"What else should we buy in this aisle?" Chaery slowly pushes the cart down the chip aisle.

"Dude? We already have so much chips." Seungmin points at the popcorn boxes, nachos and other chips already sitting in the cart. "We haven't even gone to the desserts yet."

"Kim Seungmin, we are hosting a scary movie night. Back to back scary movies." She pauses to glare at him. "Of course people are going to look for food. We need to over-compensate than under-compensate." She continues to lecture him.

"She's kinda right." Soobin shrugs. "Gotta be good hosts." He shows the big pack of sour worms in his hand. "Sour worms?"

"Yes, but for decoration!" She grabs the bag and tosses it into the cart.

"Decoration?"

"Yeah, I'm going to put it into a fancy jar and organize it all cutely." Chaery giggles, making you shake your head as you trail behind with Soobin. 

"Can we please just eat these normally?" Seungmin continues to bicker with Chaery as they finally lead the way out of the aisle and onto the baked goods/dessert section. Soobin tucks his hands in his pockets, looking down at you with a smirk. You furrow a brow, confused as to what he's smiling like that for.

"What? Weirdo." He laughs and shakes his head.

"Oh, nothing." You playfully hit him on the bicep. "Ouch!"

"You can't just look at me then say that."

"Nah. It's nothing serious. But, Yunho is still coming right?"

"Yes." You squint your eyes at him.

"Goodluck making sure Chaery stays quiet."

"Oh hush, she'll be fine."

"Mhm." He wiggles his eyebrows.

"Just friends, remember?"

"Hm." Soobin hums. "We'll see about that tonight."

"Choi Soobin, what is that supposed to mean?"

"Scary movies are the best environment for PDA."

"Or, scary movies are just a good environment for friends in general."

"Mm, no." Soobin shuts you down, making you scoff. "But, we can say that if it makes you feel better."

"It does." You continue to squint at him. "You guys are such instigators."

"Sorry." He smirks. "Just know I think it's adorable." You make a face and roll your eyes. "On a more serious note, have you heard from Seonghwa?" You shake your head.

"Not really. Not after I told him we should end things." You shrug. "He can be mad all he wants, but I'm done with it. He doesn't realize he's wrong."

"Good." Soobin scratches at his temple. "What if he ends up running back to you, though?"

"No, I highly doubt that." You say lowly. "Why?"

"Just wondering. I, um, was just reminded of when Seonghwa never wanted to join in on movie nights or our kick-its. I know it's a small thing but it meant a lot to you. It's nice knowing Yunho is making the effort, even as your friend."

"Mm, yeah." You look at your feet as you continue to walk alongside of him.

♣︎ FLASHBACK

"Hwa." You gently nudge him while lifting your head from his chest to look at him directly in the eye.

"Hm?" He hums, eyes still glued onto his tv screen in front of him. The both of you lay in his bed, his apartment awfully quiet after San and Mingi left for a late night fast food run. Seonghwa's fingers gently trace circles on the edge of your shoulder, his expression flat as he continues to watch the show that's on.

"We're having a movie night at the apartment in a few days. You should come." He lets out a small, pathetic chuckle before shaking his head.

"I don't know."

"Why not? You never come even though it's just my roommates and a few of our friends."

"Exactly. I don't know your friends like that, so why would I go?" You furrow your brows and lift your head from his chest.

"So wouldn't you take that as an opportunity to get to know them?"

"What makes you think your friends are interested in getting to know me? I know they don't like me." Seonghwa has a small smirk forming at the corner of his lips.

"Because they're my friends at the end of the day. They'll still try because they know it matters to me. Just like me asking you to do the same with them."

"It's just weird. I don't wanna be around people who don't like me. On top of that, I know they're your friends, but I'm sure they truly care less." He sighs. "Sorry, I just don't see myself doing it."

"Not even for me?"

"Why do you have to form it that way? You're trapping me into the situation." You roll your eyes, throwing your leg over him to start getting dressed again. "Where are you going?"

"Home."

"I'm being honest, Y/N. I don't see the point of this." He sighs and tries to grab at your wrist. "You don't have to act like that. If it really makes you feel better, I'll do the next one. Okay?" He says just to give you what you wanna hear, though he doesn't mean it and he'll find another way to get out of it.

"Nevermind. Just forget it."

♣︎ END

"My point is.. people always realize after they lose something good. I just don't wanna see you get hurt by Seonghwa again, is all." Soobin chimes in again.

"Thanks." You give him a small smile. But, it immediately fades when you both hear Seungmin and Chaery bickering over the types of dessert they should buy, and whether or not Chaery should arrange a small charcuterie board last minute. Soobin cuts in and tells Chaery not to, while grabbing a pack of freshly baked cookies for dessert. He takes the cart from them and heads towards the self-checkout, making you laugh at how frustrated he's gotten in the past few minutes. When you and your roommates finally get home, you all get washed up and clean the apartment to start setting up the food at the table.

You're excited to see Yunho tonight, especially since you both haven't seen each other over the weeks due to tremendous amounts of tests, papers and projects. But, he still checked on you through random texts and calls, keeping it short for the sake of deadlines and letting you get rest. But, you missed Yunho, his company. You missed the random walks. You missed the McDonald's runs. You missed seeing him in the library— which, you haven't really gone to just because you've been spending more nights studying with your roommates comfortably in your apartment.

You remember asking him if he was still down to come tonight, reassuring him that he wasn't obligated and that you'd completely understand if he had other things to do. To be honest, you were ready for it. You were ready for Yunho to tell you he indeed did have other [better] things to work on.

'Nope. I'm gonna be there.' 

Is what he surprisingly comes back with when you tell him. When you heard his response on the other line, you felt your palms get a little sweaty, nerves starting to get to the best of you. How could you keep him entertained? Did he feel pressured? Did he even want to go? What was he going to think of you with your friends?

He is going because he is genuinely interested in going, right?

You couldn't help but overthink.

"Hey, what're you thinking about?" Chaery looks at you before unloading the chips into a big bowl.

"I hope Yunho didn't feel pressured or obligated to come."

"Are you kidding?! Absolutely not!" She sets the empty bag aside. "If he didn't want to come, I am certain Yunho respects you enough to be honest about it. But, I genuinely think he wants to come and just hang out with you." Chaery brushes your hair back. "Don't think that way, babe. If I were him, I'd love to spend time with you, too." You chuckle and roll your eyes.

"Please. We are just friends."

"For now." She winks with a playful pinch to the arm. "Promise he will enjoy himself."

"Thank you." You poke out your bottom lip. "So, how can I make myself useful?" She laughs.

"You are always useful. But, a bit of help with organizing the snacks would be great! People are gonna be here soon." You chuckle and help her set up the rest of the snacks, spreading the decorations across the table shortly afterwards. 

Just as she had mentioned, your friends started arriving quickly— all falling into your apartment one by one. You start to worry a bit when Yunho hasn't arrived, anxiously fiddling with your fingers and checking your phone. You head into the bathroom to relieve yourself and take a moment to calm down.

If he didn't want to be here, he would just say so.

You let out a breath and swing the door open, eyes landing on the front door ahead.

"There you are! She's finally done doing her business—" Your eyes widen when you see Yunho standing next to Seungmin, furrowing your brows at your roommate for having no filter most of the time.

"Seungmin." You say with clenched teeth, making him laugh.

"Kidding! Jeez." He gently taps Yunho on the arm with the back of his hand. "Anyway, I'm gonna help Chaery with the rest of this stuff in the kitchen. Feel free to grab whatever you need and get comfortable." Seungmin jogs over to the kitchen, leaving you and Yunho alone.

"I honestly thought you were gonna back out last minute." Yunho raises a brow before laughing a bit.

"Is that what you think of me?" You shake your head. "I told you I wanted to come."

"I'm glad you didn't change your mind." You smile up at him. "Hungry?"

"A bit?" You laugh and show him to the food, letting him greet your friends and roommates on the way. Yunho helps himself to a slice of pizza, while you take two— getting a bowl of chips and popcorn to share before you plop onto the couch and set your things down on the coffee table. Everyone is pretty much situated at this point, all sprawled throughout your living room while waiting for the first movie to play.

"Okay! Is everyone ready?!" Chaery asks, making sure everyone has their food before beginning.

"Let's go! Play it!" Hyunjin responds excitedly from the floor. And with that, the first movie begins: The Devil Inside.

Of course, with any scary movie, things can start off slow. It gives the illusion that it may not be as bad as you think— when indeed, it eventually does get to that point. Yunho sits next to you on the couch, hugging close to the arm rest to give you space in case you needed it. But, he feels your leg brush against his and he feels himself loosen up. He doesn't feel so tense when you set your plate back onto the coffee table and give him a few gentle taps on the thigh, asking him if he needs anything with that pretty smile of yours. He almost gets lost in the way your eyes twinkle when you look at him, the way your smile feels so genuine.

You are warm.

You are safe.

"I'm okay." Yunho responds to your question with a low whisper. You give him a small nod before proceeding to eat your food while watching the movie.

As the movie progresses, there are a few moments when you've already had to sit back and cover your eyes, the scenes too intense for your liking. Yunho actually hates these movies, truly. He can't stand them because he hates the visuals, the sounds. He doesn't really know where he lies about all this stuff, he truthfully wouldn't know how to explain it. But, he just doesn't like it. It's unsettling, and it's not his cup of tea. Of course, probably stating the obvious for most people.

The point here is that even if you had told him about the movie choice beforehand, he'd still show up. Because he genuinely wants to be here with you. He'll take any time he gets outside of school purposes.

"Oh shit!" You jump from the loud sound, instantly covering your face and digging it against Yunho's shoulder. He laughs at you, before wrapping his arm around your waist— pulling you closer to his body. 

"It's okay, it's over." He chuckles, looking at you while you continue to hide behind your hands.

"Don't lie to me!"

"I would never. I promise." 

"Ugh." You whine. "I'm sorry, I'm gonna hide from time to time."

"It's fine, I don't mind." 

"Really?" You look up at him as you find your body comfortably resting against his, Yunho's arm still wrapped around you to keep you there. He simply nods with a small smile, subtly biting onto his bottom lip when he feels you adjust in your position and scoot even closer. Yunho is trying his best not to be stiff, awkward; but in all honesty, he likes having you close and he just wants you comfortable. 

"Really." He whispers as the intensity in the movie climbs again. You smile at him before returning your attention to the tv, Yunho's hand gently resting on your thigh. 

"Dude." Seungmin whispers over to Chaery and subtly nods in your direction. "Cute."

"Stop." She harshly whispers back with a playful tap to the chest. "Leave them!"

"Says you." Seungmin bites back sarcastically before earning another hit on the bicep. 

You continue to let Yunho hold you, hand gently resting against your thigh as you keep close to him. He draws tiny circles on the surface of your leggings, making you silently giggle to yourself from the ticklish feeling due to his gentle touch. At some point, your hand lingers near his, but you're too afraid to make the first move [if any]. So, you don't. You can barely focus on the movie because you're too busy deciding if you should just say fuck it or not.

The movie says otherwise, though. Especially when a loud jump scare happens yet again.

"Oh my god, can they stop doing that!" You jump, hands coming up to cover your face.

"Y/N, watch the movie." Yunho teases, trying to pry your hands away from your face.

"Only if they promise to stop the bullshit." You joke.

"Okay, I'll call them and discuss." Yunho successfully pries your hands off after that statement, eyes peering into yours to check if you're okay. He doesn't necessarily let go of your right hand, letting you lace your fingers with his. 

"You're funny." You giggle. 

"At least you're laughing, though." He smiles. "Promise the rest of the movie won't be that bad. I got you, okay?"

"Okay." You nod, sinking back into your position against Yunho, hands still laced together. 

"Comfortable?" You smile at him.

"Mhm. If you are."

"Don't worry about me. As long as you don't feel threatened by the movie." You let out a small laugh.

As the movie continues, your position shifts in a way where you're almost laying onto Yunho, while he continues to have an arm wrapped around you and his hand locked with yours. Being with Yunho makes you feel comfortable, and the movies seem less threatening with him here. You can handle scary movies for the most part, but having him feels like a warm blanket on a cold, snowy day; having Yunho feels like the one sunshine ray poking through the clouds.

Yunho is safe.

The rest of the movie goes on, with Yunho being there to soften the blows of the remaining jumpscares. Before the next movie, you run to grab a few more snacks, with Yunho still welcoming you in his arms just like before. When the second movie gets rolling, things continue in the same manner with him. No one is really batting an eye, but everyone is also aware that you and Yunho have gotten closer lately. They try to mind their own business, except they all can agree on one thing: You deserve better than Park Seonghwa. You have been happier without him.

That's all that matters.

During the second movie, Yunho continues his subtle acts of affection— little pinches on your thigh, squeezing your hand, caressing the surface of your hand with his thumb as his way to console you, teasing you whenever you hide;

Nothing more, nothing less.

And it brings you so, so many butterflies. Yet, you're still not really sure of what you feel for Yunho. Maybe you're scared, maybe you're overthinking? Maybe Seonghwa was partially to blame since you're afraid of getting hurt. But, what you do know is that you hate when the movie marathon comes to an end because this means your friends go home, Yunho goes home. 

Everyone does their role in helping you and your roommates clean up, even though you've reassured them that they didn't need to. With that, the house is clean under half an hour, friends bidding their farewells shortly after. Yunho sticks around to make sure nothing else is needed, giving you leverage to join him outside once your roommates thank him for his help.

"What a night." Yunho laughs at your statement just as he slips back into his shoes, throwing his hood over his head. 

"Exhausting?"

"A bit." You giggle. "I can walk you to your apartment—" Yunho shakes his head.

"No, then who is gonna walk you back?" He smirks. "We'll go back and forth." You snort.

"Fine." You cross your arms and look up at him. "Did you have fun, though?"

"I did have fun watching you cover your eyes and accidentally hit me from time to time." You laugh.

"Hey!"

"Kidding. I did." He chuckles and gently taps you on the tip of your nose. "I'll be okay on the walk over."

"Okay." You smile. "Thank you for coming, and for being my shield?" You say in a questioning tone and Yunho smiles.

"Of course." You walk closer and open your arms for a hug, immediately wrapping them around his waist when he pulls you in. You hold your position against him for a bit, taking in his scent while he continues to hold you. 

Yunho is warm.

Yunho is safe.

When you finally pull back and look up at him, you hesitate with your next move. But, with the way Yunho continues keep his gaze on you, you almost feel like he's expecting your next move. Maybe he'd like it? You can't exactly help yourself, either. He was so sweet and gentle with you earlier, and he didn't have to come tonight. He didn't have to, especially not knowing anybody besides your roommates. Yet, he did. And he was there by your side the entire time.

You can't exactly help yourself.

So, you toss the overthinking out the window, tippy-toe and give Yunho a chaste kiss to the cheek. He smiles a bit, ears instantly hot and red.

"Seriously, thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, Y/N. I like your company." He digs his hands into his pockets. "Get some rest."

"Okay. I will. Goodnight, Yunho."

"Goodnight." He bites onto his bottom lip before turning on his heel for the lonely walk back to his apartment. It's a little past midnight and Yunho really does feel the loneliness the farther he gets from your apartment. When he steps into his own, he kicks his shoes off and gets ready for bed. As soon as he slips into his covers and his head hits the pillow, he can't help but think of you.

You.

Tonight, Yunho doesn't think sleep will find him. But he's okay with it for once. Because it's you— you're the reason why sleep won't find him. You're the reason why he's been happier.

You.

And he hopes you feel the same way, too.

OMG🫣😝😍❤️❤️❤️ Liv's parents are sooo cool and their designs are sick!!! What are their inspiration and can you tell more about this family 🥺❤️ ?

Thank you very much! I feel like I really hit the nail on the head with their designs, but the truth is they were cooking in my head for a very long time before this.

From the first time I thought about what all the bandmates' parents would look like, I was already thinking of making Liv's parents both Techno/Rock fusions like her. I think what originally made me gravitate towards this idea is the fact that Liv is the only one in the band who has a very very strong sense of self and does not have any kind of identity crisis or self image issues. I feel like the only way to make this fact feel believable in a young character in her position is through their parents. So I gave her parents who are both similar to her and each other and who are together and loving, and who live in a society of other Rock/Techno trolls too. (Also thinking about it more, it just made sense that the "rockers" and the "ravers" would have the largest population of mixed offspring, they're also right next to each other on the map, so i came up with the Shallows and all of that because of this...)

Liv's genre at the very start was very simply just electronic rock. But as I discovered more music over the past months she became more industrial metal with punk elements. - My OCs develop a lot by me bouncing them off each other. When Hed and Liv meet, Hed's Rock/Metal instincts are very much suppressed from living almost his entire life around Funk Trolls. I needed Liv's genre (to obviously feel right for her, but also) to be hardcore enough to be able to bring out Hed's suppressed side without clashing with his love for rap.

At the moment this is the most "Hed and Liv making music together" song I have in my playlists:

Now that Liv's genre/playlist stopped changing so much and I've been happy with where I am with her for a while, I was able to determine her parents' genres based on that. Which was simply one parent being Industrial Metal and the other something electronic and punk (which I later found out is just called Electropunk lol).

Her dad Flint is heavily based on Keith Flint from the Prodigy. So heavily he is basically that guy's trollsona lol.

The Prodigy, if you don't know, were pioneers in fusing dance music with rock music. It was pretty fascinating reading about it. I recently watched this good and not-dragged-out video about their origins and till their biggest single Firestarter.

Even before I started designing any of them I knew I wanted to give one of the parents' very stylized neon "shark teeth". In my mind it felt like such a good fusion of sharp Rock teeth and the weird blocky neon Techno teeth. And when I fixated on Keith Flint for inspiration it just felt right to give them to him. Look at this guy!

I named the dad Flint simply after this guy's last name. But also it's a nice rocky name. Also flint was historically used to start fire which kind of makes it a punk name in my opinion too. Plus -> Firestarter, the big Prodigy single. :P

The mom I designed after I outlined the dad and I didn't have any particular person in mind for her. Her design is mostly Liv's characteristics that I didn't yet represent in her dad. Direct outside inspiration was more or less just these cool neon rave pants because she deserved some bright color lmao.

I gave her a German accent because I always imagined Liv with a vague European accent, and also simply because Germans seem to be the gods of industrial metal. But my music inspiration when drawing her was also Laibach, which is a Slovenian band, so I gave her the name Meta because it is both a German and Slovenian name (In German it's a short form of Margarete meaning "pearl", and in Slovenian the name literally means "mint".) Meta also just felt like a good fit to go along with Oblivion, Liv's full name.

Now as I've written all this and read the question again I realize this is probably not what you were asking for at all... But consider this as a bit of a behind the scenes for my AU. 😅 Bonus content on the dvd but instead in the form of a boring tumblr post. :P

[aurumalatus]

how do i get good at writing like you 🥺👉👈

being "good at writing" is def a process, and since "good writing" is subjective it can kind of be all over the place. i don't really consider myself a good writer, and i was never an english major or anything when i was in college, so i'm probably not the *best* person to be giving writing advice, but i've been writing fanfic for a long time so this is my genuine advice in that regard! (below the cut)

serina's totally legit (maybe not) writing advice

start with an idea this one seems obvious. like, serina, no fucking duh. but starting with an idea that YOU like and are passionate about can make all the difference. for me, this is the difference between words naturally flowing on the page, and me writing shit like "he laughed laughily while laughing". if you can really get into an idea, it makes the process a LOT easier.

flesh it out if you're not an outline person, that's okay. i'm not really either, unless it's for multi-chapter fics. i just kind of skip around writing scenes that i think of as it goes, but warning this can get VERY disorganized very quickly, which is why i ALSO have a habit of restarting like 8 diff drafts of one piece LOL. everyone works differently so find your vibe. if your idea is something like "kinich and reader kissing", figure out WHY kinich and reader are kissing. where are they kissing? is it awkward? what's the vibe?

set the tone for me, every piece has a bit of a different style. pixelprincess has a lighter style, which means more basic descriptions that essentially serve to lead into the funny dialogue and other things. "brighella, the hellraiser" is one that i wanted to have a more evocative tone and a frigid vibe, which means it has more flowery-esque prose and metaphors, rather than straightforward description. turnfire is somewhere in between. for me, setting the tone can be helped by a lot of things, like making moodboards or playlists. for me personally, the music i'm listening to while writing matters SO MUCH.

don't be afraid to start over/change as i said before, i have a habit of starting over my drafts a LOT. i think the last chapter of turnfire had something like 6 drafts. but i always think "if this is dragging for me to write, it's probably dragging for them to read too". and sure, maybe that's not always true, but why would i keep writing something that even i don't like? i'm really not afraid to start over or put things in a different direction than i originally intended if i feel it's more interesting. if you're someone who likes to stick to your outlines though, do that! like i said, i don't really outline, so that's up to your individual preference.

write things down as they come i find ideas everywhere. you guys might have noticed that i like to write a lot of aus, and it's because i truly get ideas in every single media i consume. games i play, music i listen to, etc. if i think of an interesting wording or metaphor, i'll write it down. seeing these things really helps when i'm writing, and it often helps me branch out my writing.

don't be afraid to put it down. you might have also noticed that i have TONS of wips going on at any one time. THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE. some people find this very overwhelming which is understandable! for me, it gives me other things to work on when i'm feeling stuck in one piece. by switching between them, i can keep my ideas fresh and stay in better form without burning out for longer. again, this is a personal preference! if you want more specific advice regarding ACTUAL writing, like sentence flow, descriptions, etc, let me know! again, i'm REALLY not the best LOL but i also want to encourage everyone to get started on writing however they can if they feel the urge! the fandom can always use more writers :)

[fumifooms]

oh, sorry for so many asks, i also wanted to say too though i really agree so much with your chilchuck thoughts so far, even down to your personal headcanons about how things might go post-series. and you're absolutely right, i'll defend that little guy any day myself. you understand him so well and it's kind of relaxing to have someone else dish out this kind of analysis and already agree with all of it cus it's just so real, so thank you again for the Meal <- perhaps the perfect thing to say about dungeon meshi analysis when i think about it

i know you have playlists and stuff so i wanted to share a song i've been listening to that that reminds me of him: divine loser by clem turner

No worries, they’ve been a lot of fun! I do plan on getting back to each one btw, just gotta get through some other things first hopefully. Aaaah that’s really nice to hear 🥺 I do know the feeling haha, it’s always fun to have posts that Get It that you just nod along with 🤝 I’ve thought sooo much about Chilchuck I rotate him in my brain like rotisserie chicken more often than not, glad it all ended up being productive haha. Y’know recently my friends have been calling me a Chilchuck superfan/scholar jokingly and it actually made me have a realization moment of…

Bc I’ve always said Laios was my fave and like, he does mean everything to me idk if I’ve ever felt so seen as with Laios, I relate to him sooo much, but then. Okay alright that can be a different thing than a character being your favorite fine FINE I admit it Chilchuck’s my top blorbo. He’s so.🧍‍♂️I can’t even describe. He’s so….. He’s a clown but he’s also perfection in its best imperfect form I will not be taking further questions today. My friend called him my silly rabbit like that one meme and it makes me laugh sm

Thank you for the music rec!! I listened to it and yes agreed, sent straight to my Chil playlist. Songs are my bread and butter when I have character brainrot bc like with web weavings I feel like there are so many emotions and thoughts you can communicate about something so simply through one… (Which for anyone interested here’s my web weaving tag, got 2 about Chil). Gonna link all my dunmeshi playlists while I’m here: Dungeon Meshi, Chilchuck & his wife, marchil, Mithrun.

Ok everyone saw this coming but this ask ran away from me and I ramble about some song lyrics I associate with Chil & different facets of his life below the cut. Some people find my, ehem, heated rambles about Chil entertaining, this is your cue to get out the popcorn.

When thinking about songs for Chil I have 3 angles I take: About Chilchuck, about him and his wife, or about him & Marcille. Marchil is so engraved into me with their arcs together, that they’re like the concept of closure and letting go and letting yourself live again to me, sorry for all the non-enjoyers… But his dynamic with Marcille is a large part of his character arc so still fits, rock on.

I think currently my top song for him is Jackrabbit by San Fermin, because it combines all three it makes me go wild. It’s about trepidation… Throwing yourself into it even despite the fear (working with traps, survival in poverty where you have to rush & hustle), or just staying there paralyzed(not reaching out to his wife). Flight or freeze!! Saying goodbyes and saying hellos!! Not dying alone!! The life cycle of a wild rabbit living and dying, the baton pass race of life from generation to generation!! Chil and his daughters even!!! Going through life at a frenzied pace!! It is so Chilchuck and so marchil, and the music does give that hurried and scared energy to me too, and sigh the Marcille side to it with fear of death too…

Extra fun context but the other day on the discord server we were talking about what animal each character’s fursona would be as we do and I thought of a rabbit for Chilchuck: Quick footed, ‘cowardly’, small and frail and seen as weak 🙃, athletic and slender, pulls stunts, stressed out, has very fine hearing and has good instincts, etc. And ofc that fits really well with Marcille since she’s kinda associated with dungeon rabbits hehe~ But I think while Marcille’s 100% the cute round rabbit Chil’s more like a brown hare, more wild and like, more like a jackalope if we’re still doing monsters... I do lowkey find it more fun than his associated monster being mimics because he’s crabby, because they’re clever (with where they place themselves) and because of how he has a soft shell but soft insides, lol.

OKAY so that’s my song pick with the main 3 facets sure, now I’ll share some lyrics for each 3 sides separatedly 😈 Kinda summarizing my web weavings for him thus far. If we start with Chilchuck by himself we have… Enter One by Shelby Merry and Drunk by The Living Tombstone

With his wife, we have the bad end, and the good end for if they get back together with Lost Kitten by Metric and North by Sleeping At Last… Okay okay plus Love Like Ghosts and My Heart is Buried in Venice… Little Soldier by The Crane Wives for them also RUIN me

And Marchil… Marchil oh my beloved. Another buddy also made a full analysis on discord about Soap by The Oh Hellos for them lol, but these are Not I by I Fight Dragons and My Heart is Buried in Venice again~

Okay okay two more. Boats & Birds by Gregory and The Hawk, and Tummy by Tamino.

Finishing it up with quotes from, in order, A Softer World by Joey Comeau, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Acknowledgements by Danez Smith, The Letter by Richard Paul Evans, and last but not least posts from dead tumblr account flintcoded. I keep looking around and finding MORE fitting quotes. Someone stop me- In loving me you hold a knife at my throat, in loving you I tell you exactly where to cut. Forgive me, memory is a rope around my neck. I need you to be happy, I need one of us to be happy.

Hand in unlovable hand…

In conclusion;

1. Not really....? It's hard to figure out my actual thoughts on it but I guess, Self-inserting for me feels like it's designed for one person in mind (whoever is being inserted) when x reader can be anyone? And from what I've seen, the content is a bit different.

2. Probably? Definitely. But will I be the person criticizing it? No... I'm not really the type to be vocal about my grievances outside of the occasional personal aside. I usually just don't trust what I have to say is constructive. But I do love hearing what other people have to say.

3. Everything

Jkjk, um.... I'd say my motivation and writing style? (That doesn't fall under everything, right?) I just don't write very effectively. Like- I have a story in my head, but actually putting it down in writing, I kinda just wing it? Like write as I go. Which is fun for developing character lore, or short stories. It leads to a lot of stop and go with longer works, and the problem with that is that it looks clunky! If I'm an a completely different state of my mind than I was when I started a piece the words I put down don't really flow well with what came before. So I have to read and reread what's already been written and play mediator by finding a way to transition from one feeling to the next.

I mostly write for friends or for fun, though, so it's forgivable.

the content being different for self-inserting vs x reader is such an important distinction!! like. also in how you engage with it, too? like—i’m always interested in self-shippy stuff from a, best friend at brunch kinda way, you know? like “YESSSS tell me more, omg, you guys are sooo cute together 🥹” whereas if someone is like, bits&pieceing about an idea for a x reader setup, i’m engaging with it as a reader, like, oh, i am interested in whatever this this piece or fic is trying to lure us in with.

i keep running into i guess… fan-only spaces, for varying Big Fics? and they’re always so interesting to scroll through, because it’s just either people gushing about Said Fic, or like, recommending similar ones, OR it’s someone starting a conversation (a tiktok is the example i’m thinking of) being like, “deku wouldn’t wear fishnets” and then like, everyone who’s had similar grievances just like, jumping in LOL. none of it—the universal loving and the dismissal—is like.. in any way truly critical? it’s just people who’ve found each other agreeing over varying things. true constructive criticism (at least in fanfics) is hard… because you do have to seperate yourself from, “is this just not for me” vs. “i see and understand where this story is trying to land, but i don’t think it makes it” and even then you kinda have to… justify it, you know? like, is it not landing because it’s missed the mark, or do you just wish it did something different? and what i like about fanfic is that we (ideally) afford each other the—generosity of forgiving things, LOL. and i guesssss my original question is more… does becoming a mega, fandom-defining fic mean the fic then loses the privilege of that generosity? i think it must create a distance between it and the fandom it’s from, in a way… it sort of takes on the same… almost for-granted quality we might have with a published book? are we removing ourselves from it, by holding it up? HMMM. questions questions ig LOL.

with no. 3—flow is hard!!! 🥺 do you have any like, rituals or anything to get yourself back into the mindset you had, before picking up the piece again? if i leave off in the middle of a scene or whatever that needs to stick to a specific mood i listen to my playlist for the fic, or whatever. 🥹 it kinda helps to limber everything back up again. but—i mean!!! as long as you have fun with it, in the end. 🥺 the process of writing takes up so much time… we need to enjoy it, in some small way. especially if the end result is for friends and fun. 🥹

For the audio drama ask meme - 19? Please and thank you, love your show!

Y’all 🥺💖

19. Do you have any playlists/music you listen to while working on production?

So many. Legitimately, one for each character. You can find them on my Spotify page (below, if tumblr co-operates).

But I also have a 2nd, secret January playlist that wasn’t (until now, so I can show y’all) public that has more… villainous songs on there. And also sadder songs. He’s having A Time.

Way back when the discord was just me, Pinja (logo designer), Mick (theme composer), and Paige (Elaine) I used to post random memes along with updates and one of the first things I posted was the aforementioned playlist. And then I forgot about it for ~2 months.

And THEN we started adding cast to the discord and Rhys (who I do not know very well at all at this point I cannot stress this enough) texts me and goes ‘I’m listening to your January playlist. Hozier. Love it.’

And I’m like ‘Oh, well then, guess I can never speak to this guy again, that’s so embarrassing.’ So I told him ‘That’s so embarrassing, I can literally never speak to you again’ but that didn’t really work out for me, huh?

BUT WAIT IT GETS WORSE another month after that he tells me ‘Oh, I re-made your January playlist on the old man music app I use so I can listen to it sometimes and think about the show’ (<- exact phrasing) and I was like ‘You WHAT?!?! WHYYYYYYY???’ And instead of saying ‘To spite you personally, of course’ he said ‘Because I like it, and it helps me understand the character.’

And sometimes I just think about how much he had to give a shit to do that and it makes me really upset in a happy way. BUT NO ONE TELL HIM, HE’S NOT ALLOWED TO KNOW IT MEANS A LOT TO ME WHEN HE DOES NICE THINGS BC THEN HE’LL TRY TO DO MORE NICE THINGS AND THAT’S NOT OKAY.

So anyway, here’s the playlist!!

Dreamwastaken X Reader

hi! this is my first real one-shot and i hope you enjoy!

TW: use of Dream and Sapnap’s real names!!!

Y/N POV

Today. Dream and I’s face reveal was happening. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m terribly excited to see him, it’s just what if he doesn’t like what’s behind my mask? I talked to George and Sapnap about the possibility of me flying out to Florida from Ohio, just so I could surprise him with my face in real life and see the guy that became one of my closest friends and the guy I also secretly liked. They both agreed that it would be a great plan and I booked my ticket and now was currently on my way.

Dream POV

The countdown was less than two hours. I never knew that revealing my face to anyone would be so nerve wracking, to be honest. Y/N was one of the closest people I had, and she always made my day. The way she laughed, the way she gave smiles, even when she facetimed me crying at one in the morning about a guy she was gorgeous. George was currently talking to me, but I must’ve not been paying attention because he kept calling my name loudly. “CLAY!” “CLAYYYY!” “CLAYTONNNN!” I blinked and shook my head. “Yeah?” “How you feeling, big guy?” “Don’t call me that, and nervous.” He laughed and wiggled his eyebrows.“Someone’s got a crushhhh~” I shoved him. “Oh sush, you would too if you knew her like I did.” “Yeah, yeah, whatever.” “Where’d Sapnap go?” I ask, wondering how the house got so quiet. “He’s out getting groceries.” “Oh, alright.”

Y/N POV

I was here. In freaking Florida! I texted Clay/Dream and grinned.

DweamyPoo ☺️ I’m so excited to see you!

Me too! Think I can get a glimpse right now? 🥺

You’ve waited this long now! A few more hours won’t hurt you!

Oh whatever 🙄🙄

😜😜😜

I giggled and looked around for Sapnap. Soon enough, I saw a guy with a sign that said, “DREAM’S GIRLFRIEND Y/N! WELCOME TO WARM WEATHER!”

I rolled my eyes and gave him a hug. “Hey mamacita!” He gasped. “That’s my line!” I laughed and pointed to the sign. “I’m not Clay’s girlfriend.” He winked. “Not yet.” I groaned. “Whatever.” He helped me with my bags and put them in the trunk, and started up the car. I grabbed the aux and put on my playlist of Dream songs. He gave me a side eye and shook his head. “Really?” “Yes. Absolutely.”

DREAM POV

“Clayyyy! Only a few more minutes!” I was pacing. A lot. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I know. What if she doesn’t like me though? Or decides that I’m too ugly to look at and blocks me? I don’t think I could handle that, she literally means the world to me, George.” George sighs and smiles. “I think you love herrrrr.” I blush. “Shut up!” I hear the car pull up and perk up, hoping to divert the conversation. “Nick’s home! Should we help him with the groceries, George?” He nods and grabs his phone. “Yeah, lemme record something real quick.” I gave him a confused look. “Why?” “Oh nothing, still getting used to everything here, I wanna vlog.” I shrug and smile, “Alright, I guess.” I start making my way to the front door and see another person. “What-“

Y/N POV

I’m here, and I’ve got so many butterflies inside my stomach. I grip Nick’s arm and whisper. “What if I’m not what he expects? What if he decides I’m not pretty enough for him?” Nick puts a hand on my shoulder and reassures me. “Y/N he’s literally in love with you, you’re thinking too much on the “what if’s” and not in the moment of you guys. Trust me, he’ll think you’re pretty, and I haven’t even seen your face yet either.” I grin and get out of the car. “Thanks, Snapmap.” He rolls his eyes. “You ruined our moment!” My eyes flickered to the door and smiled. I was here, he was here, at the same time. He opened the door and I covered my eyes. “OMG! IS THAT YOU, Y/N?”

DREAM POV I blinked and rubbed my eyes. Was y/n seriously here? She waved and smiled. Gosh, that smile could be the death of me, it makes the whole world brighter when she shines it. “CLAY!!” “Y/N!!!” I ran up to her and brought her into a hug. “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE HERE!” She giggled and hugged me back. “Well yeah, I wanted to see Gogy of course.” I mock cried. “I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I wanted to see you.” “Good. Cause I was about to pinch myself to convince myself that you’re here and real.” Y/N pinched me. “Ouch!” “You said to pinch you.” “Not literally!” She rolled her eyes and looked up at me.

Y/N POV

He was really handsome. Like really handsome. His brown and blond hair curled around his face and his jawline. Omg, his jawline! It was sharp! And his eyes, dark emeralds, that would make the rarest gem in the world envious of the color he had in his eyes. He was perfect. “Um, Y/N? Are you alright?” Clay said, laughing. “Sorry, I got caught up in your beauty.” He kettle wheezed and blushed. “Really?” I nodded and glanced at his lips. He looked down at mine and started to lean towards me. I leaned forward and our lips connected. I swear I heard fireworks go off outside. It was magical, something that couldn’t be described with words. We broke apart and stared at each other, grinning. He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and kissed me again. “Y/N I love you, so much.” I giggled. “You’re lucky I love you too.”

THE END

[acefaun]

hey, you're allowed to take as much time as you need. Don't feel stressed or pressured to put out drawings/etc. Sometimes creativity comes and goes but know that your work is amazing regardless bcuz it comes from you <3. You're valid my guy struggles and all. Sending lots of love and wishes

😩 I wuv you. 🥺💖

Honestly, it’s not that I feel pressured to make any art or fics, but that being creative was an outlet for me.

There were so many good things! I’d feel sad or upset or I’d just need a distraction from the overwhelming thoughts, so then I’d write or draw. Next thing you know, I’d feel better AND I’d have a product at the end of my moping. And having created something with my own two hands feels good.

But right now it feels daunting. If I had to put it into words it’s a feeling like “Wow, how are you going to draw/write something better than that? That was freaking amazing; That was my prime, my masterpiece.” Or “All these guys in the fandom are so talented, I should just let them take it from here. I like looking at their stuff anyway.”

So instead of facing the scary tower of self-doubt I’ve made, I settled with playing Genshin as my distraction. except… I still get sad at the end of the day because unlike when I was being creative, there’s no end product that I’m used to. I mean, I build and power up my guys, but I can’t take them with me or show people “Look what I made!” Well… I do, but it’s not as gratifying!

But I got a big commission for my family business, we’re doing a 50 year anniversary, and I have to design everything. I have 4 months to work on everything; shirts, cups, banners, flags… whatever else they might want. I’m just. 😵‍💫 not present yet.

Maybe I should try getting off of the computer. Take a natural approach with sketchbooks and papers and pens and my trusty binder.

I'll figure something out somewhere. Just gotta crawl out of bed first. Put on some music and start my day. 🎃 Maybe putting on a Halloween playlist would raise my spirits.

In the meantime, I found a Baguette:

From far away I thought it was a mini-centaur. 🥺 Imagine how sad I was to find out it was a dog with a really tall hat.

Time for an update!

40. Checkmate- the chess aspect is what sold me tbh, but also it has this push and pull relationship that kinda reminds me of them, especially smp them “I’ve gotten tired of the games that you play when you tell me you love, then you throw me away.” “You might think you’re winning but checkmate.” “Can’t play me like your pawn.” “You’re just a narcissist who’s totally fake.”

41. Rät- this song is very much for the smp, it works for literally any of the dynamics on there, but i think that it works especially well for them “I studied code because i wanted to do something great like you.” “ I don't wanna eat the rich, I'd have to eat my hero's first and my tuition's paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse” “Let me level with you, man, as someone guilty of the game I took the help, I took the cash, I would've taken your last name” “I loved you, I loved you, I loved you it’s true. And sometimes i feel like i still f*cking do.”

42. IDK you yet- a long distance love song, reminds me of when they first started streaming together. If you’ve ever had an online crush, this song is like that unsure feeling where you dont know why you are feeling things for someone that you really dont know. “How can you miss someone you’ve never met? cuz i need you now but i dont know you yet.” “How can you miss someone you’ve never seen? Tell me are your eyes brown blue or green?”

43. What a feeling- this song makes me thinks about them meeting in person for the first time, its more like them just thinking about meeting up tho tbh. But also, could work for the smp stuff. “What a feeling to be right here beside you now, holding you in my arms.” “What a feeling to be a king beside you somehow.” “I wish I could be there now.”

44. Talking to the moon- this song HURTS. Its a classic long distance love song and works for their relationship for sure. “I know you're somewhere out ther, somewhere far away” “At night, when the stars light up my room I sit by myself talking to the moon, trying to get to you In hopes you're on the other side, talking to me too, or am I a fool, who sits alone, talking to the moon.”

45. Vanilla twilight- another long distance love song, this one is so sweet, and definitely from dreams perspective.. just look at the lyrics “I'll watch the night turn light blue, but it's not the same without you because it takes two to whisper quietly. The silence isn't so bad, til I look at my hands and feel sad. 'Cause the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.” “Though I haven't slept in two days ‘Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.” “when I think of you, I don't feel so alone.” "Oh darling, I wish you were here"

46. Gimmie love- reminds me of how needy dream is lmao, its cute until you go to the lyrics, then its kinda sad. It fits how dream has been jealous recently because george hanging out with others. “Gimmie Gimmie love.” “You leavin' me here with ashes and fire. These people don't heal, these people don't feel.” “Caught in a river of records and dreams oh, will you keep up with me? Everyone's looking for someone to hold, but I can't let you go.”

47. Fool- okay hear me out on this one, george has feelings for dream but feels like dream is just playing with him, now I’m sad. Look at these lyrics and feel sad. “I am just a fool to keep on chasing after nothing great. You are just a fool to keep pretending that you're loving me.” “Call me on the phone at three, I talk to you while half asleep” “Rant to me I like the sound, I like your voice, I like your mouth”

48. Nothing else i could do- okay, cute vibe, but basically this song reminds me of how whipped dream is, how he will practically do anything for george. “I waited up for your call. You never told me you would, but the way that you smiled was a promise, I swear. Fell asleep by the phone, i missed a message or two. Deleted them 'cause they weren't you” “I miss the shape of your voice I miss the nape of your neck I miss the weight of your words I miss the bruises they left”

49. Clueless- so dream is very very obvious, and george is a brick wall of emotion. dream kinda likes that, because that means he doesn’t have to confront his feelings. “Do you think she has seen I'm captivated by her speech? Or is she clueless? Clueless of all of the things I used to say? Well, I hope she's clueless, I feel no desire to try and explain But I wonder what it could change” “I've been hiding from a friend feelings I've tried to forget Tell me, could you even imagine the type? The type to find a way 'round words being said If I had the guts, I'd go nuts for your hand in mine.”

50. Colorblind- had to add this one. I just had to. I’m sorry but its a good song and you know what, it fits. “More to me than a daydream, you're my color scheme. The whole spectrum of light.” “You stay, you go, you say I'm sorry. I'm sorry too, for wanting you.” “You're a part of my biology I can't separate myself from you”

51. Dream boy- okay this song makes me think of george coming to terms with what’s going on. Its teetering on the idea that he could be in love. “I accidentally self impose. Bashful thoughts, careless wants, emotional involvement. You've got my heart bursting at the seams. Maybe you're the boy from my dreams.” “If you're gonna love me make sure that you do it right” “Oh I tend to keep my heart locked water-tight”

52. Hot rod- umm this one, so their friendship is expanding into something more, everyone knowing that it is. Also kinda like sad with the lyrics, doubting that the other one wants you and all that.. “We both know, the way its gonna go.” “Truth is such a violent force, pushing you away” “Maybe I’m not all that you thought.”

53. A world alone- the whole idea in this song that everyone has something to say about the relationship,,, yeah. “We both got a million bad habits to kick, not sleeping is one.” “But people are talking, people are talking” “Maybe the Internet raised us, or maybe people are jerks” “You're my best friend, and we're dancing in a world alone.” “Let 'em talk”

54. Animal- short song but OOOOOh the dream smp vibes are yummy on this one. “Make me behave like an animal. I'm asking nicely,give me what I want. I'll ask politely, give me what I want.” “But it just don't feel right to be your number one”

55. July- the summer love trope??? its theirs your honor. Also smp vibes kinda. “You’re prettier than anything I've seen in my whole life.” “In late July, in late July. I was so happy I could cry. I can't remember why.” “Evil secret you're the precious thing I hide behind my tongue. I'd be foolish if I trusted you with everything you've done.”

56. Straight face- the uncontrollable smile bc u love someone, the doubt, mmm yes. “You know that I can't keep a straight face I wanna kiss your neck and touch your face I wanna hold you on a cold day. You know I'm falling fast, falling your way” “You’re the kind I always crave.”

57. Sweet tooth- this song feels very innocent and reminiscent of the beginning, when dream was hardcore flirting with george. “A sweet tooth for you. I'm wide awake. The sugar went straight to my brain. Feel like a kid, I double tap my chest with my fist. I like you, say it back.” “Never had nobody as sweet as you. Smooth around the edges, good as new gently into it and every rendezvous, got myself a brand new pain”

58. So damn into you- screams dream energy. george has him so whipped and he doesn’t know when it happened, but now he can’t stop. “It started with a bang. Don’t know how you got me so messed up, but baby I won’t ever get enough, 'cause I’m so damn into you” “Can I have you forever? Every single night.”

59. Loverboy- lots of things about their relationship in this song, the jealousy, them being that couple... “I'll show you how to fall in love We'll be the talk of all the town Now everybody wants to be like us They're getting jealous, feel it now” “You've started talking to a tool. But you know damn well it should be me” “Now everybody whispers things 'bout us” “if you leave me I might throw my heart away. You know my heart can't take the break. Nothing will ever be the same”

60. SRY ILY- okay yeah, the guilt for being in love with your best friend. you ever felt it? Also, again, dream being codependent and jealous... “So you understand why I feel the way that I do. When I can't get out of bed and my head’s fogged up and I'm sorry, I love you. I’m sorry I love you” “You hold me together but i know that's not really good for us” “I don’t fit in, I try too hard and I butt in so I’ll be heard. I’m not polite, I overshare. But if you need me I’ll be there.”

I’m gonna try to do a more in depth one for certain songs soon, if you have a specific song that you want explored further just drop it in the comments or in my ask box :)

here’s my dnf playlist and a complete song by song track-list and why I put them on it.

heatwaves- on here for very obvious reasons. i don’t think I need to explain. but here are some lyrics anyway. “Sometimes all I think about is you, late nights in the middle of June.”

Jenny- again this is kinda obvious. “I wanna ruin our friendship, we should be lovers instead, I don’t know how to say this, cuz you’re really my dearest friend.”

TALK ME DOWN- this one just has the best friends pining for eachother vibe. “I wanna sleep next to you, and that’s all I wanna do right now.”

Dark paradise- kinda has dream smp vibes. but also you could argue heatwaves vibes. “Everytime I close my eyes, it’s like a dark paradise.” “There’s no relief, I see you in my sleep.” “There’s no release, I feel you in my dreams.”

Sweater weather- yeah you know why. you absolutely know why. “All I am is a man, I want the world in my hands. I hate the beach but I stand, in California with my toes in the sand.”

Drop the Guillotine- idk man just vibey. give it a listen you’ll get it. it’ll click. “You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me, though you would never wanna see me bleed.”

Can I call you tonight?- thats on their only for of communication being through the phone huh. (major heatwaves vibe) “powers out and I can’t turn the fan on, so can I call you tonight? trying make up my mind, just how I feel.”-“I hear your voice on the phone, now I’m no longer alone.”

Lemon boy- oh my god this song. geogre do be seeing dream as his lemon boy. “I helped him plant his seeds and we’d mow the lawn in bad weather.”

Yellow- DREAM IS LITERALLY GEORGES YELLOW SHUT UP RIGHT NOW. “Look at the stars, look how they shine for you.” “For you I’d bleed myself dry.”

Like you do- first of all I love this song, second, this has dream being a little too attached vibes. The whole song is just them. “Lost in the blue, they don’t love me like you do, those chills that I knew they were nothing without you, and everyone else they don’t matter now. You’re the one I can’t lose, no one loves me like you do.” “Since I met you, all the gloomy days just seem to shine a little more brightly.”

I saw you in a dream- mega heatwaves vibe. “When I’m awake I can’t switch off,” “I saw you in a dream, you came to me. You were the sweetest apparition, such a pretty vision.”

Maybe you’re the reason- did someone say pining best friend who doesn’t know that they’re in love ? this song. this song right here. “I keep looking for something, even though I know that it’s not there. Maybe you’re the reason. And anytime I try to figure it out, you’re the only thing I can think about.”

The king- DREAM SMP VIBE. “You like me, well obviously, so why you tryna leave when you know that I’m the king?” “Other lovers give you no luck, cuz I’m the only one who’s made you fall in love.” “Playing with your heart cuz you gave me the throne.”

Sweet- an adorable song truly that actually fits them so well. “Watching the, video that you sent me- you know that I’m obsessed with your body, but it’s the way you smile that does it for me.” “It’s so sweet, knowing that you love me.”

Apocalypse- um okay here me out, apocalypse au?? yeah i know it’s cute as shit you’re welcome. “Your lips my lips, apocalypse.” “When you’re all alone, I will reach for you, when you’re feeling low, I will be there too.”

Fear of the Water- don’t come for me this ones kinda sad, beautiful song though. “If this was meant for me why does it hurt so much, and if you’re not made for me why did we fall in love?”

Dreaming of you- two words, heat. waves. but also yeah good song for them in general. “Want you all the time, and now I’m dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming of you.”

Wires- uhhhhh dream smp vibe, dream villain arc n all . “If he said help me kill the president, id say he needs medicine.” “He said that I should take it in, listen to every word he’s speaking.”

Midnight love- it’s girl in love so, you already know how it issss. “I know I don’t want to, be the one that you run to, when you’ve got nowhere else to go, when you need some love.” “I always give in to give you it all.” “I can’t be your midnight love, when your silver is my gold.”

The beach- SUCH A HEATWAVES SONG JUST LISTEN. “I feel it burning me, I feel it burning you.” “I think I can see the beach, I know what’s underneath. I need you here with me,”

Cherry flavored- the neighborhood just.. they have a dnf vibe. “Cherry flavored conversations with you got me hanging on. Down to earth from all the waiting. Take me somewhere beyond.”

Pretty boy- geogre is a pretty boy. point blank period. “Even if my heart stops beating, you’re the only thing I need with me.” “Pretty boy, you did this with me boy.” “As long as I got you, I’m gonna be alright.”

Bad idea- girl in reddd... but like imagine them casually hooking up and not knowing their in love tho. also I feel like they would definitely think that their relationship is a “bad idea” bc they’re stupid. “It was a bad idea, to think I could stop, was such a bad idea, I can’t get enough.” “Darling your so pretty it hurts.”

Line without a hook- ICONIC!! dream definitely does not think that he deserves george. “You can hold my hand if no ones home.” “All my emotions feel like explosions when you are around” “Oh baby I am a wreck without you.” “She’s a, she’s a lady, and I am just a boy. She’s a, she’s a lady, and I am just a line without a hook.”

Say you hate me- mega dream smp vibes as of recently. with the whole removing geogre as king. “I guess that your friends where right, from the start when they thought that I was a bad guy.” “Can you just say that you hate me? Or that you will never love me?” “Never meant to make you leave, never meant to make you cry.”

Cherry bomb- reminds me of how dream cheated on fundy with geogre. “I’m too close to crushing, and I’m too close for comfort I’m rushing.” “I ask how shes so mellow, she tells me her shades are in yellow.”

This side of paradise- I mean, like, kinda heatwaves vibes, but also just them. “Ask me why my hearts inside my throat. I’ve never been in love I’ve been alone.” “If you’re lonley come be lonley with me.”

Linger- geogre literally has that boy wrapped around his finger and I can’t not see it in this song. But when you look into it HELLA dream smp vibes, lyrics can be switched for either perspective here. “You know I’m such a fool for you, you got me wrapped around your finger.” “I thought the world of you, I thought nothing could go wrong, but I was wrong,”

august- i don’t know what is but this song is for them. it just is. “To live for the hope of it all. Cancel plans just in case you'd call” “So much for summer love, and saying “Us” Cause you weren't mine to lose”

I was an island- i just love the idea of them being hardasses and not thinking they need anyone until the other comes into their life and rocks their world. kinda dream smp vibes “I was a fighter, and I was so brave, but I lowered my sword when you held me and swore you’d stay.” “I was a wolf, dear, apart from the pac But you answered my cries in the dead of the night and told me that you had my back,”

Golden- k this one feeds into the “you’re literally the sun in my sky I’m not worthy” feel “I know you were way too bright for me I'm hopeless, broken” “I know that you're scared Because hearts get broken” “I can feel you take control Of who I am and all I've ever known Loving you's the antidote”

Strong- ummm okay but the “we’re better together” dynamic is them “I’m sorry if I say I need ya, but I don’t care I’m not scared of love.” “when I’m not with you I’m weaker is that so wrong? Is it so wrong, that you make me strong.”

Fly out west- the whole, I need to see you, you’re all I think about, stuff gets me. also heatwaves vibe. “Well tell me do you know? You’re all I dream about. Take it from me I’m too dumb to recognize your doubt.”

Cruel summer- them and summer, you dig? “I don’t wanna keep secrets just to keep you.” “I love you and that the worst thing you ever heard?”

Nothings gonna hurt you baby- I put this one on here because of how protective dream is over geogre “Nothing’s gonna hurt you baby, as long as your with me you’ll be just fine. Nothings gonna hurt you baby, nothings gonna take you from my side.”

Cardigan- young love, the kind of lover that makes you feel like you are the most important thing in the world to them “when you are young they assume you know nothing, but I knew you-“ “and when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone’s bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite.”

Cry baby- them being in that weird stage where they recognize that it might be more than just senseless flirting and they might have feelings but also being paranoid that they’re the only one with feelings uh- “I can taste it my hearts breaking, please don’t say it. That you know, when you know.” “I know I’ll fall in love with you baby, but that’s not what I wanna do baby.”

Speak now- literally the fundy dream wedding. i rest my case. “I hear the preacher say speak no or forever hold your peace.” “Dont say yes runaway now.”

I love you so- this song is cute on the surface but kinda sad once you look into it. it’s kinda about a codependent love that isn’t going well. “I gotta get away and let you go I gotta get over, but I love you so.” “You were cool and I’m a fool so please let me go.”

In conclusion I’d really appreciate if you could check it out :) <3

Trying all the little local restaurants

Also stopping at stands that sell pineapple and coconut, and making a meal out of it lol

Yeonjun trying to impress you by surfing/boogie boarding and totally failing and accidentally hurting himself from the string waves

Kissing and hugging everywhere and at all times, just can’t get enough of each other 🥺

Taehyun

Y’all are going to Korea!

I know he’s from here but hear me out-

✨Staycation✨

He’s showing you his favorite places!!! Restaurants, scenery, stores, everything

You’d visit the colosseum, obviously lots of restaurants, museums

Kai never stops looking at you though

He’s so happy to be there with his favorite person 🥺

You rent a scooter / motor bike and share it, which is probably a bad idea but still fun nonetheless

*✭˚·ﾟ✧*·ﾟ*✭˚·ﾟ✧*·ﾟ* PART III. Is This It?

Your eyes fluttered open to the street light coming into the room, shadows towering over you as they spread across the ceiling. You wanted to believe everything that happened in these few hours was a dream and you were laying in your bed from the night before; a freak Friday moment. But, when you turned your head, Tom was on his side and facing your way. 

His features seemed softer while he dozed, suddenly feeling his arm that was underneath your neck to wrap around your back. You grazed your fingers along with his tattooed shoulder, then trailed them to his face and raking them through his fluffy, disheveled curls.

You weren’t going to deny that the night was memorable, something you didn’t want to forget, and Tom was everything you could want. But, there was an awful feeling in the pit of your stomach. You weren’t sure if it was guilt of being a hypocrite or if this really was more than you thought it was. 

Carefully moving away from him, you placed his arm down on the bed before grabbing any piece of clothing on the floor. When you held it up toward your face, it was Tom’s shirt. The one he had wore all night, remembering how the silver chain peeked by his neck. Earlier, when you peeled it over his head, you weren’t expecting how tattooed his body was.

You tossed the shirt to the side, not trying to reminisce on the night and quickly getting on your knees to find your clothes. The only light helping you was the streetlight outside, but other than that, you could only feel for them without turning on a light.

As you quickly put on your pants and shirt, you continued sneaking around the bed to find your phone. Throughout making out and getting thrown on the bed, you weren’t sure where it could be when trying to think back to an exact moment.

“Shit…” You trailed under your breath, tucking your hair behind your ear as you looked around the apartment.

Just as you reached to unfold the duvet, Tom rolled over on his back. With a bit of a headache, he licked his lips and ran his hands down his face. He felt overtired, like he always had after taking a short nap, but his light sleeping got the best of him– and you.

“Hey…” He groaned, not seeing your look of shock with widen eyes.

“Hey… Sorry, I didn’t want to wake you.” You gulped.

You slowly sat on the bed, glancing over at him and his toned body. He pushed himself out of bed, his hands pressing into the mattress and you saw the scratch marks you left against the skin of his obliques. 

“You’re leaving?” He asked, hoping he didn’t sound clingy. He thought there was more to this than just a one night stand.

“It’s not that…” You trailed, “I wasn’t gonna just up and leave.” You lied, not wanting to tell him how you really felt about yourself rather than the night itself.

Tom patiently waited for you to say something, but you seemed flustered and nervous. He obviously couldn’t read your mind, but he was fearing the words he was already thinking. Fearing of being deemed clingy again by someone who he fell a bit too hard for in a short amount of time, he continued to doubt as you kept stumbling over your words. 

All you could utter was, “This isn’t me, I don’t… I don’t do-”

“You don’t do what?” He asked in a flustered tone, but still deep.

“I don’t do this. I don’t just hop on some guy’s bike then end up in his bed and-and then I need to find some way to get home now. I just shouldn’t have-”

You could feel your heart breaking as you said it, wondering if you said it just to keep some kind of wall up to maintain your own pride.

Tom furrowed his eyebrows and retorted, “Woah, woah, wait. What is that supposed to mean?”

It was an asshole comment to say out loud, but you didn’t mean it the way he’s thinking it. But, it was more than understandable if this was coming out of the blue– you just weren’t going to admit that on the spot right now.

You closed your eyes, quickly turning your attention to him, “I didn’t mean like… I don’t…”

A million words flooded your head, but nothing left your lips. Too shy of admitting out loud that you liked being with Tom as much as he enjoyed being with you. But, out of all the reasons to tell him, there was that one small thought of “You’re in over your head, Y/N.”

Tears brimmed your eyes, feeling heat rush to your face out of the frustration building up along with the anxiety stressing every part of your body. It was like your worst nightmare insued, having a breakdown in front of a guy you really like and now this would be something else for him to judge as to whether or not you might be crazy.

“Y/N?” He asked, suddenly worried as you kept looking down.

You couldn’t look him in the eyes because of how painful it was to even tell him you didn’t feel the same. It was lying to his face, just to downplay how you were feeling.

“Hey, hey. Look at me.” Tom’s calm tone made you look up, sniffling as your tears dropped off your chin. He could tell the distress you were in, not knowing what you say because you were so choked up.

His fingers were beneath your chin as he glanced down at you, your eyes a bit squinted and your nose scrunching as you continued to lightly sob. You were practically shaking and he felt that as you placed your hands on his torso, a stuttering sniffle coming from you once more.

“Shh, it’s gonna be okay.” Tom reassured, keeping eye contact with you, “Take a deep breath.” He nodded.

It was hard to take that first breath, but you felt the cool air enter then pursing your lips to exhale. You both did it a few times together, not realizing how relaxing breathing could be, but there was a sudden fatigue that came down from having an anxiety attack. You held him closer by his waist, making sure this moment was real and that it wasn’t come dream you were going through if you had passed out.

Tom could feel the warmness of your cheek against his chest as he held you close to him. He wasn’t trying to squeeze you, but he could tell that there was more to this reaction than this entire night. You were hurt and this was your defense mechanism: pushing people away before they pushed you first.

“If someone is going to get their heart broken, it’ll be me…” He trailed, those words faint to your ears.

You weren’t sure what it meant, not wanting to question it, but Tom went well. He just knew that whatever happened between you from this point on, there was a good chance that he just wants to know what loving you is like and he was more than ready to take on any day.

He kissed the top of your head, “Do you wanna go back to bed? We can just talk about this in the morning, if you still want to…”

You nodded, pulling away from him and glancing back into his eyes. Even though you could barely see his body, you saw the shimmer of the moonlight against his brown orbs. As you ran your hands down the tattoos along his chest, you sat back into the soft mattress and crawled back under the covers.

Tom moved next to you, then slowly and carefully wrapped his arms around you once again. Although there was just a pause to the argument, you know that you wanted to talk about it without feeling like you’re on the spot. Just from Tom understanding that your breakdown was in no way a form of diverting or excusing yourself, he also assumed you were exhausted from the fast-paced night and the sex that lead after it. But, neither of you regret that one bit. 

Your face nuzzled the crook of his neck as you embraced him, holding him tight as you hoped for the morning to come and you’d still be in his arms.

*✭˚·ﾟ✧*·ﾟ*✭˚·ﾟ✧*·ﾟ*

Ironically, the sound of chirping birds woke you up from your deep slumber. Your eyes were heavy and dry, instantly rubbing the side of your hand against each before sitting up in bed. You come to realize that Tom wasn’t there, and it left a bit of an ache in your chest. It was his place though, so did he just leave once he realized what happened last night?

You bit the side of your index finger’s nail, trying to remember what you said word for word. Even though you still sat in his bed, you weren’t sure if you should leave to and act like this night ever happened. 

Just from the thought of the embarrassment you could face made you quickly get out of his bed, finally seeing your scattered clothes in the daylight. As you slipped on your pants and grabbed your shirt, you scrambled to find your shoes at the same time before the deadbolt on the door unlocked.

Freezing, you were prepared for the worst case scenario– as optimistic as that sounded. But, Tom walked through the door, holding two brown bags in his arms. There was an instant aroma of fresh baked bread, and you were thrown off (to say the least).

“Hey, I hope you weren’t leaving just yet.” He jeered, and you took a breath of relief.

“Well, I thought I scared you off… honestly.” You trailed, trying to relax with the heat risen to your face already.

He smiled, “No, I actually got us some breakfast.” Tom grinned as he walked past you to go to his kitchen table.

You furrowed your eyebrow, thinking this was still a dream, but you turned around and he set one of the brown bags on the table.

“I got bagels, muffins… as many as you can think since I wasn’t sure what you liked or allergies. We didn’t really get to that last night.” He smirked, taking out a blueberry muffin for himself.

Chuckling, you walked over, placing your shoes by the chair and glanced into one of the bags. You couldn’t tell what was what, but there was a large assortment– but it was a bit cute that he didn’t just go for plain bagels or a basic banana walnut muffin.

“And then I got some apple juice, orange juice… but, I’ll judge you a bit if you wanted tomato.” He continued, setting a small bottle of orange juice next to the bag.

You sealed your lips, “Are these gluten free?... or you know, we’re made in an area where they were absolutely not touching animal products?” You asked, tilting your head a bit.

Tom paused mid-way through his bite, “...Why?” He asked with innocent.

“It’s just… I’m allergic to a lot and I can’t eat any of this.” You pouted, sighing as you gazed at the bags.

At first, Tom was going to offer any alternative before you giggled in a fit.

“I’m fucking with you… Can I have an everything bagel and apple juice, please?” You asked, smiling big and cheesy.

Tom chuckled, instantly relieved before getting what you asked. You walked over to him, kissing his cheek as he gave you your bagel then turned around to get butter out of his fridge. He was low on– well a lot– but at least there was half a stick of butter that looked decent with a half folded wrapper lazily around it.

“Hmm, maybe we can go on a grocery shopping trip. Think of it as a favor for teaching me how to ride a bike.” You joked, looking through some of the drawers for the utensils.

“The one all the way to the left, sweetheart.” Tom grinned.

You felt flustered at his small comment, but grabbed a butter knife once you got in the drawer. The two of you sat at his small, round kitchen table and you even had your legs on top of his lap as you leaned back in your chair. You weren’t going to lie that it was the best bagel you’d had in a while, but maybe, Tom being an added factor made it even more special.

As much as you two could talk about music, celebrities or movies, Tom wanted to make sure you were okay compared to what had happened last night. It could be an easy thing to brush off, but he wanted to reassure himself as to where your so-called relationship was headed.

“So, last night–” He mentioned, but already met with your head nodding.

“I wasn’t sure if you wanted to… talk about it.” You trailed, tapping your fingers against your apple juice bottle.

He nodded back, “No, I just want to make sure you’re feeling better. You don’t need to explain everything to me, but… I just want you to know that…” Tom trailed, leaning his elbows on the table and your heart was racing for the rest of his sentence.

“...I really like you. I do, and I don’t want you to think I’m stringing you along or there’s someone else. I want to make that clear.” Tom stated, dealing with those dilemmas– usually being on the receiving end of it than having to say it.

You tried to hold back your smile, but you leaned up and slowly kissed him. They weren’t words, but its all you could think of doing in that moment. He placed his hand on your cheek, just as he did last night when you were in the kitchen, and you brushed your nose against his before pulling back.

“I didn’t know if you could tell but, I like you a lot too.” You giggled, wanting to curl into a ball of embarrassment. It was sickening the overwhelming feeling pulling at your heart strings, constantly telling you that Tom is the one and you want that to be right so badly.

“Well, I wouldn’t want to consider last night our first date so, can I take you out today? Something that doesn't require a lesson and crediting the instructor?” 

God, He was incredibly cheeky. Not that you didn’t like it.

“Hmm, that sounds interesting. Is this another spontaneous night were going on?” You raised your eyebrows, seeming to know how to match his humor.

“Not spontaneous, but maybe by the water.” He suggested, already making you question what he had in mind within the past thirty seconds of joking.

You sighed, “Okay, now I can’t tell if you’re being serious. You’re not gonna take me to some underwater bar, right?” You asked, getting up from your seat and sitting right on his lap.

As you crossed one leg over the other, Tom put his arm around your back and hissed through his teeth, “I was thinking something more local. It’s supposed to actually be nice today, and I don’t think my paycheck covers underwater cafes.”

Pushing your brows together in confusion, you asked, “You have a job?”

He chuckled, “Did I not mention that?”

You sighed, “Well between the party and then coming here, I’m pretty sure we only know each other’s names, if I’m honest.”

“I know about your bike story and not trusting your mom. That counts as something, right?” He joked, but you rolled your eyes.

“Bet you don’t know my favorite color.” You persisted.

He twisted his lips, as if his eyes were scanning something inside your brain inorder to say the right answer.

“You strike me as a… gray lover.”

“Not even close.” You scrunched your nose.

Just as you were going to test him through the entire color system, your phone vibrated on the night stand. You knew you seemed to disappear last night, so you wanted to make sure there wasn’t some kind of alarm. 

As Tom cleaned up the table, you saw a notification from Sloane. It was a text, and after scanning your face, it read “You make it home okay? Or you were swept up?” She ended with an eye emoji.

You giggled, glancing over at Tom putting his dish in the sink.

“I’m okay.” You grinned as you typed it, “Hope you had fun too.” You typed and then a heart emoji. You didn’t want to completely disclose the whole story, as you were still under the impression that this was a dream.

*✭˚·ﾟ✧*·ﾟ*✭˚·ﾟ✧*·ﾟ*

Riding on Tom’s bike was much less scary in the middle of the day. Not only was everyone in plain sight, but you had also gotten used to the feeling of being on it in the first place. Those butterflies went away and it was more of an adrenaline as you sped past cars, and not feeling like you were going to fall off every time Tom made a slight turn. Maybe, it had something to do with trusting him more, but you were still on the fence about that.

Somehow, you and Tom spent everyday together since that night. You packed enough clothes in your bag to spend nights with him, as well as borrowing Tom’s when you lounged around his apartment. It was like a small world where you didn’t worry about what anyone else thought for once in your life.

A small routine built over the time, like getting up, which side of the bed you preferred or even how you enjoyed your tea in the morning. Lunches and dinners were prepared from the groceries you bought in the beginning of the week and there were TV shows and movies you wouldn’t have thought of watching if Tom was so convincing about their plots (as he watched your favorite reality shows that he suddenly formed high opinions on).

Of course, the incredible sex was the cherry on top of this spontaneous fling. You weren’t sure if it was purely from being adventurous, but there wasn’t a place in his apartment where you didn’t have sex by that point. The both of you didn’t know how wrapped up about one another you could be that it would happen naturally, and not rushed or forced.

Everything was a little too perfect. So much that you had to stop yourself from asking the obvious questions as to why Tom wanted this. He thought about asking the same, but just like you, he didn’t want any chance of this ending.

Birds glided over the clouds and the spring weather was coming around the corner, already seeing color come back to the new leaves on trees and flowers were being planted around town. It was nice to go out together, not even sure if hand holding was apart of this relationship, but there was an occasion wrapping of each other's the arms.

This morning, you both found yourself feeling comfortable in Tom’s bed. The sun had just risen, and this time of the day was so peaceful knowing that it was just the start of the day for some. You tangled your legs with Tom, leaning onto him and he was sat up against the headboard.

Intertwining your fingers with Tom’s, you admired his tattoos running up his arm. You didn’t want to sound corny, but you wondered how he was able to come up with ideas for the art on his skin. Even though you could have sworn memorized the designs, there was a smaller empty spot on at the top of his forearm. There was a faded print there before, but you couldn’t make out the actual sketch.

“What was here?” You asked, softly pressing your finger on the spot.

He glanced, “Just got old.” Tom softly answered, his other arm wrapped around you, “It was one of my first too so, just wanted to cover it up or something.”

You nodded, “Have you thought about getting something over it?”

“Kind of. I’m not really sure what I’d get though…” Tom trailed, “Do you have any ideas?”

As you hummed, thinking about some ideas, “It should be something simple, but also means something to you.”

“Like what?” He smiled as your hand moved from his arm and down his bare chest and abdomen.

“I don’t know.” You giggled, grazing your nails by his obliques before you said, “What about your favorite animal?”

“Already have that.” He pointed at the tiger in one spot.

“Hmm, then what about something by one of your favorite artists?”

“Right here, babe.” Tom pointed at his left shoulder.

You scoffed, “Then maybe get my face tattooed.” You jokingly gave up, glancing up at him.

Tom smiled back at you, tucking your hair behind your ear, “Why don’t we compromise…”

“Like how?”

“Like you picking out my tattoo and I’ll pick out a tattoo for you.”

At first, you thought his suggestion was a joke, but there was the long pause that made you realize he was being serious. 

“No! What?” You chuckled, “I can’t get a… tattoo.”

He shrugged, “Why not?”

“Because it doesn’t match me. That’s the good thing about us. You have all the tattoos and I don’t.”

Tom furrowed his eyebrows at you, and you rolled your eyes, “Okay, I know that didn’t make sense, but I’m not going to admit I’m too chicken.”

He half-smiled before kissing your temple, “Do you want to do it?”

You thought about it, but you trusted him and it was something you had been wanting to do for a while. Having Tom in your life made you more optimistic– not about your life, but about how love works and how beautiful it could be.

“Yeah, I do… and I honestly feel the most safe doing it with you.” You admitted, wanting to hide your face away for him not to see you smitten.

Tom chuckled, “Do you trust me picking out your first tattoo?” 

You grinned, “Well, you seem to have good taste and I think I assume you wouldn’t have your face tattooed on my forehead.”

Tom rolled his eyes, “No, but I’d definitely get it tattooed on your neck.” He jeered, then left a trail of kisses up your neck then against your ear.

Just like you told Sloane, you really were okay. More than okay. More than ever.

OKAY IT'S SKZ TIME JAY!!!!

I love them so much. You've got Bang Chan and his seven insane children.

Bang Chan/Chris Bang: leader. Born in Seoul but raised in Sydney, Australia. In skz itself, he's a vocalist and composer/producer, but he's also part of 3racha, a rap/production team he was in predebut with Changbin and Jisung. Songs for Chan...god, he's amazing in all of them. I can't pick one. Lol.

Lee Know (Lee Minho): Dance leader. Pretends he has zero heart but actually is all heart. Devoted cat dad to his babies soonie, doongie, and dori. Lino actually used to be a backup dancer for BTS during Fire era! Case 143 is their newest title track and he's got some really beautiful parts in it.

Changbin (Seo Changbin): the definition of "looks like he could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll." Man is buff as hell and basically lives at the gym, but he's a squishy little aegyo king. He was called the "dark rapper" but idk man. He's the cutest little bean. He's also in 3racha. His song Streetlight is really underrated but gives you a really good sense of his skills.

Hyunjin (Hwang Hyunjin): a dancer and rapper, Hyunjin's dance style reminds me a lot of Jimin. Check out his Play With Fire dance cover, it's amazing. Hyunjin is possibly the most dramatic little shit on the planet, but we wouldn't have him any other way. He's also an incredible painter.

Han (Han Jisung): Han was born in Korea but spent a lot of time in Malaysia as a kid, and his English is excellent. He's a brilliant writer and does a lot of the lyrical work with 3racha. Wish You Back is an incredible song he did that's said to be based off the anime You Name. He's been open about his mental health struggles and had to take some time off in 2019 due to severe social anxiety, but he's doing a lot better these days. He's an introvert and a nerd and I love him.

Felix (Felix Lee/Lee Yongbok): Our sunshine! Felix is also Australian, born and raised in Sydney to Korean parents. He's very sweet and sensitive (usually the first to cry during ending ments 🥺) and his voice WILL throw you for a loop. It doesn't match his face at all. 😂 If you watch God's Menu, you'll know what I mean. A rapper and our resident tiktok king, Lix is always trying to cheer up Stay.

Seungmin (Kim Seungmin): You want sass? Seungmin has the sass for you. He loves the guys, but if there's an opening to roast, he'll be the first one to jump in - especially Chan. 😂😂😂 Seungmin is the lead vocalist and has the voice of an angel - watch the cover of Love Song by IU that he did on Kingdom with BtoB's Eunkwang and ateez's Jongho!

I.n (Yang Jeongin): our maknae, our baby, the love of everyone's life. Innie has maknae privilege oozing out of every pore in his body and he makes full use of it. He's probably the least outwardly affectionate of the guys and is constantly trying to fight off their attempts at skinship - especially Han and Felix. He really does love them though. For a good giggle, watch his song Maknae on Top that he did with Chan and Changbin.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2HLJ87twWI2G7OkCCQfOI6Dr-02JBbMN

This playlist is for Song Camp: Howl in Harmony, which is a 6-episode miniseries skz did where they worked on their unit songs for their Noeasy album. You can see a lot of their interactions here which is nice. For incredible group performances, I recommend their cover of Pray (I'll Be Your Man) from Kingdom as well as their song Wolfgang. The Kingdom performance of that is incredible, but I recommend watching another one as well or instead as Hyunjin couldn't participate in Kingdom and having him missing really does suck.

Okay novel over but seriously I will yell about these men anytime 😅

😬 oh no

imma bout to feel real bad making them not good guys in eot 😬😬😬

OH MY GOD THEYRE ADORABLE

So many of them have such squishy cheeks oh my word I wanna squishhhhh

Felix is the one with the super deep voice right? At the beginning of Maniac?

Upon initial impressions I think Lino is the cutest, but that may change over time and as I see them perform and with different hairstyles and colors

THIS IS AMAZING BABE THANK YOU SO MUCH 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[joshuas]

henlo <3 may i ask for your thoughts on barista joshua 🥺?

hiii thank you so much for coming!! barista!josh is such a cute concept ily for sending me this :(

sleepover night (400 followers event)! let’s talk about your faves!

☆ literally the cliche new barista at the campus cafe - kind, friendly, handsome, you name it.

☆ he has one of those smiles (yk his crescent eye smile :(( ) that makes your heart skip a beat </3

☆ he greets customers with that smile, he gets tips instantaneously

☆ the type of barista to offer his least favourite drink on the menu to people he dislikes but not have the guts to tell them that their order sucks </3

☆ he wears those white button-ups with the sleeves rolled up, jeins on full display (i'm ILL don't mind me)

☆ he's probably a massive flirt too

☆ the moment he sees you, his flirty resolve probably becomes a nervous mess, though <3

☆ he's literally stumbling over his words, meanwhile you, the sleep deprived student are trying to get your caffeine fix before class and are this close to snapping bc you don't have time for this </3

☆ and when he notices your slight annoyance he starts apologising </3 and you're just like it's okay!! and grab your coffee and head out, ignoring the butterflies in your stomach

☆ he probably does that cliche thing and writes his number on your coffee cup saying he'd like to apologise for being so not suave that morning and pay for your coffee the next morning alksfksfd he's a walking cliche don't mind me </3

☆ and who are you to turn down free coffee

☆ probably has a side gig (besides being a vet school student - he works at the cafe to pay for that tuition) of being in a band

☆ when the cafe hosts their karaoke nights, they always perform, literally showing up any other act

☆ and maybe one night one of your friends drag you to that and you see him like ??? that's the guy that messed around with your coffee??? turns out serving coffee is his only vice, everything else INCLUDING singing, he's good at. unfair </3

☆ he's just a multi-talented kinda cliche dude and honestly valid for not being able to deal with that fact </3

"so is sunday morning the only song you know?" you approached the counter, mind still reeling over last night's concert where joshua randomly surprised you with the fact that he can sing?

"huh?" joshua looked up wide-eyed as you reached the counter he was wiping down.

"your bandmates all groaned when it was your turn for karaoke. something about you singing it too much? jeonghan told me that if the words 'sunday morning' aren't your kid's first words, then his entire world will mean nothing... which seems like an exaggeration. also! you always hum the tune to it when you make my coffees in the morning." you explained.

"well, i just don't see how it matters?" joshua stopped cleaning, staring at you confusedly.

"of course it matters! do you really want to doom your children to a life of listening to sunday morning?"

"sunday morning isn't a bad song!" he defended.

you held your hand up, "i was so distressed by this fact that i took the liberty to make you a playlist myself. these are all the songs i'm currently obsessed with and i think would suit your voice quite well." you held up your phone, quickly texting the link to him.

"17 by pink sweat$? there are an awful lot of ballads here." he raised an eyebrow, smirking.

"i- i just think you could sing them well." you stuttered, avoiding his gaze as your cheeks heated up.

"okay well, expect to be serenaded with one of these songs soon, sunday morning anti." he chuckled, setting up the coffee machine to make your usual.

"sunday morning anti... oh my god."

I know you previously mentioned that Lo and Posie are pretty close. Can you please write something about them having a girls day together?

Lo and Posie 🥺 there really is only a few years difference between the two, only seven years, and Lo really took to Posie. Taught her to ice skate, they love cookie together, Lo got her into a bit of the gaming she's into, and even just going and getting pampered together. Lo becomes one of Posie's go to's, along with Aunt Arleigh.  Just for fun, we’re going to say this is Posie’s senior year, making Lo 24 and Posie 17.

Posie Rogers Masterlist

You point over to the eggs, not stopping what your doing, just continuing to listen to the teenage Posie.  Since joining the family a couple years ago, you had become her buddy.  Her personality a bit too meek for Lucy, even though she wasn’t that much older than her.  You being the same age as Lucy, and closer to Posie’s own light hearted bubbly personality, it fit.

His sisters could be a bit intimidating in so many ways, especially Lucy.  All of them so sure with themselves.  Older, much more experienced, and even though they always included you, you felt most comfortable with the oldest of the grandchildren.

Letting her choose the playlist for the day, and no surprise its classic seventies rock.  Arleigh had got her into listening to that decade of music.  Even teaching her how to play on a guitar.  She pops a chocolate piece into her mouth and finishes chopping the bar up.

“So?” she looks over at you with a quirky smile before returning back to the chocolate.  “Blade and James said there was some boy at your game?” she gives you a little shrug, and adds the vanilla to the batter.

“Who is he?”

“Just some boy.”

Her voice sings along to the song, ignoring your question.  “Is he cute.”?

“He’s hot,” she clears her throat, and adds in the flour mixture to the mixing bowl.  “I mean, he’s um...okay.”

“He goes to every game?” 

“Just the home ones.  Lo, he’s so cute,” her body turns to face you, and she flops in one of the barstools,  “I met him my freshman year, and he’s coming to the games with his friend just to see me,” you give her a slow nod, and move away to take over.  Knowing that she talks more when she’s sitting and thinking.  “I know he’s older, dad is acting like Papa did with mom.  Jax is just rough around the edges.”

“A bad boy?” she shrugs.  “How bad?”

“He drives a Harley.  Him and his friend have an apartment together.  But he’s really nice.  We had one class together, he wasn’t an ass or didn’t talk out of turn.  He was respectful to the teacher, and he’s smart.  He’s just, you know, rough around the edges.  Doesn’t matter.  Dad won’t let him get near me with a ten foot pole.  He’s determined to keep me his little girl forever, but I’ve only got a couple months left of school.  He’s not bothered by the age gap between you and Blade or Story and Carter.  Story is like his little sister, and I don’t even know if this guy likes me.”

You giggle at her rambles.  She’s failed to mention that she is James’ first daughter.  A huge age gap between her and her siblings, so she was his baby for a long time.  “Story and me aren’t his daughters.  And from my understanding, he wasn’t the biggest fan of Story and Carter, even threatened his best friend.  But you,” you singsong to her, petting your hand on her head, “You’re the baby.  The first grandchild.  I’m sure Pop Pop, Pappy, and Papa would have a lot to say about him too.”

“Don’t remind me.  Mimi said he was cute, mom, too.  I don’t even know if he likes me.  Propably doesn’t so it won’t matter anyways,” Posie turns off the mixture, and you watch her defeatedly start scooping out the dough the way that her Nana had taught her.  

“Why else would he be coming to the ballgame if it wasn’t to see you pretty in your cheer uniform?” Posie doesn’t respond, clearly getting in her head about the whole situation.  “If he’s not coming just to look at you, he’s stupid.  You’re beautiful, darling even.  You’re smart, funny, talented, and Nana taught you how to cook.”

“She did.”

“No man can resist,” you take a small piece of the dough, and pop it in your mouth.  “Nana’s chocolate chip cookies.  Why don’t we make this batch for him.  You know where him and this friend live?  If not, I can trick Blade or JJ into finding him.”

“I know where he lives.”

“Okay, this is going to be for this cute boy that keeps coming to your games.  So we better make something else for Bladey or when he gets home with my beautiful little Squishy girl, he’s not going to be happy.”

Hello! Im just a reader of yours! I was wondering who are your favorite guys across the Ikemen games! Thxs for writing 🥰

Oh my god, thank YOU for the lovely question! A very difficult one, actually!

I'll put it under the cut because I have a feeling I might get lost in thoughts here!😅💗 For anyone who doesn't feel like reading, just scroll down to see a tier list of my top 20.

---- For Ikevamp as well as my overall fave, I think it's clear who is it... Napoleon is veeery ahead of everyone else to the point where stating who my number 2 is, is impossible - just because, it means he will be directly after Napoleon 😬😬 Very unfair! But alas, monsieur de wahaha is something else. He's proven himself as a fave over and over again and now he is deeply entangled into everything I do - and I wouldn't have it any other way! This post is not about him so I won't go on but I definitely can. I just love him! A lot!

The rest of the Ikevamp guys are all on the same level, with Theo, Sebas and Leonardo a little higher. Arthur is not my type personally however he is somewhat of a muse to me as ever since 2019 writing him always comes easy! I might have a playlist or two for him.

---- For IkeRev, I feel maybe the most attached to the characters there as a whole. I always think of Ray as my overall fave here, he is everything I love about in a character put together.

Then we have Fenrir, whom I think the most about! Like the stray daydreaming of - would Fenrir sing in the shower, would Fenrir love this, would Fenrir do that - not to talk about how everytime I see a video of someone doing some silly crazy stuff and me and my best friend always go "oh it's fenrir". He is also the one I have the most playlists about and I'm always on the hunt for more songs. He just has a strong presence that fits in in many things I do!

Then we have Seth, whom in the past year I've been veeery down bad for 😳😳 He climbed up my favorites ladder and I view him as a comfort character! He is the one I strive the most about getting cards and stories in-game. I can reread his route over and over again just to see more of him! I can't get enough of Sethie 🥺🥺 Let's say there is a story event (like the one right now), I would play in this order: Seth -> Fenrir -> Ray

---- For IkePri, I'm sure I haven't seen enough of the game to form any lasting opinions as I still feel like I don't know everyone all that well. Leon is without a doubt my number one here, I've been so eager for the game to come out just because of him. I saw him on that character preview in April 2020 and I instantly knew he was the one. And not just because of my poster boy syndrome, I love all the things he is unique for, just a very warm feeling coming from him which I appreciate in a character.

Despite that I catch myself thinking more about Jin in the past few months - I don't know what's about him, but I even requested one of my writer friends, @chaosangel767 a story about him and I only do that for Napoleon. So it has to mean something. For maybe every one of the rest I've had these small periods of hyperfixating about, Ikepri characters are just so lovable for their complexly constructed personalities. And their looks. 🤭

---- Next up, IkeSen... I'm just wondering who my next mistake will be and the chances of it being an Ikesen character is huge. I have so much yet to explore about the charas here! I've only played three routes, none of which is Nobunaga, but he is at the very top of my list. Almost frustrating to say this! I swear it has nothing about the fact that he is yet another poster boy, after all he really is different from the rest of them. I feel like if I read his route, I'll get too much in love with him. So I play this game with myself where I see how many routes I can read before I absolutely must go for his.

---- And lastly, MidCin. I left it for the end because it's the one I'm most unsure about. Am I going to say Alyn? Probably. All the media I've consumed across the years and when I hear knight I still think about him first. King Byron, I could easily spend the rest of my life with. Nico is veeeery special to me as he is the one character I was very unprepared to fall for. I felt less than neutral about him at first and by the time I was halfway into his route I viewed him as maybe the one most similar to me. His love story with MC is just beautiful.

Then we have...this... gestures to Leo... I spent money this past January 23th. For Leo Crawford birthday story. My whole midcin avatar is decorated with his items! I have the eyes that wink and a little heart pops up with the letter L in it. I have the banner, the both routes special stuff, the pet, the bedroom, everything. I'm all about his personality and I miss him maybe the most...

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

Phew, and that's it. As you can see I'm so, so, so inlove with a lot of characters across the ikemen games I can barely contain my love for them! It often doesn't translate all the way into my writing, so I can have many works for a character I feel pretty neutral about and vice versa. I used this ask to talk a little more about them instead of just listing them down because it would make sense why I rarely mention some of them. My love for these characters really just comes from my experiences with them - while reading their routes, or the concepts that I come up with for them. Despite being a writer I'm terrible at explaining what I like about a certain thing, for sure I love Napoleon for his personality traits but I'd rather put attention on what emotions he makes me experience - and that goes for the rest of them as well. I focus on what characters get my thoughts and emotions going and bond with them through that. I hope that makes sense! I'm sorry if I bored you anon, I used your ask to make clear of all of this because I really haven't figured out my faves until now, haha! I had fun with this ask! Thanks once again for it! 💗💗💗💓💓💓

----

Here is all of this put together, or at least my top 20, according to the character sorter that you can find here. Ahhh this feels really unfair to some, I really like everyone :((
