#the royals do do charity sometimes but honestly that’s essentially their job

[melrosing]

my sister and I once got into a physical fight over food in a hotel room when we were both preteens. We swore to our parents we’d push the other off the balcony but then by nighttime we were sharing a bed playing on our Nintendo wearing matching PJ’s. We also used to bite each other when kids. But speaking of siblings what’s your opinions on prince harry and William. Not a royalist all I know is harry from invutus games and William does a lot of work with homeless people so I was interested on your thoughts. I do like Meghan and Kate though.

lmao I love this has become a confessional booth for past sisterly disputes ❤️ Sansa and Arya fighting over the Trident incident, meanwhile me n my sis going with the same fire over a stolen bagel

on the royals…. ngl I am born and raised anti-royalist lol, I’m going to my parents for the coronation weekend and they’ve promised we’ll be leaving the house to go walk in the wilderness so we don’t have to hear a damn thing about Charlie’s hat ceremony. I have huge sympathy for what Meghan went through at the hand of that family and this absolute nightmare country and I wish she and her children all the best, but the institution itself I would like to disintegrate x

Hi! Can I request a hakyeon Prince AU? Thank you 💓💓💓

here u go!!!! i hope u like it sweetheart!!! i had so much fun writing this prince hakyeon is such a concept

prince!hakyeon

prince hakyeon aka the nation’s angel

his citizens love him so much and for good reason!!!!! he’s extremely charismatic and handsome and is excellent at posing for the paparazzi, but he’s also very down to earth and cares a huge amount about making sure his people are being taken care of

he wears perfectly tailored silk suits but also barges into council meetings when they’re trying to screw over the hard workers of the country and convinces them to increase the education budget instead ……. get u a man that can do both

he does a lot of charity work in the capitol and around the country, but his favorite events are hosting dance lessons for children and sometimes open it up to the public!!

he’s danced for most of his life and he loves to share his joy of the art with his people

multiple videos of him dancing have gone viral and you bet almost every teenager in the country has dreamed of being able to dance with cha hakyeon ……….

is ALWAYS being asked by interviewers and also just random old ladies on the street what his skincare routine is ,,, ,, , ,, ,, ,,, because no human should have such perfect skin? how does he do it?

you knew hakyeon when you were young, because your mother was a visiting diplomat in his country for the first 7 years of your life and was very close to the queen

none of the other politicians had children the same age as you and hakyeon, so the two of you were thick as thieves and pretty much grew up together

as kids you were always the more adventurous of the two whereas hakyeon was better at listening, so you were the one to convince him to go wading in the koi pond even though the gardener told you not to or hide from your nannies

at age 5 you accidentally started a giant crisis because hakyeon hid so well and the palace was so big that you couldn’t find him and when you went crying to the queen the guards freaked out and essentially went on a man hunt

turned out he just fell asleep in the dark corner of the royal library

at fancy events the two of you would always sneak away to the gardens and run around playing make believe, or when you were being watched more carefully you would hide under the table cloth and tell scary stories to try and freak the other out

your mothers tried to get the royal tutor to tutor the two of you together but he threatened to quit within a week because you just “would not stop making the prince laugh” so you had to leave hakyeon and go to a different private tutor

you loved the rain so whenever it started to rain you would bang on hakyeon’s door and the two of you would go play outside, even though your nannies protested and said that hakyeon’s leather shoes would get ruined

it was honestly the perfect childhood, but a little before hakyeon’s eighth birthday …. just as you had started noticing a strange fluttering in your heart when he smiled at you ….. your mother told you that you would be moving back to her home country, the neighboring nation

needless to say you did not take it very well, and neither did hakyeon, but there was nothing to be done about it

you promised to visit every year and for the first three years you managed to keep that promise, but then you started school and he got busier and busier and suddenly it’s been almost a decade and you haven’t seen each other, and you’ve long since forgotten about that fluttering

but you never ever forget his birthday, every year since you moved you send him a gift with a long letter attached, and he does the same on your birthday

the first birthday present you sent to him, on his 8th birthday, was a pair of ballet shoes because the two of you had gone to a ballet with your mothers and you had seen how fascinated he was with the dancers

he never outright told you this, but you were the one to inspire him to start dancing ;(

and of course you couldn’t help but know what he was up to, pictures of him were always showing up online and while you were going through your horrible puberty phase in high school hakyeon was somehow becoming ….. incredibly beautiful

even though he had a really really bad haircut for a while

you don’t really think about hakyeon much anymore, asides from when his birthday is coming up or you see something that reminds you of him, but when you graduate from university you get a job offer to teach at a primary school in the capital of his country

and being a relatively broke college student, you take it

being back where you grew up is strange, but what is even stranger is witnessing the nation’s adoration for prince hakyeon when 2 y/o prince hakyeon threw up on you after eating too much

the school you’re teaching at is relatively close to the palace, and every day you walk past the gardens and can’t help but remember all those summer days making the palace guards play tag with you

but despite being so close to where hakyeon is …… part of you knows that the two of you have grown …. and have become different people than those silly 7 year olds …. and that same part of you is scared that if you saw him you wouldn’t know what to say ….. and that it would somehow ruin that perfect childhood that you loved

so you don’t reach out to hakyeon or tell him you’re in the city, and you figure you’ll just avoid that until one day you go to pick up your students from their regular music class, and standing there is prince hakyeon himself, singing merrily as he dances with the kids, and why had none of your coworkers bothered to say that the prince was stopping by today???

for a moment, when he makes eye contact with you, you think he’s remembered you, but he doesn’t say anything and you realize that there’s no reason he would know what you look like now, it’s been a decade

as you shuffle your students down the hall you feel a pang of sadness in your heart, because he’s more handsome in person than any photo could show, and it hurts to know he didn’t recognize you

except when your students leave for the day, hakyeon steps in and says your name quietly, like he isn’t entirely sure it’s really you ,,,,,,, because when you walked into that room he was sure he was dreaming ,,,,,

nervously you go “hello, hakyeon” but all those worries fall away when he comes over to you and swoops you into a hug …… and he smells so clean and fresh and his warmth envelops you and you can’t believe it’s been ten years when it feels like it’s only been ten days

that afternoon you invite him over to your apartment and he laughs when he sees the clutter, and you glower at him like “sorry i don’t have an entire cleaning staff your highness”

and the two of you spend the hours catching up, talking about your mothers and how hakyeon’s favorite horse is still going strong and you tell him how you’ve watched videos of him dancing, and the way he smiles at you reignites a special sort of happiness that you haven’t felt in years

you don’t even realize it’s almost midnight when hakyeon gets a text asking where he is and has to leave, but not before he tells you about an event the palace is hosting that weekend and telling you you have to come

“i had to endure so many royal parties full of snobs without you, you have to make it up to me”

the morning of the event a box arrives on your doorstep with a beautiful outfit and a note from hakyeon, saying you had to look amazing for your big return to the palace

at the event he finds you almost immediately and you realize his tie matches your outfit but you can’t ask him about it before his mother sees you and you are forced to socialize

plus you’re forced to watch bachelorette after bachelorette (and some bachelors) flirt with hakyeon, which makes you …… jealous ……. even though it feels weird to admit it

it’s maybe 30 minutes before you start to fidget, and when hakyeon is finally left alone you grab his hand and gesture in the directions of the gardens, and immediately a giant grin breaks out on his face and you stealthily leave the ballroom

the two of you laughing as you shed your shoes and run through the back corridors of the palace, till you’re standing breathless in front of the koi pond, looking just as the same as you remembered it

the moon is full and reflecting across the water, and as you wade into the pool, hakyeon watches as it lights up your face and makes you look like a beautiful water nymph, sparkles in your eyes ….

and it’s been ten years since he’s felt the glow that warms his chest as he looks at you

he’s tried to find it, he really has, but no one makes him feel the way you do. even though he was a kid when you left, there was always something special….. because you make him feel human ….. no one else can make him feel human the way you do, because you don’t think of him as a prince the way everyone in the country does

to you, he’s just hakyeon, and that’s enough for you. you never ask for more than that

slowly he walks into the water, and carefully he reaches out to cup your face, feeling your breath hitch when he asks “is it okay if i kiss you?”

when he finally closes the gap, it feels like a fairytale, even though his designer slacks are probably ruined and your feet are muddy ….. because it feels like you’ve been waiting for this your entire life, and honestly you sort of have

his mother is your number one fan ,,,,,,, when hakyeon tells her that the two of you are dating she is sooooooo happy ,,,,, but the country is also very happy, because in interviews when hakyeon talks about you or vice versa it’s so obvious you love each other

a lot of your dates are just exploring like you did when you were kids, and hakyeon is so grateful that you allow him to be young with you the way he can’t be anywhere else

he likes to have his arm around you in public, and you always complain because he’s just asking for paparazzi to take pictures but he’s like “i want to be seen with you so everyone knows i have the loveliest s/o in the country”

he dances for you sometimes and you get embarrassed about it because he’s so handsome and talented, but he pries your hands from your face and peppers your face with kisses so it’s ok

your students adore hakyeon and he spoils them rotten, always bringing them special flowers from the palace, you swear half of them are more in love with him than you are

he usually doesn’t like to flaunt his wealth or do anything extravagant, but when you have time off he does the most and organizes these incredible vacations

if you mention that you want to visit greece, he’ll fly you to an island off the coast for a week. if you say you’d like to see the eiffel tower, he’ll reserve a 5 star penthouse suite with a view of all of paris. if you say you want to go to the zoo, he’ll buy the entire zoo and rename it after you

small kisses are his favorite, but so are intense, passionate kisses that leave you breathless

you joke that the one downside to dating hakyeon is that you don’t get to discover his embarrassing past, because you were there for most of it. but he makes up for that with everything else!!!!!

rem & pearl jam !

R.E.M.: What was your biggest heartbreak? Do you like the feeling of leaving for new places, or do you get homesick fast? Are you an optimist or a pessimist, or other? Do you like jazz or classical music? Have you ever been nightswimming?

Pearl Jam: What charity do you donate to (or would like to donate to) most? Do you think art should be a mode of autobiography? What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever survived? Were/are you good at school? Where’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to roadtrip?

Warning: this thread is looong and has a lot of personal shit in it so if you aren’t interested in my rambles, vents, and personal details, avoid this. Some of the answers are kind of a little release for the shit pent up inside, so yeah. This is probably the most personal I’m ever going to get like ever so sorry. Its more for my sanity lmao

What was your biggest heartbreak?

(this one gets like really personal lmao sorry)

Hmm I’m really ugly and awkward, andboys avoid me like a plague. So basically, my romantic life is as dry as theMojave Wasteland.

That’s fine I guess, I don’t think Ihave the capacity to commit to an actual, intimate relationship anymore.Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever believe the thought of someone wanting topursue a relationship like that with me without some ulterior motive. Even thethought of something mildly intimate like cuddling makes me want to vomit. Idon’t get nauseous any other time.

I guess my first relationship comesinto play here. He didn’t break my heart by breaking up with me, it was just anextremely toxic and dysfunctional relationship. We were both freshmen when wemet. I was essentially manipulated into entering the relationship because hetold everyone we were dating, and I didn’t have the confidence to stand up formyself. He essentially broke every single boundary I had, and I just acceptedit with a smile on my face because “that’s what good girlfriends do”. There wasa lot of manipulation and non-consensual shit that happened. When we broke up, Istill hadn’t accepted my feelings, and fought to keep him in my life as a “bestfriend”.

Ittook me an entire year after we broke up to finally overcome my feelings ofdenial, and come to terms with my actual feelings towards the entirerelationship. I was an idiot and reentered the relationship last summer becauseI was tired of being isolated. My mental state was the worst it had ever been,and he definitely took advantage of it. Let’s just say that every single one ofmy “first times” were taken from me via manipulation. I finally broke up withhim and told him everything, but I couldn’t cut him off. We are still closefriends, but it all haunts me. I’m still in the acceptance stage, slowly movinginto the aftershock stage. Repression is my best friend.

I answered an ask about having regrets.This one kept me up at night the most.

Do you like the feeling of leaving for new places, or do you gethomesick fast?

I love the feeling of leaving for newplaces! I think I’ve only gotten homesick like once, and it was earlier thisyear. My family went to Pennsylvania to visit some family, but when we arrived,there was no one my age for me to talk to. So essentially, for three days, Isat by myself while my sister and parents all had a blast. I found myselfcraving for home, not that it would’ve been any better. I guess the older Iget, the more I appreciate at least some sense of familiarity.

Are you an optimist or a pessimist, or other?

I am a mess. I like to think I’m anoptimist in regard to other people, but a pessimist in regard to myself.

Do you like jazz or classical music?

I like both! However, I haven’tlistened to either in a while… so there isn’t really any point in pickingbetween the two. I like them, but I don’t particularly care much about eitherof them to pick a favorite.

Have you ever been nightswimming?

I have indeed! One of my clearestchildhood memories is swimming at night in a pool at my parents’ old hotel. Mydad had pool lights and those floating, colorful fountains, so going underwaterfelt surreal. I went night-swimming for like 3 seconds at the beach once too,but I could only handle the cold water for literally one second before gettingout. I want to go again soon, but the only way I can go is by finding a 24-hourfacility with a pool (not in my area), breaking-and-entering, or swimming in alake…

What charity do you donate to (or would like to donate to) most?

I just recently got a job (and money tospend), so I haven’t really done any research on reputable charities. I’d liketo donate to lgbtq+ charities, and charities that support victims of sexualabuse and domestic violence, regardless of gender. Some other charities I wouldlike to donate to are those that support radio stations that don’t subject meto Taylor Swift.

Do you think art should be a mode of autobiography?

Brace yourself cause this is gonna beconfusing as shit lmao

This one is an interesting question becauseI think it should be based on a combination the artist’s wishes and their art.Sometimes the things portrayed by an artist in their work may not be the mostaccurate representation of their personal views or statement they want to make.For example, Joji (guy behind FilthyFrank) talks about how he is different fromhis internet persona, and he wishes to be separated from his art (which issatirical comedy). We all interpret art differently, and the original purposebehind the artist’s work may be lost completely; so the art itself may end uprepresenting something contradictory to the artist’s original intentions. Someartists are alright with that, while others prefer to publicly state theirintentions behind their works to preserve the original meaning. So essentially,if an artist feels as though their art can be viewed in an autobiographicalsense, then so be it; but if an artist wishes to be separated from their art,then so be it.

Wow, I hope that kind of made sense!

What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever survived?

(this one also contains alotta personal shit lmao sory)

The past three years of my life. Junioryear, I came face-to-face with everything I had repressed since freshman year.Two of my “best friends” also stopped talking to me around this time, and I beganto lose all of my friends. Senior year was even worse because I lost everysingle one of my friends. I went to senior prom by myself (dateless andgroupless) and I spent the night of graduation alone in my living room, whileeveryone else (including my “best friend”) was out at parties or celebrating. Thatsummer, I was mentally destroyed from being isolated, and in a last attempt tonot lose my last friend, I agreed to dating him again… I wish there was a wordthat describes a situation in which you weren’t held down and raped, but youalso never gave your consent. I finally got my shit together and broke up withhim. I told him everything, and we are still close friends because I just can’tbring myself to cut him off. I don’t know. I don’t care.

I still exist in a constant state ofdissociation and my self-image n confidence n shit is rly bad. Anytime I evenconsider the idea of developing another platonic or romantic relationship, Ifeel physically ill and essentially start having a panic attack. The word “bestfriend” is essentially a fucking royal title for me. Once again, repression ismy best friend.

But I’m getting better, I’ve finallygrown more self-sufficient. I’m not afraid of being alone anymore, and I’munafraid to be loud and bitchy and temperamental when its needed. I have a handfulof friendly acquaintances, and I think a few of them may even qualify asfriends. I’ve even admitted to liking someone I work with. This is the firsttime I’ve ever shared this with anyone, let alone the fucking tumblr void.

Were/are you good at school?

I was an alright student in highschool. I graduated like 27th in my class with a 3.79 GPA, so nottoo shabby. I like to think I’m a great college student though. I’m quite proudof my 4.0 GPA.

Where’s somewhere you’ve always wanted to roadtrip?

Hmm I don’t have any specific locationin mind! Anywhere except here would be fine. My ideal road trip would probablybe going to like Vegas or some shit, and stopping at every place I findinteresting along the way.

Thanks for the ask, and sorry it took so long for me to reply!
