Hello!

Do you have any favorite Japanese music? (or games bgm......)

Sorry, I'm using a translator so my text may be strange...（ ; ; ）

Yes I do ^_^ I am actually very well versed in a lot of Japanese music (mostly pre-2000s stuff though)! The folk-rock movement from the late 60s in particular, I really love. I have a special interest in the group of musicians who formed Happy End (in 1969), and all of their future collaborations & collaborators... (most notably Yellow Magic Orchestra). Also from Happy End, I love everything Haruomi Hosono has done- his solo work is so so so good. I could talk about his work FOREVER I love it, and every collaboration or band he's been in. He really is a musical pioneer & a genius... I love this live performance from him so much. I could talk about Hosono's work for hours!!!!!!! I love all of the genres he has explored. I even put Happy End's Kazemachi Roman album cover in Be Kind, My Neighbor...

I also really really like Shintaro Sakamoto's work (& his work in Yura Yura Teikoku), it has a similar vibe as the previous work I mentioned, but more psychedelic.

I also LOVE the group TAMA. They are so unforgettably unique, I absolutely love everything about them. I wish if my art style were to be translated into sound, for it to sound like them...

Some other Japanese music I love: -Tatsuro Yamashita -Masayoshi Takanaka -HOFF DYLAN -Denki Groove -Eiichi Ohtaki -QUEEN BEE (very contemporary compared to everything else I listed lol)

I COULD KEEP GOING... but I don't want this to be a 40-foot long post hahaha. Thank you for asking, it's fun to gush about stuff I love :) EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION GEZAN. KLUE is one of my favorite albums of all time it will make you shit your pants

[smutoperator]

to you, who are the anal queens of kpop ?

Great question, this one differs a bit from the top asses list but I'll start with a girl that made both lists. In the 3rd generation, the top anal queen has to be Momo. Since debut she emanates that slutty energy of a girl who loves to take it in the ass.

To show how a big ass isn't a requirement to be one, I think Jennie is definitely up there as a huge anal slut too.

Finally, among 3rd gen girls, my top 5 is completed with Seungyeon, Joy and Eunha. Three girls with nice asses that also love to take up their butts.

Going back to 2nd gen, there are lot of options, but I think the top 2 is easy too: HyunA (even though she's trashy these days) and Hani.

Rounding up the top 5 we've got Hyomin, Soyou and Choa. HMs go to Tiffany, Yura, Sunmi, Bora and Hyejeong.

Among 4th gen girls the only three I'd consider anal queens are Soyeon, Sakura and Ryujin. Others may join her in the future as they gain experience, I think the best bets are probably Giselle, Chaewon and Julie. Among them, Soyeon is the #1 for sure, she doesn't have a fat ass at all but is just a massive anal freak.

Also from what I said it's clear one company is the anal queen factory: Cube. All generations have one inside the top 5 and two have the outright number 1.

[dragon-communion]

Vague narrative and development notes for Ríastrad, my Dragon Communion Tarnished who is going through hell:

- wakes up mildly terrified because she never thought she'd actually be chosen by Grace and it's a big goddamn job. But at least she has a plan: kill things and eat dragons.

- starts off with Agheel Lake and Yura, gets pointed towards the Coastal Cave for Dragon Communion reasons.

- up until Dectus/Adula, uses Dragonclaw and Dragonmaw.

- Ruin Strewn Precipice, scalesword

- respec, uses the sword on Adula. Leaving Ekzykes and Greyll for later, Greyoll is dead though.

- freaks the FUCK out once Enia explains that she has to become Queen Marika's Consort. She's terrified of the concept of having children and doesn't want any. Gods have a lot of kids.

Motivations: survival. Power for the sake of survival. Connected to that, hunger/addiction. Unconsciously, transhuman motives. Hates being a squishy human, and as a draconian has always felt somewhat cheated by fate. Originally planned to satisfy this by becoming a Crucible Knight, but plans changed with the rise of the dragon cult in Leyndell.

Not a traditional Draconian. My headcanon is that there are a few branches that all fall under "Draconian"- one was created directly by the ancient dragons as servants, one is the bastard scions of the alliance with Leyndell, and one is the Zamor Warriors who descended from modern ice dragons.

Leyndell wanted the power of dragons at any cost. Having babies with them is certainly one way to do that, even if they tend to be more mortal. No one truly dies anymore, but the bastard scions age faster and tend to be infertile or have odd, incompatible mixes of attributes, and many are born mute or have issues talking. Godefroy and Godrick were both of this strain and descended from Fortissax, and attempted to use grafting to make up for their genetic weaknesses.

Many of the scions ended up a little too imperfect or seemed too Crucible-touched for polite company, and many of them swore into Godfrey's service, which was the most welcoming company as attitudes in Leyndell shifted from primal glory to intellect and blood purity.

Ríastrad doesn't really know who her parents are or who she's descended from. I'm tempted to say she grew up in a brothel and then harassed her way into serving as a page based on sheer moxie. She'd almost succeeded in trying out for the Crucible Knights by the time Marika decreed Godfrey's company would be banished.

She ended up eating her first dragon after sailing to distant lands with the other Tarnished. She died dishonorably, stabbed in her bed in the night by enemy soldiers.

[foxingpeculiar]

Elden Ring/SotE:

Okay, so at this point, I have cleared Leyndell, went through the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, and now I'm fucking around in the Mountaintops of the Giants--I just cleared the lions out of the entrance to Castle Sol and am about to explore it properly.

I remember saying earlier that I was finding the early game pretty smooth sailing but "we'll see how I do once I get to Mountaintops of the Giants or so." Well, I'm here and... like, it's still pretty smooth sailing? I dunno if it's just this build or what, but nothing so far is giving me that much trouble. Got Godfrey's Ghost and Morgott both in one, the underground Mogh and the Deathbird in two. I don't think *any* boss has killed me more than 3 times.* (The thing that has? Trying to get down that damn pit to the Frenzied Flame--that took like a solid 45 minutes and soooooooo many deaths). I remember the commander in Castle Sol being a huge pain in my ass last time though, so we'll see how that goes.

(*I take that back--a couple, like the Godskin Apostle in the Caelid Tower were a bit much for me when I first fought them. But I've since gone back and cleared most of them. The only one I haven't is the double Crucible Knight fight, but now that I have the Mimic Tear, I should reinvestigate that.)

I'm currently rocking INT of about 52, VIG around 44. Occasionally I throw a stat point into MND or END. I really want to get INT high enough to use Renala's Full Moon, which has a requirement of 70. I've got Moonveil upgraded as much as I can without an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone and I have yet to come across one of those. I'm still rocking the Demi-Human Queen's staff also, which is up to +20 or something--I have ostensibly "better" staves I could use at this point, but I dunno how much I really need to bother upgrading one of them enough to surpass this one. We'll see.

As far as quest progress, lemme just kinda go down the list here:

Sellen - Finished her quest; sided with her against Jerren, she is now a weird head-ball thing in Rennala's room.

Thops - Finished his quest. He dead and I looted his corpse inside the Academy.

Rogier - Finished his quest. He's also dead, and I whupped his ass during the Fia's Champion's fight.

Boc - Finally got his questline to work; turns out I had to buy all currently available pieces of legendary equipment. But once I did that, the prompt showed up to give him the gold needle, which I did, and then told him he was beautiful rather than giving him a Larval Tear. Not sure that there's any more to that quest, but I guess we'll see.

D and Fia - both quests concluded. She killed him, his brother killed her, I got her Mending Rune.

Corhyn and Goldmask - Was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to cast Regression, but hey, it has an INT requirement instead of a FTH requirement, so that's handy. Solved the riddle for Goldmask and, last I saw them, Corhyn was having an existential crisis on a bridge in the Mountaintops.

Gurranq (Maliketh) - So, I thought I aggroed him by accident cos I tested out a weapon art in his room and he started coming at me. But the Church of Vows said I was good, and when I went back to fight him, he did the thing where he chilled out after a couple of hits. So, okay. I got the Beast Claw from him and he has since fucked off.

Bernahl/Tanith/Rya - I have done all the Volcano Manor hunts so far, including Bernahl's and the Red Letter one, but I have yet to pop back to the Manor to follow up. Will probably do that after Castle Sol.

Alexander - Last saw him on Mt. Gelmir. I think he's around here in the Mountaintops somewhere, but haven't come across him again yet.

Yura - He's dead and I beat the woman that killed him. Then he got taken over by Shabriri, who's creepy AF.

Varre - Last saw him at the Rose Church in Liurnia. Not sure what he's up to--should check in on that.

Edgar/Irina - She's dead, but he wasn't by her corpse yet, last I checked. I dunno if I've progressed too far for that or what, but I'll go back and check again at some point.

Kenneth - He's doing his thing in Fort Haight. I think I have to finish Nepheli's questline before anything can happen there.

Nepheli - Gave her the thing you're supposed to give her after the Albinauric Village (not the poison, the other thing), but haven't seen her since. I think she's moved to Stormveil by now? Again, something I need to go back and check up on.

Diallos - He was in the manor, then he wasn't, now he is again. I don't think he moves to Jarburg until after Rykard's dead, so we'll see how that goes.

Patches - being a dick in the Manor Entrance. Again, I don't think he moves to the Briar guy's castle until after Volcano Manor falls.

Hyetta - Last saw her in Liurnia where she seemed to have made peace with eating people's eyes. But she wasn't in the Frenzied Flame Pit when I was down there, so I must be missing a step somewhere.

Dung Eater/Blackguard - Let Dung Eater out and he fucked up my prawn buddy, but I killed his ghost. I think I've given him 3/5 curses at this point?

Ranni and her gang - Progressed Seluvis enough to get the poison for Ranni, but gave her the Fingerslayer Blade instead because I'm not stupid, so he should be dead now. Blaidd is out of the evergaol and off somewhere going mad. Iji's just chillin'.

Millicent - Got her help beating the Black Blade Kindred and met her in Mountaintops of the Giants, but when I reloaded the area, she was gone, so I guess I'll see her later. Haven't gone back to check on Gowry yet, but I will.

The Great Jar - tried fighting his knights a while ago, but they kept getting the better of me. Could probably take them now, though. Something else to add to the checklist.

I *think* that's everybody that has shit for me to do?

Anyway. Yeah. Castle Sol, then Volcano Manor, then Faram Azula and the Ash Capital and the Consecrated Snowfield/Haligtree. And then I suppose I'll be ready to go down and fuck up Mohg again and start the DLC.

[benayoung]

"i'm concerned about everyone. the competition is difficult." (mentioned: @bexstevie @bejaeyoung @beseira )

new year, new survival show, it would seem. this would technically be her fourth, if she can count it, since she's not a contestant this time.

still, sitting down for an interview, in front of a camera again, feels a little like returning home.

she can't help but think of all of the different people she's been in rooms like this one, from the fake happy-go-lucky girl in her first season to the hardened "ice queen" she is today. she actually smiles a little, then looks to the interviewer expectantly.

"what are your first impressions of the talent this season?"

that's a good question, honestly. "they're probably better than us," she admits with a bark of laughter. "that's how these shows always work, right?" from her experience, somehow, new talent always surges upwards and surpasses its predecessors. it frightens her a little, but she doesn't feel threatened by any of the girls this season – at least not yet. maybe she'll see who her ceo selects for sr media and change her mind.

"none of the ceos said they wanted to sign anyone on day one last season, so i think that already says enough," she points out, but she doesn't take it personally.

"what do you think of initial rankings?"

"my job is to coach, not to judge," she says diplomatically. "thankfully." she smiles, close-lipped. will that stop her from judging people? absolutely not. will it stop her from saying anything judgmental in this moment? yes.

"based on what you've seen, who do you think has center potential?"

nayoung pauses in thought for a moment. "i think stevie could be a good center for the boys. his voice and rapping both still need work, but i think his previous experience on next gen shows in his skill level overall. i'm just afraid he was more..." she pauses again, trying to think of how to explain it, "endearing, last season? he's nervous this season, which is good, because it means he cares now. but it's also bad, because i think it's getting to his head. if he can find a way to shake off his nerves and be himself while still taking the competition seriously, he'll be in contention for a high rank the entire season, in my opinion."

of course, nayoung has paid attention, and has a lot of opinions. "song jaeyoung is incredibly well-rounded. if the judges are searching for a center who's good at singing, rapping, and dancing about equally, he would be a good pick. i find that he's missing a certain spark, though. he isn't very memorable to me when he performs, and i personally feel that's important for a center to have."

"as for the female center, i think my top pick is han yura. she's not the most captivating performer of the season, but she's pretty and has no significant weaknesses that i've seen. she's a good rapper, which is important for the center of this season, but she's a solid singer as well, and she's kept up fine with the choreography."

"are there any contestants you're concerned about?"

"i'm concerned about everyone. the competition is difficult," she laughs, and it's both sincere and not. she isn't that concerned – ultimately what happens to the contestants of this show matters little to her. she knows it can be hard on people, though, and she knows they're all inexperienced.

"it's volatile, too. one week you can be in first and the next you can be at the bottom of the rankings," she speaks from experience. "who is having trouble this week might shine next week. it really just depends."

"if we're only talking about this week?"

"if we're only talking about this week, seira comes to mind. she's a skilled rapper, but she's not confident in her dancing, and her vocals........" nayoung has nothing nice to say there. "i don't think she'll be center. i hope she isn't eliminated, though, because while she isn't center material in my opinion, i think she has other things left to show."

"any final words?"

nayoung bows in her seat. "thank you! i'm grateful i got to coach everyone this week and i hope i'm able to continue." she honestly has no idea what the future holds.

[reflectionsofacreator]

Sort of stuck on which pov to use next for Raven Feathers and for Queen Malapropos... I'm leaning towards Mia for RF, given how I haven't had a second pov from her yet, but also idk if that'll get across the stuff I want for Aiden's backstory. Though it will give some nice weight to the confrontation with Jack at the Cathedral... hm.

Queen is a bit more complicated because like. I have the exact sequence of events that I want, but do I repeat Melina's pov as she watches stuff go down, or do I branch out some more and potentially do Boc or Yura? Boc sounds interesting, but also I'm not thrilled about the constant self-deprecation that Boc has.

Credence... I just need to actually finish Crowe's chapter tbh.

Let Me Fly to My Room

𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆(𝐒) — Katara/Zuko (Avatar)

𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐘 —  Who knows what the last month of summer before classes will bring for Katara Nuataaq and her friends. Katara will need a roommate after her friend Kailani moves out, and they suggest the Fire Nation President's disowned son Zuko; she hates him and the idea. But, who can say no to rent money? Though everything changes when the global pandemic attacks. So now everyone is stuck inside.

𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 — 

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 — 1 of ?

𝐀/𝐍 — it's also on ao3 but like eh. This is my first attempt at a Modern Au for Avatar the Last Airbender all feedback is appreciated and wanted. 

“I personally think that the actor could get it, but his portrayal of the Blue Spirit is awful,” Katara said as she finished braiding her hair. She was currently in a video call with Suki, Toph, and Kailani.

“How could you say that? They don’t even talk about why Nura is the way he is. But Izumi Watanabe is amazing. He deserves another chance.” Kailani chimed in as she joined Katara in the bathroom. 

“You guys, it’s only the sequel. We can decide this evening after the movie. Also, it is his first mainstream role.” Suki reminded.

“You know what the better franchise is? Legend of Koh.” Toph added. “Before one of you says that-”

“That horror franchise that has been driven into the ground,” Katara said with a teasing laugh. “Watch it, Sugar Queen. I don’t tell you how many years we’ve been waiting for the Blue Spirit and Painted Lady to get together. Then that failed wedding comic.”

Katara’s face fell as she looked through her shirts. “Toph, why.”

“I hope she’s in this movie, then I can run it in King Bryke’s face; man, I should have jumped him at Comic-Con. Waiting for over 80 years just for her to leave him.” Kailani looked over. “They can’t let the two bisexuals with two identities be together? Yura and Nejo deserve each other. Is it racism or just-”

“Kai, save the rant for when we eat.” Suki said and looked down at her watch, “okay, I’m driving, so I’m going to pick you guys up. Katara, you have the tickets?”

“Yes, I do, Kai, and I will see you soon.” Katara nodded as she finally picked out an outfit with a lightweight pale blue sweater with cream-colored jeans and a pair of blue toms that were comfy to walk around in. 

Toph stretched out as she spoke before hanging up, “fair enough, okay, see you guys later.”

Katara shook her head as she hung up. “Hey, can you help me latch my necklace?”

Kailani returned, dressed in a leather jacket with a casual outfit and combat boots. “I got you.” She said and walked behind her and clasped the necklace.

“Thanks.” She paused and thought a bit, “you know I saw Sata Nikiski was mentioned.” Katara looked over as she walked out of the bathroom. “She’s either playing a villain or Yura,” she said, grabbing their apartment keys. “La, it’s nice to go out before you move.”

“Well, Takumi wants to try living together, and you know it’s been two years, though he mentioned that Zuko is moving out too—”

Katara rolled her eyes. “You’re not gonna win me over with that. I like Takumi, but Ozai Sozin is practically a dictator over the fire nation, and how is he still President? Honestly, all he did was steal oil from the Water Tribes, then war, and don’t forget the Earth Kingdom colonies. So why should I let Zuko Sozin have room and board in -”

Kailani nodded. “Trust me, Takumi and I talk about it a lot.” She said and thought a moment, “but I was asked to try,” she said and looked back as they walked through their place. “Though he doesn’t go by Sozin anymore, he took his mom’s maiden name.” She said as she heard the phone go off. “So think about it. It might just be a month at the most.” She said as she walked out. 

Katara thought about it a bit as she walked out after Kailani. It would be weird. She had successfully roomed with Yue, Kailani, and just people she knew better from high school and just in life, and letting him in would be a mistake. At least, she figured, but it was true if Kai left, then she’d be looking for a roommate again, and a teacher’s aide didn’t pay that much. “Okay, okay, tell Takumi I’ll think about it.” 

“You’re the second love of my life,” Kailani called as Katara walked out of the apartment, locking the door.

“Come on, we have an hour to buy cheap snacks and popcorn!” Toph called out. 

Katara and Kailani walked up to the matte green genesis g70 and climbed in. “I like the new wrap,” Katara said as she looked around and looked out the window as they drove off.

“It was going to be yellow, but I changed my mind,” Suki said as she looked around. “where should we get snacks since you’re the expert, Toph?” 

“Oma Shugai,” Toph suggested.

Kailani looked up. “I haven’t been there. Are they new?” She asked as she felt around in her leather jacket. “He put a knife in the pocket.” She shook her head.

“Yep, they just opened up like a week ago, but they have a variety and are cheaper than the movies. Not that we really have to worry about the price, but it’s much easier.” Toph laughed, “Mullet Head really said use protection.” Her joke garnered laughs from the group. “No one ever talks about Suki and Sokka; Kailani thought, yeah, let’s talk about her.” 

Katara laughed as she looked at her phone and thought, “speaking of them, what are they planning on doing?”

“Internet Cafe.” Suki and Kailani responded in unison. “Sokka said he was dragging Takumi along, so they invited two other people, so that’ll be fun to hear about,” Suki added.

“Why haven’t we gone to an internet cafe?” Toph asked. “It sounds more fun than hearing you guys fawn over these people.”

Katara laughed softly, “because last time we tried, you said the games were ass, and the owner was ableist. We did the TikTok video and everything.” She looked at her phone and nodded, checking some messages as she continued speaking, “so we were waiting to try out Cafegenics.” She said and looked around as they made it to the store. “Hold on, that’s Sokka’s car?” She asked, pointing at the blue jeep renegade with a surfboard rack. 

Suki looked as she parked. “We have to pretend we don’t know them so we can get our snacks and run so we can go look at famous people who don’t know we exist. But be hot while doing it.” 

“Alright, it’s a plan,” Toph said as she opened the door and unfurled her cane, walking ahead of the others. “I’m getting sweet and spicy fire flakes.”

Katara nodded as she jumped out, “okay, that sounds good. Maybe they’ll have the tempura seaweed chips.” Kailani followed her, “Shrimp chips are calling my name. I’m going to come back and stock up on snacks.”

Suki nodded as she walked in behind them and looked around. “Pocky.” She walked on through the aisles.

Katara looked around as she walked through, grabbing a few things for the movies; as she walked into someone, the snacks and her sparkling moon peach and lychee tea fell to the floor. “Oh, come on. Sorry about that.” She said as she knelt down to grab her things. She looked up as the other person kneeled down to help. “It’s my fault. I wasn’t watching where I was going.” They replied in a slightly muffled voice.

Katara looked up and frowned slightly as she noted the mask, scar, and black hoodie. The world must be out for her. Zuko Sozin. So that was who Sokka had been hanging out with. The same person who told her in high school during his trip to the Fire Nation was like, ‘Those are enemy birds.’

“It’s fine,” Katara said as she grabbed her things as quickly as they had fallen. “Well, I have to go, guys.” She called and looked back as she noted that they had all bumped into someone, “so much for getting to the movies on time.” She looked over as she walked over. Katara really didn’t want to start an argument or anything like that with Zuko, but it was hard. 

Katara took a deep breath as she saw her friends and Sokka Takumi there. “So you guys ready to go?” She asked. 

“Sokka and Takumi offered to pay for us,” Suki mentioned as she looked back at Katara.

“I could pay for you since I made you drop your things,” Zuko said, coming up behind her. Katara knew he probably only wanted to apologize, but right now, she didn’t think her pride would let her. It was also embarrassing to think back to the fact that she had done that.

Takumi shook his head in Zuko’s direction as he spoke, “you can add your things to Kai’s stuff. It’s only fair since she’s moving out soon.” He looked back to the cashier and handed them his card. “And we can get out of your hair before the movie.”

Katara laughed, “taking my roommate to who knows where in Ba Sing Se.” She said teasingly. “Kat, you can’t get rid of me that easily. We have Molaoh for Queer Anthropology-”

“Wait, I got that class too!” Suki said as she put her snacks into her bag and smiled. “Thank Houtu.” 

“You guys make it sound like you don’t plan to have classes together.” Sokka said as he looked over, “it must be nice to have friends in a class.” He said and glanced at Zuko and Takumi.

“Leave them alone, Sokka; no one said you had to go into engineering.” Suki countered as she kissed his cheek, going to walk out.

“Hey, you’re a TA in one of my engineering classes next semester. Nice.” Toph said and nodded as she grabbed her bag, “okay, doesn’t the movie start in like less than an hour now? Honestly, I don’t know how you guys do it. Boyfriends taking up your time.” She said as she used her cane to navigate her way out of the store.

Kailani laughed as she nodded, “you have a point, Toph.”

“Hey-” Takumi exclaimed, grabbing her hand as Katara rolled her eyes almost in unison with Zuko.

 Katara sighed as she grabbed Kailani’s hand. “I’ll pay you back, Takumi; you guys have fun doing whatever you’re gonna do.” She said, walking past her brother. “I’ll text you later, Kumi.” Kailani called.

“To the movies before Takumi tries to come back for her,” Katara called as she got into the car with Kailani behind her.

Suki looked over. “You had quite the meet-cute with Zuko.”

“Sweetness having a meet-cute with Sparky?” Toph asked, “sounds fake.”

“They bumped into each other; she didn’t even see me. Zuko got all red when he turned away. It was kind of funny.”

Katara looked in her bag as she shook her head. “You didn’t see anything.”

“I am a master spy; I know what I say; honestly, I don’t think it’d be the worst thing if he moved in with you. Sokka and I would let him stay at our place, but we’ll be housing someone from the Patola Mountain Range, Madame Kyoshi set it up. Also, he’s changed a lot; we go to the same gym, so I think it wouldn’t be the worst thing also-”

“Neither of us wants you living alone,” Kailani said as Suki drove on to Leopard Dragon Movie Theater.

“Also, even though he’s cut off from the Sozin name, it would make rent easier,” Toph said.

Katara frowned and spoke, “cut off; I thought he only changed his last name?” Being completely cut off was interesting. She knew most of the Fire Nation’s beliefs were death before dishonor, which was a big step. “Yeah, cut off.” Toph replied, “it was a big thing my parents didn’t shut up about it. Happened a few years after the so-called accident.” 

Katara nodded, “Okay, maybe I need someone for rent since Kai is moving out. But no way in La I’m moving his things in.” She said as soon as Suki parked.

Toph let out a laugh,” always so kind, Sugar Queen.”

“It’s a deal,” Kailani said as she moved to send a message on her phone. 

Suki chuckled, “Alright, let’s go experience The Blue Spirit 2: Revealed.”

Katara looked as she laughed and walked with the group up to the theatre. “We were right; Sata Nikiski’s on the poster.”

“Water Tribe,” Kailani said as they went in.

Inuyasha Bad Girlfriend Guide

This is a companion piece to the bad boyfriend guide. As a Kikyō stan, I see so many fics where she is cast as the bad guy—sort of rightly—but... I’m hoping that a handy-dandy worksheet of a few more choices and why they make great bad girlfriends will free my girl from the perpetual bad guy treatment (and yup, I understand that she… in her necromanced wraith form in canon kinda deserves it.) Even so <cough>, here are some ladies for your consideration! They can do an excellent job keeping (or tearing) our OTP apart, so let’s let ‘em! (be aware here that Kagome is assumed to be the heroine in these scenarios!)

Disclaimer (I can’t believe that this needs to be said...) but this list assumes that the relationships are age-appropriate.

Yura: How can we not love to hate this vicious queen? She wears pieces of folded cloth as her outfit? Hell yes! Because if you’re not going tits-out in your schemes to further your personal hair fetish, are you really living? She’s mean, she’s over-the-top sexual, she collects heads like they’re trophies, and she has little personality outside of being the ho-out-to-steal-your-man. If your hero needs some terrible vapid awful-teen-movie-stereotype girlfriend, Yura is here for you. If you need someone who has no boundaries and makes your man uncomfortable? Yura is here for you.

Princess Abi: Gotta love someone with mommy issues that believes in her own superiority. She hates humans and doesn’t have time for lesser demons. Yes, fine, she’ll use them to get ahead (or help her mom get ahead), but she doesn’t mince words about those she feels are inferior to her (which is basically… everyone.) Need a snob? She will serve all your snobby needs!

Kanna: She’s an incredible practitioner of the dead-eye stare. Need someone who is so full of themselves that they don’t even deign to talk to the heroine? Well, Kanna is here for you. She can even have the nickname soul stealer because she seems to leech the very soul out of the poor man (or woman) she’s with. Add to that the looking like a doll and you have someone who is absolutely ethereally beautiful (almost to a creepy degree) and arctically cold.

Nazuna: Remember her? The human who hated demons even after one saved her life? The one who put all her trust into a dude who ended up being a spider? (We remember!) She eventually came around when poor Inuyasha turned into a human… She’s got that nice anti-demon bigotry to play with, and perhaps even a bit of the cultish attitude of “come to my temple and we can change you!” feels if needed!

Eri, Ayumi, Yuka: You date one of them, and whoops, you’re suddenly dating all three of them, because they can’t go anywhere without their best girlfriends. The vapid three are really great for name-swapping shticks (is it Eri or Yuka? nope it's Ayumi!), and can serve as a set of three-in-one mean girls to your heart’s delight! Lean into the power of three!

Ayame: Need a fiery redhead in your life? Yes? No? She seems like she would be a wonderful girlfriend except for the whole… she’s been stuck thinking about this one boy who she talked to this one time when she was younger and now compares absolutely everyone else to him. Seriously. Be ready to never stack up against the fairy tale. It’s fun while it lasts (Ayame is probably a pretty wonderful cook!), but you’re never going to be ✨Kōga✨ (the fantasy version, not to be mistaken with flesh-and-blood Kōga) so… ultimately it’ll fall apart.

Kagura: Oh what wonderful things that can be said about this queen of mean. Namely that she is powerful, she is beautiful, and she is desperately trying to escape a terrible home life. If you look like someone who will get her out of that awful situation? Congratulations! You have yourself a girlfriend! Unfortunately, this makes her cold and calculating, looking for where her next jump to farther away from her awful family will be. And lordie if this woman’s father comes looking for her…

Hitomiko: There are a lot of possibilities here! Let’s start with the tragically sick partner, who has been clinging to life and starting to fight a losing battle to an illness. You wouldn’t abandon her on death’s door, would you? Even with the sweet heroine there? The angst you can throw in with that! <chef’s kiss.> And then there’s the… “don’t do this one thing but if you do it’s going to get bad.” Sure, it was “don’t bury my head with my body” but how many other creative ways could you use this? Trigger that dark personality. The one controlled by the spider. The one that Hitomiko desperately tries to hide! The one that only happens behind closed doors! Basically don’t count this tragic priestess out.

Sara Asano: Yes, great, she is musical and can make people stop and listen to her play. But here’s the problem: she’s got that obsessive energy about her. She will follow the hero everywhere he goes, and definitely provides you with that excellent stalker vibe you might need. Would she pull a Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction and boil a bunny if someone breaks up with her? Yes she would.

Botan, Momiji: Silly silly girls, taken in by the words of a mean MILF who needs them to act as a shield between her schemes and the heroes. But what can they do for you dear writer? Well… they blindly follow what their mother says, and that means you have yourself some excellent stepsister types! Ones who are dating the noble boy because mom said so and they listen to mom. That extra bit of noble snootiness can be weaved into some great angst, especially if your heroine lacks the thing that makes one or the other snooty! These two also have the interchangeability aspect if Eri, Ayumi and Yuka are useful elsewhere!

Tsubaki: Speaking of the big old mean mommy. Here she is in the plastic-surgeried-to-look-young flesh! She’s manipulative and cunning. She is toxic and will burn everything down to get her way, and she will deceive and deceive and deceive to get ahead! Need an older woman who is pretending to be young trapping your poor hero or heroine? Well, here you are! Tsubaki the evil witch can give you all that sweet sweet old-hag power that your story needs!

Tōran, Karan, Shunran: Nothing like a good old family rivalry to make these two amazingly bad panther demon girlfriend candidates! Oops, they totally forgot to tell the hero that there has been a blood feud between their families for generations and they’ve come to collect!

Midoriko: Listen. Girl has a lot on her plate. She had to use her soul to trap the really bad demons after all. So if you are looking for that impossibly unattainable woman who seems to be able to balance a million things all at the same time while looking and being flawless? Midoriko is there for you. Problem though? She puts work above everything else. Fine, so her job is saving the world, but sometimes somebody just needs a snuggle, right? She’d also probably be that pep-talking ex, who sits down and tells the heroine to stop comparing herself to others, because she’s fabulous all on her own.

Kaguya: That type of narcissist that you could see becoming an influencer that will stop at nothing to become the top influencer in the world. She’s manipulative and powerful, and she is a weakness-seeking missile, so the hero better watch out. The more of his soul he reveals to her, the deeper into her power he will become. She definitely won’t let the breakup go, and will continue to haunt the OTP long after she’s been dumped. We don’t see this beauty enough in people’s stories!

Tsukiyomi: Beautiful, powerful, and has fallen in love with demons before. Problem is, she is absolutely stuck on her ex. She probably texts him while you are sipping wine!

Shiori: Sometimes it sucks to see your love interest with the perfect partner (can anyone tell that I am a Shiori stan?) She’s sweet and she’s smart and she’s supportive. She and the hero really do seem so completely happy together and it tears the heroine’s heart from her chest. Maybe they break up because Shiori realizes that the hero is secretly falling for the heroine, and maybe she moves away and they make the hard decision to part, but they decide to remain friends and continue to support each other. Sometimes it’s okay to have a fluffy and affable ex! And for one of those? Shiori is a great idea!

Inukimi: Lucille Bluth but a near-immortal perfectly beautiful dog demon goddess among mortals (we totally get where Sesshōmaru gets his good looks from). She probably thought of that one date with your hero as being because she was bored. Inukimi definitely likes to play with her food.

Shima: really doesn’t want to be here, but her parents forced her to behind her back. (Who the hell offers a girl to a catfish?) Problem is, she sees a convenient lie about the hero to be far better than the marriage her parents arranged for her. And that bleeding heart hero might just accept to get her out of a really bad situation! She’s a lesson: don’t trap people into relationships!

Honeki/Bone Demon: Gotta love those bait and switch ladies. This demon looks beautiful and lures men to their untimely deaths by feeding their bones to her father (who is basically all bone). Nickname her boner-killer (because clever puns are lifeblood), and make it clear she is really only after the bone and you have a dirty demon set of jokes and a heroine who can endlessly roll her eyes at a hero who is after her.

Koharu: You are too young to be trying to date these older men, young lady! Now go home and do your homework.

Sōten: I blame this headcanon entirely on @witchygirl99 and @nartista. That Sōten, the sweet thunder demon sister to the bad boyfriend brothers is a sapphic queen, who dates the hero in her journey toward being comfortable with who she is and what her sexuality is. Once she figures it out though, the relationship blazes to an abrupt and friendly end! You have the potential here for Sōten to comment on thinking the heroine is gorgeous, helping spur our hero toward his OTP!

Sango: Here’s another hard-to-make-bad girlfriend! Well, she has a tragic family history and really can’t handle trusting people but once she’s found her people, she becomes endlessly supportive. Sango fits the role of the better off friends ex-girlfriend extremely well. Hell, she’d probably be down for fake dating shenanigans to get the heroine to understand that she has a crush on the hero!

Kikyō: Yes yes, Kikyō is here. And yes, she does make a pretty great bad girlfriend. But that’s the thing about her. She’s full of so much baggage and tragedy and anger and resentment that if you’re going to thrust her into that role, she deserves the depth that her tragic priestess backstory provides her. She was burned (literally!) and betrayed! So if she’s clingy, it’s with this desperate knowledge that someone might tear the fragile balance back away from her. Give her the chance to be a broken bad girlfriend instead of the ho-in-the-way, after all, we have Yura for that!

Kaede & Rin are going unmentioned here intentionally. I’m sure that we can bend our imaginations to make them work—of course we can! But… with a most excellent list of 23+ candidates, do we really need to go there?

[whatdoyoumeanitsnotcanon]

Elden Ring Bachelor/ette anon here, anything you think may be best. Probably written though, pictures can convey stuff but words like make it more descriptive.

Radagon - Doesn't really give two fucks and would really prefer to return to Rennala and salvage whatever he can of that relationship. And so with his children's blessing, he departs but not before the God-Tarnished squeezes his chesticles because goddamn.

Marika - Surprisingly, has also had enough of being God-Queen and opts to just... be? To just be and try to repair the relationship with her family while also avoiding her brother as best she can (I'm assuming Godfrey and Maliketh are also alive as well). She'd be the Chris Harrison (minus the controversy) of the whole shebang.

Morgott - Still salty as fuck that the God-Tarnished beat him and also looked up his cloak so it's two hells and two nawls for the moment. He'd also make for a good advisor. In the meantime, he's busy passive-aggressively giving Marika and Godfrey shit for their past actions. May or may not throw shade at the God-Tarnished as well. Receives a Rune Arc and bitches about that, too. He secretly rejoices though.

Mohg - The one who's starting shit behind the scenes and yes, he's using Varré to do his dirty work, too. Like to tease Morgott over his saltiness. He and Varré may or may not come as a 2-for-1 deal. Steals Receives a Rune Arc as well.

Radahn - The Tarnished may harbor a little crush on him but is heartbroken to find out that he's actually in a relationship with Jerren. God-Tarnished proceeds to yell at Radahn about how he led them on but Radahn is confused as shit because he's only met them ONCE. He does let them ride Leonard afterward so all is well.

Ranni - This cute, smol thing is also kinda salty that shit didn't pan out but unlike Morgott she lets it go and gives them her blessing. She's also grateful that her parents will soon reunite but it's still 'fuck you, Radagon'. Also receives a Rune Arc.

Rykard - Automatic no because he's TOGETHHHAAAA with Tanith. Commits blasphemy yet again.

Boggart - Gets a Rune Arc by virtue of his chesticles and bomb ass food.

Rogier - Too busy being a slut and pining after D (BOTH OF THEM) at the same damn time.

Diallos - Currently getting his back blown out by Bernahl so... no.

Godrick - Received a Rune Arc because the God-Tarnished is a troll. Surprisingly, it turns into a legitimate connection. Radahn and Malenia object.

Nepheli Loux - Made Kenneth Haight her bitch (and he loves it) so no.

Gideon Offnir - God-Tarnished is absolutely on the fence about giving him one because he could be a decent Elden Lord if he WASN'T SUCH A DICK.

Vyke - Do you really want those problems with Lansseax?

Malenia -

Fia - Too busy pining after Godwyn who is busy pining after Fortissax who ALSO happens to be pining after Godwyn, too. Um...

Dung Eater - Okay, who the fuck put him on the list?

Patches - Is the John Paul Jones of the Lands Between. A fan-favorite of the residents (HOW?). Morgott and Marika approve because he 'imports' some of their favorite foods and beverages which are rare delicacies in the region. Receives a Rune Arc.

Yura - Received a Rune Arc and didn't know what the hell was going on until it was too late. Well shit...

Gostoc - Is only doing this to spite Godrick and it's working.

Boc - Isn't even participating but is the reason why the God-Tarnished's fashions are on point.

Corhyn - Still laughing maniacally at it all.

D (Darian) - Is surprisingly flattered to receive a Rune Arc which pisses Rogier off.

D (Devin) - Also receives a Rune Arc, too. Thought the God-Tarnished was bullshitting until Darian explained it to him and he witnessed Rogier mope, pout, and then argue with Darian about it. In that order.

[harmfulot]

Due to today being International Women’s day I’ll share my top 10 favorite female characters from Inuyasha in order. Let’s begin ❤️

10. Kaguya

Her design is gorgeous and her abilities were so unique. And if it wasn’t for her we wouldn’t have gotten Kagome to kiss her man 😉

9. Yura of the Hair

Honestly?? Yes...such a iconic villain. Her appearance was short but very entertaining as her character.

8. Izayoi

WOAH. Tōga hit that??

7. Rin

This precious girl who lived a happy life after Inuyasha ended and is definitely not living in a tree because of her husband who was also her past babysitter!!!

6. Ayame

Sunrise are COWARDS. Actually try to convince this girl is not a huge sapphic. I love her so much it hurts she was used as a mildly love interest. Unpopular opinion but Ayame and Koga getting together was NOT it.

5. Inukimi

And of course, let’s not won’t forget the milfs because Sess’s mom has got it going on 🎶

4. Kagura of the Wind

Her fabulous sass self was too much for Inuyasha to handle which is why she had to go 🤭 And let’s not forget she got Sesshomaru, someone who is supposedly a cold hearted character to come see her before her final moments.

3. Kikyo

BEFORE Y’ALL KILL ME FOR THIS ONE...I have a love hate relationship with this girl but in a joking matter cause in truth I absolutely adore this b*tch yes she’s a b*tch but she’s my b*tch 😏 Though it would have been better if there wasn’t a love triangle with her and Inukag because it was so unnecessary. I just know Kikyo could have been a favorite among fans but honestly I think I love her character more because she was so evil at times but THE MA’AM DID COME AROUND. Good for her.

2. Sango

The POWER this girlie holds. She went through so much and yet she was always there for her friends. And not only is she slaying demons but she’s a cat person 👀 💖 Miroku better treat her like a QUEEN.

1. Kagome Higurashi

WHO DARE HATE HER? Kagome is such a amazing role model for girls. I know people say she’s weak because she got captured many times but put yourself in her shoes. She was only 15 and in dangerous world risking her life helping and saving people and dealing with her own personal life in her world. Not only did the girl have boys simping for her but she was even nice to people who tried to kill her! Sure,people may say she has flaws but every character does and in the end her character always meant well.

[infinitenthq]

ANON asked ; I was gonna make a female manager that's a three time idol failure and I was curious if you guys would like to see park jiyeon, im jinah, or kim yura and if anyone would specifically want her as their manager!! thank you so much.

aaa i’d love to see nana personally since she’s my queen ! that would be great to see here though and i know some of us here are v much wanting a manager so if any of our members are interested,, please let us know !!

[sealer-of-wenkamui]

eleonora is know as 'the violet bloodfinger' and without helmt her eyes are indeed violet, why?

i dont know, the other 'violet' mentioned in game is grave violet 'A purple flower that blooms in graveyards. Material used for crafting items.The hue of ghostflame, it's believed to be useful in calling forth spirits.'

now, ghostflame is white, blueish and black and cause frostbite, the hue of ghostflame sorceries and deathbird are a blue more similar to raya lucaria glinstone and comet azur and not purple, maybe this doesnt mean much. and in overworld had purple crystals.

gravity magic are purple, tibia mariner and spirit ashes are purplish maybe is this the hue that grave violet talk abot, saint trina related things this purplish color, and some crabs can apply sleep(why? idk), the dusk/gloam eyed queen related things, and some nox and their ants, and demi human queen sometimes had shine purple eyes maybe more enemiues but i dont recall.

violet/purple had a relation to death/spirits in much of these exemples, maybe eleonora is called the violet blloodfinger because she is the deadliest with a great victim count.

she is the one that got purifying crystal tear 'The resulting conction purifies the curse from Mohg, Lord of Blood's terrifying rite of blood.' and had no tatoo even being the most susceful assassin. i wish there more info in her and yura

whats your tought on them? there this super good reddit discussion about yura and her https://www.reddit.com/r/Eldenring/comments/ujib57/lore_bloody_finger_hunter_yura_used_to_hunt/

Ahh, Eleonora, I’ve thought a little bit about her, personally I think she was plotting against Mohg because like you said, she drops the purifying tear, and also lacks the cult symbol. That tattoo seems to be something they choose to get (and not a reaction from accursed blood, or else the nameless white mask would have it, and he doesn’t.) That to me seems to suggest she’s not loyal to the cult.

Maybe she was willing to go to extremes to become trusted enough for her chance to strike him down, which is how she became known as the deadliest… though Yura keeps talking about her like she’s giving in to the “cessblood”, so it seems to suggest she’s being driven mad by it… so maybe it really is Mohg’s blood and she’s what happens when you’re unable to tame it. Ah, and that thread reminded me of that line about slicing off a finger that bothered me, I looked it up in JP, turns out its much clearer that he means he sliced off HER finger, which would be the source of that blood. So it seems that was how he was trying to save her from that madness.

The one thing I don’t get then is why she lacks the red eyes . Looking at the face data again, Okina lacks them as well, the other 2 are pinkish so it could be taken to be altered I’m not sure… Maybe those that got blood directly from Mohg don’t have the red eyes, Varre doesn’t, Okina is said to have encountered Mohg directly and he doesn’t, so perhaps Eleanora did as well…?

The “Do not stain the immaculacy of your sword, your flesh, your fire..." line of Yura’s specifies her “beautiful dragonflame” in JP as well, and he seems more concerned with the bloody finger stuff, so I’m not really sure if she was driven mad by dragon communion (especially as its pointed out, he suggests you try it)

As for the violet title, I’m not quite sure what to make of that myself, other than like you pointed out, the association with death, or maybe just her eye color.

effortlessly pt. 4 || jungkook & reader

title: effortlessly  pairing: jungkook x reader genre: fluff, romance, school!au, smut (not in this chapter) words:  3.8k on the shorter side note: again, i may need to do some proofreading!!! enjoy :)

series: part one || part two || part three || part four || part five || part six || part seven || part eight || part nine || part ten || epilogue 

The sun shining through the blinds warms your skin as you groan while rubbing your eyes drowsily at the contact. Sliding off Jungkook’s body and cloaking your face into the pillow, you sigh heavenly. Although still exhausted, after confessing your feelings to the sleeping Jungkook the night before, you felt relieved. 

Jungkook? He thinks he hasn’t slept a wink. There may have been a moment or two where he dazed off to the point that he thought he fell asleep but in actuality, he could barely get himself to close his eyes long enough. 

Well, you did tell him you loved him last night. 

How else was he supposed to react? He spent the entire 8 hours with a billion thoughts running through his mind incessantly. Sure, he constantly showered you with affection, occasionally slipping in some pick up lines, and flirting ceaselessly but he never believed that you would ever reciprocate those same feelings... or even come close to the point of potentially realizing how you felt. A hopeful dream was what it was and the only way to prevent heartbreak was to prioritize his aspirations to become a swimmer. 

Regardless of that... he’d been in love with you for over a decade, so what does this mean now?

You confessed to his sleeping body, or well— “sleeping.” Does he tell you that he heard everything you said? Would that be too much? It felt like he was eavesdropping on a conversation he shouldn’t have listened in on, even if you were saying it directly to him. But you said those things unfiltered, assuming that he wouldn’t hear anything.

Chewing his bottom lip with his brows wrinkled, he pondered in silence as your body beside him is shifting constantly under the covers, switching in different positions. Edges of his mouth twitching into a soft smile at the sight of you, he runs his fingers through his messy locks, finally coming to a decision.

Jungkook is going to take this opportunity to tell you that he loves you. The proper way, of course, since technically he isn’t supposed to know about your confession. He’s going to make up for what happened with what should have happened.

“You’re awake?” You grumble, voice husky. He chuckles at the sound, pinching your cheek gently. “Yeah, been awake for a while. Getting up any time soon?”

Shaking your head, you drop your face back into the pillow, muffling your words. “I just wanna sleep all day. Did you have any plans for today?” 

He hums a moment in thought, glancing over at you. “I didn’t initially, but I think we should do something today. Did you have anything in mind that you want to do lately?”

Turning your head, you glare at your best friend. “You’re the one who wants to go somewhere.”

“True but I wanted to give you the option to pick.”

Rolling your eyes, you purse your lips in response. “Let’s get pizza and go to the beach.”

“Beach?”

“Yeah, you said you wanted to give me an option to pick. I heard it’s going to be nice and hot outside, and if you’re not letting me stay indoors in the amazing AC, you’re taking me to the beach to cool down.”

“Sassy,” He says, pushing a strand of your hair away from your face and behind your ear. “But okay. We can do that. I’m down for it.”

“Just us two?”

“Just us two.” You liked the sound of that.

The sun barely pecks your skin in the morning but it’s noon now, and the sun hates you. Toes digging into the sand as Jungkook leads to find a spot to put the umbrella, you’re weeping from the heat under your feet and the sun scorching your skin.

“Jungkook, I’m fucking melting.”

“Yes miss, we are all melting in this heat. We are all bitches to the sun right now.”

You’re grumbling, dragging your legs with you as you fix the straps on the duffle bag that sits as a crossbody on your frame. “Jeon, hurry up and pick a spot before I become one with the sand!”

“Quit being such a drama queen.” He rolls his eyes playfully, finally deciding on a spot that wasn’t too far from the water but wasn’t close enough to be swept in by the tide. “This seems like a good spot.”

“It only took months.” He flicks your forehead. “I said quit it, drama queen.”

After sticking the umbrella into the sand and setting up the rest of the necessities for the day, you throw your body onto the mat, groaning loudly in relief that the tasks had been completed. “I enjoy this, other than the sun burning my skin before I even got the chance to put on sunscreen.”

“You’re still in your denim shorts and T-shirt,” Jungkook comments, now shirtless with just his swim trunks on. “That’s why you’re sweating like that. Hurry and get ready, I’ll put sunblock on you.” Abiding by his instruction, you strip yourself from the shirt that clings to your body in sweat and the thick shorts that absorbed most of the sun’s heat. Left in your bikini, you turn yourself around to lay on the mat.

His breath hitches again— it seems to be a common reaction from him lately to anything that has to do with you. He wishes he could press butterfly kisses against your soft and supple skin but he shakes away the urges before squirting some of the sunscreen in his hands and rub your back.

“Hold on.” You say and he pauses, hands stopping in midair. Your arm reaches around to your back, pulling the strands of your black bikini to unravel, exposing more of your back and he clears his throat when he loses control of his breathing patterns. “What are you doing? We’re in public.”

“Tan lines,” you respond casually, resting your cheek on a folded towel. “Go on.”

Jungkook felt like he was having an inner argument with himself. Everything you did was almost in a teasing manner, and especially with the newfound knowledge that you’re in love with him— he can’t help but find you even more attractive than before. Maybe he was delusional, but he was starting to feel like you were doing this on purpose.

“Thanks.” Retying your top, you turn yourself around to lay on your back, lathering the lotion onto the front portions of your body. “You want me to do yours?”

“No.” He quickly replies, face flushed pink. The thought of your hands touching his skin... he didn’t think he’d be able to handle it. Realizing how suspicious he sounded, he corrects himself. “I mean, no... I’m okay.”

Wrapping your fingers around his wrist, you tighten your grasp before pulling him onto the mat and forcing him to lay on his stomach, squirting a decent amount of the product onto your hands. He’s groaning at the sudden impact, face pressed against the toughness of the mat, rubbing his face with his hand. “What was that for?”

“You’re just being so weird today.” Applying the sunscreen onto his back, you move in motions as his body tenses under your touch. “Can you just relax? You’re starting to be even more weird. Weirder than usual.”

“Weirder than usual?” He reiterates, words a bit muffled from his cheek being crushed. “I’m not being weird.”

“Yes, you are.” You retort sternly, slapping his lower back to insinuate your completion of the task. “All morning. You said you slept, but I can tell you didn’t because well... look at your eyebags! Jeon, what’s wrong with you?”

“Don’t worry about it! Let’s enjoy the day.” He says, finishing up the rest of his body before giving you a wave and jumping into the water.

Jungkook is and always will be insufferable.

Your favorite part of any beach trip is when the sun begins to set, the breeze from the ocean kicking in, and the fragrance of the salty sea is inhaled into your lungs, bringing you a sense of peace and tranquility. The best view along with this is Jungkook, who sits in the sand, feet and lower half of his body submerged in the water, enjoying the weather. The top of the evening was that both your stomachs are full with pizza for dinner.

Standing up from the little area that the two of you had made for yourselves, you invite yourself into a spot beside your best friend, resting your head on his shoulder. “This is nice. The weather, the water, just us. We haven’t had this in a while.”

Turning his head to glance at you, a soft smile appears on his lips. “We’re always together.”

“Not alone, not like this.” You sigh, fingers drawing shapes along the sand. “We’re usually with someone. Your team, Yura... anyone, really. I miss when it’s just the two of us. It feels like you’re afraid to actually be alone with me or something.”

“We have sleepovers though, what about that?”

“Do we ever really talk during movies? Then we sleep right after.”

Lately, it had occurred to you that despite all this “time” that you had been spending with Jungkook wasn’t really any time. Lunch had been inhabited by engaging with girls who crushed on Jungkook, and the remaining times were dedicated to socializing with Yura and his teammates. Movie nights were great, but silence would burden the room, and afterwards, he’d be too tired from a swim meet that he would fall asleep instantaneously. There was no more ‘you and Jungkook’ time. It felt like only just you.

“I guess... I really never thought of it like that.” He admits, fingers threading through his dampen locks. He senses the tenderness in your voice at the topic, a tightening feeling in his chest knowing that he’s the one making you feel this way. “I never paid attention to any of that. Did you feel that way for a while?”

“It’s alright though, just something I have to get used to.” Tearing your head off his shoulder, you lay your body completely onto the sand. “Sometimes I forget that we’re not together. It’s hard because there’s...” Sucking in a deep breath of courage, you continue. “... there’s a fine line between friendship and relationship. That’s why I didn’t want to... you know, have sex again. It felt as though you only wanted to do this because of sex.”

“What?” He interjects immediately, head snapping in your direction. “That’s crazy. I wanted to do it again because I was afraid I ruined it for you.”

“I thought I told you it was good enough!”

“But ‘good enough’ isn’t good enough for me. I love you, and I want to make you feel good, I want to make you feel what you’re worth, and that it wasn’t just some deployment to get rid of our virginities. I meant what I said, I really wanted to give mine to you.”

“Jungkook, you know I love you too. But don’t you want to do it with someone else?”

“No, I don’t. I don’t think you know what it means when I say that I love you.”

Furrowing your brows questioningly, you prop your head onto your arm. “What are you talking about.”

Sighing frustratedly at himself, he positions his body down completely beside yours, head resting on top of his forearm. “I’m in love with you. I thought that you’d never feel the same way about me. I know you thought I was sleeping last night, but I heard what you said.”

Your body is stunned rigid. Jungkook doesn’t stop. “You were my best friend since grade school, and I enjoyed every minute I got to spend with you. Truthfully, I think the time I started to fall for you was when we hit early high school and I realized that guys were chasing you. I never noticed it before, but seeing it then sparked a fire in me. I hated every one of them, even if they were a friend. Then again, who was I to tell these people that they couldn’t have you? I didn’t even have the guts to tell you how much I love you.”

Mouth agape, you inhale deeply. “I... you heard me last night?”

“Of course. I just... didn’t know how to react because what if I make you uncomfortable?”

“Uncomfortable? You’ve vomited, farted, and took a shit in the bathroom as I was showering, and now you’re worried if I’m uncomfortable?” Sitting up with sand sticking to your skin, you ignore the discomfort and lock your gaze with his. “Jungkook, I really meant what I said last night. I... didn’t think you’d ever like me back because you seemed like you weren’t interested in any relationship, honestly.”

“And I meant what I said when I told you that you’re the only girl in my life.”

Lips pursed in the reticence, you dig your toes into the ground, hesitant about speaking. “What does this make us now?” 

Hair pushed back from swimming earlier and cheeks flushed pink from either being sunburned or from finally confessing his feelings for you, he watches your actions. “Would you like to be my girlfriend?”

Everything is marginally outlandish on Monday morning after spending almost every waking moment with Jungkook over the weekend since the confession. There had been heated kisses, multiple cuddling sessions, and deep conversations that lasted through the hours of the night until one of you fell into a deep slumber.

But Monday morning? This means that the time together will include other people. Maybe less PDA, sure, but the thought of people finally knowing that the two of you were an item was... exhilarating, and if you were being forthright, you wanted to show off to the entire school population who Jungkook belonged to.

He’s standing outside of your house, waiting patiently with his car grunting after the start, leaning against the hood with a bright grin spread across his face. “Hi.”

“Hi.”

“You look beautiful today.” You think he looks cute smiling cheekily like this. He actually looks like an idiot in other people’s eyes because of how dorky he is.

“I look like this everyday.”

“I know. That just means you’re beautiful everyday.”

Clicking your tongue at the cheesy comment, you make your way down the steps of your front porch as he opens the passenger door for you. “Well, this is new. You’ve never done this before?”

“I’ve also never had a real serious girlfriend before, and here we are.”

“If I knew what I was signing up for, I don’t think I would’ve agreed to this.” He’s in the driver’s seat at this moment, eyes still darting hearts in your direction as he gives your nose a gentle peck. “I’m just happy you’re mine now.”

“So... I take it as you told him you love him?” Yura’s doing the thing where she’s stuffing food in her mouth as she talks, but this time it’s some type of Japanese bread she raves about. “Yura... you’re getting bread all over my desk.”

She rolls her eyes in response, showing you her hand before swiping the crumbs off the surface. “Done-zo. So what now? You guys are dating? Are you going to be one of those girls who will wear their boyfriend’s varsity jacket all around the school? Possibly flaunting that you were able to claim the untouchable Jeon Jungkook?”

“You’re being dramatic.”

“No, you’re not being dramatic enough. What? How long has he been head over heels for you and you had no clue? Not even an ounce?”

“A decade?”

“A fucking decade, my dude. Don’t you just want to show off your new relationship because you’ve waited so long for this moment?”

Pulling off a piece of Yura’s bread, you shove some in her mouth. “Stop talking please, this is so embarrassing.”

“What’s so embarrassing about it?” She accidentally spits a bit of the bread in your face as you scrunch your nose in disgust, wiping off your cheek. “Yura!”

“Sorry. Anyway, what’s so embarrassing about it? You’re acting like he’s some guy who has done bad things and you were desperate enough to settle for a loser. This is your best friend, a potential professional swimmer, who is now your boyfriend. What’s up?”

“I’m kind of scared that all these girls are going to hate me now.” Yura scoffs at your response, shoving the remaining portion of bread in your direction. “You need some sweetness in your morning if you’re going to have such negative thoughts this early in the day.”

“And what about you? Didn’t you also say you had some crush on a guy?”

She waves her hand in dismissal, grabbing another piece of the carb. “He’s my brother’s best friend, not even an arms reach. Let’s switch the topic back to you, though.”

“I don’t want to talk about it anymore!” You grunted. “Well, too bad because Mr. Stole-Your-Heart is walking here now.”

Shooting your head around, you’re met with a beaming Jungkook with his swimming duffle slung over his shoulder as Hoseok trails behind. “Hi.”

“Hi.”

“We keep greeting like this.”

“So we have.”

“Am I missing something here?” Hoseok impedes into the conversation, perplexity written all over his face. “Why are you guys talking like you haven’t been friends for years now?”

“Well,” Yura begins, eying the male. “They haven’t been dating for years so it’s still fresh. Hence the awkwardness.”

“Wait— you’re dating each other?” Appalled, he stumbles onto a desk behind him, hand over his chest. “You actually told her you loved her? This is crazy. Does this mean that you’re also the girl he keeps talking about that he lost his virginity to?”

Blood rushes to your cheeks, glowing coral. “Potentially.”

Adjusting the straps of his backpack on his shoulders, he straightens himself before twirling his body around to exit the classroom. “Sorry bro, I gotta let the team know. I can’t believe you actually went through with it!”

“Hoseok—” Jungkook rubs his face tiredly when his friend leave before giving you an apologetic look. “I’m going to chase after him. I’ll see you after class?”

“I’ll see you after class,” You confirm, and surprisingly enough, he leans in to give you a quick goodbye kiss before waving at Yura.

Yura’s eyes bulged to the point it looked like it would fall out of its sockets. “He— he actually did that? How much did I actually miss? Did you guys do it again?”

“How many questions are you going to ask?”

“All of them. Any single one that pops into my head. How could I not ask you any of these questions? What’s the point of being your friend if I can’t!” Yura jokes and you retaliate by throwing a pen at her.

“Look at who has arrived! The woman who has tamed our special Kook’s heart!” Namjoon exclaims brightly at the sight of you entering the pool’s arena, backpack over your shoulder as you make your way to your designated spot in the bleachers. “Jesus, stop embarrassing her.” Jungkook counters, pushing the guys away from your seat.

“Aw, come on. We never got to interrogate her as your girlfriend!”

“Isn’t interrogating her as my friend enough?”

“No,” Jin chimes in. “We didn’t get to ask her the girlfriend questions yet.”

Jungkook scowls at his teammates who bluster him at five against one. “What are you going to ask? I’ll answer for her.” 

“Is she the one you lost your virginity to?”

“When did this happen?”

“Is Jungkook even good in bed? He just looks good but what about his delivery—“

“Whoa, whoa whoa!” Jungkook interrupts, dropping his bag onto the ground. “My delivery? You’re questioning my performance?”

“Performance?” Standing beside you at the bleachers, the entire swim team turns their heads in unison at the voice, faces gleaming at the owner of the voice.

“Taehyung!”

“What’s wrong with Jungkook’s performance?” He raises a brow quizzically, adjusting his own bag that hands across his chest. “He’s a great swimmer.”

Hoseok has his arm around the other male, leading him toward the locker room. “Our little Kook has a girlfriend now, and we’re trying to interrogate his girlfriend about his performance.”

“Jungkook has a girlfriend?” When Jimin responds with your name, Taehyung’s gaze meets your figure as you’re leaning comfortably in the spaces between the bleachers, legs pressed against your chest with AirPods occupying your ears and a book in your hand. 

He never said, but Taehyung always had a slight crush on you. The rest of the swim team, including you, had all been around the same age, but he’d be ahead of the crowd in regards to education, therefore graduated earlier than the rest. Earning a swimming scholarship to study abroad restricted himself from ever letting you know his true feelings, but coming back around meant he could take the opportunity to at least let you know how he felt.

But he was too late. Or so you’d think.

“I got this for you, from the States, that is.” 

“A mug?” Lifting up the Starbucks cup in your hand that he wrapped in a bow so carefully, you’re afraid that you’d accidentally unravel it. Grinning from cheek to cheek, your eyes meet with his. “New York?”

“I visited New York for a little bit before coming back here. Thought of you when I saw that. Figured you would like it.”

Gingerly placing the gift back into its bag, you pull out another item that Taehyun has packed for you. “What— what’s this?” He has a mischievous smile washing over his face, tugging at the bow tie around the plush in your hands.

“A sloth.”

“A sloth?”

Taehyung nods in return, hands slipping into the front pockets of his jeans. “You remind me of a sloth. Always so tired, moves slow sometimes—”

“Tae, are you insulting me?” Laughing at your reaction, he immediately shakes his head in discrepancy. “No, it’s a good thing really. You’re cute, and sloths are cute. Grounded, even though they’re in the trees, relaxing to be around, and you can’t help but to like them.”

Nodding in response, you hold the stuffed animal in your arms, content with his answer. “I’ll take that. I really like this, Taehyung. You didn’t have to bring this back for me.”

“Of course I had to bring you something back.” He bends forward, playfully pinching your nose. “You were always coming to our games to support us. Anyways, there’s a letter in the envelope when you get the chance to look more thoroughly.”

“Yep. Well, if you’d excuse me, they’re going to nag at me for leaving the locker room so suddenly instead of getting dressed to practice with them. I’ll catch you later?” You bow your head in agreement as you watch him run in the route of the locker room before searching through the bag before your fingers meet with a thick piece of paper.

Your name is written on the front of the pink envelope. Something makes your stomach churn at the appearance of the item. Inhaling deeply, you tear off the flap, a little too aggressively that the note falls out and onto the floor.

“What’s this?” Jungkook asks, picking up the mysterious paper, handing it to you. “Who gave you that?”

“Uh... Taehyung.”

The control brains: Y eah. We can’t have a fully aware hive queen. Let’s re-encode her and still try to use her powers somehow. 

Tak, after being re-encoded thrice: 

Even though she is loyal enough to want to conquer a planet for the empire, she DOESN’T use the invader or even the Irken empire’s insignia on ANY of her equipment. The circle and upside-down triangle is the symbol of the Yura clan-- something that no modern Irken should know about. Because the Yura were the last to fall to the control brains during Irk’s civil war, they were expunged from all modern records. Only a small amount of DNA was collected from them as opposed to other clans, as well, which explains why purple eyes are such a rare trait amongst modern Irkens. 

And yes, although the symbol with the curled antennae is known to modern Irkens as the female Irken insignia, Tak would have no reason to use it in that context because there is no such thing as gender discrimination amongst Irkens. She isn’t the first female-identifying invader. It’s normal for male, female, and third-gendered Irkens to live and train together in the military academy. 

No, she subconsciously remembers that that is the hive queen insignia. And despite Tak’s favourite colour being purple, the insignias are in red or black. Those colours are associated with Takshi. 

Speaking of which, since Irkens can choose their own names, the fact that Tak chose her name is very significant. “Tak” is an OLD IRKEN term. The modern Irken term for “night/darkness” is “tash.” Due to the control brains being suspicious of descendants of Yura, her name and mythology were also expunged from all records. And yet, a smeet a million years later is naming herself “Tak.” The very same smeet that was prophesied to “consume the control brains with darkness” (another nod to Takshi) by the last known Yura hive queen, Malka. 

Coincidence?? I think not.

Sorry other concerns got me a bit behind here, but a couple days ago, Ye Olde Otomate Neo Ange Twitter released the above teaser images.  I’m pretty sure we could pastiche together the complete portrait of Rene at this point.

The account also confirmed that all the established seiyuu are coming back (save Ange’s actress from Abyss; Ange’s probably not going to be voiced, per otome game tradition).

Also, as talvikielo mentioned in the previous post, the new (?) character has a name: カミーユ, which is most likely “Camille.” Get your Zeta Gundam jokes ready.
