To the anon who needed to distinguish themselves from the previous one and decided to be nasty with having no background information whatsoever:
Did I hit a nerve on your own shortcomings in fandom? Boo- fucking- hoo. I'm not sorry.
The way I talk to people depends on how people talk to me. How they treat me. If someone assumes I'm a slotmachine for fic and gifs, I will treat them accordingly. Also, you didn't see the other anons, which influenced my tone.
If someone is nice, I'm nice. (You can check it out in my #vtrash answers tag btw, I'm not lying)
With me, you always receive the energy that you sent out. And this one was wack. Three anon asks within a couple minutes of each other and the tone was absolutely NOT okay. It also sounded like this person wanted to start some discourse and I'm not here for that bs.
Let me ask you this: if someone hits their dog over and over and over and one day the dog snaps, who's at fault? The dog for snapping or the owner for abusing it repeatedly? In this equation I'm the dog and I moderately snapped. I didn't even bite, but you make ME responsible? Weird way to out yourself as not being able to understand action and reaction.
Look, the really disgusting person is you, because you think telling someone the truth and giving them a reality check is being mean. Also, did you forget this new feature tumblr has where they can trace back who sent the anon? Not your smartest move.
Either way, I think social media warped your mind and you assume people aren't allowed to be people anymore- aren't allowed to express their emotions. We can't be upset by upsetting things, we can't be mad or angry when people make us angry, can't be sad, cuz god forbid you show any signs of feeling down, then you're crazy and toxic.
No, no, we all have to be these perfect little hollow dolls who never say "fuck" and always stay polite, even when other people are nasty. Upholding a MASK that isn't your true self at all costs. Kinda fucked up and dishonest, if you ask me. Screw you, I don't want to be like that. I've always been kind and quick to give out advice when needed, or words of encouragement to literally everyone who crossed paths with me, but was stabbed in the back multiple times. And for what? Fuck if I know. Was it jealousy all along or were those people just downright evil? I don't fucking know.
But I won't ever be that way. I'm a truthful person and I will always tell people what they need to hear and not what they want to hear. I'm not a fucking coward who hides behind anon.
This anon needed to know that they should put some fucking effort in fandom in order to have people create more 🤷🏼‍♀️ in this specific case me, but it goes for every other author and artist who's made to feel like an art and fic-slotmachine.
And yeah, I am of the opinion that the Vikings fandom specifically could do with more people reading, commenting, reblogging, sharing creations in order to NOT die.
Wow, what a bad, bad person I am for having such thoughts and saying out loud what basically every creator already knows. How cruel to hold people accountable for their refusal to take part in a fandom they claim to love. It's a fucking team effort to keep a fandom alive, in case you didn't notice, you dunce.
But funnily enough, for the longest time the only people on this team who actively tried to keep the fandom flowing with creations are all the same:
@vikingsbigbang - that's me and @tlkvikings (that was public knowledge btw)
@vikings-archive - surprise, surprise: me
@vikingsevents - also @tlkvikings and I
And of course the Vikings Server on discord that I created and am modding with @tlkvikings as well, to somehow get a cohesive community going.
Why did we never brag about it, you might ask? Why did we never advertise it? Put our name to it for credit? Because we just wanted to get this fandom going without any prejudice. To keep it engaged and running. We didn't want people thanking us specifically. We were happy when people engaged and showered one another with love at events we just gave them the opportunity for. We basically created opportunities for everyone, that's all. And we didn't ask for anything in return. Even after the very same fandom demonized and hated us. Yeah, that sounds like I'm a horrible, awful person, you're right.
But it's so much work, with nothing in return. The occasional "thank you" if we're lucky, but that's it. If only more people would at least engage in those opportunities to create and share, that would be enough, but even those rates have been going down. No one even THINKS of who runs these blogs (like they aren't run by people who can get exhaused, overwhelmed and discouraged) and how much work it is to keep up.
OF COURSE my own blog isn't posting new stuff all the time. Like, wtf do you think I am? A fucking god? Fuck no. I'm not online all the time, I have a life too, you know. It should be obvious that someone who has done so much for the community will get frustrated when people only ever ask for more.
We're basically the backbone of this fandom and in return not so long ago a group of people ran a smear campaign against us (slid into peoples dms and told lies about us, sent disgusting anons, made call-out posts full of lies, tried to doxx another friend of ours FOR OVER A YEAR and I'm still here) while the whole fandom watched and didn't help at all, our art gets stolen, our works ignored and THEN people ask FOR MORE?! And you think it's not an appropriate reaction to give someone a moderate fucking reality check? Be for FUCKING real, you cunt.
I can assume you're in the vikings fandom too, since you said you saw the post due to the tag, so I'm hoping you will see this as well and feel ashamed of yourself for not even using your brain for a fucking second.

*deep spiritual sigh* ok so i can see how u think sera gives off pick me vibes but like she does a lot of “ basic ” things like painting nails , her hair, going to the mall, and yeah she does hang out with boys but i think thats cuz johns literally the only one that would be her friend cuz everyone was scared of her but when she went powerless she was looked down upon but that’s the only time people were okay with being friends with her (i mean like evie and others) 
and yeah she could of helped john and didn’t but even she admits that she was careless and ignored her surroundings and i feel like she’s had development since then ( ep 219) 
and honestly i didn’t rlly like her back in the earlier eps but i think she’s really cool now though she obviously has flaws like she can’t handle everything on her own
o k b y e
-chaos screech attack sister anon 
🍿🥤🍭🍬🍫🧋🥨🥬🍦🍧🧊🐇🍩🥖📦🌻🥀🥒🧃🍰🌮🔫
slight potential discourse below friends <3 <3
Idk where you're getting most of this from...?
Like I think I've only called Sera a pick me a few times as a joke, never seriously (the main one i'm thinking of is my main cast icks post and I updated her ick to something i think is more accurate :3). And Ive certainly have never had a problem with her hanging out with boys or doing "basic" things.
My problem with her is mainly rooted in her inaction. Like yes she's developed a lot but I still dont like her much bc she's still making the same mistakes. She's still trying to take care of everything herself and I have a feeling its gonna get someone hurt. She barely asked Arlo for help and she doesn't even like him. She refused to ask John for help, and while I understand her reasoning and I get where she's coming from, its completely selfish that she's willing to put so many people's lives in danger just on the off chance that John would lose his ability.
I also hate how she only starts giving a shit about low tiers when she becomes one. Like she has eyes. She sees John go through it, she sees the shit happen to the low tiers around the school and in her life, but god forbid she gets put through it. She lacks empathy, which isn't inherently a bad thing. Its just not a trait I particularly vibe with.
We also never got an arc from her. She's so very shallow in the character development sense. All we got was her backstory and thats about it. No introspection or deep character change like there's been for almost all of the main cast (aside from sera and maybe isen) For example her relationship with John is just her dependency on her parents for approval switching over, however thats not pointed out ever.
Its the same shit with Arlo. Yes he's developed but I still hate the things he did early on. There's still some times that I fucking hate him bc he's an arrogant prick still at times.
I would give you specific examples of reasons why I dont like her but I dont have enough time to reread it just to back my opinion lmao
also some of these points also came from my darling boba anon's analysis of sera <3

what do you think of Elaine?
Short answer anon, I hate her.
Long answer, oh boy.
So Elain in book 1 wasn't much of character but rather a plot device. We learn she likes plants and gardening, especially flowers. (Cool why the hell didn't she plant edible flowers or something stull baffles me) we learn she's 'kind' still graceful and probably their dad's favorite. Okay, then Feyre is off to Prythian and we don't see her again till later. Though I will point out there's a scene where she recoils from Feyre because she's 'dirty' but we were just told she's a gardener, why you pulling away from dirt if you garden? Unless she was pulling away from her sister, in which case that's cold. Funny that doesn't get scrutiny unlike Nesta.
In any case then we see her again thriving after the family gets their fortune back, good for her I suppose. Until she's complaining that Nesta is gloomy and that might upset their new friends. Girl check on your sister maybe?! Nope, Feyre deals with that instead and Elain is right there with Daddy trying to get Feyre suitors.
Book 2 and 3 I felt sad she was forced to turn and lost her fiance and life, so at least on those books I was neutral to her and she did have great moment with helping to take down Hybern. Otherwise tho, I didn't care much.
Then comes the novella and I am ready to throw hands and win against her. So Elain got mated to Lucien. She's not happy about, she just lost the man she loved, her father, her humanity, had powers she needs to control and seems to be getting on better with a diffrent man.
Okay, that's understandable, I felt bad for her in that situation and yes just cause she's mated to Luce doesn't mean she owes him shit. So, she could just tell him politely to back off, tell him to wait or outright reject the man if she's certain she wants nothing to do with him. He'd be heartbroken but would understand. Well nope, she ignores Lucien as if he is a ghost and doesn't even acknowledge him. Sorry what? Girl, have the spine to talk to him directly! Tell him no, speak to the man even if it's to tell him off! No can do, Feyre is the one dealing with it (poorly I might add but this is about Elain)
There's also the fact that in book 4 she is dismissive of Nesta. This woman bended over backwards while traumatized to help you when you were losing your shit and now that she needs support 'Ewww I don't wanna go to a tavern ickkkk' Some sister she is.
Worst of all, none of this is called out. Unlike Nesta who Rhysand is determined to break into bits 'Elain is Elain' and she's scrutinized for nothing and the narrative wants me to think she's innocent and naive baby. Press X to doubt, she reads like she's cutesy and manipulates people with that.
Come book 5 I wanted to toss her. She doesn't take Nesta's side, gets mad she didn't heal in a week (Even tho Elain is still healing and took like few months to be functional again) and then at the party she goes 'Were you paid to attend this one too?'
I would've scalped her for this! Fuckin bitch how dare you complain Nesta isn't healed fast enough and then say shit like this to her! She is a dog, as long as she's not caged or pushed to search for the troves she keeps her yapper shut and let's them throw Nesta around and make her miserable. People say she's also a victim of Rhysand but no. If she was she'd fight against him, she'd confront him like Feyre did (for a while at least) and Nesta. But she does not push, she knows Rhys likes her so remains meek and calm and let's everyone else take the fall. She might complain if she's pushed towards Lucien but who knows maybe he'll break it off upon seeing her misrable.
I hate this woman. I'm dreading the fact that if her endgame is Elucien she won't be forced to apologize like Nesta and Feyre were no no no, instead Lucien will have to apologize to her (and maybe even renounce Tamlin. Luce if you do that I'm not having mercy on you either!) and he'd probably have to become a High Lord too cuz God forbid Elain over here lives a simple life with the exiles. He'll be forced to change for her and she's gonna still be portrayed as uwu baby cuz she's pink and cutesy. Gross.
If her endgame is Elriel at least Luce has a shot at a better partner and she and bland emo are equally dull so they don't ruin better characters (please Gwyn get away from that shadow moron you're too good from him!) Though knowing SJM she might just make Lucien a villain if Elriel is Canon cuz God forbid the Night Court be called out for trying to force them together and use Lucien.
Wish fulfillment tbh, that Lucien tells her 'One of the reasons I left Spring was to see if you were worth it. I got my answer, you weren't' I'd fucking cheer if this happens I'd frame it on my wall. I would love that. Cuz omg do I really hate her. This is why I didn't save her in my fic.
Elain exudes 'I use my cuteness and innocence to get what I want' and if intentional this would make her a cool character. A feminine woman using her wilds to keep herself out of danger and trouble, yeah I'd like that. But SJM keeps insisting this woman is baby and after all we've seen so far I just don't buy it.
Perhaps she could fix her in her book if she says sorry to Nesta and Lucien (even if it's likely they'll say 'Don't worry bout it') and if she yells at Rhys for pushing her on Lucien and using her as a bargaining chip with Nesta. Do that and she could be fixed real quick but I doubt that'll happen so for now I'm not a fan.
Hope this answers your question anon!

Dating/Being Married to Amaimon
Requested by anon: Hi! I really liked your Headcanon about dating/marrige for Mephi. If its ok can you do one for Amaimon? Id love to see what your take would be with him for his S/O! Please and super thank you :3
Of course, sorry this took so long! This one has a bit more background than Mephi’s cuz with Amai it’s a little hard to just jump right in lol
Masterlist
First off you deserve an award for getting this demon to fall for you
 He probably found you really entertaining 
And then got a great kick out of fucking with you 
We're all well aware that this dude is like 5 years old at heart and we all know that kids looooove attention 
Amaimon isn't any different 
So he met you one night as you were walking home alone 
It was dark and he was bored 
So he followed you home and fucked with you a bit along the way 
Whispering close to your ear and disappearing into a tree when you tried to spot him 
Most people would've started running by this stage 
But you hadn't 
You just took a deep breath and kept walking with a pissed off look on your face 
So he kept following you home 
Every single night 
He didn't know why only that you kept him busy for an hour 
”You know, if you're planning on kidnapping me you might have wanted to do it about three weeks ago when I first saw your face.” 
He honestly jumped a little 
He had no idea you knew he was following you or that you had spotted him
 impressive 
”You've known for that long? What a waste…” 
But still he kept following you only now he was in plain sight 
He was definitely not… normal 
Once you actually get him talking he doesn't waste any time in telling you he's a demon 
The fact it creeped you out gave him a new reason to lurk around you for which he was thankful 
He didn't know why but he was 
And one night you got brave and invited him into your apartment seeing as he followed you all the way there 
Then you fed him and that was it he was infatuated 
He followed you into your apartment every night after that 
eventually he just started breaking in through the window and waiting for you during the day 
 So you eventually started getting into actual conversations 
 Which pretty much meant you talking and him listening
 He knew that you intrigued him more than pretty much anybody else but he didn’t understand why until someone other than him tried following you home one night
 And after that he started showing how protective of you he was
 This boy is very territorial let’s face it, he doesn’t mind you talking with other guys but if you look like you’re enjoying yourself he’s gonna be pissed
God forbid they touched you
 RIP random boy
 He didn’t really ask you out he just deemed you his and you were like alrighty then
But it’s okay because he also deemed himself yours too
 Your the only person he’s ever gonna share his sweets with 
Dates are usually him just showing up to your apartment with candy and eating it with you
 You have to introduce human affection to him
Hugging, kissing etc...
 He’s into it 
He’d steal buy you things that he thinks would look pretty on you or that he thinks you’d like
 He definitely looked up a pet name to give you
 He went for Sweetheart
 As far as the marriage thing goes with Amaimon there definitely wouldn’t be a big proposal but Mephisto told him he needed to give you a ring and even helped him pick it out
 You were on one of your softest dates when he popped the question
 He’d brought you into his favourite part of the forest and set up a little picnic that consisted mostly of sweets, you were both stargazing when he rolled over on his side to face you and you did the same
 “I want you to rule this forest with me.”
You honestly didn’t know what he meant until he pulled out this amazing ring
 “For as long as you live.”
 And ofc you said yes
 The ceremony was small and not really even a ceremony it was in the forest again, you wore a pretty dress and looked beautiful and Mephisto forced Amaimon into a suit and you sealed the deal amongst the gods of the forest
 He’s even more of an attention whore now that you’re married
 Wants to be touching you constantly
 Literally growls at you if you ignore him
 Tells you he loves you a lot
 I mean a lot
 He likes just sitting you on his lap and stroking your hair while you talk about whatever pops into your mind
 He tells you his worries about how he’s an immortal but you’re only human and how scared he is to see you grow old and die without him
 But his older brother had a plan to combat that shit
 It meant you’d be able to become a demon but you’d sacrifice your chances of ending up anywhere other than Gehenna
 But you’d just married into the royal family so you were pretty much golden
 Amaimon King of Earth and (Y/n) Queen of Earth I think the fuck yes

the hacklers thought it was coming from the hicsqueak crowd which resulted in some ppl not wanting to interact with the hicsqueak crowd anymore so now que the in-fighting and now the fandom is half dead because of it. at least we've been getting some new ppl tho who are active so now let's not drag them into our bullshit 2/2
"the hacklers thought it was coming from the hicsqueak crowd which resulted in some ppl not wanting to interact with the hicsqueak crowd anymore so now que the in-fighting"
.... this isn't exaxtly how I remember it happening. I was in both fandoms at the time and what caused the infighting was people sending hate to hackle shippers and flagrantly accusing them of being abuse apologists, and there were hicsqueak shippers involved in that unfortunately. Just... this take feels like it's putting a lot of responsibility on hackle fans misinterpreting things when there wasn't any misinterpretation, there was a lot of hate and bad faith directed at hackle, and being a hackle fan in s3 was being on the defensive all the time and having to defend still liking ada and the ship. I know cuz I was there, often having to defend myself lol
I think the fandom is half dead because of s3 in general, because for many the fun and the magic was gone. Like with hicsqueak, even with one episode a season, hicsqueak usually had no trouble keeping itself afloat, but with no pippa and the canon actively erasing her importance to hecate, I think it put a large damper on things. I think the writing just drove a lot of people away too, the confinement being a big one, but the way s3 functioned in general. I'm still deconstructing everything wrong but at this point I'm just sorta tired of that, and i know s4 is not going to make it better, you know? I already can tell, but I just want to enjoy this ride while I still can
And trust me anon, I am not eager to relive that drama at all, we are Well Past That lmao. I'm also not eager to drag anyone else into it, god forbid. But if people are curious, I will tell them my experience with it, because I think it helps to understand why things went down the way they did

ENJOY GOLDEN PART 9! Also listen to this. Bye.
         Chloe and you never had serious fights. Sure, there had been times when both of you got angry at one another. Like, for instance, the time when Chloe accidentally told your mother that you lost your virginity in high school or when you accidentally ripped Chloe’s favorite green crop top that she swore on her grandmother’s grave was lucky – she claimed it was what helped her get into college. Still, those times and the others were nothing too dramatic. You always felt like your friendship was too strong to get mad at each other over trivial things like middle schoolers. Chloe was hot-tempered and – let’s just all admit it – wild. She did some pretty outrageous things and got angered quickly over others. Still, she’d always come back to her senses once having a few hours to cool off. So, with that logic, you were almost certain Chloe would return the next day after you guys little fight from the night your friends and you went out to dinner. However, the day turned into a week and suddenly it was the end of midterm week and you both had one final midterm to complete in creative writing. You hoped she would show up to the midterm today since she hasn’t been to class all week and even missed the review day. You hadn’t physically seen her in the dorm room you shared but you assumed she’s been in there in your absence since some of her stuff have been disappearing all week. However, you knew you’d definitely make contact with her today considering she left her room key on the bathroom counter. You noticed it this morning when getting ready to go to your final midterm. You planned out everything in your head. You’d try to finish the midterm around the same time as her and try to catch her in the hall. There, you’d quickly show her that you had her key, which she’d no doubt would try to snatch from your grasp, and you’d explain to her the entire Namjoon situation and pray that she’d be understanding. If she cooperated – which she should – then you’d finally give her the key back and hug it out like the best friends you were.
         Chloe must’ve liked Namjoon more than you originally thought. She would never behave like this towards you for any other guy. In fact, she’d probably own up to whatever guy she liked that, yeah, she had a blog about her feelings for them and what were they going to do about it? Nothing. That’s what. However, after this entire incident, you knew to Chloe, Namjoon was more than just a temporary crush. She held legitimate feelings for the man. Though she showed it in outrageous ways, it was all sincere.
         Sighing, you rinsed your mouth from brushing your teeth and grabbed Chloe’s key off the counter and exited the bathroom. As you walked over to your desk to grab your things to begin your walk to your midterm, there was a knock on the door. Who was up at 6am other than the other students who had 8am midterms? More so, why were at your door at 6am? Suddenly, you looked down at the key in your hand and remembered Chloe. She must’ve finally realized she didn’t have her key and came back to retrieve it. This would work out perfectly. Instead of trying to talk to her after the midterm, you’d just explain things to her now and maybe you guys could walk to creative writing together. Quickly, you slung your bookbag over your shoulder and rushed to the door.
         “Chloe – oh…” The smile on your face turned into a frown as Park Jimin leaned sleepily on your doorframe.
         “I would comment on how you’re not happy to see me but it’s too damn early…” He yawned as he pulled himself off the frame and held his hand out. “I need Chloe’s dorm room key.”
         You bit the inside of your cheek. Did she really send Jimin here to fetch her key for her? “Uh… it’s okay. I can give it to her after our midterm.”
         Hearing this caused Jimin to perk up a little. “I don’t think you fully understand how pissed she is at you. Like she’d held some pent-up anger for a while and this Namjoon thing has set her off.”
         “I wasn’t even the one who told Namjoon about the blog!” You threw your hands up in the air. “Look, I’m going to explain everything to her after the midterm today.”
         “She already took the midterm. She made some excuse of how she had to leave early to go home for fall break because her cat is sick and your professor felt bad for her so she let her take it early,” Jimin rolled his eyes. You both knew Chloe didn’t own a cat. However, it was just like Chloe to use that excuse. In the beginning of the semester, when showing an example of how the blogs should be, your professor admitted her love for cats and showed off her blog dedicated to them.
         “So, if she’s gone, why does she need her key?” You arched a brow at the brown-haired boy. He let out a heavy sigh.
         “I don’t know. She leaves today. I guess she needs to get some things before taking off,” Jimin shrugged. “Just give me the key. Don’t you two live in the same city? Just meet up over break and talk things out, geez.”
         “Where is she now?”
         “I can’t disclose that information…” He turned his gaze to the ceiling. Frowning you yanked him by his shirt and bought him down to your height.
         “Park Jimin, tell me where she is.”
         “Don’t you have a midterm to attend?” He asked as he tried to pry your fingers off him. Geez, why did he have such violent girl friends? Sighing you let him go and handed over the key. There was honestly no use in talking to Chloe right now. If she had Jimin come retrieve her belongings, then that mean she was still highly upset with you. Still, you needed to talk to her about the situation. That, and you haven’t even told her about your meeting – date – with Taehyung tonight.
         “Thanks for the key, see you later,” Jimin said as he began walking off. He stopped suddenly before turning back to you. “Don’t you have a date tonight?”
         “It’s not a date,” You grumbled as you slammed your dorm room door shut behind you.
GoldenRecs: How does Creative Writing even have a midterm? I have no idea. No recommendations until Friday after exams. Sorry. If you’re in my CW class, let’s meet up to study, okay? :)
         You sighed as you scrolled through Golden’s blog while waiting for your professor to arrive to begin the midterm. You secretly hoped he would have his recommendation up already before creative writing so some stress would be relieved. However, that wasn’t the case. Looking up, you saw Taehyung and Jungkook sitting beside one another. You decided to steer clear of the two in class since you were still unsure of which one was Golden and VMusic95. They just thought that you were more comfortable with sitting in the back than the front. Well, Taehyung assumed that. Jungkook just stared at you which made your face heat up in a blush. You didn’t know what it was about the boy that made you slightly nervous.
Your heart leapt at the sight of them sharing earbuds. From what you could see, they were listening to songs on each other’s phone. Taehyung must’ve agreed to whatever he was listening to on Jungkook’s phone as he turned to the boy and gave him two thumbs up. Jungkook just nodded at him before turning his attention back to his phone. Sighing, you opened your blog back up to see if Vmusic95 responded to the message you sent him earlier in the week. On Monday, while trying to stalk Chloe’s blog, you immediately realized you were blocked as her blog said you didn’t have permission to view her blog. Honestly, if Chloe would just listen then she’d understand this entire situation and see she’s upset at you for no reason. After not knowing how to approach Chloe, you turned to the other mysterious blog who you agreed to be friends with. Sometimes it was nice to receive advice from complete strangers. Well, he wasn’t a complete stranger…
You glanced up at Jungkook one more time as he began to put his phone and stuff away because the professor arrived. Quickly, you glanced back down to open your messages to see if he replied. As usual, you had to scroll past all the anon hate you received on almost a daily basis because of Golden. The wave of hate swarmed in over the weekend because people were upset that Golden referred to you as his friend.
Anon: So just to clarify, is y/n your friend? Or just someone you know and happen to follow back?
GoldenRecs: A friend.
         Apparently, even to be friends with Golden was a crime to these people. God forbid they ever find out the other mysterious person who Golden talked to on an almost daily basis. They were an anon who only referred to themselves as E.M. You didn’t want to assume it was a girl but you did and it made you quite upset. Even if it wasn’t a girl, you still felt jealous. They could easily talk to Golden while you were too nervous to even send him a hi. He claimed you guys were friends but yet, you found yourself shying away when trying to talk to him. Maybe it was because he was so popular or… it was just the obvious feelings you had for the guy.
DancerCookies: Hey… care to offer advice? My friend is upset at me over something I had no control over and she thinks I did it. What should I do?
VMusic95: Hm… your friend sounds… difficult. No offense! Why don’t you guys talk things out like adults? I mean, we’re college kids, after all. If she’s not willing to cooperate, then is she a friend? Also, off topic, but I can’t wait to officially meet you in four weeks when we reveal ourselves!
         We. We as in Golden and him. Four weeks was all that remained of the semester. Four weeks was all you had left until you’d finally see Taehyung admit he was Golden to the class – and university – that was obsessed with him and his blog. Four weeks until you had to make a final decision on your major and what you planned to do for the rest of your life.
“Y/N here,” Your classmate tapped you on the shoulder with the exam papers. Snapping out of your thoughts, you thanked them and took the paper.
Four weeks seemed like it was just around the corner and you weren’t prepared for everything that was about to be thrown at you.
         “Woo! I can’t wait to go home for break!” Taehyung shouted excitedly as he and Jungkook exited their creative writing midterm. “That was my last one. How about you?”
“I have one more…” Jungkook said as he pulled out his phone to check the plethora of messages he was positive he had received while taking the 30-minute midterm.
“Ah, Golden is always buzzing, huh?” Taehyung playfully bumped Jungkook’s shoulder only to receive a glare from the younger boy.
“Way to say that aloud in public,” He frowned. Taehyung just defensively put up his hands and laughed it off.
         “Sorry. So hey, I’m meeting with Y/N tonight,” Taehyung changed the topic. At the mention of the girl’s name, Jungkook’s fingers froze in place from responding to one of his messages. He had temporarily forgotten that Taehyung had a date with her tonight.
“Yeah…” He said slowly as he tried to regain his concentration on his phone.
“I wanna take her somewhere cool before we go on fall break so she can think of me all weekend!” Taehyung grinned.
“You’re hanging around Jimin too much,” Jungkook rolled his eyes and began to walk in the direction of his dorm.
Taehyung quickly walked in front of Jungkook to stop him from walking and to pay attention to him. “You talk to her, right? What does she like to do?”
Jungkook blinked at the man in front of him. Why was he asking him for advice about where to take someone? Sure, Jungkook had a past with being popular with ladies – he still is – despite being shy, still, Taehyung had far more experience in the dating department than he did. Was he really that into Y/N? And if he was, how would he let him know he was into her as well? It’s only been a couple weeks but the time he’s spent with her has been amazing. He was still upset that Taehyung was able to ask the girl to hang out alone before he was.
“Uh… she likes to dance. She’s a great dancer, in fact! And she cooks well, apparently,” Jungkook shrugged. “Also, she doesn’t hold liquor well so try to avoid alcohol…”
“Thanks – hey – how do you know she doesn’t hold alcohol well?” Taehyung arched a brow at the boy. His face flushed as he shrugged again.
“Uh… I was near her at the party when it got to her…”
“Ah, that’s right. So dancing and cooking, huh? I just need to know a couple of things about her to talk to her about at dinner. Thanks for the advice! I’m gonna go catch some sleep before going to pick her up later! You’re going home after your last midterm, right? Good luck,” Taehyung waved to Jungkook as he took off in the direction of his own dorm. Jungkook let out a heavy sigh as he looked up to the clear sky above him. How has this girl who was supposed to be no one but Namjoon’s good friend and an acquaintance to the rest of the boys gone and stole two of their hearts in the course of three weeks? Jungkook didn’t know but he did know one thing.
He couldn’t let Taehyung have her.
Hi! You’ve reached Chloe. I’m not answering my phone for reasons but I’ll call you back later. Maybe. Don’t count on it. Unless you’re my mom.
You sighed as you hung up the phone. You’ve been trying to reach Chloe since you got out of your midterm. Vmusic95 was right about talking things out – though you already thought of doing that already – and if Chloe wasn’t willing to talk then maybe you guys weren’t as close as you thought you guys were. She’s been there through thick and thin for you since you’ve known her and you’d hate to see it all go down the drain over a misunderstanding. Opening your phone again, you decided to check Golden’s blog for an update. However, nothing was updated except for a few messages he answered. Inhaling a deep breath, you decided to message him. You needed a good song recommendation today and usually he was spot on about your feelings whether he knew it or not. That’s one of the reasons you crushed on him. He was somehow in tune with you.
DancerCookies: It's Friday... could really use a song recommendation right about now lol...
Logging out of the app, you looked at the time. You had to finish packing for the weekend before getting ready to go out with Taehyung. Glancing at your half-packed bag beside you, you decided to give Chloe another call first.
Hi! You’ve reached Chloe...
         Taehyung didn’t mention where you guys were going so you honestly didn’t know what to wear. So, you based your outfit off the chilly autumn air. You figured wherever you guys ended up going, it would lead into the night since it was already in the evening. You ended up wearing a mustard colored light sweater, distressed jeans, and your favorite pair of Timbs. After applying a bit of makeup, you checked yourself out in the bathroom mirror. It was a simple but cute outfit. You didn’t want to give him the impression that you put too much thought in your outfit even if you really did. You were going out with Golden after all. Your heart leapt at the fact. If you weren’t so scared to stand up to the hate you got on your blog, you’d most definitely tease the desperate girls who planned to ask Golden out once he revealed himself. But… weren’t you also one of those girls?
         You were in the same position as the other girls who crushed on the mysterious blogger. What made you any different from the rest of them besides the fact that maybe – just maybe – you might know his true identity? Other than that, you still didn’t know who he was - you crushed on an almost complete stranger - and your crush was based only on his suave online personality and music taste just like the other girls on his blog. Still, there had to be something about you that made you different, right? He did decide to be your friend. Or maybe that was just because of Namjoon and Jimin influencing him to befriend you?
         You shook the thoughts from your head as you heard a knock from the door. He was here. Snatching your room key off your desk, you ran to the door and answered it. There stood Taehyung in a green sweater with a light brown jacket over it and baggy jeans. He grinned his square shaped grin at you as a blush creeped up on your face.
         “Ready to go?” He asked excitedly.
         “Uh yeah,” You shyly smiled at him as you fully stepped out of your dorm and shut the door behind you.
         “Great! I hope you know how to skate!”
         And with that the smile faded from your face.
         Roller skating wasn’t your thing. It wasn’t your thing when you were five and fell face down on the pavement at your aunt’s house and bled in multiple places. It wasn’t your thing at your 12th birthday party when you tried to give it another chance and ended up falling on your ass in front of your crush. You expected a fairy tale situation to happen when you fell and he’d quickly come to rescue you but instead he laughed until he had to gasp for air. And roller skating definitely wasn’t your thing now.
         There was a rink on the other side of campus. It was a rundown place considering it was built when the Disco was still popular and the bright neon colors painted on the building was now chipping off to reveal the aged white paint underneath. You remember your mom telling you stories about how she’d get her college friends to help sneak her in since back then it only permitted college kids. The inside had a decent wooden skating rink that had seen better days and desperately needed a good polishing. The multicolored polka dot carpet was also aged and gave the place a smell of mildew and sweat that’s been concentrated there for decades. It frightened you to even think about putting your feet in the rental skates. If the place looked like this, just imagined the condition of the skates. But, you were going to make the best of the situation. You were here with Taehyung. Taehyung who was supposedly Golden.
         “Hey, I’m gonna go to the restroom really quick,” Taehyung smiled at you as you tied up your skates.
         “You’re gonna pee while in skates?” You blinked at him. If you were to do that, you’d probably end up giving yourself an unintentional swirly.
         “Yeah, it’s no big deal,” He grinned at you before skating off towards the restrooms. Sighing, you scooted back further onto the wooden bench you sat upon. How was this evening going to play out? The last thing you needed was to break anything. That and you’d hate to embarrass yourself in front of the almost perfect Golden.
Bzz. Bzz.
         You reached into your pocket to retrieve your phone to read your notification. It was probably your mom wondering what time were you going to arrive at the bus station tomorrow. Clicking on your phone, your eyes widened at the notification from the blogging app.
         GoldenRecs has replied to your message: 37 seconds ago
         You glanced up to the restrooms and saw Taehyung had yet to appear. Did he excuse himself to reply to the message you sent him earlier? Not wasting another second, you clicked on the notification to open the app.
         GoldenRecs: Your wish will be granted soon, princess.
         Immediately your face flushed a deep red from the nickname. Princess? What had gotten into Golden? The hate was going to be strong now. Of course, he could’ve meant it in a sarcastic way as to say, “don’t rush me,” but somehow you knew he didn’t mean it in that context.
         “Hey, ready to get your skate on?” Taehyung smiled as he gracefully glided over to you. You instantly looked up and shoved your phone back into your pocket and stood up. To your dismay, you immediately began to lose your balance on the skates and wobbled slightly. Taehyung quickly reached for your arm to help balance you and you threw him an apologetic look.
         “Sorry, I’m a really horrible skater,” You rubbed the back of your neck nervously.
         “It’s okay, you can just hold on to me the entire time, okay?” He winked at you as he led you to the floor. Meanwhile you tried to use your hair to cover the blood red blush on your face.
         “You’re doing great,” Taehyung grinned as he looked down to your hands that were clutching onto his arm tightly.
         “My legs are going to give out any second,” You said through gritted teeth as you focused on the ground below you. The back of your calves was on fire which surprised you. You thought since you were a dancer and highly flexible you wouldn’t feel pain from lack of stretching but here you are struggling – dying – to complete the fifth go around on the roller rink. The place wasn’t too crowded besides a couple of fellow university students who probably didn’t have plans to go home for the short break. So, with that you didn’t have to worry about accidentally bumping into someone and causing everyone to tumble over – something that actually happened when you were 17. Like you said, skating just wasn’t your thing.
         “You wanna take a break,” Worry filled Taehyung’s eyes as he slowed down some. You were about to nod your head until a familiar song came on the speakers. It was Tori Kelly’s Paper Hearts. Also, known as the song you stretched to before beginning a dance. It was easily your favorite song. Sometimes you and Jimin would bellow the song out loudly around Chloe to annoy her. She loved the song but just not when you guys sung it.
         “Wait, let’s skate to this song then take a break?” You said as you held tightly onto Taehyung as you shook out your legs to prepare them to go around the rink for the duration of the song. Taehyung nodded as he kicked off to start skating again.
         “So, you like this song too, huh?” He asked as he looked down at you. For the first time a small smile was on your face as you focused your attention in front of you instead of on the floor. This caused a smile to appear on Taehyung’s face also. You were honestly an adorable girl.
         “Yeah! Jimin told me about it! I love it! I stretch to it before every dance I do!”
         “Jungkook likes this song, too! He randomly started listening to it a couple of weeks ago.”
         You felt your heart pang at the mention of the younger boy’s name. Why did it do that? “Yeah, it’s an amazing song, right?”
         “Eh, it’s okay. Not really my style,” Taehyung shrugged as you two rounded a corner. The smile that was on your face faltered a little at his answer. This song was definitely down Golden’s alley. At least you thought so anyway. Maybe you didn’t know Golden’s style of music as well as you had initially thought. Shaking it off, you returned your smile and glanced up at Taehyung.
         “So Tae, you’re a junior, right? What’s your major?”
         “Theater major and music minor. I wanna be on Broadway,” He smiled proudly. You stared at him in awe for a second as you imagined him on stage performing. There’s no doubt he’d be phenomenal. Your second of admiration ended quickly, though, as you began to trip up on your skates.
         “Careful,” Tae laughed as he gripped onto you tighter. You just sheepishly laughed as you tried to shake off your embarrassment. “What’s your major? Dance? Jungkook told me you danced… and cooked.”
         This time your smile completely fell. You haven’t thought about your major at all this week because of midterms, the fallout with Chloe, and this date. What were you going to tell him? You were undecided? It wouldn’t be a lie but how would he view you? Would he see you as someone who didn’t have their life together? You were a smart girl it’s just, making a final decision now that would determine your future was frightening. Sure, there were plenty of college students who were undecided but this wasn’t like you. You were always so sure about your life but this… you just weren’t sure about. And it deeply bothered you. Even Chloe, who wasn’t even planning on going to college, had her major declared and was literally in love with it. That was another fear. What if you chose something and ended up hating it? You loved dancing and cooking but what if once you really began to study it, you begin to hate it? Honestly, you couldn’t live without one or the other. And what about your mom and grandmother? They both want you to pursue different paths. How could you choose without disappointing one of them?
         “Undecided?” Taehyung asked suddenly, snapping you from your thoughts.
         “Ah… yeah… how’d you know?”
         “You started skating perfectly all of a sudden,” Taehyung laughed as you quickly looked down to see that, in fact, you were skating without any mishaps. “When you don’t think about it and let it happen naturally, you skate just fine. Anyways, also I know because you looked stressed all of a sudden.”
         “Ah…” You said as you frowned slightly.
         “It’s okay. Don’t stress it. You’ll figure it out.”
         “Yeah but-“
         “Hey! The song’s over! Wanna grab something to eat?” Taehyung said, cutting you off. You just nodded before he began to lead you off the floor. Biting your lip, you looked at him. Why were you disappointed suddenly? You wanted to ask how he decided on his major – how he’d know it was the right choice for him? Golden for sure would offer a piece of advice and how he conquered his problems. Why did Taehyung just… brush it off? Was Golden just an online persona for him? How could the same person be so… different?
         Jungkook sighed as he laid on his bed in his darkened dorm room. His roommate had left earlier in the day to return home so that left Jungkook to become lost in his thoughts. He could’ve gone to visit Jimin or Namjoon but he just didn’t feel like dealing with people. Instead, he wondered what Taehyung and Y/N were doing on their date. He had received her message earlier and made sure to reply when he was sure she was near Taehyung. Jungkook secretly hoped Golden would be all she could think about while with the older man since he purposefully called her “princess.” He even secretly dedicated another recommendation to her. She seemed so stressed over choosing a major and her midterms and he felt the need to reassure her on things. That, and Jimin accidentally let it slip that her and her best friend weren’t speaking currently because of Namjoon or something. So Jungkook felt it would a perfect indirect response to her feelings:
This Week’s Recommendation: IU - Beautiful Dancer
Shout out to my wife for making this beautiful song. Know what else is beautiful? You guys. If something is bothering you or you’re unsure of yourself, just know you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to and overcome ALL obstacles life throws your way. Don’t give up. Don’t know what you wanna do with your life? You’ll figure something out. Don’t know how to handle an upsetting situation? It’ll work out eventually. Just don’t give up and keep fighting and smiling. See you all next Wednesday. Also, do any of you know a beautiful dancer? I know one :)
-Golden
         Letting out a groan, he grabbed his pillow and covered his head with it. Why did he call her princess? That was so out of character for him. Well, Golden is the more outgoing side of Jungkook but still. It was going to be embarrassing on the day of the final when he reveals himself to everyone – to her. She’d definitely remember the message. He would if he was her.
Bzz.
Bzz.
         Jungkook’s hand blindly felt around on his bed for his phone. Grabbing it and turning it on, he squinted his eyes from the screen’s bright glow. There were about 100 notifications from his blog and a text from his mom asking was he coming home tomorrow for fall break. Jungkook hadn’t planned on leaving but maybe going to spend time with his family would be a nice break from the stress of college. After responding to his mom with a, “yes,” he scrolled down his messages. His eyes immediately widened as he came across a message he received a couple of seconds ago.
         Anon: Your fave anon is here to bless you with her presence! But be quick, her bus for her city leaves in a few minutes! So let's make this quick, shall we, Golden? -NJsC
         What were they talking about? Jungkook blinked confusedly as he began to response to the message. They’ve been missing for weeks and suddenly they appear and leaves cryptic messages.
         GoldenRecs: Ah, my favorite stalker. Long time, no talk. Also what are we making quick? Are you going to quickly tell me what NJsC stands for, Nick Jonas Mysterious C?
         Jungkook reread over the message one more time after posting it to his blog. Usually Nick Jonas Mysterious C replied quickly so he kept refreshing his messages awaiting their reply. To his dismay, it didn’t seem like they were going to send another message. Just as Jungkook clicked off his phone there was a knock at his bedroom door and a vibration from his phone to signal a new message had arrived. It was probably Jimin coming to annoy him or something. He knew he shouldn’t have told him that he was just lounging around in his dorm. Jimin always took that as some sort of invitation to come over. He’d respond to NJsC’s new message after he shooed Jimin away.
         Hoping out of his bed, Jungkook dragged his feet to the door to open it. His eyes widened at he stared at the blonde woman standing in his door. She had an overstuffed backpack on her back that made it appear as if she was running away from home but Jungkook knew she was probably just going home for the weekend.
         “Uh… can I help you-“ Jungkook was shushed as the woman placed a finger on his lips to stop him from talking.
         “NJsC. Namjoon’s Chloe. I know who you are and now you know who I am,” Chloe said as she watched Jungkook’s eyes widened.
Anon: Count to five and I’ll appear… -NJsC
