“Hey, Carrots!
No need to look so offended, I’m not here to cause any trouble, you know~. No favors to ask of either. It’s your special day, isn’t it? It is! So I came by to give you a present.
Tumblr media
…Yeah, okay, it’s not really much, but it’s a gift nonetheless. Coupon for a special pop for the birthday girl~. You have a favorite flavor or something? I’ll try making it into a pop for you. A dozen for free! I’m real kind, I know.
Oh, and before I forgot. You know Ashi, don’t you? Poor girl couldn’t make it today, so she asked me to hand you a gift bag in her stead. Proves my trustworthiness, doesn’t it? Heh.
No need to worry, I didn’t peek at it… Hold some higher standards for me, would you?”
Niko hands over the bag. It’s a cute, pink, petite bag with cat decorations on it. It holds some resemblance to the feline holding it herself.
Grabbing what’s inside, there’s a little drawing with a note attached. It’s written with words and symbols that seem impossible to verbalize, but somehow it’s easy to imagine a certain brunette bringing life to them…
Clochey! HBD fam!~ Super bummed I couldn’t make it, but I hope this prezzie has enough of my energy baked into it that it feels like I’m there! LMK ASAP ☆
I wanted to send you a cute lil’ message ‘cuz I’m real thankful for us being friends, YK? Even tho we aren’t super buddy buddy, I still totally enjoy your company. Eppy tells me enough about you that it basically feels like I’m hanging with you myself!
Anyway~ I wanted to gift smth more personalized for you, so I drew up a little drawing! It’s kinda like a postcard, but I tried putting one of your fave things on it ♡ I hope you enjoy!~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We should SO get talkin’ again soonsies! Wishin you a happy birthday and many more with a certain huntsman <3
Sincerely, Ashi ♪
Cloche hears a chuckle after she’s done reading the note.
“Wow, Carrots, your face is a little red… Wonder what Ashi stirred up for you to get you, the cold clawed kitty to get lookin’ like that. Well, privacy is privacy. Guess that’s my cue to leave.
Here’s hoping you catch a break from all the trouble around campus, hm? Enjoy your day~.”
HAPPY BDAY CHRIS!!!!!!! I HOPE YOUR DAY AND WEEK AND TBH MONTH IS SO BANGER. ITS SO DESERVED!!!!!!! 🫶 it’s been SO nice being your moot for like?? WHAT??? TWO YEARS OR SMTH??? TIME IS SO CRAZY. it’s been such a treat being able to interact n talk w you since the beginning!!! I GET SUPER HAPPY WHENEVER I SEE YOU IN MY NOTIFS <333 HBD again and I hope life treats you well!!!!! 🙏 blessing your pulls and turning them into pomepulls……….. tehepero
Tumblr media
[Cloche’ Birthday Bash] *them referring to our dear freshmen
Okay first of all… ASHIIIIIII YOU’RE GONNA KILL ME I SWEAR !!! THE FACT THAT YOU SENT THIS SO EARLY??!?! THE INTERACTION IS EVERYTHING! I JUST LOVE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT SO NATURALLY- Fr, Niko just waltzing into Ramshackle then dipping- aND THE GORGEOUS GORGEOUS ROOKLOCHE ART- LITERALLY SCREAMING OVER THE POSE AND DETAILS- YOU SERIOUSLY OUT DID YOURSELF FOR THIS ONE! Rook carrying her and Cloche grabbing on to him to get closer- SAVANACLAW ROOK MY BELOVED- Muscle man frrrr- Ashi really caught on to the cat maid’s staring during Chapter 7 huh. AND THE DOODLES ON RHE SIDES ARE TOO CUTE- 😩
Epel yapping on about Cloche and totally not suspiciously asking Ashi about her roommate- Ashi internally sweating bullets when Epel doesn’t realize that everything he describes is the cat maid making up excuses to avoid him-
Also take this… Cloche walking up to Niko days later and asking for a bone marrow pop, and it takes Niko a few seconds to realize it was a joke 😭😭 Slow burn friendship trust-
Really, it’s so wild that it’s been 2 years- So glad to have you here and to celebrate with you again !! I think you really blessed my pome pulls with this one- seriously- man came on the 30th pull twice- Ilyyyyy If makes me super happy to see you in my notifs as well and may we continue to interact in the future!

Gots some asks for ya’ll
Tumblr media
If you really want to show me that you love and admire my art, you’re right, fanart is most certainly not the way to do it.
The way to do it is to comment on posts of mine that you like. Even if its just a “❤” or something like “my heART-” or “Wow! This looks great!”, you know?
I don’t like fanart, and if a post gets too many reblogs it kind’a spooks me, so just a little comment of basically any kind would be just fine. Its actually what I look forward to the most when posting art. :}
Tumblr media
Hmm.. interesting question. Lets hope these ramblings I typed out actually answer your question lol.
I feel like something the crew all kind’a have in common is they most likely don’t seek out comfort from others when they are upset. They all most likely hide away in their rooms to silently cry things out on their own in peace.
Especially the Captain for example. I feel like out of everyone he hides his sadness the most, not wanting his team to see him in such a way and not wanting them to feel the need to comfort him. I feel like when he is sad he kind of retreats to his room to be alone for a bit. If the Captain is sad but has to be around the crew though? Maybe he just looks tired and is a bit slower than usual. His sadness can often times be mistaken for him just being tired. He probably prefers it that way honestly.
I feel like when Kwazii is upset he clams up and becomes more reserved. Usually he’s the talkative type right? Maybe the other crewmembers usually notice somethings wrong when he starts answering questions with just yes’s and nos. If someone takes him aside and tries to talk to him, maybe he’ll brush it off and say he’s alright. But if the Captain asks maybe he’ll feel more inclined to tell him what’s up. Maybe he’ll race around in the Gup-B as a pick me up when he’s down as well?
It could be a lot more obvious when Peso is sad. Maybe he gets really droopy and sulks around. I bet everyone notices and he most likely is less driven to keep it a secret. He’s most likely more open to talking about why he’s sad and more open to talking to others who are.
I feel like Dashi might like to have some alone time when she’s sad. She probably works slower and not as good when she’s upset, so she probably takes the time to get herself sorted out in private so she can keep working. She could also go to Tweak for a girl talk of needed.
Tweak could be someone who finds comfort in her work, so usually just buries her nose in blueprints and keeps to herself. When she’s sad maybe it shows on her face and in her body language. She could appear to be working just fine, but her drooped ears, tired expression and slower pace could let others know that she’s having a rough day.
Shellington could be like Tweak in that he just buries himself in his study's when he’s sad to try and get distracted or feel better. Maybe when he’s sad he’s not very good at hiding it. Maybe he’s visibly droopy and just down on everything. So it would make sense that he would prefer to hide away and work alone until he’s better
I feel like Inkling may be better in tune with his emotions. If he’s sad he gets to the root of the problem and tries to fix it. If he’s sad over something he cannot change? Maybe he makes some tea and just relaxes in the library to some music and reads or something. If someone comes to check on him maybe he looks tired and isn’t as talkative.
Tumblr media
I feel like looking at Octonauts realistically Kwazii wouldn’t even know of the T-Pose meme.
And I also don’t know what kind of condiment he prefers. :/
Tumblr media
Yeah, I have left the chat lol. Kind’a fits because I’m on a break now.
I went from being in my chair, happy and drawing a lot of pictures,
Tumblr media
To droopy and annoyed with no pictures.
Tumblr media
To just gone. :|
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Post in question)
XD Thank you! I’m glad you liked it :}
Tumblr media
Aww thank you!! I try :} And I’m glad you like my Octonauts art! That means a lot! :D
As for how I draw hands? Well, I cant find the original post, but you can look at this hand tutorial I made a while back. Its a bit outdated but its still good in my opinion. :} 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Personally I don’t think he, or any of the crew members do really.
Zoomies in cats are directly linked to their sleeping schedule which causes them to have a lot of built up energy at times.
Kwazii being sentient, having a different sleeping schedule, having daily physically active activities, having a different diet, body shape and size etc, etc, etc, lead me to believe that it wouldn't make sense for him to just be completely full of energy and be uncontroably bouncing off the walls at any given time.
So no, I don’t think he does. :/
Tumblr media
I’ve always wondered about Kwazii’s family and why only Calico Jack is ever mentioned. Maybe there’s a darker reason behind it? 🤔
Tumblr media
:0!! That’s adorable! 
Tumblr media
Where's the lie?? XD
Tumblr media
Daww thanks, I’m glad you like how I draw him :}
Tumblr media
She secretly splatters some green paint on Tweak and she doesn’t notice XD
Tumblr media
(Post in question)
Ye, :} I’m going to continue to work on his design but for now he has a lil vest thingy. And thank you! I tried to make them look cute, :D
Tumblr media
That would certainly throw everyone for a loop XD
Tumblr media
All the knives are dirty and she be cravin dat bread
Tumblr media
I did say I had plans to make Decepticon OCs yes. I was going to make about 17 actually.
But my drive to draw them kind’a diminished, and my hyper fixation on Transformers eventually got replaced with another one. :/
Tumblr media
That sounds like something that would actually happen in the show. :0
Tumblr media
I imagine Ratchet would perk up out of concern for the breathlessness part yeah. But eventually he’d just get annoyed by all the noisy laughter. XD
Tumblr media
I think her paws would burn yeah, or at least are at risk of getting burnt.
Which is why my version of Tweak wears gloves, safety first Tweak!
Tumblr media
I don’t think I would want to no.. and I don’t think I ever will. Making up my own crew member OCs just... I dunno, I don’t normally like making OCs for things like this, it just makes the characters feel really out of place.. ●﹏●;
The only Octonaut OCs I have made are some monsters for my Sea Dwellers AU, and maybe I’ll make some unseen family members of the Octonauts? But that’s as far as I’ll go. No made up crew members for me.

Ok I saw your requests post. I'm thinking maybe for Haz best friends or roommates love confession! Like maybe they're fighting about something or like maybe a sleepy cute moment where the feelings are accidentally blurted out. Idk, take it away with your awesome writing skills
V cute
"Haz… Haz… Hazzzzzzzzz." You whine in quick succession. Harrison hiffs from his place behind the desk in the study. Your continued pestering draws him to clench his jaw. He grumbles curses under his breath before he sighs, 
"Y/N, shut the fuck up. If you have something to say, come the fuck down here." He growls. A few moments later, you appear in the doorway, 
"Well excuse the fuck out of me your majesty." He knows you're goading him, but it's the last thing he needs right now. He glares up at you, 
"Now's really not the time so say what you need and go away." He murmurs. There's no denying the hurt on your face, your mouth hanging open just just little, 
"Nevermind…" You mumble, playing with your fingers as you start from the doorway, 
"Y/N, what is it?" 
"No, heaven forbid I disrupt you just to tell you I miss you. But if I'm gonna get my head bitten off it's not worth it." 
"Y/N…" Harrison calls after you, but with a wave of your hand, you're gone and your bedroom door slams. 
Later in the night, Harrison cracks your door open after gently knocking at it, 
"Can I come in?" He poses. You glance up and stare into his eyes, 
"I dunno, that depends. Are you gonna scream at me?" You ask. He clicks his tongue, 
"No… I'm done screaming at you. I've come to apologize for it." He tells you. You close your book and cross your legs beneath you to give him space to sit at the foot of your bed. He does so, playing with a thread, 
"I really am sorry. They keep changing my script and the hours are gonna suck here soon and I'm just… it's difficult but I'm trying and it was not fair to take that out on you." He tells you. You chew the inside of your cheek, 
"Well, apology accepted. Next time express that to me. For fucks sake I'm your gir- uhh, friend." You stumble, Harrison's head shooting up at the misstep, 
"You're my what now?" He asks. You swallow, face losing all its color, 
"Your friend… best… girl friend." You stumble again. He clears his throat, 
"Funny, thought you were gonna say girlfriend." He murmurs, 
"No," you laugh nervously, "no of course not, why would I… why would I say that?" He shrugs, 
"Ya know… cause you like me and you've been fantasizing about what it'd be like to date me and it's left this searing in your brain that in another universe you're my girlfriend." He says. Your eyebrows knit together, 
"No-" 
"Oh wait, that was me. It was the other way around." He diverts, glancing up at you again. His face develops a smile, 
"What?" He shrugs, 
"Sometimes when the stress gets to me I lay in bed and imagine what it'd be like to have you as my girlfriend. It's quite nice actually. Helps me fall asleep knowing that you'd be comforting to the point of lulling me to sleep." He shrugs again like it's the most nonchalant thing in the world. You stare at him wide eyed and he chuckles, 
"Don't look at me like that. Look… I know it's not like, the best idea to go out because we are best friends but I do like you and that whole, almost accidental reveal of the feeling being mutual is really enduring and I think we could give it a go if you wanted." He assures. You swallow, 
"W-wh-how… how long have you liked me?" You ask him. He chews the inside of his lip, 
"Dunno… a few months. Actually… when Tom took you to his premiere. That was the first time I went, 'holy shit she's perfect'." He admits. You hum,
"And you've never said anything?" You pose. He shakes his head,
"And risk making an ass of myself because you view me as a brother figure. I think not darling." He murmurs. You click your tongue,
"I need to be institutionalized if I was fantasizing about kissing my brother." You tell him. He has, lips pressed together, eyes on your carpet before he looks up, 
"Wanna have a go at it?" He asks. Your eyebrows rise,
"What?"
"Kissing. Just to test it out, would you like to have a go at it?" He poses again. You swallow, willing yourself to nod before he's scooting closer and wrapping an arm around you. You swallow again before you lean in, hand at the back of his neck as he kisses you, his lips soft against yours. It's brief and sweet, and when he pulls back, he swallows in turn, 
"That uhm-"
"Was… wow." 
"Yeah." You both stutter before he leans back in and gives you another quick peck and stands, 
"So yeah, uhm, I wanted to apologize and I have to get back to it, but… we should try to uhm, go out or something before I'm swamped in work." 
"And next time just tell me you're off to do stressful shit. Don't yell at me." You tell him. He nods, saluting you before he's disappearing through your door again.

Summary: Your menstrual cramps are being particularly bothersome and Steve has an interesting proposition for helping relieve your pain.
Pairing: Steve Rogers x F!Reader
Word Count: ~3.7k (wow)
Warnings: language, SMUT 18+ (fingering, period sex, shower sex), mentions of blood (obvi)
A/N: Hello! So, this is my first fanfic I've ever posted. I've been reading fanfiction for a while and was recently considering trying my own hand at writing some, and so was just like "fuck it, I'll give it a go." Not only is this my first fic, but it also doubles as a submission for the lovely @jtargaryen18​ 's 30 Days of Chris Challenge. Both she and her stories are absolutely delightful! To the 2 of you any and everyone who reads this, I hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
You groan, hands resting on your clenched abdomen as you roll over to face the back of the couch. It’s that time of the month again and your cramps are hurting like a bitch.
You’ve seemingly tried everything: painkillers, heating pads, even some yoga poses Wanda swears relieve her symptoms. Unfortunately, nothing seems to have done the trick. So, instead, you’ve just decided to curl up on the couch, belatedly moaning into the empty confines of your and Steve’s room.
He’d been gone the past 2 weeks on a mission assignment. Nothing major or incredibly dangerous, just simple recon. FRIDAY had let you know when he’d arrived back at the Compound a few hours ago. However, he’d yet to stop by and see you – instead choosing to hold the mission debrief immediately after touching down at base.
You’d missed him like crazy and had hoped Aunt Flo would have visited during his absence. That way, you two could’ve celebrated his return between the sheets like you always do. But no, not this time. Guess he’ll have to settle with your moans of pain rather than ecstasy.
As you continue to softly grumble into the cushions, you hear the tell-tale click of the door signaling Steve’s entrance.
“Honey, I’m home,” he calls, his usual cutesy quip whenever he returns from a mission.
Normally, you’d quip back with some equally cute banter, but not today. Instead, you greet him with another groan from your lips.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” He asks, voice tinged with worry. He rounds the couch and sits behind your bent knees, hands resting on your lower back and shoulder.
“Stevie,” you whimper, “it feels like I’m dying.”
You know you’re being dramatic, but hey... you’re allowed, given the circumstances.
“What? What’s happened?” His voice fills with more concern.
You turn your head slightly to peek at him over your shoulder, meeting his worrisome gaze. “The crimson wave is hitting hard this month and really kickin’ my ass. It feels like someone’s stabbed me in the gut and is slooowly twisting the knife.”
His face loses its tension and changes to one of sympathy. “Oh, I’m sorry darlin’. I know how you feel... literally.” He starts rubbing your back and squeezing your shoulder, giving you a small smile. “Is there anything I can get you? Chocolate, ice cream, chocolate ice cream?”
You smile and shake your head slightly. With arms still holding your stomach, you turn to face where he’s seated.
“Well, is there anything I can do for you?”
You think for a moment as you look him over. God, you wish you could’ve given him your proper greeting. He looks good; already having showered, shaved, and changed out of his Cap suit before coming up. Despite some lingering dirty thoughts on your mind, the pain in your belly is too much for you to humor those ideas for now. 
“Could you just hold me? I’ve missed you.”
“Of course, baby. I’ve missed you, too.” He swiftly kicks off his shoes before lying beside you. His arms settle on your back where they start drawing lazy circles.
Your own arms snake under his and around his waist, face burrowing into his shirt. The heat of his hands helps to soothe you a bit, but the pain is nowhere near fully eliminated. You two stay locked in this embrace for a good while – you breathing in the clean scent of his shirt, him breathing in the soft scent of your hair.
After some time, one of his hands leaves your back to fish his phone out of his pocket. He brings it behind your head to scroll through while his other hand continues to rub your back.
“Are you feeling any better?” He softly questions.
“Maybe a little, but not really.”
“Have you already taken some painkillers? The Internet says that’s a common remedy for symptoms like this.”
Oh, how sweet. He’s looking up methods to relieve period cramps.
“Yeah, I popped some a couple of hours ago. They didn’t seem to help, though.”
“What about a heating pad? Did you also try that?”
You hum and nod into his chest. “Also a bust.”
“What about an - ehm - an orgasm?”
You lift your head and pull away from his chest slightly, giving him a questioning brow.
“It… um, the Internet says that’s also a good solution,” he stammers. He brings his phone around to show you the screen.
You quickly look it over. Huh, you think, I did not know that.
You look back to his face, having a hint of a smirk on your lips. Your gaze briefly travels down his chest and arms which cocoon you in warmth. Licking your lips slightly, you draw your eyes back up to his.
You give a slight shake of your head. “I did not try that. While I was unbearably horny the entirety of your mission – and may still have some of those feelings currently – I’m not sure it’s worth the cleaning job that’ll follow. If you catch my drift.”
The thought of trying to remove period stains from your cream-colored upholstery or linens causes you to grimace.
“You sure? I mean, I don’t mind a little blood. I’m used to being covered in it,” he says with a playful smile.
You scrunch your nose further. “Don’t be gross,” you admonish.
“Really, I’m cool with it. We can put down a towel,” he teases.
“No way, nuh-uh. We are not using one of my fluffy, white, Egyptian-cotton towels for period sex.” You shake your head, frowning slightly. “Those were too big of a splurge to be relegated to such a dirty task.” You tuck your face back into his chest. “Thank you for the offer, but I’ll be okay… eventually. Just keep holding me for now, please?”
“Alright, sweetheart. Whatever you want.” He puts his phone back in his pocket before bringing both arms around to continue rubbing your back.
You spend several more minutes locked in each other’s arms – the stillness of the room relatively peaceful. That is, until Steve’s loudly grumbling stomach breaks the silence.
“Sorry,” he chuckles. “Didn’t get a chance to eat dinner since we landed.”
“You should eat something.”
“No, I’m fine. I want to be here with you.” His stomach growls again, louder this time.
“Steve,” you pull back from him, “go eat something. I’ll be okay, really. Take care of yourself and then you can take care of me.”
“You sure?”
“Positive.” You bring your arms around to his front and gently push on his chest. “Go.”
He gives you a small sigh and nods. “Okay. But I’ll be quick. Ten minutes, tops, and then I’m back to cuddling you.”
You smile as he stands and begins to make his way out of the room. “Alright, I’ll be waiting.”
He gives you a quick peck on your forehead before heading towards the communal kitchen.
With Steve’s body heat no longer warming you, your stomach starts clenching again. Maybe I should try the heating pad again, you think. Just until Steve returns. But no, that hadn’t helped much when you’d tried it earlier.
You think back to the list Steve had shown you on his phone. A ‘no’ to heating pads, painkillers, and – unfortunately – orgasms. You remember one of the options mentioned a warm bath. Well, your en suite doesn’t have a bathtub, but it does have a very spacious shower. Maybe if you get the water hot enough it’ll have the same effect.
With your mind made up to at least give it a try, you sit up on the couch – feeling an unpleasant gush as you rise. Eck, gross. Definitely gonna want a shower now.
You make your way to the bathroom and reach into the shower, cranking the heat on. Stripping off your clothes and disposing of your sanitary product, you wait for the room to steam. While you expect to be done before Steve returns – you’re not taking a cleansing shower per se, moreso a relaxing shower – you leave the bathroom door slightly ajar in case he comes back and wonders where you’ve gone to.
Once you decide the temperature is to your liking – something just a few degrees shy of scalding – you step under the water. Immediately, you let out a low sigh. Damn, this does feel pretty good. Maybe the Internet knows what it’s talking about sometimes.
You stand under the showerhead for a few minutes, feeling your ache begin to marginally subside. While your stomach still has some unpleasant clenching, the feeling is subdued. Yeah, this’ll work until Steve returns. You continue to sigh with contentment as the water cascades down your body.
You tilt your head downwards, watching a ruby river circle the drain. Eh... not quite the same as Hitchcock's chocolate syrup. But at least you don't have to worry about would-be murderers sneaking up on you here.
A loud, sudden knock against the shower door makes you yelp, spluttering out water you accidentally sucked up.
Steve pokes his head in from the far side away from the stream. An apologetic look graces his face. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare ya.”
You hadn’t noticed him enter the room – the normally transparent glass door now too foggy to see through.
“It’s fine.” You continue coughing a bit, trying to rid your lungs of the inhaled water. “I’m done in here, though. Just wanted to see if the warm water would help. Let me towel off and then we can go lie back down.”
As you turn around to shut the water off, Steve stops you.
“Wait, wait. Hold on a second.” He opens the door fully to reveal he’s also stripped bare.
Oh. You definitely hadn’t noticed that through the fogged glass. You lick your lips absentmindedly as you drag your eyes down his body.
“So, did it help?”
Huh? You shake your head to remove the brain fog clouding your mind. “Uh… w-what?”
“The warm water. Did it help? Do you feel better?”
“Um, yeah. Y-yeah, a bit. But it still hurts some.” Your eyes once again drift down his body, still standing outside the confines of the shower. “Why?”
“Well, I was thinking about what you said earlier. How after I took care of myself – getting something to eat, that is – I could then take care of you.” He finally steps into the shower with you, closing the door behind him. “While I had originally intended on snuggling with you again on the couch, once I saw you in here, I had a different idea.”
He steps closer to you. The water raining down overhead just barely grazes his chest.
“I thought about how the reason you turned down my earlier offer was because you’re worried about cleaning up any… mess. But now look around.” He gestures around to the white tile. “I don’t think it gets any easier than cleaning up in the shower.”
Oh. You hadn’t thought of that.
He takes another few steps until he’s standing only centimeters away. Slowly, he brings his hands upwards, trailing his fingers along your thighs, hips, arms.
Despite the muggy feeling in the air, Steve’s touch causes you to shudder – goosebumps rippling across your skin.
“So, is the water making you feel better? Or do you want to reconsider my offer?”
Your stomach clenches again. Only this time, it’s due to any entirely different reason.
He sneaks his arms around your waist, pulling your body flush against his. The water falls over the tops of your heads, drenching you both. You slide your hands up his arms, his shoulders, until you cup the sides of his face.
Brushing his lips against yours he whispers, “Will you let me take care of you?”
You give a gentle nod before pulling his lips down to yours.
His lips are firm, insistent, needy. Quickly, he spins you both away from the pelting stream. Your back presses against the far side of the shower. The ice-cold tile against your heated skin makes you gasp. Steve takes the opportunity to slip his tongue past your parted lips, deepening the kiss.
One of his legs pushes between your own, forcing them apart. Your eyes drift closed as you both stand there – your embrace heating up the already humid air.
One of his hands leaves your waist, coming back quickly to cup your sex. Your eyes pop open and your lips separate from his, a low moan drawing from the back of your throat.
He chuckles slightly as he plays with the slick that’s accumulated between your thighs. “You really did miss me, didn’t you?”
You pull him back into a fierce kiss, effectively shutting up his beautiful, snarky mouth.
His fingers dance over your bundle of nerves, swollen and throbbing with need. The delicate ministrations cause more moans to spill from your lips, only to be swallowed by Steve’s own wanting mouth.
Carefully, he slips one finger inside your waiting entrance and just as quickly follows it with another thick digit. His thumb continues to brush against your taut nub as his fingers slide in and out of you at a slow, steady pace.
Your sharp resulting gasp forces you to part from his lips once again. Your hands fall from his face onto his shoulders, fingertips tightly gripping the muscles. Steve’s unoccupied hand rises from your waist to grip your breast, thumb brushing over your hardened bud.
His head dips as he starts peppering your wet skin with kisses – along your jaw, neck, ear. His hands continue to rub, grope, pluck at your body – drawing out more and more wanton moans.
“That’s it, baby,” he breathes against you. “I’ve got you.”
“Steve, please,” you beg, the leisurely pace of his fingers driving you crazy. “More…. Faster.”
He adds a third finger and increases the speed of his intruding digits. Your low moans quickly shift to high-pitched whines. Your legs begin to quake ever so slightly, forcing you to wrap one arm around his shoulders to keep yourself upright.
The hand on your breast moves to rest against your lower back. Steve presses you more firmly against the tiled wall as he huddles your body.
Your breaths come out in harsh pants and brows scrunch together as you rapidly approach your sweet peak – euphoria just within arms’ reach.
“C’mon, sweetheart,” his whisper along your ear makes you shake. “I’m here, I’ve got you.”
With that, you hit your euphoric bliss. Eyes pinched shut, mouth propped open, fingers clawing at any skin you can grab hold of. Steve’s fingers continue working you through your rapture, their tempo gradually slowing until finally coming to a stop.
Through a half-lidded gaze, you spot his cocky smirk. He presses a brisk kiss to the corner of your mouth.
“Feeling better?” He sports a smug expression, fingers still filling you.
“Much.” You manage to force out, still breathless. “Thank you.”
“It’s no problem, darlin’. Told you I’d take care of you.”
You growl at the smug bastard, pulling him into a harsh kiss. “Would you just shut up and fuck me already?” You grit.
“Hey, no need to get snippy with me. I’m helping you out here,” he teases. But before you can retort, he extricates his fingers from you – making you wince slightly. He uses the arm around your back to spin you towards the shower door, pressing your breasts against the cool glass.
Your palms come up to rest flat on the barrier as Steve nudges your legs further apart. You turn your head to peek at him over your shoulder, meeting his hungry gaze. With one swift move he buries himself completely, causing both of you to groan.
Both his hands come up to rest beside yours on the glass. He stills for a moment, allowing you to adjust to his girth.
“God, I’ve missed you…. Missed this.” His breath is hot on the back of your neck. “Two weeks is too long without you.” His hands leave the glass to cup your breasts, rolling your hardened buds between his fingers.
You start to squirm in his hold. His body effectively cages you against the door while his movements are muted, minimal.
“Steve,” you whine, “please, I need you…. Need you to move.”
“Alright baby, no need to beg. I’ve still got you.” His hands drop to your waist, forming a strong grip on your curves. He starts with a gentle rocking of his hips before rapidly picking up the speed of his thrusts.
Still peering over your shoulder, you watch his expression morph. His chin is dropped – gaze focused on his length as it disappears in and out of your drenched opening. His furrowed brow and slightly parted lips suddenly relax as he throws his head back – eyes now closed, brows smoothed, jaw completely slack.
His hands continue to hold an iron grip on your waist. The sound of clapping flesh only just audible above the roaring showerhead still pouring down.
“Baby,” he pants, “I’m not gonna last long. I wanna feel you give me another.” One of his eyes opens to watch you nod and reach a hand down the front of your body.
He keeps up a relentless pace – hitting all the right spots – as you quickly circle your fingers over your most sensitive point. If the glass against your cheek wasn’t already fogged over, your harsh breaths would’ve surely done the job.
Feeling Steve’s thrusts begin to grow erratic, you know he’s close to finishing. Your fingers hasten their movements, wanting to reach that precipice and tumble over at the same time as him. You turn your cheek to press your forehead flat against the glass. The exquisite feeling behind you – within you – forcing your brows to scrunch.
With a few more well-mannered ruts of his hips and flicks of your wrist, you feel your core clench around him – your entire body trembling. Your hand darts out from in between your legs back up to the glass, scrambling for purchase, trying to stabilize yourself.
Your twitching walls trigger Steve’s own release, feeling him follow you in ecstasy. Mutual strings of curses and moans fall from both your lips. Neither of you knows where one starts and the other begins – bodies still locked together in a firm embrace.
After a few seconds... minutes... you’re not entirely sure how long, your heart descends from its frantic beating. Your breathing, likewise, returns to its normal pattern.
Steve leans forward to sweep soft kisses along your shoulder blades. His hands remain on your waist, though now with a softer hold – thumbs rubbing small circles into your back.
“Feeling all better now?” You can feel his smile against your skin.
Your palms drag down the glass until they come to rest limply by your sides. You nod, head still resting against the chilled door.
“Perfect,” you whisper. “Absolutely perfect.”
~~~~~
You wake sometime early the next morning. The sun is just over the horizon, casting shimmering rays across the cream bed sheets. You turn and reach over to the other side of the bed, finding...
Nothing. Just cold, empty sheets.
You pout. Steve must’ve gone out for his morning run already, likely doing laps around Sam. You’d hoped he would’ve stayed in bed a little longer, wanting to spend the morning with you after returning from his mission. Oh well, you think, he’ll be back soon enough. And, luckily, last night’s bathtime escapade seems to have left you relaxed and pain-free this morning.
Sighing happily, you sink back into the pillows – wanting to catch a bit more shut-eye before Steve returns. Unfortunately, a loud knock on your door swiftly dissolves that plan.
“Uuugh…. FRIDAY, who is it?” You grumble.
“It’s Sergeant Barnes, ma’am. Shall I grant him access to your room?”
Ugh, what does he need this early? “Yeah, FRI, let him in.”
You hear the door swing open, followed by heavy boots padding along the floor. “Mornin’ sleepyhead!” Bucky’s voice is entirely too jovial for this hour of the day.
“You need something, Buck? Or can I go back to sleep?” You ask without looking at him, face still buried in the pillows.
“Just stoppin’ by to grab my muscle salve Steve borrowed a few weeks ago. He said it’d be in the bathroom.”
You wave a dismissive hand in the general direction of the bathroom. “Go ham. I’m good right here.”
He chuckles, stepping towards your en suite. “Alright, thanks. I’ll be out of your hair in a second.”
You really hope it’ll only take a few seconds for him to scrounge around the cabinets and leave you to fall back asleep in peace.
“OH HOLY SHIT!”
Your head shoots up at Bucky’s exclamation. 
“WHAT THE FUCK?!”
You jump out of the bed, scrambling to make your way to the bathroom. Oh God, what happened? Is he okay?
“Bucky, what’s wrong?” You ask, roughly rubbing the sleep from your eyes.
“What the FUCK happened in here?!” He points towards the shower, your gaze following the direction of his gesture.
Along the normally pristine, squeaky-clean glass barrier rest several dried, rust-colored markings.
“Did you guys MURDER someone in here?! Jesus! Clean up after yourselves, would ya?” He quickly snatches a tube from inside the cabinet before storming out of your room entirely.
You walk closer to the shower to examine the markings better. After a few moments, you easily decipher what each shape is. 
A few are large handprints – Steve’s undoubtedly – with wide palms and thick digits. Others are more delicate – must be your own – with slender, gracile fingers. There are a few downward dragging lines where you must have run your palms along the glass; God, you don’t even remember doing that. And finally, what seems to be a pretty solid breast impression right smack-dab in the center of the door.
Huh. You must’ve pressed your chest into the glass after Steve played ‘bloody body-paint’.
Of course, none of this was intentional. You didn’t mean to leave the shower an absolute bloody nightmare. In your ecstasy-riddled brains after coming down from your respective highs, neither of you had noticed the crime scene you’d left plastered on the walls.
Oh well, you shrug. Steve can deal with it when he gets back from his run. It's too early and you’re too tired to scrub and hose down the shower right at this moment.
Besides, it was his idea in the first place. He’d convinced you that the best place to make a mess is in the shower.
That is, as long as you remember to clean up afterwards.
__________
A/N: So there we go! I'd love to know what you thought! I was considering titling this Crimson Prints, or Scarlet Palms, or maybe even Caught Red-Handed lol but eventually settled with the title as it is. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Spoink Note - A Mystic Messenger Fic - Chapter 4 - Seven/Saeyoung Choi
Pairings:  MC/each RFA member individually
Warnings:  NSFW, definite sexy times included!
Summary:  MC finds a blank notebook and decides to fill it with her fantasies about the RFA, with unexpected results…
Author’s Note:  Hi all!  This is something that ‘came up’ while talking in the @mysmessengerdiscord​ with @yusuuna​ and, well, it grew legs and ran away with me!
Chapter 1 - Yoosung Kim
Chapter 2 - Jaehee Kang
Chatper 3 - Zen/Hyun Ryu
Spoink Note - Chapter 4 - Seven/Saeyoung Choi
Tumblr media
Spoink Note - Chapter 4 - Seven/Saeyoung Choi
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MC put down her phone as she closed the chatroom.  Saeyoung’s idea really could make some money for the organisation, especially with the two of them working together.  The problem was she had a dirty little idea in her head that wouldn’t shut up until she got it on paper.
🧽🧽🧽🧽🧽
‘Twirl for me!’  Seven made MC turn in a circle, the edges of her maid dress flareing with the many petticoats underneath, displaying a good deal of thigh, the right one graced with a lacy garter.  ‘You look gorgeous!’  He laughed, giving her a once over.
‘One thing I don’t understand though,’ MC pouted, ‘is how you look better in it than me.’
Seven posed, his own dress a match for MC’s, down to the little apron and heels.  He had forgone his wig, looking cute even without full makeup.  ‘Because I OWN this look!’
‘Weirdly, that’s true.’  She walked over to the video camera on its tripod, checking the angle and connection to the computer before setting it running.  ‘Time to make some money.’
‘Oh yeah, baby.’  Seven picked up a soapy sponge from the bucket beside one of his babies before walking out in front of the camera and beckoning MC to him.  ‘Hey, everyone, we are going to be live washing these gorgeous sports cars for the next few hours, and the more you donate to the RFA, the wetter we will get!’  He squeezed the sponge out before them as he pulled MC over with his arm around her shoulders.  ‘So come on, put your hands in your pants…pockets!  And splash some cash!’
Seven left MC’s side and sauntered over to the car behind them, he had been all for giving his babies a special clean and making some money in the process, but MC had some ideas of her own, winking at the camera before grabbing her own sponge from the soapy bucket.  Resting the sponge on the hood of the red car, MC bent in Saeyoung’s eye line, ensuring she leant far forward.
‘Is this the best way to do it?  I don’t want to damage the paintwork.’  She asked without looking back at him, but she didn’t need to.  She could feel his eyes on her like a solid thing.
‘Uh…a bit more like this.’  He showed her with his own sponge and she tilted her head before leaning further over the hood.  ‘Like this?’
‘Not quite.’
‘This?’  She looked over her shoulder at Seven who was visibly flushed, his eyes on her rear.  Dunking the sponge again, she drew it dripping to her chest and soaked herself through, trailing it in a zig zag motion down her torso and stopping at her crotch to squeeze the sponge, creating a dripping mess down her thighs.  ‘Here?’
‘Shit.’  Seven breathed heavily and his feet were moving without him telling them to, his lips crashing into MC’s before he pulled her tight against him.  His tongue quickly found its way into her mouth and there was nothing gentle about the kiss, teeth clashing as they both groaned.
Seven’s hands ran over MC’s hips and down to her thighs, pulling her up onto her tiptoes as he ground against her before lifting her to sit on the soapy hood.  His hands pushed up her dress as his tongue continued to taste her hungrily.  He hooked his fingers into her underwear, pulling them over her hips and down as he tore his lips from hers, leaving her gasping as she grasped at his hair.
‘You good with this?’  He asked breathily.
‘So good with it.’  She licked at his lips gently before he dropped to his knees.
Pushing her shins he rested her heels on the bumper, his eyes trailing over her appreciatively.  In any other situation he would have praised God, but it felt a little blasphemous given what he was about to do.  He trailed his index finger around one side of her, caressing it reverently.  Her thighs still dripped with soapy water as his other hand slid over it, his lips following it with teasing kisses and nips that had MC shift with need.
‘Please, Saeyoung.’  She groaned, feeling his breath against her, so close and yet so far.
‘Uh uh, MC, you know what to call me.  Ask properly and ye shall receive.’
‘Please, God Seven.’
His lips were on her before she even finished the sentence, sloppily eating at her like she was his last meal.  MC’s head dropped back as his tongue and lips worked magic on her, drawing her rapidly towards the edge.  His tongue swirled over her sensitive nub, her fingers tightening in his hair, but he withdrew, watching her tremble around him, her delicious juices coating his chin.
‘Not yet.’  He sucked the skin of her thigh into his mouth and she knew she would be marked for days to come.
Seven made a small pop as he released her flesh, looking proudly at the raw mark he had left, before turning his attention back to her core.  He trailed his fingers around her opening before slowly slipping two inside.  The strangled groan she gave was enough to have his already heavy groin pulse with desire, but he wanted this, he wanted her writhing and begging him.  Curling his fingers he felt her clench around him as her hips bucked, the noises she made shooting straight to his crotch.
‘You like that, hmm?’  He grinned to himself as he drew closer to her, his fingers stroking and stretching her.  ‘I can’t hear you.’
‘Yes, God Seven, I like it!’  She gasped, amazed by what he was achieving with his hands and mouth alone.
‘Good.’  His tongue darted out and stroked her clit, a cry emitting from her lips as he added a third finger.
MC could feel herself drawing closer again, Seven’s tongue alternately between lapping like a cat and firmly using the tip, his fingers turning and twisting as though he knew exactly where to touch her for maximum effect.
Seven shoved his other hand into his underwear, freeing his straining cock and giving it shuddering pumps.  He could feel she was as close as he was, clenching around him as he turned his palm around his length.  He was losing his rhythm, the closer her got, but MC raised her hips against him, forcing herself into his face, and he stopped thinking.  He licked and sucked as frantically as his hands moved, fingers curling as he thrust himself into his fist.  Hungry, desperate noises fell from his lips and he felt the moment her body gave, spasms thrumming through her that drew him to his own ending, going up on his knees to buck into himself, pressing his tongue against her, hot fluids dowsed over both his hands.
As MC’s mind began to return Seven pulled her down into his lap, sinking onto his heels as his hand pushed her sweat soaked hair away from her temples.  ‘MC, I…’
🧽🧽🧽🧽🧽
WHACK
‘Hey, get back to work!’
Seven flinched as he was smacked around the head by Vanderwood with a rolled wad of paper, cringing at the sting it left on his ear.  He focused and saw the code before him, the cursor flashing as though to taunt.  Where the hell had that incredibly wet daydream come from?  Not that he was complaining, but, well, wow!
🧽🧽🧽🧽🧽
MC stretched.  Somehow she knew Seven would be as good with his hands as he was his mouth, even if it was just in her imagination and, now, in her journal.

Senior Year Adventures (Zuko xOC) pt.16
“So much for a drama free New Years”
“Hey Ki?” Zuko knocked on Kianna’s bedroom door “are you almost ready, we gotta leave soon.
“yeah I’m ready” she puts some last-minute touches to her red lipstick, grabbed her purse and opened the door. Zuko was standing there with his arm on the side of the door. He was wearing a black long-sleeved turtleneck and black pants with a red jacket to finish the look. ‘man can this guy dress’
“wow, you look beautiful” Zuko gives her a sly smirk when he sees the blush creep up on her cheeks.
“do you mind taking a picture of me?” Kianna hands Zuko her phone. She turned slightly posing for the picture.
“Ok come on” Zuko looked at her with his phone in her hand.
“what, do I need to change my angle” she turns her body
“no, you look beautiful, I just” Zuko rubs her face “your butt is showing”
“well yeah that’s the whole point” she gets back into the pose she was first “now take the picture”
Zuko took a few pictures, changing his angle a few times before handing the phone to her.
“are you going to post this?” Kianna takes the phone to look at the pictures.
“I mean yeah” she looks at him to see an uncertain look on his face “ok what’s wrong”
“nothing, I just”, he sighs “as much as I want everyone to know your mine, I don’t really want anyone to be able to look at your ass anytime they want”
Her expression shifted, she hoped Zuko wouldn’t notice but of course he did.
“I’m not trying to control you or anything I promise,” he steps closer and puts his hands on her waist “I just can’t help but be a little possessive”
“no, I don’t feel like your controlling me, and I’m sorry I guess I never thought of it like that, I just thought I looked cute”
“you look gorgeous, forget I said anything you can post anything you want” Zuko felt a little sad he didn’t want to push his insecurities on her, he didn’t want to make her feel like he’s trying to change her.
“no Zuko, if you feel a type of way about its i’ll pose differently, here you can keep the ass pics I’ll take one from the side”. She pushes the phone back to Zuko and does a side pose. She can see him smile while he takes the picture. After the mini photoshoot, Kianna forced Zuko to take some picture too, the two quickly hurried to Zuko’s car (he opened the door for her – what a gentlemen). The ride to Toph’s house wants long, but it was enough time for Ki’s nerves to spiral. Somehow Zuko could tell she was silently freaking out and like the good boyfriend he is, he placed his hand on hers to calm her nerves. Even though the two haven’t been dating long it felt like they have known each other for years. Kianna apricates how sweet and understanding Zuko can be and Zuko feels like he’s lucky to find someone as patient and open as Kianna is. Kianna instantly feels better when she holds his hand. She doesn’t let go when the walk from the car, to inside Tophs house. The first people to greet them where some players from the soccer team. Kianna wasn’t listening because she was too busy looking for her friends, but she assumed that they were still trying to get Zuko to try out for the team. Zuko spots their friends before she does, he tells the soccer guys he will see them later and guides Kianna towards the group. Sokka was the first to notice the new couple, he gives both of them a smirk. Sokka draws the attention of the group to look at Zuko and Kianna. The pair finally get to the group and everyone notices them holding hands.
“so, you guys are together now, officially” Katara looks at the two, crossing her arms over her chest.
“yes, its official now” Kianna couldn’t help the bright smile that formed on her face.
“good cause Azula told me you guys almost did each other in my kitchen and I wasn’t keeping that secret long” toph says as she gets up and leaves the group. Everyone’s eyes turn to the two in amusement. The couple blush furiously as their friends stare at them.
“I think we’re going to get a drink” Kianna pulls Zuko away from the group. The two walks to the kitchen weaving through the crowed. Zuko walked over to the drinks to make drinks for them while Kianna stayed towards the entrance of the kitchen. Basically, the whole school was at this party, she saw people she knew, people she’s seen before and some people she had never seen before, ‘people form another school are probably here.’ Zuko walked up to her and handed her a drink as he was talking to Haru. The two were deep in a conversation about some video game so Kianna slipped away to find Katara and suki. Now that her and Zuko were out in the open, she wanted to show them the beautiful ring Zuko gave her. She gave the house a quick walkthrough before she checked her phone. A few messages from Zuko asking where she went was quickly ignored when she noticed the group chat going off.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She rolled her eyes at her friends’ messages.
‘I can be in the same place as jet’
she thought
‘I’m totally over what happened, I mean I’m not going to be friends with the guy, but I can be civil’
just when she turned around to walk to where Zuko said he was, she saw him. Jet. He didn’t look any different from the last time she saw him. Still had brown untamed hair, a smirk glued to his face, and dark clothes to put together his ‘bad boy’ look. And of course, he sees her too, he makes his way to her, wearing the same smirk that used to make her weak in the knees a year ago.
“Well well,” he says when he finally reaches her.” If it isn’t Kianna, long time no see huh”
“Hey jet” she sighs with slight irritation 
“Well damn I guess your not happy to see me”
“well I’m not really jumping for joy, am I?”
“Look I get it, I treated you like shit and you hate me, but I’m a changed man, Kianna rolls her eyes,” no really I’m different, and I came to this party cause I knew you would be here”
“Oh god not only are you saying you changed but your stalking me? I’m walking away now.” Before she could turn around, he stops her with a hand on her wrist.
“I came to apologize, not to stalk you. I want to move past this, be friends like we used to be.”she looks at him, waiting to he the grand apology.
“I’m sorry I treated you badly, I had no reason to do that when I was supposed to love you and care for you and instead I tore you down, I know an apology will never be enough but I miss my friend. I miss the Kianna I grew up. I know I messed up bad, but I want to fix our friendship.” She found herself speechless. This was old jet talking. Jet before becoming a jerk, jet who she grew up with the jet she shared secrets with and hang out with everyday. Part of her wanted to hug him, welcome back his friendship, but the other part of her thought back to how bad things ended with them, how bad the relationship was. She continuously fought everyone who said he was no good for her, defended him when he did into deserve it.
“I appreciate the apology, but I think it’ll be a while before I could trust you again. He looks down at his shoes for a Brief moment before looking back in her eyes.
“I understand, and I’m sorry again,” He pauses as if he’s debating on saying what he’s going to say “I heard you with that Zuko guy, just be careful.”
“what, why are you of all people warning me about someone”
“I know I know, but seriously, I’ve heard some things from his ex, there not good”
“Look I don’t know what you heard but Zuko is a good guy” she turns preparing to walk away
“don’t defend him like you did to me” she stops dead in her tracks, her mind racing with what he just said, ever inch of her body was fueled with rage as she walked back up to him and slapped him, hard. 
“no one will ever do you me what you did to me, just own up to the fact that I moved on to someone better and stop trying to bring me down like you did when we where together.” She brushed last him, making sure to hit his shoulder with hers, and walked to her old room. ‘So much for a drama free New Years’

WoR Online
White Rose Week 2019, Day 2: Touch
Weiss wasn't one for video games, but she seemingly wasn't one for friends either, given her complete lack of them.  Her loneliness convinces her to try the latest fad, World of Remnant Online.  All she wanted was someone to spend time with, but in the end she finds so much more...
https://archiveofourown.org/works/19177582
“This is stupid,” Weiss muttered, looking down at the VR gear in her lap. She still wasn't sure why she'd thought it was a good idea, but she'd had so much trouble trying to relax and make friends at college, and when she saw the advertisement for the first ever fully immersive VR online game, she'd decided to give it a try. It was stupid, she didn't even like video games, but before she could think things through she'd bought a top of the line VR set and had the game ready to go.
With one last sigh, and a quick check to see if her door really was locked, she put the gear on. At first it was dark, but a moment later the menu opened, and she soon found herself building an avatar. The system actually used 3D scans of the player as a basis, and while she could change things she left the basic looks alone, just focusing on picking out the perfect dress and accessories to wear. The final result was cute, and it even had a cool rapier.
Before long she was immersed in the game, running around and fighting the monstrous Grimm and saving people. It felt good, but the only real people she'd interacted with were men who spent the whole time flirting with her. She'd been hoping to make friends, not be endlessly hit on, so to avoid more of that she headed deep into the wilderness, which turned out to be a bad move for a newbie like herself.
“Great, just great,” she muttered as she hid behind a rock, peeking out at the giant, spine covered monstrosity keeping her pinned down. She couldn't beat something like that! She'd only been playing for a few hours… she barely had a handle on casting spells, and none of them looked like they'd be able to hurt it.
It apparently heard her, as it turned sharply her way and began lumbering closer. Jumping up, Weiss turned and ran, but its legs were so long that it easily caught up to her. Just as she was sure she was about to learn what dying in World of Remnant was like a figure dressed in red and black blurred past her.
Weiss stumbled to a stop, jaw gaping as she watched the player, a girl around her size and age if her avatar was accurate, cutting the giant monster down to size with a few quick chops of her scythe. Once it was dead she posed dramatically for a moment, red cap cluttering in the wind, before turning to look at Weiss.
“Hey!” she chirped brightly. “Are you alright?”
“Y-yeah,” Weiss stuttered, before clearing her throat. “I would've been fine.”
“Sorry, it's just… you seem a little low level to be in this zone,” she said. “Did you get lost?”
Weiss checked the player's name, and then nodded stiffly. “I'm new to the game, and I was trying to get away from some people in the start area. I guess I didn't know how dangerous it could be out here. Thank you, Crescent Rose.”
The woman giggled merrily. “Yeah, there's a lotta jerks, but there's nice people, too! Why don't you Friend me?”
“How do I do that?” Weiss asked, a little embarrassed.
Crescent Rose didn't tease her for not knowing, simply talking her quickly through the menus until she'd added her to her friends list, making her her first. Weiss decided not to mention the depressing truth that she now had more online friends than real ones.
Weiss had expected the more experienced player to go do her own thing, but instead she decided to help her out. By the time she logged off that evening Weiss was not only much higher level, but also much more comfortable with the game, and eager to return to it. Even better, she considered Crescent Rose to be a real friend.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, and Weiss continued to grow closer to her new friend. She learned her real name, Ruby, and even got her real life contact information. They not only adventured together in World of Remnant every day, with Weiss eventually catching up to her in level so that they could quest together, but they also communicated with their phones day after day, until Weiss couldn't imagine not telling Ruby everything that came to mind.
One thing was lacking in their relationship, though. Ruby was very touchy feely, and in the game she'd gotten Weiss into the habit of frequently high fiving her when things went well, offering a hand up when one of them fell, and even hugging when they first met everyday. Weiss had never been much for physical contact, her family being distant at best, but she'd found herself enjoying the physical affection. Unfortunately, they couldn't actually touch each other; the VR system created a distant, blunt echo of the nuanced sense, enough to make her know she was being touched, but leaving her craving the real thing.
“Hey, Weiss,” Ruby said one day, her voice conspicuously casual. Ruby rarely did casual, babbling cheerfully about even the most mundane topics, and the tone instantly drew Weiss's attention.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the best moment to be distracted, a truth that was driven home when she almost lost her head a moment later to the Manticore they were fighting. “What?”
Ruby blurred, activating her super speed power, slashing the monster up and drawing its attention. When it turned away from Weiss she jumped back, and when she did Weiss blasted it with a powerful ice attack. They then both struck as one, finally finishing the area boss off.
“You live in Atlas, right?” Ruby asked causally.
“Yes,” Weiss said.
“Well… I was thinking… I'm gonna be visiting that area soon, and, well…”
“Just spit it out!”
“How would you like to meet up?”
Weiss froze for a moment. “Meet up?”
“Yeah,” Ruby said excitedly, before looking down at her hands and poking her fingers together nervously. “We've been friends for a while now, but we've never really seen each other, you know? You don't even use social media.”
“So you want to… meet up?” Weiss asked nervously.
“Yeah!” Ruby said. “It'd be fun.”
“I- okay,” Weiss said.
“Yes!” Ruby shouted, jumping into a hug. Once again she couldn't truly feel it, but Weiss savored the virtual closeness all the same.
They made plans after that, and so a week later Weiss was sitting nervously in a nice cafe waiting for Ruby to show up. She was recognizable, as she hadn't made any real changes to her avatar's appearance. What about Ruby, though? She was really good with computers, so she'd probably made an avatar that looked nothing like herself.
Then a girl around her own age walked through the door, and Weiss felt her jaw drop. She did look a little different from the computer version, but the details actually made her more beautiful. The silver eyes and black and red hair were real, and just staring into those eyes made Weiss's heart beat faster.
“There you are!” Ruby called, running over. “Wow, your hair is real, and that badass scar, too! I thought you'd added those in the editor. You look… wow!”
“You look beautiful as well,” Weiss said before she could stop herself.
Ruby blushed and grinned, pausing in front of Weiss for a moment, before darting forward for a hug just like she did in the game. Weiss reacted as normal, putting her arms awkwardly around her back, but this time was different. Ruby was soft and warm, and her heart sped up even faster at being able to really touch her best friend for the first time.
As they held each other in the small Atlas cafe, Weiss wished that moment could last forever. Little did she know, it was only the first of many, many happy memories they would make that trip, and during the lifetime together that followed it.

At last I see the (sun) light
Good – morning this time!
Yeah, as predicted, yesterday ran very late, so I decided to leave writing my report for the next day and just go to bed already, haha. I’m starting my report in the morning while I’m trying to think of plans for today, so I might just drop the report and finish it later, but here we go – Tokyo Disneyland!
Pictures will be up later today!
It’s definitely not my first time to Tokyo Disneyland, although usually I take the subway to get there. Since I have my JR pass still active and I haven’t been using it much in Tokyo, I refused to take a mode of transportation I had to pay for, so I first went to Tokyo station with the Yamanote line. From there, it’s 15 minutes with the Keiyo line, but that’s all the way at the other end at the station, so you can seriously add another 15 minutes to the travel time. I wasn’t exaggerating when I called Tokyo station a separate city!
The Yamanote line came to an abrupt halt halfway through as the emergency brake had been activated, but it must be a false alarm or otherwise easily solved issue, as we continued a couple of minutes later. It was indeed quite the walk to the Keiyo line, but they put up signs every five steps, so at least it was a very easy road to follow.
And then Maihama station! The weather had turned out to be incredibly nice today, with blue skies so bright I could easily see the Skytree and – was that the snowy top of Mount Fuji? It sure was! That’s how clear the skies were, haha.
Anyway, the walk from the station was a bit different. I know they’re working on a new area inside the park, but apparently they’re also doing extensive redevelopments, because the main entrance was under covers and there were cranes surrounding the castle. After the entrance, the first Halloween decorations came in sight, and part of the fun: watching everyone’s costumes! It’s only during Halloween season that you’re allowed to dress up in Tokyo Disneyland as an adult, and lots of people make use of that opportunity. Some costumes are so good I had to blink and stare to realize they were not the official cast members (which is, incidentally, why it’s not allowed to dress up the rest of the year – you might confuse the kids). Also, it makes for fun situations, like Alice standing in line for lunch with the Queen of Hearts or Belle posing with the park version of Gaston while 5 other princesses watch with interest, haha.
I was inside a little after opening, so I lingered around to wait for the first parade: the Spooky Boo Halloween parade! It’s held twice over the day and thus a short one, but I love Halloween, so I was curious to see what they’d pulled. The parade mostly features the best known characters: Mickey and his friends. They taught us a dance and halfway through, the parade came to a halt for a dance performance. The dancing cast members had gorgeous costumes! They were really into it too, so that was a joy to watch, and I’m kinda sad I couldn’t get a good full view of them on my camera from where I was standing to show you guys, only glimpses in between people’s heads.
I was in for something sweet now, so I wandered into Fantasyland for what I thought was a churro, but ended up being a tipo torta, which – I’m not entirely sure what it is, but it was delicious! I got it in purple sweet potato flavor, because I felt obliged after Okinawa haha, and purple is a Halloween color here, so the sweet potato from Okinawa gets used liberally this time of the year.
I had chosen the Haunted Mansion as my appropriate first ride of today, because duh, Halloween. The wait was 40 minutes when I joined, which was okay if it weren’t for the hot sun, so I was glad to make it inside for the Nightmare before Christmas version of this ride. I really love it a lot – I think it was summer 2017 that I last saw the ride in its original form, oops.
After that, I went back inside again for another favorite ride: Mickey’s Philharmagic Orchestra. There was a small wait here, and a ton of kids who got really into the screening (it’s 4D, so the 3D effects are heavy and you get sprayed with water and scented air in between), so that was kinda cute, haha. They were all making grabby hands at the apple pie and Ariel’s gems.
Once outside, I stumbled upon some character meet and greets in Fantasyland, and then right into the Dreaming Up parade. It’s a lovely one, but I’ve seen it twice now fairly recently, so I wasn’t going to wait on the floor for it. Didn’t have to! I got an okay spot for the visually most impressive floats, so that was a nice little coincidence, haha.
Next up was Pirates of the Caribbean, which I love, but the drop is the scariest thing I do in Disneyland, so I wasn’t super pleased about being put in the front row, haha. I lived, but it took a while for my pulse to calm down. (I’m big on the thrill rides, you can tell.) It’s still super fun, and outside was a band of pirates playing! I think they were kind of trying to spread the crowds today, as it was probably a bit busier than initially expected due to the weather and a couple of rides that tend to draw crowds were closed for today.
After some lunch, wandering around for the views and some window shopping, I settled down next to Snow White’s wishing well to wait for round two of the Spooky Boo parade. About ten Snow Whites and other princesses showed up to take pictures by the well, haha. Sadly, the parade only made a quick round here without dancing in between, but I did get much better shots of the floats now!
And it wasn’t that bad, because I had wisely gotten a fast pass for Haunted Mansion at the same time as the parade, so now I didn’t have to rush as the parade was over quite quickly. I didn’t see the Haunted Mansion wait go down to under my 40 minutes anymore, so that fast pass had been a good call. (I think they’re connected to your ticket now, because I had to scan my entrance ticket and not the fast pass receipt to get in line.)
After that, the iconic ride: It’s a Small World! It’s still fun, and I think I’m mostly past my trauma over the song now, haha. I couldn’t help wanting to take pictures here and there, even though I have a ton already. Spotting the recently added Disney characters is quite fun.
It was getting dark quickly now, and I noticed I was getting a bit bumped out. I kept getting lost in the dark and with the covered parts of the park, so I eventually told myself to just get something sweet and then decide whether I was going to call it an uncharacteristically early day.
As it turned out I just needed food, haha. A hot dog for lunch wasn’t sufficient to get me through the complete afternoon, who knew! I got some ice coffee for the caffeine rush (bad, I know, but hey), bought a little gift for a friend, and was just in time to see the electrical parade Dreamlights. This one changed a little a couple of years ago, but overall it’s still the same one as the one I saw in 2010. It’s still fun, even though the song is even catchier than It’s a small world, haha. They added a tiny something that I spotted right away: Alice was riding a giant teacup on top of the Cheshire cat, rather than the cat’s back proper. I was a bit further away this time, so I got some nice shots of the full floats. I eh, have plenty of close-ups from earlier years, haha.
I then finally made the decision to just get the new Tangled popcorn bucket, which is shaped like the floating lantern from the movie with a little Pascal the chameleon to sit on your shoulder on the strap. There’s a light inside, so that makes for lovely sights in the evening, although the amount of popcorn (caramel flavor at this stand) that came with it was – worrying, haha. I did manage to finish it all though, despite not being the biggest popcorn eater, but whoa. (You can get the bucket separately from the popcorn so you won’t have to clean it, but the popcorn separately means you get two cartons of them, since that’s how much can fit into the bucket.)
Newly invigorated, I decided to get back to attractions. I went into the Enchanted Tiki room first as it was nearby and I love the songs and Stitch. It’s very much a kids attraction and I very much don’t care, haha. If anything, the line is non-existent here and you just have to wait for the next performance to begin.
I then found the ball game stand, which I suck at, but that’s okay, because you get to pick a really nice exclusive pin if you lose, so I got the Minnie one, haha. Making my way back to Fantasyland from there, I hopped into Philharmagic again, the line gone and just having to wait for the next performance to start. There’s a merit in staying late, haha. I rushed to Peter Pan next, where the wait was down to 15 minutes. It’s a fun ride, but it’s over so fast that I can’t justify standing in line for 50 minutes for it.
Finally, with ten minutes until park closure to go, I went to Pooh’s Hunny Hunt – and they closed the line after me, oops. Two more ladies came rushing in via the fastpass entrance, but that was it. Pooh’s Hunny Hunt is a fun and unique ride, but since I’m not a big fan of Pooh bear, I refuse to wait for him for 70+ minutes, haha. This worked, even though it was still about 10 minutes. Around park closure! Wow.
There were still surprisingly many people in the park as I made my way to the exit, some even still on the way into the park. I wonder at what time they can actually close the gates… Hopefully the park members work in shifts, yikes.
After a quick last look in the Bon Voyage store just outside the park I made my way to the station, where I had to wait for the next Keiyo line train as this one was… very full. At 10:30 PM. Ah, the Disney magic, haha. (The people from Disneysea also gather at this station.) Thankfully that got me a front row place in line for the next train, so I could sit (!) until the terminal station of Tokyo, where it was another brisk walk to the Yamanote line and finally, back to my hotel.
 So here I am now. I took a shower last night and fell asleep almost right away. Didn’t sleep through my alarm at least, but I did put it on snooze and only got up as late as possible to still eat breakfast at the hotel here, haha.
Today should be a little calmer. I might do some karaoke and find a café I read about opening some months ago, but other than that, I don’t really have plans. Sadly, the weather is getting bad again starting tonight, thanks to yet another typhoon making rounds. It should be gone by the time my return flight is scheduled, though.
Yikes, time flies. It’s Thursday and I’m flying back on Monday! Ack. Sadly I don’t think many of my Tokyo side tips can go through, if any. A bit of a waste of my JR pass, but it’s long since paid itself back and hey, I will still use it for the Narita Express to the airport if nothing else. I don’t want to over-exert myself or put myself into dangerous situations, so I might just stick to Tokyo until the last day (although Saturday should be alright weather wise, at least less rainy, but again, dangerous situations). And hey, I haven’t gone back to just Tokyo on 2 separate trips because I hate it here, haha. Although with all the things I’ve seen around here, I might have to cash in on that extra luggage… After that huge book I found the other day, I’m already nearing my limit, and the cost of overweight luggage is as much as an extra bag at Don Quijote would cost, so uh. I can still think about it until 24 hours before the flight, so that’s what I will do, haha.
Time to head out. Photos coming up soon, see you later!

my first exo concert!
Tumblr media
just gonna detail my experience going to my first exo concert as a 1.5-year-old exol. this is the Singapore 190915 EXplOration concert, missing ksoo (my crown prince) and xiu (my second prince). (p.s. jun is my third prince so that’s why i bought his fan ---- my face when i realised i unknowingly stanned exo’s enlistment line after ksoo dropped the bomb on us: 😊🔫)
and still missing lay, of course (*rolls eyes at china*). it was a blast but i didn’t die too hard, probably because it’s just 6 of them haha. my throat still died from screaming so hard though.
in my rambling i shall cover details of the merch in the picture, and comments (babbling) on each member.
to my great fortune, i was seated in the middle of a middle block facing the stage. i didn’t want to attend the concert in the standing pen area because i prefer observing the group as a whole to being up and close with them but missing out on all the dance formations. i’m here forking over S$302 for a concert where i can’t see ksoo or xiu so... anyway even if they were here i would still prefer to sit and watch the full performance.
the black banner (which i still can’t read) was laid on every seat, and overleaf, exols were asked to hold this banner up during their ending ment. the community is really cute.
the eribong v.3 is pretty when lit up (more later). it came with the bottom right sticker set, and a random photocard. i managed to trade for a ksoo card in the end :-)
the 7th anniversary pink leather keychain is not part of concert merch, but it’s pretty so i threw it into the pic (only for this concert did i break it out of its box to attach it to my bag LOL)
[ksoo]
i got a ksoo ... vertical banner? thin poster? thing after the concert was over, when merchants were desperate to sell their unsold goods. of course there was a ton of baek yeol 5ehun jun and j0ngin merch, but i was surprised i didn’t see as much of dae than i did ksoo. perhaps dae’s merch already sold out?? anyway, i saw ksoo’s marie claire photo and IMMEDIATELY shuffled over to ask for the price, which wasn’t too bad ($5, which became $4 because the merchant didn’t have exact change)
[xiu]
i pasted a xiu name sticker on one side of the eribong, and ksoo on the other. doubles as a “yeah these are my first 2 princes″ and a “at least they’re still with me today in spirit” ... *bursts into tears*
for xiu’s merch, there was NOTHING except maybe a tiny photo of him bunched with other members’ photos. i kept asking “do you have xium1n?” *merchant who usually isn’t a fan is confused* “um... kim minse0k?” *?* “this one, *points to xiu in a group photo*, do you have?” *shows me a j0ngin pic* “ok nvm” this was extremely upsetting. but hey at least i got to see xiu in printed group photos. because...
[lay]
lay didn’t even make an APPEARANCE amongst the goods. rip xingmis. a fellow exol told me someone in the standing pen was waving a ZYX banner around though, so there’s still hope amongst the singaporean xingmis at least
[junmye0n]
i got a fan-produced jun fan before the concert because i didn’t know the venue was air-conditioned haha whoops.
during the concert, his second outfit (after the tempo perf) was a poofy white long-sleeved top and rather well-fitting black trousers/pants and lemme tell you.... HE’S PRINCE ERIC. HE’S SO HANDSOME AND HE’S SO NICE AND SWEET AND HIS ENGLISH WAS SO GOOD, LIKE, EVERYONE IS WHIPPED FOR KSOO’S ENGLISH BUT HONESTLY JUN REALLY TRIED TO COMMUNICATE TO US IN ENGLISH IT WAS AMAZING AND HE PUTS IN SO MUCH EFFORT AND HE SHOULD BE APPRECIATED MORE (and this is coming from a ksoo stan..). you have no idea how upset i was when everyone was screaming their heads off for the other 5 performing members during their little video interludes, but when jun came on screen, there were just screams. heads did not pop off. NO! WHAT IS THIS DISRESPECT AND UNDERAPPRECIATION???!!!! i screamed my head off for him but one person alone can’t make up for the difference... jun was so nice and kept waving and making eye contact with the audience, doing cute poses for us here and there, being his little awkward leader self (as SM boy band leaders seem to do...), and basically tanking the transitions between performances. christ. also he freakin CARRIED the backing vocals AND the main vocals (i mean dae and baek too but everyone already explicitly appreciates them so i don’t need to give them special mention for carrying). he is ALWAYS being slept on, and it’s just not doing him justice. what the hell. junmye0n deserves the world :-(
for his BEEN THROUGH 👀👀👀👀 performance, he told us he decided to change the shirt colour to red because he thought it would match Singapore well (or something along those lines). like. WOW????? THANK YOU FOR EVEN CONSIDERING MY COUNTRY IS WORTH NOTICING TO CHANGE YOUR OUTFIT???? i hope i’m not sounding sarcastic - it’s such a small action but i felt a little touched?? like wow, he noticed.
my binoculars was glued on him half the time. he’s so handsome and pretty at the same time. part of the reason why i still went was to see if everyone’s claims that “suh0’s pictures don’t do him justice” were legitimate because when i first saw jun′s pic (i forgot which exact one), i literally thought, “that’s the handsomest man i’ve ever seen”. so i suppose the claim depends on angles. because ALL of em look like their pictures - their GOOD-ANGLE pictures. MEANING, jun looks as good as his best photos (which tend to be the ones where he faces straight to the front), but now he looks good from whichever angle in motion. he is actually very fair-skinned too! his face was like a beacon of light.
also, in his first ment greeting us, he was such a cheeseball saying our country is beautiful... like us. JUNMYE0N PLEASE.
nearing the end of the concert HE TOLD US NOT TO CRY (along with j0ngin or yeol, can’t remember). THEY’RE GONNA SING THEIR LAST SONG, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO BE THEIR LAST SONG, BECAUSE THEY’LL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS, RIGHT? HJAGKN;KLSKGKS :”””””(
so to reiterate: i have the biggest soft spot for junmye0n and i love him.
[5ehun]
OH, DURING ONE SONG, 5EHUN CAME OVER TO RUB HIS HEAD ON JUN’S CHEST, AND I WAS LIKE AAAWWWW!!!!! and died. but jun’s back was facing me so i more or less couldn’t see much. after the concert, i found out that  5EHUN TRIED TO LIFT JUN’S SHIRT TO SHOW HIS ABS DURING THE NUZZLE. so i revived and died again. there were a lot of other small interactions too. seho stans won tonight.
below are some of my friend’s standing pen privilege pics:
what i could see from my seat behind -
Tumblr media
what i DIDN’T KNOW 5EHUN TRIED FOR A HOT SECOND:
Tumblr media
seho stan: *dies*
anyway... i wasn’t paying close attention to 5ehun during group performances (other than when it was his solo dance break and exo-sc perfs), tho i felt like he wasn’t as “engaged” as, say, jun or yeol. but i thought that was normal because yaknow... he’s not very talkative, and i was probably getting that impression just from his naturally stern (rbf LOL) face. 
his dance break was COOL and his exo-sc performances were LIVELY. and when he actually gets to sing (... T_T) nothing went wrong so i thought everything was fine.
however, during one of his ments, 5ehun admitted to us that he felt bad coz he wasn’t up to standard today (because he’s sick?? translator was not doing a thorough job, i got this info from another friend), and he’s sorry. some of us were like “huh?? no?? GWAENCHANA!!!!” and the translator said he said, “no i’m not saying this just so yall will say that, if you continue i’m not gonna share my feelings like this anymore” so we all shut up.
i can’t remember if it was in that same ment, but during one of the ments, the whole time 5ehun was talking, jun was standing waayyyy in front of the line to turn his body to look at 5ehun. i think he was worried for him :”( 5ehunnie bb please don’t beat yourself up over this. my friend in the standing pen said yeah, he was pretty out of it today, he kept staring into space instead of making eye contact with fans. :-(
[j0ngin]
spEAKING of out of it, the same can be said for j0ngin. don’t get me wrong, his dancing was still otherworldly. i was looking through my binoculars to focus on the dance formation and/or jun, but suddenly i was like “wait, i’ve been looking at ka1 dancing this whole time”. IT’S SO FLUID AND SHARP AT THE SAME TIME. EVERY MOVE IS EXECUTED PERFECTLY. IT JUST DRAWS YOU IN.
... but that can only be said for some stages. i felt like his moves were not as sharp/confident sometimes?? i mean they were still graceful, but somehow it feels kinda tired???????? k who am i to judge, i’m not the one dancing and singing for 2 hours straight lmao he obviously needs downtime...
THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT. unfortunately, during the ments, he also wasn’t very hyper (like hE WOULD BE WITH A CERTAIN SOMEONE.............. UGH MY KADI HEART IS ACHING). he dance-bopped around and interacted with yeol a little but that’s all. i know j0ngin is actually a shy boi but he REALLY didn’t talk much. :-(  i honestly suspect the Other Project (s*perM) is tiring him tf out.
am i hallucinating? or maybe i’m being overdramatic. i don’t know. it’s not that i was constantly following his movements like i was junmye0n’s during the concert anyway.
[baek]
he didn’t SEEM as tired as j0ngin thanks to that Other Project. his diet of CDs didn’t change, and he was still the goofball during ments / soft toy fun times. also, man, the amount of screams he got. and MAN, THE UN VILLAGE ROLLING HILLS PART..................... *GURGLES*
perhaps i’m not a baek stan, so i didn’t realise, but my friend commented that while he was not in as bad a state as j0ngin, he COULD’VE been more hyper.
I HOPE BAEK AND J0NGIN ARE RESTING WELL. Slave Management Entertainment PLEASE HAVE A HEART.
[yeol]
okay DUDES this guy was the guy who warned the middle standing pen fans to stop f*cking pushing because they don’t want to get anyone hurt. “ok everyone in the back row (of the standing pen) please raise your hands. can those who raise your hands take one step back please” ... “ok yall raising your hands but you’re not moving back” ... (him/suh0) “we have to be very wary because if you get hurt then we can’t come back”  the entire stadium collectively went “oOOOHHHH” (not in a good way)... BUT THEY STILL DIDN’T MOVE BACK. (him/suh0) “okay you don’t want to move back? then we’ll retreat to the stage behind then” *walks from from the smaller stage closer to exols back to the larger stage all the way at the front*
he was legit not happy. and goodness gracious did he have the right to be. didn’t this nonsense happen with exo-sc kfans before? and at that time 5ehun was the one who got angry.
anyway not only did they leave to continue performing the second set of songs on a bad note FURTHER AWAY, i HIGHLY SUSPECT that the other punishment was to take away one performance. WHICH WAS MY MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ONE - SIGN. YEAH. THEY DIDN’T PERFORM IT. SHOOT ME NOW. THAT WAS THE B-SIDE I WAS IMMEDIATELY WHIPPED FOR ONCE THE TEMPO ALBUM DROPPED. f*ck.
OKAY ALL THAT ANGST ASIDE, he’s still the main goofball of the concert. HE TRIED TO TEACH US HOW TO DAB INTO THE INSIDE OF OUR ELBOWS. HE GROPED CHEN ON STAGE. HE... he does his job of an entertainer well. OMG. HE TOOK SOMEONE’S PHONE AND TOOK PICS/VIDS OF HIM AND SEHUN????? when i finally noticed it happening i thought he literally took his own phone out during performance/fan-interaction-time to take a selfie but then i find out after the concert that NO, IT’S NOT HIS PHONE. ... that phone case must be enshrined immediately.
also he had to take over some lines for some songs, and BOI DELIVERED. he sounded really nice singing :”)
[dae]
not only did he eat CDs while looking super cute in that blue suit, he BELTED OUT LIVE HIGH NOTES AND ADLIBS AND WHATEVER YOU CALL THEM. I’VE NEVER HEARD EXO LIVE, SO, OH MY GOD. it’s like you’re either screeching or silent because they’re performing but there were parts of dae’s performance where had to stop everything, put down my binoculars and eribong, stare into the air for a second, and literally say “wow” out loud. it was surreal. it was crazy. it got to the point where he covered one of xiu’s lines (i forgot which song), and i thought “oh wow, he sounds better singing this line than xiu” and i IMMEDIATELY felt guilty (I ONLY THOUGHT THIS FOR *ONE* OF XIU’S LINES, DON’T KILL ME)
he was quiet during the ment until his turn. when he was engaged he... engaged. haha about the members’ comments that his solo perf was a “different kind of sexy” from j0ngin, where he had only one drop of sweat. HAHA. *does lunges on stage* *gets molested by yeol*
dae’s actually really low-key. he’s like... a “good” boi. will respond well and politely but only when spoken to. what else do i say. sunshine angel. his smile is cute. CAT SMILE :3
[overall]
speaking of cats... baek asked us at the beginning of the concert: why’s the dress code white?
here’s a crappy pic from my android phone one minute before the lights were dimmed:
Tumblr media
us: POWER!!! POWER!!!
exo: oh?? baek: does it represent the light power??
us: (loud murmurs of disagreement)
exo/baek: so you’re saying that’s not it... (discusses with members in korean) is it... the white marble???
us: (louder murmurs of disagreement)
exo/baek: hm i guess we can continue guessing till the concert is over haha
im not sure if anyone in the front rows, perhaps a korean fansite, screamed “cat” in korean, but after some discussion again,
exo/baek: (korean) some exols: *SCREAMS* translator: is it cat? exol: *SCREAMS AND WAVES ERIBONGS*
and this was the only legit interaction i feel we got with exo this concert... after having a taste of it at the start, i was subsequently kinda bummed we didn’t get to do this back-and-forth talking with exo (even at a shallow level) likely because of a language barrier. it felt so cool.
also, eribong v.3 was SUPER PRETTY WITH COLOURS. IT WAS MAGICAL, I SAY, MAGICAL.
Tumblr media
the entire spectrum could be shown on this eribong. this pic more or less covers the softer range of colours this eribong is capable of. it can also show the harsh red, blue, green, yellow, and of course, white.
a 1-pixel screenshot of my Telegram video to my friend in the standing pen:
Tumblr media
the boys were great, the performance was overall astounding, the lights and effects were stunning and pretty, and the time we spent together was too! short! exo also mentioned it’s a shame they could only come this one day for a concert, next time they’ll do two, no, THREE days... for their next album
exols: ganrklflm;fsklflkgsrkg
... WITH “THE REST OF THE MEMBERS”
exols: NAGJSK;NLDFNLGRS *EXPLODES*
tl;dr i love EXO with my entire heart. i count myself lucky for being alive at the same time exo is active and performing live.

TIME TO GUSH ABOUT TLJ cause I was looking through screenshots and here’s a bunch of things I might not have mentioned before and a few that I have
1) Paige Tico!!!! PAIGE TICO! her entire time in the spotlight is such a perfectly crafted, perfectly tense scene
Tumblr media
2) UM THE OPENING SPACE BATTLE IS SICK the bombers have such striking silhouettes and this is used for some amazing shots
Tumblr media
3) PAIGE’S DEATH BEING PRESENTED AS TRAGEDY (and not being softened heavily with the promise of being part of something meaningful the way R1′s deaths are) 
4) Captain Candy Crush’s death is given gravity too and I stan this, he’s not made sympathetic and still there’s nothing triumphant about people being blown up. war is not good
5) Finn’s pod is very flattering and angelic even though his water suit is silly. he basically has a halo and no filmmaker would accidentally give a character a halo so jot that down
Tumblr media
6) Snoke’s throne room being utilitarian AND extravagant at the same time is impressive. also I still love the way that Snoke’s real form was made to be this exaggeratedly WASPy old man with the skin texture and wrinkles and pale tufty eyebrow hair, and you know what else? the fact that the camera favors showing the undamaged side of his face. I fucking stan the fact that Johnson took another disfigured villain and played up his old caucasian grandpa looks and made his disfigurement blend into his age. Snoke is a caricature of horrid old white men, possibly the first successful caricature of whiteness in speculative fiction. he looks like Henry Kissinger
Tumblr media
7) Kylo Ren’s bandaid has a pattern on it. we ask ourselves. why. did he get to pick out the pattern. are there multiple patterns. are they all edgy and black. I’m now completely invested in whoever decided that they would have patterned bandaids but not make them TOO fun
8) the movie is so pretty im just. the fuckign. aesthetic. all of it. the palette seems to have been taken from a thunderstorm and it’s perfect. the use of gray is a reason I happen to think people didn’t like the film. they were like what the fuck is all this gray in star wars. star wars shouldn’t be gray. but it’s so unique, it’s not the gray of lazy color grading, it’s the gray of someone who knew that the feeling of haze and uncertainty needed some gray and rolled it in like a fog. I’m going to have to post more screenshots
9) I like the fact that the puppet porgs, as opposed to the CGI porgs, are actually kinda ugly cute
10) everything mark hamill does is perfect. every line, every facial expression, every pose. every moment from luke in tlj is unbelievably iconic. alec guinness would be so jealous 
11) Luke perking up and genuinely smiling when he sees R2D2 is the purest moment I have to just 
Tumblr media
my eyes are moist
12) the architecture and set design is so amazing too? I love this shot introducing Rose, the harsh contrast that draws your eye away from her, the way she’s fading into her corner of brownish-gray, it’s so good for evoking... idk, just how the world seems too bright and too stark and made of shapes, after someone you love dies
Tumblr media
13) I really love how much time we spend on Ahch-To, and how none of it has any campy space action. you’d expect to see some training there, but a lot of people were clearly hoping that Luke and Rey would leave the planet. but we linger so much on the setting, a setting which wholly embodies Luke’s state of mind
14) old luke is a handsome gent. i don’t see enough people with the hots for old luke. this is a big mistake
Tumblr media
15) this shot foreshadows Kylo Ren becoming the Supreme Leader IMO. we see him surveying the war machine, watching the instruments of death be constructed, set apart from everyone -- a glimpse into Kylo’s desire for absolute power without anything being direct. maybe he’s contemplating his isolated existence, how much he doesn’t belong in the Order. or maybe he sees an allure to all this. this is what he wants to possess. it’s probably a mixture of both
Tumblr media
16) Rey and Luke!!!!!!! everything about how the film frames them develops their relationship!! even as Luke is testy with her, we get shots like these where they’re sharing a warm sunset light and having deep heart to hearts. 
and you know what you know what what what
the fact that Rey starts asking WHO her parents are after meeting Luke is uhh clearly suggesting that she’s wondering if maybe Luke is her dad. I love in this one shot how he’s slumped and she’s sitting up straighter, making him the vulnerable one. I love how the sunset light highlights Rey’s buns. I love that she keeps her buns for a while. I love that people have headcanoned she kept the buns so that her parents would recognize her, and she has the buns in the whole time she’s trying to get Luke to act like the hero she believes in. like she’s trying to get him to recognize her
Rey adopts Luke as her dad and it’s beautiful get out of my face
Tumblr media
17) ye there’s a lot of dead children but also I hadn’t really thought about the fact that R2 watched this as well? and R2 was powered off for so long, until the end of TFA? R2 was traumatized and grieving too, and he’s seen this before, he remembers all the way back to when it was Anakin
Tumblr media
18) hors!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
19) what the SHIT is this why is this movie a fucking painting why does it keep outdoing itself in paintingness argh the way this film uses the day-night cycle is unbelievable, having Rey and Finn’s stories be connected by having the same time
THE HCKING MOON THOUGH 
Tumblr media
20) Ok we could talk about how the cold blue moonlight of uncertainty has become the warm orange light of companionship but we can’t forget what firelight also represents re: Kylo cough burning temple nice little double meaning, is Rey making a new friend or is she being tempted, is he going to warm her or burn her
but also I haven’t thought about how fucking awkward Kylo looks!! is he sitting on that barrel?? like since he’s not there is he just sort of compositing himself into the scene? using a convenient barrel
Tumblr media
21) see what I mean about blue being cold. blue = asceticism, red = indulgence, the two extremes 
Tumblr media
22) Luke sinks into darkness
Tumblr media
23) BUT HE DOES ONE THING! the thing that breaks him out of his depression. he takes the fire -- which represents the burned temple, represents Ben Solo, represents the humanity of the Dark Side -- into his own hands. we see the fire symbolizing destruction, then intimacy, then change, in such short succession
fire represents light-dark, something that is both at once. we’ll get back to this
Tumblr media
24) you could say that balance is about making your own light in the darkness
also this is why Poe’s line about being the spark that will burn the First Order down isn’t ~too violent~ cause fire has become a symbol of change, of destruction reclaimed as something restorative, thank you very much 
Tumblr media
25) can we talk about the fact that between this being like a coffin and the way Rey is holding the saber, this actually has the heaviest resemblance to the way medieval knights were depicted atop their sarcophagi. I don’t even know what it means but maybe it hints that Rey sees herself as a martyr and a crusader in this quest to redeem Kylo and prove her valor
Tumblr media Tumblr media
26) the fact that Poe isn’t the only one who gets in on the coup. because the Resistance isn’t a real military it’s a few thousand antifas gathered from all around the galaxy and their numbers are dwindling fast. people kind of put it all on Poe but Connix and Finn and Rose and this woman and this man and this alien were part of it too, and they could have told Poe to cut it out. I like how the blonde woman seems like she’s not sure what’s going on, she’s evaluating the situation 
Tumblr media
27) you know what I stan? I continue to stan aspects of how Snoke is portrayed. I stan the fact that he gets all close up in Rey’s face and grabs her cheek and it kind of mirrors the way Kylo gets in her personal space in TFA but even less so than in TFA, Rey is not framed in the way girls often are when they’re restrained and in distress. when she’s being tortured, we’re not given any tantalizing views of her body. Snoke floating her around the room has her stiff and awkward, and the close-up of her screaming in pain puts the camera behind her head so we see this from her POV, we’re not voyeuristically staring at her, we’re experiencing this indignity with her
28) Kylo Ren killing Snoke has the exact same light on his face as when he killed Han Solo. this is very very interesting
here I am in my corner of Kylo having twisted affection for Snoke as well
Tumblr media
29) I wish I could ship this more cause I don’t need all this talk of fairy tale weddings and force pregnancies when here they are slicing up lobster boys with laser swords
Tumblr media
30) oh but this is where he makes Rey look sad and thats where!!! you know hes gonna have to pay!!! basically everything about the scene where Kylo tears Rey’s heart out and stomps on it and then asks her to be grateful is extremely well done and it did its intended job of making me Big Mad At Kylo 
also look the fire is back its Symbolic
Tumblr media
31) you know what I can’t show in this post? the FUCKING SOUND THAT COMES AFTER THE HYPERSPEED RAM. that sound is the most glorious sound I’ve heard come out of a movie. it’s like a massive metal whale’s death scream. Star Wars has always run on sound design but literally that sound (along with the scene it’s attached to) outdoes everything that has come before it holy wow
Tumblr media
32) Finn WHACKING Phasma. he didn’t use a lightsaber in this film, but he uses the baton he picked up the same way he used the lightsaber, and it even glows blue for good measure. and we can’t forget that this movie shows a boy holding a broom like a lightsaber, and Rey practicing saberplay with her staff, so -- objects that are not lightsabers symbolizing lightsabers is a thing 
Tumblr media
33) I didn’t think about the fact that the Supreme Leader’s throne room is designed to display a view of the outside, or be cloaked in red. possibly it could display anything it pleases. this is great fun for imagining First Order characters making it display things they want to see, like beautiful vistas, or holofilms. possibly it can recreate whole scenes, like a Star Trek holodeck
Tumblr media
34) I don’t have to talk about how Leia is framed by the dawn on Crait do I? we already got the picture when it comes to the day-night cycle and how beautiful it is
35) BABY 8 I can’t believe this droid gets belly scritches and nuzzles from Poe
Tumblr media
36) fucking love when Kylo finally snaps and starts throwing petty tantrums again at the end of the film like he holds back his brattiness for 12 hours and then here comes the screaming and foot stamping and flailing
I have thrown too many temper tantrums in my life to not want to see one on the big screen in its full glory. no one has pushed him to the point where he’s just ugly crying on the floor, spewing snot and tearing at his hair
I got vicarious pleasure out of Poe’s outburst on the bridge too. people being angry and not being in the right. it’s something I need for catharsis
Tumblr media
37) miniaturized Death Star technology aka BIGGEST LIGHTSABER. Kylo stop compensating
but AU where a ginormous person uses the cannon as an actual saber
Tumblr media
38) I’VE TALKED ABOUT HOW FINN’S MOMENT IS IN MY TOP TWO FEELS MOMENTS (top one is the hyperslice) but basically if you don’t think he was affected by seeing the slave kids on Canto Bight, what do you think he’s so angry about here, what do you think has him in a blinding rage?
why do movies have to spell everything out for people in exhaustive detail? the only new thing Finn gets from his experience with Rose, is seeing how the First Order isn’t this isolated enclave of evil. the most powerful people in the galaxy have been supporting it all along. he stops trying to run away because he realizes there is nowhere he can run that won’t have injustice. and he’s seen villagers being massacred, he’s seen the Order attack people he cares about, he’s been personally threatened and had one-on-one duels, but on his trip with Rose he sees children being beaten into submission with electric whips
can’t believe people think Finn wasn’t affected by that when it’s the one thing motivating his character growth
every time he sees civilians getting hurt -- children and families -- he sees himself and the family he’ll never know in them, and is so overwhelmed that he does something brash and radical and self-endangering every time, and his arc is about learning to live with that anger. he runs away from feeling and his angst is so beautiful
and I’m still in the camp of Finn having had a Zuko-like arc when he was a teenager because that boiling frustration at not being able to express his natural empathy is what drove Zuko to angst so hard
FINN IS THE SOLIDARITY KING! HE CARES SO FUCKING MUCH 
Tumblr media
39) fire. Luke facing his demons involves him walking through a gate of flame, out of the darkness, into the light
Tumblr media
I will say that this is also very Buddhist imagery -- the flaming sword symbolizes wisdom, which cuts through the veil of illusion, specifically the illusion of duality
Tumblr media
“Mañjuśrī is depicted as a male bodhisattva wielding a flaming sword in his right hand, representing the realization of transcendent wisdom which cuts down ignorance and duality”
and of course fire being the bridge between light and dark has come up before in the film. the veil is visibly burning here, Luke having fully reclaimed the image of fire, which was earlier in the film held by Kylo Ren 
Tumblr media
I mean. just. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
40) something about this shot is extra special. everything that’s going on on the salt flats is like on this higher dimension, this spiritual plane 
Tumblr media
41) for a moment it looks like Luke and the First Order are standing against Kylo. gives you a glimpse into Kylo’s state of mind. is the Order his weapon, or his enemy? it’s both, and he’s absolutely terrified of it
also I’ve talked about how Palpatine’s Contingency plan is about getting revenge on his Empire because he hates its power as much as he revels in it, and he dedicates a good deal of time plotting ways to kill it, because he needs to prove that he is more powerful than it
being the Emperor or Supreme Leader carries with it the distinct horror of knowing that you can never be more powerful than the thing that has empowered you
Tumblr media
42) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
43) Luke achieving 100% maximum Buddhist allegory
Tumblr media Tumblr media
44) the slope of the floor is the slope of the opening crawl of a Star Wars film 
all right that’s all folks
Tumblr media

Golden Kamuy is the Best Harem Anime in Years!
We’ve talked in the past about what type of genre Golden Kamuy falls into, how it uses historical information to fill in its realistic setting and presenting authentic food culture and recipes, and even how authentic it is at representing judo. Now that the second season has left us with a whole bunch of unanswered questions and plenty of time to think about them. While we wait for news of season three, it’s time to address the elephant in the room: Golden Kamuy isn’t receiving the love it deserves for being the best harem anime in years! It might be easy to miss when you get too caught up in all this talk about Ainu gold and cooking and people shooting at each other, but if you weren’t paying attention, don’t you worry. We’ll tell you all about how Lt. Tsurumi is the harem protagonist to end all harem protagonists, and his gaggle of adoring followers!
Your first question is probably: “Wow, how did I not see it before?” And we forgive you for not realizing how amazing and handsome Lt. Tsurumi is. From his charming demeanor to his dashing looks (complimented by his headplate!), Lt. Tsurumi is a total package. It’s difficult at first to understand the devotion of the 7th Division if you don’t realize that they’re all in love with the man in charge, and Tsurumi dotes on his followers with equal measures of love and discipline. A harem anime protagonist is usually weak-willed and unwilling to admit their joy at being the center of so many cute boys' and girls' attentions, taking ages to make a decision about which of their suitors to settle down with, if they ever make a choice at all! But Lt. Tsurumi surpasses them all with his decisive and strong-willed ability to make choices, making the 7th Division a welcoming and warm home for everyone willing to follow him and achieve his dream of seeing Hokkaido (and eventually Japan) united under his control as a military force to be reckoned with.
When we first meet Lt. Tsurumi, we only see him from the perspective of Sugimoto, a man who is unfamiliar with who Tsurumi really is. He comes across as a cold and calculating killer, a ruthless person willing to do anything and everything to achieve his goal. As the series goes on, we find that Lt. Tsurumi is indeed ruthless, but much of that comes from his love for his followers and his willingness to do what he can to help give them purpose and success in life. As the war that gave them purpose and united all of them is over, Tsurumi feels it is his duty to ensure that all of his men continue to feel useful, needed, and most of all respected by a government that seems all too willing to ignore them now that they're not immediately needed. Tsurumi’s band of soldiers might seem odd or quirky at first, but that’s simply because Tsurumi has allowed them to blossom and show their amazing, unique personalities aside from just being faceless soldiers in uniform! After the death of General Hanazawa, the 7th Division were treated as outcasts and forgotten by the Japanese government, given no recognition or medals for their service; Tsurumi, seeing the unjust nature of such actions, made sure that the 7th Division would rise to greatness, welcoming any who would serve to his side.
But to be the head of a harem anime, you obviously need a harem of eccentric, archetypical characters who are all fighting each other for the affection and attention of the main character. Golden Kamuy is no slouch in this department, as the soldiers of the 7th really fill out all the roles you’d expect! Each member is unique, and even competitive, in their interest in the man at the center of the action. Not only that, but some characters end up in Lt. Tsurumi’s orbit by coincidence, finding him simply irresistible (as you should), joining in on the fun themselves. First on the list is Tsukishima Hajime, who makes his appearance in season 2. Tsukishima is the “straight man” character of Golden Kamuy’s weirdness, to the point that he fulfills that role both in his harem role and outside of it. Tsukishima is the most “normal” of the 7th Division, simply carrying out the orders given to him by Tsurumi and ensuring that others do as well. Tsukishima might be the oddest of the whole bunch, simply because none of the weirdness going on around him seems to phase him; if Tsurumi wants it, Tsukishima will make sure he gets it, even if it involves skinning people, working with a man who makes clothes out of corpses, or simply just dealing with the rest of the 7th’s weirdos!
At the opposite spectrum of Tsukishima is Nikaidou Kouhei. The Kouhei twins started Golden Kamuy as eccentric soldiers, but following the death of his twin and his betrayal of Tsurumi, Nikaidou has spent much of season 2 obsessed with killing Sugimoto, and becoming less and less in touch with reality. A violent and dangerous man with nothing to lose, he’s the most rambunctious of Tsurumi’s followers, as he barely seems interested in anything but killing Sugimoto at all costs, and acts more like a crazed hunting dog than he does a human being. In some regards, he may not even care much about Tsurumi at all, but Tsurumi seems to be the only person who can (somewhat) control him, and he even brings him gifts, like his fancy new leg! Although Nikaidou’s fate is up in the air at the end of season 2, he’s certainly the “wild one” when it comes to the harem for sure.
Somewhere in the middle of the pack is Koito Otonoshin from Satsuma. Koito is the easily-flustered type, as any time he’s in Tsurumi’s presence, he finds himself unable to stop speaking in Satsuma dialect, and at such a speed that it's hard for anyone except the ever-tolerant Tsukishima to keep up with. Koito also finds himself regularly indisposed at the idea of failing his beloved Tsurumi, fainting in odd and uncomfortable-looking poses at the mere thought of disappointing him. No matter how many times Tsurumi tells Koito that he can’t understand him, the hyperactive man simply speaks faster! Koito is certainly the overly-proper and easily-flustered harem member, the one who can barely exist in the same room as their target of affection, and easily wilting at any direct contact or even attention from them, and the dismay felt at possibly disappointing their beau driving them to extreme measures; after all, not many people would leap onto a propeller plane and swordfight to the death on its frame simply because they didn’t want to disappoint someone!
Koito isn’t the only one that’s hopelessly devoted with Tsurumi, though, because season 2 latecomer Usami really takes the cake for being almost obsessed with pleasing Tsurumi, nearly costing him his life in the process! Although not much is known about Usami (not even his full name!), he nearly dies horrifically in Abashiri prison to simply remark that he’s upset because Tsurumi will be mad at him. Usami even takes his punishment in pride, as Tsurumi initially draws two running man figures onto Usami’s distinctive birthmarks… which, as the Golden Kamuy extra Douga episodes show, became permanent tattoos at Usami’s request! Usami seems the type of harem character who would do anything for their beloved, even sacrificing their own life, and the unusual-looking man certainly makes an impression in his few appearances. Quite a few of the other 7th Division members that meet unfortunate ends or appear singularly seem to share similar zeal for Tsurumi’s attention and approval, but Usami really takes the cake in some regards.
Of course, not every person in a harem has to be seemingly lost in love; in fact, some members might even look for some distance, either because they become disillusioned, or simply because they realize they need to better themselves before they can worry about pursuing love. Ogata Hyakunosuke is certainly the former, revealing himself to be a snake, simply going with whatever will get him the result he desires personally, and abandoning Tsurumi when he’s no longer convenient. Ogata is pretty selfish, so it isn’t surprising that he’d fall out of the harem, but even he found himself once attracted to Tsurumi’s sphere of influence for his help in taking care of Ogata’s “family business,” let’s say! On the other end of the spectrum, Tanigaki Genjirou found himself engaging in a journey of self-discovery away from the 7th, trying to right the wrongs of his past and the ghosts of his Matagi upbringing through his interactions with Huci and the Ainu. Tsurumi welcomes Tanigaki back happily at the end of season 2, unlike Ogata, meaning that Tsurumi seems to be quite willing to accept that sometimes, you just have to let things go before you know what they mean to you!
Not every member of the harem is a 7th Division member... or totally sane. Rounding out the cast, and taking the yandere spot quite easily, is the misunderstood fashionista Edogai Yasaku. Although his fake skins will live on with Tsurumi, the poor taxidermist met his end while trying to bring his beloved Tsurumi his hard work. Edogai devotes himself entirely to Tsurumi, even going so far as to create a replica of him to help ease the pain of being separated! Edogai certainly was an odd character, but it’s easy to see his love for Tsurumi drove him to come out of his own shell and find some purpose in helping Tsurumi on his quest. Of all of the members in his harem, Tsurumi seemed most interested in Edogai’s unique personality and skills, perhaps seeing something of a kindred spirit in him, bonding over their use of tanning techniques; many of the other members of the harem, save perhaps Tsukishima, would certainly have been jealous of the close bonds that Edogai and Tsurumi seemed to share!
    And there you have it: Tsurumi and his harem, proving that not only is Tsurumi a great harem protagonist, but that he has the harem roster depth to go toe-to-toe with most other harem show staples! Although we’ll have to wait to see how the Tsurumi harem will grow or change in the third season (Sugimoto and Tsurumi are now brain damage buddies after all!), suffice to say it’s an easy call about who the greatest harem anime protagonist of 2018 is: Lt. Tsurumi, we love you!
What’s your favorite thing about Lt. Tsurumi? Have a particular Tsurumi harem member you like the most? Let us know in the comments!

Sketching Splendor
Tumblr media
Summary: An artist struggling with his homework find inspiration from a safe distance, but is pushed closer.
Pairing: Artist au!Renjun x Reader
Just a small piece to keep you occupied with Artist Renjun ^^
“OH MY GOD Y/N OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!”
“Hey, keep your voice down. I get were in the hallways and its loud, but that doesn’t mean that you can be louder. I’m right next to you. Are you trying to bust my eardrum?”
I look at my friend Chaeyeon. I stop at my locker, place my backpack inside, take out sheet music. She holds on to my shoulder and begins to shake me.
“Oh my god! I can believe Jaemin asked me to be his girlfriend. He’s so dreamy and so handsome...”
“You said that already. You’ve been raving over him since Mark introduced him to us.”
“I remember the day as if it were yesterday. It was like love-at-first-sight.”
“Oh my god,” I face-palmed and shut my locker. “Don’t make me relive what happened after that. It was torture.”
“What? Ha ha. I bet you would be really happy if someone cute asked you out...like that cute art boy Mark hangs out with.”
“Renjun? I don’t expect it to happen anytime soon.”
She opens her locker and I turn to lean my back against my locker. I begin to observe the other students while Chaeyeon exchanges her things quickly. Jaemin and his a few of his friends, known as the Dreamies, are walking toward the other end of the hallway. Among them was Renjun, the boy I secretly developed a crush on. However, I never got the chance to talk to him properly. The only class I shared with his was Music, but alone I managed to find that we both shared the same interests. I hadn’t even told my best friend about it. However, she kept nagging me about me possibly liking him and vice versa. Before passing, Jaemin turns to in out direction and send Chaeyeon his signature smile. He motions her to join him. “You never know Y/N.” She closes her locker and turns to me.“Well, I gotta go. Boba date later?”
“Sure.”
She leaves and I head towards my last class. Music. Specifically singing.
“We’re rehearsing in the auditorium because our spring concert will take place here. Most of you got solo pieces. For those of you that got the duets, I will now call out the pairings.”
The teacher called out a few sets of names and I just phase out until my name is called.
“Y/N and Haechan. Those are all the pairs. We will still have time to practice with your partners. Each pair will sing together. I will determine how much practice is required, to give tips etc… This is just a trial run. We’ll do vocal warm-up and first up will be Y/N and Haechan.”
I shuffle awkwardly behind Haechan to the stage. I can feel everyone’s gaze on me. I love singing, but never really enthusiastic about performing. Stage fright. I look down and take a few deep breaths. I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see Haechan.
“Just relax Y/N. It's still rehearsal. We can practice it as many times as you want after until you feel comfortable. You’ll do great. Hwaiting!”
He give me a small smile and I nod my head at him. The music begins and Haechan starts singing. I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and start to sing along with the music. Soon enough, we sing with ease together. It made me even more nervous with Renjun watching me closely and making eye contact repeatedly. The music ended and everyone was on their feet clapping loudly, some cheering.
“Wow that was great!” “Amazing!” “It’s as if they’ve practiced together before.”
“Perfection. Truly the work of two great singers. Very professional. One of the best I’ve ever seen. Very well done. Just practice it more to be comfortable with the piece. You may sit.”
The teacher continued with the next pair until class ended. After the bell rang, Haechan exchanged numbers with me to set up practice dates. Chaeyeon was waiting for me at the lockers. I gathered my things and we left to the cute bakery a few streets down.
“Hey Renjun. Look what I got. Y/N’s number.”
“Yah, Haechan. Don’t make him feel bad. Hey Renjun you wanna go to the new bakery that just opened a few weeks ago? Everyone else has homework.”
“Sure. I could use some unwinding. But we all have to make plans with the others to go to the skate park Friday.”
“Ok, we’ll text them later. Oh, I have to get something real quick from my locker. I forgot. I’ll be right back Renjun, then we’ll had to the bakery.”
“Ok, I’ll wait for you.”
“So Haechan is your singing partner? That good. He has a really nice voice. You must have been nervous with the other students staring.”
“Kinda. Actually, something did seem slightly off. You know Renjun? Mark’s friend? Part of the Dreamies?” Chaeyeon shook her head yes. “He usually had his undivided attention in class. Today he was looking at his notebook almost all day.”
She pulls out her phone and starts browsing it. “Huh… that's weird. Maybe he was doing homework.”
“What he was doing didn't seem like writing to me.”
She looks up after typing something on her phone. “Oh… maybe he was drawing? He has that new art class with Jaemin. Maybe that's is.”
We open the door to the bakery and sit at the nearest booth. “Maybe. He only watched me and Haechan performance attentively, but not the others. Every time I glanced at him he was only looking at his notebook. Do you think…”
“Chaeyeon? Baby what are you doing here? Ha ha...what a coincidence.” I looked up to see Jaemin standing in front of our table. He was clearly acting surprised and Chaeyeon began to play along.
“Yeah that is strange huh? Totally didn't expect you’d be here... Do you want to join us? Let’s go order babe. You two stay here.” The two rushed off, leaving Renjun and I in an awkward silence.
“Do you...want to sit?”
“What? Oh right.”
He slides into the seat in front of me slowly. A few seconds went by before I decided to speak.
“You...sang really nice in music class.”
“Really?...You think so?...I was a nervous wreck. My voice didn’t seem to want to work properly.” He looks down in embarrassment.
“No, you sounded great. Honestly. I think you have one of the best voices Renjun.”
He looks up in shock and slightly blushed. “Thank Y/N. It means a lot coming from you.”
“Your welcome.” I give him a reassuring smile and I can feel my cheeks starting to heat up. I look to see why Chaeyeon and Jaemin were taking so long but they were nowhere in sight. I turn back to Renjun, who seems to be fidgeting with his fingers before speaking up, still looking down.
“Ummm...Y/N...I have to draw someone...for an assignment...could you...perhaps...could you maybe...be my model?”
“Uhhhh...yeah sure” I respond nervously, still taking time to process what he just asked me. He looks up almost instantly with a cute smile on his face. He takes out his notebook and places it in front of him. He looks up at me in shock. I notice that he had already drawn enough to distinguish it was me he was drawing. He caught me by surprise after adding, “Sorry, I meant to ask you sooner...but I was too nervous. I hope you don’t think I was stalking you or something.”
“No no not at all. I totally get it. It’s ok really. I don’t mind. Sometimes that's the best way to capture true feeling and expression in nature.”
“That’s…very true. I’m glad you understand sorry again. Anyways for the portrait, you don’t have to pose or anything. I just want to capture your natural beauty.”
“Oh…..ummm…..ok.”
I look down at my hands blushing. My heart begins to pound rapidly. In that moment, a lady brought us boba and donuts. “Here are your drinks. You two look so cute together. Enjoy your date.” Before I got a chance to respond, she left. I look over at Renjun who is still focused on drawing. He pauses and looks up at me. He stutters.
“Y/N?...mmm...I think...you’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen...When I look at you...I feel like the world fades away...you’re really sweet and kind...I was wondering...if you could go out...on a date...with me?”
“Well, I think we’re already on a date. I mean Chaeyeon and Jaemin ditched us. The lady thinks we’re on a date.”
He looks up at me with a twinkle in his eye and a soft smile. He giggles a bit and begins to gain more confidence. “Well...in that case...can I take you out a second time?”
“Yes. I’d like that.”
“OH MY GOD IT WORKED!!!”
“YES JAEMIN MY SHIP IS SAILING!!! YES SHE SAID YES!!! OH MY GOD!!!”
Chaeyeon and Jaemin pop out from the booth behind me cheering. She plops down on the chair beside me and gives me a huge bear hug. “We have to go on double date now.”
“I'll think about it.”
Note: I hoped you liked it. I hope my writer’s block didn’t interfere with it, making it boring. Feedback is much appreciated ^^ Renjun seems like the one who fit this au! the best. Plus he’s and adorable child who deserves more love...I mean look at that cute baby don’t tell my biases they might think I’m cheating lol I must stay loyal but they be snatching from all direction

Episode 6- “No matter what I throw to the wall, it won’t erase whatever writing is currently there”-Nick
Tumblr media Tumblr media
SOMEHOW. .. I escaped rocks!  and the whole hufflepuff alliance did too!  I'm really sad about Jess going because I ADORE her but...  ugh. Part of me is very glad that Owen is still in the game because I feel like maybe I can salvage my relationship I had with him and we can sneakily work together without the rest of my alliance getting wind of it.  I just hope that hufflepuff doesn't have to worry about going to tribal again anytime until the merge.  That was... WOW. 
Tumblr media
I have crazy news all you cool cat and kittens! https://media.giphy.com/media/RGixkYkOKdWATSReHt/giphy.gif 
 Tribal happened and instead of it being between me and Max as I had anticipated the Hufflepuffs voted for Owen. That's... a twist!! Anyway, since they are a bunch of phonies who lie I stuck my vote against Max and everyone else stuck with theirs letting rocks decide
 https://media1.tenor.com/images/422ca011d526025e11c9eaf90a3edf59/tenor.gif?itemid=11361132 
.
 .
This is kinda funny since we were joking about letting fate decide the vote prior to the crazy round. Also, I think Jess scored the lowest on the immunity challenge so it's like we voted off our weak link even though she didn't even do that much worse and it's a terrible way to look at things since she was such a good ally. Anyway, hoping immunity is something that we can win so that we don't suffer another tribal council because I'm pretty confident that they won't take a swing at Owen again just yet.
Tumblr media
I LOVE how my business is getting spread from person to person LOL.  This is like the game of telephone that just keeps going.  I WAS MAD AT OWEN FOR TELLING PEOPLE I WAS IN AN ALLIANCE!  WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD HIM ABOUT IN THE FIRST PLACE.  somehow it has now gotten turned to me telling owen how i felt about max LOL.  Yes, I did tell Owen that i usually just talk to max in the OG Hufflepuff chat but NO THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WANT TO KEEP OUTING MY ALLIANCE TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD now chips is wanting tea and i gave him some but i'm trying to without admitting the hufflepuff alliance chat that everyone already knows about now anyway.  WHY IS MY DRAMA THE CENTER OF ATTENTION ON THIS TRIBE CAN'T  SOMEONE ELSE RUN THEIR MOUTH NOW SO PEOPLE CAN TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO SOMEONE NEW??? but okay I think Owen and I are good now but I still trust Lily above EVERYONE else in this game. 
Tumblr media
Hm... so Landen told me that he was planning on giving more information before the revote and the rock draw.. but unfortunately he wasn't there to share. I find out that Owen already communicated to him that Max and myself are the expendable bottom two of our tribe and that just kinda... syncs up with what I said earlier about Owen. Here I was thinking we had turned over a leaf. I'm going to give him another chance with me. And not judge him based on what somebody else said (and could have been lying about) that he said. But if the shoe fits. https://media1.tenor.com/images/a19f8b641e24d8c212ba0b3913af45ca/tenor.gif?itemid=11553933

THIS IS MY CONFESSIONAL FOR LAST ROUND DONT GIVE ME A STRIKE PLZZZZZ ok really quickly basically the last vote was on raffy bc he tried to get the vote on jacob or jules (not me thank goodness) and he blew up his own game, i have 3 alliances one with joanna nick and jacob and one with joanna dan and jules and then my core alliance with jules and jacob, raffy was kinda the outlier for my own game because i had an alliance with everyone else and then i clicked well with autumn so i wanted it to be raffy and it kinda just came up that way organically and he did himself no favors. I kinda pitched to autumn how after this we're the sole people from our og tribes and we should stick together because if we lose again i kinda wanna vote out dan bc he has an idol and an undisclosed advantage ON TOP OF THAT so he is really dangerous and he thinks jules trusts him but me and jules are each others number 1s (i hope at least) and they are telling me everything, in a perfect world me jules jacob and autumn vote dan if we lose to avoid nick slipping anything and joanna from having an emotional time with it since she struggled with just voting dan out, its a big move but i think it needs to happen, it's also the best cast for me personally bc i have the weakest individual connection to dan whereas with joanna and autumn i feel really strongly with and like i can work with them, nick is also there but he doesnt pose much of a threat and i think with jacob still being in the game he will trust me or jacob the most and we can use that as a number. Anyways we ended up winning this challenge anyways so it didnt matter but heres to hoping we win again bc while i would be ok with dan going if we can win immunity thats priority, so heres to hoping we can do that
3 minutes later
OK THIS IS MY CONFESSIONAL FOR THIS ROUND RIP JESS !!!!!!!!!! I AM SO SAD JESS IS GONE I LOVE HER WITH MY ENTIRE BEING SHE IS SO FUN AND SO GOOD AND I WANTED TO PLAY WITH HER BUT SURVIVOR GODS SAID NOPE I AM REALLY SAD. i am so sad. but the game moves on, with jess leaving nick really has no one besides me and jacob and maybe joanna? but she is more loyal to her og ravenclaws, so im hoping he sticks to my side, autumn and i are clicking well but shes just likable so shes clicking with everyone, i hope we can get closer in the game as well bc i wanna work with her, dan scares me alot, if we lose again i might try to blindside him with jules but idk, its all up in the air, challenge is music videos, im not particularly fond of this challenge or any judgement based challenge for that matter but i am rolling with it, it's usually fun i guess, but im awkward so eek, idk my tribe doesn't seem like the type to stand out in a music video but maybe they will all surprise me and turn it out, heres to hoping that happens! ok bye for now!

I’m probably being super sensitive rn but I really don’t like Joanna. Like at all. If it’s not her idea, she doesn’t want to do it. Like she’s so demanding and annoying and I feel like it’s probably just the game getting to her but I really don’t like it
Tumblr media
So after my last confessional, what happened was I went to Ruthie to double check whether the information I was getting was true and she did want to vote for Max. i made sure to cover my bases discussing this with Lily and also telling Ruthie I'm totally down to vote Max if she is, i want to make myself as trustworthy as possible to her and start working with her more down the line, it's key moments like these where establishing trust is VITAL! with her being pissed that owen spread the information and wanting to vote hufflepuff strong though, it was the perfect time for us to try to make a move on owen. I was really confident I could flip Juls and Chips on the revote, and the truth is if I hadn't NAPPED THROUGH TRIBAL.. LMAO... I most likely could have. But it all worked out in the end since we deadlocked and Jess went home in the rocks. I love Jess and was really excited to work with her, but it's very obvious I wasn't a priority to her, and her going home leaves 4 Hufflepuffs on this tribe, so I'm okay with the results. I did my best afterward and will continue to work hard on damage control with Owen, Juls, and Chips. I went from perhaps one of the upcoming boots to a higher up social center on this tribe and I'm hoping that goes mostly unnoticed? But who knows. That's why we gotta win this challenge! Speaking of, it's a music video challenge! Yay I'm so happy I got to do one of these sooner rather than later :D I've had a blast coordinating the challenge with Lily. We work really well together and I feel it extends to challenges, but also our casual conversation, and just the fact that we get along so well, she is pretty much my tightest person in the game right now and I think that we can do a lot of damage as a long term duo (especially with an alliance with Ruthie, Max as an additional number to that, and us being Positioned in the middle tier of the Huffs.) I'm well aware how likable Lily is though so I'll keep that in mind before I promise ride or die loyalty forever, but for right now I'm very happy working with her. I'm STILL not going to look for any spells, sorry bout it. but yyyeaah... Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the MarshmallowMoves I've been making and im looking forward to what happens next in this crazy game.
Tumblr media
Our music video is........ gonna lose lmao. It’s no shade at Joanna bc fuck editing. But it’s soooooooooooooo boring. I feel like the judges will watch like 30 seconds and fall asleep. It’s a cute song choice and everything, but it’s also....... so bland. The Harry Potter puppet pals would have been so good and I stand by it. 
Tumblr media
I'm literally SO HAPPY!!! Hufflepuff won a creative challenge that I did a lot of work directing on (HUGE props to Lily who I love and was amazing to work with on this), and some of my ideas got mentioned in the comments as good things!! I'm honestly just ecstatic about the way this whole challenge went down, it was so much fun. Juls did an amazing job editing, the filming everyone else did was fantastic, I'm just in love with this tribe and I'm so happy with the music video we did. Not only that, but I wasn't feeling too hot about tribal council. It's not that I thought I'd be going home, but I thought the vote would be very difficult. It most likely would have had to fall on Chips or Owen - if it had been Chips, that would be really tough and could even result in some spell plays being cast against us, with the vote being probably 4-3 since Juls/Chips are close. If it had been OWEN though, Juls and Chips maybe would've voted with us, but Ruthie probably would've not wanted to go for him now that they've had a chance to talk it out since she admitted to their old Final 2. Luckily Ruthie and I were able to now agree on an official alliance between us and Ruthie, so it looks like we've got a lot to do together and I'm excited to see what the future holds. I've been trying to damage control a bit with Chips and Owen, I'm not sure how well it's working. Owen is a very naturally social person and I feel that he is quite good at deceiving his true feelings and emotions, either that or he is very rational and calm about the game, not upset he VERY nearly got blindsided - either way, he's super dangerous and I can't just trust that we had a nice conversation one time, it'd be dumb of me. I'm feeling positive about where I stand with this tribe right now though, I don't think anyone would be able to get a strong majority to target me because I really don't think Juls, Max, Ruthie, or Lily would want to vote me out. At least I sure hope not! No, but, a lot of times with creative challenges in these games I struggle because I am pursuing creative passions in real life, so even though it's just a few judges, it can feel defeating when you get judged bad and harsh critique. I take those criticisms into account but it can still make you feel a little self conscious at times. Winning this challenge was a huge boost and just something that made me feel good, not to mention the fun times I had doing it with everyone on the team. Overall - a GOOD DAY! One could even say.. "A sunny day!" (one of my lines in the music video DUH) Hopefully Kev doesn't go out, curious to see where this game goes next. Adios~
Tumblr media
So thankful that we won! Although I feel like I need to deal with the madness that was the last tribal but if I’m being honest I’m just not ready. Last tribal was so beyond crazy but I know that’s part of the reason why I play. I didn’t play this game to play it safe. I’d rather mess my game up trying to make a move then sitting in the sand and letting others dictate what happens on a vote. Although in the end...rocks made the call. I really miss Jess and her company on the tribe. It sucks when someone leaves that you get along well with and I could see the potential of us working together in the future. Jess is a strong player and made it through so much already in this season. Seeing her go def has a huge impact on the rest of the game that’s for sure. I appreciate how Jess stuck to her guns too which I completely understand. With her going it shows me that I really need to prove myself and continue to be as bold as I can be without getting caught that is. I haven’t talked to Owen since we tried voting him out. He knows what happened. I know what happened. It’s awkward but I’m glad that we could all still have fun with the music video challenge. Landen and I did a lot of the planning and Juls did the editing. And everyone put in their input on ideas and sending in quality magic videos. I’m glad we turned out with something cute and fun. I wanted to suggest a tiger king song in Jess’s honor but wasn’t sure if the judges would appreciate it in the same way. Wondering what’s going to happen in this game. Ruthie and I have been working together in the castle to find an idol. So far no luck and I assume at this point in the game anything and everything would have been found by now. But who knows. We shouldn’t give up that’s for sure. Even though last tribal was incredibly difficult and hard and I’m not sure if I even handled it the best way I could, I’m still having fun playing this game and glad to be here. Hoping merge is around the corner even though I’m not ready for the craziness that comes with it. 
Tumblr media
Y’all this vote is stupid af haha. THE LADIES ARE FIGHTING! And by ladies I mean Autumn and Nick. They both want each other dead, and Joanna wants Jacob dead lmao. Me and Kevin are legit sitting here like 🥴
Tumblr media
last round.. mess. this round.. thank god we won LMAOOO. i honestly don’t know what all to say because i’m starting to question where everyone stands with me, BUT. i think i’ll be fine.. hopefully. unless people keep lying to me, that’s when i’m como se dice.. fucked <3 
Tumblr media
okay lemme scream in my dr real quick....jacob's ass DIDNT DO SHIT IN THE CHALLENGE BC HES IN 7 FUCKING ORGS BUT IF I VOTE HIM OUT AGAIN I HURT HIS FEELINGS??? he's also a loyal ally to me (at least, loyal enough) but he wants to keep NICK in who?? literally is gunning for me?? dude you put urself in this position not doing the challenge and it makes me so angry that i have to cover for him and cover his ass!! when he didnt do shit!! and i honestly think he's !!!! good enough to vote out at this point!!! especially bc mister dan thinks i know jacob IN REAL LIFE??? IM SICK IM SICK IM SICK IM SICK !!!!!!!! JACOB SHOULD'VE TRIED IN THE CHALLENGE!!! HE GOT HIMSELF INTO THIS MESS!!!
Tumblr media
Good news! I mean,  it's kind of good news. We had a music video challenge and we picked a fun song. We did Magic by Selena Gomez sung for The Wizards of Waverly Place movie! So that was a lot of fun... and I suggested to our tribe we have some sort of "story" and aren't just lip syncing because I have had too many lost lip syncs where we lost because of no story being evident. So we did a "getting into Hogwarts" and being Hufflepuffs and it was cute! And fun!! I'm pretty sure if we lost I would be the vote off since they think Owen has an idol so they would vote me out since Landen has a close relationship to Juls and so I'm the next most obvious choice. Anyway! Our story carried us to the win!!! I believe this might be the first time across all ORGs that I've won a lip sync comp. That might be a lie, but I have a pretty bad track record.
Tumblr media
ooooooh if this tribe don't make a damn DECISION! https://media.tenor.com/images/4ff794852927c7441b26618a705b340f/tenor.gif The vote has been me, Jules, Jacob, Nicholas, God, Trump- you name it. Particularly because Nicholas refuses to just sit down and eat his food. Like everyone was just gonna vote Jacob and then Nicholas had to start throwing names out, starting with me of course, so I've literally been whipping the vote all day. And just when I got a majority on Nicholas, now he's making a group chat with Joanna, Dan, and Kevin (aka all the white people lmao) to inform them that he's now ready to vote Jacob??? 
 https://giphy.com/gifs/bad-girls-club-bgc-rocky-8Cprh3gaXGGQw 
 Where was that energy at like 2:00? And why am I always saying that about Slytherin? They're nocturnal I swear to God and they don't give a fuck until the sun goes down because otherwise make it make sense. Why take us all through changes for 5 hours if you're actually down to vote your brother out? Like we have lives- make a decision and stick to it. And then all that back and forth is just showing your ass?? So now EVERYONE knows who you want out and just how indecisive you are. And tbh sending him out would do him a favor because how are you gonna come back from exposing your entire hand. I honestly want us to go back to tribal after this just so I get another shot at him before merge. Cause if he mobs up with Hufflepuff at merge it's a wrap for me. But! today we learned who's really with who and that shit is KEY: Jacob and Joanna got beef, Nick apparently has beef with me and Jules, Nick has Joanna and thinks he has Dan but doesn't, Kevin and I are solid, Dan and I are officially made a deal, and I think Jules thinks Ravenclaw is solid buuuut that ain't true lmao. But like it's fine Basically all's well that ends well, a Slytherin boy will go home and I have no clue which but I don't care at this point because enough is enough, and I'm going back to watching How to Get Away with Murder. So call me when y'all ready for me to vote https://66.media.tumblr.com/a6fc82d986adfcc112785f209fe163bd/tumblr_inline_ngmjfrxq071sggcf2.gif
Tumblr media
WITH GOD AS MY WITNESS JOANNA IS RIGHT!!!!! SHE'S RIGHT!!!!! 
Tumblr media
Long story short, I hate everyone here. Everyone is running around acting a fool about who to vote and frankly i don't even care who goes. my worry is that joanna knows about my steal a vote and I don't want her to fucking leak that shit around if I vote out nick, but at the same time I don't trust jacob because he's legit never online!! maybe i'll just tell joanna right before the vote that kevin told me he was voting nick so I flipped??? i'm so stressed. 
Tumblr media
okay. im fine now. ITS FINE!!!! I LOVE YOU JACOB !!!! IF UR READING THIS I LOVE U BITCH!!!! AINT NEVER GONNA STOP LOVIN U BITCH!!!!! EVEN WHEN U MAKE GAMES HARD!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
This round has been a whirlwind. I feel I’m losing the morals I entered the game with, because I’m possibly having to sacrifice my final slytherin teammate to stay in the game. I thought I had a grasp on this tribe, but I genuinely feel so lost. It’s exhausting, and I’ve been fighting back tears of exhaustion and defeat the entire day. I trust Joanna and Kevin with all my heart, but I secretly fear Joanna is just pocketing me as a number. Personally, I think we are great friends, but gameplay-wise, I do think she’s trying to gain me as a workable number. More power to her. I did not even suggest Autumn, I merely asked if that’s who is being considered since she’s one of the people, to my limited knowledge, that was outside the brewing majority alliance. I suppose it was leaked to her, meaning that I got blamed for a crime I did not commit. I tried fixing it with Autumn and Jules, but I’m unsure of my success. I believe Jacob will leave tonight, but I fear it’s my time. I’ve tried so hard, I just hate it. I applied to this game as a Ravenclaw, but I was placed on Slytherin. I’ve went to every tribal but one, but the one I did not go to resulted in one of my two allies leaving. Speaking of that, I’m thankful that Jess and I worked things out, genuinely. I just want to stay and fight, but I feel the spotlight is fading. No one is receptive, and no matter what I throw to the wall, it won’t erase whatever writing is currently there. ~ nick.
Tumblr media
THIS IS AN AUTUMN APPRECIATION POST. I REPEAT. THIS IS AN AUTUMN APPRECIATION POST. PLS KNOW I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! POINT BLANK PERIOD!!!
Tumblr media
Me almost forgetting to make one of these! I LOVE that we won another challenge and I really feel like something is about to happen to shake up the game, maybe a swap and one person is isolated for a bit or... merge? Okay sending this in before it’s late and I get a strike hehe.

So you and Derek, no matter how much you would have liked to, couldn’t just say you were dating now and live happily ever after.
No, you had to talk about things like what all does “dating” mean for the two of you. Like what counts as cheating, does this mean Derek would be moving back in, and the most important.
What are you doing for your first date?
First you thought a simple dinner and movie, but Derek said it was too cliche for his taste. He suggest a date in the park, maybe a little picnic, but you were more of an indoors-y type.
“How about a cooking date?” you had said.
Derek’s whole face lit up at the idea and he immediately agreed, it only made since to have it here.
Your house had been considered home to him for years, plus here it was just you two. No waitress at a restaurant, or random park visitors, just you two in your natural habitat.
So today was the day of the date and you were currently making a mess of your room trying to decide what to wear.
Should you dress down as in sweats, which Derek basically always sees you in, or casual jeans (another thing you often wore around Derek) or maybe a little more effort and go for a cute little dress?
You had never worn a dress around Derek before, other than like Easter when you were kids and his mom made you for the sake of photos. Even then you changed back into jeans after pictures were taken.
On one hand this date was all about comfort, sweats are the ultimate comfort, but its also very lazy and sloppy looking. Jeans show some effort but not enough for a date, then a dress is a special thing. But what if it’s too much effort?
Finally you decide to put on your big girl pants and just throw on the dress, if it was too much you could just change. 
You pick the most simple dress you own, its light pink with a red rose pattern and you put on some white flats. You looked in the mirror and you are absolutely sure this was the best choice, it showed effort but not too much.
Now it was time to debate rather or not you’re gonna wear make up or not. You never wear the stuff, what with how busy you always are.The only make up you actually owned was a basic tube of red lipstick and some matching eye shadow.
You look back up at the mirror and decide that you looked great without make-up, so you declare yourself ready.
You hear Derek knock on the door and you head downstairs to let him in.
You opened the door and reveal Derek with arms full of plastic grocery bags and even holding one in his mouth.
‘Ish gaah ge schaah.’ (I got the stuff) he said as he walked in and headed to the kitchen.
‘Making two trips won’t kill you Derek.’ you said as you followed.
Derek put all the bags on the table and stood up straight.
‘Two trips is for the weak.’ he said as he turned to face you.
He finally looked at you and took in what you had on, and you also took in his white button up, black jeans and boots.
‘Wow, you uh you look great (Y/N).’ Derek said as he gave you a hug.
‘Thanks, so do you.’ you said as you hugged him back.
You pulled back and smiled, it had been SO long since you had been in a relationship it felt so nice to just say you were dating again.
‘So did you get everything we need?’ you asked.
‘Yeah I think so.’ Derek said as he turned towards all the bags.
For this date you two were going to be cooking and eating dinner, spaghetti, home made cheesy bread, a ceaser salad and your famous banana split pie.
You go through the bags and confirmed he got everything you needed for the meal.
‘OK, now all we need is some aprons.’ you smiled as you pulled out the two aprons Melissa got for you in the secret santa.
You hold up one apron with the image of a woman’s naked torso, and another with a naked man torso.
‘I am not putting that on.’ he laughed as he pointed at the male apron.
‘Fine wear this one.’ you smiled as you put the woman’s apron around his neck.
‘And I will wear this one.’ you giggled as you put on the man’s apron.
You tied each other aprons and spend the text five minutes making silly poses and jokes.
‘Come on you foxy lady, lets get started.’getting to
You both wash your hands before you assign the task of getting the noodles ready for the spaghetti while you started getting the ground beef ready for the sauce.
It all felt so domestic, like it had been all those years ago. You couldn’t image making dinner with anyone but Derek.
While the noodles and sauce cooked you were spreading the cheese over the bread while Derek washed the lettuce for the salad. After that was done and the spaghetti was ready, bread cooked and salad made you started on the pie.
The base for the pie was actually not ice cream, but cream cheese and crushed pineapple. You put it in the graham cracker pan and put it in the fridge to cool, you and Derek would add the topping after dinner.
You and Derek sat the table and sat down to eat the meal you had cooked.
‘So what’s been going on? As your girlfriend I demand you keep me updated, none of that one call a week crap anymore.’ you said pointing at him with your fork.
‘Alright alright, daily phone calls, I can do that. If you can promise you’ll get at least six hours of sleep every night.’ Derek bargained.
‘Five.’ you tried.
‘Seven.’
‘Fine.’ you said before he could up your required hours of sleep.
‘And as far as what’s going on it’s actually something I wanted to ask your opinion on something.’ he said after finishing his spaghetti.
‘Sure.’ you said as you handed him the large bowl of spaghetti.
‘I was thinking of growing a pack, with troubled teens.’ he said as he sat down his fork.
‘Like a werewolf upgrade that doubles as a mentor group? Maybe, but it can’t be a large group of teens running around all wolfed out and out of control. Draws too much attention, you could have what...two maybe three if you can train them fast.’ you answered thoughtfully.
‘Now I just have to find  the lucky three.’ he said as he continued eating.
‘Well I know of at least two kids who I think really need your help, Erica Reyes and Isaac Lahey. They need actual help Derek and no matter what me or the other nurses say no one seems interested in helping them.’ you said as you finished your plate and pushed it aside.
‘What’s going on?’ Derek asked.
‘Erica has epilepsy, seizures almost three times a week, her family is affording her medicines but they wont be able to get her next refill since her dad got cut off. She won’t make it two days without her meds.’ you said.
‘And Isaac?’
‘His father beats him.’ you sad sourly.
‘That boy is as sweet as candy and his drunk of a father...his mother died, all he has is his dad. No matter how many times I have patched him up he wont go to authorities, and if he won’t say anything they cant do anything. That boy’s gonna get himself killed if someone doesn’t reach out.’ you said.
‘I’ll look into them, now onto dessert.’ Derek said as he stood up.
You followed suit and headed into the kitchen and you two both begin  decorating the pie.
And just like always you both ended up having an epic fight, eating the pie with no fucking toppings sitting on the floor, and your kitchen being a mess.
‘I wish I didn��t wear white.’ Derek said looking at his chocolate syrup covered shirt.
‘I wish I hadn’t just cleaned this kitchen.’ you smiled as you leaned against him.
‘Wanna know what I really wish?’ he asked as he turned toward you.
‘What?’
‘That you’d let me kiss you again.’ he said as he looked at your lips.
‘I can make that happen if you let help me clean up.’ you blush as you lean up and give him a  quick peck on the lips.
Well you meant for it to be peck, but before you knew it you and Derek were laid back on your dirty kitchen floor making out like teenagers.

hello! could you write the reaction of bts who discover the drawing book of their girlfriend, with a drawing of them. thank you. sorry if u cant understand. ツ
Hi! I’m sorry this took so long! Kat and I have been super busy! But thank you for being so patient! And we got you, no need to be sorry! Thank you so much for the request! Here you go!
-❤ Kat & Sar 💖
BTS Reacts to Your Drawing of Them
Jungkook: You guys would be moving in together after almost a year of dating. The two of you would be unloading boxes in his apartment, when Jungkook finds something intriguing. In one of the boxes, there would be a sketchbook. Curious, since you had never mentioned having an interest in drawing before, Jungkook starts to look through it. There were many drawings of landscapes and nature, different things that he knew you loved. Suddenly, he stops. There, in your sketchbook, is a drawing of him. Jungkook stares in awe. He notices how detailed it is, how you captured every little bump and mark on his face. He would break out into the biggest smile, knowing that you paid so much attention to every little aspect of him. Although he always knows, Jungkook couldn’t help but feel more loved by you, and he couldn’t help but fall in love with you all over again.
Tumblr media
Jimin: You would be together at Big Hit, keeping Jimin company while he practices the new choreography. Unbeknownst to him, you had brought your drawing pad. Every now and then he catches you staring at him, focused, before looking back down at whatever it is in your lap. Jimin walks over, and discovers just what it is that you’re doing. He freezes. You’re drawing. But it isn’t just a random drawing. It’s him, dancing. “Is that how you see me?” You stare up in confusion at your beautiful boyfriend. You come clean, telling him about how you see him as hardworking and passionate. Jimin doesn’t say anything. He’s no longer looking at the drawing, but he’s staring at you. You see a small smile spread on his face, and your eyes widen as he sits down next to you, leaning his head on your shoulder. “I really love you, you know?” You nod your head in response, never really understanding just how much that one drawing means to him.
Tumblr media
Taehyung: It would be late at night, around 2 am. Taehyung would seemingly be fast asleep. You on the other hand, are restless. You’d have the bedside lamp on and your sketchbook in your lap. With the room fill with the dim light, you start to draw him. His handsome face that’s now relaxed, the little smile in his face from a good dream that’s playing in his head. The only thing that’s missing are his eyes. His beautiful eyes…that are now open!? You’d squeal while he’d chuckle, his voice still raspy from sleep. “I appreciate your talent baby, and that you love to draw me specifically. But, you need to rest. It’s late, come cuddle with me.” You give in, putting your drawing aside and snuggle into his arms. You fall asleep, while Taehyung is now unable to. He stays up, staring at your drawing in admiration, never understanding what he had done to get a girlfriend as special as you.
Tumblr media
Hoseok: You would be drawing digitally on our laptop, while Hobi is in the other room. After awhile your stomach would growl, and realizing just how hungry you were, you closed the laptop and headed to the kitchen. You would run in, Hobi coming out, saying that he wanted to go watch some funny YouTube videos. Laughing, you’d just shake your head and continue on to the kitchen. Jhope gets to the laptop and opens it up, and realizes that whatever you were doing was left open. There, on the screen, was a drawing of him. A big smile on his face, blushing cheeks and his eyes would form into slits. Suddenly, a loud squeal would be heard throughout the house. You run back into the bedroom, worried that something happened, before realizing just what is going on. “Y/N! You’re drawing me!? I’m so flattered! Oh my god you’re so good at this I can’t believe you drew me! Aww babe! You’re so cute!” Hobi yells, squishing your cheeks together “You should’ve told me! I would’ve done an aegyo pose!” You just laugh and shake your head. “It wouldn’t have been the same. I just want you. My usual sunshine of a boyfriend.” A small blush would spread on your cheeks, before jhope places a tender kiss on your lips and you both snuggle in to watch YouTube videos. Never before had Jhope been more grateful to the Internet. 
Tumblr media
Yoongi: It would be late, and Yoongi had already headed to bed. You would usually join him, loving how he’d cuddle up to you unconsciously, but you were feeling restless. It had been a while since you’d been together, with him on tour, that you just wanted to be in his company. Almost on its own, your hand reaches for your sketchbook and you soon start to draw. Soon, you drift off into sleep. Yoongi wakes up in the middle of the night to find you asleep over something. On a closer look, he finds a drawing of himself. He sees himself smiling, his eyes crinkled in happiness. Amazed by your talent and just how closely you pay attention to him when he isn’t looking, his gummy smile takes up his face as he reaches for you, picking you up and carrying you to bed with him. He falls asleep with you in his arms, thinking that maybe he should smile more often if he gets too see your drawings. But only for you. 
Tumblr media
Namjoon: “Baby, what’s this?” Namjoon asks as you come out of the bathroom. You freeze as you see him on the floor, reaching for something under your bed. You realize that it’s your sketchbook. “Oh, that? That’s nothing! Here, I’ll take it!” Before you reach him though, Namjoon had already opened it and began looking through. All the landscapes you’ve drawn, flowers, nature, and people. Specifically Namjoon. “Wow…sweetie this is amazing. You have a great talent. Why haven’t you shared this with me?” You shrug, saying that they aren’t that great. “What do you mean? I’ve never seen anything more beautiful…wait. Is that me?” A blush spreads across your cheeks as you realize you can’t hide it anymore. He’s looking at a drawing of himself, with earbuds in and a book on his lap. He looks up at you with a sly smile. “Baby, you should’ve told me you wanted to draw me. I’ll be more than happy to model for you.” He gets up and heads to the kitchen, going to make you breakfast before he stops next to you. “If it means getting to be in the presence of my beautiful girlfriend for hours while all her attention is on me. And only me. Then you can draw me anytime sweetie.”

Seokjin: The two of you would just be hanging out in the living room; him watching a movie while you’re snuggled up next to him. Jin gets up, saying that he wants to get some snacks. “Alrighty! Grab me my favorite please!” You tell after him. He raises his hand in response and you settle back into the couch. You reach over the couch and grab your sketchbook that you were drawing in earlier. You start to finish the drawing of Jin that you started when he enters the room once again. “Okay so I have chips and your favorite chocolate-Yah! Is that me!?” Jin yells, surprised. You shrug casually. “Of course! Who else would I be drawing?” Jin continues to stand there flustered. “But- but you never told me you could draw!” You laugh in response, enjoying just how embarrassed he’s getting. “Well you never asked silly!” Jin continues to stand there, frozen, before finally coming back to reality. He walks over and watches you as you finish the drawing of himself. Suddenly, a small smirk crosses his face. “…I do look pretty good though. I didn’t think my beauty could be captured on paper.” He says, half-jokingly. You shut the notebook closed and playfully hits his arm. “That’s why I never told you! You’re so full of yourself!” You both laugh at this before he pulls you close to him once again, and unpauses the movie. “Only because of you honey. Only because of you.”
