#shocked me 10x more than BIG tbh

[dnpg-hiatus-survivor]

sorry but not even a phrelationship phreveal could make me feel the pure unbridled joy and shock that this video made me feel

[liil-ee]

I GENUINELY WISH I NEVER DECIDED TO CATCH UP ON THIS SERIES BECAUSE WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK DID I JUST READ AJSJSIXJEJK

⚠️Chainsaw Man Manga Spoiler warning⚠️

okay so the other day I got volume 9 of csm, little did I know, that’s where all the drama begins cause what in the worldddd

(I was planning on reading volumes 1-11 via physical volumes but I couldn’t wait to buy volume 10 so I decided to read it online but I ended up catching up on the entire series ?? 🙂🐸)

So here is my genuine reaction to chapters 70ish thru the current chapters

ok first of all, the character development Denji AND Power have gone through is insane. I didn’t think they could get this close, which genuinely breaks my heart that they didn’t have this for long 💔💔

They both matured for sure, there’s no denying it.

I also wanted to point out the bath scene, I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it enough, but the fact that Denji didn’t fall for selfish desires and actually helped Power bathe instead of making the situation awkward, was so sweet omg 🥺🥺

again, here we can see the difference in how he has matured, before he wanted women for his own desires but now he starts to realize that he is able to have platonic relationships with women like Power

OKAY BUT THIS WAS JUST CRUEL. IM GOING TO START BAWLING WHEN THIS GETS ANIMATED LIKE WTH

FUTURE DEVIL DID 👏NOT👏STUTTER👏 THIS WAS THE WORST POSSIBLE DEATH OMG.

I didn’t think he would die THAT quickly, this chapter literally crept up on me SO FAST

okay, and I had also gotten spoiled on this scene too but I didn’t know the context of it but now I’m sobbing 😭

Denji and Power’s relationship is literally so heartbreaking wth 💔💔 and the fact that Denji was already mourning Aki’s death made this 10x worse

Okay but this page HIT FR

(Ngl makima’s strategy was actually so smart)

ok and then this made me laugh fr I was crying like WHAT IS THIS 😭😭

Kobeni’s short return was so funny for no reason 💀💀 Like my girl is TIRED of dealing with devils, give her a break Fr 😭👏

BUT THIS HAD ME THINKING ALL. DAY. WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABT THIS???

when I saw this page ⬇️ I was like NO FREAKING WAY… and I turned out to be right 😭😭

BIGGEST PLOT TWIST OF THE YEAR FR 😭

I literally had no idea she died, I guess I wasn’t spoiled too much for this series but yea I was kinda laughing at this tbh like WDYM HE CONSUMED HER ??

also I had no idea that this was all one big arc…

When it said “part 1” I was lowkey shocked

ok and here’s where I start talking about the second arc/current arc

Okay, for starters this arc is honestly a lot more interesting than the first one, (I love the characters in the first arc more tho) I literally love the whole idea behind all the tension between Asa and Denji, Asa is a little confusedwhen it comes to her feelings and is convinced that she doesn’t have any feelings for Denji OR Chainsaw Man but which is honestly really funny considering Denji’s personality. And Denji is just as confused as she is. 💀💀

Also I’m loving the whole idea of the alter ego dynamic where Asa’s main obstacle is the War Devil, something she is constantly battling, and is the complete opposite of, Fujimoto wrote her well imo

Also Denji being straight up blunt abt his desires was so funny to me, he is the total opposite of Asa who for the life of her (literally) cannot be selfish

I mean… at least he’s being honest BUT I think I know where this is going…

From the beginning, Denji has never truly understood love, all the girls he “fell for” were just using him, and he only wanted them for their looks, bodies, etc. but now when we bring Asa into the picture, I think she’s definitely going to change him for sure, just like Power and Aki did. I think they’re definitely going to be end game, with Asa he doesn’t really have feelings for her *yet* but I’m sure he will catch on and realize that there’s more to women than just their looks, and Asa will humble him. I cannot wait for this duo to get more and more chaotic 💀💀 I’m living for them fs ❤️

🗣️🗣️SHOUTOUT TO MY GIRL NAYUTA, ABSOLUTE ICONIC QUEEN ❤️❤️

ok and this was literally so funny for no reason

he was so real for this 🤭🤭

I cant believe Asa wouldn’t let him see the penguins 🙄🙄 Smh

Ok but after all this I can finally understand why Csm fans are bawling their eyes out! Thank you for taking me on this experience with you!! 😍😍 😭

[mysmegrace]

greetings , i know this request is really specific but it just happened to me and i am feeling a mix of emotions i can't even describe through text lmao , can i please request zen with an mc who stayed up really late ( to the point of barely getting any sleep ) to finish an important project for school only to realize they had like another month to do it ?¿ it can be the whole rfa if you want but tbh i don't mind it if it's only zen

hey, we've all been there haha. on the plus side, your project is complete and you have one less thing to worry about for the next month. but i'm blessed to write this for you.

Zen with an MC who Pulled an All Nighter to Finish a School Project Only to Realize She had Another Month

---

where had you gone, he wondered as he rised from his tired state.

maybe you got up early?

but why would you be getting up at 6am on a sunday..?

you said you would join him in bed later on that night.

he argued, saying he wouldn't be able to get some beauty sleep without you next to him.

after a solid 10 minutes of reassurance, he finally let up and fell asleep.

seeing him let out soft snores, you got your confirmation that he was really asleep.

and that's when you left to your computer, occupying the couch for the entire night.

12am came, and your work was nowhere near done.

2am came, and you progressed a bit farther.

4am came, and you couldn't help but beat yourself up over it.

"god i'm such an idiot for waiting until the last second, what am i gonna do with my life if i fail this?" you worried.

after it, this project was worth 50% of your grade.

besides the online advantage, nothing seemed to be going the way you wanted it to.

the house you two shared had a terrible internet connection compared to the rest of korea.

those little issues only made it 10x harder.

stress was building up by the second, and you fought to hold back tears.

then came 6am, and you had made an incredible amount of progress.

it was shocking how far you made it by neglecting what your body craved.

sleep, to be particular.

you weren't sure if you've ever felt so tired.

then your ears caught the sound of something.

it was nothing you could point to at first, making you wait in a frozen form.

perhaps the sound would sound again and you could pinpoint it, you thought.

then it happened again.

this time, in a set of two.

you sat still, looking for a solid conclusion to come to.

you know, it sounded really similar to the noise the bed frame you two shared.

then it clicked.

you could relax, knowing someone wasn't breaking into the house.

until you couldn't.

reality kicked in.

the bedframe would only sound if you or zen got up on it.

putting two and two together, you realized zen had woken up.

curiosity turned into panic.

you had meant to get in bed before he woke up, that way, he wouldn’t question anything.

maybe you could play it off?

but what would you even say?

“i just got a craving for writing essays”?

that wouldn’t work.

you had little time to think before his conscious figure walked besides you, standing in the door of the hallway.

the darkness surrounding him complimented his eyes, you noticed.

the same eyes that were radiating with concern.

“what are you doing up?” he asked, giving a frown for no more than a minute.

surely it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if he knew, right?

“i’m just finishing a project, it’s done in a few sentences” you answered, typing while you spoke.

“mc...” he whined, uncrossing his arms to freely lean against the entrance way.

“why are you overworking yourself? you need to sleep..” he said, his voice full of unease.

“it needs to be done zen, look, i just finished” you said, flashing the screen in his direction.

“it’s due tomorrow, i had no choice” you continued.

he only sighed, knowing there was nothing he could do now.

you clicked turn in on your project, watching as the loading sign spun.

out of curiosity, you looked at the due date to wonder what time the teacher expected the project in by.

your mouth dropped, taking in what you were seeing.

you couldn’t believe it.

“are you okay?” zen said, eyes wide as your defeated face filled his vision.

“i-” you tried to start, in so much shock at your computer screen.

“i had another month left...” you said, looking to meet the floor.

you felt like an idiot.

a tired idiot.

“oh, mc” he said, walking up to hug you.

“please, get some rest, we’ll talk later” he suggested, examining your bad posture and reddened eyes.

“..okay” you gave in.

he gave a smile, saying “good girl, i just have to use the washroom and i’ll be back”.

you watched as he left out of your sight, finally allowing yourself to lay down.

the way you felt as your back cracked, your arms fell, and your neck hung was indescribable.

you couldn’t help but indulge in the dark your eyelids provided for you.

only for a second, you thought, as you drifted away from consciousness.

shortly after, zen came out from the washroom, going to meet you in the living room.

yet what he was greeted with was your sleeping figure.

he couldn’t help but chuckle.

you looked adorable.

careful as to not wake you up, he picked you up in a bridal position.

giving him close access to your facial features, he gently stroke the bridge of your nose, as he carried you to the bedroom you shared.

as he placed you down softly on the mattress, he gave a gentle kiss.

“sweet dreams” he whispered, as he went to cuddle you from the other side of the bed.

[student-film-lying-piece-of-shit]

that's it im fucking saying it

heavy content warning for rape, abuse ect

okay i warned yall

If you're gonna make 'ticci toby realistic' okay fine i don't FUCKING care anymore that's JAZZY make him a heartless monster who eats kids like whatever you see him as is vaild to me just know ill never accept that sorry

but im SICK and TIRED of y'all fucking taking that and making fanfictions where he's in relationships or even x readers as a shitty abuser

you can't have both. you can't have a romantic ship story that glorifies rape, abuse and gaslighting i am so fucking tired

yesterday i found like. god knows how many fics with toby being a rapist and it made me deadass cry because seeing a character ive projected into for years be butchered into such a despicable human hurt. and with edgy toby none of you know how he works

'Dark' or whatever toby: think Alex Kraile from mh I guess? Withdrawn, kinda a dick, but is VERY loyal to his cause with working to the slenderman. he does everything under his name. toby doesn't kill for his own gain, yea he might get some pleasure from it, but if we're gonna go by david near's toby interpretation, he obviously cares about lives to an extent

(spoilers up ahead hdiwsbsi for jeffs final sleep/ticci toby patient interview)

he even has a giant character arc in one of his stories where he refuses to listen to slender and detaches from him

in the patient series, he begs Dr. Wilson to let him go because he knew zalgo would be there to kill his thearpist and everyone in the building. the small things in that interview shows he's empathic outside of being a proxy

he apologises for snapping. he gets scared by slenderman. He respects Dr. Wilson

for fucks sake

HE ISN'T A MONSTER HES A KID WITH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL DISABILITIES AND IS BEING CONTROLLED BY AN ENTITY NONE OF YOU UNDERSTAND HE HAS NO FREE WILL!!!!! NONE!!! HIS DRIVE TO MURDER ISN'T EVEN HIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S BRAINWASHED!!!!!!! STOP ACTING LIKE YOU GET THAT WHEN YOU DON'T FOR ABSOLUTE FUCKS SAKE. SLENDERMAN GETS NOTHING FROM HIM RAPING SOMEONE

RAPE IS A SELFISH ACT. STOP THROWING IT AROUND LIKE NOTHING!!!! AS A SURVIVOR OF CSA IT'S FUCKING PAINFUL TO SEE THIS! THIS FANDOM NEEDS TO STOP JUST THROWING AROUND THAT CRIME LIKE NOTHING! AND CLAIM ITS IN THE NAME OF BEING REALISTIC !!!!!! STOP!!!!!!!!! I DON'T WANNA READ A HEAVY DETAILED RAPE SCENE IN A FUCKING FANFICTION!!!! NOT EVEN BETTY KRUGER DID THAT!!!!!!!!! BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD SHOCK VALUE HAS FUCKING LIMITS

TOBY WOULD NEVER, NEVER, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER KIDNAP AND TOTURE SOMEONE OF HIS OWN WANTS AND NEEDS. HE'S, DEEP DOWN INSIDE, JUST A SCARED TEENAGER / YOUNG ADULT

"ghost stop being angry"

okay. i will when a trauma survivor stops being portrayed as an abuser. ill stop when you stop writing ship fics (keep in mind if you do a x reader that counts) that directly romanticizes abuse and rape. (Intentional or not you are) i will stop when you shit on kids for having a go-lucky, smiling toby because they wanna have a boyfriend / big brother figure to cope. i will stop being angry when you stop making him kill his mom and blame her for toby's abuse. i will stop when this fandom accepts he's bisexual and stop hearing "why does everything have to be gay" from another cishet fan. i will stop when you all do

if i see any comment that says "kastoway said he's an ignorant asshole" i will fucking delete it because y'all use that a vessle to make him horribly ooc and an abusive asshole and you're missing the point of this entire rant

im not ranting about a cocky toby. im angry because y'all don't understand what makes toby scary

toby isn't a scary character in himself. but he shows slenderman's power. it shows how he can break a kid so bad. and you guys take that and say :3 toby said homophobe rights, says the n word (oh I've SEEN that) and rapes girls. him being rewritten doesn't give you a card to make him do anything

y'all compare? him to jeff a lot???

jeff did everything on his own. he's a natural selection kinda bitch. he's brutal and tbh he's like, the only pasta i can see being that nasty-brutal. but id never write an x reader where he rapes someone Jesus fuck.

the biggest difference between these two is that one cares and one doesn't. one willingly started killing. the other didn't. toby from the start never did it for his own want, but he thought it was. he was takened over. slender used his soft points to be used against him, ie lyra and hatred towards his dad

jeff got bullied and said "fuck this i said homophobes have rights" aka he 'snapped' and killed.

y'all pretend you know toby's character bur reality y'all look like this: 🤡 🤡🤡

"ghost ur bias"

you know what the fuck i am because toby's a giant projection character and one of the most important pieces of fictional work to me!!!!! i know everything abt toby!!!! nobody on this god forsakened app has dedicated years of their life anaylizing and picking apart every interpretation of toby and yeah there's stans here and theyre vaild and it isn't a competition but nobody here will understand how important he is to me.

ive said it before: he helped me realise i was trans. i cut my hair to look like him. ticcimask was my gateway to at the time, bisexuality and now being gay. these characters shaped me as a person. tbh, it wouldve took me 10x longer to find my identity if i never got interdouced to this fandom. kastoway created one of the most important characters to me.

i grew up with i guess the silly old toby. and i guess this comes from an unfair place bc i always enjoyed a goofy toby more than an asshole toby. i can't and never will grow too fond of a dick toby! but a broken, scared hollow kid? yeah, yea i would and do.

and now i understand why :3 we can't have nice things

also fun fact! David Near headcanons toby as a csa survivor so stop using his voice claim if you make him a rapist :3 you lost :3 your David Near rights

okay im done im so mad i might rewrite this to be calmer but rn you're getting this fuck the cops eat the government captalism is a flawed system

tldr; leave toby alone please he's gay can't count to 10 and doesn't know breeds of cars

edit: i know a lot of people also potray jeff wildly different and that's vaild too!!! this probably just applies for like. all of them

don't romanticize abuse basically thanks

[jaedaysix-blog]

lifeguard! mark lee

requested: yes

hi sweetie! thank you so much for requesting this! I’m so excited because mark is my nct bias and I really wanted to write something summery for him!! I really hope you enjoy ✧ magnolia

✥ For the most part, you enjoyed your summer job

✥ You worked the snack bar at your local town pool selling ice pops and cold drinks to all the kids and teenagers that hung out there

✥ And sometimes when your boss was in a bad mood, you cleaned the bathrooms

✥ The job wasn’t that hard, other than dealing with annoying middle school boys asking if you would “practice mouth to mouth on them”

✥ To which you would respond that you weren’t even a lifeguard with a roll of your eyes

✥ But all in all, it payed well and kept you busy during the summer

✥ And your coworkers were all very friendly and cheered you up when you were having a slow day!

✥ Your best friend at the pool was towel boy Johnny, he always cracked jokes and kept the spirits up when the pool wasn’t busy

✥ And if some of those middle school boys were bothering you he would always step in and tell them off for you, even if you didn’t need him too

✥ “Alright kids she’s about 6 years too old for you, keep dreaming”

✥ Which would make you laugh

✥ And then there was lifeguard Mark

✥ He mostly watched over the baby pool

✥ (Because he hated yelling at the kids who were running on deck or did belly flops in the big pool- he left that to Yuta)

✥ And you had never really talked to Mark, he seemed shy

✥ He mostly kept to himself and two other lifeguards named Jaemin and Haechan

✥ You two would just exchange the everyday “goodmornings” and “how are yous”

✥ But he was adorable

✥ (Just imagine mark in those bright red shorts and sunglasses with a line of sunscreen across his nose aw)

✥ He hated using his whistle because it scared the kids

✥ And speaking of kids, all of them loved him

✥ The children in the kiddie pool were always begging Mark to play with them

✥ And of course, when your boss wasn’t looking, mark would give in because he was such a sweetheart and had a soft spot for those kids

✥ The job suited him really well

✥ Especially on days like today

✥ It was the middle of July and one of the hottest days of the year

✥ The pool was so crowded, and you were exhausted from handing out all that sticky ice cream for hours

✥ Not even Johnny had time to crack a joke or stop by your stand

✥ Yuta was probably about to have an asthma attack from how many times he had to blow the whistle

✥ You’re pretty sure Haechan and Jaemin were napping in the break room

✥ And mark just looked plain tired

✥ But mostly everything was running smooth

✥ Until you heard that piercing scream followed by sobs overpowering the numerous conversations that were common on busy days

✥ Your head snapped up to see where the crying was coming from and most of the chatter faded away

✥ Your eyes landed on a crying child that had fell right in front of the kiddie pool, blood running down his little knees

✥ And you saw Mark run over to that child and scoop him in his arms

✥ Oh boy

✥ Despite being a popular place for kids to hang out, not many injuries occurred on the daily

✥ And this place was employed by mostly teenagers, none of you really had any medical knowledge

✥ All you had was a little first aid kit that you kept under your snack stand

✥ So mark carried the poor little boy over to you

✥ And normally mark was amazing with kids, but the boy in his arms would not stop crying

✥ Mark looked at you with a frantic look in his eyes, something that, had you not been in that situation would have made you giggle

✥ But now was not the time for laughing

✥ “Here hand him to me” you said gently while mark handed him over the counter “Tell Jaemin to take over the kiddie pool and then come back”

✥ Mark quickly nodded and rushed off to find Jaemin to cover for him

✥ You turned you attention to the little boy in front of you, he had snot running down his nose and his eyes were overflowing with tears

✥ Carefully, you took some napkins and wiped his nose and dabbed at his tears while talking to him in a soothing voice

✥ “Hey buddy, what’s your name? My name is y/n”

✥ He sniffled while you reached for your first aid kid, “M-Minho”

✥ “Well Minho, you took quite the fall, but don’t worry! I can make your boo boo all better!” You whispered while cleaning his cut out with water

✥ You hadn’t noticed Mark watching you until he reached over and grabbed Minhos hand

✥ “Squeeze Mark when it hurts, he’s strong he can handle it!” You said as you pulled out antibacterial spray

✥ Mark let out a light chuckle, relieved to see you taking control of the situation

✥ “Now this might sting a little bit but remember what I said about squeezing Mark” you cooed as you sprayed his knee

✥ You watched as Mark pretended to be in pain as Minhos tiny hands squeezed marks larger ones

✥ It made Minho laugh like crazy and complete forget about the pain in his knee

✥ “He’s not THAT strong!” Minho said as you put a race car bandaid over his cut

✥ “You’re right” you giggled, “You’re much stronger!”

✥ Mark looked up at you and pouted causing you to giggle more

✥ “Heyyy” he whined making Minho laugh even more

✥ You reached back under your counter and pulled out a popsicle and handed it to Minho

✥“There you go buddy! You’re all patched up” you said with a smile

✥ The bright smiles on minhos face grew as the little boy wrapped his arms around you in a hug

✥ and mark, not before flashing you a huge smile and mouthing “thank you”, picked up the little boy and brought him back to the kiddie pool

✥ Your little interaction with Mark just made him 10x cuter to you

✥ And after that day he always made it a point to come over and talk to you while he was on his lunch break

✥ Or before his shift

✥ Or just whenever he had time to talk to you

✥ But of course this caused relentless teasing from Johnny

✥ “It seems like Mr.Lee has taken quite the liking to you Ms. Y/N”

✥ “Oh shut up Johnny”

✥ “LOOK He’S LiTtErALLY STARING AT YOU RIGHT NOW”

✥ But Johnny wasn’t wrong

✥ You did notice Mark glancing at you sometimes, then his ears turning red when you noticed and tbh it made your heart flutter

✥ Even Yuta came over to ask you what was up with Mark

✥ “So like why does he talk to you all the time? I once asked him what time his shift started and he couldn’t even look me in the eyes”

✥ Yes Mark was shy, but man did that boy have a soft spot for you now

✥ 100% guarantee that Haechan and Jaemin were his person hype men, always encouraging him to ask you out

✥ They even told all of Marks other friends about his little crush on you so the rest of the dreamies all showed up one day just to stare at you

✥ And tbh you wanted him to ask you out already but you didn’t see it happening any time soon

✥ So after closing one day, you approached him, and sucked it up

✥ “Hey Mark!”

✥ “O-oh hey Y/n! I’m just finishing up here” he said as he folded some towels and placed them in the storage cabinet “what’s up?”

✥ “Do you want to maybe go see a movie sometime?”

✥ You were so forward that it shocked him but his ears did that cute thing when they turned red and a big smile broke out on his face

✥ “Yes, yes I would love that” he said giddily and you let out a breath of relief

✥ “Great” you said, matching his enthusiasm and smiling back at him

✥ (Making his heart flutter)

✥ “Hey if you wait around for a couple more minutes, I can walk you home?” He said, face even more red

✥ But you just smiled and lifted yourself onto the counter

✥ “That sounds perfect”

✥ (Little did you know that Johnny, Haechan, and Jaemin were all still there hiding in the closet ready to tease you two tomorrow fjdnbdbsja!!!!)

[softstraykids]

crush confessions with stray kids

chan

would contemplate on how to ask you out for hours

will first be like i should do something big in public!

because you deserve the absolute best

then realises its gonna be used as blackmail material from the other kids

so nahhhhhh

decided on something more simple

truthfully he wanted to do something a little cheesy

cause hey you deserve a sweet guy

chan would ask you help for a song 

while you protest you wouldn’t be any help

after persistent pestering 

you’d come over to his house 

you guys would be in his bedroom 

he’d then play the song for you 

chan would look nervous and trying to be chill but would be fidgeting a lot

and you kinda realise the song sounds completely done?

its of course bloody amazing like all of chan’s songs

and the girl he's describing sounds 

A LOT LIKE YOU

cue you melting cause sweetness overload

the song ends with 

“i like you” 

but chan sings it at the same time right in front of you 

and he has a bouquet in his hand of your favourite flowers

which appeared from nowhere 

before chan could say a word you just jump at him

no not that way

and give him a tight hug trying not to crush the flowers

“i like you too chan, i still can’t believe you made a whole song for me” you say disbelieving with how sweet chan could be

“i’d do it again in a heartbeat” he says earnestly hugging you back tightly

“EWWWWWWWW” you hear all the stray kids voices from the cupboard

chan opens it with a smirk

“eep” they let out

“um i hear my mum calling” changbin says dashing out

“i have a vocal lesson” woojin slipping past chan

“with me” seungmin pips up before chasing after woojin

“i have to deal with people swooning over my aussie accent?” felix says doubtfully trying to make up any excuse before leaving with chans glare on him

when felix accent is angels singing to your ears but guys you spend every day with speak with the same accent and voice, and you don't like them #logic

the rest just leave

but jeongin sneakily takes one last photo of the two of you 

because he’s the maknae and no one would ever hurt him cause he's a precious smol bean

are we talking about changbin now?

“where were we?” chan says with a smirk 

before giving you a sweet passionate kiss making your knees buckle

woojin

would be super sweet with his confession

it would be like a slow build up 

just to make sure his feelings are actually real and he can seriously like you

and also because he’s a soft shy boi

he would be your secret admirer

every morning would leave your favourite drink on your classroom’s desk

always with a small note

“smile! you look beautiful when you smile!”

“good luck on your test!”

just something really sweet

thankfully it wasn't naggy about confessing 

cause one of your friends had a secret admirer making her feel bad for being “too” beautiful perfect and all that bullshit 

she ended up crying once because of the guilt

but your secret admirer sounded perfect in all honesty

he always said the right things and he sounded so sweet and sincere

people would ask why you’re not trying to find out who it is

and you’re like

“chill first of all it’s my love life, second of all the guy can take his time and do it when he’s comfortable”

but the third secret reason is because you had a huge crush on woojin

and you had no idea how to deal with the whole secret admirer thing and your crush for him

you were just hoping and hoping it actually is woojin 

it was confusing 

then suddenly one day your note says to come early tomorrow morning

and you started to freak out and over think things

until you realised you just needed to go 

the next morning you put more effort into looking a bit better than usual

and as you arrive at school

you have sweaty palms, a racing heart and your mind jumbled in thoughts

you actually half jog half walk to the classroom because you were so curious 

you tentatively knock the door and come in

sitting on your desk with your favourite drink in hand was woojin

your heart died right then and there

he looked so nervous and shy 

“woojin?! you’re my secret admirer?!” you exclaim in surprise

“yeah i am i hope you’re not disappointed” he says half hopefully half nervously

“yes i mean no i mean i’m really happy you are” you ramble out

he gives you a beaming smile which makes your insides turn into pure softness

“one last drink, one last note” he says handing you your drink 

you read the note it said 

“i like you y/n, will you be mine?” 

you gently hug him he instantly returns it

“i’ve liked you long before you were my secret admirer so yes woojin i’d absolutely love to” you say while still hugging him

he hugs you even tighter as both of you smile happily 

then gives you a sweet forehead kiss to top it all off 

minho

would be pretty private with his confession

ask you to go to a cafe with him 

you of course agree

looks like ideal couple walking to the cafe

except minho looks like 10x better than you

effortlessly too

like boi gimme your magic creams

once you arrive he tells you to get a table

and just as you were about to tell him his order

he says to you with a charming smile 

making your knees want to buckle

“one hot milk chocolate, with no whipped cream, extra foam and a lot of white marshmallows am i right?”

“you know my order?” you squeaked out trying to controlling your heart beat to a normal level

because it is not everyday that your crush has fully memorised your drinking order

not answering he goes to the counter 

because he doesn't want to admit he’s been paying attention to every detail about you

because he’s head over heels for you 

minho comes back with your drinks

you ask him tentatively “minho why did you want to meet up?”

avoiding the question he asks you one with a bit of a smirk

“do you remember where we met y/n?”

your frown before realising 

it was this very cafe

“here? i spilled hot chocolate on you and then you refused payment for dry cleaning or a new drink then i finally got so mad at you i left the money and stormed out” you say with a chuckle

‘gosh you were so stubborn you still are now” minho says with a smile

“hey! i can say the exact same about you” you exclaim but totally not denying it 

“but minho you didn’t answer my question why are we here?” you say curiously 

minho takes a deep breath before telling you

“that very day when you spilled hot chocolate on me than stormed out me i fell for a girl” you heart sank at what he was saying totally not catching on

“that girl was you” he says nervously looking you directly in the eye

you look at him shocked before letting you a soft whisper of “me?”

“you” he says affirmatively 

“well this time I'm definitely not going to storm out angrily” you say with a chuckle

he laughs too 

you grab his hand gently and say to him sweetly and softly

“minho i like you too” 

then he gave you the brightest smile in the world

and a sweet kiss on the cheek

you two walked out there a few hours later hand in hand 

feeling like you were in heaven

changbin

would be very casual about it

not really even confession 

because he’s trying to pretend to be “cool and chill”

so in the middle of the conversation 

BAM 

“hey y/n do you want to go out saturday night?” he’d say like any other hangout

“yeah sounds good” you’d reply back with a smile 

but you would have no idea if it’s a date or not 

like he gave you absolutely NO SIGNS if it was

you contemplated with your friends on his wording for HOURS

like changbin save the girl you like the agony okay?

flash forward to saturday night 

and changbin is taking you out to bowling then dinner at a very causal restaurant 

still making you doubt whether it was a date or not

it was driving you crazy

though bowling was

intersting 

and heart fluttering

he helped you with bowling by doing the classic arm thing 

your heart completely stopped because he was so close 

it was kinda cheesy but you loved it

tbh you just really liked changbin

hey i don’t blame you who wouldn’t 

but it was great because by the end you were doing really good 

maybe even better than him and instead getting annoyed 

he was just super supportive and proud 

it was really cute 

by the end of dinner you shyly ask him

“um changbin was this a date?”

he looks at you like you were crazy and you started to doubt it was 

“i thought it was super clear i liked you and we were going on a date tonight”

he says confused and shocked

you blush bright red while replying 

“it wasn’t really clear at all” 

“well let me tell you now, i like you y/n, i like you a lot”

giving you a heart melting smile 

making you want to kiss him right then 

which you of course did 

hyunjin

hyunjin would probably fall for a girl who’s close with him

i’m thinking family friend? best friend? childhood friend?

but the whole friend zone doesn’t really get in the way

cause you two are pretty affectionate 

like giving hugs when one of you did well and stuff like that

but you two are SO CLUELESS about each others feelings 

like no matter how many people tell you, you guys do not believe it

so basically the only way y’all are gonna realise your feelings for each other

is if one or the other slips up

and since this is stray kids’s first confessions

hyunjin slips up

you guys are just chilling at your house

doing your history project

translation: procrastinating, eating, joking around 

and definitely not doing your project

*fast forward 2 hours and you guys have written your names on your project and done “research”*

you’re craving cookies and hyunjin wants to bake cookies 

soooo you end up baking cookies

fast forward to when you’re supposed to put the eggs in 

“WAIT WAIT I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING” hyunjin shouts just before cracking the egg 

he gets up the counter and cracks it up from there 

hyunjin still had no idea what was going through his head right then

of course he misses lands right on your head

he comes down from the counter 

you death glare him as egg is dripping down your hair 

then he gulps as he sees your “evil” smirk 

you take the whole bowl of flour and toss it at him making him look like a snowman

then he just completely escalated from there

melted butter, sugar, rest of the eggs, milk were flung around the kitchen

then you guys started to get other stuff

cereal, jam, spices, condiments 

hyunjin then grabbed your favourite pie from the fridge which your mum made homemade last night

if y’all don’t like pie idk cake cookies chicken wings?

“DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT HWANG HYUNJIN!!’ you scream

while he just smirks at you 

before he could even throw it 

you run to him and try to get your hands on the pie 

he turns too quickly 

and then suddenly you have your arms wrapped around hyunjin’s neck 

on the ground

noses touching, can feel each others breaths on your cheeks, and lips only centimetres apart

without even thinking hyunjin suddenly gives you a peck 

then his eyes widen and he’s like oh shit

trying to explain quickly “ireallyreallylikeyouy/nihaveforalongtimeandyoumeanalottom-”

“hyunjin i can’t understand anything” you say confused while your heart is hammering on your chest

hyunjin takes a deep breath then starts again

“i really really like you y/n i have for a long time and you mean a lot to me”

“MY PIE” you say loudly as you spot your pie completely ruined

me

hyunjin is looking at you confused 

so you try to explain

“well i can’t eat the pie anymore, while we have our whole future to date” you say sincerely and sweetly

“hyunjin i like you too”

then you properly kiss him 

and both of you couldn’t stop smiling during the kiss

jisung

i’d feel jisung would be the type of to be friends then ask a girl out 

so you guys would already be close 

but you both think you’re in the friend zone

so it’s probably just a casual friday night when the confessions come spilling out

you two just watching the movie on the couch

both of you desperate to cuddle but nooo

that’s crossing the invisible friend barrier you both idiotically put up 

author sighing at the both of you 

you’re watching the titanic 

it’s been three long but pretty interesting hours

but let’s be real you only picked this movie to spend more time with jisung

cause 3 hours is better than 2

of course you’re getting to the ending where rose let’s go of jack 

neither of you are crying just emotional 

i take that back 

jisung is trying to fight back tears 

and yup one tear slipped 

it’s really sweet he’s sensitive 

without thinking you brush the tear away 

you look at each other for a few seconds your blushes steadily getting redder 

and your face just centimetres spear 

then you totally miss your moment and go back to the screen

cue readers groaning trust me i’m with you but i’m also writing it lmaooo

you can’t help but blurt out 

“id never let you go like that she should of found something anything! she had a life jacket! and there was more wood nearby!”

jisung feels all warm and fuzzy inside with you saying that  

he asked you “so do you love me as much rose loves jack?” not meaning it to be romantic which it totally comes out as

“more” you say right back not realising your words 

then it slowly dawns on both of you 

and jisung asks you surprised 

“you like me?” 

“i really like you” you sigh out waiting for him to bolt 

“wait actually? i like you too y/n i have for ages” he says with a soft smile

“i’ve liked you for a few months” you admit before continuing 

“i thought you only saw me as a friend” you say happily

“i thought the same but apparently not” he said still beaming 

making your insides all soft and gooey 

“now where were we cuddling and movies right?” he says with a grin 

without saying a word he plays a harry potter movie 

wraps his arms around you in a comfortable cuddling position

and gives you a kiss on the forehead 

felix

would 100% be the type to slip up about his feelings

no matter how, when, what sort of confession he does 

tries to plan it usually to never doesn’t work out 

sooo you guys were at a party

it was hella crowded, music blasting all that 

you didn’t even want to come

seungmin, hyunjin and jisung forced you to come because they said you were being too anti social lately

they ambushed you and 

before you could say anything seungmin gave you a pair of heels and one of your dresses

then lightly shoved you in a bathroom saying you had 10 minutes to get ready

afterwards they dragged you to this party

you were chilling on a couch trying to ignore the smell of weed and alcohol around you 

you could tell someone just sat next to you 

if it was another drunk guy that was coming to hit on you 

you were ready to punch them to oblivion 

just as you put your hand up 

“WOAH WOAH Y/N NOT THE FACE NOT MY GORGEOUS FACE” shouted felix jokingly

“more reason to punch it” you said with a smirk but relaxing

felix huffed “here i thought i was going to offer to walk you home and you threaten punch me”

you brighten up before felix can say a word you grab his wrist and run out of the house dragging felix along with you

“damn you really wanted to get out of there didn’t you?” he says amused

“yup” you simply say

felix and you walk for a bit talking about how bad the party was

you shiver and rub your arms cursing seungmin not giving you a jacket

before you knew it felix’s jacket was around your shoulder

you look at him surprised

he gives you one of the heart melting smiles and just says 

“you looked cold”

“thanks” you say sweetly trying to hide your blush 

just as you two started walking again 

SNAP you hear one of your heels break 

‘shit can this night get any worse” you curse

“hop on” felix says crouching in a position for a piggy back

“wait are you sure?” you say surprised and nervous 

“of course” he says with another one of his smiles

you get on his back and he immediately starts walking

you can't help but blush at how close you two were

and felix was internally dying and screaming because so much physical contact 

without even thinking his words spilled out

“you know i always thought that i’d piggy back you when you’re drunk then you confess your feelings and the next morning you admit they were true and i would be over the moon because i like you too”

“shit did i say that out loud?” he asks half horrified half worried as hell

“you like me?” you squeak out in surprise

he sighs “yeah i do y/n i really wish i confessed more romantic than this”

“nah it’s perfect, i like you too felix” you say with a huge grin giving him a quick peck on the cheek

which made both of your faces bright red luckily you reached your house

“keep the jacket, you’re gonna steal it when you become my girlfriend right? since that’s what girlfriends do” he says to you with another of his heart stopping smiles

“goodnight y/n, dream of me” felix says cheekily and quickly plants a kiss on your forehead

“sweet dreams felix” you shyly say back but smiling brighter than any star in the sky 

seungmin

A FLUFF BALL

A CHEESE BALL 

but in the best way possible

would be the cheesiest out of the stray kids asking a girl out

probably would be a cliche valentines day confession

no matter how much you actively hate that day

it DOES NOT MATTER 

BECAUSE BITCH KIM SEUNGMIN IS CONFESSING TO YOU 

he would be super nervous about it

and lol stray kids

helping lol nahhhhhhh

half of them is like HWAITING 

the other half imma film this just for the rejection

since it’s valentines day school is pre lax

theres flowers love and single people’s depression and hatred in the air

single 4 life because writing fics creates unrealistic expectations of the guys around me

seungmin organises with your english teacher to confess to you during class

teacher totally supports it 

so you’re siiting in english class waiting for the bloody class to end

moping about how seungmin will never like you back

BOOM door dramatically opens

there’s changbin with the darkest expression in the world

but he’s wearing head to toe light pink while jisung and felix are pinching his cheeks and cooing 

whole class bursts into laughter while he scowls 

making sure he never makes bet with chan ever again 

but suddenly you hear seungmin’s angelic voice

he’s singing one of your favourite songs

one that’s romantic to fit the “mood” cause if seungmin bursts into a breakup song not gonna work hun

he has a bouquet of your favourite flowers in one hand and a box of your favourite chocolates in the other 

while you feel jeongin and hyunjin lead you out of your chair

you’re in a state of absolute shock and joy 

also disbelief cause wow seungmin’s doing all this for you

and your heart is currently beating at a million miles an hour 

all the girls in the class are either jealous as hell or AWWWW 

the guys are like well shit how do i top that

as the song ends

he looks at you with an extremely shy/embarrassed/adorable expression

“so y/n will you be my valentine?” he asks 

and you’re in the process of half dying and half hyperventilating 

then just like a huge rush of affection over comes you

you run to him and jump into a spinning hug with him with your legs wrapped around his waist

“yes! yes! yes!” you say 

cue everyone wolf whistling and cheering

jeongin

is adorable and shy and still pretty young 

he doesn’t have much experience 

but he’s liked you a lot for a few months now

and his hyungs always tease him when you’re around 

while you’re STILL not catching on

because hey you like him too 

and why the hell would jeongin 

the most adorable and sweet guy in your grade 

like you? 

not to mention he’s gorgeous 

and all the girls were talking about how much he’ll glow up 

then girls will be flocking to him like seagulls to chips 

australian reference aye AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI 

jeongin is from busan after all 

it’s in the water y’all it’s in the water 

so when he asks you out it’s gonna be because one of the stray kids guys let it slip that he likes you

*COUGHJISUNGCOUGH*

and he panics and freaks out because this is way too soon but also its been months since he likes you

literally runs to you the moment he found out you know 

and ends up confessing in the end 

“um y/n i’m sure you already know and i’m really sorry for making you uncomfortable but i really do like you i have for months but i didn’t know how to tell you and i completely get it if you don’t like me back i hope this won’t be awkwa-“ 

“jeongin i like you too” you say sweetly interrupting his endearing rambling 

“-rd wait what?!!” he exclaims looking at you in surprise

“i like you too” you say more slowly grinning with ever syllable 

“i can’t believe this i’ve actually never thought you’d like me back i haven’t thought this through what do i do now?” he says puzzled pouting cutely

“we’re going on a date this friday night pick me up at 6” you say confidently 

while he just gaped at you then nodded 

“bye jeongin” you say sweetly but cheekily give him a kiss on the cheek

making him BRIGHT RED but smiling his world winning smile back at you

How I’d do Naruto Next Gen

okok I’ve been wanting to do something more in depth and organised than my usual ranting about how everything is terrible now, so here we go! (though lbr this is just my usual ranting but 10x longer)

for the sake of brevity ha and my own piece of mind I’m not gonna go into how unnecessarily hetro the ending was and how everyone should’ve been gay and hey not every couple absolutely had to get married and/or have kids and also nart should’ve gotten the opportunity to realise that becoming hokage wasn’t necessary to achieve his real goal of becoming someone loved and accepted by others and he deserved so much better tbh and why isn’t sak just running the whole show and why isn’t there more sand sibs, bc let’s face it none of that was ever gonna happen, so these ideas are mostly built with the premise that all the canon couples stay canon and all the kids are still around and the product of those ships and the big plot things that happened (like nart becoming hokage and the like) stay roughly the same

forewarning bc else someone’s bound to say something; if you enjoy the next gen stuff? not a problem! that’s great, people enjoying stuff is a good thing! I wish I could enjoy more stuff, bc enjoying things is far more fun than not enjoying things! everyone has a different taste though and for me – and a lot of other people – the way that the next gen has turned out has been a disappointment, this post is for those people, so we can talk about why we think it’s failed and what we would’ve like to see instead, if you don’t feel that way about it.. well just scroll on past this post and keep enjoying the things you enjoy! have an absolute blast, you’ve earned it!

under the cut bc I am apparently incapable of keeping my rambling concise, there’s 2000 words of only vaguely coherent thoughts and tangents, so maybe get yourself a cuppa and a snack before trudging through it (some of this I’ve said in other posts before but w/e)

---

first off lets change some of the kids’ personalities, there’s nothing intrinsically wrong with any of them, but like….. 90% are carbon copies of one of their parents (and mostly their dads but I won’t get into that issue rn) which is ridiculous, bc personality traits aren’t genetic?? like my mum is super chill and sensible and my dad is short-tempered, but I’m an anxious mess and my bro is an anti-social control freak.. we didn’t get any of that from either of our parents

while it’s certainly true that you might be influenced by them (me and mum share a lot of interests and tastes), it’s not a hard and fast rule and I don’t find it realistic that EVERY kid takes after their parents, though I probably wouldn’t have such a problem with it if they were more a mix of both parents than just their dads, so here’s some potential alterations:

Boruto. good fucking lord, no, we did not need a clone of Naruto heading another series, if we wanted to see a rambunctious scamp who gets into trouble but loves his friends a whole lot and has a knack for giving inspirational speeches, then there’s already a whole 700 chap manga for that! one with a far more likable and interesting rambunctious scamp tbqh. so how about we make a few alterations, maybe instead of taking after Nart, Bolt takes a bit more after Hinata? a little quiet and a bit of a pushover, but someone who’ll quickly stick up for a friend and has an ease of communication that’s a bit more Nart? not shy so much as laidback and composed, maybe he isn’t all that interested in being a ninja too, like he’s quite skilled but is a pacifist and would much rather get a civilian job as idk a baker or gardener or something

Shikadai. only a few minor changes here bc I really do like the kid as he is, I’d just like to see him using Tema’s abilities too (and maybe also being just a bit more snarky and unyielding like his mum)

Inojin. I’m kinda torn on this one, bc I do like that he’s a lot like Sai (at least in the anime, he seems to have a pretty different personality from what little we’ve seen of him in the manga???), but I think it’d be pretty interesting if he was just not like either of his parents, maybe if he was very quiet and subdued, but also the mastermind behind all the kid’s pranks, has a mischievous streak that often shocks people, but his friends always love hanging out with him bc of it. also why doesn’t he have Ino’s powers? let’s give him Ino’s powers too

Sand Kids 2.0. ok so at this point we haven’t seen nearly enough of them to say much either way but I have negative faith in kishi and ike so I’ll just say that I want them all to be Gaara’s adopted kids (since it’s still unclear if it’s just Shinki or all of ‘em atm) and I want them to be exactly like this shameless plug for me and @spellfire01‘s versions of them which are the best fucking versions and I will protect my children with my life

now some changes to the original cast (this is where I’m gonna get proper bitter, prepare yourselves):

OH NARUTO MY POOR CHILD WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU I’ve already talked about this but let me just reiterate in as eloquent a way as I can; Naruto would never become a neglectful father. N e v e r. not after the childhood he went through, no matter how much work he had to do as kage, don’t dare fucking try and tell me that Naruto – "It's almost unbearable, isn't it… the pain of being all alone. I know that feeling; I've been there, in that dark and lonely place, but now there are others, other people who mean a lot to me. I care more about them than I do myself, and I won't let anyone hurt them… They rescued me from my loneliness" – Uzumaki would EVER neglect his kids. just fucking don’t. in this version Nart is a doting and involved dad (perhaps a little too much, to the point that his kids find him kinda exhausting and have to ask him to leave them alone sometimes) who sends his clones to work at the office while he hangs out with his family.. I honestly don’t know why he doesn’t already do that

let all the girls out of their houses to do some ninja work for the love of god

poor put-upon Shino-sensei is alright.. but we’ve already had that with Iruka, I’d honestly much rather see the Cool Sensei who keeps all the kids in line without even doing much of anything and has a knack for inspiring them and always has a line of students trailing after him asking to hear more of his awesome ninja stories and everyone always trying to show off when he’s around, bc Shino is literally The Best

have Sauce and Saku be divorcees. seriously, are even the people who ship them happy with how their relationship has turned out? they barely see each other and apparently it’s been that way since chap 699, so why not just have them split up? it really wouldn’t change much, just say that, at some point after Sarada was born, they realised that they were both gay incompatible personality-wise and they were both so busy with their individual work that there wasn’t much of a relationship to lose. not only would this be good for both their characters (there’s no reason they couldn’t still be good friends) and just more sensible all-round, but it would also be a nice way to show that not every childhood romance/first love works out and that’s perfectly fine and normal and they can still live happy, full lives afterwards!

speaking of Sauce, let him spend at least a little bit of time interacting with his friends and family in Konoha, even if he’s still mostly travelling around on important missions he should at least be taking every opportunity to visit his daughter when he’s in the area, seriously, c’mon

Temari got done so dirty in that one episode.. here’re some much better words than I could ever muster but generally I’d want her to be less the ‘scary, overbearing, harsh’ mother and more the ‘strict but cool and sneaky’ mother, like she’d honestly be the type to use reverse psychology and gentle manipulation, she’d make her boy do some seemingly meaningless task that somehow makes him have an epiphany and come back to her when he’s done like “I know what I did wrong now and I’m sorry” than just shout at him and refuse to make dinner (also I just really like to hc that she’s a terrible cook so it’s Shikamaru who does all the cooking anyway)

it’d be really great to see Hina either being the new clan head or at least otherwise involved in Hyuuga clan politics, so we could actually see how she’s working to destroy that whole slavery thing they’ve got going, rather than that plotline just being dropped somewhere around the end of the chunin exam arc and never picked up again (I mean I assume that it’s all supposed to be fixed by now, but that’s not the kinda thing that should happen entirely off-screen) and so we can see her life revolving around something other than Nart and her kids, she’s remarkably capable and had so much potential but she’s been denied every opportunity to really exist as her own character by the writers

Kiba…… what the hell is going on with Kiba? where is he? what is he doing? how’s he feeling these days? is he supposed to be married to that nameless cat lady we saw for a single panel? these are things we shall never know I guess. tbh what I’d really LOVE to see would be Kiba-sensei, just imagine him and Shino both being teachers who work in completely opposite ways, Shino is the quiet, inspiring, lowkey scary one and Kiba is the gigantic fucking dork one who cheers his students on way too loud and makes the classes super fun and joins in the kids games, him and Shino have a class rivalry and Kiba is constantly roping students into joining his attempts to prank Shino (they’ve never once succeeded but oNE DAY)

Ino should be the next head of Konoha’s intelligence division, I will fight kishi on this one

why the actual fuck is oroch still happily living it up in his penthouse lab?? kill the fucker. or at the very least imprison the fucker. just say that Mitsuki was an old project of his that somehow kept developing in his absence, or was a product of research carried out by some lackeys’ years after he’s gone, anything that means I don’t have to accept that everyone has apparently forgiven him for everything and knows that he’s still experimenting on kids but just don’t care

and on that last note: Justice for Yamato 2k17

right now let’s get onto the actual plot/story for this very self-pandering au

make Sarada the main char. while I can see why they would choose to go with Boruto, honestly Salad’s more interesting a character and! A Girl!! Main Character!!!! I NEED IT!!!!!! focus on her goal to be hokage and her struggles with her parents and follow up on that ‘restoring the Uchiha’ plot thread that just.. dropped right off the map somewhere between 699 and 700, her reconciling what her clan was with what she wants to make it

get rid of that weird demon-sensing eye thing that’s going on. and the demon thing in general. and also that jarring post-apocalypse future thing they’re building up. I didn’t slog through over a decade of kishi’s bullshit just so my kids didn’t get to live long, happy lives. make the plot just slice-of-life fluff, nothing more dangerous than a bully, just some kids trying to be awesome ninja in a world that doesn’t really need ninja anymore bc peace and all that

waaay more of Chocho, Himawari and Inojin (at least enough so they all get equal billing)

show how the ninja world has grown and developed since the end of the original series (not just technologically), what do ninja do now that there aren’t any wars and international relationships are at an all-time high? have missions completely gone from being combat and intel based to more about construction and assistance? are ninja numbers actually dropping, favouring civilian jobs in these more peaceful times? how well are people – ninja or not – adjusting to these changes? is learning ninja techniques still encouraged but in a way that’s more about culture and traditions than actual use in combat (in the same way that swordplay today is mostly practiced for performance, fun and sport, rather than out of any real-life practicality)? there are so many interesting things to explore that you don’t even need to be adding in new threats to keep the series entertaining

I’ve said this before, but I think it’d be really cool and cute if after the end of the war and with some drastic changes to the ninja world’s politics, this next gen is less about becoming ninja, than realising that they’ll never be ninja (at least not in the way that their parents were) and how they react to that. maybe they’re frustrated because they hear so many cool stories about the grand battles of the previous generation and they want to be able to do those things too damnit! so the kids are just going around trying to be super-awesome ninja in a world that doesn’t really need ninja anymore, picking fights and trying to make their boring d-rank missions seem more important and dangerous than they really are, maybe at some point they learn a bit more about how hard and traumatising that life was for their parents and why the world had to change, until they eventually decide that if the role of a ninja has to change, then together they’re gonna discover what that new role will be, what will being a ninja really mean in this new, peaceful world?

and, a final ending note: fuck ike’s sickening treatment of Sarada with regards to her sexualised presentation and the disgusting reveal that someone taught Boruto (a young child!) the sexy jutsu. Let The Kids Be Kids 2k17

Reaction to You Crying During Sex. . .

Anonymous said: Hey are you accepting requests?? I hope so 😰 if so, could you do a BTS, EXO, and iKon reaction to you (gf) crying during sex? Ah, also it's because it's so intimate. Not cause you got hurt. That happened to me one time 🙄 thanks Eonni 💖 Also please add Jungkook. i love him. I love your work as well hehe~. Please continue~

Reaction to You Crying During Sex [Smuty-ish??]. . .

[EXO Reaction Here >click, iKon Reaction Coming Soon. . .]

A/N . this is interesting, i think most would be worried that they had hurt you tbh. this is going a shorter reaction, just ‘cause most would be similar. hope that’s okay. enjoy Anonie! Requests are always open.

Kai Eonni ~

Namjoon. . .

He would be thrusting at a hard pace, when suddenly he notices the tears streaming down your cheeks. During sex or anything intimate, Namjoon would always be in tune to his girlfriend, looking for signs, so as to be sure not to be moving too fast, or hurting her. He would slow down his pace and watch your face closely while asking, “Are you okay? Should I slow down?”

When he learns that it’s just because you felt so much pleasure he would smirk, showing that cocky smile of his where his dimples show and lean down to kiss you neck, keeping his pace slow so you could feel all of him. “It feels good for me too baby.”

Jin. . .

He would have his fingers interlaced with your own, breathing hard into your neck, letting little whimpers past his partly open lips. Suddenly he hears a whimper come from you and backs away, stopping all movements when he sees your eyes filled with tears. “Jagi! What’s wrong? Did I go too fast? Do you want to stop?”

When you tell him it’s just because you feel so good, Jin would become flustered and chuckle slightly then seal your lips with a passionate kiss, continuing on with more confidence. Wanting you to feel so much more.

Yoongi. . .

Oh lord help you, you def will be feeling unbearable pleasure. He would be moving his hips expertly against your own. It would take sometime for him to realize that you were crying. He would be too involved to realize, but once he does, he would know why you were crying. He would just smirk and lean his forehead against your own, closing his eyes. “You feel that...” He would pant, pushing into you a little harder, those words being all he says as he brings you to your high.

J-Hope. . .

J-Hope would be putting his dancer hips to fantastic use. The room filled with his panting and whimpers. He would be another that would take sometime to realize that you were crying. However, as soon as he sees tears painting your cheeks he would jump off of you. Terrified that he had hurt you. He would crawl back over you and place his hands gently on your cheeks. “Jagi... Speak to me, what happened? Are you okay?” He would ask, his eyes racking you over from your head to your toes looking of any sign of injury. 

After you explain, he would laugh and say, “Ahhh, Jagi you scared me! I thought I hurt you.”

Jimin. . .

Your lips would be locked together, unable to separate, too infatuated with one anther. However, Jimin would eventually feel your tears as your cheeks brush against one another. Jimin would lean away and stare into your eyes while he brings up a hand to stroke your tears away as he slows down the pace of his hips. “Jagi sweetie, what’s wrong? Too hard?” He asks in a gentle voice that could sooth anyone.

Once you explain Jimin’s face would light up. “I love you...” He would whisper as he leans in to connect your lips to his once again.

Taehyung. . .

Taehyung would be holding you close, his arms wrapped around you as he moves into you as at a steady pace, his lips brushing your neck. You would whimper out a “Tae...” He would lean back, thinking you want a kiss when he notices your tears. He would pause, not pulling out of you, but looking at you shocked. “Did I do something wrong?” He would ask.

When he hears your answer, a big sigh of relief would leave his lips as he leans down to kiss your lips. “I thought I did something wrong...” He would push into you once again, leaving wet kisses up and down your neck, giving you extra affection for how sweet you are.

Jungkook. . .

He would be so scared when he notices tears spilling out of your eyes. The first thought to come to mind would be that he had hurt you in some way. He wouldn’t pull out, but like Tae, he would pause and hold himself over you. “Jagi... Jagi, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt?” He would ask.

He would move to pull out, but you would wrap your arms around his waist and explain that it just felt so good. He would smile bashfully at first, then would come his cockiness. “It feels that good huh?” He would whisper leaning down. He would place a quick kiss on your lips then trail down your neck, collarbone and to your chest while his hips snap into you, giving you 10x more pleasure than before.

The Exam

Best Music Moment of 2017:

Code: dancing out the entire wedding reception playlist with my best girl on an empty concrete slab on a breezy texas night

BC: -The absolute stellar dance party at Codemin’s Wedding; most notably:

     “Carol” by The Rolling Stones

     “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode

     “Crystal” by New Order

-OK Computer’s 20th Anniversary and the listening/reflection that came with it -My four year old, Emmett, learning “Maps” on the drums pretty much on his own

JD: February: Watching the “Emotional Rescue” scene in A Bigger Splash:

March: Seeing Stop Making Sense on the big screen at my favorite theater with m’gal and a David Byrne Q&A after the screening. April: The dance party of a lifetime at Code and Arden’s wedding. November: Watching Parquet Courts play “You’ve Got Me Wondering Now” for the first time in years.

C: "Born to Run" at a good friend's, Brian Ferguson's, wedding.

Nasty: This playing at the end of Leftovers Season 3, Ep 5 - "The Most Powerful Man in the World"

Bronco: Sitting on my back porch with Brenny, sipping down some delicious whiskey drinks and listening to the new Mastodon on a surprisingly unshitty Amazon bluetooth speaker. Watching his face on the breakdown in Jaguar God was quite entertaining. Also listening to the Squalus album (the metal interpretation of Jaws) with the kids, my oldest asking what it was, and him saying he wants to watch Jaws now. He was especially fascinated by the USS Indianapolis part of the story.

Laser: This 

Chap: My 17 has been dominated by the two new ladies in my life. I made this mix for them:

and played it for them on random the morning they were born. This was the first song that came on:

and I finally broke down with emotion after the 36 hour experience while holding one of them while this song was playing:

Best Shows Seen in 2017:

BC: This first 60 seconds of this:

Nasty: Future Islands & Action Bronson

Larse: Future Islands with Maddie, Nasty, and Sam; Action Bronson at The Rave - pretty sure I got a contact high just from being in the show

C: War on Drugs

Bronco: Mastodon

Codem: lvl up - beat kitchen kitten forever - subterranean downstairs ovlov - beat kitchen pqc - the bottle girlpool - logan square auditorium moving units’ joy division cover set - the bottle PAWS - cobra lounge a. savage - the bottle pictureplane

JD: 1. William Basinski and Julianna Barwick at National Sawdust 2. No Age at Elsewhere 3. Parquet Courts and B-Boys at Elsewhere 4. Liars at Warsaw 5. Deerhunter and Eleanor Friedberger performing while Bradford Cox painted her portrait onstage at Warsaw 6. LCD Soundsystem at Brooklyn Steel 7. Yo La Tengo in Central Park 8. Andrew WK at Warsaw 9. Vince Staples at Panorama Fest 10. Wire at Baby’s All Right 11. Vagabon at Brooklyn Bazaar

Confession of 2017:

Bronco: I listened to the New Kids On The Block offering of 2017 "Thankful" (it was fucking terrible).

C: Still haven’t listened to LCD Soundsystem

Code: -knowing the backstory, the mount eerie album was probably the best album i heard this year, but it was too dang sad to listen to more than a handful of times. -i still loved that brand new song despite the lead cat being a creep. -i thought that this year was pretty rough for music, but my tune changed after looking back through my top tracks.  maybe there were just so few full albums that i liked? -i fast fwd'd through every SNL musical guest this calendar year, but i did catch the tom petty tribute from the vegas countrymin. 

BC: I don’t hate that objectively awful Chainsmokers/Coldplay song because it reminds me of this year’s BOB since Creevey played it every twenty minutes for 36 holes.

Larson: Listened to more rap this year than I think I have in past years; must be Nasty's Lincoln influence!

Nasty: I listened to more podcasts than music in 17.

Biggest Disappointment of 2017:

Laser: LCD Soundsystem

Codem: -no chromatics this year. -the two lcd shows that i saw this year.

Chap: The albums. I would not be shocked if I didn't listen to any of my top 15 all the way through after today.

Bin: DJT

JD: Mondanile

BC: Real Estate.  I think they need to invite the perv back into the band.

Bronco: Bison, Monolord, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, And So I Watch You From Afar. They all put out albums this year, and I've like their stuff in the past, but they did little to nothing for me this time around.

Most Overrated of 2017:

Codem: slowdive, but also twod and japanese breakfast

Bin: Bodak Yellow / Cardi B

Larse: LCD Soundsystem

Bronco: -Pallbearer - just don't like the guy's voice, and though they're slow as shit, there's no good riffs or anything to connect with for me. -Code Orange - hardcore band that I just don't get. One of those 'motherfucker I'm the best!' type super close to being alt-right supremecy type bands even though they're probably completely against it. They're at the top of most metal lists this year. I've given them 4-5 spins, most in reaction to the praise they're getting, but I just don't get it. -Royal Thunder - just one big case of blue balls. All of their songs seemingly build toward a climax that never happens. It's just so blech.

JD: Did the music press even treat anything as a lasting work of art and not ephemeral content to get through a week or two of famous personality driven clicks? King Krule? 

BC: Lorde, I think?  I mean, that album’s gotten a lot of love this year and I thought the lead single – “Green Light” – was hot garbage. It spawned a conspiracy theory in my mind that Taylor Swift was proactively influencing and then purposefully sabotaging the work of her close friends (see Lorde, Haim, et al).

Make it Stop 2017

Bronco: Sex monsters. Can we just take all white dudes in powerful positions, assume they've sexually assaulted at least one person, imprison them, and move on? We could take everything they have, give it all to Native American tribes, then force them to walk their own trail of tears to live out their lives in the desserts of New Mexico, and force them to build the wall, but it would just be a wall around their sad sex monster reservation.

Also, Taylor Swift.

Nasty: I didn't have the luxury of expending any real hate on music this year... which I'm just now recognizing as a bad thing.

JD: -Unceasing sadness and anxiety about the present and future. -Jack Antonoff

BC: Life on this planet.

Code: any rap station that i hear in an uber. that cardi b song was playing every time i caught a cab at 5:30 a.m. to play golf.

Larson: U2

Biggest TBH Regret of 2017:

BC: Not seeing NIN at RiotFest

Larson: Skipping the Car Seat Headrest show at Summerfest because I could tell Maddie didn't want to leave Jonas' party (party was fun, so not a real loss, just wish I would have seen the show).

Nasty: Not even giving new artists a chance. I'll listen to an average album from The National 10x's before I give someone new a shot.

Codebreaker: not having an opportunity to karaoke badu's tyrone

JD: -Had the worst fever of my life during LCD and could only manage standing in the back shivering. -Forgetting to go see Dinner at Baby’s All Right. -Not enough time with Bjork, Miguel, and Blanck Mass. 

Bronco: Fucked up the family calendar maintenance and ended up not being able to see the Toadies and Local H. I was pissed at my wife, but it wasn't the end of the world. I haven't listened to either in forever, and the listen I gave to the Toadies latest offering didn't knock my socks off. It was really just for nostalgic purposes. Still it sucked to have to miss it despite my best efforts to bring it to her attention multiple times.

Detective Murtaugh of 2017:

NACK: I had two separate opportunities to see LCD, and just didn't feel like putting in the effort. Was going to put this as a regret, but I don't regret it.

Code: i skipped 7 shows that i had tickets for and left 6 shows early. two shows i left early due to brightness of lights.  mmmmmnhh

JD: Couldn’t hear for 18 hours after No Age. Needed two Tylenol for the headache I gave myself during “You’ve Got Me Wondering Now” at PQ Quartz.

BC: Having no idea who either the SNL host or the musical guest was for three straight weeks.  Tiffany Haddish? Saoirse Ronan? SZA? I’m too old for this shit…

Nasty: Carson, Maddie, Sam and I went to watch the IU game this weekend with one of Carson's co-workers (an IU grad) who is 23.... I got rolling on a rant about how important it is to enjoy your 20s because after the impending onslaught of weddings and babies life basically isn't any fun anymore. Suspect it was a little too impassioned by the end.

Bronco: I was enrolled in a three month coding bootcamp to learn Web Development. Aside from the two older ladies (50+) and the weird Brazilian idiot (45+), I was the oldest person in the room by probably an average of 13 years. They are all for the most part life-pivoting in to the dev world and they all have all the time in the world to learn new shit, do whatever they want, whenever they want...goddamnit I miss that. So maybe this is my "too married and fathered for this shit" section of the exam.

C: Wife’s Pregnancy

Laser: Every time I wake up with a fucking hangover and tell myself that I’m not gonna drink like that again only to get back on the saddle the next available opportunity.

Resolution for 2017 Update:

BC: Put a goddamn band together. How it went: 

C: Check out some jazz/blues in Chicago. How it went: FAILED

Larson:  Focus on the shit I really care about instead of trying to listen to everything posted on the thread…I’m just going to have to be honest with myself and realize I ain’t got time for all this media! How it went: Terrible; found myself listening to Timeless Pop Rock hits playlist more than anything else.

Chap: Check out more of the recommendations on the TBH thread. Try to organize get-togethers around TWO shows. How it went: Actually not bad. I had a few solid period during nap times when I didn't feel like working. I think I was able to listen to every album I wanted to at least once.

Code: make concerted effort to listen to music that i liked in previous years in addition to music from the current year. How it went: i nailed my resolution, as i devoted four full months to the grateful dead and it was the best musical trimester of the year for me. it was really interesting to watch all of the new music pile up and never once feeling compelled to listen to something else. god damn did the '77 version of the band have it all figured out. i could listen to any uptown mississippi halfstep toodeloo from that year at any time.

Bronco: Learn the guitar. I’ve been fooling around with Rocksmith (guitar hero with real guitar) and I want to push myself to execute the more complex chords, not just stick to the powerchord simple songs like Blitzkrieg Bop, and start learning how to build and execute a solo. I also want to distill my own whiskey, build a garden shed from scratch, and learn to code. How it went: I haven't quite mastered the guitar, but I can play a few songs fairly well. I did not start working on my own whiskey or build a garden shed from scratch...yet. But I did learn to code. I am now at conversational levels of fluency with Javascript and at "donde es el bano" levels with Ruby and Python.

Nasty: See a show in NY with JD. How it went: Not great, Bob! I barely made it down the street to see Action Bronson with Laser 

JD: Seeing more shows with you guys is an evergreen resolution. How it went: To quote BC,

Resolution for 2018:

BC: No more resolutions

C: Catch some jazz in Chicago

Laser: get my list in on time!

Chap: While I didn't have the occasion to catch shows this year, I anticipate doing so in '18 due to some changes afoot.

Codem: make more playlists for my wife

Bronco: Get in shape. I want to stick to a schedule of running all year round. I ran a 10K back in June, then needed to recover for a bit, been recovering ever since...Fat Dad needs to keep running all year round without excuse, especially given that we go skiing between Xmas and New Year's and I'm gonna be a floppy legged mess. During those runs, I'll try to listen to new material each time.

Bin: I'm just going to keep saying "get to NY for a show with JD" until I make it happen. 

JD: See you gents more often with or without a show attached. 

Most Anticipated of 2018:

C: MBV

JD: MBV, No Age, Panda Bear, something surprising

Code: chromatics (i think it's really coming this year), mbv, no age, DOM, CCFX full album

Bronco: Tool. Fourth year's the charm...fuck those guys. It better suck me off when it finally does come out. Also a new Sleep album and a new High on Fire album...still waitin' on those too.

BC: Simple Minds, Vampire Weekend, Kanye

Nasty: Kanye, ASAP Rocky, Rhye, Chromeo, Vampire Weekend

Chap: After a quick glance at the list... Vampire Weekend, Kanye, Chromatics

Larse: Honestly don't even know what is on the horizon, just hope I can listen to it with this net neutrality bullshit!
