can you pleeeeease post your dm sexuality/gender hcs on here.... đ„ș i don't have a twitter but i wanna know. it's like a pandora's box to me now i'm like scratching at the door. let me in
heres the link 2 the thread (mild spoilers btw) ill post a transcript under the cut for ppl who dont have twitter
first off i think laios relationship to sex is super removed for like 50 reasons without even getting into his actual sexuality
he grew up in a place with very repressed ideas about sex and has a lot of fear about asserting his presence in situations
his special interest takes precedent over any social interactions he has and the level of closeness he feels towards people
he has a hard time figuring out his feelings towards other people both bc hes autistic and bc he has freaky deviantart fetishes that make sex in his mind a very abstract concept <- this one is me projecting mostly
that aside, i feel like gender-wise hes attracted to ppl so infrequently it may as well be entirely case-by-case
the idea of him being gay appeals to me from the 'raised with traditional values he Does Not fit into/hasnt begun to question it yet' perspective, i lauve characters who put a lot of stock into performing a role thats expected of them and fail miserably for unknown (gay) reasons
from his perspective tho i dont think he would ever really label himself anything. hes going to pride parades in the shirt+shorts Ally Fit to clap for his friends
hes also 'cis by indifference' imo... i love tmasc laios hcs it just doesnt mesh w his personal history to me. i do think hes got some kind of therian gender thing going on (not trans or nb but a secret third thing) but i cant see him changing anything abt his appearance/pronouns to accommodate that post-canon. hes just doin his thang
falin is in a similar boat for gender. i LOOVE tfem falin but the village repression thing has been bugging at me so i dont think i subscribe to it anymore (canon purist sorry) BUT if u hold that hc i am clapping and cheering regardless
instead i was propagandised to a while back and i LOVEEE the idea that being fused w a male dragon and the residual traits she has after being revived have given her a type of gender euphoria she didnt realise she was missing. a little boygirl swagger if u will
sexuality-wise i also dont think she would care to label herself, shes a lesbian by virtue of only being interested in One woman and zero other people. without marcille i do think shes still exclusively attracted to women, and i like to imagine she might experiment around a bit during her travels post-canon (pre-relationship). hearing abt it might put marcille on the news though
marcille is very simple That is a transfem lesbian. she cant get pregnant, shes obsessed w being femme and all that combined w her half-tallman struggles to be seen as 'properly feminine' by elf standards reads very transfeminine to Me. also her bookboy crush REEKS of comphet its not subtle
i think a more comfortable marcy might have the space to experiment w being elf butch like her manga boys but thats mainly self indulgence for me. utena could have saved her
senshi is gay his whole thing is abt not being able to perform dwarven masculinity to a proper standard (soft hearted, not as strong or rugged as his peers) which is like gaycoding 101. also hes a bear. homosexuality be damned by boy can work a grill
adding onto this i rly think senshi got some type of euphoria from being an elf in the changeling chapters. he was feeling himself so much i think he was using it as an outlet to have fun being a little fem and fruity without needing to justify it. do u understand
i dont have any particular opinions abt him gender-wise beyond that. his bulge is an essential part of his character design but i also saw a transmasc senshi a couple days ago that made me nod my head thoughtfully so i could go either way
chilchuck is cis and bisexual this is just canon. not even just his old man crush on senshi altho i do think thats very funny but they put his ass on a cover themed like hes in a dating sim with all the men and women in the cast and then slapped it in front of a chapter called "bicorn". i simply cant pass up that kind of overt signaling. its so fucking funny what else is there to say truly
izu to ME is a transmasc aroace lesbian (this one has the least basis in canon i just know it to be true) shes a little genderfluid with it nd uses he/she i think. i like to imagine she consistently uses masculine personal pronouns to refer to herself either way tho (boku, ore)
i think izutsumis gender/sexuality is entirely secondary in priorities to her body dysphoria. she has a lot of learning and acceptance 2 do before that kind of self discovery is on the docket and in my mind eschewing gender on some level is part of that. get sillay
shuro is cishet but at least he feels bad about it. next listen listen to me i dont think he would ever actually examine this but i need u to put on ur tin foil hat with me for one second. i think estrogen could have saved her. i have more thoughts on this but im not gonna propagandise too much on this post just know that im right
kabru is a transmasc bisexual this is also practically text. his whole thing of being treated like a doll by milsiril to put in pretty dresses, plus i think it would be pretty easy for him to stealth in the west since tallmen are seen as inherently more masculine than elves
(i also think changing genders is just more common for elves. theyre androgynous enough that it wouldnt be hard and like who in their right miiiiind would be the same gender for 500 years. dwarves too)
i think he started presenting as male socially in the west but didnt need to consider medical transition until he moved to a more mixed culture where other races might see him as a woman
i dont have to explain the bisexual part. have u seen him
namari is a butch bisexual this is just canon straight up. shes not transmasc but i think the default settings for dwarven women is like 4 years of T regardless. shes a hit at all the local cruising spots despite her renfaire nerdisms i know this
and just bc im thinking abt em kiki and kaka are identical and kiki is tfem :} theyre both attracted to women but kaka is a sub so i forgive him
THATS ALL 4 NOW theres a lot of characters so i cant have thoughts abt all of them at once but i hope this was good. im right about everything forever as per usual

Later that day
I hate him: heyâŠjust checking in that I got home safely what are u up to?
I blinked, fingers tightening around my phone before I locked it, leaving the message on unread. My motherâs shuffling outside my door caught my attention, bringing a smile onto my lips as I watched her struggle while bringing all the dirty laundry to the bathroom. Then, I got off my bed to go help her.
Friday (11:30 am)
I hate him: i see u still havenât checked my message⊠nothing too worrisome u certainly know how to make a man yearn for you lol that was a jokeâŠdont freak out on me pls (lowkey true tho)
Friday (12:50 pm)
I hate him: lol, wooyoung has been bitching about seulgiâs professor for half an hour now mr. kwon u know him? i meanâŠi suppose he also teaches u i should take a sneaky video for uâŠwooyoung looks like a clown hanging upside down my bed and pouting like a damn child too (dont say im also one, thanks)
Friday (15:26 pm)
I hate him: wellâŠik my messages are going through so uh⊠why tf are u ignoring me???! *cries and dies in loneliness* entertain me dollll!!! im so bored pls ohâŠu said u had an important assignmentâŠi bet uâre busy with that sorry for spamming u (text back tho when uâre done, im dying hereâŠwooyoung is with seulgi and so is seonghwa with hongjoongâŠthe single life sucks, bestieâŠlets be single and depressed together<3)
My jaw clenched as I heaved a long sigh, falling back on my bed as the sun shone brightly through my open window, the light breeze making me shiver as I only wore a t-shirt and sweats. Autumn was slowly turning into winter; the weather wasnât so warm anymore. I threw another look at my phone, unlocked it, and stared at the received messages from Mingi for a second before finally deciding to delete them from my notification center, rolling over in bed to muffle a frustrated scream into my soft, and purple, pillow.
           Saturday (9:09 am)
I hate him: i had the weirdest dream and im not even sure i want to tell u about it LOL but uhâŠa grisly was chasing me??? and then u appeared on a fucking white horse like a prince LOL and threatened to likeâŠslay it if it didnt leave me alone??? honestlyâŠwhat a slay, bestie good morning, btw, doll hope u had a better nightâs sleep than me (and dreamed of me ehehehe)
           Saturday (17:40 pm)
I hate him: i cant believe i allowed myself to be fooled like this back in highschool yuyu and i used to play baseball for shits and giggles and hongjoong (that rich prick) rented a whole ass baseball field for us for the afternoon and let us play with some of his (rich af) friends and uh⊠i think i wont be able to walk straight for another week with how much running i did⊠hongjoong kept scoring homerunsâŠi wish yuyu was here to kick his loser ass (dont tell hwa or hong i said that PLS) yo dollâŠeverythingâs alright with u? uh uâŠreally havent answered me since⊠ykâŠi stayed over and waited for the rain to stop⊠have i done something wrong?
I sighed and put my phone on âdo not disturbâ, suddenly having lost all of my appetite as I forced the rest of the lettuce down my throat. My mother was sipping her kiwi and apple smoothie, eyes narrowed as she muttered to herself while trying to memorize the recipe of a dessert for later. Desserts were never her forte, unfortunately.
âIs it Seulgi?â She asked absentmindedly as I took a large gulp of my own smoothie, staring down at my salad, steak pushed to the side in my plate.
âHuh?â I asked distracted, eyes still glued to the dark screen of my phone.
âTexting you, your phone keeps buzzing, my starlight.â I rolled my eyes at the nickname, but didnât bother to comment on it. I took a peek at my mother and her eyes were narrowed at me already, video on YouTube paused. Fuck, I had to answer her now or else sheâd pester me all day long. And that would be a nightmare.
âYeah, itâs Seulgi.â I lied, trying to make my voice sound convincing.
âWell, answer her then, donât be rude.â My mother chastised me, pressing play on her video again, pursing her lips as she shook her head at whatever the man baking was saying.
âLater.â I whispered, biting my lower lip as my eyes remained glued to my phone, stomach clenching and heart dropping.
But I couldnât.
           Sunday (1:01 am)
I hate him: âŠyouâre ignoring me, arent u? im sorry, y/n, i dont know what i did wrong, but we can talk about it weâre friends, after allâŠright?
ăWhen you came along, I knew what was wrong
If you want to know exactly what I've missedă
           Monday (present time)
           It truly would have been a missed opportunity if Seulgi and I wouldnât have grabbed coffee and went to sit in our usual spot in the back garden. The campus of our University was huge and that was perfect, because it meant people migrated and didnât stay in one spot for longâat least long enough to irritate me to no end. Last week deemed to be rather rough, and I still didnât feel like completely myself. To be honest, I thought about staying home todayâand for the rest of the weekâbut I couldnât afford missing any of my classes as exam period was slowly nearing, and so, I had to force my ass out of the house this morning before my mother could come and nag me about my weirdly unusual broody mood that has been going on for the past few days.
I hummed as I took a sip of my sweet coffee, enjoying the taste of warm caramel as Seulgi sighed loudly next to me, both hands cupped around her own coffee cup. The scent of cinnamon wafted from her cup and I scrunched up my nose, not too fond of the ingredientâs smell. Our classes started early in the morning today and weâd be here for at least four more hours, caffeine seemed like our only hope to stay awake and aware at this point. Given the fact that my baffling thoughts kept me up all night yesterday, I felt grateful that I was still on my feet at two oâclock at noon. As Seulgi fidgeted again, I chuckled and finally turned my head to look at her. She had a sheepish look on her face, and I tried not to laugh as I knew she was bursting to tell me all about her date with Wooyoung on Saturday.
âWell,â I started as I took a sip of my coffee, prolonging the suspense for her, âhow did your date go?â
âIt was amazing!â I had barely finished asking as Seulgi exclaimed, her cheeks turning rosyâand it wasnât due to the cold air, âWooyoung isâeverything I thought he would be. Heâs sweet and up for anything, he makes me laugh until I feel like passing out, and thereâs just never a dull moment with him, you know?â
âOne would expect that from him.â I muttered against my cup, laughing as Seulgi nudged my side, not looking too happy with my comment, âOh, come on, it would be hard for Wooyoung to be different than the way he mostly presents himself; donât you think?â
Seulgi grumbled something against her cup as she lightly bit into the carton, shooting me a pointed stare, âWell, yes, butâŠhe makes me happy. Treats me well and all that, you know, heâs the perfect embodiment of what a boyfriend should be like.â
âBoyfriend, huh?â I teased with a smirk, wriggling my eyebrows at my best friend as her cheeks flushed an even darker color as she bit her lower lip, trying to mask the huge grin expanding on her lips. But as soon as I started giggling, Seulgi also broke out in a fit of giggles, hiding herself behind her wavy hair, pressing her cup of coffee against her face.
âGod, Iâm so down bad for him, Y/N, I donât think youâd understand.â She mused, voice airy as she threw her head back, leaning back against the back of the bench. I chuckled and took another sip of my drink.
âMaybe Iâd do.â I muttered, memories of my relationship with Yunho resurfacing. Thankfully, however, I managed to repress them as quickly as they came. They didnât feel so gut-wrenching anymore, and to my surprise, didnât leave a bitter taste in its wake either. What has changed? Certainlyâcertainly getting closer to his best friend didnât influence the way I feel about Yunho, right? Right.
âSo,â I glanced at Seulgi from the corner of my eyes as she swung her legs, looking down at her feet in the process, âhow are you?â
âFine, why?â I asked confused, angling my body to face Seulgi better.
âYouâve beenâŠdistant the whole weekend. I could barely reach you.â Seulgiâs voice sounded small and I gulped, feeling bad for making her worry about me, âYou knowâŠthe last time you pulled away and disappeared, it was bad.â
âI promise you I am doing completely fine, Seulgi, youâd be the first person to know if I was in a bad headspace again, alright?â I reached out and grabbed her hand, squeezing it reassuringly. Seulgi sighed and then raised her head to look at me, lips pulled into a thin line.
âPromise?â
âOf course, I promise.â I smiled at her warmly and she hummed in contentment, squeezing my hand back as she took a sip of her coffee. I followed suit before removing my hand from hers to fiddle with my half empty cup, âIâm just dealing with some things right now. I think Iâm confused.â
âAbout what?â Seulgi asked curiously, leaning closer as I continued to avoid eye contact with her.
âIâll tell you once I have my thoughts sorted about it.â I chuckled, making Seulgi roll her eyes in displeasure.
âYou know, I tell you absolutely everything about myself and how I fell, and you always shut me out and tell me how you felt about a situation when itâs been over for years.â Seulgi pouted, narrowing her eyes at me, âHowâs that fair, Y/N?â
âHey, we work differently, donât try to guilt trip me now.â I chuckled and took a sip of my coffee, making Seulgi roll her eyes, âAnyways, what did you do on your date with Wooyoung?â
âWe went to the cinema,â Seulgiâs face lit up once again, grinning from ear to ear, âHe bought me roses, a big bouquet. And after the movie we went for a walk and ended up stargazing in his cabriolet. It was really romantic.â
I smiled, feeling happy for my friend, she deserved someone like Wooyoung, âThat actually sounds really amazingâŠand romantic.â
âOh, my God, are you really Y/N? Where is my friend that hates anything that has to do with romance, cute stuff, and love?!â Seulgiâs shocked face was mocking and I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms in front of my chest as I leaned back against the back of the bench.
âI donât hate it, Iâm just not a huge fan of all of those things, okay?!â I shrugged, letting my arms fall from my chest as I pushed them inside my coatâs pockets.
âWhoâs the culprit?â When I raised my eyebrows at Seulgi, a sign that I didnât understand her question, she chuckled and leaned closer, âWhoâs the man thatâs changing your views on life, huh?â
âMan?â I asked with a scoff, giving Seulgi a deadpanned expression, âDoes it always have to be about a man? Canât it be just the fact that I had a change of mind?â
âSure, because of someone.â Seulgi had a smug look on her face, acting as if she won the argument. But there was no argument here and she had no idea what she was talking about.
âWhateverââ But I got cut off as her phone dinged loudly. Seulgi, very comically, scrambled to reach for her phone and as she opened it up, a wide grin stretched onto her lips. It didnât take two braincells to realize who had texted her, and thus, I chuckled and turned my head. I sipped my coffee, taking in my environment while Seulgi answered her boyfriend, giggling quietly every now and then.
The campus was finally silent and not as busy as it usually was in the early morning hours. The cold weather also helped in keeping the garden a little quieter as most people preferred to stay inside the warm corridors and classrooms. But the chilly air was good, it soothed my nerves and erased thoughts that werenât productive. Similar to that, were the emotions that I didnât want to deal with again, like the guilt thatâs never left me ever since Mingi walked out of my house wearing Yunhoâs old clothes. It felt wrong letting him take them without knowing the truth about them, but I didnât feel ready to tell him yet about the truth. I was scared, surprisingly, of what heâd think of me once he found out about Yunho and I. I was scared thatâheâd walk away, like Yunho had once done. And that was a very frightening thought. But when had I become so attached to Mingi? When has Mingi managed to infiltrate himself so thoroughly in my life, that the thought of completely losing him became scary? And why was I taking the past few days so badly? Itâs not like we were as close as Seulgi and I, or him and Seonghwa and Wooyoung, yet, ignoring him felt like the wrong move to do. However, the reasoning I always circled back to was the fact that I needed space. I had to clear my mind, to find the purpose of this whole friendship thatâs been blooming between us, and to make sense of everything. I had to figure out first why Yunho barely scraped my thoughts now, and why was it was Mingi who I found myself thinking of so often. In case you were wondering, no, I still havenât found the reason, and it was becoming frustrating quite quickly. That near kiss was aâmistake. Yet, it could have been so much worseâit could have been a real kiss. And a real kiss would have ruined everything. I didnât want to open up to anyone just yet, not when the memories of Yunho still haunted me in my dreams and drawings. Drawings that now more often than not consisted of Song Mingi.
And to my horror, the flipping of paper sheets is what alerted me back to my surroundings as I had been lost in my thoughts, oblivious to Seulgi putting her phone down and grabbing my sketchbook that lay between the two of us on the bench. As I turned my head, my eyes widened as Seulgiâs expression held surprise but amusement as well. She chuckled as she looked up, making eye contact with me. I lunged forward in an instant, trying to take my sketchbook out of her hands, but she leaned back and away, putting it behind herself.
âBitch, Iâm not the only one whoâs down bad for a man.â She said with a laugh, making me groan as I gave up trying to snatch my sketchbook back from her.
âIâm not down bad for a man, Seulgi, stop this non-sense.â I hissed, cheeks burning in embarrassment as she kept flipping through my drawings.
âPlease,â She scoffed, turning my sketchbook around and making me grimace as I came face to face with an exact replica of Mingi, sitting in his chair, at his studio that one time he invited me inside, âWho the fuck draws so many drawings of one single person if they arenât in love with themââ
âIâm not in love with Mingi, stop it!â I exclaimed, heart beating fast as Seulgi raised her eyebrows at me, looking unimpressed, âDonât ever again say that, Seulgi.â
âOkay, calm down, whatever. Youâre not in love with Mingi.â She chuckled, closing my sketchbook but she didnât hand it back yet, âBut letâs face it, Y/N, you have a thing for Mingi. Itâs super freaking obvious even without the drawings.â
âWhat the hell are you talking about?â I hissed and finally snatched the sketchbook out of her hands, clutching it to my chest. I knew bringing this along today would turn out to be a mistake, and here I was, facing the repercussions of my actions.
âThereâs this glint in your eyes whenever you look at himââ
âYeah, itâs called dislike.â I scoffed, rolling my eyes.
âAnd I see how you struggle to refrain yourself from smiling when youâre around himââ
âBitch, be for real, Mingi and I arenât even often together around you for you to notice that.â I scoffed, completely appealed by whatever absurd claims my best friend was making.
âSo youâre not denying itâwould it really be so bad if you liked Mingi?â But Seulgi ignored all my interruption as she raised her eyebrows at me, smiling softly, âHeâs a nice guy. Very well-mannered and with a big, and good heart. Wooyoung loves him a lot and is always worrying about him. He says Mingi hasnât been the same ever since his best friend moved away for collegeââ
âMingi is Yunhoâs best friend!â I blurted out before I could stop myself, finally feeling like a stone was taken off my chest as I bit my lower lip, averting my eyes from Seulgiâs shocked expression, âMingi is the best friend Yunho had always talked so much about while we were together. Iâdo you understand why it would be so bad if I ended up liking Mingi?â
âY/N,â Seulgi whispered, eyebrows furrowed, âfor how long have you know?â
âLong enough.â I muttered before clearing my throat, âSo please understand that Iâm not ready for whatever the hell me drawing all those sketches of Mingi could mean. A month ago I was close to bursting out crying even at the thought of Yunho, and now I fail to remember his existence on my best days.â
When I dared take a peek at Seulgi, she was smiling softly, almost proudly, âFine, Iâll pester you about this later on, when youâve figured things out, but until thenâyou canât deny Mingi isnât hotââ
âCan we stop talking about Minââ
âHi, girls!â I jumped in fright at the overly excited and shrill greeting as both Seulgi and I turned our heads to be met withâŠWooyoung and Mingi. Speak of the devil. Suddenly, there was a lump in my throat, and my heart started beating just a little bit faster as my eyes fell on Mingiâs tall form. It didnât help that underneath his coat he was wearing Yunhoâs sweaterâthe one I had given him.
âHi.â Seulgi giggled as Wooyoung leaned down to press a kiss against her cheek, the two looking sickly in love. It was actually endearing, but Iâd never admit it out loud for my own sake as I knew Iâd get teased about it by Seulgi. I averted my eyes from Wooyoung and Seulgi as they were muttering things to each other, and so, had no choice but to look up at Mingi, who lookedâexpressionless. Something in my stomach dropped at his cold demeanor, and it was worse that I wanted to assume it was my fault that he looked like that. But just as I was about to look away, he cracked the tiniest smile ever, and I exhaled, licking my lips.
âHi.â My voice was small as I gulped, eyes trans-fixated on the tall man as his smile became just a little wider. I donât think I had the power to ignore him anymore, not when he was standing right in front of me, looking like he wished to be anywhere but here.
âHi, Y/N.â Having not heard his voice in days, it sounded even deeper and raspier than usually, making butterflies erupt in my stomach as my grip tightened around my sketchbook. I felt a little awkward, perhaps even tense, as Mingi didnât say anything else, just continued gazing down at me with his sharp dark brown eyes boring into my own. I had so many things that I couldâve said to him, but I felt tongue tied. I didnât know what would be the right way to approach him after I ignored him for so many days. Would he understand? Is he mad at me now? Does he hate me now? Will he forgive meâ
âOkay,â Wooyoung chuckled, syllable drawn out and sounding amused, âI feel like Iâm interrupting something here, yet they are basically just staring at each other.â
âYouâre right.â Seulgi giggled, and I finally looked away from Mingi, throwing a glare at my best friend as she had leaned into Wooyoungâs side, who stood next to the bench and her.
âShush, you two.â Mingi beat me to telling the two love-birds off, and I couldnât help but smile, âDonât poke your nose where it doesnât belong to.â
âLook whoâs lecturing me about poking my nose where it doesnât belong toââ
âWooyoung.â Mingiâs tone held a warning, and it made Wooyoung giggle as he leaned down and pressed a fat kiss against Seulgiâs cheekâagainâmaking her push him away playfully.
âWeâre headed to class, are you coming over later?â Wooyoung smiled down at his girlfriend, playing with a strand of her hair.
âMaybe, if I get to finish my project.â Seulgi said with a pout and Wooyoung hummed, leaning down to press a kiss against her lips this time around. I averted my eyes, not a fan of seeing couples kiss, only to catch Mingi already looking at me. He was expressionless once again, but he was fidgeting with his fingers, looking almost nervous. And as Wooyoung stood up straight and ruffled Seulgiâs hair affectionately, Mingi took a deep breath.
âWill you come to Outlaw this Friday?â He asked in a rush, sounding almost reluctant as his eyebrows furrowed slightly and he chewed on his lower lip. To my horror, I found my eyes fixated on his plush mouth and I gulped before I quickly averted my eyes, praying that nobody caught it.
âYes.â I answered before Seulgi could, and nodded, smiling a little bit, âI wonât miss it.â
A beautiful smile spread on Mingiâs lips and he nodded once, looking too happy for something so little. I donât think Iâll understand anytime soon why he gets so excited and happy when I listen to his songs or watch him perform. Iâm no expert when it comes to music, my feedback is merely amateur and Iâm not even a fan of his band yet.
âCool, see you then.â And Mingi didnât wait for Wooyoung as he turned around and walked away, steps hurried. I didnât miss the confused glance Wooyoung and Seulgi shared before Wooyoung was off, chasing after his best friend. And maybe I would be soon able to make sense of my thoughts and feelings around Mingi, figure out what they meant and why they felt so real at times.
           Monday (16:58 pm)
I hate him: hi Me: hi I hate him: would it be a lot if i asked to meet u tomorrow? Me: no, im free in the afternoon I hate him: cool, me too so uhâŠwe can hang out in my studio? Me: or we can go to that new cafĂ© with pottery I hate him: really? Me: u did say u wanted us to go⊠I hate him: i certainly said so iâll pick u up around 4 Me: u donât have to iâll meet you there I hate him: come on, y/nâŠlet me drive u Me: uâve driven me around too many times by now iâll meet u there and thatâs final. I hate him: okay, boss, see ya there Me: :))
           Getting here before four oâclock and having to wait in front of the cute cafĂ© had no business being this nerve-wrecking. Yeah, Mingi hasnât shown up yetâbut perhaps thatâs because there were still ten minutes until itâd be fourâand I knew I had no reason to think heâd bail on me, but we hadnât spoken since yesterday, when he had asked me if we could hang out. And so, waiting for him shouldnât have had me breaking out in a sweat despite the cold weather, making me bite my lower lip harshly as I tried to smooth down the wool, green, brown, and beige patterned coat I was wearing. First of all, why the hell would I be so nervous about meeting up with Mingi alone at this cute cafĂ©? He probably wanted to talk about that near kiss, and once we had that cleared, things would go back to normalâright?!
And maybe that was the reason which made me want to vomit on the sidewalk, the thought that I knew Mingi would demand answersâanswers that I wasnât yet ready to hand out. Why did I even agree to this? Because I missed him? I should have just stayed at home and done the project Iâve been procrastinating onâagain. But when I heard the rumble of Mingiâs old Hondaâs engine, I knew there was no turning back, catching the bus and running home to hide underneath my blanket.
As Mingi took his time to parallel park, I took a deep breath and gripped onto the strap of my tote bag harder, looking down at myself. My apricot orange sneakers matched the color of my blouse, the top two buttons out of five undone, but not showing too much skin. My blouse was tucked inside my washed out high waisted mom jeans, the black belt matching the color of my tote bagâI know black isnât a color, Iâm an arts major after all. My hair was pulled in a low ponytail just to prevent the wind from blowing it in my face, and I was thankful that I chose my wool coat as it kept me warm enough. I have opted to wear quite a few rings today, and because my neck felt too exposed, I decorated it with three necklaces of different length. I gulped hard one last time as Mingi got out of his car and took a few seconds until he managed to lock it. However, those few seconds were exactly what I needed to prepare myself to not pass out at the full sight of him.
Mingi, in true fashion to him, wore all black, except for his jeans that were a very dark shade of blue, almost black too. His turtleneck was tucked inside his jeans, a black coat with a hood keeping him warm from the cold late autumn weather. It almost made me smile upon seeing his own tote bag, black, and funnily matching mine. Except that his was plain, while mine had Claude Monetâs Water-Lily Pond painting painted on it, done by none other than yours truly, me. Mingiâs eyes were concealed by black sunglasses, and I snorted as he almost splashed himself up by stepping a little too enthusiastically into a big puddle. Two necklaces hung around his neck, reaching down his chest. A very obvious and sturdy silver cross necklace, and another longer chain that had pearls scarcely strung on it. Â And in true Song Mingi fashion, his rings werenât missing, only two of his nails painted black on each hand, almost as if he didnât have time to finish doing them. My heart racing in my chest so fast just at the mere sight of him, certainly wasnât healthy, right?
âHi!â I squeaked out and wished to burry myself instantly as Mingi chuckled, a very charming smile spreading onto his lips. It was a little annoying that I couldnât see his eyes, forced to stare at his plush lips insteadâletâs be real, nobody forced me, I did it because I couldnât help myself, âThe sun is quite blinding today, isnât it?â
And of course, in good old fashion, my mouth worked before my brain would agree to saying something out loud, and my cheeks were burning as I knew Mingi saw me look at his lips. I had to divert the attention somehow, and teasing him was my best method, actually. It always worked. Â
âIâm trying to make a fashion statement,â Mingi grinned as he gripped the sunglasses and took them off in a very unnaturally hot way, âbut hello to you too.â
âNo need for a fashion statement when itâs just the two of us,â I narrowed my eyes, finding Mingiâs hair very soft and fluffy looking, almost as if he had recently washed it, and it wasnât completely dry, âIâm not one of your fans.â
âPity,â Mingi hummed, stepping slightly closer to me, âI thought I might just finally wove you.â
I scoffed, and as I was about to tell him off, he grabbed my tote bag and pulled me after himself, headed for the entrance of the cafĂ©, âDid you have to wait long for me? Traffic was busier today, I had to take a few detours to get here in time.â
âDonât worry,â I smiled as he opened the door for me and let me walk inside first, âI only waited half an hour for you to arrive, runway princess.â
âRunway princess?!â Mingiâs eyes bulged for a second before he started laughing loudly, making a few customers glance our way as we made it inside the cafĂ©. I elbowed him in the stomach gently, not too keen of having people glare at us as he disturbed their peace.
âDonât like the nickname?â I asked with a raised brow as we neared the front desk. The cashier had a friendly smile on her face while she greeted us as Mingi and I looked up at the menu, trying to decide what weâd like to have.
âNever said that,â Mingi answered with a chuckle as he threw me a quick glance, âitâs just surprising coming from you.â
âWhy, canât I call you a princess?â I chuckled, turning to face the cashier as I have made up my mind about what Iâd like to have.
âUp until now you seemed to prefer the term âbroâ, but Iâm fine with whatever you decide on calling me, doll.â The look the cashier gave us made my cheeks flame up and I cleared my throat loudly, shooting Mingi a look that told him to shut up.
âSorry about that,â I muttered embarrassed, smiling at the cashier, âcan I get a strawberry cheesecake?â
âSure, right away, and you, sir?â Her attention was on Mingi now, cheeks flushing the longer she looked at him. Okay, I could totally understand why. Mingi looked quite good right now, it was hard not to ogle him.
âA mint-chocolate cheesecake and a cappuccino?â Mingi hummed, eyebrows furrowed in thought as he looked down at the cashier.
âPlain cappuccino or with vanilla?â The cashier typed in our orders as she asked Mingi, averting her eyes shyly once he looked at her, pursing his lips.
âPlain,â He decided at last, turning to look at me, âare you not getting anything to drink?â
âAn orange fresh will be alright.â I said as I reached inside my bag to fish around for my wallet.
âAnd would you also like to paint some pottery?â The cashier asked, pointing behind herself at all the displayed options. Mingi and I shared a look and I smiled as I nodded at him, making him grin from ear to ear.
âYeah, weâll paint some pottery too. Can I have a cup?â He asked, pointing at one on the higher shelf. It was a smaller cup, specifically made for drinking coffee. The cashier nodded and then looked at me expectantly.
âUh, a mug will do for me.â I said and thanked her once she handed us the pottery and the paint that was used for painting these. Then, she tapped a few more on her tablet and told us the total. I opened my wallet to pay for my purchase, but Mingi had a card in his hands, the cashier already typing in the total sum for him to pay.
âMingi,â I hissed quietly, looking at him with a frown, âwhat are you doing?â
âIt was my idea to come hereââ
âNo, it wasnât.â I cut him off, fingers curling into the scratchy fabric of his coat as I reached out to hold it, âI suggested we come here instead of going to your studio.â
Mingi sighed and pocketed his card, already having paid, then turned his body to face mine. I didnât let go of his coat just yet, âYeah, but when I drove you home during that downpour I asked you if youâd come here with me. So technically, it was my idea. Initially, anyways, it really was.â
âMingiââ I started, but soon swallowed my words as he stepped closer, invading my personal space. My fingers tightened more into his coat and I gulped, suddenly feeling nervous due to our proximity. He faintly smelled of vanilla, it was a fragrance I didnât except to smell on him.
âCan you not fight me on this one, please?â Mingiâs eyebrows slightly furrowed and his eyes softened up and Iâstruggled to breathe for a second as I stared up in his pleading eyes, mouth going dry. He lookedâadorable like this, and I did not like the way I felt myself getting lost in his soft gaze.
âLetâs find a table.â I muttered, forcing myself out of the trance he placed on me, and grabbed my mug and the painting supplies. Mingi followed suit as he took his own cup and followed after me closely. We walked further inside the cafĂ© and found a smaller table in the next room, closer towards the window. The walls were painted a faint orange and were decorated by white stripes that created abstract shapes. The chandeliers were white and hung low, the place well-lit for those who wished to paint pottery.
I placed the things in my hands on the table carefully, and then discarded my coat on the back of my chair and my tote bag by the leg of the table, pulling my chair out for myself. Mingi followed suit, however, he managed to almost send his cup tumbling to the floor when he took his seat. His eyes were wide as he just barely caught the cup, and I giggled as I watched him while opening the box that held all the paint. Thankfully, the table was spacious enough to harbor both our pottery and paints as the cashier brought out our delicacies. She threw Mingi a lasting look before she hurried back to the front desk, glancing our way at times.
âThis is going to be a tough one.â Mingi said before scooping up a bit of his cheesecake with his little spoon.
âWhy?â I asked with a chuckle, choosing a thin brush to start painting some flowers on my mug. My cheesecake could wait.
âBecause Iâm literally sat at a table with an arts major, having to decorate some cup by painting.â Mingi sounded stressed and I chuckled as I looked up at him, amused by his expression. His hair fell in his eyes a bit, and I found myself absentmindedly reaching over the table to brush it to the side. Almost as if realizing at the same time what I had done, we both froze. It felt like time stilled around us as I watched Mingi with a gaping mouth, slowly but surely, my cheeks becoming the color of a fire hydrant. But Mingi wasnât better off as he bit his bottom lip, averting his eyes shyly as his cheeks turned the faint color of pink. Clearing my throat and accidentally choking as I hastily pulled my hand back, I averted my eyes and fought for my life to not choke. Thank God the orange juice was right there, I quickly took three large gulps.
âThâthanks.â Mingi stuttered, staring at the table as he licked his lips, âUh, itâs gotten long, my hair, I mean, I have to cut it when I get the time.â
âYeah.â I nodded, grabbing my mug and chewing on my bottom lip in embarrassmentâGod, could the Earth swallow me up right now? Why the hell did I do that?! âYeah.â
âDo you think I should change it up a little?â I paused as I had dipped my brush in red paint, and slowly looked up at Mingi, âDo something fun with itâlike going blonde?â
âI hate blonde hair.â I blurted out before I could stop myself. Nice one, idiot. Yunho was blonde while we were together, and thus, yeah, Iâve hated blondes ever since. And to be fairâand this is not me shitting on my exâbut that hair color did not suit Yunho at all.
âOh, noted.â Mingi whispered, pouting a little. I sighed and looked up at the ceiling, hating myself for the weird atmosphere I have created.
âMingi, you can do whatever you want with your hair.â I spoke up, leaning down to try and look him in the eyes as he was busy staring at the table, âMy opinion shouldnât matter. Itâs your hair. Go crazy with it, have fun, try out something new. Really.â
âBut do you think it would suit me?â Mingi was still pouting as he finally looked up at me, looking quite crestfallen. My eyebrows furrowed and I tried to imagine him with blonde hair. He was quite blessed with his skin complex as most colors looked good on him, but perhaps I preferred Mingi with dark hairâblack hair, more specifically. Like he had it right now. He lookedâgood. Handsome, even. Completely gorgeous. Fuck.
âI think it would suit you.â I settled on saying that. He didnât have to know my train of thought, like at all. Mingi hummed in appreciation, and I watched as he reached inside his tote bag, pulling out a case that held his glasses. He took it out of the case and put it on, pushing it up on the bridge of his nose. He grinned when he looked at me and I chuckled, shaking my head as I looked down at my mug, finally starting to decorate it.
âThere goes the cool, mysterious, hot celebrity act.â I teased under my breath, not expecting Mingi to hear me. But he did, and he started laughing, giving me a cheeky grin.
âNot quite a celebrity yet, but at least you admit I am hot.â Of course he was smirking as I gave him a deadpanned look, about to argue him on his statement, but he didnât let me as he continued talking, âBy the way, letâs exchange our cups when we are done. The mug will be mine and the cup will be yours.â
I tried to fight the smile off my lips, âSo that you get the artwork of a talented artist for free to sell for an outrageous price later on when Iâm famous?â
âI fear you have misjudged my character, doll.â Mingiâs eyes narrowed playfully, but there was truth to his words. I might just have misjudged his character.
âI still think youâre arrogant and selfish.â
âOf course you do, didnât except anything less from you.â Mingi winked and then looked down, his cheesecake forgotten as he started decorating his cup, tongue just barely sticking out as he concentrated hard on whatever he had in mind to paint onto the cup. I chuckled and shook my head before focusing on my own mug, the silence thatâs settle around us comfortable, as always.
           Mingi and I were the quietest table in the café as we worked in silence diligently in, painting our own pottery. Mingi, at times, would hum along quietly to the songs that were played on the radio. Despite his cup being smaller and easier to paint, I finished painting mine before him, and so, I took the time to savor my cheesecake even if it had gotten warm and a little too soft. Mingi was hunched over in his seat, glasses low on the bridge of his long nose, with his full lips either pursed or with the bottom one bitten as his eyebrows would furrow every time he almost made a mistake. It was a funny sight, and I grabbed my phone without thinking much, and snapped a few pictures of him, leaning lower and even closer to his face to get the funny angles, all while Mingi remained oblivious to it. I chuckled as I looked at the pictures I had taken of him, looking at him when I felt eyes on me.
âWhatâs so funny?â He asked curiously, eyeing my phone for a second.
âYou.â I chuckled and stuck my tongue out as Mingi rolled his eyes, leaning back in his chair as he heaved a long sigh.
âIâm finally done.â He grinned and I looked down at his cup, taking in the yellow chicks he had painted quiteâclumsily. Well, not all of us had the skills of a painterânot that it was an issue or anythingâitâs just that itâs been long since I had seen someone have the skills of aâkindergartner, âItâs pretty sick, huh?â
I bit my lower lip to stop myself from giggling and nodded with my eyebrows furrowed, âIâd give it a seventy out of a hundred mark.â
âHey! Thatâs too low!â Mingi said, looking offended. I chuckled before shrugging.
âYouâll have to work on your skills for a higher mark.â
âFine, next time you come to the studio, Iâll make you sing.â Mingi raised his eyebrows, making me narrow my eyes at him playfully.
âOh, I didnât know we are in a competition.â
âWe werenât, until now.â He winked and then stood, grabbing my mug and his own cup carefully as he took it to the front desk for drying. I gathered the items we had used to paint the pottery with to place them back in the box, and couldnât help it but sneak a glance at Mingi. He was leaned up against the front counter, grinning widely at the cashier as she spoke to him, using her hands for big gestures as she was probably explaining something. My eyes narrowed as Mingi leaned slightly closer to her, only to detach himself from the front desk and walk back towards our table. I looked away and busied myself with my glass of orange juice.
âSo, weâll get them delivered to our houses once they are dry and all.â He said with a smile, sitting down, âI hope you donât mind I gave her your address too.â
âI donât.â I muttered, chewing on the straw for a second, âI didnât think youâd know my address.â
âWell,â Mingi flattened his hands on the surface of the table, âIâve been to your house twice now. I think itâs only right I remember your address, doll.â
âRight,â I muttered, âyouâve been to my house.â
Mingiâs eyebrows furrowed, and I figured he didnât like the tone of my voice. But before I could correct myself and explain that I had nothing against that, he spoke up, âY/N, IâI didnât mean to scare you orâI donât knowâmake you think that I want anything from you. I meanâwe are friends, and I respect you as a woman and as a friend, and I know we almostâkissed. But IâI donât want you to think that Iâm playing some sort of game with you to getâto get in your pants. Iâm your friend. And even if I wasnât, I still wouldnât do that to you.â
Hearing him say all that felt wrong. I didnât deserve any explanation from him. I was the one thatâs overreacted that day, and Mingi was the one that deserved an explanation and apology from me for the way I have acted. I knew I couldnât completely open up to him right now, that some parts of the truth had to be omitted today, but he also deserved to know why I had pulled back. And I wanted him to understand that it wasnât his fault for the way I reacted to everything.
âMingi,â I offered him a small smile and gripped my empty glass for some support, âIf you think you are the reason why I ignored you, please, stop thinking that. Itâsâwe both leaned in, okay? We were both about to kiss each other, itâs not like you initiated it or forced me to do something I didnât want to. And nothing even happened, for Godâs sake. I reacted that way because Iââ
When I paused, Mingiâs eyebrows furrowed, and he leaned over the table, gently poking my hand with his ring clad fore-finger, âYou donât have to tell me anything if youâre not comfortable sharing it, Y/N.â
âBut I want you to know this, Mingi.â I averted my eyes and took a deep breath, embracing myself for what I was about to tell him, âI had a boyfriend back in high-school who completely broke my heart, shattered it into pieces. And I know that happened a long time ago, and yes, I am over him, but IâI am scared people will treat me like he had treated me. Iâm scared that if I let you close, youâll justâleave. Like he did. And I know ignoring you for days was very shitty of me and I shouldnât have done thatâbecause quite frankly, Mingi, you deserve betterâI just didnât know what to do. I needed a few days to myself, to figure things out. Itâs a bad excuse, but itâs the truth, and I think you deserve to know it. Since we are friends.â
Mingiâs face conveyed no emotion for a few seconds and I gulped, feeling nervous all of a sudden. Did he figure it out now? That I was talking about Yunho? That maybe I have started feeling something for him too, for Mingi? Would he stand up and leave? But to my surprise, a wide smile stretched onto his lips and he hummed, adjusting his glasses on his nose.
âThank you for trusting me, it means a lot that you told me all that.â I bit my bottom lip, looking down at the table abashedly, âAnd I was never mad at you for ignoring me. I completely understand you, Y/N, and for the record, I have zero intentions of leaving you. And your ex is a fucking asshole for breaking your heart like that, tell me who he is and Iâll beat him up when I cross paths with him.â
There was nothing funny about what Mingi had said, especially since he was talking about his best friend, but the comically tough look on his face made me snort loudly as I shielded my mouth with my hand, trying to stop myself from laughing too loudly. Mingi started grinning like an idiot, his giggles deep, and making something coil in my stomach. When has Song Mingi become adorable instead of annoying?
âI doubt youâd want to kick his ass once you find out who he isâŠâ I grimaced once that was out of my mouth, regretting it instantly. What was it about today that I couldnât keep my thoughts and mouth in check? It was turning really frustrating.
âSo, you plan on telling me one day?â Mingi wriggled his eyebrows, making me snort, âLike real besties gossiping and shit.â
âYou never fail to make me cringe when you call us besties, Mingi.â I shook my head, taking a glance at my wrist watch. Oh, the time had flown away, it was well past five now, and the sun was going down. Iâd probably have to head home soon to have dinner with my mother. I was becoming hungry too.
âWell, thatâs what we are soâŠâ He cleared his throat before slowly standing up, making me look up at him, âDid you know today weâre celebrating the Festival of Light?â
âNope, I had no idea.â I shook my head, standing up too as Mingi wore his coat, âI donât follow the events our city organizes.â
âPity, itâs really pretty.â Mingi pouted, waiting for me as I grabbed my tote bag and pocketed my phone, âShould we check it out?â
âI meanâŠmaybe?â I shrugged and Mingi beckoned me over as he crossed his arm with mine, making me chuckle as I looked up at him. He wasnât much taller than me, but his sneakers had a thick sole and they made him even taller, âWhere is this festival held at?â
âJust down the street, at the Citadel.â Mingi smiled as he led the way out of the cafĂ©, waving at the barista as she blushed again, making me chuckle as I subconsciously nuzzled up against Mingiâs side, the air chilly as the sun had set by now.
âThat barista totally has a crush on you.â I found myself saying as we walked down the sidewalk, trying to avoid crashing into the people that came towards us. Yeah, there certainly was an event on-going in the city, otherwise you wouldnât see so many people out and about around this time. Everyone preferred staying inside after the sun had set, not keen of the cold nights.
âYou think so?â Mingi mused, bottom lip jutting out as he narrowly avoided a child that was running around, âI didnât notice.â
âYou must be really dense then.â I snorted, eyebrows furrowing as I looked up at him, âShe was constantly blushing, and she was totally looking at you with hearts in her eyes.â
âHow do you know when someone is looking at you with heart eyes?â Mingiâs question threw me off, and I detached myself from his side, clearing my throat as I looked ahead, pushing my hands in my pockets. He was warm, it made me realize as the cold bit at my skin now that I wasnât nuzzled up by his side anymore.
âWell, they have this look in their eyes, you know? Itâs warm, and soft, and it lasts.â I explained, feelings my cheeks heat up, âAnd their eyes always linger on you when you arenât watching them. Itâs likeâŠpuppy eyes, I suppose? I wouldnât actually know, Mingi, nobodyâs ever looked at me like that.â
When there was no response, I looked back to find Mingi looking at me intensely. My eyebrows furrowed as we have arrived to the Citadel, the gates open for the visitors of the festival. The place was packed, this wouldnât be so fun anymore. I wouldâve turned around and walked back home if I didnât see how excited Mingi was when I agreed to come check it out.
âThereâs lots of people here.â Mingi muttered, and then walked closer to me as I led the way inside, a little baffled by his reaction to my answer. I just merely gave an answer based on my beliefs. It was him that was acting weird now. But as I looked at him, I could see it in his eyes that he didnât want to talk about this topic anymore, that he wanted us to drop the subject. His last comment was a way to veer the conversation in a different direction. What was it about us today making everything weird? I sighed and just walked further inside, trying to avoid the big crowd which seemed almost impossible as it stretched on and on. The Citadel, however, was beautiful as it was coated in darkness, only the little paper lamps and fairy lights illuminating the place. It had a certain aura to it, almost romantic, and I soon found myself smiling as we walked down the cobblestone path, still trying to avoid people and stick close to each otherâs sides. The air was chilly but the walls of the Citadel did a great job at keeping the breeze out, and the crowd certainly kept the place warmer than it was outside the stone walls.
I found myself admiring the décor in wonder, my mouth hanging open as I took in all the little lamps placed down on the ground, following the cobblestone paths, illuminating our way. It was truly beautiful, it almost felt like the scene was taken out of a fairytale. I found myself filled with excitement and happiness as I turned to grin at Mingi.
âThis is so beautiful!â I giggled, absentmindedly grabbing the sleeve of his coat and dragging him away from the path and into the dying grass as there was a panel covered with paper, and people were writing on it. Mingi remained silent, but as I searched around for a pen or pencil, I felt him watching me, âWhat, do you not want to write something?â
âIf you manage to find a marker or pen, I will, sure.â He said with a shrug, adjusting the strap of his tote bag before he pushed his hands deep in his pockets. I chuckled and looked around for a marker, but it was hard to see it in the darkness whether they were laying around in the grass or not. To my surprise, a little girl standing next to me looked up at me with a small smile on her lips, and offered me her purple-coloured marker, saying she was done with her drawing. I thanked her with a chuckle and turned to face Mingi with a grin.
âI found one!â Mingi chuckled and took the marker from my hands, being able to reach high up where the paper was still empty, due to his height. The panel was illuminated from the inside so you could actually see what was written on the paper. I watched him as he wrote on the paper, hesitating for a second, before he stepped back and handed me the marker. I raised up on my tip toes curiously, and craned my neck to see what heâs written. âThe moon is beautiful tonight.â
I felt a smile spread onto my lips as I looked back at Mingi, whoâs expression was serious and almost sad-looking as he adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his tall nose. I craned my neck back once more to gaze at the dark sky, at the moon, and indeed, there she was, beautiful and shining brightly. It was a new moon. Taking a swift glance at Mingi, I raised back on my tip toes and stood close to the panel, reaching up, just underneath Mingiâs writing. Thankfully, I could reach just bellow it, and I grinned as I quickly drew a new moon, adding a little shading to it and dents as well, creating the illusion of a real moon. Mingi remained silent as I took a step back, admiring our work. I handed the marker to another child as I fished my phone out of my pocket and snapped a picture quickly of our artwork.
âThe moon turned out beautifully.â Mingi commented once we had stepped away from the panel to let others draw too, headed back onto the cobblestone path.
âStill, itâs not as beautiful as the real one, but I tried my best.â I chuckled as I crossed my arms in front of my chest for a second, avoiding a man as he wasnât looking in front of himself as he raced down the path. Mingi threw him a displeased look before looking down at me.
âYour drawings and paintings are always beautiful, Y/N.â Mingi said and I found myself blushing, thankful that it was so dark he wouldnât be able to see it. I uncrossed my arms and turned my body a little to face him. There was music coming from one path, the one which led to the southern part of the Citadel.
âAre you nervous about Friday?â I found myself asking him as Mingi veered us towards where the music was coming from. He looked at me for a second, and then shook his head.
âIâm rarely nervous when we have to perform.â He said nonchalantly, the back of his hand brushing lightly against mine. My heart did a somersault against my ribcage, but I ignored it.
âOh, youâre such a cool guy.â I teased him with narrowed eyes, making Mingi chuckle.
âI rarely get nervous, to be honest, even less when it comes to performing.â He hummed, looking up at the dark sky for a second, âI trust myself and my bandmates that everything will go well, so, thereâs no actual reason to feel nervous.â
âBut Iâll be there on Friday, that still doesnât make you feel nervous?â My question was meant to be teasing, part of our playful banter, but the way Mingi gulped and quickly averted his eyes told me that perhaps I hit the nail spot-on. Well, now I have turned things awkward again. I sighed loudly, chewing on my bottom lip as Mingi remained silent, the two of us walking down the narrow path as the music became louder as we were nearing the stage. Jazz music was playing, the lady who was singing had a powerful and smooth voice that carried over the crowd neatly. There were a few people dancing in the crowd.
âPerhaps having you there will make me nervous.â Mingiâs voice was barely above a whisper and I tensed when I felt his pinkie brush against my own, making me clench my hand into a fist. But a very quiet voice inside my head demanded me to accept Mingiâs subtle request, and willing my heart to stop hammering so hard in my chest, I relaxed my hand and slowly slipped it into Mingiâs. If he stopped walking for a milli-second, I didnât say anything about it, and he also ignored it. His grip turned firm as he intertwined our fingers together, gently pulling me closer into his side as he smiled at a mother who apologised for his son almost running into us.
I gulped and kept my eyes ahead of me, too nervous to look at Mingi. Holding his hand like this meant nothing in particular, but it was a nice feeling. It made my cheeks warms and heart race. And I didnât have to look at Mingi to know he was smiling like crazy, his cheeks just as red as mine as we came to a stop behind the dancing people.
Have I started falling for Song Mingi?
ăIt's you, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm just saying it's you, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You're what I've been chasing
Show me where my days wentă

I feel like an interesting prompt for Lando would be being with/meeting a girl he likes who isnât an influencer or popular, just a regular girl who stays more private. (Me for example, a girl who lives in the middle of no where Texas, with a regular business office 9-5 job) lol
You Are in Love

hi hun, if you dont mind can you make a fic of jaemin being all crazy for y/n but it starts off with them just sexting n dry humping till he goes all crazy for her. btw! i loved the affair series would love to see dream ver. :)
CRAZY IN LOVE
Synopsis: It was stupid really, you were bored and treated the app as a joke. You just never would have thought the man you began sexting would be your best friends boyfriend and at that an obsession beginning to develop.
Warning: Smut / Fluffish? / Angst . Swear word usage, Serious!Jaemin x Shy!Reader. Toxic relationship, pick me best friend, cheating,TW! mention of suicide, conflicted feelings. Reader is a bit of a push over + character development. Takes place in college. Blue: Jaemin, Pink:Reader
A/N: Hi love! Hope you enjoy and thank u sm! I havenât considered making one for dream but maybe after Iâm done I may think about it!
Pairing: Jaemin x fem reader
You felt like a shit person. You hate fake people, players even and yet here you are doing the very thing you despise. Being bored isnât a good enough justification for it, your interest was peaked the second you scrolled by the app in the App Store. A cold rainy day that left you alone, cold and in the dark of your dorm. Roommate was out doing god knows what, your best friend could never really be cooped up for long. The cold rain drops fell on your window that laid beside your bed. Tiktok wasnât interesting, no movies on any movie platform seemed to catch your focus. Wednesday playing in the background for the sake of keeping the room completely dark and silent.
âHEARTSTRING, the best most popular app for young adults ready for a relationship!â
What harm could it be if you tried out the app right? Itâs not like anything bad could really come out of it.
âAnd so I was like, Beverly you have to stop shitting around and like fucking cut the chord. Heâs not interested in you anymore. I mean yeah have we been having a bit of flirty banter here and there, sure but-â
The chitter chatter of his girlfriend talking his ear off began to muffle as Jaemin focuses his attention on his cell phone. He wasnât exactly in the best mood, itâs fucking cold outside. His thick jacket he brought with now currently wrapped around his girlfriend because of the refusal she had to bring her own. Currently sitting inside a vegan restaurant and a $50 dish that isnât all that appetizing and fulfilling. With an hour worth of talking of all the boring shit his girlfriend has to ramble about, he feels itâs the least bit understandable heâs decided to do something he wants to do. Be on his phone.
His social battery only down by its last percentage, a small frown on his face as he scrolls through his feed. Boring and bland, only a small story of Jenoâs in which him and the boys were currently playing the newest game. Months and months of hyping it up, waiting for its release and Jaemin is wasting his time on his 30th date. By now, his bank account is about ready to burst. A cry for help he swears he hears each time he picks up his wallet. Stopping midway scroll when an ad appears, âHEARTSTRING!â
Taking a quick glance up at his girlfriend and sees sheâs still rambling on about girl drama as she continues to take pictures of her salad and posting them online. To say his relationship with Nayoung was perfect would be the furthest from the truth. If anything, he still doesnât quite understand how he managed to get in the relationship in the first place. What was suppose to be a quick fling, resulted in Nayoung telling the entire school they were together. Her parents were quick in wanting to get to meet him, a very serious talk from her father had chills running up his arms. âDonât you even dare hurt my little girl. You donât know what Iâm capable of son.â Heâs tried to think of ways to get out of that situation but itâs only gotten worse when Nayoung got in touch with his parents. The thrill look on their faces when they were told their oldest son was finally in a committed relationship. Jaemin felt that maybe he would always be stuck.
And if that was the case, he might as well still have fun if he canât walk away from her.
Setting up your account came to be really easy. You plan to delete the app by the end of the night, youâre not looking for something seriously and so far the app itself doesnât look that serious either. It seemed everything was anonymous for the most part. With only using real descriptions and names, not personal pictures are to be added and instead icons. An app for anonymous chatting. For a while it seemed it was a scam, nothing good was happening other than the constant liking of each profile that propped up for you. You werenât looking for anything specific, you just wanted to have a conversation and just as you were about to log out and delete it. A notification popped up.
na.jaemin0813 is typingâŠ
Hey
HelloâŠ
Did you get the app out of boredom as well?
Itâs like weâre one mind
Guess we were meant to be ;)
Haha cheeky
You know it babe
So tell me, whatâs your favorite conspiracy theory you can discuss for hours
Ooh getting serious are we?
Chatting with Jaemin didnât seem so bad. In fact, youâve come to enjoy your conversation with him, you didnât expect it to go on longer than anticipated.
âY/n im home!â You hear your best friend say as she closes the door behind her. Turning off your phone before you can receive the next message Jaemin was about to send you, a figure appears by your door way. âIâm fucking exhausted.â She huffs as she drops the many bags of clothes. A pout on her face as she slumps her shoulders. âCan you make me food, i am in a serious need of a bath.â âI still have some of my left over chicken Alfredo in the fridge-â âYou know I donât eat left overs.â She makes a disgusted look, âPlease! Iâll owe you.â She smiles before wandering off to her room. âYou already owe me.â You mumble before getting out of bed and into the kitchen. The running water is heard a few minutes later with the sound of music playing soon afterwards. As you let the water boil for the pasta, you get back on your phone.
Where have you gone darling?
Already missing me ?
Given youâre someone who isnât all that dry, who wouldnât be?
So am I safe to assume you havenât had great chats recently?
Youâre the only one who hasnât made the entire conversation about themselves and the many inconveniences in their lives
Ugh, those people are the worst.
The loud obnoxious singing of your best friend is what interrupted your conversation with him. Focusing back on her dinner as she spent the next hour an a half in the bath.
A sigh escapes Jaemin as he waits for the three dots to appear before exiting out of the app and moving on. The loud yelling of the guys are heard as he enters his dormitory. Busying themselves on whatever video game theyâve bought lately, âOn your right!â Haechan exasperates. Taking the seat next to him, Jaemin had kicked off his shoes and rested them on top of the coffee table. âOh youâre back!â He hears Jisungâs voice as soon as he entered the small living room. âWere you in my room?â. Shrugging his shoulders, he lifts up the cup of ramen in his hand. âYou stash them in your room, finally found them.â âYeah itâs exactly why I stashed them.â He shakes his head, hearing a notification from his phone he lifts it up only to frown when he sees it was Nayoung.
âIâm guessing the date didnât go well?â Jisung asks. âSheâs so high maintenance.â He sighs before closing his eyes and rubs his temple. âWhy donât you break up with her?â Haechan asks him, half of his attention on the flat screen tv. âBecause if I break up with her, her father will break my face I thought I told you already?â âOh right- move you fuck!â Getting off the couch, Jaemin walks over to the kitchen table and takes a seat keeping the maknae company.
Lets go out tomorrow!
Shutting his phone off, Jaemin doesnât bother responding back. Mentally and socially drained to respond. âIâll be in my room.â He murmurs not bothering to get a response back. The door to his room gets closed behind him, falling on his bed as he feels himself about to drowse off until he hears another notification go off.
So do you study?
Third year in college :)
Really? Where?
Seoul National University.
No way really? I go there too!
We should get together sometime.
Already desperate to get to know me?
Yeah well, Iâd like to be able to see the face Iâm talking to instead of a screen.
Mm I donât knowâŠ
Oh come on, are you gonna make me work for it?
Yep
Meanie :(
As the days went by the two of you have constantly texted the other. To the point people began to notice, âwhy are you always on your phone?â You best friend half heartedly asked one day, on her own as she busies scrolling through her feed. Eyes rolling when she sees one of her âfriendsâ post a picture. âTold her she looked ugly in that photo, canât believe she still posted it. Eh, A+ for confidence i guess.â
Peeking over her screen she frowns when she notices you didnât even bother answering her question. Instead, a smile on your face as you continue to text Jaemin. Itâs been an entire week since you downloaded the app, an entire week since you began texting Jaemin and a week since youâve been this lonely looking person. It made Nayoung wonder, you were never this preoccupied with your phone. If anything you never used it mainly because you didnât have much going other than movies and tiktok. But this, no this canât be a romcom or TikTokâs doing. âOh my god!â
Jumping back startled, you look at her shocked face. âYouâre seeing someone!â Scoffing, you shake your head and set your phone down. âAm not.â âSo why did you set your phone facing down. Mphm?â âI always do that.â Stopping momentarily, Nayoung canât tell if you were telling the truth. Unlike you, she isnât that observant, she canât even remember your birthday and only hopes she hasnât missed it yet. âDonât change the subject! Now tell me, who is it.â âNo one-â Poking you with her chopsticks, she leans closer. âNow, now itâs been AGES since your last relationship and we both know how that ended. Just want to see how this oneâs likeâ A small pang was felt in your heart, you didnât like to remember it. Your last boyfriend only used you to get closer to Nayoung. It hurt to know he didnât even like you not once throughout your relationship. Broken up with him and getting the reassurance from your best friend is what got you through it.
âHeâs not like that-â âAha! So you are seeing someone!â Sighing, you smile shyly at her. âNot really seeing if I have never met him. We only started texting each other. Itâs only been a week.â You say with a small smile. A ding is heard and you were quick to check, a small chuckle escapes you and youâre entire focus was now back on your phone. You miss the small scowl your best friend has on her face. She wondered who this boy was, how is it that you didnât tell her when all of this was happening? A bitterness began to bubble inside of her but she keeps it on the low and instead grabs the dishes and puts them in the sink.
âIâm going out, me and Jaemin got a date.â She says loud enough for you to hear her. âK have fun.â You say lowly, eyes still on your screen. Giving you one last glance, she makes her way out.
âJaemin, are you even paying attention to me?â She huffs annoyedly at her boyfriend. âOf course I am.â He quickly typed out his last text before looking up at her. Rolling her eyes, she huffs and crosses her arms. âIs this how youâre gonna be when you visit my parents?â âVisit?â âOf course, mom has been wanting you to come visit and so I promised her the next time I fly out Iâd take you with me! My friend will be coming too of course, poor thing canât see her parents. Itâs this whole drama thing sheâs got going on.â She shrugs. Great another weekend ruined.
âAlright see you then.â A grin forms on her face, leaning in for a kiss before she was long gone to do shopping with her friends. Rolling his eyes, Jaemin sits back on his bed and unlocks his phone. His finger hovered over the contact. He wondered what you were up to, he was bored and a little moody that you havenât texted him yet. Scrolling through your last few messages that heâs noticed have gotten more flirtier over the course of time.
Whatcha doin?
Why, you miss me? :(
Donât be a brat.
You love it
And you love teasing me smh
Still mad�
You sent a pic of your boobs while I was in the middle of class
I had blue balls for the rest of the hour
So you donât want more?
I want you.
Aw what a cutie
Iâm not cute Iâm hot
Would you like to see?
Photo Sent
The text messages progressively got more flirty, from pictures of abs and cleavages. You made sure your face was no where in view of the camera. You donât know where this confidence came from. You never sent such pictures before, and yet never would you have thought to begin sexting a stranger you met online.
Fuck y/n, I need to see you.
Iâm sure your hand can keep you company
Fucking meanie
;)
âY/n! I need help packing I just bought new clothes and I need your help making an outfit out of them!â You hear Nayoung enthusiastically shout as she enters the dorm. Slamming the door behind you, opening the camera app you take one last pictures of your chest down, wearing a black corset with a push-up bra you notice Jaemin swoons over. Sending it before shutting your phone off.
A huff is heard as you watch Nayoung drop down all her bags filled with clothes. âOkay tomorrow morning we should be heading down to my fathers cabin alright?â Nodding, she leads you to her room. Two large suitcases are taken out of her closet as she begins taking down all her clothes from the hangers. Looking at herself through the body mirror as she makes distasteful noises each time she comes across an article of clothing she no longer likes.
Do you like torturing me?
Are you fisting yourself rn?
Kinda have no other choiceâŠ
Good, go faster for me will ya?
Itâll send you another picture of me. Maybe something more revealingâŠ
âY/n? You listening?â âYeah!â Looking from her bed, a large pile of clothes as she poses in the mirror. She peeked through her mirror to see how engrossed you were with your phone. A small frown as she still doesnât know much about this guy youâve met. âBeige or cream?â Showing you a scarf she plans to wear, she pretend to think. âCream, doesnât wear out your face.â Smiling, she turns around and continues to check herself out. âSo who exactly will be going?â Hearing the sound of another text coming from Jaemin, you take a peek to see he had sent a picture of his own.
âOh just my parents, some childhood friends and my boyfriend. â âSpeaking of boyfriend, will I be meeting this boy youâve been messaging?â She wiggles her brows. âNope, I still havenât met him yet.â You chuckle. âHuh..â she breathes out before posing in front of the mirror. âSo how are things with your boyfriend?â you ask. âThings are great! Iâm so happy to be with him, heâs so sweet look he even got me this necklace.â Showing you the Diamond necklace you nod, you didnât know much about this guy. If anything you never met him. Itâs ironic how much sheâs mentioned him and yet has never said his name. You donât know how old he is, how he looks. Just that he goes to the same college as the two of you. Nayoung has even tried her best to keep him from entering your dorm. For whatever reason it is, she doesnât want him coming over. A bit secretive with him really.
âOkay are you packed?â Nodding she smiles. âGod youâre so lucky, you donât have a lot of clothes to choose.â She sighs â Well, I better get to finishing you donât have to help me anymore thanks.â Grabbing your phone you close the door to your room behind you and lock it. A gasp escapes you, eyes widening at the nude he sent.
You donât beat around the bush do ya?
Gotta show you how much youâre affecting me
Cute
My dick is cute?
Your dick looks delicious actually
Then how about you come over n suck it
Yeah but I love torturing you so keep fucking your hand for now.
Damn woman
Jaemin shut off his phone after he seen you left him on read. He was frustrated. Sexually frustrated, itâs humiliating knowing how affected he is by you. He doesnât care heâs currently humping his pillow pretending itâs you. Chest heaving, a sweaty forehead as he chases after his release. Never has he had to work for someone this much. He wouldâve given up and moved on but how could he, something about you entices him. Makes his want more, to go after you no matter the cost. He loves your banter, he loves how much you tease it keeps him on his toes. His hand going faster and faster until finally he felt the warm white liquid fall on his fingers. In the corner of his dark room, he catches his breath. Receiving another message but only groaning when he sees itâs Nayoung.
Canât wait for tomorrow!
To say you werenât cranky would be a lie. You knew youâd be getting up early you just underestimated how early. Nayoung isnât a morning person and to think she would be demanding you to get up at 3 in the morning was the last thing on your mind of possibilities. Sitting in the back of the car as Nayoung claimed she would be picking up her boyfriend on the way. You didnât mind, if anything youâd be taking the time to catch up on some needed sleep. A large blanket over you, you donât hear the door to the passenger seat open and close. A smack of lips kissing and a cheerful voice greeting him.
âIs this your friend?â Nodding, she looks back to see you asleep. âYep, she went back to sleep. She spent all night texting some guy. Kinda starting to think he doesnât exist.â Raising a brow at her as she whispered the last part. âWhys that?â Shrugging her shoulders, eyes on the road. âShe hasnât mentioned his name, refuses to let me meet him and anytime I ask about him she tries to change the subject.â Jaemin only hums before looking out the window, dark eye bags beginning to become apparent as he too wasnât exactly in the best mood. His hair was still a bit disheveled and he was only running on two hours of sleep. Guess his girlfriends friend wasnât the only one up all night texting.
By the time the three of you arrived, you woke up abruptly by the slamming of a door. âCome on y/n weâre here!â You hear Nayoung shout from outside. Stretching and getting out, youâre left with carrying in the rest of the stuff. The cabin was large, only visited a handful of times. Loud voices are heard from the kitchen as Nayoung busies herself greeting the family. Huffing when you drop Nayoungâs heavy luggage inside you bump into someone on accident. âIâm sorry!â Tall and standing before you, Jaemin props his glasses up. Dropping down his bags and sending you a forced smile. âItâs alright.â
âOh y/n! This is my boyfriend Jaemin!â The two of you freeze. Watching as she walks over to hook her arm around his. A grin on her face as she cuddles close to him. It couldnât be right? Looking over and seeing he as well seemed tense but he kept a calm face. âH-Hello.â Giggling, she shakes her head. âAlways so shy. Jaemin?â Nudging him, he seems to snap out of it. Clearing his throat before doing a quick half assed bow. âHey.â Looking between the two of you, she makes a face. âWell that wasnât awkward, anyways. Mom and dad wants to see you so shall we get going? Oh and y/n sorry we didnât have enough rooms you donât mind crashing on the couch right?â Shaking your head she smiles. âGreat! You can leave your things in my room, you know where they are right?â
Not waiting for a response she drags him into the kitchen where it erupts in greetings. Laughs and giggles are heard, taking a small peek you see her friends are also in there as well. Gawking at him as he respectfully greets them. Sighing, you grab your things and go up the stairs. âHey y/n do you mind carrying the rest of our luggages? Please, thank you!â Nayoung shouts as you were half way up the stairs.
You felt left out you werenât going to lie. But then again, when havenât you. Nayoung has always made it easy to fit in, to make conversation even though most of the time the topic always shifted over to her but overall, it was easy for her to get involved. Not you, it took a while for you to barely start lowering your walls. Just the idea of forcing yourself out of your shell sends shivers. How can you? You get the feeling Nayoungâs childhood friends donât really like you as they always stare and mutter things under their breaths. And like all the other times you visited, you spent your time on the couch petting the family cat. âIâm so happy he likes you. He hates people, if anything he still isnât quite fond of Nayoung.â Her mother giggles as she takes the other couch. Staring lovingly at the two of you. A warm smile forms on your face as you continue to pet the cat sitting on your lap. Her husband walking over to sit next to her, a mug in his hand as he nods.
âToby hates Nayoung for some reason. Even before she went off to college heâd always hide from her.â By then everyone has shifted themselves into the living room. The group surrounding Nayoung, the smile slowly drops when she sees her parents conversing with you. âYou must be a gem if Toby trusts you that much.â Her mother claps her hands. Jaemin takes a seat across from you, fighting back the look of boredom on his face. He canât help but analyze you. Can it be the same y/n heâs been texting? Since heâs arrived, he hasnât had the balls to text her. Thereâs no way the chick heâs been sexting is his girlfriends best friend. If thatâs the case, heâs screwed.
A scoff is heard from beside him, looking up and see Nayoung enter the living room. âHeâs just a dumb cat. Iâm sure heâs only using you as a cushion.â âWell if thatâs the case, Iâm honored.â You smile down at the cat who purrs. Jaemin notices the scowl on his girlfriends face. He wonders why, itâs not like she particularly likes Toby. Every time heâs come over sheâs always going on and on about how the cat terrorizes everything. âYou should be, and Jaemin too! Toby loves him!â Looking up and meeting eyes with Jaemin you gulp before looking down. A silence is met before Nayoung speaks up. âWell itâs still pretty early and Iâm tired. Jaemin lets go to bed.â One by one, everyone walks off to their bedrooms which leaves you on the couch with the grey and white cat. Head butting your hand, a few hours go by and you havenât gotten the heart to move him. The sleep drowsiness has disappeared and you made due on being on your phone for the time being. A notification is sent from your phone, Jaemin.
Itâs you isnât it?
I donât know what youâre talking about..
âYes you do.â Jumping up, you see him standing at the bottom of the stairs. âHoly shit you scared me.â By the sudden jolt, Toby has taken it upon himself to get off your lap and plop down on his cat tree. Walking closer to you, you shift uncomfortably. You donât know what to do, what can you do to make things better?
Silently getting closer, you open your mouth to explain yourself but he cuts you off. Instead he takes a seat besides you and smashes his lips on top of yours. A moan emits from you, it was quick and needy and you liked it. You liked it so much you even climbed on top of him. His arms coming around your waist to pull you closer. He smelled nice, his cologne hitting your nostrils and lips were soft and plump. Cupping his face to keep his lips on top of yours. A smile forming on his face before pulling away, âSo you were the one teasing me huh?â A blush began to form on your face before awkwardly laughing. âSo youâre my best friends boyfriend huh.â Clearing his throat he looks down uncomfortably. âListen, Iâm not the type to cheat okay? Itâs just that I kinda had no choice but to be in a relationship with her and-â
âShe trapped you yeah I know, she has done that with all of her exes.â Raising a brow he looks up at you. âReally?â Nodding, you sigh. âShe canât keep a man for the life of her so she forces one on them by using her father to get them to agree. Heâs rich and powerful, wouldnât be surprised heâd have you kicked out of college or have you be fired from your job. Blacklisted for any future opportunities and more.â âIf Iâd known earlier I wouldâve tried avoiding crossing paths. Why are you friends with her?â
âI donât know, I guess she was the only one who stayed.â âStayed? What happened if I may ask.â âI donât know, one second I had tons of friends who could rely on me and the next, I was hated.â You look down sadly. Startled when he plants a kiss on your cheek, a grin on his face as his eyes adoringly stare at you. âIâm glad I finally met you.â âIâm glad too-â. Reciprocating his kiss, you begin to grind on top of him. A groan from him only has you doing it again and again. Pushing him down on the couch as his hands roam all over your body. Piece by piece, clothes are scattered on the floor and heavy breathing gets louder. Your head is thrown back when you feel yourself stretch around him. A large hand going to cover your mouth. Leaning in, his mouth attaching itself onto your nipple and sucking. Sensitive, you begin to bounce on his lap. Hands on his chest as he guides you to go faster. Trying to keep the slapping sounds at bay. The feeling of him deep in your snatch had your head spinning, it truly has been a while since youâve had sex. It was wrong that the first person you sleep with is your best friends boyfriend but you just love it so much.
And it seems youâre not the only one. For the remainder of the weekend the two of you have gotten closer. Sneaky glances thrown and secret meet ups. When in the kitchen alone, he smacks your ass before leaving a kiss on your cheek. A shit eating grin on his face when he meets with the others. Content heâs finally getting you back for all the teasing youâve done. âAre you alright y/n? Your face is super red?â Nayoungâs mother says. âProbably a bad reaction to one of her creams. I keep telling her she doesnât have to keep putting on so many products. Going natural is just as pretty.â Nayoung sends you a smile. Speaking up for you, a strong grip on your fork, you donât bother to explain yourself. âIâm okay.â
Jaemin certainly didnât like it. And he certainly didnât like how easily you let her comment slide. âI try to say the same thing to you as well Nayoung. No reason you need fifty bottles of foundation. A day or two without it wouldnât hurt babe.â He sends her a smile before taking a bite from his food. Tensing, Nayoung is left without words. Embarrassed by the looks her friends sends her. A scowl on her face as she desperately tries to change the subject. âSo! Should we hit the beach later on?â âYes!â Her friends clap. âOkay good! After weâre done weâll pick out our bikinis!â
Bikiniâs? Nayoung never mentioned there would be swimming involved? You didnât even pack any clothes to get wet in. The closest thing you had were shorts and even then they werenât comfortable to get wet with.
âItâs a bummer you canât get in.â Nayoung pouts at you, watching you set your towel on the sand. Sunglasses on as you send her a reassuring smile. âEh itâs okay, Iâve gotten too much sun anyways-â. âYeah youâre looking a little dark, how about you stay under my moms umbrella for the time being okay? Hope you donât get too bored!â She says before scurrying off to her friends. Clenching your jaw, you try to not let her words affect you. Has she always been this snakey? Or is this you trying to justify your actions for hooking up with her boyfriend. Surely she mustâve always been this terrible to you from the beginning.
âCome on.â âHuh?â Looking over and seeing Jaemin has his hand extended you raise a brow. âWhere?â âLess questions and more walking, come on.â Allowing him to drag you away, he takes you to a near by store. âBikiniâs?â âGet one, itâs on me.â âYou donât need to-â âI want to, besides I need to get sunscreen.â He wonders off for it, and as he does so you look around the store. Eyes straying on a red two piece, you go to the fitting rooms and liking the look of it on you. Getting out, Jaemin freezes when he sees you. âHow do I look?â Checking to see if anyones watching, he pushes you inside and closes the door behind him. Dropping the bottle of sun cream and picking you up. Leaning you up against the wall he desperately connects your lips with his. Running a hand through his hair, he begins to dry hump you. A moan comes out of you that he muffled with his mouth. A hand coming to wrap around your neck and lightly squeeze. âFuck youâre so hot.â His pupils dilated as he leans in and press kisses to your chest.
Pulling the top down to reveal your perky tits. Sucking and fondling with them, looking to the side and seeing the mirror reflecting the lewd actions heâs doing. âWe should get going, donât want to raise suspicion.â You tell him with heavy breathing. Reluctantly detaching himself from you and setting you down. âDonât change.â Grabbing your clothes and lotion, the two of you walk out and make your way to the counter. Ripping off the tag and handing it to the cashier as he pays for it. By the time the two of you make your way back, you hear shouting. âBabe where have you been?â Nayoung gets closer. âNeeded sunscreen and got y/n a bathing suit.â Eyes turning to look at you, the plastic smile ready to falter. âOh! How nice..well come on letâs get in the water feels nice!â She goes for his hand but he takes a step back.
âYeah I will in a bit, you should join the others they seem pretty lost with out you.â Looking back and seeing her friends looking bored without her. âOh okay. Glad you can join us after all y/n.â She sends you a smile before going back in. Feeling a tug, you look down and see Jaemin had taken his shirt off. âHelp me put sunscreen on yeah?â
You can practically feel the daggers being thrown at you. But you ignored it, you liked making her jealous. A part of you felt proud you had the upper hand than Nayoung. Even more that itâs with her boyfriend. Turning around, you put some on his chest. Running your hands over his abs, his eyes looking directly into yours. âI really badly need to fuck you.â Rolling your eyes, you go to walk away but he stops you. âNow y/n.â
âAre you seeing this?â One of Nayoungâs friends says as they all watch Jaemin slowly put on sunscreen on you. Going up your leg and too close to your ass. âI knew it was a mistake to introduce them.â She scoffs. âCome on hun, do you really think heâll do anything with her?â âItâs not him Iâm worried, poor girl is so deprived I worry sheâll do anything for attention.â She pouts. âDonât worry, Jaeminâs too smitten for you. Heâd never be unfaithful to you.â Smiling she turns over to her friends. âThanks guys, besides weâre really strong.â âSo strong that should we assume heâll pop the question anytime soon?â
Nodding they squeal. âIâm sure he already has the ring set out for me.â She claps her hands.
âJaemin anyone can walk in on us any second!â You smack Jaeminâs bicep, currently in a dark small closet the cabin had he had managed to cramped you two inside. It was loud outside, music blasting as the others conversed with one another. Luggages were being packed and dinner was being cooked. In a few hours you were meant to be making your way back home and instead, have a clingy boy stuck to your side. A grin on his face as he leans in and kisses you. âNeed youâŠâ he pouts as he nuzzles his face in the crook of your neck. Hands beginning to roam down your side and to your back. Biting your lip when you feel him squeeze your ass, gasping when you feel his bulge after he pulled you closer to him.
âNo one will hear us mhm?â He breathes in your ear as he peppers your neck. Massaging your cheeks as he has you pinned against the wall. You canât ignore the arousal in your pants but it didnât stop you from worrying of being potentially caught. âNo sir.â Pushing him away, you reach for the door knob. Feeling him pull you inside again roughly when Nayoungâs faint voice was heard going up the stairs. âI have no idea where he went.â She tells her friends. âI bet heâs with y/n again. They have been way too close.â âIâm sure he feels bad, I mean she is the odd one out.â Nayoung reasons. âSheâs a loner Nayoung, girls like her use that to reel men in.â Clenching your jaw, you donât notice Jaemin wrapping his arms around your waist.
âIgnore them.â He whispers into your ear. Once you were sure they had left, you donât utter a word and merely walk out. Leaving him in the closet by himself.
Nayoung always assumed sheâd be the first to seal the deal between the two of you. The first to have a boyfriend, to be engaged and to start a family. Unlike her, you didnât grow up with a lot so she always had more than you. The advantages like starting her own independent life. You had to start from scratch, lots of hours working for you to save. Itâs what the world admired about you. Itâs what they respected you for, many could relate to you. And even through all the hardships you still smiled. You stayed optimistic and itâs why you had so many friends, why so many guys wanted your number instead of Nayoungâs.
âIâm sorry Iâm not interested.â âActually I wanted to see if you can give me your friend, y/nâs number.â
For a while it seemed like Nayoung was the forgotten one. It was all about her friend Y/n. What you were up to, how you were doing. She just wanted to see what the fuss was about in having so many people care about you. So the cosmetics came in, then the surgeries, the hard diets. But when they werenât enough, the lies came in.
âOh sure, but I have to say sheâs currently going through something. Chlamydia actually.â
She didnât mean for the lies to keep progressing but she just wanted to take some of the attention off you and divert it over to her.
âShe thinks youâre a freak.â
She did feel bad though when people eventually began to hate you. And before she knew it, she was the only friend you had left. Boys avoided you and girls despised you. Your last boyfriend only cheated on you because Nayoung lied to him saying you had cheated on him.
âI guess she thought you just werenât good enough, I donât know what to tell you. But, if I were her I would know I made a big mistake. Youâre a catch.â Her hand lays on top of his, a reassuring and innocent smile plastered on her face before leaning in and kissing him.
For years now she was finally on the other end, the one who everyone praised and idolized. And a part of her liked how she can control you, it felt nice to be better for once. And seeing how close you and Jaemin have gotten definitely hasnât been putting her at ease.
During dinner she made sure Jaemin sat next to her and away from you. Served him and kissed him at unconventional times. By the end of the night it seemed she was utterly in love with him, which is why she just had to rub it in just a little deeper into your face. âIâm going to tell him I love him.â Taking you by surprise, you suppress any distasteful emotion. âThatâs great! Iâm sure heâll feel the same.â He wonât. Youâre sure of that. âI want to live with him y/n.â Widening your eyes, âLive together? But what about dorms? Itâs still mandatory to be in one and you canât exactly room with a guy.â
âOnly for a few more months.â Sighing and sitting back on the couch she smiles dreamily. âIâm telling you, heâs the man of my dreams.â You didnât have much to say. Which only made you more guilty with how youâve been treating her behind her back. It seemed she really did like him, after all she has been stuck by your side when everyone else turned against you. âThen tell him how you feel.â
âWe canât keep doing this.â
Itâs been three months since the visit to Nayoungâs parents. Three months since you said youâd stop hooking up with him and finally today youâd be calling it off. âLike hell you are, what the hell y/n. Where is this coming from?â A duvet wrapped around your body, you sit up on the bed. Messy hair with smeared makeup as you donât even dare meet eyes with Jaemin. With only briefs on, he gets out of bed. Disheveled hair, muscles more prominent and the red marks you left on him still apparent. Lip stains on his neck with dark love marks going down his collar bone. A frown on his face as he demands an explanation, even when heâs upset heâs still breathtakingly attractive. âItâs not right.â A sarcastic laugh falls out of his mouth as he searches for his clothes.
âYouâre finally realizing that after months?â Looking at you for any other answers, he drops his shirt on the bed and climbs back on. Cradling your face, he looks at you worriedly. âTalk to me baby, whatâs wrong?â Feeling the tears beginning to form, you shrug him off. You donât trust your voice, thereâs a ball beginning to form and you know if you dare speak a work youâll only sob. About to get out of bed, he grabs you by the waist. âNo, youâre not running way again. Talk to me-â âJaemin youâre in a relationship with Nayoung! She loves you and even wants to live with you and here we are having sex!â
âSheâs not you!â Looking away, he huffs and wraps his arms around your torso. âI love you.â Taken by surprise, you turn to face him with wide eyes. âCome again?â âIâve never said that to any of my exes, and it sucks that this is the situation that we are in but, im not lying. I love you, not Nayoung. Itâs why I didnât say it back when she said it to me.â
âReally?â Smiling, he nods and leans in for a kiss you grant him happily. âI still think itâs wrong. Maybe if we confess then she will let you go. Yeah it will permanently ruin our friendship but you at least deserve your freedom.â Shaking his head he sighs. âItâs her father iâm worried for.â Feeling dejected, you let him pull you into a cuddle. Back under the sheets as he peppers your face in kisses. Until thereâs a loud slam on the door, eyes widening Jaemin lifts a finger to his mouth. Your door was locked thankfully.
âLet me check if sheâs homeâŠhey y/n! You home?!â Knocking on the door and trying to open it but to no avail. Shaking his head, he covers your mouth. âGuess sheâs not home.â She says, she mustâve brought someone. Getting up to change, you canât but overhear her speak.
âCanât believe youâre still friends with her after everything she did.â Confused, you lean your ear up gassing the door. âWell I mean, sheâs my best friend-â âYes but she cheated on her boyfriend.â
Cheated?
âShe didnât know what she was doing.â
Why the hell is Nayoung agreeing?
âYeah well what about her bullying you?â
You looked back at Jaemin in shock as he as well seems surprised.
âThat was years ago, sheâs getting better.â
You didnât understand why Nayoung was agreeing with such false claims. You have never cheated on your boyfriend nor have you ever bullied Nayoung.
âWell at least she got her karma right?â The girl snorts. âGetting chlamydia, having all the guys lose interest in her and having no friends- well except you. I must say I admire you. I donât know how you put up with such a mess.â
âI try my hardest.â You hear her giggle. âSheâs a loner and a social freak, the least I could do is make sure she has at least a companion or who knows she might just end it all.â âAre you saying sheâs suicidal?â âIâm saying who knows! You never know what people are thinking now a days.â
Your heart broke. All those accusations werenât real and to think more people thought they were true hurt even more. You didnât even realize you began to cry until you felt Jaemin wipe a tear away. They chatted for a few minutes before leaving and by then you have sat yourself down against the door. âWhy would she lie?â You ask to no one.
Jaemin stayed quiet. Arms crossed and a clenched jaw, he immediately understood what Nayoung had done. âIsnât it obvious?â Looking up at him with red swollen eyes you shake your head. âShe spread false rumors about you!â âWhat why?â
âCome on baby.â Crouching down, he pulls a strand of hair behind your ear. âYouâre gorgeous, sweet, smart. Youâre everyoneâs type.â âAre you saying she did it out of jealousy?â Scoffing you shake your head. âNo, Nayoung is the pretty one. Everyone wants her.â âI donât. I want you.â âYouâre just saying that to make me feel better.â You scoff. âOkay then letâs talk to your ex.â âWhat why?â âBecause we both know the cheater in your past relationship wasnât you.â The memory still hurt. You never did find out who he cheated on you with only that he was âmuch happierâ and that you werenât shit to him anymore.
âYouâre wasting your time.â Shaking his head, he pulls out his phone and begins to search for his account. âWhat are you planning to do.â âWeâre going to pay him a little visit. Come on letâs get dressed.â
âI donât think this is such a good idea-â Cutting you off by giving you a kiss, he gives you a smile. âJust hold my hand, he does anything to hurt you I promise Iâll kick his ass.â Walking into the cafe, you immediately spot your ex. Deep eye bags adorned his face, his hair was longer and dead. He looked much scrawnier and almost exhausted even. Taking a seat in front of you, you donât have the words to even greet him.
âY/n. Jaemin.â He speaks.
âWhat can i do for you.â
âThe truth.â Jaemin cuts to the chase. Quirking his brow, he leans forward. âThe truth?â âWho did you sleep with?â Jaemin tells him sternly. Scoffing, he chuckles dryly and shakes his head. âWhy am I hearing an accusingly tone. Shouldnât we start with who y/n slept with first?â
âI didnât sleep with anyone.â You speak up.
âRight. Like I believe that-â
âDid Nayoung tell you anything.â Jaemin cut him off. âNayoung helped me realize I was wasting my time on her.â He glares at you. âDid she tell you she was cheating?â Staying quiet, his face falls. âWhy do you care?âŠwait arenât you her boyfriend.â His jaw clenched and he sits up straighter.
âSo youâre the guy she dumped me for.â Eyes widening, you look at him. âNayoung was the girl you slept with?â Scoffing he shakes his head. âI didnât sleep with her we only kissed.â He huffs. âShe told me you cheated on me, she comforted me and we kissed. She had me to believe she wanted to be with me but when I broke things off with you she ghosted me.â The two of you send each other looks, âWhy? Was that not what really happened?âŠâ
You felt betrayed. You wonder how long has it been since sheâs been a snake to you.
âShe told me you kissed my boyfriend.â
âShe said you had chlamydia.â
âI heard her say you were mentally unstable.â
You wanted to believe it was all a lie but it made sense why everyone suddenly avoided you like the plague. No one daring to befriend you or ever ask you out. You were sure youâd die a loner if it wasnât for Nayoung and now you come to find out you were put into this situation because of her.
You couldnât stop your heart from squeezing in agony. The friend you considered a sister you cared for so deeply had ruined your life out of what? Spite? Jealousy? Fun even?
The guilt you had building in you disintegrated almost instantly. You donât have quite the perfect idea as to how you plan on getting even with her, how youâre going to help Jaemin get out of his god forsaken relationship with her, how youâre going to let the world know just how a trashy person she really is but you do know one thing, if youâre going to keep sleeping with her boyfriend youâre going to do it without a care in the world. Holding hands together literally behind her back when the three of you go out for ice cream, his subtle hand on your thigh when you go to the movies. The glances you give one another when you two had no other choice but to be dragged by her at a fancy restaurant with friends. Having sex in the parking lot after making an excuse to leave early. Making out while sheâs showering and even sexting each other with her around. You no longer cared, and instead it made you just a tiny bit better knowing Nayoung no longer had it all,
âThey completely cut me out and I donât know why! Can you believe that?! After everything I did for them they have the audacity to treat me like dirt? And thatâs not even mentioning the weird looks Iâve been receiving from guys. Itâs like Iâm infected or something.â No but rumors are you caught a case of syphilis
BUZZâŠ
Come over, I need you now.
Photo Sent
You were finally taking your life back from her. Piece by piece.

OMG HIII im so excited for a creepypasta writer :3 may i please request you write for hoodie nd masky, reader also being a proxy!!!! it could be general hcs or whatevs, up to you!! if you dont want to do this req, its ok, if u want me to req smthn else u can always pm me
HIII and thank you so much! I hope I complied with your request (sorry if I didn't).
Characters included: Reader (as proxy), Slenderman (named sometimes as Boss), Masky and Hoodie + mention of other proxies.
Small Warnings: mention of kidnapping, mention of dizziness, actions of light bullying, mention of broken bones, deep cuts, bruises, killing and curse words. Proxies are not kind toward newbie at all :(
â ïžWriter's Noticesâ ïž: I think I expanded the request without intending to? I'm not sure about that. I just like to give a lot of informations about the characters, so I also put a very light backstory of the Reader. I hope this doesn't bother you and, of course, if you wish, you can skip everything and go to the part that interests you the most. I'm not judging. Please enjoy!
đđŽđđŸđ đŽđđ· đ»đđđ·đŒđž đđŒđđ» đŽ đđ
đđđ đ
đžđŽđ·đžđ
HOW DID YOU BECOME A PROXY?
You are probably in contact with kids/young adults who saw Slenderman;
Maybe a babysitter or a psychiatrist;
The fact is that you will never encounter proxies initially;
It is very important for Slenderman to decide for himself his servants;
Toby had once brought a girl into the mansion unbeknownst to Boss... Let's say she stayed for a short time;
Of course, Toby doesn't remember her anymore;
One day someone tells you about this strange, tall and thin man who appears in their dreams and in the woods;
However, one day you were normally on your way home when you started to feel dizzy;
And... surprise! Shortly afterwards you were in a dark office without any kind of light, forced to listen to a faceless man;
You don't remember much about how you get there but your attention, of course, is not centered on that small detail;
BUT WHY WERE YOU RECRUITED BY SLENDERMAN?
Most likely because you have a very good intellect and you reason efficiently;
The Big Boss really needs proxies like that;
Not an athletic person? DON'T WORRY! Slenderman already knows everything about you and what type of training you need, he already comes up with a training program just for you!
(Be grateful and don't try to run away, this tired old man ain't got no time to come and haunt you) :(
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
One surprise after another, apparently! (actually, you could easily imagine what is about to happen);
You are entrusted to some proxies who will take you under their "protective" wing;
These proxies are: Masky, Hoodie, and Toby!
But mainly Masky and Hoodie since they are the only ones who have actually done any training when they arrived at the mansion;
Toby isn't very present because he doesn't care much and would still struggle to have an initial relationship given his Antisocial Personality Disorder;
But don't worry! He'll get used to you soon!
HOW DO MASKY AND HOODIE BEHAVE TOWARDS YOU?
They are slightly heartless bitches :(
(they're actually "somehow" nice to you but not too much);
I mean they would help you with training but make fun of you whenever they can;
This mainly Masky;
Hoodie simply giggles meanly and nods;
DON'T LET THESE "INSTRUCTORS" OF YOURS FIND OUT THAT YOU'RE SENSITIVE OR THAT YOU CRY EASILY!
(This is honestly me);
I say this for your own good, really;
If Masky notices a sniffling or shining eyes from tears that would like to fall... you will find out what hell is;
You will no longer know what dignity is...
"Awwww, don't tell me our little newbie is going to cry, right?" it may be the phrase you'll hear the most;
Masky will basically yell it in the presence of ALL the residents of the mansion just to give you a reason to cry more;
"Come on Masky, can't you see that the frail little thing here is shaking? Give them some personal space."
Another reality revealed, but this time it's Hoodie's fault;
He probably won't yell it like Masky, but he'll still say it in a higher-than-average tone of voice;
BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY VERY BADASS?
If they notice that you are actually very neutral and don't care about their nasty comments, they will simply stop;
After all, it's no fun if there are no reactions;
Basically, they will just give you the advice you need to improve;
However, you may also have a short fuse!
Maybe you shouldn't point it out, you might unintentionally push yourself further, and since Masky also has a short fuse, you could start a fight with him;
If there's Hoodie nearby he'll stop Masky before killing you (but you'll have some deep cuts, bruises and, at worst, broken bones);
However, in the absence of Hoodie/other proxies, you will be killed without much scruples;
Butttt... consider yourself lucky because usually Hoodie and Masky are together all the time, either for tasks and because they have established a good relationship and don't spend much time with the other residents;
Above all they are good instructors;
They know when you've reached your limit and will stop you if they see you're going too far;
They will give you advice and plan a diet if they see that it is necessary;
It could have been worse, couldn't it?
WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE DURING TRAINING?
As said before, they would certainly help you a lot;
Both with advice and by encouraging you to keep going;
(they will become more and more familiar with this as time goes on);
However, I like to imagine that Hoodie does the exercises with you, both to keep fit and to be an example for you;
Masky observes the two of you, smoking his cigarettes;
In some cases he will join you;
(he made a bet on who does the most running laps with Hoodie);
"You know, Y/N, Masky has never been able to beat me in a running challenge", Hoodie usually makes fun of Masky;
"For fuck's sake, just shut up!" and Masky responds in a bad way;
While they may seem quite calm while training you, don't forget that they are professional assassins;
You don't really want to see them when they have to torture/kill someone;
But one day, for sure, you're going to see that because, ops!, from now on you are a proxy;
Good luck with that!
Okay, that's all about our two favorite proxies!
I really have to write headcanons about their backstories because I've honestly always wanted to do that.
I hope you enjoyed this!

So! with the whole cas and malachi backstory, and them being so look alike. is there like. a possible scenario, maybe cas is away for some reason maybe it was a trap to lure him there so malachi can slip in idk, then malachi wanting to like idk play with cas. just to show up to see what he sees in gortash or something. step in the shoes of his siblings for now. he tries to pretend to be cas with magic or something and tries to see what he sees in the guy and see how long he can keep this up. ofc i dont think itll last long, but idk i think its just kinda cool to visualize. the unsettling-ness of like madness of it maybe. like its a doppleganger but not really.
like maybe he slips in the side of gortash's bed and then something is just not right. because theres no warmth in his eyes as he tries to "lovingly" caress gortash. just like a particular curiosity of a scientist like examining a specimen. idk its just interesting to think of drawing the little quirks of facial expression and maybe horror build up but not really. i imagine this would only be a threat rn with gort being so big these days.
then maybe when cas rushes in to like want to kill mal for even touching gort and doing this shit, we could just see either gort mid pulling away cuz he realized this isnt cas, but like for cas he mightve interpreted it as like different that he was being replaced and how could u fall for this whatevs
or maybe what cas would see is more brutal? maybe gortash tied. and maybe mal sitting pretty waiting for him to see if this is what he was exchanging for, something this fragile. grotesque. just outright not getting it. what cas sees and accidentally mocking him or something to be better than this (aka be the worst) that he expected better. i think mal would die but yk its kinda fun to see. like mal being what cas should be doing if he was as "perfect" as he used to be just to rub it in that maybe hes getting soft and weak.
sorry idk im just a sucker for weird doppleganger like tropes and weird sibling relationship (in fiction cuz idk its just so interesting to explore the tight rope tension and obsessing so much u hate them but u want to be them and have to have them) if this is way too weird and ooc, just ignore this and delete, sorry! also not requesting or anything suggesting, just wanted to imagine it and share it with u
first of all thank u so much for sharing your thoughts nd stuff on this honestly Iâve been thinking about it quite a bit sinceđđ to be honest I have played with thoughts of a similar scene before as well, especially because of the whole âMal is pretty good at transformative magicâ since he always wanted to be someone else, especially someone Cas would desire. I think what you described honestly comes reaaaally close already to how this would play out, so let me just add my own thoughts
Let me just start off by saying that Mal, at the time where he finally got out of the Abyss, wasnât quite like he was back then anymore. To put it simply he lost his mind from the pain and seclusion he went through. He still had his weird obsession with Cas obviously, but there was anger behind it now, especially after Mephistopheles told and showed him Casâ genuine affection and weakness when it came to Gortash. The thing with Mal is that yes he was always rejected by Cas but Cas also never showed interest in anyone else, so he accepted that, telling himself that Cas is just unable to and if he was able to he would obviously love nd be obsessed with him he same was he was. But now with Mal seeing that Cas actually loved another man, and not just that but a man that is so very weak and just a mortal in the eyes of every devil, thereâs more genuine hatred and hurt behind it.
When Mal first approached Cas again he was in the crowd of the black keep's throne room before trying to attack Gortash. It wasnât very serious at that moment, it was his task, but really he just wanted to see if Cas really was really reduced to being Gortash's "guard dog" as Mephistopheles lovingly put itđ Maybe it disppointed him in a way, he snapped out of his unconditional love a little with everything that Cas had done to him combined with his fall from grace and his affections for Gortash. But still, it's not like he would ever be over the whole thing
so Mal can't fool Cas with his transformations he knows that and Cas would kill him if he's careless but Gortash? It makes sense that he might attempt once, trying to understand why it would ever be Gortash over himself that deserves Cas' love and it's not like he'd be afraid of him. It'd be a night scenario as you suggested yeah, maybe Gortash thinking Cas is back early but it doesn't last long - Malachi was always bad at imitating Cas' behavior and speech and never understood his brother really, even if desiring him so. So yes, Gortash would figure it out fast but he's cautious, and Mal gets no answer to his question anyways. There's nothing even slightly special about Gortash in his eyes, so he succumbs to his hatred again. He could've gotten the job of killing Gortash to punish Cas done here but I figure he wouldn't be able to just do that, Mal is similar to Cas in the way where he'll always be drawn to causing pain instead of a fast death. So he tries to torture Gortash for a bit, let out his frustration and hurt about *this* being chosen over him, especially since Mal sacrificed so much for Cas as well and would've let Cas made him fat too - not like he understands where it comes from though
Anyways yeah it doesn't last for long, there's only so little time where Cas would leave Gortash's side and usually not without being able to know what's going on. Gortash would just be stalling too, trying to talk and infuriate him until Cas comes to finish the job but Mal doesn't die here, he just retreats so report back to Mephistopheles since he's not meant to fight Cas aloneđ
also I doubt that Gortash would've gotten as far as to actually be intimate in any way with the transformed Mal because he is VERY unstable at this point, he would've just revealed himself a few minutes in by acting insane, but Cas definitely still asked if he let Mal touch himđ Same reason why there isn't much "playing" or baiting Cas or the like though, Malachi at this point, after what he went through in the Abyss and all, wasn't really able to control himself, not for long anyways. Maybe Cas telling him to stop gently at any point would've been the only thing that could make him snap out of it, but Mal was more mindless weapon than himself at this point and while he could form clear thoughts they were always soon overpowered by uncontrollable emotions

OK SO :D
listen man. listen. jason and reyna have the potential for the most interesting dynamic in the entire rrverse and i stand by that ok. like imagine. two people who were best friends are suddenly torn apart and when they reunite through no fault of either of them one cares a lot more than the other now. losing jason was the worst thing reyna ever felt and then he came home and looked her dead in the eyes and treated her like a stranger. god i am so unwell about them anyway. im mad that this never gets explored in canon it has so much potential. the fucking tragedy of it all. they avoid each other now because one will inevitably end up saying something a little too familiar and its miserably awkward for just. everyone tbh. they cared so deeply for each other amd then it was just gone. she spent months searching for him overworked and unable to even grieve properly and he just didnt care anymore. its unclear how much memory he got back but its obviously not as clear as percyâs and thats so interestingg?? knowing you cared for this place, for this person, so much it was a part of you, and just. having no emotional attachment to it anymore. not knowing how to get back to that even if you want to. oughhhh. not knowing how to tell them the person they knew is dead or at least unrecognizable. if you take every moment and memory that makes up a person away and put newones in their place is it still the same person? she loved him more than anything. he doesnt know how to be the person she loved anymore. he doesnt know if he wants to. he avoids her, and she lets him, because really what is there to say? she still cares. he doesnât. i dont even know how to articulate this okay just. they were best friends. and now everything has changed. and how do you cope with that. what do you do, when your best friend looks you in the eyes and treats you like a stranger? what do you do, looking a stranger in the eyes and knowing she was your best friend?
and nobody ever talks about their relationship??? like they either get ignored or treated like weird exes which is just so not what this is. anyway the implication that reyna had a crush on him was stupid thats called *amatonormativity* reyna is arocoded thank you goodnight. i am so utterly deranged about them <3
OMG ANON THANK YOU FOR THIS but literally ikr?? their entire relationship (not in a couple-y way) is just so complex and ends so tragically and itâs like. ughhhhh it literally drives me crazy to think about it and itâs so UNFAIR for both of them because reyna has to look at jason and see someone looking back with a strangers eyes and itâs like. hes there. but heâs NOT because heâs so different and then for jason he can see her but he canât feel the emotional attachment that SHOULD be there he only knows that he once had it and instead itâs this empty feeling and. the worst part is that they never got to confront the situation with each other!! jason got back to new rome and when he left almost instantly theyâd barely exchanged any words with each other so like. the most either can do is soo many presumptions and MAYBE time couldâve fixed it. maybe they couldâve one day talked it out; but god fucking damn it because they didnât have time and the next time she got to properly see him he was in a coffin. itâs so tragic it really really HURTS and I canât explain how it feels but u get it aishsjbsksmsksns
and no frrr reducing them to exes of any sort is just soo annoying because itâs completely taking away EVERYTHING abt their dynamic and just as you said all thatâs very much linked to amatonormativity. WOW sorry for the rant here but yes im also very very deranged abt three <3
ty for this tho, anon! <333
#I personally like to live in my deluded world where nothing tragic happened Jason got the full depth of his memories back and he never died#And everyone lived happily ever after. the end.#asks#anon#jason grace#reyna avila ramirez arellano#pjo asks

what's your honest opinion about the love interests? (both mcl and eldarya)
for example, no matter how handsome some of them are, I just can't like them (in fact, most of them are annoying to me)
ugh no yall gonna hate me forever lmao- ANYWAYSđ„č
nath & nevra: they are so similar, their story, behavior so its pretty easy to love them both (i mean if they r your type lol), they can do no wrongđ i cant really express my love for them, but yall know how much they mean to me so WHATEVER, just stan them !
armin: ahh he's such a cutie but also was very thoughtless, he did some bad shit in high school, but idk i just love him so much, best friends brother AND the gamer boyfriend trope are VERY entertainingđ
kentin: yeah well im not that okay w going from good boy to bad boy bc why???? and he was pretty rude to candy, when they were childhood friends and she did nothing wrong to him so i didnt understand it, but when he changed he was such a cutie. alternate life kentin is just ughhh THE CUTEST.
castiel: the good girl x bad boy trope is awesome, but sometimes he's an asshole, especially when he teases nath (high school), hate him for that, but his character development was cool and tbh i really REALLY like him w amber so... i have to say that she would've been the better choice, not candy. DON'T HATE ME. they were just more interesting TO ME. he and candy r lovely as friends tho <3
priya & hyun: they are cute and good friends! priya deserves everything and more <3
rayan: unpopolar opinion: hes ugly. and what the fuck. a teacher? lol.
eric: đ you dont want me to talk about this shithead, worst """love interest""" ever. please, you cant even call him as it lmao
lysander: well... ah please dont exile me, but hes a colorless character. the whole person is boring as hell to me.
ezarel: MAN I MISS HIM SM... hes such a silly character, im mad beemoov didnt bring him back in s2 and that nevra never talks abt him when they were like brothers. id love to see him and miiko in ep 20 (im a delulu<3).
leiftan: idk i just love his demonic side and his obsession with erika in s1đ€đ€ he's so supportive, but in s2 his story is so sad lol, he deserves better. he's not even that happy anymore-,, i love the tension between him and nevra lmaoo
valkyon: :) i love him as a friend and he def deserves so much better. i wish they could bring him back:/
uhh... help. ill be short.
the traitors: so... lance in s1 was EVERYTHING. i loved how cute he was with erika once or twice lol, but still, as the enemy its something. i just dont understand why beemoov didnt see the potential in season ONE ; the enemies to lovers trope would have been the greatest. seriously. uhm... no comment for season 2. i hate him as much as i can, lets be honest he looks like an annoying rat (SORRY) and im sorry beemoov, but i will NOT accept the enemies to lovers NOW after he killed his brother. erika had every opportunity to kill him, but ofc beemoov, keep him.
yeah about mathieu, hes as colorless as lysander, but even more.
manifesting an execution for both <3 (still a deluluđ)
if you still like me after all this, i love u:')

Arknights, 2 and 13
2 because i'm curious
13 because of the ask i got :)
Thank you for the prompts annie!!! 2. Oh jeez to pick from three??? To pick from three??? I guess if I had to pick (and this isnt from most to least fav just an arbitrary order) Goldenglow is one of my all time favourites, I love her design sooo much its so cute I stockpiled emotes and used her as an icon even before I actually started playing the game, and then when I actually got to Light Sparks in Darkness I was glued to the event the whole time... her story about trying to give the Infected and poor of Caladon dignity and having such a simple dream crushed by the greed of the rich in the area hit really close to home... I don't think people talk about the scene where Haze talks her down from committing suicide enough, that scene is REALLY good and one of the standout moments in Arknights for me. Also s3 carries me through every boss thank u susie <3
I probably have to choose between Silence and Ptilopsis cuz they're so intertwined so it would be sort of pointless to just do both of them for 2 and 3. I'll go with Silence cuz she has way more screentime even though I do love Joyce a whole whole bunch Unlike GG I had 0 clue about her before I started playing and sort of experienced her story out of order, I read Dorothy's Vision and was like "yeah she's cool :)" and then didn't think about her that much and then I finally got convinced into reading the manwha and it transformed my mind forever... the complexity of her story and relationship with Ifrit and Saria and Rhine Lab, how selfless & passionate she is to make up for the things she did wrong... ;-; < 3333. The underdog story of all of these great minds in columbia being unfolded by a tired, dedicated 5 nothing owl mom is so good. I also really love her design and Nori might be my favourite AK artist so every piece of art he does of her I love seeing. (also i really like guardians of gahoole as a kid so im obssessed with owls)
^ the bubo bubo For my third I could go with like, Specter or Muelsyse or Flametail or any other character within my favs who actually has lore to base my love upon them on but I wont. Pudding
Pudding :) Shes so cute. Let me get straight to the point. I have seal 13. I don't want to be too negative on my account hashtag peace and love... BUT... Related to earlier mentions... I kind of can't get behind Redblade/GG anymore. It's not necessarily that I hate the idea of them together, but it feels like "red miraculously showing up to save GG from problems" is pretty much the weakest storytelling aspect of Light Sparks in Darkness that exists just to move the plot along and as a whole the pairing almost always feels like it severely downplays the depths of her character in favor of STRONG MAN protect CUTE GIRL. It's a very stereotypical M/F pairing I'm much more interested in her relationship with Quercus or Haze, both of who have seen Susie at her lowest points and reached out to support her, as opposed to Red who pretty much just like. is nice to her and saves her from goons Also every single male doc / female operator pairing kinda grosses me out, it's pandering that reduces the characters to one note caricatures of themselves. If you read doc as male all of his actual in-universe relationships are made less interesting by being romantic or you are inventing a sex god chad that does not exist to magically seduce operators that do not interact with him in the story. I was going to call it self-insert garbage but the male!doc/female operator fan content i have seen is an insult to self-insert garbage.
[I don't hate m/f pairings btw mr nothing kroos nation. Men getting pegged. Mountain and domma and/or robin is cute too]
P.S. I like wracked my brain to find a yuri pairing i didnt like becasue i dont think being like. straight people are NOT COOL is going to be controversial at all on tumblr dot gov but i legitimately could not think of a popular one that i couldn't at least slightly get behind. even the worst yuri mischaracterization is fine to me ive seen the horrors of gachabro fancomics
#arknights#goldenglow#pudding#silence#its pretty late here and im pretty tired LOL so this is pretty rambly... thank you for the ask!!#suicide mention

Hello Myu!!!
Can I request a riano headcanon from a supa strikas?
Because there is very little content related to it on this platform.
Bye <3
riano headcanons
GODD U DONT KNOW HOW HAPPY I AM TO WRITE THIS LIKE LITERALLY IM VIBRATING I LOVE BARKA SO MUCH SILLY LITTLE PURPLE MEN CKSMDMKSMSMSMâ
honestly i bet he's kinda the guy who the media would portray as a big flirt/playboy superstar but deep down is a hopeless romantic and genuinely cares about making deep connections with other people. but this desire for emotional connection is what also makes him an inherent people-pleaser, he has to give the people what they want or else they won't want to be around him anymore!
this was his genuine thought process when his mentor relationship with golare started going a bit abusive. his team literally had to tell him that the way golare was forcing his body wasn't good for him and help riano gain the backbone to fire him. (he missed their friendship deeply throughout that time, golare was like a father figure to him)
once golare had been reinstated as barka's coach however, it was all water under the bridge for riano. he was genuinely happy to have his friend back, and to see goldie (the fish he bought golare) doing so well. seeing goldie being well taken care of reassured riano that the friendship he had with golare wasn't one-sided.
anyways barka fc are like his brothers, they all look out for each other in a way (i.e. riano offering free rides/being the designated driver at club outings). but they care for him in return, serving as a support system so that he doesn't crumble under the constant media attention.
should i mention that i don't really see riano as an alcohol drinker? he goes to the clubs purely for the vibes and to enjoy a night out with his teammates. (hah gay)
loves fun drinks though, give that man some sort of cool mocktail and he'll be all over it taking cool aesthetic pictures for his instagram, or whatever the instagram equivalent is in supa strikas.
speaking of his instagram, he loves posting about literally anything that piques his interest, yeah he does some usual behind the scenes posts during practice or after winning a game and whatnot, but he also likes bringing his fans along to see some of his other interests like the weekly latin dance classes he's been taking up. or he'll see a cool bird and post it to his story real quick i dunnoâ
random thought but this man could rock a pair of stilettos no problem.
source: the one time riano actually managed to get blackout drunk he pulled a whole choreographed drag routine out of his ass, including the black 10 inch high stilettos of course. they have a video of it but they don't dare post it online, it's a team inside joke only >:((
golare has seen the video though and compliments riano on being a good dancer, and riano rues the fact that he was so drunk he forgot the literal routine, he wants to do it again ://.
anyways i'd like to think that riano is a very honorable woman respecter, when girls flirt with him he only discourages it when it goes a little too far (words are one thing, touching him is another). but his type is definitely someone more down-to-earth.
man, woman, whatever else it doesn't matter to him. once a person catches his eye he'll do his best to get closer, he likes to be friends first before progressing into anything romantic. wants to get to know them and let them know him typa thing, no need to rush.
once he does get to that stage though he becomes a hoe for hand holding, or when his partner wraps their arm around his. vice versa as well the man loves his physical affection. wants to reassure his partner that no matter how the media portrays him he will remain loyal no matter what.
deep down i'd like to think he dates with marriage/the future in mind but he won't force it if he does end up reaching a romantic stage with his partner.
#supa strikas#supa strikas riano#supa strikas headcanons#i wanna do more barka hc's ngl they're so silly and not talked about#(aka their goalie cough cough)#riano is such a sweetheart deep down pls love him#silly little spanish man take me by the hand#myu writes đž

whats the biggest trade points of Clan Phrauge? and are they open to lets say other traveling dragons looking for goods or services?
VERY MUCH SO! The Bluelake Lane, owned presently by Alvery Labrie, is the primary way to get goods into Phrauge, and is conveniently closer to the Burrow Market than one would think hehe!!
The Bluelake Lan runs from Dragonhome, cuts through the Tangled Wood, then comes back around into the Scarred Wasteland in this little area, and runs right through the Gabbro and into the city Anura which is presently Phrauges capital, then out of the clan itself.
Alvery specifically owns the part of this lane that is within The Gabbro (city in dragonhome bounds but belongs to phrauge) and vets goods coming in from dragonhome and the tangled wood before they go in. Or he turns his eyes away when goods go towards the burrow market, which sits really low in the cliff face on Plagues wall in that giant ravine between plague and earth
Alvery has quite a bit of connections when it comes to this trade route, and more often than not can be found at Phrauges trading points! Which are: The Burrow Market, The Gabbro, and Old Phrauge. But in order to know what the burrow market even is, you'd have to be in some severely shady territory, so generally most Normal Individuals would point you to Gabbro or Old Phrauge when it comes to trading.
All three sections are absolutely rife with business coming in and out of these cities. Phrauge is quite literally built on this trade as the clan sits on the meeting point of three flights!
The Burrow Market is especially crowded with a vicious market taking up three layers in a big ass cave underneath the scarred wasteland, and the main market that attracts dragons down there is actually the Silver Market. You can make just about ANY deal down here, but dont expect immediate success, and DO NAWWWT go into this market without some kind of guide because you'll either get scammed to literal death or piss off the wrong person just by breathing in their direction. Lots of clans buy fighters out of the burrow, take part in the egg trade, or criminals/exiles/etc. hide out here to avoid getting murked. Yippee!
The Gabbro is just about as old as Old Phrauge, but the trading in the market here is a bit more well known than Old Phrauges post. It's a lot less complicated (and more safe) to perform normal trades, getting regular work, etc etc here and is where most travelers would actually go when it comes to Phrauges whole trade points. This is where you would most frequently see Alvery when hes not doing his rich man things
As for Old Phrauge, the market here is a lot smaller than the Gabbros! Old Phrauge is just. Old! And while Bawkrya is making moves to update this part of the clan the best he can without pissing off the elders (same with the temples/older parts of the gabbro), most would really only go here for antique type things, historical interest reasonings, or to get services that only really the elders can provide anymore (namely in relation to Phrauges tilework, or overall how they used to build their homes). It's still a decently good place to go for trade though, but it Is harder to get any success if you're not already pretty well established.
Fortinbras is Another important figure when it comes to these trade routes/operations, especially as the head of Clan Relations! hes usually SUUUPER busy but being able to talk to this guy will get u hooked up to literally Whatever you need at all. like anything. you get his stamp and you're literally golden in Old Phrauge and the Gabbro (not so much the burrow though).
Clan Phrauge also deals exports/imports thru the Acridi Harbor which sits on the plague/water border! Business can be found here, but the harbor is just as dangerous as the burrow, if not more dangerous because of how absolutely filled to the brim with ghosts it is, but again if you have someone who knows their way around, or an invitation in particular, you should be able to get through and look around the market/city with ease. Bawkrya also particular has deals going on with Matvei of the Crimson Beauty and Jisa of the Sapphira, two ghost pirates that the citizens of Phrauge just really.......... dont like................. but i dont remember why. LMFAO
theresprobably like more but its midnight for me and i cant think right now <- worked all day. but trade is a very important aspect of the clan especially when it comes to import/export with other clans! So if any1 is ever interested in setting up goods to be traded amongst clans. (holds my hand out to you) lets set up trade routes together
#Asks#actualmanedrasa#THANK U FOR THE ASSSKSS!!!!!!!!!!!!#Anura City is primarily focused on higher education#theres also another city iirc but i cant remember what its called. another education based city.#so magic/alchemy/etc. education & trade are really important for phrauge#and then theres the malignant redwood. (2000 trees and destroyed remnants of another clan#haha. one day something will happen in that area. stares blankly

!!! Mars does get over his internalized homophobia and !!! He ends up with Damienđ he gets along with Lucien (Damiens son) pretty well as Mars was major punk in his teen/young adult years (he still has his piercings and a few little tattoos) Lucien thinks he's badass even if he doesn't still dress all punk anymoređ Damien is very appreciative that Mars understands his son so well because he was low-key confused about half the shit Lucien says or doesđ
Also Mars wears a white tank top with ripped black jeans and bulky beltđ (so he dresses like Logan Howlett basically because damnnn is that outfit sođ)
Mars gives Lucien some of his old clothes, with permission from Damien ofc, like old leather jackets, a patch vest, some accessoriesđȘ and Mars' daughter loves gardening!!! She sees Damiens fancy ass garden and is so impressed she asks him so many questions about how he takes care of it, where he gets his seeds, etc. Their kids getting along with the other was definitely a big part in Mars and Damien moving forward with their relationshipđ because no matter how much ya like someone if your kids don't vibe with them, it's gonna be a huge mess
And just gonna say that Damien absolutely loves biting and being bit, Mars comes back from Damiens house and has so many bites all over his neck but Damien is even worse, luckiky his usual attire hides it but when he's at work??? He has to cover up with his makeup because there's so many bites you'd think he got attacked by an animalđ the bites are all over his torso and thighs toođ Mars is so feral, bro is pent up and finally has a pretty boy to fuckđ„đ„đ„
Also !!!
I'm rewatching the xmen movies so I can be caught up for deadpool and wolverine (whenever I watch it) and Logan in the first movie with no shirt underneath the jacket???!! The way he cares so much got Rouge??? husband material and rather material I gotta breed this man immediatelyđ„đ„đ„
-đ±
HELLO THATS AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFUL WAY TO WRAP UP HIS STORY ARC I love when a character ends up having a really good relationship with their partners kid it makes my heart so full!! And I know heâs overjoyed having a stepson who has similar interests that he used to have!! Also the outfit of choiceJesus Christ?! How does Damien get anything done around himđ§đ»ââïž
AND THE KIDS ARE GREAT FRIENDS TOO?? I LOVE THIS SO MUCY!! Iâm so happy all the puzzle pieces fell into place and they can have a happy and thriving relationship wishing them the utmost best for the future!!

Ikemen Vampire (w/ Animate) - Digital Archive rambling
mm sorry i have been posting nothing. but the few mobile games ive been playing are very uhhh unimpressive in output. ill try to translate stuff i found mildly amusing tho if that interests y'all but u see today im powered with annoyance. the most empowering emotion when it comes to getting stuff done
so cybird decided to make a âdigital archiveâ on animate for a crisp ~1500 yen. the description was kinda vague (+ i dont have the ikesen one, which i think exists? idk idc) so i was curious. iirc there were âdeluxeâ preorder vers with acryl stands, while this basic preorder one comes with a sheet of glossy paper. u can purchase the code by itself the day of release, so idk wtf they were thinking. dawg i spent $30 USD to ship this bc i timed my forwarding shipments poorly sigh
a âdigital archiveâ according to whoever set this up is just a lazy online artbook. if you like full body shots this is fine (...doesnât have all of them), otherwise itâs kinda garbage. ig thereâs a niche for it, as ikevam downgraded the quality of the character portraits in-game a yr or so ago, but lol man they couldnât even provide all of the story CGs. donât see the point in making the former a secret anymore as all of the main stories are 3+ yrs old and said art is used for public promo anyway i was curious if theyâd provide all of Galileoâs emotion portraits (since the smile one hasnât been seen in HD yet) but they conspicuously left out all the ones we havenât seen. they donât even provide shots of jeanneâs uncovered face....... the most important lesson was remembered today. never get emotionally attached to a GaaS
idk if u wanna pay a few bucks to look at legs, feet, and backgrounds theyâve got u covered tho
#ikemen vampire#ikevamp#between this the bday event revival and the upcoming election my excitement for ikevam is at an all-time low#voltage has been doing (crickets) for me so thats doubly sad#kinda hype for drakes story tho but i cant help but feel like im gonna get frustrated at it lol#i feel like i need a new rambling tag#yakocchi wont stfu abt smth#yea that looks good

sreedie. it is time.
NO SOKKA baby people want to be your friend you just DONT LET THEM
pls sokka thinking he can gaslight himself out of being in pain is so in character but so. goddamn Frustrating
sokka is giving anna from frozen with his whole âmy firebenderâs awake so IM awakeâ deal
listen I get why sokka is like oh I should cut back on the swearing if I wanna Grow as a person but like,,, as an australian the concept of swearing being Bad is just so foreign to me lmao
I think itâs a really interesting component of the zukka relationship (highlighted by your traumatic drowning scene thx sreedie) that sokkaâs instinct is to try to hide in/behind zuko??? like heâs obviously very protective of zuko too, but I think that in a way, even when sokka is on the offensive and is the person defensive zuko from the outside world heâs still using zuko as like, idfk a shield?? of sorts??? to deflect away his fear for himself and all that jazz⊠does that make any sense whatsoever????? idfk lads
STOP ik itâs a super serious moment but all I could think about when sokka was like âhe had to do it for zukoâ wAS THE FUCKING let me do it for you tiktok sound T-T
not aang talking like an actual certified therapist at 12 years of age omfg- wish I was that emotionally well adjusted fr
damn sokka really said #codependecy
FUCK PLEASE TELL SOKKA ABOUT YHE FUCKINF VEINS PLEASE SREEDIE IM STRESSED AS ALL HELL
F U C K
Y E S
finally ohmygod
katara: I can feel the toxins in zukoâs blood
iroh externally: oh?
iroh internally: whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck
LMFAO zuko calling sokkatara momo while his body is actively trying to kill itself as a JOKE is the most zuko thing ever. the most comedic thing about this boy is his absolutely Disastrous timing (by which I mean itâs impeccable)
PRISON PALS I still love that moniker <3
noooo not zuko worrying about shen when we know damn well shen got kebabed >:(
can katara please tell sokka that zuko wants him by his side. like girl. please.
okay I really do Not want this to happen, nor do I think it actually Will happen bc uhm duh, but it would be like,, so ironic of zuko did just die. like they went through all that and for what LMAO (itâs not funny itâs Not Funny why am I giggling to myself)
FINALLY A MENTION IF THE MIRACULOUS TEETH KEEPING OF ZUKKA NATION
lmao sokka is worrying himself into a early grave bc he cares so much about zuko but heâs also 100% ready to immediately assume that zuko let him down by outing sokka as a liar (I mean heâs right, but still. harsh)
woah woah woah sokka calm your tits man, rasu might be sex on legs but your sister is only 14 and thatâs just gross
SEE rasu my reasonable child <3 (heâs also so snarky I actually love him so. much.)
insane how fast sokka switches from ârasu >:(â to ârasu :Dâ when he learns that rasu knows zuko lol
YOU CANT TAKE THE NERD OUT OF SOKKA BABYYY (same.)
âsipping the sauceâ LMAO
uh yeah rasu I think jee has every right to be worried ngl
sokka is just out here exposing himself bc heâs JEALOUS I cannot anymore with this boy
âprince zuko is a character without trying to be oneâ yKW I JUST REALISED?? ZUKO HAS MAJOR MR BEAN ENERGY just more homocidal and uh,, traumatised
god thinking about jetâs amputation has me squeamish as FUCK
sokka rearranging his book stack so the sex book is in the middle is so relatable agsjekfpf itâs giving the same energy as getting a massage and hiding your underwear between the rest of your clothes after you get changed into the robe thing
not sokka being endeared by zukoâs love for the art of thievery <3 mood
SHIT FUCK QUON
DICKHEAD
OMG WAIT IS HE GONNA RECOGNISE SOKKA AS RHE BITXH THAT ZUKO KISSED PRIOR TO KIDNAPPING
damn. after all that and sokka just exposed himself. cant even blame it on zuko this time buddy.
you can always count on little sisters to put you back in your place (as the little sister can confirm)
woag.
not the angst train going past us like choo choo motherfuckers.
I am not going to bag katara in any way, shape, or form for pretending to be sokka to get information out of zuko bc I wouldâve so done the same thing with like,, zero hesitation. maybe Iâm just a lying liar who lies though so idk
anyways: screaming, crying, destroying your living room and smashing all your lightbulbs.
Iâm so mad that thereâs no zukka reunion BUT !! you did give us a library which I was SUPER not expecting but enthralled by nonetheless so ig Iâll have to forgive you
ANYWAYS hope life has retired from kicking you around bc thatâs my job and Iâm the only one allowed to make you suffer >:(
also I just reread my last comment and realised I already said Iâd smash all your lightbulbs so ig this is just a trend now. have fun living in medieval times forever ex-lover <3
Oh shit thatâs so true, Sokka is very Anna and Zuko is very Elsa haha. (Odd how that happened lol)
Soooo I do think Sokka depends on Zuko WAY too much, emotionally physically mentally - but if thatâs all he has to keep him waking up in the morning who am I to stop him. (But building up his own physical strength, dealing with his own issues instead of just focusing on zukos trauma, and allowing other people in his life to get close to him and then help him would be GREAT ;))
Sokkatara is now canon Iâm obsessed with the nickname leekie beloved your brain is too big.
Rasu was like âoh no this kids crazyâ & then Sokka said âtell me about Zukoâ and rasu twirls his hair and giggles âSUREâ & thatâs how friends are formed. Take notes.
Katara & Sokka just need to get into one big âgetting along shirtâ and call it a day⊠but I kind of think Sokka would try to claw his way out⊠so yeah we donât do that.
Lies are being exposed and Sokka has ZERO ground to keep standing on so he better accept the help or he is really going to drown. Ha.
