and at last, the post that maybe three people maximum have been waiting for...

em's comfort retro rally videos: a masterlist!

in a much-needed return to this blog's roots, and as an antidote to all motorsport- and life-related chaos, i now present to you: the first edition of em's favorite retro rally videos!

general disclaimer/info: these videos mainly come from the group B era of the world rally championship (wrc), which generally speaking was in the '80s. i am only human, so expect a lot of bias toward my personal favorites...which will become very apparent as you read this list hehe. also i'm not even gonna pretend to be an expert on this or anything. a lot of these are literally just based on Vibes

table of contents

i. my top 5 rally coverage videos

mainly coverage for television, recorded on VHS and uploaded to YouTube by some truly incredible people

ii. honorable mentions

not rally coverage, but retro rally videos nevertheless

often documentaries, mini-doc features, interviews

for all videos, i have indicated the language (most are in english fyi); if any links fail or videos disappear, send me an ask or DM and i'll remove the culprit/find an alternative link.

and now, onward!

(TW for occasional flash photography in many of the night sequences of the videos, as well as a gif included in this post)

i. my top 5 rally coverage videos

in which my bias toward audi sport, mouton/pons, mikkola, toivonen, and vatanen are put on blast for all to see 🥴 i am not an expert in anything i am just very good at research and a whore for aud—[SNIPED]. for the sake of brevity, i narrowed my favorites down to 5. maybe another time i will share all the rest!

also, a general note about the commentary: sometimes, the commentary around michèle and fabrizia can get... weird. keep in mind, they were the most prominent female team partnership around that time, and the first to nearly clinch a wrc wdc, and to modern ears, the commentators really didn't know how to act around them. personally, it wasn't horrible for me, i just ignored the weirder bits, but i understand if others might find it off-putting. also for the sake of your sanity don't read the comments.

5. Rally of the 1000 Lakes, 1984 | finland

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: vatanen/alén/toivonen (full final results)

comments: this was definitely a rally for most of audi sport's drivers to forget: bar stig blomqvist, who came quite close to the podium finishers with a 4:14:01 to henri toivonen's 4:12:57! both hannu mikkola and michèle mouton had to retire from the race, which may lead you to wonder: why does this rank among my favorites? well, it's always fun to watch group b rally cars sailing through the air against picturesque scenery, and this video also contains an intriguing (at least for me!) look at the scrutineering process, with drivers at their most casual.

owie :( they were fine though!

4. Lombard RAC Rally, 1981 | britain

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: mikkola/vatanen/blomqvist (full final results)

comments: hannu winning by 11 whole minutes even after rolling his car in the middle of the forest is actual legend behavior! anyway this was michèle's first wrc outing in britain, and even though she and fabrizia had to retire, they still did quite well, consistently running high in the leaderboards after the first few stages. and that's considering the fact that michèle had a bad cold for much of the rally and had to ask fabrizia to drive the car to service park for her at one point bc she was so tired. which fabrizia did... with a pencil in her mouth. lot of big names in one video—also, jean todt makes an appearance as a co-driver!

shamelessly poached off of one of my text post edits

3. Marlboro Safari Rally, 1983 | kenya

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: vatanen/mikkola/mouton (full final results)

comments: ok can i just say how stunning the video presentation is?? the opening sequence is just!!! the shots of the wildlife! the sprinting giraffes! wow! anyway the visual of drivers in deck chairs just tickles me for no reason, and michèle please tell me what you ask for at the hairdresser's and also where you got that orange blouse (this is obviously not just specific to this rally, she always eats and leaves no crumbs). this was michèle's first entry and only finish in kenya (and of course it was a podium mwah). it was also her last wrc entry in the A1 quattro, as she switched to the A2 for the rest of her program in the '83 season. also this is one of my favorite podium pictures ever.

lksdjffnnkd there's almost too much to unpack... fabrizia somehow surviving in high waist jeans in a hot car... michèle's do-it-yourself shorts... this podium picture was the subject of a very frantic video chat conversation between myself and a friend at 2am a few months ago

2. Rallye de Portugal, 1982 | portugal

links: short recap (eng) | overall coverage 1, stuck in the middle of two other rallies. timestamps in descrip. (eng) | overall coverage 2, very vibey with cool music (ita... also peep walter röhrl speaking italian)

podium: mouton/eklund/wittmann (full final results)

comments: GOD I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH AAAA! michèle's first podium of '82 being a win? this rally being the one where there's footage of her going shopping with fabrizia afterward? (more on that later) them winning by 13 whole minutes? and that's not even considering THEE most poetic victory ceremony of all time! in fact let me talk about that bc the racing and the win aside, that's why it's so high up on my list! literally poetic cinema! it's night, they're standing on top of the car and floodlit and surrounded by cheering crowds but they may as well be the only ones there in their own little world, laughing at each other and barely even having to look to each other when they're raising their hands—like god! shut up! we get it you're besties 😭

i_just_think_theyre_neat.png

and now... last but certainly never least...

1. Lombard RAC Rally, 1982 | britain

link: overall coverage (eng)

podium: mikkola/mouton/toivonen (full final results)

comments: firstly, if you were to ask me about my dream podium, this would be it. hands down, across all series of motorsport, my comfort podium would be hannu, michèle, and henri in any order. (there's such a cute picture of them from this rally on pinterest, standing in order on a staircase. henri is not looking at the camera because he is laughing at something michèle is saying and it's such a Vibe but i cannot find it wah). the battle for second between michèle and henri ran down to literally the last stage, and their times are separated by seconds, which is just wild to me. the context of this rally deserves another post, which i honestly don’t have the energy to make rn, but just take my word for it that it threatens to destroy me if i think about it too hard! anyway this is just such an awesome rally and i’ve watched this video so many times haha

i love this rally so much that i actually had a character in a story i was writing attend the ceremony captured in this picture as a small child and made it a formative moment in her life. no, there is nothing wrong with me.

ii. honorable mentions

(is it obvious who my faves are? yikes)

'Group B - Avec Michele Mouton' (eng) - taken from a longer feature presentation about group b, a segment specifically about michèle. a friend once described its vibes as ‘a synth wave edit of an 80s anime set in a cyberpunk world about racing’

'1983 Audi Sport National Rally with Michele Mouton' (eng) - in which michèle takes journalist sue baker as a co-driver for a spin in an A1 and a rally win. fun behind-the-scenes video

'Intervista a Fabrizia Pons, la Regina delle Note' 1, 2, 3 (ita) - very thorough interview which is mostly fabrizia telling all sorts of stories, including the very entertaining story of how she found out she was going to be michèle’s co-driver. also what a badass title

'2008 Otago International Classic Rally' (eng) - THE BESTIES REUNITE THE BESTIES REUNITE!!! michèle and fabrizia reunite for a rally that fabrizia convinced michèle to join, they suffer some problems but there are plenty of wholesome bestie moments to be had

'Michele Mouton hurls Group B Audi Quattro up Goodwood hill' (eng) - i mean, self explanatory. the sound of the chirping tires? asmr could never. very short watch if you want a quick pick-me-up

'1990 Louise Aitken-Walker feature' (eng) - a video featuring a female rally driver from scotland and her point-scoring run at the rallye monte -carlo. i am convinced that louise was john finnemore’s inspiration or at least an influence for the character of linda fairbairn. no my hat is not made of tin foil what are you talking about

hannu rocketing around michigan back in 2017 (eng)

hannu flying around goodwood in 2015 (eng)

sometimes i listen to fabrizia's recent onboards (yes, she's still at it!) and this one is one of my favorites, from 2016 (ita)

Can you write Jungkook having bad indigestion while they’re out shopping and there’s no way they can go home yet. His stomach getting really bloated and painful and he constantly has a hand on it or rubs it. With Jimin as the caretaker?

A.N : aaaa thank u for this !! the scene i had in mind was GCF Tokyo when they were out for dinner and then went shopping, but i couldnt find the right gif that include both of them 😬 i hope you like this one and I'm sorry i suck at making the ending T.T

TW : emeto, graphic descriptions of vomiting

Jungkook huffed for the nth times that night. He let his camera hang down on his neck as he moves his clammy hands on his stomach. Shit, he could feel it sloshing under his arms, and it kinda bloated too until it feels like pushing his chest. He stifled a burp, hoping it could lessen the tight feeling in his chest and stomach. His eyes still trailed into Jimin that still roaming around the leather jacket collection. His hyung seems so happy with this vacation, especially the shopping part. So there's no way he has a heart to ask the older to cut their night short. It still 9 PM though.

Jungkook walks closer to the older, "Have you found something?"

"Mhm not yet. Do you want to check out another shop?", Jimin turned his gaze to Jungkook and Jungkook absolutely can't say no to that. So he nods and lets Jimin drag his wrist outside to another shop that he wants.

They are on their 5th shop that night when Jungkook's stomach just getting worse. The bloated feeling now turns into a mix of cramps and nauseous. He sucked a deep breath, his hands start to be more clammy, followed by a cold sensation even he's dripping with sweats. His eyes trailed to scan the store, looking for the bathroom signs, just in case. Another burp erupts from his stomach, this time leaving a sour taste on his mouth make him grimace in disgust. He squeezed his stomach once again, Oh gosh, this is so painful.

Jungkook was too deep in his misery until he didn't realize Jimin was already stand in front of him and ready to go, "Kook? hello? are you okay?"

"Uh?", Jungkook startled, " Uh yes. Are you done?"

Jimin nods, "Do you want to go somewhere again, Kook?". Jungkook eagerly shakes his head, " No, lets go to our hotel"

They just a few steps away from the shop entrance when painful cramps hit Jungkook's stomach, making him squeezed his eyes shut and hissed in pain—not being able to hide the pain in the slightest because that was really painful. It feels like someone punch his bloated stomach. Jimin snaps his head, "Jungkook? What's wrong?". Jungkook licks his dry lips as another burp escaped from his throat, this time it brings a splash of his dinner earlier. He's going to be sick, " Can we .. go to the bathroom first hyung?"

Jimin takes a proper look at the younger and shit. how he could not realize that Jungkook is pale and drenched in cold sweats? not to mention how his hand always clutched his stomach. Jimin felt guilty. He dragged Jungkook's wrist as he storms back inside and goes to the bathroom. Jungkook trailed behind with his hands still aggressively clutch his stomach that now rocking more with every quick step he makes.

Lucky for them, the bathroom is empty. Jungkook quickly goes into one of the stalls, does not bother to close the door, and lets out a nauseated cough. His hand now pressing his stomach, try to push the pain away and urging it to just let out the content inside. He feels a small hands rubbing his back, "Whats wrong, Kook?"

"My stomach hurts so bad hyung ... I think it hasn't digest our dinner yet and now it's so bloated. It's making me nauseous. I think I'm going to be sick", Jungkook whined.

"Take off your belt Kook-ah, and loosen your jeans. It must be digging your stomach the whole time", Jimin softly says. Jungkook shakily do as he told and finally, he could breathe slightly, " Oh gosh you're right hyung"

But as the relief comes, his stomach compensates it by sloshing harder, making Jungkook quickly turn his body back facing the toilet as a stream of his dinner suddenly rushes from his lips. The stream was a lot and hard until some of it splash to the seat, leaving Jungkook cough as some of it also out from his nose, "Fuck ...", he whimpered. He opened his eyes slowly and the sight of brown lumpy vomit on the bowl with some remnants of his dinner —he still could identify meat and rice he ate earlier there— setting him off again. His body bent further forward as a gurgled retch dragging more of his dinner splashing to the toilet.

"Let it out Jungkook-ah", Jimin murmured beside him, his hands giving a massage on Jungkook's tense muscle. Jungkook nods, before letting out another copious thick liquid down there. He coughs a few times and spats the weird taste of saliva before flush the almost-full toilet, " Are you finished, Kook?"

"Mhm", Jungkook mumbled as he opened his mouth wider, another deep heave rocking his body, making him almost kneeled and dived his head into the bowl, which followed by another stream of brown vomit rush out. He gives 2 more sick splashes to the toilet before he straightened his body and flushes the toilet. He grabs the tissue and wipes his runny nose.

"Oh god Jungkook-ah, you're throwing up a lot. Are you feeling better?", Jimin asks with his hand still trailed on Jungkook's jacket.

"Uhm .. yes hyung, a lot better. I'm sorry that was gross", Jungkook says shyly as the realization hits him on how ugly it must look in Jimin's eyes.

Jimin takes a glance at his left arm, which has another arm curled around it, quite tightly, and turns his gaze to the person behind that as they walk outside. He giggles, "Jungkook I'm not going anywhere, no need to hold me this tight"

"What are you talking about, now let's rinse your mouth so it won't taste like vomit, and then go back to the hotel. Maybe we could visit a convenience store first to buy some electrolyte drinks, medicine, and some light snack. So your stomach won't is too empty", Jimin rambles behind Jungkook that currently washing his hands and rinse his mouth. His mind is still too clouded after all the energy he spent back there in the stall to register any of Jimin's words. He will simply agree to that.

Jungkook that was too focused on the street in front of him, flustered, but make no move to let go of the hold, "Let me Hyung. I don't want to trip on my feet since I'm still exhausted after that" gaining another teasing remark from the older, "Mhm sure Kook, it's not because you like me too much right?"

"I will leave you on this street alone hyung"

Spooky Movie Night [Javi Gutierrez x Reader]

Summary – It’s Halloween and Javi Gutierrez loves to celebrate different seasonal holidays in his own special way. He plans a spooky surprise before you both settle down and watch one of his favourite Nic Cage horror movies.

Pairing – Gender neutral reader x Javi Gutierrez (No Y/N)

Warnings – mentions of general spooky Halloween themes but nothing too detailed, food and drink, mild spoilers (not really) about Javi’s character. Overall just a super sweet and fluffy one shot.

Word count – 1.8k

A/N: Okay I read the script for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent and AAAA! I actually… really liked it. One thing to come from it is my undeniable love for Pedro Pascal’s character, Javi Gutierrez. So here we are. It’s nearing Halloween and after a short break, I couldn’t help but pop out a semi-spooky but cute and fluffy one shot for Javi. I really hope you enjoy.

It was the evening of October 31st, and a cold evening at that. You had never really celebrated Halloween but you knew that traditions would quickly change when you moved in with Javi. He loved celebrating seasonal festivities in any which way he could. Last Easter, he invited his whole family over and planned an egg-hunt, even having his hench bodyguard Carlos dress as the Easter bunny. Of course, Javi told you it was to please his young niece’s and nephew’s, but the smile on his face when a hopping Carlos granted Javi with a chocolate egg ignited a feeling inside you that you had never felt before. Javier Gutierrez was as sweet as sugar, precious, and unlike any man you had ever met before. There was not an air of toxicity to Javi Gutierrez and you knew that everything he done for you, he done with good intentions. He had the purest of hearts.

After finishing dinner, you couldn’t shake the icy feeling that hung above you and so you announced you’d be taking a bath, wanting to get ready for the horror movie marathon Javi had prepared for you both to watch later that night. You’d already set out your pyjamas and even noticed Javi had folded them neatly for you, placing them at the end of his bed. You grabbed Javi’s lighter from his bedside drawer and picked out some of your favourite fall scented candles, carrying them to the bathroom. The walk to the bathroom felt scary. The amber light at the end of the hallway was flickering, and as you dragged your bare feet across the carpet, you left yourself a mental note to ask Carlos to change the bulb. Almost reaching the bathroom, you gasped at the shadow which had been casted from the flickering light. It was an unusual shape… ghost-like, a silhouette that hovered over you. If you blinked, you would’ve missed it. Deciding it was just your mind playing games on you, you tried shaking the feeling and entered the bathroom.

You placed two candles on the window sill and light them, engulfing the smell of seasonal cinnamon and baked apples. After twisting the antique gold taps, you made yourself comfortable on the edge of the white marbled tub, legs crossed, and swirled your fingers in the warm bubbly water, absorbing the soapy citrus scent. It was Javi’s soap but you needed something to put yourself at ease and figured bathing in Javi’s scent was a good idea; so, you poured the remnants of it in the running water. The heat of the water began to steam up the glass shower screen, so you took your index finger, and began doodling pumpkins and ghouls, waiting for your bath to fill up. You smiled a little, leaning back and admiring your artwork when the bathroom door burst open.

“Boo!” Javi cried out, his hands in the air. You took a second to take him in; a white bed sheet hanging over his body, smothering his face and two messy holes cut out the fabric exposing his deep chocolate eyes. You gasped, almost falling back into the tub when Javi jolted forward, grabbing your arm and pulling you to safety. You grabbed on to him and yanked the bed sheet off him, throwing it into a puddle on the floor. Your heart was racing, and Javi looked equally as petrified. “I’m so sorry!” He exclaimed anxiously as nerves raced through his body. His dumb joke had you almost fall back into the bath tub. He felt so guilty. You could’ve really hurt yourself.

You froze up, holding on to him and hesitated after you were sure you had regained your balance. “Javi,” you spoke softly, raising your hand and cupping his cheek. He nuzzled his face into the palm of your hand. “It’s okay. I’m okay.”

“I just wasn’t thinking. Wanted to scare you, for Halloween,” he shrugged helplessly looking defeated.

“Well, mission success. Consider me scared.” you smiled at him and you swore you saw a spark in his eyes. You straightened the collar of his brown button down shirt and pulled him into another passionate kiss. He kneeled to your level, not breaking the contact, and wrapped his arms around your waist. You were the first to break away. “You gonna let me take my bath in peace now?” You joked, still a little breathless. Javi nodded, leaning over you and turning off the running water. You stood up and began to undress yourself, letting your clothes fall on the floor and checking the temperature of the water before you settled on it being just right. Javi took your clothes in his arms and bent over, picking up the white bed sheet that had pooled on to the floor. On his way out of the bathroom, he felt his heart flutter at the sight of you engulfed in the bubbles, eyes closed. He noticed your little Halloween doodles on the glass shower screen and took the opportunity to draw a heart with yours and his initials inside. Javi left the bathroom with his hands full of laundry.

You couldn’t let yourself fall asleep in the bath. Not this evening. You kept yourself awake by thinking of the spooky themed activities Javi had in store for you tonight. The truth is, you couldn’t stand horror movies, and Javi didn’t know this. You refrained from telling him because you knew how excited he was to watch Nic Cage’s 2006 rendition of the horror flick ‘The Wicker Man’ with you. He had been walking around the house all morning, quoting it. You even caught him pointing at an orange, whispering eerily at it, doing his best Nic Cage impersonation. Holding back a laugh, you approached him from behind and wrapped your arms around him. “What ya’ doing Javi?” You sung, almost teasingly. He jumped at your touch, almost dropping the orange.

“Nothing.” he replied to you, his voice a little thicker than usual. Your lips curved into a smile as you realised he was trying to get his voice back to normal-Javi, rather than his adorkable Nicolas Cage impression. You didn’t push him further. You didn’t want to embarrass him, so instead, you pressed a kiss into his cheek and felt his skin heat into a blush. Pulling away, you were greeted with Javi’s enormous grin. “Are you excited? For, you know. Tonight. The movie marathon I have planned. You know I think you’ll really like it.”

You contemplated taking Javi to one side and asking him if he’d rather watch the Nic Cage rom-com, Valley Girl with you instead. But took a deep breath and smiled back at him. “I can’t wait.” You assured him and it was as if his grin got even bigger. Taking the orange from his hand, you walked to the kitchen counter and began to peel it, pulling out the segments and feeding yourself and Javi as you let him babble on to you about movie trivia.

“And you know, Winona Ryder turned down the role as Willow because she hated the script!” As Javi rambled on, you skilfully through an orange segment into his open mouth. He swallowed it whole, making you giggle, before continuing. “I mean- I just can’t imagine hating anything that Nicolas Cage is part of.”

After your bath, you wrapped a towel around your head and slipped in to your cosy pyjamas before meeting Javi in the living room. It was dark, only the television screen illuminating the room. He was waiting for you, and had the movie all set-up, ready to play. On the coffee table, Javi had sprawled out left over candy from the trick-or-treaters, and two goblets of- “Javi, what’s in the cups?” you asked quizzically, pointing at the still red liquid.

“Blood.” Javi grinned at you. You raised an eyebrow before raising the goblet and taking a sip. You smiled into the cup before pulling it away, licking the sweet but sticky residue of cherry soda from your lips. Javi’s jaw dropped. “You drunk it! How could you drink it?” Javi exclaimed. “I told you it was blood!”

“Where would you get blood from?” You laughed at Javi’s cute reaction before sinking down next to him on the sofa and wrapping a blanket over you both.

“You smell nice,” Javi hummed.

You looked up at him. “It’s your soap.” You smiled.

“I know.” Javi returned the smile.

Javi took the remote and pressed play on the movie. You both settled down. The movie was hard to follow, but maybe that’s because you were so distracted by watching Javi. You knew when an intense scene would follow, because Javi would instinctly hunch over and try get closer to the television screen. You’d watch him for minutes, and he was so engulfed into the movie, there was moments you thought he had forgotten to blink. You admired the way he knew it line by line and the way he’d recite random facts about the movie’s production during the less interesting bits. Watching movies with Javi was always an experience, but watching movies with him this Halloween was like no other. There wasn’t a single thing you would change about Javi. He was perfect in his own unique way.

You let out your fifth yawn of the night and Javi turned the television off. “Hey, Jav,” you mumbled tiredly, rubbing your eyes. “What ya doing? Movie… movie wasn’t finished.” Another yawn. Javi let out a chuckle, pushing your damp hair out of your face and standing up. This time, Javi gently tugged the blanket from you and pushed his arms under you before sweeping you off your position on your sofa and carrying you in his arms. You let out a cry and buried yourself into his chest. “Javi!”

“Bed time,” he said. You couldn’t see his face but you were certain you could hear the smirk in his voice.

“But the movie-“ you began to protest.

“We can finish it next Halloween.” Javi promised and you were far too tired to argue with him.

Javi gently tucked you into his bed, placing a kiss on your forehead. You closed your eyes and felt yourself fall into a slumber. Javi undressed himself and turned out the lights. You stirred slightly when you felt him climb into next to you.

“I love you Javi,” you whispered.

“I love you too.” Javi replied.

aaaa pls tell me stuff abt your ocs they're all so cool!! 🥺💚

Omg I finally finished answering this!!!!! 👀👀

Farcry 5: Zoë Seed!!

Omg that’s me 😏 she was an entomologist checking out the cool insects of Hope county and unfortunately for her she doesn’t believe in private property when it comes to discovering nature. One day chosen find her trespassing on John seeds property. They think she’s a spy for the resistance as she has a camera, binoculars etc. They take her to the main church (conveniently was a Sunday) once service is over shes handed over to the father and himself and John go through her camera. They only find insect pictures and omg wow she’s not a spy. She’s indoctrinated into the cult and ends up eventually becoming John’s right hand of god 😌🙏 sinners who happen to be an extra annoyance go to her where she makes them confess in whatever way possible. Or they die in the process, whoops 💅🏻 She’s polyamorous with all of the seed siblings including Faith cos like come on now let’s be real they all crave and need loving. However she’s married to John Seed because that baby boy is everything 😤❤️ She also likes to do cult posters and help write songs and sing them cos it’s fun as hell. She is closest with John and Faith Seed specifically out of the 4 Seeds. Other cultists are scared of her, or is it respect? Hmm who knows 😌 She also tortures sinners for fun and chases them around the forest making them as shit scared as possible. Oops 😏

The Magnus Archives: is my oc who is an Avatar of the eye and Rayn Porter is my oc who a avatar of the corruption. They both have the same last name as they are both the same person just if they had gone down different entity routes in their life. I’ll talk about Rose first! (I also have an avatar of the flesh and the vast but I haven’t worked on them yet or got them ‘fully fleshed out’ 😏

Rose Porter: avatar of the Eye, marked by the stranger, the spiral and the vast.

From an early age Rose always felt the need to watch people, to know, to understand. As she got older these feelings only became stronger and she begins to stalk people, not because she finds that person special for any particular reason they just happened to look to long at her and she saw them doing so. That just sets something off In her so now they must be followed, acknowledged, understood and scrutinised (me self projecting right into my ocs 😌). She found the Magnus institute one day as she started stalking Rosie. when she had seen the woman walking into a large glorious building she knew something was off, like the itching feeling you get, the feeling in your gut, the sensation of something important. She did not know what had over come her to walk in the building so quickly as that would ruin her chances of learning further about this person who dared make her feel so uncomfortable. But there she was. She was hired immediately of course as a librarian, then moving on the be an archival assistant, shocking to her. But obviously not to Elias Bouchard who knew just how useful her alignment to his almighty beholder. To say she had a crush on him would be an understatement. She can’t explain it. Some would call infatuation, some would call it chemistry, but smart ones say it’s because they are both devotees to the eye and she is in so much deeper than she has ever anticipated or even realises 👀

Rayn Porter: avatar of the corruption, marked by the flesh, the lonely and the stranger.

Rayn despises people (same queen 🙄) they put animals on a higher level of respect than humans. The corruption took ahold of them as a young child, they would always follow and play with cockroaches as a child. However their mother was to say the least an unempathetic, transphobic and cruel woman to say the least. Rayn was raised in a household full of scrutiny, hate and fear. Because of this had very little friends as the only social interaction they knew was their bitch ass mother they turned to the ‘pests’ of their home. Whether these were the slugs and snails in the basement of their home, or they were the cockroaches, house centipedes and rats that dwelled in their attic. They loved and appreciated them all, but their was still something deeper to it. A deep rot had started to form in Rayn and they hated their mother and family. They hated them for how they had cast them aside for not being female, they hated them for all the mistreatment they had faced as a child. The rot started small, a odd old smell that started to lurk around Rayn. Eventually others would notice the smell but would shrug it off as the smell would soon be covered by the smell of Rayns chain smoking. Then one day Rayn was staring in mirror poking at their face and squeezing. They found a sore on her face and squeezed it, pus comes out but something moves underneath. They squeeze harder and something wriggles forth, it’s a very small, juvenile cockroach, streaked slightly in something slimey. As you can imagine that fucked them up a bit, but they learnt to embrace it. Learnt to love that crawling away just underneath their skin are thousands of little legs connected to cockroach’s of many sizes. Sometimes if not managed roaches will find themselves sneaking out of nostrils, mouth and ears. Sometimes even out from behind her eyes. One way they feed the corruption is they set forth the filth at a selected location. All it takes is for them to place a cockroach down in a building and within a week there will be a infestation so strong causing the people in said building to be taken down with it. The Cockroaches will feed on those that they can over power and The Corruption always needs feeding... (Also just want to add cockroaches themselves aren’t actually dirty, they’re actually obsessive cleaners. the locations they live in are dirty)

Telltale Batman- Roz Traegers:

first encounter with John Doe (the eventually to be known Joker) was at the bar he frequented. They had never once seen him drink a drop of alcohol. He would order beer constantly for his alcoholic sure but never consume it himself. Aside from his alabaster white skin nothing about him seemed out of the ordinary to them. Well except the fact he liked to stare, a lot. You would constantly worry it’s because he was just judging you based on your appearance (a lot of people do) however John just likes to stare at people and found you interesting for some reason (cliches I know, but me and John Doe are basically the same person and I like to think he’d think I’m interesting). Roz has a great dislike towards the people John works with, they don’t appreciate how badly they treat him. Especially Harley. John is so obsessed with Harley and she treats him like absolute shit. Roz had a plan to get Harley arrested, however John found out and threatened to never speak to Roz again. Roz has a soft spot for Mr Freeze specifically from the gang also.

Vampyr: Rose Pine

works as an assistant to Camellia at the florist. Rose isn’t a very chatty person and has had quite a traumatic up bringing. Her mother, sister and father are all unfortunately deceased. Her father killed her mother, then sister, then Rose, then turned the knife on himself. Rose survived her injuries (hence the scar on her throat) and was put out into the adoption system. Roses father believed he had been doing his family a service by taking their lives before they could be claimed by Ekons. Roses father had been a vampire believer long before they had even breeched the city. Rose always waves hello to Jonathan Reid when she sees him galavanting around. He always waves back and occasionally they will exchange a conversation. One evening they exchange more than just brief chit chat when Jonathan is required to save her from a group of feral Skals. Rose is very badly injured from her encounter and Jonathan ends up having to change the sweet little florist he sees most evenings into a Ekon. Rose is also good friends with Charlotte Ashbury and Charlottes mother Elisabeth. I haven’t played Vampyr in a wee while, I want to get back into it soon so plan on adding more to her story.

Outlast: Rosie Porter

Rosie worked as a live in psychiatrist for those at mount massive asylum. She lives on the premises that way patient can be attended to at any time. Her experiences throughout life gives her empathy for those that are locked up, that the other guards and majority of other staff just don’t have. Rosie has always been able to empathise with those who would be considered ‘evil’ whether she empathised out of her own sick fascination or because of her heart hurting too much is another question. Rosies favourite patients are Eddie Gluskin and Chris Walker. She was hired after Jeremy Blaire forcibly admitted Chris Walker. Rosie is enamoured with Eddie and he knows it. Knows he has his little psychologist wrapped around his finger. However Eddie would be a hypocrite if he said he also wasn’t wrapped around her finger. Rosie is forcibly committed to the asylum by Jeremy Blaire they start Project Walrider on the patients. Rosie was against it and threatened to blow the whistle on the whole thing (dumb idea) and Jeremy uses her as the first female Walrider test subject. Rosie has engaged in an affair with her boss Jeremy Blaire when she first started working there. Due to their past ‘hands on’ relationship, Rosie is allowed more time with her patients and allowed to be alone with her patients. This has allowed for her to further her work with her patients, as they’re quite open when the know they aren’t being openly judged by the security staff.

Hannibal: Jessi Trees

is a forensic entomologist who works alongside Beverly, Jimmy and Brian analysing dead people n shit. Jessi first met Will Graham on the scene of a crime when they had both been called out. It was the mushroom killer from memory as the soil was packed with invertebrates filled with evidence. Will has just finished doing his whole ‘this is my design’ when Jessi walks up to him and stands quietly beside him, where they say: “These fuckers are filled with worms and I don’t know shit about worms” Will Graham turns and looks at them like what the fuck? Those are dead people. Jessi merely shrugs, smirks and walks off. Jessi can be described by a lot of people as ‘a cold person’ or ‘indifferent’ but passionate. They dehumanise the corpses they’re working with at that’s the only way they can get justice for them. If they get too caught up in all the sadness of it, they can’t move forward from it. Jessi has a crush on Will Graham and Beverly Katz. Jessi questions Will and Hannibals relationship quietly from the background but never really comments.

Bonus character!! Stardew Valley: Zoë

This bad ass came all the way from Zuzu city in need of a better and different life. They inherit their grandfathers old farm and get it up and running. The town is filled with wonderful, amazing people. But of course Zoë has to want to become close friends with the person who hates me everyone: Shane (they’re kindred spirits, Shane isn’t aware of this however because he seems to think he’s the only person who can suffer from substance abuse and sever depression haha.) Shane hates them of course until they keep harassing him and he reasilizes she’s a lot more screwed up than he was aware. Zoë is close friends with Shane (ends up marrying him one day), Linus (I would fucking die for him and anyone who’s cruel to him gets my foot in the butthole), Leah (they hang out frequently and like to paint in the forest together), Emily (I have a massive crush on Emily haha, she’s so similar to me it’s great), is also friends with Sam’s dad and Jodis husband Kent (Kent suffers from PTSD and I’ve developed a lot of my own techniques to help with my own PTSD so we help each other out. Also Jodi I’m stealing your husband, just kidding, unless). Zoë’s favourite animals on her farm are her blue chickens (raised by Shane) and her horse Aaron. Zoë’s favourite yearly event is the moonlight jellies festival!

Thoughts on Putting Others First: SvS Redux as they come to me

AN HOUR LONG?!?!?! Y E S THANK YOU

I am LOVING this opening art style. The way it shows all the things Thomas could say and shuts them each down, the silliness tying in perfectly to the video game setting, the way we could SO STRONGLY empathize with Thomas despite him not saying anything. Well done!

“Eff friends, Patton!” Patton and I made the exact same gasp and noise at the same time in reaction to that dsjfhljdhg

Lookit Thomas’ lil vest awww <3

ROMAN WITH THE PUNS I LOVE IT APPRECIATE HIM

rhymes

they’re rhyming is this gonna be

A SONG!!!

(Logan off somewhere watching all of this: “You guys are doing a RAP? Without ME? .....Unacceptable”)

Seriously poor Logan being left out BOTH TIMES despite clearly having excellent points on the matter

But I’m loving this Patton/Roman dynamic being explored in this way. They have a lotta similarities but the differences are really standing OUT so far and I like it! Also it looks like Roman isn’t gonna just shut up and do whatever Patton says out of fear that he’s a bad person/bad for Thomas this time. I’m glad they’re both getting a chance to talk cause they aren’t exactly taken seriously a lot of the time.

RETURN OF THE BLINDFOLD METAPHOR followed by Roman saying “in Patton’s defense...” so they like, KNOW what Deceit meant about the blindfold? Were they playing dumb? Or do they just suddenly get it now that it’s coming from Thomas?

Ok this Feral Cat Story of Roman’s is too specific for me to dismiss and now I’m convinced either Remus brought a shitton of cats home one day and they just flooded their house/rooms, or Patton brought home a bunch of cats out of love and didn’t realize he couldn’t take care of em...either way that’s an adorable anecdote

The car jump line that Patton took literally is just making me miss Logan even more :(

I’m glad they’re giving context to the relationship between Thomas and Mary Lee & Lee! A lot of fander questions and opinions circled back to “well it depends how close they were” so it was smart of them to fill us in.

“those baby-makin’ catholics”

6:45 Patton has clearly thought through a lot of possible outcomes to talking to Lee and Mary Lee before going to the wedding... he never brought them up, even when Roman did and then Deceit did. But he’s bringing up points no one had addressed, and I think that’s a great way to put more intensity to Patton’s apology to Thomas for lying back in SvS pt 1. He hid a lot more than he let on. Man, how much guilt is this poor man feeling right now? :(

“Talking about it could have been harmful” I’m very intrigued by the parallels between Patton wanting to keep things from Thomas’ friends to protect their feelings in this episode and SvS, and Deceit disguised as Patton in CLBG trying to get Thomas to... keep things from his friend to protect their feelings...

WOAH “But was it worth it? I don’t--” “No.” Thomas cutting Roman off with that much certainty DAMN Thomas REGRETS going to the wedding HARD and also is agreeing with Roman finally??

Patton: “sometimes you can make all the good choices, and still not get the good ending.” Thomas: “I’m not even sure there was a good ending to get.” Roman: “Mmmm, I’m pretty sure there was.” There is so much to unpack here oh my gosh.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT??? DAMN THOMAS CAME FOR PATTON WHAT ON EARTH??? Patton: “I think we can all agree that you are a good fellow.” Thomas: Can we? ALL? Agree on that?” Patton: *sputtering noises*

Poor Patton... I mean they’re right but gosh I feel for him. He wants so badly for Thomas to be a good person and he realizes now how strict and unyielding he’s been, and wants to not do that but doesn’t know how to be more lenient without sacrificing integrity cause that’s his JOB and he doesn’t know how to do it better aaaa this is such a mood

MUSIC IS THERE ANOTHER SONG COMING?

Return of the bagel. Except this time it’s Roman guessing/wanting the bagel and Patton being like “what? no?”

ok not a song but video game style is back!!

“ugh you’re such a dad” I love it

Patton just made more puns and Roman omg “Like, you’re SUCH a dad that like it’s too much to handle sometimes”

I am loving this whole scene jdfhjadshg Patton ily and I relate

Thomas and Roman teaching Patton how to come up with imaginary scenarios skjfklsjdfh

Sondheim wrecking Leslie Odom Jr is such a hilarious visual

Ok all three of them are peak dumbass and I’m so here for it (like they’re smart and all but they’re peak dumbass)

Daaaamn Patton is letting out so much this episode. Like he’s been holding back but wowie. R: “Just like how you didn’t HAVE to give him a hotdog” P: *sucks air through his teeth* “I feel like you kinda do though?” YES PLEASE let’s discuss the concept of obligation in morality again!!! Where’s Logan when you need him? Or Deceit even? (I feel like D’s gonna show up later but I wanna hear Logan’s thoughts this time too)

Patton: You can disagree! But... it’d kinda be wrong?

LOGAN POPUP! Ok fine if he isn’t in the ep at least he pops up in a lil dialogue box on screen. Also he popped up to support Patton... neat!

“It’s just me, Logan. I’ve taken this form because I didn’t want to be too...invasive.” POOR LOGAN NO YOU’RE NOT INVADING ANYTHING YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE HERE! Also Roman getting scared by the popup while Patton just waves happily like he always does upon seeing Logan aww

Okay I am getting serious DOPAMINE from Logan talking. Like, he’s spittin’ FACTS. Something about the way he talks is so interesting and soothing and makes me so excited to LEARN. Roman mockingly mouthing ‘behoove’ had me snort though XD

LOGAN AND I WERE IN UNISON HELL YEAH! Patton was all like ooh you’re sharing your lil factoids! And Logan and I at the same time corrected, “Facts,” and proceeded to state the definition of factoids (we worded it differently but yeah as usual Logan is on my wavelength)

Logan’s sprite getting so disappointed at Thomas’ interruption joke jgdkjghks he looks so DONE

OML I LOVE LOGAN’S DIALOGUE BOX TALKING TOO FAST FOR THEM TO READ THIS IS SO ACCURATE

Oof Thomas finally feeling like he GETS it and Patton being like yeah but not if you’re doing it bc you want to feel good tho... (also that’s the same argument Deceit made in SvS pt1??? I’m confused by Patton/Deceit’s functions lately and I’m very invested)

Oh ok Thomas just brought up that very point haha

“we all agreed the right thing to do was go to the wedding” um are u sure about that

“I was wrong” PATTON CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?? I know Logan has the reputation of not being able to admit when he’s wrong (which isn’t true -- he doesn’t like to but he has done so countless times...well not literally countless but you understand my meaning), but Patton rarely is in a situation where he has to, so this is jarring in a hopefully good way. Istg if this is Deceit disguised as Patton again I’ll be so disappointed... I feel like the writers wouldn’t do that though

Patton: says smth deceit said. Roman: and you...agree? Patton: Definitely! I mean uh maybe? (WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE PATTON’S HEAD RN SO MUCH TURMOIL)

Roman: “I’m not an expert in the... moral medium” Thomas: “Go ahead Roman, we wanna hear what you have to say.” Patton: *halfhearted gestures and noises for roman to go ahead* jashfjdh he’s trying so hard

AWWWW they’re validating Roman so much I love it

“whomstsoever” ok I take it back roman’s not valid

I adore Logan’s popup fun facts, and him giving definitions for Roman’s vocabulary reminds me how much the two of them love writing and poetry and language aaaa

Patton trying not to be harsh is somehow 10x harsher than he normally is

oh wow that got real.

I know I’ve said this but I love logan’s insertions... but I do wish he got to say them out loud like earlier :/ Pausing to read them is less fun than hearing him talk.

oh wow that got real part 2

I want. So badly. To jump into this video and debate Patton on the nature of morality and what “the right thing is.” Roman you’re not being dumb, you’re bringing up excellent points and you’re valid again.

Oh no Patton... empathy is not morality... please please address that there are people who can’t experience empathy and choose to be moral and good

THE TROLLEY PROBLEM HERE! WE! GO!

Logan’s popups bc he doesn’t want to “be too invasive” and making them optional to read hurts my heart :( He knows Patton, Roman, and Thomas aren’t reading any of it but he doesn’t want to be too much so he stays silent. Why?? Logan it’s okay! Why is this a thing now but not in the last 2 episodes? What happened to Logan :(

OOOOOOH Patton didn’t flip the switch :o Interesting! Daaaamn he’s arguing to let 5 people die rather than flip the switch so only one dies

LOGAN’S TEXTBOX WAS SO BIG AND FAST IT KNOCKED PATTON OVER I CANNOT BREATHE hang on I gotta read it

HE’S TALKING ABOUT DEONTOLOGY YES LOGAN THANK YOU FOR TELLING PATTON WHAT I PHYSICALLY CANNOT please tell me you’ll talk about utilitarianism and moral particularism next

Okay he used consequentialism but it’s close enough to utilitarianism that the outcome is the same. (Do you get it? Do you like my joke about how the outcome is most important? When we’re talking about-- oh you got it already? Good, moving on.)

DID ROMAN JUST FJCKING KILL LOGAN

“I’m okay, figment of your imagination, so.” Okay so CAN the Sides get hurt or can’t they?? Cause Patton clearly got bonked, roman got hit in the eye with paper and said ow, but logan got hit in the head with a throwing star and had his teeth ripped out and he was totally fine?

Thomas is being so HONEST with himself so early in the episode, wow this is refreshing and I’m hype

AW YAY Patton called textbox Logan in to help with philosophy yay :’)

Logan: “Pity seems to be at the center of your idea of ‘putting good into the world’” first, Logan doing a voice impression of Nietzsche is GOLD, and second.... I wish they’d let him finish cause I was waiting for a “but” cause Logan siding with Nietzsche on this one feels... wrong? Like I could see Dee bringing it up or Logan using it in an argument only to continue with a contradicting philosophy but Logan equating empathy to pity... idk I thought he’d grown more than to think that :/ Actually I don’t think he ever saw it that way. It feels out of character but I’m guessing he had more to say to debunk that.

HOLY SHIT PATTON SKIPPED ALL THE REST OF LOGAN’S DIALOGUE AND YEETED HIM OFF THE SCREEN bruh he may have been right and he should’ve gotten to say it >:(

ROMAN ISTG DO NOT TRY AND MAKE THIS YOUR FAULT

I SAID DON’T

GODDAMMIT

sjfkdjgjsh okay aww Thomas good job, Patton too. Thank god they’re being nice to him

Patton is having a breakdown holy heckity about time

damn Patton is freaking HARSH

“I have a difference in opinion on this one, Patton” Thomas: *relieved sigh whisper* “ohhh thank you, Logan” YES APPRECIATE THE BOY YES YES I LOVE HIM why are they looking around like he isn’t making sense?

LOGAN YES! CALL HIM OUT! LET THOMAS VALUE HIMSELF AND PUT HIMSELF FIRST SOMETIMES! “Every point you’ve made in today’s discussion has contradicted that sentiment.” I love you but also you sound a lil like deceit... very lawyer-y and feels calculated like he’s been keeping notes for this purpose... I want deceit and logan to debate already damn it. Maybe it’s just that Logan’s inflections feel reminiscent of Deceit to show...something?

Ok can I just say that Logan gets so much rep for his strictness or high standards but he’s been SO GOOD about that lately and him teaching about the importance of leisure and self-care and freedom in your life and self-esteem and valuing yourself like you do with others... not even just this video -- he’s been like this in the last few as well and these recent episodes remind me of early Logan (esp My Negative Emotions) and that makes my heart so so happy.

Continuation of the above, compare this to how Logan acted in Why Bed? with regards to Roman. Roman advocated for leisure time and following dreams, while Logan had a schedule that optimized productivity and health. Now he’s taking a similar stance to Roman and asserting the importance of these things... WHY is so much of Logan’s character development OFFSCREEN?? I wanna know what made him switch on this! Maybe just cause he’s listening to roman from why bed?

Why is Logan being so abrasive? He sounds like his intent is more to disprove Patton rather than state what he actually thinks... not a fan of that but he’s not wrong

WOAH WOAH TOTAL PATTON BREAKDOWN WHAT HAPPENED WHAT THE FCK HE’S A LITERAL MONSTER IN THIS VIDEO GAME?

OH, MY GOD. If Logan didn’t step in and save them here this would have been catastrophic. I can feel my relief. I mean, he screamed, but it was a relief. WAIT IT WAS DECEIT THE WHOLE TIME??? Daaaamn good job on this one Deceit and I definitely like him more now but also WHERE IS LOGAN. Was it the whole time? That makes sense in hindsight and makes me feel better about some things he’s brought up but I feel like it really was Logan at the start, it wasn’t until he started calling out patton that his voice and inflection and stuff changed

Patton trying to attack Deceit and hitting Thomas instead was an EXCELLENT way to showcase the effect SvS 1 and 2 are having

Deceit’s lil “A DUH DUH DUH DOY” looked and sounded just like Logan’s lmao don’t tell me it’s another switcheroo (I doubt it greatly lol)

REAL LOGAN REAL LOGAN REAL LOGAN

So wait what was the point that Deceit switched with Logan? Cause Logan’s saying “one more fact” so he was himself earlier right?

“Not that any of you care, but I am unharmed.” Nooooo they care </3 “I will do you all a favor and spare you my company” okay OUCH

EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM YES aw he’s talking about him and patton working together yes thank you

Damn, Deceit is LOVING everything Logan says haha same

Logan and Deceit teaming up to teach Patton that it’s okay to care about yourself

DECEIT WHAT he’s being so supportive of Roman holy heck this is so genuine OH Roman’s arguing with it this is a lot of stuff I didn’t expect roman to say out loud wow

THOMAS JUST SAID DECEIT THE CHARACTER ISN’T INHERENTLY UNETHICAL WOW this episode really said let’s make Deceit--

WAIT WOAH SORRY HIS NAME REVEAL!!! He’s Janice?? Is that true?

WAIT WOAH PART 2 BUT DECEIT JUST SAID IF IT WEREN’T FOR THE MUSTACHE HE WOULDN’T KNOW WHO THE EVIL TWIN IS BETWEEN ROMAN AND REMUS HOLY SHIT HE ACTUALLY LOOKED VULNERABLE AND THEN HURT AND THEN RIGHT BACK TO SNAKE

ROMAN’S GONE

fuck.... patton...roman....deceit....thomas....logan....I’m gonna go cry about all of them now

LESLIE ODOM JR IS HERE??????? oh there he goes

patton oh my god I love you this ANGST are you trying to kill me?

Patton telling thomas he’s worthy of love I actually teared up

Ao3 Link

“A wheelchair?” Logan baffles, he doesn't understand but Patton does. His mind already races quickly and goes over everything he’ll need to adjust for his lifestyle. He can hear Logan shooting questions towards the doctor but he can't focus on the deep set panic. How will he make his commute, take his children to school, oh my how may he present himself in court? “I simply do not understand doctor” Logan finishes

“I know its a difficult situation but it seems as though his injuries could worsen if we allow him to return to his normal life instantly it could have detrimental effects” He explains, Patton takes Logan's hand comfortingly, kissing it sweetly.”This is a precaution of the most vital need, he will attend physical therapy and we will make sure he is in top shape.” Logan huffs, a disappointed scowl. Patton gives an apologetic look to the doctor, he takes his cue. “Ill leave you two to discuss”

“Lo..” Patton ushers, Logan sits himself on the bed, in front of Patton. “I want to be able to hold my kids, I want to walk through the courtroom, I want to be able to…” He feels the ring around his finger, Logan had returned it almost as soon as Patton had awakened. “I want to be able to walk down the aisle” He smiles. Logan chuckles, though still restrained he understood.

“Alright...Alright” He nods, Patton gives him a grin. His hand places itself carefully on the lawyer's chest as Logan pulls him in for a kiss. “Now to more grim matters…” He proposes, Patton sighs averting his eyes. The room had been severely decorated by Emile. Who wanted nothing more than the father to feel at home. At his bedside table were three framed photos. The first was of Patton and the children on the day of their adoption, he held the twins with vibrant tears in his eyes. The second was of Patton and Logan, a photographer had taken it while the pair had danced at the gala. The third however, he wished for it to be taken away, Virgil and him smiling exhausted as their children climbed them happily. That used to be his most treasured photo….

Used to be

Now the sight of Virgil conjured the worst of stomachaches and the most confusion. He shook it out of his head allowing Logan to kiss him on his forehead but he kept facing away.

“We will discuss it at a later time” Logan allows, Patton nods feeling his eyes grow heavy with exhaustion, listening to Logan's farewell. “I'm going to go and get you some food”

“Jamahl!” Patton yells, he serves the children already sitting at the table, happily bouncing for breakfast. Terrance flaps excited as Remus and Valerie chow down quickly. Patton huffs rubbing his hands on his apron. “Jamahl breakfast! Lets go!” Patton attempts again, Logan chuckles coyly taking Patton in for a gentle kiss on his cheek.

“Good morning busy bees” Logan greets, a kiss to each of their foreheads. Patton cleans, finally the kitchen looks untouched. And yet as Logan reads his paper, the children discuss in chatters, one piece is missing. Patton taps annoyed, he checks his watch once more. “Something bothering you love?” Logan inquires, washing away his cup.

“I have to get the children to school, Terrence to daycare and I have a court case” Patton lists, he looks to the stairs that lead up. “Jamahl!” He calls again, Logan takes him from behind, leaning his head on his husband's shoulder. “What on earth is he up to?” The clock buzzes giving neither time to answer. “Crap I've gotta go”

“I'll get him to school, you take the three musketeers,” Logan promises, his hand moving down Patton's arm while his pinky interlaces itself with Pattons. A quick squeeze before a blushed Patton rushes to get the children on their way.

“Wakey wakey Patton” A cold voice shivered down Patton's already sweaty back. He yawns sitting up, rubbing his blurred vision as he reaches for his glasses. Soon enough his blinking pays and he wishes it had not. “Feeling better cupcake?”

“Feel like i'm going to vomit” Patton replies, a scowl returns to his face. Liam smirks taking a spot at the end of the bed. “Why are you here?” He asks for what seems the millionth time. Liam inches closer, and for a moment Patton can just seem himself return to his sinking self. Liam could take his cheeks right now and Patton fears his own control. Thank god for his fiancee

What a stranger idea

Fiancee

He couldn't help but blush

“Liam, I'm going to give a single millisecond to remove yourself from the premises” Logan announces, Patton bites his lower lip. Liam nods but stands. “Go on now, coward”

“Actually I dont think I want to” Liam chuckles, Patton swears things moved too quickly. Logan grabs his collar, delicately but hes pinned now on the wall. “What the hell! Get off of me!”

Huh

Weird

That was Patton's line

“Get out and leave Patton and his childr-”

“Our!” Patton corrects “Our children” he smiles, Logan refuses the intense urge to grin but nods.

”-Our children alone” He makes the change, proudly. Liam groans, finally getting the clearly superior man off of him. He gives Patton one more glare before disappearing. Logan wipes his hands, sanitizing. Patton falls back on his pillow laughing. “What? I don't like him” Logan sits.

“You and me both dearest” Patton sighs, he stretches his arms gladly taking Logans water. “Hey” His tone softens, he reaches for Logans more than ready hand. “I want kids” He admits, Logan retracts, sucking in.

“I hate to inform you but you already do” Logan teases “Two in fact” Patton turns to his shoulder laughing, Logan would never get tired of that. Patton tugged carefully, Logan takes his lay next to him. He wraps him up, they lounge comfortably.

“I want more” He finds Logans fingers, interlacing them carefully. “With you” He requests, Logan lets out a sweet breath, kissing gently on the nape of Patton's neck. “I know we have the twins, and I love them more than anything, but I want more kids...i want a-”

“Family” Logan completes

~~~

“Talk to me Logan!” Virgil grabs the lawyers arms, the fuming rage he faces terrifies him. “Please just let me explain”

“You dont get it do you? There is no explanation” Logan faces him. “Thats it, nothing is justifiable ok?”

“It was for Damian! I had just gotten him, I was young and stupid and wanted to make sure my kid was ok! I have never felt so much shame in my life but I needed it” Virgil rushes, Logan keeps his face cold but he knows in a heartbeat Patton would figure Virgil.

“And Remy?” But before Virgil can answer his face resolves “Emiles surgery…” Virgil nods, shuffling his feet on the ground. “Still, you shouldn't have taken the money, there were other ways...other solutions. You're just lucky that Patton was able to get out of that situation.” Logan tries his hardest to remain calm, his breath quivers but he musnt. “But what would have happened if Patton had not, if he had stayed?”

“I know that! Look, don't tell Patton, I need him to forgive me in his own time...I don't want him to know why...he's too forgiving and he has every right to be upset but I needed you to understand” Logan nods, he still has his duvidas. “But Logan....why do you care so much if we took the money?”

“Because I didn't Virgil” Logan reveals, the detective's heart drops. Of course it was a stupid question in the first place, it was Patton, it was a bribe. “I had a case, we had a case. We could have gotten him out of there. But then strangely two of my testimonies dropped out” Logan shook his hand, grunting. “I don't want to talk about this, or talk to you, or anything” He takes his coffees disappearing behind Patton's room. “Hey”

“Hi!” Patton smiles, the twins giggle from their hiding spot. Logan keeps his eyes forward however, as if nothing was heard. “I can't seem to find the twins, would you care to help me my love?” Logan breaths, a cheeky smirk .

“I suppose I can, I wouldn't want our children to disappear” He laments, soon the door opens and they both rush into Logan's arms.

“No dada!” They cry, he kneels hugging them tight. Patton watches from his bed, his heart couldn't comprehend this. Was this real? Logan carries the kids to the bed, all four of them. A happy family...their happy family. His…

“You alright honeybee?” Logan whispers as the twins focus their energy on the tv. Patton nods, cradling himself into Logan's chest, the twins following into their fathers. “You look sad”

“No no...far from it” He promises, kissing Logan. “Are you? I heard some frustrated voices outside” Patton fiddles with Valerie's hair, braiding it gently. “Sounded like Virgil…”

“Not right now Pat” Logan assures “We are here, together and…” He falters, Patton turns him. He wipes away the newly freshened tears. “I apologize Patton, it seems I am overwhelmed at the moment” Logan admits, Patton purses his lip struggling to reach the tissues. “I love you”

“And I you”

~~~

“Alright shithead, fucker, pile of trash-”

“Virgil” Remy kicks him under the table, the detective glares. “Liam” Remy seethes. “You want to tell me where you were approximately an hour after the situation was diffused?”

“I was behind the barricade, the doctors were checking me” Liam concludes, Virgil kicks the chair. He knows as soon as he checks with the emergency response team, Liam would be on their record. He may be a flaming pile of trash but he isn't a killer.

“You're free to go” Virgil bites his lip, feeling his skin almost chew off.

“And I didnt even have to pay you this time” Liam snarls, Remy holds Virgil back while Liam makes his way out.

“Argh!” Virgil pounds, Remy signals for the rest of the team to leave from behind their one way mirror. “I'm so sick of him beating us! Always beating the goddamn system!” Virgil huffs, Remy's hand placed on his back for support. “I shouldnt have done it, we shouldnt have taken the fucking money Remy”

“I know...I know..I know I know-”

“Stop it!” Virgil slaps the table “Just...I have to go” Virgil grunts.

“Patton?” Virgil knocks “Pat? Ready to-” Virgil pauses listening to the grunts

“Shut it or ill stuff-” The voice pauses “Whos there?” The detective recognizes the disgusting voice of the slimy intoxicating man. Liam.

“Its Virgil, Pat and I have a lunch date” He knocks once more, quiet but annoyed shuffling can be heard before the door opens up. Patton whimpers on the couch, his beagle Molly comforting him, the twins safely away at his sisters. “Are you ready to go?” He addresses. The lawyer coughs, clearly wiping something away from his face. He stands, plastering a fake smile. Virgil sees the bruise, he sees it and he goes towards Liam as Patton gets into his car. “WHat the hell did you do?” He accuses

“Now now detective, remember that information is not for you...not anymore” His sly smile turns Virgil's stomach. “If I do recall, a hundred grand being placed in yours and detective Nyx’s name sealed that”

For damian

For me…

He felt sick

~~~

“You're not giving me much choice” Roman sighs,Logan smirks, rolling his eyes. The pair make their way from the cafeteria, holding three trays of food. Logans, Romans and of course Pattons. The breeze was chilly as the doors would swirl open every now and then. Roman enjoyed this moment, right now, everything was fine. Everything was ok.

“You alright?” Logan asks, turning the corner, he smiles politely to the nurses and doctors who rush by.

“I'm doing alright for myself specs” Roman catches himself in the bliss. James, Patton, his job, his friends...everything was alright. Pattons room was just up ahead, he could make out two figures. James must have beaten them to it. His phone buzzes in his coat, he holds them up for a moment. “Roman Reial!”

“Ro?” It was soft, almost a squeak but he knew who was on the other line. Virgil.

“What is it?” He felt commanding, a fierce tone as he demands an answer. He could hear the sniffles, the desperation and he softened. “Virge?” He whispered.

“I...I need to talk to you please” He begs, Roman could feel the heat rise. Logan furrows his brows but allows them to continue the conversation. “Just later? A-at some point?”

“Sure, yeah, of course” He rushes, the phone falls into his pocket. Had he hung up? Thank god he hadn't. They approach the door, swinging it open with charm. “Alright we hav-” His heart fell flat, the scene couldn't have played out like this. “James” Roman barely breathes

“That does appear to be my name” The judge says, Logans lips tremble angrily

“And you do appear to be pointing a gun at my fiance” Logan growls

“Well he just won't die” James claims, a quick click.

The safety's off

Fic “Behind the Scenes” - Alex Rider

Trying to dip my toes back into writing, so I thought I’d ramble about some fics I’ve already written! This started off as ranting about my title choice and how they’re usually Final Fantasy XIV songs I butcher in order to forcibly fit the fic, but it expanded into musings about things that didn’t make the cut into the final fic, and potential sequels/things that happen down the line.

Just doing Alex Rider fics for now since that’s my current active fandom, but drop me an ask if there are any fics you’re especially interested in from any fandom!

Starting off with: Time (2368 words, gen, Alex & Yassen focused) aka my untagged Inception-flavoured AU where the plot twist was that it was a dream all along That said, this title was probably one of the easiest to come up with and was obviously from the main theme of Inception, Time! Which is fantastic like the whole movie aaaa i love Inception AUs and this fic is probably the one I’m most likely to expand into longfic if I dredge up the motivation from somewhere. It would be a mission style fic, possibly a heist, where Alex and Yassen are seemingly working together in order to steal some valuable intel from another group. Of course, it’s all a dream! Through copious dream symbolism and mind fuckery the real mission was set up by MI6 for Alex to extract intel from Yassen, who by this point is steadily losing his grip on dreams and reality after months, possibly years, spent under sedation.

Yassen has a few tricks up his sleeve, though. He’s aware that he’s (probably) dreaming and he can see the fractures in Alex’s resolve after such a long time of being used and manipulated by MI6. It would only take a little nudge to get Alex to defect -- or, at the very least, to escape.

So while Alex is busy trying to extract information from Yassen, Yassen is trying to do the opposite: inception.

The rest below cut for length and also because they’re nsfw since most of my writing was for the kink meme! Warning for general fucked-upness and unhealthy relationships

at the end, on a dusty road (8154 words, Yassen/Alex) aka the reputation sabotage fic, aka where’s part 3b?!

Title from Origa’s Polyushka Polye:

The wind scatters your brave songs Across the green field. Songs of the past, Leaving them alone with your glory, And right at the end, on a dusty road…

i just wanted something wistful and Russian about past soldiers and fading glory ok....... I came pretty close to titling the fic leaving them alone with your past glory but decided it didn’t make much sense out of context.

ANYWAY my first Yalex fic! Very much inspired by a hodgepodge of comments on Discord about how MI6 would react if they ever saw Yassen paying Alex visits in the middle of the night - “Could they be exchanging information?” “The whole night? Maybe the answer is something more obvious...”

ANYWAY the ending at the moment is pretty open - there’s two main ways I see it going:

1) Yassen comes back shortly afterwards, realises he had fucked up colossally, stays and helps Alex rebuild even though Alex (very justifiably) no longer trusts him. Very slow reconciliation and healing but ultimately happy ending.

2) aka the one where I broke Nanibun’s shipper heart over Discord: Alex and Yassen eventually reunite, but it isn’t until years later, when Alex is nearing middle age and Yassen has faded into obscurity. Alex managed to pick up the pieces of his life and even moved on properly from MI6, and now lives a fulfilling life. Married, 2.5 kids, white picket fence, the whole lot. So what if his marriage is more for partnership than for love? He’s content with the direction his life had taken and has strong ties to his community. He even managed to forgive Yassen, even though it took him a long time.

He and Yassen meet for the last time in a sunlit cafe in spring. Alex looks at Yassen and sees only a stranger with lines crinkling under his eyes.Yassen is getting old, he realizes. He thinks he should be happy that Yassen even had the chance to get old, but all he feels is relief that their paths had diverged. Alex is done with that life and he can never trust Yassen again. All that old passion had burned away to nothing, not even a flickering flame. Even though the initial parting had been painful, Alex had managed to find peace long ago, and he hopes Yassen will be able to do the same. But it's a distant, unemotional hope, the sort of hope you'd have for a distant acquaintance you haven't seen in years. The type of well wishes that are etiquette more than actual sentiment.

He's glad when their drinks are finished and Yassen melts away into the chattering springtime crowd, one final dangling chapter of his life closed at last.

...............or, 3) Alex throws himself into increasingly dangerous situations in an attempt to feel something and dies young.

(part 3b is coming someday i swear! it’s the alternate path where Yassen has second thoughts, tells Alex the truth, and doesn’t send the sex tape to MI6)

---

Lemniscate (3562 words, Julia Rothman/Yassen) Not a whole lot to say about this one, except after I finished I realised it was really similar to another fic I previously wrote which also involved a young man desperate to reinvent himself completely being taken advantage of by his superior............ i have a Type

Title - I was jamming out to Locus while writing this which is a song all about an inability to escape from cycles - When fighting back right out of this system/Means falling back right into this space ; When falling back is better than simply/Falling back into pieces again - but it was long and unwieldy so I thought about shortening it to Moebius but that was a bit overdone... In the end I settled with Lemniscate which is also an infinity symbol, Moebius-like shape. Mostly it’s a reference to how Yassen never quite breaks free of his “cycle” even though he’s with Scorpia now - he was Sharkovsky’s slave and bedwarmer and...now he plays basically the same role for Julia Rothman. (Just with a bit more murder and moral erosion!)

---

This probably needs a special content warning - major character death (gun suicide from the second Russian roulette scene), gore, necrophilia

closing the circle (3650 words, John Rider & Yassen) aka is it still a gen fic if there’s offscreen necrophilia?

This was originally written for a kink meme prompt for corpse mutilation + necrophilia but then the John and Yassen plot thread kind of took over and I never actually ended up writing the gory stuff oops since it was too out of place compared to the rest. So everything below can be considered not “canon” since the fic diverged so heavily from its original plan (which is why the section numbers skip around - I cut out Yassen’s bits). But if you’re curious, here’s the details for what I originally planned to happen to Yassen (well, his corpse) and the Sharkovsky family, copy-pasted straight from my notes and full of as much karma as I could stuff in:

Yassen’s death, Sharkovsky shoves his fingers in the bullet hole and spits on the body in disgust. Yassen regains consciousness halfway through this; he can feel what Sharkovsky is doing

Ivan comes running in, attracted by the sound of the gunshot. Sharkovsky tells him to do what he likes with the body as long as it’s disposed of in the end. Necrophilia scene? Afterwards Ivan disposes of the body by locking it in the cellar alone with the Dalmatian for a few days

Yassen starts getting his revenge. Ivan is the first to go when he comes to let the Dalmatian out – the Dalmatian savages him and tears out his throat before it’s finally shot. Yassen’s bones get buried along with the Dalmatian. Ivan’s body is kept in the cold storage room in the basement where they kept the old food taster’s body while they decide what to do with him.

Maya, Sharkovsky’s wife, is next. She passes away in the middle of the night. Sharkovsky wakes up next to a cooling corpse.

There are whispers that there is some sort of curse. One of the maids talk about finding blood on the carpet of Sharkovsky’s study. She’s the next to disappear. Some other workers stop turning up.

Finally it’s Sharkovsky’s turn. He dies of poison. The dacha burns down that same night.

A Scorpia agent was sent to tie up loose ends (Scorpia didn’t know Sharkovsky is already dead); Yassen kills him too. He has no loyalty to Scorpia and just wants to be left alone.

Hunter is sent to investigate. He and Yassen talk, in the end, Hunter invites Yassen to come with him, Yassen agrees. But when they leave the dacha and Hunter looks back, he finds that Yassen is gone.

And an excerpt:

Yassen is dead. He does not remember dying. There are some things the human mind tries to shield itself from, and the memory of a bullet traveling through bone and brain to erupt on the other side in a shower of gore is one of those things.

Yassen is dead. He had hoped death would mean oblivion. At his most naïve and optimistic, he had hoped death would mean reunion. Happiness. A return to simpler days.

He discovers, instead, that death is not so different from life, except he is even more powerless now than before.

There is a body on the floor of Sharkovsky’s study. Its hair had once been pale white-blond, but now it is matted with coagulating blood. That same blood spreads in a dark pool against the carpet, clotting the fibres together into ugly clumps, stiff and flaking. The fire in the hearth is still burning sullenly. Its light glistens against the grotesque strands of viscera splattered against the ground, the furniture, the wall. A round hole had been punched into the side of the corpse’s head, piercing bone and brain. That was how the man who had once been Yassen Gregorovich had killed himself. The fingers of the corpse remain loosely curled around the old-fashioned revolver that had been the instrument of death.

The only living person in the room rises slowly from his wheelchair. Sharkovsky’s skeletal face is twisted into an ugly grimace of anger. He totters over to the corpse, nudging it with the tip of one polished leather shoe. “Waste of time,” he says coldly. “Ruining a perfectly good carpet, and for what?”

In a sudden fit of temper, he lashes out with a kick. Once, it would have been strong enough to break several ribs (Yassen knows from intimate experience). Now, the corpse merely flops limply to one side. It incenses Sharkovsky further. He drops heavily to his knees, breathing harshly, and backhands the corpse across the face with one shaking hand.

“taehee’s birthday special

— again, english is italicized

“hellooooooo ( ^ω^ )”

it’s ty track!!! and he’s sitting on an office chair in some kind of conference room

“today is...january 17”

“we’re actually preparing for our comeback but today’s our day off,,,so i thought we should do something special for taehee’s birthday!!”

“it’s not her birthday today, but come to think of it, we never did something really special for her on her birthday”

“her birthday’s two days after christmas, so either we’re super busy, or at home with our families. even as trainees we didn’t get to celebrate properly with her”

taeyong’s looking down and there’s like a guilty aura around him

it makes czennies’ hearts hurt

“we brought her out to restaurants and she’s told us countless times of how she’s greatful for it,,,but i just thought we should give her something more special”

then his mouth lifts up into a smile as if he’s trying to lighten the mood up

“we were watching this movie one time and there was like a big party held for the main lead,,it was like a coming of age party- what was it called again? cotillion? is it cotillion?,” then he brings his phone out to check

“so it’s called a cotillion!! and i was sitting next to her and i heard that she kept mumbling how pretty and cute it was”

taeyong mimicked her, “she was like ‘ahh that’s so pretty”

“‘i kinda want one’ she said”

“so yesterday i thought, ‘oh? we can do a special party for taehee tomorrow!!’”

“like i mentioned, today’s our free day,,ah most of us. taehee had an early schedule today but that’s it and she has the rest of the day off (*^_^*)”

“she doesn’t know anything about this at all hehe”

then taeyong stands up and walks out of the room, and the only thing you can see is the ceiling and the bottom of his face

“i was in the conference room just to talk but..we’re going to the practice room and you’ll see how excited everyone is”

then before you can even see the practice room you could already hear the chaos in it

“YA HAECHAN THAT’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!”

“SHE LIKES IT BETTER THIS WAY!”

“TAEIL HYUNG I THINK YOU SHOULD DANCE”

“JUNGWOO COME HERE!”

“ARE WE REALLY WEARING SUITS?”

“WE NEED TO STICK TO THE CONCEPT, MARK. IT’S THE VIBE YOU GOTTA GO WITH THE FLOW”

taeyong laughs at them, “see?”

and everyone’s all over the place

haechan and doyoung are fixing the letter balloons on the wall, along with the fairy lights underneath them

jaehyun and jungwoo are in the corner writing some speech for the party

yuta’s also writing on a banner but in a different corner

johnny scattering rose petals around the room

then taeil beckons jungwoo over near the speaker to work on a dance number

and mark is standing in the middle of it all in a phase of confusion before running out of the room, “I NEED TO GET A GUITAR”

the camera points back to taeyong, “honestly, we didn’t put that much thought into the planning and just went for it,” he giggles

“AS LONG AS ITS FROM THE HEART,” johnny passes by and sprinkles petals on taeyong, making him laugh

he walks over to doyoung who has his hands on his hips, “how’s it going here?”

“hAECHAN WONT LISTEN TO ME! HE KEEPS INSISTING TO PUT ‘BIRTHDAY HAPPY’ INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL WAY. WHY DID I HAVE TO GO WITH HIM INSTEAD OF PREPARING THE SPEECH WITH JAEHYUN??”

“SHE’S GONNA LIKE THIS MORE THAN PLAIN BORING ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY’!!! WHAT ARE WE? AMATEURS??”

“BUT ITS GONNA RUIN THE MOOD”

taeyong walks away from them, smiling, and moves over to taeil and jungwoo by the speaker, “how bout you guys? what are you up to?”

“actually, we haven’t found a song...yet,” taeil points to the camera, “but it’s gonna blow your mind”

jungwoo makes an explosion noise for added effect, then realizes taeyong was filming

“oh are you filming? hello, taehee!!,” he says in aegyo, “i love you very very very much and i hope you like this surprise!! mwah ٩(^‿^)۶”

taeyong calls jungwoo cute before moving on to the next person, jung jaehyun

“how long is it now?”

“i’ve got one paragraph in but it’s just short, really. jungwoo and i put some cheesy lines in there because you know how much she loves those”

“really? give me one,” taeyong moves the camera closer to jaehyun and the latter licks his lips and runs his hand through his hair

“people say the happiest place on earth is disneyland,” he read from the paper, “but clearly, they haven’t been next to you”

“EYYYY,” taeyong cheers, “isn’t it too corny though? HAHAHA”

“the fact that it is would make her like it more,” jaehyun says confidently

“alright,” the older laughs, “okay, our last stop...yuta!!!”

he sets the camera on the floor and you see yuta’s concentrated face directed towards the banner, sharpie marker in hand

“are you almost done?,” taeyong asks, sitting beside him

“not really, i still need to make it prettier”

“what did you write?,” taeyong lets out a hearty laugh before yuta even answers, making the latter chuckle too

“ahh you guys are so cheesy with this- are you sure we’re not going too overboard?”

“when it comes to taehee, nothing is ever overboard. that girl laughs at anything, really”

then video cuts to them working and finishing on the banner

you hear a guitar being strummed here and there, mark must be back in the room

a few cuts of the video shows taeyong and yuta drawing on the banner, while jungwoo and hyuck make their appearance just to make faces on the camera

you hear the door opening and it immediately catches yuta and taeyong’s attention

“taehee’s done with her shoot, she’s on the way here right now. you have about 30 minutes,” must be their manager

there was a slight commotion behind cam while taeyong’s getting all giddy and bouncing on the floor, “aaaa we need to get this done”

video cuts to haechan in a black tuxedo, somewhere in a makeup room, “this is haechan of haechan cam with 37.5% viewer ratings ( ^ω^ )”

mark complains in the background but hyuck ignores him anyway

“as you can see, we’re all wearing suits because we’re going to hold a cotillion? cotillion for taehee”

he shows off his suit and he looks so good in it he slays every outfit haechan model wbk

mark wanders into frame and poses too

jungwoo joins in and he and hyuck do weird poses, making mark laugh loudly and hit them

the scene is cut to taeyong, now wearing his tux and walking to the middle of the room

“okay guys gather around! let’s go through the plan one last time”

they all stand around taeyong, although they have heard this plan about once or twice, they’re still attentive to listen

“taehee walks through that door and taeil hyung is the only one in the room, holding a rose- you all have your roses right?”

“yESsSS”

“okay, music is already a given so taeil hyung will dance with her first, alright?”

“let’s give a minute or two for you guys to say anything you wanna say to her while you dance,” doyoung cuts in

“great, that’s a nice idea! anyways, uhh we go by age order, meaning haechan is last. haechannie, when the music stops you blindfold her and lead her to the conference room, got it?”

the blindfold part makes mark laugh, “is that really necessary?”

“for the effect mark, it’s for the effect,” johnny tells him

“so right after we dance with her we head to the conference room, right?,” yuta asks taeyong

“yes. so when they’re in the conference room already, haechan takes the blindfold off and then mark you’re playing the guitar, right? i think it would be nice if that would be our opening”

“oh okay okay”

“then after mark plays his song, taeil and jungwoo’s dance?”

“and me, i’m doing it with them”

“jOHNNY HYUNG LEARNED THE DANCE?”

“no, we should have jaehyun’s speech first, then the dance,” that’s doyoung again

i need me some dotae content so bad

“okay, so speech first then the dance. after the dance, she blows the cake? and then closing remarks?”

“i think mark and haechan should make a speech”

hyuck: sure (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))♡

mark: w-what (°_°)

“okay, mark and haechan speech!,” taeyong laughs and shakes his head because of how this is sooooo not planned

but it’s nct they’ll pull it off

“then doyoung does the closing remarks”

“wait then what are you and yuta doing?”

they were the last ones to get in their suits since they were finishing the banner, so taeyong didn’t get to think about what they would actually be doing

yuta and taeyong look at each other before a knowing look spreads upon their faces

taeyong and yuta, simultaneously: “you wanna become backup dancers for mark?”

“HAHAHAHAHA,” they laugh as yuta goes to give taeyong a half hug

“WE BOTH SAID THE SAME THING!!”

“boys! taehee and her manager are in the parking lot, they’ll be heading up soon”

taeyong whines, “AAAAAAAA OKAY, so individual couple dances, then conference room, mark’s guitar- me and yuta are the backup dancers, jaehyun’s speech, taeil, jungwoo, and johnny’s dance, blowing of the cake, and then doyoung’s closing speech”

“yOU FORGOT MARK AND HAECHAN’S SPECIAL MESSAGES!”

“HYUNG!!”

“okay blowingofcakemessagesfrommarkandhaechanandthendoyoungclosingremarks”

taeyong said it so fast almost nobody caught what he was saying

“oKAY LET’S DO THIS LET’S GO!!”

“LET’S GET IT”

“ah i’m getting nervous though”

“mark hyung it’s just noona she won’t bite”

then the video fades to black

you could hear heels click against the floor and then the door of the practice room is opened

the only light comes from outside and you could see the silhouette of taehee and her manager

“i go in?”

“yeah”

“but the lights are off! (；＿；)”

“it’s okay, they’ll turn on soon. just don’t open the lights, okay?”

“aaaa you’re scaring me,” she goes inside and the manager closes the door slowly

taehee’s bundle of nerves go away when the fairy lights turn on slowly

the lights are bright just enough to reveal her smile and taeil standing on the opposite side, holding a rose

a slowed version of every breath you take by the police starts playing as taeil walks over to her

meanwhile, taehee’s openly cringing on her side and questioning what was happening

“aAAAAAndjakd wHat’S tHis?”

she laughs when taeil does a polite curtsy and hands her the rose

she thanks him for it while taeil puts his hand out for her to take

and once their hands are together, taeil guides taehee’s other hand, the one holding the rose, to his shoulder and puts his hand on her waist carefully

taehee smiles because of their height difference

almost non-existent

“taeil oppa, what’s this for?,” she chuckles

“can’t you read? it’s for your birthday,” taeil teases her

he nudges his head to the side and that’s when taehee reads ballon letters spelling out ‘birthday happy’

she giggles again

“but it’s not my birthday though...?”

“we kind of felt sad that we do nothing special for your birthday....i’m not implying something bad but we just wanted to do it for you”

“ahh,” taehee nods

taeil remembers the time limit doyoung set for them and sweats nervously

‘ahh the cringe’ he thought

“i’m gonna say something alright?”

“go on”

“uhh remember how nervous you were? before debut?”

“yeah...”

“you were the most nervous out of all of us, and i felt that. i understood you,,,so i want you to know now that you are and will be forever part of this team. the reason why you’re here is because of your talent and skills, okay? everyone knows how hard working and selfless you are, so you deserve it. don’t mind what the others say, yeah? we’re always here for you, i want you to remember that”

and taehee’s heart is swelling

she and taeil never got to do any of those deep, heart to heart talks

and this just makes her go more uwu at taeil

“yeah,” she mumbles, “i will”

taeil smiles and thinks his time is up, so he makes taehee twirl in her place before hugging her and moving out of the room

johnny was the one next to enter the room

and he was just doing some kind of waltzing from the door to taehee it really made her laugh

“this is for you, milady,” he hands her the rose

“thank you, noble sir”

johnny leads her like how taeil leaded her hands, but because of the height difference, taehee’s hand rests on johnny’s upper arm instead of his shoulder

“were you surprised?,” johnny asks

“yeah, really. i thought i could just eat or watch a movie with you guys when i get home haha”

“do you like it so far”

“of course,,,this is much much better than food or a movie”

johnny raises his brow at her, just in time for her to ask, “but is there really food though?”

he chuckles, “of course, what’s a party without food right?”

a few moments pass with them just swaying to the song, both of them enjoying the ambience of the room

“are you,,are you gonna say something like taeil oppa?”

“hmm i was thinking i would, but i think i’ve told you everything i wanted you to know”

that’s right

johnny and taehee’s relationship was like this from the beginning

whenever taehee did something johnny was proud of, he would tell her straight away

and the same goes for johnny

taehee felt like johnny could read her whenever he wanted, but that was like a silent agreement between them

“i mean, if that’s okay with you,” johnny continues

“of course,” she smiles up at him

they sway again for a few moments, she and johnny singing along to the lyrics from time to time

johnny gives taehee a spin, “im just gonna say again that i’m very thankful, and proud of you taehee. you’re the best”

that was the last thing johnny said before he exited the room, leaving a dimpled smile on taehee’s face

the next song comes on, and it makes her cringe so hard she crouches to the floor in her heels

the next person who comes in has the same reaction as her, letting out a little shout before entering the room

as christina perri’s a thousand years continue to play in the practice room, taeyong composes himself and gives taehee a rose, a wide smile on both of their faces

“do you like it so far?,” taeyong asks her once their hands are in place

taehee nods excitedly before realizing the look in taeyong’s eyes, “you planned this, didn’t you?”

“yeah,” they both laugh

“i heard you say you wanted something like this when we were watching a movie the other day, so i thought why not”

“ahh”

“im sorry we couldn’t give you the best birthdays for the past years,” taeyong frowns

“it’s okay,” she squeezes his hand, “as long as you guys are there with me, i’m already happy”

she makes taeyong laugh, “i’m serious!! it sounds cheesy but i mean it!!”

“i know, i know. i was just flustered”

taehee playfully rolls his eyes at him, “you’re always flustered”

“couldn’t you have at least given me a tiny heads up? you guys are dressed in suits and i’m just wearing a simple dress haha”

“you’re pretty in whatever you wear, taehee. we just wanted to make this really special for you”

taehee pouts at him and her eyes water a bit, “stop saying that or you guys are gonna make me cry- you know how i cry easily!”

taeyong laughs as she continues, “taeil oppa had a message for me and johnny oppa was so sweet and you’re so sweet,,all of you are”

“don’t cry,” taeyong chuckles, “you’re still a baby”

“i knowww (*´ω｀*)”

and taehee was trying to act cute to keep her tears from falling

she is babie we must protect

“i want you to live a healthy life,,i want you to be happy always. i’m so proud of you, okay taehee? i’m very thankful for you”

taehee nods, playfully she adds, “the music’s making me cry also- who’s playlist is this?”

“jungwoo and haechannie set it up”

taehee giggles

she knows the next member is gonna come in soon when taeyong removes his hands from their place and opens his arms for a hug

they share a tight warm hug until taeyong rubs her shoulder and they both let go

“thank you,” she tells him

a few moments tick by and yuta is already in the room

looking as handsome as ever

with that award winning healing smile of his

instead of doing it like the first three, yuta wraps both of taehee’s arms around his neck and pulls her closer by the waist until his head is on her shoulder

she laughs softly and yuta asks, “how’s your schedule? did you have fun?”

“it was fun! i took photos with ice cream so that’s a bonus”

they weren’t swaying like the other three, no

more like waddling

you know how dads make their toddlers stand on their feet and they waddle when they walk

that’s like yuta and taehee except she’s not standing on his feet

she’s wearing heels ouch that would’ve hurt

taehee hums and pulls away a bit later, making eye contact with yuta

“you kind of remind me of my dad”

yuta smiles amusingly, “really?”

“yeah,,,the way you both act around me. you’re like a dad”

“i am?”

“no, wait actually i’d rather have you as an older brother than my dad. but yes you are like my dad,,in some way or another”

yuta chuckles again before taehee puts her head back on yuta’s shoulder

“this is nice,” she comments

“mhmm”

yuta knows his time is almost up, he lets out a sigh

“thank you”

“hm?,” taehee hums

“for simply existing. i admire your presence and i want us to be friends for a long time, until we have our families and until we’re old. you’re a great person, taehee. thank you”

yuta pulls away and he sees a tear slip down taehee’s face making him giggle, “why are you crying?”

he’s mocking her, and she knows

“i cry easily, what else!,” she laughs

but she laughs harder when yuta pulls out a tissue from his suit pocket

“here,” they’re both laughing at this point

“you knew i would cry!!”

“you’re a baby ヽ(´ー｀),” he pats her head

yuta lets out a breath from laughing with taehee, “i’m gonna go now”

the latter pouts and she goes into his arms to give him a hug, “thank youuu”

“i love you!! mwah!,” yuta gives her a heart and he’s out the door

another slowed version of a song plays, and this time it’s one of taehee’s favorite songs

somebody else by the 1975

“your fifth rose is here!,” doyoung says when he enters the room

taehee smiles as he walks closer, handing her the rose and swaying with her like the first three did

“oppa, you look handsome in a suit,,both angles”

“i know,” he tells her jokingly

“you’re thinking about the food aren’t you?,” doyoung reads her

“is there cake?”

“of course, we got chocolate. there’s also 자장면,” doyoung smiles widely when he notices a glint in taehee’s eyes when he metioned 자장면

“when did you prepare all of this?,” taehee asks, amazed

“i think taeyong had this idea since last night, right when you left we already started preparing ( ◠‿◠ )”

“i like it. it warms my heart, really”

“i’m glad you like it then,” doyoung smiles

“you’re eating your meals, right?”

“yes oppa”

“resting well?”

“yeaaaaa”

“sleeping on time?”

“this is why your contact name on my phone is ‘doyoung eomma’ and not ‘doyoung oppa’”

“i just want you to be healthy, always. try not to get sick, yeah?”

taehee nods, “only if you do the same”

“let’s live long lives”

“let's live long lives,” she repeats with a smile

dancing with doyoung ended before she knew it, and next thing she knew

a dazzling jaehyun appeared before her

“my juliet,” he gives her the rose

“thank you, romeo”

“how are you feeling right now?,” jaehyun asks her once her hand is in his

“i'm happy...and grateful, for all of you”

“well that’s nice to hear (＾▽＾)”

they both let out soft laughs

they're so cute :( now that they’re just basking in each other’s presence

like johnny, jaehyun preferred to simply enjoy the moment than talk

half because he’s shy

at one point taehee asks him if he’s cut his hair, to which he denies

there was more skinship than talking in their relationship

not in a romantic way but platonically,,,or you could say sibling-y

although some shippers hope for a relationship, most of them are gushing over the brotherliness of jaehyun

some say maybe it’s because jaehyun’s an only child

the same goes for taehee,,,she wanted an older brother actually

but now she has more than one lmao

before jaehyun leaves, he ruffles taehee’s hair and wishes her a happy birthday

next is jungwoo!!

he’s kinda nervous but brushes it off anyways cause it’s taehee

if anything, they’ll both say or do something weird that’ll make them laugh

jungwoo had a concept when he entered

the faraway prince courting the popular princess

basically he just kept calling her princess the whole time

“oh is that your concept? haha”

“i’ve heard of your intelligence from many”

“your cunningness”

“your kind and compassionate heart”

“your witty mouth”

“mY WHAT HAHAHA”

“your diligence and hard work inspires many, including me”

unlike the ones before jungwoo, he ACTUALLY lead her to every corner of the room

like ballroom waltz or something

“did you eat before getting here?”

“no :((”

“at least you’ll eat with us, right? eat lots of food later, okay?”

then they were just sharing some inside jokes

(you can't hear them because they're slightly whispering iT’S THEIR THING YOU KNOW)

you know their dance is over when jungwoo grabs taehee’s face and gives her a long kiss on the cheek

they curtsey to each other and jungwoo is off, giggling

the next song got taehee like :OO

“i love this band!! (っ˘ω˘ς )”

“going out tonight, changes into something red”

that’s right it’s one direction baby

mid-verse mark enters the room and when they meet eyes they both smile

mark lets taehee take the rose first before he clears his throat, making taehee giggle

“YOURE MAKING THIS AWKWARD”

“IM NOT I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS”

*insert spongebob meme* iM nOt I jUsT dONt kNoW hOW To dO tHiS but takes her elbows so she can wrap her hands around his neck and he puts his hands on her waist

“is this okay,” mark let out a breath when taehee nods

a few seconds swaying together, mark opens his mouth to say something but shakes his head and closes it

it looks kinda comical if you're asking me

taehee: what is on with this boy

she chuckles, “sTOP MAKING THIS WEIRD!”

mark throws his head back as he playfully groans, smiling

“it’s just me, relax”

“okay,” and mark looks her in the eye

markhee stays are thriving ヽ(♡‿♡)ノ

“remember when,,we came into the company?”

“yeah, why?”

“you were how tall? like this *gestures to his hip* tall?”

taehee makes a face before gently kicking his foot

“you're exaggerating,” mark laughs, “shut up im like,,your height now”

“mY hEiGHt??,” he laughs harder

taehee sweetie theres kind of like,,a height difference

but its her ‘birthday’ so mark just laughs it off

“what did you do in your schedule earlier?”

“i ate ice cream”

“really? like for the photos”

“yeah, there was a lot of sweets. they had sour belts too”

“you must’ve had a lot of fun then”

“i did (๑˘︶˘๑)),,,but it would nice if you guys would be there too,” mark nods at this

then mark’s got a look in his eyes that made taehee say, “spit it out”

he licks his lips before telling her not to cringe

and she's somewhat got an idea of what he's gonna do, so she nods and giggles anyway

mark: *clears his throat* are you from seoul?

taehee, giggling: why?

mark: because i think you're my seol-mate

they both laugh, “okay thats kinda good, i like it”

“kinda good?”

“yea you need to get to my level mr. mark lee”

“sure, 선배님”

then theres a sudden knock on the door which startles the both of them

“thats haechan, isn't it”

“sadly,” they both laugh

at this point czennies are convinced that they are twins

like the timing of when they looked at the door?? so in sync

their smiles too ;(

so before mark leaves, he opens his arms for a hug, ruffling her hair when they part

and alas, a wILD DONGHYUCK APPEARS ＼(＾▽＾)／

unlike the others, hyuck immediately wraps his arms around taehee’s shoulders and pulls her into a tight hug

laughing, she wraps her arms around his waist and leans her head on his shoulder

“i love you,” hyuck starts as he sways the both of them

“i love you too”

“...if we’re still unmarried by the time we retire, i'll marry you okay?”

“you’re still on about that?,” taehee chuckles

“we’re marrying each other,” he says when she doesn't answer

later on taehee’s like (・・)

“is this *sniff* is this the cologne i gave you *sniff sniff*”

hicks hums, “it’s about to run out”

“really? you must’ve liked it then..it smells good”

he pulls away and theres this look of disbelief in his face

like you know that face when he's teasing the members

its like that uwu he's so cute i love him

“you don't..you don't know what it smells like?”

“i was trying to test out my skills so i just judged it by the case and the name”

then he runs his tongue along the inside of his cheek like

hyuck: this girl i swear-

“i guess it worked then,” he just goes along with her cause she's cute

and he loves her

so they danced until the song was done

and hyuck was like ‘blindfold time!! ^-^’

so when he pulled out a blindfold taehee went: oh shit what is that

her face kinda said everything so hyuck laughed and just told her to go along with it

she was vvv nervous,,you can tell her grip on hyuck was like really tight

“oW OW CALM DOWN!! geez HAHA”

when they entered the conference room, taehee immediately said “IS THAT CAKE??”

the other members had to keep their chuckles to themselves until taehee sat down

hyuck gave her a very wet sweet kiss on the cheek before removing her blindfold

so when taehee opened her eyes, hyuck took the seat beside her

on her other side was yuta, taeil, then jungwoo

meanwhile beside hyuck was johnny, mark, and taeyong

doyoung was standing in the front with a mic

“woah woah woah whats this”

and her eyes traveled up to the banner yuta and taeyong made

in glittery shining letters, it read “OUR PRECIOUS BABY PUMPKIN TAEHEE *heart*”

“BABY PUMPKINNNCDC,” taehee was laughing at the cringiness

then when mark, yuta, and taeyong came to the front she immediately groaned and let her head bump on the table

“this is gonna be so corny”

“wise men say,,”

“AAFGGGHGHJG”

“only fools rush in,”

“AAAAaaaAaAAaAAAAaaA”

“but i can't help,,” taehee sighs instead and gives in

at the end of the day, who could resist the mark lee

no one

“falling in love with you,,” at this point they're all singing along and swaying their arms

meanwhile yuta and taeyong kept laughing at the back

at one point they slow danced with each other, making the members laugh

they all clapped when mark was finished yay!!

taehee stood up to give mark a bro hug and a pat on the head

doyoung: *tap* *tap* mic test mic test 1, 2, 1, 2

“okayyy welcome to taehee’s birthday bash!!”

“BiRtHdAy bASh??!! (´〇｀)”

“first up, opening remarks to be led by jaehyun”

“WOWOWOOWOW *claps hands excitedly*

you notice the grins on the boys’ faces were so happy bc taehee was so responsive yet genuine with her actions

they’ve truly hit the jackpot with this one

jaehyun: does the bare minimum such as clearing his throat

taehee: uR SO CUTE <3

“the sun on a lovely beach shines brightly”

“oooo”

“the early birds chirping happily as they go from flower,,to flower”

“birds go to flowers?”

“mark shh”

“the waves calm, as the kids play on the sand”

“all of this..is because of jeon taehee’s existence”

“wHABJSNAJ”

“the earth will never be at peace without you, so we commemorate this day, december 27,”

at this point everyone’s wheezing

“its not even december 27 hhhh”

the fact jaehyun’s not breaking character makes it even funnier

“to celebrate,,the day jeon taehee was brought to this world”

“people say disneyland is the happiest place on earth,”

“BUT CLEARLY THEY’VE NEVER BEEN NEXT TO ME :D”

“but clearly they’ve never been next to you”

taejae soulmates <3

“aAAAA I LOVE THAT HAHAHA”

“it mustve hurt when you fell from heaven, you truly are an angel in disguise”

jaehyun dramatically looks up while a hand is in the air, “but the member’s are here to heal you with our love!! APPLAUSE”

*cue standing ovations and whistles from the members*

meanwhile taehee’s clutching her stomach from laughing too a hard

“this is so cheesy oh my god *wHEEEEZE*”

next up is taeil, jungwoo, and johnny's dance number!!

the vibe’s similar to the dance they did at yuwin’s bday special

but this time it’s to britney spears’ “

so they've got taehee laughing a lot more

to the point she CANT SEE because her eye smile ^-^

she's so precious czennies want to give her the world

taehee kept shouting that they were cute esp taeil he looks so tiny in between these giants

when they're done taehee’s in literal tears, “aa i love u guys so much”

blowing of cake yay!!!

the members are laughing because of the look in her eyes

taehee and food a new ship <3

hyuck’s cover off happy birthday makes a powerful comeback again

mark’s just shaking his head at him

so while they're all distributing slices of cake

markhyuck takes a stand at the front and they look like they're about to make a toast

lmao they are

“so this is for our lovely taehee”

“joanieee”

“you've worked hard along with us on this beautiful journey,,you never show us that you're tired and you are consistently selfless, compassionate, and kind with all of us,, we can never ask for a better sister”

mark: LOVE YOU *throws a finger heart*

even if that was short, taehee still finds her self smiling from ear to ear

god she loved these boys so much

closing remarks time!! aka picture time

hyuck and yuta were getting playful with taehee so they swiped a but of icing from the cake then onto her nose and cheek

she just nose scrunched at them uwu they love her so much

aaaaa this is so long

i cannot express enough how much the members love taehee

she has been their friend, sister, mentor, cheerleader, etc. for so many years

they love her to death

so as they all said cheese for the photo, their love for each other shines brightly through their eyes and smiles

in this journey, it’s all or nothing <3

mdzs read diary part IV, the end

It’s inspiring how much self care wwx is gonna finally get now that his husband will go along with whatever he does, so he’s gotta look out for lwj’s well being if not his own. that is emphatically the STUFF

dragging my hands down I face as I read this, after all these chapters of getting up close and personal with ghouls bleeding from every orifice, slaying ancient beasts, rebelling against the entire cultivation world, the two of them are absolutely paralyzed by middle school crush sleepover math

chicken

he actually drew kissy doodles .... he....

IDK I THINK I JUST DOCUMENTED THIS PART CUZ I WAS STILL SCREAMING you cant expect me to have very useful things to say at this point

this is torture you are both so mushy you are so GONE

This part really stood out to me, it’s an attitude I feel like wwx implies with his inner narration a few times but most clearly says here: he’s not one for allowing himself to exaggerate how bad his circumstances are/could be even a little bit - he’s already lived through some extreme low points and found a way to keep going, so he never makes sweeping statements about what he couldn’t live without (Inner JingYi: you’re supposed to say you’d be lost without him here!!!) Instead he seems to accept as a given that being alive doesn’t guarantee him any pleasantness or joy at all, and as a result his feelings toward being in TRUE LOVE are surprisingly pragmatic, but also colored with such gratitude. There are a lot of things in the novel that struck me, like this, as being just a little to the left of familiar tropes/sentiments, and were more touching for it. Whether it be the influence of culture difference as opposed to what I’m used to reading in most western romance stories, or MXTX’s unique outlook, or a combination of both, it was really refreshing and made me pause over it. Not “I can’t imagine living without you” but “I could be living without you, but instead I get to be with you and I think that’s the best thing that could happen.”

ADJFDKFJ THE UST BEING SO STRONG THAT EVEN THE VILLAIN COMMENTS ON IT IN THE MIDDLE OF EXECUTING HIS EVIL PLANS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT WILL NEVER FAIL TO MAKE ME LAUGH MY ASS OFF. hes like god damn! here I thought I had problems

it was at this moment that I realized we were doing this Now... I’m still recovering. What a scene. I am so glad I saw the most incredible fanart soon afterwards, bc the fact that someone has already drawn a perfect comic of this part means I don’t have to

I love you so much, you are so annoying, you are perfect... I like how he’s been experiencing openly requited love for all of ten minutes but he’s already figured out how to weaponize it to piss people off

doing!!! his!!! job!!!!!

ahh... it’s a really good story. JGY is a great character. One of the most interesting differences for me between drama watching vs. novel reading experience is that without an actor to bat his vulnerable doe eyes at you and smile faintly with his cute dimples, the book does not go much out of its way to try to lull the reader into a false sense of security around him or *endear* him to you the way the show does. But just by seeing events through wei wuxian’s POV, its still enough to evoke pity or understanding towards him. The overall impression is a bit more detached though, there’s less emphasis on the spectacle of how he could manipulate everyone closest to him and more of a general feeling of resigned tragedy that everyones the worst on this bitch of an earth.

I CANNOT DEAL WITH YOU FOR EVEN ONE MORE SECOND!!!!

I clearly paused to take note of less and less parts at the end & the extras due to: a) too excited to reach the end b) too spicy to photograph and c) too sleepy cuz I kept reading in the middle of the night. but I absolutely took the time for Bro We Are Teens appreciation corner:

I’d absolutely read 40 more extra chapters of their monster-of-the-week field trip antics.

god... poor Jin Ling now basically has to deal with divorced parents that talk shit about each other to him whenever he is saying with one of them. except they are both his uncles. just a disasterhood of all uncles from start to finish. AUUUGH wei wuxian and jiang cheng have fucked me up completely, I dream of them reconciling but I also REFUSE to believe it would ever be easy. let me know if theres a fanfic that absolutely tortures you for decades before they hug

HAHAHA oh no this man ain’t making it to immortality thats for damn sure. HE’S JUST GONNA TRY AS HARD AS HE CAN HIS WHOLE LIFE NOT TO LOOK AT HIM BUT THEYRE *MARRIED* SDLKFJSF ohhhh it’s too funny, like... the mundane domestic family drama IN the fantastical swords and sorcery setting is what really ratchets up these things from amusing to fucking hilarious I think

aaaa the end... final random thoughts? No not final, I would like to please keep discussing at length and exhaustively, all the time please - CQL has gotta be one of the best TV adaptations I’ve seen. ANY adaptation of anything would be lucky to be so good!! reading the novel has just made me appreciate it even more.

- I don’t think I can do justice to what I find most fascinating about comparing the two versions briefly, to do that I need to get drunk and ramble at my friends for hours but... the condensed version is something like this. Really all the significant differences between the two versions (besides the ones which can be attributed to censorship and therefore aren’t worth discussing) are a side effect of the structure of how the story is told - there’s barely anything changed arbitrarily. Aside from having a cold opening, the drama sticks to a very linear version of the story, and I think for a TV show or film, that’s probably the best way to do it. We see everything, we get shocked and tricked and betrayed and surprised along with the characters, we feel the biggest impact at the climactic scenes having experienced all the build-up. The novel on the other hand is not only much more non-linear in WHEN we learn bits and pieces of information, but that information is also obfuscated under wei wuxian’s multiple layers of Unreliable Narratoritis, which are as follows: 1) difficulty remembering things because of personality/avoiding painful memories/actual memory loss, 2) No Homo Goggles still on, and 3) a wry sense of humor that makes the reader unsure of how much they can trust his attitude toward things, especially near the beginning. The experience of reading is a puzzle the reader has to mentally piece together through all of the above listed camouflage, and the puzzle itself is a three-sided mystery: One - How Bad of a guy was Wei WuXian really, and how exactly did all the bad stuff in his life go down; Two - wangxian epic pride & prejudice gambits; Three - political murder mystery. (I love stories like this btw... though I fully admit I’m glad I watched first this time bc it might have taken me a long time to tackle otherwise.) Because of this, where the drama wants to pull you in and submerge you in all the most potent emotional parts, the novel in direct contrast deliberately side-steps around these things and asks that you hurt yourself by filling in the blanks. In fact the more intense emotions and painful memories involved, whether it be his relationship with jiang yanli, his DEATH, the darkest days of war times etc, the more the novel evasively withholds details. I actually really like both styles of storytelling but each one is obviously way better suited to its medium. ANYWAY.... THATS BASICALLY WHERE MY BRAINS AT WHILE IM READING GAY SWORD WIZARD BOOKS

- The extras are so saturated with domestic married bliss that it’s a good thing I stopped taking pictures because I’d just take a picture of every page. this is too much for me to take... I did jump the gun a few times and read a few fanfics while I was still mid-read of the book (I tried to hold out but alas I am mortal) and at one point after finishing I was like “wow what fic was it in where lwj says something cute and wwx kisses him in public but they’re in the corner of the restaurant so no one really sees... OH NO WAIT that was actually in there.” and ... and that’s the LEAST OF IT... *stares into the distance* theyre married wow

- I ofc couldn’t help but see a few vague blogs beforehand so honestly I was braced for something like, wildly ooc for the sake of porn to happen in the extras... I definitely appreciate how the incense burner porn interludes could be uhhh a lot for many people and not my personal cup of tea in terms of smut however [here follows the words of a poisonous frog who has dwelt her whole life in the rainforests of BL] the concept is also surprisingly SWEET SDFLKJF like wwx sees lan wangji’s darkest mixed-up violent teenage fantasies and he’s just like aww babe you had a crush on me!! just... good for them

- I swear I’m not gonna rehash every cute married thing they do but wei wuxian grading papers in the tub........................rEALLY GOT ME

- I want to Draw - ok thats enough if I keep going I’ll just write “wei wuxian grading papers in the tub” seven more times probably

#mdzs readthru #this obviously has many spoilers

Tag 9 People That You’d Like To Get To Know Better

ahh! thank you so much @gamingaquarius for the tag! i’m so excited to do this lolol

Top 3 ships: Stucky, Romanogers, Clintasha

Top 3 Pedro characters: AAAA, how will I even answer this??? Okay phewww let’s see the cards on the table... I’d definitely have to just give the first golden trophy to Oberyn Martell. Do you even need a reason?? Like, it’s OBERYN MARTELL. In the second place, Din Djarin. Mando. Straight up. Adorable, husky, sexy- Mando. Javier Peña comes in third, we get BLESSED scenes so yes.

Last Song: At Last by Etta James

Last Movie: Escape From Pretoria (such a freaking intense, suspenseful movie- you HAVE you to place a cent for watching it)

Currently reading:

In meanings of Fanficition, I tend to read oneshots but I adore series as well. Thank you to the writers who dedicate their time for their WIP! Here is a list of fanfictions (mostly series) I hold close to my heart.

- Ten Percent by @lielullabye ; this story is just magnificent. having ransom AND steve rogers in one series? dang, okay- i was NOT ready. i just, this series makes me want to like scream at ransom but he’s a by :0( I love the contrast between steve rogers’ softness and ransom approach to the reader!!

- Team Building by @mylifeliterally ; IF YOU WANT A HOT ESFIRIVNR SERIES FOR THE TRIPLE FRONTIER (excluding tom because uhm...) GO AHEAD CLICK ON THAT LINK!!! YOU’RE GONNA SWEAT WITH EVERY LINE LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

- I! LOVE! EVERY WORK BY @ithinkhesgaybutwesavedmufasa !!!! LIKE WHATTTT okay. here’s the INCREDIBLE masterlist, I love ‘footprints in the sand’ (with oberyn martell and ellaria sand), I WOULD DIE FOR ‘with cherries on top’ (with max Phillips) and I hold ‘Addicted to you’ (with Frankie Morales) in a cage in my heart. I just- I love all her works, BYE- i might reread everything before I go to sleep lol

- Secret Keeper by @chelsfic ; HORACIO CARRILLO LOVERS STAND UP!!! I SAY STAND UP!!!! if i reread the series once again, it would be my third time reading it. I have to confess. Because I might actually reread it without MISSING A HEARTBEATTT!!!! the angst, the fluff, the SUSPENSE! LIKE MY HEART JUST CLENCHES AT EVERY LINE! i love this writing so much bye i need to cry

- I have yet to read every single writing by @storiesofthefandomlovers but just grazing my eyes over the masterlist- i’m just left astounded. ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It’ is a series EVERYONE love and adore!! i can vouch for the outstanding quality in every aspect! I was so into the writing, I forget that the movie hasn’t even come out. We love Maxwell Lord by only a few minutes of trailer we have been giving to quench on lol. We drinking every sip of Maxwell Lord content we can get. I love how the story is NOT how some of us expected it to be, there’s always turns and surprising decisions. I’m sad that it had ended but now, I can reread it over and over again. Just to highlight the parts when Max becomes hard every time the reader says Daddy to Snookums (?) lmao. I have also enjoyed the ‘El Baño’ mini-series! hehe <33 Not to mention ‘You should see me in a crown’ (a hot smut with our man oberyn martell, you guessed it, the deed is done on the IRON THRONES HWHWHW YESS)

- Pink + White by @imaginesbymk ; okay, hold me back for this one, I think my love for this series can be heard, and can be seen. Like, I’ve recently swam out of the Peaky Blinders fandom and into the Pedro Pascal’s, but with this series, I’m just enticed with every line. I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!!!! I HAVE TO CONFESS MY BIG BIG TREMENDOUS LOVE FOR THIS WRITING! IT’S SO ANGSTY, SO SUSPENSEFUL! I LOVE LUCA CHANGRETTA BYE!

- every. single. writing. of @boogiewrites ; i’m head over heels for every line. Like, where do I even start? Tom Hardy’s characters are just so lovable. Alfie Solomons in ‘Choking on Sapphires’ is just perfect. His dialogues make it as if it was actually said by the man, it’s incredible. The twists, the angst, the fluffy moments, the words- it all just leaves me astounded. ‘Reports and Repertoire’ with Venom and Eddie... uhm... the thought of it makes me sweat. Bad Bride, omg just- YES

- @sinner-as-saint just blesses us with writing EACH SINGLE TIME!! like, every line, every smut, every writing, every dialogue- BYE! like infinity starts out of 10. No words can describe the incredibleness, the amazingness of every writing produced. Thank you so much for feeding us your content, thank you for sharing it with us!! I turn giddy at the thought of going through your masterlist once again haha. You want hot, OUT OF THE WORLD smut? head on.

- @marvelcapsicle has managed to capture my heart with Starting Over, I think within one line, people would just be enraptured by the series. it’s so warm to the chest like a fluffy blanket i find comfort in after a stormy day of things not going to plan. the softness of it just lingers throughout the ongoing series. i’m just left shocked at how amazing each line is, the description- the overlooked words, the settings, the characters, the DIALOGUES!!! aaa!!!! one word- AMAZING.

In the meanings of books, I’ve a lot on my plate but I haven’t found the time to do those readings lol. But, Ready Player One, the Wuthering Heights, and a few more but I’m too lazy to search lol

Currently watching: I haven’t brought myself to finish the third season of Narcos (after third episode), I’m just missing Boyd’s narration lol. I’m still recovering over the fact that Carrillo died, BYE! I need to finish Agents Of Shield, like after season 5 lol.

Food I’m currently craving: I really really really really want some good risotto. Like, not kidding. Not a splash extra of cream or whatever, just perfect to the tongue. Hmmmmm, my mouth’s watering. Maybe some good vanilla ice cream with nutella for dessert. Okay, I’m gonna adventure through my kitchen lol.

No pressure tags: @peak-a-blinder @peakymarvelworld @gamingaquarius (haha back atchu) @the-silver-iris @just-an-outstanding-auror @hecohansen31 @lotsoffandomimagines @lielullabye @dindisneydjarin

#tag game #i spent at least half an hour on this lmao #ill procrastinate on my writing

Hhhh bunni legs pain accomplishment day

I HAVE FINISHED THE SHOPPING OF HELL

Tfw u only get paid 4 days before christmas and have to rush everything aaaa

It was bad enough today so i'm so glad i got it done before it got even more busy!

Misc boring essentials i bought for myself: new phone charger cos broken, new trousers cos i spilt hair bleach on my only two pairs, new shoes cos my left shoe literally snapped in half down the middle like wtf even happened there, cheap pink hair dye from a discount store cos i wanna try different colours but in a thrifty way

Now for EXCITING CHRISTMAS PRESENT TIME!!!!

First off SO MANY pc and xbox 360 games from Every Charity Shop In Cardiff, St Mellons, Rumney and Llanrumney. My sis has been trying to find some games to play but was like 'dont worry about it i can just wait til the charity shop gets something good'. So i thought i'd get some stocking stuffers via all the charity shops on my side of town. By our powers combined we will blitz the entire vale of glamorgan's discount gaming scene!!! I found SO MANY good stuff for £1/£2/£3 like holy shit i love when charity shops dont know the proper price for shit XD

speaking of which i also found a WEBCAM for £2! If its that cheap it probanly isnt great but itd still be fun to play around with! :D and the same store also had an old vintage G1 My Little Pony coffee mug in excellent condition. Oh god the nostalgia! My support worker gave me a lift to llanrumney so i had to awkwardly explain why i had an armful of weird 80s mugs and big teary eyes!

Speaking of vintage, i found this new vintage toys and games shop in cardiff called Galactic Attic! The name hooked me in and then they actually DID have pokemon inside! As well as all sorts of stuff ranging from 40s to 90s, wow! There was even a lil pile of old 90s gaming magazines in the corner, covered up by a bunch of boxes. I'm glad i noticed them! I got the announcemt issues for pokemon diamond pearl and platinum in a weird old pokemon fan magazine that i loved as a kid. Im kinda sad that nowadays we just have one official magazine fpr each console and not the wild madness of amateaur journalists failing horribly to get news from japan. Shame they didnt have Beckett Pokemon cos that one was infamous fot drawing its own terrible interpretations of pokemon sprites to avoid copyright. And speaking of terrible, they even had bootleg pokemon!! I talked to the cashier and he was like "you know those are fake right" and i was like "yeah its so nostalgic thats why i want em" and he was like "lol yeah they actually sell pretty well so i'm not mad my supplier ripped me off". It was a pretty good and awesomely terrible fake at the same time? There was this exact replica of some japanese display stand for the product and then the actual pokeball toys looked perfect BUT the mini pokemon inside were.. Really not. I am so damn happy with the surprise inside my one, surprise inside has never been more accurate! I can't take a picture now cos my phone is charging but REGICHEETO. Just..just imagine that, and whatever you're imagining it is probably worse. I love it so fuckin much. Also less hilariously there were some bootleg mini pika plushies with actually (as far as i can tell) their own unique design? They have cute lil winter scarves and an art style that reminds me of the Magical Pokemon Adventure manga. A really cute and good bootleg that i would have loved to see as a real product! The only way you can even tell its a bootleg is because there's no marking on the tail. I dunno, maybe if i still have some brown fabric in the cupboard i could fix it? Or maybe its unique tail makes it even more special! I mean there's Cosplay Pikachu with its double tail marking so maybe this is her cousin Accessory Pikachu with no markings? He just likes wearing scarfs and hats and stuff. OMG HE'S THE POKEMON GO EVENT PIKACHU!!!!!!

Along the miscness of finding a few things for myself, i also found: cute lil pokemon pencilcase, kingdom hearts blind bag, cheap copy of Fruits Basket volume 1 cos the new remake is coming out soon and i wanna Get Hype! The KH blind bag was really weird cos i didnt know they now have an entirely different set as well as the keychains i bought before. Its kind of a shame the art style doesnt match cos vexen is only in the keychains, alas! But i do really love these ones! Theyre apparantly made by funko pop but dont have the art style AT ALL, they just look like really accurate versions of the characters in mini form. Its kinda like the 'distance animation' style in steven universe? (Incidentally they also do SU ones but they missed the opportunitu to actually use the distance style, lol) I got a Sora in his kh2 outfit and i'm decently happy with that, its not one i really wanted but its not a bad one either. But i think now i've tried the fun of surprise once i'll just buy the actual ones i want off ebay later. They have roxas in his organization outfit! With a happy smile!!!

Oh oh and then EVEN MORE XBOX GAMES OF THE WILD THRIFT STORE VOID! i managed to find the whole fable series, two assassins creeds, saints row, gta, some misc shooter games and racers that she wanted but i dont know much about, mass effect 2 and ff13. I think maybe one or two others cos i cant fully remember right now. Theyre all in separate bags strewn across the room and my shoulders feel like death so i'll sort through them later.

Aaaand i wrote up like 14 paragraphs more but tumblr didnt save my draft fpr some fuckin reason and now im way too tired to do it again

Briefer summary:

* had a huge horrible panic attack getting stuck in a skyscraper shopping centre clothes place full of screaming and every perfume smell and WHY DO I HAVE TO NAVIGATE THIS HELL MAZE TO FIND THE ESCALATOR and seriously i was my most primal animalistic self and i went full fight or flight on this bitch

* had a lovely time visiting Cool Shop Grandma and rambled the story of how i met her and how we became friends but hhh too tired to rewrite. But anyway today i gave her a christmas pikachu plush as thanks for everything and cos her shop is moving on to its next location soon. She got really teary and gave me a big hug! She's gonna be at a comic con in march so i hope i'm able to go to that and see her again.

* went on a wild goose chase looking for harry potter merchandise and eventually found a gold plated replica of the movie prop version of the time turner and HELL YES my sis will love it!

* rambled about several market stalls that were cool but i can make a separate post about that in the morning when i find their contact details to advertise them

* got a plushie delibird and decided to take selfies with it everywhere to try and fight my social anxiety somehow. We went to a neat lil restaurant and had cheesy fries and a coke float!

* asked for a refund on an item for the first time ever and im proud of myself

* went off on a mystery bus trip to buy a preowned 3ds and pokemon games from a lady in an online preowned stuff facebook group and it didnt go horribly and i am glad! She was really nice and i witnessed A Good And Smart Parenting Moment and man it healed my heart and i wish i'd been raised that way. Again i'll probably ramble about the details later when im less tired, it really touched my heart seriously! And now i have MANY GIFTS FOR SIS!

* in total i was out present shopping from 9am to 8pm and i clicked my shoulder out of its socket for a split second from.all the heavy bags. Now im in a lot of aches and i need a sleeps

The End

hi!! <3 i just finished reading timeout and this is so embarassing but holy shit that was such an intense experience, you just took my breath away with how amazing this fic was. 🤧❣️ like literally!!!!! i was feeling dizzy and having a hard time breathing while reading NWKSISJSJS i love the way you described each details of their actions like the part where jeno and y/n got pressed up on each other MSKSKSKS I'M GONNA GO FERAL PLS THAT WAS SO GOOD I ALMOST LOST IT😭😭😭😭 the fact that i could see everything so explicitly in my mind and my brain going 🚨🚨🚨. and i don't why but i love the "jeno always sees her first before she does" AAAAAAA. and i'm also obsessed with y/n shoving jeno inside his car and hovering over him BBBBBBRRRRRRRR🤒. aND THEN THE SMUT GOOD LORD I WAS FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE!!! i am not kidding when i say i had to take mini breaks in between bcs i. suddenly. forgot. how. to. breathe???????? wtf?????? iT'S THAT GOOD. even right now as i'm typing this i'm still catching my breath like hOW DARE YOU PLS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY RN😤😤. jeno whimpering from y/n groping his thighs, y/n whispering on jeno's ear and jeno pulling her skirt, jeno grabbing her waist, the teasing, and jeno biting on his shirt bc he was told to daMN, the whole "can i kiss you? no, not there" part just got me like fUCK I WANT THAT LMAO. and when it got to the fucking part, just when i thought "ok this is it i'll get some oxygen here" but nO it just kept going and going and it became too much to handle that i'm just 😵🚨😵🚨😵🚨😵🚨 the whole time. and up until the end. and the ending!!!!!! 💯 i'm so curious of what's gonna happen to them next eeeee eee. i also really love how jeno kinda just accepts whatever y/n does lol. anway, you did such a great job on this fic, it's so well written and it's one of my fav jeno fics now💞 it's been awhile since i've felt this overwhelmed over a fic aaaa😩💖 i'll prolly read it again!!! 😎❤️ i love u i'm literally so happy i found this beautiful work of yours❤️

and last, i'm gonna have a hard time recovering from this jsksoskssj the jeno feels are hitting me bad these days. he's just soooo damn fine🙄 i'm tryna deny it but this just dragged me back in by the leg NSKSISJSKS this fic made me feel weak and vulnerable!!!!! :")))))

ahh thank you <33 thank you <33 i'm really glad that you enjoyed reading it!! it's supposed to be an experience! i try to make all my fics somewhat intense, just because i like the emotion - i was worried, at first, that it came across as cringey >-<

and yeah! every scene that i write, i can see it very clearly - it's why my fics are member-specific! they can't really be interchangeable.

they way that i see jeno is like ... someone who enjoys the security and familiarity. he can be free to do things; they can be free to do things, but the two of them must be loyal to each other. like, he's posessive but in the sense that, like, he needs security lol. and the whole letting y/n do whatever she wants thing is based off of jaemin and haechan chosing jeno during nct 2020 enquete20 for "member whose preferences match mine" solely because jeno would do whatever they wanted lol. he's easy breezy and only likes (10) people.

read time out: the prequel here

the part where they get pressed against each other:

this part sets up a whole thing that I have in the main part! everything is going to come full circle to this prequel lol. i'm glad you liked this part lol; i thought that i described it too much >-<

You have the same look in your eyes as when Jeno first met you. It took a few more meetings, after that one, until he was able to name it: contempt, maybe even irritation, or disrespect. However, unlike now, he was unable to discern why he had been so deserving of your precious scorn; all he did was show up to practice! This time though, Jeno concedes that it was partially his fault. He was weaving between couples and trios, trying not to hit anyone on his way to alcohol; he barely had any in his system, to be so wobbly on his feet, like a drunkard, but he walked too close to the drywall and bounced off it, in an attempt to avoid two people making out, then he hit you right in the shoulder, your arm carrying a shot glass filled to the brim (you would get dinged in a chem lab, Jeno thinks, not that he has taken chemistry recently; he mostly listens to all the ways Jaemin kept failing the lab safety quiz). You spilled peach soju on his wrist and the edge of his shirt, forcing him to lift it enough to show off his sharp v-line, his transversus abdominis, that gets cut off by his pants tied above his waist, rather than at his waist – a tease, honestly.

Jeno’s arm jerks backward, responsively, to force some space away from everyone, mostly you, but your watch snagged on the fabric, pinching the draw string tightened around his hips, wrapping you closer the more that Jeno tries to detangle himself. He takes a step to the wall, shoulders alert, feeling for the rough material until he falls against it. Your waist slumps against his as he drags you with him, and you grumble, ugh, holding out a second while people pass behind you, pushing past you away from the kitchen. Jeno presses your hips down, your feet coming to the ground, his hands resting more on your butt than your lower back, almost like a trap. The hallway is too narrow for this many people, Jeno thinks, wishing that Hongjoong had the sense to either limit how many students could attend or limit Seonghwa’s invites. Although, he probably would not have been able to attend had any of those two events occurred. And his hands tighten with the thought, locking you between his arms. He can feel you stare at him, blocking out the crowd that he watches equally intently.

the part where jeno notices you (or at least, one of them):

my user name is tenderlyrenjun, after the lipstick that renjun promoted, yeah, but mostly because they're tender!! they haven't said that they hate each other; they're just assuming it!! they don't know what this feeling is!!

Jeno scans his eyes further into the living, searching for someone familiar, then he spots you and Yeeun. Well, you first. He noticed that he always does this: sees you before you see him, and it turns into this whole thing.

I can't put the whole sex scene into this ask because it's ... the whole fic bdfkjghfdsghds but i'm glad you like it!! i'm aware that smut is my best genre - I just don't write it very often .-.

but there are only two times where "can i kiss you" is said and it is by each of them!! he says it in the closet; y/n says it in the car! they're not polar opposites!! they are two sides of the same coin ahhhhhh.

In This Tunnel, There is but One Light (Part Two)

[submitted by: @omsrandom]

The next time it happened, it was a rainy, cold day. As before, everything seemed, well, normal. She had woken up and went through her altered morning rituals, still not used to waking up to a half empty bed, right side cold and stiff from disuse. Eleven years had passed since her love said his final words, and a day didn’t go by where she didn’t think of him at least once.

Still, she went through the routine of applying her lipstick and straightening her hair up, she grabbed her purse and pulled on her peacoat before heading out the door. Grey fog and wet concrete met her sights as the gentle patter of rain fell. Pushing her collar up – fond memories came up as she did this, making her smile bittersweetly – she continued down the sidewalk, only a few blocks away when a terrible sound screeched through the air.

Something hit her side, sending her flying into the building. A sharp pain in her neck led her laying halfway in debris, staring at the grey clouds as the rain continued to fall, her world slowly fading out.

Three blocks away, the day in the Studio hiccuped. Stephen and Stanley were, of course, asked of their mother and her whereabouts, to which they responded a ‘don’t know’ until around 4:16, when Henry got a phone call from the police department, asking if Stephen and/or Stanley were there.

He would never forget the twins’s screams when it was revealed a very, very old coworker of theirs had been driving with no brake pads, over the speed limit in the rain, and hit and killed their mother just three blocks down.

Grant had been hospitalized, having apparently said the wrong thing at the wrong place. They expected him to be ok, for the most part.

No one expected the mafia getting involved. In a twisted sense a humor, it was funny to see Grant’s past come out, but in context? It broke Henry’s and Dianne’s hearts. They had trusted him so much, yet he didn’t return the favor? He must’ve known they would’ve helped, which is why, of course, he probably didn’t ask for any help.

The years shifted, employees left and joined, and for a while, everything was good, happy, even. Henry’s phone rang from beside him, startling him slightly from where he had been doodling a design Joey would’ve shot down instantly with one of those blasted sticky notes of his. Picking up the phone, he spoke. “Joey Drew Studio, can I help you?”

“Yes, is this Henry Batim?” A woman asked.

“Yes, can I help you?”

“It’s about a Wally Franks? It was requested that you and the studio would be notified when this happens.” Dread and apprehension filled him. “It’s to my condolences that I must inform you that as of today, Mr. Franks was found dead in his room.”

“I see…” he rasped out. “I’ll inform the others. Thank you ma’am.” Hanging up the phone, his arm brushed an old picture. Picking it up, he smiled at the scene they had managed to capture. Joey sitting in the center, Bendy, himself and Wall to the elder man’s left, Boris behind him and Alice, Susie and Sammy to his right. With a sigh, he stood and gently set the frame down. “Looks like it’s just… me…”

The year of 1990 was… unbearable

Dianne had been laughing at a joke Benjamen had told her while a cake was being baked in the oven. He had been on the phone, talking to Boris when a sudden shout of “MOM!” and when he turned, their eldest son was towering over her as she had a hand over her chest, over her heart. At first, he thought maybe she had laughed a little too hard, but her face turned pained, and her fingers dug into the borrowed sweater, and that’s when he knew.

The phone fell to the floor as he all but threw himself towards her armchair just as the first gasp came. “Honey? Honey?!” He could see Ben going to the phone, hanging up before sharply pulling it off the hook again, only receiving the dial up tone in return.

“Henry,” Dianne whimpered, green, pain filled eyes pleading. Pleading for him or for the pain to stop, he didn’t know because her next words were outdrowned by Benjamen’s screaming for help, that his mother was having a heart attack. When he was finished, Henry was left crying as her breaths grew more and more shallow.

By the time the ambulance was there, Dianne was already gone.

————————

Dianne’s scene was harsh mun

((SOBBING?? SOBBING. sobbing. im. sUSIE?? SUSIE’S PART. fuck. and i feel bad for laughing because of the mafia thing but otherwise im sad. oh my god. dianne. henry. their son was there. she was wearing Henry’s Favorite Sweater. His. Sweater. she- what the fuck. aaaaaaaa????-

Hello there! Could I please request a match up? I have brown hair with brown eyes and I also wear glasses, my height is 166 cm! I really love to play video games, and annoy people....haha.... I'm really lazy, and would probably burn the entire kitchen down while trying to cook, I'm a pretty moody person, and get angry and jealous easily, I need to depend on others a lot, and I love anything sweet! I'm really awkward when it comes to conversations or interacting with people in general, (1/2~~)

(2/2~~) and stutter a lot, I’m polite when talking to others though, and when I somehow manage to befriend someone, I’ll be both clingy and rude to them (I apologize if this doesn’t make any sense.) Haha, I think that’s all! Thank you very much beforehand, as I am not really familiar with those match ups, I really look forward to it! ^^

Aaaa, I’m super sorry for the wait! I ended up letting my inbox pile up, I apologize! I’ll try my best to get through all the matchups, I have quite a few now;; there are also a few scenario requests, so look forward to those as well! Also! Madara, the new character, will be added to the characters for requests! I’m pretty excited to write about him!

Of course! And don’t worry, I get what you mean~ It’s no problem, I hope you enjoy your results! And welcome to the burnt toast club !! *high five* (though it might not be something to be proud of oop, its ok we can be kitchen failures together)

Anyway here’s the matchup! I hope you enjoy it~

Your match is…

*drumroll*

Suou Tsukasa!

The first time you two met was honestly chaos. You were standing outside the door to Knights’ studio. Knights was one of the most powerful units in the school, which made them seem pretty intimidating. They seemed like a group of strong, cool, princely boys. You’ve heard a lot about their group, and their “newbie.” You had heard comments that the newbie was out of line, and pretty rude to his seniors. So you could only hope for this to go well. After all, as a producer, you would be working with them a lot from now on. You finally knocked on the door to announce your entry. You opened the door to a… an overwhelming scene. The room was completely covered in colored marks, which you recognized to be music scores. A boy with orange hair was holding markers while a intimidating boy with silver hair reapetedly hit him, taking his markers. A blonde boy smiled at the two, trying to calm the silver haired one down. Not to mention you almost tripped over a bot withblack hair that appeared to be sleeping. The only one that seemed to notice you was a redhaired boy that looked at you with a panicked expression.

Suou had, only moments before, been frantically trying to prepare for your arrival. Stop Leo from writing all over, wake up Ritsu, call Arashi to ask where he was, and calm Izumi down. So many things were out of order, and he had no idea how to solve any of them. Luckily, Arashi arrived soon after, but that was only one out of four down. Five, actually; the entire studio was a mess. He was extremely stressed about first impressions, especially since the future of Knights was on your shoulders, as a producer. This one event could make or break their chances. And there you were, standing before a room of chaos. Suou honestly felt like crying as he stared at you with wide eyes. He ran up to you, bowing and apologizing. You laughed a bit, brushing it off. This group was interesting, and definitely not what you expected.

Suou was what you had expected from someone in Knights. He was polite, chivalrous, responsible, and a bit of a neat freak. But he still had plenty of cute quirks that made him stick out from the rest. He was always polite with you, easing you both into a steady friendship. He always knoews how to deal with your various moods, and especially knows when to give you some time alone. He was really dependable, completing anything that you would task him with; and usually going above and beyond. He would push you when he recognized you getting lazy, but usually ended up doing whatever was needed for you. He quickly came to realize he had grown feelings for you, but wasn’t sure what to do in terms of confessing.

He turned to stress eating, often bothering his fellow Knights as he lost focus during practice. They had a live quickly approaching, and told him to solve whatever was bothering him. Of course, offering their help. Suou refused, stating it was personal. Arashi recognized what was going on, gasping and happily chattering about how he had feelings for you. And Arashi knew very well that you returned his feelings, though you still were in denial. Poor Suou sat there with a bright red face, having been figured out. And thus, Suou had written a detailed paper about his feelings for you, ready to read it over to you. You were coming to Knights’ practice today to finish up some business before their quickly approaching live, and Suou notified everyone of his plan to confess before practice. They all agreed, as long as it didn’t interfere with the practice.

To make sure things went smoothly, Arashi talked to you the day before. He started a casual conversation, slowly turning to the topic of love. He asked if you had a crush, to which you still denied. Not even Suou? You were startled at his suggestion, face heating up. Did you like Suou? No, right? He was just a friend. Arashi giggled at your reaction, warning you that he may return your feelings. It was thanks to him that you even came to terms with your crush. It was pretty obvious to you beforehand, but you continued to deny it. You finally gave in, admitting it. But you didn’t expect for Suou to confidently approach you the next day and confess.

He went on for a while, explaining his feelings and what he thought of you. He finished much less confidently, shyly asking if you would allow him to be your knight. You were a blushing mess as you accepted, causing the redhead’s face to light up. He was about to hug you when he stopped himself, apologizing. He got too excited. He promised to stay by your side as your knight.

Suou can’t help but spoil you. Normally, he would nag and nag at others if they were as lazy as you. But, for some reason, he can never bring himself to lecture you like he would to Leo. He attempts to nag at you, but fails miserably. Suou doesn’t mind your clingy nature at all; especially since he is a bit clingy himself. He is just as easily jealous as you, preferring to keep you to himself. This can get a bit annoying for others, especially when you need to do producer work. It’s not a problem for him to handle your rudeness. He knows that you often don’t mean what you say, and knows not to take it too harshly; though it’s a bit difficult for that part. He’s rather hard on himself, and sometimes can’t help but take what you say to heart. Of course, you would notice when he does, as it causes a huge difference in his mood and actions. Most of the time, he doesn’t mind.

You two are almost like a mother and child. Suou is always looking out for you, and can get quite overprotective. He will try to set you straight, but it usually ends up with you getting whatever you want. When you try to annoy him, he’ll first nag at you to stop without looking at you. Once he turns to face you, he has no choice but to give in. After getting together, he learned more about your various moods, what affects them, what each causes you to do or say, and how to deal with each. It became easy for him to remember, to the point where he could predict every one of your actions and moods.

The fact that you enjoy sweets is both a blessing and curse for Suou. He loves taking you to bakeries or sweet shops and spoiling you to anything you ask for. He usually ends up eating a lot himself, despite being on a diet. How could he say no, when the sweet smell is everywhere around him and he’s forced to watch you eat? As for video games, Suou is terrible. When you convince him to play with you, he always loses. He isn’t much for games like this, but he doesn’t mind playing with you now and then. If it’s not a multiplayer, he doesn’t mind just watching either. But expect him to nag at you first, reminding you of more productive things you could be doing. Overall, Suou is a pretty chill guy. He knows you really well, sometimes better than you know yourself. He’s always trying to set you on the right track, but often ends up spoiling you. It doesn’t seem like something he would do, but he has a weak spot when it comes to you. Suou would balance lecturing and spoiling you, to help you do things, and rewarding you afterward. That is, when he finally gets you to give in to what he asks. Suou would be a lot like a parent to you, and quite the sugar dad as well. Suou would protect you at any cost, as your dedicated knight; and you’re a princess worth protecting.

other matches: Mao, Yuzuru
