The Red Carpet Confession

Hugh Jackman x reader (actress)

A/N: Here's another try! Please let me know in the comments if you liked it and if you'd like to have a part two? :)

Summary: Hugh and y/n are rumored to be a couple and the two are figuring out their relationship.

The movie that the next parts are about is fictitious. It's a Marvel movie in which y/n plays one of the main roles as a Lady Deadpool variant.

Time period around 2015. Hugh's divorce fictitiously occurred here a year earlier. Hugh is 46, and y/n is in her late 20s.

Warnings: literally none, only some light fluff but nothing more!

---------------------------------------------------

The energy at the movie premiere was electric—the buzz of the crowd, the flashing lights, and the excitement in the air. Hugh’s hand rested comfortably on the small of my back as we made our way down the red carpet. Every now and then, I found myself leaning into his touch, savoring the warmth and comfort that came so naturally between us. I glanced up at him, admiring the familiar crinkles around his eyes when he smiled and those laugh lines I adored so much.

We had come a long way since our first meeting at one of Ryan’s infamous dinner parties, where Blake introduced me to Hugh. Some months later I found out that my ex fiancé cheated on me. That night was a turning point for me. Blake, always the caring friend, had rallied Ryan and Hugh to come over with takeout and wine, determined to cheer me up. The four of us spent the evening in my living room, talking, laughing, and simply being there for each other.

Hugh had been a quiet comfort, sitting beside me as I cried, his arm around my shoulders. At one point, Ryan insisted on taking a selfie—our eyes a little red but smiles plastered on our faces. We posted it with the caption:

>>vancityreynolds: Friends who stick by you, no matter what ❤️<<

It was a moment that solidified our friendship, and from there, Hugh and I only grew closer.

Over time, our bond deepened. We started working out together, pushing each other to new limits. One day after an intense session, we snapped a photo—both of us sweaty, grinning, and flexing our biceps. I couldn’t resist adding a cheeky caption:

>>y/n instagram: Who needs a gym partner when you’ve got The Wolverine pushing you?<<

The post went viral, and the fans went wild. The comments were full of playful speculation, with people shipping us hard.

>>loganskittycat: You two should just get married already😩<<

One fan wrote, while another cheekily commented:

>>carllax03: Are we sure this is just a workout partnership? Because I’m seeing serious couple vibes here🔥<<

I remember laughing about it with Hugh, but the truth was, there was something between us—something neither of us had fully acknowledged.

Things got even more intense after Hugh's separation. I made sure to be there for him, offering whatever support I could. We spent a lot of time together during that period, just talking, laughing, and working out our frustrations at the gym. He was hurting, and I wanted to be the friend he could lean on. But every time we were together, those buried feelings would start to bubble up again, and it was getting harder and harder to ignore them.

There was that one time I posted a photo of us at the beach in Australia, where I had visited Hugh some days after he told me of his seperation. We were walking along the shore, deep in conversation about the breakup, his children, life and relationships, when the paparazzi caught us.

The next day, the headlines were full of speculation, but what really made the fans go crazy was Hugh's comment under a selfie of us at the beach:

>>thehughjackman: The best view in Australia, and I'm not talking about the ocean 🌊<<

The internet literally exploded with fans shipping us even harder than before.

>>catpool3000: Okay, if you two don't date, the universe is seriously broken😩<<

>>marvelboyx: He's flirting right in front of us! This is not a drill guys!<<

I found these fan comments so amusing and laughed it off, but the truth was, Hugh had become someone I couldn’t imagine my life without.

As we continued posing for photos on the red carpet, I couldn't help but remember the time we ran into a group of fans during another walk, this time back in New York.

Hugh and I had been grabbing coffee when a few fans approached us asking for photos. Hugh was, of course, his usual charming self, chatting with them, making them laugh, and posing for selfies.

One of the fans turned to me, a little shy, and said: "You're so awesome, y/n. You and Hugh are just the best! Your energy is amazing."

I smiled, touched by her words. "Thank you, sweetheart, that means a lot. Hugh makes it easy, though. He's got the charm down to an art."

Later, those fans posted the selfies on social media, gushing about how kind and down-to-earth we both were. The most comments were full of love and support, with many noting how natural Hugh and I seemed together, how much they 'shipped' us. It was sweet, even if it was a little overwhelming.

The speculation about us had been growing for months, especially after that interview with Jimmy Fallon, where Ryan and I were guests. We were there to promote the new movie, and naturally, the conversation turned to the camaraderie on set.

Jimmy Fallon, ever the curious host, leaned forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "So, y/n, what was it like joining such a big, well-established cast for the first time? Did you find it easy to get along with everyone?"

I nodded, smiling at the memory of my first days on set. "Honestly, I was a bit nervous at first. I mean, these guys are legends." I said, gesturing to Ryan.

"But they made me feel so welcome right from the start. It felt like I was joining a big. slightly dysfunctional, but very loving family."

Jimmy grinned. "And was there anyone you got particularly close to? I mean, everyone's shipping you with Hugh Jackman after those workout posts."

I chuckled, trying to keep my cool. "I mean, Hugh and I did spend a lot of time together. We bonded over our love for fitness, and he's just such an easy person to get along with. But really, the whole cast was amazing."

Fallon wasn't done yet. He leaned in closer, his tone playful. "But come on, Y/N, who was your favorite on set? Who was the person you looked forward to working with the most?"

Before I could answer, Ryan leaned over, placing his hand dramatically on his chest. "Oh, come on, Jimmy, we all know I'm her favorite," he said with a mock pout. Then, as if sharing a secret, he turned to him, cupping his hand around his mouth like he was about to whisper.

"But between us, it's the Aussie. It's always the Aussie."

The audience burst into laughter, and I playfully shoved Ryan's shoulder.

"You wish!" I said, unable to keep a straight face.

Ryan shot me a wink. "Hey, you don't have to deny it, y/n. We all know how much you love Hugh's, uhh workout routine."

I rolled my eyes, laughing along with the audience. But deep down, Ryan's joke hit a little too close to home. Because as much as I tried to brush it off, there was a growing part of me that knew he was right.

Now, as we walked the red carpet together, another interviewer caught up with us, asking the question we'd been dodging all night. "Hugh, y/n. The internet is buzzing with rumors about your relationship. Care to set the record straight?"

My heart skipped a beat. I glanced at Hugh, and he met my gaze with that familiar, playful glint in his eye. He leaned in, his voice low and teasing, as he spoke into the mic,

"We've certainly spent a lot of time, and we do get along really well."

Hugh and I exchanged a quick look, a silent understanding passing between us.

"We've had some pretty intense workouts together." I couldn't resist adding.

The double meaning wasn't lost on the interviewer or on Hugh, who shot me an amused look.

The interviewer pressed on. "So, is it safe to say you're more than just friends?"

Hugh grinned, his eyes twinkling with that familiar mischief. "I think we'll leave that up to your imagination."

The reporter laughed, realizing we weren't going to give a straight answer. "Fair enough. But you two certainly know how to keep us all guessing."

We thanked him shortly after, said our quick goodbyes, and moved along the red carpet to the next interview.

Another reporter greeted us, smiling, and started right with the conversation.

"Y/n? Hugh, you two have been quite the talk of the town with your workout posts. Can you tell us a little more about your training and diets while preparing for the movie?"

Hugh grinned and nudged me playfully. "Y/n here is a beast in the gym. She's got more discipline than anyone I know, and she doesn't let me slack off."

I laughed, nodding in agreement.

"Hugh's being modest. He's the one who keeps me on my toes. It's hard not to be motivated when you've got The Wolverine next to you, pushing you to do just one more set.

The interviewer chuckled before shifting the conversation to a more private topic.

"And y/n, with your costume being so form-fitting, what kind of uhh.. support did you have underneath?”

The question caught me off guard, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. Before I could respond, though, Hugh stepped in, his expression turning serious.

"I think that’s enough for this interview. Thank you for your time." he said, his tone polite but firm, effectively ending the conversation.

The reporter looked taken aback but quickly recovered, thanking us for our time before moving on. As we walked away, I felt a surge of gratitude for Hugh’s quick intervention. Without thinking, I placed my hand on his chest, leaning in close to whisper in his ear.

"Thank you."

He smiled down at me, his eyes softening as he replied.

"Anytime, darling. Anytime."

As the last flashes of the cameras faded and the final questions from reporters dwindled, Hugh and I finally stepped off the red carpet. The air was buzzing with the excitement of the night, but it was the thought of the after-show party that truly had me giddy. Hugh could sense my anticipation and chuckled, his arm still comfortably wrapped around my waist as we made our way to the venue.

Inside, the party was already in full swing. The room was filled with a dazzling array of celebrities, all mingling and celebrating the movie. My eyes widened as I spotted a few of my own favorite celebrities across the room, and I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. Hugh noticed my reaction and gave me a teasing smile.

"Someone’s excited." he said. His voice was warm with amusement.

I laughed, unable to contain my enthusiasm.

"Can you blame me? This is like a dream come true! There are so many people here I’ve admired for years."

Hugh shook his head, his eyes crinkling with that familiar, affectionate smile. "It’s adorable seeing you like this, y/n. I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself."

We made our way further into the party, the music and chatter surrounding us. It didn’t take long before we spotted Ryan and Blake, who waved us over from a corner where they were chatting with a few other familiar faces.

As we joined them, Blake greeted us with a warm hug.

"You two were fantastic out there." she said, beaming. "How many relationship questions did you get?"

Ryan grinned, leaning in with a playful glint in his eyes. "Yeah, did they finally get you to confess?"

I exchanged a quick glance with Hugh before we both laughed. "Oh, you know, we kept them guessing." I said, shrugging lightly. "It’s more fun that way."

Hugh nodded, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "We might have let a few things slip here and there, just to keep them on their toes."

Blake raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "You two really enjoy this, don’t you?"

"Maybe a little." I admitted with a grin, feeling a little mischievous. "But in the end, it’s our story to tell—or not."

Ryan lifted his glass, grinning from ear to ear. "Well, here’s to keeping the world guessing, then. And to the best workout partners in the business."

We all clinked our glasses together, the sound of crystal ringing out as we toasted to the night and everything that had led us to this moment. The conversation flowed easily, with laughter and banter filling the space between us. As I stood there, surrounded by friends who had become like family, I felt a deep sense of contentment.

As the night wore on, we mingled with other guests, and I let my inner fangirl come out to play, much to Hugh’s amusement. He watched with a fond smile as I excitedly chatted with some of my favorite stars, his laughter echoing in my ears when I returned to his side, gushing about the conversations I’d just had.

Blake nudged him playfully, a knowing look in her eyes. "You’ve got your hands full with this one, Hugh."

Hugh just laughed, looking over to me, while I was talking to Ryan. "I wouldn’t have it any other way."

i feel like brat!reader is the kind of person who everyone (new fans and people who don’t know her) thinks is way younger than she is bc her face card never declines😩

like when they were first spotted together or r was spotted with alexia’s family at a game ppl thought she was the controversially young gf and she had to do a public service announcement to tell people she was actually age appropriate 😭

lmaooo this is exactly what i imagined happened.

alexia would suddenly be spotted around Camp Nou with a young-er looking girl. she'd be very fashion-forward, wearing all the trendy, cool pieces. she was always seen yapping with the younger players in the barca, so for a while, fans speculated that she was with one of those players. not barca captain, alexia putellas

the speculation ended when she was first spotted wearing a putellas kit. people doubted it at first because she seemed so different to how they percieve alexia to be

"that girl is definitely her gf"

"linking alexia with any new girl that she's around is annoying. that girl could be her cousin for all we know"

"cousin? bro her hand is literally on alexia's ass in that pic..."

and when fans finally came to the realisation that this girl was most likely alexia's girlfriend, the chaos just grew. because what do you mean alexia was dating some so young looking-- gossip forums speculated that there must be a 10-years age gap between them, fans were joking about how they even communicate with each other, saying alexia probably gets a mirgrane trying to keep up with all the slang terms.

it got so big online that even the players were aware of it. they would tease alexia endlessly in the lockeroom. alexia would just roll her eyes and tune it out. her girlfriend-- on the other hand-- couldn't just stand by and ignore it.

so she decided to address the speculations on a random monday morning:

"they definitely have a 10-year age gap"

brat: that's crazy. it's more like 9 years

"alexia can do so much better"

brat: she can't.

"is that your mother?"

brat: my daddy actually

The unconventional marriage between Yugo and Amalia.

Before I jump into it, I’m going to first talk about my personal thoughts on this moment:

💖💖💖❤️‍🔥❤️❤️‍🔥💕💕❤️💖💖❤️❤️❤️WE WON, WE GOT FED OMG THEY’RE SO CUTE TOGETHER, KISS MORE‼️‼️‼️‼️I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT MY WHOLE LIFE I’VE WATCHED YOU GUYS GROW UP FUCK‼️‼️‼️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✨✨❤️‍🔥💖💖❤️‍🔥😭❤️❤️💕😭😭😭😭😭✨💖✨🥰🥰✨💖✨❤️‍🔥

Now that we got that out of my system, let’s begin explaining what happened.

The scene starts with Yugo and Amalia, holding a bouquet of flowers, walking side by side together.

At first, I thought she was carrying the flowers for Armand’s grave but it turns out that they were both walking together TO THEIR WEDDING.

(now that I think about it, it actually makes sense that Amalia won’t be carrying flowers for Armand’s tree grave cuz like…she’s a sadida. Giving flowers to another sadida, especially a DEAD ONE sounds very disrespectful lol)

I’m guessing there was a slight time skip between the necrome war and the wedding because we can see Armand’s tree, which had been just a bud in Amalia’s hands during the fight, look like it grew up a bit underneath his parents’ tree shades.

Once the two walk up to the altar, they stand side by side and hold hands while facing the others who have come for them. We can see the Percedal family with Poo, Cleophee with Black Ink and Elaine, Dathura, Renate and Canar (Amalia’s two closest servants), Alibert with Grougal, Chibi, Adamaï, and Ruel. As well as Kerubim and Atcham (Joris doesn’t seem to be there though or maybe he’s just too short that we can’t see him 😭😭).

Not to mention that we can also see the elite eliatropes standing in the back and the sadidas too!

However, as soon as the two face the crowd together, Yugo decides to teleport him and Amalia away from the ceremony, causing the people to gasp at that sudden choice.

This was obviously not a planned decision that had been added to the occasion which is why even Amalia had been caught off guard by the act.

But once she takes a second to realize her surroundings, she knows she shouldn’t be afraid and so, she simply smiles back at Yugo knowing it’s just the two of them now, way up high in the skies.

They hold onto each other without the need to say anything, knowing full well that the other is just as happy to be together like this. To feel like for once, in a speck of a minute, there’s no danger to fight. There’s no big evil they need to defeat, no psychopath trying to eradicate the gods for vengeance, no big demon coming to have some fun, and no lost soul trying to live like in the old days.

They can finally enjoy the moment they’ve been waiting for so long, after so many challenges, unspoken words that needed to be said but couldn’t be told, and the many foes they faced.

For once, it’s just them up in the skies.

And that’s when they truly kiss without any regrets or doubts. They’re not thinking about anything else.

They can just think about themselves for now.

Here they are omg!! My babies are finally together!! 😩❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖

Can you believe that? It’s been a lot more than six years that we’ve been waiting for this very moment and here they are finally married and happy to be with each other like this!! 😭😭

I actually DID NOT expect to see these two getting married in the last episode but I’m so glad I did cuz my heart literally jumped out of its place and made me choke on my soda (i chose pineapple flavor for some reason).

Now that we’ve got our feelings out of the way, it’s time we analyze this wedding scene much more closely.

At first glance, Yugo and Amalia’s wedding was very sweet and beautiful, something that was deserved for the two after being apart and filled with problems on their respective sides.

It’s so sweet in fact that it stands out from any other weddings we’ve seen in Wakfu (yes, even the attempted one with Count Harebourg and Amalia) but I’ll use Dally and Eva’s wedding as the main example.

Usually, when there’s a marriage in the World of Twelve, we’ve seen the white dresses and suits, and especially the glowing happy vibes that the wedding is giving. We’ve seen it with Dally and Eva’s wedding back in the OVAs.

Evangelyne was wearing a white dress while Dally was wearing a good suit that properly dressed him up completely. They had the Sadida ruler, King Oakheart, acting as the priest in charge of the wedding. They then exchanged their wedding rings and waited for the king to end the ceremony so they could seal it with a kiss.

That is what you call a proper wedding, a classic one to be more specific.

So when we compare their marriage with Yugo and Amalia’s, one can’t help but distinguish the differences in what happened during their ceremony.

And boy is it different.

First detail we can notice is the clothing. Amalia may be wearing the royal white cape but that is just what Armand wore. So the cape cannot count as classic clothing for the wedding because it is a common piece of clothing that the Sadida ruler(s) wear while on the job. It may not look very clear at first but if you zoom in on what Amalia is wearing, she seems to have put on the same usual clothing we see her wear at all times except that it now has the white color and the leaf is green, the color symbolizing how a new age came and the kingdom now has proper rulers.

We can technically say that Amalia’s choice of clothing for the wedding would be somewhat acceptable but since she has only changed the color of the same clothes she wears every day, we cannot count this as classic wedding attire.

As for Yugo, his clothes are much easier to declare that they are not fit to be worn for a proper wedding. He’s been wearing his hood and combat suit this whole time and even on this special day, he hasn’t taken them off.

It’s clear to say that these two did not respect the clothing rule for their own wedding.

Second detail we can notice are the rings. Usually, lovers often use wedding rings to symbolize their union as well as their commitment to one another. Dally and Eva perfectly demonstrated that rule by exchanging their rings with each other (despite how they’re actually brass knuckle rings but that still counts since that’s the iop way for ya lol).

Notice how neither Yugo nor Amalia has a ring for each other. Instead, they hold hands, symbolizing the union they have made between their people.

Third detail we can notice, there’s no priest. Unlike Dally and Eva who had the king for that, Yugo and Amalia did not choose anyone to begin the ceremony. They simply addressed their union by themselves.

Fourth detail we can notice is the audience. Compared to Dally and Eva’s wedding, the audience for Yugo and Amalia mainly consists of their friends and family. The others are the elite eliatropes and some sadidas.

Because of those stark differences, it’s clear to see that the ambiance in Yugo and Amalia’s wedding is far calmer and more private compared to Dally and Eva’s which is more public and much louder.

So now that we’ve got all the points that differentiate these two marriages, we’ve only got one question left:

Why are they different in the first place?

Dally and Eva are not royals and yet they seem to have filled all the boxes for having a perfect-looking wedding.

How did Yugo and Amalia, a god-king and a princess, manage to get a much simpler and calmer wedding compared to these two?

This wasn’t a coincidence. This wedding looks much smaller than what Dally and Eva had. According to Armand’s tree grave, which seemed to have grown up a bit, this suggests that Yugo and Amalia did have the time to prepare a bit more for their wedding but they simply chose not to.

In the special episodes, just right before Dally and Eva’s wedding had even been planned, Eva had specifically stated that no one bothers Dally for a week which implies that after that week of rest, these two must’ve gotten help from the sadidas to organize this whole event for them.

This means that Yugo and Amalia could’ve done the same thing and asked for something just as good, or better since they’re royals after all. But compared to Dally and Eva, they definitely had more time to ask since we know that trees don’t grow fast (I’m talking about Armand’s tree grave) and yet, it feels like they’ve just kept it simple.

But why?

My take on the matter is this:

Because Yugo and Amalia are not supposed to have a normal relationship. Therefore, everything they do usually strays away from anything remotely expected of them to have in a relationship.

For god’s sake, Yugo literally teleported him and Amalia AWAY FROM EVERYONE DURING WHAT SEEMED LIKE THE MIDDLE OF THE CEREMONY.

Their public wedding was specifically a political one. Which is why it would explain the lack of rings.

It was a happy political wedding however since Yugo and Amalia do harbor feelings for each other (suppressed feelings that they are now free to let out of course). But that’s when Yugo completely surprises Amalia, along with the others, when he brings her up in the skies, taking her away from everyone.

That sly dummy wanted her all to himself.

The wedding was so unconventional and they knew it. But they did not care. As long as they are together, they’ll be fine. After waiting for so long and finally having each other, properly planning their wedding doesn't seem as important anymore.

That’s why the ceremony was so different compared to the Percedals.

Note: Eva and Dally’s marriage was such a classic that Eva even had to wait for Dally to propose to her when she could’ve just been the one to initiate the first move. She even knew that Dally had been planning on asking for her hand and she deliberately waited. The only thing that isn’t considered classic in their marriage was getting children before the wedding lol

₊˚ෆ Plus, Ran doesn't help, really. Like I believe that Ran's Rindou's number one fan. I hc that when Rindou had a theater or smh like that at school Ran would be in the first line recording, clapping, screaming and just being Ran tbh.

₊˚ෆ At the start of your relationship with him he wouldn't show it, he's a 29 year old mafia man who is independant (his brother doesn't count), but as it progresses…

₊˚ෆ Look, when it comes to you, realistically, or he couldn't care less or he would lose his mind. Like he's a mafia man, I don't know what you expected.

₊˚ෆ If is the last option, the only Bonten member apart from him you'll know is his brother, no one else. This man is like a doberman, he'll protect you even if that's the last thing he'll do.

₊˚ෆ Ofc, Ran would do the same. You make his brother happy? He would protect you no matter what, just like Rindou would do it with his girl. There would be 4 persons in your marriage with Rindou; the two of you ofc and then Ran and his wife.

₊˚ෆ Because of this closeness, you and Ran's wife inevitably became friends, reaching the point of being like sisters who grew up together.

₊˚ෆ The only way for you to be Rindou's wife is if you knew him before everything. Here, the woman of the process was you and the woman to whom Rindou showed his teachings was also you. The same happens with Ran.

₊˚ෆ You'll meet each other in your high schooler years and stay with together since then, as the same happens with Rans wife, you girls practically grew up together.

₊˚ෆ When your husbands work, you would be going to Pilates class together, having brunches very frequently, planning playdates for your children (if you have them) and so on.

₊˚ෆ Basically you girls are maintained, at their insistence more than anything (because there is no way your husbands will let their wives do a single bit of work).

₊˚ෆ In this family of 4, visit each other was a tradition. Every Saturday, you went to each other's houses to have dinner.

₊˚ෆ Of course, when you see your bestie you forget about everything else. She's your bestie after all, you've got to tell each other tea when the spoon, the sugar and the cup weren't around. And if there's someone to blame, it's their fault.

₊˚ෆ Rindou didn't notice, just happy to see you happily talking with your best friend. He knows he is out very often, so he's glad you have someone to talk to.

₊˚ෆ But when the hours went by, and you're just talking with his brother and his wife, Rindou started to pout.

"What? You're seeing things, go check yourself for schizophrenia baby." he'll say every time you bring up the topic.

₊˚ෆ Rindou's an attention seeker and a semidirect one, like he'll give you a very direct hint about his feelings. He's a man, he's not ashamed about his feelings (to the most of them) and he's a "were not going to bed before we resolve our problem" type of guy.

₊˚ෆ He demonstrated this after a while.

You and Rans wife were happily talking in the living room, Ran doing some comments here and there but mostly of all you and her.

"–and the house must be clean! And that's literally what he told Asteria" she finished, leaning back to her husband’s arm again.

"No way!" you gasped in shock.

"I know, right? After all the things Asteria has done for him." she said letting out a sigh "He has the nerve to ask for more when she has done the impossible for him and for their family."

"Men these days." you denied with disappointment, getting supported by an assent and a 'yeah' for her part "Oh! How did I forget it? We have a present for you guys for your new pregnancy!" you revealed enthusiastic.

"Really? You guys didn't have to." said Ran.

"Nonsense, we gotta show our good wishes for the new future member." replied Rindou "It's in the car, we'll go for it, wait here." Rindou said standing up first, extending a hand to help you standing up.

As you guys were going to the garage, you felt a hand on your waist, pulling you closely to Rindous body.

"You know, you seem to enjoy the company of your best friend who you see almost every day more than the company of your husband, the one who is out very often." he said, giving you a squeeze on your waist while he took out the car keys with the other one.

"Ow, you want my attention? Is that what's going on?" you said teasing him, losing the warmth of his hand as he went to get the gift.

"Yes. I would be grateful, thank you." Rindou said directly, coming back with the gift (a very pretty baby cart that costed thousands) in his hands.

You chuckle as you were going to his side, hugging one of his arms and starting to tell him that it would be great to have another baby (or your first) so that It could be your best friends partner and thanks to that you could become family and- No, Rindou, our marriage is not enough, if our kids get married it would be like another different level.

Rindou, looking at you while you were daydreaming about some childhood best friend trope, wouldn't avoid the thought of-

Anything to see that smile in your face, my love.

₊˚ෆ Two month went by, and guess who's pregnant?

I love Rindou sm 😭💗

I hc that he would be very direct like he wouldn't have any drop of shame in his body.

omg it's currently 0:28 and I didn't make my masterlist yet 😩

Update: omg I’m so dumb, I just noticed that the request said that the reader was BUSY like doing smth and not having time 4 him like I didn’t finished reading the request– omg I’m so stupid 💀✋🏽

I’m so sorry, please send me a request saying if do you want me to change it or anything. I’m so sorry but it’s currently 1:57 and my brain is not braining 😭😭😭

So sorry baby :(

Spill your post trailer Helaegon ideas with us please😩

hellooo, I will try my utmost best to articulate them.. sensibly

.

.

as the teaser stands, the performances by Tom and Phia genuinely look phenomenal. It seems stealing the spotlight worthy, especially Phia. Since this is the first season we get to explore her character and also her last season because damn you writers, it looks like she’s really giving it her all and I’m genuinely so excited to see that. details? Love that they grew Aegon’s hair out, the Helaena shot of her looking up might be one most ethereal shots I’ve witnessed, the aegon strut was legit everything. things I am not much a fan of though is the costuming (for them, more so Aegon because we haven’t seen any Helaena dresses in full, at least officially). Because though I love the sunfyre embroidery on his outfit now, it literally looks no different from the coronation costume at first glance. Sure it is dark green instead of black but like cmon. Give aegon pretty costumes 😌. Also sad we didn’t see Sunfyre, Dreamfyre is understandable but come on, we see Syrax and not the most beautiful dragon in the world? Not the dragon who had the strongest dragon-rider bond in history with Aegon? Not the dragon who ends up killing Rhaenyra?? THE FUCK.

but I’ll stop complaining because the teaser is nice and these are just nitpicks about the definite bias. .

. Okay the next things I’m gonna cover are more so ideas for scenes rather than a breakdown or analysis cuz we literally got 2 shots of each of them 🥲

.

.

🕯️Helaena’s visions

I did see quite a few posts saying/implying that we will dive more into Helaena’s visions this season. So I do think it would be interesting to understand that dynamic with her and Aegon when she has them. Like has he matured enough to understand that even though he can’t comprehend his wife, she needs his help OR he still thinks that she is acting idiotic as he did in s1. The leak that said something along the lines that Aegon will first be seen at the council, bored but then is called to attend to his queen could also tie into this. Maybe Helaena isn’t crouching over due to pain of pregnancy ,as some have speculated , but due to the suddenness or pain of one of her visions.

(also I have put a one shot surrounding this in the W.I.P folder along with the thousand others lying there so expect it in about 80 years 😃)

🕯️just them handling being king and queen

this is a pretty vague thing but literally just show them. Just show them getting along, sitting at councils, dragon riding, sleeping in the same room, all before b&c rips everything down. Even one scene of them together handling this can work, in fact just one scene of them being soft with each other would just go to show what it was like and what it could have been like had the war not happened. Just adding more tragedy to their story.

🕯️flashbacks

another pretty vague one. But as I said in this post , I really do think we should have seen them as kids, how they get along and especially their wedding. They could perhaps fit it in, in the episode of the funeral. Aegon or Hela looking back on that day, when things were arguably simpler and their only concerns were stopping Aegon from crying during sex. (IM SORRY, WE ALL KNOW IT HAPPENED)

okay more seriously though, them reminiscing on the past i.e. the day their union was first formed on the day it all broke apart. They as parents should be allowed to feel that grief, with each other and I genuinely hope we don’t get robbed of that. speaking of them as parents though…

🕯️the kids

it is actually so unsettling that half the fans didn’t even realise that they have kids until b&c started being talked about.

Again I beg, SHOW THEM. show them talking to Jaehaerys about becoming heir, how Aegon would go back to his memory of his mother doing the same to him (could also come under flashbacks). Show them trying to stop Maelor to stop crying, show them sitting with their kids at the feast, show them trying to manage their duties as well as their kids.

.

.

but alas it’s just speculation, half of them just wishes. Let’s hope we get some glimpse of their dynamic is season 2 because my god helaegon nation is starving.

[spica-starson]

Hey sorry to bother you again, but you mention theres some difference from the donghua and the novel of land of miracles, can you tell me about those?? thank you very much

Hey! It‘s genuinely not a bother omg I always love to talk about them so feel free to send me asks whenever :D

Alright so funny thing is I‘d planned to do a comprehensive list sometime ago but I never got to it so I‘ll just do it now ahaha

- The biggest difference is the physical intimacy between Fa Hua and Lan Ge due to censorship. In the novels, they consistently hold hands from start to finish every time they need to power up and use the abilities of the Peerless Bead together. But of course the censorship couldn‘t have that, so all we got was them occasionally grabbing each other‘s wrists or touching palms in place of a hand hold 😩 it‘s better than nothing, but yeah…I just absolutely love how the grew so used to it over time and that holding hands is the norm but…oh well

- Another huge difference is how Hongbao was much less targeted as a „potential love interest“ in the novel. The donghua most likely did that to make sure it isn‘t too gay or the censorship will get their ass 😔💔 that scene in episode 36 where they talked about Hongbao while they were drunk doesn‘t exist in the novel, instead we had this iconic ambiguous af scene that made me go 🤨🏳️‍🌈⁉️:

You could interpret this scene in many ways, but what was most important to me is that by this point, both of them already accepted that they may be connected for the rest of their lives and are okay with it. Compare that to LG fussing over this and being disgusted at the start qwq and FH who was so against this bc he didn’t want to feel whatever LG was feeling now simply laughing at the notion and teasing LG, I just— *sOBs* MAN. They make so me insane. OTL You can interpret this scene a million ways and most of them does not have any hetero explanation like- JDFKDJDKSJK

No wonder that when they actually do adapt this scene later on (oh and they split this scene in two in the donghua), they changed Fa Hua‘s dialogues to be less ambiguous and even Lan Ge‘s to (again) circle back to „the girls“ even though that never happened in the novel lolol

Like I said, definitely to make sure the censorship doesn‘t shoot them down 😭 and to probably balance out the gayness in the next ep LOL (episode 37, my beloved…). Alas, some things had to give just so they can keep the other iconic scenes where they were mistaken for a couple and LG calling FH his boyfriend in front of his parents :“) even then the donghua diluted some things too ahaha (but at the same time made the scene more sweet too ???? Bless u donghua team ur a hit or miss but when u hit it‘s *chefs kiss*)

- The mention of Hongbao was also only added in the end as an afterthought, framed more as FH worrying over someone who literally sacrificed her life for them. Not only that, they actually also changed how Hongbao got the life stone from the Green Sea of Life. In the novel, she snatched it from them when she searched their bodies after they failed to run from her. In the donghua, they gave it to her after she protected them from the Heavenly Devils in episode 34.

- Lan Ge‘s personality in the donghua is a lot more…exaggerated? Probably to accentuate his cuteness ahaha so I‘m not gonna complain, but LG is a lot less…stupid in the novel JDJDJDK he still has his clumsy and stupid moments, but usually FH‘s there to knock him down a peg or two LOL

Tbh I like the donghua‘s interpretation of LG a lot, but what I wish they didn‘t change was him canonically having a beautiful singing voice. It‘s in his name dammit!! (蓝歌 = Blue Song). I wish we got to see him sing more qwq granted he doesn‘t even sing that much in the novel either but…I wish they showed him singing well in the donghua instead of what we got…

- They also showed much less bickering and banter between FH and LG in the donghua :( it‘s one of my fav moments of them in the novel, but I get why they had to cut it (screentime constraints and all that). But I reaally wish they kept FH‘s sassiness and bluntness with others too…like this man is absolutely ruthless especially with LG when it comes to dissing LOL but it also extends to other people he doesn’t like like Shenglian and Xiao Zhan. It‘s honestly insane how much they held back in the donghua 😭👏👏👏 I drew one of the funniest interactions of them here ahaha

- Fa Hua’s personality largely stayed the same, but the donghua did make him more…easily flustered around women who show interest in him ? In the novel he‘s actually quite dismissive and has a huge idgaf energy…😭 this is probably one of my biggest gripes with the donghua dhdjdhd but to be fair they also made him softer around LG too so I guess you win some you lose some LOL

The scenes in question were when Big Golden Goat Lady (who btw, they also made her to be all flustered when talking abt marriage??? When in the novel she was very matter-of-fact and pointedly not shy whatsoever, mainly focused on how FH would be an asset to her clan lol, and saying how marrying him would dilute the purity of the clan), LG teased FH about it and all FH did was glance at him and say „Childish.“ to him telepathically without all the embarrassed fussing lol. Oh and they also removed this dialogue between FH & LG,,, they‘re so damn silly bro i can‘t omfg

And another scene they excluded in the donghua was a scene where they were working together with the Five Commanders in the Thunder Legion. FH chose to work together with the only female Commander, Leng Lan, and she obviously didn‘t trust him. But only reason for this is bc she and her brigade was the only one he was familiar with bc they met them already and LG told him about her brigade earlier 😭 that and he was confident in his abilities regardless of who he chose ahaha

(I kid you not…FH smiled and laughed so much because of LG in this arc. Specifically, after That Hug Scene in episode 31/chapter 118…I had to stop reading bc my heart was so full lmao. I am so SO glad the donghua absolutely nailed this development bc the amount of times FH smiled/laughed bc of LG in S3 is twice as much as S1-S2 combined qwq <3)

Idk it just feels like to me that TJSS was reaallly hammering down how FH isn‘t interested in any of the female characters at all throughout the entire book 😭👏👏 like the female cast aside from Hongbao (and Shenglian) were mostly there to drive the plot forward + world building.

It‘s like a subverted harem where the main male chars are surrounded by women who want to marry them but also not bc they aren‘t even interested in them and just need something from FH & LG lmao (the tiger sisters wanting to piss off their dad, golden goat wanted someone as strong as her to help her clan, Shenglian wanted the Peerless Bead).

I love how it shows how each of these female characters have their own ambition and aren‘t just there as „potential love interest“ for the boys but also show FH and LG‘s lack of interest 👍 it‘s a nice change from the usual ahaha. To be fair I do think the donghua managed to show this too, but the novel did it much better imo

- Another scene they changed slightly was the scene where they saw each other naked JDNFJDK and yes in the novel they had no clothing whatsoever lol and LG didn‘t have emergency clothes for them (that was only bc of censorship lolol)

FH‘s reaction was also quite different from the novel ahaha he was much more…crazy ???? Mad. Furious. Yes HDNFJFKDK-

He already apologized once like in the donghua, but they didn‘t immediately make up and needed some time to cool off by themselves bc FH literally beat LG up immediately 😭😭😭 LG was initially gonna let FH beat him up without much complaint bc he felt guilty, but then FH just didn‘t seem to be stopping and grew madder so they ended up beating each other up and wrestling JFNFDNDJK

"I'm sorry." Fahua's voice was a little hoarse.

Lan Ge was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since they knew each other. This was the first time he heard Fahua actually apologize.

"The body, hair and skin are given to the parents. According to the tradition of our jurisdiction, except for the parents, the body cannot be seen by others casually."

"Then what would happen if I saw it?" Lan Ge asked curiously.

Fahua glanced at him, "Not much."

(this almost makes NO sense bc he was SO friggin mad that he thought LG saw him naked bc of his domain‘s traditions and apparently it meant nothing ??????? Nah. Nah man. I refuse to believe that LOL I mean you could argue this was the first time anyone‘s ever seen him naked which is why he overreacted that way but omg 😭 my intuition is saying sth else is at play…maybe he was angry the thought of being forced to marry LG HAHAAHKDJSK or maybe this is how he reacts when he‘s embarrased, or maybe all of the above :3 who knows. We already know nudity is one of the few things that can crack his stoicness ahaha)

LMAOOO WHY ARE THEY LIKE THISSSS

also LG crying out bc he didn‘t want to be the woman „why can‘t you be the woman?“ and FH‘s just like „can we not talk about this?“ while pouting ????? Ohmygoodjdjdh 😭👌💕💕💕

And of course, there‘s the scene where Lu Ying found them naked back in the house in the Green Sea of Life and just casually told them to continue what they were doing LMAOOOO I WISH THAT WAS ADAPTED BUT I GET WHY IT ISNT SHJDHSJS

(I drew a comic for that here!!)

- Hongbao is also quite different in the novel, and the Director actually admitted that they changed her to be slightly softer in the donghua. She was much more stoic and doesn‘t comprehend human culture like boyfriend-girlfriend, she’s colder and aloof even till the end of the book after she was reborn as a human girl. She only started to understand human emotions after she turned into a human at the end of the book.

- Hongbao‘s scene after the final battle with LG‘s parents were much, MUCH better in the novel. A lot of fans actually (rightfully) complained on weibo bc it was nothing like in the novel, instead the donghua snuck in another „come be LG‘s potential wife!“ joke even though by that point Hongbao was obviously intended to be more like family to FH & LG and learn how to be human through them and their families. In the novel it was only Xiangyun who mentioned that (bc Lan Xiang have always been more lax when it comes to LG marrying) and it wasn‘t done in an exaggerated manner either:

It‘s one of my fav scenes especially with Hongbao and I too was so upset they didn‘t include it :“) bc Xiangyun showing Hongbao warmth of a mother and family is so so important to her development as a character 😭💖 and seeing FH and LG as her family…sigh. Alas…

- Lan Ge‘s kindness

We know LG is a kindhearted person despite his flaws—FH wouldn‘t have loved him if he wasn‘t lol. But there are some scenes they didn‘t include in the novel that really show his consideration especially towards FH and explains why FH slowly warmed up and opened up to him.

For example after they met again at the Tri-Domain Competition, LG was shocked when he found out FH didn‘t have a place to stay and begrudgingly (but still willingly) planned to pay for his hotel room so he wouldn‘t have to sleep on the streets :“) Obviously they ended up not getting a single room bc it was all booked (they were so close to a "there was only one bed" situation damn…) but they did end up sharing a tent HAHAHA (eventually anyway when LG finally stops being a petty ass lmao)

And there was this scene after they started training together in earnest:

(P. S. LG sweetie wdym you‘ve always been observing him every day that you know his habits and that he takes a bath everyday (this was mentioned in an earlier chapter haha) 😄😄😄 sweetheart…

Oh the scene in the donghua where LG followed FH and saw him bathe before accidentally falling into the pool didn’t happen in the novel ahaha but it’s a welcome addition :3 I do think the donghua does a better job at showing LG being in denial about his attraction to men Fa Hua and it‘s sooo nice to especially see it in the deleted scenes ahaha)

But yeah, FH seeing how LG is actually quite generous and kind despite his brashness and arrogance, willing to pay for his hotel room bc he was about to sleep on the streets and considerate enough to get FH something to eat because he noticed FH was broke and ate nothing but crackers everyday…whose heart wouldn‘t be warmed by this ??? 🥹

And this scene after they met the Big Golden Goat and she treated them to the fish they caught:

The way LG—who complained nonstop about having to eat the bland crackers throughout the trip at sea—willingly ate it without complaints OR FH asking bc he didn‘t want to mess up FH‘s cultivation ?????????????:):):€/)/&-&-&

LIKE,,,, imagine this from FH‘s perspective: the person who obviously has a big appetite and loves to eat and is never against complaining his discomfort quietly follows your lead and only consumes the thing you‘re allowed to eat in solidarity without complaint and because he was afraid of messing your cultivation. If that isn‘t an act of love idk what is 😭💖💕💕 their love language really is acts of service ahaha

And FH being the little shit that he is (and obviously happy and touched at this gesture from LG) just never told him until that very second LOLLLL I love them so much byeeee OTL

- The scene that the donghua actually built upon is the scene in episode 34 when they had to part ways after basically being stuck together for 3 years qwq I absolutely LOVE the donghua‘s version omg and they nailed the quiet affection they have for each other and the discomfort of having to physically separate and be away from one another 😭💔

Fahua stood on the shore until the ripples left by Lan Ge dissipated, then turned and walked in the direction of the City of Wisdom.

Ever since they had the relationship of Wushuangzhu, they were together most of the time, and they were somewhat uncomfortable when they suddenly separated. In fact, it is impossible for them to be truly separated. Whether it is cultivation or spiritual communication, they maintain an extremely close connection.

— Chapter 124

*head in hands* they make me feel so ill….

- ok I’m gonna start talking about scenes from the last arc bc this is another scene that I hold so dear to my heart and absolutely gutted me when I realized they didn‘t have enough time to fit it in qwq

Any scene that starts with "Night fell" in the novel, you know it‘s gonna be sweet as hell 👌

Just- this whole scene + BBQ scene deserves a whole episode alone man 😭💔 but alas…

FH who‘s smiling more and loves messing with LG and LG who‘s grown so comfortable with FH and wants to show him the things he loves…we could‘ve had it all…

- Another scene they sadly couldn‘t fit in the donghua was this scene after the BBQ scene. Honestly I have no complaints bc the donghua made the scene even cuter than the novel, but it lacked the sheer hilarity of their interaction and FH trolling LG HAHAHAHA

Oh and in the novel, the BBQ scene is the first time FH drank alcohol, not just eat meat! I thought I should mention that bc I felt it important to his character development and relationship growth with LG :D bc FH has always avoided alcohol bc of its side effects, but he felt safe enough to drink and let go with LG at his side;;

Anyways here‘s the scene of FH being an absolute troll (and LG getting his revenge for all his bullying only for it to backfire LOL):

And another scene after they realized the Heavenly Demons have arrived where FH immediately told LG "I understand. I'll stay with you." They did keep a part of this dialogue but not all :“) which is a shame bc it gave us an insight on how they felt at that moment in time.

Basically LG called out to FH in his heart and FH replied faintly "There‘s no need to say words of gratitude." bc he could tell LG was so, so grateful he stayed just for him even though they should be running away, but at this point, their relationship was already beyond that. So instead LG deflected and said "For the sake of your willingness to stay with me, let's forget about the beef tongue just now!"

And Fa Hua only replied with:

"Speaking as if I can live if you die." Fa Hua's body paused for a moment before he accelerated again and headed straight for Thunder City.

Lan Ge was a little dazed while speeding up. Why did this guy's words seem inconsistent? Could it be that he was also a little nervous?

Like…omg OTL I really wish they kept this bc there‘s a lot of unspoken stuff between them and I love it qwq

- Even though the donghua did sneak in a really funny scene of LG‘s parents suspecting LG actually being in a relationship with FH and going „No way…right?“ in the novel they actually explored it more even if just a bit ahaha

It just showed how his parents would be totally okay with him being in love with FH as long as he either took on the job or got married LMAO

- "I would love the whole world for you."

「为了你我愿意热爱整个世界。」

They actually managed to reference this line in the donghua for a split second ahaha and I loooveee how they used "and the most important one…is you." in place of that bc I literally lost my mind during that scene BDNDBDK BUT !!! I wanted to talk about the significance of this line and why they had to remove it due to censorship.

This line "For you, I would love the whole world" was the name of the chapter (Ch 164), and it is also the name of the autobiography by the author Tang Jia San Shao/TJSS, where he narrates the 16-year love story between him and his (now late) wife, how their friendship and love persist over the years. The fact that he used this specific line for FH & LG is so— OTL it just shows how he wanted the readers to know that the love between FH & LG runs deep and changed them both for the better, how important they are to each other. That and…his wife passed away due to cancer while he was writing this novel. I will forever be grateful to him for still pushing through despite the obvious grief he lived in and wish him nothing but the best;;

Here‘s the scene from the novel:

While it is true that the ultimate law of fire is warmth, they were much more upfront of the true nature: THEY USED THE POWER OF LOVE !!!!! It‘s so clinche and corny and I love it so friggin much 🥹💖💕💕

And the way LG was all like „For whom do you love? For whom?!" as though he’s daring FH to say it outloud and FH not even denying it,,, them not wanting to acknowledge it bc obviously it‘s EACH OTHER 😭✨ man,,,, my embarrassed bbys ilysm 🥰

TJSS had no intention of being subtle in the novel that they do love each other—the nature of the love is intentionally kept vague so we can interpret it however we want, but the fact that they‘re also clearly written as soulmates is so— *chef‘s kiss*

We also got to see them hug nonconsensually aka forced by the Peerless Bead and they were like „ewwww get off!!!“ afterwards as if they’ve never hugged before (remember FH comforting LG with a hug…and LG hugging FH’s thigh…yea…) LOL it was so silly of them dhsjshajajah

- Chapter 118/Episode 31: "Good boy."

Saving this for last because it‘s 1) my favorite, most beloved scene in the entire book and 2) the donghua actually nailed it 100% and made it even better. Pretty sure all the budget went to that episode omg 😭🫶✨ which is so real of them bc it‘s THE most crucial scene in the whole book, especially when it comes to LG & FH‘s relationship. It created a very subtle shift in their dynamic in that…they know now. They know how much they matter to each other. Not just bc they could feel each other‘s emotions, but because of their actions.

In the novel, FH was willing to sacrifice his cultivation in order for them to survive, in order for LG to avenge his parents, and when LG saw FH…LG saw the back of his mother as she was sacrificing herself for him, and he snapped. The donghua turned it even more emotional and dramatic by making them nearly lose their lives but it works, bc it still followed the core of the narrative.

All that matters is for us to know just how important this was to them, and to show how LG who was passively suicidal defy death bc he wanted FH to live. That he didn‘t want FH to sacrifice himself like his parents did. And FH now knew just how much LG cares about him too qwq sigh. Man. This scene was done so incredibly beautifully and respectfully, and for that alone I‘m willing to overlook all the other flaws of the donghua ahaha

Here‘s my favorite excerpt from the novel:

Fahua felt the holy power in his body like a blowout, and felt the blank ninth page of the god-given code slowly opened. He lowered his head, looked at Lan Ge who was hugging his thigh in a daze, raised his hand, and gently stroked his head, subconsciously said: "Good boy! (乖!)"

Lan Ge suddenly let go of his arms as if he had been struck by electricity and jumped up in an instant, "Good boy, my ass!"

But Fahua laughed, with a gentle and happy smile, and surprisingly didn't diss him again.

Lan Ge also laughed, yes, they succeeded,

You remember how gentle FH is around children right? And he would often praise them with "乖" when they hug his thigh and clamour around him…I think LG definitely reminded him of them in that moment, clutching tightly to him, desperately, because he didn‘t want to lose him at all. He‘s so irrevocably fond of him and they love each other so SO much I just— *collapses*

FH‘s always been very gentle and patient with LG (when he‘s not being a bully and manhandling him lolol) especially in the face of his grief, and it all came to a head in this scene, where LG was struck with the fear of losing FH and being left behind again, where he was forced to be honest with his feelings and have it reach FH…god this scene is so peak. And the donghua did it perfectly.

Anywho hmm…I think I got all the important differences hmmm I can‘t fit in any more images anyway but if I did forget some (and I‘m sure i have lmao) I‘ll just add it under a reblog or sth :D

I do think the novel does a good job at keeping their relationship relatively vague and ambiguous while still catering to danmei enjoyers and keeping itself genuine and true to itself haha.

I heard TJSS actually wanted to write a BL but he realized it wasn‘t working out the way he wanted so he changed his mind and we ended up with this gem XD and honestly I wouldn‘t have it any other way bc that‘s what makes FH & LG so special to me (but that‘s just me).

(Plus censorship has been growing even more strict sadly and in a way…it‘s a good thing Shenlan Qiyu isn‘t a „true“ BL bc we might not have gotten 3 seasons worth of content in that case in this day and age 😭💔 ughhh)

absolutely gilmore girlssss!! it’s just so my fav everything it’s so perfectly balanced in element and entertaining and i feel like i can drop in any place any episode and enjoy it no matter what 😩🩷 plus, it’s so comforting when im homesick bc it reminds me so much of my mommm like that’s our showww we’ve watched it together going on 5 times now. a good runner up is friends bc that’s what i grew up watchingggg it’s my family’s fav show ever. 

20. tell us about a memory you hold close to your heart

this is very mama-kitty centric LMAOOO she’s just such an important part of my life but the first thing that came to mind is that we took a trip to portland a couple of years ago for spring break, just me and her. i’ve never really traveled by myself before and even though me and my mom spend a lottt of time together, being able to travel just the two of us was incredible!!! we only had 4 days there but we made the absolute most of themmm we even drove up to seattle one day for funsies. it was just a really incredible trip and it’s nice to see my mom so carefree and spontaneous. one day we took a tour that ended up being a bust and had the whole rest of the day free and my mom loves nature (and portland is all nature LMAOO) so we literally just typed “waterfall” into google maps and drove 40min to see a waterfall and hiked up to a little bridge underneath. it was fantastic. 

ask game!

[number1jeonginstan]

hehe its me! I'm just here to say hi Ju🤗🤗🤗

I would love to share this dirty, dirty thought with you

Jeongin can't help it, but sometimes he just ventures to your picture on his phone and jerks off to your pretty, pretty face. He knows he shouldn't, that if you ever found out how he felt he would risk losing you as a friend.

So instead, he makes sure he's under all his blankets at night, door tightly shut, so he can cum all over your pretty face

A/N: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD REQUEST. This is really feeding into my Jeongin obsession, because have you seen this man he's so 😩. Anyways, I wanted to make this kinda pervy!jeongin, so I hope this was to your liking because I loved writing it (I literally wrote it as soon as you sent me this request)!!

wc: 1.1k

Minors don't interact, 18+

Pairing: Pervy BestFriend!Jeongin x afab!reader

Warnings: m!masturbation, pervy jeongin, non-con photo taking, idk what else...

He knows he shouldn’t, you guys have been best friends since you were little. You grew up as next-door neighbors, you a year younger than him, but were inseparable nonetheless. He always thought of you as a little sister, someone he could hang out with all the time. It wasn’t until you went to the US to study. It was around the same time he became an idol, the both of you still texting and calling at times. 

He had followed you on Instagram on his secret account, wanting to keep in touch with what was happening while you were there. As time went on, you began posting more scandalous photos, things he would never have expected from you.

When you posted yourself in a bikini for the first time on your instagram, Jeongin felt like he was having whiplash. He never expected you to wear something that skimpy, and for him to love it so much. He felt himself going hard from just a picture of you. He shouldn’t be thinking of you that way, right? You were his best friend, someone he could always confide in, you guys saw each other at your worst, but now. Now, he was seeing you in a whole new light. 

He let all of his doubts fall out of the window as soon as he started palming his hardened cock through his boxers. It was okay as long as he was just looking at your body he thought to himself. It wasn’t like he was thinking about your cute lips sucking his cock. Your tongue licking the tip, sucking on the pre-cum that was being released by it. 

He definitely was not thinking about your hands fondling his balls as he wrapped his own hands around his cock. He looked at his phone one more time, seeing your cute face splayed on his screen. You would look so good with his cum all over your face, doe eyes staring up at him. That was all he needed to cum, covering his toned stomach with his cum and groaning. You didn’t need to know about this, you didn’t need to know what your best friend thought of you. 

He vowed to himself that he would never do it again, too ashamed to even look you in the eye when you called next. 

“Jeongin, the beaches here are so beautiful, when you guys go on tour again, we should go together!” you exclaimed while on FaceTime with him. “Yeah, that would be nice” he stuttered out loud, still embarrassed by what happened a few days prior. 

“Or actually, when I come back to Busan next week. Your parents told me you will be free by then and are coming home for a week, so we will be able to hang out like old times!” 

That caught his attention, you around him for an entire week. Being able to see you through a screen is one thing, but in person, seeing all of your curves, your face, and your lips was a whole other. “Yeah, that would be nice,” he said barely paying attention to what you were saying. 

How was he going to react to seeing you, how is he going to look at you after how he’s been thinking about you? 

He had forgotten about it for a week, preoccupied with finishing the promotions for his most recent comeback. He was so excited to go back home, leaving a day later than he promised his family because of an emergency. 

As he finally got off the train from Seoul, the first person he saw was you. You were in a miniskirt and a T-shirt. You waved at him, knowing his idol status, you couldn’t run up to him. You waited as he left the crowded station, watching as everyone left and started walking home and waiting for him to follow. 

As soon as you both were in a secluded enough area, you ran up to hug him. “I’m so happy to see you Innie!” you screamed, pressing your face against his chest. “I’m happy to see you too!” he gleamed, his face turning a bit red by the way your chest was pressed up against his. 

“You must be tired from all the hard work you’ve been doing” you huffed, “let me pick up your bag” you gleamed. Jeongin was about to object, but the thought of you bending over in such a small skirt to pick up his bag piqued his interest, you wouldn’t mind right? Plus if he got a picture of the panties under your skirt, there would be no harm. 

He reluctantly agreed, quickly pulling out his phone to take a picture as you bent over picking up his bag. You had no idea clue what ulterior motives he had behind letting you pick up his bag. You were just happy to take some stress off of him knowing how hard he works.

When you arrived at your shared apartment complex, you spoke up. “Innie, is there something you wanted to do today?” you asked, a pleading look in your eyes. 

“If it’s okay y/nnie, I’m actually going to take a quick nap, I’m quite tired.” he said while stretching his arms out, trying to show that he was exhausted. “Yeah, of course, we can always go get dinner or do something after” you grinned. 

You dropped him and his stuff off at his apartment before heading into your own oblivious to the fact that Jeongin was not actually going to sleep. 

As soon as the door shut to his apartment, Jeongin ran to his room. He locked the door, double-checking that it was, and laid on his bed. He got under the blanket, taking out his phone in his left hand and freeing his already hard cock from his boxers. 

Fuck, he groaned to himself. You were wearing little pink cotton panties that outlined the lips of your cunt perfectly. He stroked his cock, imagining how good your cunt would feel humping against him. Were you still a virgin he thought to himself. Would you let him be your first? 

He continued to tug at his cock, using his pre-cum as lube as he continued to fantasize about you. You were so cute and he just wanted to ruin you, make you beg for his cock until you were dumb around his cock, only babbling “Innie”. Imagining the way you would call his name on his cock was all he needed to cum. 

He really needed to stop fantasizing about his best friend.

mymattsun 2022. reblogs and feedback are greatly appreciated xx. please do not repost or modify on this or any other platform.

—MUZIC!¡

FAV GENRE(S)- R&B, rock, hiphop, funk

FAV ARTIST(S)- eminem, megan thee stallion, mötley crüe, ABBA, adele, playboy carti, greta van fleet, guns n roses, beyoncé,

— FAMILY FIRST!¡

momma’s boy(the good kind), 1 younger brother, 1 younger sister, ded beat dad.

v close with his family <3

spent most his teen years looking after his siblings as his mom was a bartender in the local bar and worked night shifts.

his dad wasn’t in the picture for majority of his childhood, but got back with his mom, had his siblings now sees them on weekends. but still acts like issei doesn’t exist. (we don’t like isseis dad in here >:( )

his moms irish n his dad is japanese (personal self indulgent hc 😇)

big ass family on his moms side. i’m talking grandkids upon grandkids and his moms got 3 sisters n 2 brothers.

issei’s actually the oldest grandchild, the next after him was born 3 years after him but he’s still just as close with them all.

—HOBBIEZ!¡

volleyball in hs obviously but he also grew up with a love for basketball. him and makki grew up playing on the street (also hc him and makki as childhood friends n neighbours:) )

plays the guitar! and he’s really good at it!! and he can sing to but gets embarrassed doing it infront of people.

imma say it, my boys a stoner. look at him!! him and makki!

did it a lot as a teenager then kind of pulled back a bit when he first moved out n got a job, but then realised how tiring adulthood is and picked it back up. especially since him and makki have their own place. (also hc they live together timeskip:p)

gamerrr😩 nah but he spends hours on the play station with makki sometimes u just gotta b like. “issei let’s take a break” before the controllers on the neighbours kitchen table.

fav games r probably cod, ff7 and fnaf(he grew up on it k?)

—INK & NEEDLES!¡

but he has both his first lobes done and usually just wears plain balls in them or diamonds. also has his right helix, left tragus.

on his face he did have his lip done as a teen but took it out when he hit his twenties. kinda misses it. but ones he still has are his nose and left eyebrow. and then also has 1 nipple done.

and tattoos. he definitely has over 25 altogether but some of his favs are:

he has the classic mom in a heart tattoo on the inside of his bicep. roman numerals of his moms bday and his.

has a naked girl on his right ribs that has “killer kat” written on like a sash under it. in honour of him loosing his virginity to a crazy bitch named kat.

has a butterfly on the top of his spine

on his right forearm he has a snake wrapped in thorns going around his arm, but worked his other ink around it.

has lost on his left calf and found on his right in that like gothic font.

has a strawberry on his arm dedicated to his bestie <3 makki has a cigarette for issei (he wasn’t happy bout that.)

and then finally has “ibiza 2019” tattooed on his ass cheek from a seijoh 4 holiday.

—GENERAL!¡

all round chill guy, loves to be that friend that you can relay on. so his place growing up was the place, and now his own apartment is the place.

ik everyone says it but mf gets lazy like, i know it’s saturday but that don’t mean we gotta lie in bed till 1:30pm kay baby? hell then suggest laying on the couch instead.

he could finish a whole netflix series and some more in a day like it’s light work.

but aswell, he could literally wake up one morning, clean his whole house then wait for you or makki to wake up then drag you on a hike. like where’s this energy when needed??

issei has convinced himself he has the best sense of style out of the seijoh 4. in his mind it goes:

issei-> iwa-> makki-> oikawa.

he hasn’t let kawa live down those shorts..

he has a habit of playing the same song whenever he walks to the corner shop by his building. he has it blaring in his headphones and sometimes he starts singing aloud.

also he’s an unREAL singer btw

he also has a habit of walking around naked, claiming it’s more liberating.

he can play drums and guitar!! he used it as a way to distract himself when he was younger and really wanted to be in a band. still thinks he could but doesn’t wanna risk it y’know?

[suguruverse]

Hey sweetheart! Firstly, your blog is so beautiful and your writings are just pure gold. But I especially enjoyed reading Inarizaki trio and Nishinoya and Tanaka as best friends, so I was wondering if you could write that but with Oikawa and Iwaizumi? Thank youuu❤️

-🦔

— BEING BEST FRIENDS WITH OIKAWA AND IWAIZUMI

includes - oikawa tooru and iwaizumi hajime

a/n - i’m considering making this a series!! thoughts?? <3

- LMAO GOOD LUCK WITH THIS ONE

- i’m just gonna start this off by saying that they are the biggest cockblocks ever

- you could literally be talking to ANYONE who is the opposite gender whether it be a cousin or a friend and they’ll still be like:

“hey BABE, how’s my lovely GIRLFRIEND doing? doing good? are you’re legs okay after WHAT WE DID LAST NIGHT. sorry for being so ROUGH. please forgive me BABY”

- that’s mostly oikawa but what ever

- istg oikawa flirts with you like it’s no ones business

- doesn’t matter if you guys are best friends, he will 100% act like your very own horny boyfriend

- but whenever he does that, iwa is right there protecting you 😩

- one time oikawa slapped your ass as a joke and iwa beat him up

- iwa: the protector of women

- being best friends with iwa = having your own knight in shining armour

- they honestly act as if you’re so fragile and as if you’re a baby that needs protecting

- ugh the nicknames

- oikawa prefers petnames like cutie, babe, baby. yk the basic ones

- iwa likes petnames that have ‘my’ in front of it like ‘my love, my dear’

- the three of you guys grew up together so they always have a little soft spot for you especially iwaizumi

- they just love doting on you so much <3

- trying to find a boyfriend? good luck

- they always find a problem in any guy that you show even a little bit of interest in

- one time, you said that you were gonna hang out with makki and mattsun and they literally gave you the cold shoulder for a week

- OMG WHENEVER YOU GUYS HANG OUT TOGETHER, YOU AND OIKAWA DO VLOGS AND IWAIZUMI HATES IT SO MUCH

- tbh nobody knows why iwaizumi still tolerates you guys but we all know he’s secretly a softie

- you never greet them normally, you always jump onto them and latch on like a koala to get their attention

- since iwaizumi is more reserved than oikawa in a way, you guys love staying in to watch movies and cuddle

- THEY. ARE. SO. OBSERVANT.

- you could have the smallest change in your behaviour and they would know straight away

- they are seriously the best people to talk about your feelings with

- depending on what you want, they can easily give you sympathy or a logical solution

- attending their games is a no brainer

- and because of how well you deal with them both, they practically forced you into the gym and said that you’re gonna be their manager

- you didn’t really mind because you got to spend more time with them

- you were also able to watch over oikawa and make sure that he wasn’t overworking himself and staying up late

- you also serve the purpose of calming down iwaizumi and kyotani when needed

- when they lost against karasuno, you were right there to hug them and comfort them for the next couple of days

- you and oikawa and always doing some weird shit in public to embarrass iwaizumi and its works

- but he always leaves you guys because sometimes he just can’t deal with your bullshit </3

- iwaizumi is always dragging you out at like 5am to go on a run with him

- OIKAWA IS THE CLINGIEST MF ALIVE

- like sometimes you’ll fall asleep alone in bed then wake up with oikawa clinging onto your waist like his life depended on it

- when you questioned it, he just said that he missed you

- but mf how’d you get in the house

- daily roasting battles

- some people wonder how you guys are still friends when yall literally speak to eachother like you hate one another

- THEY ARE HUMAN HEATERS AND YOU ARE NOT AFRAID TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT

- matching items <3

- shopping with oikawa is a dream come true

- iwaizumi??? not really

- he’s got the spirit tho

- he’s like the type of guy who awkwardly hold your bag when you’re trying on clothes

gc name: y/n’s fanclub

oikawa: where’s y/n, i can’t find her

iwa: my house, why?

oikawa: IWA CHAN, HOW DARE YOU, STEALING MY PRECIOUS BABY LIKE THAT

iwa: shut up shittykawa, she’s sleeping in my arms right now. so stop texting or come over and watch the movie with us

oikawa: IWA CHAN WHY WASN’T I INVITED FROM THE START

iwa: you were, but you said no because you were busy with volleyball

oikawa: i-

iwa: so you coming or not, ur gonna wake them up with all the notifs you idiot

oikawa: hmph, im coming over and you guys better not be cuddling when i get there

iwa: too late, already are, did you not see my text from before ^^

you: TOORU SHUT UP STOP COMPLAINING AND JUST GET HERE ALREADY YOU’RE SO DAMN LOUD

oikawa: y/n-chan that’s not very nice of you, i thought i was your favourite

you: wrong, its haji

oikawa: HAJI??? HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN CANOODOOLING BEHIND MY BACK

iwa: so what if we have, just get here already dumbass

oikawa: already here, open the door before i break it down 

iwa: use the backdoor, i cant get up, y/n is lying on top of me

oikawa: i’ll remember this day, you two, watch your backs

you: yk tooru if you’re just gonna keep texting and not come into the house, you might as well just go home

oikawa: shut up im coming <3

you: <3

iwa: <3

[a-jynx]

more dsmp things??? you’d be correct >:) also thank y’all for the insane amount of notes and love towards these weird things i make and my on-going series - it makes me happy knowing i’m not terrible at writing 😩😭🤍

(Sapnap ft. Dream)

you’d known dream for god knows how long - that pretty much equaling forever (aye 4lyfers) and being the besties you are, naturally you moved in together.. And it was good! It was fun and you both just worked well with each other on everything - eh, almost everything…

“i cannot believe you, Clay! Seriously, i mean, what were you thinking!” you couldn’t help but groan at the dirty blonde as he sheepishly grinned, rubbing the back of his head.

“i thought it’d be a good idea-“

“you could’ve talked to me first..” you sigh, rubbing your temples. “how long before he gets-“ a sharp doorbell chime sounded through the house. “here… HES ALREADY IN FLORIDA!?!” you hissed as Dream stumbled back, his mouth opening and shutting like a fish.

And that’s what led you to now - living with two guys, who’re best friends, one that’s your best friend, and the other..? oh who knows..

“why do you act like you hate each other?” dream groaned, scrolling through his phone while you rolled your eyes.

“we don’t hate each other, ya green blob, we just.. i don’t know we’re too different?”

“aren’t opposites supposed to attract?” “i will literally throw my phone at your head.”

“Y/N, please, pretty please, pleaaaasssseeee-“

“Dream, buddy, if you don’t shut up in the next 2 seconds i’m going to kill you!”

needless to say, he didn’t shut up. The next few days were honestly gruesome, dream wouldn’t let up about Sapnap! Slowly your everyday conversations became revolved around the Texan.

Now sitting in the living room with both boys, you paused the movie with a huff, causing both of them to turn towards you.

“Y/n? Ruining my immersion here,” Sap grinned, making you chuckle some before nodding and turning towards Dream.

“what had been your obsession with Sapnap lately?” they both went wide-eyed as you propped your head onto your palm.

“what?” “yeah! for the last week, or so, you’ve only wanted to talk about Sappy here! Soooo, obsession?” you couldn’t help but grin as the dirty blonde snorted before glancing towards the dark headed brunette, who’s cheeks were a tinted rosy pink.

“yeah, Sap, tell Y/N all about the ‘obsession’” now you grew confused. Turning your head towards him, you grew wide-eyed as he audible gulped.

“you’re kidding- Sap, you’re way out of my league-“

both boys snapped their heads towards you as if you had insulted their very being before both went into rants about you. Dream moving towards you and slamming a pillow against the side of your head, knocking you into Sap’s shoulder.

“Don’t talk about my best friend like that!” he huffed, keeping the pillow in his lap ad you rolled your eyes. “i’m telling the truth, and Sap, I.. I just don’t know, I haven’t dated in so long-“

“And that’s fine! That’s- We don’t have to jump into dating! I just.. Let me take you out on a date?” his cheeks were a blushing red now while one of his hands ruffled his hair while you stared at him, his mouth opening and closing like a fish.

“i don’t know..”

“why don’t you race for you?” dream suddenly spoke, making you jump had forgotten he was there.

“huh?” You and Sap just looked at him as he shrugged, leaning forward onto his knees.

“i mean it! Why don’t you guys do a speed-run? Sap’s been wanting to practice for the upcoming 5 Hunters video, and yoooou’ve been wanting to just try a speed-run?”

~~~~~

“That’s such bullshit! I had you!” You called over your mic while Dream was wheezing up a storm. Sapnap couldn’t help but feel a rush of relief rush through him.

“So, Y/n..” Sap’s voice trailed through the mic as you felt heat crawl up your neck and fill out your cheeks. “I like burgers..?”

“Perfect..” Sap couldn’t help but smile, Dream had finally held up his end of the deal, now it was time for Sapnap to hold up his.

~~~~

“Bring me back something, yeah?” Dream grinned as you glanced at yourself in the mirror with a roll of your eyes, you nodded.

“Sure, text either of us what you need and we’ll-“ you paused as you saw Sap descend down the stairs, and you couldn’t help but feel your heartbeat triple. He looked good. Even in jeans and his hoodie, he looked good..

“ready?” “more than i thought I’d be..” you mumbled as he laced his arm with yours, leading you out the door and towards his car. Dream waved you two out with Patched in his hold.

“I’m going to be completely honest,” Sap started as you pulled out the driveway, causing your stomach to drop. “I’m fucking nervous to be here right now..”

You furrowed your brows, “what? why?”

“You’re… Well, you’re you! You’re… You’re just so,” Sap fumbled over his words as you couldn’t help but feel the smile grace your lips with a soft chuckle. “I get it, and if we’re being honest.. I’m nervous but excited.”

Sap reached over, his slightly trembling hand threading your fingers together as you both shared a smile. “Well, I’m glad we’re both nervous but excited.” Pulling into a small strip, climbing out of the car you both made your way to the small burger joint you had been beaming about for a little bit, made your heart flutter.

“this is the burger place you mentioned, right? It took a little bit to get a reservation-“

“reservation..? Wait, how’d you know I even agree to the speed-run challenge? Or even to this date?” You slightly scoffed, weaving your arm out of Sap’s hold as you came to a halt, crossing them over your chest.

“I-Well, I just.. Okay, to be fair, I’ve been wanting to ask you out for the past couple of months since I’ve been here but I never knew how or what to do and so Dream-“

“Of course, Dream jumped in! That’s- Oh my god, that’s how you won, wasn’t it! I did kill you but the game didn’t count it!” You gasped, jabbing your index into his chest as he stumbled over his words, only to go silent when a waiter called out his name. You huffed, pinching your lips together tightly. “You’re lucky I like burgers.”

~~~~

You sat across from each other, and you couldn’t help but hold the frown and arms crossed. Sapnap couldn’t help but feel heat licking at the back of his neck as their waitress brought over your drinks.

“Ready to order?”

“Can I get the cheeseburger - no tomato or pickle? French fries on the side, please.” You chimed, your voice sickly sweet as Sap ordered the same, keeping all the fixings on the food.

“Coming up and,” the older woman leaned closer to you. “Give him a chance, baby, he’s trying..” She gave you a gentle smile before taking your order to the kitchen. You couldn’t help but sigh, dropping the frown and leaning across the table, catching Sapnap’s attention.

“Okay.. You have a redemption arc, however, if this redemption doesn’t seem… Fit. You lose a canon life, Sap.” You sighed as Sap smiled, his hand reaching across the table - knocking over your drink and making it splash across the table.. And onto you.

You both gasped as you shot up, the whole restaurant growing quiet as you rolled your lips tightly together before you spun on your heel and marched out the door. Sapnap stumbled, throwing a few bills down before following quickly after you.

“Y/N! Y/n, I’m so sorry I just- I didn’t think-“

“Sap, just please- Can we forget this..? I knew I wasn’t ready to date, I shouldn’t have agreed to date you just because I like you, I shouldn’t have-“

“What..?” “What? What do you mean what?”

“You like me..?” Your eyes grew wide as your hand brushed up, covering your mouth as you spun in your heel and continued your march towards the car. You stopped when a hand yanked you back, your slightly wet chest colliding with his.

“You’re not kidding? Like you- you like me?” Sap couldn’t hide the smile as he held you by the shoulders, you scoffed backing the smile whilst biting your lip.

“Truthfully, you’re losing your chances,” suddenly, he leaned close, his breath fanning across your cheeks as he paused, meeting your eyes. “Can we.. Can I kiss you?”

“You willing to lose a canonical life for a simple kiss? You really are a simp,” you grinned when his lips crashed into yours, you couldn’t help the grin widen as he leaned back pressing more small kisses across your cheeks and on the tip of your nose.

“I don’t care if I’m a simp, you’re too cute to not simp for anyway.” Sap grinned, a small smirk as he noticed the heavy blush on your cheeks.

“Honey, your orders are ready - I went ahead and made them to-go.” The waitress suddenly called out the restaurant door. Heat spread across your neck and cheeks as Sapnap chuckled, thanking her before turning back to you, pressing a sweet and quick kiss to your hairline.

“Here,” he suddenly stepped back, pulling off his hoodie and offering it to you. You grinned, peeling off your own shirt, causing him to blush and shield you as you pulled on his hoodie, relishing in the warmth before grinning and stepping forward, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

“You’re a real simp, Sappy.. But, let’s see how you do on our second date.”

[ lowkey lost where i was originally taking this headcannon/imagine (i truly dont know what this is) but i hope you enjoy it nonetheless 🤍 ]

[t4tozier]

some thoughts about the season before i see anyone else’s opinions:

- mikes gay little face when he looked at eddie in the first episode

- i did kind of know that jamie was gonna be one and then i finally in the last episode made the vecna connection but i did not see the henry creel part coming

- i thought everything was really cool and made sense for the most part but i thought the favorite song thing was a little too easy of a solution

- like why would that be the one thing to anchor you

- that being said the running up that hill scene gave me chills and sadie sink was so good

- murray ended up being a total badass and i love him for that

- i’m glad that they did have the whole max being relieved billy was dead but also grieving him thing

- poor joyce never wanted any of this, she just lost her son in the first episode and now she’s getting into plane crashes and breaking into russian prisons

- i loveeee what i’m seeing with mike’s gradual realization that it’s not about el it’s about him not being able to reciprocate those feelings and mistaking caring deeply for her for loving her romantically

- i’m very upset we didn’t get to see anything about the cali gang in the last episode but i get it was already long enough as it was and they’re just road tripping

- also what’s the goddamn painting of

- i would’ve loved to see the class’ reaction to will’s presentation but it was about el getting bullied not will so they couldn’t do both ig

- i didn’t think i was gonna like argyle as much as i did tbh

- and erica definitely grew on me this season

- i loved robin and she gave me lots of evidence for autistic robin sooo <3

- i thought eddie was a bit over the top at first but i do love him

- i definitely prefer nancy and steve over nancy and jonathan but i would love it if they didn’t have to be together, obviously that’s what’s going to happen tho

- i would not call any of the marketing queerbaiting but i was expecting some of those moments like when el was pulled away by angela to be more about will and mike and not just a little quick scene before the bullying started again

- speaking of my girl :((( she’s been through so much and literally she did not invite any of it like it’s not ur fault ppl don’t like u baby :(((

- can someone put will’s face on troy’s when he says “what about us”

- also baby are you even trying to hide it at this point like what was that

- i also loved to see lucas have more of a role this time around i was so excited when he led them to the byers and then ran away like YESSS GO BABY

- and dustin getting his time to shine too he’s so smart <3

- loved seeing suzie again that was fun

- overall i really liked this season and i can’t wait for the second part 😩😩

[dizzythegreat]

all you need is time PART ONE

Time Machine

relatable, hits hard man :(

made me want to cry

i interpreted it as being about wanting to go back to your childhood, wishing you could go back to where you started, to your roots, before you grew up and changed and who you used to be dissolved into memory

the fact that the word “electrons” appears in the song makes me strangely happy. its an uncommon word and its just so cool that it’s in there

the parts about the world ending could be interpreted in a lot of different ways, for me it felt like a cry for your life falling apart around you, collapsing in on yourself like a dying star and wishing you could just go back and undo it all

“we could try a little harder” vs “if i go back, will i do it all the same?” would you truly re-do all the mistakes and experiences that brought you to who you are now? would you try harder and be better, at the cost of the person you are now?

favourite lyric: “should we go back to where we started?”

amazing. 9.6/10

Glitter

taught myself the hand choreo from the video and was unreasonably proud of myself

mostly skipped this one in favour of the new songs tbh because ive listened to it religiously since it came out in 2021 

still a banger though, 8/10

favourite lyric: “i neglected my plants to prove i would”

I’m Just Another Person Oh God

RELATABLE AGAIN

craving adventure, magic, glitter -- but you’re just another person, oh god, and you were not made for this

falling too far down the rabbit hole, seeking excitement and instead finding danger

thinking you’re invincible -- and realizing all too quickly that you’re not

thinking that the world is much kinder than it actually is

ties back into the overall theme of wishing you could turn back time, change what has already been done, regret and nostalgia (all i had i want it back)

favourite lyric: “i prick myself on glass 'cause it shines like glitter”

honourable mention to “where is the rest of me? in a paper boat lost at sea?”

solid 7.8/10

Aluminum

hmmm this one’s a hard one

absolutely adore it, the vibe and the vocals are just 😩

im sure there’s an amazing theme hidden in here somewhere

can’t really relate to this one as much as the others, probably why i’m missing it

the bridge hits hard though, wishing you were more than you are, wishing for adventure and stories to tell, feeling like you’re wasting your potential

im getting all wrAPPED UP in aluminum 

favourite lyric: “i've got bags in my eyes filled with dreams i let die”

another fave lyric: “i wanna be a giant/i want a story to yell/make use of all this crying/make something outta myself”

immaculate, 8.7/10

Cry In The Mirror

ok so at first i definitely misinterpreted this one i think

i took it literally, she likes seeing herself cry, a take on narcissism? 

however now i think its more of a sarcastic “yeah, because i just love seeing myself cry in the mirror.”

because she talks about the doctor not believing her, saying shes just tired, its all in her head and she just needs to get out of bed and start being productive

favourite lyric: “if all of our time is made out of questions then why do we lie making up answers?”

overall its amazing, not one of my faves if im being honest but its still so good, 7/10

Tell Me Have You Been Dancing

deluding yourself into thinking that you’re on their mind as much as they’re on yours

the relationship, whether romantic or not, died a long time ago. but you’re still wondering and caring for them because you know them like you know yourself

being willing to make amends and put yourself back together, but not knowing if they will love you back. should you stop? should you let rest the pieces of what you were?

hopefulness, longing, resentment, beauty

favourite lyric: “your body's contagious, i wish it were mine

so beautiful, the instrumentals are absolutely succulent. 8.9/10

Liar

YES!! ROCK VIBES

absolutely love the “i exhausted ALLLL THE WORDS I KNOW”

i forget where they said it but this song is about having a crush on your friend and not knowing if they like you back

dropping hints and hoping, praying that they like you back

but you know they dont

do you see me as just a kid? which one of us is the oblivious one

sick of this game, you are not the only thing that can make me happy and im sick of pretending that you are

amazing, everything about this song is just amazing. love the message, love the vibe, love the OUTRO

favourite lyric: “and i am quiet because i am scared of what i want/and i am tired of thinking it’s you and nothing else”

9/10

cw // a little bit of gore and death

oh you think that’s it? nah, it gets worse-

i remember when i was about 11 years old, i saw jonghyun in my dream and everything seemed happy at first.

but then, i saw key with a knife and was chasing him to STAB him. i literally heard kibum saying “you ruined my life” and “i hate you” to him as he finally manages to catch him and tie him up with a skipping rope.

he had a knife to his ear and said “you better repay me or you’re dead” then suddenly taemin tried to save him but failed as he was constantly sliced into pieces.

also yes, there was a lot of gore- but i’m not going to describe it for obvious reasons

jonghyun was there screaming for help whilst taemin tried to get up from the floor and take the knife off kibun and then ACCIDENTALLY killed jonghyun 😩

but it gets even worse-

once jonghyun was just about to die, he literally started by eating his leg until he couldn’t scream anymore. (also he was upside down so-)

the rest was quite gory since i would see shinee literally eating jonghyun until he was down to the bones like he was a piece of chicken and when i woke up, i started crying to my mother and she had to calm me down and put me back to sleep.

here’s a wholesome dream i had!

one time, i saw jinki running towards a farm nude and he picked up a chicken so he could- put some “homemade filling” inside of it and whilst he was doing that, all the chicken grew bigger until they were big enough to kill him by pecking him to death.

that’s probably the most normal dream i could get… i don’t remember any normal dreams i got-

some of my dreams may involve the r word and i honestly don’t want to get into that too much for obvious reasons but i’ll say “jonghyun” so you can put two and two together. also that was when i was about 12/13 when i had been getting flashbacks…

also i get beaten up in my dreams so- fun! very fun!

oh yeah my sister told me last night that she dreamt about seeing jonghyun and jinki doing the nasty when suddenly they got killed by a gun.

then taemin came in and literally said “omg toys! thanks hyung!” before playing their dead naked bodies as toys.

she woke up confused, but not surprised - just like how i would be. we’re literally the same, even my cousins is like that.

you know that cousin that got me into shinee? the one that is about the same age as you? she has the same problem as me where she gets weird dreams that makes no sense that you would wake up all confused.

they were so weird that one time we both had the same dream as each other one time. and boy- i’m not gonna tell you what happened because it is BRUTAL…

so yeah… defo runs in the family.

Oh my gosh, I didn't expect it to get worse. I am sending you so much love and light so you and your family can have nice sweet easy going dreams. Maybe sleep with crystal quartz or selenite to clear the energy and obsidian for protection or even rose quartz for extra love. If you believe in crystals. I always have crystals around me. I very rarely have scary dreams except one a frat guy was chasing my best friend and I down the street with a chain saw after I saved her from some sort of gross fraternity thing. Or I have in dream sleep paralysis where I'm asleep in a dream and get that sleep paralysis effect one dream I woke up so scared and I went down stairs and Grayson Dolan cuddled with me on the couch and we ate ice cream. I use to dream about the Dolan Twins a lot. I really send you nothing but good vibes so you can have super happy dreams. Also Onew is naked a lot in your dreams. That fascinates me. Once one by one NCT 127 took their penis's out in the door way to a living room. That's it then they left. But naked Onew three times is so interesting. Your dream Onew doesn't like clothes

I AM TEAM DEVI AND PAXTON UNTIL I DIE THE WAY SHE SAID HE GOT HER THROUGH HER DADS DEATH? AND SHES THE REASON HE GOT INTO COLLEGE? HELLO?!

NO LITERALLY OH MY GOD

But ok honestly i like that she ended up back with Ben, like i feel like Ben was rlly the one for her the entire team even if its bc of my enemies to lovers brain rot.

Paxton and Ben were both douchebags and both had their shitty moments w Devi but i definitely love how Devi and Paxton ended up friends and he isnt rlly the one that got away, he was the definition of ‘she fell first but he fell harder’ and they come full circle with helping eachother do sm more. Like that was his first genuine relationship and Devi made Paxton into a better person and vice versa, i think Paxton taught Devi how to genuinely love herself because he had to be real w her, and i love how she said he helped her get through her dad’s death bc he was a dream come true, but in all reality they both needed eachother and grew up sm. I wanted them to end up together but i think w his graduation speech and then their moment post graduation it really solidified that theyre both on two different paths but the entire reason they got there is bc of each other.

But BEN???? The full circle rivals to lovers to exes to friends? Please the way he went from calling her david to piss her off to saying it so endearingly??? And the drama night?? HOW BAD HE WANTED TO KISS HER???? He was PINING THIS WHOLE SEASON OKAY, and im also glad Aneesa dumped him and got the chance to realize her own worth!!!!!!!! Plus the way that Fab helped Ben realize hes a douchebag!!! And the way that Devi and Paxton basically solidified thay Ben was doing too much and trying too hard!! PLEASE THE PAXTON AND BEN BONDING MOMENTS THIS SEASON????????? Ben grew up sm this season and he was so DOWN HORRENDOUS FOR DEVI, the way he told her the open truth without any type of negative emotion all season??? His need to always help her and trying to act as if Devi roped him in but in all reality he’s down bad??? the one free boink joke turning into a reality???? PLEASE WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD MISS HER, AND WHEN SHE GOT BUTTERFLIES FROM TALKING TO HIM??? I loved it so much. Honestly truly been rooting for ben and devi since season one even tho i hated his guts for doing my girl dirty but thats the point of enemies to lovers 😩😩😩😩. If theres a fourth season i desperately need them to be together and happy and still rivals and have normal couple ups and downs but still come together! PLUS WE KNOW HER MOM LIKES BEN!!!!!!!!
