You were walking away, trying to avoid Jungwon as much as you can ever since you found out. You look back making sure you weren’t being followed by anyone. Facing forward, you continue walking. You take a brief break.

You check your phone seeing your friends spam messaging you asking where you went. You shake your head, you were busy on your phone, until that’s when you felt a tap on your shoulder. Panicked, you slowly turned around only to be met with an unfamiliar face.

Well, not unfamiliar you see him around campus, just you don’t know his name or him personally at all. You calmed down. Glad it wasn’t Jungwon. Or you would’ve ran. You raise a brow.

“Anything you need?” You ask softly to meet eyes with the boy. You noticed his hazel eyes. You admired them, they were very pretty. You shook your thoughts real quick upon hearing him speak up.

“Yeah..I was wondering..if you knew where..the library was…” oh—library..? “Oh, yeah..Just walk down there and just take a left, it should be the first building on the right..” You say pointing towards the direction.

The boy nodded.. “Thank you so much..I’ve never been there before..be the way I’m.. Joseok” Joseok..interesting.. “Yeah no problem..I’m yn..” you introduced yourself. “Don’t worry I know..well I’ve got to get going..” Joseok said at last before walking away.. you stared at him walking away.. you smiled lightly before walking where you were headed.. home.

Synopsis: You were playing Roblox until you started having beef with one player that goes by the name "mryangslays193" determined to beat the player in the game. What happens if you go to class and find out it's your crush Yang Jungwon who is the owner of the account ..?

Notes: HEY— 11 pm rn soo yeah had nothing to do and I’m trying to post more like before soo you’ll better be waiting for my fast return as I stress over here 🤓

you have to go to work so you can pay for your doctor, who is not taking your insurance right now, and if you say i can't afford the doctor's you are told - get a better job. it is very sad that you are unwell, yes, but maybe you should have thought about that before not having a better job.

(where is the better job? who is giving out these better jobs? you are sick, you are hurting - how the hell are you supposed to be well enough for this better job?)

but you go to the doctor because you had the nerve to be hurt or sick or whatever else. and they tell you that it is because you have anxiety. you try your best. you are a self-advocate. you've done the reading (which sometimes pisses them off worse, honestly). you say it is actually adding to my anxiety, it is effecting my quality of life. so they say that you are fat. they say that all young people have this happen to them, isn't it a medical marvel! they say that you should eat more vegetables. they say that you probably just need to lose a little more weight, and that you are faking it for attention.

(what attention could this doctor possibly give? what validation? that's their fucking job, isn't it?)

there is always a hypochondriac, right. someone always tells you about a hypochondriac. or someone who is unnecessarily aggressive during the worst days of their life. or someone looking "for a quick fix". or some idiot who wasn't educated about how to properly care for themselves who just abandons their treatment. and again, the hypochondriac, the overly-cautious hysteric. these people don't deserve to be treated like humans (right), and since you might be one of these people, you also don't get treated like a human. because those people can really fuck with the system, you now have to pay for it. and besides. you're actually probably faking it.

(more often than not, you find a 2:1 ratio of these stories. for every "hypochondriac", there are 2 people who knew something was wrong, and yet nobody could fucking find it. the story often ends with pointless suffering. the story often ends with and now it's too late, and it's going to kill me.)

you are actually just making excuses. someone else got that procedure or that diagnosis and he's fine, you should be fine too. someone else said they watched a documentary about other inspirational people with your exact same condition, maybe you should be inspirational, too. you're just too morbid. your pain and your experience is probably just not statistically concerning. it is all self-reported anyway, and you're just being a baby.

(once, while sitting down in the middle of making coffee, you had the sudden, horrible thought - i could kill myself to make the pain stop. you had to call your best friend after that. had to pet your dog. had to cry about it in the shower. you won't, but that moment - god, fuck. the pain just goes on and on.)

you know someone who went in for routine surgery and said i still feel everything. they told her to just relax. it took her kicking and screaming before they figured out she wasn't lying - the anesthetic drip hadn't been working. you know someone who went in for severe migraines who was told drink water and lose weight. you know someone who was actively bleeding out and throwing up in the ER and was told you're just having a bad period.

in the ER there are always these little posters saying things like "don't wait! get checked today!" and you think about how often you do wait. how often the days spool out. you once waited a full week before seeing the doctor for what you thought was a sprained wrist. it had actually been broken - they had to rebreak it to set it.

but you go into the doctor. the problem you're having is immediate. the person behind the counter frowns and says we're not taking your insurance. you will be paying for this out-of-pocket.

they send you home with tylenol and a little health packet about weight loss or anxiety or attention deficit. on the front it has your birthday and diagnosis. you think about crying, and the words swim. it might as well say go fuck yourself. it might as well say you're a fucking idiot. it might as well say light your money on fire and lie down in it. and the entire fucking time - the problem persists.

it's okay. it's okay, it's just another thing, you think. it's just another thing i have to learn to live with.

~

He knew it. 

He knew it, he knew it, he knew it, he fucking knew it. God fucking damnit. Jorah’s hands are steel-balls, every muscle coiled, spring-loaded, because he’s not fucking shaking. 

He’s not - he’s clear-headed and he has to be, doesn’t he, because nobody else in this goddamn base is. Nobody else is seeing or thinking or using their fucking brains because Morja is not in cuffs already (or, better, with a bullet in his head), just standing, standing, before their Captain’s desk, still soaking wet with Claudia’s blood.

“I warned you.” Jorah breathes, hands planted on Brax’s desk, knuckles bleach-white with holding himself still. “Captain, I asked you not to let him go without me, without a goddamn security expert-“

“There was an expert, Cuthbert.” The Captain breathes, their hands pressed flat on the fine wood grain of their desk, “The expert was Morja.” 

“And you thought- I’m sorry, you thought he’d be good enough?”

Claudia is in surgery, getting head stitches, and what if she dies- 

Jorah clamps down on the chilling twist in his stomach, all that cold going back to his veins. That’s not useful to think about right now, Sarai’s got her, she’ll be fine. She’ll live. She’d better live. 

Or Morja is dead. 

“Yes, Cuthbert, I used my discretion here. Morja was the only one who knew where the training facility would be.”

“And that wasn’t, maybe, suspect to you, did you not think of security, Captain?-“

“He was the best choice to keep everybody safe.”

Jorah reels, chest heaving, the sharp fire of rage pressing down on his lungs. He’s so betrayed. This is such a betrayal because the Captain is standing there, tall and pristine and behind that desk which represents their country, their title, and Jorah can’t believe that someone like them could be so stupid. How could they have made such an error?

“It was my call.” Jorah grits out. “I’m this base’s security liaison, I am second rank, I review all potential security threats, this motherfucker is a security threat-“

“Easy, Commander-“

“Brax, I- how else do you want me to put it, this is a fucking lapse in protocol, those are supposed to be my fucking calls to keep us safe!”

Jorah’s voice rising to a shout, his professionalism unraveling, hands emphasize his point by laying on the desk. It rattles, the trinkets rattling together, a cup in its saucer. Brax’s glasses flash, their glasses pushed up, as they stand fully behind their desk.

“If you are suggesting I had poor judgement, Cuthbert, I trusted everyone on that team.” 

Their voice is cold, sharp, and Jorah has gone maybe too far, he can see that, but they aren’t listening. Jorah can see those dark, sharp eyes keep glancing over Jorah’s shoulder, keep trying to seek out that rat fuck, why does Brax care what comes out of him? Is this balance? Is this trying to be fair, to be measured? Can’t they see the threat?

They aren’t listening. 

“Captain.” Jorah rears back, a stagger of a step, his eyes burning. Throat clicking. He goes to attention in respect for their station, but his head shakes back and forth, jaw spasming as he tries to unclench his jaw. 

“Captain?” His eyes blur as he blinks, frustration choking him, voice pitched soft, shaky. “You- you didn’t trust my judgement? You didn’t trust me?”

That makes Brax seem to remember themself, drawing themself up to full height, their expression, so tight and narrow-eyed, seems to falter. They reach out to him and Jorah pulls away, wounded. 

“Jorah, that isn’t why I didn’t consult you before they left-“

“I just wanted to keep my friends, my unit, safe, Captain.”

“I know that, Jorah, I know that and I would never have let them all go if I had known there would be this much danger.”

“He hurt Claudia.”

Jorah’s voice crests on a pitch of tension, cracks with rage, a frigid ocean storm frothing inside him, and Brax’s jaw tics visibly, sucking in their breath sharply. 

“…You don’t know that, Jorah.”

But they don’t sound so sure anymore, their eyes flicking from the asset, stock still as bloody stone, and him, and Jorah digs in, presses, urgent and hoarse, leans over the desk again to plead.

“Just ask him.”

They both spin but Jorah is watching Brax as their hand comes up to touch the gold wire of their glasses, to steady the frames again, peering at Morja with a look that makes even Jorah go still. Searching, probing, an excavation tool, razor sharp attention all on one object, one singular foci. There is a hardness to their mouth which means disappointment, pondering, doubt. 

“Morja?” 

Asset, Jorah wants to scream, but he bites his cheek somehow as the fucker thuds to his knees, filthy, on their beautiful carpet, whimpering like a dog when he folds, hands (the red blood barely dried, caked and browning) clasped crosswise in front,  playing dead. 

“Stand up, Morja, I’m talking to you.”

“I’msorryCaptain.”

As with their usual platitudes that grate, sugar on a broken tooth, Brax corrects his apology, a that’s alright, Morja, stomach-turning reassurance for a killing machine. The stains of small red fingerprints on the asset’s cheek, bright in the lamplight, make Jorah’s nostrils flare. Claudia’s handprints. 

Did she clutch at Morja before he bashed her over the head? Did she claw at him in self-defense? Jorah imagines Morja and his fucking scar-gnarled hands looming over her and he wants to put his boot against that throat and watch his fucking eyes bug as he crushes and crushes and crushes until he’s no longer playing at going limp.

“Morja, listen to me carefully. Are you responsible for Claudia’s wound?” 

Their icy calm could cut steel and even Jorah feels himself straighten up as the asset wheezes. 

“Y-Yes, Captain.”

Jorah warned them all. 

“Did you…try to harm her, Morja?”

“I’msosorry.”

“Morja, tell me you didn’t hurt her?”

“Yes- y-yes. Yes, Captain, s-sorry, was m-me.”

Brax’s hands slip into their waistcoat and Jorah is close enough to see their fingers clench into fists, rounded knuckles pressing against the silk. 

“What happened, Morja?” 

Their voice is so soft and Morja whines like a dog scratching at the door and Jorah wants to vomit.  The asset sways like he wants to collapse, silence stretching between them, taut and humming. He shakes his head, more a jerk of his chin, and lowers his chin to his chest. 

Look them in the fucking face. 

“I failed.”

His arm wraps around his stomach, head turned away, for all the world like a penitent child confessing his candy theft. Red handed. Sorry for being caught, blood still under his nails. 

“Cap-Captain, I- I am sorry. I am sorry for- for obeying my- the enemy, an- Captain, I didn’t know-“

Poorly trained dog with sharp jaws. 

“I just obeyed, I followed orders, and- I’m sorry, I tried to- I did hurt her, it is my f-fault, and I did try to- I didn’t want to hurt her, I did, I did-“

Rabid.

“Someone on the other side told you to hurt her?”

“Y-Yes, anotéros. Captain, I’m sorry.”

“Morja…who’s side are you on?”

Teeth at all of their throats.

“…Idon’tknow.”

A knock at the door makes them all startle, the silence spiderwebbing from the pressure of intrusion as Cobi steps into the room, Pfeffer still bloody, those big hands trembling, eyes red and swollen, streaming snot and tears that he keeps swiping away. 

Jorah’s chest spasms, cold, no-

Cobi catches his eyes and shakes his head, sniffling hard, using a heel of his palm to scrub at his cheek. 

“Sarai kicked me out, to- to work better.” He croaks. “I- Um. Dunno how she is yet, sorry, J-man. Just dunno yet.”

His lips are trembling, sniffling even harder, and Jorah cannot fucking handle any weakness right now, not from any quarter, spins to Brax, rigid attention and crisp readiness. The only one in this goddamn base who’s prepared to handle a goddamn difficulty. 

“What would you like me to do with him, Captain?”

Three sets of eyes flash to Jorah, the only source of clean and calm in the room. 

Brax tugs at the buttons of their vest, hands smoothing and adjusting, a magnet to Jorah’s lodestone, and when their jaw sets, he feels a surge of pride and relief that they’ve made the right choice.

“First Lieutenant Cuthbert, Private Pfeffer, Morja will be remanded into custody until further testimony from Private Williams i- when she awakes. Morja, please accompany them until further notice. We will get this figured out.”

The asset’s blank eyes go wide as he gasps a little whimper that Jorah and his tools could never wring out of him, face blossoming open in a look that Jorah doesn’t have to guess at: fear.

Good.

Motherfucker should be afraid - he should remember what he is. They should all remember what he is. It might be bittersweetly bought but now they will. Now they know that Jorah is right about him.

oh no, what will happen to morja now, i wonder? 😨👀🥺

Date: March 30th 2024

Sitting in the corner of the room you stare at all the people mingling with each other, laughing and giggling as if everything is normal and going oh so well in their lives when in fact it’s crumbling apart.

Taking a sip of the beer which was almost over you look around the room once again when your eyes meet his, staring at you from across the room.

You could feel your heart beating again, the way it started beating loudly made you scared, not because you feared him but because you feared yourself.

You swore to yourself that you had moved on from him. After everything you both went through, you thought it’s better if you stayed just as friends but you yourself knew that you both cannot be friends.

Every passing second of the day made you loathe him more, not because he was your ex but because he just decided to give up on your relationship just like that when you decided it was the end.

Keeping the can of bear on the nearest table you found you grabbed your coat and walked away from there. Not being able to sit there and act as if everything was alright when it in fact was not. You knew it was not, he knew it was not.

Date: March 20th 2024

Sitting on the bed you hold the necklace in your hand as you take in a deep breath. You hated arguing with him, in fact you hated when you would snap at each other simply because you both would bottle up your feelings.

The countless misunderstandings you both went through meant nothing at this point when your whole relationship is tearing apart like this.

“What’s the point?” You hear Kevin mumble briefly as he sits up from his lying position and places his head in his hands.

You could feel your heart breaking when you heard his voice for the first time ever since the argument you both had in the living.

You muster up the courage and strength to speak as you let out the words which were oh so irritating for someone in his shoes because of the obliviousness “What do you mean?”

You close your eyes when you hear Kevin let out a scoff, “You know what I mean, this is not working out. Whatever we have going on, none of it is working out. We can pretend that it’s all fine but deep down you know nothing is. Let’s stop wasting each other's time and just..end it.” Kevin says that as he stands up from the bed and grabs his coat to walk out of the room.

“Can we still be friends?” You ask him, halting in his steps Kevin turns around and lets out a small sigh when he sees your expectant eyes which were now filled with tears threatening to fall down and roll down your cheeks.

“We can’t be friends..” he says as he leaves the room and slams the door of your house shut.

You sit there in silence as you look around the room, on this very bed you celebrated your 20th birthday with him.

“We can’t be friends, but I’d just like to pretend…” you mumble to yourself as you bring your legs to your chest and let your tears fall down.

Date: March 30th 2024

Time: 12:47 PM

Walking down the street you hug yourself closer as you look up at the sky, it was empty which made you smile but it had no feelings.

You stop walking when you hear footsteps behind you, turning your head you could feel your face stiffening when you see Kevin running in your direction.

“Are you going back home?” He says once he is in front of you. Giving him a single nod you start walking again, not being able to stare at him for another second.

Walking in silence you stare at the ground while kicking the stones on the sidewalk. Taking in a deep breath you look up at Kevin who was walking beside you.

In his words he just wanted to make sure you reached home safely. Hence, the reason he decided to accompany you.

“Do you regret it?” You ask suddenly. You notice Kevin stopping in his tracks for a moment only to walk again as he tries to act nonchalant.

“Regret what?” He asks softly as he looks down at you, his eyes looking like daydreams. You still remember how you always felt seen and heard at night.

For you night is when you can finally be yourself, you don’t have to hide yourself anymore.

“Us breaking up…”

Letting out a deep breath Kevin looks at you with a small smile as he holds your hand guides you towards the end of the footpath to sit down on the ground.

“We needed to put an end to our story Y/N…I did not want to continue feeding on the monstrous fire which was increasing day by day. It’s difficult, yeah…but that’s the best for us.” He says softly as he holds your hands in hid for comfort.

“It’s hard. Really hard. I don’t know how you’re acting all fine..” you tell him as you pull your hand away from him.

“I am not fine if that’s what you’re wondering. I tell myself countless times to just wait for you to come back but then I was the one who broke up with you. I wish we could still be friends but I cannot get myself to do it. I cannot pretend to be your friend when I know I want more than that.” He says as he lets out a small sob.

“I can wait for you. I can wait for your love, I can do that..” you say as you try to stop yourself from crying over this again.

Shaking his head he lets your hand go as he stands up and helps you stand up.

“Can I just say one thing?” You say softly, your words coming out slurred as the alcohol starts getting to you. Giving you a small nod he helps you walk towards your house, “Know that you made me the happiest person when we were together. I couldn’t ask for more than what we had…it feels like you left me hanging by myself but I know I would have to move on and let this story die.”

You say everything in one go as you cough and hiccup. You notice Kevin opening his mouth to speak again but you stop him by putting your finger up telling him that you want to continue and that you’re not done yet, “For now, it’s only me but…but I’d like to pretend that we’re still friends, okay?” You say as you look at him with your expectant eyes.

“Okay…whatever you say..” he says softly as he looks down at your shining eyes which were staring back up at him. “Maybe that’s all you need to move on from me..” he says, mostly to himself but you catch onto it but he doubts you’d remember all this in the morning tomorrow.

Reaching your door steps he helps you stand straight as he looks through your bag to find your keys.

“You keep on clinging to your papers and pens, yeah?” You say softly in a joking manner as you enter the house and slam the door shut on his face.

Letting out a small chuckle Kevin looks at your door as he takes a step back, stuffing his hands in his pockets he takes a one last look at your door and walks away.

That’s an end to a story then, something which was bittersweet. There are some moments he wishes he could forget all together but most of them are the ones he cherishes the most and that’s what matters to him.

You guys maybe strangers to each other now but the time you both spent as lovers was some of the most valuable ones.

[a-sketchy]

the thing about yosuke’s shittiness around here (up close and personal, the campout) is that the vast majority of it isn’t doing literally anything for his character. i completely think yosuke’s shittiness is important to his character, but it’s by and large reflections of his own insecurities and flaws. he’s insecure about his masculinity and sexuality, he’s lame, he’s selfish, he’s obsessed with the idea of women, his mouth moves faster than his brain, he doesn’t like himself, and he cares way too much about the societal ideal of ‘normal’. but it’s really important that he’s self-aware! he knows when the things he says are shitty, he knows he’s lame, he knows he’s selfish, he knows he’s putting up a front of being carefree and normal. but there’s absolutely no self awareness here, there’s no recognizing he went too far and apologizing the next day, there’s no regret, there’s not even any self-deprecation, and there’s absolutely no compassion or empathy like he has in serious moments. a lot of what he says is just mean for meanness’s sake, in an execution incongruous with previous behaviour. it’s not even funny!

Daminette December 2022: 16-Chaos

Alya smiled and fixed Adrien's hair.

"There she is, just like I told you she would be." she smiled.

"Are you sure, Alya?" Adrien asked, nervously, "She looks busy."

Adrien looked back into the park and saw Marinette sketching by a picnic basket.

"Look, the date is all planned out." Alya spoke, "She has a picnic basket and is just waiting for you. I'm sure she brought things you are allowed to eat. You don't want to keep her waiting, right?"

"R-Right." he answered, unsure of himself.

Adrien took a deep breath and made his way into the park.

Marinette smiled as she sketched out a new dress.

'I can't wait for him to get here. I'm sure he'll like the surprise.'

Marinette watched as a shadow began to lengthen on her sketchbook.

"Hey." she spoke, but as she turned, a flash of yellow was all she saw.

Marinette turned quickly, panicked, and reached into her purse. She quickly used sprayed the pepper spray Damian had given her. At the sound of a scream, Marinette took off and ran past the trees. She quickly pulled out her phone and called the police.

"Help! Someone approached me in the park. I had to use pepper spray." Marinette explained, rapidly.

"How old are you?" they asked.

"Seventeen." she sniffled.

The dispatch could hear how panicked she was and said, "We're sending someone to you."

Marinette quickly texted Damian.

Angel: Hurry, plz!!!!

People passing by came up to her and asked her if she was okay.

"Are you okay, Sweetie?"

"Do I need to call anyone for you?"

"You were very brave."

"You were on the phone. Did you call your mom or dad?"

"Did you call the police?"

Marinette nodded. When they realized she wasn't in complete control of her breathing, one lady helped steady her and lowed her to the floor. Alya quickly rushed over and grabbed her by her shoulders.

"What the hell were you thinking, Marinette?" she shouted, "Do you even realize what you have done? Who you have hurt?"

Marinette didn't get a chance to answer. The strangers were quick to shove Alya away. They didn't let her get close to Mari again. One was trying to help her regulate her breathing. The rest had formed a barrier Marinette having a panic attack and the new girl on the scene yelling at her.

Damian got to the park and saw the park was divided by cops and people standing around another one, with someone yelling. Damian walked towards the police, but saw them pouring water onto the face of a boy his age.

'Not Marinette.'

He quickened his pace to the crowd and the shouting.

"I can't believe you did that!" the girl was shouting.

The Wayne heir peered though the crowd and saw his angel on the ground, hyperventilating.

"Marinette!" he shouted, shoving his way through the crowd.

Marinette turned at the sound of Damian's voice and launched herself into his arms.

"I-I was so scared." she began to sob, "I was waiting for you and someone got close to me. I saw yellow. You don't wear yellow."

"Shh, Haibibiti." Damian whispered, "I'm here."

The crowd noticed that whoever this guy was, could calm her down much better than they could. Alya stared, puzzled at the scene before her.

'Who is this guy and why is Mari hugging him?'

Officer Raincomprix walked towards the crowd, with Adrien Agreste in handcuffs. His hair was dripping wet and a mess, resembling more of a drowned cat then a model. His clothes were covered in grass stains and the area around his eyes were red. Natalie quickly rushed out of the car once she saw the situation Adrien was in.

"He says you know him." Roger announced, "That he was here for a planned date with you."

'A date? Damian is holding onto me. Who thought I would date them?'

Marinette could feel Damian tense up and ready to fight. She peeled her face out of Damian's chest and spotted Adrien Agreste.

"Adrien?" she questioned, "I-I know him, but I don't know anything about a date. I-"

"Why are you lying?" Alya shouted, pushing her way to the front of the crowd, "This is just like you bullying Lila! You make excuses! I sent you the plan weeks ago! Do you just like the attention? You had the whole picnic set up and-"

"Silence!" Damian growled, glaring at Alya.

"Alya, you don't have my number." Mari spoke.

"Yes, I do." she sneered, showing her phone, "It says MariBFF."

"It may say that, but we're not friends." Mari replied, "I changed my number, last year."

Alya stammered, "Bu-but the picnic!"

"It's for me and my boyfriend." Marinette answered, "It's our two year anniversary."

Damian immediately pulled Marinette closer to his side. He turned and glared at Adrien. Adrien shifted nervously under the glare. It didn't help that he had been publicly rejected and humiliated for going after someone else's girlfriend.

"Will you be pressing charges on him, Ma'am?" Roger asked.

"Yes." Damian answered.

"No, Dami. It's okay." Mari replied.

"Angel." he growled.

"If people use enough colorful and pretty words on him, he'll be convinced of anything." she stated.

"That's not true." Adrien cried.

"The high road." Mari hissed, glaring at him.

Adrien flinched. Alya looked between them confused.

"But you have such a giant crush on him!" she exclaimed, noting to go back to the subject another time..

"I did; when I was fourteen." Marinette stated, "I haven't had feelings for him for a long time."

"You would have told me!" Alya shouted.

"I told you before, but you laughed at me. You told me I'd have feelings for him again in a week. Later, you asked about my feelings and I told you-I told you 'No'. You rolled your eyes at me and told me 'Suuuure'. You're still the same stubborn bitch who won't listen to anyone, but the sound of your own voice. You only listen to those you believe are right!" Marinette declared.

Alya and Adrien looked at her in disbelief.

'She doesn't like me, anymore!'

'No! After all the perfect planning; I had this! Adrien finally likes her!'

"How many times have you screamed in my face, after listening to a liar?" Marinette asked, "How many times over the last three years have you told me that we're not friends? How many times have you texted me, at night, to kill myself and told me how I deserved to die for what I have supposedly done to your best friend? Why do you think I changed my number?"

Adrien looked at Alya in horror.

"What?" he whispered, in shock.

"This is what your high road has done, Adrien." Marinette shouted.

"But I-" he began.

"What is the high road?" Alya interrupted.

"Adrien told me to let Lila lie and everything would be revealed, eventually. You would all figure out how much of a liar she is, we'll laugh about it, and go about our merry way as friends." Marinette smiled, "This isn't a Disney movie, Adiren. It's bullshit and what made me lose my feelings for you. You told me you would have my back, but the lies kept coming. I lost my friends. I got bullied by them and you did nothing. You're not my friend and I don't see us ever being friends again!"

"But Mari-" he tried to speak.

"I don't know why you would think I have feelings for you!" Marinette continued to rant, "We don't talk anymore. We don't even hang out. Maybe this was some cooked up plan by Lila to see me humiliated and laughed at because she has feelings for you. That's why she threatened me, anyways, because I was in her way. Too bad, she didn't know about Kagami at the time. Kagami told me about smacking her with a kendo stick when she didn't let go of you. It's still funny to think about, but I guess that was too much for you; you broke up with her a week later. Or did your father make you because his muse was injured and it was your fault for not stopping it? You're too weak when it comes to conflict."

"Well said, Habibiti." Damian declared, "Very well, we won't press charges, at the moment. If either of you continue to harass my girlfriend, I won't hesitate to sue you. From the sounds of it, you'll be spending a long time in prison, if they pull your phone records."

Alya paled.

Adrien was released from the handcuffs and released into the custody of Natalie. She grabbed his shoulder and glared at him.

"We're heading home, Adrien." Natalie insisted.

"Oh!" quickly spoke up Marinette.

"Yes, Miss Dupain-Cheng?" Natalie questioned.

Marinette smiled, "I'd look into reaching out to Lila's mother. Lila has a tendency to lie and forge signatures. No one has actually ever seen her relatives."

Natalie tensed up and nodded, quickly guiding Adrien to the car.

"Why don't we take the food you prepared to the hotel?" Damian suggested, "I'd rather you feel comfortable and safe. I can put up with my father and Todd's prattling."

"Are you sure?" Mari asked.

Damian nodded. Marinette smiled at her boyfriend. He took her hand and guided her to the picnic area. Damian picked up the blanket, as Marinette grabbed the basket.

People began to walk away from the scene. Alya stood there in disbelief. She felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped. Alya turned and the lady noticed the tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Perhaps, you should listen to her." the lady spoke, "It's never too late to change."

"B-But if she's right, I-I did so much." Alya sobbed, "I hurt her."

"Have you ever heard the legend of the phoenix?" the lady asked.

Alya nodded.

"Then, be a phoenix." she stated, "Rise from the ashes. Show her you can change. She still might not be your friend, but at least, you'll know the truth." and with that, she was gone.

Alya bit her lip and rushed home. She set her mind on looking up all of Lila Rossi's achievements. She'd find out if she really lost her best friend for no reason.

FINISHED BP FIC - THAT LOVE SONG LOCKER COMBINATION

sum. the rule of thumb in boy's planet high school was to never, ever get involved with korean chipmunk. junhyeon knows that all too well—his friends gunwook and gyuvin have warned him many, many, times, and he's been sticking with the popular boys to avoid them at all costs.

it's when he gets stranded overnight with lee seunghwan that everything starts to change—and along the way, junhyeon realizes that maybe the stereotypes aren't all what they seem to be.

ships. junhwan (lee seunghwan x kum junhyeon) jeongjian (chen jianyu x lee jeonghyeon) centric on dog union (kim gyuvin, park gunwook, kum junhyeon) and ggang team (chen jianyu, lee seunghwan, lee jeonghyeon, kum junhyeon, mun junghyun) friendships

au. 2000's high school rom-com

ch count. 16 chapters

warnings. fights (verbal and physical), misunderstandings, light angst, period-typical homophobia, food, unrealistic high school lives (think hsm, mean girls, lemonade mouth)

A Moment's Warning by Neery

A Moment's Warning

by Neery

G, 8k, wangxian

Summary: The Wens are safe, the tiger amulet is out of Jin Guangshan's hands, and Wei Wuxian is going to cooperate when Hanguang Jun puts him down like a rabid dog. It's not the end to his story he wanted, but it's one he can accept.

Mojo's comments: In which the Yiling Patriarch gives himself over to the Lan Sect for 'cleansing', even knowing (as they do not) that their method will be a death sentence for him. (Aha, another story for lovers of Decay by antebunny.)

Excerpt: The song got more complex as it went along. There was a secondary melody layered under the first, first reinforcing and then gradually altering it, turning it harsh and dissonant, a whip full of barbed hooks. It would dig into his meridians and rip the source of his power out at the roots. It would leave him flayed open, with the paths of spiritual energy unbalanced enough to induce a qi deviation. Of course a powerful cultivator might be able to use his golden core to rebalance his qi. But even then the ritual was going to be dangerous, and likely to leave him crippled if it didn't kill him. Without a golden core, it was a death sentence. [...] "I accept," Wei Wuxian said. The Wens would be safe, the tiger seal would be out of Jin Guangshan's hands, and Wei Wuxian was going to cooperate while Hanguang Jun put him down like a rabid dog.

canon-divergence, fix-it, everyone lives/nobody dies, misunderstandings, golden core reveal, jin zixuan lives, ambush at qiongqi path, pov wei wuxian, musical cultivation, protective lan wangji, happy ending

y'know there's something rather ironic about when people put eyestrain warnings for their art in giant brightly colored text

It's kinda funny how people reject the comics bc Batman is abusive and it's mostly ignored/not addressed properly... and then instead go read fic where Batman is abusive but it's ignored/not addressed properly

Unpopular opinion, I guess, since I hear people complain about it all the time, but I love the miscommunication trope. I don't know why people claim it's unrealistic when I see everyone misunderstanding each other on a daily basis. Miscommunication doesn't mean not talking to each other (because I keep hearing "just talk to each other" when this trope is mentioned). It means the characters talk, but not clearly enough and you know what? That is real. People misunderstand me all the time and I am no stranger to misunderstanding other people.

okay i know ive posted a lot lately but i just watched a falsettos song rating video with the most L takes ive ever seen and by L takes, i Mean. like really ick. the video itself wasnt awful and they did have some good commentary and opinions but. hmmm

they went on kind of a blurb about father to son and how plain and unimaginably Boring it is and then said they skip it every single time. like dude!!!! father to son isn't my favourite song either but to just completely disregard it is kind of weird If you ask me.

and then they gave what more can i say a 3/10 with no other reasoning other than "i fell asleep" okay 💀

lack of media literacy skills begin to show when they lowered the rating of canceling the bar mitzvah solely because, and i quote, "jason was being annoying" Do you even know why jason was upset. do you know why everyone was so stressed. it's supposed to be a difficult moment for everybody. jason is a child trying to cope with the fact that his loved one is sick and potentially dying in the hospital. he's 12 years old. he doesn't know how to process this, and neither do trina and mendel.

and then 1/10 for marvin hits trina because "marvin is mean" okay. we know what marvin did in that song was really really shitty but its not as simple as him just being a little meanie

BUT on the positive side!!! im really glad the video creator understood trinas character well and when it came to her songs, they gave pretty insightful commentary. more often than not new falsettos fans can tend to push trina off to the side unfortunately so im really glad they took the time to understand and appreciate her as a character bc she's wonderful. also towards the songs at the end they gave some better ratings so that was nice.

blinks tiredly. i decide "hm maybe i should try to expand my circle and step outside of it a little, lets go look at the main community tags" and im just greeted with a bunch of edgelords who think saying "fiction doesn't affect reality, don't like don't read" is peak activism and "fighting censorship". head in my hands. this is partially why i do not ever go into the community tags, my nervous system cannot handle blocking fifty weirdos every single day just so i can have a normal experience in the community tags hfdsjkl

The best Kyle characterization is never in style or Kyle-centric fanfics it's always in bunny fanfics where he is tangled in a side plot and he is biggest idiot on earth who can't see the most obvious shit before him and needs Kenny to explain the everything for him
