#sorry this went very off topic lmao oops

[despazito]

in my old apartment, i had both my little wiry terrier mutt dog (he lives with my mom and dad currently) and my cat. one time i had a mouse running around in my back room - while i was trying to figure out what the hell to do about it i saw my cat just like. watch it scurry right in front of her with only a mildly intrigued look on her face. but a moment after, the second it got close to my terrier he lunged forward and broke its neck so fast and so clean it seemed to surprise him as much as it surprised me. there was literally no blood, just a flash of teeth and it was over. all that to say that i think terriers are tenacious little shits with a prey drive that’s so much larger than their size would imply

i REALLY wish more people who kept barn cats for pest control would instead keep or invite over working terriers to their farms. i love cats but they aren't as reliable, don't fair great against rats, and take a lot of native bycatch when allowed to roam freely.

It's sad because it feels like terrier breeds have just fallen out of favour in general. i'm a zillenial cusper and i remember the tail end of wishbone's popularity and the noughties hot pink purse dog era which included some terriers, it's a shame the latter niche has been replaced by french bulldog ownership..

About me

Hi! Call me Pansy, or Bo.

I don't know what this blog will be yet, so it'll be a lot of reblogs for the time being. I'd like to make some friends here, though.

Content warning: brain damage, drug use, trauma, sex and rape mention, mental illness, er... politics? Also the DNI section includes a lot of difficult topics, I need to mention stuff to be sure to ward away assholes, sorry.

I'm mlm and polyamorous.

I'm a very gender little goblin man, I'm a drag artist with a couple shows under my belt. Said shows are very rare at the moment, so the drag I do the most is just dressing up lol. I'm really considering making a drag society/club in my local town- I'm Welsh, and re-learning the language since I went to live in England for a few years and completely forgot how to speak it.

My pronouns are he/him or xey/xem.

I have a degree in fine art, but got some brain damage (oops) which means my art production really slowed to a halt for the past few years. I still occasionally draw, paint and make jewellery though. At the moment, I'm too disabled to have any kind of job but I hope over time those issues will get better and I'll be able to support myself on my art again.

I have ADHDtism, here are some special interests and hyperfixations, some of which are active, some have passed and just left a lasting impact on my psyche:

goth music

nutrition, digestion, and diet culture (which is a scam btw)

art and art history

human anatomy

aquatic life, especially aquatic snails

religions, particularly shingon

sexual paraphilias, the more niche the better (that one lasted a decade) and I won't be posting about it here because honestly wtf is my brain

I write. So far this post has been a truly terrible showcase of my writing skills, because my brain is very blob-of-goo-sloshing-in-a-bone-fishbowl right now, but I used to produce mass amounts of poetry and I still write occasionally. Maybe I'll even post some of it from time to time, who knows!

I'm ok with some nsfw stuff, but I won't be reblogging or posting porn, and I don't want any of that on my dash please. PLEASE DON'T PUT PORN ON MY DASH.

I'm very mentally ill, but I'm reticent about it because I'm still feeling out the culture here. For now let's just say I have a lot of trauma in my past and sometimes my brain says "fuck you, lmao" and takes all my memories out of their filing cabinets and lights them on fire.

I'm also a drug addict, which exacerbates the amnesia, and a former alcoholic still wrestling with the bottle.

My politics: I'm very left leaning and very aware of societal issues. I'm somewhere in the arena of socialism and communism, and I've read enough theory to know I don't know how to correctly pick a precise label for my politics in that area. Initially while writing this post, the political section was super long and then I realized that this is not the point of this blog, so fuck that. You get the idea. I give a shit.

DNI:

porn blogs

SWERFs

transphobes, "gender critical" people, transmeds

aphobic people: if you think ace people are not discriminated against, you are included here, so DNI.

racists, nazis, islamaphobes, antisemites: for example if you think white people/culture are under attack, you are included in this section, so DNI.

discourse-havers: I mean the people who will bring the discourse to my dash. I mean a sensitive topic discussion which devolves into a screaming wall of reductive rhetoric and contrived logic where everyone who disagrees in any way is a bad person and people just start attacking each other for having the wrong opinion instead of having actual conversations about the subject at hand. I was on twitter for years, and I learned early on that The Discourse was never something to engage in, and I'm aware that it happens here too. Keep it off my dash. Thanx.

Pedos, MAPs, lolicons and their supporters.

ableists, anti-self-dx people. Do you think you can tell when people "aren't really" disabled, or that there are a hoards of people out there claiming to be disabled for the money? if so, DNI.

if your blog has a lot of self harm, gore or rape content

people who think doxxing is generally okay. I don't think it's okay in most situations

classists: Do you think poor people deserve to be poor, that they have done something to "deserve" poverty, that they should just spend their money better and stop being poor? do you never give money to homeless people because they'll "spend it all on drugs"? if yes to any of these, DNI.

Do you think people with eating disorders should just "eat a sandwich?" if yes, DNI. EDs are complex, I won't want to interact with people who belittle ED havers.

can't currently think of anything else to add here but yeah i think you get the idea.

See ya,

xxx

Fictober Prompt Day 16: “Listen. No, really listen.”

Marie Kanker x Eddward Vincent (Ed, Edd n’ Eddy)

This was meant to go up on the 16th but I had so much to write for it that it took longer than expected. Oops lmao

"Listen. No, really listen." Edd shut his mouth at her request, flabbergasted at the girl- no woman, in front of him. 

Marie Kanker was his kryptonite throughout middle school. She would harass him, assault him and even try to kiss him. When freshman year of high school came around however, she stopped. 

While May and Lee ran around chasing Eddy and Ed, Marie was seen making friends with the stoner and art kids. By the middle of sophomore year, May and Lee stopped chasing the boys around too. In fact, the girls treated them like they were any other student. 

Eddy and Ed rejoiced at their luck. Edd was just as happy, realizing that the Kanker sisters grew up. They grew out of their childish habits. May had her front teeth fixed, thus fixing her lisp. She joined the cheerleading team and became great friends with Nazz. Edd on occasion would have a civilized conversation with her.

Lee dropped out of high school, opting to get her GED online at home. One day Edd had the courage to ask May at lunch about the sudden disappearance of the red headed sister. May explained how Lee wanted to work and do school at her own pace. Edd was happy for her.

Marie was the most illusive. He rarely saw her in the hallways. He never saw her in classes because Edd took all AP's. Sometimes he'd catch a flash of vibrant blue in the cafeteria. Once in the parking lot he saw her sitting with some kids on the back of a car. They were passing around a blunt, listening to heavy rock music. Edd wasn't familiar with the kids she was with. 

It was senior year at this point. Edd submitted his college applications and worked at a quaint bookshop in town in his spare time. By this point in his life, the blue headed Kanker sister had long slipped his mind. He was happy and ready for the next chapter of his life.

One day in the middle of November he was grabbing a book from his locker when he saw a figure push up against the locker next to his. Without a thought, he shoved the book in his bag, shut his locker and looked up at the figure.

He jumped when he realized who he was looking at. His heart started to pound in his chest in a familiar way. He felt a wave of spontaneous recovery as he met blue eyes. This was the first time he had a good look at her in four years. 

Her hair was still a vibrant blue color, yet it looked soft and luscious. He was curious on how it could be so nice looking after years of constant hair damage. Her hair was also longer, going slightly past her shoulders. Her right eye was no longer covered by hair, instead pushing gently behind her ear. 

Her freckles seemed to have grown in numbers. They were scattered across her cheeks and nose in dozens. Her eyes were a vibrant blue due to the thin line of eyeliner painted on her eyes. She wasn't wearing the signature blue eye shadow he remembered. 

Her clothes seemed to grow more feminine but stayed in the same punk rock style. Her skinny jeans were a faded grey with purposeful holes and tears. She was wearing a black spaghetti strap tank top with a baggy black and white flannel over it. Around her neck was a thin black choker. She was wearing black converse to top off the whole outfit. 

After evaluating the girl he once knew, he met her eyes with slight fear. He knew he shouldn't be frightened by her. Marie was barely a topic anymore. Although she was a notorious Kanker sister, now-a-days she kept to her group of friends and rarely caused trouble. He heard when she did get in fights it was almost always for a reason.

He knew she wouldn't hurt him. It was just the fear of the unknown. 

"Hiya Double D." This was a phrase she used to say in a high pitched teasing sneer. Now, her voice and tone was much different. It was the first time he heard her speak in years. Her voice was velvety soft and much more mature. She said the phrase in such a melancholy tone that it took him by surprise.

"Oh! Uh.. Hello Marie! Lovely day, correct? What brings you to my corner?" Edd winced at how wordy he was being. He supposed it was a nervous tick but it was still embarrassing. 

"I just.. I need to talk to you for a minute. If that’s alright." She asked sincerely.

 She had her arms wrapped around herself, a subconscious sign of discomfort. Edd nodded. She stepped away from the locker, starting to walk towards the end of the hallway. 

Edd followed her curiously, keeping a bit of distance away from her. On the way to their destination, Edd saw Eddy and Ed staring at the pair in shock. 

"What?" Eddy mouthed to Edd in anger and confusion. Edd understood his friends confusion, considering he was just as confused. "I'll talk to you later." Edd mouthed back as clear as he could. He then turned back to see where Marie went. 

She was slightly hunched over as she walked, not caring about her bad posture. She finally led him to an empty classroom. Edd was always very nervous about entering a classroom without permission. 

He was curious about Marie though. This time his curiosity outweighed his anxiety. 

He walked into the room, shutting the door gently behind him. When he looked back he noticed Marie sitting on a desk, playing with her fingers.

"So listen, I need to say some things." She started.

"If you need help with homework or college applications I'm sure I could ask Ms. Smith to help you out." Edd started to get nervous again as word vomit fell out of his mouth. 

Marie looked up at him in confusion. "Homework help? No I need-" "Need help with exams? I'm sure-"

This time, Edd was cut off. Marie hopped off the desk.

"Listen! No, really listen." Edd was finally able to stop talking. The woman approached him, standing a few feet a part for his sake. Edd appreciated that.

"For an assignment in English, Mrs. Clark asked us to write an apology letter to someone we wronged. I would've just thought of it as dumb, but Mrs. Clark is my favorite English teacher. She sat with me and explained that next year we'd all be gone for college. She asked if I had hurt anyone from school. When I told her yes, she told me it'd get weight I didn't know was there off my chest. And make the person I hurt feel better." Marie explained, putting her hands in her back pockets casually. 

Although her posture was relaxed, it was evident how nervous she was in her expression. Her blue eyes darted around the room not focusing on one particular thing. 

"Anyways. I did write an apology letter for a grade in the class, but I felt weird reading a letter or giving you one. Instead I just want to talk to you. Like a normal person." 

Edd nodded. Marie looked straight into his eyes, standing up straight. "I'm really sorry Edd. For how I treated you in junior high. I was an attention seeker. As a middle child you kinda end up getting ignored sometimes and I took out my anger on you. That wasn't right of me. That's why I stopped doing it in 9th grade." 

Edd was happily surprised. He never knew Marie to apologize or even be sincere. Yet here she was pouring her heart out to him. He wasn't sure what to do, so he was glad when Marie spoke up again.

"You don't have to forgive me, I just had to tell you. Thanks for listening I guess." Marie started to walk past him when he gripped her arm gently. She stopped in her tracks, meeting his eyes with confusion of her own.

"Thank you Marie. Truly. All is forgiven and I hope things go well for you after graduation." Edd spoke gently. 

Marie snorted, making Edd let go of her arm in shock. He also hasn't seen her laugh in a long time. It was a good look on the bluenette.

"You always look for the best in people, dontcha Double D?" She said in a mirthful tone, her smooth voice raising an octave. 

Her smile could light up an entire room. Edd found himself mesmerized by the dimple on her cheek. 

"I don't have to wish you well after graduation. I know you're gonna do great things." She spoke these words before retreating out of the classroom. Edd was too in his head to notice he didn't say anything back to her. 

He walked out of the classroom with the intent to track her down when he was stopped by a shorter figure. 

"What the hell was that?" Eddy asked. Edd thought for a moment.

"I'm not sure.." All Edd knew was after sixth period he would be looking for a blue headed girl.

*gasp* a replies post! A long replies post! A long replies post where I overshare again! *o* Yeah I kinda missed doing these. I’m now at home, but won’t be for much longer. First, I’m going to meet some of my new classmates on Friday and I’ll spend the whole weekend with them! We’re going somewhere...well I don’t even know where that is, just that it’s in nature and I’ve never been there before! Thank gods we’re meeting at the main station in Prague, or else I wouldn’t get there myself. Then on Moday, I have to go to my uni, and then once more on Wednesday I think? And on Wednesday, I’ll have to wake up at 4 am. my LiFe Is SoOoOOOoO HaRd oH mY gOd. No, I’ll be fine.

And a month from now, I’ll be moving to my dorm. That’s some crazy stuff. I can’t believe it’s happening. Last week, my dad actually took me to Prague and we went to see where it is. The location reminds me a lot of my home, but I won’t tell you what exactly that is because no one needs to know that. Anyway, school starts in October. I’m actually looking forward to studying, but the “living alone in a big city with people I’ve never seen before” part is scary. D: I’ll give you updates.

Anyway, today was a weird day. First, I sat alone by the lake when these two guys came and talked to me (I didn’t mind that actually, they were kinda nice), then when I got up and said I had to go home, one of them complimented my legs...which would’ve been really nice but then he basically implied he’d go to bed with me...and like literally five minutes ago he said he had a girlfriend...basically men are scary. Then later, mum and I went grocery shopping and I saw my middle school crush with his girlfriend...and decided that his girlfriend is cute, way cuter than him actually...bisexual culture I guess, crushing on your middle school crush’s girlfriend lmao. Then we went to pay for our groceries and the cashier...was my childhood friend who also happened to be my first crush and also my last crush and these days I’m wondering if I’m really crushing on him or if I’m just holding onto him because I don’t know any better. Long story but if you ever feel like I have a thing for childhood friends to lovers trope, maybe blame him.

Wow. Oversharing much? Let’s get to those replies then, before I tell you what colour my underwear is or something.

Also!! Stream Lover. You won’t regret it.

Same! I might incorporate one of them into my yellow gen because it would fit there perfectly. God I’m really going to milk this one awful awful event for angst huh. That will be frowned upon. As for the other...I have an idea for it but it doesn’t fit the og Raleb timeline at all (it was for them) and I want it to be canon...like I kinda just don’t want to call it an AU, but I guess I’ll have to.

And then I went and made my founder marry a pink sim and have four pink children with her, because that makes sense. I love making myself suffer, yay!

Thank you, btw!

*hugs* We're our own worst critics. I used to cringe at my old stuff too, but really it was decent. I might have learned more since then, but it was still good. I'm glad you can see the good in yours. :)

I’m definitely not as hard at my younger self anymore. I went and read some of my stories written when I was 13-14, and I tried to look at it that way. They weren’t perfect, but maybe they were good for a child of that age. I mean, I always got good grades on my writing homework, and my teachers have always liked how I worked with words, so...yeah, it’s not perfect, but I’m not going to have perfectly fleshed out characters and storylines when I have barely even understood that the world isn’t just black and white, good and evil. There are shades inbetween.

That got deep again but I have a lot of feelings about this and I’m sorry to my younger writer self for how I’ve treated her. Keep going, kid.

You’ll want to punch me in the face eventually, I’m just saying.

Speaking of punching someone in the face, yesterday I was waiting for my hair to dry and I thought hmm, let’s go read gen 2 of my NSB. And...I knew Ross was an idiot when he was young, but I forgot he was that bad. I’m glad none of us accepted it and we only collectively forgave him when he got his crap together. Yay. Also yay we didn’t cancel him because cancel culture is disgusting, people can learn from their mistakes.

Also (I’ll never shut up about this)...why is there a female-presenting nipples rule when it clearly can’t ever tell female and male nipples apart? I’m just saying. And yes I get it, for AI it sure has to be difficult to tell such things apart but in my opinion that’s exactly why they should get rid of it and only incorporate it when it can tell it apart. Actually, hold on, nope. The nipple rule is stupid no matter what gender the nipple is.

And I’ve just used the word nipple more times than ever before in my nineteen-something years long life.

She's so pretty

Thank you! ♥ I’m happy with how she turned out.

That style really suits her. But then...maybe I’m biased...

I think it suits her way better than her original outfits too, but same, I might be biased...vintage/retro aesthetic is my jam.

screenshots are cool and all but i say if you wanna rely more on text then go for it! especially if you've figured out that taking all those screenshots is an obstacle for you - do what works best for you, you know?

doka-chan replied to your post “Thoughts?”

For me a story is up to its writer. I don't mind only one picture with a huge text, or the contrary a lot of picture with little to no text. As long as we got attached to the characters, it's not important, as long as it's progressing and understandable.

I don’t mind reading a lot of text. Pics are always second to the story to me.

desira-sims replied to your post “Thoughts?”

I sort of think there should be a balance. No, not everything needs to be shown as a ss, but it should be more than one photo for a wall of text.

Thank you for your feedback! I think it would be no more than one Word page of text. Which is a lot still but I think that’s the maximum I’d go for. And I mean, I’d show all the important moments. It’s just, I guess I don’t need ten different pictures of the same conversation when these people are just standing next to each other. And it doesn’t need to be split into ten different posts either.

I’ll figure it out, don’t worry.

I’ve recently found a lot of appreciation for lyrics that seem simple, but then you get into them or read some behind the scenes facts and realize they’re not as simple as they might seem. Then I feel like the person who wrote it is a genius.

SCD Week 10 Thoughts

Lol I forgot to do a song and dance thing this week sorry lmao COPPA took over my life a bit this week but I’ve done all I can for that now so back into regularly scheduled programming. I also didn’t spoil it again this week just saying cos I hate spoiling it for myself (from now on I expect my dear Chris Ramsey but honestly after last week I am hopeful but I’m trying not to get too caught up in that XD) so this is all “blind” if you will.

Saffron and AJ - Lol she wasn’t actually as bad at the Samba as I thought she would be XD. Again for me AS ALWAYS with Saffron my problem is with her upper body, she just moves it in awkward ways that doesn’t look natural and her arms didn’t keep the bounce that she had with the rest of her body. Maybe a 5 was A BIT too harsh but yeah wasn’t good.

Karim and Amy - ANOTHER CONTEMPORARY DANCE I DIDN’T HATE WHAT it wasn’t sappy and deep I liked it XD. Although the judges picked up on his lack of performance skills and emotion (which I LIKED for Contemporary) all I would say is he missed timing a little bit (ever so slightly but noticeable) and he wasn’t always in sync with Amy but HOLY COW THIS WAS GOOD. Idk if I quite like it as much as Will’s Contemporary but they’re very close XD.

Alex and Neil - OF COURSE THEY GAVE ALEX THE FIRST ARGENTINE TANGO and rip holy fuck it was not good sorry XD. I think that WAS deserving of a 5 XD. Something that I feel like I’ve said before that Alex needs to work on which is very very VERY noticeable in the Argentine Tango is POINTING YOUR TOES her feet were flat throughout and on the kicking movements fuck it just didn’t look right. Her upper body is improving but the Argentine Tango is so focused on the legs and it just wasn’t right.

Kelvin and Oti - WE LOVE A BIT OF NORTHERN SOUL after my own Lancashire heart Kelvin nice one XD. My mum is actually from Oldham lol and people say I have more of an Oldham accent cos of my mum rather than a Preston one ANYWAY I’M GETTING OFF TOPIC but WOW Kelvin KILLED IT XD. Again like Karim all I’d say is sometimes him and Oti weren’t in sync but it was still AMAZING. Maybe I’m biased oops sorry I love the amount of Northern in this year XD.

Emma and Anton - Emma AS ALWAYS great at ballroom but yeah her loss of timing and synchronisation let her down. NOT MASSIVELY IMO but it did let her down a bit. Something else I found odd was that they paused for like a few seconds at every corner?? LIKE... was that part of the routine or did they need to pick up timing or A BREAK idk that was quite odd but I don’t think Emma did too bad XD.

Chris and Karen - CAN I BE HONEST HERE... I thought Chris was gonna flop at the Paso Doble. Looking at his training and rehearsal footage I thought he’d go down and then he’d be out. But FUCK I WAS WRONG. HOLY SHIT. THAT WAS EVERYTHING. I’m not gonna say it was perfect because obviously it wasn’t, there was again synchronisation issues (seems to be a running theme this week oops) and his upper body wasn’t as extended, but SHIT IT WAS BRILLIANT his stance was AMAZING he had POWER he had DYNAMICS he told the story of the dance PERFECTLY SHIT... idek what else to say that was absolutely EVERYTHING. Something I noticed with his Tango but more here is that his serious face isn’t stupid, like some males seem to go a bit overboard on their mean Tango or Paso face but he did it CONVINCINGLY so that it wasn’t a gimmick holy fuck CHRIS MY MAN I’m shookened to my very CORE I just cannot BELIEVE that he pulled that off the way he did. I said this last week and I’ll say it again, if this is Chris’ last dance I’m SO glad he went/is going out on a HIGH, although if he is in the dance off I don’t even think he’d lose... WOW. Love you Chris Karen you’re iconic and this is a long ass paragraph I just love them so much XD.

Okay so final thoughts favourite CHRIS AND KAREN AND CHRIS AND KAREN ONLY there’s only 6 now I can pick 1 favourite XD. Actually I might be able to rank now there’s only 6 let’s see how that goes...

Chris and Karen Karim and Amy Kelvin and Oti Emma and Anton Saffron and AJ Alex and Neil

Well there you go I rank from now on XD. I won’t be spoiling the result for myself but I’ve heard whisperings that I might not be disappointed... AGAIN I’M NOT SURE COS IDK ANY NAMES BUT THAT’S WHAT IS IMPLIED TO ME.

How about a modern au where Jack has to babysit Les for the first time without any other Jacobs siblings present? With Jack being more nervous than he needs to b lmao

“Remind me again how you got roped into this?”

Jack’s sigh could have been heard from the other end of the country. “I don’t know,” he complained, making Race laugh on the phone. “I have no idea how to take care of kids. Hell, I am a kid. How am I gonna be able to babysit?”

As he walked down the street, dust from the sidewalk rose around his feet and settled on his sneakers. Even though he had been in this neighborhood before, he glanced around so he wouldn’t miss any sign. A knot in his stomach made him want to turn back and go home. His phone was pressed closely to his ear, as if he was worried about not hearing any advice Race might throw at him.

“Les is cool, it’ll be fine,” Race said . “He’s almost ten. You just need to keep him entertained.”

Jack sighed. He liked Les, he really did. Les was Davey’s little brother, after all, and Davey loved him more than anything else. And Jack liked Davey even more than he liked Les. That had been the reason why he’d agreed to do this from the start. The two oldest siblings in the Jacobs-family had managed to both have plans one night during the week their parents happened to be out of town. And despite them not having dated for too long, Davey had come to Jack for help. “Les loves you,” he had said, backing up his case with puppy-eyes. “And it’s only for a couple of hours. Please?”

In the end, Jack had agreed, because he he could never not do something when Davey asked him like that. It had been worth it if only to see the grateful look on his boyfriend’s face when he had agreed.

Now he was starting to feel he might have made a terrible mistake.

“What if I fuck it up and Davey will break up with me?”

His anxieties made his stomach flip as soon as he uttered the words. Race breathed a sigh of exasperation. “Holy shit, man, that���s not gonna happen. Calm down.”

Jack kicked a pebble in front of him. It hit a lamppost and then fell to the ground pathetically. “Yeah, yeah, you’re right.” He raised his chin and glanced to his right, where identical houses stood perfectly lined up next to each other. “I’m almost there, I gotta go.”

“Okay,” Race said. Jack could hear the sound of him getting out of bed, and silently wished his own saturday night could be as laid back. “Good luck with the kid, dude.”

Jack groaned in response, Race only laughed and hung up.

Jack sighed and continued down the street. If he hadn’t been there a numerous times already, he wouldn’t have been able to tell which of the many white, suburban houses was the right one. It was growing dark now, but a golden light shone from inside, making it seem friendly and warm. He knocked on the door twice and backet up a step as he waited. It took only a moment until Davey opened the door.

“Hi,” Jack said with a grin that he hoped looked more calm than he felt.

Davey leaned down and placed a quick kiss on his lips, but pulled away and grabbed hold of Jack’s arm before he could return the kiss. “Hello,” he replied with a smile and gently pulled Jack inside. “I am so glad you’re here, thank you so much for doing this.”

Jack shrugged off his jacket and nodded. “Of course,” he said. “Glad to help.”

Davey led him through to the kitchen. “Les is in the living room, Sarah’s gone already.” He gestured around the room. “You can take whatever you want from the kitchen when you’re making dinner, everything’s kosher, of course, so don’t worry about that.” He started ticking things off on his fingers. “He doesn’t like tomatoes, he has played video games all afternoon so he should take a break. No R-rated movies, or my parents will kill me, and he will probably try to tell you his bedtime is at ten, but it’s actually at nine.”

Jack tried to keep up, but the words spun around in his head without settling down. “Uh, okay,” he said and nodded anyway.

Davey made a face. “And I know Les is very hyper usually, but he’s been kind of low lately, so if you guys just watch a movie it’s totally fine. He may not want to do anything else.”

Jack nodded again. Watching a movie with Les. He could do that. “Uh, should I…” he shrugged. “Talk to him? Or…?”

Davey smiled but shook his head. “I’ve tried, he doesn’t want to tell me what’s wrong.” There was a hint of worry in his eyes, but then Jack blinked and it was gone. “A movie is fine, I promise.” Davey stopped for a second to look at him. “Thank you, again,” he said softly, and his smile made Jack’s worried ebb away. “I felt so stupid for asking, but I really couldn’t miss this class, it’s going on my college resume, and-”

“Dave,” Jack said and placed a hand on his chest. “Calm down. Don’t worry, it’s okay.”

Davey smiled again. “You are a lifesaver.”

After another round of general reminders and a couple more kisses, Davey left with a promise to be home at ten. When the door closed Jack was left with a strange quietness. He glanced around the hallway, at the pictures of the Jacobs family. He has never been in this house without Davey present. It felt wrong, almost like he was intruding.

He shook of the strangeness and went further into the house, to the living room where the noise of the TV could be heard. Les was laying on the floor, eyes fixed on the screen in front of him. He was playing some sort of racing-game, his character was quickly passing other players on a large motorcycle.

“Hey, kiddo,” Jack said, and Les glanced up.

“Hi,” he said with a small smile and then looked back at the screen.

“Whatcha doin?” Jack asked and sat down next to him. It took a moment before Les answered. The music from the videogame sped up as he neared the finish line, and it wasn’t until the screen blinked fourth place he looked up and acknowledged Jack’s question.

“Just… Playing video games.”

“I can see that.” Jack bit the inside of his lip. What was he supposed to say? Whenever they had hung out before, Les had always provided the topic of conversation. Jack had simply let himself be dragged along to the many different games, imaginary words, or weird though-processes Les had to offer. But Davey had been right. Today, Les seemed a bit off. Not as enthusiastic as he usually was. “Uh, your brother said you’ve been playing all afternoon.”

Les turned back towards the television. “Yeah, this game is actually awesome, but super hard.”

Jack raised an eyebrow, somewhat calmed by the fact that Les at least spoke to him. “Oh, really?”

Les nodded and selected a new course. He was just about to start playing when he hesitated and glanced up at Jack. “You wanna try?” he asked.

Jack contemplated for a second to follow Davey’s instructions and make Les take a break, but the game did look kind of fun. And, hey, whatever will make Les not hate him after tonight, right? “Sure.”

Turns out, the game Les had been playing was super hard, but only if you were nine years old. Jack quickly found out what buttons to push to get extra speed boosts, and he figured out what car had the best acceleration. He came in first place easily the first course and let out a triumphant whoop when he crossed the finish line. He turned so he could gloat a bit to Les, but was met with a disappointed face staring at the screen.

Jack’s grin slid off his face quickly, but Les only sighed and selected a new track without saying anything. Jack cleared his throat and turned his attention back towards the screen. This time, he deliberately swayed off course and drove into obstacles he otherwise would have easily missed. He made sure that Les was at least two places ahead of him at all times, and when the race was over he had come in sixth place while Les managed to make third.

“Hey, good job, kid,” he said and ruffled Les’ hair. “That was a really hard track you picked, you were so much better than me.” Les mumbled something and threw the controller on the ground. His face had suddenly gone from concentrated to sullen. Jack hesitated for a moment before lowering the volume of the TV and turning to him. “Is anything up, Les?”

Les glanced up at him. “You are better than me,” he muttered. “I don’t wanna play anymore. I’m hungry,” He stood up and Jack quickly followed.

“Oh, yeah, sure,” he said. “Uh, why don’t you find something to do while I make us something to eat, okay?”

The kitchen was the next obstacle of the evening. Jack spent about five minutes trying to find a saucepan, and then just as long trying to figure out how the stove worked. He did know how to cook, kind of. He knew enough to make pasta, at least. After scavenging through the freezer he emerged with a packet of pre-made chicken nuggets.

He quickly realized that cooking in someone else’s kitchen was harder than he thought it would be. The sink was weird, it took a moment for him to figure out exactly in what way to turn the knobs to make the water start running. When it did it splashed everywhere, and he had to clean up so Les wouldn’t slip on the wet floor. When it was dry enough he put some salt in the pot of water and stared at it, willing it to start boiling. He had the patience to make it luke-warm until the threw some pasta in and got started on the chicken nuggets. Lastly he looked through the fridge again to find some vegetables, because even if Les might hate him for it at least Davey would appreciate the attempt at a somewhat healthy meal.

When he closed the fridge his eyes landed on the door, where a drawing was hanging. It was obviously Les who had done it, it had all the markings of a ten-year-old’s drawing skills. It looked like some sort of animal drawn and coloured in different hues of green, but it was unclear of what animal it was supposed to be. When Jack leaned forward a bit, he saw that beneath the creature it said “Girronkey-horse”. A smile spread across his face when he looked at the picture again and could find distinguishable features: a giraffe’s long neck, a horse’s hooves and the body of a monkey. With a small chuckle, Jack started moving through the kitchen, gathering more supplies for dinner. Children were fucking awesome.

He started humming as he found a cutting board and a knife. He felt good. He felt proud of himself. He could do this. He was gonna make dinner for the two of them, and Davey would be super impressed by his babysitting-skills.

An image of Davey floated to the front of his brain as he grabbed some tomatoes and rinsed them before bringing them back to the cutting board. Davey, coming back home to find a happy Les sleeping in his bed and a calm, collected Jack who had taken good care of his little brother. Jack could imagine the smile on Davey’s face, the impressed quirk of his eyebrow as he would glance around the very clean kitchen.

Footsteps brought him back from his daydream, and he smiled when Les came into the kitchen. “What are you singing?” Les asked.

Jack almost dropped the knife, but managed to keep his grip of it and not cut any fingers off. “I wasn’t singing,” he said quickly.

Les grinned. “You were! I think it was Frozen.”

Jack decided he couldn’t talk his way out this one and held up his hands in surrender. “Okay, I plead guilty,” he said.

Les sat down at the table. “What does that mean?”

“Haven’t you seen any crime shows?” Les shook his head. “I’ll have to talk to your brother about your cultural education, then.”

He turned back to the cutting board and continued rinsing and cutting vegetables before putting them in a small bowl. Without thinking about it, he started humming to himself again. It was a habit he had picked up years ago, watching as Medda always sang while cooking dinner. It took but a minute for Les to join in the song. Soon they were both belting to Let it go as loudly as they could. Les yelled more than sang, but he had a grin on his face as he did, so Jack only joined in and hoped the neighbors wouldn’t call the police for disturbing the neighborhood’s peace and quiet.

“Do you like Frozen?” Jack asked with a laugh when they were both done and panting.

“No,” Les said. “Lucas says it’s stupid.”

Jack raised his eyebrows. “Who’s Lucas?”Les shrugged. “A friend from school. He says it’s not for boys.”

Jack nodded slowly and took the pasta off the stove. “But I like Frozen, and I’m a boy.”

Les was quiet for a second, as if he was contemplating this. Jack felt a small smile grow on his face. “You can like Frozen and still be a boy, trust me.” Les looked at him with eyes slowly widening, but he didn’t say anything. Jack just shook his head with a smile. “Anyway, I think dinner is ready.”

He brought plates, glasses and the pasta to the table and started piling food onto Les’ plate. Everything was going smoothly until Les stopped in his tracks, the fork halfway to the plate. “What’s that?”

He pointed to the small bowl of vegetables. Jack took the spoon and put some on his plate. “Just some veggies, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes…”

“I don’t like tomatoes.”

Jack stopped. Shit. Right. Davey had told him that not even an hour ago. How could he have forgotten?

Les continued to stare at the tomatoes as if they had personally hurt him. Jack nodded hastily. “Oh, uh, right… I’ll just…” He cleared his throat and moved to push away the tomatoes. “I can take them away, how about that?”

Les looked frustrated. “No, they’ve touched the cucumbers now!”

“You won’t be able to taste it,” Jack promised with a hint of desperation in his voice.

Les pushed the plate away. “I don’t wanna eat that.”

Jack sighed and sat back. So much for a healthy meal. “You need to eat some vegetables, Les.”

Les made a face. “But I don’t like it.”

For a second Jack closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Okay,” he said with a sigh and looked at Les again. “But what about the pasta? And the chicken nuggets?”

Les leaned forward and inspected the plate closely. Jack held his breath. After a moment Les nodded slowly. “I guess.” He hesitantly picked up his fork and pierced a chicken nugget. He took a bite, and Jack breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t spit it out.

The rest of dinner went somewhat smoothly. They ate, and meanwhile Jack asked Les about everything and anything he could come up with.

“Who do you hang out with at school?”

“Michael, Theo… Oh, and Lucas. But Michael is my best friend.”

“What’s your favorite movie?”

“Sherlock Gnomes.”

Jack whistled. “You like Sherlock Holmes? That’s impressive, have you read the books?”

Les furrowed his eyebrows. “What? Not Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Gnomes,” he clarified, as if this was obvious and Jack was a bit slow.

Jack, who had never seen that movie, only nodded. “Cool,” he said. “Uh, so, how’s school? What’s your favorite subject?”

Les’ face fell somewhat, and he suddenly avoided Jack’s gaze. “I don’t have a favorite subject,” he mumbled. He picket at the pasta with his fork, dragging it back and forth across the plate, resulting in streaks of ketchup crossing each other and the remaining pasta being pushed to the side. It was dangerously close to spilling over to the table.

Jack sighed and sat up a little straighter. Fuck Davey’s advice, he couldn’t just ignore whatever was bothering Les. “Why not?” he asked. “Do you love all of them equally?” He really hoped that was the answer, but somehow he doubted it.

Les shook his head feverently. “No,” he said. “I hate them.”

Jack raised his eyebrows. “That’s too bad. Is there nothing in school you think is fun?”

The question didn’t land as well as he would have hoped, because Les only sank down lower in his seat. “No.”

“Okay,” Jack said and searched his brain for anything that might help. “Uh, why not? Is there something wrong with your teachers?”

Les glanced up at Jack but averted his gaze just as quickly. “No,” he repeated.

Jack pursed his lips. Okay, maybe getting Les to talk wasn’t as easy as he had thought. “Les, you know what?” he said. “It’s okay if you don’t feel like talking, I don’t feel like talking sometimes either.” He rose from the table with a sigh and took the two plates to the sink. “And I know you haven’t told your brother what’s wrong, but I think that sometimes it’s easier to talk to someone you’re not close to, right?” The water hit the plates and splashed over Jack’s t-shirt, and he sighed. He was so busy trying to turn the tap off that he barely heard when Les started talking again. He glanced over his shoulder while reaching for napkins to dry himself off. “What was that, buddy?”

Les was drawing patterns into the table with his finger. “I said that I’m the problem.”

Jack slowed down. Les still didn’t look up from the table. His lips were pouting slightly, and Jack felt a small knot start to form in his stomach. He turned around and walked back to the table to sit down. “What makes you say that?”

Les shrugged. “I’m stupid,” he said. “I don’t get good grades like Davey and Sarah.” His voice was no longer quiet, but instead rising with a slight flush on his cheeks. “Especially math.”

Jack sighed. “Okay,” he said and dragged his chair closer to Les. “You know what, I’m gonna let you in on a little secret.”

Les quickly looked up. “What secret?”

Jack looked seriously at him and leaned forward a tiny bit. “I’m not that good at school, either.”

Les was quiet for a moment. He looked perplexed. “Really?” he asked.

Jack nodded. “Yeah,” he said and then smiled. “Sometimes I don’t understand what the teacher is trying to explain, and sometimes I can’t concentrate. Especially in math.”

Les was gazing at him with wide eyes. “But you are dating Davey,” he said with a slightly confused tilt of his head, as if this wasn’t adding up.

Jack broke into a smile. “I am,” he agreed. “Davey likes me even though I don’t always get A’s.” Les didn’t say anything, so he continued. “And, you know what? It’s okay that I don’t always do great in math. You know why?”

“Why?”

Jack nudged him, making him jump a bit in his seat. “Because I do my best, and I always try again.” He got of the chair and instead crouched so he was on the same height as Les. “The most important thing isn’t to always be the one with the best grades, or to get all the points on that test.”

“But Davey and Sarah-”

“Davey and Sarah love you and think you’re great, no matter your grades.” he promised. “The most important thing is to be a good person, and to always try to do the best you can without giving up.” He grinned. “And besides, you are awesome at so many things besides math, right?”

Les looked  doubtful. “Like what?” he asked Jack, who let out an incredulous laugh.

“Like what? Oh man, it’s gonna take forever if I’m gonna go through everything…” Les smiled thinly, and Jack took this as a personal victory. “Let’s see,” he said and started counting on his fingers. “You are super funny, you always make me laugh. You can sing very loudly, which is super cool.” He spun around and pointed to the fridge. “And, hey, look at that! This picture is so awesome, you are a real artist.”

Les perked up. “You think so?”

“I know so,” Jack said and ruffled his hair. “And I draw a lot, so I know what I’m talking about.” Les smiled. It made the knot in Jack’s stomach loosen up a little bit. “Hey, you wanna watch a movie? Maybe you can show me that gnome-thing.”

When Davey came back home a couple of hours later, he could hear the sound from what was obviously the TV playing a children-movie. He glanced at the clock on the wall and felt a hint of annoyance because, really, Les should be in bed by now. But when he went into the living room he spotted his boyfriend lounging on the couch, eyes closely fixed on the screen with an almost trance-like look on his face. Les was half laying on him, snoring quietly and drooling on Jack’s shirt. He didn’t even notice.

“Hey,” Davey said softly and placed a kiss on the top of Jack’s head. “Everything all right?”

Jack glanced up with a tired, but pleased, smile. “Yeah, all good,” he said. “How was the class?”

“Fine,” Davey said and looked at his little brother. “How is he?”

“Good. I didn’t want to wake him.”

Davey nodded and sat down in the armchair next to the couch. “So, what are we watching?”

Jack perked up. “Gnomeo and Juliet.”

Davey gave him a look. “No.”

“Yes.”

He groaned and sank down in the armchair. “Oh god, he has corrupted you.”

Jack laughed at Davey’s look, but quickly stopped when Les moved against him. “Shit, I hope I’m not waking him up.”

Davey’s gaze softened as he watched Jack carefully lower the volume on the TV. A pang of gratitude hit him, and he broke into a smile. “Thank you, again, for doing this. I know you would have rather done something else on a saturday night.” He gave him a look. “And I know you were kind of nervous before.”

Jack’s gaze flew from Les to Davey. He felt his cheeks warm up. “I had fun.”

“So, there was no need to be nervous?” Davey’s look is meaningful and slightly teasing.

Jack made a face. “For babysitting, no. However, I should be nervous for when you see the mess I made in the kitchen.”

Davey laughed and after a second, Jack joined in. Les snuggled closer to him and sighed in his sleep. Jack shook his head. “Nah, but honestly? I think I could babysit again sometime. It wasn’t too bad.”

Influential TV Shows

Okay this is kinda random and why I prob won’t tag the shows I list cuz this is more just something I wanted to get out of my head after watching J&J’s latest podcast where they were talking about this topic. They kept it to 7 shows each and while that would certainly be interesting to try, that’s kinda hard. lol I went about grouping some of them - shows that shaped me growing up, shows that impacted me/stuck with me, comfort shows/watch with the family, taught me about fandoms, etc. And saying something about each of them. Anyway, this is stupid but here we go lol:

The Shows Growing Up:

Sailor Moon: Okay, nobody make fun of me. lol This is the first show I remember really watching as a kid that wasn't Barney or whatever, something I decided to watch by myself and it actually had an ongoing story. And ofc it took time for me to realize that this was just an English dubbed version that they would play on Cartoon Network. Looking back on it, it’s a little cringey (the voice readings, Serena being a bit of a crybaby) but seeing girls, even if it was animated, kicking ass over evil as a group made an impression on me so it’s no wonder I would watch it religiously after school and was sad when they stopped airing it. And ofc I watched all the movies too. I was a shameless fan. lmao I also eventually read the manga and appreciated it.

Hey Arnold: As a kid, I would watch Cartoon Network & Nickelodeon (& eventually Disney when I got a little bit older), and I think one of the Nickelodeon shows that really stuck with me as a kid, like Rugrats, was this one. It had a wide range of really distinct characters. It was genuinely funny. And I did love the dynamic between Arnold & Helga (who was interesting & sometimes they would let her be the protagonist of an ep instead of him, like the therapist one which is a def fave) even if her crush was kinda as stalkerish as you can get why maintaining innocence. lol And you know what? I did totally watch the recent movie they did where it tied up loose ends like getting these two together and allowing her to grow as a character. Gotta say it was rewarding after all this time. lol  

All That: I feel like I gotta put this here because I watched this show all the time as a kid. And I think it’s something that really taught me about comedy. I had seen things from Saturday Night Live growing up cuz of my parents but this was my Nickelodeon version with people that weren’t much older than me at the time so I could really get what was going on/enjoy it. It’s also the first place where we saw people like Amanda Bynes & Kenan Thompson & Kel Mitchell (which is partly why I later watched things like The Amanda Show and Kenan & Kel) What can I say? As a young person, it was just really cool seeing kids being funny. Yeah, there was some cheese but I didn’t care. It stayed with me.

Boy Meets World/Sister, Sister/Lizzie McGuire/Even Stevens: I kinda cheated here and bundled these shows because these are four of the shows I watched on Disney growing up (Disney showed reruns of Boy Meets World & Sister, Sister for the record) There were others like That’s So Raven, Suite Life, Wizards of Waverly sort of, Proud Family to name a few but these shows I picked have such iconic episodes that I still remember well and love. Like Even Stevens - musical episode hands down Idc. Boy Meets World - Scream-inspired Halloween ep for sure. Yes, there was cheesiness with all these shows. Sometimes very after-school special, but they shaped me I think. Also gotta mention, I remember thinking of Hilary Duff as my idol. lol

The Ones I Watched With the Fam:

That 70′s Show: Now the thing with my family is that we were one where for a time we would watch tv while eating dinner and my dad would have control of what channel we watched. It was always this way, which meant it would either be Law & Order or Seinfeld (the second one I was cool with and I almost included it on here cuz it’s such a staple comedy but eh,,, I appreciated it more later on. It felt more forced on me at the time) This is probably one of the only shows I can say my whole family truly agreed on watching all together tho, including my sister who generally watches trashy reality shows. This show will always remain one of my faves, because it was hilarious. It got a little weaker towards the end (We do NOT speak about Season 8) but I loved how it was a true ensemble sitcom where everyone brought something to the table and enjoyed the different dynamics between the group. The funny running gags, Jackie & Hyde still remain one of my all-time otps, and Kelso is probably the funniest & lovable dumb character I can think of (If nothing else, Ashton Kutcher was meant to play this part ok) It was nice to have something my whole family could enjoy together. It was a rarity so this show has a special place in my heart for that alone.

Joan of Arcadia: Another show that has a place in my heart, despite it only lasting 2 seasons and it ending on a bad note (major cliffhanger, still never fully making things right w/ Adam after destroying his character, ultimately S2 was problematic but still) because this is a show that I watched religiously (pun not actually intended here lol) with my mom every Friday it was on. What I loved about it was that the concept is centered around Joan talking to God yet it generally wasn’t being preachy. Joan wasn’t always willing to do what God wanted her to do, and things didn’t always turn out how she wanted. It was a kinda perfect blend for me and my mom to watch together. After this we were more willing to watch stuff as a pair cuz we were close but this started all that. I remember always being curious how God would appear to Joan cuz it was always changing, but there were some fave recurring ones like Cute Guy God, Goth God & Old Lady God to name a few. heh Joan was played wonderfully by the awesome Amber Tamblyn who could always make me cry (naturally she played my fave Tibby in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies too lol) and she had awesome friends in Adam & Grace (who were my faves) and family. I rewatched this show and you know, I’d say S1 holds up and even the first half of S2. Heck, the episode where Joan & Adam break up towards the end of it, while totally heartbreaking and PISSES me off cuz bad writing for Adam, was solid simply for the acting so there’s that. lol

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Putting this show under this category because this was a show that I mostly got into because my sister loved it growing up. I was really young when it came out so I mostly remembered bits & pieces when I later watched it when I got a little older. It stuck with me tho cuz ofc the awesome Sarah Michelle Gellar playing badass Buffy (she was my sister’s idol) and it was a genuinely funny and smart show. It also got dark too. It wasn’t always solid towards the end, but I think it mostly nailed the actual ending (why Anya had to die tho... Spike I got but ugh) Anyway, this was kinda a big deal cuz it was the only thing my sister and I really watched together that wasn’t bad reality television or me barely paying attention to Dawson’s Creek at the time lol This showed that my sister could have taste when she wanted to (lmao sorry)

The Carol Burnett Show: I had to mention this show because this is one that got me, really my family, through dealing with my mom’s dementia. We chose to care for her at home instead of putting her in a nursing home. We did this for 2 years until her death. And the one thing we (excluding my sister cuz her & old stuff don’t mix) could always count on cheering us up was this show. My dad told me that my mom loved this show growing up and that’s why we turned on for her. So luckily memory or no memory, she still had a sense of humor and she knew when to laugh. And with good reason. This show is hilarious. So iconic. Carol Burnett was/is rightfully loved dearly for this show. I wish I had more I could say, but this was truly a comfort show when I desperately needed it so I am forever grateful that it existed.

Honorable Mention: Young & Hungry - another show that got us through that dark period, my dad actually really enjoyed this, despite seeming skeptical, and eventually started calling it the “Josh & Gaby Show” lmao Only thing is we never finished it together so oops. Not so much influential maybe but worth mentioning it felt like since it was underrated, got me thru a tough time, was hilarious and I loved that cast a lot. Emily Osment deserved to be the lead of her own show. Comedy queen.

The Ones That Brought Out the Fangirl In Me AKA The Teen Years:

The O.C/One Tree Hill/Gossip Girl/The Vampire Diaries: Another category where I’m just grouping them up together cuz ultimately it wasn’t about high art with these shows. They were the staple teen shows that everyone was watching and well, I was one of those people. lol It all started with The O.C. It was one of those ‘at the right time’ kinda things cuz I just went into the 6th grade when S1 started and it was such a big hit that everyone was always talking about it and there were even shirts involved (I never went that far lol) but this is where my need to explore YouTube came and then I was making fanvids. Gossip Girl is the one where I actually inserted myself into a fandom for the first time. My goodness the cringe that came with it but it gave me two of the longest online friendships I’ve ever had so I don’t regret it. (Shoutout to @backtothestart02 here as one of them) And well, three of these shows taught me the toxicity that can come from fandom. So I’ve been less vocal/more aware with other shows because of it. There’s problematic stuff in all of these but they were entertaining most of the time despite frustration (lol) 

Honorable Mention: Teen Wolf - Had to mention this one cuz this was a show where I had a group of friends who all watched this together and we talked about it til the end (even when we weren’t happy with it lol) I was never really vocal in the fandom cuz by this point I was wary of them (fandoms I mean), but it was nice to share a show with people who felt similarly about it. As a show, I truly loved it up to 3B. Some of my favorite episodes were the ones that almost felt standalone-ish (3x06 AKA Motel California still remains my fave to this day) Lastly, it’s because of this show I was introduced to Dylan O’Brien who I always refer to as my ‘always & forever’ guy so yeah lol

Maybe Superhero Shows Are Worth Watching lol:

The Flash/Daredevil/Cloak & Dagger/Runaways: So I’m someone who growing up, beyond Spider-Man and Batman, never really jumped at superhero movies. I still don’t to an extent but I’m more willing to watch stuff now. I think because when it comes to TV, I’m willing to check out at least an ep. I got into The Flash because my friend Lauren was really into it (and still very much is now) and wanted me to check it out so I did. I sorta watched Arrow before it until a point so I’d seen Barry’s appearances on it and remembered thinking he was precious so I wasn’t surprised that I liked him as a main character. I do think these later seasons have lost some quality but I think the earlier ones were very solid and Grant is perfect in the role. Daredevil... R.I.P. That show was so high quality so the fact that Netflix cancelled it is just rude. Now... Cloak & Dagger has been one of those surprises for me cuz it was such a slow burn that when it really got going it left me wanting more. That S1 finale was so solid. Cannot wait for S2. Love the dynamic between Ty & Tandy. Now Runaways isn’t perfect but it’s my biggest fandom right now and I’m proud of that fact. It’s a show that highlights diversity with 4 PoC leads & 4 kickass ladies (Nico & Gert are my bb girls), healthy ships including an LGBTQ couple currently as the main one (tho it is Gertchase that owns my heart), and overall a pretty great cast that meshes well like the thrown together family they portray. It even got me back into writing fanfic again. A miracle tbh. lol

Overall Just Amazing:

This Is Us: I just think that this show pulled me in the second they revealed that first plot twist in the pilot. It surprised me and then they kept doing that a bit after. Now it’s more about how it has the ability to make me cry every ep and feel things. It doesn’t always touch me the same it did in that first season (it was an emotional year for me tbh) but it does have a class act cast who can always pull at my heart strings.

Boardwalk Empire: This technically could have went under something I sort of watched with my dad, but it is kinda a weird show to share I guess. We didn’t usually watch it together (saved some awkward convos sometimes lol) but always talked about each episode weekly and it was kinda fun cuz it was usually in-depth. My dad still quotes things from it to this day. He also once said that he considers S1 the best TV season he’s ever watched. I agree that it was great. For me, the first 3 seasons are solid while the last 2 felt different but still pretty good. There was such quality to it. Great acting headed by Steve Buscemi. What can I say? I have a thing for gangster stories. I could say more but I’ll stop. lol

Stranger Things: The show that really turned me into a binge-watcher. I had just gotten Netflix and what show did I decide to watch on my birthday? This show. I had seen things in the media about the kids from it and I was like, they’re adorable!! And ofc I got hooked when I actually watched the show. It just has everything in it that I like: mystery, thrills, humor, hint of romance, awesome acting, music moments, nostalgia. This was my obsession for a while until I got into some other things but if you don’t think I’m totally pumped for S3, then you best believe I’m watching it all in a day if I can. lol

Community: This is a show that reminded me how a show can think totally outside of the box and still have a lot of heart with its comedy. I love situations where a group of misfits come together and become a family. I love that this show celebrates being different. Troy Barnes remains one of my favorite TV characters ever (& omg his friendship with Abed is pure goals!!) and Donald Glover played him perfectly. And Alison Brie is just adorable as Annie. Love this group of weirdos. The quality was different after S3 but I still adore it.

Into the Badlands: Have to mention this show because what it has been doing action-wise is just incredible. The fighting sequences are out of this world. I’m always excited to see how they top it. Also, an Asian male lead? Go dude! The whole cast is wonderful and everything is just high quality, ok? Also, that cinematography!! Can’t believe it’s ending when it comes back. Sadness.

One Day at a Time: This is more of a recent discovery for me (had friends who watched it and knew it was good but only decided to check it out not too long ago) but it’s already made its impact on me. This show has so much heart to it. The writers put so much care into their work when they bring up these controversial issues in the episodes. All while being totally hilarious (but also trust me, I manage to cry at least 1 or twice an ep lol) A show centered on a Cuban family, plenty of good rep for LGBTQ/non-binary people while also handling things like depression/anxiety, addiction, immigration, etc. It’s definitely making its mark on TV. Also, Rita Moreno is a living legend who I adore. I love this cast so much.

12 Monkeys: I. loved. this. show! I still think it had the best series finale that I have seen in a while. It wrapped up things so well that I was smiling for a while after watching it. I couldn’t believe that of all shows this one gave me a happy ending. lol Casserole remains one of my all-time ships because they were truly epic and pulled at my heart strings so many times. Jennifer Goines was my queen. But seriously, a show about time travel that managed to make sense? So impressed. And the visuals? gahhh

Friday Night Lights: Last, but most definitely not least, this show is just up there as one of the all-time bests IDC. The fact that at first glance the show seems centered only about football and it got me to keep watching definitely says something. lol This show had so much heart, the cast was excellent, an ending that was pretty much perfect. Coach & Tami Taylor were relationship goals. Honestly one of the best portrayals of a married couple I’ve ever seen because they were very much a team (while yes there was the occasional bickering that you gotta love) and it just felt real, you know? Also, it’s a show that proved that you can come back from a sophomore slump (yeah S2 was the worst season) and continue to be great.I can’t decide if it’s my favorite show of all-time but it’s certainly one of the first ones to come to mind. So glad I decided to give it a chance.

There’s probably a couple other shows I could list here but some I haven’t finished yet and don’t feel ready to put them on here yet. This is just what I could come up with.

Chapter 11 aka “Welcome to Chili’s”

SPOILERS are sprinkled around extremely liberally for The Property of Hate

Masterpost here

Oh damn alright that answers my earlier question of “what will cause RGB to make like a cuttlefish”. He can fiddle with his colors at any time, but he’ll fritz and settle on colors after power surges as well

And he DODGES the black button question. Look at that anxious cane fiddling!

White knob handles color, black knob brightness, he’s just shown that the white panel opens to adjust brightness/saturation/color… is the black button just plain off?

“I lose you I leave you” is such a damned lie lmao

Let’s see what kind of Stuff people trade here!

Moments manifest as clocks, har-har

I’m in love with the borzoi vender bc I love borzois they’re such ridiculously ethereal dogs

Don’t like your current eye? Trade it for a better eye!

or you dont care about eyes, just revenge-feelings

Kisses of varying flavors, all shaped like X’s

STOP RIGHT THERE crimincal scum. RGB stole a farewell kiss (HAR HAR). But seriously, does the Market have law enforcement for this kind of thing?

I’m sorry but my shit fandom brain see’s discussion about trading body parts and my mind immediately goes to Skulduggery “lost his original skull when sleeping and replaced it by winning another one in a poker game” Pleasant

Incidentally ALSO a story about a standoffish dapper non-human taking a young girl on Adventures

uh oh

Lmao he ends up dropping his cane in panic

I love the movement in this panel. RGB just scooping her up with one arm

Goodbye New Suit we barely knew ye

RGB’s able to fine tune his pallet extremely specifically for just 3 sliders

This might be my favorite interaction in the entire damn comic

CAREFUL RGB YOUR ATTACHMENT IS SHOWING

I love how RGB decided “you know what i like what that quick camouflage did for my trousers, I’m going to coordinate my upper half to match it”

Interesting visual and sound effect- we saw a character swap out heads earlier without that CRACK. Considering Assok’s had trouble twice now with static cling to RGB’s face, is this an electric spark of sorts?

I like the detail that Watcher only speaks in one word sentences

God but that cane is convenient. What I wouldn’t give to have possessions that are impossible to lose

I love RGB quietly, actually checking in with Assok after accidentally knocking them off Hero’s head

And now for something completely different!

WHOLESOME ASSOK HUG

RGB’s starting to poke her towards her epiphany about the Make Believe

As a someone who spent a long time being a short person that’s such short people talk RGB

Dude I skimmed over Dial’s dialogue this page last time because, really. Look at it. So lets actually read this sucker

Oh shit Dial actually mentions the Elastic Valley way before we get there ourselves

He’s got to what now. TOby is there on a JOB? Someone put him here on PURPOSE? I thought he just ended up there and was so surly to every fucking thing and everyone passing by was like “ok u can stay there rudepants”. What’s he on watch for?? Unless it’s far more punishment than it is useful assignment

Bad puns, go to jail

Oh shit does Watcher have another pair of eyes on his wings? Damn! For a guy with 4 eyes he sure is not very helpful at his job later on!!

Hooo does his boss make Dial nervous. Lookit that stutter and devolution to muttering

When Dial says TOby took his eye off things, is he referring to letting RGB+Hero pass by (how would he stop them)? Is it that the wind blew him over and blocked his vision (THAT IS LITERALLY NOT HIS FAULT)?

And what the hell has TOBy done to defy Hate previously? What does he have opinions that Hate/Dial would have him change his mind about?

See you space cowboy…

And because I can’t make up my mind on what to meme here: “mm whatcha saaay”

A thought on Dial’s design… his head says “ON AIR”. Later we know that Hate can listen in on him. D’you figure he ever makes himself “OFF AIR” other than when he sleeps?

Now this little here combined textbox gives me some thoughts…

I haven’t paid attention to the color of character text beyond Hero’s voice getting eroded by sand, but… boxes can be any color and shape, its not uncommon for characters to have separate fonts, but words themselves? Only ever black and white. Now this could be for the sake of no eyestrain against backgrounds, but... consider the dichotomy TPoH is building up over its story

white in this comic is associated with bad things quite often. Lies, [-----], Hate’s realm. The blinding, scorching, destructive light of the unmasked Sun. meanwhile, darkness hides the Market from danger, and nighttime is tied intrinsically with dreaming. in fact, we JUST had an entire chapter dedicated to framing the Dark as good, protective, and aligned with trees and water, other positive entities

For a minute I got all excited because Dial and the Butterfly both have white text, thinking “oh, my god. do all Hate-aligned characters have white text?” this gets jossed pretty hard by Julienne’s white text, as well as Cell and Tailor.

but while THINKING on that, I jumped back to Storytime in chapter 10 and check this out: the moment RGB starts his story, text is suddenly white. Most of it continues to be in white… except for these two sentences

AND CHECK THIS SHIT OUT: THE TEXT COLOR/SCENERY CHANGE COLOR TO THE FIVE COLORS OF RGB’S SCREEN. HOW DID I MISS THAT??

(flips table) WHAT DOES IT ALL MEEEEEEAN

… y’know, the only character to have a white bubble color for their speech is RGB, who speaks in black

He’s both. He’s NEUTRAL.

Considering my talent for creating OCs but chronic deficiency in building coherent and decisive stories for them, they’re all probably wandering this Market and world right now. at the very least most of them have spent a DAMN long time here before becoming realized (im so sorry guys im trying)

The ones that are complete as themselves but their stories are unstarted/uncertain? That’s like. most of them. whoops. maybe this will be the kick in the pants i need

But on a brighter note: Fosters Home for Unfinished OCs

BUT by the rules of this world, RGB doesn’t have a story… yet this is his story.

Assok’s newest position of travel is adorable and im dying

Y’know… Hero and RGB have very different ways of solving things. A little obvious, but- RGB’s solutions are always convoluted, require multiple steps, and are a little ridiculous. Or, he at least FRAMES them as complex. See: Click escape, train escape, entire scheme to find a Hero to right the world. Hero’s far more straightforward but her solutions are also more, like… sensible than RGB’s if that makes sense. If it was just RGB up on the burning heart his plan would have probably involved more "im very intelligent” and pizzaz, while Hero went for the comparatively simple “lets zipline” (versus RGB’s upcoming Click escape clusterfuck)

All of which to say, I got thinking on that with RGB being like “it’s a very complex topic I can’t possibly boil it down to anything smaller” and Hero describing what the Make Believe acts as in one word

So if this worlds objects come from the sea, the sea is connected to other worlds? And it was confirmed early on that ‘stuff’ and ‘thought’ are basically synonyms- these foreign objects can exist in the Make Believe because they’re infused with enough Stuff!

Hero and presumably all of the other Heroes came from outside the Make Believe… they are not unrealized characters, or they didn’t start out as such. To exist here like this, they must then be imbued with enough Stuff/Thought… if we specify Stuff as equivalent to creative thought… by jove! I’ve hit on (another) theory!

Haven’t all past Heroes been artists? Julienne is a dancer, Melody a musician, Dial works radio, Ticker is a craftsman, and Tailor works with textiles. TOby and Assok don’t have anything obvious, but if I was Hate, I’d turn puppeteers into motionless dolls and empty-voiced sock puppets.

oh yeah, and Click. betcha he was a toymaker

I wonder what kind of artist Hero would grow up to be? She clearly draws, we saw her work taped to her bedroom wall

Of note… RGB is also an artist. It looked like that alternate human-self we glimpse later was involved with TV production, or perhaps script writing.

Tfw your ex walks past and doesn’t even hesitate like wow Magnus be a stone cold bitch like that

also like how his speech tail loops around his neck like a noose upon seeing Maggie

ALSO, that conveniently timed mention of hands when giving examples of what makes Stuff valuable in the Market- the nostalgia and undertones of regret are strong in this one

(watches this character die) oh jesus Christ. (looks at list of decommissioned ocs) ... oops

So this is what it looks like when a character dies… what does it look like when one is realized

do you like puns? want some more quality RGB roasting? like clothes shopping? the next chapter is for you

preview, part 1, part 2, part 3

The streets were cold that night and you regretted not putting a scarf on, at least your luxurious fur coat was keeping you warm. Your heels clicked in the dark street where your taxi had dropped you off. The only light came from the bar you were heading for, laughter and music were leaking out of it. You quickly walked in, to get out of the cold winter night. A warm lighting hit your eyes and as expected a small band was playing and singing while half the bar chatted around a couple of drinks. Smiles were on everyone's faces and not one lonely drunk was to be seen, only the bliss of the warm beverages. The welcoming atmosphere soothed you, the heat of the fire reached your exposed skin and the freezing night air was soon forgotten. 

You searched around looking for anyone who could possibly be the person who had invited you here and spotted a man in a booth sitting alone on the crimson leather. He had to be him, he had all the looks of a rich person, his position straight and clothing overflowing in opulence. You put on your best smile and strode over towards him,

“Are you Park Jimin?” you asked in a soft voice, looking down on the man whose face was still hidden by the darkness. 

The man turned towards you and you were dumbfounded to discover that he was young, and drop dead stunning. His blonde hair was swept away from his forehead, revealing the integrity of his statuesque beauty. His cheeks lifted as his mouth curved to form a sweet smile making his eyes turn into small moons. 

“Yes, I suppose you are here for the sugar baby deal Y/N Y/L/N?”

You tried regaining your composure facing his glowing face and a shiver travelled down your spine as the sweet sound of his voice reached your ears. He had even remembered your name which the few sugar daddies you met had done. They were usually of mature age which is why you were surprised to see that the man facing you had the face of a 25-year-old. You sat down and took off your coat to be left only in your black silk dress that you had chosen to show off your nice shoulders. You had carefully picked a gold choker to draw attention to your neck just so the sugar daddy knew what he was getting. You did not regret your choice when you saw Jimin’s eyes drift along your bare skin and his pink tongue appear on his lips. Usually it would not affect you but usually, the men were too old at your taste, pleasing them was just part of the job.This one, on the other hand, had already got your insides turning at the beginning of the conversation.

“I am indeed.” you answered, taking in the sight of the place you were in.  The golden light escaping from the tongues of fire reflected on Jimin’s face and there was so much softness there, yet also something indescribable that made your head spin. A half empty drink was on the table, and you assumed he had been here for quite a while. He must have come early because you made sure your were bang on time. “I hope I didn’t make you wait too long.”

“No, don’t worry.” he hummed sweetly.

“Good then.” 

You reached for your bag and pulled some papers out over which you would discuss the terms of the relationship that was going to be established between the two of you. “I would like you to be very honest about the questions I will ask you.”

He nodded and watched as you started writing his name at the top of the form. While you did so a fancy dressed waiter appeared by your side and he seemed quite out of place in this rustic place, your eyes driffted up to look at him after he asked politely what drinks you would like. Jimin offered to pay as a good sugar daddy would do and let you choose your drink before he quickly turned his attention back to you.

You began by the boring stuff, “So, I would like you to give me your age.���

“24.”

You had almost got it right, he was only three years older than you, it shouldn’t have but the thought made a small spark light your stomach. 

“Any siblings?”

“No.”

Although the answers were short there was no harshness in his voice and a gentle look on his face as he observed you note everything down.

“How about your parents?”

“I don’t know my father…”

Your pen wrote down, and you looked up at him waiting for the rest of his answer.

“My mother is dead.”

His face was blank as he said that, but there was what seemed to be a glimpse of pain, not anything obvious so maybe it was your imagination. You preferred not to ask too many questions and quickly noted his answer before moving on. After all, you didn’t need to know more than that. You were a bit curious about what had happened but it wasn’t appropriate to start asking questions, you weren’t his friend. 

“So I would like to learn a little about you, just so I know what type of person I am dealing with. So we could start with your hobbies maybe?”

He nodded and took a sip of his drink, “That sounds like a good start.” He thought a little about where to start and opened his mouth with a dazzling grin, “Do you like ballet?”

“To be fair I don’t know much about it, why?”

His face sparkled, “I used to be a dancer.”

“A ballet dancer?”

“Yes, I used to be quite good,” You could tell he was very passionate about this subject, his eyes shone just at the mention of ballet and just that made you more interested, “I started dancing at the age of three, and proper ballet at 7.”

“Three?”

“Yes, I honestly was very good, I danced for many prestigious ballets, with the finest dancers and musicians.” he sighed the memories flooding his head for a second. You tried picturing him dancing ballet and although you didn’t know much about it, a part of the black swan movie, you could only bring yourself to imagine something beautiful. 

“Why did you stop?” you asked, genuinely curious about his past dancing life. His face went blank for a second his smile completely disappeared only for an instant before reappearing a bit fader than before.

“I moved on.” The sudden change of attitude had you wondering what had actually happened, he clearly still loved dancing, but once more you were in no position to ask questions about sensitive subjects. You decided to move on, maybe ballet would come back into conversation later but you shouldn’t be the one to start the topic.

You learned quite a few things about Jimin but to be honest you forgot half of the conversation whenever he licked his lips or sent you a smirk. His grip around the crystal glass was firm and you found yourself wondering what he could do with his fingers. The amount of attention he gave you when you talked was rather flattering he seemed genuinely interested in what you had to say. Some sugar daddies only had interest in your body, so as long as you looked and dressed nicely that was fine by them, those men usually had nothing to do with your brains. They always preferred when you shut up and laughed at their stupid jokes, you were just another of their trophies. You usually ended those contracts quite quickly when you started to get enough money, and now that you were quite wealthy you usually didn’t even get a contract with them. You did not want to feel degraded as a woman. 

“So I must ask you, are you in any type of relationship? Do you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, a husband or a wife? I have no problem with it, but it’s important for me to know just so I can fill the rest of the contract.”  you stated.

Your last sugar daddy was married, but he had lied to you. You only found out after you had given him sexual favours. You didn’t mind having sex with your sugar daddy, it’s not supposed to be part of the contract, it then becomes your responsibility and not the companies, but it was a good way to get a large amount of money. So when you like the person you always offer it so long as they are single. Cheating is against your morals. When you discovered the truth you ended the contract and started to look for a new one leading you to where you are now.

He shook his head, “No, I am single.” and cocked his face to the side with a suggestive look. You squeezed your thighs together, just one look and you were already craving a taste of him. Maybe three weeks without anyone touching you was a bit too long.

“Good.” you smiled,

The conversation soon shifted, you had other things to discuss before the end of this conversation, “I do have a couple last questions, it’s a delicate subject but has to be discussed entirely.”  He lifted an eyebrow questioningly, and you cleared up what you meant, “It’s about sex.”

His eyes widened, “I thought sex wasn’t included.”

“It isn’t officially, but I take it upon myself to offer it to the men I enjoy.” You took your drink and brought it to your lips hiding your lips curving into a coy grin.

When those words left your mouth he gave you a smirk and asked teasingly, “You like me?”

Fuck, you could feel your underwear dampen a little, you cocked your head to the side, “Enough to offer you sexual favours.”

You leaned back and licked your lips as you looked at him mischievously. You made the most of this new angle and took in the frame of his body from behind the table, your eyes lingering on the veins of his neck that his soft black shirt let you get a glimpse of when he tilted his head.

“I am flattered, but I am not sure I want to pay you for sex.” he admitted and your shoulders slumped slightly in disappointment. “Don’t be offended I have personal reasons. Although…” he paused and like you let his eyes linger on your body before falling on your lips. “I might have to reconsider that.”

You chuckled satisfied you had made him change his mind, “Let’s say sex is included then, just in case.” and you ticked the little box indicating that you would be in a sexual relationship the moment you both signed the paper.

“About sex,” you continued, “There are naturally some things to talk through incase it ever happens. Just tell me your preferences and hopefully for you, I will be okay with everything you are into.”

His face reddened slightly, but he soon acted as confident as before. He leaned in to look you in the eye, “I am mostly into anything.” 

You gulped unable to remove your gaze from his. “I like it rough, and tender. I am the type to slap you on the ass and then soothe the soreness with my lips.”

He said everything slowly and quietly his voice was a bit hoarse, and he made sure that you paid attention to his every word. You did, and your laced panties were becoming stickier by the second. He whispered although you were sure no one was paying attention to what was going on in your booth. Everyone was too drunk to notice. You never thought you would be this attracted to one of your sugar daddies, you had never been so excited about a contract before. The few words he had said already had your imagination drifting to places it shouldn’t. 

“I like sex when I am in control, I like taking the girl from behind and slamming right into her until she screams my name. I love when they beg to suck me off, I like to hear a girl whine. I’d sure love to hear you moan my name.”

You gripped the leather under your hand, his eyes were pitch black and you could tell he was as full of lust as you were. You wished he could fuck you right now.  “I will.” you teased, “If you’re worth it.” You leaned over the table a little just to reveal a bit of your cleavage.

“Oh, you’re being a tease now are you? That’s good.” he sipped on the burning drink and let it trickle down his throat as he admired the sight of your breasts. “There are so many things I’d like to see you do. How about riding my cock? I am sure you’d look great from that angle. Or maybe riding my thigh, would you enjoy that?”

You nodded as you wetted your lips. He wasn’t saying much to start with and now he was pouring out every single of his fantasies before you, and it managed to make desire leak down your squeezed thighs.

“Or maybe even with your hands bonded to the bed.” he snickered, “Fuck I can imagine so many things already.”

You noted down his preferences at your best but at this point, it was as if all he wanted was to make you wild with lust and it was working. You tapped your fingers lightly on the table trying to distract you from the heat taking over your body. The wood made very little noise when your nails hit it and you looked back up from the paper.

“I am alright with all that,” honestly at this oint you would e alright with anything he would say.  “How about protection? I am on the pill and carry no STD, so I am fine with unprotected sex if you’re clean.” you had to move on, the contract wasn’t over with.

“I am.”

“So unprotected sex it is?”

“Yes.” Fuck, fuck fuck  he bit his lip, you hoped he couldn’t smell your juices as well as you did. You were in real need of a fuck after three weeks of only getting yourself off with your fingers and now this man was purring dirty things to you and you were soaked. You tried repositioning yourself hoping the smell would be less strong. Your leg moved slightly under the table and met his by accident, to your surprise he retracted quickly and shifted in his seat. He still smiled but there was something different than a few seconds ago, the game was definitely over.

“There must be a safe word, just in case.”

“Of course..” you both thought for a couple of seconds and searched for a word, “How about crystal?”

“Sure.” Crystal, that’s a nice word you thought.

“How about PDA?”

He frowned “I prefer not to.” was all he answered so you ticked the negative answer. Fair enough.

“Very well.”

You ended filling the contract, you were to come from Saturday to Tuesdays at 3 pm and leave at 9 pm, unless he texted you saying otherwise. He chose to pay you a considerable amount of money and when you heard the sum leave his mouth your jaw dropped, you had never been paid so much before. You accepted, after all, you were in this for money, luxury had become your thing.  After you had both agreed on the final terms, you signed and handed him the paper and the fancy pen one of your dick sugar daddies had bought you. You hated that guy but he had a good taste in pens. He signed and when you took the papers back from him your hands brushed slightly and that only contact made your insides throb. You ignored the tingle and tucked them into your bag.

“I guess that’s done with then.”

“Will you be heading home now?”

“Yes, it is quite late already.” you said when looking at your watch, it was way past midnight, “and I don’t think we have much to talk about anymore?” you inquired.

“No, you’re right you should leave.” he said a hint of disappointment in his voice as you downed the rest of the warm beverage. Maybe it was just your imagination playing tricks on you again. You put your coat back on, took your bag and as you stood up you noticed he did the same, “Let me at least get you a taxi home, it’s not safe outside at this time for a beautiful woman.”

The compliment heated your cheeks slightly, and you accepted his offer. You made your way out of the crowded bar and out into the streets. You walked side by side down the alley with only a few inefficient lamp posts to guide your steps. Not a word was exchanged for most of the way, only the sound of your shoes on the small wonky stones and in the couple of puddles formed by melted snow. The tension between your bodies was tensing every muscle you had, why didn’t he speak? You hoped it wouldn’t always be like this, the only time he made detailed answers was when he told you what he liked in sex, “I love when they beg to suck me off.” The memory of those words would stay in your mind all night. You looked at the man beside you discreetly, his back was straight and posture on point. He was probably raised by some fancy family, just the way he looked in front of him showed you that. He walked as if he owned everything he lay eyes on, everything except you. He caught you looking and a friendly eye smile appeared, you blushed and quickly turned your head away. His gaze had nothing to do with the way other men looked at you. Whenever you showed a bit of skin men would look at you as meat. As if you were their prey, inferior to them, there for their personal satisfaction. With Jimin it was different, when your eyes met you saw none of that. Desire was easy to catch on his face, the dilated pupils and stares a bit too long to pass unnoticed were obvious signs, and although it was clear he was attracted to you he did his best to hide it. He looked at you like an actual person, as if he had interest in you, in what you had to say, as if he actually respected you. It could possibly be just a facade to fool you, to get what he wanted but you believed his honest beams.

You finally reached the main street, people flooded the pavements and roads although it was so late and freezing. It always surprised you how lively some places of the city were when others seemed completely dead and abandoned. He walked over to a taxi, and opened the door for you expecting you’d walk in right away, but you didn’t want to leave just yet. Something about him drew you in, so you decided to make your farewells last as long as you could, “Thank you very much for tonight.” you said politely.

“It was my pleasure, thank you for accepting angel.”

The small pet name made your hairs stand up as the heat ignited once more, you never thought you would enjoy being called that but coming from Jimin’s night it felt so right.

“I’ll see you tomorrow then at 3pm?” you purred.

“Of course, I’ll be waiting for you.” he chuckled his laugh melting you within seconds.

You set foot into the car and before he shut, a murmur tickled your ear, “Sleep well Y/N.” and the door shut.

You watched him disappear in the crowd as the taxi drove away still feeling flutters in your stomach due to his warm voice. Your ear still felt the tingle of his lips grazing your skin, who was he to turn you on like this? You reached your apartment your mind still full of memories of mysterious Park Jimin and your panties completely soaked. You seriously needed to get laid more often. You quickly walked inside, chucked your coat on the floor, fumbled for your drawers and reached for your favourite vibrator to instantly deal with that burning heat.

You lay on your bed legs open as you took the pink toy and delicately pressed the button to set the vibrations at a slow pace to start with. You guided it through you folds and found your clit easily and let out a deep sigh of satisfaction, finally some release. You let the toy do its work slowly pushing you to the edge.

Without you noticing your thoughts wondered back to what Jimin had said, “I like sex when I am in control, I like taking the girl from behind and slamming right into her until she screams my name.” That was all you wanted right now, to scream his name and wake up the neighbours. You wished you could get a hold of him, see his bare skin. What a sight that must be, his cock red and hard ready to fuck you good. The cheeky smirk he had given you plastered on his face before he pushed into, juices all over his plump lips from eating you out. Fuck, you couldn’t help but wonder what he could do with his thick lips pressed up against your pussy. Your mind was all over the place, your imagination took you far away from the sad reality of a vibrator between your legs and no Jimin in sight.

Your moans were becoming louder as you set the vibrating at a higher speed, before cupping one of your breasts and groping them, fiddling with the sensitive buds.

“Or maybe riding my thigh, would you enjoy that?” You moaned again as his words rolled in your head, you knew you would enjoy that. You could clearly picture yourself rubbing up and down his leg. When he walked you out you noticed just how thick and toned they were and the idea of riding his thigh suddenly became even more appealing.

Just the thought of doing such things with Jimin had a spark of fire ignite in your pit. You pictured him above you his hair sticking to his forehead, his chest heaving with heaving breaths, grunts and moans tumbling from his red lips. You wished you could have his hands roam your body, as he plunged his cock inside of you. The memory of his lustful gaze told you enough, you knew you turned him on and had never felt so happy about turning your sugar daddy on. Seriously, what had he done to you? You barely knew him and here you were touching yourself only thinking about him.

You pushed your fingers inside of you, it wasn’t as good as a dick but it would do. The steady rub of your fingers against your walls and vibrations on your clit was enough to get you come. That night you came harder than you had from masturbation in months, you ended up as a pile of shaky sweaty limbs on your bed, sighs oddly sounding like the name of your brand new sugar daddy slipping from your lips.

You had a hard time believing that you were this attracted to a man you had just met, more or less a stranger, and what blew you away, even more, was the fact that he was your sugar daddy. He hadn’t said much but there were a few signs that drove you crazy, his dirty words, and wondering eyes.

You went to sleep eager to see him the next day, never had you been so excited by a new contract. But as you sunk into a deep sleep you realised you might not get to touch him very soon.

[dong-hyucks]

Dating Lay Would Include…

A/N: okay !! so as you guys may know, there is a high chance of me opening applications for a new admin so keep on the lookout for that sometime soon [it also depends on the response i get, like if no one talks to me about it i’ll probably think no one is interested in being an admin so--]

Masterlists

okay so wow

it’s only been 14 days since the baekhyun one guys be proud i didn’t take 14 years

lmao jk MOVING ON

so you’re just a regular person

you live your life normally, working as a [profession/job]

to be honest, your work life takes up so much of your time, you don’t get to enjoy the luxury of plain old relaxation

it wasn’t always like that, but after your hard work got you noticed by your employer, he promoted you which meant more money, so who were you to complain

however, it also meant more hours

what is free time? you have no idea

but !! thanks to your countless overtimes and hours worked, you managed to grow a hefty amount of time off

which you took the moment your birthday neared

after that, you met up with your friends

friends: wow, look at that-- [Y/N]’s not working for once wowow what?? a?? rare?? occasion??

anywhoodle, your friend had become an intern at the one and only, SM Entertainment

and that week happened to be a ‘holiday’ of sorts, in which different ranks (of employees) were allowed to bring a friend or family member on a specific day

it was friday, the day for interns and other lower ranked positions

ps this is not a real holday lmao

so, she brought you

unfortunately,,, you got lost literally half an hour after you arrived

at that point, you were just wandering aimlessly down hallways

luckily for you, you were given a guest pass so you didn’t get reprimanded by security

as you passed a room, you could hear a familiar song being blasted from within

you naturally got curious and whoop-di-whoop you walked in without knocking

good job, very polite

you were shocked at what you saw

a man, presumably in his twenties, was dancing in the dimly lit room

he apparently didn’t see or hear you, too focused on his movements and on the music

you were just :o the entire time

his body moved fluidly, as if the bones and all the joints in his body didn’t feel pain as he bent this way and that

as you watched in just utter amazement, you didn’t notice the male sneaking up behind you

you too were focused on the dancer and the music

suddenly, someone -- the male -- firmly took hold of your shoulders

you let out a noise, perhaps a squeak, maybe not

your little noise alerted the wonderful dancer of your presence

the man, the one who had surprised you, chuckled

“wow, yixing, looks like you’ve got a fan here.”

yixing laughed a little, but he looked like he had no idea what was going on

same

anywAy you were reunited with your friend via security and nothing else really happened for the rest of the day

your life went as usual, until your birthday <<

your friends took you out to a restaurant and bOoM guess who you see

that’s right, the dAnCer from before

he was w a group of friends, but your own must’ve noticed you kept glancing over at their table because they started laughing

your intern friend was like wOaH [Y/N] yOu LiKe tHem??

they almost forced you to go over to their table bUt wow the boys did it for you

basically the same guy who had you by the shoulders walked up to your table, dragging yixing with him

“hi, hey, hello, i’m baekhyun-- i saw you last week, yes -- my friend would like your number”

cue awkward silence

your friends were practically convulsing in their seats while you were just ???

you made eye contact with yixing for a split second before he looked away in embarrassment -- from his friend or from the eye contact, you weren’t sure

“sure”

even baekhyun looked shocked, no one was expecting you to actually agree

that was the start of yours and yixing’s friendship tho, so it’s all good

at first, you only sent texts together like once a week but after you mentioned one of his favourite songs he instantly became the person you talked to most lol

rip your friends

anyway he didn’t catch feelings until like five months later

and when he realized he liked you he may or may not have accidentally confessed to you

oops he accidentally called you instead of kyungsoo and practically spilled about his crush

“... yixing”

“oh shit”

yes but anyway you were the one who asked him out

it was a pretty straight forward convo over the phone but both of you were left smiling at your phones once you hung up

woo we’ve reached the main part of this post

okay so

i feel like yixing would be such a sweet boyf

like, he’d randomly buy you gifts and be really nonchalant about it all, he’d compliment you at least twice a day, he tells you he loves you often, etc.

if you say something about his gifts, i.e “yixing pls are you trying to buy me over--”

“what do you mean? i just love you so much, you deserve the world and more.”

yeah he’ll say cheesy stuff like that sometimes

other times he just says and does the randomest things

like some days he’ll be really quiet for a while and then the moment you look over in his direction he’ll pull a strange face or just start dancing

you’re either ??? half the time or you’re joining in on the randomness

eventually he just gets you to join in honestly

overall a v fun relationship

anywho!! the first ily happened pretty early on

yixing was quite straight forward bc honestly he fell for you and your wonderful personality so quickly

so he had no shame in saying it

that by no means mean he forced you to say it back, he’d be willing to wait as long as he had to for you to say it

but!! when you did say it he was ecstatic

like

he was over the moon

he’d get this smile on his face, one different from the one you see in pictures and fancams

and he’d get really cuddly

a bit more than usual

from then on you guys say it like everyday

whenever he’s texting you and he has to go, he ends his texts w ‘ily xx’

and when he’s in town he always kisses your cheek good bye and says ‘i love you’ whenever he’s leaving or you are

moving on

your first kiss happened about a month after you two started dating

you were having one of those casual dates; pyjamas, food, movies in the living room, etc.

truthfully, you had picked a very boring movie but the two of you were too comfortable under your blankets to change it

so you just talked to each other the entire movie with it quietly playing in the background

he had his arm around you and you had your legs thrown over his lap

you talked about random things

from your job, to his career, to the puppy you saw earlier in the day

and while you were talking about something, you had this small smile on your face due to your enthusiasm for what you were talking about

yixing was staring at you with literally heart eyes bc ‘wow, i’ve been truly blessed to be in a relationship with an angel’

after a moment or two, you noticed how he was just looking at you fondly

you got flustered for a moment before relaxing under his gaze

it got really quiet, neither of you speaking

completely tuning out the movie, yixing leaned forward and just kissed you

it wasn’t a long kiss by any means, a second long at the most

but w o w his warmth was just transferred to you in a single second

he wouldn’t even say anything about it, instead he would press another kiss against your temple before bringing you closer to his chest

“i love you”

soft

okay so you two talk about pets quite a bit

sOrRy iF yoU’Re ALLeRgIC? you can have a golfish bubs

you would both love to have a pet but both of your jobs are quite demanding and you wouldn’t be able to take care of said pet very well

but you still talk about it a lot anyway

you live vicariously through the other member’s and your friends whom own pets

that was a short topic

moving on again

your first fight yikes

you two don’t fight fight that often

like, you have mini squabbles every now and then

over what movie you wanted to watch, whose playlist you’d play in the car, etc.

but the first actual fight you had was over nothing, really

you were both stressed from work and at that point you both just wanted to sleep for eternity

the two of you ended up having a little argument about something small

one thing led to another, you were leaving the vicinity and slamming the door without a single word

yixing didn’t follow, too tired to function as he normally would

it was only half an hour later when he realized that you had rushed out in anger

he got super worried because ‘what if you didn’t get home safely?’

he began to get super guilty

quickly rushing out of the dorms, with the boys asking why he was in such a hurry, he looked for you

he only realized after he stepped outside that it was raining

then he was literally in panic mode because you could hurt yourself somehow aNd get sick

so he basically stole one of the member’s cars and started to look for you

eventually, he found you standing underneath the shelter of a corner store

he easily recognized you from down the street, even though your head was bowed

as he parked the car, he noticed how you were shivering

he walked up to you, gently placing his hands on your shoulders and rubbing up and down your arms

you jumped, but you relaxed after seeing who was in front of you

“yixing? what--”

“‘what’ doesn’t matter right now, you’re freezing. c’mon we’ll head back to your place where you can take a nice, hot bath.”

you just followed, staring at his back as you both walked

the drive to your house was in silence, even the radio was turned down

when the two of you arrived, he waited patiently for you to open the door, not uttering a word

after that, he told you to make yourself a hot chocolate [or tea, or coffee-- whatever you prefer] while he drew a bath

you just complied

by the time he came back into the kitchen, you were sitting at your kitchen table sipping on a cup of cocoa

he sat across from you; “the bath’s ready,” he said, even though it was quite obvious

you just left to bathe in silence

when you came back, yixing had fallen asleep at your kitchen table

you started feeling worse because ‘wow, i’ve taken so much time away from his day already and now he’s probably uncomfortable--’

you moved to shake him, so that he could sleep on your bed or something more comfortable, but he awoke before you could

he merely looked up at you, his head still in his arms

“i’m sorry.”

“i’m sorry too.”

he shifted, stretching his arms

he smiled gently over at you, making you melt a bit inside

“what were we even fighting about?”

“if we can’t even remember, it was probably something dumb.”

standing up, yixing took your hand and brought you to your room

he slowly lied down, bringing you with him

his arm fell over your body, tugging you closer to his chest as he always did whenever you hugged

he pressed another soft kiss to your temple, then your cheek, and finally your lips

it was like his way of apologizing again

you could tell he was falling asleep because he started to blink longer

“yixing, we’re still in our outside clothes and we haven’t brushed--”

“shh, i’ll still love you in the morning even when you have stinky morning breath.”

“yiXING--”

you just laughed into his chest before relaxing

you could hear his beating heart, how it began to slow as he fell asleep

as you closed your eyes, the last thing you could remember was him shifting to hold your hand

okay wow

this took an hour

anywho-- a relationship with yixing would have so many sides to it

the soft, romantic side

the random yet amazing side

the serene, quiet side

and at times, a hyper side

overall, yixing would treat you like royalty

i’d hope you do the same for him

:)

Working Title: Forward, Back (18/?)

Summary:  Knowing what’s going to happen doesn’t mean Sans can stop it.  Maybe he could’ve put it off forever.  Sans decides to go.

Rating: T

Part Summary: Alphys isn’t the only one who wants to go along.  This is the end of part two.  Thanks for reading!

>>First Part<<

"My child."  Toriel stood in the doorway going into Frisk's room. "I need to speak with you, before you leave."  

Frisk's bed was covered in items - armor, weapons, healing items, and keys - and they seemed busy going through them, but they stopped and nodded at Toriel to continue.  

"I know that you believe that you are in some way responsible for us. And you have done a great service for monsterkind, it is true."

Toriel folded her paws in front of her.  It would not be very long before her child decided it was time to move away and start their own life separate from hers.  They were already an adult, even if it was difficult for her to see them that way.  Time rushed onwards, and Toriel felt like a rock - barely moving, but worn smooth by the unending motion around her.  

For now, though, her child lived in their home, and she could do her best to be a mother to them.

Frisk told her that Sans was their friend.

"He is an adult.  We are all adults.  He has an illness that does not go away completely.  You are not responsible for this."

They shook their head.  Sans was their friend, still, even if they weren't responsible.  

Toriel sighed.  "Well, so long as that is clear.  If things turn out...to not be as we all are hoping, it is not you who are at fault."

Frisk agreed, but they did not meet her eyes.

She walked over to the bed and rested her hands on Frisk's shoulders.  "I will pack a few things, myself.  It is always useful to bring someone who knows healing magic, no matter where you are going."

They looked up at her and nodded.  They thanked her.

--

The clear liquid in Grillby's teacup gave off a powerful smell.  Papyrus had no idea if drinking rubbing alcohol in a vessel meant for soothing herb juice was a negative or neutral sign of a fire elemental's state of mind.  

Grillby nodded hello instead of speaking.  He had not had much to say, recently.

"ARE YOU IN HERE WAITING TO GIVE ME A PROPER FAREWELL?"  Papyrus guessed.  "I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT, BUT I DO NOT EXPECT TO BE LONG.  AND I WILL SEND YOU AND EVERYONE MINUTE-TO-MINUTE UPDATES ON OUR PROGRESS."

Papyrus was leaving to pick up Undyne and Alphys.  

Grillby shook his head.  He took out his phone and handed it to Papyrus.  

Papyrus found himself looking at a series of messages Grillby had exchanged with Alphys.

Alphys: Well, I don't mind if you go, but, um, half the bridges in Waterfall are just floating planks of wood right now.  So you'd pretty much have to take a boat across?

Grillby: That's fine.

Alphys: The other way's even more of a mess.  

Alphys: it's so weird?  once we locate sans i should make sure this isn't some side effect from shutting down the core i'm still not 100% sure we used proper protocols for that

Alphys: oops off topic, sorry.  of course we'll tell you as soon as we find anything!  you really can stay home and let us deal with everything.

Grillby: I know.  I'll still go.

Alphys: ok...i can't *really* say no can i considering i shouldn't be going either!!!  lmao =^.^=

Alphys: OH.  that's why you asked me, huh?

Grillby: Yes.

Alphys: so!!!!!!  see you soon, then??

Grillby: Yes.

"UM..."  Papyrus continued scrolling down.

"Asgore will watch the children," Grillby said, as he took back his phone.

Papyrus was not entirely certain it was a good idea for Grillby to go with them.  "I AM IMPRESSED BY YOUR DECISIVENESS, HOWEVER THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO CONFRONT YOUR FEAR OF WATER AT THIS EXACT TIME.  AS I SAID, THERE WILL BE MINUTE-TO-MINUTE UPDATES, SO IT WILL BE LIKE YOU ARE ACTUALLY THERE ANYWAY."

He supposed that his worry was that Grillby was going in order to assuage some unnecessary emotion like "guilt."  There was no reason for Grillby to feel guilty!  There was no reason for anyone to feel guilty, as Papyrus had reminded himself constantly since his brother had gone missing.

Papyrus took out his phone and typed a message.

Grillby's phone, set to its highest volume setting, went off.  Papyrus sensed mild irritation off of Grillby as he took out his phone again.

Papyrus: LIVE UPDATE #1 - THE GREAT PAPYRUS STILL STANDS IN HIS KITCHEN.  HIS VERY GOOD FRIEND AND BROTHER-IN-LAW GRILLBY HAS JUST SAID HE IS COMING ON THIS JOURNEY, AND PAPYRUS IS TRYING TO DECIDE THE BEST WAY TO SAY HE SUPPORTS GRILLBY'S DECISION WITHOUT IMPLYING IT IS NECESSARY FOR HIM TO GO.  THE EVER-COMPETENT PAPYRUS IS ON THE CASE AND WILL DO WHATEVER IS NEEDED, NO MATTER WHAT.  BUT THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE CAR!

Grillby sent a short message back: Thank you.  I'm going.

Papyrus: LIVE UPDATE #2 - PAPYRUS IS DELIGHTED TO WELCOME GRILLBY ALONG ON THE JOURNEY!

Papyrus held out his gloved hand.  Grillby finished his drink in one sip and let Papyrus pull him to his feet.

"Good night, and be well, children."  The door clicked shut behind Asgore.

Soozen sat up in her borrowed bed as soon as the light went out in the hall.

It was difficult to move silently, as a slime.  She slid slowly out of bed to try and keep squelching to a minimum when she touched the cold floor.

Angel burbled from the other bed.

"Shhh, go to sleep."

They made a questioning sound.  

"I just don't feel like sleeping yet, okay?" she hissed.  

Angel shifted around and got out of their little cot, too.  Soozen guessed they didn't feel much like sleeping, either.  She waited a minute to see if Asgore heard them moving around and came back, but the hall outside stayed quiet.  

"Ok, look, kiddo," she said, sliding over to them.  "There's something I have do.  None of the grownups are telling us anything, and that isn't fair."  She told them, quiet, about her plan.  It would be better if someone knew, right?  Then they wouldn't have to worry so much when they found her missing.

Angel liked her plan so much, they wanted to go, too.

"No, look, Angie, I'm almost an adult."

They said that they were the last one to see Sans, so they had to go.  She understood the words they were signing, but wasn't sure what they meant.  

"No you don't.  C'mon.  It's safer here."

Angel signed, "If I don't go with you, I'm telling Asgore and you won't go, either."

"That's dirty."

"And I don't want to be here by myself."  Angel finished signing and went almost flat against the floor, miserable.

There were a million of Undyne's kids there, and Asgore and Gerson to watch them, but Soozen knew what they meant.  Undyne's kids were family, but more like cousins.  Papyrus, Grillby and Sans were family family.  If she locked Angel in a closet and ran off, they'd be all by themselves and they'd hear even less about what was going on without Soozen bugging everyone for answers.  

"...okay, jeez, fine, but I'm in charge.  No messing around, okay, Angel?"

She regretted agreeing when Angel took their favorite stuffed toy off their bed to bring with them, but she'd already agreed.

"All right, kid.  Let's head out."

a-z nsfw: moon taeil

warning: absolute filth (YOU’VE BEEN WARNED)

author’s note: so, I've seen a handful of these floating around, and I decided to make my own, cause why not! (I got this template from @chantenyongs but I wasn’t able to find the original creator to give proper credit to... I'm sorry!) I’m pretty sure I’m gonna do it for the entirety of nct (legal members only, of course) and I'll prolly just go in age order? alrighty, without further ado! (K, I just finished and I went a little overboard with this lmao oops)

that stare at the very end of the gif; hot damn

A = Aftercare

I don't know if it’s just because he’s the oldest, but it’s very evident that Taeil has taken this sort of “mother figure” towards the rest of the boys. They’ve even admitted that Taeil is the best one to turn to in regard to any personal problems they may be having. And for that very reason, I strongly believe that this angel would be tending to your every need (and then some) after y’all finish “doin’ the do.” It doesn't matter if the two of you spent hours partaking in rough, kinky sex, or if you simply made love for 20 minutes. Either way, his first instinct is to ask you how you’re feeling; followed by questions regarding showering, eating, and the possibility of another round KIDDING!

B = Body part (Their favorite body part of their’s and their partner’s)

Okay but I remember reading somewhere that he said his favorite body part of his was his abs, so.... I’m just gonna leave that one as it is lmao. As for you, he’s in love borderline obsessed with your neck/jaw. Whenever you guys are alone, he likes to cup your face and rub little circles into your jawline right before he kisses you; slowly making his way down to - you guessed it -  your neck. During steamier moments, he loves attacking your neck area; loving how you squirm underneath him. He doesn't even try to hide the smirk on his face as the whimpers pour out of your mouth while continues to go to town on your neck. When he’s finished, he sits back and takes a good 15 seconds to praise himself on the dozens of blue-ish/green bruises scattered all over your neck and jawline.

C = Cum

In all honesty, I think Taeil likes to keep it plain and simple and cum inside of you. Not only does it save you a mess that neither of you really wants to clean, but he enjoys the intimacy of it. When he feels himself about to fall off the edge, he loves to hold your body flush against his, and bury his face in your neck as he lets himself go inside of you.

D = Dirty secret (A dirty secret of theirs)

This is more of a secret the both of you share, rather than just him, but if any of the boys found out it would end the two of you. You’d both be too mortified to show your faces ever again... I mean, who wouldn't be embarrassed if their friends found out that they took part in their sex life? The entire thing actually started out as an accident. One day while you were at the dorms, you unintentionally got a little too close to Yuta while the two of you were watching a scary movie together. Taeil watched from the other room, fuming as you clung onto one another; burying your faces into each others chests. That night, Taeil decided to show you who you really belonged too, and after agreeing that that was by far the best sex the two of you had ever had, the whole “using the members to tease Taeil” thing became a regular occurrence!

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

As far as actual physical experience goes, I don't think Taeil has much of any. He spent years of his life as a trainee, with presumably little to no time to maintain any kind of relationship; so I think its safe to say he’s still a virgin. But I do think he knows a lot about sex in general, and knows just how to please a woman. Given the opportunity, I think he’d do a pretty damn good job!

F = Favorite position

Taeil prefers good ol’ missionary. Referring back to the answers I've already given, this position not only gives him free rein to mark up your neck as much as he pleases, but it also allows him to pull your body against his and bury his face into your neck while he cums.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Honestly, I think it all depends on his state of mind. If he’s stress free, or as stress free as you can be as an idol, and in a good place, I think sex would be bubbly and lighthearted! But if he’s being overworked, and the pressure is weighing down on his shoulders, I feel like he’d be more serious, and focus all his attention on fucking his troubles away.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they)

Tbh I think he’s pretty good at keeping himself well groomed. As long as there’s nobody to shave for, I don't think he’d go through all the hassle. He probably trims it regularly to keep it under control, but as soon as he gets into a relationship, I can see him starting to actually shave... Cause I mean, ya never know when you’re gonna get lucky, am I right??? 

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect...)

“Doyoung-ah, I’m romantic” I'm sorry that’s the first thing that popped into my head as soon as I read the question lmao. But in all honesty, I truly think Taeil is a very romantic person! During mainstream, casual sex, I see him as the “people pleaser” type. He’s always putting you before himself. He's one of those people that actually gets off on your pleasure! He doesn't even think about coming before you have.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation)

I’d say Taeil masturbates on a regular basis; sometimes more than usual when he’s got a little extra tension built up in him. But he’s kinda weird in regard to said topic... Even though y’all have done much worse in the bedroom, he still gets oddly shy when it comes to masturbating? He checks at least three time to make sure he locked the door before even thinking about dropping his pants. Even the thought of you catching him in the act has him losing his hard on faster than he got it... idk man, I guess everyone needs their alone time, right?

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again - Taeil is one hella freaky dude. As far as kinks go, I think he’s into the following:

Dominance: Referring back to the “dirty secret,” you can bet your ass Taeil is gonna be the one in charge in the bedroom! He takes much pride in the way you listen to each and every one of his commands. Even when he “gives you control” for the night, you and him both know damn well that you’re never really in control... Even when you top, he’s got a firm grasp on your hips; controlling both your speed and your movements.

Marking (giving & receiving): Also referring back to his favorite body part of yours, Taeil has a slight obsession with leaving as many hickeys on you as he can. He loves the way your body, (neck in particular), looks after he’s left his mark on you; in the form of little purple blotches. He also secretly loves it when you return the favor; as long as its below the neckline, and out of sight for anyone to see! He likes to bitch and complain about the hickeys on his chest and scratch marks covering his back the morning after, but when he's all alone, he’ll stand in the mirror shirtless, and admire the work of art you left on his skin.

Dirty talk (giving & receiving): At first glance, Taeil might seem like a shy and reserved kind of guy, but in the bedroom he’s far from! He’s actually quite blunt. He likes to whisper crude remarks in your ear in-between pants and moans; leaving you speechless and blushing like crazy. But Taeil can’t even put into words what it does to him when you return the vulgar comments. It sends a chill down his spine hearing such dirty words spill from your precious mouth, and he has to stop himself from coming right then and there.

Teasing (giving): This little shit... Taeil is the biggest damn tease! One of his favorite things to do is make you beg for whatever it is he’s withholding from you. He’s relentless, too. If you’re feeling stubborn and refuse to give into his desire to hear you beg, then oh well. I guess you’ll have to go without, because no matter how willful you may be, he’s even more headstrong; and he is not giving you want you want until he hears you beg for it!

Orgasm control (giving): This one goes hand in hand with the teasing. More often than not, Taeil is going to make you work for your orgasms! Right when he realizes you’re on the brink of euphoria, he’ll slow down any and all movements to an agonizing, torturous pace, with a cocky smirk plastered on his face. He’ll then proceed to taunt you, asking if you “really deserve it” in an ever so condescending tone. Sometimes ya just wanna slap him.

Loud sex: If you ask me, Taeil is one of, if not the loudest in bed. He lets himself bask in the pleasure, not giving two fucks about how loud he may be in the process. But he’s always making an effort not to get too loud; as he wants to be able to hear you crying out from the pleasure. And if you’re thinking of slapping a hand over your mouth, or biting your lip to forcibly quiet yourself down, don't; because Taeil won't be having any of that.

L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)

Honestly, this freak dude would be fine taking you anywhere, as long as theres a locked door; meaning absolutely no chance of getting caught. Being the oldest, there’s this sense of responsibility he carries, and he can't help but try to be the best role model possible to his younger brothers. Getting caught having sex by one of the other members is one of the worst things that could happen, according to him.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going, etc)

As previously stated, seeing you “flirting” with his friends is a sure way to get him all riled up and ready to fuck your brains out. But a very close second to that would be stress. Taeil is the type of person to literally fuck his stress away. If he’s being overworked and pushed too hard, his emotions get all out of whack, which tends to makes him extremely horny. And I’m not talking “cute, bubbly, vanilla sex” horny - no. I’m talking “fucking you into your mattress so hard you can’t walk tomorrow” horny. But I mean hey, who’s complaining? He’s relieving himself of some unwanted stress while you get dicked the fuck down... It’s a win-win situation!

N = NO (Something they wouldn't do; turn offs)

Like I said, Taeil wouldn’t do anything to risk getting caught in the act by any of the other members. Meaning absolutely no sex if theres not a lock on the door. Just the thought of that is bone chilling to him. Other than that, Taeil strikes me as the kind of guy to “try anything once,” so I think with him, experimenting would be a major key in letting you know what things he enjoys and what things  he doesn't.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Honestly, with Taeil, its dead even. Of course he loves getting his dick sucked, (what guy doesn't), but he loves pleasuring you just as much. Watching you squirm underneath him while your faces scrunches in pleasure, hands desperately grabbing at his hair as you whimper his name followed by moans and groans of pure satisfaction is a thing of beauty to him. He wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. As far as skills go, this boy definitely knows how to use his mouth; thats for sure! Hell, he probably knows your own body better than you do!

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc)

Like I've been saying throughout this entire post, his pace, attitude, and everything alike depends 100% on what kind of mood he’s in. But more often than not, be prepared for rough sex, because thats exactly what Taeil will be giving to you!

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc)

Hell yeah, Taeil’s down for a quickie! But, (for the 50th time), only if its behind the security of a locked door! Whether it be fast one in a LOCKED bedroom at the dorms, or a quick fuck in a LOCKED supply closet backstage before a show, he’s all up for it! He just, and this bares repeating, DOESN’T WANT TO GET CAUGHT!

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc)

Taeil’s as game as they come. Like I mentioned, he’s the kinda guy to try something at least once before deciding whether or not he likes it. A big part of your sex life is experimenting with different kinds of positions, kinks, toys, etc. As far as risks go, Taeil is pretty mild. Since getting caught is a huge no-no, don't expect to try anything spontaneously perilous.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last, etc)

I’d say Taeil’s stamina is a little above average. On average, he can go two, sometimes three rounds if he’s feeling up to it. Sex as a whole usually lasts about an hour or so, (give or take a little), but a lot of it foreplay, rather than actual sex. Still good, nonetheless!

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

It definitely depends on the toy! I can see Taeil loving things like handcuffs, blindfolds, and pretty much anything that has to do with sensory depravation; aiding him in the teasing aspect of things. But I don't see him being too fond of toys such as vibrators. He prides himself in knowing just what you like and being able to pleasure you in unthinkable ways, so bringing in a toy that’ll potentially take his place isn't really ideal to him. He also isn't too keen on you using any of said toys on him. In his eyes, it only takes away from the domineering persona that he worked so hard to build.

U = Unfair (How much do they like to tease?)

HE TEASES YOU TO NO EXTENT! Sometimes, if he's feeling extra cruel, he’ll see just how far he can take the teasing; until you absolutely can't take it anymore. If that means you’re left with tears pricking at the corners of your eyes, then so be it. His dominant nature mixed with his love for teasing and hearing you beg makes for some harsh and persistent torment. Which is still undoubtably enjoyable.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make, etc)

Again, if you ask me, Taeil is the loudest of all in the bedroom. He is very much a moaner! Most of the sounds he elicits are going to be loud, angelic moans. He’s also a bit of a groaner/grunter; especially if he’s fucking you for all you’re worth. I can definitely see him being the type to cry out when he cums, too. The most beautiful, sinful, melodious sound your ears have ever been blessed with.

W = Wild Card (Create a random headcannon for the character of your choice)

“Now, baby girl,” Taeil says, ignoring your distraught whimpers as yet another orgasm slips through your fingers, “what have I told you about flirting with my friends just to tease me?” he asks in a low, raspy tone while dragging a single digit tauntingly around your core; purposely avoiding the place you desperately needed him the most.

There was a dull ache in your shoulders as you wiggled your wrists, wincing at the chaffing of the handcuffs that currently bound your hands together. You slowly looked up to find Taeil already staring at you; making you feel completely powerless under his intense gaze. His eyes were a darker shade than usual, and his face held a stern expression that sent waves of both excitement and nervousness coursing through your body at the thought of what was to come.

“I asked you a question!” he bellowed out as he suddenly pinched your clit between his thumb and pointer finger; eliciting a high pitched yelp from you, as you helplessly tugged on your restraints.

“I’M SORRY I’M S-SORRY-” you cried out, trying to the best of your ability to shimmy your way higher up on the bed, and away from the harsh hold he had on your sex.

“Really? Cause you didn't seem too sorry when you were throwing yourself on Johnny earlier today?” he asked rhetorically as he cocked his head to the side and sent you a bone chilling glare.

“I-I...” you stuttered, unable to think of a suitable response for his accusation.

“That’s what I thought,” he replied in a curt manner, before thrusting his hips forwards; filling you up without the slightest warning.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what's going on in those pants; picture or words)

Hmm I think Taeil is average in length; maybe around 5 inches? But he definitely makes up for it in girth because DAMN that boy is THICK !!!

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Since a big part of his sex drive comes from stress, and I’d imagine he’s pretty stressed out most, if not all of the time, I'd say his sex drive is fairly high.

Z = ZZZ (How quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

This all depends on how rough he was with you. The rougher he is, the more thoughtful and considerate the aftercare will be. This boy doesn't even THINK about laying down to go to sleep before making sure you’re alright; and that he didn't go to far, or get too aggressive with you. He might be all dominant, rough and condescending during sex, but afterwards, he’s back to the sweet, harmless, caring and gentle Taeil you know and love!

i’ve been so ignorant of this fic recently :”) you guys are more than welcome to yell at me to update lmao

That evening, Wonwoo could hardly sleep.

Not because there was a lot on his mind (although he definitely was thinking at about a million thoughts per minute), but because he had been researching the glyphs decorating the NCT arrow that Jisoo had trusted him with for the night.

He had this feeling that he should know about them. At the same time, he had no idea why he should even have a clue about what they are.

He started his frenzy with random google searches: wooden symbols, arrow decorations, symbolic arrows, etc., hoping to find something useful. (He didn’t, but along the way he obtained the fact that people used arrows way too often for tattoos).

It wasn’t until his phone lit up with a notification that Wonwoo realized he’d been sitting in front of his computer, left hand death-gripping the wooden shaft of the arrow, right hand fiddling with the trackpad for at least an hour and a half. Exhausted, his eyes did an automatic scan of who the sender was.

gyu > wonwoo hyung!!!!! > jisoo hyung wanted me to transfr some info for u

me > you’re w/ jisoo hyung right now?

gyu > we went to the coffee shopp togther after we left hq > and then i wennt to his house bc i accidentally spilt coffee on him > oops

me > … > what does jisoo hyung want

gyu > idk > he said something about herogliphs??? > and the arrow that u guys showed me > ??? im hoping u understnd him

Wonwoo’s eyes immediately flitted towards the arrow. Hieroglyphs…. Of course!

me > they’re called hieroglyphs

gyu > so you do understand!!! > okok my job is odne > gn hyung!!!!! sleep well :D

me > gn

Wonwoo now understood why the symbols had seemed so familiar. Hieroglyphs. He hadn’t delved very deep into the subject before - as he was more into science and math as opposed to ancient culture and mythology - but he had definitely stumbled upon the term more than once. He didn’t know much, but what he was aware of that it seemed to be an Ancient Egyptian form of communication. Similar to Korean, it used symbols and characters for certain sounds.

He frowned. But why would NCT deal with Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs? And did they actually take the time to learn the meaning behind the symbols, or were they completely bluffing? (Knowing NCT, they were definitely the kind of people who could pull that off).

Wonwoo sighed. Glancing over at his clock, he was greeted by the numbers 12:32 in big, red block lettering. Reflecting on the fact that he had school the next day, he decided to call it a night.

~~~

As a temporary replacement for their blown-up building, the entire school had transferred to a different school’s building. It was a newer school that had just opened a few weeks ago so no one was really there yet, letting Wonwoo’s school have plenty of space to conduct their classes.

“Has anyone heard of the Ancient Egyptian communication technique referred to as hieroglyphs?”

Up until this point in his history class, Wonwoo hadn’t really paid attention to what his teacher had been saying. But that sentence definitely caught his attention. Immediately sitting up straight, he raised his hand, and was surprised to find that only a handful of the students in the classroom were doing the same. This is an Advanced Placement class, for goodness sake. How can you have not heard about hieroglyphs?

“Interesting. Well, hieroglyphs are essentially the Ancient Egyptian language, expressed in symbols.” The teacher stuck a picture of an bird on the board. “Much like our Korean culture, each symbol represents a sound. This hieroglyph, for example, produces the sound of ‘a’.” She continued sticking up pictures. “Keep adding more hieroglyphs, and you get a word. The word I’ve spelled out is arbitrary, an English word for random.”

There were some sniggers upon hearing the definition of the chosen word. Wonwoo, on the other hand, found this all somewhat intriguing - he would have to look into the topic later on.

“There are a few hieroglyphs that are just words. You don’t need to combine smaller fragments.” Posting another picture, she said, “This is the word ankh -” She wrote this on the board in English letters for better understanding “- and it’s commonly perceived as the Ancient Egyptian symbol for life.”

Wonwoo’s eyes hyperfocused. That symbol...  wasn’t it one of the hieroglyphs decorating the arrow?

He had brought the arrow with him to school today (he wasn’t sure if that was the best idea, considering it was a pretty lethal weapon), and his hand itched to reach into his bag and pull it out. But pulling out an arrow in the middle of class was not the best choice.

The symbol for life. Wonwoo never thought that NCT could be this deep. He’d have to tell Jisoo later.

~~~ (why are the page breaks happening so often this is such a pet peeve of mine loiwendlks)

Lunch. One of Jeonghan’s favourite times of the day. Apart from sleeping, of course. Sleeping is always a priority.

Sitting at their usual table, chatting with his friend Taehyung, Jeonghan was surprised to see Wonwoo beelining for their table out of the corner of his eye. As he got closer, he realized that Wonwoo seemed to be headed for Jisoo. Not his problem then. He continued talking with Taehyung.

He didn’t think it would be anything too concerning. He certainly hoped it wasn’t. If there was something that Jeonghan hated the most, it would be having to deal with his superhero persona during school hours. He wasn’t quite sure why - it just bothered him, having to mix his secret identity with his social life while maintaining equal balance on both sides.

So it definitely irked him when he noticed Jisoo walk hurriedly out of the lunchroom with Wonwoo. What happened this time?

He glanced over at Seungcheol, who hadn’t seemed to notice. Slightly panicking now, Jeonghan nearly dropped his sandwich (Taehyung snickered at this, earning a glare from Jeonghan).  

“Can you…” Jeonghan hesitated, unsure of how to propose a proper statement for a quick departure. “Um… hold on. I need to go to the washroom.”

“Now? You just -”

“I drank a lot of water, okay? Fluids.” With a final cheesy thumbs-up, Jeonghan quickly slipped out of the cafeteria, at the same time muttering to himself, ‘Fluids? What the hell was I thinking?’

He also hadn’t planned this out very well in his head because when he finally was aware of where he was he glanced around to find no sign of Jisoo or Wonwoo. The hallway also went both ways horizontally, taking a turn in different directions at the end of the corridor, leaving Jeonghan incredibly stressed - should he turn the wrong way, he would be heading in exactly the opposite direction that his friends had gone.

He supposed he could’ve just gone to the washroom and went back into the cafeteria, but he didn’t bluff his way through Taehyung’s suspicions for nothing. Jeonghan was going to find his friends. He just had to hope that they didn’t leave for the stupidest purpose.

Or maybe…

Jeonghan shuddered. This would be one of the stupidest ideas he ever made.

As superheroes, identity was a crucial thing. To this day, Jeonghan remembered the chills that ran down his spine when Pledis was laying down the regulations: Number one - Keep your identity a secret, no matter what. (Being the rebel he was, Jeonghan had then chosen his given name as his alias - in the process, dragging Wonwoo, Mingyu and Seungkwan with him. Pledis would’ve forced them to change but by then they’d already signed the contract, so they couldn’t exactly do anything).

So at one point, they had wondered what would happen if they used their powers in everyday life - subtly, of course.

After experimentation, they discovered that their powers were only at full boost if they had their suits on. Appearing as a normal civilian, Wonwoo had estimated that their powers were only an eighth of their full capability - roughly enough to not look completely insane.

Smiling slightly to himself, Jeonghan inspected his hands before dodging into a secluded corner by the lockers in the hallway, followed by a brilliant ribbon of light hovering around his hands as he was rewarded with a device falling in his hands - an LG G5 [a/n: there are so many kpop idols promoting this I had to].

He frowned at this. His mind had imagined a rose-gold iPhone 6 and he was surprised of the result, although he assumed this was what he got for using his powers when he wasn’t supposed to. Whatever, it would do.

All he really needed to do was track the location of his friends. He could’ve done it with his own phone, but that wouldn’t be fun, would it?

In other words, Jeonghan was already planning an elaborate hidden camera in his head.

He apparently was not aware of how bad of an idea that would be.

~~~

“Well you fucked up.”

“I didn’t mean to knock him unconscious! What did you expect me to do? First he sends us creepy messages from an unknown number and then tells us to turn around! Wonwoo and I just did what we thought was the best plan for self-defense!”

Blinking to adjust his eyes to the blinding light, Jeonghan realized that he was in the school nursery, and surrounded by half of the team.

“HE’S AWAKE! Oh thank God,” Jisoo said. Turning to Jeonghan, voice slightly guilty, he added, “I’m sorry about… um… punching you, although truthfully you pretty much asked for it considering what you did.”

Jeonghan hesitated as he tried to remember what had happened up until that point. The hidden camera… and then making Wonwoo and Jisoo turn around, only to be greeted by Jisoo’s fist. He guessed that explained the subtle ache in his nose. “Oh. Sorry about that,” he chuckled.

Wonwoo awkwardly stepped in. “Oh, and one more thing before I head to class - can you… not mention this to Seungcheol hyung? He’d kill us otherwise.”

Jeonghan raised an eyebrow. “I guess. Although if he asks about any bruises, you guys are the ones coming up with a solution.”

Jisoo scoffed. “We already had to when we brought you here.”

“Okay, bye hyung!” Wonwoo then departed with Jihoon, Soonyoung and Jun, leaving Jisoo and Jeonghan alone (Jisoo had study period currently, so he wasn’t particularly worried about going anywhere).

“Why’d you follow us anyway?” Jisoo asked. “Wonwoo and I purposely went all the way to the far boot room just in case someone would find us.”

Jeonghan shrugged. “When Wonwoo came to get you, he seemed so nervous, so I just assumed something was up. Seungcheol didn’t notice so I went - keep in mind, after rudely  dismissing Taehyung.”

Jisoo grinned. “Sorry about that, then. Wonwoo was only nervous about being discovered by anyone else but overall there’s good news - he deciphered one of the hieroglyphs on the arrow.”

Jeonghan frowned. “Hieroglyphs? Were those the symbols on the arrow?”

Jisoo nodded. “And one of them is the symbol for life. Considering how out of place it is from the other ones, Wonwoo’s guess is that it’s some kind of watermark, whereas the other hieroglyphs are some kind of message. We’re going to have to have a session just to figure out what the message is though.”

Knitting his eyebrows, Jeonghan said, “You guys have to be careful, okay? I don’t know much about Ancient Egyptian mythology, but I do know that hieroglyphs are commonly used for spells and whatnot, so just… be wary.”

Jisoo smiled. “Of course.”

[unrealitea]

I wasn't able to follow the writing schedule I made for myself because I went to Japan. And that actually isn't a good excuse, because I'd known about the trip for at least six months now. I, however, did not take into consideration how much preparation and coordination I'd need to do beforehand, since my (deeply beloved) travel buddies are EVEN. MORE. FICKLE. THAN I.

I do plan on updating soon and finishing my self-challenge once and for all, but before that, I wanted to jot the details of one part of my trip, because I don't think we'll get video of it, sadly. So, the thing is, I'd never seen Arashi or Sexy Zone live before - I've only seen V6, and only once. My mind was blown, of course, but my thinking going into it had been that it would be one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. (I somehow skipped over HSJ when I developed affection for all these volleyball support groups. Sucks because I’m closer to their age range than the other groups, lol.)

My trip this time around was sorely lacking V6 - I spotted Okada a bunch of times on the subway/TV, but Inocchi is my fave and I never saw him once :| But! I am infinitely consoled by the fact that I got to catch Waku Waku Gakkou in Tokyo Dome <3 Caution: disjointed bullet points ahead.

7/9/17, 17:00

* Kento overexerting on the race and hurting his Sexy Zone, not to mention destroying the track quite a bit in the process. After his dramatic finish, Fuma wouldn't stop pointing out how ridiculous his shinme is because that’s what you do when you’re Fuma * Nino consistently picking on Aiba at every turn - like, their friendship is my favorite, but even I thought 'dial it down a notch' (except that's a lie because I would never think that) But for real, NinoAi is audibly popular with the Japanese fans. Every time they had any interaction, the place went wild

* Sho's lovestruck pose when Aiba did some fanservice-y cutesy action, while in the middle of demonstrating the cycle of digestion and subsequent expelling * Kento getting beaten up by Yoshida Saori (!!!) after getting turned into poop... Wish fulfillment from Arashi?? JK Nino seems to genuinely like Kento. He laughs OTT hard every single time Kento busted out some permutation of "sexy" + anything, thanked him sincerely at the end of their bit, and even patted his chair whenever he passed by him. They were my favorite pair - it isn't often I see Nino's big bro side / Kento's little bro side. Bonus: they were in charge of my personal favorite topic (poop is important and totally natural, guys!) * Using a jazzy version of Leann Rimes' How Do I Live as they do a striptease-type dance for Yoshida Saori (!!!) Just. Marius doing a striptease-y dance. For that matter, Ohno and Nino doing it. If it weren’t so hilarious I’d be scarred for life

* Matsumiya’s biological make-up being so similar that Matsumiya > actual brothers. And Yama-pair also syncing up to some extent. But this all means that those two ships are basically incestuous. So Aiba's happy to conclude that he's compatible with everyone "if he were a girl" * Double Sho[ri]! Opportunist Sho using his (and Shori's) initials to promote 24H with [K]oyama [K]eiichiro and [K]amenashi [K]azuya * How weird is it to see Shori next to Sho and remember that Shori isn't actually tiny (lengthwise) anymore? SZ were pretty much all taller than their Arashi counterparts, except for Jun and Sou which you just know had to be a deliberate move on Matsujun’s part (”Sou’s the one who gets nervous the most” pffft)

* The two reds only seem to have chemistry with the greens of their respective groups, haha. I’m exaggerating, obvs. It's not as if they weren't interacting or anything, but Sho mostly used Shori as a glorified barbie doll in their section. I think Shori had the bittiest part in the whole thing. It did make me laugh that Shori's Adams apple is more visible than Ohno's, lol * The Aiba-Fuma pair made more sense that I initially thought. Technically they were paired to be their respective groups' Sporty Spice, but they're also both popular (in a friend context) because they can get along with pretty much anyone. Plus, they aren’t as on-the-nose similar as an Aiba-Sou pair would have been. I liked that they seemed very natural together, and they shared responsibilities / divided their segment nicely * I loved that one sport where they show people in North America competitively picking things up while sitting/kneeling on a chair or that one with English folks hitting each other's padded knees while hugging. But I wish I took notes here, because they showed how these kids were able to run faster by doing a few specific exercises for a couple of weeks * Fuma's hilarious inability to skip - dude looked like he was hurting himself. Sho called him out on his “regular” skipping, which is suspect because I doubt Sho would've done any better. Can't we have the Keio men do a skip-off next time? * Sou was surprisingly good at princess-carrying Shori through the track. Sorry I doubted you, Sou. Haha I can’t help it, he's so little and he failed a bit of a lot in the sporty SekuChan episodes, so his prowess in that wife game surprised me as much as it surprised Arashi. Aiba also rocked carrying Nino like an upside-down full-body knapsack (or like tuna, iirc?) - left Fuma in the dust in the beginning, in fact - but then failed at handing him off to Sho oop it was Ohno. Ohno was the cutest little thing heigh-hoing forward to the best of his ability. Although Parental!FumaKen encouraging Mari (in sync, of course) all the way to the finish line might have been just as cute, maaaaaybe * No, but Sou was the absolute cutest when he was encouraging Sho on that elevating platform. He actually looked like he was praying to him :)) In return for his lovely kouhai support, he got bullied in the end and dragged into the foam pit with Sho. He got Sho's fans' sympathy, at least. Kento got some sympathy earlier, too - the girls behind me were all ~poor guy~ when he was dressed as literal shit, though he was clearly hamming it up and enjoying every second, lol * Speaking of FumaKen. Fuma cozying up to Kento during the few times they stood next to each other / when no one was looking (ex. when they got out of their seats to watch Sho try not to shit his pants while playing a recorder - totally romantic moment btw). Shippers gonna ship, sorry not sorry * The girls behind me calling MJ a devil when he was torturing Sho on that platform. Honestly, the fans were far more sadistic :D * The Waku Waku routine for managing your nerves, as demonstrated by Sou: jump jump (substitute with shoulder nudge X2 if the situation calls for it), breathe deeply, look straight ahead, and Arashi! Arashi! for dream (you can do this with either the open palm or pointer finger for discretion... Sho improvised it once with the Sexy Zone pointing choreo - how's that for group shuffling?)

* Marius never letting Arashi forget how old they are. The fans around me laughed at Ohno looking like Mari's grandpa, which of course they found to be adorable. Visually, Ohno-Marius has to be my favorite pair hands down, lmao * Of course Marius can cry on cue watching Titanic. Of course. * At the end of it, Fuma had some wise words to share about Arashi-niisan pushing them up from behind vs. pulling them up from the top, and earning that applause - that's our (other) Keio boy * They sang Furusato (qt) and we got to wave to them! Well, only half of them in my case, since the other cart didn't make it to my section... lol but I got to see Aiba, Sho, MJ, Kento, and Marius up close, at least <3

And now that I’ve properly reminisced... what do we have to do for a DVD release???

QUESTIONS

What is your special talent/skill as a roleplayer?

uh.,,, I have the ability to write excessively drawn out headcanons about Ivan to the point where I get out of control and completely burn out, does that count for anything

What is your favourite type of roleplay genre, and why?

oh man oh man I REALLY love historical roleplay ugh punch me in the fucking face I love historical roleplay so much. the only reason I don’t do it as much as I’d like to is because my inspiration waxes and wanes a lot and my muse has a tendency to be uncooperative. also there’s been sort of a backlash against historical roleplay that I’ve noticed and it makes me p sad because?? it’s such an interactive way to learn about history and that resonates with me idk, as long as the topic isn’t insensitive and is handled with care I don’t see a problem

Why did you pick your muse?

it kind of happened by luck tbh?? I used to rp on FB a long long time ago and I had a couple friends back then, and one was like ‘oh you really like APH Rus.sia you should rp him’ so then I did and that’s the moment my life spun out of control. Ivan has developed a lot since then so I don’t consider him to be the same muse or really even canon APH Rus.sia save for appearance and name, but I don’t regret picking him and I love my shitty son he’s v important to me <3

if you could write any other muse - but know you don’t have the muse for him/her - who would it be?

there’s a couple?? I always adored APH South Ko.rea and I did a little bit of rping as Yong Soo waaaay back in the day, but I ended up focusing on Ivan in the end and that’s where my energy went tbh. if I didn’t have so many great friends who rp APH Amer.ica beautifully already I’d probably try that a bit but ngl I think I’d get too far into satire territory anyways lmao

What is one thing you think you need to work on as a partner?

oh jeez.,, I’m really bad about dropping threads I’m so sorry @ anyone who has ever rped with me my muse is so spotty and uncooperative like 99% of the time it’s really hard to get him to come out if he doesn’t feel like it, and a lot of the time on tumblr he’s less than eager to come out? I do most of my rping off of tumblr in IMs and stuff and ngl he tends to come out easier there but I’m just so sorry to anyone who I’ve ever rped with on tumblr it’s not you it’s my spotty muse ;;;;;

What would be your warning label to other roleplayers?

I’m shy at first but don’t become friends with me I talk too much and rant about miscellaneous and irrelevant things that nobody gives a shit about because I have too much to say I’m sorry

What is your favourite episode/scene of your muse?

well like I said I don’t really consider Ivan exactly as APH Rus.sia at this point but I never got over that strip where he goes to that meeting late and he’s like ‘oh I had to stop a tank with my own body’ and everyone just like. accepts it. jesus

What crack!ships do you have for your muse?

I’ve always liked RusTurk and RusGer but I’m singleship so OOPS

What is your senpai blog?

one day I will be able to word and aesthetic like toma but by the time I get there toma will have already become even greater someone stop him he’s out of control
