#@airenyah has so many profound and vasts analysis about these characters journey I think some of you might like them (@benkaben)

here's a masterlist of my style meta series, if anyone is curious <3

this meta series is basically my own love letter to style the character and dunk's portrayal of him. and especially the metas about eps 1-5 go into detail about how i see style falling in love with fadel

why u like fadelstyle so much? the show ended and i still don't feel like theres love between them, same with all jd couples they don't seem like a couple at all

oh man how to answer this in a way that will do fadelstyle justice? I think @secriden and @bentnotbroken1fanfiction have much better, very in depth analysis of them as a pair and their wonderful dynamic.

but for me personally? simply, it's a type of love that I'm looking for. my personality is very similar to fadel's, the way style always goes out of his way to understand him and push back against all of fadels attempts to push him away - it really warms my heart.

they see each other, do you understand? style guesses that fadel could be a hitman, even if it was just a joke - style always saw him for who fadel is and fadel has been in wanting for that devotion, fadel has been aching to just be held and be able to fall apart - when fadel goes to prison style keeps his dream alive. fadel finally found someone who can understand how much he's had to give, how much he's always had to put himself second, someone who appreciates fully when fadel does it for him - I think style is the only person who's ever even attempted to feel the extent of fadel's sacrifice let alone tell him that he's deserving of the same and then go out and do it.

joongdunk have so subliminally portrayed that growing trust between them, that lived through all of fadel's anger at being betrayed, all of style's fear of fadel's dangerous life. they've just done so well to show what it means to slowly make space for each other, to fall in love through a gradual understanding of each other, I really felt that no matter what happened between them no matter how angry they were or how much distance there was between them every episode fadel and style loved each other more than the last.

fadel and style's romance is one of my favorite couple dynamics period I'm sorry you didn't feel it and even though we are allowed to interpret shows differently and like different things its a pity that I have no way to make you experience the beauty with which they touched my heart.

[elliebean714]

Hello I have a request I would like to make and I also have a few words to say. I wanted to say I really love your writing style and I aspire to be a great writer like you! anyway back to my request. can I request a platonic yandere C.C. (crying child / Evan Afton) X Michael Afton? I just saw a fan fic where Michael was the platonic yandere. And now I wanna see C.C. being the protective one. I am pretty sure it would be hard to make considering how Michael tormented him and because of the the bite of 83. You don't have to do it if you don't want to but I also wanted to ask if I can send you a fan art I made for you? I really love your work and wanted to tell you about how much you helped me in my writing. I am so much better at grammar and writing because of you thank you!

Omfgggggg I'm sobbing OF COURSE YOU CAN SEND ME FAN ART IM SO HONOURED😭💖 YOURE SO SWEET THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING ALL THIS I LOVE YOU😭💕😭💕🥺💕💖💖💕😭😭 I really hope you like this I kinda took some creative liberties. This is probably not what you had in mind sorry I get very distracted 😭 this is more sad than yandere but I did my best. Heavily inspired by fnaf 4. BTW shoutout to markipliers fnaf playlist, for playing in the background whilst I wrote this, thanks champ!

Yandere-Ish!Evan Afton x Michael Afton (Platonic)

CW~ Child Abuse, Panic Attacks, Everything You'd Expect.

Angst

Evan loved his big brother. He loved spending time with Michael, even though it was clear to anyone else that Michael despised Evan. Why else would he torment him frequently? But Evan never saw anything wrong with Michael's actions, they were just having fun. Just two brothers having fun.

Due to William and Michael's treatment of Evan, he often had nightmares, and he often went to Michael for comfort in the middle of the night.

"Michael?" Evan whimpered, waking him up by gently shaking his arm.

"What?" Michael sighed groggily, rubbing his tired eyes.

"I had a nightmare." Evan choked on a small sob, "Can I sleep with you tonight?" He wiped his snotty nose against his pajamas sleeve.

"Gross, no." Michael stated firmly, turning to face the wall.

"Please." Evan begged, sniffling, "Please Mike."

As much as he hated to admit it, hearing Evan cry in fear hurt Michael a lot. He never hated Evan, but their father trained Michael to be just as cruel as he was.

"Fine." Michael sighed, turning back towards Evan, who smiled gleefully as he gently placed his favourite Fredbear plush on the bed beside Michael before swiftly jumping on himself.

"Thank you." Evan smiled into Michael's side, cuddling Fredbear close. Michael reluctantly wrapped an arm around Evan. Evan smiled brighter as he did so. He knew that he was safe with Michael, he would keep the nightmares away.

5 Days Until The Party.

What Did He Do This Time?

He Locked You In Your Room Again.

Don't Be Scared I Am Here With You.

Evan didn't know why, why would he not want to spend time with him? Did he do something wrong?

No. No. Michael was just being silly, he was just playing a joke on Evan. That's all this was, just a fun prank.

Evan banged on the door.

"Mike! Mike! This is very funny, but I've had enough! Let me out!" He called out, to no avail.

After a few moments of screaming, Evan finally gave up. He fell to the floor, sobbing loudly. Even though Michael was the reason Evan was hurting, all he wanted was to be in the reassuring and caring embrace of his big brother.

Tomorrow Is Another Day.

~~

4 Days Until The Party

You Know He Is Hiding Again.

He Won't Stop Until You Find Him.

Evan exited his room, desperately searching for Michael. Evan didn't really like hide and seek but he loved playing it with Michael. He loved doing everything with Michael.

Over There.

As Evan walked through the hallway, he felt his excitement grow. If he found Michael, they could play with his plush toys!

He noticed the snout of the Foxy mask poking out from behind the tv. Michael! Evan ran towards it, opening his arms for a surprise hug, but Michael had other plans, he jumped out from behind the tv, roaring. Michael laughed cruelly as Evan cried.

"That, that's mean!" He sobbed, but Michael kept on laughing.

Tomorrow Is Another Day.

~~

3 Days Until The Party.

He Left Without You.

He Knows That You Hate It Here.

You Are Right Beside The Exit. If You Run, You Can Make It.

Michael left him alone. He didn't mean it, why would he mean it? He loves his brother, he'd never leave him alone in here intentionally. Evan lay on the floor crying, until he found confidence to stand. He slowly picked himself up and ran to the exit. Becoming frozen with fear as an animatronic suddenly stood in front of him.

It's Too Late. Hurry The Other Way And Find Someone Who Will Help! You Know What Will Happen If He Catches You!

Evan quickly turned and ran into the party room, frantically looking for an adult to help. Unfortunately all that could be found in the room were two more animatronics.

You Can Find Help If You Can Get Past Them. You Have To Be Strong.

Tears begin to flood Evans eyes again. He tries to force himself to continue forward, but the sickening terror forces him back. Then the animatronic was in front of him again. There is no escape. There is no hope. Just curl up and cry.

Tomorrow Is Another Day.

~~

2 Days Until The Party.

He Hates You.

You Have To Get Up.

You Can Get Out This Time, But You Have To Hury.

The world is blurry due to the tears constantly flooding his eyes. Nothing is in his way now, he can go home to Michael. Evan exits the horrible building, occasionally chatting with other children on his way home. Once he reached the driveway, he ran to the front door, closing it behind him.

Be Careful.

Evan felt extremely relieved to finally be home. He called out for Michael but got no response. Okay, they were playing hide and seek, where would Michael hide?

Evan creeped towards his room, Michael was obviously hiding in his closest, that's were Foxy always was. He gently opened the door to his room, as soon as he took a step inside, Michael slid out from under the bed and shouted again, frightening Evan. He fell to his knees and weaped again as Michael's teasing laughter echoed in Evans head. All he wanted was to be best friends with Michael. Why was that so hard?

Tomorrow Is Another Day

~~

1 Day Until The Party

Please Let Me Out.

Panic flooded through Evans terrified form as he banged on the door. He hated looking at the animatronics in working order enough, seeing their unsuited endoskeleton and old, unused parts only helped fuel the terror that was ever increasing.

PLEASE!

He screamed, he sobbed, he begged, he did everything he could.

Please let me out....

Until giving up was his only option.

~~

0 Days Until The Party

Just outside of the main party room, Evan sat in the middle, being harassed by Michael and his friends, they all had on animatronic masks. Evan didn't understand. Why was Michael being so malicious?

"Wow, your brother is kind of a baby isn't he?" The boy in the Bonnie head mocked.

"It's hilarious." The one in the Feddy head added.

"Why don't we help him get a closer look! He will love it!" Michael laughed.

"No, please!" Evan sobbed, begging.

"Come on guys, let's give this little man a lift. He wants to get up close and personal!" Michael ignored Evans pleas. The boys effortlessly lifted Evan from the ground, even as he struggled and fought.

"No I don't want to go! Michael please stop!" Evan screamed in terror as the boys transported him towards the horrifying animatronic.

"You heard the little man! He wants to get even closer!" Michael laughed tauntingly, "Hey guys, I think the little man said he wants to give Fredbear a big kiss!" He prepared them, "On three, one, two..."

The inhumane crunching sound echoed around the whole room. The boys stayed completely still, people were screaming, crying, trying to help Evan, Michael stayed still. Paralysed with fear, guilt.

~~

Can You Hear Me?

Yes, Michael, Michael's here with me!

I Don't Know If You Can Hear Me.

I can hear you Michael!

I'm Sorry.

For what? I, I know you didn't mean it.

~~

Michael would never be able to fully apologise for his actions.

All Evan ever wanted was to be friends with Michael.

Why couldn't Michael have done that for him?

Michael holds onto Evans weak hand as he expresses his remorse.

And breaks into uncontrollable sobs when he hears the flatline.

SEOKMIN IN FIRE EMBLEM AU; a headcanon list

While it doesn’t have a specific game from the series in the title, i’ll be using Three Houses as my main inspiration since it’s the one I recently played. Will not follow the game’s plot directly bc i’ll be focusing more on the school and daily life parts more lol.

Lee Seokmin, the second child and next in line to be the head of House Lee, one of the five great houses of the Leicester Alliance. His family is known to possess great vocal ability so most of them became singers and bards and well acquainted with the opera

I think he fits a class that can wield a sword the best (this is me going off on vibes alone and based it off arthur!kyeom). Personally, i’d put him as either a soldier or hero class but being part of the cavalier is good too. The thing is, Seokmin is just as skilled with a bow. Much like the other kids from the leicester alliance, he’s been trained to be able to use one with great accuracy but after trying a sword, he found it much more comfortable to use.

Final verdict — his starting class is hero.

Seokmin is a protector. He will, instinctively, gladly take the hit for you. The type to subtly pull you behind him when on the battlefield bc he’d rather have you out of harm’s way. You know that look when he’s super focused? He eyes his enemies like a hawk, he’ll be ready to counter and block whoever is daring enough to make the first move.

But like that’s what makes it his biggest weakness too, the emotional side that comes out especially when he’s so riled up. he was once chastised by Seungcheol, after a mission went awry. He got riled up so bad, emotions blinding him that he failed to notice a teammate get tag teamed by one of the enemy soldiers. Had Jeonghan been a second late, it could’ve ended with one of them dead. They were lucky to get out alive, gravely injured but alive.

Seokmin vows never to let his rage blindside him again.

Ok but can you imagine his support dialogues? The s-support dialogue?? Gonna go insane thinking about it bc i bet it’ll be so sweet. Instead of the usually loud and energetic seokmin, we are greeted by the softer and gentler side of himself. The lover; the one who looks at you with so much affection that it manifests in the way he treats you. He talks in whispers bc he fears that any decibel higher than 40 will shatter the fragile atmosphere he has with you. Goddess forbid.

He’ll take your hand gently in his, his thumbs rubbing small circles on the back of your palm like a promise that he’ll keep the world safe for you because he’d rather go to hell first and suffer if it meant keeping the love of his life safe.

Why did I do that to myself. Plus one for shared heart clenching for a Lee Seokmin [+1]

Anyways, you’ll find Seokmin usually by the stables or the dining hall. He has an affinity with horses and often volunteers to help with the horses and pegasi. Oftentimes, you’d find him making pizza with Mingyu. The entire monastery now knows the second and third wednesdays of the month are unofficiall ‘pizza nights’.

Seokmin naturally gets along with students from the other houses. his bright disposition and easy going nature making it easy to befriend those around him. He’s kind of like a magnet? Also he sings really well, and he sings everywhere at anytime, it’s hard not to ignore him (bad thing or not).

He’s also in the choir with Seungkwan and Joshua. Jeonghan joins from time to time.
