Flower of a Poisonous Seed Part 21

Part 20:

The only thing written on the whiteboard in the Demon Bull King's study was the word "flowers" in Nezha's handwriting.

The Demon Bull Family, Nezha, and Li Jing were trying to come up with what they'd do for Wukong's 7,000th birthday.

It wasn't as easy as they'd hoped.

For one thing, Wukong still hadn't fully recovered from surgery, and it was unclear as to whether or not he would recover in time for his birthday activities. Another thing to consider was that Wukong would still be sick even if he did manage to recover from the surgery in time.

And even then, they still weren't sure what Wukong would like to do for his birthday.

RS: Why can't we just ask him?

PIF: Because we're his family, and we ought to do something nice for him. He's been such a joy in each of our lives, and we ought to show him we care.

RS: But doesn't Uncle already know how much we care about him?

Nezha: This is Wukong we're talking about.

RS: Fair point. But what even are we going to do? "Flowers" isn't much to go off of.

Jing: Why can't we just throw a gala in his name and call it a day?

Nezha: Because, Father, Wukong gets far too anxious in crowds for us to even consider throwing any sort of party for him.

PIF: Poor baby, he got so nervous when my husband and I took him out to eat a few months back.

DBK: My brother wouldn't let go of my fur the whole time we were there. He could barely even speak up enough to order himself a salad, he was so nervous.

Nezha: Public outings are off the table, so is there anything else any of you can think of. I can only think of things we can do around the house, and Demon Bull King can't even fit inside my place. Wukong specifically requested that he be involved.

RS: My only ideas involve cake.

Jing: What kind of cake?

RS: Flower themed cake, obviously.

DBK: What kind of flowers?

RS: Um... the... regular kind?

PIF: We're going to have to do better than that for Wukong.

Nezha: Agreed. In the meantime, we can consider the flavor of the cake. What would be the point of the cake if not to eat it?

DBK: Yes, but what flavor?

Jing: Peach, of course.

Everyone else: NO!

Jing: Why not? He loves peaches!

Nezha: That was before his illness caused him to vomit whenever he consumed one. Citric acid doesn't sit well with him.

Jing: Oh. That's unfortunate.

RS: I once offered him a peach without knowing, and my poor uncle cried so hard.

Jing: Okay, so nothing peach related. Is there any fruit he can consume that he does like?

Nezha: Coconuts, apples, watermelon, raspberries, blueberries, any type of berry really...

RS: Did you memorize all his favorite foods?

Nezha: *smiles and shrugs* I love him very much, is all.

Jing: *raises eyebrow*

Nezha: Ugh, we're still just friends, Father. You can love someone platonically, you know.

RS: Raspberry cake sounds lovely!

DBK: And coconut shavings would make a good topping.

PIF: What about the frosting? What flavor should that be?

Nezha: Chocolate, maybe?

DBK: We may have to come back to that one.

~~~

Wukong wakes up in his recovery room to a certain dark-furred monkey sleeping with his head against his chest.

"I thought you were supposed to be monitoring me, silly."

Macaque had visited Wukong in the hospital soon after hearing about the surgery. Wukong never expected Macaque to be so worried about him.

It was during that time that they managed to catch up and come to be on better terms with each other.

Wukong being hospitalized gave them the opportunity to sit down and talk about subjects long overdue. Sorries, praises, and "I missed you"s were said by both monkeys.

They even talked about where to go from there.

"Caque, I don't want us to be an us again. I don't want to be an us with anyone for that matter. I'm done with that. I don't want to give myself away to anyone who isn't him. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I get it. I... I just wish I appreciated you when I had you... and hadn't rejected you way back when. Maybe this *gestures to Wukong's bandages* wouldn't be happening if I didn't."

"Maybe it's a good thing you did."

~~~

PIF: MACAQUE!!!!!!!!!

Mac: *jolts awake* AAAAAAAAH!!!!! What??? What is it???!!!!

PIF: YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE MONITORING WUKONG!!!!!!!!!!

Mac: AAAAAAAAH!!!! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep!!!!

PIF: *raises fan to hit him*

Mac: *shadow teleports away*

[anemoiawithatouchofobsession]

My old Sageuk script, revised! ----- Madam Jung : Where is Yoo-hwa? She should have been here by afternoon. 유화가 어디냐? 오후까지 왔어야 했는데. Myeong Ae: She's in the palace today I think the Prince has taken a liking to her. 유화가 궁에 있아옵니다. 세자저하께서 언니한테 관심이 생겼다는 소문을 들었아옵니다. Madam Jung : I see. I hope she doesn't get swayed by the Prince to stay at the court. 그리하구나. 세자저하께 교태전에 남아있으라는 말 안듣게... Mi Hee : Why? If the Prince likes her, she might receive a lot of money. And maybe she will become his concubine! 왜 그렇습니까? 세자저하께서 언니를 좋아하신다면, 돈을 받고, 어쩌면 저하의 첩이 될지도 모릅니다! Madam Jung : Not every gisaeng's path leads to the court. Yoo-hwa is too naive to get into politics, and is too skilled to be an entertainment to the Royal family. 모든 기생들의 길이 궁까지 가야 할 필요 없다. 우리 유화가 너무 흔들리기 쉬워서 궁정과 정치에 멀리서 있어야 해. 또한, 왕실의 오락거리일뿐이 되기에는 얘가 너무 숙련되어있는데. Jin Yi : I've heard that the Consort Hee of the Jang family is a very greedy woman. Yoo-hwa would suffer a lot if she gets in that woman's way. As someone who has seen her since she was young, I am worried. 장씨 희빈마마께 욕망이 많은 여자라고 들었어요. 유화는 그 분에게 방해가 된다면 큰 고통을 겪게 될 건데. 얘를 오랫동안 보는 분이라서 걱정이 되옵니다. Jang Sook : Consorts are always greedy. I don't understand why. The court is splitting like a watermelon, the nation is being attacked on the shores, and these women give birth to four of five babies for what? For the land they receive? For their son to be the next king? So they can be the Queen Dowager and order their own son and the court around? 빈궁들은 항상 욕심이 많군요. 왜 그런지 이해하지 않아. 우리 궁정은 수박처럼 갈라지고 있고, 우리 나라는 해안에 심한 공격당하고 있는데도, 이 여자들은 무엇 때문에 계속 4명이나 5명의 아기를 낳습니까? 받는 땅을 위해서요? 아들이 생기면 그 불쌍한 아이가 다음 왕이 되기 위해서요? 대비가 되어 아들과 궁정을 명령할 수 있기 위해서요? Madam Jung : (raises hand) We are no one to judge someone else's situation and decisions in life. All we can do is live with it and give the children an example of how to,nor how not to, lead life. 우리는 다른 사람의 상황과 결정을 판단하는 사람이 아니다. 우리가 할 수 있는 것은 우리대로 먹고살고 우리 아이들에게 삶을 사는 방법에 대한 예를 드는 것일뿐이다.

Madam Jung : Cheon-geum-ah? 천금아? Cheon-geum  : Yes, mother 네, 어머님 Madam Jung : You are the closest to the age of 16 among the training gisaengs. Am I right? 여기 아이들 중에 16세 넘은 아이 너냐? Cheon-geum  : True, mother. 맞사옵니다 Madam Jung : Then, have you decided on a gisaeng name yet? 그럼, 기생이름을 선택했느냐? Cheon-geum  : No, mother. 아니옵니다 어머님 Madam Jung : Why so, when I have reminded you mamy times? 몇 번 말을 했던게요, 그럼 왜? Cheon-geum : (stutters slightly, in a quieter voice) I- I intend not to take on a gisaeng name, mother. 저- 저는 기생 이름을 생기는 생각이 없아옵니다, 어머님 Wol-hyang : (looks at Eui-hye with a look of worry) Madam Jung : May I know the reason? 이유를 좀 전할할 수 있을까? Cheon-geum  : (voice becoming more firm) My mother gave me a name that I think is fitting to me. I want to be a heavenly lyre player even when I'm a gisaeng. Please understand this young girl's wish, mother. 이 소녀의 애미는 저에게는 잘 어울리는 이름을 지으셨다고 생각을 하느니, 기생이 되도 지금 이름대로 천상의 거문게꾼으로 유명하고 싶은 이 소녀의 순한 마음을 이해주십시오 Soon-ryeon : (leans over to Wol-hyang and whispers) when is her birthday? In how many months? 얘 생일 언젠데? 몇월? Wol-hyang : ( noticing that Madam Jung jas noticed Soonryeon whispering, signals with her hand, 2 fingers. SR gives a look of "well, whatever" and continues eating.) Madam Jung : (slightly angry) So you think these reasons give you the freedom that your friends don't have? What makes you think you have a choice? 그럼 네 친구들이 없는 자유가 네가 갖고 있는 줄 알았느냐? 선택이 있는 생각을 어떻게 들 수 있느냐? Cheon-geum : (quiet but firm) None of the other girls were born to a gisaeng and raised to be one. I have never known anything else but being a gisaeng. How can I change my name? 다른 얘들은 기생의 몸에 타어나지 않았고 기생이 되기 위해 키웠던 게 아니옵니다. 이 소녀는 기생의 삶 밖에 모른데, 어떻게 온 인생이 담긴 그 이름까지 버릴 수 있는 겁니까? Madam Jung : (breathes in sharply) Listen here, child... 아이야, 한 번 들어봐 Mi-hee : (signals to Madam Jung to let her deal with it) Cheon-geum-ah, think again. All of us have gisaeng names. 천금아, 또다시 생각해보렴. 우린 다 기생이름은 있다. Hwa-myeong : I am also the daughter of a gisaeng. I know that you're proud of your name, but I'm sure your mother would appreciate it if you followed the tradition. 저도 기생딸이라서 이름이라는 것에 대한 자랑스음 아주 잘 알아. 그래도, 우리 기생민의 전통을 따라하면 좋겠다. Myeong-ae : ... it is, in the end, what she did too. It wouldn't be wrong to do so. 천금양 어머니도 결곡엔 그렇게 했느니, 니 잘못이 아니라단다... Hwa-myeong : You think it would be disrespectful to your mother, isn't it? 이름을 바뀌는 것은 어머니에게 무례할 거라고 생각을 하냐?? Cheon-geum  : (nods timidly) Mi-hee : I can assure you, it isn't. In fact, I'm sure your mother, if she were here, would tell you to leave your pride behind and do the same as all your seniors, and be a honourable gisaeng. You understand? 장담할건대, 그렇지는 않아. 천금애미께 여기 계셨다면, 자존심은 버리고 모든 선배들과 똑같이 하고, 훌륭한 기생이 되라고 말씀하실 거예요. 이해했나? Cheon-geum  : (lowers her head at the sudden interjection of the seniors, embarrassed) I understand. I will think about it. 알겠아옵니다. 생각을 할 겁니다. Madam Jung : Lift your head up. I will give you time until the day before your 17th birthday. Have you understood? 고개를 들어라. 17번째 생일의 날까지 시간을 줄게. 알아들어시게. Cheon-geum  : Yes, mother. 네, 어머님

Jang Sook : Madam, isn't it commonplace to name the girls as soon as they enter the gyobang? 마님, 평소에는 ���런 소녀들에게 교입할때 기생이름을 지우는 것은 맞습니까? Madam Jung : You are right, Mrs. Jang. But I feel like a child should be able to enjoy her name before having it taken away from her. 맞는 말씀이십니다.그렇지만, 이 아가들이 자신의 이름과 그것의 뜻을 알고 즐기는 시간을 주고 싶다고 생각하옵니다. Jin-yi : This gyobang really seems like the only one in the kingdom to do so. 온 왕국에서 이 교방은 이것을 하는거 유일한 것 같죠... Jang Sook : I have heard of another gyobang in the Pyongyang region, where they allow the girls to choose which field they study in, isn't that good too, madam? 평양쪽 또다른 교방에서 교입하는 소녀들에게 각자의 공부의 길을 선택하는 것을 허락하는 게 들었는데, 그리하는 것도 좋아하지 않습니까? Madam Jung : I disagree with that. I know that some of the best gisaengs especially in dancing and singing have come from that gyobang, but the gisaengs there lack an all-round education. A gisaeng should be able to do anything. 아닙니다. 저 교방 출신 기생들은 특히 무용과 창으로 아주 유명하지만, 모든 필요한 실력을 갖이지는 아니다. 기생이 모든 게 잘할 수 있어야 됩니다. Myeong-ae : I agree, mother. There is no reason a gisaeng who excels at poetry would also excel at dancing. 동의하옵니다, 어머님. 시를 잘 쓰는 기생은 무용을 잘 할 리 없네요. Soon-ryeon, Eui-hye and Hwa-jung : (look at  Wol-hyang with a smile, almost as if taunting her for her two left feet.  Wol-hyang lets out a sigh and stuffs her mouth with rice) Mi-hee : (notices  Wol-hyang, smiles) Mi-soon-ah (referring to Myeong-ae by her gisaeng name) , to realise you're wrong, you don't need to look far. 미순아, 잘못의 말씀을 했던 게 이해하기 위해 멀리서 보지마오. Wol-hyang : (even more embarrassed, she cowers and keeps on stuffing rice into her mouth) Mi-hee : I'm sitting right here, am I not, mother? 저 여긴 앉아 있지 않으나요, 어머님? Wol-hyang : (surprised at the sudden relevation, looks up) Madam Jung : I remember. 기억하단다. Mi-hee : (continues) There were days I practiced until my legs bruised, and I thought of Yoo-hwa (Yi-rin's gisaeng name) and cried, because I wasn't even as good as her toenail when it came to dancing. 유화의 발끝만큼도 춤을 못출 수 있단 것을 생각하며 울었고, 제 다리가 다쳤을적까지 연습하는 나날들이 있었군요 Myeong-ae : (laughs) And weren't there days I made the floor wet with my tears, as my voice cracked at all the songs, Geum-wol? 나도 노래할때 이상한 소리가 내서 내 눈물로 바닥을 젖은 날들이 있었다, 기억하나, 금월아? Hwa-myeong : I remember crying while playing the drums - I hit my head with a drumstick. (laughter erupts across the room) . I got a big red boil on my head like an egg. It's practice, practice and again practice, that made us to be as skilled as we are. (turns to Wolhyang) There's no need to worry at all. If there is a will, there is a way. 나는 복을 치다가 울었던 기억이 난데요 - 복에 내 머리를 부딪쳤다고... 이마가 겨란처럼 빨갛게 부어올랐어요. 역시, 연습, 연습 그리고 연습이 우리를 이렇게 만들어. 월향아,너 걱정하기가 필요없다. 너 이젠 마음 먹었으니 길이 발견될테니. (Wolhyang : bends her head, half in shame, half in relief. The seniors and Madam Jung smile, and everyone continues eating)

[ xxx ] - editors' notes

♡ intro

Changbin tries to motivate the members to come in. Chichi is standing next to Hyunjin, making a little ponytail. „But can we not come at all?!" She exclaims laughing. [ members really want to go home! ]

Changbin hugs the members in greeting, then pre-checking the condition of their bodies. When he hugs Chichi, he pulls away surprised.

"What? Her grip is really strong! I hardly felt the difference between her and Bang Chan!”

Chichi smiles embarrassed, the editors add a cute teddy bear sound. [ Bang Chan Junior?! ]

It's time to measure members’ biceps. Changbin wraps the measure around Ichi's arm.

"What?"

"What?" The other members immediately stand by, interrupting the previous activities. Ichi looks surprised too.

"37cm."

Han and Felix sit down slowly. "How much?!"

"How is that even possible?!"

Chichi tilts her head like a listening puppy. "I exercise too!" [ the members never cease to surprise each other ]

Han doesn't believe it and for the rest of the measurement he stands with Chichi in the background comparing their shoulders, the girl continuing to giggle, covering her face.

♡ InBody Test

Changbin holds Chichi's results in hands.

"She really is made of muscles." Chan says, looking over Changbin's shoulder. Changbin nods.

"But there could be more body fat though."

"Then feed me better!" She exclaimed at once as a joke.

"I should start cooking for you then." Minho says and Felix nods.

„Me too.” [ CHICHI, the most spoiled fake maknae ]

♡ Flexibility Test

"Chichi gets banned from this at start!" Han exclaimed, pointing accusingly at her. "Who would win against past ballerina?!"

"Is it my fault?!" She called out in reply as she stood up and she and Han pretend to start a fight. Felix grabs her by the arms and pulls her away, laughing.

"It's Chichi who will be the judge then!" Changbin called. [ a worthy successor to coach dwaekki! ]

"But let her judge by doing the split anyway!" Said Minho, and Chichi gave him a terrified look. "Let her suffer with us!" [ one for all, all for one… ]

So, Chichi watched members’ matches all the while doing splits on the floor. Seungmin walked over to her and patted her head.

"Don't worry. You were always short anyway." [ dwaekki gym or chichi roast? ]

♡ Planks

Minho took several breaks during it, so he unofficially failed the task. Of course, he couldn't be alone in this. When Chichi was doing an exercise with Hyunjin, Minho sat on her and she fell to the floor in surprise, and she started to hit the floor as a sign that she was giving up. [ someone save this baby tiger... ] / [ "why is everyone bullying me today?!" ]

Fortunately, both were great at jumping rope, so further sabotage was unnecessary.

While Han is jumping (or trying to) on a rope, Chichi and Seungmin in the background are trying to get on one of the machines (which of course could not be physically climbed, but who will stop them?). During one of the close-ups of Jisung, a loud bang is heard in the background. In the next shot, Chichi and Seungmin are already sitting with the others, next to each other, holding back their laugh.

♡ Beginner or Advanced?

Chichi was placed in the Advanced group even though Minho, Hyunjin and Jeongin were in favor of putting her in the Beginner group. [ bullying Chichi continues… ]

♡ Beginner Level Training

As Seungmin, Changbin, and Felix do demonstrative squats, Chichi sits down with Hyunjin on one of the treadmills behind them.

"This is a better view than in a fruit shop!" She exclaimed in delight, Hyunjin laughs loudly and claps. [ what is she talking about? are butts like watermelons or melons? too many questions... ]

Chichi watches Minho and tries to do a squat, deliberately falling to the floor in the process.

"Coach, can you help me too?" She asks, pouting out her lower lip pleadingly.

"You don't need help!" Changbin called, gesticulating. "We all know you don't need help! You don't even belong to this group, get out!”

Chichi lowers her head pretending to be sad and leaves the room. [ failing to get attention from the coach ]

* EP.30 *

Han and Chichi dance tango in the background, doing a million unnecessary pirouettes. Changbin speaks about each member.

"Chichi."

Chichi immediately runs over and stands to attention, pretending that she wasn't fooling around earlier at all.

"Chichi exercises regularly, right?"

"Right."

"And she trained regularly in the past as well, right?"

"Right."

"That's why you should all follow her as example."

The editors used the teddy bear sound again as Chichi smiles sheepishly, puffing out her cheeks slightly. Han and Jeongin pretend to have a cough, in the intervals of which "nerd" and "teacher's pet" is heard.

♡ Bench Press

Chichi massages Jeongin in the background as soon as he finishes his barbell warm-up, then unfazed, she does hers. When after the warm-up it was time for real weights, Chichi lay down on the bench, pouting and puffing her cheeks slightly in thought.

"60kg? 60kg…”

"Too much?" Chan asked immediately.

"Not at all!" she laughed. [ don't underestimate the spirit of the tiger! ]

Changbin glances at Chan, then back at her.

"80kg?"

"Mhm. Let's make it 80kg."

So Chan adds weights and stands behind the bench where her head was to belay her while Changbin stood over her with his legs spread apart, with her lying on the bench between his legs. Chichi flushed her cheeks, laughing nervously.

"Yeah, I feel much safer now!"

Changbin lowered his head immediately, his blush and small cute smile were not visible on the camera.

♡ Deadlifting

"I do not like this." Chichi laughs lightly as she stands next to Jeongin and rubs her wrists. "It's a bit too boring for me."

After advices from Felix, it was her turn. She took the right position and moved her eyebrows significantly towards Chan, who immediately understood what was going on, with a smile. He added weights again and in this exercise Chichi also lifted 80kg. Changbin belayed her while standing behind her, but he looked away from time to time, pressing his lips into a thin line [ even coach dwaekki was speechless? but why? ]

♡ Squats

"I love squats." Chichi starts jumping in place like a rabbit. "That was my specialty!" She exclaims happily, the editors put a squeaking sound under her jumps [ advanced group seems a bit livelier! ]

Chichi walks over to the barbell and assumes the position, glancing behind her back at the other members. "What? Won't you cover my butt?!"

"No."

"No. There is no need." Han announced and along with Jeongin and Chan they sat down behind her to get a better view. [ Stray Perverts? ]

♡ Eating & Drinking

Changbin hands a shake to Seungmin and Chichi sitting next to him. After unwrapping her gym gifts, she and Han play volleyball in the background with a massage ball [ some kids have short attention spans... ]

"My New Year goal?" Chichi thinks for a moment. “I would love to get back into doing barbell squats. I forgot how much joy it gives me. I focused on other exercises and neglected them a bit. I would like to go back to them and beat my previous record of 95 kg.”

"I'll help you." Changbin replied as soon as Chichi finished speaking.

Chichi covers her face with her hair immedietely [ coach dwaekki, always ready to help! ]

[littleapocalypsekitten]

I could not go to work this morning because the door seals on my car were frozen shut. Partner got to work just fine, apparently, my old car has a bit of a defect - I tried all of the doors (very willing to clamber over seats to get in the driver's seat if need be), but nothing budged. I even tried pouring hot water in the jams. My area does not always get Arctic conditions, but this week, it did and we have no garage. I was actually quite toasty in the layers I dressed in, but my car is a wimp. I wound up having to call out today and had it arranged to come in on one of my originally-scheduled days off later this week. I am wondering if God might have been saving me, just a little bit. You see, I've got a co-worker in my department, an older guy, who's MAGA and a Musk-fan. He doesn't work closely with me on my specific task - I am partnered with others (cut fruit in a produce department), but he's in and out with stocking things on the floor. He's not my manager, but he comes in, converses as he gets things. I actually like him a lot because he's friendly and helpful. He's hardworking and a great co-worker. But, GOD, I wish he would stop bringing up politics when he comes to the back room. He doesn't do it every day, but he does it sometimes. I have expressed (to others) that I feel it inappropriate to have political discussions at work. We're just in a damn grocery store, we're supposed to just do our jobs and not get into anything contentious. Talking about the weather or pets or food or the poor quality of the watermelons we get in winter is fair game, but he's very into just going on about politics and world events sometimes in a way that I know he's getting all his news from FOX. He seems to be particularly afraid of immigrants (despite us having had a guy working with us for a while, but he was from the Netherlands, so he was probably "okay"). I wonder if he would have come in today talking about the innagurpeachment (er, wishful thinking, inauguration) and / or complaining about people accusing poor baby genius Elon of the Sieg Hiel when it was "something else!!!" That is, I wonder if God in their infinite kindness to me was sparing me from dealing with uncomfortable conversations at work (when I would have just. wanted. to. dismember. cantelopes. goddamitt). I am very low on the totem-pole there (a part-timer who has the job as a Disability supplement) and I'm already in hot water for a few things (had to call out earlier this week from being stomach sick and it's actually somewhat frequent, I wonder if I have something serious wrong with me), so I'm kind of... quiet... most of the time. I need the money. People on tumblr and online in general are talking about screaming and shouting and protesting, not everyone has the luxury at every turn. That said, earlier conversation had me standing up (pre-election) as a Kamala-voter. I gave him my reasons. I've done a mild crit of Elon (said that I think a lot of his inventions are actually from working with teams / his employees). He knows a bit where I stand. So, my tactic with this situation is the "continue to show that someone who disagrees with him is actually human." Be that friendly co-worker as he is friendly to me. I feel like "light gets in the cracks" sometimes. I'm not in the business of de-programming, but I have heard that it is where it starts - treating your adversary as a human being, try little tiny bits of conversation to undermine what they're into, little facts they can't turn away from. If the shit really hits the fan and we hit all out war, make this guy realize he's gonna have to kill some people he actually likes.

[leifygreeens]

What song/genre of music do you think of when you imagine the bachelor/ettes? If there was a specific artist or band for Sam, who do you think they'd be?

Oooh—I actually have thought about this! I have a playlist just for when I'm writing blurbs about the stardew valley characters, and no I don't care if any of these are predictable because I think they're accurate lmfao.

Sam

2014 Five Seconds of Summer, Shawn Mendes, and Why Don't We. His general vibe is young, reckless love. If there's a specific song in mind, I think of him as a mix between 5sos' End Up Here, She Looks So Perfect, If I Can't Have You by Shawn, and Why Don't We's Fallin' (Adrenaline)

Seb

I think he's a mix between 5sos' Voodoo Doll, Troye Sivan's Strawberries and Cigarettes, Taylor Swift's Style, and the last 90-ish seconds of Sleep Token's The Summoning. Also Conan Gray's Overdrive. He's still young and reckless, but he's a little more subdued and all over the place.

Alex

One Directions' Steal My Girl, Shawn Mendes' Wonder, and Harry Styles' Watermelon Sugar. Even though they're pretty heavy with gendered language, I have no issue imagining Alex with varying farmers while listening to these songs.

Elliott

His love definitely swerves more toward obsession and worship, so anything by Hozier, no question about it. But also Can't Take My Eyes Off You by Frank Valli is heavy Elliott energy.

Shane

Everybody Wants You by Johnny Orlando, Someone To You by BANNERS, DogBird by Madds Buckley, and Lauv's I Like Me Better. Like Seb, Shane's pretty all over the place as well. Also he makes me cry ahaha. hm.

Harvey

Harvey gave me a little bit of trouble when I first started writing. I had to think about him quite a bit to land on a genre/song for him. Anyway, Ophelia by The Lumineers, Ready Now by dodie, and The Way You Look Tonight by Michael Bublé are all Harvey coded. END ME

Maru

In My Mind by Lyn Lapid, Bubble Gum by Clairo, and Space Girl by Frances Forever. I imagine her as a pretty inexperienced and romantically repressed character (I wonder why Demetrius) so all of these songs have a certain level of melancholy about them, which is very Maru for me.

Penny

She by dodie, Conan Gray's Heather, and Lonely by Noah Cyrus. Repressed, just like Maru, but for different reasons. Never had the opportunity to really live her life, you know? Lots of insecurities and feelings of inadequacy my poor babie nO but I usually only listen to those when I'm feeling a little down. You can trust that I don't always write angst for her, and when I don't, it's loooots of early Taylor Swift.

Abigail

Very punchy, "powerful woman" type songs. Namely UPSAHL's People I Don't Like, Beautiful is Boring by BONES UK, and American Horror Show by SNOW WIFE. She has opinions and she's going to let you know what she thinks—but make no mistake, she is a loyal and good person to her core. She's just got an attitude sometimes.

Haley

Sabrina Carpenter. That's it. lmao no i'm kidding Diamonds Are Forever, Nonsense, Looking At Me, and Girlfriend by Bea Miller. I love me a mean, confident lesbian, but she does soften up the more you get to know her, and I always listen to Isabel LaRosa's I'm Yours when I want to go that route with her. I also think of her when I listen to Dress by Charlotte Sands.

Leah

Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machines, Light My Love by Greta Van Fleet, and Constellations by The Oh Hellos. She's got a certain whimsy about her, but she's still a very grounded individual. She and Elliott have a similar vibe to each other, but where he's the smell of salty sea spray and plum juice dripping from your fingers, she's frayed picnic blankets and the smell of grass after it rains.

Emily

Now this might be controversial, but Señorita by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is always gonna make me think of her. I'm Born To Run by American Authors, Enchanted by Taylor Swift (her version, obviously), are also both some of the easiest songs for me to think about her. She definitely believes in soulmates and fate, and probably makes jewelry or sews while thinking about you.

Thursday ‘Watermelon Moonshine’ Radio Prompt List

Please check the updated character list on my pinned post to see who I am writing for before submitting a prompt!

Also read the rules and do not forget to put the entire prompt into your ask!

So I'm gonna leave now and I ain't showing no warnings

And I can't wait to head on home, so I can take my gal to dance

I've been dreaming of a porch swing with some lights Hoping I can find myself back home

So won't you pray for me tonight?

They know me and Jack Daniels got a history

I got a fear dear, that it's a Friday spark You only love me like you mean it when it's after dark

She's with a new man in New York, the last time I heard

There's a bottle on the dresser by your ring And it's empty, so right now I don't feel a thing

There's never nothin' like the first time And mine's always gonna taste like Watermelon moonshine

Woke up drunk at 10 am, we gon' do this shit again

There ain't no way to ease the pain from this disease

We threw a blanket 'neath the sunset We gave each other more than our hearts

 how far a man can go before one's truly unraveled

I was his and every bit of that boy was mine

That's when I knew, that brown-eyed girl was mine

There's a party up ahead, an angel to my right

Playing songs 'til after midnight Staying up 'til dawn

Maybe we were drunk in love Or maybe we were just...

Comin' alone to the gallows

Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey

We got the world in our hands and we're ready to play

Lately I've been thinking I Could leave this town

Don't jump in so quick kid, you're gonna wind up hurt

I'll do whatever it takes, I'll go to my grave Protecting me and mine

If it's love, then pretty baby, I'd say that I got all that you need

Make it easier going on living Heart ache and misery

I drink because I'm lonesome, and I'm lonesome 'cause I drink

We'll be back in the morning when the sun starts to rise

I thought that high would last forever But that ain't what it does

Sweet, sweet heart of mine I'm going to break again a million times

She's hard, she's cold and she's mean

Helps me fall asleep a little bit better at night

But her kind eyes are on my heart

When it's last call and they kick us out the door

Drinkin' watermelon moonshine We cut the burn with a little lime

Never told him it was my first drink

I ain't got much money in my pocket But what I got, I'm gon' spend on you

I better slow down before I wreck Driving on the river's edge

Living on the run

Won't you get angry at me, say you love me again

I asked her lifetime no less, and no more She said, "My lifetime I'm yours forevermore,

The Yumark Breakup Again Part 1/2

Masterlist

Next Part

It has been 2 weeks, since Jisung has found out about Yuta convo with Winwin. He couldn’t stand to see Mark being so oblivious, to Yuta deceitful lies.

He decided to take matters in his own hands and called Mark. To explain everything what has Yuta done, which leads to Mark breaking up with Yuta.

However things are not always what they seem…

Back At The Dream Chat

Today 18:00

Mark🐯: SOMEONE OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW

Chenle💸: Mark have you forgotten you keys, ask Yuta. You in the wrong chat

Mark🐯: DON’T SAY THAT TWO TIMING LION NAME!!

Chenle💸: Two timing? Did Yuta lie to you again?

Chenle💸: Hyuckie, did it again hahahah

Haechan🐻: It wasn’t me this time! I swear! I have learnt my lesson, when I almost got killed by Yuta!!

Renjun🍀: Who is banging on the door? So loud, jisung if you forgot your keys, call us!

Renjun🍀: I really don’t want, to see the kids from upstairs again. They give me bad vibes

Jisung🚀: I’m in Chenle room, doing something 😊

Jisung🚀: Mark, did the right thing. Ditching that Cheater Yuta hyung, he made Mark sad :(

Jaemin🌸: Why aren’t you guys, getting the door. My poor baby Mark is out there with a sad heart

Jeno🐶: I’ll get the door and Nana bring the sad kit to Mark

After Jeno very unwilling, let Mark into the living room. Jaemin came prepared with box of tissue and some hot cocoa.

Jaemin: Mark honey, what did Yuta do this time?

Mark: *sniffs* HE CHEATED

Jisung happens to enter the living room, to grab a screw driver to help chenle with something.

Jisung from the storage closets: Yea, Yuta hyung is not loyal to Mark. I need to tell Mark before he gets hurt even more

Jaemin: Jisung? How did you found out?

Jaemin: Also why are you in the storage closet?

Jisung: I heard Yuta saying, he missed his Winnie and when I walked past them. They look guilty!!

Once Jisung finished, what he is looking for. He immediately ran to Chenle room, before Chenle throw is teddy bear out the window.

After Jisung, left there was knock on the door. Jeno grumbles again, for having to get up and saw Yuta plus Doyoung at the door.

Jeno: Mark, you lover is here + the stress Eomma

Mark: Make Yuta, go away. I don’t want to talk to him. I’m too emotional!

Jaemin: I talk to them, Jeno comfort Mark. Make sure you keep on Mark, in case he hugs another watermelon

Jeno: Fine…

Jaemin opens the door and greeted the Eomma and Son duo with a smile.

Jaemin: How about we have a talk?

Jaemin: Talking with Mark, in this state will get you nowhere. Let’s go to the downstairs coffee shop for a chat 😚

The two followed Jaemin downstairs and Jaemin starts to question Yuta.

Jaemin: Yuta, did you really cheat on Mark?

Yuta: No it was a misunderstanding, Jisung misunderstood the situation. I was trying to get rid off the bad vibes between me and Winnie

Yuta: Let me explain!

Flashback a few hours ago

At the 127 house

Mark and Yuta were enjoying some quality time together. Until Mark Phones ring. Mark picked up the phone with a smile, he saw Jisung ID.

Mark: Yuta, I will be right back. My lil bro Jisung is calling me ☺️

Yuta: Okay, cool!

10 mins later…

Mark: YUTA IM SO DONE WITH YOU!!

Yuta: *blinks* Calm down Mark

Mark: DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN. AFTER I GAVE YOU A WARNING LAST TIME. NOT TO DO IT AGAIN

It clicked in Yuta’s head, what has happened.

Yuta: Mark, it is misunderstanding. Jisung got the wrong end of the stick. Let me explain -

Mark: WE ARE DONE! I AM LEAVING!!

Mark storms out, went upstairs to pack along way. He bumped in Jungwoo and Johnny, who looks really confused as well having flashbacks, the last time it happens.

Jungwoo: We should hide, this doesn’t sound good

Johnny: I’m coming with you my lil cotton candy brother

Jungwoo: Let’s just hide, in Eomma crying spot. No one ever goes there

Jungwoo and Johnny ran to Doyoung crying spot in flash. Bracing the impact that will be upon them, when Yuta and Mark has fought.

10 mins later, there was big argument at the front door. Mainly Yuta begging Mark, to not to leave and Mark screaming. It draw the attention of Doyoung, who came rushing downstairs, when he heard the noise.

Doyoung: Yuta and Mark, what an earth are you two arguing at the door?

Mark: Tell your son, to not hold me hostage!

Yuta: Mark, let me explain and you can choose to leave or not. After I explain

Mark: No, all you do is tell lies!! I’m not falling for your tricks

Doyoung: Yuta, let Mark go for now and explain how it happens

Yuta reluctantly let Mark go. Mark ran so fast he was gone within a seconds. Yuta explains the situation to Doyoung.

Doyoung: *sighs* Yuta, you really need to be careful of your words, when you with Winwin. Especially when Jisung is around, we never know where he is

Doyoung: Last time, Jisung has caught me and your Appa having an argument. How we supposed to know, he was wondering with hyuck

Yuta: Poor boy, he must be scared. No wonder Uncle Nana doesn’t like you.

Doyoung: I have to explain Jisung, we were acting for a play. It cleared the poor boy suspicion

Doyoung: Mark should be at Nana house. Let’s go and hopefully Nana is in a good mood and not murder us.

End of flashback

Doyoung explained the situation to Jaemin. Who nods in agreement, he knows what Jisung is like, as he did it a lot of times.

Jaemin: Okay, I help you two!

Doyoung: Wait? You not mad? That Yuta accidentally made Mark cry?

Jaemin shakes his head: No, if you heard it from Jisung. It’s 100% a misunderstanding

Yuta: Great, can we please go to Mark!

Jaemin lights smacks Yuta head

Jaemin: Buddy, he won’t believe you now. Mark is stubborn, ever since he was child. It’s hard to change his mind

Jaemin: You need to tell Jisung, that it was misunderstanding and he will tell Mark and the rest is up to Mark to decide

Yuta: I will take that

Jaemin: Come I bring you two upstairs, and also don’t speak too much. We have this nosy upstairs neighbours, who happen to appear at random moments

[zensakira]

So I wrote some notes while I was watching the miraculous movie. (I didn't intend to watch it today, I was looking for something to watch and was pleasantly surprised to see it popped up on Netflix.)

With absolutely no further context, here are my notes.

================================

That is not marinettes singing voice

Doesn't fit her

Animation is beautiful

There's no chemistry between marinette and adrien

Adriens singing voice fits better

How did fu know hawkmoth's name is hawkmoth

HE GETS A SONG????

THE MIME GUY IS NOW A CRIMINAL??

MULTIPLE AKUMAS AT ONCE?

Tom is gonna embarrass her

NO SAD TOM IS SAD ME

DID THEY JUST USE A SCREAM MEME SOUND EFFECT

Ain't no way they just said they have style

THEY INCLUDED THE VOLKSWAGEN

Where did the ice cream go

I don't see the annoyance bit

THEY DID THE KOREAN THING

WHAT

Now that is chemistry

Is ladybug flirting back what happened to I'm so annoyed

ANd yOu nEeD a piAnO foR tHat??

"you've revealed a whole new world to me

And its all thanks to you"?????

IT'S BECAUSE OF PLAGG ENTIRELY

YOU SAVE THE WORLD EVERYDAY BEHIND A MASK BUT THE GIRL BEHIND THE MASK SAVED MY HEART

UGHHHGHHB CHEESE

Hang on so canonically she likes them both at the same time and recognizes that

Adrien talking back to Gabriel,???????

Sir that someone else can't go to the ball anyway besides the ball doesn't equal a date nor does it mean you want to be together in a relationship

Is it another song

It is

Lyrics need workshopping

STOP IT ADRIEN JUST GO

Hmm a lucky charm would be nice

Does he have super speed as well

Don't worry the Eiffel tower always falls

Just lucky charm it

So what exactly is the super power he gave himself

WHAT IS THIS

THE FORCE??

I will myself to be a jedi ig

Gabriel is a star wars nerd confirmed

That scratch is the only retailiation that son will ever have over father

NOT THIS CHEESY LINE AGAIN

How did she jump so high without super powers

That jump was for nothing I guess

And.... Indestructible suits??

Oh. That's why they made his eyes white at first

  where's the lucky charm coming

Hang on is this movie almost over it felt like nothing happened

Where did all the backdrop butterflies come from

SHE'S MASSIVE

DAMN GABRIEL YOU MARRIED A GIANT

Marinette it was obviously him

CHLOE SPOTTED HELPING SABRINA UP?

Hang on I'M SORRY? Construction workers have no job I guess and also what if she missed a spot, does she only reconstruct what her eyes can see???

Wait what's the point in gardening

Creation = growth? Can you help babies grow too?

Dupin? DUPIN??? IT'S DUPAINNNNNNN

Oh it's December

Wow hawkmoth gets defeated in less than half a year instead of 8 years wait no it's only been one school year in the show as well darn

Ok Chloe has a pretty dress

It's a black mask girl what point was that gonna prove

Why he crying

How did they know to meet each other outside

Wow they don't even kiss

What is the new movie after finna be about the peacock or what

Oh it's about Emilie except she's literally dead and there's no preserving pod or anything

That's it????

================================

Some final thoughts. The animation is stunning. As an animator myself I found myself admiring the beauty of the rendering very often. So the movie did this fantastically well.

But the script overall is lacking. Watermelon is a fun joke. Flea bag is a funny new nickname. But none of their interactions sound endearing or even natural. The delivery was so flat.

I understand that there are troubles in condensing a five season show into a movie. But similar to how they adapted the lightning thief into a movie, my thoughts are the same: if you're not going to do it justice don't do it at all.

There are many bits of the movie that I love, thematically, aesthetically; tHE KOREAN MOVE that playfulness was the only thing that made me feel they had chemistry. I liked their initial meeting, stumbling into each other; but every interaction after that made ladybug- marinette (oops spoilers jk) feel like a wishy washy character who can't decide between being annoyed or insecure. And even the annoyance is just so terribly expressed, its hard to tell what's genuine and what's playful. Every eye roll is accompanied with a smirk or a smile, so it feels like she doesn't mean what she says when she tells him to stop.

Also, when chat noir first falls in love with ladybug.... It doesn't feel that impactful. Like that scene of being in awe.. What are you in awe of? Vs the show scene where he witnesses her be impossibly brave, purifying like a billion butterflies at once and then essentially declaring war on hawkmoth and pledging herself to be the hero of Paris... Like that's awe inspiring. Speaking of, what happened to the gargoyle unpurified ladybug??

I've waited so many years for this movie and the aesthetics are stunning but. The delivery is just.. The script.. Aiii. And also Fu is portrayed as this more ominious crazy old man when he's supposed to be a kind old man! Though I do like that plagg and tikki are the ones who pick their holders.

Anyways. If you're reading my live notes from the movie just know that its in chronological order. Feel free to guess exactly which moment is referring to which part of the movie.

[nastya-sokolova-2002]

Narrator: In the beginning there were 7 toddlers: Hothead, Rich, Jokey, Snacker, Witty, Kindness and Sassy. And the lord said:



God: Eat all fruit in this garden. But...



Kids: But what?



God: Don't eat the forbidden fruit since they grow from the tree of knowledge, so don't eat it



Kids: Yes, dear God



(The kids are playing in the garden of Eden)



Snacker (Young Wakko): We've been here for weeks and we already tried the fruit God told us we can eat. We ate 50 bananas, 50 strawberry, 50 cherries, and 50 watermelons



Sassy (Baby Zubi): Yeah, and we have to get out fruit mashed because me, Witty, and Kindness don't have teeth yet!



Kindness (Baby Skippy): Yet God gave us the agility to talk and we're not even 18 months old yet!



(A snake appears as the kids continue to talk, a snake appears)



Snake: Hello, toddlers. This is some delicious fruit from these tree (point to the tree of knowledge)



Witty (Baby Dot): But God told us not to eat the fruit



Kindness (Baby Skippy): We would be wrong and a sin. God is our father we should always obey him so none of us will get in troub... (Hothead covers his mouth)



Hothead (Young Katie Kaboom): What Kindness is trying to say is that we'll try the apple once and no one will know!



Snake: That the spirit, kids! Now line up and you each get an apple (The snake gives each kids an apple)



(The snake leaves as the kids take a bite from the apples)



Jokey (Young Yakko): Hey, I feel funny



Rich (Young Cora): Duh, Jokey! We don't have any clothes on!



(The kids makes some clothes out of the leaves)



Witty (Baby Dot): That's better now



(suddenly hear someone coming)



Kindness (Baby Skippy): Ah! God! But the apples back before he comes!



(The kids try to put the apples back but fails)



God: Did you kids just eat forbidden fruit?



Sassy (Baby Zubi): It was the toddlers who ate it first!



Snacker (Young Wakko): Nu uh! We had to get in line first so can get apples to mash them for you! So you guys ate the forbidden fruit first!



Witty (Baby Dot): Nu uh! You just had to get your hands on the first apple, Mr greedy!



Hothead (Young Katie Kaboom): Nu uh! You wanted the first apple because you're cute!



Kindness (Skippy): Nu uh! You wanted the first apple because you're the oldest!



Jokey (Young Yakko): Nu uh! You must've wanted the first one because squirrels eat apples!



Rich (Young Cora): Nu uh! You wanted to sing a song about apple anatomy, Jokey!



(The kids start auguring and God stops them)



God: Enough! You kids have disobeyed me, I'm sorry but you have to leave (gives the kids some clothes) Here, these will keep you warm. I'll also deal with that snake



Snake: Uh oh



God: Snake, from now on will crawl and have no legs or arms, you will not talk but his



(The kids leave the garden)



Snacker (Young Wakko): I can't believe we're getting kicked out



Sassy (Baby Zubi): On the bright side, we have a whole world for ourselves with no adult supervision!



God: Wait!



Sassy (Baby Zubi): Annnd I spoke to soon



God: Here is your nanny, she will take care of you



Slappy: Come on, kids! I have a treehouse for use to live in



God: Slappy, keep an eye on those kids! Especially Hothead, because she can turn into a monster when she's mad



Slappy: Yes, my lord



(Slappy and the kids go to the treehouse)

New Day 9: Fruit

Finally making progress on this challenge! I had the finished character design for a while but kept sitting on coloring it.

Because the fruit she's based on is associated with the beach(to me lol) I wanted her fit to resemble beachwear. Right off the bat I knew I didn't want to put her in a swimsuit, so I ended up looking at popular beachwear from other countries. I decided to base it on a dress that might be from India(can't find the name for it right now sorry) then gave her a visor and wedges with straps. She has a bat as a weapon in reference to that Japanese watermelon game(the beach one, not the baby sensory one). One last note about her dress, it didn't feel right to not include fancy patterns because the reference pictures I found had them. But I also didn't want to draw them because it was going to take forever. I kept sitting on coloring the dang picture for a while, before deciding to repeat the seed tassles over and over instead. It's far from accurate to the real dresses, but at least it's finished. (Also I kinda like it, just wanted to say that)

As for the type of show she'd be in? I'd imagine it would be a softer version of Panty and Stocking. Like, she'll definitely kill people and say fuck a few times, but be way vulgar than anything in that show. The basic plot would be that our watermelon girl Tara is a retired magical girl that took out some big names in her prime. She wants to put that life of danger and violence behind her, but is constantly being targeted by someone who wants revenge. She'd be disguised at the start of each episode, but when the assassin of the week finds out her identity, she "transforms" and begins fighting. Each episode would end with her getting one step closer to finding out who wants her dead so she can live the rest of her life in peace.

As dramatic as that sounds, I'd want this imaginary series to be mostly comedic and cheecky with a hint of drama. Even the action and violence at times could be framed in a silly way to stay out of the dark edgy lane. But the aftermath of Tara's time as a magical girl would really affect her, and her desire for piece of mind would be her main motivation to solve the mystery of who wants her dead.

Anyway that's it for this post. I'm working on coloring the 1st eight magical girls I made before changing the format of this challenge. 2nd one's done but the others are still blank. I'll upload the results of that in 1 big post or 2 smaller ones before moving on to the Day 10 prompt.

Harley huffed and puffed up her cheeks as she pouted. Bud and Lou would be fine in the zoo for now, she knew that, but mama still missed her lil babies. Still, she could hardly refuse a command or course of action from her, so it was a settled matter as soon as Nina said it.

"Well, alright, that's fair. I would like to hold onto that old mixture of latex I used to have. The full body catsuit one? Ya had to really cover ya self in talcum powder to soak up the sweat you'd build up wearing that thing, but damn if it wasn't a snazzy number. You think the LAB could maybe make some ah, 'adjustments'?" As if for emphasis, Harley gave her tits a little jiggle. Sitting up, and then standing up made her a little uneasy on her feet; Nina was right, these new watermelons strapped to her chest had totally thrown off her sense of balance.

"Yeesh. Okay, yeah, gonna have to avoid heels until I can get the hang of these girls on flats. Not that I'm complainin' mind you. I could give someone the Mardi Gras special and even the Bat would probably do a double take with these things."

"What happened to my old clothes? I mean, you still got those around? Granted, those Daisy Dukes will probably end up looking more like a thong with my new PhD and my top will look like something out of a skin flick parody of me the way it'll barely come down to my nips, but at least I'd have something on. Or has the LAB already done some resizing of those things?"

The first day of the rest of your life.

@bergamo-money-bergamo-problems

Place. This was. A place. She was in. A place. Awareness. Identity. Self. She was a person. This was her, in a place.

She was naked. Utterly naked, and... hairless? That was a thing, to feel your skin so completely that you could notice the LACK of body hair. Head hair? Yes, she had that. Part of her mind could even track it. Knowledge of hair allowed a little thing to blip up and then vanish again, too quick to see. Not quite like a visual cue, but a knowledge that something was being accessed.

That she was not allowed to access it?

Her skin was flawless, pale, so pale it looked bleached. Natural, but white, not ruddy but like when she put on the makeup. She could see that, before really getting up. What else?

Well. Rounded body. Not pudgy, not in the least. Breasts. God those were massive! Perky, puffy nipples. Her hands could explore her body, feeling every smooth rounded curve, the idealized perfection.

Thoughts? Clear? But not? Something was balanced, but not really. She could think clearly, but her mind had been... assigned a target of Devotion. Not that it might conflict with what Harley was already feeling before this, because that was a given.

[Unit N4N1 is your Mistress.]

And that came with more details, as the gender-less, emotionless voice in her head provided her new frame's identifier [H4RL] her location [Breeding Room 4] and her status [Active].

She was not... 'sane'. That probably was obvious. She was also very able to be clinical, almost detached about things. But all the traits of devotion linked to her highs and lows had been set around one person...

And that person opened the door to her glass case, to the room she was 'stored' in, and came to lean over Harley, a vision of chains and black leather in a gothpunk style.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Nina asked.

a/n~ i'm depressed so i can't write but here's something till i get back to writing. i'll prolly vanish again

☁️mikey

mikey was busy reading a manga when you plopped down next to him on the sofa.

you didn't say anything for a few minutes and he kept reading on, thinking nothing of it. now what you were going to ask could be interpreted as absurd or even illogical by him so you were a bit hesitant to approach him about this.

he was your best friend though. time and time again he has offered to help you and stated that you could always come to him if you needed any help. he wouldn't judge you, right?

"hey mikey..." you began.

"hmm?"

"so... i have been having trouble falling asleep lately,"

"oh, why?"

"i don't know about that but uhm, i kind of wanted to ask for a small favor." you said before quickly adding. "only if you are okay with it, of course. no pressure."

leaving his manga aside, he shifted his position and was now completely facing you. "what is it, y/n?"

"could you keep talking while i try to sleep? just talk about anything in general, i don't really care but don't stop till you think i have fallen asleep."

mikey stared at you for a couple of seconds, just blinking before asking, "you want me to keep talking while you try to sleep?"

you nodded.

"but wouldn't that be distracting?"

"no actually. your voice..." you cleared your throat. "your voice is very soothing. and it helps me calm down. whenever you're talking, i feel at ease. i have noticed it quite a few times. i don't wanna resort to pills so i thought of asking you first."

slowly, very slowly pretty pink started creeping up his round cheeks. his eyes softened and he clicked his tongue in hopes of hiding the blushing smile threatening to show his real emotions. so he turned away from your observing gaze, suddenly feeling overwhelmed.

"is that so, hun..." he got off the sofa and sat at the carpet now. "here-" he placed a cushion. "lay down and get comfortable, kay? i'll- do you need a blanket?"

"nah i am fine." you got conformable and he nodded in response. "it's too hot, can you switch on the a/c though?"

"cool, shall we start?" you gave him an affirmative nod but he looked a little confused.

"what is it?" you questioned.

"uh, what should i talk about?"

"anything mikey, really. talk to me like you normally do, it would definitely work. you have a pretty voice."

a cough was let out by the blond to cover up his smile. boy was his heart racing. he was on cloud nine today.

and he began. talking about his shenanigans with the founders since his early childhood, and he didn't even realise how invested he got in the stories, replaying it all in front of you so happily, that he forgot what he actually was supposed to be doing this for.

"and then you know what hap-" his charcoal black eyes, usually devoid of emotions darted towards you.

you slept like a little baby. with one arm under your head and one on the pillow, you were curled up. your breathing was slow and light. your body moved up and down gently due to your shallow breathing. and he noticed then how there was a small smile adorning your face.

"beautiful..." was all he could say and he never realised when his thoughts slipped past his lips. well good for him, you were in a very deep sleep to hear his words.

he spent the next five minutes staring at your pretty sleeping form before releasing how creepy it was to stare at someone who's sleeping so he scrambled to get a hold of that manga he was reading.

"oi Mikey-" draken opened the door, rather harshly.

"shhh!" mikey glared at his best friend with a finger to his lips.

"wha-"

"y/n is sleeping. don't make so much noise." he whisper-yelled.

"oh, sorry." draken mumbled before pointing at the watermelon in his hands, effectively delivering the question to which the 5'3 nodded excitedly.

tip-toe-ing to the dining table, behind the living room he made a beeline towards the watermelon. "we'll save some for them too. remind me to give them, soon as they wake up."

☁️draken

"draken, are you busy right now?" you asked as you closed the door to the room you just entered.

The aforementioned person looked up and smiled. "oh hey y/n. no i am not, what's up?"

"i... uh... i kind of wanted to ask for a favor if that's alright with you."

"favor you say. let's hear it."

"yes, so uh lately i have been having some trouble falling asleep. don't ask why because i myself don't know but it's annoying to say the least. it leaves me all tired and exhausted the next day. pills are a stronger option, so i wanted to ask if you could help me a little."

"me?" he frowned. "how can i help in this?"

"well you know when I used to be a kid, i used to lay in my mom's lap and she would gently pat my ear. the sound of the rotating fan and then the muffled sound as soon as she would cover the ear canal, would always lull me to sleep. you can say it's one of my favourite sounds."

draken nodded, getting the message. "but are you sure you are comfortable with laying on my lap?"

turning to him, you flashed him a genuine smile. "i trust you draken and i feel safe when you are around. that's why i came to you instead of anyone else."

place a stethoscope against his chest and hear how crazy his heart started beating. had he not have mastered the art of always showing a grumpy face since his childhood, it would have been painfully obvious he was blushing.

draken knows he looks intimidating and his image as a gang member, doesn't help him much. but to think you feel safe with him so much so that you are willing to be vulnerable in his vicinity as well as asking him to help you, made him so very happy, you have no idea.

"sure, you wanna try it right now?" the sun was setting, casting an orange-ish glow to the room. with the cool atmosphere and comfortable lighting, this was the perfect opportunity for an afternoon/evening nap.

"i mean if it's okay with you then yes please. i am exhausted." you emphasised. one look at your dark circles and he didn't question further.

nodding his head, he patted his lap. draken was a large man, standing at 6'1 and bulky so it wasn't a surprise that his lap felt more like a warm pillow. a smile immediately crept up your face. it felt oh-so comfortable, plus he was warm.

he started gently, slowly. trying and testing. his eyes not leaving your face for even a second, he was trying to decipher what worked best based on your expressions. you took in a deep breath and let out a heavy sigh. peace.

later he realised it had been quite some time and your breathing had started decreasing until it was shallow. you looked so peaceful. like someone finally at rest after a long day of work.

he just couldn't help but smile, a big one. a happy one. having you so close to him, resting as the sun went down and sleeping on his lap made him let out a happy chuckle. he pushed aside some hair that had covered your face due to the light breeze coming in from the open shoji doors.

you looked so soft and pretty. he wanted to kiss your face right then and there. but for now, he layed back, against the back rest and went deep into the slumber land.

this was nice.

☁️kazutora

"kazu?" you called.

"yeah?" he replied.

it was a very pleasant weather today. the sky was clear with a few clouds floating above. cool breeze touched your skin, your hair, which were spread in all their glory - or not if they are very short - on the grass, ruffling slightly as you both laid on the soft, green grass staring up at the sky. it was kazu's idea to go to the hills and spend some alone, peaceful time, away from the hustling and bustling city life.

you couldn't deny. how could you? you often found yourself giving into whatever kazutora has to offer - it's always good though - it's kinda hard to say no to this cutie. he is just so adorable with his big golden eyes and cute puffy cheeks and awefully adorable laugh. you are just so mesmerized by him. but he doesn't need to know that, he would surely take it's disadvantage.

though you love everything about him, his voice - especially when he sings or even hums a tune - brings tranquility and solace to your often anxious mind. his voice is definitely your favourite thing about him. he brings peace and calmness like no other. ironic for someone with a not-so peaceful and calming past. but that's his beauty.

in all honesty all the credit goes to him, for his non-stop, determined efforts and his wonderful therapist. these two are doing amazing these past few years and bringing great results too. you are glad to have been able to witness his journey and outcomes alike. you are so very proud of him.

you turned from looking at the sky to his pretty face. cute.

"love, can you sing for me please?"

"hun?" you caught him off-gaurd. despite your love for his voice, you don't usually ask him to sing. wanting to save it for only special moments. "why all of a sudden?"

"i have been having trouble sleeping these past few weeks. i thought i'll just suck it up till i finally get back on track but this problem only seems to get worse." you let out an exhausted sigh. "so i thought maybe if your singing or even humming a tune could get me a wink of sleep, i'll be a happy human."

he let out a laugh, "you should have told me sooner, pretty." he traced his fingers on the outline of your face, taking in how gorgeous you looked to him before sinking his face and placing a feathery kiss to your lips. "sure."

and then he began, singing lyrics to a song you both loved. pushing his shoulder down, you moved to lay your head on his chest, wrapping your arms around his upper torso. he continued singing and his hands continued rubbing your sides.

you don't know when you fell asleep but you bet it was one of the best sleeps you had. being with him was heaven on earth.

☁️baji

people often questioned baji about what was the secret to his beautiful hair? what products does he use? what fruits does he eat?

and he always responded with, "it's natural dude. all i do is oil them."

that never seemed to satisfy the interrogators because seriously? that's all it takes? they are sure he uses some secret shampoo he isn't letting them in on.

and they are right. baji has got lusciously long and thick hair. shining black with silkiness of satin itself. your fingers would slip right through the strands of his hair despite them being slightly wavy. they are not straight.

now perks of being baji's best friend is that you spend majority of your day in his house. no really because if somebody needs to contact you, the first place anyone would recommend would be the baji household. none of the bajis minded though, courtesy to you being both of them's absolute favourite.

and that is how you find yourself, sitting cross-legged on the floor between baji's legs with your head mercy to his long, slender fingers. behind you, baji was sitting on a stool whereas his mother sat on a chair with longer legs. baji sitting in between his mother's legs with his head, mercy to mrs. baji.

this is called champi in hindi. an intense massaging of the scalp with essential oils, used to strengthen and nourish the roots. while it does help in getting longer, smoother, thicker hair, it also makes people very very sleepy. i mean it is used to help relieve stress after all. and to top it all off, mrs. baji has made you both a glass of butter milk.

your head lolls in his hands and he smacks you, shouting at you to stop moving so much. but you let out an annoyed hiss because it feels so good. if you could, you would spend your entirety of your life like this. it feels as if the source of the sound is faraway but you make it out to be mrs. baji.

"they must be tired, kei. you know how it helps you sleep, right? massage the sides with your thumbs gently- yeah just like that and the bring the thumbs to rub circles on the forehead. it would help them relax. good, now-"

ten minutes later and mrs. baji is resting her head against the wall, with keisuke's head planted on her left thigh and you clinging to her son's left thigh, fast asleep.

the cooler made little rumbling noise in the background and for once, all was quite in the baji household during the day. you all definitely have to do this more often!

☁️mitsuya

your boyfriend and you had decided to spend the night together at his house. the plan was to put his sisters to bed by ten and then you two would do whatever the fuck you wanted all night. discussions reached from baking to trying a new ramen recipe to watching anime or some movies to bringing books for each other and reading in silence with each other's company and the list went on. a perfect plan, right?

wrong. had you known mitsuya was a genius at putting people to sleep - both temporarily and permanently, your boyfriend can fight - you wouldn't have agreed to this.

here you were laying down next to luna as mitsuya held mana in his arms, all four of you clumped up in a bed made for two, with limbs entangled because apart from the lilac haired, none of you held enough consciousness to move aside. too sleepy to even register about whatever the fuck he was reading from a children's book.

luna and mana were understandable, what were you doing, as a grown up person, falling asleep to mitsuya's reading was the question. you were sure, this was some sort of trick on mitsuya's part because knowingly or unknowingly he hit the nail on every single thing that lulled you to sleep!

and just like that you were knocked out, asleep. mitsuya stifled a laugh. in his view was, you in the middle with luna and mana latched on your sides like little koalas. funnily all three of you had lips parted as slight drool dribbled down.

mitsuya was aware of your troubles with falling asleep so he didn't dare wake you up. your night date could wait, you needed to get a good night's sleep first. but not wanting to leave this adorable scene and also wanting to be a part of it, mitsuya muttered a "fuck it" and wrapped his arms around mana's back.

mrs. mitsuya would be sure to click hundreds of pictures tomorrow morning because all four of her children looked so cute and sweet like this.

☁️haruki hayashida (pah-chin)

"hey, can i talk to you for a minute?" pah looked up at you and grinned.

"yo y/n, wassup?" he excitedly got up and made his way upto you.

mirroring his smile you walked upto him, "no no, wait i'm coming."

squatting down, you pet Pochi's head to which the dog wagged their tail happily. you were one of the few people Pochi actually liked.

"though you're always welcome at my house and i always look forward to when you come but can i ask why are you here right now?" he religiously hoped he didn't come out rude. you were probably the only person after mikey and draken which he actually wanted to impress and actually respected.

"ah," you chuckled nervously, dreading the talk you came here for. "about that."

you stood up, signalling Pochi to walk away. shifting on your feet and eyes swerving left to right you thought upon your words again as if you hadn't prepared a pre-designed monologue because this was embarrassing.

"i wanted some help..."

absolutely elated about the fact that you came upto him for help he asked excitedly. "oh? what is it?"

"well, actually, the thing is..." taking a deep breath you said. "can i sleep in your bed?"

eyes shut close, the embarassment and horror of what you just said started settling in.

who the fuck says that?!

"...come again?"

a groan, "look, remember the time when our parents went out for dinner together and we decided to have a movie night? but i fell asleep so you brought me to your bed? well i have never slept like i did that night. it was fucking amazing. and the problem is, i can't seem to fall asleep as of late. i have no idea why but i desperately need it. so please can i sleep in your bed?"

there was silence in the big room. pin drop silence. deafening silence.

"...okay." he nodded. "i mean if it helps you then uh sure."

you tilted your head, confused because pah's face looked seconds away from exploding. he was bright red.

"are you sure?"

"y-yeah." he replied. "do you wanna go to my room right now?"

and that's how you ended up in his bed, tugged inside the comforter on a soft satin pillow.

"right... so uh i'll be leaving then-"

"no wait! uhm can you... like... stay here?" you didn't dare look at him. "please?"

fumes were escaping his nostrils and ears. his eyes were wide and lips tugged inside by his teeth. oh how much he struggled with breathing and not showing what a mess he was, only he and God knew.

but he was delighted. he was bursting with happiness inside. every cell in his body was doing their own dance.

what a blessing... he sighed.

"okay." he nodded. he can never say no to you, can he?

[sourcherryandsprinkles]

12 with ajax plz

Something light and sweet to make up for the lack of posts (more requests are coming this week!)

‘’Is that my hoodie/shirt?’’

Request: Enid is so the type of girl who does tiktok dances. Maybe she and reader can do one together (platonic)

—

Another scream of frustration left Enid’s mouth after you missed another move. You and her had been cooped up in her dorm all afternoon working on a tiktok dance. They look so easy when you watch them from your bed, but when you’re the one learning and doing the choreography…it’s another story.

‘’It's a wrist whirl twist…an helicopter, not a butterfly.’’

‘’I know, I'm sorry,’’ you apologized, feeling bad for — once again — making a mistake in the dance.

She deleted the video and put the shutter at ten seconds before running back to you. ‘’Let’s do it again.’’

Slide to the left, then slide to the right, you mentally said to yourself as you did the moves. Baby cradle — one, two, three. Now, helicopter hands quickly...and dice roll. Left hand pushing someone away, come here motions and smi—

You almost had it, but the dorm door opened, breaking your concentration and making you miss the next more. Both your head Enid’s heads turned, seeing Wednesday returning from her session with Dr. Kinbott.

Her usual deadpan look was replaced by a mix of confusion and horror. ‘’I would ask what the two of you are doing, but the atrocious choreography I just witnessed was enough to give me nightmares for the next five days — not the good bone chilling ones.’’

Enid seethed — and whistled like a kettle. ‘’Wednesday! You just ruined our tiktok,’’ she told her roommate in exasperation.

‘’Your what?’’ the raven haired girl asked, completely oblivious to what tiktok was.

Later in the afternoon, you met with Ajax in the quad. He was sitting by himself in a corner, playing on his phone while waiting for you.

‘’What took you so long?’’ he asked after you greeted him with a kiss.

‘’Enid had me hostage in her dorm. She wouldn’t let me go until we got this dance,’’ you explained, taking a seat beside Ajax. He was wearing the beanie you got him last week — a warm purple color with a looser and more breathable fit so his snakes would be more comfortable underneath.

His eyebrows pulled into a confused frown. ‘’Dance? What dance?’’

You took his phone and opened tiktok, going to Enid’s account to show him. When your face appeared on the screen, Ajax smiled and you suddenly grew shy as he watched you dance to Becky G's song. You didn’t see the final cut, what if you looked ridiculous?

‘’I didn't know you danced,’’ Ajax said, liking the post and then closing his phone.

‘’I don't. I'm terrible at it. It took us over twenty takes to get it right.’’

The gorgon chuckled at the anecdote and kissed your cheek. ‘’I think it looks good.’’

You thanked him and started talking about the coming harvest festival and all the rides you want to try. Ajax usually never went to Jericho’s harvest festival, not a fan of crowded places, but you gave him your best puss in boots eyes and he couldn’t say no to those.

A brisk of wind blew and messed up your hair and Ajax tucked your hair behind your ear. He was so sweet. ‘’Is that my hoodie?’’

You looked down and realized that you forgot to take it off before coming to the quad. You had stolen it from his dorm a few weeks ago and when he asked if you had seen it, you played fool.

‘’Maybe…’’
