When you have plushies

Pairing: Ot8!skz × Gn!reader (individually)

Genre: fluff, reactions

Request: so if skz had a partner who sleeps / collects plushies??? maybe also add a little where the reader is a tad bit embarrassed of it?

Warnings: none

A/n: if you saw this when I posted it for the first time no you didn't!

Bang Chan

Y'KNOW THAT LAUGH OF HIS

The one that's so adorable and it looks like a giggle while his eyes are like crescent moons

THAT ONE

It's the one he gives you while he tries to understand that somehow he is dating the most adorable human being in the whole world

He literally has no problem if you want to sleep with them, will reassure you when it comes to that

"Do you think I can take one of your plushies with me for the tour? It'd make me feel closer to you"

Lee Know

Of course he will tease you

That's like one of the things that are included in his boyfriend package: relentless teasing

He will stop immediately if he sees that you aren't feeling it though

Will take a picture of you cuddling your favourite teddy bear and set it as his phone's wallpaper

AND will buy you some plushies and put them in his dorm

So you can feel more comfortable even when you're away from your own collection

Will never admit but he cuddles with it when he misses you

"Dori was sleeping with the plushie I bought for you. I'm going to send you a pic"

Changbin

Now that he knows, there is nothing stopping him from buying you thousands of plushies

Your collection will double in less than a month if you let him (please let him)

Might even buy some matching ones so you guys can share something in common

But he'll feel a little betrayed if you don't cuddle him to sleep and instead hug the teddy bear

"Why are you cuddling a plushie when you have me right here?? Like, c'mon now!!"

Hyunjin

You know those things where you can make a teddy bear from scratch and then gift it to someone?

He would do that for you😭

Would probably gift you a personalised plushie in your first valentine's

But overall he finds it adorable

Laughs endearingly every time he sees you sleeping while cuddling one

But will not lose the opportunity to replace the plushie and hug you throughout the night

"Would you rather have a dog or a bear as a plushie? No specific reason"

Han

Wants to give names to some of them lmao

And finds you 200% cuter because of it

Like, he knew you were adorable but you always surpass his expectations somehow

And if you get embarrassed abou it he finds you even cuter

But will make sure you don't have a reason to be embarrassed

He will throw himself in the pile of plushies, feeling like he's in heaven and making sure you knows he likes this side of you as well

"This one looks just like you! Oh my God, it's literally you"

Felix

HE LOVES IT

And he would be so casual about it as well??

Like, you'd be kinda scared of his reaction but then he's just the kindest about this

Wants to know about their names and stories you might have about them

The kind of guy who'd stitch one of them if they need to get repaired (I love him btw)

Tries to win plushies for you in those claw machines

"Which one do you want? I'll win it for you"

Seungmin

Is kinda intimidated at first lmao

Like I can see him just standing still while an army of plushies stare at his soul 😭

After the initial shock though I think he'd find it cute

Especially if there is a plushie who kinda looks like him/his skzoo

If that's the case he'll just tease you (while finding it so endearing)

"You should name this one 'Minnie'"

"I'm not naming every single one of my plushies after you"

"Why not?"

I.N

I think he wouldn't react at first, but mostly because he doesn't know what to do

Will you get sad if he teases you? Will you get embarrassed if he says it's cute?

He ends up not saying anything lol

Acts like he sees a huge collection of plushies every day

Might give you some plushies as gifts after finding out

"I just bought a very cute teddy bear in Japan. I'm giving it to you once I come back home."

There are cameras everywhere, a resounding click of the shutter one after another. Oh, and there's a lot of the color red present in the studio.

People are scattered all over the spacious room that you almost feel small as if every single thing and person in sight is intimidating you. And you're not going to lie, they surely do.

Frankly, if it weren't for your manager who's standing beside you, you might've immediately turned on your heel and walked your way back to the glass doors that you entered earlier, a minute just after arriving at the studio and finding how large of a scale this project actually is. Oh, to be back outside where you didn't feel suffocated and where you couldn't feel anybody's eyes on you.

"What would you do if I backed out…?" You tentatively asked your manager in a low voice, making sure that you were the only ones who could hear it.

You know that she heard you, but still, her eyes remained at the center of the room, where all the cameras are pointed at, and where all of the people's attention are currently drawn to.

"Where'd your previous confidence go? I don't remember seeing this hesitance of yours when I first suggested this project." Your manager replies, eyes still not leaving the subject of everyone's attention.

Because standing and posing effortlessly in the middle of everything is Choi San.

The renowned model, Choi San, whose face and body is probably the cover of every magazine you can think of, and who's dominated all the fashion shows you could only dream of attending, this year alone.

He's the king of the fashion and modeling industry, someone who is highly sought-after by every famous designer that you could possibly name at the top of your head. Choi San is a crowd favorite, he practically owns the runway, and he's a total icon to many—the young and the old, the rookies and the veterans.

And not to mention, he's your role model. Someone who you really look up to and perhaps, someone who you wanted to work with.

Right now, you're about minutes into turning that dream into reality, thanks to your manager and your incredibly impulsive self.

"Your thoughts are so loud, I could practically hear it." Your manager suddenly speaks, cutting through your abysmal thoughts. And then she turns to you, jabbing a finger right at your chest and saying, "But there's no way in hell that I'm letting you back out because, first of all, you'll be working with a supermodel, and second, hello?!" She exclaims the last part in a hushed voice with matching wide gestures, that you visibly flinch. However, it seemed like she couldn't care less because she cups your face and turns your head towards the side of the room where a stunning man dressed in an expensive sparkly black suit with a diamond logo on the tie, stood.

"You'll be wearing his creation! The Damian Luxe!" She squeals near your ear, and you grimace, because she is loud, alright.

Damian Luxe is the owner of one of the biggest and leading fashion brands ever known all over the world—Luxe Looks. And right now, you still can't quite believe how he's just a few steps away from you, seemingly engrossed in a conversation with one of the photographers.

You're not sure how he ended up picking you out of all the models out there. Somehow picking you alongside one of the top iconic faces of the fashion industry, to serve as his muses for his newest fashion collection, which is set to be released and made known to the public in less than a month. The pressure that is placed on you is quite heavy since it's just your second year into this modeling career.

And it is a sudden twist and turn from your usual looks and gigs. From being known as a model who has summer vibes, cute, and freshness up their alley, to starring in an intimate and quite sensual photoshoot in honor of Luxe's brand new and bold fashion collection entitled, Pleasures of the Heart.

"Believe me, I was overjoyed when you first told me about it. But really? You didn't even bother telling me that I'll be partnered up with Choi San? The Choi San?" You put quite an emphasis on the word 'the' in order to get your point across and make your manager realize your current dilemma at hand.

Because knowing you? There's a ninety-five percent of you messing this up because of your clumsy ass, the remaining five percent will be you fainting, by the way.

Oh god, you can't possibly do this right?

What if you embarrass yourself in front of him? Would you be able to live with that memory for the rest of your life?

You think not.

However, you weren't even given that much choice when one of the stylists arrives and steals you away from the comfort of your manager's side in order for you to get dolled up and ready for your photoshoot with Choi San.

Here's to fucking it up, I guess, you think, heaving a sigh as you followed the stylist in one of the rooms.

—𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪

You don't think that Choi San is actually real.

Heck, you didn't even think that someone could possibly make blowing bubble gum as something sexy.

Shivers ran down your spine and goosebumps littered your skin as you watched Choi San angle his face and send sultry looks to every camera pointing at him. If you were confident enough, you might've jumped him already, popping that bubble gum in his mouth and licking it off his lips right after.

Wait what-

You frantically shook your head. Is this what Choi San's alluring effect feels like? Because if it is, then you're so fucked.

Your manager and the stylist earlier, told you that there'll be some duo shots so that means, yes, touching will be involved.

When they first told you that, you weren't sure if you'll be able to pull it off because one, Choi San, is incredibly gorgeous. And two, he's only donned in a coat and pants, and no undershirt in sight! Which leaves a portion of his abs in display for anyone's eyes to feast on—not like you're feasting on them or anything.

You gulp.

Is it really too late to back out?

Moments later, you begin internally thanking the heavens, when Choi San's individual shoot has come to an end and he's called back by one of the stylists for a wardrobe change. Which you think will be in match with the pitch black bodysuit you're currently wearing underneath your robe. The robe isn't part of the look at all, you simply have it on for now because you aren't that confident yet. You honestly think you'll never be but maybe you'll be fine since the stylist said you'll still have one piece to wear later.

A red overcoat to match the red stilettos your feet is currently clad in.

One of the staff tapped you on the shoulder and led you closer to the center, saying that you'll be starting the duo shots in a few minutes.

The staff said it with a sweet smile that you have no choice but to smile back as well even if your insides were already churning and you're starting to break into a cold sweat.

You were in the middle of doing a breathe in and breathe out exercise in order to relax your nerves for a little bit, when you suddenly felt another tap on your shoulder. Thinking that it was probably one of the staff or stylists again, you turned around, only to be met with a pair of deep black cat-like eyes and a dimpled smile.

It was freaking Choi San.

"Nervous?" His voice was a clear rasp. Your knees growing weak at the sight of him in a sheer black tank top, which showed how buff he really was, and the same pants as earlier. His hair is still slick-backed with a few gelled-strands hanging against his forehead. A black biker glasses snugly sitting on top of his head served as his only accessory.

God, he's breathtakingly gorgeous being so close to you like this.

"U-Uh, yes, very, Mr. Choi."

Well done! You just stuttered in front of Choi San. But who wouldn't?

To your surprise, loud laughter comes out from his lips. His pink plump lip—oh would you please snap out of it?!

"Mr. Choi? Oh my, just call me San!" He chuckles. "You're Y/N, right?" He asks, a few moments after, and it prompts you to nod your head.

"You're a pretty little thing aren't you?" San says this so casually that it catches you so off guard, you choke on nothing.

While you're busy trying to re-organize yourself and your breathing, San makes it a mission to further turn you into a flustered mess as he gently pulls you by the waist. Then he leans in, mouth dangerously close to your ear and whispers the words that will certainly haunt your insides for the rest of the time that you'll be stuck in his presence.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you, pretty."

—𓆩ᥫ᭡𓆪

You and San have been receiving praises from left and right ever since the shoot started. You even heard from the head photographer that you two surprisingly share quite a chemistry in front of the cameras even though it's only your first time pairing up together.

Although, you do admit that you've had your awkward moments prior because, first, it is your first intimate photoshoot, second, your outfit is so far the most revealing you've ever worn despite the overcoat you're wearing, and third, San was very close. Too close.

But it's not like you're complaining anyway. In fact, you think you might be enjoying it a little too much than what you've anticipated. And, you just hope it's not noticeable to him or you'd die of embarrassment as soon as you step out of the studio.

Anyway, you felt every exhale that San had made in the past half hour, and it's very ticklish. But you also felt quite feverish with the way his rough hands seemed scalding hot against your skin, despite his touches and hold on you being gentle.

San was nothing but sweet and kind as he gently coaxed you out of your shell, always guiding you with every pose and expression. Because of him, you're starting to get more comfortable with the theme of the set and the overwhelming attention being poured on you two.

But of course, another challenge was bound to appear and send your mind into a haywire.

"Perfect! Now, let's have you sit on top of San." The head photographer suddenly instructs. "But first, I want you to sit on the floor, San." He adds.

All the while San's following the photographer's direction, you're left frozen, standing on the side, not quite sure if you heard the photographer right.

By the time you've snapped out of your thoughts and you're back to your senses, San's already sitting on the floor with his legs slightly spread out, his arms are kind of spread out as well with his palms completely flat on the floor, and he's slightly leaning back with his toned arms supporting his upper body's weight.

And he's looking at you. Looking at you with an expression you can't exactly figure out.

Before the photographer could even call your name and give you instructions as well, San's already beckoning you over with his index finger.

As if entranced, you walk towards him without any word. And when San told you that you should take off your overcoat, you followed him, dropping the piece of clothing to the floor. Then, when San told you to straddle his lap, you did it without any fuss despite your visible shaking which you're certain that he noticed because he's leaning towards you again.

"I got you, pretty. Didn't I say I'll take care of you, hmm?" San whispers against the shell of your ear. "You'll let me take care of you, right?" He asks when he still gets no response from you.

Inhaling deeply, albeit shakily, you nod your head.

Still not shying away from the close proximity, your breath hitches when San's hands come to wrap around your waist, one of them caresses your side, slightly making you jolt at the suddenness of the action.

"Words, pretty. I need words." San hums.

"Y-Yes. I'll let you take care of me."

"Good girl," He purrs and playfully bites your ear lobe, which, again, sent you lightly trembling as you felt the heat which started to creep its way from your lower abdomen and up to your face.

"Now, I want you to only look at me, alright? Can you do that for me?" San asks, thankfully, now with enough gap between the two of you, enabling you to breathe more easily.

"Yeah, I can do that." You reply and this makes San smile, dimples adorning his face once again.

San shifts underneath you for a bit, his palms at the small of your back. He adjusts your position on top of him and then his hands leave you as he goes back to leaning, but this time, with his hands much further back than before. This subtle change enables him to look up at your face more comfortably.

San instructs you to put your hands on his chest instead of being on top of his shoulders as what the photographer has instructed for you to do. And then, he retracts his right hand from the floor and puts it back on your waist instead.

And just like that it has the photographer screaming delightedly the word, "Excellent!"

"Excellent," San mimics in a soft voice, tongue darting out to lick his own lips, all the while his eyes never left yours. And you reckon, yours didn't leave him as well throughout the entirety of the photoshoot.

Well, after having him this close and looking so out-of-this-world while under you, where you can basically see every twitch of his eyebrows, every contraction of his arm muscles, and every bob of his adam's apple, with his attention all on you and you alone the whole time…you're quite not sure if you'll be able to take your eyes off of him ever again.

If this is how it feels to be under Choi San's alluring gaze, then, oh, you're so fucked, because there seems to be no possible escape, at all.

Hello!! I'm in love with your artstyle (especially the way you did the signature spells??? I've been looking at them for a while adsgfdfsf, they look like movie posters tbh and that's fricking cool to me. anyway!! I'm a player on the NA server (btw, I've already seen spoilers of chap 7 due to tumblr/reddit/pinterest, so yeah it's not the most spoiled I've ever been so yea) and yeah. I'm getting through the story okay but do you have any advice for people trying to get through certain events with a more limited life schedule??? Also, what are some of the differences that you notice between the english (if you see a lot of it??) and Japanese versions of the game? sorry if this was a longer ask, i tried to be simple but i wanted to tell you that I loved your art and everything just spiraled AAAAAAH

thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ I've been surprised by how many people really like my posters -- it's kind of a weird style to do fanart in, I guess, but I'm glad other people think it's cool too! :D

(gonna answer out of order because the event stuff turned into a huge block of text, sorry!)

I've seen a few of the localizations, but I don't know a lot about the Eng version, so I can't speak too much about differences. (I do think "housewarden" has a better sound to it than "dorm leader" though...they need a fancy little word to match their fancy little outfits.) I did look up the unique magic/signature spells to see if they were able to somehow work in the glossing -- I'm not even sure how you would localize that without it being super weird, so I don't blame them, but I was a little sad anyway! :( in Japanese, they're all written as Japanese phrases with the English as ruby text, and sometimes they're given a little extra meaning. like -- this is where the episode 7 spoilers I'm tagging are) the words that Mal says are "Fae of Maleficence":

but the meaning of the Japanese is "Blessing", which is a nice little "ooooh" moment given the context of it!

there isn't always an extra meaning, sometimes it's just. super literal. but my other favorite is Jack's, where what he means is "✨howl that pierces the moonlit night✨", but what he actually yells is "UNLEASH BEAST" before turning into a giant dog. what a good boy.

as for event advice (under the cut, because this was already getting long)...

speaking as someone who is 100% F2P and therefore also tends to get kind of burnt by some of these events -- the #1 most important thing is to just...make peace with not getting everyone. :') I am a collector-type person, so it definitely gets grating when I can't have all the fancy PNGs my little packrat heart desires. generally though: never do random pulls, always be saving your keys and gems between events. (once a month you can buy a 10-set from Sam for a 50 gem discount, and logging in on a character's birthday will give you a 10-set for free, so make sure to do those!). when the event info starts coming out, pick one or two cards that you really want and work specifically towards those, focusing on grinding out the items and/or using your saved-up pulls on their specific banner. and in the end, accept that it might just not be meant to be, even if you hit the 100-pull pity SSR no I'm not still bitter over fairy gala Ortho why do you ask. if the event doesn't have any cards that you really want, take it as an opportunity to save for the next one!

hoard your star fragments (the things that restore AP) -- if you're going for a card that requires grinding event items to permanently unlock, and the item is one you get from lessons, you can use star fragments to bump your AP up to 30 at a time (10 is the limit that will restore over time, but 30 is the max you can have at once). that makes for a looong lesson loop, but I usually get about 50-60 items per 30 lessons, and I just let it run in the background while doing other stuff. (usually these items are what also unlock the event story, so I'll do a huge amount of lessons first thing and then have enough to get the whole story at once. 👍) it can get really grindy, but events go on for a while so it's not usually that bad if you space it out a bit, instead of waiting until the last minute to try and get those last 600 items (cough) (cough).

if it's one of the ones where you get the item from doing a rhythmic, you get the same amount of items no matter how well you do, even if you miss every note. so you can just...tap occasionally to restart it and get the same effect. if it's a battle one, you do have to actually win to get the item, but once you figure out the sweet spot of a team setup + highest battle level where you win every time, it becomes basically the same deal.

so...yeah, tl;dr you can get away with a lot just by setting things up to run in the background and paying just enough attention to tap through some of the menus. it does require a certain amount of time to just leave your phone while still sorta-kinda paying attention to it, so it might not work for everyone, but that's the best way I've found to get through most events!

#twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #i feel like i just emerged from juice hell from getting my sunset lilia #and yet here i am diving right into tuna hell for my grim #it's okay i wasn't using these ap on anything else anyway #i have gotten SUPER lucky on some of these events #like i think the only halloween card i'm missing is ace #which is nuts considering how many of those are ssrs #but then i didn't manage to get a single one of the birthday diasomnias past the first year :(#we're not going to talk about the dorm dias. we just aren't.#the gacha giveth and it taketh away

oh also it just hit me why queer men *and* incels like anime

anime doesn't have the same toxic gender ideals as mainstream usa media has. probably has different ones but men are allowed to not be performing toxic masculinity and not be immediately troped as creepy perverted weirdo who's weird and freakish about sex and in general (i hate hollywood so much).

there's even a kind of anime trope about a guy whos a big loser and over the course of the story he gets to be cool and badass and maybe even the things that made him a loser inspire his power later on (i'm thinking about SAO right now but only got the abridged version in my head so im not 100% certain kirito is cast as an irl loser in the og sao too but for sure the "likes videogames" is what gives him the advantage).

and the thing about men is that there's two classes of men. the incels call them chads vs virgins or alpha males vs beta males. queer men might call them cishets vs queer people. or privileged men vs opressed men.

the two classes thing is true about women as well btw, mainstream feminists these days will pretend there isn't two classes of women but who got bullied in highschool vs who got bullied is by no means random and it works the same way for men. it's about how gender conforming you are perceived to be. are you "a real woman"/"a real man"? or are you a defective one?

queer man and incels are groups that are very different obviously, but they share the trait of being in the class of "defective men". they can't measure up to toxic masculinity standards because they're gay or they don't even like all that stuff or maybe they do but they just suck at imitating it. the difference is that queer men, once they (we) identify as queer, often learn to embrace this second class as liberating and stop trying to match up to societal standards. same goes for queer "defective women" people and when the freaks from both sides join forces gender roles get thrown in the garbage and only taken out to play with and that's why -- in my personal experience -- among queer folks the gender you are or were or whatever doesn't really set you apart from your peers as much as it does in cishet/ "first class gender" circles. or at all even.

but the incels somehow didn't find that liberation and instead hunkered down in their toxic blackpill communities making each other worse. they know they are defective men and their analysis of gender conformance among men has some good points, but. i don't know maybe they are too authoritarian to even consider that breaking social norms can be a good thing or maybe they're too white and cis-straight to even want to join the same group as the queer freaks or i dont fucking know why someone becomes an incel instead of joining forces with other freaks and lift each other up.

to return to anime. i think it's because anime gives what men from hollywood-poisoned societies can perceive as freedom to be a second class man and still being a person.

anime conventions are strange places, i don't know any other places where so many queer and queerphobic people occupy the same spaces. (anecdotal evidence: all but one queerphobic remarks i've had said to me in public (men's) bathrooms were at anime conventions)

(wip but posting cuz i dont trust drafts)

Your headcanons are always wonderful and accurate, can I please request some for shiratorizawa if you want?

oh my god hell yeah anon let's go

tendou's studying playlist is just all chill lofi remixes of pokemon soundtracks. he also loooooves those nanoblock pokemon figures you build yourself and wants to collect the entire eevee evolution line for his desk

(i have a galarian ponyta btw and i am totally accepting name suggestions for it)

the one way to piss off semi real fast is to say "and now, wonderwall!" whenever he walks into the room with his guitar

also may i introduce you to this wonderful thing called semiten

i kind of get the feeling they don't get along as first-years? first-year tendou is bffs with ushijima which means he's finally settled into being needlessly obnoxious bc ushijima is unflappable and takes tendou's bullshit with the utmost sincerity and first-year semi is hungry and aching and determined to prove himself

it is a terrible terrible combo at first

but, slowly, they settle into each other much like how dust settles into the cracks and crevices of a house long loved

and then second year happens and shirabu comes and everything falls apart again LMAAAAAAAAAOOOO

y'all know i love shirabu but like. goddamn if second-year semi wasn't full of angst and awkwardness about growing up and puberty and being cast to the side and all tendou wanted to do was reach out and grab him by the shoulders and yell in his face "YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH YOU IDIOT I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU YOU'RE ENOUGH"

anyways

yamagata wanted to get his ears pierced but he's also afraid of needles so reon had to hold his hand through it the entire time

tendou somehow has access to the dorm rooftop because of course he does and he makes the team have picnics up there for bonding time

goshiki: "shirabu-san, would you still set for me if i was a worm?" shirabu: "what makes you think i'd set for you now?"

during a joint practice match with karasuno narita praises goshiki and goshiki starts tearing up

karasuno first-year crew is genuinely so blessed to have the upperclassmen they do. like guys come on think about it they are SO spoiled with it like holy hell i feel terrible for the other miyagi first years

(that deserves its own separate post tho)

someone starts the rumor that tendou is an esper and he does absolutely nothing to deny this, but he DOES do everything to confirm it. one of his classmates will be like "haha yeah i lost my textbook i guess i'll have to get a new one" and tendou will be like "ooh you should try looking inside the music room piano after five pm ;)" and the classmate is like "wtf" bc they've never been to the music room in their life but they go do it anyways and it's THERE

(tendou may or may not have paid goshiki to swipe the textbook and plant it)

KAWANISHI my beloved i haven't forgotten him

yeah yeah kozume kenma is a master gamer BUT kawanishi taichi is on the 3713th level of candy crush which is also, coincidentally, the level that i am on right now

also i think kawanishi is def one of those ppl who has earbuds tucked in at all times bc a) he thinks it makes him look cool and b) it keeps people from talking to him

and if they do try talking to him he just whips out his phone and makes a big show of blasting the volume to the point where the other person can hear it coming from his earbuds

also you know how tendou told semi that he looks uncool in casual clothes??? that's definitely a cover-up for tendou thinking semi looks really good in them

tendou, lying face-down in his pillow on the dorm floor: " - and did you see the ripped jeans??? ripped jeans are SO stupid they shouldn't even look that good he should have been freezing his ass off but noooooo he looked like he stepped out of a goddamn MAGAZINE - " reon, texting yamagata at the same time: "you need to raid semi's closet and burn his clothes i can't do this anymore"

#they are SO stupid i love them #FUKURODANI ANON IF YOU'RE READING THIS I'M WORKING ON THAT ONE NEXT #semiten #ushijima wakatoshi #tendou satori #semi eita #yamagata hayato #ohira reon #shirabu kenjirou #kawanishi taichi #goshiki tsutomu #haikyuu!!#haikyuu hcs #haikyuu #sou says stuff

5 Times Kurt Talks About Sex and 1 Time He Doesn't (Part Two)

A/N: So, this was inspired the other day by a Nonny who was asking about how Kurt interacts with others on the topic of sex and this little idea popped in my head.

It’s a little mini-series, and I’ll post one part a day, then I’ll get it up on Ao3 after it’s complete.

It’s set in a post-canon-ish world when they’re all living in New York. The whole thing takes place over the course of a day.

Btw - for this one, I reference one of my other fics - With Every Broken Bone. You don't need to have read it or anything - but if you're wondering where I pulled the idea that Kurt had a one-night stand, that's where.

****

Conversation Two: Elliott

Kurt finishes the rest of his bagel and throws the paper wrapper into a nearby trash can. He still has a full cup of coffee to enjoy, and even though the stand’s regular roast is a bit bland, he’ll still take all the cheap coffee he can get in a day.

“You’re late,” Kurt says as he sips from the styrofoam cup. It’s nearly eleven and he does have lunch plans, but he and Elliott have been taking a Saturday morning walk in Central Park for half a decade now, and Kurt isn’t one to change his routine so easily.

“Yeah, I know, I know…” Elliott looks a little haggard. Despite the spring sun shining around them, Elliott’s lacking his usual energetic demeanor. “This guy I hooked up with didn’t want to leave the apartment. He kept wanting to snuggle.”

“Oh, the horror,” Kurt deadpans. He motions to the stand but Elliott brushes it off, not seeming interested despite having the knowledge that this little food cart has the best cream cheese in the park. Instead, they start down their usual path.

“Yeah, and then he spent an hour telling me about his antique birdhouse collection,” Elliott says. “I mean, you do you and everything, but I’ve got places to be.”

“Why did you even pick this guy?”

“Kurt, seriously…” Elliott stops them in their tracks a moment, and waits until an older woman walking her dog passes by. “He had the most beautiful cock that I have ever seen. I thought, when he sent me a pic, that he had doctored it somehow. But nope - good god, it was a work of art. Okay, why the look?”

“C’mon,” Kurt shrugs a little as they pick up walking again. “Let’s not kid ourselves. I may be fond of them, but the penis, by design, is hardly a work of art.”

“This guy’s was.”

“Fine, let’s say it was. Did you really think the most artistically designed dick was really going to be attached to the world’s most perfect human specimen?” Kurt asks.

“You know, you can judge me all you want - and, sure we only had, like, a sixty-seven percent match on the app,” Elliott continues. “But I got to play with the most beautiful cock, possibly, in North America.”

Kurt rolls his eyes a little, as he shakes his head. All these stories seem to run the same after awhile, and it’s times like these, he’s glad he’s married and settled. “Well, maybe next time you should downgrade a little and try a dick attached to a personality that better suits you.”

Elliott eyes him sharply. “It’s not like I’m expecting you to understand.”

“Understand what?”

Elliott plays it coy a little, which is unlike him. “The allure of just wanting to enjoy a beautiful cock for what it is.”

Kurt snaps his head abruptly. “I’ll have you know that Blaine has a--”

Elliott holds up his hand to stop him. “I have no doubt that whatever Blaine has is lovely. But Kurt, how many actual pensises have you seen in real life?”

Kurt scrunches his nose. “More than I’ve ever asked for. I’ve seen yours.”

Elliott grumbles. “Yeah, cause you don’t know how to knock before entering a room. No, I mean, how many have you seen actually up close? Two?”

“It’s been more than two,” Kurt says defensively.

“Has it?”

Kurt grumbles into his coffee, wondering why numbers are even important. “Fine, if we’re really going to go there… I mean, Blaine, obviously. Myself.”

“You can’t count yourself.”

“Ug, alright, well when Blaine and I broke up the first time I dated this British guy named Adam.”

“Oh god, you would date a British guy,” Elliott chuckled. “Did he also have a tattoo of the queen on his thing?”

“No,” Kurt shot back. “He was really pale though.” He slowed his walk to think about it further. “There was that one-night stand I had the summer after I called off the engagement. But, you know, I can’t even remember it all that well.”

“What about that dude who was older than your dad?” Elliott asks, wiggling his eyebrows as if it was a scandalous secret Kurt had kept all these years.

“Oh my god - I had forgotten about Walter…” Kurt replies. That had barely been a thing. “Yeah, we may have messed around a little. You know, his dick was much nicer than you’d expect. But my god, he did not know what to do with it. I honestly felt really bad for his ex-wife.”

“And…if my calculations are right, that’d bring us back to Blaine, so unless there’s a threesome in there that I don’t know about that brings your total to five.”

Kurt continues to sip his coffee, still mulling it over. “I mean…there was the one time I had to do a sex scene in a play, and I caught more than my fair share of my scene partner’s junk. But he had some weird stuff going on under the hood, so probably not even worth mentioning. I mean, like, weird piercings weird.”

“Ew.”

“I know.”

“So, there we have it,” Elliott says. He holds his hands out wide, as if some great conclusion had been stumbled upon. “My point stands.”

“There was a point to this?”

“What I’m saying is this,” Elliot says. “You’ve tried, like, five flavors of ice cream and decided you were done when there’s a vast array of ice cream flavors just waiting to be tasted. And, sure, some may leave you bloated and gross and won’t shut up about endangered birds of North America but my god it was worth it while you were eating it.”

“Why do people always use ice cream when making their sex metaphors?”

“Who doesn’t love ice cream?”

“Lesbians, probably.”

“It’s a multipurpose metaphor, Kurt, and you’re intentionally getting off topic.”

“I just think it’s a ridiculous point,” Kurt says, a layer of irritation in his voice. How is this a conversation they even ended up having? “Have you ever stopped to think about quality over quantity? How many guys, on average, do you think you pick up a week?”

Elliott thinks it over. “I don’t know, maybe one or two on a good week.”

“Wow - I didn’t realize it was that many.”

“You’re being judgy again, Kurt…”

“Anyway…” Kurt says, with a long gulp of his coffee - lamenting that he’s almost done with the cup. “On average, I’d say Blaine and I mess around three or four times a week. So, comparatively, I’m having my expensive, always satisfying sweet treat twice as often and always at my disposal while you scrounge around trying to engorge yourself on any freezer burned dessert in a decently wrapped package, trying to trick yourself into thinking that the ice cream sandwich stuck at the bottom is marginally better because it has that chocolate cookie included, but once you try it, it’s not nearly as edible as it initially looked. Well, you can keep your most likely chemically encrusted, cheap ice cream. I want my gourmet vanilla with caramel sauce every time. ”

Elliott remains quiet for a long beat. “I think you killed the metaphor.”

“Well, it was your metaphor,” Kurt shoots back. “Besides, would you have preferred me to say that my husband might not be breaking the art world with his cock but his is the most beautiful to me and I would rather be fucked by that than by anything else?”

Elliott lets out a hearty laugh. “Kurt, I love it when you're poetically crude."

Kurt grumbles again as he tosses the empty coffee cup into a trash can on the side of the path. “And for the record, there’s nothing wrong with liking birds.”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“Nothing - Don’t worry about it.”

Random Yuurivoice Powerpuff Boys HCS

Was in a silly goofy mood (i was bored as shit-) so I came up with some headcanons for Yuuri's powerpuff boys <3

Alphonse:

He constantly rants on and on about how terrible black licorice is but behind closed doors he is om-nomming that shit UP same

He's Bi gender (real)

With that being said he actually wears the top from the boy toy stuff and a skirt quite often (slay king)

He's always wanted some sort of pet (mostly a cat) but the poor boy already has a bit of problems so he's just waiting at this point.

He actually needs glasses, like, needs them.

He is horribly near sighted but he's really stubborn so it took him up to his dilf years to actually wear some damn glasses-

He's a good cook, he's trash at baking and some breakfast but he has mastered other foods

But he still only makes kraft mac-n-cheese-

He has a HUGE squishmellow collection

A lot of them are set near his bed but he puts all his favorites on the bed (but don't tell them that ofc-)

This man 100% has everything you'd ever need for an at-home spa day just on hand all the time.

Like- he has a closet just dedicated to it <3

He played volleyball in middle school thru high-school that's why his ass is so thicc

At first he only played it because his parents wanted him to do a sport for at least a year and volleyball looked the easiest to him

Then he played again

And again

All the way up until he graduated hs

He's really good at it too

His attacks in vb are probably enough to turn someone into a donut- Rengoku?

Seth:

Lemme just say he made fun of Al for playing volleyball just bc-

(He still went to every game)

He was a theater kid you cannot convince me otherwise

He got all the lead roles once he got good

Every single time-

Y'know those little rubber band bracelets you can make? Yeah well he made matching ones for both him and Al when they where kids and he still wears it (Al does too btw)

And if he where to get all the shit he needed he'd make one for you too <3

GOLDEN. RETRIEVER.

I swear he is the definition of a Golden Retriever Boyfriend-

He will do absolutely anything for you babes

Oh, you're feeling too sad and tired to do anything today? Suddenly he slipped and he cleaned the entire house, did all the shopping, AND made you your favorite meal 🤷

Also, c u d d l e s

As I've stated before Seth is little spoon..

But he's also really warm somehow

Like no matter how cold it is outside he's still like a fucking heating pad-

So there's really no need for a blanket w/ him

You can tell when his emotions are heightened bc his accent will begin to slip

(I'm pretty sure that's happened in a lot of the actual videos-)

He's an amazing singer i will not argue with anyone on this-

Finn:

FLUTE HE PLAYS THE FLUTE-

EITHER THE FLUTE OR A CLARINET I'M NOT ARGUING ABT IT-

He really likes playing his instrument, when he's not at his flower shop or in his garden he's playing it

HELP BC ALL I CAN IMAGINE IS THIS MAJESTIC MF JUST SLAYING AWAY ON THE FLUTE AND I DIDNJ JUST- AAA-

He actually doesn't have a favorite flower, if you where to ask him he'd say a new one every time because he likes them all!

Though he thinks Red Spider Lillies are really beautiful to look at

They're not his favorite favorite but still

He has a bunny named 'Marguerite' or 'Maggie'

(This is what she looks like):

He always gets so worried when he has late nights at the shop bc like- what if his baby ran out of food or smth?

He has his attic all cleaned out so he can go up there to read or sketch in the sun/moonlight

Anyways that's all I have!

If you have any story ideas make sure you

A: Check out my pinned post and my acc intro if you haven't already

and B: Leave it in my ask box!!

Love ya <33

summer holiday matchmaking please!!

AAA HI HI DARLING!!

summer holiday matchmaking is kinda rogue but so silly to me it's something i thought of aaages ago and still haven't like properly started writing but it's very fun, it's basically the whole pre-marauders gang going on holiday to zabini's villa in italy in the summer one year and she's literally going about trying to set everyone up w each other...

more below the cut bc this got long.....

zira (zabini, btw i did have a reason that i can't remember anymore but i started calling her that in my head and now i can't stop so we're sticking w it) is there... obviously. and she has this whole major matchmaking scheme that doesn't go entirely right all the time but gets the right results anyway... like she manages to get most of the couples that she wants to get together to get together

the couples in questions areeee:

bella and rita, bc this is me we're talking about and i can't live without quillkiller, and they're circling each other like prey in this one like i think they take the longest to get together bc they just kinda don't want the chase to end

cissy and alice, they're so special to me!!! lots of very nervous kinda moves being made but also like... cissy figures out what zira is doing So quickly and immediately goes into denial about liking alice lol so there's a bit of difficulty there

rodolphus and antonin, my precious angry babies, you already know my thoughts about them as enemies to enemies who fuck and i don't think this is much different like they're not enemies really but zira just manages to gets them to fuck it out rather than scream at each other and calls it a job well done

frank and rabastan, quite sweet i think but i haven't entirely figured this one out it's just general vibes and pasta dough kneading atm

ted and andromeda, this is an already established relationship and they're very sweet and happy and in love etc etc bc they deserve it

lucius and gideon (prewett), but this is more of an unexpected one night stand rather than a relationship so this is very very minor (they somehow end up worming their way into half my fics like this)

also another already established relationship, potentially molly and arthur weasley?? bc i saw this tiktok one time talking about arthur and andy being friends and i was kinda like.... yeah?? maybe??

oh and then also fabian (prewett) and the carrow twins are all gonna be there too like that's their big friend group that spans several school houses and years (although i've lessened the age gap a bit like the black sisters are all just one year apart from each other in this like cissy just finished 5th year, andy just finished 6th and bella just finished 7th, and the rest of their friends span those years like accordingly yk)

also i was thinking of writing this from zira's pov, so it's all kinda an outsiders pov of the various relationships which i just thought would be really interesting to do... but tbh i haven't properly started writing this yet, i've just mapped out the general vibes

there's gonna be a bunch of lounging by the poolside, chatting on the deckchairs, beaches, clubs, cocktails, matching tattoos, house parties, italian food, skinny dipping, drinking games, pasta making, gossiping and DRAMA!! lots of drama and zira is just sitting back and relaxing and having the absolute time of her life......

anyway that's that for now!!!

i just want to tell you that i followed your blog for the destiel memes and the boys shitposting (butchie supremacy)

but even my five-year-long football special interest never prepared me for a messi stan account

i now think its very funny whenever those posts turn up on my dash and my internal thought process is: “my dad would be so disappointed that i no longer remember what this means. but its okay cuz messi’s hot and that all i need to know.”

i remember absolutely fuck all from those five years btw

that is 1) so much 2) such a coincidence that you're a destiel and butchie shipper with a previous football special interest. like i feel like people with these three fandoms/interests specifically are. not that common. maybe there's like four of us like the chosen ones or smth. maybe its just you and me idk. i love finding people with a weirdly specific set of interests that have nothing to do with each other and somehow match mine like i always wonder how did we get here. what brain connexions did you make that i also made in the process. not to sound like an crazy scientist but it makes me want to study our brains under a microscope and compare them. anyway. i slept three hours don't mind me

but by god, a messi stan account is. shskjss first off i love that that IS an accurate description of my account at this point ive never thought of that. second i feel like if youre into football and also a fandom person (and especially since im argentinian) a messi stan account seem like the natural thing to happen like yeah ofc this would become a messi stan account with the amount of people including me who have a near religious thing going on with this man that makes perfect sense to me sjhskjs

but that is SO true messi IS hot and thats all that matters

also if you remember was your special interest just football in general or any specific teams/players/etc. im curious now im invested

Hi Sweetpopcorn, thank you for all your dedication in “the blacks and the greens”. I love those characters very much, but somehow I am a little sad that Viserys’ ending. It seemed no one actually mourned for him except for his daughter. He is really a good father in your work but somehow I really question whether he truly loved his daughter that much in canon for he could actually see that the union of Rhaenyra and Lanor isn’t a happy one.

Hi there Anon 🤗

Aww 💔 poor Walserys. RIP. Unfortunately his poor habits caught up with him (spoiler not really spoiler: it was diabetes).

I'm kidding XD

His grandkids were also sad, especially baby Aegon who continued wearing black and the times he did not was because his parents told him not to.

Of course I made him a father more concerned with his daughter's feelings and slightly more intelligent for plot purposes (🥲). Honestly in canon marrying Rhaenyra to Laenor - against her will - was one of the stupidest things he did and a blatant and sad show of disregard for Rhaenyra's feelings and happiness. Still I would argue he loved her.

It was very standard to have arranged marriages, even Viserys had one when he was younger, being married to Rhaenyra's mother Aemma. Of course that he likely found some happiness in it - though we are told very little about their marriage except how much they both loved Rhaenyra and how many pregnancies/babies they lost.

It was very possible that he believed Rhaenyra would eventually see Laenor as a great match for her and find some happiness as well. I really don't believe he was coming from a malicious place of wanting to harm her, even because, selecting a husband for her was something that was very carefully considered by him and his council. They did a sh:t job of course, and Rhaenyra told them to f_ck off and just went to have an affair and three children by Harwin Strong and barely saw Laenor for six years (ups sorry people who romanticise Rhaenyra's forced and unhappy marriage), but oh well good intentions and all of that.

The only concession on this that I will give is that I do think him being dead set on marrying her to Laenor and even threatening her was not because he thought the marriage was THAT good, but because he was being stubborn and did it as a way of displaying his strength and dominance over her. Like I am THE KING you have to do what I say. We had seen Walserys having such moments before. Unfortunately though I think he mostly picked the wrong battles and the wrong moments to act like a dragon but oh well 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yet again, I do maintain I think he, like mostly people really, had mostly good intentions. Most of us don't go around actively trying to screw others or cause them harm. We think we are doing what's best. Parents especially do this and when they hurt us, most times they aren't trying to hurt. Nor does it mean they do not love us. They are imperfect people, like we all are, and are just thinking what they think will be most beneficial for us. I think this was for the most part what Viserys was doing in canon (i.e, book canon btw which is the only one I consider and discuss).

All the best to you and thank you so much!!!! Your words mean the world to me🥰

#rhaenyra targaryen #viserys targaryen #canon rhaenyra targaryen #canon viserys targaryen #fire and blood #the rogue prince #the princess and the queen #pre asoiaf #man this marriage was just a trainwreck #one of the smartest things Rhaenyra did in fire and blood was fighting against it #we love her so much for it <3 #say no to arranged marriages #rhaebae you deserved so much better than a man who could never love you #and that you did not choose #popcorn answers #the blacks & the greens

Asks you about your journalist oc asks you about your journalist oc asks you abo- /pos

YES!! YES!!!! So Bombus 'Buddy' is the journalist, they're chill in a contained anxiety way. and Autism way. They're a grumpus of very little words yet somehow everyone tends to let words spill out around them. Theyre just a comforting person to be around, they're always listening and while they'll have snarky remarks if you start it, its usually something that'll make you reflect on yourself and not close up. Bombus was planning their whole early life to be a veterinarian but something happened that made them spiral into journalism and taking a major career change. This helps when they go to snaktooth island. For their 'current' job they do mostly cryptozoology because its fun and people like it. Bombus likes conspiracies because they're fun to think about not because Bombus believes them- even if they've uncovered a few themselves. Bombus has like another pen name for more serious things they do stories on so they don't get their head blown off. Not that it would, but they're very paranoid about disappearing in the middle of the night. On the island of Snaktooth, Bombus is a little obsessive with documenting absolutely everything (mirroring my 100% playthrough lol). They have multiple journals and they regularly talk to Floofty and Triffany for the more science-y stuff. That's their professional journal though. The journal Beffica gave them is the original they lug around with them everyone and write field notes in along with the issues everyone else has. Because its habit at this point to write down everyone else's issues. Beffica is also a close friend of theirs honestly because Bombus loves loves to gossip and know things. Bombus just considers themselves friends with everyone on the island!! Maybe less so Cromdo but hes fun to get into arguments with about haggling and non existent money. Think around a week into their adventures on Bugsnax island they find a unique sort of Bugsnax based off the food Mousse. They don’t have any fun bugsnax name because theyre literally a mouse!! Which is what Bombus calls her, mostly because they didnt know how to pronounce ‘mousse’ before. Theyre a weird sort of bugsnax that genuinely struggles and will attack you if you try to eat it, and Bombus tends to talk to it like she can actually talk back. Mousse is always on or around Bombus and everyone else...is a little uncomfortable with it. Even Gramble. Mousse doesnt like gramble. Gramble doesnt like mousse. She fills him with dread. (This is based on how i had another person in the vc with me helping while I played bugsnax) Bigsnax and ending spoilers after this point btw

Bombus has always been a little paranoid, not as bad as Snorpy is but being an investigator as long as Bombus has will give you the kinda gut instinct that makes the rest of your normal life nerve wracking. When Bombus went to Broken tooth island and found that key in that cave it fucked them up. That shouldnt of been there. at all. It doesnt match the rest of the area in the slightest and the triangle scheme reminds them of the stupid grumpinati thing Snorpy talks about. Bombus doubts it was planted there, but when they find the triplicate space and the tapes it basically sets up what they do from there on out. They document every single fucking inch of that place. Taking books and the tapes and taking so many pictures their camera starts heating up. They also quickly capture Joey Quickbeans and adopt them as their own bugsnax pet along with Mousse. Mostly cause they want to return them to Alegander? Or as like...’plz dont kill me im holding ur dog hostage’ When they leave Snaktooth they take a Small Detour from helping everyone not die to save all of their research, which they’ve painstakingly taken the time to put into easy to transport journals and tapes thank fuck, so it only takes quickly putting it on and bolting. Everyones also very mad when they hear Mousse. Because they just learned Bugsnax are parasites and suck. Bombus Also has Joey and Sprout in their bag but the others don’t know about it. I like to think a year or two after snaktooth Bombus talks to gramble and mentions Sprout to see if maybe he’d want them back. (He...thinks on it. He might. Hes conflicted. Also a little mad Bombus brought it but also grateful?) The next step of their story is research the Triplicate, Snakolytes and find Alegander. And get distracted for a bit doing a favour and trying to clear Snorpy and Floofty’s names. Skimming over the romance with Floofty cause while I like it, it may not be everyones cup of tea so ill probably talk about it in other posts :-) I am planning on making a fic for it though!!

#pyropost #bugsnax #the journalist #Bombus 'Buddy' Redacted #WOOF I really rambled here!!#If u have any further questions plz ask them #I love love love to talk about my little guys gamers #I also want to make a bugsnax inscryption au..both ways.#As in the bugsnax characters in inscryption #and the inscryption characters in bugsnax

hey! How are you, baby? Well, I saw an anonymous asking for jealous nerd oc. So, here is a scenario - a typical pick me girl being obsessed with Jeongguk and stalking him around, dressing up for him, blah blah. And when Jeongguk joined the lecture on someday (a miracle), he gets the pick me girl as his seat/project partner. When he tells the oc, she gets a bit jealous, noticing this, Jeongguk teases her further by saying how cute/sexy the pick me girl is and how breathtaking she looks when she ties her hair up.

(THIS PART IS TOTALLY OPTIONAL)

Bonus- TaeTae coming to rescue and flirting with the oc in front of Jeongguk to make him jealous and saying the exact words Jeongguk said about the pick me girl.

(Btw I claim myself as 🍯anon)

ok so i wrote this a LONG ASS time ago but i never posted it cuz of the hiatus but here you go if you're still here honey anon💀💀💀

The song that plays in Jungkook's headphones is nothing short of cheesy by his standards, but it makes sense as to why you'd send it to him to brighten up his morning; it's sweet and romantic. You know he's cranky when he wakes up early, and somehow found it to be the perfect time to host a listening party of your playlist with him.

It only helps with his frown that ceases when he sits in the back row of the lecture hall, his seatmate not on his mind as he focuses on the music that he would shut down instantly had it not been you that sent it to him. You don't have a morning lecture today, but you're awake nonetheless to virtually accompany him. It's a thoughtful gesture, so he bobs his head along to the beat of falling for you by peachy.

So cheesy, he thinks with a scrunch of his nose, though his lips reluctantly tug up to a small smile.

The volume is not too loud in his ears, just enough to relax as he lays his head on the desk with his forearms as a pillow. It's peaceful, relating to the lyrics that you specifically chose for him to listen to. It's like a constant reminder of your relationship, and warmth fills his chest though his exterior shows nothing of such. He experiences the bliss internally and dims his eyes like he's been wanting to ever since he opened them half an hour ago. His comfortable attire allows him to stretch his limbs, perfectly positioned for his nap.

He drifts off easily before the professor shows up, his phone waiting in his fist to boom with the alarm by the end of the lesson.

It's not the default ringtone that jolts him awake, but the gentle shake of his shoulder. He blinks drowsily and slowly sits up, already irritated by the abrupt awakening when he sees the source. It's a girl who has her brown hair up in a messy bun, smiling down at him as she takes her hand off him. Her clothing is similar to his: loose and dark like a pajama set. He can't recall if he's ever seen her through his blurry vision.

"We were dismissed early," she explains the emptied room when he looks around after lowering his headphones to his neck.

He merely nods and rubs his eyes as he stands while clutching the sling of his bag. "Thanks," he rasps and takes on a slow pace while heading to the exit. He doesn't look back at her when she follows him from behind.

"I'm Yuna, by the way," she confidently tells his back.

"Mhm." His voice is gruff and he wants nothing more than to fall back asleep. He tries to remember in his sleepy daze if you have a lecture soon. Maybe you'll let him nap in your dorm.

The two students are out of the room when she peeps, "You're Jungkook, right?"

"Yes." He trudges to the gates of the building.

"Did you hear about the group project?" She walks beside him as he shakes his head. "We were assigned just now. It's in pairs."

"Thanks for letting me know."

"Yeah, sure, no problem," she chuckles. They pass all the roaming students in the hall just before slipping past the doors. A soft breeze wafts over Jungkook's face, and it feels so nice that his footsteps slow down just to enjoy it longer. She climbs down the short set of stairs with him, matching his speed as she offers, "wanna be my partner?"

The questions prompts him to finally turn to observe her. He cocks a brow with narrowed eyes; he has to relate her appearance to her intelligence. Always judge a book by its cover. "Are you good at the course?"

"Pfft," she rolls her eyes with a teasing smile, but when she notices his serious look, she hesitantly answers, "Yeah. Kind of?"

His tongue pokes at his cheek in thought. Kind of good isn't fit for his standards; he needs an excellent grade. "Does this project affect my GPA?"

"Nah, I mean, by like .5%."

"Pass." He aims to walk past her, but she blocks his path with a scoff.

"Dude, I'm not that bad. I can totally get us a full grade."

"Have you ever gotten one?"

"Yeah!"

"Fine."

A triumphant smile grows on her face before she takes out her phone from the pocket of her sweatpants. "Let's exchange numbers."

————

"Fucking hell," Jungkook groans to himself when another notification dings from his phone. It's been a few days since his first encounter with Yuna, and she's been relentless with her texts to become something more than partners.

He's lying down on your bed while waiting for you to return from your study session with your other nerd friends, and even his phone can't distract him from his impatience. He can't even watch a video in peace.

She's sent him a hundred memes by now, and he can't even bring himself to wonder why she hasn't run out of them by now because even the thought of Yuna fills him with dread. He ignores her as long as the messages don't include any information regarding their task. As if she isn't annoying enough, her memes aren't even funny. Only one or two have made him release a breath more forcefully through his nose.

yuna: yo dude

yuna: you play league of legends?

He usually swipes the notifications away from his screen without reading any of her texts, but the mention of the game has him frowning.

Jungkook: how do u know that

yuna: i saw ur liked tweet lol

Jungkook: u follow my twitter?

yuna: image.jpg

He blinks at his phone until the image loads, and his brows slightly raise when he sees the screenshot of her rank: diamond bordered. He's a rank lower—platinum—but even that took a lot of time to reach. He's more envious than impressed.

yuna: yeah lol

yuna: ur retweets are funny

He closes the messaging app to return to his video until another notification pops up.

yuna: u wanna 1v1?

yuna: i wanna make u cry

A scoff resounds in the room. Like he would walk all the way to his dorm to play one game. He resumes the Overwatch stream.

yuna: ur probably silver lol

yuna: just one game man cmon

yuna: unless ur too pussy lmfao

Yeah, he would.

————

It was only out of mere curiosity that Jungkook played against Yuna, but it was the choking defeat that drove him to keep going. They played six matches until he got too riled up from her chat and left.

yuna_not_mercy: u should just stick to playing support

yuna_not_mercy: ur fr losing to a girl LMAO

yuna_not_mercy: does ur gf play the game

yuna_not_mercy: maybe she can be your support

yuna_not_mercy: like every other girl who plays this game

jk97SK: do u ever shut the fuck up on god

When he plays with his friends, they usually talk through a group call, but he can't stand her. He only holds back from lashing out for the sake of his grade because she took majority of the work, meaning she can easily mess it up and drag him down with her. Keeping their interactions short and blunt is easy through text, but in real life is another matter.

Avoiding her in lectures is justified, but when she approaches his table with his friends, he can only screw his eyes shut and clench his fists.

"Hey Jungkook," she sits next to him in her usual fit: messy bun and athletic clothes. Jungkook is aware of her good looks, which irritates him further that she's inviting herself to his friend group; he knows Taehyung will keep her here longer. "Did you cry after our game? I didn't mean to go so hard on you."

He rolls his eyes and doesn't bother glancing at her unlike the four other men who curiously eye her. When she notices them, her tone oozes with confidence and charisma, "Hey, I'm Yuna. I'm Jungkook's classmate."

"Well, hello there Yuna. I'm Taehyung," he grins with underlying mischief.

Yoongi stays quiet as Namjoon and Seokjin introduce themselves in a friendly manner. Taehyung does the introduction for Yoongi instead.

"Nice to meet you all." Her smile is wide and bright, her shoulder stubbornly rubbing against Jungkook's despite him constantly shifting to the side.

"It's our pleasure," Taehyung replies. "So what game were you talking about? Without inviting me..."

"League of Legends." She glances at Jungkook who deeply exhales through his mouth, "He was so mad."

"I wasn't mad," he corrects with a seethe, "I was just annoyed because you wouldn't stop bringing up my girlfriend."

"Oh yeah," she smoothly recovers from her blush, "where is she?"

"In a lecture," he murmurs. It's not bright outside where they sit but the sun still lingers in the evening to provide some dim lighting. He's passing time with his friends because someone has ruined every other activity for him. If only he hadn't given her his account's username yesterday, he would have another alternative.

"You play League?" Taehyung diverts the subject.

"Yeah. Valorant and Overwatch as well. I play just about any game, really." Her words are directed at Jungkook, but he doesn't take the bait. He's looking down at his phone from under the table. "Not your typical girl, right? I usually just pass off as one of the boys."

"A lot of girls on campus like gaming, actually," Yoongi chimes in monotonously. He's disinterested in the conversation, but her rambling fascinates him.

"Bro, for real? Link me up with some of them. I barely have any female friends," she laughs despite Yoongi's straight face, "I can't get along with girls; it's like a curse."

"I have the same curse," Namjoon jokes to break some of the tension, and Taehyung and Jungkook chuckle under their breath.

"Bruh," Yuna joins in with the laughter. Before an awkward atmosphere can settle over them, she continues babbling, "I just have no mutual interests with them. They like shopping and manicures and I just like gaming, it's literally all I do. Like I'm sorry, but it's all they talk about."

It's silent apart from her laugh and the crickets. Namjoon is the only one to respond, "Heh, yeah..."

She isn't done with her rant however, "I can only get along with guys, you know? Less dramatic and more fun. I–"

Seokjin holds up a hand to be more polite with his interruption while the rest watch the interaction with their utmost attention, "Excuse me for cutting you off, but you're generalizing a lot here, Yuna. You identify as a woman, no?" She nods with a raised brow. "Then aren't you living proof that not all women are the same, like every other human being? I don't mean to be rude, but you sound extremely biased. You shouldn't be so unkind to your own gender."

She is quick to jump to her defence. "Dude, I'm not saying all women are like that. It's just the majority! My experience, you know? Being feminine is like a badge of honor to these chicks. You see that girl?" she points at a girl in a pleated skirt and blazer walking from a distance, heading this way. "I don't even understand why anyone would even like wearing a skirt, but she would probably gossip about me for not wearing one."

"Would she?" Yoongi mutters when he recognizes you as you near their table. Jungkook's eyes widen before he rushes to sit next to Taehyung, across from Yuna now who's one seat away from Namjoon.

Your eyes light up when you see them more clearly and you quickly jog up to Jungkook. His breath hitches when you immediately hug his back, cheek rubbing against the crook of his neck as you smile. "Kookie!"

His hands latch onto your arms on his chest as he quietly chuckles at your cheerful and hyper greeting. "Hey, baby."

"Hi," you wave to the rest of them. Yoongi rarely ever smiles, so you're slightly surprised to see the sight directed at you—especially when it's so cocky. You glance at the girl who is baffled as she stares at you.

Namjoon and Seokjin wave back at you with casual greetings before Taehyung speaks. "Do you want to sit next to Jungkook?"

"If you don't mind," you flutter your lashes sweetly with your hands still on your boyfriend's shoulders who hold them.

"I don't, but I don't know if Jungkookie would be okay with you sitting on my lap since it's the only available seat–"

"Move."

"Someone oughta teach this boy some manners," Taehyung grumbles as he moves to Jungkook's previous seat so you can claim his. It's warm when you sit, but Jungkook's arm is warmer when he wraps it around your shoulder.

"Hi, I'm Yuna."

The tight smile on her face doesn't ease your reserved stance, but you smile back politely nonetheless and tell her your name. She only nods with pursed lips, as if judging you for merely sitting next to your boyfriend. You shift closer to Jungkook, insecure and put off by the weirdly tense atmosphere.

"So back on topic," she turns to Jungkook, "are we playing League tonight as well?"

"League?" you tilt your head curiously.

"Oh, you wouldn't get it," she dismisses you nonchalantly. "It's a game he and I played together."

"He doesn't play it often," Namjoon tells you for comfort. It only confuses you instead. Is there something you're missing?

Jungkook latches onto that line as an escape. "Yeah, I won't be playing again any time soon, Yuna. Maybe after we finish the project." After the project he won't have a reason to stay as friends with her on any platform, and it's an amazing excuse. His lips involuntarily tug up to a smile at the thought of finally dropping her. You notice with narrowed eyes.

"What project?" you question.

"Just some stupid group task," Jungkook exasperates. "So fucking boring."

"Do you need any help?"

He smiles at your sweet offer. "Maybe you could proofread–"

"No, it's cool," Yuna interjects. "I'm already helping him."

"Oh." Is it just you or does she seem arrogant? From the silence and Jungkook's aggrevated sigh, you assume it's the latter. Why did your boyfriend text you to come here just to sit in awkward silence? You're put off by her stare directed towards him and shuffle even closer to send a message. She doesn't care.

Jungkook doesn't seem to either. Her eyes don't leave him, and he returns her gaze as she takes out her hairtie, both of them knowing full well you're watching. She puts it between her teeth and ties up her loose strands, but stops when he interrupts, "You look better with your hair down."

"Do I?" she drags out and lets her hair down again. You watch the interaction unfold with furrowed brows.

"Yeah. At least I like it better that way."

Are they flirting?

He glances at you and you throw him a warning look. What's with his change in demeanor? It's fine for him to compliment other women, but she doesn't hide her interest in him. She's too appeased by the boost in confidence that she doesn't lack.

She clears her throat and nibbles on her lip. "If we're not playing, then we can work on the project if you want."

"Sure."

Seokjin and Namjoon exchange a look, where the elder is aware of what's happening and irritated and the younger is clueless. But it's Yoongi that speaks up, and the only indication that he's talking to you is by his stare.

"You look better with your hair up."

"Me?" You're startled by his compliment.

"Oh, dude," Taehyung plays along, talking to Yoongi, "imagine watching her tie her hair on her knees. Now that's a sight to behold."

Your eyes grow comically wide, especially when Yoongi nods with a knowing smile. He then asks you, "Can we compare?"

Jungkook's glare throws daggers at the two while you, incredibly confused and lost, use the hairtie on your wrist. All eyes are on you until Yuna intervenes as if they're long-time friends, "She looks like a lost puppy, aww. Stop teasing her, you guys."

"We just like it better that way," Yoongi repeats Jungkook's words. Is this some sort of revenge executed by them in your place?

"I don't think it matters," your boyfriend coolly replies. "She's not trying to look good for you guys."

"Is Yuna trying to look good for you then?" he counters.

"Oh," she laughs, "if he likes it, then I don't mind."

"You want to know what I like, Yuna?"

Your ponytail swings when you turn to Jungkook. Why is everyone teasing each other? You can't decide whether you should focus on the two men's greedy looks or the girl who is hellbent on getting into your boyfriend's pants.

"I want to know it all," she says shamelessly.

Okay, maybe she's just looking for validation. It's fine. You don't need to lash out.

"Like your loose shirts, how little they leave to the imagination–"

Yoongi casually stands up and nods at you to follow him. You're baffled and immediately shake your head; why would you leave him alone with her? He raises a challenging eyebrow and you throw him a perplexed look.

"Come," he mouths silently before walking off. Taehyung follows, and you look around you to see Seokjin beckon you to leave while Namjoon just sits there, trying to piece the puzzle by himself in his own world.

You huff and abruptly trudge off to their path. Taehyung waits for you to catch up and slings an arm around your shoulder, the faint voices still seducing one another. "You are so gullible."

Yoongi slows his pace to turn to you. "Why do you give him a reaction when he's obviously trying to mess with you?"

"It's honestly sad to watch," Taehyung agrees.

"What?" you question incredulously. "I know what he's trying to do, it's just that Yuna is way too into it. I don't want it to keep going while I'm standing here."

"Jungkook doesn't like her and he's probably backed off by now," Yoongi reassures. "If you stayed, then you would've bashed her and he would start stressing over his stupid project. It's not worth causing a scene over."

"But isn't she cute when she's mad?" Taehyung retracts his arm to squeeze your cheeks and all three of you come to stop when you push him off. "It's like watching a chihuahua bark at a bulldog and somehow win."

Yoongi chuckles to himself as you roll your eyes. "It's not cute. I'm tired of his antics."

"It's fun when you do it back, no?"

"I didn't even do anything."

They exchange a look before Taehyung says, "That's what friends are for, bestie. We'll keep doing it until he gets tired as well." You click your tongue, and in a matter of seconds, he's shoved back away from you with the assailant gritting, "Keep your distance."

"This is our cue to leave," Yoongi tells his friend who struggles out of your boyfriend's grip on his collar before hopping next to him and escaping the scene rather inelegantly.

When you peek at the bench, you don't see Yuna there and instead notice Seokjin presumably explain what just happened to an intently listening Namjoon. It almost humors you.

The aggressive behavior just a moment before is gone in an instant when he raises his hands and tries to explain himself. "Before you say anything, I hate her and I was just teasing–"

You put a finger over his lips. "I know, baby, and if you try to tease me again I will actually sit on Taehyung's lap next time."

He opens his mouth to argue, but backs down and purses his lips before a word can come out. He submits instead. He'll give you the victory.

"Fine, fucking fair game."

Your posts are once in a blue moon and thanks for dragging our old American grandpa Grrm . I understand D&D are idiots but the fandom's incessant urge to placate Grrm as an emblem of wokeness when some of his stuff scream problematic and how what he tells in interviews is contrasted with what he writes makes me roll my eyes . The only difference is D&D are idiots whereas Grrm is sharp but also oblivious . Btw he shouldn't have released that Targie book . It's so badly written and I hope that the writing and plotting doesn't end up rubbing somehow on Twow if it ever gets released . Also thank you for dragging Ned . Idk whether you are aware of recent fandom wank but apparently Sansa stans are gatekeeping the fandom just because we happen to criticize fandom favorites . Also love love love your no nonsense idgaf butt kicking attitude . Stay safe .

Hello Anon,

Wow thanks for your kind words, your message made my day :)

Previous asks about this:

One time I wrote this on Twitter:

The problem with not being able to finish a series for 25 years is that your audience & what that audience was looking for in that story change in time. In the end the story you started to write might not meet the expectations. Especially if you aren’t writing a timeless series (~lotr).

This is why I believe that Martin is doomed to finish an outdated series which will never satisfy the readers/critics truly. Racist/sexist undertones & other problematic aspects of these books might have been overlooked in 90s/00s but they will be considered huge problems in 20s.

I love Grrm as a writer because man has a style and courage. Yes sometimes he is edgy but he also has the talent. His magic in writing shows itself in small details, creating characters, plot setting (foreshadowings) and subverting expectations but sometimes he pushes the edge a little too much to create those magic/to show his talent.

For example; whole Unkiss subtext is a smart way to show trauma but on the other hand hiding trauma in subtext is problematic.

Another example: Cersei/Dany turning into their awful husbands. A complex characterization but still problematic.

Another example: Not giving an anti-T*rg POV in the books, it hides the villain status of Dany and other T*rgs but also it is problematic.

I think he could have earned my respect even more if he just could own the fact that he created a typical but nuanced White Savior with Dany. Whitewashing her arc/story makes me think that is this man so oblivious to his own story? (Also yes sometimes what he says and he writes doesn't match) And at this point I have to believe that his old age and him being an American might make him oblivious. Not a crime but people might drag him for this.

Btw I also think that people blame D&D a lot to make Grrm a victim but show was always a cheap copy of the books and characters even when George was involved. As a Sansa fan, I hated most of the scripts of first 4 seasons so I don't think D&D were the only ones to blame. And people (I used to too) blame D&D for not having Arianne, Aegon etc in the show but it seems to me that George wasn't even able to give many details about main characters so I doubt that he could have given enough material about Arianne, Aegon, Connington, Victarion etc to create a full story. He really should have finished his books LONG AGO.

In my opinion, having a TV show before finishing the books was a huge mistake.

AND it feels like he learnt his lesson. LOOK at him finishing F&B book so fast... The most unnecessary book in the history of literature. Twoiaf was more than enough for DoD story but he still wants HBO's money. Sorry but he lost my respect a lot after that book.

That book was unnecessary, writing was awful and what was the reason? And I am afraid that they will make T*rgs look like cool but poor guys and the world doesn't need to feel sth for white ugly slavers, nuke lovers, incest f*ckers, imperialist sh*ts with god complex.

T*rgs fans behave like a cult for a reason. Tell me, are we not dealing with enough bad guys who see themselves superior right know all around world? Why are they making more shows about such risky characters? This is a bad idea but it is what it is. People are tend to worship such characters and stories and I find this scary. But Georgie loves money. Whatever. Zero respect.

Ok I am in this fandom since 2012 (? was active in 2014-2016 and later in 2019-) and tbf I used to talk shit about many fan favorites and yeah their fans would be angry but they wouldn't go rabid and start massive bullying chains so I think social media encourages people to have a cult mentality and it ruins everything.

You as a fan should decide what kind of fandom experience you want to have and you should try to create your own safe corner without touching the toxic side.

Thank you so much for your kind words again.

Have a nice day and stay safe.

(You can find the set that this gif belongs to here 💙)

From planning to posting, share your process for making creative content!

To continue supporting content makers, this tag game is meant to show the entire process of making creative content: this can be for any creation.

RULES: When your work is tagged, show the process of its creation from planning to posting, then tag 5 people with a specific link to one of their creative works you’d like to see the process of. Use the tag #showyourprocess so we can find yours

I was tagged by @aheartfullofjolllly. thank you so much Pat! it was really fun to reflect about my own process 💗 You can find her post here and @lan-xichens' post that started it all here :)

Also thank you @huigusu 🥰 (who tagged me for my nie brothers set) I'll get to that one in a few days!

Now Pat gave me two sets to chose from to show my process, so obviously I chose the more complicated one :P

I only work in Photoshop CC 2018. I know that there are programs out there for easier cutting and sharpening but I have only just figured out how to do that in PS and I am too lazy to figure out any other programs right now xD

1. Idea and Planning

This set, like most of my sets with lyrics started with me reading the poem, clutching my heart and going "oh shit this fits my favourite characters!!". The idea actually started with me thinking that the first stanza of the poem would go really well with wwx during the burial mounds arc. Then I realized that the last stanza fits lwj better than him and from there came the idea to contrast the both of them next to each other. This is when I realized I wanted to do a dark-light contrast set, though I did not know that I would go with red and blue at that time. My idea in the beginning was just to do a black and white set

I was really impressed by how Pat said that she plans her sets around exact timestamps. Because I don't do that at all ^^ I just get ideas for which scenes would fit (in this case the wwx burial mounds scenes and lwj's kneeling and punishments scene) and then I watch the scenes to narrow them down.

Back when I made this set, I still used a screenrecorder (AceThinker Screen Grabber Pro to be precise. They have a test version that allows you to record up to 3 minutes) and recorded the scenes I needed from Netflix. This worked well enough but now I have the entire show saved on an external drive and it makes a world of difference when it comes to gif sharpness

Now, in this case I had to repeat this step once because when I was almost finished, I realized that I wanted a gif for the lwj corner but let's pretend I didn't do that and that's the way this gif was always going to look because otherwise this post will be way too long ^^

2. Creation

Short disclaimer: The creation process for this gifset was anything but linear. Multiple effects I used here were things I had never tried before. I just had a vague idea and tried to realize it through trial and error. So whenever I say "then I did xyz", it is implied that I ultimately went back to that step several times and changed stuff ^^

I started with the Wei Wuxian part of the gif. I usually use a frame rate of 0,06 (with some variation depending on gif length and size). I work in timeline so I converted all the layers to a smart layer. Then I resized the gif into a square, leaving big chunks of the gif empty (as can be seen below.) I flipped the gif horizontally, so he is looking inwards. This was simple because I felt it fitted the composition better. Then I imported the Lan Wangji part of the gif, again with a frame rate of 0,06. (Image 2)

After that I created a layer for masking in a separate PS document by rotating a square until it was point down (is that a rhombus?). I sized it to match my gif (540x540 pxl) and copied it over. (Image 3) a bit of masking magic and ta da! There's the basic layout (Image 4)

I put a layer of solid black behind wwx to get rid of the transparent bits (Image 5) and then started adding more white and black to both sides by adding solid whit and black layers that i put masks on and changed the opacity as i needed (Image 6)

("reading" direction: from the upper left to the lower right corner)

Then I fiddled with the colours a bit. The first thing I always do is using the curves layer to get more contrast. Then I use the colour balance tool and the selective colouring tool to get rid of that cql-typical cyan tint after that it's just trying to have it look "natural" while the colours still fit the overall scheme. This was difficult here because wei Wuxian’s side of the gif was very dark and when i turned up the saturation to see which colour dominated it was a very weird mixture of multiple colours. That's when i decided that I'd just go with red on his side, since lwj's side was already so blue and those to look great as contrasts.

After that just came a lot of fiddling with selective colour layers and brightness and contrast unti I has happy. There really wasn't much to it ^^. (Image 1)

After that I added the text. I knew I wanted the two lines to for a square of some kind. So I tried different fonds until I arrived at the one below. The two lines are in seperate layers so I could move them around and change the spacing between the letters until I was happy with the layout. I also changed the layer mode for the text to "difference" (is that what it's called in english? my PS is set to german sorry ^^), keeping their colour white. (Image 2)

I originally hadn't planned adding anything else but I felt like the gifs (plural because I switched between the gifs of this set) was still kind of empty and lacking, so I added the tear down the middle (a tutorial for that is either coming up later or already posted. I recently got an ask for this :)) (Image 3)

It still felt empty after that, so I tried different overlays. Okay no, first I wasted a lot of time on different free image sides but then I tried out different ones until I chose the one you can see in the finished gif. I liked that one because a) I felt the round shape was a nice contrast to all the straight lines already there and b) because once I applied a black and white filter to it and switched the layer setting to "difference" (again, i hope this is the correct translation) it looked a bit like a moon. (Gif at the top)

("reading" direction: from left to right)

And that's it! :)

Although in general, these gifs took so much fiddling! I went back and forth between them a lot and sometimes almost redid the entire thing because I had no idea what I was doing in the beginning and by the time I noticed an error, the only way to fix it was ti redo everything. So yeah, this set definitely is the the one that took me the longest out of all the ones I've posted so far.

3. Posting

I save all my gifs to my drafts first to see what they look like put together and to check if they look any different on mobile. Usually i do this several times and change stuff until I'm happd enough with it to hit post. Once i am happy enough, i can't hold back. Doesn't matter if it's at a time when nobody is online, i hit post 😅

And that's it!

Tagging:

@lanwuxiann for this gifset (I adore it so much. I've looked at it and read it severat times since you posted it and the poem just kills me every time!)

@suibianjie for this gifset (The combination of static images and gifs in your gifs is always absolutely perfect! This one is only my favourite of yours because the light coming from behind wwx is just so pretty!!! ^^)

@sweetlittlevampire for this piece (It was soooo hard to pick a piece of yours because I have so many favourites! But this one is just so out if this world, I want to know how you worked that magic :D)

@wei-gege for this set (sparkling shijie! 😭 that set is so incredibly beautiful! I love how you matched the colour of the overlay with her dress!)

@purplexedhuman for this set (your gifs are always incredible! I chise this one because it showcases both your colouring skills and some really intricate effects)

If any of you have already been tagged or don't have the time or energy for this, obviously no pressure to do this at all! 🥰

(btw, I originally tried to place the actual text of this under a "read more" cut but somehow it always messed with the order of the images, so this ended up as a rather long post. sorry!)
