park sungho ⭒ the one who lets you go

at first, all sungho did was listen to you as attentively as possible, shaking his head. he memorized your words, understood your reproaches, problems. he understood your point of view and what led you to your final decision — and even though the idea of losing you drove him crazy, he was willing to let you go if it meant your happiness. all that ever mattered to him was that you were happy every day of your life, so if he no longer made you happy, it was absolutely out of the question for him to hold you back. but even though he watched you go with a heavy heart, he never regretted letting you find a better life.

lee riwoo ⭒ the one who begs you to stay

« you can't do this to me y/n. listen, i can fix that.. please, let me try. » was sanghyeok's reaction when he heard you tell him you wanted to break up. tears rolled down your cheeks, and only he knew how much that simple sight broke his heart — he was determined to make things right, to rectify his mistakes and heal your wounded heart. he couldn't give up without trying, and he was convinced that the two of you would be able to repair your relationship. « i'm sorry, i'll be a better boyfriend for you. forgive me y/n, will you? » he said, and you could hear through the crack of his voice how sincere he was, which made you think that maybe he'd be able to save what you'd worked so hard to build together.

myung jaehyun ⭒ the one who cries

you saw it the second you started your sentence, his eyes filling with tears. jaehyun has never been good at hiding his emotions — and you would have loved not to be so touched by mere drops of water. because the second you saw them rolling down his cheeks, you wanted to take him in your arms and console all his sorrows : but one tear led to another, they now flowed down your face. then it was his turn to approach you, wiping away your tears with his fingers, reminding you why you loved him so much, and why you didn't want to lose him. « i promise i'll try harder to give you a better love story, but please y/n.. don't break up with me. » you didn't know if continuing was a good idea, but at the time, your heart felt too weak to lose the half it'd been close to for so long.

han taesan ⭒ the one who dares not react

when you announced that you wanted to break up with, even the neighbors probably heard dongmin's heart breaking. and the words aren't used in vain : it really did break into lots of little pieces, while the boy just watched you without saying a word. he didn't dare make the slightest movement, or say the slightest thing, he was completely petrified. his heart was screaming at him to hold your hand, apologize and make things right with you — but the voice in his head and the muscles in his body ordered him to do nothing, and simply to endure. and it was when he heard you slam the door to his house that he realized it was all over, that his heart would probably stay broken for a long time to come because of his lack of reaction.

kim leehan ⭒ the one who doesn't know what to say

donghyun remained silent throughout : watching you with lost eyes trying to understand what was really happening. why were you breaking up with him? had he done something wrong? he had so many questions to ask — but his throat was completely knotted, as if no sound could escape. he didn't know what to say or how to react, it was so unexpected and unthinkable, that he didn't know what to think. and even when you started to get up to walk away from him, turn on your heels and sign the official end of your relationship, he didn't know what to say to hold you back, and let you go without a word from him.

kim woonhak ⭒ the one who don't believe you

a laugh to leave his lips when he heard your words : you, wanting to break up with him? woonhak couldn't believe his ears. but when he saw how sad and serious you looked, the poor boy soon lost his boyish smile. something was wrong : why would you want to break up with him when everything seemed to be going so well between you? so he frowned, reaching for your hand, which you quickly pulled away. « you're kidding, right? » he asked as you looked away, excusing yourself just before slipping away — leaving him completely alone with a thousand unanswered questions.

How would you define how Yoohyun feels about Yerim? Since obviously his opinion of her has improved since they first met, but I don't know if he actually likes her

HMMM i don't know that Yoohyun is actually like physically capable of liking anyone besides Yoojin! i'm kidding but also only slightly. like if you remember what Irin says in chapter 287, it goes "AN INSANE PROPORTION OF YOOHYUN'S THOUGHTS ARE ABOUT YOU [YOOJIN] COMPARED TO THOUGHTS ABOUT ANYONE ELSE I PROMISE", so if you're including his feelings towards Yoojin as a comparison point, it's going to skew the chart to unreasonable levels, and it'd look like the answer is No, Yoohyun doesn't care about Yerim at all

HOWEVER. if you EXCLUDE Yoojin from the chart then Yerim actually ends up being one of the two people Yoohyun likes most! with the other being Peace. from 287, in Irin's words, 80% of Yoohyun's thoughts that aren't about Yoojin are instead about Yerim and Peace. of course, that's exclusively based on the fact that Yerim and Peace both also like Yoojin the most. Yoohyun cares about other people in proportion to how much they care about his hyung, single-minded little idiot that he is /affectionate.

BUT THAT ASIDE! i think he does care about Yerim in a couple different respects. one is that he trusts her in a way that's different from people like Seok Simyeong or Kim Sunghan—you'll notice that in chapter 239, he explicitly designates her (and Peace) as the first two people he actually recognizes as part of "his world", which is a position not even his closest guild members have enjoyed, despite him clearly trusting them to do their jobs well and look after Yoohyun himself to some degree. he trusts her to look after Yoojin, which is probably the deepest level of belief he can hold in someone other than his hyung. and for the same reason—that she cares above all for Yoojin and his happiness and his safety, and can back up that care with the ability to protect him—i do think he likes her!

Yoohyun also cares about Yerim's wellbeing (again, in relation to Yoojin! in that he knows Yoojin will be sad if Yerim isn't okay. this is something a lot of people who care about Yoojin are aware of and account for: that they can take care of him indirectly by looking after the other people he loves. you see it with Sung Hyunjae lending Yerim his flame-resistant coat in chapter 126, and Yoo Myeongwoo making sure Yoohyun has the best equipment in chapter 240, both for Yoojin's sake). she's not only important to Yoojin himself, from which Yoohyun derives some level of actual care, but also one of Yoohyun's guild members and technically part of his family, which adds a sense of duty and responsibility for her into the mix. remember when he blew Gakuto through a pillar because he called Yerim a bitch in chapter 215 with the whole That's My Guild Member You Motherfucker attitude... i thought that was pretty funny of him. and like. when Yoojin was straight up dead for a while there in 240, the only thing stopping Yoohyun from following him into death on the spot was the thought that he had to make sure Yerim (and Peace and the others) knew. so that they could actually grieve him instead of just never knowing what had happened to him. he cares about them!!! he does!!! it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack compared to his love for Yoojin but he does!!!!!

of course i do also think that Yoohyun finds her incredibly annoying. they're constantly squabbling, this isn't a far-fetched guess, they fight to the point that chopsticks somehow end up embedded in the dining room wall and yoojin has to scold them to quit it in chapter 171. yerim's constantly on the verge of calling him ugly. that one time early on in chapter 48 when she was like WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN TO ME and he trotted out a whole bullet point numbered list without missing a beat. i bet he still has a list now, just with different reasons on it. but like. that's just normal siblings innit. you care about each other a whole fucking lot but you would also sell them to satan for one corn chip or however that goes.

TL;DR: yoohyun likes her but he'd probably die before he said that in as many words. not out of unwillingness or anything, just because it wouldn't occur to him to. yerim knows without him needing to say it, after all.

(where's my evidence for that, you ask. well! spoiler excerpt from chapter 331 from Yerim's POV about how Yoohyun has acknowledged and accepted her below the cut)

However, she couldn’t help the presence of anxiety in her relationship with Han Yoojin. It was love that all but dropped out of the sky one day. The claim that it was because she was an S-rank Awakened person wasn’t enough. What was more, Han Yoojin was crowded with exceptional people at his side. Han Yoojin clearly cared for Bak Yerim, but it was difficult for Bak Yerim to think she was special to him. Couldn’t it be that what she’d suddenly gained might suddenly disappear? The one who quelled that anxiety she tried to ignore was none other than Han Yoohyun. Han Yoohyun had hated Bak Yerim. Because his hyung liked her. Han Yoohyun had accepted Bak Yerim. Because she liked his hyung. Han Yoohyun had acknowledged Bak Yerim. Because she had the ability to protect his hyung. It was a relationship entirely based on Han Yoojin, but if anything, Bak Yerim was relieved and happy because of that. This was Han Yoohyun, who Han Yoojin was everything to, who was beyond difficult when it came to things relating to him. That harsh guy had accepted Bak Yerim standing by his hyung’s side.

points at them. Yerim feels accepted and cared for by Yoohyun

Fourth of July specific Headcannons

• John makes the entire holiday his own personal runway, always has. His parties back in Atlanta were the biggest and most exclusive events in the state. He had the best food flown in, the best music, the best drinks, and the best people. Sure, now in Hope County he can't exactly fly in anyone to cook but he can cater, and yeah there's no liquor allowed but what Joe doesn't know won't hurt him, will it? Lightly spike the punch bowl. Live music is just the Eden's Gate choir now but hey, they learned new songs for this and they're quite proud. But no one, and I mean no one, can stop him from dressing up for the occasion. It'd be a sin not to, wouldn't it?

• Joseph spends the entire day reading old historical texts from the nation's inception to Jacob, hoping it helps soothe him. He pretends its just because he's concerned about Jacob but he also just really hates parties. He makes an appearance at the end to make a speech about how this country might have failed them now, but it started with a dream very similar to theirs: freedom, faith, and guns.

• Jacob hates this fucking holiday. Hates it. The fireworks sound like mortar fire to him. This country has done nothing but use and abuse him his entire life. But, his brother likes it, so he tries to. Demands to be in charge of grilling, absolutely destroys the dance floor. Knows exactly what's in the punch, steals the entire bowl for himself. Locks himself in his room before the heretics start their firework displays so he can't accidentally hurt someone during a flashback.

• Faith absolutely adores any excuse to make everyone in Eden's Gate be outside and cheerful. Everyone's so sad and pale! They need fresh air and Bliss! They need joy! They need to celebrate The Father! Like she does! The Angels set up the entire party, she's the queen of decorating. There's fun activities, corn hole, water balloon fights, sparklers. She's in charge of deserts so there's cute little cakes and candies. The priestesses brings the kids out to celebrate with them.

•On the flip side, The Rye family has hosted a Forth of July party every year as well. Chad's bbq is there, there's usually some recreation of the Teasty Festy treats, Nick flies all the little kids around in his plane to see the fireworks from the sky. Pretty much everyone who doesn't show up here is at the Spread Eagle doin half price shots or doing whatever the hell Sharky is doing. The Ryes really just love any excuse to gather everyone together for something positive, something happy. Kim's Canadian. Nick has average levels of patriotism (aka hey! Its an excuse to grill and drink)

• Charlemagne Victor Boshaw is holding his own shindig at his place. There's pizza, and beer and weed. Do many people show up? No, but its hard to compete with Chad so he isn't complaining, really. Plus it means more for him! He and Hurk spend the whole day drinking, watching movies, and then spend all night lighting their ridiculously complicated homemade firework setup with flamethrowers and watching the whole sky turn white. God bless America for not making laws about flamethrower ownership.

hello hello! i saw your post and need your thoughts and verdict (hypothetically) for yhk in the last chapter. what would yjh and hsy do once kdj woke up, what if he never woke up and remains unreachable to them after all the effort?

thoughts on doksoo/ joongdok centric and which (poignant) scene makes a neuron lit up and go ah, them. and makes you go crazy, like, every single scene might as well an orpheus and eurydice-d, such as that "cancel your skill, kim dokja"

DHGFVJDFGV sorry you're just such a joy to read on the tags as you go through the story on tumblr since the yhk tags are most often then not, lifeless

Aaaaa thank you for this it's a fun ask! :D

Personally I believe Dokja woke up. Both because I want a happy ending for them and because I wouldn't put it past yoohan to track down and kill everyone who read orv and imagined a sad ending. But also I think him waking up is only the first step. There's no way things aren't complicated afterwards because Dokja will feel guilty for putting his friends through the trauma of losing him and his friends will try and convince him that he deserves love and they don't mind but at the same time the trauma is real and it's there. So it's going to be a long road to helping him forgive himself even if they all have done so already.

I feel like YJH would be pushy at first. Like this is the guy who became a terrorist rather than try therapy. He wants to find meaning through Dokja, to ask Dokja how he's supposed to live now, and that's a lot of pressure that none of the others will want to fall on Dokja's shoulders. Which I think will be good for HSY because it let's her fall into the comfortable zone of yelling at YJH for being terrible at expressing himself and ignoring her own terrible emotions as much as possible in the mean time. So I kind of see it like:

YJH & HSY: Screaming clawing kicking biting each other outside the hospital because HSY thinks YJH is being too pushy with Dokja and YJH thinks he's helping both of them by asking Dokja for guidance and HSY is getting in the way of his recovery.

Sangah, calmly pouring herself and Dokja tea inside his hospital room: So I spoke to your mother today and she'll be here soon! Oh don't worry about those two they'll probably only break a few bones.

But then if he never did wake up... I don't think either of them would be able to truly move on. I think they'd keep hoping that he would get better and the longer he doesn't the more the likelihood grows that one of them snaps and comes up with another reckless life threatening plan to increase the odds of his recovery. I'm not sure what it'd be but I like to think HSY is the one that snaps first this time. Just goes up to YJH like "hey are you ready for me to subject you to more horrendous torment for the slim tiny chance that it could make Dokja wake up" and YJH is like "naturally".

Whether they actually succeed or whether their plan is so terrible and hopeless that Sangah has to step in and force them to accept he's gone (an impossible task but she'll push them as close to the acceptance stage of grief as she possibly can.) I'm not sure. Either way it'd be fun to read about. I haven't looked into the side stories yet but I'm curious if they might make me change my mind about any of this. For now this is how I imagine it going down anyways.

Doksoo are insane and they consume my every waking thought. Reading the webtoon after the novel is so crazy because HSY really shows up as this random villain and no one including her has any idea that she's one of the three most important people in the universe. Like she's just a little fella. A prankster who's pranks sometimes involve murder. And the way she and Dokja are so unimpressed by each other and have no idea how much they'll end up loving each other... I feel like rereading any early doksoo interaction is going to come with extra loud clown music like even Dokja calling her a plagiarist and Sooyoung being like ugh you're such a cliche like oh you dumbasses. You have no idea.

I enjoyed both doksoo and joongdok's early banter a lot like it always added a ton of energy into every scene. But the moments it really clicked for me was the whole reincarnation island arc for doksoo. Like reading his narration about Sooyoung it's like ohhhh my god he's down bad. He's as in love as I am. He doesn't even realise it but he is so enamoured by her. Like that was the moment I could see the potential for them to become as important to each other as they did. The foundation and foreshadowing was done so well, not one bit of their relationship progression felt unearned.

And then for joongdok I think it was their divorce era that really got me on board. Like they were fun in the early stages but once Dokja is convinced there's no going back and is actually emotionally vulnerable and honest with YJH and YJH gets to vent his own frustrations about being nothing more than a character... It really solidified their bond for me. It brought Dokja down to YJH's level rather than the reader he was trying to be to YJH's character. Plus we get HSY dying and traumatising Dokja for once instead of the reverse. It's what they deserve.

Also punisher and transfem YJH and everything that's implied in the novel and how that would add to to her dynamics with doksoo. Haven't gotten any solid thoughts on that yet but the concept is slowly taking a grip on me.

So yeah after the reincarnation island arc I was so fully on board with this ot3 and every single Orpheus moment that followed hit right into my heart.

Sorry this is so long and barely scratches the surface alsjsjdhdh. I'm still processing everything but man. What a story. What a trio. Wretched mirror soulmates with toxic codependency my beloveds.

if you could, would you have wanted for 0!yjh to meet dkos even just for a short nice moment (besides the canon one at the very end)? even if he would forget about it all in the end? vahdhv jgdjk how would that even go in your head 🤣

though i know he didnt suffer the way 41!yjh did it'd be so funny to see his reaction since 41 had such a.. memorable one XD i love them dearly. i want them to lose their shit and be down bad for a man they never met lol 41 had not even had an inkling of kdj's existence before yet fainted at what. happiness?? lol. and imagining 0 who knows kdj and has been getting help from dkos seeing his face and talking to him makes me scream

oh. ohhh man yeah ive thought about it although very briefly cuz with the way the 0 storyline is structured leaves a lot of room for imagination but also makes it clear that kdj cannot descend. but let's just say it's not the case, how it would go. maybe they'd meet during constellation banquet. yjh would be invited as seoul's representative, although he has (maybe) no story to inherit and no regression restrains at the time.

in walks kdj. yjh notices. hes rather young and much inexperienced, not exactly hardened by regression depression and still has that light-in-his-eyes so to speak. for yjh I'd say the first meeting would be bordering cute-awkward angle. this is still the guy who was paying for their private midday tryst all the time btw (yes. even during 0th turn) surely there must've been a few dms outside the context of scenario revelations that the two of them shared

for kdj, on the other hand, he'd feel probably sad, maybe even silently cry a little. he misses his own yjh and his own companions too. while 49 was busy having existential dread, 51 was having the time of his life with 0 after all. he succeeded in making him happy regardless where that happiness lead him.

gonna be talking abt side story now

oh 41yjh is still so... the human personification of "the tip of the iceberg" we know nothing about that guy. kdj knows nothing about him. hsy has no idea who he is. kdjs narration about him is both at fault and not at fault at the same time. cuz the og 41st turn isnt even written in twsa to begin with. nor is the 40th turn written either. kdj saw the one short paragraph of 41yjh shutting off his heart during that turn and using his companions for his benefit and ran with it and you cant even blame him cuz thats the only thing tls123 wrote of that turn. hsy mentions at some point during the epilogue that she and yjh (1863rd turn) did talk about events of his past regressions so twsa is not all "hsy's imagination" and yjh also mentions to biyoo that he doesnt remember the 41st turn so what if it was 1863yjh the one who told hsy that exact paragraph?? thoughts like these keep me up at night

and contrary to kdj's narration and lhh's fears, 41 isnt actually a monstrous existence. he cares for people and helps them. he loves people and people love him in return just as much. he is confused this time around though I'll give him that much. there are strange people around him. people who know him and the scenarios. people who keep mentioning this guy named kim dokja so much even he gets curious about him. most importantly his "archenemy" of the previous round is *gasps* not evil anymore. he knows something is going on just is far away from finding out what exactly.

#ask #orv #yoo joonghyuk #41 is still a rude rude man but that's his charm and i find it extremely endearing #i bet kdj does too #and lhh #he has way too many things going on rn but I'm hoping that s3 of the side story will be a little calmer for them #also fearing for lhh's life as we speak cuz he used 41yjh as a meat shield and caused him to faint lmao #i assume that will be the equivalent of joongdok's “i will return the hit you gave me” #joongdok #kim dokja #lee hakhyun

On Kinn’s ending

I have seen people say that this was a sad ending or a “false happy ending” for his character arc, and I’m going to try and express why I very much disagree with that.

It’s true. Kinn didn’t choose this life. As the second child, he had dreams once. Dreams that are now ironically being lived by Kim. But I want to emphasize one thing clearly: when Tankhun had his incident, that path became lost to him permanently. He can’t leave his family behind and he would never do anything to hurt them (like faking his own death to escape). Sure he thought about staying lost in the forest, but it was just that. A thought. (Will get back to his feelings in the forest in a bit.) He has a complicated and unhealthy relationship with his father, sure, but he does love him. And he loves Tankhun. He cares about his people. So he can’t just vanish. But that has always been Kinn’s tragedy. And it was never going to magically go away. The irrevocable fact that he lost his childhood dreams for good. And as much as it makes my heart hurt, I like that about him. That he cares about his family. That he’s a responsible person.

Now, I think that looking at Kinn in his role as head of the family and going “poor boo boo doesn’t want to do this, he hates every second of it :((((” is a major disservice to his character and strips away several layers from him. You see, I’m not convinced that he 100% hates it. He’s just too good at it. It’s the way he holds himself, the way he talks, the look in his eyes. On some level, I think he likes the power and authority.

So let’s look at his arc this season. You see, I don’t think that Kinn’s issue with his job was ever the murder or violence or any of that stuff. What I mean is, I don’t think he’s bothered by a guilty conscience at all. He grew up in it. The thing that was slowly eating him alive about his position was the loneliness. The lack of balance in a hard world. The not being able to trust anyone. Not having anyone to be himself with. Kinn closed himself off from everyone around him, had sex without feelings whenever he felt the urge, and became a hard man. Because that time he opened himself up to someone, he got hurt. He got hurt, and his family was put in danger. His people were put in danger. So Kinn decided, never again. He locked his heart away, and became the facade of cold mafia leader. And he was so lonely. Starved for tenderness.

Then comes Porsche. And Porsche basically turns his world upside down. His carefully crafted exterior doesn’t take long to crack. And after a rollercoaster of a first month, Kinn drops his guard completely in the forest. There we finally see the real Kinn at his most pure. No obligations. No one to pretend for. The two of them talk about their dreams and grow close, and a part of Kinn never wants to go back. Part of him doesn’t want to be found. Part of him wants to run away with Porsche in that moment when he lets him go. But again, he can’t. It was never an option.

So they go back, and Kinn realises that he took a part of the forest back with him. He can still be himself. With Porsche. He can be his dorky, cheesy, loving, soft self with Porsche. He learns that it was never about a place. He has found his freedom in Porsche. He can have softness in a hard world. He learns to let himself be cared for. He learns to trust. He learns to balance his duties and his love. All with ups and downs. And he grows so much.

As for their vacation at Porsche's place in episode 12, I don't think Kinn truly believed it'd be forever. I think he understands how much his dad needs him as head of the family, and he was using this to get Korn to make it up to Porsche in some way. And Kinn was willing to stay away from home for as long as it took to make it happen. It doesn't much matter to Kinn where he is or for how long, as his happiness isn't tied to a place.

Kinn will always have to bear the burden of his responsibility. But he won’t have to do it alone anymore. Porsche is by his side now. And no, not under him because he’s “minor family” head. They were very clearly in stating that they’d become one. They’ll do this together, side by side. Orchestrated by Korn or not, I think it’s beautiful. Because he’s underestimating them. He doesn’t understand how deep their bond really is. And Kinn has been slipping from his grasp. Throughout the season, we saw Kinn not listening to him, going against him. Choosing Porsche over him.

Kinn and Porsche have each other’s backs, and I think they can take on the whole world together. And Kinn will never be lonely again.

Hi. I quite like the changes to the original Lloyd Frontera, which are a bit different from the novel. And I felt like there were two panels that I thought would be a good opportunity to ask other people what they think. So, what do you think about these two panels?

(I hope they don't ruin the good things we got this week in the next episode)

Oh and yes, what do you think webcomic! Javier will be like in the next episode? He now knew that Kim Suho was the fake Lloyd Frontera (I really don't like this change,) and from the look he had after knowing that the other voice talking to Kim Suho was the real Lloyd Frontera's, I have a really bad feeling about this. Is there a possibility that they will make Javier a meanie?

honestly. best two panels of the entire episode i'm not gonna lie. i am always down for getting more lloyd&arcos&marbella hugs and i know we already saw this one but it's from another angle so i'm counting it.

and it's a perfect adaptation of that very heartbreaking moment in og lloyd's internal monologue. not much i can say i think it was a great moment!

it is sad and heartbreaking and completely justified. arcos and marbella aren't happy here because they think their son has been replaced by a stranger, they're happy because they think their son has turned a new leaf and stopped destroying himself and others.

the webcomic apparently didn't do a great job at making this clear, but the issue with og lloyd wasn't a simple matter of him being annoying, or lazy or even him being alcoholic. he was being genuinely harmful to the people around him, he was violent and abusive and he didn't want to change. he had plenty of chances to be, if not amazing, then at least decent. hell, him just doing nothing would've been a step up from where he was.

but no, he was angry at being born in the middle of nowhere and decided to take it out on everyone around him. nevermind that he was a noble, heir to a estate, with plenty of chances to make something of himself if he so wanted to.

that's something ep 115 did pretty well actually, made it very clear that it wasn't about skills or talent or opportunities. it was very much down to what they did with what they were given. and og lloyd didn't do anything with what he had.

god what a great moment i wish we could get this level of quality and seriousness every chapter

but yeah! i think the beginning of this episode was amazing and very well adapted. i have my doubts about the grim reapers cause,,, those aren't in the webnovel and i'm always a bit wary of just throwing stuff at the already shaky worldbuilding of tged but like. who cares at this point akjshdka

as for what they're planning with javier. i have no fucking idea. i don't know what's their plan with him. his whole deal after the reveal in hell completely depends on him not telling lloyd he knows and initially being conflicted about trusting lloyd after figuring out he's a fake but,,,, well, that doesn't apply to the webcomic anymore. so we're officially on uncharted waters. don't like that <3

it would be really silly of them to make javier suddenly have an issue about it when they already made him not give a shit a couple chapters ago. it would make no sense from a character standpoint and it'd be just,,, tedious to see him go back and forth on a topic he'd already reached a conclusion about. so i doubt they'll go that route but also. i have no high hopes about lee hyunmin's ability for good character writing lmaoooo

Premise: The Boneyard reduces all to bone and ash, your return to Sanctum is far from easy. Broken and warped metal is easy to fix, but the weight of trauma makes it easy to lose your way without a guiding light.

A/N: Trying something new for Minutes After and releasing it in chapters since otherwise it'd take a million years to complete. I promise things get better for Kai... eventually.

It’s almost foreign as air bursts into your lungs as your brain startles awake, there’s a lingering twist in the air as you sink further into… a couch?

The leather feels familiar and somehow not? Like the touch of a parent that you no longer remember.

Sunlight pours and scatters, trickles through with warmth glittering air.

Was everything a dream? 

Still, the sadness and depression lingers heavy in your chest like an immovable weight.

Your hands clench as your jaw tightens with a heightened edge, your eyebrows knit together, eyes scanning over the cramped living space.

A place you hadn’t seen in months.

Your brain stirs like a whirlwind, waves of nauseating sickness settle in your throat as the room spins.

Air bursts from your lungs once again as an almost numbed edge of pain spreads through your chest, a sudden impact.

A water bottle, pain made more predominant with a solid hit into your ribs.

Your necklace.

You catch a worried look at the corner of your vision.

Her necklace.

Your brain splinters with sorrow-edged shards, fragments cut and bite at your mind.

Memories bleed and trickle.

The door handle is cold against your palm, metallic dead and lifeless. 

Your breath hitches as your hand trembles, your home. 

Her home. 

Your blood itches with something deeper, hope tangled with anxiety. 

The door catches ever so slightly when you push. 

A flare of hope in a dark ocean. 

Still, it scampers forward, an envelope bends and crinkles underneath. 

You're surprised you can make it out in the cool dead of night. 

It wasn't often things were out of place, Heejin's art supplies aside. 

Something was off, as you tug at the envelope trapped desperately against the familiar wood door. 

Muffled guitar strings echo through your ears, familiar. 

The lyrics are on the tip of your tongue, so close yet so paradoxically close. 

Freed into your grasp the envelope rests but your eyes don't. Weary though they may be, the strum of guitar only heightens your nerves. 

That's when you see it even in the blanket of darkness, one chair ever so slightly out of place. 

An offered hand.

An article of clothing rests on its shoulders.

Her jacket. 

Your jacket. 

You fight at the weight in your lungs, an anchor you can't fight against as you're dragged into the deep. 

Any breath you take is hard fought and laboured, the strings of her guitar dance vividly clear in your ears, haunting you with her sweet melodic voice. 

I take picture of you

Especially best of you

You stumble with weakening knees, each step is a burden you don't wish for. 

Don’t care if it’s not really pretty

Just record now this time to share this feelings with you

Each step echoes like BM's, torn away from the wilting flower you loved so dear. 

You took my time with you

With my very first kiss

Each breath is almost your last as you collapse against her chair, clawing desperately at her jacket. 

Don't mind if it ain't really romantic

From my head to toe, I feel the love from you

Sobs threaten to crack through your chest with honey-soaked shards of glass.

Wanna sing this moment for us

Still, you can't breathe even as your fists clench against the material., an aching plea for release. 

This love could make me alone

Your heart drags across your throat with a scalding desperation, your thoughts echo back to her lips as life wilts from her. 

Now or forever

Your fault. 

The thought ticks and burrows at your throat. 

Your brain claws desperately for any form of release as your eyes clamp shut. There's an itch to your skin that begs to be released. 

With you, I'd float everywhere

Everything is overwhelming, like waves in a storm. Each drop of water could drown you. 

There's a ghost of a tug at your sleeve. It snaps at your brain like a whip. 

Your eyes dart over towards it, a cold beer. 

With you, I'd

The first domino in a chain. 

A stupor not too unlike a storm, dreary and unending. A whirlpool of grey apathetic muck. 

Days roll by like the crash of waves against the shore, unforgiving and unabating. Your room offers little refuge even in your prolonged drunken stupor, a heavy dread hangs at the edge of every breath.

At least her voice was silent, still, you can feel your mind rotting slowly, a decay you feel through your entire body.

Weak in mind body and soul.

Sleep is your only respite, yet nightmares walk through the cracks in your drunken haze, a plunge deeper into the abyss with every twist of the knife.

A knock echoes against your door. Fear grips your heart with a ravenous need. 

The noise is soft and tentative like it’s cast by her hand.

Your hands fumble and clatter against empty bottles and cans, searching desperately for even a hint of liquor.

The knock echoes deeper this time, “Kai.”

The voice is deeper, sombre.

BM.

There’s an air of hesitation that lingers at the edge of his voice. A burden not too dissimilar to your own.

Your throat grumbles, dry and hoarse. Your muscles ache as you drag yourself to the door. 

What do you even say?

You can make out a slow inhale on the other side. “.....I.”

There’s a strain to his voice, weak and tender. 

BM had been a rock for as long as you’d known him.

She considered him a trusted confidant.

His fingers tap against the door frame, there’s an almost pained intake. 

“There’s food on the counter…”  your hand crests the handle, a desperate tug the only thing separating the two of you. “I-She…”

There’s an almost angered sigh, “We were close… an-and well,” he struggles as his voice cracks and weakens.

“I figured if you need someone to listen, well maybe I could be there for you like… I was for her.”

You feel his fingers trace over the door, there’s an almost sad chuckle. “I can understand if not… But I’ll pop by everyday with food.”

There’s a soft sad smile pressed into your lips, your brain flickers over Heejin’s memories, his strong calm grip as he ruffled her hair.

The nights he spent at the Calosso estate, her babysitter whenever Lady Calosso was away on business.

Her memories echo with a soft emptiness, a lonely house. Blooms of warmth dance in the memories of BM.

His laughter is muffled and distant but even you can see the smile that graces Heejin’s face as he throws a soft plush Alpaca at her face.

There’s a certain recognition and surprise in her eyes, a wild happiness even in the cold lonely echoes that stain her memories of the Calosso estate.

An early birthday present.

“Isn’t it a bit early?” She teases, still there’s a soft edge that only you can feel.

His nose scrunches as he ruffles her hair, “pretty sure the clock is just broken.”

Her smile deepens.

“Pretty sure it says it’s ice cream o’clock.” He adds with a hearty laugh.

Still, her smile falters. “I should probably head to bed actually.” There’s a lingering dread only afforded to the bullied. “I have school.”

He presses his palm to her forehead, a thoughtful look lingers at the edge of his eyes. “I dunno, it seems like you’re coming down with something.”

He nods to himself, a smile bristles across her lips. “What’s the cure doc?”

His head tosses from side to side, “late night ice cream and siegeball vods.”

His footsteps bounce softly against the hardwood floor of your apartment, you beg for your body to twist the knob.

To reach out with the last of your strength, yet an edge of embarrassment lines your brain, a gross damaged shell of your former self.

Your grip falters as your front door closes, a lifeline lost in the torrent of a storm.

Your knees buckle as you slump against the door, your knees collide violently against the protective shell.

Pain blooms in your knees and in your heart with an almost solemn glow.

The colour blue awash in a sea of grey.

There’s a weird… happiness? To feel something among the crashing waves of apathy.

Even if it was a mess of sadness and guilt.

Your contact thrums to life against your command, a whisper on the edge of the wind, a voice you heard in your sweetest dreams and worst nightmares.

“Just tell him thanks.”

Her fingers ply and tug at the ears of her Alpaca plushie at the edge of your vision. 

Her eyes avoid yours even as you type, there’s the slightest hint of a frown, a worried edge to her brows.

There’s an odd warmth in her presence, even if you know she’s gone. 

A small candle lit flame to keep you warm in the darkest night.

Even if it burns to hold its gaze.

Her back presses against a wall as she leans, there’s a trepidation that you know all too well. “He blames himself, you know.”

“Why?”

It was your fault after all, a pilot is only as good as their Jovian.

A frown presses into her lips, of course she was privy to your thoughts.

“Same reason you do.” 

It was your fault.

Your eyes dance over a green bottle, half full in your sea of grey.

Her eyes follow yours, there’s a sad quiver of her bottom lip , a soft sorrowful sigh dances in the air as she nods.

She fade away into moondust as you burn yourself, liquor cauterises your mind with each ebb and flow. 

Each night melds into the next, your hands tick away at your sheets. 

Numb. 

Or drunk, it was hard to tell. 

Gray. 

The small glimpses of the day you could muster yourself to see. 

Overcast and dreary, muddled with the light patter of rain. 

Tranquil and well, boring. It felt fake, a tension held tight against the glass right before it shattered. 

Your mind racks against cobbled stone, a sour taste. 

A nightmare. 

Flecks of fire and billow through the air. A moment you relive everyday. 

Somehow it was different. 

Novel in the way it twisted in your gut. 

Pain surges in your chest and you can't breathe, desperate footsteps clang against Glimpse's metal floor. 

Her hands paw desperately at your face, clawing at your skin with ferocity. 

"No no no no no," her voice trembles, practically sobbing as pulls you as close as she can. 

Her touch is so real and visceral, soft and heartwarming. 

Even as pain threatens to tear you apart, the fire billows as Glimpse creaks under the damage, a cardboard house in a flood. 

Still it wasn't like her to come so… Undone. 

She was always so calm and serene, patient and calculating. 

Smart and beautiful. 

There's a frenzy as her eyes scan for anything as her grip hugs you so desperately tight. 

Like you were iridescent sand on the shore. 

She rocks you with a loving embrace and you can't help but wonder what it would've been like to share a dance with her. 

Pain bubbles through your throat with a boiled edge. 

Tears trickle down her face, there's a wild ravenous glint to her eyes infected with a desperate edge. 

You feel it, a weight not quite your own, heavy against your skull, her skull. 

Solo piloting. 

The weight is unbearable, unfathomable to her mind, nothing but an ant in a world of giants. 

You feel a hot trickle ghost over her skin as if it were your own. A deep pain rips through her spine, like feeling each individual atom plucked away tortuously slow. 

Still, Glimpse creaks begging to follow Heejin's command. 

You feel Glimpse's limbs racked with tortured pain, like skin flayed and seared. A painful existence you wouldn't wish on anyone. 

It's white hot, as pain surges against the fragments of your mind. Twisting as the gnarled scream of metal against metal punches through your lungs. 

"I'll… I'll," she mutters an unheard mantra, you feel the wane of her mind, warping under the burden. 

You tempt the briefest glimpse at her, her tears botched with red ink like blood. 

"I'll… save you… Kai."

Blood trickles down her nose as she slowly fades under the weight, you beg your body to move to hold her tight. 

Even bloodied and horrific, she was radiant.

Suddenly she crumples, a puppet without its strings. Still you feel the slightest twitch of her hand against yours as searing heat ripples through the air.

[pplayz]

Name : Grillby Kim

Age : 500 yrs.

Species : Flame soul, Former human

Role : The respected bartender of HoTale la Lunaria's neon Snowdin bar, and an anonymous writer.

Personality : A hint of arrogance, who thinks he's the best in everything, and tends to step over the younger staff. He, however, has a caring heart, and quite a coward himself. He likes challenging others for what he can do, but often loses... Yeah.

Abilities : Although mentioned how he isn't actually that good at everything, bartending was of course, his expertise... I think. He's a great poet, and as a flame soul, he wields pyromancy. However, he acts in defense, and as much as he dislikes the youth, he couldn't hurt a single fly. He also had this weird ability of haunting by unintentionally scaring everyone only with his sadness.

Backstory : Grillby Kim was the most talented scholar to ever pass their regional ministry exam at his time. His tragedy befall him because of innocent stories he secretly wrote which were deemed vulgar during the Joseon Dynasty's era, therefore he was defamed, humiliated, and stripped off his title by the other scholars, and even lost his wife and friends. After his sad death, he was recruited by Sans to his staff to save face and hopefully, clear his name from historical humiliation.

Name : Choi Muffet

Age : 300 yrs.

Species : Arachnid soul, Former human

Role : She was once married to a cruel noble family, now she's the head housekeeper of HoTale la Lunaria.

Personality : Elegance is what describes her. She isn't prideful, however, she is aware of her youth-like looks, and would most likely tease the other staff who stares at her for it (she gets easily annoyed by them tho). She has a fiery and cryptic personality, but has a heart of a loving mother. Hatred is bottled up inside her.

Abilities : Can spin spiderwebs to trap/entangle enemies (she hates making them tho, cuz it'd create a terrible mess), and has excellent reflexes and agility. She could also absorb and compact air into one pressuring force when she's haunting, suffocating a victim.

Backstory : Muffet was a mother in her past life. After her baby daughter died due to her in-laws' negligence, she wandered the streets dazed with her baby's corpse in her arms, while the town called her crazy. When she first met Sans, she was desperate to kill her in-laws, the Han, herself, but instead was suggested to watch their family name purge from existence. Therefore she joined hands with Sans and swore to witness the family line fade for over 300 years as her silent revenge.

Name : Kris Lee

Age : 100 yrs.

Species : Human soul, Former human

Role : The receptionist at the front desk of HoTale la Lunaria, and was a piano prodigy and student.

Personality : Friendly, kind, and cheerful. Unlike the other two main staff, Kris goes along with Frisk pretty well, despite being constantly pushed away from everyone because of his sunshine clinginess. He's filled with sympathy, and is soft-hearted, but has one dark intention underneath his nice nature... a silent desire for revenge.

Abilities : Skilled in piano, swordsmanship and marksmanship, and very agile, so he often likes sneaking up on other staff, especially newbies like Frisk. Because he isn't outright evil as a soul, he does not possess any other supernatural abilities other than possessing the unconscious.

Backstory : Kris was born from a noble family of diplomats. He was a straight A+ student in his academy, very talented, and of course, friendly. What he loves the most was holding hands with his sister and just hanging out with her, riding a bike together across their lawn. During the Korean war, unfortunately, as he was trying to flee with his sister in hand, he was accidentally shot by his own best friend, marking the unexpected end of his life. He may looked obvious, but he admitted that the reason he worked for Sans was because so that he could wait for his sister... Or was that really all that there is?

A/n : Got nothing else to say but—here's the character references for the three main staff characters of my HoTale AU.

❀Stay safe, stay patient, stay strong, stay... Determined, pinksterz!💕

The Truth Untold- Kim Taehyung |

Eleven- take care of you (1.4k) |

The next couple of days are awkward to say the least. After the whole waking up in his bed situation I reverted to avoiding him at all costs.

Waking up in his bed wasn't necessarily the problem, after all I grew up sleeping in his bed. The problem is how right it felt, like slipping back into old habits that's never really left you. But more than that was how much I enjoyed being surrounded by him.

I didn't leave his room straight away after we woke up, instead i stayed curled up in his sheets, wishing he was still holding me, with the excuse that Eun hadn't left for classes yet.

I stayed there in his warmth and presence, simply absorbing it all. But soon Eun's presence started leaking through, in the way that her voice echoes through the apartment while she sings along to her music, the way her light footsteps taper around the house and suddenly I was surrounded by her instead.

That's when reality set in. solidifying its place with the slam of our front door as she leaves.

Tae seemed hesitant when I got up to leave, it almost makes me think he was also sad for this moment to end, but he doesn't stop me.

So now we're back to square one. The only difference is my longing to see him now and that's why I need to distance myself. Just until this passes, up until him and Eun are a thing and I can forget all of these foolish thoughts.

I have successfully avoided anything to do with Kim Taehyung for a solid 3 days now, I would congratulate myself if I wasn't constantly conjuring up thoughts of him.

If I'm being honest, the past 3 days have been hell. Before when I ignored him he let me, it was simple, we both stayed in our own space. But not this time. Nope he just has to make it difficult.

Especially difficult when he wakes up earlier than he usually would, trying to catch me sneaking out on the mornings.

But I survived 3 days, and now I'm being rewarded. With alcohol.

God do I need to get drunk right now.

It was Jin's idea, he suggested me, him, Yoongi, Namjoon, Hobi + his wife and one of his new employees go drinking tonight. I couldn't have agreed quicker. Plus I want to meet this girl he's been talking so much about.

'You heading out?' Instantly freezing in my spot I curse myself for wearing heels that click with every step, knowing he probably heard me walking.

Slowly turning around I scramble my brain on what to say, 'Um yeah I'm going out drinking with my friends.' Casual enough.

'Ah okay. Have fun.' He seems just as awkward as me despite his efforts to talk to me the past couple of days. Seeing him now makes me feel kind of bad, but I brush that off. Everything will be alright when I have some alcohol in my system.

'Thank you.' It's said through a tight smile. Before I quickly scurry my way out of the apartment.

—————

'I love you guys. You know that right.' My friends are currently surrounding me and I could think of no better place to be. Well maybe I could think of one.

'We know.' There're multiple voices at once making me feel dizzy. I can faintly feel someone's arm around my waist holding me up.

'Y/n you've gotta drink some water, and we need to get you home safe, okay?' I can't tell who's talking but either way I'm not very fond of them at the moment.

'What nooooo I'm having so much fun!!!'

'I know you are love but think about how nice it'd feel to be curled up in bed right now. We can even go to mine if you don't want to go home.' Their voice is gentle, much like their arm around me. Finally, looking at them, it takes my eyes a minute to focus on their feature but once I do I recognise him to be Yoongi.

'I wanna stay with our friends though. haven't seen them in so long.' I'm pouting at this point, but I can't find it in me to be embarrassed.

'We'll see them again. Sounds good yeah? But for tonight it's time to sleep.'

'Can I say goodbye first?' My mood has suffered a drastic shift in the last couple of moments.

He nods in reply and I peel myself away from him to give my friends hugs goodbye.

After I've made it round the whole group I begin to hear some sort of bickering.

'So you thought it was a good idea to call him?' Looking over at the noise I see Yoongi, Namjoon and...

'Tae?' Now all of their attention is on me.

'Y/nie.'

'What are you doing here?' I slur, being genuinely confused. 'Did you come to join us?'

'Not quite, no.'

'Oh.' I deflate, hoping that we could all continue drinking.

'He's here to take you home y/n.' Namjoon gives me a soft smile.

'Oh. But I thought I was going home with Yoongi?' Tilting my head I give the boys a questioning gaze.

Taehyung starts to walk towards me, 'Not any more, I'm gonna to take care of you from now on, okay?'

My face lights up at this, 'Okay!' It comes out with a giggle. My carefree happiness seem to be matched with his.

He's smiling down at me and I swear everything feels right in this moment.

Why have I been avoiding him again? I swear I'll never avoid him again because this feeling is something I never want to let go of.

But then again, it might just be that alcohol that's making me feel this way. I decide not to dwell on that thought though, I just want to enjoy this while it lasts.

'Let's get going then.' He's still smiling at me. His boxy smile that does things to my heart. The disappointment of leaving that I felt before is long gone as he grabs my hand to lead me to his car.

I almost forget to say a last goodbye to the others as I stare at our hands connected.

Giving them a quick wave my eyes settle on Yoongi first, he doesn’t seem happy at all. It confuses me, but I’m too carefree to linger on that fact and I soon forget when my eyes land on Mina, Jin's plus one for the night, I giggle as she gives me a wink. She's awfully kind and the memory of how Jin Hyung was doting over her has me yet again giggling. He looked so smitten with her.

Winking back I whisper at her, 'Make sure he works for it.' Although by the way I hear Jin choke and curse at what I mean I don't think I quite executed the discretion I was hoping for.

By this point I'm not really paying attention, too rapped up on how Tae helps me into the passenger seat and straps me in. Far too focused on the way he strokes my hair behind my ear and asks how I'm feeling from his squatting position. Replaying the words that came out in a stolen whisper.

When I finally reply with a soft nod his hand retreats from my face, and he circles the car. I'm disappointed for a moment, until he enters the car and suddenly everything's alright again.

Wanting the contact back I grab his hand and draw it over onto my lap. He seems startled by this, his wide eyes gazing at me, but I just smile back. He eventually returns my gesture and sets his eyes onto the road ahead.

The car ride seems to last an eternity yet not nearly long enough. His thumb is moving in slow circles over my hand and I swear this is the most content I've ever felt.

He's humming along to the distant sound of the quiet music that is coming from the radio. It's a slow and romantic song.

Finding it hard to remove my gaze from his side profile, I eventually decide to gaze out of the window instead. The view is beautiful. Putting the window down I relish in the feeling if the delicate wind blowing through my hair.

This. This is a better place to be I think.

The moment is so perfect, and I find myself being disappointed when I start to recognise the street we're going down. Knowing this moment inevitably has to end. That this feeling has to end.

[lorei-writes]

Hello ahoy there! What are Silvio's fav K-Dramas?

Ahoj!

Now, this is a good question. Very good question.

Short answer: I have absolutely no idea.

Long answer: You know how it happens sometimes that a mutual of yours gets into some fandom you're not into, and then your dash is clogged with said fandom, but they're your friend so you keep on following them, and so it becomes your fandom-in-law?

Yeah, so that's me, my friend, and K-Dramas. By that logic above, I'm watching-in-law, as in she's watching, and then needs to ramble, and I'm always happy to listen, and to see the graphs she draws out sometimes. But it all gets jumbled in my head.

But. Said friend of mine is writing her master's thesis right now. And she's in DIRE need of entertainment. Except IkePri is her fandom-in-law. (I think she saw Silvio's sprite while reviewing their outfits and that's it?) I have seen precisely none of the dramas she mentioned.

To make things spicier (she'd really rather do anything other than write said thesis; R, if you're reading this, go write that damn thesis), my friend asked her friend for recommendations too. So this all is one major game of Broken Telephone, with key words being "jangles", "rich", "prince", "daddy didn't love him", "jerk (? question mark ?)" and "TEARS".

SO. WITH THAT ALL IN MIND. (Would he like them? I don't know. Would it be entertaining to see him cry while watching them, although probably for all the wrong reasons? Yes.)

Business Proposal

I was sold at "And overall, he is emotionally inept, and damn rich, and his parents are not alive, because they died in a [car?] accident, so he has angst from that."

What's wrong with secretary Kim

"Because there is a rich man-jerk, who has a secretary, and she can't stand him anymore, so she decides to find a new job, but he doesn't want to let her go, so he talks with her, and it's super romantic, and all, and it's a classic."

Tempted

"It's like rich people problems and family secrets. Yeah, that's the one I send you the relationship graph for. No, I wouldn't call it good."

Twenty Five Twenty One

"Oh, it's a tear-jerker with sad ending." [So technically it'd at least serve the function of filling up his treasury with diamond tears.]

Other mentioned titles included Sky Castle, Penthouse, Crash Landing. And now it's off topic, but Vincenzo?? Who comes up with those plots?? I mean, me likey, sure, let's subject Silvio to that too.

"Watch My Name tho." was the final order I received.

This was fun xD

HELLO I LOVED YOUR OD B'DAY ART SM !! (pls tell me you didn't see me clowning in the tags haha–) would you be willing to elaborate on why you chose the flowers you did for the 999th gang ? i was curious abt the flowers especially since im a sucker for flower meanings <33 have a good day / night ^^

UHM UHH HI 😳😳 i actually saw your tags before i went to sleep and i was planning to do a rb to my art after i wake up to explain to you further but since you sent in an ask thats awesome LOL

first off i'm glad you liked the art so much!! it is my pleasure to make art that twists the soul

actually you were kinda on the spot with everything! but some flower symbolism additions were part of my own hc for each member and i didn't know that someone would ask about it (nothing bad that you did!) so i'll elaborate below (also spoilers haha)

uriel: yep, lilies! i think it can mean affection for loved ones, but when i was thinking about it i intended for it to mean rebirth, devotion and longing at the same time. i think 999th's uriel went through too much and suffered a lot under bearing the weight of the inevitability of fate, but with OD i felt like her newest family may be a fresh start for her. she seems the most likely to cling to the past, but when faced with the most powerless existence in the universe, uriel would only feel pity and sadness for the god who never lived.

lee jihye: yippee you got it, hydrangeas! i didn't color these in, but the hydrangeas i was thinking of were pink and purple - heartfelt emotion as well as a yearning for compassion. all of the 999th, and i think especially ljh, felt an intense desire for the lives that the 1864th versions of them led. in the end, i would love to believe that they achieved peace, but i think the ancient sorrow and yearning that plagued them will always stick with me.

lee hyunsung: it was obvious from the start but sunflowers - an eternal adoration and loyalty to those around him. i have a lot of feelings about 999th lhs due to the fact that it just hits So Hard that he tries So Much just like in all those other rounds. and yet, despite everything, he will still look towards the light, like a sunflower :) you will never lose the shell again, lhs.

kim namwoon: those are actually wild daisy weeds! thought it'd be funny and a little in character if everyone else chose carefully while he just grabbed some off the sidewalk LOL - on another hand, daisies also symbolize rebirth and motherhood. knw seems like a lonely little fellow to me, and maybe he'll be a mom friend/babysitter figure to OD, who knows? new life, new start.

secretive plotter: yea, tulip :) red and orange. it's simple, yet represents deep, undying and unconditional love. i don't think i need to talk much about that, i just think the SP's ■■ doesn't need a long explanation.

ough this is so long LMAO

anyway this is just my interpretation, which will be different from other people! so if anyone has any other thoughts feel free to scream at me etc etc i would love to hear about them :D

(ok so I realized I haven't introduced my poly polynesian OC relationship so imma do it rn)

INTRODUCING.. VĀ-KĀ YIPPEE ✨️✨️✨️

Vā-Kā is this kinda NZ K-pop group / band I made way back in lockdown, which was 4 years ago, and have since then been thinking about sm (along with all my other 100+ OC's but shh I'll talk about em in another post maybe lolz)

I created them because I was really bored and sad, and it was like, "mm wonder if there's like an NZ K-Pop group... imma make my own for funsies 😈😈😈"

It was supposed to be like a one-off thing, but they turned into this v real thing I could pull off when I'm older and have more experience with art, like I'm literally crying inside because the edits I could animate?? the music?? the unofficial photoshoots?? them in general?? so many ideas are crammed in my head fr

Anywaysss onto like actually talking about them!

There's 8 members overall, 6 girls and 2 dudes, and they're all best friends turned band / K-pop group turned lovers (cause I'm a sucker for friends to lovers fr)

It's kinda like a K-Pop group but not really it's like.. looser. Idk

I will post proper art of them eventually, but I'm so worried about like repping em wrong since like 7 members are POC, and even tho I'm POC, I'm feeling like I'd do something wrong so yeah

But anyways, time for actual lore stuff hooray 🥳🥳🥳

(Lore under the cut lolz)

💜 Tori Tuigamala / Lunar 💜

Tori is the oldest of the group and is one of the main leaders (the group doesn't really have leaders, but they all follow her and Kora since they both have the most level heads about shit.). She's introverted and a bit motherly, except its kinda like she'll nip you around the ears if you don't listen to her fr.

It always feels like she's the one who knows what to do because of how organized she is. She seems to plan out everyones schedule without their permission, even if it comes from a good place.

However, she follows through with the promises she makes every time, and actively tries to own up to whatever wrongdoings either her or her group cause, while watching out for the groups safety because she cares and loves them all so much, even if she doesn't say it enough like she'd want to.

Silly facts:

Dyslexic so often she'll record her notes through voice messages or voice-to-text to make it easier. Otherwise, Kora will note the stuff down when they're in meetings n stuff

Loves mochas, ube roll, chocolate chip cookies, and straight black coffee

insomniac, probably

Smells like pomegranate

Samoan-French, has 2 dads and a younger sister, Toni, who's also in the band

25 years old, oldest member. Bday is 31st August, starsigns a Virgo

Her as a squishmallow would be Violet the Octopus

Bisexual and Demigirl, pronouns are she/her + they/them

Height is 5'9"

A friend said that her clothing style would be similar to Hoonjoong from Ateez, and from analysing, it'd be like.. baggy shirts tucked into high-waisted pants or mom jeans-eque pants, washed out colours, sweaters, and cardigans, generally very soft and casual yet trendy if you style it right yknow

Seungmin-core from the "Which SKZ member are you?" quiz, and Yoongi-core from the "Which BTS member are you?" quiz

Favourite colour is purple 💜💜💜💜💜

One of the main singers of the band/group, the other one is Harper

Music taste is like.. jazz. soul music. R&B. idfk fr 😭😭😭😭

Voice claim is AACACIA cause I've always felt like she'd have this kinda deep-ish soul voice that's a lil bit floaty and lilty (idk how to explain my brain properly fr) and like.. soon as I listened to AACACIA, she just fit

Probably had an emo phase. or a vampire phase. maybe both. we don't talk about it

Eats plain rice when she's stressed, bored, overwhelmed, or all three (like me 😍😍😍😍)

💙 Diana Kim / Fluxx 💙

Diana's a smartie seems so very cold and somewhat distant to the public because of how harsh and blunt her remarks come off as.

Their fandom + her group know that she isn't at all like that and that she has trouble communicating her feelings properly. She loves to talk about space and / or the ocean (it changes each day), makes clothes for group sometimes, does photography, and is actually a very soft and caring person, she just doesn't know how to express it properly sometimes.

It takes her a bit of a while to tho, and when she does, she puts in a lot of time and effort. On the inside, she's very expressive and ambitious, always eager to learn something new, and is encouraging her group with how she sticks constantly to one goal until she makes it without Diana realizing her effect.

Silly facts:

Loves earl grey tea, caramel brittle and carrot cake.

Smells like peppermint

Blasian (African-American + South Korean), has 3 parents (two are her birth parents)

24 years old. Birthday is 16th December, starsign is Sagittarius

Her as a squishmallow would be Perry the Dolphin

Bisexual and Demisexual, pronouns are she/her

Height is 6'0"

Friend said that she'd dress like smart but fashionable. Has a similar style to Seungmin or Hyunjin from Stray Kids, so it's half comfy and fashionable n half smart and fashionable

Changbin-core from the "Which SKZ member are you?" quiz, also Yoongi-core from the "Which BTS member are you?" quiz

Favourite colour is blue 💙💙💙

Plays keyboard / synth for the group

I'm not sure what her music taste is either, but it feels like a mix of classical and jazz music + BTS

Voice claim for her is Bic Runga

Ocean and space hyperfixation, my dudes

Takes photos of her members lovers and sticks it up on her room walls

BTS stan, biases are SUGA / Yoongi and RM / Namjoon

Has an Avatar (blue people) OC lolz

💚 Asher Kieu / virt2 💚

Asher is v v quiet and soft-spoken, barely speaks up in the interview's or stuff the group has. Even though Asher's quiet most of the time, she's very perceptive and can often pick up on what others don't, making her a real good listener.

Is secretly a good cook + baker and sometimes plays piano pieces for the group or the fandom when she has the time on her solo livestreams. (I say secretly cause none of Vā-Kā let her into the kitchen. There's like... a 75% chance she'll set the entire thing on fire. Maybe. Probably.)

She's a very emotional kinda person, can kinda come off as being a bit sensitive even if she doesn't mean to get hurt. The fandom + members compare her voice to like an angels because of how like soft and gentle it sounds. It helps some of their fans, n tbh Asher loves being able to inspire their fandom even if she doesn't involve herself as much as she would like to.

Silly facts:

Likes mint chocolate chip ice cream, lemonade and caramel apples

Smells like vanilla sugar cookies.

Dark skin Vietnamese (still need to figure out the deets), also has 3 parents and a younger brother

23 years old. Birthday is 25th February, starsign is Pisces

Her as a squishmallow would be Serene the Squirrel

Pansexual and Genderqueer, pronouns are she/her + he/him + they/them

Height is 5'5"

Friend said that asher would dress in stuff that's really comfortable, like it doesn't have to look crazy good it just has to be comfy for them to hide and not draw attention yknow

Hyunjin-core from the "Which SKZ member are you?" quiz, Jimin-core from the "Which BTS member are you?" quiz

Fav colour is green (more specifically, mint) 💚💚💚

Backup vocals for the group, n plays acoustic guitar + piano if needed

I have literally no clue for what she listens to 💀💀💀💀💀 maybe like lofi, but I'm not sure yet

Voice claim is Georgia Lines (found her on a NZ mix playlist on Spotify and she kinda stuck instantly)

Strong self-esteem issues (me too ✨️✨️✨️✨️). doesn't choose to be in the spotlight in case it's seen as them showing off

Loves baking. Secret hobby of hers. Has a lil secret room in her room where she bakes and vibes

Autistic probably (me pt 2)

🧡 Kora Faletau / sivk 🧡

Kora is a grouchy but lovable and stupid idiot, keeps the group in check when they're in public, and helps to lighten the mood with some self-deprecating jokes at his expense.

Very intelligent. Smartiepants. High IQ mother fucker. Really tall. And strong. uh. yuh

Is almost always done with the groups shenanigans (especially when Harper, Micah, Toni, and Alto are being lil asshats), but he deals with it because they're the only thing that keeps him sane.

Most honest person in the group tho, will not be afraid to call you out on your shit. You lie to him, he will wrestle ur ass off that high horse in a second (he inherited his mother's sass and attitude to a point ong)

Silly facts:

Likes pizza n pasta despite being lactose sensitive / intolerant. Dumb shithead

Smells like strawberries

Tongan-Latino, youngest of 4 siblings (3 older sisters) n a single mum

23 years old. birthday is 21st September, starsign is Virgo

Them as a squishmallow would be Gary the Giraffe

Demisexual Pansexual + Nonbinary, uses he/they pronouns

Height is 6'3", tallest member

Friend said that Kora would wear whatever he pulls out of the closet and somehow he'd still make it work, so they don't really have a set style and it's all over the place but it fits them

Bangchan and / or Changbin-core from the "Which SKZ member are you?" quiz, Namjoon-core from the "Which BTS member are you?" quiz

Fav colour is orange 🧡🧡🧡

Bassist, does keyboard/synth when Diana's not free + main rapper

Listens to rap n stuff, like Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Logic, and then siren jams because man's would not be complete with blasting some shitty siren jam early in the morning

Voice claim for him is Kings because he's kinda got like a deep kinda scratchy n smooth voice fr

V v Bangchan n Changbin-core like have you seen this dude work out. Mans used to play basketball too cause of his height, so he'd probably be real good at sports shit n like lean n built n muscular lolz

Hates physical contact when they're in interviews or other (hugs and kisses in front of people make him lose his confidence and gets him all embarrassed and shy), but loves it when the groups behind closed doors.

💛 Harper Mayfield / Sun-E 💛

Harper is an absolute ball of sunshine, jokes around and makes fun of her friends, very energetic, and hypes everyone up.

She's always on the move, whether it be from cleaning, cooking, to her favourite dancing, she's always found to be doing something in order to improve on herself.

Bros surprisingly wise and almost always manages to talk down confrontations, and her smile is known to brighten up both the group and their fandoms day. Whenever she makes someone happy, she's happy.

Silly facts:

Likes lemon drops, turkish delight, fry bread

Smells like coconut cream and ginger

Pansexual + Genderfluid , uses any pronouns

Height is 5'11"

Friend said that Harper has like a simple style, like a shirt and jeans with the occasional jacket here and there, plus a lot of accessories. Either that or she'll wear really colourful n confident clothes that she pulls off really easily, so she v much has a style similar to J-Hope from BTS

Jisung-core from the "Which SKZ member are you?" quiz, Hobi-core from the "Which BTS member are you?" quiz

Favourite colour is yellow 💛💛💛

2nd Main Vocalist + Saxophonist for the group

Listens to anything she can dance to, so it'd be like a mix of Hip Hop n Rap. I have a playlist of songs I think she'd dance to for funsies lol

Voice claim is Kimbra, idk she fits fr fr

Down bad. Down horrendously. Easy to fluster and easy to please. Silly silly Harper

Makes a lot of kandi n stuff for the group as accessories for when they dress up n shit. Loves it sm

❤️ Micah Tyjani / DUSK ❤️

Micah is very laid back and chill, takes a whole lotta shit to piss her off. She sometimes helps out Kora with cooking or the younger members (Toni and Alto) with being stupid as shit, but she goes with the flow most of the time.

She's a night owl kinda person too lol. Most of the group go to her for a place to vent or cry because she's so laid-back and lax with it, and she welcomes it all, as she always makes sure to check up on her members.

She cares a lot, and she cares very deeply about all of them, just like they all care for her fr.

Silly facts:

Likes red velvet cake and mashed potatoes

Smells like gingerbread

Voice claim is Ladi6

Works out with Kora. they're both so 🤤🤤🤤🤤 PLUS she can beat people up if they need to, so boom banger

🩷 Toni Tuigamala / Eris 🩷

Toni is the absolute opposite of her older sister. Where Tori is organized and figured out, Toni is brash and all over the place.

Although she fools around a lot and kinda comes off as a bit of a jerk, she can be quiet and caring when needed mhm mhm

Unafraid to speak her mind, and probably joins Kora in the "I shall beat u up with my words and my wit" category. Her wit is sharp, but her tongue is even sharper fr. Sassy lil shit.

Offers the best fashion advice and makes sure that everyone looks their best.

Silly facts:

Likes rice pudding and raspberry cheesecake

Smells like waffles and maple syrup

Samoan-French, two dads, and ofc her older sister Tori

Her as a squishmallow would be Reina the Butterfly

Omnisexual (with the teeniest lean towards women) + Pangender, uses she/they + he/him pronouns

Height is 5'7"

Friend said that Toni would have a similar style to Tori since she's her sister, but like sometimes when he's in the mood, he'd wear something chic. They said that there isn't really a specific theme, but that's how Toni is, she doesn't have a certain theme but if it works it works lolz

Lee-Know-core from the "Which SKZ member are you?" quiz, Tae-core from the "Which BTS member are you?" quiz

Favourite colour is magenta, but I use this soft pink heart for her lolz 🩷🩷🩷

Voice claim is Aaradhna

Flirty. So flirty. So pretty. Gets under Harper's skin a lot, but in a flirty sexy way yknow

🩵 Alto Manukuo / Alto 🩵

Alto's the sweetheart himbo of the group, the bro who can manage to make everyone swoon for him without even trying. Very sweet and kind, has the ultimate puppy eyes tbh

Sometimes, he surfs when he's got the time, but most of the time, he spends it doing gymnastics and / or working out and / or playing with Toni. Likes helping out around the groups house and gives the best hugs for such a short guy. Always energetic and bubbly, will not stop until he'd able to make your day better.

(He's so puppy I NEED HIM 👹👹👹👹👹)

Silly facts:

Likes honeycomb n milk and fry bread

Smells like peach and custard pie

Indonesian-Niuean. youngest of 3 siblings, has 2 older brothers n their two mums

21 years old, birthday is 30th March, starsign is Pisces

Him as a squishmallow would be Harrison the Dog

Bisexual + Genderfluid, uses any pronouns but mainly he/him and she/her

Height is 5'6"

Friend said that though Alto is a cutie because they work out / do gymnastics, so they feel like their closet would mostly have like sleeveless shirts n cropped tops, similar to Bangchan from Stray Kids. Otherwise it'd be soft sweaters n sweatpants because yes

Jeongin-core from the "Which SKZ member are you?" quiz, Jin-core from the "Which BTS member are you?" quiz

Favourite colour is teal, but I use this like light blue emoji for him 🩵🩵🩵

3. and because i know we’re all egocentric, have you ever made yourself laugh out loud or cry with a fic you wrote?

7. what is you favourite sentence/paragraph? read it to us! (you don't have to read it. Just what's your fave sentence or paragraph you've written?)

13. do you make playlists for when you write? if so, share!

I'm so sorry for taking literal ages to get to this ask, but thank you so much for sending it in!

3. And because I know we're all egocentric, have you ever made yourself laugh out loud or cry with a fic you wrote?

Honestly, neither. All of my fics/WIPs have all been pretty serious, I've never gotten to a point where I've come up with something light to make me laugh or readers laugh. However, I've definitely made myself sad thinking of ideas for fics! The OC's that I get sad the most about are all of them just kidding, no, actually it'd have to be Atsuki Koyanagi, Harlow Maye, Kim-001, and Grace Hennessy; I put these characters through a lot and it makes me sad.

7. What is your favourite sentence/paragraph? Read it to us! (Asker can choose what fic)

I already answered this here, but I scoured my WIPs that I kept and found a conversation that I loved writing, it's a bit long, so I apologize in advance and I'll put it below a 'keep reading'! It's a conversation between President Snow and Harlow Maye from my Hunger Games WIP.

"You wished to see me, President Snow?"

"Ah yes, come in Miss Maye. I offer you my condolences on the death of your youngest sister. She had a much different approach to the Games than you did and I was quite hoping she would win."

"Yes, I'm sure you did. Because then you would have both myself and her under your grasp, with half - if not all of the Capitol - clawing and scrambling to get their chance to spend the night with the new Golden Siblings of Panem."

"Now Miss Maye-"

"What? What are you going to do? Kill me? You can't. I'm loved by the Capitol and the Districts, you kill me and you'll have riots in the Districts and your own backyard. You couldn't afford that. Hurt me or kill me and District 10 rebels; they'll cut off all trains going in the Capitol filled with livestock for you and your precious Capitolians. And if that happens, you lose a significant amount of your food source and risk riots from your own people. Bomb or attack District 10 and the same outcome happens. You can't take that risk. Kill my family? You've already seen to that, so that's no longer an option. Sell me to the wealthy of the Capitol? The cruelest, wealthiest, and most powerful of the Capitol? You've already done that and still, here I am. You can't touch me. You can't do anything to me."

"But you still have people you care about! Friends you love! Gloss, Cashmere, Finnick Odair, Johanna Mason, Amos - all of them Victors, all people you care about. I can harm them; I can hurt them."

"They are Victors, three of them are beloved by the Capitol nearly as much as I am. You can't touch-"

"All Victors were once tributes, Miss Maye. And the 75th Hunger Games are just a few months away. Who's to say what surprises the Third Quarter Quell will have in store?

"You may think you have the upper hand here, Miss Maye, but you are out of your league. This is my area of expertise, you are merely a pawn. A piece in a game much bigger than you could ever be. Do not underestimate me. Do not overestimate your sway in things. You are nothing."

13. Do you make playlists for when you write? If so, share!

I actually don't! When I'm writing I like to have what I'm writing for playing in the background so that I have something I can go back to and look at for reference during a specific scene. I'll also play it on repeat which usually kills my muse for that OC quickly, unfortunately. I'll also listen to the soundtrack of the show or movie while I'm editing as well, just so that I can really get into the feel of things. Like for I Am Your Shield, I Am Your Sword, I edited what I have for NaNo and listened to the soundtrack while I was editing to get into a 'Halo mindset.' So unfortunately nothing exciting!

Thank you again for the ask! I really do appreciate it!

If anyone would like to send in one, the link to the ask list is here!

[shslpunkartist99]

So tumblr glitched out for me and rn it's making your posts show up as only blank posts with even the anon messages being blank too. No tags either EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE TAG THAT'S JUST ">:3"

It's not the same case for friend so I asked them what's shown and they told me you announced you were gonna do a upcoming stream with the Punks and Xeno and at first I was excited BUT THEN I REMEMBER THE >:3 and I was just. Punk. What's that >:3 for? Do you have something devious planned later? IS KIM IN ON THIS TOO?? WHAT EVIL MISCHIEF DO YOU TWO SHITTERS HAVE PLANNED???

Then browser crashes on me and I open it back up and everything is normal

and first of all, my friend is a damn liar and ngl I was a bit sad cuz would've really loved to see you and Kim do a fun stream thing together with the Punk Squad and Xeno.

and secondly, WTF IS THAT POST LMAO. I thought it was gonna be something serious at first but then I click the readmore and I'm just laughing. Then I realized what today was and I'm just laughing more cuz god damn can't believe I forgot what today was lol!

Tmblr be not working--

I do have a stream idea involving the Punks and Kim, but I want to stream once I got my own place again, which will be in May. Wifi bad here, and there's 50 million ppl living here. Just wait for me☆

Yeyeyyeye I'm happy I got to spook people with that joke~. Don't worry, I'm not gonna throw away the plot we got planned. I love our plot. If I do the Bibi thing, it'd be a silly filler chapter at most

#that's what being bored at work does to someone lol
