Can you do wooyoung as a boyfriend? :D
YESS! I've been waiting for this request for a long time, thank you so much <3 I hope you'll enjoy :)) I'm sorry it took a while to write this, but I got caught up with a busy schedule all of a sudden.
jung wooyoung as your boyfriend - headcanon
headcanon, romance, fluff, smut
reader x bf!atz
wc. ~0.9k
an: i'm weak for this man you all know
you can request headcanons if you want to!! if you want to be tagged in any of my fics you can apply here <3
masterlist
-i think we all know that wooyoung is your brat best friend type of boyfriend, who always puts you before himself and takes such good care of you, still can never stop teasing you
-he needs a lot of attention, like a lot. if your attention is not on him he will get all sulky and clingy. he would annoy you just to give him what he wants. even when you're talking to someone else he will cling to you from the back or to your arms
-but if the opposite happens, he just loves it so so much, it's one of his ways to tease you. he would play a video game or be on his phone and you would beg for his attention, he wouldn't give in so easily, but there would always be a cocky smile on his face
-gives you presents all the damn time, it's one of his love languages, he loves giving in general, especially when it comes to you. even if it's just a chocolate or a jewelry he will buy it when he thinks of you
-would even buy you pieces of clothes that he already has or buy one for himself too, so you guys could match in a cool way
-he cooks your favorite dishes every date night. loves to experiment with food, you are his taste tester and would be the happiest when he sees you love what he made just for you
-also gives you all his food from his plate, he wants you to eat well, but you want the same for him so you always fight over it
-late-night walk hand in hand by the river, watching all the night lights of the city, him giving you his jacket because you refused to bring yours, but now he freezes to death but loves it at the same time, stopping by a convenient store to buy snacks and ice cream, yeah that's just a casual friday night
-lots and lots of kisses. just gives you random kisses on your cheeks, doesn't care where or who is there it doesn't stop him (his members are already used to it)
-would kiss you passionately until you lose your breath, then he would smile to a final kiss because he feels proud of himself
-on facetime with you 24/7 when he's on tour
-he is basically best friends with your family and friends, in return, you are best friends with his mom
-has heart eyes for you, doesn't break eye contact, and flirts with you every given minute
-have cheeky nicknames for you like pookie, nugget, pumpkin (anything that he can think of at the moment), but your contact name is the sweetest "my one and only", also you are his wallpaper for sure
-brings you with him everywhere, literally you two are connected (at least that's what his members are saying). he brings you to work, you have to watch him dance and then review it or to a filming, you're always somewhere behind the cameras
-would want to move in with you as soon as he can, because he doesn't want to spend any time without you
-calls you his wife in front of the members and his family, because you will be one day, he's sure about that
-if you're dating woo it means sometimes there's a plus one on your dates, san feels a little weird about it, he thinks he interrupts your special time but loves to hang out with you guys
-he hates it when san and you are allying against him, but deep down loves to see that you get along well, his two soulmates
-you have to cuddle him so he can fall asleep at night, usually you are the big spoon because this man loves to be cuddled
-his hand is constantly on your thighs or on your ass, he's shameless about it
-he is whipped for you, would literally do anything you ask him to do
nsfw +18!!!
-lots of people think he is a tease in bed too, but I think he is quite the opposite. wooyoung is a very impatient person, he cannot wait for long, especially when he wants you so bad
-I think I don't have to say it, but he is a sub in bed. likes to be taken care of and likes to be on the bottom
-there are times when he wants to take care of you tho, so he would switch and make you feel good all night long
-his hands all over your body, would touch everywhere he can reach, just can't get enough of you
-loves it when you kiss his neck, that's something he gets turned on immediately, also just compliment his body and this man is done right there
-very noisy, lots of whimpers and moans, doesn't really care if someone hears it
-i think he gets worked up pretty easily, so you guys would have sex every single time you meet or you sleep over at each other's place
-for positions, I would say cowgirl is the most common, but he likes everything where you are on the top and he can see you well
-blowjob is a must, even if you don't have sex, at a random bathroom of a restaurant or at the dance studio
-he needs cuddles after, just wants to hold you close to him and would praise you for such a good work you did, would definitely take good care of you after, brings you food and clean clothes, would feel very grateful and sentimental at these moments

Sincerly Yours,
tsukishima kei; angst
“If you're reading this, my worst fear must have happened.”
Rain mocks Tsukishima as it slithers from the roof of his tinted car down to the steep glass that separates him from the rest of the world. The events tonight are heavy, leaving a wrenching pain in his chest even though he had everything planned. Emotions and reason are quantified and rationalized and yet he did not expect to feel this way, not when he’s reading a letter from you–the one you gave him before you left the cafe.
“Ironically, I wrote this at my happiest moment with you. You’re sitting across from me in the living room, my feet on your thighs as you busy yourself with a newly purchased book. You don’t even notice me looking at you and smiling like an idiot in love. Well, that is true. I am an idiot for loving you.”
Tsukishima couldn’t remember the last time he had a hard time reading words. Every phrase numbs his senses, losing control over his trembling hands, and restricting his air ways making it hard for him to breathe. All he could focus on is the prickling sensation on his palms and his racing heartbeat. Why are you always so unpredictable?
“You burnt your tongue on a miso soup I made tonight. It was my first attempt to recreate your mother’s speciality and you were so excited to critique that you missed my warning. You cussed in different languages at the sudden burn and I couldn’t help but laugh. Sometimes I forget that deep within you rests an innocent child. I want to take care of you; of course, for as long as you allow me. Tell me, do you remember today?”
Unable to hold it in, Tsukishima chokes on his tears. His pale cold hands cupping his mouth as if to swallow back his sobs. The memory of you in his apartment, wearing an apron way too large for your size and the determined look on your face, eager to woo him with your amateur cooking skills. How could he forget? You looked ridiculous as you complained about the confusing cooking instructions on google. He snuck a photo of you in his small kitchen, your back to his as you take a sip from the wooden ladle. It was his wallpaper for the next three months. How could he forget? How could he forget the first time he wished for a future with someone. Waking up next to you every day, warm showers together, and falling asleep in each other’s arms. He was never this way with anyone before.
“Why didn’t we make it?"
Tsukishima wallows in despair, tucking the letter away to the dashboard. His forehead meets with the steering wheel, body forfeiting on the burden of breaking up. His hand clutches onto the paper tightly as though he was holding your hand, afraid that losing grip will slip you away.
“Was I not enough? Was being with me not enough to make you happy? I always tell you to pursue happiness even if it means leaving important yet unhealthy things in your life. Perhaps, in your present day, I am one of them. I’ll never blame you for ending things. You might think how could I be so sure that you’ll be the one to break us up? I have never told you this, at least from the time I wrote this, with you I have always been certain. I want to grow old with you. But things turned out differently for the both of us, didn't they? Even so, thank you and for the last time, I love you, Kei.”
He tosses his glasses to the seat next to him, pressing the pads of fingers on the socket of his eyes. “Stop.” He utters between sobs. The rain has now completely framed the windows of his car. The loud pouring on the metal hood silences the rustling city. He’s alone, listening to his pointless wails.
“Sincerely Yours,”
a/n: writing with my uterus. ah i miss writing angst.

Lee Jae Wook Vlive 21 June 2021
Stats
Total vlive viewers: 35675 Total likes: 2072339 Length: 1 hr 01 minute T-shirt: Unlock your life by Pars Co. https://www.parspars.com/product/unlock-your-life-rainbow-white-short-t-shirt/
He's on a diet now.
He threatened to turn off the Vlive a few times because of all the people who said they were not studying for their exams to watch it :P
He's growing out his hair now for the next project.
He had to ban requests for him to say fans' names in the middle since too many requests were pouring in for him to say their name. Don’t blame them lol.
Talking with fans
What is your next project? You should see articles about it soon Will you do more vlogs? It's difficult to do vlogs in the pandemic period since you need to wear a mask everywhere. What do you do in your free time? I eat a lot, sleep a lot, and exercise a lot. Can you donate your Jordan shoes to me? No I can't, and then launched into some anecdote about something about high school, which is unsubbed. When will you hold a fan meeting? Probably after the pandemic. "You're watching me at hagwon (cram school)? I will scold you!" And he did lol it was so cute. What do you do when you first wake up? A hot water shower, and then..? [unsubbed] Do you like overseas fans? Of course I do, I love my overseas fans. I'll come for you after the pandemic is over. Current favourite song: Recently, ‘Lost’ by Maroon 5 was released. It's the best. Will you do an online fan-sign event? That would be interesting! What's your MBTI? I haven't done it yet! Please do the MBTI! OK I will definitely do it! Can you do a bear heart? What's a bear heart? There's so much I don't know. Teleport vs being able to tell the future? This is an interesting question. I would choose to teleport. I live in the Gangnam area, and the traffic there is so bad! So I would choose 'Teleport'. (I didn't know he lived in Gangnam). Do you have a driver's license? Of course I do. Shoe size: 285mm Can you speak English? No, I can barely speak Korean well :P
-but in the middle he did say "Say hi to global fan" LOL-
Your favourite late night snack? Fried chicken, jokbal, and bossam. I spend a lot of money on food :P Would you date someone 7 years younger? 7 years younger? It's not a bad idea. I’m thankful (that someone 7 years younger likes me.) Would you date someone 7 years older? (laughs) It's a funny question. Why haven't you been seen anywhere in public? I don't go to many places, only to the gym and back to my home. Favourite snack: Goguma (sweet potato). It's sad, right? (Implying he's on a diet.) And then he randomly said he's tall but doesn't have good proportions (possibly someone asking why he exercises so much :P)
Do you like cats and dogs? I love them. I have a friend who has a shiba-inu called Chadol. It was so cute I went to his house every day to see his dog. You should eat more: You may not like me then! D: I'm studying Korean, study with me? I'm also trying to get better at Korean. Shall we do it together? (so flirty) Did you remove the mole on your neck? No, I didn't remove it. I won't remove it. What's your handphone wallpaper? It's a white wall with an orange stripe, somewhat Rothko-esque. He said he took it at his house's parking lot, and "It's pretty, isn't it?" Which celebrity friends do you have? (Playfully) 비밀 Do you like mint chocolate? I love mint chocolate. My friend told me not to declare this, and said that saying that I like it is a matter of life or death :P People say it tastes like toothpaste but it tastes nice to me! What colors do you like? Blue. Blue and dark colors. Isn't long hair uncomfortable? It is, but I will cut it one day. Your long hair looks cool: (Teasingly) I'm going to cut it soon~ Do you get along well with your elder sister? Yes, I really like my relationship with her. Which of your characters is most like you? Lee Jang Woo from When The Weather Is Fine. (Is he that good in his studies? Lol. And then he said something about a unicorn, which I do recall seeing in the drama, I think he used "___ unicorn" to brag about himself to his younger sister :P) Jjajangmyeon vs bibimbap? This is really hard. Do I get to have soup with bibimbap? Favourite perfume: Can I say the brand? I guess it doesn't matter. Slow Dance by Byredo. It's my favourite perfume. Today's TMI: I woke up early and went to the gym. Do you ride your bike often? About 3 times a week? Oppa because of you I'm going to Chung Ang University: So you'll be my junior huh. (laughs) Oppa, can you close your left eye and point to your right cheek? (he obediently follows the prompt.. he’s really an actor lol) "You!! I almost fell for it! Gosh, my mum will pass out if she sees this." He revealed a two string bracelet on his left hand while adjusting the camera. Favourite dessert: Croffle? Croffle. I really like croffle. Current body wash: I'm using a body wash by Lush (only he says it as Lush-ee, which is just adorable.) Can you speak Japanese? I love animes but Japanese is so hard. I will study hard! When will you do a rap? I may try it one day. (I wonder if he knows about that old rap video floating around lol.) Dimples vs. Eyes: Eyes? I think he might be talking about his forehead wrinkles instead of eyes actually, so the translation is wrong. What animes do you like? He didn't answer, but said there are many animes on Netflix that he watches. Eating chimaek while watching the world cup? Eating chicken and beer sounds good but, my agency probably wouldn't like it. Can you say a line of Baek Kyung since it's been a long time? (playfully) I won't do it~ Iced americano vs. hot coffee: Iced americano. He said 'eoljuga', which roughly means 'I’ll drink iced Americano even if I freeze to death'. :P What app do you use most often? Naver? I have many things I need to look up :P Which of your parents do you resemble? Sometimes my mum, but sometimes my dad. Do you like kalguksu (knife cut noodle soup)? Yes, I love kalguksu and sujebi. Favourite ice cream flavour: Mint chocolate. (Bursts into laughter) Who do you like better - your mum or your dad: Omma. You thought I wouldn't answer, didn't you. (He has thanked only his sister and his mum in an award ceremony before lol. Poor Jaewookie appa) Oppa I'll date you: I'll reject your offer. (bursts into laughter again). Are you at the agency now? Nope. Please name the fanclub: This is hard. It (the fanclub) should go on forever, shouldn't it? Send an email to the agency. 5 year old Jaewookie vs 5 copies of Jaewook?: Of course 5 copies of Jaewook. One to exercise, one to work, one to stay at home and eat.. Do you dip or pour sauce for tangsuyuk? But, why would you pour water on fried food? I'll say dip. Jjajang vs. jjampong: That's hard! When working, jjajang. When resting, jjambong. *Nods sagely to himself* (Although he instinctively said 'jjampong' first). When moving house, jjajang. What message from fans cheered you up the most? It was this letter I got. It said "you make us happy when you're working hard, but don't work too hard." It cheered me up a lot. Soju vs. beer: Soju Cider (Sprite/lemonade) vs cola: Cola Do you eat pineapple on pizza? I think it tastes nice! Hawaiian pizzas. I also really like pineapple. Fall or spring? Fall. I really like spring too, but there are too many bugs. Small but definite happiness? (He understood the abbreviation immediately, which is sooo different from when the Running Man cast are introduced to any new lingo lol) When I bike, I don't drink any water. I have a routine; after biking, I run for about 6km, then I drink water. That water at the midpoint mark is so delicious. Oppa I like you, please scold me: Why would I scold you. I would compliment you :P Good job. Favourite boy group: BTS. They're so cool (safe answer!) Ramen vs. kimbap? Don't you eat them together? How tall are you? 187cm tall. Which variety show would you like to appear on he most? "I have never been on a variety show yet. Have you seen Kokkomu? When I watched Kokkomu I cried a lot. My tears came out like diamonds." lol. In reference to an earlier question. No idea what Kokkomu is. https://newsbeezer.com/koreaeng/kokkomu-which-was-just-popular-is-controversial-due-to-the-copying-of-the-youtube-channel/ Possibly this? Beef or pork? Pork How long have you been tall? I've always been tall. Then he gives a cheeky wink! Oppa can you go on on Knowing Bros? I'll have a hard time talking in banmal in front of all the sunbaenim. I'll do more Vlive in the future. *compromise* lol. Oppa kajimayo: If I don't leave, the staff can't leave work either :P Can you fill an hour (of Vlive?): Shall we fill an hour? Do you want to be in a play or musical? Of course I do. Plays require the best form of acting. What's the first thing you want to do when the pandemic is over? I want to go to a pork belly bbq place and eat comfortably without a mask. What's the worst part about acting? Every moment is hard. It's not an easy job. Why do you always wear 2 T-shirts? I like T-shirts but, but my sweat changes their color. I don't like that, so. Favourite overseas country? Filming Alhambra was my first time overseas. I didn't even take many photos. I want to send you T-shirts: Don't, don't! while vigorously shaking his head. (worried that his fans will spend money) What is your life movie? I really love Robin Williams. It's not my life movie, but I love the Dead Poets' Society. Did you really go to Alhambra? Back then, my role was really small, so I didn't really know what was going on, but (I did go to the palace? is what it sounds like.) Would you rather be 3m tall or have a 400mm shoe size? Wouldn't it be better to be tall? (what’s the point of having big feet?) Oppa don't go to the army: I have to go someday.. I still have a lot of time, and will work hard When will be our wedding? Am I getting married? (laughs) Pepsi or Coca cola: I like any cola. I'll go to the army for you: Andwae it will be hard! Although apparently it's not as hard as it used to be. Are your family members all as tall as you? Yes my family members are all tall too. What do you do on your free days? I'm a freelancer so I don't have free days. How do you keep your skin looking so young? Lancome (he's now promoting Lancome). I came here right after a Lancome event. I really like Lancome. Tell me about your bracelet: I'll ask my stylist later :P When you come to Pohang I'll guide you!: I love gwamegi! (half-dried Pacific saury) Do you like to cook? I really like to cook. I love it so much even when people tell me not to cook, I will still cook. Oppa come to my school!: Which school is that? Tell me. Although I probably won't be able to read it. (cheeky smile). I'm really mean now, aren’t I. Favourite side dish? I like them all. Mokpo: Dodosolsollalasol was filmed in Mokpo. I ate aehobak jjigae (zucchini stew) there and it was amazing. Do Vlive at home? I'll figure out how to do it! I'll learn everything today. You use black and white hearts a lot on IG, what does it mean? It's the color of my tee. Just kidding, I just choose a color of heart that goes best with the photo. How much can you drink? Should I bluff? If I'm bluffing, when I drink alone at home, about 3 bottles? Just kidding, I get drunk after about 1.5 bottles (of soju). Favourite sports: Skiing, swimming, bowling. Was it hard to use a dialect in the Battle of Jangsari? Using a dialect was really hard. Can you do an IG live? I'm scared to do live - you can't make a mistake when all of you are watching. I have to be careful. Why aren't you seen in public? I answered that earlier, you are late. LOL. Your best dish? Western food? Something like risotto? Plans to film a movie? I want to but I should get offered first. Joking. Lol. I was told off for being late (the commenter above): Haha sorry.
Best fan questions/comments:
Live as a hamster or a ham forever?
Your pimples are so cute (mistranslation, she meant 'dimples'): "I have 4 dimples."
Don't smile, you'll give me a heart attack: I'm also having a heart attack seeing so many fans. I like it (that there are many fans on the vlive) but it's also scary. So cute.
Are you a microwave? You melted my heart: You're all so witty, jjinjjaru..
I'll make money. You just cook: You're so funny..

d100 Adventure Beginnings
Feeling anxious, indoors because of the Covid-19 quarantine, I adapted an idea from Khairani Barokka and asked Twitter to give me emojis.
I’d turn these emoji into oddities, instigations, opening to adventure.
Guess I wanted to travel? In my head, far afield. It took the weekend, but it made me happy. There were many, many typos, but I visited a hundred different microcosms, with a hundred different persons.
Original thread begins HERE; tweets in the thread were tagged / attributed.
+
d100 ADVENTURE BEGINNINGS
1. 🥐 The sandwich comes to you via delivery. You unwrap the foil as the quadrotor buzzes away. There's something in your sandwich, between tempe patties -an oil-stained slip of card. "Come alone," it says. There is a street address. ~
2. [Photograph of a vine tendril] Watering the garden, you see your morning glory stir.
Its tendrils uncoil. Its vines unclench, recede. Knot in on themselves, twine into thin limbs.
They let go of your fence. They have a face. Flower eyes: two purple trumpet blossoms. They offer a hand to shake.
~
3. [Italian flag] Morning ritual: put coffee on, wash face, check phone. Twitter takes a half-hour.
You smell burning. Coffee! Your moka pot is now sooty, long past hissing. A man stands next to it, made of steam.
"Salve," the steam ghost says, tipping his steam cap.
~
4. 🕯️ A warm night. The air is still. The candle flickers in your partner's face. She is checking her wallet. Slips it in her pocket as the candle dies.
"Ah!" she says, in darkness. "So over this power cut."
Time to get more candles.
~
5. 🔧 This is a *great* spot to get a flat: Lonely road, no streetlights, trees knitting their branches overhead. You shiver. You hate that you shiver. You're an adult. You make noise to assert this. The jack clunks on the ground. "Darling?" somebody whispers.
~
6. 🦚 "Make way for Lady Lerna!" cries the page, swinging his censer. Behind him a dozen men bear a gilded litter.
Laughter. Ringed fingers part the curtains. A powdered dowager wearing a cartwheel ruff of peacock eyes peers out. She holds her nose.
You hate her.
~
7. 🐷 Suckling pig. Its split-jaw-ed head faces you. You have never been more aware of an animal corpse.
Goldteeth Liu sips his cognac and asks: "Hey boy, why you not eating? My food not good enough for you is it?
"You feel sweat on your chest, where the wire is.
~
8. 👻 An ordinary corridor. Sconces, faded wallpaper, a painting.
"Behind the painting," a voice says.
A button behind the painting. Press it. The wall goes click. A crack appears.
"Now can I go?"
You unspool your spell, and the spirit leaves for her afterlife.
~
9. 🎲 The dice land. "Nine! Woo!" She moves her token, counting every space with a smack.
"What's with you?" they ask her.
"What you mean?" she giggles. She never did know how to play it cool. But she doesn't have to. Under the table, she puts her feet in your lap.
~
10. 🦷 When you took this assignment, they gave you two false molars:
The one in your right cheek is a transmitter -- a signal for Ops to start the evacuation; The one in your left is a cyanide pill, in case of capture.
Or was it the other way around?
Shit.
~
11. 🐉 From heaven a serpentine form, golden and gleaming. Growling like thunder ground out of the earth.
Descending, approaching --
But getting no bigger? Is it shrinking?
It is in front of you, now. It is as big as your forearm -- no, your finger.
"Bite me," it squeaks.
~
12. 🍞 The curfew has gone on for months. You have survived through food shortages, power cuts, rumours of civil unrest.
But now you are in trouble. Now, you enter your second trimester. Now, you crave.
Gardenia white bread.
You will brave cordons to get it.
~
13. 🧎♀️ You are hurrying to your car when somebody calls: "Girl? Girl!"
The voice comes from a red altar under a tree, past the kerb. From a songkok-ed uncle, as tall as your calves.
"Got food ah girl?" the roadside god says. "Two weeks already uncle hasn't eaten."
~
14. 👀 Someone has been pasting googly eyes on your stuff:
Your mailbox in the lobby; The telephone pole in front of your parking spot; The flower pot on the balcony.
Creepy. "It's not me!" your housemate says.
This morning, you find googly eyes on your forehead.
~
15. 🔐 The padlock on your front door is broken.
The door swings open onto an empty living room. On the floor: rectangles of dust, where your shelves and cabinets once stood.
As well as a shred of newsprint. "Take this, Mat!" it says.
Your name's not Mat.
~
16. 🎟️ Pa played the lottery on his birthday. Always with the same numbers: 1406, 2902. Ma's birthday. Yours.
Pa died last week. Yesterday was his birthday. You bought his numbers from the ticket counter.
Today you check the results: "First jackpot: 1406 2902."
~
17. 🦖 Dusting Dr Khoo's shelves, you accidentally knock over a novelty Tyrannosaurus piggy bank.
It shatters on the parquet floor.
There are ceramic shards, change -- and a passport with Dr Khoo's photo. Under a different name. In Cyrillic script.
Uh oh.
~
18. 🍳 Eggs in your cast-iron pan -- the last three eggs you have.
Ina: "What are we going to do for protein, now?"
Gan: "We can search the shophouses in town. Or hope to catch a lizard?"
Ina makes a face. You shrug. With your cast-iron pan, you can cook anything.
~
19. 👻 Knock before you enter a hotel room for the first time. Say: "I'm coming in, okay?" Let its other occupants vacate.
But:You bustled in, dropped the card in its holder, threw your suitcase in the closet, dumped yourself on the bed.
So, now:
Don't look up.
~
20. 🙆♀️ From you balcony, you watch your neighbour in the community playground. She is a dancer. She plays music on portable speakers. She practices pirouettes.
You wish you could work up the courage to talk to her.
She looks up, sees you watching, and waves.
~
21. 🗝️ "The key will open any lock," the goblin said.
The key feels heavy in your hand. Plain and iron. But when you bring it near the queen's jewellery box it shifts: turns silver and intricate.
A skeleton key!
"The key only works once," the goblin said.
~
22. 🎥 You don't like the protesters. So naive. And look at how they've spray-painted the street! Anarchists.
The cops charge with riot shields. They are beating protesters --
What are you doing?
You are recording this on your phone.
A cop points his baton at you.
~
23. 🥳 On your birthday you are surprised at the door. Balloons, food, music to dance to. A party! Laughing, you thank you friends.
"Thank Brian!"
"Brian?" you ask.
"Your cousin Brian?" they say. They point. He smiles and waves back. You don't recognise him.
~
24. 🤦♀️ Your headache gets worse. On day three your vision blurs; you collapse in your bathroom.
You wake to familiar voice: "Hey."
It is your voice. "Don't panic," your doppelganger says. "You're okay." She dried you off, put you in bed. She will not harm you.
~
25. 🍳 You tried to steal from the Pasha. He is magnanimous, and decided not to behead you. Instead, you will serve him.
You will journey into the wastes. You will brave the fire. You will acquire the Phoenix's egg. The Pasha is a gourmand. He wishes to eat it.
~
26. 🐙 "Finding the Perihelion Squid is not a problem," your captain says. "It glows in the water."
Sunset. A ray catches your captain's arm and belly, throwing the sucker-shaped burn marks there into textured relief.
"The problem is fighting it," your captain says.
~
27. 🚦 You stop at the lights. You look at your phone.
Somebody bonks your side-view mirror. "Oi!" you say -- but more people are rushing past. The drivers of the cars in front of you. What are they running from?
Across the intersection, a stampede of water buffalo.
~
28. ™️ "Breath Easy," the billboard says. A beach panorama, with a white family in the foreground: father, mother, daughter -- all three in pastel shirts. Eyes shut, chins up, smiling.
"VitaOX, premium bottled air," the billboard says. "A Sinochem-McDonald's company."
~
29. 🦥 The Colossal Ground Sloth is a geographic enormity.
See that hill, blocking our view of the rising sun? That's not a hill. That's a sloth. It sits, seemingly smiling, covered in trees. When it shudders the birds take flight.
Look: it opens its lake-like eyes.
~
30. 🗽 When the Statue vanishes, America freaks. Who's to blame? Terrorists? SJWs?
Then it turns out the Statue is also missing from all visual media: T-shirts, postcards, patriotic paraphernalia.
The White House settles on its favourite scapegoat -- China.
~
31. 🧩 The map to the Treasure of Sagely Fu is borne on the back of the Divine Tortoise:
Its scutes represent the 38 provinces of the Empire. Its coloration represents the hills and valleys. When Sagely Fu fought the Tortoise, he kicked a chip-mark into its shell.
~
32. 💙 The Heart Of Ice is a crystalline fortress, so high above the sea that the sky is twilight and the air freezes you solid.
There rules the Queen, a goddess of pure and alien elements. If you can make Her shed a tear she will grant you your heart's desire.
~
33. 🌼 The pontianak is a monster -- born when a pregnant woman dies, wronged.
Seeking vengeance, she hunts men. She takes the form of a comely woman. One of her signs is the fragrance of frangipani blossoms.
"Hey," says the bar hostess. She smells of night flowers.
~
34. 🦊 "My foxies," the witch says. "My vulpies."
In her hut are bones, bones, bones. Piled in a bucket. Mounted on display stands. Sniffing your ankle -- fox skeletons, moving as they did in life.
"Can you do cats?" you ask, nodding to the bundle in your arms.
~
35. 🥾 The search parties assemble quietly. A trekker is lost on the mountain. Nobody is happy.
"I told him," one of the guides whisper. "I told him. Don't take anything, I said. You don't know whose things you're taking. But I saw him slip a stone into his pocket."
~
36. 🐬 The pool is still. Park management turns this fountain off at 10pm.
You like walking here, at night. You like the granite dolphins, mid-jump, frozen in time. You toss a coin into the fountain for luck. Clink.
There is a splash. A flash of motion. A fin.
~
37. 📚 In the book you find a letter, in delicate cursive:
"Dear Emily, Bought this book for your birthday. Which is also Valentine's Day. I will never be able to tell you that I love you. So I will never give this book to you. Sara."
Sara is your mother's name.
~
38. 🌲 A postcard of evergreens. A landscape you've only seen in photos.
You stash it in a notebook, stuff that in your bag.
"Over here," Michelle says. She grins, shimmies out of a space between leaning shelves. A box of double-A batteries. Meaning: jackpot.
~
39. 🥡 You bike to the pick-up.
It's a commissary in the middle of an industrial park. The guy at the counter says nothing. Just looks you up and down. He licks his lips.
"What's in this?" you ask, pointing at the takeaway pack.
"Meat," he says. He licks his lips.
~
40. 🎏 The airships of Vo Langka are fish-shaped.
Carp and arowana are most common -- but advances in aeronautics have made wing-form (ie: stingray-like) aircraft possible.
You are a pilot. Today you will test the first ever flying machine made in imitation of a bird.
~
41. 🐗 The boar charges your golf cart. The caddy veers onto the green.
Gunshots!
Your bodyguards down the beast. It came from the forest behind the golf course -- the one you've earmarked for clearing.
It's not the only forest creature that wants to murder you.
~
42. ♻️ Your body slides into the furnace.
Your husband will pick through the ash and bones. Tomorrow he'll take a boat, sail a kilometre out, empty your urn in the sea.
The day after, silver pomfrets will school in a person's shape, and you will see the ocean.
~
43. ✨ It's a clear night. "Honey?" you call. "Come see!"
She whines -- you are tearing her from her work, she says. You insist. You point up.
Orion and the Dipper, the soft shine of the sickle moon.
"Wanna go for a walk?" you ask. She slips her arm into yours.
~
44. ✒️ The auto-pen you own is old. Picks up too much background chatter. The newer pens have noise-cancelling wards.
See? You've stopped dictating, but the pen is still writing:
"NO AH NO IT MOTHER PLEASE IT HURTS MAKE IT STOP"
Hell's not a good muse.
~
45. 🌌 The transitcraft trembles as it descends on its pillar of plasma.
"Sorry you didn't make it," the pilot says. "Cosmofleet is not for everyone." He's trying to be kind. This does not help.
He leaves you on the pad. Here you are, with packed bags, back home.
~
46. 🤫 The librarian drags you under the counter, pale with terror.
You hear the tread of the logovore. The meaning-eater. Books impaled on its spines -- leeched of their ink, their substance, going see-through, disappearing.
It does that to humans, too.
~
47. 🍥 You spit the fish cake out. From surprise, really. Because it is candy.
A confection of flour, sugar, pink food colouring, floating next to beef slices, on the oily surface of the noodles you ordered.
The kitchen makes you a new bowl. The chef is baffled.
~
48. 🛰️ Satellites no longer obey us.
Meteorology reverts to fortune-telling. Intelligence becomes earth-bound. Defense satellites play games of laser tag.
Broadcasting ends -- well, not really. When you turn on your TV it tells you: CALL YOUR MOTHER SHE MISSES YOU.
~
49. 🌿 Where you buried your cat, something is already growing:
A fresh stem of basil, putting out its mild scent; its green, convex leaves.You pluck a leaf, put it in your mouth. Your cat jumps into your lap. You feel her scrape your finger with her tongue.
~
50. 🐸 The Weed Toad sprouts spiky fur filled with chlorophyll. Basically: it's a frog with grass on its back. It can be a pest.
When you step into your garden something squeaks.The toad jumps away, incensed. Its siblings hop off, too. Your whole lawn, leaving you.
~
51. 👾 Pixel Goblins are voxeloids, walking about in waking life. Refugees from a reality whose servers shut down two years ago.
They eat electricity. They line the sidewalk. "Hungry," the Pixel Goblin says. She looks at your phone, hopeful.
You have 11% battery left.
~
52. ✴️ "I am chaos!" the boy shrieks. "A conduit of magick!"
You can hear that hard "k" from here. Baldie in an Invisibles tee and factory-distressed jeans, thinks he knows magic? Please.
Then he pisses on your headstone. Which is rude. So you possess him.
~
53. 👣 Footprints, made with oil. They cut across the driveway, onto the grass, leaving rainbow sludge on some clovers. They turn the corner of your house.
You turn the corner, too.
In front of you, the prints have stopped, side by side. Their toes now face you.
~
54. 🐷 In the middle of his emergency pandemic address, during a live broadcast, on national television --
The Prime Minister oinks.
He blinks. Clears his throat, looks at the teleprompter -- and oink-oink-oinks.
The PM's eyes blink tears. Then the broadcast cuts out.
~
55. 🌙 Can we trust the moon?
See its phases -- the way it goes from a bright circle, wanes into a crescent, shuts completely, then opens again, waxing half into full --
Like a creature blinking: slowly, ever so slowly.
The moon has not looked directly at us. Yet.
~
56. 🌺 You tuck a hibiscus in her hair. "It's pretty!" you say, before she reacts. "Plus it's patriotic."
She rolls her eyes.
Day after the party she wants to meet you. That makes you happy. She's not happy. The flower's driven a root into flesh, behind her ear.
~
57. 🍜 This bowl of noodles, made from soup powder, desiccated ramen, the last remaining tomato in the fridge, one overcooked egg --
It's the most delicious thing you've ever tasted.
This shouldn't be possible. You cry. You'll never have anything this good again.
~
58. 🥦 "This," Mother says. "This needs to be half-size."
You know this moment. The kitchen was never your thing. You made an excuse and left to play videogames in your room. Two days later Mother died. Car accident.
This time you stay. You cut the floret in two.
~
59. 🌵 The Blood Prickle's blossom is prized by cities that border the Pebble Sea. Dried, smoked, its fume delivers accurate prophecies.
The Blood Prickle only blossoms when watered by the viscera of living creatures. You lead your herd of sheep into the desert.
~
60. 🕸️ The bungalow is covered in gossamer, like a suitcase shrink-wrapped at the airport. Shreds stick to you, glue.
"Go away!" the bungalow's owner says. You see her eight eyes peer at you from a window.
"Babe, please," you say.
"Stop stalking me!" she shouts.
~
61. 🐼 The ghost bear waddles across the plaza and through a wall.
They felled a forest to build this strip mall. But they did not exorcise its ghost. Ghost vines hang from the ceiling. Ghost trees fill changing rooms. In the car park a ghost brook babbles, incoherently.
~
62. 🕯️ You blow out the candle. "Happy birthday!"
Your friends have grey hair. Others dance to Kelly's playlist. Something in your brain snaps -- you do not know how old you are.
There is only one candle on the cake. It tells you: you are however old you want to be.
~
63. 🍥 At the bottom of an empty paint bucket in your backyard shed, you discover a giant millipede, dark red, curled into a spiral.
You name her Millie. Obviously.
You boyfriend is disgusted. Slightly jealous of the attention you allot her. He was always insecure.
~
64. 🍡 The city is a shadow. Office towers in shards. Hypermalls with their skybridges broken. Collapsed nightclubs.
In the midst of all this, on an overgrown street, incongruously -- the smell of boiling soup. Fry-oil. Fish balls. A lok lok truck, greasy and pristine.
~
65. ✨ The light in her eyes die when you tell her to leave.
You lose your job at the production house. Once again, you are a freelancer. Interviewers pooh-pooh your portfolio.
You will learn how to draw again. Your muse was a crutch. You must do this on your own.
~
66. 🔮 Everything is as kitschy as you expect. Fake-velvet curtains and tablecloth. A set of tarot cards from Etsy. Even a crystal ball!
But when the fortune-teller looks up and sees you, she says: "No no, out."
What?
"You. No. Get out," she says, afraid.
~
67. 🥵 Ten laps in the pool. Then you pant to the sauna.
Stones sizzle as you open the door. Somebody is here, already. You take the opposite bench. He has an athlete's thighs. Sweat on his obliques make them look oiled.
He looks you up and down. Smirks. Judges.
~
68. 🗨️ In the kitchen Khan grunts. Khan being Khan, you think.
Sylvia comes in. She makes an oinking sound.
He grunts. She oinks again. Hoot-hoot. He hisses in reply. It appears to be a conversation.
Sylvia sees you staring. Waves a hand in your face, asks: "Moo?"
~
69. 👹 "They are going to hate me," she says, frowning around her tusks."
They are going to love you," you say.
In her nervousness she walks up to the microphone, no intro, just launches right into it. Her poem is electric. She is electric. And she is yours.
~
70. ⚛️ Guards, gyrocopter patrols -- Coilhaus Atomworks’s compound is well-protected. Which is as you expected.
You didn't expect the hex-wards in the inner compound. When you set foot on the manager's balcony, the teak floor shrieks: INTRUDER INTRUDER INTRUDER HERE!
~
71. 🌂 The Bum Under The Overpass jumps out. You yelp.
"Flee, peasant!" he growls. He reeks. He has a bin lid for a buckler, a brolly for a sword. "I shall shield ye against yon creature!"
You peer into the dark under the overpass -- and notice the hulking shadow there.
~
72. 💀 The captain wears a cutesy plastic skull on a silver chain. You don't think it fits with her camo grease, her fatigues.
"My daughter made this," she says.
You nod. You miss your son, too. All this -- the pay you earn, burning villages -- you do for your children.
~
73. 🦧 "Orangutan Kong". Some sort of gangster moniker?
No. Kong is actually an orangutan. He escaped from the Zoo, and started working in Goldtooth Tat's crew. As comic relief. Everybody who laughed at him is dead now.
If you want to work for him you should know.
~
74. 🧠 The robot ploughs through Market Street. Tiles scatter like confetti; cars are stomped flat. Pressure in your ears -- a thunder clap! The police van up the road explodes.
"There!" your partner shouts, pointing. A brain in a glowing jar, in the robot's belly.
~
75. 💈 You grew up here.The broom, the hair -- the chairs, Naugahyde over industrial frames. The mirrors, angled slightly, either side leading into infinity. The sink where Uncle Kuppu rinsed his razors and shaving brush.
Uncle Kuppu's gone. This place is yours, now.
~
76. ⚗️ The alchemist stumbles backwards, knocks over a beaker.
"My formula," he whispers. "You're an assassin from the Bankers’ Guild? You can't have me turning lead to gold."
You shake your head. "No. I work with the Silversmiths' Guild. I'm here to protect you."
~
77. 🔭 It is the fourth victim he has brought home.
They are always young, with tattoos. He restrains them, strangles them by the neck on the floor of his bathroom.
You watch, through your telescope. You should report him. But you like to watch them struggle.
~
78. ⛩️ The way to Grand Andropolis is lined with 417 red gates -- each one for a glorious victory the Imperial Legions have won over lesser races.
Gate 412 marks the time they slaughtered your parents. You touch it, and swear quietly: you will burn Grand Andropolis.
~
79. 🌻 The men at the big table drink beer, munch kuaci, laugh.
A woman with sunglasses arrives. The restaurant people tell her: "Kitchen closed already. Drinks?"
Just kuaci, she says.
She watches the men. When she bites the seeds open, you see long canines.
~
80. 🤖 You've never considered yourself technosexual. You thought robots cold. Then you met MARY-K8.
Her bright crystal optic sensors. Her omni-articulated limbs. Her way with words:
"HEY HUMAN USER," she synthesises. "HEART-UNIT NOT FOUND. PERHAPS YOU HAVE IT?"
~
81. 🦖 "The job is a museum," your master sighs. "Museum's are the worst."
You ask him why.
"We are exorcists, dumb-dumb! You know how many things the damn spirit can hide in? Can throw at us?"
When you master sees the T-rex skeleton in the atrium, he sighs again.
~
82. 🎍 Treaties signed between the Yun Empress and the Princes of Elemental Wood have resulted in the Type-4 Rhizomic Footsoldier --
A stiff, lanky construct; needing only sun and soil; grown in vast groves; with souls of bamboo and therefore without mercy ...
~
83. 🧜♀️ Each year, the mer send an emissary to bargain with the dry world.
The tide swells, then withdraws just as quick, leaving a carriage of driftwood and flowering coral --
"Dammit!" a voice says. Rattling, from within. "Door's stuck!" A sigh. "Some help, please?"
~
84. 🧠 "You're always going on about life hacks. So here," Mark says.
His gift is a book. "Telekinesis In 100 Days", its title says.
Mark smirks. "Enjoy!"
You'll show the bastard! It's just day 13. Already you can toss 50-cent coins with a lift of your eyebrow.
~
85. 📯 The footmen blow their horns. The herald crows: "The Tyrant and Lady van Sur!"
They descend the stairs. The man frail, tubes stuck up his nose; the woman in silk, her wig so heavy it is held up by grav-suspensors --
One push of your remote, and the suspensors fail.
~
86. 🥶 You jolt awake. Ice is pressed to your ankle -- no, chilled skin. A toenail. Feet.
"Jesus. Your feet."
His apology is a snorted murmur. He curls further, pressing into the heat of your belly. His hair tussled, smelling of lavender.
What's his name? Can you remember?
~
87. 🚪 The heavy door is shut. Padlocked. Your lock sprite shakes her head. "Mechanism's rusted solid."
Your spell-dwarf grumbles. "Lead brackets, see? Shock hex won't work."
"Lemme try," your slip-spirit squeaks. Flattens itself, slips under.
Doesn't came back.
~
88. 🌵 The Saguaro Sea is a vast tangle of sole-cutting rock, thorny brush, towering cacti broad as hillforts.
Here is found the Weeping Roc -- whose cry is a woman wailing; who steals children to feed its blind, featherless chicks.Children like your six-year-old.
~
89. 💃 Flamenco star Magritte Tanaka's talent is such that people say it is more than just grace and training.
They say she made a bargain. When she dances a devil helps her; plays her like a puppet on strings.
Truth is he forces her. She never wanted to dance.
~
90. 🎸 You stole the keytar of synth legend Razzak Luminem from the Museum of Sidereal Art last month.
Tonight you host its auction. Many have shown up: demon worshipers; glamrock stars; violist perverts; members of the Critics' Cartel -- troublemakers.
Watch yourself.
~
91. 🙆♀️ To fear the sky falling is silly --
Except in Fading Dassho, whose most dilapidated districts sit twilit under an obsolete stellar shield, its support struts increasingly ancient and tottery. A shutter collapsed, just last week -- shattering six thousand souls.
~
92. 🤖 We sent unmanned drones through the Hell-portal; we assumed exposure to Ultimate Evil would be bad for the human psyche.
All moot, it turned out. Because drones are robots -- and, you know, that cliche about robots turning bad, turning KILL ALL HUMANS?
Well.
~
93. 🏚️ A manor-turned-hotel, on a cliff, with a history of homicide? TrueCrimeFest 2018's organisers could not resist.
Three days of signings, panels, cosplay -- and a podcaster found garroted in her room.
Horrible! Horrible. (But, really: Best. TrueCrimeFest. Ever.)
~
94. 🤪 The Rictus Worm causes paralysis. Distorts the muscles of the face.
Your eyes pop, your tongue hangs lolling. You speak drool and sputters. You try the chirurgeon. He thinks you are fooling. Kicks you out.
The Rictus Worm is rare. You feel it in your nape.
~
95. 🌌 One by one the stars disappear. Without their light -- were they ever there?Constellations vanish, nebulae fade. The moon hangs alone in the night sky.
Only our sun and its huddling planets remain. An isolated, solipsistic, self-obsessed apocalypse.
~
96. 🤗 She welcomes you with open arms. "Happy you're home, Ah Boy," she says, kissing you, Tears on her cheek transferring to yours.
She is your mother; she calls you Ah Boy. Return appropriate amounts of affection. Your mission depends on how well you fool this woman.
~
97. 🅱️ The mark is made in red ink. The letter "B". Not so bad, outsiders might think --but yours is an euphemistic society.
This is the Competency Test, through which all citizens are streamed. An "A" means you get to stay above-ground. A "B" sends you Below.
~
98. 🎡 Anna gets into the pod before you. The ferris wheel begins to turn.
Travelling carnivals! Holdovers from a previous world, now surmounted by app-stores. You don't get the appeal. It's not even ironic --
High up, in the pod, Anna kisses you.
Now you get it.
~
99. ☄️ You still remember your wonder --
A bright blue star, trailing a bright line, bisecting the sky. Staring at it would spoil your eyes, they said.
In your cockpit, as the countdown begins, you think: now you will be a bright blue star. There will be a young girl on the ground, watching.
~
100. 🥑 When you halve the avocado you don't find a seed. You find a tiny baby.
It is curled up foetal. It is the colour of mahogany. It fusses slightly -- then starts into a full-blown caterwaul; big droplets of blood well from where your rough knifework has nicked it.

How many times a day do you talk on the phone with your significant other?: I’m single.
Other than English, what was the last language spoken to you?: That’s it. It’s the only language my family and I speak.
What math level are you currently taking/did you last take in school?: The last math I took was stats several years ago in community college.
Who was the last person to ask you for relationship advice?: It’s been a longggg time. I used to be the friend that friends would come to for advice on that kinda stuff, which was always interesting since I was the one with like no relationship experience (very, very little). Still, I think I gave pretty good advice back then.
Do you have a sleeping problem?: I have insomnia. I also can’t sleep lying completely flat, I have to be propped up a little.
Have you ever taken a survey with a friend, listing both answers?: Back in the Myspace days I did that sometimes with my cousin.
Where would you order your favorite burger from?: I’m not a big burger person to be honest.
Who have you been hanging out with most often these days?: Just my family.
Do you know a guy who has hair longer than yours?: No.
What color was the last cup you drank out of?: It’s a clear glass.
If you’re in school, what do you do to fill in time between classes?:
Do you have friends in your classes?
When did you last encounter someone you disliked? There isn’t anyone in my life that I don’t like.
Ever been to a real haunted house?: Not to my knowledge.
Where was the last place you got lost?: Hmm. I don’t recall.
What windows are open on your desktop right now?: Just this one. It has 6 tabs, though.
When was the last time you had cheesecake?: I think it was my birthday last year. :O That’s too long ago.
When you last shed tears, was it because of a person?: Partially, but it was other things mostly.
Which music artists were at the last concert you attended?: Green Day.
What was the last thing you discussed through text messages?: My brother was telling me something. He was just in the other room, but sometimes we’ll text each other instead if we don’t want to shout what we’re sharing or get up hahah.
How many songs are on your iPod/MP3 player?: I just use Spotify on my phone. Not sure how many songs are on my main playlist, but there’s 53 hours and 21 minutes of music on it.

Have you ever had a significant other whose parents didn’t like you?: All parents loved me.
What’s so unique about your computer?: The wallpaper I have? haha. *shrug* It’s a MacBook Air (2017), a lot of people have it.
How was life for you six months ago?: Wow, November. That feels like 84 years ago. Omg, look how much has changed in just six months. Back in November we weren’t in a pandemic. The world wasn’t shutdown. We had NO idea what we were in store for. We were all like, “woo 2020!” I had never even heard of Coronavirus and now that word is engrained into my mind.
How much is gas in your area?: Not sure, but I’ve heard it’s been quite cheap during all this.
What’s something interesting you learned in the past week?: Hmm.
Do you know what you plan to do for your next birthday?: Something lowkey at home with my family. Can’t really do a whole lot. I don’t see it being any better in July. I know things are slowing opening up through phases and whatnot, but still. We’re still in the midst of it. The numbers are still off the charts. I’m not one of the people flocking out now that things are slowly opening up. I’m terrified to be completely honest. Tomorrow I have a doctor appointment, which will be the first outing I’ve had in a little over 3 months and I’m scared.
Was the last book you read for fun or assignment related?: For fun. I’m not in school, so there are no assignments or anything. I just love to read.

@wooyuong inna inna inna... you are the one i was the most intimidated by. literally everyone i know already knew you, even people not in atinyblr knew you and i once posted that i wanted to be friends with you and then immediately deleted the post because i was scared you’d see it. but it turns out you’re not scary, you’re infact very cute and adorable and lovable and i might adopt you. ily 💚

tagged by @anathenma WOO GIRL <3
rules: tag 10 followers you want to get to know better
name: Lauren
gender: Female
star sign: Virgo Sun || Leo Moon || Leo Ascendent, which basically means I have the usually quiet reserved personality of an analytical, organised virgo on the fact of things, am usually the goofy, chill friend amongst my friends, and don’t like to take anyone’s shit, but if I am disrespected, I’m a sensitive six foot flower and withdraw from the world until I can get over it. xD I don’t like conflict.
height: 183cm/6 feet
age: 27 (YIKES XD)
wallpaper on my phone: (I had to check XD) A calendar of May 2020 stylistically arranged around ribbons
house: Slytherin
ever crush on a teacher: Both my parents and my uncle are teachers and consequently I knew every teacher in my school as actual human people and not ‘crushes’ growing up. So no. XD
coolest halloween costume: I went as the Starbucks logo one year when I was eight, a gigantic Lady Luck die one year with a top hat covered in poker chips and cards. I had some good ones I made: I was creative as fuck when I was 9-11 especially, and I had to be, because I was already around 5′7 and people assumed I was just some weirdo dressing up to get candy (Hearing ‘AREN’T YOU A LITTLE OLD TO BE TRICK OR TREATING’ at eleven CRUSHED me XD)
Favorite 90s tv show:
Okay. So there’s one’s I watched actually as a child of the 90s, and ones that were just always ON in the 90s that I ended up watching. It’s debatable whether these are actually good NOW. XD
That being said, the background ones were Saved By the Bell (ZACH MORRIS IS TRAAAAassssh~~), Boy Meets World, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond.
As a kid, I loved the Aladdin Animated Series, The Hercules Animated Series, CHIP AND DALE RESCUE RANGERS (Which didn’t really hold up sadly but still has the best theme song of all time, fight me), and Timon and Pumbaa.
One I rarely caught but really liked was All That, The Wonder Years, Sabrina the Teenage Witch- occasionally Fresh Prince.
Out of all of these, I still have a super fond spot for Saved By the Bell, especially with the ‘Zach Morris is Trash’ series on Youtube (Seriously, go watch it. It’s fucking hilarious and basically breaks down how much of a serial killer in the making Zach Morris is XD). The clothing is ridiculous and no one really dressed like that in the early 90s outside of commercials and TV (unfortunately). Maybe one shoddy item out of the bunch. Meanwhile Saved by the Bell is like LETS PUT IT ALL ON. XD It was terrible once they got to college, but it was stupid and fun and made me feel ‘cool’ watching it because I was like three and being like, “YEAH, IT’S BRIGHT AND THESE PEOPLE ARE COOL AND I CAN FOLLOW THE PLOT. I’M MATURE.” XD It’s literally still the only one of these I actively watch now in the form of Zach Morris is Trash, so I’ll go with it. xD
Last kiss: Never had a consensual kiss. Make of that what you will. xD
Have you ever been stood up: Nope.
Favourite pair of shoes:
I have terrible plantar fasciitis from sports, so I’m a shoe snob, and have to have properly fitting/constructed shoes. It depends on what I’m doing in them, really. I got a pair of trail running shoes for trail running during COVID, but they’re not the most aesthetically pleasing. I’d say the best mixture between comfort and style are either a good ol’pair of black ankle boots with a slight heel (so I can be 6′2 and intimidate people with my height muhahahaha), or more practically on a day to day basis, I have a pair of Reeboks that are 90s-styled with pastel pink and blue triangles on the side. They’re pretty dope. xD
have you ever been to vegas: No, but my parents have. Basically, they said you tire of shopping after two days, and then you’re just stuck inside hotels and shopping malls there. If you’re not a gambler, drinker, or have a ton of money to splash out on stage shows, I don’t think it’s particularly worth going.
favorite fruit: Mango or raspberry, but they’re super-expensive in the land of Maple Syrup so I usually don’t get them any other way other than frozen in smoothies.
Favourite book:
I could never choose a favourite book. It’s literally like choosing between children. It���s my microcosmic version of Sophie’s Choice. xD Tasteless joke aside, it’d honestly depend on the occasion. There’s a huge difference between entertainment reading, literary exploits, and educating yourself through books as a whole.
My ‘plane’ book (which I’m terrible at flying, so that was a joke), as in, an easy, fun, instantly rereadable read to read on the plane when I used to have super long fifteen hour flights to Australia, was always Mario Puzo’s ‘The Godfather,’ because I also had a huge crush on Michael Corleone.
But it’s also not the ‘best’ book and literally spends an inordinate and honestly disturbing amount of time on the fact that this poor woman in the story (which thankfully in the film, it gets cut down), but the bridesmaid Sonny Corleone has sex with, and how you see his wife indicating his ‘size’?
THAT’S LITERALLY AN ENTIRE SUBPLOT OF THIS BROAD’S STORY I SHIT YOU NOT BECAUSE NOTHING IS ‘BIG’ ENOUGH FOR HER AFTER HIM AND THEN YOU FIND OUT SHE HAS A MEDICAL CONDITION AND GOOD FOR HER SHE’S ABLE TO FIND LOVE AGAIN BUT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MARIO PUZO XD IT WAS A LOT OKAY.
(Footnote: I also suffered through his horrific sequels because I love Michael Corleone and will take him in any form he comes in, even horrifically written Sicilian backhill exploits that were never told to us in the original book and were clearly just written because Puzo needed another pay check but I digress.)
Horrific subplots aside, I really enjoy The Godfather for its sheer pulpiness. The book is essentially what Andrew Lloyd Weber is to musicals. xD (Yes, I come with musical theatre burns. Fight me.)
In terms of a piece of literature that I think is amazingly well done? Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, or Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
Stupidest thing you ever done:
Um, maybe when I was at Cambridge I tried to dye my roots to match the rest of my ‘blonde’ hair at the time, and it turned out bright orange? And because it’s Cambridge, they had this super-strict attendance policy, so I was literally trying not to hyperventilate because it was running close to class (which was across campus) and I was trying to find some way to remedy my hair without it falling out/ someone asking about it. So, I grabbed a toque-cap-thing despite it being literally one of the hottest summer on record in the UK (It was like 35 degrees, it was MENTAL), and had to sprint to class all the way on the other side of campus from my college dodging dodgy tourist groups blocking the sidewalk while I went. Then when I sat down inside, I had to be weirdly rude and wear my hat inside the lecture hall even though the professor was looking at me (it was a specialised program in German Literature) like, “Are you going to take that shit off?” xD THEN I tried to dye it back to brown, and it literally looked like mud mixed with a runny egg had exploded on the top of my head; it was AWFUL. XD So FINALLY I did my research and found a salon, but by THAT point I had done 250 pounds worth of damage to my hair (WHICH IS LIKE 400 DOLLARS CANADIAN AT THE TIME), and I almost had a heart attack and thanked my lucky stars that I had money put away so I could give my parents the ‘parent price’ when they asked why they hadn’t seen me on FaceTime or Skype for like, three weeks, and I replaced my face with a photo of John Cleese from Fawlty Towers, which they tease me about to this day. xD
The other dumbest thing I ever said was when I was so desperate for friends in grade six when I moved to a new school (and because being American was ‘cool’ at the time, apparently), I told everyone I was a dual citizen because my mother LITERALLY GAVE BIRTH TO ME ON THE BORDER CROSSING WHAT. XD And bless this poor bespectacled girl named Mara (who was actually a little class friend of mine), who just said timidly in the back, “That’s not how citizenship works.” xD It basically came out of attempting to be cool and failing, but I’m still SO embarrassed about THAT one that I’d never admit it to ANYONE besides shouting it out into the Tumblr black hole. xD I’m still embarrassed to THIS DAY.
All time favorite shows:
I’ll go for the original run of The Twilight Zone, which has some schmaltzy episodes (I’m really not a fan of any of the episodes entirely dedicated to the Space Race or the weird cowboy fanaticism of the fifties/ sixties, or anything that’s overtly like “ALIENS DID IT SO THERE”), but I LOVE their psychological horror episodes or Dystopian episodes. It’s when Rod Serling’s writing and narrative voice is the strongest and most prophetic, and the twists are usually the best. Other shows have tries to imitate it, or reboot it, but I really think the original, due to Rod Serling’s unmatchable voice, in every sense of the word. There’s lists of some of the greatest episodes, but I remember LOVING the episode ‘A Stop at Willoughby.’ The twist literally made me clap my hands in horror and delight, it was amazing. xD
Other than that? Off the top of my head, Mad Men and Band of Brothers, even though I haven’t rewatched either in ages.
last movie you saw in theaters:
Oh God, before all THIS hit? Probably Rise of Skywalker. I get agoraphobic and itchy if a movie theatre is too busy, and we only have really pokey sort of ones nearby that you’re guaranteed to see someone you went to high school with (terrible), so now that I can properly drive I go out to the big redneck theatre out in the boonies. I miss living in Montreal though, because when you live in a big city like that downtown (and can actually afford to live there), you could see blockbuster movies at like ten in the morning. xD Which would be AMAZING because I’d go to see any of the early Avengers/Marvel movies when they opened, the day of opening, and it was literally me, one old man who fell asleep halfway through and sat near the back, and maybe an elderly couple on a morning date to the movies. xD I get really annoyed with obnoxious movie-goers, and I’m really picky about just being completely absorbed in the movie, so I tend not to go unless I’m guaranteed that space.
tagging: Anyone who wishes to tag me back so I can learn about them <3
#meme#well god this was embarrassing#still hope you found something of interest in there though xD#personal#I indented the longer answers so this was somewhat cohesive

Could you write something with obiyuki plus getting themselves into awkward situations, cuz honestly these dorks have no idea what's going on 95% of the time.
(Part 2 of If Thy Set Thine Heart to Wooing)
It’s never been Obi’s job to be the center of attention, not as long as he’s been with Master. Not before it either.
He might have caused a distraction or two – knocking over barrels, setting free horses, and on one memorable occasion, scaring a whole coop of chicken – but his place has always been the shadows, unnoticeable as wallpaper. It’s been him that would wander into the kitchen for a hot bun and the freshest gossip, or share a drink with the off-duty guards and come back with a head full of the latest rumors. He’s the one people talk to, the one they trust with their thoughts and forget about when he leaves.
He’s not supposed to be the one rumors are about.
He’s not supposed to be seen at all.
Obi only suspects when he walks into the mess one evening and all conversation hushes.
That’s not – not strictly true. He had noticed the guards‘ chatter hitting a lull when he passes them on the walls, how ladies he passed would lean toward each other and whisper behind soft hands, how –
How suddenly he would walk into the pharmacy, and all that would greet him were glares.
“Obi!” Miss’s smile pulls tight when she sees him, clutching her books to her chest. Things have been different between them of late, almost awkward. He’s not sure what’s changed, but it’s like – like he has too many limbs around her and not enough words. There’s a gulf between them, and he doesn’t know how to fill it, how to cross it.
“I didn’t –” She ducks her head, cheeks flushed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “I was just on my way to the – the stockroom!”
“Oh.” The word falls dumbly from his lips. His hands sit by his side, useless. “I could go with you. Reach the things on the high shelves.”
“I –” Her eyelashes flutter like frantic heartbeats against her cheeks. “I’ll be fine. Izuru said they fixed the ladder.”
He laughs, and even to his own ears it sounds forced. “And you trust it?”
“Ah…” Her gaze skitters around him, settling somewhere past his shoulder. “I should – I’ll see you at dinner.”
He grimaces; tonight is his extra session with Haki. “I took an extra shift –”
“Right!” She slips right past him. “You’re – busy. Of course. I’ll…see you.”
Obi stares after her, lost. He’s not quite sure how he cocked up that conversation, but clearly he’s got a gift.
“What are you doing?” Suzu mutters, grinding his seeds with more force than Obi thinks is strictly necessary.
He blinks. “What?”
“What. Are. You. Doing?” He’s never seen Suzu angry – upset, yes, dramatically wailing in front of the university bulletin, of course, but angry? Never.
He’s not, not now, but there’s a hint of it in the way he looks at Obi, like he’d glare if he didn’t like him so much.
“With Shirayuki?” He sighs, shaking his head. “I wish I knew. She won’t –”
“No,” Suzu snaps. “With Mistress Haki.”
“Oh,” Haki yawns, offering him one of the mugs of chocolate her ladies have brought them. “You hadn’t heard those?”
“Wha?” He gapes, accepting the cup with boneless hands. he hardly even noticed how the ceramic burns at his finger tips. “You did?”
“It was bound to happen.” She shakes out her hair. It’s too long for anything but a civil fight, but Obi knows Haki’s more likely to take a roll with a stable boy than cut it.
“Bound to happen.”
“Of course.” She shrugs. “You’re a handsome, young, inappropriate man. I’m a beautiful, young, proper lady.”
He snorts. “Humble too.”
“False humility is not a virtue,” she snips, savoring a sip of her chocolate. “In any case – you’re my guard, people see us alone together, we get on…it was only a matter of time before someone suggested that your extra hours with me were spent in bed.”
He groans.
“Figuratively, of course,” she assures him. “The rumors put us as quite adventurous. You wouldn’t believe –”
He holds up a hand with a wince. “I’m pretty sure I’d rather not know, your ladyship.”
“Boo,” she says, lips twitching. “You’re no fun at all.”
“You should do something,” her ladyship says, as he makes for the door.
“Hm? Do what?”
She sighs, rolling her eyes aloft. “Do something about Shirayuki.”
He scrubs a hand over his face. “My lady –”
“Obi,” she says, carefully setting aside her mug. “I will be most disappointed in you if our lessons stretch long past these rumors.”
“That doesn’t –”
“Of course it does.” She gives him a warning look. “Sometimes, Obi, humility itself is not a virtue either. Just stupidity.”
Raised voices seep through even the thick door to the walls. Obi hesitates, hand hovered over where he keeps his knives – if he’s about to walk into an altercation, it’s best to be prepared for the worst –
Only to find Jirou standing over two recruits, spitting thunder like an angry god.
“W-we didn’t mean to, sir,” one of them stammers. they both stand a head above their commanding officer, but they cower like he’s twice as tall, wincing as he claps his hands to startle them into looking at him.
“It doesn’t matter what you meant to do, now does it?”
The other recruit swallows hard, rubbing sweat from his brow. “We didn’t – we didn’t know Lady Shirayuki –”
Obi throws the door open, making sure it slams against stone. “What’s that about Miss Shirayuki?”
Both their eyes go wide. “C-captain!”
Jirou frowns at the both of them. “You’re both on late shift for a month. And I don’t want to catch you two at this again.”
Obi trusts his second, but he still has to stop himself from calling the boys back and demanding answers. “What’s that all about?”
“Mistress Shirayuki was waiting for you down at the door to get off shift,” Jirou tells him.
He raises his eyebrows. “Shirayuki?” She’d been doing her best to all but avoid him for weeks now.
“Yeah. And apparently those two idiots have heard the latest rumors –” Jirou sends him a meaningful look – “and were…indiscreet with their words.”
“Indiscreet?” One day he’ll be able to do more than act as his second’s echo, but it’s not today.
“There was some speculation about the nature of your service.” Jirou clears his throat, lips twitching. “And a little about the position and duration.”
Obi scrubs a hand over his face. Ai yai yai. “And Miss heard all that?”
“It was flattering, at least,” he assures him, like somehow that will make it better. “I found them at it, didn’t even know Miss Shirayuki was there until she made a run for it.”
He stares. “Miss? Make a run for it?” She was more likely to give recruits an earful about spreading gossip.
“It was…graphic,” Jirou allows, with the sort of expression that tells Obi he’s feigning thoughtfulness to disguise his needling. “Maybe it upset her delicate sensibilities.”
Obi snorts. Miss is fresh out of those.
“Well, as you wish,” he sighs. “Though I have to say, she looked pretty…overcome by the whole thing.”
“Overcome?” He remembers her, out in the snow, the face she made when he called Haki mistress –
His mouth curls in a grin. “You don’t say.”
This late, the labs are empty, all the lamps extinguished – save for the one on the fifth storey, where he can see a slender shadow cast against the glass.
Obi huffs out a laugh, swinging from grated window to the next, boots digging into the icy stones of the university for toeholds. If his miss doesn’t want to be found, she might consider making her habits less obvious. After all –
He hesitates. But what if – what if she want to be found?
What if she wanted to be found by him.
He nearly misses a handhold thinking about it.
A mixture of snow and wind make opening the window with any level of stealth impossible. Instead he rolls into it, letting the wrought-iron frame bang noisily against the wall, watching her jump, whirling to see him crouched in the window –
And nearly dropping her beaker.
“Ah, it’s a good thing I’m here, Miss,” he sighs, setting the sloshing glass safely on her bench. “You’ll lose hours of work if you’re not more careful.”
Her mouth works soundlessly as he circles back to the window, flipping the lock shut. “Obi – what –?”
He leans, so casual, against her bench. “I hear you were looking for me?”
“O-oh.” She ducks her head, and in the chiaroscuro the lamplight casts, he can’t tell whether her cheeks pink shyly or not. “I thought you were still o-occupied…” Her gaze flicks up as she adds, “with your mistress.”
He grins.
“My mistress?” he manages, so even, as he steps closer. “Oh yes. She’s certainly been putting me through my paces.”
Her pained expression almost makes him give up the game; he doesn’t want to hurt her, not even if the cut is fictional, but –
She tosses her head, lifting her eyes to meet his, and all he can see in her is a challenge. “Good. I’m happy for you, Obi. That you’ve gotten what you want.”
He hums, taking yet another step closer. “You know, Miss, I’ve been chasing her for years,” he admits, conversational. If she could hear his heart, she’d know it was anything but.
She shuffles back, gaze faltering. “Years?”
“Oh, yes.” His mouth twitches. “I just always thought she was unattainable. Meant for far better than me, to be sure.”
Her mouth pulls flat, eyes taking that determined shine that had compromised his heart, so many years ago. It would have been easier not to love her, if what he loved wasn’t the core of who she was. “No one is better than you, Obi. You’ve always been – deserving.”
He falters on his next step, and there must be something about him that seems stricken, since she quickly changes tack.
“And she is…” Miss’s lips pinch. “Very beautiful.”
“Mm,” he says, closer. She hedges back. “That’s true. Though I’ll admit, it’s not what drew me to her.”
“And she’s very tall.”
“To some, I suppose.”
“And – and womanly.”
His gaze drags over her, for once letting himself linger at the slim curve of her hips and the gentle slope of her breast, showing the barest hint of his desire. “I’ve never had any complaints on that front, sure.”
His miss, of course, doesn’t notice.
“And –” her mouth twists – “and blonde.”
“Oh,” he murmurs as her back hits the table. “I don’t know about that one.”
She glances up at him, brow furrowed, but undeterred. “And it seems like you enjoy –” she licks her lips, awkward – “servicing her.”
Her cheeks flush as her words catch up to her. “I mean, being in her service.”
“Oh, Miss,” he purrs, resting his hands on either side of her, bending close. “I haven’t gotten to that yet, but I’m certain there’s no one else I’d rather…yield service too.”
She’s red from neck to brow when she hazards a glance at him, and for a moment all he sees is heat, and then she lowers her head again, and he –
He takes his chance.
Her lips are just as soft, just as sweet as he had thought they might be. She stiffens at first blush, fingers clenching in his coat, but in the next she melts, she blossoms, and she – she –
She opens her mouth against his, surging up to meet his kiss. He staggers back to hold her, hands flexing against her hips, drawing her in closer. Her arms lift, winding around his neck, every soft part of her resting against a hard part of him, and he can’t help crushing her close, his hands stroking her back, burying themselves in her hair.
Her breath stutters across his lips as he pulls away, eyes fluttering open to half-mast.
“Shirayuki,” he murmurs, hand palming down her flank. “I only have one mistress.”
“Then…” Her face is the perfect study of pleased confusion. “We haven’t been talking about Haki?”
He leans in, relishing how her head tips to meet his. “No.”
Zakura makes his excuses after a single bout.
“I have important work to be doing, Your Majesty,” he reminds him with a grin, mopping the sweat from his brow. “You’re to be married in a week, if you haven’t forgotten.”
“Ah, thank you,” Izana drawls, sheathing his blade. “Seeing as Mother hasn’t reminded me in the last quarter hour, I have drawn dangerously close to forgetting.”
His aide sweeps a dramatic bow. “All part of the many services I provide.”
“Just go.” Izana waves at him dismissively, in the way he knows Zakura hates. “You’re boring me with all this wedding talk.”
“I live to serve,” Zakura deadpans, sauntering out the doors.
The room is cavernous now that it is empty, and Izana presses a hand to the weapons rack, steadying himself. A king rarely has time for leisure, but with the wedding looming close, and having started the preliminaries for his brother’s own political courtship dance – he’s hardly had time to breathe.
A king does not have the luxury of falling apart. Not when he has so much yet to do.
The door barks on it hinges as it swings open, and in a single breath Izana is whole again, turning with a smirk. “Honestly, is there no one else you can annoy at this –”
The words quickly die in his throat. His visitor is not Zakura.
“Oh my.” Boot heels click enticingly across the marble floor. “We are not even yet married, and already you tire of me, Your Majesty?”
“I…” His wit is his sharpest weapon, but it abandons him now as his fiancée strolls across the floor, not in her usual fashionable gowns, but in – in buckskins and blouse, waistcoat expertly tailored to sit at the top of her hips, drawing his gaze between the curve of her breast and the curve of her –
“Of course not, my lady.” Heat gathers beneath his skin, and he – he is irritated at his own distraction. Lady Kiki wore mens’ clothes as well, and yet he never – “What is it that I can do for you?”
“I thought…” She’s far too close to him, the scent of ginger and spice enveloping him as she runs her hand along the rack, fingers lingering on the pommel of one of the swords. “That we might spar.”
He blinks, expression flattening into a polite mask. “Spar? You and me, my lady?”
“Yes.” Her smile tilts up at the corner. “Do you happen to play for forfeit?”
He is unprepared for her being capable.
From the first moment, she surprises him, pulling sword from the wrack like she was born to it.
“Your brother never mentioned you studied the blade,” he observes as they circle each other. She’s cautious, perhaps too much so. But there is an eagerness in her too, one that makes him wonder if he can wait, make her try to land the first blow.
Her mouth shifts into a smirk; he wishes the sight did not make his heart clench so. It’s…inconvenient. “It is a recently acquired hobby of mine.”
She steps to him, and it is him who makes the novice move, who goes to block only to find it is a feint, a way to throw him off guard as she dances in close. Her blade darts in, inches from his side, but he is fast as well, parrying well before she slips away, circling him so she is always at his back.
“Your style is…unique.” There’s no other word for it. She’s not experienced, to be sure, but she fights clever and careful.
Her teeth flash in a grin. “I had a unique teacher.”
She’s toying with him, trying to wear him out or dizzy him with these antics. An intelligent tactic, to cover up her inexperience, but he did not best the finest swords in his kingdom to be undone by a pair of buckskins.
He stops turning, and when she lunges for him, he is ready. A single parry gives him time to break distance, to bring her into a space he can control, heaving heavy blow after heavy blow to keep her on guard, to make her falter, and –
He goes to land another, expecting her blade beneath it, but she sidesteps, and while he over extends she cuts in close, not with blade but with –
The pommel strikes his hand, leaving it nerveless. It’s no feat at all for her knee to come up, tapping the blade from his hand up into hers.
“I want my forfeit,” she says, so even.
“We didn’t discuss terms, did we?” He swallows. Foolish.“What is it my lady desires?”
“I…” For the first time since she has entered the room, she wavers, cheeks flushing pink. “Tell me…” She licks her lips. “Tell me you want to marry me.”
“I do.” It wouldn’t have been a lie before; he needed the North, and she was a pleasant concession to make for it. He’d always liked her, that sly wit she let slip through when her polite mask began to crack. He’d thought she would be interesting at least, a comfort if not entirely an ally, but now…
Now he is…intrigued. How could he not be, when she’s come in here dressed like a man and beat him so handily.
“Tell me…that you cannot wait.”
“I cannot,” he agrees. He’s surprised to find he means it. “I’m eager to be told that I can take you as a wife.” He lifts a brow. “Especially if you plan to keep those trousers.”
Now that is a pretty blush.
He leans in, lifting his blade from her boneless hand. “Another,” he breathes, far less controlled than he wished.
Her eyelashes flutter in confusion. “I – excuse me?”
“Another match.” He pulls away, smirk slanting his lips. “After all, anyone can win once.”
Her eyes narrow. “If that is what Your Majesty wishes.”
“Oh yes.” He looms close once again, relishing how her breast rises faster when he nears. “And let me name my forfeit now.”
“Of course.”
His gaze drops pointedly to her lips. “If I win, you’ll allow me to kiss you.”
Her chest stutters for a moment, and then she is closer still, mouth perilously close to his own.
“Husband,” she murmurs, breath caressing his lips. “If you want a good match, you have to make your forfeit something I don’t want to do.”
His hand seizes her waist, dragging her body flush to his. Distantly, he hears steel clatter to marble, and then her fingers grip at his cravat, tilting his chin the barest hint down.
“Oh my,” she sighs, palm curling up over his shoulder. “It seems you have me disarmed already.”
He grins, letting it grow sharp, grow wolfish. “I’ll have you more than that, if you aren’t care –”
Her fingers wind into his hair and tug.
His groan echoes off every surface of the room. He’d be humiliated, if he wasn’t beyond caring.
“If you keep doing that,” he warns, mouth so close to hers that he is no longer sure which breath is hers and which is his. “We will have to call the Justice now, or you will not make it to the –”
Her palm presses tight along his skull, buries beneath the thong that ties back his hair, and she pulls.
“Oh hells,” he murmurs, and then there is no room for thought.
Neither of them call for the Justice.

*Brother Trouble* Newt x reader
◘ Anonymous asked:
Hello! Could you do one with some angst but a fluffy ending where after Newt introduces the reader to his older brother, she becomes very interested in Theseus and spends more time with him then with Newt? Newt becomes sad (and a little jealous) because of this and avoids the reader since he thinks he can't compete with Theseus when she confronts him about it. Thanks!
♦ I was so excited to write this! I’ve wanted to write with Theseus for a while now! Yay!! Hope you enjoy!! This one is a longer one!
“My mother can be a bit.... much....” Brushing his fingers through his cinnamon red hair, Newt looked over to you, worry in his eyes. You just smile and take his hand, giving it a tight squeeze.
“I bet she’s wonderful.”
“She is. She’s just not used to me bringing home a girl...” His cheeks turned a deep red and he looked away, trying to hide. You giggle and lean in to his side. “I mean, I’ve never brought a girl home before. Theseus was always the one bringing them home. When I sent the owl to let her know she wrote back in such a frenzy I could barely make out her writing!”
The wind picked up as you two walked down the path toward Newt’s childhood home and as each step brought you closer, you grew more and more anxious. Newt didn’t talk much about his family when you first met almost a year ago.
Everything he was saying now was new and even though you knew his mother sounded wonderful, you couldn’t help but feel a bit scared with being the first girl Newt ever brought home. What if you weren't what she was expecting? What if she ended up not liking you?
“Well...” Taking a deep breath, Newt looked over to you and with a nervous smile said, “Here we are.”
Beyond the trees stood a small house beside a beautiful pond. You could see just by the waters edge, some Hippogriffs, lounging in the sunlight and bathing in the water.
Ivy grew on the side of the house and beautiful shrubs and flowers were scattered everywhere.
Newt opened the gate of the tiny fence surrounding the house and upon setting his case down, he turned the front door knob, slowly creeping in.
“Hello?”
It was quiet for a moment and then, from out of nowhere, the sound of rushing footsteps could be heard. A tall woman with long wavy hair and the same color as Newt’s, only bit darker, came around the corner. Her skirt was covered by an apron and you could smell whatever she was cooking wafting through the house. A smile was spread across her face as she held out her arms to envelope her son.
“Oh, Newt!” Being a tad shorter than him, Newt bent over a bit to hug her back. Tears emerged from the corner of her eyes but she instantly wiped them away when laying eyes upon you.
“Oh! Aren’t you a vision!”
Blushing, you set your suitcase down as she hurried over to hug you. She wasn’t shy in the slightest and she just barely knocked the air out of you.
“Newt has told me so much about you! He said you were a sight to see but I clearly his letters did you no justice!”
“Mother....” Newt eyed her, his cheeks now redder than a tomato. She just laughed and with a swift movement, plucked her wand out and cast a spell that sent your things up the stairs and in to your room.
“Come, you must be starving! Theseus and I were just preparing supper. I do hope you like chicken, Y/N.”
Opening your mouth to answer, Newt, a rather confused tone in his voice, looked at his mother and furrowed his brows. “Theseus is here?”
“Yes! It was a wonderful surprise actually. I told him you were coming home for a bit and you were bringing a girl,” She lowered her voice as she spoke the word girl, “And he said he just had to come home to meet her. After all, it is the first time this is happening.”
Trying to hold in a giggle, you gave Newt a sympathetic look as you could tell he was getting irritated by the constant reminder of how he had never brought a girl home before.
Turning the corner in to the kitchen, you found a tall gentleman with dark curly hair, like Newt’s, standing beside a stove stirring something in a pot. He was slender but very built. It became clear to you why Newt wasn’t so fond of talking about him. He was rather handsome.
“Brother!” Setting the spoon down he was stirring with, Theseus threw his arms out and took Newt in for a big brotherly hug. “It’s so nice to see you.” Ruffling his hair, Newt fought him off and Theseus just laughed. He turned to you, smiling and took your hand, placing a kiss on it, “And it’s such a delight to meet you?....”
“Y/N” You were blushing like a fool.
“What a pretty name.”
Clearly not appreciating his wooing actions towards you, Newt took your waist and pulled you in close to him, showing off that you were his.
Theseus noticed this and just smiled, going back to stirring the pot.
“You’re just in time. Supper is almost ready.”
“Please, sit!” Guiding to you a chair, Newt pulled it out and you sat, him pushing you in and taking a seat beside you. You placed a hand on his thigh, hoping it would keep him calm as you could tell his nerved were rising and he was growing rather uneasy. You guessed it had to do with his brother being here.
“You never told me your brother was a war hero!” Turning to Newt, you gave him a quizzical look before turning back to hear more of Theseus’s story.
“Well, I think hero is a bit much...” Theseus blushed but you knew he was just trying to be modest. Newt just pushed his food around on his plate, not paying much attention to the the table conversation.
After what seemed to be like hours, everyone finally retreated and Newt’s mother showed you to your room. Walking up the staircase and down the hall, you admired the wallpaper and the delicate framed showcasing photos of young Newt and Theseus. You smiled, stopping to get a better look at one of them. Newt looked about ten years old and he was standing beside a hippogriff.
“He was always a lover of magical creatures, my Newton.” Gazing upon the photo beside you, Newt’s mother smiled as she lovingly admired the photo of her son.
“He has you to thank for that.” You answered, earning a smile in return.
Continuing down the hall, you entered a small bedroom with a bed, a dresser a desk and full length mirror on the wall. Your suitcase was on the bed and beside it were perfectly folded towels and extra blankets.
“It’s not much, but I hope it’s comfy. Newt’s room is down the hall, second one on the left. I’m across from his and Theseus is next to mine. The bathroom is the door before Newt’s room. If you need anything at all, please, don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Thank you.”
Newt’s mother turned to leave but paused, turning back around. Placing a hand on your arm, she looked in to your eyes and with what seemed like tears, gently said, “I can’t tell you how happy it made me to hear that Newt had finally found someone to call his own. He’s a wonderful boy, and I want nothing more than for him to be happy. He has told me nothing but wonderful things about you....” She paused, wiping a tear from her eye before continuing, “I honestly believed he would never recover from Leta LeStrange, whom I never met but heard about. But seeing him with you, I see something I never saw when he would talk about her... pure and abounding love.”
You had heard about Leta from Newt a while back and although their friendship had never formed in to an actual relationship, you knew he once held feelings for her. Hearing Newt’s mother tell you that you were the first to ever truly have his entire heart though, was heart warming and incredible.
Giving you one last smile, she walked from the room, closing the door and leaving you to un pack.
The rest of the evening you felt your heart fluttering in your chest. There had been absolutely no reason to ever fear she wouldn’t like you.
Descending down the stairs, the delicious smells of eggs, bacon and grits filled your senses and you felt your stomach rumble. Walking in to the kitchen, you smiled as you watched the three Scamander’s shuffling about preparing breakfast together. Newt and Theseus were laughing and you were happy to see them getting along.
“Good morning, dear! Did you sleep well?” Newt’s mother beamed at you from across the kitchen while carefully using her wand to guide the plates and utensils on to the table.
“I did, thank you.”
“Any big plans today?” Theseus asked, setting a pitcher of orange juice on the table. You shrugged, taking your seat at the table, eagerly waiting to devour the delicious food before you.
“How about Newt and I take you out to see some of the scenery here in our little neck of the woods. How about, Newt? Show her where we used to play as kids.”
“That sounds fun!” Smiling, you turned to Newt who was chewing on some bacon. Seeing the glimmer of joy in your eyes, he nodded, agreeing to the idea.
“This is where Newt fell out of a tree once....” Chuckling, Theseus pointed to a large tree nearby. “Had bruises for weeks...”
Giggling, you looked at Newt and gave him a sympathetic look. He returned it with a small smile and a red tint in his cheeks.
The three of you had been talking through the woods for almost an hour now and the entire time, Theseus told stories of him and Newt and their adventures as kids. Truth be told, you found Theseus exciting and enchanting. He spoke with such expression and enthusiasm; it was hypnotic.
Spreading out his arms wide, Theseus turned back to you and Newt, a smile on his face as he said, “And here it is! The spot we used to spend hours upon hours searching for fun creatures and playing imaginary games.”
The clearing was a slightly large field surrounded by large trees and tall grass. There was dozens of flowers covering the ground and it looked as if it were a photo from a story book. The sun came through the leaves of the trees, creating a beautiful ray of dancing sun beams and the sounds of crickets and birds could be heard in the distance.
“It’s beautiful!” Walking out in the clearing, you found an area where your took a seat, your skirt spending about you. You laid on your back and closed your eyes, letting the breeze wash over your face and the grass to tickle your arms. It was only a matter of minutes before Newt and Theseus joined you.
After spending some time looking up at the clouds and hearing more stories from Theseus about his work as an Auror, the three of you decided to take a walk towards the lake nearby.
“It was one of the best missions I was ever given.” Smiling, Theseus looked down at you, clearly proud of his story telling and how amazing he sounded in all of them.
Throwing a pebble across the lakes surface, you returned the smile and asked for him to tell more.
Newt sat beneath one of the nearby trees, picking the grass and ripping it a part. He glared as he watched Theseus clearly trying to impress you and he wanted nothing more than to get up and push him in to the lake. The sound of your laugh pushed him over the edge and stood up, wiping the dirt from his pants.
“I-I’m gonna head back and check on the creatures.” Looking over to you, he eagerly awaited for you to join him but you just gave him a smile and a tiny wave.
“Okay!”
You dismissed him so quickly and he honestly felt s if he had been stabbed through the chest. Turning around, he began to walk, stopping and looking back one more time. It pained him beyond words to see you standing there beside Thesues, the better more accomplished older brother. His charms had worked on every woman he meant but he never thought they’d work on you.
Sighing, Newt turned back around and headed home. He could have just apparated but instead decided a walk could maybe do him some good.
“Back so soon, dear?” Mrs. Scamander stood beside one of her hippogriffs, brushing it as it ate some food she had placed on the ground.
“Yeah...”
“Where’s Theseus and Y/N?”
“By the lake.”
Walking past his mother, Newt opened the back door and made his way to his room. Shutting the door loudly, he stared at his case placed upon his bed. Truth be told, he didn’t want to go in and see his creatures. He wanted to spend time with you.
It was the following day and Theseus had invited to take you and Newt in to town and visit some new store’s. Newt was in his room sitting at his desk; Pickett in his hands when you knocked on the door and walked in.
Newt didn't even look up as you spoke, telling him you were about to leave.
“No, you two go. I’m gonna sit this one out. Besides, Pickett seems to have a cold and I should really stay here and keep an eye on him.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah.”
Giving you a forced smile, Newt watched as you turned back around, leaving him alone with Pickett who didn’t have a cold.
Your eyes glistened as you told Mrs. Scamander all about your day and all the fun places Theseus took you.
“Show them what you got!”
“Oh!” Reaching to your neck, you fumbled around for a moment before you got a hold of the necklace dropping down. The long chain exposed a heart locket at the end and you beamed as you held it up.
Newt took one look at it before abruptly standing up. The chair hit the wall behind him as he threw his napkin on the table and stormed out of the room. The three of you sat at the table and Mrs. Scamander turned to look at her son, a disapproving look in her eyes.
“What?”
“I should go talk to him...” Excusing yourself, you made your way up the stairs and gently knocked on Newt’s door. He didn’t answer and so you decided to let yourself in.
He stood at his window, his hands on the sill, his back to you. He didn’t move or flinch a you closed the door behind you and walked over to him. Placing a hand on his shoulder, he just nudged it off and walked away.
“Newt, what is going on?”
Letting out a chuckle, he turned to look at you, his eyes red as it was clear he was trying to hold in tears.
“Are you honestly asking me that?”
Taken back by his tone of voice, you backed up a bit and watched as he fell on to his bed, his hands flying to his face.
“Every time I think I can finally have something of my own to be proud of, stupid Theseus has to out shine me or prove to everyone he's better. He’s always been the better one. He’s smarter, more successful, more handsome....” He paused, standing up and kicking the edge of his bed. “I see now why every single girl who meets him falls in love.”
“You think I love him?!”
“You’ve spent every waking minute with him since we got here!”
“That’s because you won’t do anything with us!”
“And that thing-” He pointed to the necklace around your neck, “That’s an obvious sign he’s trying to win your heart over! He just can’t let me have any type of happiness of my own!”
Mouth agape and your eyes wide, you stared at Newt in disbelief as his words echoed through your head. Taking the necklace off, you laid it on his desk and walked towards him.
“Newt, I’m sorry you thought I was falling for your brother. Honestly. And he was never trying to win me over.”
Newt scoffed at your words.
“I’m serious, Newt. He was never trying to win me over. Don’t believe me? Open the locket.”
You watched as his head turned, his eyes landing on the piece of jewelry strewn across his desk. You waited, watching as he finally walked over and picked it up. He played with it in his hands for a moment before cracking it open. Inside was a photo of you and him and an engraving saying, always close to my heart.
“I found it today while out and mentioned how much I liked it. Theseus bought it and surprised me with it. The photo and the engraving were added by him.”
A tear slipped down Newt’s cheek as he looked over to you. It was then that Theseus entered the room, his head hanging low and his hands in his pockets.
“Hey....”
Newt stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
“I-I’m sorry about how I made you feel, Newt. I just wanted to get to know the girl who stole my little brother’s heart, you know?” A lopsided smile spread across his face as he rubbed his forehead.
Newt blinked before looking back down at the locket in his hands. A smiled appeared on his freckled face and he looked back up at his brother.
“I guess I’m just used to girls flocking to you.” He chuckled and you smiled, watching as Theseus rolled his eyes and laughed along with his brother. Newt crossed the room and put the necklace back on you, placing a kiss on your lips. Theseus made a gagging noise and Newt playfully punched him.
Theseus left the room leaving you and newt alone. Taking Newt’s hand in yours, you pulled him in close and he rested his forehead against yours. Your E/C eyes met his green ones you quietly said, “For the record, you’re much cuter than your brother.”
Chuckling, Newt pulled you in and placed a passionate kiss upon your lips.
If there was one thing Theseus was never going to have, it was you.
OMG this was so much longer than I anticipated. I hope it was okay! I haven’t written much Theseus and so I hope I wrote/captured him well!
As always, feedback is welcome! ^_^
