A/N: This chapter is not betaed at all…not even a little bit. I didn't want to keep you waiting…so, I hope you enjoy. Even though I'm sure it has stupid mistakes in it. Please forgive my dyslexic ass! The song, 'Brown Eyes' is a song that I wrote myself for my own children.

It’s late at night and everyone is asleep. Well, almost everyone. Imani is tucked away in her bed, a sunflower night light casting a warm and soft glow while she slumbers peacefully. Hoseok is curled into Namjoon’s side with his head buried in his chest. Taehyung is halfway on top of Jimin’s back, drool collecting between his shoulder’s blades. Seokjin is alone in his room, blackness surrounding him as he sleeps with his RJ sleeping mask.
Jungkook is in his bed, snoring softly and beside him, Yoongi sits upright, wide awake. The brightness on his phone has been turned down and the volume has been lowered as well. He is no longer in pain from his monthly pumping and Jungkook’s smokey firewood scent called to Yoongi’s tired bones.
Yoongi wanted the warmth that poured from Jungkook’s body and he easily found himself in bed  with the younger pack mate. Jungkook was more than pleased to have Yoongi sleep with him and with more than a few shared kisses, Jungkook fell asleep with Yoongi playing in his hair. Now, Yoongi scrolls through his phone, trying to find the song that Imani sang to him. The lyrics are simple enough but Yoongi still struggles to find the song that they belong to. He sighs and throws his head back. His skull hits the headboard and Jungkook cracks an eye open.
“Yoongi?” Jungkook yawns and Yoongi glances down at him with a small pout on his lips.
“Sorry, Kookie. Did I wake you?”
Jungkook shakes his head and rubs at his eyes as another yawn falls from his lips. He scoots closer to Yoongi and rests his head on the snake hybrid’s stomach as he peers up at the phone.
“What are you doing up? Don’t you have a meeting tomorrow?”
Yoongi sighs and nods his head, his eyes slipping closed as Jungkook starts to massage his left thigh mindlessly. It’s kitten-like in nature, a soft kneading motion that soothes Yoongi’s tired body.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Yoongi drops his head and stares down at Jungkook silently. His eyes are blinking slowly, each flutter of his lid coming slower and slower. Yoongi can feel his breath against his stomach, warm and gentle as it pushes against his t-shirt. Yoongi places a hand on Jungkook’s head and starts to sing the same song that Imani sang to him.
Hey brown eyes
Why you crying?
Hey brown eyes 
The moon is shining
Hey brown eyes 
Everything’s gonna be alright
He keeps his voice soft as it rumbles in his chest and vibrates against Jungkook’s cheek and temple. 
Hey brown eyes
Why you crying?
Hey brown eyes
I’m always gonna be here
Hey brown eyes
Everything’s gonna be alright
Yoongi and Jungkook yawn at the same time. He struggles to continue as his eyes start to feel heavy. Yoongi carefully sets his phone on the nightstand and shimmies down in the bed. Jungkook’s head is now resting on his chest, his ears tickling Yoongi’s chin.
Hey brown eyes
The moon is shining
Hey brown eyes
It’s time to say goodnight
Hey brown eyes
Hey brown eyes
Everything’s gonna be alright
Jungkook’s soft snores fill the air as silence covers the room. Yoongi’s eyes blink one more time before he gives into the weight of sleep. The lullaby echoes in his mind and soon he starts to snore as well.
Tumblr media
Jungkook sits with Imani at the kitchen counter with a bowl of egg fried rice. There are a few sides in front of them and Jungkook makes sure to help Imani if she cannot reach something. Jungkook smiles as Imani tells him all about the dream she had last night. Something about a duck princess and Bluey. It’s a lot to take in and honestly, Jungkook can only understand so much before he is lost. Imani finishes her story with a giggle and Jungkook’s nose scrunches as he laughs too.
“Sounds like you had one crazy dream, huh?” 
“Yesh! So, crawzy, Kookie!”
Jungkook can’t help but smile as the little girl shoves a spoon full of rice into her mouth. Her cheek bulges out and she mutters to herself as she struggles to grab a slice of beef with chopsticks. She did not want to use the child-friendly chopsticks today. There is a bright pink bonnet on her head and her ears poke out of the holes. It doesn’t match her blush colored pajamas that have sunny side up eggs all over the pants with one single egg on the top that says ‘I’m so eggshausted’ on the front in silly cursive. 
“Imani?” Jungkook calls her softly and she turns her wide eyes to him. “Can I ask you a question?”
“Yesh.”
Jungkook grins and scratches behind her left ear as he quickly takes a sip of his orange juice.
“Yoongi sang me a lullaby last night and I loved it. Do you know what it’s called?” Jungkook starts to sing the parts of the lullaby that Yoongi sang to him last night and sunflowers bloom in Jungkook’s mind. The scent is so potent that Jungkook is sure even Taehyung could smell it if he walked into the room right now.
“Brown eyes!” Imani grins as she sets her spoon down. “You-You-You wike it?” 
“Yes,” Jungkook giggles as Imani’s whole body seems to vibrate in her seat. It’s the first time he has heard her stutter from excitement. “Do you know it?”
“Mommy’s song!” Jungkook’s eyes widen at the sudden information and Imani jumps down from her seat. She tugs on Jungkook’s hand with a large smile on her face. “Come, Kookie!” 
Jungkook whines about leaving the food out, but how can he say no to Imani when she is looking at him with such large brown eyes? Pulling his hand free, he quickly cleans up before following Imani down the hall to her bedroom.
“Sit, pwease.” 
Imani pushes Jungkook over towards the corner of her room where all her stuffed animals are and Jungkook sits on the floor, crossing his legs. He tugs his grey oversized t-shirt out from under his tail and wiggles around as he fixes the waistband of his cream linen sleep pants. He watches as Imani goes into her closet and comes out with a Nike shoe box in her hands.
“What you got there?” Jungkook wonders as Imani sits down in his lap with the box resting on her legs.
“Mommy sleep for-forewer and I gots this,” Imani explains and Jungkook’s eyes widen for the second time that morning at Imani’s words. Sleep forever? So, Imani knows that her mother is dead or at least understands that she cannot see her anymore. Jungkook inhales through his nose silently and the scent of sunflowers is still strong.
Imani lifts the lid from the box and Jungkook peeks over her head. The box is filled with polaroids, little trinkets and what looks to be an old school walk-man. As Imani pulls the walk-man out the box, Jungkook sees a small stack of albums underneath and his curiosity is quipped. What will Imani share with him?
Imani unwraps the headphones and hands one of the ear buds to Jungkook. He happily takes the bud and places it in his ear, helping Imani do the same to herself with the other one. Imani snuggles into Jungkook’s lap, her tail wrapping around his wrist as she presses the teal blue play button. A saxophone plays followed by a piano and flute and then a drum comes in a little later.
Hey brown eyes
Why you crying?
Hey brown eyes 
The moon is shining
Hey brown eyes 
Everything’s gonna be alright
The smooth voice of a woman sings, her tone is a beautiful soprano that makes goosebumps appear on Jungkook’s arms. Imani’s ears flick around on her head as the woman sings and it dawns on Jungkook that he is listening to Imani’s mother. Tears well in his eyes and he wraps his arms carefully around Imani’s middle. The lullaby that Imani sang to Yoongi is the lullaby that her mother sang to her most likely every night.
Jungkook’s heart pounds strongly in his chest, the thick emotion starting to seep out of his skin and mangle with his scent. Imani’s nose twitches as firewood shifts to a damp forest fire and she cranes her head back to check on Jungkook. 
A single tear splashes on Imani’s forehead and she yelps in surprise. Her eyes squint at the sight of Jungkook crying and she pushes the shoebox in her lap onto the floor.
“What wrong, Kookie?” Imani spins around in his lap and grabs his face between her tiny hands. “No wike Mommy’s song?” Imani’s own eyes start to water and before Jungkook can correct her she starts to cry. 
Loud, heartbreaking sobs as she pushes away from Jungkook and rips the earbud from his ear. Clinging to the walk-man, Imani runs out of the room and Jungkook curses.
“Imani! Imani, wait!” Jungkook shouts after her as he scrambles to his feet and trips over one of the stuffed animals. 
Imani wails. Her cries echo through the air and catch Taehyung’s attention as he walks out of the bathroom from the floor below. His brows pull together and his heart pinches painfully in his chest as he thinks the worst.
“Imani?!” Taehyung calls her name and rushes to the steps, taking two at a time. Imani crashes into his legs just as he steps onto the floor and he drops to his knees. “Hey, hey. What’s wrong, my heart?” Taehyung hugs the little girl to his chest and rubs a hand up and down her back. Today it’s just himself and Jungkook at home. Hoseok is taking care of the salon and Seokjin is at the store while everyone else is at work.
Taehyung hears Jungkook’s loud stomps as he barrels into the main room. His eyes are pink, his nose is red and he looks guilty. Taehyung eyes the kangaroo hybrid and carefully lifts Imani off the ground, holding her tightly in his arms as she cries. 
“What happened, pup, huh? What did that mean Kangaroo do?” 
Jungkook’s jaw drops, “Hyung-”
Taehyung shoots him a look as Jungkook tries to speak. “I asked Imani, not you.”
Imani buries her face into the crook of Taehyung’s neck and presses her body closer into his chest, trying to crawl into his soul. Taehyung grunts at the feeling of something hard digging into his ribs and when he shifts to move Imani more to his left side, he sees a walk-man in her hands.
“What’s this, pup?” Taehyung carefully reaches out to touch the walk-man and Imani pulls it away, tucking it against her stomach. Taehyung frowns and glances at Jungkook, who’s bottom lip is trembling as he tries not to cry. “What’s going on?” Taehyung takes pity on his packmate and Jungkook wipes his face as he sniffles.
“Imani?” Jungkook calls softly and Imani ignores him. “Pup, it is a really pretty song. It made Kookie cry because it was so beautiful.” 
“No like Mommy’s song!” Imani cries and Jungkook shakes his head, falling to his knees. He crawls over to Taehyung and places a hand on Imani’s back.
“No, Imani, baby. Please listen to Kookie.” Jungkook begs and Taehyung rests a hand over top of Jungkook’s. “Your Mommy’s voice made Kookie cry. That’s all, pup. I promise, I really liked the song.”
Taehyung eyes the walk-man and kisses the top of Imani’s head before he slowly stands with Imani in his arms. 
“Imani, I think Kookie is telling the truth. He likes your Mommy’s song,” Taehyung explains softly as he pats Imani’s back to try and get her to forgive Jungkook.
“Weally?” Imani peaks over at Jungkook as he stands up and Jungkook quickly nods his head.
“Really, Imani. I loved it. Can Tae hear it too?” 
Imani’s eyes seem to brighten at the idea of sharing her Mommy’s song with someone else and she carefully holds one of the ear buds up for Taehyung to take. He takes the small bud and places it in his ear, his heart skipping a beat when he hears a woman’s voice singing. He closes his eyes and melts into the song. He is sure that it isn’t the song that Imani and Jungkook were listening to, but he likes it nonetheless.
“It’s beautiful, my heart. Thank you for sharing this with me.” Taehyung hugs Imani tighter and she nuzzles her nose into his throat, scenting him as she chirps happily. Taehyung looks over at Jungkook and bites back a smile.
“Pup, can Kookie listen again?” Taehyung whispers loudly and Imani glances over at Jungkook who stares at her with wide eyes.
Imani giggles as Jungkook claps his hands together and starts rubbing them, “Please, pup? Pretty, please?” 
Tumblr media
Namjoon sits in on a meeting with the HR manager and a handful of other members of the board. There is a big time client coming to the company next week and everyone is to be on their best behavior. As one of the top translators, Namjoon is expected to be present, participate and be one of the main faces. From what he understands, the client is from the United States and is a well known singer. As of right now, the client’s identity is unknown and will only be shared with Namjoon and four other translators. He will have a private meeting with his boss and the HR manager later on in the week.
As the meeting comes to a close, Namjoon bows and waits for the managers to leave before he gathers his notepad and stands from his seat. He needs to call Seokjin and Yoongi right away, to make sure that this upcoming week is free as well as figure out when they planned to share Imani’s adoption announcement with their families. Once he is back in his own office, Namjoon pulls his phone from his pocket and stands before the windows, looking out at the building below as he rings for Yoongi. The snake hybrid answers on the third ring and once Namjoon explains the situation, they pull Seokjin onto the call as a three way.
“If you’re taking the lead on this Joon-ah, there isn’t much we can do,” Seokjin sighs and Yoongi hums in agreement.
“You have been working your ass off and it looks like your time has come to show off a little bit,” Yoongi muses. “Don’t worry about us, okay? Taehyung told me that Seojoon sent over the photos this afternoon, so he and Jimin will work on the announcement cards.”
“The adoption certificate still hasn’t come in the mail,” Seokjin reminds his two mates. 
“We don’t need the certificate to tell everyone, Seokjin.” Namjoon rests an arm against the window in front of him and sighs. “I’m worried about Imani.”
“We have enough things with your scent on it, Namjoon. The pup will be fine-”
“Yoongi’s right, Joonie,” Seokjin cuts as he laughs softly. “Imani and you will still see each other before her bedtime. You always come home no later than eight.” 
“Are you sure it will be okay?” Namjoon chews at his lower lip and the two hybrids on the phone can hear the fear in his voice.
“How about we go out to dinner tonight?” Seokjin offers. “Take Imani out for a nice dessert afterwards, maybe go for a walk by the riverfront?”
“Why don’t you call and make a reservation, Namjoon? Somewhere you think Imani would like.” Yoongi gently orders and Namjoon hums in agreement.
“Yeah, okay…that would be nice.”
A knock comes from the other side of Namjoon’s office door and he sighs.
“I have to go. I’ll text the group chat with the information for tonight,” Namjoon quickly explains and he smiles to himself. “I love you.”
“Love you, too.” Seokjin echoes and Yoongi grunts, making Namjoon laugh before he hangs up.
Tumblr media
Jimin walks through the front door and easily shifts the sunglasses from his face to rest on top of his head. Four large shopping bags hang from his arms and he hums to himself as he removes his shoes quickly, before he struts over to the lift. He hits the small button to open the doors before he steps inside and presses the number three. The doors close and Jimin cannot ignore the butterflies in his stomach.
He really wishes he was a hybrid because he would love to know how Imani smells once he shares with her what’s in the bags. Namjoon texted the group chat and informed everyone that they were having a special family night; Jimin was excited. He pulled up his chat with Taehyung and the two of them plotted together…like always.
The sound of the lift moving catches Imani’s attention from her spot in the nest with Jungkook. She is coloring and listening to music that plays loudly from the sound system. Her ears twitch and she inhales deeply, her tail curling as she picks up the scent of cinnamon and coconut. Crawling to the edge of the nest, Imani catches Jungkook’s attention as he looks up from his own coloring book. He sees the way that Imani’s little body trembles with excitement and he smiles, endeared by how easy it is to read her body language. The doors to the lift open and Jimin steps out with the bags still hanging from his arms.
“You home!” Imani’s shouts as she scrambles out of the nest and Jimin has just enough time to drop the shopping bags before Imani catapults herself into his arms. Jimin catches her with a soft oof and wraps his arms tightly around her little body.
“Hello, babygirl! I missed you so much today!” Jimin sprinkles kisses all over Imani’s face making her giggle and shriek as she surrenders to the love attack. Imani’s tail wraps around one of Jimin’s wrists, beside his bracelet and Jimin grins as he slides Imani onto his hip. In his arms, Jimin takes in Imani’s outfit and smiles. She looks adorable in her pink two toned sweatsuit with a neon yellow tank top underneath.
Pink socks with white clouds covering her feet complete the outfit and Jimin nuzzles their noses together. Her hair is styled into six neatly parted squares with three hanging twists on either side of her head and two large puffs slightly off center in the back of her ears that sit on top of the head. 
“Did you have a good day with Kookie and TaeTae?”
Imani’s eyes sparkle as she starts to tell Jimin all about her day, her words never ending. Jungkook removes himself from the nest and grabs the bags from the floor, kissing Jimin’s cheek in greeting while Imani continues to talk. Jimin walks over to the kitchenette and sits on one of the barstools while Jungkook sets the bags down.
“Drink?” Jungkook whispers and Jimin nods his head with a thankful smile. Jungkook grabs a bottle of water from the fridge and opens it before he hands it to Jimin. “Imani?”
Imani looks over at Jungkook who is holding a juice box with a smile on his lips. Sunflowers, tall and strong, potent and fresh fill the air as Imani takes the juice box and starts to sip from it.
“Sounds like it was a very fun day,” Jimin chuckles as he takes a sip of his water. “I’m a little jealous.” 
“You haven’t even heard the best part,” Jungkook teases and Jimin raises an eyebrow. “We’ll share it once everyone comes home.”
“Keeping secrets, are we?” Jimin pouts and cuddles into Imani, rubbing his nose against her jaw. “I have something for you, pup.”
“Jimin!” Jungkook slaps his arm with a laugh and Jimin shoots him a playful glare. “No bribing the baby!”
“Who’s bribing a baby?” Taehyung comes from the hall pushing his hair out of his face. He spots Jimin and licks his lips as he stares at those strong thighs. 
Jimin’s face flushes under Taehyung’s heated stare and Jungkook’s nose crinkles as he laughs.
“Jimin wants to know the secret of the day and is trying to bribe Imani.”
“Now, now,” Taehyung takes easy steps towards the kitchenette and stands beside Jimin, placing a hand on the back of his neck. “Don’t spoil the surprise, Minie. Might have to spank you for being a bad boy.”
“Taehyung!” Jungkook and Jimin both scold him as they look down at Imani who is happily in her own little world, playing with the bracelet on Jimin’s wrist.
Taehyung chuckles deep and teasing as he gives Jimin’s neck a light squeeze before pecking his temple and scratching behind Imani’s ear with his free hand.
“I’ll remember this for later,” Taehyung warns as he leans against the island. “Now, let me see what you got.”
Jimin shifts Imani in his lap, allowing for Taehyung to pluck the little girl into his arms and hold her close. Imani lays her head on Taehyung’s shoulder and tucks her arms in between their bodies as she watches Jungkook push the bags closer to Jimin. Jimin grabs the bag that is for Imani and clears his throat. 
“Imani, this is for you. Tell me if you don’t like anything, okay?” Jimin smiles softly as her large brown eyes focus on the bag. Jimin reaches into the bag, pulling out a medium sized stuffed axolotl, a little over a foot long. It’s a soft pink with deeper pink ears and toe beans. Imani’s eyes widen and she chirps happily, her arms pulling away from Taehyung’s body and reaching for her new fluffy friend.
Jungkook’s nose twitches as fresh cut sunflowers flood his senses and he can’t fight the smile from stretching his lips.
“She’s extremely happy with your choice, Jimin.” Jungkook informs his lover and Jimin’s eyes crinkle at the news. 
“It mine? Weally?” Imani asks as she hugs the stuffy close to her, its pink form smashing against her and Taehyung’s chest.
“All yours baby,” Jimin assures and taps the bag. “That’s not all. I got you something else too!”
“More stuff?” 
At the sound of utter amazement in Imani’s voice, the three men feel their hearts melt and they fall even more in love with the little girl. Jimin nods his head and reaches back into the bag. This time he pulls out an outfit and Imani watches as Jimin holds out the pieces, one by one. A white ruffle blouse with large sunflowers on it is shown first. It has quarter length sleeves, and two straps that hold it from falling off Imani’s shoulders. A light wash denim skirt is next, it’s asymmetrical with subtle rips on the left hand side and frayed at the bottom. A thin brown belt with a little tiny four by four pouch is placed through the belt loops. 
“Pwetty!” 
Imani snuggles into her stuffy happily as Jimin shows off the new outfit that she will unknowingly wear tonight for their dinner. He reaches into the bag once more and pulls out cute brown leather sandals that match the belt along with a small black velvet box. Setting the shoes back in the bag, Jimin carefully opens the box and inside sits a tiny pearl bracelet with a single golden sunflower charm hanging from it.
“Oh!”
“Wow!”
Taehyung and Jungkook both stare at the bracelet in awe while Imani nearly vibrates out of Taehyung’s arms. Jimin is quick to catch her as she throws herself at him and he kisses the top of her head.
“Do you like it?” Jimin asks while laughing and Imani nods her head happily.
“Mommy is peawl!”
Jimin’s eyes grow twice their size hearing Imani openly talk about her mother and he chances a glance at Taehyung to see that his lover doesn’t look surprised, only proud. Jimin looks over at Jungkook and the kangaroo hybrid is smiling wide, showing off his bunny-like teeth.
“Your Mommy’s birthday is in June, huh?” Jungkook asks and Imani shrugs her shoulders.
“Do you know your birthday?” Taehyung changes the topic smoothly and Jimin releases a breath that he didn’t realize he was holding.
“No,” Imani answers as she touches the bracelet and Jimin chuckles.
“That’s okay, pup.”
Before anything more can be said, Imani climbs down from Jimin’s lap with her stuffy in her arms and waddles towards the nest. She crawls into it and places her new friend in the corner before she grabs her coloring book and sits beside the stuffy. Jimin opens his mouth to comment but the beat of the song playing makes him pause. It’s familiar and pulls at a memory in the back of his mind as a piano plays. A woman’s voice starts to sing and Jimin panics. He knows this song and it makes his heart start to beat rapidly in his chest. 
Peppery spice with a hint of spoiled milk creeps into Jungkook’s nose and he frowns. His eyes fall to Jimin and he steps around the island, standing on the other side of him. 
“Hey, it’s okay,” Jungkook whispers, knowing why Jimin’s mood suddenly shifted.
“W-We have to change the song,” Jimin tries to stand up but Taehyung and Jungkook hold him down. “S-She hasn’t heard it-”
“Jimin, relax!” Taehyung’s deep voice is firm and soothing while Jungkook’s large hands smooth up and down his back.
“Just watch,” Jungkook begs softly and Jimin’s eyes snap over to Imani in the nest. 
The little girl sings along to the song that is playing quietly, holding a crayon in her hand like it’s a mic. She holds the crayon up to the axolotl and lets the stuffy sing along with a smile on her lips and eyes shining brightly. Jimin's breath catches in his throat as he watches Imani and his eyes start to burn.
He vividly remembers the way Imani broke down in the car when she heard a song that her mother had sung playing on the radio. His heart doesn’t know if it wants to break or stop beating all together at this new side of Imani.
“Oh, baby. Don’t cry, Minie.” Taehyung wipes at Jimin’s fallen tears and Jungkook tightens his arms around Jimin’s waist. Jimin’s bottom lip trembles and he quickly bites it with a shake of his head.
“Not crying…shut up.” Jimin sniffles and pushes Jungkook away from him as he and Taehyung both laugh.
Laughter fills the air from down stairs and footsteps track up the steps. Hoseok and Seokjin both appear with smiles on their faces. Seokjin’s ears twitch on his head as he smells Jimin’s burnt and sour scent that is lingering. 
“What happened?” Seokjin prompts as he looks around. Imani is in the nest, babbling happily to Hoseok who has joined her. Taehyung, Jungkook and Jimin are sitting at the island and it’s only Jimin who has pink, teary eyes. Seokjin raises an eyebrow and Jimin shakes his head, offering Seokjin a small smile.
“I’m fine, hyung. Just happy, that’s all.”
“Jinnie!” Imani’s voice is sugar sweet as she chirps his name, her little arms held high in the air as she stands at the edge of the nest. Seokjin grins, his whole face lighting up as he goes over and scoops the little pup into his arms. “Missed you, Jinnie.” Imani smashes her face into his neck and scents him silently, her tail curling around his wrist. 
“My cria, I missed you too.” Seokjin pecks Imani’s temple and rocks her from side to side as he settles himself in the nest beside Hoseok. 
“What are we listening to? It’s really pretty,” Hoseok comments as he pokes at Imani’s side, making her giggle.
“It’s Mommy!” Imani beams and Hoseok’s smile falls while Seokjin chokes on air. Imani frowns as she starts to pat Seokjin’s chest and Hoseok chuckles.
“This is…” Seokjin looks to the trio by the island and back to Imani. “This is your Mommy singing?”
Jungkook takes pity on the guys and speaks up. “Yoongi had a song stuck in his head that Imani had shared with him. I asked her about it earlier today and she shared a secret with me.” Jungkook winks at Imani who grins, showing her little teeth. “Can I tell them our secret?” Jungkook asks and Imani nods her head, her little fingers playing with Seokjin’s curly hair.
“Imani was given some of her Mommy’s things and she keeps it all in a box. There are four albums along with a walk-man. We’ve spent most of the day listening to the songs.” Jungkook explains and Seokjin feels all the tension wash out of his body in a single breath. 
Imani is willingly sharing information about her mother and that takes some worry from Seokjin’s mind. He knows that his sweet pup still needs to see a professional to make sure there is no long term damage from her neglect but this is a natural start to her healing. Seokjin hugs Imani a little tighter and closes his eyes.
He takes in the melody and rich tone of Lisa Jackson, Imani’s biological mother. Silently, Seokjin mummers a prayer of thanks in his mind. He thanks Lisa for giving birth to Imani. He thanks her and promises that he will love and care for Imani in her place and always remind Imani how much Lisa loved her.
Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung all come into the nest and settle around Imani and Seokjin. They grab coloring books and Imani giggles as she wiggles out of Seokjin’s hold. Crawling over to her new stuffie, Imani flops down on her stomach and goes back to coloring with her family.
Tumblr media
Yoongi smooths a hand down the front of his navy and white pinstripe button up. He fixes the black belt around his waist, tugging the buckle until it is centered above his zipper. A knock at his bedroom door, echos in the room and Yoongi calls out for whoever to enter. The door opens and little feet slap against the hardwood.
“Yoonie!” 
Imani’s tiny body crashes into his lower legs and he smiles down at the little girl. Bending down, Yoongi picks her up into his arms, resting her against his right hip. Imani giggles as Yoongi nuzzles his nose into her cheek and they look into the mirror together. Imani grins, her teeth on full display while Yoongi shares that gummy smile. His eyes glow a faint yellow and Imani’s brown, reflect the brightness that she carries within.
“You weady?” Imani asks as she wraps her arms around Yoongi’s neck. Her cheek rests against his shoulder and Yoongi nods his head as the tip of her nose touches the collar of his shirt.
“What do you think? Do I look okay?” 
Imani stares into the mirror and reaches up to push a stray hair out of Yoongi’s eye. 
“Very nice!” Imani giggles and Yoongi can’t help the way his face heats up.
He kisses Imani’s cheek and hikes her higher up on his hip. “Come on, pup. Let’s go!”
Yoongi stops by his shoe rack and grabs a pair of black loafers before he leaves his room. Walking down the steps, Yoongi notices that everyone must already be waiting at the main door and he rolls his eyes. When there is food involved his pack exceeds any speed limits. Taking his time going down the rest of the steps, Yoongi hisses softly as Imani starts to fuss in his arms.
“Are you hungry?” 
Imani’s stomach rumbles and Yoongi chuckles, as he gives her a little squeeze.
“Okay, we’ll get food soon.”
Seokjin’s ears shift in the direction of the steps and his heart melts when he sees Imani in Yoongi’s arms. The brightness of Imani’s shirt against the navy of Yoongi’s shirt fits their personalities perfectly and Seokjin’s smiles softly.
“Come on, they are waiting on us.” 
Seokjin takes Imani from Yoongi’s arms and squats down to help her with her shoes. Imani pushes his hands away and sits on his knees, pulling one foot up at a time to fasten her sandals. Yoongi sets his own shoes down and shoves his feet into them before he offers his hand to Seokjin. Making sure Imani is ready, Seokjin takes Yoongi’s hand and stands to his full height. Yoongi’s thumb brushes over Seokjin’s knuckles and they share a smile while Imani hugs their legs.
“We go eat?” Imani chirps and Seokjin nods his head.
“Let’s go, pup.” 
The trio leave the house and Yoongi pulls the door shut behind them before he locks the door. He follows after Seokjin, who walks over to one of the cars and notices that Jimin is in the driver seat. Namjoon is in the back seat and Hoseok is in the other car with the younger mates. Yoongi takes the passenger seat next to Jimin and watches from the rearview mirror as Seokjin buckles Imani into her car seat.
“Be a good girl, okay? Jinnie is gonna be in the car behind you.” Seokjin presses a kiss to each of Imani’s cheeks and scratches behind her ear. Imani giggles and waves happily at Seokjin as he closes the door. Jimin starts the car and when Jungkook honks at him, he pulls off; leading the way to the restaurant that Namjoon picked. 
“Imani?” Jimin calls her name softly and glances in the mirror to see that he has her attention. “I have a surprise for you!” Taking one hand off the wheel, Jimin fiddles with the radio and soon a piano spills from the speakers.
Imani claps her hands and kicks her little feet as she whips her head to the side to stare at Namjoon with wide eyes.
“Mommy!”
Namjoon’s jaw clenches and his eyes widen in panic. Yoongi reaches out to turn the music off but Jimin slaps his hand away. 
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
A powerful voice, sweet, smooth and toe curling sings. The hair on Yoongi and Namjoon’s arms raise as they listen to Lisa Jackson, Imani’s mother, sing a cover of ‘Golden Slumbers’ by The Beatles. Yoongi was not expecting Lisa to be a soprano and if he listens hard enough he is sure that she is a mezzo-soprano.
Namjoon’s whole body relaxes in his seat as he lets Lisa’s voice wash over him in a soothing melody. He hears Imani as she sings along and he fists the fabric of his black dress pants. Her voice is so soft and light. A mummer really as Lisa’s voice fills the car. Namjoon feels a set of eyes and when he looks up, Yoongi is looking right at him.
When their eyes lock, Yoongi shifts his gaze to Imani and Namjoon smiles. He knows exactly how Yoongi is feeling. His own heart feels warm, warmer than it has ever felt and Namjoon knows for a fact that this is a moment he will cry about later in his room.
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake when you rise
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

(more) Lovestruck Stories on Mycast.io now!
Hello Lovestruckers, it seems I have not contributed much to the fandom in a while, but don’t worry, today I did something.
I have added 12 Lovestruck stories to Mycast.io + roles (I added all the MCs, LIs, and some side characters I thought were important enough such as Enzo and Zeke, if you think I missed someone I’m pretty sure other people can add roles) The ones I added are Havenfall, Gangsters, QoT, SWM, VN, Castaway, EAA, L&L, MSC, SE, WLL, and Starship
Speakeasy, Reigning Passions, and Astoria were already there so only a few stories are not there yet, but tbh I don’t feel like adding them.
If you have a Mycast account you are now free to begin casting your favorite series! (unless your favorite series is IHS, ToTW, ECLP, or TL&P, sorry) (or unless you’re about to do something like cast Benedict Cumberbatch as Nova, I advise you not to do that)

re: never watching morally-bad media ever again.
idk. It’s possible to acquire problematic media without financially or socially benefiting the people who created it, and I argue problematic media is part of a balanced media diet. I listen to podcasts like Knowledge Fight - a show that keeps tabs on what’s happening in InfoWars and Alex Jones’ public life - not because I enjoy Alex Jones, but because it’s actively helpful to understand how shitheads like him operate and continue to operate while I’m in my safe little social media bubble of hot trans people and goofy Trigun posts. One of the first things I acquired for my local media server is the movie about the Titanic sinking produced by Nazis. People raise an eyebrow when I say “I have the Nazi Titanic” but then you watch it and the propaganda is as insidious as it is simplistic. They literally wrote a German OC into a real-world tragedy and decided the builder of the Titanic was Jewish. The final shot of the movie is a wall of text about how capitalistic greed wins once again. It damn near asks the audience to go enlist. I argue having that/showing people that is as important - if not more - than showing people Triumph of the Will in college. TotW or Birth of a Nation are categorically evil documents. Even if you’re not prompted beforehand, you walk out of that rolling your eyes and saying “I GET it, sheesh.” Titanic (1943) is a disaster movie that happens to also be a recruitment tool to the bullshit ideology of a fascist movement. That movie is a (only slightly) more intense version of how Marvel’s scripts are blessed by the US Army. Finger-waggling that someone watches a used DVD of the wizard boy movies achieves nothing. Watching that as an adult and seeing all the shit you missed is a kid is much more useful than just pretending the whole goddamn thing is a writeoff. Examine WHY it sucks. I’d much rather millennials attempt to rekindle old nostalgia and find the hook-nosed goblins and knowledge several of the adult cast members endorse/defend JKR a bitter ingredient that ruins the dish. When you watch something with dark undertones, you can break apart the inherent pieces and figure out why you liked it initially. For all the bullshit thinkpieces about how HP was kid-power, the true answer for the movies, at least, is the environment. The music. The locations. Columbus made a warm kids’ movie set in a castle and it had a John Williams score to spackle over the cracks of the shitty underlying story. It may not be literal nazi propaganda but there’s utility to occasionally dipping into media made by shitty people with shitty opinions. Black-and-white knee-jerk shit like frustratedly shouting “just watch SOMETHING ELSE” so you get 30k notes doesn’t actually accomplish anything.

🤡 Yet Another Fic Writing Tag Game 🤡
Since it’s April Fool’s Day, let’s be fools about our own writing instead of pranking others!
This is a nice April Fool's alterative, I like it! Thank you for the tag Harrow.
Answer the following questions, then tag 3 others you would like to participate:
• Which of your characters are you an absolute fool for?
Right now? It would have to be Take on the World!Yoongi. His character is just so freaking relaxed and he falls into his new daddy role so easily.
• Which genre are you most confident writing in?
Fluff is my go to. It is easy to just fall in love with love, ya know?
• Who is your favorite minor character in any of your fics?
I had fun writing Taehyung in Blessed with a Curse. He was spitfire
• Which of your fic’s worlds would you most like to live in?
Blackthorn would be wild to live in...full of magic and wonderful food. But on the other hand, I think I would like to live in modern day Blackthorn (which I haven't written yet ��).
• What is the silliest small detail you’ve ever written that still makes you laugh or smile?
I sometimes find myself throwing in real life situations (easter eggs) into my fics without meaning to. In totw, there is a scene where Hoseok gets scared and he starts cursing at Yoongi and at the end he is pouty and says "you made me curse"...which is what happened to him but it was with Jimin.
• If you could cast anyone in an adaption of any of your fics (other than whoever has inspired/shares the name of the character) who would it be and why?
I would really love to see Lee Soohyuk casted as Taehyung from Run From Me. He is such a beautiful man and I love him as a vampire. I wouldn't mind him playing another cruel broken hearted vampire again.

🤡 Yet Another Fic Writing Tag Game 🤡
Since it’s April Fool’s Day, let’s be fools about our own writing instead of pranking others!
Answer the following questions, then tag 3 others you would like to participate:
• Which of your characters are you an absolute fool for?
Good Morning! Hoseok. Hands down one of the sweetest boys I’ve ever written. Ugh I love him so much
• Which genre are you most confident writing in?
Rom coms, specifically ones that you’d probably see on the Hallmark channel or kdramas lololol
• Who is your favorite minor character in any of your fics?
Hoseok in Microcosmos. He’s just such a good dude and I adored writing him in this story. You might be noticing a theme here, and it’s that I basically love Hoseok in every thing I write 🤣🤣
• Which of your fic’s worlds would you most like to live in?
Probably the one in Worlds Collide. I love the idea of just a little bit of magic infused in our typical world. I had to think of this one a bit because many of my stories take inspiration from very real places in my life 🙃🙃🙃
• What is the silliest small detail you’ve ever written that still makes you laugh or smile?
Hoseok throwing out the coffee maker because he thought it was possessed in Microcosmos. Just imagining him jumping a mile in the air at the noise, then throwing it in the dumpster like the “moon’s haunted” meme makes me smile every time
• If you could cast anyone in an adaption of any of your fics (other than whoever has inspired/shares the name of the character) who would it be and why?
Woo Do-hwan would be Jin’s character in The Season. He is so good at playing characters that are sincere and interesting. I love seeing his work as an actor, and also (selfishly) I want to see him play a Prince Charming type character lolol
Tagging for the game: @sailoryooons @btsmosphere @theharrowing and anyone else who wants to join in!

i cannot believe that totw got rid of my fears so quickly????
- first, both gunwoo and his mom see sohee in eunjae, so it’s just. i’m supposed to believe that eunjae ‘has’ a sohee-esque quality to her, that helplessness which both brother and mother of the min fam just cannot ignore. and look. i watched inuyasha, where kikyo and kagome looked nothing alike but everyone kept saying it so i had to be like ‘yeah okay’, (fact: only true for the anime, not manga), so this is easier to suspend my disbelief tbh, since casting actresses to look alike is hard rather than... animating them and PURPOSELY highlighting their differences to distinguish the two characters.
- gunwoo is DEEPLY suspicious and creeped out by the fact eunjae has taken on his sister’s name and is now living with his mother. like, yeah, eunjae absolutely didn’t know that she was employed by his mother, but the coincidence is offputting, and the fact that he dislikes her (a little bit) because of this is wonderful!
great going!!! i thought this was going to be dragged out, but nope! more drama is sure to come!

WORKS IN PROGRESS ✒️
Tumblr media
A master post I’ll update as needed with the scoop on what’s up with both your favorite series/mini-series & what’s on deck - it’ll be linked at both the main index & the mobile master list for your curiosity convenience.
*~* COMING SOON *~*
The Cupid Complication
This is for my Secret Valentine this year, though it’ll be out the day prior for Galentine’s Day, and I bet you can divine from the title that it’ll be a crazy, fun time for the guys (and “you”!).
.
Top of the World
The re-launch is coming, and with it a really killer page, full of images, a cast of characters section, and a chapter guide. It is now split into three "seasons”: Revelation, which is completed, followed by Heritage and Legion. Get ready.
6 Feb 19 - This is my baby. I still work on it/the awesome page for it weekly. I don’t know when the relaunch for book two is coming. I just don’t know.
.
The Lore You Know
Part Five done, just one more and then the epilogue for TOTW readers.
6 Feb 19 - The final part is mostly fleshed-out; the epilogue I don’t know, since I’ve had to put off the big relaunch for TOTW
.
#Nash300
Several prompts still in the ol’ drafts folder - I haven’t forgotten! Just gotta wait for inspo to strike! And sometimes I work these into other stories, so there’s that.
6 Feb 19 - Same, no change. When it hits me, it hits me. 
.
*~* ON DECK *~*
See above - TLYK and the V-day fic are all that’s on deck for the immediate future.
.
*~* EVENTUALLY *~*
---> A fun one-shot about THIS, wherein a dismembered colleague of the guys has a hell of a time, um.... getting it together HAHAHA wow that was lame.
6 Feb 2019 - This ^^^ is presently on hold. No one has my permission to use this plot bunny. I’ve given some away in the past. This isn’t one of those times. I’ve talked about this one before over the past couple years, I’ve still yet to see anything like it, so I better not see it within my circle/network because I’ll know where it came from. You’ve been warned (....she said seriously but kindly).
,
---> #Nash’s 6 for 600 that rapidly turned into #Nash’s 666
This’n will take awhile.... but the rough draft’s there... I’m working on getting it reeeaaally tight, as I kinda didn’t mean for the celebration to entail all this, but hell, why not?
5 Aug 2018 - I was clear in the initial post (see screencap below) that the celebration was to be peeps tossing out six word stories. Some people misunderstood. I felt like I should do what they wanted, and that’s on me. I took a ton of time whipping up a video and fleshing out a story. I’m not doing this any longer. The celebration is over, this is complete, it is what I said it would be. I’m leaving the initial post alone for transparency (I am *so* not in the mood for being told I wasn’t clear; it was clear) but amending any related posts/master lists/master posts so no new readers feel misled. 
Tumblr media
.
*~* WHO KNOWS? *~*
Build Me Up, Buttercup
This one *does* occasionally call my name, it’s a great thing for me when I’m in a giddy mood and have insomnia - the time suck is (A) giving y’all some fun images, and (B) re-reading parts of the book to make sure I’m nailing it. But I’ve long had the book’s/movie’s parts divided into documents for each installment, so that sucker’s planned. Just depends on time! 
5 Aug 2018 -  Don’t get your heart set on it ever being finished. I know I chose to incorporate the book and not just the movie, and I know I chose to create *incredibly* time-consuming images and such, and now I’m choosing to stop. I don’t know what else to tell you. I may change my mind, may not. Sorry to those of you who genuinely like it. It was meant to be a quick one-shot thing (1st part), just a little parody-spoof. It’s not getting enough feedback - enough of a work:feedback ratio - to spur me to continue. 
That’s all to report for now, folks! Thanks for reading!
* Note: The reason for my blunt tone in some of these updates likely doesn’t have to do with you personally - last fall, I was treated, upon reflection, way too harshly for a couple things I did.
One was a post I’d made (since deleted, though I kept the screencaps/receipts of what was said on both sides) on the topic of lack of feedback to stories. Some of what I said was admittedly ill-phrased, but the overall message was clear, and was willfully misunderstood. For one example, accused of saying that I was “owed” praise, which I never said. For another example, one of the things I suggested were templates (fill-in-the-blank things, so that they could be personalized) for feedback for those persons who are shy, nervous about engaging, or simply believe they are not good at communicating, but who want to express their love of a story - so another thing I was accused of was telling people what to say. That’s what I mean by willful misunderstanding. Learned lesson, and while I may agree with/reblog/support fellow writers who discuss this topics in their own posts, I’m 99% sure I’ll personally never discuss this topic again. But it will always boggle my mind that people think it’s cool to not say at minimum “thank you” for an unexpected gift they received that they enjoyed. No one is too shy or too nervous or think they’re too poor at communication to simply say “Thank you, this was great”. It’s a bullshit excuse. Just say “Thank you”. Anybody - from toddlers on up  - can say “Thank you”, and anybody who has reading comprehension and understands a reblog button and how these blogs work can say (type) a simple “Thank you”.
Secondly, around this same time, I had sent an encouraging message to someone about considering putting a great tale they’d written into its own post, as opposed to leaving it on the reblog they’d used, so they’d get credit for their great work vs. the “likes” and reblogs getting mixed in with the ones for the gif set they’d written it on, because I’d love to put it on my rec list and get them some circulation. The bizarre vitriol I received in response (complete with name-calling and presumptions about my intent) were beyond the pale (and I showed others to check myself, and they agreed it was - have to use this word again - bizarre), and so I basically learned my lesson about trying to encourage people to have a new post for their work. So that’s why the tone - again, it’s not directly toward you, personally. It’s just me not beating around the bush.

EA forced to put popular FIFA 20 Ultimate Team promo on hold • Eurogamer.net
No real football, no Team of the Week.
EA has been forced to postpone a popular FIFA 20 Ultimate Team promo as it looks increasingly unlikely real-world football will return any time soon.
Team of the Week Moments, itself a lockdown replacement for the traditional Team of the Week promo, will be placed on hold during the ongoing Team of the Season So Far promo, EA confirmed in a blog post.
Team of the Week Moments was introduced in March as EA tweaked FUT because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Normally, EA runs Team of the Week promotions in which new cards are introduced into packs based on the outstanding performance of real players. These new cards have fancy designs, and boosted stats to reflect the real players’ good form.
But with football off for the foreseeable future across the world, EA no longer has real players to base Team of the Week cards upon. So it ditched Team of the Week, replacing it with a new promotion called Team of the Week Moments, a recurring promotion based on a historical TOTW release from previous FUT titles.
Over a month later, and with the return of real-world football still looking distant, EA has canned Team of the Week Moments, too.
The current Team of the Week Moments promo goes out of packs at 6pm UK time today, 29th April. From then, Team of the Week Moments is on hold.
“Should the football calendar resume widely enough, Team of the Week would return following TOTSSF effective Wednesday, 10th June,” EA said.
“Otherwise, Team of the Week Moments will continue effective Wednesday, 10th June.”
All football in the UK remains suspended indefinitely, though ongoing talks are pointing to the season resuming some time in June. However, Belgian doctor Michel D’Hooghe, chair of Fifa’s medical committee, recently cast doubt on the return of real-world football in the short-term, saying “there are a lot of arguments to say we should not yet play competitive football” because of the coronavirus pandemic. Other leagues across Europe though have cancelled this season entirely, with France, Holland and Belgium now finished for the 2019/20 campaign.

assorted 九龍城寨之圍城 | twilight of the warriors: walled in filming trivia
(sourced from interviews with raymond lam, terrance lau, tony wu, and german cheung that were posted to bilibili and xiaohongshu, and some behind-the-scenes videos on youtube)
set design/production:
the set design left everyone in awe, from the first day of filming to the last with all the detail and care that was put into it, and they all thought it was a shame when the sets had to be torn down (the space used to build sets for the first movie was only rented, but they hope sets built for the future films can be kept more permanently for others to see after filming)
the chefs and tradesmen working at different shops in the walled city in the backgrounds of shots were all actual professionals. while the cameras were rolling they would legitimately be roasting pork, making dumplings, etc (which means the sets were built to accommodate the required utilities as well)
all the porn tapes stacked against the walls of av's clinic are real vintage tapes from that decade. german grabbed some random ones once and popped them into the tv to test them and actual videos played
it took 3 hours for the makeup team to turn german into av each day, and after every single fight scene take they'd be rushing over to adjust his makeup. he gave a shoutout to the makeup crew in one interview for being so tireless
training and stuntwork:
the actors trained for a straight month before starting filming. as expected some of it was fight/choreography learning but a lot was also focused on building up stamina, as they might have had to do 20+ takes of a move in one day in order to get it right
sometimes they trained so much in one day that they ended up throwing up (raymond and german mostly)
most call sheets define a set time to start and a time to finish for each day. according to german the call sheets for this movie instead would say something like "06:00-END"
german helped with conceptualizing some fight choreography on set, as he's a professional stunt coordinator
raymond tripped and tumbled down a flight of stairs on the walled city set quite early on in shooting. he didn't get injured thankfully but his biggest regret is that no camera was there to capture it (it was 8-9am in the morning and too early for the behind-the-scenes cameras to have arrived)
tony got his jaw cut open while filming one of the final fights and had to get 12-15 stitches (he stressed the professionalism and attentiveness of the crew and how safety was managed on set, but accidents will still happen)
terrance was riding shin's motorcycle through a narrow corridor once, but he was going too slow and the bike tipped over. he fell and burned his leg on the exhaust pipe
there was one day where they filmed for over 20 hours. started during daytime, watched the sun go down, watched it come up again before they went home
sammo hung did a lot of his fight scene shots in one take and of course, the man is a master at this but it still left the younger actors gobsmacked
acting and filming things:
terrance was always eating ferrero rocher chocolates on set. the others got into it too, it boosted energy and morale (raymond also gifted terrance a box of them at some point)
louis koo likes to make small talk with people and doesn't want others to be afraid of him
the dialogue during the mahjong scenes with the walled city four was all improvised on the day of. neither the director nor raymond knew how to play mahjong so they had to figure out what play would be realistic while talking
terrance and louis's reactions during cyclone's death scene were filmed separately. terrance said louis was not only very encouraging when it was time for him to do his part, but he silently handed terrance some alcohol to drink before the cameras started rolling, to ease his nerves (it worked)
the last scene the walled city four filmed was the fishing hut scene where lok-kwan reunites with the other three. they all hugged one another and cried together once they'd wrapped
something else happened on wrap night between german, tony, and terrance that they cheerfully shush one another about whenever it's brought up, and raymond does not know what happened. german has mentioned that that night he got to see another side/a truer side of terrance though, whatever that means ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
a sequel is in the works for totw. the four aren't sure when things on that will start but all they need is for someone to say the word, and they'll be there. they're willing to wait for the screenwriters if it means they have a solid, well-written story to follow up the first film

九龍城寨之圍城 | Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In (2024)
I've rewatched this movie more than once, since seeing it in theatres back in August, and each time was just as good as the first if not better. Given that, I now have many thoughts so I'm subjecting y'all to listening to why you should watch it:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In (九龍城寨之圍城 or gau2 lung4 sing4 zaai6 zi1 wai4 sing4) is a martial arts action/crime film directed by Soi Cheang. It is an adaptation of the manhua City of Darkness by Andy Seto, and its source novel of the same name by Yuyi. The film's cast has established Hong Kong names folded in with newer-generation actors, starring Raymond Lam, Louis Koo, Sammo Hung, Richie Jen, Terrance Lau, Philip Ng, German Cheung, and Tony Wu (Aaron Kwok gets a cameo role, too).
At a broad glance, the movie follows several major triads in 1980s Hong Kong and their power struggle to control the Kowloon Walled City (a densely populated urban enclave, which for decades evaded direct governance by either the British colonial or Chinese powers in the area). We're introduced to the KWC and the triads' major players through the eyes of Chan Lok-Kwan (Raymond Lam), a man fleeing Vietnam and attempting to make a life for himself in HK. He winds up seeking refuge in the KWC, and comes to call both the city and the people he meets in it a home worth defending.
The narrative itself is not the most complex, but if you enjoy '80s Hong Kong films in these genres, it's solid fare and a harkening back to that decade. All the major themes like brotherhood (and brotherhood vs blood), vengeance, and struggle with conflicting loyalties are there, alongside an internal search for identity and belonging within Hong Kong. But the highlight in it is that the plot connects feast after feast of utterly stunning fight choreography, made all the more impressive by the fact that, according to Louis Koo, quite a few major cast members had never filmed this kind of action before. All their training was done just for TotW, and oh, does it pay off. I can't make good gifs, so you'll have to watch and see for yourself. It's not action for action's sake, either; listening to the head stunt choreographer discuss how different characters' fighting styles were crafted shows off how fight scenes aren't breaks in the story, they tell the story, and deepen our understanding of the characters.
The setting of the Kowloon Walled City truly makes the action in TotW stand out. It's a unique space to stage all these major fights, as the KWC's buildings at the time were packed together close enough to resemble a singular block from the outside. Once inside, it's a stacked, dark maze of uneven paths, stairs, and rickety roofs, with electrical and television cabling snaking over/around/through everything. Fight scenes in these streets feel thrillingly claustrophobic, with lots of acrobatics and near-dodges as characters navigate these tight alleys of the KWC. Each impact as a character goes flying into a wall, or is launched down a flight of stairs or onto a roof, is wonderfully visceral to watch.
All credit and hopefully awards are due to the production and set design teams for their work, in crafting this environment for the story and its fights. The visual/spatial representation of the KWC is the film's other glorious highlight, alongside the choreography. Whole streets of the KWC were recreated for this, filled with every mundane, period-accurate detail from the lives of ordinary people who would have lived there. It's impossible to catch all the intricacies put into making the KWC come to life again onscreen, just from watching the film. Shots like the credits sequence offer close-ups of harder-to-see details, and videos like a tour of the KWC set by Terrance Lau, acting as his character Shin, show off things from the drinks in the fridge at the corner store to the scribbled writing on the walls by the public taps. This film was designed with a drive to faithfully represent what the Kowloon Walled City had been like, how it looked when it was lived in, and they achieved it to an incredible degree.
That dedication extends to more than just the sets, though. The emotional core of TotW revolves around the KWC's inhabitants, and how they were the ones who made the city what it was, a home for about 35,000 people at a time. The film doesn't treat the KWC as just an eye-catching location to stage some fights; its characters might be fictional and overloaded with jianghu powers, but it goes out of its way to show how ordinary people might have lived, worked, and socialized within the historic city. It shows off why, despite its (not unwarranted) dark reputation, so many chose to live in a place that was once the densest urban center on the planet.
And this brings us to the acting, because the cast all do a very good job bringing their characters to life as the heart of the KWC. Louis Koo is fucking fantastic and arguably the scene stealer of the film as Cyclone, the triad leader in current charge of the KWC. He's grumpy, magnetic, and dangerous when he must be, but he also cares so very, very deeply about the inhabitants within his jurisdiction. Terrance Lau's Shin acts as his charismatic and capable right hand man, as well as protégé to Cyclone, befriending Chan Lok-Kwan and helping him become accustomed to life in the KWC. These two, along with the snarky Twelfth Master (Tony Wu) and the masked + imposing AV (German Cheung) become a quartet with great chemistry and friendship, the next generation to watch over and protect the Kowloon Walled City. Outside the KWC cast, antagonist figures like Sammo Hung, Philip Ng, and Richie Jen's characters are intimidating and compelling as threats to the city, and the lives people have etched out within its walls.
All of these things put together, and Twilight of the Warriors is a deeply fun, enjoyable, and rewatchable film (so good, in fact, that Hong Kong has submitted it as its nomination for the 2025 Oscars). The movie doesn't lose its emotional throughline in the promise of an action-packed ride it fully delivers on, and it uses its narrative, setting, and choreography to pay tribute to an earlier era of Hong Kong, as well as highlight + humanize a piece of the region's history that might not be quite as well known to some.
(The Kowloon Walled City was demolished and its inhabitants relocated in 1993. The area where it once stood is now a park, with some historic buildings preserved. If you're curious about people in the KWC before demolition, City Of Darkness: Life In Kowloon Walled City (1993) by Greg Girard and Ian Lambot is a collection of photographs and first-hand recountings from residents, recording their lives and stories. I'm in the midst of reading it right now.)
If anything I've said has piqued your interest whatsoever, I say to give Twilight of the Warriors a try, if you have a free two hours to spare. Something in it will be worth it for you. And if I've failed to convince you with any of this, or you need one more push, here's the trailer for the film:

And if I did manage to actually get anyone to seek out this movie, please tell me! I'd love to know your thoughts.

i’d say that like. the cast of totw makes me angry and yet??? part of me is like. traipsing that line of being fond of them too.
shin ae ri: sociopathic best friend who wants the husband and is doing everything she can to break up the marriage AND constantly trying to get the man to fuck her again and again because she’s in love with him. the excuses and reasons she comes up with is. just. astounding.
gyo bin: consistently claims it’s not his fault he keeps on having an affair with shin ae ri. she seduces him, she blackmails him. it’s not his fault he’s got such a weak character!
the mother in law: will find every excuse to hate on eun jae, even though she already treats her like a maid and gum on her shoe.
like. they’re all awful. i hope they all die. but damn if they’re not entertaining, those rotten pieces of shit.
