꒦꒷ enhypen ! and your infamous ship with them<3

idol-ot7!enhypen x idol-fem!reader .. fluff .. no warnings<3 not proofread!!

read pt.1 here!! — since you all liked it<3

ε ї з — heeseung

as if his heart eyes for you at the interview weren’t enough, heeseung started talking about you a lot in his lives, which only adds to your fan’s delusions.

he’d go on and talk about his day in his lives when all of a sudden he’d turn on some music and the first song he’d pick would be one of your songs.

“this song is so good, i listen to it almost every day, this artist y/n is really talented i really love her songs” he’d say with a big smile.

and oh, this is definitely not the end, he’d also go on and rant about the first time meeting you and tell them about those times when you bumped into each other, as if he’s telling his best friend about a new crush he has.

“i was walking down the aisle when i accidentally bumped into her, she was in a bit rush so she apologized quickly and ran away, it was so funny i didn’t know what to do” he’d giggle, “after that she saw me again and even got me a snack, that’s cute”

with delusional fans, comes the delusional tweets of fans, and the conspiracies about heeseung having a crush too (which might be true)

“if i wasn’t so sure before, now im more than 100% sure that this boy is having a crush on her, and i’m all in for it!!”

ε ї з — jay

a week after the valentine’s day story blew up, jay went on a live again, just casually talking with his fans that he loves and appreciates so much.

jay was ranting about a cake his mom made him,and explained how cool the design she did looked, to the point where he actually took his phone and scrolled through his gallery to show them a picture.

usually, when idols show their phones on lives or such, they’d turn off their notifications, only this time jay was so into it that he forgot to do it.

at the same time you, being the good old friend you are, responded to a text he sent you a few minutes ago, even before he started the live.

as he was showing his picture on his phone to the fans he also got a notification from you, it was a matter of a few seconds for fans to realize your contact name, and a few seconds for jay to realize he’s doomed.

jay tried to laugh it off but it was too late. now even those who didn’t ship you two and had doubts about it are left speechless.

“i admit i didn’t believe the valentine’s day story and their ship, but now knowing they text each other and probably do every day too? YES!!”

ε ї з — jake

your old meet up with jake was actually filmed for a short vlog, you both work under the same company so it was pretty common to meet up and get it filmed.

a few days after the scandal blew up, a really short vlog of the both of you got released.

fans rushed to watch it and see any clue of jake since it was rumored he was going to be there. the short film got around 100k+ in no time!

fans felt like swooning whenever they watched your interactions, you and jake even spoke in english, considering the fact that you both are foreigners and feel comfortable speaking in english.

jake never looked more shy than when he was literally standing next to you, holding his signed album and just waiting for the right moment to give it to you.

if you’d ask any fan that watched this short vlog, they’d probably tell you they’re 100% sure that something is up with the both of you. the way that he looked at you was something fans never saw before, and the way that you looked at him was as if you finally got to talk with your crush after years of crushing over him.

“i NEVER thought i’d be able to see both of my ults in one frame together!! i bet you a million dollars that they’re dating and fight me if they’re not!! it seemed like they tried to hide it but it looked too overact”

ε ї з — sunghoon

everyone’s favorite ambassadors!! your couple photoshoot got so famous that even people who never heard of the two of you refused to believe you’re not dating.

on your first photoshoot together, you and sunghoon did some funny tiktok challenges that got super famous to the point that people started making edits out of them.

ever since then, each time you’d see each other you’d make a tiktok together, wether it’s a dance challenge or just a very trendy tiktok hence, it wasn’t such a surprised that enhypen’s tiktok account and your tiktok account was filled with tiktoks of the both of you together.

fans brought up new conspiracies of the both of you going on short dates and filming tiktoks together, a whole new chaos was created.

if you thought these tiktoks were enough then think again because not only your tiktok was filled with the both of you, but you also made sure to take many many photos and post it on instagram.

i think out of all ships, yours and sunghoons shippers are being fed so well honestly and they never ever complain about it.

“i never heard about these two until i saw their photoshoots!! you can’t tell me they’re not dating?? and we get too many contents of them two im fully convinced they’re just dropping hints”

ε ї з — sunoo

new years awards came in fast, and all fans were looking forward to collab stages, it was rumored that a lot of 3rd gen and 4th gen are going to perform together, but fans never ever expected you and sunoo to be on one stage together.

him dancing to your performance in one award got so famous that fans even made memes about it, like “me when my favorite song is playing in one store” and more!

the thing is, this stage included only you and him, which made the fans go even more crazy. you and sunoo? on one stage? all alone? fans hoped so bad for that and it happened.

you and sunoo ate the performance, it included a lot of skinship and difficult moves that even fans who tried to cover the collab stage complained about it being really hard.

a stage between a female idol and male idol isn’t something that’s very popular lately (sadly!!!) so it was such a surprise that you and sunoo actually did it.

king and queen of kpop confirmed! your new ship nickname was formed in no time and other fans who watched your stage was mesmerized by how good you two look together.

“IM GOING CRAZY RN!! sunoo and y/n, boyfriend and girlfriend on one stage AND THEY ATE THAT PERFORMANCE!! imagine being on stage with your partner they’re so iconic for that!!”

ε ї з — jungwon

as weeks went by with you and jungwon being MCs, fans got used to see the both of you together every week, it became a routine for them to open their laptop and stream your live, they’ll always find the time to watch the two of you.

when your contract ended, fans were devastated and didn’t want to move on, they even considered to stop watching the show without having the two of you.

even in your last day, you and jungwon looked so sad and unmotivated which made fans even more sad than before. the memories you created will always stay in the show’s history and fans’ hearts.

i guess both of your fans got super lucky because your companies were smart enough to sign the both of you up to a new variety show!!

new content of the both of you together?? in one variety show?? your fans can’t be thankful enough honestly.

fans were going mad watching the both of you being too comfortable around each other, basically doing everything together and staying really close to each other.

“anyone else waiting for them to accidentally expose their relationship on this variety show? come on!! its too obvious they’re dating!!”

ε ї з — riki

ever since that time the both of you met accidentally, the coffee shop became super famous, mostly people who waits to catch the both of you together are going there.

ever since then, fate has its own ways of getting to you, and each time you’re going to buy coffee in local stores, you happen to see him too.

you once uploaded a photo of your coffee to your weverse account and fans noticed a very familiar figure, who just happened to upload a photo of his coffee with you in the background.

and if that wasn’t enough, you were caught by fans together in the same place and this time, even shared a really long conversation. it became a usual thing for the both of you to meet up whenever you’re off to buy coffee, as if you know where to go if you want to meet up.

fans refuse to believe that this is all a coincidence since the evidences are always there, you’ve been seen around each other too many times, even in photos you yourself uploaded.

at one point you just decided to upload a photo together and tease your fans a bit, and it actually worked because the next day you became trending as the coffee couple.

“coffee couple has done it again! do you think their dates must have coffee in it? like what if they go to watch a movie? popcorn and coffee? anyways im fully convinced they’re always planning it and we’re just here to watch”

[justherefortua]

finished the young blood book! Though it’s definitely YA rather than as mature, it gave me a lot of nostalgia for the post-S1 fics where people thought they were goin gto be ported to childhood, and I thought the little details and the way the characters were characterized was actually really good! I loved how many parallels there were to canon and the further elaboration on the day to day life of the Umbrella Academy (and Viktor)

I wouldn’t take the book as a 100% canon source, but here are some disconnected small details that I enjoyed: SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT

- Twice trying to wrangle the hargreeves is referred to as “herding cats”, which is very accurate

- Grace custom sews their outfits and adjusts them for each member 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Luther gets a new one every time he grows, Diego has secret compartments for his knives, Ben has tentacle openings, Viktor’s looks a little too big on him

- I could definitely see how this Luther turns into S1 Luther but also he’s such a good guy. He just wants to help people and receive hugs

- Diego;;; my goodness. He loves his mom and also very much has a black and white view of justice. This is when he figures out he likes all black utility gear rather than the uniform

- Allison )::: allison )::: It’s so weird to see her feel out of place among other girls considering she grows up to be a famous actress but I think it was a good moment, as well as foreshadowing for her whole issues with the rumors

- Klaus is so vibrant here. He learned how to hotwire a car (They call Hargreeves’ car Hermes) at 12 from a ghost, regularly sneaks out of the house through the sewage system (the siblings refuse to do this) and is the life of the party

- Five was mentioned and acknowledged a couple times and every time it made me go ): The revelation that Ben had a daily check-in with Klaus asking about whether he could see Five or not and always believed Five was out there somewhere destroyed me. My crumbs ): oh ):

- Ben is my favorite character so I’m so glad he gets a POV here and an actual voice! He definitely has a good heart but also definitely doesn’t fall into the solely “shy and totally passive” stereotype <3 also im just happy for content of umbrella ben i miss him

- Viktor!!! He isn’t sure if Mom claps for his violin because of if he’s actually good or. He’s very lonely but the kids do include him a little bit which is lovely. Definitely some parallels to S1 canon. Also! Some Viktor trans moments where he ruminates on that for a little bit without knowing the actual cause, the mirror line has relevance here. I thought it was handled nicely but obviously I can’t speak on experiences that aren’t my own.

Other misc details:

- Ben gets calmer under high pressure situations and therefore becomes pretty good at pool despite never having played

- Klaus likes to jump from roofs for the fun of it and just thinks his body is extremely resilient to head trauma. Klaus. Klaus no. 😭

- Diego uses “Boy Scout” as a insult for Luther, who doesn’t mind because Boy Scouts are supposed to be dependable

- Diego has always been pretty good at dancing

- The Umbrella Academy never stick around to clean up after themselves on missions

- Ben and Viktor can fit together in the passenger seat

- Favorite meals: Ben likes PB+J and potato chips, Klaus likes bubblegum ice cream, Diego likes roast beef, Luther hamburger and fries, and a hot dog for Allison (though according to her it hasn’t been her fav food in years, and also she forgot Five’s favorite and Viktor’s favorite)

- Klaus listens to heavy metal (to drown out the ghosts), Allison likes pop music

- Viktor learned how to drive one year before this book, taught by Pogo. He has his license! Klaus knows how to drive too but he drives much more recklessly lol

- Allison once had a solo magazine cover and she can’t remember whether she rumored for it or not (foreshadowing)

- Ben has never told anyone that the tentacles hurt when they come out ())):) [BODY HORROR TW] They are also literally slithering under his ski, he can feel em with his organs, and the skin is tender where they come out

- Allison knows CPR. and uses it after one of the siblings has a near death experience 👍

First Devlog?

Hello everyone...boy, there are a lot of you already, still trying to digest that...

So, I gather that I should do these logs on occasion. I do not know how often, perhaps just when I have a few things to say. I will try not to ramble too much, but my fingies like to talk.

Anyway, I am working on chapter 3 right now. There’s some fun moments so far in it that I hope you’ll like, and we’ll get to meet Zahn, Duri'naan, and then Rundis. I’m trying not to rush because there are some exciting scenes that I’m eager to get to. I’ve outlined them to tide myself over until I get that far. There’s some quiet moments you’ll get to have as well, and right now I feel like that’s what I’m struggling with. Those areas of my story are like bridges to the next, more exciting, parts and sometimes I feel like they fall a little flat. But, I’m trying to keep in mind this is my first draft. I’ll go through it another time or two to perk things up. Those moments are still important for letting the MC get to know each RO.

My mind has been in a million directions lately too, and I’ve had a lot of ‘duh’ moments. I’ve done so much world building since I started this last year (around August/September I think), that I have pockets of important details that I kinda just forgot! So, I plan to re-read all the notes I’ve made and try to also put them into one place. I have some in my phone, in a notebook, and in no less than three folders on my laptop. It’s a wonder I have survived this many years…

What you can expect for coming updates…

-A couple fixes, of course – thank you to those who found some of those pesky buggy bois for me.

-A nicer front page, instead of being slapped with my ramblings, I’d like to actually have a nice start page. I’ll figure it out eventually, lol.

-I’ll be adding a name bank to the MC’s Nameday scene that will also show you what each name means, so if that is important to you, it’ll save you the internet search. If it tickles your fancy, the name selection will correspond in some way to the marks (names meaning "night" or "storm," etc.) so you can theme your MC a bit.

-Extra coding in case you decide to shorten MC’s given name to just “Ravi.” I did not once consider that anyone would do this, and my first play-tester – my own spouse – did….He told me about it since it made some dialog with Oswin make zero sense, and then I published the story without fixing it because I completely forgot about it.

-Different contrast color for dark mode links. I feel like I have drastically improved this with a new gold color. In retrospect, I don’t know why I didn’t use the gold before. I love it as an accent, I use it all over! The blue never felt 100% right, but my brain shut down after thinking about it too long. Here’s a sample and a (M) Zahn tease:

When can you expect an update?

I’d like to make my next update during the Amare Games Festival, ideally containing both chapters 3 and 4 since they go pretty tightly together. This will also insure that you meet the rest of the posse. It’s a tall order for both chapters to be submitted on time, and I don’t want to rush them either, but I’m going to try really really hard, lol. I will focus first on polishing chapter 3, so that no matter what, I can at least get it out in time.

Here’s a link to the post about it:

And this is the submission time frame: open from March 31st 2024 at 11:00 PM to May 1st 2024 at 12:00 AM

As a side message, should you want to read on…

I also wanted to give you all a big, like really big, heartfelt thank you. I have received so many kind messages and comments that I just can’t believe it. I am so happy (and honestly, genuinely shocked) that you’re enjoying my IF, and I’m motivated to work hard so you also enjoy each new chapter of your journey. There’s so many secrets I want to share with you about the world, and I am struggling to be patient myself, lol.

I am not usually a very open or social person, and I was scared for a long time to share anything I wrote. I reached a point in my personal life in the last few years where I just needed to embrace what I loved to do and share it with a community that shares in that love. I encourage you to do the same whether there is a story in your heart, music on your lips, or a paintbrush in your hands. Life is NOT about your 8-5. We may not be able to survive without it, but whatever moment you can, do what you actually love. Put away the those things that don’t matter, the things that stress you - including people, and make time for who you are.

Thank you all and take care!

Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest episode 10: thoughts + opinions

Uneasy Erza

I'm totally not shocked that Juvia has practiced kissing in front of the mirror at some point in time (she has to perfect it for her beloved Gray, am I right?)

but she's so adorable regardless

Gray's facial expression tells me this isn't the first time he's seen her doing it

Juvia the secret Jerza shipper ⚔️✨

J: ''Before I leave, I would like to encourage you to do some training of your own.'' E: ''Y-yeah, I'm okay, I think...'' J: ''Your kissing has to be up to snuff, or else Jellal will be displeased!''

I love how Erza is trying not to think about Juvia's words and is also trying to convince herself she's not bothered by that, although you can tell she's clearly disappointed she and Jellal aren't a thing yet (I know they aren't technically a canon couple, but they are canon to me because it's so obvious they have feelings for each other and have so much history together compared to the other big 3 ships) + I love how she starts practicing kissing as well lmao

Tattered Gajeel

aww, I love how Gajeel's been taking on more jobs because he and Levy are expecting a baby😭❤️

they look so cute snuggled up against each other + Levy's hand on her baby bump

Lily being a part of their little family, awww

Lucy's Leo x Virgo Star Dress Mix is soooo pretty😭😭😭

I love Lisanna's reaction to the Star Dress Mix lmao

wow, Lisanna getting one-shotted? geez, what a surprise🙄

Mira still standing isn't a shocker considering the fact that SHE'S A S-CLASS MAGE, but Elfman still standing did suprise me though

I LOVED VIRGO NOT SHYING AWAY FROM HER MASOCHISTIC TENDENCIES AND WANTING TO BE PUNISHED

AHHHHHH, A JERZA ENCOUNTER COMING UP! 🎉

I CAN'T WITH THEM

E: ''Why did you strip?'' J: ''Because you're here. Enjoy it.'' 😏😏😏 E: ''Wow, he's completely out of his mind! I've got to take him down before this goes any further.''

Gray vs. Thunder Legion rematch?

I LOVE JEALOUS JUVIA! // ''Has she touched him with the bare skin of her feet?''

nice logic Fried: turning into a demon when you're going against a devil slayer?

is this the same Thunder Legion that kicked ass during the Battle of Fairy Tail arc? welp, they pretty much all got their asses handed to them by Gray lmao

the whole ''stop it, he's already dead'' meme but Fairy Tail edition

they way Gray used Evergreen's and Bickslow's powers to beat them was really hilarious and smart!

aww, I love how Gajeel didn't want to lose yet another battle to Natsu and how upset he was over the fact that Levy joined the battle despite being pregnant; I also can't believe Natsu aimed for LEVY'S STOMACH, but as much as he can be dumb as fuck sometimes, I'm so glad he was hesitant about attacking her in the end

''Because no matter what happens, you are my number one.'' 🖤🧡

sillies🫶🏻

J: ''I almost forgot how strong you are.'' E: ''Stop, you're too close!'' J: ''I'm just trying to get a better look. Who could blame me?''

goofy goobers

sillies #2 🫶🏻

''Woah, looks like I'm interrupting something.'' // WELL LAXUS, YOU MOST CERTAINLY ARE

EVEN THOUGH HE'S BRAINWASHED BY THE WHITE MAGE, JELLAL STILL DOESN'T WANT TO HURT ERZA AND WANTS TO PROTECT HER😭

Wraith's one hell of a weird dude, idc

As much as I really looked forward to all the Jerza moments getting dubbed, this episode wasn't the best one to watch, mostly because of Jellal's VA change (I hope to gods this is just temporary, because no one can do Jellal's voice like Robert McCollum, period).

[scrapheapchallenge]

"Just Neil Gaiman being wholesome again" but also Rob Wilkins being extra wholesome too! On Tuesday evening I went to this talk https://living-knowledge-network.co.uk/library/the-worlds-of-terry-pratchett By Rob Wilkins and Neil Gaiman.

Neil was co-author of "Good Omens" with Sir Terry Pratchett, and they collaborrated on many other books together here and there, just not sharing co-author status too - read this article for more info: http://www.elizabethcallaway.net/good-omens-stylometry?fbclid=IwAR2hVnd8aTYFBZqphk8SzYt8j1NucBl5mUxbDscF3kljQ9Bpuq2leUW2S6I Confirmed by Neil yet again on Tuesday.

Rob Wilkins was Terry's PA, and now manages his estate, as his representative. He also wrote "A life in footnotes" - the official biography of Terry.

On Tuesday evening, I arrived at the British Library very early, and was guided up to the Piggot Theatre lobby to wait by a security person, so I was there before anyone else, including Rob. All the staff were absolutely lovely. When they noticed there weren't any gaps for wheelchair spaces in the audotorium, facilities engineers were summoned and made short work of unbolting a set of 3 seats to make a wheelchair space for myself and another wheelchair user who turned up later.

Then Rob turned up, carrying a mannequin, Terry's leather jacket, scarf, hat, and other stuff.

Now the email we recieved before the event said that Neil wouldn't have time to do any signings that evening, although they didn't mention Rob, so I asked him if he might be able to sign my copy of "a life in footnotes".

He happily said yes, and once he'd sorted his things out, he came back out to chat to me for a while and OMG he was the loveliest person EVER!

I gave him a print I'd signed of my ink portrait of the Bentley, and some stickers of my other Bentley illustrations, and he said "WAIT! I have presents for you too! I'll be right back!" Then rushed off to the green room. (Below are the ink portrait, then I gave him small stickers of the "this is fine" flaming Bentley - which I was also wearing on my t-shirt that day - and my most recent digital portrait of Crowley and the Bentley - and yes it is all hand drawn, not a photo manipulation, feel free to zoom in. A couple of years separate these 3 drawings and I'd been working hard on learning photorealism.)

He came back and gave me Terry and Neil badges, which he explained you only get if you meet them in person. I had met Terry (and incidentally Rob as well) years ago at a book signing, plus I met Neil, albeit briefly, on Tuesday as he came through the lobby and said hello.

He was happy to chat and especially about cars, which he also loves. He confirmed that I was 100% correct about the "2 whole cars and a cab for CGI" between seasons 1 and 2, and that the interior colour change is nothing to do with plot it legitimately is just continuity errors if they forgot to cover the new Bentley's new seats with covers matching the old Bentley's orange ones. (The cab only also has orange leather seats).

When I told him about this year's RREC (Rolls Royce Enthusiast's Club - also for Bentleys) Christmas card design, he was delighted, and asked to take a photo of the image I had of one on my phone because he wants to order some as well.

I showed him my re-usable coffee cup from "give me coffee or give me death" which we were given on the set tour, and which I had Sir Derek Jacobi sign at a comic con the other week. Rob thought that was wonderful, and then did something extra sweet...

He asked me "if you're ok trusting me with this for a little while, would you like me to sneak it back to the green room to ask Neil to sign it for you as well? Then I'll come and find you afterwards to give it back again."

HELL YES! I couldn't believe it! I hadn't wanted to ask because we'd been told that Neil wouldn't be signing things due to lack of time, so for Rob to spontaneously make the offer was not something I was expecting. He did also take my Occult Edition of Good Omens to ask if Neil would sign that as well.

I didn't fully expect that he would, and was prepared for him to come back later and say "sorry he was too busy", and that would have been fine, but no: Neil DID sign them both!

Neil writing "burn this (big fancy) book!" was a spin on how Terry used to sign copies of Good Omens: "burn this book" - which is actually embossed on the rear cover of this edition.

Later, Rob also signed it for me, as did Colin Smythe, who was Terry's publisher and lifelong friend.

We were sitting at the front, only about 7 or 8 feet from Neil, the talk was wonderful, we laughed, we cried a little, and Terry was with us in the form of the mannequin with his jacket, scarf, and hat (which are also on set of Good Omens at all times while filming, and also even during rehersals/table reads - so he's always present.)

Rob is honestly so bloody wholesome, he was hugging a lot of people, and ever so sweet, taking time to chat to other people as the venue filled up, and stayed behind to sign things and talk to other folks as well.

I also got to chat to Dr Pat Harkin and Dr Jan Clarke, who were the researchers who spent months of hard work tracking down Terry's lost short stories in the national archives in Boston Spa, which were released in a compliation book "A stroke of the pen." If I'd known that they'd be there as well, I'd have taken that book and asked them to sign it too. They were in the audience and sitting next to us with Colin Smythe. I was truly surrounded by Pratchett royalty, and everyone, without exception, was SO friendly and lovely.

I had done two prints of the Bentley drawing and stickers, for Rob and for Neil, in case I got chance to give them to them, and when I gave Rob his, I said I had some for Neil as well, and again, he OFFERED to take them to give them to Neil for me.

Although I didn't get chance to thank Neil in person, I wanted to reach out to let him know I was very grateful for his kindness as well, so sent him a message via his "ask" channel, although not with an expectaction of reply - just for him to see privately and know that I was appreciative. But he chose to actually publish it as a public reply, which was lovely of him. I hadn't wanted to thank him publicly just in case he didn't want others to know that he had signed some items after all. I'd been expecting to have to wait until he did a proper public appearance with signing at a comic con or something - although with him living in the USA, not the UK, I may have had to wait a long time.

So I guess the answer is to getting an autograph - turn up 2 hours early, and be very VERY nice and polite to Rob Wilkins 😅 (but also don't expect results - I didn't, it just sort of happened).

[purpleandstarlight]

Here are my first thoughts on @hateweasel 's cielois fanfic DLTD, as I share them like 100+ chapters into the journey with my best friend (who hasn't read DLTD nor was ever really into Kuro) trough DMs. Here recapped for y'all.

- I FORGOT!! I DIDN'T KNOW HATE'S PRONOUNS AT THE BEGINNING SO WHEN I SPOKE WITH MY BEST FRIEND (In Italian, where they/them pronouns don't really exists unfortunately) I ALWAYS TRIED TO GET AROUND USING PRONOUNS SO AS NOT TO MISGENDER HER!! At some point (this time on ff.net, bc I usually read on ao3 so that's where I read DLTD first) I read on an author's corner the she/her pronouns and sent an ask to Hate (probably on anon bc that's how I was at first) to confirm and from then on I was finally able to get it together when talking about Hate.

-Hey Hate, remember when I sent you that anon ask talking abt how you reminded me of a French cartoon and you IMMEDIATELY recognized it as Code Lyoko? Yeah related to that whole "school thinks they're adoptive sibling" thing, I wondered why no one at school had questions about why the fuck the supposed siblings had that much non-platonic tension.

-My initial criticism that wasn't actually criticism on Hate bc I knew this was from 10 years ago and i honestly just read it as how teenage boys, especially at the time, behaved. It was criticism to just the boys, not the author. Criticism include:

1)the gay slurs the cast kept throwing around.

2)The way they all said that one in the Cielois was the "woman" - wich is something both homophobic and misogynistic.

3) the "yOuR'E sUcH a GIrL" insult that is, again, misogynistic.

4) Not a criticism to the teenage boys this time but to the girls. WHY are y'all sexualizing these gays?? GET A GRIP!!

-Not a criticism, but since we're talking about their teenager boy behavior that Hate got SO RIGHT: the COSTANT sex jokes related conversation they had. It didn't really bother me so its not criticism, its just very hormonal teen boy minded to bring everything back to that? So I wasn't really annoyed at the teenagers for being teenagers u know. I'm just adding it to the list of what I thought Hate got so well in the characterization of teenager boys.

-at some point my best friend lead me to realize that while everyone in school felt the tension between Cielois, no one had the bets running on when/if they would finally get together. Wich still makes me so sad because HATE, you missed on such a romance fanfic trope 😔 /jk

- Me at the start of the stadium arc when Kris starts being interested in...what the frick was his name?? Cameron?? Idk THAT ONE BLONDE DUDE: Oh so we're gonna have a couple of chill chapters where they are just gonna establish their relationships better!

Me, when the reapers are there and we discover about the bomb: W H A T

-Me: DLTD Suddently became Ouran Host Club? For?? Some reason??

My friend: You know what? It doesn't really surprise me. Imo this story will cover every work of literature ever existed before it ends.

-Mi initial dislike for the name Kristopherson. I still don't really like it but I'm used to it ig? Again no hate to Hate!! I just find it such an unnecessarily long name for his parents to give him? Like choose Kristopher, or Kris, why Kristopherson?? Now I know it's bc Kristopher is his father. And in general i understand that Rich People are Like That TM.

Me, while I was describing Kris's journey of self discovery to my best friend: At the beginning of the story, he was just this random bully who called Alois gay...wich i mean, it was true, but he didn't HAVE to be so mean about it...

Gonna cut this into parts so I don't kill my followers who aren't interested in my DLTD thoughts..i would use the read more thing but idk how to activate that?? Also I wrote this for some time now and I need a break lol

When the protectors are gone Part five

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

Got quite busy last week as one of my numerous sisters in law came to visit for the whole week but I finally finished part five!

WARNINGS: Consumption of alcohol, slight drunken state, talk of aggression, talk of scars, where I am from children are allowed in certain bars during the evening, of course they are not allowed to drink alcohol, violence and blood.

================================================

I put my hands on my mouth and my eyes welled up. I couldn’t believe it. It followed me here. I needed a break from demons in general and there they were in MY realm. What a nightmare! Simeon came closer and put his hands on my wrists. “We are here to protect you and your family so no harm comes to you.” A sob came out and I turned to look at my family, all unaware of the threat on their life, all happy. I tried to control my tears. I didn't want to worry my family.

“You couldn’t have come tomorrow? Why today ? I literally arrived this morning. I didn’t even get to enjoy a proper day without anything reminding me of the Devildom.” My tears were falling freely now. Luke cried as well and wrapped his small arms around my waist. “I am so sorry ! We just want you safe!” I patted his head “I know Luke and I am glad you’re here but I needed a break. For that I need my family to replenish my energy.” He tightened his embrace and hid his face in my torso. Solomon and Simeon were looking at me with sad eyes and a tight smile, not knowing how to comfort me. I tried to change my mind so I pulled away from the little angel slightly “Luke? Have you ever been to the human realm before?” He shook his head “I did but just passed by.” I held his hand “Okay, well we are going to swim then!” We headed towards the spot I was on before they arrived and I introduced them briefly to my family. I looked at my sister who had a mischievous look on her face but I preferred to ignore her. I let the two men settle and I took the little angel with me to the water. I showed him how to deal with the waves coming at us, to jump in them and to avoid where the waves are breaking so he doesn’t drown by the force of them and the violent current. 

Only Simeon joined us as Solomon didn’t like the sea. We played in the water the three of us and for a moment I forgot why they were here. Luke started to get tired so Simeon brought him back to the towels to get dry. My sister went for a dip and stood next to me. Both of us turned towards the three friends. “So? Who are they?” I looked at her, unsure of what to say. “I guess they are my bodyguards?” She laughed “Even the kid?” I laughed too, realising my answer was stupid but I stuck to it. “Yes, even the kid” She nodded “They are extremely good looking. Anything happened with one of them?” I burst out laughing “As if Sol or Simeon would be interested in me!” She glared at me seriously. “Well why not?” I shook my head “They are way too attractive and smart to be interested in someone like me! You don’t realise where we work, how the other people are way more beautiful and intelligent and stronger than I am. They’ve got so many choices, I don’t even think I’ll be in the top 100.” She was still staring at me then looked towards them and showed them with her finger. They were looking at me then waved when they saw I was watching them. “I don’t know… I think they do like you…a lot actually” Again, I shook my head “Nah, it’s just pity and guilt and maybe friendship but believe me no one is interested in me.” I left her standing alone. What she was saying was nonsense. I had only one good looking man interested in me and I was lucky we got together. We were a couple for ten years when an illness took him and he died leaving me alone and heartbroken. It took me two years to mourn and being in the Devildom made me realise how lonely I have been and it was the worst just before the attack. 

I joined the three boys “So I have calmed down a bit and I can talk about it without crying… I think. Why were you three sent here?” They all looked at each other then Solomon started to talk “Lord Diavolo had all of us meeting at his castle. He explained the situation. Lucifer, Mammon and Satan volunteered to go after the demons hunting you, the others decided to stay and look after Amelia in case they are more demons who want to get rid of all humans in the Devildom then Diavolo asked if we could find you and protect you and your family. Luke couldn’t stay alone in the Purgatory Hall for an uncertain time so we brought him with us.” I nodded but didn’t say anything. I was thinking about everything he just told me. Before I started talking I could hear my mom calling me. So I left them and went to see her. She just wanted to take pictures of all of us. After the seance, I talked to my sister and two of my cousins. We decided to go out tonight. I was excited! It’s been a while since I went out like that so we left the beach to get ready for our evening. I told the boys my plan for later and they decided they would come too. Even Luke would be allowed in the bar we are going to first. I got back home and started to get ready. While in the shower I realised something: If Satan was after the demons, who was looking after my cat? I knew it was stupid to worry about that when literal demons were chasing me but I didn’t want anything to happen to my cat while I wasn’t there. I finished my shower and got dressed. I grabbed my D.D.D. and sent a text to Satan.

Me: Hey Satan! I know you have other problems but with you gone, who is looking after my cat? Please, don’t be mad at me for worrying about it. I just can’t bear the thought of losing him. And by the way, Thank you. 

I sent it and put some makeup on. I had dinner with my parents and my sister picked me up. We arrived at the bar, we were the first there so we ordered our drinks and we sat at a large table. We talked while the others arrived shortly after. We stayed there for a couple of hours then the bar closed but we decided to go to a club nearby. Simeon took Luke back to the hotel they were staying at as he was too young to come with us. He was quite upset with us but left anyway. My cousins left us as well, they had to work in the morning. We arrived at the club and ordered more drinks. I started to feel tipsy but in such a good mood I didn’t care. We sat in a corner to drink but then a song was playing and I loved it so I stood up and went on the dancefloor. Solomon joined me, at first he was a few inches away from me but as more people went on the dancefloor, he got closer to me. I have always found Solomon attractive but a bit shady and with the alcohol (not) helping I wrapped my arms around his neck then I started to dance sensually as I could (which wasn’t). I could hear him chuckle but he put his hands on my waist and guided me closer. He leaned his forehead against mine and locked his eyes with my own. We danced for a few songs when my sister came over telling me she wanted to leave and as she picked me up she had to give me a lift back. I nodded and looked at the man who still had his arms wrapped around me. “You can stay with us. We share a room with Simeon and Luke, you can sleep in my bed and I’ll sleep on the sofa.” I smiled and turned to my sister. “Yeah, I’ll stay with Sol.” She looked at the two of us with a smirk and I rolled my eyes. 

I went to get another drink for Sol and me. We sat on a couch, I put my legs on his and he would caress my thighs while we talked and flirted. We stayed there as long as it took us to drink our beverages. When we finished our drinks, we left the club and headed towards the hotel. We took the scenery route and walked on the beach. The fresh air sobered me up a bit and I started to feel embarrassed about my behaviour with the sorcerer but he didn’t seem to care as he put his arm around my shoulders and hugged me on his side. I leaned my head on his chest and we walked silently on the sand. We arrived at the hotel and went straight up to the room but before we entered it, Solomon stopped and didn’t move. I looked at him, confused. He faced me and he kissed me. It took me by surprise and I froze for a second but then I cupped his cheeks and I leaned into the kiss. I pulled away first and smiled at him. “We better get inside”. He giggled and nodded then opened the door. He approached me and whispered “Do you need a T-shirt to sleep in?” I nodded, he went to grab one of his T-shirt and he gave it to me. I smiled as a thank you and asked where the bathroom was. He opened the door for me and let me enter. “Do you need help getting undressed?” I faced him and he was watching me intensely with a smirk on his face. I came closer to him and pushed him back off the bathroom. “No, thanks I can handle it from here.” 

I left the bathroom and saw that the sorcerer wasn’t on the couch. I frowned and went to what I assumed was the bedroom. The room was lit by a small night light next to Solomon and I saw two queen size beds. On the left one I could see Simeon and Luke sleeping in it and on the right one, Solomon propped up some pillows looking at me. I was still frowning and went to bed. I leaned closer to him and whispered as quietly as possible. “What are you doing? I thought you were going to sleep on the sofa?” He smiled, proud of himself “I know, I lied.” I sighed as I said he was shady but I let it go, I was starting to feel sleepy. I went under the duvet and turned my back to him. He did the same and then he got closer to me. He wrapped his arms around my body and tightened his grip. “Good night” He kissed me on the top of my head and squeezed me. I chuckled “Good night Sol.” I moved my hand and squeezed his arm. We fell asleep seconds after that. 

I was woken up by Luke's high pitched voice as he noticed me in the bed still enveloped by Solomon’s body. Apparently, we haven’t moved a hair since we fell asleep a few hours ago. I tried to move but the sorcerer, who was still asleep, even with all the noises from the angel, didn’t want me to leave his embrace. I tried to turn around so I could face him and his grip loosened a bit. I put my hands on his ribs and tickled him to see if he would wake up. He groaned and his grip tightened so much that I couldn’t move nor I could breath. I tried to wriggle out of his embrace while calling his name. Finally, he opened his eyes and he looked down at me with a smirk on his face. “I got you now and I am not letting you go.” I laughed and shook my head. “Please, Sol. Luke is freaking out at the situation and I need to drink some water." He sighed and finally let me go. I stood up and the two angels were watching our interaction, Luke looked freak out and Simeon had an unreadable expression as he looked at me. I smiled at them embarrassed and ran to the bathroom. I had left my clothes neatly folded on a stool inside the bathroom. While I changed, I could hear them whispering behind the door. I tried to eavesdrop but couldn’t hear a thing so I opened the door. The three of them stared at me and my phone suddenly rang. I excused myself and grabbed it to answer it. It was my mom. She was worried as I wasn’t home and told her where I was. She proposed to pick me up and to go and visit my aunt. I turned to the angels and the sorcerer to tell them that my mom was picking me up. They nodded their agreement and Luke stepped forward “Let’s go have breakfast! You must be hungry.” I smiled at the happy child and we all left for the breakfast room. I could feel Simeon’s gaze on me the whole time we ate and felt uncomfortable as if he was judging me for something. Did he know that Solomon and I kissed ? But why would he be upset about that? I let go of my thoughts, as if an angel would be upset about something so trivial. 

Before I left, Simeon said he had received some updates from Lucifer. The traitors are a couple of days away from the human world but they were good at hiding their tracks. They were still ahead of the three Avatars but they should catch up to them before they catch me. I nodded, still scared but placing my trust in them as I didn’t have a choice anyway. 

After the visit to my aunt’s house, we came back home. I had left my D.D.D in my room and I unlocked it. There was a notification, a text message with one word from Satan.

Satan: Beel

I sighed, relieved. I knew I could trust him with my cat. 

Me: Thanks a lot Satan. Be careful out there. I still owe you a favour.

As last night finally got to me, I went to bed early. The next two days, we spent it at the beach picnicking for lunch and dinner. The three boys joined us both days and they got on well with my family. We haven’t heard from Lucifer or any of the brothers. We didn’t try to contact them as we thought we might distract them if we did. I managed to relax in those couple of days which was nice. On the second day, my sister finally asked the question “What happened to you? How did you get those scars?” I tried to cover my scars as much as I could but some of them were still showing and I didn’t want them to prevent me from enjoying those beach days. Actually, I was slowly starting to be proud of them. I survived a horrible attack and only had some scars then it made me think I needed to practise some magic and I need to talk to Solomon about it. “Yes, someone attacked me and tortured me. I… I am not ready to talk about it.” I lowered my head so I could hide the tears that were starting to well up. I still hadn’t come over it apparently. I blinked my tears away and wiped them with my hand. She put a comforting hand on my shoulder and squeezed. I smiled tightly at her. “Let’s go out again tonight! Just the two of us!” I giggled “Yeah, sure if you want.” 

After the day at the beach, we came back home. Again, I got ready for the night out with my lovely sister. My mother gave us a lift to the pub and we would take a taxi home. We sat at the bar and were talking for a few hours when Solomon, Simeon and Luke arrived, looking worried. Luke sat next to my sis’ to distract her while the angel and the sorcerer took me to the side. “They’ve arrived in the realm. They are a few hours away.” I stared at them “But Lucifer and the other two are not far behind, right?” They looked at each other but didn’t say anything. “They will catch them before they reach me, right?” The alcohol flowing in my veins kept me, weirdly enough, from falling apart. I decided then I couldn’t be just a lamb waiting for slaughter. I would need to do something when I came back to the Devildom. When I made that decision in my slightly drunken state they still hadn’t spoken yet. Finally, Simeon spoke. “You should come with us now.” I shook my head “Nah, I’m still staying out. You said they are a few hours away from here? Then I still have time to enjoy myself and come what may.” They looked at me, shocked. I guessed they weren’t expecting me to react like that. I smiled at them and went back to Luke and my sister. The other two joined us and we chatted away. Luke started to fall asleep on my sister’s shoulder. Simeon looked at the young angel with soft eyes and a tender smile then looked at Solomon. “Can you, this time, look after Luke? I will stay with those two lovely people.” I smiled at the compliment. Solomon’s gaze darkened but he nodded and he grabbed Luke gently then they left. I looked at the time and realised that quite a few hours had gone by quickly. I told my sister to go, that I will stay with the angel but she needed to go home. She looked at me strangely but agreed. We called a taxi, waited for it then she left. With Simeon, we went to another bar. 

We talked for a couple of hours then we decided it was time to leave. I stood up a bit wobbly on my legs. The angel held his arm out so I could stand and walk thanks to him. We walked for a few hundred metres when he stopped. I turned my head and was about to talk but he put his finger on his mouth to shush me. I gasped but stopped. We walked slowly around the corner and there we saw them. The group of demons were a hundred metres away from us. I recognised them. They were invited to the birthday party Diavolo threw for me. I talked to them and thanked them for their presents. I started to shake, not from fear but from anger. The three brothers were also there approaching them slowly. They were all in their demon’s forms. I was about to walk towards them when Simeon grabbed me and put his hand on my mouth. “Be quiet. Let Lucifer, Satan and Mammon handle it. If they notice you, they’ll try to protect you and that could endanger them.” I nodded slowly but didn’t move otherwise as I was watching them. I knew demons were physically strong but it was even more than I could imagine. Too many things were happening at once. Lucifer tearing limbs of a demon apart , blood flying everywhere as if he was plucking a flower, while keeping him alive. Mammon broke the legs of another as if they were only twigs so he couldn’t run away. Satan used some spells to paralyse two of them. It was a carnage and still I couldn’t prevent myself from watching. I would have nightmares from the weeks to come. When all of them were out of harm, a portal opened and Barbatos arrived and helped the three Lords carry the demons inside the portal then they all left.

I have not watched naruto but i have gay friends who tell me everyday that sakura should be a lesbian! Genuinely like the cast has a permanent fixture of i wanna say....20 to 30ish people? And the ones we see regularly are All coupled up, all but i wanna say 3 have loved each other since they were kids. 2 of them are the 'this kid in childhood was nice to me when i was 4 and i never loved anyone else since' kind of childhood friends and frankly that just seemed to weird to me. Genuinely every 100 chapters are so some side seemingly gets a long lost love and a relationship and im just like....babe can we get back to the murders?? I do not care that random officer number 34 has a gf.

(Contd cause i forgot to mention ml) and yet. Somehow. ML irritates me more? Maybe its the white people maybe its because im asian and any asian person who says they didnt watch SOME conan as a kid is a liar, plus conan is obviously longer and thus has semi-better development in comparison. Maybe its because we learn from the first two the three chapters that both conan protags genuinely love each other instead of....whatever the hell adrien has going on. Anyway sorry for the rant *hands you a cookie*

————————————————————————-

I can’t speak in regards to Conan cuz I only read I think the first 7-9 volumes years ago so it’s not like I remember anything and when I tried to pick it up again all it took was a single panty shot to make me put it back down but anyway

I think with ML the fantasy of the “perfect white male love interest and grand dramatic hetero romance” is doing a lot of the heavy lifting and if you’re not someone who buys into that fantasy, the square and, by extension, the narrative falls apart. The main romantic plot of series relies so heavily on drama and fantasies that it lacks in all other aspects (such as maintaining basic chemistry and building up character relationships) and makes every attempt to push the pairing feel extremely forced and very much comphet. Cuz why else would these two be paired together if not for the fact that they’re the female and male lead?

JJK chapter 246 thoughts below

Because the official chapter’s translations last week were disappointing in a couple of ways, I read the fan translation. Keeping all my thoughts here until the official one drops!

I loved this chapter a lot! :’)

MEGUMI.

I have been SO confident that yuuji is trying to save megumi since he was taken over that I am unbelievably satisfied, especially after seeing way too many posts that megumi is 100% dead or has no chance. I’ve been slightly bitter at seeing so many theories about Gojo coming back that don’t make sense when it would be a crime if he came back but not Megumi (or Nobara). The only question is whether or not Yuuji will actually be able to save Megumi or if either will die in the process—for my own sake, I’m believing in the power of friendship. Also, I wish there were date/time stamps for the flashbacks, since it’s hard to remember when in the time skip it is.

And LOVE that Yuuji was the one that came up with that plan. Nothing will ever be easy and there’s no way this plan can go right without more death, but that little sliver of hope is fantastic. I can always rely on Yuuji being the “humanity” of the team. Thinking back to when Hana and him off-handedly wondered if Gojo forgot about Megumi during the fight. It’s nice having two people who are invested in saving Megumi when the situation is dire.

Did Choso getting punched x2 straight through the chest and stomach worry me? Yes, but he’s not dead and Yuuji didn’t look devastated, so I’m taking this as a positive that he’s out of the fight for now. If he wasn’t a half curse and it wasn’t so casual, I’d be concerned. Sukuna does NOT like either of the siblings since he’s met both. Very sweet that Yuuji caught him the second Sukuna threw him aside.

The color page (which looks incredible) is fueling my belief that Maki is with Yuuta as help with Kenjaku. That, or the current team is the first round of fighters and they’ll need her soul sword for something last-minute sukuna related, but I just wouldn’t be surprised if the jujutsu high second years stuck together.

Higuuuuuuuurumaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <3

I love him. “Sukuna found himself completely enthralled—“ same

No really, I’ve adored his character since chapter 159 released and I’m so happy that one of my favorite characters is getting all this. I already have other posts lined up for when the official chapter drops, but I love him.

His conversation with Yuuji was dark, but I love these quiet moments of insight. Such a good chapter for all these tiny character moments with interesting implications.

Despite my disappointment at the trial ending so soon, I like this fight and I think Sukuna does too (for Higuruma). The end pages about Higuruma’s quick learning and adaption to sorcery is exactly what I wanted to see!

(Continuing) Higuruma is essentially a tired lawyer new to sorcery and is not nearly as overpoweringly strong as Gojo, yet the manga states he rivals Gojo in raw talent and adaptability. Realistically, he doesn’t and can’t have that overpowered strength to the degree of Gojo, but I love how that doesn’t diminish the skills he does have and shows how valuable these characters can be (and it’s not JUST talent, but how their mindset around life and sorcery too). They don’t have to be overpowered to have a profound impact and be smart in their fighting.

(Continuing) I remember seeing comments after Gojo died that there was no use because there can’t be a way for the protagonists to defeat Sukuna without a deus ex machina, plot armor, etc. But I hoped the story would lean into the characters’ strengths and have them work together to find a smart way with combined effort to take down Sukuna, rather than Gojo be the magical solution to killing Sukuna and Kenjaku. So this chapter worked in a lot of ways for me.

(Continuing) It’s the same reason why Yuuji turning his role put on him (by others and himself) as a cage/tool into something significant in this fight is very compelling. At a surface level, these characters are much weaker than Sukuna, but I think they genuinely have a chance. Plus, it’s more entertaining to have a team fight in jjk and, despite still heavily incorporating the power system, I find this fight to already be more emotional and investing than the Gojo Sukuna one. Not to be overly negative on that last fight (there’s good moments in it and the fighting itself is fun), but this is what I wanted from JJK!

More people will die at some point. Better not be Choso (Yuki died for him so that had better not go to waste immediately), but could honestly be anyone. I do think there’s going to be a moment where things do end up going right for the protagonist team, but that could be a long time from now. Kusakabe being surprised at himself for his willingness to die to protect Higuruma was??? Adorable??? A duo I never considered, but I need them to survive (unlikely) and interact more now that I’m thinking of how well they’d get along.

Another long review of a jjk chapter, but had a great time with this one! At this point, I mention it weekly, but Sukuna in his original form is beautiful every time I see him and im very happy to have him in that form for this fight.

[capow02]

hi hi hello hi I think you're my only sio mutual that's active anymore (': I looked up the welcome 2 elsewhere site because I just randomly remembered it earlier and honestly am I the only one who misses that era? like the bright and colorful aesthetic with the super trippy and horror visuals? the arg they put together? the dyed hair? like maaaan don't get me wrong I'm happy about the new era but elsewhere was taken from us too soon </3 maybe I need to make more art of it lol

Hi!! I'm so glad you sent this ask because I love the elsewhere era so much, I could genuinely talk about it for hours. So here, have this extremely long essay about my experience.

I discovered set it off in early 2021, so the elsewhere era was the first full album cycle I experienced. And my god it was perfect! I was on holiday when the website went up along with the teaser for skeleton, and I remember so clearly trying to figure out all the puzzles before retreating alone back to our hotel room to figure out minesweeper. The feeling of excitement as the discord was going crazy trying to figure everything out was unmatched!

And then skeleton came out, and I was genuinely obsessed. I had just moved into an awful shared house for my second year at uni, so I drowned all my sorrows by putting the song on repeat, drawing the band almost constantly and of course, making the lyric video that would start my channel! The hype was so massive, the dyed hair was iconic, I genuinely lived and breathed the multicoloured aesthetic. I bought every single merch thing I could (my room decor and t shirts still reflect this.) I got a switch that year, and immediately named my island elsewhere.

Every time the website changed, the excitement was so palpable that I dropped everything I was doing when it happened. Of course I had projector and who's in control on loop when they came out, and while I didn't like them as much as skeleton, they built so much hype for the album it was unreal. I even attended an online concert a couple months before the album came out, and it took place so late at night that I went to sleep at 5am while having to get up at 8. I was that committed.

And remember the teasers they posted to instagram and twitter? The ones they posted at 5pm every wednesday and sunday, where unscrambling the code revealed the next song title, the ones I based my elsewhere lyric videos off? I actually set an alarm on my phone so I could catch these as soon as they appeared, I was that desperate to know the next title! And of course the discord went crazy each time, the energy was unmatched. And when the album actually came out, oh my god. It was on loop for over 6 months. I thought taste of the good life was a gift from god, the amount of times I listened to it.

The hype continued throughout 2022, as demos kept coming out through the fanclub (which I paid full money for, getting one of my favourite ever hoodies in the process) and each demo seemed to be better than the next. I still have no idea how the truth about lying was cut from elsewhere and playing with bad luck stayed.

Also, I was so excited for my first ever sio concert that november. And the day 100% lived up to the expectations! I gave the boys some stickers in vip which they loved, and even got a hug from zach after explaining an obscure talk it off reference on one of his stickers. I made some great friends in line, even though I got seated tickets so I had to be separated from them, but I did still get great seats. And the concert itself!! I'm so glad I can say I've seen third wheel live, even if it was in the medley. And I still remember the pure joy I felt when I waved at cody and he waved back at me during uncontainable.

By the start of 2023 and all the "scandals" and stuff started happening, along with their slow retreat off of all social media, I could tell the era was gradually ending and I was really sad. It fully sunk in when they stopped dying their hair, and I was devastated, I almost forgot what they looked like with natural hair. Although I will say I probably got more closure on the era than you guys in america, because I actually made it to one of the end of elsewhere shows here in the uk.

I have to say, that was probably the best night of my life. I paid full price for the vip this time, so I got to actually hang around and talk to them before the show. I also got standing tickets, and managed to get barrier, which was so close to the stage I could've reached out and touched cody countless times. It was wild, and I enjoyed every second. Of course, 4 days later punching bag released, marking the proper end of elsewhere. (And they haven't toured the uk since.)

I miss this era so goddamn much. I have so much nostalgia for it, even though its barely been a year since it ended, and I really wish the current era's branding was as strong. I always felt so close to the band during elsewhere, with all the talk it off episodes and them noticing me on social media. The sense of community was strong, and I miss it a lot now they've stopped posting anything. Idk, I might be biased because it was my first time experiencing a full era.

Anyway, if you actually read all that, thanks! I really needed a good reminisce. And yes, you should make more art of elsewhere! The visuals were unmatched, especially in the music videos 💜💜

Meynnart Wewyck’s workshop-part 6: Hidden in Recueil d'Arras

Sorry guys, I realised this months ago, and forgot to post it.  In part 1, I mentioned the lost Scottish portraits by Wewyck, done c.1502-1503. They seem to have been lost, and we only have Receuil d’Arras(collection of drawings based upon actual portraits, done in c.1570) which shows us aproximately how they looked like.

 We have drawing of James IV, Margaret Tudor, Henry VII and then very rubbed of Elizabeth of York. 

But records from 1502 show one extra painting. Of future Henry VIII. It’d be probably THE oldest portrait of him! As child! But it is nowhere to be found. Or have we been looking at it this whole time?

And if you read further I’ll explain you why this drawing from Receuil D’Arras cannot be the Warbeck. 100%.

This is typical handwriting of Le Boucq, found all over the Receuil d’Arras:

And this is text labelling the drawing of Warbeck as him:

Absolutely no way this is the same hand, and I’d wager not even same century. It’s too readable for modern viewer.

Le Boucq didn’t know who it was. He never made any label for drawing. And let me remind you Le Boucq made the drawing  about 70 years after Warbeck died. Cca 1570.

How could anybody even later than that recognize it as Warbeck? Based upon what?! It’s impossible!

It was an unknown male whose portrait was part of Scottish royal collection(that is clear because of drawings surounding it. First 21 drawings in Receuil d’Arras were from(in) Scotland, even though not all sitters of those paintings were. Lots of french and english royalty etc. Royalty often sent each other portraits. Long story short, lots of evidence to suggest it truly was Scottish section.)

And based upon it, somebody GUESSED that it is Warbeck!

It’s supposedly the only depiction of him we have surviving!

And it is not him! 100%. 

The jewelry, the posture, it fits with Wewyck’s work and Tudor males so well!

Yes, the features are nicer-because kids tend to have softer features and Le Boucq’s drawings also add the softness(such was his style). It fits perfectly with Wewyck’s work. Just look through previous posts. 

Also, how would Warbeck’s portrait survive in Scottish royal collection throughout many years Margaret Tudor was the Queen? She’d be certainly outraged at such display. It’s not make sense for her husband to keep the painting of now dead man of whom he had no use.

Like for Tudors it made sense to portray Richard III with broken sword-because that shows him as warrior who was defeated, thus more glory to Tudors for defeating him.(read my post Mistaken identity, if you don’t get why I assume rest of Richard’s portraits are not him.)  But same doesn’t apply to Scottish royalty and Warbeck.

In Receuil d’Arras ‘Warbeck’s’ drawing is not even that far from rest of Wewyck’s work.

It’s Henry VII, then Elizabeth of York, then two drawings of Elizabeth I (from late 1550s it seems), then James IV, Margaret Tudor, then Bernard Stewart, 4th Lord of Aubigny; then drawing of Egyptian woman who once healed Scottish King, James II of Scotland and then supposed drawing of Warbeck.

Henry VIII was just 3 drawings away from his sister, the entire time! 

Meaning that probably in c.1570, all those paintings were in same chamber or set of chambers when Le Boucq drawn them. They were not separated, even though by that point nobody could remember who the boy in the painting was.

(Probably because those 4 paintings by Wewyck were in same style. So people knew they belonged together. Just no longer who was in one of them.)

That it is boy might also explain why he is much bigger in current drawing than rest of his family. (or at least Le Boucq makes it seems so.)Some painters struggled with proportions of children, adn then sometimes made them ridiculously smaller or much bigger.Even though Margaret would be in her early teens when she got painted, she’d be still couple of years older than her younger brother, thus her features closer to adults. 

(That was main information. If you’re interested into me rambling bit more about the other Scottish paintings by Wewyck you can read further. But to be honest i covered lots of it in part 1. If not I hope you’ve enjoyed this.)

Speaking of Margaret I’d like to clerify something. Records suggest she was painted by Wewyck twice. Once as English Princess, and 2nd time already as Quen of Scotland. Idk which one is in Receuil d’Arras.

1)Drawing of Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland, based upon portrait from c.1502-3:

But I belive we have idea how 2nd portrait looked. Family trees of James I show Margaret in en face with gable hood:

It’s also in several engravings. Each of them is of not great quality.

The lenght of frontlets and pitch of gable hood suggest it is early 1500s(max.1505), thus likely based upon Wewyck’s work.

I also wanted to point another thing about these scottish-based portraits. They are unique. While there are other depictions where they hold golden orb/apple? and similiar outfit, together all those details don’t fit any other different versions of their portraits surviving, probably because the copies made during Henry VIII’s reign were made based upon portraits located in England. 

Thus Scotish located paintings never had copies of them made. So when alongside many other Scottish portraits they got destroyed, Receuil D’Arras became sole source where we can see them. (As far as we know.)

2)Drawing of Henry VII holding an apple/orb:

(Yep it is once again the same brooch-or perhaps there were 2 of same design but different sizes. But same style brooch.)

While even on Henry VII’s drawing some details of the sleeves rubbed off, note the shape of the oufit around his neck. It is round, and the curve goes downward.

And Henry VIII’s paintings go also downward.

But majority of Henry VII’s paintings, have it other way around. They are pointed upward.  And it got me thinking-i don’t much about Tudor male fashion in general. So i don’t know their chronological order. However, around 1480 the neckline of english ladies was curve pointing downward(York sisters stained glass), but then through 1490s we saw W-shaped neckline pointing upward, which then slowly returned to almost straight line with slight raise by c.1500 and eventually to completely straight, only to be curved upward much later towards end of Henry VIII’s reign.

I don’t believe they’d send to Scotland painting predating Henry VII’s reign. It’s 1502 painting. No doubt about it.But neckline of men evolved in same way as ladies’ fashion, then big portrion of Henry VII’s paintings would not be from 1500s, but from 1490s, and I don’t mean just late 1490s. Thus potentially Wewyck worked for English royals for much longer than we assumed. 

But I don’t have yet enough to establish firmly chronology of dress and headwear prior to 1500. Sadly my only solid source from that time are tomb brasses and dating of those is very difficult and requires lots of time.

3)Sadly Elizabeth’s sketch is no more there. Sketches are all in pencil and hers sadly got worn out. Only imprint of the original drawing left on the opposite page still survives, but it is really light imprint.@english-history-trip enhanced it a bit(far better than attempt I made and then discarded), but in order to know what that painting looked like, we have to flip it back:

It’s not perfect match with neither of the 5 paintings of her I showed you prior, Currently closest it comes to this:

But why if it is based upon original by Wewyck-from life, why is her neck short?

(In other cases it was in posthumous paintinsg or altered.)

This time there are other possible explanations alterations to the original, le Boucq not gettig proportions right(possibly further shifted by this being based upon imprint) etc. But imo none of those is correct. Imo it’s not alteration. It’s actually there, but isn’t what we think it is(neck crease). Imo it’s edge of necklace.

I had looked at original drawing in Receuil d’Arras, and in Photopea I played with setting to see, if i could find filter or something which would give us better idea of what the drawing looked like. I used both inprint and what is left from original drawing. That is how i discovered that just as Henry she held an orb.

It just stayed on the original page and not on the imprint. 

But to get to that necklace, I need to use much stronge filter. Idk what it is called with english, but it turns the drawing into these dots and as you shift the setting, it goes from very dark lines to very light ones-revealing some which you’d never see with naked eye. But it also has downsides. it will hide some lines you’ve seen before and eventually the filter will start to reveal weird lines which are texture of the paper, not related to drawing itself.  

Main issue is that some parts are already distorted(because they were visible/more dark before), while some are not, and it is hard to catch the right setting for the era you’re interested in.

However you need to rely on your knowledge of tudor outfit, to connect the dots-literally and to know which dots to not remove.

In this setting hands are not visible, but it is focused exactly on the area of clevage. Thus, while rest needs bit of clearing, that area should be fairly accurate. Now I could be wrong, but that looks like necklace to me.

And you can see it on imprint, in HD, if you focus on it. If you search for it. It’s very very light. But it seems to be there.

Tiny bit of pattern, just under the ‘neck crease) which forms shape of triangles I’d say. It’s not likely to be any of the pearl necklace of triangles we seen in late reign of Henry VIII and later. But some late 15th/early 16th century necklaces had similiar form. One is in Receuil d’Arass itself-on Eleanor of Austria as child:

Royalty in those days often had same jewel makers. Just few provided the jewelry of quality royals wanted(that is why often you see same or similiar jewelry across Europe, on members of several different dynasties and it isn’t just them sending each other gifts.) Also fashion and jewelery back then was not solely unique to the country, they influened each other, and some trends took on in several countries or had pararels in them. (Like french hood’s frill and english gable hood’s paste in early 16th century- they moved up and down around same time.)

Thus Elizabeth’s necklace might have looked similiar to Eleanor’s. Idk exact shape, but it seems to me like top same, then much larger triangles. ANd sometimes it seems like two rows of triangles. Idk.

Unfortunately all my attempts looked horrible.  You can try it yourself. I give up.

With hadns also. Can’t make the shape out conclusively. And i can’t make the shape out. But it sort of reminds me of necklace of triangles(which obviously was made much later) or some paintings at turn of 15th and 16th century. Nevertheless this is very underated depiction of her.

(I did look into drawing Henry VII also with these filters-because his is also partially rubbed off. He wears his usual clothes he has in many other portraits. There is nothing new for you to learn there.)

I hope you’ve enjoyed this.

@skye707 tagged me! Hopefully that means I'll catch a stray Riddler..

CMON Arkhamverse, fingers crossed! Jkjk.

Ten of my favorite movies in no particular order!

This was hard af actually because as soon as I read it I forgot every movie ive ever seen. Suddenly, all cinema ceased to exist. Thanks brain.

That being said I did my best as-per my recollection and am probably missing things I quite love. Woopsie.

Rules: post 10 of your favorite movies and tag 10 people.

#1: Fantasia (1941)

This one has been my favorite since I was 2 years old. Beautiful art, Disney, and Classical music. It's just a win.

#2: The Phantom of the Opera (2005)

This is all of nothing like the book and my 15 year old emo ass really wanted Christine to go with the phantom despite all the red flags.

Now that I'm an adult I think they'd have been a lovely poly couple, and Erik needs counselling. That being said it's still one of my top favorite movies ever.. Who knew Emmy Rossom and Gerard Butler could SING?

I still love to play it and sing every word, the absolute chagrin of my daughter.

#3: Queen of the Damned (2002):

Anne Rice, Vampires, a soundtrack that quite possibly shaped my entire music taste for life--

This movie is honestly terrible, but in a SO bad its GOOD way. Cult classic 100%.

For an emo 12 year old in the early 2000's this was the best shit EVER, right there beside MCR.

#4: Pride and Prejudice (2005):

SOMETHING ABOUT ME: I love books. I love THIS book. and I love this movie based on this book. -- Mr. Darcy, you are a charmer.

#5: Yellow Submarine (1968):

Another one that's been a top favorite since I was only 2 years old.

I grew up on Beatles, and before I was emo (Around 9 years old) I had a hippy phase where I only wore tie-die and listened to 60s music, with Beatles being my top. This throws me back to them days every time.

#6: Minority Report (2002)

Let's get this out of the way first: Tom Cruise is batshit crazy as a person. I completely acknowledge this. That being said I think this movie is very well done and has a very valid moral that can forever apply to society and social justice as a whole.

It also had a very short run TV Mini series in 2015 (Without Cruise) that was a continuation/sequel of the movie, which I ABSOLUTELY loved just as much. There is only 10 episodes and I was SO sad it was cancelled

#7: Encanto (2021)

By far the newest one on this list.

Good music.

I'm in love with a 50yr old RAT man.

What else can I say?

#8: Much Ado About Nothing (1993)

Another book turned movie,

ANYTHING Shakespeare is always iconic, but I think this version is absolutely my favorite. Perfect casting, perfect acting, and Dr. Willson from House is one of the main characters! (You may also recognize Professor Trelawney and Professor Lockhart from Harry Potter as your two main characters. <3 When HP first came out I can tell you I was SO excited for something different than what everyone else was because It was awesome to see them together in the same movie again, for me, since I loved this farrrrr first.

#9: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

a 90s classic, and ALSO a modern adaptation of another Shakespeare story: The Taming of the Shrew.

It's was very well done, modernizing (For the time) while still sticking to the story. Great cast, great acting, and an icon of the 1990s despite being a story of the 1590s.

I think this movie hit home in a way that other modern Shakespeare adaptations (Such as Romeo + Juliet (1996) and She's the Man 2006)) Missed the mark on. (Although, did you remember Channing Tatum was in that? I didn't! Haha.)

#10: Digimon: The Movie (2000)

Why? I can't tell you why. When this came out was at the height of me being super into Digimon. The art is different from the show in a way that I just vibe with. The entire movie just has a VIBE to it and it brings back good memories. ALL THE GOOD VIBES.

Honorable Mentions:

Counting these as ONE:

Batman (1989) Batman Returns(1992) Batman Forever (1995) Batman & Robin (1997)

SO despite having 3 different Batmans and only two being directed by Tim Burton, these movies ARE supposed to go together.

They are hokey, and for the most part I consider them a comedic AU, HOWEVER, that will never override a few things:

Firstly, these movies are what got me into Batman and Batverse originally, before the animated series came out.

Secondly, the animated series came out BECAUSE of these movies, and was at least loosely based on them (Which is why Selina was blonde in TAS, to tie in, though they later rectified that in TNBA)

And three, the ENTIRE aesthetic of the movie AND the musical scores being by Danny Elfman are their own works of absolute art that I will ALWAYS appreciate.

EPIC Things I Did On Hiatus

(Mild TW: Mental Health Stuff, Car Robbery?)

Expect some photos by Wednesday!

2/2/2025

I went to the mountains to see the snow with my boyfriend. Since there was a snowstorm a few days prior, I was 100% confident there would be snow this time, and sure enough, there was! We made snow goats on the side of the road (one of them were supposed to resemble Ralsei, but it didn't quite work out that much and it just looked like any other goat monster), free pre-made snowballs for people to find and I buried my boyfriend in the snow. We also dunked our faces in it, which was a bit painful but when you lied down on your back was SOOOOOOOOO COMFY!!!

After a couple of hours, we drove back down for lunch, it turns out we weren't the only ones who though of making snowcreatures off the side of the road!

My dad also embarrassed me at a restaurant (won't tell the full story here), and while driving to a another restaurant I got so anxious I BIT my phone hard, causing it to crack. I had no idea that would happen and I immediately started spitting out the small pieces of glass in my mouth. Thankfully, nothing serious happened though except for some small, light cuts in my mouth.

We then went to the park, despite me and my boyfriend being too old to play on the apparatus were still smol enough to at least pass as 12-year-olds (we're well into our teenage years though). Some boys around the age of eight and twelve (possibly brothers) were glued to their phone, blocking the slide. Perhaps I should've been a bit more polite but I told them that some other people are gonna use the slide soon. The eight-year-old gave me a dirty look but me any my boyfriend brushed it off until the two of them started FOLLOWING US. My boyfriend especially started to freak out. The eight-year-old started to say things like "wat'chu looking at" and "you wanna fight" while attempting to crack his knuckles and give the "eyes on you" gesture (he couldn't do it). My Boyfriend then SEVERLY panicked thinking they were part of the mafia or something (and he wasn't joking) and we ran out of the park together, picking up stones in case we needed them, but it seems the couldn't leave the park. My dad eventually saw us on the side of the road and picked us up.

We then went for one last stop at a small library. My boyfriend grabbed a HUGE book while I got a story telling game I could play when I'm bored and alone.

We then went to drop off my boyfriend. His moms weren't home yet so we hung out and watched a bit of gravity falls.

We then parted ways and my dad found a place to fix my phone. It was at the mall so we dropped it off at a phone repair shop then wandered around for and hour and bought some cheaply made flower hairclips from Claire's that fall of immediately. WHAT A DAY...

2/3/2025

I was pretty tired that day. Not a lot of kids showed up to school to protest. I usually wear earplugs for sensory issues but in Algebra class, I heard something about current world events and started freaking out and biting/ tearing out bits of paper from a notebook I was writing in. I was then pulled outside and talked to a nice man to taught me some breathing exercises I already know yet forgot about. He was very nice.

It's getting a little depressing to be in Algebra class. As soon as I walk in

Witnessed a crime while in track practice. A man fake lunged out at me and the team when we were running around the school campus. I SCREAMED. He then started laughing and I flicked him off. The team captains then told the coach and eventually police were called. It turns out this guy was possibly robbing/hijacking a car.

2/4/2025

Two teens who were slightly older than me were jaywalking and I decided to join them because I needed to get to therapy. I snuck up on them and greeted them in the mote high pitched voice ever, and the greeted me back. They mistook me for one of my classmates/track teammates who we'll call SU. Except being around the same height and skin complexion, SU looked noting like me. I have an average build body with very toned legs, SU was skinny and had less muscle than me, she also had thin, curly hair while I had thick wavy hair, heck, our faces and voices looked WAY different, so I told her she was mistaking me more someone else and told her my actual name. Needless to say however, I was kinda flattered...

2/5/2025

It was raining today. I had lunch in the library with my friends when I went to go check out an Ellen Hopkins book because I have a weird obsession with mature 600 page long poetry novels. As I did, I noticed a Scrabble board game and realized how no one plays any board games in the library anymore. We have a field trip on Thursday and Gaming Club on Friday, but I wonder if we can play together next week...

I went running in the rain for the first time! I didn't think we would have track practice today but my coach said were gonna have to learn how to run in all types of weather, and how it applied to all sports as the soccer team was playing a game at another school in the muddy field right now! It was pretty fun and not that different from our normal workouts, except after running our practice mile, my glasses looked like car windows, and when we were stretching, we skipped the stretches that involved us sitting down. I had the time of my life, but I didn't bring any waterproof shoes, so my feet were SOAKED after practice.

2/6/2025

It was raining hard today so the field trip was off. It was rescheduled for late March. We had a normal class day that day.

We watched the beginning of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in animation class.

2/7/2025

Today wasn't all that much eventful either. It kept raining for most of the day.

I decided to challenge myself by not eating sugar for a whole day to see how much we consume it every day. It was unfortunately sabotaged when my friend offered me a "fruit" bar and I couldn't say no because I didn't tell them about this. Should've done this on a weekend... (I didn't)

We finished watching Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in animation class.

After track practice, the rain started to clear up and everything looked so clean colorful and whimsy...Perhaps I may write a poem on it. (*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*)

There was also a girl's soccer game happening at school. They had a drumline for it. I was surprised as I thought they were only for the football team, and their season is over. I joked about it with my mom, telling her there's a girl's football match happening. Although this time you actually played with your feet!

My cousins are arriving to town in less than 10 days. Due to some past events regarding my mental health, I dread this, even though I'm not even being forced to see them. I miss them, but at the same time am scared to hurt them or think of hurting them.

I baked tofu. I wanted to make them into little hearts but didn't have the right supplies with me, so I just made my normal, salted tofu. Maybe next time...

2/8/2025

I went to beginner Karate class and learned how to do a backstance. It was pretty hard to get used to as I was used to putting more weight on my front leg, and would accidentally do a front stance.

I went running for 4.5 miles at a hiking trail. Despite it being a day since the rain stopped and the world slowly reverts back to it's polluted weakness, it was still at least a little nice to run around.

I bought a heart shaped cookie cutter to make tofu hearts tomorrow!

2/9/2025

I cleaned my room first thing in the morning so my mom wouldn't bug me about it.

I did some running uphill. It was difficult but managable.

Soooooooooooooooo yeah, we didn't have the right ingredients for the tofu hearts sooooooooooooo yeah... Didn't make them

I did make some Salmon though!

I’m also working on a doll. I hope I can finish her by next week.

So NYC is 2/2 for me spending my first night there getting my back blown out LMAO

I can’t believe I forgot to post about this on my birthday a month ago

So like, I finally hooked up with a guy I’ve been friends with for years when I was up in NYC for my birthday. One could argue I’m using the term “friend” loosely here because we’ve had an on and off again flirting situation for YEARS.

We were supposed to get dinner together when I was up there back in October, but it was a mutual friend’s birthday so we couldn’t find the time. Since it was my birthday this time, however, we were able to make the time.

First off, I busted my ass because I missed the last step going down to the Airbnb 😭 Surprisingly, I didn’t feel an ounce of embarrassment and luckily I didn’t hurt myself so I just laughed it off. He was slightly concerned though and didn’t laugh

We got dinner the day before my birthday and talked for a couple hours. Then at the end he asked if I wanted to go to a bar or go back to his place. At first I said I’d be down to go to a bar but then he pointed out how I literally just said I don’t have more than 2-3 drinks and I had 2 at dinner so he offered his place again. (If we hadn’t been friends for years, I would’ve stuck to the bar and just not drank but we’ve built up enough trust for me to feel safe) So we get an Uber back to his and this is where the stars aligned for him to be the smoothest mf in the planet.

The driver’s seat was too far back for my legs to fit comfortably so he goes “oh, why don’t you scoot over here for more room?” So I scoot over and he puts his arm around me and rests his hand on my hip. Then we circle back to talking about the Topicals Slick Salve (we were talking about it earlier in the night with another friend when he came and picked me up) He asks to try it and I was like “yeah, I have it right here” and he asks if I have any on at the moment and that’s when it clicked so I put some more on and offered to have him try it. Then we made out in the backseat of the Uber the entire rest way to his place (that poor driver) That’s when things went from 0 to 100 because it was immediate open mouth French kissing when I was expecting a cute lil make out moment for us kissing for the first time. This energy continued when we got to his building where we were holding hands going to up to his apartment, which was a very cute and wholesome moment

When we got inside his apartment, we sat on his couch and started making out again. He asked what I was comfortable with and I told him I was down for wherever we end up going. I was straddling his lap while wearing a skirt so he offered me a pair of his shorts that I declined because the offer is cute and all but I’m a big bitch. His shorts weren’t going over these hips. But I did take the skirt off and was standing there in my bodysuit and watched him admire my body after he had switched into a pair of grey sweat shorts (because of course he chose the grey ones) After trying unsuccessfully to lay down and make out on his couch, he asked if I was comfortable enough to move to his bed. I said I was so he grabbed me by the hips and guided me to his room

We get to his bed and you can assume what happened after that.

I will say he was a lot rougher than I expected. Not that I’m opposed to it, but again, I wasn’t expecting it on the first link. Especially because I would never have assumed that energy from our conversations. In hindsight, I think he was a little excited and overzealous so he had to pull out all the moves because he did say he was gonna make the most of it. I should’ve taken a moment to be like “relax. I’m not going anywhere,” but alas. There were some tender moments where I’d stroke his cheek, kiss his nose, and lay on his chest. He also wished me happy birthday when it turned midnight so he was the first person to say it. Even beating out my bestie who I was staying with when she called and asked if she was the first and he mouthed “tell her yes!” When I was putting my boots on to leave, I noticed one of my heels broke from when I had fallen down the stairs earlier. He asked to see and then attempted to put my boot on my foot and I made a joke about me being Cinderella and he rolled his eyes. He also had to use his inhaler before we left 🤭 We were joking as he was walking me to my Uber and he kissed me goodbye

Overall, it felt like it was a long time coming and such a slow burn leading up to this moment. I also noticed that this was the first time I’ve had sex and not overthought every single thing. I just went with the flow, trusted myself, and let myself actually enjoy it. Idk if it’s due to it being with a longtime friend or because I’m just having more experience with sex in general, but yeah. It was nice being in the moment instead of my head for once. Even though I didn’t enjoy it as much as with the other guy in October, I’d sleep with him again if the opportunity arises. The sex wasn’t bad at all and I actually enjoyed experiencing this new level of roughness. But the reason I didn’t enjoy it as much is because it felt like a lot for a first link. There was a lack of softness, tenderness, and consideration that I really appreciated from my experience with the other guy. This time was very fast paced as opposed to the other guy where we sat in the moment and took things slower and asked questions and had check ins

But yeah, if there’s a next time, I’ll be sure to slow the pace down for sure

My head has been filled with TorixTyb brainrot so please take this humble offering

[angelst4re]

hello love! first of all, I appreciate you ❤️

I was wondering if we could have a quick lil fluff piece where reader and Jamie have a small child together and they’re getting them ready for Halloween? Since we’re approaching that of the year now! Maybe they have a family costume situation, and they’re going to go out trick or treating. I feel like Jamie, being the witch king and spooky lad he is, would make Halloween time so fun for a kid if he had one. I just think that would be so cute 🥹

hii love! thank you <3 i've been waiting for this week to post this... and i 100% agree, he would make it so fun for them :')

Trick or Treat- Dad!Jamie x Reader

summary: it's halloween!

warnings: none! :)

note: i brought back our loves charlie and belle for this one!! <3 also now i'm finally posting this i've realised it's quite short :(

“Mummy!” Belle huffed, a frown appearing on her face, “it doesn’t look right!” 

“But this is how she has her hair, sweetheart.” You tell her, looking at her in the mirror before placing a kiss on her cheek, “you look amazing!” 

“But my hair isn’t right! Daddy knows how to do it!” 

“Do you want me to get him to do it instead?” You ask, unbraiding her hair. 

“Yes, please.” She sniffles. 

This year, seeing as you and Jamie have both a son and a daughter, he suggested dressing up as the Addams Family for halloween. Belle loved the idea of being Wednesday and Charlie couldn’t wait to wear his striped t-shirt to be Pugsley. Jamie had bought a fake moustache and slicked his hair back to be Gomez and you had bought a beautiful, long black dress to be Morticia. 

You put down the hairbrush and left the bathroom to find Jamie, who was sitting on your bed with Charlie- using your makeup on him?

“Hey, this is expensive! We bought face paint, didn’t we?” You grin, plucking the makeup brush from Jamie’s hand. 

“We did…” Charlie began, before looking down. 

“He dropped it, it was an accident, darling” Jamie explained, before whispering, “he got a little bit upset about it.” 

“That’s okay! Accidents happen, love.” You sit down on the bed beside Charlie as he cuddles up to your shoulder. “Oh and Belle asked if you could do her hair, she said you can do it better than me.” You chuckle. 

“Of course!” Jamie grinned, standing up, “we practised it a couple days ago, it looked amazing. I think I should become a hairstylist!” 

You giggle as Jamie leaves the room to help Belle out, before turning to Charlie. 

“Let’s finish your makeup then, shall we?” 

He grins as he nods his head, so you pick the makeup brush back up. 

Once the kids were finally ready, Jamie occupied them in the living room so you could get changed into your outfit and do your makeup. You were surprised how quick you got ready, but you knew you had to hurry as the kids were excited and couldn’t wait to go trick or treating. 

As you walked carefully down the stairs so as to not trip on your dress, you could hear music coming from the living room. 

“They played the Monster Mash!” You heard Jamie sing in a funny voice as the kids giggled. 

He carried on singing along, not noticing you were standing at the door. Charlie was by his side, dancing with him as Belle sat on the sofa, laughing as they danced like zombies?

“You’re having a party and didn’t invite me?” You decided to speak up after the song had finished, leaning against the door as you smiled at your little family. This was truly all you could ever ask for. 

“Sorry, love.” Jamie pouted, taking your hand and bringing it to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on your skin, “you look amazing.” He whispered. 

Jamie was wearing an old suit of his, one you forgot he had. He never failed to look wonderful, no matter what he wore. Even last halloween when you all wore matching fruit-themed onesies and he was a banana, he was still a beautiful banana. 

“You don’t look too bad yourself,” you grinned, kissing his cheek. “So, who’s ready to go trick or treating?” 

Belle and Charlie’s eyes widened as they rushed to pick up their black pumpkin-buckets and stood by the door. Jamie followed them, he was almost as excited as the kids. 

“C’mon, y/n!” He smiled, everyone waited for you as you went to get everybody’s coats. 

“It’s going to be cold out there-”

“No! It’s going to ruin my outfit!” Belle frowned as you handed her her coat. 

“But you don’t want to be cold, darling.” Jamie said, helping her get her arms into the sleeves as you helped Charlie into his coat. 

“Can we go now?!” Charlie asked, desperate to leave. 

“I guess so.” You grinned, handing Jamie the car keys. 

Jamie had driven towards the town where you lived, where there were more houses to go to. He wanted to make Belle and Charlie’s first proper halloween one to remember. 

“Go on then, love. Knock on the door.” Jamie smiled in encouragement as Charlie and Belle approached the first house. 

“But I’m scared,” Charlie’s lip trembled, “will you come with us?”

“If I must.” Jamie pretended to sigh, handing you his phone as he held Belle and Charlie’s hands and walked up to the door, “when they answer, what do you say?” 

“Trick or treat!” They sang, big smiles on their face. 

As the door opened, an old lady stood on the other side, dressed up as a witch. She ‘awed’ at Charlie and Belle’s costumes before handing a big bowl full of chocolates out to them. They took one each and the woman looked at Jamie, a look to say ‘go on, take one too!’, and so he did. He grinned and thanked the lady as Belle and Charlie began to make their way back to you. 

“What did you get?” You asked, smiling as they showed you their chocolate in their pumpkin-buckets. 

“And I got one, too!” Jamie grinned, looking very proud of himself. 

“Mummy, can you come with us to the next house?” Belle asked. 

“You might get some chocolate like daddy did!” Charlie added. 

“Yeah, come with us!” Jamie smiled, kissing your cheek, his fake moustache making your skin feel itchy. 

“Okay! As long as you don’t kiss me with that moustache on again!” 

“I don’t know about that…”

By the end of the night, Belle and Charlie’s buckets were full of all kinds of sweets and chocolates as you all walked back to Jamie’s car. 

“I don’t want to go home yet!” Charlie frowned. 

“But we’ve been to all the houses here, and your little buckets won’t fit anymore sweets in!” You smile, helping him put his seatbelt on. 

“We could eat some of them and then we’ll have more room!” Belle suggested. 

“That’s a good idea!” Jamie gasped, helping Belle with her seatbelt. 

“No, don’t encourage them, Jamie!” You chuckled. “It’s past their bedtime!” 

“But it’s halloween! I have a shopping bag down there by you, they can tip their things into theirs and we can find some more houses to go to!” He grinned, getting into the driver's seat. 

“Pleaseeee.” Belle pouted. 

“We promise to give you some of our chocolate!” Charlie added, making you smile. 

“Well, I guess I know some more houses we could go to…” You begin, “Jamie, take a left out of here and head towards the other side of town.” 

You reach down to pick up the shopping bag by your feet and hand it to Charlie, he tipped his collection of sweets and chocolate into it before passing it to Belle so she could do the same. 

“This is the best halloween ever!” Belle smiled, looking out the car window at all the passing houses.
