fish commission post 3: the 3rd one
hi updating my comm info because my style's changed a lot, and with more commissions under my belt i know what people actually do and dont want to see me draw
that being said, rather than a variety of different style options, im lumping everything under 1 option, with the understanding that the price will vary greatly depending on complexity.
based on the examples below, the cheapest price would be $30 (4th image), and the most expensive would be $60 (5th and 6th images). generally anything you ask me to do won't be under $25, unless it's really simple and/or not colored.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
however this doesnt mean ill refuse to do anything else! if there's something simpler like just a sketch, or even more complicated like a full rendered piece, dm me and we can work out a price!
Will Draw:
anthro
character reference sheets
artistic nudity
moderate gore
backgrounds
ocs
real people (that you know)
pets and animals
machinery (limited complexity)
simple backgrounds
ship art
Will Not Draw:
sexual content
overly complex backgrounds (cityscapes, detailed nature environment, etc)
very elaborate machinery
if there's something that doesn't appear on either of these lists that you're curious about, please ask!
i accept paypal and venmo primarily, but if you really can't use either of those dm me and we'll work something out! my standard practice is to ask for half the money up front, and the second half after the piece is finished*. depending on how busy i am, turnaround is anything from same-day to a couple weeks (sorry!) but i will send you periodic updates on how the piece is going and ask for any feeedback. please dont be afraid to ask me to redraw something if you don't like it, i'm always happy to!
*if the piece costs less than $25 i dont bother with this, you can just pay the whole thing after its finished

Me vs my struggles of How To Digitalise Paintings (Important Lesson Learned: don’t let the A4 ones get so wavy and then they’re actually scannable!)
But I’ve been having a blast trying my hands at watercolour outside of class lately, and here’s my first two messy attempts at that! An A3 of Vision that’s going on my wall later, and an A4 test with Ooze to see how well I can add colour pencils to the mix after drying (Pretty well! Definitely gonna be working with that again)

random headcanons i have for each om! character teehee
hi it's been a while since ive posted some hcs bc uni has been kicking my a$$! luckily i only have a few papers to tidy up and im done. here r some hcs for each obey me character that ive accumulated over the past few months wink wonk
most are random but some constants you'll find are what i think they smell like, languages they can speak (other than their native (demon/angel) and eng/jp), and music tastes !
lucifer
i have a strong feeling that he showers twice a day: in the morning after waking up and at night before going to bed
his cologne is probably the type that will last in an elevator for like a week after he uses it once. i dont think this mf ever smells like anything other than his cologne
has a secret folder on his phone of semi-nudes and other scandalous pics from when he felt sexy at the time omg
aside from demon language/eng/jp he can speak french and knows latin
listens to classical stuff yea but he also listens to diavolos mixtapes (re: diavolo's section)
not a fan of sweets but will eat sweet things when craving
really bland sense of humor...borderline cringey 😭✋🏻
mammon
has gone to google images and searched for "inspirational quotes tumblr" "gold aesthetic tumblr" & "relatable crush post tumblr" then reposts it onto his socials or just taps thru them and giggles bc he relates
his cologne doesnt last as long as lucifers and probably smells common. he has to reapply a lot but it's a people pleasing smell. it's cheaper hence the constant reapplying
he probably does have an expensive bottle but is the type to totally overspray...eek
he is canonically a car guy 🥲 and probably tells the one in his room good morning & good night + kisses the hood every once in a while. has tons of car magazines
he doesnt really speak other languages but has attempted to learn spanish before
listens to whatever is on the radio. doesnt rly stan anyone but he eventually will listen to mc's playlist and mc's playlist ONLY
levi
lurks on mc's socials ALL THE TIMEEEE like he will rewatch ur stories and scroll thru ur feed and overanalyze ur tweets/rts or blog posts. if ur mc isnt the type to use sns much he still googles ur name all the damn time just to find any sites u might be on fjdjdjdjskks
probably streams on whatever youtube or twitch devildom site equivalent there is, but only has like 40 or so followers. which he is okay with!
until he sees someone else who gets more attention than him. then the envy starts kicking in bad. especially if they suck 🧍🏻‍♀️
classic gamer boy smell. you know, sweat, tears, must, and (sometimes) axe deodorant. lucifer has to do a scent check before he goes out to any event & lets him use his cologne. how sweet!
kpop stan!! more girl groups than anything and his ults are probably GIRLS GENERATION, wonder girls, twice, loona, & red velvet
cried when ioi disbanded and refused to leave his room. the only thing u could hear was downpour on loop at full blast
can also speak korean & communicate in echolocation like dolphins 😏
satan
listens to country music you cant change my mind
smells like whatever environment he is in. he doesnt really have a designated smell just throws some deodorant on and goes about his day.
he's sooooo bad at driving...gets road rage way too often so his license has been REVOKED
but hes totally a backseat driver. needs to be sedated on long trips
do not let him watch finding nemo when luke asks to watch it. it's not worth it. he will cause mass destruction.
if he was a human or lived long term in the human world he totally has the ability to be a doctor
is studying as many languages as possible, but he mostly knows latin & french & german etc etc. wants to learn all the dead languages out of curiousity
asmo
dont think this mf has ever held down a relationship. ever
he doesnt compromise much & is not willing to change his lifestyle to fit an s/o into it. you keep up with how he lives or it just isnt meant to be (but dont worry! he'll eventually learn...maybe,,,,)
has the hardest time out of everyone when it comes to breaking bad habits
his smell varies bc he uses a variety of perfumes (whatever is the most popular at the time) but he probably sticks to floral and fresh scents. he never uses generic people pleaser scents like mammon
listens to electropop, mainstream pop, & some alternative rock
as for languages he too knows french, spanish, italian, etc. in general, if it's a romance language he knows it!
opposite of lucifer in the sense where he loves sweets and will refrain from eating too many bitter things
i think we all know that asmo is the biggest rockstar of the group! he's probably been in a boy band at least once, but now he makes his own music
has tried to teach mammon how to sing once. ended up in a broken piano and bleeding ears...
beel
i feel like he is SO SHY
like unless ur close to him he will not start conversations or anything
i think he listens to r&b a lot ! and jazz 😎 maybe rock as well
smells like ur typical athlete with undertones of wet wipes. he carries them around bc he likes to clean his hands before he eats & is prepared for when theres no sink nearby
he can drive and he drives really well. no rough turns, parallel parks perfectly, and never has problems with merging
driving with beel is probably really soothing. left hand is steering the other is gripping ur thigh 😫
dont think hes really fluent in any other language but hes probably semi fluent in korean because levi wanted beel to help him out
definitely know how to order food in practically every language tho HAHAHA
belphie
he reminds me of randall from monsters inc
smells kinda musty IM SORRY but not the way levi does hes more like the kind of musty u feel or smell when it's a shitty morning
but that's only because hes so lazy, when he cleans up hes like satan
has definitely murdered multiple people before. mc is not the first 😐✋🏻
with that being said belphie has been put into prison at least twice when visiting the human world, the mf had such a strong hatred for humans theres no way he never got into trouble before
lucifer probably broke him out and they used the pen thingies from men in black to erase everyones memory of that 🙄
dont think he listens to anything other than music that'll put him to sleep. really likes lazy song by bruno mars but thinks that bruno mars put too much effort into the song. should have been one acapella verse and then finish
similar to beel hes only semi fluent in one language, probably french bc of lucifer. doesnt remember much but knows a couple of lullabies and bedtime stories
the sandman used to be his bff until they drifted. they do, however, like and comment on each other's sns posts.
diavolo
once he found out who nicki minaj was he became her #1 stan
def an ariana grande stan too 😌
choreographs dances when hes stressed...idk just seems like a diavolo thing to do
also makes rly bad soundcloud rap music sometimes. turns to poetry when hes feeling emo but only lucifer knows this. barbatos is suspicious of him but doesnt have enough evidence to confirm.
his dad is like hudson abadeer from adventure time aka marceline's dad? something must have influenced him to want to unite the 3 realms + he would need the approval to do so, so his dad must be more chill than all the others before him 🧍🏻‍♀️ IDK ok anyway
currently going through his hamilton phase bc of mc. whether mc's intent was to get him hooked onto it or just to explain it bc of something he saw online, he tells everyone that he found out abt it bc of mc!
this man cannot drive his skills are only second to jumin han
not too fond of many languages but knows the widely spoken ones like spanish, mandarin, etc. if it's taught in high school he knows it
smells like a las vegas casino. not sure why but i feel like he does. but there's also an interesting & nice smell to him if he embraces you. it's a smell you cant quite identify. but it smells nostalgic, it's mysterious, and it's tempting.
barbatos
very calm demeanor but underneath hes WILD hes probably done everything at least once oof
he just has a lot of control and stability over himself (must be nice!)
on a more angsty note i feel like he might have had his heartbroken sO BAD IDK he is hurting and maybe that's why hes so willing to obey diavolo and not abuse his time lord power thingies bc he learned his lesson the hard way
mans is so smart he knows every language you could switch languages mid conversation with him and he wouldnt be thrown off. he'd probably start speaking it too.
BUT HE SPEAKS VIET P E R F E C T L Y
listens to the same stuff as lucifer but also likes eminem. likes the movie 8 mile but criticized it heavily
have you ever been to a chinese herb shop? naturally, he smells like that. his room probably smells like it too. he doesnt really have a significant smell like some of the others
when he bakes he smells like whatever hes baking tho
one of the few out of everyone listed to have been able to travel to literally everywhere
solomon
was probably on kitchen nightmares once, but only to get feedback from chef gordon ramsay. then he used his magic to prevent the episode from airing...
was in an orchestra, one of the best times of his life. played the violin. asmo watched him in the audience once, but didnt approach him until well after that performance.
he CANNOT sing. he can, however, rap.
doesnt listen to music. he listens to podcasts! but every now and then he turns on background music, but prefers it to be instrumental stuff
never wears sunglasses. also does not have a driver's license. cannot drive a regular car. could maybe fly an airplane.
due to his immortality he has learned almost every language to exist, but finds himself speaking mandarin the most. knows most dialects too
similar smell to barbatos but u can also smell some sunscreen on him too. like, generic beach day suncreen
he has a lot of pact marks, so he once had the idea to match foundation to his skin. it took him two weeks but he eventually perfected a combination. yes he will help u find ur perfect shade if u ask him to
simeon
another country music man. has also made a tiktok or two to that one song that goes "he cant even bait a hook." they are private tho
angel country music exists and simeon invented it
if he visits the human world and wears more causal clothing he probably tucks his shirt into his pants
wears a speedo at the beach i tell u, speedo at the beach
he can speak german...i can feel it
uses his pointer finger to type and holds the phone like 2 inches away from his face so sometimes his nose will push a key hence all his typos
has no signature smell. he simply smells like your favorite scent all the time. if multiple people are around him at once, everyone smells a different smell. it's pretty rad
"what does he smell like to himself?" u may be asking. hmm...a church? 💀
luke
his first pet was a goldfish and a few months before the exchange program happened, he was given a koi pond!
secretly likes hanging out with levi sometimes just to play with henry. makes him miss his pet fish back home
so his favorite movie is probably finding nemo and he threw a fit when nemo touched the butt
luke is probably learning german bc of simeon, though he'd like to learn more of the dead languages just for fun
i dont think he listens to music often or has any preferences, he just listens to whatever is playing on the radio
but he finds himself listening to the music mc listens to
smells like freshly baked goods all the time. or fresh laundry. but like, not combined. just depends on the day

a superhero au from this ask.
okay so in this au superheroes join different sects as disciples and go through a superhero training program and then if they pass they become official superheroes for the sect
for the most part things stay the same, your good guys go out and defeat evil and save the day but there’s also a bunch of extra stuff bc they’re in a sect
the extra stuff is mostly legal stuff like if you destroy a building in a fight, who pays for it and what happens if a superhero goes rogue, who stops them?
so the sects are good bc they give that security and also make sure things run smoothly, so you don’t end up with three superheroes in the one area
obviously you still have independent superheroes but they usually get picked up by a sect pretty quickly (or join the wens who are just the bad guys i guess but shh they’re hiding it,, badly)
for the most part though, new heroes realise they can’t cut it and quit
notice the most, because there are a few people who don’t, including people like the yiling patriarch 
so, worldbuilding aside, let’s start with lwj
bc we still have sects, lwj and lxc both went through the training program together and even graduated a few years early, meaning they debuted pretty young
they were both way too powerful to actually be needed in the field most of the time so lxc ended up helping his uncle and lwj started teaching at the training program (and even when he is needed, it’s usually enough just to send lxc, so he hasn’t been active in like five years)
life is going pretty okay for lwj but then there’s a fight between some wens and yllz and a building ends up being destroyed - lwj’s apartment building
at first he’s like whatever i’ll just stay at a hotel till it gets fixed but then he gets told that there’s some issue with the building regulations so it’ll be more than a year
lwj goes apartment hunting and ends up finding the perfect apartment. it’s spacious and convenient and looks really nice and the only drawback is his neighbour (spoiler: it’s wwx)
now we have wwx
he used to be a disciple with the jiang sect and was on track to graduate their training program probably even younger than the twin jades but then he dropped out suddenly. no one knows why 
what happened was that wwx had befriended wen ning at an intersect meeting thing where the training heroes could compete against each other 
when wen ning found out the truth about the wens being evil, he begged wen qing to take their family and leave the wens to get to safety. wen qing refused bc who would they go to? who would risk everything they had to keep them safe?
wei wuxian would. 
and he did!! when he found out what the wens had gone through, he immediately quit the jiang sect and spent the next four years helping them go in hiding, making fake identities etc. 
the only people who refused to leave were wen qing and wen ning and a-yuan so wwx was like i’ve done my best now we gotta live and ends up buying an apartment for the four of them and gets a job
at night he goes out as yllz and tries to bring the wens down. it’s slow-going at first and he’s just busting minor crimes and not really gathering any useful information but he keeps going bc a-yuan and the others will never be safe for as long as the wens are able to keep hurting people
he works a full-time job during the day and spends his nights fighting crime and he’s always tired and sore but it’s fine because he needs to do this but then one day his new neighbour moves in next door
the first time he meets him, he’s come back from work and by the time he bakes a welcome cake it’s like 10:40 and he goes over and knocks on his neighbour’s door and the guy eventually answers and holy fuck he’s hot (also grumpy bc lwj does not appreciate being woken up)
lwj slams the door in his face without even taking it from him, so wwx just leaves it on his doorstep and goes back home to nap for a few hours before going on patrol
the next day when he gets home from work there’s a letter in front of his door and when he opens it it just says thanks for the cake it was very delicious if unnecessary
wwx writes on the back: it’s all fine! i’m glad you liked it. if you need any help settling in, i’d be more than happy to help. he adds his phone number and then he leaves the note on lwj’s door and that’s where it all starts
the next morning he wakes up to a text from lwj saying that he appreciates the offer & his name. it’s short and kind of rude but wwx is lying there going lan zhan, lan zhaaaan, his name is lan zhan 
they run into each other in the morning a few times and take the elevator down together and wwx always chatters at him. lwj doesnt really respond but he doesn’t tell him to shut up either so that’s practically permission
and wwx is no idiot. he knows that hot neighbour + texting ability = potential romance so he makes sure to text lwj a lot 
and by a lot, i mean a lot. lwj is sitting in a meeting with his brother and by the time he finishes he has fifty new messages
but that’s okay bc lwj kinda likes the attention he thinks? lwj’s neighbour is funny and cute 
and after a while, lwj starts responding properly. it’s not like he’s sending 50 messages back but he’s engaging wwx in conversation and sometimes they call and once, when wwx was coming back from work, lwj had invited him in for tea
when lwj realises that wwx goes to work early and gets home late he starts inviting wwx over for dinner. wwx doesn’t mention that wen ning is more than able to cook dinner (if he ever mentioned that he was living with him at all) and they start having dinner not-dates and sometimes wwx falls asleep on lwj’s couch
the first few times wwx always felt really guilty bc lwj doesn’t want to put up with that and he’s letting down the wens but wen qing is like no, it’s good, you need to take some time for yourself and lwj is like it’s fine so whatever, wwx can sleep on lwj’s couch now
except it’s not just lwj’s couch bc wwx keeps waking up leaning on lwj and it’s very embarrassing bc he’s starting to find that he has difficulties sleeping without being able to hear lwj’s heartbeat 
so wwx is falling in love. wen ning is supportive and wen qing is probably laughing at him but wwx is so conflicted
on one hand, wwx’s entire life revolves around the wens and trying to stop them or protect them, and here lwj is, a completely normal man, who has no expectations about wwx. he doesn’t need to be a guardian for lwj, he doesn’t need to be the terrifying yiling patriarch, he can just be wwx
on the other hand, lwj is a civilian and wwx doesn’t want to drag lwj down with him and risk him getting hurt or killed
so he decides to stay as friends. he won’t give lwj up but he won’t tell him he loves him (unless something happens to make wwx need to give lwj up, in which case he will)
around this time lwj gets a call from his uncle asking for help with the yllz
he’s never met him before but lwj does not like the yllz 
like yes he’s taking down the wens which probably makes him good but he’s also taking what the wens had stolen for himself
so no one knows whether he’s a villain stealing from the wens or a hero who doesn’t trust the official means
Either way it’s a bad look for lwj & co bc they either look incompetent for not knowing about this guy & not being able to stop him or untrustworthy and maybe even corrupt 
but lqr wants lwj to either bring him in as a disciple or as a criminal. whichever is easier
the first time hanguang-jun shows up to a fight wwx is completely shocked bc he vaguely remembers seeing hanguang-jun fight at the practise matches and he was good, definitely on par with wwx so if hanguang-jun were to fight him he isn’t sure that he’d win. 
wwx quickly finishes off the wens and then turns to lwj, refusing to let his guard down but hanguang-jun just asks what he’s doing
wwx is cagey at first but eventually reveals the truth (or as much as he can tell) and hanguang-jun is like i don’t like your methods but what you’re doing is just, so i’ll help you and so commences the most awkward team up ever
wwx had expected to have to carry most of the weight but hanguang-jun is there defending him and helping him fight the wens and he can’t help but start to trust hanguang-jun.
hanguang-jun blocks a hit meant for wwx and wwx spends like half an hour carefully cleaning the wound on his arm and bandaging it up and at the end he presses a kiss to it and he immediately goes bright red but it’s okay bc hgj’s ear are red too
wwx slips on a roof and hgj ends up catching him and damn he’s strong and the look of concern on his face is almost making wwx think hgj doesn’t hate him
hgj brings in some intel once and wwx automatically goes damn i could kiss you right now and then decides to just become one with the floor
not only that but wwx talks a lot. when he’s patrolling, when he’s fighting, when he’s waiting,, he never shuts up and hanguang-jun listens to him every time and, just as wwx fell for lwj, he starts falling for hanguang-jun
it’s even worse in this case bc hanguang-jun is all righteous and good and here wwx is using the superhero equivalent of demonic cultivation (has he perverted his own powers or did he always have necromancy powers? up to you)
so here wwx is falling in love with hanguang-jun and lwj and he feels terrible about it
there is definitely a case going on in the background but it’s basically just the sunshot campaign if only lwj and wwx were fighting it for the most part
eventually he complains to wq about his feelings and she’s like just try confessing! so the next time he and hanguang-jun team up he tells him that he loves him
 lwj is 100% in love wwx and semi in love with yllz. for the most part, the things he loves about yllz all remind him of wwx so he doesn’t really see it as a crush as much as more yearning for wwx
but lwj is very awkward so he gives this kinda terrible rejection? he’s like im sorry, i don’t return your feelings maybe we should work apart for a while?
from his pov he’s giving yllz room to deal w/ his emotions alone and they’ll team up later but from wwx’s pov hanguang-jun is so disgusted he never wants to work with him again
so they go their separate ways and when wwx gets a tip-off about some weird shit about to go down at nightless city so he sneaks in by himself bc hanguang-jun definitely wouldn’t want to help him and ends up getting captured by wen ruohan
lwj, for his part, is freaking out bc wwx hasn’t responded to his texts in over a week and maybe he’s come on too strong and wwx has figured out his feelings and is letting him down gently? (by disappearing??)
but then wq comes banging on his door and asks to come in. he lets her in and she immediately tells him i know you’re hanguang-jun
lwj is defensive and ready to be blackmailed or something but she just explains that wwx has gone missing and he’d received a tip the day before he disappeared and when lwj sees the message wwx had got he’s just like why is wwx involved with the wens?
because he’s yllz, wen qing tells him and lwj is Buffering
reason 1: yllz wasn’t meant to be someone he liked and lwj had definitely been feeling guilty about the fact that he would need to be brought in bc he is morally dubious on main & he can’t reconcile that with the sweet and kind wwx 
reason 2: holy shit does wwx like me?
bc lwj is a disaster he only ends up asking about the latter and wq stares at him, dead-eyed and exhausted, and tells him wwx is in love with lwj and hanguang-jun
commence lwj’s plan to get wwx back and confess to him and hopefully get married but he’ll be happy if they just kiss and/or hold hands
 he starts off by explaining most of the stuff to his brother who ends up calling jyl (bc they have to be friends, i’ll cry if they’re not) who is like my brother?!! and decides to help. also probably nhs bc friends who share porn definitely save each other from wen ruohan
so they attack the wens. for most of the heroes it’s bc they finally have proof of wen ruohan being evil (helpfully collated in a colour-coordinated binder by wwx) but lwj is just there for wwx
he finds him in the dungeons or something and wwx is hurt kind of badly and lwj collapses beside him and presses down on the main wound, trying to stop the bleeding
and wwx goes hanguang-jun? what are you doing here? and lwj says nothing just pushing down harder bc he’s losing too much blood and wwx is like oh, do you hate me that much that you won’t even speak to me anymore?
lwj can’t bear it for another second and rips his mask off and wwx just gawks at him. lan zhan? you’re hanguang-jun? wwx stammers and lwj just nods and rips some fabric from his cape (would he have a cape?) and tries to bandage the wound
wwx asks him why he’s here, why he bothered to come for wwx when he doesn’t care for him but he passes out before lwj can actually say anything
he wakes up in hospital and lwj is sleeping in the chair beside him and the second wwx twitches he jolts up and stares at wwx with such relief that wwx wants to blush
i love you, lwj says, not waiting for another second. the reason i didnt accept your confession was because i loved you. i didnt know you were yllz 
and wwx is like and i didnt know you were hanguang-jun!! and lwj is like yeah but wen qing did /:
and wwx is like yeah but she’s smart & they kinda fall quiet for a few moments before wwx is like did you know i think hanguang-jun is very handsome and lwj is like yes? and wwx is like good! lwj is also handsome!
and lwj is like yllz and wwx are attractive to me and they finally kiss and it’s not a complete disaster thankfully
after that lwj goes back to his semi-retirement bc he doesn’t need to catch yllz anymore and sometimes wwx comes in to help teach a class with him and they’ll go home to lwj’s apartment after and watch movies together and not once do they comment on the miscommunication between love interests

Audio
EPISODE 32: A MAJOR OCCURANCE
The sound of spooky intro music plays and fades out. As the microphone clicks on, faint sounds of water and traffic can be heard in the background.
JADE: Hello cryptwizzlers, cryptrackers, but never cryptormentors because we’re all friends here. Welcome to a very special episode of Cryptwins in which we are not actually researching a cryptid. But! Before you shut this off and call us hacks, we are instead researching the recent disappearance of social media fitness guru; Edison Major.
More spooky music plays. There is also the sound of fingers tapping a rhythm. It's typical Joel, unable to contain his energy as he taps the dashboard in time with their intro music.
JOEL: Weeeeeeeell...Maybe we are hacks. —a pause as he laughs— Nah, just kidding. This is the real deal. I'm not sure you're ready for this. This is some spooky, and excuse my French, spooky shit. Tell us more about this Major disappearance? —another laugh— Get it?
JADE: [A short laugh-sigh is let out at Joel’s joke.] Okay, before we begin, two things. One, get ready for the barrage of major and minor jokes, courtesy of Joel here.
JOEL: Got a whole list, be ready! He lets Jade finish, but listeners can still hear the tapping sound while she speaks.
JADE: Secondly, we’re still on the road here, so if the audio is bad or choppy... deal with it? —another small laugh— Anyyyyway. Spooky is right. This all began in September of last year, when @majored posted a picture of himself in a dark basement wearing a weird costume and then immediately went off the grid. And, you know, I’m all for a social media cleanse, people do it all the time. Buuut, what really brought this to our attention was a month later, on Halloween Eve of all nights, when a video popped up of him getting his ass kicked by someone in a Kakashi Hatake costume.
JOEL: Now, I know y'all are asking yourselves "Isn't he a fitness guru? Why was some weeb kickin' his ass?" And to that I say hey! Some weebs are strong, some are Super Saiyan, and others are Kakashi Hatake, the most talented ninja in Konohagukure.
JADE: lets out a laughing wheeze.
JOEL: We don't endorse fighting here. But I digress —a laugh— back on topic. So this guy just up and disappears out of nowhere? And there's not a peep of him until we see Kakashi givin’ him the business. What does this all mean?
JADE: Okay, so, let’s get the full story. @majored goes off the grid, comes back to get his ass kicked by a Naruto character, disappears again, comes back to spit on someone and call them a see you next Tuesday, and then disappears again. And he hasn’t come back online. So what’s up with that? Well... we did a little digging.
Another spooky noise plays over the sound of Jade organizing a stack of papers.
JOEL: Daaaaaaang. I’d say those are some fightin' words, especially from someone who keeps pulling a vanishing act, don’t ya think?
JADE: They really are! I mean, he is from New Zealand, but even so, I think you don’t use that word unless you want to attract some attention. -She clicks her tongue as she gets back on topic- The video was originally posted the night before Halloween of last year, by @ime.are on Twitter. Obviously they got a lot of hate and questions after posting this, but all of them were left unanswered. The only person in the video that was tagged was Major, but upon further examination, this Ime seems to follow and have pictures with someone who happened to be dressed as Kakashi that same night, which has led many to speculate that these ninjas are the same person.
JOEL: So we all know Halloween's a spooooky season. Perfect for parties and all that jazz. But all those costumes make it a perfect time for disguises. Was that even the real Major? Was the person who spit the real Major? Who is this Ime and how do they fit into the story? And who— a pause for dramatic effect and muffled laughter as he tries to stay serious— is this mystery ninja? Tell us more!
JADE: Alright, alright. So this mystery ninja goes by Abel, or @_kllledbycain on the Gram. At first glance, they look pretty much like every other TikTok e-boy; black and white photos, pet snake, the insinuation that they’re dead, whole nine yards.
JOEL: snorts when Jade announces their handle, and again at her eboy comment, wheezing. It's true, it's true!
JADE: And this stuff is so common right now, so nothing really raises any eyebrows, right? Right? Well, tell me, why would a Tik Tok goth go around beating the crap out of a random influencer? Stay tuned for the theory. First, we’re gonna take a step back and look at the whole situation, because, of course, it doesn’t end there.
JOEL: Ohhhh snap! I'm on the edge of my seat, and I bet our listeners are too.
JADE: [clears her throat] So if we go back to the original poster of the video, @ime.are, and we take a look at their Insta, who is on it but... @devinitely? Okay, so @devinitely is in the same place as @majored, clearly, and, for anyone that doesn’t know, she’s been doing a bunch of collabs with @loganvance. This places not one, not two, but three influencers all together in this place where weebs are running around assaulting people.
JOEL: Okay. Okay, I need to know! Where are they? What's bringing all these influencers together? Are @devinitely and @loganvance part of something much more sinister than it seems? [He makes a funny face at Jade and wiggles his fingers, before dropping his voice to a stage-whisper.] Is it some kind of twisted influencer cult?
JADE: Shhhh, Joel, spoilers.
JOEL: [He laughs.] Sorry, sorry!
JADE: [muffled laughter over the sound of more papers rustling.] So, any skeptics out there might say, oh, well, this Ime Are is just a lucky person who happens to be in the presence of more than one social media personality. However, Devin follows the weeb that may or may not have kicked Major's ass. And, according to a cast photo of Rocky Horror, on her boyfriend's Instagram, both the weeb in question and the hot man that tore the two apart were part of the cast. This would be a great time to mention that a link to the video is in the description, as are all the pictures from social media that I'm referencing.
JOEL: [to Jade but loud enough for the mic to pick it up at regular volume] Oh snap, you got everything together in a link? Like, I could click the link to check it out right now? — A pause as he does just that.— Woah, cryptwizzlers, she's not kidding. Click the link in bio, you won't be disappointed. Okay, Jade...hear me out. Given that it was Halloween, the night of nights. Do you think that...maybe it was all an elaborate event? Was it staged? Is any of this real?
JADE: Oh, my dear brother, always the skeptic. Don’t you think that it’s a bit much for him to stop posting entirely in order to get publicity? And we mustn’t forget the spitting on someone in South Dakota, that’s not exactly his brand. Unless he’s trying out something like Taylor Swift and Reputation but... I digress. No, I don’t think any of this is staged, and I’ll tell you why. Let’s go back to the weird cow print basement post. You know who also happened to post something about some cowboy party? Oh, um, Devin’s boyfriend? A picture of him, Devin, and Logan? Which... puts them and Major in the same place on the night that he disappeared.
JOEL: Not a skeptic! Just trying to get all these questions answered. —A laugh— You're right, that's 180 from the online presence he used to have. All theories aside, —a pause— I'd love to go to a cowboy party. Get me a glow-in-the-dark cowboy hat. You know they make 'em. —He laughs again, mouthing 'what?' to Jade.—
JADE: Oh, def. We're getting matching hats. Check out our merch in a few weeks —she laughs— Glow in the dark mothman themed cowboy hats, talk about a niche.
JOEL: Snap, we have to do that now, 'cause I want one real bad. But okay, back on track. This cowboy party. The origin of this theory, yeah? Oh snap...what were those three doing in the same place as Major? And all in cow print too? That's....majorly suspicious! [He trails off into laughter, his voice doing that wheezy thing when someone's trying to finish their sentence before cracking up. Recovering, he adds the following.] Wait, wait, wait. What about—
JADE: Yes, yes, yes. —she cuts Joel off as though he's finished his sentence, chuckling at his joke— Patience, my dear twin, we will get there. —the smile is evident in her voice—
JOEL: I feel like somehow, I ended up as your Padawan for this episode. — he laughs—
JADE: You heard it here, I'm absolutely schooling Joel this episode. — she laughs— First, we're going to backtrack all the way to the original poster again. You know we snooped their whole page, and they're pretty regularly posting pictures with this person, @rengaaay, who isn't an influencer but she makes some of those sick ass roller skating videos... this isn't sus, just cool, link in the description. —a slight pause as she tries to get back to her train of thought— Anyway, what is sus is that she tags two people in her photos all the time... But no joke guys check out their Insta profiles they look different in like every other picture. Which, uh, could just be editing but also could be something.... more sinister? Hold onto that thought.
JOEL: That's such a good handle, dang! Better than @lumberjoel, honestly. I have to say I'm jelly. We should get branded rollerskates, maybe @rengaaay can advertise for us if we ship them. JK...unless? —more laughter as he waits for Jade to get back on the train and pulls up the profiles in question to take a look for himself— Huh...is it editing? Are they masters of disguise? Makeup professionals? —He starts to say something else but is pretty sure he's figured out where Jade's going with this.— What could be more sinister than human chameleons?
JADE: [The sound of papers shuffling can be heard] Oh, yeah, so, it's weird but I think every time the siblings are in a pic together they look more like each other? I dunno if this really makes sense but seriously dudes check the post with this episode because it has a bunch of photos side by side and... yeah. You pull a photo of them by themself and it's like okay, I know what this dude looks like and then you put them side by side and... I dunno, makeup? Contacts? Cloning, mayhaps? And, just so that I'm not just holding on to one thing too much... check their post from August 12th, linked below. Their brother... doesn't have a shadow. Why would you edit that out of a photo? No way are they going that hard to be memelords.
JOEL: Okay, let me look at this. Wha— That's weird as hell. How much hair dye do these two use? Hm. Could be clones? —snaps his fingers—Definitely clones. —he snorts loudly, laughing before clearing his throat— Ahem, uh. No shadow? That's dedication! I dunno, maybe it's some new challenge for the 'gram. Oh...but wait. I found a video. Look, Jade. No shadow. In a video. What the—
JADE: A video, guys. —A moment of muffled laughter before her mic cuts out, but the sound of it clicking on again is followed almost immediately— This is a big family, guys, and a big weird one because their other brother @sleepyfinch... Okay, wait, he himself is pretty normal, super cute, shout out, but guys, ghouls, you know who he has tagged in a recent post? Yet another influencer. Except this one is from Italy? @gaborealis; essentially, he’s a medium, so if you didn’t believe that the supernatural were at play beforehand... buckle up.
JOEL: Wait, wait, I'm still on the video thing. Who has time to edit a video? —his voice cracks when he says video and he covers his laughter as he focuses—
JADE: [wheezing] Shut up —there is no malice in her voice, and she’s laughing too.—
JOEL: So weird, I love it. Oh snap— the @gaborealis? It's time to get ghosty! —echoes "ghosty" and hums the Cha Cha Slide tune for a couple seconds— Okay, so wait. Does this mean everyone's favorite medium is also in the same place as...three? Three other influencers and this weird family of....maybe shapeshifters? No? Too crazy a theory?
JADE: You know what they say, cryptoddlers; no theory is too crazy. Everything Einstein came up with? Theory.
JOEL: Bringing Einstein into it, huh?
JADE: Oh you know it. —a snort— Anyway, according to Devin’s boyfriend’s Instagram, it doesn’t end there. @spencerkeahi, a youtuber and disability rights advocate who comes from Hawaii is also there with that gaggle. Shout out to @elidrising for tagging people and location. So what are these influencers from all corners of the globe gathering together for? Well, let’s take a look at the original poster again. You go on their Twitter, and a few months back it’s all just videos of people... fighting? In some sort of underground place. Mayhaps... the same creepy basement that Major posted his last photo? —a small gasp, as though she’s surprised by this— No, that must be a coincidence... or is it?
Another spooky sound plays
JOEL: @elidrising is the man, dang! Are you tellin' me there's a...—he lowers his voice to a whisper— secret influencers-only Fight Club? I wouldn't put it past @devinitely TBH. Honestly, I'd join one...even though I guess I've broken the first rule but talking about it, huh? Actually— Jay, do you think we'd even be allowed to join? Are podcasters influencers? Poll in my story right now, let us know what y'all think.
JADE: Right now? Joel, this isn’t going up for another week, at least. —She’s obviously trying to sound less amused than she’s coming off— Once we get the blue check we’re influencers, so we’ve got a few million followers to go, I think.
JOEL: Yeah, right now! They'll hear that when the episode goes up and respond in real ti— Oh, no. You're right. Oops. No poll in my story, y'all. False alarm. Blue check, huh? You heard it here, cryptwizzlers, we're gonna get that blue check. Tell your friends, tell your family. Heck, tell that cute barista at your coffee shop to listen to our podcast! We might just do a giveaway when we get that lil' blue swoosh.
JADE: [clears her throat.] You know what’s a great way to get us that blue check, though?
A different, light sort of spooky music begins playing in the background, meaning that it’s time for the ad break
JOEL: Take it away!
JADE: Checking out a little app called Creature Comforts. Alright guys, not that this show isn’t one hundred percent real as it is, but for real, I love this app. A dating sim that features everyone’s favorite... for lack of a better term, monsters. Did you watch the Shape of Water and go, “Damn, I’d tap that”? Do you want to snuggle with a Sasquatch? Do you just wish you could find yourself a GF with more eyes? Well, have we got the app for you. Creature Comforts lets you do all this and more. A choose-your-own-adventure game where you can smooch beasts, marry Mothman, and ignore the outside world. It’s seriously all I want. And, if you enter the code cryptwins— that’s the name of the podcast you’re listening to, no capital letters, when you download the app, then it’s only 99 cents to play without ads. Which, trust me ghouls, is worth it. I don’t want anything interrupting my cut scene with the most stunning eyes in West Virginia.
JOEL: Don't forget that scuba diving date with Nessie! Or, or...that half-day hike with Bigfoot. —he's laughing again smh— There's a reason Jade does the ad reads and not me. But, I can tell you that Mothman is sure to sweep you off your feet. And it's not just because he can fly.
JADE: It’s the —a pause for finger snapping— alliteration for me. But that’s Creature Comforts, exactly how you think you’d spell it, don’t ask us ‘cause we’re dyslexic, and cryptwins, like the name of this podcast. Tweet us @cryptwins to let us know how far along you are, who you’re pursuing, and what mysteries you unlock about their backstories. Now... I think it’s time for a timeline, just to get us sorted out, what do you think, Joel?
JOEL: Personally, I'm still tryin' to land a date with the Creature from the Black Lagoon. I guess we'll see what happens. Aw heck yeah! Give us a timeline, give us the dirt. — a laugh — Give the people what they want!
JADE: Okay — the shuffling of paper is heard once more — We start in September: @majored goes off the grid after posting a creepy picture of himself in a weird outfit in a spooky basement. This is around the same time that the Scarlet Surfer was in NYC for fashion week, which @majored accompanied him to, meaning that it isn’t entirely out of the question for him to still be in New York. Also on social media at this time is @devinitely and @loganvance also both is cowboy outfits, though the creepy basement is absent from both of them.
JOEL: I guess September isn't too early for weird Halloween stuff to start? What with the spooky basement and everything. Right? And everyone loves a cowboy moment— or have cowboys become the new clown? I heard there was a clown renaissance and people like them now? I don't really know where we stand on the whole clown— what?
JADE: I see our next hot debate. Cowboys: Hot or not? Personally, I liked cow print, but I can see cowboys going out soon. Once they reach killer clown status is when it’ll be ideal for me.
JOEL: Personally, I vote hot. And uhhh, not to kinkshame you Jay, but killer clowns are a no from me.
JADE: [tsks] Kinkshamed, by my own brother no less.
JOEL: [a loud laugh] You know I'm just kidding. No kinkshaking, ya heard? I'd literally let the Jersey Devil step on me so. To each their own.
JADE: [snorting] Um, gross.
JADE: Now to October: There is a production of Rocky Horror, a cast photo is uploaded to @elidrising, the account of @devinitely’s boyfriend. This places not only @devinitely and @loganvance in Montauk, but it also places @crispyboiz and @_kllledbycain in Montauk too. These are two of the people that are suspected to belong in the video by @ime.are, in which (suspected) @_kllledbycain, dressed as Kakashi Hatake attacked @majored, only to be torn apart by good citizen @crispyboiz. This video is the first that we’ve seen of @majored since his last post, and he offers nothing in response to it.
JOEL: Okay. Okay. Now, you know I love a good shadow-cast of Rocky Horror. I've always wanted to play Frank. I would rock that part. Am I wrong? —he laughs— But okay, that's - count 'em - three influencers in one place? If @elidrising is there, we can assume @devinitely is too because she was in the same location as, uh, whatshername? Logan? And that's the same location as @ime.are. Who took the video of  Kakashi kicking @majored's ass. @_kllledbycain— more like killedbyKakashi, eh? Seriously why are all these people together?
JOEL: [as an afterthought] It's gotta be a cult.
JADE: November to December: Nothing happens with @majored, @ime.are also offers nothing except for quote unquote “#teamkakashi”, which is funny because they never tagged Kakashi, but anyways. Upon deeper inspection, there are videos on their Twitter from last May, of people in a fighting ring. And then people fighting on a lake? But the fighting ring looks super dangerous and I dunno, like you said, cult-y? Fight-club-y? Call it what you will. In any case, we are led to believe that this fighting has been going on for some time in the background.
JOEL: Okay, come on. That’s definitely a cult. I’ve seen the movie, can confirm. — he groans— Literally what is an Italian astrologer doing there? Wait, wait, wait. Montauk? You said Montauk. Montauk, as in on Long Island. As in like —he drops his voice to a stage-whisper— the part of Long Island that peeps believe to be the site of a government cover-up involving kidnapping, mind control, and time travel? The part that inspired Stranger Things? That Montauk? Snap. I can’t believe I didn’t put two and two together sooner. Jade, Jade. What if this is, I don’t know, like, MKUltra 2.0?
JADE: Yes, yes that Montauk, I’m glad you picked up on that. Look, I’m not saying that it’s an influencer’s-only thing, but I am saying that some might be in the area, and maybe involved. At the same time throughout all of this, we have a culmination of more influencers seeming to know this network of people. @gaborealis, an Italian astrologer, is seen in pictures of @sleepyfinch, who was also in the production of Rocky Horror, and has pictures with @crispyboiz and, god, this name is a freaking nightmare, @_kllledbycain. Not to mention this guy has many pictures of weird… family members? Who sometimes look alike? Okay, but seriously, @kodakola and @sonofpeter, how is your hair not straw at this point? Is it wigs? I think my hair would simply fall out. And y’all using Insta filters or what, cause… I’m not gonna get into it, let’s keep going.
JOEL: Maybe they're makeup vloggers or something. Gotta change up the look for views, right? Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe and uhhhh, smash that follow button— or whatever YouTubers say. —he laughs— Okay but seriously, yeah. @sonofpeter, @kodakola, whatever you two are doing to your hair, let me know because I'm trying to bleach my hair and dye it bright purple without it falling out. And since we're doing it at our next stop, well, your advice will probably be too late. But still, what are your secrets? Is it...clones?
JADE: Joel! —she’s laughing again.— Timeline and then theories. —she clears her throat— After that long silence, a Tweet emerges. January 8th. "Can’t believe @majored SPAT on me and called me a C-Blank-Blank-T when he checked into @SDFamilyMotel last night”. This places Major across the country from where we believed him to be, but acting so strangely that one must wonder… was that really him? Or was it someone that just looked like him? Or was it a cry for help? Nothing’s been heard since from @majored, which I guess… leads us to our theories. —a pause— You were saying… clones, Joel?
JOEL: Sheeeeesh, this is not @majored's year. I gotta say, this sounds totally different from the vibe that this guy used to put out on his social media. Obviously Instagram is fake blah blah blah, you know the spiel, but like. Damn. He spit on them? —a pause as he considers what his sibling has said— You know....I think that's a really good point. Was that even the real him? Will the real Ed Major please stand up?
JADE: I know. It just seems out of character, and terrible for a reputation, but it also would make sense if... One, this is a fake @majored, meant to stir up controversy before he goes underground again. And with an action like spitting on someone and calling them a name like that? Who cares what the dude does after that? Unfollowed, cancelled, whatever. And why would this guy want to go underground, well, I'm glad you're so interested. Well, the official Cryptwins theory is that maybe... just maybe, the crazy, government cover-up Montauk that we all know and love isn't that far from truth. We see that they have means of covering up shadows —she lets out a laugh— and people whose faces just change? And who else is there, @spencerkeahi, someone who explains rehabilitation, maybe someone who has experience helping people get used to being a clone? @ime.are, a nurse who enjoys taking videos of people fighting? It all adds up, people!
JOEL: Yeah, seriously. With the real @majored MIA, there would be no one to combat the backlash from this supposed...clone? Imposter? And maybe that’s what they want. Looks like Montauk isn’t the ideal vacation spot anymore, huh? Even if their seaside cabins are super chill and homey. But I digress. Something sinister is going on. Something bigger than we can even imagine. A secret underground facility that’s...cloning influencers? Training them? Your guess is as good as mine. And that’s why we’re on this road trip, isn’t that right Jade? To get some answers?
JADE: Exactly. —it sounds as though she is holding back a laugh or a cough.— Cross country roadtrip in which we explore different topics like this one, and on the way, we'll document our progress and any spooky encounters. Check out our insta, @cryptwins to get all the updates, and consider hitting us up on Patreon if you want us to be able to afford the gas to get all the way to the east coast.
JOEL: I’ll be posting behind the scenes content in the “ROADTRIP” highlight on my Insta throughout the trip so be sure to check my stories. You might get lucky and find some special codes for Creature Comforts but, hey. You didn’t hear it from me. -he laughs and there’s the distinct sound of a bag of chips being opened- What Jade meant to say is gas and snack money. So yeah, go go go! Check out the Patreon! We might even do a giveaway at the end of our trip, get you guys some cool souvenirs we pick up on our travels. Not a bad idea, eh?
JADE: Joel, my ears are literally bleeding right now. Thanks. Anyway, our second theory will also be exclusive to our Patrons, so be sure to get the full video there. Cryptwins... out...
Her voice fades out and the music from the beginning fades in, takes over, and plays until the end of the track.

COMMISSIONS: 2019 EDITION
i quit my job earlier this year and it has done WONDERS for my mental health but it does mean im relying on commissions for money to buy stuff to live while im at uni, so, here we go! i’ve altered prices a little and updated my examples as always!  IM/Ask/Discord me to grab a slot! 
everything helps out, thank you!! and boosts are always appreciated too<3
if you can’t afford a commission but still wanna help out, i have a ko-fi !!
extra details & terms under the cut: 
i’m perfectly happy drawing suggestive things or mild gore, but probably nothing more than that. you’re welcome to ask, though!
all payments will be through paypal, and you can contact me through IMs, asks or on discord at kiliick#7377. payment will be asked for before the commission is started-though i am willing to do half upfront, half after sketch is shown if this suits you better. i will not do payment after the commission is completed
please keep conversion fees in mind if you’re not from the UK!!!
i’ll draw fantrolls, canon characters, furries, animals, ocs, anything really, just ask!
slots will be limited to 4 at a time and on this page of my blog, but this post will be reblogged whenever a slot is opened
commissions belong to you once completed, and you can edit them as you wish! i just ask you do not claim it as your own and credit me! and of course, don’t add any hateful/harmful imagery to a commission. 
i’ll send you the sketch of a commission once completed, and you’re welcome to ask for revisions at this stage [within reason!]. i will not do revisions [other than colours] after this unless you are willing to pay extra. 
i can add a small colour, gradient, or pattern background to any commission free of charge
if there is something you’ve seen on my blog that you like and isn’t offered here, message me! i’m flexible and will do pretty much anything, we’ll just need to figure out the pricing!
it is within my rights to refuse a commission if the subject makes me uncomfortable.
TALKSPRITE SPECIFIC 
BY DEFAULT, TALKSPRITES WILL BE FLAT COLOUR like these ones !! this is a recent change to make talksprites cheaper and faster. if you want full shading like my old style of talksprites, this is what the shading/rendering option is for!
if you want something to be removable on the sprite [e.g jewellery, part of clothing etc.] please let me know and i’ll be happy to do it! it may add a few dollars if this is a large thing, however
you can customise your talksprite however you like, and i’m willing to negotiate prices! please don’t be afraid to ask for me to add extra parts or customisation to your sprite, i want you to be happy with the final product!
i can lower prices a bit if many add ons are purchased and the final price is looking a bit daunting. [within reason, of course]
a talksprite of an adopt purchased from me will get a £5/$7 discount from the final price!
if you later decide you’d like extra features/expressions added to a finished sprite, please feel free to ask! but bear in mind I cannot change certain things easily, and i would prefer it if you let me know in advance that you plan to purchase other parts in the future! this is so i can make sure i arrange the sprite correctly to accommodate the extra parts

my favorite quotes from give me silence
ch. 1:  Let her rephrase, a very pretty Muggle girl named Eloise Mary Howard. --- It should be noted that Lydia was mentally compiling her will. --- Arthur Weasley was running towards her, dressed in some combination of a pantsuit and clown costume. --- Immediately, they covered the pranking product they’d been working on with a quilt, this catching it on fire. --- The twins snapped their gazes to each other, then jumped up and grasped hands. They jumped, the wooden floor thudding beneath them. By the time they had finished cheering and jumping, Mrs. Weasley had hollered at them twice, Percy yelled four times, and Lydia was blushing. --- Fred set his chin in his hand. “Tell us everything .” --- “Ginny! You don’t knock on strangers’ doors!” --- (Yes, Colin did get a photo of Neville licking a napkin, stress written on his face. It was hilarious.) --- “You’re the oldest of us, which means you’re the responsible ones.” The twins looked horrified at the idea, and Lydia laughed herself silly. --- Even though it was so cute and honestly, the fur would be cheaper to knit than yarn was - that is to say, on the way back home Chio had already shed enough for them each to have a handful of fur. --- Neville had glitter on his eyebrows, and he was attempting to blink it away from his eyes, face contorting in funny ways. Chio’s fur was doused in blue and purple glitter. Lydia herself had glitter in a smattering of multicolored freckles across her nose and cheeks.  ---
ch. 2:  “If you need me to pick the liquor cabinet’s lock I know how.” --- Mrs. Weasley sighed. “Did they break a window?”  “Uh...We fixed it?”
---
Where Lydia came from, albeit not a traditional family, you learned knife tricks and pressure points to incapacitate someone.
---
“I know. We just never see eye to eye.”
 “No one can meet your eye, you’re too tall.”
---
 “Have good, British dreams, Lydia.”
---
But we’re not...not that.”
 “Of course not, she’s only thirteen. But dear, perhaps you should acknowledge that you fancy her. Merlin knows we all noticed.”
---
It was, quite frankly, concerning. Was this a heart attack?
---
Fred was chuckling, the prat. “Just glad to see you, his brain cells have given up. Wait a minute.”
---
Was she seriously apologizing for a hug? What?
---
“Merlin, I miss you. It was so boring with all the boys. I think I lost some estrogen.”
---
 “Lydia, love, you look like a pixie.”
---
ch.3:
She had wanted to stay behind and ask a few questions, maybe pull out her pocket knife, the usual sort of thing, when she noticed Neville struggle to stand, shaking like a fucking tree branch during a tornado.
---
“Neville, I would make God bleed for you.”
---
Were they twice her size? Yes. Would she still rip them a new one? Absolutely.
---
What right did a little kid with blood in her teeth and something called an ele-friend have to her heart?
---
Madam Pomfrey was smiling at her. Lydia didn’t like it.
---
Sighing, Madam Pomfrey faced Lydia again. “As you were deflecting?”
---
It was a nice painting, surprisingly well done. Lydia’s face was in the foreground, getting smacked in the face by Natalie’s wand, while the girl herself was cheering in the background. The blood on her face was surprisingly realistic. Up in the top left corner, Natalie’s attackers were out cold, various painted injuries littering their bodies.
Lydia felt strangely warm.
---
Lydia beamed. “It’s more like insane. To be stupid you have to have brains. Luckily, I left mine in the dorm today.”
---
 “You called her Minnie.”
Lydia quickly realized her mistake.
 “N-No, I didn’t!”
 “You did,” they sang, “You called her Minnie! We’re rubbing off on you!”
---
Poppy smiled and thus began their weekly gossip. She did so love this child. If only she could tell her.
---
ch. 4:
As with every other Halloween, really the day must be cursed, things go to shit.
---
That does beg the question, why are magical people so determined to risk their lives? Is it a universal thing?
---
Was it petty? Absolutely. Had she gotten caught yet? Of course not, who did you take her for, Parkinson?
---
Harry shrieked like a mandrake, and Lydia quickly sent a spell to silence him.
---
“You. You’re a girl.”
She raised her eyebrow at the log-turned-Sirius-Black. “And you’re not a dog anymore. I’m glad we’ve established that.”
---
He paled a little at her smile, and stepped backwards. “I’ll uh, I got nothing. Oh, look, Sirius! Let’s shift focus to him.”
---
Something seemed to click. “So you’re the kid that sent me a letter with threats.”
---
“First of all, you’re terribly hard to kill, Harry,” Lydia sighed, shifting to sit more directly in front of the fire, “Secondly, think about this. There’s a couple hundred more students than normal, and everyone thinks the kids underage are safe, because why would Dumbledore’s magic ever be faulty? There’s a fourteen year old kid, he looks pretty defenseless, especially now that he’s been lulled into a false sense of security. He probably thinks he’s safe, with the age spell and loads more people that could protect him if Voldemort gets inside Hogwarts again. This would be the perfect time to strike - lots of people to blame, a tournament that could be found at fault, and an old man’s magic coincidentally not working. I’m just saying, if someone’s been after you for awhile and hasn’t succeeded...now’s the time.”
Sirius chuckled nervously. “You’re not a Slytherin are you?”
---
“Are they being mean again?”
 “Who’s they? I don’t know anyone named They. What a weird name, They-”
---
Aria sighed and flopped onto a space between the bridge’s arch where there was a bench. Colin grabbed her elbow so she didn’t do something stupid like fall through. That had to be a safety hazard, right? Was there no safety inspector for Hogwarts?
---
It seems like Ginny was going to get to try out that new boils curse she’d just learnt after all.
---
It was very hard being a Triwizard contestant. Well, that was kind of a lie, and Cedric didn’t lie. Unless it was to tell his dad he was excited for a Ministry job, that is.
---
There were downsides to being a Triwizard Champion too, of course.
-There’s barely any time for friends.
-No alone time.
-Mum cries whenever she sees you, you’re not sure if she’s proud or scared.
-There’s potential for trauma, but hey, it’s writing material.
-You could die or be seriously injured. You’re trying not to think about that.
-The other Hogwarts champion was entered without their own free will and now might be getting bullied and you feel overwhelmed with the guilt.
---
“Cut ‘im some slack, Lyn. He’s got so much to worry about. His adoring fans, for example.”
---
She slugged his arm. “Don’t get smart with me, your job is to be pretty. It’s Lydia’s job to be smart.”
---
George nodded at the three Hufflepuffs. “Pretty Boy, Pretty Boy’s friends.”
---
 “I stand by what I said, purple glitter jazzes up my comforter.”
---
 “Lydia, how are we gonna get down six floors?”
Lydia snorted. “Prayer, Colin. I’m personally praying to Yoshi.”
---
“You know you need the sleep, young lady. Now, fret until ten o’clock.”
As Madam Pomfrey left, covering the snoozing Colin with a blanket, she heard a mutter. “I don’t fret.”
---
ch. 5:
Heidi glared, picking up her cup full of ice cubes and popping one into her mouth with a loud crunch.
---
“Might as well break the rules for a good cause, right?”
---
Ginny gasped. “Oh no, am I gay? I feel gay.”
---
George is running away from the Durmstrang students, and I should go save him before he gets mauled. I told him not to charm their hair and skin orange, but he didn’t listen.
---
Oh, is that Hermione sounding disappointed? Surprising.
---
Glancing to where Alicia and Katie had been flirting all afternoon, she winked.
---
“I set the books to become inanimate again when he apologized to Hermione.”  “He, ah, refused to until blood started dripping into his socks.”
---
“he won’t let me go with Priscilla.”
Ginny leaned across the table. “You mean Lee’s tarantula?”
Lee nodded. “Match made in heaven, I say. But you know how it is, star crossed lovers and all.”
Ginny blinked very slowly for a moment and then left for the Ravenclaw table, shaking her head. 
---
 “Our little snake.”
 “Already sneaking around the rules at such a young age.”
 “I’m fifteen! ”
 “Our little-”
 “-tiny baby rebel. My, how they grow up.”
 “Just yesterday you were learning manipulation. And now, you’re sneaking into a dance.”
---
Finally, George said, “What’s the solution? I’m begging you Lydia, help me.”
She stared him in the face and said, “Aren’t beggars usually on their knees?”
---
 “New plan, because you’re as graceful as Hagrid’s skrewts.”
---
“This is your karma for that idiotic stunt with the dragon.”
 “Are you ever letting that go?”
 “I will when you stop flirting with Death.”
 “I don’t flirt, I tease. There’s a difference.”
---
“Hey Freddie, do you think your mum would be upset if I told her I want to drop out?”
 “Do you?”
 “Kind of. We could get a head start on that joke shop of yours.”
 “With what money?”
She shrugged, finally tearing her gaze back to his. “I guess how all poor people get money - struggling. It's just...I want to be with you and George, where nobody else matters.”
---
ch. 6:
She hoped Luna liked the earrings made from orange skins, it seemed her style and had made Lydia’s fingers sting when juice seeped into a few paper cuts.
---
Ginny barely gave her finger guns before she was sprinting.
---
“Is that allowed?”
 “Probably not,” Colin admitted, then shrugged. “But since when do we adhere to those silly things?”
---
 “Hi, you’re that scary snow white girl Colin’s always talking about, right?”
---
“Ready to piss off some purebloods?”
Ginny grinned like she had just hexed someone. “Oh Lydia. I was born to piss of purebloods.”
---
The night hasn’t gone devastatingly wrong as of yet, and Lydia supposes that’s all she could expect without sacrificing her soul or something.
---
Lydia briefly wonders if she’s just doomed Hogwarts to a fate of destruction. She figures it will be fine. Probably. Maybe.
---
A loud bell rings over the music, startling the band so badly a tambourine gets thrown and hits Professor Snape in his hooked nose.
---
Lydia cuffed his shoulder. “I know damn well your mum didn’t raise you to ignore a beautiful girl, Ron Weasley!”
---
They were all rushed to bed as soon as they got back to the Burrow, the car having malfunctioned and it already being near dawn by time Mr. Weasley learned they were accidentally in the Netherlands rather than England. (How that happened Lydia didn’t know. She’d fallen asleep against George’s shoulder after the fifth hour driving.)
---
She pauses in her unwrapping a little, and she mentally screams.
Look, she’s paranoid and mind reading is possible.
---
  ‘No way!’
 ‘Shut up.’
 ‘How come you fancy him and not me?’
 ‘Shut up!’
---
She began to mentally sing. ‘LA LA LA LA.’
---
ch. 7:
George had the big mouth, and often didn’t bother listening. It was as if he had one functioning ear, and he simply didn’t bother to use it.
---
The things he’d seen...it made him want to set something in fire, or smash something. Neither were an option though, as his mum really liked their curtains and dishes, so he stewed in the feeling.
---
This is how she should be - chasing him with giggles and hexes falling from her lips.
---
“ Ced got high and went swimming with his egg so the task is probably something to do with water. “
---
Sirius, honestly, is not having a good day. Or a good thirteen years, really. The things he looks forward to are rats, pets from nice villagers, and seeing his godson.
---
Ron snorted. “You reckon they think we’re all going in the cave to snog - OW, Hermione!”
---
“Your idiot godson - sorry, totally intelligent and not at all stupid godson -
---
Harry is pouting, and it’s the cutest goddamn thing Sirius has ever seen.
---
As Lydia runs to catch up with the other three, Sirius can hear Hermione demanding what the letter said, and Lydia saying, “If I told you I’d have to kill you. May I tell you?”
---
ch. 8:
She didn’t regret it, a little suspicion of authority figures was healthy.
---
“I’m surprised you weren’t born on a broomstick.”
George sighed with faux disapproval. “I wish I’d been.”
---
“No, you’re pretty...uh, good. You’re pretty good. You don’t have any...toothpaste.”
She laughed again, and George prayed for a sinkhole.
---
He fancied Lydia, and he was totally screwed.
Lydia was by his side every day of the year, basically.
She spent summers at the Burrow, save for those in the States, and they went to school together!
Oh Merlin. If his siblings (read: Ginny) found out they’d be insufferable! No. She couldn’t find out.
---
Katie grabbed her arm and pulled Lydia to her own chest, telling Alicia, “Love, time for Bear Protocol.”
Alicia, apparently doing what Bear Protocol meant, kicked Lee. “Bear Protocol. Now.”
Immediately, the debate cut off, and the twins slid close together, blocking anyone seeing Lydia from behind them. Lee did the same from her right side, and the three Chaser girls did so on her left.
---
 “Why aren’t you in class - oh goodness, what’s this?” Professor McGonagall, for her part, looked about as alarmed as one could make her.
---
Professor Flitwick simply levitated her and told Professor McGonagall, “Alert her professors she won’t be in lessons today, won’t you? I’m sure Poppy will want to keep her for quite a while.
Professor McGonagall sighed slightly but nodded, mumbling something that said an awful lot like, “Attached much?”
ch. 9:
Fred is pretty sure the detention was just for appearances sake, because when they got to Professor Flitwick’s classroom he had pretended to be disappointed, but when Lydia smiled at him he had smiled back.
They had practiced charms Fred is pretty sure weren’t supposed to be taught unless paid extra Galleons for, and he gave them all snacks.
---
“Madam Pomfrey is currently with someone else. She’ll be available tomorrow, or when she finds time.”
George obviously was strung out, because he snapped, “Get Pomfrey!”
 “Madam-”
 “Pomfrey will make an exception, Lydia isn’t a normal patient.”
 “I really doubt-”
Ginny sneered. “Doubt a little less, or you’re getting boils in places cream can’t reach!”
---
“ Mam .” She cried out, and Madam Pomfrey pulled Lydia forward so the girl could grab onto the woman.
---
And if later on Professor Flitwick found and joined them? Well, no one needed to know.

Soccer team captain JB
GOT7’s JB
Word count: 2100 words
Scenario: From anonymous: “hiiii could you write a JB scenario type with him being the captain of soccer team and y/n being captain of swim team in their high school and both sport teams don’t like each other but they are secretly dating and no one knows thank you”
Genre: AU Scenario, Fluff, Soft, Gender neutral
Little note: This is very long, pardon me... Hope you enjoy it either way! (he kinda looks boyish in that gif, I couldn’t find a better one)
Tumblr media
You’d always loved swimming. Ever since you knew yourself really.
As soon as you had been able to walk and talk properly, your parents had thrown you in a pool and you’d been hooked ever since.
As a child, you were always told how you’d make a great swimmer. You were disciplined, loved being in the water, and were a fast learner. You’d often hear your teacher at the time praise you to your parents. Of course, as young as you were, you didn’t really care. All you wanted was to be in the water.
As you grew up, things got more serious. Especially after you joined your high school swim club and became their captain. The truth was you were always unsure of whether you should be the captain but your teammates and the coach seemed to trust you fully. That trust only made you try harder to be a good teammate and to be a responsible person. Your parents were overjoyed as well.
That day was yet another practice day. You had practice three days a week but had full access to the pool every day.
You had all warmup exercises memorized by now so your coach’s voice was only another sound in the background as you held your elbow above your head, doing a good tricep stretch. That until you started hearing murmurs all around you when your teammates were just quietly doing warmup exercises before.
“They’re so shameless.” You heard from your left.
“Look at them sitting there again.” You heard from behind.
You looked back at your teammate who motioned with her head towards the bleachers when she noticed you had heard her. You allowed your gaze to travel to where she had pointed only to find most of the soccer team lounging comfortably on the benches. You couldn’t help the long sigh that came from deep within as well as the eyeroll.
The soccer club usually had their practices on the same days as the swim club, only they finished practice an hour before you even started. Which gave them more than enough time to shower, drop by the cafeteria, and then head to their lounging spot; the bleachers inside the gym. That would be fine, only you knew for a fact they were there just to annoy your team.
Even before you had become the captain of the swim team, both clubs already had an ongoing grudge. As far as you knew, it was exactly because of this very same behavior.
The soccer club had reclaimed the gym bleachers as their hangout spot a long time ago. Why? Because they could thirst over people in swimsuits after practice.
However, the swim club had reclaimed the field bleachers as their hangout spot. Why? Because they could thirst over people in shorts before practice.
Surely enough, it wasn’t just thirsting that happened during those hangouts.
From both sides, the feeling of annoyance by the other’s presence started to grow and develop, eventually becoming a desire. The desire to annoy the other club became gradually the reason why any of the two would hang out at those two specific spots.
You, however, had never engaged in such behaviors. In fact, you’d never been to neither spots unless it was to gather your team whenever they were running late.
“Ignore them, guys. Focus on the practice,” you told your teammates.
Soon enough you were all being scolded for not keeping your head focused on what you were doing, being this accompanied by some scorning and amused giggles in the distance.
You weren’t known for being a stern leader however, everyone seemed to respect you. As a result, when you shot a glare towards the bleachers, they quieted down for a bit.
 After practice was over, you sent everyone away to the showers, telling them you’d check if everything was in place before you headed there yourself. You’d always do that every time you had practice.
As you were picking up a kickboard off the floor, by the corner of your eye you saw a figure come into the gym and head straight towards the bleachers. You peeked towards the bleachers, a little smile coming to adorn your lips although you couldn’t see anyone. That same smile remained upon your face as you went back to tidying everything up.
When you went into the locker room, you went straight to your locker to check your phone. Sure enough, there was a text expecting you saying “I’m here”.
With your heart beating excitedly against your rib case, you tried your best to conceal yet another smile as you got ready to take a shower, saying goodbye to each one of your teammates that were ready and started leaving one by one.
You waited for everyone to leave before you yourself left the locker room and headed straight towards the bleachers. There was a little blocked off area right at the top so you skidded up the stairs, not even your heavy gym bag tiring you up. On the last few steps, you could already see him.
Im Jaebum, captain of the soccer team himself, was sitting on the floor with his legs crossed under himself, earphones in, and a notebook resting on his lap. He was wearing his club’s tracksuit, with his hair freshly dried parted in the middle and freely falling over the sides of his face. His hair had gotten so long.
He noticed someone coming and lifted his eyes off his notebook, melting into a soft smile upon seeing you.
“Oh, you’re here,” he said, reaching up to pull out his earphones.
“Finally,” you huffed.
That earned you a little chuckle from him while you stepped over, dropping your bag and yourself onto the floor right next to him.
“How was practice?” he asked, half turning his body towards you.
“Tiring. Coach caught people messing around and decided to punish us all.” You sighed, dropping your head onto his shoulder.
“That sucks,” he said, resting his head on yours.
You let out a little hum in response.
“You?” you asked.
“It was peaceful,” he answered with a one-shoulder shrug.
You responded with yet another little hum, peeking towards his notebook and soon reaching for his hand that was resting upon the one open page to gently push it out of the way so you could see what he was studying.
“Your people were here again today,” you said after a while, moving your head so you could sit straight, which he also did when he noticed you moving. “Can’t you tell them not to come here?” you asked, looking up at his face, your voice already gaining a bit of a whiny tone.
“Your people were at the field again today as well. Can’t you tell them not to go there?” he responded calmly, he himself looking straight at you.
“I’ve tried!” You full-on whined.
“So have I,” he answered, his eyebrows lifting as he offered you a shrug. “I don’t think there’s much we can do about it.” He added, shaking his head.
You pursed your lips for a moment, eventually letting out a long sigh.
“Guess you’re right,” you agreed.
You watched his lips slowly curve into a soft smile and his sharp eyes become smaller, one of his hands reaching up to tuck your hair behind your ear. You couldn’t help but melt into your own smile, reaching for his hand so you could intertwine your fingers with his.
Im Jaebum, captain of the soccer team and yourself, captain of the swim team, had found yourselves utterly in love with each other.
You could still remember the first time you’d met him.
As captain of one of the main sports teams, you had to attend anything that was related to sports in the school, which meant being there for most of the council meetings. That day was the first time you’d be attending a meeting as the new captain.
You were well aware of which clubs were friends and which were not as you’d been part of the swim club for a while even before being chosen as their captain. Needless to say, you were already on the fence about meeting him.
You’d seen the captain of the soccer club several times before in the hallways. You knew he was a respected figure among the school for his integrity and friendliness. He was also quite popular for his looks.
As you weren’t one to take part in any club wars, you’d only heard about him from your teammates. Some didn’t like him, mainly because of the simple fact that he was the captain of that one team, and some others were impartial. However, you’d never heard anyone in your club specifically say they liked him. You had always wondered why.
You had never seen him in the gym along with the rest of the team when they came over specifically to annoy your team. You had always wondered if he had ever set foot in there with that specific motive. However, you yourself had never set foot on those specific field bleachers either. It just wasn’t something you agreed with.
You couldn’t lie, when you met him, his blatant friendliness caught you off guard. It was as if he didn’t know who you were or full-on ignored the fact that you were the captain of the swim team. He was as friendly with you as he was with every other team captain, even inviting you to sit next to him while explaining the captain of the swim team had always sat right there during council meetings.
He was so mature and friendly that there was absolutely no chance for you to have any unpleasant feelings for him. How could you dislike someone who was being so considerate towards you?
 The more you met, the friendlier you got towards each other. At some point, you started exchanging little greeting nods in the hallways, which slowly started including the exchange of little smiles as well. After council meetings, you’d also sneak away to share a cold or warm drink, depending on the weather. You’d also often find him at the library.
He was an utterly curious character. A soccer player who liked to read books. Engaging in conversations with him, in a neutral territory and peacefully away from your respective teams and positions as captains, he’d tell you about the books he’d read and the classes he was taking and you’d find utter comfort in listening to him and discussing everything and nothing with him.
The way you two fell in love was quite natural, quite peaceful, quite visibly mutual.
Of course, you knew better than to be openly in love. The captains of the two sports teams that despised each other the most? In love? Everyone would go crazy. Who knew if they wouldn’t try to come between you two? Or if you two would even lose all credibility and respect?
Both you and Jaebum knew that was a sensitive topic and that you needed time to think of a way to break it to everyone. And while you tried to think of ways to do so, you’d just be together secretly. Although it was tiring and annoying to constantly sneak around to meet each other, there was also some sense of thrill to it. It was even funny at times.
 “Should we go for a drink?” he asked you after a while.
Your fingers were still between his, his gaze as gentle as could be.
You hummed with an affirmative nod in response which caused a little smile to tug at the corners of his lips. He also nodded and gave your hand a gentle little squeeze before he let go of it to put away his things in his backpack. When he was done, he finally hopped up, stretching his hand back down at you.
“Come on then, captain,” he incited, with the cheekiest little smirk.
You couldn’t help but let out a little snicker at his cheeky self, reaching up to take his hand.
“Let’s go, captain,” you offered, with your own little smirk.
Both of you soon started laughing quietly so you wouldn’t be caught, Jaebum helping you up with a little tug.
And so, both of you captains threw your things over your shoulders and sneaked away to share your usual drinks.

bf!doyoung
Tumblr media
request: cute annoying bf doyoung pls uwu
a/n: hey its rai. i just wanted to say thank you for being patient with me. this is the first time i’ve written anything in like 9 months so i hope its okay and pls feel free to leave constructive criticism. ALSO, i didn’t know what format anon wanted this in so im just gonna do bullet points like the doyoung college!au which is linked here if you wanna check it out. this can kinda be seen as like a sequel to that but like they are also totally fine as stand alones okay okay that’s it enjoy!
warnings: none (unless rusty writing counts as one)
genre: fluff
pairing: doyoung x reader
summary: doyoung is clingy and you’re trying to finish an essay
word count: 980 words
so lets say this is like a solid bit into your relationship with mr. kim doyoung
like about 6ish months
are yall in love? absolutely
actually he was the first to say it, on your 3 month anniversary
it was super cute and romantic, you guys were having a picnic and watching the sunset
you were busy painting some cherries (is that random? idk. oh well)
and you could feel him looking at you so once you finally looked up towards him he just blurted it out
now i wouldn’t say it caught you completely by surprise because prior to this you and doyoung did this thing where instead of ending a phone call with “okay bye i love you” you would always add something extra to the end of it
“okay stay safe!”
“i will. bye bye, i love you…r smile”
“later babe i love you…r positivity”
ya know cute shit like that
so when he actually said it all you could do was smile at him and say it back
and it was like everything was settling into place
it wasn’t necessarily fireworks and rockets going off
it was just like how it felt watching the sunset
calm
serene
peaceful
like everything was just right ya know?
anywho that was 3 months ago, let's talk about the present
you were currently lounging around with doyoung
well, doyoung was lounging, you were working on essay
or at least trying to
it was one of the unfortunate times where your schedules just hadn’t been working out lately
he was busy promoting and it was almost the end of the quarter which meant term papers and finals for you
so even when he got the rare day to relax and spend time with you, you were busy
and so even though you wanted to just spend all day cuddled up with him, you couldn’t
today doyoung was in desperate need of love and affection
tbh he just missed you and wanted to be near you
and right now you were all the way at the dining room table while he sat on the living room couch
which was entirely too separated for his taste
you were too into the essay to even realize that he had gotten up and was slowly making his way over to you
doyoung tried to loudly casually grab a water bottle to get your attention
when that didn’t work he tried to start up a conversation and stand directly over your shoulder as you type away
“hey y/n how’s the paper going?”
“good thanks”
“how much more do you have?”
“about 2 and a half pages”
“wow great job babe. do you want some water?”
he placed his water right in front of your face
“thanks but im good do. i just finished a glass”
“okay but what about a snack, you’ve been working for so long
“do, i appreciate the concern but i just want to power through this last bit and then we can watch some movies and order some take out.”
you turned your head up towards his and placed a kiss on his cheek before going back to writing
you couldn’t see how he huffed and puffed as he walked into the kitchen to brainstorm up another way to get your attention
he eventually decided on getting a snack for himself, some kettle cooked chips
aka the loudest possible chip he could’ve gotten
not only is it super crunchy but for some reason the bags are also super loud to open
or is that just me? just me, okay.
which was perfect
so he pulled a chair directly next to you and began to eat these chips as loud as he possibly could
and after getting about halfway through bag he realized that you would never tell him to quiet down so he wanted to up the ante
he started to hum regular
and the humming progressively got more and more intense
until he was not only full-on singing but he did ALLthe background vocals, drums, guitar riffs, synth beats.
literally every possible element of this song
and doing the choreo in his seat
all less then a foot away from you and your so close to being done paper
you sighed and slowly turned your head to him
“doyoung sweetheart. whatcha doin?”
he immediately gave you the puppy dog eyes
“huh? what do you mean y/n?”
you couldn’t help but give him a small smile because even if he was preventing you from finishing your work, you couldn’t stay mad at him
just look at him
hes too cute to be mad at
mad? no.
annoyed? a little bit.
“look doyoung i just need to do the works cited and then i promise i will give you all the attention you want”
“oh please. don’t rush on my account. i can wait as long as you need.”
you playfully rolled your eyes at him before finishing the essay as quickly as possible before he starts singing simon says lmao
and he patiently sat beside you as you worked
well if patiently means you could feel him shaking his leg up and down and could ear the incessant tapping of his fingers on the table
finally, he watched as you typed the last word
you were barely able to save the document before he dragged you into the living room and onto the couch
laughter bubbled up from inside as he threw himself next you and simultaneously draped a blanket over the both of you
where did he get the blanket from? no clue. but now it’s here.
he snuggled himself into your side as he mindlessly put a movie on netflix
and tbh the movie really didn’t matter
because finally doyoung had you all to himself at least for now
and that’s all either of you could ask for
fin!
a/n: alrighty! that’s it. i hope it wasn’t too bad. i’m still trying to get back into the swing of things but either way i hope you enjoyed. sorry if it was all over the place or sloppy, i did a quick passover and edit but like i said i am always open to constructive criticism :)
thanks, rai

name: evelyn charlotte banks nicknames: charlotte , lottie , lott , char , charlie , charmander , etc. but she no longer goes by evelyn in this lifetime age: twenty three physically , sixty seven biologically sexuality: panromantic / sexual pronouns: she / her , cisfemale  species: vampire sign: gemini spotify: here pinterest: here
hello moon beams and star shines , this is late but i’ve just been busy with work ! i’ve got the time to try and finish stuff now , so i’m gonna work on trying to do my daughter’s intro. if you’d like to plot feel free to hmu via tumblr im or ask for my discord bc i’ll gladly give it. i also play rune ( shadow graced human ) so yeah it’s snottie back at it again , anything you want to know about me or lottie alike hmu or just read below to find out more about my sweet serial killer vamp princess
── the high council is prepared to hear the story of EVELYN CHARLOTTE ‘ LOTTIE ‘ BANKS , a VAMPIRE while noted as a WANDERER. we might of mistaken them as MADELAINE PETSCH. appearances may be deceiving, with immortality being so common among supernaturals. this being has walked the earth for NINETY years, and their face reflects an age of TWENTY THREE they’re a CITIZEN of estonia and will be residing in TALLIN.
during their stay of the harvest they shall work by day as a STRIPPER to blend in with the mortal crowd. however, at night you might find them as AN ESCORT / ASSASSIN. they’re UNHAPPY about the harvest, however, they plan to please the high council.
PERSONALITY.
vampire beauty queen , primadonna , self-proclaimed princess. this darling girl has always loved attention , luxury , all things beautiful and transitioning to the darkness only heightened that love. so much so that she will do just about anything to satisfy her own wants or needs. lottie is ruthless , verging on sociopathic. she is delicate , but she is dangerous. she is by no means unfeeling though , nor incapable of love. she can be sweet , she can be soft , she can be pink cheeks and bright smiles just as she can be bloody lips and deranged laughter. she is genuinely kind , loving and gentle unless your death would make her happier than your being alive.  
ruling planet: mercury — the planet of communication body parts: shoulders , arms , hands element: air good day: fascinating , original , resourceful , charming , wise , adventurous bad day: restless , distracted , two-faced , judgmental , depressed , overwhelmed favorite things: cell phones , fast cars , trendy clothes , obscure music , guitars , books , clubbing least favorite things: small-minded people , dress codes , authority figures , silence , routines secret wish: to have all the answers how to spot her: mischievous twinkle in her eyes,  humming , talking with her hands where you’ll find her: taking pictures , behind the bar , in a chat room , playing devil’s advocate keywords: communication , collaboration , synergy , cleverness , wittiness , inventiveness ,  ingenuity
charlotte’s energy circulates in a quick and frenetic way , witty wordplay and dynamic dialogue are her forte. she is great for brainstorming and socializing , but craves “ twin flame ” and kindred spirit energy and is always up for an intellectual meeting of the minds. 
under the influence she can find herself with the gift of gab , talking and conversing with others for hours hopping from pop culture trends to deep political topics. beware of when she becomes a “ gossip girl , ” as she can crank up the rumor mill. as renowned dr. bernie siegel says , “ we have the ability to cure with either ‘ words ’ or kill with ‘ swords. ' ” 
the essence of charlie’s energy is fascinating , original , resourceful , charming , wise , and adventurous. some negative manifestations can devolve into more restless , distracted , two-faced , judgmental , depressed , and overwhelmed energy. 
lottie has a tendency to ride the roller coaster of life , spiraling skywards one minute and plunging into lows the next. if you can keep up with her vibes though , you’ll have one hell of a thrill !
charlotte exhibits great creative synergy , instantly connecting people to each other. always inclined to spend time with friends and focused on changing the world one idea at a time.
a little bit older and wiser , more flexible and comfortable with change than others. she can “ chameleon ” herself to fit into a variety of situations. 
can come across as clever and quick-witted , eager to dish out the juiciest pieces of news and happenings to their friends via text message and social media. in case that’s not enough , she’ll probably send you a snapchat story for good measure.
lottie loves fast cars , trendy clothes and any wacky gadgets or games they can tinker around with. part of the fun ( and curse ) of this fiery red head is that you’re never quite sure which personality you’re going to experience. will it be the vivacious , pun-dishing jokester or the snarky , mean-spirited critic ? if you’re willing to see fifty shades of crazy , she’ll color your life in thrilling ways !
BACKGROUND.
evelyn charlotte banks was born june fourth , 1930 and was given the dark gift in the early fifties ( so you’ll definitely notice some call backs to that time period ). she has grown and developed and adapted throughout time better than most , but you can take the sock hop away from the girl but not out of her. she remembers her life before , but doesn’t dwell on nor even really miss it.
she grew up in your rather classic straight lace upper middle class suburban family and community with her perfect nuclear family. the town they lived in was small , close knit , and everyone knew everyone but especially who evelyn’s family was. 
she was in a lot of pageants growing up and was even platinum blonde for most of her human life , because she was so afraid her red hair would keep her from being successful.
when she was eighteen years old with big shiny dreams of silver screens , luxury , and eyes all on her was all she could think of. she left her family and their small generational hometown in georgia for bigger , better things in none other than hollywood. 
she was on her way ,  so desperate to be in the movies and be like marilyn monroe but shortly after is when she became ensnared by darkness and evil.  she wasn’t very successful at all in the beginning so , she started wearing tighter , shinier outfits when she was on stage when suddenly she started getting actual recognition. 
she wasn’t acting like she had intended , but it turned out her voice was good enough to land her plenty of lounge singing gigs in multiple joints. it was one particularly dark , seedy , dangerous joint that only opened once the sun set completely and closed upon the sun rise that she finally started to get propositioned to do so-called ‘ film gigs. it was also in this place where she met him for the first time. 
( tw: cult ment. ) her maker is very old and before she ever knew he was anything more than a handsome older gentleman she was fully under his control. he was something of a cult leader who for the most part glamoured his ‘ followers ‘ , but that was never necessary with charlotte. she was thoroughly and completely in love with her maker , she even ‘ married ‘ him and lived on his compound.
( tw: rape ment. , assault ment. ) it wouldn’t be for a few more years that he would finally turn her ,and only after he found her brutally beaten and raped for nothing more than a snuff film. her maker found her on the verge of death and wasted no time in saving her life by bestowing his dark gift upon her. 
( tw: murder ment. ) to say that lottie felt indebted to and fell in love with her maker to the point of obsession was an understatement , she would do anything and everything he asked of her including murder not in the name of feeding.
( tw: death ment. ) the films she was in were kept in the dark underbelly of the industry and no one was none the wiser , not to mention everyone thought she was dead after her last film.
so , she eventually did make her debut in film and was even on the silver screen finally. this only lasted for as long as she could get away with not aging before eventually she disappeared off the radar with her maker. the two traveled far and wide for a long time , but eventually went their separate ways even though lottie wanted nothing of the sort her maker commanded she live her own life without him now.
( tw: murder ment. ) she has since become something of a murderer ?? she prefers to call herself an assassin but it’s rare anyone actually pays her to murder anyone. you could even call her  a serial killer if you take into account that her victims are almost always men of the unsavory variety , but she has two sides to her personality and it’s not like she’s full maniac.
ETC.
if you know what yandere means she fits that description very well , and if you don’t know what it means well:  a common term in otaku fandom , a yandere is a person ( usually female ) romantically obsessed with someone to the point of using violent means to get them in their arms. often can be seen featured with a sharp weapon and a psychotic grin.
pretty much she comes off as this sweet , lovely , beautiful woman with lots of talent but in reality she can switch that off in an instant and literally kill you without any hesitation if it benefits her or someone she loves.
anyway she has been in estonia for only a bit now , but how long is flexible. she probably likes the scenery and the supernatural presence , but she’s honestly not a country mouse at all. 
also not that she needs money , but there is very little she loves more than attention and money. she works at a club as live entertainment on occasion , singing or stripping or bartending or occasionally doing , mostly for the attention but also if she’s in need of money.

INCOMING MESSAGE …
FULL NAME: kwon ares ALIAS: mars, ari, appa DATE OF BIRTH: 2117/07/18 ALIGNMENT: neutral OCCUPATION: sous-chef at seorabeol restaurant AFFILIATION: leader of the fraternity of jade ACCOMMODATION: serene living, nagatacho FACECLAIM: im jaebum
ACCESSING: BACKGROUND …
then .
EVERYONE HAS AN ORIGIN STORY , everyone has a becoming — or an unbecoming . for ares , it’s a little bit of both but much more of the latter . it was clear just how his life was supposed to go as he was the sole heir of castor kwon — or to be more scurrilously known as the leader of the fraternity of jade . yet , ares would know nothing about the organization , not until he comes of proper age to be exposed to such a life .
it showed with how frequently he questioned where his father was , only getting a smile from his mother , hera . she always told him he would soon find out when he was older , and ready . whatever that meant . but he never pushed it , not when he gets distracted with his father’s latest gifts . he was spoiled , and he liked being spoiled . the young kwon got everything he wanted , just as long as he did well in his academics , listened to his private tutors , and stayed a good boy .
he didn’t have that much friends growing up — all he had was his immediate family , a handful of androids , and men his father called friends ( prompting him to call them uncles , prompting them to dote on him ) . they were enough for him , enough to go around the house and keep him company when he got lonely . he ceased questioning why he had to be within the vicinity at all times , not even daring to go past the gates because as father once said , ‘ it’s to keep him safe . the house was safe . he was going to be safe . ’
i .
he always looked up to his father . but.. he never pegged him to be a liar . because he wasn’t safe , not really . and he soon finds out on the day of castor’s supposed arrival — everyone was busy preparing his homecoming ; androids were setting things up , the men outside had already cracked open a few bottles of beer , and mother was in the kitchen . she was cooking up a feast . and watching her bustle around the kitchen has been ares’ favorite past time . sadly , that would be the last time .
because as the night crept in , just a few hours before castor’s arrival , everything shattered . it started with the windows , the sudden smoke , then the gunshots .
ii .
hera was quick to drag ares up towards the master bedroom before locking the door and barring it . ares was frozen , he didn’t know what was happening as he watched mother cry , as he watched her call his father and — ‘ they found us . ’ he was confused , and scared because mother looked scared and , ’ mommy ? who found us ? what’s happening ? ’ she did nothing but gape for a moment before ending the call quickly — ending it with the sweetest words before pulling ares into the closet .
‘ ares , darling , i want you to be a good boy and stay in here . do not make a sound . i want you to cover your ears and count quietly to a hundred when i close the door , okay ? ’ ares nods . ‘ daddy will be here any moment . daddy will be here when you finish counting . okay ? mommy loves you , darling , mommy loves you . mommy’s here , mommy’s here . ’ and darkness surrounds him as the door closes , just as the bedroom door gets broken down .
iii .
mommy lied . she wasn’t there when he came out . but well , he lied too . he heard everything and only counted up to eight , until everything was quiet .
iv .
he was mute for a year after that happened . and he’s learned that people lie so easily , for their benefit . father did that a lot after mother died . he kept him close and suddenly , his eyes opened to a new reality . and castor hates to admit it , hates to accept it , but he watched his son grew into someone else entirely .
v .
he was violent , especially when he lost his temper . he took up job after job — got more reckless with it , sloppy even . but he always got the job done .
ares often thinks about the fact that castor had probably never imagined his son to turn out like this — but what did he expect from someone who lost his innocence at a young age ? still , his father did his best to tame him and mold him just enough to fill in his shoes when the time comes . he was patient with ares , always has been and always will be . he’s never yelled at him , never physically harmed him . he always laid a hand on his shoulder to reel him back in when he’s gone too far .
but sometimes , not everything chooses to remain the same .
vi .
the first and last time his father punches him , is when he finds out he got someone pregnant . he was barely nineteen when he got his best friend and fellow gang member , minji , pregnant . it was also the first time ares has ever felt a lick of betrayal .
he didn’t want it , didn’t want whatever child was growing in minji’s belly . he refused to even acknowledge it as his . but minji was apparently desperate — so she went around his back and told the kwon patriarch . the news apparently didn’t sit well with him , ares’ fault and refusal didn’t sit well with him — and it would be something ares would never forget .
vii .
it took a year for him to finally acknowledge that he had a child , that he was a father . but the moment he first held haeju in his arms , he saw nothing but his future and purpose .
now .
it’s been six years since then , and a year since he was promoted as the fraternity’s new leader . his father may have stepped down , but he remains as an adviser . ares still struggles with the power he holds and he knows some members might not be happy about someone so young leading them . but ares pays them no mind , just as long as everyone stays loyal towards the fraternity — all will be well . but with the rising tension in the world around them , who knows ?
but one thing is for certain , ares will do anything for the fraternity — his fraternity . anything to keep them safe and whole .
ACCESSING: PERSONALITY …
POSITIVE TRAITS: fraternal , multifaceted , sentimental  NEGATIVE TRAITS: jealous , possessive , violent 
it’s a bit difficult to pin down someone like ares . but everyone in the fraternity would say that ares had two moods — to fuck someone up or to fuck someone . spoiled and coddled growing up , he’s grown selfish and possessive — something he does’t flaunt unless really triggered . he’s choleric enough that the smallest thing can set him off like a bomb — turning him violent sometimes . 
but on good days , he can be charming . often up for a good conversation , engaging and says just the right things to get the ball rolling . loyalty is something he respects , often sees past one’s minor misdeeds if you’ve managed to gain his trust and show him you could be better . but if you break that trust to the point it’s unfixable , you’re dead to him .
... END OF MESSAGE.

Major In Love: Bonus chapter
okay so like i realized this scene doesnt fit in the fic but i rly like it so im going to share it here. maybe put this as a bonus chapter to major in love
Syaoran sat slumped over his desk, his nose buried in his textbook. He had an exam coming up in his Religious Studies class and he wanted to get the best grade he could. His eyes ran across the pages and through his notes, flipping through the color coordinated information in his binder. He had been studying for three hours now and his brain was frying, he had two exams already within the week, a presentation that he pulled multiple all-nighters to finish, three essays, and a quiz. He was exhausted. He leaned back in his chair, resting the back of his neck onto the rim of the seat. He looked up at the white ceiling of his dorm, darkness slowly flooding his eyes as he began to doze off. Suddenly he felt a light hand on his shoulder which startled him, his eyes darting open, blinking various times. "I brought you some coffee." Tsubasa spoke, two mugs in his right hand. Syaoran happily accepted the caffeine, taking a big sip of the piping hot drink. It burnt his tongue but it didn't hurt as bad as his head felt. He watched his brother go to the desk opposite of his and open his own textbook and notes. They both took various classes that gave out a lot of homework, though Tsubasa's major was different than his own. Tsubasa was a linguistics and sociology major, a little similar to Syaoran's own major but with its own differences in classes and teachings. Luckily, the twins were fairly intelligent and could figure out the classes easily, even if one or the other needed a bit of help on whatever they were working on. Syaoran was taken out of his trance by the familiar notification of snapchat. He grabbed his phone and lit up the screen, his phone background a repeating art piece of puppy paws with a green backdrop. He noticed he had two texts from Ryuo and a snap from Sakura. Syaoran's heart fluttered at the sight of her name on his phone screen. The two had exchanged numbers and snapchats at Yuzuriha's party before everyone left the next morning. Sakura stopped Syaoran and Tsubasa on their way out, saying she wanted to keep in touch with the both of them. Syaoran opened the snap, it was a selfie of Sakura sulking with her cheek squished against her hand and a caption "This essay has me Dead" with various emojis. Syaoran smiled at the photo, even though the picture wasnt necessarily flattery, Sakura still looked incredibly cute; she really was photogenic. He replied, taking a picture of his work desk piled with books and papers, putting a caption that read "I'm exhausted". He looked at his reply before sending, wondering if it sounded too uptight. His brows furrowed, contemplating on what he should do to make the message a little more friendly and inviting for further conversation. He decided to add the weary emoji, something simple but to also show the message wasn't strict or serious. With a shaky hand, he pressed the reply button then clicked off his screen and set his phone down. Just as he was about to get back to studying for this godforsaken exam, his phone lit up again. Syaoran blinked then grabbed his phone and saw it was another notification from Sakura. She replies fast, he thought. He opened the reply to his reply to see another selfie, this time she said she "wanted a Phat Cup of Coffee". Syaoran chuckled at her use of the word "phat", clearly incorrect but done so on purpose for the sake of humor. "Does your textbook have a typo too?" Syaoran heard Tsubasa's voice from across the room. "I just found, like, two." He laughed. He looked over to his brother, a blush on his cheek. "Ah, no, I'm Snapchatting Sakura." He said sheepishly. Tsubasa then turned his full attention to Syaoran, a knowing grin on his face. Syaoran blushed even deeper at his brother's sly smile, "I-It's not anything serious, we're just talking about coffee. I'm sure she sent you a snap as well." He said, almost blurting out his sentence. Tsubasa raised an eyebrow, checked his phone screen, then looked back to Syaoran. "Nope." He said in amusement. Syaoran's face went beet red, surely Sakura was talking to someone else as well, maybe she just assumed that if Syaoran got the snap then Tsubasa would see it too. Yeah, that had to be it. Syaoran was knocked out of his racing thoughts by another snapchat notification, this time from Tomoyo. Curiously, he opened it then felt his heart race by what he saw. It was Tomoyo, clearly sneaking a picture of Sakura hunched over in her pajamas focusing on the essay she had mentioned, the side of Tomoyo's face in the corner of her own photo, she was grinning. There was text, it said "Bring her some coffee" with a heart emoji. Syaoran immediately stood up, the legs of his chair scraping against the hardwood floors of the dorm. "I'll be right back." He sputtered out without looking his brother in the face, quickly shutting the door behind him. He went outside the boys' dorms, heading to the side of the building where some vending machines sat. He parked himself in front of the coffee machine, then stopped himself, Crap I didn't ask what kind of coffee she likes! He mentally slapped himself. His eyes darted around the vending machine, examining the various types of drinks it had to offer. He could get a mocha, cappuccino, black, caffe americano. What kind of coffee does she like!? His mind was swimming in distress, he quickly grabbed his phone out of his pocket and went to snap Tomoyo, she had to know Sakura's preferences. "Syaoran?" He heard a voice from beside him. Syaoran looked to his side and saw her, Sakura standing in her pj's in front of him. His face turned a pretty shade of red, "Hi." He said, standing up straight. "You came to get coffee too? I'm glad! We can talk to each other in person now." Sakura beamed, her smile lighting up the area surrounding her. Syaoran smiled gently, his nerves easing a bit at her relaxed nature. He put his phone back in his pocket, then pulled out his wallet, getting cash out for the machine. Sakura walked up beside him, which he noticed she was awfully close, scanning the machine for her desired drink. "I think I'll have...an Espresso." She said to herself, pressing the buttons on the machine to fit her order. Syaoran mentally noted her like of espresso, thinking he would have to remember that for the future. He stood silently, still unsure of what to do. He was supposed to bring the coffee to Sakura's dorm, which he was putting off thinking about until the time came, but now she was here buying one for herself. He already had coffee in his room, he didn't want that to go to waste but he also felt weird not buying anything. "Aw shoot!" Sakura cried from beside him. "Is everything alright?" Syaoran looked at her in concern. Sakura looked at him defeated, "Yeah I just forgot to bring my cash with me...I'm so forgetful when I'm tired. I'll have to use my card now." She sighed slowly. "Is that a bad thing?" He asked. "Well, not really. But I hate using my card unless its an emergency, but I already made that trip here." She laughed quietly, brushing a bit of hair behind her hears in nervousness. "I need coffee to survive this essay and I don't want to make another trip." Syaoran looked at her for a moment, then down at his wallet. "I'll pay for you." He said without hesitation. Sakura looked absolutely shocked by this, "No!! No, you really don't have to! I was a dummy and forgot my cash, I'll just use my card, it's okay!" She was so flustered at the idea of Syaoran paying for her coffee. "I want to." He said with the most genuine eyes. Sakura looked into his eyes, connecting jade with amber. Syaoran smiled at her, giving her a look so gentle she could feel her entire body grow soft. She blushed, "Okay. Thank you so much, Syaoran." She said shyly. Syaoran's heart skipped a beat when she said his name, sending chills up his spine. He nodded then put his money into the machine, watched it make her coffee, then handed it to her, their hands briefly touching at the trade. Syaoran's cheeks turned pink at the touch, her hands were so soft. "I'll pay you back tomorrow, okay?" Sakura said with her own red cheeks. "No, you don't have to. I wanted to pay for you." He replied, giving her that same gentle smile. Sakura blinked, then smiled back. "Thank you, Syaoran...Really." She rubbed her shoe on the concrete, looking down at her hot cup of coffee. "What are you gonna get?" She then asked. Syaoran looked at the machine then down at his wallet, he only had ten dollars left in cash and then his credit card. He wasn't against using it like Sakura was, but he did prefer to use cash when he had it on him. Realistically, he had enough for a coffee, but he wanted to use the money for lunch tomorrow before he went to work. The scale in his head weighed his options: save the money for lunch or have a coffee with Sakura right now in this very moment. Sakura seemed to easily outweigh the food. He put in the order for a regular coffee, paid, then took his beverage. The two sat against the wall by the vending machines sharing their coffee over conversation; "My brother used to always call me a monster, saying I stomped around the house too much. I always dreamed of growing taller than him and crushing him under my feet, but he's still taller than me and still calls me a monster!" Sakura told Syaoran, grumbling at the talk of her brother. Syaoran chuckled at her words, thinking her batner with her brother was cute. She looked to him, "Do you and Tsubasa have anything you quarrel over?" Her smile was genuine and curious. Syaoran hummed, "Not really. We have our differences though and he likes to tease me about things, but I don't mind. He's just a little more bold than I am." He said, watching the stars peak out from behind the clouds. "Though our brother, Kimihiro, can get a bit upset easily." "You have another brother?" Sakura asked, her expression full of surprise. Syaoran nodded, "He was adopted into the family when we were 7. It took him a bit to warm up to us, but we're all very close now." He smiled fondly. "How old is he?" Sakura asked curiously. "21, the same age as Tsubasa and I." "Where does he go to school?" "New York, he's studying psychology." "That's so cool! Do you guys talk often?" "Yeah, we FaceTime when we're all free, sometimes we all FaceTime our father who is a college professor in Washington." Sakura brought her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around her legs. She stared at Syaoran with a tender smile, "I really enjoy talking to you Syaoran." She said with a pink tint to her cheeks, "I hardly know anything about you, but I think you're kind and hard working. You take on so much and never complain and you're always helping out others. I admire you a lot." She rested her head on her knees, her smile radiating light all around her. Syaoran stared into her gentle green eyes with a blush, she was so honest and genuine. She made his chest feel like it was on fire and the butterflies in his stomach never stilled when he was around her. He looked away from her eyes, the blush still lingering on his brown skin and took a long sip of his coffee. Sakura sighed, "It's getting late and I have to finish this essay." She said, standing up from her spot on the ground, stretching in place. Syaoran stood up with her, brushing off any dirt that may have gotten on his pants. "Thank you again, Syaoran. I had a really good time." She smiled that same bright smile, "I'll see you in class tomorrow." She waved a goodbye, then turned to walk back to her dorm. Syaoran watched her go, feeling his heart pound in his chest. He had talked to her again, held a proper conversation with her, and it made his heart soar.

ballet : travis konecny
anonymous asked: Can you write something about Travis Konecny please.
word count: 2,770
warning(s): kinda steamy? lmao.
a/n: this was originally an andre imagine but i got requested to do something for tk and this just seems more fitting for him.
this routine required a lot of practice, but you were willing to put in as much effort as possible. ballet had been a huge thing in your family for years now, nearly everyone you knew had felt passionate about this type of dance.
this specific routine was created by an ancestor of yours long ago, and you were aiming to finally be able to master it. it was important due to the fact that you’d be using it as your application for the biggest dance company in the world located in france. although this would be a big move, it was your dream and you were willing to risk it all for it to come true.
but, you still loved your job of being a ballet instructor to young girls. it was a nice job that paid well, but it wasn’t something you’d consider doing for the rest of your life.
messing up the routine for the sixth time in a row, you angrily stomped your foot on the ground before your head tilted back in annoyance to stare at the ceiling. still not knowing why you couldn’t nail a move all of your other family members could do, speaking you’d been dancing your whole life.
“shit,” you mumbled as you walked across the practice room to the stereo to start the song again. the beautiful sounds of a violin started playing; indicating that you get into the first position. scurrying to the center in the room, you stared at yourself in the large ballet mirror.
the violins slowly transitioned into light piano playing, causing you to start the routine. it all went well at the start, you had the first half down; it was the second half that made it hard to perfect. the most complicated move involved slightly leaping into the air by the push of one foot, which was extremely difficult.
trying your best not to get anxious and overthink, you lept into the air which only resulted in you tripping over your feet and hitting the floor. you swore again once your back hit the floor and you were staring up at the ceiling yet again. closing your eyes, you felt another presence enter the room. assuming it was just another assistant instructor, you let her watch you sulk miserably on the floor.
"are the girls finished getting changed yet, margo?" you asked her, still not bothering to open your eyes as the music continued to play in the background.
“i don’t know, i don’t work here.” a male’s voice replied, causing you to open your eyes and quickly sit up in shock. seeing that it was only travis, you laid back on the floor. “shouldn’t you be at practice?” you questioned as he walked to your spot in the room.
towering over you like a giant, travis reached a hand out to help you up. “you left the house before i even woke up; i couldn’t go to practice without seeing you first.” a grunt escaped your lips as you stood to the floor with the help of your boyfriend.
"that's sweet but i don't want you to be late." you appreciated how nice he was being, yet didn't want him to get in any form of trouble because of it.
“i don’t mind being a few minutes late,” travis followed your trail closely behind as you walked to turn off the stereo. “you don’t mind but your coach will,” you replied. you shook away the thought of tk’s coach angrily yelling at him once he finally made it to practice.
"i just wanna help you practice; don't you want me here?" his tone was full of dissapointment, only as a way to get you to feel bad for him and ask you to stay. and, on his behalf, it was working.
he loosely held onto your wrist as a way you get you to stop walking. knowing you would give in to his plea, you let your eyes look around at anything but him. “i appreciate you wanting to help, travis, but you don’t know ballet."
"do you want me here: yes or no? if you say no, i swear to god i'll just go to practice." travis lightly pulled you closer to him as he speak, nearly having you to step on the tips of his toes.
groaning, you tilted your head back before looking back at travis, finally giving him what he wanted. “i suppose a few more minutes won’t hurt. but, you have to keep your promise and help me.”
letting his actions do all the talking for him, travis took a step back before pulling off his jacket and tossing it to the side of the room; causing you to raise a brow at him. "ballet get's sweaty, i had to take it when i was younger." he said his statement so nonchalantly to the point where you were nearly upset about him not telling he knew a few thing about something you were passionate about yet decided not to tell you.
"are you kidding? why didn't you tell me?"
he shrugged, making his way over to re-start the song. "most athletes take ballet to help with balance; i didn't think it was much to tell, really."
“but i still wish you would have told me, it’d be a nice thing to know,” you made your way to the ballet bar as you spoke, starting to do a quick set of stretches before having to start dancing once again. “i mean, wouldn’t you’d like to know if i played hockey when i was younger?”
“i guess i see your point,” he hit the replay button and waited for the instrumental to sound in the room. he recognized the music shortly after it began from all the times he’d heard you practice it before falling to the ground with a ‘thud’ so loud, it made the neighbors complain. he smirked to himself as the memories filled his head before glancing at you in the mirror, making eye contact (which you broke due to the all too familiar gleam of lust in his eyes).
"i may not be an expert in ballet, but, uh, why don't you just pick a new routine? you probably have tons of others that are just as good as this one," he suggested.
too invested in completing your stretches, you hadn’t noticed he was standing directly next to you at the bar until you had finally decided to look up at him in the mirror. he was supporting himself against the wooden bar as he continued to watch you finish up stretching. “because this one is the best one i know, it’ll easily get me into that company.”
"if it were up to me, you'd be in that company based on looks alone," he flirted. he shifted his weight so that he was now standing closer to you than before, his left hand moving from the bar to grip onto your waist.
the feeling of his fingertips grazing across your clothed skin was enough to make goosebumps rise against his touch. your eyes moved to look directly at the hand placed on your waist as memories of the previous night with him had flooded your mind.
the flyers had won their game last night, and travis had scored. twice. it was obviously a big deal for him (and basically any hockey player in the league) to score during a game. and the fact that he had scored twice sent him on a high that he couldn’t seem to come down from. not that you minded, games like this for him resulted in the most unimaginable sex ever, and that’s exactly what last night had consisted of.
“not now, teeks. you said you’d help me practice 'member?” you cleared your throat and focused on yourself through the mirror as your first attempt to not get distracted. “what’re you thinking about?” he asked, almost as if he was reading your mind.
“what i’m going to do to you if you don’t help me like you promised,” you replied as sweetly and innocently as possible.
he shrugged, a smug look on his face. "alright then," he started. "first off, your posture is all wrong. if you wanna get this routine down, the key element is to stretch properly. like this." slipping behind you, he placed both of his hands on either side of your waist, moving your hips upward to straighten out your posture.
the situation itself could have stayed as innocent as possible if it weren’t for tk starting to slide his hands down to the waistband of your ballet skirt once he saw it could get a reaction out of you. a small gasp escaped your lips and you swatted away his hands once you felt his cold fingers glide against your skin.
"you hockey players and your fucking cold ass fingers, keep those things the fuck away from me." you said, attempt number two.
"you didn't seem to mind these cold fingers last night." he fired back, his response was so clever and quickly thought up that you almost gave him props on it. "can we just...get started with the..." you trailed off, hoping travis would get the message. attempt number three.
"alright, so, you're having trouble with that double leap thing, right?" he asked, keeping his eyes locked on yours.
“yeah, everything else is fine,” you replied as calmly as possible although you couldn’t get your mind off of the way travis was acting. he was more of a private person when it came to touching you like this when not so innocent thoughts were roaming around in his mind.
much to your surprise, travis sat on the floor and patted for you to sit directly in front of him. "let's just talk for a minute."
“just go to practice, i’ll see you later.” you tried not to sound rude, but the only thing travis was doing was stalling so he wouldn’t have to go to practice; while you, on the other hand, needed as much practice as you could get.
trying not to be offended, travis ignored your comment. "i'm not going anywhere," he said. "if you want me to leave, you're gonna have to move me yourself."
"well that's not happeneing," you whispered before taking a seat in front of him. "what do you wanna talk about?"
“what’s going to happen if you get into that dance company? are you going to have to move to france?” his tone sounded completely worried, which shocked you; he wasn’t exactly one to show his emotions unless it was anger.
"there are different locations, im sure i could find one closer to here," you reassured him and he sighed with relief. "that's good," he replied. "i'd go crazy without you."
a smile quickly made its way up to your face as the thought of travis needing you in his life appeared in your head. "really?" you questioned.
"of course i would," he replied matter-of-factly while seperating the space between the two of you by scooting closer to you before swiftly pulling you onto his lap without any problem; one of his many talents.
"no, no, no," you spoke, already knowing what your boyfriend's intentions were, "we're not doing this. not here." you had a good reputation at this ballet studio and wanted to keep it that way. one slip up with travis could possibly leave a group of young children seeing something they definitely shouldn't have.
"oh, c'mon. you sit on my lap all the time." he replied, acting as if he had no clue as to what you were talking about. it was a little game he'd like to play, quite honestly. he'd spend his time flirting with you and being extremely touchy and when you'd bring up the idea of him wanting to have sex, he'd pretend to be offended and tell you to get your mind out of the gutter. it was by far one of the most annoying things about him, but you didn't mind it much.
you laced your arms loosely around travis' neck to keep yourself from falling out of his lap. "so, if i were to...i don't know, kiss you," travis' eyes slightly widened in size, "you would just say you only wanted me to just sit on your lap and talk?"
he cocked his head to the side as he thought of what to say next before thinking of something after a few seconds of silence. "who am i to deny my own girlfriend a kiss?" he asked, a fuckboy-ish smirk on his face.
you tried not to laugh but failed as a chuckle pushed its way out of your lips. "shut up."
"make me," he challenged.
you held a single finger up to his lips to shush him. "how's this work?"
travis smiled once again before grabbing your wrist and pulling your hand down from his face. "or..." he trailed off, his hand dropped back to your waist before tightening his grip, and you already knew what you were in store for.
no longer wanting to fight off his consistent actions, your fingers glided across his prickly jaw that was covered in stubble. your eyes locked with his just as he searched your face for some sort of permission to place his lips on yours, and then other places.
you rested your forehead against his before shutting your eyes and finally letting your lips connect with his, and your fingers almost immediately went to tangle up in his hair. travis kept a firm grip on your waist and let out a throaty groan once he felt you push yourself against him.
you'd never done anything like this here, at work. the most you'd done with travis at the studio was exchanging a quick kiss when he dropped you off outside the building, that's it. and now, you were wrapped up in one another on the floor of a class you'd be instructing. soon enough, you forget you were even at work once you felt his fingers slip under the material of your skirt.
"miss. (y/n)?" a confused, high-pitched voice called out and you were almost too scared to look at what you already knew what was in front of you. opening your eyes, you were greeted by the sight of your normal class (which consisted of fifteen girls under the age of ten) along with your assistant instructor who was a teenage girl just trying to get her community service hours done with.
you immediately pushed travis down on the ground and let his back hit the floor. "if you think you being on top of me is a better sight than you just being on my lap then, boy, are you wrong." travis said, and his snarky comment alone made you want to quit your job right then and there.
"is that sex?" a young girl whose hair was wrapped up in a perfect bun asked and you were sure your embarrassment could be sensed from miles away.
trying not to swear out of frustration, you quickly stepped off of travis, helped him up, and shooed him out of the room before apologizing to your class and assistant. "is there a way i could get this to stay between just us girls?" you asked the group. you knew it was probably wrong to do this, but you were desperate.
"i don't know," another young girl teased, her brown skin tone was so smooth and even, you were almost tempted to ask her mother what skin care routine she used on here.
"i'll buy you guys ice cream!" the familiar voice of travis shouted from down the hall, and you were almost upset that he was still in the building.
"and pizza?!" the girl shouted back.
"pizza--what? i-- ugh," he groaned, "yes, pizza and ice cream if you promise not to tell."
the group of girls burst out into excitement as they had successfully blackmailed both you and your boyfriend. you were thankful he had still decided to help you, but he was going to be in so much trouble later.

the fade is a liar sometimes
aka, a really long post about how mal hawke survived dragon age inquisition. warning for big but kinda vague spoilers for dai and mentions of alcoholism
ok full disclosure i dont know how he survived the fade. but im thinking the nightmare like. didnt wake back up in time to block the way through the portal, and so never caused the Do I Kill The Warden Or Hawke dilemma. cos. that was kiiiiiiiinda bullshit. 
i had to pick between alistair and mal. and i really didnt want mal to be actually really dead bc at the time of here lies the abyss he’d be in a really shitty place, mentally, and i didnt want him to just! die! without resolving that! so i gave canon the finger and concocted a convoluted plan to give mal a better ending
background, after the events of da2, he ended up leaving kirkwall and fuckin’ around in the woods for a bit. i imagine he was helping refugees get out for a little while, until anders showed up and convinced him to help groups of renegade mages/circles on the verge of winning their independence. at this point he was pretty sick of the world at large, didn’t know what he wanted or where he was going to go next, and let himself be (guided? directed? pushed around?) by anders, drinking himself into oblivion and generally feeling like garbage. he fell out of contact with most of his remaining friends and began convincing himself that he was guilty for the explosion, by trusting anders (he’d suspected something was wrong with the ingredients anders was asking for and confronted him about it, but trusted him and helped him by distracting the grand cleric)
i rambled about this on my private twitter but mal and anders... ended up not being a great fit for one another and past me said it better than present me can
Tumblr media Tumblr media
eventually, the inquisition came into being and grew in power. anders, still being a wanted man and mal too by association, avoided the inquisition’s patrols pretty easily. but stories started to spread about the inquisitor and his... particularly creative justice. see, pica really likes choices that have some poetic irony to them that also focus on rebuilding (he had alexius work for the mages, stuff like that), generally avoids executions, and is pretty chill with mages. the inquisition is also independent of any government, really, and is about as impartial as you can get in thedas. so when mal gets word from varric that corypheus is back, a problem, and something they need mal’s help with (that is also, in his professional opinion, his fault), he gets an idea.
he heads to skyhold, meets pica (who read the tale of the champion, asks varric questions about it constantly, was expecting a hero, and was not expecting the hero to be a depressed alcoholic) and iunno here lies the abyss happens with the aforementioned edit of no one important dying (i guess i could kill alistair and preserve a kind of important turning point in pica’s character with an added bonus of giving mal another thing to have survivor’s guilt about but i dont think i could go through with it. imagine the emotional toll. pica could get that change some other way anyway) mal by this point has gotten to know pica fairly well and has found what he’s heard to be true, and gives him a proposition
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i would like to add now that while ive read asunder, until i looked it up just now i didn’t remember where it sits in the timeline relative to da2, and it wasnt super clear to me just how much each of the two events affected the mage/templar war. so some text in sketches might be inaccurate, historically)
so you can imagine that anders is Pissed Off by this development, but justice is kinda like 
Tumblr media
cos like. pica Is a real actual authority figure. who is down to dispense some quality justice esp re mages. and is coming at it from a “yo i know you meant well and you did kinda have a point but you also killed a lot of people so there does have to be Some kind of consequence of that”
(but neither of them are at all happy with mal turning them in)
anyway the trial ends up including a full investigation of the events in kirkwall, as well as the events at the spire (cole, rhys, and evangeline all give their testimony) and it’s more a straightening out of what was up with the whole start of this shitshow anyway, cos the confusion and misinformation about it is probably the worst part. 
pica finds anders guilty and sentences him to community service, which a lot of people disagreed with. pica thinks it was a GREAT IDEA though because that community service comes in the form of anders teaching the inquisition mages about healing magic!! something that anders is good at, loves doing, and can actually help people with!! why are we still fuckin about with herbs when there’s magic!!!!! this also has the added bonus of making mages less scary to the general populace- chuckin’ fireballs is a lot more alien and intimidating than healing up a broken arm, yknow? it can help mages seem more human and good for society than they were, separated from the public in towers.
anders is still a prisoner, though, which hes super not happy about, and part of his sentence is also that dagna gets to study him. he and samson are in grudging solidarity in the face of tolerating her extreme cheerfulness. and maybe he gets a cat too. i wonder if he and samson could talk about how shitty the chantry is re: lyrium addiction in templars? its obvs not on the scale of mage shittiness but it could be an interesting discussion
Tumblr media Tumblr media
see in the grand scheme of things mal really didnt do all that much. he was duped by a lover into doing something he 100% would not have done if hed known what was actually going on. i feel like the most anyone could bust him on was aiding and abetting. and maybe helping hide an apostate. mal was found, as pica informally put it while distracted by looking at a transcript of a kirkwall templar’s testimony, “kinda guilty? just like. if ur asked to help blow up a chantry dont do it again” but cassandra elbowed him really hard and he said “look ok your sentence is, fuck, i dunno, work for the inquisition. what do you wanna do”
that was not what mal was expecting and he didnt have an answer. and pica looked at him and said “ill give you some time to figure it out, ok. just. take care of yourself, man. u look like shit” which got him another elbow, which he returned to cass with equal force
anyway. mal is now officially Not Guilty in the court of the law. which fuckin sucks bc that assessment does absolutely NOTHING to stop his shit brain from keeping being guilty about everything. so he tries to quit drinking, fails, and just has a rough time in general, while also sometimes visiting anders in prison. which probably really doesn’t help.
ENTER WARDEN-COMMANDER OF FERELDAN, MADRANA “MAD” TABRIS, AND HER PARTNER/GF/ADULT SUPERVISION EMMARIE “EMMY” COUSLAND
(you may also know mads as hester, as i called her in previous playthroughs. hester’s not a really elfy name and shes grown far enough away from her namesake that i felt a change was warranted. also emmy was created by @1500birds. i love her)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
thats them (mads then emmy) so mad tabris, legendary fighter, unkillable blight-ender, bather in darkspawn blood, and general bottle covey is looking for a challenge. its been like ten years since shes had an actually hard battle to win and she’s near skyhold, and she’s heard that mal hawke, another legendary fighter, is also in the area. oh and some cadash guy. hes apparently good too. also, she’s looking for some way out of the whole grey warden death sentence thing. shes not keen on dying unless she’s killed, ydig, and apparently skyhold’s doing a lot of groundbreaking research these days
she and emmy swing on in to skyhold and finds that hawke is, well, a mess
important background. mads is not good at dealing with other peoples’ emotions. so shes not really equipped to deal with this. emmy, however, is kind, has nerves of steel, loves to help people, and is Very equipped to deal with this. and so the two of them adopt mal. (even though hes older than both of them.) 
theyve got really, really different ways of trying to help mal. emmy is a great listener, and understands survivor’s guilt and the lost-all-my-family brand of trauma pretty well. she helps him sort through all the shit that’s happened to him and offers a lot of support. and hugs. by god shes a hugger. also theyve got a symbiotic cuddling relationship bc emmy is always cold and mal is always warm, so they platonically nap together sometimes. mads is unfortunately too wriggly and pointy to be a good cuddler :’( she squeezes in the mix sometimes anyway though and it’s uncomfortable but nice
mads’s method of helping mal is in her area of expertise: getting out pent-up negative emotion by fighting. for a long time, mal has internalized a lot of shit, and mads is really good at annoying him into either yelling or punching out that shit. shes doing it out of concern for his well-being, she swears, and not because she takes joy in pissing people off. she does but thats not the point. it’s not a perfect strategy but it does help a lot
Tumblr media Tumblr media
unfortunately for her, sometimes mal can be downright vindictive when drunk and angry, and can hit on the few things she’s insecure about
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i would really love to make a post about mads sometime, cos she ended up being a lot deeper of a character than i originally intended. i really just wanted a really sharp angry lady who fought with the subtlety of a brick to the face, and ended up getting that plus bravado covering up a whole host of insecurities. i feel like i should finish dao before writing it up though ahah)
(what mal said is also not totally accurate- mads cares very much for emmy. but yknow how when things get heated it doesn’t really matter if they’re really accurate anymore- they just have to be close enough to get a reaction, ydig)
anyway! the two of them together help mal get his life back in order- he cuts down and eventually quits drinking, starts taking better care of himself, and gets more of a handle on life. i guess you’re probably wondering where varric is, right around now. so am i mal pushed away a lot of people close to him after da2, including varric. but varric kept looking out for him (lying to cassandra to protect him, using his network of contacts to keep an eye on where he and anders were operating). when mal comes to skyhold i think he’d try to avoid varric out of guilt- yknow how when it’s been a really long time since you’ve talked to someone, and you know you should have called them back, but you never did, and they kept asking how you were, and you want to be in an actually good place before you call them back, but shit keeps happening, and it’s been like two years since youve said anything to them, and then you see them and do some serious acrobatics trying to stay out of their sight so you don’t have to confront their honest interest in your well-being that they have no right to still have after so long with no word from you, and you have to make it seem like you havent been avoiding them because that would be rude, and really it’s just easier to be constantly vigilant of where they are and make sure youve got plausible reason to be leaving casually yet quickly
well mal did that. emmy had to physically bar his way from escaping a room once when varric came in, and dragged him by the scruff of the neck to talk to him. varric was painfully understanding and ended up hitting it off nicely with emmy
so! someday mal gets a job. specifically, pica gives him one. because he still owes the world some community service. with his experience as a hunter and highwayman, he becomes a scout!
Tumblr media
whoaaa color
more specifically, mal becomes a... specialized type of scout. some idiot who shall not be named but whose name sounds a whole lot like pica cadash gave him command of a small squad of scouts, heavier armored and armed than average inquisition scouts but not heavy enough to count as infantry soldiers. their job is to dismantle highwayman and rogue mercenary bands, in whatever way necessary. so! originally this was supposed to mean sneak attacks on their strongholds or whatever, but mal talked with him about his own experiences with crime (mostly that most people in his crew back then were in it out of necessity, and needed money to support family) and the squad kind of became. really heavy recruiters. it became kind of a joke that the inquisition would take anyone- and they would! practically any skillset could be used in an organization as big as the inquisition, and at this point it was still growing
like. barely any exaggeration here
Tumblr media
so that’s where he is pre-trespasser! thank u for reading and if youve got questions or want to learn more PLEASE ask i lov my ocs and love talking about them
i want to add that in @1500birds‘s latest playthrough (miranda trevelyan, a pro-chantry mage cullenmancer) mal rags on cullen endlessly
Tumblr media
that was supposed to be the playthrough where he survives the fade, but then bran realized that miranda would kinda hate mal and would 100% leave him behind

how i imagine the reputation stadium tour...
the lights cut out and then we start hearing snippets of old interviews
FETUS TAYLOR MAKES AN APPEARANCE as the screens start flashing through time and we hear her talk about her life and the people she’s dated
maybe we just hear interviewers and reporters going off about taylor swift’s reputation and “taylor swift is over” and all the typical headlines
the little creepy voices stop on someone saying “taylor swift has been MIA for months. what happened to her reputation?”
the big electronic sounds of ready for it go off and everyone shrieks
she pops up on stage right before the little throat clearing and we all scream and she has to pause and smile at us, and then to get going she clears her throat and then GOES OFF
baby let the games begin plays and then she goes into “i see how this is gonna go” again and she stops on “no one has to know...” and she does one of her instrumental breaks where she says something like “well hello there. *screams* my name is taylor. you may think you know me, but you don’t. you just know my reputation.”
*BOOM* IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIIIIIIIIGHT
straight into I WANNA BE YOUR END GAME
then she does a bunch of body rolls during BIG REPUTATION BIG REPUTATION
she’s either gonna bring future and ed along on tour OR she’ll have some other people to help her rap the verses or she’s just gonna go off and rap the verses herself (or itll get cut)
i got some big enemies HEY!
I SWEAR I DON’T LOVE THE DRAMA (IT LOVES ME!!!)
imagine all the male backup dancers during EYES ARE LIQUOR ITS LIKE YOUR BODY’S GOLD
*taylor monologues on her reputation and how she’s a serial dater*
suddenly the notes of our favorite serial dater come in and everyone’s cheering bc BOYS ONLYW ANT LOVE IF ITS TORTURE
except it isn’t the blank space we grew to love - this one is darker, maybe minor keyed, maybe more electronic than pop
cut to creepy video clips of taylor being crazy and seductive and intense
no one knows what’s happening but we’re all REALLY FREAKED OUT
then echoes of something start to play, and as it gets louder you can tell it’s a slowed down version of the RADADADADADADADADA DA DA DJAH DJAH....DJAH
SCREAMING
i did something bad starts and tay walks out in a new intense cloak kinda like the RFI video
she says “SHIT” kinda like a seductive harsh yell and everyone GOES OFF
before the bridge she goes into an instrumental segment as they set the tone
she appears center stage and starts chanting “THEYRE BURNING ALL THE WITCHES EVEN IF YOU AREN’T ONE”
little bits of pyro are used throughout the song but during each “LIGHT ME UP” they get bigger and more intense and the last one has taylor SCREAMING INTO THE MIC and she pulls one of her typical high notes and whips off the cloak and is wearing a super sexy red dress get-up and then she goes on to finish out the song with lots of pyro
which goes straight into don’t blame me and she basically just cat-walks around the stages and the male back-up dancers are going hard like when she did IKYWT
I GET SO HIGH OH! is harsh and gravely again
the back-up singers all go hard during this song to make it sound like a choir in the background and everyone’s sobbing bc taylor just took us to church
and of course
we’re all waiting for it
USING FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH
DO-IN IT RIGHT NO
taylor gets all giggly and runs off stage and the back-up singers go into the full out choir section to keep DBM going while taylor changes
the screen cuts once again to footage of old interviews and reporters speculating on taylor’s dating life
we see footage of paparazzi swarming her and her old boyfriends
we circulate through years of hell and trauma as we relive the first joe, taylor squared, haylor, hiddleswift, the dearest john
and then the footage fizzles out and cuts to iphone footage of taylor laughing about something (clearly filmed by joe)
then taylor appears on stage and starts “THIS AINT FOR THE BEST”
and everyone breaks down into tears
after delicate taylor gives a little speech about relationships and reputations and she ends with “so it goes, i guess...”
and the beat comes in for so it goes and she’s wearing a black dress and she gets super sultry with all her dancers
the audio engineers give her autotune on her mic and she starts doing serious dancing
catwalks that’s all i’m saying
maybe some booty drops?
but honestly baby who’s counting...*pause*
*screams*
1 2 3!
come here DRESSED IN BLACK NOW!
cut to black
footage on screen of taylor and calv*n and reporters yelling about rumors of them breaking up and stuff
then james comes on the speakers and goes “GORGEOUS” and everyone loses it
taylor pops up on stage wearing her new normal - a comfy shirt & pants & cute sneakers
guess i’ll just stumble on home to my cats...*crowd screaming alone* ALONE...unless you wanna come along? *pause* taylor looks at the crowd, we all scream, *DING* she goes to her really high OHHHHH
taylor monologues on fancying someone else and wanting to be a good person but needing to break up with someone
“i guess that’s why they say nothing good starts in a getaway car”
the last song before the swap to the bstage(s?)
taylor gets to the bstage and starts being all cute and talking about how she’s so happy and free now
*plays surprise song*
*plays call it what you want acoustically*
*monologues about love*
starts to play king of my heart on acoustic guitar - transitions into full out song
BABY ALL AT ONCE THIS IS ENOUGH - then it goes into the chorus again KING OF MY HEART LET ME SEE YOU JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP
I’LL NEVER LET YOU GOOO!
the ending instrumental goes on while tay disappears to change
cut to black again
more headlines and reporters going off about taylor & joe
a black piano rises to the stage and taylor sits there in a party dress and starts talking about life and love and being happy and how even though you want to be someone’s midnight kiss you also should want to give that person advil on new years day
alternatively: a monologue on memories and how she loves us so much
CRYING AND SCREAMING AND RIP ME
and then you hear the creepy beginning notes of dancing with our hands tied
piano mashup with i don’t wanna live forever? OR I KNOW PLACES?
the beat comes in at the chorus and everyone goes hard and i’m sobbing
YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH OH YEAH WE WERE DANCING
FIRST TIME
FIRST TIME!
OHHH
again cut to black, but this time the reporters are all talking about KIMYE and the trial and her bad blood and her squad and literally everything
and then WOOOOOOOHOOOOO
taylor’s back on stage in party clothes
TIWWCHNT
HERES A TOAST TO MY REAL FRIENDS!
cuz forgiveness is a nice thing to do...*pause* *screaming* taylor whispers into the mic “I can’t say it with a straight face”
THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE! THINGS!
everyone’s screaming and cheering and toasting and HERES TO MY REAL FRIENDS
transition into dress
SAY MY NAME AND EVERYTHING JUST *STOPS* *pause* *cheering & screams* *taylor smiles* I DON’T WANT YOU LIKE A BEST FRIEND
cut to black, more reporters, more iphone videos of taylor
the beginning of LWYMMD fades in
*screaming*
taylor walks out in a super sexy black getup and we all go hard for one last song
IM SORRY THE OLD TAYLOR CANT COME TO THE PHONE RIGHT NOW...WHY?...OH...CUZ SHE’S DEAD!!!!

800 Followers Inspire Forever
Tumblr media
it has been three days since i hit the last hundred; i am still working on the drabbles from 600; and now it is barely mid morning and this glorious event has occurred. i know i say it every single time, but it’s true: i literally cannot believe this has happened or is happening. it’s happening so quickly and im overwhelmed every single day. i feel so truly honored and blessed that people are still arriving at my blog, deciding they want to see more PCY/Hoseok meltdowns, and me drunkenly waxing poetic about My Guys. i appreciate every single one of you to actual infinity, and i dont have any words to describe how happy this makes me, or how amazed it makes me. 
SO instead of blathering everyone’s ear off about how crazy this is to me or how blessed it makes me feel; instead of doing a follow forever like i did for the first 500, im going to do something different. 
i want to do a kind of inspiration post where i detail the people here who inspire me to be better, both as a creative person and a general human, and the people who, even if they don’t follow me, manage their time here with grace, aplomb, and wild creativity. for each person listed, i will rec my fave things. that said, i would like to make clear i am not a fic recs blog and i will explain why below. 
LETS GET INTO IT
Tumblr media
ive actually only been in the kpop world since april, so when i tell you this is all happening crazy fast to me - i mean this is bonkers. but i spent a solid month in april reading the hell out of the fandom’s work. i think there was a good three weeks where i did nothing but tear through some masterlists, and i even stayed up an entire saturday night until 8AM finishing a fic. i dont have that much time anymore to read, though i try to. it takes me longer, especially because i dont read on days im writing, and summer traveling + weddings makes it hard. but i still read and i still follow posts and even though it takes me time, im still there. for this reason, i am not an adequate fic recs blog and im sure there is tons of content i will be missing. 
but these are the people/writers to inspire me everyday to push, and continue, and world build until the only reality i have is one filled with beauty and joy <3
bold | mutuals / italics | non-mutual whose writing i adore
@kpopfanfictrash - my duchess. her fic One Shot was the very first fic i ever read in the kpop fandom, and from there she has moved swiftly into being one of my closest friends; a soundboard for my fantasy worlds, a demon who feeds me tae pictures even when i dont need (or want) them, and a sister who listens to me vent when i am stressed. she is supportive, genuine, and kind, and inspires me daily to give back this same loving, positive energy. her mind bewilders me, how full it is of characters, worlds, and words. she is second to none and that is why she is first here.  Fic Rec: literally her entire masterlist is gold, but Addewid and No Strings are must reads that not only will have you falling in love with every character and world, but will show you just how versatile of a writer she is.
@kollectionn - after i read One Shot, i found Charred. i read charred, struck, and then her entire masterlist - in two days. two days. i re-read charred on the third, and then sent her an ask because i couldnt cope with how good it was and wanted to cry at someone about it. i thought shed be whatever about it, but she was kind. and then we started talking. and now we talk everyday, and i get to call her one of my best friends. i get really emotional when i talk about C because, to me, she is the epitome of good-ness. the heart she has, the imagination she has - unprecedented. she pushes me into whole magical worlds i never thought possible and i am blessed to have her in my life. Fic Rec: Charred but like, read Struck and Roots too. the entire Other World series is published book quality and its been a while since ive read a fantasy this interwoven and connected and VIVID.
@daegusoftboys - the first BTS fic i ever read was Long Forgotten Sons. i’m really not sure how i found it, only know that after shan started launching me down the BTS rabbit hole i found a sort of oasis fever dream of a zombie au and i devoured it all in about an hour. and then i got to talk to jo, and my whole life brightened. jo is so gentle and sweet - soft, but subtle in her wit and makes me die with laughter. im inspired by her mind daily, im inspired by her sweetness. i would walk through fire for her just to ensure she got to wave at yoongi. so open and gentle and bewilderingly creative, im so, so happy i get to call her my Aquarius Sister. Fic Rec: Long Forgotten Sons - literally AMAZING
@the-porcelain-doll-xo - seems only fitting that i devoured her masterlist after i found her PCY smut. my sister wife, my chogihoe, a real sister whom i adore to pieces. i didn’t know her at all, had never talked to her, but felt a strong affinity to her - the magnetic poles of the universe saying ‘you are both hoes and really should be friends.’ i love that she has over 300 biases because it makes sense - fal has so much love to give, i can’t fathom ever wanting to restrict it. i love that she understands my passion for PCYs ears - because they are perfect and there is one for both of us. i love that she is unwavering in her honesty and her bravery and her kindness. the world needs more of her, and im glad i get this one <3 Fic Rec: Across The Hall, At Large, and Touch
@nunchiwrites - after the EXO NJ show, i was shook to death. and through my random searches here, i found her account of her time at the gig and, thus, her masterlist. id already had an idea for a vampire story in my head, so i didnt actually start reading Devil’s Advocate until about a month into talking to her - and i really think im blessed. i got to read everything else she wrote, got to get to know her as a person and as an angel - literally, an angel, sent from heaven to make this earth a better place. i got to see her for who she is - my tiny queen, my little sister. my first writer friend here, one of my first friends here in general. im lucky and blessed to have her <3 Fic Rec: Devil’s Advocate but also Of Lemon Grass and French Vanilla
@xhixtape - i read her entire masterlist on a plane in june. this was not long after i had just discerned that hobi was my bias and, unless EXO came back, he was gonna be fighting PCY for ult status (he lost, but like...eh still trying). her writing did not help. every story is unique in its characterization and every story is so believable and human. having followed her for a while, there’s a genuineness to the way she runs her blog and writes her stories. i admire this, how open and kind she is. and as a hobihoe, im really grateful that she keeps my ass well fed even if she doesn’t know it.  Fic Rec: View From 4-B - this entire universe is golden
@1honeypot - do you want me to wax poetic about Dépaysement for an hour? because i can? tbh, i started this because hobi and also i speak french, so i thought this was a francais kind of thing. stayed because 1) it’s literally amazing 2) the characters real, genuine, human, and hilarious 3) because the universe itself is filled to the brim with characters who are so unique and not cardboard cutouts of background scenery (lmao im not witty) that the world feels textured and rich Fic Rec: obviously Dépaysement - educate yourselves
@imdifferentshadesofpurple - a queen, a goddess divine. only recently have been lucky enough to call her a friend and collaborator (hello cartel, yes we see you!). mo is a literal, actual angel. someone i cannot believe is real. how she finds time in her day to do all the things she does PLUS be engaged, supportive, chatty, open, im constantly amazed. every time i talk to her, im filled with positive energy and a desire to push myself to accomplish more. shes a queen, a literal queen. Fic Rec: The Bone Witch - i binged this last week and im shaken to the core
other writers and people who inspire me and push me to live my best life include:
@pebble-xo (please read soulmate au alone because its iconic, and she also is a goddess made of kindness <3) @ellieljade @rapmonluv @kimnamwho (BABY GIRL YOU IS A WRITER NOW) @kpopandlock (you is an inspiration dont even pretend) @rudeboywonho (READ HER JINYOUNG TIME LORD OH MY HEAVENS TO BETSY, also she is a wife of mine and i love her so much i can hardly cope) @suhotrashanon (my OTHER wife, i never said i wasnt a hoe) @suho-mochi @chanyeolspout and @soobadnoonecanstopher
everyone listed here, plus more, inspires me every single day in some way. it doesnt matter if they are mutuals or not, they deserve recognition for their talents, their kindness, and their willingness to give their imagination to the world. creating content is difficult - remaining positive is even more difficult. if the only thing you get out of this long post is some great stories to read - hurray! but pay attention to the people behind the blogs, because they are incredible too.
i want to thank every single person (all 811 of you, two more arrived while writing this HELLO FRIENDS) for clicking follow on my blog. i hope i can continue to to keep your dash fun, positive, and filled with love. you are all special, meaningful, and beautiful. please treat yourselves with kindness, today and always <3
