collection: Before It All

pairing: yeji x irya

genre: sapphic romance, feminist comedy

rating: general

✧ author's note ✧

ok so like,,, you know when you're just vibing and then BAM you see the prettiest girl ever and your brain goes completely offline?? yeah that's basically yeji's entire existence when she meets irya 😭✧

honestly this started because i was like "what if we took the biggest chaotic dumbass anarchist and made her fall for literal elle woods but make it spicy" and then these two just ran away with my whole heart?? like yeji is out here thinking she's so tough with her combat boots and chains but then irya shows up in her pink sweater and suddenly our girl's just like "step on me with your kitten heels ma'am"

major inspo was obviously marceline x princess bubblegum (adventure time my beloved!!) and kuromi/my melody vibes because like?? the AESTHETIC?? plus i'm a huge sucker for the whole "tough punk falls for pretty princess but plot twist the princess is actually scarier" trope

also can we talk about how feminism doesn't have a dress code?? like you can fight the patriarchy in docs or designer shoes, throw hands in leather or lace, whatever floats your boat bestie!! these two are literally my way of saying "fuck gender roles but also fuck anyone who says you can't be feminine AND a badass"

basically this is just me throwing my favorite disaster lesbians into a coffee shop and watching chaos ensue. yeji thinks she's a badass until irya smiles at her and then she's just gay pudding 😩✧ we love to see it

⭑ with love, kiki (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡

♡ ⋆ ୭ ┉┅━━✶━━┅┉ ୭ ⋆ ♡

Yeji sees her across the quad and her first thought is: Fuck.

She doesn’t mean to stare. Really, she doesn’t. But it’s kind of hard not to when the girl looks like a literal ray of sunshine in her pastel pink sweater, soft blonde curls dancing around her shoulders as she laughs at something her friend said.

Yeji shakes her head, trying to refocus on the task at hand. She didn’t come to this protest to ogle pretty girls, even if said pretty girl has the kind of smile that could probably cure cancer or some shit. No, Yeji is here for a reason—to raise hell and make sure the university knows that cutting funding for the Women’s Studies department is not going to fly. Not on her watch.

She double checks the chain around her wrist, making sure it’s secure. The plan is simple: chain herself to the doors of the dean’s office until they agree to restore the funding. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Except, apparently, chaining yourself to school property is considered “destruction of university assets” and “disturbing the peace” or whatever. So now, instead of righteously raging against the machine, Yeji is bent over the hood of a police car, handcuffs digging into her wrists as she curses under her breath.

“Are you the dumbass who chained herself to the dean’s office door?”

Yeji’s head snaps up at the voice, sugar sweet but with an unmistakable edge of ‘I’m not impressed.’ It’s Pink Sweater Girl, looking down at her with a mix of concern and exasperation, perfectly manicured nails tapping impatiently against her clipboard.

“Depends,” Yeji says, aiming for nonchalance despite her current predicament. “Are you the student government rep they called to deal with me?”

“I’m the Communications major who now has to explain to the dean why our department shouldn’t be defunded just because some idiot decided to cosplay Riot Grrrl Barbie.”

Yeji can’t help but grin at that, even as the cuffs dig deeper into her wrists. “Riot Grrrl Barbie?” That’s cute. “I was going more for Anarchist Bratz, but I can work with that.”

Pink Sweater Girl’s lips twitch, like she’s fighting back a smile. Up close, Yeji can see the name on her Student Government ID badge—Irya Patel, VP. It suits her, Yeji thinks. Pretty and powerful.

“You do realize this little stunt could get you expelled, right?” Irya asks, perfectly shaped eyebrow arched.

Yeji shrugs as best she can in her current position. “Worth it. They can’t just slash funding for an entire department because some crusty old men think feminist theory is too ‘radical.’ Someone had to take a stand.”

Irya sighs, the sound somehow both delicate and deeply exhausted. She looks at Yeji like she’s seeing something that’s equal parts intriguing and infuriating.

“Okay, Braveheart, here’s the deal,” she says finally, stepping closer. Her perfume is florally sweet but with a hint of something spicy, and Yeji finds herself wanting to test her capsaicin tolerance. “I’ll convince them to drop the charges and keep this little incident off your permanent record. In return, you promise to engage the two brain cells I know are rattling around in that pretty head of yours before your next act of rebellion. Deal?”

“No promises on the thinking part,” Yeji says with a cheeky grin. “But if you’re going to be my knight in shining pastel armour, the least I can do is buy you a coffee after. You know, to say thanks for saving my academic ass.”

Irya blinks, clearly caught off guard. “Are you…are you asking me out? While handcuffed to a cop car?”

“Is that a no?”

“It’s a ‘you’re an idiot,’” Irya says, but there’s a definite hint of a smile playing at the corners of her glossy lips now. “Give me an hour to sort out this mess you’ve made. Then we’ll talk about that coffee.”

True to her word, Irya gets the charges dropped with a smile, a flutter of her lashes, and a voice that drips with sweetness even as she systematically dismantles every argument the dean tries to until he’s practically apologizing to Yeji for arresting her. It’s a masterclass in manipulation that has Yeji’s black rotting heart beating faster.

An hour later, they’re sitting in the campus coffee shop, Irya primly sipping a vanilla latte while Yeji tries not to stare at the way her lips leave little imprints on the foam.

“So,” Yeji says, breaking the silence. “Communications major, huh? Figures. You’ve got a tongue that could convince the devil to go to church.”

Irya smiles, soft and wicked all at once. “Flatterer.”

“Just calling it like I see it,” Yeji says with a shrug before taking a sip of her own coffee—black and bitter enough to match her mood most days.

Irya tilts her head slightly, studying Yeji in that way that makes her feel both exposed and oddly flattered. “You know,” she says slowly, “you’re not entirely wrong about one thing.”

“Oh? And what’s that?”

“I think,” Irya says slowly, each word measured, “that you’re an idiot with more guts than sense. But you’re the kind of idiot who’s going to change the world someday. If you don’t get yourself expelled first, of course.”

“No promises,” Yeji says, holding up three fingers in a mock salute. “But for you, princess, I’ll try to keep the felonies to a minimum this semester.”

“How obedient,” Irya smiles, and Yeji kind of wants to die. “I suppose I should say thank you. For standing up for the department, even if your methods were…unorthodox.”

Yeji shrugs, gaze flickering to her coffee. “Yeah, well. Couldn’t let the man keep us down, could I? Smashing the patriarchy waits for no one and all that.”

Irya is silent for a moment. Looks at her with narrowed eyes. Then she nods, decisive, and reaches for Yeji’s hand.

Yeji stills, hardly daring to breathe as Irya’s perfectly manicured fingers wrap around her wrist, right where the cuffs had been. She turns Yeji’s hand over and presses something into her palm.

“What—”

“My number,” Irya says, releasing her with a smile that’s almost shy. “For the next time you decide to fight the power. Maybe give me a heads up first so I can bail you out before the cuffs come out, though. Not that I’m opposed to cuffs in general, of course. But I prefer mine with a bit more…padding.”

With that bombshell dropped, Irya stands, smoothing her skirt and shouldering her designer bag like she didn’t just make Yeji’s heart stutter.

“I’ve got a Women’s Student Association meeting to get to. But this was…fun. Don’t be a stranger, Anarchist Bratz, yeah?”

Then she’s gone in a cloud of expensive perfume and the click of kitten heels, leaving Yeji slack-jawed and clutching a napkin with ten neatly penned digits like it’s the holy grail or something.

“Fuck,” Yeji breathes to the empty chair across from her. “I think I’m in love.”

And okay, maybe it’s not love quite yet. But as she sits there, tracing the looping cursive of Irya’s number, Yeji knows one thing for sure.

Black combat boots and pink pearls are a good combination.

i wanted to try compiling opinions on my gravity falls tea blends, if just for personal reference!

the blends i’ve made are dipper, mabel, stan, ford, the author, the mystery shack, and ford (alt). looking at it now i’m like, wow i made three separate ford blends isn’t that overkill, but y’know what it’s fine

people’s reviews:

there are customer reviews on the listings themselves, just click through to specific blends!

mabel, dipper, stan, ford, the author, the mystery shack, and ford (alt)

stan

ford (alt)

i might be missing some in posts/replies/tags on tumblr, but can’t find em rn

and here are my own reviews/opinions. i don’t do much with steeping times (3-7 minutes or whenever i finally remember i’ve been steeping tea) and sometimes i leave the tea leaves in the cup ‘till the end of time, so it’s whatever. i always add sugar though, and occasionally add milk if the tea’s strong enough for it

mabel

my original review post

my review on the listing says, “it reminds me so much of bubblegum that i almost want to rename it that [...] while i already tend to let loose leaf teas steep in the cup forever i'd actually go out of my way to recommend it for this one; it lets the fruit come through a little better. and ofc, bubblegum is nothing without sugar, so please add sugar.”

my impression since then: adding sugar is correct. also this blend originally had sprinkles, and while i still support that decision, i removed it because sprinkles leave a bit of oil (?) in the tea when they melt-- not the best look for a light tea like this

dipper

my tiny review answer

i remember this one being a nice light fruit tea, but i’m reordering it for an updated opinion! if you don’t like slightly-sour fruit teas, though, you won’t like this one. also, steep it forever, the flavor is pretty light otherwise, and personally both dipper and mabel’s blends taste better iced

update, turns out it’s even better with sugar and milk! i just never had milk on hand when i last tried it so i couldn’t confirm until now. with milk it turns into a nice, warm, vaguely fruity tea that i’m a big fan of

the mystery shack

my tiny review answer

i remember this one as a “whenever” tea that wasn’t too light or too heavy, but i’m reordering it for an updated opinion. no milk, just sugar

stan

my original review post (my impressions of dipper and ford there are obsolete, i redid those blends since that post)

my impression since then: he’s still perfect

make sure to add sugar. and optionally milk. and blow a kiss at that mug, why not

ford

i’m ordering it again to give an updated opinion! from what i remember, the lapsang souchong was a Little much for me, even after editing it down. which is like... very fitting. secretly i call this the portal ford blend, especially with an extra-smoky spoonful of tea leaves, but i cannot let myself get into eras.

i wonder what high school/college ford’s blend would be like though

ford (alt)

my review on the listing says, “Now this is the sweet Ford tea I've been looking for. I steeped it for 4-5 minutes, drank it hot with cream and sugar, then drank it iced with cream and sugar, and it's about as delicious as Ford looks.”

i’m gonna level with you, i just wanted to say the phrase “as delicious as ford looks”. like it’s true i like the tea but i also wanted specifically to say it

i drank it again today (with milk and sugar, of course) and yep, i still like it. i would’ve done the whole plain tea -> tea with sugar -> tea with sugar and milk progression taste-test, but i did that thing where i microwave a bit of milk in a mug, pour the tea leaves in, and fill the rest of the mug with hot water and let it all steep. so. pretty creamy though.

the author

my original review post (my impressions of dipper and ford there are obsolete, i redid those blends since that post)

my impression since then: while i wasn’t impressed with it initially, the more i drank of it the more i came to like it?? almost similar to how i felt abt researcher ford himself

when i brewed this in college i liked to dump the loose leaves into a mug, pour in hot water, wait ~5 min, and add in sugar and milk. i’d drink some while waiting for the shuttle, then put the rest in the fridge (i know it was still hot when i put it in the fridge and that i’m Not supposed to do that, but my fridge was basically empty in college so it’s Fine) and dash out to go to class

i’d come back from class and bam, i’ve got iced tea that’s been steeping for 4-5 hours! the flavors really settle in with the milk, the tea leaves really settle in to the bottom... perfect. drink that chilled delight up in a sweltering hot room and stay awake for the next 12 hours because i put the most coffee-ish tea into the author blend that i could find

it’s pretty much a caffeine boost, making it more like a tea that ford would drink (if for whatever reason he ran out of coffee), and less a tea that represents him

i don’t consider it an everyday tea for me because it feels a tad more dry than other teas (i attribute that to the blood orange) and that’s why i always made sure to add milk, but, drinking tea often already tends to dry me out. how do regular tea-drinking people do it

and here’s my reasoning for the teas in case you’re like “i don’t get you sovo how could these possibly fit these characters”:

dipper

passionfruit: the boy’s dedicated to solvin’ those mysteries

sour apple: dipper is sometimes a sour apple and that’s Okay

lemon grass: i can’t really explain this one except that you know how there’s that like, lemony plant stalk you’d sometimes see kids chewing in elementary school, and it’s kind of a childhood thing for me?? also it goes with the other sour tastes in this blend

blueberry: it’s in his color palette

fruit tea aspect: to match with his twin!

mabel

watermelon cooler: watermelon’s just such a fresh, pink, summery fruit! also, that mabel sweater that one time

wild strawberry: the description on the site gave off a sugary sweet dessert vibe and those are Definitely mabel vibes

spearmint: i wanted something with a brightness and glow about it-- also once in taiwan i had tea with a minty cooling effect to it and i loved that, it was perfect for hot summer weather. i’ve been searching for it forever because i remember nothing about what it looked like, just the flavor

rose petals: summer romance aesthetic

strawberry pieces: i wanted more pink, more color, and i think that’s something mabel would appreciate. also i love eating those little re-hydrated fruit pieces in tea

fruit tea aspect: to match with her twin!

stan

rooibos caramel: stan’s heart is like a block of caramel... kinda tough when you start out, but as it warms up it gets sticky sweet and tends to wanna stick to you. i heard from the reviews on the caramel teas that the rooibos version is slightly sweeter than the black tea version, and i wanted the sweetest caramel so i went with rooibos

mambo: i heard smoky, savory, succulent, and rich and slammed that “add to blend” button

lapsang souchong: oh “smoky aroma”? oh “sweet pine flavor”? oh “sometimes gets a bad rep for being brashly smoky”? come on into this blend please

ginger: it’s kinda sharp, a little dividing, and a little too much for some people

lapsang souchong & ginger: to match with his twin!

ford

assam melody: “deep, burgundy-red”? “solid, ‘friendly’”? come be a base in this blend please

pu erh hazelberry: i knew i wanted pu erh for the earthiness, i just wasn’t sure which; i went with this one because it’s the most appealing dessert-like one of the ones i looked at, and You Know ford’s got a sweet tooth

lapsang souchong: partly to match with stan on the whole smoky pine aspect, and partly because ford shaves with fire and in fact, regularly plays with fire

cocoa nibs: it kinda complements the hazelberry & he needs a touch more than stan

ginger: similar to my reason for stan’s

lapsang souchong & ginger: to match with his twin!

the author

assam melody: provides the same character base as ford’s blend

toasted mate: i hear this is the closest you can get to coffee-levels of caffeine in a tea, and i needed that bc this is researcher ford we’re talking about

blood orange: blood splatter in the journal, anyone? splish splash

cinnamon: a dash of cinnamon goes into the cure for zombies, and also into this tea

ford (alt)

earl grey bravo: it’s a black tea base so i don’t stray too far from the original blend, a dash of grey, and a classic that always gave me a “refined” kinda vibe. i never used to think much of earl grey and took some time to come around, which is in line w my experience w ford. the citrus is almost a tie to the author blend,, blood orange becoming just orange

rooibos caramel: i needed to feed my sweet tooth and i'm pretty sure ford would support this decision

gunpowder: because gunpowder, but also because it adds a hint of smokiness that provides a similar-but-different alternative to the previous lapsang souchong. toned down and a little mellowed out, if you will.

cocoa nibs: a tie to the original blend that now complements the caramel

ginger: the ginger-and-caramel is what he shares with stan now, and i love that

the mystery shack

green rooibos key west: just west of weird, amiright??? also it’s got a bunch of summer-y fruit flavors, and the shack probably gets the majority of its business in the summer

earl grey moonlight: i was thinking about stargazing on the roof of the mystery shack and the moon turning into bill's eye, and stan working on the portal in the cover of night

pu erh dante: oh “soft earthy flavor”? “woodsy tones”?? “clean, damp forest aroma, dried mushrooms, leather and earth”??? yes thank you

orange peels: one thing i super associate w the mystery shack is all that arrow-shaped signage and all those yellow-orange question marks. so... yellow-orange bits of orange peel, acting as pops of color to guide your money outta your wallet

The Top 10 Celebrity-Inspired Halloween Hairstyles

Sometimes—OK, most of the time–coming up with a Halloween costume is a difficult process. You stare at your closet, hoping something inspires you, or scroll through Pinterest for a few hours, grimacing at every done-before idea. And then, if you’re anything like us, you just throw together a makeshift outfit and call it a day, promising yourself that you’ll try again next year.

Yeah, we’ve been there. But instead of being blah and boring this year, grab your inspiration from a hairstyle. As long as you can rock your hair, the rest of the outfit will quickly fall in line behind it. So we found the best celebrity hairstyles that can be turned into surprisingly quick and easy costumes. And yes, we gave you a bunch of costume ideas, too, because we’re nice like that. Click through to get inspired!

Big, Voluminous Curls With a curly ‘do, you can throw on a glamorous dress, carry a glammed-out baby doll and BAM: you’re Beyonce!. Or go full ‘80s and belt “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” into a plastic microphone, a la Whitney Houston, until your friends beg you to stop. (No cultural appropriation, please). Not feeling the celeb vibes? Brush out your curls, tease the hell out of them, and layer with a full can of Aquanet to make a quick hair-metal bandmate.

Teased Bump Wing your eyes with black liquid liner, throw on a pink sweater and go as a roller-rink girl. Or cover your body with bronzer, back-comb the hell out of your hair, and BOOM, you’re Snooki. Not a very relevant Halloween costume, but hey, you can’t always reinvent the wheel.

Crown Braids This Heidi-style braid isn’t just for milkmaids. Got a tiara? Tuck it into the braid, buy a cheap tulle skirt, and you’re a fairy princess. Or, if you happen to have his and hers lederhosen (who doesn’t?) and a willing companion, you’re halfway to a quick Hansel and Gretel duo.

‘60s-Inspired Updo Combine this hair with thick navy eye liner and a short shift dress to transform yourself into Mad Men’s Megan Draper. You can also pull a classic Halloween move and pair your favorite little black dress with a tiara and elbow-length gloves for a very Breakfast at Tiffany’s look.

Pageant Curls Wear a sparkly dress, carry a microphone, and you’re either Carrie Underwood today, or Taylor Swift circa 2010. Or, you know, be any one of the Miss America contestants.

Long Braid Two words: Katniss Everdeen. Buy a plastic bow and arrow, dress up in some black wilderness gear, and you’re essentially the chosen one. Or create two pigtail braids and pair them with a black, long-sleeved dress for a Wednesday Adams vibe.

Soft and Shiny Waves Pair this hairstyle with a red carpet-worthy gown to channel the Hollywood siren of your choosing, past or present. Or, top your royal blowout with a tiara to mimic Kate Middleton. Make sure to add the sensible shoes to round out the look.

Blunt Bangs Add tortoiseshell specs and an uncanny ability to be quirky all the time, and you’re basically Zooey Deschanel as New Girl‘s Jess (or, just Zooey Deschanel always). You can also buy some cheap, brightly colored hair extensions, swipe on a bubblegum-pink lip, slide into a crazytown outfit, and transform yourself into Nicki Minaj. And, of course, the easiest of easy: Add thick kohl liner for a Cleopatra look.

Sky-High Ponytail Pair this look with gauzy harem pants, stick on a few jewels to your skin, and go as a genie. Or channel Gabby Douglas and loop the tail of your hair through a scrunchie and get as close as you’ll ever be to feeling like an Olympic gymnast. (No drunken round-offs, please).

Faux (or Real!) Bob Curl the ends of your hair to get a Marilyn Monroe or Jackie Kennedy look, or straighten the hell out of your hair, thrown on oversize-sunglasses and an icy glare and call yourself Anna Wintour. If you don’t actually have short hair, and you’re not feeling the night-long wig life, fake a bob by rolling and pinning the ends of your hair to the nape of your neck with bobby pins and hairspray.
