Do you think that terfs will calm down with hating on trans women once womb transplants are a thing? Because their whole argument is that "trans women aren't women because no womb uwu"
No, because that frankly isn't their whole argument. They don't argue against trans women solely because "no womb," and if womb transplants were a viable and safe measure, that would absolutely not be a good argument to calm their grievances - a transphobe doesn't deal in a genuine care for others, it a disgust response.
Transphobes already have issues with trans women getting FFS, vaginas, and hell, they even have issues with trans women being fem (or masc), even if they say, "we're okay with gender nonconformity!" as a cover. Because, again, it is a disgust response that blooms in response to their own transohobia, it isn't about being able to debate them, really.
Additionally, with my experience of dealing with that kind of extreme reactionary transphobe, they don't fucking care if they're wrong. Like, do you know how many times I've talked to a TERF who tells me I only transition because of misogyny, only to then talk in circles once I say, "misogyny against me had only increased since I have transitioned to male, plus, I never faced misogyny before I transitioned," because again, it isn't about the trans people themselves per se, it's about this viseral disgust response. It is them trying to reason with their discomfort with hatred. That isn't going to go away when trans care expands or becomes even more advanced.
I really want to stress how important it is to not whittle their whole argument down to "[trans women*] don't have wombs," because you will end up missing a lot of trans people who are affected by this type of extreme reactionary transphobia.
#ask#anon#transphobia#transphobia tw#terf tw#terf mention tw#like... hatred toward trans women has existed for a *long* time not at the fault of trans women either mind you...#...but because of that... a surgery alone will not change the hearts of a person already stewing in their hatred of trans people#and frankly... i wouldn't care about changing their minds really because at some point there is only so much you can do#but like... i have had terfs wish death and assault on me for being a trans guy and it's like...#...surely if their WHOLE grievance about trans people were 'no womb' that wouldn't be a thing right?#and what about intersex trans women who may well HAVE a womb? do they get treated well by them?#no because intersexness AND trans people are something abhorred in spaces like that#so it's in our best interest to defend and include as many of us as we possibly can#i'm not angry at anon btw u guess i'm kind of... intrigued at how the reasoning works#this rant is more general which is why it is in the tags.#if i posted a fraction of some of the anons i've gotten lol....

me: finally accepting theres a good chance im autistic and starting to work up the courage to ask my parents to see if i could get a diagnoses but being scared to
my mom: do you ever think you have adhd? if you want to do a screening for add next time your at the doctors you can
me:
#for context im terrified of being the person who sees stuff online and diagnosis themselves and then is wrong#which is why it took me so long to accept im âprobablyâ autistic (bc now i have done research and stuff for it)#and id see adhd things that were relatable but i felt i related more to the autism + self diagnosing both felt weird (for me not in general#but now like. my mom is willing to accept i might have add??#(there was a long talk in between her asking if i ever thought i had it and her saying i could get a screening where we both agreed that#âif i did have itâ i didnt have the hyperactive part. hence the add vs adhd thing)#and now that kinda through off my plans because like. what if i do also had adhd. or something#so yeah small crisis woo#i need to actually look i to symptoms and stuff for adhd though#because im not saying anything til i know more about it and if i actually do have a lot of the things#but this also gives me a chance go write about the autism things as well bc i told my mom i would look into the adhd#so now i can hopefully find a way to bring that up#ive mentioned that autism is a spectrum recently which i didnt think she knew before#so progress i guess#wow long rant in the tags whoops#jasperâs posts#moots have some jaz lore i guess

so there's a reason my new job got back to me so quickly about my application and that's bc it's an absolute fucking shambles like actually perfect timing for me to decide to rewatch the bear bc i have never more felt like ive been thrown into a broke on-its-knees establishment trying to crawl its way up the ladder where i am somehow a godsend to them. my old job was crazy and shambolic in the sense that the industry is just Like That but this one?????? insanity. every 5 mins i am questioning what im doing with my life. ive already had a walk-in fridge moment
#so i explained before that there's 3 venues and on my very first shift they had me doing the restaurant venue for 2 hours#which was FINE like i was a bit cautious bc my manager is VERY stressed all the time and the place generally feels like it's falling apart#not the building itself just. the way it's run like it's just got new owners and the previous manager apparently#EMPTIED THE TILLS AND TRASHED THE PLACE like cost them THOUSANDS of pounds and on top of that#there was beef with the head chef and the new owners that meant he left and took the ENTIRE BACK OF HOUSE WITH HIM#THERE ARE NO KITCHEN STAFF ATM. I HAVE TO LIE AND TELL CUSTOMERS WE DONT HAVE FOOD ATM BC OF 'REFURBISHMENT'#WHEN IN ACTUALITY THE /RESTAURANT/ DOESNT HAVE CHEFS. DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY THAT IS#and then the front of house staff are very lacking aside maybe 2 people we're ALL NEW and all of them EXCEPT ME#LIKE LITERALLY JUST ME IM THE ONLY EXCEPTION. ALL OF THEM ARE UNTRAINED#so when i applied with bar training coffee training and very solid waitressing skills they genuinely treated me like a saviour#like i am FENDING off shifts tbh im in a v good position bc they need me too much to get shitty w me if i refuse hours but i can literally#have as many as i want bc they will just give me them. like they're obsessed w me im rota'd for over 60 hours this week#but anyway that very first shift after 2 hours in the restaurant i then walked to the mini golf venue on the OTHER SIDE OF TOWN#and my manager stayed for 30 MINUTES. IF THAT. and showed me around the place + how to close THEN LEFT ME THERE#FIRST DAY HE GAVE ME THE KEYS AND LEFT ME TO RUN AN ENTIRE VENUE. IT'S NOT SMALL EITHER IT'S A WHOLE BAR#AND I HAD TO CLOSE ON MY OWN TOO and ironically the shift itself went rlly well like it was so chill#it was kinda boring but honestly i kinda rated it it's v easy money and the close went perfectly nothing cropped up that i was unsure about#and then. AND THEN. i havent even ranted to my mutuals about this yet bc i was acc so horrified by it but i locked the front doors#and went to lock the gate AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE LOCK. WOULD NOT COME OUT. HELLA VS KEYS ROUND 3927593#my mum even showed up and tried to help me wrestle this thing out i called my manager and he literally told me to just snap it#bc he'd rather a snapped key that NO ONE could get out than just leave it there overnight but bc of my recent house key moment#i was like AM I FUCK SNAPPING THIS KEY. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING. so i had to just leave it and at the time#i was realllyyyyyyyyyy beating myself up but my manager is actually rlly nice he's just stretched v thin#and ive also had time to be like uhh actually they shouldnt have left a random 21 y/o girl alone with the keys on her first day#omg i havent even talked about what happened on saturday. ACTUAL SHAMBLES#LIKE THIS /\/\ ISNT EVEN CLOSE TO EVERYTHING! IM RUNNING OUT OF TAG ROOM! IM GONNA REBLOG THIS TONIGHT W MORE PROBABLY!#BC GUESS WHO IS WORKING A CLOSE LATER AT THE NIGHTCLUB THEN OPENING THE RESTAURANT AT 8AM. GUESS#hella slaves to capitalism

Just saw a bunch of atrocious wonder woman takes and I hate everything
Someone google nearest bridge to jump off of im so done w this
#people dont fucking understand the warrior culture thing and it pisses me off so much#wonder woman does no glorify violence. she does not aspire to combat or violence. peace and respect are the bedrock of amazon philosophy#the amazons are warriors for DEFENSE. specifically in that they are the reincarnated souls of victims of gender violence. who were brought#back as warriors to defend other women in the ancient world from gender violence. violence they were AGAIN subjected to when they were#captured and assaulted by heracles and his men. then the themyscirans split from the rest of the amazons bc they dont want to answer this#violence with more violence. and then they listen to the call of the gods who bring them to themyscira#and ok this part is pretty victim blamey and awful in terms of their whole assault generally but anyways on themyscira they are specifically#tasked with protecting dooms doorway and keeping the monsters there locked up. they stayed warriors to defend people#like it is ALWAYS about finding peace and doing the least harm possible. do not maim if you can subdue dont subdue if you can pacify dont#raise your hand at all until youve first extended it ET CETERA (probly mangled the quote there but you get it)#like she will always take the most peaceful option and the one that does harm. BUT if she is left with a choice between her doing harm to a#villain and the villain harming someone shell fuck whoever up. and if theres really NO other way she will kill a bitch. no regrets either#wonder woman didnt even intent to be a superhero!!! at her core shes literally an AMBASSADOR it just so happens that her culture sees#defending others from harm as a duty. so in doing that she is doing her job as an ambassador and themysciran and ofc a person#but SHE IS NOT VIOLENT. she only uses violence in the last resort to prevent violence. for defense. this is something she does bc she thinks#its right but its also an aspect of her job. which is living by themysciran culture and increasing understanding of it in mans world#shes a diplomat for christssake đ#anyways ppl stop misinterpreting wondy and saying stupid shit abt her challenge#istg its like most people think shes like the 90s bana mighdall or artemis or something aka HER NARRATIVE FOILS like guys. please be serious#rant over i guess. why do i always do these in the tags ugh#blah#gonna make these tags a new post gimme a sec

SRW is such a funny thing for me to think about cause itâs like âwow a trpg game thatâs been ongoing for decades that really encapsulates how huge and significant mecha is to japan by having every and all mecha been featured in this giant crossover that also has really cool attack animations that replicate the shows theyâre from well, with new original content for some shows sprinkled in as wellâ at first glance then I proceed to be salty by going âoh wait the main show I like in here is only ever used for one iteration which they end up butchering and all the other mechas Iâve liked have shown up maybe once because Iâve liked the ones that had to flop in Japan- also this game caused tags to be unnecessarily filled with crossovers and people acting like they know a series just because it was in SRW thanks I hate itâ and this cycle is only a constant because I havenât actually played a SRW besides 30s demo for a bit đ
#meg text#mecha rambles#super robot wars#SRW#I could never hate SRW just because it doesnât give me what I want-thatâs petty-and overall Iâm sure itâs a fun time#but man does it suck to remember how getter is one of the big 3 but SRW fumbles using it despite the potential#I think itâs stupid to hate arma for SRW or merch but itâs absolutely overstayed itâs welcome SRW wise#because they arenât even doing anything interesting with it which is PAINFUL because GO TEAM IS RIGHT THERE#you are sleeping on the potential of go team actually interacting with senior team more#because that is armas probably biggest missed opportunity especially regarding Kei#but letâs just pretend go team hardly is significant even though their MORE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS#(this in general will always bother the SHIT out of me with how arma is marketed even if I sadly know why)#âfirst protag is more remembered/likedâ which is a constant pain in my side đ#I feel like Iâve ranted about this tags before and getter wasnât even why I made this post but whatever#the real reason I made this was because my big o brain rot got me like âwow this could be so cool to see in SRW againâ#only to remember it flopped in Japan so they donât want to use it#same deal as to why shin Jeeg never gets fucking used#I should at the very least be happy these two are at least owned by companies who do a lot of mecha stuff#so getting them in if they did isnât a jumping through hoops risk#but at the same time âman if I ever wanna a crossover with these Iâd have to write it myselfâ#âand I donât wanna do that because all the tags already have too many SRW crossoversâ#(I say as I have a idea I might do but shhhhhhhhhh)#maybe one day big o and Jeeg will come back but I doubt theyâll interact with getter because theyâre completely different#despite their being SHARED aspects that someone else could totally like all 3 for that same reason

idk man i just think maybe huntsmans death could've meant something but instead it was barely touched upon and acknowledged because in the end the spiderlings didn't matter. all that mattered was LBD and Spider queen.
#text#monkie kid#like theres a way to make huntsman dying satisfying and feeling like a fulfilled arc but they didnt do that because huntsman never mattered#which is why i may ask did they made us care about him in the first place?#like they could've done the episode in a way that didn't make huntsman feel like he was starting an arc.#if they really just wanted to focus on sandy development then they didn't have to add the tea bag scene in the end of the episode#but they did#and that my friends is why huntsmans death is so disappointing#because they baited us with potential then were like 'oh wait oops we dont have time for that actually lol nvm'#ok done talking abt it now it's just been a little nugget in the back of my mind for so long#also i didnt tag either of these posts as rant because idk if they exactly fit#they r more just general disappointment then me ranting in anger :P

With your Iâll be there for you series would you be interested in writing about Steve discovering that he has feelings for reader? I think it would be sweet for him to just find even the silliest things she does cute and then him having a little melt down because he realised heâs liked her along. The series is such a great idea! đ
đđđđđ đđđ đđđđ đđđđđđđđ
"i'll be there for you" universe masterlist
pairing: bestfriend!roommate!steve harrington x fem!reader
word count: 4.4k words
warnings: explicit language, alcohol consumption, drunk!steve, mentions of steve's dad being shitty, angst
summary: in which steveâs drunk and you donât hesitate to cancel a date to take care of him
author's note:Â thanks for the request! probably from the moment i started this series/universe i knew that i wanted to have steve realize his feelings first so this request was quite literally perfect for that lol. this is slightly âwhile you were sleepingâ by laufey inspired hence the title. the slow burn is finally starting to come to an end !! (iâm both happy and sad about that lmao) anyways enjoy<3333
general note: everything in this universe/series can be read as standalone oneshots but to understand the full âloreâ it would prob be best to read the other stuff too<333

Winter 1986
You were in the middle of debating between a black skirt and a brown plaid one that Robin convinced you to buy when you two went thrifting just a few days ago when the phone rang.
Leaving both options on your bed, you went to the kitchen to answer it, bottomless aside from the stockings you had already put on because of the cold late February weather.Â
âHello?âÂ
âHello?â
âSteve?â You recognized his voice for the most part, but he sounded a little different. A little far away, like he was calling from the oldest phone in the universe.
âOh, hey.â The way he said the simple two words both confused and amused you because it sounded as if he didnât expect you to be the person on the other end of the line.Â
You laughed a bit. ���âOh, heyâ? Donât sound so disappointed. You called me.â
âI know. Sorry. I meant to call Eddie,â He said, and it was then that you heard what shouldâve been obvious from the moment he said âHelloâ to youâ the way his words werenât necessarily slurry, just slower than usual.Â
He was drunk, and you now recognized the voice that you had become so used to hearing since Steveâs sixteenth birthday when he snuck his dadâs whiskey and you both only had two shots of it before feeling it fully.Â
âWhy would you call him? Arenât you two together right now?â You asked, your confusion taking precedence over the amusement you felt in this moment.Â
Earlier that day, before you left the apartment to head to your twelve oâclock class, he told you that he was going to tag along with Robin, Vickie, and Eddie to some art show thing after his shift that night at Family Video; you wouldâve gone too if you didnât already have plans for the night.Â
âAlso, I didnât know that you could get drunk at an art show,â You added. âIâll definitely make sure to go next time.âÂ
âI didnât go with them,â He told you, and before you could ask where he was, he answered the unspoken question. âIâm actually at a bar right now.âÂ
Your eyebrows furrowed. âWhat? Why?âÂ
âVery long story. Dad shit. What else is new, right?â Steve answered with a breath of a laugh.Â
He made his words sound lighthearted and as if whatever happened didnât really affect him, but you, of course, didnât see it that way. Without even being with Steve right then, standing in front of him and reading his facial expressions, you still saw through what he was trying to play off as âno big deal.â Youâd known him more than long enough to know that anything involving his dad was usually always serious. And whatever shitty things his dad said to him this time around drove Steve to a bar rather than back here to the apartment to frustratingly rant to you, and that only worried you.Â
âWhich bar are you at?â You asked softly.Â
âThe only place in town, other than The Hideout, that doesnât card,â He said and then immediately continued. âBut, wait, donât come here, though. I donât want you to come get me. Thatâs why I was trying to call Eddie. I know you have your date tonight.â
Just for a secondâ actually, probably the entire time youâd been talking to Steveâ youâd forgotten about the date, forgotten about the reason why youâd just been debating which skirt to wear, forgotten about what you were supposed to leave for in twenty minutes. And that slightly surprised you because, for the last couple of days, youâd been really excited about it.Â
Meeting Jamie felt like a sort of âmeet cuteâ moment that was straight out of a romcom, one that you probably wouldâve laughed at because of how cheesy it was. You bumped into him in the hallway on the floor of your apartment. He was your neighborâs, Miss Johnsonâs, nephew, and you learned that even though he went to a college about an hour away, he was trying to visit her more often. He had been in the middle of leaving when you saw him, and you gave a friendly wave and smile at first and he started a conversation with you. You two then spent an hour talking in the hallway before you headed inside your apartment to start studying for a test and he asked for your number, which led to more long conversations over the next few days until he asked you on a date.Â
In a way, it startled you how giddy you found yourself feeling about him after only those few days, how easily and quickly you liked him. It was the first crush that you had in a while that didnât feel completely hopeless.Â
But now all of that was the last thing on your mind. It quickly became pushed to the side because you knew that your best friend needed you.
You shook your head in this moment even though Steve couldnât see you. âNo, itâs okay, Iâll come.âÂ
âNo, donât, donât. Iâll just call Eddie.â
Heâs probably not home right now, was what you wanted to tell Steve, but you refrained from doing so at that moment. Instead, you said, âIâll call him for you.â
The drunken sigh in relief Steve let out was immediate. âOkay, thanks, I donât think I have any more change for this payphone, anyway.â
âOkay, just stay put and stop drinking.â
âThe bartender already cut me off.â
âGood,â You said before saying a final goodbye to him and hanging up.Â
You then picked the phone up again to dial a different number. You, of course, didnât attempt to call Eddie and you instead called Jamie. He was completely understanding when you told him that you had to cancel the date because of an emergency, and he said that you two could do the dinner and movie on a different night, which you quickly agreed on.Â
You put on the brown plaid skirtâ quickly deciding that it looked better with the white top you were wearing, anywayâ before slipping on a pair of shoes and grabbing your coat, shoving your car keys and wallet into the pockets, and then leaving the apartment.Â
.ăťă.ăťăâăť.ăťâŤăťăăťă. .ăťă.ăťăâăť.ăťâŤăťăăťă.
The drive to Websterâs took less than fifteen minutes and the current emptiness of it didnât surprise you that much. From the handful of times that youâd gone to the place with Steve, Eddie, and Robin, it became a known fact that things didnât become âlivelyâ until after ten, and it was currently only a little after nine.Â
You spotted Steve sitting on a stool at the counter, head down in his folded arms. You sat in the empty seat next to him and tapped the side of his shoulder until he sat up and looked at you.Â
âGlad to know youâre alive, Harrington.âÂ
He smiled at you and you gave him a small smile back, he must have forgotten that heâd told you not to come to the bar.Â
âI feel barely alive, actually.â
âStill counts.âÂ
Steve only looked at you for a moment, taking notice of what you were wearing beneath your unzipped coat.Â
âYou look nice,â He said and then seemed to realize something and his smile dropped. âWait, shit, your date. You shouldnât be here right now.â
âItâs fine. Weâre just gonna reschedule it.âÂ
âIâm sorry.â
You shook your head at him. âNo, donât be. Itâs just a first date, anyway. Your drunk ass needing a ride home is obviously more important than that.âÂ
Steve laughed a bit. âI guess Iâll take that as a compliment?âÂ
âYes, you should,â You told him and then watched with furrowed brows as he went to grab the short glass that was in front of him, half full of some dark liquor. He was about to finish what was left in the glass, but you grabbed it from him before he could. âSteve.â
âI still had this from before I called you. I canât finish it?â
âNo, because if you end up throwing up in my car on the drive home, I will have to murder you.â
You looked away from him before he could say anything in response to that and waved at Barry, the usual bartender that you became on a first name basis with after your third time going to Websterâs. Since it was the farthest thing from busy right then, he immediately walked over to you two.Â
âHey, Barry, can he have some water?â
He nodded and filled up a glass, sliding it over to Steve and then looking at you. âGlad to see you here. Heâs looked like a sad little lost puppy for the past hour.â
Steve stopped mid-sip to scoff. âThatâs very not true.â
âSorry, but I think I have to believe the only other sober person here,â You said and only smiled at the second annoyed scoff he let out, which was hard to take seriously because of his current drunkenness.Â
Barry got called over by a group of people that just walked in and you silently watched Steve take a few sips from his glass. When he set it down, you lightly nudged his knee with yours. âDo you wanna talk about what happened with your dad?âÂ
Steve simply sighed at first. âHe came to Family Video today and went on this huge rant about me and what Iâm doing with my life. He thinks my job is shit, and even me going to school part-time isnât enough. He thinks Iâm such a loser in comparison to his friendâs kids who are actually âdoing things with their lives.ââ
You frowned and shook your head. âFuck him.â  Â
âCheers to that,â Steve said with a small laugh and held up his glass of water for a second. âHe also said that he wants to set me up with this job at his friendâs insurance company, and I immediately said no to that. Iâm still not entirely sure what I wanna do yet, but I know itâs not thatâ some stupid fucking desk job. Especially not one thatâs just given to me by my dad.âÂ
âHeâs an idiot,â You told Steve. âAnd also his bullshit is not at all worth the hangover youâll have in the morning.âÂ
âYou might be right about that,â He responded, eyes fixed on his now half-empty glass of water and a small amused smile on his face. âBut, it felt good for a second.âÂ
You poked his arm so that he would look at you. âYou couldâve talked to me about all of that instead of coming here.âÂ
âI didnât wanna mess up your date by coming home and talking to you about all of this sad shit. I knew that youâd just worry about me and probably not go,â He mumbled. âAnd I feel like a dumbass for still messing it up.â
âItâs okay. Seriously. Honestly,â You told him and then playfully smiled as you said your next words. âAnd you know that I would tell you if it wasnât okay. Iâd definitely hold this over you for at least a week, and force you to clean out Haroldâs cage and do my laundry thatâs been building up for the past week and a half. But youâre drunk and sad, and Iâm way too nice to make you do any of those things.âÂ
He laughed at that, which made you smile wider. âThank you.âÂ
âYouâre welcome,â You said before you stood up from the stool youâd been sitting in. âNow, come on, letâs get out of here before it starts getting crowded. Can you walk okay?âÂ
Steve only nodded in response, which was a nonverbal answer that you werenât sure if you completely trusted, so you stood close to him as he also got up and pulled some cash out of his back pocket and placed it on the counter.Â
He then waved at Barry, and you were certain that he probably didnât mean for it to be so animated and comical, but it very much looked that way. âGoodnight, Barry.â
The bartender laughed a bit when he looked over at you and Steve. ââNight, guys.âÂ
Steve started heading toward the door first and you followed just a few steps behind him. When he stumbled a bit before even making it out of the door, you grabbed his hand and moved closer to him so that he could drape his arm around your shoulders, and then one of yours circled around his waist.Â
Leading him to your car was a feat in itself, but once he was settled in the passenger seat and you started driving, he rolled his window down completely and had it like that during the entire ride even though it was freezing cold outside, and that was worse than dealing with his stumbling.
When you made it to the apartment building, his balance was actually a bit more coherent so you didnât need to do more than just hold his hand during the entire walk to the elevators and then down the hallway to the apartment.
You dragged him to your room and he sighed in contentment when he sat down on the side of your bed; he always liked your mattress better than his own for some reason.Â
âWait, donât fall asleep yet,â You told him before heading over to his room and grabbing a random t-shirt and basketball shorts from one of his drawers. âHere, put this on. I know youâd be mad at me if I let you fall asleep in those jeans.âÂ
âThanks,â He mumbled with a yawn as you handed the clothes over to him, and then you went to the kitchen as he started changing.Â
You filled a mug with water and then pulled open the drawer that had the bottle of aspirin in it. Neither you nor Steve were really sure why it lived there instead of in one of your bathrooms, where it probably shouldâve been, but you two also didnât make any effort to move it. Â
Steve was already asleep and under the covers when you walked back into your room, and you placed the mug and aspirin on the nightstand on his side. You changed into your own pajamas for the night, which simply consisted of an old baggy t-shirt and shorts, before settling in on your side of the bed.Â
It was still pretty early for a Friday night, barely even ten oâclock, but you didnât mind going to bed because you were actually a little tired. Steve was turned and facing away from you, but you still watched him and his even breathing for a bit, making sure he was okay before you quickly drifted off to sleep yourself.Â
.ăťă.ăťăâăť.ăťâŤăťăăťă. .ăťă.ăťăâăť.ăťâŤăťăăťă.
Steve didnât know what time it was when he woke up, but he could tell that it was pretty early because he could see the just sun starting to rise.Â
The other things he quickly noticed were that he was in your bed and he had a pounding headache, which was a little confusing at first, but then all of what happened last night started coming back to him.Â
The shit with his dad, the bar, the accidental phone call to you, and then you coming to the bar and bringing him homeâ he remembered it all.Â
With a soft groan, Steve slowly sat up in bed, doing his best not to wake you, and then reached over to grab the water and aspirin you left out for him.Â
He took the medicine and drank most of the water and then laid back down, turning on his side to face you. Your head was against the pillow and even breaths fell from your slightly parted lips. You looked so peaceful like this, he decided, so pretty. Â
Steve thought about you and Jamie, and how happy you had been when you talked about him. Steve also knew how excited youâd been about the date, and even though you had told him that it was okay that you had to cancel it last night, he still felt a little bad about it all.Â
He knew that you would probably do anything for him, and that was completely mutual. If the roles had been reversed last night, Steve wouldnât have thought twice about canceling a date to go pick you up from some dumb bar. And making those sorts of sacrifices for one another never felt like a question, it just always felt like the obvious thing to do.Â
It didnât completely make sense at first, but somehow it was that simple and crystal clear thought that managed to shift something deep down inside of himâ it harshly drew the line between best friends and something more. And Steve quickly realized exactly which side he lay on.
Which was confusing because the lines of where your friendship began and ended had always felt so unquestionableâ you and him were best friends; nothing more, nothing less.Â
But it was different now, it changed, and it was this moment that told him that it actually had been that way for a while; probably since you two moved into the apartment.Â
Starting from that day in August your lives became even more intertwined with one anotherâ which didnât feel entirely possible because of how close youâd been for so longâ but it was true. He hadnât realized how blurry the lines had been getting since then.Â
Since you two started beginning your days and ending them in the same home. Since so many nights became spent in each otherâs beds; nothing more happening than sleeping and late night talking, but still. Since you two got Harold only a few weeks into living in the apartment, and you both immediately fell into your unserious parental roles in the hamsterâs life. Since an unspoken early morning weekend routine fell into place where Steve would make coffee and toast and youâd do the eggs and bacon. Since you two became something equivalent to a married couple that had been together for at least twenty years.Â
And then Steve realized that actually maybe this something more had always been thereâ maybe it had always been so fucking obvious.Â
He thought back to the end of Senior year when you two went to each otherâs proms and slow danced at the end of the night because you both thought it would be funny, but those moments actually turned into something really sweet and wholesome; and youâd both think back on it during the most randomest of times.Â
And then he also thought about smaller things, the parts of your personality that made him feel so goddamn lucky to know you. How you always fiddled with the radio and never settled on a station for longer than a few minutes during perhaps any car ride where Steve was the one driving; something that youâd been doing since the day he got his driver's license and you two went on your first solo car ride together. How pretty much anything you did would only make him smile and playfully roll his eyes or make fun of you.Â
Steve wasnât entirely sure why he was having this sort of âepiphany momentâ right here, right now, in your bed as he looked at you peacefully sleeping next to him.Â
It, of course, stemmed from you canceling something that he had known youâd been looking forward to for the last couple of days to instead take care of him, he could recognize that. But, what made that so different from everything else youâd done for each other over the years?Â
He immediately thought that maybe there was no one straight answer to that question because it wasnât about what was different. Instead, it was about all of those other moments too. They had slowly built upon each other until it came to this one on this February morningâ nine years into your friendship and six and a half months into you two living togetherâ and Steve could finally recognize what it all had meant, and he was ready to accept the truth for what it was too.Â
He liked you. More than liked, actually. He loved you, he was in love with you.Â
But, you were also his best friend, the most important person in his life, and he didnât want to be the reason that that ever got messed up. And that thought was what made him finally look away from you and mutter out a soft, âFuck.â
Steve quickly got out of the bed, and he was surprised, but also completely grateful, that his quick and hasty movements didnât manage to stir you awake.Â
He left your room and went to the kitchen. It was early and he probably shouldâve been trying to get a few more hours of sleep, but he wasnât tired anymore.Â
The realization was the only thing on his mindâ in a matter of seconds, it managed to completely consume it.Â
Everything else that had been happening the past few months finally made complete sense; Steve saw it all in a different way. He now understood why he couldnât picture any sort of future with Vanessa when he went out with her a few times back in December even though he really did like her, and why he couldnât see anything with anyone he went out with. Because deep down, he knew that he could only see that with you. It made sense why his dating life had been in such a rut lately and why he didnât particularly mind it all that much.
When you two would jokingly say that you both were completely okay with ending up âalone together forever,â he realized now that from his side of things, deep down, it had never been a joke. And he wondered if it was the same way for you.Â
In an ideal world, the answer would be yes. But, things only felt confusing, and if he was being a thousand percent honest with himself, he didnât know if that answer was yes in this world.
Steve knew that you really liked Jamie, even in such a short amount of time, so that couldnât mean that you had any sort of feelings for him. Right? Or maybe you just hadnât had your own âepiphany momentâ yet? Should he tell you about his? Should he tell you about any of what just hit him in the past ten minutes?Â
His brain felt as if it was going to fucking explode with all of the questions circling his mind right then, and the coffee he was making failed to distract his thoughts from everything.Â
He came to the quick decision that he wouldnât tell you what he was feeling; it would just be easier that way. There wouldnât be any way for him to potentially fuck things up between you two if he simply ignored what he was feeling. It was easy to imagine how drastically your friendship would change if he told you everything and you didnât feel the same. Therefore, he could push it all away to make sure that nothing changed for the worse.
When the coffee was done, he poured some into a fresh mug and took a long sip. Any other time, he couldnât really stand straight black coffee, but the bitterness tasted good for once; he decided to focus on that instead of anything else.Â
Steve wasnât sure how long he had been leaning back against the counter and sipping from his mug before you came out of your room. It couldâve been one minute or ten; right then, time felt as if it was moving both slow and fast.Â
âHey,â You said, giving him a small smile and rubbing the tiredness out of your eyes. âIâm surprised youâre up already. I definitely expected you to be passed out until at least ten.âÂ
It felt equivalent to a light switch flipping how quickly Steve felt affected by your smile and simply you in that moment. Heâd probably seen you like this a million times beforeâ just waking up and still in your now wrinkled pajamas from the nightâ but it felt entirely different now. And that was when he knew how fucked he was.Â
âYeah, I, uh, I woke up and couldnât, um, go back to sleep⌠So, yeah, just came out here. Made some, um, coffee,â He ultimately responded and then inwardly sighed at how flustered he was right then. He let out a quick laugh. âSorry, blame the hangover for my inability to say sentences right now.âÂ
If that was how he was going to act around you from now on, he knew that trying to keep this a secret was probably the most unrealistic idea ever.Â
You laughed a bit and nodded, seemingly unfazed by his awkwardness right then, and opened up the fridge. âYou think you can stomach eggs and bacon?âÂ
âYes to the bacon, but I think I should play it safe and say no to the eggs.âÂ
âMakes sense,â You said, closing the fridge after grabbing the bacon. You placed the pack on the counter near the stove and then looked at Steve. âYou feeling better about all of that dad shit?â
It was almost comical how even though it had been the reason for everything that happened last night, the conversation he had with his dad was the farthest thing from his mind now.Â
âIâm good, actually.âÂ
âGood,â You said, smiling at him and then reaching out to grab his hand and give it a light reassuring squeeze; which, unknown to you, made his heart feel as if it was going to somersault out of his chest. âRemember, the next time this happens, come to me and we both can get drunk here for free. Or we can just run away and join the circus, or whatever it was we agreed on when we were twelve.âÂ
Steve only nodded and gave you a small smile in response because it felt as if that was all he could do at that moment. If he attempted to say anything, he felt like his words wouldâve started or ended with, âIâm in love with you.âÂ
He changed his decision then. He knew that he had to tell you everything because it wouldnât be easy to simply bury it down and ignore it. There was no way that heâd be able to keep this from you, at least not for a long time, it was already swallowing him whole. And although he had no idea when or how he would tell you the truth, he made a quick promise to himself that he would do it.Â
.ăťă.ăťăâăť.ăťâŤăťăăťă. .ăťă.ăťăâăť.ăťâŤăťăăťă.

Hello! I was wondering if I could request Miguel touching himself as we talk to him over the phone? We can be aware of it or completely oblivious idc
GAH DAYUM ANON 𫣠ofc ofc ty! requests are open!
tags- just nsfw from this point, drabble !
ââ Usually at 10 p.m in the evening, Miguel OâHara wouldnât be asleep but instead overlooking different universes. He just stays up in general, with complaints about wanting him to go to sleep. Even having a girlfriend wouldnât stop him from staying up, in more ways than just âchecking the universeââŚ
Like listening to you rant about other people you had a problem with at your job in your own universe.
ââŚAnd so like this one guy was telling me that my shots were blurry? Which wasnât.â
âUh huh.â
âAnd she was tellinâ our boss that I pushed her?! Oh my god youâd hate her.â
âMhm.â
He smiled a bit. Again, usually he wouldnât be listening to a person talk more than 3 minutes if it didnât have to do with the multiverse. Until he began dating you which was a whole other story for another day.
âAre you even listening?!â
He widened his eyes at your outburst. Of course he was listening! He would listen to your heaven-sent voice every day.
âYes. Of course I am, hermosa?â
He heard your breath steep for a minute before you let out a groan and a thud, âOh fuckâ Sorry I just knocked something over.â
He didnât know why but felt blood rush down there. That noise you made sounded so melodic, so euphonious. Your voice alone makes him feel some type of way.
But that.
That was different.
He looked down to the tent in the lower part of his suit. It was pathetic, he knows. But it has to be taken care of. He bit his lip and stretched his arm to turn himself on mute.
And at a press of a button, he began stroking his exposed dick. He couldnât help but feel like something is missing. That being your presence. Not just on telephone.
A smile played out on his lips as he imagined yours. Your beautiful pink lips talking. Your lips licking at a lollipop. Your lips around his cock as its stuffed down your throat.
Everything about you was ethereal to him. He looked at his hand jerking off his dick and moaned quietly.
He just wanted it to badly to be your hand doing that. Your hand struggling to grab onto his dick fully.
âFuck, Y/NâŚShitââ
Or for you to complain about how much heâs filling you up, complaining about how fucking big he is. All the things that would stroke his ego as well as the thought of your tight pussy around his dick, clenching around him.
âMamiâŚfuckâŚâ he let out a stifled moan and kept pumping.
God, how he would love to have you leaving soft kisses around his dick. He bit his lip and threw his head back as he kept pumping until he let out his load on his thighs, frowning once he was done.
What a fucking waste.
He let out a deep sigh and rubbed at his temple, âFuck, Y/NâŚThe shit you do to me.â
âUh huhâŚâ
His eyes widened in panic as he saw his phone screen and realized that he wasnât on mute.
There was a bit of silence before you spoke again, a dark and elusive tone dripping from your lips.
âSoâŚMiguel.â
âI-â
âSave it for next time, baby. Maybe then, you wonât have to use your hand next time I see you.â
God, you were going to be the end of him.

Sketch page of the Young Justice core four!
I numbered them in the order I did them in, which gives a very clear indication for when I switched my style.
Rant under cut :)
This would have been done like four or five days ago but I cannot for the life of me draw a fucking running pose holy shit. like the mean for time taken for each drawing would have been maybe 30 minutes, but no 6 was a BITCH and took me maybe five hours alone, but tbf, half of that was spent lamenting.
Btw these aren't, like, the full sketches, after 6 I started to draw the silhouettes of the poses first and then went over it in red. Also, references used for 1,3, and 9. Why didn't I use a reference for number 6 if it was so hard? I gave up. I still think it should have been pushed more but eh.
Posting will probably be slow until maybe October, because I just got into university, for an art course, which is pretty neat ngl. so yippee or whatever.
The sketches of Bart are my favourite and that upsets me. not because I don't like him but because the poses took me so long. He does, however, get the privelige of colour, mostly because he looked super empty without it. I tried giving the others their red as well, but it was too much and Tim looked like Dick, so....
I'm not really a fan of these in general, but I'm posting them anyway, because eventually I get to see progress. much happier with the style I used for the last 4 (sorry Kon), but they don't exactly look young, more like late-ish teenagers.
I'm pretty happy with the one character interaction that I forced myself to do, though, so that's nice, even if they're not really doing anything.
I think I messed up Cassie's outfit by accidentally combining two of them, so oops.
Shoes still suck. I hate them.
Theres a lot to tag now holy shit-

do you mean twilight princess, in which she held a sword exactly once in a flashback and pretty much immediately dropped it in surrender? or wind waker, where she forgets how to use a sword the second she turns into princess zelda until literally the final battle đ¤? and i genuinely can't think of whatever other time you're referring to that she apparently uses a sword. spirit tracks? ok i'll give you that one, i guess, because phantom zelda is pretty badass, but other than that.........??
"ummm actually it's a good thing that zelda plays differently from link, because link has the triforce of courage so of course he fights and uses swords! meanwhile zelda has the triforce of wisdom, so obviously she's going to find more clever ways to solve her problems teehee ;)" hey did you guys know you can still be excited for the game while also acknowledging it's pretty fucking shitty of nintendo to act like zelda is incapable of picking up a sword in a mainline game.
#i'm sorry if this response seems condescending or rude but this is just a very flimsy argument.#like....you know what i meant. nintendo acts like she's incapable of fighting outside a very scant few circumstances & use the#âwell she wouldn't solve her problems like thatâ or âbut if she's the main character what would link be doing hahaâ as an excuse.#also before anybody tries to use it as a gotcha yes i know she does get to use the bow of light in a few games as well#(in all 3 games mentioned funnily enough). which is cool! i think the bow of light is awesome and an iconic weapon of hers#(and yes i think of it as *her* weapon. which is why i'm so fond of the idea of a bow and arrow being her main weapon of choice in the same#way a sword is link's). but those times are few and far between and it's always only to play a supporting role to link.#which obviously works from a gameplay standpoint since in those cases we're playing as link and thus would literally have nothing to do if#she DID do all the fighting. but the fact she still doesn't get to fight in a game she's literally headlining????#idk it's just not a great look to me. combat has ALWAYS been a very core part of the loz series from the very beginning & on one hand yeah#think it's cool they're trying to branch out & experiment with different gameplay styles. but idk it just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth#(especially because i can already tell the whole ~just throw shit at enemies~ thing is going to get very annoying very fast for me lmao)#...HOWEVER. i do also acknowledge that overall we actually know very little about the game so far. only what we saw in the reveal trailer.#so obviously i'll withhold final judgement until i play for myself. i'm just a little wary is all.#honestly i guess what i really take issue with is the loz fans acting like the decision to focus less on combat is somehow more#âin-character.â as if every iteration of zelda doesn't have her own distinct personality anyway? it would literally be so easy for them to#write a zelda who's eager to fight (even if only because it's to save link) while still keeping close to her core characteristic traits.#like. come on.#sigh. but anyway. sorry for the rant but it's just so upsetting that so many loz fans#(and this isn't aimed at the person in the screenshot. just in general) seem perfectly ok with the perpetual mistreatment of zelda#especially when they use the same tired arguments to justify it. i'm so over it but i'm also not going to discuss it further#as this literally took me 6 hours to write and i'm sick to death of having to think about this because honestly all of my thoughts#are far more nuanced than i care to convey in the tags of a tumblr post anyway.#...actually i'm kind of tempted to write a whole essay about this now. if nothing else it might help me sort out my thoughts a bit better.#lmk if any of you (assuming anybody's even made it this far lmfao) would be interested in seeing that ?#but yeah ok seriously i'll stop talking ...for now đ#replies#send tweet

I have the largest hyper fixation on Floyd right now. Funny little troll being way too cute for it to be legal.
do you think you could write a story where a male / Non-binary reader that's like, a large person thing, (You can make them part animal if possible, I like the idea of Floyd hiding in the readers fur for comfort.) is reunited with Floyd after he was stick in the diamond perfume bottle for 2 months. And they just give Floyd a bunch of comfort cuddles and other stuff.
Take all the time you need to rest and drink water, if you can't do my request, that's perfectly fine. I hope you have an amazing day / night!
-A non-binary bee đ
@!; Floyd with a part-animal Reader! Floyd / Half-animal! Half-Troll! Reader
"Summary"! Couldn't tell if you meant big like tall or big like cubby... so why not both? :D Anyways, there are more headcanon style with little stories in it. Dunno when I'll post this (I have like 5 other stories backed up b/c my mind can't decide what to write); But I hope you like it Bee! Tags! Floyd literally being everything, no pronouns mentioned so feel free to use your own, hurt-comfort, NOT PROOF READ... also wrote in one sitting... in one day. AND TUMBLR KEPT GLITCHING ON ME AND THE PITCTURE BORDER ISN'T WORKING ON DESKTOP-. anyways please enjoy <3
@!; Floyd has known you since his band days, which was a shock to his brothers when they finally met you. Not only are you taller than an average troll (a foot or so) yet you're also different; and mostly in a good way, but take what you will about the fact that Branch noticed your differences first. When Floyd first met you, it was 2 months into his boyband career with Brozone. He went out on a walk to clear his head before a big show, anxious feels were never good to go on stage with and his brothers didn't help much. Mostly John Dory, who kept speaking about his "perfect" plan to the show. Just thinking about messing up anything made Floyd more nervous than preforming, he really didn't want to let his brothers down; as he's seen them preform before he was able to join on the scene. So while JD ranted, Spruce worked out, and Clay was fitting into his costume, Floyd went out on a needed walk. That's when he found you;
You were stood up top a mountain cliff near the Pop troll village, looking down with your majestic eyes and ears relaxed down by your side. Floyd stood by the village though hid in the shade of the plants nearby to watch. He didn't want to scare you off, especially since he's never seen anything quite like you. You seemed memorized by the lights of the Pop troll village, if not maybe a little intoxicated by them; like a moth to the flame. Floyd was memorized by your shiny coat, which he could barely see against the night sky and the bright colors of the village. You didn't seem to notice him at all as you laid down at that cliff, crossing your paws and laying your muzzle down on them. Floyd wasn't sure why but watching you watching the lights of the village calmed his nerves. Even though it was still a little nerve racking thinking that an animal so big knows were the village was; an animal who could possibly eat Trolls. Yet, that thought was quickly wavering out of his mind the more passive you seemed. @!; Floyd almost missed the show that night, Spruce had to go find him before JD blew a fuse. He was questioned like hell the few seconds before the show and then afterwards, yet he couldn't exactly tell his brothers that he saw an animal watching the village and that's what he was doing. They would be both over worried and a little relentless in scolding him for getting so close to something that could eat trolls. His absence of an answer, and his general dodging of the brothers questions (when that was so not like Floyd) led them all to assume that Floyd met a Troll that had caught his eye. Floyd tried to protest against this, yet was a little flustered at the fact that all his brothers seemed to jump on that conclusion train so quickly. So, that only solidified his brother's theories more and thus began the hunt. All his brothers kept an extra eye on Floyd, trying to see who the lucky Troll had been who caught there ever so sensitive brother's eyes. Despite all their "sneaky" tracking and slight stalking, they came up with nothing. Floyd was determined to let them not know what, or maybe who, he actually saw that night. So he didn't see you again until his brothers gave up on their little hunt and let Floyd to his own devices. Especially after he almost messed up a show due to nerves from not being able to go out on a walk without his brother's bombardment; JD wasn't happy. 3 months after first seeing you, Floyd was able to catch a glimpse of you again. Before a show, he looked out the window (not needing to go out on a walk that night) and saw your figure again in the distance on the same hill. You were relaxed again, laying down and looking intently towards the Village. In some weird sense, Floyd had a funny thought that you were here to listen to the concert; seeing as he didn't see you on any other night than concert nights. Yet, he shook that thought out of his head really quick, not thinking that you could like Brozone music. Not that it was because you weren't a Troll, but because he thought it was too loud for your ears; he's read somewhere that animal ears tended to be more sensitive than Troll ears. But then why would you be so close to the Village? The thought stuck in Floyd's mind all throughout the performance and when he checked if you were still at the cliff after the show, you were gone. He couldn't tell if it was because of the noise or because the show had ended; but he felt a little disheartened.
@!; Floyd would play this one-sided game of eye-spy for months before he spotted a night when you weren't you. He had began to make it a habit to leave you a little plate of food (well little for you) before every Brozone performance. His personal thank you for watching the show despite your (maybe) sensitives ears. He was going to go place the plate of food at the top of the cliff when he stopped midway through his hike to see a Troll standing at the top of the cliff. At least, it looked like a Troll? Yet they seemed taller, even more so when Floyd slowly approached closer. Your hair also was more abundant than other Trolls, even for adults. He was cautious as he approached you, keeping the plate of food close to him as he tried to scope out who you were before he interacted. Yet before he could figure out who you were, you snapped your head around to stare into the dead of night . . . directly at him. Floyd froze, not sure if you could see him or not and not wanting to find out. Though it was light you weren't even a Troll for a second, taking in a sniff before your hair stood up for a moment; prickling like a cat's hair standing up when frightened. Slowly you approached him with heavy footsteps, your height slowly growing in the moonlight as your shadow was drawn out. For a moment Floyd thought he was as good as dead. He didn't know what to do! Frazzled, he quickly shoved out the plate of food he had indented for his friend and not this stranger about to commit (possible) cannibalism. And that's when he heard your footsteps come to a stop and a heavy huff from someone's nose hit the top of his head, causing him to cautiously open one eye. And he felt like fainting as soon as he did that. Though he couldn't help opening both eyes in complete terror seeing a Troll tower over him in an unnatural height. Your eyes pierced down at him, their glow in the moonlight somehow familiar yet Floyd could not piece it together at this moment of panic. "Please don't eat me!" Floyd blurted out, the only thing between him and you being a plate of food. Yet you didn't answer, at least not right away. Your silence was as terrifying as your glare and staggering height. "I promise you I don't taste good!-" The words fell out before Floyd had even realized he had said them, watching with terror as you leant down. He wasn't sure what you were doing, but he hoped it wasn't serving your next meal's horror before deciding whether or not you should eat him. Yet there was something in your eyes that softened, a small smile that seemed to creep onto your lips. And for once after meeting you in this form, Floyd felt like he wasn't going to get mauled. Which was a good thing, a really good thing... For him at least. "So you're the one who's been leaving me food!" Your voice was not at all how he imagined it, as it seemed to carry some sort of friendliness he's not even heard from some Trolls. It was also a bit rougher, your English oddly unperfected for a Troll for the age Floyd guessed you were. "I-.. uh, what?" Though what did you mean Floyd was leaving you food? Maybe you were confusing him for someone else, or maybe you were eating the food he intended for his friend. Either way he tried to clear the confusion, "I'm sorry no, I don't think so. I've been leaving food here for.." "Yes, for me." You interrupted Floyd before he could finish, giving him a rather big grin. Yet, no matter how friendly you seemed, your words caused him to become that more confuddled. Even more so when you held out your hands flat, as though you were expected Floyd to just hand you the plate ... really incorrectly. He thought for a brief moment that you may be related to the animal that perches itself at the cliffside, though he didn't think too long on that possibility; as would it even be possible?
Either way, to save some trouble for now, Floyd carefully handed you the plate of food; watching as you held it from the bottom flat in your hands and grinned brighter before rushing off to the side of the cliff. He wasn't sure if he should follow you or not. "Come, friend! We eat to show!" You gestured for Floyd to follow as you sat at the iconic cliff he's seen the animal so many times. And despite his hesitation, and his logicality telling him not to, he deiced to join the Troll. I mean, what could be the harm? Floyd almost missed his performance that day. JD wasn't happy yet, oddly enough, something inside Floyd made him rather indifferent. Not uncaring, because he always cared about his brothers feelings and letting down JD was last on his list; yet, he didn't care as much as he should have. And that caught him by suprise. He wondered if it had to do something with you...
@!; The day the band broke up, Floyd went to seek you first. You two had grown close after the countless nights you spent upon the cliff, chatting and eating. Floyd just couldn't stand being able to leave without giving you a proper goodbye, you have been his closest friend outside his family after all. He found you lower on the cliff this day, still stalking in your animal form. Your ears were completely pinned back, and he was sure you had saw what had happened during that performance; it was the biggest disaster storm ever. "Hey! H-" Floyd didn't even have to call you twice before you perked up, snapping your attention over to him. He grew sheepish seeing your sudden smile, and he could only guess you had been utterly worried about him since the performance. Though he didn't expect you to be so worried you would bound towards him on all fours, causing him to yelp and quickly brace for impact. Yet, you never hit, and Floyd heard as you skidded yourself to a stop right in front of him and plopped down on your bottom. Letting out an excited yelp before licking him once, then twice. Causing him to laugh and try to push your snout away, a silent signal for you to turn back into a Troll. Which you didn't seem to get the hint for instantly, as you licked him thrice before standing up and twirling in a circle. Laughing, Floyd covered his eyes and let you turn back, opening them only when he heard your voice again; "Floyd! What in the hell happened out there?! One minute you guys were doing fine and it seemed like-" Your voice was as lovely as ever, and Floyd instantly felt a pang in his heart knowing he wouldn't be able to hear it as often anymore. His face became rather gloomy at that sudden realization he hadn't thought of before now. Maybe visiting you wasn't- no, he can't think like that! You deserved the truth as much as Branch did. He can't simply walk off and keep you sitting here, watching and wondering where he had gone for years on end. That wasn't right. "(y/n)!" Floyd jolted at the suddenness of his voice, and how firm it sounded. He didn't mean for his words to come out so harsh, though your ranting didn't do much to help his heart... or the decision he knew he had to make. Oh and your eyes, the way they shone in the moonlight. Floyd could see how startled he had made you, as he's never used such a voice with you; yet it had done the job and hushed you up, even for now. "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to scare you. I just-" Floyd's lip twitched as he thought for the easiest way to blow this to you. The easiest way to let you down after all the nights you had spent together. The easiest way for him to accept everything that was happening and everything he had to do and everything that needed to be done.. but oh poor Branch and poor you, neither of you deserved this- "Floyd.. it's okay." Floyd was brought back to his thoughts, snapped back with the feeling of your hands grabbing his and your voice echoing in his ears. He opened his seized eyes and glanced up at yours; you were leaning down again, and Floyd laughed through the tears he didn't realize were spilling down. "You're doing it again.." Floyd mumbled, his voice wobbly. Your hands raced to his cheeks, cupping them and undoubtably feeling the hot, wet tears streaming down as you began to clear them. Floyd dropped his hands to his sides, they felt all to heavy right now. "No you're doing it again." Your voice was uncharacteristically steady, none if it's usual fluctuating like a dog excited to see it's owner. "You're overthinking and... and thinking of everyone else before you think about yourself! Floyd, whatever you're going to say to me, whatever you're keeping in that mind of yourself, you're going to tell me now, okay? And you're going to tell me and you're not going to worry about how I feel and you're going to be firm on your decision... because you're strong and we're friends and I won't be mad with you no matter what you tell me."
@!; That night, Floyd knew, for sure, that he was in love with you. And that made telling you all that harder as his heart yelled at his brain to stay, but his brain knew that they couldn't go back on their choice. He had to leave, even if for a week or month or year. He knew he needed space from the Village and everyone inside.. but not you and Branch. Defiantly not you. And oh the broken look in your eyes got him, but the way you tried to smile through it and agree that the space is what he needed made him fall even more in love. You were so strong, you kept to your word... Maybe Floyd could stay one more night. And he did, he cuddled up with you for his last night in the Village; you both watched the stars, all cozied up in your hair. And god, has Floyd never felt a Troll's' hair so soft. He almost couldn't pull himself out from it in the morning when you were still clinging onto him, trapping him with both your body and your hair. He felt tempted to doze back to sleep, yet knew he had to leave now (while he still had the will power) then wait before you woke up. He knew if he saw your broken look again, that look in your eyes that you could never hide, he couldn't bring himself to leave. So when you woke up in the morning, you found yourself alone; completely alone in a middle of your blanket made of your hair. Floyd had left before you had woke up and you would find yourself sulking in that position for longer than you would have thought.
@!; You didn't see Floyd again, yet you heard from him up till a few years into his exploration of the unknown; journeying to find himself in the chaotic world beyond the village. You didn't leave from the outskirts of the Pop village, as that's were you had figured out you could thrive the most without interacting with other Trolls or animals. So when Floyd's letters began to run dry, you knew it wasn't because he didn't know where to send it. No that's never been a problem before, especially with the bugs that were used to deliver the messages so they never went through Troll post. You had first thought that he had forgotten to write a letter that day and he would send you one tomorrow. He didn't. You then figured he was just somewhere where he couldn't right or get a bug to deliver the letter. But after a month of sitting and waiting anxiously, you figured that couldn't be the reason either. Floyd never stayed in a place for this long, and the letter he had sent you last made it sound like he was going to a place where he could continue to send letters. Another option came to mind, what if Floyd had just stopped sending letter because he just grew tired of you? He found someone else who captured his attention better than you did! Who could write in pretty cursive and spell words and speak correctly. Who could bake for him pies and cupcakes, who could sing and dance with him in the proper way that a Troll could. That was the first day you ever felt truly alone ever since Floyd left. Sure, you missed him dearly; Missed his smile and his caring ways and his company but never did you ever feel truly lonely. The type of lonely that made you upset and aggravated. The type of lonely that stung more than a throne in your paw, or a bee sting. The type of lonely that made you think back on all the memories you had with Floyd and made you think two different thoughts all at once: What was the point? Can I get those times back? It was torture. Two months of agonizing torture that ate you up inside with no remorse.
@!; Two months inside that horrible diamond prison, Floyd was finally free. Sure he had some white in his hair now, and felt fatigue come onto him easier when singing, but he was free; Free and with his brothers heading back to the Pop Troll village where Brozone (kind of reestablished) was going to chill for a minute before maybe going back their separate ways. "Oh my god, did we ever tell you that Floyd use to have a crush in the village when he was younger?!" JD turned around from the console of his caterpillar-like trailer, a snicker plastered right across his face. His comment instantly flipped the attention of everyone else, who had been lounging around the 'living space' of the trailer and chatting about nothing exciting. At least, nothing exciting to John Dory. "Oh! I almost forgot about that!" Bruce started as Branch looked between his brothers, noticing as Floyd let out a small groan and covered his face. "Oh not this gain..." Floyd mumbled, though not completely under his breath. "What?! JD you have to be joking right now!" Poppy jumped to a start, Viva seemed to be right beside her; jumping to her sister's side, placing her hands on Poppy's shoulders with such interest you would think JD had just brought up party plans. "Oh I'm so not joking." JD couldn't help but laugh, crossing his arms. "Floyd used to sneak off before the start of every show and see his little crush! It was so cute." And there was the teasing tone that Floyd could never forget. He hadn't hoped they didn't bring up this topic, but now he wished he had begged on his knees to anything above that his brothers had forgotten. "Oooh~ Floyd! Who was the lucky troll?" Viva questioned, mirroring her sister's excitement yet with a slight more mature feeling. "Well-" Floyd couldn't even begin before JD took over again. "We never got the chance to see them!" "Oh yeah, and we tried hard too. Stalked Floyd anytime he went out to see if we could find any sort of glimpse on who this Troll was. But we never found them." Clay informed, leaning back against the couch as an amused glint crossed his eyes; he glanced over to Floyd, who was still hiding his head. "Can we PLEASE change the topic?!" Floyd begged, but he guessed that his humiliation was much too entertaining to his brothers (mostly JD). "Nope! Never got the chance to see them. It was like- the biggest mystery in all of BroZone history." JD made this sound more ominous than it needed to be. More mysterious than a unclosed murder case that was more boggling than answerable. His serious tone didn't help it either. "Oh my god, Viva!-" Poppy turned to her sister, who held a knowing look. "To the clue board?" "To the clue board! Don't worry we'll find this troll." Poppy exploded like a star as Viva and her rushed over to the clue board that Branch had set up. They didn't waste time before they began to excitedly chat over possibly candidates and theories. Floyd felt more embarrassed than the day his brothers had started that whole mess, and he wasn't sure how that was even possible! Branch watched the two sisters for a moment before turning over to his brothers, thoroughly confused, "Wait... why did no one tell me this?!"
@!; Floyd wasn't sure how he would break this news to his brothers, but all he knew is that he needed to get to you first. He knew you just as you knew him, and he knew his disappearance would have a cause for concern... or maybe alarm or distress. Everything that Floyd didn't want you to feel when you thought about him because he should be your safe space and you had been his. "Guys! I'll be right back." Floyd shouted to his brothers when the caterpillar bus had came to a stop in front of the Pop village; And Floyd was sure he literally flew out the door with more force than necessary before he began to run down the village. "Bring them home for dinner!" Floyd could hear JD's sly remark before he was no longer in earshot of the van. Though he was sure he could hear something about "Kids growing up too fast" and some shared lighthearted laughter. Floyd couldn't care at the moment; not when all his brain buzzed about was finding you and making sure you were okay. What if you had gotten hurt during your time of no communication. What if you began to think that Floyd no longer cared for you or that something had happened to your or- Floyd's mind raced faster than he could keep up with and it felt like he was no longer racing against time yet against his own thoughts; not thinking about the fact that he had crossed the village in record time or that his brothers watched him rush straight into the woods by that cliff he had found a friend on and then love. That cliff where he had stargazed with you and shared thoughts he hadn't shared with anyone else. That cliff where you had showed him your way of life and let him closer than any other Troll had been with you. That cliff were everything happened in a secret silence that felt just right. That cliff were time seemed to stop. That cliff where he first found your eyes and saw your face last when he left. That cliff.. That cliff. That cliff!- Floyd was jolted away from the edge of the cliff, something he didn't realize he was just about to run off due to being lost in his emotion. A firm grip on the back of his pants had yanked him away, throwing him down onto the floor as now someone was between him and that cliff. "Are you crazy?! You were about to throw yourself off!-" Floyd didn't expect his baby brother's voice to shout at him and snap him out of his flurry of thoughts. He didn't expect Branch to be the one to stand there between him and the cliff. It was meant to be you. Not that he was meaning to throw himself off a cliff to find you, he would never put that type of trauma onto anyone or even think about such as thing. But you were meant to be here, meant to greet him on this cliff, meant to... where were you? Floyd didn't answer his brother as he scrambled onto his feet, numb from the running. He didn't care. He couldn't bring himself to care. He began to look around frantically, up and down the cliff, left and right. He rushed to some bushed and trees and tried looking more in depth as Branch stood there; never having seen his brother so disorientated and frazzled. "Floyd? Floyd!" Branch tried to get his brother's attention, "Floyd what are you looking for?" You. Where were you? Floyd didn't realize he didn't answer his brother; he had thought he had, but he didn't. He simply jumped off a rock and to the lower side of the cliff before he continued his search. Branch cautiously followed him, slowly lowering himself down from the rock and onto the ground. He watched Floyd look everywhere before Floyd jolted to a stop and stared in front of him. "(Y/N)!" It was a pained cry as Floyd rushed forward, pushing himself off of a tree to give himself a boost. "Floyd!" Branch yelled, following his brother in a panic. "Floyd you can't run into the forest around the village they're dangerous! Flo-" And Branch paused seeing who his brother approached. "Floyd!"
Floyd had no hesitation rushing over to an enormous beast that laid in the middle of a field, soaking in the sun. The beast had clear patches of its fur bitten off, and Branch couldn't tell whether it was self inflicted due to nerves or if it was from a fight. It perked its ears, then its head as it heard Floyd' shouting. It scanned the field and Branch felt himself rushing over to his brother. "FLOYD!" Branch's yell fell short as he saw the beast jump to its paws and rush over to his brother. Branch felt adrenaline rush through his body as he was sure he was about to watch his brother get eaten by a rapid animal. And Branch wasn't in range to catch the beast's muzzle with his hair, and Branch was sure that Floyd wouldn't attack it for whatever reason, and- wait... what? Branch kicked up dirt as he skidded to a stop, watching at the beast popped into an unusually tall Troll who grabbed Floyd in bear hug before spinning the two around. Branch watched with so much bewilderment that he questioned what JD had put in the drink he had given him. He had to be seeing things. That beast didn't just transform into a troll, right? Branch let out an airy bit of laughter as he watched the taller Troll trip on their own legs, causing the two of them to crash down and laugh loudly. Laugh like long lost lovers or crushes who had just found each other again, some sort of star-crossed lovers situation you would only find in books. Branch let out a small huff before carefully walking over to Floyd and you on the floor, laughing like maniacs. "What happened to you?!" Floyd reached up to cup your cheeks, worry rushing to his eyes as he noticed the bits of your hair that were fried and clearly chewed off. "No! No what happened to you?!" Sure, maybe you should have answered Floyd's question before asking one but you were too worried! This man disappears off the face of the planet for 2 months with no explanation then comes back like nothing ever happened?! You wouldn't stand for it, nor would you sit or lay for it either. Your hands rushed up to his, cupping over his hands which were cupping your cheeks. "I asked the question question first!" Quipped Floyd with a cheeky, beaming grin. Oh, how you've missed that grin so much. You could just squish his cheeks and kiss him at this moment. "I'll tell you what happened to me when you explain what happened to you." "Dea-" "How about you both explain what is happening?" Branch cut in, standing nearby with crossed arms and an amused smile. Floyd shot his head up, you simply turned to the side, to see that smile and oh- Floyd for a moment thought Branch was about to use this for some sort of blackmail against their brothers. "Branch!" Floyd sat up with a startle, having forgotten his brother had been here... and that he kind of saved Floyd from running off a cliff earlier. "Who are you?" Floyd heard you ask from under him and he knew he had a lot of explaining to do in that moment. But hey, if all he had to do was introduce you to his family, and hope they would accept you for your differences, then he would do that. He would do that and more to be able to be next to you, in your arms and in your reach. He would do anything to be able to keep you close. And next time he left the village, Floyd was not leaving without you.
@!; BONUS SNIPIT
"Wait, so you're telling me you got captured by some evil green-haired people who put you into a glass bottle made of diamonds and the only way you escapes is because your family made the 'perfect family harmony'?" You asked Floyd with a childlike wonder and a mature skepticism. You both were laying in Floyd's bed, inside his bod, as crickets chirped outside a sweet melody of the night. Floyd knew it sounded unbelievable but, "I'm telling you, this story is 100 percent real." Floyd couldn't help but keep in his laughter at your expressive wide eyes. Taking advantaged of your bewilderment of the situation, Floyd attacked you by snuggling closer; wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you closer, resting his head against your chest. He didn't have to look up at you to know you were cocking your eyebrow up in a questioning way, trying to think the logistics of the story over in your head. Yet you still wrapped your arms around Floyd's back, your hair stretching out to wrap the both of you in its fuzzy and cozy warmth. Floyd let out a deep sigh, you felt it against your chest; he missed these moments, and you did too. Moments that seemed to stand still, yet not in a boring way. In a way where Floyd got to soak up every second of being with you, and you got to soak up every second with him. Where you could feel like time was racing by, yet checked and it had only been a few minutes and you had more time to cuddle and just talk and be together than you had thought. Moments like these were the best feeling in the world. "I still don't believe you." You jokingly poke Floyd in the back, causing him to yelp and arch away from your pointy nail. You watched as he looked up at you with the most playfully challenging look; an eyebrow cocked upwards and his eyes glittering in the small light of the dimmed lamp. "Well it happened! I don't know what to tell you." He sassed back, rolling his eyes in a playful manner before he laid his head back against your chest. You tightened your arms around Floyd, which caused him to smile softly. No matter what happened, what had happened. Floyd was back now and neither of you were leaving each others side again; at least not now or in the near future unless it was forced.

summary- Sunghoonâs hidden love wasnât as hidden as he thought
________________________________________________________
Your life took a turn when you marched into your brotherâs room one time, angrily having to discuss something with him only to find someone else in there.
Sunghoon admired out your brotherâs window but upon hearing your arrival, he turned to face the noise. When he looked at you, the world that once spun for you came to a complete stop.
Your eyes never seemed to leave his and you stood at your brotherâs front door until you heard the agonizing voice behind you.
Your brother was quick to shoo you out his room before you could even get a word out to him or even in general. Your gaze still lingered on the stranger witnessing the scene be fold over his eyes. You could notice the amused smirk he had as he saw you trying to shoo your brother away.
Your brother was quick to shut the door on your face once you were out, you deeply sighed before groaning loudly making sure he heard. You werenât angry at the fact that your brother didnât even acknowledge you.
You were frustrated with the fact that you werenât able to be introduced to the memorizing stranger in your brotherâs room.
When you were first properly introduced to Park Sunghoon, you could practically feel your heart swelling and entering cloud 9, where it would reside for a longer time than you intended.
The awkward but warm smile he gave you as he shook your hand that you offered, you found yourself falling. You werenât the type to be intrigued by someone so quickly, let alone fall for them.
So, to your surprise when you found yourself falling for Sunghoon with the frequent times you were starting to seem him lingering around your house because of your brother.
However, him on the other hand had never viewed you anymore than his best friendâs younger sister. Obviously he was kind to create conversation with you or interact with you whenever you were forced to tag along with him and your brother because of your parents or simply because you wanted to (which he never minded either way).
Yet, he was oblivious to the fact of how you practically only kept your gaze onto him and not even to your surrounding. Which would explain the amount of times your brother scolds you to focus on your surrounding.
Sunghoon always found it amusing whenever you and your brother argued with each other, especially when he was present. But he knew deep down your brother cared for you deeply, something that your brother would never admit but Sunghoon would were the endless rants your brother had about you.
He was intrigued by the stories your brother told him, so when he first saw you angrily rambling about a situation as you walked into your brotherâs room only to find Sunghoon there instead, he couldnât help but wonder.
When there was the silence between the two of you, he could notice the slight change in gaze that once lingered in your eyes. He didnât know what or why the changed happened, but once your brother appeared from behind you and shooed you away, he couldnât help but be amused by seeing the bickering the two of you had.
Once you were kicked out the room, not only your brother but Sunghoon heard your grumble from the other side. He couldnât help chuckle softly which caught the attention of your brother, his best friend.
âWas that the famous younger sister you always talk
about?â Sunghoon raised an eyebrow to his best friend who heavily sighed and nodded his head
âSadly that is herâ Now he didnât even know it was possible, but Sunghoon was even more intrigued by you, he wondered about you the rest of the day he stayed at your brotherâs house
But he never indulged in any of the wonders, he kept his distant with you. Truly ever interacting with you whenever you were tagging along or he so happens to run into while he was at your house.
The two of you oblivious to the obvious lingering wonder for the other.
âWhy do you have to tag along?â Your brother grumbled as he sat in the back seat of the car, you chuckled at his words before shooing him away
Your brother and Sunghoon were going out to go grocery shopping for your family and somehow you got caught in the moment as Sunghoon offered an invite for you to tag along with them.
Saying along the words âIf I stay a moment longer with him, Iâll lose my sanityâ. You wouldnât want Sunghoon to lose his sanity over your brother so of course you tagged along.
âYouâre always complaining as if you never invite her tooâ Sunghoon rebutted his best friendâs words which only caused your brother to roll his eyes
âI can see you rolling your eyesâ Sunghoon pointed out as your simply waved him off, telling him to focus back on the road
You always found yourself laughing at the banters between Sunghoon and your brother. Yet, you were always oblivious to the sneaky glances taken towards you by Sunghoon.
Whenever you laughed, smiled, giggled or chuckled, Sunghoon always found himself looking in your general direction. He didnât know why or how he picked up this habit but it was something he couldnât seem to get rid of so he simply stuck with it.
He simply dismissed it as natural curiosity, nothing more and nothing less.
You and Sunghoon were in an aisle together as your brother had run off to another. You didnât bother to make your brother stay, you knew whenever he had his attention on something he was set in stone with it.
Sunghoon pushed the cart as you searched for what you were looking for. There were times where Sunghoon would jokingly ram the cart into you, which you would glare at him only to have him chuckle at you.
Sunghoon was going to lightly tap you with the cart to get your attention, but you were quicker than that. Before he could do so, you turned and grabbed the cart before it hit you. Sunghoon and the cart bounced from the impact and he looked to you in amusement.
You were too caught up in the moment to realize that you were shopping with Sunghoon alone. Your brother was no where near insight and you caught his eyes with yours. The familiar thumping in your chest reminded you of the hidden emotions you tried to bury deep down for your brotherâs best friend.
The two of you continued to look into each otherâs with no words being shared. You nervously gulped down while Sunghoon didnât seemed to be phased at all, you werenât surprised.
You believed why would he ever look your way when you were just his best friendâs younger sister.
Suddenly, your brother appeared out of no where and wrapped an arm around Sunghoonâs shoulder feeling the awkward tension.
âWhat happened?â Your brother raised an eyebrow and you and Sunghoon quickly to deny anything that happened, you decided it would be best to excuse yourself for a moment
Sunghoon was going to follow you with the cart but you raised your hand to signal him to stop. You gave a quick smile, saying that you just had to look for something and that youâd be back soon.
You were gone in a mere second and both Sunghoon and your brother were stunned with your change in attitude. Your brother was quick to face his best friend with a raising eyebrow.
Sunghoon raised his hands in defense, muttering the words of âI didnât do anythingâ. Your brother hummed and smacked lips against his teeth before taking the lead and walking down the aisle.
Sunghoon didnât follow him as easy as he followed you. He kept glancing around the store in hopes of finding you where you ran off to. He didnât know why you always seemed to flee from the scene whenever you were with him alone.
The time you returned, they were already carrying the bags out the store and you appeared beside them. Your brother asked where you were, but you shrugged your shoulders and kept to yourself.
The change in your demeanor was noticed not only by your brother but by his best friend as well. Sunghoon kept silence but the worry growing in his heart was settling at a fast rate.
When you sat in the backseat of his car, he was even more surprised. Usually, you sat in the front seat alongside him but not tonight. Your brother tried to get your attention but you shooed him off stating you simply tired.
Both of them knew that wasnât the case, but neither wanted to persist if you didnât want to tell them. Sunghoon and your brother created some conversation in the car to get rid of the awkwardness.
You simply looked outside the window to see the passing scenery as Sunghoon drove. You werenât ignoring them because of something they had done but rather because of your own running thoughts.
After the moment you had with Sunghoon, you needed to escape in order to calm your beating heart. The realization that settled into your heart made it fall to the pit of your stomach.
You were falling in love with your brotherâs best friend and you knew he didnât feel the same way as you.
You knew you liked Sunghoon and with the progression of these feelings, it could possibly lead to something more, but having the realization in a store wasnât the most admirable place to realize it.
When the three of came home, you were quick to head to your room not wanting to be in the presence of Sunghoon any longer. Your brother and Sunghoon were beyond confused on seeing your sudden change in mood, but your brother brushed you off while Sunghoon couldnât.
His mind and heart raced a millions thoughts and he wondered was it something that happened that you werenât telling them. Yet, the worst one that lingered in his mind, was it something that he did to possible upset?
After that incident, you seemed to avoid Sunghoon like the plague. Whenever he was over, you so happened needed to go out or would be in your room until he left. He was hurt by your actions because one moment you were having a moment then the next moment you act as if he doesnât exist.
You decided asking the internet on how to move on from your love on your older brotherâs best friend wasnât the best mechanism. But, it was either this or facing rejection from Sunghoon by confessing your feelings.
You knew neither of them would be any good but you preferred protecting your own heart by ignoring him and possibly break it by the rejection.
You needed to prepare but for right now, youâre in no state for it.
Sunghoon was sick of this. Itâs been over two months since you started ignoring him and he didnât know why it bothered him so much but he was at his limit. He didnât want to pressure you, the last thing he wanted to do was make you uncomfortable.
But he simply couldnât bear the fact that you wouldnât even acknowledge him anymore.
He tried to discreetly address it to your brother but your brother brushed it off by saying you were fine and that you interacted with him the same way you used to. That was the indication Sunghoon needed to realize, you were ignoring him only.
He was going to be staying the night, so he hopped that he would be able to catch you roaming around the house in order to talk. He simply wanted to clear the air, thatâs what he kept repeating in his mind on constant, he wasnât so sure if that was the case.
Sunghoon didnât expect to stay up so late at night, but he waited for any faint movement that would show you came out of your room. He knew this was strange even for him, but he couldnât bear any longer not talking to you.
He knew he was going to be in for a long night.
His eyes never shut once, he simply looked at the ceiling hoping for any type of drowsiness to take over yet, it never did. What lingered in his mind was you and he couldnât seem to get rid of it.
The moment he walked out of his best friendâs room, he took a lot glance to your door. It still laid shut just like
how he first saw it since earlier that day.
He sighed deeply and was going to go to kitchen but it seemed his body had a mind of its own. It was quick to walk over to your door and before he knew it, he was lightly knocking on it.
He expected you to be asleep and when he realized what heâs done, he groaned softly before turning around to go back to your brotherâs room. But what he didnât expect was for you to be opening the door.
He turned at the sound and when he saw you at the door, both of your eyes widen. Sunghoon remained frozen for a moment, he was awkwardly standing as he had been caught red handed.
âWhat are you doing?â Your voice was soft, it wasnât like how it used to be when the two of you talked but he didnât mind it
âUm sorry, Iâll come back another timeâ Sunghoon straightened out posture before walking away, you were going to let him go but your mind screamed
You opened the door wide enough and you found whispering out to him to get his attention. When his name fell from your mouth, Sunghoon felt a sudden sensation in his heart.
He gulped before nervously turning to see you. He doesnât remember the last he fully saw you, it felt years when itâs only been merely two months.
It was still a long time for him.
Sunghoon awkwardly sat on a chair inside your room. This was foreign territory to him, he had only been in your room one time and it was because no one else wanted to deal with waking you up, so he had to be the one.
He nervously played with his fingers and you took notice of that. Normally, this would have swooned you, but you were more focused on making sure your heart didnât burst out of your chest.
What could have he wanted so late in the night to the point where he was knocking at your door. You hadnât spoken to him in over two months, so you could only wondered what this would be about.
âSo umâ You softly began and Sunghoon quickly cleared his throat and raised his head that was looking at the ground
When his gaze landed onto you, it lingered for a moment longer than he expected.
âWhy are you ignoring me?â The question came off rather quicker than either of you had expected, you didnât expect to be addressed on the situation
Your gaze was the first to leave as it landed onto a random place in your room. You could feel Sunghoonâs eyes never leaving you, you shuffled around a little bit. You were debating whether to ignore it or address finally whatâs been in your heart and mind.
âIâve just been so occupied with things, I didnât realize I was ignoring youâ You mumbled, your gaze still facing away from Sunghoon, he obviously took notice of this
He nodded his head, he could tell you were lying. It was one of things he learned the more you two spent together.
âWell youâre lyingâ His words caught you buy surprise, you knew you were lying but how did he know that, you let out a scoff which was noticed by him
âExcuse me?â
âYouâve been ignoring me for two months straight, not a single greeting, not even a glance my way. How do you think I feel?â The hint of tone in his voice made you freeze, youâve never heard Sunghoon like this before
When you stayed silent, you could hear the light groan from Sunghoon before getting up from the chair to make his way over to you. You could feel his presence in front of you, but you didnât dare to look at him.
âCan you look at me? Pleaseâ You gulped down the nervousness forming in your throat before finally making eye contact with him
The thumping in your chest, the fluttering and turning of your stomach, reminded you why you steered cleared of him. You loved Sunghoon.
âWhy are you ignoring me?â His voice was tender, afraid if he raised it even louder he would scare you away
âWas it something I did? Iâm so sorry, I would never mean to harm or hurt you in anyway. I never want to upset youâ You could feel the bursting of your heart, you couldnât take it anymore
The two months you spent trying to get over Sunghoon was in vain. All he needed to do was show up at your bedroom door to have you falling into the spiral of love.
âYou canât say things like thisâ You groaned as you walked past Sunghoon and his gaze followed you with worry
âWhat is it? What did I say?â When you turned to face him, the emotion in his eyes made you sure it was over, you couldnât hold back anymore
âSunghoon you couldnât possibly do anything to hurt me. Thatâs the problemâ He looked to you confused, which was expected, but he wouldnât be prepared for the confession you were going to give
You werenât even prepared.
âYou canât say things like that because itâs only going to make me fall in love with you more. I canât have that. Iâm trying to get over youâ
âI canât handle having the thought of you linger in my head everyday. Especially when I know you would never look my wayâ
âItâs to save myself from the rejection. From the stupid heartbreak-â You couldnât even finish your sentence until you felt the crashing of his lips onto yours
Everything had happened to quickly, but you immediately melted into his touch. Sunghoonâs lips were almost desperate, trying to savor the moment as if it were a dream.
He couldnât handle hearing you any longer saying that he would never look your way. That he couldnât possibly like you, when you were the only thing in his mind ever since heâs met you.
âDonât say thatâ He muttered in the kiss, his hands cupped your cheek, never seeming to let you go
He didnât know how long you and him have been kissing, but what he did know was that he never wanted it to end. Having you in his arms felt right, seeming to forget that your brother, his best friend was just down the hall.
Yet, to him it made sense. He felt like this was his sole purpose, to be with you and make you happy.
âDonât play with my emotions Sunghoonâ You mumbled as you parted from him and Sunghoon could only chuckle, pampering soft kisses onto your face
This was something you would never expect, let alone kissing Sunghoon. You felt like you were in a cloud soaring through the sky, and you never wanted to wake up if this was a dream.
âCanât play with them, if I feel the same wayâ Sunghoon was quick to the reconnect your lips together in glee that seemed to form a bubble of just you snd him
That night, Sunghoon had to leave at the crack of dawn to make sure he wasnât caught coming out of your room before sneaking back into your brotherâs room.
You and him would have to be much more hidden about your growing relationship from your brother who so happened to be his best friend.
You jumped when your brother suddenly barged into your room. You stared at him in confusion and his eyes narrowed down at you.
âHave you seen Sunghoon? I canât find himâ You shrugged your shoulder before snapping your fingers
âI saw him leaving, saying how he was going to run some errands before coming backâ Your brother looked at you in shock but pushed it to the back of his head
âOh really?â You didnât pick up at your brotherâs tone and you nodded your head, he hummed before slowly walking out of your room
âAlright, Iâll just send him a text and see if he could get somethings for usâ Once your brother left and he closed the door, you let out the breath you were holding and you could heard Sunghoonâs whisper
âIs he gone yet?â You went over to your closet and thatâs when you saw your boyfriend crumbled up, you let out a giggle as he walked out
He groaned lightly getting rid of the hanger that stuck to his shirt. You smiled and helped dust off his clothes and you didnât realize the soft gaze Sunghoon had on you. He watched you in mere awe and when you looked to him, his smile only got brighter.
âHiâ His voice was soft and you rolled your eyes before walking away back onto your bed, as he followed after you
âI said hiâ Sunghoon took a seat on your bed and you smiled before waving to him
âHi Sunghoonâ His smile was bright and laid onto your bed as if it was his own, he loved how comfortable he felt that he could feel his eyes lids becoming heavy
You and Sunghoon have been hiding your relationship from practically everyone for over five months now. You know it shouldâve came out much sooner yet the two of you were scared.
Both fearful on how your brother would react to the news. He wasnât overprotective but you couldnât possible figure out how he would react to this.
Sunghoon was the most worried out of the two of you, which is practically understandable. He didnât want to ruin the friendship he had with your brother but he also didnât want to let you go because of it.
So the two of you had to stick with sneaking around and going out every now and then to have dates. It was ideal but itâs what needed to be done for the time being.
You began playing with Sunghoonâs hair as he laid on your bed. He closed his eyes with a warm smile and you could feel your heart swelling, you never thought a time like this would ever happen. You only imagined that you would admire him from afar, never did you expect to be in a relationship with him.
Unexpected things happen, sometimes you just have to wait for them.
âI could lay here foreverâ Sunghoon softly muttered but you giggled at his words which caused him to open one and look at you
âDonât get too comfortable, you have errands to runâ And right with your words, Sunghoonâs phone pinged and when he pulled out his phone the two of you could see the list your brother sent to him
He groaned loudly and you tried to console your laughter but it was hard when you saw his reaction. He looked to you as if asking if you could come alone with him but you shook your head.
He groaned even louder and you had to shush him before having your brother barge into your room and catch the both of you. He wrapped his arms around you, wanting to sink in the comforts of your bed.
âItâll be better to be caught now than having to go the grocery shoppingâ
He shouldnât have meant those words literally because not even a moment later, your bedroom door opened and in walked your brother.
âHey I was wondering if you wanted-â All three of your remained frozen in shock, you and Sunghoon were quick to separate from each other and sit up on your bed
You could feel the sinking of your heart seeing your brother frozen at your front door. He hadnât even blinked and only looked between you and his best friend with an agape mouth.
âSo um Sunghoon, why arenât you doing your errands?â Your brother finally asked still not taking his eyes off the two of you, Sunghoon was quick to get off the bed and face his best friend
âOh um well you seeâ Sunghoon tried his best to ramble on with an excuse but when none of his words were making sense, your brother raised a hand to stop him
âWhy is my best friend in your room and not doing errands?â Your brother looked past Sunghoon to you, you looked at him with confusion and slowly got off your bed to stand next to Sunghoon
Your brotherâs eyes widen for a moment before clearing his throat.
âI was okay with the relationship but having to see it is something Iâll have to get used toâ Your brother mumbled and that was more than enough to catch both of your attentions
âWhat did you say?â You question your brother and you could see the scoff bubbling in him before he let it out
âYou canât possibly think the two of you were actually hiding your relationship?â Your brother started to laugh at the thought and you and Sunghoon turned to each other with wide eyes
You waited for your brother to come down from his laughter and when he finally did, you questioned him.
âYou knew? For how long?â
âEver since Sunghoon snuck out of my room to go to yoursâ Sunghoon nearly fainted at the realization, that was over five months ago when he went to confront to you
You and Sunghoon remained silent for a moment and your brother realized that it wasnât the best time to catch the two of you. He sighed deeply before rubbing his temple.
âSunghoon isnât necessarily good at hiding his love for youâ Sunghoon was quick to shoot a glare to your brother for his remark as he only shrugged his shoulders
âOnly saying the truth, you would always mention her whenever we were at. Saying stuff like âOh she would like thisâ or âThis would be nice for herâ. It was easy to put the pieces togetherâ
âI didnât want to confront you on it because I wanted to wait until the two of you were ready to tell meâ
âI let you guys have your freedom and peace pretending I was oblivious to it even though Sunghoon made it nearly impossible, I triedâ
âI genuinely thought Sunghoon was running errands hence why I sent him the list. I didnât expect for him to actually still be hereâ Your brother explained and you could only shake your head before groaning, you practically feel Sunghoon emitting remorse for being so obvious
âBut you arenât mad?â Sunghoon finally asked the question the two of you have been waited to be answered
âOf course not. I was a little annoyed having to wait and act oblivious but I realized it was what made the two of you comfortable so it was fineâ
âI hate to admit it but I actually care about her. Sheâs my sister before anything, especially before our friendship. So just donât hurt her Sunghoon, keep her happyâ Your brother put out a hand for his best friend to shake and Sunghoon was happy to firmly shake hands
âI wouldnât dare hurt herâ You found yourself smiling to yourself and thatâs when you caught Sunghoonâs eyes with your own, the smile growing on his face was enough for you to grab his free hand into yours
âDefinitely try to keep whatever this is to a minimumâ Your brother motioned to you and Sunghoonâs intertwined hands and that caused you to laugh
âGot itâ With that your brother gave a last genuine smile, which was something you donât really see often so it was rather nice to witness
When your brother left, Sunghoon was quick to wrap an arm around you before placing a kiss against your cheek. You giggled at his actions and you didnât realize you giggled louder than how you usually would.
âI said keep it to a minimum! And tell Sunghoon to hurry up and get the list!â Your brother yelled from somewhere else and that caused the two of you to laugh
âI think heâs fine with the relationshipâ Sunghoon muttered and you nodded your head in agreement
âSo you talked about me a lot huh?â You teased and he groaned loudly, you giggled before moving some of his hair away from his face
âItâs cute that you couldnât seem to hide your love for meâ You smiled and Sunghoon scoffed before rolling his eyes
âYouâre one to talk about hiding loveâ
You nodded your head, muttering a small âI knowâ. The rest of the moment was settled with a comfortable silence as the two of you just stayed in each otherâs embrace.
You never expected to have Sunghoon as yours but it seems that your hidden love was returned by him and he beyond over the moon to be able to be called yours.
Neither of you knew what would be in store now that your relationship was known but for now, you were to experience it to the fullest with each other.
âIt was a good hidden love while it lasted but letâs finally be open mhm?â

Black Myth: Wukong rant because Iâm just⌠so tired of you people.
I hate the community this game has cultivated. I hate looking through the tags and seeing people tearing each other apart over a game based on a story I love.
Thereâs two stances:
Those who say that merely interacting with the game is in support of all the terrible things the developers have (allegedly) done. Who parade accusations that many have stated were mistranslated and that the situation is far more complicated than it appears.
Those who mock the former by making a straw man of their concerns while simultaneously displaying their misogyny, racism, homophobia, and general traits that make it clear theyâve never touched a woman in their life.
One is slightly more tolerable than the other. Neither make me feel welcome in enjoying this project Iâve been looking forward to for years.
I will be talking more about purple, because I donât speak Chinese, and feel that I have no authority speaking too much on orange.
Purple people are beyond insufferable.
I think that most of this came from a Screen Rant review that listed one of the gameâs flaws as âa lack of diversity.â This is an accurate analysis, and has been warped beyond belief.
I can understand the outrage⌠a bit. When playing a game surrounding Chinese culture, in which you play as an inhuman character fighting equally inhuman enemies, it doesnât make too much sense to request racial representation. And when there isnât any romance, representation for sexual orientations also wouldnât work. Including anything in those merit would feel forced and out of place, I agree.
But you wanna know what the reviewer wrote?
She was concerned about the lack of women.
She felt unwelcome when playing a game made by rumoured misogynists because there were no women at all.
And she explicitly said that the game was still enjoyable despite this.
She gave it such a âlow scoreâ (3/5) because of the performance issues and repetitiveness. By her own rating, the game was listed as âWorth a shot despite its flaws.â
Everything got so bad they had to take down her name for her safety.
People in the purple category took this review to mean that the âwoke leftâ was âpushing an agendaâ and âtrying to cancel this game for not having pansexual nonbinary black people.â Which, as Iâm sure you can now understand, was not the case. The boycott surrounding this game is purely based on accusations targeted towards the developers, not the gameâs content.
Of course, I donât expect many of the aforementioned people in this category to care too much. Iâve seen the Steam reviews where they praise the lack of women. Iâve read the Reddit threads where they feel grateful that thereâs âfinally a company who understands the male authority.â Iâve scrolled through post after post on Tumblr that âno one would want to play a game where females jiggle their tits around while doing nothing.â
That last one gets me. Itâs really telling what you can learn about a person when they say things like that.
The point is, these people make me feel very unwelcome in a community that previously made me most comfortable.
So letâs recap:
The people who I would find community with are portraying the mere interest in this game as a sin thatâs worthy of being blocked and shamed over, and the people who are actually in this community remind me why Iâm terrified to walk alone.
I have a lot more that I want to say on this, but I donât really have the words quite yet, and still need to do a fair amount of research (which I probably wonât be doing because holy shit Iâm so done with this). Maybe Iâll come back and add some more, but for now I just might block the tag entirely.
I just feel shitty âsâall Ę
ďźââżâďźĘ
#this is a cry for help can a normal fan please find this post and mutual me#note that this post is about extremists and if youâre an orange person whoâs cautiously enjoying the game despite the drama#Iâm still vibing with you#itâs just that apparently the only people in this community are extremists#I also wanna make it clear Iâve been exclusively watching play throughs so I havenât given a dime to the devs#black myth wukong#why canât this fandom do silly things. like point out that the acronym is BMW and draw monkeys in cars
