Some silly headcanons about the Obey Me brothers
• Mammon will ALWAYS go for you after school/work. One day after a long day of hard work, you were going normally like every day you left the building to go home and you noticed a lot of people surrounding what seemed to be a luxurious car, "whatever" you thought, but before continuing With your way you heard how a well-known voice yelled at you "Oi human! Get in! We're goin for some shoppin spree at Gucci now!" and there you understood that the person in the luxurious car was your favorite demon... what a shame to draw attention like that, hmph.
• Lucifer sometimes will take you out shopping just for you to flex him on your social media, he's really proud of himself when it comes to being your (sugar daddy lol) economic whims supporter. "Yes, my darling. You can take a photo of us with these... weird looking teas?, whatever makes you happy".
• Beel loves, he really ADORES when you both bake something together, not just because he loves to eat but also because you always try to make him not to eat the ingredients, and he intentionally teases you with that just to see your "angry" face. "Beel, drop that spoon. Now... No, Beel, don't touch the chocolate... Beel, no, Beel, BEELZEBUB!!!" "Hahaha, sorry, sorry. It just tastes really good".
• Levi is a hardcore otaku and we all know that, but he's also a really big fan of K-Pop, in fact, he loves K-Pop as much as Zaramela's music, so he could (and will) force you to learn a lot of the choreographies. "Okay! So this one goes like: pose, hands, move, move, pose and "anti-ti-ti-ti-fragile fragile ×2... Got it??" "Uhhh".
• Shopping and sleepover with Asmo is something nice and fun but partying???? He's the best! He will always invite you to party at the weekend and when you say yes he's the happiest demon in the Devildom. "We're gonna match outfits together! I want you to be the prettiest, after me, so when my succubies meet you they fall for you!" and since he's well known the DJ always plays the music he wants, so if you want to dance to any specific song he will make play that for you, "Slaaay queen! Look at your moves!".
• Themes cafe dates are a must when you go out with Satan, he just adores visiting every cute themed cafe in the city, Alice in Wonderland themed cafe? check, baroque themed cafe? check, anime themed cafe??? also check, CAT THEMED CAFE? ABSOLUTELY CHECK! "There's a new alpaca themed cafe on the west side of the city, we're going today" "But I haven't said yes yet..." "I don't care, I made reservations" "Oh".
• Belphie nap dates are boring sometimes, so he decides to take them to another level. Camping dates with Belphie (even if it's in the backyard of the house) where you both can see the stars, eat s'mores (ft Beel) and fall asleep together because it gets cold at midnight. "That one, there, is not a star" "No??" "No, that's Mercury" "Ohh... I heard that Mercury is retrograde now" "... What does that even mean?".

How I became a Byler
It wasn't fate, it wasn't destiny, it was just simple dumb luck! 😜 
Get some water guys, this is long.
Tumblr media
When Stranger Things first came out in 2016, my older brother was the only one who had a Netflix subscription at the time (I have one since 2 years ago) and I remember he said to my whole family (except my Dad who usually gets home late for work) that we had to watch this show that was super popular with Wynona Ryder, and that everyone loves it.
Now, of course we all knew who Wynona was! Even my Mom, who never remembers the name of actors or singers recognized her, lol. So we were like "Yeah, let's watch it!"
And we were all so impressed and flabbergasted by the show. My mom loved the cast and her favorite kid is Dustin cause she said he looked like such a naughty kid, haha. I absolutely loved it as well and I wanted to know more about Will, who seemed like such a lovely boy.
After that, I watched each season everytime it was released but I was not a hardcore fan at all. I didn't ship anybody, didn't analyze things, I just purely enjoyed it, found it very entertaining and thought that it was very well done.
When S3 came out and EP3 happened with the rain fight, I was like "Oh, are they gonna-? Nah, I don't think so... Will they? OMG" with displaying Will's sexuality. At the time it didn't occur to me that Will was struggling with his friend's exclusion and his sexuality at the same time (I know, dumb me). So I was like "I mean, he could be a late bloomer, I didn't get interested in boys until I was like 14" but now that I'm recalling middle school, I had crushes on different guys, lol. My mind was in denial because I just thought that Will being gay wouldn't be shown properly or in a sensible and serious way.
Then, when that first ST4 teaser ("With love, from Russia") dropped with Hopper in the snow, everyone and their mothers freaked out and the worldwide Stranger Things frenzy began all over again. I also remember that I saw some news online that said that ALL productions were suspended for Covid and that included ST or course. Me and my brothers were kinda mad because everyone knew ST was gonna be released like in 2 years or something, waaay later than it was supposed to.
Then, like a month and so before Volume 1 premiered, I don't recall how, but I watched the rest of the ST4 teasers (002, 003 and 004 with the Hawkings gang, the Hawkins Lab and the Cali one) and I got so excited! I started to watch a lot of the cast press interviews, videos and content, then I rewatched ST again, and was so surprised to realize, all over again, that it's such a great show and the cast is amazing. But my Byler senses were still dormant. The idea of Mike and Will romantically never crossed my mind (again, sorry for my ignorance).
Which is weird because I'm good at clocking queer characters.
Like, back in college, we had to watch a movie about this family who pretended to be someone else everytime they moved; they were imposters in a way. Thanks to the camera angles, the fact that he seemed uninterested in any girls and micro-expressions from the actor, I said to this girl next to me in class "He's gay" regarding the son in the family, and she was like "What? How do you know?" and I just told her to keep watching. Indeed, towards the middle of the movie, the guy (the son in the family, who was a teenager) went to this party; he started talking with this guy and they got in a car I think? Or was it outside the house the party was at? Can't recall. Anyways, the guy got closer to his school colleague and tried to kiss him, but the other guy flinched and said "I'm sorry, I don't feel that way" or something like that, he left, and the girl next to me was like "You were right!"
I've always been very open-minded, but I think I was used to watch media where queer characters where displayed as queer or in love with their friends in their late teens, so Byler was not something I ever considered.
After rewatching all the seasons, ST4 Vol 1 premiered on May 27th and boy, was I excited! Before that, I watched the first trailer, Sadie on Fallon, Millie on Fallon, the cast interviews on the ST4 premiere days ago and I knew that they were going to move forward with Will being in love with Mike thanks to that cut on the trailer when Mike and El are skating and Will stares at their hands. So I was like "Oh, what are they gonna do with Will?"
I was free from work on that Friday (it was not planned at all and I did absolutely nothing on that day, woohoo!). I started watching ST4 around 10AM in the morning in my living's room TV.
Now, I was incredibly hooked since the intro (I knew right away that El didn't murder those kids because the way their bones and limbs were broken didn't align with how El has attacked people before), got very interested after El said that Will was painting a lot and that maybe it was for a girl, clocked what was gonna happen later in the season with the basketball game and Eddie's campaign (Mike saying that they thought Vecna was killed by Kas, Eddie declaring that Vecna lives, the 11 that Dustin threw and it wasn't enough to win) as well as who actually massacred those kids in the Lab back in 1979 after Chrissy was taken by Vecna.
I found Mike so weird and odd in EP2 but I didn't know what it was; his outfit was horrendous and after EP3, I said to myself "Hold on, Will is in love with Mike in the same season when Mike can't say I love you to El's face? That's no coincidence" and kept on watching.
I knew Peter was Vecna immediately since he appeared on EP5 because there was not another new character that fit the vibe but I didn't know he was Henry Creel or 001, lol. Him being 001 was there for us to notice but I didn't, for some reason, haha.
I stopped watching on EP5 I think, in the afternoon. Did some stuff and then picked it up at 9PM.
After the master reveal and plot in EP7, I went to Twitter and started to check people's opinions or takes for this season, then I saw a tweet that linked Kaypeace21's "Why I no longer think Mike is bi, but gay" post, saying that Will loved Mike and Mike reciprocated, and I was like "WHATT?! OMG! This looks promising" and read the whole thing.
When I tell you that I felt like I had an epiphany it's downplaying things (not an exaggeration). It felt exactly the same as when I watched Maze Runner's "The Death Cure" on theaters and Newt threw Thomas against the wall in the middle of the film after screaming at him and I felt such an insurmountable amount of tension between those two characters that I started to read Newtmas fanfiction when I got home.
Everything on Kaypeace21's post seemed very well thought, it made sense and after that I read more Byler theories as well as overall theories for the supernatural, Vecna and more. I got obsessed, became a proper fan of the show and the characters, and waited for Vol 2 to drop. Stranger Things actually replaced my Heartstopper fixation.
The show was more popular than ever, the hype was so real. Even my brothers, who haven't still watched Season 4, said that they read that The Duffers "forgot" Will's birthday and I was like "yeah, I don't really believe them" because I actually do not believe anything that comes out of The Duffers or Shawn Levy's mouths until I see it with my own eyes, lol.
Anyways, when Vol 2 premiered, I woke up at 4AM on July 1st, I think, to watch it and when we got to Will saying "Can I show you something?" to Mike, I actually paused my laptop, took a deep breath and started pacing in my room, haha. I was like "Sh*t, so early on the episode?" because I felt I was gonna have a heart attack. I was flabbergasted, shocked and a bit sad after the van scene, but found it so beautifully heartbreaking.
Now, I'm very objective and being the Libra that I am (not that I believe that much in Astrology, but there is a degree of certainty to it), I always see all sides of things and I do not consume media in a subjective way only. When Mike "confessed" to El on Surfer's Boy Pizza, I stood very quiet and watched the whole thing, but felt nothing, because it came across as very clichéd, lies were spouted by Mike and the whole situation happened in the middle of Max getting killed by Vecna and everyone was at the brink of death. It felt like an empty moment.
Then, towards the end of Vol 2, I was like "Well, Mike and Will seemed closer than ever at least".
I checked Tumblr and everyone was losing their minds. Me as well, but in a more subdued way. Then, the Byler hope was restored pretty much like Aang restored peace in Book 3 of The Last Airbender, I saved so many Byler blogs on my browser, visited them everyday, liked all their posts, learned more and more about the show, read even more theories about many things and a few weeks ago created a Tumblr specifically to indulge on my Byler hyper-fixation and here I am.
Byler Tumblr has made me more aware of symbolisms, plot devices and how to digest media more acutely. Thank you guys so so much.
Love that for me!

thank u for the tag @clayvedevs :333
a little get to know me tag game!
1. Do you make your bed?

3. What's your job?
never had one hashtag disabled
4. If you could go back to school, would you?
i never finished high school and i have thought about trying (for the like fourth time) to get a hsc (high school certificate, there r ways to get an equivalent qualification for mature age students) but idk. im at TAFE for fashion/costume and i dont really need an hsc for that. i have thought about eventually going to uni for maths though, and i would definitely have to take an entrance exam for that since i dont have an hsc. i do qualify for loads of exceptions though so its not all losses (yay disability?)
5. Can you parallel park?
never tried (have driven a total of 8 hours)
6. Do you think aliens are real?
in some form, yeah
7. Can you drive a manual car?
see q5 (no)
8. Guilty pleasure?
hmm... i believe cringe is dead and i also do/interact with surprisingly little.. i guess maybe like blind boxes? i dont get them often but theyre so expensive so i do feel guilty every time i see a kirby one and cant resist.
9. Tattoos?
nay, although now that all my friends are getting them i have been thinking about it. its not like. really on the cards bc i cant make decisions for the life of me but if i could id be so basic and get an ouroboros. and probably a guinea pig.
10. Favourite colour?

13. Any phobias?
hmm well ive got social anxiety disorder but other than that i dont think so?
14. Favourite childhood sport?
i deliberately was on every sports team in primary school at least once (except cricket lol) bc i actually did enjoy sports, but the aforementioned anxiety disorder made actually pursuing that difficult. i also did dance, gymnastics, acrobatics and trampolining at some point during childhood. i do miss acro, that was the last extracurricular i did before i got mucho depressed and my life basically stopped circa 2016. the only sport ive ever followed as a fan is tennis!

17. First thing you wanted to be when growing up?
i was a veritable horse girl from a VERY young age so probably something related to horses?? like a showjumper maybe.
18. What movies do you adore?
love a good (or laughably bad) horror movie. a cure for wellness, orphan, killing of a sacred deer r all movies gave 5 stars. also love a good children's animated movie! unironically a big fan of the secret life of pets movies, ferdinand, that sort of thing. g-force remains the best movie of all time.
i am tagging: @soronya @tennis-kittens @nick-cassidy @shapovalovvs :33

When did you begin playing Resident Evil?
Why is Leon your favourite?
Top 5 favourote RE and/or Leon facts?
Do you have any headcanons?
It’s kinda long, sorry lol but thanks for reading if you do!
1. An older brother of mine showed me a video of a comedian at a gaming convention and the whole joke was how cartoony kingdom hearts was compared to how hardcore resident evil 4 was.(it was a different time for sure) so I was fascinated with how hard this game seemed.
One day I went to a swap meet with my dad and this man selling used video games had a copy of RE4. At the time I was too nervous to ask to get it since my dad was… not the kindest to put it lightly. Anyways I saved up the money, I begged my dad to go back to the swap meet to get the game, and luckily it was still there.
2. I had gone into RE4 hearing how cool Leon was.(like I said it was a different time, a lot of people on tumblr think he’s cute but back then he was Chad McGee, I still think he is but whatever that’s just me, don’t think I’ll judge anyone for how they see him)It was probably the hardest game I had ever tackled at the time so having gone through everything the game throws at you blew me away. Like, I’d never seen a man jump like 10ft out of a mining cart and climb to safety. I was so blown away in fact I had shown a friend of mine that one scene in particular like it was Jesus walking on water lol
Leon had such cool lines and his look was pretty cool too(as a kid of course I was “discovering” myself and my tastes). Y’know as a kid you see someone you admire a lot and you want to be just like them and him and the game as a whole was an escape from my pretty bleak childhood. If Leon could get through all that and still win and look that cool while doing it I wanted to be as cool as him. I wanted to look like him too, I discovered I was trans without knowing what that was until a friend told me about transitioning years later.
Right afterwards, because I couldn’t get enough of this guy I found out he was in RE2, so I bought that for the psp. Idk about you, but if I had to go through that shit, that licker would have killed me at the beginning.(which it did, a lot lol) I was fascinated with the game and I would start new games just to run around as Leon shooting stuff. It’s why I believe he’s so cool myself. You don’t get RE4 cool Leon without being already a bit cool.
Also a random addition, I think he’s really kind and caring.
In conclusion, he was my childhood hero.
3. I think it’s pretty cool he graduated top of his class and had extraordinary marksmen skills.
Something about him wanting to solve the disappearances in RC tells me he has an observant and critical mind.(which is why I don’t get why people call him dumb? Or maybe I’m just “old” now and don’t “get the joke”)
The “John Wick” thing Leon does is called the Center Axis Relock(CAR) and the cool swish swoosh stuff he does with Krauser is called Kali. We know he knew kali in OG 4 but with the addition of CAR in 4 remake we can assume he learned that back then as well.(which I’m happy about for preferential reasons)
Leon knows several different Martial arts styles. I don’t know the names but I used to watch martial arts movies a lot when I was younger.
From what I remember reading, his outfit in RE2 is a combination of different parts of varying types of police clothing (winter, summer, etc). Which makes sense since he’s trying to cover himself up as much as possible to avoid bites and grabs.
4. I think he’s a coffee guy.
He’s clearly a meat guy. If I saw a rotting cow carcass and thought of cooked juicy meat, I mean lol to add to that I always imagined he’s a decent cook.
I’d like to think he gets his hands on Matilda and then continuously gets it taken away in some form or another. Poor guy can’t even keep his favourite gun.
Maybe at first it was a new thing to him, but I feel he developed a taste for working out.
Not that he doesn’t like other genres, but if he’s a rock fan he has to like classic rock as well. It just makes sense.
I think he’d actually be pretty good with social media,memes, jokes, and etc.
Not that it’s his whole world, but he gives the impression he cares about fashion/his look to some degree.
I think he likes a fun lighthearted challenge just going off of his lines after completing merchant tasks and if he actually canonically stops by the shooting range.
I’m not sure how to word this one, but he seems nervous about rides and such if they’re out of his control. On the minecart and castle seat shortcut he either audibly shows distaste or uncertainty at the experience the ride will give. But on the jet ski he gives a cool reassuring line with no hesitation.
That being said, I do not think he’s bad at driving, steering, etc. but I’d rather not say anything more than that.

So I asked awhile ago when I said I was going back to watch every memories DVD they have released so far, if you would be interested in commentary from me as I did so. There were a lot of people who said yes, so here we are! I have officially watched BTS Memories of 2014. Here are my thoughts as I went. There were only 3 DVDs in this one and it was overall, much shorter (makes sense, it was 2014). Reminder that these aren't going to be smoothly written out thoughts. You get these like I'm live reacting, texting my bestie or live tweeting. Lol it'll be in like bullet point format sort of, just... a commentary post as I go. Lol Hope you enjoy anyway! Let's go! This is sooo long. Sorry in advance...
Disc 1:
BTS 1st Muster FanMeeting:
The first video starts off with a recording of their first ever Muster held in March 29, 2014! They really were hardcore with that bulletproof theme back then. Lol All the green laser lights, the opening stage looks like a spy movie, with a green grid car breakdown and a countdown to when BTS is on the stage, a robot lady voice announcing them and all their rookie group awards they got 🥺 they were soooo young too. So young!! The VCRs in between sets were amazing to watch.
Track list:
NO
No More Dream
We Are Bulletproof pt. 2
Just One Day
If I Ruled the World
Jump
Paldogangsan
Attack on Bangtan
Boy in Luv

They are SUCH performers. So good. They truly know how to command a stage. Even only a year into their career. They are amazing. I wish honestly that there was a little bit less on the intense red lighting for the first 2 songs because it's sometimes hard to Clearly see their faces, but it does look super cool.
Everyone in long sleeves, Jimin in no sleeves. Because of course. Lol and boy did that camera man zoom in during that No More Dream shirt lift 🤣🤣 he wanted to make sure we didn't miss it I guess. The 3J dance break at the end of WAB2 live will always be one of my favorite things to see ever. Hobi can rock fingerless gloves like literally no one else I have ever seen.
I'll also mention that JK maybe didn't have his mic close enough or something happened where we couldn't really hear his line of "Okay mom, I'll go to the library now" in No More Dream and Jimin missed an "ooh" in WAB... and I'll just say that it's sooo obvious that their mics are ON and they are otherwise flawless. No backing track covering what their mics didn't pick up. They are so cool, have been from the start!
Yoonmin aggressively shouting with the crowd during their mentions and Jungkook going "I think this is the most anticipated and exciting moment since my debut" just melt my heart please!!! They were all sooo freaking happy to be there and to have so many fans show up to see them. Hobi explained muster means to muster up courage or to draft soldiers so it has a special meaning because they can draft ARMY up and get together anytime now 🥺
They showed a tough guy prank camera on the screen. Lmfao thr producers called them in for a fake personality test just to do a jump scare on them through the screen, like in horror movies. Everyone was just confused and totally unfazed... except for Jihope, lmfao who both screamed and almost fell out of their chairs 🤣
Palgodangsan and Attack on Bangtan are some of my favorites and are so fun. The background dancers joined them and were just partying on stage with them. I loved it.
Tumblr media
The ending mentions are KILLING ME. They are all so emotional. I lost it at Hobi speaking third, so did everyone else too. They are all crying and please. This is their dream. "I'll always want to be a a singer like a flower for you guys" Hobi please 😭😭 they all shared such extremely touching words.
Muster Making Film:
HopeKook pinching at each other and standing in the middle of the concert hall chairs and randomly dancing on stage. Tae running up and down the aisles of chairs, so freaking excited to do a wave with the crowd. Suga saying he has been to concert here and now gets to preform here. They were all so nervous.
Aww Yoongi and JK crashing into each other during rehearsals. Lol trying to get used to the new stage. And even after rehearsals were officially over, they all stayed and continued running through it on their own.
They were soooooo nervous and did soooo good! 🥺🥺
Jimin immediately started in on teasing Suga about crying on stage. The editors "everyone cried but already teasing the older members." RM telling us how much he sacrificed to get here and how grateful he is to ARMY. JK bowing to ARMY through the camera and saying how much he loves us. TaeJin getting emotional while giving their ending comments about loving ARMY and both of them kept looking over to Jimin while they spoke. He really does bring such comfort to his members. Jimin "I held my tears in well." Editors "no. We saw you wiping them away" lmfao let him breathe 😂 Hobi also looking over to Jimin while talking and both of them getting emotional all over again before Hobi wraps him up in an aggressive hug and half drags Jimin away. Lol Goodness, I love them all.
Tumblr media
Disc 2:
BTS Live Trilogy Ep. 2: The Red Bullet Concert:
The fact that Memories 2014 includes 2 whole ass concerts is AMAZING. Man, I want to own these all one day. For the DVDs of concerts alone would be enough lol. This was a concert from October 19, 2014. The third concert in their Red Bullet Tour, the 3rd day of their first tour stop in Korea.
Track list:
Opening
NO
We Are Bulletproof
We On
Hip Hop Phile
Let Me Know
Rain
Embarrassed (aka: Blanket Kick)
Look Here
Outro: Propose
No More Dream
Tomorrow
Miss Right
Like
Cypher Pt 3: Killer
Triptych + War Of Hormone
Danger
Boy in Luv
Roadpath
Jump
Attack on Bangtan
Paldogangsan
Man, they really went to town on the bad boy, school boys gone rogue themes for this concert. Opening up with a teacher informing the crowd of the concert rules, and then the VCR showing them not following class rules, getting scolded and then picking up their BTS bulletproof vests and following Suga out of the classroom. Lol love it.
Tumblr media
Jimin introducing himself with the "Ayo, who am i?" And the crowd screaming "Park Jimin" lmfaooo I see this and all I can think about is the rest of the guys reacting to that moment later and Jimin just DYING of embarrassment on the floor and the way they clown him about that constantly, always.
Look, no one, absolutely no one can wreck me as hard as rap line bias wrecks me when they go off on stage! We On and Hip Hop Phile are songs I listen to all the time. ALL THE TIME. And then they followed those up with Let Me Know and Rain which are legendary songs for Jimin vocally and just ARGH. I loved every second of that, thank you.
BTS stopping in the middle of the song during Look Here to play rock paper scissors to see who would do Aeygo is 100% a very BTS thing to do. And omg Outro: Propose was the vocal line just taking turns trying to make ARMY swoon and serenading/proposing to each other. TaeJin fighting over who proposes to JK, Jimin proposing to V who pretending to swoon for real. And just a bunch of smiles.
ARMY asking JK to speak informally and then Jihope melting into giggles and affection when he did, "listen girls." Also Jimin demonstrated a special move for Miss Right, and did a flip. And I swear, Hobi grabbed him the biggest hug. Hobi is Jimin's biggest hype man. Lol
Going from Like to the Cyphers is such a whiplash. My god. I love their intensity so much though and the way they hype the crowd and throw water. I LOVE rap line. My god. Tae growling and shouting through all his parts in War Of Hormone and Danger. Sir, calm down! I cannot!
Jin starting off their ending speeches and already making me emotional. "I love ARMY as much as I love my parents" "I want to cry, but I won't because I'm the eldest" Jin, please 😭 Suga talking about writing lyrics to Roadpath and his struggles and how grateful he is to ARMY. Tae, "I went through so much and almost didn't make it in the group, but I'm here now because of the members" Jimin, "yes, I went through so much trouble. Sigh" lmfao PLEASE! 😂 For real though, they all were so sweet and so emotional and wonderful. These ending speeches get me every time. And RM is the King of Speeches as usual, he even sang for everyone there too.
Tumblr media
Encore stages were legit popping. Omg. I loved watching this so much. I know I probably left way too many comments over it and yet at the same time, it wasn't enough!
The Red Bullet Concert Preparation:
Sope acting out a Horror movie waiting for their shooting time and then Hobi feeling himself in the bad boy fit and performing for the camera in a one man show and then hyping Suga up as Agust D. Hobi basically was doing skits with Maknae line and they were all very flirty the whole time he wasn't shooting. Also the difference in when they are on camera acting tough and off camera all giggles is so cute. Everyone else focused on set all sitting at their desks, and then vmin off in the own little world, heads together, giggling whenever they aren't filming. 😂
Taekook playing on the playground together outside during break and I swear JK was going to kill Tae on the spinning roundabout ride. Lmfao Tae is begging to stop and holding on for dear life, JK please! Lol then they both take a night vision camera to go exploring pitch black factory looking rooms together and trying to scare each other. Tae was scared and ready to leave like the whole time. They have so much fun together, it's cute!
NamKook tricking Jhope first and then Jimin into the dark room to look for a "missing" JK just to continually jump scare them is so mean 😂 lmfao they know who scares the most easy on this group.
"Jungkook likes to torture his senses, he is a very dangerous guy. For anyone dating Jungkook in the future, make sure to keep this in mind." Lmfao Namjoon, and JK just inhaling and enjoying the disinfectant smells, high on life at scaring his hyungs and the camera cuts to him trying to shine a flashlight through his mouth and eyes. Lol
Tumblr media
Jimin: "ARMY today let me introduce you to this kid I really adore. He is mentally unstable. He does things I don't really like." JK: *shines flashlight directly into Jimins eye* why Is this whole video just chaos? Lol
During practice. Hobi is giving a little intro and JK is just in the back somewhere shouting "Jiminie-hyung!" They all work so hard. I love seeing these dance practices and how much they work to make things perfect. It's incredible. Also "J-hope's dance is overjoyed even in practice" is such a J-hope sub for the editors to put in.
Directors come to interview JK. JK just takes the camera himself and goes to interview Jin. Lol Jin saying he is most looking forward to Outro: Propose during the concert because he wrote the second verse himself and its the first song with his own lyrics. 🥺 please, Jin it's amazing! "My team singing the song I wrote is really exciting for me" I'm so soft for him. He interviewed Tae next, who said he was most looking forward to seeing Rapline do Cypher. And Jimin is just standing behind him watching and playing with JKs hair the whole time. Vmin hyping up their b side tracks and how they only have good songs. Facts. And TaeKook being the biggest Cypher enthusiasts during that rehearsal is a MOOD.
The Red Bullet Concert Making Film:
I'm 10 minutes in and every other clip is Jihope being cute together. They have so much fun, I swear. It's so sweet. Tae getting to fill in for supreme Boi for the Cypher stage rehearsals. Lol he was so happy.
They were all sooo sooo nervous before performing. And they all handled those nerves in such different ways, but they killed it. And getting off stage and immediately collapsing but having giant smiles on their faces. They work SO HARD.
"I asked Jimin to give me a massage last night and this morning because my shoulders were so sore, so I'm okay now" Jhope telling us about how he overworked himself during day 1 of their concert so now he is very sore. And the way he was amazed and so grateful they sold out the tickets for all 3 days of their concert. So many cute Jihope clips here. Lol
Tumblr media
Love that we are getting behind footage of them getting ready for the concert all 3 days in a row for their shows in Korea. It's nice seeing them relax just a smidge, knowing they got this as each day progresses on. 2seok singing "My Last Concert" song together in the waiting room.
Tae giggling his butt off while interviewing and messing with Namjoon while they are getting ready. Omg they are so cute.
The ending mentions.... Namjoon was making me tear up. He was so happy, this was everything he wanted to do and he was doing it. Sharing his music and his passion with the world. Having his love given back to him while performing. And they are all soo hard on themselves too.
Global Fan Meeting Making Film:
(Germany, Sweden and Brazil)
Jimin saying he is a little stiff now that he is a little older as he practically bends himself in half stretching. Sir, please. I'm a little stiff now. Our definitions of stiff are obviously very different.
Some of these fan questions... lmao oof. Jin asked to act cute, Tae asked to do a sexy dance. Jungkook asked if he likes older women (his answer was yes lol) RM asked to do Jimin's highnotes (he did, and Jimin was dying laughing).
2 Sweden fans making into the memories film for fainting during the BTS show and being pulled from the crowd by security and having them be helped outside. Those poor fans!
Jimin on stage before everyone else to check their props to keep everyone safe and he found a chair that was wobbly and had it replaced so that the members wouldn't get hurt during the Just One Day performance 🥺🥺
Jungkook ending his video log of all the members by going "Jimin is having a meeting, Hey look at his butt" and zooming in while making some kind of mmmmm growling sound?! Lol okay JK.
Tumblr media
Hobi "ohhh look at Suga. They say women find a man attractive when he is taking off his shirt." Lmao OKAY Hobi.
BTS learning the Samba for their Brazilian fans. I love this so much.
These questions, again! Tae again asked for a sexy dance. Suga does the Samba. Jin asked to show how much he loves the maknae, so he picked him up bridal style lol. RM reenacting his emotions of landing in Brazil. Jimin expressing his happiness with his body. And they asked Jhope what he eats to be so handsome. Lol
BTS in Russia Self Cam:
Not even a minute in and hello there Jikook:
Tumblr media
SopeMin sitting together on the plane! So cute. Not them all teasing RM for forgetting his passport. Was this the first instance of this happening? Lol
Jihope sharing a room at the hotel, TaeJoon joining them and they were all talking about taking pictures of Russia and the white night to send to their moms. They crashed Yoongi's room where he was working on editing photos of the members (maybe for his personal fansite he used to run of the members?) And talking about how he doesn't have jetlag because he wouldn't go to sleep until 6am in Korea anyway. JinKook sharing a room and TaeJoon finding them working out and teasing them for it. Lol
Yoongi scolding Namjoon for burning their food at the Korean restaurant the first time. "Don't do anything, just eat." Lol he took charge of their little grill and cooking the meat for the rest of their dinner. Jimin encouraging more scolding for Namjoon from both Yoongi and Jin and calling them the parents of the group.
Jungkook taking photos of his food and Namjoon being so confused. "Does taking pictures of it make it taste different? Why do people do that?" 😂😂 Only to the make JK take a photo of his food too.
They were so happy watching the fans do performances and giving them awards and then also getting to go around Russia as tourists.
So this was long as heck, so sorry! If you read all this yay! I throughly enjoyed seeing all this content from 2014. I'm already excited for Memories of 2015. They were such babies and were so nervous and excited about everything. They were doing a lot of "firsts" and working so so hard. It was so exciting to see them get so excited! Thanks for letting me share 💜

Interview with the Writer
I was tagged by @lululawrence to do this a couple days ago 🥰🥰
name: Sada
fandoms: one direction now and for the last god six years but previously I’ve done k-pop, X-men, MCU, Teen Wolf, hockey rpf.....anime
where you post: Ao3
most popular one-shot: by and far (for now I have a feeling SOME FIC is gonna overtake it) This Thing Upon Me (howls like a beast) which I’m really cool with. I love that fic and what it represents to me which is. A whole lot in terms of my fandoming.
most popular multi-chap: by what measure? By kudos it’s Face Your Fears (finally omg I’ve been waiting for If I don’t have you to be overtaken for SO LONG) but by hits it’s If I don’t have you. By comments it’s all of my advent fics but I don’t always count those because those are people commenting every day. So 🤷🏼‍♀️ pick your poison.
favorite story you’ve written so far: oh that’s a really tough one. Hmmmm. I love most of my fics for a variety of reasons. I love love the Piece by Piece verse because it’s soft and canon fic and I just. Love that. I love the No Control verse because it gives me so many chances to explore a variety of kinks that might not be able to be explored easily in fic but I made such a good set up for it. I love my Pokémon fic because it’s plot is A+ and even though it’s niche af and probably not super accessible to non-Pokémon fans it’s still super fun for me lol. I love the Charles Compass Trilogy and Don’t let the tide come and We’re Driving in Your Fast Car and I want the world to know because they’re really good short fics that I wrapped up well. I love my omega Harry/omega Louis sugar daddy fic because it has quite possibly some of the filthiest smut I’ve written and I’m proud of that. I love the canon bdsm verse because it’s got emotional depth and A+ smut. I just. Really enjoy my own writing....over all. Oh. And Be a Saint (patience is a virtue) I was struggling with infertility hardcore when I wrote that and I just needed that fic to exist.
fic you were nervous to post: my very first fic. Brand new fandom. Big - established fandom. I had a lot of experience in other fandoms but I joined Teen Wolf before season 2. I wrote in Kpop for bands in 2008. I started writing X-men at first class etc etc. this was pretty scary stuff. I also ditched my old alias to start new which meant losing my established reader base.
how do you choose your titles: I put on a playlist and hope for the best. 35 of my fic titles I stole for songs. The others are a mix of just....basic phrases tbh 😂😂
do you outline: usually!! For chaptered fics I will write out the chapters and then include summaries that get more and more detailed. So I outline for myself.
complete: 53 fics!!! Wow. And I’m at 877,000 words. Omg this year I’m gonna hit 1 million. Holy shit that’s my goal for the year. NAILED IT
in progress: just my eternal WIP. Which will get finished I PROMISE. I know exactly how it ends. It’s just getting there.
coming soon/not yet started: my omega Harry fic is posting the 13th and my Big Bang will be posting sometime later this year!!
prompts?: feel free to prompt but I have no guarantee I will be able to complete the request.
upcoming work you’re most excited about: I’m interested in how people receive my omega Harry fic. I think that’s going to shape some decisions in my abo fic going forward. Or at least some themes I want to explore with omega fic. I’m also hyped for my Big Bang!!! I think a lot of people will enjoy it (I hope!!!)
tagging: idk who’s done this or not so sorry if you’ve done this! @homosociallyyours @cyantific @fallinglikethis @eeveelou

(Note: I’m not repeating stories he’s told before and just putting them in parenthesis. I have a lot more videos to go until I’m caught up so that would save me a lot of time. If he gives details I never heard from him before, I will type those.) 
“Women Who Run With Wolves” Speaks, September 21, 2020
- Says someone came to his forum and said the stories of the 6 women who are accusing him are immaculate. He questions what 6 women. - Say there were 3 women he dated. Says he dated Shiloh 10 years ago until she got pregnant with another man’s baby. Then his husband Kai stepped in and they’ve been married 8 years. They were in one serious poly relationship, Billie. The other they weren’t serious about because they were sexually extorted. - Says he was told Adam was just Regina dressed up as a guy. There was a shadow over Adam’s face. He says you’d say that’s insane, why would a “victim” (hand quote) dress up as a dude so they could be on Hansen’s show twice and get clout twice? [This must be the video this screen shot was taken from. edit: it was from “You Are Your Own Worst Enemy”] He tells viewers to watch the footage of each interview and compare.  - Says Regina is someone with a 2 year age gap with Kai, so there’s no potential for something weird there. Says he (James) never spoke to or met Regina. He says he heard Regina and Shiloh were ripped apart on lolcow or 4chan, says just like everyone else who is mentally whack. Says apparently Regina pretended to be a transgender person. Again, says study the footage and compare Regina and Adam. - Says Luxymoo was 20-something when he had a conversation with her. Says he told her he needed someone to keep Kai company while he was working, so if she wanted to date Kai that’s fine. He says he told her he (James) doesn’t have to be part of the relationship. Says she’s a “victim” (hand quote) even though he never met her. - (Lists Shiloh’s lies during their relationship.) Says he only calls Shiloh crazy because Sarah is not as nutzo as Shiloh and Billie is not as nutzo as Sarah. Billie is the most mentally sound, even though she’s vindictive and has anger problems. - Says Maya was debunked hard. He says he posted her texts about how into him she was and how she was sorry and wanted to try again. He says he asked her out and kissed her on the lips when she said yes. [He puts his hands up] “Sorry, I guess I wasn’t supposed to do that.” [in a mocking tone.] Says she got mad at him because he asked to pick her up and carry her to the other room so they could play VR and she said yes. Says she was 24 at the time. - Says you guys don’t care about the actual facts. You say children, but there were no children involved. - Says a normal accusation is someone kept me in a cage and sprayed me with a hose, but you guys believe the most ridiculous nonsense and the mob thinks it all makes sense. “He’s a masterful kisser after asker-outer.” [mocking tone again] - Says he feels like the people he broke up with all together and tried to imprison him. The FBI, Hansen, the cops, Shiloh all didn’t work out for you. - [Insults anti-o’s for a while, says they’re “mentally retarded” and deserve disability benefits among other things] - [insults his exes, the usual shit he says in all of his video] - He shows his computer monitors and says he does computer work all day. He asks how does he has the time [he changes his thought, but I think he was implying he doesn’t have the time to date women.] He says people think if they have a pussy, they can woo him. Men and women tried to collaborate with him on Only Fans. He asks why would he do that if he doesn’t know them? He says “no” to them because he only has sex when he’s in love with someone or if he’s being essentially raped. Says he also had sex when he was in rebound mode and that sucked. He said they were both 26. - Says he knows how it feels to be duped by Shiloh. He was duped by her for a year even though he knew she was lying. - Says Nicholas DeOrio acts like a white knight and thinks people with vaginas can do no wrong. Says he tried to tell DeOrio (Shiloh lied about being knocked out story). - He says Shiloh told him there was a guy who abducted and raped her in his basement for weeks. He says he just realized he got mad at Ricegum when he asked a girl if getting raped hurt because he (James) asked Shiloh that too, but not the same way. “Was it always torture for you?” She told him sometimes your body betrays you, but she ever enjoyed what he did. He says he didn’t know why he asked and says he was an idiot, 24 at the time. He says he doesn’t know if that really happened, but one time she said she saw her kidnapper a block away. James said he’ll beat the crap out of him if he’s a rapist, but she said no and that they needed to go. Says it was near a Korean BBQ in crowded downtown Toronto. He says it might have been close to where the into to one of the Saw movies was recorded. Says there was also a music store and a costume store so you guys can look at the maps and find out where he was. Says he likes to be transparent and no matter how many times you ask him questions he’ll always give the same answers. - Says you literally reported him to the cops with a LeafyIsHere video. Teenagers think just because you have an opinion of someone, you can cancel them and ruin their life. - Says he didn’t meet these people. Says he met Maya and he gives a sarcastic apology for kissing her. Says she didn’t complain about it right after. He went downstairs and made her breakfast after he kissed her.
“Onision Is The New Johnny Depp“ Speaks, September 22, 2020
- Says people tried to deplatform him when this all started. Says that’s weird because if someone was guilty, you’d want them to talk as much as possible. Unless you were the one hiding something. He says it would be weird for someone who talks as much as him to go quiet. - (Hansen is a fraud, he made a lot of money off of alleged victims) - Says there’s an alleged show that’s asking commentary Youtubers to be on. They weren’t there. How desperate are they? Asks if you watched a documentary and thought how great would it be if that random commentary Youtuber was in it? Says they didn’t even ask the guy who the show is about for comment. - Asks where all the funds go for the TV show. Asks if people are paid to be pretend victims. - Tells his audience to compare Regina and Adam again. Said a Hansen insider [Vincent? lmao] told him they were the same person. He says he already suspected it, but the insider told him without him asking. Says it’s demented and crazy to go on a show twice pretending to be two different people. Says it’s said Regina’s a hardcore drug user and it might have fried their brain. Says he doesn’t know and Regina should speak about it. - Says he was told the people he dumped had a falling out.  - Says he tried to work things out with Billie after, but she said “haha f-you.” Says Billie dumped Kai once in a car. - Says it’s clear the show is not for justice. If you want justice, you go to the police or get a lawyer. If you want clout, you go on a livestream or a TV show, start a Venmo, promote your album, Only Fans, etc. - Says if it was all true, there’s still no crime. It also alienates everyone else he ever dated. - Someone said “good morning to everyone but Onision.” He says so you just said hello to Hitler? - He says if a 19-year-old dude goes after a 16-year-old, people call him a pedo, but that’s not a pedo. Says it’s fine in a lot of states with the Romeo and Juliet laws. - Says people were paying attention to him because they thought he was melting down. He gave them what they wanted and he posted the bloopers to prove it. Says he made a good amount of money off of those fake meltdown videos and it was fun for him. - Says he never met the MySpace dude who went on Hansen. Never met the girl who said her friend died because of his video. Says so many people went on the show acting like experts and he has no idea who they are. - Says Maya said she never liked him and he proved her wrong with her texts. She came out, he posts the texts, she walks away. Says she re-invented the past. Says she needs to get her head checked. People do things like this when they have mental illness. They are trying to be a victim. He says that’s a common BPD thing, but he doesn’t know if she has that. - Says the commentary channels are just as bad as these fake me too’s because they make money off of the situation. Money is the root of all evil and if you follow they money, you’ll see the patterns. If they pretend to be heroes, why don’t they support charity? - He says if the company who is making the show has a lot of money, he can sue them. If you watch all his videos and aren’t mentally ill, it’s beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is nonsense. - Someone asked why he made this the theme of this channel. He says people won’t drop it and let him move on. He won’t stop fighting for the truth, even if it drives his channel into the ground. - (They are framing him because he dumped them.) - Says someone walked in on his video and he had to cut it. - Says Shiloh’s been stalking him for 10 years. She told him even if he was married with kids, she’d show up on his doorstep. She said they when they were listening to an Adele song. He says that’s mental illness. Says she contacted Kai. Tells her to move on, why are you obsessed? - Says if you were being honest, why would you not show up on a show? Says if they don’t want to collect money, they can donate it to charity. He says they’re already in too deep because they collected money. He tells the show, Edwin, Repzion, and Hansen to donate to TWLOHA if they care about actual victims. - He says using me too to get money is a guaranteed gateway to hell. Says real victims don’t want to report it because they don’t want to talk about it or see their abuser again. Says they were obsessively talking about him. Says he heard Sarah was playing a drinking game while watching his videos. He says she wasn’t really his ex because she sexually extorted him when she was an adult. Says she’s a rapist and she admitted it. She was beyond 18 by some time. - Says it’s sad there’s no consolation prize for him for being framed and sexually extorted. Says a creepy old man showed up to his house, he was egged the next day, people tired to swat him, tried to commit perjury against him to get his channels taken down. People think he’s disgusting even though he’s innocent, like Johnny Depp. If you have a taste in crazy women, you’re doomed. - Says he’s forever socially tainted with the lies of others. The silver lining is he can tell his viewers to avoid relationships with people who pretend to be victims. He tried to save Shiloh and Sarah. Shiloh faked a rape, car accident, pregnancy. Sarah said she was beat by her mom and raped. - Says Shiloh implied she started talking to him when she was 16. He says that’s not true, unless she emailed him. Says he got a lot of emails. Says she made a comment that he only paid attention to her because she was a Canadian popstar. He says that’s true and he only emailed her back because it was good for his career. He said it wasn’t about her age and that’s why Kai lied about his age. Kai knew if he didn’t lie about his age, James would have stopped talking to him. By the time James found out the truth, he already fell for him. It was legal. Says there’s taboo and there’s the law. - Says a dude can stab 20 people, but people will still just make videos and a documentary about how he broke up with a girl for being a criminal.  - Says he can’t trust anyone anymore. Sarah told him she’d never be like Billie or Shiloh and they were evil. She would up being them. Says Sarah was the most criminal of them all and bragged about it on twitter. He asks if they’ll include that on the documentary.

“Y-Yoongi…?” I looked down seeing Yoongi’s eyes seemed distant but his presence didn’t scare me. He moved a few steps closer to me. “Y/N…” I was a bit scared about to run when he wrapped his arms around me.
“Just say you like me, just say it, okay?”
“Say it. Say you like me.” Yoongi pulled me in a tight hug.
“Stop it... You’re hurting me,” I said as he held onto my arms and I looked at him. “Do you hate me that much?” The silence fell between us. Yoongi’s eyes changed from deeply concerned and confused to cold and heartless.
Why are you asking a question I have no answer to...?
“I must be stupid. Why must I like you.” Yoongi let go of me as he began to walk away immediately.
“–You said that you never wanted to see my crying face again... So why...? Why did you hug me all of a sudden now that I’ve finally forgotten all about you?!” I shouted stubbornly as I clenched my fists fiercely.
Yoongi stopped and turned his head, staring at me. “I tried to, but you’re still in my head even after all these years. I can’t put my finger to it, you’re just there in my head, in my thoughts when I try to sleep and once I’m awake you’re there too.” He scoffed and showed me a sad expression. “Even if I wanted to forget all about you and completely erase you from my memories. It’s just impossible for me to do it, Y/N...” He confessed deeply.
I could myself waver my feelings once again... My heart is begging to just be with him and hug him tightly. Yoongi’s usually a man with no emotions so I couldn’t help but feel sympathy and a bit bad for him too.
“I apologize. I’m so sorry about that.” I said, hesitating a bit but I went and hugged him softly. Yoongi’s head rested on my shoulder and I patted his back. “Heh.” Our eyes met again and I smiled a bit before tugging some hair behind my ear as he stroked my cheek and I rested in his warm palm.
“–You’re so pretty, your boyfriend must be lucky.” I looked at him deeply, fluttering my eyes as I shook my head. “I’m going to break up with Daniel Jones… He’s not the one I used to know and love anymore.” Yoongi was surprised to hear that when he leaned in close to my ear. I could smell his mint like perfume, it was nice.
“–Then that must mean that I still have a chance now, right?” My eyes fluttered as I blushed pink, my heart beating fast and Yoongi smiled. He leaned closer, I closed my eyes as our lips were about to touch when a familiar voice suddenly called.
“–Boss, there you are! Come on Jungkook has found data on Jayden and possibly Seth’s gang.” Jimin informed as Yoongi and I looked at each other before he let go of me.
“Alright, get the car. I’m coming. Y/N, you need a ride?” Yoongi rubbed the back of his neck as his personality shifted like no big deal.
I can’t believe he didn’t kiss me...!
“Is it alright for me to tag along? I don’t want to cause trouble.” Yoongi nodded as I followed him inside the black car, a Hyundai to be exact. I opened the door as I sat next to Yoongi in the back seat. “Drive to “Gangnam” station, Y/N needs to get off there. Also, what is the information?” Jimin nodded as he turned left and then right. After couple of minutes I could see the station’s lights as the engine stopped.
“Thanks, Jimin and Min Yoongi– I mean, Min Suga...” I bowed my head deeply as I turned around but Yoongi rolled his window down. “I bet I’ll see you around, take care Y/N Lee Meílíng.” He gave me a piece of paper flashed me a smirk when the car drove off as the window rolled up again. That was Min Yoongi and Park Jimin, two members of the powerful Mafia Bangtan gang.
I couldn’t believe that Yoongi hugged me. Did he really like me or was it just to tempt me or pure teasing? But I already agreed that I wouldn’t date a Mafia Leader, that’d be too dangerous for me anyways. Besides we’re both two different persons with distinct lives, there’s no way we’d click with each others’ personalities or ways of doing things.
“–So you’ve found the location of their hideout? Is that correct Jungkook?” Yoongi asked as Jungkook nodded, showing the exact details on the map. “We should be able to handle them if they’re around four. But I highly doubt Seth is going to be there, you know.” Taehyung added as he drank some strawberry milk, Jungkook nodded and loaded his guns with bullets as he tugged them into his belt before finishing his banana milk.
“That’s true but be careful I can’t afford to lose this when we’re so close on finding that Seth bastard.” Yoongi commanded as they all nodded. Right away they headed inside the car and drove fast, taking the highway and skipping the slow cars on the way.
“Was that Y/N Lee Meílíng, earlier you met?” Jimin asked curiously as he looked over checking his hearing device. Yoongi nodded as he looked out the window staring blankly at the moonlight.
“Yeah, apparently she wants to break it off with Daniel Jones. She seemed determined about it too, but she still remains special to me at least... Something about her.”
They finally arrived at the hideout, it was an old abandoned factory, no longer in use.
“Four o'clock-formation, Jungkook and Taehyung at the front.” Yoongi commanded into his earpiece as they formed, Jungkook began shooting the windows alerting Jayden.
“–Crap. It’s the Bangtan Gang, quickly, run off!” Jayden stood as his hands were up, next to him was Seungri, Josh, and Max. The Josh and Max had snipers as they began shooting everywhere. Jungkook was rather taken by surprise as he wounded Jayden and in exchange for that got shot heavily on the stomach and arms.
“Ack, back up. Hurry!” Taehyung screamed as he pulled him away. Yoongi stood up as he shot Josh and Max, wounding them heavily as they fell to the ground.
“It’s over, Jayden you come with us.” Jimin scoffed and hurried to tie up his hands as Taehyung helped Jungkook getting up. “Fuck, Boss it’s bad, very bad.” He exhaled sharply when Yoongi scoffed as he drove fast, returning to their mansion in no time. The doctor Kim Seokjin came by and checked on Jungkook.
“It’s not too bad, but he needs to relax a few weeks maybe even months. Also, clean his wounds now and then.” Seokjin bowed as he went out. “Does that mean I’m unable to shoot and use my arms?” Jungkook asked desperately as he placed his hands on his shoulders.
“There’s no guarantee you’ll be able to use weapons at the moment, however you should focus on a healthy and speedy recovery. After all, the vital spots in your stomach got hurt and the veins in your arms are damaged too, Mr. Jeon.” Seokjin reported as Jungkook nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.
“–So where is Seth, tell me now.” Jayden sighed as he was punched in the face and stomach multiple times, he was bleeding heavily.
“F-Fine, he’s not in Seoul right now. He’s on the island Macau.” Yoongi let go of his hair as he frowned. “Might’ve to use you for more information, so you’ll stay here.” He scoffed, wiping the blood off his hands with an used old dish cloth before throwing it to the side and leaving the basement.
“For now, Jimin I need a replacement for Jeon Jungkook.” Yoongi sighed heavily as he drank some red wine, Jimin simply nodded and check his laptop if he could contact someone that could be useful for the time of being.
Yoongi looked over as he found a strand of my hair on the suit he wore earlier, the strand now crimson red as it was covered in blood.
“–Might have to hire her as Jungkook’s replacement.” I went to my apartment luckily Daniel wasn’t home and he left a note with errors.
“Yah, because ur such a lil’ whore I’mma go sleep a couple of days at my friends’ house. Next time you better make some food you fucking slut. Break up, my ass.” I sighed in deep frustration, thinking it was finally over.
But it wasn’t, Daniel obviously needed a place to stay at. He couldn’t get laid in the streets and he needed me for his mental or physical abuse anyways. I scoffed, crumbling the piece of paper and threw it into the corner of the living room.
“What a fucking asshole. I hate him!” I screamed in anger as I began to make some dinner, I sliced an avocado, tomato, and some chicken breast. I took two pieces of whole-grain bread as I cut them in half, toasting them in the panini press, to make them crunchy. I looked at the piece of paper Yoongi gave to me. It was his number 09 03 19 93.
I smiled and kissed the tiny piece of paper. “I like you too… You’know…?” I ate my toasted crispy sandwiches as I drank some milk tea watching my favorite Korean Drama “Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food” I was in awe, watching the male lead Seo Joon-hee fall so hard for Yoon Jin-ah.
“–Sorry Hyung, I lost aim, they really took me down with the snipers and all.” Jungkook bowed his head as his arms and half of his body were covered in bandages. Yoongi smiled and patted his shoulder comfortably.
“It’s fine, I just thought for a second I might’ve lost one of my most precious members and comrades. Make sure to get some rest, alright? I’ll have to find someone that can replace you in the meantime.” Yoongi bowed as he turned off the lights heading outside his bedroom. “But who would it be?” He asked as he stood there in silence.
I finished, eating and watched a couple more episodes, I felt my eyes getting sleepy as I turned off my laptop and brushed my teeth. I was about to set my alarm when I got a notification from an unknown number.
09 03 19 93:
“Hey…”
“I was thinking if we could meet up tomorrow?”
“It’s urgent, meet at the park around 6:00 AM.” I tilted my head in confusion before I remembered the number of Yoongi’s. I texted back and smiled, my heartbeat full of curiosity. “Okay, I’ll be there. Goodnight.”
Monday the 4th of May 2020. I was asleep when I woke up to the dawn rising as I rubbed my eyes. I went and poured some chocolate and dried raspberry granola and milk into a bowl. I ate quickly and brushed my teeth after that I did my hair. I put on some casual clothes; a tight short skirt and cropped button-up shirt, I wore my white heels, leaving my apartment and began walking towards Dosan Park. I noticed from a far Min Yoongi wearing a mask and some black clothes.
“Hey. So um, what did you want to meet up for?” I rubbed my arms, feeling awkward from thinking about ‘almost’ from yesterday.
“It’s rather hard to explain but please come with me for now. I can’t explain it here. I’ll get you some breakfast too.” Yoongi said concerned as he pulled my arm and started, walking me inside his car. He drove us as we kind of held hands, I was taken by surprise. Usually, he wouldn’t hold hands but he seemed rather frustrated about something his hand gently caressed mine.
“–It’s regarding Jeon Jungkook, my gang member has been hurt with some rough and serious wounds. And I need a team of three gang members. However, his recovery is taking weeks, maybe even months, and I need to find that Seth bastard quick and so badly.” I was shocked to hear Yoongi say and explain all that to me. I gulped as I looked at him, I struggled to say anything let alone react.
“–Do you really think an ordinary woman like me is going to join Korea’s most dangerous Mafia gang...? I–I don’t even know how to shoot or fight–”
Yoongi cut me off as he parked the car then he lifted my chin, staring into my eyes. “Y/N, you’re not going to shoot, your job will mostly consist of paperwork, and besides, I know you’re a woman of high intelligence. Your disguise isn’t bad too, you’re a University professor, right? Then you know the roles of Ms. Meílíng and Y/N-ssi.” He complimented me as I was taken back by his sudden acknowledgement. 
“I know I can trust you, can’t I?” Yoongi rubbed my cheek as I felt captivated by his pretty eyes. I closed my eyes for a moment, thinking about all the stuff, that has happened to me.
But I knew that I might not see Min Yoongi ever again. If I don’t say ‘yes’ now, he might be forever gone again.
Yoongi leaned in closer, waiting for my decision impatiently when I saw his lips pursed. I opened my eyes before looking at him deeply.
“–Yes… I’ll come with you, Min Yoongi. But only until Jungkook’s feeling better. Then I’ll leave as soon as possible.” Yoongi nodded. “Deal.” He shook my hand as we went out of the car. I followed him and I remembered the place as clear as day, the stairs where I fell down. Upstairs Yoongi’s office, bedroom, and the bathroom as well as Jimin’s bedroom.
“Should I show the Kitten around, Sir?” There stood that charming half blonde and half pink haired man. “It’s Y/N Meílíng, not Kitten, hmph!” I scoffed and flipped my hair sassily, not falling for his stupid flirting again. Yoongi smirked as he went over to me. “Yes, Kim Taehyung refer to her as Y/Nssi or Ms. Lee, it’s not your Kitten anyways. She’s here as a temporarily replacement for Jeon Jungkook until he recovers, however she’s not the combat type, so she’ll just organize stuff for us. Like simple paperwork and basic computer tech is her job.” Taehyung nodded as he bit his lips, checking me out in my style of fashion.
“You’re quite hot, you know that? Taehyung’s the name but you can call me Tae.” He winked as I frowned, crossing my arms.
I’m not the type to fall for such cheap pickup lines or awful flirting techniques.
“Okay Taehyung, you better back off. I’m not here to flirt with you. Anyways Mr. Min, where should I begin?” Yoongi smiled as he put a hand on my back as we went upstairs, I pulled my short skirt a bit down, I knew that I regretted my choice of clothes seeing Taehyung so early in the morning. “–Right this is my office, we’ve been here before. This is my bedroom, Park Jimin’s on the left and Kim Taehyung’s down the hall. Downstairs is Jeon Jungkook’s bedroom. I should go and check on his wounds later.”
Yoongi went down the hall as I waited for him in the office, I scanned the room. There was a crimson red carpet, a desk with papers scattered on it. Some books, undocumented files, important labelled folders, and a black suitcase on the shelf as well as some photos of other gangs.
“–Okay, I just want you to organize the papers here for me. Some of them are marked as read and they should be placed in the paper bin. Alright?” I smiled, nodding as I bent down picking up some papers, Yoongi clearly smirked as he turned around.
“–I saw that. Heh, you’re not so sneaky, you’know that.” Yoongi wrapped his arms around my stomach as he lifted me off my feet.
“I’d be careful wearing short skirts, my gang members aren’t really used to seeing a pretty woman wander around here, you’know? Also, your tank top is showing your bra underneath.” Yoongi whispered against my ear I could feel his minty breath on my neck and his soft lips against my earlobe.
“O-Okay…! Just let me do the paperwork. I’ve a class around 1:00 PM.” Yoongi scoffed as he headed out of the room, making his way to the kitchen before heating up some hot water as he started to make breakfast. I saw some papers of what seems to be old information about Jayden and his gang members. I saw that it was marked ‘read’ with a red marker. I made a pile of the papers, each pile categorized.
I grabbed a bunch more when I saw an old letter with a certain interest that woke up inside me. I slid it inside my black purse as I continued, the rest of the papers were just some new information and some magazine for weapons. I placed them on the desk as I threw all if the ‘read’ material into the bin.
“–Breakfast’s ready if you’re interested.” I smiled as I tugged some hair behind my ear. “Yes Sir, I’ve finished the paperwork, you asked for.” Yoongi was surprised to see how well-organized and structured his office looked. He went and checked the ‘unread’ pile of the desk. “Incredible... You’re quite impressive, Lee Meílíng Y/N.” I shrugged my shoulders and rubbed the back of my hair. “Well, it’s nothing. I’m used to paperwork, after all, I’m an University professor.”
I went downstairs as I saw Taehyung and Jimin. “Hello, Ms. Meílíng I’m Park Jimin. We’ve met before but nice meeting you again.” He waved while eating some avocado toast and drank orange juice. “Thank you. Likewise.” I bowed my head as I sat on the stool. Next to Jimin was the annoying player Kim Taehyung, he ate some scrambled eggs as he drank some strawberry milk. Yoongi handed me a plate with rice balls and egg rolls along with a cup of hot chocolate.
“–Thank you, it looks delicious.” I took a sip of the creamy rich hot chocolate, it was delicious and made me warm on the inside. I began, eating as Taehyung stared at my chest as I glared. “What’s with you? You’re being a pervert.”
Taehyung raised an eyebrow as he chuckled, he got up and looked at me. “You know Y/N, those tits are looking quite sexy in that bra that’s nice and pretty. I mean we could try one night together, don’t you think?–” Before he could say another word Yoongi pulled him by the end of his white t-shirt as he growled.
“–Don’t annoy our new member here, I don’t want your blood on my hands, Kim Taehyung. And don’t make me repeat myself. Got it?” I blushed, seeing Yoongi’s protectiveness over me as I finished eating. “–Darn it. You usually don’t mind but do when it’s her.” Taehyung sighed and pouted, walking back to his spot.
I got up and I stretched my arms. “So was that all you wanted me to do? Or do you have more paperwork?” Yoongi drank some of his black coffee as he ate some beef strips. “Follow me.” He wrapped an arm around my waist as he walked, guiding me.
“This room you’ve been here before. I know, it must be uncomfortable. But we’ve caught that one dude you kicked in the balls, his name is Jayden. We’ve asked him questions, but it seems he’d rather not betray his Gang.”
So maybe you could get him to talk. You being a woman.” I fluttered my eyes as I sat in front of him his face bruised blue and red, blood on his black shirt.
“Y-you… what the fuck is that whore doing in here?!–” I slapped his face as I was tired of hearing that word, from men I despised. “Shut up, or I’ll kill you now.” I lifted my left foot wearing some thick heels.
“Shit, so she was working for you all alone?” He spit some blood out as he stared at me down and up. “Not that’s for you to worry about now. So how many members do you have from the Blood Vessel Gang?” He shook his head not wanting to spit a word out or stab his Leader in the back.
Yoongi and I looked at each other clearly not convinced. “Don’t worry sir, I’ll handle it.” He headed out as I smirked I looked at him seductively. “You sure you don’t remember anything?~” I pulled up my tank top up my head as I was wearing a red strapless bra, I rubbed his knee as I sat on his leg.
Yoongi clearly surprised as he watched the whole scene play in the camera room. “That Y/N, she sure is full of surprises. Heh, quite impressive.” He smirked as he watched me. “I– I, I, fuck you’re so goddamn hot. I’ll tell you, but promise you won’t tell anyone else babe.” I nodded, rubbing his chin as I moved close he whispered some words and I felt his boner poke my thigh. The door busted open, Yoongi wasn’t that happy as he got me holding me on his shoulder.
“Taehyung punish him, I have no use for him anymore. Maybe even get rid of him.” His eyes rolled jealous of him holding me, Yoongi left the room as he carried me to his bedroom. “Y-Yoongi let me down, I can walk on my own you-you know—!” He placed me on the bed as he was above me, staring at my body I got very self aware of my tank top not being on me anymore, and his words earlier too had an impact on me.
“Y/N that was quite impressive of you, the way you lifted that top like it’s no big deal. Your boyfriend must’ve been a lucky guy.” He played with my straps as I breathed against his neck, he whispered something in my ear, and I felt like I was in a daze. “Yoongi, y-you’re close to me,” Yoongi mumbled against my earlobe, his voice so husky and deep.
“Tell me, what did he whisper into your ear, tell me, baby girl.” I snapped out of my daze, I nodded as my voice was low. “H-he said, Seth’s men are around 20 people in his layer house.” Yoongi lips touched the back of my ear as I felt goosebumps on my body. “Thank you, you’re quite useful. Good work Y/N.” He got off me as I blushed red, I stood up struggling a bit as I felt my legs probably were numb from lying down for a long time. But Yoongi caught me, I was on top of him as the door clicked Jimin staring at us both. His hands on my back near my bra lock and mine on his chest.
“Boss, Jayden’s unconscious. Taehyung dosed him with the sleep dose.—” Jimin’s jaw dropped as his eyes widen, he got flustered walking into his boss with a woman on top of him. “Right… I’ve gotten the information, good work. I’ll be down in a bit.” He nodded as he closed the door, Yoongi’s eyes staring at mine as they fluttered. “S-sorry, u-umm I fell and uh, I–” He smirked as he rubbed my bare back playing with the lock around my bra. “If you want me so badly, just tell me, Y/N. No need to fake collapse like that on me.” I gasped as I got up, and was extremely flustered about the whole thing.
“S-shut it! I didn’t want you, just so you know, I have no plans of falling for some bad boy like you!” I crossed my arms, he chuckled as he cooed. “Aw what a shame, I kind of liked you a little.” He got up and told me to change, as he went out and gave me my tank top. “Yeah, I will, just leave me alone.” Yoongi left the room as I pulled my skirt down I tried to adjust my panties and its pad, the door clicked.
“Sorry I forgot my phone–” Yoongi bit his lips as he saw my ass and I blushed red pulling my skirt up. “U-umm yeah sorry, here it is.” He cooed as he smirked at me. “Nice panties.” I was flustered as I got more red on my cheeks, I handed him his buzzing phone. “Sh-shut up… it’s already 10:45 AM? I should probably head home, I still need to change and pack my papers.” Yoongi nodded as he held the door for me I thanked him as I walked down pulling my skirt down.
Taehyung watching TV as Jimin was cleaning the counter. “M-m-mmm already falling for the Boss that’s a bad sign, Y/N. Thought you were only here to work?~” I crossed my arms as my eyes rolled. “I am, don’t think anything else–!” I protested as I frowned, rolling my eyes. “Y/N just flashed me her panties just a moment ago, she’s quite the dangerous type.” Yoongi chuckled as I fluttered my eyes all embarrassed. Jimin and Taehyung chuckled as they winked at him all proud.
“A-anyways come on.” I pulled his sleeve and he tagged along. “Gangnam station?” I nodded as he played some music, “Gogo Bebe” by Mamamoo played as I sang along smiling doing my hair in the mirror. “Thank you for helping me out today, it means a lot. Taehyung will learn to control himself, just don’t worry about him.” I rolled my eyes as my confidence rose up. “I know he’s just being a tease. But it’s alright, I mean I am single again, besides he seems to be close with you. So I’m fine. Ah, we’re here. See you around Min Yoongi.” I pinched his cheek as I got out waving to him as he drove away.
“Y/N? Was that just Min Yoongi? The leader of the Bangtan gang? What were you doing with him?” Namjoon stood there as he asked curiously and confusedly. “Upstairs at my place? I'll explain once we’re up there.” He sighed following me, I sighed as I sat down on the counter explaining the whole deal with Jungkook.
“Y/N that seems like a terrible idea, you know they’re from a dangerous Mafia group. I’m worried about you, ya know that? I know you’ve missed Min Yoongi, but he isn’t the same dude you used to know and adore back then. He's dangerous and trouble, you might get killed if you’re not careful.” I closed my eyes in disappointment, before taking a deep breath.
“Kim Namjoon. I know what I’m doing, so stop treating me a like a little helpless girl, alright? I know what Yoongi needs and his gang needs my help, I'm not shooting anyone or robbing a bank nor am I fighting anyone. The Bangtan just happens to have a wounded member, I can’t stand there and watch them falter.” Namjoon was surprised with my answer.
But I could tell I made a clear point as I stood on my ground, this is what I chose. If that meant I could stay with Yoongi and watch him closely, then I’m not backing off not now, not ever.
“Fine, just promise me you won’t get hurt and you’ll be extremely careful. I don’t want that bastard or any guys to hurt you ever again.” I smiled as he put on his shoes, he had to go and teach some basic lifting for a new member in his Fitness. I waved as I locked the door and showered.
All I think about was Yoongi...  Him carrying me on his shoulder, him being above me, then me on top of him and I bent over with my panties showing. I blushed hard as I shook my head trying not to think of dirty things, but my mind wondered if he was hot. Maybe abs, biceps flexing, and sharp jawline as I gave him a blowjob. His moans were probably heaven, his deep husky voice could make any woman weak. “A-ahh… Y/N keep going, don’t stop. Such a good baby girl wrapping her lips around Daddy’s crotch like that. Mmm…~” Yoongi groaned as he pulled my hair wanting me to suck him faster and deeper, I moaned too but he rubbed my hair. “Good, that feels just good… A-aah…” He finally came as I drank it all up, then he pulled up on his laps kissing me tasting himself and my lips. “Feeling great, baby girl? Was Daddy’s cock good for you, could you handle the size?” I nodded as we made out he rubbed and grabbed my ass but I grind on his crotch. He cursed my name as he groaned loudly I unclasped my bra, but I snapped back to reality as I had some students to teach and help today.
“–Ahh! Why am I thinking of such things? I’m so stupid for even fantasizing about those kinds of things.” I sighed as put on somebody lotion and wore some formal clothes, around 45 minutes passed as I was in the staff room organizing some papers. “Today’s period is going to shorter since I have a meeting to attend to. Anyways we’re taking to be and to have in their present, past and future forms, please.” Two students wrote on the blackboard their present forms, ‘I am’, ‘you are’, ‘he/she/it is’, ‘we are’, ‘they are’ and ‘I have’, ‘you have’, ‘he/she/it has’, ‘we have’, ‘they have’. I clapped and smiled, they really impressed me, they’re quick learners after all. “Very nice now just for the past tenses please.” They wrote as I gave them new irregular verbs to memorize, I decided not to give them a lot of homework, other than a podcast they could listen to for help with pronunciation of certain English words.
The class was over as I attended the meeting with other teachers, we were mostly discussing about how the next week’s schedule. After two hours I received a text from Yoongi, asking if we could meet up. “Around 3:30 PM? Can I pick you up “Gwanak-gu Office” Station?” I dialed the number as I called him. “Hey, no, it’s alright. I think I need to change first before coming over to you, I’ll see you there around 4:05 PM, okay? See you.~”
I smiled as I saved his contacts Min Yoongi, I made my way to the station as I listened to “HIP” by Mamamoo and I bopped my head to the beats. I arrived at my apartment taking off my heels as I changed my outfit, I wore white see through the t-shirt, black heels, net knee stockings, and a red skirt its length to my knees, black shorts underneath. I tied my hair in a ponytail as I wore my Rolex watch on my right wrist.
“I’m here.” I texted him as a black car arrived, “MIC Drop” by BTS playing, Yoongi was wearing some black sunglasses as he focused on the road. “So. how was your day with the students? They must really admire you, huh?” I smiled as I looked in the small round mirror I always had with me. I rubbed some red lipgloss on my lips. Yoongi’s gaze fixated on me and my red lips as I spoke. “Well just the usual, it’s more the other way around I admire them for learning so fast and always being so smart.”
He stopped the car at the red light as he put his hand on my knee as it rubbed my thigh, I blushed crimson red. “Sorry thought it was the break, I’ll move just give me a second.” Yoongi removed his black sunglasses as he used some drops for his eyes before putting his contacts on. I didn’t mind his hand on my thigh, it was warm and I didn’t feel uncomfortable unlike with Daniel.
“It’s fine, also green light. So um what’s today’s plans regarding me?” He drove a few more meters as he parked the car, he opened the door as he helped me out holding my hand. “It’s at a nightclub, you have to find someone called Jackson Wang. A member of the GOT7 Gang. However I want you to seduce him, he’s not captivated by the usual women at the club. Is that okay with you?” I nodded, I hesitated.
But I did tell Namjoon about it and I was determined not to back down now. I wanted Min Yoongi to trust me again and maybe he’ll change for my sake too.
“Alright just give me some details about his looks, and I’ll do it,” Taehyung smirked at me as I rolled my eyes, Jimin showing a picture of Jackson Wang, he was a handsome man with slicked back light brown hair. “Wow, he’s so handsome…” I blushed as I stuttered a bit Yoongi took the photo as he scoffed.
“Anyways come with me to my office. I need to speak to you in private.” He held my hand as he pulled me upstairs, I followed curiously. “I still have yet to test you for loyalty. So Jimin and Taehyung watch her closely.” Yoongi smirked as he sat on the bed staring at me up and down, his eyes scanned me and my body. “Y/N. If I can trust you, then come sit on my laps.”
I gasped as I stood there my eyes widened. “W-what? Really? Do I have to?” Jimin chuckled as Taehyung smirked at me. I sighed as I walked over to Yoongi taking my scrunchie off my hair as it went loose as I sat on his laps.
“Mmm… are you nervous Y/N? Are you scared of me?” Yoongi lifted my chin as he held onto my hips and I grind against him, he hummed. He came close to my face as he put some hair behind my ear as he whispered something into my ears and I grabbed onto his shoulders.
“Just like this and Jackson Wang will be convinced with your presence, Baby girl.” I blushed as he pressed our foreheads together, I closed my eyes.
“R-right I will, Min Yoongi.” Yoongi told Jimin and Taehyung to leave us as he pinned me on the bed.
“Why are you so dangerously cute? You’re making me crazy, you know that? Why did Daniel Jones have to be the lucky guy dating you? You made me suffer so much. I wanted you so bad all these years. Am I really that much of a bad guy for you to love?”
I gulped as my eyes fluttered at his eyes looked into mine deeply, I could tell he was genuine and serious about this. I reached out, cupping his cheeks, he rested his face in my palm cuddling against it. He was being needy as he pressed his forehead against mine, his eyes closed as I massaged his scalp with the other hand. “Why are you so handsome up close, it’s not fair either.” He sighed as he showed me his pouty lips, I haven’t seen since high school, my eyebrows furrowed, he seemed hurt and lonely.
“Can I kiss you…?” Min Yoongi asked as he leaned in his breath touched my lips, as his eyes were curious and blinking. “B-but I… I thought… I was only here to work for you–” He closed his eyes as he shook his head. “I like you. I like you so badly and I want you too, so badly. Seeing Daniel Jones take away something, that was mine made me angry. So just this once, can I steal my first kiss from you?” Yoongi’s eyes were needy and his lips pouting, he was too cute and my eyes fluttered as I closed my eyes, pulling him close.
His lips met mine soft and smooth, I massaged his scalp as I blushed pink then my arms wrapped around his back. Yoongi’s hands found their way to my white shirt as he unbuttoned it, I gasped but he kept kissing me deeper and harder. He licked my bottom lip wanting permission for his tongue to enter.
“Yoongi… I’m nervous…” His face came close to mine as he caressed my cheek, his eyes full of compassion and love. “Don’t be. I won’t hurt you the way he did. You can trust me.” My shirt fully unbuttoned as he rubbed my breasts a bit, my soft flesh in his veiny hands as I let out soft cute moans into his ear.
“Mmm… they’re so soft. And they smell nice too, like coconuts.” Yoongi kissed me a few times as his hands squeezed them. “A-aah, it’s my body lotion. Be careful I’m quite sensitive there– A-ah, a-ah~” He began kissing my chest as he made love marks, I moaned and whined his name. I felt his tongue lick them in circles before finally taking one hardened nipple into his mouth, he started to suck. My back arching as I moaned pulling his hair.
“Y/N… M-mmm I can’t take it anymore, your moans are driving me crazy.” He said as he slid his black suit off, he had abs, a six pack to be specific and I noticed the ‘heartbreaker’ tattoo on his left breast, a Chinese dragon leading to his torso. “Come here Min Yoongi.” I kissed him as he pulled me on his laps as he wrapped his arms around me, holding onto my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Our kissing didn’t interrupt, his plum lips felt so good against mine, I felt something inside me, I felt butterflies in my stomach, the love in my heart and I just wanted time to stop. I pulled my red skirt down as he unbuttoned my black shorts, his breath was panting as we continued to make out. He was above me as he swirled his tongue around mine I moaned as he smiled into the kiss. Yoongi finally got his hands under my shorts as he groped and massaged my ass cheeks. “A-aahh~ Y-Yoongi.” My tongue clicked as he smirked more seeing my panties as he rubbed my ass and kept kissing me. I felt, his clothed bulge poke my thigh as I looked, it was erected.
Those skinny jeans made it too easy and visible to see. “Sorry. You’re turning me on a lot.” I blushed as I rubbed his clothed bulge, he groaned and cussed in response. “M-mmm… A-aah…!” He rocked his hips against my hands as I stroked him with both my hands, he stuck his tongue out as he groaned a bit. “Y-Yoongi how big are you? You sure have grown since we last went to the beach.” I sat on his laps slowly grinding him as he kissed my chest, I hugged his head as I stroked his blonde hair moaning as I felt his lips place kisses all over my breasts. His bulge twitching like crazy as he groaned, I rubbed harder and rougher, as we both let out moans and grunts.
“Boss, we should head out now, Jackson has been spotted at the nightclub. What are you two doing anyway so loud–?” Taehyung stared as he clenched his fist clearly jealous about Yoongi kissing me and I was grinding him.
“I’ll be there in a moment, just get the car ready.” He rolled his eyes as he scoffed walking out, I rubbed my hair as Yoongi kissed me. “Sorry but we’ve to go now, maybe next time we’d be able to do it?” I nodded as I was blushing red. I buttoned my white shirt as I put on my black shorts and pulled up my red skirt.
“Okay, so light brown slick hair and white suit, he’s from Hong Kong. Okay got it.” I spoke into my speaker as Jimin guided me. I tried to look around as I walked to the bar. Yoongi watching me closely from upstairs as he looked around too, Taehyung still pissed and Jimin smiling at me.
“Dangerous” by Kardinal Offishall featuring Akon. I grabbed a glass of French Rosé as I took a sip and my eyes caught the attention of Jackson Wang sitting on the couch with a couple of ladies around his arms. I blushed, he was quite hot and sitting there with his legs open. I wouldn’t mind sitting on his laps. “Found him.” I said as I tugged away my speaker into my bra. I set my hair in a ponytail as I unbuttoned my white shirt.
“Okay. Showtime.” I walked sexily as my heels clicked the ground as I stood in front of him. He signaled telling the ladies to move aside, I sat next to him his arm around me as I drank my Rosé. “Hmm, haven’t seen you around here before are you new or do you come here often?” Jackson cooed as he whispered into my ear and our eyes met, looking at each other deeply.
Oh goodness, he’s dangerously hot!
I shook my head as I rubbed his thigh playing innocent. “No, I don’t come here often, since I don’t have a lot of friends. Buut… maybe you could be mine? Or more than just a friend?~” I said, pursing my lips together as I leaned close to his face. Jackson smirked as he grabbed onto my hips and pulled me onto his laps as he rubbed my shorts groping my ass.
“God, you’re smoking hot, baby girl. Can you kiss me?” He leaned in, as I blushed and I panicked a bit as my eyes closed. I felt his breath against my lips as his left hand cupped my cheek. But I felt myself getting yanked from his laps and into someone arms, Yoongi stood there holding me tightly as he pointed his gun at Jackson.
“Jackson Wang, give me the information and I won’t kill you.” He nodded as he scoffed, Jimin held his arms as he used some ropes to tie him and pushed him to walk. “Close call, he almost kissed what’s mine. But he didn’t.” Yoongi chuckled as he held me close rubbing my waist, I looked up blushing. He held me up on his stomach as he hugged me, I felt him kiss my neck, I let out a soft moan into his ear as we sat in the back seat.
“So when did she become a member of yours Min Yoongi?” Jackson scoffed as he was next to Taehyung in middle row lighting up his cigarette. “Not that long, but she’s quite the seducer - isn’t she?” Yoongi cooed as he rubbed my thigh, I blushed ,checking my unread texts from Hoseok.
“Y/N Lee Meílíng, are you serious? Why are you helping the Mafia Bangtan Gang? Your life could be in serious danger!” I sighed before texting back. “Hoseok, you don’t understand, I want to help Min Yoongi out. Maybe then he’ll go back to his usual self. Besides they’ve a wounded member there’s no way I’d just let him get hurt just cause they’re missing one member. Please just trust me, I’m a strong woman too, you know…”
We finally stopped at the apartment as they spoke with Jackson in the living room, it seemed rather easy. He was willing to cooperate in giving whatever information he had on the Blood Vessel Gang. I was in the kitchen as I drank a glass of cold water, Jungkook came as he tried to reach for banana milk in the refrigerator. He was struggling to get it with his right arm all bandaged up, I stood on my tippy toes as I handed it to him. “Thanks, Noona.” I smiled as I nodded my head. “Yeah, you’re welcome.” He waddled back to the stairs slowly walking to his room. “It’s a deal Mr. Min Yoongi, let’s meet up at HipHop Club Cream.” He glanced at me before bowing his head and winking. “Hope you’ll be there too, Ms. Y/N.”

For the celeb AU Percy witnesses a a hardcore fan coming up to Annabeth for the first time while they’re out or something or in the coffee shop and this fan is overstepping boundaries and Percy is appalled and just protective boyfriend Percy because Annabeth is clearly uncomfortable
Part 1: Here (Part 2: Here & Part 3: Here)
Percy has worked in the coffee shop industry for long enough to know that people are assholes. 
He’s dated a famous actress for long enough to know that things can get complicated.
But for some reason, in his mind, he hasn’t connected the two together.
So when this lanky dude who clearly just became of legal age to drink, stumbles up to them reeking of alcohol with a dazed look in his eyes at the sight of Annabeth, Percy’s momentarily frozen has he finally connects the dots.
“Annabeth Chase!” the guy yells, and thankfully there’s not too many people on the street at this time of night. 
Annabeth for her part, backs away a little with a thin smile on her face. 
“You’re the best,” the guy continues to yell, “I’m a huge fan, can I get a picture?” He stumbles closer as he rambles. “ Wow, you’re even hotter in real life.” 
It’s when he’s reaching out his hand that Percy snaps into gear and instinctively steps in front of his girlfriend. Oh fuck no. This guy is not going to lay a finger on her. 
“Back up dude.” He channels Dean Winchester this time. Screw polite midwestern newscaster.
He’s never been described as a big or scary dude, but luckily he’s got three things going for him right now. His height, his sobriety and his protectiveness over his girlfriend, and he’s about to throw down.
The guy frowns at him, like he’s just been made aware of another person besides Annabeth. Knowing his state, Percy thinks it’s probably the case.
“What the fuck man!” He scowls, trying to push forward anyway. “Annabeth, tell your bodyguard to back off, I want a picture, and a hug. I’m such a big fa—”
And Percy’s had enough with this guy. He shoves him backward, light enough to avoid actual harm, but hard enough so that he actually stumbles back a few steps.
For his part, Percy usually never says anything if a fan happens to approach them. But it’s ten at night, this guy’s drunk, invading personal space, and Annabeth is kinda hiding behind him at this point. That’s the first time she’s ever done that.
Percy is livid.
“What the fuck!” The guy yells again, catching his footing. That’s it.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with you,” he growls, stepping closer and squaring his shoulders to add to his height. “But you Need. To. Go.”
“NOW!” He yells when the guy doesn’t move.
It has the desired effect and all of a sudden he’s scrambling back, muttering curses under his breath. 
He’s still breathing heavily when Annabeth wraps her hand around his arm and pulls him back.
“You okay?” 
He nods his head, his heart rate going absolutely berserk and he realizes what his adrenaline was hiding was fear. Fear that something would happen to her. 
“Yeah, sorry, I’ve never done that before.” He responds, still trying to get his bearings.
She offers him a smile that immediately starts to warm his heart and her hand tightens where it’s still wrapped around his arm. 
“Well you played the role perfectly,” she tugs on him to continue walking and he’s glad to be moving again. The father they got from that guy, the better. 
“Frank could be jealous,” she teases, trying to lighten the air but all he can manage is a small smile as he tries to return his heart rate and breathing back to normal.
Frank, her normal bodyguard, was an absolute beast and the best bodyguard ever in Percy’s opinion. And now after doing his job for the first time, Percy has mad respect for the dude.
They round the corner and slip into Percy’s car and he only feels better after he starts driving. Annabeth lays a reassuring hand on his knee and is silent until they hit the first red light. 
“Thank you Percy, I wish you didn’t have to do that,” she says softly.
He shakes his head, how can she even say that? She was the one who had been in danger.
“No, don’t, you’re the one he was after, how do you…” he trails off, unsure of how to continue.
But Annabeth, being Annabeth, picks up on it. “It’s something that comes with the job,” she shrugs, “you kinda get used to it.”
Percy shakes his head again.
“But,” she continues, “doesn’t mean it isn’t scary. So thank you.”
“You don’t need to thank me,” he replies, finally pulling into the parking garage of his apartment. 
“Sure I do,” she says grabbing his hand as soon as they’re out. They walk to his door in silence, and Percy feels the relief of coming home when he unlocks the door, still hand in hand with Annabeth.
But as soon as they step inside she’s pressed up against him, pulling him into a sweet kiss.
He responds immediately, wrapping his arms around her, as if to reassure himself that she’s there. Right where she’s supposed to be. 
He knows that she’s trying to calm him down, even if it means pushing her own fears to the side and it speaks to just how amazing of a person she is. 
So he finds a way to say thank you too, by lifting her up and carrying her to the bedroom door.
A/N: Thank you so much for the prompt! I changed somw things up (to get max protective Percy) but I hopw you liked it nonetheless!! Love writing this AU, thanks again!!

6 + 1 Underground [Four x OC/reader] Chapter 3
Tumblr media
SUMMARY: Sasha is a Polish girl, with a strange past. She has various skills, driving amongst others. So she becomes Eight. And you know that Four plus Four is Eight...
CHAPTER 1 - CHAPTER 2 - CHAPTER 3: Eight’s Adrenaline - CHAPTER 4
Sasha finally understands one thing: things aren't really going the way she wanted them to.
WORDS: 2.4k
During the ride back home, Sasha looked at the landscapes. Desert, cactus, dust, wind, mountains. No green, nothing at all as they left the city. Three was driving the large car, apparently a Ford Expedition from what she saw, next to him, One gesturing as he showed him where they had to go now, as if Three wasn't aware of where they were going. Sasha sat directly behind Three, not bothering to know if anybody wanted to sit there, but nobody complained. Two jumped onto the backseat, putting her leather jacket next to her, so nobody would sit there, leaving Seven and Four sitting next to each other and Five next to Eight.
She wanted to drive so badly. She never spent more than a few days without driving, emptying her head from every though her mind could imagine, the pain and the hate she had. But now, for almost five days, she was obliged to do anything but driving. Since One met her during that night, she drove once, into the car accident, and what happened next was history. She saw her own funeral and then came here, first day in the US. She sighed, listening to the other's talking, silently, hearing Four complaining about Beaver and One suddenly becoming aggressive about millenials – even pointing at Sasha who was just looking through the window. For the first time in forever, she missed home.
Feel was blasting in her trailer and she seriously hoped that nobody would bother her about it, she sang along these love songs she used to listen to with Magda. She couldn't cry, that wasn't Sasha, Sasha never cried right? And for fuck's sake, even if the night was coming, she couldn't sleep. Stupid time zones, she swore looking at the ceiling. Her brain couldn't readjust itself to this, to the sun going down, to night, to going to sleep. She was absolutely screwed, and tomorrow she would regret everything, she could bet on it. And as if a demon heard her, somebody knocked. Luckily, she hid her mother's picture before going out. “Comin,” she shouted before jumping off her couch in order to open the door. Five stood there, a bottle of wine in her hand along with some snacks. She looked absolutely amazing, with a genuine smile on her face as Sasha looked confused at her.
“I'm so sorry ti come like this, out of the blue you know,” she apologized, “but I thought you might need somebody to talk to during your first night here.” Sasha's mouth went agape. She never expected anybody to come here, and to be nice with her. She expected cold blooded assassins, working with each other, next to each other, but nothing more. And Five was here to prove her wrong, as the pizza diner did before. “If you want me to leave, there's no problem,” Five continued because of the lack of Sasha's reaction.
“No,” she finally said, finally processing the whole information. “I'm sorry if I gave you this impression just... Come in! I'm never saying no to wine and snacks, so you know.” She pushed herself aside to let her in, and then closed the door behind her.
“Great to know that somebody enjoys having wine sometimes here,” Five commented as she sat on the small couch, putting the bottle and the snacks on the small table in front of her.
Sasha looked for some glasses in her cupboard, but couldn't find any wine glass – as expected – so she reached for two cups instead. Cheap move, Sasha, and you know that.
“I hope you don't feel too left out,” Five finally said after a few moments of silence during which she looked at the impersonal trailer, too impersonal if Sasha had to qualify it.
“No, it's fine,” she lied, even if she had a small talk during the diner with them, she still felt a bit... Off. Which was pretty normal, they knew each other at least for a few months now. She was fresh meat, she had to expect that.
“They are pretty welcoming, but they all have their own little things you know,” Five pursued, as Sasha put the cups in front of her. “They clicked very well actually...”
“And you didn't?”
“It's not that,” Five quickly moved her hand before continuing, “but we're here so you won't have a lonely first night, right?” Her smile warmed instantaneously the room. Sasha opened the bottle and poured some wine in the cups, before they drank to this new life. “Any questions about your nex life in the desert?”
“Thanks for the whole set of products”, Sasha said, hoping it was Five's doing. But honestly, she couldn't imagine anyone else doing it. Proof was here, Five was the only one to reach out to her to the point of coming to stay during her first night here. Which was quite adorable.
“You're welcome, that's normal,” she replied, gesturing with her hand before grabbing one of the snacks on the table. “As soon as I knew we would have a new member I had to do something to welcome them properly! Because,” she pursued, her smile slowly fading away, “ when you're the doctor, you don't have much to do when the others are doing their “things” you know...”
“You had folders when I arrived,” Sasha remarked, taking another sip of wine.
“Medical folders,” she precised, “I became the team's nutritionist, doctor, and everything on a medical aspect from headaches to the weird buzz in their ears.”
“So much pressure,” Sasha commented, eyeing the snacks before deciding to grab one. “Especially when you are the one tempting me with these snacks, I hope this won't go into my record!”
“Hum, hum,” Five agreed, “stays between us. It's nice to have a girl to chat with,” she admitted after a while.”
“And Two...?”
“Former CIA agent, she's more into being an agent than chatting about snacks and products,” Five correcter her. “It's not like she's not feminine, she's badass and I respect that, but she's more into things I'm not really into..”
“Such as?”
“Guns? Strategies? It's her everyday life, it wasn't mine.” Sasha understood the duality, she was also torn between being part of the mafia, a tough girl but also a delicate ballerina, a girly and giggly girl from time to time. “And besides, I'm twenty-seven and she's thirty-six, I mean, a whole generation apart!”
“No Timberlake phase,” Eight mumbled.
“Exactly! Only One seems to know who Timberlake is, and Four told me that he never saw nothing in this man, bullshit,” she exclaimed.
“Was a hardcore fan, I confess. And Eminem's too.”
“No shit, Eminem was my life when I was studying!”
“And I'm only three years younger than you, that's insane that we have so much in common!” Sasha felt just like during these nights she spent with Magda, speaking about anything but mafia, about the shitty things that happened to them, about their childhood memories... About anything. And that was how she began to feel with Five. Just like home.
Freedom. The ultimate perk of being dead. Or boredom, boredom was more accurate than freedom, especially in Sasha's case. She felt useless. She started to drive again to take them to eat, to grab something to eat for them, to go shopping, every occasion was a great occasion to drive; but these occasions were a little bit too normal for her. She was accustomed to danger, to her blood pulsing in her veins as she waited outside of the building for the men to come back and to drive, as quickly as possible because who the hell knew, an adrenaline rush as they were shouting from fear of happiness. She adored these moments. And here, she sat behind the steering wheel, like a mother, drumming on it while waiting for the others to come back. She mostly drove Five to the  pharmacy, playing some old music, singing alone with her and these were enjoyable rides. She couldn't say she didn't enjoy the other's company, but having to endure Four's The Score playlist became something going on her nerves sometimes.
“Do you listen to anything but The Score,” she asked him once, as he was sitting next to her while Three sat on the backseat of the small Fiat.
“No, he doesn't at all,” Three answered as he looked at what they bought, tapes, electronic devices and many other things that Sasha couldn't name. “He's on repeat since with this playlist since he came here.”
“You don't get it,” Four tried to defend himself, looking at Three, “these are masterpieces!”
“Why don't you listen to some Ukrainian songs,” Sasha finally asked, eyeing him from the corner of her eyes.
“Because I don't have to be a nationalist freak such as you are with Tulia.”
“You're so rude, I'd like to drop you off right here an never come back,” Sasha answered as he gave her a cocky smile. “Pierdolo ty.”
“You're so gaddamn lucky that it doesn't sound Ukrainian at all,” Four commented as Three began to chuckle a bit.
She missed the adrenaline, she missed it so badly, she wanted her reckless deeds back. And here, she had nothing, Wally the dog, One, Two and Three going nuts over informatics information, skateboards, Seven going to shoot things in the desert. She had Five, and Five was truly her blessing. The two of them weren't experts in any of these things, even if they tried sometimes, but everything they did wasn't what One promised them when he recruited them. Liar.
So, she spent some time in the desert, exploring mostly, to catch some “fresh” air in the middle of the hot desert, to empty her mind a bit by looking at the dust. She saw abandoned places from afar, houses probably left there since the dust bowl. Maybe not as abandoned as she thought, especially when she heard the noise of small wheels on the concrete. Cautiously, she approached the place, just as if she was on a mission – finally an adrenaline rush! – but quickly the rush faded, as she saw Four skateboarding in an empty pool, alone. She went off cover, going near the pool, arms crossed. He didn't notice her, until she began to speak.
“We never spoke about the pros,” she shouted as he rose his head to look at the person who disturbed him.
“Never really had the time to,” he replied as he stopped on the edge of the pool, not so far from her before going out of it. He rested on his skateboard, looking at her. “Now's a perfect time, shot your questions.'
“Since when being drunk and naked in Ukraine is normal,” she asked, a smile crossing her face.
“They don't have to know it isn't... Especially Seven, I like him to believe that shit,” Four admitted with a mischievous expression.
“No way,” she gasped rolling her eyes, before sitting on the edge of the pool. He made his way to join her, sitting right next to her as she began to move her legs. “Fucking missing the whole adrenaline of driving,” she said with a regretful tone, looking deep into the concrete. “I wish I could drive right now, not to the grocery store with your The Score,” she teased, “but for a true mission.”
“Skateboard,” he offered, as he pointed the skateboard laying next to him.
“You're joking, I'm not even able to stand on this shit!”
“Wasn't either until I tried,” he told her, “come on Eight, go and get your adrenaline rush!”
He put the skateboard next to her, with a little smirk, before jumping into the pool, landing perfectly on his feet. She hesitated. Adrenaline she wanted, adrenaline he could provide. After a few seconds, he let the skateboard roll down before getting to the ladder, because she wasn't a parkour expert and she needed her feet in case, you know, mission.
What a pitiful try she gave to skateboarding. Four explained everything to her, everything about the right balance and about being concentrated, focused and rolling with the wind. Of course, absolutely. She put her foot on the skateboard, hesitating as Four offered her his hand to help her. She seized it immediately and stood on the skateboard, shaking a bit.
“Now, I'm letting you go,” he warned her as she made big eyes.
“Don't you fucking dare Four!”
“You wanted adrenaline!”
“You're giving me death,” she complained as a child.
“Okay, give me your other hand then,” he finally said as she put her hand into his.
He began to walk, slowly making her move on the skateboard, swiftly. She shook like hell, feeling sweat drops on her back, as she looked on the concrete, not listening to what Four was telling her about keeping balance. She almost fell off, caught by Four's arm on her back. Slowly, she became more an more confident, not to the point of going alone, without Four's help, but mostly, she had fun, and maybe a small adrenaline rush during that afternoon.
“See, adrenaline's not that hard to find,” he told her with a smile as she went off from the skateboard.
“I almost experienced death, and you fucking know that,” she replied pushing the skateboard to him. “But that was a nice experience, not as much fun as driving while the cops are behind you or a gang is following you but nice.”
“You must compare my teaching skills to some mafia,” Four complained, rising his eyes to the sky.
“Yes I must, I'm a dramatic Polish girl.”
“Oh you Polish,” he mumbled.
“At least, we don't listen to The Score everyday.”
“Fuck you Eight.”
“Yeah, you'll fuck whoever you want if you want to, millenials,” they heard as they rose their heads and saw One standing on the edge of the pool. “Sorry to interrupt your... Thing? But Eight, I need you to study Paris' avenues, because, you know, mission?”
“No shit,” she whispered, eyes already sparkling.
“Yeah, no shit. And you too Four, you're coming because you'll need to find spots.”
“Count on me!”
Finally, a mission.

Future Management Chapter 8
A/N: Hi all! Hope you had a great holiday! I know I said this would be done before the new year, but I think I’m going to post the last chapter on Ben’s birthday (January 2nd).  So not too much behind, but thought I’d let you guys know! Anyway! I love you guys and hope you continue to enjoy!
Pairing: Ben Hardy x fem!Reader
Summary: You and Ben Hardy had been together for the better part of a decade.  After hitting a rough patch, the two of you decide to end things. However, one small surprise keeps you two connected more than you thought.
Warnings: SMUT! (only my 2nd time writing it, so I hope it’s okay) Unprotected sex (stay safe out there, y’all) That’s uh…about it. Some slightly jealous/dom!Ben (very brief)
Catch Up: Prologue (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/188795655663/future-management)  Chapter 1 (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/188846514968/future-management-chapter-1) Chapter 2 (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/188923255568/future-management-chapter-2) Chapter 3 (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/189095339763/future-management-chapter-3) Chapter 4 (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/189199837403/future-management-chapter-4) Chapter 5 (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/189300488163/future-management-chapter-5) Chapter 6 (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/189442099338/future-management-chapter-6) Chapter 7 (https://assembledherethevolunteers.tumblr.com/post/189800039798/future-management-chapter-7)
Taglist: @lovebirdy93 @jonesyaddiction @im-an-adult-ish @taylorroger-s  @springholland @stassaurus  @hahaboop @tcnystqrks @bloatedandlonly @doctorwhatwhenandwhere  @amy-brooklyn99 @mercurycrowley @shineedrmgrl  @yourstateofdreaming @annamikyska @bensakindofmagic @queenlover05 @annihrdy @iamthebeth   If I missed you I’m sorry! Please let me know if you want to be added.  
 “You know,” Ben whispered in your ear.  “The driver seems very focused on the road.  We could…have some fun back here.”  Ben waggled his eyebrows at you.
The two of you were in the back of the car.  Ben put his arm around you and you snuggled into his side.    
You giggled and smacked his chest.  
“No, we can’t because you, Mr. Jones, get handsy when you’re kissing and if you mess up my hair before we make that red carpet, Sam will kill you.”  
“I bet I could take him,” Ben moved your hair to one side and pressed a kiss to where neck met your shoulder.  
“We’ll be there soon, and we’ve got a whole hotel room to ourselves after everything.  There’s going to be lots of champagne.  And you know how I get when I’ve had champagne,” you smiled at Ben and raised one eyebrow.  
Ben chuckled under his breath.  
“If that’s the case, I can wait,” Ben’s hand started gently stroking your arm.  “Are you nervous?”  
“About the film?”
“Well, I meant more about the reporters and everybody knowing that we’re back together.”
You looked up at him. “I…I mean, yeah, but…God, this is going to sound so cheesy,” you looked away.
Ben used two fingers to move your head so that you were looking at him again.  “Tell me anyway.”
You looked into Ben’s eyes. They were searching yours for an answer.
“I…if you’re with me, it doesn’t matter.  We can do this.”  
Ben smiled at you and pressed his lips to yours gently.  
“I know we can,” Ben told you when he pulled away.  
The rest of the car ride, the two of you were quiet, just enjoying the calm before the storm and just being with each other.  
Suddenly, the car stopped, and you glanced around Ben and out of the window to see hundreds of people. Fans, reporters, photographers, and some of your fellow cast and crew.  
You looked at Ben and he gave you a big smile.  
“I love you,” Ben whispered and gave you a kiss.  It was just like what the two of you used to do before stepping out at movies or award shows.  
The driver came around and opened the door.  The first thing you heard was screaming.  Then you saw the flashes.  Ben took your hand before he stepped out of the car and thanked the driver.  
“Oh you’re welcome.  Your bags will be waiting in your room,” he gave Ben a nod before getting out of the way.  You felt everybody there took a deep breath as you got out of car with Ben. It was quiet for a beat before people started screaming.  
“Y/N! Y/N! OVER HERE!”
“BEN! LOOK HERE!”
“ARE YOU BACK TOGHETER?!”
The two of you smiled and waved.  
“Y/N! Y/N! It’s Jasmine from E!”
You liked Jasmine, so you pulled Ben over to her.
“Hi, sweetie! How are you?” She gave you a hug and an air kiss to the cheek.  
“I’m great! How are you?”
“Very well! So, I’m not even going to pretend this isn’t weird.  Hi, Ben!” Jasmine gave him a smile.  
“Hi, Jasmine,” Ben gave her a shy smile before she turned to you.  
“What’s going on here? Are you two back together?  Are you moving back to London?”
“Actually, we haven’t gotten to that yet, but we are back together!” You beamed.
Jasmine squealed and pulled both of you into a hug and then looked at the camera.  
“Well, you heard it here on E! first.  Y/N L/N and Ben Hardy are officially back together!”  
Ben squeezed your hand and the two of you continued down the line with pictures and interviews, most of them having to do with you and Ben, but then it would change to the movie. It was going really well.  
“Y/N!” You heard from behind you.  You looked over and saw Jackson waving at you.  
You smiled at him and walked over, pulling Ben along.  You gave him a hug and then stepped back closer to Ben.  
“Well, hello you two,” Jackson gave you both a knowing smile.  
Ben offered Jackson his hand.  “I owe you an apology, mate.  I have been…well, a real prick, if I’m being honest, and I’m sorry.”  
Jackson smiled, and shook Ben’s hand.  “Nah, man. I get it,” Jackson looked at you then back to Ben.  “Love makes people act like idiots sometimes.”
You blushed and leaned into Ben’s side.  Ben put his arm around your waist after he and Jackson let go of each other’s hands.
“JACKSON! Y/N! CAN WE GET SOME SHOTS?!”
You turned to Ben. “Behave while I go take some pictures?”
“Oh, never,” Ben gave you a kiss on the cheek as you and Jackson walked over to where they were directing you.  
“So, you and Ben are back together,” Jackson stated matter-of-factly.  
“Yeah, we are,” you said through your smile as cameras were taking pictures of you and Jackson.  
“Well good, I’m glad you’re happy.”  
You looked at Jackson and saw him smiling at you.  You smiled back and pulled him into a tight hug.  
“Alright, Jackson! You come down here and Y/N, you stay here,” one of the organizers came over and pulled Jackson a few yards down.  
The photographers and reporters were yelling your name and you did your best to look every direction so they could get the pictures.  
“Can we get some with Ben?!” Somebody yelled.  
You looked over at Ben, who was talking to one of photographers.  Another organizer walked over and then brought Ben over to you. He wrapped his arm around your waist.
“Well hello, again,” Ben grinned.  
“Hi, come here often?” You grinned back.  
“Well, if there are women like you around here, I’ll be sure to come more often.”  
You rolled your eyes and bit your lip to keep from smiling but damn him.    
“You’re ridiculous.”  
Ben laughed and pressed a kiss to your temple (and you were pretty sure there were more flashes than there had been).  
There were a few more pictures and interviews before they were able to sign autographs and take pictures with some fans.  
“I can’t believe that you two are back together,” one woman practically squealed at you as you signed a picture she had of you.  “You two are my favorite!”
You smiled at her. “Thank you so much!”
After a few more signatures and selfies, you were being ushered into the theater with everybody else.
“Y/N, so happy to see you,” TJ, the director, pulled you into a hug.  He then looked at Ben up and down.  “You’re Ben Hardy.”  
“Yes, sir, hi,” Ben offered his hand.  
You bit your bottom lip to keep from smiling.  You knew Ben was turning on the charm.  Whether he knew it or not.  TJ and Ben talked for a few minutes before TJ excused himself to talk to someone else.
“Did you bring a headshot for him too?” You nudged Ben with your elbow.
“What?  I wasn’t doing anything.”  
“You were schmoozing. Hardcore.”  
Ben opened his mouth to reply, but nothing came out.  He shook his head with a smile.  
“Alright, maybe a bit.”
“Champagne?”  A waiter came by with a tray of champagne flutes and Ben grabbed two, nodding his thanks before handing you one and clinking your glasses together.  
“To you, my love.”
You and Ben each took a sip, not taking your eyes off each other.  You couldn’t believe you were here with him again.  You’d never thought that this would happen, the two of you getting back together.  
“Y/N!” You heard Ginger yell your name from somewhere.  You looked around for her.  “Over here!” You looked towards the bar and found her.  She waved you over.  She was standing next to a gorgeous woman that you knew to be her girlfriend, Heidi.
You grabbed Ben’s hand and led him the way to Ginger.  You gave her a hug and then Heidi.  
“Ginger, Heidi, this is Ben,” you gestured to him and they both shook his hands.  
“So, this is the guy that you’ve been hung up on?”
“Ginger,” you hissed at her.
“Well, I’ve been hung up on her too,” Ben laughed and squeezed your hand.  
“Well that’s good, otherwise I think this would be awkward,” Ginger took a sip of her drink.  
Heidi rolled her eyes and looked at Ben.  “You’ll have to excuse her, she’s already on her second drink.”  
Ginger stuck her tongue out at Heidi and Heidi returned the gesture.  
The lights started to flicker and the four of you looked up.
“We better get in there. We’ll see you guys at the after party, right?”
“Of course! We’ll see you two later,” you gave them each a hug again before you and Ben went in to find your seats.  
You were seated next to Jackson near the middle of the theater and he smiled at up at you.  
“Y/N, you remember my sister, Joanna?” Jackson gestured to the woman sitting next to him.  She stood up and offered you her hand.  
“Hi, Jo,” you shook her hand.  You had met her once or twice on set.  She seemed nice enough.  
“Hi,” she looked over at Ben and her eyes bugged for a second.  “H…hi, and you’re?”
“Ben, nice to meet you,” Ben shook her hand.  “I’m Y/N’s boyfriend.”
Your heart nearly stopped and you turned back to look at him.  Ben and Jo sat down but you were still trying to process what he said.  Boyfriend.  Yes, you supposed he was your boyfriend.  It made you ridiculously happy to hear.  
“Y/N?”
You looked down at Ben. “I…yeah?”
“Aaaare you going to sit down?”
“Yes, sorry,” you sat down in your seat.  
“Are you alright?” Ben whispered in your ear.  
You looked at him and stared at him for a moment.  He looked back and raised an eyebrow.  
“Yeah, I just…hearing you say you’re my boyfriend again was…” You tried to find the right word, but you couldn’t find it.  
“Well, I’m not your husband again yet, so, I’ll settle for boyfriend.  For now anyway.”
You were shocked by that response.  You were trying to think of something, but then TJ stood up in front of the screen. Everybody started clapping and TJ held his hands up with a jovial smile.
“Thank you all so much for being here!” His voice was booming.  It almost brought you back to set.  “We are so excited to share this film with you all here in London.  We’re fortunate enough that the author of this wonderful novel, Ms. Caroline Mayer, here with us.”  TJ paused as everybody applauded and Caroline stood up and waved. “Now, I could stand up here and talk about how much work everybody put in and how wonderful our cast and crew is…”
TJ kept talking, but you weren’t paying attention because Ben’s hand moved to your thigh and started rubbing it with his thumb.  
“…so without further ado, please enjoy our film.”  
Everybody started clapping again and the lights went down.  
You sort of didn’t like this part of the job.  Watching yourself on a huge screen.  It didn’t matter how well you acted.  You could always find something wrong.  
You tried to get Ben’s attention a couple different ways.  You grabbed his hand off your thigh and played with his fingers.  He let you for a few moments before he intertwined your fingers and brought your hands down between you, really paying attention to the movie.  
You watched Ben’s face for a few scenes.  There were sometimes that you weren’t sure he was enjoying it.  You noticed his jaw clench for a moment when there was a scene between you and Jackson that was…intimate.  
“You alright?” You whispered to him.  
Ben just gave you a quick glance and nod and then looked back at the screen.  
The rest of the movie you tried to pay attention to without critiquing yourself too much.  You eventually rested your head on Ben’s shoulder.  He pressed a kiss to your forehead but stayed focused on the screen.  
The final scene, where you and Jackson embraced after a long, grueling fight with the antagonist, played and Ben squeezed your hand.  He pressed a kiss to your temple.  
“I am so proud of you. That was amazing.”
You picked your head up and looked at him with a smile.  He smiled back and pulled you into a kiss with some heat behind it.  
The lights came up and Ben pulled away, smirking at you, knowing what he’d just done to you.  
TJ stood up and gave a speech about the after party that would be across the street at the Grande Hotel.
“…and of course, we’ve got rooms if needed.  I hope to see you all over there!”  TJ clapped his hands together, dismissing everyone.  
You stood up and Jackson stood up and turned to you.  
“I always forget how intense that last scene is,” Jackson shrugged.  
“How?! It took us almost a whole week to shoot!” You laughed.  
“True.”
“That was really good, mate,” Ben leaned around you and offered Jackson his hand.  
Jackson gave him a full smile and Ben returned it as they shook hands.  
“Thanks, man.  Well, we’ll see you both over there?”
“Of course, Jack,” You pulled him into a hug and kissed his cheek.  
Jackson and Joanna left, and you turned to Ben.  
“That was nice of you,” you took Ben’s hand again.  
“It was honest. Although, I do think I have some issues with a scene or two,” Ben replied as he led you through the row.  
“Oh?” You pretended not to know what he meant.  “What scenes were those?”  
Once you were out of the row, Ben pulled you close to him and murmured to you, “I’ll show you later.”
That made you giggle.
“Let’s go get some champagne and celebrate,” you started pulling Ben towards to the lobby.  
Nearly three hours later, you were feeling very good.  After dinner and dessert, you’d probably drank almost an entire bottle of champagne and you noticed that your hands were nearly always on Ben in some way or another. And he always had a hand on you somewhere.  The small of your back when you talking to TJ at the bar, your thigh when you were sitting with Ginger and Heidi, holding your hand while talking to some people from the crew that made the trip.  
You left Ben to get more drinks at the bar and saw Jackson sitting by himself at the bar.  After you ordered, you walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.  
“Why so glum, chum?”
Jackson gave you a lazy smile.  You knew that he was feeling pretty good himself.  
“Oh I ain’t glum. Opposite actually.  I feel amazing.”
You laughed and gave Jackson a slight push.  
“We did amazing, kid.”
“We sure did.  I’m pretty proud of us,” you grinned.  
“Me too,” Jackson held up his glass of whiskey to you.  
You picked up the champagne flute that had been dropped off by the bartender (along with a gin and tonic for Ben) and clinked it to his glass.  
“To us, sweetheart,” Jackson winked before the two of you took a sip.  
“Jack,” you began, the alcohol making you pretty hazy.  You wanted to tell him thank you, and that you were sorry, and that everything would work out for him, but he held a hand up to you.  
“I know, Y/N, I know.”
You leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.  
“I meant it ya know,” you grabbed Ben’s gin and tonic.  “You deserve a lot better than me.”  
Jackson just shook his head and took another drink before you turned away and walked back to Ben. You handed him his drink and he fixed you with a stare.  You noticed that his eyes were a dark shade of green.  
“Do you have the key to our room?”  
You frowned at him. You thought he was having fun.  
“Yes, why?”  
Ben took a long swig from his drink and dragged his eyes over you.  
“We should get going. It’s getting late.”  
“Oooookay?” You shot him a look but drained your champagne.  You looked around at people to say goodbye, but Ben grabbed your hand and started leading you towards the elevator.  You waved at a few people, but you were out of the ballroom before you could say anything to anybody.  
Ben pushed the elevator button and the two of you waited for the elevator to arrive.  Neither of you said anything.  The elevator arrived and the two of you went inside.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Ben pinned you against one of the walls of the elevator.  You gasped and looked at him.  
“Ben, what…?”
“You know, all night, I had to watch Jackson kiss you on that giant fucking screen,” Ben’s voice was calm as he traced your jaw with one of his fingers.  
“Alright?”
Ben leaned in and growled in your ear, “So, maybe I should leave some reminders, so everyone remembers who you belong to.”
“What are you…?” You sucked in a breath as Ben not-so-gently bit and started to suck at your neck. You could practically already feel the mark he’d be leaving.  
Ben pushed his hips more into yours as he slid a hand into your hair, maneuvering your head so that he had more access to your neck.  
“B…Ben, I…” you stammered out.
“Yes, love?” Ben replied like he wasn’t tripling your pulse rate and continued to kiss and suck and bite around your neck.  
You closed your eyes and moaned at a well placed bite.  
“Theeeeere it is,” you felt Ben smirk against your skin before he started again.  
Oh, two could play this game, Jones.  You grabbed his free hand and held it up to your lips.  You pressed a kiss to one of his fingertips.  Ben stopped the assault on your neck and looked at you.  
“Oh, baby, it looks like you got some caramel sauce on your fingers.”  
Ben started to pull his hand away to inspect it when you put his pointer finger and middle finger in your mouth and gently sucked on them, making Ben groan.  He glanced at the door of the elevator.  
“This is the slowest fucking lift in history.”
You giggled around his fingers before pulling them out of your mouth.  
“Don’t worry, Benny,” you looked at him through your lashes.  “We’ve got all night.”  
Ben pressed his chest to yours and lifted your chin.  
“Don’t know how much longer I can wait.  Four years is way too long to wait.”  
As if hearing your conversation, the door (finally) opened and Ben pulled you down the hall.  You laughed.  
“Slow down! You don’t even know where we’re going!”  
“I heard TJ tell you we’re in 1039,” Ben replied and led you to the right door.  “Key?”
You very slowly started looking through your purse. “Hm…I know it’s here,” you teased.  
“Y/N,” Ben breathed in your ear before he nibbled your ear lobe.  You closed your eyes and leaned into him.  “There’s more where that came from if you find that key.”  
You opened your eyes and tore apart your purse.
“Oh look! I found it!” You held up the key triumphantly.  
The two of you were practically falling over each other to get into the room.  Once the door was shut, Ben pinned you against it with his hips. He didn’t kiss you.  He just looked over your face.  You stared back, barely being able to see but there was enough moonlight filtering in from the window.  
“Were you all talk or…?”
“I just…am enjoying the view.”  
“The last time you did that, Eliza cut our night short.”  
“Good point,” Ben replied before slamming his lips to yours.  
You kissed him back and wrapped your fingers in his hair, deepening the kiss.  You felt a heat your stomach already. Ben slid his hands down your body, making your shiver.  
You moved your hands and pushed Ben’s suit jacket off before you started to unbutton his shirt.  
“Where’s the zipper, love?” Ben asked in a husky voice.  
“Side,” you moved your arm so that Ben knew which side the zipper was on.
He quickly unzipped your dress and let it fall down your body.  Ben stepped back and helped you step out of it.  He blinked at you in your underwear and heels for a few moments. It was starting to make you self-conscious.  
“Come here,” Ben whispered, pulling him to you and kissing you again.  
You kicked your shoes off and jumped up wrapping your legs around Ben’s waist.  He held you up and moved his hands to cup under your ass. He laid you down on the bed, before breaking the kiss.  
You whined when he pulled away and Ben chuckled.  
“Just a second.  I think it’s a little unfair that I’m still dressed,” Ben told you as he stripped down to his boxer briefs.  Then he leaned over you and smiled.  “Better?”
“Oh much better,” you smiled.  
Ben pressed his lips to yours quickly before he kissed down your neck, much gentler than he had in the elevator.
“Ben,” you breathed out.
“Tell me what you want, Y/N.”
You didn’t answer right away and Ben reached around and unhooked your bra, sliding it off you and kissing down your chest.  He circled one of your nipples with his tongue.  
You leaned up into his mouth and let out a moan as Ben’s hands slid to your hips.  
“I need your mouth, lower,” you whimpered.  If you had any coherent thought besides one that got Ben’s mouth where you wanted him most, maybe you would’ve been embarrassed but right now you didn’t care.
Ben continued down your stomach, which was something you usually hated.  You had stretch marks from your pregnancy that still made you insecure, but Ben traced them with his lips, taking his time and making you feel less nervous about them.  
“I love your body,” Ben muttered against you before he continued even lower.  “Do you want these off?” He asked as he snapped the waistband of your panties.  
“God, yes.”
You could feel his hot breath against your clothed core before he slid them down your thighs, pressing kisses to your legs as he went.  He kissed back up, and sucked a mark into your thigh before he slid one of his fingers between your folds.  You both moaned.  
“You’re so wet, love. Who did this to you?”  
“You did, you fu…ahhhh!” You threaded one of your hands through Ben’s hair as he flicked his tongue to your clit.  
“What was that? Didn’t quite catch that,” Ben’s voice was smug, so you have his hair a bit of a tug. Which only made him move his lips to your sensitive nub completely.  
You fisted the sheets and closed your eyes.  
“Ben, if you…FUCK!” You shouted when Ben slid one of his fingers inside.  
“You really need to finish your sentences, darling.”  Ben didn’t even wait for your response before he dove back in.  
You could feel like you already about to burst.  You were almost there…
“Ben…m…more?”
Ben didn’t make you ask again as he slid another thick finger into you.  
“YES!  Yes, ohmygodBendontstop,” you started babbling until Ben hit that spot with his fingers and dragged his teeth gently across your bundle of nerves and you exploded.  Once you were done, Ben kissed up your stomach and chest again.  You were breathing heavily when you felt Ben’s lips on the corner of your mouth.  
“Alright there, sweetheart?”
You opened your eyes and stared at him for a moment.  
“More than alright,” you smiled at him, still breathing heavily.  “Now,” you rolled over on top of him, clearly taking him by surprise and you snickered at the look on his face.  “Let me return the favor.”  
You made your way down Ben’s toned chest and abs, paying attention to the way his muscles contracted when he inhaled rapidly, especially when you got lower to his waistband.  You could see how hard he already was and it made your mouth water.  You traced him with your mouth through the thin fabric and heard him swear under his breath.
“Alright there Benny?” You whispered.  
“I feel like I’ll be much better shortly,” Ben ran a hand through your hair.  
“Oh you will,” you slid his boxers off and watched his cock bounce on his stomach.  The tip was red and it was already leaking.  You stuck your tongue out and kitten licked at the head. Ben’s hand in your hair tightened and he groaned as he held his head up to watch you.  
You slowly started to take more of him into your mouth and you could tell that he was holding back fucking into your mouth.  
“You feel so good, love,” he muttered.  At that, you took him as deep as you could, hitting the back of your throat.  
“FUCK!” Ben threw his head back and closed his eyes.  
You started to bob up and down on Ben’s cock, his moaning and whispers encouraging you the whole time.  You could feel him start to thrust into you, making you gag.  You pulled off to catch your breath and wanted to get back to it, but Ben held your head up.  
“Y/N, I swear, if you keep doing that I won’t last and I want to be inside you.”
You raised an eyebrow at him but he moved so that he was straddling your hips. He ran his still hard cock through your folds.  
“Ben,” you started, but clearly he couldn’t wait any longer either.  
You both moaned loudly as he entered you.  
“You’re so tight for me, baby,” Ben huffed in your ear.  He went deeper and deeper until he was completely inside you, filling you up.  The stretch was slightly painful, but it felt so good all you could do was make incoherent half sentences.
“Move please” was apparently the only thing Ben needed before he pulled out and started to really fuck you.
“Shiiiiiit!”  You started clawing at his back, leaving marks of your own on him.  You could feel your second orgasm building each time he entered you.  You could feel Ben hitting your sweet spot with almost every thrust of his hips. You hadn’t been this full in a long time and fuck, had you missed it.  
“I’m so close,” Ben grunted.  
“Let go, Benny, you can let…”
With that, Ben painted your walls white, sending you over the edge as well. The two of you rode out your orgasms together, keeping each other close.  Once you both were done, Ben rested his forehead to yours and smiled.
“Wow,” he breathed out.  
“You could say that again,” you laughed quietly and kissed him.  You could still taste some of yourself on him.
“I’m going to pull out now, alright?”  
You nodded.  Ben slowly pulled himself out and stood up.  
“W…where are you going?” You asked, weirdly nervous that he was just going to leave.
Ben smiled at you, and kissed your forehead.  
“I’m getting us a washcloth so that we can clean up.”  
You hummed at him and then closed your eyes.  You heard him go into the bathroom and then come back.  You opened your eyes and gave him a lazy smile.  
“God, you’re beautiful,” Ben whispered so quietly that you weren’t sure if you were meant to hear it or not.  Ben sat next to you on the bed and handed you the wash cloth.  
You cleaned yourself up and then stood up yourself.  
“I’ll be right back,” you gave Ben a quick kiss and then went into the bathroom.
You put the washcloth in the hamper and then looked at yourself in the mirror.  
“Holy shit,” you muttered to yourself.  Your makeup and hair were a mess, but that was nothing compared to your neck.  There were bruises and hickeys everywhere.  How were you supposed to cover those up for the next few days?  
You got ready for bed by taking your makeup off and taking your hair all the way down.  You walked back out to see Ben lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.  
“Hey,” you said softly to him.  
He looked up at you and then opened his arms to you.  
You jumped on the bed and then fell next to him.  He laughed and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you to his chest.
“I forgot how amazing we are at that.”  
“You know the last time we did that we got Eliza, right?”
That made Ben laugh.  “Well, maybe we’ll get lucky again.”
You cocked an eyebrow at him.  
“You want more kids?  Now?”
Ben shrugged and stroked your arm.  
“Maybe not right now, but, I mean…we always talked about a lot of kids.”
That made you laugh.  “Yeah, we did, huh?”  
Ben pressed his lips to your hair.  
“We can talk about this all later.  Right now, I think we both need some sleep.”  
“Please?  Between champagne and two orgasms, you’re lucky I’m even remotely lucid right now.”
Ben grabbed the comforter and pulled it over the two of you before he wrapped his arms around again.  You rested your head on his chest again and closed your eyes, listening to his heartbeat, which was still beating a little fast.  
“Night, Ben.”
“Night, Y/N.”  
Just as you started to drift off, you heard him whisper “I love you”.  
“I love you too.”

All Aboard the Hardy Boys — Thoughts on: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon (TRN)
Previous Metas: SCK/SCK2, STFD, MHM, TRT, FIN, SSH, DOG, CAR, DDI, SHA, CUR, CLK
Hello and welcome to a Nancy Drew meta series! 30 metas, 30 Nancy Drew Games that I’m comfortable with doing meta about. Hot takes, cold takes, and just Takes will abound, but one thing’s for sure: they’ll all be longer than I mean them to be.
Each meta will have different distinct sections: an Introduction, an exploration of the Title, an explanation of the Mystery, a run-through of the Suspects. Then, I’ll tackle some of my favorite and least favorite things about the game, and finish it off with ideas on how to improve it. 
There will be an additional section between The Intro and The Title on the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Supermysteries, as this game is the first to pull from them and because the game (and the Hardy Boys) benefit from exploring and understanding that universe.
If any game requires an extra section or two, they’ll be listed in the paragraph above, along with links to previous metas.
These metas are not spoiler free, though I’ll list any games/media that they might spoil here: TRN, mention of ICE, mentions of WAC, mention of John Grey in SAW, SPY.
The Intro:
Yeah, I’m not sorry for that title.
Coming off a solid, in-joke heavy game like CLK, Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon could have been anything — and it rose to the occasion like few other games in the entire series. It was the unprecedented 13th game in a 12-game series, and boy did they start the next phase with a bang.
Our next jet-setting game, we leave 1930s Titusville behind in favor of the modern day — albeit the modern day inside a train from the late 1800s, staffed with every kind of celebrity from the 2000s — socialites, authors, tv personalities, and Miami-Vice-meets-Ice-T cops.
Honestly, had they included a teenybopper pop star, I would have said that this game wasn’t just an excellent game, but a time capsule for 2005.
This odd location for a game not only solidifies its place in the Jetsetting Games, it also behaves as a Locked Room Mystery, the first one in a while (FIN being the only other one so far). Nancy can’t leave the train until 2/3rds through the game — but neither can anyone else, resulting in not only the perfect place to commit a crime, but also the perfect place to interrogate suspects.
TRN is perhaps most famous for its on-screen appearance of the Hardy Boys, who invite Nancy with them on this invite-only trip to make it more fun for themselves (and so that HER could experiment with playing from a non-Nancy [and even better, a Frank] point of view, even if it is just to make cheeseburgers). Honestly, it should be famous for it. 
Not only is this a huge mechanics change, but it also blasts open the Nancy Drew Universe — the Drewniverse, if you will — and introduces both the games and players to the world of the 80s/90s Supermysteries by basing itself on #8 of the series, aptly titled Mystery Train (which we’ll talk about in the following section).
TRN also boasts one of the largest casts in the Nancy Drew games series, with 7 voiced in-person characters, two phone friends, and 3 extras. The choice to put in more characters into a smaller location really helps the locked room feel of the game, and leads to a game that is slightly more centered around interrogation than concrete investigation (which is the correct choice for a locked room mystery).
While TRN’s historical backstory isn’t quite prominent enough to get its own section here, it is worth dipping our toes in it here in the intro section. This game’s backstory (handled with a light hand) takes place during the late 1800s and finishes early years of the 1900s — 1903, to be exact, during the Edwardian Era and before World War I — when Jake Hurley’s beautiful train is found abandoned with only the dead engineer onboard. It overlaps with the Colorado Gold Rush in the United States, where Americans and immigrants alike made a mad dash out west in order to strike it rich.
This was a time when trains were the beautiful and incredibly fast (relatively) way to travel in America, especially out west as they were safer and quicker than taking the route in covered wagons or handcarts. Public trains were well-furnished and comfortable, but private trains like Jake Hurley’s were luxuriously and gorgeously decorated with all the amenities that were possible at the time and were meant to entertain guests as well as convey them from point A to point B.
The lush decorations in Camille and Jake’s cars are especially good representations of just how comfortable and flashy private trains could be; these trains that exist today in museums or private collections recall a bygone age where travel was a thing to look forward to, rather than a necessary evil to be suffered through.
The last bit of introduction I’ll do for TRN proper before we delve into the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew supermysteries is its wonderful way with locations. By limiting its locations to really one at a time, TRN very neatly creates a semi-linear playthrough while still allowing the player the freedom to solve Jake and Camille’s mysteries in most any order they choose. It’s a great trick to make the game feel a bit more open while still telling a linear story, and TRN pulls it off better than most other early Nancy games.
Now that we’ve introduced the game, let’s get on to the Drewniverse.
The Supermysteries:
Pairing Nancy Drew actively with the Hardy Boys (live and in person) was hardly a new thing in 2005, even though it was the first time it had been accomplished in the game series’ history. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew TV series from the 70s was the first big screen meetup of the two sleuthing parties, both owned by the Stratmeyer Syndicate. 
While the earlier episodes of the show trade back and forth between Nancy and the boys, the second season saw increasingly frequent mashups of the two separate storylines, allowing for much bigger risks and much more satisfying stories — and, of course, the now famous love line between Nancy Drew and Frank Hardy.
After the TV show, there was now an uptick in Nancy/Hardy Boys interest — the two had become linked by more than just the Syndicate. That interest created the space for the 80s/90s series of books referred to as the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Supermysteries (not to be confused with the series of the same name that came out after the turn of the millennium, which are less flirty, less well-written, and much shorter as a series).
Wildly popular, the Supermysteries have 36 titles to their name and span over a decade of heart-racing, Nancy-tingling fun. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew are either assigned to sister cases or discover the other party on the same case, and take turns helping the other out. Often, Joe separates (sometimes with whatever party Nancy brings along or with a pretty suspect) and leaves Nancy and Frank to work in tandem, giving opportunities for the two sleuths to flirt (and sometimes more) in relative peace.
If there’s one thing that the Supermysteries are really famous for, however, it’s the relationship between Nancy and Frank. Seemingly every book starts with reminding us that Frank and Nancy both have “steadies” back home, to use Dave Gregory’s terminology, and then promptly describing Frank as an Adonis and setting Nancy’s “tingle” (80s/90s code for arousal) ablaze as they work in closer and closer quarters and have some Experiences together, including an on-screen kiss and a sexy fade-to-black — and then reluctantly going back to their boyfriend/girlfriend at the end of the book.
TRN is based specifically on parts of Supermystery #8, Mystery Train, where the Hardy Boys are lured in by the promise of $25k if they can find the Comstock Diamond, stolen 15 years earlier. Nancy happens to be on the same train, accompanied by the best of the best sleuths of the day — and a beautiful actress that catches Joe’s attention.
You can see the ties to TRN — a ‘beautiful’ socialite, a band of detectives and researchers, a lost treasure — all present in both the book and the game. Though the game takes a slightly different course, it owes its strong foundation to the Supermystery that proceeded it.
The Title:
Harking back to Supermystery #8 (Mystery Train), Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon is one of the finest titles that HER ever came up with. Appropriately pulpy, it gives a sense of urgency, history, and mystery all at once while still pointing to the focal point of the game: the train.
After playing the game, it’s also a little ironic — it might be the last train to Blue Moon Canyon, but it’ll hardly be the last visitor to the historic spot, once the world gets wind of exactly what was there and the history behind it.
Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon is honestly a much better title than Mystery Train, and the title (plus the wonderful cover art) is part of the reason that this game is so well-known among casual and hardcore fans alike.
The Mystery:
Summoned by her good (phone) friends the Hardy Boys, Nancy embarks on a train ride to Blue Moon Canyon, the last known location of wealthy eccentric Jake Hurley’s personal train, and rumored to be the spot where he left his treasure. The train having been purchased and restored by socialite Paris Hil — ah, I mean Lori Girard, it once again houses the notable travelers of the day…and possibly the spirit of Jake Hurley’s wife, Camille.
Not 10 minutes into their journey, Lori disappears with a scream and a crash, and the hunt is on — not only to find their missing hostess, but to unravel the secrets of Jake Hurley’s train, Camille’s ghost, and the treasure that may be hiding in Blue Moon Canyon. It won’t be an easy task even for three seasoned teen sleuths, not with a cagey wonder-cop, irritable historical romance writer, and techy ghost hunter all trying to keep their motivations and actions a mystery.
TRN is superb in most respects, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the mystery is 90% perfect — barring one unfortunate plot point, which I’ll cover in at least 3 sections below, and the next paragraph. Tightly paced with suspicion spread thickly and nigh-evenly, TRN doesn’t run into the trouble of knowing who the culprit is from the first 20 minutes of the game and doesn’t feel the need to clear one suspect earlier than the others so that they can help Nancy — Frank and Joe take that job instead, leaving a pretty clear field through most of the game.
The biggest problem with TRN is the identity of the “final” culprit — that is, the culprit who leaves Nancy behind in the crumbling mine in order to generate some good publicity for herself and who knows about Jake Hurley’s final “treasure” all along: Lori. Her reveal as the first culprit is wonderful and logical, even if it’s not too hard to figure out that she kidnapped herself. Her reveal as the second culprit, however, is so odd and against her character that it doesn’t just feel like a mistake — it actually reads as a mistake as well.
To have the entire game culminate in a culprit that 1) doesn’t make any sense to be the culprit and 2) must behave in a completely out-of-character way in order to be the culprit is the one black mark on TRN’s otherwise spotless record. Other than that, this mystery is one of the best of the series so far and is a fully enjoyable ride from start to almost-finish.
The Suspects:
Lori Girard, Paris-Hilton-expy and socialite extraordinaire, is the hostess of the little trip down to Blue Moon Canyon with a streak of ruthless camera-whoring that nearly matches the level of the other camera whore on board (see next suspect).
Lori is, rather gloriously, the first culprit — the one who kidnapped herself, showing her love for flair, her smarts, and her enjoyment of detective stories. Kidnapping herself is right along with the character we see she has, and makes so much sense that it doesn’t feel like a let-down that the player (and a few other characters) figure it out — rather, it feels like her character is introduced strongly and well.
Lori is, completely unbelievably, the second culprit as well. Lori’s previous stunts — i.e. her previous ‘kidnapping’ before the story begins, the train disappearance — involve herself, have no danger to them at all, are intensely theatrical, and rely on the willing cooperation of others. Trapping Nancy in the mine and trying to kill her doesn’t involve Lori at all, has a ton of danger (not to mention a death toll), and isn’t theatrical at all — it happens all ‘off camera’.
We’ll get to more problems with this in The Unfavorite, but making Lori the second culprit was a huge mistake, and her character — and the game — suffer from it.
Tony Balducci is a self-described wonder cop and sometime lover of Lori who wants nothing more than to toot his own horn…provided he leaves out some of the less flattering notes. Having caught two bank robbers by luckily being in the right place at the right time, Tony now tries to live up to the name of ace detective — mainly by being a giant douchebag towards everyone.
As a culprit, Tony would have been an interesting choice, as someone driven by the hanging spectre of his own ego, desperately trying to catch it while knowing deep down that he’s just not good enough to do so. He’s just a little too obvious, a little too hateable, and a little too in-your-face to be the proper culprit for this game.
He instead lives to fight another day to show up in ICE, where no one asked for nor wanted him. A douche to the end.
Charleena Purcell of Secret of Shadow Ranch fame is live and in person this time, having accepted Lori’s invitation out of curiosity for what really happened to Jake — and a bit of a guilty conscience.
As a reoccurring character, Charleena wasn’t going to be the culprit, but I do love that she’s a character who does some morally questionable things — like taking Lori’s suggestions for a new book and incorporating them without crediting Lori. While legally she’s fine, it is a total dick move, and she deserves to get reamed for it.
I love that Charleena’s a bit uptight and snappy while still being a ‘good guy’ (or at least not a baddie), and I do love that she did something wrong that has no impact on the actual crime at all. While she’s not in my top 5 of reoccurring characters/characters that appear in more than one game, she is a nice representation of what most authors are like (dedicated researchers and hard workers, not people who have wacky hijinks with the mystical people in their head that talk to them).
John Grey is a ghost hunter who relies more on tech than on spiritual intuition and hosts his own TV show dedicated to proving the existence of ghosts and spirits. He’s convinced — or rather really hoping — that he can prove the existence of Camille’s ghost and attribute her power to all the wacky things happening on the train.
He also really hates it when Nancy plays the piano around his sensitive audio equipment, which is the biggest reason to play the piano around his sensitive audio equipment that I can think of.
Heartbreakingly, John is the perfect culprit; he lies just under the radar enough not to be immediately obvious, but isn’t immediately discounted either. He also has the perfect motivation: with his show failing, he really needs a show-stopping apparition like Camille’s ghost to boost his ratings and save his show. He’d be an Abby Sideris-type culprit Writ Large, but this time he’d be manipulating people’s perceptions of an actual ghost that truly exists on the train.
John’s status as, frankly, no villain at all is the single biggest flaw in TRN, and it makes me sad every time I play it.
Listed officially as a suspect, Fatima of Copper Gorge is a Charleena fangirl and taffy enthusiast, with a temper as wide as Copper Gorge itself. She constantly wears an old-timey miner’s costume — foam head mask and all — and can apparently even sleep in it.
As a culprit, Fatima would have obviously been a poor choice for a Nancy Drew style game — she barely appears, and is there for a puzzle and a task and that’s pretty much it. She is however incredibly intriguing, as…well, she never takes off the mask. As a fair-play mystery, Fatima was never an option; she does stand out among all masked characters as one of the few that is never revealed to the player/Nancy.
Though they’re not officially suspects, the Hardy Boys both deserve a breakdown in this area.
Franklin Hardy is the elder of the two and barely counts as a teenager (being 19), though he does work for ATAC (American Teens Against Crime, which is the funniest acronym in the world). Detail-oriented with a dry sense of humor, Frank is the de facto leader of the Hardy Boys and far less hot-headed than his brother Joe.
A great researcher and planner, Frank knows a little bit about almost everything, and is more cautious (as most older siblings are) about the danger of any particular situation than either Joe or Nancy tend to be. Fiercely loyal and indisputably protective, Frank believes in the power of teamwork and is constantly on watch for people who might want to hurt his friends and family. In SPY, his bio specifies a “strong connection to [Nancy]” as not only an example of this loyalty but also as a point towards his feelings for her.
It would do Frank a disservice to boil his entire characterization down to his relationship with Nancy, but it is worth mentioning briefly. There are hints of his affection towards Nancy pre-TRN, but it’s really post-TRN that it kicks into high gear (probably because of working in close circumstances with her during TRN).
TRN is, possibly coincidentally and possibly not, the last game where Wayne Rawley voices Frank, as the man/myth/legend Jonah Von Spreecken takes over in the next game Danger by Design. Not only is JVS’s Frank a little less subtle about his feelings for Nancy, he’s also a little younger sounding (more like his actual age) and a little more enthusiastic (while still being very dry). As any reader of any of these metas could probably tell you, I find JVS’s Frank to be the best of his VAs, and he’s only enhanced when Nik takes over from WAC on.
Joseph Hardy, to contrast, is the 18 year old younger brother (and, if HER is working off the supermysteries, skipped a grade to be in Frank’s graduating class) and the more impulsive of the two. Generally laid-back in contrast to Frank’s meticulous nature, Joe is no less quick and is noted in his character bio from SPY to be an “extremely proficient tactician” — a role generally reserved by lesser writers for more uptight characters.
While easily distracted and a bit prone to conspiracy theories, Joe is quick to discover interpersonal links and motives and is at least somewhat handy with mechanics. His seemingly odd fixations usually lead (in a roundabout way) to finding out the truth behind crimes and leading him to a cool treasure or historical fact along the way. He’s big-picture in a way that Frank is not, which helps him both as he sifts through Nancy’s mysteries, and when he and Frank are on the job for ATAC.
As of Lani’s departure as Nancy Drew, Rob Jones (Joe’s voice actor) is the only VA to have voiced the same character for the entirety of their presence in the series. As much as I praise JVS in all of his roles (Frank and others) Rob really deserves 90% of the credit for Joe being as loved and wonderful as he is. Rob’s voice gives Joe the correct amount of youthful enthusiasm, glee in bad puns, and continual just plain enjoyment of the world he lives in and the job he has.
The Favorite:
If it wasn’t obvious, TRN is one of my favorite Nancy Drew games — definitely in the top 5, almost definitely in the top 3 — and that makes this section really easy.
First off is the physical presence of the Hardy Boys. It feels really natural to have them appear after being in most of the games leading up to TRN, and they make every second of this game better. From Joe’s cheeseburger face to playing briefly as Frank and eavesdropping (a minigame that would reach its Pinnacle in WAC) to watching Nancy sit down with the boys and pow-wow to figure out the mysteries, the Hardy Boys are a delight from beginning to end,
My favorite moment in the game is that lovely moment where Nancy sees Camille’s ghost dancing along the train window. Camille’s spirit looks so cheerful and effervescent, gently bubbling along her beloved husband’s train, and it’s a beautiful moment. 
It’s also a crucial moment in the Nancy Drew game series and lore as a whole, as it, for the first time, clearly and plainly establishes what it’s hinted at since MHM — that in the Nancy Drew universe, ghosts and spirits are real. They’re almost never the culprit, and they don’t often look like Scary Cartoon ghosts, but they’re real all the same. This moment does so much for the game and for the series that it will forever be one of my favorite moments in the series, not just in this game.
My favorite puzzle would have to be finding and placing all the gemstones. I’ve always loved gemstones, and this game really increased my love of them (and interest in their meanings/folklore). Figuring out which animal goes with which stone — and mastering what the “hand from the deep” actually looks like — is a lot of fun, and the animatic of all the different parts whirring and coming together is beautiful. It’s often placed alongside one of the best quotes of this game: “above all…let nothing happen to my train; it holds wonderful things”.
 I also love the “true treasure” of the game; sure, Nancy’s line about friendship is a bit corny, but ND has always been a bit corny, and it’s a wonderful sentiment that a true gift can simply be your ability to make connections, rather than any material possessions or social standing.
Camille is one of my favorite “historical characters” in the series, and I know I’ve mentioned her ghost just above, but I love how personal and friendly she feels; you really do get the sense as the player that she’s there, helping Nancy along. It’s Jake’s mystery, and Jake’s mine, Jake’s friends, and Jake’s treasure, but to me, Jake Hurley’s train forever belongs to Camille.
The Un-Favorite:
As far as my least favorite puzzle in TRN goes…I don’t think I have one. I enjoy all of them for their varied styles, their tie-ins to the time period and to palace trains in general – they don’t exactly feel like puzzles, even, more like well-integrated plot points. I think this is one of the few — if not the only one — that absolutely no puzzle comes to mind, so good on TRN.
Alright, you knew it was coming. My least favorite moment in the game is where Lori reveals herself as the second culprit and tries to trap Nancy in the crumbling mine (and the fallout in the letter Nancy writes). I’ve already gone into how Lori makes no sense as the actual culprit from a characterization point of view — and TRN runs on characterization — so I won’t repeat it. But I do have problems with it besides that.
TRN feels like it was set up to have a “culprit” — Lori, kidnapping herself — and then an actual culprit. Lori wanting to find Jake’s treasure as a publicity thing is totally fine, but the whole mystery feels like there’s another sinister presence working on Lori and the rest of the cast the entire time, trying to steer them to where they want them for their own machinations.
It would shock me not at all to find out that this scenario was the original plan, cut for time. TRN came out in mid-September of 2005, not even two months after CLK. While I know that different games are worked on simultaneously, that’s still quite a quick schedule to keep — especially since game #13 (TRN) wasn’t in the cards at all, the game series meant to be 12 games in total.
The ending feeling slapdash — “ah, we don’t have time to work out a criminal, let’s just have it be Lori again” — isn’t shocking looking at the timetable and circumstances behind TRN even becoming a game. While I understand it, I feel like the lack of thought put into the last 5 minutes or so of the game is really noticeable, and undermines both character and theming.
The Fix:
So how would I fix Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon?
Unsurprisingly (and since the rest of the game is borderline perfect), the one change/fix I would make is to the identity of the final culprit. John’s ‘arc’ is somewhat anticlimactic — he’s the only character to sort of drop off the face of the game at the 2/3rds mark — and I truly believe that it’s because the seeds are there to reveal him as the true villain, but it was never carried out.
My proposal is this: the vast majority of the game stays exactly as it is. Lori kidnaps herself, is found by Nancy, and rewards her by giving her all the information she has about the location of the mine — there being a small reference to Jake receiving a letter from an “important friend” or some such descriptor.
Nancy, of course, wonders briefly about the letter and then moves on to solving the location of the mind, working in tandem with the Hardy Boys — but because John has listening devices all over the train, he hears about the letter and begins to research on a hunch that this letter has information that can help him “establish” Camille’s ghost better and make her hauntings more plausible.
In this canon, of course, John’s show really is on the brink of being cancelled without being picked up by any major network, and his paranormal tours that the player finds out about in SAW (and is referenced again in TMB) aren’t doing so well either, so he needs a huge boost to his credibility. Camille’s story — and the treasure/letter that Jake Hurley left behind — is the perfect thing to get him back on top, if he could just get the nosy detectives out of the way.
By listening in on Nancy and the Hardy Boys, John knows just as much as they do — and more, thanks to his research team for Ghost Chasers turning up a connection between Jake and Abraham Lincoln — and decides that the best way to frame this for his show is to have “Camille’s wrath” come upon the uppity teen detective, collapsing the mine to protect Jake’s treasure as soon as she finds it (and he can take it from her).
Used to working in the dark and moving quietly, John, directed by Lori (who he’s manipulated into having him follow Nancy with cameras to capture the moment), follows Nancy into the mine, helping out with a few “good guesses” (actually his knowledge from listening in and researching) and snapping a few pictures of the treasure when they find it. After asking Nancy to hand him Lincoln’s letter so that he can film it better, John runs out of the room and blocks up the exit, standing outside to gloat to Nancy.
John talks about how he manipulated Lori, how he listened in, how this is the thing he needs to boost his show up to be the most-watched program in the ghost hunting business, how clever he was to run rings around Tony, Lori, Charleena, and most of all the Hardy Boys and Nancy herself. He then tells Nancy that she won’t live to tell the tale, but he’ll get footage of “Camille” causing a quake in the mine to protect her husband’s treasure — running as the mine begins to collapse.
From there, the game would continue as normal until Nancy catches the culprit (the only difference being who the culprit is) and rides to safety.
While this section seems really long, this change isn’t actually that big in the scheme of things — it just makes far more sense to have Lori only be the first culprit while having the second culprit be someone with a lot more to lose and a lot more to gain. In general with mysteries, your culprit should always be the person with the most to lose (though the detective and/or player shouldn’t know how much everyone has to lose from the beginning), and John suits that far more than Lori does.
That being said, this is the only change I’d make; I think the rest of the game not only was great at the time of its release but has also stood the test of time a decade and a half later. The change I’ve proposed would simply take the game from being a classic with a slight blemish to a truly perfect game.

So just binged Titans (2018) on Netflix and -
I want to say stuff. Lets start with the basics. I’m not a hardcore DC comics fan. I’m your occasional TV viewer who watched Teen Titans, and loved the Batman cartoons. I’m your ordinary Joe. That would mean, for me, this show is my introduction into these characters. I’m viewing these stories as manifestations of archetypes, I am not familiar with “classic” characterizations, or “the right way of this one to talk” and so on.
I enjoyed the show a lot. Like, I literally binged the whole two seasons in the expense of some very cherished sleep time. It sucked me in.
And I became very curious about the backgrounds of the characters, and I looked some of it up (fucked up stuff! good!) and I was interested in maybe some reviews or hardcore fans sating their... say.
And. Guys. Guys.
So much negativity? Over... it being too violent?... Too dark...? Too... new?
I watched this show right now with virgin eyes. And I have to say that, 
A. Dick Grayson of this Titans is the definition of “Dick Move”, and is literally trope co founder. And I love it. GO GRAY MORALITY GO. Also his introduction was. GOOD STUFF. I am rooting for this broken brain. His choices and inner struggles were very intriguing to watch, also his choices, morals and oh overall, a beautiful rendition of an adult, a grownup person that comes to terms with some very fucked up implicaitons.
B. For all the reviewers trashing Raven, calling her OOC and HotTopicRaven, guys, F U I loved her, I loved Teen Titans Raven as a kid, and this one is 16 and goddammit she is allowed to be emo and rock her style. And that she does. The “possession” thing she has is creepy cringe AWESOME STUFF. She rocks it, The actress ROCKS IT. Her whole journey was so engaging. TEAM RAVEN!
C. I was not familiar with Hawk and Dove, but I’m here rooting for them. Like full on SHIP THAT SHIP. I want them to be together, and I don’t care they broke my heart and then patched it up and I’m here for this couple.
D. Gar. OH PRECIOUS GAR, thanQ for righting the wrongs of decades of werepeople by transforming in and out while naked. I’m just so so grateful for this, but also, SO SO likable and the amount of empathy that was dragged out of me for the poor dude, I just want more screen time of him doing whatever he wants to do. I will literally watch an episode of Gar making various veggie shakes. I would. But also I want him to have more plot. Like, yesterday.
E. Kory/Starfire. Whoever trashes her costumes, go sleep on some legos. She rocks it, the actress rocks it, SHE ROCKS THAT RING ON HER LONG BEAUTIFUL FINGERS, and if anyone even dares to oink anything about her being black as apologetic, I say F U, she literally ABSORBS SUN POWER in this version, that melanin is rightfully hers. Also if you want to call me racist have fun, but I love the idea that genetics are applied with scientific purposes rather then, just, um, representation fodder launching pad. Fuck this shit, SHE IS THE SUN, GORGEOUS SUN. I love her discovery of self, maybe a hasty one. but damn poignant. I enjoyed her way of going around not remembering who she is. I root for her and her upcoming clash with her sister.
D. Donna. I kinda felt she will be in and then out and I didn’t really get attached to her BUT she was introduced as this very independent and firmly grounded person, and I was so happy to see her keeping her ground, good for her.
E. Jason Todd. Now here is a surprise. What a bomb of character that one. Now after doing minimal research about the fucked up origins of that one, I wasn’t surprised to see how he is probably the most twist and broken mess of them all. And he is the embodiment of DC’s wrongs, so it seems. This one is the ghost that Corp couldn’t get rid of or something. This one carries so so much nuance. But what really got me is how ensemble DarkHorse this one is. The actor is amazing. It reminds me how Dylan O’Brien of Teen Wolf out-shined the ever-living crap out of his co-stars cast back in the day. This one has similar energy. I literally squeezed on my couch into a little bulb of fright and pity when he had his outburst in front of Rose. His violence is so spot on brutal - I mean, while Dick’s violence is vicious, this one is brutal and I’m here for this. Also, his very introduction? Shivers down my spine and that feeling of “shit he had it REAL BAD as a kid. THE WORST”.
E.02 I... don’t care for Rose. Right now anyway. Maybe later on with her half brother as her copilot in S3? We’ll see. For now...? meh Sorry. 
F. Conner. From the very moment the name Superman was dropped I was like, there is going to be a supersomething. Now I am not familiar with all the comics and I barely remember Teen Titans, but I am on tumblr, so. OK his origins are creepy AF, also intriguing, and Lex, you obsessed fucker. GOOD. But then Jason was falling of the building and it was literally 2+2 “oh Conner is gonna save the poor soul”, but oh no they had to go full-on “catch you as you fall Lois Lane style” but except no flying up - instead crashing on a car. This character, just broke out of a laboratory, had a random journey, and was alive for like two days in total just to be at the right time at the right place to save Jason falling from that building? ?? What am I suppose to do with this information??? I mean, Someone DID THIS.  And I mean, that is kinda spot on.  The writers should be VERY CAREFUL NOW with that, coz it can be either beautiful stuff or a very gruesome publicity fodder. 
G. THEME. This Titans is. HORRIFICALLY IN YOUR FACE OOZES DARK TRAUMA AND CHILD ABUSE. While watching it I lost count of either abused/used children and crappy fathers. Dick is introduced while investigating a child abuse case. Raven was literally conceived so her demonic father could pass through her into this world. AND SO ON. And that literally includes Bruce and Dick themselves under that category, as the bad fathers. GOOD STUFF. You should really meditate on that. The amount of usage of children under the hands of adults in all the verity of forms, from sexual assault and rape and whatever violence to selling for profit (Conner is brainwashed and has a bid put on him, as a soldier for sale. He is a few weeks old.) is shockingly overwhelming. Like, this is THE THEME. Obviously this is a Found Family Trope kind of show, but oh my GOD they all are running from is just like, I dunno a mass of horny catholic priests? 
IN CONCLUSION
Titans may have a messy output with many plots but it is not that hard to follow. It’s not just darker and edgier, it’s just NOT THAT COMIC. This seems to be a show that might tackle some of the darkest stuff media doesn’t outright... tackles. It’s more then just “oh crap daddy issues”. It has the actual feeling of  “I will not be avenged. How do I move forward. Who needs me, who do I need to heal?” If it plays it right, it can be a thing of beauty. Or, if it will hear to all those negative shallow reviews, it will go crashing down in shamble. 
Signed, a satisfied, average viewer.
