OH MY FRICKING GAWD… it’s finally here??? it’s actually here… first of all, before i mf panic about how this is actually the real thing—a real mf finale—a real ending to another series you created with your own hands, efforts and brainpower… i literally want to express my HUUUGEEEE congratulations for tying this journey up with the prettiest ribbon!! ;-; <333 i fr know how much u suffered and how desperately u wanted to deliver the absolute best ending possible for all the people waiting!! the countless nights u actually slaved after running laps in the hospital is respectable and u deserve all mf applaud for this… idk if i’m just biased but this is lowkey.. ever so slightly bittersweet because i feel like this series was the start to the legacy of ~maiverie~ and every time we talk, we’d always refer things to triage!heeseung unknowingly?! LIKE I KNOW for a fact this won’t die out at all, but it do be a little sad to see our precious little bean go now.. so,,, i suppose we just have to anticipate a sequel of them going into university??? where we watch heeseung become the most popular king ever for being good at everything he does??? his bowties turns into ties and his glasses turn into contact lenses???
BUT… MOVING ONTO OUR LAST RAY OF SUNLIGHT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!! <3333
this entire chapter was actually perfect in a sense of “this is exactly how it should’ve ended” and as mentioned, also extremely bittersweet??..?? let’s just declare that ryujin is going to be the worldwide punching bag from now on because the way u portrayed her was LITERALLY SO DAMN REAL… her intentions were so clear and i loved seeing the contrast of our two main protagonists dealing with her in such different ways—their personalities shined in different colours—like u said, miss sunset was all the fiery reds, oranges, pinks and purples while heeseung represents the whole pastel palette?!
i honestly got emotional straight away, like the way u have such a great grasp on the characters u build and ur able to deliver their feelings wrapped in the most purest descriptions is so impressive, it really felt like u adored each character so much… T^T… (hold my tissue…) it was so heartbreaking to read both of them going through this entire roller coaster of emotions but.. HEYYYY?? they deserve one, small, single obstacle before marriage… and their chemistry is also so angelic—like genuinely a match made in heaven?? ALL THEIR DIALOGUES WERE SO MEMORABLE LIKE A PUNCH?? (y/n didn’t punch ryujin but she definitely punched me!!) like… bro.. the way i had to screenshot how fricking cute heeseung was throughout that entire confession??
Tumblr media
HE HAS NO BUSINESS BEING THIS ADORABLE?? this was my favourite dialogue from him because this was the very first time he was ever bold towards y/n?? it just touched me to know that he’s willing to drop it all to slide in a sincere confession for someone he likes?? ladies and gentlemen, there is no man in the world like him…
Tumblr media
AGAIDIEHWSJDH^{*~*?£.€… *be cautious of a rabid woman coming up soon*… this was SO CUTE… so painfully cute that this is where i got most emotional (ur gonna be like… wut… why this out of ALL parts… she’s so weird…) HOWEVER!!! it’s just that a character like him is a one of a kind and to think we won’t be knowing about his whereabouts after this is just…….. there is only pain……. ur gonna get constant harassment in ur mail asking—how’s triage!heeseung and triage!y/n going today!!! are they on dates!!! did they have a second kiss?!? when and where??
GOD…… i can’t believe it’s finally over, mr. rover…..
thank you so much for this—not only is it the softest and purest fanfiction i’ve ever read, but it’s also one of those stories that’ll go down history, at least in my lane it will… u said ‘triage’ isn’t truly my cup of tea, but i literally do genuinely enjoy any genre as long as it!!! holds!!! a secure premise!!! like u and i both can agree we’ve seen many… in fact, too many… interesting stories out there that tickles us in our sleep… so, really, BABY!!! WIFE!!! MY BESTIE!!! thank you for putting in every ounce of ur effort to publish this—not only is ur love carried in the story but there’s an overwhelming number of readers who cherish this story exactly like i do!!
(please excuse me if i made any mistakes cus i’m seriously bed bound at the moment…)
TRIAGE! ┊ a lee heeseung series — FINALE ♡
Tumblr media
you try to teach the nerd how to date.
synopsis: heeseung is not, by any measure, date-able. he’s dorky, he’s nerdy, and he does this weird thing where he snorts loudly every time he laughs. in fact, he loves everything that normal people are allergic to — computer science, collecting rare comic books, and birdwatching on the weekend.
given that you two have obviously nothing in common, you find yourself utterly flabbergasted when you receive a letter in your locker, on which heeseung has written, "hi. will you please teach me how to date?"

chapter five (finale)
word count: 8k | navigation: previous / MASTERLIST warnings: swearing, (verbal) bullying a/n: final chapter; thank you so much for reading this far. sorry this took so long to get to you :(
‎‎‏‏‎ ‎
‘let’s have a little talk, you dweeb.’
heeseung had been backed into a corner.
while he often liked to reserve that idiom for metaphoric effect, he means it quite literally — ryujin and taehyun had literally backed him into a corner of a bedroom with no way out.
it was obvious he had stumbled across something he shouldn’t have. 
ryujin and taehyun kissing? how disturbing.
if it were up to him, he truly wouldn’t have meddled in their business. however, the way they’re sneering at him leads him to believe that they think his actions were intentional. he wants to insist that no part of this was deliberate—that he was honestly just trying to find you—but tense silence circulates the trio and he has no inclination to speak first.
“who the fuck do you think you are?” ryujin punctuates the silence with her malice, making him inwardly wince. her hands find their way to her hips as she openly scowls with disdain. “god, you’re annoying.” 
“i-i should go,” heeseung lowers his head, scratching the nape of his neck. “i didn’t mean to intrude,” he laughs nervously in an attempt to dispel their hostility, “i was just trying to find—”
“no, you should stay.” taehyun suggests, a smirk slithering to his lips. he rolls his head around his neck before sighing contently. “you should stay and play with us.” 
play…?
heeseung physically recoils with horror, stomach twisting with unease. there’s something about taehyun’s predatory stare that flares goosebumps all the way across his arms. he realises that the most wise decision right now is to escape the enclosed space as soon as possible. 
“sorry, i-i don’t want to keep my parents waiting,” he lies, lowering his head. “they’re downstairs.”
the two exchange impish glances.
“well, we won’t be long,” ryujin stifles a laugh before taking a seat on the bed. she folds one leg over the other, leaning back with her arms propped up. “since you were creeping on us, we thought you could exchange the favour and tell us all about your girlfriend.”
“girlfriend?” heeseung blinks. he doesn’t have a girlfr— oh.
miss sunset.
you? his… girlfriend?
as if.
“oh,” heeseung dips his head shyly. “n-no, you’re mistaken. she’s, um… she’s not my girlfriend.”
if he were being honest, he was kind of hoping to change that some day.
“what, so you guys haven’t fucked yet?” ryujin bats her lashes, a playful stare in her eyes.
heeseung’s brows instantly furrow, a frown on his lips. frankly, he was a little bugged by their vulgarity and the tone used to address you. this was the same type of contempt he noticed in other people in his life — like his aunt at her wedding, who pulled him aside and cautioned that ‘girls like that are foxes, heeseung! they’re nothing but trouble.’
it shouldn't matter, because they’re all wrong.
every single one of them. 
they're wrong.
it boggles his mind that people can’t see what he sees.
then again, it can’t be helped that all the best things about you are what can’t be seen. sure, you’re so pretty that sometimes he can’t even meet your eyes properly, but you’re also warmer and kinder than you give yourself credit to be. you must not realise, but he notices the little things you do for him — like the way you clean his glasses when he places them down on the table to sleep; or the way you pretend you’re full so he can finish the rest of your lunch; or the way you scribble encouraging little notes and drawings on his textbooks when you know he has a long night of studying ahead of him. 
it boggles his mind that some people may never have the privilege of peeking behind the curtain to see that you’re warm, and funny, and kind, and caring. you embody everything that his well-fitting nickname suggests. miss sunset — a blaze of colour; an explosion of soft yellows, bright oranges, fierce reds, pearly pinks and vibrant purples. 
you’re a fiery kiss to the sky.
it’s both a shame and an honour that he’s able to keep you to himself. 
“you know she likes you, right?” ryujin smirks, erecting from the bed.
heeseung’s eyes instantly round. “wh-what?”
“yeah,” she slowly slinks toward him. “she told me.”
“r-really?”
“duh. why wouldn’t she? we’re best friends,” ryujin scoffs, arms folded. “and i know her better than anyone. we’ve known each other since we were little kids, you know.” 
heeseung notices that you don’t often talk about your relationship with ryujin and taehyun. you don’t really tell heeseung much about anything from your past, but he would certainly consider your old friendships to be the biggest elephant in the room. he doesn’t doubt that you were all once close friends, but he knows you haven’t been in contact with them for a while now. it’s obvious why, in his opinion — they’re mean-spirited people who enjoy sinking their claws into people and injecting poison.
they’re callous and vicious and hateful. they’re everything that you’re not. 
‘best friends’? he felt insulted for you.
it was like trying to hold a candle to the sun.
“what… what was she like?” heeseung can’t help but ask, his stomach doing a little flip at the thought of you as a child. he knows he should probably leave the room, but the temptation runs too deep — he wants to consume everything about you.
what did your hair look like? what did your laugh sound like? did you prefer playing outside or staying inside? what made you smile during the day and what kept you up at night?
his heart began to thump at the thought of these answers before reluctance settled in.
was it wrong to wonder these many things about you? 
was he allowed to be curious? 
would that truly be okay — given that you were a goddess and he was next to nothing?
“cute,” ryujin replies, head bobbing. “she was cute.” 
aha!
heeseung can’t help but smile profusely. “of course! i knew it,” he mumbles, blushing to himself. of course she was cute; beauty like that must have been obvious even at a young age.
ryujin’s razor-sharp stare remained. she seemed to study heeseung carefully before lowering her gaze. “she was also kind of mean, i guess,” she continued, inspecting her nails nonchalantly. “a bit of a bully.”
taehyun stifled a laugh at this, and they exchanged knowing glances as though they were indulging in an inside joke. “oh, yeah, i remember she once bullied that kid for sitting in her seat.”
bullied?
heeseung frowned, doubtful about their claims. he reminds himself that they’re both the type of people to embellish any story for their own entertainment. “you’re wrong,” he frowns. “she wouldn’t do something like that. sh-she’s not like you. she’s different.”
ryujin’s lips extend into a smile. “how well do you think you know her?”
his frown deepened. “better than you do.” 
the pair instantly burst into cacophonous laughter that seems to poison the air in the room. 
heeseung bites his bottom lip, feeling unease swirling around at the pit of his stomach. 
“really?” ryujin defies him with a raised brow. “you really think you know her that well?”
he nods slowly.
“okay,” she tilts her head, “then where is she right now?”
heeseung’s eyes flicker to the ground. he didn’t know the answer to that question, but that wasn’t indicative of anything. “well, i-i don’t know, but… she’ll be back—”
“obviously, she ditched you. she left you, heeseung, it’s something we used to do a lot. we’d invite two or three suckers to a party, get them drunk as shit, and then make them entertain us for the next few hours.” 
his eyes widened as he fell into momentary silence, forming as many rational justifications as he could. “but… i was the one who asked her to come with me. and… and you just told me that she… she likes me.”
ryujin rolled her eyes. “the only reason yuna invited you was because we thought it’d be funny. plus, don’t get me wrong — i’m sure she likes you, but don’t put any weight on that. it’s like how a person can like a helpless puppy. it’s pity; that’s all it is.”
“th-that doesn’t mean anything.” heeseung felt discomfort sprout inside his chest, branching insidiously in his lungs and up his throat. “that has nothing to do with her! she’s… she’s an angel.”
“really?” ryujin slithered over toward him and placed a hand on his shoulder, clenching it tightly to bring their faces close. “then why’d she tell us about that letter of yours?”
heeseung felt his heart drop to his feet. “wh-what?”
“the letter you left in her locker,” ryujin continued. “what did it say again? something like…” she pretended to brainstorm, tapping her chin with a finger. “oh! right… wasn’t it something like hi, will you please teach me how to date?” ryujin giggled as taehyun joined in snickering from behind.
his breathing quickened. the letter. 
you told him you never told anyone about that. 
did you lie?
maybe they’re bluffing — you wouldn’t do that. and even if you did lie, you would have definitely told heeseung afterward, right?
“the funniest part was the fact that you signed it off like the fucking virgin-loser you are. kind regards, lee heeseu—” they cackled again, this time even louder. they continued to banter with one another by echoing the contents of the letters. 
heeseung felt himself shrink. hot tears burned his eyes as he felt their humiliation pile on and on as though they were determined in hammering him into the ground. 
“oh my god,” ryujin laughed, wiping the tears from her eyes. “gee, thanks for tonight’s entertainment, heeseung,” she chuckles off the rest of her amusement, “i wish i took a photo of the letter or something. so that i could share it around with—”
“no!” heeseung cried as he swallowed the lump in his throat and began to enter a swivet of panic. “d-don’t! i-i—”
“you’re shaking like a leaf!” ryujin pouts, reaching to grab his shoulder before he flinches. “it’s okay. i won’t tell anyone. unlike your girlfriend, i know how to keep secrets,” she whistled. “say, heeseung… i’m keeping a lot of secrets these days, aren’t i?” she brushed his hair with her fingers.
“even yours.”
he stopped dead, chest rising up and down as he attempted to breathe. he tried to clear his tears with rapid blinking, but it only resulted 
“don’t worry. we’ve been nice. we haven’t told her your secret yet,” she winked. 
yet?
“listen,” ryujin’s voice lowers, her finger lifting his chin so that he faces her. “i really don’t want to keep your parents waiting for too long, so i’ll say this: your girlfriend’s not a saint. she’s vicious in her own way. and if you hate us for the things we make you do, then you should hate her, too. why? because she and i are exactly the same — everything we’ve done to you, she’s done to someone else.”
“y-you’re… you’re wrong.” he turned away from her finger.
ryujin hummed once. “well, let’s face the facts.” her lips slowly lifted into a grin. “you’re alone right now, heeseung. she’s not even here. she left you. i saw her get in the car and leave just earlier. go ahead and look outside if you don’t believe me.” 
heeseung’s gaze flickered to the ground.
“but anyway,” ryujin whirls around and exchanges a smile with taehyun. “we gotta go… we wouldn’t want to stay out too late since we have an early morning, right?” she smirks. “we’ll see you tomorrow, heeseung. at the police station.”
“wh-what? why?”
“because someone ratted us out,” taehyun chimes in, eyes rolling. “so we’ll keep your secret so long as you do one more favour for us.”
Tumblr media
you can have your puzzle back. i don't want it anymore.
“you can have your puzzle back.” your little sun says, his voice lowering into a register so low that you almost miss it. “i don’t want it anymore.”
the room remained dark as heeseung’s words hung like ghosts in dead silence.
it was deafening, the way his whisper was the softest sound you’d ever heard. you were holding your breath, fearing a reality in which i don’t want it anymore meant something beyond what you could hear at face value.
“i don’t want your stupid gift,” he croaks, burying his face in his hands, stifling a sob. “j-just… please, just leave me alone.”
finding him sitting in the dark room alone and crying made your heart shatter. it was easy to confront the idea that ryujin or taehyun had hurt him, but you weren’t equipped to face the possibility that it might have been you. the distance he was creating between the two of you allowed your inner antagonisms to fester — your chest tightened with unease, exacerbated by the pressure of fear expanding within you.
“h-heeseung,” you blurted in surprise, your throat so parched that it forced you to swallow and brace yourself for what felt like impending heartbreak. “why…”
you were so stunned that it honestly felt as though time had stopped moving for a moment. you allowed space to pour between the two of you — you let a beat pass, then two, then three, then four, and with each one that scurried by, you grew more and more apprehensive that he wasn’t going to retrace his steps. you thought there was a chance he’d backpedal his words and tell you they’d sprung from his chest in the heat of the moment, but instead, he let you soak in abject misery.
your heart sank. above everything, you were terrified — he was slipping away from you like dust between your fingertips. it wasn’t long before tears followed — they blurred your vision, no matter how many times you’d tried to dismiss them with your hands.
“h-heeseung?” you called his name softly and hoped to peel his fingers away from his face, but he flinched at your touch. in every attempt you make in closing the distance, you find that heeseung draws a line between you; each harsher than the last. he recoils at your touch, shrivels at the sound of your voice, and offers you nothing but a view of his back that shields you away. 
he was cowering from you.
it made you feel ill. sick. like the taste of bile was rising to your mouth and leaving an acidic, ghostly burn in your throat. bit by bit, your resolve was crumbling like a house of cards. 
“tell me what’s wrong,” you begged him, crouching before him on the carpet though he curled away from you. “i promise i’ll fix it, okay? i’ll fix everything.” 
“y-you can’t,” he sniffled.
you felt your throat constrict. “why not?”
“because…” heeseung finally lifted his head, and the moment your eyes locked with his bloodshot ones, it felt as though his fear, hurt, and pain ricocheted back to you tenfold and struck you like a stab to the heart. he sniffled again. “because you lied,” you saw his eyes well with tears again, “and i lied, and—” his voice became smaller. “all we do is lie to each other.”
perhaps this was what you’d always feared — that you were going to be the one to break him.
after all, you had a tendency to do precisely that. you can’t even count the number of times you’d accidentally shattered the dishes in the kitchen that your mother adored so dearly. or the number of bones you’d broken during wild dares from late nights. or the countless number of fractured friendships in your life because you never really struggled with breaking — whether they were dishes, or bones, or promises, or hearts.
was he another?
was heeseung just another one of those things you were always bound to break?
“please leave,” his voice was becoming softer, and softer, and softer, further eclipsed by his cries. you could tell he was struggling to make out his words. you could also tell that he was being honest. 
you’ve never had anyone beg you like this before.
“okay,” you whisper, tears littering the carpet. “i’ll leave.” 
unable to look at him any further, you twist on your heels. you do what you do best — you run. you run down the stairs and out the house and run and run and run, ashamed that this story has unfolded the exact way anyone could have predicted.
he hates you, you may love him, and neither of you are puzzle pieces that fit together. 
perhaps heeseung was right; perhaps you truly are sunrises and sunsets, because alike parallel lines, the two never meet. 
perhaps heeseung never taught you to heal after all. perhaps broken bones and hearts can never properly heal, the same way cuts and grazes may leave permanent scars on our bodies. perhaps your body did what it could to fix what broke, but it only took one gust of wind to retrace old scars and re-break what will always remain broken.
Tumblr media
you’ve never been very good with your emotions.
you constantly misrepresent them. 
you smile when you’re sad, frown when you’re happy, say things you don’t mean and omit the words that you resonate deepest with. 
after the party, you cried like you have never cried before. it was a foreign, almost out-of-body experience. every emotion exploded and pierced through the thin surface they were bubbling beneath. your scathing tears had soaked everything — your eyes, your cheeks, and your pillow late through the night. the worst of it was the heaviness inside your chest that ceased to subside, one so hefty that it was the reason you felt like you were sinking to the bottom of an ocean.
it was only until the next morning that anger, the emotion you consider to be the easiest to wear, brought you the energy to pay a visit to ryujin. you were going to get the answers to all your questions. 
after all, that was what you’d learned over the years — anger is the only emotion that gets you answers.
which is why you began with ruthlessly banging your fist on her front door.
“open the door, ryujin!” you bellow.
bang! bang! bang! 
what could she have possibly said to heeseung?
bang! bang! bang! 
why? why was it that ryujin was so insistent on butting in your life?
bang! bang! bang! 
was this some form of karmic reparation? was the universe simply rescinding what should have never been yours in the first place?
you didn’t know what you were going to do. or say, for that matter. yet here you were, desperately trying to claw your way up to the surface where the sun kisses the water. to hell you were going to let this heaviness make you sink and give ryujin the satisfaction.
with no response on the other end, you began to kick the door now.
bang! bang! bang! 
“i said, open this fucking d—”
it finally swings open. 
“are you fucking nuts?” ryujin shrieks from the other side, face contorted with outrage and disbelief. she glances at the door before openly gaping at you. “what the hell? you’re going to break the fucking do—”
you waste no time in lunging toward her. you shove her with both hands, thrusting her so far behind that she lurches back and stumbles onto the floor. while sprawled on the ground, ryujin instantly snaps her head up at you and scowls. “what the fuck is wro—”
yet again, you don’t give her much time to react. you step toward her, making her scramble back before her back hits the wall. as the distance between the two of you closes, you crouch in front of her and roughly push the side of her head with a finger.
“what, ryujin?” you smirk vindictively. “did that hurt?”
her chest sharply rises heavily when she meets your icy glower. “get out.”
though she attempts to pick herself up from the floor, you harshly grip her shoulder and force her back down. you reach over and tap her cheek condescendingly, your voice now a lowly whisper. 
“how funny,” you scoff, head tilted. “i thought i told you to stay out of my life.”
she grits her teeth. “i said, get out.”
“why should i? you’re the one who keeps insisting on getting involved in my shit.” 
“you’re batshit.” she gapes at you. “is this about that dweeb?”
“his name is heeseung.” you snap at her, bunching the collar of her shirt in your fist. you yank her toward you, your other fist lifted and curled.
ryujin barks out a dry laugh when her eyes flit to the sight of your fist. “you’re going to punch me?” she snickers again in disbelief. the sight of her grin makes your fist tighten under her shirt. anger. you felt your anger simmer at cautionary temperatures and slowly branch up in your neck to your face. 
“what did you do to him?” you grit your teeth, breathing slowly to control your emotions. 
it was difficult, because you felt as though she relished at the sight of your anger. she must have recognised your most familiar emotion and felt as though you had shifted back into becoming your old self. you saw it in the way her lips curled, and the way her brows had lifted, and most notably, in the way her eyes paraded a small, tiny, starry glint that conveyed her amusement.
it made you wonder if she was doing this all intentionally. 
just to get a reaction out of you.
just to get something.
“it wasn’t exactly what we did to him,” she smirked. “it was what he did to himself, really.”
“where’s taehyun?” you reach over and slowly comb your fingers through her hair, before closing your fist and grasping a bundle of her strands, jerking her head backwards. “i want him to see your face all battered up. you know, before i beat the living shit out of him, too.” 
she sneers at you. “why don’t you ask heeseung? i’m sure he’ll know exactly where taehyun is.”
you narrow your eyes at her. “what the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“they’re probably together right now.”
heeseung and taehyun? together?
you scoff. “what?”
she stifles a laugh, and there it is again — that glint. like a tiny star amidst a midnight canvas. you could feel the anger grow like an inferno within you. that glint was pestering you; it was almost begging for you to reach over and extinguish it. you grip her hair harsher, this time yanking her head backward. 
she yelps as you pin her down with a glower. “tell me where.” 
she hisses at the pain of your grip on her hair and narrows her eyes. “police station, obviously,” she spat with a glare.
her eyes met yours, where your confusion must have been evident. those midnight eyes turned with patronising pity. “wow,” she remarked sarcastically. “the idiot still hasn’t told you.”
“ryujin,” you lean toward her and hiss slowly, with the intended effect that each syllable augments your hostility, “say one more thing about him and i’ll bash your skull against the cement.”
“now tell me,” you hiss, “what are they doing at the police station?” though your words appeared to be laced with composed venom, the truth remained that your heart had begun to drum. everything was coming at a surprise — you couldn’t imagine what would ever bring heeseung to a police station, though you could enumerate a thousand reasons for taehyun.
“like i said, heeseung did it to himself.” 
not satisfied with her answer, you yank her hair again and this time she attempts to strike you with her free arm, but you grab her wrist and desist her from doing so. she winces when you pull her hair tighter, prompting her to quickly open her mouth and elaborate. “okay, okay!” she cries. “he was the one who agreed to take the drug test for taehyun!”
your lips drop into a frown. “what?”
“then the police found out, okay?” she seethed. “we needed him to come in and deny everything. happy?”
you stopped in confusion. what the hell was she talking about? as you sifted through the many thoughts that raced in your mind, you finally froze when you began to comprehend the situation.
you remember now. it was that day — the day you’d first met heeseung in the school hallway, when taehyun had set his eyes upon and sunken his claws into his latest victim. 
taehyun was a drug user, and when he was finally caught by the school, he was mandated to perform probationary urine tests. he constantly evaded these tests by intimidating somebody into giving him fake samples. this was common practice, and it just so happened that heeseung was his chosen victim the day you two had first met.
heeseung never told you that.
he never told you that he went through with it.
“i mean, maybe if he’d kept his mouth shut or done a better job at peeing in a fucking cup, things wouldn’t be like this. in saying that, whose fault is it really?” ryujin rambled on, rubbing salt to the wound as your anger multiplied. “it was still fun at least. especially when we got to talk about you.” 
your hand balled into a tighter fist.
“me?” you pin her down with a dark gaze. “what the fuck did you say about me?”
she shrugs smugly. you watched as a sly smile slithered to her lips and her eyes pooled with shiny darkness. “nothing that wasn’t true.”
your heart drops to your feet.
“you know, it’s funny,” ryujin stifles a laugh, “because he denied it at first. said that you were…” she lifts her hands and uses her fingers to show quotation marks, “different.” you felt your anxiety pierce and gush into your stomach. “we laughed in his face. different, my ass. you didn’t tell him, did you? that you’re actually as much of a piece of shit as we are. he even called you an angel, you know that?”
angel.
“so we decided to set the record straight and we told him what he had the right to know.” she giggled. “you didn’t forget, did you?”
you stared.
“the letter,” she reminds you. “he was so embarrassed i think that was when he started to cry.”  
you froze.
the letter.
fuck.
you wanted nothing more than to run to heeseung and clarify the misunderstanding as best that you could. you wanted to talk to him. hold him. apologise and tell him you’d never intentionally hurt him. that it was an accident — that you lied, yes, but you just didn’t want him to feel embarrassed at that time. that it was a lapse in judgement.
but for some reason, something holds you back.
anger.
anger holds you back. 
the thing about anger is that while it may be your most familiar emotion, it is also the most paralysing of them all. and when it’s combined with resentment, it becomes insidious. the reality about anger is that it exists only in the absence of control, a dangerous condition to find yourself in.
nevertheless, you feel that way.
you feel out of control. 
helpless. angry. frustrated.
why? because that glint is still there. the gleaming, ostentatious star in her eyes that flounces around in her own delight. mocking you. 
ryujin is staring at you expectantly, anticipating your reaction.
you know that she’s waiting for you to punch her. to show her you prefer fists over words. to show her you have not changed in the slightest. everything she has done is aimed to get a rise out of you; she doesn’t care about anything else but avenging the fact you had tossed your friendship to the side — that you had tossed her aside. 
in this moment, you realise that no matter how hard you try, you know that ryujin has won. she doesn’t even need to try very hard to show you that you will never be able to change into a better person. your efforts have come to naught. even now, you are held by anger; you want it to control you — even if it means reversing everything heeseung had taught you about not acting upon your impulses; about not fighting fire with fire. 
you wonder how heeseung would react if he found out what you’d done today. that you’d allowed anger to override you and that you had already used your hands on ryujin. 
you pushed her, shoved her to the ground and pulled her hair without a second thought.
after all, you’d proven her right — you are still the same person. 
how would he react? 
these very thoughts loosen your grip on ryujin’s collar.
you slowly retract your hands from her, feeling the heaviness inside your chest gnaw at you. why are you stooping to her level? as you swallow and salvage whatever amount of sense you have left, you shake your head and slowly rise to your feet.
if heeseung saw you now, he’d probably be scared.
he’d probably see them in you.
your sudden withdrawal makes ryujin freeze. she seems taken off guard. she watches you suspiciously as you attempt to compose yourself, noticeably irked by your lack of response. “you’re… not going to hit me?” she hesitates, sitting up slowly. 
“ryujin, you and i are done.” you attempt to stabilise your shaky breaths. for some reason, focusing on heeseung helps your mind from spinning. he’s your anchor and when you use him as your moral compass, he brings the clarity you need. “for real this time.”
“what?” ryujin splutters with disbelief. she pauses, openly gawking. “what the fuck?” she scrambles to her feet and storms over toward you before abruptly shoving you into the door — the impact thunders down your spine and instantly releases a grunt from you, head spinning. 
“hit me!” she taunts you by sneering in your face. “i made your little boy cry. hit me.”
“if he wanted me to, i honestly would,” you spit at her. “you should thank him you’re not bleeding out right now.” 
she yells as you storm away from her house and it occurs to you that there’s really only one person you want to see right now.
you want to tell him that he was right.
you are different from ryujin after all.
and you will do whatever it takes to stray further and further away from being anything remotely similar.
Tumblr media
‘you never know.’ ‘you might wake up one day and find that the sun is gone.’ ‘and then it’s like, poof — no more sunsets.’
heeseung was right.
the day you two had first met, you laughed and called him a loser for taking photos of the sunset. after all, he was attempting to immortalise something that was already a cosmic promise. 
honestly, you didn’t get it.
what was the point of taking a photo of something he could see every day?
you realise now that he was right all along – it really was possible to wake up one day and find the sun gone.
everybody just has a different idea of what the sun is to them. for you, yours disappeared when you realised heeseung was doing whatever it took to avoid you over the weekend.
your texts were left unanswered. 
calls were sent to voicemail.
he was shutting you out.
you tried to visit his house on sunday morning, but his mother faced you with a regretful smile and asked you not to come in. you didn’t know what else you could do because he seemed to close down every avenue you pursued.
you were so eager on monday morning to see him at school. you were an hour and a half early as you roamed everywhere, attempting to control your nerves. you didn’t know whether or not you should have waited at the school entrance, or by his locker, or just outside the classroom door. 
it didn't matter, because he was late. 
you were already halfway through the day when you had almost given up, though you got your first glimpse of him in days when he had finally showed up.
he looked almost as horrible as you did.
the darkness under his eyes had grown. his brown hair was fluffy and in plain disarray compared to how he usually styled it. his eyes were so puffy that it looked like he’d been crying all weekend, the same way you had. you tried to catch his eyes, but he didn’t return your gaze and instead slid into his desk quietly with his shoulders slumped.
there was a pang in your chest. his appearance made guilt expand within you. 
did you do the impossible? did you break the sun and make it rain? 
when class finished, you waited outside the door and stopped him when he tried to leave. it was only then that he finally looked back at you and you felt your heart stop. it took you all the strength to not cry, so you snaked a hand around his wrist and led the way to the school’s court garden. 
“heeseung,” you faced him when you both stopped at a quiet place inside the open garden. his gaze was affixed to the grass beneath his shoes, so you took a deep breath and let the words flow from your chest.
“heeseung, i’m so sorry for lying to you about the letter.” 
he didn’t reply.
it stung to hear silence on the other end because you weren’t used to it. you were used to heeseung’s warmth; his smiles, his laughs, and the bright stars in his eyes. instead, he seemed to have retreated back into a shell of dejection.
you gulped and fiddled with your hands. “i-i should have told you the truth. ryujin saw it, yes, but it wasn’t because i showed her. i-i just… she was there when i found it in my locker. that’s it. it’s not an excuse for lying, but i promise i would never intentionally embarrass you.”
you waited for his response and still found silence. this was when panic slowly crept up inside you. 
“i-i really fucked up when i lied to you. i just didn’t want to embarrass you, and the more time that went on, the weirder it felt to bring it up. but i should have told you the truth. i’m sorry, heeseung.”
there was a pause before he finally lifted his head.
“stop apologising,” he whispered so gently you almost missed it. 
“wh-what?”
“it was here,” he tucked his bottom lip between his teeth and roamed the area with his eyes. “i-i think it was here when you told me to stop apologising to people. you said i said sorry too much.” 
god, you felt relief in your chest, it felt nice to hear his voice again. you were worried he might never talk to you again.
as you briefly considered his answer, you glanced around and recognised the bench you two had sat on when he’d tried to confess to lia. he was right — it was exactly here that you two had your first real conversation. your stomach twisted. he always remembers everything.
“i’m really sorry for ignoring you over the weekend.” heeseung finally returned your stare, and once your eyes had met, you felt your heart squeeze at the sight of misery in his pretty eyes. you hate the sight of him like this. this must be one of the worst things you’ve ever done. you wanted nothing more than for the rain to stop and the clouds to pave way for your sunshine.
“i-i just needed some space,” he continued gently. “and actually… mom thought it was a better idea for her to take my phone, so i didn’t see your texts.”
“oh,” you replied, noticing the distant tone in his voice. “it’s okay, heeseung. i understand.”
“but, um… i did a lot of thinking,” he says, smiling weakly.
you smiled back, though trepidation edged along your nerves. “o-okay.”
his eyes diverted to the side. “i… i wasn’t sad over the weekend because of the letter. i—” you saw his eyes flicker upwards toward the sky, as though he was attempting to contain his tears. “i-i think… i was just upset because…” he bit on his lips as you watched him deliberate over his next words. your heart was beating faster and faster at the possibility this may be the last conversation you ever have with him. it was selfish, but you didn’t know if that would be manageable for you. 
because even if he didn’t need you, you needed him.
“because i didn’t tell you about taehyun,” his lips fell into a sad frown. “thing is, i… i was really embarrassed about it. and… well, i-i…” he took a deep, shaky breath.
you knew he was gathering as much courage as he could to speak with you.
“i just really, really, really hate embarrassing myself in front of the person that i like.”
he finally looked up at you and everything in you stopped. blood felt like the crackling of lightning in your veins. every other sound seemed to dull into a deafening silence.
“to clarify, th-that’s you. y-you’re the person that i like. a lot. i like you really a lot— that... doesn’t make sense,” he winced at himself, eyes shut tightly. “i’m sorry, i… i sound so stupid right now.” he slumped his shoulders. 
“heeseung, i—”
“wait. p-please let me continue,” he looked up at you through his glasses and you fell straight into his deer-like eyes.
“okay,” you whispered. “go on.” 
“i… i just want to be good enough for you,” he finally admitted and you felt everything around you crash. him? good enough for you? he already was; he was more than enough. you were the one struggling to catch up with him. “be someone you can depend on. someone you can trust and be proud of.”
“heeseung,” you step toward him and clasp his hands with yours, forcing him to look back at you. “you’re right. you really do sound stupid.”
“h-huh?” he peered up at you as you saw panic flicker like disco lights in his eyes. “i-i’m sorry, i… i just wanted to come clean and not lie to you anymore. i’m really sorry for pressuring you, i—”
“no,” you shook your head, silencing him immediately. “it’s not because of that.” 
you dropped his hands and slid yours in the spaces under his arms where you could wrap around his waist and embrace him into a tight hug. he instantly froze while you allowed yourself to melt into him, your face in his chest.
“fuck,” you mumbled against his uniform, inhaling the scent of his laundry powder. “i missed you like crazy.” 
his heart was hammering inside his chest and you squeezed yourself tighter, finding solace in the synchronicity of your beat with his. 
“two days and i felt like i was going insane,” you gripped his blazer tightly, “i… i thought you hated me.” 
“hate you? n-no way…” 
a stupidly wide smile stretched across your lips. slowly, you noticed heeseung was beginning to return your embrace. his arms slowly found their way to your back, and once they rested on your body, you allowed yourself to take a proper breath, engraving memories associated with his scent.
“i like you too, dummy,” you mumbled against the fabric. “ceaselessly. probably way more than you like me.”
“you—”
“yes, me.”
“y-you… you really like me? for real?”
when you release him, his bewildered expression makes you instantly erupt into a fit of laughter. he seems to take this as an indication that you’re messing him because of the way lips return into a point.
“are you kidding?” you scoffed playfully, grabbing his face and cradling it with both hands, his soft skin against yours. “you make it ridiculously easy to.”
“a-are you serious?” he pointed to himself, lashes batting innocently. “you really like me? me? heeseung? you like lee heeseung? you know i’m heeseung, right?”
you stare, astounded by his reaction. “you’re crazy.”
“no, i just told you i’m heeseung,” he deadpanned.
idiot. “yes, heeseung. you. i like you like crazy. it’s sickening how much i do.”
heeseung watched you expressionless for a moment before you watched his face explode with sunshine. speckles of gold dust returned to his eyes and twinkled like constellations. his smile swept his face and instantly made your heart thump out your ears. 
“you’re not lying, right? you really like me? and it’s definitely because of my bowties, right?”
you almost wanted to groan aloud and slap yourself in the face, but you stifled down this desire and shook your head instead. sickening, you thought to yourself. his sunshine is so sickeningly sweet.
and if there’s one thing about you — it’s that you have a sweet tooth; and heeseung is a taste you have been dying to have.
“yes. it’s definitely the bowties. they’re basically chick magnets,” you remarked, a smirk forming. “do you know what happens to chick magnets?”
heeseung quickly shook his head. 
you smiled. “they get devoured.”
heeseung’s brows slightly furrowed, his head tilted to the side in what appeared to be confusion. he blinked, not quite understanding your implication.
“in other words, i’m going to kiss you.” 
that, he understood. 
heeseung’s eyes instantly rounded like saucers. “h-huh?”
“i know you heard me,” you took a step toward him, circling your arms around the back of his neck to ring him in close. he blushed at the proximity, and if you were being honest, so did you.
frankly, you were more nervous than you’d thought you would be. this was the fastest and hardest you’d ever felt your heart beat; it almost threatened to leap up through your throat. 
perhaps it was because heeseung was an expert at annihilating everything you thought you knew about yourself. he was great at that: showing you that you were much further from who you thought you were, and close to who you thought you could never be. there were no more first, second, third, and fourth experiences anymore. just a life before him and after him.
when you felt his breath nearing and the heat from his chest, you thought your head spun for a moment.  it felt as though the distance between your lips were simultaneously the closest and farthest distances apart. it wasn’t until he sighed – a release of just the faintest, softest breath — that the sound swept through your chest like a hurricane, and you felt everything within you topple over.
your whole body sank forward into his and you kissed him. you shut your eyes and did what you feared most — you opened up your heart to him and let everything you had within you flow out so that he could feel every inch of your warmth and sincerity. you led the movement first, noticing the way he tried to mimic your movements. he was slow and uncertain at first, until he followed through with what felt right. 
when he began to kiss you back, it felt like fireworks shattered within you. you instantly softened when he looped his arms around your waist and hugged you tightly, because there was no safer feeling than being in his arms.
you knew it.
heeseung is good at everything he tries. 
when the kiss deepened, you thought he tasted like he fell from the clouds and the stars. like stardust and eternity and endlessness. you liked the taste of that. all you’ve ever known are temporary people, the leaving and the waiting and the hoping, so it makes all the more sense when you crumble and melt at the taste of forever and focus on carving this memory onto your soul. 
you couldn’t deny it any further — you were falling in love with him. in fact, you’d fallen down a slippery slope that led you into a pit with no way of crawling yourself out. 
when your lips pull away, you’re both panting for a proper breath. it isn’t until your eyes meet that the world stops moving and something warm ignites like a candle. 
you allowed time to pass you by as your eyes raked every feature of his face; drinking in his beauty, indulging in the rare moment you were able to admire him so closely. you felt bewitched by the way the sunlight gently radiated his features; they shone through the sky and struck him like a spotlight, even in broad daylight. being this close to him brought forward all of his prettiest, most finely drawn features – the mole on the left side of his lips, his long, wispy lashes, and the slight scrunch of his brows. 
you should’ve stopped, but you couldn’t, because he was prettier the longer you stared.
time slowed while you were slipping further and further into an enchanting spell.
falling.
you always hated that — the sensation of falling. being out of control; being helpless. but somehow, with heeseung it felt different — you were falling through time and space and the stars and the sky and everything in between. it was really beautiful. 
you’ve been falling for days and weeks and what felt like lifetime across lifetimes. you fell until it no longer felt like falling, but flying.
“heeseung, you’re really bad at kissing, you know that?” 
you felt so bad when his entire face fell and he looked at you with complete horror. “wh-what?” 
you placed a finger on his lips to keep him from talking. “since you’re so bad, i think you need a few more lessons,” you smiled. “let’s ditch school and go to back to mine. you know, for education’s sake.” you winked.
heeseung tucked his bottom lip between his teeth, smiling shyly. “o-okay.”
fin.

Ajin ch 86 thoughts
Okay, it’s been a little bit! Thoughts and spoilers under the cut! (Warning, this is very long)
Writing this in a word doc because a) I don’t want to risk going on tumblr and b) I don’t want to risk the post getting deleted in the middle  [note from the end: this ended up being four pages long in a Word document, so I’m sorry]
Ahhhh, last time buying the digital magazine ><    Until... if... Sakurai starts publishing something new...
It seems kind of unfair not to have Ajin be the cover feature if it’s ending DX I guess they’re just starting with a new series, though. Is that how that works? (It has a main character with white hair so I might be interested...) It’s at the beginning of the mag.
Okay, yeah, pages 111-175.  Aggghhhh I’ve always put off reading the end of series, but I think this is the first one I’ve been up to date with when it actually ended. Promised Neverland was close.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ooh completely new characters...?????? whoops overshot the starting page by a few ughhhh it’s definitely the last one... I mean we knew that, but still..... OMG NO IT’S IZUMI AND TANAKA ISN’T IT??    jeez woah  I can’t wait to hear other readers’ reactions    [edit: yes this was about clover, and she recorded her reaction, which was beautiful ;u;] also omg they’re at least appearing together
omg Sakurai’s author’s note: “It’s very cold, isn’t it. Everyone, I hope you don’t catch a cold.”       YOU’RE NOT EVEN GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT’S ENDING?
okay, so at least some time skip Tanaka: New identity, who dis Ooh, Izumi called Tanaka “anta” – the rude/familiar version of ‘you’, rather than the polite one. Honestly I don’t remember but it’s probably what she called him previously. And then turns around and called him anata the next page X’D  Okay, I’m glad that not being consistent is okay in Japanese, I always worry/wonder about that ooooh so Tanaka doesn’t have a new identity YET. I wonder how long it’s been?? omg Tosaki prepared it??    Was he thinking that far ahead? Or is he not dead....   ???  okay so he made it ahead of time     oh, and Izumi was the one who asked him for it??? Oh wow, Izumi has yet another change of identity. I wonder if she’s back to (omggg I forget D: her original name... Tainaka [hah]) Also another great shot emphasizing their height difference X’) lmaoooo I always love when there manages to be some humor oh, they’re only about three years apart! I wonder if that helps pin down the timeline at all??
Aw, Izumi still respects Tosaki lmao  “I’m going home.” “You really have places to be?”  Oh I guess that wasn’t quite it- she really was wondering if he was had a living location... so he has been kinda on the run ><    [Sakurai. Sakurai, happy ending. There is, right? Right?]
Oh dude I really didn’t think we’d get any resolution on that ship and like, idk if this counts as resolution but it sure looks like it does right now okay I’m really sorry but part of me is like ///we’re using so many of the remaining pages on this///  although oh I guess it’s only been 10 pages... it feels like so many since the chapters have been so short lately...
heyyyyy  I mean we kinda knew the U.S. ajin would be back or else what was the point of introducing them Ogura not being dead at the end of the series is extremely impressive (also hopefully Kai :prayer hands:  as in I think he survived) so Ogura didn’t tell them he was coming back huh ... with the crew??? :eyes emoji: lmao AND they thought he was dead, I’m cackling oh okay so they had heard he wasn’t dead the close up of Jim’s face reminds of Kai somehow I guess this manga isn’t so long (and the U.S. ajin left enough of an impression) that at least we’re not like WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE “I’ll kill you!!” “Go ahead!!”  HA Winnn I think the people in this series need to get their idea of ‘fun’ checked I don’t really understand what he says in the bubble after that... I’ll have to check the English did he like, metaphorically die because he’s out of FKs? I’m not up on my cigarette brands enough to know if that’s an FK or not... I think it’s what the brand turned into...? oh no what’s this omg    is it gonna be Kai? Are they all gonna be in there? Kotobuki??   also this is already super sad that not everyone got out of jail free... unless they did and I’ll see... but also it’s realistic so all for the best I guess?  i have no idea OH HA I thought it was the juvenile detention center but it’s Takahashi !  o_o not entirely sure I understand what Takahashi says to the guard either at least everyone’s having... fun??? KAI KAI KAI    gahhhh this looks exactly like how ch 69 started and agh they’re both in juvie but ahhhhh they’re together??         I’m already scared to read and actually find out –o- oh wait they have dates to get out!  and they said plural ‘we’ “That was fast”  I feel like that panel represents what this chapter means to me somehow lmao they just want them to be not their problem anymore... that really wraps it up nicely, hilariously, and realistically I’m glad I’m not translating this because there are really a couple lines where I don’t completely understand them “something happened that day”  um, yeah WOW I did NOT think we were going to get an answer to whether Kai was an ajin now or not, but I feel like that definitively answers that question?????     also that’s terribly funny HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW KEI REVIVED HIM??       -punches a wall-  Kai’s whole personality is  ‘I don’t really remember that happening’  >_____________________________> Kei... gave Kai a reason to live... because he almost died...?      I still kinda have faith in this wrapping up well but GOD Kai is not a character to invest all your emotion into, laughs cryingly Kotobuki: “You literally never make any sense, man.” oh no “ano natsu” GAH
I just realized that this almost certainly means Kai and Kou never met. There isn’t enough keysmashing in the world to express my desire to throw my laptop at a wall right now
In no way shape or form did I ever expect to get closure on Akiyama, even on him getting out of the barrel
Manabe definitely stole whatever it is he’s holding but it was probably some kind of personal effects...?  [my powers of prediction suck most of the time] he really looks beat up now ;u; Izukyū-Shimoda... Win, that’s not where you traveled, is it?  Maybe I saw it on the Sunday NHK travel program... but it’s also the end of the train line and has ferries going out into the ocean islands.  Is he getting away, or going home.......? or to Hirasawa or something...?
well that was an extremely abrupt shift are they really shooting Satou up into space they’re not using him as a test subject are they that sounds like an even more awful idea than I ever could have come up with okay... oh jeez can we please please not have Satou be Captain America you just KNOW he’s going to make trouble again, ,, , , ,!!
oh jeez Eriko! I didn’t expect to see her but it’s nice! it’s really sinking in that that’s all the closure we’re going to get on Kai isn’t it Eriko tsundere as if that needed confirmed okay cool, so she’s out of the hospital (for now)
It does seem appropriate? Likely? That Kei didn’t go home. WE BETTER SEE KOU THIS CHAPTER oh, it’s fall   (or winter? Izumi said it was cold...) oh phew
Sakurai said RIP KeiKai shippers I guess....  but they still influenced each other so that’s still shippable even though they’re not together?  sigh not everything is so straightforward and I guess it’s good it reflects that
Kei looks happy enough was Kei working a blue collar job with Kou or something? That’s 100% unexpected Kou adorable omg what is his new name gonna be Also ;-; so they’ve giving ajin rights but everyone’s still staying undercover...? or Kou isn’t I guess, that’s sweet oh wow we admit Tosaki’s great     I guess last chapter’s statement that they found his remains must have settled whether he’s alive or not ‘iroiro atta na’  YOU THINK    also pretty sure that’s Kai’s line from the drama CD what’s with that Kei face??? OMG PERF       also that is scarily close to what I wrote in a fic, but also pretty much to be expected crap I guess at least Tanaka and Izumi are with each other? KAI’S MOON JACKET   WITH THE SMILIE       we really messed up characterizing Kai as the sun haha he’s out he’s out he’s out is he going to meet someone literally zooming out on everyone (like at the end of last chapter too) is kinda messing with me Like they’re still around and doing stuff but we aren’t (don’t get to) watch them anymore Kou saying ‘let’s all meet again’... my heart is warm ;0; LMAO
we can at least rest assured that everyone stayed in character

Clone Wars          Escape from Kadavo
Well this is certainly a      scene change and one that doesn’t really make sense,
   I mean I thought it was a Camp of Holding for slaves
     Where they got transported to different places on the island to do     slave labor, per         hap        -s
   Now there’s apparently a lava pit under it,
            How?
  That
    -doesn’t make any sense
    Also wtf,
   Coal, metal
Since when was   refinery really this place’s MO      (Like this is really starting to feel like they got the        Mandalorian           And           This        Set         -ting        s       Switch           ed,)
      Not to say they can’t be a     coal/mining industry,  
      Just, that the setting should    reflect it,
     From we saw there was nothing to indicate this was anything but        an ar       chai          c      Soc-either
     With no flues        Or fu    -mes
     To indicate   that they were burn        Ing combustibles,
   Honestly some kind of stalactites   mine,
     Or someplace where they       dig for      “valuables,”            -like      prized st-          one for         Jew           elery-          Would          make         more        sense-       -        Anyway, I’m getting.      way too        focus        -ed          on          the        se-          tt         -        Ing-      - Again Rex is    just straight up chilling,     This is      n’t       his first rodeo with abusers,
  Ok, seriously what was up with the    Wil       -h         el          m,?
     (Like I don’t honestly see anything          steep enough to fall off)
   You could say      it was a whip but we haven’t seen any        Of       That,      Ye      t-
  I don’t get the    screaming-
  Also that   dude just attacked him out of nowhere,
  Like   could we have gone    establishment of that?
   Like,
  What was even his ber-zerk        butt-        on       there?
   Dude was doing his job
  Like if it was a faster thing you kind of have to establish that before hand      -        Also then the environment, the ma      jor      ity,       Would be working at a   breakneck speed,      With a sense of anxiety,       In the       air,
    Then,     the whip,
  He-     was?
  (Like that was just        plain - pointless
     Not even an emotional reaction
     Like that told us absolutely nothing about the setting      and character
    The mate didn’t even have a reaction
    It’s one random guy that just decided to hit      someone else-
   Like that’s not even calculated never mind       systematic,
    Also I like how Rex like yeah      I wouldn’t know anything about that,        feck’in             Jedi             -
      Also       “Effect?”
      Not really more like 
     “ Dave’s having a real rough day and I really don’t want to talk to              (In that               state)
          Like they didn’t wince.
         There was no antici             pation-
          No                  anxiety,
            Like no signs of this is had a           permanent          psychologically            damaging              affect
(Note all toxic behavior is           harmful,               The difference here is             Between                The intensity of the        in-dentation,
            It can get pretty       bad
            And enabling        tox can have serious effects                 (Pretty                   bad)
              (Requiring a lot more time   to undo)
               From;            Dave is really an    asshole,
                 To                           I am really an    asshole,
                  To                    The world is really an   asshole (And Dave is the       savior-)
   (Apologies to anyone who’s chosen name is          Dave or similar vernacular,               It’s not out of any Mala-    cian-              Just the first identi          fication I could think of,
          And tox-    ic logic is really not something you wanna enable,
         Again what the Frick?
(This is really not an   or-ganic way to      introduce        your       rules
Like, “oh yeah    speech is for-bidden,       Have a nice        day,”
 Like      you   think   dude-
Like you were pretty damn path     -etic     abu       ser-        (s)         -    (Sla       vers)       Wow,
   There was no emotions or anything     -be      cause the set up was so poor,
  W-        h      -a         t
    Again the emotion    is non existence,
  Also what the fuck     happened to Rex over there?     -      
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When did he      go down?
 (Like don’t    get me wrong   I saw a flash in the corner?)
  But why       him?
   [also did the scenery just completely changed because he was on the far end of Ken-        Obi with something in between
      Some thing they were       shoveling the stuff on?
     That’s just       gone in this shot]
  [Also,           From a narra-         tive,     standpoint wouldn’t it have made more sense and been a more engaging concept,          If the guy had threat          -ene             d-            The clone          in Obi- wan’s              stead,             Seeing as of the     republic’s version of slavery,
      Rex pos          s-             ib          ly
     Reflec-         ting on the          (Other           Species?)
And    contrasted with them,
   On how much    Obi-Wan views him as a possession,
   (Or his reaction to the people under him getting hot          ,and why)
   Allo-      wing for more heart, 
     “I’m            sorry,”
        “No              Wors              e-               Than               The            Kamino               -ins,”
       Rex’s         Sub             Cat;
        Seeing the people he was trained (and order-ed) to protect              Harm                 -ed                   -                    Much like the people (under him) were harmed during the Kamooin.   s-
  Groom          -ing,                  ?]
      Any      -way,  
    Again,     and what was the emotion?       -         M-aster
  Rex must be like,         Kar-           ma
     If he’s   not,
    [Never mind      he isn’t asleep      just one frame     made it look weird?]
   Ai-       gh -t
  Oh yeah seriously check up on that one guy instead of you know the person under the command,
    Also;       
Tumblr media
 What The fuck?
    IS THAT GOOGLY EYES?
    What the feck,
     What is with that       expression-
     What is with that              facial-
   (Seriously someone tell me what      emotions this is supposed to por-     tray!
    What?
    Also yeah 
  they completely waltz.       -ed     past the ab-        us         -er.        Be-         Ing        -         Con-          fron         ted-              by         the       Con-        Seq-        Uen        Ce        (s)          Of       their      actions,
  It’s not pointed out that Obi-Wan totally caused this by (not)-    listen-ing,        To dude’s        initiative      to stay out of it
(Or, what he did to Cody        Rex,       and basically         all the clones,)
(And what could’ve been a good moral about negative effects of “Pos-       itive  over-       invo        lv           e-       Ment-            )
   so I am slightly big mad
         Not com-   -pletely
          But I’m      get-ting          th-ere
   Drinking         my        slightly       bitter       ju-ice-
   Gett    -ing         pr-etty          salty
     Which is odd since I normally don’t criticize      aesthetic differences
              Like                    This-       -
   The problem is it isn’t the aesthetic       that I have a problem with,        (You want to have a Obi-Wan show more compassion to the slave of similar generation then to Rex?
    (That’s per-fect-ly fine and could even show how he values his job and  Mission over someone he is actually wound-        ed-)
     However that’s not it-
        (It doesn’t             even do that)
   My problem with it is that it shows no        emotion
   No emphasis
   No moral
   It’s - empty               -          Watching this scene,     there is absolutely nothing I get out of it,
       Also wow that was a        quick turnaround,
Like seriously     it generally takes longer      for that kind of behavior to be indented,
  This is literally the only Jedi       he’s seen be there
       One time
         This is barely scraping        logic,          And            even             then,                not              really            requiring-              pre-knowledge                  of the emotions               and general plot               (before                       hand)
   I know that I should feel bad for the        slave because         slav-ery is a bad thing           And any real person would be          pretty upset it/             Suffer for the toxic environment,
         Note; it’s not from the               medium
         I didn’t gain that                 knowledge             from the medium
(In which the chara-       cters      actions and emotions,         Make me        conclude,       “oh wow,         slavery is a real         bad thing!”
   No the characters are wooden puppets          with no emotion,
          Going from;                Point a to point B
      Nothing to connect them              (No preamble)
         No emotions
         No motive(s)
       ‘why is Obi-Wan doing what he’s doing?’
         ‘I don’t know’
                    (And I honestly don’t think the wr-     iters did either)
       And no damn interest
        Barely scraping        logic..
   ‘Why is Obi-wan      doing what he’s doing,’
     ‘Because he has the rescue the slaves,’
    ‘ why does he have to rescue the slaves,?’
      ‘ because you have to rescue slaves,’
        It’s literally circular
   Rely- ing completely on the cookie   cu-    tter,
    Resulting in it being as flat as a cookie when      rolled over by a rolling pin,
         Where                It             should;                Be;
    “ why does Obi-Wan want to rescue the slaves?”
        “Because of his dedication to his moral compass/ because of his dedication to his generation/ non-      clone- ena         blers,/      (Whatever        you want           to put            there)
           (Hey that was almost emotion from   ,Rex)
         (We’re      2:29      Min      Ut        es        In,        And I’m already        salty about the episode refusal to be         fun,
     -
   That’s nice        exposition      *Palpatine*.       Sidious,
     Tra-        dition           (S);
    Mill-
  That’s literally all I      -heard-
      -(I assume they’re saying             “millions,”)
         Which would actually be neat if we got to see some you know human soldiers on the Darkside to counterbalance the whole do you know clone troopers, contrasting the dark side’ s more ethical but none the less toxic practices,
    To the light side’s-          Gen Break-
      De-       fiance?
   (I think you mean that other Zygerian’s death because we have literally not seen the queen act even remotely rebellious,
   Yeah she      con-     templates possibly free-        ing them,
   But we haven’t seen her openly communicate with either of these 2 to inform them
   And she still wants to keep     Anakin,
  So she at least     has one Jedi,
   With the others possibly be blamed on a       -prison break-
      And literally nothing that we’ve seen       com-municating the concept of open - rebel-      lion
   Or any of the connection between      her    and the separatist,
   Again seriously        how am I     supposed to feel about that             (Also the one person that gives even the slightest bit of emotion and it’s the villain,)
    Like I’m surprise’d       Dooku’s surprised by that
   (Er-)
    O-k
   Whe-lp 
   (Also, now there         are flues).           (Don’t recall        seeing them                last time,)
        Or just sticks with gold          on them
 (I am very        con-        fused,)
This seems pretty different
And totally safe
  (Also wasn’t the castle       blue?)
  But I’m not against it because it could work with the       symbolism of wild,       Or just.          Wor      -k                 (I know I’m being way too hop-   - eful but I try,
      Re-        hash-
     Easy-
   So why is there no other emotion 
   And why do you look like a         caveman,
    (Eyebrows    constantly furr-        Ow-        ed)
    Also what was with the      pro-nunciation and        emotion?
    Bare,
   Also literally no     one else is paying attention to that guy?        ?
‘ he also doesn’t   cause me to have any emotions’
  Like seriously I know that it’s a cat person but you still have to show some sentient emotion here
   If there’s no emotion,        there’s no risk,
   (Part of   sent- ience)
   Att-        end,
   Again that’s not the cha-    llenge I think they were trying to make it out to be;              (Un-accountabili-          ty)    Aka         What it would work best as;
          Remix;
    “ I’ll would never turn away from a challenge,” Anakin said snarkily,
      The queen se-           duct              iv             el-              y
          Taking his light saber,                -                that works better;
           -                   Ser-iously                       -                       Um-                       No,  
(Last time someone fall from a height that      high, they died,)
   (You have to play by        your       own      rules,             )
    Wha-
    Also again wh        -at-
   Sky -walker
  When          ?-
   -
   Would be nice if you ever         feckin showed it,
       (Seriously the concept of Obi-Wan having to come to terms at least temporary that his Over-involvement has      hurt people is an interesting concept,”
     Also bullshit      that you know that
      (Pretty)
   (You’re all enabled and you haven’t spent any time around     Obi-Wan)
   (That’s a stupid plan            and the animation really doesn’t help,)
       Zy-ger
       Perm     -     R-       i-,
Oh yeah so no reserves,     about using the term,             “master”      After this     schism            ?            -         Y-eah           -         How?           -           W-at
 [The emotions are off the roof and I have no idea 
    with the scale of escalation
   W-at]
   Lesh          -       Li- fe
    You did-            n’t?             -              Emo            tion-
        ?
      Wh-at?
      Who        called-        the       guards?
   Seriously if this is such a constantly abusive (tox) relationship than how do they not know,
     (Unless the previous guards got killed and these          are the         newbies,)
    Because you don’t act like it all don’t have any of the characteristics generally associated with constantly rein-forc       -ed toxicity,         Show-       ed no emotion including     (anxiety and anticipation)         In that previous           fight,
 As well as no negative    con-    seq-    uen      ce          s for your behavior             -               Even now your voice is just     “ oh I’m     dyi-ng-            -,’.                 .        
Tumblr media
Meep,
 [Something        happened 
   not a Tumblr refresh,
       Gist;
  There’s absolutely no emotion in the scene and the fact that she just dies after that being the threat is just kind of cheap,
  [and the fact that she had absolutely no expression            (Or emotion)     during that entire fight                  Not showing any of the general signs             -               Just no)
    And that expression is a weird way way to end
   The scene.       not the movie that still going,          (Un-fortunate-         ly)
   Uh, why             Off to you obviously evil factory,       land,”
    Kick,
   Hey     isn’t it that minor antagonist    that hasn’t showed up since the last episode?       . . .       Why?         . . .       And he included       the clone        why?
    (Oh yeah I want the      Jedi Knight         Obi-Wan          Kenobi,          And especially the to my knowledge           (default)             clone.
       -  
       And Rex who is honestly a lot more intimidating,
  K-i
  [Again this is supposed really be about.     Ken-obi but I’m really focusing on     Rex,]
    Wh-        at-        -
   How?!
    They were on a        bug?
    I-
   Ok-
  Sorry my memory     gave out for a moment at the whole     Anakin durp face thing         -       -
 W-h
  W-
Wood
   Again, how is he supposed to do that?
    -       Ter-         -        I-l
   Sl-av          es
   So Ahsoka goes to rescue the slaves while An-a      kin,    stays here and carves a hole,
   En-ough
   No emotion!
   Oh,     I thought he meant         Ah         -soka         -          Oh so yeah let’s bring a warship into what seems to have been         intended as a stealth mission,
      Screw                    Fitt              Ing                Re                Action-
And-
   W-
      .
How   did that change the fact that they have the button that can kill all the    slaves,
    (It didn’t)
Obi-won just apparently stopped giving a       fr-ick         -
  Ray-
   Well then they were impossible to   take out,
 F-a         -           S-l
   But only the         Tyger-ian        (Apologies for any misspelling          I mean Ahsoka’s            kind,)
      “He           -at,”
        “Cut,”
         Ge-n-
         Rex did more than Obi-wan,
          Also yeah     completely forgot about that,
        Also he said               kill,
         [Not further         im-prison,”         ]
       Rex had some      rage-
      Also you’d think that be Obi-Wan       considering how much he’s gotten       ,screwed with         This entire          ,time              -           Wh,at 
      Wh            -y              -
          -
Tumblr media
Wh        -y          -     H-ere         -               How is Rex still fighting      guys?         -       Also thanks a lot Obi-Wan      you useless      piece of shit,
   [Again, would         n’t it make           sense?            .)
      W-ell
      -           You just came into a door        just hop them - over-                                -                             Lan      d-
                      Wait,                            How did you just get in, there                     though,
                     .                        Co-                    vert                          -                            ?
O-Kay,     new character,
 W-h
 -
(Also oh no they gave      plo another fleet  
      Great      )
     Ser-iously,   what     where are these guys coming from?        ,     You’ve literally been allowed this dude to heck around the entire time while Rex did all the hard work
La-me,
 Also seriously where was all that                    -  ,coming from-                     -                Wh    at-
Where   was the   emotion?       -      Hey that had no meaning, symbolism      or emotion behind it -       whatsoever,
    I
    ?
       A-i
         -            W-h              -             -           -            Whelp, was completely boring
    Covenants of a good,                  fun story;  
       - Set;  Excessive in instances that don’t directly affect the story’s           up,    cohesivity
       -Tone; Is appropriate
       -Emotions; And appropriate, and consistent and manage to keep a consistent tone,
             (Un-nessary,                        Typically switch-ed for a        more logical tone,                        In works of                      non-fiction,
                  Though may be in both,                        So long as note                        is given,)
        This            film            (Movie      -      Gets absolutely none of it right except the basics for a         good story
      It’s        co -         hesive-          But damn           boring         and empty,
Story         -      Re-write.          -            (I needed something fun after watching that       boring documentary,)
     So let’s       get into it,            -                   (May          feature            episode             -overlap)
   Obi-Wan emerges from the carrier,              With R           -ex,
    (Obi-Wan possibly sub- con-ciously           mov              -ing                  In              Fron                 -t                        Of                    Rex-)
         [Or              Cody]

              Unfortunately somethings went ar-ray and instead of              Cody being the back up plan; he got taken with him
               The minor antagonist                                   -               quickly cuts the chatter                                 -                                     By having the guard                               (S-                         bring Cody forward, introducing him as                                                           Obi-Wan’s                                                               Slave
           Giving a veiled threat of                “ would be a shame if something happened to such a                    ,pretty specimen,”
                  Obi-Wan getting   def-ensive,
                      The atag,      Com   menting,       “ Pretty protective,           Of your toy,            Aren’t              You,”
      Before         having           them thrown            somewhere,
         Next time,        we see them they’re getting e-           scor-            ted-             for gem            Min-            Ing,

      (Under-stand               what is going inside their            head,)
         But for now            I’ll stick           with           the example            given by the show         which is no flashbacks,     The      guard        making        it clear what will happen
Shock-     -Ing-
  The clone       (Eith          er)           Ha-ving       a bad reaction         to this,
     Knee       jerkingly      reaching            out,

                                                  Obi-Wan can’t do anything without hurting Cody                                                       Cody can’t do anything without hurting                                                                         the slaves                                                                               -                                                                              Most of their part is                                                                               contrasting                                                                            the condition,
Most of the     action is with      Ahsoka,        Who talks down that  dweeb         (Maybe someone near-er          to her age)                     And they go break      Obi-Wan out so he can back up, Anakin
    In the Dooku fight,
               The most consistent and                       clear char-                        -acter                          Being                              Q                             -ueen,                              Being a     slaver-
   If         it’s         Ana-       Kin,
          Anakin having to begrudgingly put up with this        slaver’s nonsense
         Be-grudgingly
      - Her talking about how life is slavery     and him just not...
          Then                  Dooku                 Shows                      Up,
   (The whole transition between the mine scene and the Anakin- slaver scene,        Being a cut from the sparks in a mine           To the jewel on her finger              With extra focus       being put on the jewels,
        Possibly all done with all of them              Zy-              gar-ian                (Or of all        the planets that         she’s taking people from-  
      Zygarian            Heir               loom)
          A black stone          (in the middle of her chest)               By a pendant                 (Generally                   implied to be by                 Count Dooku)
    Toxic        court-ing           implied,
              Count Dooku                   announces                a surprise visit,
               The Queen is pleased                    but nervous                       (Hands                         behind -back)
                  “I-”
              Putting        a wine glass down behind it,
                     Dooku is immediately aggressive
        The queen            offering                Anakin as a consolation prize
       As the youngest and newest to the-ir possible              rank,
        Dook-u snark                  Ing,
          Dooku threaten                -ing  to kill
          The queen having issue with that whole main characterization being the collector of rare things
          (Possibly a reflect-                Ion  about the no speaking rule)
             More likely Dooku dismissing her con-           cerns just saying that he can always get her a new one,
            “The Queen possibly wincing at a raised hand                  - if we want to go for indications of                  physical tox-’

        “He treats me well”
        Focus on the necklace and pendent to             - contrast with the choking necklace-
          Possibly a poison               Sub-line
                -                     If you want                    to go there,                       -                    But focusing on Ahsoka,              they broke those guys out,
                 Ahsoka finding a heartbroken                         Jedi,                       Explaining that their res       -pect     ive  clone friend,        Has given up on them
   Ahsoka finding that person,
   Who manages to explain that he can’t        move either-
    To be cut off by the guards      who has really had enough of         every-      thing-
   Decided - screw it if pain isn’t going to make you stop and then might as well put them in a life or death situation,
    Add-ing time on the clock         (Or at least a new var-         iable-)
   Ahsoka possibly     does a whole speech thing          (Since seriously         we’ve seen none of her involvement or even care about         her own         spe-cies)          Via dem            on-          Strat           Ion-
      (Very likely leading to a            riot situation,)
     As they didn’t plan on the           Tagroatians (?)             Rebell              ing due to                crush                  -ed                 spirits,
     That happens                  -           Those two re-         unite and go to fi-ght                Dooku
        (I never.       really cared for the        Zy-            ger-             Ian           queen,)
         If she lives in then,    she’s grateful for them driving off Dooku,          Allows them to get off with the slaves,
      (Necklace might have information            might not,)
   *Honestly I felt it made more sense for        Anakin to be the one in the mine;             The Zy-          garian queen, and Obi         -Wan hav-          ing boomer ban             -ter,              With Obi-Wan a lot more           aware of that stuff,               (Show-ing               worldliness       by identifying the stones)             While Anakin compares       the circumstance to the one that he used to live in,              And the one he enabled Rex living in,           While Ahsoka,    could team up with a          Zy-ger-Ian round              her age,               Possibly some conversations about           enabling-           May-be Ahsoka talking about getting a clone         command of her own-            (If we want the clone commanders to be a constantly          featured theme                here)               Boomer                 Bait,               Busting Anakin out of the            mine,                Obi-Wan getting hidden behind a             cur-tain,                     And going to heck over Dooku,                   (Slaves recovered-)
           Both the Zy-                Gar-                  Ian-                    (And a flirtatious                promise to return                      By                       Obi-wan, )                       [contrast                        Mandalorian]                    Gets                         Free-                        Dom-                        -                         End-                         -

@heyitssmiller​ newchapternewchapternewchapter
Black, you’re going to make us late
said like an old married couple
“Alright, alright. Coming. Here.” He handed Remus the cup of tea after he’d locked up the apartment and waited for him to take a sip expectantly, all eager gray eyes and puppy-like enthusiasm. Remus let that smile he was holding back slip through the cracks as he brought the cup to his lips. He took a sip, keeping his face carefully neutral.
this section like this paragraph and the next 2 - 3. THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOUR WRITING, I CAN’T NOT READ WITHOUT GRINNING
“Hmm?” He demanded, causing Remus to laugh. “What does hmm mean?”
“It means your tea is shit but I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.”
not me making heart eyes at the screen nope
“Please don’t drink anymore of this, holy shit.” Sirius took the lid off and dumped the contents into a nearby trashcan as they walked quickly in order to escape the bitterly cold morning.
I would advise not to dump liquids into the trash can, but we don't wanna kill the plants do we?
“That’s pretty hard to do when it’s a hot liquid. I’m kind of impressed.”
I want to attempt this now. I want Remus Lupin to be proud of me pls
“Well, I didn’t get my morning tea.” Remus replied, holding the door open for Sirius
sassy remus snarky remus my favourite remus
They hadn’t even shrugged off their coats before Logan was approaching them, a stiff expression on his face.
“We need to talk.”
nonono what what? hnnn are we making leo suffer through this whole story or smth?
Logan didn’t even answer, he just started walking
quiet Logan is the most concerning logan
“I’m requesting a transfer.”
Remus blinked, surprised at the suddenness of the statement. “I’m sorry, what?”
“Is this about that kiss you planted on O’Hara?” Sirius asked with a teasing grin. Logan’s expression shifted from blank to pained in half a second
1) Lo Lo Lo baby noooo
2) frick off sirius
Logan squeezed his eyes shut and exhaled sharply through nose. He seemed more worried about leaving his partners exposed than his transfer being denied. A thought made its way to the forefront of Remus’ mind, making him consider a different angle to why Logan was so upset.
ever loving protective lo
The Snakes were proven to be brutal and merciless and not afraid to start fights. Or finish them. Logan’s partners had never experienced something like that, and there was no way they’d be prepared if one of their missions went south.
what the fuck miller. crY
Leo laughed softly. “Alright there, Finn?” He blinked. “What year is it?”
I love finn
Logan couldn’t help but think he was beautiful even without a lot of rest. His hair was all disheveled, eyes big and sleepy, and voice all low and rough. It would take a hell of a lot to make Finn O’Hara not beautiful.
pining
But first: sleep.
yes sleep first always (i say as im planning on staying but for...more hours ew math)
Make my wish come true, baby all I want for Christmas is you!
Even the Christmas music was mocking him now. That was just perfect. Now if they added the word two to the end of that lyric, it would be spot-on.
mean music
A dark, cold room with only two beds, Logan noticed after he switched on the light.
ohmygodtherewasonlyonetwobeds
I’m just thinking about the unlucky one who has to sleep alone :(
How had this become his life?
The universe loves you, deal with it
“How are my sleeves still too short?”
SLEEVES ARE TALL PEOPLE WORST ENEMIES ack
ALSO LOGAN I JUST.. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
“Fight me.” Logan said heatedly, turning to glare at Finn. He stopped short and his gaze turned soft as he watched the redhead adjusting his tie in the mirror, all gorgeous lines and focused face. His tongue stuck out slightly as he tightened the knot of his tie and tried to straighten it.
It was still crooked.
SAY IT WITH ME, PIN-ING
“Your tie’s still crooked.” He said, reaching up to tug at the article of clothing.
Idk whether to yell or say awwwwwwwwwwwww
since the last op.
i’ve just realized op meant operation smh
But Finn was a conman. He literally fooled people for a living. Who was to say that Logan wasn’t just the next mark on a long list?
finn if you fuck with their emotions istg—
Finn sucked in a quick breath beside him. “Oh, Nutty, no.”
this made me smiLE
Finn closed the distance between him and Leo and reached up to ruffle his hair. Leo attempted to swat his hand away with an offended noise. “Harzy, do you know how long it took me to get my hair to look like that?”
Finn: I just wanted to touch his hair okay?
“She taught me how to dance by having me stand on her feet, so I actually learned how to follow before I learned to lead.”
im love. im love im love im love
Finn just pulled him closer, tilting his head up slightly to look at those soft eyes. “Try me, Knut.”
rgjhrflkuhko;iyh
Singing off-key was something Finn never thought he would find endearing, but – well. This was Leo Knut. Pretty much everything he did was endearing
miller aaaaah
Logan moved his gaze away to look at Leo, who was dancing with Regulus. They were pressed closely together, talking quietly. Leo looked completely in his element, which surprised Logan just a little. The normal, jittery movements of a pickpocket were replaced with the graceful, assured motions of a practiced dancer. He made it look as easy as breathing.
wait aw reggie and leo dancing because yayay canon friends change my mind
“Nice grab. I almost didn’t catch it.”
no. damn it reg
“Don’t play dumb. Just give it back and tell me who you’re working for. I promise I won’t kill you, but – well. I’m a Snake, and I do have a reputation to withhold.”
REGULUS, NO
Regulus froze, shoulders tensing. After a long stretch of silence he whispered, voice pained, “He’s alive?”
Remus looked over at the man in question as they listened in and watched his face absolutely crumble. “Reg.”
SAIJFDKHSD;F
June was great – nice, beautiful, whip-smart, and way too good to be messing around with people like the Snakes.
june june june june
A tall, broad man with cold eyes and a feral smile looked back at them
Grayback, it’s grayback isn’t it? fuck you
Sirius wasn’t even listening in anymore as sat next to Remus, forcefully prying Remus’ hand away from where it was gripping his shoulder too tightly and lacing their fingers together while Remus struggled to breathe.
I hate Grayback
Who knew a hug could be so complicated?
I mean they are though. I had my personal space so violated yesterday because my friends kept hugging me and they know I hate hugs unless i initiate them like a weirdo and i didn’t know what to dooo
“Finn, did you just say y’all?” Logan couldn’t see him, but he could hear the delighted smile in Leo’s voice.
Miller is rubbing us on all of us and i love it
The night only got worse when he looked over to the newcomer to face eerie, yellow eyes.
he remind me of a basilisk. Didn’t I name him tinkerbell? Im never going to see tinkerbell normally again, scary lil fairy

Anonymous said: I read ch8 last night and this weighed heavily on my mind all day like why is jk such a hoe? Like how could he just sleep with Kiri just like that. I think these children are very confuzzled with their feelings. After he slept with Kiri, did he rush to y/n bc he knew this was the end of their “relationship”? One last passionate banger goodbye 😟 my 💔 broken heart
Anonymous said: I ain’t even sad. I’m full on rage mode. WHO TF GAVE JK THE AUDACITY , THE ABSOLUTE BRAWN TO STICK HIS DICK IN KIRI AND THEN , NOT EVEN A FULL DAY LATER ( cuz yk that would be farrr too gracious ) WITHOUT A WARNING , WITHOUT A FRICKING GOOD MORNING EVEN , GOES TO FUCK OC AND THINKS THAT’S OKAY???? Good to know OC and whatever his relationship was with her was worth less than a nut😒
Anonymous said: i’m actually sad… like wow. i really expected him to go back, i really did. but even though i knew it’d happen, it still hurt, y’know? i think that made it worse; knowing that he’d go back to her in the end… shit’s fucked up, really. great job writing it. i could literally feel the emotion from this one.
Anonymous said: Bitchin ch 8…..oh wow the smut was so nice and fluffy but wtf JJK messed up big time. Honestly I don’t think he deserves oc after this. She deserves someone who isn’t so unsure of his feelings that it takes getting back together with and sleeping with someone else to realise it. If he really liked her, he wouldn’t have slept with Kiri.

⭐️ rant about anything u've been thinking about boo
for  each    “    ⭐️    ”    i  get,  i’ll  write  a  headcanon  about  our  muses.    –    open. 
i’m definitely making some of these up as i go, so brace yourself
natasha has largely forgotten the first time she met pierre on her name day, but she’ll never admit it. to be fair, she was a kid, but it still embarrasses her that she literally can’t remember meeting who she has romantically loved most in her life. 
the two never talk about pierre’s time with hélène. from the little that pierre says, natasha understands that their relationship was less that ideal. she considers her death a shame & a sad thing because she has forgiven the kuragins by the time that pierre proposes to her, but natasha has no problem completely ignoring pierre’s marriage to her because, though natasha to a lesser extent, the two understand that she was manipulative. so not talking about hélène and pierre’s marriage to her is just an unspoke rule in the rostov-bezukhov house.
fuck tolstoy, i don’t think that natasha would be so overbearing on pierre when it comes to him traveling and speaking to other women. natasha has insecurities, some of them have to do with her relationship, but she’s not going to project that on pierre so intensely. if she’s jealous of a specific person, which is the most likely situation where she would get a lil bossy, then she’s so much more likely to have a typical ‘don’t you see how she looks at you?’ type of thing or, even more likely, just straight up complain about that person to pierre. if she’s feeling seriously paranoid she’s probably going to tell him. the two have a very strong understanding of each other and the dynamics of their relationship. the both of them knew a time where their lives could have gone very bad for them because of terrible relationships; neither are going to ruin such a happy one. so, no, natasha’s not forcing pierre to not even talk to other women. that’s such a dumb take on what adult women think like & how healthy relationship is supposed to look like.
these two don’t really have fights, but when they do, they don’t last long. like i said, they were both in bad relationships, they want this to work & also they just like talking to each other?? it also helps that they both live miles and miles away from natasha’s family a lot of their moscuvite friends, so it’s kind of them against the petersburgers for the beginning of their relationships. but they do have little disputes here and there because they are both full of ideas and express their every thought, so obviously there’s going to be disagreements. they can usually forget about them quickly enough. it makes natasha a little uncomfortable to do so, but the two are big on genuinely apologizing to each other too. sometimes good things come over 
natasha was dying to have a boy to name after her brother. not that she loves the girls any less, or that she was any less excited to have them, but she would literally force pierre to pray for a boy until they got one (though never in front of the girls or anything). the day that petya was born ofc pierre was in the room to announce the gender (we love a progressive couple) nd the two literally cried bc nat finally had a way to honor her lil brother. i mean they cried with all the kids bc they’re two of the most emotional people they know but it was a different kind of cry with petya.
i was gonna straight up do ten of these bc i love headcanoning more than i love anything else but. i figured that would be a bit long. so here’s the last one. aside from being a literal actual married couple, these two are genuinely friends. even if they never got married they would be friends. especially before they had four fricking kids in five years, so in, let’s say, the first year of their marriage they did a lot of stuff to just spend time together doing stuff that wasn’t necessarily couple-y. natasha picked up a lot of what she calls pierre’s ‘offical philosophy’ that he picked up from earlier enlightenment and other such philosophers and share a lot of her own personal philosophy (not such flowerly language but a lot of similarities). they go into the pesant villages semi-regularly because when it’s just the two of them, it’s easy to see that they have way too much and have no idea what to do with it. natasha’s more social than pierre at soirees but the two always find themselves together in some far off room, half gossiping about the silliness of some other attendants and half complaining about something someone else said. they drink lots of tea together. they go on long walks around the estates. natasha’s quite good at riding, singing, and dancing and convinces pierre to do all three with her. pierre introduces her to his extensive book collection, beats her at every card game he ropes her into, and has stupid drinking competitions with her even though they both know it is physically impossible for her to win over him. they’re devastated when the other one is sad, they’re elated when the other is happy. their relationship is a lot more than ‘our significant others are dead, let’s get married’ or even ‘we’re both lonely, let’s be together’. natasha and pierre have both always wanted normal, domestic lives even if they went on to do grand things in life. these two have given each other another chance at a normal life and they accept it happily.

59:  The Continuing Adventures of Dave and Roxy, as well as the concerns assailing them.
Tumblr media
Yay, the Charleston!   (Boo the fact that if Jake’s targeted by a sniper, Dave can’t so easily react by slowing down time and tackling him out of the way, or whatever!)
Tumblr media
***sagenods, despite never having had anything like his own experience, myself***
Tumblr media
It’s good to see that in quantifiable terms, there. Also good to see Dave’s awkward insecurity on the matter never faded away during those recognition stages. It makes it at least 1000% funnier. Ask Colonel Sassacre.
Tumblr media
HA!   Also:  I love to see that paranoia in action, ramping up the comedy value even more and legitimizing my previous statement that this was funny, which some people would consider incredibly rude, probably! It is also interesting to think of the fact that the 30-70% enumeration suggests he goes back and forth as far as which of the two sexes he is apparently considering legitimate “targets” of his interest (troll biology/sexuality didn’t cease to be probably quite different from human reproductive systems, or anything, and Calliope/cherubs in general may very well be hermaphroditic either in a simultaneous or sequential manner, so I obviously have to recognize them here).  Obviously, there’s also the possibility he’s just not thinking of such other sexes due to is human upbringing on earth, were intersex members of society are relatively rare, and thus the idea that there are only two sexes tends to widely be embraced by (most, but increasingly not all) members of the Western society/civilization he dwelt in. I don’t blame him for his upbringing: everyone brings their own baggage into their later life.
Tumblr media
Yeah... the Stralondes bring some interesting genetic factors to the table. I am not sure how much that actually directly influences things. Part of the issue is probably Bro’s impact on his life, which exposed Dave to a great deal of sexual material and almost undeniably stunted his growth in weird ways.   (Note: I do not suggest that his apparent self-labeled bisexuality is a result of his growth being stunted, regardless of the fact that one’s early life does indeed have an impact on one’s later identity; rather, I am merely suggesting that Bro’s influences, while dramatically increasing his capacity for survival in SBURB, and thus technically being instrumental to everything that followed, gave him psychological issues which everyone must admit made him struggle quite a bit over the years.   It may be likely that he would have developed the same sexual dispositions regardless of the scars Bro inflicted on him [both emotional and physical], but we can never truly know, for Time is weird: issues are entangled.)
Tumblr media
Dirk, you named yourself after a Platonic work!   How can you not understand how great and important relationships which reach to the point of bonds between souls and transcend the physicality of sexual relations can be?!?!?!
GAH, I just... sometimes, you really can’t expect reasonable thoughts from this guy, can you?
On the other hand, let’s just all take a moment to celebrate the irony of “... even my harshest critics would never accuse me of such cruelty” from Dirk Strider. Best. Fricking. bundle of words that ever emerged from his mouth, probably.
Tumblr media
I would argue that even without the opposition, displays of gender are by no means culturally vestigial in the same way that fashion generally is not. It’s a direct reflection of the soul, projected outward.  (Like a person’s hat, or shirt. [Dirk having a hat on his shirt was not just a reflection of the fact that he was “kid bro,” or whatever, but was actually an early suggestion of his Heart aspect.]) Obviously, this is limited by the resources, imagination, and environment/occupation of the individual involved, and there are in fact numerous things which are more important for a person in reality, but that doesn’t mean that it’s something to be dismissed like that altogether.
Tumblr media
***cough projected future dramatic irony, cough***   Also ironic insofar as I am not 100% sure he actually cares about Roxy’s identity/gender issues so much as he might find them annoying and boring to be dragged through. Somewhat ironic+hilarious for a fellow Heart player to find this kind of thing unbearable, if so.   Maybe it’s just the Prince in him.
Tumblr media
It is good of you to be concerned for her well-being, I suppose. Considering it is your own identity that is at issue, here, I would suggest you hold a little more weight, but regardless, this is good.  As for the matter of your transformation and dissatisfaction with your hair as it is now:  I suppose Dave’s step by step relation of his own journey as made quite an impression on you.   Hopefully, you do not feel jealous, but rather, patiently continue to contemplate your own path and, as Alt!Calliope suggests you might think, head toward a more potent and firm+real understanding of your own identity+self.  It is okay to be uncertain and questioning, for now.  I’m sure the shakiness of first steps will give way to confidence naturally in due time. These things are not easy, obviously, but reaching out to someone who’s had similar struggles is a good choice: it will likely make things easier, especially since he’s someone you can dependably put your trust in, despite his flippant, awkward attitude in general. (Also: on a more abstract note, it is interesting to see Roxy ascribing meaninglessness to her hair choice, and expressing lack of understanding on her identity issues. Very tight writing, on Hussie’s part, making the kids reflect their aspects and struggle so keenly with things relating to them.)
Tumblr media
Given the fact that Cherubs naturally have very violent sex and spend eons before their first (and only?) sexual encounter, that’s not really much of an insult, if “virgin” should ever be considered one to begin with.  Pompous is definitely more accurate and applicable, though. Also:  Hooray, actually saying things, and getting the size of his text back again! (I am not actually really cheering for Dirk so much as I am finding it interesting for the sake of the ongoing conflict acting as an undercurrent to the storytelling, right now. It’s truly fascinating to see two narrators fighting amongst themselves like this! )
Tumblr media
Everything about this (especially Alt!Calliope’s confidence and her “’human tanties’” line) is incredibly amusing. I love it.
Tumblr media
Lil Cal might beg to differ. But that is a complicated tangent which does not deal with this version of Dirk directly.     (Preemptive Edit:  Also funny because of the fact that Doc Scratch is literally a walking, talking puppet with a Dirk inside.)
Tumblr media
Yes, justifying toying with your friends because you know them and have investment in their lives therefore is indeed very logical, reasonable, and highly rational of you to do. Thank you for this brilliant insight into the human condition.
Tumblr media
Oh, so this is now a reference to the Charles Whitman shootings at the University of Texas?   That is a very interesting and curious choice to portray Dirk’s derangement with, especially considering the earlier statement about Dirk knowing solitude in a similar manner to Alt!Calliope’s own knowledge of it.    (Almost appropriate, considering she basically destroyed the fabric of Paradox Space to kill her brother in cold blood [the way revenge and Eternity are best served], but I guess this is a digression~)
Tumblr media
I wonder if he really intends this, or if it is in fact a ruse in order to time things perfectly such that he can in fact shoot Alt!Calliope in Jade’s body without her initially expecting it. Particularly since, if I am thinking of the correct gun, it actually shoots portals that allow for ridiculously long range shots that would normally be impossible.
Tumblr media
Wow, that is cold, Alt!Calliope, throwing Rose under the bus like that.   Also:  I suddenly have “ Do the impossible, see the invisible. Row! Row! Fight the power! Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable. Row! Row! Fight the power!” playing in my head, as if this were a flash animation. That thought process really puts things in perspective, if this is supposed to be  (at least to him) a tale of Dirk fighting against causality and the will of Paradox Space to make things become irrelevant and to fade out of perception.
Tumblr media
Guaranteed to blow [somebody’s] mind.
Tumblr media
She warned you about---
Tumblr media
History repeating itself.
Tumblr media
Such anime. Such wonders.  Man, this is really fricking interesting, seeing Dirk and Calliope actually going at it on a twinned physical and metaphysical battlefield!   It’s like we’re finally being shown a cherub predomination contest in action!    (I wonder if Alt!Calliope will eventually fall into caliginous attraction for him. This would be quite amusing.)
Tumblr media
Wow, that was probably a bad move taken at an inopportune time. The question is: Is she forced to make that by laws of narrative relevance, or is it a purposeful decision on her part to spitefully turn away from him, despite the likely imminent consequences. On the other hand: This could be a very powerful and shrewd tactic on her part to recruit Dave to serve her purposes. Given his presence at the event, he could either intercept Dirk (I almost called him Bro-- gah!) or save Jake, if led properly. If she is particularly spiteful, she could use him as a sacrificial piece and have him take the bullet instead of Jake, which could be very, very painful to Dirk.
Tumblr media
Huh. Despite Terezi’s comment about onions not making people cry, Trolls are inherently averse to them in the same way that dogs are to chocolate, huh? Also, people are Ogres, and Homestuck is Shrek. This is definitely the unadulterated truth. Additionally:   Pffft.  It seems that the idea that the Green Sun Black Hole’s presence making Roxy’s own void less effective for everyone might be true!   Or, alternatively, Dave just knows enough to make the guess. Or both, possibly.
Tumblr media
Pffft. She’s oblivious to her own inscrutability!   Perfect. XD That said: YES!   HECK YES!  HECK FRICKING YES, ROXY SHADES!!!   :’D (Oh, and shades are a symbol of the Void [not just because they keep out light, but because they block the eyes, which are symbolic of Light and Heart, but more importantly for this, Light], the same way that alcohol and oceans are. Somewhat surprising that she didn’t have a pair of them already, at this point, if we’re being totally honest.)
Tumblr media
Yeah, if it was not obvious that the method of Alt!Calliope informing Dave of this threat would be subtle like that rather than a direct statement/command, then I don’t know what is obvious to you guys.
Tumblr media
This, psychologically+sociologically, makes a great deal of sense, considering humans seem to have a natural propensity for feeling distasteful towards some sort of “other,” regardless of what it is. Thus, there’s a double-edged sword involved, quite logically, and somewhat saddeningly, to the otherwise open and accepting mentality that humans seem to have socially adopted in their new environment.       At the same time, the way that this is delivered is horribly hilarious (tragi-comically so), and I’m barely sorry that I find that to be the case.
Tumblr media
Yes. Yes, it was cute, indeed. Sad to see it go, somewhat.  But his question is incredibly silly and very awkward, just as is natural for Dave. Thus, I find it acceptable and in-character, not insulting or narrow-minded, as some might.
Tumblr media
***laughs alongside them, for indeed, this has all become quite funny, despite the fact that it is a “distaction [sic.]” from the seriousness at hand***
Tumblr media
FRICKING...  DANGIT, ALT!CALLIOPE, IF THIS TURNS OUT THE WAY YOUR WORDING IMPLIES IT WILL, I SWEAR...!!!
Tumblr media
Okay, so you seem to have just used it as a convenient threat, and worded things such that he had time that he didn’t necessarily clearly have in order to basically take two actions instead of one.   (His jump to save Karkat could have cost Jake his life, or Dave his.)
Tumblr media
As I was going to say, but was prevented from doing due to a belief that it would be better to include these lines too:   His statement about her being right about many things clearly, while initially making it seem that he was indeed going to take the shot, heroic death chance or no, almost certainly ensures that this is actually a subterfuge on his part (similar to but a reversal of Caliborn replacing the hats on the king and queen: in this case, he is switching his OPPONENT’s chess pieces’ appearances, making her think he’s targeting one, but is actually going for the other, more crucial target [as should be obvious, given the thematic similarities between Dirk and Caliborn, and the tendency of events in Paradox Space to rhyme with one another]).
Tumblr media
Check.
Tumblr media
Indeed, indeed. Alt!Calliope senses a similar pattern, quite sensibly, which is fitting with her role as Muse, and her understanding of it. Unfortunately, while she picked up correctly one one such similarity/resonance, it seems she’s missed some others.   I do appreciate this comment on immortality, though. I had not actually thought about that, and this makes his potential actions somewhat more benign. (Not that it would render his later actions as such.)
Tumblr media
I really fricking appreciate the “no guts no glory” comment coming right before this extremely gutsy reveal on his part. By saying as such, he could easily be ruining his plan, but he just goes ahead and says it anyway. XD BEAUTIFUL writing, right there.
Tumblr media
It was less intelligent of him to narrate his own action so long-windedly, but completely in-character.  It gave her the time required to interject like that. That said: I bet he’s going to fire via voice command or something like that.
Tumblr media
And THAT, my friends, is why you don’t underestimate your opponents, and you should not announce your belief in the futility of their actions to their faces like a stereotypical villain would!   Also:  WILLPOWER!!!
Tumblr media
...   Yet this does not end the page, and despite the fact that it would be a magnificent point to end the post, I will not do so.  I will first say that I was almost certain Dirk was actually in fact successfully hiding something from her when he was messing with his equipment/tech there [and great foresight on his part, to think this far ahead, by the way], and secondly, shall end the post with the actual page’s ending:
Tumblr media
I appreciate his continued devotion to realism in sound effects and whatnot.
Tumblr media
To be fair, he could be using that term technically and literally, here, but I also very much do believe that he was not, which is unfortunate. v.v Thus, Alt!Calliope’s question is quite valid.   Though my guess is that Dirk’s response will be something along the lines of, “She chose death and you over life with me.”  This might make her a “bitch” in the same way that men in prison who are raped are reported to be one, rather than the typical insulting-particularly-to-women version of the phrase. Regardless, this is uncalled for. ~~~ It is nice to see the fact that Alt!Calliope’s text is getting smaller, now, by the way.
Tumblr media
I don’t appreciate this mockery/show boating. It’s quite abrasive and distasteful. I do see it as being rather in-line with what I’d imagine his character would do, given the frustrating situation he was previously put in, though. Also:  This very much resembles what happened when he was first suppressed. There is much hilarity to be found in that, all things considered. Alt!Calliope was definitely a bit more benign in some ways and objective (most of the time), but that doesn’t mean that there weren’t some major similarities between narrators. Additionally:   I do quite love this example of narrative vs. physical action.  I only remember Caliborn/LE and Hussie ever engaging in that sort of contest before.  Well... you could say that there were a few examples of it with the Exiles and Kids/Trolls (like what Bec did to PM’s station, or Sollux’s defense against CD), but they don’t really feel like they were quiiitee substantive enough to count. Regardless!: Very refreshing and interesting, this style of conflict is! Thanks, AH! ... Buuuut there is just a liiitttle tiny bit left over on the page to comment on, so I’ll get to that.  (Oh, also, I totally imagine Jade falling asleep in the classic manner she used to before entering the session, just slumping over with her hands splayed out under her~)
Tumblr media
Okaaayyy... if you say so. The fact that tranquilizers can be lethal in doses that are too high does not jive well with your uncertainty, though.   Oh, and also:  WHAAAAT?!  You’re going to leave?!  This is a completely unexpected---   Okay, I can’t and won’t keep up that charade when admittedly the couple of pages I read of Homestuck^2 before freaking out and stopping showed a weird-shaped ship that looked vaguely like a flying fish.    I had tried to forget about that, but the memory suddenly rushed back to me as I read that bit of narration.
Tumblr media
Ehh?   Is this suggesting that the Candy epilogue is chiefly narrated by Alt!Calliope?   I mean... it would sortof work out logically, given her very pro-Free Will stance, and the association of Calliope with preferring Candy as food... .
Tumblr media
Hmm. This further supports that notion. Iiiif that is the case, Dirk stands as the proxy for LE/Caliborn even moreso than otherwise was clearly the case.  In retrospect, this makes it pretty gosh darned funny that his head got chopped off along with Jack English and Jack Noir (who, holding English’s “lordly sceptre,” and holding reign over the Felt, was OBVIOUSLY an English stand-in, as well  [I still giggle at his sudden use of it like a horse {hitcher} in the middle of the fight]).       Very, veeeeerrry interesting. ~~~ I wonder if Dirk was testing the idea of interjecting himself back into the narrative when he said, “Jake’s ass is mine,” twice, earlier. Oh, and credit to Forgotten Homestuck Facts for the pic compilation, earlier.

Better With You
Summary
Y/n a great ballet dancer, Jihoon an amazing hip hop dancer. Both are on their school's dance team, and both are top tier dancers. Except, Jihoon HATES the sight of Y/n and vice versa. The two can't stand being in the same room with each other until they are forced to. The next school dance competition is coming, and both were forced to compete as a duet. Oh, did I mention their both total opposites?
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: Cursing
Word count: 2.5k
moodboard // twt profiles // Part 1 //
I was packing my dance bag when suddenly I was knocked over from behind. Already knew who the culprit was, so I took my pointe shoe and launched it in the direction of where that person was walking. Just barely missing his head. “PARK JIHOON! WHY DON'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE WALKING NEXT TIME!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. I hated this guy, he’s so fricking cocky. He really thinks he's the best when he REALLY isn’t. There are way more talented people on the team.
Jihoon then picked up my shoe, dug his heel into the ground and turned to face me. Then suddenly he threw my shoe right back at me, hitting me in the arm. “WHY DON'T YOU, LEARN WHERE TO PROPERLY PUT YOUR SHOE!” He hissed.  “Why don't you WATCH where your throwing.” I walked up to the boy with slightly damp hair, indicating he just came from practice. I took him by the collar and yanked him closer to my face, while he mirrored me. “Jihoon!” “Y/n!”
Suddenly, my younger brother Yeongue, my best friend Yeorum, Yedam and Yoonbin; Jihoons friends came to pull us apart. “Sis, stop not here..” Yeongue pleaded. “He's right Y/n, come let's go,” Yeoreum added. “But HE started it.” I whined. “I started, more like YOU started it.” Jihoon scoffed. “Dude come let's go….” Yoonbin pulls Jihoon towards the exit.
Suddenly the tall boy broke away from his friends, coming at me with hands ready to be thrown. While I did the same. As our friends scramble to break us up.
~~~~~~~
“Mr. Park, Ms. Kim. You know why I’ve called you both here today, right?” Silence. “If it were up to me I would have you both suspended.” He sighs. Both of us tense up. I tightened my grip on my pants when suddenly I felt a hand over mine. I take a peek under the table, it was Jihoons. I glance over at the boy next to me, he didn't seem phased at all, eyes were focused on the principle. “But, since you guys are apart of our beloved dance team, so I won't. Instead, you must compete as a duet in the upcoming competition.”
Our eyes shot open. By this time Jihoon lets go of my hand. “B-but Mr. Yang I can't work with her, she's a complete snob.” “And I can't work with him he's way to cocky.” “Well, guess you have to make due. You two are dismissed.” He bluntly states, leaving both of us in complete utter shock. I can't believe this actually happening.
Both of us exited the principal's office.
I sprinted to the dance room, bursting into our dance captains office, Jihoon shortly trailing in after. “Herin, PLEASE tell me you’ll talk to the principal and convince him to pull me out of this duet” I whine. “This isn’t fair she’s too uptight to work with.” Jihoon shoots his hand up pointing towards me, pouting. “Hey!!”
“I was the one who suggested it.” She said nonchalantly. Our jaws fell open. I can't believe she would suggest such a thing.
“HERIN!” “I am aware that both of you hate each other, but I am also aware that both of you are the best dancers this school has. And with both of you competing, I am positive we can secure a win. And I also know both of you will do anything to win, am I right.” She clasps her hands together.
“Yes….” We mumble. “Glad I made my reason clear.” Jihoon leaves her office first, clearly resentful to the idea. Why of all days, why now why do this me, what have I done. Besides the fact, I fight with him all the time. I hated the idea of having to work him, our styles, so different how would this duet work? How would we work?
“Y/n.” I turned around. “Yes, Herin?” “I know you don't like this idea but, believe me, working with him will make you a stronger dancer.” Herin puts a hand on my shoulder. “Yeah, right.” I say sarcastically brushing her hand off and walking out of her office.
“They'll thank me later.”
~~~~~~
I walk back into the change room, as I forgot to pick up the pointe shoe that Jihoon chucked back at me when I hear pop music coming from one of the smaller dance rooms.
I decided to sneak a peek at who was dancing in the room. So I tiptoed my way to the door frame and opened the door enough for me to see who was dancing. To my surprise, it was none other than Jihoon.
I stand there watching his every move, every turn, and every facial expression. This was my first time to see him dance, well not first time but you know what I mean. His movements were so strong, so fluid, filled with so much emotion. I have to admit, he was good. No extremely good, I guess he is worthy of “the best dancer” title.
I stood there for what seems like forever until he was finished his set. Sweat drops forming on his forehead, his dark hair, damp from the sweat. He stood there trying to catch his breath. Dare I say, he kinda looks good. None the less he really was an amazing dancer.
“Cat got your tongue?” A voice spoke. “W-what the fuck- no. I was just passing by.” Lie. It was Yoonbin one of Jihoons friends. “Hmm, sure. Jihoon is a good dancer, ya know.” Yes, he was. “I mean, he could use more work but.” “Yoonbin? I that you? Whos there?” It was Jihoon, I can't let him find me here. “Shit, I wasn't here, got it?” I glare at Yoonbin. With that, I hid behind one of the lockers.
I peek behind to see what was happening. Jihoon walks out of the room, running his hands through his dark locks. “Was there someone with you.” He looks around the room. “Nope, just me.” Thank god. “I saw your dance, powerful as always.” Yoonbin complements. “Thanks, Bin just getting my anger out.” “Hmm?” “Y/n and I are the duet for the competition, by force.” He sighs. “Hey, at least your working with one of the best.” He pats is back. “Sure. Make sure your movements are sharp. AGAIN.” He mocks. First of all, I do not sound like that. Second of all, he isn't the only one sulking about this. But we need to suck it up for the sake of the team.
~~~~~~
“So noona, what happened in there.” My brother questions. “I'd rather not say.” “Oh come on, I'm sure it isn't something bad.” He pesters. “If you call, me and Jihoon the duet for the competition, “not bad” then I have no clue what is.” I complain. Silence. I turn to face my brother. His mouth agape. “What?’’ “ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, MY SISTER AND HER SWORN ENEMY, IN THE SAME DUET. WE’RE DOOMED. THERE GOES OUR WIN!” He whines. I could not believe what just unfolded in front of me. “Listen here you brat, I’m sure the both of us can find a way to work things out.” I say with no confidence in my voice what so ever.
“Hmm, sure.” Yeongue crosses his arm. I smack him in the head lightly. “Come on, let's get home before I beat your ass.” “What!?! What did I do?” He whines. “Everything, that's what you did.” “Hmph…. What's for dinner.” “We’ll see.”
~~~~~~
I was sitting at my desk doing my homework when I heard my text tone went off.
‘Y/n, I have a good feeling there is no way we can get out of this, meet me at the studio at XXXX address, so we can TRY to work on this. -jihoon’
I didn't want to deal with this at the moment. So I simply ignored it.
‘Ik you saw this Y/n as much as I don't wanna work with you, the captain is right I will do will anything to win. Ik you would do anything too, so pls’
‘Ps I got ur number from ur bro:)’
I ran my hand through my hair and responded.
‘What if I said no?:)’
‘Come on Y/n… don't you wanna win?’
‘...fine as long as you pick me up’
‘Fuck no.’
‘Then consider this duet, through’
I saw the familiar three dots appear, signaling that he was thinking about it
‘Fine, be ready in 15’
‘XXX, the address’
I leaned back in my chair and sighed. I can not believe this is actually happening. I gathered the rest of my pride to get my stuff together. I packed my bag with pointe shoes, got dressed and headed downstairs. “And where are you going?” Yeongue questioned. “None of you business traitor.” I glared plopping on the couch. “I literally breathed what did I do?” “You gave him my number that's what you did” “Huh, oh what was I supposed to do? Say “Sorry, she doesn't have a phone” When ur literally on it 25/8.” He talks back.
“And where did you learn that sass from?” I question. “Learned from the best.” He makes a face at me. I return the favor.
My phone rings.
“I'm, outside come out loser.”
“Whatever.”
I hung up the phone. “Call me when mom gets home, or if she doesn't, kay.” “Yup, now be nice.” He mocks. “I am.”
I head out the door. And I come face to face with Jihoon and his Audi. “Get in.” He demands. And I comply. The whole ride there was silence. This was the first he and I have been alone together, not counting the times we were in detention. I sat there silently in the passenger seat looking out the window. While looking out the window I remembered, how Jihoon had his hand over mine in the principal's office.
“So.” I started. “Back in the office, uhh why did you hold my hand?” I look over to the boy who was driving the Audi, eyes focused on the road. “Hmm, I thought, Mr. Yang would notice and go easy on us, but as you can see that didn't happen.” He sighs. I scoff in disbelief. “In short, you attempted to use me to get out of there, fucking selfish. “Hey, in my defense you also did not want to be there.”
There goes my attempt at holding a conversation. All he cares about is himself, no one else. I can't believe I’m actually complying to this. With that, the rest of the car ride there was in silence.
~~~~~~
At the studio
“We’re here.” I get out of the car. Wow, this place is amazing. I look at the building standing in front of me in awe. Jihoon and I enter through the full glass entrance with matching doors to go with it. And came face to the modernized lobby. Jihoon went to the front desk to ask if there was a dance studio available for us to use, giving me time to look around.
I walk around and look at all of the amazing dancers in the paintings that were hung in the lobby. One day I’ll be just like them, just wait and see. “Loser!” Jihoon yells pulling me back into reality. “One day I’ll be just like them.” That's what I said. “Pfft, in your dreams.” I humor. He pushes me causing me to stumble backward.
“Anyways I got us a room.” “Sweet.” Jihoon guides me up the stairs and into the dance studio he managed to get us. “How you even know about this place? I mean like it's like so high class.” I questioned, attempting at another conversation. “Cousin works here. Get changed there's a change room over there.” He bluntly states and heads towards the guys change room. Nice going Y/n, if you can't hold a conversation with him how can you even dance with him. I go grab my stuff and get changed.
I exited the change room wearing my leggings and loose crop top with my sports bra under and my pointe shoes on of course. I walked back into the dance studio where Jihoon was already warming up.
He was wearing a plain white shirt and grey Nike sweats. “So, I was thinking we go with a ballad song, like this.” I say pulling out my phone. “Uhh, here's what we’re not gonna do, we are going to an energetic piece.” “Uhh, how bout not. I don't DO energetic.” I say. “And I don't DO ballad songs. We glare at each other. This is the exact reason why I did not to work with him, he never listens to me.
He puts on a song over the speakers. “Dance, we’ll see what fits and what doesn’t.” He suggests. I raised my hands in the air and back off to the other side of the studio.
I started to dance, he did too. Anyone could tell that our styles did not mesh. Suddenly Jihoon bumped into me for like the 100th time today, I looked over at him and he just smirked. This bastard, if he wants to go let's go.
I walk over to him and shoved him, and signaled him to bring it on. And he did pulling off his best moves in order to out dance me, oh I was not going to let him beat me. He stopped dancing indicating it was my turn, I took this opportunity to pirouette towards him backing him out of my space. I pulled my sharpest moves, even throwing some flips that Yeorum taught me, all going to the song of course. The suddenly Jihoon joined in. Both of us battling to see who was better, but it was clearly both of us were tied went it came to the technique, but neither of was wanted to admit it.
“THAT'S IT! I had enough, we aren't going anywhere! All we’ve done is compete! We are not going to get anywhere!” I yelled. “It's your fault, you got in my way!” He huffs. “I did not you bumped into me!” “Hah, funny I’m totally laughing right now.” “If you would just listen to me, we would probably be down!” I scream.
“Not everything is about you! I can't help that you can’t let loose!” Jihoon yells out. That's it he drew the line I’m out. I can’t work with this BS. I grabbed my bag and shoes and left the studio. “And where do you think you're going?” Jihoon follows me out. “Home.” I deadpanned.
“We just got here, you can't leave.” “Just watch me try.” I stormed down the stairs and left the place. I can’t believe that he said that, he's spouting complete and utter bullshit. I walked outside, then walked back Jihoon. “Drive me home.”
(a/n sksks this the first time im letting the world see my writing, dw im planning to get better,, ignore the mistakes ive made in the story. part 2 will be out soon <3 luv yall please continue to support)

to the abandoned sacred beasts thoughts
Why do they seems determined to make Hank really hardcore serious in the anime? Like ‘ah yes, he knew everything about all his comrades’. Did I misread the chapter, or wasn’t the whole point about Behemoth’s bit that Hank didn’t remember what Artie wanted and then he felt guilty because of that? And confronting Artie verbally like in the manga would’ve been so much more poignant :c
Gonna gripe a bit (read: A LOT) more under the cut cause some things...mmm, not sitting right an I just wanna throw them out there while it’s fresh.
Manga Hank has some soft moments, a bit of cheek in his attitude, and funny bits (like the whole running-away-from-Liza intro? Gold. And the fact the he was actually napping in the bar when Schaal finds him and shoots him??? then tries to make out like it’s no big deal and he’s sorry for the disturbance?), and I get that maybe after that time comatose and everything he’d have hardened up but... Maybe I’m being nitpicky. Just kind of feels like they robbed him of part of his personality so he’d seem more ‘grr I have a tragic backstory’ which...really, we see how tragic it was without the extra layer of Brooding. And it’s really bloody tragic. 
It’s not like the Whitechurch parts have room for levity there in the first place, so I’m doubting anime Hank will actually have his funny moments like in the manga at all. If he does lighten up a bit that’s great and I’ll be looking out for it. But in the manga there’s a nice contrast going on between his internal emotions with the whole Incarnate situation and their oath, and then his suddenly being very oblivious, nervous and awkward about other things,and generally giving off a chill vibe (instead of a perma-brood one).
I just get the feeling that in the anime he’s going on this Oath fulfillment quest because it’s his duty, but the manga really makes it feel like a chore, like he HAS to do it no matter how much he hates it and he really does hate it. It really helps that the artist uses shading and expressions really gosh darn well, whereas my favourite thing about the anime is the use of colour (Schaal’s eyes man, 10/10) There’s just not this open display of his emotions in the anime, which is a shame, because Hank is clearly a very emotional character when it’s something close to him, ie; the scene where Liza says they found Cain. In the manga he straight up grabs her shoulders like he’s about to shake the info out. And his expression is feral. Anime it’s just a clenched fist, shadowed eyes and some growled out explanation. 
Maybe because they’re relying more on the VA’s to get the emotions across in voice? No clue, but the expressions are really suffering. Best face I can think of so off the top of my head is literally the end of the first episode when Hank wakes up and finds out Cain’s MIA. That moment was fricking bad-ass.
Also? not looking forward to the potential bullsh*t with Garmr seeing Schaal later on. After that whole thing in the first episode where he saw her photo and went instant waifu mode on her? I am suspicious. The whole opposing force between him and Hank is great and I hope that if they add that angle to the thing, it won’t muddy their fight. Also why is Garmr purple. Shoulda made him black to contrast Hank, or at least much darker purple.
Can’t really gripe about Schaal (yet?). Only thing I didn’t like is how they seemed to change her bond with her father. The manga had more like...’Here is sweet naive Schaal, look at how she has to grow up alone while he’s at war and is then so relieved to have him safe home’ and then they’d bring up the skills she had to learn to keep things afloat at the orphanage. Anime makes it...just...kind of creepy how much she clings to him. And also WHERE IS HER MAGICAL TEA SET???? You can’t just take away Tea Time! It’s important! And I mean that for the cave part too!
(Edit to add: I DO like how we did get to see their bond a lot sooner than finding out after Whitechurch. Good job pulling that forward.)
The other weird attitude change is Liza. Not that I mind her standoffish nature being toned down, but I feel like her gradual fondness for Schaal is important.
ALSO has it been two months or two years? Manga says Liza’s been supporting Hank’s hunting for two years, anime says two months he was in a coma then presumably woke up and got right into hunting down the Incarnates. Mistranslation or...?
I am really digging the animation, colours and soundtrack, so it’s not like it’s all bad. Far from it! I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far. And also, William’s dragon design is probably one of the best dragons I’ve seen for long while. And it’s animated in 3D really well. So far the 3D animation has been really good, which is usually an issue I have with it cause it looks funky. It’s mostly Hank being relegated to ‘Brooding Male Lead’ that irks me.
Despite all my negative gripes, I am looking forward to more of the anime, very much so. That OP is tremendous and I can’t wait for the stuff that goes down in Whitechurch! Gargoyle looks pretty dang good.

Fans overexaggerate Maxence and Axel’s acting. Maxence’s acting is mostly monotonous and two-dimentional. Meanwhile Axel’s is over sometimes (it’s prob because of the directing style too).
Hey anon, thanks for stopping by! Sooo, as for your opinion… 
-I disagree for Maxence: I actually love how he portrayed Elliot and I don’t spend that much time in the tag of Skam France here on tumblr so maybe that’s why, but I personally didn’t see the fandom  exaggerate that much about his acting abilities.
- I agree (partly) for Axel: partly because I don’t personally think he’s over the top as an actor, the scenes that felt too much to me where more of a directing/writing thing as you said rather than an acting problem. But I agree with him being a little overrated, even if I do find him a very good actor, just not more than Federico (let’s hold on with Matteo yet since he just started) and especially not more than Tarjei, who to me is probably the best actor out of all the Skam verse. It’s probably because I love the subtleties in acting and Tarjei is incredible at that: it’s not easy to make a believable cry face or scream in anger, but I think most actors got it (even just staying in the skam universe, when Manon started crying with Lucas on the couch -amazing scene btw- she was just as good at crying), what I find even more difficult and fascinating is when an actor can deliver his emotions without the need for tears or screams or having a powerful outburst, he just uses his face, his expression, without making a sound and the magic happens. That’s when I go: omg he’s such a fricking god at acting. That’s the next level to me, when a actor can still leave you in awe with his talent even with the most random, quiet and casual scenes.
For example, the moment when Nicco/Elliot runs away naked and after the chasing we have the closed up on Lucas/Marti expression, I was more impressed by Fede’s face and eyes in that moment even if he wasn’t crying (maybe because he wasn’t crying). (maybe it’s also because I relate to it more, irl when the levels of anxiety reach a certain point it’s literally too much for me to cry, it doesn’t come natural as a reaction to me, so it’s nice to see also that represented I guess). 
But this kind of acting, if for Fede and Axel I can think of a few examples that make me say ‘yes, they’re good’, with Tarjei is basically every single scene, he is the one that make me kneel at his feet, so yeah, I think Axel is good but after reading so many times that he’s the best Skam actor (this even out of the France tag, that’s why for Maxence I didn’t agree but with him yes), I agree that fans exaggerate with him.

uuuuuUUUUGH I forgot how early Tony’s undercover stuff started
now that gibbs is back there’s so much tension between z/t
perhaps because z is jealous of the “mystery girlfriend”
tfw you’ve already got a girlfriend but you’re still checking out your totally platonic professional work partner’s ass
ziva is definitely a daddy’s girl in a way that Abby isn’t, Abby’s sugar sweet and spoiled, but ziva is the one that really needs the emotional support
Tumblr media
I wonder if ziva ever actually thought about having kids with tony before tali
I wonder if tony thought about it too
has anyone ever told you you’re attractive/my brother 😂
you’re a geek, not mentally deranged
crime!!
4x04
Timothy Jimothy McGee
4x05
uhoh Tony’s worst nightmare
personally I prefer a good shag 👀
I think it’s good to keep in mind throughout all episodes that tony and ziva have already seen each other entirely buck-ass naked
I’m not blowing on you again
again: what the fuck
Tumblr media
totally normal
Tumblr media
👀
Tumblr media
now is not Paris
why do you wanna look at a dead guy’s junk Anthony
4x06
I don’t totally understand ziva’s derision of Halloween, they do have Purim in Israel (and in Jewish communities in general) it might not be as dark and spooky as American Halloween but still
maybe it’s different in the states but amber alerts are only when they know the kid’s been abducted
I mean now they do know she was abducted but that was AFTER
according to someone called Scuttle Butt
so tony and ziva are watching movies together outside of work 🤔
4x07
UGH jeanne
zeevah! Zeevah!!
this has to be the stupidest thing anyone’s ever done/then why are you following me/I don’t fricking know (it’s cause you love her you doof)
i can see down your shirt right now/I don’t think your new girlfriend would like that/what are you talking about i don’t know what you’re talking about/I’m talking about you and the fact that you no longer stare at every woman when they pass you by
so 1) tony is not as good at hiding this undercover assignment as he thinks he is, 2) ziva observes him enough to notice that his behaviour has changed and 3) ziva is the only one he is STILL checking out
not worth dying over
I’ll remember that
my son, tony (!!!!!!!!)
gibbs was unfortunate(?) enough to be stuck with the most loyal set of ducklings
4x08
the only thing I DO like about the jeanne/la grenouille plot is jealous ziva
this cannot be admissible in court even with proper chain of evidence
totally platonic to be touching the entire side of your work partner’s body with your own tony would definitely sit that close to McGee by choice right it’s not just ziva
Tumblr media
lee looks like a ballerina
sometimes they really go hard with the imperialistic propaganda
4x09
nepotism: both Sean and Troian getting jobs on ncis
MySpace im….okay
Jenny’s only here for the hot goss
see I don’t think Jenny realizes he’s talking about jeanne, I almost wonder if she thinks he’s talking about ziva
4x10
McGee thinks ziva’s in love with me (she is)
dad and grandpa are fighting and the kiddies don’t like it
pimmy jalmer
🎶sexually frustrated “platonic” partners🎶
Tumblr media
you two done playing grab ass
you described everything in my bedroom (why weren’t they endgame?)
I do feel bad for tony. He was definitely put in a bad situation where he was taken advantage of (by NCIS/the director) without anyone to confide in, and of course it ended really, really badly
how can ziva even tell but anyways of course she’s jealous
Tumblr media
the usual/the usual what - oof. That expression hurts. Poor ziva
Tumblr media
you got that moustache in a box, don’t you
4x11
sexual harassment training
LICKING YOUR COWORKER’S FACE IS TOTALLY APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR ZIVA DAVID
why are you touching dead naked people?
I suppose at this point the viewers didn’t know that jeanne had anything to do with the undercover stuff tony was doing
ziva is concerned about her boooyfrieeend-seriously though
Tumblr media
what part of inappropriate touching don’t you understand
Tumblr media
romantic or not, ziva seriously gives several shits about tony and his well-being
Tumblr media
dadman to the rescue
did Jenny…also not know????
ziva is so, so concerned ugh bb
4x12
I don’t know what my moas would be
unreservedly romantic tony
ahh, you two got married and didn’t tell me
I think it’s scary!
oh ziva.
why does ziva being so concerned make gibbs so uncomfortable 🤔👀
your other phone is never on silent
IT LITERALLY DID NOT OCCUR TO ZIVA DAVID, INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AGENT, THAT TONY COULD HAVE A GIRLFRIEND
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THAT FACE
HOMEGIRL’S WORLD JUST GOT FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN
oh z
so the pictures that mossad had at the beginning of the season of z/t - could those have been from the agents watching tony and jeanne now?
4x13
when your wife and your girlfriend are in the same room
sounds like you have something up your wazoo
when your boyfriend has two super intense daughters who could both kill your painfully and without evidence
ooh petulant ziva
I’m certain that they used the same hall for jeanne and Tim’s apartments
“it’s important to appreciate the competition” EXCUSE ME TONY the competition for WHO??? Ziva??????
what the FUCK tony
those two are unusually motivated to find sharif 👀
4x14
what’s a little state sanctioned kidnapping between friends, eh?
mark harmon was on st elsewhere, wasn’t he?
maybe now gibbs gets why ziva’s so concerned
z is so pretty in this episode
4x15
so Tony’s so in love with jeanne that he doesn’t notice ziva dancing provocatively in front of him, but not so in love with jeanne that he’ll get in between ziva and someone who’s attracted to her
he’s also a ziva-to-English translator
oh tony
Dead Man Walking
oh dear poor z
you didn’t make her promise not to destroy it, mcgee
brain training to figure out how ziva knows the dude
aquasmurf
meetcute
so does my spleen
we finish each other’s-sandwiches
her technique 👀
falling in love with a dying man is a fantastic idea z
(Professional follow-up)
oh z
Tumblr media
red light behaviour!!!!!
the look on your face says you are
what’s that look on your face
gee tony if you’re so in love with jeanne why are you also so in love with ziva
are you okay?
good guy tony
4x17
I’m pretty sure that mausoleum exploded in Bones too
so. over. abby.
why do they just shit on ziva all the time on this stupid show, everyone she loves dies
when you break up with your girlfriend but she’s still jealous of your wifee 😬
4x18
she’s wearing Roy’s hat 😖
oof, boy’s got a face like a brick house
I don’t want to see you naked, either tony
cold elbow
or maybe you said something when you should have said something
I’m so not interested in this melodrama 🙄
not good?
4x19
oh tony
4x20
ziva is totally unimpressed by these shenanigans
uncomfortably reflecting upon McGee’s book and ziva looks like she’s about to cry 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tumblr media
campfire!
4x21
all these investigators and none of them can figure out that it’s kort
4x22
jeanne, on a fishing expedition and tony, regretting his response
ziva, studiously avoiding tony’s face while tony processes his regrets
Tumblr media
bad news from the, um, dentist? / something like that OOPS TONY OOPS
Tumblr media
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Tumblr media
she looks so hurt, ouuuch
like
she must realise how much in love she is with tony, even after roy
A GIRL LINGERS
Tumblr media
long enough
tony/zeevah
Tumblr media
that was...astonishingly cruel
like I can’t even comprehend
“it’s because you’re a good person” YOU DON’T DESERVE HER DINOZZO
you fuck
he’s right/he is?/i am?
4x23
noooooooooo
yeeeeeeeeees
buying a house is a loooooot
“Tony’s never vulnerable” maybe not around you, jeanne 👀
ha! I’m a normal man! I hate my wife!
I don’t know if I’m getting this ziva outfit mixed up with the one in bury your dead or if Something actually happens in this episode
something happens in this episode
so you’ll help me?
Tumblr media
rip my little bi heart, she loves him
Tumblr media
love you too, jeanne
poor z
4x24
I think sometimes she pretends not to know movies just to hear tony talk about them
Tumblr media
OH NO THE BAR
to dry eyed mice
i have seen this episode an unhealthy number of times
I have a funny feeling, doctor
Tumblr media
straight to voicemail, just like always when he’s with her
oooh z
tony?/what?!
why do you monitor tony?/i don’t monitor tony/oh yes you do, like a mother with a toddler
or a woman with a wayward lover
so if he’s profiling you, z, that means...there’s some truth to it?
tony is with his girlfriend, and you are worried about him
Tumblr media
he is my partner, and my partner said he would be here and...and I have this not so good feeling
cut tooooooo a gun
aaaaand now to bury your dead.......

underappreciated things about rise 1x09: totally hosed
i love this episode
lou doing yoga
mr kranepool told him about it
gordy’s not a fan
the mazzus are so sad when maashous tells them that he’s leaving
sadie :(
simon looks at his family completely differently now 
tracey wanting to keep working with lou even though he’s lou
this is the point when mama who bore me started to get a little excessive
jeremy has a polar bear wearing sunglasses on his shirt and i can’t tell if it’s blessed or cursed
lilette just being interrupted in the middle of her song
i love this episode because of the troupe awkwardly just being there during like three of lou and tracey’s arguments
also sasha has her arm around michael’s shoulders
evan’s list for spring awakening is just. it’s certainly something
when robbie’s visiting his mom for the first time this episode he looks less happy and more scared
robbie wanting his mom to be there on opening night
robbie’s face when his mom says that she’ll come when she’s feeling better
gwen’s smile when gordy is introduced to the troupe
gordy looks so awkward i love it
everyone cheering at the first full runthrough
but if this is the first full run through what were they doing in episode 7?
lexi blaming herself for the petition
why does jeremy wear a suit here but a hoodie in the final performance. why couldn’t he keep the suit he looks so good
jolene coming up with totally fricked
“there will be other-” “censorship?” “...tweaks.” simon saunders i would die for you
jeremy and francis look so pissed when ms wolfe stops lilette
also i think they’re sharing a chair which is cute
i really like the set for dark i know well with the railroad tracks on the ground
also their version of it is. really dramatic and idk how i feel about that
“i thought you said the text was sacred. that we have to utter every syllable the playwright writes.” i love you lilette
the totally fricked montage is still the best thing to come out of this show
also i just realized that francis plays both herr knochenbruch (i know that i didn’t spell that right) and georg so wtf does he do during this song. does he go change his clothes really quickly when robbie starts singing or do we all just pretend not to notice that one of the adult men is singing georg’s solo
robbie rolling his eyes during totally confused. i’ve never noticed it before and it’s the funniest thing in the world to me
francis trying not to laugh during totally blue
maashous looking so exhausted the whole time
and then him facepalming in the background after totally messed up
lou watching while gwen and gordy talk
“why are you volunteering here?” “i just love theater”
lilette saying that robbie’s dad hates her. the worst part is she’s probably right
i think that vanessa and lilette have both said “i’m a big girl i can handle myself” at different points in the show, which is interesting
SIMON SINGING WOYBR WHILE HE DOES HIS HOMEWORK I’M GOING TO FUCKING CRY
if i ever have to see emma sad again i’m going to break my tv screen
simon telling emma that she can come live with him if their parents ever get divorced
mama strickland being so salty about having to change lilette’s dress
i love that she asked how lilette’s doing with everything that’s going on with coach and vanessa. she’s the only adult to really realize how much this has a toll on lilette and gwen and i like that about her
“you have a light. you shine.”
why is the jukebox on the stage during dark i know well what purpose does it serve
have we just decided to ignore francis and clark’s adult men wigs
i like how they have the rest of the cast walking around in the background during dark i know well like they’re not seeing/ignoring martha and ilse’s abuse
“i want to want you i don’t want to need you” fuck yes lilette
the troupe coming out of the wings to watch tracey and lou argue about the beating scene is a mood
“tiny, tiny, TINY CHANGES”
gwen and gordy glancing at each other and smirking
“you can beat her. just...like it less”
kaitlin is so excited for next year when she can be in the play and now i’m just sad
she’s so worried about maashous
“i hate her. i don’t know her, but i hate her”
lou telling gail about gordy and gwen
he doesn’t want gordy to get his heart broken
gail was out of lou’s league
simon’s dad is so cold. it reminds me of how simon acts with jeremy or  whenever he closes himself off
simon’s face when his dad says “compromises”
and especially when his dad says that someday simon will have to make the same compromises
bitch of living playing in the background
the transition from simon praying to singing. you can really tell that the stage is where simon feels the most free and that’s one of the reasons why he’s so pissed about the changes - because something’s threatening that.
the fact that ‘bitch’ wasn’t on evan’s swear list so they just go for it
the girls are getting so into it i love them so much
francis didn’t have to go that hard during his solo but he did and i’d like to thank him for it
rise remains the only production that i know of where we have physically seen grossenbustenhalter (i know that i didn’t spell that right) during bitch of living. i don’t know how to feel about this
when i had pneumonia i spent an entire day on the couch rewatching rise on hulu and when i got to this scene my dad was in the kitchen nearby so i just. turned the volume way down to avoid questions
it’S THE BITCH OF LIVING AND SENSING THIS IS BAD
michael and jeremy look so tired of this
why did we even have to cut francis’s solo it doesn’t technically break any of evan’s rules
lou really doesn’t want to say breasts
“you and your....piano teacher”
i remember being so surprised that simon said “ass” because he just doesn’t seem like the type
michael just standing on the chair in the background with his arms crossed
this is my favorite scene in the series and You Will Know About It
this is so important to simon and it’s just falling apart. just like his family, just like his whole life right now.
there’s nothing that simon values more than the truth, his truth, and he doesn’t want to keep hiding it from everyone, most of all himself. that’s why he doesn’t want to make compromises in spring awakening or in his own life.
jeremy’s expression when simon says that his family is falling apart
simon’s literal mic drop
you can see him wiping away tears when he walks off stage
sasha looks so shocked and it’s the funniest fucking thing
lilette going after him. idk if this was a deleted scene or not but i would kill to see that conversation
if i ever see francis look that sad again i’m going to personally fight jason katims with my own two fists
“set up for scene five” *no one moves* “SCENE FIVE” *michael quickly steps off of the chair*
gordy and lou stress eating together at the diner
gordy calling simon “that simon kid”
lou calling himself cool and gordy just laughing at him
tbh lou and gail are a Good pair of heterosexuals
robbie’s hands shaking when he’s talking with the nurse
kaitlin’s cute space buns and galaxy leggings
i’m going to tattoo maashous was here over my heart. you know the heart that he broke
robbie nearly being in tears when he asks his mom to come to opening night
amazing grace.
the contrast between lilette and her mom and robbie and his mom. lilette’s mom is gone because of her own decision, robbie’s mom is leaving against her will
enough games where the fuck is damon j gillespie’s emmy
rilette just holding onto each other
why am i so emotional about these straight fifteen year olds
“i’ve never felt so close to someone” end my life!!!
jeremy asking simon if he’s okay
i unironically love jeremy’s skater boy outfit
simon’s voice cracking when he talks about the bomb inside of him
both of the boys have tears in their eyes and i’m :(
you know that meme of the dude carrying the giant oscar on his shoulder? that’s me giving ted sutherland and sean grandillo their emmys
where the fuck is the rest of their conversation why does nbc hate us so much
gordy not giving up on gwen
on the aforementioned pneumonia day my dad was in the room with me when gordy said that gwen was pretty stalkable and i remember that his exact words were “what the fuck?”
kaitlin pulling up the adoption website and putting the computer in front of her mom is such a power move i love her
lou’s eye roll during censored dark i know well
what did the censored song even sound like i can’t think of a way to make it not about sexual abuse
yeah yOU’RE HOSED ALRIGHT
evan loves totally hosed
the troupe listening in on the final argument of the night
i would like to call specific attention to michael starting to leave before lou even says anything, simon and lilette sharing the chair, and francis doing it to em
you can see that maashous is still there as the argument continues. i bet he knows all the tea
this is the last episode that we watched before knowing about the cancellation wow i’m sad
next post: i die

i got hit with major feels after reading the latest AYDTD. please brace yourself for this essay and i hope i sound even a tiny bit coherent. like idek where to start but this story is literally my absolute fave. it has EVERYTHING i want in a fic. seriously. E V E R Y T H I N G. asher is the pairing i have been waiting for 5ever. (1/14)
gaaaah i love how they started off hating each other and then FWB situation and then all the angst and jealousy and now the being in a relationship but still absolutely terrified and waiting for the shoe to drop???? (2/14)
like you have no idea how long i have been waiting for a fic like this and HOW you write them is such a big part of why i like it. i’m sure there are other fics like this (i’ve read a few from the dramione fandom in HP) BUT NONE OF THEM GET IT RIGHT THE WAY YOU DO. like you write them in such a raw and natural way that i can literally feel or at least understand and see just how vulnerable ash and roger both are. (3/14)
they’re both used to fucking things up and now that they have smth good, it’s terrifying them both and i love that in this pairing??? you express that about them so perfectly. you just write them so well, they’re characterizations are perfect. i don’t think i have enough words to express how much or what i love about them??? because i love everything?? (4/14)
girl i’ve read so many angsty fics but you are one of the select few that get it right! like this has everything i’ve ever wanted in a pairing. also i can’t emphasize enough how REAL you write them. the way you describe their emotions and how you fit their dialogue which is also perfectly natural and so REALISTIC. ugh istg this fic of yours is giving me so much life rn like i look forward to every. single. update. (5/14)
i keep reading and re-reading the other chapters. that’s how much i love it?? i’m also ridiculously excited for the part with dominique. like I KNOW that shit will RUIN ME (in a good way of course) but i live for drama and your well-made angst just makes it even better??? i cannot wait for how these two will deal with that and what will go down!! (6/14) 
idk if it’s just me but these two are so relatable IMO. i’ve become so jaded about love and relationships and your fic has managed to encapsulate everything i’ve ever thought about and felt when it comes to those two things. (7/14) 
ash’s hesitations towards anything serious with roger and her fear of smth getting messed up so she doesn’t want to dwell on the good things or label anything like i get that??? i get the hesitation to not want to get caught up in anything bec nothing is perfect and smth’s bound to go wrong. there’s just smth so real about that and you’ve managed to capture it perfectly with these two. (8/14) 
  i love that both of them don’t know what to do with all their feelings and how you write them struggle with it feels so forking real. i love reading about a pairing and seeing everything they go through in their relationship and when i say you’ve hit all the right spots for asher, girl i’m totally serious. everything going on with them feels real and relatable like these are valid emotions and circumstances that someone could go through?? (9/14) 
like i know they’re gonna have a HEA but no relationship is perfect and i’m so ready to read about all the stuff coming their way and how they’re gonna get through all that like ugh just imagining all the angst and drama is making me so excited but also knowing they’ll be happy in the end isn’t a total spoiler either?? the stakes are still real? anything could happen??? (10/14) 
i can’t wait to see what each character will do to fight for their relationship and work things out??? mygosh i LIVE for this stuff??? all the angst and dramadramadrama!!! how you make their struggles so fricking real just makes the ending so much better like whatever happens to these two, they deserve that HEA. (11/14) 
listen if you need to take a break, delete prompts and ask for new ones etc, girl YOU DO YOU okay??? don’t let anyone get in the way of your inspiration or your writing. i will literally fight people if they drive you away from this and it affects AYDTD. (12/14)
it would be so devastating if you end up abandoning the story cause people are being dumb or whateva (unless of course it’s smth personal and whatnot then girl i would understand that i don’t wanna sound selfish or anything). i’m forever grateful that you shared this masterpiece to us like idk what i would do once this ends (probs read it like everyday all over again)???? (13/14)
the realism in your writing style is really just perfect for asher and i’ll never get over this story. wow this is embarrassingly long and ALL OVER THE PLACE so i’m not coming off anon, i just had to get all my feelings out 🙃 i’m sorry for the multiple messages??? ANYWAY i can’t believe this word vomit i wrote, TLDR: AYDTD IS PERFECT. I LOVE IT. YOUR WRITING IS AMAZING. YOU ARE AMAZING. THIS FIC IS EVERYTHING. THANK YOU FOR WRITING ASHER AND SHARING IT WITH US. (14/14)
P.S. all the moments between asher in the latest update was so perfect my heart literally melted during the part when ash wasn’t upset that roger got a song idea while they were making out??? that was so adorable and they’re so cute i literally cannot shut up about them okay i’m gonna stop now byeeee
It took me a while to post this because it absolutely floored me. The idea that you've connected to my story in such a way is so overwhelming and I'm so unbelievably glad I was able to write something that you've enjoyed so thoroughly. I don't know how to respond to this, I'm genuinely so overwhelmed and appreciative. I love you and I wish you all the happiness in life, thank you so much for taking the time to send this. ����💖💖
