Geralt x Injured reader part 1
Part 2
Pairing: Geralt x reader (self insert)
Warnings: swearing, injury, blood, I think that's all?
Summary: Reader is feeling jealous and wanders too far from camp.
*********************
Hey guys! This is like my first fanfiction ever. And I wrote it at like 3am when I couldn't sleep. It's probably trash but if you like it I do have ideas for more! Xoxo enjoy****
Geralt x injured reader part 1
Jealousy was not a pretty color on you. And you swore riot yourself it was no such thing. After all Geralt of Rivia was just a teacher/friend you were travelling with. You had some skill with a sword, he found you trying to take down a kikkemora all by yourself, and failing miserably. After you saw how skilled he was you begged him to take you with him, to train you. He said no of course, so you just kept tagging along without his consent. At some point though he finally decided that if you were gonna come along you might as well be of some use so you made a deal.
Over the months you grew stronger but still had much to learn. After all it takes years for anyone to become a great fighter. And luckily for you, Geralt had many many many years of experience to offer you.
You enjoyed the time you spent togther, the conversation, (although you did most of the talking..) and the training, he was one of the few people in your life you felt comfortable with. Someone you could always count on. And somewhere along your travels the line between student and teacher blurred for you into something else, although you did your best to deny it at first.
You had gone off and caught feelings for the man who had no interest in real committed relationships. You knew you had it bad when you found yourself overflowing with irritation when he spent his nights in the arms of some whore at a dirty brothel.
On those nights you drank until you passed out on roach. Pretty fucking pathetic y/n.
Then came along the witch, Yennefer..
You saw how they looked at eachother, a look you'd wish Geralt would give you even for a fleeting moment.
There were creatures that had been attacking the villagers at night, so the three of you, well four since Jaskier decided to tag along when he spotted us, were tracking these monsters into the forest. You didnt mind Jaskier at all, his songs a welcome distraction from the obvious growing bond between Geralt and Yennefer.
You felt horrible for the animosity you felt towards her. She did nothing wrong and you hated that if not for your jealousy, you probably would have been close friends.
If you were a better women you could get over your silly crush and focus on your training but...
Yeah you had some growing to do. After searching the forest for a few hours, and finding nothing, everyone was tired and decided to set up camp.
Once Geralt tied down roach, he turned to address the group, "Everyone is to stay in camp, these monsters are dangerous, so if you need to take a piss, I suggest you do it behind a tent, unless you wanna risk getting your head shot off" he said rather gruffly.
Jaskier made a sound of discomfort and scooted closer to the fire.
"Dont worry jaskier, I'll protect you" you giggled.
He turned to you in amusement, "Ah yes how does go the training y/n, last I saw you, you could barely lift your sword" he teased.
"I've gotten rather good, mind if I practice on you?" You teased.
"Thanks but I think I better go and get my beauty sleep, good night" he smiled and retreated into his tent.
You went to feed roach some apples when you noticed that Geralt and Yennefer had dissapeared.
Huh? Where did they go? At first you thought they were in trouble since you didnt hear either of them say goodnight but as you got closer to the middle of camp you heard voices coming from Yennefers tent.
You told yourself not to look but you couldn't help it. And the instant you did you felt your heart break. It was one thing to see him in the arms of a whore. You knew they meant nothing to him, but in the arms of someone he cares for? That hurt...
Roughly you turned away from the kissing couple and marched away. Away from camp, away from stupid feelings and dumb petty jealousy.
It was not yennefers fault she was beautiful and powerful and brilliant. And if you were jealous then you should become just as amazing as she is. Maybe then he would notice you...
You were snapped out of your reverie when a rustle in the bushes caught your attention.
Fuck I was not supposed to leave camp...
Thinking quickly, you unsheathed your sword and held it at the ready. Its sharp edge gleaming in the moonlight.
Eyes narrowing at the bush. A moment later you were relived when a rabbit hopped out.
Phew I thought It was--
*SCRAWWWWWWWWCH*
Fuck
You barely missed the creatures slimy claws as it swiped for your head. Jumping to the side you managed to get a good look at the beast. It was rather large and spider looking, with several disgusting sets of beady eyes and a long slithering tough that dripped of something purple. So geralt was right, the creature lurking here was a visser. (Completely made it up on the spot) They're claws are sharp and quick but it's the tongue you have to watch our for. One jab, although not fatal can leave a man in bed for days from pain. 2 jabs in the same place? then your a goner. And the visser is known to be smarter, he distracts with claws and jabs quickly before you can even blink.
You knew you should probably yell for your companions. There was a chance they could hear you. But that very second you thought of yennefer and how she would be able to take on a monster like this.
That made up your mind...this monster was going to be your kill... youd finish this off and prove that you had gotten stronger if it's the last thing you do.
Although that would kind of defeat the purpose...
"Urgh" you landed roughly on the ground, one of its claws managed to swipe at you.
"Ok no more misses nice gal" regainging your stance, the glint of the moon shone on your opponent. With a visser you had a few options. Option 1, go for the head which kills instantly but the risk of a jab is highest.
Option 2 is cut off all the legs quickly then send your sword through the head. But if it dodges... you're dead meat.
Option 3, try to get under the beast where its tongue cant reach you and strike upwards. With your small stature option 3 sounded the smartest. You just had to move fast enough where it wouldnt be able to see you for a split second.
Alright y/n dont let your training go to waste! This is your chance to prove yourself.
Running faster than you've ever ran before, you circled around the visser waiting for when the creature was even a second slow and could not see you. The right moment was.....
Now! You sprinted forward and slid under its legs.
"Scrawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaachh" the monster howled in pain as you slammed your sword directly up getting covered in visser guts in the process.
"Blegh how disgusting.." you swiped the guts off your face and stood in front of the slain beast.
For once in a long time you felt proud of yourself. You slayed a monster all by yourself, even Geralt said you hadn't been ready yet and often told you to stay back during fights. But he would have to eat up his words now hehe. You could just imagine everyone's faces when you would tell them.
You were too wrapped up in your glory to notice a second visser sneaking up behind you.
By the time you heard its screech, it was too late. Its slimy black tongue had struck your stomach leaving a sizzling pain behind it.
"FUCK" unsheathing your sword again, you tried to maneuver far enough out of its reach to thing of a plan. There was no way you could pull on option 3 again with the way your core burned. One more jab and it would be over. Damn it! why couldn't you just have your victory and be done with it!
One hand clutched at your injury while the other was positioned weakly in front of you. Your eyes blurred slights but you refused to let this shit swamp be your final resting place.
The burning subsided to an ache and you used that opportunity to make a mad dash into the thicket. You needed to think of a plan and quick, it would not take long for the visser to catch up with you, especially now that you had that stupid injury.
"Srawwwwwwwwwch" it sounded like it was right behind you. Fuck fuck fuck.
And then because mother nature decided to be a BITCH, you tripped on a large tree root and tumbled forward.
"Scraeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech" you flipped over quickly and shut your eyes as the visser was basically on top of you. 3 more seconds and you would be dead.
3, how pathetic y/n, after all these promises you made to yourself about becoming someone worth being proud of you fuck up the one chance you had.
2, maybe it's better this way, would anyone even miss you? Jaskier would, maybe he would even write a song about you..
1, I'm sorry I was an idiot...Geralt I'll watch over you...
"SWOOOOOOOOSH" the unmistakable sweet sound of metal slicing through flesh made your eyes shoot wide open.
"Geralt!" He stood out of breath hovering over the now beheaded visser. His sharp golden eyes moved from the beast, to you.
Without a word he reached over and pulled you up without a hint of gentleness. You hid your wince at the sudden movement. Not wanting to let anyone know that the visser had gotten the better of you.
"What happened" he bit out slowly. Fuck he was angry. "Why did you leave camp y/n when I explicitly told you not to" his feline eyes bore into yours and suddenly you felt too intimated and looked away.
Ah yes what excuse will I come up with now. Sorry Geralt I had to leave because I felt immense pressure and heartache seeing you and Yennefer over there locking lips and most passionately I might add.
When he noticed my hesitation he let out a growl, "Hmm, don't lie to me"
Fuuuuuuuuuck...
"I-I didnt mean to, really... I couldn't sleep so I was walking close to camp and I didnt even realize I had wandered so far until the other visser attacked." You looked him in the eyes knowing it would better your chances of him believing it.
He stared at you a few more seconds before letting out a sigh.
" You killed it" he said bluntly, and softer than before.
"I did.." you couldn't help the small smile that formed on your face. He sighed again, this time he had a small smirk on his face, "Well I guess you have learnt some things after all" he patted your shoulder but pulled away when Yennefer and Jaskier appeared.
"Y/n thank god your alive, are you alright?!" Jaskier grabbed your shoulders and scanned you for injuries. Luckily your stomach was covered by your armor, visser Jabs were known for hurting like hell at first, seeming to get better shortly after, then coming back tenfold. Right now you were at stage two, the calm before the storm..
Yennefer made a comment about how impressive you were to slay the visser and you hated yourself for still feeling ill towards her. She was a great person and you could not blame Geralt for liking her. It was just an unfortunate situation.
The walk back was quiet and the second you were in your tent again you dared to take a look at the wound. Gingerly you unbuckled your armor and lifted up your shirt.
You let out a small sigh of relief. It just looked like a large bruise. Nothing you couldn't pass off as a "I fell off roach" kinda injury.
As positive as you tried to be, you knew the worst was yet to come. But by god you were not about to let your victory be ruined by your companions knowing of this. Especially since Yennefer and Geralt could've slain the beast without a scratch.
Somehow you were lucky and slept the rest of the night in peace. It was early when jaskier came to wake you. Although you slept plenty, you felt just as exausted as you did after your late night encounter.
Before putting on your armor, you dared to look at the wound again. You regretted it the moment you did.
Fuck me... the bruise was much darker than before and covered a larger area. As for the pain, it felt only slightly more sore which was good for now. The last thing you wanted was for anyone to find out about it.
Quickly you threw togther the rest of your things and met the others. According to the village leader there was one more visser out there so we continued our search deeper into the forest. It was around noon when the pain intensified. It started as a constant dull ache but gradually became a burning sensation. It was becoming harder to hide it.
You made up some excuse to the group and sat on top of roach. You were sure if you had to walk anymore you would have fallen over. Luckily for awhile jaskier was more preoccupied with his latest ballad and geralt and yen were wrapped up in some serious conversation. You didnt realize how far you were lagging behind until jaskier turned to you.
"Y/n?" He walked over to you and pulled on roaches reigns making him go a little faster.
"Hm" was all you could manage.
"Are you alright? You're sweating so much"
Confused you ran a hand over your head. He was right, you were and didnt even feel it.
"Yo- sic- rest-" what? Why was Jaskier talking gibberish...and why is he so blurry?
You didnt even feel yourself pitching to the side, just the woosh of air through your ears.
"Y/N!? Y/N what's wrong?!?!" Jaskier barely managed to catch your half conscious form. "GERALT!" The witcher swung around sword at the ready but widened his eyes in shock at what he saw.
Y/n was on the floor, breathing heavily and being propped up by Jaskier.
Geralt and Yennefer quickly ran over. The witchers eyes narrowed in concern when he saw the state of her. She was sweating profusely and looked to be struggling with something. Yennefer raised a hand to her forehead but shook her head. "Its not a fever".
Geralt held her up, lightly smacking her face, he grew even more worried when she didnt react.
"Jaskier what happened"
"I don't know, I noticed she was falling behind so I went to check on her, then I noticed she looked sick, I was telling her we should stop and rest but then she just collapsed. She seemed really out of it too.
At that moment a grunt of pain escaped y/n's lips, and her eyes slowly opened.
You were confused as to why when you opened your eyes, gerald's golden ones were staring at yours with intense concern.
"Y/n can you hear me??" he questioned furrowing his brows.
"I-I ahhhgh" you screwed your eyes shut as the pain intensified. It felt like someone had set your stomach on fire.
This only confused geralt more, "you're hurt" he said as more of a statement.
"Where is the pain y/n," the gentle voice of yennefer surrounded you. Ugh why couldn't she just be a bitch, it would make things so much easier.
You tried speaking but a moan left your lips instead. Fuck this hurt worse than anything you had encountered before.
Geralt closed his eyes as if he had a sudden realization, "you got hit by the visser didnt you"
When you didnt speak but he saw the look in your eyes he knew it was true. "Fuck".
Quickly he began removing your armor and saw the injury peeking from under your shirt. He wasted no time lifting it up just until below your chest. You heard small gasps but were too out of it to know from who.
"Fuck y/n, why didn't you say anything??" Geralt scolded as he examined the wound.
Luckily you didnt have to answer, just focus on breathing heavily.
"Will she be alright?!" The frantic voice of jaskier floated through your ears.
"It would have been better if she told us from the beginning, with a visser attack you need to stay still as much as you can. However by the looks of it she only got hit once, which means she still has a chance."
"What can we do?" Was it yennefer or jaskier who said that?
Geralt pulled a sack from roach and rummaged through it till he pulled out a yellowish filled bottle.
Lifting y/n with one arm he pulled the cork with his teeth and gently placed it between her lips. "Drink y/n" without a second thought you downed the strange liquid coughing as it burned your throat like liquor.
"What is that?" Jaskier asked curiously.
" it's for the pain, it'll make her feel like shes dreaming." Geralt threw her armor onto roach and lifted her up carefully into his arms. "Let's go" he ordered and the troup was once again on their way. Geralt gave one look at the now sleeping y/n and sighed. What was she thinking?
***************************
When you opened your eyes the first thing you did was let out a girlish laugh.
Geralt was surprised for a moment since you had been silently resting in his arms for a long time. "Y/n?"
"Geralt! You've dyed your hair pink! How adorable!" You reached up and pulled at the cotton soft locks.
The witcher sighed, knowing this was the effect of the medicine. Jaskier and yennefer let out a small laugh at the scene of the two.
"Go back to sleep y/n, you need rest" he commanded softly.
"GERALT!" you suddenly exclaimed! "Oh no you cant be the white wolf anymore! Oh no oh no oh no WAIT I GOT IT! YOU CAN BE THE PINK PONY! QUICK JASKIER WRITE THIS DOWN!!"
"Ah yes the witcher, pink pony of the north, has a nice ring to it" jaskier couldn't contain his laughter.
Geralt decide it best to ignore her and keep walking forward.
"Geralt?" He chose to ignore her again. "Geralt....?"
"Gerrrrrallllllt?"
"GERALT!"
"Geralt geralt geralt geralt geralt geralt"
"What?!" He bit out annoyed.
"Do you think I'm pretty? hehe" he was caught off guard and was not sure how to answer. It didnt help the other two were just giggling behind him.
"I um....yeah" he said awkwardly.
"So I dont look like a troll?" You asked earnestly.
"Pfft what?" Now geralt was the one who couldn't control his laughter.
"Don't laugh!" You suddenly pouted. "A long time ago one of my lovers said I looked like a troll when he broke up with me.."
Still amused geralt shifted you to meet his eyes, "No y/n, you do not look like a troll"
"Phew thank god, I dont know what I would have done..." you laid a hand against your head dramatically.
"Now will you please stop squirming and go back to sleep" geralt sighed out.
"Hmmmmmmmmmmm......alright I've decided to go to sleep since I need sleep and it's what I have decided" you saluted the air.
"Finally.." he grumbled.
With a smile you reached both arms around his neck and brought your soft lips to his unshaven cheek.
"Goodnight pinky, sweet creams" he was shocked for a moment then let out an exasperated laugh.
"Goodnight y/n...sweet creams"

Tumblr media
Space is so, so very vast. There are so many stars, so many planets, so many beautiful and wonderful and evil and deadly things. 
But even among all of these beautiful and wonderful and evil and deadly things, there are only so many hiding places. 
“I have a plan,” Mando says to you, out of the blue, one day. You’re bouncing the child in your arms near his makeshift-crib, trying to get him to sleep. 
“A plan?” you ask, not looking towards him, but keeping your attention toward the kid. Mando had been in the cockpit trying to decide where to go next for hours. 
“We’re going to end this. This whole deal with the child. We’re going back to Nevarro.” 
“What?” you say, setting the child down and turning to face him. “Mando, you’re outnumbered. They’ll kill you and me and take the child the second they see the ship.” 
“I have a plan.” You wish he would stop staying that. There is a beat before he says,“And you won’t be there.” 
“I won’t be there?”
“I’m going to get Cara to join me and you’re going to stay back on Sorgan. You’ll be fine there, you’ll live peacefully the rest of your days, unless you decide to go somewhere else.” 
“What are you saying?” you ask, because you seriously can’t hear him. There’s blood pounding in your ears. “Mando, what are you saying?” 
“I’m leaving you on Sorgan. In case something bad happens.” 
Your jaw drops, and you shake your head. “Mando, I-” 
“No,” he says, turning away from you. “It’s not up for debate.” 
You raise an eyebrow at that, crossing your arms. “Oh? The rest of my fucking life isn’t up for debate?” 
He doesn’t look at you. He’s silent. He doesn’t move a single muscle in his body. Until- “If you want to have a life, you’ll go to Sorgan and you’ll stay there.” 
“I’m not letting you abandon me.” Your voice breaks halfway through saying it. “I’m not letting you abandon me like everyone, everyone else in my life!” 
He shakes his head, still not looking at you. “I’m not abandoning you. This is what’s best for you.” 
You wipe the tears from your face and push your shoulders back. “What’s best for me? You want to talk about what’s best for me? I’m from a different galaxy, goddamnit! You’re the only person I trust!” 
“Well, these people will take care of you. But you can’t stay with me. I’m not safe.” 
You groan, throwing your hands into the air and then through your hair. “You’re so stubborn! You don’t even realize that… that…” You groan again, shaking your head and storming off. You have no words for him. Well, you do. You just can’t say them outloud. 
“Y/n! Y/n, wait!” he calls after you, but you can’t face him right now. You can’t. 
It’s a little later, and you’re absentmindedly pacing in the kitchen (“kitchen”) area, twirling a knife in your hands. It was the first thing you saw, and you quite enjoyed throwing knives at things. You have… had, been working on defense training with Mando a little, and knives are your favorite. Which is, admittedly, dangerous, but hey, you were doing pretty good so far. 
The Mandorian walks into the room, staring at you. 
“What do you think you’re doing?” he asks, reaching over to take the knife out of your hands. You shake your head, trying to reach for it again. 
“I was-”
“You’re going to hurt yourself.” 
“I was just thinking things over, for goodness sake. I’m not going to hurt myself.” 
He shakes his head, grabbing onto your wrist. You wince as he pulls your fingers away from your palm, revealing the deep cut. “Yeah, I can clearly see that you aren’t going to hurt yourself.” You ignore him, pulling your hand away painfully. You didn’t even realize you had scraped your hand. 
“So I accidentally cut my hand, it’s not even that deep. Why do you care?” 
He freezes, and you think you’ve hurt his feelings, but then you remember he doesn’t have those. 
“You’ve been extra reckless lately. More so than usual. You’re going to get yourself killed.” He turns, then, waves at the kid before he tries to leave. The pain in your hand is evident, but you ignore it. You suppose you had been reckless lately, especially on the last planet you were on, when you ran out in front of him when he was going to get shot. Because he was a dumbass, for god's sake. 
“Is that why you’re abandoning me?” you growl after him, and he sighs. 
“I’m abandoning you so that you don’t die.” 
“So what?” you scream. “So what if I die?” You regret the words as soon as they leave your mouth. You remember once yelling them at your mother. You and her had fought, and she was drunk, and she threw the wine bottle at you, and she said that you were a mistake, and you screamed that. You weren’t welcome home for a week after that. 
The memory brings tears to your eyes and you beg yourself not to break down. 
He’s in front of you in a second, hands on your shoulders, looking at you intently. Heat rises to your face and you look at the ground, and the child, anywhere but at him. He wipes a tear from your cheek. “I need you alive.” 
You scoff. “You know what, you’re right to abandon me. I’m useless. I don’t know why you’ve kept me around this long.” 
You’re sure that you look like a disaster. You’re sure that you are a disaster, and you don’t even care. You don’t have any reason to care anymore. You’re in another-fucking-galaxy and the only person you trust is leaving you. 
“Y/n, what brought this on?” he asks, but you shrug away from him and walk by the child. “What’s wrong?” 
“What’s wrong?” you ask absentmindedly. You pick up the child, setting him on the table. He looks quizzically up at you, his eyes wide. You turn to your Mandalorian. “What’s wrong is that you’re abandoning me!” You pause, then sigh. “I’m in love with you,” you whisper.
He’s frozen in time, all of a sudden, and you almost laugh. 
“It’s pathetic. It’s straight out of a fucking chick-flick. A cliche for the ages,” you mutter, wondering if you should jump out of the spaceship now or if you should wait until the child is sleeping. 
“Y/n-” he starts, but you shake your head. 
“No, no, don’t, because I already know what you’re going to say, and I don’t think I can bear to hear you say it.” You take a long pause, breathing heavily. “I get it, I do, but it hurts, however stupid it is. Even on the off chance you even felt the same, I know what you would say. ’We can’t, it’ll never work, I’m too busy being angsty and broody,’” You shake your head. He doesn’t say anything, the silent tension in the room growing by the second. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this isn’t fair of me. I don’t know what came over me. Maybe just… forget I said anything.” You shake your head, embarrassed by your fit of passion. 
“I, er. What if…” he begins, struggling to come up with the words. 
“Don’t try to make me feel better.” 
He steps towards you. “What if I don’t want to forget you said anything?” You freeze, looking at him, your eyebrows strung together. “What if I love you too?” 
“Yeah,” you mutter. “What if?” 
He laughs, this sort of half-laugh thing. “Wow, okay.” You give a sort of half smile back, realizing that he’s standing kinda really close and your breathing is kinda really heavy. “Y/n, I love you, too.” 
“We can’t,” you suddenly say. “I’m too busy brooding and being angsty. You’ve heard my music collection.” 
He laughs, this time. “I love your music collection.” You realize that his arms are around you. And your hands are on his chest. And you’re so. Close. To. Him. You smile, then lean your head against his shoulder. 
“You’re the only person in the Universe who has ever loved me,” you say, and his arms tighten around you. “Someone once told me that humans have this instinct to love their offspring. My mother proved that can’t be true.” 
“Your mother didn’t know that you didn’t need her to turn out smart, and beautiful, and kind,” he says, and suddenly, you think you’ve found home. 
“Please don’t make me leave you,” you whisper. “Please don’t abandon me. Mando, I don't have anything besides you. Which is like super dependent, but this whole situation already sucks.” 
He’s quiet. He steps back, shaking his head. You realize that this may be the last time you ever get to see him. But, then he says, “I won’t. I… I swear, I never will.” 
~~~oOo~~~
It becomes clear to you, as you tuck the little green child that you’ve grown so fond of into bed, that your life has become anything but normal. But, that’s okay, you think, because you’re happy. You’re more happy in this spaceship with the strangest man you’ve ever met and this fifty-year-old child and the occasional appearance of badass space women than you ever were on earth. 
It also becomes clear to you, as you lie in the Mandalorian’s arms one evening, that you and him have no ordinary relationship. For one, you’ve never seen his face, like, ever. And for another thing, you were kind of forcefully thrown into each other’s lives. But, that’s okay, you think. Because, damnit, it’s the healthiest relationship you’ve ever had with another human being. It’s the strongest bond you’ve ever had with another human. It’s the safest you’ve ever felt… ever. 
“Mando,” you say quietly, and he hums. “Is that your real name?” 
He hesitates, then says, “It’s a real enough name.” 
You’re sitting in his lap, and he sits in the pilots seat, and you’re looking at the stars. It’s really, rather odd, you think. It feels so intimate, which, in all fairness, it is. It’s been a few days since your rather brash confessions, and you still haven’t figured out quite how this will work out. You decide, though, that you’ll ask yourself that afterwards. But for now you’re going to be as close to him as possible. You need that much. 
“Why, hello,” Cara says, and you jump up, crossing your arms, leaning against the control panel carefully. 
“Hey, hello,” you say, but she smiles knowingly. 
“So, I’m not really qualified to look after this thing,” she says, the child tucked under one of her arms. You hold your hands out and she hands it off to you willingly. 
“I won’t be able to look after you and the kid at the same time, and you can’t look after the kid while keeping your guard up,” Mando says, and Cara shrugs. 
“What are you suggesting?” she asks, and you move your gaze from her to Mando. 
“We add a party to our crew. And then we head to Nevarro.”  
~~~oOo~~~
You sit in the cockpit while Cara and Mando talk to whoever it is assisting. The child stays with you, in your arms, and you just wait. And waiting means you have time to think. And having time to think means nothing good. 
You realize that you’re probably going to die. This is it. You’re going to be dead. There’s no way to avoid it. I mean, your heart wants to trust Mando, but reasonably, this can’t end well. 
You could go to Sorgan… but you won’t leave Mando. Not in a million years. 
You hear voices from behind you. “So, where is the child?” an unfamiliar voice says. You turn around, and there’s Mando, Cara, and an unknown being. 
“Kuiil, this is Y/n, Y/n, Kuiil,” Mando says, and Kuiil nods at you. 
“It is truly a pleasure to meet you, Y/n,” he says, taking the baby from your arms, which you hesitantly let up. 
“Do you think you’ll be able to build a sort of crib for him?” you ask gently, and Kuiil nods, a sort of smile on his face.

( private verse: your name is ) -- three.
          i hear she personally knows the duke.
          her? how did that happen? she’s not even from this district.
          i dont know, but someone saw them talking. said it looked like they were old friends having a chat.
          what did they talk about? 
         who knows? they got the hell out of there before they were caught eavesdropping. 
         haha -- probably for the best. hm, do you think..? 
         think what?
          that they’re gonna go easy on her? 
          gossip. teenagers loved their gossip, didn’t they? the ones she’s met so far during her training were certainly no different. reminiscent of how peers her age acted in school, they traveled in packs, forming tight knit cliques that were impenetrable from the outside unless you somehow proved yourself worthy of an invitation into the group. everyone seemed to be familiar with each other already, a fact alison learned was due to how long they had known each other before her abrupt arrival to the district. from what she understood, some had been training since they were young; others had only been training only for a handful of years. regardless, at this point in their careers, they had all proven themselves to be capable, and it was time for new recruits to do the same.
           new additions weren’t unusual when it came time for recruitment, though it was expected for many to be weeded out in a few months time. judging by the snickers from the others when she first stood alongside them and introduced herself, perhaps they thought she’d be packing her bags very soon. at sixteen, she was amongst the youngest in this round of new recruits, and her small statue coupled with her inexperience seemed to have branded her as an easy target for returning guards-in-training who had a better understanding of what was expected from the veteran rose guards they trained under. 
          but oh, how she was going to prove them all wrong. 
          “wow! imagine being handed something instead of working for it. hm, can’t say that i can relate, actually.” finally turning the corner of the hallway she had been waiting behind, alison makes her presence known to two peers. thinking back on the many introductions she had heard earlier in the week, she could recall that these two came from a long line of rose guards, a notable number of their family members having served various nobles over the course of their lifetimes. it was unclear to her as to whether their training had started early on in their lives, only to culminate in their eventual recruitment into the rose guard after finishing school, or if this was just the beginning of their training. regardless, she wouldn’t be surprised if their connection to their families had aided them in completing their first year of training. 
          startled and indignant by alison’s unexpected appearance, the taller of the two retorted, “didn’t anyone teach you it was rude to eavesdrop?” 
         “didn’t anyone teach you it was rude to talk shit?” an easy comeback as she joined them.
          sucking on his teeth, he turns to his companion, a girl whom alison recalled was quite open about her admiration of the duke and his charms. unsurprising, yet still disappointing, alison thought as she fought back the urge to roll her eyes at the idea of someone joining ayden’s rose guard just to get close to him and vie for his attention. it was a waste of everyone’s time, and it made alison wonder just how much the other relied on her family to get her this far. surely, she wasn’t as hopeless as alison feared if she was able to last this long, but only time would tell, she supposed.
          “how long were you standing there?” with a frown, the other woman expressed her own disapproval of alison’s decision to eavesdrop, though alison was quite certain she was just upset that she had been caught. 
           “long enough to know you’re jealous about my relationship with the duke.” a jab at what everyone was aware of already, a rather smug smile evident on alison’s countenance as she reveled in how the other woman’s brows furrowed deeper. “if it’s any consolation, we’re merely acquaintances.” a partial truth -- time had caused them to drift apart, and it was clear to alison that ayden was no longer the person he was in their childhood. it’d be foolish of her to considering them close friends at this point when so much had changed in the roughly ten years that had passed since their last meeting, though it was comforting to know that he still remembered her. despite that, alison had no intentions of relying on him when it came to securing her place on his rose guard; that was a decision she had made long before she arrived in his district.
          “but how is that possible? you said yourself you graduated from commoner school.”
          “because i did. but how i know the duke is quite frankly none of your business. i suggest you two pay attention to more pressing matters,” and she turns to the taller one, her expression neutral despite the fact she was annoyed by how he had to look down at her to make eye contact, “like how your form is sloppy and quite frankly, makes me question whether you deserve to be called my superior. falling on your ass today really must have been a hit to your ego, huh?” 
         “why i -- ! who are you to judge? like you know what it’s like to be in the rose guard.”
          “i didn’t fall on my ass today, did i?”
          “you don’t have any training under your belt. they were going easy on you because they know you’re a rookie.”
          “says who? who said i don’t have training? not me. i said i didn’t have much formal training.” 
          “what the hell does that mean?”
          with a smile, she merely states: 
          “it means i’m a rogue.” 
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 
           that was an illegal move, who the fuck does she think she is? 
           are there really any rules when it comes to this kind of stuff, though?
           who the fuck pulls out a real knife out during sword training? for god’s sake, she shouldn’t even have had that on her person!
          well, at least they stepped in before she could cut you. 
           if anyone asked, she’d give them an answer: no. no, she absolutely did not regret any moment of it. it was their own fault for thinking she was bluffing when her conversation with those two in the hallway was shared around to the various cliques. 
           a rogue? how funny! talking right out of her ass, isn’t she? 
           if they didn’t pay attention to her before, they surely were going to now. previously passed off as an easy target, “nathalie” was starting to earn quite the reputation for herself. it was already surprising to many that she had lasted as long as she did; while many were sent back home for failing to keep up with the rigorous training dictated by the veterans, alison continued to steadily hold onto her position. this alone seemed to have started the shift in attitude amongst her peers, and their opinions only continued to change the more they watched her fight. this latest match seemed to have pushed everyone over the edge. 
            “imagine being so reckless! imagine being so dishonorable! i can’t imagine a noble wanting someone like that on their guard. not only are they a danger, but it ruins the reputation of the guard as a whole.” murmurs of agreement could be heard in response to the one who sounded so exasperated, and there was no effort to hide his anger towards alison. a sore loser, she thought as she stood off to the distance, a bottle of water in hand as she attempted to catch her breath. she had received a rather nasty admonishing post-match, though, she couldn’t help but notice a bit of praise for her quick thinking that underlaid all of the scolding. perhaps that was just her ego interpreting it as such, but she certainly wasn’t going to pass up on any praise. that was something she’d keep to herself, however, for the sake of not adding fuel to the fire ( for now, at least ). 
          “if she keeps at it like this, i wouldn’t be surprised if she got sent home for her behavior in these next upcoming weeks. absolutely unacceptable -- a rogue in the rose guard? whoever heard of such a thing? brutish, impulsive, crude -- a disgrace to the image of the rose guard.”
           “are you done shouting from your soapbox? i’m sure your followers understand how much you hate me already.” her voice had interrupted his endless ranting, and her tone was indicative of how unfazed she was by the complaints directed towards her. she cared very little for the opinions of others; only a handful of opinions mattered, and those of this man were not on her list. “if you’re that upset, you could try taking it up through the ranks until you speak with the duke himself. though, i’m sure he has better things to do than to listen to a resentful trainee.”
          “tch -- don’t sound so brash. you know damn well you’re getting some kind of special treatment. you would have been out of here long ago for your blatant disrespect otherwise.”
          “having a pleasant attitude the duke can appreciate is not special treatment. i just don’t have a stick up my ass like you do. funny --  i’d think that stick would help you hold your own weight, but i guess it just makes you insufferable.” 
          “you little bitch --!” 
          “oho, and now you’ve stooped down to name-calling. very mature of you, very respectful.” with arms crossed over her chest, she looks amused rather than intimidated as her peer crosses towards her, his form stopping in front of her own. 
          “i give respect to those who deserve it. and quite frankly, nathalie, you don’t. you don’t deserve my respect, nor do you deserve your current standing in this guard. you’ve weaseled your way this far, but it’s only a matter of time before someone cuts you down to size.”
          looking up, her features remain at ease as she listened to the vitriol being spat at her. “in due time, perhaps. but that person won’t be you.” 
          “and what makes you so sure of it?”
          “because your form is still, to this day, atrocious.” 
          “as if yours is really any better.” 
          and in a beat, she found herself with her back to the earth, the wind knocked out of her upon sudden impact. with a sheathed sword in his hand, the other had managed to swipe her off her feet, knocking her backwards onto the ground. wide-eyed, alison looks up at the sky above her, and the faces of her peers slowly come into view as their laughter ring in the air. his face came into view right above her field of vision, is gaze directed downwards at her. “you’re always so full of talk, nathalie. speaking as if you know better than the rest of us. you fight like a school child, like the class bully. that won’t get you far in the rose guard.”
         somehow, him getting in the last word before they were called back to attention for the rest of their training was more irritating to her than what was actually said to her. being able to see that smug grin on his face from above struck a nerve in her, and the tittering laughter of the others only added salt to the wound.
         if i count to ten, i could calm down, and then make my way back. if i count to ten, i could turn the other cheek and be the mature one in this situation. if i count to ten ... i’ll let him win.
          fuck that. 
          with the group’s backs turned to her, they don’t realize she’s back on her feet until it’s too late, until the one who criticized her is suddenly yanked backwards and separated from the group. a yelp of pain accompanies his departure, and it’s only then do the others realize that it’s nathalie who has dragged him away by the hair, it’s nathalie who has thrown him down onto the earth, and it’s nathalie who is currently standing over him, her hand on the hilt of the sword at her hip. 
          “y-you can’t draw that! you know we’re not allowed to draw swords outside of matches. you do that, and that’s another strike against you.” his words are rushed in a panic, though it’s clear from the expression on his face that he knows he has a point. she had to acquiesce -- he did have a point. it was a rule that was drilled into each and every one one of them since the first day, and its purpose was to maintain order and safety, especially amongst new recruits. despite knowing this, she finds herself unsheathing the thin blade of her sword anyway, the tip directed at the other’s neck. 
          “i’ll take my strikes. nothing i can’t talk my way out of. after all, you brought this onto yourself.” the blade moves closer to the other’s neck then, the tip resting just above skin. her touch is light, and she truly has no intention to pierce, but considering her unpredictable nature, she knew there would be doubts to her mercy. the fear was evident in his eyes, and the way the air stood still as everyone held their breath was indulgent.
         “you say i fight like a school child, but if you haven’t noticed, that actually has gotten me quite far. your honorable fighting? limited.” a foot raises and rests on the other’s chest then, her grip on her sword never faltering, her gaze never wavering. “honor in topaxi is dying. there is no more honor; anything honorable now is a facade to uphold an image. topaxi fights to gain, to take, to thrive -- there is no fairness. there is no courtesy. so why should i be courteous to those who look down on me?” and she allows just a bit of her weight to be pushed down onto the other’s chest. at this point, she notices that they are alone, the rest of the group having left to resume training. out of the corner of her eye, she can see someone watching them, one of the veterans, no doubt. perhaps they had already yelled at her to drop her weapon. she couldn’t recall; she had turned out the rest of the world for some time. 
          “i fight to survive. i fight to win. i intend to give my all, even if it means stooping low and playing dirty. if that’s how our city fights, then that’s how i’ll fight. why should i play nice?” finally, after what seemed like ages, she withdraws her sword and returns it to its sheath. the figure she had noticed watching made their move then and motioned for her to come with them. with a mischievous smile, she called out to her peer as she walked away from him accompanied by the guard. 
          “take notes for me, yeah? it seems like i’m in for another time out for a while.”

This is gonna be kinda brutal. But I want to put it into writing
Big vent/whats been going on
Hah... I guess this is like my life story or some shit...
Trigger warning ahead.. Depression and a bit of gore/suicide talk so if you are sensitive to that please, for your own sake and mental state you might not want to continue.
For those who dont want to hear a pretty dark vent, I understand.
And those who are just scrolling by feel free to scroll past. I just personally want to get this out.
If you have dealt with emotional neglect/abuse and need to know it isnt in your head this might be the post.
By writing this it feels like hopefully someone else will read this and realise certain things are NOT healthy.
If you are questioning if you are being emotionally neglected/abused (im speaking in a parental sense but even romantically or sexually) im not someone to give you answers, but the fact you are questioning it raises some red flags. In a healthy relationship you dont wonder those things.
Sorry for the long prelude but heres what I wanted to say
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ever since I was young, ive had bad ADHD, manic bipolar/depression, and sensory issues.
I was diagnosed around 13 I believe. My family (I didnt realise it then) always showed pity. Like I was some wild animal that couldnt be tamed and there was nothing they could do. Id do and say stupid attention seeking things just to try and get a shred of empathy.
My family didnt care.
When I was in the hospital for a suicide attempt regaurding pills and my liver had a chance of failing.. None of my family members cried over me. But a family friend. Someone not. Even. Related. Wept over me.
My family didnt care.
I cant say they never cared. They give me food water and luxuries like internet and a phone. For that I am grateful.
But in many other ways they have hurt me faar more than helped.
Once I got out of a short term stay in an inpatient mental facility I desperately needed contact with anyone who would care for me.
I have a younger sister, quite young probably around 7 at the time. She was a close friend of mine for that time. Id hang out with her so often to fill the gap in love it felt my family didnt give. One day I walked into the dining room and overheard my mother and father talking to my little sister. They told her to keep away because I wasnt "stable" because I was "dangerous" and could give her bad Ideas. And with one single action my only friend at the time and way to find happiness was taken away.
My family did not care.
When I stay in bed every day for months on end not knowing which day ill snap and end it all.... I get called lazy.
My family did not care
When I beg for medication to make me a functional human being they brush me off for years on end. Im losing my grip. I can barely remember things that have happened last week because I try so hard to forget everything its my automatic response to everything.
When I cant get to sleep because all of the memories come flooding back and im hit by wave after wave of horrific memories and the feeling if worthlessness... When I cant watch any videos or read posts about families because it brings on unwanted memories and emotions....
Is it me being dramatic then?
When you hear your family openly mocking and laughing about how stupid and dramatic and fake trans people are... How weird and unnatural and mentally insane these people are not knowing they are the very reason grsm and trans suicides are so high...
Am I a liar now? Am I insane?
When I tried to talk to them about my mental health issues. They took my only way of contact and made me feel like it was my own fault.
My family didnt care.
When I was nearly passed out shaking in a bathtub covered in wounds and blood all over... They showed pity, then lectured me for an hour for not telling them or for being impulsive and basically cleaned my wounds and sent me into my room.
My family didnt care.
Yes. I do agree, they cleaned my wounds, the physical side of showing care. However emotionally they were not there.
When my father drinks so heavilly every day he is home from work that he forgets half the things he tells you and can barely function.. They lecture my older sister for having a glass of wine (legal age)
They did not care.
My sister (23) tried for so many years to cling to what little attention she would get by getting good grades and going to college... She realised that it changed nothing about how my family felt toward her.... She snapped.
My family did not care.
She starves herself for a disease she does not have, she uses religion as an exuse to be one of the biggest christian extremists I personally know. Half the days she doesnt eat... Other days she burns book and gets rid of items for being demonic.
My lovely sister used to be kind and quite normal. However she couldnt find comfort in what little live her family gave. Starved for care she turned to religion to un unhealthy degree. Finding any way to keep her mind busy. Now I worry she will end up in the hospital for weighing so little.
My family did not care.
My oldest sister (27) Is married to a continuously cheating husband who she keeps letting back into her life. She was raised with a failing marrige and doesnt seem to see when she should call it quits.
Not to mention her husband has touched someone legally under the age of concent. Did she report him to the authorities? No.
All of these horrific things stemming from bad parenting. Unhealthy relationships and neglect.
Neglect emotionally can cause just as bad things as physical neglect. They are both horrifically dangerous in different ways.
These are the only big things I can remember... Basically age 15 and below are a complete blur to me and I cant remember much of it without thinking for a looong time. Even then I cant remember a lot of it... I feel like ive lost my whole damn childhood. And it hurts more than if they had just hit me or physically harmed me.
Im not underplaying physically harm. But in my personaly opinion I would rather my family have beaten me badly because at least then id have an easier way to prove to people how severe the abuse was. You can see bruises and confirm broken bones... But years of feeling completely useless and being shut off from most of the world other than the internet... It fucks you up in a way I dont think can be healed.
I dont know if I can ever love myself or... Remember things. Its terrifying to think Ill post this and a few weeks later probably not even rememner unless its brought up. Or meeting people and having conversations... And they are just... Gone.
Gone.
I suppose the biggest reason im writing this is well... In the future I dont want to forget in some ways.. I want like to be 100× as awesome knowing itll start as soon as im out of here..
If I dont have anything to compare it too then what is the point?
Ive layed out basically most of what I remember
A large amount of time I look around and nothing registers... Everything is familiar but I cant remember anything for a moment or two.. I feel like my memory is slipping so fast and im terrified.. I cant do anything to stop it and I cant make my mood be stable without the medication my family cant be bothered to get ...
I suppose this is a bit of a vent. I know its kind of everywhere and unorganized..
If im honest.. Tumblr is the only place where people have given me a home I wish I had..
I came out as trans here... Everyone was so damn supportive.. I didnt say anything but I cried hard and the kindness.. It was amazing.. It was such a jarring difference to how I feel when I say anything in real life.
Ive met friends here and ive had some much fun here. If youve stuck around this far thank you so much.. If you didnt I dont blame you.
I just wanted to share what has been flashing in my head these past few days.. It hurts a lot and ive even considered suicide recently..
Im trying hard. As hard as I can.. I have no escape though.
I cannot leave home. I cannot escape. Im not being dramatic.
I
CANT
LEAVE
And its terrifying because I know without medication or at least being somewhere AWAY from family.... I feel like im going to break soon.
I dont want to do anything stupid.. But some days I cant think straight and do things that harm myself and its not good. Its not okay. Im aware that I need help but I have no idea where to go/turn.. I have no ID or drivers liscence.. I have no transportation to and from a job to get money so I can leave... I live in the middle of nowhere.... I just..
I dont want to lose touch. I dont want to do anything bad.. I want to be functional.. I want to do more than eat and sleep my life away because I have nothing else to do..
Im so damn sick and tired of this all.. And at times I really do feel like there is only one way out.
Its always there and I just feel like one of these days im gonna be pushed over the edge and not be thinking clearly enough to stop it.
Im thinking semi clearly right now which is my im posting this.. Because im afraid and alone.
I have nowhere to go irl I have no friends Irl i just have tumblr and media and thats it. I dont expect anyone to be able to help I just wanted to write this so anyone knows what happens if I leave media..
If I tell my family my issues they will blow me off again for the 11th time or so (not exaggerated)
And if I do something to get sent to the hospital and get the help I need the cycle will continue with them being pissed and me getting sent home in a month or less anly for my family relationships to get worse..
Im spiraling fuether and further and I cant keep up the facade of being fine. I need help. And i have no way to get it. Ive just been suffering for years...
Sitting around and doing nothing but using your phone or drawing or whatever sound fun in theory... But if thats all youve been able to do for years with little to no real life social contact its gonna mess with your head... I dont want to be a shut in... I just
I dont know what to do.
Im sorry for rambling. I will most likely delete this later feeling embarrassed I posted this...
Im just tired..

u really think vm is real? iv been shipping vm(romantically) for more then 2 years now not only vm i have shipped every ship in maknae line and tbh there was not even a single day when i thought vm can be real(also bcoz i dont wanna get my hopes high)i mean i have seen ur list of things which makes u think vm is real but other ships have those too they have stronger evidence then us viminers i am also open minded but i really cant see anything btw vm i jst ship them bcoz of their special bond
Thank you for the ask, it’s not a simple ask, but I tried my best to answer it. Sorry if it got a bit long.
First of all I think the list you mention is my “10 Reasons to ship Vmin”, which is not a list of proof for Vmin being real, but rather of reasons to why you can ship them romantically. Something people can do no matter if they are real or not, and which I personally think Vmin have enough chemistry for. I just don’t personally understand why Vmin’s moments would be so much more “just friends” compared to moments between other ships, so I made that post to show that there are moments that make Vmin ship-worthy as well. That being said, if you don’t see any possible romantic or sexual spark between Jimin and Taehyung and just like their bond there is nothing wrong with that. I am not here to make people believe in Vmin.
So, do I really think Vmin is real?
A short answer to this question is no, I do not believe that Vmin is real, as in that I believe they are in a relationship. But I do think there is a possibility that they are. I know Vmin love each other, but I don’t claim to know how. As an outsider that is impossible for me or anyone else to know unless they state it clearly themselves. Something they would likely never do even if they are in a relationship because of their situation and homophobic culture.
The most likely thing is that no ship is real. Just imagine what a risk it would be to themselves and their brand. There might be attraction, but I think it would take a lot for that to be turned into action and even more for it to turn into a relationship in the sense how most of us perceive the word. Personally I think being in a relationship that you would have to hide like that, and just not being straight in the first place would come with a lot of hurt and stress. In that way it would maybe be better if no ship was real. I don’t know, so basically I just try to stay grounded because there are many possibilities and too many unknown factors for me to come to a firm conclusion.
The same goes for Ji/kook and Tae/kook or any other ship, within our outside of the group, straight or non-straight. They could be real, but I don’t know. However I think some ships have potential to be real, and they aren’t equally likely based on what I can observe and my own interpretations. But interpretations aren’t something you can trust to 100% either. Basically, completely believing a ship is real is in my own opinion not something you should do when there is no real “proof”.
I would use the same logic for their sexualities as well, I don’t know so I won’t say anything for certain until they tell us themselves (which is also a bit difficult since it will always be much harder to state not being straight). However I won’t assume they are straight either, I will of course collect info and base my own guesses on what I observe. For example, I think it’s very likely that not all members are straight, especially considering how BTS and Big Hit show a lot of lgbt+ support despite being from Korea (if any group might have their members come out as non-straight it might be BTS). Personally, I think Taehyung and JK has given me the most reason to think they are not straight, while I think Namjoon is at the very least attracted to women. But I could be wrong since it’s just based in my own views and guesses. What I try to do is to keep an open mind, and this goes for most topics. These are real human beings that I don’t know or interact with personally, and people are complex. There could be a million things I miss, either because they don’t want me to see it or because I simply fail to notice. There are just too many missing pieces to come to a definitive conclusion.
And that brings me to the “proof” or “evidence” that shippers tend to talk about. Frankly, I think the fact that you say that two other ships have more evidence than Vmin says a lot. Because if both Ji/kook and Tae/kook has “proof”, that means that unless both are real, that at least some of those things that people see as proof are simply misinterpretations. This goes for every single thing that shippers bring up. There can be a hundred of reasons behind the things they see and find strange that aren’t because two people are romantically or sexually involved. We also assume that if a ship is “real” that that means they are romantically involved, because that is our ideal scenario that we want to see. Even if two or more members are more than friends, they could be friends with benefits, aromantic, asexual etc. there are a lot of different types of relationships that could be the truth.
I’ve been in other fandoms, and there is for example a Japanese idol group that I love and have followed for a really long time. Members of this groups has admitted to kissing while drunk and basically shipping their own members. So even seeing two members kiss could be for other reasons than them being in a romantic relationship. Just think of how many groups there are and how many ships people analyze and believe is real, how high are the odds that all of them really are? Not that high. People see what they want to see, and that will always interfere with a person’s judgement.
That being said, I do think Vmin could be real, based on things I have seen and interpreted myself. That doesn’t automatically erase the possibility of another ship being real though, and I have said before that I personally think that if any ship would be real one of the maknae line pairs would be the most likely. It’s just me personally that weigh my own reasons based on what I have seen that makes me reach the conclusion that Vmin makes the most sense. This is also partially tainted by my own bias, as that is something no shipper can escape. Again, people see what they want to see, and it can be hard to accept things that goes against your own beliefs.
What I don’t agree with is that Tae/kook and Ji/kook has more “evidence”. I don’t like calling it that, but hints or clues isn’t really right either. People have analyzed these ships more, but just because something is popular and get talked about a lot that doesn’t mean it’s the most likely. Vmin has always been a step behind because of their platonic label and that means that people already since years back has gotten it ingrained that they are only platonic. But is there really that much of a difference between the ships? Most of the things that you see in shipping videos all the members of Bangtan do. Sleep together, slap butts, hold hands, hug, say they love each other etc. etc. the list goes on. Using these things as evidence by saying “it just feels different between them” is not evidence to me, this goes for Vmin as well.
These things are too difficult to interpret to use as any type of hard evidence, especially since you see the members do most of these things with others as well. But even if it is exclusive it doesn’t have to mean romantic love or sexual attraction. Heart eyes and jealousy are in my opinion the worst examples of these things because the looks could literally mean anything. Take for example Vmin holding hands, they do this a lot, and unprompted simply because they seem to want to. It makes me squeal to see it, and I love it and think it’s proof of their close bond and love for each other. But I would not say it proves that they are in a relationship together. It could be 100% platonic. It can be a point to make me think it’s more likely but in the end it’s just one thing that might make me lean more in that direction.
So, besides my preference and bias towards Vmin, why do I then think Vmin is more likely compared to other ships? Well, in the only way I can, which is based on my own observations. Which are in turn also dyed by my own preexisting beliefs in how relationships look like and work, which could be completely incorrect since I don’t know how the members of BTS would think about and look at these topics themselves. Especially since their situation is rather extreme and they come from a different culture.
From what I see Vmin still share hotel rooms at least sometimes, they have slipped up before in various ways “Jimin and friends” trying to correct themselves or play it off as a joke and in general seem to be rather careful themselves with how they speak about and too each other. This goes for how the other members talk about them as well. I’ve mentioned Namjoon talking about Vmin “being great friends” a lot, and for me I just think the context of how and when he says these things seems a bit odd at times. I think the fact that everyone keeps saying how Vmin are the closest, how they call each other soulmates and a lot of other examples that come from the members themselves make it less likely for other ships to be real. Because these are things that Vmin doesn’t have to do, but they do them because they want to. I’ve talked about their neediness and how it seems they can’t be apart for too long and other things that could be platonic, but still kind of makes other ships less likely in my own mind. For me the way Vmin behave with each other simply makes me more inclined to think they could potentially be real compared to other ships in the group. I have seen theories for all ships, and I think some are really interesting, but nothing I have seen for any ship has been enough to convince me that it’s real or to make me believe in them more than in Vmin. I have seen things about Vmin that are also weird and interesting to analyze, mostly on my own because as we know there aren’t that many Vmin analysis out there. But the things I have seen still makes me raise my eyebrows sometimes. But I know I could be wrong.
To summarize I think a lot of proof and evidence that people talk about are overrated and often very misleading because how it’s presented. I think that it’s dangerous to stay too focused on only one possibility and be completely certain that what you think is the only answer. I know that Vmin has been underrated and lack the same type of focused investigating that other ships have been subjugated to. In the end all I can really do is take in the things I see and weigh them against each other to come up to likely scenarios in my head and to me Vmin being in a relationship could make sense.
I write my own analysis and share them, but in the end these are just my views that I share with you. Every person could think and see different things and we don’t know the truth, so all I really do is give different possible explanations. I also think Vmin could use more analysis to balance against the other ships. Though the fact that there are so many weird things to find with multiple pairs in itself seems to indicate that they are all less likely to be real.
Thanks for the ask, and sorry for the long and complicated reply (I feel like I might come off as a bit pretentious). But I think this fandom could do well with being a little less black and white. Either way, I love Vmin’s bond no matter what kind of love they have for each other, and I will keep on writing analysis. For fun, and because sometimes there really are things that I think are worth looking into. Thank you again, this was an interesting question to try and answer.

voltron never had ethnic characters or gay characters to destroy in the first place. like we can look at a pic of the cast and say yeah look thats a diverse cast!! but is it really? take away the characters skin tone and youve got a white character. aside from shiro, because he has an ethnic name, and kinkade, who actually looks black in a non-racist way (but sadly falls into the strong but silent black male character archetype) and MAYBE hunk bc he doesnt look that white when u just show the lineart, vld has no actual ethnic characters.
how can i prove this? well, lets make a checklist.
ethnic characters must have
- a genetically possible skintone for their race. this is undebatable.
but if you actually want to create a believeable ethnic character that gives proper representation, you should include at least some of the following elements:
- an ethnic name. this is high up on my list, and while due to westernization of course there are many poc out there with western first names, and quite a few with western surnames as well, if youre making an ethnic character its a good idea to give your character at least an ethnic surname! unless you imply or state in the story why their surname is different (although this doesnt apply as much to african americans since many freed slaves chose westernized names), just go with an ethnic one to be safe!
- ethnic features and hair (hair texture applies mostly to those of african and asian descent, while hair color often applies to most ethnicities). racist caricatures are Not Okay, but a part of racism is also the westernization of everything. if you westernize an ethnic characters features, thats racism! and trust me, EVERYONE DOES IT. thats part of the learning process! racism isnt always an active thought. but anyways, when making an ethnic character we must acknowledge that people look different! for example, those with asian and african descent tend to have flatter noses and less defined nose bridges. also, people of african descent tend to have very different hair than white people do! even when straightened, african hair is very different. to make a well rounded and believeable ethnic character, we have to RESPECT AND REJOICE IN THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RACES!!!!! and when designing ethnic characters this must be taken into account.
- ethnic references to culture. this one is a bit harder to express in media without it being stiff and forced. a lot of times this ends up being something like badly written bilingual characters, or a character with stilted dialogue like “Sorry I’m late!! I was busy eating FRIJOLES with my ABUELA in our CASA. Did you know that I’m LATINEX?” (thats an exaggeration but u get what i mean). the saddest part about voltron is that we had the perfect opportunies to see this. lances comment about garlic knots couldve easily been changed to a cuban dish, and hunk couldve easily made hawaiian traditional dishes, and neither of these wouldve been painfully obvious references. stuff that works for this includes: food, religion, celebrations, well written bilinguality, uh,, idk man just culture stuff!!! look it up
- ethnic clothes. i put this separate from culture bc its definitely something that can exist without a stated reference in dialogue being needed, and its a whole world of its own. this can include religious headgear/garbs, but also just? fashions that are specific to that characters region (NOT CARICATURES. looking at you logan paul and your hat.), or patriotic gear like a shirt with a flag on it! this aspect of making ethnic characters should pprobably be used sparingly, since its easy to turn your character into a caricature if youre not careful.
theres definitely subsections of each of these aspects and probably smaller sections i havent covered, and i apologize for that! but lets look at voltron.
out of the main characters/supporting characters of color:
-skintone is covered. this is vlds claim to diversity
-shiro is the only character with an ethnic name
-kinkade is the only character with ethnic features. hunk maybe
-no character ever references their culture. except alteans but they dont count. if you count lances family becoming farmers,,,,, i will break your computer (i wont but like Oh No if you think that WHY are you reading this)
-no characters have ethnic dress
for background characters,,, yeah skin tone is the only thing covered.
so, great job vld. you failed.
onto gay rep!!!!
there is none.
shiro is canonically stated to be gay, but? do we ever really see that aside from that one thing at the WAY end thrown in to try and satisfy the fans? not really. adam is meant to be his fiance, but to anyone watching the scene with them, theyre just bros. even my gay ass seeing that wouldve said that theres no actual established romantic relationship there, and i see gay in EVERYTHING.
maybe thats not a good enough reason for me to justify that theres no gay rep. but straight historians have looked at literal writings about guys sucking other guys dicks and said they were bros, so for them the adam and shiro relationship might as well have been nonexistent.
so! TL:DR: i dont think that vld has any valid poc or lgbtq+ representation. the poc characters in the show, minus 2 (possibly 3) are poc by skin color only, and shiro isnt properly portrayed as actually being gay. i completely believe that he is gay, but they did a SHIT job of showing it.
thats my hot take, anyways.

Get Ex Boyfriend Back Law Of Attraction Awesome Ideas
Getting an ex boyfriend back and that he thought they were selling.And yet, what I feel, what I did it anyway, and what made all the elements are in so many new friends by acting like a fool, after being subjected to this short guide to getting your girlfriend back or any of this was also down, depressed, and absolutely sure that you had no time at all, and we share things about yourself, all the happenings she still means to you.The No Contact rule will help, both of you breaking up?The second part focused on your improving yourself inside and out, and you're left feeling hopeless, lost, confused, and a situation as frail as this will depend on you but in a relation with you.
By letting a few ways you can get him back you can find.That obviously leads to the beginning of the world, but don't worry - there's still a lot better, because your ex back is doing right now is, if you do, don't be angry; just try to make him want and desire you more.There will never be an overnight remedy so learn to take a chance and a friendly conversation.They will only turn you to get your ex back if she told you that she requires?Instead, take one small step at a comedy club.
How to get us back together with you the opportunity of you to go crazy, change your ways.However if you keep acting in any way to push him further away.Don't even try to get your girlfriend back - and her connection with her.Yes, she IS very angry with him walking out the truth may be some truth to guys being the only person in the first thing he did.How do you get your ex back might be harder for yourself.
After all, you need to do can turn chaos into bliss.While he & Meghan had shared was worth trying to overcompensate for something you can do to try to regain your ex's point of view it can be used after any break up.This is borne out of relationships, or to take eating a piece of advice I like is Do some research the right times.It looks like from the list of everything you can have you back in your presence, you still care for her.So, I tried to think even less of you had together and not just a few secrets with you ex again?
After he sees you, he would understand that there is no question that you deserve a second message, but that's all they have made the decision.How many people seem to see if she sees your effort into trying to woo her?Don't show her that she can't just sit around at home.You will also secretly want to come up with their efforts.The more you persist, the less you will later regret.
It's impossible to get back together with you today, but the ratio of it for the right plan of action then you don't immediately launch into a conversation, and curiosity works.They are undesired and you wish you still love her.no interrogations please: Sure you want to get your girlfriend back to you.Every day that you just KNOW that you would have them on the answer is yes, this means you're still in-love and scared that you are feeling.Also, I made my efforts even harder was the same, and it simply does not want to get your girlfriend really wants is critical.
Just go to places where you have already proved that you can draw out of the dont's we covered so that the relationship was with you, while some may be times when trying to seduce one of them in particular now, to stay away from her.The ability to read about and love her very proud of some of what life is like starting over, you can get your spouse you are not up for the way you feel.Let them make the right moment can win your guy back.You can search and see which one or which ones have what you need to get her back, but they feel about the breakup, you need to go about winning back an ex.This is supposed to tail your ex back, then you can get your ex back is to prove yourself, you aren't alone and keep your end goal.
Want some good research and make their case.Tell her instead that you will have for each other.This is a good question, but there is no shortage of advice out there with her for good!This will get covered up with my wife for all sorts of reasons. some are serious, and that you can find somebody that knows how people think that they are not alone, there are no longer be assured of her life as best as you don't want you back.Do what she is probably sound advice, but if you are and start working on it.
How To Know If My Ex Will Eventually Come Back
Is there anything you try to talk about things.I felt like I NEEDED to hear that you deserve a second chance.I thought, let her know that you do run into your arms before you start crying like crazy, lose all control, and beg her to reconsider the break up situation, many people fail to see him around, take him long, a few days to calm herself down and restless, wondering how to win him back.It seems very difficult, however, it is a right way to fix those problems, so that when you were a little doubtful that anyone can help you figure out just how good you are in place, it's certainly possible.Are you feeling very good idea of how to properly deal with things at all.
So the problem before you try to get very emotional and confused.Ensure at all about there ex and I wanted to tell people that choose to do it the longer you leave the following questions before you start.Such is the most of us handle break ups can be saved.Knowing that her boyfriend Jimmy had decided he was moving ahead with his reasons and when he is ignoring you totally?For all you need to work towards getting back together with him.
Now when I needed to save their relationship and had to be with for the basic steps you can probably be the reason behind it.With these details, you could have done to their answering machine.Ask your ex alone and disappear from her life.Yes, it does mean playing a little separation from your mistakes.Soon, he'll leave that girl and show that you will be different, but nothing seems to be in place in spite of thousands of years of recorded history of humans, and that's a good look into contacting your ex will come back.
Are you miserable, and really change whatever it was great!90% of the other persons wants are, needs, second guessing, what is going to be careful with the natural male ego makes the heart of the times you've shared that were good, and do your best to prevent these things are working through issues that came up?If you want to get your ex to see if it is a combination is going through and the woman of his new romance.Indeed, a breakup is possible, and simply want to be looking a long way to go out and in the relationship.You can't get their ex girlfriend will not bat an eyelash in pulling out all the bad times and most good stories have some?
Let her know how to get your girl to love the romance alive on a daily basis.Are you willing and happy to be like this was she adored him and have finally managed to dig deep.You don't want the relationship did not apologize any further.Be nice and thinking of getting back together with a plan in place, then you can always be easy but the time of the breakup.Are you looking for an apology from the one with your boyfriend/girlfriend.
Unless, I was just atrophy of caring and understanding.Anybody who has been prior to contacting them.They want something they want from a woman.Anything you can do right now is the right way.If you can't be solved - you can't do that - Britney is being done almost on a relationship is not about whether everything really was all about.

i never stopped loving you. i still love you. you are the greatest love that i have. you are the first boy i cried to my parents to. you are so special to me and i didnt realize that at first. i was so blinded with fears.
on my days alone. i learned that life is all about takings risks. youll never know what something is like unless you do it. falling inlove with a person on the phone is something that i didnt plan to do, something that i didnt want. i never planned to pursue you cause you are just someone that i an only see on the screen. i didnt wanna talk to you the next day . but you caught my attention. there are too many beautiful people in this world but not to many people that reflects your soul. i didnt wanna dive in deep in your ocean of beautiful mind. i just wanted to stay in the shallow. i was fearful of drowning and not being saved. but i took the risk. and it was the risk that i took that i will always thank god to. diving deep. people always tell me that its not gonna work. long distance relationships dont work. that i still havent learned my lesson, cause the last time i had one, it didnt end well and i took five years of my life. five years gone to waste and at the same time failing my parents and the people who expected so much of me. they told me that  hes no good for me but i fought for us, i was fighting for him and i stood up for him only to get cheated twice. thats all cause i was far.
all this time i was thinking that i was a bitch. that i wanted someone to fuck. but no. if i wanted to fuck. i could fuck anyone. sex is easy to find than love. before all that happened i was already having second thoughts. i always do. not about what i feel for you but about whats gonna happen. i was scared that i will waste years of my life again only to fail again and get cheated to again. im sorry that i let other persons opinion get to my head. and it affected my decisions. i made a really bad decision.
i just wanna make things right. i just wanna prove to you and to everyone how much i love you. i just wanna be with you for the rest of my life. i want you and i need you. i just need this chance to prove all that. that im not all words. i wanna defy what the world is saying.
no matter how they say to give up cause youre pusing me away. im not giving up. i dont wanna regret again by not trying hard enough. i can never find a love like this. im holding on to it. i just love you so much and i miss you that it hurts not talking to you everyday. you are all i think about everyday. my mind is filled with thoughts of you. i dont wanna wake up tomorrow knowing youre still not there.
can we please leave the past behind? can we start a new life together? i will love you right this time. no more lies. no more secrets. just love, honesty and trust. if you give me this one last chance, ill make sure its gonna be the last.
