#which ALSO inspires me 👁👄👁

[bbyobbyo]

You don’t usually wake up at the same time as Jihoon, but he definitely makes sure that you wake up with him everyday.

content: fluff, established relationship, idol!Jihoon x non-idol!reader, domesticity, spotify as a plot point lol

wc: 1.6k

note: inspired by this reddit post which i thought was 100% something jihoon would do especially now that i know he uses spotify lol. i feel like im the only one who finds it hardest to write for their bias, i get really in my head about whether or not im portraying him in the way I want to. i’ve never written idol!au either (bc i think it’s easy to overdo) which only adds to me overthinking ahhhh but hope that you guys enjoy this one !! as always feedback or comments are appreciated 🥰 I read all of them and they make me so happy hehe

[read pt.2 here!]

Jihoon swears there's something magical about waking up to a calm and quiet morning. The sun is barely just rising, blanketing the world in a soft twilight that cuts the dark blues of the waning night. And in his bed, he finds something equally as magical: your soundly sleeping figure next to him. The world is silent except for your steady breaths, and he has to take extra caution to not fall asleep again if just to enjoy the brief moments of tranquility like this during his otherwise busy life. Eventually he gets up to start his schedule for the day, taking one last look at your peaceful slumber in fondness before he closes the door behind him.

Make no mistake, Jihoon loves his job. Having 13 members in his group is fantastic, except when you realize that 13 people requiring styling and wardrobe before every public appearance takes a lot of time. His mornings may start early, but in reality most of his time is spent listening to music in salon chairs and dozing off in waiting rooms.

In fact, it was in the middle of getting his makeup done when he discovered that around 8:20 am every day, his Spotify (which he uses to listen to his daily Bruno Mars Mix playlist) stops playing on his phone and switches to… the speaker at home? He bought a new speaker a few days ago because the last one you had was on its last legs from years of use, but if it’s malfunctioning already then he might have to look into getting a new speaker sooner than he thought.

Upon closer observation, Jihoon also notices that the song has changed — it’s playing one of his songs, your favorite one actually. Immediately he realizes what happened. He contemplates shooting you a text to tell you to disconnect him and just sync your own Spotify account to the speaker, you’re home more often than him anyway. That thought quickly disappears, however, as he imagines you getting ready for work listening to the sound of his voice and genuinely enjoying the music that he pours his heart and soul into, he can’t bring himself to disturb you even for a moment. His eyes soften as he stares blankly at the Spotify home screen, headphones now deafeningly silent. Surely, Jihoon decides, he can live without his Bruno Mars Mix for just a while longer.

You sometimes wonder if your boyfriend is magic. Although a good morning text has been standard in your relationship since the beginning, it's starting to concern you how perfectly timed it is.

Normally, your morning routine is simple. Wake up. Get out of bed. Bump some tunes. Check your notifications. Brush teeth. Wash face. Get dressed. Pack bag. Leave the house.

You’re usually the one to text him good morning given your later wake up time, yet he’s been beating you to it lately. Yes, he knows you set your alarm 8:15 everyday because it's “the perfect amount of time you need to get ready and still make it to work on the dot”. But that doesn't explain why “rise n shine babe :))” pops up on your phone as you brush your teeth on the days you wake up early, too.

[8:06 am] you have to tell me how you do it

[8:06 am] Do what????

[8:07 am] im onto you mister 👁👄👁

[8:07 am] 👍👍👍

You spiral through the possible scenarios in your head: he has your location, but that wouldn’t tell him when you woke up right? Does your icon move around on the map? No, the location data isn’t that accurate. Maybe when you open your phone, your Facebook status shows that you’re online? No, you know for a fact that you both haven’t opened that app in years. Hmm, did he plant cameras everywhere in the apartment? Sure, you get the security utility of it but if he did it without telling you, there would be some SERIOUS things to talk about, maybe it really is all just guesswork and coincidence?

Sigh… you’ll get to the bottom of this eventually.

-

Jihoon doesn’t plan on telling you, but rather wants you to figure it out yourself. After all, he’s been dropping so many hints already. Your chill hangouts at his studio have a gentle hum of your favorite songs as background noise. He purposely asks you about the new albums of your favorite artists that, surprise, he’s already listened to. He even makes it a point to remind you that the speaker at home is hooked to his account every now and then.

Sometimes, he swears that you’ve figured it out and were just messing with him when you make little comments about your his song choices like “Really babe, you listen to your own songs this often? Are you sure you’re not a narcissist or something?” But besides these moments, there was no indication that you knew about his secret morning routine as you questioned him regularly about his tactics.

He has to admit, it was kind of amusing to see you growing increasingly suspicious of how on earth he figures out when you wake up, being particularly fond of the cute annoyed face you make when he tells you “No babe, I did not put an Air Tag in your pajamas, you barely sleep in clothes anyway.” Even your pout is adorable as you pretend to give him the silent treatment, knowing that you wouldn’t be able to keep it up for long. His little secret is safe for another day.

-

Jihoon has been working brutal hours lately. As deadlines for the upcoming albums drew near, his days start earlier than ever and end equally as late. However, the one thing he can always count on is coming home to you waiting for him.

It was the night of the new album release and you were more excited than usual, greeting him at the door like a lovesick puppy as soon as you heard the door handle turning. “Hi love, what are you doing up so late?” he pulls you into a quick kiss as he sets his stuff down.

“I wanted to wait to listen to the new album with you so you could see my reaction to it!” your eyes were beaming with enthusiasm. Jihoon’s heart swells at the sentiment, knowing that his partner supports him and his passions with such sincerity. You excitedly motion him to join you in your shared bedroom, full of anticipation to hear the fruits of your boyfriend’s labor for the past months. “Alright, you’re not allowed to be disappointed then” he jokes as he pulls out his phone, quickly finding the recently released album and making sure the volume is high enough before tapping the first track and handing it over to you.

Only a few seconds of the song passes before an idea flashes across your eyes. “Wait, let’s play it on the speaker!” you interrupt. You’re on your feet in seconds and before Jihoon could even reach over to press pause, you’ve already commanded your home speaker to play the track out loud. The music immediately ceases on his phone and switches over to the speaker.

Shit, he’s done for, he thinks to himself. He studies your face carefully for any indication that he’s been found out but surprisingly, your attention is laser focused on the melodies now reverberating around your apartment. You’re mostly quiet during the songs but the rhythmic nodding of your head and facial expressions are a tell all of how much you enjoy each track that plays, contorting in a myriad of impressed shapes as killing part after killing part reaches your ears.

As the album comes to an end you look like you’re about to burst at the seams. Your boyfriend can’t control his smile as compliments and detailed thoughts flow freely from your lips for the rest of the night, not ceasing even as the both of you walk through your unwinding routines together. God, you love comeback days. The elaborate music show stages that you will undoubtedly watch later that evening has already been pre-recorded, giving you precious time together in the morning before his schedule whisks him away from your arms once again.

As you get ready for bed, you drift off to sleep knowing that tomorrow, for the first time in what seems like forever, you can finally tell him good morning in person before he can.

-

Your alarm rings at 8:15 am. Jihoon doesn’t need to be up this early, but he would do anything in order to be the first thing you see when you wake. You roll around in his embrace and press a kiss to his cheek. “Good morning” you both whisper to each other at the same time, sending you both into a fit of giggles as you argue who said it first.

Jihoon watches in adoration from the bed as you so naturally go through your morning routine, one that he misses out on more often than he would like. Today, you forgo your usual morning songs as you queue up your personal favorites off the new album, much to his delight. He tries his best to burn this scene into his memory as you gather your things and prepare to head out, giving him one last kiss. You’re about to unlock the door when you pause in your tracks.

“Baby?”

“Hmm?” he hums back from the bedroom.

“Enjoy the speaker, I can’t kick you off today.” you say with a smirk on your face as you exit the apartment, leaving Jihoon speechless.

Now when the GTN case is closed, can you please write about how much you hate tj klune? 👁👄👁 My reason is that this author just is not talented enough to write good prose, but I want to read what you think about it!

IM SO GLAD U ASKED (and the other like 50 people in my inbox haters unite)

so the first tjk books i read was his green creek series which are very different from his more recent books and honestly way better. now are they good ? no! but they are better and are like mostly tolerable. they were kinda annoying to read, the main reason that first book is like 800 pages is bc th paragraphs are like one three word sentence long, but i might try the audiobook at some point. also the age gap in that first book is like . ...... . . .. a little questionable but we move on

th next book of his i read was house on the cerulean sea which was fine at first but good lord. i think i checked about 3 times reading this if this book was suppose to be YA or even middle grade - that is the level of moral complexity that is in this book - the message of 'oh people are different and thats okay' is forced down your throat soooo many times like girl i GET ITTTTTTTT!!!!!!! i liked the idea - a lot of tjk's books sound rlly good which is what lures me in, but the execution is just dare i say cringe. also i dont know how many of u are aware but tjk himself said that what inspired this book was in fact RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS???????? HI HELLO??? MAYBE DONT DO THAT!!!!!!

people do not talk how they do in tjk books. its like he writes dialogue and narration specifically for it to be quotes, its all very superficial and just not immersive at all. do not get me STARTEDD on ' on the lives of puppets' . absolutely zero creative thoughts in regards to the world building. tell me why at the beginning of the book we meet a ROBOT who is buried in stuff and the mc immediately is like oh its male :) when all he could hear was th robots voice. girl its a ROBOTTTTTTTTTT RRIRYYGYGAWWWYGYGYRGYGW

i cannot believe people could read that book and think its good and deep. his writing has all the emotional complexity and depth of a marvel movie .

its interesting to me how he did show he could write a more mature and emotional story w the green creek books, and then just completely walked away from that style to write repetitive and superficial stories. loser

tldr: tjk's writing is immature and superficial and repetitive, and only legitimately enjoyable to people who don't have enough variety in their reading life to know a bad book when they read it. and i think hes lame

episode of savanaclaw chapter 1: the importance of visuals in conveying character

ADDEDUM: Sorry if you experience weird formatting and/or see repeated paragraphs when viewing this post; for whatever reason, Tumblr gave me a really hard time editing, formatting, and saving this OTL It looks totally normal on my end, but I’ve heard from some people the post looks wonky to them 💦 I’m not sure how to fix it…

The turtlesoupscans team has the first chapter out! ^^ (This is also the scanlation from which I borrow the images used in this post!)

Something I noticed when taking a closer look at the Episode of Savanaclaw is that the new mangaka is really good at drawing eyelashes 👁 👄 👁 There were so many times when I actually made a full stop while reading to admire the eyes and the lashes on like. EVERYONE especially on L*ona. I really enjoy that aspect of the new artwork! (I don’t know if this is just me, but Leona’s tail and hair also seem much longer in the manga adaptation than in the game…?)

… OKAY I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS NOW

I mentioned before that the manga has the advantage of using visual storytelling to help convey character in a way that the game can’t. I previously explored this concept as it applies to Cater’s general character in the Episode of Heartslabyul. But but but— (and I cannot stress this enough 😳) just from the first chapter alone, I think that the manga’s visual storytelling is going a long way to enhance episode 2.

So like in the game (2-6), there is a dorm leaders meeting in which they discuss the upcoming Magical Shift/Spelldrive tournament. It is here where Crowley suggests inducting Malleus into the Hall of Fame in order to take him off the field and give the other dorms a chance to shine. Leona interrupts and gives a brief speech about how doing that is admitting defeat before the game has even begun. He uses the story of the King of Beasts to remind his fellow dorm leaders that it is cunning, not brute strength or magical ability, that allowed him to triumph. This inspires the other dorm leaders to disallow Malleus from entering the Hall of Fame, as they all want to do their best to try and outwit him.

Now, there's nothing wrong with this scene in the game. It serves its purpose just fine. However, because of the game being a visual novel style, the story is mainly told via dialogue and 2D character models. The manga is able to greatly expand on this scene because it is not constrained to just dialogue and a few animations. Case in point, this:

In the manga adaptation of this scene, Leona gives basically the same points, but the art is a lot more dynamic. For example, when he first hears Crowley’s proposal, we get these shots which show us Leona’s obvious displeasure. There’s the slight frown, the ominous shadow over his face, and even a close up of his fingers laced together (a pose which already implies he’s a schemer):

Compare this to the limitations of Leona’s in-game model; he looks so obviously and overtly angry, which doesn’t sell him as a calculating character as well. Meanwhile, in the manga, you can still tell just how much the idea Crowley suggested has pissed Leona off, but the feelings come across on his face in a much more subtle way.

Then when manga!Leona begins his appeal proper, he physically STANDS UP from his seat at the table. This draws the other pairs of eyes in the room to him; you can see in the next panel that everyone, including Crowley, is looking at Leona. He commands the attention in the room.

Another small detail here is that manga!Leona slams a hand down on the table; previously, they were folded together. Without saying a word, you understand what this conveys: that, in addition to his intelligence, he also has power and influence in this situation, and he knows exactly how and when to use those boons to his advantage.

Actually, manga!Leona does a lot of small yet noteworthy things with his hands. Take, for instance, these next panels.

When bringing up the importance of using one’s brain, manga!Leona actually taps his head. In the game, Leona is limited to his general sprite where he lays a hand against his temple. This is the closest approximation to what the game can do to simulate that tap tap of the head, but it doesn’t really carry the full weight of the motion, especially not when paired with Leona’s annoyed in-game expression.

But then look at manga!Leona, who looks so smug and self-assured as he does the gesture. It really speaks to his own confidence—and, more importantly, we’re getting a more accurate image of what the other dorm leaders and Crowley are seeing. They’re witnessing Leona at the height of his strength, someone who uses his words to persuade and to inspire the downtrodden masses into following his lead and to make better lives for themselves. Leona now curls his hand into a fist—so now we’ve gone from the cunning laced fingers to the powerful slam of a hand on a table to a clenched fist, which, in this context, is meant to be encouraging and victorious.

Note that this is all a parallel to Leona’s Disney counterpart, Scar, who made promised the shunned hyenas a place in society. Said parallel is made even more apparent in the following page; manga!Leona literally raises his fist up, and there, right in the background, is the statue of Scar himself, haloed by sunlight, and clouds parted for him. Scar—and, by extension, Leona—appear almost “God-like” because of this deliberate composition.

At this point, Leona speaks about the King of Beasts’ great accomplishment: obtaining the crown through perseverance and wit, in spite of the odds being stacked against him. Look at how this page is framed; it’s nothing BUT Leona. He’s dominating not only the page itself, but also the discussion surrounding Malleus’s induction to the Hall of Fame. He is winning his audience over.

Again, the same lines play out in the game, but the impact just isn’t there. We just have a lot of Leona crossing his arms while looking mad and Leona with his hands on his hips. At best, he looks neutral or slightly bored by what he’s saying. At worst, maybe too angry or even pouting about the situation. It definitely doesn’t feel nearly as inspirational as him standing and raising a fist as he extols the values of the King of Beasts.

(Side note: why is Leona built like a god damn DORITO 🤡 Why’s his waist so TINY???? What is the purpose of that………………….. ….. …. . .:: … . … . . … . . .. . . this is not me simping THIS IS NOT I swear it’s not)

This next page characterizes Malleus more than it does Leona; Malleus is small here, shown with his back turned away, turning to “glance over his shoulder” at the others. This comes off as isolating, putting distance between himself, who is on such a high level, and his peers. It matches Leona’s dialogue, implying that Malleus truly is a “monster” out of their league, and they must find a clever solution to take that “monster” down.

Leona’s profile now shows slight signs of irritation right as he’s delivering the conclusion to his speech and thesis. His eyebrows are arched, he’s frowning, and he’s slightly looking down at the people he’s addressing. The tension here is palpable; you can feel the force behind his words, how strong his final statement is. It is the responsibility of everyone present at this table to find a way to defeat Malleus, not kneel over and accept defeat.

And the crazy thing is???? You can SEE in the faces of every single dorm leader how Leona’s words have affected them. You don’t need anyone to say a single word to understand what’s going through their heads. They’ve all been charmed. Look at how wide-eyed Kalim is, how Vil has his eyes narrowed (like he has realized something), Riddle is staring DIRECTLY at Leona (implied by an earlier page), and fuck Idia; the tablet’s screen tells us nothing Azul smiles knowingly.

We automatically know what the outcome is, and we know which way they will vote. This is conveyed so well, so clearly, that the manga doesn’t even bother to give us dialogue from the other dorm leaders opposing Crowley’s suggestion. The manga just immediately cuts away to a mob student being injured. (This is different than in the game, which had to show Vil, Riddle, Kalim, Idia, and Azul verbally agreeing with Leona to get the same message across.)

Anyway??? I had to get all of that out of my system 🤡 I just. Can’t get over???? How good the visual storytelling is for the manga adaptation??????

Entire lines from the original script could be scrubbed out and we still understand what is being said without them. So much character oozes off the page in the dynamic camera and composition. Scenes that I paid zero mind to in the game are sooo much more interesting when told through the manga, my eyes are glued onto the pages.

There’s so much nuance in the gorgeous artwork and the story that it’s trying to tell, and I think that’s a real testament to how talented the mangaka and the team behind Twisted Wonderland (the manga adaptation) are!! I’m by no means a fan of episode 2 of the main story, but 👀 the manga has definitely done a great job making Leona’s introduction to the audience memorable, and he feels like a much more charismatic and threatening “villain” for this episode because of that.

The Lorax is technically from Disney, which means that technically Community!Yuu can sing Biggering :D

I feel like even Yuu knows that the song has ✨villain villain✨vibes, so they would sing it when they think they're in private. In truth they left the door open and now a lot of students are either running away or crowding the door bearing gifts for the great one.

"There is a principle of nature, that most every creature knows. It's called survival of the fittest, and this is how it goes~" And since the song itself wasn't even released in the movie, it could classify as a top level not-even-the-country-it-belongs-to-sings-it kind of banned.

And at the last parts of the song from "I must keep biggering" to "This is all so gratifying~!" I kinda picture Yuu's eyes sorta glowing, and maybe a harsh spin towards the door when they say "I don't wanna hear yuu you crying" harshly throwing their arm to the side in a 'no' motion

A lot of people joined the cult that day, because whY IN THE FRESH HELL DOES THE PREFECT KNOW A SONG THAT ISN'T EVEN SUNG BY THE COUNTRY'S ROYALS

The Lorax is wuh 👁👄👁- yk what it makes sense if something isn't Dreamworks or Laika it's Disney.

Biggering being an unknown lost lyricis either fuelling the flames of Yuu being a god older than the Great Seven (cause Snow White is technically the oldest Disney animated film) and creator of the universe OR assume Yuu's dangerous af and trying to prevent Yuu from going down a dark path.

Masterlist

Yuu was a part of the clean-up crew during VDC so while the others practiced they were mindlessly sweeping a small corner of the stage.

Bored and really not aware of their surroundings, Yuu started to reminisced of their life back on Earth; back before they were mysteriously stranded in an entirely new world.

Recalling a movie they watched with their friends Yuu started to sing the removed song from the movie due to it beng too dark for the film.

At first I didn't realize~

I needed all this stuff~

I had a little cottage~

And that cottage was enough~

Lightly twirling in place, Yuu grinned as they danced with their broom, unaware of the eerie silence which descended upon the area as horrified eyes stared at the Ramshackle prefect in the corner.

A place where I could sit and knit~

A place where I could sell my Thneeds~

But now I've had a little time~

To re-assess my needs-

Yuu startled at the hand harshly slapped across his mouth, fuming the prefect turned around to scold whoever interrupted them so rudely when they paused.

Vil-senpai was glaring at them, his pale complexion paling even further and his eyes vacant of any emotion but fear as he bored holes into Yuu's face. His hands were unusually clammy, trembling ever so slightly which only Yuu could see from their closed distance.

"Prefect." His voice wavered ever so slightly, a giant sign of wrongness that put Yuu on alert for what could possibly terrify their usually composed and confident senpai, "Where did you hear that song?"

Yuu gently took off Vil's hand from their mouth, watching the hand fall back to Vil's side before slowly, quietly answering, "An old song from my world. Vil-senpai what's wrong-"

"Never." Vil rasped out, violently grabbing Yuu by the shoulder and shaking them. "Never. Ever. Sing that song again, do you hear me?!"

"Please, little potato, promise me." His hands were still trembling, Yuu nodded.

Yuu would later learn of the forbidden lost lyrics so dangerous that people willingly erase their memories of the songs. Lyrics that kill, lyrics that made monsters, lyrics like what they sang capable of overblotting people just by singing or hearing them.

But that was later, as Yuu comforted their shaking senior on the verge of a breakdown right now and assured everyone they weren't planning on world domination.

Yuu: *sings almost forgotten government secret song inspiring villianous misdeeds*

Vil: *panic attack*

Also everyone: holy shit they're older than dirt + mindfuck for the other, other list who figured out they're an embryo compared to God?!Yuu

So I’m kind of mad because I’m a new BTS fan (I rather not identify as Army cos I just don’t think I fit that mentality) and I’m beginning to feel like I missed their best years?? Not only music-wise but personality-wise as well. Does anyone else feel this way? I look at Vlives and interviews from the past and yes they were probably heavily monitored even then but there was also some degree of spontaneity and their individual personalities really shone through. Now I feel like it’s the same repetitive lines from a script every time they are interviewed and even their behavior in vlives (whenever they could be bothered to do one) seems faker and more robotic. Sometimes they manage to show sparks of their old selves but very rarely nowadays. The only person who still comes across as genuine to me in his interactions with fans is jungkook on his intagram stories, and I bet they’re going to stop those too soon enough. Taehyung also tries, bIess his heart, but there still seems to be something lacking. Jimin is my bias but even I can admit that all we see from him of late (the rare times we even see him) is a carefully crafted idol persona. Even when they claim to be “acting so natural! Wow army we’re not acting like celebrities at all!!” It comes across planned and scripted. I feel so sad and robbed. Maybe it’s the price of their increased popularity and scrutiny, maybe it’s unfair of me to want more, but it honestly sucks. Makes it even worse that they seem to be completely out of inspiration (except when making music for other ppl. I see you Suga) and are focused mostly on charting and awards as opposed to art.And they will likely never know how short they are selling themselves because Army will literally empty their bank accounts for a turd with the BTS logo stamped on it. Hybe will never change their strategy if they keep getting validated financially, the boys will never consider re-evaluating or improving their art if ARMY pukes glitter and rainbows at everything they put out regardless of how bad. I have a tiny glimmer of hope because I have seen more fans openly expressing their dissatisfaction about this upcoming comeback than I ever did before, so maybe there will be just enough of a dip in the sales to cause HYBE to step up their game. A more rational part of me knows however that the sales are going to be through the roof and things are only going to get worse for BTS artistically.

Hi Anon,

I can relate to how you're feeling. When I started paying attention to them, there was this brief period where things felt really buzzy and exciting. The Vlives were spontaneous and funny, their fashion was A+ and Dynamite was this one off that no one expected would become their dominant style. When BE came out, even tho I didn't like the music (except maybe Stay which idk is still kind ehn), the entire thing of it felt like a step in the right direction. I looked back at the editorial shoots that Tae organized the other day, and they are really good. Probably the last time they looked that good. 👁👄👁

BH doesn't seem to be a place where individuality creativity and personality is allowed to flourish, warts and all. I add in that last bit because at some other kpop labels, we see a lot more imperfection and individuality. People trying things and reflecting on it, success or failure. You also see more genuine interactions between artists. Men working with women, people having disagreements or arguments then resolving them. People trolling one another, lol. With BH brands, because I do sense this with TXT too, unfortunately, things feel neutered to a degree. Though watching TXT be bratty en masse is rather something LOL. The company culture is different at BH/Hybe, and it does feel like even BTS are still tip-toeing. They're in their 9th year now. In SHINee's 7th year (I hope I'm mathing right, lol), they signed a contract that gave them huge freedom and last approval above the board. Jonghyun and the others had been writing songs for a while, but with ODD etc, things became that much more artistic and "shinee". For whatever reason, I still don't see this happening with BTS. Instead, things are becoming well... whatever Butter, PTD and collabs are. Top 40 Billboard pop.

A/N: Episode 8.15 (Man’s Best Friend With Benefits) inspired this literally like 8-ish months ago? And it’s just been sitting in my WIPs folder for that long. So I went ahead and finished it and I’m literally sweating. WHY IS MY BRAIN LIKE THIS? SHE IS SO DEPRAVED.

SUPERNATURAL MASTERLIST | MAIN MASTERLIST

You were filled with rage as you followed the brothers into the motel room that the three of you were sharing.

“WHAT THE HELL?” You yelled, as you closed the door behind you. “The two of you have to stop treating me like a child!” The hunt that you all had just gotten back from was a successful one, no thanks to you. Sam and Dean were having a hard time letting you lead the way when it came to hunting, and this was technically your hunt. You found the case, you read the lore, you even paid for the motel room.

“Hey, we saved your ass,” Dean said nonchalantly, ignoring your tantrum completely. Sam was doing the same as he began packing up his duffle bag.

“I was fine! I would have seen him!” You said, in reference to the vamp that would have probably turned you had Dean not beheaded him first. You knew they saved your ass; you were just mad that they were even there to save it. Per your plan, they were supposed to raid the inside of the nest while you took care of the outside. Dean saving your ass meant that, as usual, the two of them totally ignored your plans. They had absolutely no respect for you as a hunter, and it was making your blood boil. You took a deep breath and began making your way towards Dean, who was now standing next to Sam, both of them smiling cockily as you stormed over to them. You jabbed your finger into Dean’s chest, your face inches away from his. “You listen here, Dean. I know you saved my life, okay? I am grateful for it. But I am so sick and tired of you – and you,” you said, pointing to Sam, before jabbing your finger back into Dean’s chest, “ignoring my plans. The two of you never listen to me and I swear to God, if either of you do it again, it will not end well for you,” you finished sternly. You looked at Dean for a response, only to see an expression on his face that was hard to describe. “What?” You spat.

“That was incredibly hot,” Dean mumbled. You rolled your eyes and looked at Sam, who tended to be the more serious one in these situations.

“It was pretty hot,” he shrugged.

“You two are fucking impossible,” you huffed, crossing your arms over your chest in disbelief. They still weren’t taking you seriously.

“Hey, watch your attitude,” Dean warned, giving you a look.

“And if I don’t? What are you gonna do about it?” You retorted. You would usually never talk back to Dean like this; you’d be over his knee in a heartbeat had the two of you been alone. The two of you weren’t exclusive; you just helped one another scratch those itches on occasion. Okay, maybe it was more like three to four times a week. Better than risking an STD with some random stranger at a bar, right? Plus, Dean knew what you liked. He knew how to please you, and you trusted him to dominate you – which was something he loved to do. However, he’d never done it in front of Sam, which is why you weren’t concerned with Dean’s warning. It’s not like he was going to pull you over his knee in front of his brother. Not that Sam didn’t know about the arrangement that the two of you had.

“Y/N,” Dean warned again.

“No, both of you can fuck all the way off,” you spat.

“HEY!” Sam bellowed, catching you off guard. You took a few steps back as you watched the giant come towards you, a look in his normally kind eyes that you had never seen before. It wasn’t anger it was… it was the same look that Dean got when you had pushed him a little too far. “Listen to me,” Sam hissed, as he stopped inches in front of you, bending down a little to get on your eye-level. You gulped. You had always thought Sam was attractive – that was undeniable. You weren’t sure what was in the Winchester genes, but God damn – it wasn’t fair. You had never thought about sex with Sam, though. You were always so preoccupied with the older Winchester; you didn’t really have time or reason to think of the younger one in that way. However, with the air of dominance he was giving off… only inches away from your face… yeah, you were definitely thinking about sex with Sam. “You better lose the fucking attitude, Y/N, or I swear to God I’ll pull you over my knee if he doesn’t,” Sam growled, pointing to his brother who was watching with a smirk on his face. Your clit pulsed at the thought of both of them dominating you.

“Oh, will you, now?” You asked, both sass and intrigue in your tone. You fully intended on pushing him as far as you could.

“I’d tread carefully, Y/N. He’s a lot less forgiving than me,” Dean said, amusement lining his voice. He knew you’d ignore him. He knew you’d continue pushing. You turned to look at Dean.

“Shut up,” you snapped, Dean’s eyebrows raising in response. You were in for it now.

“Yeah, you’re done. Come here. Now,” Dean ordered, pointing to the ground in front of him. You rolled your eyes – another thing that you were sure you’d regret doing later, but right now you were having too much fun – and pushed your way past the taller Winchester to come to stand in front of the shorter one. Dean looked at Sam over your shoulder and nodded slightly, as if he was giving him permission to do something, which you were sure you’d find out about shortly. Dean turned his attention back to you, lust and dominance in his eyes. You could feel the heat in your core begin to rise just with that one look. Dean huffed as he pushed you down to your knees and a smile spread across your face. You had no idea what to expect, but you were excited. “Take my belt off and bring it to Sam,” Dean commanded. You obeyed, beginning to regret being such a brat. You’d been spanked by Dean plenty, and sure, you didn’t mind it. You loved it, actually. But Dean knew your limits. He knew how hard or soft to hit, he knew what spots hurt more than others – Sam didn’t. And if Sam was going to be the one punishing you – with a belt – you only hoped that he didn’t hit as hard as it looked like he could hit. You took Dean’s belt off and stood up, walking over to Sam, who was now sitting on the edge bed. You placed the leather in his outstretched palm and he patted his knee, signaling you to bend over it. You did as you were told, feeling your pussy begin to clench around nothing.

“You know,” Sam began, rubbing your denim-clad ass with his large hand, “Dean and I saved your ass, right? And being a brat isn’t really the best way to go about thanking us, wouldn’t you agree?” Sam asked, getting Dean’s belt ready.

“Yes,” you replied, the smile was audible in your voice. Dean suddenly appeared in front of you, his nose almost touching yours as he grabbed under your chin with his hand, his fingernails digging crescent moons into your cheeks.

“You address him the same way you address me, do you understand?” Dean growled.

“Yes, sir,” you gulped. You wiped the smile off your face but the excitement within you only grew. You were both terrified and looking forward to what was about to happen to you.

“How many do you think she needs, Dean?” Sam asked, now dragging the leather along your backside. At least you were still wearing jeans – not that they’d last very long. Dean let go of your face and stood up straight, leaving your field of vision.

“I’d start with 20 at this point, and if it still seems like she needs more then we can add on from there. How does that sound?” Dean asked you. You nodded in response, your mind reeling with the thought of 20 swats with the damn belt. You shouldn’t have been such a brat. You felt the brothers look at each other and shake their heads before you realized that you had forgot to respond verbally. You looked behind you and watched as Dean pulled your jeans and panties off in one swift motion. Sam noticed you watching and grabbed your head, forcing you to look down at the floor.

“Speak when spoken to. Make it 30, Sammy. Does that sound fair?” Dean asked.

“Yes, sir,” you replied. You could feel your juices leaking out of you as you waited anxiously for the first hit. You winced at the sting that the leather strap left on your bare ass. You knew Sam was only warming up; he wasn’t hitting as hard as you felt like he could. Dean came back around into your field of vision again as Sam delivered another spank to your ass. Dean grabbed your chin and made you look up at him, being that his crotch was what was at your eye-level at this position.

“Take them off,” Dean commanded, motioning to his jeans. You quickly obeyed, Dean’s cock springing up as soon as you had let his jeans fall to his ankles. You smiled devilishly as you wrapped your hand around the base. You loved Dean’s cock. It was your favorite part of him; and he knew how to use it so well. You clenched your legs together as Sam gave you another lick with the belt. “Open,” Dean ordered, softly smacking your face. You smiled and let go of his dick, opening wide for Dean to shove his cock in your mouth, almost hitting the back of your throat. Sam gave you another smack with the belt, much harder than the last however many you had received, and you lurched forward taking all of Dean in your mouth. You suppressed a gag as Dean wrapped a hand in your hair, holding you down on his cock. This gave you time to feel how on fire your ass actually was; you had no idea how many swats Sam had delivered but you weren’t sure how many more you could take. “What are we at Sammy?” Dean asked his brother casually, as if his cock wasn’t buried deep in your throat.

“Twenty,” Sam replied. Ten more. You could take ten more.

“Count the last ten,” Dean commanded. He hadn’t moved, he was just holding you there, down on his cock, letting you taste him, and you were sure that your juices were running down your thighs at this point. Sam spanked you again, and you let out a “one” to the best of your ability. Dean didn’t loosen his grip on your head one bit. After the eighth hit, you had tears welling up in your eyes, partly from the spanking and partly from the fact that it was hard to breath with Dean’s entire cock in your mouth and you had to keep suppressing a gag. Another hit came down and you mumbled a “nine”, followed by another as you felt a tear run down your cheek and managed to get out a “ten”. “Good girl,” Dean praised. He finally began to move in and out of your mouth slowly, and you felt Sam put the belt on the bed and start to rub your sore ass. Sam spread your cheeks, leaning over to look in between your soaked folds.

“She’s so wet, Dean,” Sam smiled, sliding a finger in between your folds. You looked up at Dean as his cock continued to slide in and out of your mouth, pleading him with your eyes to do something about your wetness. Dean just smirked.

“Oh, you liked that, huh?” Dean asked, continuing to slowly thrust in and out of your mouth. You tried to manage a “yes sir”, but Dean wasn’t stopping so it came out muffled. You lunged forward as Sam stuck a finger in you, taking all of Dean again. Fuck, it felt good. Dean and Sam both pumped in and out of you at opposite times, making it so that one of your holes was always filled, but never both. Sam added another finger and you moaned, only for it to be muffled by Deans cock hitting the back of your throat. Suddenly, Sam slid out from under you, forcing you to get on your knees if you wanted to keep Deans cock in your mouth, which you did. “Already, Sammy?” Dean asked his brother, as if everything was normal and you weren’t even in the room.

“Hey, you get to fuck her all the time. It’s been months for me, man. I mean, look at her,” Sam said, taking off his jeans and boxers. Dean looked down at you as you continued to suck him off, pulling you off of his cock by your hair and coming down to his knees on the floor in front of you. Dean pushed you down on all fours and placed his cock right back in your mouth. Your cunt was now fully exposed to Sam, who you could feel get on his knees behind you.

“I’m finishing with her pussy if you’re getting a turn at it first,” Dean remarked.

“Fine,” Sam replied as he rubbed your clit with his fingers, causing you to moan.

“Ah, fuck, keep making her moan,” Dean said, throwing his head back. The sound of them having a conversation without even acknowledging you between them made your pussy clench. It was by far the hottest thing you’ve ever experienced – being their little fuck toy. Dean moved his hands to your back, pulling your shirt up so he could unhook your bra and make it easier for him to reach your nipples, which he then attended to by pinching and rubbing them lightly. You moaned again, muffled from Dean’s cock still in your mouth, and as you did so, Sam teased your entrance, which made you gasp around Dean’s dick. “Fuck, that’s so hot,” Dean said, acknowledging you for the first time in a while, earning a shiver from you. Sam finally entered you, forcing you to gag on Dean’s cock in the process.

“Fuck, you’re so tight, Y/N. Is my brother fucking you hard enough?” Sam teased, earning a glare from Dean as he continued to pound into you. You muffled a “yes sir” with Dean’s cock still in your mouth.

“You love when your mouth is full of cock, don’t you?” Dean asked, finally giving you a break from sucking as he pulled his member from your mouth and grabbed a fistful of your hair, tapping his cock on your cheek, rubbing your spit around. Sam continued to thrust into you mercilessly, making it hard for you to reply, but you did.

“Yes, sir,” you replied with a devious smile – you weren’t lying. You did love it.

“Alright, my turn,” Dean said to his brother, as he pulled your hair back forcing you to look up at him, “He’s loosened you up for me, so you better show him how thankful you are while he’s over here, got it? And then maybe we’ll let you come tonight,” he said sternly, his face close to yours.

“Yes, sir,” you smiled, ready to show Sam what your mouth could do. The boys switch positions and Dean wasted no time ramming into you, earning a yelp from your lips. Sam smirked and grabbed your chin, bringing your face closer to his cock, which was roughly the same size as Dean’s, but a little bit longer. You opened your mouth for him, wanting nothing more than to taste his dick covered in your juices. You let Sam fuck your mouth, hitting the back of your throat every time, saliva spilling out of the corners of your lips. You had never experienced anything like what you were experiencing now. Dean and Sam filling you at the same time was so fucking sexy, you could have came from the thought of it alone. Sam pulled his cock out of your mouth with a pop, lightly slapping your face with it.

“Hey, Dean,” Sam began, although his eyes were on you, “You think she’d be able to handle both of us?” Your eyes grew wide at the thought of both of your holes being filled and you felt your pussy contract around Dean’s cock with excitement.

“What do you think, sweetheart?” Dean asked, “You wanna take both of us in these pretty little holes?” You nodded enthusiastically, smiling up at Sam who was smirking down at you. “Get the lube,” Dean said to his brother, and Sam nodded as he got up from his knees to go look through Dean’s backpack for the liquid. Dean pulled out of you and you whimpered at the emptiness. “Strip the rest of your clothes and get on the bed,” Dean commanded, with a firm smack to one of your sore cheeks. You winced at the pain but you listened, discarding your remaining clothes – your t-shirt and unhooked bra – and laying on the bed on your side. Sam came back with lube in hand and the brothers laid on either side of you, Dean facing you and Sam behind you. Dean watched himself guide his cock back into your pussy as he slightly lifted one of your legs for better access, forcing a moan from you. He silenced you with his lips, his tongue entering your mouth. You felt Sam behind you rubbing lube around your hole, and you couldn’t wait for both of them to be inside you again. Sam finally lined his cock up with your back entrance, teasing you with the tip of it.

“Beg for it,” Sam whispered into your ear. You could have came right then. You felt the coil in your abdomen tighten, and Sam wasn’t even inside you yet.

“Please, please fuck me! Please, sir!” You begged, hoping that it would suffice. Sam slowly pushed himself into you, eventually finding the alternating rhythm that Dean was in. You felt as though you were floating on air; you were certain that nothing had ever felt this good in your life. You moaned loudly only to be silenced by Dean sticking two of his fingers in your mouth and demanding you to suck. You obeyed, scared to make either of them upset with you; you didn’t want them to ever stop. Sam reached around from behind you and began pinching and rubbing your erect nipples. You were going to cum soon and Dean must have felt your pussy clench and figured out that you were on the edge.

“Don’t you dare fuckin’ cum before we do. And don’t you dare do it without asking,” Dean said sternly, looking you right in the eyes. You nodded and continued to suck on Dean’s fingers, wishing there was a third brother who could fill your mouth with another cock. You felt Sam and Dean’s thrusts becoming sloppier and sloppier, their grunting becoming breathier, and you knew they were both about to come undone. At the same time. Inside you. It took everything you had not to cum at the thought, and as your pussy tightened around Dean’s cock, it was enough to send him over the edge, Sam following shortly after. You felt their warm ropes of cum fill up both of your holes, and with a little help from Dean’s fingers on your clit and Sam’s continued nipple play, the coil inside you was about half a second away from snapping.

“May I please come, sir?” You mumbled through Dean’s fingers that were still in your mouth, glancing at both of them.

“What? Sorry, couldn’t understand you,” Dean smirked, taking his fingers out of your mouth.

“May I please come, sir!?” You repeated, much more desperate this time as you were already holding your orgasm off and the brothers had not stopped moving their fingers. Dean chuckled under his breath at your neediness.

“Go ahead, cum for us,” Dean ordered, but you were already coming before he could finish his sentence. “Go ahead” was all you had to hear. Your orgasm ripped through you as you shouted expletives and came around Dean’s cock, your muscles clenching around both of the cocks inside of you. Sam and Dean continued playing with you until you rode out your orgasm, heavy breaths coming from all three of you as they pulled out of you and laid beside you once you had finished. As you came down from your high, you winced at the pain that was starting to make itself known on your ass and you realized that it’d probably be a week or so before you’d be able to sit or walk properly again. Regardless, it wasn’t going to stop you from being a brat. No, if anything… you were about to test your limits.

i wish to Meet the Lizard 👁👁 part 1: 2, 3, 7, 8, 10

Thank you for your interest👁️👄👁️ i am honored.

behold! a lizard.

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh?

Eos is rather stoic in the same way the wol is canonically described; but she DOES enjoy company, she has a very strong community spirit (when she's involved in one, that is). So, provided that the company and her are likeminded, it's very easy for her to laugh even if she's not actively part of the conversation. I like to think she also likes laughing on her own when she's alone on the road. but like, if someone takes her by surprise, she'll be mortified.

3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

the moment she's laying down, it's over, she sleeps like a log. brain switched off. but right before that, she'll tend to the last chores of the day, that she likes doing (cleaning pots she used to cook, tending the fire), then will contemplate the sky or the flames for a little bit.

7. What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling?

ooo definitely foraging. i don't know the au ra lore yet bc i'm still making my way through heavensward but i know the xaela are inspired by the mongols and live on a steppe. and anyway i see her practicing foraging a lot since she lives on the road. but like yeah. foraging triggers nostalgia for her. it's not that she misses her home (she left for a reason) but it's also that she misses her home. because nostalgia is a bitch. when she forages, it feels strange because she's now evolving in a sedentary world which she isn't used to. she gather herbs that are different from the ones she used to gather. same activities, different herbs and plants, different results (not the same food). it's familiar and uncannily unfamiliar at the same time. she doesn't hate that feeling but definitely finds it weird.

8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?

she would give a death stare to anyone will Standing There pretty much without realizing and adults had to tell her to stop because they thought it was ominous. she was very confused because she's not a mean person. (since then she learned to use that death stare at her enemies but sometimes she STILL puts it on without realizing which can cause. problems)

10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?

She pretty much lied about her identity while leaving au ra territority. details are to come about this because again i still haven't met the au ra in game. but i guess she had to change name because if she met other tribes she could have 1. have been killed by a rival tribe the second they understood where she was from 2. sent back home by allied tribes 3. tracked (if the au ra tribes care about people leaving, ofc)

THANK YOU AGAIN because this gave me so much food for thoughts

[nightwingsass]

As someone who always wears Spider-Man headphones, and use my Captain American bag to work. I was afraid to be perceived as childish. Yet Men somehow managed to be way more childish. And actual children have been way cooler.

Once a mother and her son told me she liked my bag and headphones, to which I turned my body to her and showed my Deadpool shirt too.

Another time because I had my headphones in a mother who was sitting across from me, just pointed to my bag and gave me a thumbs up.

Literally two seconds later a guy who was sitting next to me showed me his phone and it was the most over-sexualised picture of Black Cat and Mary Jane I’ve ever seen. I just nodded my head in a polite way and awkwardly laughed. Cuz what did he want me to say? Give him a lecture on the over sexualization of women in comics and cm media? Like I simply don’t get it.

And this morning [Fri 03/18/2022] a guy pointed to my Conner Kent inspired jacket which has the house of el Logo on it and also pointed to my bag and headphones and simply told me that Jesus was the ultimate superhero👁👄👁. I looked at him and said “oh sorry I’m a satanist but thank you” and I showed him my TST card (Mainly to show I wasn’t interested). And he said it’s okay that’s why Jesus put me on your path. So I just awkwardly laughed and put my headphones back on.

How ever my favorite interactive was wen I entered the train and this guy immediately said “I like your superboy jacket” and my face lit up, usually when people complement my jacket they refer to it as Superman jacket, and that was exactly what I told him. And he automatically responded “nah I know my comics” and I’ve thought abt him every day.

This is essentially what I wear most days.

Tagged by @gorotakemura thanks u bb!! 🤲

I think lots of peeps already done it but I tag -  @mrssmasher - @evilpol - @northern-wolf6 - @cybervesna - @vos-videmus - @enbyheathen - @severalverysmallsandayus - @ghoulcouriersix - @visixv - @leather-nomad - @ssevth - @onlymeandlife​

Thats a lot- As always NO PRESSURE In doing it 👁👄👁 

🟨 When did you buy the game?

Ooof I can’t remember the exact date but I pre-ordered it before all the delays. I wanted to pre-order a PC collector version but it was sell out everywhere I tried- so I ended up pre-ordering a PS4 collector and bought the game digitally on GoG when it was available for purchase 🤡 then I sell the PS4 game to buy the funko pops AEHFHHG

🟨 When was the moment you knew you loved the game?

The first (and only) origin I’ve played is the Nomad one- I LOVE it, got me immersed so quick into the universe Tho the moment I trully fell for it is duing The Rescue, when Jackie drive out of the building and you see Night City at night, with the music, the rain, all the events happening, all the chit chat with Jackie gooodddddddddd this always gives me the chills 

🟨 Which character did you romance in your first playthrough?

I got spoiled on the romances some days before getting into the game hfhfhf so knowing Kerry was the only option available to men I went with him!  He’s a fun character, really liked his quests line and his arc, tho didn’t enjoyed the romance at all (not my style much) 

🟨 Whose your favorite NPC?

PFFHF... M.................M.......

Didn’t expected this at all either, man grabbed my heart, my ass, my SOUL, everything. Take it all ANDERSON TAKE IT ALL--

🟨 Did you have inspiration in mind when designing your V(s) ?

SOOO Not really, I always do self insert in RPGs, usually keep it to myself too because I play alone or with my best friend This is the first time I’m active and interact with people in a fandom, I didn’t expected this to become this HUGE for me and hfhfh I just rolled with it! Valentin is still Me in a way, but he’s also his own person/character, inspiration being.... uh ME HFHFHF

🟨 What’s your go-to vehicle?

Ahbruh COYOTE SHION MY BELOVEEEEEDDD And if I have to use a bike, Scorp’s Apollo is a BEAST! 

🟨 What’s your favorite gig/mission/job?

Probably biased but- any Nomad focused quest just grab my heart, it feels so much more humans and genuine and “real” than the quest for Fixers or with Corpos (Nomads don’t bullshit around, man)

I really loved The Parade too, it’s really breathtaking with the music, the lights, the decorations the holograms the EVERYTHING is beautiful 

I’ll Fly Away is also one of my fav and it’s- AEUHHAHUEA NUHG It’s probably because it involves Mitch too, but just? A funeral being just what it is, no spectacular shit, just... plan and simple, last wishes. I don’t know why it got me hard, but it did. 

🟨 Which NC Radio station do you switch to the most?

OUGGHH.... Pacifc Dreams, Night FM and Body Heat tho I really like a lot of Principales’s song.... also The Dirge’s.....  Songs be good...

[baekhvuns]

Ahhhh shit I almost forgot about TTWHY 🙉🙈🙊... but Seonghwa pissed me off a bit more in that one. Bodyguard was dumb too, but I also understand his reasoning (bad way of dealing with the situation but still) lmaooo I wanted to send you that video, our sweet clown, a comedian <3333 he's got the spirit

Ok so just like I thought then! What the fuck Y/N was supposed to die... NOT ON MY WATCH! 💀 jsudjeudidheiueb it's okay I'm gonna instert Dumbles in their scenes myself, but ngl halfway through I was like "waaaait where's the cat?!" I hope he returned with Y/N! Y/N and ice cream, well sounds about right 😆 shit you're right some of his background was mentioned, I still need to know more details like how did he get there, what's his life story, his family etc, so please hook us up for a heart to heart talk <3

Baekhvuns x ateezmakemeweep crossover when? Lol yes fuckboy Hwa better do a full 180 and starts worshipping Y/N instead of just teasing her

It's a bit sad cause I usually love their titles and this is what I wanted: rock inspired, hardcore and noisy concept, but it just didn't hit? Everyone's so hyped and saying how genius the song is, but I'm not feeling it 💔 I was anticipating this comeback so much (I still am, I'm just worried the song will disappoint me). It's slowly growing on me, but I don't think I'll ever be obsessed. Kpop parties helped me "get" Maniac, I also listened to it like 11 times in a row cause my phone glitched and I couldn't change the song cause I was on public transport squeezed between people 😭 still not my fave though so maybe Guerrilla will be the same. It's funny cause people on twitter are like "you don't like Guerrilla? What did you expect them to lead a rebellion with Turbulence or Wave type of songs" and I'm like "I actually wanted them to go harder" (just remembered I hypnotised myself into like Don't Call Me too 😅)

Bestie Christmas Evel was my Christmas song I actually really like it 😭 FELIZ NAVIDAD FELIZ NAVIDAD I CAN FEEL THE EVIL COMING BUT FELIX NEVER BAD?! - so dumb I LOVE IT. I don't know what you heard, but I personally really like everything on Oddinary especially Charmer I even liked their slower song which is kinda shocking, from Noeasy (except Thunderous) my faves are Cheese, Ssick, Red Lights, Silent Cry, Star Lost. Some of my fave songs in general are Miroh, Side Effects, Victory Song, Voices, Spread My Wings, TOP, TA, Easy, Any, Levanter, Insomnia, Rock, Awaken, Hello Stranger. Alsooooo I loved Xdinary Heroes cb, the title isn't that amazing, but the bsides?! Aaaaaaand this boy continues to be a problem he's so cool and talented and pretty, but also a big loser and a baby so naturally I love him 🙄🥴

Yes I saw that Soo Hyuk show, but I need more, not just a web drama 😭

Yeah that "friend" of mine is so weird wtf, I was looking through qrts on some tweets and they were there?! How can I escape lmao maybe I should block them. But I like torturing myself so I went ahead and read a bit more and...wheew bestie, someone needs to go outside and leave twitter for a moment

Bandana Hwa so true 😍. Oh, he is looooooking

In the new photo Seonghwa looks like a rockhopper penguin kshsjdgakdhiddbsj (I know they went for 80s goth punk look, but that was my first impression) what are those fits 🤔 I like Seonghwa's jacket tho also Matz in riding boots, is San's back exposed?! Why are some of them wearing crazy clothes and others just... boring biker gang stuff, their stylists are all over the place 🙈

I got bastard (good) on the quiz lmaooo

Expensive man huhu, also BOOOOBS 👁👄👁 - DV 💖

hi hello!!

Ahhhh shit I almost forgot about TTWHY 🙉🙈🙊... but Seonghwa pissed me off a bit more in that one. Bodyguard was dumb too, but I also understand his reasoning (bad way of dealing with the situation but still) lmaooo I wanted to send you that video, our sweet clown, a comedian <3333 he's got the spirit

IM SO VERY SURPRISED OVER TTWHY???? so very surprised with ppl liking this one better then other fics 😵‍💫😵‍💫 love making my seonghwa’s be there root of trouble <3 😳😳 JFBWKDB HE’D LOSE A FIGHT SO QUICK 😭😭😭

Ok so just like I thought then! What the fuck Y/N was supposed to die... NOT ON MY WATCH! 💀 jsudjeudidheiueb it's okay I'm gonna instert Dumbles in their scenes myself, but ngl halfway through I was like "waaaait where's the cat?!" I hope he returned with Y/N!

JFBWKDBK YES SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DIE 😭😭😭 wrong person wrong time,,, seonghwa would’ve been absolutely devastated <3 can guarantee if that ever happened he would never not marry anyone and keep that ring on <3 omg absolutely i will quickly ask him for his schedule for this weekend so he can come and have a one on one with you! LMFAOOOO

Baekhvuns x ateezmakemeweep crossover when? Lol yes fuckboy Hwa better do a full 180 and starts worshipping Y/N instead of just teasing her

id PASS AWAY if that EVER happened 😭😭 absolutely he mf better bc what if like someone else tries to hit her up,,, 🔫🔫

It's a bit sad cause I usually love their titles and this is what I wanted: rock inspired, hardcore and noisy concept, but it just didn't hit? Everyone's so hyped and saying how genius the song is, but I'm not feeling it 💔 I was anticipating this comeback so much (I still am, I'm just worried the song will disappoint me). It's slowly growing on me, but I don't think I'll ever be obsessed. Kpop parties helped me "get" Maniac, I also listened to it like 11 times in a row cause my phone glitched and I couldn't change the song cause I was on public transport squeezed between people 😭 still not my fave though so maybe Guerrilla will be the same. It's funny cause people on twitter are like "you don't like Guerrilla? What did you expect them to lead a rebellion with Turbulence or Wave type of songs" and I'm like "I actually wanted them to go harder" (just remembered I hypnotised myself into like Don't Call Me too 😅)

maybe when you hear the song fully your mind might change! you ofc don’t have to be obsessed with the title track there’s more tracks you might end up liking! LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭 I STILL CANT GET INTO MANIAC EXCEPT WHEN THEY KEEP SAYING MANIAC DBDB JFBWKDJWK tbh atp kpoppies just force ppl into liking music and omg i saw this twt the other day and ???????

isn’t the whole point of them having to grow as artists shown from criticism as well?? this tweet sounds tone deaf ???? isn’t music put out for ppl’s opinions on it 😭😭😭

STOP I LOVED DONT CALL ME THAT BASS KILLED ME IT WAS LIKE OBSESSIONS BASS

Bestie Christmas Evel was my Christmas song I actually really like it 😭 FELIZ NAVIDAD FELIZ NAVIDAD I CAN FEEL THE EVIL COMING BUT FELIX NEVER BAD?! - so dumb I LOVE IT. I don't know what you heard, but I personally really like everything on Oddinary especially Charmer I even liked their slower song which is kinda shocking, from Noeasy (except Thunderous) my faves are Cheese, Ssick, Red Lights, Silent Cry, Star Lost. Some of my fave songs in general are Miroh, Side Effects, Victory Song, Voices, Spread My Wings, TOP, TA, Easy, Any, Levanter, Insomnia, Rock, Awaken, Hello Stranger. Alsooooo I loved Xdinary Heroes cb, the title isn't that amazing, but the bsides?! Aaaaaaand this boy continues to be a problem he's so cool and talented and pretty, but also a big loser and a baby so naturally I love him 🙄🥴

JFBWKD I FIRST THOUGHT THAT SONG WAS LIKE A FANMADE THING UNTIL I WAS LIKE “fuck??? that’s actually a song…???” SO DUMB DBDBDH YES BUT ITS SO CONTAGIOUS omg yes i listened to charmer and i love that song better than the title track 😭😭😭 my favourite has to be hellavator one of the best jyp debut tracks! ill def listen to them all!!!

In the new photo Seonghwa looks like a rockhopper penguin kshsjdgakdhiddbsj (I know they went for 80s goth punk look, but that was my first impression) what are those fits 🤔 I like Seonghwa's jacket tho also Matz in riding boots, is San's back exposed?! Why are some of them wearing crazy clothes and others just... boring biker gang stuff, their stylists are all over the place 🙈

💡 for the ask game!!

(also this is unrelated but I’m on my eighth reread of Conceal Me and I am screaminggggg)

EIGHT TIMES 👁👄👁 You wanna be my editor with how many typos And mistakes I’m sure you’ve found? But seriously that’s insane and amazing and extremely humbling to hear.

💡 What’s the weirdest thing you’ve been inspired by?

(Not Star Wars) back when Yuri on Ice first came out I wrote the 1st chapter to a Yuri on Ice and Cloud Atlas crossover,which to this day is probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever written. I think I watched both about the same time and was…inspired?confused? For my current obikin fics I wouldn’t say it’s weird per say,but definitely the funniest inspo for one of my fics is This Was Obi-Wan being inspired by that tumblr post of Ewan sitting like a thot lmao I think it’s the really popular one where Lumi had some lascivious tags and I responded with something equally as undignified and turned around and wrote to this day one of the filthiest things I’ve ever written lmao

Everyone likes to discuss the songs idols release but most of these are not written by them. Sometimes not even written with them in mind. I think only when the artists write it themselves or we know they've had a lot of input, can we say something about their meaning in relation to the artists. Even if they have a say in the tracklist, there's already a specific vibe that these songs have to fit.

That being said, when I found out that Jjong meant for cocktail to be Taemin's song, I was like 👁👄👁

i meeeeeeean, yes and no

like, i know for a lot of newer artists, a lot of their songs are either written entirely without their input, or have little input from them

but, i do think, this is not the case when talking about shinee. most of the time. who are artists who have more than earned the right to have creative control when it comes to their work. i highly doubt they just let songs get picked for them without having any say, these days.

like, they are actually pretty well known for either writing songs entirely, having a large amount of input, or at the very least, hand-selecting the songs, and tweaking them until they fit their vibe and music style - which they also have a say in.

there are literally people who's job it is to find songs by writers that very specifically cater to their artists interests - which then actually go through a vetting process by the artist and their whole team. so, it's not like these songs are just random.

for example, holy water, which i believe was what instigated this message, is still a song that is clearly heavily influenced by or edited to be very much in tune with taemin's whole aesthetic. to the point where he HAD to have had input in it. it's simply full of too much sinful sexy catholicim, and religious metaphors/questioning, NOT to be.

look at bad love - key isn't in the writing credits, but we KNOW he had a huge part in the way the song was written. in terms of input and inspiration. the 'i'm sick of this bad love' line specifically being added, so the song sounded even more like him.

now, i'm not as naive to say that shinee get total control, all the time, because that's simply not true. however, i think when they have an incredibly niche, or, specific vibe to a song, that seems to resonate with what we know of the member's individual style and personality, then chances are, that was down to them.

and, jjong intending cocktail for taemin just tells me that he knows taemin loves sexual metaphors, slow jams, and being a slut on stage???

also, i can't talk about cocktail without listening to cocktail, but that's no hardship.

17, 18, 19 for TWST ask 🐙

[Ask game here!]

17. Answered here!

18. Oh God, I have a lot for this, so I’ll try to limit it. 🗿 I think I’ll have to make a bullet list for this.

Visiting the boys’ home towns! I would love to go outside of NRC and see how each place looks like. I want to know from which country was each home country inspired by and how these places affected our boys. If we do visit their homes, I’d love to see everyone’s parents. 😳 They all sound charming (except Riddle’s mom).

Boys in summer/winter outfits! Yana’s interview did confirm that they have designs for them, but they never got the chance to implement them. I look forward to seeing their winter outfits, but I want their summer uniforms even more just for a chance to see all of them wear short sleeves for once. 👁👄👁

Boys in casual outfits. Oh my God, I always think about what if Disney does SSRs of the boys in casual clothes for an anniversary and they reveal them on an Abema stream, and I just go hogwild over all of them. Okay, the upcoming Vargas camp event does give us 4 of the boys in casual clothes, but you know me and my octosimping ass. 🤡

New battle features. I don’t know about you, but my battle-loving self wants to see Twst shake up the current battle system a bit. Leave me surprised, Twst.

19. Oh man, I would have changed a lot of the music in Twst. Don’t get me wrong, Twst has really good OSTs, and I love listening to the music, but especially for the rhythmics, a lot of them tend to sound underwhelming. The ones that fall under this category for me are Savanaclaw’s rhythmics because some of them do have nice melodies, but they sound so incomplete. The existing rhythmic event music are also kind of sad in my opinion. Fairy Gala was okay, the music did fit the theme, but it wasn’t particularly amazing. Dances & Wishes was honestly a letdown for me, but I guess it’s because I had high expectations for it since I love the theme of stars. Honestly, Beans Day and Ghost Marriage had one new song each and they were both bangers, so it’s kind of sad that the battle events have better music than the rhythmic events.

So about a month ago, I created the Smoshblr Spotify Playlist! It is a public playlist, so anyone can look at the playlist, but it’s also a collaborative playlist, meaning anyone with a Spotify account is free to add music to it.

Thanks to you guys, there’s already a lot of great music on there! Listening to all the songs also serves as some great writing inspo, which got me thinking... why not make an ongoing community challenge out of it?! I was always a fan of those fic-writing challenges back in the day that included writing 100 fics for 100 prompts, and I wanted to do something similar to that, but for all sorts of fan creations. So now introducing:

The Smoshblr List: Creators Challenge! 🎉✨

(please click Keep Reading for details)

What is it and who can participate?

⤷ It’s a challenge for those in the Smosh community to make fan content based off the songs in the Spotify Smoshblr List!

⤷ For those who don’t really make fan content but still want to contribute, it’s a way to share some music and potentially see some cool content inspired by your favorite songs~

⤷ Basically anyone in the Smosh fandom can participate!

How do I utilize the playlist?

⤷ Make fan content that is inspired by a song in the playlist. You can write a songfic with the lyrics incorporated throughout it, you can think up an AU that comes to mind when you listen to the song, you can make a video edit that uses the song... whatever you want!

⤷ The Creators Challenge requires that you make your fan content in coordination with each song of the Smoshblr List, in the order the songs were added. In other words, you’re making a new creation for each song in the playlist, starting with the oldest song on the list to the most recently added one. This should push creators’ imaginations while also ensuring that none of the songs on the playlist is neglected.

What kind of fan content is allowed?

⤷ Whatever you can think of! Fanart, fanfiction, graphic edits, video edits, drabbles, ficlets, headcanons, moodboards, AU imagines... The list is endless!

⤷ Shippy content, NSFW content, and otherwise graphic content is allowed, but please respect tag etiquette (see Rules & Guidelines below).

Where can I share/find this content?

⤷ Tag your creations with the tag #Smoshblr List Creations.

⤷ You can use this tag wherever you post your content (Ao3, Wattpad, Instagram, etc.) but most likely you’ll use this tag for your posts on Tumblr :)

When does this challenge start/end?

⤷ This challenge starts RIGHT NOW!

⤷ As for when it ends... it never really does. 👁👄👁

⤷ I guess you “win” the challenge if you make so much content that you reach the end of the list before new music is added, but really, it’s an ongoing challenge -- plus a wealth of inspiration for you to return to when you want it.

Rules & Guidelines

⤷ Do not delete any songs off the playlist.

⤷ Keep shippy and NSFW content out of the main Smosh tags on Tumblr, including #smosh #smosh pit #smosh games #smosh squad and any of the cast name tags (ex: #mari takahashi or #lasercorn). Please still do use the tag #Smoshblr List Creations, but make sure to tag for ships (ex: #koah) or for NSFW content (#nsfw).

⤷ “Graphic content” can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, so you decide whether or not it’s okay to share on the main tags. Regardless, still use #Smoshblr List Creations, and if necessary, include disclaimers/trigger warnings in the tags and/or in the post itself.

⤷ If you want to add music to the Smoshblr List but making fan content isn’t really your thing, that’s totally fine and encouraged! Just out of courtesy for others, please don’t spam the playlist with a bunch of songs all at once. Otherwise, there’s no limit to the number of songs you add to the playlist over time.

⤷ Have fun and message me if you have any questions or concerns!

Gotta ask about Naruto 💜

The first character I first fell in love with: kskdkdjd kinda cheating bc i had already liked kakashi as a character longgg before id watched the show i literally roffllll only started naruto in like. 2021 no im not joking kajdjsdjs but yeah kakashi😫

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: naruto???? honestly i have this thing abt main characters never being my fav but nar is my bb. my friend. myself

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: omg so i kinda like him now like he grew on me but gai was like,,,,,,aH for me i like that he seems genuinely earnest but that kind of personality has always irked me bc it initially comes off as fake to me as in 'theres no way they can rly be That Nice' but like,,,,,hes literally Just Like That™️

  The character I love that everyone else hates:  skfnsndd i have a hardcore au version of orochimaru that im in lov with but obviously his crimes in canon cannot be ignored

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: hmm i wanted so bad to love sakura but as its gone on her characterization is extrmely lacking for what i wanted it to be and you just,,,,,kinda have to accept that shes extemly unfullfilled and sidelined but sigh. so much potential

The character I would totally smooch:  kakashi👁👄👁

The character I’d want to be like:  kakashi! lmfao. or shikamaru

The character I’d slap: realisticaly im against violence butlikeinfiction id wanna slap the bullshit out of jiraiya

A pairing that I love: sasuke/naruto invented anime romance

A pairing that I despise: naruto/hinata because its creepy and i do avtually really like hinata i just think she got stuck in her idolization of naruto and obviously also a genuine crush but it seems to have developed only on her side by like,,,watching him from a distance rofl which i mean girl same i never talk to guys i like but!!!!! its no excuse lmfao she needs to actually like have a real conversation w him but ideally itd be like,,,she realizes that she looks up to him as a hero and inspiration and had a crush but its relaly not goin anywjere hun bc hes gay as hell and like. bit of an obstacle yknow so. id like her to have ended up w kiba and shino both and to relax into a rly nice friendship w naruto full of mutual support and inspiration :'3
