fnaf x dbd has soo much potential bc IMAGINE theres a vanny cosmetic on top of springtrap and Vanessa is the female survivor. in the Dracula chapter Dracula and the survivor from his chapter have unique voicelines if they're in a game together going against eachother, like Dracula will regard him specifically when with anyone else it'll just be his normal lines

IMAGINE if vanny and vanessa had something similar where vanny is taunting vanessa in a way, trying to tell her that she'll get her in the end and she'll be trapped and she cant escape her. it would be generic cool "I'm evil and chasing you" lines but have a meaningful double meaning bc of vanessa BEING vanny and her having to work to 'make up' for what she did as vanny. like the very embodiment of her trauma and past coming back to get her and it's her worst nightmare

୨୧ SOUR GRAPES

don't get me wrong, i've never exactly liked you.

ft. satoru gojo, yuta okkotsu, suguru geto, yuuji itadori, & megumi fushiguro

tags. a tiny bit ooc satoru, very light angst, gn!reader, mostly fluff ! / author's note. inspired by the song, sour grapes by lesserafim :3 (also its insane that theyve literally almost debuted two years ago) essentially just feelings in denial kinda!

SATORU is naturally a smooth talker, so he personally believes that he has never actually had a crush on anyone. sometimes he unintentionally flirts with people. one time, a waitress seemed to be super flustered, but all he did was order. (it was his tone of voice, but he's super unaware.. and maybe his stupid, handsome face) so, when suguru and shoko asked him one day if he had a crush on you, he was confused why they would think so. in their perspectives, satoru's tone of voice was softer around you, he wasn't just mindlessly “flirting” with you, his compliments seemed genuine. and to top it off, you are always the first person he looks at when he cracks a joke. satoru himself noticed this but had no idea why he had done this. he also felt his heart race around you. and his face felt hot around you. despite being flirty, he had never actually dated anyone, so the feeling was new to him. maybe a little more convincing from suguru and shoko was all it took for him to realize that he did like you.

YUTA and you are childhood friends, and people often mistake you for a couple. even your friends ship you. yuta nervously laughs and says, “we're practically siblings! we've known each other since we were little.” you on the other hand, feel dejected when he says this, because you maybe kind of had a fat crush on him. truthfully, yuta himself feels that he may have been developing feelings for you over the past few years, but has been terrified to say something because he didn't want to ruin your years worth of friendship over his stupid feelings. he had a nightmare one night that he had confessed to you, and you looked at him with a puzzled face and told him you thought of him more as a brother than anything. he comically woke up sweating and sat right up, thankful that it was just a dream. that whole day, yuta seemed off. seemingly avoiding you, and if he couldn't, it was minimal interaction. after a few days of yuta's odd behavior, you decide to confront him. yuta mindlessly mumbles some random things that you couldn't understand, but towards the end, he suddenly confesses. yuta himself looks surprised at what he said, and he awkwardly says, “oh.. just, uh.. pretend you didn't hear anything if you don't feel the same. it was.. an accident.” you laugh and tell him you have felt the same all these years, and he breathes a sigh of relief. you and yuta went on a date the next day.

SUGURU is typically kind, calm, and gentle with everyone, but with you? he seems to be slightly more snappy and has a cold tone of voice. it's not like he's being rude or mean to you; he just seems irritated. whenever you laugh at one of satoru's jokes, you swear his eyes are rolling to the back of his head and he is loudly sighing. maybe it's because you're annoyingly pretty and your laugh is so cute that he's annoyed. or maybe the fact that he's not the one making you laugh. and don't even get me started when it's just the two of you. awkward silence. you could hear crickets chirping, a pin drop, and the subtle breathing. you have tried multiple times to start a conversation and maybe break this romantic tension, but he has always just dryly responded and kept the conversation one-sided. and this wasn't just a few times; it was daily. every single day, satoru and shoko randomly leave, and you've tried tagging along before to avoid the awkwardness with suguru, but they quickly run off before you get the chance to ask. it was painfully obvious to satoru and shoko that you two had liked each other and hey, maybe if they keep leaving the two of you alone like this, one of you will crack and confess. (spoiler: it was suguru first.)

YUUJI has always thought you were an amazing person. romantically though? he thought otherwise. but, oh boy, one day when he saw you with a guy he had never seen in his life, his mind changed immediately. he quickly thinks to himself, “you're not even dating in the first place. don't get jealous. dontgetjealousdontgetjealous.” yuuji nearly loses it when he sees the guy hug you. he uses every cell in his body to resist running up to the guy and maybe or maybe not swinging at him. after a few eye twitches deep breaths, he starts to walk in your direction as if he were casually passing by and coincidentally ran into you. when he makes eye contact with you, he smiles before saying, “oh, hey y/n! watcha doing here?” while his smile seemed a little forced, you brushed it off. you wave back to him and tell him that you saw a cousin of yours after not seeing him for a few years. relief immediately washed over yuuji, and he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in.

MEGUMI is oblivious. his face is clearly flushed, and his words are slightly jumbled whenever he's around you. this became even more clear when one day, yuuji and nobara had interrogated him about why his face is always red around you. which of course, he denied. he simply says, “it was hot out, that's all.” they see right through megumi's “lie.” yuuji and nobara both look at each other before bursting out laughing. “it's literally winter, fushiguro.” megumi rolled his eyes and moved on with his day. (he was secretly praying they didn't make a big deal about it, but he knows damn well they probably did) yuuji and nobara on the other hand, ran to tell you that it was quite literally confirmed that megumi liked you too! after they told you about what they had just witnessed, (mind you, they were speaking fast as hell so it was hard to understand, but you got the general idea) they started dragging you towards megumi's location. they didn't even give you a chance to oblige against it because they couldn't let this chance go to waste! they've been watching the tension between you and megumi for the past few months, and they were sick of it! and oh boy, when you were finally face-to-face with megumi.. it was awkward. like 3 minutes of awkward silence. but, it ended with megumi asking you out, so hey!

inspired by this prompt list <3

living with tgc while dating isaac :)

your camera roll is full of pictures of them

usually 0.5s - sometimes you pull out your phone and take one of larry and he doesnt even blink

they are just so used to it

movie nights!!

you and isaac cuddled up on the couch and tanner and larry mocking you guys making fake kissing sounds

assuming you arent a cc if you had a bad day at work - people being shitty or smth - they order a massive take out order and have a feast while watching horror movies

i imagine you and larry would end up being bsf so isaac has to beg for alone time with you

larrys just like shouting no at him while clinging onto you koala style

fucking around in applebees with them

putting stupid music on the speakers there like theyve done before

sometimes you’ll be up at like 4am going to get water from the kitchen and yumi is stood there silently eating chips

you guys will just stare at each other for a sec before carrying on

this has happened multiple times and neither of you have mentioned at all

streaming with tanner and larry!!

mostly roblox horror games

you are screaming about something and nick comes in mildly concerned that you are actually in pain or dying

if you cook for them they will love you forever bc they mostly just eat shit food

going off that you and nick cook together

blasting music and praying that nothing hets burnt and most of the time the food comes out amazing

most of the time

not counting the time nick almost set the kitchen on fire bc he forgot to take a pizza out of the oven

you and isaac wake up late one day like you are in bed literally all day

the second you come out of the bedroom the guys are looking at you funny

“we dont need a mini isaac running around here isaac himself is bad enough” is a comment i strongly see yumi making

ive got a couple of ideas for more posts *rubs hands together*

that was cringe sorry - c <3

[writingquestionsanswered]

hi, first of all just want to say that your blog is very helpful to me. if i ever need help with something, i always check to see if you've posted about it before.

anyway, onto my question. i have two characters who are best friends and theyve been arguing up to a point. ive gotten past that point and now theyre reconciling. i have their individual problems they had while fighting with each other, but my problem is i dont know how to go about making them apologise to each other. i tried writing some dialogue and parts of the scene, but it all feels very forced and unnatural. i was wondering if you might have some ideas on how to make the reconciliation scene more natural?

Writing a Reconciliation Between Friends

The key to writing a natural reconciliation scene is to find a natural way into the reconciliation. If the reconciliation feels forced/unearned there's not much you can do to make the actual moment feel right.

Step #1 - What Changes? Before two people can reconcile after a falling out, something has to change. For example, one or both of them need to have a change of heart... as in realizing their original position was faulty, that they were both right or both wrong, or that the friendship is more important than the point of disagreement. Or, maybe they're reunited by something bigger than the fight, like an illness, natural disaster, or a common cause.

Step #2 - Illustrate that Change for the Reader. The next step is to "show the math" of that change for the reader... show what the change is and how it shows up in the heart/mind of the character/s, then how that translates into a desire to reconcile.

Step #3 - 3... 2... 1... Contact! Now one character needs to reach out to the other in a meaningful way. Or, maybe they end up face to face unexpectedly. Either way, contact needs to happen. If one is reaching out to the other, this is more about testing the waters to see if they're open to reconciliation. If the person reaching out owes the other an apology, that should be part of it, but otherwise this isn't a time to rehash what happened. If they end up face to face unexpectedly, this will probably be an awkward moment where they both feel obligated to make small talk, but that can be an opening for one or both of them to apologize, say they're missed, and see if they're open to mending fences. Again, as long as you've done steps one and two, this should feel natural no matter how it plays out, because you did the work to make it earned.

Step #4 - Talk It Out... Carefully... If both are open to reconciliation, there will be some measure of talking it out. Again, this shouldn't be a rehashing of the original fight--both should be careful not to dredge up past arguments--this is more about clarifying what changed (if it makes sense to do so), apologizing (if necessary), reiterating what was missed/lost with the parting of ways, and extending forgiveness.

Step #5 - Rebuild the Friendship - There will need to be some rebuilding of the friendship, and maybe a lot if the fight was really bad. It could be as simple as just easing back to the original comfort level (which may happen fast), or it could require learning to trust again. It may also require an examination of the original problem if it's something that isn't fully resolved with the reconciliation. Like, if the original fight was due to ideological differences, they will need to talk about it and maybe lay down some rules/boundaries so it doesn't become a problem again.

Depending on your characters and the needs of your story, steps 3 - 5 or 4 & 5 could all occur in one conversation. You don't necessarily have to drag it out over multiple scenes/conversations. Again, it just depends on what needs to happen in your story. Making sure the reconciliation is earned is the important thing, then making sure you clarify why reconciliation is possible is the next most important thing. Finally, making sure you show that things are smoothed over will bring things full circle.

Have fun with your story!

HELLO OOMF I HAVE COME TO BE OBNOXIOUS AND ANNOYING I HOPE YOU ENJOY

I use text effects here so. guide is . Bold and italic are the lyrics. Orange text is just text im highlighting and Red text is additional voices that arent from the singers perspective. This makes sense i swear

OKAY THIS SONG IS SO MIGO. and her thoughts about lunia when she was starting to corrupt herself. I'm going to explain why trust me on this

So just to overview, the songs meaning is the seeing the worlds inhumanity of violence and feeling like a lone monster for despising it. The world needs to be purged and the singer will commit the killings that have to happen for it. The "you" referred to in the song is someone the singer cares for and the only one who can be salvaged from their deeds. this song is so me core (im unwell) !! Just want to get that out the way because it maybe influences my thoughts a bit idk

"Somethings terrorized my psyche to get even/ Lately you're the only human I believe in/ I try to understand his logic but there's just no pattern there / No sympathetic voices anywhere, there's blood in my hair" The highlighted lyrics Are repeated multiple times throughout the song… I'll get deeper into it in the next verse

"I'm considered ugly from every angle" THIS LINE IS FOR ALL OF YALL WHO CALL MIGO AN UGLY LITTLE SHIT!!! LEAVE HER ALONEE 😭 Okay but slightly more seriously but still half joking This line is about how everyone sees migo as just lunias dream creature yah 🔥 (I'm making shit up to be able to mention this line I just like it)

"You're the only beauty I don't wanna strangle" Going in hand with the previous line, how being a dream creature makes her 'lesser'(ugly), either that's how people view her or how she feels people view her SO That would make Lunia the beautiful one in comparison. Migo started holding a grudge against dreamers but Lunia was the only one she thought was okay

"Cant you hear me crying out for guidance? "Yes we hear but we dont care"" I think this line is like. I think it could be Migos goal really is just to spend more time with Lunia despite her fucked up way of going about it .yk? Lunia made Migo because she was lonely, and when Lunia no longer needed migo she left her at the castle by herself. Shes like an emotional support dog that gets abandoned when theyre no longer needed. Thats kinda how i see her and why shes sorta crying out for Lunia to come back and spend more time together like they used to before she became a dreamkeeper

"No sympathetic victims anywhere, Theres blood in my hair" YIPEE I can talk about this now !! I think. this line is very much a lot of the reason why i think this song fits migoo. The line seems like the singer is crying for help to their own victims, thus being sad that none of them feel any sympathy for them. "theres blood in my hair" represents the violence theyve caused. So here it shows how migo wants the children she takes the imagination from to make grimspawn to Feel bad for her, for Lunia to feel bad for how she left her and to go back to her. Migo acknowledges the violence theyve caused and the intensity in which the line is sung (especially at the end of the song) Makes it feel like shes starting to understand theres no coming back from this, but does it even matter? Whats done is done

Okay i COULD analyze nearly every line but i feel like passing out so i will only do the important onesss

"When I die, i want you to die too not trying to stay in this dimension without you, spit on this planet without you" This is like showing migos want to be with lunia to an unhealthy degree !She jsut wants to be with her always and forever and I think the abondment she felt made her angry at lunia but migo doesnt truly hate her, shes just mad. Like. idk if this is making sense .. Like migo is saying wherever She goes herself whether that be to glory or to death she wants lunia to be there tooo

"..Lament our descent into some ancient reptilian form like an agnostic transubstantiation/ You wanna know what that is? Use your imagination"

Yaeh i just think this line is silly because. saying Use your imagination To a person who can actually dreamcraftt. while she cant. envy. also cause night hunter says that line in ep 2 and idk its sily

"They paralyze my psyche to get even / Lately youre the only dancer I believe in/ Im a butcher now with blood in my hair / No sympathetic voices anywhere, theres blood in my hair/ Anti-human armies spring from every angle/ Youre the only soldier I dont wanna strangle"

'Anti human armies' is the Night Bureau, and once again saying that the only agent migo will spare is Lunia herself

"I can see its a dolorous fate/ "So dont expect us to cooperate"/ Anyway, its five lives too late and theres blood in my hair"

I had to google this but Dolorous means sorrowful. The Night bureau will probably never forgive her, "five lives too late" as in shes already commited violence. Shes doomed herself to a bad end where no one will be happy so its like the Night Bureau telling her Yeah dont expect forgiveness from us 👍

"My head is a most obliging harbor for this illusion/ Will these Irish eyes be stung by tears of confusion/ Will you meet the common end to your odd shaped mission, hope it isnt true/ I dont believe in that kind of god but still I pray for you" I think this passage can be sung from Lunias perspective !! Shes worried and shes scared but she holds out hope that migo will come back around. The Odd shaped mission being her violent way of getting what she wants but Lunia hopes they can comprimise and all of the nightmares will stop.

"We will produce vanity holocausts / We will commit acts of misery/ We will weaponize sightless innocents/ Then we will forget" Basically what the nightmare king has done and what she will continue to do. Acts of misery. Theres no stopping this

NOW THE SECOND BIGGEST REASON WHY I THINK THIS SONG IS SO HER, THIS LINE

"I suffered pompous death to find her kingdom razed" The rediscovering of Castle Nocturnia and the hope that Lunia may still be there. When the Nightmare King gets to it he sees the state of distruction and knows that after migos own self death that she experienced being stuck in the guardian for quite a while, that Lunia was also truly gone. Revalation.

"Cherub corpses in the vapor, Martyrs wrapped in butcher paper" Its at this point where she sees all the damage shes caused to get here, the death and the tragedy. Shes most definetly responsible for many deaths for those who fought till the end to protect the dream world from her. But at this point of so much what is the point of stopping? The blood has been spilt already and its not like she feels bad about it . "There's no sympathetic voices anywhere, there's blood in my hair"

Now the end of the song, I love this part because it sounds like a final breakdown after everything in the song. so so cool

"I saw you laughing but tomorrow you'll say you were there" No one takes her seriously beofre she becomes the nightmare king 😎

"You looked at me in disgust, girl, Why should I care? Theres blood in my hair... Fuck!"

After migo tries to trap Lunia, she knows she now sees her with fear in her eyes so at this point there is no going back. Full force into violence! To do all that she will do and cause all the pain she will cause

SOOO THATS MY ANALYSIS I HOPE YOU ENJOYED. im normal about this song and about migo. !

OH MY GOSH OOMF THIS IS INSANE 🔥🔥 I’m gonna do a live breakdown cause I think I would forget what I’m gonna say if I go back and forth.

First things first the text guide that’s how you know it’s gonna be fire.

Sorry oomf I was one of the ones who called Migo ugly SORRY 😓

Lunia really did do all that now that you think of it tbh 😭😭 she really made a whole dream creature (which probably takes a lot of energy) just to leave it as soon as she didn’t need it GIRL THAT IS BASICALLY YOUR CHILD WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Migo wanting to spend every single second with Lunia only to be left alone abandoned by her TRAPPED BY HER OWN CREATION?? I wouldn’t recover actually I guess nightmare king had some right to act like that

“You’re the only solider I don’t wanna strangle” OKAY WOW

“Five lives too late” yeah buddy no one’s forgiving you now 😭 i can see a timeline where lunia somehow got her to calm down and for the bureau to be maybe somewhat understanding of the situation (especially with the old nice grand inspector in charge) but with Lunia being the only one who knew the full side of the story (other than NK herself) disappearing all chances of the story being told and some sympathy being brought up is gone

Lunia holding hope for Migo I feel sick

GOING TO CASTLE NOCTURNIA HOPING SHE WOULD BE THERE YOU SERIOUSLY WANT TO KILL ME

Sooo glad you brought up all the deaths she’s caused. No one really talks about it?? Even though it’s such a real possibility to everyone, imagine dreamers CHILD dreamers going to sleep one night and never waking up again because a night terror got them.

Also a big issue with the bureau in general cause why are you employing everyone of every age to fight and become either child soldiers or soldiers past their age 😭 Dawg Royce should be in retirement NOT the grand inspector!!!

SO PEAK OOMF. PLEAAASE I UNDERSTAND SO DEEPLY THIS IS SO GOOD. Oh my god I think you should also be the number one Migo/NK fan THIS IS INSANE!!!

If you have any more…please…share… this is so peak

[pianocat939]

not sure if youve done this yet but maybe yandere turtle hcs with a fem reader who finally mentally broke from everything theyve put her through to a point she obeys but is completely blank like no other emotion, quiet unless told to speak, is almost robotic, when they try hurting to get a reaction out of her she just doesnt react at all already used to it pretty much just all around traumatized and resigned. i wonder who's more likely to be happy about it or more concerned.

like if they ask what's wrong with her all she could say is "isn't this what you wanted?"

even more so when she's given more freedom as time passes but she doesn't budge at all knowing its futile anyway

I have done this before, on multiple occasions; however, I will expand the idea since there are a few differences between the requests.

Tw: manipulation, mentions of being delusional, Raph gets pulls reverse card on himself (depresso espresso), kidnapping

I recommend checking out this post as it has a similar idea.

Now the thing I will explain more about is who is the most + least concerned.

Most:

- Raph

- Mikey

- Donnie + Leo

Least:

You see, Raphie never wanted to see you broken. It was his clinginess and anxiety that made him act this way. So he feels horrible, to the point he'll blame himself. Now, you guys are both broken. It could go either two ways: he lets you free and waddles in a life full of sadness or, you guys stay in the lair together, cracking slowly. The best thing you can do is therapy because it benefits both you and him.

Mikey freaks out if you show any sign of unhappiness. So it's kind of obvious that he shows some sort of worry. But there is one thing that puts him below the list in comparison to Raph. He's impulsive with his actions sometimes, which leads him to assume the wrong thing. He thinks that maybe you don't feel loved enough. And it's not that he's delusional, no he literally just thinks the wrong idea. Additionally, he's the least likely to kidnap and isolate: meaning this will never happen.

I'm sure people are going to say something when I say the twinsies are the least concerned but it's true. And it's for similar reasons between them.

Donnie already struggles with emotions, so this confuses him. Like, you're given everything you would need or want. So why are you so downcast? Sure, he kidnapped you, which is morally incorrect. But he can't help it! He adores you (not that he would really like to admit it) and wants to have you next to him at all times. Plus, he can keep you safe and ensure no bad influences come your way.

Leo's reason is only slightly different from Donnel's. He believes that you're receiving the love you need. So, hating him is just odd. One thing I would like to add; he would be surprised his manipulation hasn't worked yet. You're supposed to be delusional by now: clinging onto him and accepting his love. Like Mikey, he's less likely to kidnap you, as his manipulation substitutes kidnapping.

——————————————————

This was so fucking messy help ;-;

I almost struggle with this as it's such a common trope in the yan genre and like I can't think of anything rare or unique.

[polyhexian]

Since Raine was a teacher I think once they have Hunter living in their home they would immediately start to notice the signs of abuse. They would probably have issues with Hunter eating the normal amount of food for a kid his age because Belos starved him and also Hunter probably wouldn’t really be a big fan of something like pasta with sauce but wouldn’t say anything because he’s too nervous to make Raine unhappy with him so he doesn’t really eat much despite being underweight.

Hunter would probably go stiff if they put a hand on his shoulder or flinch if they heard them in anyway upset with him.

Hunter would probably take all of Raine’s suggestions on what to do while in the house at orders and carry them out with military precision even if Raine just suggested they watch a cartoon on the crystal ball.

Hunter probably has a lot of nightmares too so Raine would wake up to him screaming in his sleep.

Like Raine had hunter for a short while and the whole time it’s just one terrible revelation of what a monster Belos truly was after another.

raine definitely starts off worried about what the fuck jasper wants with this minor but i mean really theres better ways to Steal A Child, it being this SPECIFIC child who is VERY difficult to steal ironically makes it less suspicious like. okay. legitimately what is your game. and also like again despite the fact raine has seen him throw this kind on his ass a hundred times, theyve also seen him fucking vaporize one of their allies for trying to kill him so like. truly. what is his game here.

and then like. once they see how truly BAD it is with hunter, the way he flinches, how DEEP the soldier persona goes, the food and the sleep and the isolation- then its like. well, fuck, i would have wanted to help him too. so 1. how did the martlet know about all this before anyone else, because he CLEARLY knew about all this before anyone else did 2. why didnt he just tell me the truth? 3. why DIDNT he just take him and run?

i think theyre putting pieces together and while they probably have multiple theories- they might not know about the grimwalker stuff yet, but they know this kid is an orphan and related to the emperor, they know he was found the day the previous golden guard died, they know the martlet has the same colour hair as hunter, they've seen it, they know hes incredibly protective of him, they know the martlet is scarred as fuck and an incredible combatant AND a high level magic user despite never using magic- once they find out hunter cant use magic without a staff? click, dude. thats probably genetic! this guy has been around about as long as the previous GG has been gone. he looks like hunter, he's protective of hunter, he never uses magic without a staff, and the second raine asks darius about the previous GG, knowing they were close, "hey, did you ever see that guy use magic without a staff?" that seals the deal dude. raine has clocked that motherfucker from a mile away.

only now like. thats a NEW concern. okay, cool! parent. got it. well that explains his intentions. but now like- wow, he HAS hit this kid a lot, even if his motivations were clearly rescuing him. can he even be TRUSTED with him? would hunter be healthy living with this guy? is he even capable of living like a normal person? he still wont take off his stupid fucking mask or tell them his stupid fucking name! and oh, fuck- if he's the previous gg, he's done some VILE shit. should they be doing something about HIM?

darius and raine im sure have a very exciting conversation putting all the jigsaw pieces together before they realize that jasper isn't dead, jasper is the martlet, jasper is a powerless witch, jasper has a son, and holy shit is that son fucked up and in dire need of help.

meanwhile jasper is like ho ho i am sooooo good at lying and secrets absolutely no one suspects anything

also ever since i bought the shinsou figure ive had shinsou brainrot (did it ever really leave?)

shinsou whos a pro hero invited to a galla - hes supposed to bring a plus one, he wants to bring a plus one, but hes having gripes about inviting you, his disabled best friend. itll be a standing up for long hours, socializing and smiling kind of event; putting you through that hurts him to just think about.

but he's also so very much in love with you, and sees this as an opportunity to gradually show off his romantic notions towards you and not just to his mirror that he pretends is you in the long hours of the night.

to his utter surprise, you actually accept with clear and obvious excitement. you plan an outfit that matches one of your canes (the purple, foldable one shinsou once got you) and wear something longer fitting thatll cover your comfortable shoes with the good insoles.

it goes well, you handle everything with ease and you even hold his hand multiple times. the romantic gestures from both of you are through the roof and shinsou's dizzy with emotions. kaminari more than once winks at him and sero makes a kissy face once or twice. he gives both of them the finger discreetly while scratching his forehead. they both stick out their tongues in retaliation.

it's not until you're in the cab home that you almost collapse onto shinsou. your breathing's heavy and you seem tense from head to toe. you mustve strained yourself even if you promised him you wouldnt. he rubs soothing circles (or so he hopes) onto your palm and kisses the crown of your head.

you sleep over at shinsou's place so often that he has an extra futon just for you. you're on the couch, nursing a glass of late-night wine as he sets up your bedding, your feet raised onto a few throw pillows to alleviate the pain. you haven't said much to each other since you left but it's comfortable, quaint.

he settles on the couch with you, moving the pillows and situating your legs on his lap instead. you hand him his glass of wine but he takes it only to put it on the coffee table. he starts rubbing your feet and you can't help but laugh, its oddly intimate even if hes doing something hes done a million times before after youve walked more than your pain scale usually allows.

"pain level?" he asks and you hum before you reply, "six."

he nods and presses a little harder, works the muscle a little throughout. "distress level?" he then asks and it doesn't even take you a moment, "only two, this is pain expected after these kind of activites."

he smiles up at you, "you're really beautiful right now."

you throw your head back and bark out a loud laugh, "now? after my makeups splotched and my feet are swollen and itchy?"

his lovestruck smile doesnt change at your reaction, eye contact clearly maintained, "youre always beautiful to me, but these moments that only i get to see... theyre my favorite."

you hide behind your wineglass but steals a timid look through the glass, "youre being bold tonight."

he hums as his hands find their way further up, giving your calves a much needed squeeze, "sometimes im made brave by those around me. today especially, you sparked it in me..." he looks away for the first time, suddenly overwhelmed by the weight if his own feelings, "im in love with you. i want more moments like this."

you sit up so that you can lean into his space, your hand raising slowly to cup his cheeks, "theyve always been all yours, brainwave."

the hero name you helped him pick in high school makes him blush. hearing it from your lips always sounds more loving, more inviting than from anyone else. when he chances a look at your lips, you lean forward the rest of the way despite your shoulders and backs protests because kissing him is more important than your chronic pain right now.

shinsou knows you though, so he wastes no time in maneuvering so that you're comfortably settled as hes hovering over you in an awkward angle. he will always do that for you, put you first in ways that makes your head spin. your needs will never be a bother to him, but a comfort he will always happily oblige to, because supporting you is all he needs to retain happiness.

This may or may not be a hot take but i really dont think that the Dark Urge should ever be free of Bhall, not completely at least

They are his flesh and blood, they’re him entirely, at least before they grew a soul throughout their adventure, so at least to me the ending they got just felt kind of.. cheap? It felt sort of like a “congrats you made the moral decision! Heres your reward <3”

To clarify I like the current story for the Dark Urge, I think Larian did a great job with it, but maybe its just me but i really wish there had been some larger narrative impact for the urge, rather than it just being forgotten almost as soon as it was resolved, personally I can’t see durge being able to just leave theyre god so easily with what was basically a meaningless sacrifice (i mean sure they died but it didn’t really matter because it barely lasted a minute)

Anyway, my suggestion is for this big climax of freeing yourself from the urge to have just a bit more of a sacrifice (similar to how Shadowheart either loses her parents or spends the rest of her life with her wound, or how Astarion can either retain his soul by giving up the powers of the ascendent or he can gain that power but sacrifice who he is in the process), i mean so much of bg3 is sacrificing something for another so i wish that had carried on to durges “final” conflict

Basically i think there are multiple ways this could be done, either by showing us (the player) and the companions what durge could have by submitting to Bhall (especially since in the game it feels like theres a very strong push towards “hey dont pick this option! Its bad!”) and/or there being a larger impact after rejecting Bhall (this doesn’t even have to be in game, just a nod towards affects after the game)

For the first option i was thinking that perhaps durge rejects Bhall at first and then similar to in-game we get a second chance to accept Bhall, but this time he mentions all of the perks from submitting to him (correct me if im wrong but i believe if you submit you effectively become his chosen? There should be some cool ass new powers with that), obviously mentioning the slayer form, but perhaps also stuff such as immortality (specifically being resurrected an hour or so after death, not being unable to die) or other new abilities (if this is too op from a gameplay perspective it could always just be a “do my bidding THEN you get this stuff”) and if durge still rejects bhall then you can get the whole dying and being resurrected scene, just so theres an actually meaningful narrative sacrifice

The second option is the one im most interested in where durge’s link to Bhall is retained even after theyve been freed from his direct control, I find it hard to believe that a literal godspawn could just walk away like that so it wouldve been interesting to see a few moments of perhaps Bhall chasing after durge, maybe influencing their dreams to a minor extent, almost “speaking” to them in that sense or even having lesser instances of the urge where its not as overwhelming but perhaps the barest flicker towards murder, more like intrusive thoughts then anything that actually threatens to take over

Ive also seen an idea of durge having to make a deal with Bhall to be free of him i believe the exact post was durge having to kill every tenday else Bhall takes control back (said by @crossdressingdeath i think?) and i just LOVE this idea, imagine just that constant knowledge that you have to make a sacrifice to avoid becoming a mindless slave, and as mentioned removed that whole moral superiority aspect of durge’s ending

Please feel free to critique or share ideas!!

So funnily enough he does get laser hair removal but it's not permanent, it just grows back finer so he'd still get armpit hair.

I think he'd get laser on his face too most likely, I know some of the members like Hyunjin and Jeongin don't get laser and shave every day.

Which like- their poor skin 😭😭 I couldn't imagine doing that all the time.

I think because in Australia, it's not common for men to be hairless so I still need to get used to it and seeing them so smooth all the time.

I forget that Korean men do in fact have hair everywhere else except their chest and I'm a girl that's pro body hair on all genders because it's a sign of maturity for me.

I get the lack of facial hair, I somewhat get the lack of underarm hair because I'm sure that helps with sweat.

But let them have their leg and arm hair at least haha.

Also I'm curious as to how pheromones would work with them because Korean men don't get body odour and their sweat doesn't smell.

And before someone pitches in and is like 'Chris and Felix are Aussie'.

Yeah they're born in Australia but they still have the genetic body type of a Korean male.

So would Chris just not stink at all?? Even after a workout?

Because we all know Hyunjin sweats like crazy on stage but even the members says he doesn't smell afterwards.

And moving topic- I wonder how Chris and the other members would go being around someone who gets body odour?

If I don't wear deoderant I absolutely stink and it's worse in the summer, I'm reapplying deoderant multiple times a day or else I'd smell like a garbage truck haha.

first of all, how do you have insider info about his armpit habits????!?! how do you know literally everything omg omg

but it makes me wonder ab the korean men population in general and how they feel about laser. like is it something that would be encouraged & not looked down upon? bc i feel like (and i may be totally wrong) a lot of guys in aus would find it a bit strange & unnecessary. && since chris grew up in both, maybe he'd just have to figure out what side he's on idk? like im sure the company makes him be hairless one way or another, but i feel like getting laser is no joke, especially for someone like him who looks so masculine. i'm thinking that maybe since both of his parents have had work done in the past, maybe that's made him more open to those types of things?? idk it's really not a big deal, but my brain is just like computing

but i agree, i like seeing a lil hair on a man. obviously both genders get it, but smth about seeing it on a man just feels so attractive. IDEK WHAT IT IS. like it's genuinely stupid that we simp over... hair.

i'm assuming chris smells like nothing 😂 after a workout too. i've heard people who've been there say they have never smelled BO on someone, even after the gym. plus, chris talked ab how he only rately uses cologne either so i feel like he's doing the bare minimum... what's gonna happen when i run out of deodorant??? cant borrow his if he has literally none

for chris and felix, i feel like since theyve lived in aus, theyre probably more familiar with it. i don't think it'd be anything that freaks them out at all.... idk how much exposure the other members have had tho so i cant even touch on that 😭😂

[linolinoing]

[ hey, you dont have to post this, i just wanted to say smth in response to some other asks ive seen you get. im just saying things in a monotone btw pls dont read this with any sort of extreme tone /gen. ]

all of them are older than me, and i am an established adult. they know the real world. i see not a single reason you should expect them not to.

chan is just as online as your average stay. felix is all over tiktok. students in a south korean university are demonstrating so noticeably news of it have reached people all over the world. and they are in south korea. they would have heard of everything by now.

chan has a habit of doing things jyp doesn‘t want him to do if he wants to do them bad enough.

i dont think anybody forced them to do this collab.

i dont think they secretly hated it. theyve mentioned wanting to collab with this guy before multiple times; i remember at least two.

3racha and skz have brought insane success to jype with all four of their most recent comebacks. jyp has his flaws, but i don‘t think hes an unapproachable tyrant. other jype artists have talked abt negotiating things with him pretty easily.

i personally dont believe they tried to object to anything theyve recently done, cc or this. i wish people would stop acting as if theyre literal slaves. theyre in a good position in the company and the industry at large.

if they truly wanted to object, i believe they would have.

hard is just something this sort of thing is. no matter who, what, or where you are.

[ all of our takes are more or less speculation, this is just my two cents. i would be happy if you would share them, but do with them what you will, its your blog. have a good day ]

About your second message - don't worry it didn't come of that way at all and please don't feel stupid for voicing your opinion!

I definitely don't think they were against any of the collabs they did, but unfortunatly there's still a lot of people who live in their own bubble and don't check the world news, so I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know what companies are being boycotted.

Most kpop idols stay silent about pretty much all social and political topics, most can't even say outright what their own beliefs are. However there are idols who do speak up - Fatou from balckswan, BM from kard, Suho from EXO to name a few that I can think of. Can it potentially cause consequences for them? Yes. And they still did it. Until a few days ago people weren't event asking kpop idols to speak up, mostly fans were asking companies to divest from working with zionists.

It's pretty obvious 3racha like puths music and were happy to collaborate with him and judging by how many stays didn't know anything about what puth had said in the past, I don't think 3racha knew either. BUT there's is no way they don't know now. When skz were on stationhead today a lot of stays commented about Palestine and the boycott, even tho comments were going really fast, it was very noticeable. Will they stop all the promotions? No. Will jype release a statement? No. They're just going to keep on promoting this collab, remixes will be realesed soon, they're sending this song on radio and performing it on 15th, and that's only what we know of. I kinda feel like even after the promo period they will still perform this song, maybe at the festivals, maybe even on upcoming tour. Also they're spending a lot of time in ny right now so I'm afraid this is not the only weird move that we will see from them, cuz if this song is sort of a pre realese for the album then idk what kind of an album is waiting for us. I hope I'm wrong about that, but i guess we just have to wait and see

PreCure Wishlist 2025 :D

Saw @cure-rosie do this and it made me want to do something similar as well :D

also please assume every category will have a blanket "please have a deeper and more thought out story with stakes and challenges along with big happy moments." But this is a kids show made to sell toys and i need to keep that in mind.

THEME

I'm not to picky about themes tbh, these are the vehicle for the parts i actually care about. BUT, if i thought about it some id definitely fall into the IDOL THEME camp like most everyone else. (although i don't blame them for not doing it. you either half ass both themes, or spend more money than Toei is willing to get the IDOL parts right.) Idols would also probably be a music theme, but i wouldn't say no to something more orchestral themed as well. Video games i think would also be a really cool theme to do because it lends itself really well to new and boundary breaking things, as well as (i believe) be a really good vehicles for some important life lessons.

And for my crack choice: REFRACTIOM. thats right i said refraction. Bring back cure Prism! Make the fairy a shard of glass! every attack is just a handful of glitter! SEE THROUGH. COLOR SHIFTING. PLASTICS. whole year of just the most pretty gems and glitters!!!

COLORS

Yknow, another thing i don't find myself caring about that often. As long as the pink lead vibe is there im happy. And frankly Precure has always really excelled in this way. I mean they started off with black and white, and i never even once though of Summer as being anything but a pink cure. Sky was really the nail in the coffin. What i will say is i like when the abnormal main color is tied to the importance of the theme. Like theres no way you could have a "sky" themed season and not have the main be blue. and when you have a blue main theres no way youre not naming them Sky! it just fits so well.

but id like a blue (thats more sky or gelato and less a Fontaine, Ange, Diamond.) and if we get a yellow or orange id like them to be well done. cause i feel like theyve been good characters but poorly used laterly. other than those though i love color to much to care. pink, green,purple,white,fuckin rainbow according to toei, give me whatever :D

TEAM SIZE

First off i just gotta demand. DONT. PULL. ANOTHER.SATORU. All the pieces for him being a cure were there! it could have been amazing. i havent seen the movie yet but i doubt itll make up for it. I have really wanted them to do a strong duo again! we got 2 strong duos this season but its also been marketed as a 4team so it doesn't really feel like it. and before this it was Mahou and that didn't really care so it doesn't count either. i definetly want to have my cake and eat it to, so id want a strong 2team season but theres nothing like a good mid season cure reveal, but it needs to be really good and impactful. So i think they should reuse the sort of deal they had in Splash Star, but when you redeem they baddies make them actual cures with actual outfits and actual transformation sequence. Do it like episode 30 to 40 ish though, so we still get lots of time with our 4 cast.

EVIL TEAM

Minions<Manager<Boss<Franchise Owner<Directors<CEO

I want at least that much hierarchical depth, with focus on the fact that franchise means multiple chains to be dealt with. you can still have room for strong story moments with villians we meet and get to know, but this way its more exciting and it won't feel like theres a total of 6 bad guys. Plus this is true to life and not something kids don't need to know about eventually. You can have the blue cure's mom be a CEO and while we learn about the dangers of capitalism from the bad guys, you can also teach kids about the importants of responsibility when you have an immense amount of power. like a CEO or a Legendary Warrior. thats Precure as fuck if you ask me.

MISC

I want the colors to mean something and be acknowledge by the cast, so that when they have a "Rainbow" or something different/more complex it actually means something

Please Please Please have these kids think about the fact that they have a magical device that lets them transform...like if that were me i would go to bed staring at my magical brooch for hours.

especially when they look like really beautiful jewerly and less like cheap plastic. so ya please don't do that. ill accept things being unreasonably girthy, because its easier for children to hold. but animate beauty and sell cheap plastic, at least.

[rise-my-angel]

What do you think about those stupid Targaryen fan theories that Jon is going to become the Night King and bring about the long night?

I mean it doens't even make sense. First of all, The Night King is a show invention. He wasn't even a character until season 6. He appeared in season 4 episode 4 and then in Hardhome, but he was no more prominent then any other we saw multiple times. He was just a face for Jon to stand against at the end of the episode that we already knew, and the fans nicknamed him the Night King and then suddenly in season 6 thats his name for the characters and hes the big bad

The show visually shows interesting details that are eluded to in the book, such as the Others having some sort of heirarchy which indicates they have a more structred society so it makes sense some are more important then others, but there is no one big bad character.

Also, it's dumb. The Long Night is already coming. It's started to begin years before any of this. It started at some point in the past decades (no one ask me when that is I have a full theory about that), and they've been working towards an army already. The Free Folk have been fleeing and men of the Nights Watch have been deserting out of fear because theyve seen things and they know the Long Night is already coming. No one has to bring it about at this point, it's too late. It's already coming.

I have no idea where this idea comes from or what possible logic is behind it, but the Long Night 8000 years prior was more complicated then we understand due to a lack of written text about it, and it will be a lot more complicated now the one person starts it or is responsible for it.

I think there have been events occuring in the past centuries that have indicated that there is something brewing, and that this was an inevitability brought on by specific circumstances that are completely out of the control of anyone like Jon or the Starks. I think it's a lot grander then just any small reason this is happening.

The theory can't be possible because the Long Night was coming far before the Others knew Jon existed, and but I do reckon that the fact that he is a Stark, probably means something to them. What specifically? Well, I can't say for sure, but it wouldn't be exclusive to Jon. He's just the Stark most heavily tied to these events, but he's not responsible for them.

People just want a dark Jon Snow to be a villian Jon Snow. They want Jon to come back as a White Walker version of Lady Stoneheart when that is simply not going to happen. A dark Jon Snow does not mean a violent and evil Jon Snow. I think a darker Jon Snow is actually what "Kill the boy and let the man be born" is foreshadowing too.

The boy in Jon is literally killed, and he is brought back a man who is finally and truly ready to be the leader that he as a boy, had only just started to feel comfortable in. He comes back a man who understands now he needs to do what needs to be done, and he can't let his boyish fears and worries hold him back from that anymore.

The Night King just won't be a thing in the books, I cannot imagine such a Voldemort-esque one dimensional villian being the one big bad is a direction that grrm would go in, let alone make Jon be that character.
