Btw if anyone is wondering in my au the numbers on their cheeks are arabs numbers not roman numerals
Why?
Well you see,, these guys are losers.
The roman numerals version fucks too much and 9 years old who grew on the court aren't going to think about numerals (well, actually, maybe kevin would because he is a history nerd. But he's not making the decisions) they are going to think of jerseys . So.
Unfortunately that's how it goes.
#perfect court!AU#L in the chat for these 9 yo#can you imagine sticking with a tattoo design you choose at 9? lmao#i'd have to become an hermit#14yo jean is fighting for his life in this group#no it's not cool wtf is wrong with yall#18 YO ANDREW is so done#“is this what my life has come to?”#brother do i _really_ want to put you through med school?#this siblings things could be more casual yknow#a 5. on my face#*calls wymack* yeah hello#i want to switch teams#riko moriyama#kevin day#the art with numerals goes so hard though ughhhh i'm in no way shitting on it or on any work where thats decision

Naruto Episode Comments, Ep 21-30
Ep 21:
-wow Gaara is tiny
-Gaara and Sasuke are immediately having an edgelord-off bc of course they are
-Iruka is such a worried dad
-I love Kakashi so much
-I love how Lee talks, it’s so earnest
-I also like Tenten’s voice
Ep 22:
-Lee is so fucking goofy I love him
-also I didn’t know Lee had a giant crush on Sakura
-I do like Sasuke but him getting his shit rocked by Lee was really satisfying
-GAI I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
-Gai’s voice is exactly what I thought it would be and I love it
-I need a spinoff about Team Gai and I need it NOW (yes I know the Rock Lee spinoff exists and I WILL be watching it)
-Gai’s stupid poses are incredible
Ep 23:
-aw Kakashi is so proud of his squad😭
-“Akimichi, more like Aki-munchy” is CRAZY
-Akamaru is so CUTEEEEEE
-anyways Naruto is such a fucking hater to all the other rookies
-I can’t get over Kiba casually walking around with a puppy on his head
-Shino is so drippy. Also his voice wasn’t what I expected
-unrelated to anything in the episode but the sand siblings have such cool designs
Ep 24:
-“I don’t know where the others are sitting!” Naruto says, sitting two rows ahead of Sakura
-shoutout to Sakura for being the only one actually smart enough to take the test without cheating
-respectfully how the FUCK did Tenten not get caught cheating. I can get past Ino and Neji not getting caught (since even though their powers are pretty obvious, they only have to cheat once or twice to get the info they need)- but fucking TENTEN????
-Kiba’s cheating method is potentially okay-ish, since only he seems to be able to understand Akamaru so it may just seem like the dog making little noises instead of passing him answers, but he really shouldn’t have even been allowed to have Akamaru with him in the first place
-also Shino had the best cheating method out of the Konoha kids hands down
Ep 25:
-Kurenai is so pretty and also I like her voice
-I like that Sakura was going to quit the test in order to force Naruto to fail with her and thus prevent him from potentially losing his chance at his dream, you could really tell she does care about him deep down
-aw Ibiki is actually kinda chill, I like him
-I also already like Anko, she has unhinged energy
Ep 27:
-Naruto continues to be a gremlin
-“Survival. What a drag.” So real Shikamaru
-I’m torn between being annoyed that Ino and Sakura are fighting over a boy and being highly entertained by their pettiness
-Hinata sweetie Naruto does NOT give a shit about you right now
-Team 10’s dynamic is really just Ino wrangling Shikamaru and Choji
-Shikamaru is so scrawny-looking lmao
-Akamaru looks so holdable<3
-so like Kiba, Shino, and Hinata totally killed those guys right??? Congrats to them for being the first rookies to kill someone lol
Ep 28:
-okay Sasuke kick-launching a kunai was badass
-I could do without all the tongue shit thank you very much
-I’m glad that even though Sasuke is the cool rival character he’s still allowed to feel fear and desperation, it’s humanizing and reminds you that he’s still a kid (a kid that also happens to have God eyes and shoots fire but yknow a kid nonetheless)
-Naruto getting digested by a snake was not on my bingo card of things that would happen in this arc
-Sasuke stabbing himself was metal as hell
-Jesus fucking Christ snake lady (who I’m assuming is Orochimaru based on what I know about him) is terrifying
Ep 29:
-Naruto really has no sense of self-preservation
-seeing Sasuke so shaken-up is very off-putting but also makes Orochimaru feel like a properly intense threat
-oh so Sasuke is like legit traumatized
-also Sakura was yelling at Sasuke to fight, but she also wasn’t fighting so that was pretty hypocritical lmao
Ep 30:
-I like that Sasuke says the episode title instead of Naruto for this episode
-the animation is popping OFF
-Sasuke continues to be badass and also completely willing to roast someone alive
-EW OROCHIMARU FUCKING BIT SASUKE WTF
-yeah I need Orochimaru gone ASAP
-I noticed that the symbol on Orochimaru’s headband changed to the Sound symbol, which was a cool detail
-respectfully I’m gonna need Sakura to start being more useful to the team. Can this pleeeease be her chance to step up
-I wonder if Anko’s snake shit and Orochimaru’s snake shit are related, since he was apparently her sensei
-Sasuke really cannot catch a fuckin break in this show

How do you think Johnny would do with a s/o who has a big family and they all seem kinda off? Like they all seem weird and seem like the type to have bodies in their basement while reader is all smiles and jokes :0
ooo this is very interesting. im not sure if you meant that reader doesn't know how weird their family is, or if they do and they're just a really good actor, but i'll write a little something for both instances!
For reader who knows that they're being weird, i'll include a ~ before the passage.
For reader who doesn't understand, I'll include two ~~
Johnny OBVIOUSLY has experience with weird family members and weird family member hobbies. he is, yknow, a kidnapper, serial killer, cannibal after all. (we love him for it tho)
He's also really not sure about your proposal for him to meet your family. but, also. he does.. well, you propose for him to meet your parents, and he just wants to propose. something he NEVER imagined he would be thinking of.
and it is the southern way to get the dad's blessing. he wouldn't even consider meeting your parents otherwise. But, after like a month and a half of you pleading with him, he finally agrees. he goes over for the fourth of July, and he's expecting it to just be your parents, maybe a younger sibling or two, but oh, oh no.
Its your parents, two sets of grandparents, three younger siblings, two aunts, one uncle, four nephews and two nieces.
He. is. lost. Overwhelmed. He thought he came from a large family, but no, nononono, you absolutely had him beat. You didn't even attempt to warn him! You were used to this, and didn't even think that maybe that's a lot of pressure for a guy who lowkey wants to marry you, and therefore be on good terms with your family.
The thing is, they hardly seem like your family. the reason Johnny was so intrigued by you, and attached to you, in the first place was because you were just so goddamn optimistic. PAINFULLY so. like, it was annoying how he could hear you nonstop encouraging the other victims when he'd first captured you.
You are talkative, and sunny, and annoying, to an extent. he loves you, of course, but he remembers being so irritated with you when he first brought you back to the house. he got used to it over time, and now he finds it adorable, but your family is so...
Stare-y. And whisper-y. And... creepy? He doesn't want to be mean, and he definitely feels like something is wrong. he reassures himself that its just because he's new, and he's probably just being paranoid. but he remembers how his family acted when he brought you around-- or, more so how Drayton and nubbins acted, and he is seeing quite the resemblance between them and your family.
Meanwhile, you're still as vibrant and giddy as ever, clearly excited at the opportunity. at what a big moment this is. and Johnny puts on a (clearly nervous) smile for you, casually greeting people and being met with short introductions and stiff, cold handshakes.
When he meets your parents, they look at him like he's the prey. and that is NOT a feeling he is used to, or one that he enjoys. His palms are sweaty, and it is not due to the heat. he feels like he's meeting mafia bosses, but you run up and hug them like its nothing. like they aren't literal final bosses.
Johnny is terrified, frankly, but he proceeds. he greets them, thanks them for having him, shakes their hands, introduces himself, etc. and they ask questions. he's still anxious, but he doesn't mind answering. they ask sort of... weird questions.
Like, the kind of questions that might come up in casual conversation, but not the kind that you ask right after meeting someone. Does he drink? Does he have his own car? Has he ever been out of the country? What's his blood type?
"Okay! That's enough," you laugh, cutting into his conversation with them, awkwardly dragging him aside. Once you're out in the hallway, you clear your throat.
~ "Sorry about them, they're just worried," you'd chuckle, placing a hand on his shoulder to reassure him, your trademark smile on your face. "My sister's been wanting to meet you for a while now. Follow me."
~~ "I'm sure they just wanna know who the guy is that I've been gushing about to them for so long," you'd laugh nervously, gulping right after. "Hey, how about we go meet my sister? She's been asking nonstop about you!"
He'd follow, not really having much of a choice if he wants to stay by your side, and he definitely does not want to be alone right now. When you eventually do find your sister, she looks him up and down, sizing him up. Without addressing him, she asks "That's the one?" with an almost snarky tone.
Johnny, trying his best to win over your family still, steps forward and addresses her, introducing himself to her directly. She looks a little disgusted by this, and doesn't shake his hand.
"How long are you guys gonna be here?" She'd ask, still talking to you.
~ "He's here for the fireworks," you'd grin.
~~ "Sis, please. You're being rude," you'd gently remind, nudging her shoulder.
She replied with an eyeroll, waving her hand. "Whatever."
Once she'd walked away, Johnny looked over at you, a small frown. "Did I do something wrong?" he'd ask, glancing around the backyard full of people. Immediately, you reassured him, letting him know that they were just really not used to visitors, and he didn't want to pry.
You'd ask him if he would prefer to leave early, but he immediately denied. He didn't want to back down, didn't wanna seem weak. He wanted to show your family he wasn't going to be scared off. that he was actually very committed to you.
It was embarrassing for him to admit to himself, but he supposed it was worth it. When the time came for dinner, everyone gathered outside, surrounding a barbeque that cast out an alluring scent of burgers. A little after dinner was served, Johnny asked where the bathroom was, and you gave him directions. You offered to show him, but he said he'd be fine.
Everyone was outside, which meant he wouldn't need to worry about being killed, or interrogated, or yelled at if he left your side. there was no telling what was going to happen.
When he got inside, he had a bit of trouble finding it, and he walked past the kitchen, catching a very... very familiar scent. He sniffed again, following his nose over to a sink, where he found an entire goddamn femur.
Any normal person would have gagged, or maybe just straight up vomited, screamed, something-
but Johnny smirked, and then scoffed. He stood there for a moment before finally turning around and managing to find the bathroom. When he returned to your side, he nudged you, whispering, "You didn't tell me your family was the same."
You'd look at him, giving him an almost blank stare. Your eyes slightly narrowed, your brows a little furrowed, your lips barely parted. "Johnny..?" You'd ask.
"What?"
"We... literally killed someone last Tuesday," you'd remind, your words coming out slowly, trying to spark his memory like you were talking to an amnesiac turtle.
"Well, yeah, but you didn't tell me your family was that way too," he sighed, rolling his eyes. "No wonder they were so hesitant. Do they know?"
"I- I think so. I mean, I didn't explicitly tell them, but I kinda figured they'd assume since we've been together for so long and you're still alive," you mumbled, giving a half-hearted shrug. Locating your dad a few feet away, you dragged Johnny over towards him, poking your father on the arm. "Dad?"
He looked Johnny up and down, and then looked to you. "What is it?"
"You do realize he's like us, right?"
He looked surprised, and you immediately let out a sigh, feeling awful and incredibly awkward. "Man, I figured you'd figured it out. Yeah, he eats people too."
"I thought you were bringing us back dinner," your dad laughed, outstretching a hand and shaking Johnny's again. Johnny let out a tense chuckle, shaking the older man's hand.
"Sorry for the confusion, sir," Johnny spoke, doing his best to hide his southern accent. It wasn't a great attempt, but it was certainly an attempt.
"In that case, welcome to the family, son."

I Hate You, Be My Girlfriend: Part Three (Damian Wayne x Reader)
Warnings: Again, bad Barbara characterization.
Word Count: 1,676
Summary: You finally meet Damian's family, and everything goes according to plan...until it doesn't?
You both got out of his car, stumbling your way to the daunting gates of Wayne Manor hand-in-hand. Unlike the other times Damian had returned to his childhood home, Alfred was not there to greet him with the dutiful smile he always carried. It was just another reminder of how much things have changed since he was 13, everything except him.
His home loomed over him like a pitch black shadow, the lights that cascaded around the green hedges created an ominous glow. Never in Damian’s life had his father’s house felt as huge as it did now. He subconsciously pulled you in closer just so he could feel the warmth of your skin. You turned to him, eyes broad and dilated, the reflection of the inside lights almost making it seem like they were sparkling.
“We aren’t even inside yet and I am already amazed! I can’t even imagine living in a place this huge!” You giggled like a frenzied child who had just experienced snow.
The path to the manor’s main door felt like the calm before a storm with every step he was taking feeling like his own death march. One wrong move by either of you and you could be busted. His pride would be demolished and, well, you would be known as the poor unfortunate soul who made the deal with the Devil.
What annoyed Damian even further was the fact that you seemed so awestruck with your surroundings that you couldn’t even bother to be worried like he was. Didn’t you understand that your reputation was on the line too? It was unbelievably frustrating, but what was even more frustrating was the fact that whenever he looked at you to scold you for it, his throat would clog up and he would suddenly remember how nice it felt to be holding your hand.
“Do I look okay? You keep looking at me funny…” You asked softly.
Damian scoffed, his face burning. “You look…fine…I just don’t understand how you look so calm.”
He absolutely despised how you looked at him as if you understood his whole being. “Oh. I guess I’m just excited about meeting your family.” You gave him another smile. “Plus, yknow, it’s not hard pretending to love..people…”
There was a noticeable pressure in his chest when Damian heard those words, as if he was having heart palpitations, except heart palpitations never felt so torturously delightful. It only worsened when you continued to give him that adorable grin. The best decision seemed to ignore what he was feeling, especially since there was a more pressing matter at hand.
Just in case all else failed, Damian made sure to create several fool proof contingency plans he could lay back on. He took one final breath before walking up the last few steps of the porch and grasping the golden doorknob, knocking on the dark wood.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dick happened to be the one who let you guys into the enormous Manor, which you still were amazed at even if Damian gave you a side glare every few minutes. The older brother gave you a quick tour of the first floor which followed up with the most stressful game of 20 questions you had ever played. The questions were simple at first - how did you two meet and what classes are you taking in college? Once you met Damian’s other siblings though was when the questions became harder to answer without becoming an oozing puddle or exploding into a kaleidoscope of butterflies.
What did Damian do to gain your attention and by God, what made you want him out of all the other potential bachelors lining up on your doorstep.
As if there were any other bachelors waiting on your doorstep.
Thankfully, Damian was there to smooth out all the details with that casual suave charm he had - a charm that you are now realizing belongs to most of the members of his family. It was getting hard not to become antsy when Damian smiled so lovingly at you, all the while explaining the embarrassingly (and true) story of how you met in the library and how he had helped you get out from under a bookshelf that had fallen on top of you. Granted, it was a shelf that you had scaled because the particular book you wanted was on the top shelf, thus making it impossible for you to get. Still, it would have been nice to create a more romantic first meet story rather than just being pictured like an idiot. Although, you supposed, this was Damian and he would take any and every opportunity for you to look like an idiot.
Other than that, everything seemed to be going according to plan. It seemed like Damian’s family liked you, and most importantly, they showed no sign of suspicion towards your guys’ relationship. His family was a little odd though, and you couldn’t help but wonder how Bruce Wayne managed to adopt so many chaotic and unique children in a row.
You had met Dick first; He was the oldest there and seemed to keep the peace between everyone else in the family. His hair was dark, but you couldn’t tell if it was a deep brown or black and his eyes were a disturbingly bright blue. He was charming and easy to talk to, instantly making you feel like you were already part of the family. It was clear why Barbara loved him so much.
You had met Tim next, who seemed to be at a loss at your appearance. Damian couldn’t help smirking at his face. Out of everyone, he was the most suspicious of you and Damian’s relationship, even stating how Damian seemed too sugary and sweet to be natural. Other than that, he seemed nice enough. The brothers seemed to have a love-hate relationship, most of which being perpetuated by Damian while Tim continued to play the tired and irritated older brother. Despite being the CEO of Wayne enterprise, he seemed so young, his face carrying the wrinkles and eyebags of a 50 year old.
There were three girls at the dining table. You were introduced to all of them - Stephanie, Barbara and Cassandra - but you talked the most to Stephanie, a blonde who was the closest to your age. She was really ecstatic to see Damian “in love” and she jokingly asked if he would propose to you soon. You managed to laugh off the proposition while Damian’s eyebrows creased as if he was actually considering it. Cassandra was quiet while Barbara exuded a confident quick-wittedness to her that made you feel she could point out everything you were doing wrong in your life.
Eventually Alfred and who you assumed to be Jason came out with delicious smelling food, the latter of which grumbling about how no one else helped out because he was the only competent one in the kitchen. Damian had always depicted Jason as the black sheep of the family but you weren’t ever sure why. Other than having a chunk of his hair dyed a pearlescent white, he seemed fairly normal.
“Where’s father? Isn’t he supposed to be here?” Damian’s voice was quiet but maintained a steely undertone. Everyone shared a look with each other, then back at you, as if they were all in on a secret and you were the only one left out.
“He uh, he’s getting things situated before we all leave tomorrow afternoon.” Tim hesitantly said.
Damian leaned back in his chair, his face pulled into an unsatisfied scowl. “Of course he is.”
Damian never opened up to you about his relationship with his father, but it was safe to say that they weren’t that close. You and him never shared the type of relationship in which he could be vulnerable with you, but it felt imperative that you were there for him, even if he was uncomfortable with it.
You gently put your hand on top of his seeing as how it calmed him down before, swallowing all the nervousness you had and kissed his cheek. You tried your best to make it seem seamless and natural, but it most likely wasn’t. “I’m sure we’ll get to see him tomorrow morning, Dami.”
The look Damian gave you melted your heart. It was a mix between staggered and confused, like a deer caught in the middle of the road about to be hit by a truck.
“Jeez, get a room you two! You’re worse than the engaged couple!” Jason laughed.
“Do you see how red they are, it’s like they haven’t kissed before!” Tim argued, still mildly suspicious.
That seemed to knock some sense back into Damian’s bewildered state, looking to Drake than back at you. His face lit up dangerously. “Shut up Drake, of course I have kissed my girlfriend.”
“Uh huh, so it wouldn’t be a problem if you two kissed right now?” The water you had previously been drinking almost surged out of your mouth, your eyes wide.
“I-I…Dami..Damian isn’t really a fan of public affection like that and-” Damian squeezed your hand again, causing you to stop mid sentence.
“Hush, beloved. It’s just one simple kiss. We’ve done way worse stuff before.” He husked. You did your best to keep the not-so-clean thoughts out of mind when he mentioned the last part. Damian swiftly pulled you closer to the point where you were half in your chair, half sprawled on his lap. “Plus, if I get to prove Tim wrong, then it’s just a bonus.”
Your body was completely on fire, every single touch Damian graced you with sending fireworks bursting along your skin. Breath was in short supply and you were pretty sure your hands were becoming clammy with sweat. He titled your chin up with his forefinger and thumb, looking down at you as if he really did love you. You tried not to let the possibility of it being true drown you. It was an impossible task, especially when you can feel his gentle lips barely gracing yours.
You were doomed.
MwahahahahAHAHAHahahhahahAH
I am evil >:)
Writing part three really was a demonstration of patience and trusting the writing process, and how taking breaks are necessary. Four hours ago, I felt like banging my head against a wall at how terrible this originally was and it wasn't until I stepped away, took a nice bath and baked some cookies that I everything started to click into place.
But I am extremely tired and am going to pass out in the next five seconds.
Lastly, here is my awesome and amazing taglist!

yapping about how i approached translating karamatsu's brand new world. just discussing the localization liberties i took and other things i think are interesting. i just love yapping sorry
part 3/4 because i forgot about tumblr post image limits lol
CHAPTER 8
as you probably know if you watch anime, in japanese they say いっただきまーす before they eat a meal. english has no colloquial equivalent so they usually just translate it as "thanks for the meal!" because something like "down the hatch!" comes off as quite goofy and old-fashioned. luckily, THESE characters ARE goofy and old-fashioned, so i get to use it.
if it were solely up to me i think "cuz I'm the oldest" would've been a more natural english-speaking sibling thing to say here. but source material LOVES saying eldest so i left it as that
todomatsu says "you're kicking up dust" here. this is where cultural knowledge in translation is important.... i just kind of assumed that this is colloquially used the same way as "making a mess", but im not actually sure, this was just a guess. so i wish i had that cultural knowledge lol
admitting my weakness: i have no idea what bro was talking about here. i made my best guess based off what nonsense i could glean from this as well as the chinese fantranslation. sorry
admitting my whimsy: i had no reason to localize todomatsu into talking annoyingly here i just kinda wanted to. sorry
CHAPTER 9
the dialogue here is more literally "The one who showed me that was--". this doesn't sound that unnatural, and i probably could've stuck with it (if it was song lyrics i definitely wouldve gone with that lol), but i thought "something I learned from--" felt a bit more natural of a sentence to be cut off (i feel like an english speaker would say "ichimatsu was the one who showed me that", y'know?)
in the first panel, ichi says "let's go/return home". but it doesnt fit in this itty bitty speech bubble, and also is not quiiite as colloquial in english? (in this kind of casual context i think it would be more like "let's head out" yknow :?), so i just did "let's go". but then later he literally does say "let's go", which i can't use again, so i shifted this to "c'mon!" even though it's slightly less faithful of a translation for that phrase... but it's for da sake of the overall meaning. welcome to da translator's dilemma
personal pronoun moment! though the karamatsu we know and love uses オレ, a confident and bold personal pronoun, high school karamatsu uses 僕, a polite and reserved pronoun. again no english equivalent so this kind of subtlety in characterization is just kinda lost foreveerrrrr and needs to be made up in other ways
(as a side note ichi uses the same おれ pronoun in hs as in the current day, though. it fits his casual, laid-back high school personality and also his current low-energy, slacker personality. da versatility. very interesting)
a little look into my sick and twisted mind process
"remaining empty / will you be this way forever?"
remaining is too long to fit in this speech bubble, so im shortening it to "staying empty"
"will you be this way forever" doesn't sound very natural to me. "do you plan on" feels more direct and accusatory (as asserted by ichi's use of よ here) so let's use that
"do you plan on staying that way forever?" is a very nice sentence! but i already used "staying" in the first speech bubble. curses
the last thing ichi asked was "why are you still alive", and is about to say "just die", so i think bringing back "living" here wouldn't be too off-base, right? it's a similar meaning.... even though it wasnt insinuated in the text.....
it's fine no one will know
this translation is from the source material. but a bit of potential double meaning here that maybe was lost: 逆に means like, "on the contrary" or "conversely", so can mean something closer to, "(if you just plan on staying empty), you might as well just die instead!" which i think is a slightly different vibe than "actually" and is also neeeat
okay one more part to come just for chapter 10 i guess
part 1 / part 2 / part 3 / part 4

Kill the crown/ jttw headcanons!
Foreword: this takes place in my universe— Au— storyline whatever thing! Which is inspired by/ a sequel ( highly debatable lmao) to journey to the west! So enjoy with that!
( also I’m not finished with the books so some information maaaaybe wrong until I yknow- finish ALL FOUR VERY LONG BOOKS)
Demon run kingdoms are uncommon, but not unheard of. Most humans will casually just avoid those kingdoms even if it causes travel delays. The Kingdom of The Eastern Sun & The Crescent Moon Kingdom are the two most well known examples of an openly demonic kingdom and civilization.
The Kingdom of The Eastern Sun ( KES) is rather welcoming to human visitors, a few even being permanent residents under the Emperor’s watchful eye. Since humans are rare, they aren’t a primary food source in the kingdom compared to animals like pigs. ( it’s said that pork is surprisingly close to human, just sweeter!)
The sister kingdom, Crescent Moon Kingdom… is not so kind to human travelers.
All the spiritual primates are born from rocks. Of course the type of rock is variant from monkey to monkey, but they all go under the label of stone monkey.
Heng, the immortal baboon was “hatched” from a stone smoothed from centuries under a waterfall.
Min-Yáng, the celestial gibbon ( she prefers this to “long armed gibbon”) was hatched from limestone at the break of dawn, the auspicious light hitting her stone-egg just right after years of her stone sitting a top a hill in the middle of a field.
The six eared macaque, Luhan broke free from his mountain-rock egg during an eclipse, the sun blacked out from the sky and the world hushed. Climbing down the mountain was easy, so was finding shelter.
Luhan has narcissism.
Fun fact! Narcissism is caused by trauma!
Sun Wukong, the most infamous stone monkey of all: was born from the same rock that his home was made from, the same type that lush green forests fill, and fertile soil lays on: basalt. Filled with holes, but basalt.
Heng is the oldest stone monkey, and tries his best to act like he is very mature.
Luhan makes that very difficult.
Luhan is the youngest stone monkey.
Yue (Min-Yáng’s second eldest daughter) is a half demon. Along with all her siblings. This means that instead of having a diet like a monkey like the other primates— she and her siblings all have a demonic diet.
Yue has never eaten a human, instead eating pork or venison.
Luhan and Wukong are the only two spiritual primates who have eaten human.
Heng cannot eat meat, his stomach only able to handle vegetarian foods. ( Geladas are strictly vegetarian monkeys).
During his time in the furnace and mountain, Wukong was “purified” from eating human— allowing him to preform magic that he couldn’t otherwise do.
Luhan was purified from eating humans and cannibalism after he was brought back from the dead.
Tripitaka for my own sake is named Tang Sanzang.
He is 18 when he starts the ✨journey to the west✨
He is 32 when the journey ends.
He is a very stressed man.
HE MEETS AND HAS TO DEAL WITH WUKONG AT 18!
Wukong told him about the three ( now two) other primates and he fainted.
The idea of more monkeys like Wukong was just too much for him, especially after just dealing with Luhan beating and robbing him.
Luhan adores theater in any form. He loves preforming, telling stories and the attention of an adoring crowd. Whether villain or hero, even the love interest- he could play any role and enjoy it; drawing the crowd in.
Guanyin is a surprisingly good mentor despite technically kidnapping Red-son and that bear demon allllll the way back. / lh
Guanyin is above gender concepts, especially when she can change into literally any form: man, woman, child, probably animal. Whatever form helps a person learn the dharma, the bodhisattva will take that form.
Heng loves insects, especially beetles. He’s the kind of baboon who will pick up a random bug and show it off to his family and tell them fun facts about said bug.
Li —Yue’s youngest brother— finds this cool as heck. Like all four year olds.
Yue prefers learning about plants.
Bojing, the emperor of the Kingdom of The Eastern Sun, hates bugs. He’d much rather his brother in law keep those nasty creatures out of his palace walls.
Min-Yáng deals with spiders if they somehow make it into their room.
Red son is actually surprisingly calm, enjoying his time with Guanyin as his teacher. He even keeps his bracelets on, as a reminder of where he had started.
He still visits his parents when he can, mostly his mother.
If a Buddha is killed, they have the choice to go to nirvana or reincarnate. At the expense of having to reach enlightenment again… which can take lifetimes.
And let’s end it on that note!
A very non-ominous note, of course. I’ll be sure to drop more proper lore soon!

WAIT I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS
I've been thinking about kinship terms and forms of address in my fictional cultures and I wanna hear about them in tcol
yknow, this is actually a really good question. i haven't gotten fully into the weeds on culture building yet + unfortunately not all of us can be linguists (side eyeing tolkien like-) so take part of what i'm thinking about with a grain of salt!!!!
however, i think in general people are most likely to call each other by their names when it comes to siblings. casual nicknames occasionally (ie; all of ensio's siblings call him 'en') but like there's no specific "veneration" or "respect" for elder siblings, or elders in general. respect is given based on position or personal fondness/value towards the speaker, so there aren't like honorifics that much.
in fact, i don't think terrae has that many honorifics in general? there are titles when it comes to government entities and positions of power, but most of the time, people are called by their name. its a very... collaborative culture. going along with the handshaking ask i had many moons ago where people tend to grip each other by the shoulders instead of bowing to one another in greeting.
i think this has to do with the very real presence of deities and oracles especially. because even the royal family isn't chosen by birth succession (though it does tend to happen, its not so often that its wholly guaranteed), so why treat someone as beneath you or as having a lower status than you when they could deadass be your king tomorrow you don't know. (not to say that people don't. but i'm talking about on average LMAO). so most people go by their names with each other, which influences the fact that its seen as disrespectful to intentionally name someone directly after someone else (like same name. you can't have a john & john jr situation for instance), and why diminuitives are so popular.
in terms of like titles... i'm boring lol. i may think of better names when i have a brain to start delving into the culture (i'm more focused on what happened and worldbuilding broad elements and systems rn vs like. style of dress and customs rip) so right now most of the honorifics are "king, queen, lord, lady etc" though i will say that there is only ever a main king of lathsbury. king in their word is gender neutral to mean essentially at the top of the food chain or the main person in charge. there's also no restrictions on gender regarding who rules bc everything is oracle based. so this leads us to having things like in the first/second age there were several femme main rulers who were all called king (ie: devorah, blythe, clandestine, dawn, technically anele of kairos but he's bigender so there's that as well).

Could I request nct 127 getting jealous or nct 127 as tropes?
Luv your work btw ❤️
Thank you I appreciate it sugar! <3 anyways here's nct 127 as tropes!! Ngl this turned into a whole book😭😭
NCT 127 AS TROPES
TAEIL
Definitely opposites attract. Taeil is known for being on the more timid side and not causing much of chaos but you were the other side of that. You two were Ying and Yang of human love. Something abt that made Taeil's fall in love with you, he saw you as someone so lively and free he wanted that to be apart of his life. He started out with wanted to know more about your interests to learn more about you to doing those activities with you vice versa.
JOHNNY
Best friend's brother, BRO IT JUST MAKES SENSE!! Like you be chilling at your best friends house giggling with them and then you see johnny walk into his siblings room with just his sweat pants on saying "do you have any more deodorant?" You stared at him (his abs) while his wet hair dripped on his shoulder, his sibling lazily pointed at the deodorant on their dresser and he walked over to get it. Honestly you couldn't stop staring and before he left he winked at you causing a smile to appear on your face.
TAEYONG
Oblivious to love, Sorry love but you'd be the oblivious one. Taeyong is very shy guy, and it takes him long to drop hints to you that he's interested. He needed johnny to help him since he knows johnny isn't afraid to tell any of his crushes how he feels abt them, Taeyong had jumped out of his comfort zone to do hints that he likes but there was no avail. You had thought taeyong was bring a sweetheart to you, you had wished it meant he loved you WHICH HE DID but you didn't suspect that. Oblivion at its finest.
YUTA
Fwb to lovers, UGH ITS JUST WRITTEN ALL OVER THIS POOR FOOL😭 you and yuta swore off that you would only purely be fwb, keep it casual. No literally, after one of your romantic nights you guys held your hand up and both said "I swear." But Yuta bit his own tongue once he saw how you carried yourself day to day, he started being more romantic yknow the classic holding hands thing going out of his way to make you happy. You two one night were high as a kite and after a couple laughs yuta had leaned in kissing you passionately before breaking the number one rule "never say I love you" and he did just that.
DOYOUNG
Second chance love, You and Doyoung were once a happy couple but unfortunately ended in shambles. During an argument before the break-up, You called Doyoung a control freak and that he needs to get therapy while he called you selfish. Both of you had some right claims and wrong, after 2 years of not seeing him here or there you admittedly missed him. Your dreams were fulfilled when you saw him again when you started working at this office, you were in the elevator and as it stopped on the 3rd floor you saw him fix his tie you were shocked to say the least, he was too as he stuttered a "y/n?". That's when you knew it was destiny that brought you back together.
JAEHYUN
Fake Relationship. You and Jaehyun were just coworkers and your company told you to pretend to be together for the attention and of course the money, they knew with your success and admiration around the world mixed with Jaehyun's it would be immaculate. The only problem was that there were no feelings for one another..in the beginning, you two made the deal of only being lovey dovey infront of cameras. But that deal was broken when a drunken night between yourselves, it started from chatting to flirting to touching to kissing to fucking. After that you both didn't know whether or not you wanted this to be official or not
JUNGWOO
Childhood friends to lovers, UGH you guys have been peas in a pod since middle school and jungwoo had always been the shy quiet nerdy boy while you were the popular nice one. He never really knew why you wanted to stay his friend but even in the long distance when you guys grew older you stood up to date with him, you were protective of him since many ppl treated him as an outcast and only a toy. He found you courageous and gorgeous, he always silently admired you not wanting to creep you out. Until on valentines day, Jungwoo was sitting on his couch yet again a lonely love day and he thought abt you already probably on a date or getting pleasure. He heard a knock on his front door and opened the door to see you standing there with a bouquet of flowers and big plushie with a huge box of chocolates, he saw you smiling "will you my valentines?" Jungwoo was very confused, "aren't you already–" "they flunked out on me woo, I want you. Only you." Jungwoo couldn't believe the words coming out your mouth he happily excepted and he definitely made sure he loved you right that night🤭😉.
MARK
Boy next door, yes this is literally mark. You live in duplex and you heard a few of acquaintances in the building talk about this new neighbor, you thought that the neighbor was just really nice until you saw him walk into the apartment next to you with boxes struggling a little bit. Now you knew why they were talking about him, he was a cutie. His puppy eyes with the glasses to match, you giggled a bit from how cute he looked. You wanted to make your grand entrance but you looked like a mess so you fixed yourself up a bit and came back out but before you did he was gone inside his house. You pouted but don't get too sad, the week after you were the one struggling with groceries and Mark had spotted you he suggested for help and you happily obliged. He placed them inside your house, and that's when you introduced yourselves. After that you guys chatted here and there maybe even flirted a bit, but you were walking your dog and happened to run into mark, he had said he was going the same way as you but he was on his way back home clearly but you didn't mind. He offered to go to the Cafe that had outdoor seating, you simply raised an eyebrow and said "it's a date then." You grinned excepting his invite.
HAECHAN
Ok of course haechan is the king of enemies to lovers trope but I also think he's a love triangle guy as well, he could be both. You and haechan had never been the best of friends, you tolerated him only bc you were dating his best friend Jaemin. He couldn't stand the fact you could be liked so quickly and even loved, he thinks your the fakest slut ever (quoted by him). The real reason he didn't like you was because he wanted to be the only you love,cherish, and bang this was not a jealousy towards jaemin he just hated he had those feelings so he took it out on you for it. That was until one night he had like other 100 nights you and jaemin fucking, he couldn't take the bones rising up so he needed to settle this. He had intruded you and jaemins love making, that just made it worse, you had spotted his erection before he could even cover it and go back in his room. Something in your knew this wasn't abt him sleeping peacefully without interruptions, he wanted to join. It only took little convincing until his boxers were off. Then with jaemins permission, you guys started fucking frequently after one of those nights haechan happened to say "I love you" while he came inside you.

i know it was a personal post, but can i ask if you'd be able to give an example of a fanon idea that needs more examining? i'm in the kpts fandom, but it's not something i've ever thought about with particular headcanons...
//looks at this ask like it’s a damn behemoth, especially considering I just spoke with a friend about this.
I’m gonna preface this answer with a disclaimer and say that I’m not here to act as fandom police, nor am I well-versed in Thai culture. I’m not Thai, I’m Filipino. The two cultures are very distinct and different, but there are shared cultural norms, since Thailand and the Philippines are considered part of the SE Asia region.
Play in the fandom as what makes you happy, my dear anon. I’m not here to ruin your fun, I’m just here in my own little sandbox to play with these blorbos with a few select people I’ve come to know as friends.
Having said that, let’s begin with a fanon idea that I'm gonna dissect for you.
There’s a particular fanon idea that Porsche would have been enthusiastically open to having the sex talk with Chay, since Porsche himself is a proud whore (affectionate).
And the sentiments behind that headcanon—for what it’s worth—is nice. I’m definitely for the idea that sex education needs to be more readily available, so that the masses are properly armed with the tools and knowledge they need to live a healthy, sexual life, in whatever form that may be.
Be that as it may, there are a couple of factors that that fanon idea is most likely not taking into account.
And again, just to be clear: I'm not against the idea that Chay knows a lot about sex. What I have issues with is the framing of how he would come to know about sex, his sexual identity, etc. and the cultural context that would surround that situation.
1.) Does the HC take into account that, like most if not all Asian countries, Thailand is a high-context culture? In other words, not just the words being spoken, but body language, tone, gestures, social position, etc.—all these things factor in to what would be a sensitive conversation like the sex talk and is mutually understood between both parties, most times; it’s not something that’s easily translatable, yknow? Due to this, you could ask yourself: Porsche is a sexy slut, but would he deal with Chay as a sibling who casually sleeps around (as an equal), or as an older brother and parent who knows he has the responsibility of keeping Chay happy, safe, fed, and clothed (as one in a position of higher authority)?
2.) Does the HC take into account that, like most Asian countries, talking about sex openly in Thailand is still considered somewhat taboo? Be that as it may, culture is never static. It’s a bit better now with the availability of the internet and the younger generation’s more open mindedness, but it’s still nowhere near as the west’s general social fabric that contains within it something akin to ‘the talk’ for the parents once their kids are of age to talk about that sort of thing. The topic of sex tends to be more easily spoken of and discussed with amongst equal peers, so in which case, I can actually see Chay being more comfortable talking about sex with his friends (Ohm, and even Kim), rather than Porsche.
3) Finally, does the HC take into account that one of SE Asia’s shared cultural norms is the general collective’s mutual goal of trying to maintain social harmony? That to speak openly of sex, to talk about it “enthusiastically” to the point that comedic examples like the cucumber are used, would be seen more as disruptive than anything else? In my opinion, if Porsche were to even talk about sex with Chay, he’d be more likely to point Chay towards books as sources of reliable information, rather than give a crude visual aid. Lol
From my own experience anon, it's much easier to disregard the cultural context of a show like KPTS, because it has the optics of a western tv show: the business suits, the fancy cars, the high rise-buildings. Compared that to a show like The Untamed or a movie like ManSuang, where fans are much more aware to be mindful of the cultural context, because it's set in a historical setting (although in The Untamed, it's more fantasy than anything).
The HC we talked about is harmless enough, yes. But having said that, you now have to ask yourself: is it appropriate and acceptable to disregard the cultural context of KPTS, just because it has the optics of a western tv show?
And frankly, that's something you need to figure out and find the answer for yourself.
So, there you have it. Am I stopping people from having fun with HCs such as the one I talked about? Hell no; fly free, little bird. Do whatever makes you happy in this fandom, and I will do the same.
Is the HC I talked about something I can enjoy as an enjoyer of KPTS and would interact with? Hell no, because said HC is also ignorant in a lot of different ways, and I like playing with my blorbos as accurate as they are in the original show, and in the cultural context I understand the show in.
And this take on Porsche’s character, plus the cultural context I have as an Asian, is not something that matches up at all.

Fuck it it’s MY house I GET to make silly little fics about my fave turtle family. The POV will be in second person, but this is specifically about my insert rather than a generic x reader fic yknow?
I’m gonna try make a head canon/ fic for each member of the family, so everyone will get their own post basically. First up is Mikey.
In the past 5 years of…let’s call it “travelling”, you never expected to find friends, let alone a family
And yet here you are, getting roped into… whatever it is these turtles get roped into
Still, you have to admit, it’s nice not being on your own. Finally having company for once. It takes time to adjust, but eventually you go from bringing your dish to your room and eating alone, to actually joining them at the dinner table! And talking to them! Go you!!
Lord, since when did a group of teenagers intimidate you? You’re in your 20s for god sake
Your travels had made you more reserved, more serious, and survival mode hasn’t turned off yet. You’re not the silly, joyful, positive person you once were a few years ago, as much as you wish you could go back to what you used to be.
And now you’re living in the same quarters as a group of turtles who are anything but serious. They’re fun, goofy, and have this sincerity with each other that makes you feel the pit in your stomach grow because you yearn for that connection. You ache for even a moment of simple validity of your friendship with them.
But can you have it? Do you even belong with them? Can you even call yourself a friend? An acquaintance even? You feel a bit out of place…
But they don’t seem to think so. To them, you fit in just right.
Mikey
The first to warm up to you. He’s not sure himself, but he was somehow getting some good vibes from you.
Your initial reservation didn’t bother him, you find. Apparently the purple clad turtle is quite similar in disposition. He would ask you as many questions as possible, to which you listen quietly and answer casually.
You liked his youthful personality. So enthusiastic and earnest, it made you a little jealous. But he never clashed with your mellow energy, in fact he complimented yours. (You wish you had some of that energy. You miss being positive)
You don’t know how he did it, but he somehow figured out your drawing hobby. Damn it, this was supposed to be a private thing. “You’re an artist and you didn’t tell me??? WE COULD HAVE BEEN ARTS AND CRAFTS BUDDIES THIS WHOLE TIME??”
You sheepishly reveal your sketches and he excitedly shows his designs. This turns into art trades which turns into art sessions where you talk about your processes together. He teaches you some really good shading tips. You teach him about expressions and form. You feel good about your art for once.
If the teens have one thing in common, they love your hugs. Mikey is the first to know what they feel like.
It happened to you suddenly, where he was thanking you for some odd favour you did for him and he wrapped you up in a tight hug. You were caught off guard, but eventually wrapped your arms across his shell. But as soon as you did that he quickly retracted from you.
“Shoot! Sorry, I should have asked first. Usually I’m really good with this but I just got so carried away and-.”
You tell him not to worry about it. It’s been so long since you received a hug, or any sort of positive touch for that matter. You just weren’t used to it, is all.
“Oh! Okay! In that case, wanna try again?” You’re prepared this time and bring your arms around him again. He leans his head on your chest and you feel him snuggle in a bit. This…is nice. You try to ignore the long years you endured without any sort of positive affirmation or care or sign of love or anything like that. You ignore the fact that you haven’t felt a hug this warm and close in a long time. You’re gonna ignore the wetness in your eyes now.
Mikey uses the “youngest sibling” puppy dog eyes on you and always tries to pull the “baby of the family” move. This is to no avail. No matter how hard he tries, you just don’t give in. This makes it harder when the other turtles want you to do something for them (and totally not against the rules)
“How is this possible?? Mikey is our secret weapon he ALWAYS works.” “How do my undefeatable little brother moves not work on you??” he wails. “Jokes on you, brother. For you see, I am the youngest sister in MY family, so therefore I am immune to your tricks!”
“SHOCKED GASP” “Dangit!” “Aw come on!” “GAHH! So powerful……”
Eventually you meet the infamous Dr Feelings the more you show yourself. He’s convinced that you need to “come out of your shell” and “stop isolating yourself” and “allow the help people offer in your life”
That last statement, you tell him that he needs to follow that as well. That he doesn’t have to be the “family therapist” all the time and he’s still young and why is he taking on such emotional problems bro he is 15 who let a 15 year old tackle everyone’s mental health?? You tell him that it’s ok if it all gets to be too much sometimes.
He gets quiet at that. Silently absorbing your words in his mind. It feels a little eerie if you’re completely honest. Seeing him sit there fiddling with his “therapist” glasses and averting eye contact, it’s like someone stripped away his personality and pasted on somebody else’s.
All you can do is stare intently at him, hoping he gets your message. You’ve been where he is now, and you know how rough it can get. You’d hate to see him fall down that same rabbit hole, and you’d be damned if you would let that happen to him. After everything that’s happened to you, to him, to this family. He has to know what you’re saying. He has to listen.
Mikey takes off his glasses and you notice a shimmer in his eyes. “You know what? I think….Dr Feelings really needed to hear that.”
After that night, he comes to you whenever he feels his “tazz isn’t very razzy” so to speak. Something about you and what you said just makes him feel more comfortable to admit those not-so-good thoughts around you. “Maybe it’s my inherent wisdom” you joke. “You can only say that if you’re like “old” old. Like OLD old old. Dad old” (you hear splinter shout from the other room)
“Hey come on I’ve got more wisdom in me than the average dad.” “Oh yeah? Impart some sagely wisdom, your wisely wisdomness” “You stink” “THATS NOT WISDOM”
Expect a lot of hugs from him. Everyone in this family is pretty affectionate, but he makes up 90% of it
You used to go on errands by yourself, but now…maybe some company wouldn’t hurt
He’s the first one you invite, making it his and your Thing ™️. Errand time is bonding time. It’s sacred.
And then the other turtles found out and now it’s practically a family outing
During the early days when you joined them on missions, he would show off a little bit (maybe not as much as Leo did, but you could tell his tricks were getting more showy)
He just wants you to be proud of him
He’d call for you to watch him as he swung his weapon at their enemies, showing no remorse as he kicked their asses
Only to turn around like “Hey did you see me?? Was I cool or what??”
All you can do is stare gobsmacked as you give a thumbs up.
Mikey was the first for everything in your friendships with the Hamato clan. Your first friend, the first to confide into, the first you indulged in your hobbies with, the first you personally invited to hang out with-
He was your littlest brother.
And you would do anything for him. For all of them.
#turtle bros#mikester#dribbles and drabbles#MAN this has been in my drafts for a while phew#anyway let’s see how this lil series goes

ok so.
i liked the movie a lot, i’ve been on a beatle biopic binge lately (say that five times fast) for some reason so this was a very refreshing watch after the likes of nowhere boy and backbeat. (i should also mention i watched it as a double feature with daydream believers, the horrible monkees biopic, at my sibling’s insistence so that may be coloring my judgement).
but anyway, yes i really liked the movie. one thing i can say is that it definitely kept me engaged the whole way through. i don’t think there was a time where i was getting bored or losing focus, which is a major bonus for me. but i think knowing about the “production hell” that this thing went through for years before its release definitely also colors my opinion. the seams really show in some places, especially the ending, which kind of seems to come out of nowhere. for a movie with such a strong first and second act, the way it just peeters out at the end felt really unsatisfying.
but enough of the film bs let’s talk beatle fan shit. so, i loved the casting. if only john weren’t so goddamn SHORT!! 😭 that is my ONE HUGE COMPLAINT. everyone looks, sounds and acts great, EXCEPT FOR JOHN’S FUCKING HEIGHT. WHY IS HE 2 APPLES TALL. HE’S SHORTER THAN RINGO FOR CHRISTS SAKE. anyway, yeah everyone’s faces look good at least (maybe not ringo but it wasn’t so bad that it took me out of it). the accents are good as far as i can tell, being american. but everyone seems to have a really good grasp of their mannerisms and speech patterns which is fantastic. and they’re also musicians in real life!! well, the guys playing john and paul are at least, can’t speak for the others but that’s always fantastic to see! and yeah as others have said: blake richardson knocks it out of the park as paul, like, i think there was at least one point where i genuinely forgot that was not actually paul. they need to get on him QUICK for the upcoming biopics.
and brian. oh brian. jacob fortune-lloyd sells me so hard on his performance that tears were shed when the end credits rolled. he…god it’s been several days since i watched it and im still speechless over what to say about him. he is without a doubt the highlight of the movie. he brings such a light and humanity to brian that has been previously unheard of for beatle casuals. his performance is exactly what i wanted from a brian biopic. he does such a phenomenal job that i wish we could get an even longer and more in depth deep dive into brian’s life beyond the beatles. you feel every high and every low as if you were experiencing it yourself, and i feel that he captures brian’s spirit perfectly. that’s what stuck with me after the credits rolled, is how glad i was that they got such a fantastic actor to portray this beautiful love letter to a man we lost far too soon, who meant so much to those close to him. this might be the thing that pushes me to learn more about brian and his whole side of things, as most of my limited research has been restricted to the bugs themselves until now. but this shit got me SWITCHIN UP.
anywho tldr: i’m no beatle historian and i also know nothing so take everything i say with a grain of salt but i liked this movie and i thought it was a fabulous tribute to brian. wish the ending didn’t suck, but it’s biographical so yknow what can ya do. it’s a definite recommend from me, watch it if you have the time, you won’t regret it. 6/10
guess who watched midas mannnnn
#ha ha i forgot this was in my draftsssss#sorry it’s been like a week now LMAO but yeah here’s my thoughts#i reviewed this on letterboxd when i first watched it but i don’t remember what i said and i feel like copy and pasted would be lazy#so here’s my half-high ramblings. i’m like the least knowledgeable person here on extended beatles lore so#my only real expertise lies in film shit :/ and even then it’s all bs#midas man#brian epstein#the beatles#biopic#jack reviews

I can only send you the strongest vibes that things don't blow out of proportion and that you can be at ease soon.
well a bit of a quick update my mom sent a message saying she paid for my bill, then to keep it causal I said: thank you so much you can take the money from my account! (It was only 30 bucks) and then she gave my message a heart??? And she didn’t confront me or anything, in fact it was very normal, she asked me to come eat, and we all ate as a family like usual, then asked me if I knew who’s laundry was in the dryer, and that’s pretty much it… I’m not sure if it’s because 1) she doesn’t care because I kind of been hinting about wanting this for a long while now and even explained hypothetically if I were to go on t I would do slow changes which is true, but I lied by implying I hadn’t started when I’ve been on it for almost a year Lmao or 2) she did not notice what the bill was for despite it saying TESTOSTERONE all over the damn thing… who knows, I just hope I won’t have to explain myself or anything :-( or much worse, but I think as long as she doesn’t tell my dad I should be okay
#with my mom I know I can usually warm her up to things and she improves#that’s how she’s always been#but my dad he either gets it or he doesn’t and accepts it or not#but at the same time sometimes he’s more liberal than my mom in a lot of ways but then conservative in others??#like my mom refuses to talk about my queerness to family which I can understand but it also makes me feel alienated a lot of the times#while my dad isn’t afraid to mention it but in a super casual vague way that tells me he supports me but keeps the rest of the family away#from my personal business which I appreciate#but also my mom buys me lots of cute rainbow stuff to show she supports me now#but my dad doesn’t really ask much about my personal life at all… but that’s just how he is with all my siblings#but that could also be cause of the language barrier there is sometimes#but yeah idk#I’m still nervous#guess I’m still freaked about the time they all almost kicked me out and the abuse up until my adulthood#so yknow#callate guero

I Thought Thieves Love Jules!
Carmen strolled out of the elevator, feeling pretty beat after her workout with Shadowsan. Not that she would ever admit that- she had wanted to keep going, but it had only been two days since she got electrocuted in Egypt, so Shadowsan made her cut her workout short while he continued. Carmen sauntered over to the counter, taking a long drink from her water bottle, just as Player’s image appeared on her laptop screen. “Check it out, Red. Julia just posted a new entry on her blog, about a recent find in Columbia.” Player said, ”But it totally digresses into fun facts about fair trade coffee, including a “Red Blend.” Carmen leaned onto the counter. “Could be another riddle to solve?” “Good thing I learned a thing or two about code-breaking from Julia.” Player smirked, clearly excited to show off his new skills. “Every paragraph ends with a number. If you line ‘em up like they're a date and time, it’s tomorrow at 8am.” “Seems Chief wants an opportunity to thank me over coffee.” Carmen quirked an eyebrow. Seems as though she’d be seeing her favorite agent-turned-historian-turned-agent-again in the field, per Chief’s request. “How can you be sure it’s not a trap?” Player asked apprehensively. “If it were, Jules would’ve worded it differently.”
“OoOoO, are we talking about Jules?” Zack asked, peeking his head out from the doorway.
“That ACME gal Carm has a crush on?” Ivy chimed in, peeking her own head out from under her brother.
Carmen rolled her eyes at the sibling’s cartoonish antics. “Jules and I are just friends, you two.”
Ivy scoffed, entering the room and flopping onto the couch. “Yeah right- then why did you specifically go to her when you needed help decoding the relics?”
Carmen casually took a sip of her water before answering. “Jules was already familiar with VILE- getting a stranger involved would’ve only made things more complicated and dangerous than it already was.” Zack hopped onto the couch opposite of Ivy, resting his feet up on her knees. He pointedly ignored Ivy’s protests of, “Zack, gross!” and smirked at Carmen. “Oh? Then why did you ask Devineaux where she was in Louisiana?” “Hey, you never told me about that one!” Ivy gasped, feigning betrayal. “I was just surprised ACME let that driving disaster use a car,” Carmen quipped. Player laughed on his side of the screen. “Don’t act like you’re any better, Red. Don’t you remember your first caper?”
Carmen gasped, pretending to be insulted. “Says the 17 year old without a learners permit.”
“Not like I have anywhere to go.” Player laughed, before refocusing on Carmen’s interrogation. “Speaking of firsts, how about when you first met Julia? I listened in, and it totally sounded like you were flirting with her. You called her “Jules” on your first meeting!” Carmen narrowed her eyes at Player in defiance. “I was just sitting across from Jules so I could blend in while keeping an eye on Paper Star. And what’s wrong with nicknames? I called Crackle “Gray” and Ivy “Ives”. I don’t see what the difference is.” “The difference is that you and Cracker used to be best friends, and now we are best friends. However, you and Jules were not friends at the time.” Ivy said, emphasizing the nickname. “His name is Crackle now.” “He went and rejoined VILE, I think I get to call Gary whatever I want.” Player chimed back into the conversation. “Why did you leave the Magna Cartas with Julia, anyway? You had one conversation with her, what made you think leaving them with her meant they were in “good hands?” “While sitting next to her, I noticed Devineaux’s briefcase, and she said they were travel partners on business. I figured that meant they were law enforcement also trying to recover the documents. Leaving them with Jules simply saved me the hassle of returning the documents myself.” Carmen explained casually. “What about the fashion show in Milan, Carm? Why’d you have Julia help us then?” Zack asked, a shit-eating grin plastered onto his face. Carmen sighed in annoyance. Why won’t they just get off her back about this already? “Jules was the only ACME agent around, and I knew that ACME would be able to get the gowns to safety. And before you ask,” Carmen pointed at Ivy, whose mouth was already open with some smug retort, “I put her in charge instead of you because she would know where the gowns could be put for ACME to return.” At that, Ivy simply leaned back onto the couch and mirrored her brother’s smug grin. “Yeah, that was a fun night.” She smirked, and Zack tried to hold back his laugh that came out as more of a snort. Carmen raised her brow at the untold story, but she decided not to press. For the sake of her sanity.
“Well, what about Stockholm?” Zack blurted. Ivy and Player’s eyes snapped to Carmen, looking for any hint of discomfort, and Zack immediately tried to rectify the situation. “I-I mean, yknow, you just were gonna go try to get her help before-”
Carmen cut off his anxious rambling, smiling warmly. “Don’t worry about it Zack, I know what you mean. I wanted to talk to Jules to see if she could get ACME to back off. While that obviously didn’t happen, I know Jules didn’t try to betray me.” Carmen glanced out the window for a moment, whispering quietly to herself. “I don’t think I could be angry at her if I tried.” Carmen turned back to her friends and smiled. “Plus, she helped me out in Monaco and Ile De L'oleron afterwards, so-” Player practically leapt up from his chair, causing a loud crash as he knocked the fidget spinners off his desk and dropped the rubix cute he was playing with. “Yeah, let's talk about Monaco! You can’t tell me you guys weren’t flirting at the party. She was so confident you were going to deliver the goods to her door, and you trusted her not to stop you when you stole the eggs. Come on, Red, you know she was flirting with you!” Carmen felt Zack and Ivy’s eyes on her expectantly, and she chuckled at Player’s exasperation. “Player, I’m pretty good at reading people, and I’m fairly certain she wasn’t flirting with me. Even if she was, I was not flirting ba-” “Then what about the roses?”
Carmen’s eyes widened almost imperceptibly. How did Zack, of all people, know about the roses?
“Oh my god, the roses! Carm, why the fuck didn’t you tell us about the roses?” Ivy exclaimed, springing up from her relaxed position on the couch.
Carmen bit her lip before answering. “They were just flowers, as a thank you gift for the help. How do you know about them, anyway? I didn’t buy them until after you guys left.”
At that, Player piped up once again. “So Red, you know how at the end of each month, I look through our funds and see how much we spend on capers, to set our budget for the next month? Well, it was pretty interesting for me to see that you used our encrypted card to buy a bouquet of red roses from the flower shop across the street from Julia’s apartment, on the same day we left her the goods.”
Fuck. Carmen needed to shut this down, now. “They were just a thank you gift guys, nothing more. Just something Jules could keep for herself. And red is my color, so the roses seemed like a good gift. Now if you’ll excuse me,” Carmen glared at the redheads sternly, daring them to stop her, before looking down at Player with the same forbidding look. ”I’m going to take a shower. Player, let me know when you’ve got a red eye to Seattle ready.” Carmen closed the laptop, tucked it under her arm and walked out of the room without looking back. ~~~
The video call flickered to black, and Player leaned back into his chair, sighing. Red can be so thick-headed sometimes. As he booked her flight, he thought back to their teasing and banter from moments before.
Red seemed pretty genuine- maybe we were wrong after all.
Player took a deep breath- he didn’t want to call Carmen back so soon, especially when she seemed pretty pissed at the end of their last call- but he had booked her flight for a short two hours from now. So, Player reconnected to Carmen’s laptop, still looking at the red eye information on his other monitor, before hearing a loud, exasperated groan coming from his speakers.
“Holy fuck that was such a mess!”
Player’s head snapped towards his other monitor. The laptop had been set on the dresser across from Carmen’s bed, where she was laying sprawled out in agony. Player quickly hit his mute button and sat back to watch.
Carmen’s arms raised up to cover her face- though Player couldn’t see it, he was sure her face was covered in her signature color. “God, and the roses- why did I use the card for the roses? That’s a basic credit card slip, how am I so stupid!”
Carmen sat up, hands still over her flushed face. “I’m so fucking lucky they didn’t hear us on the ferry or at her office, there’s no way they would’ve ever let that go- I thought I wasn’t being obvious about this stupid crush-
That was all the confirmation Player needed. He clicked unmute and nearly shouted, “So you do have a crush on Julia! I knew it!”
Carmen’s head snapped up to the source of the sound, her face as red as her coat hanging on the wall’s hook. “Player! What the fuck are you-” Carmen froze as she watched Player pick up his cell phone. “Player, if you do what I think you’re about to-”
“Then what? You’re two thousand miles away Red, I'm practically untouchable.” He laughed and grinned smugly at the webcam as he dialed a number.
“Player, you are so dead next time I visit Ontario!” Carmen yelled before she threw her door open, barrelling down the hall to the stairway.
~~~
Zack and Ivy watched in silence as Carmen walked out of the room. When they heard the door to the stairway close, they looked at each other, before they couldn’t take it anymore and burst into laughter.
“Holy shit she looked so mad!” Ivy wheezed through her laughing fit.
“I know! Do you think that means she was telling the truth?” Zack questioned as he tried (and failed) to calm his giggles.
“No way.”
“But she seemed pretty-”
“What are you two laughing about?” Shadowsan’s stern voice stopped the twin’s giggling dead in its tracks. Just as Ivy opened her mouth to make an excuse, since she doubted Carmen wanted Shadowsan involved in her love life, (he is like her father, isnt he?) Zack spoke up.
“We tried to get Carm to confess that she likes Julia, but she kept on telling us she just likes Julia as a friend. Maybe she wasn’t lying, most of her reasons were pretty solid.” Ivy would’ve smacked him then and there if Shadowsan hadn’t interrupted her train of thought with a small chuckle. Since when did Shadowsan chuckle? “On VILE Island, Carmen was trained to be a master of deception. Do you not realize that she was also trained to survive any interrogation?” Shadowsan said, with…humor in his voice? Zack and Ivy were silent for a moment. “Wait, does that mean she actually does like Ju-” The moment was interrupted with a call on Ivy’s phone. When she looked at the caller ID, her eyes widened as she answered it and put the device on speaker. “Carmen does have a crush on Julia!” Player shouted from the phone, just as the Crimson Gay Ghost herself burst into the room and crashed into Ivy. “Dammit!” Carmen yelled, taking the phone from Ivy who was now on the floor with Carmen and laughing. “Player, I’m going to fly to Ontario and kick your ass!” Player’s laughing from the phone was almost drowned out by Zack and Ivy’s. “Oh no you’re not, you’ve got a flight to catch in two hours!” “OoOh where to? To go see your “favorite ACME agent”?” Ivy teased through her laughter. “Yeah Carm, I thought thieves love Jules!” Zack said as he laughed. Carmen jumped off of Ivy, her voice a noticeably higher pitch and her face extremely red as she shouted, “No! I mean- well, that is- I just-” As Zack, Ivy and Player continued to tease an extremely red-faced and stammering Carmen, Shadowsan smiled and quietly walked out of the room. It seems the war may be coming to a close with ACME on their side, but that doesn’t mean Carmen has to stop chasing someone.

SO i just finished wonder egg priority and i think that with confidence i can say it has been one of my favorite animes like... ever ?? and not even from hyperfixation or obsession over it just... its so fucking real yet so simple in a way that i havent rlly seen shown in any other shows you feel ??
but first i wanna talk about how sexy the art and animation is real quick... HOMIE ITS SO GOOD LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT JUST... serotonin... the characters are all so unique and iconic and fun but not over the top in their designs yknow ??? they seem like regular every day girls but they stand out and theyre all sO CUTE !!!! also i love how the style is like this soft bubbly slice of life lookin stuff with bright happy colors and the most beautiful scenes you could find but they also have the SICKEST fight scenes complete with whimsical animal helpers and terrifying villains and crazy weapons unique to each character. and the animation. god DAMN shawty i am obsessed with everything in this show. i might make a post solely about the art later lol bc i wanna get into the other stuff.
so the themes in the show right ?? it starts just as this cute lil magical girl kinda deal but within the first episode we see that like.. oh damn... thats kinda heavy... tbh i was a little shocked and thought about stopping bc yknow bad mental health BUT i was so intrigued that i had to keep going and i am SO GLAD that i did. because this show just so beautifully discusses all these heavy topics in such an eloquent and artistically expressive way. and also like, , the juxtaposition of the charming childlike vibe with bright colors and 14 yr old girl protagonists against the dark themes of suicide and so much else,, i think is just perfect. bc a lot of heavy animes are more of the seinen genre and have some middle aged dude as a protag or make the entire color palette dim or offer little relief to the pain of these heavy themes right ?? but NO not wonder egg bitches B) because these problems arent just things that ppl face later in life or just problems that need to be talked about among adults or the edgy seinen watching squad,, these are REAL problems that face people of every age, gender etc and i think its awesome that wonder egg addresses that. some may cringe at the thought of their high schooler watching animes that discuss sexual harassment, suicide, abuse, self harm, eating disorders etc,, but in reality it is the most comforting thing i have ever come across and is basically jsut free anime therapy. because not only does wonder egg present these themes to the viewers as something real that happens to all kinds of people (making said people feel heard in a way that maybe they hadnt before), but it also makes sure to vanquish all of these forms of trauma. and the way the trauma is vanquished isnt always beautiful and it isnt always just magically gone with a poof. the struggles of overcoming or living with that sort of thing are shown in such a real and relatable way that addresses every hardship trauma survivors have to go through. and i just. god i cry bro.
oh m y GOD and the lgbtq+ rep in this show ?? like shawty... as soon as i saw episode one i was picking up on some gay/lesbian themes but then again im sapphic and project that a lot so i tend to see that sort of stuff like... everywhere... but NE WAYS... episode ten made me FUKCING CRY BRO LIke i cant believe there was a whole trans character with a whole trans pride hoodie like LKGHKDGH my heart is just so.. so fucking full thinking about him. bc like yeah i know there are trans characters in anime but i feel like theyre always very ambiguous about actually being trans or not or erased or portrayed as a harmful stereotype or theyre constantly misgendered and still refered to as their assigned gender at birth and i hate it. HOWEVEr... Kaoru.. *chefs kiss* it was so amazing to see a character straight up say “yeah im trans” in such a casual yet powerful way bc i personally have never seen that before. and i love love loved how he went into his backstory and talked to momoe about gender bc i think thats what she rlly needed and that it helped her find herself and it makes me so happy oh my god,, and the way they talked about it never seemed forced or like it was the focal point of his existence yknow ?? like yeah he existed to help momoe overcome some of her trauma but he also just existed to be HIM yknow ?? also... personally, i headcanon momoe as a trans girl even though i dont remember it being explicitly stated plus the school scenes of her and stuff would seem like they suggest otherwise ??but,,, SHAWTY THE AMOUNT OF SUBTEXT and her complicated relationship w gender is... something i feel like a cis girl would not go through so harshly yknow ?? with all of the questioning and feeling detached from femininity or feeling like ppl dont see her as an actual girl and only like her as a guy or for her masculine traits,,, but dont take my word on this bc i myself am a cis girl but that was just my take on it as someone in the lgbtq+ community trying to educate myself on the transgender community :) either way,, wonder eggs portrayal of momoe and kaoru and the way that momoe becomes so passionate about expressing herself the way she wants to as a girl is just... good lord im gonna cry its so perfect,,,.so ... i just love this show way too much. i also am honestly super lost about the relationship btwn acca and ura-acca ?? bc i was gonna mention ura-acca as a canonically gay guy bc when i was watching i interpreted ep 11 as him being in love with acca and being jealous of Azusa (bc i mean,, they lived together (i swear to god there was only one bed in that apartment) and had a daughter together and def loved each other and also when Frill said they were husbands and then when ura-acca said he wasnt attracted to azusa but he was def jealous of their relationship ??) but then i saw somewhere that theyre brothers ?? which would make sense ig since they look kinda similar and accas daughter called ura-acca “uncle”.. but at the same time its ANIME SO THEY ALL LOOK SIMILAR and referring to gay couples as siblings is an EXTREMELY common euphemism soooo... IM JUST LOST HERE... but yeah i tried doing research and found different things so i cant say anything for sure >:( however,,, if they are canonically a lil fruity for each other... when frill refered to acca as ura-accas husband i imploded dude you never hear that sort of wording in anime.. but if theyre related i am so sorry.
god this is so much longer than i planned it to be oops but i also love the theme about like.. relying on friends to help carry your weight but at the same time not becoming completely dependent on those friends and using their support to learn how to love yourself and rely on yourself yknow ?? bc that is exactly what healthy friendships look like. bc i think ai sort of had a codependency thing goin on with koito maybe ?? but now she has a whole squad of funky friends that are so so different but all struggle with different kinds of trauma and although they fight over it, they always get through it with each other together. and they push each other no matter what to be the best versions of themselves and they teach other that getting hurt is okay because theyre always gonna be there to pick up the pieces no matter what happens. they can give each other space when they need and adapt to meet each others needs but theyre always able to balance it out with their own needs and thats such a beautiful thing in friendships especially at their age like damn i wish i had that maturity when i was 14 but no all i had was depression. another thing is that through these friendships you get to see all the different sides of each girl; you get to see them being strong or a shining light to their friends when theyre hurting but you also get to see them being hurt and weak and allowing themselves to be on the receiving end of the comfort. their friendships allows them to have weaknesses but it also allows them to highlight their strengths and thrive off of each others. I LOVE FRIENDSHIP DUDE
next i wanna briefly mention some of the themes connected to suicide that ive noticed. a big one is the survivors guilt that ai feels once koito is dead. several times she screams that she wishes she couldve gone with koito and she dreams of a “perfect world” where they committed a double suicide. one of the main reasons for her troubles is that she blames herself for koitos death and feels like it should be her thats dead... but at the same time she feels like too much of a coward to do anything now that koito is gone. she just has all these complex and contradicting feelings that wear away at her in ways that ppl that havent gone through the suicide of a loved one could never imagine. a lot of the times when things like this are portrayed in media i feel like its more in a way thats meant to guilt trip those that have taken their own lives and paint suicide as this selfish sin thats unforgivable but... not only does wonder egg reject that idea and instead portray it as a heartbreaking tragedy with,,, so so many terrible reasons, but it focuses on the feelings of ai separate from koito without blaming her in any way. not once did i feel like the show antagonized koito or that ai blamed koito for doing any of this, but they simply mourned her loss and touched on ais reaction towards the event but separate from koito herself if that makes sense. and i think that discussing survivors guilt without painting koito as the bad guy is something so beautifully done in wonder egg that can really resonate with those that have lost a loved one to suicide and have struggled with these same things.
okay i think this is the last thing ill mention,,, but HOMIE THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE BIT AT THE END. I AM. OBSESSED. i am such a whore for anything about the multiverse okay n e ways...,, not only did this make a super epic trippy ending of season one and add a little bit more magical girl whimsy to the show,, but it had such a powerful message. from the perspective of og ai,, finding out that you killed yourself in another world is... i mean its definitely not a surprise but at the same time it rlly makes you think how close og ai herself couldve been to that point and what decisions led her out of that dark place in her life. if i were in her shoes i would be terrified and id cry bc the thought of going back to such a dark place and actually going through with something like that is my worst fear and probably something that ai fears too. but at the same time,,, think from the perspective of ai two !!! like yeah its true that theres this awful terrible version of ai that dies but theres also a whole version of ai that is a superhero magical girl fighting off monsters to save countless ppls lives !! and she has a badass lizard and a gang of awesome friends !!! at first i was worried that ai two would be jealous of og ai and compare herself to her and feel inferior but like.. THEYRE LITERALLY THE SAME PERSON AND CAPABLE OF THE SAME THINGS !!! and ai two realized that !! just within the span of one episode, she went from the version of ai who took her life,, to the version of ai jumping in front of a friend to take a bullet for them and save their life. and that just inspired THE SHIT OUT OF ME. i think that ai was sent another version of herself to sort of beat her own worst enemy yknow ?? those doubts and fears that shes no good or that shes that same bystander from episode one and that she hasnt changed at all. but getting to interact with her parallel self and see her grow was just what she needed to realize that while yeah sometimes the worst thing can happen and things can be terrible but on the other hand sometimes the most wonderful thing imaginable can happen because she has the power to do either.
so im gonna go ahead and stop rambling bc i got all my thoughts out that i wanted to for this post :D but yeah lol i might make another if i feel like it sometime. long story short: this show is perfect and it is going on my favorite of all times.

Four Years/New Age AU.
How was Camila and Amity's first meeting?
WILD times it was a Mess
Luz basically dragged Camila to the Boiling Isles after explaining things to meet her family, since Luz was v nervous about explaining them all. she may or may not have neglected information such as; Eda is like her second mom, Lilith is basically her aunt, she’s got like 7 new siblings now, King’s technically [REDACTED], oh, and shes also got a girlfriend. yknow, the usual. Luz has no idea how to bring up things like that so she just hoped she could casually slide it in on conversation or her mom would pick up on it and then like. Ask Later Hopefully. Amity had been busy w figuring out what to do with the previous Emperor’s Coven, so she, among one or two others, were a little late to meeting Camila and had barely been warned beforehand. everyone figured that out pretty quickly when Amity showed up, looked absolutely terrified upon seeing Camila, nervously introduced herself, and Luz was casually looking everywhere but at them. Eda: you didn’t tell your mom you had a girlfriend, did you? Luz: i PANICKED
Camila, of course, found out pretty quickly bc both of these dumbasses can’t go thirty minutes without looking lovesick. at first she was like “ah. so my daughter has a crush on the witch-girl. why am I not surprised” but then when Amity was leaving to go deal w Coven stuff Luz instinctively gave her a lil kith on the nose as goodbye n then Camila Knew.
Camila, who had been like ten feet behind Luz as Amity leaves out the door: so. is that a way witches say goodbye or is there something you’d like to tell me? Luz, knowing shes about to Die: Luz: okay but in my defense, how was I supposed to bring up I’m dating a witch? Camila: there are a LOT more complicated things to unpack than you dating a witch, mija
Amity was also just HELLA nervous around Camila, especially when she learned that Yes, Camila Knew She Was Dating Luz Now. she went into Blight Mode™ n was trying to b Very respectful n like she was talking to one of her parents rich friends. Camila was a little sus cause it felt like Amity was trying to cover something up n last she knew Luz, that girl saw everything with rose-tinted glasses. but she learned pretty quickly that Amity could not be more smitten if she tried and is actually just Extremely Nervous. also you can imagine her WHIRLING to Luz when she learns that Amity came from a very rich family and had a high-authority job. she once joked that she never took Luz for a gold digger and pretty much one hit K.O’d her kid

HYEYOUNG x JOHNNY
hyonny best couple i don’t make the rules i just enforce them
(yes i know this is a shit edit but this was requested and im excited so THIS IS FOR YOU ANON ILY)
PLEASE lmk what you think!! if u ever have any questions about them (or any of the ocs or reqs) i encourage you to send me asks! thank u loves, enjoy!!❣️
TAGLIST (hmu to join! applies to all of my ocs): @moonbeamsung @aqueenieme @atinygracie @jinsoulorbitzen12 @btshook
THE BEGINNING:
hyeyoung met johnny in 2017, a bit after he debuted in 127
he came around the training center, since he had trained for so long and had friends there
he also liked to meet new trainees! he’s a super kind guy, he wants to try to be support for them, since he trained for So Long
when he first saw her he thought she was gorgeous
and vice versa, yknow. she was shy because he was a Debuted Idol AND a Handsome Man
yeah they both found each other attractive and that was. about it yknow? for a while
THEN in 2019, rumor was that hyeyoung would join an nct female unit
she was already friends with mila and lily, having trained with mila, and lily was friendly with trainees
but she started talking to the guys more, meeting them properly and getting used to them
and johnny was so .. you know how he is
she fell really quick tbh
lily noticed this QUICKLY and did what she could to make them interact and she THOUGHT she is what got them together
but johnny was texting her on the low .. he loved her the minute he had his first conversation (in person) with her
THE ~TALKING~ STAGE:
johnny is a Romantic™️ and we all know it
so this man COURTED her like a damn maiden
hyeyoung, evie, and gem: *arrive at the siren dorms and open the door*
hyeyoung, evie, and gem: ...
evie: hyeyoung who sent you twenty vases of roses
no that IS NOT A JOKE
literally an old movie romance, complete with the yearning and such
he always texted her good morning and good night
sent her coffee or tea on the low while she was training
“hello beautiful”
hyeyoung was lovestruck. she felt able to actually talk to him after a bit, and it was so easy for her to trust and feel close to him
she got shy when he did big gestures or sweet things- but it was making her fall HARD
and johnny? well he wasn’t MUCH better just more composed outwardly
our smooth, flirty bastard john ..
would absolutely GUSH about her to the members. smiling like an IDIOT at his phone
once lily said she couldn’t hang out because hye wasn’t feeling good and johnny’s heart DROPPED he didn’t know what to do
come to think of it he hasn’t gotten a text from her in a while :((
didnt she say she hadn’t had pizza lately?
and that’s how johnny ended up at the trainee girls’ dorm at 11pm with a pizza. and the dark chocolate she liked.
he watched a movie in hyeyoung’s room with her ALONE and she leaned into his side so
tbh it wasn’t a bad night
HOW HYONNY BECAME OFFICIAL:
hyeyoung was fr wondering if this would be anything
she was thinking about her career, yeah, but her heart YEARNED for him. she was falling in love with everything about him
she didn’t need the grand gestures, she just needed him
and, it probably goes without saying, but so did johnny
he stopped by her practice room with evie and gem one day
he had just finished his own practice and called hye closer to the door of the practice room she was in with the girls
cue lily practically shaking with excitement
“i don’t think this will seem out of the blue... do you wanna get dinner, sometime? as an actual date this time”
the smile she gave him nearly made poor john’s heart stop
“i thought you’d never ask” she responded, stepping on her tip toes to press a kiss to his cheek
CHEESY SMILE until jaehyun pulls him away
“howd it go, romeo?”
then they heard the girls squealing audibly and talking at the speed of light
“oh no big deal. just the most beautiful amazing woman on the planet likes me back”
NOW KITH:
the first date was literally later that night, in hyeyoung’s room, with takeout and the nicest red wine johnny could find
tbh he couldn’t wait and she was free that night
“keep the door unlocked!” - evie
the two just talked and laughed and the movie on the background was ignored
hyeyoung was used to feeling shy with people, but she was so comfortable early on. it felt right
and yeah the night DID end with them making out
with the door locked, screw you evie (johnny’s words, not hyeyoung’s)
they fell into being a couple very easily
they told the company a few months in to make life easier and surprisingly .. they were pretty okay with it, though they obviously had guidelines
they couldn’t be seen alone in public (sometimes they break that rule with masks and hats and disguises since the managers will let them sometimes)
a lot of their dates are in the siren dorms because it’s quieter and all of the girls have their own rooms
she comes around to the 127 dorms a lot
they couldn’t interact more than she would interact with the others, and absolutely no pda
((tbh with mila and lily, it’s more acceptable, since they grew up with their members, but the other three have stricter rules .. evie almost breaks them sometimes tho. and sometimes the guys will give casual, familial hugs to them))
they said they loved each other a few months in
johnny said it first, and hyeyoung said it back immediately
it was natural. they fully and truly love each other
they will 1000% percent get married, and they will do so whenever they can in the future
they want to keep their relationship quiet just because hyeyoung’s career has JUST started
but johnny wants to reveal it as soon as the company lets them because he wants the world to know he loves her with all of his heart
johnny’s parents have only met her over facetime, and they already love her. she talks to johnny’s mom a lot too
he has met her parents and siblings, and obviously they love him
her dad is protective though since she’s his youngest daughter and his baby
johnny is still big on keeping the romance alive and planning things for her, always telling her how much he loves her, and showing physical affection
hyeyoung is a softer type of girlfriend, and she is big on quality time and expressing to him how much she loves him.
they will never, ever doubt how much they love each other. forever type shit
HYONNYCORE
johnny and hyeyoung ARE mom and dad
especially to hyuck. hyeyoung LOVES him and thinks he can literally do no harm, similar to how she is with lily
mark used to have a crush on hyeyoung hehe but i think we ALL know he’s interested in someone else now ..
taeyong, yuta, lily, hyuck, jaemin, evie, ten, jungwoo, taeil, chenle, hendery, and yangyang are their biggest shippers. they believe in hyonny supremacy
jaehyun is OBVIOUSLY happy for his bro but he’s a chill, cool dude y’know ..
he’s johnny’s go-to though and he and hyeyoung have a very sweet friendship, jaehyun always looks out for her and makes sure she’s okay
johnny will be chill about the eventual rumors about hyeyoung and jaehyun tho because he knows there’s nothing there, and as far as he is concerned, that means that their relationship is safer without any lights on them
they aren’t jealous people (AHEM take note lily AHEM)
the two of them will still flirt with fans, and they rate each other’s flirty comments to fans
“nah, baby, that’s basic. be smoother”
“john, they literally just asked me to tell them i love them”
yeah they’re teased tho and you KNOW they are
ten is CRAZY dude he was already big on the innuendos but now .. goodness
he doesn’t step out of line tho and he’s more subtle and would never do anything to harass them (well mainly not hyeyoung because flashbacks to “i wanna have xxxx with you fatass! love you forever darling” johnten always wilding)
y’know that clip from stranger thing when that dude asks jonathan how the pull out was... “the couch”. yeah. stuff like that from ten
hyuck doesn’t tease them much surprisingly! because again. mom and dad
i can sum up mark in a single sentence:
“you guys are, like, perfect for each other, y’know? i’m happy for you guys, seriously.”
yuta teases sometimes, but chenji is RUTHLESS
if hyonny even looks at each other they’re like OOOOO HEHE GET A ROOM
most of wayv is .. well .. we know how wayv is
taeyong is so warm to them about it all and it’s super sweet. taeil loves them together and is unintentionally funny saying things about young people and love
the girls are PROTECTIVE of hyeyoung even tho they know johnny is perfect for her
lily is in a permanent state of trying to square up with johnny and hyeyoung thinks it’s funny
they have great reception overall, everyone loves them
sm family loves them TOO and heechul is the REAL captain of their fan club and red velvet as a whole loves them together
do you know how many times they hear “awwwh cute!”
spoiler: it’s a lot
GOD the two try to help lily with her love life and she hates it
they’ll end up trying to help everyone but lily is their focus
they have lots of couple-isms
“baby” “love” “honey” stuff like that
they have inside jokes
SO MANY PICTURES OF EACH OTHER
fashionable ass couple
he watches old films with her
they’re the type of couple to slow dance in the middle of the kitchen
they both know like. they know what the other would order from where, what to do for them after a long/hard day
she knows how to make his coffee perfectly
