#thank you to the lovely person who shared these

[glamourscat]

Could you please write Bruce and batboys getting jealous when they meet their crush's ex boyfriend? Her ex is as rich as Bruce, handsome and a total green flag. But they broke up in a friendly term. Upon meeting him they got jealous seeing reader and her ex are still super close. Thank you ❤️

Batboys + Bruce and their jealousy while meeting your ex

Author's Note: I decided to do a mix of a headcanon and a drabble for this one, I think it fits the vibes of the request. i hope you like it :) This is also so damn long but i am a yapper at heart

DICK GRAYSON

I see Dick as a very confident individual. I mean, he is self aware, he is beautiful, rich and overall a good guy. A catch right? (let's ignore the cheating for a moment...)

Though, Dick grew up in a rather unstable situation, to say the least. I see him as a person who craves his s/o attention on him, not necessarely 24/7, but enough to remind him "hey, I am here and I love you"

Still, when he does get jealous ━━ for example in this scenario where you're his crush and he is meeting your ex, who's as equally as handsome as him, not that he would admit to it. Rich as Bruce and a green flag on top of that?━━ damn, he is cooked lol.

His jealousy will probably stem from insecurity. Because, if this guy is rich, beautiful and a green flag too, what does Dick have to offer now? If they are on the same level, or worse, your ex is slightly higher than him ━━ truly, what cards are left for him to play?

And so, I think he would feel insecure for a moment and thats where being overly into PDA comes into place. MORE UNDER THE CUT

"You’re awfully close today. I mean, it’s not like I’m complaining, but… are you sure you're alright, Dick?" you say with a small, soft chuckle as you look at the black-haired guy who just linked his arm with yours.

"Yeah… yeah, of course! Why wouldn’t I be?" he says, offering a smile that’s a bit too tight, a bit too forced for your liking. It’s not like you're a fool; you know exactly what the problem is. You saw the way he reacted when, walking casually through Gotham, you two happened to run into your ex by pure coincidence.

His eye twitched slightly, and his gaze was darting back and forth between you and your ex. You noticed the way his arm tightened around your waist, as if to say, Back off. If you had any doubts about whether he liked you before, now you have your answer.

JASON TODD

When I think of Jay, I imagine a healed version of him. I know people like to imagine him as this broken soul, and I’m not saying he isn’t; he has his fair share of trauma. But I like to think that from coming back as Red Hood to now, the present Jason Todd, he is a changed man.

He’s no longer the insecure, abrasive teen who swore nothing but vengeance and payback for what happened to him. He has accepted what happened; that doesn’t mean he forgot, nor does this mean he forgives Bruce. It just means he has the emotional capacity to be more confident in his own being.

So, how would he react upon meeting his crush’s ex? Well, chances are, if you’re Jason’s crush, you two are friends. He’s good at many things, but flirting, romance, and putting himself out there are not some of those. By being close friends, he is probably already aware of some aspects of your past, including your ex.

Thus, when he meets your ex, he is probably as nonchalant as ever. Does he feel a bit jealous? Maybe. Will those insecurities that have haunted and stained his past try to resurface, making him second-guess himself? Also yes. But he has grown enough to know he’s better than that.

"Jay?" Your voice is soft as feathers as you look at him. His green-blue eyes are focused on browsing the books on the shelves in front of you two, as silence fills the air in the small bookshop where you two had, by chance, met your ex just moments prior.

"Hm?" he hums, not taking his eyes off the books, but keeping an eye on you with his peripheral vision.

"Are you okay? You're awfully quiet. Did I say something wrong, or…?" You trail off, but he cuts you off.

"Nope, nothing's wrong. I'm just looking for a book," he says, moving to the romance section. "You like this?" His voice is quiet, yet it holds a softness to it as he shows you a book he damn well knows is your favorite.

"I mean, yeah. It’s my favorite. Why?" Your tone is slightly confused, just as quiet as his.

He shrugs as he places the book in the small hand basket he’s holding. "Nothing. Just thought I’d buy it. I trust you and your opinion. If you say it’s good, then it is."

He knows that in that moment, not giving in, not allowing those negative emotions to resurface as they did in the past, was the best choice he could’ve made if it meant seeing your smile—so timid yet flustered—with those rosy cheeks of yours, as you try to hide your giddiness from his words.

TIM DRAKE

Ah, my favorite little gremlin. The issue I have with Tim is not with Tim himself, but with the fandom that constantly mischaracterizes him.

I’m not even going to get into the coffee addict recurring joke, but I want to focus on one thing. "Precious bean Tim". This guy is absolutely unhinged. Dick, Jason, and Damian all had their moments, but Tim? His whole being is centered around being a sarcastic, witty little shit who does the most unhinged things, and somehow, people always give him a pass. (I mean... do we need to talk about his red robin run? Or when he was dating two people at once? Or when it's canon that at first impression people feel judged by him?)

My point is, Tim is literally out of his mind lol. He struggles a lot with his emotions, we see this in his Red Robin run, how obsessive he became over the idea of finding Bruce, someone he cares for. He was spiraling bad.

His jealousy manifests in possessiveness. Mine, mine, mine. Let's not forget that Tim lost his mother, watched his father die too. He is messed up emotionally, because everything that was his has always been taken from him one way or another. First his parents, then robin mantle by Damian and even his best friend (or lover) Kon at somepoint.

"You're pouting."

"No, I am not." He says, while comically enough, pouting more. It had been about 30 minutes, give or take, since you two came back from the movie theatre. Where you and Tim had to sit through an almost 2 hours long movie with your ex as the main lead.

Was he pissed? no, no, no... why would he be? Absolutely no. Him? Tim Drake? Jealous? Pff. Definitely wasn't. And yet, he kept pressing each key of his keyboard so hard, as he typed, that you feared it might come flying at his face very soon.

"If you're jealous you can just say so you know." You say with a half amused grin. If he wanted to act like a brat, might as well enjoy it. "I mean, who wouldn't be right? My ex is after all, rich, handsome, a great ac-" your words are cut off as his face he is pretty much pressed against yours.

When the hell did he come on the bed? He was sitting at his desk just a moment ago...

"Shut up" he scoffs as his cold nose nudges yours, his hand goes to the back of your head pulling you in for a kiss. and what a kiss. His lips, slightly chapped and cold, meet yours with such ferocity you're left stunned. His body has yours pressed on his bed, as he straddles your lap. Your tongues meet as he lets out a quiet little moan as your hands go in his soft raven hair.

"fuck- i am sorry" he pants gulping, cheeks red and eyes wide, as he pulls back after a few moments in a panic. what the fuck had he just done?

"You shut up now." you say with a little grin, equally as breathless as him, as you bring back your lips against his. Losing each other in a kiss that would be just the beginning of a beautiful imperfect thing.

BRUCE WAYNE

Now, Bruce was hard to crack, for me at least. Because, I think depending on the person, the situation and how he is feeling at the current moment, he can be like any of his sons.

His jealousy is not driven by insecurity or possessiveness in the conventional sense, like Dick’s or Tim's would. Not necesseraily.

I mean, we are talking about a man with his fair share of lovers

I think his jealousy would stem from his deep emotional connections and the high stakes involved in his relationships. Sure, Tim, Dick and Jason are all vigilantes too, but Bruce is the Batman. he cannot afford, he does not have the luxury, of dating who he wants just because. It's either flings or a deep emotional connection with him.

We see him getting jealous with Selina, for example, when he feels his emotional connection getting threatened by other men she is flirting with. His jealousy is so damn complex and subtle and sometimes it shows up as in actions and decision making rather than extensive show off of jealousy.

That's why I think if he has a crush on a woman (or man), his attidute will depend on the situation they find themselves in. He might become overall more vigilant, assertive or distant base on how the event will play out.

summary: max reflects on his life.

pairing: dad! max verstappen x fem! wife! mom! reader

୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ⋅୨ৎ

The soft light of the rising sun peeked its way under the blinds of your shared bedroom as Max stirred awake. He yawned, knowing he could stay in bed a little longer, but also knowing that any moment, 2 toddlers would run in and wake the two of you up, and you deserved a bit more sleep. He quietly left your room to find his two sons, just outside the door, ready to pounce. They jumped on their father, wishing him a good morning as he chuckled, picking the both of them up. 

“Can we have pancakes for breakfast dad?” Arthur asked, pulling on his t-shirt. 

“No! We should have waffles!” Quinn argued. Those two were twins, but couldn’t be more opposite. Arthur was the quiet, polite, kind child, whereas Quinn was the crazy, funny, sweetheart. 

“What about both?” he offered, and they both nodded, a multitude of ‘thank you’s’ on their lips. 

As they walked to the kitchen and Max placed them down on the counter, giving them clear instructions to measure out the dry ingredients, Layla walked out from her room. 

“Dad!” she cheered, hugging his legs. Layla was 8. The boys were 6. Max couldn’t believe his life. He’d left F1 8 whole years ago, and he couldn’t have made a better decision. He adored being around all the time for the kids. He loved walking them to school, planning playdates with his dad friends, teaching them all about life through his lens. Honestly, he’d been terrified when he found out you were pregnant the first time. You two had been married for 2 years, but you hadn’t spoken about when you wanted to have kids. When you came to him with 3 positive pregnancy tests, teary eyes, and a growing fear, he had no other choice than to step up and comfort you. In those moments, he found himself telling you that he was scared too, but you two would do it together. The next few months had been hard. The 2024 season had been hard in general. Finding out you were pregnant halfway through was harder. As the months went on and he quit F1, he felt himself becoming increasingly nervous. He was scared. What if he would be just like his father? What if he didn’t know what to do? What would happen then? What if you left him because he couldn’t do it?

But you made all of those thoughts go away, promising him that he would be brilliant, that he was the most caring person you knew, and that the way you already loved your child was a testament to that. He’d given up his racing career to be there, he had to realise how big of a sacrifice that was, right? 

Now here he was, making his children waffles and pancakes on a Saturday morning while his wife lay in bed, getting some more rest. 

And he was happy. He was fulfilled. 

He smiled as the twins bickered over a measurement, and Layla was busy sitting on the counter explaining the newest drama of her friend group. 

When he was younger, he really questioned what he was meant to be. As much as he was an exceptional racer, he’d never felt truly satisfied, whereas he knew others who were satisfied after they won their first title. 

It all clicked the day Layla was born. He wasn’t meant to be a racer. He was meant to be a dad.

lando x reader. for his grifriends gift, he makes her a scrapbook of their whole relationship and at the end it is very cute. He can be a creative person sometimes.

The scrapbook— Lando Norris’s x reader

Word count — 609

Fluff

@diaryofarandomkid

You had always known Lando was a bit of a creative soul, but you never expected something like this.

It was your birthday, and Lando had been teasing you for weeks about your present. He was being unusually secretive about it, and despite his playful banter, you couldn’t shake the feeling that something special was in store.

When the day finally came, Lando showed up at your door with a wrapped box that seemed oddly light. Your curiosity piqued, you eagerly pulled the wrapping paper off, revealing a beautifully crafted scrapbook. The cover was simple but elegant, with a soft leather binding and “Our Story” written in gold lettering. You raised an eyebrow.

“Open it,” he said, a little shy but with that signature smirk of his.

You did as he asked, carefully flipping open the first page. There, in the center, was a photo of the two of you at the very beginning of your relationship: an impromptu selfie at an airport after he had surprised you with a spontaneous weekend getaway. Under the picture, Lando had written, “The start of something amazing.”

As you turned the pages, you found yourself lost in a beautiful collage of memories: pictures, ticket stubs, little notes, and mementos that documented every step of your journey together. There was a picture from your first date at a tiny café, the two of you laughing with your cheeks flushed. A concert ticket from the night he took you to see your favorite band. Your first vacation together: a selfie on a beach with a sunset in the background, both of you wearing matching sunglasses.

Each page was filled with more than just photos. Lando had handwritten little captions and anecdotes—his thoughts from that moment in time, or an inside joke only the two of you understood. There was a picture from a random Sunday morning, where you were sitting on the couch, both in mismatched pajamas, completely comfortable in each other’s presence. Underneath, Lando had written, “I love how we can do nothing together and still have the best time.”

You couldn’t help but smile, your heart swelling with each turn of the page. You had never known how much of a sentimental side Lando had, how much he valued the moments that made your relationship uniquely yours.

And then, at the very end, you came across a final picture. It was of the two of you, sitting on a park bench, watching the stars. You had no idea who took the picture, but the moment captured the perfect stillness of a shared evening. Below it, Lando had written:

“This is just the beginning, and there’s so much more I want to share with you.”

Your eyes welled up a little as you finished reading, and you looked up to find Lando watching you, a soft smile on his lips.

“I didn’t know you were such a softie,” you teased, wiping away a stray tear.

Lando chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck in that endearing way he always did when he was a little embarrassed. “I may not always show it, but you’re everything to me. I wanted this gift to remind you of that. Of us. Everything we’ve already experienced and everything that’s still to come.”

You smiled, your heart full, and you leaned forward to kiss him gently. “Thank you, Lando. This is the best gift I’ve ever gotten.”

He grinned, wrapping his arms around you. “I’m glad you like it. Now… any chance I can get a bonus gift for making you cry?”

You laughed, playfully swatting his arm. “Not a chance, mister. But I’ll think about it.”

I need more sweet sfw sevika! You write her so perfectly 😫 could you maybe do sevika being all cutesie and worried, comforting her s/o through a migraine? Tyyyy 🩷🩷🩷

♱ gf!sevika (established relationship) SFW blurb/imagine!! ♱

(comforting you through a migraine)

got chu! 🫶🏽👏🏽😘 we accept the wholesome shit around here too! AKDFKL

thank you for the request!

cw: no nsfw! all cute & comfort!! mentions of kissing + lovey dovey shit.

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚

as you lay in the bed shared by you and your girlfriend sevika in your (also shared) living space, you were cursed yet again with the most painful throbbing in your head-- it leaked straight to your brain, face, and neck, causing you immense pain. it'd never been this bad before.

you've gotten used to the pain of occasional migraines that were stress induced by living in the dangerous underground city of zaun-- constantly plagued by the fear of getting robbed, killed, or worse.

or perhaps your migraines were hereditary? who knows.

it doesn’t help that your partner (sexy butch lesbian) sevika hasn't been home in a while, she usually helped you through the intense pain, caressing you, promising you she'd always protect you (although you could probably do a good job of that by yourself! u ain't no punk!).

the pain only seemed to get worse as the hours went by, your hands clutching and clawing at your skull in an attempt to alleviate the pain, causing your vision to turn white and your stomach to churn.

suddenly, after what seemed like days, the front door to your dimly lit apartment creaked open with the arrival of the person you loved most, sevika.

sevika was greeted with amplified silence as she made her way into the sacred place she shared with you-- you'd usually be waiting for her near the front door, ready to hug, kiss, and ask about her day.

she was confused at the nothingness that encapsulated what usually felt lively; like a breath of fresh air compared to the depressing streets of zaun.

she eventually makes her way to the bedroom and eventually finds you lying there, in the fetal position and visible discomfort.

she’d ended up next to you in an instant. already knowing what was bothering you, yet again.

“baby? sweetheart, are you alright?” + “is it your head again?” she questioned in genuine concern.

you slowly rose out of the cocoon you’ve made with your body to wrap your arms around her and cry into her neck, “it hurts so badly vika…”

she couldn't bear the thought of you hurting so much. she quickly (but gently) hooks her mech arm around your waist and rests her hand on your lower shoulder (think flynn rider and rapunzel when they hug at the end of the tangled).

as she revels in the warmth and smell of your neck, she whispers nothing but sweet and comforting things into your ear as her other flesh hand massages the area that hurts the most.

“s’okay, baby, i’m here now.” + “gonna make it all better for you, sweet girl, don’t worry.” + “shh look at me. ‘m gonna take care of you honey, i promise.”

and she makes good on that promise! she gives you medicine, bathes you, give ya kisses all over + cooks you food!!

hope u like!! ❦

whoa! thank you very much to everyone who has filled out the survey so far-- this is already many more responses than I'd even hoped to get! I'll start on some preliminary data-sorting now, and while I do--

The CEC numbers ecoregions roughly from north to south, with 'Arctic Cordillera' as 1.1 and 'Coastal Plain and Hills of Soconusco' as 15.6. Using those to chart the number of responses per ecoregion makes a pretty nice curve:

...which makes sense, given that this is an English-language survey on Tumblr. Shout out to the one person who's filled out the survey for the Arctic Cordillera, though-- that's really cool! And useful. 🙏

I'm also grateful to the two people who filled out the survey for Hawaii, and the person who filled it out for Puerto Rico, too.

Thank you very much to everybody who has filled out the survey/shared the survey/sent in asks and messages about the survey! I'm reading through a bunch of the entries and comments now, and hearing people talk w love and humor about the plants and animals they grew up with is kinda gonna make me cry

I know what I desperately want to stitch in the new year... but it requires... research

[artsymeeshee]

Been in a weird headspace lately and I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings out to give a better idea of what's been happening. Putting under a read more/feel free to ignore.

I've talked about my struggles mentally on and off for a while and this one has been an ongoing thing for me and it's one I feel has begun to stick out more as time goes on.

I don't see myself as a good person. Most of the time I feel like I'm a bad person. And there's a lot of factors that play into this. One, is the things that I draw, which sounds absolutely crazy. Even I think it is as well.

It's no secret that my main priority has always been familial/platonic themes because that's how I've always viewed Gravity Falls as. And I know a lot of people do as well. It's one of the main themes of the show for crying out loud. And it's not to say I'm getting tired of it. That's a thing that has never crossed my mind, ever. It's more so along the lines of thinking it's too boring or falling back to that feeling of feeling bad because I don't make ship art. And I know I shouldn't feel bad about it and there's plenty of others that gladly do it. It's just one of those things that I'm not sure I'll really accept. And I'm always always grateful for the ones that tell me they appreciate all the family bonding/themes in my art. I guess the feeling of loneliness plays a part in that as well. I'll still make all the family things as long and as much as I can, but I won't deny the feeling of loneliness I get sometimes.

I do have that strong feeling that I am made to do something more and actually be someone and not the usual husk of a terrible individual I fall back on so many times. I won't deny anxiety and fear has taken a big hold on me lately. And it's also driven me to isolate myself in a sense and made me a cold person. I was so much more open years ago and now I've closed a good part of me away because... maybe I realized my "correctness" of myself being a bad person and who would even want to be around someone like that, so it's easier to hide. And I'm always afraid that one day I'll do or say something to no longer make me feel like I'm safe to approach. I've gone through so many people I've found that I've grown to like only for them to be an awful person and it sucks. I never want to be like that.

It's also been hard to not fall back to up and leaving. Whether that be online or real life. Last year was a time I fought with staying or leaving and it was always hard to decide to stay because leaving seemed like the only option I deserved.

I'm aware my ongoing battle with depression has hindered me a lot and it's a main factor for all of my negative feelings and thoughts about myself. And I don't want it to always resort to being the final say of who I am. I would like to find and show that part of me I feel people deserve to see.

I'm going to be honest, putting my raw emotions and thoughts like this is always scary. I'm sorry for the unexpected and serious post. I hoped I didn't make it too annoying or bring the mood down, but I needed to clear an ongoing struggle I've had for a long while. Thank you all for the constant support. Thank you for liking my silly, dumb, wholesome, sometimes feelsy art. Wanted to state another serious thing because life is so unexpected and you never know what will happen, but if something were to happen to me, I really can't explain how grateful I am for the love I've gotten from my time sharing my art. Thank you. Truly. 💜

[mixingandmelting]

hello! may i request for how would the batboys be with an "i'll eat only if you eat too" type of s/o? thank you <3

A/N: I’m not familiar with that trope so I’m assuming it’s the tiktok couple trend? if I interpreted wrong, let me know 😔

Dick: 

As someone who also values the “together” part between couples, it always warms his heart when you insist on eating together. He knows it’s your way of showing how you care for him and his well being as he’s being loved as himself. Not as Nightwing. Not as his civilian persona. If the reverse were to occur, he definitely wouldn’t be able to eat as he’d be feeling that he's being negligent and inconsiderate of you. It’s how he develops the habit to always eat with you whether it’s getting back on time to eat something you cooked or getting take out for two. He always wants to do things with you no matter what it is so he can always be with you and doesn’t want you to ever think you’re lacking or not doing enough. In fact, to him, the way you are is more than enough. You being you was what had him fall head-over-heels for you from the start and he’ll honestly die with a broken heart if you try changing because of him. 

Jason:

Surprising enough, he also understands and appreciates the sentiment. To be fair, when he was caught by Bats after his failed attempt in stealing the tires from the Batmobile, he was treated to a meal at some diner before getting taken in. The appreciation of sharing a meal didn’t come back once he was revived until meeting the Outlaws which then was cemented when he met and envisioned his future with you in it. The first time he got you a meal and not himself was his last as it had led to an argument between the two of you. When you reveal you wanted to make sure he’s also caring for himself, it made him think how he’s not going to be able to find another person who’ll treasure him like you. He does acknowledge that his family cares for him despite their differences, but it won’t match with how his heart speeds up from how you look out for him. Since then, he’s been eating most of his meals with you as he finds food tasting better when he’s with you rather than eating alone like usual. 

Tim:

He is very much aware that he can’t argue against you when it comes to you telling him you’re eating only if he eats. With the number of times you caught him going through energy drinks including the other day when he was on his third can of Celsius, even he admits his diet isn’t exactly healthy. So, it won’t help his case when, at rare moments, he complains about you saying that only to get shot back with your fears and concerns for his health. In those moments, he gets sheepish and gives in from the justification of your argument, ordering something for himself and you when stopping by at a drive-through or pulling himself from his work to head to the table where you set a plate in front of you and him. Most of the time, you aren’t saying that line as he’s already planning ten-steps ahead on where and what the two of you will eat (of course with consideration of your taste) in an attempt to get you to stay with him longer. 

Duke:

He gets where you’re coming from but the reason he pushes back is because he wants to show that he’s dependable and capable of caring for both you and himself. If he’s hungry, he’s going to get himself while asking you if you want something as well. If you aren’t hungry, he gets sneaky and buys something small knowing you’ll want a snack or drink later. When it comes to you and you’re hungry while he isn’t, you are his priority and he’s going to make sure you get fed. He ends up consoling you when he sees the guilt and worry in your eyes, letting himself take a bite of whatever you’re having or a sip. He stops there though, which you have no choice to begrudgingly accept as he promises to go get something if he gets hungry. It’s endearing and he always cracks a smile whenever you tell him that, getting fuzzy from how tender you are to him.

Damian:

He’s the one who won’t get it. It always leads to you two fighting whenever you get stubborn and refuse to eat unless he does. No matter who he had asked so far from Dick to even Tim of all people, he still doesn’t get it. He’s not hungry. You are. So you’re the one who should be eating, why do you need him to eat with you when you’re old enough to feed yourself? There’s nothing hard; it’s pure logic. When you try to explain food tastes better when it’s shared, it never goes well as he simply points out nothing is being done to the food when it’s being shared except for the portion getting smaller. That’s how arguments always go along with the same ending where you’d get fed up and simply stuff his mouth. Cue his expression morphing from offended to reluctant acceptance as he’s awarded with either a grin or blush from you, both equally lovable and adorable. By the time the food is gone, he has been eating as if he’s disgruntled when he’s actually enjoying sharing a meal with you.

안녕하세요 아미 여러분 따뜻한 연말 보내고 계시죠? 날씨는 아직 춥지 않아서 다행인것같아요! 오랜만에 아미분들께 노래로 인사 드리는 것 같아요 제가 정말 좋아하는 효신이 형과의 듀엣도 그렇고, 곧 발매될 제가 너무 존경 하는 빙 크로스비님과의 캐럴 또한 준비하는 동안 즐거웠던 기억이 스쳐지나갑니다. 그러다보니 올해도 벌써12월이네요 사실 오늘 이렇게 글을 올리게 된 건 최근에 연탄이가 강아지별로 긴 여행을 떠났어요. 어떻게 이야기를 드려야할까 많이 고민했지만 지금까지 많은 사랑 을 보내준 아미 여러분들께도 말씀을 드리는 게 맞을 것 같아 소식을 전하게 됐습니다. 아미 분들께서 연탄이가 별에서도 행복할 수 있도록 한 번씩 떠올려주시면 고마울 것 같아요. 주변에 사랑하는 이들에게 한 번 더 사랑한다고 얘기할 수 있는 따뜻한 연말이 되길 바랍니다. 아미 분들도 다시 만날 그날까지 언제나 건강하시길 바라겠습니다! 사랑합니다 감사합니다.

Hello ARMYs, are you having a warm end of year season? It’s a relief that the weather isn’t too cold yet! It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve greeted you with a song.

For both the duet I did with Hyoshinie hyung, whom I like so much, and the Bing Crosby carol that will be released soon, a person that I have so much respect for��all the happy memories that I had while preparing for these projects come to mind. And so it seems it’s already December.

Actually, the reason I’m leaving a message here today is because Yeontanie recently left us to go on a long journey to puppyland in the clouds. I pondered a lot about how to say this, but it felt right to share it with all our ARMYs, who have always sent him so much love.

I would be thankful if ARMYs could each spare a thought for Yeontanie so that he’ll be happy even among the stars. I hope that your end-of-year season is filled with warmth and that you’ll be able to tell the people you love that you love them one more time.

I hope you’ll all stay healthy until we meet again!

I love you, thank you.

Con and Izzy tidbits from The Republic of Pirates convention 22–24 November 2024 :) ❤

(reconding of any kind was prohibited, this is compiled from I and other people managed to note down :) <3, photos were allowed at panels)

What Con shared Izzy at MeetAndGreet and Fanmeet:

Izzy's hidden wrist tattoo: the name of Izzy’s lover who’s connected to the emerald ring has been on Con’s wrist in S2, under the glove; there is also a scar through the name; Con has a photograph on his phoen and talked about doing doing a raffle with David’s permission where the winner would get the name; they thought they were going to show it while shooting the death scene but then they put Taika on the other side so he had to use his left hand

The flavour of the toe: the toe was made from carrot cake with raspberry sauce

About his input for Izzy’s costume: he didn’t want him to have spurs because Izzy is a climber and rigger and they would not be practival for that; he loved the whip but they had to go through a lot of versions how to carry it; they want to make him another leather pants for the topless scenes that would be more „hugging of his bits“ but he nixed that idea

About scars on Izzy’s back: orginally there was supposed to be a back tattoo that would be lacerated by the scars but they didn’t have the time and butdget to do it („the scars didn’t také that long, but shaving my back…“ and proceeded to tell a story about how some years ago a production waxed his back ending in a straight line in the middle of the buttock only 4-5 days before the shooting, it resulted in a rash and Con had to do the scene laying on his back anyway)

Con & Nathan’s panel:

(they were so brilliant and funny and cute together, I wish recording had been allowed)

At the start: Con: Everybody say Fuck. Audience: FUCK! Con: Thank you.

Nathan: ...ask me about my flourishing career. Fan: Oh, did you like read my mind or something… that was on the tip of my… Con: The tip of your… Nathan: Conathan oh nonathan, we’re in public.

Fan: Is it true that when David Jenkins said he was gonna make Izzy convincingly pretend to die that you demanded in compensation a scene where you got to prance around with your tits out? Con: No. Trust me, he wrote the topless scene before he wrote the death scene. Cos he's met you fuckers.

Nathan: Lucius is a true alpha. Con: That’s a t-shirt you’re never gonna see. Nathan: Lucius is the true alpha, I'm not joking, make merch. Con: But alpha would be spelled: A, double B, A.

Fan: What was the weirdest question you got asked at convention? Con: Oh, we don't have time. Nathan: ...I've been asked whether Lucius is the top or bottom. Con: What's the answer? Nathan: The answer is, you'll never know, honey. Con: Oh, I think we know.

Fan: If your characters were forced at knife point to bake and decorate a cake, what kind of cake do you think Con: If I was forced at knife point to decorate a cake? THIS is the weirdest fucking question I've ever been asked. If it was for you lot, there would have to be cocks and jizz in it somewhere. Nathan: Jizz in it? Con: And that's quite easy to do with icing. Yeah, so probably that. (Con and Nathan start to wonder why is sb holding them at a knifepoint, Nathan says that Lucius’ would be bad bc he would be terrified, Con pretends to hold a knife to reenact the scene with shouting: DECORATE THE CAKE! :D)

Fan: What are you a fan of? Con: Cheese. I just wanna make cheese.

(a callback to Con's Jim from Midsomer Murders and a big thank you to the person who gave me this! :) <3)

Who would they want to work with (that they haven’t before)? Con - Tina Fey, Al Pacino, Keri Russell and would love to work with Russell T. Davies again. Nathan - Kathryn Hahn, Maya Rudolph.

Fan: What's the perfect cheese plate? Con: Oh, how long have we got? It's got to have chutney. It's got to have chutney, but it's got to have a homemade... ff they put Branston on the plate, I'm like, what the fuck? Anyone can do this. A cheese plate is a work of art. It's got to have hard and soft cheese. It's got to have soft cheese that's been at room temperature for some time. It's got to have innovative crackers. If you give me Branston and the Jacob’s, you can fuck off. It's got to have some onion though as well, whether it's a pickled onion or just sliced. And it's got to be a good mixture. So minimum four, preferably five different cheeses. There's got to be blue. I prefer a soft blue, but it's not contractual. There's got to be a very strong cheese. There's got to be some kind of cheddar. And there's gotta be... I like a goat's cheese, which isn’t for everyone. And THEN... yeah, I could be here all day answering that question. (until the end of the convention Con sometimes stands up with „So, cheese…“ :D) Also later they are asked about their favourite cheese and it’s Brie for Nathan and Blue Brie for Con.

Fan: If Izzy and Lucius lived in modern times and couldn’t be pirated anymore what kind of job would they have? Lucius would be a gossip columnist, researching assistant for an old professor that he thinks is an idiot or for a Tory MP, Con first starts talking about the movie Day of the Jackal and that Izzy would be like a character there „give us a quid or I stab you“ but then says: Another thing Izzy would be is really angry chef – and if anyone would compain and sent the meat back… it would be returned with something else in it.

(let me point you to this wonderful comic that Cliopadra made after this panel :D <3)

Fan: Did you také anything from the OFMD set or would you have liked to? Con: Well, only found out recently that some of us did. I’m fucking furious that I didn't. I would have taken the waistcoat and I would have taken the glove, but I didn't. Because nobody told me we were cancelled. Nathan would have taken the finger if he could, but the costume team made him another military jacket from the last episode.

What country that they haven’t been to would they like to visit? Con – Iceland. Nathan – Canada.

Fan: We heard from Samba that he would have liked for Roach to have gone out in a really chaotic way, taking as many enemies with him as possible. And I wondered if either of you had anything that would have liked your character to go or an alternative... Con: Live. Nathan: My ideal ending for the show is that there's this big, epic battle, a huge bloody 20 minutes battle. Everyone dies. Somehow Lucius survives the very end, stows away, and then Lucius is the final victor, and he's walking away, and just trips, hits his head and dies.

Con said he would like to do more comedy.

If they did a similar show like OFMD but in another era, what it would be? Con: Cowboys. Cowboys and vampires.

Con & Rhys’ panel:

(also amazing together! But this one was more difficult for my brain because I was tired and the sound in the room was more difficult for me to understand, so less stuff here :| <3)

There was originally an Izzy teaching Stede about slaps and punches that didn’t get into the final cut.

Rhys: I think they started, actually, really care for each other. Because they had a similar goal in the day, and it was to not only love, but look after Ed, this human that is so damaged, and so intricate and so interesting… so I think we united on that front. Con: Yeah. Rhys: And if we’d carried I think we would have been quite close actually. I think we nearly got there. Con: And then they killed me. Rhys: And then they killed the show.

While answering a question about whether they ever got slip any secrets a new meme / joke emerged end evolving, originating in an idea that Rhys has a sex tape with Kevin resulting in „KEVIN, GIVE ME THE TAPE!“ and Rhys shouting ‚Give me the tape’ several more times during the panel. Con: That’s gonna go on T-shirts. - Rhys didn’t think so saying that it is only going to last for a week, Con disagreed :) - I already saw stickers being made so I think Con was right :D.

There was a question if there was a scene that wasn’t there but they would like to have filmed and Rhys started saying that for some reason he started thinking of things of sexual nature. Then he starts describing a scene to Con: During the... whacking off. The candles. You’ve got no shirt on, I think Stede did see... Con: Whack off? Rhys continued speaking about sexual element there and something about a flirtattious moment and a bubble bath (?!). Con: Also that scene was slightly longer and there was a like face to face moment where we were, I would say nipple to nipple, but it was actually nipple to Rhys’ bellybutton. Because allegedly I’m short.

Rhys (speaking of Richard Curtis): He’s an icon. Con: Speaking of icons, hi, I Con.

Fan: Do you think that Izzy would officiate Ed and Stede’s matelotage? Con: Maybe in fanfiction. A) I don’t think they’d want him to. And B) Izzy’s not a romantic man so that wouldn’t work for him, he’d rather watch them fuck

Me meeting Con:

Absolutely amaziiiiiing! NGK🥺❤. He's such a lovely, funny and kind human being! During the MeetAndGreet the first night he found out that I never met him and he stood and came to give me a hug (yeah, my brain absolutely shortcircuited!!! :)))) (and I got one more hug the last dayyyyy, wahoooo).

I made a design what I think Izzy's pirate flag would look like - Con liked it and agreed :), unfortunately this convention didn't allow giving gifts right to actors, only through gift table so I gave him T-shirt with that design through it (I was wearing the same T-shirt and giving out these stickers to fellow con attendees :D).

When he was signing this brilliant Izzy topless show promo photo (O:)) he said: "Look at those shoulders, I mean, come on, I didn’t eat cake for so long." :D <3

I shall treasure this experience and I very much hope to meet him again in the future! ❤❤❤

(by the way, I redid my pc corner - my interests are complete mystery :D)

THE MUPPETS!

The amazing Fyre created several muppets and Con was very happy that he could get the Izzy one :) ❤! (as were Vico and Kristian, unfortunately Rhys didn't have suitcase space and Nathan is a bit weirded out by muppets in general :) <3)

(Nathan muppet tried to touch Izzy muppet's hair :D)

(as I said no direct gift giving, but thievery happened :D <3)

Other tidbits:

(if/when I remember or find more, I will add them here :))

There was a four year old cosplaying as princess Izzy and at the photo Con asked how old she was - she said 4, and he went “oh I’m a but older than that”, stood up “but not much taller” :D <3.

Con at the end of the one of the panels: Scary times, guys. We are at our best when we’re fighting back. Fight back. And look to your community and support your community. We’ve been here before, we’ll be here again. Fight back. ❤

[mythalism]

Despite being a diehard Solavellan, that ending bothered me and felt a bit empty. And I think it's because they don't allow Lavellan to do anything but give Solas what he wants. Like, she's basically love interest Barbie.

I get that Solas and Mythal's relationship has gone on for Millennia, that they are deeply intetwined, that she shaped his identity,etc. I get that Solas and Lavellan were together for only a year, which relatively is a blink of an eye in Solas's lifespan. I get why Solas needed Mythal to tell him it was okay to stop his mission.

That's fine, but I feel like Lavellan in this scenario deserves more than to just walk into fade prison with a kiss. I get that they had limits with time, but the writing makes her seem like she has no feelings of her own beyond "I love you sooo much Solas!" And it does such a disservice to some of the most interesting parts of their relationship. Like she has no identity outside of him. In reality, he just rejected her all over again to her face, with the added baggage of still intending to destroy her world and even kill her. He killed her dear friend and gaslit everyone about it, manipulated them into putting him in a position where he could end the world again. This is all after twelve year span of her cleaning up his messes, having her life turned upside down, possibly losing her entire family, losing her arm, having her heart broken, etc. At no point in the game do they actually allow Lavellan to express any anger, frustration, or feelings at all over what the antics of both Solas and Mythal have cost her. It's a constant reframe of "I love him, I'll always love him, I can never give up on him!" etc.

I don't need her to hate him, or not forgive him, but it feels completely unearned when you have her all smiles and kisses, forgiving him for the 90th time minutes after he threw said forgiveness in her face and was ready to kill everyone. She at least deserves to assert her choice to follow him instead of just going, "It'll be fine if we're together!" The writers couldn't at least give her piece of dialogue that goes beyond "Our looooove!"

From her perspective, her forgiving him and begging him after everything wasn't enough, that he was willing to destroy everything regardless until he got the a-okay from the person who is literally the source of all his deepest regrets. A woman who turned him into a tool with which to cause all manner of destruction. While she, the woman who always loved and accepted him for who he is, forgiving him after all she personally suffered at his hands, wasn't enough. And she can't have a reaction or indication that she feels anything about this other than, "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SOLAS!"

I feel like if you go into Veilguard blind, not having played Inquisition, this relationship comes off as co-dependent and sad. And it certainly doesn't feel like any sort of resolution or breaking of a cycle. It feels like it's just a renewal of the same toxic dynamic, this time with Solas in Mythal's place and Lavellan's in Solas's.

i have been sitting on this message for a few days because i wanna do it justice with my response and after pondering this in the shower just now i think i am ready. beloved anon, thank you for sharing your thoughts in my inbox because i love yapping with you. however i am going to assume that because you came to my inbox with this you want my unfiltered opinion, and i very much disagree with this interpretation. i dont think its wrong to interpret the ending as involving a loss of agency for lavellan, or to feel like her story gets absorbed and eclipsed by solas's. i think thats true, and i understand why that could feel disappointing, but i do think it is wrong to frame it as co-dependent, sad, a renewal of a toxic dynamic, or love-interest barbie. not because those are necessarily false, but because that is quite literally what we signed up for with this romance, and i think that interpretation prescribes a very modern lens, rooted in real-life cultural values and expectations, to a story that is intended to be mythological, fantastical, and primarily serve a narrative purpose rather than an escapist, self-indulgent fantasy one for the player.

i would say that majority of the romances in bioware games are intended to provide a level of self-insertion, escapism, and personal fantasy fufillment in the player. that is also very much the trend of romance as a genre more broadly in the 20th century, but it becomes especially poignant in video games where you become the protagonist via your participation in playing through the story, and controlling their actions and choices. there is absolutely nothing wrong with these, and i love them. as an example, my fenhawke is very much like that to me. i self-insert so fucking hard on my hawke, and fenhawke is extremely self-indulgent to me. another great example that might be more obscure is the wayhaven chronicles (if you haven't played them, you should!! they're interactive fiction). many love stories lean very heavily into this sort of player fufillment, and they are wonderful.

solavellan, however, is an exception among these sorts of romances, and think the expectation that it would be otherwise is what has left many people upset about lavellan's supposed lack of agency in the ending. a good point of comparison here, i think, is hawke and anders. solas is tied to the narrative of dragon age and the destiny of thedas in a way that few dragon age characters are, save anders. solas is inextricable from the plot of not just veilguard and inquisition, but from the entire dragon age series. without solas, thedas would not exist and the stories that these games tell would not be able to begin. similarly, anders cannot be removed from the plot of dragon age 2. nearly any other companion can and the core story remains unchanged. but anders was always going to blow up the chantry. hawke nor the player can stop him, they can only join him in his tragedy, if they so choose. similarly, solas was always going to occupy his role in the narrative (i do believe this once involved bringing down the veil lol but instead its becoming the immortal guardian of the veil and atoning by healing the blight). lavellan nor the player was ever going to be able to change this. our only option was to join him on that path. romancing anders, and romancing solas, does not change the fact that they belong to the narrative first, and the player second. thus, when you romance them, you as the player and hawke or lavellan, as the protagonist, resign and submit themselves to the shared fate of that tragedy.

i call solavellan a tragedy not because it is sad, but because solas is bound by his narrative purpose the way a classical tragic hero is. he calls himself "fatalistic" verbatim, and the devs have referred to solavellan as a tragedy several times. when asked about solavellan happy ending on a dev q&a this summer, corrinne literally said "i thought you guys wanted a tragedy?" and though she was half-joking, she was right. solavellan was always going to be a tragedy; a story bound from the beginning by its inevitable ending. this is what it means to romance the most plot-relevant character of all time in dragon age, you have no choice but submit yourself, as the player and as lavellan, to his narrative fate.

to look at this story from a modern lens of gender power dynamics causing a lack of agency does it a disservice, in my opinion. yeah, if lavellan was my friend irl, i would tell her to dump her ugly ass bald boyfriend and move on. and to be fair, rook can literally do this LMFAO. like you can literally tell her to dump him, and they gave you this option for a reason; its a final opt-out from joining him on his narrative destiny as basically the tragic, meta-protagonist of the story of thedas. solavellan would indeed be super fucked up if it was real, even before veilguard. this is part of the reason i actually am not a fan of modern solavellan AU's, because they have to recreate and grapple with some insane themes that do not translate well when removed from the mythological god x mortal woman tragedy context of dragon age, and are plopped into a modern world. i still read modern AU's and enjoy them and have read plenty that are literal masterpieces, and i believe people should continue to write them if they so desire, but that does not change my feeling that something very essential to solavellan is lost in the process of that transformation. as i said before, solas is integral to thedas and dragon age. to remove him would mean thedas and the stories of dragon age ceases to exist. and to put him elsewhere and retain the core of who he is as a character and the solavellan romance by extension, is impossible.

i bring this up because i believe a lot of the issues you bring up in your message get at this sort of modern perspective being projected onto a story that was not intended to shoulder that burden. like. i would never support a woman joining a man who just murdered one of her friends in jail LMFAO. but their story is fundamentally about the power of love to redeem, and for the purpose of fulfilling that overarching theme, lavellan has to love and forgive him for everything. there is even datamined dialogue where morrigan says "and in the end, the dread wolf was saved by love". by entering into the romance with him, and reaffirming it not once or twice but three times throughout the games (1. lock in at crestwood, 2. choosing to save him at the end of trespasser, 3. coversation with rook) lavellan sacrificies her agency and autonomy within the story as a protagonist, and chooses to give herself over to the neccesary narrative conclusion that veilguard demands to finish solas's atonement story; her saving him (morally, rather than physically from his fate of being trapped) with her love. the only way to do this is to join him. her offer to walk the dinan'shiral with him in trespasser is honestly a perfect metaphor for this. it translates to the path of death but it represents his path through the plot of dragon age. by insisting on joining him, she submits herself to wherever the plot may take her in order to remain by his side. when she shows up in the end of veilguard, she re-affirms this by saying "i am here, walking the dinan'shiral with you!". she is less so submitting to him, but submitting herself to the path he is must follow to fufill the story of dragon age.

as for her not being enough to change his mind. yeah. she was never going to be enough to change his mind. thats kind of the point. this is made clear in trespasser, she was never going to magically become enough 8 years later. this is part of the tragedy. it has nothing to do with who he loves more or who is asking him to do what. solas does not have a choice, he is bound to walk this path to maintain who he is. varric says this in the regret prison, the inquisitor says it to rook, solas almost says this himself; he is too proud to change his mind (like, literally), he has come too far to turn back, and if he does then everything he did beforehand would be for nothing. he would have failed mythal, but more importantly he would have betrayed and ruined himself for nothing. his repeated rejection of lavellan in favor of choosing this path is a defense mechanism, to preserve both himself in his nature, and her "rare and marvelous spirit" that he adores so much. if he wavers and chooses her, he betrays himself. if he allows her to join him, he becomes like mythal. thus, the only person who can release him from this is cognitive prison is mythal. not because he loves her more, but because she set him on this path in the first place. he literally exists because of her. it is only once he is free of his duty for her that he is able to choose lavellan, and he does it immediately and with almost no hesitation by abandoning the veil. simplifying this to him "throwing her forgiveness in her face" is an unfair and disregards of the impact of the immensity of his guilt for the things he has done in mythal's service.

solas goes to great lengths to avoid recreating the dynamic that mythal deliberately inflicted upon him with lavellan. it is why he breaks up with her the first time, citing "distracting her from her duty", it is why he refuses her in trespasser, it is why he refuses her when she pleads with him at the end of veilguard. they do not recreate the solythal dynamic because the toxicity in solas and mythal's relationship was not about solas being willing to follow mythal anywhere. the toxicity comes from her manipulating him into doing horrible, violent things to accrue her power. in contrast, solas sacrifices his and lavellan's love for each other to keep her from joining him in committing horrible, violent deeds at his behest. he will literally do anything to keep her from being to him what he was to mythal, and that includes brutally breaking her heart and abandoning her and rejecting her repeatedly. it is the ultimate reversal of his dynamic with mythal, and the ultimate expression of his love. he is only able to accept lavellan's love when he is sure that he is no longer destined to accruing more blood on his hands. he allows her to follow him into the regret prison to help him heal the blight because he can only accept her love when he is sure it will not corrupt her against her purpose, the exact opposite of the way mythal's love corrupted him.

could all of this been fleshed out better within the game? absolutely. the entire game is rushed and messy, and although solavellan is the best of it, it suffers from much of the same. the inquisitor should've been in the game more. yes. it would have been wonderful to hear more about her gradual decision to join him in the fade. it also would have been helpful if the game was more explicit about the fact that the south is absolutely decimated by the blight, or mentioned lavellan being tired of ravages of the title of inquisitor and herald. all of these things are implied and should have been fleshed out more, i agree. personally, my headcanon for my own inky is that their relationship actually requires a lot of healing in the prison. it would be a long time before they were intimate with each other, and a long time before they reached a dynamic that is comparable to what they had in inquisition (but forever changed). just because lavellan forgives him does not mean she has to put aside everything he has done to her and never mention it again. they can fight, she can cry and scream and rage and confront him for what he put her through, mine certainly does. but the story we got makes sense for the game we got, and is consistent tonally and thematically with solavellan from the beginning. while further elaboration in-game might have helped the initial sting of the ending (i was also confused at first, it felt so sad), i dont think extra scenes of her getting to be angry at him would change anything fundamentally. solavellan is still a romantic tragedy inspired by the mythological stories of loki and sigyn, orpheus and eurydice, even hades and persephone, and many more, and is designed to convey a theme of the redemptive power of unconditional love and forgiveness within a fantasy setting. it achieves this at the expense of player headcanon, which is a bold move but one i respect. i empathize with people who found themselves disappointed by the direction it took because i know how much we all love and connect with these characters, but i do not think that makes the direction wrong. in conclusion, i leave you with some quotes and posts from my solavellan pinterest board that fit the theme of this essay, xoxo <3

⭐Turn Back Time @raplinesmoon [13.3K] // ksj x f.reader // time travel!au // 🥵🥰🌩️😂

📝 After total humiliation at his middle school baseball try outs, Kim Seokjin wants nothing more than for his awkward years to fade away until he’s thirty. Cue a magic baseball glove, and his wish is finally granted. Seokjin suddenly wakes up seventeen years later, now the star pitcher of the team he’d always dreamed of playing for. Confused and overwhelmed at the prospect of the new life waiting for him, he turns to the only person who seems to understand him — you. Will Seokjin learn what it truly means to be thirty, flirty, and thriving? Or will he find himself wishing he could turn back time?

🗨️ Seokjin’s childhood/school was just, ugh, I really felt heartache for thirteen year old Seokjin 🥹 So very common as a kid, to wish you’re older – and then it’s just not what he expected at all. I really loved it! There were a few times I was laughing so damn hard, times where I was shedding a few tears as well. Just, incredibly good; very well written, the story was captivating and motivating, just yeah, brilliant. (Sorry, I’m suddenly bad with words). I loved the ‘lessons’ he learned, and then having the luxury (I’m using that word because we don’t have that irl) of going back to his childhood (almost like starting over) and damn it was good 👏💯

⭐Small Tuna Fish @floralseokjin [17.1k]  // ksj x f.reader // college!au, f2l // 🥵🥰

📝 Kim Seokjin is a really nice guy. (Not to be confused with a ‘Nice Guy’). Too nice for someone like you, you’re sure. Which is why you’ve been attempting to ignore what’s going on between you. He couldn’t possibly be flirting with you. He couldn’t possibly like you. Could he? It the end, it takes one charity car wash event and one – or two, depending on how dirty your mind is – soakings to make things very clear. 

🗨️ damn, this was so funny, sweet and sexy at the same time ✨💯 loved the plot, the car wash–the wetness?? Omg. Everything was so fucking perfect 💖

⭐Dream Come True @sugaurora [16.8k]  // ksj x f.reader // brother’s best friend!au, f2l // 🥵🥰

📝 since your brother had warned you years ago that his best friend Seokjin was off limits, you’d only allowed yourself to safely fantasize about him in your dreams. You’re not sure why tonight his lips feel so much softer and his hands so much warmer than usual, but you’re also not about to complain.

🗨️ shit I’m in love with this 🤧 It’s so fucking amazing, beautiful, sweet and fluffy. I lived it so much 💖💯

⭐With You @yoonpobs [22.1k]  // ksj x f.reader // marriage!au, divorce!au, childhood friends2lovers // 🥵🥰🌩️

📝 marrying your childhood best friend was not the love story that most painted it to be. you knew that better than anyone else.

🗨️ I really adore stories where the characters undergo emotional development 🥹 and these… They grow so much, and they even have supportive friends and family 🤧 Jin was a bit of a douche yes but he learned from his mistakes (hopefully keeps at it) and I really loved everything in it 🤧✨ I also loved that Jin suggested couples therapy, because I think that would be a big assert for them to achieve a healthier marriage 🥹 and when he asked oc on a date, and she went “but were married?” 🤭 also, I really think that going on dates while married is a really good way to keep the marriage alive too 🥰💜 I really loved it 💯

⭐Warm This Winter @jamaisjoons [51.6k]  // ksj x f.reader (ft. ex!jjk) // one night stand, s2l, exes (jjk), christmas!au // 🥵🥰🌩️

📝 spending the winter vacation with an ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend was not something anyone would ever consider doing. spending the winter vacation with both an ex-boyfriend, his new girlfriend, and the one night stand you’d used to try to get over him, well that was a whole other situation that anyone sane would have fled from. and yet, here you are. caught between your best friend (and consequently your ex-boyfriend), and the very same man who you’d fallen into bed with after a night of wallowing in self pity. all while stuck in the picturesquely beautiful - and cruelly romantic - austrian alps. well. at least you can say you had an interesting christmas.

🗨️ PERFECTION 💯 This was so fucking incredible, I don’t know where to begin… I love Jin in this, he’s so fucking funny charming, sweet, kind and witty. He’s so him. The dynamic between all of the characters was amazing, and the tension and unresolved feelings between oc and Jungkook was so fucking good! I loved all the jealousy too, and then the fading of the jealousy. When things shifted for oc, how Seokjin helped her, and in that, she fell for him 🤧 Such a lovely Christmas story! There’s a lot of angst in it, yes, and tension, dear god, the tension is so good 😭 there humor, happiness, live and friendship. And missed chances, living with consequences 🥹✨ IT WAS SO FUCKING GOOD. IF YOU HAVEN’T READ IT BEFORE, DO IT NOW, AND IF YOU HAVE, READ IT AGAIN 💖

⭐Sunday @here2bbtstrash [5k]  // ksj x f.reader // established relationship, pwp // 🥵🥵🥵

📝 you got your boyfriend exactly what he wanted for his birthday.

🗨️ this one is just out of this world; it’s so filthy, smutty. WOW. There’s a belt, and I won’t say more than that!

🗨️ WOW— so many thoughts on this; it was perfect, let me start with that. It was so fucking funny, I laughed so many times.

But from right under his nose, one of his many admirers just so happens to be the sugar-coated treat that he’s been missing out on.

🗨️ Iiihh~ I finally got around to read this one 🥰 I love all the bickering in it, and I’m going to reference a line from the story, because I think it’s sums their relationship up so well: “He’s persistent - but you are more persistent.” 😂 I really loved it, it was cute and funny with some chocolate syrup drizzled on top 🤤🥵💯

🗨️ 😭😭😭 Oh my… finally got to read it and shit it is beautiful! I love all the humor, smut and the fluff too— and best friend Yoongi 🥰 Everything in this is so freaking good 💯💜 I’m still keeping this here, because even though Jai deleted all their fics, it’s still and awesome story and Jai is amazing!!! ✨

Juicy crab 🦀

- Nichols x y/n (sza face claim) (uncle cooper for like a paragraph)

- wc 2k

- tw: diaper changing, gagging (from Nicholas lmao), food mention, seafoods, baby crying, not a trigger but Nicholas being disgustingly in love with his little family. Oh and there is smut! ummm I think that’s it. Let me know if I missed anything

Oh also like a majority of this came from @blackynsupremacy so thank you ☺️🖤

~~~~~~~~~~

You and Noah had been cooped up at the house for a while. Your manager putting you on maternity leave, Nicholas backing him. But now that Noah was eight months and things about him had kinda died down, you had a need to go out and what better place to go than juicy crab. Plus you were tired of cooking. The next day you were already dressed with Noah in his car seat. Nicholas barely got one step in the house before you were pushing him back out to the garage. “Baby where we going?”

“To eat! Let’s go.” You quickly but thoroughly got Noah strapped into the car seat before climbing into his pickup. You heard him chuckle and climb back in the car. “Can I at least go to the bathroom?” “No they have bathrooms there.” You were already putting the location into his address. “Juicy crab… I should’ve known.” You gave him a smile and a quick peck

It was only when yall arrived you realized he was wearing white. And he was a messy eater. “Lord I hope you don’t like that shirt.” His eyebrows furrowed and he looked down. “Ah shit… this is the Gucci one you got me for Christmas?!” You winced getting Noah out the back. “Well… I’ll get you another one. Now let’s go, I'm starving.” He frowned following you inside.

Being two celebrities you were expecting fans to come up. You just made sure Noah was hidden and okay as you both signed autographs and took selfies. You two even got a picture with the owner and were put up on the celebrity wall before being seated. “I kinda missed that.” Nick just gave you a fond smile before checking in on Noah who was playing with the rattles attached to the carrier. “You looked so happy. I’m glad.” You jokingly roll your eyes before scrolling the menu. “Just so you know I’m not sharing. Except if you want my sausage.” Nick smirked, biting his lip. “Hey that’s my job.” You reach over flicking his nose. “We’re in public Nicholas!” He burst into soft giggles. “Sorry sorry… what are you getting though. Never been here.” “It’s just like boiling crabs but like… better. And black.” Nicks eyes widened and he looked around. He was like the only other white person there. “Okay fair enough. Can I get more than .5 pound of crab. What am I gonna do with one cluster?” “Big back over here. But of course you can. Just gotta ask. I was gonna get two clusters. Oh and I’m stealing your corn.” He pouted but didn’t say anything. “Ooooh they have cheese sticks!” “Nicholas slow down. I don’t want to hear you in the bathroom later.” “Boooo you’re no fun.”

Before you could retaliate the waitress came over, looking a little starstruck. “Woah… um hi I’m Alyssa I’ll be yalls servers for today. Can I get you started with anything to drink?” “Two sprites please.” Alyssa nodded writing it down. “Are we ready to order or I can come back with the drinks first.” Nick shook his head. “We’re ready.” He looked at you to order first and you could practically feel Alyssa melting. “I’ll have the seafood combo, add an extra cluster add two extra eggs and extra potatoes. And I would like the juicy special mild.” Nick patiently waited his turn. “I’m gonna get the hungry feast, add two extra clusters an extra corn and three extra potatoes. And I’ll get that garlic butter mild.” He gave Alyssa a friendly smile and gathered the two menus and handed them to her.

“She was adorable. You think we’ll ever have a daughter?” You grabbed his hand. “My brother in Christ he’s like not even a month old chill.” Nick threw his one hand up in defense. “Hey I’m just saying…” you couldn’t help but smile picturing him doing his daughters hair and picking out the most pink outfits he could find, matching bows. Even having tea parties with her when she’s older. “Heyyy earth to y/n. You still with me baby?” You snapped out of your day dream. “Yea I’m here. You’d be like the best girl dad.” That had Nicholas blushing. “Really? Thanks.” Honestly that was the best compliment he could have received.

About fifteen minutes later they brought out the metal buckets and bibs along with yalls drinks. “You want my bib mr. White shirt?” Nick nodded. “I didn’t know we were coming here! I just wanted to work out.” You grabbed some tape out of the diaper bag and taped the two bibs together. “It’s okay baby. Wait pose really quick.” Nick rolled his eyes playfully before letting you get a picture.

You knew the food would be out soon and wanted to make sure Noah was okay. “Is nu-nu sleep?” Nick carefully lifted the cover to find Noah slowly waking up. “Oh good morning buddy! Looks like he’s just waking up.” Nicholas cooed as he saw Noah’s lip start to wobble. “Aweee hey what’s the-” as Nick lifted him from the carrier the problem hit him like a truck. “Oh for Christ’s sake…” you couldn’t hold in your laugh. “You got this daddy-o.” Nick whined before grabbing the diaper bag and hauling it to the bathroom, locking the door. “Please be nice to daddy buddy. I’m still learning.” Nick made sure to lay down the protective cover on the changing table before laying Noah down. “Oh I know I’m sorry. But I can’t change you in my arms.” He took out the gloves you kept in there for him before carefully unbuttoning the onesie and god it was everywhere. And god he couldn’t help but gag again. “F- god… why do you only do this when I’m changing you???” The higher the onesie got the worst the smell got. And he hadn’t even gotten the diaper off yet, his eyes already watering. “Jesus Christ. Siri, call cooper.”

For some god unknown reason, Cooper was like a magician at changing diapers and Noah loved him some uncle cooper. “Nick!! Aweee my baby’s crying. What’d you do?” It took one almost productive gag from Nicholas for cooper to understand. “Nicky… you gotta get over this.” Nick sighed “it’s so much cooper… I-i can’t.” Cooper was propped up on a ledge so he could see Noah. And thank god he’d gotten Noah to calm down a bit, plus Nick had given him a wet wipe to play with. “Dude the diaper isn’t even off! But it does look full. I see your point. Just… Come on, I'll walk you through it.” Nick nodded and took a deep breath. “First we’re gonna make sure he’s done so we don’t waste a diaper. Those are expensive.” “Hah who are you telling? They’re like 30 dollars a box!” Cooper rolled his eyes. “Nick, you can buy a whole aisle and not even make a dent in your paycheck. Anyways! Massage his belly a bit. Oh and to make sure he pees, take a cold wet wipe and rub it vertically along his belly.” Nick did both things grimacing as Noah was indeed not done. He put those tips in the back of his mind for future use. “Good. Now you know how to change a diaper right?” Nick rolled his eyes and nodded. And he got it off successfully with only gagging three times. And Noah was changed and back in his onesie, cooper cheered from the other side. Nick thanked him and hung up before heading back out to the table.

“You look like you just ran a marathon.” Nick just sighed and tucked Noah back in his seat. “I feel like I did. At least I didn’t throw up this time.” You chuckled softly. “Well good for you baby.” Before he could say anything they brought out the food.

You immediately gave him your sausages and he gave you one of the three of his corn and a potato. “Thank you baby.” You watched him absolutely devour the crab legs. Cracking them open and sucking the meat had your thighs clenching. But what really got you was how he ate the corn. You absolutely abandoned your food watching him. Watching how his lips wrapped around the cob. The sucking noises had you really struggling.

“Babyyyy. You okay?” He already knew what you were thinking and was he doing it on purpose? Maybe… but also this was a lot better than the boiling crab. “Y-yea I’m fine. You like it?” He nodded his lips back around the corn and you nearly threw an egg at him. You knew he was doing it on purpose. Asshole. But he was your asshole.

You used to make fun of mom’s with two under two but now… you understood. This had to be some hormone after birth. You could jump his bones here but that would ruin both your careers so you held off, continuing to eat.

Once yall both finished Nick paid and yall were on the way home, of course not without a sweet treat. And this time it was Nick's turn to watch you. The way you slowly licked the ice cream, even wrapping your lips around it when it got small enough… “really baby?” Your eyebrows furrowed. “Keep your eyes on the road. Our son is in the back.” Nick just sighed and got yall home.

And luckily it was bed time and bless your little man he went down with only a little fight. But once you were sure he was sleep you ran and grabbed Nicholas from the kitchen. “We got 30 minutes, give or take.” He smirked following you to the downstairs guest room so as to not disturb Noah. “I only need ten.” And really you couldn’t blame him. You’d probably only last like five.

Not having enough time to prep yall whipper out the giant bottle of lube. And god when he first slipped in you felt like you were home. Your legs wrapping around his waist, keeping him close. Your nails marking up his back. “F-fuck baby god you feel even better than I remember.” You groaned as he kissed and sucked at the soft skin of your neck and shoulder. “You’re… fuck nick!” Your back arched as he threw one leg over his shoulder. The new position had him mercilessly on your sweet spot and had your thighs shaking.

Nick whimpered loudly into your neck as you squeezed around him. “D-don’t hate me b-but I’m close already.” He couldn’t help it, you just felt too good and it’d been almost a year without all the way sex. You loved how his thrust got sloppy and his thighs trembled. You smiled and pulled him into a deep kiss, your nails digging into his skin. “M-me too.”

He grinned widely as he picked up the pace of his thrusts. Your eyes shut tight, mouth open in a breathy moan. Your nails digging into his back as you squirted. “Oh f-fuck baby!” He let out a whine, burying his face in your shoulder as he came deep inside you. His body was shaking from aftershocks before he collapsed next to you.

“God I’ve missed that.” He kissed your shoulder, his arm snaking around your waist. “You and me both, baby.” You both laid there soaking in the post sex haze, that was until Noah started to stir. “You got it daddy-o.” He chuckled, kissing your head before putting on clothes and headed up to the nursery. “Awee good morning baby boy!” Nicholas turned on the lamp before picking Noah up. He smiled as he was screeched at. “Yea is that so?” Nicholas checked his diaper and thank god it was only a pee diaper.

“How about we go see mommy?” Nicholas took Noah’s happy squeal as a yes and brought him down to the guest room bed. “Special visitor!” You squealed sitting up. “Awe look at my lil boys!” You took Noah from Nicholas giggling at his lil wiggles. “Yea someone's awake hmm?” Noah patted at your face giving a huge gummy smile. “That’s my baby boy.” You couldn’t help but feel eyes on you and when you looked over, Nicholas was staring at you with what could only be described as heart eyes.

[kimbapchan]

I am so thankful to you all

I stepped away from the internet last night to collect myself. I've just now received everyone's messages and comments to my post and i am so thankful to everyone. While i cant respond to everyone, pls know i've read and took to heart all your kind messages.

There are even people who support my work and growth even if they are no longer in the same fandom (danmei) and I am so thankful for those people too! I am thankful to ALL OF YOU who took the time to message me last night.

CW: I will mention my body issues so pls be aware, you dont have to ready any further. I have PCOS so this year, I've decided to go on a weightloss journey and so far I've finally reached my healthy weight through healthy means/lifestyle changes, not from those crash diets. I've started cosplaying again because I finally feel like I can have the confidence to do it. I used to cosplay when I was in highschool up to college but I never felt beautiful or confident in cosplay because of my weight. NOW that I've finally reached a healthier weight, i feel i could and i did start cosplaying with my friend. I cosplay for fun and to help me heal myself with my body issues.

However, even with my healthiest weight now, I have been dealing with body dysmorphia and it's causing me quite a lot of distress and frustration with myself. Everyone around me told me I look good or I lost weight but I myself cant see it, i still see the unattractive unconfident obese girl i've always been and it sucks. Let me tell you, cosplay has helped me slowly heal myself and gain confidence. Seeing that comment stressed me out. But i am going to brush it off and continue what i do. I enjoy bonding with my besties and cosplaying with them. It's a hobby and something i do for fun. Not as a career or for fame. I dont expect everyone to love seeing their comic artist's irl face/cosplays. But i like sharing my fun pictures and cosplays nonetheless and if you also enjoy it, then yay thankyou! if not, thats fine. My comics are not going away, i will still post them. Just try to scroll past and look at my art instead.

also I have been treating tumblr as a little diary because I feel more open and vulnerable here so I also do apologize if I tend to be TMI or i post my ranty stuff here. I appreciate the warm and cozy atmosphere on this site XD

anyways, thats it for now. I think I'll continue resting for a bit, I'm still stressed out from last night but I will take it easy on myself. I am attending a con this weekend (and cosplaying there) so It will help get my mind off that horrible instagram dm. I blocked that person too. Thankyou again everyone! I'm sorry if you've read the whole thing XD but I appreciate you taking the time to do so!

taglist . . . @barcapix ,, @f1lover55 ,, @ilovebarcaaa (lmk if you want to join the taglist!)

. . . You tugged at the hem of your jacket for what felt like the hundredth time, nerves rising in your chest. The door to Hector’s family house loomed in front of you, a beautiful blue that did little to calm your racing heart.

Meeting the family. It felt monumental, like stepping into a new chapter of your relationship. You’d heard stories, of course, countless stories from Hector about his parents, his siblings, and the catastrophic havoc that filled their home.

But hearing about them was one thing. Being here, about to step inside, was another entirely.

Hector noticed your fidgeting and gently took your hand in his, squeezing it reassuringly. "Hey," he murmured, his dark eyes soft. "They’re going to love you. I promise."

You managed a small smile, grateful for his calm presence. "I know. I just… want to make a good impression."

He laughed, leaning in to press a kiss to your forehead. "You’ve already made a good impression on me. That’s what matters."

The door swung open before you could respond, and a woman who could only be Hector’s mother stood there, her eyes lighting up the moment she saw him. "Mi nino!" she exclaimed, pulling him into a tight hug. Hector laughed, hugging her back before stepping aside to introduce you.

"Mama, this is (Y/n),” he said, his voice filled with pride that made your heart melt.

She turned her gaze to you, her eyes warm and welcoming. "Hola, carino!" she said, pulling you into a hug just as tight as the one she’d given Hector. "Welcome to our home. We’ve heard so much about you."

"Thank you for having me," you said, trying to keep the nerves and anxiety out of your voice.

She smiled, patting your shoulder. "Come in, come in. Everyone’s waiting."

The inside of the house was as warm and inviting as you’d imagined. The scent of something delicious flowed from the kitchen, and laughter echoed from the living room. You followed Hector through the hallway, his hand never leaving yours, until you entered the centre of the home.

The living room was bursting with life. Hector’s father was seated on the couch, his younger siblings sprawled across the floor, playing some kind of board game. The moment you walked in, all eyes turned to you.

"Everyone," Hector said, his voice confident but soft, "this is (Y/n).”

A chorus of greetings erupted. Hector’s father stood up, offering a warm handshake. "Welcome," he said, his voice deep and kind. "It’s good to finally meet the person who’s been making my son so happy."

You felt your cheeks flush, but you smiled. "It’s truly an honor to meet you all."

Hector’s younger siblings, a boy and a girl, eyed you with curiosity. The girl, who couldn’t have been older than ten, tugged at Hector’s sleeve. "Is she your girlfriend?" she asked, her voice filled with innocent wonder.

Hector laughed, ruffling her hair. "Yes, she is."

She beamed at you. "He talks about you all the time," she said, as if sharing a secret, a wide grin spread across her face. "He says you’re really smart."

"And really pretty!" Added the boy, running over to where you stood.

You couldn’t help but smile, warmth spreading through your chest. "Well, he’s pretty smart too. And pretty." You grinned at Hector, heart racing at his slightly blushed cheeks.

The boy, a few years older, leaned forward. "Do you like football?" he asked, his tone serious.

You glanced at Hector, who was watching the exchange with amusement. "I do," you said, nodding. "But I think I still have a lot to learn."

The boy’s eyes lit up. "I can teach you!"

Hector’s father clapped a hand on his son’s shoulder. "Why don’t we give them some space?" he suggested. "Dinner will be ready soon, and I’m sure they would like to relax."

You were guided to the dining table, where you sat next to Hector, his hand finding yours under the table. The conversation flowed easily, filled with stories of Hector’s childhood, tales of family trips, and moments that had them all laughing. It was clear how much they all loved each other, and being part of it, even just for a night, made you feel something you couldn’t quite describe.

As the evening went on, the nerves you’d felt earlier began to melt away. Hector’s family was warm, welcoming, and genuine. They made you feel like you belonged, like you were already a part of their world.

After dinner, Hector’s mother brought out dessert, a homemade Spanish flan that was almost too beautiful to eat. "I hope you like it," she said, placing a plate in front of you.

You took a bite, the rich, caramel flavor melting on your tongue. "This is amazing," you said, meaning every word.

She smiled, clearly pleased. "I’ll teach you how to make it sometime."

Your eyes widened at that, warmth spreading through your entire body. How much you meant to Hector's mother for her to teach you her special recipe, it made your heart melt.

The evening stretched on, filled with more laughter and stories. At some point, you found yourself sitting on the couch, talking quietly with Hector’s father about football, while his siblings showed you their favorite games. Hector watched from across the room, his eyes soft, a small smile playing at his lips.

Later, when it was time to leave, his family gathered by the door to say goodbye. Hector’s mother hugged you again, whispering, "You’re always welcome here, carino."

As you stepped outside, the cool night air wrapping around you, Hector slipped his arm around your waist. "See? Told you they’d love you."

You leaned into him, your heart full. "I love them too," you said softly.

He pressed a kiss to your temple, his voice gentle. "And they��ll love you even more next time."

You smiled, knowing that this was just the beginning of something beautiful.

Hector glanced back at his family, giving them one final wave. Then he smiled, looking at you with love so strong in his eyes.

They love you more than me, amor.

He thought, wishing you knew what he was thinking.
