The rain poured and poured; the rain fell and fell.

I looked up feeling as the droplets were falling onto me. The weather reflecting my life right now. I replayed the moments of a couple hours ago in my head.

-‘๑’-

“Hey mark?” I asked through the phone.

“Yeah, baby?” He replied.

“Can I go over to you? Or is it-“

“No, no yeah you can. Is something the matter?”

“Ah, well I just miss you,” I replied.

“I miss you too, baby. I’ll be waiting for you here then.”

I bid him goodbye and hung up the call. Today was the day. The day I’d leave him, at least try to. I love Mark with everything in me, but we can’t be together anymore. Our love is forbidden. It was never meant to last. Forever doesn’t exist for us.

I’d arrived in front of his door. I hesitated knocking, this would be the last time I’d come here. I knocked and heard a clicking sound, he’d unlocked the door.

“Hey baby don’t just stand there, come in,” he said, softly.

I walked into his apartment, soaking in everything one last time. The picture frames, art pieces, messy sofa, even the spiderman figure on his coffee table. I walked into his living room, Mark following right behind me.

I turned around facing him. He was a couple inches away from me, so I walked closer to him, centimeters away. I placed a hand on his cheek, caressing it. I wanted to cry, I could feel the tears threatening to spill down.

“What’s wrong Y/N?” he said in a concerned tone.

“I love you,” I said in a whisper. “I love you so much Mark, more than words can ever describe.”

He took both his hands, cupping my face gently. “I love you too baby, a lot more than you think I do.”

His words radiated such warmth, I didn’t wanna end this. Our story though was not a fairy tale.

I leaned in, my lips on his. Our kiss started off as something gentle filled with love, pure love. But then it deepened, filled with desire, desperation, lust.

We continued kissing until there was no oxygen for either of us. “You’re so beautiful Y/N,” Mark said, pecking my jaw. His kisses continued along my neck, jaw, and collarbones. In the meantime his hands worked on my shirt, trying to get that thing off of me. He pulled it over my head, his kisses continuing along the valley of my breast. “Jump,” he said, wrapping my legs around his waist. I could feel his erection against my clothed core.

He guided me to his bedroom, placing me on his bed gently. His hands working on my jeans. I was left in nothing but my underwear. “Take your clothes off too Mark.” He listened, his clothes slowly joining mine.

He came back to me with a kiss. It was filled with desire, I pretty darn sure my wetness was leaking through my underwear. His hands palmed my core causing me to moan into the kiss. His lips dragged along me going down and down.

“Already so wet from kissing?” he said, the nightlight illuminating the small smirk plastered across his face.

“Get up for me baby,” he said. I got up and waited for him to say more. “Take your bra off.” I obliged, tossing it somewhere in the room. His hands groped my breasts, the sensation sending electric shocks through me. I straddled his lap and his head came down to my breasts.

He stuck his tongue out, lapping it around my nipple. It felt so good as he flicked his tongue. My other breast was being pinched by his fingers until his mouth met that one as well. I moaned his name out over and over, “Mark, fuck.”

I felt as he bit my nipple, causing me to wince. I was practically riding him feeling his hard erection against my hot core. I was sure if I got up my wetness would be seen on his boxers.

“So needy baby,” said Mark against my breast. “Turn the other way for me.”

I did just as he said to, my back facing him. “Open your legs,” he whispered in my ear. I opened them a little wider, as his hand made it’s way towards my core, putting my underwear to the side.

“Fuck you’re soaking.”

He slid a finger into me, my back arching at the sensation. It was just one finger but oh god- another finger went in. He pumped his fingers in and out, “look at me baby.” I turned my head, his lips crashing to mine. “Got to get you nicely prepared to take my cock pretty girl,” he said, kissing my cheek and jaw.

“Ah- M-Mark I’m clo-close.”

“It’s okay baby, just let it out,” he said, bringing his thumb to my clit.

“Oh yes- fuck just like that Ma-Mark.”

He chuckled, “Go on cum.” Oh and I did, I came. My legs trembling, my chest heaving. “You did so well baby,” he said, pecking my temple.

I got up from his lap and kneeled down. I wanted him and I wanted him now. “Impatient baby?”

“Mm, I want you Mark. Please let me have you,” I said as I looked up at him.

He let out a curse before pulling his boxers down. His cock sprung out, angry and full of precum. “You look so pretty begging to have me, so here have it.”

He didn’t have to tell me twice. I wrapped my hand around his cock, licking his precum. I licked up his cock, wanting to tease him for a bit; wanting to savor this moment a while longer.

“Come on baby, stop the teasing,” he said deeply. He was growing impatient, I could hear it in his voice. In fact I was too, I wanted him in my mouth, so I took him in. Slowly, but then his hands gripped my hair. “You got this baby, just a little more deeper.”

Fuck. Mark was big and thick, my eyes were tearing up already. He pushed my head further down, groans leaving his throat. “You’re taking it so well like the good girl you are.”

Mark was always good at saying things whenever we got intimate. It turned me on even more. Once his cock was fully in, I started moving. Bobbing my head, moans coming out of both of us. “Eyes up baby.” I fluttered my eyes to him, his expressed; fucked out. He was enjoying this too.

He looked at me, “Don’t stop Y/N, it feels so good.” I kept going, his tip hitting the back of my throat. “Shit, just like that baby.” He was now controlling my movements, going faster. The tears streaming down my face. He wouldn’t stop groaning, I saw as he bit his bottom lip; he was close.

With a string of curses he finally came, I made sure to take all of his cum, not missing a single drop. “You did so good, baby,” he said, patting my head. I got up and smashed my lips against his, I was sure he could take his cum from my mouth.

“Put it in pretty girl,” he said, grabbing my hips.

I sunk down, feeling my pussy stretch. “Ah, Ma-Mark fuck…” I felt intoxicated, my head somewhere else.

“You’re still so tight huh,” he said, smacking my ass cheek.

I widened my eyes at his sudden action. “Yo-You’re just so bi-“ before I could finish my sentence he pushed me down, finally getting it all in.

His hands went back to my hips and his lips to my breast. “Come on, start moving baby.” Oh and I did, I felt so full. So euphoric. Oh how I love Mark. My trance was knocked out when he bit the side of my throat.

“What are you thinking about? You got right here baby,” he said, his voice deep.

“So-Sorry.”

He smirked, thrusting even more harshly. He was going faster and faster, no mercy.

“Slow down, please Mark! I’ll cum.”

“So cum baby, we got all night.” He slipped his thumb to my clit, abusing it. “Come on now, finish for me,” he whispered in my ear.

With a few more harsh thrusts I finally came. My second orgasm of the night. My back arching and mouth open. “So good,” I mumbled, earning a slight chuckle from Mark who was also close. His thrusts were getting sloppy.

“You gonna let me come inside?”

I nodded furiously, I was on the pill either way. If this truly was the last time I’d get to take his cum then so be it.

With that he came inside me, painting my walls white. Feeling even more full than before. We collapsed on the bed, trying to catch our breaths. His arms wrapped around mine, it felt so warm, I wished time would stop here.

“Let’s get you cleaned up,” he whispered, loud enough for me to hear.

He took me in his arms, going to the bathroom. By the time we left the bathroom, I had one or two more orgasms; still unable to keep our hands off each other. I fell asleep while in the bath tub, next thing I knew I woke up—it was 4am—his arms around me. Mark slept so peacefully, he was a beauty.

‘I have to leave, I have to leave now,’ I thought. So I carefully snuck out of his warm embrace and slipped my clothes back on. I walked to the bedroom door, stealing my final glance at the sleeping Mark. One tear, then two left my eyes.

“Goodbye Mark.”

-‘๑’-

That was hours ago, now the rain poured on me endlessly. Cars passed by and people with umbrellas. The world continued, but mine had stopped.

The stars on my scars have disappeared now and now those scars have become visible again.

Mark and I was a story with no beginning. Mark and I was a love story that was forbidden.

“You were never going to be mine.”

p.s- u guys know where i got my title idea from 🫢 ?!

[thesecretsoftheuniverse]

Could u do jealous neteyam headcannons or a fic pls? I love all ur works and ur writing style!

clouded perception !

– pairing neteyam x gn!reader | wc 2.6k | warnings a lot of jealousy, a lot of angst i guess (i had way too much fun with this oops) but also some fluff | what's inside neteyam has to learn how to deal with something he has never felt before as he watches you train with a close friend – authors note my first request! how exciting! i'm sorry it took so long. i hope i did your wishes justice anonie and thank you for the kind words! also feedback is of course always appreciated (and i'm the worst at naming fics haha) :)

neteyam excelled in anything you could possibly think of, especially in activities related to hunting, whether it was tracking, archery or flying. he was a natural in everything he persued. so obviously he felt hurt when you decided so ask another one of the skilled young na’vi to help you practice your shooting skills as you had always had a hard time keeping up with the others when it came to using your bow and arrow. you were training to become a healer, which put different qualities to a test. ever since you had been romantically involved with neteyam mo’at startet to take you under her wing to make sure you grew into your role of a possible future tsahík. but knowing every detail about plants and their healing capabilities and getting taught how to nurse and how to form a close bond with ewya didn’t spare you from basic training in archery to be able to defend yourself and your people if it ever came to a worst case scenario. this was the reason why you started to spend more time than usual with one of your closest childhood friends – ‘anoa. it didn’t pass anyone that he was one of the most promising young warriors of the clan, frequently being compared to neteyam te suli tsyeyk'itan, the golden boy and child progidy of the clan. but neteyam had been busy, now more than ever. if he wasn’t with the hunting party, he was planning with his dad for an upcoming raid, assisting him where- and whenever he could. because of that the time you and neteyam shared was scarce and most definitely not used to get additional lessons in archery. that was why you confided in your best friend who gladly accepted your request.

one morning you and ‘anoa were standing on the edge of a clearing, facing makeshift targets. it was still early, the first rays of sunshine barely touching the tips of the trees and morning dew still covering the grass. your back was resting against ‘anoa’s bare chest as you were repeating the basics while drawing your bow, him correcting your position again and again, “you need more core strength. mind your abdominal muscles.” he turned over, pressing the palm of his hand against your stomach, which was slowly rising and falling from your deep breaths, “more, more.” as you were trying your best to tense your muscles just like ‘anoa instructed you pulled funny faces to make your training seem extra exhausting and get a smile out of your friend. “skxawng,” ‘anoa chuckled, slightly tapping the side of your head, but immediately returning to a more serious demeanour, “now just position your elbow a little bit higher and put your hand next to your cheek. close your eyes and feel your breath tingling your skin. sense the tension flooding your body and how it spreads to your arms and legs as you pull the string of your bow,” he said with a calm voice while correcting the placement of your left hand. “good. now that we’ve freshened up that bit try and give it a shot.” you focused on your target, feeling the hot breath tickling the skin of your fingers, mentally checking your position one last time. your mind shut down completely as you were focusing on what was in front of you before you let go of the arrow, seeing it flying into the direction of your target and hitting its center. you heard the impact as the arrowhead drilled itself into the trunk of the tree. “hey, you’re a natural! i don’t even know why we’ve been practicing all morning”, 'anoa cheered with a smile, giving you a side-hug. unbeknownst to you you had been watched. neteyam noticed how you had been up too early for you linking and left the village. surprised by your secretive behaviour and also wondering what you were up to was why he decided to follow you, which led to him hiding in the thicket of the forest, closely observing your little meet up. he knew that he could trust you and that you would never go behind is back. he also knew ‘anoa and what he meant to you, that you had been growing up together and that both of you were very close, almost like siblings as you yourself never had one. this was rather unnatural to na’vi, who tended to come in big families. but due to that you and ‘anoa were basically a package deal as over time he became something like a substitute sibling to you. and neteyam also knew that ‘anoa was already having a partner, a lovely girl. neteyam hadn’t been introduced to her yet, but he knew that she was a talented weaver and that she occasionally helped out his mother if there was something needed last minute while preparing for special occasions. but still, neteyam couldn’t help but let jealousy cloud his thinking, especially when he should’ve been the one standing there with you, with your back pressed against his body, him adjusting your movements and watching you beaming with pride after successfully making your shot. jealousy – something he had never felt before. something he never had to feel, as every male na’vi knew who you belonged to and that the son of the olo’eyktan is someone not to be messed with . so they always kept their distance. neteyam contemplated whether he should interrupt your training session, but settled on heading back to the village, still lost in his thoughts and having a frown on his face, angrily pushing aside every branch crossing his way as he was desperately trying to get rid of the irrational feeling sitting in his guts, which was slowly spreading through his body and engulfing his mind.

something was off. you could almost smell it in the air. this undetectable feeling was following you around all day long, haunting you at work while you were taking care of the wounded, ill and elderly. it was eating away at the food as you were sitting on the floor sharing dinner with your lover’s family and it followed you into your sleep. you couldn’t tell what exactly it was, but something was different. at first it didn’t really catch your attention as you thought this was just a phase. the day of the raid, which had been planned for weeks, was coming closer. so not only was every clan member busy with preparations as everyone who could in some way contribute was imposed with tasks depending on what their role and function within the clan was, but everyone was mostly stressed and worried. over time dinners started to become quieter as the mood shifted. even tuk, who tended to talk your ears off, wasn’t as chatty as usual. in the morning you suddenly were left without a loving peck on your temple, in the evening you weren’t greeted with a welcoming hug, being asked about your day. and this was going on for days. kiri was the first one to notice, to notice how neteyam was the one who grew more distant. more distant of you. how the first thing asking about after coming back from a hunt wasn’t you and your well-being or how he started to barely mention you anymore, requiting questions about you asked in his presence with a grunt. he started to become closed off and stopped talking about you, the light of his life. someone he normally didn’t shut up about. really, he stopped talking to anyone as time went by and jealousy started to consume him, wondering about why you felt the need of turning away from him, self-doubts starting to creep in. neteyam was a people pleaser, always trying his best for everyone around him. not meeting expectations was definitely something he was afraid of. he was afraid, if he had given you too little and if that was why you were turning to someone else, to someone better than him. the mighty warrior was afraid of being inferior. a fear he had been carrying with him ever since he had been able to think, something that had always been sitting in the back of his mind and now his worst nightmare seemingly became reality. losing his love, the one he was destined to be with, to someone else. to an outsider watching this probably seemed like an overreaction, like something blown completely out of proportion. you had been enamoured by neteyam ever since you were children. even a blind one was able to see it. so of course not a single soul would have possibly doubted your connection and your relationship, but neteyam was seeing red as he was confronted with something he was afraid of the most – losing a loved one, which changed his perception severely.

now that he became hyper-aware of the relationship of you and ‘anoa neteyam didn’t fail to miss every tiny interaction between you and your friend. he noticed ‘anoa’s subtle touches and how he put his hand on your lower back to bring you comfort. and neteyam saw the little wrinkles under your eyes, which always started to show whenever someone made you laugh so hard you had to hold your stomach and throw your head back. he noticed more than ever how ‘anoa made you laugh in that specific way, in a way only neteyam should have made you laugh. these little things hadn’t been anything new, but they started to bother him. it started to bother him that he wasn’t the only one in your life, even though this was something that had been off the table since the very beginning of your relationship as this was never going to happen anyway. he knew how much space ‘anoa took up in your life. but nonetheless you had never given your boyfriend any reason to doubt you or your love for him.

when neteyam started to brush off your absent-minded touches the both of you had been sharing ever since you started going out it finally dawned on you. it wasn’t the raid that occupied your lover’s mind, it had been you. but not in a good way. all of a sudden so many things made sense. how neteyam had been deliberately avoiding you all this time. how neytiri started to watch you and her oldest son with a worried look on her face, knowing that there was nothing in the world she could do make the situation any better as she knew she had to let you figure this out yourselves. and how kiri’s behaviour towards her brother became almost unbearable after she finally put two and two together. so you decided to take neteyam aside in an unwatched moment and make him listen to you. you didn’t know yet how to do that, but your plan had been set.

as you were on a break from your duties and sitting outside of one of the healer’s tents, thinking about how you could approach the issue, which had been on your mind for several days at that point you spotted neteyam. he was just about to leave for the next war council, accompanying his father who was discussing the next steps with other great warriors of the clan. you knew there probably would have come a better moment than this to stop him from whatever he was doing in order to talk. but you had to get this sorted, especially when anything could happen to neteyam during the planned raid. so you pulled yourself together, got up and headed into the same direction as him, following him into the woods. after a few minutes of just walking neteyam finally made a halt. you noticed the tips of his ears perking up, which gave away that he had heard you and that he knew who had been tracing his every step. neteyam inhaled deeply before slightly turning his head and acknowledging your presence, “y/n, I know you’re here with me.” you hesitated to react and give away your hiding spot. “you can come out. i know you’ve been following me ever since i left the village. i noticed your step pattern.” shit, you thought. of course he did. you slowly emerged from behind the plants you were hiding, not caring about the leaves rustling and the branches cracking under your feet. “yeah, it’s me”, you confirmed. you hesitantly approached him from behind, trying to not get too close as you didn’t want to intrude his space. neteyam lowered his head, still having his back turned to you, as you confessed, “i wanted to talk.” “well, but I don’t want to talk”, he requited. even though he was so quiet he was almost whispering, which was why you could barely hear him, you noticed how he sounded hurt, disappointment tinting his voice. “my love, you’ve been avoiding me for days know. i don’t know what i did wrong or how and why i hurt you. so could you please talk to me so that we can resolve this together?”, you asked gently, trying to stay diplomatic, even though anger was boiling within you due to his unfair treatment of you. “you truly don’t know what’s going on, do you?”, he snorted, but shortly after admitted, “to be fair i don’t even know what got into me myself.” “no, doofus! of course i don’t know what’s going. you didn’t say a word, just blatantly decided to avoid me.”

you finally dared to come closer, now standing directly behind neteyam’s back, putting on of your hands on his shoulder and slowly turning him around. “talk to me”, you encouraged him. neteyam sighed, putting his forehead against yours and taking your hands into his, stroking his thumbs along your knuckles. “it’s him. i know it’s irrational as he has always been here and he always will. nothing is ever going to change anything about that.” it took you a second before you understood who or what your boyfriend was talking about – ‘anoa. the look in your eyes became soft. “oh, yawne”, you whispered, putting one of your hands on his neck, playing with his hairline, and cupping his cheek with the other one, “i love you. so much. nothing is ever going to change about that,” you reassured with a hoarse voice. never in your wildest dreams would you leave neteyam, your fiercest protector and greatest confident. “i needed some more training, okay? and i knew you were busy. there is so little time we have to spend together and i value it too greatly to just waste it on some stupid bow and a stick, alright? that’s why i approached ‘anoa as i knew he would be understanding and gladly help me out.” you noticed how tears dared to escape your boyfriend’s eyes, a state he was seldomly seen in, while he was repeatedly nodding his head, "i guess i just felt useless." your heart broke into pieces as you listened to his words. “you will never be useless. not to this clan and especially not to me. your pain is my pain. so please cheer up, okay? i can’t stand seeing you in all this agony,” you said with the hint of a smile on your face, now tearing up yourself, while gently shaking him to try and cheer him up. neteyam sighed in reliefe, coming to realization that you weren’t going anywhere but sticking right to his side.

[batw1nggg]

this is just me being silly but im making a script for an essay video analyzing all of nagito's songs because i realized a lot of people dont even know about all of them especially poison i have absolute hope birthday and remaining cherry blossoms practically finished but i have no idea where to start with what poison is about lmao

if u do end up recording the essay PLZZZ LINK !!! i would love to see !!!!

ok so i’ll only be able to give a very surface level analyzation because i don’t know japanese and translations between eng and jp are always sort of janky, i might get some things wrong or miss some nuances (if anyone knows some japanese and wants to chime in please please do!!). but i can definitely give u the basic gist of it. translation taken from the danganronpa fandom wiki page. ok here we go

so the song takes place when komaeda kills himself (“I believe that hope / And will offer my pulsating heart / For the sake of that brilliance / I’ll tear apart my chest / Until the very last drop / Trickles down and wets my lips”, “I am merely watching over you”).

To me it seems like a summary of his thought process — he mentions wanting to “meet the biggest hope” (the hope that will overcome the despair of and end the killing game), how he has “no need for worthless things / anything ordinary and boring” (his thoughts on talentless people). those parts of the song are just outlining the basics of his worldview.

but, because this song is about komaeda’s death, it’s also inextricably tied to hinata. we see this most explicitly with the line “I love, and want to understand / him more than anyone else”. a main theme of komahina is their desire to understand each other.

That’s the really obvious hinata reference, but he also seems to be referenced more subtly throughout:

- “I have no need for worthless things / anything ordinary and boring / What meaning is there to words that will neither be deadly poison nor cure?” this is komaeda talking about how he thinks talentless people are boring, they’re neither shining hope (like the ultimates) nor crushing despair (like junko) and are just pawns in the game; but also, who exactly was it that chose to be neither deadly poison (despair) or cure (hope)? to create an ending separate of hope and despair altogether, to create a new choice, to focus on the future? komaeda’s asking what meaning there is to anything that is neither pure hope nor pure despair — anything that is not necessary to the cycle of hope and despair. hinata will go on to give him the answer.

- “When drinking poison poured into a glass will you drink it immediately or throw it away?” this one seems vague but I’m inclined to believe it’s about hinata because it’s followed by “I am merely watching over you / to whom the last choice is given”. the “whom” is very obviously hinata, he’s the one that makes the choice to wake up and then inspires everyone else to choose the same. that former lyric about the poison seems to be a fancy way of komaeda asking whether or not hinata will give into the despair of finding out the truth (drinking the poison) or decide to keep going despite it (throwing it away). he’s watching over hinata in death, entrusting hinata with that decision.

hinata being a core part of this song really speaks to how much trust komaeda was putting into hinata in chapters 5 and 6. i’ve already made a post or two about how komaeda’s faith in hinata to solve trial 5 and survive trial 6 was an integral factor in the game’s ending. komaeda can’t talk about his death without hinata being part of the conversation; hinata is the only one who’s ever tried to understand him instead of completely writing him off as insane, he’s a big part of komaeda’s life. we see at the end of the komaeda pov manga that hinata was komaedas last thought before death.

so yeah. to summarize: the song is about chapter 5. komaeda talks about his worldview, talks about how his worldview and faith in hope led to his sacrifice, and talks about his faith in hinata.

moonlight reflections

pairing: kaeya x reader

request: Hi!!! Can i please request a kaeya nsfw fic where he puts fem!reader who is insecure in front of a mirror and goes down on her sofly (reader has a praise and size kink). u can write afab!reader if ur uncomfy with a female one <3

a/n: thanks for requesting! i'm sorry this took so long but i hope you enjoy! <3

word count: 1005

warnings: nsfw content, fem! reader, praise kink, size kink (is not super obvious but might be there if you squint), a mirror being used for sexual purposes

Kaeya likes taking his time with you. He's perceptive enough to know when you're trying to avoid him; dodging his questions and fiddling with your fingers when he asks you whether you have time for a date. You agree to the date reluctantly.

It's a rushed date night, with you making excuses to leave even though Kaeya knows for a fact that you don't have those plans that you say you do. So, he says so.

And you, slightly deflated and a little guilty, invites him over to spend time with you instead. Which leads to the position you're both in right now.

Even with the lights off, it's still bright enough for you to see yourself in the reflection. Your feet are planted flat on the floor, and you're seated on the very edge of the bed. But the one thing that has you blushing, is the way that Kaeya has positioned you.

With your arms stretched out behind you, your chest is pushed outwards, and you feel exposed. Every little movement is accentuated, and you can see every shaky breath you do. It's much easier to turn your attention away from your reactions to look at Kaeya's movements instead.

He sighs against your skin, feeling you shiver when his breath tickles the side of your neck. Kaeya's long fingers press into your shoulders. He's practically memorised the spots that make you squirm in pleasure, and he drops reminders of it all over your skin. Small, short kisses against the sweet spot at your neck, thumbs stroking over that specific spot in your waist... He's giving so much attention to you and it feels like he's everywhere, all at once.

Without even realising, your eyes have closed and you're relaxing into his touch, letting him hold your weight against him. It's when your back hits the scratchy feels of his clothes that you're reminded that he's still fully dressed, but you're not.

He nibbles at your jaw — a reminder for you to keep your eyes open.

It feels like forever before Kaeya is kneeling in front of you, cold fingers coaxing your thighs open to make space for him.

"Kaeya..." You trail off.

His only response is pressing his lithe fingers further into your thighs. "You're warm," Kaeya says calmly, as though he's not an inch away from your wetness. A warm kiss is placed on the inside of your thighs, and he murmurs the next words into your skin. "And shaking. Relax." He seals the last word with another kiss.

You can't tell whether you're shaking from the cold, or whether—

"It's bright." You say quietly. And it is. Your eyes are darting between meeting your own gaze in your reflection, to watching your body's reactions to Kaeya's touches, to his clothed back. Warm emotions bubble up from your stomach; a weird mixture of nervousness and excitement.

Does he like what he sees?

You whisper his name again, nudging his cheek with your thigh. Kaeya looks back up at you then, eyelids lowered and face relaxed.

"You're always full of surprises, aren't you?" He leans up to kiss your stomach. "Who would have known someone as lovely as you would have such worries about how you look?" He's still looking at you, and as much as you can feel a warmth creeping up your skin, you can't seem to look away. "Just focus on me for now."

You nod in reply. The unexpected touch of his tongue against your clit causes you to jerk towards him.

It's a lot of mixed sensations when all the attention is on you. The contrast between Kaeya's cold fingers, thumb rubbing circles into your thighs, and his warm mouth placed over your core has your mind blanking. He hums into you, and you feel yourself let out a quiet moan.

He laughs into your skin. "Don't hold back."

You can feel him smiling mischievously into your skin as he continues his motions, even as you bite your lip and avoid his words. A certain movement has you gasping, one hand reaching forward to pull at his hair.

Kaeya leans back, your juices coating his lips and tongue flicking out dangerously. "What's the hurry? You don't want me to take my time with you?"

You shake your head, tracing the shape of his jaw with your fingers. He leans into your touch readily, before continuing with his previous motions. Tongue toying with your clit, paired with gentle bites. Your eyes close automatically, giving into the pleasurable sensations running through your body, and you almost forget what Kaeya has you really here for, until he pushes his fingers into you causing your eyes to snap open to look down at him.

"Look at yourself," he says, curling his fingers into a sweet spot that has you automatically bucking into his hand. "You're beautiful, and don't you ever forget it."

As soon as he murmurs those words, the knot in your stomach releases, and he's left to coax you down from your high. Murmurs of praises that send fluttery feelings through your body. You try to move to stand, but he stops you, hands pushing you back down into the seated position he had you in before.

You blink at him rapidly, head tilted to the side, but he merely smiles in response.

"You'll tell me, yes?" Kaeya's gaze is soft. "If you're really uncomfortable."

Sometimes you think Kaeya has too much patience when it comes to taking care of you. But he never gives you a reason to doubt him. So you know, that once you give him the go ahead, that he'll continue with his actions. Bringing all the focus back on you and getting you to cum on his tongue and fingers as long as you'll let him.

But really, he doesn't mind taking the time to do this at all. He can only hope that at some point, you'll start believing in the words he says and seeing yourself the way he sees you.

[h-worksrambles]

Just occurred to me what while I put my thoughts on yesterday’s Direct on my Twitter, I never posted them here. 😅

Overall, I found it pretty ok. There were only a few things that really stood out to me. But the good announcements were REALLY good.

I had heard there was gonna be a SNES remake but I’m surprised at myself for not guessing it would be Super Mario RPG. As of matter fact, I started that game back just before the Wii U eShop closed. I really liked what I played of it though so nice to see it get more love. And it sounds like the new version is doing Yoko Shimomura’s amazing music justice.

Spare a thought for those hoping for Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War or Donkey Kong Country. You’ll get your chance some day…

A solo Peach game for the first time since Super Princess Peach sounds interesting. And we got yet more evidence that I really need to FINALLY play the Luigi’s Mansion games. A lot of good Mario content (and that wasn’t even all of it but we’ll get there).

Pikmin fans are eating GOOD. Pikmin 4 continues to looks more promising every time we see it and now the whole series is on Switch. I only ever played the first one and I really liked it. So I’d be most interested to dive into the rest.

Penny’s Big Breakaway already looked cute but hearing it’s from the team behind SONIC MANIA?! Oh you’d better believe I’ll be keeping an eye on that.

Also not me wanting to buy the Ganondorf amiibo despite not usually bothering with them. For uhhhh…reasons.

And last of all…Super Mario Wonder. And this actually looks really freaking COOL. I feel like New Super Mario Bros. fatigue soured a lot of folks on 2D Mario but it’s been 10 years now and I think it’s important to remember: 2D Mario is pretty much always really freaking good. And it looks like Wonder has a strong identity in its setup and visual style as well as lots of cool ideas. All while keeping the multiplayer and strong core fundamentals that made NSMB so popular. I’m really happy to see two of my favourite franchises are getting new 2D platformers that feel like more than just throwbacks so close together.

Though I do wonder if Nintendo realised what they unleashed by having Mario turn into a furry AND bulk up. Trust me, I’m on Twitter, so I know. It has already begun…👀

Overall, I liked what I saw even if it wasn’t really a mind blowing direct. Wonder will definitely do the job of a big holiday release and Pikmin 4 looks great. But it seems like this year had a few REALLY big Switch releases but is otherwise going to be quiet. We might well be in that new console transition phase. In particular Metroid Prime 4’s absence makes me more confident that that game will be skipping the Switch and releasing on a new system. But hey, remains to be seen…

Thanks for tagging me @imaniascending ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

• Tea, coffee or soda:

Coffee for energy and Tea for feeling better. I try to avoid Soda because it has enough sugar to murder a Victorian child.

• Dogs or cats?

I love both but cats are my favorite. Throughout my entire tumblr run "cats" has been my most popular tag no matter what else I was obsessed with(yes even during my mitski phase that made me the second blog that showed up when you searched for mitski). I love that they can be capricious and finicky like people. I think that gives them a wide range of personalities and that's very charming to me. I'm also 90% sure I have that germ that they give you to make you love them and I'm fine with that.

• Can you play a music instrument?: Does shaking the tambourines in church(when I used to go) confidently yet incompetently count? I also know like half of a song on Kalimba.

• What’s your star sign?:

No U-turns

• First lyric that pops up in your head: "Pussy talented; it do cartwheels" from Pussy Talk by City Girls feat. Doja Cat

• Do you have any tattoos?:

Nah and my interests change too much for me to ever pin down something I want painted on my body forever.

• What’s the last film you watched?:

Live action: "Nope" . Thematically amazing and it had a very strong start but it did lose some of its edge when they revealed the true nature of the horror they were facing. I think about different things from this movie a lot and I haven't fully processed all of them yet. I highly recommend it.

Animated: "Constantine: City of Demons". It was very meh. Not a lot of magic from the main character and I didn't really find any of the themes original or interesting. I was hoping this movie would give me more insight to Constantine as a DC character but he just seems boring and british tbh. I don't recommend it.

• What languages do you speak?: English and Jamaican Creole.

• Do you have hobbies?:

Outside of media consumption and media interpretation, I'm a writer(allegedly haha) and I hangout with friends when it's safe to.

• You can hang out with a fictional character for one hour, who do you choose?:

Bayonetta Beta 1(the one from Japan). Her very short appearance in the third game screams "I love to have fun"(she's dressed like a rollerskater and her weapon is a yoyo). To be fair, hanging out with any version of Bayonetta would probably be fun but she just seems the most fun. Like we'd go interdimensional rollerskating or something🛼

Compliment yourself:

You're cute and doing an excellent job of pacing yourself and knowing your limits💕🫂

[angelicyoongie]

(this is...uh...idk how to differentiate myself, the anon that needed to switch tabs to be sure who was which person. rolls off the tongue. 💀)

IN FAIRNESS my actual first encounter with bts was learning the dance to I Need U back in 2015 (my bones are turning to dust as I realize that was eight years ago. I am agèd.). I know a lot of their songs I just... didn't confidently know all of their names until stumbling onto lovesick lmao. I definitely know more about lovesick/abundance lore than I do bts though so y'all aren't really wrong lol *makes an angelicyoongie lightstick and starts chanting*

(continuing from the last one, still don't have a name) but also my favourites even before were yoongi and jimin (I even knew their names, thank you I'll accept my prize for my incredible accomplishment) so being like, "a c*p???? contemporary dance boy is a c*p?????" was a significantly harder pill to swallow than him being a catboy. Love a catboy. And you made them both catboys!!! What a time to be alive. Also now that I watched a couple of run btses (ty for the rec) they do all seem very sweet. The idea that there are people that base their conception of real people's personalities on yandere fanfic freaks me out though. Anyway, hope you're having a wonderful day! 💛💛💛

hi friend!! i'm terrible at names so if someone has a suggestion, please drop it in a comment below lol!

there's no way 2015 was eight years ago, i simply refuse to believe it 💀 but you've known about them for a long time then! that's fair though, i've read fanfics from other fandoms while having NO idea what the characters look like lmao. sdjsk that sounds absolutely crazy to me considering i'm six years deep into the fandom, but we all have to start somewhere i guess!! lol thank you 😭

you DO deserve a gold star for that! two even!!

ya know what ... yeah, jimin being a catboy is honestly more believable than him being a cop 💀 hell yeah!! yoonmin are catboys down to their very core so how could i not write them as such 🤧

yay, i'm glad you've been enjoying it so far!! i really love the waterpark episodes (83-85), though they might be a little chaotic to follow if you're not too confident in connecting their faces and names yet! i'm right there with you – some people really shouldn't be reading these types of stories when they struggle to separate fiction from reality.

thank you so much, i hope you have a lovely day too!! 💖💖

[spiteless-xo]

hiiiii tiff my love <333 okay firstly, i LOVE the new chapter, it was so gratifying to finally hear from sasha AND to see her own up to her wrongdoings and apologize.

i do have a quick question- why does reader feel so attached to the golden trio? like i know they've been friends for a long time, but it seems like she's almost indebted to them, and i don't think they befriended her at a particularly bad time in her life/have been extraordinary, over-the-top perfect friends?? i just don't understand why she forgives all of them so easily, constantly

any tea u can spill is greatly appreciated, already biting my fingers in anticipation of next week!!!! <3333

ooo, thank you for asking!! this is definitely underdeveloped in the story itself, but i have a lot of thoughts on this so i appreciate the opportunity to talk🥰

tbaw ramblings

when reader moved to paradis from her old school, she didn't have any friends and was overwhelmed by the new workload. her first friend was sasha, who she sat next to in class one day and who invited her to the Halloween party.

at the point, eren and jean were still friends so the golden trio were part of a larger friend group. so in the Halloween chapter, sasha talks a lot about reader "meeting the others" because back then, they were also friends with eren, armin, the other hockey guys and whoever else. but she doesn't end up meeting anyone at that party except for csj

but literally a week or two after that party is when jean finds out that his girlfriend in marley is cheating on him and then he has that big fight with eren, ending their friendship and splitting up the friendgroup.

the golden trio are already really cliquey. i can't remember if this is in tbaw or i cut it out, but eren makes a comment to jean during one of the flashbacks that whenever they try to bring someone new into the group, they don't last. this is because the golden trio are such good friends that it's hard to break into that.

so when jean and eren stop being friends, the golden trio/core four become even more cliquey, especially because jean is mad about eren's threats to make a move on reader.

the core four do EVERYTHING together, and i don't think that's emphasized enough in the story. mostly because of jean's guilt about his fight with eren, but the core four ends up isolating themselves away from others until it's JUST the four of them.

armin used to tutor jean and the other players on the hockey team, but after the fight jean ONLY went to reader for tutoring. they have movie nights every weekend. and even now they live together!

connie, sasha, and jean are the only friends that reader has. at least until she started working at titan.

i think i have to stop there before i say too much, but i hope that answers your questions!!

[radellama]

C, G, U, Z for the vg asks (can't believe I forgot to send any)

also (if you want) N and O, but you can't repeat what you said last time

C: Least Favorite Game of all time?

I've played a lot of crappy games, but I think it'd be a tie between chrono cross and aragami 2. I find it pretty funny that I dislike them for similar reasons- the core of what irritates me the most is that with the increased scope, they throw away any connection or continuity from the game they're apparently sequels to. Both could be fine, or even great games on their own (aragami 2 would need a massive bug and performance patch tho lol) but they failed in their job as sequels for me. That's what makes them hurt more, the clinging onto the brand name despite clearly not wanting to continue with the expectations of that identity 😔

G: What’re you currently playing?

Very slowly playing Bowser's Inside Story on my DS, but I haven't played it in a bit... And Re4 with you >:)

Hoping to start up one of the games I reeeeeaaaaaalllllyyyyyyy wanted to play this year but haven't had the chance to yet, but idk what I'll play. I miss my PS4 😭

U: Favorite Handheld title?

If we're going by sheer numbers, it'd be Tetris ultimate LMAO. I play that the most on my 3DS >:)

But, for a real answer... I might have to say Minish Cap. I really love that game, and the aesthetic of the toon style worked really well in pixel art form here! It was a nice story to play, and I was fascinated with the puzzles that revolved around the gimmick of being small haha. It's very cute, and I had so much fun playing it over and over as a kid

Z: Game character you most associate with?

Associate with what lol. This is weirdly worded, so I'm going to interpret it as a character I personally feel connected with - and that'd be frog from chrono trigger 🐸

I can relate to a lot of things he's going through and how he presents himself, and I admire a lot about him. Even tho Magus is my fave, frog is close behind, and I even made a little frog from these weird bead thingies to keep on my desk during high school as an encouragement charm (among others hehe)

N: Favorite protagonist?

Claire Redfield. She's just a super cool lady, I like how she's very proactive (didn't hear from her brother for a while, decided to come up and see what's going on), she's very clever and resourceful (basically everything in all the games, but especially Code Veronica), and she's able to think quickly and stay calm under pressure (her taking care of Sherry during the Raccoon City incident, and her taking care of Moira in Revelations 2- even going as far as adapting how she worked with Moira so she didn't have to use a gun as she was uncomfortable using one).

I also really like how she's not an action hero type where she's super into the action guns-a-blazing on the battlefield, she takes a much more humanitarian approach and wants to help continue the kind of work her brother does by working with organisations that help the recovery and rebuilding after the fact. It's unfortunate that she was kinda butchered and not given a chance to shine that way in the animated movies/show, because we already have basically the rest of the resi protag group to take care of the action hero archetype. I really appreciate that she's obviously taken her brother's teachings of combat and weaponry training to heart, and can step up when the situation calls for it, I'd just love to see her more where her passions seem to be where she's working with Terrasave and such.

O: Favorite antagonist?

Albert Wesker. He's got an iconic look with the sunnies, and the whole black leather thing going on. He's a double crosser, develops a god complex, and he's a little bit goofy.

He starts off a lot more suave and collected, only letting his ego slip through when he's let himself get caught and reveals that he's been a double crosser all along. There's not much textually (in the remake, but especially not the og lol) about how harrowing that must be- but I like thinking about how fucked it is that you literally trusted this man as your superior for AGES just to have him use that trust as he leads you to your deaths in order to collect combat data for the enemy.

After that point, he lets go if any pretence and just leans fully into the superiority complex he has and working in the shadows to get what he wants. In all honesty, he goes so completely off the rails that his ideas/motives as a villain don't make any sense, which betrays the supposed intellect he's got, however it does illustrate how far off the rails he's gone and how highly he thinks of himself. I like the early stages (re1-cv kinda era) where it's grounded, but still a little bit goofy. I still wanna write a prequel series about how he was inducted into Umbrella lmao

hi again princess ><

we have the perfect age gap actually! if you don’t mind me asking, why you still can’t get your own cat? do you have allergic?

what type of birthday surprises do you usually made? i usually bake cookies, bread or cake for my friends’ birthday! they do enjoy those thankfully

then i will wish for your birthday next year! let’s have fun on tumblr until next year >< your brother is so thoughtful, thumbs up for him. (nah you are not delusional, perhaps jake is the one who told your brother about the perfume 😉)

i don’t really ask for gifts but my family are very observant. my mom bought me a new phone during my birthday last year because my storage was always full (and i got a good result for my exam), i have a brother too! he gave me a camera after i mentioned it once while we were window shopping in a camera store. my closest friend gave me a long letter (i love letters) and she asked everyone in school (my batch) to write what they like about me and wish me a happy birthday. so i have a lot of letters from everyone and i really happy and shocked. i never noticed her did that because i’m always with her 24/7. definitely one of my core memories

did i talk too much? i got carried away 🤣 also what is your favourite song from romance untold album preview? mine is hundred broken hearts!

hai again ㅋㅋ

no it's because i have a big family ᵎ i have my two parents n 4 brothers living in a more or less mall apartment so getting a cat wouldn't be the best for the animal :( but the first thing i'll do when i'll live alone is to get one > <

i usually plan a huge hang out in paris w the bday person favorites, we eat luch n i make sure we have a picnic to show the gifts >< we also just get pics taken ᵎᵎ i also give privately love letters ^.^

please bake me cookies ~~ i love them sm n clearly it seems u're a good baker >< yes ᵎᵎ let's stay together for a long time >< would u like an emoji ?ᩚ <3

you have such lovely family n friends, i hope you cherish them a lot ^^ you jsut be so loved too ᵎᵎ i'm really happi to hear it >0<

no u didn't rambled too munch ᵎ i'm happi u felt free to say this much <3 by far i like your eyes only the most ᵎ thank you for asking bby <3 will you/ did you buy any album version for this cb ?ᩚ

ranking games ive played in 2023:

hi! its that time of the year where i think back on the games and shows ive done this year and rank them based on personal enjoyment :-) i didnt play a lot of games this year, since i played all of them (ok all but one of them) for longer than usual.

and, as always, thank u gifmakers for making the gifs im including here and for all the work u do 💛

7. death end re;quest (2019)

bad game. couldnt finish it. what the back of the box said is not even close to the game’s actual vibe. combat system seems interesting but the rest of the story and characters and writing and design and visuals suck so bad it tanks the whole thing.

6. guilty gear xx ^ core plus r (2012)

…ive learned i just dont enjoy playing fighting games this year. i tried so hard. i want to like them. i just dont love them enough to get thru all of the stories in this game. its fun enough to get to learn all the characters, but needing to play so many of them so well to get it all…puts this game near the bottom of the list. this is the first game in my life ive ever watched someone else do a playthrough of, because i just didnt enjoy playing it enough to do it myself

5. guilty gear strive (2021)

as mentioned i dont love fighting games HOWEVER this one ranks significantly higher because i like the training modes where you complete specific challenges, and the game's visual appealing enough to make up for how bad i am at it.

4. ys ix: monstrum nox (2021)

ive decided to make it it december tradition to play an ys game, after playing ys viii last year. i’m still not finished it (in chapter 6 at time of writing) but it’s really fun! navigating the city with each character’s powers is super fun, and as with the last game i really enjoy the combat system. theres a few twists in the game i’m REALLY excited to figure out, and the cast of characters has charmed me enough to rank this number 4

3. tales of arise: beyond the dawn (2023)

i went back and replayed the main game in preparation for the DLC, so i put about 170 hours into this this year. both the main game and the DLC have some story issues, but the DLC does a better job of getting its points across. if it werent for how much i love the top games in this list, this would be first — i'm a total sucker for the tales games, and the gameplay in this one is so fun (im a law main) that i could keep playing this game over and over again. i also really like what the DLC did with the alphen/shionne storyline, and i think nazamil is a very interesting and well-portrayed character.

2. octopath traveler ii (2023)

octopath my beloved… i was already destined to love this since the first game is one of my all time favourites, but the sequel improved on it in so many ways. the crossed path stories, the in-combat party banter, and the interaction the characters have is a huge improvement on the first. as always, its extremely fun to play, the environment is gorgeous, the characters are well written, and the soundtrack is genuinely the best game soundtrack i've ever heard (along with the first octopath's soundtrack).

1. fire emblem: three houses (2019) and fire emblem warriors: three hopes (2022)

these two get to tie because theyre functionally the same game to me, since i value the characters and story more than the gameplay. these games have spoiled me for other games what the fuck. the huge cast of well done characters all with unique skills and gameplay elements. the different versions of the story based on your house. the replayability. i played each of these THREE TIMES THROUGH this year.

Hi, I'm not sure if your requests are open. I was wondering if could do Jiho doing pole dances with Johnny for JCC. How would Doyoung and the rest of NCT react?

hi anonie! requests are pretty much always open although I never really mention it anywhere ^^ I didn't exactly know how to format this so it'll be a mix of a writing + a reaction post. I hope u enjoy it and thanks for the request, love <3

Today is pole dancing!🕺🏼✨ | Johnny’s Communication Center (JCC) Ep.31

“Hey, guys, welcome to another episode of JCC,” Johnny greets the camera. “Today, we're here to experience a new thing, with this pole and,” he drags out the last word before turning the camera to JiHo, who's standing behind him. “I’m also babysitting this weirdo today.”

Johnny laughs as JiHo gives him an offended look; her features twisting in an almost unflattering maner. “I can leave if you want me to,” she offers and all that the older one can do is laugh louder. JiHo then faces the camera, holding it steady so it can focus on her face, “oppa is just scared that I’ll be better than him and embarrass him.”

“Yeah no,” Johnny points the camera at his face again, “that’s the last thing I’m worried about.”

The two members then meet the instructor and she gives a little intro of the class as well as teaching both of them how to climb the pole. Johnny goes first and JiHo watches him carefully with an impressed look. “Wow, you’re doing so good,” she compliments along with the teacher. Soon enough it is her turn.

“Have you ever done this before?” the teacher asks and JiHo shakes her head from side to side. “You seem like you’ll do great though,” she says as she helps the idol with her grips. “I’ve seen your videos, you seem like a great athlete.”

“Athlete?” JiHo chuckles sheepishly at the compliment. “I don’t know about that.”

However, JiHo seems to contradict herself quite quickly as she easily hoists herself up on the pole with great technique. Johnny and the teacher are a bit baffled at first, but Johnny quickly adds, “I don’t think there’s anything JiHo’s bad at so this shouldn’t surprise me that much.” He laughs as he says this and JiHo just shakes her head in embarrassment.

“Well, then let’s make it a bit harder today, since you are both doing so well,” the teacher comments, making the two idols look at each other in shock.

“If I walk away with bruises today, it’s your fault,” Johnny whispers at JiHo threateningly, but of course he’s just playing around. The teacher grins amused before they continue on.

The two idols continue their lesson, having a lot of fun in the process. JiHo continuously spurs the teacher on to make things more difficult for Johnny, laughing whenever Johnny gets tired or is in (non-serious) pain. On the other hand, both Johnny and the teacher have fun when challenging JiHo’s flexibility and core strength. They chuckle whenever JiHo’s twisted in upside-down positions, while she complains about her muscles twitching or her hands giving out — but besides that she does amazing.

“I'm tired,” JiHo sighs exaggeratedly, perching herself against the wall. “Teacher, you really enjoyed making us suffer right?”

The teacher laughs but doesn’t deny the statement, causing the other to laugh as well. “You both did amazing today! I’m really impressed.”

“Who was better?” Johnny asks with a playful glint and JiHo quickly stands up at the sound of the question. “The loser buys the other one dinner?” He asks JiHo and she smirks.

“Well, prepare to buy me dinner at that fancy Italian place I like,” she retaliates but Johnny snorts in amusement.

“You wish.” He turns back to the teacher. “So who is it?”

The teacher thinks about it for a second before giving her answer. “JiHo looked a bit more stable and effortless—”

“HAH!” JiHo cheers pointing at Johnny.

“BUT!” Quickly, JiHo’s smile falls as the teacher speaks again. A grin starts forming on Johnny’s lips. “Although he complained a bit, Johnny did do a few more advanced positions and he tried his hardest. So I think Johnny wins, but I do think you, JiHo, could do better than him.”

JiHo purses her lips in a mixture of shame and defeat while Johnny laughs and cheers proudly. “You heard that! Dinner’s on you!” The older points at JiHo playfully — almost childishly — as he celebrates his victory.

The two then thank the teacher before finishing off the video. “Thank you oppa, for inviting me today. I had a lot of fun, and it’s been a little while since we tried a new sport together. We actually used to do it more often, but we got a bit busy.” Johnny nods along to JiHo’s words. “Also thank you JOHFAM for having me, I guess,” JiHo giggled, earning a dad-smile from her older friend. “I hope you enjoyed the video and happy new year!”

“Bye, bye JOHFAM, peace!” Johnny waves.

The boys’ reaction (only NCT 127):

Doyoung was shocked at first, not knowing JiHo and Johnny had planned to film the content together. But as he watched the video his initial shock definitely subsided immensely. Of course he felt a bit unsure about JiHo doing such a sport out of all of them, worried about how some people watching it might sexualise JiHo. She showed a very different more feminine side of herself, and with her wearing only shorts and a cropped tank top, it seemed like a valid worry. But he also knew most people are decent human beings and wouldn’t think like that. Doyoung would definitely be impressed by JiHo’s abilities though and he also enjoyed seeing the banter between his two friends.

“You guys seemed to have a lot of fun during that JCC video,” Doyoung casually brought up and immediately Johnny and JiHo shared a playful glint. “What?” “Are you jealous you weren’t invited?” JiHo smirked, earning a scowl from the boy. “No that isn’t it, he’s just being a protective brother,” Johnny said smugly and Doyoung immediately denied it. “Sure, let’s act like I haven’t seen you report those comments about JiHo on the video.” “What comments?” JiHo asked, innocently. Both boys didn’t answer her question though, as Doyoung glared at Johnny who seemed to enjoy it with a smirk on his lips.

Taeil, Jungwoo, Jaehyun and Yuta are 100% cheering JiHo on. They make playful comments about JiHo being all grown up and doing more “sexy” things, but it’s all in good fun (and to mess with Doyoung and Taeyong a bit). JiHo has done more sexy concepts with NCT than this video, since the pole dancing was more just impressive things and a showcase of her strength and flexibility. So they think that any concern about the video is useless.

“Our little girl is all grown up!” he yelled out causing JiHo to roll her eyes. “I can’t believe she’s gone pole dancing. You haven’t signed up for regular classes, have you?” “Oppa stop, can we not talk about this while having dinner?” she asked with a small smile, knowing that the boy was just joking around. “If you did though, I don’t think Czennie would mind,” he added quickly with a smirk.

Taeyong was way more nervous about the video than he wants/tries to let on. Of course he doesn’t have a problem with JiHo pole dancing and he also thought it was impressive and cool, but like Doyoung he was very concerned about the reaction. He was a bit too focused on fans’ thoughts and it showed. Spending a few hours just reading reactions, and getting angry when he found that one-in-a-thousand comment mentioning JiHo’s body or something inappropriate.

“Stop looking at the comments,” Johnny laughed as soon as he saw Taeyong scroll down the comments of the video again. “I just need to make sure people aren’t saying—” “People will say stuff regardless,” Johnny closed the YouTube tab on Taeyong’s pc. “Ignore it,” he told the leader, who had become a pouty mess but nodded.

Mark and Haechan are a bit flustered when they see the video on their feed for the first time. They are wary going into it, but as they watch it they are very impressed, again reminded that JiHo is indeed very strong and athletic (and also really pretty even while doing sports). They both don’t say much after having watched the video, but when it’s brought up they do show how proud and impressed they were (but like… lowkey).

“Have you seen the video with Johnny and JiHo?” He nodded as he was asked the question. “Yeah, Johnny hyung and JiHo are really good at different sports. I couldn’t do anything like that haha,” he chuckled a bit awkwardly, not knowing how to react.

S/N: I would've done all of NCT's reactions, but since I did combine it with the writing of the episode, I didn't want to make this too long. I hope that's fine <3

Hi! I love your work and I’ve been binging it for a while! <3 I was wondering if I could have some angst and a broken heart since it seems I like to suffer. ;’) Can I have headcannon with an insecure adventurer reader who’s in a relationship with one of the Mondstadt boys (or just the dark night because I’m down bad since he didn’t come home). They are insecure because while they are a great adventurer, ever since the traveler came, they’ve been living in the traveler’s shadow with everyone, even possibly the readers lover, praising the traveler. The reader takes on increasingly difficult missions, even putting their life on the line since they feel as though they have to prove themselves. In an attempt to stop the reader, the Mondstadt boys tell the reader that they aren’t the traveler, but instead of the good intent behind it, the reader takes it as if their lover prefers the traveler and decides to try and give up adventuring since they realized that not once did their lover go on an adventure with them, but they did with the Traveler. This was long, I’m sorry, but feel free to reject it! Stay safe and healthy!

hey!!! a few little notes: i ended up going with just diluc and instead of hcs, i wrote a little one-shot. i hope you enjoy it and i hope i nailed your idea lol <3 enjoy! (requests are open)  also: u will pull diluc!!! and thank u for ur support :3

before reading: 1.8k words, little mentions of blood but nothing graphic, kinda angsty w feelings of despair (tw?? idk), under cut for length

The first time you realized you had fallen into Lumine’s shadow is when your weekly commissions are given to her. Jean didn’t give you much explanation when she sent you home for the day but you could only assume it’s because Lumine could do them better

The second time is when you were absent for a weekend to clear out Hiluchurls from Wolvendome and when you returned back to Mondstadt to share the news, everyone was preoccupied helping Lumine find her brother.

The third time is when, despite your tireless efforts to protect your hometown this year, Lumine was chosen as the Windblume Star.

You had gone from the Knights of Favonius' greatest knight to a mere shadow. Your accomplishments and achievements felt like nothing when compared to Lumine’s and you became desperate to be known again. You watched your teammates pick Lumine over you, choosing to accompany her on adventures, and your friends constantly chatting about how amazing she was.

And, well, she was.

Lumine was beautiful. She was delicate and soft and fought gracefully, while you often came home covered in dirt or blood. And she was kind - so, so kind. She offered her hand to you on multiple occasions, never once seeing you as the threat you saw her as. And beyond her looks, Lumine was passionate and strong and everything you were not. She had everything you had and more except for one thing.

Diluc.

But when you saw Lumine sitting at the bar in the tavern, sharing a daring story with your boyfriend, you became doubtful.

From your seat on the second level of the tavern, you had a perfect view of the pair. Diluc looked happy - perhaps even happier than with you - and your heart broke. Would Lumine be the end of an era between you and Diluc? You loved Diluc to death and all you wanted was for him to be happy.

The truth was, you were running out of patience, running out of fake enthusiasm and fake laughs and fake smiles when Diluc bragged to you about what Lumine did that day. The constant praises and compliments towards a woman who wasn’t even in the room tore you apart bit-by-bit. You were finding it harder to get through each day as Diluc slipped through your fingers.

When you finally broke your silence, you talked to Kaeya.

It was an accidental breakdown - Kaeya had made a cheeky comment about how his brother was spending an awfully lot of time with the traveler and you just broke down. Realizing the severity of the situation, Kaeya pulled you into his office and closed the door. He let you sit at his desk until you calmed down.

“What’s going on?”

So, you told him. You finally let out the bottled up despair and, frankly, jealousy you had been holding in for the past few weeks. You told Kaeya about how you went from ‘hero to zero’ and how you didn’t even deserve to be a knight anymore.

“If I’m not a knight, I don’t have a purpose,” You said solemnly. “I haven’t picked up my sword in a month, Kaeya.”

Kaeya makes a noise of acknowledgement and urges you to continue.

“And I can’t stand how she’s better than me! I’m the Revolutionary Knight - not her!” Despite your angered words, you’re suppressing panic deep in your chest. “She’s already taken so much from me and she’s going to take Diluc.”

“Diluc loves you,” Kaeya reassures you. You’ve never heard his voice this soft and serious before. “Nothing Lumine can do is going to make Diluc ever stop loving you.”

Deep down, you knew that. You knew that Diluc loved you and planned to marry you one day, you knew that. It was just hard to convince your heart of that. As you stared down at the floor, you heard Kaeya sigh.

“Maybe you just need to show him you’re just as good at Lumine.”

That night, you packed a bag before Diluc got home from the tavern and left for Liyue. You would fight the Cryo Regisvine and bring back Diluc a hoarfrost core. He would see your heroic nature and forget all about Lumine - they all would.

***

When Diluc came home that night to find your absence, he began to worry. You were never one to leave without saying anything so Diluc rushed to the Knight’s Headquarters quickly. He was fortunate that Jean and Kaeya were still there finalizing some paperwork.

“Master Diluc?” Jean asked, rising from her desk as Diluc rushed inside her office. “Is everything alright?”

“Y/N is missing,” He said quickly.

“Missing? Are you sure?”

“Yes! They never go anywhere without telling me,” Diluc continued. He noticed Kaeya avert his gaze and snapped his eyes over to his brother, “Kaeya, what do you know?”

“I may have told them to do something heroic to win you back,” Kaeya said, realizing his idea may not have been the best.

Diluc’s eyes widened, “Win me back?”

Kaeya sighed and explained what was going on with you. Diluc’s heart dropped into his stomach and he couldn’t believe how stupid he had been. He should have been praising you, not Lumine. “They mentioned something about the Cryo Regisvine-”

Diluc didn’t let Kaeya speak another word before he took off. You couldn’t have gotten that far and when Diluc noticed the darkening weather, his feet picked up their pace.

***

A fierce gust of wind made you cover your face with your arms. Out of nowhere, it started pouring rain but you wouldn’t let that stop you. You pushed through the impending storm and made your way down into the cave where the ice monster lived. You gripped your sword tightly as the monster sensed your presence and unraveled, turning the downcoming rain into shards of ice that landed on your skin like needles.

Without much delay, you charged the Cryo Regisvine and landed three hits on its corolla before one of its leafy arms wacked into you, sending you hurdling backwards. Your sword was knocked out of your hand and you struggled to catch your breath.

More sharp icicles pierced your skin and a spray of freezing air coated your skin. Yet, you still managed to grab your sword and stand. Your hobbled toward the monster again and when the same leafy arm came towards you, you slashed at it.

The monster let out a screech and retracted itself before slamming it’s head down towards your body. You dodged the first hit but were caught off guard when the second hit knocked you off your feet. You barely had time to roll away when it slammed it’s head down a third time.

“Y/N!”

Diluc surged forwards, grabbing your arm and forcefully pulling you to your feet. Your sword became lost from your hold and the sudden movement caused the blade to scrape down your leg before clambering to the ground again. A nasty gash was left and you seethed.

He couldn’t even think as he pulled you away from the monster. You had never seen Diluc move so fast. He didn’t let you go until you were both far enough from the cave to feel secure. Diluc’s arms wrapped around your shoulders tightly and you were too stunned to say anything.

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

Your mind felt foggy. You tried to open your mouth and speak but no words came out.

“Do you realize how dangerous that was?”

“I just...Lumine…”

Diluc pulled back at this and stared in your eyes. You couldn’t quite match the emotion on his face. “You’re not Lumine!”

His words cut deep and you felt tears soak your eyes. Maybe if your head was clearer and you could actually hear your thoughts, you would have realized Diluc didn’t mean it that way. But the only thing consuming your mind was that he was right. You weren’t Lumine and you would never be Lumine. “I know!” You cried out suddenly, “That’s why I have to go and kill that thing! So I can give you a hoarfrost core and you’ll love me again!”

Diluc only looked at you. His hands ran down from your shoulders to your hands and he brought your left hand to his lips. You heard him sigh before kissing your knuckle gently.

Your wet hair was dripping water down your face in freezing cold droplets. At that moment you felt useless. You weren’t able to fight the Cryo Regisvine and bring Diluc a hoarfrost core. He would leave you for Lumine and there was nothing you could do about it.

“You’re hurt,” Diluc said, motioning to your leg. In your desolate state, you had forgotten about the gaping wound on your leg that was pouring blood. “Come on - we’re going home.”

You were too upset to protest and let Diluc maneuver your body onto his back. You loosely wrapped your arms around his neck and relished in the warmth his vision released. You held onto Diluc like it was the last time you ever would.

The walk back to Mondstadt was silent and when you two arrived at your shared house, Diluc let you down on the couch. You could only stare at your lap.

“I’m sorry,” You finally mumbled, “Next time I’ll finish what I started.”

“There won’t be a next time,” Diluc said sternly, “No way you’re ever going there alone again.”

Your face stiffened into annoyance. “I’m the Revolutionary Knight - I can do it.”

“No, you can’t.” His words seemed cold and unusual but they were coated in concern. Diluc reached up and cupped your face with his large hands. You tried to pull away but his grip was firm, “It’s okay.”

The situation was suddenly overwhelming and far too much to deal with. The tears you had been holding back tumbled down your cheeks and your words were choked between sobs, “Lumine is so perfect and I’m not...I don’t want you to leave me...I know I’m not good enough but-”

He stopped your rambling with a kiss. “Don’t ever think you’re not good enough,” He whispered, taking you into his arms. You hid your sobs in Diluc’s chest as he whispered sweet nothings into your ear. Eventually, your cries settled.

Diluc spent the rest of the night dressing your wound and laying with you in your bed. He didn’t stop comforting you until every horrible thought about yourself was gone from your mind. In the morning he would talk to you more but for now, his job was to make you feel strong again.

And it would take a while but one day you would come to realize that you were just as good as Lumine and no one could truly compare to you. Like the storm on that horrifying night, this too would pass.
