I paused before the mirror, taking in the sight of my reflection. I carefully buttoned up my brand-new, crisp eggplant purple button-down shirt, running my fingers over the smooth fabric. The pants of my grey suit hung neatly, freshly ironed by my beautiful wife. I smoothed down my hair one last time, making sure every strand was in place, wanting to look my best for the day ahead.

"My, my someone's looking devilishly handsome," Y/n cooed as she gracefully emerged from the bathroom, I couldn't help but admire her exquisite outfit. She was wearing a snug, deep purple dress that accentuated her figure perfectly. Her vibrant Y/H/C hair was beautifully styled in vintage curls, framing her face like a work of art. To complete her look, she wore a pair of sophisticated grey heels that added an extra touch of elegance, along with a matching grey belt and a dainty grey headband, tying the whole ensemble together with effortless style. "You know about some cute stenographer you're hoping to see Benny?"

I smirked seeing her so stunning, "No, just wanted to look nice and presentable, what about you? Are you planning on flirting with the judge? Or are you just trying to rush things and give every man in there a heart attack?" I smirked wrapping my arms around her,

"No, I just wanted to make sure I matched up with my handsome husband,"

"I love you so much," I cooed,

"I love you too Benny," She smiled,

We shared a kiss and I cuddled up with her as we stood in the full-length mirror, "Usual I am very anti-shopping trips." I began,

"Ohh I know,"

"Yeah, yeah, I am usually very anti-five-hour shopping trips that cost us this much money..."

"But?" she smiled wickedly,

"But... I must admit. We look fucking Sexy."

"Not fair test, you're always sexy,"

"Ohh am I?" I smirked pulling her closer, "We'll you sure would know my sexy little wifey." I cooed kissing all over her neck as she applied a matching purple lipstick, "This colour does suit us,"

"It really does, I may be changing wardrobes,"

"Ohh? My god, it's only taken twenty-six years of knowing you and now you decided it's time to ditch the chess monochrome?"

"I never found a colour that suits me this well," I smirked checking myself out a lot, and Her of course. "yowl" I growled,

"Benny, did you legit just cat growl yourself?" She glared,

"...And you,"

"Come on, we need to get going." She laughed trying to leave but I stopped her, "Yes?"

"Thank you for picking the clothes out, everyone looks really nice and it really suits us all."

"I did my best," She chuckled grabbing my trench coat from the bed for me to slip on, "Very Watts,"

"Humm..." I nodded, "Purple for Violet, Grey for sterling, and black and white... for you and me," I cooed giving her a soft kiss, "I don't know what I'd do without you,"

"I don't either Benny," She cooed,

"And... extra plus, mostly purple for violet today. And no matter what stain you stop on purple it all looks black. Which will be very handy... for water... coffee... red liquids of any kind, you know whatever we encounter today,"

"Benny," She warns,

"You're rule was don't get arrested."

"And I stand by that, Don't get arrested, and if you get a punch or a kick in?"

"One for you too." I nodded,

"That's why I married you," She smiled kissing my cheek before she went to fetch Sterling,

I made my way downstairs and found Violet anxiously fixing her hair. She looked lovely in her sweet little purple dress, which had a flowing teenage style but was similar to Y/n's. I walked over to her and gently helped her place the flower headband in her hair, giving her a tender kiss on the cheek. "You look beautiful sweetheart,"

"Maybe too beau-"

"Anyone dare to tell my daughter she's too beautiful I will drop-kick his ass."

She laughed,

"You ready?"

"Yeah," she nodded, "You think they'll let me punch him after?"

"Ohh I do hope so, if not... I do have enough cash to bribe a correction officer." I joked,

"Look who's all dressed up for his big sister's revenge day," Y/n cooed as she brought Sterling in his little suit,

"Court date Mom," Violet smiled,

"same thing," I chuckled, "Look at you! So handsome, all the ladies will be swooning," I smiled cuddling Sterling,

"Everyone ready?"

"Yeah. Let's do this thing." Violet nodded setting the pace as she headed to the car,

"Loving the confidence Sweetheart." I chuckled following her,

The atmosphere in the large wood-lined courtroom was tense, with a significant number of people filling the hall, reflecting the widespread interest in the story of her disappearance. The impending media coverage was expected to be substantial, as evidenced by the presence of journalists from various outlets. Amidst this, the chess review reporter stood out, appearing somewhat out of place among the seasoned journalists. Additionally, her friends from school, local business owners, and other worried parents were also present, underscoring the community's deep concern. Overall, it was a respectable turnout, highlighting the widespread impact of the situation. We sat together as a family, Myself closest to the stand, of course, as there was no way in hell anyone was coming near my daughter without getting through to me first. Violet to my side, Y/n on the end with Sterling in his pram close to the wall, I had wanted to put Violet there but she wanted to be in the middle made her feel more confident than the corner which I understand.

Soon enough, it all began.

First was a jury filled the rows of people of all types which made me feel a little better. Then officers and legal people only one woman which I found interesting for a brief moment and as it happened she was on our side, in fact... they all seemed to be. Then the Judge in his professional clothes, we all stood as he arrived, he seemed a bitter old man who'd rather be playing dominoes as he took the chair.

And at last, in he came.

He was a tall man, not thin but not large either, with pinky pale skin, and uninteresting brown hair, blue eyes, wearing prison clothes and with two items, A bible and a cross necklace. He came to the box for him and smiled around the courtroom to all those who looked at him. We met eyes and he looked through me to see Violet, but I didn't let his gaze escape mine I made him meet my eyes again and as if we shared a thousand words in those brief seconds he looked away in defeat.

"Order, Case 17.14.05.85. Accused Jacob Abraham Whitemore. Stand accused of Kidnapping, Rape of a Minor, Abuse of a Minor, Sexual Abuse of a Minor, and least of all counterfeit Tabacco products. You stand trial before a jury of your peers and the public at large here inside Brooklynn East Court House this twentieth of May." The judge explained, "Where is your legal council, Mr Whitemore?"

"I- I have chosen to represent myself, I know no word more powerful than the lord and I know he will use me as a mouthpiece to speak the truth of this matter. They must be made to listen..."

Oh my god, I already wanna hit him over the head with a chair,

"Very well, Mr Whitemore how do you plead to the crimes of which you are accused?"

"Not guilty." He said,

Ohhh now I am gonna hit him,

Violet took my hand knowing this would be an ordeal for her so I squeezed it back hoping to comfort her.

"Very well, Miss Peters you have the floor."

"Thank you, Judge," She said getting up from her seat and pacing back and forth as she spoke, "I have no plan on proving you guilty Mr Whitemore, Rather I plan to bear your crimes to the jury and the public themselves so they may see the horror's you have committed. I believe truly in your mind you are innocent, but... we are not in your mind Mr Whitemore," She explained, "In simple facts, this man Kidnapped a fifteen-year-old girl and held her hostage while he committed horrific acts against her for two whole years of her life, only being stopped when police came to investigate his local store over reports of the selling and distribution of fake tobacco products,"

Shock went across the courtroom and I held Violet tight,

"The rest of my time I shall be letting you all see and understand the depravity of what happened in those two years," She nodded, "Any of those who wish to leave now, I would recommend it. I wish I could never know too."

"Proceed, prosecutor," The judge nodded,

"Mr Whitemore, can you tell me about your father? Mr James Whitemore?"

"My father was a priest for the Baptist church on Potter's Road," He nodded,

"I see, I see, and his father? Mr John Whitemore?"

"The same Madam,"

"And his father? Mr Elijah Whitemore"

"The same,"

"I see, and correct me if I am wrong but you are not a priest? In any capacity?"

"No, I am not, but I have followed God's word-"

"Yes or no Mr Whitemore,"

"No."

"And is that becuase you were rejected from every bible college to which you ever applied?"

"...yes,"

"Yes and why was it you were rejected so much?"

"... When I was a young schoolboy, I would take my bible to school and I would spend every free moment preaching the word of god to the heavens I was forced to educate with, by the end of my first terms. I knew the devil had them hard. So I would force them to hear the word of god."

"By breaking their legs so they couldn't run away Mr Whitemore," she glared, "And this of course when on your permanent record and yet you still proceeded to do so?"

"They must be made to listen..." I noticed that was the second time he had said that, and both times it made Violet's hand feel cold,

"This continued until beyond the education sector," She said, "No college would allow your entrance, But... I give you credit, You took initiative and began your own business." She said clicking the first slide a photo of the corner shop, "Tell me about it?"

"My small store is designed to cater to the everyday needs of the community. We stock essentials such as milk, bread, and paper products so that our customers can conveniently access these items without having to make the trip to the market." He nodded, "I love my store so much,"

I grimaced to think of the money we had spent in their over the years,

"And you ran this store for how many years?"

"Six Madam,"

"Six years, very impressive." She nodded, "What.. lead you to open such a store with no training, no family background, and only a rental lease?"

"I take all word from him,"

"Him Mr Whitemore?"

"God above." He nodded, "He sends me all, he has such plans for me, for all of us. They must be made to listen to the plans,"

There it was again,

"I see. Officer Ducan? you have been a patrol officer for six years correct?"

"Six years to the day. and it's been an honour." The officer nodded,

"Have you ever known of any issues from Mr Whitemore's store?"

"No, no reports, nothing, not even a brick through the window or a stolen candy bar,"

"Thank you, Now... Note Exhibit A on the front of the store sign reading 'One school child at a time' Would you like to tell us about that Mr Whitemore?"

"Well, it's only a small store..."

"Other stores your size don't hold this rule? Is there an issue with school children?"

"No no, of course not lambs of the lord unspoilt,"

"Then why the sign?"

"I like to serve one customer at a time it makes things simple,"

"Why the sign Mr Whitemore?"

"... I like to serve one customer at a time, so any messages the good lord has for them I can hear clearly, like now... so many in this room so much to say I don't know what's for whom."

"So you admit this sign is purposefully for isolating children?"

"...I... yes."

Gasps ran out,

"Thank you, I wish to turn your attention now back to the date in question, May 14th 1985. Do you have anything to say in your defence, Mr Whitemore?"

"They must be made to listen..."

"Noted." She nodded, "I'd like to call the victim, Miss Violet Watts to the stand please if she feels strong enough to tell her story?" She asked turning to Violet,

The room went quiet and I saw him stare at her,

I squeezed her hand as did Y/n but she got up adjusted her dress and walked with her head held high, Y/n came to her seat so we could hold hands and try not to panic.

I saw as she walked past his box he spoke a hushed not a soul heard but I saw and I read the words on his lips 'Be a good girl' I wanted to speak up but I didn't want to frighten Violet as she took her seat.

"Hello," She bravely smiled into the mic a little too low for her,

"Thank you for being here today Miss Watts, This can't be easy and even just being here is more than most would ever be able to do." She nodded, "Please State your name, honey,"

"Miss Violet Alekhine Watts," She said,

"A very lovely name," The Judge nodded, "Interesting Middle name?"

"My- My dad really likes chess."

Everyone suddenly looked at me, so I waved,

"... Apologise for the momentary derail of this but I must ask the name of the baby I am too curious,"

"Sterling Pirc Watts," Y/n smiled,

"Adorable," The Judge nodded, "Proceed,"

"Thank you, Judge, Let the records note the adorable baby."

"Noted!" The dictator Nodded,

"Now, Violet. Tell us a little bit about yourself."

"Well... My dad is US chess champion, my Mom was a reporter for chess review back when they first met. They got married, bought our little house, and had me. They're the best parents I could ask for really they are, Dad and I play chess by the fire, Mom and I bake together, she makes the best brownies, and whenever a chess tournament falls on a school holiday or weekend we all go as a family see the cities, and every day rain or shine one of them takes me and picks me up from school even though it's only a few minutes walk,"

Awww I got a little teary hearing her talk about us like that, I squeezed Y/n's hand tight as we both got a little emotional hearing her talking like that,

"Lovely, And you think even as a teenager you have a good relationship with your family?"

"I have the best relationship with them, they always tell me they love me, always look out for me, support me no matter what,"

"Supportive of what may I ask?"

"... I came out... as liking just girls when I was thirteen. I just always knew. And Mom and Dad didn't argue, didn't debate, didn't tell me I just needed to get older or that my mind would change without so much as a raised voice they accepted me, for who I am. No questions asked,"

I saw his face full of rage at her words, and things began to make more sense to me.

"Now Violet, On this faithful day May 14th 1985, How did your day go?"

"Well... I got out of bed, showered, had breakfast, and before we left I asked my dad if I could walk home on my own today, I was 15 and wanted to be a little more independent, plus I wanted to walk with friends maybe get some snacks... maybe see a cute girl," she explained "But we made a deal, he'd drive me to school as usual, but I could walk home. So long as I called from the phone box outside the school before I left and came straight home. And everything went fine normal school day. I was excited to walk home on my own for once, I made plans to walk home with some friends who live nearby, the last teacher was being a dick and held everyone back at the end of the day cause he was missing a pair of scissors, turns out they where on his desk, So I got my stuff from my locker and went outside the gates to the little phone box where I called mom, told her why I was late out but I was on my way. I met my friends and we started the walk home, We went to the little shop just on the corner, to sneakily get some snacks... even if dad told me not to,"

"Umm, and you never made it home that day did you, Violet?"

"No. I didn't."

"The store you stopped at. Was Whitemore Corner Store?"

"Yes."

"And you observed his one school child at a time sign seen in exhibit A?"

"We did, we went one at a time, I was last since I lived the closest so I was going to grab my stuff and head straight home. I went to the back got my snacks and went to the counter."

"Who was at the counter?"

"No one, I waited, I called out but nothing so I left the correct change on the counter and went to leave."

"But then what happened Violet?"

"The door was locked," She nodded, "And... I suddenly felt a hard crack on the back of my head,"

"Exhibit B, a bathroom key wooden block roughly 2 x 3, bloody. With DNA matching Miss Watts." She said showing the next side,

Ohh my god I am gonna kill him...

Y/n held my hand keeping me grounded frankly her hand and all these witnesses were all that was stopping me from climbing over and pummeling him into the ground.

"Mr Whitemore, Do you deny the school children obeyed your rules?"

"They obeyed them perfectly, and I gave each a message before they left,"

"And the message you gave Violet was a 2 X 3? Do you deny this?"

"I do not."

Gasps erupted,

"Was this a mistake? perhaps you assumed her stealing her gummy worms?"

"No. she paid. She couldn't be allowed to leave." He said,

"And why not Mr Whitemore?"

"They must be made to listen..."

"And who is they, Mr Whitemore? Miss Watts?"

"She's one of them."

"One of whom?"

"She's a Devil girl!" he yelled getting up from his chair,

Violet jumped back,

Immediately I got up ready to fight him if I needed to,

"Order! Order in the court!" The Judge Demanded, "Sit down Mr Whitemore. And You too Mr Watts."

I nodded and took my seat taking Y/n's hand tightly as he too took his seat again,

"You do not deny you hit Miss Watts over the head with a 2 x 3 and took her down to your basement on the 14th of May 1985?"

"... I do not deny this. And I would do it again." He gritted,

So not to spam but Just a genuine question. What would the Hantengu clones modern be like if they had a younger sister. Like a sister in toddler years who was genuinely kind, compassionate and well extremely innocent who nice to everyone? Just curious

I actually have thought about this before

Hantengu brothers with a Toddler sister

they all spoil her

like absolutely spoil her

but Sekido is also strict

she is NOT being an ipad kid like Zohakuten

Sekido stresses about if she is learning correctly and all of that toddler stuff

Karaku and Urogi help around the house more often to relieve some tiny stress off of Sekido’s shoulders

Sekido legit does not let her out of his sight, he’s so scared that she is going to stumble and end up hurting herself

karaku and urogi are often too careless with her but she likes it

they are the fun brothers

Zohakuten has been trying to tell her that she isn’t allowed to have a boyfriend in toddler language

it isn’t really working

aizetsu will sing her to sleep and read her bedtime stories

takes her out on bunny cafe dates

teaches her about animals and tries to get her to babble out the words

she’s doing great

aizetsu holds her a lot and talks to her a lot

if she gets hurt, aizetsu immediately goes to her, babying her and asking if she is okay

aizetsu is probably her favorite brother

for halloween, she was a queen bee like dressed up as an actual bee and the brothers dressed up as bees as well and carried her around

zohakuten rather drown than go out dressed as a bee again

they try to make her go outside as much as possible

but it’s a household filled with boys

90% of the time they are playing video games

she has tried to play before but all she did was smash the control buttons w her hands and Karaku and Urogi thought it was so cute

Karaku has an instagram highlight of just her in sunglasses

she was obsessed with frozen and would just babble the words when the songs came on

urogi recorded her and put let it go on and then edited it to make it look like she was actually singing the words

sekido dresses her up

he enjoys picking out outfits for her and also doing her hair but gets mad if she has a tender head and cries

that’s when Aizetsu comes in to soothe her crying

Urogi plays hide and seek with her and also does this thing called the airplane (if y’all ain’t ever done this before you didn’t have a childhood, jk me too)

he lays on his back and then he puts her on his feet, holding onto her hands and lifts her up so it’s like she is flying

she loves it

she loves being outdoors and urogi loves being outside too so urogi will take her on hikes with him

obviously he is carrying her half the time

had to stop her from eating a worm one time

karaku sets up playdates for her

gets sad though because hanging out with them should be enough but sekido said it was important for her to make friends to develop social skills

karaku and aizetsu will color with her

urogi will join if he can focus long enough

if she starts crying, all hell breaks loose because who tf hurt their little sister?

turns out that her crayon broke

karaku has tried to teach her curse words only to get yelled at by Sekido

Zohakuten is extremely gentle with her

he’s afraid of hurting her

Rui loves her and gives Zohakuten some tips for sisters because he has a lot

Zohakuten found out that she likes it when he bounces her on his leg and he’s been doing it ever since

she has yanked his hair several times and dragged him

Zohakuten won’t be mad at her tho cuz she is a toddler

Rui offers to babysit if the brothers are busy

Zohakuten also gets jealous if she gives the other brothers attention

all of them get jealous

they get extremely protective over her

Especially SEKIDO and ZOHAKUTEN

oh hell no

zohakuten and sekido would kill for her

just wait until she is a teenager…

#demon slayer #hantengu clones #kny sekido #kny aizetsu #karaku #sekido #urogi #aizetsu #demon slayer aizetsu #kny karaku

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️MUTANT MAYHEM SPOILERSS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT AND DONT WANT SPOILERS

Okay now with that out of the way, my thoughts on the movie

I really enjoyed it.

I went to see it with a few friends and one of them made a really good point. They actually act like teenagers. Like yes, it was kinda cringey at some parts but that’s because it sounded like something a teenager would say because teenagers are awkward.

I’ve had very stupid conversations with my friends that sound like the conversations in the movie.

I noticed that this movie did the “teen talk” a lot better than I’m pretty sure all other versions of tmnt (in my opinion), even better than rise I think. Most others sound like adults writing teenagers and it sounds good most of the time but others it sounds weird.

Now for the main reason I made this post: April and Leo.

I was kind of dreading this when I saw in the trailers Leo would be interested in her (2012 April and Donnie flashbacks) but it was well done. I am a bit tired of April being a love interest for the turtles but I think it’s important to include that April is black, plus size and has acne and how Leo described her as “the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen”. Unfortunately the qualities she has aren’t shown very often to be attractive because of bs beauty standards.

It’s late so I can’t fully explain what I’m trying to say so disclaimer in case I didn’t come across this way: I don’t think that being black, plus size or having acne makes you not pretty, you are, just society sometimes says that and society is stupid.

April and Leo are cute together and written well and there is no “one of them is obsessed and the other is leading them on” going on. The fact that they end the movie looking into TCRI is adorable to me. My fav investigator duo.

Also Leo is an absolute dork. The whole phone call scene: “it’s a date then!” “Wait what a date?” “Uhhh *cue fumbling and wrestling for the phone* uhh nothing bad service byeee! Who’s got no rizz now?” Like Leo you are bad at this oh my god. (Again awkward teenager stuff)

And his bothers teasing him was so funny. They did not let that slide and teased him at every opportunity. Classic sibling behaviour

The tease for shredder was fun and I can’t wait to see what they do with him and his backstory.

Best Splinter. I love him so much. I love his whole “hating humans” arc and how he paralleled superfly and how he CHOSE to not be like him.

Both superfly and splinter have a very understandable fear (that turned into hate) of humans and how they both thought that the best way to protect their families were to hold their family too tight.

While splinter hid from the world and his fear pushed him into hiding and laying low, superfly’s fear caused him to lash out and take out his anger in a destructive way.

But splinter getting a girlfriend at the end was so cute he deserves this.

Also side note: why did so many turtles almost get hit by cars in this movie? Specifically Mikey.

He almost got hit in the flashback, then in the garage, then in the final battle with the flying cars. Then Donnie also almost got hit, I think just before they were captured but I’m not sure.

When they had to leave the movie and walked home really sadly and kept looking at the humans longingly I legit almost cried.

I was kind of surprised they ended up actually going to school and everyone was accepting. I thought they’d be like “we don’t need humans to accept us cause we accept ourselves” but I’m glad they got to go to school. They deserve it.

Also April being super upfront with them about if they didn’t save her she’d probably be running screaming was so funny. Also how she was planning to release a story about them while knowing humans probably wouldn’t accept them was a very realistic thing.

I loved April so much by the way. The way she fucking chucked the news mic into the crowd was iconic.

The fight scenes were SOOOO AMAZING I LOVED THEM SO MUCH. The splitting between the 4 (I think) fights at the same time and every other fight scene were so well done. Them figuring out that they skills they learned for years actually work in a fight and how they’re awesome at it was adorable to watch. And the way in the beginning how they were using their skills to steal get groceries was great.

All the turtles up from every version are good fighters (in their own ways) but these versions are definitely up there with how skilled and how well they work as a team. Love them.

AND THE TURTLES SHARING A ROOM AND BUNK BEDS WAS ADORABLE. It’s so funny cause later they were like “yea we have so much space to hold the 6 or 7 other mutants in our house on short notice we have lots of space!” Which means they chose to share a room with is adorable and a little bit unrealistic lol.

It seemed like a pretty realistic movie and I have bullet points of the least realistic parts (excluding the mutant animals cause duh). And this is just me being picky lol, I still loved this movie and these are just jokes.

The fact that they wrote nice things on aprils locker at the end of the movie

(Pointed out by my friend). She went from being puke girl to April O’hero. They would probably stop teasing her since she was friends with the most popular kids in the city but the 2 most likely outcomes would be

1. They just stopped and then left the insults on there, maybe scratched them out

2. Wiped off the locker and never spoke of it again

No one writes nice things on other peoples lockers lol

The boys want to share a room

I guarantee if 4 teenage brothers had a choice between sharing bunk beds and each having their own rooms, they’d have their own rooms.

Imagine arguing with your sibling and you don’t have your own room to sulk and avoid them? By choice??? People need their own spaces. No matter how much I love my siblings if I shared a room with them it’d be chaos.

There would be one prank done in that room to one of their beds and that’d be the end of the shared room lol

The fact that everyone unquestionably liked them (especially at school)

Kids are assholes. That’s it.

AGAIN this is just things I thought were unrealistic in a funny way, it’s a kids movie so it’s not that deep.

This was definitely one of my favourite versions of tmnt (I haven’t seen all of them but still). It was a good mix of serious and goofy and I liked it a lot. I recommend seeing it, I want to watch it again lol

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 34- Let's Name It Iron Man

Chapter Summary: Jen and Angelina get into a dispute with Amity on Instagram due to false rumors, while Jen deals with Anti fan hate comments. Jungkook gives Jennie the cutest gift for Christmas.

Warning: Language?? And a little bit of angst due to hate comments for Jennie and regarding her skin color.

I tried to make this as fluffy as possible too. A for effort. Flashbacks are in italics.

Genre: JenKook fluff! Namjoon Fluff! NamJen!

Words: 8,000+

------

Vexation wasn't even the word to describe how Jen felt as she sat on a lounge chair with her knees up to her chest. Sitting outside, at the poolside, the cool air caused goosebumps to rise on her skin. She was chilled but was too stubborn to go back inside.

What was the big deal?

The guy was nice. She thought he was cute and friendly. The guys were just overreacting, as usual, dimming her mood.

"I've been looking everywhere for you."

She heard a deep voice, causing her to exhale through her nose. He just had to follow her, didn't he?

"Well, you didn't need to. I'd like to be alone, can you leave?" She grumbled at Namjoon, looking straight ahead at the pool.

"No. I want to talk to you." He demanded.

"Well, I don't want to talk to you." She got off the chair, turning to face him.

"I wasn't done talking back there, now calm down and let me finish what I have to say."

"I don't want to hear it. It's the same stuff over and over again. If it's not you, it'll be Jin. Let me get to know people."

"And giving out your number to just anyone?" He scolded with irritation in his voice. She crossed her arms, turning her head to the side, stubbornly. "I would advise you to give them your Instagram or something, message on that. Not your phone. I don't want to risk it. And we wouldn't be having this conversation if you would just stop being so damn stubborn."

"Do you even understand where I'm coming from?" She argued. "I'd like to get to know people-"

"Do you understand where I am coming from?" He cut her off in English. If he was speaking in full English to her during a dispute, she knew he was upset and serious about the situation. "My point makes better sense than yours. I know you want to talk to more people and have new friends but that guy seems sketchy."

"He's not sketchy!" She exasperated

Namjoon let out another sigh of frustration, running a hand through his hair. He had to remember that she was still a teenager and teens, well, they want to explore and live their lives to the fullest.

"He's just a sound engineer. He's nice." He heard her claim.

"That's what they all say..." He grumbled.

Scoffing at his statement, Jen shook her head in disbelief. "Wow, Joon, thanks."

"Look I am trying to-"

"No. I'm gonna go to bed. I'm done with this."

"Jennifer Walker, don't you walk away from me." He sternly called her out. If he had to go into full father mode to protect her, he'd do it.

She stopped in her tracks, taken aback at the sound of her full name. Her dad would say that if she would be disobedient or if he was serious. The sudden thought began to make her ponder about her father.

"Jennifer Walker, don't you walk away from me!"

The sound of her father's stern voice made her stop walking before she could make it up the steps. It was a Friday evening and Jen stood in front of her dad and sisters. Her sisters gave her looks of disapproval while her father said with authority, "Apologize to your sisters,"

"I didn't do anything!" She snapped.

"You broke our TV. There's legit a crack in the middle of it! We told you to stay out of our room!" Vienna argued.

"How do you even know it was me? You can buy another one!" Jen fussed.

Okay, so maybe she was playing with a volleyball and accidentally smashed it against the TV and it fell off the table.

"Jennifer apologize." Her father ordered.

Sighing with annoyance, she murmured a "Sorry."

"Louder and say it like you mean it."

"I'm sorry I broke your TV..."

"This is coming out of your allowance." Her father informed as he walked back to the kitchen.

After hearing his statement, Jen dropped her jaw in disbelief, instantly rushing after him, ignoring her sisters' laughs. "W-wait a minute! Come on! Dad! Please don't do this!"

-------

Although that argument was stupid and she was acting like a stubborn baby sister at the time, the flashback made her smile softly. She missed her dad. But for some reason, Namjoon would remind her of him and the sadness of missing her father would fade away. As she thought about it, she began to feel bad for acting this way towards him.

Namjoon was right.

She turned around, bumping into his chest as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her in for a tight hug. She felt his other arm wrap around her waist.

"You are so stubborn. Just listen to me," he went back to Korean. "I just want to protect you. I'm trying my best here. I couldn't take it if anything bad happened to you. Mentally or physically. I don't want you to deal with any scandals. I want your time here in BTS and in Korea to be a fun one, with no problems. That's all I want, as we continue to work as a team."

Wrapping her arms around him, she returned the hug. "I understand...I'm sorry, Namjoon."

"Don't worry about it. Just promise me you'll be careful. And if there are any problems, I'm a phone call away."

Back in the hotel, Jen went to Tae's room as she watched him play on his phone on the bed. The others were around doing other activities and Yoongi was using the shower in the room she shared with him, Jin and Namjoon.

Taehyung instantly smiled, "Hey! You're here! Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, things are fine. I understand where he's coming from. Anyway, you need to use the bathroom? I'm about to shower. Yoongi is using ours at the moment."

Setting his phone down, Tae got off the bed, too excitedly. "Shower? Can I shower with you?"

With his question catching her off guard, Jen whipped her head to him, baffled. "E-excuse me?"

"Can we shower together?" He repeated innocently like it was no big deal.

"Uh, no Tae, what the heck?" She stared at him, raising an eyebrow.

"What? Why not, Ennie?" He whined. "I just want to shower with my friend."

"Tae, I'm a girl!"

"Girls shower and so do guys. And they can shower together. We can save water! We can help the environment."

"Lord have mercy on my soul." She murmured, walking into the bathroom.

"Wait, so is that a yes?" He asked as he took off his shirt. He stumbled into the bathroom as he began to undo his pants. Turning around, she widened her eyes, alarmed by his unpredictability.

"H-hey! No-no-no-no-no-no." She placed her hands on his chest to stop him. "Nice tummy by the way." She laughed when he giggled after she poked it. "But anyway, we cannot shower together, it'll be weird. I mean, with you and the guys it's kind of different. But I'm a girl, y'know? You never know when your weenie will appear."

"Hehehe, weenie." He giggled.

"So, I'ma need you to go back into the bedroom until I'm done showering, my good friend." She turned him around and lightly pushed him out of the room.

"Okay, maybe next time? Or the next time after that? Please? I want to shower with all my members!" He called out as she shut the door. "Jennie? Please? Give me an answer!" He whined

"40% chance." She decided to answer and turned on the shower.

"Okay! I can live with that!" Still disappointed he couldn't shower with her like he would with his hyungs. Tae went back to the bed to relax, putting back on his shirt.

Moments later, Jungkook and Jimin arrived with snacks in their hands. "Is Jennie back?" Jimin asked.

"Yeah, she's in the bathroom showering since Yoongi was using theirs in their room. I'm bummed, she wouldn't let me shower with her." Tae sighed. Before he could explain the situation, he was cut off by a loud "YAH!" from Jungkook as a pillow connected to his face. "Oof!"

"What do you mean you wanted to shower with her!?" The Maknae shouted, smothering him with a pillow.

"Do you wanna die!?" Jimin shouted, jumping on top of Taehyung. He grabbed another pillow, striking him multiple times as yells, battle cries and screams filled the room.

"The heck?" Jen murmured as she rinsed herself off. "What is going on out there!?" She shouted loud enough for them to hear.

"NOTHING!"

She heard a loud yell in response. Hearing Tae groan dramatically, caused her to wonder if they were just play fighting, figuring that Jungkook and Jimin were back in the room.

After drying herself off, blow drying and moisturizing her hair, Jen walked out in her pajamas, witnessing the interesting sight. There were Jungkook and Jimin on top of Tae, in a compromising position.

"Oh, dear..." She said awkwardly, causing the three of them to stop fighting and turn their attention to her.

"Oh. Jennie, how nice of you to join us." Jimin smiled sheepishly.

"Uh, you know what, I uh, I'm gonna...go hang with Yoongi instead, so um, you guys uh...finish what you're doing." She awkwardly responded and prepared to leave the room.

"W-wait a minute, no, it's not what it looks like!" Jimin shouted over Jungkook and Tae's protests.

------

Back in Korea, Jen met up with Hayoon at a local coffee shop. Since Jen arrived first, she ordered herself and Hayoon large cups of hot chocolate and made herself comfortable at a booth to get started on her chemistry homework. After five minutes passed, Hayoon arrived.

Jen's mouth quirked up as she pulled her in for a big hug. "Hey, girl! Long time no see!! You dyed your hair! I like it!"

"Thanks! Preparing for that debut next year, hehe." Hayoon beamed. Her hair was previously brown and now it was dyed black. Things were coming up for her and Jen couldn't be any happier. "It has been so long! How was the MAMA Awards and Hong Kong?" She asked as she sat across from Jennie.

"Girl! Hong Kong was lit! The whole MAMA Awards was lit. It was so amazing to be on that stage and perform with Block B."

"So proud! I hope GFriend makes it there, too."

"You will. How's the debut preparation coming along?"

"Swimmingly. I believe this will be a great debut. I'll make sure to teach you our dances."

"Oh dear, isn't it a cute dance? I can't do cute dances. I like aegyo but I look awkward doing it. I'm more into the powerful, badass concepts. Like Danger."

"But you can do sexy concepts. War of Hormone was a hit."

Jen felt her face heat up at the memories of grinding against her best friend for the choreography. But the memories made her crack a smile as she took a sip of her hot chocolate, avoiding eye contact.

"I feel shy doing those sexy moves," Jen spoke, meeting her stare.

"Well, not when you're on that stage with Jungkook~." She teased with a fit of giggles.

"Oh, hush!" She laughed with her. She had to admit, that he made her feel extremely comfortable when they performed War of Hormone despite Jin going bonkers over the constant skinship. "I'm grateful my stage charisma has gotten better. I need to work on my fierce expressions but I'm satisfied at how much I've improved."

"And as for the cute dances?"

"I'm a lost cause."

"Hehehe. I could teach you our dances, one day. You up for that?"

"Get ready for me being an awkward bean. Because I just cannot. It's so hard. What did I miss in Chemistry?"

"We have a test coming up."

"Of course, we do," Jen murmured with disappointment. "Chapter 6?"

"Yes, chapter 6. Hey, is that someone's number?" Her attention peered to Jen's cup.

"Number...?" Turning her cup around, she saw a phone number, most likely written by the male barista she ordered the hot chocolates from. "Smooth."

"Are you gonna call him? Or talk to him?"

"Eh, nah. I'm flattered but I'm gonna be more cautious around stuff like this."

"Good idea. Especially with how the phone numbers of idols have been released to the public these days. It's scary."

As they began to work on the homework together, Jen felt her phone buzz. Taking it out of her bag, she stared at the notification from Angelina.

Angelina: BITCH! Did you see Amity's recent interview!? [11:00 AM]

Confused, she opened the message and saw a link to a YouTube video from the Wendy Williams YouTube channel. "Oh, here we go." She murmured as she put one earbud in, connecting it to her phone. Reading the caption, 'Amity members keep it real about working with Angelina and Jennie', Jen already knew there were going to be problems.

And if Angelina texted her, there would be even more problems.

'Real, eh? Let's see how many lies come out of their mouths.' She thought bitterly, pressing play.

There were Hailey, Trinity and Layla sitting on the couch with Wendy as the crowd applauded.

"Okay, so I got to ask, you three recently came to Angelina's album reveal party, correct?" Wendy had asked.

"That is correct." Layla smiled.

"Were you invited?" Wendy raised a brow.

"Well, she wasn't too thrilled." Hailey shrugged.

"Yes, we're all aware of the fight between you two." Wendy pointed out.

"Yeah, but I thought as a good leader of Amity, we should come and support her. Let bygones be bygones."

Shaking her head at the stupidity coming out of Hailey's mouth, Jen thought to herself with annoyance, 'Bitch, you went there to reveal your world tour. You weren't there to support her at all. Stop trying to act like a good person. Angelina kicked your ass and you expect her to be buddy-buddy with you afterward?'

"So, you went there and saw Angelina and Jennie, two former members of Amity. So, is there any tension between you three with the two of them, since they left?" Wendy questioned.

"Oh, you already know it was. I'll be the first to say that Amity is now stronger and better than ever now that the two of them aren't a part of the group anymore." Trinity answered as the crowd, mostly filled with ladies, oohed at the sudden gossip while Wendy sipped her tea, gaining laughs from the crowd.

As she watched, Jen couldn't help but roll her eyes. Of course, they would say something like that.

"Angelina and Jennie were horrible to work with." Layla shook her head.

'How?' Jen questioned their BS. They were always lying, trying to make themselves look better.

"Yeah, they were so difficult. Angelina and her anger issues. Jennie acting like a spoiled brat. She went on a rampage when she didn't get a solo like the rest of us. She even ranted that she should've gotten it first because her singing skills were better than ours. She complained a lot." Hailey went on as the crowd disapproved.

'What the hell? I wasn't that upset. Yeah, I was bummed but I waited patiently despite not getting a solo like the rest of them. I never acted like a spoiled brat or complained, I was humbled by the opportunity of even being in the damn group. Do you understand how many girls auditioned to be a part of Amity? Don't take it for granted. Why would you lie?' Jen thought in disbelief.

First Hailey decided to learn Korean just to get back at her, and now this? But the sad thing is, people will do things or say anything to get on top these days. Jen guessed that this is how the world works now. She wouldn't be surprised if they did anything intimate behind the scenes to get what they wanted, better yet the lying. It was sad and it frustrated her.

"But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Jennie is only doing K-Pop to try to further her career and then if she's popular enough, which I doubt, leave them and go solo. And with Angelina, she gets around. We've seen how she was when she was back in Amity. She's crazy. I'm still surprised she got Drake on her album. I dunno about that, something seems up." Layla shrugged

Jen scoffed and shook her head. Angelina worked her ass off on her first solo album and it wasn't easy getting Drake on the album. Not to mention how much money it costs to get big rappers featured on songs.

How dare they?

They're digging themselves a grave, now.

"These fucking punk ass bitches." Jen growled and slammed her fist against the table. Hayoon flinched at the sudden sound and glanced at her with concern.

"Are you okay?" Hayoon questioned nervously.

"Amity bullcrap."

"What happened now?"

After filling her in, Jen went directly on Instagram to Hailey's page, to her recent photo of Amity posing with Wendy Williams. Scrolling down the comment section, she spotted Angelina's comment.

ItzAngelina- Lying through your teeth again I see. Got something better to do? You got A LOT of nerve to say that I of all people get around. First of all, bitch, I did NOT sleep with anybody to get where I am at today, so don't you dare try to start shit you don't know anything about. I'm NOT you.

Jen laughed at the comment, agreeing with everything she said. She knew she would probably get some heat for doing this, and exposure on K-Pop news sites but at this point, she needed to set the three of them straight.

JJennie_JW- ItzAngelina FOR REAL! Enough is enough! This isn't cute!

ItzAngelina- JJennie_JW bitch, I'm pressed! They got me fucked up! I'm not happy.

JJennie_JW- ItzAngelina you and me both, I'm tired of this.

TrinTrin- ItzAngelina JJennie_JW JEALOUS!!

JJennie_JW- TrinTrin OF WHO!? You!? April Fools was months ago!

ItzAngelina- TrinTrin You are THE LAST person I should be jealous of.

JJennie_JW- TrinTrin I highly advise you to shut your mouth because you damn sure would not even dare to say it to my face or Angelina's.

Laytastic- That moment when our careers are better than those two, and they gotta rant on social media to be relevant lol. JJennie_JW ItzAngelina

JJennie_JW- Laytastic the only thing relevant about you is the fact that you have no edges what so ever and everyone keeps making memes about it on the internet...exit stage left and take several seats...

ItzAngelina- JJennie_JW HAHAHAHA I'm deceased! Laytastic sit down before we embarrass you even more. And if I remember correctly I was blessed to have my album in the top 3 on Billboard. Where oh where is Amity's new album??

Laytastic- ItzAngelina We're working on it and it'll be #1 on billboard. Just watch!

ItzAngelina- JJennie_JW HA! I LOVE how she replies to me and not you, lol.

JJennie_JW- ItzAngelina right!!

AllHailHailey- Oh, look who is on my page...how I'm not surprised. Go bitch somewhere else.

JJennie_JW- You are the worst of all. AllHailHailey stop lying to the media. First you crash Angie's album party to reveal Amity's world tour and THEN you wanna rub your Korean skills in my face when you damn well know you said you hated it and it was a waste of time. How low can you go?

AllHailHailey- JJennie_JW blah blah blah, complain, complain. Are you done whining? If so, get the hell off my page.

ItzAngelina- AllHailHailey No, you treated the both of us like shit. We don't regret leaving and we're better off without your asses. If you do this rumor publicity stunt again for the media, you better watch your back. I am not the one

JJennie_JW- AllHailHailey TrinTrin Laytastic yeah, so shut the fuck up and choke on a dick.

"Oh, my...that got intense." Hayoon looked on at the comments.

"Been hanging around Yoongi too much." Jen shrugged with no remorse.

"I'm sure he'll be proud."

The fans in the comment section were eating it up and laughing at the comment written with laughing emojis and skulls, explaining that they were dead by the comment.

ItzAngelina- Hahahahaha JJennie_JW Finally she's awakened! I missed this side of you! And don't you feel bad about it! #ProudFriend

Putting her phone away after no one else was replying, Jen sighed in contentment. "That felt good."

"So, who is Hailey? Is she an African American such as yourself?" Hayoon asked with interest.

"She's this Hispanic girl that used to be my leader in my old group in America. I swear, she'll put herself on top before the group. The others are just too stupid to realize. She used to be nice when we all first started but then the fame got into her head. And now she is learning Korean. Mind you, she went on a full rant about how pointless it was and how stupid K-Pop is. And now I feel like she learned it to get back at me and to try to get close to BTS. I'm not having that. I don't want her around my boys. I just get bad vibes about it."

"Go with your gut. So why does she hate you and Angelina so much?"

"Sometimes people just hate on others because they're bitter. Unfortunately, people want to see others fail and want everything for themselves. It's a lot of people like that in this world...it's sad. Why can't we all just be happy and supportive of one another? Why does one have to try to sabotage someone else's success to benefit themselves?"

"Wow." She paused. "What a bitch."

Jennie choked on her drink and started laughing. She was not expecting sweet, innocent and shy Hayoon to say something like that.

Puzzled at the sudden laughing, Hayoon raised a brow. "What?"

"You just cursed."

"Oh. I guess I did. Aigo." She looked down shyly.

Going back to the YouTube video to read the comments was a mistake for Jennie as she started to get bummed out at the negative comments about her.

'I never liked Jennie in the first place. They made a mistake putting her in a K-Pop group.'

'I know, right? It's KOREAN POP for a reason. Why is an American in the group? What was Bang PD thinking?'

'Okay, but what's the problem? She knows Korean, and can sing in Korean, what's the difference? Is it her skin color? If so, that's a dumbass reason. And other nonkoreans are in K-Pop.'

'She's kind of pretty for a black girl. But we don't have to worry about her dating any of the members. They're into pale girls. We're fine!'

'Yeah, she's nowhere near their ideal type, so we still have a chance.'

'And why are fans shipping her with the members? Like no.'

'It doesn't matter if she's in BTS because the guys all like PALE girls. So, she doesn't stand a chance. No one wants to date someone with dirty skin.'

"Ouch..." Jen cringed at the comments as she felt her emotions run high. "Did you really have to say it like that?"

Yes, everyone has their preference on who they want to date and how they want their special someone to look. But did you have to call her skin dirty? There was nothing dirty about her colored skin.

'I just feel as tho it was easy for her to get there since she's American and had less training time. It's a slap in the face to see people like her be in a group where other trainees worked harder and had way more time to train. She doesn't deserve it.'

'So, what if she had less training time? Bang PD believed she was ready than the other girls who auditioned, despite them being there a little longer than her. So, complain to him. He knows damn well what he's doing, and I'm supporting Jennie no matter what. She performed way before the guys had when she was in her old group. She has the experience.'

'Okay but she doesn't even LOOK like a K-Pop idol. Visuals are everything in K-Pop. Yeah, she sings great and all but you gotta have the looks too. She's not the full package. Big Hit is wasting their time. She should go back to America while she can.'

Jen felt herself getting irate. She wasn't aware there was a certain way you had to look in this industry, the way this person commented. Yeah, she wasn't looking like Taeyeon or Beyonce but she still believed she was beautiful. She wanted to be known for her talents, not her looks or skin color.

'She doesn't even call the boys oppa. Like, why? How rude is that? She's being so disrespectful to the members for not calling them oppa. Doesn't she know the culture?'

Jen rolled her eyes. She was always respectful towards those older than her. She found it ridiculous that antis found the littlest things to complain about. She wasn't used to the word. She didn't think it was a big deal. They guys seemed perfectly fine with it, and she even called them by nicknames. They don't care if she didn't want to call them oppa. Sure they'd like to hear it when she was ready but they wouldn't pressure her.

'Her skin is just, so noticeable from the other members. Her skin looks so dirty. Why is it like that? Did she forget to shower?'

Again, with the dirty skin comments. It hurt as she felt tears of frustration appear in her eyes. What was the problem?

'Just waiting until the day she leaves. She already left one group, it should be obvious that she'll leave this one pretty soon.'

'I believe what Hailey said. I think she's just there for publicity and then once she gets popular she'll leave BTS to start solo.'

As she went on Instagram, she saw a photo of her, before and after. It was the same screenshot of her at the red-carpet event for the MAMA Awards. But the after photo had her looking lighter instead, and she looked white washed as she read the caption, 'The after photo makes her look so much prettier.'

"Damn, they really want me to leave BTS, huh?" She asked sadly. "If I was lighter or Asian or something, would they complain? Would they say these things? Will they finally look at me for what I do instead of how I look? My skin color?" She murmured. "Is this how Michelle Lee felt? Talented but faced discrimination since she's colored and Black-Korean? I hate this. It frustrates me to no end. I didn't come here to be whitewashed. I didn't come here to be judged like this because of my skin. That is friggin' disrespectful. I came here because I love this, doing this, performing with BTS, performing a genre that I love. And this is what I must deal with? I've ignored it once but now this is getting too much..."

She never knew the dislike would be this bad.

Hayoon's heart began to ache for her friend as she placed a hand on hers, smiling sympathetically.

"Please don't let it get to you. I know the comments are hurtful but please don't get discouraged. Antis are nasty people. Those aren't your fans. There's a lot of fans that love you for you. Don't forget that."

"I'll be fine, don't worry. Thanks, Hayoon."

But damn, everyone is so fixated with visuals, they forget about the talent. Why?

-----

On December 9th, Jennie finally arrived back at the dorm after school, eagerly rushing to her room, and shutting the door.

"What's her problem?" Yoongi asked from the couch.

"J-Cole's album. It came out today." Namjoon answered.

Today was a great day for Jennie for just the simple fact that J.Cole's recently released album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive was there in her room to listen to. It had been torturous to wait until school was over but now, she could jam out in peace.

For the past few minutes, she blasted the music from her room, as Namjoon laughed. "I wouldn't go in there if I were you. She's in her chill vibe. Let her enjoy the album. I don't want her cussing anyone out for ruining her groove." He warned Jimin and Tae who were about to knock.

'J.Cole, huh?' Yoongi thought as he turned his music off his headphones to listen to the music blasting in Jen's room.

Meanwhile, Jennie, who sat on her bed, doing homework, rapped along fluently to Wet Dreamz, nodding her head back and forth.

Oh, you a pro, homie? Well, I want you to show me

My mama gone for the weekend

So Saturday, baby, we can get to freakin'"

That's when my heart start racin' and my body start sweatin'

As she tried her best to do her homework, she started to get distracted and began dancing around her room to G.O.M.D rapping along. Outside her room, Yoongi's interest sparked as he listened closely, hearing her rapping. Although he didn't understand all the English, he noticed the speed of the lyrics and heard her match it proficiently, as a smirk came across his lips.

As the next song came on, Yoongi raised a brow at the sudden bass of the instrumental from No Role Modelz. It intrigued him so much, he took his headphones off and headed to her room. There she was, with her back to him, rapping loud and proud. He glanced at the books on her bed. Shouldn't she be doing her work?

First things first: Rest in peace Uncle Phil!

For real!

You the only father that I ever knew

I get my bitch pregnant, I'mma be a better you

Prophecies that I made way back in the Ville, fulfilled

"Listen even back-OH! WHOA! Hi!" She jumped in surprise, finally noticing Yoongi by the door, watching with amusement. She quickly turned the music down and laughed nervously. "Hey, Yoongi, how are ya?"

"Huh. So, this is how you rap when you're not in the studio with me?" He teased, crossing his arms.

"Well I mean...it's J. Cole." She shrugged.

"Come meet me at the studio when you're done. We'll have a short session." He left before she could respond.

Arriving at the Big Hit building, an hour later, Jen headed right inside the studio to see Yoongi working on the computer.

"What's on the agenda, today?" She dropped down on the couch.

"Heh, you're eager."

"Well, your music infires me." She smirked and raised a brow to tease him. Yoongi rolled his eyes but couldn't help but reveal his gummy smile, chuckling at the inside joke. "Ah ha! Made you smile! You owe me smarties."

"PSSH. No, the fuck I don't..." He grumbled.

"Language!"

"I want you to rap my verse in Tomorrow. And as you advance, rap Namjoon's and Hobi's."

His sudden request caught her off guard as she declared, "Yoongi, you know damn well I can't rap nowhere near like you, Namjoon or Hobi."

"Yeah. I know."

"Then why are you letting me do this?"

"I know you can't rap nowhere near our level. Not yet anyway. You can't rap like us because you have your own rapping style. Just try." He tossed her a notebook and she caught it with ease. He waited for her to look over the lyrics before he put on the instrumental of Tomorrow.

When it was finally the cue to rap, she started shakily, "Gateun nal-"

Before she could go any further, Yoongi shut the music off, mentioning, "Jennie, rap like you know it."

"I-I am!"

"No, you're not. I hear the hesitation already and you're rapping too low. Rap out loud and with emotion, I can hear the monotone. You know this. Don't be uncertain. It's just me and you in here. Do it again."

Starting again, she rapped with more confidence and a steady tone. Not as hard as Yoongi but it was effective.

Gateun nal, gateun dal

"Good. Again."

After replaying the song around ten times for her to rap his verse, they proceed to the next rap.

"Try Namjoon's." Yoongi suggested.

"He's too damn fast!"

"Did I stutter? Try it." He gestured as she sighed.

"Just don't laugh at me."

Waiting for the chorus to end, she got tongue-tied right after stuttering out, "uriga geutorok gidarin naeildo eoneusae." And threw her arms up in the air, giving up. "Hey! You said you wouldn't laugh!" She called him out as he laughed at her struggling.

"We'll get there. You'll be ready for it, one day. Your homework is to practice the three rap verses of Tomorrow. I'll let you know a few days before when our next meet up is. If you do well, you'll get smarties. If not, no smarties."

"Deal! I really appreciate you doing this for me. Thanks for being patient."

"Don't mention it. Now, onto another topic. When are you gonna DJ for me? I have a set right here. Make something. Use the other computer." He pointed out all the equipment.

She exhaled. "You always ask me!"

"Because I'm eager to see what music you can make."

"I dunno when." She shrugged.

"Why are you so nervous to show me?" He stared at her.

She had potential. He wanted to make music with her and in the future, let her work with the rap line. Although she wasn't golden like Jungkook as a maknae, she learned quickly. It wouldn't be long before she spits fire. She had nothing to be afraid of.

"I just don't think it's a big deal, Yoongi. I feel like you'll be disappointed. You're gassing me up for nothing. I'm not a professional like you."

"Don't assume nonsense. You never know what the future may hold for your skills. Heck, maybe we could use it for a concert in a few years."

"Ha, like that'll ever happen." She shook her head. "I mean, I do want to contribute more. Singing is great but I'd like to do stuff behind the scenes."

Yoongi nodded and made a mental note of her statement. "How about this, when you're finally ready to show me, and it better be soon, I'll help you and teach you some tricks."

Smiling at his offer, she nodded in approval. "I'd like that."

"Good, I wasn't taking no for an answer."

"Blah, blah." She rolled her eyes playfully.

-----

A week before Christmas, Jen prepared to get ready to do some last minute holiday shopping with the rest of the Maknae line. During the entire week, they finally put up the tree. Putting the tree up was a hassle. From the members getting tangled up with the lights to difficulties putting decorations around the tree to make it look organized, to Jennie arguing with the Maknae line on who should put up the star until Jin decided to put a photo of Jungkook's derp face on top of the tree, they all had fun and enjoyed a nice nap afterward.

In her room, she waited for the boys to get ready as she scrolled through her Instagram. Her timeline began to blow up as she noticed various fans screenshotting her followers list. Curious, she tapped on one of the photos to see the caption, 'OMG CHANYEOL FOLLOWED AND LIKED ONE OF JENNIE'S PHOTOS!!'

Fan comments consisted of a series of 'OMGs', 'No ways', and about a future EXO and BTS collab.

"No way, there can't be no way." She went to her notifications, scrolling to the bottom to see...

@baekhyunee_exo has now followed you

@real__pcy has now followed you

"B-bae-AHHHHHHHHH!" A high-pitched scream escaped her lips as she fell on the floor, throwing her phone up in the air.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Hobi and Jin barged in with brooms in their hands, while the rest of the members rushed in to see what the commotion was.

Alarmed, Hobi kneeled on the floor to help Jen sit up. "Munchkin! Are you okay?"

"The hell is going on?" Namjoon looked around.

She grabbed onto Hobi's shirt, shaking him back and forth forcefully. "My bias just followed me and another EXO member followed me! LIFE IS GREAT! THIS IS GREAT! I'M DEAD! I'M ALIVE! I CAN DIE HAPPY!"

"I woke up for this?" Yoongi grumbled and headed back to nap, while the rest of the members were relieved it wasn't anything bad going on.

"Don't yell like that, jeesh, it's just a follow back on Instagram." Jimin sighed.

"JUST a follow back? Did you just say it's JUST a follow back? My bias and another EXO member are NOT just a follow back, Jimin." She stared at him blankly.

If looks could kill...

"Uh...I'll be in the car. We're ready to go." He awkwardly left the room.

As soon as they got in the car, Jennie had to create an Instagram video about the events that just occurred.

"So, um...Chanyeol and Baekhyun just followed your bulletproof girl...THIS-IS NOT-A DRILL! I am so happy, thank you! Please don't unfollow me after this video, I promise I'm not crazy!"

"She's lying!" Jimin shouted

"Shut up, Jimin!" She shouted while the boys giggled in the background.

After posting the video, she's flooded with likes and comments. The comment that stood out to her was Taeil's which said,

2taeil2- How come you weren't this excited when I followed you? I'm sad.

JJennie_JW- 2taeil2 You know you'll always have a special place in my heart!! Hehe

2taeil2- Lies...all lies!

Arriving at a local Macy's, the four of them decide to split into two. Jimin and Jungkook walk off, leaving Tae and Jennie. After they were a distance away from them, Jimin couldn't hold back his eager questions.

"So...did you get it!?"

Jungkook felt him nudge him with a cheeky grin on his face. He smiled softly and nodded. "Yeah, I got it."

"Well, where is it?"

"Safe."

"Oh, come on, tell me the details!"

"Sometimes I wonder if I should've told you." The Maknae murmured as they explored the store with their masks on their faces.

"You gotta tell Chim Chim these things. So, how much do you think she's going to freak?"

"Uh...not sure. I just hope she likes it."

Jungkook was nervous about giving his gift to Jennie. He knew how much she wanted this gift and hoped that it was everything she hoped for.

"She will. Don't worry about that." He smiled. "It'll be cute."

Back to Jennie with Tae, they come across the perfume section.

"This place stinks with all those combined perfume smells. That's not good." She covered her nose, walking through the displays of various perfumes.

She spotted Tae checking out the cologne that was over $100. "Ooh, I like this." He checked out one of the Gucci colognes. He stuck out his hand to grab one of them but yelped when Jen smacked his hand.

"Taehyung, you do not need to spend all that money on cologne. And half of this stuff doesn't even smell that good. Spend wisely. Now let's go search somewhere else." She grabbed him by the ear and dragged him away.

"Ow! Ow! Okay! That hurts!" He whined.

Jimin and Jungkook accidentally found themselves in the lingerie section for women. "Ooh, look at all this nice lingerie, what do you think Jungkookie?" Jimin teased as Jungkook coughed and speed walked ahead, feeling awkward.

"Hahaha! That was too easy. Hm...I wonder if a certain someone would look nice in th-"

Grabbing him in a tight headlock, Jungkook applied pressure, ignoring Jimin's strained pleas while tapping out. "What was that? Huh? Huh? Sorry, hyung, I couldn't quite get that. What?"

At the same time, Jennie happily went through the shoe section. "Oh snap, my Nikes!" She checked out the various designs of the shoes. "I dunno which ones I should get. I gotta treat myself."

"No-no-no-no-no-la-la-la-la-la, that's too expensive! You are not spending this much money on shoes." He playfully mocked her for doing the same to him. Suddenly he grabbed her by the ear and dragged her away from the shoes.

"Ow! Hey! That only applies to you! Tae, get off my ear, that hurts! Tae friggin hyung!"

-----

Christmas Day, consisted of Jen helping Jin cook the dinner. After the food was cooked, the members finally opened their gifts. Jen was more of a giver and decided to buy a WII U and more PlayStation games, while the rest of the members randomly picked gifts under the tree, various gifts consisting of snacks, boxers, headphones and cologne.

"You brought the cologne!?" Jen shouted at Tae, staring at the Gucci cologne in Yoongi's hands.

"Hehehe, I told Jimin to pick it up for me." Tae giggled as she playfully rolled her eyes.

"Man...I wanted my Nikes." She murmured.

"Well, I'm happy to announce that your Nikes are right here, milady." Jimin happily presented the box to her. Her eyes lit up as a gasp escaped her lips.

"No way."

"Yes, way."

"Hell yeah! Thank you!" She pulled him in for a tight hug. "Get in here too." She grabbed onto Tae, squeezing them both tightly.

Pulling away, she gestured for Jungkook to come over as she grabbed a small black box from under the tree.

"Merry Christmas! Hope you like it. Consider it an add on to our friendship rings." She beamed

"I wonder what it is." He smiled with anticipation as he opened the box. It was revealed to be a chain small chain necklace with a white bunny, having JK engraved on it. "Wow. For me? It's cute."

"I'm wearing mine. See?" She revealed her necklace which was a brown bunny with JW on it. "I was like, let me buy something bunny related. We can be bunnies in crime or something. I had bunnies on my mind for a while."

"It's amazing...thank you." He pulled her in for a tight hug. "Thanks, Jennie. This really means a lot."

After the presents, they got ready for dinner. As they all sat together, Jen spoke up before they could dig in. "Can we pray for our food first?" She gained the attention of the members. "As a tradition in my house, we usually pray for our food. If it's all right with you guys. It'll be short and sweet."

"Yeah, let's do it." Jin nodded with the rest of the boys.

"Really? Okay. Let's join hands." She grabbed Jin and Jungkook's hands. Closing her eyes, she began to speak, "Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us to be here today to live another day. I'm thrilled to still be here with these seven awesome guys as we rejoice on this special day. Let this food that Jin and I prepared nourish the body and I hope for more precious memories as a member of BTS. Thank you, and amen."

"AMEN!" She heard them shout as she let out a soft giggle at their enthusiasm.

Christmas dinner was filled with laughter and goofiness like usual when they spent time together.

Afterward, Jen watched with amusement as the guys broke into the new WII U, taking random Twitter videos to post on the BTS account.

Meanwhile, Jungkook had broken away from the group to gather up the gift he'd been waiting to give Jennie as he set it on her bed. "Babygirl?"

"Yes?" She answered immediately, looking up to Jungkook by her doorway.

The rest of the members stopped what they were doing as they noticed the new nickname, while Jimin smiled knowingly.

"Can we talk in your room for a sec? I have something for you." He smiled softly.

"Yeah, sure." She got up from the couch.

"What is this baby girl you speak of?" Jin spoke up, narrowing his eyes.

"Heeerrreeee we go..." Yoongi groaned while Hobi giggled.

"This better not be a War of Hormone 2.0!" Jin ranted on. "Is there something we should know!?"

"Jin, relax!" Taehyung responded with a laugh.

"Talk in the living room, not alone in the bedroom! No funny business!" Jin shouted in mother mode.

"Relax, hyung, everything is OK." Jimin tried to calm him down.

"They are teenagers. Hormonal-" Before he could go on, Jimin had covered his mouth as Jen snickered and headed into the bedroom with Jungkook.

Snatching Jimin's hand away from his mouth, Jin shouted, "Leave the door OPEN!" but got ignored as Jungkook shut the door, behind him. "What the-I said to keep the door open!" He stood up but got set back down by Jimin and Tae.

"Oh, that's a big box. What'd you get me?" She sat next to the medium sized red box on the bed, while Jungkook sat on the other side of the box.

"Gotta open it and find out. Merry Christmas." He smiled with anticipation as his heart began to race. Hoping that she liked this gift was the only thought on his mind.

Taking off the top of the box, her right hand instantly covers her mouth, covering the gasp escaping from her lips. She promptly looked up in astonishment while he grinned triumphantly at her reaction. It was adorable to see her eyes light up, like that.

She looked back down at the box to watch the tiny Jack Russell Terrier puppy sleeping soundly before it started to wake up, yawning cutely. The puppy stretched and looked at the two of them with wonder, before cutely barking.

Jungkook picked it up from the box and handed it to her. "You like him?" He asked as it started to lick her face and nuzzle against her.

"I..." She trailed off. She couldn't speak as she held the puppy against her. Overwhelmed with happiness, she began to feel her chest tighten.

"H-hey, don't cry." He whispered softly as he wiped the tears that ran down her face with his thumb. She set the puppy down while it walked around the bed, acting hyper as the smile never left her face. "It's a boy. I named him Ironman." He teased.

"Are you kidding me?" She deadpanned until they both shared a laugh.

"What? I thought it'd be a cool name." He said, proud of the name choice.

"Nah...We should name it Captain America. Now that is a cool name."

"No." He deadpanned as she smirked.

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"Nope."

"Yep."

"Nope."

"Yep."

"Uh, uh."

"Uh huh."

"Uh, uh."

"Uh huh."

"Never in a million years. How dare you?"

"How dare you? Ironman? No. Captain America, Kookie."

"There is no way we are naming him Captain America."

"Uh huh. We'll see about that, Golden Bunny." She challenged.

"We shall Miss Bangtan."

A soft chuckle escaped her lips as she turned her attention back to the puppy. "This is so special. How'd you know I wanted a puppy?"

"Well, you did say that you wanted one on Twitter." He reminded her.

"You remember that?" She stared at him in disbelief.

"Things you say don't just go in one ear and out the other. It sticks." He shrugged. "You don't know how much you're appreciated, do you?" He blurted out before looking down, embarrassed. 'Why did I have to say that? That was too much.' He mentally scolded himself.

Before he could think of something else to say, she pulled him in for a tight hug, wrapping her arms around her neck as he instantly wrapped his arms around her waist. "Thank you, Jungkook. I love this. Best gift ever."

"That makes me very happy to hear you say that. Hey uh, can I...stay in here, tonight?"

"You don't have to ask. So, do you want to stay because of me or the puppy?" She teased.

"Both."

"Both?"

"Yeah. I just want to relax with you and the puppy."

"Okay. Fine by me."

As they both lay down on their sides, facing each other on her bed, petting and playing around with the puppy as it moved around the bed, Jen spoke up. "So, when did you get him?"

"A week after your tweet. I did some research and found a place. Told them to hold it for me after I brought him. Took him to the dorm the day before Christmas. It was a chore hiding him from the others. Only Jimin knew about it."

"You did all of that for me? I dunno how I can repay you for this. This is so sweet of you."

"I like seeing you happy. So just keep smiling for me. That's more than enough."

"You got yourself a deal."

"So, I heard about your discourse."

"What discourse?"

"Shut the fuck up and choke on a dick." He mocked her in a girly voice as she grabbed a pillow and buried her face in embarrassment.

"Oh God...why!?" She whined over his laughs. She wasn't expecting him to say all that in English. He took the pillow from her as she faced him, "I'm a bad influence...let me guess, I was in an article on AllKPOP wasn't I?"

"Mm hm~." He teased. "Miss Bangtan goes at it on Instagram with former group members. Some interesting comments you've written."

"L-look, I was emotional and Angelina wasn't any better, if she's hyped, I'm hyped."

"Hey, I'm not judging you. We all lash out and have our breaking points. To me, it looked like you needed it. Yoongi was laughing as he read your comments. He was so proud. So that's Amity?"

"Yeah."

"That's cold of them to start false rumors. You're nothing like that. And although I haven't met your friend, I'm sure she isn't like that either."

"Hailey and her nonsense..."

"Is she pretty?" He suddenly asked.

Jen let out a sigh. "Yeah...all of them are."

She wasn't going to lie, they were all pretty. She wasn't going to call them ugly when they weren't. The only thing ugly about them was their personalities.

"Well, if you think they're pretty, then you're just as pretty. Most likely even more." He murmured as a smile came across her face. "So, Amity is having a World Tour? They're coming to Korea?"

"Yeah. I'm not thrilled."

"Why is that?" He asked as the puppy began to lay on his chest when he turned on his back with Jennie.

"I just don't feel right. I feel as though Hailey learned Korea to try to get to you guys. I'm worried, honestly."

"Should I keep my guard up?"

"That would be swell, bunny."

"I trust your judgment."

Suddenly, the puppy jumped right on Jen's face, and she shrieked in response to the sudden movement. Jungkook laughed wholeheartedly, as he watched her take the puppy off her face.

"Not funny!" She laughed with him.

His laugh was one of the purest things in the world.

After talking all night about various topics, Jen fell asleep with the puppy snuggled up against her, sleeping in the middle of her and Jungkook. Jungkook briefly watched her sleep with a smile before dozing off himself.

During the night, around 3AM, Jen woke up, feeling colder than usual.

'Who the heck turned the heat off...?' She thought as she turned to see Jungkook sleeping soundly, watching his chest slowly rising up and down.

'You know, Jungkook...I envy how cute and comfortable you look while you sleep. I'm freezing.' She thought as she resisted the urge to run a hand through his disheveled hair. She shook away the sudden thoughts as she felt confused as to why she pondered it in the first place. 'That came out of nowhere...'

Goosebumps were all over her skin from the cold as she contemplated getting another blanket despite being under the covers with Jungkook. Turning to the other side, she saw the puppy sleeping on her other side as she went to pet it gently.

She sighed and laid back down. She didn't feel like getting out of bed. She didn't feel like going through the closet to find a blanket or walking on the cold floor to turn up to heat, in the living room. Her motivation to move was not high. She'll just suffer for a few more hours. She turned her back against Jungkook, shivering again.

At the same time, Jungkook had woken up, feeling her move around, noticing her shivering every now and then.

'Is she cold?' He pondered. After watching her shiver again, his thoughts were answered. 'Should I...?' he looked at the distance between them.

Maybe he could warm her up by spooning. But would she get upset? Take it the wrong way? Negative outcomes weighed against his positive thoughts as he worried about what her reaction might be. He didn't want her to freeze, so after thinking, he went with his gut, draping his arm around her stomach.

Jen felt his warm arm wrap around her waist and pull her back against his chest. His body heat radiated against her as a sigh of contentment escaped her lips. How was he so warm? He was like a personal heater.

Taking her sigh as a good sign, he murmured with his voice still filled with sleep, "Better?"

"Tremendously better."

The Worst Perfect Moment by Shivaun Plozza

Publisher: Peachtree Teen

Release date: 14 May 2024

Genre: young adult magical realism

If you like: The Good Place, sapphic strangers-to-sort-of-rivals-to-friends-to-lovers, teenage coming of age, quirky characters, figuring out what it means to be happy

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5

Synopsis

Tegan Masters is dead.

She’s sixteen and she’s dead and she’s standing in the parking lot of the Marybelle Motor Lodge, the single most depressing motel in all of New Jersey and the place where Tegan spent what she remembers as the worst weekend of her life.

In the front office, she meets Zelda, a cute and sarcastic girl Tegan’s age who is, in fact, an angel (wings and all). According to Zelda, Tegan is officially in heaven, where every person inhabits an exact replica of their happiest memory. For Tegan, Zelda insists, that place is the Marybelle—creepy minigolf course, revolting breakfast buffet, broken TV, and all.

Tegan has a few complaints about this.

As Zelda takes Tegan on a whirlwind tour through Tegan’s past to help her understand what mattered most to her in life, the stakes couldn’t be higher. If Zelda fails to convince Tegan that the Marybelle was the site of Tegan's perfect moment, both girls face eternal consequences too dire to consider. But if she succeeds…they just might get their happily-ever-afterlife.

Content warnings

Death (from a car accident, but it's not described in detail)

Divorce

Grief

Abandonment

Review

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for a review! 😇🪽😵

Ok, wow. Not gonna lie, but this legit moved me, like, I was reading this on the bus trying to hold back tears because I didn't want to cry in public.

There was such a good balance of humour and heart; while some of the characters can be silly, this book is not afraid to confront real issues and lean into the characters' emotional moments. Seriously, this got heavier than I had expected.

I loved how Tegan's narrative arc was handled, like the set-up and her journey with Zelda through her memories leading up to the climax, the pacing and Tegan's emotional journey, everything was so well-executed and felt so realistic. Everything leading up to Tegan's revelation culminates in, well, the Perfect Moment.

Tegan and Zelda's relationship was so sweet and charming, like their dynamic is so fun to read. I loved their banter, which might come across to some as too childish or immature (they call each other stuff like buttface and dickcheese) but I honestly found it so endearing. (Also, I'm in no position to talk; I'm a legal adult and the way I talk IRL is Worse.)

The setting and the world-building reminds me of The Good Place, with the bureaucratic Upper Management, the not-so-perfect afterlife and the cast of quirky characters. But while The Good Place was religiously secular, this afterlife is (surprisingly) Christian-coded, with concepts of Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and capital-G God. Not gonna lie, it kind of bugged me a little to assume that everyone's afterlife would be a Christian one, but as a setting/premise it does work for the story, so I'll let it pass.

All in all, I definitely recommend giving this a read, it will warm your heart and move you to tears and make you laugh. Maybe even all at the same time. 🫶

Sing 1 Commentary and Review Pt. 2

Welcome back to the madness loves!!! Also, I tried to tone down the commentary so I get further in the movie this time (I say while making at ton of random comments at the restaurant. Is this an elaborate plan to distract me from my fic being with my beta reader? Yes! Am I using it for content? Also yes! Enjoy!

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

Eddie is just like me in the last months of school fr fr.

Mood, chicken. Mood.

✨Deja Vu.✨

We get to see Buster's expenses list! He's bought two sandwiches and cookies, but I'm way more interested in where in the world he found printer ink for only $15!!!

Actually, I am a 100% sure that is not how prosthetic eyes work.

Top ten anime moments before disaster (could apply to like 99% of this movie tbh).

(Don't have a screen shot but update: The Lance puntable moments counter is now at 6.)

Ok, Johnny having to jump to reach the door handle is adorable. He's so small. Like it's obvious one of his family members opened it so they can clearly reach that, and yet Johnny's over here channeling his inner bouncy ball to reach.

Friendly reminder that at this point, we have no proof of Johnny's dad disapproving of a music career besides Johnny hiding the flyer. So I'm sticking with my theory that he has no problem with it and never has, Johnny's just terrified of disappointing him (starting strong with the queer allegory here aren't we?) and how his dad sees him changing.

RIP Rosita's house phone. You will be missed.

(PS: If anyone makes or has made a gif of Buster poking his head out of his drawer like a meerkat right before the auditions start, please send it to me, it just is so cute and yet so so goofy.)

His first reaction was to succeeding call Eddie, that's bloody adorable.

ICON. THE ICON HAS LANDED. EVERYONE BOW DOWN TO THE ICON, GUNTER.

OK OK OK, ADORABLE HEADCANON. Some of Rosita's kids have skateboards guys. Like after they meet Johnny, they beg him to teach them tricks and how to skate better and he does. They follow him around the skatepark like duckings.

They are the mother-son duo of the series, just look at them, so cute!

The lesbians are back + a rare sighting of a 13 year old who says "bro" all day.

The face of "I'm gonna become a father figure to a scary teenager wether she agrees to this or not".

Lance puntable moments counter: 8

Writer 1: Hey, which kid should we call the rebel?

Writer 2: I was thinking Johnny.

Writer 1: Oh! You mean the kid who actively told his dad when he was leaving to singing auditions and came back within a reasonable amount of time?

Writer 2: Yeah, that's the one!

But seriously, he doesn't even sneak out. He legit tells his dad when he leaves that he's leaving. He doesn't say the location of where he's going but still, worst rebel of the century. He doesn't even have to sneak out!

Also, Marcus and him are clearly close enough and Marcus trusts Johnny enough for him to leave to go who knows where for hours at a time. They're nice to each other and (besides the singing instead of robbing bit) they seem to communicate with each other really well. Father-son duo of the year everyone.

I completely forgot Rosita was stuck in line behind Mike. The poor thing. Rosita, you have my sympathies.

Who is this and what have the done with the evil mouse man???

Also... Mike puntable moments counter: 9

This is giving me Toddlers & Tiaras flashbacks. 😬

The bestest boy. So awkward, so sweet, such wet cat stumbling over it's own feet energy.

Mike, this is what NOT to do when a teenager is having a panic attack. I feel so bad for Meena here, really, She did not deserve Mike being an absolute tosser in the slightest.

Also... Mike puntable moments counter: 17 (I don't like bullies)

Hat Man!!!

I completely forget that four whole members of the troupe were not first round picks. Johnny, Rosita, Gunter, and Meena all were either picked second, afterwards, or fell into the role eventually. Buster did not originally plan on having Johnny and Meena in the singing competition at all even.

Number 1 supportive boyfriend right there, love him.

Ok, this moment. This is the exact moment where Eddie suggests that Buster and him do something together instead of the theatre. His exact words are "i don't know, maybe we could do something together."

... Look at that face. There is no heterosexual explanation for saying that with that face.

Eddie coming in with the best "my boyfriend's gonna be in jail by the end of this" expression of all time.

Yeah... Marcus, Stan, and Barry definitely know that Johnny wants to be a singer. They definitely know he was going to the theatre. Why you ask? BECAUSE IT WAS ON THE BLOODY NEWS!!!

Lance... what to say here? Oh yeah!

Lance puntable moments counter: 14

Street saxophone players, attention please. DO NOT DO THIS. This is how you get pepper sprayed! 😊

Look at my boys!!! Planning a robbery as a family! Bonding! I'm so proud of them. <3

Also, in the plan they deliberately state they're avoiding the guards entirely. So no, they were never canonically violent until the second movie and that was in self defense. They don't hurt the people they're stealing from. They are genuinely good people and absolutely were non violent offenders.

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

Ok ok, more self restraint with the screenshots next time, I know. Be right back! - <3 Gooseless

Mark of Athena, first reading thoughts:

—Forgot to post this again, who knows how long this has been on my notes.

—First, I loved having Annabeth's pov, I missed her as a central character and I loved the development she had here.

—BRO, they are all TOGETHER NOW AND THEY ARE IN A FLYING SHIP HAVING ADVENTURES. This the perfect setup, I would have read a 10 books series of just this.

—I liked so many diferent povs, at first I thought it may become confusing, but far from it, it was fun and so dinamic. I already love all these characters and getting in their heads throught the book was great.

— PERCY AND ANNABETH FINALLY REUNITED. 😭 It was so cute, 10/10

—The Argo II WAS SO COOL. It kind of reminded me of Legends of Tomorrow and I fricking love that show, I wish this dynamic of the seven on the ship lasted forever, I adore that kind of premise. Even the moments when they just weren´t getting along were interesting.

—I felt a vein popping out of my eye with all the Camp Jupiter hunting them down thing, because it was just a misunderstanding, but I do understand why it happend (a little), and it was just so frustraiting.

—All the interactions with Nemesis, Echo and Narcissus were such a trip, jesus.

—God, I fucking love Leo, not only because he is so funny, but because he is so incredibly smart. Is a diffrent kind of smart then Annabeth, wich I really love, they both bring interesting things to the table and is a delight to read.

—Wich is why Leo feeling so left out and like the "seventh wheel" was much more heartbreaking. He makes concernig comments the whole book, but because is just in his head nobody notices. I dont like where this is going...

—As much as I loved all the adventures, I was so stressed out for Nico the whole time, it was driving me insane.

—GJFHUYREGFEU Every single pov is so interesting, this book was GOLD. This is a masterclass in how to make distinctive narrative voices, it was so good.

—The break between Percy and Jason was actually very interesting. I was afraid it would be reduced to petty jelousy (wich it is a little, but I mean, they are teenagers), but there was some nuace there. Like, I felt like it drew interesting parallels of what makes them so opossite despite being the " "liders" " of their camps. It even drives home what makes the roman demigods and the greek demigods diferent.

—Jason being so serius and even cold, and Percy being as hotheaded as he is. Jason not knowing any other life apart from being a soldier vs Percy rejecting that life every chance he gets. Even the diferent perception they both have of the gods because each know a side of them the other doesn´t.

—Their possesed fight was kind of funny tbh.

—I also love having the chance to explore each characters powers with every obstacle, I feel like it was very well used, I never thought, "well, why didnt they used x power."

—"Please, she thought, wondering if her mom, the goddess of love, could hear her. Don’t let it be Jason’s final breath. If love means anything, don’t take him away" Oh, Piper, honey. These kids are legit breaking my heart.

—I really liked the scene of Annabeth and Percy on the stables, it was so sweet.

—I dont know exactly what it is, but I can tell this is a much more curated, experienced writter. And is absolutely fantastic to get so far into the series because I can tell by now Riordan knows these characters so well. They have so many layers, is specially interesting with Percy and Annabeth because we see them grow so much.

—The scene at the aquarium was very creepy and fun.

—Percy developing a fear of drowning was like, so sad.

—Ok Leo, I love you, but dont need to be a bully, come on.

—Jesus, the whole conflict Annabeth had with her mom in this book made me so sad. The way all the gods just use their children (and have been for generations) gets more unberable with each book, I dont respect any of them, these kids just... still try to make them proud and not think ill of them and its so unfair.

—Even the interaction with Aphrodite, I just kept getting angry. I got bad flashbacks from her praising the other two girls in front of Piper and making those weird comments.

—On this one it hits harder and harder that all this kids want is a future, a good life, and they just never get a chance.

—“You dropped this,” he said, totally poker-faced.

Annabeth threw her arms around him. “I love you!” (I died, actually)

—Was not a fan of Hercules´s aproach. Moving on.

— "Percy blinked. “So your brother is a winged horse. But you’re also my half brother, which means all the flying horses in the world are my... You know what? Let’s forget it.”

He’d learned years ago it was better not to dwell too much on who was related to whom on the godly side of things. After Tyson the Cyclops adopted him as a brother, Percy decided that that was

about as far as he wanted to extend the family." - Percy, I love you.

—Wisdom’s daughter walks alone. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

—The minute Annabeth went on her own I was so nervous, my heart was racing the rest of the book.

—Geez, I wanted to hug her so bad, everything just kept getting worse and worse.

—Gaea is seriusly getting on my nerves.

—There’s too much going on,” he said. “And honestly…before last month, I didn’t even know

when my birthday was. Thalia told me the last time she was at camp.” - That is so fucking sad.

— “What is that?” Jason asked nervously.

Piper slipped her hand into his. “The ghosts are dancing."

Dude! That entire scene of Piper, Percy and Jason and how it ralted with the story of the flood was AMAZING. Easy one of my favorite scenes from the whole saga.

—Rescuing Nico had me so stressed

—"Entertain me, heroes of Olympus." I- Im gonna kill him. I´m gonna kill ALL THE GO-

—Ok, but I liked Percy and Jason coming together and fighting alongside each other.

—Oh my poor Nico, CAN HE GET A BREAKE FOR ONCE

—My girl Annabeth, she is so smart, ahhhhh!

—But Also, WHAT WAS THE NEED TO MAKE HER SUFFER SO MUCH

—Few scenes had me in such a hold and as emotionally invested as the scene when Percy and Annabeth fall to Tartarus. What the Actual Hell. I was speechless for like an hour. The emotion, the tension, the terrible, brilliant moment when everything suddenly conects.

PEAK LITERATURE

— Nemesis wanted him to wreak vengeance on Gaea? Leo would be happy to oblige. He was going to make Gaea sorry she had ever messed with Leo Valdez.

I am filled with dread, and fear, and hype.

I also love Hopper and El. He obviously cares for her, but the way he treats her sometimes is just questionable. I understand it's part of his learning to be more open, but god, that s2 fight was something. He also didn't even apologize after. He waited till the end, and thus, El ran away. In s3, he threatened a 13 year old child with violence, even though he had this talk with Joyce scenes prior to that. It's just too much. I see that he loves El, but he's in no way best dad of the entire show. El is a traumatised child, she needs someone who can regulate their temper better so they don't constantly trigger her ptsd. Like her whole life she was surrounded by violence, she needs someone who understands that. And if he gets to be the father figure for the Byers siblings? Both of those boys are sensitive as well, their dad is violent. Hoppers angry outbursts could potentially be triggering for them as well. (Not to mention Joyce.) Obviously I still love them it's an interesting dynamic but Hopper isn't the amazing dad the fandom makes him out to be. I still hope he grows so he can be emotionally there for the people around him

Ted, on the other hand, seems to not care, but I truly think that's false. Just because he isn't involved with the UD, he still shows up. He's there at the end in s1 talking to the medics to make sure Mike is okay. He wanted to talk to him earlier when Will was found dead, but Karen stopped him. Yes, he makes comments that indicate ignorance, but I don't doubt he doesn't love his kids or that he doesn't care what they are up to. The other parents also have no clue where their kids are for the majority of time, nor seem they to be worried that much. I think his treatment of Holly in s3 shows he loves his kids, like him cuddling her is the reason why Karen stops sleeping with a teenager. So yeah, both Ted and Hopper care in their ways but can't show it properly. I know their behavior is greatly attributed to the 80s idea of what a family man should be, meaning the breadwinner and not seen as weak and emotional. I think neither El or the Wheeler siblings feel comfortable going to their dad for (relationship) advice. Hopper would yell and Ted would redirect it to Karen.

But then we have the Sinclairs, Lucas's father is goals you can clearly tell by the way Lucas handles conflict his dad is amazing. Or Bob, who was patient and kind towards Will and Jonathan. Who made sure that both kids were comfortable. But he was "too boring" I guess, I still stand by the fact that he should have been with Joyce over Hopper.

YES!! okay i agree with you a lot on this so honestly gonna make this as sweet as possible lol cuz i don’t want to keep just repeating what you said. that fight in season 2 is absolutely awful to witness especially because of what he says like you said he didn’t even say sorry to her which i know the UD stuff was happening but also like he should have said sorry and tried more even before all this stuff happened! like el legit had to leave in order for hopper to say even remotely much of anything (also it took him to the point of dying honestly for him to actually apologize). and yes like you said he is in no way the best dad ever! honestly i think el and hopper’s bond is so interesting when you admit this and how hopper does have anger issues which unfortunately strains the dynamic. okay yes yes yes yes!! el has been surrounded by anger all her life and she needs someone who isn’t angry! honestly i know it’s cute to have hopper as this father figure for the boys but like idk i’ve never truly saw that as hopper and the byers kid’s dynamic. and okay but yes exactly what you said about joyce! the byers would get triggered about this all and idk a lot of people kind of just forget about this

honestly ted gets a lot of hate for no reason. especially with what you brought up like he does love his kids and he does try to be there for them. also like he does what he also thinks is best for the kids which unfortunately is to just let them have time and space to feel what they need to. this comes out a lot more worse to people in the fandom and sure it’s flawed but he is no where near this horrible dad that everyone claims he is. YES ABOUT THOSE LAST FEW SENTENCES IN THAT SECOND PARAGRAPH!

yes yes yes this! honestly i’ve always loved joyce and bob way more than hopper and joyce. also good with i loved bob’s dynamics with the boys far more than hopper and the boys. also this is soo funny cuz i swore that this was gonna be short yet it’s not ooooff

Hils Watches Lovely Runner - Ep 2

Bless her she's trying

Cannot relate to being this excited to be back at school 😂

Is this going to be like Back to the Future where she ends up going back to 2022 and her brother is a famous actor instead of having a stressful office job

I would do the same tbh

Ah, I'm guessing he's her old crush from school and the other side of what I'm sure will be a love triangle. He's cute. Love me a bad boy.

Of course the bad boy is the guitarist in a band. LMAO first stan experience.

I mean high school girls aren't well known for their good taste. But come on he may not look like an idol but he's cute

Aww she confessed to him the day before she jumped into her teenage body

Confession: When I was in school I wrote a letter not quiet as poetic as this and gave it to my crush. I would legit be mortified if I had to relive that experience. I'm cringing now just thinking about it and it was nearly 30 years ago

She is not having a good day. Forced to relieve one of her most cringe memories and now rejected by her idol.

I appreciate the romantic gesture of him chasing after bus when she got stuck and couldn't get off but it's full of students so it can't have been going that far before it would have stopped again. They were acting like she was going to wind up in another city

All teenagers are annoying to some degree, especially when you're in your 30s

Oh, that's fun! If she tries to tell him about the future time freezes to stop anyone hearing

Ah, of course bad boy's dad is a cop

Time for some wound tending. No drama is complete without it.

All that time her idol lived opposite her and she had no idea. I'd be losing my mind.

OH! The pervy guy who won't return his rented copy of Basic Instinct is Sunjae's dad. Can't believe I didn't realise that until now

OMG SUNJAE HAD IT THE WHOLE TIME! I love how this flips from angsty to sweet to hilarious very quickly.

Of course she's got PTSD after getting hit by a car. But why are all these cars driving across a pedestrian crossing in the first place?

More emotionally significant umbrellas. Aww they actually met earlier when she mistook him for a package courier.

She's the reason he likes the sweets that she gave him in 2022 and she has no idea! Have I mentioned that I love time travel as a plot device?

Wait has he had a crush on her this whole time? Then all of a sudden (from his perspective) she started acting all weird and following him around. I kind of love this!

LMAO and he grabbed the nearest tape in a panic when she woke up and gave his dad's name. It was Basic Instinct of course. I love this! I have to say this drama isn't predictable at all. It's doing a lot of fun things with what could easily have been a very common tropey story

HE'S BEEN PINING THIS WHOLE TIME! Look how happy he is when she tried to friend him online. He clicked the reject button by accident. I am so delighted.

Ooh that photo just appeared on the table. The future is changing!

Okay, I am fully on board with this now. It's pushing all of my buttons.

absolutely adore all of the ncau and very excited for the rewrite (like legit i enjoy rereading it every couple of months and there are somany banger lines/scenes and cathartic moments and hot damn you write the clones so well and make genuinely amazing scenarios and asshole characters that are fun to love. your fox is one of my favorite characters in general.) but, what character is your favorite to write?

I AM TRYING SO HARD TO GET THE REWRITE OUT I AM TRYING SO HARD I AM TRYING SO HARD

I NEED TO TRY LESS HARD BECAUSE I STRESSED MYSELF OUT ABOUT IT SO MUCH THAT I WROTE A BOBA POV JUST IN SELF-DEFENSE AND

I love all of them. All the POVs are fun. Bly is really stand-out, because he breaks a lot of the rules of writing clones. Both he and Fox are very fun because they're so decidedly abnormal people, but Bly's maximalism and Fox's minimalism are both fun in opposite directions. Mace was really refreshing to write because he's a mature adult, but Depa was based off the AP honors student girls in high school and it was fun adapting that and showcasing a love for characters who don't get as much love. Neyo is fun because he's somehow very normal despite only doing batshit things. Boba is a lot of fun because he's so innocent and cute and yet somehow so demented. Omega is so much fun too, she's so genius and so baby.

Rex's POV wasn't fun to write because it was so unpleasant, but that was its own fun. Similarly, Obi-Wan's POV isn't fun to write because every sentence has a background depressing irony to it, but that's fun in its own way. The POV who is straight up unpleasant to write is Ben. Ben is miserable to write. This is because Ben is a fucking miserable person. He is miserable and mean. I can't even complain, I did this to him, I feel like a neglectful mother.

Thirty is obviously incredibly fun (space communist), as is Blanche (space jpoppie). Everyone's good there's a reason I wrote so much of this.

Every day is a struggle so here is some of the all-new Boba POV story under the cut. I have already written a story with a low-key running thread/joke/theme of Omega being the galaxy's first transgender cisgender person, and it was such an entertaining/interesting idea that I always wanted to do more with it. So for this story I was like Oh Boy It Would Be A Good Idea To Talk About How Queer Children Are Targeted By Fascism!!!! [metaphorical transphobic violence under the cut]

Boba could hear the sobbing from the other side of the door. It was an unfamiliar sound, and when he palmed the door open he was surprised to find a grim Kote already raising his hand to knock. His other hand was on Omega’s shoulder. Omega, who was sobbing hysterically.

It took a ridiculous second to even recognize her. Omega’s thick and wavy hair was a ridiculously distinctive trait: not only dark blonde, but long enough to reach the nape of her neck. She had been growing it out ever since she saw a mother on a holo sitcom with long hair down to her waist, and she was very proud of it. Almost every inch of it was gone.

Her hair had been sheared down to near regulation length, tufted and patchy. Parts of her head were almost bald, and other parts were long enough to awkwardly curl. It seemed as if a razor had attacked it from several awkward angles, uneven and careless. Boba had never seen Omega cry so hard.

Kote gently pushed her inside, leaving Boba to take her and frantically pat her on the back. “Four Batch 1s cornered her in the fresher. Held her down and tried shaving it all off. I chased them off before they could finish. Can you report this to Prime? I have to get back to class.”

Dumbly, Boba said, “Did you beat up four Batch 1s by yourself?” The Batch 1s were almost at apex maturity, and Kote was still a teenager.

Kote just sneered. “They needed four people to attack one little kid. Of course they weren’t tough. Cowards never are.” Kote clapped a hand on Omega’s back, and Boba squeezed her in a tight hug. “Don’t let them see you cry, Omega. I have to go.”

Kote left as quickly as he came. He really must have been running late for class. Boba was left with an armful of an Omega crying so hard that she could barely breathe, and it took several minutes of rubbing her back before he could even get the story out of her.

“They said that they were fixing my defect.” Boba had sat her on the couch and dumped all of his childhood stuffed animals on her lap. She was throttling that ancient fish plushie from Boba’s toddlerhood. It was missing a stone eye, but Omega didn’t seem to notice. “That I was embarrassing all of us with my shameful hair. And - and I said that I didn’t have to wear it regulation, but they didn’t care! They told me that I needed to learn my place, that a real clone wouldn’t brag about being defective, that - that - !”

Boba patted Omega on the arm as supportively as he could. “Did you fight back well?”

“How was I supposed to!” Omega cried. “They’re so big and I’m just a kid! It’s not fair! All I could do was bite them!”

“That’s not nothing,” Boba said encouragingly. “At least you didn’t embarrass yourself.”

Then Omega was wailing again, and Boba was left desperately messaging Dad before doing his own triage by hugging her and patting her on the back. None of it seemed to help.

It felt like forever before Dad finally came home. He looked a little as if Boba had interrupted him in the middle of something important, but he was always doing something important so it was whatever. Boba had given him advance warning, but Dad was still visibly freaked out to see Omega crying. At least her sobbing had died down a little: she was just hiccuping and hitching wet breaths, occasionally taking a sip of water from the cup that Boba shoved at her.

Dad walked in, looking Omega up and down. Omega visibly redoubled her efforts to stop crying. “That’s weird to see. You look like Rex now.”

“Rex is a boy!” Omega yelled, before breaking out into fresh tears. How much water could one clone have in their body?!

But Dad just sighed. He walked over and crouched in front of Omega, waiting for her to compose herself again. The full focus of Dad’s attention on her seemed to jolt her out of her renewed hysterics, and Dad waited until she calmed down again before he spoke.

“What did you expect?” Dad said simply. Omega’s face fell tragically. “Stop crying. You accepted the risk of this happening when you chose to be different. You know full well how favorably your brothers look at clones who are different. Dented beskar gets hammered back into place, Omega.”

“I didn’t choose to be different!” Omega insisted. “I am different! Why should I pretend I’m not?”

“So you don’t get attacked in the fresher. So the other clones don’t ostracize and mock you. There’s a reason why Rex shaves his head. You get to do some of what you want, but you can’t do anything about its repercussions.”

“Galaxy’s not fair,” Boba said sympathetically. Dad said that all the time. Everyone in the room knew it. Maybe Omega knew it better than anyone.

Omega’s jaw clenched, and for the first time she looked angry instead of heartbroken. Dad met her gaze evenly. “They’re punishing me for being a girl. I’m not ‘flaunting a defect’. I’m being me. I’m not like them. I’m not breaking any rules, so they don’t have the right to make me like them.”

“They don’t,” Dad said. “But that didn’t stop them, did it?”

“You could stop them, Dad,” Boba said eagerly. Maybe Omega was powerless, maybe the younger kids just had to put up with the older kids bullying them just because the older kids were stronger and higher ranking - but Dad was above all of that. Dad had the power to make anything happen. “Can’t you tell the clones to back off and let Omega be a girl?”

“I could,” Dad said. Boba brightened immediately, but Omega didn’t. She already knew how he would finish the sentence. “But I won’t. Orders from on high won’t change their minds or make them accept her. They’d just find other ways to put her back into place. You’ll just have to roll with these punches, kid.”

“I wish I was dead,” Omega said. It startled Boba way too much. He’d never heard anyone say that before. “I want to be dead.”

In that moment, Boba had to agree with Dad. If acting like a girl was making Omega so miserable, why couldn’t she act like a boy? Boba knew that Omega was happiest when she was doing girly things, but surely the pain of four boys attacking her in the fresher outweighed any happiness that the girly stuff brought. It seemed like a choice between a medium amount of misery and a lot of misery. Only one option made sense. But it wasn’t the option Omega chose.

For the first time, Dad looked a little sad. He straightened, taking Omega’s hand and gently pulling her off the couch. “Let’s tidy this up. I’ll get my razor.” Omega looked up at him, question clear, and Dad shook his head. “We’ll have to shave the rest. Plenty of you keep it at that length. You should join them.”

“I can’t,” Omega muttered. She looked away, expression screwing up. “You think I haven’t tried…?”

Boba hovered near the doorframe of the fresher, watching Dad sit Omega on the toilet and tuck a cloth around her neck. Boba offered Omega ‘her’ stuffed Tooka - it was Boba’s, but he had munificently given her technical ownership of it - and she clutched it tightly as Dad spoke to her in a low voice.

Boba wanted to know what he was saying, but he had the strange sense that it wasn’t for him.

#ben's pov is gonna be like 100k SOB #and hes gonna be a little jerk the WHOLE TIME #but whose fault is that. really. whose fucking fault.#i didnt mention cody because cody is by far and away the character i put the most effort into writing #which makes him just the most rewarding i think. same with rex ben and obi-wan #anyway sorry for blindsiding everyone with boba i wanted to fucking write rex but #*Screams into hands*#now boba's gonna be long too and SCREAM #my writing #my asks
