sometimes reading other people’s fics is helpful because it made me realize a REALLY crucial thing. like holy shit. i cannot believe this did not occur to me. major spoilers under the cut
i think a good few of you have seen the posts ive made about the cultures of the different kingdoms and domains, and that they have their own languages. ive also alluded to there being trade and shit.
what i havent said is that this little group of kingdoms isnt the only group to exist, and there are other patches of kingdom clusters elsewhere too. in effect the wastelands are like oceans for humans, and the bugs have definitely invented a relatively safe way of traversing the wastelands by the time of dreamless’ events.
this Also means that hallownestian had the opportunity to spread to other kingdoms, some of which may even have adopted it as their primary language (though with regional differences, of course; im just going to pretend dialects aren’t a thing or ghost trying to communicate with hallownestian bugs is going to be a mess). hallownest was a really big and prosperous kingdom for a while, so theres ample opportunity for its language to spread. the same is probably also true of arcleomen? but to a lesser extent; im still debating on how much arcleomen ghost knows, if at all. maybe a few words they’ll recognize and stuff
this... does imply that ghost did not start off understanding hallownestian. they had to learn it, after they got out of the kingdom.
which means orchid isnt going to know hallownestian.
like. they have void talk, which will circumvent them not understanding hallownestian, but holy shit. i now have more ideas to play with. im just floored at how i didnt consider this at all and it took another fic bringing this up for me to realize.
on a similar note, lheki and glimmer both know hallownestian due to being raised in the white palace for at least a while. hornet actually primarily speaks hallownestian, and her arcleomen is really broken; its kind of a minor plot point for her to practice with monomon. light’s echo may get taught a little just to make communication easier, but i havent gotten to that point in the story yet so i dont fully know right now.
just. holy mother of god. i think i accidentally dug another angst pit

Tumblr media
"Hey guys, welcome to my YouTube Channel."
You spoke in front of the camera. Sets of acrylic paint were spread out across the table next to a stand that held an 18x24 inch canvas. You were in the middle of making your seventeenth video, a highly requested one at that, and deep down you were ecstatic to start working on the painting.
Never in your life did you think you would ever start a YouTube account. You always considered yourself a very shy and private person, not one to go out of their way and broadcast themselves all over the internet. Your best friends, however, were two very well-known YouTubers and always found a way to include you in their videos and live streams. Somehow people liked seeing more of you, and so you were convinced by your best friends and the audience to start your own YouTube channel.
But you weren't very accustomed to bringing a camera everywhere with you to document and share whatever was happening in your daily life, you found it too awkward and you were still camera-shy, so you decided to create content in a way that would still keep you comfortable while doing something you loved.
An art channel.
Your channel blew up pretty fast. Requests started pouring in here and there. You became known for your very calm demeanor and artistic skills, so you took this as an opportunity to sell your works online as a way to earn some extra money for your future. Occasionally, you'd do lives to talk to your fans and you were happy at the support they showed you, which only encouraged you to keep making videos.
"This was a highly requested video, and I honestly can't wait to get started," you told the camera, mentally telling yourself to insert the comments and messages you got in your DMs to paint this Adonis-like human being. The requests started coming in after you had an Instagram live where you did some quick sketches while playing some of your favorite songs in the back, and people noticed one of the songs you played was by him.
"You guys also asked if I could sell this painting, but because of the "high demand"," you spoke, adding air quotes, "I'd like to keep it up for auction so the proceeds could go to different fundraisers."
You started mixing different colors in your palette and showed everyone the picture for your reference.
"So, without further ado, today I will be painting Kim Taehyung."
Tumblr media
"Hey guys, welcome to my YouTube Channel."
Taehyung watched as you spoke in the video, looking behind you to see a bunch of art materials. The title of the video was left ambiguously, only being named most requested video, leaving him no clue on what it was you were going to create this time.
He's been watching your videos for quite some time now, ever since your channel started rising. Art was one of his major interests and he absolutely adored the way you made your videos with the calming, ASMR-like sound of mixing paint and how you skillfully glided the brush across the canvas. On days when he found himself tired and in need of a quick way to relax, he'd subconsciously find himself binge watching videos on your channel— even repeating several videos since you were only starting. He found it fascinating, but also because he found you interesting.
Because of your channel, he even created an anonymous YouTube account just to leave nice comments on your videos along with a private Instagram account to be able to watch your lives.
Needless to say, he didn't miss that one live where you played the song Winter Bear. It made his whole night, making him sleep with a smile on his face.
"This was a highly requested video, and I honestly can't wait to get started." 
He watched as a bunch of comments started appearing onscreen popping up one by one as they gradually got faster, eventually covering you. It took a moment before it sunk in that he was the highly requested person they wanted you to paint. He paused the video, wide-eyed, before shouting in excitement. Jimin had to come in and check what the whole commotion was about.
"Y/n's going to paint me!" Taehyung exclaimed, his mouth turning into his famous boxy smile. 
"Ah, the YouTuber you really like?" Jimin smiles before sitting down next to Taehyung who continued playing the video, "I wanna see."
"You guys also asked if I could sell this painting, but because of the "high demand", I'd like to keep it up for auction so the proceeds could go to different fundraisers."
"Wow, she seems really kind," Jimin says, while Taehyung only nods, his eyes glued to the screen.
"So, without further ado, today I will be painting Kim Taehyung."
He felt his heart beat fast when you mentioned his name, and without realizing it his ears have gone all red. 
On screen, you began sketching, "You guys have also been sending me a lot of questions lately, which is why I decided to tweet about doing a q&a."
"What questions did you ask?" Jimin asked Taehyung.
"I asked her if being an artist is something she'd like to pursue," Taehyung told him.
"Ooooh, trying to get to know her," Jimin teases, "Our little Taehyungie has a celebrity crush."
Taehyung rolls his eyes but breaks out into a grin anyway, "I just respect her artistry."
"Right, okay," Jimin snickers, obviously not buying it.
Taehyung knew he was telling the truth, though. It was impossible to have feelings for someone who you only knew through a screen. He found you attractive for sure, but he of all people would know that almost no one is completely one-hundred percent themselves on screen. Genuine as you may be, there are still things that are best kept to yourself. He couldn’t lie though, if given the chance to get to know you, he’d never pass up on that offer.
"Someone asked why I don't use that much ready-made paint," You spoke on screen, "It's ‘cause I learn a lot from mixing my own colors, and also I just really enjoy it."
The painting was beginning to come together halfway through the video and Taehyung's question finally made its way to you. "Kimyeontan95 asks, ‘is painting a career you want to pursue? I love your work, by the way’."
"That was basically I love you," Jimin holds back a laugh, earning him a light punch in the arm from Taehyung.
"Thank you so much, kimyeontan95, and no, painting is just a hobby of mine and a way to earn some future savings. I actually really want to be a novelist."
Taehyung smiled after hearing you answer his question. Later on, the video was over and his portrait was complete. He hurriedly redirected himself to the link that was provided for the auction.
Something in him wanted to have that painting no matter what, so he set himself as the highest bidder and eventually had it mailed to his home where he put your work up in his room to cherish.
Tumblr media
A day after your video was posted, you woke up to a thousand notifications from your phone. Hundreds of people were mentioning you in tweets and you had numerous missed calls from your best friends and some texts telling you to check your online art shop. You groggily scroll through your feed, a bit confused as to what was happening.
I wanted to buy this painting and I had it in my list, but now it's unavailable!
Y'ALL WHAT RICH KID SET THE HIGHEST BID TO A MILLION DOLLARS IM CRYING
@yourtwittername are you planning to sell a new collection?
a million dollar bid wtf swownwowksodiowl
Someone just bought all of @yourtwitterusername's paintings. I'm crying in broke eye—
but like what if taehyung set that bid? @yourtwitterusername
What?
I just woke up and my mentions are pouring. What is going on? You tweeted.
Thousands of replies began coming in leaving you feeling overwhelmed and confused on where to start. Everyone was telling you to check your site, and so you did. You felt your heart almost stop beating when you saw that every single artwork you had up for sale were sold out. Nothing was left behind. You checked your emails, and the confirmations were there.
How could this have happened overnight?
ALL MY WORKS ARE SOLD OUT?!?!?!?? WHO COULDVE DONET THIS??? You tweeted, hands shaking.
You felt your heart race, a wide grin that could go even wider if possible was plastered on your face. You tried to stop yourself from screaming in excitement but couldn't so you ended up jumping up and down and doing happy dances before calming down to assess the situation. Finally, you sat down in front of your laptop to see where all your works were being shipped to.
Replies started coming in.
CONGRATS YOU FIGURED IT OUT
WILL U RESTOCK
AHSKWJOA CONGRATS BB
I'M SO HAPPY FOR U
BUT Y/N WHO BOUGHT THEM ALL
Checking your emails, you discover that your art works were all bought by one person. Anonymous. There was no name and someone requested to have their personal information redacted. 
Anonymous? Surely this wasn't a joke?
The person kept their name anonymous. You tweeted and muted the notifications just to allow yourself to focus on finding out who it was that bought everything.
At the bottom of all the removed personal information, there was one username that you were sure you've heard or seen somewhere.
@ Kimyeontan95. 
Underneath the username was a short but sincere message.
"Your videos have always helped me wind down after a long, busy day. I can't express how much you inspire me with your talent and how I wish someday you'd teach me to be half as good as you, as I'm not very gifted in the painting department. I admire how you put your gifts into good things, and I very much idolize you in one way or another. This is just a small way of showing my support for you, but also because all your works are amazing and I'd love to have a small room filled with my favorite art works. I look forward to reading works of yours soon, future novelist.”
Feeling the heat creeping up on your cheeks, you smiled to yourself. The letter was definitely heartfelt and you wanted so badly to thank the person who sent it.
Tumblr media
Later that afternoon, you decided to go on live to personally thank the anonymous buyer for buying your works and for sending that wonderful note. You fixed yourself up a little bit and pressed live as thousands of your followers began to tune in.
"Hello, everyone," you greeted, smiling. Replies with greetings started coming in and you couldn't help but chuckle at the eager messages your followers were sending. They truly made you happy.
As expected, several questions began pouring in.
"Right, so, I wanted to do this live because of what happened. As you may have noticed, all my works were suddenly sold out which definitely took me by surprise," you started, "Unfortunately the buyer left everything anonymous. They only left what I assume is a username and a short letter, which I will keep to myself for personal reasons."
@follower1WHAT
@follower2 will you keep selling your works?
@follower3 THATS SUCH A SWEET GESTURE THO OMG/
@follower4 am I the only one who thinks a secret admirer bought it
@follower5 check my YouTube channel I made a theory on who bought her works
@follower6 i rlly think it's taehyung
@follower7 I’'m so proud of you :(((
"If the person who bought all of my paintings is watching this, I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate the letter as well, you've honestly made me the happiest person on Earth," you smiled.
@follower8 AWWWWW
@follower9 ANON COME OUT
@follower10 i really wanna know what the letter says
@ Kimyeontan95 I'm glad :)
Your heart stopped at one of the replies. You took your phone immediately from its fixed position with wide eyes and began scrolling up fast because of the immediate replies coming in. Wasn't that the username?
@follower11 what's going on?
@follower12 y/n are you okay?
You could no longer find the reply so you set your phone down, fixing it back in place.
"For a second I thought the person who bought it was watching my live," you sighed and smiled nervously, "So anyways— I'd really love to express my gratitude so if they're watching, please contact me. I can't say thank you en—"
Suddenly the replies were frantic. People were sending keyboard smashes here and there. Only a few of them were actual coherent comments. "What is going on?" You asked as you began scrolling through.
@follower13 Y/N CHECK VLIVE
@follower14 TaEHYUNF IS ON LIVE
@follower15 I kNEW IT THOUGH???
@follower16 Y/N CHECK TAEHYUNGS LIVE
@follower5 Y'ALL I WAS RIGHT I SAID CHECK MY YT
Keeping your live on, you grabbed your laptop as fast as you could to check out the links being sent to your live. When it finally loaded, you could've sworn you'd have a heart attack. 
"Oh, I think she's watching me," Taehyung grinned through his live, holding his phone in front of the camera. He quickly shows the viewers his phone screen, which showed your live of you watching him through your laptop. Your eyes widened and you looked back at your phone camera that was broadcasting your live, then back at his live.
Taehyung started giggling, "I guess we're just watching each other, huh?" He smiled. Behind him were packed and unpacked parcels of paintings you recognized were yours. If it was even possible, your eyes grew even wider at this, "Oh my god," you breathed out.
"I should probably introduce myself," Taehyung spoke, "Hello everyone, I'm Kim Taehyung. How are you all doing? Today I’m planning on redecorating my room after our practice. What are the packages behind me? Oh, these are paintings I recently bought."
"Are those my paintings?" You asked out loud, though you knew the answer. 
"Are those my paintings?" Your voice echoed from Taehyung's broadcast as your live was streaming from his phone. He grinned sheepishly, "Yes, these are your works, I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all," You smiled, "You were the buyer?" 
You mentally slapped yourself for asking such obvious questions, but you just couldn't believe everything that was happening now.
"Yes," he chuckles, "I really love your paintings." Suddenly the sound of Jimin’s voice echoed from behind and Taehyung quickly stood up to lock the door, knowing he’d get the teasing of a lifetime if Jimin came and saw him talking to you.
"Thank you so much, I—" Your voice began to crack and your eyes welled with tears that you tried to fight back, "I really appreciate it. And the letter, that was really sweet."
"No, thank you. Wait, don't cry—" Taehyung spoke nervously.
"I'm just so happy," You laughed while wiping the tears off.
The replies from both ends were coming in like crazy. On one hand, majority of everyone watching found the whole scenario cute and started pairing you two out of nowhere, though there were a few haters on the other. It didn't really bother you, you were just so happy someone you idolized noticed your work.
"I'm glad," he was watching you with a fond smile through his phone, then the sound of the Jin’s voice began coming from outside Taehyung’s room, "Sorry for this sudden grand reveal. I really can't stay on live for too long but I'd love to keep talking to you." He spoke.
"Oh no, that's okay," You spoke fast.
"Do you mind if I send you a message? Assuming you already know the username," he asks.
"No not at all, I'd love to keep talking as well," your heart was beating erratically now. You didn't have to see your face to know how red it was becoming.
"Alright, great. Um, before I end this vlive I just wanna say you're a great artist and to all my viewers watching this, please support y/n's artworks and her channel! If I see any negative comments, I'll be taking responsibility and I'll unfortunately have my agency involved in taking those out," he spoke in a commercial tone kind of voice, "And to y/n, I'll be keeping in touch.” The door from behind him suddenly bursts open and Jin, Jimin, and Jungkook rush inside.
“You were talking to her!” Jimin shouts excitedly.
“Finally!” Jungkook claps.
“Is that why you kept the door locked?” Jin teases.
“Bye, everyone!" Taehyung quickly waves goodbye to the camera and smiles before turning the broadcast off. 
You sat there stunned, almost forgetting you were also on live. You turned to your phone which was still recording you, "That was unexpected."
Suddenly, a notification in your DMs popped up. "I'll go ahead and process everything that just happened now, bye guys! See you in my next video." You ended the live with a wave and smile.
You quickly went into your direct messages and found the same username, Kimyeontan95. You opened it and found a picture of Taehyung holding one of your paintings with a peace sign on his other hand, the other members behind him posing with your other works, making you laugh.
Your heart fluttered at the message below the picture.
I hope this isn't too sudden, but would you like to go out with me sometime?
Tumblr media

Jajajq thank you so much! My family has been arguing a lot lately and in a small home it's getting very annoying, and I was wondering if you could do some hcs of Nishinoya and Sakusa trying to calm/comfort their s/o? You can choose either or both of them, I'm very fine with anythinh🥺👉👈 thank you in advance!!💕
a/n: aw anon im so sorry you‘re having to go through that, i know how tough family arguments can be :( if you ever need someone to talk or vent to my ask box or my dms are always open, I’d be happy to listen <3 also I’ve never done an emergency request before, so if these weren’t what you were looking for pls feel free to tell me !
pairings: nishinoya x reader, sakusa x reader
word count: 580
warnings: some mentions of familial struggles
⊱ ────── {⋅. ♡ .⋅} ────── ⊰
Nishinoya Yu
As soon as he hears the sad, dejected note of your voice over the phone Noya immediately drops whatever he’s doing and is on his way to pick you up.
I feel like Noya gives the warmest, most comforting hugs, so as soon as he shows up at your door he wraps you up in his arms and holds you close, murmuring reassurances into your hair as you cry into his chest.
He’s not the best at giving advice, but he is great at distractions !
He’ll insist that you need to get out of the house and away from your family for a bit to clear your head and get a grip on your emotions, so he takes you to a local amusement park, somewhere you can let loose and take out your frustrations on the poor unsuspecting whack-a-moles and drown your sorrows in copious amount of cotton candy and junk food
After you’ve been at it for a few hours, he takes you for ice cream and listens to you vent about your family for as long as you need in between bites of your frozen treats, offering little quips of advice where he can.
By the end of the day you feel totally relieved of all the burdens you’ve been carrying as you’re walking home hand in hand. He offers to let you stay at his place, insisting you can borrow some of his clothes if you still need some time away. If you accept, you’ll spend the night cuddling on the couch and making fun of really bad comedies until you laugh so hard you cry. If you’re okay to go home, he’ll leave you at your door with a sweet kiss to your temple, making you promise to call him if anything happens.
Sakusa Kiyoomi
omg this baby is so unsure of what to do when you show up at his place in tears and frustrated beyond belief, he just kinda freezes since he’s not used to comforting people
However, he hates to see you upset more than he hates germs (and that’s saying something) so he wordlessly pulls you into his chest and just kinda rocks you side to side until your breathing steadies. Then he leads you over to his room, where he gives you a pair of his sweatpants and a hoodie and insists that a nice, hot shower will help clear your head.
After you’ve showered, changed and are feeling surprisingly refreshed, you come out of the bathroom to see Sakusa waiting with a mug of your favorite hot drink and your favorite movie set up on his tv, gesturing for you to get in bed beside him.
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asks once you’re snuggled under the blankets next to him, unsure of what else to do.
If you do, he hangs onto your every word, his frown visibly deepening whenever you describe something one of your family members said or did. He’ll slip his hand into yours, squeezing tight in what he hopes is a comforting gesture, and continue to listen until you can’t talk anymore. He’ll sit for a minute, processing all of the information you just told him, then give you some surprisingly good advice.
If you don’t, he won’t push you. He’ll just start the movie and hold you close to him, running his fingers through your hair and sincerely hoping that it’s enough to make you feel even the slightest bit better.

hey y’all
so, a few weeks ago i posted that, at that time, i really didn’t have concrete plans to update &tfat. there were multiple reasons, but the main being that writing truly was just not enjoyable for me anymore. i was just too - and am still but - hard on myself.
although i’m still ✨mildly✨ unhappy with the last few chapters & the whole fic in general, (take a deep breath & call it a shitty rough draft) someone reached out and offered to commission the entirety of the rest of the fic. i thanked them for the interest but informed them that to commission the remaining 14 chapters would be very expensive. they were insistent they were interested in paying for it.
now, in the interest of transparency, the last time i opened commissions i was completely broke with an inoperable phone when i rely on my phone for everything. my fiscal situation is entirely different now, & i felt a little seedy taking a commission of that size now when money is not something worrying me. i let them know that, and they insisted anyway.
i talked it over with my fiancée and we concluded that i would take the commission if they donated directly to an organization that was really near to me (for homeless lgbt youth that really was a beneficiary to several of my friends - you can dm if you are interested in which one) and they agreed.
they really wish to remain anonymous. when i thanked them again for their generosity, they told me, & i’m paraphrasing for the sake of privacy, “it’s crazy how much has changed since i joined this fandom. a few years ago i would not have had the money to do this. now i’m happy to. there was just a few nights back then when i really needed to read your fic & feel at home. i’m in a much better place now, but i feel like there are people out there who need it now, and i want to pay it forward to them.”
and listen... i warned them that i think a lot of (the fandom in general but esp people who were waiting for an update) have moved on, but they were sure there was one person who’d benefit. i’m posting all of this not to brag, or sound arrogant, but because i just want to throw out a telephone wire between you & this donator, if you feel like you’re that person. beyond me, there is someone thinking of you. i know it’s tough to believe, but there is always someone thinking of you. i just... really want you to know that. i don’t know what else to say.
so. naturally, being me, all of this scares the shit out of me. i really did try & write these chapters before, even if it feels like i didn’t. but i’ve always been a “you got a check, i’ve got a talent” person, & approaching these chapters with a different mindset has allowed me to at least create a product. chapter 37 has been finished for a hot sec, but i felt like it was nearly more important than ever to not land that one on a super long cliffhanger, so i wanted to feel like i had most of 38 banged out first. which i have.
i’m not gonna lie. my self esteem is still garbage. i’m still very anxious about what i’ve written. i feel like most people who were hanging on prolly gave up when i lowkey told them to. but one anon requested that i give a bit of warning before posting should i post, and that’s ✨ what i’m here to do. those who sent me anons of support that went unanswered, they were not ignored. i just didn’t want to pull out this long ✨WOOOEEEE IS MEEE IM SAD BOYYY ✨ discourse on my blog while this whole discussion was actively in place to be like haha thanks for your sympathy but just kidding!!!
i really am trying my best & im trying to channel the energy of my friend & comissioner & genuinely hope that these chapters will touch one person. just one.
all that said. uh. chapter 37 coming late tonight, early tomorrow. (sorry i will never change in this regard.)
i love y’all.
thanks.
