#there's always room for more scenarios with these characters ahhhhh

[foxstens]

going insane thinking about how aftg was initially supposed to be kevneil

obviously nora's ideas were very different at the time but i wonder, did andrew play such an important role from the very beginning? the extra content mentions andrew originally had a brain tumor or something but i'm not sure if it says how much screentime he was supposed to get at the time. so did the three of them always orbit each other or did that come as the story evolved?

and kevneil became kandreil which ultimately ended up as andreil, but was it ever kandrew only? probably not since neil was always the protagonist, which is fascinating in its own right. but still fun to think about

[goblins-riddles-or-frocks]

I’m going to be writing my first novel (original fiction) and I’m already stressing myself out about creating good prose and character dynamics. I have so many ships that I admire and I can tell so much thought went into their dialogue and backgrounds but how are writers writing thousands of words a day with that type of thoughtful writing?? AHHHHH. I think I could only write like 200 words a day to create stuff with the depth of character that I love and want for my own writing

I think your fanfic is good so that’s why I’m asking 🙂‍↕️

That’s really exciting!! Good luck!

Writing is very much a cumulative skill in my experience, the more you write the easier it will be to balance the various elements of plot, prose, character, etc. You’ll also just get a better handle on the patterns of these things. It’ll be easier to quickly formulate plots, to make interesting character choices without having to think about it as hard. So definitely, don’t get discouraged if you’re struggling with the balancing act now! The more you work on it, the more naturally it will come to you.

That being said, a big part of writing efficiently is having a good method. The saying that you can’t edit a blank page is very true. Stressing over getting everything perfect on the first try is just going to needlessly slow you down. Just get it done, and then you can fix it later!

For original projects, I personally like to outline heavily before the drafting process. And then I use that as a roadmap during drafting. Once I have a draft, I go over it several times with a particular focus for each pass (subplots, nailing character arcs, worldbuilding details, etc)

I think it’s just really important to work with purpose. Otherwise you can get lost in the weeds.

Re: character dynamics and dialogue, I think dialogue tends to come organically from character. And then character itself should go hand in hand with plot/premise.

It’s a bit of a chicken or the egg scenario, but I think it’s important to nail down what kind of story you’re trying to tell and what characters can best carry that. I do think that theme is really *really* important, and that’s how you get a cohesive, compelling story as opposed to ten tropes in a trenchcoat.

But yeah like basic questions, who are your characters, what are their arcs? Can you sketch out a basic starting point and end point for them and meaningfully talk about how they’re meant to change? Are these changes cohesive?

Good ships are good because they have interesting premises, conflicts, and interactions. You need to make sure everything is solid on a conceptual level. So much of writing advice rn is like “throw in a dagger to the throat scene, that’s sexy” but like shfhff what does it fucking mean! There needs to be a point to sexy scenes. And vulnerable moments need to be earned. A relationship needs to develop from somewhere.

It’s way more important to flesh out what about the characters are appealing or disruptive to each other, where they align and clash, and to make sure it makes sense, than to write perfect dialogue.

I’m very much a proponent of getting the foundation right and then fixing the aesthetic dressings later. My first drafts, my dialogue is usually in short hand, just to get the gist of it down, and my prose is pretty dry. There’s always room to fix that stuff later.

But yeah my personal tips:

Outline as much as you can! it’s easier to rewrite an outline than an entire book. And you’ll have to rewrite the book multiple times anyway, so might as well make it a bit easier for yourself. I like to personally have a shorter birds eye view outline, and then one that goes into scene level detail. But also I am insane. So, use whatever level of detail works for you.

Be aware of why you make every choice in your story. Could be because of a theme, because you want to set up a later plotline, or because it’s cool. Whatever the reason just make sure you know! That makes it easier to weigh any potential changes against each other, and to figure out your priorities. But also to tell if any elements end up becoming superfluous over your editing process. if you introduced scene A to set up scene B and you end up cutting B, then A doesn’t need to exist anymore.

Each scene should have an arc! You don’t need to outline scenes if you don’t want to (… I like to) but make sure there’s movement in them. My personal rule of thumb is that a scene needs to accomplish at least three things to justify its existence. Those things can be developing character, particular relationships, a subplot, the main plot, or just showcasing a fun setting, but I just like to make sure that multiple things are happening to be efficient.

Start out with high concepts and recognizable tropes (if you want!) but once you get into the details, then you need to aim for specificity. Specificity is so important, that’s where things get interesting. Similarly, characters are most endearing for their flaws and vulnerability. A character written to be generically likeable is less interesting and memorable than a specific character.

Also, be aware of each character’s perspective, both over the course of the story, but also in every scene. What are their goals? How much do they know, what are their impression of events, and how do they want to present themselves to others? Particularly for side characters, is there anything they need to react to that you might not have considered?

This might all sound unrelated to writing quickly, but in my experience the better understanding you have of your story and your characters, the easier it is to draft. That way, you’ve done all the thinking beforehand, so you don’t need to pause and figure everything out as you write!

[slither-in-gryffindor]

social media is a horror to explore

A/N: I totally have no idea how ig live works but uhh here's a valentines mini fic! btw the character's posts aren't necessarily related so this is scenario 3 with Wednesday having no socmed... or does she?

#3: Happy Valentine's Day!

<< >>

Enid’s followers immediately flocked to her stream when the notification popped up. They were greeted with the camera pointed upwards at a beautiful glass ceiling — showcasing the dark clouds and lightning that were in the sky

[woah! hvd! enid where you at?]

[happy valentines day enid!]

[dude that’s fucking awesome! perfect and is so me this vday]

The phone panned downwards and around the mansion. Dark wooden walls that created obscure corners,  tall windows that loomed; paintings of people in all black, still, yet looked as if their eyes were following you.

The comments were freaking out to what was happening to their beloved wolf as they expected a bright and cheery greeting this February 14. A greeting they always get every year

The camera flipped and Enid finally showed her face.

“So I am totally freaking out. It may not look like it, cause I am trying really hard to contain my excitement but —” she moved closer to the camera until only the upper portion of her face was in the screen “I am at my best friend's house cause she invited me to the Valentine’s ball her family always throw”

[asdklskglhs enid bby r u and ur roomie finally gonna get married]

[e dude! ur loyl invited u to a ball????]

[ahhhhh im so happy for youuuu]

“She’s not the love of my life” Enid hissed, turning absolutely red at the comment and looked around as if Wednesday was gonna pop out of some corner and kill her for saying something romantic. The girl doesn’t know about her  love and she plans to keep it that way. Thank the gay gods the goth doesn’t have any social media.

“Anyway as I was saying, there’s a ball in a few hours and want to see what you guys think of my top picks.”

The screen shook as Enid walked towards the guest room. The werewolf steadied the phone on the bed and the camera only showed an empty background while shuffling came from her trying on the first dress.

The top three dresses she chose were flattering. It’s not like she’s trying to make Wednesday see that she’s attractive, no.  Because she’s long accepted that Wednesday wouldn’t ever see her as more than a friend. She’s just dressing for herself, totally.

“Okay guys what do we think of outfit number 1”

[girl you look great i love it *chefs kiss]

[oh wow! You look so gorgeous that looks great on you]

[If that’s only choice number one I wonder how the others look cause that’s already hottt]

“Really? It’s not too much?” Enid asked, and nodded as more comments flooded, “okay, lemme know how number two looks.”

[Hmmm. You look gorgeous, but I dunno something seems off about it]

[What are you talking about??? This one looks cute!]

[marry me marry me marry me marry me]

“Right?! Like it's cute but not really. Okay last one. Maybe this is the dress.”

[ENID THATS IT THATS HOW YOU GET THE GIRL]

[omg enid so pretty]

[asgklasdhfwsdf mommy im gay]

[OOOH I KNOW WHY THE OTHERS LOOK KINDA OFF EVEN IF THEYRE GREAT. ITS CAUSE THEYRE NOT YOU. THIS IS YOU ENID IM SURE YOUR GF WOULD LOVE IT MORE]

“I don’t know about love it, but yeah. This really is more my style.” Enid brushed her hands over the smooth fabric and twirled, trying to look at herself in every possible angle. She bit her lip, it’s sexy but not too much. And the color totally agrees with her skin tone. Yeah. This is the one.

“Okay, I’m gonna get ready. I’ll try to show you guys the after-look and maybe even a pic of Wednesday. Happy Valentine's Day! I love you all thank you for the help!”

[yostresswritinggirl]

request for your event? you being klee's older sibling and having to look after her, but when no one's around you're just as mischievous as her :))

It is time to give love to the cutest child in the game, the chaos incarnate herself skdbslbwka I always love these types of scenarios, and with a lot of material available, I went haywire sksksks

Geronimo!

Snippets of angst here and there, but Klee always makes things better! (masterlist)

Responsible, reliable, strong.

Strength seems to run in your family, as well the familiarity with the element of Pyro. Ever since your mother Alice left to venture into the world after the appearance of Albedo, things had been busier and tiring on your end.

You had to fend for you and Klee outside of the little pension the Knights provide. Unlike Klee and Alice, you were no Knight of Favonius, just a normal citizen that does commissions for the Adventurer's Guild while delving into whatever your heart desires. Because of your lack of connection, most of the income you get are from your own work and the bits of mora your mother has left in your care. Your Spark Knight little sister is well in the hands of the Knights, all accommodation handled by them.

A lot of the Knights and even citizens are quite fond of her anyways, and so in multiple care she's not neglected the slightest.

Your mind is at ease knowing that your sister is enjoying a comfortable life while you deal with the loss of a parental figure in silence.

One night as you slip in next to your little sister in her room within the headquarters, the room your mother had occupied before she left, Klee begged you in her half-conscious state to spend the day with her tomorrow even if just for the afternoon. Klee was no spoiled child, she barely asks for anything nor forces others to do her bidding, and this desperation of hers had you crumble as you agreed.

That night you felt more tired than usual. Questioning to yourself, 'have you been neglecting the last family you had?'

Jean felt more than relief when she heard that you'd taking Klee under your care for the day, offering your deepest apologies and gratitude for continuing to look after her in your place. But as Jean waves you two goodbye, she was naive to the chaos she had allowed to come together.

Instead of skipping commissions like you had planned, under the coaxing of your sister, you ended up doing them with her. "It would be fun, Klee will be good and help out too!" And she did, especially when it comes to disposing the creatures around the city.

You watched a Hilichurl fly up from a huge explosion, body spread out as it disappears behind a line of trees in the background. When you looked back down after the smoke disperses, there's a huge crater in the middle of the Hilichurl camp and many unconscious Hilichurls in general.

"Let me try it too!" "Yeeey, go, big sibling!" Picking up one of her smaller bombs she'd laid out on the ground for easy access, you pulled out your bow and hanged the bomb by its head with a piece of string.

"Do a spin, a 360!" "Whatever my sister wants," you started as you started shifting your body in a turn, arrow and string pulled back and ready for release, "Sheeee gets!" When you saw the familiar view of the camp, you angled your shot slightly upwards and released, arrow piercing through the air before immediately turning downward with the weight of the bomb.

You two looked over the cliff to watch the fire show below, arm wrapped around her form to make sure she doesn't fall, as the supposed tiny bomb produced a huge mushroom cloud that sent a gale of black smoke up to where you two watched.

"That was so cool!" "So cool!" You gave your sister a high five, both of your hair disheveled from the force with ashes littered all over your body.

Gliding down the cliff, you didn't give the charred camp much attention as you two sped past to your next commission.

Once you'd went with her to a faraway river when she said she wanted some fish toast. Not wanting her to use her bomb and cause some kind of fish extinction in Mondstadt, you eagerly jumped in the pond after discarding some of your important items and outer clothing, an arrow in hand as you chased and stab the bigger fish.

"Wah, big sis/bro! Behind you! A green scary fish is about to bite you!" "A what now?!"

After you turned, you've ended up wrestling against the jaws of a giant crocodile that strayed into the stream. It took a few minutes before Klee finally stepped in with her Pyro catalyst.

You swimmed a little more to wash away the ashes, cleaning up your sister's face with a wet cloth too from the earlier Hilichurl extermination.

You're not as popular or in the limelight as your sister, many Mondstadtians only ever know you as a simple citizens who deals with commissions, and so very few (select few knights too) know of your connections with the Spark Knight.

When Klee isn't rambling about her bombs, confinement or Albedo, she likes to brag about you. The best and hardworking family, always responsible and witty that you manage to get away with anything. She proudly announces she wants to be as smart as you too, both clauses somehow sending worry to the Knights in fear of Klee and whatever you're capable of.

Despite your respectful smiles and composed appearance, your energy and genius stems from your unhinged mother. The best and worst part about it tho, is that you don't need to report to any higher ups about your experimentations and findings.

"If we lure in a Cryo slime here," you said with a gesture to the net set up by the catapult, "this catapult would sling it over to the field fire the whopperflower made!"

"Do you get it?" "Yes, yes! Klee will deliver a nice and big Cryo slime!" You watched as she took off with that cute run of hers, and not even a minute passes that she comes running back over the slope-

"That's one- two, three, four- five?! KLEE WE ONLY NEEDED ONE SLIME- AHHHHH!"

An adult and a baby Cryo slime got caught in the net which immediately triggered the catapult's mechanism. In the distance you watched them bounce off the flames, also effectively crushing the flower itself under their weight.

Leaving you two to deal with remaining slimes, which was easy with your precise shots and Klee's destructive power. You two escaped death with a few bruises from the bouncing abominations, your catapult broken amidst the encounter.

"(Y/N) is the best big sibling I could ever have! So fun to play with especially! Even if Klee misses them a lot, Klee knows that they're doing it for the best!" Kaeya and Jean awed at the way Klee speaks so fondly of you after getting cleaned up for rest, while you showered during this time in her room's bath. "Klee wants to be as cool as them!"

"What's this?" You emerged from the doorway with a towel around your shoulder, your appearance causing your little sister to jump down from Kaeya's arms to run into yours. "You little mischief, sneaking out of the room to disturb the Acting Grand Master and the Captain!"

"I wanted to talk to them about how fun and cool you are!" Klee giggled when you booped noses, the two older figures in the room chuckling fondly at the sweet scene.

"Perhaps you could look into joining our ranks? There's always a room for you in the Knights, someone as reliable as you would be helpful in protecting Mondstadt," Jean's smile echoes through her words of offer as she looks at you inquisitively, making you gulp at the idea.

You wanted to refuse, for many, many reasons really. But Klee's bright, wide eyes at the thought of finally being in the same place as you for possibly 24/7, tells you you couldn't really refuse.

It was only three months after being a knight that Jean finally realized the deep and ashen crater by Starsnatch Cliff was created by you and Klee's combined efforts. She stares warily as she sees your form pass by the cracked open door to her office, Klee towed behind you as you walk hand in hand with big smiles.

Mondstadt's walls shook that day.

Klee is actually my little sister's favorite character in Genshin. I was tempted to merge this with another ask, but no, I must hold myself.

can you do a shinobu imagine with the prompts

“I may be small but I am mighty.”

“How is my wife more badass than me?”

Hehe thank you you’re good btw

[☀︎︎] Character(s) : Kochou Shinobu x GN! Reader

|| Fluff, slight Crackfic ||

[☀︎︎] Tw: swearing, Mentions of a huge-ass fucking spider, beware-

[☀︎︎] A/N: Honestly, I didn't know where to go with this request because you didn't give me much info, but I tried my best lol- thanks for that little compliment at the end btw ;;)

You didn't tell me what gender the reader was either so I'm using they/them pronouns. I hope that doesn't bother you!! :)

____________________________________________

𑁍༄☀︎��:... 🦋 ...:☀︎︎༄𑁍

Today was quite a beautiful day.

The sun shone down upon Shinobu, almost as if it was Rengoku or you smiling at her. It warmed up her face but not to the point where it was sweltering.

She's hasn't done much today, mostly just messing with a couple of medicines and then taking strolls around the butterfly estate. Nothing productive or interesting has happened.

The only thing that was slightly interesting that happened today was whenever Shinobu sent a letter to Tomioka telling him how lonely he was.

Other than that, today was relatively plain.

Twirling the promise ring on her finger with disinterest, Shinobu shut the book she was reading with a slight sigh.

She wouldn't admit it to your face, but she missed you.

You always managed to make her days so much brighter. But you were on an important mission, one that you've been on for a couple of days now. She's been sending you letters frequently, always getting a cheesy love letter back in return.

They never failed to make the raven-haired woman smile like an idiot.

'I wonder when [Y/n]'s coming back...' She ran a hand through her hair with a slight huff,' They've probably managed to hurt themselves or something like an idiot... Maybe I should send them a letter asking if they're okay.'

Her violet eyes closed for a moment, she enjoyed the silence as she imagined scenarios of what could've happened to you.

Soon, her thoughts drifted into when she would see you again. They gave rise to a soft smile on her lips.

She knew if she kept thinking about you, she'd end up falling asleep at her work desk. Be she couldn't care less at the moment, too mesmerized by the thought of you.

She missed how you would tease her for her height, albeit she does pretend to get annoyed when you would do so.

She missed your voice the most.

She'd always read the letters you sent in her head, imagining your voice. But her imagination never did your voice justice.

'I suppose I'll just have to wait to hear their voice again...' She thought as she was just about to drift off.

But something had interrupted her.

"AHHHHH!! WHAT IN THE SWEET AMATERASU IS THAT?!?" The familiar voice's screech of terror echoed down the halls.

'What the hell.' Shinobu stood from her desk instantly, rubbing her sleepy eyes before making her way towards the voice.

"GODDAMMIT, STAY BACK DEMON!!!"

She froze.

That was your voice.

And there was a demon in the estate?? How???

You were in trouble.

She grabbed her sword and ran towards where you were screaming for help. Her blood felt cold, her eyes wide with concern.

Kicking the door open aggressively, she held her sword outwards with a terrifying look on her face." [Y/N]!! Where is it?? The demon???" She questioned frantically.

You were standing on a chair, your form shivering. A shaky arm pointed at the corner of the room, making Shinobu raise an eyebrow.

She gradually made her way over to the corner and felt her heart drop.

It was just a fucking spider.

She gazed at you with a deadpan expression," You're kidding, right? You better be. Don't tell me your afraid of this spider..." she begged almost.

You gave her a genuinely offended look, refusing to get off of the chair until she had killed it," A spider??? That thing is a fucking monster!! Look at the little shit-" you pointed at it for emphasis.

When Shinobu looked at it again, she almost felt bad for it. It looked like it was trying its best to escape from your terrified screams and judging gazes.

She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache beginning to creep to her.

"Be careful, my love. You're small so it could eat you with ease!" You blurted.

Shinobu's eyebrow twitched, annoyance rolling off of her in waves. She sent her beloved an irritated smile," I may be small but I am mighty. Let that be a warning to you, honey." She threatened.

You shivered at the expression on her face, almost more frightened of her than the spider.

The woman sheathed her sword and crouched down to the spider, holding her soft-looking hand towards it and letting it climb onto her. She walked over to the nearby window and placed the spider on the ledge, finally closing the window.

You let out a dramatic sob of joy," that was so badass!" You wailed," why is my wife so much more badass than me??"

She looked at you and rolled her eyes," it was only a spider, for starters..." She began," And secondly, we're not married." You gasped at this," Finally, you have an IQ of two, so I don't blame you for being less better than me."

"My IQ is actually slightly below average-!"

She walked over to you, suddenly throwing her arms around your shoulders, pulling you close to her. Her face hid snugly into the crook of your neck as she inhaled the scent of cherries on you.

You were slightly surprised at her sudden action before relaxing into her arms, grinning brightly and wrapping your arms around her waist to spin her around, letting out giggles of joy.

She felt her heart melt at the sound.

"Christ... I missed you." She murmured.

"I missed you too, Shinobu. Promise the next time I come back from a mission, I'll make our reunion a lot more romantic." You joked, but there was a hint of truth behind your words as well.

She pulled away from your neck and stood on the tops of her toes, kissing the tip of your nose," I'll hold you to that."

[fakecrfan]

[Star emoji] for the ask!

Okay the star emoji means I get to pickk any selection of any of my writing to talk about and I am going to pic Codependent Horror Entity Seeks Human. Specifically, the Basira section!

(I was also going to talk about the Melanie section because holy shit that has potential, but I am running low on energy so I decided to just pick one section. Still, if anyone has thoughts about MelanEye, I am like 👀)

Anyway, onto Basira!

Let me first say--why Basira/Eye  as opposed to another pairing? Well, I think that Basira is, in canon, the character who is the most guarded about showing any sort of tenderness or vulnerability. She has a quote about how her father couldn’t stand “whining” about your problems so you can see she’s internalized this idea that anything she suffers she has to keep completely private.

That makes her so good for the Eye to fall in love with. It would just, love to pry her open and see all of the vulnerability she hides from people. That’s the angle I was going for with her section.

she can feel that thing at the back of her head tingling, appropriating her own eyes to size her up in an intrusive, alien way, noting the softness of her skin and the angles of her cheekbones. It’s not a way Basira sizes herself up--not on her own, at least.

Hey you know that one Margaret Atwood quote about having a social perspective (in the quote, a male one) imprinted into you so that you are always sizing yourself up as though you are your own voyeur? Isn’t that such an Eye-horror quote? Anyway this bit was inspired by that.

Basira doesn’t think of herself in a vulnerable, feminine way. The Eye’s perception of her sort of fucks directly with her self concept by turning her into an object of desire. It’s--she brushes it off, but it’s a subtle kind of violation that does a lot of damage.

(Just like Basira isn’t beautiful, she’s not someone who shakes or cries when people throw things at her.)

Again, Basira’s self-concept is reliant on her seeing herself as tough, as someone who doesn’t whine. It’s not an entirely healthy self-concept!

Jon is worse than Melanie, though. Not violent. Not irrational. Just  concerned.  

Jon was especially fun to write in this scenario. In Martin + Tapes classic his eye brainrot manifests as obsession and hyperfixation and inability to comprehend boundaries. But this is Jon in s4, when he wants to connect with people, when he wants to be a good friend and build bridges.

But Basira’s self-concept relies on her not sharing her hurts, so that makes Jon--to her perception--scarier than Melanie.

“What happened?” he asks.

“Melanie. Scissors nicked me."’ [...] Basira got control of her tongue again. “Stop that.”

Ahhhhh yes, Jon using his compelling powers to get Basira to open up about feelings. This was especially fun to write because I have been imagining the scenario of “using compelling powers to force someone to open up emotionally” since the beginning of my time in fandom. Mostly because it has great angst potential, especially for someone who is so averse to talking about things.

“You’ll feel better when you talk about it,” he says. Like he’s doing her a favor

Jon genuinely feels like he’s helping here! He genuinely sees that Basira is hurt, closed off, and alone. He correctly intuits that she could start feeling better if she talked to someone. He would probably feel these things anyway--in canon he tries to get her to communicate better--but this is where the Eye Brainrot sets in, and turns that genuine friendship feeling into an obsessive desire to know, even if by force.

she curls up on the cot, shaking in a way Melanie hadn’t managed to get her to.

The emotional intimacy, Jon knowing things about Basira’s hurts that she never wanted to share is legitimately more upsetting to Basira than outright violence.

Her phone buzzes. Martin, the screen says. Martin, who refuses to be in the same room with any of them, or respond to any of their texts. Except Basira.

(Not in the text , but I imagine in this AU Martin tries to balance the new Basira caretaking obsession with his Peter Lukas work. So he still isn’t there most of the time, and he ends up showing his affection and concern by ordering Basira takeout and coffee on Lukas’s card. He tries not to text too often.

This leads Basira to think Martin is less compromised than he is.)

  I was always safe with Daisy.

Outside Jon stops knocking and jiggling the doorknob. Quiet. As though he’s had an idea.

Jon is 100% going to bring Daisy back as a courting gift. And then Daisy is going to end up signing the contract. After that, Basira will be completely surrounded--and completely alone.

(Anyway what I am saying is if anyone has thoughts about this or another Basira AU I am like 👀)

[your-local-bnha-writer]

Hi dear! Hope you're having an amazing time. I've been following you recently and i really enjoy your writing!! May i request hc's (or scenario your choice) about a S/O crush who normally has a very cold and emotionless face and may look very hard to approach but is actually very emotional and a softie? With bakugou and kirishima please💗

hard on the outside, soft on the inside

characters included | bakugo, kirishima

warning | like one swear word

genre | fluff 🥴

a/n | hi hi! hope you’re doin okie as well!! ahHhhH this was such a cute request I hope I wrote it well!! Pls enjoy!

Bakugo gif | @aishitetsuro

Kirishima gif | @8zu

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Bakugo:

Bakugo would compare you to Todoroki, you both look like fierce competition and he’s eager to take the both of you down.

But something about you caught his eye, you had something Todoroki didn’t.

To say he was surprised you hung out with his idiot friends was an understatement. What’re you doing hanging out with Denki and Sero?

Let’s pretend Kami has some braincells. Lets pretend that Kaminari pulls some strings and somehow you and Bakugo are now dating.

He honestly didn’t know what to expect when dating you. What were you like? What kind of things were you into? Were you like Todoroki where all you do is eat cold soba all day and—

“Katsu this is my room,” you smile at him and open the door to your adorable room.

It was like switch, your room was so cute and pure compared to how you look on a daily basis.

Like you wanted to murder everyone in sight.

You. Love. Cuddles. Yet again, Bakugo is surprised on how soft you can get.

He thought he was dating this stoic person, not this adorable cutie that still had stuffies laying around and liked to watch Disney movies on a daily basis.

When you two are alone that’s where he learns the most about you. Like on time he saw you smile super wide and he just...fell in love right then and there.

His heart couldn’t take it. What is this feeling? Why is does my heart feel like it’s going to beat out of my chest whenever you ask to cuddle?

One time he asked you about it.

“Hey, you always look like you wanna kill everyone but when we’re alone you go all soft. What’s up with that?”

You explain to him that it’s just your resting face and you’re actually quite shy.

That was a direct blow to Bakugo’s heart and now it’s his sole mission to protect you from everyone.

Kiri:

With Kiri, he actually was a bit intimidated by you. He also compared you to Todoroki and just thought you were the cool stoic type.

Which made him want to talk to you more, and he did just that. You were surprised at first, because people usually tend to avoid you out of fear.

So when Kiri came up to you, you quickly warmed up to him. Kiri, like Baku was very surprised since you always looked like you were planning everyone’s death.

Like, today’s the day you throw Mineta off a cliff.

But nope, you did a full 180 and turned all soft on him. What a pleasant surprise for Kiri.

He thought you were adorable, like you could look like you had the shittiest day, you were straight up glaring at the wall, you had this terrifying aura emerging from you.

Heck, even Bakugo didn’t want to piss you off. So when the rest of the class saw Kiri just straight up walk over to you they were already digging his grave.

“Hey Y/n! What’s up!”

You smile at him and start a convo making the class confused at how soft and outgoing you actually were.

Sooner or later you start dating, and you guys are the softest couple ever. In private you’re even more cute because you ask for cuddles and hold your grabby hands.

Honestly, he never thought you were so cute and soft from your outside exterior, but here he was cuddling you while watching Tangled, in a mess of blankets while eating cookies.

tgcf again chapters 174-191. im now midway through book 4. pain and suffering. and yet also.... this is really good.... but also.... pain...

okay cave of ten thousand gods everythings coming out into the light.... xie lian pretending not to hear fengqing drop their act im emotional..... fengqing silently working together to separate xie lian and hua cheng im emotional..... every word that comes out of mu qing’s mouth im emotional....

honestly reading the xianle trio discussing hua cheng.. its very hard for me NOT to project all the times ive been in a friendship trio and someone got a boyfriend the other two didnt like (which was every time. theres never been a bf everyone liked. sometimes i was the one who had the bf. there were no winners then and tbh i predict there will be no real winners here as far as this friendship goes but such is life)

mu qing is so smart he’s clever he’s tricksy i love it i love him ugh

“A pair of arms had circled around him from behind, and hugged him with force all of a sudden. Xie Lian had buried his face in his back, and also didn’t speak. Though nothing was said, it was enough.” okay i cant get into every different way im feeling about whats going down bc it would get Too Personal but this..... im emo. also xie lian saying “something like this has to be said clearly“ and then proceeding to not say a word just going in for a hug is a mood

“He heard Hua Cheng’s staggering voice coming from above. “...Your Highness. You really…will be the death of me.” - ok well DONT SAY THAT!! now im worried!!!

“Hua Cheng, however, only snorted, appearing as if his eyes could see through the thick rocky walls. He said darkly, “Don’t worry. If he kills one, I’ll make ten more. Fast and furious like the storms, I will never back down. Let’s see who’s the one left standing in the end.” Xie Lian’s heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he mumbled inwardly, “... Oh no, this is bad.” Even though Hua Cheng’s expression was subconsciously displayed, Xie Lian really was quite weak to this aggressive and rebellious confidence of his.” - fjadskfajsl its okay xie lian honey you never know whats going to do it for you

okay so are the murals and statues are only from the xianle era? im hoping hua cheng didnt secretly follow xie lian during his time as a mortal during the entire 800 years and then pretend to a total stranger that would be too much imo lets see. i still really do get why feng xin and mu qing are like “...dude wtf lets get out of here stay away from that guy” (also tbh probably if theyd all managed to stay close... this probably wouldnt be happening which isnt a judgement im just saying bc thats definitely how ive felt about friendships) although this whole thing IS indeed tinged with homophobia which i still dont think makes sense in this setting but whatever i guess.

BOOK 4!!!! im scared

“A few days ago he nearly fainted, and it was only after that did he realize it was because he hadn’t had anything to eat for several days.” - unfortunately relatable but :(

“Ever since Xie Lian was young, he had never had to consider these kinds of affairs, and this was truly the first time in decades that this problem gripped him. However, if gods didn’t even know what starvation felt like, how could they possibly understand the feelings of a starving worshipper? How could they possibly empathize? At this point, he could only take this experience as a form of training.” - TRUE THO!!!!!!!! i like seeing this even tho the circumstances are sad

wait does xie lian get his bad cooking skills from him mom? im gonna cry...

“After returning to the city, Mu Qing’s stomach was still turning. He said as he stumbled, “I thought…that porridge, it smelled like bran water, but I hadn’t thought it’d taste like it too!” Feng Xin gritted his teeth. “Shut up! Don’t force people to remember that pot of stuff! The queen is…body of ten thousand gold after all…never cooked…this is already…UGH!…” Mu Qing humphed. “Did I say something wrong? If you didn’t think it was like bran water, why don’t you…go ask the queen to grant you another bowl! UGH!…” The two were heaving back and forth, and Xie Lian grabbed hold of the both of them, patting their backs.” - xianle trio.... including simply because it made me do the pleading emoji in real life..... also the way the queen wanted to feed all of them... weeping

i didnt realize that mu qing would still be around during this time.... god the fact that i know theyre all going to split......

“It’s precisely because it’s a time like this that money has to be brought up!” Mu Qing countered. “A time like this? What time is it? Time when we’re starving! It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to admit it, but nothing can be done without money! Can you both not just suck it up a little bit?” - mu qing i love you. god.... for real the fact that he comes from a completely different background than the other two is so important to his character and i think it shows so much in the way he continues to be in the present. he gives me the vibe of someone who is smart and hardworking but is bitter about it and tbh!!!! i get why he is!!! he’s very aware of these kinds of concerns bc he’s had to be, while the other two kind of think theyre above it and its a big difference between them. he’s still separated by the circumstances of his birth despite how much harder he’s worked to get to where he is.... ugh painful and delicious

i really am enjoying the xianle story tbh. xie lian going from his highness, favored by heaven, well-intentioned but lacking in experience and understanding to living in poverty and fighting with mortals who disrespect him. fucking delicious i mean this sincerely and respectfully im sad but i really like his character arc. and then to how he is in the present....

“Mu Qing looked at him, speaking not a word. Then he bowed deeply and really turned around to walk away.” - OH NO ITS HAPPENING AHHHHH ;_; honestly all of this hurts but it feels real like i think mu qing has every right to want to leave honestly and he DOES have other family and other ambitions outside of the trio... and i get why feng xin is mad about him wanting to leave when theyre suffering!! and i get why xie lian lets him go.... friendships are hard man and the pain of them splitting is rough!!!!

“Mu Qing’s departure had really shocked him to the core. First, he had never thought that someone so close would just up and leave. Second, Xie Lian had always believed in “forever”. For example, friends would always be friends forever; no betrayal, no deception, no breaking up. Perhaps there’d be times when they’d part, but it for sure wouldn’t be over reasons like “life is too horrible” - pain. just pain. same as above i get it but it hurts

“Xie Lian didn’t know too well just how much money would be considered normal when buying over ten lanterns, and he never looked at the price tag when he purchased things in the past.” - i feel bad kicking him while he’s down and he’s still trying to be kind even when it costs him but this is the first thing that came into my mind

but also oh?? spirits of soldiers from the battlefield you say?? hmmm i wonder... who.... could possibly be among them....

“If you remain forcibly, you won’t be able to rest in peace,” Xie Lian said. The nameless ghost didn’t seem to care. “I pray to never rest in peace.” -  i cant lie this legit gave me goosebumps lol

“Xie Lian himself was alright in suffering through it, since there were far too many other things to worry about. But his mother, who had lived a comfortable, luxurious life, when had she ever done such crude labour? But if the queen didn’t do this work herself, who else could take over?” - hmmmm!!! housekeeping!!!! it matters!!!! rich people dont appreciate how much until they have to do it themselves!!! but this still makes me sad

oh god THATS when they pawned hongjing?? with the king sick and mu qing leaving?? :(((( even more emotional about its appearances in the present day

“That passerby chuckled. “You don’t know? This is too exciting! The servant is beating the master!” - oh god the dramatic and ironic timing of it all

god..... this is just... a sad time....

“MU QING ISN’T LIKE YOU ALL. HE’S MY FRIEND, HE WOULD NEVER HELP YOU!!!” [cut to] “Those were the only words echoing in Xie Lian’s mind, but he couldn’t utter a single sound, and could only crazily grab at anything at his disposal to throw. He didn’t care who he was hurling at, either. Finally, Mu Qing couldn’t take this anymore, and he steeled his face as he swept his sleeves and left. Xie Lian panted harshly for a bit and fell back down, spacing out again.”- IM SAD!!!!!! tbh i wonder if on some level xie lian kind of felt like mu qing owed him? i know he said to forget about that stuff to both of them but its one thinig to say it and think you mean it and another to have to deal with it

white no-face what is your DEAL!! also all the little fire ghost bits im...

“After having exchanged so many words, Feng Xin finally got the gist of what had transpired. He widened his eyes and pointed at Mu Qing, unable to speak. A moment later, he bent down and grabbed a sack and flung it over, roaring. “SCRAM! SCRAM SCRAM SCRAM!” Mu Qing was hit in the face by the sacks of rice he brought and backed two steps away. All three of them in the house were panting harshly.” - this is it this is the part where i closed my laptop and said “noOOooOOOoooo” out loud to my room im so upset... and mu qing still tried to leave the rice even after the broom thing im ;_;

“Feng Xin was completely convinced that he would never do such a thing, but that was precisely why this had become the worst-case scenario!” - pain, suffering, dismay, etc

“Feng Xin continued, “If Your Highness thinks your life might be in danger, I can finish this for you, I won’t tell Her Majesty, haha.” - bless your heart for trying feng xin

“But it shouldn’t be like this. The Feng Xin of the past would have absolute faith in him no matter what! Even if there was only twenty percent doubt, it was still unbearable!” - AHHHHHHH okay idk if i really have much to say about their relationship other than im sad but IM SAD!!!!

the differences between feng xin and mu qing’s relationship with xie lian are so interesting. feng xin has clearly always idolized xie lian a lot while mu qing hasnt at least not in the same way and he seems like he has some resentment towards xie lian (thats how i read it anyway thats what i said about it at the beginning of book 2 and i think its understandable and can be a very real part of friendships) that feng xin doesnt and i just think thats neat!!

“He was firmly tied down upon the altar, that broken base of the statue under his body. There were many people squeezed below the altar, and pair after pair of round, unblinking eyes were watching him.” - hmmm dont think i like where this is going

“Yet, before he could finish, he realized that the white silk that he used to cover his face had been undone. In this moment, the thing that had him completely tied down was that exact white silk.” oh my god wait is this ruoye?? is ruoye that same ribbon???? ill cry

“The hand stained with blood, the one that ended a life, was immune to the Face Disease.” - ohhh shit okay. okay okay. okay. shit okay. i See now.... so if youre an innocent civilian the only way to escape this fate (and the faces are actually the souls of other innocent civilians) is to get rid of your innocence... and doesnt this disease not actually hurt its just horrific? god.............

“White No-Face pitied, “You think they don’t want to do it? Wrong, it’s not that they don’t want to, it’s solely because no one wants to be the first, that’s all.” - shut up!!! youre the one who created this situation dont fucking preach about the way you think the world is

“He forced down the mouthful of blood and hissed, “What are you laughing at? You think that you got what you wanted? This was all forced by you!” The ghost fire within the ghost’s hand flickered even more fiercely.” - yes exactly!!! you put people in extreme circumstances sometimes they do extreme things!! youve proved nothing!! god i do love when characters say exactly what im thinking. plus the first ones who caved were trying to save their child

“He felt that, if he was to let them do what they wanted, there was something in his heart that would never return to its original state.” - :( also i kind of feel that in my life sometimes and i just hope xie lian’s heart ends up in a state he’s happy with

“He didn’t dare to look at what had become of the person lying on the altar, because what laid there didn’t look human anymore.” AHHHHHH!!! :(((( i mean i get why this event is what made hc... level up??? thats not a good way to describe it fjasldkfjaslk but you know what i mean... that line about being powerless to help your beloved OOOOOOF

okay well finished that chapter im. pain. hmmm. pain. i dont know if i actually have any words rn lol but im gonna stop here for now

[repeterwiggin]

i decided to make notes as I watched POF (SVSR) for the second time and damn. it’s just as much of a rollercoaster even when you know what’s coming (warning this is long there’s a lot going on)

- wild to me how we jump straight in!

- lee & mary lee are adorable & also thomas at the wedding is a Mood literally me at all my friends weddings

- the flashback breaks my heart,

- Patton is still a really good trier... he’s so good and he tries so hard and I love him

- the way thomas rips off his suit jacket...

- the song that isn’t sung!

- Patton says “we four helped you” but there were five sides in svs hmm I feel like that’s probably significant in some way

- the ace attorney ref makes me very happy! there was a secret path of me hoping for for a professor layton reference but this is ehhhh kinda close?

- the fact that the first thing they say is “why didn’t we talk to lee and mary lee” like. yeah!!

- WE SHOULD START LOOKING I TO WAYS TO PREDICT THE FUTURE! he’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit

- patton and roman bffs!!

- feral cats,,, what a tangent i stan roman

- I like that we get some more context to the invite as well, like being asked face to face does add another element to the dilemma

- Dame Judy Dench = Queen Groovy Bench I see you using those Good Place swears, Roman

- ��maybe they ... feel guilty” is like. I get where you’re coming from Patton but talking to them should’ve been step one imo like. I have been to lots of friends weddings and talking to them is important

- “I’m not sure there was a good ending to get” ... “for he’s a jolly good fellow!”

- them calling Patton out for how critical he’s been!!! very important!!! and I appreciate that Patton is trying “I’m just trying to help you be a good as you can be!” he still has more to learn but still im love him

- the bagel callback lol

- GameStore instead of GameStop lol Patton

- FROGGER

- “he eats fly for breakfast”

- We’re ten minutes in and there’s already so much going on

- Also I just want to appreciate that thomas is such a good actor I can tell which side is speaking just from their voice like the cadence is different and they way they say words ahhh it’s something I’ve thought about before but it’s really hitting me with these voice over segments

- Leslie Odom Jr lol if only we’d known

- The Pokemon battle format is so good and I love that it’s being used for a “do you give money to a homeless actor”

- The hotdog puns....

- Logan’s Lowdown!!!

- Roman mouthing “behoove” to Patton is very cute but I feel bad for Logan :(

- Pixel Logan is adorable

- The fact that roman immediately goes “ignorant” breaks my heart listen to logan!!! please!!!!

- Patton trying to soften his thoughts is kind of painful to watch

- “As long as that’s not the main reason you’re doing it!” Patton no,,,,,,,,

- Roman needs to be listened to more he looks so defeated when Patton doesn’t agree with him and only continues after serious prompting I feel like he’s been ignored too many times lately I’m very excited for a roman arc :((

- “Leslie Odom Jr’s....literal cake that he baked!!!”

- Logan’s fun fact popping up in the mario scene!! that’s my boy!!!

- Also the fact that roman is immediately painting deceit as the bad guy after they spent all of svs getting along......like, I feel like after the other sides decided that deceit wasn’t at all genuine or looking out for thomas’ best interests roman did a full 180* on him which makes sense for romans character but is also kinda depressing bc in is lying okay? and svs he was like “oh he’s not that bad!!” And now he’s like “scute bellied tyrant!!” damn

- Patton let’s him talk and then immediately is like “uuuuh no” yikes

- Roman targets all his insults at deceit and very carefully avoids being even playfully rude to anyone else hmm I really do think he’s trying to “make up” for siding with deceit last time and in the end it doesn’t even matter :((( bc he still feels like he’s disappointing people

- Roman seems like he’s genuinely trying to understand and Patton is really struggling to articulate his thoughts and that creates such a good conflict between the two bc it’s not like theyre really against each other it’s just solid interpersonal difference. or intrapersonal I guess

- The trolley problem!!!! A classic I love it

- The way it’s animated too is so good... the “Thomas is full of dread” the way the music cuts when the train appears how it cuts right before the train hits “is it over” ahhhhhh

- Also Leslie Odom Jr again lol

- “Maybe don’t depict scenarios where my friends die” and then later Patton is specifically like “it’s lee and mary lee!!!” lol wild

- “You know we don’t like to use the T word!!!” GREAT little aside

- “So it’s the how that matters” “yeah... and the why!!!” patton baby you’re trying so hard and I love you but it’s okay. you don’t need to have all the answers. you can just not know! I promise it’s alright!

- Thomas face after Patton brings up the “figment of your imagination” things KILLS ME

- I actually disagree with Thomas on the “putting more good into the world” as not being a compelling answer BUT I think that Patton is overlooking how feeling good/having positive emotions attached with those actions IS directly putting more good into the world. like, if doing good makes you feel good, that’s a good thing!! idk

- Logan disagreeing with Patton was good and we all know logan is my favourite but I think he could’ve handled that a little better

- PATTON HITTING SKIP ALL..... sweetie no :((

- everyone has already said this but that cane is the snake boy

- Roman even pulls back the insults on a philosopher who is not there

- Also Roman being like “your desires are getting in the way” again bc he feels like he’s not being listened to or appreciated bc there’s something about him that’s “wrong” and trying to shoulder the blame bc he feels bad that his desires (success, fame, love, appreciation) are inherently selfish :(((

- “that is the stupidest thing you’ve ever said” right sentiment, terrible delivery

- the way roman says “you’re just blowing smoke” is a Lot and very much like his fishing for validation but I don’t blame him for it, after what he’s just admitted it’s truly understandable that he needs that validation

- Thomas’ point about feelings motivating him is REALLY good bc we are all motivated by our emotions

- “Doing nothing is even worse!” i mean you’re not wrong but not in the way you think,,

- Logan/Deceit (I do think it’s deceit at this point) using the oxygen mask metaphor is really great to me!!! I love that metaphor & I was going to be a flight attendant so it’s something I thought about a lot. I’ll talk about it more when Deceit brings it up again lol

- “Uuuh I do need help” mood thomas mood

- “Temporarily put himself first” oof

- “It’s easy to say what we would hypothetically do...” hard agree

- Watching logan/deceit huff and roll his eyes solidifies for me that it is deceit like something about it feels unlike Logan lol I can’t explain why

- Roman nodding along with the explanation of why leisure is important makes me very happy

- “Oh is it not? Please correct me if I’m wrong” and the way the sprite pressing further and further and being more expressive with his hands and eyebrows like damn. that’s deceit!!

- Patton’s breakdown is Iconic I love the glitching and the way it zooms out to show the layout of the living room and the way he explodes ahhhhhhh so good

- why does the frog have abs that’s my one question

- lilypadton ahdhajfka I love it

- DECEIT EX MACINA THE REVEAL IS SO GOOD as soon as he started punning (cut through this bull...frog) I was like 👀 AND THEN THE LINES AND THE CAPE AND THE LORD OF THE LIES IM HAPOY TO OBLIGE

- “CODE YELLOW”

- the deceit sprite is so cute :))))

- Deceit pulling Thomas behind him we have to stan

- “Richer than Jeff Bozos” I LOVE that roman I love you

- Deceit calling him out and the way the words themselves turn into attacks is such a fun detail

- Frog Patton still punning even in serious moments is so on brand

- Deceit dodging while thomas gets hit is a solid metaphor

- “The plane is going down, you need to give thomas some room to breathe” oof like it needed to be said but oof

- The health bars changing to “Thomas’ mental health” OOF LADS WE’RE REALLY IN IT NOW

- the way thomas looks when he steps back into frame cracks me up

- “We can still beat him! We’ve beaten him before!” oh roman, but it’s not a fight against deceit :((

- the snakes on the plane ref lmao “I’m sick of this morality fighting snake on this metaphorical plane” whoever wrote that line... I want to give them a high five truly iconic

- Deceit is so much more playful and showing more diverse personality in this ep and I’m living for it

- final fantasy!! the og version turn by turn which is what I like to play lol also the villain they’re fighting kinda looks like Virgil and idk how to feel about that

- Deceit looking away as soon as logan pops up lmaoooooo

- “Not that any of you care...” logan baby no!!!!! I care!!!!

- Effective Altruism explanation and Logan making a point to go “it employs the heart and the mind” like ... reminding Patton that they need to work together and they’re on the same side I’m soft

- Deceit and Logan agreeing warms my heart they’re both so good and ahhhh

- “Emphasis on the ‘sometimes’ though, right?” “Yeah sure whatever — I mean yes! Of course!”

- I also love how deceit addresses thomas directly they don’t do that a lot but it makes sense cause deceit is really trying to persevere thomas’ self

- Him calling roman noble and roman not believing it :((( deceit trying to be honest and ahhhhh I’m so sad

- “Selflessness isn’t always the answer” which was exactly what svs was supposed to be about

- “What do you almost all things?” “Oh you’re right we wouldn’t want to plant too many trees, imagine how much CO2 might absorbed”

- lmao why am I so impressed by Roman’s deceit impression when they’re literally the same person

- roman flipping out and attacking deceit is a Big Yikes but it’s totally in character bc roman has always been black and white even more so than Patton and it’s been building to an arc for a loooong time so I’m very excited

- Deceit taking off his glove.... saying his name......... I can’t process this

- JANUS!!!!!!!!!! It’s so good it’s perfect I love it I love him

- roman immediately laughing yikesssss

- “Oh roman thank god you don’t have a moustache otherwise between you and remus I wouldn’t know who the evil twin is” YIKESSS but also valid deceit is at a breaking point

- “I thought I was your hero” “you are!”

- I’m going to be thinking about deceit’s—JANUS’S—nod for a long time....was he agreeing with Thomas or was he saying that Thomas was lying ahhhhhhh

- “Everything’s going to be okay. We love you.” “...right” AH MY HEART

- I want to give roman a hug

- Patton asking Janus for advice like right away and Janus not being great at first but coming around quickly with the ever true “it depends” like I love the two of them together the DYNAMIC POTENTIAL

- Janus does seem fond of Patton which is cute I can’t wait for everyone to be friends again lol

- ACTUAL LESLIE ODOM JR I CANNOT

- how did they make that happen,,,, how wild

- the clapping

- “This sanders sides not odom sides,, I’m not threatened at all” that is, somehow, a mood

- “don’t kill, don’t steal, easy conclusions to come to” “even those can get iffy” “I don’t want to think about that... but maybe that proves my point!” you what we call that? growth

- “Giving too simple answers to complicated questions can do more harm than good” “mmhmm”

- “So I’m sorry! Again!” Poor boy is trying to hard and I love him :((( so much <3333

- “Oh yeah that’s cool, talk about me like I’m not here” I love you Janus!!!”

- “I’ll take care of him” and then immediately joking around and trying to make thomas laugh is very cute thomas needed something lighthearted after all of that ahhh

- “You’re not stuck with an EVIL snake boy...you’re just stuck with a snake boy!!” I LOVE YOU JANUS what an adorable nerd I would die for him

- and how excited he gets about being called right he deserves it

- “I love how much you like these constant dilemmas so please keep overthinking things” you know what I needed to hear that man

- “You can’t get doing good down to a science” WORD

- the message of treating yourself well & finding the right balance between that and doing good for others being a personal thing is very good and much needed

- Lee and Mary Lee are onscreen for like 3 minutes and I love them so much

- “So this is what you do for a living? Comedy?” “Yeah I’m a hack”

- Patton and Janus chilling on the same screen... I adore them

- “Seems like things worked out after all... I was wrong about everything!” “You and I both know that’s not true” and Patton’s soft little smile I love them!!!!

- “Odom sides would cool!” like actual Leslie Odom Jr said that.... I’m shook

- okay that’s the end it’s just as much a rollercoaster the second time around no I am not okay, thank you for your time

[nochuuuenthusiast]

meeting his parents

okay so i’m back to posting on a daily basis ! yayyy~ 

also i’m sorry that this scenario and some of the other ones are being posted later than expected... i kinda lost track of all the things i needed to write in order so i’m just jumping around; hope you don’t mind... hehe

plot: you go to busan to meet jungkook’s parents for the first time

genre: fluff

word count: 2240

You were sitting in the bedroom, waiting for Jungkook so that you could continue watching your show together. He had just gotten a phone call from his mother and although you wanted to know what happened to the main character after his girlfriend died in a tragic car accident, you wanted to wait for Jungkook so that you could find out together. 

I wonder why his mom called... I hope everything’s okay...

After what seemed like 10 minutes, you were getting impatient so you went to the living room to see if Jungkook was almost done with his call. 

You peeked your head through the door frame and saw that Jungkook’s back was turned towards you so you gave him a back hug as you approached his figure. 

“Oh ok eomma... heheeh... ok, I’ll call you back later...uhh~ bye~” he said as he ended his call. He turned around and gave you a peck on your cheek. 

“Is everything okay? Why did your mom call?” you asked. 

“Ahaha yeah, everything’s okay... she just invited us to visit her this weekend.” 

Your face froze... OH MY GOD,,, his parents want to meet me? AHHHHH what do I do?!!! 

“(y/n)? (y/n)?? Are you okay?” Jungkook waved his hands in front of your face after noticing your expressionless face. 

No... I am definitely not okay...

“Ummm....” 

Jungkook laughed as he continued to notice your fright. He knew you were probably very nervous about meeting his parents; although you guys had been dating for almost a year and a half, you had never officially met his parents. They always saw you guys in the news but the only time you had “met” them was when you had accidentally appeared on Jungkook’s phone screen when he was video-calling them. It’s not that he was scared of bringing you home to his parents, but just that you guys never had the time to go all the way down to Busan. Jungkook’s parents had always really wanted to meet you since Jungkook was constantly talking about you... 

What if they don’t think I’m good enough for him... they probably expected him to be with another celebrity... ahhhh!! What am I gonna do?!!!

Jungkook could sense your nervousness since he saw you picking at your nails... you only did that when you were very nervous about something. 

He went behind you and massaged your shoulders to release your tension.

“Why are you so nervous?” he rested his head on your shoulders and embraced you as he wrapped his arms around yours. 

“What if they don’t like me?” Your sub-conscience insecurities were flowing out... you felt like you were inadequate and you were starting to question yourself...

His parents are probably going to realize that I’m not fit for him and that he should be with someone else... someone prettier and cuter and nicer and... why is he even with me? 

"(y/n), they’re gonna love you... I’ve already told them so much about you and they already think you’re perfect... don’t worry too much... it’s nothing formal anyways, okay?” 

You nodded your head. Jungkook’s reassurance released a little bit of your tension but you were still kind of worried.

“I told them that we’d be there this Saturday in the afternoon so that we can eat dinner together.”

“Well, we should bring something right? Maybe flowers? No... that seems too rushed and last minute... they might think I didn’t prepare anything before hand... wait actually... flowers might be nice if we buy a huge bouquet of them... right? Okay... wait... what kind of flowers does your mom like? Roses? No... too over the top... what about lilies? Does she even like lilies?” you rambled on by yourself.

Jungkook smiled as he saw you panicking by yourself. 

“She likes orchids. White and pink ones.”

“Oh~ she likes orchids? Okay... we’ll get her a huge bouquet of orchids,” you said as you pulled your phone out in order to write a memo down. 

She’s so cute... I’m sure they’ll love her... I mean... who doesn’t love her? 

Jungkook took you by the hand and led you back into your shared bedroom. “Come on... no more stressing... let’s finish your show.”

You finished writing your memo and put your phone away while Jungkook jumped onto his side of the bed and resumed the show. You climbed into the bed as well and cuddled into his shoulder and sighed heavily... you really hoped this would go well... 

“(y/n)~ are you ready?” Jungkook called from the front door, asking if you were ready to leave.

“One minute!” you said from across the apartment... you were still sitting at the vanity Jungkook had made for you a while back... you wanted to make sure you looked the best you’ve ever looked. 

You were aiming for the “natural look” so that it didn’t seem like you were being too vulgar and you wanted to leave your best impression on Jungkook’s parents. You put very light base makeup on with a little bit of eye shadow as well as a translucent lip gloss. You didn’t want to out do yourself. 

You got up and walked to the full body mirror in the corner of your bedroom. You looked straight ahead in the mirror and touched your hair and looked at your outfit one last time to make sure that everything was in place. You had curled your hair slightly in order to match the “innocent and feminine” look that you were going for with your outfit. You wore a light colored summer dress since Jungkook thought that it perfectly “matched your complexion”... or whatever he said... with some white flats. 

Okay... this is it. I hope I look okay... 

You walked out of the bedroom and towards the front door with the bouquet of flowers in one hand and your purse in the other. 

Jungkook’s eyes widened as you walked towards the shoe rack. Wow... she looks so gorgeous... 

He took the flowers out of your hand so that your hands wouldn’t be too full. 

“You look beautiful (y/n),” he said as he blushed. He felt the love and amazement that he had felt the day that he first met you... it seemed like he always seemed to fall in love with you, over and over and over again. It was an endless cycle. 

You smiled from the compliment that you had just received. “Really? Do I look presentable?” you asked... your worries coming back to you. 

“Yeah... you look perfect.” 

“Well, let’s just hope your parents think that way too,” you commented as you laughed. 

You finished putting on your shoes and you walked out of the front door with Jungkook trailing behind you... 

They’re gonna love her. 

Your fate was sealed. You were right in front of Jungkook’s parent’s home. You were definitely not ready. 

Jungkook nearly forced you out of his car after you arrived since your restlessness kicked in again. 

“Wait wait wait! Let me fix my hair again,” you said in the car when Jungkook told you that it was time to go in. 

You pulled down the mirror from the passenger seat of the car and Jungkook stared at you as you frantically shifted your hair back and fro for what seemed like a billion times until your hair ended up in the same exact place as it had been before you even touched it. Jungkook giggled at you. You were being so paranoid for no reason... he already knew that you were perfect no matter what you did. 

Now that you were standing right outside of his parent’s doorstep, you could hear your heart pounding and you were starting to question yourself again.

Jungkook looked at you and saw that you were picking at your nails again so he took his hand out of his pocket and reached to grab your hand... his hand was warm... you felt a little better. 

You rang the doorbell and almost instantly you could hear the sound of Jungkook’s mother bustling inside the home, trying to get everything ready. After a minute or two, his mom opened the door and greeted you with her biggest smile.

Ah... so he gets his smile from his mom. 

You bowed to her in an almost 90 degree angle, making sure that you knew that you were well-mannered and you handed her the pink and white orchids that you bought. 

“Annyeonghaseyo~” you say as you let go of Jungkook’s hand. 

“Eomma annyeong~” Jungkook greets. He takes his shoes off and enters his home. 

“We got you flowers~ I’m sorry we couldn’t get anything better but, I hope that you’ll like these...” you said... you felt uneasy.

“OH myyy... (y/n)! How sweet of you... thank you so much... how did you know I liked orchids?” 

“Ahaha, that wasn’t me... that was all Jungkook.”

“Well, it’s still very kind of you~ I’m so happy that you guys visited.” Her warm smile was very contagious. 

“Do you know why orchids are my favorite flowers?” You shook your head.

“When Jungkook’s dad showed up to my house to ask for my hand in marriage, he gave me the prettiest orchid I’ve ever seen... and obviously everything worked out well...” It seemed like she couldn’t stop smiling. 

That’s so cute... maybe Jungkook takes after his dad when it comes to being romantic. You smile to yourself so that no one could see. 

“Come come,” Jungkook’s mom said. “Let’s go eat... I have everything set up already and Jungkook’s dad went out to buy some wine so he’ll be back soon.”

You followed her into the dining room and your jaw dropped when you saw the entire table with food.

Oh my goodness... it must have taken her the whole day to prepare this for us... she must be really tired... 

“Ahaha... it wasn’t that tiring... anything for my Jungkook and his lovely girlfriend,” Jungkook’s mom replied as she walked over to her seat and extended her chair to sit down. 

Oh no... did I say that out loud??? 

You smiled awkwardly in embarrassment. I can’t believe I said that... AHH 

Jungkook took a seat across from his mom and you sat next to him... trying not to make the situation even more awkward than you’ve already made it for yourself.

“So... (y/n), how did you and Jungkook meet?” 

“Well... I used to work for Bighit as an intern 2 years ago during the winter and Jungkook noticed that I was new and... the rest is history.”

You turned your head to see Jungkook’s reaction and surprisingly, he was already facing you. He remembered that day as if it was yesterday.

“Well, Jungkook seems to love you very much... he talks about you a lot you know... he reminds me of his dad...” 

Ding dong.

“Oh! I think that’s Jungkook’s dad... I’ll go get it...” she said as she stood up from her seat to get the door. 

“How am I doing?” you asked while you leaned over to Jungkook.

“Calm down... I told you not to worry... she loves you,” he crinkled his nose and reassured you that everything was fine. 

Pheww... just stay calm... you got this... 

You stood up quickly when you saw Jungkook’s dad and bowed to him. “Annyeonhaseyo~” you said.

Wow... Jungkook looks exactly like his dad... they’re both so... charming. 

“Oh~ (y/n)! Good to finally see you... I was curious how my future daughter-in-law looked like.” 

Future daughter-in-law? 

You blushed and he took a seat next to Jungkook’s mother so that we could all start eating dinner. 

“Do you drink wine, (y/n)?” 

“Ahah, yes... but only on special occasions,” you replied. 

“Great! Hand me your wine glass, let me pour you some.” 

After accepting your wine, you felt a little more comfortable with Jungkook’s parents. They asked you about your career as well as your plans for the future. Surprisingly, you laughed a lot as Jungkook’s parents shared a bunch of stories of Jungkook during his childhood. Jungkook’s cheeks flushed red in embarrassment when his parents starting exposing some stories that he thought you’d never hear. You were enjoying this more than you thought you would. Seeing you so care-free in front of his parents made Jungkook’s heart warm. 

“(y/n)... can you get another bottle of wine for us? It’s in the pantry on the left,” Jungkook’s mom said. You were quick to respond to her request and got up to go to the pantry. 

When you had left the dining room, Jungkook’s mom turned around to make sure that you were gone and looked to Jungkook’s direction. 

“So... when are you planning on asking?” she whispered. 

Jungkook looked down and smiled. 

“On our second anniversary... so, soon,” he said. 

“Ah I can’t believe our son is all grown up now... asking his parents for permission for marriage...” his dad said. “Good job son, she’s a keeper... I know it...” 

“Thank you appa... I love her so much... I hope she says ‘yes’...” Jungkook says. 

They could hear your footsteps which indicated that you were about to enter the dining room again. 

When you walked in, you handed Jungkook’s mom the wine bottle and went back to your seat. Jungkook stared at your beauty while you continued the conversation that you were having with his parents before you had left the room. 

Yeah... she’s definitely a keeper...

I can’t find anymore Rammstein fics. Any recommendations?

Absolutely!!

Firstly, The Other Side of Midnight is my favorite Rammstein fic! “Till and Paul tell each tales to pass a sleepless night.” Paul and Till share stories about how they fucked Schneider, basically. I really like this one because one of Paul’s stories takes place in Feeling B era and I soak that shit up like a sponge. Plus it’s written beautifully. Like, this is one of those fics that makes me envious it’s so damn good. Read it or else!!!!

Fried Eggs and Honey - “Feeling B are just becoming established, but Paul wants more. He doesn’t know exactly what it is that he wants, though - not until he meets the shy, mysterious Till.” A super cute fic that I read all in one night. It’s written so realistically and casually that you can’t help but feel like you’ve lived the moment. I love fics that actually feel genuine. And Till is adorable. And Paul is so Paul. This fic literally had me punching the bed because they wrote Paul so spot-on. His faults and flaws, when he was young. Read this one. It’s so cute and perfect and the romance is written so realistically and ahhhh

Heroic & Durable by @zigratbites - “Paul has an accident on stage, but decides the show must go on anyway. This leads to some yelling, h/c and kissing.” Another great, wonderful, perfect fic where they capture Paul’s personality well. He’s a dedicated dumbass who will do whatever it takes to get something done well, and this shows in this fic. The side of Chrispaul does not hurt one bit, either. Love this one so much!!!

Lied der unruhevollen Jugend by @wiener-blut​ - “After spending some time at a party, Christoph and Paul meander back to Paul’s flat, wasted, to have some more fun.” I LOVE THIS FIC another Feeling B era fic, done by the lovely Lily, for my birthday ;w; It’s so cute and fun and she is always so spot-on when it comes to portraying their personalities. Def read!!

Scent - “Paul is careless; Christoph gets mad.” I love this one. It’s short, but so so sweet. I’m a sucker for fluff. And they wrote them both well, too. It’s so cute ahhhh

Jetzt hab’ ich dich by @wiener-blut - “Attending a sophisticated ball, a particular man catches her eye.” A DRSG ‘98 AU where the reader is attending the ball and Paul approaches and dances with you ahhHHHHH I LOVE THIS ONE IT MAKES ME MELT

Rock Star - “Till overhears things on the tour bus.” Paul and Schneider flirt, with Till sitting in another room, hearing it. It’s from Till’s perspective. It’s really cute and funny!! Inspired by this pic:

rein, raus - “Paul could never shut up, especially at the most important of times. Like when fucking with Christoph on a tour bus while their band mates are sleeping.” summary says it all LMAO I think this was the first smutty Rammfic I read and actually enjoyed.

All My Marks On Your Skin - “Paul can’t remember when seeing Schneider’s claim on his skin became such an essential part of his life.” Post-concert fic where they stand in front of a mirror and Schneider touches his bruises! It’s Good™.

Fluffy Slippers by @writing-rammstein (go and read all of her fics honestly, they’re all cute and perfect) - “For the prompt: ‘can u hook a gal up with some good ol reader/paul hugging?'” A request made by me LMAO This is super cute and sweet, I love it so much T__T

Herr Lorenz - “After an inconsiderate joke, Flake feels insecure. Paul might just have the solution to it.” Feeling B era!! This was one of the first Rammstein fics I ever read…It’s so sweet. I love their friendship so much ahhhhh

A Special Delivery by @wiener-blut - “Richard’s hunger for pizza turns into a whole different hunger.” Basically a scenario, just like in a porn video, where Richard seduces the pizza delivery man (Schneider) and it devolves into pretty rough smut HAHA I love it so much–Lily is so wonderful at describing and capturing their characters, AU or not!! This one is both hot and funny (mostly hot) so def give it a read. 

And @krispy-posts is an excellent author as well, though I don’t think she posts her works publicly!! 

I hope you see some you like, Anon! I’m actually working my way through the Rammstein AO3 tag right now, because I never really made a thorough scan through it before. I just browsed ship tags that pertained to me. So, I’ll probably add to this later in time!

Character Descriptions so far: Reader- Chronic Depression, Derealization Disorder and Dissociative Amnesia Jin - Narcissistic Personality Disorder (With homicidal tendencies) Suga- Narcolepsy and Chronic Depression J-Hope- Bipolar II Disorder Chapter 5: Reflection:

       You, J-hope, and Jungkook walk back to the lounge where everyone else should be. You couldn’t help but smile. You’re starting to get to know the boys more and in a way, it’s very comforting. ‘For once in my life...Could I really be happy?’

       As you’re walking, you feel like someone is looking at you. You look to your left and J-hope is walking next to you with his eyes looking forward. You slow your walking a little bit and you see Jungkook trying to get a glimpse at you. Your eyes meet and this time he didn’t look away. His cheeks start to turn pink. Your lips move on your own, “Kookie…” Just then Jungkook turned bright red and he started to walk faster to the lounge. ‘Oh no! Why did I say that again!? Aghhh! Why do I gotta be this way…’

       You arrive with J-hope to the lounge and see that all the boys along with other patients are sitting quietly. You guys grab the next available seat. 

       “What’s going on?” You ask the rest.   

       “Looks like the big man himself wants to make an announcement,” says Rap Monster in a low growl.

       “Good afternoon everyone. As you all know, I am Dr. Seung Ho Choi, the founder of Be Free Behavioral. My goal is to further the science behind mental illnesses by *ahem* experimental means. In the next few weeks, we will be upping evaluations and eventually be splitting you all up into different groups, called controls. Then… That’s when the experimentation will begin,” he says with a creepy smile that makes you all cringe. 

       The preppy nurse interjects, “Well isn’t that just exciting news!”

       “So, this is what you meant… You’re right. He can’t be trusted. But, what do we do?” you whisper to Rap Monster with concern.

       “That’s the issue…” before Rap Monster could continue, the nurse starts talking again.

       “Since the doctor will be commencing his evaluations immediately, we’re a bit short-staffed during what would have been our group sessions,” the nurse visibly frowns. “I know, it makes me sad too! So, we will be playing a movie: Inception. We also have popcorn for you guys as a treat! I will be returning later to check up on you guys!” She skips away.

       “Oh! I love this movie. The human mind is very interesting… The way we think, the way we feel, and even the way we dream. The ones where it’s a dream within a dream… And we’re not really even sure if our current state is reality or dream…” Rap Monster says as he starts to trail off.

        “Ah ha… Yeah. If anything I think I know how that feels better than anyone,” you mumble nervously.

        “Hm? What do you mean?” he says as he tilts his head. 

        “Oh uh, never mind! Hey uhm, do you think we could talk somewhere? Some things are better talked about in private,” you say as you look around to make sure no one else is listening in.

        “Follow me.” You follow Rap Monster out the lounge and down the hall to his room. You notice something that you never noticed before. It looked like he was counting his steps and even was making sure he walks a certain way. 

        Just then, Rap Monster reaches his room. He turns the knob, but turned it a certain number of times before he actually opened it. ‘I wonder if this is part of his condition?’

        “AHHHHH!!” Rap Monster immediately trips over himself and he stumbles into a massive bee line until he manages to grip onto the desk though his legs continue to wobble. 

        “O-oh! Rap Monie, you okay?” you try to help him up.

        “Ah, I’m such a klutz. I just organized this room too… Please forgive me. I need to tidy up before I let you sit,” he scurries around the room picking up things he knocked over.

        “Please, let me help you!” you insisted.

        “No no, you’re my guest and I’m the host,” he says as he continues to clean. As you stand nearby watching, you see that he organizes things in a particular way. By the type of item, by color, by size, and everything in between. He even makes small tweaks to the positioning of the items. ‘He’s quite interesting.’

        “Y/N, please sit,” he motions you to sit at the edge of his bed while he takes a seat at the desk. He almost missed the chair and nearly fell again! ‘This boy…’

        “Ah, you need to be more careful!” you say with worried eyes.

        “Don’t worry about me, hehe, I’m just fine. Juice?” he pulls out two boxes of juice and offers you one.

        “W-what? How’d you sneak these in here?” you take the juice box and start drinking.

        “My little secret. You can’t be a leader and not have some tricks up your sleeve,” he tries to sip from the juice box all sly, but the straw missed his mouth about five times. You giggle.

        “I uh, I was wondering…” you stop because you don’t want to offend the leader by your question.

        “You were wondering what got me in here, don’t you?” he puts down his juice box.

        “Ah, y-yes, but if you don’t want to tell me, I understand...I just wanted to get to know you a little better is all,” you say while picking at the juice box.

        “Of course. Well, I’m sure you’ve noticed my uh, habits. The way I carry myself and how I do things. It’s… Different from others,” his face all of a sudden got more serious.

        “W-what? Noooo I -” he raises his hand to stop you.

        “Y/N, it’s okay. It’s hard not to notice. You see, I wasn’t always this way…”

        “You weren’t always clumsy?” you instantly cover your mouth. ‘Why do you have to be such a smart ass sometimes!?’

        “Hahaha! Good one, Y/N! No, no, I wasn’t always so… Particular about things. Being the leader means I need to take care of my group and the boys individually. That’s a big responsibility and sometimes I can’t handle the stress. Well, it caused me to develop habits that I can’t control. Thus, my obsessive compulsive disorder. The fact I’m super clumsy just makes it all the more worse,” he starts to rub the back of his head. “I uhm, I got so carried away with my OCD at one point that the boys found me in my room walking in circles and just spewing out random words, numbers, and nonsense… Having a complete mental breakdown was definitely not a good look as a leader.” Rap Monster sighs before he continues.

        “I know, every life’s a movie. We got different stars and stories, we got different nights and mornings, our scenarios ain’t just boring. All of the members, they have different dreams and aspirations. It is my job to help them get there. I care so much about them that, it drives me insane… Don’t get me wrong, I would die for each one of them. But you know, sometimes I really really hate myself. Heh, too be honest, quite often, I really hate myself. And do you know what I do? I just stand there with the familiar darkness,” Rap Monster starts to hit his head with a tight fist.

        You quickly get up to stop him and hold him close, “I’m so sorry… You carry such a big role on your shoulders. But, you need to remember how important you are to others. You’re important to me too, you know?” you bring his head towards your chest to rest on and you feel him start to relax.

        “It’s just that… I want the world for my boys. But, the world is just another name for despair. How am I supposed to give them everything when the world is so cruel? I just… I am all of my joy and anxiety. It repeats everyday, the love and hate directed to me. And everyone else knows where they’re supposed to be, but only I walk without purpose. I wish I could love myself. I wish I could love myself. I wish i could -”

        “Stop! Please, stop…” you hold him tight. “Do you really believe everyone finds their purpose in life? Many people die before ever finding what their purpose is, and that’s okay. But, you need to love yourself just as much as your boys love you. I see the way they look at you and respect you. I think without you… Things wouldn’t be the same. Maybe that’s your purpose. Being the rock for them, their cheerleader, their friend, their leader. All of those things,” you smile as you start to shed tears. 

        “Y/N, I’m sorry to have made you cry. But, thank you… Your words were truly kind. I feel… I feel I understand now. Now is not the time to give up and feel weak. If anything, they need me more than ever.”

        Just then you hear the door creak open and you look to see who it is. ‘N-no… It’s Jungkook!’ He sees you holding Rap Monster still. You step back and try to explain, “w-wait! Jungkook!” it didn’t work. He immediately ran off. ‘Great… Now there’s definitely no chance for me’

        You fall to your knees in defeat and mumble to yourself, “ugh, why am I so stupid.”

        Rap Monster comes up behind you and puts a hand on your shoulder. “I bet you are also wondering how to approach our maknae, huh?”

        “Am I that obvious?” you hide your face.

        “Nahhhh… Maybe,” he sticks a tongue out at you. “Well, being the golden maknae that he is, he is pretty shy and individualistic. His motto is ‘living without passion is like being dead’. With that said, I’ll leave it up to you,” he starts to exit his room.

        “...Wait, hold up. That wasn’t any advice at all!” you start to run after him, but he turns around abruptly making you stop dead in your tracks.

        He pokes your forehead, “just be yourself. He is just as random, funny, and rebellious as you are. In fact I bet he would have loved your comment earlier about me being clumsy. He definitely would have laughed.”

        “Rebellious? What makes you think that I am?” you nudge him.

        “Don’t you also want to get out of here?” he nudges back.

        You both smile in mutual agreement. Both of you walk back to the lounge and sneak back into the seats you were previously in. Just in time too. The nurse walks back in to call out a name for an evaluation.

        “Park, Jimin. Please follow me,” she says in a much serious voice. It’s definitely not what you’re used to. Usually she’s a lot perkier.

        “Be strong, don’t let them get to you,” Rap Monster says before Jimin exits the lounge. 

        You and the rest of the boys feared for Jimin. “So uh, that plan of yours…” you whisper to Rap Monster.

        He nods. “It starts now.”
