ANIME & MANGA I HAVE BINGED IN THE LAST MONTH: May 2021

I've Been Hunting Slimes for the Past 300 Years and Now Ive Maxed Out My Level: incredibly long name aside, cute af slice of life that suffers Same Face Syndrome. I'm still happy to watch it because of how feel good and fluffy it is though, Im probably gonna forget about it in two or three years tho. 8/10.

Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro: I found out this was a webcomic first and suddenly all the HORNINESS made so much more sense. A Femdom, Degradation, Humiliation, Dacryphilia Bullies to Lovers story disguised as a high school rom-com which, I'm not going to lie, misses SKEEVY CITY by mere inches on a regular basis. However, I'm a Dom/Switch and this entire relationship sets off my dom brain center like New York City just shy of midnight. So if you're into that sort of scene, this anime is for you. If not, it's still fascinating but you're probably gonna be a little put off by how mean the Girl!Bully is to the guy MC. Unless you find out something about yourself, in which case, congrats! Stay safe, sane, consensual, and learn about the traffic light system on top of safe words, I promise you'll have a better life in general after that. Still Ongoing, currently 10/10.

Fruits Basket: IM GONNA CRY I LOVE THIS ANIME SO MUCH???? The original anime came out when I was in... I think middle school and my parents were really strict on what I watched so I never got to experience the first wave and I never bothered to watch the show ever after I moved out of the house years later. However, now that I'm much older I honestly can say this is one of my favorite anime to date, and all the characters are charming, lovable, with their own problems that I can connect to or sympathize with, and I love the MC which is always a treat tbh. Except Akito. Akito can suck a sandpaper dick. I'm only on S2 tho so no spoilers! Anime 11/10.

Monster Girl Doctor: went in thinking it was gonna be a monster girl who's a doctor with a homoerotic assistant (her name is SAPPHY okay sue me for thinking it) and ended up watching the entire dubbed harem series. Honestly, I've seen worse and this one has consistent follow-through on interesting characters and backstory enough for me to shove aside the blatant under-monstrousness of the female monsters and the harem-ness of everything else. Dubbing is honestly really good, which is a treat, and the monster designs are not the worst and the MC is tolerable. Honestly, I don't mind having watched it! The mix of cgi and the traditional animation together work pretty strangely though, and it often doesn't flow super well. 7.5/10

So I'm a Spider, So What: Dubbed version which honestly isn't that bad. Took me a bit to get into it, but after realizing that it's got a mismatched timeline a la The Witcher, it made so much more sense. Heavily done in cgi, and you can definitely tell between the 2D and 3D animations, but not the worst in the world. I went in not expecting much but it ended up being an Issekai I can stand and even enjoy. On god has a decent story... with the spider. I'd be a liar if I didnt say I skipped some of the human parts just to get back to the best part of the show. 8/10.

Somali and the Forest Spirit: I'm so fucking nostalgic for this thing it makes me want to go and hug my dad. About a human girl under threat of being eaten with a monster-dominated world. Very obvious "humans fear what they don't understand" message but instead of the humans learning tolerance it's what happens when they get annihilated first so like, kudos for the mangaka for having the guts to do that. I cried like a baby regularly. It's really good, I watched the dub and ID WATCH IT AGAIN!!! 9/10.

To Your Eternity: Oh my god. O h my g o d. Fell in love on the first episode, ngl. About if an immortal being learned how to be a person from scratch. I love it. HOWEVER. Keep a box of tissues on you at all times because you're gonna need them. I'm only on EP7 because that's all that's out right now but just know. I love it. Not for everyone but certainly for my "what do we define as human and the human condition" ass. 12/10.

Those Snow White Notes: A sports anime without any sports. About shamisen playing which is cool because I never realized how cool this instrument was??? Its neat af. OP1&2 are by Burnout Syndrom so know theyre fire. Gonna be real, its pretty alright, but not extraordinary. You can tell they were using the characters as archetypes rather than actually characters which kinda kills a lot of the emotional value you could've had, but I'm still gonna watch it. It doesn't make me cringe as hard as other sports anime tho so I consider it toptier in that regards but if you're a big sports anime fan you might be bummed out by it. Every single musical performance is INCREDIBLE tho. A solid 8/10.

Toilet Bound Hanako-kun: THE ART OMFG IT'S SO GORGEOUS. Listen, if you took coptic markers and gave them an animation budget with some manga panel direction thrown in there, that's this anime. It's beautiful. Gorgeous. I'm in love with the aesthetic every second. Story? Really good. Characters? I love the MC and his evil little twin brother asshat. Demons? Not super imaginative but I'm carrying on happy as can be anyways. Dubbing? A bit shaky at times but I found the voices charming if a little off for some of them. I'm already waiting for the second season with popcorn at the ready. 10/10.

Prison School: I watched this directly after Hanako-kun and it was like I got slapped in the face by sweaty unwashed titties and some fedora wearing schmuck's piss kink. No character is likable or redeemable. I finished it, but at what cost? 2/10 and only because a character shit his pants and I laughed.

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle: watched this right after Prison School and it was NECESSARY tbh. Its so CUTE and honestly, im not even kidding you, the fucking funniest anime I've seen in months. I watched the dub and the VAs are having the time of their lives working on this anime not just giving it their all but literally just going ham. Its great. If I read this im sure id be bored outta my mind but the VAs giving it a joyous performance make it an insta fave for me tbh. 9/10.

Sk8 the Infinity: i watched the dub with my bro and I can confirm that its a spectacular show because we both loved it and we have vastly different tastes. Incredibly SUSPENSFUL AND STRESSFUL for an anime about skateboarding but we finished it in a single sitting tbh. The last episode is not dubbed for some reason but we still loved it. Like if Free! was less obnoxious but the only fan-service here is Joe ♡ a beefcake who owns my lesbian heart. I think there's exactly one named female character tho and I legit couldn't tell you what it was if there was a gun to my head. So, over all, 9.5/10.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: I'm going to be entirely honest, I went in thinking it was going to be a boring isekai of no value. I was right about the Isekai part. It was honestly pretty interesting and focused on nation building like you're playing civilization rather than the usual "Get Stronger" narrative or "Get Some Pussy" narrative most isekais take which is delightfully refreshing. Granted there are flavors of that in this which means it doesn't alienate the big isekai watchers out there, but it's not the whole dish and it doesn't make me want to cringe the same way others do. You've got a slime MC just vibing and building a nation of monsters nbd. Does lose points for making the female monsters more humanoid than their male counterparts but makes them back by only doing perfunctory fan-service and nothing that makes me want to cry... except the butt sumo episode but in fairness it was all a terrible dream. Literally, the MC refuses to dream anymore after that. solid animation, decent voice acting, decent story, made me realize how HUGE this is in the Light Novel community???? There's like 18 fucking novels and that's WILD. 8.5/10.

MANGA:

Spirit Photographer Saburo Kono: a one shot special by the mangaka of The Promised Neverland! Honestly a really delicate touch of both super creepy and really touching, and I'm not gonna lie I'm bummed that this isn't a bigger project but the single chapter makes it a good taste for their style. I've been wondering if I wanna read/watch The Promised Neverland and now I think I will. 10/10

Deranged Detective Ron Kamonohashi: from the mangaka of Hitman Reborn comes this Sherlock and Watson derivative! Not even 20 chapters out yet with a sort of spotty schedule, I honestly love it even thought it's exactly as you expect. HOWEVER. Kamonohashi the "Sherlock" character uses mental pressure to kill all confirmed murderers and it's up to Toto the "Watson" character to save all those people before Kamonohashi kills them! It's just recently introduced a "Moriarty" family of crime lords (not a big spoiler don't worry it was obvious) so the tension surrounding Ron's past is amping up rn. Personally, I think the art is GORGEOUS, the characters engaging, and the story quick enough to keep my interest. Most mysteries are solved within a chapter or two so you're not stuck 20 chapters into one locked room mystery which is just peachy tbh. RN, 10/10. If this gets an anime, I anticipate a legion of fangirls who ship the two main characters along with their many friends. I've been alive too long to believe otherwise.

Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro: Yeah I read the manga after I watched the show. A slower build than the anime, but it works for the format, if theyd done the same with the show then I don't think it wouldve done as well. Honestly? Cuter tbh but just as horny. You dont start really LEARNING about your character until like, chap 65 tho and no real "drama" happens until like 75. A good chunk of the chapters are like 8pgs so its a breeze to get through. I love these slow burn idiots of the century. 9.5/10 because you can DEFINITELY tell the mangaka does hentai too.

Yugen's All-Ghouls Homeroom: one-shot by the mangaka for Food Wars, it's no wonder there's this constant perviness from the MC, a guy who can see and exorcise spirits. Takes place at an all girl's finishing school with KICK ASS monsters tbh, kinda bummed its not longer. The MC? Blatant monsterfucker who is also a CONFRIMED monsterfucker???? Idk i vibe with that single emotion. Everything else is hit or miss. 7/10 for monsters and cool concept, lost points for the MC very pointedly being okay with admitting he'd wait for the teenagers to be adults tho. Creepy af. Could live without that.

Hell's Paradise: I finished the entire 127chps in 3 days and I was really enthusiastic about it 90% of the time thinking about how deep it was and then I actually thought about it and I ended up being very neutral about the whole thing tbh. The art is fantastic tho, but DEFINITELY deserving of the M rating. Tits. Tits everywhere. But not tits to be ecchi over, no, monster hermit tits on beautiful women-ish figures. Now generally I give that a pass but a huge theme in the story is that men and women are "no better than one or the other" but like, lady tits are what you see 99% of the time. Men tits are few and far between. I call bullshit on most of the "deep" themes is what I'm saying, so it's like the mangaka was trying for those deep thoughts but missed the margin a little too far for my preference. That being said, the MC is a married man who loves his wife which automatically makes him my favorite character so like... idk so many good things, so many misses, but overall really spectacular themes and imagery. Unique but classic all at once. It's getting an anime and I have NO IDEA how much censorship they're gonna be doing but they're going to be doing SO MUCH. Oh yeah, and one guy is a plant/human hybrid who fucks a 1000 year old plant-hermit which makes him a canon monster fucker. And one canon non-binary character who I, a nonbinary, actually like. So like... gosh I've got mixed feelings. 8.5/10.

Choujin X: From Sui Ishida, mangaka to the mega hit Tokyo Ghoul comes this brand new manga!... Of one chapter, lol. Not really binge-y because it's just the one chapter out right now but I'm already keeping my eye on it. The grasp on anatomy in the art is PHENOMENAL and you can see Ishida flexing his art skill which is great. Can't give a true rating but I'm giving it a tentative 9/10 because I'm excited to see more.

Shag&Scoob: technically not a manga, its an ongoing webcomic I binged an subscribed to in one day and I just think it deserves more attention. Starts off funny with "what if Scooby Doo had a gun" and has been led to "what if all cartoons are aliens that survive and receive their powers by the humans that love them in an epic war with Martians." On god, its good. I finished the current series in a couple hours so it's a breezy read, highly recommend it. 9/10.

To Your Eternity: Yeah I watched the anime and then finished all current 143 chapters in like 3 days. GOD IM WEAK. I don't buy physical manga unless I know I want to remember the story forever and I'm already budgeting for the current books out. Yeah, this is a good series. That being said, definitely not for the faint of heart or those who suffer under common triggers like suicide, molestation, death, etc. It's all framed as bad and necessary to the story don't get me wrong, but it's there and has lasting affects on the characters. Incredible story telling by the creator of A Silent Voice. Keep tissues nearby at all times. 12/10.

#i've been killing slimes for 300 years and maxed out my level #don't toy with me miss nagatoro #spirit photographer saburo kono #fruits basket #deranged detective ron kamonohashi #yugen's all-ghoul's homeroom #monster girl doctor #so i'm a spider so what #somali and the forest spirit #to your eternity #jigokuraku #hell's paradise #choujin x #shag and scoob #toilet bound hanako kun #prison school #sk8 the infinity #that time i got reincarnated as a slime

Twin Pogues of the OBX - 6

A/N: Shortest part yet, but I promise more is coming tomorrow and I just couldn’t bring myself to figure out a good stopping place other than here :)

Warnings: underage drinking, cursing...I think that’s it for this one?

Word Count: 2.2k

Masterlist

The next morning, you guys took out the HMS Pogue, before realizing the only way you could figure out the location of the wreck and with it, the gold, was to get access to the internet and plug in the coordinates.

Of course, with the power out on the Cut, there was no way you could get online from home. JJ worked as a busboy at one of the fancy hotels on the kook side, and offered to let you guys in.

As always, the familiar warmth of the sun felt nice on your skin. Somehow, after the events of yesterday, it felt like forever since you guys had just hung out on the boat—tanning, swimming, drinking.

You felt uncomfortable today, uninterested in your usual bikinis and shorts. Instead, you borrowed one of your brother’s long-sleeved shirts, usually saved for the winter, and pulled on some faded, worn skinny jeans over your bikini bottoms.

Of course, Kiara noticed, giving your ass a friendly slap as she asked, “What’s with the fit today?”

You threw an arm over her shoulder, hers circling your waist as you walked towards the van. “I just wasn’t feelin’ it today.”

“You’re gonna get real hot, real fast. It’s breaking 100 today.”

“I’ve got my suit under. If worse comes to worse, I’ll just strip down to that.”

“Suit yourself.”

It was rare that you felt insecure. You weren’t ashamed of your physical appearance, no. It might’ve been the realization that your dad had intentionally abandoned you that had shaken you so much. You were feeling vulnerable already and being exposed all day would be a physical manifestation of your fear.

You were quieter than normal, but the pogues didn’t question it, noticing the opposite in John B. It was as if last night had given your brother purpose, something concrete he could actually put his mind to, rather than wonder for days on end.

Once inside, you guys had found out it was about 900ft down, almost off the deep end, but reachable. Though not totally legal, the pogues hatched a plan to ‘borrow’ the drone from the salvage yard that JJ’s dad used to work for.

You asked if you could sit this one out, and, taking one look at your defeated figure, no one disagreed. “I’m going to go and try and write for a bit today, alright?”

You had been a part of a band with a few kids from school, scoring gigs here and there to scrape in whatever money you could. It allowed you a living while doing something you loved at the same time. You were thankful for it, and for Kiara’s dad, who made sure you knew that the band was always welcome to play at the Wreck and earn something for the time they performed. Part of it had to do with the fact that the band always improved business, people staying longer for dessert just to hear you play one more set, but part of it was that he just liked you. Though you were just as crazy, if not crazier than the other pogues, it was easy to see that you had an idea for your future and that’s all that Mr. Carrera ever wanted for his daughter. Though the band had broken up before the summer, with both the drummer and the lead guitarist having graduated high school and moved out of the outer banks for college, you still wrote from time to time. It was your own sort of therapy, the cathartic ritual of trying to reach somewhere within your mind to actually create something.

Kiara grinned. “Yeah! You should definitely come down to the wreck later tonight; it’s karaoke night!”

You assured her you wouldn’t miss it for the world.

John B gave you a pat on the back as you exited the van. They dropped you off at the Chateau and drove off, JJ shooting finger guns at you and making you smile.

You spent the day at the Chateau, working through your songs and nursing a rare bottle of old wine you had managed to hide from the others underneath your bathroom cabinet.

You contemplated the last few days, not just about how unloved you felt by your parents, but also the growing thing between you and a certain blonde haired boy.

You smiled as you strummed the guitar that your brother had given you for your thirteenth birthday as you remembered when you and JJ had first met.

The third grade was hard enough without a twin brother that radiated energy, leaving you looking like the evil twin who lived in the shadows and collected the limbs of barbies in different containers. Which you did, but you didn’t expect to be so ostracized for it.

You were alone that day at recess, walking across the black top with your arms hugging yourself. Your dad had done a poor job of helping you with your hair, leaving it a stringy mess across your back.

Suddenly, your face met the ground and you groaned, turning your head to see a halo of gold behind you. You blinked quickly, pushing yourself up to see a blonde boy with crooked teeth apologizing profusely.

“Dude! I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to, this guy—”

You noticed something in his hand. A Gameboy?

Behind him, a pudgy boy with a sweater vest and khaki shorts was quickly approaching and you soon understood what was going on. So this blonde little boy was a thief?

On instinct, you grabbed the gameboy from the blonde boy and shoved it in your backpack as his attacker came running up.

He shoved the blonde boy to the ground and shouted. “Where is it? You took it, you thief!”

Furious at the violent treatment of the blonde, even though he had stolen, you threw yourself at the bully, your nails scratching him.

In the end, all of you got in trouble, but when you walked to the bus that day, you gave the blonde boy the game boy and invited him to your place, where you had your own. He gave you a wicked smile, before giving you a big hug and a sloppy kiss on the cheek. “Thanks, pretty. I’m JJ.”

You didn’t know why, but you had always been protective of the boy, without a single good reason. He had always hidden his best qualities, but maybe some part of you recognized a part of yourself in him instantly. A kindred spirit of sorts. A hotheaded mess that was awful at suppressing his emotions but didn’t know how to deal with them any other way. A boy that would do anything for his friends. You didn’t know it at the time, but you found a mirrored version of yourself in that nine year old boy, and you brought him home with you.

At sunset, you gave up on your songwriting. You had made little progress anyways, instead heading to the Wreck as you promised Kiara.

When you walked in, the pogues were already shoving their faces happily after a long day. Kiara gave you a huge smile and beckoned you in to hear what had gone down.

You gave JJ a kiss on the cheek for no reason at all, and he blushed, quipping, “Hey, wifey!”

You pulled your brother and Pope in for a big hug, feeling nostalgic after your lingering thoughts of childhood memories today.

Before the pogues could comment on your drastically improved mood and sudden need for affection, you suggested that you all get started on karaoke before downing a beer, getting all of them excited.

You danced with Pope John B’s awful, fast-paced rapping of fifty-cent, but that was the point of karaoke, you guessed.

Pope twirled you, before grabbing your hands and pulling you towards him, shaking his head in a silly fashion. You threw your head back and laughed, catching JJ smiling at the sight from his seat.

You continued dancing with Pope as Kiara kept vibing on her own a few feet away. She finally had enough of John B’s voice and stole the microphone from him, replacing his screeching with her gorgeous velvet tones as she began singing her go to — Come and Get Your Love. You watched as JJ finally stood up, striding over shyly, with his hands shoved deep in his pockets, raising his eyebrows at you in question. You let John B whisk Pope away as you pulled JJ to you by his forearms.

You turned around, letting him cage you from behind as you swayed within the comfort of his arms. John B and Pope were waltzing beside you, making you chuckle.

JJ sang softly to some of the lyrics, so low that you barely heard, only catching some when he bent close to your ears. “What’s the matter with your mind...And you’re mine, and you look so divine...If you want some, take some.” You tried to keep down the goosebumps, but of course, you failed, the fluttering of emotions you always tried to bury making its way up your throat. Or was that the alcohol?

He dropped his head to your shoulder, smiling as his hair brushed your collarbone. “You smell nice.”

You furrowed your eyebrows and turned in his arms. “I haven’t even showered today!”

JJ shrugged. “You always smell nice.”

The beer made you giggle, “Do I? Are you getting soft on me, Maybank? You dance and sniff girls’ hair now?”

JJ scoffed, before saying. “Soft? Me? Get outta here, Trouble.” He added smoothly, “And it’s only your hair I sniff.”

You wrinkled your nose. “That’s a little stalkerish, don’t you think? Should I be concerned? C’mon Bear, you’ve gotta live up to your rep.”

JJ shook his head, pulling you back towards him so that you were chest to chest, forced to wrap your arms around him to keep your balance. “Fuck that, just dance with me for fuck’s sake.”

You felt Kiara’s eyes on you, smiling as she moved on to another song.

Eventually, you got tired and let Kiara pull you away from the guys for a breath of fresh air.

You walked across the beach, arms crossed over your abdomen. Kiara kept looking at you with that teasing smile and you finally had enough. “What?”

Kiara shook her head. “Nothing, just, you know it’s kind of obvious? You’re so thick headed sometimes, but you clearly –”

“Have feelings for JJ?” You finished for her. She looked at you in surprise as you turned back to the waves. “I’m not so thick-headed. I know what I feel. I’m not stupid.”

She nudged your side, giggling. “Well, he’s really feeling you, too. Like all the butterflies and shit, I swear.” Kiara gave you jazz hands, emphasizing the jittery feeling of a crush.

You smiled. “Yeah, I know.” You knew JJ liked you. You knew it in the way he was always looking out for you, no matter what was going on or what he was doing, his focus was involuntarily always on you. Even your own twin brother didn’t pay that much attention to you. There had always been a tension in the air between you two, a sort of understanding of mutual attraction. It weighed heavy, not just in the air, but on your shoulders, on your heart. Because you knew that you couldn’t let anything come of it.

Kiara stopped, holding your elbow to keep you from walking any further. She looked confused. “Then why don’t you do anything about it? The rule’s bullshit, anyways.”

You took a deep breath, looking at your friend with heavy guilt as you tried to put into words why you knew that it was a bad idea. “Because we’re so similar. Neither of us have our heads screwed on right. We’d eventually destroy each other. And the worst part is...After the chaos, I wouldn’t have my best friend to help me pick up the pieces.” You shrugged. “I figure if there’s one time in my life I’m going to think before I act, it’s with this. Because this is one of the most important things in my life and I know there wouldn’t be any coming back from that.”

Kiara opened and closed her mouth multiple times, before finally asking, “But what if it works out? What if you create something beautiful?”

You laughed in denial, your throat tight. “It wouldn’t, Kie. It kills me to say it, but I know myself. I can’t be what he needs. I can’t bank on what ifs, anyways.”

Kiara pulled you towards her, wrapping you in a warm embrace. She looked behind you at the guys, who, from the looks of things, were beginning to get suspicious of you guys.

You and Kiara began walking back. Right before the two of you were within earshot of the rest of the pogues, Kiara took your hand and said to you, with complete surety, “For the record, Y/N, I think you guys are being idiots. You were lucky enough to find something real and you’re throwing it away. Because what? Because you’re scared? I just—I just don’t get it.” She scoffed, shaking her head as walking back inside, leaving you back at square one, wondering if you were being foolish and cowardly.

Thoughts journal Ninjago season 13!!! 🤩🤩 (3/4)

I am enjoying the season A LOT. The reveal has been thrown already, everything seems to be leading towards something special about Rock Mom and I couldn't hope for something better!! I know Lou will be back so I guess a flashback?... I'M SO EXCITED 💕💕

Alright, let's start!!

DUNGEON PARTY!

Side note, we're past the season and no Nexo Knights reference. Me sad, but me not quitting like ninja!! 💪💪

Korgran of METALONIA?!?! WHERE KARLOF COMES FROM!!! Oh you just love to feed me with good throwbacks, now do you Ninjago crew 😍

Plundar the thief, yeah, the attire gives it away although it is nice. And Fungus... huh... well that explains the mushrooms on the hat I guess 😅

Yep, there we go, a party of adventurers, the DnD situation promised 👈👈 He said loot, I saw a 20 faced dice, nice nice

In these recent seasons adventurers just won't like to do adventures for one reason or another, first uncle Powers, now these guys? I mean Ninjago is in danger every freaking time and you risk your life at every step and there's a new formidable villain every like five seconds but... huh... what was my point again?

THE ANIME STYLE IS BACK 😂😂 Oh boy I can tell we're in for a train to crazy town

I'm thinking this dude looks a lot like He-Man... of course he does, the HECK, am I noticing this just now? 😑

I do agree with mister Korgran's father reluctance about talking like that (I saw too many anime characters like that 😂), but Karlof uses the third person too. Either it's common in Metalonia, or there's a general lack of education there 😅 (I LOVE METAL BOY I MISS HIM 🖤🖤)

Talking axe that doesn't talk, nice 😂

Okay... okay, I need a moment

This is too cute. I know her head is a bit too big but LOOK AT THEM 💛🤍💛🤍 Has Chompy never grown?... wait he did got big that one time... okay... okay, never mind

Well that's a pretty nice party, you got your barbarian, your magic user and your rogue. Kinda misses a healer but still... tomorrow I'm doing a DnD session with my friends and I wanna sound like I know stuff 😂

I just noticed that I haven't seen hidden trap doors like that since Chen, the ABC of villains right there my friends 👆

So the King didn't become evil just because of the skull, he actually wished to obtain it and use the dark power. I get that he wants to defend the city but he is basically remorceless about everything else, so he is guilty. Also DRAGON ABUSER 😡

Poor Vania, but she overcame her Skylor situation very quickly. Proud 💛

There we go with the encouragement, you go Rocky!! We have a crazy Skull dude to turn into dust!! 👿👿

Wait, a promise he made a long time ago? Rock mom?

DUNGEON CRAWL!

ROCK MOM!!! YAAAASSS!!! FINALLY SHE'S HERE!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Oh holy FSM, my heart 💔

MY HEART HURTS SO MUCH. Cole as a kid, Lou is back, Rock Mom IS SICK AND WILL DIE, all the drawings, the picture of them together 😭😭

I cannot, freaking, this kid doesn't want his mom to be sick and he's gotten into troubles at school and she wants him to fight and be strong and right and SHE HAS HIS SAME EYEBROWS 😢😢😢😢😢😢

This scene was really heartbreaking, such a genuine situation with a kid that wants her mom to be fine and proud of him 🖤

Just looked at her VA and it's Erin Matthews 🤩 So first I'm counting it as a Nexo Knights reference just because MACY AND ROBIN ❤🖤❤🖤 Second, wasn't "the mom" going to be voiced by Jillian? Is it... is it Maya? Is she coming back? MAYBE NEXT SEASON??? NYA SEASON?!?!? 🤯🤯

Oh, we're moving on? So... so there's still the stuff about Rock Mom's past to uncover, still unsure if she was the one of the blades for the two tribes

PLUNDAR WE DO NOT DISRESPECT COLE INTO THIS HOUSE VANIA MY GIRL YOU ARE SPEAKING FOR ME TOO 💪💪

The connection between Cole and his mom is the earth itself, I'm loving this concept so much. It's true that he never found himself this deep into his element before, the Caves of Despair were mines but never this deep. This really is rock bottom... HECK YEAH

Well Cole...

Welcome to the colored eyes because of elemental power ninja team!! 💚❤🧡 (without counting the forbidden scroll moments) I LOVE WHEN IT HAPPENS!!! I'M GETTING SO PROUD AND EMOTIONAL!!! I'M PROUDOTIONAL!!! 🤯

Aww, Cole saving his son sensei, very nice. They did save each other a lot 🤷‍♀️

This place reminds me a lot of the Fire Temple where Kai got himself into trouble in season 1 but then saved Lloyd, one of my favorite and most memorable episode of the show... I'M TOO NOSTALGIC RIGHT NOW LET'S MOVE ON

NEVER MIND COLE IS TAKING CHARGE LIKE OLD TIMES HE IS FINALLY THE LEADER AGAIN I'M GONNA CRY ROCKY I'M SO HAPPY YOU DESERVE THIS 🖤

Wu's spinjitzu!! Always nice to see it 😊 And yes Adam is a good boy, and for my arachnophobia is a little freaky saying it 😅

Ah, good Plundar, Cole needs all the appreciation of the world because HE IS SUCH A GOOD PERSON AND AMAZING WARRIOR AND I LOVE HIM AAAAAA

This is probably my favorite episode for now, got Rock Mom, got elemental powers, got a lot of Cole in all of his glory: the leader with a clear smart mind able to lead even strangers, with big heart for what's important 👏👏

I feel like this season is giving him glory, I'm curious about how it will end!!

GRIEF-BRINGER

Okay I know it's the name of the dragon... and it gets me a little antsy 😅

Back to the munce! Still doing as good as ever I see! 😅 And lol, you can't blame Nya for not being nice Jay! Although she is kinda best friends with Ronin who double crossed her multiple times... okay, I see your reasoning Bluebell

There we go, Nya making them listen. I honestly could have seen her just grabbing one of them and make them fly through the the room, still cool though 😎

Back to the geckles! Also doing as good as ever! 😅 These little purple guys are so dang cute, seeing my flame babe trying to lead is so PRECIOUS, and even more PRECIOUS is Zane giving him support... and a rock in the face 🤍🤍

Gotta say

I'm more and more fascinated by their culture 😂😂

Aww little Gleck, everything had started with him after all... wait... HER NAME IS LILLY?!?! ROCK MOM HAS A NAME!!! AND SHE IS GILLIE/MILLIE!!! I KNEW IT!!! 🤩🤩

I think I saw the name somewhere, didn't think it was actually her. I always headcanoned her as Gaia, but Lilly is a very sweet name too 💕

It is pretty nice that even though we as viewers didn't know what happened to Lilly, the ninja knew. It's obvious, they've known each other for so long, but still. It feels nice to see this 😊

Oh-oh, Skull dude is up to something... and he said the title 👈👈

Zane keeps being the sweetest thing ever created, le cute dude 🤍🤍 Never thought I'd see Tin Can and Hothead discussing about lies while two slugs race each other...

I don't know if it's the new animation but the armored suits look CRAZY GOOD, the metal and the details are awesome!! I approve the suits of this season 👍

Pff, they are talking down his sister, if he knew they would be literally toasted 🔥

HUG HUG BEAUTIFUL LEGO HUG!!! And she lifts him up, omg the Smith siblings are back and they are so CUTE 😍

Yep, only he can talk down his sister... and possibly be annihilated right after 😅

Oh, the dragon that almost destroyed the two tribes... OH THE DRAGON THAT ALMOST DESTROYED THE TWO TRIBES!!! 😱😱

NO GUYS DON'T LEAVE LLOYD AND ZANE BEHIND, THEY ARE THE MOST PRONE TO SACRIFICE THEMSELVES 😭😱😭😱😭😱

The cringe Kai, the cringe never leaves you alone you beautiful idiot ❤

I cannot believe the animators managed to make Lloyd's LEGO hair swoosh, I must applaude them 👏👏👏 Also POOR BABY ON THE GROUND GIVE HIM A VACATION FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

Well aren't things getting even more complicated 😅 Where is Cole? We need season superstar pronto!

MASTERS NEVER QUIT

Awww, major throwback to the show's most famous motto right in the title! NINJA NEVER QUIT!!! LET'S GO THEN!!! 🤩

The upply team! With the lava beast back... I could easily make comment about how it could be a representation of Cole's feelings since it's LAVA with EARTH and FIRE, and he is running from them... I'M JUST RAMBLING MOVING ON 🖤❤🖤❤

Cole misses the Caves of Despair maybe, he wants to have a round with the carts like in Possession 😂 Was that why he knew it was going to work eventually? That would be histerical, especially since back then they all almost fell into the lava 😅😅

The Heart of the Mountain? Secret temple of the masters of Earth? Possibly hidden in Shintaro? Spinjitzu Burst? Wu, let me ask you this... just in case... is there... perhaps...

IS THERE SOMETHING YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD US??? 😡😡

He is definitely and officially old, only reason why he keeps forgetting to warn people about stuff 😑 I mean, it's not major like with Morro or Aspheera, I guess it's an improvement?... kinda?

So you learn spinjitzu burst if you're surrounded by your element, that sounds pretty awesome! I wonder how it could be with all the others, this can open up kinda like a quest for the true potential but with different places and lots of OP powers and I'M INTO IT 🤩🤩🤩

Okay season, I get it

YOU WANNA MAKE ME CRY 😭😭 I love this aztec vibe, so cool and appropriate she looks STUN 🖤

I didn't expect this much introspection about Cole, I thought it was going to be kinda last minute like with Jay in Prime Empire. I'm so thankful it's not like that, freaking yes. YES. GO COLE BURST OUT!!

... okay, take your time sweetie, no rush. The other ninja are just going to be fried but eh, happens all the time 🤷‍♀️

VANIA MAH GIRL 💕 I understand Wu, I mean the guys kinda learned all they needed already back when they started to train Lloyd. Ever since then, they had been not master and students, but just family. And you always need family, no matter how far you go 🖤

Awwww, Wu! You got your own development too! 👍 So nice to hear "ninja never quit" again, can't be too sure but it's been a while 😍

Let's hope the guys are doing fine resisting while Team Cole arrives 😎😎

You Better Watch Out | Dakota & Erin

TIMING: A few days after Christmas PARTIES: @dakotasgrant & @corpse–diem SUMMARY: Thanks to the town’s magic going awry, someone on the naughty list crashes Erin and Dakota’s movie and dinner date. CONTENT WARNINGS: Teenager death, Medical blood tw (mentions)

A Nightmare Before Christmas horror movie special was most definitely up Dakota’s alley. She’d always loved horror films, even back when she was a kid and her parents fell asleep on the couch while she watched The Exorcist and shit like that. She didn’t normally like doing things with people she didn’t really know, but that’s how you make friends in the world. And who said being friends with people meant they had to be close? Regardless, it was hard for her to say no to Erin based off the horror film factor alone. Plus, well, she seemed nice enough (and also not pushy enough) to hang out with while keeping at an arm’s length. Plus the prospect of dinner after a movie with this person didn’t sound awful… Especially when she was the one who had, once again, flirted her way into this situation. So, she showed up at The Nordica, maybe a few minutes early, and waited for Erin -- and yes, yes she had ordered a large popcorn to share. With butter.

Erin never minded her own company. She’d grown up the only child of two busy morticians and entertaining herself for hours on end was just… normal. Even into adulthood. The last year had changed something about that though. Maybe it was finding some souls she didn’t mind filling some time with, the multiple near-death escapades, but here she was actively reaching out to people she didn’t even know to go see a movie. Like none of the things from this year had happened. Like she could just pick up and carry on a normal life. She had to try at least, right? Why else had she survived if not to try? Dinner and a movie. She could do this. Have herself some fun with an attractive, smart woman. That was normal and healthy. Just have fun - she was sure that’s what Marley would be suggesting after gleefully teasing her for the attempt. If they were talking, at least. Another thing she didn’t want to think about right this second.

When she approached The Nordica, she kept an eye out for the description Dakota had given her as she purchased two tickets--she’d asked her out here, after all, right? Erin glanced up to see an older couple bickering as they made their way through the lobby. It was hard to miss, or hear, rather.

“I don’t even want to see this damn movie. What’s with you and horror movies anyway? And what the hell is a Krampus?”

“Then just take a nap, Harold, I don’t care what you do.”

It was hard to hold back the chuckle as they passed, slipping past her into the theater. Her eyes glanced around when she made a lucky guess on a dark haired woman with a tub of popcorn. “Hi… uh, Dakota?” She asked, giving a small wave. “If you’re not Dakota, I’m so sorry but I’m Erin? Erin Nichols?” She offered, a friendly smile on her lips, holding her hand out. “Nice to finally meet you, maybe-Dakota.”

Dakota didn’t really know what she was getting herself into when it came to Erin. She seemed normal, and the concept of the night truly did sound like a typical thing to do with a friend. Watch a movie, eat some popcorn, small talk. Dinner afterwards. But Dakota was quickly realizing that the more time she spent in White Crest, and the more people she spent time with in White Crest, the more wild everybody seemed. With Marley, she’d dug herself into a shitstorm of crisis. Morgan made her question what the hell she knew about blood as well all physical, organic, biological happenings—which, that reminded her, that she should probably ask the medical examiner about what’d she’d seen. But all of that was just to say that she’d realized that whoever she talked to here in White Crest always had her confused in one way or another. She chalked it up to either everyone in this damn town was ass-backwards, or she was. Erin had approached her at just the right time, though, because the more she thought about it, the more worried she got that this woman would end up being a fucking crazy person. But the moment she thought about taking the bucket of popcorn and hightailing it back to her place, the woman appeared right in front of her. Erin. Erin Nichols. “Oh, uh, yeah. Dakota Grant.” She’d shook her hand, and then awkwardly tilted the bucket of popcorn in her direction. “Real butter. I thought you said something about loving this place’s popcorn. Plus you bought the tickets, so.. I thought I could at least buy the snacks.” And they’d probably arm-wrestle for the bill at dinner.

“Oh, so you were listening,” Erin smirked, cheekily plucking a few popcorn kernels from the bucket. Nodded approvingly as she chewed. “Mmm, yep. Just as good as I remembered. I don’t get over this way as often as I usually like so this is a treat.” She held one in the air like a mini-toast. “Hope you enjoy,” she added and chomped on another, pulling out the tickets for the movie. It felt weird now, standing here in front of this stranger, trying to pretend she was normal. She was. In comparison to more than half of the people she knew, she was on the normal side of that sliding scale. From what she knew of Dakota so far was that she was a quirky CSI that wasn’t hard on the eyes. Maybe just her brand of weird enough to get along with. “Krampus is the only thing playing right now. Hope that’s alright with you,” she smiled and handed her the ticket. Tilted her head, nodding towards the hallway that led further into the theater. “Ready when you are?”

“Believe it or not, I’m a great listener.” Well, so far, so good, right? Dakota had to think that Erin couldn’t be all that crazy if so far all she did was eat some popcorn and ask if Krampus suited her fancy. Which.. Well, at this point in her life, she was just so happy to get out of her house and talk to someone that it didn’t matter what they watched, because Dakota would have gladly sat her ass through some sappy rom-com if it meant not having to be alone wracking her brains about a case or.. Well, worse. Truth be told, she actually really liked Erin already just based on the fact that she owned a funeral home—and, given that this get-together didn’t end in awkward words or sliced fingers—she was already planning on asking for a tour. It didn’t take them very long to find their seats and get situated. They were early enough to not miss previews, but it seemed like the place was practically dead anyways, which Dakota would prefer so she could talk a lot of shit about the movie in real-time. “So.. You’re from White Crest, then?” she asked, popping a few pieces of the buttery goodness into her mouth.

Erin slunk into her chair--outdated ones that probably hadn’t been replaced since she was in high school herself. They were tiny, only barely reclined and were more likely to be found around a stage theater than in a movie theater. “Born and raised. Pretty boring stuff,” she nodded, growing more comfortable. The theater was on the emptier side, which she had planned for. One of the perks of growing up here was that she knew exactly what times this place would be dead. “You said you recently moved here?” Propping her feet up on the empty chair in front of her, she reached into the bucket to grab a handful for herself, munching one at a time. “What in the world brought you here?” She asked, trying not to sound judgmental and held as much of a curious, getting-to-know-you vibe as possible. “I just mean, you know, I’m glad you are! There’s just... not much here, even though it feels like outsiders are rolling in by the busload. I just don’t know the draw.” That wasn’t entirely true. Erin had learned what exactly that draw was but she didn’t know if Dakota knew what it was.

Erin seemed so.. Laid back. And maybe that’s sort of what intrigued Dakota about her, because she was so fucking wound up all the time that she didn’t know what it was like to just… Lean back, eat some popcorn, and chill the fuck out for a few minutes. But, like she’d said, she was born and raised in this town, and that had to be some pretty boring stuff—although she didn’t really see how that could be boring when Dakota herself was investigating scenes left and right, yet nobody seemed to be surprised by that. But, of course, she then wanted to know what brought her to this place, of all places on the map, and the only person she’d ever told the truth to was Morgan. And, to be fair, a movie theatre didn’t seem like the best place to spill her guts. “Just needed to get out of the city. I grew up in Detroit—like you, born and raised. It’s a big city but everyone knows everything about everybody like it’s a small town. So… I picked a town that seemed the most boring, packed up all my shit, and.. Well, sayonara.” The previews were just beginning to show, and of course a lot of them were old reels that probably nobody bothered to change before showing a movie, and there was a sort of nostalgic easiness in that. “I don’t think there’s much of a draw. Maybe the schools, the cool bar scenes. Me personally? I threw a dart at a map and made the decision.” Half-truths aren’t still considered lies, are they? “So you’re telling me in all your time living here there hasn’t been one crazy thing that’s happened? Clearly it’s not all boring.”

Erin could understand that feeling--wanting to get out, get away. “Good for you. Sometimes you just need to get away from it all. You know? Start fresh. I get that. Really.” She’d almost done the same thing a year ago, when she’d gotten to the point where she thought she’d reached her breaking point. It was almost laughable how low that bar was at time. “Crazy? Here?” Erin visibly grimaced at Dakota’s last question, a hint of a smirk that let on more than she was probably willing to share at the beginning of a blossoming, normal friendship. “Well--no. Okay. It’s not all boring. It’s actually not boring at all. For small town standards, anyway. I mean, you heard about that tornado in the common the other week right? Or that huge sinkhole that swallowed up some buildings?” She popped a few more pieces into her mouth before point a very serious finger Dakota’s way. “I know I’m going to sound nuts saying this, and I hope I’m not the first person to warn you, but stay away from the mimes. They’re an actual fucking menace to this entire town. I don’t know how they’re still allowed but you’re better off walking down an alley on Amity Road alone at night than approaching one of those fuckers.”

Dakota arched her brow as Erin talked, though for the most part she was just listening. She had heard about those things—the tornado, the sinkhole. But those were natural disasters that could happen to any town. Erin did get a little intense when she started to talk about the mimes, which made Dakota laugh—actually laugh. “Nobody’s warned me about any mimes, and I’ve never seen any, but when I do, you’ll be the first person I tell. Fair?” she asked, finally relaxing into her seat a bit more and popping pieces of popcorn into her mouth. The theater was still fairly empty save for a few people scattered around, and the previews slowly came to a close as the opening scene finally started. Dakota didn’t think that this was going to be a formal movie watching event, so while her eyes were still on the screen, she kept the conversation going. “Didn’t you say your funeral home burned down or some shit? What was all that about—electrical fire? Arson?”

Erin sat up at Dakota’s laughing. Oh, no. She thought she was joking. A fair immediate assumption, she supposed. The fact that this was something she had to warn people about was reasonably humorous but the reality absolutely was not. “No, I’m serious!” Still, the infectious laugh that shook her own shoulders couldn’t be helped. “I’m serious. Okay? Just--be careful. Don’t you dare say you weren’t warned.” She didn’t know how to emphasize that anymore without making it seem even weirder than it already was. She tried, at least? Of all the phobias she thought she’d develop, this wasn’t one of them, but it still had nothing on the fear that struck her at Dakota’s last question. Dakota, the crime scene investigator. She nodded, her eyes stuck on the movie as the opening credits started. “Yeah, it did. They couldn’t determine the cause, so they had to label it as an accident. They think it was the faulty wiring. It was an old house, it makes sense, I guess.” She shrugged, trying to move past it quickly. “But it’s almost rebuilt. Thankfully the whole place didn’t go down.”

A jump scare almost got her--almost, but she played it cool, blaming the slip up on only half paying attention. Not everyone was so lucky though. The older man in front of the startled, the same one from the lobby, making good on his word on his nap. Erin didn’t pay too much attention when he muttered something to his wife, eyes wide and fearful, like he’d woken up from some sort of nightmare. “Harold, shush, it’s just a movie--” she heard his wife say, hushing him quickly, eyes never leaving the movie. He grumbled and said something else before settling back into his seat.

Her eyes flicked back to the movie--and yep, there he was. Krampus himself, ready to scoop up one of the family members. Something shadowy seemed to move behind the actual screen but she chalked it off to the old movie reel or the old theater itself. “I’m, uh--surprised you weren’t on the case for that one. You’ve been in town… how long again?” She asked, unworriedly snacking and drank a heft sip of her water to wash it down. “Do you see that?”

Well, at least Erin had warned her. It was weird, because she’d lied about never being warned before. In fact, this was probably the third or fourth person in this whole town to warn Dakota about the mimes and she still didn’t know what the problem was. The French street performers didn’t scare her, and neither did the shadow that passed in front of the projector. She thought nothing of it, and nothing of the old man muttering in his sleep. If she were being honest, Erin was probably the only person she’d laughed with so far, so she was far too busy trying to keep conversation alive to care about the shadow moving behind the movie screen.

“I could have taken it, but uh.. Ya know, I was on leave. Not.. Real leave, I guess. I just sort of shut myself out from the world for a few months, no big—” Do you see that? And Dakota did, in fact, see it. A large shadow moving behind the screen of the movie… Normally she would have brushed it off, determining some employee was back behind the screen for some reason, or a projector malfunction, but… The silhouette didn’t look.. human. “I, uh.. Yeah, what the hell is that?” She wondered, both aloud to Erin as well as to herself. It didn’t take long for shit to hit the fan, though, because there was a loud ripping noise, and when Dakota looked up, there was a giant slash in the silver screen, and a beastly looking… What the fuck is going on?

She was stunned, though. Stunned enough not to know if she should be scared or amused, or if Erin knew what the fuck was going on. But regardless, she was definitely stunned still, frozen in place. “Erin… Please tell me this is part of the movie…”

Erin would have preferred to continue the conversation--she would have preferred just about anything than what was currently unfolding in front of them. Screams ripped through the small theater, the loudest coming from the teenagers who had managed to sneak into an R-rated movie up in the front row. Christ. She couldn’t even get through one night, one night, She popped up in her seat, knocking over the popcorn between them. “I don’t know, I don’t--” A roar bellowed louder than anything in the room, followed by the slash of the staff in the thing’s hands. When her eyes adjusted, they landed on the horns sticking up from the top of his head. The movie continued to play, flickering over the behemoth in the most eerie light.

She froze when her eyes locked onto the shadowy figure. It was Krampus. The Krampus on the screen was the same one ripping through this goddamn theater. She didn’t have time to even think about the how’s or why’s of it. God damn fucking magic was the only thing that crossed her mind, over and over. Just reached into her bag for the hefty knife Nic had left her, and the same one she brought with her everywhere in this stupid town, thanks to situations like this. “We gotta go,” Erin managed, starting to guide Dakota up. And she was about to run for the exits, let someone else deal with this, when one of the teenagers let out a blood curdling scream. Krampus was going for the kids. Of course. Of course. “...Fuck,” she cursed under her breath. Glanced at the exit one more time, glanced at Dakota, then back to the violent scene at hand. Someone was already helping the teenager who had been slashed but the thing was going after someone else. “You should go,” she nodded and ran over to help.

Dakota would have preferred just about anything other than whatever the fuck was happening. She would much rather enjoy her pseudo-date with Erin rather than witnessing the traumatizing event unfolding right there in The Nordica. But she couldn’t think about what she wanted, even if it was light banter and orange chicken at The Red Dragon. Especially not when there seemed to be an actual monster standing in their presence. In her whole adult life, she’d seen a lot of horrific bullshit. Bloody scenes, cruel murders, victims practically mauled to death in front of her eyes—but nothing terrified her more than the events unfolding right here, right now, at this very moment. At first, she believed it was just some prank or some weird theatrical spin on Krampus—god, how badly she wanted to believe that still—but it was probably the way Erin tried her best to get her out of her seat, the soft-spoken We gotta go, and the blood-curdling, terrifying scream ringing in her ears that convinced her more than anything that this wasn’t a joke, nor was it a performance, and if it were, she was never speaking to this woman ever again. A critical decision had to be made, and she had about three seconds to choose between fight or flight. It was weird because she didn’t necessarily feel her legs moving, but she knew she was following Erin into the chaos unfurling. She didn’t quite know exactly what she was doing, but she knew she needed to help the kid on the floor, despite the other person being there. She tried to help stop the bleeding, she heard herself yell for more help, but it was fucking everywhere—she’d seen loads of blood before, but Jesus Christ, it was fucking everywhere. Dakota would regret what she did next for rest of her life, probably, but she left the kid with the other strangers trying their best and ended up at Erin’s side, not sure exactly what the fuck she was doing, but was ready to do what needed to be done. Amongst the mayhem, someone had pulled the fire alarm to alert authorities, and Dakota found herself fighting to be heard amidst the noise. “You gotta plan?!”

A plan? Erin’s eyebrows shot up, not just from the shock that Dakota was still here, but that she was actually looking to Erin as if she had any idea what she was doing. There was a palpable ire from the small crowd garnered from the slashing of a young teenager. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise. There was enough in this town that fought the townsfolk. Eventually there became a point when people just became pissed. As Erin watched the scene unfold, it became clear this was the case. The monster was roared, only just a little louder than the cut of the staff through the air as it swung--and often hit the other patrons. Blood splattered across the ripped screen. “Don’t die?” She offered to Dakota, though immediately regretting her choice of words. Her heart clenched at the pain in the poor kid’s face. She brushed his hair back, feeling the cold sweat building on his forehead. Fuck. He wasn’t looking good at all. “Can you get him out of here?” She asked, hopeful that there was still time. That anger in the room filled her and she found herself standing, moving to join the crowd who was doing anything they could to fight back against this monster that mirrored the one still playing on the screen behind them. It would’ve been comical, with the way purses were being slung, drinks were tossed in its face, trash cans rolling under their feet, if there wasn’t a very real threat of death with every swing of its sharp staff.

The Krampus creature shrugged off the few people around them, focusing on the woman he’d slashed, now crawling away a few feet from them. “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” she grumbled between grit teeth. With the monster’s back to her, she gripped the knife in her hand and booked it. The staff was in the air, ready to slash the woman on the ground again when the knife dug in between it’s shoulderblades. It roared, dropping the staff, immediately jerking and throwing Erin off of it. It howled in pain, growing desperate and angry. One of the patrons managed to kick away the staff, earning a swipe from the creature that sent them into a row of seats. The knife was still sticking out of his back as he set his eyes on Erin, who was scrambling away. The other woman was bleeding but she’d managed to pull herself somewhere safe.

Fight or flight. When presented with something that instills fear, stress, anxiety, or anger, the amygdala sends a distress signal. What did Mr. Fredericksen say? Right—amygdala, hypothalamus, adrenal glands, adrenaline. The hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system, and then the automatic nerves haul ass to the adrenal glands, which then respond by pumping a shitload of epinephrine—Or adrenaline—into the bloodstream. Textbook.

At the end of the day, it was all textbook. It all boiled down to physiology—just a bodily reaction that occurs when in the presence of something that is mentally or physically terrifying. The last she checked, Dakota had never seen a fucking… Whatever the hell this thing was. And she also never stood in a crime scene before it was finished being made. So...Terrified? Understatement of the goddamn century. She tried not to think about it too much, though. The specifics of it all. What the creature was, the point of entry...because the more thought she put into it, the shakier her hands became, and it was really fucking hard to pick up some lanky teenager and drag their nearly-lifeless body somewhere relatively safer when your hands were shaky. It didn’t really matter, though, because she’d seen a pool of blood that size before, and spoiler alert—the vic’s never made it out alive.

It all just… It happened so fast. One minute she was trying to stop the bleeding, the next she was asking Erin what the plan was. In a mirage of memories, she could only assume that she’d started dragging this kid out of the way moments before the roar. She hadn’t seen, it all happened so fast. The staff, though—she heard it clang to the floor, a grunt and then a thud, and by the time she looked back, Erin was on the ground, scrambling away, just.. Jesus, they were all just fighting for their goddamn lives. Fight or flight.

She didn’t think. Dakota didn’t have the capacity to think—a trauma response working itself out in real-time. One minute the staff was on the floor, just far enough away from the beast to maybe grab, and the next it was in her hands. She let out the breath she’d been holding for what felt like an eternity, and like ripping off a band-aid, she’d charged towards the beast, using its own spear to impale him—steak right through the heart.

Erin barely rolled out of the way of the creature’s huge swipe radius in time to earn a shallow gash along her arm instead of her stomach, where the thing had originally aimed. She was waiting for the next blow, hands covering her head as if it would help--but it didn’t come. Another roar shook the small theater and when she looked up, she heard the squish of flesh and she was greeted with a gush of blood. When the creature fell, pathetically and angrily squealing on its way to the ground, she saw Dakota standing there. Had she really just delivered the killing blow? Her eyes shot up, finally realizing how hard and fast her heart was pounding in her chest. So much was happening, and still happening, that her mind was still trying to catch up. That’d just happened right? A fucking Christmas monster had just… hopped out of the screen and attacked them all, right?

A few others were poking the creature beside her, making sure the thing was finally, actually dead. Multiple prods confirmed it. “Did you--was that you?” She asked, and after a short pause, followed up with, “Are you okay?” She was a little bewildered and little something she couldn’t quite place. Impressed was a good word for it for now. She held her hand out for Dakota to help her up. “Fuck, is the kid okay?”

As soon as she’d jabbed the weapon through the beast’s flesh, Dakota stumbled backwards just a few steps, breathing heavy not so much for the effort, but more so due to the rush of it all. The commotion may have stopped once the monster had collapsed to the floor, but there was still much to process. If you would have asked her how she expected tonight to go, she couldn’t have made this shit up in her wildest nightmares.

Silence rang in her ears despite the noise happening around her. It was like white noise—she knew Erin had said something to her because she saw her lips moving, but she was crashing from the adrenaline, and shock was now beginning to sink in. Reaching down, Dakota grabbed Erin’s hand and helped her up, brushing her off and even instinctively checking her over for any more serious injuries. She came to the conclusion that she had a laceration on her arm, but the rest of the blood stat soaked her clothes and painted her face had to of been either from the kid, other people who had been harmed, or the beast’s.

The kid. That’s when her hearing tuned back in. “I.. Don’t know.” It was an honest answer to two simple questions. Was she okay? I don’t know. Was the kid okay…? “No, um.. No, he’s not. The gash was too deep. Abdominal aorta, I think...? Definitely hemorrhaging,” Jesus Christ, she just witnessed a kid die. “He was probably dead in under two minutes.”

There was silence, and then there were sirens. Officers were on their way to collect statements and paramedics were dispatched to collect the victims and tend to those needing medical attention. Looking back over at where the monster should have been laying only to see an empty space that a puddle of blood now occupied, though, forced a pit in her stomach to open up and swallow her whole. She didn’t even process the information at hand before she had mumbled something along the lines of “let’s get the fuck out of here,” grabbed Erin’s unscathed arm, and started tugging her towards the exit.

Erin felt her entire body sag at the news. The kid was dead. Fuck. It always hit a little different when there was a kid involved. More than a decade of dealing with tragedies like this never made it easy, not even for her. The thing--Krampus?--wasn’t even there anymore. It was dead presumably, gone for sure, but there wasn’t even a body anymore to vindicate the kid’s death. Magic. She didn’t know how or why this thing had suddenly appeared but the only explanation for it was fucking goddamn magic. A new surge of panic filled her when she heard the sirens in the distance. “Shit,” she muttered. The last thing she needed right about now was another unexplainable run-in with the police with another dead body. Erin nodded wordlessly, running almost solely on adrenaline and fear at this point and followed Dakota out the doors. Didn’t even feel the shallow slash on her arm, more concerned with the sirens growing louder behind them and Dakota’s state of mind. Which, from the looks of it, was frazzled at the absolute very least.

Only once they were piling out into the parking lot, the cold air was smacking them back to reality, did Erin finally take a long, wavering breath. She didn’t even know how to approach this. Usually Erin was the one getting smacked with something like this, left flabbergasted and traumatized. And while she was both of those things, she felt a little more prepared than how Dakota looked. She stood, giving Dakota another glance over--she looked fine, physically. And that’s all she could hope for either of them at the moment. Clearing her throat, she glanced back at the theater one last time and then nodded towards the other woman. “So, uh--rain check on dinner?”

OH MY GOD I JUST HAD A GENIUS SONGFIC IDEA

I am once again disregarding requests-

I’m sorry I love you guys but I HAVE TO DO THIS

Due to popular demand via a vote on instagram, I have decided who to write about:DDD

Disclaimer: This fic is inspired by a Levi one I’ve read before, I don’t remember the author but if you find them or they find me props to you!!

Remember When // Modern!Todoroki Shouto x reader

Word count: 2000+

Warnings: Cursing, idk if this is a warning but aged up characters

Summary: In a world where everyone is reincarnated, your search to find someone special ends somewhere nostalgic.

The memories shouldn’t stay.

They just shouldn’t.

That’s not how the world works.

What was supposed to happen, was you were supposed to die, forget everything, and get reborn. Start a new life, with a new face, meet new people, fall in love all over again, get married, have kids, grow old, die, repeat.

So why didn’t that happen to you too?

Why did all the memories come flooding right back the second you turned three? Why did you look the exact same? Throughout your teenage years, you desperately tried to get rid of everyone in your memories. Mina, Bakugou, Deku, Kaminari, Jirou, and most importantly, Todoroki.

Ah, Todoroki Shouto, your first and last love. How could you forget him?

For fifteen years of your life, you’ve been trying desperately to find him.

But who’s to say he remembers you too?

That possibility didn’t stop you from seeking out every opportunity to figure out whether he was still the Todoroki you used to know. The Todoroki you used to love so dearly. You prayed every night, that you would finally meet him again, not in your dreams, but in real life. No matter how hard you tried to burn the memory of him out of your mind, he just wouldn’t leave. You couldn’t let go of how he stared at you, those heterochromatic eyes staring into your soul as it lit on fire. You craved to feel his hand on your cheek, his lips on your head, his arms around your waist, you wanted it all back. It made you feel greedy, it did, but could anyone blame you? You had everything taken away from you the minute he died. You wished to pass away, so you could forget about him and start a new life, but ended up with this mess. Your emotions are hard to suppress. You’re just as in love with Todoroki Shouto as you were in another life.

You were unlucky to be reborn like this, all the memories from your past life mixed with new ones. The school days at UA high, fighting villains alongside your best friends. The day you got married. The day you had kids. It was terrible, having those images in your mind, but being unable to fulfil the hunger and constant longing to do it all over again.

Walking down the street, you stop at a cafe. It’s a really nice cafe. Reminds you of the one you used to work part time at in your past life. Warm, dim ceiling lights, timber wall lining, Swiss cheese plants, a nice little island where baristas were busing brewing up steaming hot mugs of coffee, plush couch seats and wooden chairs accompanied with marble tables, and a little platform for occasional guests that would perform. The entire cafe radiates a nice vibe. It reminds you of what you used to have. Giving yourself a tiny grin, you push the door open, letting the little bells ring. Grabbing a couch seat, you settle yourself down, putting your headphones on in an effort to block out the noise other customers were making. “Good evening, miss. Would you like anything? I suppose you wouldn’t want coffee at such a late hour.” You position one of the sides behind your ear. What time is it? You bring your phone up to your face, squinting a bit at the bright screen, showing 7:15 in bold, white numbers. “It’s fine, I’ll just have a latte and your apple pie.” The waitress looks at you in confusion. “Miss, I haven’t given you the menu yet?” Eyes widening, you go silent, before plastering a smile on your face. “Regular, just not at night.” Did that convince her? The waitress bites her lip, tilting her head a bit, before jotting down the order and shuffling away quickly.

The cafe is buzzing with excitement, talks of a band performing in a bit filling the air of the cozy space. You roll your eyes, not wanting to deal with it. You just got back from five lectures that you surely didn’t enjoy. The cafe is supposed to be a way for you to get some downtime, not for a band to ruin the peaceful atmosphere. Pulling your headphone back onto your ear, you mindlessly go through your phone, bored and uninterested in anything on your timeline. Every single post is about your friends with their valentines date. To you, valentines is truly, the worst thing to possibly celebrate. Not only is it is about a man that was tortured and eventually killed, it is also a reminder, that you’ll never be able to love someone normally because of those stupid, idiotic, utterly pointless memories that held you back. It doesn’t matter how many people your friends set you up with. You’ve had to reject over eight guys you were set up with, all because you simply can’t let go of Todoroki. It doesn’t matter whether he remembers, as long as you do, you’ll never be free of this hell. You get made fun of for being too uptight, too picky, too dense, when in reality you can’t help it at all. Whenever you even have the slightest thought of a different guy, Todoroki’s name plays in your mind like a broken record. Thinking about it now, maybe you don’t want to leave the memories behind. Maybe you want to remember them, no matter how annoying, shitty, and irritating they can be. Losing them would be like losing a part of yourself, and you didn’t want that.

“Miss, the latte, and the apple pie. Enjoy your food.” Picking up the tiny spoon, you fiddle around with the utensil, admiring it in all its simplicity. It isn’t a peculiar spoon or anything, just a normal coffee spoon that has a gold brimmed green end. Sticking it into the latte, you give the drink a good stir, not even paying attention to the coffee foam art that was there a second ago. Leading the brim of the cup to your lips, you carefully take a sip of the hot liquid. Nothing about it has changed. It tastes just as good as when you worked here. If only you could introduce this to Todoroki all over again. Eyeing the pie with lidded eyes, you cut out a chunk, taking it into your mouth as you reminisced the days, where you would feed him the exact pie. It was pretty impossible not to feel nostalgic in this place. Way too many memories were made here. First dates, first kisses, first mini concerts, this was like a shrine of key events in your past life. You continue to savour the rest of your food, saving the drink for last. Exhaustion is taking over as you hear the sound of cheering, a guitar strum, and a half recognisable voice. Slumping into the couch, you doze off, headphones slowly falling off. From onstage, heterochromatic eyes stare at your figure, mouth hanging as the band sets up their instruments.

He finally found you.

After all these years, he finally found you.

Never has he ever been so thankful for fate.

His situation was the same as yours. He was reborn, then regained memories from his past life, except he was never able to get a certain someone out of his head. For years, he performed at this particular cafe, hoping you would be there to watch him. He hasn’t been able to fall in love with anyone, despite having hundreds of fangirls craving for his hand in marriage. He spent immeasurable amounts of time delving deep into those past memories, trying to scrape together the song you oh so loved to listen to. The song that represented your life with him. Hours upon hours of bass practising, just for the sake of reuniting with you. Uncertainties burdened him night after night. What if you’ve already become a different person? Would all his work have been for nothing? Would the only place he can ever meet you again be his dreams, and the piles of the memories he still had with you? All those doubts were washed away with the look he gave you. That was definitely the (Y/N) he knew. From the iconic band hoodie, to the order of the cafe’s secret apple pie and latte. That was undoubtedly you.

“Guys, please let me play one song first.”

“Hah? Todoroki, you’re seriously changing it now?”

“Do me a favour, would you? Let me do that song first?”

The drummer’s eyes widened in realisation.

“O-oh! Yeah, sure thing. Good luck, you get one shot.”

Hands on the mic, the cafe goes silent as the first riff comes on.

Headphones fully slipping off your ears and onto your neck, your ears are no longer protected from outside noises.

This song.

Letting your eyes flutter open, you shake your head, rubbing your eyes a bit from your little nap. Adjusting your headphones to hang nicely around your neck, you sit up from your position, steadying yourself with your hands. How long have you been asleep for? You groggily grab for your phone, wincing yet again at the bright light that shone through. You weren’t even able to fully comprehend the numbers on your screen, when a voice rang loud and clear.

“Thought I saw your shadow under the door,”

This song, I remember it.

What is this? You absolutely love it. The way the lyrics resemble a long lost friendship, it makes your heart clench with every word. You pull your phone up, trying to Shazam the lyrics. The song sounds familiar, yet so, so different from anything you’ve heard before. Typing in the lyrics rapidly, your search fails as nothing comes up.

Dammit, what is this?

“I can never tell what’s real anymore, anymore, anymore.”

There’s no way. It has to be a real song. You swear on your life you’ve heard it somewhere. It’s lingering in the back of your mind, waiting for the right time to pop out. Cold sweat drips from your forehead as you go through all the songs you know. Your head hurts, your sight is blurry. Hands go up to grab your head as you squeeze your eyes shut, your phone dropping onto the plush couch.

No, I know this, I definitely do.

“It seems so long, it seems so long,“

Colours flash in front of your shut eyelids, almost giving you an epilepsy. Your mind travels into those god forsaken memories from your past life. Mina, Jirou, Kirishima, Bakugou, Deku, Todoroki, everything crashes right down on you. Panting heavily, you grab the cup of coffee, downing it in one go, hoping it helps with easing your mind. An image flashes in your head, sending jolts to your body. You and Todoroki in a cafe, listening to Wallows perform for the first time. That was your first date. Remember When became your song that night. It was a staple of your relationship. It was like the background music of your life story. Was there no Wallows now? The nostalgia that song brought you was immeasurable, yet you didn’t know it would have such an effect on you.

Oh my god.

A moment of epiphany hits you like a truck.

“All the places I’ve returned to,”

“All the faces that remind you,”

Letting your head spring up, your eyes dart around the cafe, desperately trying to find where the song is playing from. You should know fully well it’s coming from the band that is intriguing the audience excellently. However, you’re still in a state of complete shock, refusing to believe your ears. The familiar tune resonates in the cafe, a silky voice serenading couples in the audience.

It’s him.

Your eyes lock onto the band.

Heterochromatic irises stare back at your watery ones.

He looks just as good as before. His hair is still groomed, red and white parting in the middle. His turquoise eye shines with the gloss of tears as he sings his heart out on the stage, letting the tears roll down his cheeks freely.

Covering your mouth with a shaky hand, tears freely fall from your eyelids as your mind goes blank. You can’t seem to peel your eyes off him. Your heart beats wildly as you let out a tiny gasp.

It doesn’t matter if the two of you only just met. At a cafe.

Right now, you’re looking at someone you’ve known your entire life, and it feels ethereal.

I found you.

Finally.

Do you remember this?

Do you remember when we were the ones watching?

PLAYLIST ANALYSIS

This is actually me just rambling about my thoughts on each song and why I chose them for this specific playlist rather than like.. an actually good and smart sounding in-depth analysis sorry :/

When I Met You - Ethan Nestor

There are many reasons I chose this one! Mostly the lyrics, but Ethan also sings it so it’s extra fitting for the playlist, especially as the opener.

“When I met you my life was blue, I was so lonely / You took me by surprise” The channel came into my life at the perfect time. I was feeling low, in my last year of high school, struggling with thoughts about the future. It especially helped me through quarantine. Every day I felt like quitting, giving up on putting effort into school/not graduating, but I had something to look forward to every day too, so I pushed through.

“Now you're gone from my life / I'm adrift on the sea” Once the stream ended and the channel was gone, I didn’t know how I felt. I felt sad, but also something I’ve never felt before. After watching Ethan’s video yesterday, hearing him explain he felt the same way, I felt so relieved. I think this lyric kind of describes how I feel now honestly, just kinda numb? Like I’m lost. I’m working on it.

Another Night - Story Untold

More of a light-hearted one now! To me, this song made me think about how good it felt to be a part of the audience.

“Here we go for another night / Another night goofing all around” Everyone (the audience, Mark, Ethan, etc.) having fun every single day? *chefs kiss*

“Laughing 'til our stomachs hurt / And I can't let this moment pass me by” Once again, made me think of all the good times that were a part of the channel, and all the good feelings they gave me.

“So here’s to a night we’ll remember / This is a time we never wanna forget” I think this is kind of self-explanatory? I don’t think any of us want to forget Unus Annus. Personally, it’s literally the best thing I’ve ever had the chance to see happen and be a part of.

100 Bad Days - AJR

This song just gives me good vibes, UA gave me good vibes, it had to be on the playlist. I don’t have much else to say about it.

History - One Direction

This song kind of reminds me of Ethan and Mark separately and UA as a whole. Because like,, they make a great team, they have a lot of history (friends for a long time, Ethan was a fan of Mark before that, etc.)

“You and me got a whole lot of history / So don't let it go, we can make some more, we can live forever” A year is a long time but also feels like no time at all. Sometimes I wish we had more time for UA, but I’m glad I was here for what we got.

“This is not the end” Unus Annus is something I’ll never forget.

Dopamine - With Confidence

Maybe also kind of self-explanatory? Dopamine makes you feel good!! UA also makes me feel good. And the song talks about losing it too so.. yeah

This Is Home - Cavetown

I’m not exactly sure why I felt so drawn to this? But the vibes are immaculate.

“Are you dead? / Sometimes I think I'm dead / 'Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head / But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet” after the stream vibes anyone? Or is it just me? I stayed up way too long after it was over. Too many thoughts head full

“Time is / Slowly / Tracing his face / But strangely he feels at home in this place” Unus and Annus,, the Boys of Time babey!!

Ghost Of You - 5 Seconds of Summer

Again.. The VIBES are IMMACULATE. It’s just a sad song for a sad time.

“Too young, too dumb / To know things like love” I’m just a stupid boy who got emotionally attached to a channel whose whole purpose was to DIE and I’m sensitive about it.

All I Wanted - Paramore

Lyrics make me do a Think

“Wake up early to black and white re-runs” colors of the channel,, thinking about all the vids,, the memories :(

“I could follow you to the beginning / And just to relive the start / And maybe then we'll remember to slow down / At all of our favorite parts” this entire verse?? Oh my god. Absolutely *chefs kiss* I think we all know what I mean and like,, why it gives me UA vibes

The Kids from Yesterday - My Chemical Romance

This song just gives me like sad nostalgic vibes so I thought it fit well.

“... you only hear the music when your heart begins to break” the timer reaches the end and the ticking stops? Heartbreaking, that’s all

I Will Follow You into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Another song thats just,, sad so it fits

“Love of mine, someday you will die” we knew from the start the the channel would literally die when the clock stopped,,

“It's nothing to cry about 'cause we'll hold each other soon / In the blackest of rooms” shut up I’m mourning someone hold my hand

“I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black” death goddess Amy vibes

I’ll Always Be Around - Waterparks

“If you died I'd hope you'd haunt me / Because you know I'd miss you bad” we all love UA so much!! And miss it a ton already

“I'd never I'd never I'd never get you off my mind” it’s always thinking about Unus Annus hours

Before You Go - Lewis Capaldi

There are multiple lyrics in this song that just make me remember we only have our memories of the channel left

“Our every moment, I start to replace / 'Cause now that they're gone, all I hear are the words that I needed to say” the vids are replaced with only memories, replayed over and over

“Well, time can heal but this won't” I’ll be sad about this forever mind ur business

“But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face” the very last moment of the stream? Amy and Mark looking at the camera, Mark’s lil smile, Ethan looking back at the clock as the last few seconds tick by? AAAAH

Scarlet Cross - Black Veil Brides

Heard this and immediately reverted back to my middle school self but that’s beside the point.

“... you can't deny / The end is coming, the end is coming” we knew from the start that the channel would die

“Will we live? / Will we die? / Just keep on saving our goodbyes” There were points where people were theorizing that the channel wouldn’t actually end, there were clips near the end where the clock reversed by a few seconds, etc. need I say more?

“Hold onto me, and I can't let go” we’re all mourning, we didn’t want to say goodbye I know I’m not the only sad one

Body - Mother Mother

This song just SCREAMS Unus and Annus vibes I think we can all agree

“I've grown tired of this body / Fall apart without me, body” Unus and Annus are just entities using Ethan and Mark’s bodies,, they know their time is up so they have to leave,, the LORE it makes sense okay leave me alone

Here Comes the End - Gerard Way (ft Judith Hill)

At this point I’m just listing lyrics that I vibe with that remind me of UA and also make me sad but that’s because I’m dumb and I don’t know how to express myself or explain my thoughts oops

“The time is running out / The days are moving fast” literally every day after each video,, seeing the clock tick down? My HEART she hurt

“The clock is moving / Hands to midnight / Can we get through this?” For me, the stream ended right at midnight so THE VIBES I was sobbing

When Can I See You Again? - Owl City

“Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you / Go see the world 'cause it’s all so brand new” this lyric remind me of the vid where they were in the desert and they just looked at the stars and had a nice talk it was so wholesome I love them

“It's been fun but now I've got to go / Life is way too short to take it slow” Unus Annus is gone but we all have to remember to live, do what you want with no regrets.

(Don’t Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult

This one is another pretty self explanatory one honestly

It’s also just a vibe like a lot of the other songs that’s all I have to say about it

Safe and Sound - Capital Cities

This song just radiates such good feelings man oof

Unus Annus felt like such a safe lil bubble for me?? Like,, Mark and Ethan did dumb shit because they WANTED TO I felt so validated like,, I also would do dumb shit if I could that probably makes no sense but I love them so it doesn’t matter

Happiest Year - Jaymes Young

This one absolutely BREAKS MY HEART

“I'm here to admit / That you were my medicine” yall,, UA was the only thing that kept me going and I'm not afraid to admit it

“Thank you for the happiest year of my life” literally the only thing that gave me serotonin oops :/

“So wake me up when they build that time machine / I want to go back” do I need to explain? Even though this year has been shitty irl, I would relive it in a heartbeat

The 3ND - Story Untold

I know this is a breakup song,, but hear me out

Some of the lyrics FIT and it’s my playlist I can do what I want shut up

“I never wanted what we had to end / But now it's over” once again,, no need to explain

“I know we had our dreams and we had plans… / That now it's time to let go” this just makes me think of the video where they talk about the video ideas they had but never filmed or just didn't post,, the CONTENT WE COULD'VE GOTTEN i'm sad

Still Remembering - AS IT IS

These boys.. My fave band of all time but also literally all their songs have immaculate vibes

“My heart's as heavy / As these nights are long” this gives me after the stream feels,, I stayed up way too long after it ended I couldn't sleep because I was sad :/

“Can you tell me what hurts more / Is it remembering or forgetting?” The whole chorus just hits me so hard man I'm so scared that I'm gonna forget unus annus because my brain is shitty even though I know I won't? I’m deadass getting a tattoo as soon as I can

Take Me Away - With Confidence

This song just makes me think about how UA was kind of an escape for me? And a lot of people yknow sometimes you just need to get your mind off of this happening around you and UA was really good for that in my opinion

The Night We Met - Lord Huron

Once again saying I would relive this year if I had the chance

Unus Annus was one of a kind, no one will ever be able to recreate it

Where’d All the Time Go? - Dr. Dog

A year sounds like such a long time but it goes by way too fast

Also I think Amy had this on her instagram story after the stream? I don't remember but THE VIBES

This December - Ricky Montgomery

Why do so many ricky montgomery songs have UA vibes? Idk

“Well, this December, I'll remember / Want you to see it when I do” UA ended in november,, we’ll remember in december and forever it FITS

“It’s just a little bit, It’s just a little bit / Lonely in this home / It’s always colder on your own'' honestly now that UA is gone there's like,, a void and I'm sad (I keep saying that but it's true so..)

When You Die - MGMT

Maybe this is the song Amy had in her story after the stream? Again,, I don’t remember

I think this one is also pretty self explanatory

Except I was feeling A LOT when the channel died but I’m glad the team was also kinda in their feels a bit yknow? It made me feel better about it

Good Times - All Time Low

“Underneath the stars we came alive / And singing to the sky just felt right / I won't forget the good times” once again,, that stargazing vid? IM CRYING all the vids gave me so much serotonin I loved them all and each day was such a good day

“I'll hate the goodbye” I don't need to explain..

“Middle fingers up, ego trip / Devil may care but we didn't mind” the chaotic vibes of the channel is what sucked me in I live for chaos that's what this lyric makes me think of

Goodnight, Travel Well - The Killers

I don't think I really need to explain this one because,, just listen to the song and you'll get it but I'll just list some fave lyrics of mine

“There's nothing I can say / There's nothing we can do now” end of the stream vibes for sure

“And all that stands between the souls release / This temporary flesh and bone / We know that it's over now” Unus and Annus vibes

Line Without a Hook - Ricky Montgomery

This is one of the songs that I hear a lot in like edits I see on twitter and stuff associated with UA and I Get It the vibes are so good the song is so good I love it

“Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you / I need you here to stay” one of my fave lyrics and also just,, makes sense I miss UA

As the World Caves In - Matt Maltese

Another song that's in a lot of edits and stuff that's also,, amazing and MAKES SENSE the vibes!!

“And here it is, our final night alive” the STREAM

“You put your finest suit on / I paint my fingernails / Oh we're going out in style babe” Our boys,, Unus and Annus in the suits and eths painted nails? An absolute LOOK

I just love this song so much its so good and makes me so sad

The End. - My Chemical Romance

This song is just So Sad

And the heart monitor beeping in the beginning?? Reminds me of the clock ticking my heart is BROKEN

If you actually read all of this? I love you!! This was 6 pages so thank you for sticking through and listening to all of my dumb thoughts

Fanfiction: Sympathy For A Downer

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22737214/chapters/71387616

Chapter 48

Nick rubbed his cheek against Arthur's hair and closed his eyes with relish. "Have you got time, Nick or do you have to leave?", the other man whispered, full of hope. "I've got time..." Nick said quietly, leaning against his lover and relaxing. Arthur turned around to smile at him and Nick took the opportunity to involve him into a kiss. Suddenly, Arthur became nervous again.

"Uh...Nick...I have something for you...", he whispered. "But Arthur, you don't have to give me anything." "It's not an offering", he answered with a shaking head. "It's not even a real gift, but..." He lifted up a box he had put next to the bed, eyeing it unsurely. Nick's eyes lit up with curiosity. "It's so that we can move freely in the Garden District," Arthur explained and handed the box to his lover, who didn't hesitate to open it. Inside, he found something made of red cloth. "You bought me fancy rags?" Nick was surprised and lifted up the cloth to take a closer look at it. He loved to get clothes as a gift. He however froze when he saw the suit was torn.

"That's how you have to go about in the Garden District, if you don't want to be thrashed. It's not quite beautiful...I know, but it's useful", Arthur nervously told him. "I thought I'll give you one so you don't have to rip apart one of yours." "Oh Arthur, this is a gift! You bought this for me, just to make me a suit?" Nick was touched. He had so many suits, he could've easily shredded one of them, but Arthur as a Downer had spent money to get him a new one. "Uh...not quite...", Arthur interrupted his train of emotions. "When I was in Hackney's institute I...well...took a look around." "You shredded one from his new collection?" Now Nick was shocked. "No, no, it was already in the throw-outs. I don't think he'll miss it," Arthur calmed him down. "I hope it's your size, but when it doesn't fit perfectly, it's an even better disguise." Nick quickly changed into his new clothes. Kneeling on the bed, he viewed himself.

"How do I look?" "Smashing, actually...", Arthur said. "You can wear everything, even these tatters." "Huh." Nick slid from the bed and posed in front of the mirror. "I could show this to Davey, he'll turn this into a trend. Garden style." "Perhaps. I don't think everyone looks as good in it as you." Nick turned to him. "And where's your disguise? I wanna see you in it." "Oh...well...it's still in my shelter, I go get it."

Some time later he came back, already dressed in what was left of a former proper suit. "Oh, wild," Nick blurted out. He planted himself in front of Arthur and put a hand on the other man's half exposed upper body. "I love how much flesh you're flashing." Arthur's cheeks turned faint red. "I'm...I'm glad you like it...", he stuttered, then he gasped because Nick ran his teeth along his naked skin. Arthur had goosepumps all over his body, Nick felt it under his tongue. "Do you want to try it out?" Nick absently licked the bite marks. "Yeah...why not?" "I mean...in the Garden District...." "If you like," Nick muttered and kissed his skin. "No, I mean....you know what I mean." Arthur's fingers curled into Nick's hair. Nick chuckled. Wrapping his arms around the nervous man he looked him deep into the eyes. "As you wish, my king."

"Well...I thought we could try it today because you have time now and...", Arthur stuttered, hating himself for that nonsense he was jabbering. Nick's aura was irresistible, and he didn't want to talk him out of something. He just had the feeling that Nick would leave after bringing him to bed, and he wanted to spend at least a few hours with him. And it would be nice if he could take Nick with him to the Garden District without fearing he would be recognised as a Wellie. "You know what? We could take some food with us and have breakfast somewhere at a pretty place." Nick slowly let him go. Arthur was afraid to see disappointment in his eyes but his lover was still cheery. Nick was actually up for an adventure.

"Hey, I have an idea", he said and walked over to his collection of guitars. He took a brightly colored exemplar. "Do you think this is too flashy?" Arthur eyed it. "Could be too much of a risk. It could be stolen or damaged..." Nick thought about it. He put the flashy guitar back down and looked around searching. "In this case...I have a better idea...where did I put it? Ah, here." He showed Arthur another exemplar that was quite dapple and battered. "I think I mauled a hotel room with this...a long time ago", he explained, skimming over one of the scratches. "Oh, the memories...But this should do it, don't you think? It still sounds alright." To prove it, he vibed the strings. What Arthur heard sounded normal. "Yeah...I think that's ok...Now you look like you've had the concert of your life." He chuckled. Nick joined him. "Don't take a photo now." "Oh, no, that concerns no one else but us. So, are we going?" "With pleasure." They packed some of Nick's supplies and left the hideout.

"I think I remember the way...", Nick said. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, don't you believe me?" "Well, I wouldn't bet on it." "You cheeky brat, you'll see." Nick poked him into the ribs. "Hey...don't worry if your memory isn't the best anymore. You have other qualities." "That was almost a compliment, my king. And still, I'll lead you to our destination, believe it or not."

Nick really remembered the way quite well. In fact, Arthur was impressed by his ability to memorize things again, after he had first met him in a rather poor and confused state. And even though he took Joy. His tiny pupils proved it. For a second Arthur pondered if it was thanks to him that Nick had recovered so quickly, but then he dismissed the thought as kitschy. After all, not every Wellie turned downright helpless from Joy. When they reached the right hatch, Arthur praised him: "Wow, you really remembered almost everything." "What did I tell you?", Nick replied proudly, tapping his forehead with his finger. "Your Nicky didn't kill all his brain cells with motilene."

But Arthur didn't hear his answer. He had the horrible feeling of a déjà vu. As if he had experienced something similar before...In his mind, he saw himself and his brother range tall grass, looking for scraps of metal. Of course, the contest. Percy had the best memory of them all, Arthur thought. Did he remember what happened at the train station? Did he think about it every day, asking himself why his brother abandoned him there? Did he blame it on himself? ...because I'm slow. Percy had never been angry at anyone, but this time he really should be. Arthur wiped his forehead, as if he could wipe away the memories. Percy called out for him in his mind. "Arthur! Arthur, where are you? Arthur!" Then he felt that someone was kindly shaking him. "Arthur? Arthur, can you hear me? Say something!" Blinking and shaking his head, he found the worried face of his lover right in front of him. "Nick....sorry...I was distracted." "Distracted? You've been miles away! I thought you drugged yourself! Are you okay?" "Yeah...yeah I'm ok...I was just...pondering something. Nothing important. Don't worry." Nick eyed him doubtfully. "Okay, but if there's any problem...if you feel funny, or we have to go back, just tell me." "I'm alright, Nicky", Arthur said somewhat too casually and quickly kissed him, hoping to lead his lover's thoughts into another direction. "Come on, let's go."

Indeed, the garden impressed Nick enough to cheer up again. Arthur smiled too, so it had to be alright. Weird, how good he felt in shredded clothes. "And you think we make a good impression like this?" "Sure. It's all upside down in here. Also, try to look sad when we meet someone." "And what do I say?" Nick's fascination for this strange district grew again. "Just be nice, like with everyone else...just never mention that you're taking Joy. Don't be too happy, and don't talk about the past. They know it, but they don't want to talk about it." "I can relate", Nick mumbled. "Pardon?" "I mean, I can manage."

They strolled though the district as if it was the most beautiful place in the world, passing by a few wastrels that ignored them. Their appearance was enough to create the illusion that the two visitors belonged there. Arthur tensed at bit, walking though the demolished town. He avoided all the spots that were covered with writing and graffiti. They could be too much for Nick, even though he was still happily strolling along. After all, he knew how fast a Wellie's mood could change. Nick, however, felt nothing but nostalgic bliss while viewing the ruins. They reminded him of his early days with the band, when they couldn't afford any rent and lived in a ruin instead. It had been a good time, maybe the best of his life, because it had been peaceful, and they had had all their dreams to look forward to.

"Nick?", he suddenly heard Arthur ask. "Are you alright?" Nick laughed. "Now I was distracted." "We better leave the town." "No," Nick waved him off. "I thought of something pleasant...something I remembered lately...", he explained, stopping in front of a demolished house. "I've been living in one of these, can you imagine?" "You mean, before the bombs fell?", Arthur asked and promptly wished he had bitten his tongue instead. Bombs, Arthur. Good job. Is your life as a Wellie really that long ago so you don't remember that some words are forbidden?

Luckily Nick didn't hear it or something, he was still eyeing the ruin in awe. "No, I mean a house just like this." He pointed at it. "There were many of them in Hamlyn Village back then. And they were pretty useful for the band and me, when we were still nobodies. We've been free and we could do as we pleased." "I...I think I know what you mean...I've played in them as a kid...It was fun. Sally and I..." Arthur stopped. Now he really wanted to bite his tongue. Nick was surprised. "Sally? You knew Sally?" Arthur grimaced and crossed his arms. "We grew up together. We were friends", he uttered. "No way!", Nick was thrilled. "The it girl Sally Boyle, your schoolfriend...perhaps even your girlfriend. You can't tell me she didn't fall for your charms, Artie." He poked him.

Not as much as she fell for my father's charms, Arthur thought. Loudly he said: "Look...let's change the subject, okay? I don't really want to talk about it." "Oh...", Nick said, figuring that he had awakened bad memories. "I'm sorry. Here, take one of my..." And without further thinking, he offered Arthur a Joy pill. Shortly after, he laughed nervously. "No, you won't..." He quickly hid the pill in his pocket. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to..." Nick was ashamed. "Hey, its okay," Arthur said and clumsily patted his back. He couldn't remember the last time someone had been ashamed because of him, instead of putting all the blame on him. "You're my Joy." Nick gave him a big smile. He had been told that by so many fans, but when Arthur said it it meant so much more to him. "How about another dose?", he asked and his lips came closer to Arthur's. Arthur engaged in the kiss, and they remained like this for long, enjoying it to the fullest.

Nick rubbed a leg on Arthur's. "I think I'm getting hungry...", he whispered, making Arthur's hair stand on end again. "I know a good place to rest..." "Alright, lead the way, my king." Nick let him go and Arthur was happy to finally leave the town. He led his hungry rockstar to the cliff coast, where most likely no wastrels came along. In addition, the view was scenic, the ocean to one side and the nearly pristine nature to the other. "There. What do you think?" "Wonderful", Nick sighed. Full of anticipation, Arthur spread out the blanket and sat down on it. "Hmm, looks like the table is set", Nick purred, kneeling down to him and putting away his guitar. "And what a delicious meal it is..." He greedily kissed Arthur, pressing him down until he lay on him.

Arthur let it happen, helplessly roaming Nick's body. The shredded suits made it easy to reach naked skin. He didn't try to take the lead, he rather let Nick spoil him, who seemed to be really needy. Soon they were completely undressed and rolling around on the blanket, while Nick was treating every single centimeter of Arthur's body. As greedy as he was, he took all the time he needed to make the other man hungry. So hungry, that he could barely stand it any longer. "Nick", he gasped. "Nick, please...." Nick smiled, looking down at him. He held Arthur close and his hand ran along the other man's spine, downwards. "You want it?" he asked quietly. "Yes, please..." "Are you sure?" Nick's finger got dangerously close to his delicate spot. Arthur was breathing heavily and is cheeks were turning soft red. "I trust you." Nick gave him a gentle kiss, then he let his finger slide into him, testing if he was comfortable. Arthur drew breath. "Sshhh, my king...", Nick whispered. "Relax...". He massaged him slowly. "Is that good?" He educed a moan from the other man. Arthur began to move his hips, adjusting them to Nick's rhythm, while he clung to his lover and pressed his forehead against his chest. Nick used their rhythm to grant his finger a pause and get to the point. Arthur moaned louder and curved his spine. "Ssshh", Nick whispered, "You'll be fine." "That's a massive understatement," Arthur mumbled, feeling how a man filled him for the first time in his life. They turned into a sweating, panting and thrusting bundle until they came heavily. Arthur was sure he'd still feel it tomorrow.

When he had caught his breath, he struggled up. Nick lay on the blanket, smiling blissfully at him. Arthur enjoyed the view for a while, then he put his clothes back on. "Aww", he heard Nick say. "Why would you do that?" "Uh...in case someone walks by..." "That's not our problem, isn't it?", Nick answered and stretched out on the blanket, legs spread. "Nick...it could trigger them." "Oh, come on, they're half naked themselves." "But it's rather cold to be without clothes." "I feel warm." "Yeah, now, but you'll get colder." Arthur tossed Nick's suit at him, but Nick didn't move, except that he started to nonchalantly adjust his hair, acting as if he didn't hear him.

Arthur then grabbed the blanket and threw it over the stubborn rockstar. "Hey!" Nick's voice was muffled under the thick cloth. He freed his head only to stick his tongue out at him, what made Arthur giggle. He knelt down next to his lover to hug him tightly, wrapping the blanket around him. "You don't have to show yourself to everyone, Nicky. They wouldn't appreciate it as much as me", he whispered and pecked his cheek. Nick, wrapped into Arthur's care like that, began to fidget. "Then give me a sandwich at least. I'm really hungry now." Arthur pulled up the bag where they kept their supplies. "What's the magic word?" "I'm a star, I don't have to say please", Nick said with played vanity. "So?" Arthur silenced, picked up a sandwich, let it dangle over Nick's head for a second and then took a bite himself. "That's so good", he swooned, "if only the rockstar could say a nice word, he could taste it too." "What the hell? This is intolerable! I'll sue you, Mr. Hastings! You'll never set foot into your office again!" Arthur squeezed him. "Are you sure about that? Seems like I have you in my grip here. No way to sue me, and nobody's gonna hear your screams except some wastrels, but they won't care. I guess the cards are stacked against you." He took another bite from the sandwich. "Hmm..." Nick struggled harder, trying to free himself, but Arthur's arm remained wrapped around him. Now he remembered how he had choked the wastrel unconcious. He was really strong.

"No, no, no, my star. You'll stay and learn to behave, or I won't feed you." Nick tried his most pitiful hangdog look. Arthur was melting, but he didn't show it. "That doesn't work with me, I'm immune", he told him and continued to eat. Nick now craned his neck and almost reached his goal. "No", Arthur blurted out in surprise and held up his hand. Then he laughed. "You really are a piece of work, you know, but you won't get around this." He put down the sandwich and started to tickle Nick. "See, that's what you get." Nick laughed and curled, struggling out of the blanked little by little. They scrambled with each other until Nick went out of breath. "Stop...stop it...I can't....please." Arthur immediately stopped and lay down next to Nick.

"You're...something else", the rockstar gasped. Arthur eyed him. "Did I go too far?" "No...no, I had a blast." Nick untucked himself. "Here, let me spread this out again." "Uh...okay." "Did you see my clothes?" Arthur tossed them again and this time Nick caught them. "Fancy shreds", he said putting them on. "If you wear them, definitely." "Am I allowed to eat now?", Nick asked with an irresistible smile. "Sure", Arthur said and handed him a new sandwich.

Photo

@trespassers-will ok here we go

i also watched the various videos hidden inside each photo and the videos that were posted today as well and took notes too hjfhk

1. hobi’s room

okay so i thought i would rank jin’s room first but then i saw hobi’s room and i saw that couch nd went OMG okay thats no.1!! i love this interior so so much, like i normally hate orange and blue as a combination but this seems almost more like red and blue and it really reminds me of hopeworld. there’s many pop art-like graphic design posters adorning the walls, showing lines like ‘hope‘, ‘sweet’ and ‘my way‘. the shoes on the closet(?) behind him were disaplayed bc those are the colours we wears the most in his fashion. and then there’s this iconic inflatable clear pink couch and him wearing a pink robe and just GOD what a mood, i want a room like this!! the chair reminds me a lot of the type of fun quirky furniture i fantasized about and incorporated into my drawings as a kid when i was around 8-11, probably because i got inspired by stuff like totally spies and polly pocket, which had all these designs clearly inspired by 60s and 70s space age design but more in pink and purple i guess.

also i hate the search for such stills bc even w safe search on, you still have godawful f3tish drawings depicting those kids from totally spies ending up in search results and it’s disgusting. but yeah it reminded me of that

youtube

when i say polly pocket, i particularly mean this quik-clik (magnetic clothes and hair) era in 2005 which was what i had some stuff from. i had that couch / movie night! set and the pool and that

also i just really like hobi’s room because with all the posters and cabinets and clothing items laid out and a carpet and fun colours and whatnot, it really feels like an actual room you could live in, unlike any of the other rooms which feel very empty or too minimalist to me. but YEAH hobi’s room is my fav, i love the way a fuller room feels more cozy and habitable and floaties and inflatable floaties are AMAZING

2. jin’s room

jin’s room is so prettyyyy!! jins explanation of the room was very uhm confident and funny but i love that. the couch looks like a lilac shell, which makes sense as everything else looks very pearlescent. i really love cool-toned pastels like lilac, powder / baby blue, periwinkle and everything just looks like it’s part of a waiting hall for mermaids or something. there’s also gems in it which took me a while to realize bc i only noticed the glass chandelier and lamp but then i saw them in his hand nd on the table. i dont rly care abt gems / jewels but overall i just love how this whole room speaks ‘pretty‘ to me. robes are always a plus. as i was writing this, i was also reminded of hair extension mullet jin with iridescent clothing and all and that is actually my all time fav photoshoot / look of him. him saying he’s the gem of the room makes sense too as he’s sitting in the shell like a pearl. jin pretty pretty mermaid

ok from here on its getting harder bc place 3-8 is not so much abt which is nicer but which one actually makes me feel any emotion bc i just feel too exhausted for excitement over comebacks or anything really. also minimalism doesnt make me feel anything either. but ill try

3. jungkook’s room

ok ive been staring at a screen w few sleep for too long so ill try to go through my ranking faster bc ive been working on this post for too long, also partially bc i cant focus nd partially bc theres some i just rly dont feel much for but i feel bad for ranking one lower than the other or ranking smth higher when ive talked to someone who dislikes a room i like dghkfdf

but yeah i like jungkooks room! its a very intense blue tht might make you depressed if youre in it too long but again i love how theres multiple items stacked in the bg and intense blue lights, and the ceiling looks like it has soundproof padding. its like youre in a recording studio or at some vaguely nostalgic party of a friend of my mom, who had plants in her home nd rock music nd the tv on and was smoking nd it was a bit dark and mysterious. i like it, it intrigues me a bit nd makes me miss going to concerts. also this pic rly just reminds me of 2008-2010 pop music videos where theres always a party and dj and people are wearing sunglasses or something and theres a dance break at the end

4. yoongi’s room

also blue!! the first time i saw this pic it was bc someone sent it to me to say how ugly they thought the decoration / editing looked w the metallic dripping stuff from the couch and whatnot but i kinda like it :( i like his velvety clothing and the light blue in the rest of the room is really pretty. i like mirror themes when done well nd i like how the reflectiveness shows also in the metallic dripping nd metallic spheres and the mirror hes standing on nd the way light reflects on his clothes and from the lamp. only the lamp feels a bit too much like a contemporary art installation for me nd his room already is a bit too empty for my liking nd i had the feeling when i watched the vid of him walking through the room that there was not much to interact w in the room like it was a bit dull. his voice in the explanation videos made it feel more like a place of peace / solitude rather than boredom or loneliness though.

5. namjoon’s room

ehh i think place 5, 6 and 7 are interchangable at this point. namjoon woulve ranked lowest but i listened to his explanation videos and saw him goof around in today’s video and appreciated it a bit more. the room still looks quite minimalist and not super comfortable, like youre not allowed to touch anything there (which is the same for jin i guess but i dont view that as smth meant to look like a living room). i do like how the wood theme is present throughout each wall nd in various items and w the windows nd use of space it feels a bit inspired by japanese interior design and that that is inspired by his bonsai tree nd love for woodwork, but im not sure. i was actually quite shocked some of his explanations were so short. so yeah i place this 5th bc i like how coherent the theme is but it doesnt feel cozy or inviting nd still very cold to me, maybe bc it looks too expensive or minimalistic in terms of colours.

6. jimin’s room

i like the flowers but also i dont like tiny flowers nd they tend to be the stinkier ones. i kind of like how jimins room feels the most like a grandma one w all the flowers nd offwhite and the lamp and beige i think? but the colours are so muted and if anything it feels like a place for a bridal photoshoot nd im just so bored. i love jimin nd feel bad for ranking a room he curated so low but it rly creates no serotonine in my brain, just melatonine bc im sleepy. i like how the room i obviously quite packed w stuff, but then the washed out colours make everything still look very bleak. hmm. i do like how the flowers reach outside the borders unlike w any of the others’ photos. im about to fall asleep so let me quickly finish this post

7. tae’s room

the picture in the middle behind him is interesting nd i dont know how he made that, nd i do like how he described his room as a place where there would always be enough food for visitors. i know it’s meant to communicate some highbrow, artsy vibe but w the weird editing and lightning nothing looks real in the room he’s in (including himself, like it doesnt even look like hes in the room) and it just looks kitschy instead of artsy. yeah i dont gravitate towards this one, it’s like deep-fried and desaturated at the same time nd i tend to avoid looking at it subconsciously

8. the first room photo

i first posted a long description here why but it disappeared but in short. this photo evokes no emotional response to me other than think of kind of crappy hotel rooms i was in w my parents while on vacation nd we slept in the same room or something nd the beds were awful nd made my moms chronic pain worse. the clothing is very boring and so r the colours of the room. i know bangtan curated stuff but its still the least interesting photo to me, maybe im too depressed to feel anything idk

im sorry this was prob very boring TT_TT i tried my best to make a ranking but i rly dont know nor care as much as i would want to

summary: 2 months ago has passed since Jaehyun ended his relationship with his now ex girlfriend, Jessica . He really loved her a lot and even thought she was the girl that was gonna marry him and be together for a long time, but he was disappointed one more time. Jessica was a really nice girlfriend for some time, but after 2 years of relationship she changed. Jaehyun was so in love that thought it was romantic at first, but after many discussions and bad nights he found out it wasn't good for him and decided to end it, now she is begging to him to love her back but Jaehyun needs to find his own way... will he go back to her? Or will he move on and find someone else?

since the day Jessica told Jaehyun he was cheating on him he started to feel really hurt. Yes, he wanted to get out of that toxic relationship but he was still thinking about all the time she played with him and took advantage of him. The last phrase she said kept repeating in his head the countless nights he cried himself to sleep. He felt sad for her, Jessica seemed like such a nice and genuine girl that would love him no matter what, but at the end the money and status was more important.

also he felt sad for himself, what was wrong with him? Isn't he good enough? Is he not worth it? Is he just a pretty face? Those were the thoughts that consumed him every single night and day, making him disappointed, hopeless and lonely.

he was now free from that toxic relationship but things didn't end up being as happy as he thought, he felt empty and insecure about himself. He really needed someone that could truly love him and tell him everything was gonna be okay.

he now could go out with his friends but it wasn't how he imagined in the past. The few times they went out he would just drink until he was completely wasted and even cried a couple time. His friends tried to help him and make him feel better, but it wasn't enough, he needed something or someone that could bring a new energy and vibe to his life.

Jaehyun enters his office and places his jacket on the back of his chair. He doesn't know how has he been able to work and give good results on the recent months, he has been so distracted and upset that he doesn't even wants to get up of bed and go to work, but he does it anyway, gathering all of the energy he can. He starts working on his computer when he hears the door knock.

"Come in." He rolls his eyes, he really doesn't want to see anyone for the rest of the decade but he was to keep a nice attitude.

"Good morning Mr. Jung." Jaemin, one of the secretaries in the company, greets him with his characteristic wide smile. 'Does he never feels sad?' Jaehyun says to himself.

"Good morning Jaemin, how have you been?" Jaehyun smiles nicely, he can't be rude even if he tries his best.

"Great! Thanks for asking. Y/n come in!" A cute girl wearing a white buttons shirt, black pants that made her body look great and nice high heels. Jaehyun starts to feel sweat and feel a little flustered? Why is he being like this? He doesn't knows this girl.

"Mr. Jung, this is y/n your new assistant." She extends her hand to Jaehyun and he still startled but proceeds to shake her hand.

"Nice to meet you, Sir." She smiles.

"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Y/n." He is surprised by how nervous his voice sound and he feels lime y/n and Jaemin can see his sweat.

"Y/n is on her last year of marketing and she came here to experiment the whole environment of business." Jaemin explains excited.

"Well, i will leave you alone now, if you need anything just let me know." Jaemin smiles and walks out the door.

"Well, y/n welcome to the company! Everyone here is really nice and the pay is good!" The both laugh.

"It's cool that you wanted to be familiarized with part of your career, i will try to make your work easy as possible, i promise."

"Thank you Sir. I will work really hard and learn a lot from you." She gives a nice smile and Jaehyun feels how his heart starts beating faster.

"Oh, you don't have to call me sir! You can call me Jaehyun." He says unconsciously being flirtly.

"But in front of the big bosses just call me Mr. Jung. I'm not a sir, how old are you?" He asks confused.

"I'm 25."

"It's totally okay then, you are just two years younger than me." They both laugh and give love eyes to each other.

the past few weeks with y/n were great. Jaehyun wasn't what was happening but since had such a nice vibe he felt comfortable and happy whenever she was around. She was a really good worker as well, he made Jaehyun manage his time and schedule even better and helped him in tons of stuff and she did a great job.

He felt weird that since he met her, now he feels so motivated when he wakes up at 6am to go to work, and even on the days he has to stay late in the office, he isn't bothered anymore since he has such an a amazing company. He was starting to feel a lot better now, but he was afraid to get closer to y/n and open up to her since all of the previous situations. He really wanted to ask her out and take her on a date, get to know her better, but also, what if she thinks weird of him? What if she doesn't feels the same? At this point not even Jaehyun himself knows what's going on, but he likes it.

either way, there's tiny part of his heart that doesn't lets him, give an opportunity in love. He stills missed Jessica somehow, maybe not her, but all the past experiences and moments. Those couldn't get out his head and i was frustrating him so much, he was the one that decided it was the best to end that relationship but as soon as it happened he felt so lost that if Jessica came back saying sorry, as and idiot he would have forgive her. Thank god it didn't happen because he was going to make a fool out himself.

after 2 months of a difficult heartbreak and having a hard time, it's 1:27am and Jaehyun hears his phone ringing. He always leaves his phone on, and since it's friday night he is watching a movie so he is awake. He grabs the phone confused thinking about who could be calling him so late at night. His heart starts beating faster, he suddenly feels a little nauseous, nervous, he even feels like he is sweating cold.

his eyes open in surprise finding out the person calling is Jessica. A part of him doesn't wants to pick up and just ignore it, but a tiny part of him feels so nostalgic and lost that just wants to pick up and say 'yes, let's go back together'. He takes a deep breath a proceeds to take the call, wishing this goes our well for him, not making him do any mistakes.

"He-hello?" A sobbing voice can be heard from the other side of the phone. Jaehyun gulps and decides to talk back.

"Hi, Jessica?."

"Jae, I'm so sorry for being such a b*tch with you. I really everything i did and how i made you feel all those years. I was such an idiot for letting you go and throwing this whole relationship away." She says while still crying, Jaehyun felt like something was off from thia sudden call. At beginning he was a little excited ?? About it, but now it all seems weird. Did Jessica really changed suddenly?

"I'm sorry, but why are you calling me this late?" He asks expecting not to hear what he thinks.

"Oh yeah, i'm sorry. I've been crying all night and didn't even realize what time is it. Well, basically, my now ex boyfriend broke up with me." Jaehyun rolls his eyes and sighs annoyed.

"Jessica, do you think I'm a joke? I've been the best boyfriend i can for the past years and now you just come back to me just because you are now alone."

"Jae, baby, it's not like that. I just realized you are the right one for me." Jaehyun interrupts her.

"Jessica, goodbye. I'm sorry, but i can't keep like this." He lays in his bed and places his hands in his head out of frustration.

for the past few weeks Jessica has been calling every night, even sending texts and everything. Every single night Jaehyun feels more miserable and confused. Did Jessica really change and he should give her an opportunity? Or will she break his heart one more time? Those were the thoughts that were going on in his head daily, until he was having dinner with his coworkers and saw Jessica being really flirty and touchy with another guy at the other side of the restaurant.

he stares at his ringing phone again and he just keeps playing with it in between his hands thinking it he should answer or not. After hesitating for a while he answers and hears the voice of his ex girlfriend on his ear.

"Jae."

"Jessica, stop it. Don't try to look like a victim, like you regret it all, i saw you a couple days ago on a date with a guy. Do you think i deserve this? What goes on with you that you want to keep playing with people's heart. I'm sorry but I'm not going back to you." He hangs up the phone before even letting her talk again and stares at the ceiling one more time trying to composed his confused mind.

he goes back to the office on friday, with no energy of showing a nice attitude to anyone and not wanting to see anyone either. He is sitting in his desk chair, when he sees the beautiful honey eyed girl entering the door, he feels how his whole body, mind and mood flips upside down and he can't help but laugh to himself.

maybe love wasn't that hard, he met y/n a moth ago and even if it seemed rushed, he felt already so happy whenever she was around. He spent many night confused between if he should give Jessica an opportunity or if he should ask y/n out. He felt dumb for even considering having something with Jessica once again when y/n just demonstrated to be the nicest girl ever.

"Jaehyun, are you feeling okay?" Y/n looks at him worried, trying to figure him out.

"Uhm, no, no. I mean yes! Why? What do you mean?" Y/n smiles at seeing her boss being so funny without wanting to. He laughs back when he realizes the beautiful smile he has in front of him.

"Nothing, you just looked a little bit down, that's it."

"No, don't worry it's nothing. I just didn't felt so good last night." He gives a warming smile and y/n nods.

everyday with y/n felt great, but today was a little bit different. He felt like a teenage that was flustered because his crush noticed him. When y/n asked if he was okay, he felt a whole zoo in his stomach. How could she be so perfect by doing so little stuff? After a few hours of just talking about work, Jaehyun suddenly felt like saying something to y/n.

"Y/n?"

"Yes, Jaehyun?"

"Why if you let me take you on a date and i tell you why was i feeling down?" Jaehyun bites his lower lip playfully but also feeling nervous to see if she was going to accept his proposal.

"Wow, Jaehyun, i don't even know what to say." She laughs and her cheeks start turning red, and Jaehyun finds it adorable.

"Yes, i would love to go on a date with you, so we can talk about a few more things as well." Y/n's mood suddenly turned a little bit flirty and teasing which definitely let Jaehyun be even more excited about tonight.
