i feel like we as a society are sleeping TOO HARD on kei. he’s a sick, sick, individual and it feels like no one notices!!!!
honestly, it’s genius. his character by nature is DESIGNED to fall under the radar; always there, but never seen-type. love him so bad lowkey.
he’s, like, the 3rd(?) biggest yan of the game, CANONICALLY, and yet the people do not care 💔/j
bro is dangerous as hell, sorry. i cannot stop thinking about him. think with me. he was partners with mc— a person who really didn’t care for him—for a singular class project in high school and yet he switched around his entire life’s trajectory for them. he left everything behind; his future, his family, his sanity. all to seek the attention of someone who never glanced twice at him outside of the classroom.
chances are he knew how insane this was. when his parents screamed at him for letting his grades fall off the bone, there was probably a voice in his brain that was also shouting about how unreasonable he was being. and yet, despite all that, he pushed on. for some unclear, yet fascinating reason, it’s obvious that kei has no plans on stopping anything he’s doing until you’re his.
after meeting you, his mindset changed. and as it changed, so did his social circle. he went from the smartest kid in school to having “most likely to be jailed” written under him in the yearbook (credits to haruto, probably). okay ramble over! sorry your little guys literally won’t exit my head
final thoughts: he’s so cute. i want him.
LMAOOOOOOO nah fr fr though, I actually love him and have so much planned for him. I think honestly, he's one of my favorites??? at least at the moment. It's really fun to write him and to just think about him.
Yeah he's the 2nd most yandere, everyone is too focused on Yani(so valid though, love her<3) He's so slept on though :,( /hj There's like 2 people in the discord that have the Kei role, literally slept on so much LMAO. Still, I'm happy that you love him so much!
The urge to literally SPILL all of the info I have on Mine is insane, I cannot wait to share this story with everyone! It's definitely not the only or first vn to do this and I think I'm actually seeing a lot more vns do it but still, I have a bit more planned still so even if you guys find out early on there will still be some major plot twist! Anyways sorry, we're talking about Kei and I get so hyped about the plot of Mine LMAOOO he's so suspicious(I say as if I wasn't the one who made him)
I want to write so much more for this but I would be spilling so much lore LMAOOOOO Like fr though, Kei is slept on so much even though he's like one of the most important people to the plot. I've stated so many times how I write characters in most significance to the plot and how their routes are set up and Kei is just ignored. If any of you figure out the plot of Mine beforehand message me, if you get it right I have no reason not to tell you LOL However I totally understand wanting to play the game and figure out the plot yourself while playing, makes me feel big brain when I do that. But I actually love posts like this where it's psychoanalyzing characters and theorizing, it makes me so happy.
LMAOOO yeah, Haruto would do that. Tell you what, it was a shocker for Haruto and you when you two beat Kei who has been 1st in class since elementary school. He really threw everything away for you. Went from being loved by his parents, friends, and teachers to being rejected by everyone, including himself. No one has loved him for such a long time, he hopes you can change that <3
Yeeeees join us, one of us one of us one of us! love having them stuck in my head and it makes me so happy that others have my characters stuck in theirs!!

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the Last 10 people Who reblogged something from you. Learn about your mutuals and followers. 🎠 But only if you want to, just have fun! 💖💖
Awe thank you!~ I love this sm! Answers are gonna get long-winded though T_T
5 Things That Make Me Happy:
Positive Feedback - has to be on the top of my list because this absolutely does breathe life into me. I started writing in the first place to make people happy. I do it because I love it and I want to share that love with others. I want to be the writer that makes people look forward to getting off work to read that new chapter or the reason they stayed up a little too late because they just had to know what happened next. I want my stories to be someone else's escape. And maybe one day, I'll be on their bookshelves, too. ♥
Genuine Friendships - they're so important to me. I'm someone who has very few friends and even fewer family, so if you're close to me, it means something. I'm all about chosen family, and it often reflects in my writing (one of my fav main characters has a tendency to adopt lonely misfits). With my friends, we're either just acquaintances or you're my goddamn sibling, there's really no in between, which is both a good and a bad quality trait.
Fucking Fallout - because it's the most immersive game I've ever played. I know a lot of the games get some hate throughout the fandom, but I genuinely love every installment that they come up with, because it continues the story. Even with all its flaws, I love all of 1, 2, 3, 4, NV, and 76. I'm more partial to 4 because I relate more to their characters, but NV had the superior storyline. ♥ I literally cannot get this game or these characters out of my head.
BTS - Okay hear me out on this one: I know BTS is a stereotypical K-Pop band, but I seriously love them as people. I don't like K-Pop normally, as a genre. I listened to "emo music" growing up (I was born in 1993 so the 2000s was where my favorite music really lied). I was also a troubled kid and I brought a lot of those insecurities and trauma to my adulthood, and my old bands just wasn't doing it anymore. The memories of teen angst mostly stressed me out. But then I found BTS, and their music and messages helped me SO MUCH as a young adult, well into later adulthood (I'm 29 now). I absolutely love them, and they make me happy with their genuine care and messages. Those 7 boys are some of my biggest inspirations in life, reminding me that I can do anything if I try hard enough. But you will NEVER catch me mixing my love for BTS with the Fallout stuff on this blog. I've noticed that liking K-Pop is a quick way to catch hate, so I keep my obsession with them to myself. I'm okay with that; I've done it for the last six years.
My Husband - as cheesy as it is to say, I have the best husband I could have asked for. STORY TIME: I met him in Kindergarten, and he was always getting me in trouble by making me laugh and the teacher kept telling us to be quiet. She had to separate us. I had a crush on him in 2nd grade. Then we didn't see each other again until middle school. We had gym class together in 6th grade. In 8th grade, we became best friends. He dated a friend of ours in 9th, and I thought that would help me get rid of the feelings I had for him because I was terrified I'd ruin our friendship if I made a move. It didn't work out between him and our friend, but he told me in 10th grade that he liked me a lot, and we really understood each other. (Honestly it "helped" that we both came from troubled/broken families and were both below poverty level.) When we got together, we were each other's first EVERYTHING. We were together all throughout high school with no complications, and our peers deemed us worthy of being prom king and queen in 12th grade even though we were the nerds who oftentimes got bullied. It was so surreal. We moved in together after high school. We went through a loooooot of bullshit. Being kicked out of houses, losing jobs, losing family members (deaths and otherwise) and we're pretty much inseparable now. We've been together for 14 years. He's supportive in everything I do, even if he doesn't always understand my obsessions. He believes in me. He knows I'm not going to thank him for doing the bare minimum (respecting me, listening to me, helping me, not expecting me to mother him, etc). He genuinely fucking loves me. And he's pretty damn handsome and funny, too. Icing on the cake. And after losing all the people that we have over the years, we're pretty much all that we've got left. But I wouldn't choose to live this life with anyone else.

🌷💞✨ answer with 3 random facts about yourself, then send this to 10 other people 🌷💞✨
Hi, hello and thank you!
I used to be a giant weeb in my teens, but more so for the vibes (or whatever) than actually liking anime or mango (given that I've watched 7 or 8 titles, maybe). I attended a lot of weeb conventions (12 of them or so) and my first at the ripe old age of 10 I believe. And I even moderated a panel once, with my friend! It was about Elsword in the golden days! Said panel was attended by one jealous incel out of spite; because I dated the girl he wanted to. We both left his stinky-ass guild the following week. He was basic af and I cannot imagine any other way of having sex with him than with something in his mouth and a bag on his head. It's not even about being ugly. It's about being ugly on the inside. He was also homophobic so he was thrice as ugly if you ask me. Now I'm ace and gay and my ex-girlfriend is engaged to a trans guy - suck it bitch. Anyway, yeah. I still have the entrance thing-y with "Dr Aki" as a nickname. I had PhD at the ripe old age of 10. What were you doing with your life?
So I talk a lot about learning English out of spite so maybe now I'll like… Bring the context to this; So in my 1st year of middle school, my English teacher told me I'm not gonna achieve anything in this field because I'm dyslexic and I don't pronounce shit correctly. So I took it upon myself to spit on her face and I started teaching myself by myself; I was reading dictionaries (still do, as a matter of fact, that's a hobby of mine; and according to my favourite greek professor - hers too), watching dozen people speaking English on ytube (usually tried to pick folks of different ethnicities because it's so damn enticing and mesmerising; listening to how different groups speak the same language differently) and so on and so forth. From that year onward, I was finishing every year with the highest possible grade (here, marks go from 1 to 6. With 1 being the lowest, and 6 being the highest - and requiring knowledge beyond the given curriculum) and 3 years later I went to represent my piece of shit worthy high school on English Olympics. It's like a string of tests for nerds. I didn't get really far, to be fair my life was a literal fucking mess at the time, but I got to the 2nd stage (out of 3) and got my ass handed to me by *one* exercise. I can do a lot of shit, but you take letters out of words for me and I'm donezo. I'm pulling the white flag, throwing the towel, tapping out. I can't. So yeah, I'm a machine powered up by spite!
I was a very creative kid in the age bracket of 7 to 14. I was doing pottery classes, drawing classes, I was going to secret club meetings to write stuff. To this day I'm really missing the spark that lived in that little ol' body of mine. Not to be masturbating to my own work but I really loved the style I had back then. My narrative might have sucked from an academic perspective but it was so damn entertaining to read! I made a lot of snarky or interesting commentary in the way I wrote stuff. Some of it is really cringeworthy to read right now; given that my humour has changed a lot, but it just goes to show that kids can be really, really creative. I also had so much time on my hands, because bitch - I was manufacturing love stories like some of the biggest monopolies in this world. Friends to enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, frenemies to frelovers, retellings, original concepts, concepts 'that I thought were original but then I started classical studies', concepts that borderline on copyright theft - you fucking name it. And you know what? Not a single dick in sight. That's right, I was a pure bean even then… I wasn't 2 years later but that's beside the point.
I hope that suffice? Thank you for the ask once again! ^^

classmate!sunghoon
Tumblr media
pairing: classmate!sunghoon x female reader
genre: fluff, comedy
description: you felt like park sunghoon was way, WAY out of your league... what happens when the teacher tells him to move seats and sit next to you?
*didnt proofread
————
becoming friends with park sunghoon was not something you expected to happen this year
throughout high school you had a small group of friends and never really stuck out
so when your teacher told sunghoon to move seats..
the seat happened to be the empty one next to..
guess who *cue the evil laugh*
YOU!!!!
your first thought was
‘this entire year is just gonna be him completely ignoring my existence or awkward interactions’
now you’ve heard of park sunghoon.... its basically a guarantee at your high school
he has this group of friends and theyre labelled as the popular kids i guess you could say
and the only reason he had to move seats in your two hour long class was because he and his friend jake goof off in class too often and your teacher deemed them “too distracting”
so eventually sunghoon was forced to move all the way across the classroom
right next to you
you were shocked to say the least
obviously he was handsome
too handsome to the point where you questioned how someone as good looking as him went to your school
he sighed and got up from his chair next to jake
but he still had a small smile remaining on his face indicating he wasnt that upset about him having to leave his friend
your heart began to beat quicker automatically as he walked towards your desk
even if you didnt have a crush on him like alot of people did, you still felt nervous around popular students like him for some reason
he ran his hand through his hair and sat down next to you, setting his bookbag on the floor next to him
he didnt look at you, nor acknowledge you
Awkward....
but nonetheless the lecture began again and the class sat in silence
taking notes on their laptops or sleeping
there were around 30 people in your class and your seat was in the middle row next to the window so you often gazed outside from the 2nd floor during class
you glanced to your right and noticed sunghoon slouched back in his seat, twirling around a pencil in his hand while his laptop remained open on his desk
it was just a white screen so he didnt take any notes
you were surpised because you knew he had fairly decent grades
you ignored your thoughts and continued taking your own notes
soon enough the bell rang and sunghoon stood up immediately and walked over to jake
‘yup’ you thought. ‘we are definitely not going to be having a single conversation this year.’
fast forward a couple days!!!!
you were sitting in class next to the boy
as normal
and you still have yet to talk to him.. mainly because you never initiated conversations ESPECIALLY when its a really really cute boy
anyways
ur teacher is like
Ok class im assigning a project and ur partner is the person sitting next to u
yay!!!!!! (can u sense the sarcasm)
welp
you sit in silence while everyone in the class starts discussing with their partners
the project is you have to make a presentation on a world issue of your choice
“um...” u start
sunghoon starts pulling out his laptop and binder
“what do you wanna do?”
he doesnt even look you
well!!!!!!
u didnt know sunghoon and his group of friends very well but u definitely thought they were more... friendly than this
its silent for like 5 seconds
“huh? oh sorry did you say something?”
“uh yeah.. i asked what you wanted to do for the project.”
“project?”
God u tried so hard not to laugh
you think he noticed because his cheeks turned a really light shade of pink
he looked so innocent
“yeah we have to make a presentation” you lightly chuckled
he was very amusing without even trying
“oh sorry haha.. i zone out easily”
“its okay.. but its due in less than 2 weeks so”
so you two spent the next hour choosing a topic and working on the project
it was kind of awkward for the first 10 minutes but then you warmed up to eachother
u were lucky that he was an extrovert too
(sunghoon is an extrovert for the sake of this story OK)
u were also lucky that he was smart
it was easy for you to talk to him.. he just felt comfortable
contrary to ur prior belief.. sunghoon was actually a really really cool guy
u used to think he was just a guy
now u think hes a really really cool guy
“can you please stop putting penguin clip art on the slides” you giggle
then he puts parrot clip art instead
“do your work!!!!” he was supposed to keep researching but he was trying to balance his pen on his nose
“shhh y/n... im doing something important.”
you roll your eyes
he was always doing something that was Not work
but you found it entertaining
and he’d make dumb little jokes that made you both hide your faces in your arms on top of the desk to hide your laughter
“hey y/n”
“what”
“what do you call an old snowman”
“i dunno.. snowgramps”
“no.. water”
you both made eye contact before bursting into laughter and then forcing yourselves to be quiet before u got in trouble
but that made everything funnier so you both were just covering your faces while trying so hard not to make a sound
this was so weird
u have never clicked with someone so fast before it honestly felt exciting
you were talking to sunghoon as if you’d been friends with him since birth
Very Very weird because you had only talked to him an hour ago and now u two are acting like besties ?!?!
jake noticed from across the room too
hes like ‘Why is sunghoon having fun without me🙄🙄’
the bell rings and so far you only have 2 slides
“we didnt get anything done” you note as you pack your bag
“yeah yeah i know. we can work on it more tomorrow”
“right.. see you tomorrow” you’re about to head out until jake walks up
“hey bro” he and sunghoon do some kind of made up handshake before he turns to look at you
now you know jake
everyone knows jake
you used to think he was the sweetest out of all their friend group
and he definitely lives up to that!!!
“hey y/n!” he gives u a smile
AWE hes so adorable
“hi” u reply
you were trying to speed up this conversation though so you could go eat lunch with your friend
“hows the project going?” he asks
“bad. sunghoon doesnt know how to do anything.” you deadpanned jokingly
sunghoon looks at you with an offended look that makes you wanna snort
“hey! you’re the one who doesn’t know how to add text to the slide!”
“what the hell sunghoon?! don’t tell him that, it’s embarrassing!” you give him a dirty look before walking out the classroom door with a smile on your face
days passed and you and sunghoon would only speak during that class but whenever you did it would be a mess
“sunghoon, y/n, quiet down! there is no reason for my classroom to be this loud!” your teacher scolds you two after sunghoon slapped his desk after you accidentally snorted
u two had such a weird relationship
u were almost strangers outside this one class but besties when u were in it
jake noticed too
one time he asked sunghoon during lunch why ur relationship was what it was
“i dont know.. thats just how we are” he answered
but jake kind of suspected sunghoon had a crush on u
*wiggles eyebrows*
it had only been a week but jake was determined to set u up together
“y/n you look cold, heres sunghoons jacket!”
“y/n sunghoon needs help with his homework, can you maybe do something about that..”
“sunghoon, y/n looks sad go give her a hug”
needless to say it worked!!!!
because a week after you presented your 2 weeks worth project
sunghoon asked u on a date
YUPPPPPP
let me recite how it went
u were walking out of class together because jake wasnt there that day
sunghoons bookbag was slung over one shoulder and u were stood next to him with both hands on ur straps
“hey.. do u wanna maybe go grab something to eat with me for dinner..? or something” he quickly asked
“what, like a date?” you joke
“uh.. yeah” he replied looking down at u
u stop in your tracks
WHA
No way
“wait what? seriously?” you look up at him with wide eyes
“yes u little munchkin” he pinches your cheeks exaggeratedly and pulls them to make your face sway everywhere
u swat them off so fast
“um.. okay” u answer and ur face heats up
you cant even look him in the eye
like u cant say u DIDNT see this coming but it was still a shock
“awe is y/n blushing” he teases
“go away stupid”
yeah he doesnt go away
ANYWAYS u are the cutest couple ever
everyone wants to be u two so bad!
couple goals literally
jake is so proud of himself honestly
whenever u get into a silly little argument his rebuttal is always
“remind me who got u the best boyfriend ever? thats right, me. dont try me y/n”
and ur like
“ooohhh jakey im so scareddd”
he cannot stand u
but Yeah sunghoon bestest bf ever
takes u on dates whenever u want to
makes u laugh very much
almost too much
and ur parents LOVE him
mhm sunghoon very awesome guy

Have any more headcanons for Robin, Mike, Robike(Them together), Miblo and Buttercup?
i’ll try to get a few of these down ><
Robin, Mike, and Robike gen headcannons:
Robin is deathly allergic to shell fish. she found this out okay her and mikes 2nd date, where he took her out for sushi, she got a tempura shrimp roll, and 10 minutes later had to be rolled out in an ambulance. never again. (don’t ask how she had never eaten it before)
in solidarity to her shell fish allergy, mike refuses to eat any kind of shell fish as well. call him a romantic.
mike is a HORRID singer. boy sounds like a car’s rev engine. it’s bad.
this fact does not stop him from tearing it up on karaoke night at the Utonium household
he is also a hopeless dancer. white boy dance moves for days. some of his favorites include: the lawmower, the sprinkler (basically any dance that’s named after backyard machinery), the running man, and worst of all, flossing
once again, this does not stop him from trying. “BABE!! BAE!! HUN!! LOVE!! LOOK AT ME GO!! COME OVER HERE LETS DANCE TOGETHER!!” *cue groaning and hiding behind Buttercup on Robins behalf as Buttercup laughs her ass off with Butch and records*
don’t get between Robin and her ice cream sandwiches. my girl turns into a banshee the second she spots one.
Mike cannot swallow pills. he has tried so, so hard, but year after year he ends up gagging and crushes them up to drink down with water. poor guy, don’t even bring advil liquigels into his line of vision
Mitch, Pablo, and Miblo gen headcannons:
when Mitch first saw Pablo walk into his 10th grade homeroom, he gay panicked, blue screened, mumbled at Buttercup “pretty… boy…” then zombie walked past her, the teacher, Pablo himself (who noticed and was immediately enamored with Mitch), out the room, past the vice principal, then trudged 4 miles home in a daze with Buttercup flying behind him shouting. he woke up an hour later with no recollection of any of this
Buttercup still makes fun of him to this day for the incident. she tells the story in her toast as best woman at the Miblo wedding
Pablo is a giant. he is a good 7 inches taller than Mitch (as stated in my height headcannons post). Mitch makes Pablo carry him around practically everywhere and Pablo ALWAYS hits his head when he walks into Mitch’s trailer. always. every single time. it doesn’t matter that he’s come over hundreds of times, or that he tells himself beforehand each time “Pablo, you will not, under any circumstances, hit your head on the door frame this time. Mitch will not make fun of you because it will not happen.” it still happens. it’s not preventable.
it doesn’t even matter that even people TALLER than Pablo (cough Boomer cough) can enter Mitch’s trailer without hitting their head. Pablo keeps a cool head most of the time, but he has broken and threatened the door many times in the past.
Mitch is a mini space heater and Pablo is the coldest man alive. many-a-cuddling sessions happen in winter (and though Pablo won’t admit it, fall too. and spring.)
Mitch is friends with basically everyone at their school, he’s very extroverted and good at making conversation with people, he tries making friends with at least one new person a day
so, so many people ask Pablo if he’s on the volleyball or basketball team. they are very, very wrong, my boy is the editor of the school paper and he could not be prouder of his position. FANTASTIC writer, and when you have an in with the schools very own superheroes, there’s nothing really stopping you from climbing your way to the top
Mitch was highkey terrified of Butch when Buttercup first introduced him, but now there is literally nothing that Butch could do to make Mitch feel intimidated. if Butch even tried, Mitch would be right on his ass making fun of him for it
gen Buttercup headcannons (tw: mentions of panic attacks):
still has a fear of spiders, but instead of screaming over them and flying away, she gets a very dark look in her eyes and will not hesitate to destroy the house in order to kill the vermin. her sisters and all of her friends have to constantly be aware of any 8 legged bugs around them so they can keep it out of BC’s sights, if only to preserve the land within a 5 mile radius around them
has been begging Prof.Utonium to let her get a lizard for the past 4 years. she had one for a week but her dad found it and immediately set it free
her ears are the most sensitive of the groups, they all have supersonic senses, but BC’s are especially heightened, possibly due to her lack of “special powers” (total fucking bullshit btw, fuck you ppg writers for treating BC like shit)
i think?? i’ve mentioned her ability to see in the future before here?? that’s because of the her senses. no one ask me about the science behind it, just go with it, okay? super eye sight= glimpses into the future
this ability has saved many of her teammates from colossal damage before, but (angst warning), because she’s had to see those images in her mind to be able to warn them about it, it’s left lasting trauma on her and has made her very protective of her friends and family. do not fuck with anyone that BC is close with, she will mess you up for it
one particular prediction she got showed Butch in a very… gruesome situation. i don’t want to go into detail, but it fucked her up for a bit, and there was about a week where Buttercup couldn’t/wouldn’t leave Butch’s side in fear of what could happen to him
she still sometimes gets flashes of that memory and it’s caused a couple panic attacks. when she found out, Blossom taught her some breathing exercises to help her through it if one comes on
THAT GOT SAD IM SO SORRY I FULLY INTENDED FOR THAT HEADCANNON TO JUST BE ABOUT BC HAVING A SPECIAL POWER AND IT DIVERGED INTO THAT
okay one SWEET headcannon for the road. Buttercup really values quality time with her loved ones, and though she doesn’t admit it often, everytime the team + the norms have their little hang out sessions, she sees it as a time for her to chill, and it’s those times that she feels her happiest and like she can genuinely be herself without judgement from classmates or the press
thank you for the ask!! i got a random burst of inspiration that i haven’t felt in a bit when this was sent in, i appreciate you for that :))

college bf!bin
a/n the duality of this man??? i’m deceased...anyway i did not think this would go this long but uh my hand slipped...happy birthday binnie!
word count: 5k
genre: fluff, smut, (tiny) angst _________________________________________________
ugh yo
bin is so??? infuriatingly hot??? yet cute at the same time
major: exercise science
and because I love mermaid prince/the beginning, he’s been on the swim team since first year college
swam varsity starting his second year
besties with eunwoo, they were roommates their whole college career
alright so bin loves making friends
he’s so playful and talkative once you really get to know him
but his aura?? tbh very intimidating
like he has an rbf and just like he’s so tall, broad shouldered, built, like he just carries himself very strongly that you will get intimidated when you first meet him
very well known in the university
literally has a professional photographed banner of him hanging in the athletic building with the gold medal he won freshman year
a little embarrassed about it
not really, only when the boys (as in literally the other five) tease him
myungjun: woOoOw bin that guy on the banner really looks like you, don’t you think?
rocky: we geeeeet it you’re a star athlete
blah blah blah you know the vibes, they’re endearing
so how do you meet bin?
basically you’re a friend of a friend—you’re eunbi’s (sinb) friend
you’ve only met bin briefly from time to time, but otherwise you never really had any reason to get acquainted with him
your only encounters of him are when he wants to annoy eunbi and she immediately puts him in his place
but then suddenly in the spring semester of your 2nd year, you and him are in the same 8 am
a boring statistics gen ed class that everyone needs to take in order to graduate
you were running a bit late during the first class meeting—you woke up 30 minutes after your alarm and literally rushed out of your apartment—you made it to class with 2 minutes to spare
most of the seats were filled up already, except that one seat in the back left corner by the window next to the one and only moon bin
oh would you look at that
you felt a bit relieved honestly, you didn’t know anyone else in that class so at least you saw a semi-familiar face
he grinned at you when you sat down
“hey y/n”
you were a bit taken back, “you know my name?”
he laughed a little, “yeah of course, you’re one of eunbi’s really good friends, why wouldn’t I know your name?”
before you could respond, the professor started class and ceased your conversation
one thing you realized as the weeks start to go on
you and bin could not give any two fucks about statistics
no offense to stats lovers
every 8 am on mon/wed/fri, neither one of you would pay attention in class
you both enabled each other to not pay attention basically
so when the professor announced the content and date for the first exam
you and bin literally looked at each other with the same expression
you were both fucked
after class was dismissed, instead of the two of you quickly packing your things and fleeing the room immediately, you both lagged a little bit
you: so...do you know anything that’s going to be on the exam?
bin: uh...no? y/n you’re literally right next to me, you know I don’t do jack shit in this class
you: well fuck, how are you gonna study then bin?
bin: I was probably gonna ask my roommate to help me, he passed with a 96 when he took this class
you give him the best puppy dog eyes you could muster up, you lean in and clasp your hands together like you’re praying
“can he help me too...? please?”
bin’s eyes go a lil wide bc you were a bit closer than he was used to and shit was his heart racing rn?
bin: uh...yeah...sure, i’ll text you to come over when we’re gonna study
you beam at him and like in your excitement you give him a hug
“thank you thank you thank you! i literally cannot fail this class. I’ll see you on friday bin!”
with that you grabbed your bag and just left, leaving bin shocked
he’s surprisingly a shy boy okay!
he always thought you were cute from when he first saw you hanging out with eunbi, but ofc he never thought any more of it
until you guys had this class together and he started to think every day, that wow you are really cute
bin texts you the next day
coincidentally, eunbi texts you too
bin: hey this is bin, if you’re free in an hour my roommate’s gonna help me go over the material in ch. 1
eunbi: why did bin ask for your number
you to bin: yes! send me your addy and i’ll be there :)
you to eunbi: we’re in the same stats class lol and we’re gonna study for our exam next week
eunbi: lol moon bin studying? you might wanna bring some wine with you for emergency y/n
you: lol what do you mean by that?
eunbi: binnie hates studying, but good luck!
ahh, eunbi becomes unhinged when it comes to bin
but you know it’s bc they’re that close, they’re literally childhood best friends, more so like siblings
still, studying w him couldn’t be that bad right?
spoiler alert, it went alright
you felt bad showing up to bin’s apartment empty handed so you picked up some coffee before you arrived
you officially meet bin’s roommate, eunwoo, and you’re floored for like 2 minutes bc literally how can a man like him be real?
cue bin being a bit jealous bc yeah he knew his roommate’s perfect but like damn did you have to be affected by him too :(
eunwoo’s a good teacher alright? you actually understood the material from him
you: idk what eunbi’s talking about, you’re actually not that bad at studying bin
bin being offended: oh god what did eunbi say about me
eunwoo smirking: maybe it’s because you’re here y/n, bin usually doesn’t focus this much when it’s just me trying to help him
you: ???
bin in his head: i can’t trust anyone huh 
before you left his place, you and bin planned to meet up and study one more time before your stats exam
it was just you and bin this time
although you’d never admit it, yes you tried to look good for meeting up with him
yeah he’s a friend?? at least you think you were at that level?? but still, he’s a cute friend and you really didn’t want him to see you looking crusty
you and bin end up studying for a whole 5 hours
granted, half of that time you two were messing around, eating food, trying to procrastinate for as long as you could
bc even though you two had a good handle on the material now—thanks to eunwoo—you both still hated statistics
you knew bin started to get more comfortable with you bc he started teasing you
it made you happy hehe so ofc you started to quip back at him
not at the intensity that he and eunbi do but it’s enough for you :)
he walks you back to your apartment after your study session
wow what a gentleman
bin waving bye at your door with the cutest smile: see you in class y/n :)
mayhaps your stomach did a little somersault
anyways
on the day of your exam you were freaking out
you have test anxiety ah ha ha
you woke up at 5 bc you were paranoid about being late to class
you’re like hastily looking over the notes again when you get to class like are you really prepared omg you’re psyching yourself out hella
bin comes in with 2 cups of iced coffee and he’s like woah are you okay
you: i woke up at 5 bin, idk if i can do this omg
you are like visibly in distress rn and he feels like a pang in his chest 
he was gonna mess with you and say like “bet im gonna get a higher grade than you” but he smartly decides against it
instead, he just takes your hand and gives it a little squeeze: y/n, take a deep breath. you’re going to do great, you studied your ass for this and we both know that you got this material down—even eunwoo hyung said you were gonna ace this exam. just trust your instincts, okay? breathe with me.
he was staring at you so intently and genuinely when trying to calm you down
your anxiety yeeted and suddenly you felt shy
you: th...thanks bin...
bin was worried about you while taking the test rip, he kept secretly glancing at you (while also trying not to make it look like he was cheating) just to make sure that you were okay
he walks you to your next class after you both finished your exam
bin: you sure you’re okay? you said you woke up at 5, did you even eat breakfast? let’s get food after your next class.
you were feeling better after the test but like you got so endeared at his fussing
yes you and bin got lunch that day
your exam results were uploaded the next day
you immediately called bin: I GOT A 95
bin: i told you that you would ace it! i got a 90 hehe
you: bin i literally owe you and eunwoo my life, lemme buy you guys food or something
you hear a little bit of bickering over the phone and suddenly you’re talking to eunwoo
eunwoo: i would love some sushi, but since bin can’t eat seafood, why don’t you come watch his swim meet this weekend :)
you: o...h...o-okay yeah i’d love to watch, what time is it? :)
eunwoo: it’s saturday at 10 am
you: okay! i’ll see you there bin
bin already planning on drop kicking eunwoo
cha eunwoo—best wingman™
you basically beg eunbi to go with you to bin’s swim meet
eunbi: i know bin can swim, why do i have to watch him flounder around under water
also eunbi: faster bin! don’t you fucking dare lose!
bin places first this meet
are we shocked? no
okay you mentally prepared yourself for seeing him shirtless, but clearly you didn’t prep enough bc you’re on the cusp of drooling when you’re watching him from the bleachers
and let’s face it, you’re not subtle and eunbi knows everything so she’s literally closing your jaw for you and like messing with you
eunbi: y/n, you’re really sure you like bin? he’s a good guy but c’mon, i think you deserve better
you: since when did i say that i like him ???? and what do you mean ??? i think he checks...all the boxes...for me...
eunbi: maybe it’s bc i’ve known him since when he used to wet his pants so i don’t understand why people are attracted to him, but like...really, you’ve been checking him out since he removed his shirt. even the ref can see that you’re simping over him
you and eunbi meet up with eunwoo and the rest of bin’s friends—that you haven’t met yet but know of
jinjin: oh so you’re the y/n that bin’s been talking about *wink wonk*
baby you’re blushing
even more so when bin comes up to your group
mmm middle parted wet hair, muscle tee and white sweats, towel around his shoulders
he’s so hot ???
you’re all congratulating him blah blah, but like bin keeps glancing at you and all you can do is just smile and like nervous laugh
sanha: y/n! eunbi noona! you should come eat with us to celebrate bin hyung’s win
eunbi glances at you, little smirk on her face: i have plans, but i know y/n’s free! bin you make sure they get home safe after y’alls dinner plans :)
hwang eunbi—best wingwoman™
dinner with the boys was chaotic, you were talking and joking around with them as if you didn’t just meet them today
*you about to get your wallet*
bin, not even able to look at you: it’s okay y/n, i got you this time
cue the boys teasing
astro: kings of making fun of each other
rocky as the group is splitting up: walk y/n home safely hyung :) don’t stay out too late
bin: sorry about them, they’re a bunch of loud idiots...ah haha...
the walk back to your apartment is actually pretty sweet
he didn’t know if you would actually come watch his meet or not but he was excited when he actually saw you
you talk about small random things about yourselves, but it’s not like useless information, you bet that both your subconsciouses are keeping track of whatever y’all are talking about
you give each other a “friendly” hug goodnight...that lasts like a minute or so
and while you’re hugging, bin just can’t help but think that wow you fit so perfectly in his arms
and on the other hand, you’re thinking he feels so warm? so safe? you don’t want to pull away?
but ofc the hug has to end and you’re thanking him for walking you home and he’s like glued to his spot waving goodbye sweetly and waiting for you to go inside so that he knows you’re safely in your apartment before leaving
bin sighing dreamily as he walks back to his and eunwoo’s place
eunwoo waiting on the couch with a glass of water: how was your date ;)
bin: it wasn’t a date, i just walked y/n home
eunwoo: yeah, but you want it to be a date
bin: ...shut up
god why is the pining stage so long
alright everyone knows you and bin like each other
it becomes pretty obvious after the swim meet
you and him fall into this little routine of switching who buys coffee for your 8 am
and then he’d walk you to your next class afterwards
you both still don’t pay attention in stats, sorry
but that means more outside study sessions dates
you come watch his swim meets, whether astro’s there or you’re just watching by yourself
and then you and him get lunch?? early dinner?? right afterwards, it depends on whenever his meet ends
but like??? neither of you have confessed your feelings for each other
even though you both have like a little hint that yeah the feelings are mutual
you and bin are literally like this for 3 months, like damn the semester is almost over
eunbi and eunwoo are tired of your shit, they’re both just like: when the fuck are they getting together? we’re sick of this.
alright so the masterminds literally pay one of eunwoo’s friends from his major to ask you out while you’re studying with bin
let’s do mingyu why not, he was in your korean history class last year
you and bin are in the library, half studying half goofing off per usual
eunwoo, eunbi, and mingyu are at the opposite side of the floor
mingyu: u sure bin won’t clock me for trying to ask out y/n
eunwoo: probably not??
eunbi: just do it please
mingyu giving them both the finger before walking up to your table
“hey y/n...i was wondering if you’d like to get dinner with me...as a date?”
you: o_o huh?
mingyu: i always thought you were cute from when we had class together last year, but i never had the balls to ask you out or anything...you’re not dating anyone, right?
you glance at bin to find that he’s already looking at you with an expression that you don’t really know how to read
you: um...well no I’m not-
bin: actually, we’re dating so y/n can’t go out with you mingyu, sorry.
mingyu’s not even phased, he just gives you a thumbs up and then leaves
you’re confused like literally what is going on—and then you process what bin said and you whip your head to look at him
bin: sorry i said that...i just felt...jealous i guess when mingyu asked you out
you: I wouldn’t have said yes anyway...I sorta like someone else
bin: fuck it, the topic already came up...y/n I’ve liked you for a while now but uh...I don’t know I guess I was scared to tell you because I’m scared of rejection
you just laugh, but not mockingly! more like bin you’re so cute wtf
“bin, why would I reject you when I’ve literally been into you for the past four months?”
it’s safe to say that you and bin officially began dating after that
eunwoo texting in their gc: bin and y/n are finally together
myungjun: fucking finally
bin: how...did u know that eunwoo...?
*eunwoo has left the chat*
alright but bin’s charm?? flirting?? teasing?? sweetness?? up 1000%
bin is touchy y’all, in private his hands are always on you, whether it be sexual or not sexual is up to you
he restrains himself in public ofc, the most he does is put a hand on your waist or hold your hand
eunbi threatens bin early on in your relationship: bin you’re like my brother, but y/n’s one of my dearest friends and if you as much make them cry i will kill you
ofc bin is still eunbi’s punching bag, but when you three are hanging out, he’s dramatic and acts like he’s hurt so he’s like whining to you
sometimes you play along and coo at him like: aww binnie, where does it hurt baby?
other times you’re like: you really think i believe that?? with the size of your biceps??
eunbi: excuse me while i vomit
okay but binnie? bestest sweetest boy
yes he looks all big and intimidating
but he’s soft—especially for you
your nicknames for each other are either “bub” or “baby”
yes will join in making fun of you with the boys, but when you start pouting he’s a goner and will defend you
bin is also a big cuddler, but i mean you’re not complaining hehe
he’s the big spoon, no questions asked
okay but being in bin’s arms is like your favorite place in the world
his frame literally just envelopes you and all you can feel and smell is him and it’s so??? content, you feel at home with him
you feel bad in the morning bc like his arm has to be sore from your weight so you try to like get out of his grasp, but he literally just whines and hugs you tighter
okay but just imagine you and bin napping and his arms are around your waist, his nose is buried in your neck and he wakes up like nuzzling his face in your shoulder like a puppy
im soft
one week you’re staying over at bin’s apartment and then the next week he’s staying over at yours, the cycle goes like that
if you’re one of my ladies with a ~vagíne~, he will buy all your cravings and your tampons/pads, literally anything you want that week, it is yours
doesn’t really get jealous now that you two are official, he knows that you’re his and he’s yours
you two lightly bicker like friends, but you’ve never had a terrible fight before
you were really close to though—or...like you did?? but it was resolved really quick
one of the only problems of bin is that he hates showing weakness and it takes him a whole lot to truly fully 100% be vulnerable with someone even if it’s someone close to him
he pulled a muscle in his arm and it cost him one of his swim meets
he had to go to rehab for like a month and you knew that mentally he’s been off bc of it
you try to ease talking him into telling you about how he’s really feeling but he just kept dodging the subject
one night after one of his rehab sessions, he came back to your place and you’re just like
“hey bubbie, how was rehab? how are you doing?”
and he just snaps at you: stop asking me how I am, y/n, it’s getting really annoying
you’re taken aback, like what the fuck where did that come from?
your eyebrows furrow and you cross your arms bc you are not going to get spoken to like that
“so me worrying about you and wondering how your recovery’s going is annoying? that’s what a partner is supposed to do, moon bin. what’s going on with you?”
bin: you’re being suffocating! it’s the only thing you ask me about nowadays, sometimes I—
oh boy you got mad
you: I ask you because I know you’re not telling me things! I know you’re suffering by yourself and I want to let you know that I’m here for you, I want to help take some of the pain away or at least help you deal with it because I’m your partner! but how can I if you can’t even let me in?? we’re fucking dating moon bin, we’re supposed to go through rough times together. and you call me suffocating...? 
bin’s silent and he’s looking at the floor
you sigh, tears are building in your eyes because you’re frustrated and a bit hurt by what he said, and your voice cracks when you speak again: if i’m suffocating you, then you should leave. text me or something when you can breathe again, I don’t know.
there’s a bit of spite in your words, hidden by the pain
bin sees the tears rolling down your cheeks and that’s when he knows he fucked up
he’s never seen you cry before—besides like from a sad movie or something
so like the fact that he made you cry and hurt you with his words? damn he hates himself rn
he immediately wraps his arms around you, and you like try to push him to get away bc why is he hugging you? didn’t he just say that you were suffocating? why is he confusing
bin: baby, I’m sorry...I shouldn’t have taken out my frustrations on you, you’re not suffocating me I promise...you’re right about everything, I should be sharing things with you and telling you how I’m really feeling...I’m sorry.
you don’t say anything and just like sniffle and he picks you up and brings you to your bedroom and then he just lets it all out
he tells you how rehab is hard and like yeah his muscle pain is going away, but he doesn’t know if he can swim as fast as he used to and that scares him
and he tells you that sometimes he’s thought of giving up swimming since his injury, but then he thinks of you and that’s how he’s still going through with rehab
you’re his motivator and comfort but he doesn’t want to show you his weak side bc he hates that part of himself
and at this point, bin starts tearing up and you’re like stroking his hair to try and comfort him
bin: I’m not good at telling my feelings baby...probably why I didn’t tell you I liked you until 4 months later...but I promise I’ll work harder and at least try and tell them to you.
ugh pain
anyway your communication with serious things got better after that encounter
eunbi finding out that you and bin argued and he made you cry and she literally punched his stomach
you: omg eunbi stop
bin: it’s okay...I sorta deserved that
eunbi: why...are you not swearing at me? shit, bin are you okay?
he nods to the girl and just puts an arm around your shoulder: we talked things through, don’t worry. I’m all good now, but I did deserve that punch because I hurt y/n when I promised you I wouldn’t
bin ends up having a full recovery and bam his first swim meet after he got the clear from the PT, he gets first place again
all the boys and you and eunbi were there supporting him
bin was hella nervous before the meet started, but you gave him a little good luck kiss and was like: I believe in you bub, no matter the result, as long as you give it your all and don’t hurt yourself again, you’ll be the winner to me :)
this was actually when the first “i love you” was said
after your little pep talk in the locker room, bin’s just hugging you and holding you for comfort
and he just went out with it
“I love you y/n”
you blush hella hard bc you were not expecting that
obviously you’ve been feeling it like yeah your feelings for bin have grown into love for a while now
you just bury your face in his chest and hug him tighter
“I love you too binnie, now go get em bub.”
he smiles and kisses you and tells you that he’ll see you after the meet is over
you come back to the crowd where the boys and eunbi are and you just have a huge smile on your face, you’re literally glowing
myungjun: please tell me you guys didn’t fuck before his swim meet
speaking of fucking
okay let’s get down and dirty ladies and gents wink wonk mmm grr bark bark
bin is so sexy y’all like i dont need to tell you that
he’s 100% a tease
you have a little muscle kink hehe
which bin very much uses to his advantage
if bin is wearing a sleeveless shirt, you bet he wants to smash that day
will walk around shirtless after a shower or after a workout just to turn you on and then depending on his mood, he might tease you for like an hour or you’ll just get right to it
he’s very proud of his body and the work he put into it and knowing that you get turned on from one look of it?? gives him an ego boost, he loves it
one time at a party, he wore a crop top (mm hello bad idea bin) and you literally went feral
you dragged him inside the nearest bathroom and just started making out
he’s an ass guy
...all of astro are ass guys, it’s just obvious with how much they slap each other’s asses and poke each other’s assholes
okay you know how he’s touchy right? i mentioned that earlier
he always wants you on his lap
even if there’s a space available, nope your seat is his thighs
ofc when the situation allows, like you’re not gonna sit on his lap in class duh
most of the time in public like if you’re hanging out with the boys or something, it’s innocent
but if he wants to be a tease, he’ll literally just tighten his grip on your hips and grind you down onto his cock
subtle, he won’t straight up thrust into you
just enough to get his dick stirring and make you feel the outline of it through your pants
and then he just stops and hugs your waist again?? wtf
his major’s exercise science right? will ask if he can practice on you for anatomy and physiology, but you know after touching you in a couple places, y’all will just end up fucking
likes to bite and mark
very proud seeing the hickeys he leaves on you
you can bite, but you can’t bruise, idk his upper body is exposed a lot bc swimming so you can’t really leave any marks on him unless it’s the off season
foreplay’s cool, but he prefers the main event, he just wants to be in you
as much as he loves doggy, his fav position is the hook
(it’s when your legs are on his shoulders ohoho and it just lets him fuck you in a deeper angle mmm)
also in the hook, he can choke you
if i have a choking kink, you have a choking kink
okay little tangent, choking is so hot?
like just imagine you and bin are making out, he pushed you against the wall, literally grinding his hips into you, and his hand just comes up and squeezes your throat? that’s so sexy
likes butt stuff oops
i don’t make the rules, he just does
daddy kink, but no power play
will not degrade you (even if you really just want him to call you his dirty slut) bc he really values seeing you as equals
seeing your face when you cum is a must
almost always: you cumming → bin cumming
nothing gets him off more than knowing that he’s making you feel good
after !! care !!
sweetest boy!!
will clean you up with a warm towel after sex
and if you’re one of my ladies, he will always remind you to pee so that you don’t get a UTI
if y’all had a marathon or something, he will draw a bath and carry you to the bathroom and you will bathe together, so soft
always ends sex with an i love you :’)
okay let’s get back to the soft stuff
special thing about swimmer bin: pool dates
sometimes when he’s practicing and it’s just him, he asks you to come to the aquatic center and you two end up splashing around and being cute together
he like knew that you were the one for him some time during senior year
it was the holidays and his parents invited you to spend christmas with their family since your parents were out of the country this break
his parents and sister liked you immediately—which you were so scared about, but bin just knew
you woke up early christmas eve (and bin was out like a rock) so you just went downstairs to brew some coffee or something and you saw that his mom was already starting on making food
naturally, you offered your help and she was like no, you’re a guest y/n, but obviously you started helping
bin comes downstairs like an hour or two later to see you, his mom, and his dad just cooking and listening to christmas music and talking and his heart just like swells??
you: morning binnie :)
his mom: how can you be sleeping when y/n’s here helping us with christmas dinner
his dad: what kind of boyfriend are you, son?
just kidding all jokes
but that’s the moment when he knew
best boyfriend bin ugh
he becomes a legend in the school for swimming
but doesn’t continue after college, he’s all about becoming a physical trainer after graduation
he goes to grad school, while you’re out working in business
bin moves in with you after graduating, it was the obvious next step
you do talk about the future together, but obviously bin’s still in school and you’re both fresh from undergrad so there’s no rush yet to tie the knot
doesn’t stop his or your parents from talking to you two about marriage tho oops
ugh but the domesticity after bin moves in with you? superb
like yeah obviously you both basically lived together anyway when he still roomed with eunwoo just from how much you and him spent at each other’s places
but like your apartment is now both of your place and it’s like your home is finally complete
your apartment becomes the reunion place for the boys and eunbi
at this point everyone knew you and bin were gonna get married eventually
eunwoo and eunbi: we did that ;)
and that’s how you and your college bf!bin live happily ever after uwu
happy birthday binnie moonbob ♥

Hey! I just read your posts: they're glorious. I desperately needed GojoHime content haha I wanted to ask some questions that I think you would know how to answer. Sorry if it's a bother! First of all, Utahime studied in Tokyo? And Mei Mei was her classmate? I assumed that Utahime is three years older than Gojo because in chapter 65 Utahime is introduced as a sorceress and not as a student. I also read that there are four courses at Tokyo's school, so I thought that she would already be graduate
hi! thank you so much for messaging me :) i'll happily answer any questions you have!
Utahime studied in Tokyo? And Mei Mei was her classmate?
I don't think it was ever revealed which school Utahime and Mei went to. I'm assuming Utahime went to Kyoto because she's a teacher at Kyoto right now. As for Mei, she seems like a Tokyo person.
Why?
I think Utahime's attitude matches the stereotype of a typical person from Kyoto. I know they're known as sophisticated and pretentious (no getting mad at me, this is what it said online!) but besides the pretentious part, it fits Utahime well. She's always screaming at Gojo because he doesn't use polite language when addressing his seniors. Assuming she grew up in Kyoto, his informal language probably throws her off since being tactful is something that was greatly emphasized to her growing up.
For Mei...IDK...she just seems very Tokyo-y to me LOL
UGGHHHH it'd be so cute if they all attended Tokyo together!!!
I think they were together because Utahime had to be accompanied by a Grade 1 sorcerer on missions. Can you recall the whole Grade 1 promotion process? First, a Grade 1 sorcerer has to recommend you for promotion, and then you must be accompanied by another Grade 1 sorcerer, who cannot be the sorcerer that recommended you (to avoid bias), to gauge if your abilities suit what they are looking for in a Grade 1 sorcerer. If the promotion candidate completes the missions to the Grade 1 sorcerer's satisfaction, they are then given a solo mission to exorcise a Grade 1 spirit. So Mei and Utahime being together on a mission doesn't really allude to them attending the same school.
Remember, I'm just making speculations D: My thoughts are not the truth. I have to be delusional because Akutami is not giving us any Utahime crumbs...
I assumed that Utahime is three years older than Gojo because in chapter 65 Utahime is introduced as a sorceress and not as a student. I also read that there are four courses at Tokyo's school, so I thought that she would already be a graduate.
Utahime is 2 years older than Gojo :3 I did the math and everything. Gojo's birthday is December 7, 1989. The story takes place in 2018. Since the Shibuya shenanigans already happened (October 31st, 2018) we can assume that it's November in the manga. This means that Gojo has not celebrated his 29th birthday. Utahime, on the other hand, is confirmed to be 31 years old. Her birthday is February 18. How do we know she's two years older than Gojo and not 3? Well, her birthday has already passed at this point, hasn't it? She turned 31 in 2018 while Gojo has yet to reach 29 because it's not December yet. From this information, we can conclude that Utahime's full birthday is February 18, 1987.
Tumblr media
*Though Jujutsu High is a four-year school, the Goodwill Event is open to only third-years and below.
I checked the official Viz Media translation and this message was also there. This confirms that Jujutsu High is a 4 year school. Since Utahime is only 2 years older than Gojo, when he was a 2nd year, she was a 4th year. I don't really know why she wasn't introduced as a 4th year student. Perhaps it's to emphasize that the mission Utahime and Mei were on was for Utahime's promotion? Or 4th-year students aren't really considered students but soon-to-be fully pledged sorcerers.

i have no self control GHHJFHFDS
trigger warnings: bullying (sorta? it’s mostly implied. logan’s also hiding it, not well tho lmao) i think that’s it. please tell me if i need to add anything!!
this is one part of the prologue so it’s not even the full prologue so keep that in mind lol
The boy clutched the straps of his backpack, looking down at his shoes. He didn’t look up until he heard a voice calling his name.
“-gan! Logan! Bud, over here!”
Logan looked up, a smile slowly spreading over his face as he saw his mother. He started speed-walking towards her. 
“Bye, Logan! Have a great day!” he heard his 2nd grade teacher call out behind him.
“Bye, Mr. Keller. You too,” he said absently, already half-running towards his mom. 
His mom crouched down to his height, engulfing him in a hug. “Hey, bud. How was your day?” she held him out at arms length to look at him. 
“It was, um, really good!” he grinned widely, showing off his chipped tooth. Emillia’s expression instantly transformed into a concerned one.
“How did you get it? Are you okay? Are you hurt?” she held his jaw gently and moved his head from side to side, inspecting the chipped tooth.
“I’m fine. It doesn’t-doesn’t, um, hurt,” Logan stuttered slightly, looking back down at his shoes.
“How’d you get it?” she repeated, a worried look in her eyes. Logan stayed silent for a moment before answering.
“I was just--I was like drinking from the water fountain. Cause-cause I was thirsty and then I, uh, I don’t know what really happened. I was just drinking and then suddenly I hit my mouth against the...the um…” Logan struggled to find the word that he was looking for, “The thing that you drink out of,” the 7 year old looked up at his mom, the latter nodded, motioning for him to continue. 
“And I look down and I see that part of my--my tooth is just lying there and I-I kinda freaked out a bit,” Logan chewed his lip, rubbing his arm.
“And I’m guessing you told a teacher?” his mother asked gently. Logan nodded furiously, so much that Emillia was worried his head would fall off. 
“Okay, then. I’m proud of you for doing that, alright bud?” she smiled, brushing a lock of blonde hair out of his eyes. “How about we go get some lunch to make up for this bad day, yeah?”
“It wasn’t bad,” Logan protested, “It was just...not...good…” he trailed off.
“Lo, buddy. Not good means bad. And you’ve had a bad day. And you know what? That’s okay. We all have bad days and they’re just a part of life. Now how about some lunch, huh?” Emillia grinned.
this is the lamp soulmate au btw because i cannot control myself gngjfnfs

Jamil Viper - I’m just talking to myself 1&2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can unlock this story by getting Jamil’s SR Lab coat
Translation under the cut
Interior Hallway
Riddle: It must have been the temperature... mutter...maybe it was the amount...
Jamil: Oh. I thought you’d bump in to me. It’s dangerous to walk while only looking downward.
Riddle: Ah, my apologies, I was thinking about something... ah it’s you, Jamil.
Azul: Oho, I thought you were walking in a strange way, Riddle.
Riddle: ...And Azul as well. Are you guys together?
Azul: Yes. We are classmates that get along well.
Jamil: Is what he says. I was on my way to the laboratory when he butted in by chance.
Riddle: The laboratory you say... Can it be that class C has magical pharmaceuticals class now?
Jamil: Yeah. We will change with your class.
Riddle: I see... Then I shall warn you in advance. Watch out during today’s experiment.
Jamil: Warn us? Now that you say it, today’s experiment...
Riddle: We had to create a magical potion that can cure a burn in an instant. But no one of our class managed to.
Jamil: No one, including you?
Riddle: ...Yes.
Azul: Oh. Our Jade is also in class 2E, was he not able to make it either?
Riddle: He said he was “Stumped” while smiling like he enjoyed it.
Jamil: I can imagine it...
Tumblr media
Riddle: The medicine is made of three ingredients, namely medicinal herbs and fine powder of ores. Furthermore, the magical stones should be soaked in water and the oil extracted from the liver of a legendary beast. When I saw the recipe, I thought it was in the bag. However... no matter how much you stirred, the ingredients did not mix. They quickly seperated again.
Jamil: That is...
Riddle: Hm?
Jamil: No, it’s nothing. I just thought that sounds troublesome.
Riddle: Indeed. We tried cooling it, heating it, and all kinds of other methods but it was useless. And then we ran out of time.
Jamil: Thanks. In any case... How awfully kind of you to tell us about an experiment that you couldn’t do yourself.
Azul: Yes. I noticed it myself as well.
Riddle: ...You seem extremely doubtful. It’s not like I have any good intentions or so. Crewel told us that the abilities of the 2nd years this year are scarce. I think that was a terrible remark... It may be true that we failed today but I will not forget that insult!
Jamil: You don’t have to be that upset. You might’ve just gotten bad luck. You’re always first in our grade. Maybe you failed because of something really trivial...
Riddle: You do not have to console me with your cheap words. Next time I’ll show him my real power and outwit him. You should do your best as well. I’ll see you later.
Jamil: ...Riddle is really serious... We should go to the laboratory as well, our break is almost over. There’s no time to make a counterplan. Even that Riddle was struggling. Today’s experiment seems like it’ll be difficult.
Tumblr media
Azul: Well, Riddle is by nature better at written tests than practical examinations...Since you’re so skillfull, we might be able to bring today’s experiment to a succes?
Jamil: Huh? Why are you suddenly... I can’t do such difficult things.
Azul: Hehehe, you’re so modest. I am always impressed by your work. Let’s see if the vice dorm leader of Scarabia can live up to his name.
Jamil: ...
Azul: If you look at your grades, there are no visible gaps in your classroom lectures, practical skills and physical training. Even I have a weak point when it comes to flying... For you to not even have such an instability is frankly amazing. It is like you can tailor yourself to suit your needs.
Jamil: You’re overestimating me. In my case, I’m a jack of all trades and master of none.
Azul: ... I look forward to how you will handle this. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike people with many secrets. They’re much more reliable than people who are honest to a fault and blab out everything.
Jamil: Thanks I guess. In any case stop standing there and move on already. We’ll really be late.
Azul: Of course, let’s go.
Jamil: ... That Azul is really sensitive to the secrets of others huh. I want to avoid standing out. I can’t be satisfied with this. I cannot be too good, nor fall behind, and neither should I get satisfactory grades or fail. This is the best shortcut to succes.
Chapter 2
Laboratory
Tumblr media
Crewel: Magical pharmaceuticals is much like fashion. If you have too much or too less of the necessary ingredients, you will not be able to make a beautiful mixture... if you cannot complete this experiment, it’s no different from your clothes being out of fashion.
Ignihyde student: To go as far as to talk about our clothes...
Crewel: You’re talking back at me...This puppy seems full of rebellion. Do I need to discipline you? Good grief, to think that class C is the same as class E is disappointing. This year’s second years are just generally a bad breed!
Jamil: It seems like Crewel won’t go on easy on us today... Azul, how is it working?
Azul: Well...It’s just like Riddle said, mixing the ingredients at the last step goes pretty terrible. No matter how much I stir it seperates again.
Jamil: Hm...that’s too bad, I guess we’ll have to surrender to Crewel.
Azul: ...
Jamil: What’s up with that creepy grin. Is there something on my face? 
Azul: Jamil, you have done nothing since watching me mix...
Jamil: Huh? Ah yeah, we’re a pair, sorry for not lifting a finger. But you are the one who paired up with me...
Azul: Hehe. That you can tell a lie so calmly.
Jamil: I lied? You must be hardhearing. What kind of basis do you have for that assumption...
Azul: Did I not tell you. I can tell by a glance. I’m always eager to see you...to see your hidden talents.
Jamil: Always...that doesn’t sound very good.
Tumblr media
Azul: Hehe, carelesness is the greatest enemy. What did you say when we talked to Riddle during our break?
Jamil: ...
Azul: You know the solution don’t you? Why don’t you tell your partner.
Jamil: I don’t remember us ever becoming partners? It seems you really want to succeed in this class.
Azul: Of course. Are there any students who do not want to be appreciated by their teacher? And if we can make a potion that even Riddle couldn’t... Everyone will admire your true skills!
Jamil: I don’t want that though...
Azul: Hm?
Jamil: Nothing. Let’s assume I knew the solution. Then I still don’t intend to show off my skills. But I wouldn’t feel like telling you the answer and letting you have the credit. I’d rather have that Crewel made us all out to be idiots.
Azul: How wasteful... If you have the skills, why do you hate appealing that much?
Jamil: I want to avoid getting involved with trouble if I stand out in a bad way.
Azul: Oho. If you want to avoid trouble that much, then I think it should be even better for you to cooperate with me. If you ease a bit up during class then I’ll shut up.
Jamil: Am I mishearing something. I heard “cooperation” but... don’t you simply mean “threathening”.
Crewel: Are there any obedient students around here that completed the assignment?
Azul: Hey look, Jamil. What are you going to do?
Jamil: ...Sigh. Now that you say it, there’s a phenomenon called emulsification in cooking.
Azul: I see.
Tumblr media
Jamil: I’m just talking to myself so don’t pay attention...Emulsification is really easy. It’s a way to mix things together that cannot be mixed well by nature. A familiar example would be mayonnaise. The main components of mayonnaise are vinegar and cooking oil. In other words, they managed to mix water and oil. The ingredients this time are herbs, ore and...
Azul: Water and oil. ...I see, so there was such a common phenomenon. 
Jamil: When Riddle said that the ingredients wouldn’t mix, I thought about that immediately. It didn’t emulsificate. It’s a common error made by amateurs at cooking. Most of the time, the mistake is by getting the order of the mixing and the timing wrong.
Azul: So it’s the order. Our teacher just said to mix all the ingredients.
Jamil: Wasn’t Crewel being purposefully vague to challenge us? We shouldn’t mix the water in the oil but the oil in the water. And you shouldn’t just mix all of it at once. You should pour the oil in bit by bit while you continue stirring.
Azul: I see. I don’t touch products with a lot of oil so I wouldn’t know. 
Jamil: Cooking is my forte. ...See we fixed our experiment. Don’t you think a wonderful “Idea” gushed forth from me talking to myself? Now we are in time to fix our experiment.
Azul: Amazing, it really worked...
Jamil: Aren’t you glad.
Azul: Of course, Jamil!
Jamil: You’re too loud! It was just by chance!
Azul: Of course it was by chance.
Jamil: Yes. While I was talking to myself I coughed by chance, and when you heard that you suddenly came up with a method to mix it. That’s all.
Azul: You’re so stubborn... I keep getting more interested in you with the day. Are you not interested in doing some nice business with me in the future?
Jamil: Don’t try. I’m absolutely not interested.

This legitimately does not have a point, it is simply a rant (remember, this is all about America, and I am in no way saying any of it with other countries in mind)
You know, I may not actually be doing anything with my life right now but my plan is to be an elementary teacher. Did I choose that age group because I think I'm too short to be respected by older students? Yes, shut up. Buuuuut, did I also choose that age because 2nd graders don't do standardized tests? Hell yes.
Since this is my plan, and I have spent an undisclosed number of years in college taking classes meant for this career path, and I have also officially worked in two schools, and observed classes in others, I have not only a shit ton of knowledge about how schools work, I also have a shit ton of experience. strangely enough, it was in fact real experience and I have been taught by a couple dozen trained professionals who *le gasp* know what they're doing.
I do not know half as much as I should about teaching, but I have gone out of my way to learn how the system itself works from people on as many levels of it as I could. The end result is that I am suitably confident in my knowledge, and extremely pissed about some of the stuff that I know, like how outdated some of the core principles are, and how fucking stupid it is that schools are funded through property taxes. And kids go to schools based on districts. Which are based on the properties they live on.
I had one friend, a teacher, who was asked what side of the house her daughter's bedroom was on because the house was right between two districts. I know the whole thing is kinda completely shit.
Since I have so many strong feelings about schools, how the system works, how children are taught, and what children are taught, I take it as a near personal offense when people are insanely wrong about how it works. I get downright livid when they know what I'm going to school for, and decide that because of all three articles they read, they know more than me, actually. One such person, is Sloth, my older brother.
Sloth is of the opinion that all teachers have to do if they really want to earn more money is ask the school board for more money. Looking back, I can almost forgive him because we did go to a private school, but even then, he fucking knew that getting anything out of that board was like trying to dig jewels out of a dam wall. Sloth also believes that some sex education in many schools nowadays includes porn comics of some sort. He has not clarified what, exactly, he means by this. Sloth, in his infinite wisdom, truly believes that public school systems are useless because we had well-educated people before we had public schools, so we don't need them.
This is the point that I cannot forgive. Do not misunderstand, I despise many aspects of various school systems, and many more about how they are set up in general. Standardized tests disgust me on multiple levels, grading scales are horrendous, homework is more often than not useless busy work that the teacher needs the students to do just so they look like they're teaching, and I'm not even going into my deeply seated disdain for the emphasis on sports* and the....everything at college level. (*don't hate me, sports are fine, but you shouldn't need them to go to college, and honestly, mass amounts of injuries should not be the focus of your highschool life)
But before public school, who got an education?
Rich people. Who were mostly male, and overwhelmingly white. I greatly look forward to teaching. Despite my hatred for aspects of school systems, I know administrators, principals, teachers, and professors who I respect and admire. The idea of a public is actually really amazing. I want everyone to have a safe environment to learn in, to have an equal opportunity to gain knowledge. I want the next generation and the one after that to have a base knowledge to work off of. I want well-educated, and well-rounded people. Maybe the schools we have don't always do that, but a public school system is a great way to do that.
Again, this doesn't really have a point, don't know why you finished reading, but this are some disorganized thoughts that are bouncing around in my head. I think I got most of them out, hope you have a nice day!

Valentine’s Day Arc (Retold)
Part 1: July 1st, 2021. 8:25 am.
Nonaka Homugi was walking up to the gates of Kimetsu Academy, her hand running through her long, blonde hair. The heat made her regret walking to school that day. She lived close to the academy, but it was still a bit much to walk when the temperature was so high! Nonaka walked through the gates with a group of students, looking around for her best friend. As she walked into the school, people seemed to still be talking about Valentine’s Day and White Day. Nonaka sighed, not really enjoying the romantic holidays this year. She didn’t give out any chocolates to any boys on Valentine’s Day. She just wasn’t really interested in anyone in her grade. She had received some chocolates on White Day, but she didn’t want to accept them. None of the guys were really her type or really jumped out at her. Nonaka straightened out her cardigan as she approached her locker, ready to start another day.
Nonaka got the things she needed for her classes and went up the stairs towards her homeroom. Class 2-A, being a 2nd year. Rengoku was standing next to the door, loudly welcoming students that walked by! Some of the female students giggled and blushed as they stopped to talk with him. Nonaka walked past and into the room, heading for her desk. She sat in the back corner near the window, showing a view of the front gate. On the desk in front of hers, was a little gift box with a little note on top of it. Another love letter and gift for Eiko Morioka. Nonaka looked around and noticed a tall boy in the front row that kept looking back at Eiko’s desk. One of many admirers for sure.
As if on cue, Eiko entered the classroom. She was wearing her usual uniform with her red jacket tied around her waist. Her fluffy brown hair with pink tips was bouncing as she walked in. Eiko was also curvy, but took care of her weight. Her cute looks were VERY popular with the boys which made almost every moment with Eiko feel like White Day. She saw Nonaka, smiling wide as she walked over to her desk. “Nonaka! Good morning!” Eiko said melodically. Nonaka smiled back at her friend, “Good morning, Eiko. It looks like you have a little something on your desk” Nonaka’s tone was teasing as Eiko sat down and read the note that was covered in heart stickers. Nonaka knew how this would turn out when she saw Eiko read the note and not become completely flustered. Eiko loved all types of romance and had the idea of meeting her soulmate in her mind. Nonaka knew that she wanted a handsome and noble prince to sweep her off her feet! Whenever Eiko talked about it, she’d blush hard and would almost stop functioning. She wouldn’t accept anything less, it was her dream after all!
Before the guy could get up and walk over to Eiko, Rengoku entered the classroom to begin homeroom attendance and announcements. Nonaka almost felt bad for him, knowing what would happen when he would approach Eiko. She couldn’t bash her friend for knowing what she wanted though, if only Nonaka could figure it out herself.
~~~~~
12:00 pm.
It was finally lunch time! Nonaka stretched her arms, feeling groggy after listening to lecture after lecture. Eiko got her bento box from her beige tote bag and began to eat. Nonaka did the same, grabbing her lunch from her pink bag. As the two of them talked about tests coming up, the tall boy walked back to them. He was looking down, not looking Eiko in the eyes and was soft spoken. The guy was rubbing his hands together in a nervous way. “E-Eiko...Um you read my note right? What do you think?” he asked. Eiko’s face was neutral as she grabbed the gift and note and held them up to him. “I’m afraid I cannot accept. Thank you, but I need to focus on my schooling” The boy shakily grabbed his note and unopened gift and walked back to his desk, defeated. Eiko keeping her reputation of rejecting every boy who confessed to her.
Eiko sighed, but turned back to Nonaka, “Boys…” Nonaka gave her a soft smile, “Hey, maybe you should give some of these guys a chance. I mean they really like you and you could go on some free dates!” Eiko blushed lightly, but shook her head, “You know I need to find my prince charming! A guy who looks me in the eyes and speaks clearly and follows me into the unknown and will protect me!” Eiko blushed hard at the thought and covered her face! “You’re such a hopeless romantic! I wish I had your dreamy attitude” Nonaka answered with a giggle. The two girls giggled and finished up their lunches.
~~~~~
12:45 pm.
A tone played through the speaker system, letting everyone know it was break time. Eiko and Nonaka went separate ways, Nonaka walking down to go to the school garden. She was the president of the gardening club and spent almost all her time there. As she approached the main steps, she heard two guys talking at the bottom of the stairs. A first year and second year, she recognized the second year to be the moral compass officer who was at the front gate almost every morning. Was his name Zenitsu? Oh, and the first year was named Tanjiro! He always wore strange earrings! His sister, Nezuko, had her own spot in the school garden and he’d come by to get her occasionally.
“Are you listening, Zenitsu? Let’s go apologize to Mr. Rengoku” Tanjiro asked in a worried tone. Zenitsu looked very down with a dark aura around him. “SHUT UP! HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL DOING ALL THIS?!” Zenitsu screamed, wildly, almost making Nonaka drop her bag! She huffed, not having time for this and went for a separate set of stairs at the end of the hall. Still hearing Zenitsu’s screams as she walked away. What a weirdo…
~~~~~
12:50 pm.
Nonaka finally made it to the gardens in the back of the school. Nonaka loved it there, it was probably the calmest part of the school. No one else seemed to be there at the moment, so Nonaka rolled up her sleeves and got to work. Filling her watering can with water from a hose nearby and watering her hydrangeas, irises, and her rose bushes. Nonaka’s rose bushes were her pride and joy! She had pink roses, red roses, and white roses! She hummed softly, as she gave her thirsty plants plenty of water. Nonaka stopped for a moment then heard some loud thumping that seemed to be coming closer.
Nonaka looked up at the entrance gate to the garden and saw something slightly scary. There was a shirtless boy standing there, trying to catch his breath. That alone wouldn’t be too bad, but on top of his head was a boar mask! It looked realistic with tusks and intense blue eyes! Nonaka yelped, “W-Who are you?!” The guy perked up when he saw her and ran up to her, holding her hands in his! “Senpai! Hide me!” the guy screamed! Nonaka stood there, blushing slightly as he squeezed her hands. Nonaka couldn’t say that he didn’t look attractive, at least what she could see of him. This guy seemed to be in his first year. He also had this chaotic energy surrounding him. Nonaka’s heart was beating fast just from being close to him.
Nonaka opened her mouth to ask questions, but the two of them heard loud running getting closer. The guy let go, panicking and jumped into one of the large rose bushes! Nonaka’s eyes widened, mouth agape! H-He jumped into a ROSE BUSH! THAT HAD TO HURT! Quickly looking back at the entrance to the garden, Nonaka saw their math teacher Mr. Shinazugawa. He was out of breath and put his hand up, “H-Have you seen a shirtless kid?...His name is Inosuke! He’s wearing a boar helmet!” Nonaka quickly shook her head, “I-I don’t think so...Or um...I think I saw him going into the practice building?” Mr. Shinazugawa smirked, regaining energy as he ran like a mad man towards the practice building on the other side of the school.
Nonaka took a breath of relief then looked back at the red rose bush that the first year had jumped into. His name was Inosuke, huh? She pushed aside the branches and saw him lying there, some of the thorns had scratched into his arms, but otherwise he seemed fine. “That was quite reckless, Inosuke!” Nonaka scolded as she grabbed his arm and pulled him out of her beautiful red rose bushes! As she did, his boar mask fell off from her forcefulness. Now the two were eye to eye, close as she kept a grip on his arm. His sparkling emerald green eyes looking into her brown ones. He...HE WAS GORGEOUS! Black hair with blue tips that went down to his shoulders. His eyelashes were long and gave him a graceful look. Nonaka was blushing very hard, reminding herself of how Eiko was earlier. She felt as if her heart was thumping out of her chest! Was this her prince charming moment?!
Inosuke tilted his head while looking at her, blushing slightly. Inosuke couldn't stop looking at her with her long blonde hair which shone in the summer sun. He smiled wide at her though and grabbed his helmet, “Thanks! I’ll be sure to visit more often when I get in trouble!” Inosuke nodded at her and was about to leave. Nonaka got out of her own head and once again noticed his scratches from the thorns. “W-Wait! You got hurt!” Nonaka spoke up and ran to her tote bag. Inosuke turned back, curiously. As she dug through the bag, Inosuke got closer and saw a little pig charm on the zipper of the bag. Inosuke blushed hard, this girl was extremely cute…
Nonaka grabbed a box of bandages from her bag, they had little cutesy cartoon characters on them. She had them just in case someone got hurt while touching the roses, so this was the perfect time to use them. She patted the ground next to her and Inosuke sat down. Nonaka unwrapped a few bandages and began to put them on the few scratches that Inosuke gained from his hiding place. Inosuke glanced at her occasionally as she hummed. After a few minutes she was finished bandaging him, his arms covered with brightly colored bandages.
It looked a little silly, but Inosuke smiled wide and flexed his arms. “Thanks! Now I’m super colorful!” Inosuke exclaimed, making Nonaka giggle. “So...What’s your name?” Inosuke asked, glancing to the side. “I’m Nonaka. I’m the president of the garden club” Nonaka said with a shy smile. Inosuke nodded, giving her a large smile as he replaced the boar mask on his face, “Nonaka! I promise to return to repay you for helping me!”
Nonaka had a love struck smile as he ran back toward the school building. The words of his promise in her mind as she plucked one of the red roses. She held it to her chest as she took a deep breath and let out a dreamy sigh. It’s a date~

Part 2: July 3rd, 2021. 4:30 pm.
Eiko had just finished washing all the dishes in her clubroom. It had been a great club activity where everyone learned how to bake homemade cheesecake! Eiko licked her lips thinking about it, but that had ended around 4 pm. Eiko was the president of the home economics club. The activities included learning to cook, sew, and how to perform childcare. It was a small club with only four other girls apart from Eiko, but she didn’t mind. That did mean though that Eiko would end up being the last one in the club room, cleaning up.
Eiko took one last look at the clubroom then shut the door behind her. She looked out the back window at the garden club and noticed that Nonaka was there with a boy! He was shirtless and was that a boar mask? Nonaka looked happy though, which made Eiko smile. She had always been a fan of love, reading fairy tales when she was young and always hearing her parent’s love at first sight story. Eiko knew her idea of love was very girly and a bit childish, but she believed in it with her whole heart! Eiko always felt bad rejecting guys who were so straightforward about their feelings to her, but she never felt that shy sweetness within her when they confessed. This gave her a bad reputation with some boys lying and saying she lead them on or spreading rumors that she was heartless and played with other people’s feelings for fun. Soon guys were trying to get with her just because she was unattainable...Just so they could say that they dated her to brag to their friends...
Eiko sighed, remembering the note she had gotten earlier that week. It read, ‘Dear, Eiko. I know you say no to every guy, but you should say yes to me! I’m nice and I’ll give you tons of gifts! You should lower your expectations a little if you ever wanna be with someone. I love you and we’d be a great couple! Everyone would talk about us. Please let me know how you feel-’ Eiko couldn’t even read the rest of it. The note pissed her off, but she was as nice as she could be when rejecting him. Eiko didn’t want to be miserable because of others and kept her cheery demeanor the best she could.
Eiko shook her head, not wanting to think about it any longer. She reached her locker and put some of her books away. She turned around, closing and locking her locker behind her as she walked out of the school. Her older brother, Kasuhiko, was probably waiting at the train station for her. The kendo club usually ended before hers and her brother was always going ahead of her. Eiko walked towards the main gate, in her own mind. Unknowing, to her that she was being watched from the side by a strange figure.
Eiko passed the gate, but was stopped with a guy walking in front of her. He was the tall guy from her class, he stood in her way and looked down on her with a desperate look. Eiko gave her usual smile, panicking inside, “H-Hey, Daichi, right?” Daichi huffed, “Stop acting coy. You humiliated me in front of the class! What they say about you is true!” Eiko sighed and tried to go around him, but Daichi stepped in her way again. “Let me pass. I’m not interested in being a popular couple or whatever you wanted” Eiko spoke up, trying to find a way out of this situation. Daichi pushed her up against the stone gate though, hand gripping her shoulder hard. “I’ll let you pass for a kiss. You owe me that much” Daichi was more threatening now, Eiko not strong enough to push him back. She was paralyzed with fear, knowing he would gossip about them kissing if she allowed it. The fear welled up inside her, tears in the corner of her eyes.
Suddenly, a flash of yellow was in front of her! Pushing Daichi away and putting distance between Eiko and him. The figure held his hands up and waved them wildly, screaming, “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?! THAT’S NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!” The yelling seemed to scare Daichi and he ran away. Eiko sniffled and stared at her hero. The figure turned around and Eiko suppressed the urge to laugh. Covering her mouth as she looked him up and down. This guy was wearing name brand sneakers, black sweats, a blue shirt with a popped collar and a white track jacket on top. He had blonde hair, but he had a weird cardboard headband on. His face was also obscured by large sunglasses and a medical mask. Eiko looked at his arms and they were covered with fake name brand watches. He was also gripping money in his right hand.
He breathed heavily, probably running over to help her as fast as he could. Before Eiko could speak up, the figure spoke loudly and clearly, “Hello! I hope you’re alright!” He stopped speaking abruptly and stared Eiko in the eyes. She blushed lightly, smiling, “Y-Yes! Thank you, sir” It was still quiet, looking at Eiko. If this was any other situation, she might’ve been creeped out, but he had saved her from a creep! Eiko felt warm inside, a wave of relief washing over her. A sense of calm with him near her. “W-Well I must be heading to the station. My brother is waiting for me” Eiko said as she started walking. To her surprise, the guy began to follow her. Aw, he must be shy! He must be making sure that she gets there safely! Eiko shly covered her cheeks as she blushed more. WHAT A GENTLEMAN!
Zenitsu didn’t know why he had started following her for this long. Maybe he was just relieved that she wasn’t running away screaming? Zenitsu was blushing hard, he didn’t know what was coming over him. That jerk was just doing whatever he wanted and it filled Zenitsu with a strange sense of justice! He had to rush in there and save this beautiful girl! And she was very beautiful...Zenitsu heard of Eiko before. They were in the same grade and he had noticed her before. She was just as pretty up close as she was across the hall, but he heard how she always rejected men and broke hearts for fun, but looking at her closely he thought, ‘How could this cute, gentle face be like that…” Perhaps she was putting an act on, but she was treating him with kindness without even knowing who he really was. Zenitsu wanted to hold her hand and reassure her that she was safe now. Zenitsu felt his heart pounding harder, his lips sealed, unable to even mutter a thing to her. He would overheat if he stayed near her like this any longer!
As Eiko made it to the station, she noticed that he had begun running back to the school! He was fast! Eiko thought about his strange behavior for a moment and her body felt light. The summer breeze brushing her fluffy hair into her face...She had to know who he was…
~~~~~
July 4th, 2021. 8:30 pm.
“AND he ran into the sunset! He wanted to make sure I made it to the station safely and was even too shy to say goodbye!” Eiko said as she was explaining to Nonaka what had happened yesterday evening. “He sounds a little strange, but I’m glad he was there to help you. If I see Daichi in here, I’m giving him a piece of my mind!” Nonaka answered, puffing her cheeks out cutely.
Daichi didn’t show up for class though as Mr. Renguko entered the class to begin announcements. “Class! I have some important news! Please pass this flyer around. A pervert has been showing up in the evening and only goes after girls. Please stick together and be careful” Mr. Rengoku exclaimed as he gave out the orange flyer. Eiko took one and gasped loudly, “Th-This is my prince?!” The flyer showed a picture of the exact man who had saved her last night. No! This had to be a misunderstanding! Eiko decided right there that she would find out who this guy was! Nonaka saw the resolve in her friend’s eyes and tried extremely hard to break out into laughter! The two had to agree that the blonde hair did look familiar though...But who?...
~~~~~
February 14th, 2022. 8:25 am.
Eiko walked up to the gate, in her hands was a heart shaped box! It was full of homemade chocolate for her prince! It had been almost a year and she still had no idea who that guy could’ve been! She tried to stay after school as long as she could! Hoping he would show up again and she could figure out who he was, but no dice. She then tried asking around the school, but everyone thought she was weird for trying to figure out who the ‘pervert’ was. It was a bunch of dead ends, but Eiko knew that today was the day!
Nonaka walked beside her, her own little blue box in hand. She had made her own chocolates for the boy she had been crushing on for almost a whole year! Inosuke! The troublemaker who would always come to her for help. Inosuke even visited the gardening club before going home to see what was growing. Nonaka thought maybe he felt the same way about her too!
The two girls, with determination in their eyes, passed by the school gate. Unknowingly being watched by Zenitsu. His heart fluttered as he watched Eiko, he developed a deep crush for her after that summer day. Zenitsu had heard that Eiko was looking for the ‘pervert’, but didn’t approach her. He knew that she was going to yell at him and think he was such a creep for that day! Just thinking about the rejection was filling him with dread. He knew he had to keep his distance even if he didn’t want to. Not to mention, Eiko could pick any guy she wanted...Zenitsu knew he didn’t have a chance…Another failed Valentine’s Day...
~~~~~
4:00 pm.
Nonaka was ready, she had sent home the club early to go on dates and to be with their boyfriends or girlfriends. This was also because she wanted to make sure that she was alone with Inosuke! She wouldn’t have the courage to tell him otherwise! She was going to be graceful and tell him in a way that he couldn’t say no!
Inosuke ran up to the entrance gate of the school garden. “OI! NONAKA!” Inosuke yelled, startling Nonaka from her thoughts. His shirt all the way unbuttoned as usual, but this time he took his boar mask off in front of her. Inosuke was so used to Nonaka by now that he didn’t feel the need to hide his face. Her cheeks turned as red as a strawberry. Oh lord, she wasn’t ready!
Inosuke walked up to her with a smile, ready to tell her all about the mischief he was in that day. Before he knew it though, Nonaka was holding out her small blue box with a silver ribbon tied in a bow around it. “U-Um, I made this for you!” Nonaka stumbled through her words, feeling a bit foolish. Inosuke tilted his head and opened the box. A heart shaped chocolate was in the box, a red rose made of white chocolate was lovingly made in the middle.
Nonaka held her breath as he picked it up. She watched as Inosuke ate the chocolate quickly with a grin. “S-So?...” Nonaka asked, shyly. Inosuke looked at her questionably, “So what? It was good chocolate!” Nonaka’s eyes widened, “Inosuke...Do you know what today is?” Inosuke looked up, thinking, “It’s a Monday!” Nonaka huffed, of course he wouldn’t know what Valentine’s Day was! “Inosuke, today is Valentine’s Day. It’s a day where you give gifts to people that you love” Inosuke’s eyes widened as if a lightbulb went off in his head! Nonaka found herself being lifted into a hug by Inosuke. He joyfully spinned with her, “YOU LOVE ME, NONAKA!” Nonaka found herself giggling from his happiness.
Inosuke stopped spinning and nuzzled his head close to hers, “I love you too, Nonaka. Oh! I need to give you a gift!” Inosuke quickly plucked a flower from nearby and held it out for her. Nonaka smiled and gave him a peck on the lips. She’d have to teach him about White Day too!
~~~~~
4:15 pm.
Eiko had been around all day, asking ANYONE who the man in the sunglasses was. No luck though. Eiko decided to give up, maybe she was never meant for true love. Walking out the back door of the school, she noticed a blonde guy sitting against the wall near some of the cherry blossom trees that were getting ready to sprout. She saw him looking sad with his knees to his chest. She began to walk closer to where he was and noticed it was Zenitsu! He was in her grade! She always thought he was pretty funny if not a bit loud in the halls. He was also head of the morals comitee! So dedicated that he was always at the front gate! Maybe he knew who she was looking for!
As Eiko moved closer, Zenitsu’s eyes widened, noticing her coming his way! Did Tanjiro tell her that he was the one she was looking for?! Zenitsu felt himself panicking internally at each step she took, getting closer to him! He could still run away! Yeah! Just run away! Zenitsu was paralyzed though as Eiko was right in front of him. “Hi...Why are you sitting alone by yourself?” Eiko asked, softly. Zenitsu still wanted to run, but his mouth opened and seemed to be on autodrive as he spoke. “I um...I just didn’t receive chocolates from anyone, again. Kinda sad that I decided to mope about it, huh?” Zenitsu said with a small, sad smile. Eiko sat down next to him, a bit too closely. Zenitsu glanced to the side, trying not to stare. She smelled sweet though, like sugar and vanilla, making Zenitsu even more flustered. Eiko sighs, “I couldn’t find my pr-...my crush. Maybe he wasn’t even real. Kinda poetic, huh?” Eiko giggled, weakly. Zenitsu chuckled with her, but was surprised when she held her heart shaped box to him.
“Oh, n-no! I can’t! I mean, that was for your crush!” Zenitsu waved his hands in a dismissive way! Eiko just smiled, cutely, melting Zenitsu’s heart. Zenitsu grabbed the box and opened it. It was a heart shaped chocolate with pink ‘Thank You’ written in cursive with white chocolate on top. “You know that guy that people were calling a pervert? Well I met him! He actually helped me and I wanted to thank him, He saved me from-” Without thinking, Zenitsu interrupted her, “From a really rude guy. He was trying to force you to give him a kiss and I rushed in and scared him away. I kinda also got him expelled too. I mean they believed me because I’m in the moral committee and he admitted to doing it so it was an open and shut case-” Zenitsu looked up from the chocolate at Eiko. Her eyes were wide, sparkling and full of life. Zenitsu tensed and his face turning red, “I-I-I’m sorry! I-I-I-I mean! I didn’t! I-I-I-I-” Eiko leaned forward quickly and hugged him tightly, “It’s you! It was always you!”
Eiko, with her new found courage, pulled back and kissed Zenitsu quickly. When she pulled back, Zenitsu was smiling wide and looked dizzy. “I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what came over me! K-Keep the chocolate, please!” Eiko covered her cheeks, flustered and a bit embarrassed. Zenitsu leaned closer, “Eiko-chan~” He took her hands and moved them away from her face, admiring her closely. “I will always protect you, Eiko-chan! From now on, ok?” Zenitsu said, dreamily. Eiko sighed, lovingly as she leaned in to kiss him again.

it’s a long story
i don’t expect anyone to read this but i have some things i need to say. i’m not posting this for sympathy i just need to tell my story even if no one is here to listen.
tw // rape, drugs, alcohol, depression, eating disorders, self harm
i have grown up quite a bit since i made this account, i am no longer the 13 year old girl who thought life couldn’t get worse, i am almost 21 and i know now that it can always get worse and hopefully one day it will get better but today is not that day.
i grew up privileged i won’t deny that, i always had a roof over my head, food on the table, and money for new clothes and whatever else i wanted but life has still not been kind and i’m sure many people can relate.
i am scarred and bruised.
i was young when i learned life was a disappointing mess, my mom decided i was fat in 2nd grade and put me on my first diet, in fourth grade she took me to every nutritionist she could find and forced me to start a food journal. she jumped me from one diet to another, from gluten free to keto to only drinking protein shakes for weeks on end to weight watchers meals. she compared me to all my friends, clothing was always “unflattering” to my figure or didn’t help me look “slim” i was never the skinny friend, i was never the pretty girl.
i remember the first trip to the nutritionist when she had me get on the scale, i was terrified of the number. i was only 10 and i made every excuse for the number, my hair was wet, my clothes were heavy, my bracelet was heavier than it looked, whatever else i could say to explain why the number was what it was. i wasn’t even fat just terrified everyone would think i was. not only was the doctor staring at me, i felt surrounded, my mom was there, my dad was there, the nurse was there too and i just remember the feeling of the number defining me.
my dad got a job in another city and life was never the same and neither was our relationship, he missed me growing up, he wasn’t there for me. i felt so alone.
in middle school i started pulling out my eyelashes and instead of caring about me she shamed me and told everyone. there. was a point when she bought me mascara to remind me of how pretty i could be with eyelashes. she would yell at me saying it was embarrassing for her, i don’t remember exactly when i stopped but she hasn’t mentioned it since.
i turned to the internet for any acceptance i could get, sending old men pictures of me before i was even a teenager, “dating” anyone online who even give me the time of day. i turned to fandom culture and was groomed by countless 18+ fans who i’d have to talk out of suicide every other night feeling like their lives were something i was responsible for. i thought this is what adults do but i was just a compliant victim letting these adults use me as their therapist and sexting them before i’d even had my first kiss. 
all through high school i starved myself and stayed up till 2am doing any Pinterest workout i could find trying to reach a bullshit standard i had for myself only to gain more weight and feel even worse about my body, every day i still battle with food. 
i carved into my skin with anything sharp i could find just to feel something even if it was pain but nothing helped. 
i used to pray that i would get kidnapped just so someone would starve me till i was nothing more than skin and bones. i would hope for any illness that would take the fat off my body. 
in college i was raped, i was drugged, i was betrayed by my closest friends, i was taken for granted by someone who i thought was my best friend, i was bullied for my body, and i struggle with my sexuality. i was told by police that i couldn’t possibly be drugged and i sat there unable to move as they tried to handcuff me for underage drinking luckily my dorm RA stepped in and they gave me a warning but it wasn’t before the police could call my mother and tell her that her 17 year old daughter was drunk. she told all her friends and family.
and i haven’t even fucking graduated yet
i thought no one would ever notice me enough to want to have sex with me so i put myself in these situations like i was begging for someone to hurt me, and someone listened, he stole my innocence and he left me bleeding and alone. he watched me cry as he yelled at me to finish him. i mean what is a 17 year old girl to do when she thinks she’s getting what she deserves. i did it to myself really, i decided that life wasn’t worth anything unless a man deemed me worthy of sex. even when i begged him to stop and pleaded for him to listen and he didn’t, i knew i deserved it. 
i had been craving someone to want me and he did.
i was so glad that i wasn’t a “virgin” anymore that i ignored the complete disgust i felt, i ignored what he did to me, what he took from me. i explained it away and never told a soul.
things have only gotten worse with my father, he’s never said he’s proud of me, he calls me stupid and refuses to listen to a word i say. i hope one day i am more than the little girl he left to alone 5 days out of the week because work was just more important. i hope he feels bad for missing my sports games and parent teacher nights. “but i’m always there for the important things” but there were more important things than just graduation and weekends. i had choir showcases, theater performances, dance competitions, nationals, science fairs, spelling bees, and so much more that he never showed up to.
for better or worse my mother was always there, every scrape, every tear (even the ones she caused), every performance, and parent teacher night. 
for the first time in years i took a blade to my skin tonight and i watched as the blood came through my skin, i just feel like i’m in this endless loop of emptiness and i’m unable to feel anything.
i feel like most of my life has been a cry for help that no one can hear.
i have never known love and sometimes i don’t think i ever will maybe it’s just not in the cards for me. i fear that i don’t know how to love, i think i’ll never find someone who i can feel comfortable with enough to love. 
i bury myself in fiction and obsess over fictional characters and famous people. who will never know i exist because there no commitment there, i’ll never actually have intimate moments with them or expect them to care when i need help.
i traded blowing bubbles for smoking cigarettes, i traded lines of chalk on the cement for lines of cocaine, i traded my innocence for something i can never get back.
friday nights turned from dinners with my mom to drowning my problems with alcohol and listening to loud music i couldn’t be bothered to learn the words to.
i used to be so bright and warm but i can feel the light slipping and the cold taking over.
I am filled with these unanswered questions and unsaid thoughts, never did i think i would be here.
i guess my story is no different than thousands of others, i am not special, i am not an exception, but i am me and even when i wish i wasn’t i cannot change my past i can only try to overcome it.
maybe someone reading this can relate and feel just a little less alone or maybe no one will read this but i hope that everyone knows that their story doesn’t define them and i’m tired of letting mine define me.

I know we shouldn't have to explain our triggers and just have them respected. Earlier today I mentioned media with schools and bad teachers are a no go for me.
I am worlds better than I was a few years ago, where the very thought of setting foot in public school used to give me a severe panic attack. It sounds like I'm being dramatic...but I'm not.
Again, I know I don't have to explain this but I want to... Some deeply damaging shit went down.
I was abused by my teachers mentally and physically for three years. That's kindergarden, 1st and 2nd grade. The severity of it was this, my mom checked me every night to see if they left marks. They were careful and didn't leave many. Most of my bruises could be explained away - oh they fell on the playground, oh they got in a fight with other kids.
you might ask, how did they get away with it, how did my parents allow this?? Well, friend, have you ever met an abuser?
They were careful. They knew they had the edge over the 4 year-old. They would simply say I was lying.
I was not lying.
So, this systematic abuse went on. My parents scrambling for every bit of evidence they could get their hands on. They talked to the school. A lot. My mom yelled at them a lot. My mom went to school with me as an observer. My god, those were the only days the teachers acted like human beings.
No, not every teacher in the place was awful, just the ones that choose to target me. I had a lot of fantastic teachers since, but all that brightness cannot mop up blood stains.
Now, the most infuriating part, relating to the lasting damage, it left me an outsider.
What I mean by that is, H*rry P*tter was a big deal. A lot of my friends were into it. I saw there was a ton of fanfiction. I saw people having fun. And I went, yay me too!
It was okay at first. I just felt mildly uncomfortable with parts. Then I saw the movies. Then I broke down crying in a movie theater. I know now my friends would've understood but at the time, I hid it. I just played it as not my kind of movie.
I went to the bathroom or I made myself perfectly still so it didn't look like something was wrong.
So I watched from the sidelines, glad people were happy but bitter I couldn't join. Imagine my surprise when people realized there was a terf at the center. It was like I was that one kid who sits alone at recess because they don't like running. The kid is suddenly joined by the entire track team.
Some part of me wonders, if I picked up on the awfulness underneath because I was used to that kind of hidden awfulness hurting me.
But, like I said, I'm better than I was full blown panic attacks are limited. I'm hyper cautious. but that brings me back to being an outsider...
I can't watch Str*nger Things. I tried. I nearly puked. It makes me mad. It looks fun and I want that.
There's a whole sub-genre of horror I can't watch. I can fucking watch some dude get disemboweled on screen but if it's a school building my stomach drops.
but thank god for anime. Because japanese schools work fundamentally differently than the ones I went to... I don't get the same gut punch. I'm still playing with fire though... I can only handle it if it's a supernatural thing. If a teacher is a murderer... well, in the trash that goes.
How I wish these things only made me slightly uncomfortable. Then I can enjoy the other parts of certain media and just ignore the other stuff.
All that being said, before Covid hit I had been improving to the point I was able to look after children in a school-like setting. Previously, I was terrified I would somehow damage them in the same way I was. It didn't turn out that way. I got thanked profusely by some parents. Apparently their son was autistic. I didn't realize that, I just asked him about things he liked and let him talk. He likes dinosaurs, minecraft and mario, btw.
That's where my other anger is. What I want to do... really really want to do.... I can't. Not yet, anyway.

Rank: 10/10
Tumblr media
PREMISE
flashback to 6-8 years ago (because the OP here can’t remember lol): it’s desk selection day in qiao yi’s classroom! a very dramatic moment for all high schoolers, qia yi has to select who she sits next to. because she’s at the bottom of the class ranking, she gets last pick, which essentially narrows down her choices to that creepy kid who writes love poetry to every female student in the class and yan mo, the scary genius student who has placed 1st in their class since...forever.
taking a gamble, qiao yi goes with yan mo. yan mo eventually agrees to tutoring qiao yi outside of class and they become friends. then...friends? if you know what i mean. it’s very sweet and cute. only problem is that yan mo is both a genius and from a Family of Means, and so is already planning on attending cambridge (yeah, fucking cambridge) after graduation. not wanting to separate, yan mo asks qiao yi to come with him and she agrees to study hard so she can get accepted to a university in the UK, too.
but then, well, bad shit happened. 
qiao yi ended up staying in their home town, yan mo left for cambridge, and we got two v heartbroken teenagers on our hands.
4 years later, yan mo returns after studying in the uk, and by chance they end up bumping into each other. angry because qiao yi hurt him, yan mo puts up an ALOOF AND COLD AND I DONT CARE AT ALL front that she sadly buys. but after he leaves for the big city to pursue a business opportunity, qiao yi harnesses some amazing big dick energy to go after him, in a sort of inverse DONT LET HER GET ON THAT PLANE! move. very abba. 
the plot bounces between their (and their friends’) high school years, their lives as reunited adults, and their future lives as married folks. i love it very, very much.
MAIN CHARACTERS
zhao qiao yi
Tumblr media
as a high schooler, qiao yi was a quiet girl with low self-esteem, who consistently ranked at the bottom of her class and was always attempting to retreat into her school tracksuit like a turtle. despite this, qiao yi has some solid friends and is always kind if somewhat shy or uncomfortable in certain situations. as a adult, qiao yi works as a television producer and is clearly more confident. 
she buys truly awful graphic t-shirts as thank you gifts that one feels obligated to wear. falls for scams easily. will help you fold 1000 paper stars for your boyfriend even if she hates your boyfriend because she’s ride or die like that. look at how cute she is no one is allowed to be mean to someone as cute as this.
yan mo / “frank”
Tumblr media
if you liked se hee in because this is my first life, you’re in luck because here is a 10% angrier version. at first, yan mo seems cold, aloof, snobbish, pretentious, arrogant...
okay, but he’s ALSO got a lot of feelings and will help people out. well, at the start of the show, he’ll help two people out. but that expands to like 10. so, progress! in high school, he falls for qiao yi in the typical Cannot Spit It Out fashion, buying her sentimental cans of coke, PUTTING IN ONE EARBUD SO SHE CAN LISTEN TO THE BEATLES WITH HIM, feeling Weird about her tying his tie, and single-handedly ruining a for-profit afterschool tutoring business in about 30 seconds, because they weren’t teaching qiao yi anything, and he knew he could do it better. tbh he completely fucking destroys a lot of things and people in under a minute. #ruthless
he’s very protective of qiao yi and rather than explain it, here is a clip from the special episode where yan mo confronts another student who left a love confession meant for qiao yi in his desk by mistake (subtitles have to be selected under settings, but it’s subbed in english):
youtube
zhao guan chao
Tumblr media
zhao qiao yi’s twin brother, who has always placed 2nd in their classes after yan mo. despite his high grades, he comes off as a laidback teen heartthrob and has a reputation for being a flake and a playboy. BUT he’s legit a chill dude and clearly popular for a reason--he gets along with (almost) everyone. he loves his sister and is extremely protective of her, especially since she’s so shy and has low self-esteem for Reasons That Will Be Explained in the Tragic Backstory. he’s such a good brother. the best brother. also looks out for qiao yi’s best friend, wu yi. understands the value of shoes.
hao wu yi
Tumblr media
qiao yi’s best friend, and another classmate of The Crew. i say this with so, so much love, but she’s got a lot of chaotic dumbass energy. struggling along the bottom ranks with qiao yi during high school. she has the worst taste in men as a teenager, falling for the guy who literally bullied her in like. ep 2. thankfully she’s got qiao yi and guanchao.
the trio are close, and that doesn’t change as they grow up. wu yi ends up becoming a novelist who writes pop and steamy romance novels and has a significant teenage girl fanbase. it’s amazing. 
fei da chuan
Tumblr media
my boy. another classmate, he, qiao yi, and wu yi make up the official Dumbass Trio of their high school class and have adorable adventures + solidarity in it. he’s also yan mo’s uncle. somehow. because rich people families are wild. while he’s got a place to live, he more often than not crashes at yan mo’s, who Does Not Like It. but da chuan does not notice or care. 
abrasive but 100% sincere about everything and toward everyone. people will think he’s an asshole or a gangster but then he’s secretly feeding abandoned kittens in the corner or something. as an adult, has the best business casual outfits. serves as a big brother figure to a lot of people, but qiao yi in particular. cannot, cannot fucking do math.
SUPPORTING
“alicia” / cheng youmei. an old family friend of yan mo’s who is very posh and rich and dignified. studied abroad with him at cambridge, and is cold toward qiao yi after arriving back in china. cosplays B)
teacher gao. everyone’s high school teacher who later owns a bar that seems to be there only for dispensing advice. seriously. there is no way this bar is economically sound as the only customers you ever see are gao’s students coming in one at a time for Wisdom and you never see them pay for anything. also the bar has no fucking roof and is directly above traintracks. i have hang-ups about this bar
lin shu. yan mo’s mother. very sweet and pretty and a ballernia turned program director. is almost never home but clearly loves her son. du chaun’s sister. somehow.
zhao suyin. qiao yi and guan chao’s mother. one of her kinks is roleplaying condor heroes characters? okay okay okay
tian weimin. qiao yi and guan chao’s stepfather who works as police officer. best dad award. he’s so sweet and corny and peak dad humor. he loves them kids & they love him back
grandpa. yan mo’s dog in high school. a very old basset hound with sad eyes:
Tumblr media
dollar or d. i cant tell you anything about him, other than he used to be a stray and yan mo says he’s ugly, which, rude.
Tumblr media
DRAWBACKS
plot...hm. there’s SOME plot, but this is about characters + romance + friendship + family. if you’re looking for scheming mothers-in-law or tragic car accidents or secret destinies this isn’t the one for you. similar in vibe to Reply 1988 (they even watch the show in the show :’D / make references to it)
OKAY SO every plot summary i’ve seen says that yan mo is in a relationship with someone else when he gets back to china. no he is not. i say this because it was a huge turn off for me/initially put me off watching the series. he is definitely a one-and-only type. there’s no cheating in this show. lmao, hell, neither of the mains are even interested in anyone else but each other
i liked du chuan and his love interest a lot, but they definitely didn’t get as much screen time as the others
while it’s clear qiao yi + yan mo are the mains, another couple gets a lot of screen time as well. this might be a skip if you don’t like multiple couples/secondary relationships in a show
i surprisingly enjoyed the high school storyline a lot more than the adult one? which is super weird for me, but idk i was sad when it was over because it was so cute.
some...weird technical decisions. every once in a while, the camera will have like a nostalgia filter and then it disappears and then the edges get a bit blurry and idk it feels very film school 101 to show that what’s on screen is a ~memory. the soundtrack/music is sometimes also too loud--to the point where it can drown out the actors (particularly janice wu in the high school arc, since qiao yi is soft-spoken)
REASONS TO WATCH
the lead actors (janice wu + zhang yujian) are legit two of my favorites and they have great/easy chemistry. all the actors are amazing. everyone’s loveable
SIBLING GOALS the zhao twins are amazing and they’re both each other’s biggest fans. gaunchao had some really heartwarming brother moments
i love love lmao. this spoke to a lot of my favorite dynamics: exes reunited/having to work together, childhood sweethearts reuniting as adults, “gangster” and princess, childhood friends turned lovers, bickering couples, cold man who actually has a lot of feelings, lots of people being overprotective, idk. everything was just great. 0 complaints on any of the ships.
i genuinely liked every character other than that one piece of shit poppa zhao. even alicia, who’s put into the stereotypical rich bitch role, was actually really fun and subverted a lot of expectations for this trope
it’s just. real cute y’all. probably my favorite cdrama and definitely in my top 10 (maybe 5?) dramas overall.
FINAL THOUGHTS
i love them ;;
