I love ur writing sm, like I would worship you if you wrote this request, basically, you are the 9th member of skz, yall are all dating, and today, they all had a concert. The first half of it went fine, but somewhere in the second half, you all heard gunshots, you reacting the fastest, saw them heading to (member of your choice) so you shove them out of the way while you take the bullet (chivalrous ikr). The members all immediately stop the concert despite u reassuring then you could finish (with blood everywhere) then the ending is just comfort and angst bc they didn't sallow u to do anything, and you got bored. Plsss take ur time if ur going to make this, I will literally cherish this with my heart if you make it
đšđ đŠđđ đȘđ đŠ đ„đđđ đ đđŠđđđđ„ đđ đŁ đđ?
Warning: Angst
Summary: Request!
â©âË.ââŸââșââ§
It happened so fast.
One second, Y/N was standing next to Felix and Han, laughing and joking around with them, and the next, there was a blood-curdling scream that shattered the lighthearted atmosphere.
"Guys, duck!" Y/N screamed, her voice sharp and urgent.
She barely had time to process what was happening before instinct took over. In a split second, she shoved Felix and Han out of the way, her hands landing on their shoulders with enough force to knock them off balance. The world seemed to slow as they stumbled back, confusion still clouding their faces.
"Y/Nâwhatâ?" Felix started to say, but his words were cut off by the deafening sound of something heavy crashing against the floor.
The moment she pushed them away, Y/Nâs eyes darted to the source of the danger. She had been watching themâFelix, Han, and the rest of the groupâhaving fun, playing with the toys and gifts they had gotten from STAY. It was supposed to be a lighthearted day, a sign-meet with fans, some laughter, and silly moments. But something had felt off all day. The atmosphere felt thinner, like the air itself was stretched too tight, and Changbin had been out with a stomach bug, so the energy was lower than usual. They didnât want to do the event, but it had been scheduled. They had no choice.
Theyâd gathered so many toys and gifts from STAY that it seemed like they were almost swimming in them. But right now, they were just strolling on stage, talking casually to the fans in the crowd. Y/N had been teasing Chan all dayâplayfully, of course. Then she had moved on to teasing the members of the Racha subunitâFelix and Hanâjust like she always did.
"Y/Nnie, look," Felix giggled, suddenly putting a pair of bunny ears on her head.
Y/N laughed, shaking her head in amusement as she grabbed a pair of oversized sunglasses from one of the gifts. "I look ridiculous," she said, still smiling.
"Let's take a picture!" Han beamed, grabbing the selfie stick and clicking a few shots, each one more ridiculous than the last.
Y/N held up a tiny pony plushie in front of them, laughing at how tiny it was. "Look what STAY got me," she giggled, passing it to the two of them.
The pair squatted down, completely entranced by the toy, their faces lighting up with genuine curiosity. Y/N snapped a few pictures of them, capturing how adorable they looked. She smiled softly, feeling a deep warmth in her chest. These were the moments she treasuredâthe small, quiet seconds when everything felt perfect.
Her gaze shifted over to Hyunjin, who was laughing with his usual carefree energy. She raised an eyebrow, confused, before her eyes landed on Chan.
The sight that met her eyes made her stifle a laugh. Chan, their leader, was wearing a tiara. It was completely ridiculous.
"So silly," she thought, shaking her head with a grin. She opened her mouth to call out to the crowd.
"Stay, don't you think our leader is a little too old to be a princess?" she teased, her voice light and playful.
Before she could even finish her sentence, she heard Chan yell, "Hey!" into the microphone, and a few giggles escaped from the crowd.
STAY responded with loud, drawn-out "nooo's," their laughter ringing out. Y/N rolled her eyes playfully at them but kept her focus on Han and Felix, who were still deeply engrossed in the tiny pony toy.
But something didnât feel right. A strange sense of unease settled in her chest, making her skin crawl. She was on high alert now, her body rigid as her eyes scanned the surroundings. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
And then it happened.
A sound.
It was faint at firstâa click, barely noticeable over the laughter and chatter around her. But it was enough to make Y/N freeze. The sound sent a jolt of adrenaline straight through her, and her military training kicked in. She had been through safety drills before debut, and she knew exactly what that sound was.
A gunshot.
Before she could react, a blur of motion caught her eye. A figureâclad in a large hoodie, with Felixâs SKZOO merch clearly visibleâstood up from the crowd. The personâs face was obscured, but their intent was clear. The girl was shaking, tears streaking down her face, but her hands were steady as she raised the weapon in their direction.
Her heart hammered in her chest. Y/N didnât have time to think. The world moved in slow motion as she lunged forward, adrenaline flooding her body.
"NO!" Y/N screamed, her hands pushing Han and Felix out of the way just as the girl pulled the trigger.
The loud bang of the gunshot reverberated in her ears as Y/N threw herself onto the ground, the sharp, metallic scent of fear thick in the air. Felix and Han hit the floor in a tangle of limbs, their faces contorted in confusion and terror. But Y/N barely noticed.
Her eyes were trained on the girl. The gun had been aimed at the boys, and Y/Nâs body had moved before her mind could even catch up.
Everything happened so fast. One second, they were all laughing and smiling, and the next, Y/N had just saved their lives.
But the danger wasn't over. The moment her body hit the ground, she heard the sound of people shouting, running, and chaos erupting all around her.
Security was swift, moving through the chaos like trained professionals, their hands outstretched to clear the crowd and usher the members away from danger. But in the chaos, Felix crawled toward her, his face twisted in panic. His hands grasped at her arm, pulling her closer as he let out a strangled yelp of distress.
"Y/N! No, no, no!" he cried, his voice breaking.
She could barely move, her body feeling heavy and unresponsive. The adrenaline rush was fading, and all that was left was pain. As security worked to move her out of harm's way, Y/Nâs side felt like it was on fire. It stung with every movement, sharp and unbearable. She forced her eyes open, her vision hazy, and thatâs when she saw it.
Blood.
It was seeping through the fabric of her crop top, dark and spreading quickly. Her breath hitched in her throat.
"Y/N?!" Hanâs voice was frantic, barely audible over the chaos, but she could hear the terror in his tone as he tried to reach her. His voice cracked. "Oh my God⊠Y/N!"
Through the blur of bodies and flashing lights, she saw Chan, Hyunjin, I.N, and Seungmin being pushed away, separated from the group. But even from a distance, Y/N could hear Chan's voiceâloud, desperate, shouting for them.
"Do something!" Felix screamed at the security guard who was already dialing 911, his voice thick with panic.
"Y/N? Can you hear me?" Han sobbed, his hands trembling as he tried to pull off her tight clothes to check the wound, his movements erratic in his panic. Felix had moved to her side, gently cradling her head in his hands, trying to keep her conscious.
"We need backup!" the security guard shouted, his voice tense as he spoke into his radio.
Y/N could barely register what was happening. Everything was moving too fast, and she felt too much, too much pressure, too much noise, too many people around her.
"Guys? Where are you?!" I.N shouted, pushing through the commotion, his voice filled with alarm as he searched frantically for his friends.
"Get Chan, I.N!" Felix yelled, his eyes wild with fear. "She got shot! Get him now!"
I.N froze for a second, stunned by the reality of the situation. His gaze swept over Y/Nâs body, the blood staining her clothes, and his eyes went wide in shock. "What the hell?!" he gasped, his voice shaking as he took a step back.
"Get Chan, now! Go!" Han shouted again, his voice hoarse from the panic that was threatening to consume him. He reached down, trying to stop the bleeding, but his hands shook too much to do anything useful. He was a mess, just as terrified as Felix.
"Ow..." Y/N gasped, the pain intensifying now that the adrenaline was wearing off. A sharp, searing ache shot through her abdomen, and she couldnât stop the scream that tore from her throat. It was raw, desperate, and filled with a pain she couldnât even understand.
Everyone was crowding around her, too many hands, too much noise, too much pressure. She couldnât breathe. She couldnât think. She wanted them all to stop.
"Felix? Han?" she gasped, her chest rising and falling in shallow, panicked breaths. She felt like she was suffocating. "Please... please, let me go." Her voice was weak, barely above a whisper. She couldnât stand itâeverything was too much. She wanted space. She wanted air.
"Baby, weâre right here," Felixâs voice was soft, but there was desperation in it. He was cradling her head, his fingers gentle against her skin. "Weâre not going anywhere. We're right here, okay?"
"Chan... Chan..." Y/N whimpered, her hands trembling as she reached out for anything, anything to grab onto. Her fingers found nothing but air. She could feel the pain growing, spreading through her body, and she knew she couldnât last much longer without him.
"Chan..." she repeated, her voice breaking as she squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself to hold on.
The paramedics were on her now, their hands moving quickly as they hooked her up to various machines, pushing IVs into her arms, trying to stabilize her. Y/N barely felt it. The sharp prick of the needles was nothing compared to the agony she felt in her abdomen.
"We need space!" one of the paramedics barked, his voice cold and professional, as the others worked to stabilize her. The security guards, looking frantic themselves, began pushing Felix and Han away to give the paramedics room to work.
"No!" Felix shouted, struggling against the security guardâs hold. His heart was hammering in his chest. "I need to be right here! Sheâs claustrophobicâdonât you see? Sheâll panic if you take us away!"
"Please, we need space to work!" the paramedic insisted, his voice hardening as he tried to maintain control of the situation.
But Felix wasnât backing down. He twisted in the guardâs grip, desperation clear on his face. "No! You donât understand! Sheâll freak out! She needs us! She needs me!"
"Where is she?! Where is she?!" Chanâs voice rang through the air, raw with panic as he shoved his way through the crowd. His eyes were bloodshot, his face streaked with tears, and his entire body trembled with rage and fear.
I.N had reached him, breathless from running, and before he could say anything, Chanâs eyes locked onto him, wild and frantic. "Where is she?!" he demanded again, his voice breaking.
"Sheâs over here! Sheâs over here!" I.N shouted, pointing through the crowd. "Theyâre working on her, Chan. Theyâre trying to save her."
The scene in front of him was like a nightmare. Chanâs heart stopped for a moment as he caught sight of Y/N, bloodied and pale, surrounded by paramedics, with Felix and Han still hovering anxiously at her side. His chest tightened, and for a moment, he couldnât breathe.
He had to get to her. He had too. He couldnât lose her.
With one final push, Chan broke through the crowd, his eyes wide, his breath ragged. "Y/N!" he cried, reaching for her.
His hands gripped hers with a desperation that didnât care about the blood soaking into his clothes. The warmth of her skin, so pale and lifeless, felt like the last connection he had to her.
"We need to transfer her now," the paramedic said, his voice steady but urgent. "Iâm sorry, sir. You can ride with us if youâd like."
Chan barely heard him. His focus was on Y/N, on her cold hand slipping from his as the paramedics gently lifted her onto the stretcher. His grip faltered, but he didnât want to let go. Please donât leave me, his mind screamed, but reality was moving too fast.
âY-yeah, Iâm coming,â he whispered, wiping his face with the back of his hand, trying to clear the tears, but it didnât matter. They kept coming. He took a shaky breath and stood up, his legs feeling like they might collapse beneath him. He had to move.
âI need Lee Know. Where is he?â Chan asked, his voice hoarse as he searched frantically for a familiar face.
One of the managers, still on the phone, glanced up from her conversation. âHis changing room. He doesnât know anythingâs going on right now,â she said quickly, cutting off the call. âGo get Lee Know now,â she ordered another staff member, who immediately ran off in search of the missing member.
Chan nodded, turning to go after Y/Nâs stretcher, but a shout stopped him in his tracks.
âHyung!â
His heart skipped a beat. He turned, finding Felix in I.Nâs arms, his face streaked with tears, his body shaking violently. Han, still in a state of panic, had managed to get through the crowd and was now crumpled into Chanâs arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
âThis is my fault, hyung! This is all my fault!â Han choked out between gasps for air, his voice thick with guilt. âShe wonât forgive me, she wonât forgive meâŠâ
Chanâs heart broke for him. He pulled Han closer, trying to soothe him, even though his own chest felt like it was being crushed. âHey⊠shh,â he cooed softly, brushing his hand through Hanâs hair. âStop. Itâs not your fault. You hear me? None of this is your fault. Donât think like that.â
Hanâs sobs only grew louder, and Chan, desperate to calm him, took off his sweater and wrapped it around Hanâs shoulders. He was only wearing a vest, and Chan could see how shaken and cold he was. âLetâs go to the hospital, yeah?â Chan said, his voice firm but gentle.
Han nodded slowly, wiping his face with a trembling hand. âYeah⊠yeah, hyung.â
Before they could move, another voice cut through the commotion, sharp and full of rage.
âHyung?! What the hell?!â
Chan turned to find Lee Know standing at the edge of the crowd, his face flushed with anger and confusion. His brow was furrowed, and his eyesâbloodshot from lack of sleep and stressâwere scanning the room in disbelief.
âWhy wasnât I told before? Where is she? What the hell happened?â Lee Know was seething, his voice low but furious, and Chan felt his stomach drop.
âSheâs with the paramedics,â Chan said quickly, trying to keep his voice steady despite the chaos. âI need you to take the kids and meet me at the hospital. Please.â
Lee Know barely seemed to hear him. His eyes were still darting around the room, searching for something, anything, that could make sense of the mess. âOkay, but if she dies, I swear to GodâŠâ His voice trembled with emotion, a dangerous edge creeping into his words. âIâll sue this company. I donât care about my image. If anything happens to herâŠâ
âLee Know, not now, pleaseâŠâ Chan interrupted, his voice pleading as he grabbed his phone from the assistant who had been trying to help him. He needed to leave. He needed to be with her. âJust take care of the kids. Get them to the hospital.â
Lee Know nodded sharply, his face tight with a mix of anger and worry. He didnât say anything more as he reached for Han, pulling him gently out of Chanâs arms. âI got you, Han. Letâs go.â
Chan didnât have time to process it all. He was already rushing through the crowd, trying to catch up with the paramedics. His mind was a blur, thoughts racing too fast to make sense of them. All that mattered was Y/N. He had to be with her.
As he finally caught up with the paramedics, his heart skipped again. He sat in the back as he watched them work. He could hear them talking to each other, medical jargon flying over his head, but he didnât care about any of it. His eyes were fixed on Y/Nâs pale form, her chest rising and falling with the aid of an oxygen mask. Her face was still, and the blood on her clothes haunted him, more than any words could.
"Y/NâŠ" he whispered, his voice cracking. "Please, stay with me. Please."
One of the paramedics glanced at him, then at Y/N. "Weâre almost there, sir. We need you to stay calm. Weâll do everything we can."
But Chan barely heard them. His grip on his phone tightened, his thumb brushing over the screen as he dialed Changbin, his mind only focused on one thing: whoever did this had to pay.

Plleeassee 'you can sit on my lap' with Halsin PLEASEEE
ur wish is my command I did SFW bc it felt right but lemme no if u want different :3
It was always the same, which was sort of what annoyed you. It's not that your day to day fights had been particularly hard it was just the constant bumps and scrapes and bruises that weighed you down. Never enough damage to justify wasting healing magic, but just enough that you were uncomfortable in your day to day. You left some wounds to heal even once you're back at camp, preferring to let the others get fixed up before you. Today you could feel the itchy irritation of a cut healing over, right across the bridge of your nose. It was a constant bother, like a bug flying around your face, a tickle that would not subside no matter which way you scrunched your nose up.
"This city air isn't doing anything for me either." You feel Halsin's hand come down on your shoulder, heavy and warm. For a moment you were confused, you'd not complained at all since setting off for the day, then you realized your discomfort may be less subtle than you thought.
"Oh..." You wave, "who am I to complain?" You did enjoy Halsin, well perhaps more than enjoy.... given your late night trysts. Though he was still unfamiliar to you in some ways, and lacking a formal name for what the two of you shared often left you uncertain in your day to day with him.
"Please, I think this city would benefit from some complaining." He looks down at you, "I thought I was the only one."
"No..no.." You resist the urge to peel the scab over the bridge of your nose away, you were certain you'd start gushing blood all over, which given your current location made no sense at all. It had actually been a rather tame day so far, and it was already almost over.
"I think even the most dedicated Baldurians have it in them to complain about the smell from time to time." You give in, and start to chip away at the corner of the scab closest to your tear duct.
Halsin just laughs, "I see, well I suppose it's good to know I'm not alone..." He removes his hand from your shoulder and looks around a bit as you walk, though he stays close to you.
You can't help but hiss at the feeling of your skin peeling back, beyond the first wound, you supposed that was karma for picking it.
"Are you alright?" Halsin turns over his shoulder at you, "I heard you-" He looks down at your hand by your nose, "leave that alone." He bats your hand away, "you should have let me clean it up days ago, see now? You've made it worse."
"It's itchy." You rub the bridge of your nose for emphasis, "and I can't help it. I've always picked at my scabs, where do you think all these cool scars came from?"
"I can't say I doubt that. But still, this city is dirty, it's best to not bare an open wound to this kind of air." He procures a small cloth and dabs at the blood as it appears, "it's good you didn't peel open this whole thing, and it's a wonder you've not complained till now."
You can't help but flush at the attention, if anyone with you notices they spare you, "I'm alright, I've dealt with much worse."
"I'm sure you have, but there's no need with me around.... To tell you the truth," He dabs the small cloth with his tongue and wipes the dirt and grime away from the edges of the newly opened flesh, "I enjoy doting on you."
You look down at your boots to avoid looking at him, you can feel your ears burning.
"It's hard to see the damage out here, do you think you can hold out till we set up camp for the day?"
"Of course-" You swallow your embarrassment, "I'm okay like this, I'll live."
"Oh I hope so." Halsin is smiling at you, "who knows what I would do otherwise." He hands you the cloth, "keep this, incase it bleeds anymore."
"Thank you." You look up at him, "you've been a big help."
"Don't thank me, just.." He guides your hand holding the cloth up to your nose, and uses it to cover the wound, "keep it clean until we settle in for the night." You can only nod up at him.
True to your word you do keep your wound covered in the cloth for the rest of your journey that day. It was a long one, boring too. As much as the little battles left you irate, a boring day of gathering information and talking to every no name on the street was equally irksome.
When you get back to camp Halsin seems busy with Gale, who despite his best efforts is always the most banged up by the end of the day. You almost feel bad for him, until you see him bright and pristine every morning. So you sit by the fire, content on sharpening a stick into some sort of miniature spear, humming to yourself.
When Halsin finds you all of the dark bark has been scraped off the stick leaving it white and brittle looking.
"You hide in plain sight you know?" He offers you a hand and you take it, allowing him to hoist you up to your feet.
"It's one of my many talents." You toss the sharpened stick down, "how's Gale?"
"He's fine, I apologize, I should have come to you first."
"No," You laugh, "I'm sure he needed it more than me. You're here now."
"I am." He smiles at that, wider than you'd ever previously given yourself credit for, "come, let me see." He waves you closer and leans down toward you.
Once you've closed most of the gap you feel his eyes wander beyond the gash over your nose, down to your neck and collarbones, all to way to your wrists.
"Now that we're close like this...when was the last time you've been healed? Has Jaheria been taking up the job in my stead?" He seems almost offended at the thought.
"No-" You shake your head, "No, I've been mostly alright."
"Alright? You're practically covered in cuts and bruises- let's go someplace more private, you should have a once over." He guides you with a hand sprawled out between your shoulder blades, not leaving room for protest.
"You should have come to me sooner." He breaks the silence once you're away from camp, surrounded by trees and brush.
"You're always helping the others, I'm used to this, I'd rather they get what they need." You insist, gesturing vaguely to yourself.
"You can all have what you need." Halsin seems perplexed, "there's more than enough healing magic to go around, you don't have to worry about that."
"well it must be exhausting, constantly casting spells, you're always taking care of the others, what about you?"
"What about me?" Halsin tilts his head at you quizzically, "I'm alright too."
"Well who takes care of you?"
"When you live as long as I have," He starts tending to some of the smaller cuts on your arms, "you learn to take care of yourself. It comes with time."
"That's not fair." You frown, "everyone relies on you. It must be a heavy weight, especially with no one to lean on, or to rely on to care for you."
"You." Halsin sits on an old stump, "I have you. We care for each other....unless I'm mistaken."
"You're not." You allow him to turn you around, inspect you every which way for any major damage left untended.
"Good. Come here." He waves you into him but you stand, flushed and confused before him.
"Here." He gestures again, "you can sit in my lap."
Nervously you do, slotting yourself against him. It hadn't been many times but you'd sought his company before, and the feeling of his large hand cupped around you thigh was welcome, almost calming. It doesn't take very much magic at all to get you right again, and you're glad to accept it, at this point the constant discomfort was bordering on pain.
"You must be exhausted, they were small injuries but they were plenty, it must have worn on you." His hand spreads over the small of your back, "I meant what I said before." On his lap it's much easier for him to rest his head against your chest, you feel his hair tickling the side of your neck as he does.
"I enjoy caring for you, perhaps it's self serving, but please allow me the pleasure of it more often."
"I wasn't sure-" You flush at the sudden tenderness, it wasn't brand new, nor was it unwelcome, but it was still fresh, still took getting used to. "I didn't want to burden you."
"Be sure now." He picks his head up, "you're more than asset to hinder or help me me.... and certainly more than a friend." He spares a glance down to your hand, where it has wrapped around his bicep. "Don't be modest, when you ask for me, I'm happy to go to you. If I can bring you any comfort on the road ahead, then I'd be honored to."
"Thank you, Halsin." You rest your hand on the side of his neck and he hums at the feeling, glancing between your bodies then back to your face.
"You don't need to thank me," His hand slides along the divot of your spine, a soft touch made firm by the rough skin of his palms, "just come to me, whenever you need, even when you don't need to, but only want to. I do miss you after our nights together. I'd take comfort in knowing you feel the same."
"I do.." You nod, "I just hate to steal you away when the others-"
"Steal me away all you like," He laughs, "Gods, that sounds heavenly. I'm sure the others can manage a few hours." He kisses you for the first time that day. Which wasn't unusual, often he waited for more private moments to voice and show his affections, it was welcome and warm and you were glad to be on the receiving end of his affections.
"And knowing you feel the same is all the better." He wraps his arms around you in a bear hug perfectly fitting of the man giving it.
"I'm grateful to have spent this time enjoying you." He takes a deep breath, like he's trying to get as much of your scent as possible.
"Can we stay for a bit? Like this?" You pull back and pin away a stray strand of his hair, his chest huffs with a light airy chuckle as he nods.
"Of course, but you'll have to tear me away when you're done. I fear I won't want to go anywhere once I've settled down with you on me like this."
He resumes his bear hugging and despite the tightness of the hug, and the closeness of your bodies you don't feel cramped at all.

hate post under the cut! this is so petty and purely a form of stress relief bc itâs finals season and i need some unserious venting. do not engage if ur a fan of buckt*mmy :) thanks
truly i have no words for this one. Girl what do you mean That Ship brought you so much joy you started watching 911 for them, and then stopped when they broke up? this isnât like that egregious by their standards it just. it just boggles the brain.
why the fuck would chris meddle in this? these are grown ass men and he is a teenager who has a whole world of other problems, be serious. I also love how Those Shippers are so adamant that buck isnât like that important or intertwined with Chris, up until they can use Chris as a plot point for their (bad) ship
okay so first of allâthe 118 were never his friends. Like we gotta get that straight. He (canât even say That Man bc thatâs too ace attorney coded LOL) literally made chim & hens professional lives like, miserable? He was an active proponent of discomfort and harm and you think that the 118 is supposed to be on his side ever? no.
also like between Buck and Him, the 118 would never ever choose him. Like what the fuck does OP mean âthe breakup has proven they arenât his friendsâ as if there was something to disprove? There was no evidence suggesting that the 118 were his friends for that guy to even feel betrayed by. They just did not give a fuck about him.
youâre just making him italian to give him a cute plot point italian grandma? Talk about making him more and more eddie coded⊠like we already have Abuela we donât need another grandma who speaks a diff language and has cute little names for buck. like this is literally just ripping off of eddies character bc you have nothing better to give this cardboard man who is Eddie Lite in every other way as well. (sorry to OP not a dig on your actual writing, itâs just the eddie-ification of your blorbo that bothers me)
WHAT IS YOU BITCHES OBSESSION WITH SAL? IF IM REMEMBERING CORRECTLY SAL WAS ALSO A WEIRD RACIST FREAK! are you weird and racist? is that why youâre obsessed with weird racists? grow up.
GET BUCKS NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH how dare you suggest that a song could apply to buck & temu and also sal/temu? gross. ALSO see above for my criticism of sal & temu obsessed weirdos.
so you think a racist, disrespectful clown is easier to stomach than someone having safe, sane, consensual sex? Like let me remind youâTemu was ridiculously paternalistic towards Buck all the time, and never respected him (first date, the way he talked about him to hen and karen) and is also canonically racist and misogynistic and also apparently has no remorse over the way he treated his beard or no respect for her as a human⊠and you think THAT is easier to stomach than a guy having casual sex? shows where your priorities lie.
GET MY GIRLS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. he was so dismissive of their concerns in that deleted scene and u want more of those interactions? no baby. absolutely not.
el em ef ay oh. thatâs all.
why the FUCK would he be involved, bffr. like practically, we know this is an athena plot. and also. DING DONG THE WITCH IS FUCKING DEAD and heâs not coming back. cope. seethe.
ugh i canât add more images? okay iâll just transcribe the post itâs short. basically itâs a snippet of a scene where Temu says âIâve got your backâ, because of course they have nothing better to do than steal from the buddie dynamic. like. thatâs just embarassing.

So @missroro wanted someone to write where sheâs Jake sister and mated with tsuâtey and is the fun aunt so here it is
Itâs just gonna be some Headcannons some drabness here and there
And Iâll make a part 2 to this weâre u track the kids how to surf
You went on the mission with Jake obviously but you were already a scientist Jake was just replacing your dead brother therefore you both have avatars now
Why did they need 2 sullys that was unanswered
You havenât spoke to Jake for years so it was lowkey kinda awkward
Norm worked with you so he was familiar with you while in your training but Jake he was gonna take done getting used to
Now even though u and Jake werenât as close as you used to ur didnât matter he was still over protective over you
When u guys got off the ship and you waited for him as u were walking off someone catcalled at you (u can make up a person if u want) Jake do a whole 360 and was about to kick some ass then you grabbed his wheel chair and pushed him through the building saying âno Jake not today not todayâ
While he was getting the military introduction you were setting up in the lab taking a look at your avatar then looking at your brothers you missed tommy but atleast jake was here
OKAY IM DONE BUILDING THE PLOT
so when ur in your avatar and jake get chased by a thanthor (I think thatâs what there called correct me if Iâm wrong) you go after him you still cared about your brother
While he tried to kill the many animals you stopped him by saying âthis isnât the marines Jake were in a different planet and were not superior here okay?â
Then neytiri came in at saved yâallâs asses and went to the village when tsuâtey and some other hunter of the clan came you couldnât help but stare he was very attractive
When you were in the home tree there were all less rough with you like they were Jake
And instead of neytiri teaching you there was it was tsuâtey you grew close to him fond of him and even loved him
Now of course Jake knew he was your brother so he teased you about it every single day and you swear your goona cut his eyes out but you teased him abt neytiri
Tsuâtey took you somewhere the night u became one of them he knew it was wrong he as supposed to marry neytiri but his heart tugged at you and he took you to a different way they see ewya and mated with you
Okay now the war you all fought hard and long you tried to save tsuâtey but he told you âewya has called me home my love she will one day tooâ and he died
Now Jake was your rock your armor so you cried to him for days weeks until u felt mood swings, throwing up on hunts with neytiri then she took you to her mother âyou are with child both of youâ you and neytiri looked at each other crazy but started laughing
You gave birth a few weeks after neytiri but it wasnât one baby after you thought u weâre done the pain came right back and it was another child a boy and a girl
So you raised your children along with jakes you were silly fun and other things
When you all had to leave your children had always been curious people so they were excited to meet new people and new ways
But it didnât go as planned Ronal grabbed you sons tail and you snarled at her Jake grabbed your shoulder as a way of saying STFU
But as Jake was hard in his children you were always there for your children and his they came and cried to you if he was being to harsh or too cold you told them donât worry about it and once they slept you would find your brother
Your brother been afraid of you since your were kids and he still is even if he is tutok mato so you told him off enough to wake up the camp his wife heard nodding at your words and Jake just sat there silent bc he knew you would fucking kill him if he talked back
But you would all have play date and take the children to be children besides Jake treating them like soldiers
When Neteyam got shot you saved him just in time sending Loâak to get things from the sea that could help him
Jake never let you forget that he cherishes you and thanks ewya for you every single day because not only did you save his child you saved him

Ur all cute too. Ily
1106 BC
Time in 1106 BC follows some kind of construct that the author has not deemed necessary to research, but if the Georgian calendar (or indeed days of the week) had been invented, the day our story begins would be in mid April, on a Tuesday, around 3pm.Â
The weather in Heaven is, as you would expect, perfect. The company is not.
âSorry to bring you in here like this,â you say, as the thirteenth angel of the day takes a seat on the other side of your desk.
Thereâs a spiel to this. Angels have a tendency to lean towards the dramatic, so youâve learned the ways of âsoftening the blowâ, as the humans call it. Doling out Godâs punishments wasnât your preferred assignment, but itâs the role that was dropped in your lap after you quit the last - and youâre not in a position to refuse Her again. Here goes another.Â
âI hate to be the bearer of bad news but-â
âLet me guess,â the other angel interjects. âSheâs demoting me?â
This is unusual. The angels know Godâs wrath, but theyâre usually surprised to find out when said wrath is directed toward them specifically. Not this one, heâs sitting there, arms crossed, foot tapping impatiently, waiting for you to rip off the bandaid.Â
âUhh. A temporary banishment actually.â
He stares at you. âIt was only a little miracle.âÂ
âThree very large miracles, Iâll have you know. Weâre not supposed to be bringing people back from the dead anymore.â
âSince when?â he asks, rather like a petulant human toddler.Â
You frown. âSince protocol changed - didnât you read the memo?â The angel shakes his head. âGodâs decided to save those types of miracles for someone really special in-â You pause to check your watch â- a thousand years, give or take a century.âÂ
âSpecial how?â The angel asks, sitting up a little straighter.Â
âYou know weâre not told details of The Great Plan.â You flip the file shut. âWell, it seems like you know the issue at hand, and thereâs little else to discuss-â
Thereâs a look of unease creeping over his assigned face that gives you pause. His fingertips drum on his knee. Too human for a heavenly body. âAre you alright?â
âSheâs not- theyâre not going to cut-â
âOh! Goodness no,â youâre quick to reassure. âOh no, youâd have to do something really awful for that, like, question her authority like Lucifer did.â His laugh comes out like a bark, and youâre confused because it wasnât a joke. âNo, but I am terribly sorry to say that youâre being sentenced to four-hundred years on Earth.â
He blinks twice. âExcuse me?â
âFour-hundred years - horrid, I know. But God does say the punishment must fit the deed-â
Youâre interrupted again, this time by the kind of laughter that starts as disbelief and quickly has his shoulders shaking and tears rolling down his cheeks. Most unusual.Â
âYouâre telling me I get to spend near half a century on Earth?â
âWhat do you mean âget toâ?â The thought of even spending ten years in such a place sends shivers right through your wings. âYou wonât be able to return to heaven at all during that time. No correspondence with anyone, unless of course we contact you first.â Heâs positively glowing and you canât understand it. âYouâll have to live amongst humans-â
Heâs standing now, moving to the screen and zooming in on earth. âCan I pick where?â
You move to stand next to him. Heâs zoomed in so far, you canât quite tell where itâs supposed to be. In truth, you spend very little time looking over Godâs preferred planet, choosing instead to focus on the vastness of the universe in all its glory. You prefer the stars and the galaxies and all of their colours.Â
âMay I?â
âSorry, I donât understand.â
âCan I choose where to live? Will I have a role?âÂ
Thereâs nothing like this in the training manual. No one ever has these questions. Theyâre too busy crying, wailing for another chance to stay in heaven, let alone look excited as this one does.Â
âI suppose you could,â you say slowly. âAnd no - thereâs no role.â You wait for the penny to drop, but he doesnât seem to get it. âPointlessness is the point of this sentence.â
Wonder breaks out in his expression, and he turns back to the screen and zooms in on a peninsular youâve never noticed before. âCan you drop me here?â
âWhereâs here?â
âGojoseon.â
âWhy?âÂ
âGood people.â His smile spreads wide. âGood food.â
You gasp. âYouâve consumed their provisions? Youâve eaten?â
He looks at you in shock. âYou havenât?â
Of course you flaming havenât! Even if you could stomach it - how in heaven would you get the opportunity to dine on Earth, what with all the work piling up in your pigeonhole and the lack of angels rights to paid time off, not to mention a union?
Your expression must say it all because he laughs again and says, âWell then visit me sometime, Iâll cook for you.âÂ
âYouâre very peculiar.â
âYes,â he says with a shrug. âI get that a lot.âÂ
You move back over to the desk to complete the rest of the paperwork while he stands there, still looking at the map with a satisfied smile.
After a few moments, he says, âIâll need a name if Iâm to live with humans.â
You find his given name at the top of the page. Soterasiel.Â
âWhatâs wrong with the one youâve got?â
He shrugs again. âDoesnât quite roll off the tongue for everyone.â
âI hear John is rather popular these days,â you muse, still checking boxes. âAnd Abraham. Or what about Jos-â
âSeokjin.â
âBless you.â
âNo, I mean- Seokjin.â He moves to sit back down. You donât quite like it, the way he walks, like heâs got a bravado he hasnât done anything to earn - rather the opposite in fact, given his grievous error in judgement. âThatâs my new name.âÂ
âOh-â You glance up at him. âIt suits you.â
Seokjin beams. Heâs quiet for the next few moments, but you can sense his eagerness as he watches your fingertip move down the page. When all the documents are signed, you show him over to the chute, and he peers into it.
âThis is the one-way?âÂ
You nod. âWeâll send someone to relieve you once your sentence is up.â
He steps inside without hesitation, and itâs almost too late. You've been itching with curiosity since you opened his file, so you blurt out exactly what youâre not supposed to ask.
âWhy did you do it?â
Seokjin tilts his head, confused.
âWhy did you bring those humans back from the dead?â you clarify.
His eyes soften. âTheyâre my favourites.âÂ
Thereâs a pregnant pause as you regard him. You donât understand. Favourites? Angels arenât supposed to have favourites. Angels arenât supposed to be anything like him. Maybe you havenât met enough to speak on the matter.
âCome visit me, wonât you? I get the impression youâll like it down there.â
And before you can scoff at the very idea of visiting a banished (albeit temporarily) angel on earth, the chute opens up below him and heâs gone.
Itâs difficult to get back to work after all that. All day there are punishments to give out in Godâs name, but thankfully theyâre nothing as extreme as that one. You get through a few sanctions, several warnings filed, and a strongly worded letter to the Department of Animals to remind them to stop creating wasps (apparently earth has enough) and then (at what would usually be known as 6pm), like clockwork, Turiel enters your office.Â
Heâs another one you canât get a read on, but in an entirely different way. He came up the ranks quickly, and became your boss without the necessary qualifications within a single century. Heâs kind of course, but heâs a Watcher, so naturally he watches everything. Being watched makes you uncomfortable.Â
âHow is everything?â
âWonderful, thank you.â
âWhat happened with the banishment this morning?â
âWith Seok- Soterasiel? He took it rather well.â Turiel stares at you, and you clear your throat to fill the awkward quiet. âSeemed quite happy about it, actually.â
Turiel frowns. âThatâs odd.â
âYes, quite.â
âWe should watch that one,â he says, already making his way out. âOh- you remembered to strip his miracles, correct?â
Strip his- why in heaven would you do that? It seems horribly cruel enough just to leave them there, let alone take their ability to do anything worthwhile.Â
âSorry?â
Turiel stops on the spot and turns, frown deepening further. âTell me you saw the memo from Metatron? Weâre to strip any and all banishments of their miracles going forward. Too many mishaps and too many angel turned demon that still have their powers.â
If you had any blood in your face it would surely drain. No, you havenât seen any blasted memo. The pigeonhole is stuffed to burst and itâs something youâve been meaning to work through, you truly have, but thereâs so little time in the day and- and- heavens, heâs still staring at you. Tell him the truth. Tell him you didnât take Seokjinâs miracles. Theyâd overlook one error, especially as itâs the first offence. Surely?
âNo need to worry,â you hear yourself say, voice unnaturally high. âOf course I did.âÂ
Turiel blinks, smiles with relief, and shuts the door behind him as he leaves.
For the first time in your existence, youâre tempted to curse.Â
879 BC
6:43pm. Patchy rain showers through til 8.
Seokjinâs home looks like nothing. A shack at best. Itâs hardly worthy of the name home but you still need his sodding permission to cross the threshold, so you knock and wait, huddling as close to the door as possible to keep dry. As the rain pelts your back you bitterly wonder why angels have to wait at the threshold for permission to enter. Itâs utterly beyond you, surely such a restraint could be reserved for those who are up to no good?
(You pointedly ignore the little voice saying that you are actually up to no good.)
âOh my God,â Seokjin says when he opens the door (if it werenât for the threshold force youâd keel over) and your nose wrinkles automatically at the blasphemy. âItâs you.â
âMay I come in?â you say, too busy watching for Watchers in your peripherals to take in the sight of the angel in front of you. It would be terrible to be caught now, after the web of lies you weaved in order to get an hour off work.Â
âWhy?â he asks, suspicion lacing his voice. âYouâre not bringing me back early are you?â
âOh heavens no,â you say, starting to feel a little desperate, pushing the wet hair from your eyes. âI forgot something in your documents, a quick signature and Iâll be off in a jiffy.â
âYou forgot something?â
âYes-âÂ
âAnd you decided two hundred and twenty-seven years later was the right time to fix that?â
âTime slips away when youâre working!âÂ
Seokjin rolls his eyes. âYour lot really need to unionise.â
âShh!â you hiss. âLet me in, please?â
âAlright, alright,â he says, stepping aside. âCome on in. Take your shoes off at the door.â
âI donât have shoes,â you say as you push past him. A little miracle as soon as youâre out of the rain has you dry and warm again. What a pity, you think, that Seokjin will have to live without these little perks for the rest of his banishment. The sympathy you feel for him catches you unawares. âWhat are shoes?â
Seokjin smiles. âThought you were a watcher?â
Part Cherubim part Virtue actually, but you wonât be telling Seokjin that. Thatâs between you and God. You bustle past him inside the shack and you can finally relax. All protocols are being broken right now, but with the teeny tiny miracle that you performed earlier, only you and Seokjin will know about this clandestine meeting. Â
Seokjinâs home is much nicer on the inside. Rather homely. And clean. And it smells good. What is that smell?Â
âI just made some tea, would you like a cup?âÂ
Drinking? Apparently you canât hide your expression because Seokjin's responding smile is mirthful. âHavenât changed much, have you?â
âI suppose not, no.â
Thereâs no time to dilly dally like this. If youâre not back in the office soon, thereâll be questions you wonât know how to answer without twisting the truth. An angel canât be going around telling lies. Itâs uncouth.Â
Seokjin busies himself at the table while you unroll the documents. The scroll is horribly long, but eventually you find the line you missed all those years ago. You cough to get his attention, and he looks up and takes the scroll from your outstretched hand.Â
But then he starts to read. Oh goodness gracious. You hadnât expected that. He seemed the sort that wouldnât get hung up on the details, that would trust an angel (one like yourself in particular) implicitly. Itâs offensive, actually, that he doesnât trust that youâre not trying to pull the wool over his eyes, even though that might be exactly what you were trying to do. Are you not trustworthy? Are you not angelic?
Seokjin frowns. Uh oh.Â
âYouâre taking my miracles?â
âUh-â
âWhy?â
âWell- uh. Itâs protocol, you see.â
Seokjin stares. The silence is palpable.
âYou fucked up.â
You gasp. âDonât curse!â
âYou did!â he says, eyes wild. âYou fucked up when you sent me down here!â
Thereâs heat creeping up your neck.
âIt really doesnât need to be such a big to-do,â you splutter. âJust sign the form, and Iâll be on my way and then youâll be back in Heaven in no time at all!â
âBut I wonât have my miracles?â
âYouâll get them back on your return!âÂ
âWhat if I need them?â
âYou wonât.â
âIâve needed them a lot, actually,â Seokjin insists. âYouâve no idea how many sticky situations Iâve been in thanks to all the creatures our Heavenly Mother made!â
âOh!â you exclaim. âHave you seen a tiger yet? Those are my favourite.â
Seokjin looks like he might slap you.
The door opens.
âSeokjinie-hyung! Weâre back!â
We? Whoâs we?
We are three men, one short, one tall, and one somewhere in the middle.Â
The room is very suddenly too small and too quiet as all of you stare at each other.Â
The small oneâs eyes, wide and curious, dart between you and Seokjin.Â
âWhoâs this, Seokjin hyung?â
âUh-â you say.
âUhh-â says Seokjin.
You canât think of a human name. Not a single, blasted one comes to mind. Of course, humans know angels exist, but you canât go around telling everyone who you are when youâre not exactly here on official business. Their mouths blabber too much. Word on Earth gets around faster than in Heaven.
âThis is-â
âOh my God-â the somewhere-in-the-middle one exclaims, while you grimace. âYouâre that angel hyung told us about!â
You turn to glare at Seokjin, who is all of sudden very interested in the wood grain on the table. His ears are strawberry red. Strawberries were one of your ideas, youâd know that colour anywhere.
âYou told them?â you say, incredulously. âWhat were you thinking?â
Seokjin sighs. âTheyâre not going to say anything.â
âYeah!â the small one says. âDonât worry, weâve kept Seokijn hyungâs secret for two cent-â
Heâs cut off by a loud cough from the tall one, but youâre not stupid. Humans arenât supposed to be alive that long anymore, not since The Great Flood when God finally got sick of Noah and his bothersome family - that was one of the few memos you read.Â
âSeokjin-â you say slowly. Heâs pointedly looking everywhere else but your face. âAre these the same humans you told me about during our first meeting?â
The small one grins. âOh hyung, I knew you loved us more than you let on.â
Two centuries theyâve been alive - at least. Oh Goodness. You need to report it, but how could you without telling them you didnât do your job properly.Â
âYou donât need to say anything to Heaven,â Seokjin says. âWhat they donât know doesnât hurt them.â
âThe protocol-â you start, but youâre cut off by a groan.
âFuck the protocol! Donât you want to think for yourself for once? Didnât She give us free will for a reason?â
âShe gave them free will, not us!â you reason. âWeâre to do as weâre told!â
âWhy? What for?â
âThe Great Plan!â
âThe Great Plan-â he parrots in the most condescending tone. â-is supposed to be ineffable. If we knew what was in it, we wouldnât have a choice. If I didnât have free will, I wouldnât have been able to turn them into vampires.â
You frown, confused. Vampires werenât in the handbook, but then you never could keep up. âWhatâs a vampire?â
Seokjin swallows thickly. âUh. Nevermind that. The point is, if this wasnât in The Great Plan, if it wasnât written, would I have even been able to do it?â
The thought gives you pause. Heâs got a point, actually. The Archangels talk often of fate and destiny and what She wrote. No one knows the plan, of course, and it can change at Her will, but the whole point of this charade is that youâre all to trust in Godâs Plan, regardless of what happens.
Thereâs a long moment of silence. The three men- or rather, vampires- are still just standing there watching the two of you argue.Â
The small one finally breaks the tension and introduces himself. âIâm Jimin,â he says.
You nod, and give your name. He repeats it, butchering the pronunciation, but of course you expected that. Humans have never quite managed to get their tongue around it. You muse for a moment if you should give yourself a more human name, like Seokjin, but your thoughts are interrupted by the large one.Â
âIâm Namjoon,â he says, and points to the last one, who gives a tentative wave. âThis is Taehyung.â
You nod again, and start to feel a little ridiculous.
Okay, so the plan needs to be adjusted. You canât take away Seokjinâs miracles without getting him to undo whatever he did to the human-vampires.Â
âHow long have you all been alive?âÂ
Namjoon glances at Seokjin, who nods. âAround three hundred years.â
âOkay,â you say. âAnd do you plan on dying any time soon?â
The three of them stare at you. âItâs not something weâd considered, no,â whispers Jimin.Â
âRight,â you say, and then turn to Seokjin. âYou need to fix this, make them human again. Iâve got to go, theyâll be looking for me, but Iâll be back soon to check in on you so youâd better have done it by then.â
Seokjinâs Adam's apple bobs in his throat. Itâs⊠somewhat pleasant to look at.
âPleasure to meet you everyone,â you say tightly to Seokjinâs friends. âEnjoy the rest of your lives.â
You catch their confused expressions shift into something horrified before you appear back at your desk in Heaven. It leaves you befuddled. That was a perfectly pleasant first interaction with humans that are aware of your celestial-ness - youâre not quite sure what they could be so bothered about.
827 BC
Early Autumn. 8:12am. Current Earthly conditions: foggy
Itâs another fifty years or so before you can catch a break long enough to get back down to Earth. The shack has improved drastically - quite the pleasant looking home in fact. Thereâs flower boxes on the windowsills that are covered in a light morning dew, but the plants seem hardy. Purples and yellows. Dainty looking little things. You wonder what they might be.Â
The door opens as you bend to smell them, and you look up to find the angel wrapped up in the largest item of clothing youâve ever seen for something that just seems to be used for a neck. Itâs ever so bright. Mismatched colours and patterns that donât seem to line up. One end of it drags along the floor. Seokjin doesnât appear too pleased to see you.Â
âWhat are you wearing?â you ask, amused.
âTaehyung made me a scarf.â
âItâs very big.â
Seokjin glares.
âDid you really come to ruin my life so early in the morning?â
You roll your eyes. âYouâre immortal. I hardly doubt this little blip will destroy you. More like God would if you donât pull it together.â
âI could say the same about you.â
Heâs got you there. But as you hold his gaze something in the air shifts, and he reluctantly lets you in. This time you take his offer of a cup of tea. You take a tentative sip, and it warms your belly in such an unexpected way. The weight of the cup is heavy in your hand, and the warmth of it seeps into your palm. Itâs rather nice.Â
You sit at the same table he had fifty-something years ago. Thereâs a few more marks in the woodwork by now.Â
âShall we get it over with then?â he says. âWhere do I need to sign?â
You stop his hastiness with a gentle touch to his arm. He stares at your hand.
 âDid you get everything in order first?â you ask.
Seokjin coughs. âYes, of course.âÂ
His ears are strawberry red again. The colour really is pretty, youâre glad you chose it. Youâre glad you see it in other things, even if they are the tips of this angelâs ears.Â
âTheyâre dead?â
âNot yet,â he says, lips twisting bitterly around the words. âTheyâre living out the rest of their lives. You might get a chance to see them, if you stay awhile. They said theyâd be popping by later.â
âOh,â you say, surprised. âWell, I suppose thatâs something. You know, I am really sorry about that. I thought about it after my last visit, and I think I understand now why youâd want to keep your friends around for longer.âÂ
âFeeling lonely up there?â he asks, voice gentler than usual.
âNo!â You snort with (only slightly put on) derision. âOf course not. Too busy for such a thing as loneliness.â
He chuckles. âMaybe I wasnât busy enough then.â
You ignore what feels like a thimbleful of sadness dropping into your stomach.
Seokjin does most of the talking while you drink your tea. He talks about what he does down here - cooking mostly, but also a little pottery. Heâs been training under a man called Yoongi. Says he made the cups youâre holding, and you inspect them. Theyâre quite ugly, thick and uneven- and youâre about to say as such, but Seokjin looks proud, so you smile and tell him he did very well, and that you like the colour of the clay. You wish you could bottle the way he beams.
All too soon the tea is finished, and Seokjin signs the document. Itâs done. His eyes still shine, if a little less bright now.Â
âWhat now?â he asks.
You suck in a breath. âYour miracles are in trust until your return to Heaven. Until then you can live as a human. More or less.â
His eyes snap up. âIâm still immortal, right?â
âOh of course,â you say with a laugh. âYou think theyâd go through all this trouble just to risk you being eaten by a giraffe?â
âDo you know anything about Earth?â Seokjin says it like youâre an idiot. âAt all?â
Youâre tempted to roll your eyes. âI know plenty-â
âName one thing,â he interrupts, crossing his arms and looking at you with an almost amused expression.Â
You draw your shoulders back. Youâll give him three. âIt weighs five point nine-seven septillion kilograms.â
Seokjin blinks three times fast. You mustâve caught him off guard with your knowledge. Good.
âItâs made up of thirty-two point one percent iron, fifteen point one percent silic-â
âAlright,â Seokjin says, lips twisting into a small smile. âI get it. You donât need to prove yourself.â
You grin, ever so pleased with yourself, and Seokjin laughs.
âYouâre cute.â
âWhat?â
âCute,â he repeats. âItâs a compliment.â
âOh,â you say, wondering why reciting facts from the Earthâs handbook would warrant a compliment on your character. âOkayâŠâ You look down at your mug and see itâs empty and youâre struck with a surprising pang of disappointment. The tea was really rather good, itâs something of a pity as you realise you wonât be able to make it the same back in Heaven.
âWell, Iâd better get going. Paperwork to do. Miracles to take.â
âOf course,â says Seokjin, and stands to see you off. âIf you visit again will you let me know in advance?â
âWhy?â
âIâll make dinner.â
You smile without thinking. âI donât eat, Seokjin.â
âYou know,â he says, in a very matter of fact tone. âDespite the fact that every time we meet youâre taking away something of mine, Iâm growing quite fond of our meetings.â
You blink.Â
His eyes are so big and gentle and- âLet me know- okay?â he says with earnest.
âOkay,â you promise, already wondering when you could possibly get away long enough to watch Seokjin eat dinner.
âWould you like to take some flowers with you?â he asks suddenly. âI saw you smelling them.â
âOh! Ye-â you start, and then you think better of it. So you plaster on a smile and say âNo, thatâs quite alright, I can whip some of my own up in no time at all.â
Seokjin nods. He looks like heâs going to say something else, but time is getting on and youâre not used to these odd goodbye rituals the humans (and this angel in particular) seem so fond of, so with a flash of a smile youâre back in Heaven. Seokjin and his lovely brown eyes remain on Earth.Â
Your office looks so bland in comparison to Seokjin's home.
It takes a second to notice that the cup he gave you is still in your hand, remnants of the sweet tea drying on the bottom. You briefly consider going back down, just to hand it over and say goodbye properly, but in walks Turiel to squash any ideas you have about leaving your post again.
âGreat, youâre finally back,â he says, dumping a stack of files on your desk. âWeâre swamped.â
âWhat happened?â you exclaim. Youâre barely able to see him over the pile.Â
âSome bright spark in Organisms made a new virus. Let it loose in Greece without proper authorisation, killed half of them,â he says with a frustrated sigh. âThe higher ups are fretting because one of the dead ones was supposed to be a prophet.â
Oh dear.
Turiel leaves without display. No time for pleasantries like offerings of tea and flowers up here. You sigh, dejected.Â
Being around Seokjin makes you wistful for things you didnât know you wanted. You set the mug on your desk, turning it to and fro so you get a view of the prettier side- and with the smallest of miracles, there grows delicate flowers, in purple and yellow.

My name is ebony dark'ness lucifer raven way. Like gerard way, but we're not related or anything. Im glad we aren't, because he's sooo hot. I have long ebony black hair, like my name, with red streaks and I'm wearing knee high boots with a black mini skirt and sexy fishnet tights with a cut black top with cut off sleeves and my hair is in my eyes because im emo. That prep chuck or whatevr is staring at me. I put my middle finger up at him.
Im walking through a random foggy street somewhere in the midwest. There r murders here and its sooo Gothic, im a vampire but my teeth ate straight and white and nobody would ever know but ima actually a good vampire because the ones who suck SUCK. Its like if edward cullen didn't suck. Anyway i look over at the gotjic murders sadly and watch as the the sexy fbi agents ask the mother of the murder about... Vampires. When they turn around, they look at me and oh my god that's not an fib agent its DEAN WINCHESTER?
Dean walks over sadly and introduces himself as bill ward with his partner, geezer butler. I laugh sadly and tell him "too bad i know who you really are... Dean and Sam winchester" they look at me.in shock. "Im a friend of the sexy bobby singer too i know you" they both gasp mournfully. "Well if you know Bobby why don't we.meet up later and uh go out later." I smile and accept. Omg im going out with dean winchester!!ÂĄ!
Gothically time skips
When i go to my gothically shutty hotel i call bonby "oh my god dean is taking me out later" and bonby replied "i cant believe you didn't tell me you liked him earlier" "i didn't want to tell yoi bwcause you wouldnt believe me" bonby hung up the phone bc he had ither things to do.
Getting dressed i put on thigh high platform boots, a short black jean skirt, and a hoodie crop top with zipper in the middle and skull.hands on the front and the sleeves ripped down to my hands. I put on a chocker and black cross star earrings (a.n. if u dont know what.that is too bad, leave my story alone prepz xoxo) i put on black lipstick and black.eyeliner and pulled my bangs down to my eyes and shown the red streaks in my long raven hair.
Dean drives up in his shiny black 67 impala and when i get in i am happily shocked. Instead of the normal interior, he had painted the my chemical romance black parade album cover on the dash!! Maybe he is gothic after all, because when inlooked over to him he was wearing ripoed jeans, black nail polish, a chain necklace with black eyeliner on his green eyes and black boots. "Im surprised there is no Sam" i say gothicaly happy for it to be just him. He said and gloomily replied "Sam is busy being a nerd preo" i look at him confused. "Wym he is a nerd prep?? That's nor sam that's his weird gothelganger (a.n. get it?? Like doppelganger but goth?) Jared padeleski" "oh yeah, Sam is reading about werewolves and demons i forgot" i look concerned. "How could u forger about ur own brother??" He gothically says "i did a lot of cool weed before i picked you up, i brought some for you too" he stops and looks shyly under his combed forward banhs "if you would take some from me" i nod happily and.off we go.
"I hope you like good charlotte because that's.who we are seeing" i am so.happy, dean truly is emo now.
At the.concert we dance and laugh and make fun of that evil prep Hillary fucking duff. On our way back.he makes a stop ourside of the woods. "What r you doing???" I asked confused. He sighs and says "enoby, ibe known who you are for a while. Bobby told me all about you. I've lobed you for a while" i gasp "really!!!" "Really" he says gothifically. We get out and wander into the forest. He pins me against the wall. "Omg are we gonna do a sex" he laughs and smiles bwfore putting his thing in my thing and-
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!"
We stop and look up. It was.... Chuck? The weird guy? "Ur not supposed to be doing this dean! I have a headache" i look at him sadly, poor weird guy. Dean stops and says "chuck i know you wamt me but my heart belongs to enoby" chuck looks angry "no not you dean, her" i gasp. Dean looks angry "all this time i could have been with cas?" Chuck looks sad. "No the cw was too homophobic, you cant be balls deep in your angel. Not right now. You cant be balls deep in her either, she's mine" i stop. "Who even r u" i ask "i am god" i laugh at him. Dean looks at me and confirms. "Oh my god" i say deprezzedly. "No its chuck" says dean.
Suddenly Sam runs through the trees being chased by his gothelganger jared padaleski. Chuck gets angry and shoots the annoying guy. "Thank you" says same before he stops and says "chuck? stop trying to fucj my brother. When his gay love for cas reached through the veil of death and saved the day even though cas actually stayed dead.into superhell because of the evil cw it turned him gothic he's too goffic for you" chuck sighed and said "i know its not.him i want."
I stop and realize.that dean winchester and god are fighting over me. Same looks and says "wait, i hear someone else in the trees." As we all looked and waited and staired in comes... Bonby and.. Cas? But i thought cas was dead? Bonby speaks "here is the man who killed the cw sniper.. He has something to say" i look at him gothically "i am not your "cas" i am his gothelganger misha collins" i gasp. He says something about killing god and makes some metaphor about how he killed the cw sniper cw is god wharever i don't care but then.... Misha collins gave me a gun!! I wasn't.really listening to him, i was too busy thinking depressing thoughts and.i yell "im not killing dean u weirdo i lobe him!!!" Bonby looks at me and starts "you idjit" but then stops as one more person comes through the trees. It was jensen ankles!! "Jensen ankles??" Dean says "i don't want a gothelganger that.isn't goffic" Jensen replies "i will be soon, i need to reach through the veil of death for my own gay love" and he ... Shoots god??? "That's what i wanted you to do" mischa says before kissing jensen gothically depressedly i look and see dean looking jealous so i go and kiss him "im better than your gay angel anyway" and he agrees and then same and bonby are looking at each other depressedly and start clapping.
Prepz don't hate.on mah story okay??

i don't think adam was meant to free roam the bathroom bc amanda wasn't supposed to give him the key. john didn't do anything about him having the key because he is fascinated by the human condition and is willing to roll with changes because it's interesting to him to see how the game plays out. once something is in motion, he doesn't hit pause. he rolls w the punches. the game is unfair to adam on purpose because it's...kind of the point? the bathroom trap sets the stage for later films and does a lot of buildup of john's philosophy and character. the point is that no matter how much he insists he plays fairly or "doesn't murder people", at the end of it, jigsaw is just another maniac on a power trip and has biases.
adam's tape lacks clear direction while lawrence's is very straightforward. lawrence has an advantage over adam because the movie is about classism. john finds adam pathetic and seems to, overall, believe less in adam changing due to his own distaste for him. tbh it's similar to the shotgun chair, because the purpose, really, is Not to induce change, but to psychologically break the person. the shotgun chair didn't fix hoffman, just like how the bathroom wouldn't have fixed adam.
lawrence is more susceptible to change bc he can't stand having Visible imperfections. his image is incredibly important to him. he's willing to think it's changed him because he is desperate to find any grasp of normalcy despite the erosion of his entire self. john thinks lawrence can be fixed if only so he can make use of him. i really don't think it's possible for john to see how detached and clinical lawrence is and not be incredibly intrigued by it. he could absolutely benefit off of lawrence's survival, and that's the point. he needs someone who can do surgeries for him so his work can continue and expand.
lawrence displays his will to live by cutting his foot off, and adam displays his will to live not only by surviving but also by claiming the life of the man he thinks is responsible for his suffering in this bathroom. it's not for lawrence. it's for both of them, because they were both brought here and they were both put through the same hell. the trap bonded them in a unique way in that they don't really Like each other as people, but they care for one another. and i think that by murdering zep and saving both of their lives, adam impresses john bc there's no way john could have expected that that's how shit would go. i firmly believe the bathroom trap went differently than john initially anticipated, and i think this is one of few exceptions to "nothing being left to chance" irt the conversation he and hoffman have while setting up the nerve gas house.
after lawrence leaves and john gets up, he seems happy to tell adam how to get out, and i think he would have allowed him to (if the key hadn't gone down the drain, but john doesn't know that). lawrence made it out despite breaking the rules, and really, adam did what he was supposed to do. he survived! the problem, and the reason i think john does leave adam behind, is bc he immediately picks up the gun and points it at him. what more Clearly signals that ur ungrateful and havent learned anything? john doesn't Allow you to bite the hand that feeds. you get punished for it (happens to both amanda and hoffman). and adam might have shown he wanted to live, and he might have played by the rules, but john doesn't play fair and never has (see: amanda being put into games 4 separate fucking times).
this is just my own interpretation of things and this is how ive always read it. at the end of the day the key was an entire ass plot hole and i can respect all of us trying to bandaid that over. lol
#sorry if this is a mess i woke up at 5:30 this morning and im so tired#jonah.txt#i guess ill tag. whatever#saw#sawposting

Vere cosplay description/tutorial continued part two (belt edition).
If you made it this far, GREAT!!! You're doing fantastic.
My interpretation of his waist/below
I chose to make the belt into a skirt, rather than the whole thing as a dress. This seemed a lot easier to me than trying to combine things further, and honestly I'd definitely recommend this. I made the belt pattern by covering my torso in Saran wrap, tape (masking or duct tape) drawing the belt shape on my torso, and then cutting it out. Note that your front and back of your torso may differ in shape, so I'd reccomend drawing where your belly button is.
I then cleaned up the lines and made it into a pattern piece. Make sure it's symmetrical.. and ADD SEAM ALLOWANCE! If you're not impatient AF then I'd reccomend tracing your tape pattern onto paper so it's actually flat.
It's important for this belt to be SO STRONG because it's going to be under a LOT of strain during the day due to how it's tight and where it is on the body. Maybe it's overkill but I cut out a front and back piece(so my pattern x2), interlining, and added cotton underlining for strength to both the front and the back pieces.
Steps
1. make ur pattern with Saran wrap and tape
2. Clean up your pattern
3. Iron all your fabric and cut out your pattern (2 x of pattern, 2x of underlining cotton, 1x of interlining)
4. Staystitch and zigag fabric (except not the pleather bc we don't care Abt it as it doesn't fray)
5. Attach your interfacing to the cotton (front side cotton) and then baste the cotton to the pleather (front and back). So now you have 2 pieces of the belt, inside and outside piece.
6. Make the pattern for the strips of leather on the front. You should trace your belt pattern and then draw on the strips onto this tracing. They can't be straight lines bc this belt is a C shape tbh, and so they are almost like mini belt patterns. Don't forget seam allowance for their hems!
7. Sew these straps to the outside piece. If you have an idea for the metalic front belt details it would be great to attach them here in this step but I didn't bc I didn't have a good idea (might get them 3d printed though).
8. Freestyle some pockets bc ur gonna rly want some on the inside. I made one the size of my phone as well as credit cards.
9. Sew the pockets to the inside of the belt piece.
10. Put right sides together and sew the top seam of the belt together (seam by your belly button). Belt is like )( now. clip this inner seam.
11. One option you have is to now hem the bottom of the outside and the inside. In this case, you would put the pleated hanging fabric between these two layers and then topstitch it down. This isn't what I did but it'd look better imo than having it hand stitched to the inside. If you don't want to finish it this way, keep the right sides facing each other , sew the bottom hem, and then turn inside out. This will not be possible if you've added stiff belt details btw.
12. Figure out your pleating. I did this by pinning my fabric to my waist while was wearing shorts and seeing what density of pleats looked like and how it compared to what I wanted. It'll depend on how translucent your mesh/tulle is. You can do a small section, and then extrapolate. For me, I did a test of 17.5 cm of freehand pleating which I discovered was 98 cm of fabric (unpleated). As I needed the top pleated edge to be 44.5 cm long, that was-250 cm of fabric for EACH SIDE. These side skirt things are REALLY awkward bc you need all this pleating at the top to get the look but at the bottom, it's supposed to be little wider than a foot or so. Below I demonstrated my end shape with paper. You start with the wide top for the pleating, and the bottom the ending width you want it to be. Then, place weights at the corners and bring up the edges. Cut off the excess. Pleat the top edge as you would normally ignoring the odd shape and it should work out. The proportions in the bottom image is NOT ACCURATE Bc the top edge should be 250 cm and the bottom edge like.. 40 cm.
13. personally I just sewed the pleats to some small strips to keep everything together and then handsewed them to the inside of the belt (with my arm insidethe belt, like a pillowcase). But like I said, you could easily add them into the seam of the belt for a neater look.
14. Add your black gauze in here. Tbh it doesn't need a weird shape it can just be a rectangle that you pleat
15. I placed an unpleated mesh pannel behind the pleating and sewed small tacks throughout so the fabric stayed pulled back to the side. It felt too skirt like (?) Without this and more puffy, too. You don't have to do this but it was my solution and was pretty unobtrusive.
16. Hand fix your chains in. The cotton is also important for supporting these bc they're heavy af. I used chandelier chains, and I'd reccomend getting some where the links are NOT welded shut or it will be difficult to adjust the length of the chains without heavier duty metal working equipment.
17. Add in some structure! If the belt is an open pillowcase, this goes where the pillow would. I used a stiff plastic folders (below) cut into shape (smaller than the pattern by a bit so it doesn't mess with seam allowances). This gives your belt SO MUCH HEFT and is great!! You could also use foam too! Highly reccomend!
18. Add a closure. Personally I used a zipper, but a corset back would work great too especially if you fluctuate size. We don't see his back yet so you can do what you want lol.
19. Personally I added some wire to the bottom hem of the tulle to help it be straight and hang better with the weight but I didn't really like how this turned out.
Just for posterity, here's the pattern I made for the legbands. They're prettttty close but not SUPER close. I'd recommend covering your leg in ductape and having yourself or someone else try to draw the shapes in a mirror. It's wack AF though so I thought seeing what mine looks like laid flat might help you.

Do you think ur going to do a review or analysis of the live action? Because even tho i kinda liked it i think i have the same problem that you have with the characters, like zoro. It's weird bc i think that the characterization of the characters is kinda good, but also there's something laking, i think it's the removal of some core senes but honestly idk fully if it's that or something else. I know they had short time to adapt like 90 chapters, but i think the time they had would be better used if they didn't had the b plot be abt garp. Tho that's also not right, bc i think some of the scenes with the marines were fun? But in this case i think garp characterization is just not that great.
Idk its super weird bc i feel the world is really one piece and it was fun to watch but there's some things that are kinda :/
Okay uh, let me preface this by saying part of my degree had to do with adaptation - in terms of what it is and how it's really god damn hard. So this live action intrigues me not just as a one piece fan, but in terms of my studies, and I have no doubt my favourite teacher is getting a kick out of this as we speak lol.
If you don't want spoilers for ep 1, don't read under the cut. If you don't want to feel bummed out cause you super enjoyed the show, also don't read. I am analysing this in a very critical way because I was dead interested in how this was handled.
I have only watched one episode, I can only judge so far at the moment, so feel free to take this all with a grain of salt. There is indeed charm in this series! The only thing is, there's charm when it's trying to be itself exclusively, and it falls really flat when trying to replicate One Piece because...I didn't feel One Piece from this in any sense. Any 'faithful' shots I received felt like a cheap replica attempting to force some nostalgic emotion out of me with nothing earned.
And, from what I can see, that's the problem here. This series isn't sure how loyal it should really be, nor is it sure how much fidelity it should keep - but it's trying to remind me at every damn second "This IS One Piece, do you SEE One Piece?" And it's not just me saying this, the producers themselves admitted that they were TRYING to be loyal. A quote from them is;
âWhat we learned is the fans are expecting you to be true to the source material,â says executive producer Marty Adelstein, whose Tomorrow Studios produced âCowboy Bebopâ for Netflix before embarking on âOne Piece....As we read the comments, it was always, âWell, they didnât do this character the same as this and that.â ⊠It really taught us a lot of what we needed to do with this one.â âIt became everyoneâs goal to make sure that when you looked at the show, you thought this was a live-action version of the manga that just felt like another feather in the legacy of Oda,â (source)
So here's my question here, to myself and One Piece fans - did you FEEL like you were watching a 1:1 version of these characters? Did these characters FEEL like themselves instead of being TOLD they're apparently themselves?
Of course, it's an adaptation! It's supposed to be different! But this statement directly contradicts that, and so does everything else. After all they apparently hired Oda to 'check off' on it, they used the Japanese VAs for the Japanese audio version of it, they even have the manga/anime version of Luffy sitting there in the One Piece logo - constantly reminding me OF the original no matter what I do.
So with all these comments, and with all these decisions, what else to expect but "Oh, so they're planning to stay loyal and not deviate from the original? This is clearly their goal."
And that's where the problem ensues for me, because they try DESPERATELY to ham fist in original source material, they really want me to point at the screen and go "JUST LIKE THE MANGA!", but they're not going all in on it and, as such, the changes become increasingly obvious that this ISN'T the same. Because, if you only have a BIT of Zoro's character implemented from the original, but not ALL of it, what else am I to see but a bastardised version of the original here?
This script does this thing where it's giving me beats of Zoro, but not all of Zoro, and suddenly I'm left with a guy who's a weird, bizarro version of Zoro. He's not quite original enough to feel like his own being, and he's not quite loyal enough to feel like the original. And of course, it's not just Zoro, but it's this way for the other characters too.
The 'loyalty' the producers are talking about, and the lesson they've seem to have learnt here is; "We need to unnaturally shove in as much fidelity as we can in an exposition-dump, so we can get it out of the way, make everyone feel like we're respecting the source, and get on to the original scenes that add nothing but a laugh."
And...it's a shame! It's weird to say this series would, so far, be better if they weren't TRYING to replicate One Piece's energy, but from everything I am seeing, it's clearly what they are trying to do. This show has charm when it has its OWN charm, but cutting from a fun little original scene to an exposition dump of lore is so incredibly jarring I don't even really know what to make of it.
For example, we were shown Zoro being tied up to a pole. We are going to point at it and go "I remember that!" but then...the whole reasoning is different, the motives are different, and...the time is all different? In all respect, this series is doing what Disney live actions are doing, where they are giving me MORE scenes with LESS information - and due to seemingly TRYING to be loyal, it feels like the original scenes are fun, but a waste of time due to the exposition dumps being incredibly rushed and lacklustre.
In a complete ironic twist, their desperation to be loyal has them falling flat, so instead I'm seeing a hollow replica of what One Piece is - when it could've been an original live action that's trying to work on its strengths of BEING its own live action.
All in all, the first ep would've been fine if I turned my brain off, but I don't...watch One Piece to do that. I don't ever feel numbed by One Piece, and by all means I was given the expectation that this WOULD be the story RETOLD but with BIGGER action and LARGER characters because they just LOVE Oda and respect him SO MUCH!
But at the end of the day, for a first impression, I got another Netflix live action that COULD work on itself, but ultimately is making me appreciate the original a lot more. It's making me appreciate Oda's writing more, the Strawhat's original characters more, and the world more. It seems great as a digestible family show, which I'm sure is what Netflix wanted, but it's already got me feeling uneasy.
Of course, this could very well change the more I get through, and I'm very open to it, but the first episode in itself makes for a fascinating case study on the fidelity of anime live action adaptations.
And just in case anyone gets up in arms because there seems to be a weird forced positivity crusade on this series right now, Oda himself has said he intends to happily take criticism, because he knows it'll come from a place of love. This by no means is a disrespect to Oda, and is more a look in on how Netflix operates.
#ask#long post#i will tag this under#melon speaks#this is a brutally honest review of what the first ep alone has given me so like#if you don't WANT to see criticism of the series just don't read this please lmao#opla spoilers

Some drabble ideas cause why not :
- His s/o buying super expensive stuff for Satoru
- Imagine how he would react the first time you call him by pet name (or surname like 'Toru or 'Ruđ„°đ„ș)
- Taking a nape w him
- How he would react the first time he sees u on ur periods, and how he'll treats you
- Where he likes to being kissed/touched
All these for Gojo cause we'll never have enough of him (and I love the way you write him<3)
anon u are an absolute genius âđŒâđŒâđŒ also Iâm in tears bc of ur compliment i am gonna print this and hang it on a wall <3 also got a bit carried away w some of these đ€
okay but 1) he would definitely love whatever u get him but scold you because he wants you to save ur money and spend it on urself but on the inside he is cheering and giddy because omg did you save up for a gift just for him :â ))
rest are under the cut <3
2) i think heâd freeze a bit when you first call him toru and just drop everything and look u in the eye and make you say it again because his heart just burst and the only way heâd continue to live is hearing u say that again, after that he doesnât respond to gojo coming from you anymore sometimes heâll even ignore you calling him satoru because he wants you to call him âtoru or the pet names you call him like angel, honey or sweetheart (which started because you said he eats so much sweets his heart might as well be a conversation heart)
3) i headcanon that satoru is the worst to nap with and i will die on that hill,, he will spend the entire time youâre supposed to be napping giggling and being overly affectionate, then when you say you have to go do whatever it is you gotta do he pulls you down and says âreally this timeâ so u set a timer and then when the timer goes off he just shuts it off and coaxes u back to sleep until you wake up naturally two or three hours later and his excuse is âhow am i supposed to live myself knowing my lover is tired? you need rest Iâm doing you a favor <;3â
4) not the best when he first finds out ngl đ i feel like heâd be weary around you at first because doesnât wanna put you in a bad mood but then you cry because you think hated you and then as time goes on he figures out when to be clingy and when to give you space ,,, will buy you those plushies that you can heat up from cramps and lots and lots of pain killers ,, will make you tea to help with cramps âi saw a video saying this tea with honey is really good for cramps so i made you some :3â ,, definitely indulges allllllll of your cravings especially those that also satiate his sweet tooth ,, overall very caring and i will def make a headcanon abt this on its own đđ
5) i am a firm believer that gojo loves, adores even, nose kisses !!!! a small smile on his face and he has to stop himself from practically squealing when you lean over and press a soft kiss to the tip of his nose <333 >.< loves when you kiss his forehead too or his knuckles when theyâre a little red or bruised after a bad fight, specially after youâve just finished wiping the blood away and wrapping them :((( ,,, he loves when you touch / play with the hair at the nape of his neck, he just feels so close to you and so relaxed and god he never wants to leave your arms </3 also loves when you scratch his back before going to sleep or when you squeeze his thigh when heâs sitting next to you also secretly loves when u smack his butt when heâs bent over doing or getting something but he will never tell u that ,, loves loves loves !!! when you touch his abs or chest,, his confidence will just shoot through the roof when your hands begin wandering down his abdomen during a make out or cuddle session, never failing to smirk and say âlike what you feelâ to which youâd either indulge him or scoff and roll your eyes, pulling your hand away only for him to whine and put your hand back saying âokay okay Iâm sorry please donât stopâ ,,,, lord have mercy

whatâs ur favorite scenario to dream about with mtsk and death (kou dying, specifically)
YOU. YOU GET ME.
iâm gonna start this off with saying that kou minamoto is literally my favorite character ever so donât think iâm doing this because i hate him i just think about him way too much and this is where i end up after thinking for too long
i have SO MUCH to say about this but iâm gonna throw it under the cut bc i donât wanna catch ppl off guard with my insane bullshit
if ur reading this and u get upset itâs ur own fault /hj
alright SO
first off kou definitely shouldâve died during the pp arc just for shits and giggles. it wouldâve been like a âwhat the fuck just happenedâ for every character and the whole fandom and the chaos that wouldâve ensued from the death of a major character wouldâve been absolutely WILD- like bitch just killed himself. he straight up committed suicide. thereâs no way of rephrasing that bc thatâs what he did. it wouldâve been a plot-shattering moment and really just heartbreaking and awful and aidairo couldâve done so much with it.
for one, mitsuba wouldâve been very Not Ok because he wouldâve blamed himself for kou dying and heâd definitely try to gaslight himself into believing kou was still alive- that would not work btw heâd just be in insane denial
anyway imma move on from that arc even though i could go into it so much deeper and focus on things that i could see happening just to make the story hella interesting (iâve been very tempted to write a fic about this so beware)
i think the most likely ways kou would die would either be suicide or being killed by tsukasa. weâve already seen him attempt to kill himself, thwarted by mitsuba then brushed aside for some reason, and iâm about to do a full ass analysis on why tsukasa should murder our boy :3
reiterating that I LOVE KOU MINAMOTO WITH MY WHOLE HEART HES PERFECT
okay so tsukasa. hes a silly guy. one of his main traits is he loves to fuck with people, right? right yeah whatever get to the point IM WORKING ON IT ok sorry anyway heâs silly right. he thrives off fucking people up as much as possible. since he knows fucking everything iâm gonna assume he knows how important kou is to mitsuba and, given the fact that itâs so easy to fuck with mitsuba, heâd know that messing with kou in some way would make the biggest impact. every way he messes up mitsubaâs (after)life doesnât emotionally impact him for too long, given the fact that he and kou with it out every time. but what happens when we take out the support system? thatâs what we wanna know.
so ofc tsukasa feels all silly goofy and takes out kou just for funzies. mitsuba is absolutely fucking destroyed in every way. he blames himself, duh. this splits off into 2 possible scenarios that iâve created lol.
possibility one: mitsuba stays in his boundary for god knows how long, refusing to talk to anyone. eventually he goes to shijima, begging for a replacement kou. even if hes fake, itâs better than nothing, right? shijima understood his grief, in a way. so, she gave in. boom. kou copy. the rest was none of her business.
kou copy only knows what shijima knows about him, so letâs go with everything up until the end of the picture perfect arc. he has no idea about anything after, including the aquarium date, the far shore incident, and the supernaturals being banished from the near shore in the first place, and itâs fine that way. âŠright? well, that means he also doesnât know that heâs supposed to be dead.
he keeps asking mitsuba when he can leave the boundary and go home, when he can go see senpai, when he can see his brother, and heâs very upset. mitsuba has no idea what to do. he was overjoyed to have his crush best friend back that he didnât even think of what would happen after⊠he couldnât let kou out of the boundary. that was out of the question. keeping kou here would make him miserable and make him hate mitsuba. so at this point theyâre stuck in a cycle of shouting matches of wether or not kou is allowed to leave, periods of silence, and occasional truces because they both need someone to keep them sane, and who else can do it but each other?
possibly 2: supernaturals are a thing in this world, so why canât kou be one too? even though tsukasa is the one who killed kou in the first place, mitsuba begs him to bring kou back, to make kou a supernatural just like mitsuba. mitsuba knows what being a supernatural feels like. he knows that just letting kou go would be so much better for the dumb blonde boy. he knows that kou deserves better than to be forced to live in a world that doesnât want him anymore. but mitsuba is selfish. so tsukasa makes kou into a supernatural. for funzies, you know? heâd never worked with a human corpse before, so why not try out making one into a supernatural?
the process of making a supernatural is⊠messy. mitsuba now knows this, as he couldnât look away from his boyfriend being made into one. it was horrific. iâm not gonna delve into it because i really donât wanna think about that iâm so sorry my poor baby
just like with mitsuba, tsukasa didnât have kouâs actual soul to work with, just supernatural parts and kouâs body. it was simply an animated puppet that looked like kou minamoto. âitâs fine,â mitsuba said, âitâs okay, heâs back, that what matters, right?â âitâll be fine, right minamoto?â and as he looks to kou for support, all he gets in response is a blank look. he realizes, after staring in horror at the jagged scar on kouâs neck, that his vocal chords are absolutely fucked up beyond repair. heâd never hear kouâs voice again.
thanks for reading and iâm so sorry <3

Denise PLEASE elaborate on trans will!!! I will protect you against the fools that donât get it with my own mortal body
first please allow me to assume my position which is cowering behind ur mortal body đ©· ahem!
"he's not like you. he's not like me. he's not like... most." aka... gay n trans will is #real
"it's just, she's so different from other people, and... when you're... when you're different, sometimes... you feel like a mistake." do i even need to explain. a mistake... because he can't be what everyone expects him to be? because none of what he is fits within what is acceptable for boys? perhaps bc what's inside doesn't "fit" with what's on the outside, at least not in the way that people say it should? hm.
if no trans when why always grouped with, paralleled to, assuming commonly female tropes, and taking the side of the ladies? why confused for his sister who also has a fucky gender? đ§ hm??
if no trans then why did he keep his long sleeves on in the desert even though he was miserable, aka perform the ancient ritual tht all trans kids do bc they'd rather suffer a heat stroke than take off tht mf jacket? what, didn't want to bc he would've felt uncomfortable with his chest so "exposed"?
he shoveled two grains of sand both bc he's a lazy gay and also bc i hear ur not supposed to do hard labor while wearing a binder. just the facts and the rest of the guys understood this.
will loves dragons. dragons come from eggs. will is also an egg (respectfully), has dragon imagery all around him, has dragons in his room, and draws them all the time. 1 + 1 = đ„ = trans.
people make fun of will's clothes. they're too tight. st literature states he gets hand-me-downs from both joyce and jonathan. his sister also borrows his clothes. depending on what your trans hc is, maybe he prefers his brother's clothes, maybe he prefers his mother and sister's. maybe he likes a baggier fit that hides his body, maybe he likes it when things are more form-fitting. what does he want to emphasize? what does he want to obscure? does he feel better in certain colorways, patterns, or cuts? is that part of what people make fun of? you could do a lot here and it works any which way.
trans will can be anything and anyone. genderqueer? sure. ftm? sure. nonbinary? sure. agender? genderfluid? demigender? whatever floats your boat. he's different, cannot help being different, and always has been. even amongst his fellow freaks, amongst his loved ones, he's still... different; a mistake. in ways they aren't and can't understand. and still, he perseveres. he holds onto his sense of self, clings to it like a lifeline, even when those closest to him try to tear him down. he isn't like anyone elseâhe's just will. đłïžââ§ïž
disclaimer: AHT !!!! AHT AHT AHT do NOT twist this into me erasing the importance of will being a gnc cis gay man in canon. this is not that. this is just me having a silly goofy time coming up with trans will headcanons and things one could use to "support" that and weave into tht hc if they so wanted, seeing as gender and sexuality can influence each other & will's gender is an important and inextricable part of his characterization. no harm or erasure is intended with these hcs so please put the cancel gun down!!!
