I hate how the most mysterious characters in the house is the fucking golden retriever vampire and the Dilbert-looking guy
I know that we know stuff about Nandor and it doesn't feel like he's mysterious because he's Nandor but he IS. And I know that we don't know much about Colin Robinson, because he's supposed to be this boring guy but I wanna know what he was up to before the others came along.
We know quite a lot of the human life of the other vampires and pre-house life of Guillermo :
Nadja : born in the 15th century, grew up very poor in a big family in Antipaxos, they were discriminated against because of their Gypsy blood. She lost a lot of family members (like her mom who was eaten by a bear) and the conditions she lived through made her the tough bitch we know her as. She either was turned by a vampire disguised as a serpent while she was throat-singing or by the Baron Afanas and chased off by her family and the villagers of her island. We know she's interested in fashion and music (songwriter and singer).
Laszlo : born in 1711, grew up rich and noble in England and was brought up by his nanny. He received an education and even went to Eton from where he was kicked out. He was turned by Nadja, was in the Sherwood Club, left it, met Sigmund Freud, was a sailor, was a pornstar, was Jack the Ripper, turned Elvis Presley, wrote famous songs with Nadja and we know about his interests (music, sciences, sculpting, cinema, porn).
Guillermo : born in 1992, was raised by a single mom in a lower class household in the Bronx. He's fascinated by vampires and wants to become one since he saw Antonio Banderas in Interview with the Vampire. He went to public schools. He was bullied through highschool with his best friend Jeremy. After highschool he went to work at a Panera Bread and met Nandor. He draws, seems to like Lego and watching TV and movies.
And then we have the other two :
Colin Robinson : born in 1921, apparently had a relatively normal childhood with normal parents, his father was a "Rupaul-type" person and his mother was boring and still is and we met his grandma once. He's 100% white. He likes his roommates, belly dancing and sifting through human shit??
Nandor the Relentless : born in 1262,had a mom and dad, was a soldier then a general in the Ottoman Empire, trained in the Al-Qolanudar army and became Supreme Viceroy of Al-Qolanudar at 17. Had a horse, Jahan, considered best friend that he had to eat to survive. Ransacked and pillaged many villages (including Nadja's) and was nicknamed "the Relentless" from said pillagings. Had 37 wives, was turned at some point and his wives left him. Was driven out of his country by peasants. He likes reading, dancing and basketball.
THAT'S ALL WE FUCKING KNOW.
And we don't even know if he was a Viceroy before or after training in the army. I have being saying lies like "oh Nandor was so good he rose through the ranks, he came from nothing blablabla" we don't know if he was born noble or peasant. We don't know how, why or when he was turned. We don't know any hindsight on how he felt in the army or what he did as a Viceroy or what he did after he was driven out THE GUY IS TOO MYSTERIOUS PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF NANDOR PLEASEPLEASEPLE-
Edit :forgot Nandor liked basketball smh
Edit2 : Laszlo told us his age in s1 I can't believe I didn't noticed the moment he said it

Billionaire AU | In this universe there's no cursed techniques or anything of the Jujutsu World. A wealthy individual known as Gojo Satoru, happens to take a stroll around town after a busy afternoon at his company. He stumbles across a woman, whose life is completely different from his own. As a busy man, he simply passes by her when she asks for some change for food. What happens when this becomes a routine and sees her everyday after work in the same spot, with nowhere to go? 
No JJK Spoilers :) 
Gojo x Y/N
Word Count : 2.7k
————————————————
Gojo Satoru has always been a successful individual, it's just how it is. Through his looks, he's able to charm anyone. The intimidation factor he holds is incomparable. Cunning, sharp, bold, and intelligent is what he's known for in the business world. He is a one man army, a force to be reckoned with, that no one dares to go against his decisions in his field of work. At 17 known as a prodigy from Jujutsu High School, he's always had it all. To those who know him personally, his character is all over the place. Unpredictable fits him better. 
It was the fall season in Japan, the sky today was a bit gray as it was breezy. Though not where his assistant was ordered to grab his lavish coat to stay warm. His day today was nothing but business meetings and phone calls. Yet another dull day for him. At first it was entertaining for him, to see the looks of a much older business man fall below his increasing status. He was amused to take over the market in such a short time by his growing influence. He had everyone wrapped around his finger, he was a puppeteer. Nonetheless, he's been growing bored as of recently. He had it all. Money, power, fame, properties….. now what? 
After finishing a meeting, despite his assistants telling him he has another one in 30 minutes, he puts on his coat and leaves his office. Obviously he’ll come back but he wants a much needed break from all this work talk. He puts on his coat hood and a face mask to not be recognized in public. Usually he enjoys people asking for autographs and the paparazzi, what can he say? He loves the attention. But today he just can't deal with it all. 
For about 15 minutes, he goes strolling around the streets of Japan. The sun is starting to set, he should be heading back to his company's building. But a few more minutes wouldn't hurt. He walks until he sees a woman approaching him with her small cup. He stops and notices her attire, raggy old clothes, dirty white sneakers that are crumbling at this point, and her hair is messy. 
“Excuse me, but can you please spare any change?” she says softly as she shakes her cup towards him. The sounds of some coins clinking from inside the cup echoes in his ear. He looks at her face, though she looks frail, she's pretty. Really pretty actually. He mentally sighs at himself.
“I don't have any” he says in his laid-back tone as he shrugs. He's lying. Of course he has money but he doesn't see why he needs to give this stranger some money. He’s used to people using him for that. He sees her eyes look at his own attire. He internally curses at himself, he's wearing expensive clothing, now he's been caught in his lie. This woman is probably gonna keep bothering him and try guilting him into giving him some cash. 
“Oh, thank you anyways. Have a nice day” she says as she walks away to go ask another bystander for any change. Gojo was a little caught off guard, he expected her to call him out but she just left him be. Damn, now he feels kinda bad. He groans as he just decides to return to his building, remembering he had a meeting. 
After that day, occasionally Gojo would take his usual walks during his free time to escape the tedious business meetings. And everytime he would see her when he walked down that block. She asks him the same question whenever he passes by if he has any change, and he always just says no and keeps walking. Out of curiosity, while she's near, he always peeks at the cup in her hand. Some days it had some dollars, some days only coins were present. Seeing her for a straight month was the usual for him now. 
——
Today was a bit different. Gojo left his building quite late, it was night time and a chilly one at that. He was staring boredly out the window of the SUV that is driving him home, courtesy of his chauffeur. The car halts at a red traffic light at the block he usually sees her. As he stares out the window, his eyes slightly widen when he sees her. She's sitting in a cardboard box, curled up in a ball sleeping. 
That's where she sleeps? I thought she would have at least had a tent. It's cold out there. 
He watches her for a moment and just thinks. The traffic light eventually turns green and the chauffeur keeps driving Gojo to his penthouse.
——
The next day comes and he goes on his regular walk on his break. He reaches that block and there she is as usual. The same routine happens as walks over to him.
“Excuse me, but can you please spare any change?” she says in that gentle voice of hers as  she shakes her cup towards him. 
This time however, Gojo stares at her for a few moments. Yesterday's evening replayed in his mind, the image of her sleeping in that cardboard box out in the cold. To Y/N's surprise, she sees him reach into his pocket and take out his wallet.
Gojo thinks about how much he should give her, he doesn't go shopping. Usually his assistants do that for him. 
So how much would it be for her to get some warm clothes or food?
He grabs a 100$ bill from his wallet and assumes this should be good. He puts the dollar bill in her cup and looks at her. He freezes when he sees her expression. Her eyes are watery as she looks up at him. Gojo isnt used to dealing with people crying, should he say something?
“Agh- hey are you okay? What's wrong?” he says as he looks down at her small frame.
Y/N sniffles and wipes away her tears that have fallen onto her cheek. “S-sorry I just…. this is too much, I never received such a big amount from one person. Are you sure?” she says as she stares into his eyes. Deep down she wonders who this mysterious man with his hood and mask on is. She can see some white hair strands and only his eyes. His eyes are icy blue, they are so captivating and pretty. He has been walking this way for the past month and only now he gives her money, she wonders why now. 
Gojo hears her question and nods towards her, “It's alright, don't worry.” 
“Thank you so much! You're very kind” she says bowing slightly to thank him, extremely thankful. She hears footsteps walking away and looks up to see him already heading off. Gojo thinks about her words and the expression she made.
You're wrong… im not kind. 
Y/N watches him walk further down the block but she can't help but be curious. He's so mysterious but he seems kind. Though he’s never given her money but today, he was never rude or told her to fuck off like other people. She grips her small money cup a little, gaining courage as she says out loud “What's your name!”
Gojo hears her and stops in his tracks. He turns around to look at her and gives her a smile though she can't see it due to his face mask, “It’s Gojo.”
And with that he disappears around the corner. 
——
The next week he goes on a stroll again. Y/N sees him walking and she smiles happily, she hoped to see him again. She takes a deep breath and walks over to him “G-Gojo good afternoon” she says softly as she greets him.
Gojo looks over and is a little shocked to see her greet him so warmly and the fact she even remembered his name. He notices she's wearing new warm clothes, and his body relaxes; he feels glad. He nods to her in acknowledgement “To you as well.”
He notices she's holding her cup down, not asking him for any change. 
“I just wanted to say… I hope you have a good day at work” she says with a smile, as she waves bye to him assuming he's going to keep walking.
For some reason he feels warm at that smile of hers. He doesn't go immediately however as he digs in his pocket for something, “hey… what's your name?” 
“Oh- my name is Y/N” she says looking at him curiously. 
“Y/N huh…” he repeats her name gently as he takes out his wallet and puts a 20$ bill in her cup as he continues walking away. Doing a small wave saying bye to her without looking back. She didn't even have time to deny the money he gave her. She wasn't going to ask him for money since he already gave her so much last week. But before she knew it, he turned the corner and left. Her smile only brightens up even more. 
I want to talk to him more. 
——
As a month or so goes on, the two get closer. Gojo is now taking walks more frequently and he even now sticks around with Y/N as they talk. She's so bubbly, warm and inviting. Sometimes he finds himself getting lost in her eyes. Despite her hardships, she has such a gentle soul. He feels like he can relax and be himself with her.
Y/N finds herself being more curious everytime Gojo comes around and speaks to her. At first she thought he was quiet but soon he started becoming more open. He was loud, silly and very funny to her. A true jokester at heart. Seems like he just needed time to feel comfortable around her. 
She can't help but blush when he pats her head and pinches her cheek. Hell she hasn't even seen his full face. He always wears a face mask and a hat or hood. She wonders why, is he known around here or something? She's too shy to ask so she doesn't and leaves it be. 
——
Gojo was in the backseat of the car, being driven home by his chauffeur after a long day of meetings once again. He listens to the car radio as he daydreams “-and for tonight's weather broadcasts, make sure to be by the fireplace tonight folks! Because we are in for a snowstorm for the first time in years. Make sure to bundle up!” 
At first Gojo thought nothing of it, it was just snow. It took him a few moments as the car passed by that street. His blue eyes looking at her tent (that she bought 2 weeks ago courtesy of gojo) as the car passes by. A few heartbeats pass and then he freezes. 
Wait a snow storm? Tonight? Her tent is stable but it will be freezing for her. Damn it all. Screw it. I can’t leave her out there. 
“Go back to the last block, I need to pick someone up” Gojo says to the chauffeur calmly but firm as this is Y/N he’s talking about. 
“Certainly sir. If I may ask, who is this person?” the chauffeur says as he does a U-Turn and starts driving back. 
“Someone I care for” Gojo says with a warm tone as he smiles to himself at the mere thought of her. The chauffeur pulls over where Gojo says so, which is at the corner of the block. He tells the driver he will be back and to wait. 
Gojo exits the car and quickly makes his way over to Y/N's tent. He taps against the tent and speaks softly to hopefully not scare her “Y/N it’s me Gojo. Are you awake?”
After a few seconds Y/N stirs awake as she hears someone speaking, she's immediately on alert but relaxes when she hears it’s Gojo. She opens her tent rubbing her eyes awake, “Gojo? It’s late…. What’s wrong-“ 
She cuts herself off when she sees him crouching down and smiling at her. He’s talking to her but she can’t seem to focus on that. She’s looking at his face. After 2 months she is finally seeing him in all his glory and she’s stunned. 
What the hell?! He’s so attractive! He has to be some sort of model or just plain ole famous in general. That’s probably why he is always wearing a mask and hood. I can’t focus on what he’s saying. My heart feels like it’s going crazy- 
“Y/N? Are you even listening to me?” he says waving a hand in her face. She immediately shakes her head and tries hiding the blush on her cheeks. 
“S-Sorry it’s just that… I didn’t expect you to look like that” 
Gojo looks confused for a second til he realizes this is the first time she’s seen his face fully. He laughs out loud “Why so shocked? I know I’m kinda hot. Feel free to faint at the sight of me,” he says as he grins per his confident attitude.
Y/N looks away flustered as she nods, “y-yeah… so why are you here so late?” 
Gojo notices she’s blushing as he pauses for a moment. As he hears her agree to his words, he looks away as he feels like own self suddenly grow flustered. 
What’s wrong with me? I’m used to the media giving me compliments but it’s different coming from her. She’s so adorable. 
He clears his throat to gather himself as she looks back at her with a smile.
“There’s going to be a snowstorm tonight and I don’t think this thin tent is going to be good for a small woman like yourself to keep you warm. So I’m here to rescue this damsel in distress,” he grins as he scoops her up easily and starts walking away to the SUV. Leaving everything behind without hesitation.
“W-wait where are we going!?” she says blushing at the physical contact and the sudden statement. 
“Actually I’ve been meaning to do this for a while but I didn’t think you would trust me yet. But  now is the perfect opportunity. So from here on out you're going to be living with me!” he says smirking as he makes it to the car and sets her down on the floor. He doesn’t let her argue as he ushers her in and hops in the backseat with her. The chauffeur is completely stunned at what just happened but simply starts driving to Gojos penthouse. 
“What?! But this is too much! I can’t just live with you!” she says quickly and completely shocked. 
“It’s fineeee, I have a guest bedroom anyways. You're not bothering anyone, so I’m not taking no for an answer,” he says confidently as he pinches her cheeks to which she whines “Gojoooo let goooo!” 
He laughs out loud as he looks at her. 
She’s beautiful. I want her to keep smiling. 
He leans over resting his head on her shoulder, grabbing her hand and playing with her fingers. She blushes hard and looks anywhere but him, to shy to look. 
He’s so touchy lately… but I don’t mind. 
Gojo thinks as he plays with her fingers, he wants to keep her close. Now he has a reason to live his life. Ever since he met her, his world has gotten brighter. He feels happy with her, like he finally found his purpose of living. 
He’s going to stay with her and never let go. As he stares at her face, he knows she feels the same. But for now they’ll start off slow. Well… he will give her a week til he’ll confess. Gojo was never a patient man to begin with. 
“Hold still I am exhausted from work!” he says as he mischievously grins at her at a plan he had in his head.
“Gojo what are you doing!” Y/N says blushing as she sees him inching closer. 
30 minutes later
The chauffeur pulls into the driveway and puts the car into park. He yawns and stretches, “Sir we’re here-“. He pauses mid sentence as he turns around to see Gojo and Y/N sleeping in the backseat. Small Y/N sleeping against the car door as Gojo is slumped against her snoring loud. He's koala hugging Y/N so much that it’s almost like she’s in a cocoon. The chauffeur has to hold in his laughter to not wake them up. He looks at the two and smiles hard as realization hits him, “ah young love I see.”

i really love how you write the strawhat pirates <33 i swear everytime i see your works on my feed, it never ceases to makes my day ゚+.゚(*´∀`)b゚+.゚
i saw your request is open, can i request for an usopp x reader where reader's feelings are unrequited?
thank u for always bringing joy to the feed with your amazing works ゚+.゚
Ahoy! I'm happy you love my works for the Strawhats, and I'm happy to fulfill this angst request! ^-^ I hope you don't mind me using it for Whumptober :3
Whumptober Day 14
Usopp x Reader
Tumblr media
"You guys are going to be real sorry for messing with us!" Usopp said to the pirates who captured the two of you. "For I, Commander Usopp, command an army of ten thousand men!"
Even in a situation like this, you can't help but smile at Usopp's antics. On the other hand, the pirates didn't pay any mind to him.
"Separate them."
As you were dragged away, Usopp called out to you. "Don't worry [Y/n], I'll get us out of here. Just hold on!"
You smile at him, displaying your sign of trust in him. Soon enough you were taken to the cellar while you heard Usopp getting slapped and told to shut up. It'd take more than that to keep him quiet, you knew all too well.
Quite the journey it's been since you joined the strawhats, yet quite the silent pain you had to bear.
You knew Usopp only had his eyes for Kaya, you admired his determination to protect her and the village when you, Luffy, and the crew met him back in Syrup village. That's all it had been, admiration, then it changed, and you can't recall when it started.
Perhaps it's his bravery in fighting despite being terrified. Maybe all those funny tales he told amused you enough to start feeling warmer around him. You only realized it when you were training for the two years the crew took to get stronger, you found yourself doodling him in your downtime. When it hit, you cursed yourself and called yourself a fool.
Seeing him again your heart could hardly take it, on top of that he got ripped like Zoro. You couldn't even look at him without a blush colouring your cheeks, luckily Sanji distracted everyone from your odd behaviour, and with all the events the crew has gotten into since getting into the New World, you've managed to avoid being noticed.
With all the adventures, another thought came to your mind, maybe Usopp forgot about Kaya. However, as soon as the thought came to mind, it dispersed once you overheard Usopp talking to Nami about home in the East Blue, more specifically, Usopp was talking about Kaya...
The pirates left the area outside the cellar, slithered your hands to make work of the lock and opened it up with a pin in your hair. Pays off to be underrated, the enemy makes dumb mistakes like this. You ran out of the room and began looking for an escape out of the place when you bumped into someone.
"Oof- [Y/n]?" His surprise shifted to a teasing smirk. "What are you doing, I'm supposed to rescue you."
You turned around, not letting him see the pink on your cheeks. "As much as I'd love that, we'd be wasting time if I sat around waiting, let's find the exit-" You moved to continue searching when Usopp grabbed your arm.
"Wait a minute."
"Usopp, we got no time for this, come on." You tried pulling your arm out of his grasp but he only tightened his hold.
"Don't think I haven't noticed."
"Noticed what?"
"You being distant."
"What are you talking about?" You stopped tugging your arm and half turned to him.
"[Y/n], this is the first time we've had a full conversation in two years."
"Heh, well it's been kinda hard since our captain has us running around almost every second of the day," you tried playing it off, even adding a smile.
"We could've chatted at the banquets."
"Hard to find you in a crowd," you lied with a shrug.
"Apparently it is, I couldn't find you anywhere near me." Usopp frowned. "The rest of the crew have no problem though."
Silence strikes through as the facade begins to fall. You go to speak when Usopp's expression shifts and he pulls you into a small closet, and you are smacked right at his chest. You try to protest when Usopp shushes you.
"They're coming," He whispers.
Sure enough, you heard footsteps and men barking. You tried focusing on what they were saying but your senses only screamed in your mind when you felt Usopp put his hand on your shoulderblade and held you closer. Rationality told you he was just doing this in a protective manner, yet your face burned from the contact. With what little room you had in the closet, you stepped back and removed his hand from your back, he glanced at you in questioning and just stared at the door.
"They're gone," Usopp said and instantly you opened the door, hopping out.
"Let's get going, we don't wanna worry the crew." You began running along the halls, and thanks to you adding urgency, Usopp followed behind.
You didn't think he'd noticed, at least not with all the chaotic events, but he did. If you didn't know better, your heart would've fluttered with joy, but you knew better, and your heart weighed heavier because of it.

your readings are so great tbh it’s nice to see people having such a connection with the universe! Do u think you could do an energy check on the members?
Thank you !! You're so nice !! I still have a lot to learn tbh, but im glad you love my readings !
As always,
For entertainment purposes only.
Jin:At the same time, he sees the military as a break from his idol life, but he also want a break from the military lol.A lot of it has got to do with him having to fight his nature.He's naturally a lot more laid back and fun than the circumstances mostly let him be.I think one of his past investments is growing while he isnt there, and the fruits are getting ready for whe he will come back.He is also torn between two options for a choice ( idk what tho).He is feeling out of touch with his purpose while understanding why this had to happen.It is helping him develop another side of himself, and he is learning to balance them.
NJ:He didnt want any cards, but hes saying he is thinking about things deeply.He seemed like i caught him off guard when he was in the middle of a reflection ?You know when people are trying to explain something to you but they are getting caught up in the cobwebs of their thoughts?Yeah, him rn.
Yoongi:OK so Yoongi teased me and dared me to do it with no cards.He said he is feeling quite peaceful and content/satisfied rn.It's the phase where the stage euphoria came down but youre not quite into post show blues yet.Just quiet, happy, calm, tranquil.Moving slowly, relaxed.I saw him going down a slow river sitting on a surfboard with his eyes closed.So yeah, nice.
Hobi:He seemed pretty excited to do the reading but the first card that came out was the Tower ??I think he is going through a very transformative phase but he is also really excited for it. A sense of oh finally.A lot of his fears and deep anxieties are coming down, he is cutting through them with a new sense of rationality and outspokenness(?) He is becoming less afraid of telling his truth and is not letting himself being held back and literally tied down by how other people see him.He is very strssed tho, and is using good old breathing techniques to relax. (Which kinda makes sense bc i feel like since the military his energy has been mostly quiet except for random burst of really wanting to talk, so i guess it is linked to his stress levels ?)
Jimin:I think he might have asked someone out recently and it went very well ?WHAT- PARK JIMIN GO BACK WITH YOUR 18+ STUFF NO-hm hm, so boy is having fun.In general, he is spending time on things and people he love, going out, learning new things, connecting or reconnecting with people, following where his passion and emotions lead him.He is also really enjoying having attention rn.
Tae:A part of him want to keep very private, but hes seeing around.As in learning things, discovering art he didnt know, a little imaginative.He has been hurt by public attention too much and wants to withdraw a little.He doesnt want ARMY to worry though, he just want us to understand he is human, and that would be hard on anyone. JK:Jk felt pumped up and talkative lol.So he learning to let things go and to find his joy in the things he has right now, he is learning to be happy.It is the end of a trial for him.He had many options and he thinks he picked right.It is the end of the phase.The next one might be the one where he meets his twin flame (if you have followed me for a while, you would know he insists on talking about them almost everytime lol).Their psychic link will strengthen like never before.He is in general quite happy with where he got in life and proud of himself for recent lessons he learned and went through

Jack In The Box, album by J-Hope
Notes: It’s time to express some of my thoughts regarding every member’s solo albums and singles. I’ve been putting it off for months. Let’s do it without further delay, starting with the first member to have released his solo album.
1. Intro: 9/10
Tumblr media
“It flapped its delicate wings as it danced around Pandora, lightly brushing against her shoulder.”
Basically it’s the story of Pandora in Greek Mythology and the origin of hope in the mortal world. If you haven’t heard it yet, this post is a sign for you to look it up (also check out Ted Ed’s video ‘The myth of Pandora’s box’ for more details). The narration of the story (J-Hope’s intro) is smooth and short. It sounds pleasing to the ears. And it is definitely a unique idea for his album’s intro. I believe what Hoseok’s been trying to tell is that what he is to the Armys is what hope is to all the people on earth.
2. Pandora’s Box: 10/10
Tumblr media
“J to the Hope, Jung to the Huimang, Jack in the box”
Only Hoseok can make a fine connection between a myth, a toy and his whole personality and also make total sense. It’s probably my first time listening to a song that is a retelling of a myth. And Hoseok did an amazing job here. The lyrics made my jaw drop, like literally. I said it once and I’ll say it a hundred times, BTS is one of the few artists who knows what poetry truly is. And this song is one of the many living proofs.
3. More: 8.5/10
Tumblr media
“My work makes me breathe. So I want more”
The first released song with the music video shook me a great deal like it did to many Armys I’m sure. The sunshine of the group in such a grim-emo kinda look was absolutely out of the blue. Nevertheless, this vibe suits him right. Comparing their passion for making art with an awful addiction is a thing BTS did in their early works too. I can see that theme portrayed from Hoseok’s perspective so well.
4. Stop: 6.5/10
Tumblr media
“The only belief that rules over me, ‘There are no bad people in the world’”
The struggle of freeing yourself of the innate nature of being judgmental is portrayed in this masterpiece. Shoutout to Hoseok for speaking about the truth of today's world and people’s values and ethics while still keeping an open mind, making sure not to judge anyone harshly. The lyrics definitely deserve praise. But personally I think it is not a song that I can listen to more than once.
5. = (Equal Sign): 7/10
Tumblr media
“Same, the breaths we breathe. Same, the dreams we dream of”
Yes! Sing it, J-hope. Who’s going to give us hope at times of despair if it isn’t you? The change is indeed soon to begin. We’re all in this together. Let’s make a better world without prejudice and hate. BTS, as well as us, the Armys; we believe in ‘Love’.
6. Music Box: Reflection: 10/10
Tumblr media
This one is actually brilliant. At first I played it on repeat many times a day. I even set it as my alarm ringtone and it is still there. I know, we shouldn’t be doing that because it makes us hate the music afterwards. But I still couldn’t grow to dislike it. This music has a whole aesthetic to it that makes me imagine myself in a music video everytime I play it.
7. What If...: 8.5/10
Tumblr media
“What if I have nothing?”
This one shows what Hoseok has been trying to portray through the whole album pretty directly. You can see him questioning his own personality. Is he really all sunshine and rainbows inside out? I mean, is that even possible for a human? You can hear his passion pouring out in the voice. Chef’s kiss to the bravery of finally speaking out; louder for the people on the back.
8. Safety Zone: 8/10
Tumblr media
“In my 20’s, I’m living an endless life”
It hurts when you look up a song and you find the lyrics so sad. The life of an idol is never really easy. People need to keep in mind that these idols are humans too. Give them some break for God’s sake. They talk about their struggles through their songs and yet we fail to see it. I really hope Hoseok finds peace and happiness that he deserves.
9. Future: 6.5/10

“Walking in the future, a step of hope”
The fact that Hoseok worries about his future too shows how much he is like us. After all, at the end of the day, we’re all human. Let’s keep our courage and step forward.
10. Arson: 10/10
Tumblr media
“Do I put out the fire or burn even brighter?”
Just think about the poetic effect of the last line of the last song. Even though I liked most of the songs from this album, Arson takes the trophy. The music, the lyrics, the mv, everything is just fine as fine can be. J-Hope never disappoints us with his unique ideas. I’m in love…
Notes: The album is a masterpiece and it deserves all the attention it got and more. Apart from the fact that the music and the beats are all kinda dope, we need to focus on its lyricism too. This album feels like a cry for help. We need to acknowledge Hoseok's struggle as an idol and try to sympathize. Let's try to become the best version of ourselves as fans and let our idols live a normal life while supporting them unconditionally.

Welcome back. To part 2, things i don't like and would change in red queen :)
Part 1 is here
The topic is: the pairings.
Imma just ripp the band aid off.
Shade and Farley
Evangeline and Elane
Cal and Kilorn
Mare and Maven
Now to explaining things.
First let's start with the cannon ones.
Shade. My boy Shade. To be quite honest. I did not want him with Farley. But it is mostly because we don't know much about them, which makes sense. Since we are seeing things through Mare and she is very self centered. But meh. Idk. Don't have a strong opinion of them.
Now. Evangeline and Elane. I could make another part about how Evangeline was shaping to be my fav characterer but the author just botched her(from the beginning mind you!). Uh. So unfair my love. Look. My only complain about these two is: it got a bit anoying. At first, everytime Evangeline metioned Elane i just got so hyped. Then, as things progressed i was hoping Evangeline would stop talking about this woman. Dear god. Like it got too much and it wasn't anything too relevant. Yes. We know you love her, Evangeline. Stop it. It just felt like this relationship was Evangeline's whole characterer with a daddy and mommy issues sprinkled there. And Elane was barely a character, we got to know SO LITTLE about her. Look. I can delve more into this later, when talking about how evangeline had so much potential but it never got to see the light of the page.
Now to the juicy pairings!!!
Cal and Kilorn
Maven and Mare
Lets start from the beginning.
Mare shoudn't have had those 3 boys lusting after her. She is so annoying.
Kilorn and Mare should've gone in any of those ways
Sibling kinda relationship. All the way. Always. They ALWAYS treat the other as a sibling!
Ooor, maybe, it could be "i love you, but not in this way. And i wish i did". As their romantic relatioship progress with the Calore, they go to each other more and more. After confort. And as they are held by the other, a single thought comes to their mind. "I wish it was you."
Tbh this seems like a soulmates au kinda prompt. A great one. A sad oneshot. Hmmm. Beautiful.
Mare and Maven.
With those two, i want something sickening, sordid, visceous. They are so obssessed with each other. Even though they shouldn't be.
Mare is the propaganda girl of the red army (or whatever, i don't remember the name in english), her ideals, her goals, all of it is a threath to Maven's. And vice versa. And yet...
They are bad for each other and yet.
Maven's feelings for Mare couldn't be erased by his mother.
Mare's was something that grew on her. First as love for that boy she used to know and then as hatred for the monster she later meets.
But this, the monster inside him, the emptyness of it all, just called to her. Made something horrendus, crawling, red inferno, disgusting and viscous like blood.
The anger she felt. The monster inside her had his name. And the beast inside him had hers.
Have no doubt, these two are toxic as hell. They hurt each other.
They are violent. They are loving. They are crazy. They are in love. They are obssessed.
I don't know if those two would fit in the same books as the others, because their tone is pretty dark. But maybe in amidst the series, (perphaps the third book?) they'd get a sole book narrated only by them.
the thing is, Maven is already on dark side. Mare just has to surrender herself to it.
But at the end, she would kill him. It matters not if she is dark or in love with Maven. She is loyal to her cause.
It would be such a wonderful scene. It maybe could be narrated by Maven.
"At the end, as the air leaves him, his vision was only Mare, droplets of tears falling into him, that he could not feel anymore. All he felt was her hands. Calloused.
It felt like a lovers embrace. Lulling him to sleep."
I don't know. But something along those lines. And aaaaah, me would cry and weep and moan and kakfkdnckdnd this would be a gem.
And then we would have our babyboy Kilorn and Cal.
Kilorn is a true red. And yes i did worded it in a bad way. I mean it in "he has no powers" and "he is part of the opressed".
I think Kilorn would help Cal understand, truly, how the reds suffer. How they are abused and scorned just for being considered lesser than. How afraid they are. How being powerless in this world can be daunting and make you feel hopeless in a cruel world where silvers consider and act as gods. And with their powers, they might as well be to the reds.
"'Do you think of yourself as a god, Tiberias?'
The question startles Cal at same time it enrages him. Of course not! But before he can say another word, Kilorn turns his attention to the people in front of him. Confused. Scared. Woeful. Mournful.
"I only see a scared boy. A flawed person. Who bleeds. Who yearns and dream. We are not that different."
Everything Cal did was for Mare. Kinda cute. But not really. I'd like if he truly changed his views. Saw how HIS people suffered. All through Kilorn's pov and doubts and fears.
Also Kilorn is a man of the sea. Of the nature. He would bring the taste of freedom to Cal. And that could be such a good paralel to Evangeline. While she had a taste of what could be and didn't want go back, wouldn't go back. Cal saw what could be, free. Without weight, expectations. And even then, he just couldn't let go of his past. Of his father. Of his legacy.
"It is everything i have left."
Maybe, they could even have a cute little scene in the sea learning how to fish. And getting over Cal's fear of the "ocean".
Cal would show to Kilorn that not all Silvers are bad. He is good right?? Thats gotta count for something!
He would try to assuage Kilorn's hatred for the silvers. For a while, it would work.
At the end, when Cal makes a tough choice, Kilorn is there, trying to stop him.
"Show me! You told me not all silvers are bad, then show me. Don't do it, Cal. Please."
Or to be a little more fitting to Kilorn he just storms out.
"He should've known. All damn Silvers are the same.
Breath in, breath out.
He doesn't look at Cal's face. Nor Mare's, Shade's or Farley's. He just storms out of the room.
He doen't know where he is going. That doesn't stop him.
Breath in, breath out.
He keeps going. And going. And going. And going.
BREATH IN, BREATH- DAMN IT!
He shouts to the heavens. All the rage and pain.
And heartbreak.
Damn it all. Why is his chest hurting so much?
Damn you, Cal.
He only noticed he is in the florest when he see the grass beneath him getting soaked by his tears."
Tbh, i actually want them to have a happy ending.
Cal and Mare? I think they would have a relationship much like Mare had with Farley. We are fighting together. You are dating someone i care for. That's it. Maybe could've delved a bit more, like "yaaaay bffs" but nah, dont think so. Tbh, i just don't wanna think about them. But yeah. Maybe friends. But not too close.
Next topic: how i hate how strong Mare is and how my baby Evangeline was wronged.
And it is here :)

*rollerblades into your blog carrying two starbucks* so i heard you had thoughts about a rotbtd pjo au? 👀
Okay, buckle up my friends because this is going to be a very confusing, unnecessary, and bizarre trip.
Imagine this. Act I of a hypotetical RotBTD (and more!) PJO!AU.
You know how halfbloods have prophetic dreams or dreams about their past? One day, these dreams get out of control. Demigods at Camp Half-Blood keep having nightmares that sometimes become true, sometimes don't. Of course everyone is freaking out
Because a halfblood's life is never easy, Morpheus/Sandman, the god of dreams who could possibly help them with the problem, disappears
This is where our heroes, Merida, Jack, Rapunzel and Hiccup, get involved: they are assigned a quest to find him and a nice personalized prophecy which mentions The Big Four demigods who will defeat evil (yes I am that subtle)
(I'm still figuring out their backgrounds, so I can't give more details about the Four, sorryyy)
During their journey, we find out that behind the nightmare apocalypse there are Phobos and Deimos (Pitch Black and maybe Drago?), minor gods who want to make the halfbloods powerless so they can't fight for/with their parents anymore
Yadda yadda, character development happens, the four become besties, they beat the bad guys, no more nightmares, you know the drill. The gods even start claiming basically everyone who wasn't, minor gods included. And they lived happily ever after-
EXCEPT. The four (now officially nicknamed The Big Four) are the only people who heard the full prophecy, and they know that the last lines still haven't come true. Cue dramatic cliffhanger
Act II!
Camp Half-Blood is going through a great period: there have never been so many kids and even if the gods don't talk to them that much (they must be very busy, right?), many heroic quests are being received (wow, who knew that the gods owned this many neat weapons and useful items we have to retrieve)
I won't repeat myself, I explained Red Shoes' arc here, just keep in mind that it roughly follows the movie plot
What I didn't mention is that Snow White finds the infamous golden apple the morning she's supposed to begin her quest and meet the F7. Is it a good luck charm from her mother? A trap? A prank? Near the climax she realizes what it actually means, while still searching for her father:
You see, only someone close to Aphrodite, a goddess, could secretly take it, someone like a god
Since gods can't directly intervene in their children's battles, that means that someone is trying to help them... Or warn them
It isn't about the myth, but its name. Apple of Discord (or is it Apple of Strife? Like, the official name, if someone knows please tell me). This person is sending a message: a war between the twelve olympians and the minor deities is going to break out if nothing is done about it
Yeah, turns out that Phobos and Deimos inspired other minor gods to rebel as well
That's why many new halfbloods were claimed, why they were assigned more quests than ever, to get weapons for their parents, to reinforce an army for both sides
Minor gods are tired of being left out and ignored, so are some of their children. Take Hans (from Frozen, not, you know Red Shoes'l), still un-claimed after years. Or Elsa and Jack, born from Boreas. Kubo, son of Nemesis. Agatha, ghost daughter of Hecate who found peace after Hades' son Norman confronted her. Regina (Snow White's stepmother), another daughter of Hecate:
Everytime something bad has happened, a minor god or their kid were involved
What happens next... is still work-in-progress. I have some more thinking to do 😅 I want to have Chaos involved in Act III somehow? Maybe he's the mastermind behind everything, and he was the one who influenced the gods to revolt, with his..... chaotic nature
And sorry for the late reply! I kept adding details to the list and it kinda got out of control

Momma is a badass?
Fandom: DC Pairing: Bruce Wayne x Batmom!reader (in the background) Word count: 1.4k Summary: Your Children don’t know about a big part of your past, but when the situation calls for it, they find out, one way or anotherm Requested by a hydrated Anon: since the request are kinda open. Can i request something where batmom was a former suicide squad member, now dating batman and the batkids dont know? Maybe they are in a dangerous fight against someone and the suicide squad helps them? only if this is okay for you. No pressure or something. Stay hydrated love
Tumblr media
Your children knew that you were a great fighter, one that could hold herself against Bruce easily, and they knew that you had been a vigilante long before you had met their father and fallen into the more domestic role of a part-time event-organizer and a full-time momma at day and a crime fighter at night. Sometimes they had tried to ask you and Bruce about what you had done for the most of your early adulthood, but they never found out anything about what happened between your 18th and 25th birthday. A few of them - mostly Tim, Steph and Damian - had thought about finding out the old-fashioned way, but everytime they seriously considered it they remembered that not once since you had taken them in as your children have you breached their privacy without a very, very good reason. So they quickly started to forget about it again and face their own problems. What none of your children had expected was that that blank on your resume was going to be filled on what was supposed to be an easy mission in Gotham’s Docks. You and Bruce were the ones who went, Tim on the Comms, only to find that three of the most dangerous and violent - but in themselves alone relatively small - crime families had “bonded” together to defeat the one thing that kept them from ‘rising to their true size’: Your family. The two of you were good, years of beating and defeating big baddies have shown so much, but not even the two of you were good enough to defeat the small army that was attacking you now. Under the hail of bullets that were raining down on you, a few of them hitting your body armour, but luckily not you, you barely managed to dive for cover behind a metal pillar. Looking over you were relieved to find Bruce behind cover too, seemingly not hurt. He nodded at you, most likely having the same thoughts about you, before talking to you and Tim over the Comms. “Red, we need everyone here asap, this is at least a code blue situation.” “Code blue? I thought this was just a quick in-and-out,” Tim asked surprised. “Just do it, no time to explain,” Bruce grunted as he threw a Batarang at a particularly bold individual that tried to break his cover, disarming him quickly and knocking him unconscious. “I contacted everyone, Nightwing and Red Hood are on their way, ETA is at least ten minute. Robin is preparing and will be there in five. Oracle is going to take over the Comms as soon as she’s online from her homebase and then I’ll hurry over with Black Bat. The others will try to come, but are indispensable at the moment,” Tim informed you and you could hear the almost inhumane quick tapping of his keyboard in the background. Before you had the chance to answer you noticed the small circular object rolling towards you and just almost managed to kick it away and shield yourself with your cape. “We don’t have enough time to wait for all of them!” you shouted over the sound of another explosion and when you looked over at Bruce you almost saw the internal conversation, “They’re on a mission not far from here, they could be here in five minutes.” “Who are you talking about?” Tim asked, but you and your husband just ignored him. “Do it!” Bruce said after he had to dive for a new cover when the pillar he was standing behind got damaged by another granate. Not waiting another second you pulled out a small button that was protected by a glass hood. You clicked the glass hood off and pushed the button, a little relief flooding you when you saw the blinking light below it implicate that the signal was received. Now you just had to survive long enough for your help to arrive. Tim and Cassandra, closely followed by Damian, arrived shortly after, but even with the five of you, you weren’t remotely able to do more than hold yourself against the seemingly never ending attack that got worse with every minute. When you heard the flapping of a chopper somewhere above you, you could have wept with joy, but soon got pulled back into reality when a bigger explosion rang through your ears and debris from the newly bombed open roof missed you by literal inches. After making sure neither your husband, not your children were hurt badly, you looked up to find that the chopper was not the one you had hoped for when you were looking directly into the barrel of a bomb launcher. The thought of retreating filled your mind, but before you could suggest, you saw the opposing chopper blow up in a haze of fire before a very familiar crazy laugh filled your ears - even if it was still half a mile or so away. More explosions rang through the enemy lines and the shift in power was immediately feelable. You had just won the upper hand. Five ropes were lowered around you and soon after you found yourself surrounded by your former team - or rather one version of it, the suicide squad never really being one to keep stagnate. “Did ‘ya miss us sugar?” Harley crackled as she fell around your neck, hugging you with one arm while the other was occupied with shooting an enemy that had been charging at the six of you. “You wouldn’t believe how much,” you smiled and - after quickly greeting the rest of the team - got back to fighting. Dick and Jason joined the fight shortly before the end - before your win - and were surprised by the people who were fighting in such a harmony with their mother that it looked like they had been fighting with you for years, but with the fight still going on they had little time to care about it too much. The twelve of you together had an easy time fighting against the gangs and it only took a few minutes more before you left unconscious, dead (the suicide squad had no no-killing rule after all) and tied up gang members for the police to lock up. The squad's chopper had been severely damaged during the fight so the five went with you to a second-emergency base on the outskirts of Gotham to wait for Waller to send them a pick-up, leaving you with a bit of time to catch up with your old mates. While you were laughing and talking to Harley, Rick, Floyd, Digger and Tatsu like you were old friends who haven’t seen each other in a while, Bruce standing a few feet behind you - keeping up his grim persona, but not stopping you from interacting with the (mostly) villains - your children were at the other side of the room completely dumbfounded at the way their mother was acting.
“Remember that time Waller almost blew up your head because you thought it was a good idea to play pranks in the base?” you asked laughing, the others joining you. “Yeah, well, how was I supposed to know she’d react to a bit of water like that,” Dagger shrugged, but smiled at the memory. “Can’t believe it’s been so long already since I left, it feels like yesterday I almost cut your eyes out,” you smiled - you much like Katana not having been there as a criminal, but rather as a guard yourself. “Hey, if you want back, we’d gladly take you in, I still think Waller considered planting a bomb in your head just so that you would come back and bring some order back,” Rick shrugged, but you just shook your head. “Thank you, but no thank you, I have a life here now. Also I don’t think Hubby would like that too much,” you giggled a little and blew a kiss at Bruce, who responded only with a stern nod in an interaction that your children would have usually found hilarious if they weren’t so occupied with staring. “Ya’know sugah, Ah love attention, Ah really do, but even Ah get uncomfortable if dah little batlings keep on starin’ like tha’,” Harley nudged your shoulder and nodded into the direction of your children. “Oh, don’t mind my little ones, they just didn’t know about my time at the suicide squad,” you shrugged, well aware that you were going to have a lot to explain later on.

Fluffy alphabet (A, B, C, E, I, J, K, L, N, R, U, and W) Floch edition
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Request : Could I please get fluff alphabet (season 4) Floch Forster A, B, C, E, I, J, K, L, N, R, U, and W with fem s/o please?
Author note : I’m sorry for taking so long hope you’ll enjoy this ♡
Warning : Fluffy / Spoiler from season 3 and 4 of Snk
Masterlist
Tumblr media
A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
Before the Shinganshima’s event, he used to take you on a date around the city. He took advantage of his situation in the army and the fact that the survey corps were popular to go to the city. Not only he could show you off but can also act all cocky telling you story about his adventure outside the wall. He talked a lot about himself but most of the time you didn’t mind cause you were quite curious about his life as a soldier and what he saw outside the wall since you never left your « comfort » if we can say that. Now, after the Shinganshima he decided to become a Yeagarist and let’s be honest after that, much to his dismay, he doesn’t have much free time. Which mean that everytime you two could have some quality times, he spends it with you in the comfort of your house, letting you pamper him because he craves your affection. So yeah you have spent a lot of time on your house chilling around. He is very ashamed of that because he wants the best for you. He kept whispering to himself that everything is for your safety and that after reaching his goal he’ll make it up for you.
B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
Honestly ? The way you can keep up with his shit. Floch isn’t an idiot and he knows that he can be a bother, a real dick sometimes, and the way you never were angry at him each time he was being en ass never felt to amaze him. Your calm and kind nature was something he really loves about you, the fact that he doesn’t have to be ashamed for who he is and that he can be natural around because you’ll find a way to make things right so Floch doesn’t end up having troubles. You’re his light, his arch. Now if we’re talking about physical aspect he is into your legs, there is something sexy and cute about it. The flesh, how soft it is, how they feel around his hand or against his cheeks. He is one of those leg’s simp you know ? Every aspect of your legs is attractive to him no matters if you are self-conscious about something, he loves them, deeply and won’t be afraid to put some sense into you each time you’ll say something bad about them. I’m not kidding you’ll be scolded because « your legs can hear you and they’ll feel sad » then proceeds to kiss them to reassure it that they are beautiful.
C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
I won’t lie he’s not in the top 3 of the best to deal with a panic attack or anything that involve him taking care of you. People might think it’s because he is being selfish as usual and wants all the attention to himself (well he kinda wants it but that’s not the real reason). To be honest he isn’t good in dealing is own insecurity, which could be seen with the way he is acting like a dick. He is not a natural dick, he is always doing it to reassure himself you know ? Like you can’t hurt me if I hurt you first. So yeah since he isn’t capable of controlling his own feelings, he is going to have a hard time dealing with your negative thought. He might even start panicking if he saw to get a huge crisis. After talking with some of his superior and his comrades from the survey corps he’ll learn one or two tricks to help you getting good and finding your breath. After some times, Floch will learn how to calm you whenever you’ll feel the need, he will also become a good reader meaning he’ll know each time you’re not feeling good. Depend on what you need to feel happy, he won’t hesitate to talk shit about his companion if it makes you laugh. It’ll take a long time but Floch would work harder to help you because he cares about you.
E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
Mostly dominant, Floch isn’t the one to talk about his feelings or the one to follow something. I’m not saying that he got trust issues but he went through a lot and his way to cope with everything : his trauma, his fear, his nightmares, his dark thought are to be in control. He needs to be one in charge all the time. It gave him the (fake) sensation of being strong. Now he is not a dictator, if something is bothering you just tell him, I might add that he expects you to say whenever something is bothering you because he can be oblivious. In bed he might be inclined to be a switch and let you have your way with him, when it came to a relationship he kinda needs to feel like he leads, again you don’t really feel like you’re being leaded by someone it’s just the way he talks or his posture that might betray the fact that he is the dominant one. These feelings got stronger after he joined the yeagarist, since he was « close » to Eren most of them believe that he was in charge of everything with Eren so it didn’t help his need of being the leader.
I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
After a couple of weeks of a relationship, most of people noticed that Floch was more inclined to talk « gently » with them or at least act like he cares about their opinion. People who were close to him also underline that he tends to not be all cocky and instead was getting more and more serious. As if your relationship helped him to grow up as a man you know ? He was more aware of his environment, of his companion, his surrounding. If Erwin gives him the goal of being a good leader, you on the other around help him to be a better human in the sense that he’ll stop being mean. Well let’s be honest. It would be a hard work cause it became a part of his personality but you’re here now. As mentioned earlier, you’re kinda a light for him even more you’re like his arch, his moral guide, your job as his significant other is to tell him when he went beyond the boundaries of someone nonetheless since his attitude is something deeply written in his personality it’s a work for life.
J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
I’d like to say that he is not jealous at all but let’s be honest he is. Now it’s not something bad where he’ll send someone to follow you and beat up each people that share the same breath as you. But, he is kinda possessive around you and even thought he is trusting you. He can’t help but feels some dark instinct each time someone is trying to get your attention. You were supposed to be attentive to him and only him, why would you give your attention to some deep shit ? He just loves you so much you know ? Also, he is kinda aware that people talked about his back like they’re underlined the fact that you are so nice, so beautiful like you’re way out of his league. They didn’t understand what got you around Floch, to them he wasn’t that interesting and was a huge dick they pity you which bothered him. As I said before, Floch knows that he is being a dick a lot of times and well he became a little bit (a lot) insecure about your relationship and can’t help but be afraid that one day you’ll wake up and leave him for someone better than him. Someone that would provide you the love you deserve because yeah he strongly believed that he is the selfish one in the relationship which is pretty true but he is not bad for you, and has his way to show you that he loves you. You know him, and were aware that if you’re feeling like he is being an ass to you, you can tell him. So yeah maybe he’ll be clingier when you’ll face someone that Floch believe is better than him, maybe he’ll kiss you in front of them to remind them that you belong to him, maybe he’ll be mean to them but he does that because he loves you.
K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
He is the part of those one who kiss you like it would be their last time. Maybe it’s because he is a part of the survey corps, maybe it’s because of his nightmares or his trauma but each time Floch kiss you it’s passionate, he kisses you deeply holds both of your cheeks or put a hand on your hair the other on your waist to keep you firmly against you. He might even push you against a wall so his body could be full against you, yeah he does it everytime and each time it felt like it would be your last kiss that you’ll share together. Even though he always came back to you, he can’t help but always hold you close as if you might disappear if he doesn’t do it. He is into French kiss even during your first kiss exchange he hasn’t hesitated and put his tongue against yours to taste you because he craves for it, he craves for you. You’re like a drug to him he is addicted to you.
Your first kiss didn’t feel like one, let me explain. You were dating for two weeks and much to your surprise each time you two went on a date he never tried to kiss you even thought it was written on his face that he wanted to do it. But he didn’t because he felt like you should give him the go-ahead, so he waited again and again before you finally gave him the sign he was waiting for. As he was walking you home feeling that today again you wouldn’t exchange a kiss with him except the sweet peck on his cheeks, he was about to leave you when he felt your hand around his wrist holding it. Floch didn’t much, he turned back and without a blink of an eye his lips crashed on yours. His hands naturally found their place on your neck and waist as he was deepened the kiss. It felt as if you two used to be lover because it felt natural and so good to you.
L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
I wish that he was a little bit more romantic but he doesn’t so as everything he does, it’s a bit blunt. Like when he met you, instantaneous he felt like attracted to you. So when he felt like everything went smoothly between you two (you’re not trying to yell at him punch his face for being mean for no reason), he asked you to go out with him. It was a date but he didn’t present it like this just in case you saw him as a friend and not a potential lover. Those dates who weren’t a date last a couple of weeks actually, each time Floch was trying something. First he brushes his hands against yours to see if you wouldn’t flinch but seeing that you moved your hands against his give him the ego boost he needed. Then, he started to put a hand on your lower back each time you would enter a shop or anything, next Floch will wrap his arm around your waist. Basically two months later you were acting like a couple without actually saying anything, whenever you got the occasion you brought him foods for his job, you would lean against him as he was putting his arm around you. Everyone was now teasing him because he didn’t have the gut to actually confess to you even though you were acting like his damn significant other.
So one night when you two were watching the stars sharing foods you brought earlier, he just holds your hands like he used to but this time, he also put his hand on your chin to move your face so you would face him. And he will just say it looking at you straight in these eyes while you were still eating your cake. You shouldn’t chuckle but you did because obviously he couldn’t wait for you to actually swallow your cake. He thought that everything was over because you were taking time but then you give him a kiss whispering to him that you felt the same so everything went fine.
N icknames - What do they call their s/o?
Most of the time he called you heaven because you’re like heaven for him, he doesn’t call you like that just to tease you it’s also a way of reminding you that you’re helping him so much growing as a man, you’re like his shelter now that he got you by his side he can’t picture a life without you. He tends to call you sweetie or cutie just because your cheeks got warmer and you became flustered.
There’s a particular nickname that he used only when he had to leave for a long mission, those one were he wasn’t sure to be back. During times like those, he called my love he sounds cliché I know but he called you like this each time he got the kiss of your life, both of his would hold your face as he looked at you tenderly. He will remind you that he loves you and will do everything to be back to you because he can’t live without you.
R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
He isn’t the romantic one but he isn’t the worst you know ? He is trying okay. It’s just each time he tries something to act romanticly he had to spoil it by being cocky, teasing you until you’re a mess. And when he is trying his best to bring you something, most of the time he forgot it. I can’t even count how many flowers he got spoiled because he forgot to bring it to you. But when it’s really important like your birthday, Floch will work hard to not only bring you as much as gifts as his wallet can but also to provide you the loveliest party as possible (or date if you want it to be more private). I’ll give him 6/10 like he is not the worst but he needs to work a lot on his romantic gesture.
That’s why when he wants something to be smooth, he asked everyone to give him ideas anything that might help him to please you. He mostly asks Armin because he is a genius and always seemed to think about great idea for a date, he kinda became his ally even though he’s still bitter against him ( you know about Erwin’s case).
U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
As mentioned earlier, it’ll take him time to understand you, for being able to read your properly. It’s not like he isn’t empathetic but he already struggled with his own insecurity, fear and trauma so obviously he is not the best to deal with emotion, feelings being down and everything. But if Floch feels like it’s burdening you in any way, he’ll work with you cause he can’t do it on his own. He’ll always ask you to tell him when something is wrong, to at least give him a sign when you feel like something isn’t good when you feel sad, when you are depressed. He got a list of each sign you decided to use to help him getting the signal that he has to be on your side.
After a couple of panic attack/emotional crisis, Floch would become one of the best to read you and prevent any form of bad thought. Insecurity ? Gone even though he is calling you a dumbs for thinking that you are not enough you have to admit that it’s working. Fear ? He’ll kill anyone that might put a finger on you. So I’m going to give him a 7/10 he is a good but he needs help coming from you to help you properly.
W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.
I shouldn’t say it because it was supposed to be a secret, but he stole you cloth. Not to wear it but he is stealing everything that got your scent each time he left for a mission, because he wants to have your smell/warmth with him whenever he is far away from you. It’s silly, it’s cliché and people would make fun of him if they’ll learn about it, but he can’t sleep properly for example if doesn’t have your shirt around him. He might use your t-shirt as a teddy to hold it close to him you know ? He is pretending that you are here with him and that everything is fine. He’ll mostly take your shirt/t-shirt because it’s small and convenient for him to put on his bag. He also got on his wallet a bunch of things that is supposed to remind him of you, like your favorite flower etc. What can I say ? He is a simp.

Childhood Friends
Change is harder to accept when it’s not happening to you
Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo had been inseparable since they’d met at a daycare on the corner of their street when they were but three years old.
Tommy’s Tiny parents dropped him off early that day, it wasn’t his first day going to this daycare, but something about it felt different. Tubbo’s human parents had taken him to this daycare before, but that had only lasted one day because Tubbo had bitten another child almost instantly apon arrival. They had waited a few weeks and really worked with him about biting, and were hoping this time would be more successful. Ranboo’s human parents dropped him off late at the daycare. They’d just moved to the area and were very nervous to leave their young son anywhere.
“Oh come now, everything is his size here! There are plenty of other kids to make friends with and he’s going to get so much better at talking while he’s here. There are many benefits to being around other kids his age. This is the safest place for him to be while you’re away at work!” The daycare worker was kind and cheerful, and Ranboo’s mother was incredibly grateful for her.
“I know. Well, alright baby, I’m going now, but I’ll be back before you know it!” Thought Ranboo did seem very distressed when his mom left his with this strange woman who was hardly bigger than himself, he did warm up to the play area pretty quick.
In fact there he was, building a precarious tower with only the red blocks when two boys who were wrestling off to the side suddenly flipped and rolled over, knocking over his tower and causing the tiny Ranboo to begin to wail.
Both boys looked very distressed at another kid crying, so they both dropped to their knees and began rebuilding the tower. When little Ranboo noticed this he quickly stopped crying and rushed in to help them.
This time, to make the tower taller, they also used the green blocks.
“Wow, we did it!” The blonde boy who’d been fighting before said once they all decided that it was done.
“We did it! My’s name Tubbo!” The brunette said before moving over to the costume bucket to take out a big fluffy hat.
“Mine Tommy!” The blonde responded. They both looked over at Ranboo expectantly.
“Ranboo.” Was his nervous response. Both boys broke into grins. They grabbed him by each arm and drug him to the costume area.
—-------
The boys had stayed inseparable throughout their daycare and preschool years, helping each other adjust to the human sized elementary school. Kindergarten was held in a tiny only part of the school, but once they entered 1st grade they entered the human sized portion of the school.
Though their classroom was still entirely tiny sized, they still participated in the school wide morning meetings in the auditorium and ate in the human sized cafeteria. Their class walked in their line through the weaving hallways that were along the wall about shoulder height for the human teachers.
Everything was perfect for the boys, they got to see each other everyday at school, they only lived a few streets from each other and they had playdates like every saturday. School fun, even if Tommy complained about writing their letters everytime it was even mentioned, they all three loved to learn.
It was the end of their second grade year that things changed.
It was a week into April when Tubbo collapsed at recess.
He’d been kinda out of it all day and he was playing a small role in the pirate game the boys had been working on for the last few days, when he just crumpled to the ground. The two boys playing with him looked over at him nervously. They’d been fighting the imaginary pirate army but Tubbo didn’t seem to be having much fun, had he finally decided to get involved? Did he get gravely injured by a cannonball? When the boys had rolled him over onto his back to ask if he was alright, his eyes were squeezed shut and he was crying. Tommy, the fastest of the three, agreed to go get a teacher while Ranboo stayed with him, petting his hair like his mom does with her fingertip when he gets hurt.
Tubbo left to go home early that day and Tommy and Ranboo didn't hear anything else about him.
He’s not at school the next day either.
Or the day after that.
The weekend comes and goes and when Monday finally rolled around the boys were convinced they’d never see their friend again.
But they did see Tubbo, upon entering the classroom that Monday morning they saw that Tubbo’s seat at the blue table was filled.
The two rushed over to him in excitement.
“Tubbo! You’re ok! Where have you been?” Tubbo smiled at his friends and quickly shot out of his seat to greet them.
“I’m human! I’ve got my growth spurt! Mum and dad say I’ll be human sized by the time we’re in third grade!” The two looked at the previous shortest of the group, he now towered over them by half an inch at least.
“Whoa! That's super cool Tubbo, now you’re going to fit in with your family!” Ranboo responded. Tubbo nodded and began to talk about all the things his parents told him were going to change. He was going to get his own human sized room and he would be moved to a human sized class next school year.
Tommy however was not as excited as the other two.
Tubbo was going to be moving classes next year, leaving them behind. He was going to leave Tommy and Ranboo behind.
What would happen when Tubbo got so big he couldn’t play with them anymore? Would they not be friends? Would he make better, human friends and never talk to them again? Was Tommy losing his best friend? That day after school when Tommy’s mum picked him up, he got buckled into the back and cried. She startled at the noise as she merged into the underground tunnels that Tinies used to get around.
“Tom? Tommy? What’s wrong baby?” She made brief eye contact with him in the rear view mirror.
“It’s just- just- just” He lets out another wail. She shushes him and they breathe together for a moment until he can tell his story.
“Tubbo is going to be human! And- and he’s going to get too big to play with us and he’s going to be in a big class next year and he won’t wanna be my friend no more!” His crying increased again so his mum began to speak.
“Oh come on Tommy, just because Tubbo’s going to get bigger doesn’t mean you won’t be friends. You’ll find new ways to play together, and yes, he will go to the big class next year, but once you get to fifth grade, the middle school, all the classes are mixed, and you’ll see him again. You and Tubbo are too close for this little roadblock to ruin your friendship.”
Tommy calms after that talk with his mum, and despite Tubbo’s increased reach and weird new clothes, nothing much has changed.
They still see Tubbo everyday and they still play at recess everyday. Tubbo isn’t the first or last to begin the transition into humanhood, but none were as dramatic about it as Tubbo. Most of their first spurts happen overnight or at least not at school.
Tommy’s confidence that everything was going to be okay doesn’t last forever, and by the start of summer Tommy’s just as worried as he was before.
Tubbo was now a little over a foot tall, absolutely enormous to Tommy and Ranboo as is, but it’s nowhere near how big he’s going to get.
Tubbo now dwarfs Tommy and Ranboo who are average sized for their three-and-a-half inch height, but Tubbo reaches far above even the tallest Tiny’s head.
He’s too big for the play equipment at school and too big to come spend the night at Tommy’s house anymore. Their playdates and sleepovers are exclusively at Tubbo or Ranboo’s house now, and it just makes Tommy feel out of place with his friends.
It doesn’t help that Ranboo has been fantasizing about when he starts to grow into a human.
“Ooh I can’t wait until I start transitioning!” Ranboo had said excitedly as he and Tommy sat on a wall to be head height with Tubbo while he was sitting.
“Transitioning to what?” Tommy scoffed, already done with the conversation.
“You know, getting big like my mom and dad, like Tubbo’s doing!” Tommy shuddered. The times he’d stayed over at either boy’s house he’d been horrified by how large everything was, he wasn’t sure how they did it, to live in a house not made for them, scary. Though he supposed Tubbo’s home would fit him soon enough.
“What makes you think you’re going to be human? What if you stay tiny like me and my mum and dad?” Tommy shot back, he couldn’t help but get angry. What was wrong with being Tiny? Didn’t they like being able to play with him?
“Well my mom and dad are human, so why wouldn’t I be?” Ranboo tilted his head in confusion and Tommy had half a mind to let it go. But only half.
“Well if you’re human too then who’s going to be my best friend for third and fourth grade?” Both Tubbo and Ranboo looked at him shocked.
“Well us of course! Just because we’re not going to be in the same class doesn’t mean anything!” Tommy scoffs and drops from the four inch wall, he stumbles but quickly walks away from them.
They try to follow after him but he gives them the cold shoulder.
They only have a few days left of school and Tommy avoids them the whole time.
Summer starts and the boys are the furthest they’ve been since they became friends.

Someone recommended your blog to me. Hope you don't get uncomfortable✌️ She said to me that she always saw you answer some asks about Jungkook, and so here I am, knocking in your inbox haha. Thanks for loving Jungkook! It makes me happy to know that there are still accounts here that answer asks about him, the accounts that I followed here are just posting pictures and gif, eh? or just some shipper accounts that everytime I ask about Jungkook, I haven't received any answer but then gives their thoughts when it's about the other member that get shipped with Jungkook <<<<< so frustrating and disappointing.
Sorry for ranting, haha. So this is my ask, there are many times that Jungkook stated he wants to find his true self. Do you think these past few days or months, Jungkook have found his true self already? And why do you think so?
I asked this because ever since last year, I noticed that he really glows and shines. He really looks so happy and at ease. He always laugh, jokes around, more playful and more comfortable too to share what are his thoughts, am I the only one who notice this? He just really looks different, looks so happy and content but still looks so greedy and want something to prove to himself. The concerts and performances that BTS has done last year and these past few months and days, he really looks like a more confident, powerful performer but at the same time timid and goofy when its his time to talk?
What do you think is the cause of these changes? I mean, what is the turning point of this Jungkook's maturity as a performer and as a person?
Hi anon ☺️
Don't worry about sending me asks. And thank you for the kind words 💜💜!!
Wow... Ehm, your answer is a really big one... like, I feel like I should write a whole master thesis to answer this 😂!
Do you think Jungkook has found his true self already? And why do you think so? Well.... Do we ever find our true selves 😅? Don't we search for it and change through our whole life ☺️? I think this answer is impossible for me to answer.
What I however can say a bit about, is that I agree with some of what you point out. Jungkook has indeed become much much more confident and comfortable in his own skin, comfortable in being who he is, and comfortable about showing it to the world.
I think Jungkook has changed a lot through all the years... his personality and kinda personal "mood/vibe", the way he present himself to the world, has changed a lot. I feel like he is a whole new person each year. From 2018-2019 he changed a LOT, suddenly taking more control in his own life and especially his own image, with the tattoos, long hair, lots of piercings. But he was still a very silent and shy type, introvert. But he has taken big steps, suddenly showing very new sides of himself through all the year. My Time was really a big shock to me. But for me, the time the change in him was most obvious to me was in 2021.... it's like he became a whole new person here. His confident has skyrocket, he is much much more open when in front of the camera, making fun, taking control of the conversation or the mood. And his happiness... his happiness especially was new. He was shining. And he still is, still continues to. He is not shy anymore - he has said this himself. Another big step has happened this year. He way he flirts, the way he shows his body much more. Yes Jungkook has changed a lot. However, being able to see ARMY again, doing what he loved again - perform - surely has a BIG impact on him and the way he shows himself to the world.
What do you think is the cause of these changes? I'm not sure there has to be a cause. I don't think there is any. Like all of us, Jungkook just develops himself and his personality through life. And he is a real grown up man now. And the very obvious happiness which has taken over him, surely has a VERY big influence on how WE experience him as an idol - same goes for the sudden confidence, which probably follows happiness. What causes the happiness I couldn't say. But I also see how he changed after getting Bam - I don't know if Bam did the change or if he got Bam because of the change, if that makes sense?
So... I don't know if this answers anything of what you said. I tried to keep it short. And it kinda hurts, because for me to really give a decent answer, I should have written a whole 10 pages essay to you 😅
I talked about something similar to this in another ask, if you are interested in reading it ^^
Tumblr media
- Love from Line 💜💜💜

Hi Storm!!! I follow you a few other bloggers heavily (I love your blog) so I thought I would ask you this question since I know you have referred to it before. I’m sorry that it’s kinda dumb but maybe you can help me. I’ve noticed you and other say several times that there are “cuts” in footage. I have no experience in video editing and can barely take a pic on my iPhone, but maybe it’s not necessary and I’m just oblivious lol I was hoping you could explain how you can tell? I feel like I don’t notice when I watch content when there is a “cut” but I think it would help me understand moments so much especially the “sus” ones.
Hello books and candles!
Here is my post over suspicious cuts relating to KM for anyone who hasn't seen it. And basically a cut in footage is basically just when an editor shortens the footage time by cutting certain parts of the film out. Like for example, let's say you are filming a prank you pull on your sister. You set up the camera, and it takes 10 minutes before your sister walks into the room. Before posting, you would probably cut that footage down to right before your sister walks in, so you don't just have an empty 10 minutes at the start of the video. Hopefully that makes sense.
So you can tell when there has been a cut in footage when there is a jump in scenes. Some are super obvious and some are only clear if you are really paying attention. Like just a general, BH cut this footage to save time type cut would be this one which has me cackling everytime. It truly looks like Jimin straight up teleported into the room. 🤣 but we know what happened was they were filming the boys working out, they were OBVIOUSLY working out for a long period of time, BH decided that they would cut that footage to a shorter segment since they weren't doing anything different to fill that time with more entertaining clips then just squats for 10 minutes straight. ARMY probably wouldn't complain though... Regardless, obviously at some point during the footage that didn't make it in and got cut, Jimin showed up and walked into the room to watch. But since his entrance got cut, we instead got teleporting Jimin. Lol
Tumblr media
One of the most obvious and most suspicious cuts that I mention in my KM cuts post where it's super clear to see the cut in footage is the NY bangtan bomb. Jimin comes up, looks like he is going for an exhausted kiss. Cut in footage halfway through JKs ending mentions to the camera. Lmfao cut to JK finishing his mentions where we never get the middle of whatever he WAS saying and Jimin went from drapped totally across his shoulders to totally backed off him. Lol but we never saw it. 13:25 we have them in one position, 13:26 in a completely different one:
youtube
And then some moments we just saw get "cut" because they don't even make it into the footage. Like in the most recent RUN behinds, we saw Tae go to lay his head down in Jimins lap, but they moved onto the next scene. So the vmin cuddle moment didn't make it into either the episode or behinds, but we know it happened, so it got cut. Or the RUN episode where they were playing the guess the choreo game blindfolded and we only got a photo of JK touching Jimin, not the footage of him doing it, so it got cut from the video.
And part of the joke about Jungkook teleporting next to Jimin is because there are so many examples of them sitting far apart, having a random cut in footage, just to have JK moved so they are right next to each other, without us having seen said movement because of the cut. Lol hence the teleporting jokes, because he moved in the blink of an eye.
Tumblr media
Just a few examples, if you have more questions, please let me know. Basically it's just a noticeable gap in footage. I hope this helped explain what we are talking about there though!

-quick little psa, Nikolai and Reader are both kinda ducks cause they’re hurt and stressed. I DONT THINK it’s okay to invalidate a significant other, however I do believe people say things they don’t mean-
“Yes, Genya, I’ve checked the place cards, and I told Alina to make sure no one was allergic to anything.” You sighed heavily from your place on the lavish fainting chair, reclining to avoid wrinkling your dress. Tamar widened her eyes, and shook her head subtly at you, warning you of the danger that comes with poking the bear.
Genya turned sharply and raised a fiery eyebrow at you, almost daring you to get smart again. “Listen, wiseass, this is my wedding day, and if anything goes wrong, as my Maid of Honor you’re responsible.” She reached into the smooth mahogany surface of the vanity and brandished a particularly sharp looking razor blade. “Got it?” You widened your eyes and rose from the chair, no longer feeling safe.
“I’m gonna go check in with the band,” you mumbled, speed walking straight to the door. Genya nodded curtly. As you wrenched the door open, you came face to face with Alina, holding the thin, cream colored shawl Genya had requested.
“Be careful,” you whispered. “She’s in a mood.” Alina rolled her eyes.
“And it's probably all your fault.” she smiled, letting the door shut behind you. You chuckled to yourself at the thought of getting a rise out of Genya, a woman who had quickly become a sister to you from the moment you arrived at the Little Palace, no matter how many times you pissed her off.
You made it a few paces from the door before you heard a startling shout from the room you just left.
“Make sure they don’t play a polka song!”
“Alright,” you hollered back hoarsely. “Just save that braying voice for your vows!”
Making your way to the parlour room was simple enough, considering you had done it a thousand times before. The hard part was making it past the boys room.
You were all the way at the end of the hall, and yet you could hear the commotion from within David’s room. As you stepped closer and closer, heels clacking on the pristine tiled floor, the garbled noise of grown men arguing became clearer and clearer.
“For saints’ sake David! You look fine!”
“Genya would say my necktie clashes with my haircut!” Another round of groans erupted, and you smiled.
Of every couple in all Os Alta, Genya and David would take the cake when it came to “opposites attract”. You’d always thought they were perfectly paired, with David’s demure nature and Genya’s strongly worded opinions. They balanced one another, and brought out the best in them both.
You thought that you’d get lucky, and be able to walk past the room swiftly without being noticed, but of course, fate was being a real bitch.
Just as your left foot set down in front of their door, it was pulled open abruptly. One moment, you were striding swiftly through an abandoned corridor, and in the next you were being stared down by arguably the one man you could’ve gone all day without seeing.
Nikolai blinked and cleared his throat, and did the one thing you least expected. He grabbed you, not unkindly, by the arm, and hauled you into the room, kicking the door shut behind him.
“Have a look,” he said, pointing to David, who was standing rather awkwardly in the middle of the room, rolling his eyes everytime Mal tried to convince him he looked fine. “Doesn’t David’s tie match perfectly with his hair?” He didn’t even wait for you to respond. “I picked it out myself, so of course he’d look impeccable.”
Your hunger for chaos just couldn't resist. You frowned mockingly, and rested your chin on your fist. “Well, the knot is a little big…” you moved for the mass of garments piling up on David’s bed, and swiftly pulled out another tie. This one was a dark violet color, and perfect for the occasion, for you happened to know that Genya’s wedding bouquet had flowers of the same shade. You looped the fabric around David’s neck after removing the old one, and tied it, not unlike a sister would. “There.” You patted him on the shoulders. “You look great, David.”
You picked up the skirt of your dress as you went to exit, stopping to pat Nikolai on the arm. “Don’t feel bad about the tie, Nikolai. We both know you have trouble seeing a good thing even when it’s right in front of you.” You left without another word, neck bobbing, but head held high.
He knew what you’d been talking about, of course; your failed relationship. You and Nikolai had been together for all of 7 months, before the cares of both of your positions began to take their toll. As king of Ravka, Nikolai was resolute in his decision to be a great ruler above all else, and he honored that decision in full.
He made regular visits to every corner of his country, doing what he could to alleviate the stresses that formed in the aftermath of the war, and oftentimes took you with him, if you could spare the time. He took special care to attend every meeting and listen intently to any conversation that had anything to do with his beloved Ravka, to avoid making the same decisions that cost his father the throne, and his people their security.
You loved it. You loved him, too. His dedication to a land that had been so neglected by his forefathers was something that you revered in your lover, and respected. And he respected your work, too, and all that you did in the name of the Second Army and the throne. The time you spent together was always treasured.
However, he as King and you as General, there was only so much time to be spent together. It had become routine for both parties, night after night to come home to the bedroom, and find the other fast asleep, unyieldingly busy, or just not there. You slept in the same bed, and yet, you both had felt the cold arms of distance more than the arms of the other. It was only a matter of time until either of you reached your breaking point, after all, it was no easy thing to fall asleep and wake up in an empty room, not when you knew the one who shared it was long gone.
He had walked into your room, late at night after a day of meetings and diplomacies. You were sitting, hunched over, bathed in the light of the oil lamp hanging over you, slowly sorting through and filing away the documents detailing the expenses of the Second Army. He had strode over to you, and placed a heavy hand on your shoulder, squeezing slightly.
You hummed in acknowledgement, unwilling to turn away from the paper before you. “What,” he said. “No hello?” You shrugged off his hand as you reached for your pen.
Signing the line at the edge of the page, you responded halfheartedly. “Nik, I’m really busy right now.” You had hoped that your displeasure at the work laid out before you would be conveyed through your words, but it seemed that was not the case. Nikolai, in all his stressed out glory, believed the displeasure was directed at him.
Retracting his hand and moving towards the bed, he muttered, “Saints forbid I be shown a little affection.” You did not intend to hear him, but you couldn’t help  but respond. Not when, just days ago, sitting at the same desk, Nikolai had done the same thing.
“Affection,” you repeated, setting your pen down and leaning back in the chair. “Pray tell, Nikolai, when was the last time you paid me any affection. Or indeed, any attention at all?” Nikolai shook his head, and tugged off his shirt as he readied himself for the night, sighing when he saw your challenging expression. He prattled off his response without a second though.
“I'm the King. You're just a soldier.” You scoffed, and stared at him for a moment, wondering if he would recant, and apologize for all he just insinuated.
He did not. Nikolai crawled onto his side of the bed, his back facing you, and remained silent.
For him to invalidate you, and your work—
“Right,” you said, standing to collect your things. “In that case, I think I’ll stay in the Little Palace tonight. With the other soldiers.” That had been the end of it.
Nikolai’s pride prevented him from approaching you, and your resolve to remain unbroken kept you from approaching him. You knew if you tried to talk about it, it would kill you from the inside out. So that was how it went. You put up with Nikolai, for the sake of your friends, and country, and spoke shortly and when spoken to. Nikolai did likewise.
Until the wedding reception, that is. You’d done your best, really. You really tried to goad Genya and get him assigned to a different table, but of course it wouldn't happen. She’d given you a resolute no, claiming that the Maid of Honor and the Best Man had to sit at the same table and they had to share at least one dance.
You weren't so sure how legit that last claim was, but you didn't have it in you to argue. The lamps dimmed, and the band stopped, making way for the newlyweds to impress the attendees. David was smiling brightly, with one arm wrapped around Genya’s waist as he waltzed them around the floor, only dropping his grin when he gestured to Nikolai to take your hand. Nikolai huffed, and looked at you straight on.
“Genya said we have to dance.” He knocked back his brandy, and stood up, regal as ever, and extended a hand to you. 
You looked up from your own unfinished glass humorlessly. “Well don’t sound so excited.” You caught a narrow glare from Genya as she whirled around the floor. You stood and took his hand, allowing him to lead you to the floor.
You were getting too close.
The intoxicating smell of Nikolai’s cologne was shoving you closer and closer to the edge, let alone the warm feeling of his hand on the small of your back. Deep down you knew that if he moved his hand to your hip, it would be over, and you would drown in shared memories of nights spent in tangled sheets and abandoned alcoves.
You cleared your throat, and allowed your own hands to take their place, one in his hand, and one on his shoulder. With a swell of the music, you were off, onto the dancefloor in a flourish of fake smiles and internal screaming. 
Nikolai glanced down at you, noticing the way you looked at anything but him. “So,” he said. “I have trouble seeing a good thing even when it’s right in front of me.” You didn't say anything, clenching your jaw. “No, no,” he continued. “You’re right, of course. You stood by my side through… everything. The war, my stint as Sturmhond. It was selfish of me. To not have been by your side when you needed me.”
Oh yeah, you thought. Now we’re definitely too close.
You cleared your throat, and patted his bicep twice, signaling him to let you go. “Goodnight,” you muttered, unwilling to let yourself have this conversation. You pulled away, just slightly, before Nikolai tightened his grip on your waist and pulled you in. “Hey-!”
“Just know,” he murmured, looking at you intently, hazel eyes carving through the thick resolve you had fashioned in the weeks you’d been apart. “I always saw you. I never stopped seeing you. Probably never will.” He let go of your waist, and brought one of your hands to his mouth, kissing your knuckle. “And you were the greatest. Know that I’m not ready to give up on us yet.”

[6] Merlin headcanons in various forms
[Another slightly lengthy one, sorry <3]
[Modern Merlin/Gwaine homelife AU]
• Merlin has little speakers set up throughout the kitchen and living room to play music through whenever they're cooking, cleaning or bored.
Sometimes he and Gwaine dance together, be it shoulder shimmy's or Gwaine pushing the furniture out of the away so they can waltz.
• Whenever one of them is having a rough day, the other will bring them a bowl of their favorite fruit, sometimes in different ways.
Gwaine mostly just pokes his head into the doorway first, then holds out a bowl of blackberries. Merlin does the *grabby hands* gesture and accepts them.
Merlin tends to cut Gwaine's apples into shapes, so sometimes he'll bring a plate of star or heart shaped apple slices, or if he's feeling creative he'll carve little things into the whole apple.
Gwaine's favorite was when Merlin was also having a bad day, but didn't want to break their usual habit, so Merlin had just opened the door, muttered "bitch" and threw the whole apple at him.
Merlin's favorite was when Gwaine speared the blackberries onto a whole kabob stick and handed it to him.
• Merlin likes to play with Gwaine's hair a lot.
They'll mess around and Merlin will give him little braids or pig tails, sometimes pulling all his hair to the front of his head and giving him a man bun there.
Once when they were lazing around on the couch together, Gwaine was half asleep and Merlin was running his hands through his hair while talking about random stuff. Gwaine was trying so hard to pay attention, or at least look like he was, but Merlin eventually caught on that he wasn't and in response he tugged a little hard on his hair and Gwaine just let out a loud dramatic moan.
They just kinda stared at each other in silence before busting out laughing.
• Merlin has a bunch of miniature plants around the house that kept growing in numbers. Gwaine asked him about it once and wasn't ready for Merlin's response of "everytime you annoy me I go out and buy a new one."
There were 33 plants.
Eventually whenever Gwaine knew he'd upset Merlin somehow, he'd go out and buy a miniature plant as an apology. He calls the plants "Merlin's army".
• Merlin wears Gwaine's clothes a lot. Gwaine likes to see him in them so he's not bothered. In return, he wears Merlin's dragon socks.
• Gwaine waited paitently for Merlin's hair to get long enough to put a very small ponytail on the top of his head. It had to be done with a mini rubberband, but it still counts.
• They like to leave sticky notes to each other around the house.
• Merlin somtimes will lay on the couch with headphones in and quietly listen to music. For hours. Gwaine didn't understand it at first, but he eventually figured out he does it when he's feeling upset. Now whenever he peeks over the couch and sees Merlin lying down with headphones in and a frown on his face, he crawls on top of him and just holds him.

ok so this started as me just writing down an idea that i had and ended up being a +1k bad written text, so i thought i would share it cause why not, basically a royal au kinda, its like that time lol, enemies to lovers and they are both knights, a little tw: blood, violence and injury (nothing really explicit tho)
they hate each other, robbe got his reputation as one of the best knights practising and earning the name by being one of the most talented warriors in the infantry, but sander for being the king's son gets all the credit of everything the army does, robbe can't stand it, but what he doesnt know is that sander really doesnt wanna be a knight, he likes to paint and to observe the wonders of the world, the beauty in everything, but his father forced him to be in there. robbe treated the prince poorly from the beginning, not tolerating that everything the boy did was praised by everyone, sander noticed the rude behavior and mostly just ignored it, so they never talked, and if they did, it ended up in a fight.
the kingdom is in danger, they are losing the war with another nation and the army has to travel to fight those battles. somehow robbe and sander end up in a duel in the middle of training, robbe realize sander does have talent to fight (and that he looks good doing it, but of course he doesn't admit that to himself) , but he still isn't as good as robbe, when sander loses his sword, robbe gets to put his on sander´s throat, they stare intensely into each others eyes and called it a tie, but robbe knows that he could have won.
that night nobody seems to shut up about the fight and how the best knights on the legion seem to not stand each other. their superiors called them after dinner to have a talk and reproched them for being childish, irresponsible and causing a ruckus in the middle of training, as a punishment they are going to be forced to clean the training area every afternoon after practice until the army leaves the place where they are camping. they start to spend time together and after a lot of “that's not the right way to use a bow” “if you don't grip the sword tight of course you are going to lose it” “that's not how you clean an axe” they start to get to know each other, sander talks about art, poetry and music, robbe about the adrenaline he feels when he is fighting, at some point sander tells that he hates the choices his dad is making, that all this war could end if they just gave back the gold they stole some years ago from the other kingdom, that he doesn't want the power but when he´ll have it he is going to use it to do good, robbe tells that his parents got sick when he was a child and that he lived on the streets for some time, until one day he got caught for stealing food and single handedly beated 4 knights without using any weapons, one of the leaders of the army offered him a place to live in and food if he took a place with the warriors. sometimes if they ended up early they would practice together, they made each other better, and not only when it came to fighting, if they stared to each other a little too long they didn't mention it.
they fought some battles and started to noticing how everytime they ended they were looking for the other, wanting to know if they were okay. they started enjoying those afternoons of cleaning, looking forward to the duels they would have after, staying until the sky gets dark and watching the stars.
one day after cleaning and organizing everything the boys get into an argument that ends up with them not talking to each other for days.
3 days later the enemy troop attacked the camp by surprise, it was all screams, dust, and the sound of galloping horses, only a few were able to grab another weapon that wasn't the sword they carried around all the time, anger and fear making them act careless and more out of instinct, they didn't have a plan to follow like the previous battles, they were on their own. sander fighting with two men at the same time, didn't notice the third one coming from his back, but robbe did, and without even thinking he threw himself between the man and sander, the sword going through his chest. he fell to the ground. with each second everything started feeling more and more distant, his legs numb and a white pain in his right shoulder.
not long after that, the enemies started to back up, cause even though they were prepared and equipped, this army was bigger and had better warriors. the sky turned gray and rain started pouring down the battlefield, making small puddles of mud. when instinctively sander looked for robbe, he felt his heart stop beating, the boy laid on the grass with his right upper arm covered in blood. sander threw himself at the ground and started screaming for help, he ripped one sleeve of his shirt and tie it tight around the other´s shoulder, he couldn't even hear himself anymore, desperately praying to every god he didn't believe in for the boy to wake up, his screams muffled by the pouring rain hitting the ground, he positioned the head of the boy on his lap and pressed down on the injury as hard as he could, their foreheads touching and sander´s tears hidden by the rain fell on robbe's face, “i’m sorry please im sorry, don't leave me robbe i'm sorry please dontleavemedontleavemedontleaveme” he kept pushing on the other´s chest but everything seemed hopeless “robbe….. i love you, you have to wake up please” he let his face fall on the boy´s chest “i love you”, suddenly a hand touched his hair and a tiny voice said “you what?” and when sander lifted his head he saw the boy with what could have been called a teasing smile looking at him, he looked pale and sleepy but judging by the way he seemed to be wanting to laugh at sander he was very much alive, god he was alive. “ what the fuck robbe dont scare me like that” sander said wiping away his tears and trying to compose himself, robbe laughed but immediately stopped himself cause the wound made it painful.
“it was your fault, idiot. someone was going to attack you, i had to do something”
“what i.... you shouldn't have done that, you don't save me or anyone by killing yourself robbe” sander caress the injured boy's face” “at least i got you to say that you love me” the older boy snorted and pressed their foreheads together, closing his eyes “yes you did ijzermans….yes you did”
robbe placed his hand of the arm that wasn't injured on the back of sander´s head and brought his lips close, and almost like a whisper said “well it seems to be your lucky day driesen, cause i love you too” and with that sander couldn't contain himself anymore, he kissed robbe like his life depended on that, he kissed robbe like it was the last thing he was going to do. after that every injured man was taken to a tent and examined by medics from the army. months later robbe was completely healed and sander had made his father end the war with the other nation and return the stolen gold. they lived their best life as princes, and later on as kings<3

My thoughts on Ninjago the Island!!! 🏝🏝🏝
So, gotta be honest... this is not a Blind reaction thing, I actually watched it in French first so I know most of the stuff already 😅 It's entertaining, it got great animation, but nothing more than that in my opinion 🤷‍♀️
Still there is stuff I liked or I want to point out, and finally I'm seeing the English version so I can actually understand what the HECK they are saying 🤩
Alright, nothing else to say, here we go!
UNCHARTED
I haven't actually seen anything Clutch Powers related before Ninjago, is he always like this? I love that he is a jerk honestly, just wondering 😂
Press F for respect for intern Dwaine (at least he seems to like being... used?)
Clutch: It's just a bunch of rocks! It's not alive!
Totem: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Wait, Misako is part of the explorers club? ... that would have come in handy in season 11 to get the scroll of Forbitten Spinjitzu from the club instead of begging uncle Powers for it... *sighs* I don't mind plot holes in Ninjago like most fans I think, but if you wanna make Misako relevant again at least pay attention to the details 😅
Wow, after the end of season 13 I would've thought Wu was going to go through a midlife crisis, not Misako 😂😂
Oww, everytime I hear I get 😢 Bless your soul Kirby, always in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤
Well hello Brian
Tumblr media
Always nice to see you 😊
Twitchy Tim must have been pretty interesting to voice 🤔 I like him enough, he's fun and all, maybe not at the level of the characters we got last season
Okay, the place is called the STORM belt, there are LIGHTNINGS, and the sand of the beach is BLUE. Are we gonna address any of these similarities to our Bluebell here or not? 😅
Wait, Tim was giving a hot air balloon tour, does that mean other people where with him? What of them? Are they dead? Did he let them die on the island?... am I reading too much into this? Probably 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Alright, the part of the boats? SO COOL 🤩🤩 I literally can't say anything bad about the animation at this point
Why did they think leaving Kai, Jay and Cole on one boat was going to be a good idea 😂 Also Zane just randomly doing sick tricks on his vehicle, love that nindroid
I'm guessing Nya is keeping her water abilities for her season 🤷‍♀️
Yep, yep, this is why the creators try to keep Pixal out of the adventures, with her everything is way too cool and easy to access to 😎😎
Twitchy Tim: There are statues that become alive!!
Lloyd:... so it's a season 2 stone army ripoff, we've seen worse
It's a cute episode overall 👍
THE KEEPERS OF THE AMULET
OKAY THE INTRO IS SO FREAKING COOL 🤩🤩🤩🤩
So Twitchy Tim has temporarily taken over Jay's role of spazzing out and complain about worse case scenarios... in another occasion they might have bonded over this, maybe 😂
Okay, survival position? MOOD
Nya: DRAGOOON 😱
Me: DRAGOOOOOOON 😍😍😍
Why am I not surprised that Jay was the one that named him Zippy? 💙 Also HE'S SO CUTE 💕💕💕 Love how in every adventure, we always get very different types of dragon in this show 👌 I'm a simple person, I see a dragon... 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Oh-oh, it's the "Lloyd's done with this crap"'s face
Tumblr media
This means serious business... am I that used to LEGO characters that this way of crossing arms on the chest looks almost normal to me? 😅
Soooo, Master of the Mountain clearly gave Cole too much development... because now he got demoted to "the one who is always hungry" 🤦‍♀️ I'm all for Cole's endearing love for cakes, which is super relatable, but if you're gonna push it on his fun side, at least be coherent 🙃
Is it just me or it feels like the writing of this special was made by someone different from the one of season 13? Like, it's not bad, just less engaging and witty. For now. Maybe I'm being premature 🤷‍♀️
New way of nerfing powers, we got... weird, sucking power totem thingies... OKAY
My gosh I really can't say anything about the animation, look at that! It's all cinematic with such a light! YES!! 🤩
I'M SORRY
Tumblr media
WHY ARE WE LOOKING OVER THIS??? IT LOOKS LIKE COLE'S LAVA PUNCHES BUT THEY ARE JAY LIGHTNING FEET??? IT'S A GREAT IDEA AND I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT AGAIN??? WHY ARE WE IGNORING THIS??? 💙💙💙💙
So they at least addressed that lightning isn't a Jay's thing only anymore 😅
Alright, Jay having a mental breakdown because of a bridge because it always breaks, that's the Bluebell I know and love 😂😂 Nya telling him to keep moving was cute too 💙❤💙❤
Okay, I'm sorry but this really bothers me, what kind of lightning can instantly knock out the MASTER OF LIGHTNING??? Like, my gosh, really??? I hope they give us an explanation, like it's some sort of special lightning, because this really doesn't sit right with me. Jay is lightning proof, we've seen it in Skybound, we've seen it in Sons of Garmadon, I DON'T BELIEVE HE WOULD JUST BE KNOCKED OUT LIKE THAT 😡😡😡
Soooooo, storm amulet? Being one with the lightning? Is that the reason why Jay got to be the sacrifice? 😅
THE GIFT OF JAY
Alright, I am kinda looking forward for this one, what did Bluebell actually say or do to get him into trouble this time 😂😂
Oh, he just... introduced himself... well that was underwhelming
SENSEI👏YOU👏ARE👏A👏FREAKING👏GOD👏STOP👏GETTING👏KIDNAPPED👏BY👏RANDOM👏VILLAINS👏
Bring ooooon Lloyd Grills 💪
Okay I did like the little speech, definitely resonates with how Lloyd survived this long even though everything wanted him to give up, even his father... I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING 😭
Jay out there making the real questions 😂
Awwww Edna used to call him gift of Jay? I can totally see it, so cute 💙💙 Makes even more sense if Libber actually left Jay at the Walkers' door...
Pff, Jay made the connection I would've done honestly 🤷‍♀️ Like, him being the master of lightning really didn't give these dudes any impression or inspiration? Any cool idea, full Road of El Dorado style? 🙃🙃
Lloyd out there abusing of the animation budget 💚💚💚
Somehow these ninja never actual sneak in, it's always a huge mess everyone knows about beforehand 😂 It's familiar though, I'm used to it and happy with it 👍
I might not be the biggest Misako fan, but you know what I am a fan of?
Tumblr media
LEGO HUGS 😍😍😍😍😍
Dang it uncle Powers, you just got here to make a mess did you 😅
Not the first person of the fandom to say this, but Jay looks absolutely lovely with that flower crown 🌺🌺🌺
Oh poor greenie
Tumblr media
Lloyd just has the worst luck 😓
Jay: Why would I be the gift?
Kai: Yeah who would want Jay?
Nya: Huh, me?? 😡
Got some very good Jaya for this little special, can't complain 💙❤💙❤
I mean, not matter how big of a snake Wojira might turn out to be, we've already seen the biggest and the second biggest snake of all so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Whoa, at last... IT WAS THE FIRST SPINJITZU MASTER THAT HAD SOMETHING HE SHOULD'VE TOLD WU A LONG TIME AGO!! 😱 Wu, you got pulled a Wu, how does it feel? 😂
Again, Jay freaking out, kinda my jam it's too funny 💙💙
Wow Kai way to be hominous offscreen 👏👏 I miss talking about my flame babe, this really isn't his time 🤷‍♀️
THE TOOTH OF WOJIRA
So when I first watched this I was genuinely, really excited about knowing the truth behind all this. It turned out very different from what I first thought, but at least in this case it's okay (besides I was pushing with the lightning meaning just to see Libber again 😅😅😅)
I feel like the guys get their powers stolen or blocked so much it takes them a minute to remember "Oh wait I can literally burn my way out" 🤷‍♀️
SPINJITZU YAY 🤩
I... forgot that Misako knows how to fight 😅 She knows how to do spinjitzu too if I remember correctly...
NYA BEING LIKE "OUT OF THE WAY IMMA SAVE MY BOYFRIEND AGAIN" ❤💙❤💙
Gotta love how they were all crazy worried about Jay, like, this is something that never changes through the show. They really care so so much for each other 💕💕💕
Ooohhhh, okay, so Wojira does seem to be the main villain of next season according to the story. I remember Tommy saying that we needed to have faith and this is probably why. The special was okay, nothing too much, and hopefully that too much we will see in Nya's season 😍😍😍
What the- pff, I didn't notice this the first time 😂
Tumblr media
At this point I can't tell if that one short with the chicken of the movie carried a hate or a love for chickens in the actual show 😂😂
Nice to see Jay standing up for himself at least for a little while 💪 Also Lloyd being "He's our trouble", aww family 💜
THERE IT IS
Tumblr media
MY BRUISE HEART IS SOARING 🖤💙🖤💙
Gotta give props to the voice actors, voicing an explanation while fighting must be pretty hard! WE ARE BLESSED WITH AN AMAZING CAST!!! 🤩🤩🤩
And there he is, our favorite jerk... shaved Ronin 😂 He does look a little weird, but it's fair, new animation and all. Not the weirdest until now 🤷‍♀️
I genuinely had to make a mental check to see where we are with Ronin now, like, he started as a villain, then a partner, he betrayed us, became an ally, he hunted the ninja, then joined them, that timeline was erased, he was around in SoG and... wow this man is chaotic 😂😂
Yaaaay, Twitchy's last minute redemption act! Lloyd is too good at motivational speeches 👏👏
A bit of Lava OTP/BrOTP
Tumblr media
Cause it's good for the heart ❤🖤❤🖤
Okay, Scooby doo reference, why not? Also honestly, I'm confident Ronin has seen A LOT of jails and prisons... probably won't stay behind bars for long 😅
Mammatus: sorry for imprisoning you and almost killing your friend
Kai: no biggie, that's how we make friends in this show
Alright the "And Clutch Powers" gag made me chuckle 😂 ... wait where is he- DANG IT UNCLE POWERS
Okay, this is the last time I say it I promise, but I mean. I MEAN
Tumblr media
THE ANIMATION GUYS 😍😍😍
Aaaaand sensei you jinxed it 😅 But you apparently awakened Nya's season so I'm gonna forgive you on this one 😉
FINAL THOUGHTS
There are a few little details that bothered me a little, and it wasn't as exciting as I maybe hoped it was going to be, but it was fine. Enjoyable still. These characters make me like the show, even when it got nothing too impactful 🤷‍♀️
But I got triggered about that lightning thing with Jay 😅 I guess I'll just fanfic whatever I had in mind...
Don't have to repeat myself about the animation *chef's kiss*
The writing was really less engaging, a little normal in a way? Idk just a feeling. Nice to see Ronin again though, I really like him. And nice to see Jay freaking out, I really like that too 😂
To be honest I wanted to put down my thoughts on this one because I REALLY wanna do the same with Nya's season 🤩🤩 I already know that Maya is gonna be there and I am so HAPPY already!!! 💙💙💙
So that's it from me! Thank you for reading me ranting, see you next season! 😊
