the movie is too boring for jeongin. he doesn’t care about the stupid horror movie that han and changbin are screaming over. the clinging you have to him is unbearable. you squeeze him or squirm in his arms anytime something even a little bit scary is on the screen. everyone seems so focused around him. he just wants your attention to be brought back to him. he’s annoyed by felix and chan chatting over the movie quietly at he watches you and hyunjin look at each other in fear.

he has to do something about his thoughts. his very apparent erection starting to hurt in his sweatpants. he knows how to get your attention. he rubs your side as he pulls you to him. “baby can you come with me to the bathroom?” he whispers into your ear with an innocent smile. he looks at the loose skirt you have on as he licks his lips a little. “innie- you can’t wait until we get home? the movie is almost over.” you whisper back with a pout. “babyy i’ve been trying. you’re killing me.” he expression is so cute but you see right through it. you don’t care though, you always give in to him.

“okay we have to be quick though.” you and jeongin go to the bathroom shortly after each other as if they won’t notice. jeongin locks the door behind you two quickly as he immediately pushes your skirt up. “you have to stop wearing this fucking skirt. i swear you do it on purpose.” he tugs your panties down your thighs as you watch him. your voice is already whiny as he handles you roughly. “sit on the counter and open your legs.” he orders you with a smile as he smacks your ass. you let out a yelp quickly covering your mouth with your hand.

“don’t be loud baby.” he whispers to you as you sit on the counter, opening your legs. “want me to fuck you? let me hear your dirty mouth say it. go on baby.” he smirks at you with a mocking expression. you feel embarrassed as he looks directly at you cunt on display for him. “i want you to fuck me innie- soo bad.” you squeeze your thighs together as you watch him pull his sweatpants string loose. his sweatpants fall down his waist as he pushes his boxers down after.

“open your mouth. good girl.” he sticks his thumb in your mouth as he spits slightly in your mouth. “swallow baby.” he smiles as he watches you swallow sending him a smile. “my dirty girl. open these legs wider baby.” he bunches your skirt up higher against your stomach as he lines up with you. he wraps a hand around your throat applying just the perfect amount of pressure as he pushes in.

“you got to be quiet or i won’t be nice k?” he uses his other hand to hold your waist to move as he starts thrusting slowly. “fuck- how could i fucking wait for this?” he pants lowly in your ear as he looks at you. his grip on your throat getting tighter when you start to get loud. “what did i say?” he asks you sweetly planting a kiss to your cheek. “i- i know it ju-just feels so good.” your eyes roll back as he just smirks at you.

“i know baby i know.” his voice his mocking you as he speeds up his hips. the sound of skin slapping getting louder. “innie- slow down-“ he shakes his head. “shut up and take it okay?” you get wetter at his words. you love the difference between jeongin around your friends vs. him in intimate moments. he kisses your lips gently as his hips continue to drill into you. you pant into the kiss as he does the same. you hearing screaming from one of the boys through the outside of the door.

he groans into your neck as you bring your hands into his shirt. you rub your hands up and down his chest making him grip your neck looking into your eyes again. “i’m gonna cum- fuck.” you start to rock your hips with his as you get closer. his pants are heavy as you clench around him. “you’re such a good girl aren’t you? letting me use you when i like.” his gaze his dark as you nod.

“i’m coming innie- oh my god-“ you moan loudly as you clench around him again. you cum all over his dick and the counter. he kisses you again thrusting inside you a couple more times. he comes deep inside you with a loud groan as he fucks you slowly. he whispers soft praises of how pretty you are and how much he loves you. “here let me clean you.” he smiles at you as he gives your lips a peck. he cleans you up gently after helping off the counter. you pull your panties back up, fixing your skirt.

“you look pretty as ever don’t you worry.” he smiles pulling your waist to him as he kisses you. you kiss him back slowly as you wrap your arms around the back of his neck. he smiles into the kiss before pulling away. “okay we have to stop or we’ll have to come back in here.” he laughs as you rolls your eyes. you open the door leading you two back to the living room. “have fun?” chan says with a smirk as he pauses the movie.

“we thought it would be nice to pause the movie but we quickly regretted it.” han says with a laugh. “disgusting.” minho looks at you guys with a smile.

“okay shut up continue the movie!” you roll your eyes at them. “okayyy-“ hyunjin says wiggling his eyebrows at the two of you. your boyfriend doesn’t care about them hearing. he just pulls you close to him again with a smile.

could i request a soobin with enemies to lovers prompt? 🥹 i think i have an obsession with this trope atm

a/n: hello anon! i hope you enjoy this. i wasn't sure how i was going to write this but i made it happen! i love the enemies to lovers trope but i cannot write it for my life. please enjoy this! i hope it lives up to expectations. 

you and soobin were total opposites. he was this cool guys with a close knit friend group and lot’s of popularity. he had a set group of people that would eat lunch with him everyday. he was really smart too. he constantly made student of the month and was on track to secure the valedictorian spot for your graduation class. 

you on the other hand…you had only two friends you hung out with everyday and you lacked the popularity he had. you loved your friends group so it’s not like you were complaining or anything. you were also very smart. you were good at pretty much everything you teachers put in front of you. art, english, math, history. anything. 

this is where your story starts. you and soobin usually did not cross paths at all and if you did…it was because he was insulting your intelligence and lack of friends. he didn’t mean to hurt your feelings so deeply but little did he know, you would go home and cry into your pillow because of his hurtful words. he would put you down by both only questioning your intelligence but even your looks. saying things along the lines of, “well, we can’t all be good looking and smart”. When he’d run into you in the hall ways during passing period, he would humiliate you by screaming and then saying, “oh wait, it’s just you. i swear i just saw something straight out of a horror movie.” you would go home and curse him. how could he be so handsome and so mean at the same time? it’s not fair! 

you two were made to cross paths on this occasion because you were both called into the principals office. the principal organized this meeting to let you know you both were tied for the spot of valedictorian and that you both would have to share the honor if nothing changed with your grades. soobin took this as a threat and you, were just fine with it. he started going on about how it’s not fair that he had to share such a high honor with a girl. when you left the principals office, he let you know his intentions to raise his grades to beat you. when you just shrugged him off, he grabbed your wrist. you glared at him. “let me go! i’ll tell someone!” he sighed and rolled his eyes, “as if anyone would actually care.” he looks you up and down, “just back down. you’re too stupid to even formulate a speech to accept this award. why do you even want it so bad?” 

you pull your wrist back, “it’s none of your damn business! leave me alone. I'm not backing down and I'm not going to no matter what you say.” you turn and walk away, back to the class you had left for the meeting. he watches you walk away with a smirk. he was thinking of ways to get you to back down as he walked back to class. 

after school and clubs, he went to look for you. he was going to tell you again to back off when he noticed something strange. he was walking into the gym since he knew you’d be come with volleyball (let’s just say you play) but the gym was really quiet. among the quiet, he heard a small voice, begging the word ‘stop’ over and over. he finally recognized this voice as yours. as much as he pretended to hate you, he couldn't help but go over there and asses the situation. 

you were being back into a corner by a sophomore in your club. his name was Jake. he was much taller than you and much bigger. he’d been asking you on a date at every single club meeting for a whole month. Since he always made you feel uncomfortable and unsafe, you would always decline. he kept asking and asking until he finally got fed up and decided he was going to make you say yes. he decided to do this by backing you into a corner of the gym once everyone was gone after practice. you always stayed behind alone to clean up since your friends had to run off to their part time jobs after club. he decided today was the day and he started to back you into the corner. 

soobin hesitates but decided the right thing to do was to intervene. he walks up behind Jake and when you see him, you gasp. Jake was looking at you with a raised eye brow and suddenly feels a big hand grab his should and pull him back. “hey, Jake. what are you doing?” soobin puts on a fake smile and pat’s the younger boy’s shoulder. Jake rolls his eyes, “I'm asking her on a date and she’s not saying yes! can you believe this? who wouldn’t wanna date me?” Soobin finally stops smiling and does what he came there to do. he pushed Jake back and the younger boy stumbled, falling onto his butt. "you leave her alone. you hear me? i thought you know better than you harass girls who want nothing to do with you?” soobin grabs your hand and looks at you, “come on. let’s get any from this loser. he’s got a lesson to learn later on. i’ll be back for you.” soobin threatens. you follow soobin as he gently pulls your arm to lead you outside safely. he refuses to let go of you hand when asking if you were okay. "did he touch you? I'm sorry he did that to you.” he groan and pull your hand back.

“why do you care? you always talk shit to me. why did you even step in? you could definitely not care less about me.” you look down at the floor, kicking dirt around. you felt back for talking to him that way after he saved you but you couldn’t help it. why did he do this? he looks at you, “i wasn’t going to let him hurt you. no one deserves to be harassed by anyone. not even you.” you look up at him with softer eyes. you notice how he got shy when you looked in his eyes. you smile at him for the first time ever. "thank you. thank you for saving me from him.” he take his hands and look at him again. "are you shy?” you laugh when his face and ears to red. his body betrayed him. "hey, this is no fair, you’re touching me. how am i supposed to react when he pretty girl touches me?” 

you gasp, “pretty? now you’re just messing with me. don’t do that.” your smile turns into a frown and soobin panics. “hey! hey! I'm not kidding. I'm serious. i really do think you’re pretty. im sorry for all those times i said other wise. I'm sorry I've been such an ass hole to you. i’ve treated you like absolute shit for no reason. you’re too pretty to be treated like crap.” he panics when you start to tear up but he wipes your tears away. he goes as far as to pull you into his chest and hug you. you melt into him and hide your face in his chest. he let’s you cry for a while. 

finally, you look up at him with puffy, red eyes. “so…what now? am i gonna have to go home and cry into my pillow because you’re going to tell me you don’t like me the way i think you do?” he smiled at you and wiped your face again. “i don’t think so. i like you a lot. how about i go in there and help you finish cleaning and then i can walk you home? we can stop for some boba tea? my treat for being such an asshole.” you smile at him and hug him again. "sure. but…only if you’ll be my boyfriend.” he turns red once again and whines, “Hey! what’s with your love of flustering me?” you frown, “is that a no?” he shakes his head, “you’re already got me wrapped around your cute fingers, you know?” you smile at him and you both hug. he places a sweet kiss on your cheek and you turn red.

Congrats on the followers!!

I would love some Kent Parson, 1:13am, in Vegas. I’m thinking The (Shipped) Gold Standard - Fall Out Boy for vibes and the rating is up to you, I’m good with any!

I’m dairaliz on AO3

ngl, as much as i love this song on its own and for Kent post-draft in particular, i was really worried about writing this one. i haven't actually written Kent POV before, so i hope i did him justice and that it's even a little bit what you were hoping to get 💜🦗

read the rest of the ficlets here

🏒🏒🏒🏒

1:31am, las vegas

Parson! Over here, Kent! What do you think about Jack Zimmermann’s overdose? No comment.

The bar Kent’s sitting in didn’t even card him. 

For all Kent wants to pretend he’s got his life together—he’s got his dream job, he’s moved out of his parents’ house for good, he’s making enough money to buy his mom a goddamn mansion—he’s scared fucking shitless. 

Every clink of the ice cubes against the bottom of his glass grates on his brain, a sharp reminder of the weight of an entire fucking franchise sitting on his shoulders. A franchise that might be settling for second-best, the only option available. Kent will never know—too terrified to ask—if Vegas would have drafted him regardless of Ja—Zimmermann’s presence; will never know just how he and Zimmermann would have done playing on opposing teams, how they would have stacked up.

And the bar didn’t even card him. Sure, he was dragged out by his new teammates, was being welcomed to the fold with alcohol and non-diet-approved bar food, was surrounded by boisterous young men who were putting their faith in him—

It’s fine, probably. They definitely picked this bar because they don’t card regularly. It’s not his teammates’ fault that the idea of one night of drinking being enough to tip the scales, to irrevocably tank a promising career, a future—is spiraling around Kent’s head, circling the drain. Zimms had been right there with him, neck and neck, constantly battling for more points, for bigger numbers. They’d pushed each other, pulling the best performance out of the other both off and on the ice. And in the blink of an eye, the flash of lightning, the space between one breath and the next: Jack had been ripped away—from hockey, from the NHL, from Kent.

Kent knew. He knew as soon as he saw Jack on the floor, skin a shade no skin should be, empty orange pill bottle next to his limp hand, and dialed 9-1-1 that life as he knew it was over. No matter what happened next, this would change everything. Part of him was panicking, practically hyperventilating, as he half-yelled, half-sobbed through the phone at the dispatcher, as he hovered ineffectually around the medics as they strapped Jack to a backboard. The other part of him railed from behind a wall of mute shock and horror and resignation as Jack blocked his phone number, kicked him out of his room, told his parents not to let Kent visit.

Each time Jack shut him out, another layer of chill settled around Kent’s heart. The wall around his real self got another brick higher every time a reporter asked about the draft. Deep in the core of himself, he wants to lash out, to push back, to scream that the boy he loves won’t talk to him and what did he do to deserve that—but even Kent isn’t self-destructive enough to say any of that where someone else can hear. So he’ll drink with his teammates, in a sketchy Vegas dive bar, and count down the days until the season starts.

It’s the only thing he’s got left.

Kent, what do you say to those people who say you only went first in the draft because Zimmermann wasn’t there? Haha, um...I guess we’ll never know what would have happened, will we? A great big mystery for us all. I’m just excited to get started on winning the Aces a Cup.

seungcheol x gn reader

words: 1k

tags: comfort (with no hurt), modern working adult au 😔, feelings for each other but they’re not together

soundtrack: 7pm - bss feat peder elias

[7:03 PM]

You: hey where are you?

[7:09 PM]

Seungcheol: on the subway, just heading home

Seungcheol: why?

You: ah, nvm

You: i wanna leave work soon and i just wanted some company

You: we can catch up some other time :)

Seungcheol: no i’m coming

[7:10 PM]

Seungcheol: i’ll just hop on the inbound train at the next station

Seungcheol: be there in 10. I’ll meet you in your office

.

.

.

The gopchang restaurant that Seungcheol takes you to smells like grease and smoke. It’s August and the air in Seoul is unbearably hot and muggy as ever, even at night. A thin film of condensation creeps at the edges of the glass windows looking out into the street and the inky black expanse of the Hangang, but you’re tucked safely in the small corner booth.

Seungcheol is sweating. Cheeks pink and forehead glistening, he commandeers the grill, tongs in one hand and scissors in the other. His white button down hangs limply off his broad shoulders and the sleeves are roughly rolled up to avoid oil splatters. You sit and watch, listless, with your cheeks in your hands, propped up with your elbows against the table.

“Here,” he takes a small piece of meat off the grill and puts it on your plate. It’s slightly burnt, but it’s just the way you like it.

“Thanks, Cheollie,” you mumble. Taking one hand off your cheeks, you pick up your chopsticks and push the meat around for a second before sighing and lifting it to your mouth.

“No appetite, huh?” Seungcheol is evidently satisfied with the state of the meat and begins divvying it up between your plates, clacking his tongs and dripping grease on the table in the process.

“No, I’m hungry,” you say around a mouthful of gopchang and lettuce, “I had to skip lunch today.”

Seungcheol pauses and frowns at you.

“I know.” You chew miserably. “But my lunch time got scheduled over and I couldn’t miss the meeting. The project I’m managing, the green energy building in Seodaemun, is pushing over budget and late because of the chip shortage, and the stakeholders keep changing their minds.” You close your eyes and press your face into your hands, trying to assuage the oncoming headache. “I’m so tired. I can’t sleep because I keep worrying about this project.”

“Here.”

You look up to see Seungcheol opening a bottle of beer for you. He places the frosty cold bottle next to your plate. He lifts his own beer in a silent gesture, and you can’t help but to grin at the silly expression on his face, a mix of sympathy and understanding, and you click the neck of your bottle with his. The beer is cool against your throat as it goes down, just a little bit of relief from the sweltering Seoul heat.

“I wish I could help you,” Seungcheol says as he starts to load vegetables on the grill. “I mean, just say the word and I’ll go yell at whoever is making your job hard.”

You laugh and lean against the wall next to you. “Thanks, Cheollie. I wish I had you behind me for my meetings. But enough about me, how’s your new team member?”

Seungcheol heaves a heavy sigh. “He’s not the fastest learner, but he’s a hard worker and he has good intentions. I think he’d be better suited for another role, but I’ll give him some time before talking to him about it. I think I’ll just mentor him the best I can until then.”

You smile. You can just see him in the office in his neat suit, hands interlaced atop his desk, a kindly expression on his face. “I bet you’re the best boss ever,” you tell him, idly picking at the bean sprout salad on the table. Seungcheol purses his lips, somewhat embarrassed, and shrugs.

“I try my best.”

.

.

.

After your meal, Seungcheol insists on walking along the Hangang with you to work off some of the calories from the grease-heavy dinner. Here by the water, the air is somewhat cooler and fresher. Seungcheol’s thin shirt flaps in the soft breeze, his tie long forgotten, rolled up and tucked away in his pocket.

When he showed up at your office earlier to greet you and pick you up, you noticed that he was wearing a red silk tie with little burgundy stripes on it— the tie you bought him as a congratulatory graduation gift all those years ago.

“I like your haircut,” you tell him, affectionately running your hand through his freshly shorn short chestnut-colored locks. “You look cute.”

He laughs. “Cute? Don’t I look like a dad? That’s what Mingyu told me, at least.”

“No,” you shake your head, smoothing down his hair, “you look young.”

He looks like how he did when he was in university, where the two of you met. Back when you had ambitions and he had none. You with your purposeful engineering degree, and him with the business degree that his dad made him enroll in. And now, you’re not sure if he’s happy in middle management in corporate hell, but he certainly looks better than when he was a resentful, aimless student.

“Thanks,” Seungcheol flushes. His eyes are wide and his cheeks are pink.

You hold your hand gently against his head, smoothing your palm down the back of his neck, painfully affectionate, and you convince yourself that it’s the soju that’s pulling the blood to his face and not the fact that he’s been in love with you for almost a decade.

In a small moment of indulgence, you place your palm against his neck and stroke your thumb slowly under his ear. He sighs softly and leans into your touch, ever so slightly.

“Thanks for coming out with me, Seungcheol,” you whisper. The two of you are standing right in the middle of Hangang Park, surrounded by fellow pedestrians, but you keep him close, like you’re trying to encapsulate the two of you in this moment, frozen in time. “I feel a lot better,” you smile. “I really needed this.”

“No,” Seungcheol replies, “I needed this too. I always feel better after getting food and hanging out with you.” His eyes are gentle and warm, so soft, all for you.

You swallow the lump in your throat. “You’re a good friend, Seungcheol. Thank you.”

the way all of anders' battle dialogue in da2 sounds stressed out right to the brink of hysteria is something that can actually be so personal. it's the real healer experience. anders you're herding moths constantly trying to launch themselves at any passing bonfire with your whole chest and your whole heart and you are so valid

#you can hear him all but tearing his hair out as he flits between them to get them back on their feet fhsdkjfa #obviously this is exactly what lands him in a fucking world of trouble but anders truly does just care so much at all times #dragon age #dragon age 2 #anders #for real tho the battle dialogue in DA2 is phenomenal in general #it's so in-character and so emotional -- it makes it feel so real for them to have all these ways to react to each other getting hurt #they're friends not an army! they react as if their friend or their sibling just went down in front of them! #(except fenris who delivers all his lines with the sort of dry absentmindedness you'd use for commenting on the weather #and we love him for that) #carver gets super small and scared when he gets injuries and lashes out at you because of it but he's just. afraid. #he just wants his big brother/sister to fix it and it makes him sound so young and vulnerable under the surliness ;____; #also there's so many -- and I cannot stress this enough -- EXTREMELY funny lines in there #it's the sort of detail work I'm kind of sad inquisition left behind #tho I DO understand why it's not a thing you can feasibly do when you have permutations of like nine different companions lol #but the mixed horror and disbelief whenever aveline or hawke go down -- like they are universal constants to the rest of them....... #does so much storytelling and character work in such a little space it's so *elegant* writing-wise

"Carlos, if you could just pause your experiment for a second--if you could only hear me out, hear my hypothesis! I think once you understand the science of the situation, you--" Carlos opened the door. He was crying. She had never seen him cry. He was overwhelmed and unsure of how to express his emotions, since he usually only did so in carefully worded sentences, not with water from his body. "The science of the situation?" he snarled. "That Otherworld. I was trapped there, Nilanjana. I couldn't see Cecil for ten lonely years. I was kept away from the people I love, in that desolate place where you never get hungry and you never have to drink water and so you never live. It is a place that devours. It is a place that is empty. That is the science of the situation, and I study it so I can fix it. Only I can do that. Only these experiments can do that. I'm sorry, Nilanjana; I'm not going to stop so you can tell me what science is."

#Tyto listens to WtNV #spoiler warning I guess for a book that came out a few years ago now #anyway yeah hi I finished the book #the resolutions to the plot and to Nils' character arc were pretty good. nothing to write home about but fun and serviceable #I personally get annoyed whenever a story pulls a ''you thought this romance would end with these two TOGETHER? lol NOPE'' #like we get it it's more realistic for whirlwind romances to end in a breakup and sometimes it's better for people to just stay friends #but firstly this isn't real life; it's fiction. with narrative devices and such. #and secondly WtNV of all media does NOT get to preach about realistic relationship trajectories when its lead fell in love at first sight #lmao I'm just saying. I'm not MAD about it or anything it just made me roll my eyes. #ANYWAY. that aside: it was good. and I do genuinely like the friendship Nilanjana builds up with Darrell at the end #but obviously the real star of the show was Carlos and the completely unprecedented character depth that they smothered him in. #not ONLY recontextualizing over a year's worth of the podcast but ALSO saddling him with LAYERS of guilt over the events in this book #he *KILLED* the *GODDAMN* *CENTIPEDE* #after his beautiful little speech about not killing things just because we don't understand them! #he was just SO traumatized by his time in the Otherworld and SO afraid for his family after Janice nearly got Got that he KILLED IT!!! #and THEN!!!! not only do they find out that the centipede wasn't responsible for the destruction!! #but it turns out it was HIS OWN MACHINE THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #his attempts to keep everyone safe were what actually caused the danger!!!! AUGH HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP #HE'S JUST SCARED AND HE WANTS EVERYONE TO BE SAFE AND NOT EXPERIENCE THE SAME HORRORS HE DID AUGHDUSHGHDH #...anyway yeah back to my regularly scheduled episode listening tomorrow

I have personal beef with most of the tiktok mlp infection aus because of how they mischaracterize or immediately kill off Twilight as if she doesn't literally give off the most potent Final Girl vibes 💀 like she's smart, strong, and knows how to function both alone & w/ a group. Her ass would NOT be dying immediately. Then if they don't make her the first to die they usually make her the evil-scientist villain or something.

Really missing the whole point of why survival horrors are scary, the main conflict should revolve around the struggle of surviving in a wasteland and the strained relationships that come along with that. What good does having a "main antagonist" do? They defeat them and then what? There's still zombies outside

#my little hater rant now that the trend has passed its peak and most people who wanted to throw their hat in the ring have #i really like some of them don't get me wrong #but i feel like a lot of them put their all into the designs and then don't have the same inspiration to write an impactful apocalypse STORY #and as a big twdg fan growing up i'm a big fan of survival horrors #the main conflict of any apocalypse story should always be man vs. nature bc zombies/walkers/whatever are all usually mindless #they don't have a motivation. it's the protag who has the motivation to survive #ofc you can have man vs. man or more importantly man vs. self sideplots but there's usually no “big bad” of any apocalypse story #there's no villain to defeat where once you do everything goes back to normal. unless you want to take a cop out route #and say that person was just hiding the cure all along #but not having a villain is a lot different from ANY mlp arc where there's always a main antagonist to defeat at the end of each season #like tirek or discord or chrysalis #which I think is why so many people making these aus struggle with this concept so much and why a lot of them feel directionless #because a lot of apocalypse stories end with the main character dying or leaving it open ended for a REASON #as both a mlp and survival horror fan I love both of these medias and this rant comes from a place of love btw #this is just me rambling about my interests #basilspeakss

Hanahaki disease trope you will always be famous

#love reading about characters going through it bc that's just like me fr #<- not in love at all but constantly coughing because of the Psychological Horrors + would sooner die than talk to people about Feelings #mytext #unrelated but not really but a lot of the criticisms people have for hanahaki shouldn't be directed to hanahaki itself but rather to how #people sometimes write it. and even then it's a case by case basis #like. eg i dislike it too when the CureTM is ''you get surgery but you will never be able to experience love again (you will be broken for #the rest of your life'') because that's. a pretty shitty view yeah but other times people ''''call out'''' this trope for being #~manipulative~ and ~guilt tripping~ and like. ok? ajfkfjg idk how to explain it and i don't even like stories that lean on this aspect #bc i prefer the ones where the mc broods and angsts on their own like a loser despite unknowingly being loved back #but So What if some people want to write a ~toxic~ relationship. good for them!!!!!!! #p+

[heart-bones]

my eyes h u r t I've been writing for hours ⚰️

BUT. PROGRESS.

I might actually reach the end of like. the first part.

#case part almost over then its back to the horror parts #i was discouraged a few days ago but ive been reading a really good fic and it inspired me to want to finish 🥲 #(it wont be the same or as good in my opinion BUT tbqh i can be a fan of my own writing when i really get to it SO.) #anyway wormsin if you're out there i love your work and Its Never Over Until Its Over is agonizing & im obsessed with it #can't wait until the end #i have kind of been avoiding new fics while im writing because i don't want to be too Influenced or accidentally plagarize. ykwim? #its almost brudick week deadline time so there's going to be SO MUCH NEW STUFF #and one of the prompts i think is gothic horror #which im panicked about because HOW CAN I COMPARE #but im not participating in it officially and i just...i wanted to write it since i saw those damn pictures its been months #im excited to finish!!! WHO AM I #i already have another lil one i wanna do

5 Happy Things

09/03/2022

1. Lychee drinks

2. Taro drinks

3. Lychee jelly in drinks!!!

4. Ice Capps

5. Goofy straws

#5 happy things #anyways i've been thinking lately and i just #REALLY like when villains talk all gently and softly and kindly and do that lil like gentle i-could-hurt-you-but-why-would-i touch thingy mm #and the protag like can't move or smth not bc they can't but bc they know the villain is powerful enough that they can't move y'know??? #i don't know if i'm expressing this right but like #ugh i hate using this example bc the way they did it SUCKED and was so lame but in bnha when shiggy meets izuku at the mall? #and he puts his hand on the back of izuku's neck (i think) and izuku can't move bc if he does shiggy could just put his fifth finger down? #whatever that was so boring bc i have a bias against hoshi's writing but when done RIGHT... yeah #gently brushing fingers against your cheek or tucking a strand of hair behind your ear and you can't MOVE bc you're so scared #speaking softly saying stuff like 'my dear' or talking about inane things that don't matter bc they know they're in control #i just read a really good well done portrayal of this in this naruto fanfic called 'a lack of wisdom' (which i'll tentatively recc) and it #WHOOOOOO #i've been LOOKING for a portrayal that good and it just hit the spot #some of the darker dick grayson/[creepy older man] fics do it well too but they never resolve the way i want y'know? #they're just so depressing there's no happy ending #wow this is actually incoherent #i should just. leave a comment on the fic telling the writer how much i love that scene eh #i wanted really badly to write a good scene like this in 'the journey' (the spidey horror fanfic) but i didn't get to :/ #not good enough yet #but when i am good enough i'll write a good scene like this hopefully and it'll be so good

not sure if between heaven & earth is becoming too nihilistic or the warriors' lives are, in fact, hell. I'll look over it again and think. I'm confident that it won't ALL be doom and gloom, even if it starts that way. the titan trio should be offered moments of humanity, even from their enemies.

the animosity between reiner and annie will soften with distance and a little self-reflection as the stakes are raised with eren as the wrench in everyone else's plans. but I don't want to get completely self-indulgent/navel-gazing with the angst.

I say titan trio bc the 104th are important but they're not really the main focus. the reiss family, the tyburs, grisha & kruger are the actors at play. it's their world and everyone on paradis is stuck in it.

#musings #I feel like... I may have gone too far in a few places with the exposition? #like I want to get across the idea of the mundanity of these moments #not even in an ordinary day-to-day kind of way #just these moments that seemed one way that upon reflection tell more about a character's inner turmoil than that character will admit #and the quiet subtle horror of how deeply and insidiously the kids in the warrior program are/were treated #I also have a sinking feeling that my writing has simutaneously degraded and improved in opposite directions #it's all technical but there's not as much blind idealistic love #hey... is that why I keep coming back to this #having a brain blast ig

hi. im normal about books. now everyone go read Lone Women by Victor LaValle

#rot.txt #personally i dont think it works super well as HORROR (despite being labeled as such on libby) but god its good. #okay spoilers now. the reeds being so performative makes me crazy #jerrine talks of women dressing as men to join a war but the moment she meets a “girl” dressed as a boy living as a boy she loses her mind #also from a writing perspective i liked how even after sam is outed the narrative still doesnt misgender him #hes still a boy. jerrine thinks hes a girl and put him in a dress but hes still a boy #the reeds being all “this town is a family!” but are so willing to slaughter all the people they dont want there at the drop of a hat #jack calling fiona a SLUR and barely realizing that its wrong. he only backs down because he knows fiona and bertie could beat him up #and like. him not stopping joab from killing delmus. the stranglers. they killed those wolfers without any proof of their crime #both of them put on this face of being perfect and kind but the moment theyre faced with something a little different they have to kill it #literally. #i was going to end it there but chapter 61 is making me abnormal. joab being faced with sam knowing this nine year olds mother #is being hanged in the building next door. so soon after strangling his brother and seeing his own mother die at the claws of a demon #and knowing his other brothers were picked off by the same demon. ough. and dont even get me started on elizabeth #im not done yet so i dont know but i was thinking elizabeth is a metaphor for disability being “shameful” to the family #and how family members face difficulty taking care of a disabled loved one and are blinded to said loved ones own struggles #adelaide does basically say this ^ to elizabeth. she was so caught up being angry about the isolation #that she didnt think about how elizabeth felt about the same thing but WORSE. at least adelaide had parents #elizabeth just had jailers #and yes elizabeth has killed and eaten several people (and horses) but what else can she do? what else has she been offered? #god. between the time i started this and now i finished the book LKDSJFDS #anyway its about adults failing children and the marginalized standing together and believing each other #the end was great. i loved how the Lone Women werent really alone at the end. they found a place to be happy and safe #as much as i like miserable endings this one was sweet. i liked it #i have more to say but these tags are long enough

[ranger-kellyn]

when i say the angstiest fic has been rolling around my brain all weekend.................

#angst in the way of 'people are complex and messy and make bad decisions' #it's cynthia/diantha bc hello it's me -- but also some absolutely messy cynthia/steven #the line in Say Don't Go ''I said ''I love you'' you say nothing back'' has me absolutely by the throat like............... #i'll figure out the specifics later of diantha's mess but it's probably hollywood horrors - i can write that in my sleep #and i want when cynthia and diantha do finally meet in this story they're both just at their messiest low #a little ''i'm a mess. you're a mess. let's be an even bigger mess together'' #ALSO i want to play a bit with what the whole ''Indigo League Alliance'' could be like - the social politics of it all #i did nOT need this literally days before nanowrimo........................ #fuck it optimism: imagine it i finish getaway car in record time #and then use the rest of the month to get a draft of this done........ #imagine #writing tag

Sources for Somerton's Plagiarism from Hbomberguy's Video (as much as I could get)

I went back through Harry's video, focused entirely on the sources James Somerton pulled from in the hopes of creating as much of a comprehensive list as I could--though my Google-Fu is not very strong. I did however find something I thought was forever lost and that made me very happy--specifically the magazine Midlands Zone containing the column by Steven Spinks that Harry poignantly used as an illustration of gay erasure... while Somerton uses it to sound like HE is waxing remorseful about the very subject.

This is not a complete list, I'm sure. For one thing, I was only able to attempt to pull sources that Harry himself mentioned in the video. Surely there's so very much more out there. I expect there to be a great deal more internet archeology to unearth just how much writing and culture Somerton has stolen like he's the British Museum of Natural History but for gay people.

Harry's list of mentioned youtubers:

Alexander Avila - https://www.youtube.com/@alexander_avila Matt Baume - https://www.youtube.com/@MattBaume Khadija Mbowe - https://www.youtube.com/@KhadijaMbowe Lady Emily - https://www.youtube.com/@LadyEmilyPresents Shanspeare - https://www.youtube.com/@Shanspeare RickiHirsch - https://www.youtube.com/@RickiHirsch VerilyBitchie - https://www.youtube.com/@verilybitchie

Harry created a convenient playlist of videos by these and other people he wants to bring to everyone's attention.

Please give them your support.

Midlands Zone Magazine - Column by Steven Spinks

After a great deal of searching, I found an archive of the "Midlands Zone" magazine, where you can read through past issues dating all the way back to February 2014. I have also found the issue from which Somerton took Spinks' poignant discussion of gay erasure: Overall archive Specific Issue - Pages 16-17

It will not allow you to download it, but you can read it exactly as it appeared in print form.

I refrained from including certain sources.

First off only focusing on Somerton's work.

Secondly not including anything that might be visible enough to not require amplifying their voice (I cannot speak for all of those I have found links to, but journalism is frequently a thankless job).

Thirdly any source that is of a nature that is antithetical to the very existence of the queer community, such as the right-leaning source that didn't make it into Somerton's video, but Harry was able to identify as a source he had considered using.

If you feel I have missed a mentioned source--or you know of a source from material that was not covered in Harry's video--please do not hesitate to reblog with added details.

Please share this information far and wide, and please add to it if you find more material that can be positively identified and linked to the creator/writer.
