Would you ever post a speedpaint? I'm amazed by your art every. Single. Time. Like i almost can't believe its not machine printed! It's soooooo brilliant. How long have you been drawing? Are there other art styles you dabbled with or have you always drawn with the intention of the current clean lined manga style you post now? I saw in the tags of your other asks that you have been into furudate's style recently so I'm wondering how you have been influenced before that and the transition of your art styles. I have sooo many questions that I'll try to hold back so I don't absolutely badger overwhelm you but I'm extremely interested in hearing about your art journey! Your lines are so strong, clean and finite, it leaves the impression of bravery and courage. You seem to be very humble but I wanted to objectively say that you're an amazing artist! So many emotions can be conveyed through just looking at your art despite what the art itself is of. It's a very bold feeling, that kind of thing. There is sooooo much power behind your art that it gives the viewer energy and fills them with a quiet sort of awe. I hope you have an absolutely amazing day and thank you so much for sharing your art with us!!!! With much love 💞💞💞💞💞 -tabi

oh my god first of all thank you so much for this ask??? i smiled so much reading it!!!

that's an idea, i might try to do one someday! i know csp has a timelapse feature so maybe i'll start recording those and post em here and there for ones im proud of? (unfortunately i dont have them for ones i've already drawn 😢)

ADJSHASADS YOUR COMMENTS ARE SO NICE???? IM LIKE🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

i started doing digital art pretty early on, like elementary/middle school? (started out just drawing stuff like my little pony and warrior cats fanart hbds)

ive spent most of my time messing around w fanart for anime and western cartoons, so i would say that other fanart/official art for those styles have been my primary influence! although my style has changed it's pretty much always been stuff with solid colors and cel shading.

i also focused on animation (without doing 'regular' art) for a period of time, inspired by a lot of japanese animators! (it's something that i'd love to return to after i feel a bit more 'solid' with regular art, so maybe you'll see some haikyuu animations at some point!! maybe??? no promises though)

the manga influence has been pretty recent, i'd say just the past year or so, because it's just been something i've been paying more attention to when reading manga. furudate's influence is even more recent because i've actually only started reading the manga around the time i started doing these! (i'm so glad i did) i've become more comfortable with doing a kind of 'clean sketch' style, with quick, loose, kinda angular lines. i like it because i don't have to focus on getting each line 'perfect', and working in just black and white means i can draw things a bit quicker (i think lol)

AAA AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH I HOPE THIS ANSWERS A FEW OF YOUR QUESTIONS AT LEAST!

Kurenai Normal VCV Review

Hello again. I wanted to start this post off with a reminder. I generally aim to make full fledged review posts once a month! Life has been busy lately and I like to give adequate time to each voicebank I review. There are 4 reviews in the queue after this one, so if you send in a request it’ll take a while to get to. I’ve had some people send in multiple requests for the same UTAU; this will not make the blog get written faster. With that out of the way, let’s talk about an UTAU I’ve posted a bunch on this blog already!

This review was requested by @beastorizer​.

*Art by morinopome

Hear a Sample of Kurenai Normal VCV

Bio

Voicer: Liure/@beastorizer D4 Oto: Lioerri

Gender: Female Age: Older than she looks Height: 6'2 (without heels) Weight: heavier than the average person Birthday: November 14th Personality: A robot girl. She shows little to no emotion. She is non-hostile nor deviant, just mostly apathetic. She is observant and a little curious. She either mimics you or says nonsensical things. She likes to talk to electronics, but she doesn't care for humans. She may focus on you if you're also a robot/cyborg/android. She has just started to learn about her surroundings. Due to an error caused by incomplete programming that was not completed by her previous creator, she will VERY RARELY and involuntarily show facial expressions.

Official Site

Liure has a google site for UTAU works. Please view Liure’s Terms Of Service before downloading Kurenai. After doing that, you can click through to find her voicebank download page. The one I’ll be talking about today is her Normal/通常 VCV. The Kurenai derivatives are fun though. 

First Impressions

Kurenai is a bright, feminine voice with a softer tone. It is better in mezzo/soprano ranges but has quite a bit of flexibility when g flags are added.  Normal VCV is about 340 MB when unzipped and comes with fully generated .frq files.

Configuration

Kurenai has 4 pitches at A3, D4, G4, and C5. It sounds the best in high ranges overall (she reminds me a bit of Roce). What gets me is how Kurenai’s pitch transitions are near seamless; I can barely tell there’s different pitches being used at all when I use USTs with her. Aside from C5, which understandably has a pretty different tone. It’s not quite falsetto, but it can be used for a softer vocal. I’d describe Kurenai normal as just being...mellow? For power, I’d recommend Kurenai’s Hoshi or Vesta voicebanks. Kurenai Normal also has end breaths, glottal stops, and long vowels. The end breaths are quite subtle and quiet, but there are inhales for extra heavy whispery breaths. I especially like the long vowels since they should way better when looped than the regular vowels. Liure also added double vowel end breaths to the voicebank (ex: “ou R”) which I ADORE. Why isn’t this a standard thing already considering you might want vowels to end in specific ways?

About that comment on the g flags, Kurenai has quite a warm and better sounding low tone when a g6 flag is added. The VA seems to have been voice acting while recording, or at least sings in a “cheeks puffed out”/”chipmunk way. This is NOT meant to be an insult, I actually really like it. But it might not be everyone’s taste so g flags change that quite nicely.

My recommended flags: F0H0h10C10

My recommended resamplers: vs4u, doppeltler

Final Thoughts

Kurenai is a flexible, sweet voice with impressive quality and a lot of nice features. If you want a new overseas female UTAU to check out I 100% recommend her.

Got any other UTAUs you want me to review? Send an ask!

AURORA’s Reddit Q&A (July 13th 2021)

Kmilalv: Hello aurora we love you, I'm @ aurora.s_love on instagram ✨✨🥰🥰🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️ Aurora: oh hellooo!!!! Exportmusic: Meep Aurora: meep < 3 Lisxnne: WELL HELLO AND THANKS FOR YOUR NEW SONG! 🙏🌟💕 Aurora: HELLO!! and thank you for being open to it 24681357900: Thank u for making music Aurora: thank you for inviting it into your heart Emergency-Club-7529: This is have some upper case , it's the real Aurora Aurora: yes!!! Helloooooo brunamombach: hello ✨🃏🧚🏻‍♂️🤘🍇🍄🧚🏻‍♀️ when are you coming do Brazil? so glad to see you here!!! Aurora: I think I will be coming to Brazil next year  I love being in Brazil because I feel like it awakens my heart and soul to be there !! Brunamombach: if you were going to an souless island, what book would you bring with you? 🧚🏻‍♂️🍇🍄🧚🏻‍♀️🤘🃏 kisses from Brazil Aurora: I would either take: "The name of the wind" and "a Wise mans fear" or the LOTR trilogy. Or the "Mistborn" trilogy. or "warbreaker" or "the good omens" or "the ocean at the end of the lane" or "Anne of Green gables" or "The alchemist" or just all the books in the world oh no I cant decide

all DanParis: Hey have some karma you cool bean 🤌🏼 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Aurora: thank you < 3 Ok-Estimate8468: Tell us something you can tell us about the second track on the Cure For Me vinyl, “Potion For Love”. I'm very curious...

Aurora: its the song I decided for the B-side of the vinyl, and I will probably release it digitally one day too. Its the sister song to "exist for love" but from the other perspective. where love does not fill you up, but love has left a big hole within you < / 3 Ok-Estimate8468: Did you get a lot of unfollows and hate from bad people due to Cure For Me? Aurora: I got a little hate from homophobes, and also abelist, and racist comments from people claiming there was nothing wrong with their mindset. BUT it does not bother me. and I will never stop speaking up about the things I find important. because.. what else would our meaning on this earth be? if that makes sense. Some people have attacked me personally, but sadly mostly its people defending their own hateful ways of being. I cant even imagine how it really is to be a victim of racism or violent homophobia, so I feel like the least I can do is to try the best I can to show support. and speak up. and be an ally.

So a bit more short - yes, and I really dont mind!!!! unfollow me if you find speaking about equality and the right to live, and love and be loved unsettling <3 thank you for this question! Ok-Estimate8468: How was the process of creating the studio version of Cure For Me? I heard your first acoustic performance and saw that it's much smoother than the studio, so I was curious to see how you managed to create another even more amazing version. Aurora: Me and Magnus just played around, and we really tried to go with our emotions, and to be playful and to not think too much about what was "AURORA" or what was even...pretty! we just laughed! and danced! and did what felt lovely to us.

I think this is why the making of this song is one of my favourite memories, and also I think that is why it sounds so playful! because it is!! it was like playing a game. and I did also play alot around with symbolics in both the lyrics and the way this song is produced. it all has a meaning you see... but of course I will let you figure that out yourself!!

Pingouiin_: What's your favourite mountain around bergen ? Aurora: mine is Løvstakken!! and Magnus loves Ullrikken!! but important to NEVER stop a Norwegian person walking on the mountain. just say. a quick hello and wander off your own mind. become at one with nature Whoamiandallthat: Thank you for existing, I love your art and you inspire me so much 💙 You are one of my favorite artists 😊 And just the other day I found out that you are just two years older than me, and so successful... I'm wondering how it was for you to become so popular, did you feel like people thought you needed a cure? I'm also in the sphere of arts - filmmaking; but I feel like my films are not good enough... I have a YouTube channel with some videos - if you ever see this comment I would like for you to check it out 😊 Aurora: Ive felt through my life like something was a little off, ive never resonated that much with the people or the "system" around me! it didn't bother me so much even though I. was teased a lot for it ( so again I was very lucky) but I never felt like I understood the world and my place in it. or how I. could fit in, in this worlds society and with other people ! and becoming "famous" which I dont really feel that I am, but I guess that I am a little "known" (meep) was very strange, and very hard to handle at first. as impressions affect me a lot, and noises and people etc. but with time I got better at handling all these impressions, and avoid getting a.. sensory overload! and I am so happy now, that I can look directly at strangers and actually listen to them, and understand them, and even love them I guess what I am trying to say, that ive now understood that this is the very thing that connected me to all of you. and now I see my place here on this earth. and I see all of you, and you give my life so much meaning!! Lets_Fight_Dragons: Firstly I wanted to say I recently discovered your music and I love everything about it. I have two questions, I hope that’s ok 1. How do you start writing songs because I’m trying to get into songwriting and I’m not sure how you write such amazing songs 2. What’s your favourite song you’ve released? Aurora: 1. well I dont really know. ( I am sorry!!) but I feel like it started really natural for me.. I. kind of just sat down with my piano.. and then I started playing around with the Keyes, and I figured out I could make an endless amount of melodies by simply pressing the keys in a different order!! remember finding this extremely magical (I was around 6 years old then) and after a while I started adding lyrics, and I just spent time looking into myself, trying to figure out. - what do I want to say? what do. I need to hear in a song? what do the world need to hear in a song? and etc. I always think about songwriting as storytelling. and I always start out by figuring out what story I want to tell, what matter I want to dress, or what pleases me, or annoys me with the world, or what emotion I need help dealing with!! and then I write a song!!! and if you feel like its difficult to come up with melodies, I would recommend finding a song you like, and learn the chords of it (or find an instrumental version. online) and then you make your own melodies on top of that! many of the songs of the world share the same chords, and often the melodies on top is the thing separating them. music belongs to all of us, and its clear that every song in the world comes from the same magical source. 2. I think its the seed. or couples creatures!! or infections of a different kind!! tiffnoir: Our dear AURORA, your b-side A Potion For Love is helping me a lot (broken heart since a few days ago). I wanted to ask (if I can haha) if would it be included at the upcoming album, or maybe a relaxing, vintage video for it? Thanks for helping all of us with your music ^_^ Aurora: thank you som much for letting this song into your heart  after writing exist for love, I figured that I should also make a sister-song that could belong for the ones with a broken heart as well  it will not be on the album, but for you I will try to put it on the deluxe version FedahpWithThisWurld: Hello, Aurora! I'm a neurodivergent person and I have always felt a lot of shame over being the way I am, like I'm not good enough. Your music makes me feel better and it makes me feel that being me is okay. Thank you for that.  I want to know how you manage to be so confident? Do you ever get nervous before a show? Aurora: hello!!!! I have had a lot of similar experiences with myself in this world too.. so I am very sad to hear you've lived your life with this feeling I think after a while I understood what makes me different also makes me special. and special is good. and if you think about it, special isn't even that different, because in one way or another we are all... unique. but of course, some people have had to fight their. way through life more than others.. making it less easy to learn how to love yourself. and accept yourself. I guess, now I've surrounded myself with good people who understand my quirks and sensitivities, people who give me time. and space to be me. I have also been lucky, because I have a family that have always encouraged me to be myself. and to love myself. and I guess that is why I am trying to convey to all of you now, because now we are like al little family. where being who you are - is cool. and you're cool. and were all cool. and I get nervous all the time, of all sorts of things! but I just accept that feeling as a part of being human. its uncomfortable yes, but I know at least it won't kill me! 3charmplease: What was it like recording for Frozen? Aurora: it was magical  and also slightly scary. but it felt safe and good calling at the mountains. and I feel warm thinking about it. especially now. cause my father just walked over to me with five little strawberries in his hand. he gave them all to me. and they were so small, and sweet. im currently sitting in my childhood home, right next to the very piano where I wrote "runaway" and so many other songs. Tiny-Sink-2397: Boom shake shake shake the room Aurora: that was actually during the recording process of Cure For Me! Tiny-Sink-2397: I thought it was!! Seemed like an epic party Aurora: YES Joelynxyzs: what's your favorite movie ? Aurora: Practical magic BUT ALSO THESE: The LOTR triology ALL GHIBLI MOVIES avatar once upon a time in Hollywood Hannah the perfume fantastic MR. fox Star Wars: a new hope rouge one isle of dogs the hunchback of Notre dame! the arrival stypop: If you were to get the chance to work on a sequel to another Disney movie, which one would you want it to be? Aurora: since Disney owns Lucas films I would love to be a part of the Star Wars universe  or to play either a magical fairy, witch mermaid, forest nymph, or a scary beast!! WE WO brisot: The masks in CFM remind me of theater plays, do you ever watch any and how much of an influence for you is the art of acting? Aurora: this era of my life is very influenced by the ancient times where theatre was all they had. no CGI or special effects etc. and I really wanted all these videos to feel very authentic, and down to earth! The shell in "exist for love" was handmade by someone, and I painted all the masks in "cure for me" myself! so I like it when it feels... human Clear-Champion-1833: i love you Aurora:

<3

Jicuhrabbitkim: How do you like your fried eggs cook!! I like it when its very crispy!! Aurora: as long as its from a local farm that has free healthy chickens that walk about freely and eat good food I like my eggs crispy too. GhostReaper3: Hi I have a question as well: How do you keep positive? Many people including myself find this difficult sometimes so it would be good to hear your technique or way of keeping upbeat and positive! Also, thank you for sharing your music with us! Aurora: I know what you mean, i've struggled with it myself at times. but I guess I tried separating in my mind what I can do something about, and what I cant? if that makes sense?? we are all just here on this planet. and though we all seem to be going though the same things we still feel so alone, in our thoughts and in our minds. And I've been very aware that with music, and with this fandom we can all finally connect, and see each other, and know that we are not alone! and if there is one thing I love, it is to dance a little after I've cried. I think its important to. shake these emotions out of our body. like animals do! and then I made CURE FOR ME. because I thought about all the warriors out there feeling. a little crazy... after isolation! or after being depressed! and being l rocked in with their families that might not accept them for who they are.. and I thought I needed to make a song for us all, that felt a little uplifting. and uniting. just so we know where not alone, and just so we know that we are worthy.. of everything! and that we are worthy of celebrating ourselves!! ALWAYS! aniri003: Were the dancers freestyling in the last part of the video Aurora: YES! I told them to put their freak game on. And they were amazing. L_pls_use_revive: Hei Aurora! Apart from inspiring me with your music for emotional people, I also dicovered my love for Norway and the Norwegian language through you - now studying it in my second year at university. Tusen, tusen takk! I want to visit soon when traveling is safe - So which place should I not miss out on? Have a great life! Aurora: I think the whole of Norway is worth visiting! there are so many beautiful places. and beautiful people! I would ofc. recommend Bergen! (haha!) but also places like Tromsø, Trondheim, Stavanger, lofted and The Geirangerfjord and the Northwest!!! HAHA KakSetoKaiba: How's the progress of the album that you've been preparing which will be released after your death? Aurora: its going well, I take one song for every chapter and I put it on my death album instead of the album I'm making  its going well. and im excited about it! maria_fernandez_: This is not a question but I just wanted to tell you that discovering you and your music has been the best thing that ever happened to me. What your music makes me feel cannot be described in words. I love you so much. Greetings from Spain!! Aurora: thank you!!! applepieaurora: Whats your favorite pie? 🐉 Aurora: apple pie  and blueberry pie!! Ok-Potato7244: Thanks for sharing your time ... a warrior here to welcome you...Have some tea...And i don't need a cure for disliking keeping animals in cages...Especially birds...💚... Aurora: thank you pekaraseva: what do you feel when you perform Ioadk or Adkoh for people? Aurora: I feel so full of emotion and love and despair I could almost explode  and its wonderful. I also feel insanely connected to the audience when I sing these songs.. I. think. its because they are such important pieces of my soul targaryenblood02: omg what do you think cure for me would smell like? 🐛 Aurora: like something Brazilian! like Asai! or caipirinha! or Brigadeiro!

sproutingephemeral: Hello Aurora, Thanks for your new song, I've gotten quite addicted to it😊 I have a question that might be a bit difficult to answer. I am a Warrior from the U.S. currently without a clue of where I should be and what I should be doing. I'm done with school, and in the process of moving to a new town with my parents. I'm applying for jobs, but I feel like I can't find my reason for being in a smaller area with not many people my age. I feel like my parents are trying to mold me into a certain person, which doesn't feel authentic to me. I probably should be making more of my own decisions at my age, but I'm a bit scared and confused, if what I think is deemed too unrealistic or out of line with their expectations for me (like a childhood dream?). I tried talking to them about it, to little success. Is there something inherently wrong with me? Or am I just being spoiled or lazy? I read about how you were initially opposed to starting your career until your mother convinced you to change your mind. How do you know whether or not to trust in your parents' plans for you? On a lighter note, do you prefer cookies that are more soft (chewy) or hard (crumbly)? I don't need a cure for...my autism, and tendency to talk regularly to my deceased cat at his grave (??)😿👼 Looking forward to seeing you in New York! Take care❤❤ Aurora: you should ALWAYS. only do what feels right for you. this world is very absurd, and people tend to think they know what is meaningful and what is important. but we all know, money and success isn't important beyond what you need to simply survive. this one life is yours. and you should be just who you want. and do what feels right for you. because its yours. its only yours. drink tea. work hard. be lazy. dance. be shy. laugh, cry. drink wine and eat good bread. be good. fight for something you care about. and either live for your work, or work a little and then just... live. get a garden, grow tomatoes, get a cat. or a dog. or a parrot. life can be so random, and it can be both so little, and so large at the same time. some days were meant to TAKE chances, and live. and sometimes were just meant to exist. and do nothing. you should never feel guilty for not "being enough" because you are enough. just who you are. just how you are. is enough. good luck on your strange journey my warrior, maybe our paths crosses and maybe they dont. but know, when you walk out of your door, that anything can happen! and the whole world is yours. Hippolyte_gray: is the name of the next album hidden in your previous songs ? Aurora: mayyyyyybeeeeeeeee rashadalt: what do you think about your fans who are racist/homophobic etc.? Aurora: I feel sorry for them. because I know I cant be easy l living a life so full of hate. and even spending your precious. time on this world bringing other people down. and I know how easy it is for people to be driven by fear, and how difficult. it can be to have an original meaning and stand up for what you really mean. so I dont judge them, or hate them,

but I do feel sorry for them. and I am also very disappointed in them. because its such a. waste of human potential to live your life in the paths of hatred.

but as long as we face hate with love, we will eventually win. when we show them. we are not the enemy, just people trying to make a better world, I think, and I hope that eventually we can all agree that being able to live, and being able to love is a human right. Brivera726: I noticed you said you would bring LOTR trilogy with you to an island- I’m reading them for the fourth time right now  I feel like if Galadriel sing songs it would sound like you! Anyway I really like your art so yah just keep doing u- love from PFC Rivera, USMC Aurora: this is then est thing ive ever read thank you Aurora: I am. sorry people, but my time here (for tonight) is up </3 but I will probably be back looking at your questions and thoughts because I did really. enjoy this. and I. love you all so. much.

Zukka Youtuber AU (pt 1)

Youtuber au inspired by @ratatosk-express – Link to the post (https://ratatosk-express.tumblr.com/post/622032956613115904/okay-so-idk-if-youtuber-aus-are-still-a-thing)

Sokka has a channel dedicating to his inventions and other projects, but his live streams are particularly famous for the amazing stories he tell.

Basically everything is the same, except it’s in a modern setting and Sokka is relatively internet famous.

** Hey, just a little heads up, I change some things from the original post, I hope it’s not a problem! **

Sokka tells his audience a lot of stories during his streams. Most of them are from his journey with the avatar, although he occasionally talks about his childhood in the Southern Water Tribe. Many of his fans watch these streams because of them, even if the overwhelming majority believes them to be fake. After he came back and decided to expand his content, Sokka found out he is particularly good at storytelling, and it granted him an audience that didn’t even followed his main channel but appreciated the contents of his lives.

He got annoyed sometimes when he recieved comments that treated his life experiences as a fantasy. His biggest mistake was sharing Yue’s story with his fans; all of the teasing and ‘yeah right’ comments really got to him, but there wasn’t much to be done. It was quite a surreal story, and if they wouldn’t believe him there wasn’t much he could do to prove it. Too many people have already forgotten the old spirits of the moon and the ocean and how crucial they are to water benders, so if they didn’t believe that, they wouldn’t believe Yue’s sacrifice.

They did believe his stories about the Kyoshi Warriors. After all that happened the girls became quite famous, and even if they thought the details were too exagerated and fake (I mean, the avatar was there? And he dated one of the warriors? Please.), it wasn’t impossible, that’s for sure. I mean, he did talk about attending formal events with his boyfriend, so, yeah, why not? The Kyoshi Warriors attend those too, don’t they?

Speaking of his boyfriend, he told them little about him. His audience knew he existed, but he was never seen on camera and there were many stories or commentaries involving him, but he never went too deep into it. When asked about it, he told them his significant other was a private guy, and he himself didn’t feel like there was a huge need to share their romantic lives online. Most people were pretty respectful from that point onwardars, although there are always some exceptions.

More often than not, his quick comments about his daily life involved him, and everyone though they were super sweet, although most of them gave his audience the impression that he was dating a very socially awkward and overly emotional man. They weren’t exactly wrong, they just didn’t have the whole truth; still they always asked Sokka to see them at least once during his lives. One of the most know and loved stories about him had been told in a stream as he built a new house for the turtle ducks’ lake. The last one was getting too old, and he had nothing else to do with his time.

“Hey, did I ever tell you guys about the time my boyfriend brought like, eight little turtle ducks home?”

The comment section was filled with negative responses, although some were very panicked.

“Yeah, it’s true. Happened about two weeks after I moved in. They were all babies and their mom got hit by a car? Some jerk was probably speeding and the poor creature died, leaving her children behind. He brought them here because they were too young and he was afraid they’d die if left alone.”

Many comments were praising him for the action, and some were worried about what happened to the little creatures.

“It was kinda of cute but I got a little freaked out about where to put them. Then he told me we have a pond? I swear, this place is so big I could die from starvation after getting lost on my way to the kitchen.”

He laughed. Once again, a lot of comments talking about how full of shit he was flooded the chat.

“I’m serious guys. I’d rather bring him to my tribe, but that’s really not an option, unfortunatly. So I moved here, and I think I only know about 30% of this building even after being here for like, almost a year.”

Someone told him to write a map.

“Hah, yeah, I should probably do that.” He smiled. “Actually, that reminds me of that time me and my friends got stuck in a cave with a bunch of crazy hippies while trying to get to Omashu. We were looking for an earth bending master for Aang. It was wild, the tunnels kept moving so I couldn’t keep a map of the labyrinth, and a badger mole almost ate me.”

The comment section went wild again. Some people were excited because he was finally telling a story, some people were calling bullshit on the moving tunnels... It was chaotic, and Sokka loved that. He was pretty chaotic himself, so this crazy comment section always amused him.

Sokka didn’t care that his stories weren’t believed. He understood that his situation was... unusual. Besides, many stories he told were of public knowledge already, he just set the record straight for most of them, adding unknow details or straight up correcting lies. There was only one thing he couldn’t stand being questioned on; his skills. When he mentioned he once built an armor for Aang’s sky bison, he wasn’t mad when they laughed at the idea that he was the avatar’s friend, no, he was mad when someone commented that he was lying about knowing how to build an armor. After that, he put out a series of videos on his channel in which he forged an armor for himself from scratch, even if he knew he’d never use it (And every single one of them started with a screenshot from said comment).

So his irritation at this moment really shouldn’t be a surprise. After showing off the sword he made for his channel, he told his audience about how he learned all he knew in the art of the sword from Piandao, who told him he had great potential to surpass even him. Of course, the comment section laughed again.

“It’s true!” He exclaimed, exasperated “Why would I lie about something like that? Okay, I see why I would lie about something like that, but really, I’m not lying. I swear!”

The comments still went on.

“Okay, you know what? I’ll prove it.” He got up and moved some furniture around to open enough space for a duel “HEY JERKBENDER,” He yelled from his door “GET IN HERE! AND BRING YOUR SWORDS!”

The audience heard a voice.

“What is it, Sokka? Did something happen?”

“No babe,” They heard Sokka answer, with a much softer tone this time, before planting a kiss to the other’s face “My viewers think I’m lying about being a swordsman, so I need to prove myself.”

“Really?” They heard an unimpressed voice.

“Hey, you’re all about honor, aren’t you? Help me defend mine for once.” Sokka apeared in the picture again, smiling, followed by Zuko, as in the Firelord Zuko. Many jaws were dropped.

“Fine, but I won’t make this easy.” He swung his dual swords.

“Me neither.”

They attacked each other for some time, occasionally getting out of the frame before jumping back in. Sokka eventually tossed an used shirt at Zuko’s face to throw him off. It made him confused, but he didn’t give up so easily.

“Unfair!” He exclaimed, getting up and defending himself from another one of Sokka’s attack “I’ll fire bend if you keep this up.”

“You’re getting me a replacement for anything you burn!” Sokka complained, jumping on his bed for leverage, but Zuko kicked it and he fell with an emasculating yelp. The fire bender had the upper hand now, but Sokka was quick to get up.

Eventually, Sokka managed to disarm Zuko, and used the tip of his sword to lift his chin up.

“You really ought to practice more with the swords.” He said, a smug smile on his face.

“Shut up, you dork.” Zuko answered, a little frustrated from the loss, but mostly proud of his boyfriend’s mastery.

He walked up to his boyfriend, replacing the blade with his fingers.

“Thanks baby. You’re the best.” He leaned in and softly kissed him. Once he tried to step back, he felt Zuko gripping him by the waist, holding him and deepening their kiss.

“I miss you. We barely had any time together this week.” Zuko complained “Go by my room when you’re done, okay?”

“Sure babe.” Sokka smiled, still being held by Zuko “Wait, why don’t you say hello, then I end the transmisson, huh? They’ve been wanting to see you for a while.”

“Really?” Zuko asked, a little amazed and curious.

“Yeah! I think they fell in love with you after I told them about the turtle ducks. But, honestly, who wouldn’t.” Sokka smiled and guided him to the camera “See guys, I told you I’m a...” He turned his face to the screen again “Oh.”

“Oh.” Zuko mimicked, watching as the comments rolled in faster than he could read, all of them some sort of variation of ‘Is that the fucking Firelord?’.

“I-I...” Sokka stuttered “I mean, I’m pretty sure I mentioned his name.”

A comment said ‘Yeah but there are many Zukos in the world’.

“It’s not my fault you don’t believe my stories! I told you I travelled with the avatar, the same avatar who is friends with the Firelord, who happens to be my boyfriend. I thought it was kinda obvious.”

‘Wait’ Said another comment ‘SO IT’S ALL TRUE???’.

“What do you mean it’s all- Yes it’s all true. Of course it is.” He looked at the comments flooding in and sighed. “Y’know what? I’ll deal with this tomorrow. I love you guys, but I’m a little too tired to do this now. Byeeee!”

With that, he turned the stream off. Zuko had an amused smile on his face.

“What?” Sokka asked.

“Nothing.” He answered “I’m just... I don’t know, when you said they wanted to see me I thought it was because I’m the Firelord and all. But... They didn’t know. They wanted to see me from the dumb stories you tell them about me.” Zuko smiled at the ground “You must’ve painted me in a very kind light, love.”

“I mean... There’s no way I can paint you in a bad light, really.” Sokka placed his hands in Zuko’s waist “You know that, don’t you?” Zuko kept his gaze fixated on the ground “Zuko, baby, you’re a great, kind, brave man. And I’m madly in love with you because of it.”

“I love you too Sokka.” Zuko smiled, but still couldn’t bring himself to look at Sokka. After some time together, Sokka figured it was best to just let him look at wherever, if it made him comfortable. He already had to sustain too much eye contact as fire lord, so when he was in his arms, Sokka just wanted the man to be at ease. Even if that meant he wouldn’t always look him in the eye.

“C’mon,” He squeezed his sides slightly “Take me to your room, my lord, because mine is too messy for the cuddles you deserve.” Sokka teased, getting a small chucke from Zuko as he turned to walk out of his boyfriend’s chaotic room.

“It is impressive how messy your room is, considering our maids clean it everyday.”

“What can I say? It’s one of my many talents.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know that originally Zuko’s supposed to win, but like... In my mind, after all that happened, their skills were pretty much on the same level, and considering that Sokka would have more free time to practice than the Firelord would, well... I think his victory is not all that surprising plus i think his smug smile directed at zuko would be so cute and make him melt af

Romance Novels

(A/N: I did not anticipate the love I got on the last one, thank you, kids. I’ll be tagging the sweet boys that asked to be tagged. Comment or reblog if you want me to tag you in the next one I guess?? Fanfic is so confusing, I’m trying to learn. Help your grandfather.)

This is technically a sequel to this but can totally be read on its own. 

Word Count: 1k+

Connor RK 800 x Gender Neutral Reader

With a hard slam, your assortment of paperback books lands on your work desk. Even though the work day has only just started, your colleagues have had enough of your shit already and give you none of the attention you demand. 

Except for the one that matters. 

Surprisingly, Hank showed up earlier than you, which in itself is an offensive statement but considering on your way in he was mumbling “stupid androids breaking stupid windows running on fucking windows.” Means that you don’t have to give the old man credit. So you wouldn’t.

With this early time and Connor getting coffee for Hungover Hank, you have the perfect audience you need. 

“Hank, you won’t believe the night I had.” With that being the first time you spoke today, there’s far more exasperation in your voice than expected, but it fits.

Hank slowly blinks, and without hesitation exposes you to people that are not bothering to listen.

“Well, sometime past fucking midnight you left me a drunk voicemail screaming about how much you hate video mail because,” Doing air quotes and the worst impression of you possible, “’I am so fucking ugly, Hank, and the future expects me to just? Get hotter? For the better of humanity? I think the fuck not.’ And how excited you were about my ‘new dog’, so I have some guesses.”

You pause, you are still excited about your books and discoveries, but honestly drunk you brought up some excellent points you never thought of. That and though you hate to admit it, you forgot about this drunken voicemail and are extremely scared of checking your call history now. 

You breathe, “Okay, you’re somewhat close but not at all.”

Hank rubs his eyes in preparation, “Do I want to know?”

“Oh, you definitely want to hear none of the things I’m about to say but I’m not giving you that choice.” With your superior, younger, athletic skill, you grab Hank’s earphones and toss them under your desk. Now that you stand in the middle of the bullpen, you can’t help but walk and talk like your Sherlock, gesturing your hands wildly.

“So last night I was thinking about Connor, our new ally--”

“And how your first introduction to state of the art tech was by throwing yourself onto his table and screaming?”

You do a 180 twist, making you feel a little cooler, something you need after that statement. “Good guess but no, Fridays are ‘getting emotional over personal blunders’ nights, Wednesday nights are me time. And during this me time I thought about our new cool android friend. What do androids’ like? Is he actually programmed to like heavy metal? I had to know, so I went to what I assume is the only paper bookstore left in Detroit and bought everything I could find on androids.”

Hank opens and closes his mouth trying to find the right words, “I’m trying to find where this leads to drinking.”

Pointing at him and doing a voice reminiscent of an 80s’ show host, you yell out as you walk back to your desk with unbreaking eye contact, “Like the detective you are, reverse engineering! Well, I’ll answer your burning questions.”

Picking up the top stack of books from your desk you walk over to Hank’s and slam the books onto his desk.

“Hank, I hit a fucking goldmine.” Slowly craning your head downwards, you hold unbreaking level eye contact with the lieutenant.

“Based on your standards, I’m a little frightened about what that might mean,”

“Human. Android. Romance. Novels.”

“OH GOD! Come on man--no--what?”

“That’s what I said halfway through my second bottle of wine, it’s been a goddamn journey, Hank.” 

Hank rubbed his face in emotional anguish, “Why would you buy those?”

“Because if I didn’t no one else would! They were a small, niche, bottom shelf squadron and they needed to be in my home. It was a horrifying destiny.”

“What needed to be in your home, detective? Did you get a dog? I like dogs.”

You choke.

This beautiful, fish-eyed, two coffee holding piece of tech would kill you.

You were not going to tell your first and only android friend that you were reading android porn last night.

“They bought android porn.”

You twist back to the smug face of Hank, who enjoys, apparently, seeing the death in your eyes and the red slowly jumping further and further up your skin. 

You put your hands up in defence as if trying to calm a rabid dog when in reality it was just a very confused robot holding coffees.

“It’s so much better than you think--”

He squints, “The... porn?”

“NO! And listen it wasn’t even porn there was like hundreds of pages before it got juicy- There was so much foreplay to the foreplay.” You defend.

“You’re not really building yourself a great case here,” Hank said offhandedly, you flip him the bird.

You put your hands down and sigh, looking at your feet, “See, I wanted to get to know androids better so that I could accommodate you--”

“Accommodate me?” Connor tilts his head in confusion, his indicator blinking and spinning in a vibrant yellow.

“Well yeah, you’re the only android here that’s working in the bullpen. It must be a little uncomfortable to be the Lonewolf and with Gavin calling you a ‘tin can’--”

“SUCK A DICK!” Gavin yells from across the bullpen.

You turn your head quickly, “No need to yell your daily goals, sweetie!” You turn back to the neutral robot.

“--so I wanted you to feel more... At home?” You hesitate with each sentence, not knowing exactly what to say.

“Detective, that is kind of you, but I cannot feel discomfort--” You interrupt him with clenched fists.

“Yeah, that’s what the books said. I didn’t really like that approach though, so I moved on to the romance novels, they were less accurate in many ways, but better.” You look up, fists unclenched and smile brightly.

“It’s not like it matters anyway, these books don’t cover your type since you’re a prototype, but I have learned plenty of the RK-200 model in both a scientific and erotic way.” You step backwards to Hank’s desk and grab your books, walking back up to the RK-800.

“Since it seems books won’t help me, I guess I’ll just have to learn about you all on my own.” You beam at him, he gives you his perfect terrible smile. You have to tell him to work on it.

“I would like that, detective.”

You walk back to your desk, and he sits down at his, he would have to go over to hand you the coffee Connor made for you he realises, but Hank speaks up. 

“I’m-- Just get used to them, if you’re trying to analyze them or some shit don’t bother, they’re always this erratic and confusing.”

Connor stares at you, you kicking over your stack of books to the floor as Captain Fowler showed up, screaming,

“PLEASE DON’T LOOK AT MY EROTIC LITERATURE!”

Connor blinked, “Actually...”

“I quite like them.”

Undo my ESC - 2019, SF1

Hello there, folks, and welcome to the first part of Undo my ESC, where I take a look at the field this year and, for each country, make a feasible change – as small as, for example, minor tinkerings with the staging, or as big as a different song completely winning a national final. It’s all light-hearted and just my opinion, of course. Allons-y... Cyprus: We start off completely in the deep end. I loathe “Fuego”, and this repackaged Fue2.0 is no better and is indeed perhaps worse to me given that I hate desperate attempts to catch lightning in the same jar. I also find Tamta a very unsympathetic character. I don’t know what I’d do to improve this, other than replace the internal selection with a national final with some songs actually in Greek and with local character. Montenegro: Things do not improve... but at least the solution is easier! Montenegro had a decent national final in which literally any other song would have been a better choice. I particularly liked “Nevinost”, and so did the unfortunately out-voted expert jury, so would be tempted to give D mol’s ticket to Tel Aviv to its artist, Ivana Popović, instead. I do find D mol to be sweet kids though, so the other part of me would be sad to rob them of their time in the limelight and would instead have taken the 90s throwback and bizarre random background sound elements out of their song, replaced the score with one that emphasised the traditional musical elements, and kept the lyrics in Montenegrin.

Finland: Three strikes and I am almost out. I really struggle with the new UMK format – I understand the logic behind it, just as I did when it was a thing in the UK in the early 90s, but I think it only really works if an artist has a wide-ranging repertoire. If not, then you end up with 3 samey songs that only appeal to people who like the music styles that artist makes. I’m not an EDM fan and I would have taken the relative flop of Saara Aalto last year as indication to return to a multi-artist UMK. Plenty of artists from previous years who could be worth a spot in one such.

Poland: I was disappointed by the disappearance of Poland’s national final, but I can’t say I was too surprised after a few underperforming years. I have to commend the Polish broadcasters for going for something popular within their own country, without being overly preöccupied as to how it would play outwith their borders. Pali się is one of those entries that I don’t like much but which I respect. My changes would be to remove the pointless English intro and outro, which, if one were not paying attention, one might not notice actually being in English. I’d also try to make the song a little less linear, as the song feels mostly confined to one pace.

Slovenia: Finally, we come to a country where I can change next to nothing. Many people I know were disappointed that “Kaos” was not elected as the Slovenes’ song. Whilst I found it an earworm, I really didn’t like her haughty, “I’m only in EMA to promote my new disc” attitude – and I really preferred the delectable, contemplative and intimate “Sebi.” It’s pure elegance in simplicity, and I wouldn’t need to change a thing.

Czechia: I appreciate the Czechs’ creätive way of bypassing the expenses of a traditional national final – whilst still giving fans a choice – by holding their selection online. Really cute this year was the way they tried to equalise differences in funding by making the candidates’ official video be a low-budget affair filmed in their flats. I liked quite a few songs of their selection, with the eventual winner, “Friend of a friend”, middle of my rankings. I would, of course, opt for my #1 of the NF to win instead, the delightful slice of “Bohemiana del Rey” style that was “True Colours.”

Hungary: Hungary’s A Dal has the cachet to attract a number of returning artists, so it was not surprising that, eventually, it would be won by someone who’d triumphed before – and I’m delighted it was Joci Papái, one of the biggest revelations of the Hungarian NFs for me. Yet, as is often the case with folk coming back to take a second bite of the cherry, the sophomore effort comes short of the first – “Az én apám” is lovely, touching, but lacks the bite and edge that “Origo” had. I might have JP come second and hopefully return for a second victory in 2020/1 with something a bit stronger, and send in his place the soaring but melancholic “Madár, repülj”.

Belarus: Life is too short to do some things, and whilst I try to listen to pretty much every national final song, one of the things life is too short for is intensively following the Belarusian national finals with their hundred-odd auditions. I saw a few, though, and they were a rum lot. Musically, Aura’s touching “Čaravala” was probably the best of those I heard – but was also strangely won over by the unpretentious, fun ode to tubers that was “Potato, aka Buľba��� and depending on my mood, I might give it the nod either.

Serbia: Beovizija had a great lineüp yet again, and there were a number of songs I would have been happy to have gotten the win, including the eventual winner, but also those of Saška Janks, Extra Nena and Ivana Vladović. The latter’s beautiful “Moja bol”, with strings to die for, was my favourite on the night, but in retrospect, I’m not sure I’d replace the equally stunning “Kruna.” I’d be tempted to send it in its acoustic version though, where Nevena’s lovely voice stands out even better.

Belgium: Ô, Belgium. I adored “City Lights”, and so my expectations were really high. This is nice enough, but a bit beige, and doesn’t quite deliver, especially the way the enjoyably tense verses lead to an anticlimactically limp chorus. I’d change that with something that actually feels like a pay off to the verses and the Walloons would have a better shot of shining again.

Georgia: I have to say that, once again, I find myself being one of the few people I know who has some love for Georgia. Whilst it wasn’t truly my cup of tea, I appreciated and enjoyed Iriao’s song last year on some level, and the same is true of Oto’s – he has a powerful voice and it’s a strong, if rather unsettling song. I think, though, that I prefer the darkly ethereal Sevdisperi zgva, which sounds like what I imagine would result if Björk were tasked to write a Bond tune.

Australia: After a few years of rumours, Oz finally jumped on the national final train, and, credit where it is due, it was one of the most intriguing national finals of the year. It was as if SBS had decided to atone for its aggressively MOR pop picks of previous years by actually showcasing some musical diversity. Unlike a lot of folk, I don’t dislike “Zero gravity” – it has a meaningful lyrical background and some quirky charm. But there’s no question about whether I would replace it and with what. I still get chills every time I listen to “2000 and Whatever” – the sheer, irrepressible burst of positive energy and the power of its “kulila miranyi” still give me goosebumps. Damn straight one of the best song of the entire year.

Iceland: Given the amount of hype Hatari have received – and how fans flooded videos of its competitors with comments about how they shouldn’t “fuck up” by picking them instead – I may be one of the very few who would change the result there. Yet, I almost definitely would, even though I typically like lesser-heard genres at Eurovision and like the heavier, industrial musical style. And yet, I find this quite trying. It seems like a very knowing, art school student pastiche and I’m not here for their “above the contest” feel or the BDSM gimmickry. I’d be tempted to replace this with the low-key but lovely “Hvað ef ég get ekki elskað”, or to at least pare back the OTT disdainful irony.

Estonia: It feels almost like another era when I was a firm exponent of the idea of Eesti being Beesti. Three years of immense disappointments will quench that type of fire. Whilst leaving behind the stunning Spirit Animal in 2017 and opting for a generic poperatic vocal exercise in 2018 were excruciating, this might be the biggest let down yet – a land of so many talented musicians having to rely on an Avicii pastiche sang with no small difficulty by a reedy-voiced Swede. I found Eesti Laul very slim pickings this year, and found the other two frontrunners to be rather bland too – even the delightful Sandra Nurmsalu came with a tune that, whilst pleasant, sounded less nomadic epic and more toilet tissue commercial backing track. I would have gone for Kadiah’s delicate “Believe” as my pick instead.

Portugal: FdC was once again one of the best national finals, and the one for whose result I was perhaps most anxious. There were a few songs I really liked, like “Pugna”, “Mais brilhante...” and “Inércia”, but when the dust settled, there was only one song I wanted to see winning – “Telemóveis,” of course, which I was delighted to see prevail. I have some real worries about the bizarre staging distracting from the message and emotional power of the song, though. There’s so much going on, and it might be enough to push people from being entranced to being weirded out. I’d get rid of the spoons, sort out the clothes and try to make things impressive without being so extra.

Greece: I actually really like Greece this year, even if I’m still pissed off at what they did to “Don’t forget the sun” in their dubiously axed national final last year. Her voice is beautiful, the music is uplifting and anthemic, the æsthetic is curious and a bit culty, but at least memorable. The one thing I don’t like? The lyrics, which sound like a bunch of motivational Instagram quote clichés loosely knitted together. Sing something actually meaningful, preferably in Greek.

San Marino: Lord, I’m not going to start because if I do, I shan’t stop. All I’ll say is that San Marino’s “troll nation” status is wearing thin for me. Unbelievably, hundreds of talented people came out in numbers last year willing to represent them, and yet they went with a song written supposedly in 5 minutes but probably in half that. I’d have invited Sara de Blue back instead to make up for the bizarre fiasco that was last year’s 1in360. And the automatic qualifiers:

France: If France’s national delegation aren’t rethinking their voting system after this year, then they ought to be. It’s the opposite of Sweden, where the juries really have the power and the televote is scattered – all you need is a frenzied following to overturn a low jury placement. I liked a great number of Destination Eurovision’s selection this year. I would have taken pretty much ány single one of them over the snivelling, bombastic, self-aggrandising drivel that is Roi. With regards to what to send in its place, I’m torn between the powerful “Là haut”; the adorably, quintessentially French “Allez leur dire”; or the energetic, indefatigable earworm that was “On cherche encore”.

Israel: Boy howdy, Israel sure want to do their level best to avoid fluking a 1979 and winning on home ground, eh? I heard there were many big names who sent songs in, though I’m unsure if any of them would have helped to make the stormy Kobi seem more sympathetic. I think I would have opted to let Ketreyah perform for the hosts instead.

Spain: After a great national final last year, I was really disappointed with the subpar quality of the so-called eurotemazos which were anything but. Miki’s song was the best of a bad lot and at least he didn’t have the hideously negative attitude some of the other people, who seemed surprised and aghast that the winner of a contest related to Eurovision could end up performing there. I’d try to give Miki a song that matched his energy with at least a bit more lyrical depth.

Join me in some days when I evaluate what I would change with SF2!

@cindertilla asked: Hello love, may i ask for a matchup for voltron and haikyuu please?♡ I'm a straight female. 5’2,cancer ☾, calmer enfp,enneagram 9.Ravenclaw. I have long black hair w bangs, golden olive skintone and kind mysterious brown eyes. I dress mostly in the colors of the moon, black, grey, white and navy blue. I dress like a vintage school girl. My hair is often tied up in a high ponytail or has a bow in it. I come off as a person who is friendly and conscientious, but that is just being polite. I struggle a lot with overthinking and being too trusting. im easily impressed and fascinated by people and the worlds wonders. I have way too many hobbies, but I find space, science, history and art very interesting/fun. Ambivert, social battery drains like wild fire if im at a party or something. I enjoy quality time with my close friends, drawing, documentaries and true crime. Nature is like peace to me, and I like to walk. I’m uncomfortable with my own emotions, and I feel a lot. I’m good at taking care of others, but not myself. very hard on myself. People pleaser.i love to laugh.I tend to daydream. Although I am kind, and a “good girl”, I like to come up with a snarky comment every now and then bc ppl can be annoying. I have a thirst for adventure, but a bit too worrisome about the consequences. I enjoy the small things in life. I feel most like myself at night. I could stargaze forever, sleep just to dream again and watch the grey clouds in awe. I feel in tune to the moon and ocean and I ask too deep questions around the wrong ppl. Im understanding but probably a bit passive aggressive(water sign yikes..). I could discuss for hours. When it comes to love im shy and oblivious. I have so much too give. I’m low key affectionate(affectionate with loved ones and my cat) and romantic. I NEED mental and emotional stimulation in a partner to feel safe. Generally positive but a bit stressed I guess. I really like Alan walker’s music??.Im very protective and too selfless for my own good..ugh.Anyways,Thank you so much ☾  

-If you enjoyed this work, please consider buying me a coffee.

I match you with: 

Lance from Voltron

He really loves your sense of style! The colors of the Moon? Heck yeah! Wants to see all of the outfits, is totally your number one hype man when it comes to you trying new looks with your style and he’ll even point some stuff out when he’s out shopping with you. 

Even though Lance enjoys parties and being the life of them (according to him or course), he does make sure to keep an eye on you during them. He knows about your low social battery and doesn’t want to keep you there any longer than needed. Once he sees you slowly loosing steam, he’ll say his goodbyes and you both will leave together for a much needed recharge session. Lance is great at giving affection. If you’re okay with PDA, he’ll be holding your hand when out and about, kissing the top of your hand and giving you compliments upon compliments.

Lance also enjoys showing you affection when alone as well. Holding you and cuddling you, always having his hands on you in some shape or form. The thing he enjoys doing the most is skimming his hands up and down your sides, even tickling you a bit just to see you shiver and laugh at the sensation. He adores hearing that laugh of yours. 

Thanks to his upbringing, he’ll be there to take care of you when you need it. He knows that you don’t really take care of yourself and always focusing on others well being instead of your own. Lance will make sure that you’re getting enough sleep, eating enough and making sure your mental state is good. You’re his partner and he’ll be damned if your well being and care is left behind. His favorite thing to do is cook for you. Your favorite meal, snack, sweet, whatever you want. He’d also like to cook with you as a simple date, just the two of you in the kitchen going step by step through a recipe and just enjoying each others time and presence. 

He has a chill and laid back attitude and thanks to that, he assists you when he knows you’re overthinking. He’ll make sure that you relax and he’ll even help you come up with a solution if you’re struggling. He hates to see you overthink and if there’s any way he can help you get over that situation, he’s on it!

Daichi Sawamura from Haikyuu!

Sawamura adores your style. His personal favorite touch are your ponytails you wear along with the bows you accessorize with. Loves to buy you various bows of style and design. He tries to match them to the outfits he knows you have or even things he knows that interest you in hopes of seeing you adorn it with a future outfit. 

Likes to do your hobbies with you. He encourages you to tell him about all of your hobbies, they’re a part of you and he wants to know everything about you and what you enjoy. Will even suggest that you both do a hobby of yours as a cute date idea. If it’s something he isn’t familiar with, please explain it to him, he’s such a wonderful listener and he’s all ears and smiles as he listens to you explain something that you really enjoy. Sawamura will center your guys’ dates around your known interests, taking you to art and history museums and will totally ask questions about certain pieces and history periods that you’re fascinated with. 

Enjoys the flare you have with your snarky comments because he does the same too. He can only handle people for so long before they start annoying him to no end. You both laugh and make snarky comments about those who annoy you just to blow off steam and it does help! He’ll make you feel so safe, always making sure you’re okay, having everything you need and more because that’s just him and most importantly making sure you’re mentally and emotionally where you need to be and if you’re not, please let this man help, he’ll do anything to make sure you’re okay.

Does tease you a bit when it comes to your shy and oblivious side when it come to love. He’ll make some flirty comments in public to make you shy or flustered and show PDA by holding your hand, kissing your cheeks, forehead, even your lips if he’s feeling like making you a clustered ball of nerves. He’ll apologize about it later, but he can’t help it, you look so adorable like that. 

Sawamura gets stressed too... a lot which makes him the best when it comes to remedies to help with unwinding and not being so stressed out. Will do face masks with you, essential oils, breathing techniques, anything to help you unwind and feel relaxed again. He’s here to make sure that you’re smiling and happy with him as long as you’ll have him.

The Wages of Sin: Helios

They say old sins cast long shadows.

My shadow must go on for miles.

Last | Next | List 

Can you recall what it’s like to walk into sunshine?

You don’t know real warmth until you’re basking in that golden light. 

It’s something so simple, but it can be so overwhelming. I feel like everything washes away in the sun. For a moment - just a fleeting moment - I’m free. 

That exact feeling is what it was like to walk into V’s gallery. 

There was something about his angle choice, the way the light played over his pieces, and the vibrancy of colors...his photographs practically glowed. I wasn’t expecting it. It caught me completely off guard and reached deep inside of me without warning. 

I found myself particularly drawn to a photograph of a flower basking in the sun at dawn, the pink colors playing across the clouds as the sun rose in the sky. The flower looked like it was blooming, opening its face to the sun. It was absolutely breathtaking. 

When I left that day, I actually missed the artwork. The photographs were like windows to another world. They took me away from everything, everything. I could swear I dreamed of that pink sky, the sun rising off in the distance, the field below spotted with those lovely flowers. I was a bird, flying free in the air, feeling the wind caress me. It was the most peaceful dream I’ve ever had.

So, of course, I had to return to that place, return to the gorgeous photo of the flower.

I stand in front of it once more, feeling it pull me into another world again.

“Beautiful,” I murmur to myself, eyes scanning the photo with admiration. I feel like I am standing in a meadow, the grass brushing my skin. All at once, I am up in the clouds, basking in sunlight...time itself seems to melt at my feet.

I feel like I’m actually floating away right now...

I am so mesmerized by the art that I don’t quite notice the quiet man standing next to it, watching me. He says something to me, and that strange trance I’m in breaks. I stare at him, dazed. “What?”

“Do you like it?” he repeats, beautiful blue eyes patiently waiting for my response.

“Oh,” I breathe, lost in the depths of those eyes. “I...yes. I love it.” 

I feel drawn to him, just like I was drawn to his photographs. Something in his eyes tells me he feels it too. Don’t they? He smiles, and I feel my heart jump. “Excuse me, but...who are you?” I ask, utterly mesmerized.

“I’m the one who took this photo,” he replies, gesturing towards the sunset photograph. 

“Oh...th-then you must be V, the photographer!” I stutter. Duh. He said he took the photo.

He smiles gently at me, but I feel myself panicking internally. Outwardly, though, I give a sweet smile in return, masking my emotions well.

He probably thinks I’m ditzy. I’m such an idiot. 

“You’ve been standing here for almost an hour, so I came to say hello,” he explains, tilting his head at me. “Didn’t you come here yesterday, too?”

He noticed?

I blush. I hadn’t even noticed him in the gallery yesterday. I was too busy losing myself in his world.

“Y-yes...the photo was so beautiful, I just had to come for another look.” I smile nervously, biting my lip. “I’m a huge fan of your work.”

His smile was genuinely happy. “Thank you. Please, continue enjoying it.”

He moves to walk away, but I call out, “Wait! I had something to ask you!”

He pauses, turning back to me with an inquisitive look. 

“The sun is the mother of all things,” I say hastily, rubbing my arm. “Without her energy and love, the flower wouldn’t have come to life. And...I feel that love and warmth consistently throughout your photos. When I stare at them, I feel all my troubles vanish...! It feels like another world...”

He stares at me. You’re being weird. Stop it, I think, but still, I continue. 

“Do you believe that world could ever come?” I ask hopefully. “A world where there is no fear or suffering, a world filled with love and warmth, the world in your photographs? Do you think that we can become like the sun some day? Is that what you’re thinking when you take these photos?”

That had to be it. I felt him calling to me through the photographs. Certainly he must have known the affect he would have!

“...No,” he finally admits, chuckling. My heart drops. Oh my god...I just tried to tell him what his own photos meant! I’m useless...

“I’m not that thoughtful,” he muses, smiling in admiration. “I don’t really think much when I take the photos. I just sense something special about the shot. It’s a feeling that comes through me, and then I know.”

“Like the breeze on an Aeolian harp,” I comment, intrigued. He laughs a sweet, hearty laugh, and I can’t help but smile. “Sure,” he chuckles, shifting on his feet. He doesn’t know what that is. That’s okay. He’s still perfect...

“But,” he adds, “When I take them, I do hope...that people can feel love when looking at them. People like you.”

My eyes widen with wonder. “You are phenomenal, V, just by the fact that you can take photos that have that affect on people.”

He smiles warmly. “Thank you. You really speak your mind, don’t you?”

“What else should I speak?” I ask, grinning cheekily. That earned another chuckle. 

“Well, thank you, for all the kind words,” he says. “Do you want the photograph?”

“Ah, well, I already know I don’t have enough money to purchase it,” I say quickly, glancing back at the flower. “It’s priceless. You could charge whatever you wanted for it. I’m sure it would sell.”

He shakes his head and clarifies, “I want to give it to you as a gift.” 

“What?” I stare at him, shocked, bringing my hand up to my mouth. No way. There’s no way I can repay this. Could I really own this photo?

“Tell the receptionist your address, name, and phone number,” he instructs.

“No, I...I can’t accept such an expensive piece!” I insist, holding up my hands. “It’s worth more than anything I could give you.”

He shakes his head again, stating, “Don’t refuse. If you feel love when you look at the photo, then you must be the true owner.”

“I can’t. I don’t like receiving things for free.” I don’t deserve things for free. I’m the last person who deserves this photo. 

A spark lights in his eyes. “Well, how about this? I’ll give you this photograph on the condition that you buy me coffee after the exhibition.”

“W-what?!” I squeak, blushing again. Is that a date? That sounds like a date! I don’t understand...

“Your thoughts left a good impression on me. I’d like to pick your brain more about how my art makes you feel, what your philosophy on life is.” He sounds serious, but I can’t believe it. “Can I ask what your name is?” he adds.

“It’s...Rika,” I stutter, feeling dazed again. “Is that your real name?” he asks. Startled, I shake my head. “No...” “Well, I’ll tell you my real name first. It’s Jihyun Kim, but I go by V to most people.”

“Ah. It’s...nice to meet you, Jihyun,” I assent, shaking his hand. “You really don’t have to do this, though I appreciate the sentiment.”

“I want to do it,” he replied, eyes locked onto mine. My heart flutters in my chest. There was no amount of protest that could change his mind after that.

“Won’t you ever tell me what happened?” Jihyun asks softly. His arms are wrapped around mine as we embrace. 

“I don’t know,” I admit, face buried in his chest. He smells sweet, clean.  

“You don’t have to. But I want to understand you. To understand your pain. I want to help you.”

“No,” I say grimly. “You don’t.”

You’ll see.

“I do,” he insists, gently caressing my back. 

In the end.

“You don’t want to know. I wish I didn’t know.” I’m stiff now, trying to hold down the thoughts rising in my head.

He kisses me gently on the forehead and I feel myself melt into his arms. The voices fade away. It was hard to deny him like this.

“I would take all that pain onto myself if I could,” he murmurs, lips brushing my hair. I pull back and look up at him, pain twisting my face. My small hands reach up to caress his soft cheeks. 

“I’m afraid it will ruin you,” I whisper, eyes tearing up. I stroke my thumb across his cheekbone, examining the sharp features I’ve come to love so deeply. “You are so, so good. You believe still in the good in this world. You don’t know how bad it can get. I don’t ever want you to.”

I squeeze my eyes shut, feeling hot tears trail down my cheeks. “I’m going to ruin you. I know it. I’m so terrified.”

I feel his warm hands reach up to cup my face. Slowly, I open my eyes and meet his gaze, his face inches from mine. “You complete me,” he murmurs. “You will not ruin me. Without you, I will never be the same.” 

He will regret it. 

“I’m sorry,” I whimper, sniffling. “I’m so sorry.”

“No, love,” he sighs, pressing his forehead against mine. “Don’t be sorry. Be glad. You make me happy.”

“Do I?” I gasp, feeling my body shudder with sadness. That fucking overwhelming pit of sadness. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” he whispers sweetly. He leans in and kisses me. His lips are soft and gentle, and I feel fire course through my veins. It feels like it burns away that bitter sadness, even if for a moment. 

He is the sun in the sky, the warm sunlight on my dark, shady days. 

“Don’t leave me,” I beg, hugging him. “Please don’t ever leave me.”

“I promise I will never,” he responds, closing his eyes as we embrace again. 

“...I’ll tell you one day,” I decide out loud, breathing in his scent. “But for now...let’s go to bed. I’m tired.”

“Of course,” he agrees, smiling sweetly. 

Wrapped up in sheets, his arms around me protectively as we spoon in bed, I stare out of the window into the city street below. 

It will consume both me and him. 

“Shut up,” I whisper to myself, stuffing my face into my pillow. 

How long could I keep this up?

I couldn’t let anything hurt him. I had to protect him.

From myself.
