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!

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.

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 also also we did the legacy robe last night before preview night and my friend (and mother /ij) got it :DDDD very happy for her

um um um i felt like i had more to say but idk this is already a lot and i cant remember things im kinda tired :P

oh i finally got my camper necklace!!! the beads were missing for like a week but they were just on the table in the costuming room... anyway my friend made it for me during tech class bc shes so so sooo sweet <3 (while i was in math trying to force my friend to study... *stares at neeks* /aff) i got four beads that kinda almost make the ace flag!! (black for tech, silver for the fall play, light blue for this show, and purple for my grade)

idk if i explained it before but all of our necklaces represent how much theater we've done,,, bc its kinda like how long we've been at camp. theres a bead for each grade based on our class colors, and the tlt bead, so everyone gets at least 2. theres also beads for each of the past musicals and plays at school, and a black bead if youve done tech, and a white bead if youve done leadership :D some of the seniors have like most of their necklace filled because of how many shows theyve done

heres another cat pic to keep you engaged and reading this /hj

also also also many many thanks to my wonderful actor and tech friends i would not survive without them (especially thanks to tech bc they have to put up with us actors... /hj) its poseidon's actors first show i think and they have a LOT of quick changes so their section of the rack is,,, kind of a mess. also the lamp for the oracle scene has broken multiple times i think already... and i already left my make up bag out yesterday and my watch in the cubbies today TwT we are a hot mess

my graphic design teacher was acting today :D (the farmer in drive is a teacher role, and they switch out every night) and i love him being so absolutely perplexed by the energy circle before show :333

good night!! i need to collapse in bed and try to save up enough energy for tomorrows show :3

have a wonderful day/night and remember to hydrate! (or you'll die straight...)

[alienaiver]

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.

[lav3nder-bees]

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 😭😂

I love, love, love your Twobats fic with college!Bruce and Two-Face-but-not-yet-called-that. It's so fulfilling to see Two-Face and Bruce interact before the whole acid shebang.

(Side note...do you have any headcanons on college TwoBruce?? They've wormed their way into my brain and just won't leave.)

thank you!!! ;;;;;;;; i have a lot of very passionate feelings abt bruce knowing 2f before he became 2f ykwim

college bruharv is so important to me and college twobruce is perhaps even MORE important to me. yes yes we all KNOW that harvey and bruce spent their college days entirely wrapped up in each other in a tentative space between friends and something more wrestling with homophobia and their personal demons alike and i COULD talk about that for ages but LISTEN. LISTEN.

first of all i think most people dont realize that its incredibly unlikely that 2f just suddenly popped up after the incident. i think 2f is more likely one of the first alters and has been around for a long time, though due to how hard harvey has tried to suppress his did (and continues to try) they have a very complicated relationship that leaves 2f spending most of his time before that point pretending to be harvey and feeling unsure about who he is (and probably suffers from extremely low self esteem due to being a trauma holder with no support network). so, then, when theyre in college, weve got them at a point where theyve done some therapy (in multiple canons harvey knows he has did and was diagnosed with it relatively young, and went to therapy to address it (btas), tho his therapist was..... not great) and theyre living away from their father probably for the first time which any victim of child abuse knows is a whole thing. which is pretty much the perfect time for them to meet bruce

bruce in college is starting his plans to become batman. hes figuring out how to act like a playboy, planting the seeds of the brucie image, and simultaneously trying to learn everything he can without looking like thats what hes doing. hes sorting through trauma in a big way and trying to figure out how to turn it into something constructive, or make it "good damage." harvey is doing much the same thing, albeit less crazy, and for bruce its almost too easy to latch onto this guy who 1) is a huge egghead and helps him study and 2) understands. so they become friends (and a little more), and 2f is suddenly in a position where hes fronting around this guy who believes that hes his best friend in the world

and its bruce. hes a good friend, a safe friend, and when harvey quietly admits that he has did and theyre struggling to get through school life, hes supportive. hes there for them. he doesnt know when 2f is there, but 2f sees him getting books on did, sees him trying to learn, changing his language, trying to understand and support them. he doesnt get all of it but no one has ever even tried before and for the first time in his entire life 2f feels like there might be a person he can be himself around. so slowly, carefully, he starts letting bruce know when hes fronting

i think bruce is 2fs first friend thats his. i think bruce is the first person outside of a therapist who gets to meet 2f and he regularly stops 2f in his tracks just because he knows and yet somehow he doesnt hate 2f. he doesnt blame him when things go wrong, he doesnt think theres anything wrong with him, he just loves him unconditionally the exact same way he loves harvey. its the first time 2f really gets to be himself and explore the ways hes different from harvey around another person and having bruce is huge for him. harvey has so much resentment for 2f and yet bruce just has none, and its the first time anyones really loved 2f and i think that sits with him for the rest of his life. like, years down the line, when 2f is pissed at batman and tearing around the city, hes still got this little soft spot somewhere in his heart for bruce wayne.

this wound up basically being a huge dump about how i vaguely think of their relationship in college in overarching terms but if you want specific headcanons i can do that too alskdjnfsdf just probably in a different post bc this is so long and i got so carried away

[ 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

there’s issues with the outer wilds discord server? I haven’t used discord in a while so that’s news to me. if you want to create a new server for it, that’s prob for the best!! imagine all the cute emotes that could be made;;; ough now you’ve got Me wanting to do that SHDHDJ

yeah i can basically sum the majority of the issues up in 3 points:

someone said something shitty and multiple people called them out for it being shitty, a mod just said "well ignore x theyre just like that", said person got no repercussions as far as i could tell

one moderator i know of has constantly been rude to anyone mentioning something theyve done or added to the server that people didnt like, theyve responded to criticisms of their modding abilities with "have you ever even modded in a big server before" and "well no one likes over moderation" (when they barely moderate anyway)

its generally just organized badly imo, they have this shit split up by like. level of spoiler??? and not type of channel?? and even then they dont have private categories for the spoiler stuff so anyone can just go see them it doesnt matter if you have a role that says you can see spoilers or not. they also insist on making so many channels be threads instead of channels when thats literally not what threads are for then ppl complain when ppl dont use the threads even though threads are incredibly hidden half the time when you're not looking for them

and yeah. theres more.. i just come from servers with very heavy moderation- and surprise! all of those servers arent horrible because people who dont follow rules actually get banned, and people actually repsect the mods

also yeah! id love to make a bunch of emotes to start the server off with and stuff :) i think my main problem rn is that i dont have anyone other than me to moderate- even if its just a 20 person server id still need some help, and also just in general i want to think about it for a bit so its not just like an impulsive decision

if i do decide to do it though id probably stick a post in the tag asking ppl if their interested before making it

they’ve always wanted to be fat. not just chubby, not just a little on the heavy side, full-on obese. struggling to find clothes that fit, unable to see their feet over the swell of their belly, struggling to stand up with all their extra mass, fat. but they’ve never really had the metabolism for it, always burned it off way too quickly to actually put on much weight, and never had the money or stomach for the amount of food required to actually get that heavy. so they do the best they can think of: stuff their clothes until they look the way they want. only at home of course. they’re still a little embarrassed of this urge, and it’s not exactly hard to tell that theyve stuffed their clothes rather than actually being that fat.

but when they’re sitting on their couch in the biggest hoodie they could find and oversized sweatpants, both straining at the seams to contain what looks like them, their mouth still a little tacky from the sauce of the takeout they just polished off, they feel somewhat satisfied. sure they can’t feel the fabric of their clothes against their bare skin and have to resist the urge to scratch their “belly” or the illusion will fall apart, but it works. their favourite tv show is on, they’ve just stuffed themselves with takeout, and they’re so fat they’re practically spilling out of the biggest clothes they could find at the plus-sized shop. life is good. they’re practically dozing off in front of the screen, wrapped in their layers of faux-fat, when they notice something: their belly is cold.

not the whole thing, just a small strip at the bottom. they shift their arm in it’s padded prison to pull their hoodie further down so the hoodie can block out whatever draft is getting through the layers, but can’t for some reason. then they finally look down, finding it more of a struggle than usual.

they look down to see the sheets spilling out of the hoodie’s bottom looking much more...fleshy than usual. they reach out a hand to touch them, barely able to believe it before their hand meets skin. thick, creamy rolls of their own belly hanging out of their hoodie! they pick it up a few times, feel it land with a heavy slap against their - their thighs! round and thick so much so that the tracksuit bottoms feel tight against them all the way down to where they form thick cankles. their chest feels taut against the hoodie: they lift their arms up to squeeze and grope their new tits, thick and fatty and falling to each side over their belly. even their neck is straining around the neckhole of the hoodie, fat popping up out of it like rising dough. 

they spend twenty or so minutes just admiring the many rolls and curves of their body, from their fat cheeks and triple chins, their pudgy arms, all the way down to their thick legs and ankles. their belly is pride of place though, pressing down on their abdomen from sheer weight in their current sitting position and spilling out over their waistband to cover a not-insignificant portion of their thighs, sitting pride of place between their wide hips and their hoodie forced up to show it off. and all that while as good as empty, the servings of takeout they’d been filling it with leaving it only half-full at best. speaking of, they should get on that: their first trip to the kitchen at this weight, a task that’d hopefully only get harder and harder from now on rather than being done with disappointing ease.

they force themselves upright from their sofa, huffing and puffing, to waddle to their kitchen for a snack. it takes multiple tries before they’re even on their feet, let alone standing. but soon they’ve gone from enjoying the struggle of standing to enjoying their new struggle of walking, enjoying the heavy waddle they’re forced into by their belly weighing them down and their fat thighs forcing their legs apart, enjoying the slap of their belly against their legs (is it hitting their knees?), enjoying the brief (not nearly long enough) struggle to squeeze through the doorway to the kitchen. they even enjoy the long sit down on a kitchen chair to catch their breath and ease their aching joints before standing back up to clumsily grab something fatty and sweet from a cupboard. that half-empty pack of cookies should do it.

they struggle back to their sofa, cookies in hand, and throw themselves back down on it with an enormous creak to begin eating. as they mechanically stuff cookie after cookies into their mouth they fantasise about their new lie: struggling into work tomorrow too big to fit into their cubicle, knocking displays over in the shops, wheezing apologies to every person they bump into with their bulk in the streets as their entire body jiggles with every step of their heavy waddle to and from wherever they’re going. hell, maybe they should find a feeder to help take care of their new mass, wouldn’t want it to disappear on the diet their wages force them to have. only after this episode finishes though, they’re too out of breath to even think about doing anything besides enjoy themselves for the next hour.

kaitou kid as a concept is so funny like he barely commits crimes. he's a criminal but rlly only in one of the tamest senses of the word. he returns everything he steals? but then he's still breaking and entering and stealing things and they cant just have this magician kid in white strutting around stealing valuable objects even if he does return them later. so theyre like "ig we do need catch him (?)"

but then they have a whole task force dedicated to catching him?? like people's entire jobs are dedicated to piecing together how and when he's going to not-steal something and stop him from not-stealing it when he's gonna return it literally the next week. and multiple genius detectives have made him their rival and started attending heists for the sole purpose of catching him. like bro. first of all this isnt a detective case this is a wild goose chase. u arent gonna detective ur way into catching a hyperactive teen with a hang glider. second of all ur a genius detective and this is what u choose to do with ur time and energy?? catch a 'criminal' whose only real damage done to society is making a billionaire sweat that theyve lost a total 0.0001% of their net worth before ultimately returning it? like rlly kaitou kid is only an elaborate, somewhat rule breaking prankster. and yet the state of japan wastes so much manpower trying to stop an ultimately harmless figure. like xjgnsmjfk

and then. better yet. theyve literally never been able to catch him. like not even close. at a certain point u need to admit that this aint even close to worth the resources even if u do manage to catch him. its like a full SWAT team going out decked out with hazmat suits and guns and running a whole military operation to corner a pigeon who's shitting on public property. who then just ends up flying away. and every time the pigeon comes back they roll out again with the whole getup.

personally i just think the kuroba's taunt level is that high. like whenever kaitou kid comes on everyone he comes into contact with either turns into a fan or hates him with burning passion. so theyre all like, fuck this guy in particular. we need to catch him
