also how is it that spanish love songs has such good merch??? i don't think I've ever been to a show before where I had to struggle so hard to pick just one thing, like in a lot of cases there's only really one thing that appeals to me or I just get something bc i love the band and need to have them on me regardless of what the design looks like. but i was spending ages just staring at the merch stand trying to pick one out of alllll the things i wanted
#i got one shirt with 'stay alive out of spite' on the back and i love it#i thougt super long and hard about the brave faces everyone shirt because it is literally one of my favorite songs#but i decided not to go for it bc i have their baseball hat with the exact same words on it anyway#also they had this really awesome zip up hoodie that I was staring at for ages#but alas it was 60 bucks and i do not have that kind of money lol#at first i was looking through their merch like omg theres so much good stuff i need to get this shirt and that shirt and that hoodie and#then i saw the prices and remembered I'd probably have to narrow it down to just one shirt lol#I'm not actually really about it though i freaking love this shirt im actually wearing it right now lol#it's definitely gonna be one of my favorite shirts to wear#also i need to do a revamp of my wardrobe#all my tops are black band tees which is fine but most of them are from hot topic and of mostly big bands that i don't listen to super often#and like that was fine when i first got them#but it is not enough now i I need several shirts for the same bands that i am Obsessed with bc one shirt per band is not enough#i am a very normal person with very normal ideas about clothes and music and a very regular amount of interest in bands#anyway all this to say i might end up getting a bunch of sls merch anyway in the future#just so i can wear them while also listening to them which would be all the time#anyway i think this shirt is gonna be super good for my mental health bc every time i wear it im gonna be thinking of the lyrics on the back#also im definitely washing this (and my whole outfit) tomorrow morning so i can wear it again right away and show it off to everyone#if ur wondering about the washing part its bc i have a general routine when it comes to getting merch at shows#where i go to the merch stand right away so i can get a good size before its sold out#and i put it on over my t shirt so i don't have to worry about carrying it#and its also the outermost layer so the band gets to see me wearing it like hiii i love ur stuff so much i got it and wore it to see you#now this does have the unfortunate side effect of getting absolutely drenched in sweat after the show#one time i was wearing three shirts at once along with a hoodie tied to my waist bc i got a bunch of merch and it was sooo warm#i have no intentions of changing this routine though i like how efficient it is#oh also the shirt is green!! another thing that made me choose it over the others#i literally do not own any green shirts#so i am very happy that i have a very nice shirt that i like in a new color#mine#my shows

Possessive! Dom! Ethan Landry x Sub! Reader (smut)
Synopsis: You make Ethan jealous after a party, so he had to take out his anger on you somehow.
A/N: This isn’t the first smut i’ve ever written but it’s the first one i’ve ever publicly posted. 😭 My notes app is full of them lmfao. I hope y’all enjoy this bc this gets pretty nasty lmfao. ALSO USE A CONDOM YALL.
This Fic Contains: spit kink, degrading, slight dumbification, slut shaming? idk?, ETHAN RIPS YO CLOTHES OFF, choking, dacryphilia, unprotected sex, choking on fingers hehe, face grabbing, spanking, creampie, hair pulling, fingering, squirting, mentions of alcohol, reader is a bimbo in this too, size kink hehe, face slapping, wholesome aftercare
The door being slammed behind you is what made you realize, you were fucked.
“Listen, I didn’t want to make a scene back there but if you would’ve just stopped playing dumb, then maybe I wouldn’t have had to!” Ethan yelled as he hightailed you while you sped over to your bedroom.
Earlier, you attended a college party with Ethan and the rest of your friends. You weren’t even drunk but the alcohol helped you be less nervous at that party. You were dressed in the tightest mini skirt ever that even the slightest movement showed off your lacy white panties, and Ethan wasn’t going to have any of that especially with you on the dance floor.
He noticed that a ton of guys were captivated by you and your outfit, so they took the chance to dance with you. You thought nothing of it and simply thought they were being nice.
But of course, Ethan knew what was going on through their heads. They just wanted a chance to have their way with you.
Ethan couldn’t watch his girlfriend get between a bunch of guys, so he instead shoved through the people at the party and grabbed your hand.
“We’re leaving.” Ethan urged in a very low tone.
“Woah! Already? We just got here E!”
Ethan was already pissed off and you did not need to make it worse.
“We’re leaving Y/N!”
You swiped your hand away from him and stood there. “Hey! What’s your deal?!”
Ethan turned around and glared at you. “My deal?! You’re letting other guys touch up on you while you’re dressed like that!” You were fuming at this point.
“Fine. You can leave then! You’re no fun at all.” You we’re about to turn around before Ethan grabbed your wrist this time and pulled you through the crowd of people which caused you to get weird stares as you were dragged out.
The entire walk home, you were complaining about how Ethan just embarrassed you.
Eventually that led to him snapping at you back at your dorm.
You tried to close the door behind you before Ethan got into the room first.
“You’re my girlfriend. Not anyone else’s. Got that?” Ethan growled as he grabbed your wrist again, this time tighter than before.
You whimpered slightly at the pain. “E-Eth’ that hurts-“
He then pulled you in by your throat, shoving you onto your bed and quickly sliding down your skirt. You sit up on your elbows in surprise as you watch him rip off your panties. You squeal out in surprise and are quick to try to cover yourself from the cold air.
Ethan grabs your wrist again and pins it aside as he stares at your extremely tight top.
“I bought you that didn’t I. I don’t think all those other guys would spoil you like I do.”
At first, he gently slid his hand on your breast, staring at your hard nipples, noticing you weren’t wearing a bra before ripping off your top too.
“That was my favorite!!“ You whined.
He scoffed and threw it aside. “I’ll buy you a new one.”
He then sat up on his knees, towering over your small frame. Ethan then grabbed your hair by the scalp and pulled you up toward his face as he growled in your ear. “If you fucking move, or try to touch yourself, I swear you won’t be able to walk tomorrow.”
You could feel your tight hole already soak at the thought of that. You could feel yourself pulsing as you breathed heavily.
Ethan took his toned hand and gently pressed one finger against your already pulsating pussy. He then slid it down your slit and felt the wetness between your folds.
“Fuck. Aren’t you just a sweet dumb thing. Already wet by my words? Or are you thinking about what i’ll do to you next?“
You couldn’t even speak as he kept your hair in between his knuckles and kept sliding his index finger up and down your slit.
“Answer me.” He then slapped your pussy, causing you to jolt and bite your lip, holding in a moan.
“Y-Your words Eth’…”
Ethan grinned as he slowly shoved his index finger into your tight pussy.
“Such a good cumdump.”
You tightened around his index finger already as he shoved his middle finger in as well.
He gave no warning as he suddenly sped up and started fingerfucking you. You wailed out as he rammed his fingers in and out of you making your body arch and squirm as you could do nothing but hold onto the bedsheets. The way he would drill his fingers in and out would make you go insane. He then grabbed you by your face and squeezed your cheeks.
Your eyes glimmered as it signified pleasure and you, already fucked out, rolled your eyes to the back of your head.
“F-Fuck…fuck…fuck..!!”
Ethan grinned at you and shoved his two fingers into your mouth, still keeping a tight grip on your face meanwhile darting his fingers in and out of your tight and gushy pussy, constantly hitting the spots that made you jolt and yelp the most.
His index and middle fingers went deep into your mouth that it hit the back of your uvula, making you slightly gag and choke on them as tears already formed in your eyes, ruining your mascara.
You were now like a piece of artwork to him. He was so satisfied with what he created out of you. He was so captivated by your beauty that he couldn’t help but just force your mouth further open just to spit in your mouth. He then forced it shut, signaling for you to swallow it.
Ethan then slapped your face and grabbed your hair again, facing your head down towards the mess that he was making and made you watch as he jackhammered his fingers in and out of you, watching you lift your lower body from the mattress.
“Oh fuuuckkk…Ethan! M’gonna-“
“That’s right. Go ahead, whore.”
He continued to hit your spots at full speed as your wetness flew all over the bed and even onto the floor.
You wailed out as you felt your orgasm wash over you, making your body shiver and twitch. Ethan watched as you squirted all over his hand and the bedsheets.
He smirked at the sight of you squirting all over him then unbuckled his pants, pulling down his zipper and then revealing his boxers. Ethan then pulled his shirt over his head, revealing his very toned abs and you could feel yourself getting turned on by the sight of his very well built body.
You continued staring at him as he pulled his boxers down, revealing his hard, twitching cock. He then smacked your ass, signaling you to turn over onto your stomach. You looked up at him, doe-eyed as you nodded and followed his exact commands.
He then grabbed your face again, forcing you to make eye contact with him with your head faced upwards as he towered over you again.
“God, you’re so pretty.”
You blushed at his comment before he forced yourself to arch against him. You were about to lift your head up until he pushed your head down into the mattress.
He then gave no warning as he completely shoved himself inside of you causing you to whine out in pain and pleasure. Your feet curled as you could feel his tip graze against your cervix.
He then thrusted himself in and out as he pulled your hair, forcing your face down into the pillow, completely ruining your makeup as it stained the bedsheets. Your moans were so pornographic and loud that anyone could hear next door, but it didn’t matter because all this heart racing pleasure is what kept you from thinking about anything else.
“Think all those other guys can fuck you like me? Make you squirt and cry like me? Hell no.”
You loved being his. And he loved being yours.
He then pulled out to flip you on your back again as he pulled you by your ankle towards him to line up his cock on your dripping slit. Examining your wet cunt, he then spat on it, making you gasp and your pussy twitch at the sight of it.
“Such a pretty sight from such a pretty cumdump.” He marveled at your glistening cunt.
You lightly giggled at his comment before he practically folded you in half and shoved himself deep inside of you again. Your mouth was agape as he began thrusting in you again.
You could feel and hear the slamming of his hips as it echoed throughout the room.
“M’ gonna fill you up so good, princess. And I want you to look directly at me when I do it.”
You struggled to even reply to him so all you could do was nod. Your poor pussy was already bruised by the time he began shoving himself in you that you couldn’t help but cry and squeal out in pain and pleasure.
He then took you by your throat as he started wrapping his hand around it, squeezing as you gasped for air. he then took his other hand and shoved it in the back of your throat, making you gag again and watching your tears flow out again.
It wasn’t until he leaned in and kissed you so sloppily that all you could feel is his tongue swirling around your mouth and trying to slide it’s way to your uvula, that you felt yourself tighten more and more around him that you were practically milking him. You both moaned into each other’s mouths before he pulled away, your tongue sticking out as lines of saliva connected your mouths.
You looked so gorgeous. Having your insides fucked like he absolutely hated you, and you just taking it like a good girl.
He continued choking you as you grabbed onto the bedsheets, feeling a sort of coil in your stomach.
“Oh- Mmmff!! I’m gunna cum!!”
Ethan only went faster after your words and continued drilling himself into your cervix as he grabbed your face one last time.
“Do it. But don’t take your pretty eyes off of me. I wanna watch you, my bunny.”
“M-Mhm!! S-Shit…!”
You nodded and let out more moans and whimpers as he continued to thrust in and out as the squelching noises of your fucking filled the room.
“Ohhhh!! Ethannnn!!!”
You let out a few more wails of pleasure as you kept eye contact with Ethan before you felt your orgasm unravel again and the feeling of cum gushing out of your pussy onto his cock ran through your body as it convulsed and shivered.
Just a few more thrusts later, Ethan then released his hot and thick load inside of your womb, filling it to the brim. He kept himself deep inside you so that almost none of it would fall out. He groaned out and slightly whimpered at the overwhelming pleasure of your tight cunt cumming all over his fat cock mixed with his orgasm.
You both were now panting messes. Ethan then looked down at your completely fucked out face as it was stained with makeup and mascara. He smiled and gently kissed your forehead.
He then lifted himself off of you, picking up his boxers and putting them back on. He noticed you were practically unresponsive to him, so he picked you up off the bed and carried you bridal style to the bathroom. He set you down on the cold sink, causing you to shiver as he started up a bath for you. He waited until the water was warm and filled the tub before he carried you and gently sat you inside.
He was now bathing your entire body and helping you clean up your face. You gazed lovingly at your boyfriend as he did all of this, meanwhile he was complimenting you.
“You did so well today, bunny. You’re my perfect girl.”
Your heart fluttered at his comments. He really was the man you loved and wanted to spend the rest of your life with.
After your bath, he helped dry you up and then carried you back to the bedroom with a towel wrapped around your body. Watching him rummage around your clothes, you twirled your hair and gazed at his back muscles. Ethan then came back with panties and one of his shirts for you to wear. He slipped it onto you and smiled as it draped over your body.
Ethan then crawled onto the bed next to you, waiting for you to rest your head on his chest. Once you did, you were quick to fall asleep on it, listening to his heartbeat as he toyed with your hair.

Stepbro!steve x Reader installment #1
Warnings: stepcest, smut (sex), cum talk. A short one
A/N: third story of the day woo. So listen I’m not sure the direction I want this to go quite yet, I’m not sure if I wanna make installments like I did with stepbro eddie or if I want to just make a bunch of different fics that stand alone. For now, we’re gonna call this installment #1 :)
-
“God, you look so fucking good. You know that, right? Know you’re torturing me?”
“Yeah right.”
It’s apparently about the outfit you’re wearing, but really, he says this pretty much every day. He thinks it’s flattering, but it can just be annoying most of the time.
“I’m serious. Don’t walk away from me.”
“I have things to do, Steve.”
“Yeah? And I think *im* the first thing on the list.” He says, looking down at an imaginary piece of paper.
“Yeah, no, it doesn’t say that. Also, that list isn’t real.”
He comes up behind you, clothed cock rubbing against your bare ass as you’re bent slightly over to reach something.
“Stop. They’re right there, stupid.”
You both glance over at your respective parents in the living room from where you are in the kitchen.
“C’mon, be nice.” He frowns.
He was annoying, but he was really fucking good at making up for it. You decided you’d have him make up for it now, at least he’d be good for something.
“I will be nice, in the bathroom.” You smile and run up the stairs. He follows you up to the bathroom, quickly shutting and locking the door behind you. He gets way into your personal space, having no sense of it. The smell of him invaded your senses and enveloped you.
“God, bend over for me.”
You do, leaning against the counter, and you skirt rides almost all the way up. He takes generous handfuls of your ass and squeezes hard, as well as delivering some small but effective spanks that had you whimpering.
He presses up against you from behind again, cock even harder now, straining against his blue jeans. He ruts into your core, teasing you, leaving you needing more. He knows you want him, of course he does.
“Please, Steve.”
“Aww, good manners.” He talks to you as if you’re a dog who just did the right trick.
He hooks his fingers around the waistband of your thong panties, pulling them off of you, but they stick a bit.
He smirks, you can see it in the mirror.
“This wet for me?”
“Yes, for you, dumbass.”
“What happened to being nice, hmm?”
“I’ll be nice when you give me what I want.”
“I’ll give you everything, baby. Shit, I’ll give you everything.”
He finishes pulling your panties off, then moves to unfastening his belt, button and zipper. He pushes them down his legs, to just above his knees. He runs the tip through your folds, spreading the wetness all over.
“Fuck, so warm.” He comments quietly, feeling heat radiating from your core, begging for him to come in. “Ready?”
“Mhm.” You nod, desperately trying to be patient but failing. Thankfully, he finally pushes in, and you let out a light, breathy moan. You know you need to be quiet but can’t, drunk on the way he stretches your tight pussy out every single time. He pulls out and pushes back into you, starting to thrust in and out, and you struggle not to whine.
His nails dig in to your ass while he picks up the pace, slamming into you unforgivingly and hitting your cervix. The moan that came out, just came out. You didn’t give it permission, but it didn’t care.
He takes one hand off your ass to bring it to your face, covering your mouth with it. You make eye contact with him in the mirror, both of you looking incredibly raw and desperate. His expression gives a warning, a warning to be quiet.
You nod your head as much as you can, to tell him you’ll try, but another moan comes out the second he removes his hand and thrusts into you deeper than ever.
“Shut up.” He whispers harshly in your ear, losing patience but having an idea.
He pushes two of his fingers into your mouth, and you happily suck on them. It keeps you busy and quiet, and it was definitely a sight to see. You took his fingers all the way to the back of your throat, treating them just as if they were his cock.
“So dumb, fucked stupid. Such a slut for her ‘brother’, hmm?”
“Mhm,” you try to say but fail.
“Yeah, I know. Being good for me. Be real fucking good for me.”
He continues to pound you from behind, ruthlessly getting harder and harder. Each time hitting a spot deep within you that had you falling apart quickly.
He could tell you were gonna orgasm just from the way you tightened on him, and he clasped his saliva covered hand over your mouth to quieten your impending release.
When you cum, he shows no mercy, still fucking you hard and deep at the same pace, maybe even harder than before. When he doesn’t stop after you cum, you get a second orgasm quickly, this time squirting around him and feeling the fluid dripping down your legs.
“Fuck, you’re so hot. So. Fucking. Hot.” He enunciated each word with a thrust.
“Oh god, I’m gonna cum, baby.” He says in a hushed tone, both hands gripping your ass again. You feel him unload into you, hot cum painting your walls.
He didn’t stop til he had absolutely nothing left. He said he would give you everything, and he did. You felt like a toy for him, just a place for him to dump his cum, and you were okay with that.
He pulled out of you, panting.
“God, pretty girl, you’re so beautiful. So good.”
You turn to face him and he places a giant kiss on your forehead, leaving slobber that you wipe off with your sleeve. You’re so happy when he’s sweet afterwards, because you don’t feel used; but loved.
“Thank you, Stevie, but get out. I need to take a shower now.”
“Alright, alright, I’m going.” He says, hands up in defeat. You smile as he opens the door, looks both ways, and leave. You lock the door behind him and get ready for your shower.

Maintenance
Ken x Afab!Reader
NSFW, 18+
Tumblr media
Wordcount: 1459
Summary: Some new additions needs maintenance...
Content warning: some fluff, masturbation (male)
You looked at the pad and the house in front of you. You checked off the rooms, the external condition of the house and the yard.  Everything looked fine.
You moved on to inventorying furniture, clothes and accessories.
Considering Barbie lived for few decades and fashions changed... even faster, it was going to be a long day.
The kitchen took you about 5 minutes. Luckily all the Barbies and Kens were on the beach. No one will disturb you or engage in small talk ending in full-blown discussion about the Real World. 
At least that's what you thought.
Ken was sitting on the couch in the living room, leaning against a pillar, which is why you hadn't seen him before. He was reading a book about horses. But didn't look like he was paying attention to it, constantly shifting in his seat. 
“Ken?”
He stood up quickly and looked at you in surprise.
"Who are you? A new Barbie?” the man…you mean the doll, you reminded yourself, was as surprised as you.
“No, I work for Mattel. I'm checking out the Dream House for a new doll.”
Ken lifted his head and stared at you with his blue, sparkling eyes. Only now did you notice his rosy cheeks.
“You're from Mattel?!” he cried, his voice full of hope. "Can you help me?! Sublime!"
“Uh, sure, I can help you, but I need to do this inventory first.”
“Inven…what?” Ken tried to pronounce the new word, but eventually gave up. You looked at him discreetly, 'checking' the furniture in the living room on the pad.
The doll was wearing his new lightning bolt tracksuit and a leather vest with fringes. He used a fingerless gloved hand to straighten the falling fringe of his platinum hair on his bandana. You wouldn't admit it at work, but he looked great in those clothes. They gave him his own, individual look. He was no longer just an accessory for Barbie. 
Seeing his still questioning look, you showed him the clipboard. He stood towering over you and began to read aloud.
“Oh. So you check if everything is there? I didn't take anything.” Ken raised his hands in a defensive gesture he had learned from being arrested twice in the Real World.
You smiled at him and patted his back. His muscles were rock hard.
The poor guy was tense as if he was about to explode.
“I’ll help you, then you will help me faster, right?” His tone was almost pleading. What was so important that he needed a human?
However, you agreed and with Ken behind you, you went upstairs. The wardrobe and dressing table will take the most time. But when you were looking through the first bunch of clothes, you felt that Ken's help would be indispensable.  He knew every garment, line and name of the limited editions.
You quickly went through the wardrobe and stood in front of the display where outfits for a given occasion or day were displayed. You took note of everything that was visible, feeling Ken's breath on your neck. Strange... The dolls didn't breathe. And certainly not with hot air.  You turned to him to ask about it and saw his rosy cheeks and neck. He grabbed your arms desperately and you felt yourself shaking.
"Everything's all right?" you asked, seeing how his lower abdominal muscles tighten. You opened your mouth unconsciously, seeing the impressive size of the tent in his sweatpants. Oh my… The dolls had no genitalia.
“Okay, let's go to the bedroom, you need to sit down," you took charge and went there first.
Ken looked miserable when he showed up on the floor. You gestured to the open clamshell bed, placing pillows behind his back. He needed to relax. Or… No, you didn't even think about that. And how are you supposed to teach a man (a doll) what to do?
“Let's try this…close your eyes and think about something disgusting,” you suggested, knowing it would be a long ordeal. Ken must have been in this shit hole situation for a while.
He listened to you and squeezed his eyes shut for a moment, but he didn't even budge in his pants.
“Argh, I can't! I don't know what could be disgusting, all my thoughts are nice!” Ken groaned, looking reproachfully at his crotch.  The pink on his cheeks began to turn into a redder shade and spread to the rest of his face.
“Okay, let's try something else…” you couldn't watch him suffer. You knew perfectly well what it was like to feel frustrated when you wanted to feel good so much and you couldn't. And he didn't even know about this possible pleasure.  Something had caused him to start turning into a human and now he sat there with a raging boner. You were responsible for the maintenance of this part of Barbieland, so technically showing Ken how to please himself was... your job?
You sat on the edge of the bed and took one of his large hands, guiding it to his crotch and still keeping your hand on his, you pressed down on his cock and moved your hands up and down. Ken let out a guttural moan, so deep and shuddering, you thought he was going to cum.  He looked straight at you. Something in his blue eyes made your breath catch in your throat. By force of will, you removed your hand from him and placed it on the zipper of your jeans.
“Move your hand up and down like this,” you pointed and Ken obeyed. After a while, his moans echoed around the area, but it didn't last long. When he looked at you in frustration, you knew you couldn't avoid this…
“It doesn't do anything, I'm so hot, and I feel… I feel…” Ken couldn't say what he felt. He wasn't sure, he had ever felt this before in his life.
“I know, Ken. Okay. Pull out… This,” you finished, your voice a little too rough. You cleared your throat and pointed to his hands gripping his cock.
Ken quickly pulled down the waistband of his pants and freed himself from the material. Of course he had no underwear. And he must have looked so amazing. Involuntarily, you felt warmth spreading between your thighs. Pull yourself together, girl!
“Are these… Ge-genitals?” the man looked at himself in surprise, stroking the delicate skin along his entire length, reaching to the head.  When his fingers ran over the frenulum, he shuddered and a large drop of precum appeared on the tip.
"Yes. Men have a penis, women have a vagina,” you explained. Since you were already teaching him how to masturbate, he could learn the basics of anatomy.
Ken's eyes became as big as saucers. “So you have something else? Barbie has…”
“The vagina, yes. Because we are women,” you finished.
“Oh… Ooooh,” Ken moaned, touching himself more confidently now, instinctively using the wetness coming out of him to lessen the unpleasant friction. The leather of his gloves creaked as he clasped one hand around the base and moved the other up and down. He threw his head back, resting on the pillow, and panted faster and faster.
“Oh my... What is happening to me...?!  Hahm… I… I can't… I feel so hot. I can’t hold it,” he groaned, looking at his hands and cock, and you felt how hot he was actually getting. Or at least you shared his feelings, knowing damn well that this sight would never be forgotten in your memory.
Ken's hands grabbed himself as he twitched and shot his cum high. You saw perfectly well how his body was torn by orgasm. It must have been intense.
After a while, Ken went limp all over, panting and looking at the mess he had made around him.
“It was… So…” he started, but you quickly cut him off.
"Do you feel better?"
Ken nodded lazily. With a sigh, you pulled out the pack of wet wipes you carried in your carry-on bag and handed a few to the man. He took the wet cloth from you and wiped his hands, sculpted stomach and chest. He handed you the ball of tissues and you grabbed it between two fingers and put it in a ziplock bag. You're lucky you had it all with you. And others often laughed at you for this.
“Ok, put it back…” you pointed to his still slightly swollen member and Ken lifted his pants, hiding his new addition.
“I have to finish my inspection… Umm, maybe you can get some rest…” you started, but a soft snore interrupted your words. You smiled slightly to yourself and checked the bed off your list.

each ninja was a different kind of teacher (except Lloyd who basically went on a year long press tour) and it also explains why Rebooted and after they seem a bit more responsible than in season 1 and the pilot
Cole has my favorite teacher characterization because he's objectively an interesting person with cool hobbies but when he is responsible for a group of children he just becomes Dad Who Is Helping Out At The Summer Camp. we never see his classroom, but given his proficiency in the arts we can assume he's the English teacher
since he went to art schools, he's probably not used to kids who aren't actually interested in what's being taught. the louder kids seem to dislike him (ref: running gag of "Mr Cole is the worst"), but that doesn't mean he's necessarily a bad teacher- just not one to humor pranks
also his and Kai's teacher outfits belong in the 1970s. I like the touch of making their ties the same color as their gis
Tumblr media Tumblr media
little bit of meta: most of the people who worked on this show went to school in the 80s/90s so to them "older/boring" teacher outfits would look like this. also, as someone who was in the intended age range and saw it at the time of release, this sort of clothing conveyed that the ninja were doing a stuffy adult job- juxtaposed with their colorful gis
Kai appears to be the history teacher? his teaching style is likely structured and straightforward. given his nontraditional childhood, his frustration with the kids likely comes from both his jealousy that they aren't aware of how valuable schooling is and that Nya was much easier to work with when she was their age. at the end of the day he's an older brother who's now in charge of a bunch of kids
he's using an old-fashioned projector with film, which I assume (1) shows how low-budget they are, (2) emphasizes that Kai is out of his element (pun not intended), and (3) juxtaposes them with New Ninjago City
Zane is the one who doesn't know what a vape pen looks like but will listen to you infodump for an hour after class, then drive/walk you home because you missed the bus. he probably doesn't get any of the classroom humor or notice if the kids make fun of him. I can't imagine him ever getting angry at the kids, and he probably is very good at keeping them to a routine and a schedule
Tumblr media
in rebooted episode 1 he seems to be teaching science? and the use of catapults is actually quite endearing- he's probably explaining tension and going to get his kids to make little models, which shows that he both is a pretty good teacher and hasn't realized that giving elementary/middle/primary schoolers their own catapults will only lead to chaos
he and Jay have personality-based outfits, with the snowflakes being an obvious allusion to Zane's element and the zig zags on Jay's emulating lightning
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the little bowtie on Zane reminds me of Bill Nye the Science Guy (program with a a host of the same name who taught kids about science in a fun and accessibly way- very nostalgic for kids who went to american public school)
Jay is the exhausted teacher who's more interested in his hobbies than class material, and if you get him talking about that hobby, he won't stop until the bell. as a jokester, I think he'd get along well with the kids and definitely encourage them to annoy the other ninja
we don't see his classroom, but given Jay's skills he's probably the math teacher. he'd have a difficult time explaining things in different ways- very gifted people who learn well on their own often find it hard to teach things to others, though he would make sure he doesn't leave anyone behind
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nya definitely teaches math classes, but she probably handles tutoring as well since she's well-balanced in most subjects. it would also give her an intelligence network- kids come to her room after class/during lunch to complain and gossip. she uses it in the noble pursuit to antagonize the others
i'm used this video and the ninjago wikia because I'm on mobile and finding other sources would've taken too long
extra group photo I found! love the detail that Zane blinked (Dr Julien probably took the photo)

Obey me characters as type of goths!
Tumblr media
Authors Note: This is my first time writing so sorry if its really repetitive and these are just some of my personal headcanons and little mini imagines. I myself am also relatively new to the goth scene these might now be 100% accurate.
I hope you enjoy!
Lucifer:
I could really just choose one but I think that Lucifer would really like romantic, vampire, and victorian goth
Just look at him
He already has the whole vibe
Out of all of them I think he would like romantic goth the most since he's an old romantic at heart
definitely uses to name caramia as a term of endearment to you <3
Likes to wear more formal attire such as suits and lots of jewelry preferably chunky rings
Listens to Lebanon Hanover
Imagine spending a night with him listening to his records, sipping on nice red wine and him speaking sweet nothings to you
Mammon:
This one was actually really hard but I think Mammon would be into gothabilly
He gives me the vibe that he likes any type of 50s style clothing (think greaser style)
Listens to Elvis Presley
Definitely into things like vintage cars and decor
LOTS OF LEATHER JACKETS
Collects vintage horror movies
He doesn't watch them (mainly because he thinks their scary) just collects them because he thinks they look cool
Has at least one pin up girl tattoo
Loves going to old diners with you and taking you to old car shows
Definitely uses old slang
Calls you sugar or babe
Dances rockabilly like it's no one business
please look up real 1950s rockabilly dancing it looks like so much fun
Imagine him driving in his Demonio with you listening to rock 'n' roll and going to a club and dancing all night long just laughing with each other and just forgetting everything else :)
Leviathan:
I personally think he would be very into visual kei
He dresses a little more on the colorful side
Tries to incorporate some of his favorite animes into his fashion
Also gets a lot of his inspiration from them
Makes him feel more confident and it's kinda cosplay to him so he really likes it if you dress up with him
Learned to play guitar and bass because he wanted to play his favorite solos
Loves to do your makeup (only if you ask him bc he's too shy to ask you)
He still gets kinda shy if you compliment him but he really appreciates it
Especially since his outfits take a while to get on
HE LISTENS TO MALICE MIZER I DON'T MAKE THE RULES
Imagine getting ready with him to go to a concert and just seeing how excited he is to see his favorite artist and just having an overall great time with him
Satan:
To me this one is simple
He is a 100% New England Gothic type of person
He loves learning about the history such as the Salem Witch trials
His favorite authors are H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King
His favorite book is Misery by Stephen King
Listens to The Shortwave Mystery
Fashion wise his style is more dark academia
Loves going to places that are haunted or hold cursed items
Frequent visitor of the Ed and Lorraine Warren museum
Also an old romantic
Writes love letters to you and closes them with a wax seal that has his sigil on it so you know it's him
Gives you flowers with special meanings
Calls you my heart or my joy since your the person who always makes him the happiest
Imagine him sending you a letter telling you to meet him in the library and he takes you on a date treating you like royalty and reading poetry he made specifically for you
Asmodeus:
Asmodeus would LOVE pastel goth
To him it's a perfect mix of dark edgy colors and bright bubbly colors
Loves accessories, mainly chokers and hair clips
Has A BUNCH of outfit choices for you if you want to try his style too
If you ask him to do your makeup say no more he's already sprinting to his room to get his makeup kit
Can and will dye your the brightest pastel colors if you ask him
His outfits are always perfectly coordinated
Pulls off black lipstick surprisingly well
Has graphic shirts and decorated socks for DAYS
Listens to Melenie Martinez
Calls you sweetie or love
Imagine him taking you out to Majolish, helping you buy pastel goth clothes since you've been wanting to try it out, he gives you the best tips about what accessories go best and him giving you endless praise saying how cute you look
Beelzebub:
Beel would definitely like health goth
He dresses more casually than his brothers since health goth is more wearing black and white sports brands
Really likes the music though
He listens to Molchat Doma during his workouts
I think he really likes tattoos but either is busy to get them or Lucifer doesn't let him
He works hard to keep both his physical and mental health in top shape so if you need a shoulder to lean on (both metaphorically and literally) or want a gym bro he's your guy
Calls you peach or honey
Knows a lot of comfortable goth brands if you want to buy some active wear
Imagine you come home from a long day at RAD and just being generally exhausted, you go to your room and soon Beel comes since he felt like you weren't feeling the best, he comes with your favorite snacks and you spend the rest of the night together enjoying each others presence
Belphegor:
I personally think that Belphie would be a trad goth but he barely has the time and energy for all that so I he would be an emo goth
I know what your gonna say BUT EMO AND GOTH ARE DIFFERENT I know that but I feel like he would find a way to combine them (also he thinks it's funny how it manages to get people angry)
Asmo takes his picture sometimes and adds a horrendous amount of blingees
Cuts his own hair
Owns so many band tshirts that his closet looks like a hot topic
I think he listens to Black Veil Brides or Twin Tribes
Acts like a stereotypical emo for shits and giggles
Always ends up forgetting to take off his eyeliner
Probably has a blog dedicated to astrology (Asmo got a hold of it and decorated it so much its like looking into the sun)
Probably has a few piercings
I think has has an eyebrow piercing and snake bites
Loves watching Tim Burton movies
Calls you my one and only or baby
Imagine waking from a nap to have a message from Belphie saying "Meet me in the planetarium", you go and he's there with a blanket and you two spend the rest of the night either stargazing, talking about astrology, or him reading to you some overly edgy poem talking about "your the light that reaches even the darkest parts of my soul" and "Will you be the Pon to my Zi?" (please tell me if you understand that reference)
It sounds super sappy but you know deep down he means it

hello i love your work and i was wondering if you could do my request ! may i make a request for ace, robin and zoro with a fashion designer gf who makes a bunch of clothes and shit ?!? and like what their reaction would be to them getting frustrated when they cant get a design right or they just loose motivation. and what would their reaction be to getting something made + maybe just their thoughts on their little hobby !?!? thannk u so much !!
headcanons  %  with a fashion designer gf.
Tumblr media
☻  /  characters . . .  ace, robin & zoro.
☻  /  content warnings . . .  n/a. not proofread.
☻  /  commentary . . .  thanks for the love !! >< yall are spoiling me with these lovely rqs with all my faves !! i really loved this one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
your number one hype man !!
does he understand a thing about fashion ? absolutely not. however, he hypes you up nevertheless.
ace definitely tries to learn fashion terms because fashion is your passion and he wants to be there to support you.
he definitely uses some of them incorrectly, but he’s learning. how was he supposed to know what haute couture and applique actually meant
definitely wants to be your muse. PLEASE let him model the clothes you make, whether it be blouses, dresses, or anything. he’ll definitely model it for you
he also loves it when you put together cute outfits for him. because...once again he’s struggling in that department
is always bragging about you and your talents to the other whitebeard pirates while wearing the outfits you put him in.
“it’s not easy being the best dressed around here. courtesy of MY lovebug”
now ace understands that fashion is hard. so when he sees you frustrated about a design, his immediate reaction is to smother you in as much love as humanly possible because he just wants to see you happy
his ‘you got this’ kisses are the best
if you happen to lose motivation, he’s going to try to give you the best speech he can. and it may or may not be helpful, but he wants you to know that he cares and he’s there always 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
robin finds your hobby adorable and she loves watching your eyes light up when you talk about fashion
she often helps you with your designs and bringing your designs to life. her devil fruit really comes in hand ( lol )
especially on those really hard days when your fingers are killing you and you’re beyond tired. she’s there to lend a few hands while you rest up
when you ask her to be your muse, she’s taken aback at first but she is honored that you even asked
she’s the most perfect muse you could ever ask for. plus she looks amazing in everything. and it’s another activity the two of you have to be close and lovey-dovey with each other
when you surprise her with a dress you made for her birthday, she’s overjoyed. she LOVES it so much. it’s immediately her favorite dress.
every time she wears it, she unconsciously finds herself hugging the fabric because it’s like you embracing her
robin is the best person to talk to when you’re feeling frustrated. she completely gets it and lets you let it all out. she is listening to every word you are saying and gives back detailed responses that often help
if you’re feeling unmotivated and just down overall, robin knows that it is ultimately up to you. but she’ll try to give you that extra push you may need
she’ll help you set up goals, show you that she appreciates you, gives you challenges, and celebrates the goals you do accomplish even if it is just one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he doesn’t get it at all, at least at first. he knows people have hobbies, he has a few of his own. he didn’t quite understand yours
that was until he got into a really rough battle and his green haramaki took a lot of damage. there was no saving it. he’s had it for years at this point, it’s kind of become like a piece of who is he.
of course, he didn’t say that out loud. he brushed it off and said he would buy another one when they docked on the next island. but alas you had other plans
just before one of his training sessions, you surprise him with a handmade haramaki that looked just like his last one. like he usually does, he keeps his words to a minimum but that look in his eye told you everything you needed to hear
the best way to describe it was pure love and admiration. it continues to show when he actually puts it on and he’ll randomly touch it and smile because he’s thinking of you
from then on, he totally gets it and loves watching you work. seeing you so concentrated is cute. you’ll catch him staring at you, and he has no shame about it
he loves you so much
when you’re frustrated and annoyed that you can’t seem to get a design right, zoro’s sounds very harsh and is not at all what you want to hear right now. but he does mean well. and you understand what he’s saying
since he doesn’t know much about fashion, he’ll give his advice in his own terms. which makes it sound like a battle to the death lol. you’ll probably end up laughing and feel somewhat better
if motivation was a person, it would be zoro. he is the definition of ‘don’t stop till you reach the top’. his advice to you is to start from the very beginning, why you love fashion, and to go from there. it may not make much sense at the start but once you start to relive it, it becomes clear

More Aphrodite hcs!
for @peggy-sue-reads-a-book. I really meant to post this last night and forgot I’m sorryyy
Huge supporter of sex work/ers. If she hears anyone bashing it, she puts them in their place quickly.
She wishes she could get into coffee because it’s trendy, but she just can’t. Her Starbucks order is usually a Frappuccino or a refresher. She loves hot chocolate, though! Especially with marshmallows :)
Has an Instagram account that is aesthetic asf, and it’s pretty much just pictures of her being hot and being on vacation. She has like 200 million followers and counting on there. All her demigod kids follow her and turn on post notifications to avoid getting the dreaded text of “like my selfie or you’re grounded for a week”
One of her worst habits it biting her fingernails, so she has her nails done pretty much all the time. The gods didn’t know about this habit until Hermes caught her doing once out of boredom by mistake.
Is very big on self-care, and not just for herself. She makes all the Olympians & her friends personalized sugar scrubs and face masks. She convinced some of them to try yoga. If they visit her, she reminds them to use some hand lotion that seems to be everywhere in her home.
You better pray she’s in a good mood when it’s her turn to play music via the aux chord because she listens to mainly pop music or sad songs. She has a 70 hour heartbreak playlist that is the most tear-jerking, gut-wrenching thing to listen to.
Huge fan of astrology, and since the gods didn’t keep track of what day they were born on — birthdays kind of become unnecessary when you live forever — she assigned them all birthdays based on what she sign she claimed they were. Nobody really cared that she did that and just went with it.
Hates fast fashion with her whole self, and while she’s has the money to buy expensive sustainable clothes, she knows others don’t, so when she’s done with a dress or shirt or whatever, she’ll donate it so some lucky thrifter can have it.
Can become a complete pest when she’s bored. The questions are constant. “Can I come with you? I promise I can help,” she’ll asks Hermes as he runs messages. “Will you make me a bunch of drinks and I’ll tell you which one I like the most?” to Dionysus, “What’s your book about?” to Athena who’s trying to read, “Whatcha makin’? And can you make me one?” to Hephaestus. Even Ares gets annoyed with her sometimes.
Demolishes the competition at Just Dance. She’s a natural at it and doesn’t mind working up a sweat in front of her peers if it means she’s doing good. “How does she have this much energy???” pants Apollo as he tries to keep up with a vigorously moving Aphrodite who’s going so hard at Bad Romance Extreme.
One day she got real tired and fed up with being called “dumb” even as a joke, so she told Athena to make a long and challenging, unbiased test covering a myriad of random trivia facts and school subject questions. Then she said only the gods who could do better than her could call her dumb. She studied really hard, and several deities had to shut up and sit down afterwards.
Sometimes she wears men’s cologne instead of perfume. She says it’s really fun to try something different and see who’s brave enough to comment on it, and that gendered scents should be worn by whoever wants to wear them.
Even after thousands of years being alive, she can’t pick up on subtle sarcasm very well. She finds it to be crueler at times than outright meanness, and she’ll get sad and quiet if she realizes people are mocking her. She’s sensitive like that.
She has a flower crown of roses that never dies, and she’ll wear it when she’s in a very romantic and happy mood. It somehow magically looks amazing with any outfit she wears.
Part I here

A little clearer II
A/N: I had a request to turn this into a mini series so here is part 2! Enjoy!
Warnings: swearing, drinking, drugs
Tumblr media
6 months later
From that first night together, you were hooked. Colson and you became completely inseparable. Every moment of every day, you thought about him. You found every day tasks hard to focus on because all your mind wanted to do was think about him. Think about his piercing blue eyes, his full pink lips, his bright smile, the sound of his melodic laugh. Then your mind would wander to the feeling of him. The warmth of his body as you nestled against him. The way he always smelt of a mixture of cologne, mint and weed. The way his long arms wrap around your body and make you feel so safe. Listening to him talk about his interests, about his music, about Cassie. You could sit for hours and just listen to the sound of his deep voice, filling your ears.  
“Hello, earth to Y/N?” Sophie waves her hand in front of your eyes and you’re immediately snapped back to the world around you. You’re sitting in a cafe, listening to Sophie talk about a party she’s hosting.
“Sorry, I promise I was listening,” you blush and avoid her eyes. You’ve never been the best liar.
“Ok, repeat back everything I just said?” you sip on your coffee to avoid her question and she bursts out in fits of laughter. “I’m totally kidding but the look on your face was fucking hilarious! What I said was, I've told everyone to come around 9 but I know Kellz will be in the studio until at least 10 so if you want to come earlier and help me set up, that’s cool.”
You try to ignore the fact that you’re annoyed that she seems to know Kellz schedule better than you these days but it does prick up a red flag in the back of your mind. You spent all over yesterday with him and he didn’t once mention going to the studio today or that he was even working or anything new. You don’t want to become that girlfriend that feels the need to know where her boyfriend is every hour of every day but you feel like that should’ve been something he’d mention considering you live together and you’d assumed you were going to the party together. He was still in bed asleep this morning when you left for your girl’s day with Sophie, so it wasn’t like you’d expected him to be going anywhere.
“What’s to set up? You put a bong in one corner, alcohol in the other, play music through your sound system and make sure your bed has fresh sheets for the freaks?”
“Don’t even joke about that! My bed is my sanctuary and my party is a cocktail party so there will definitely be no bong corner, especially after what happened last time.”
***********
After a quick phone call with Colson, where he confirms that he will be in the studio all day, you decide to take Sophie up on her offer and head over to her place around 4pm. At the cafe, she talked you into letting her do your hair, makeup and pick your outfit from something in her closet because according to her, flannel shirts are ‘not proper cocktail attire!’ You shrugged it off because you knew she was only trying to help but it wasn’t like you were looking to impress anyone. You had already found someone that you would happily spend the rest of your life with so why bother putting in so much effort for a bunch of strangers?
Ashleigh showed up no long after you and between the two of them, your head was spinning. It may have also been from the excessive use of hairspray, setting sprays and perfume but the constant yanking from one to the other was full on. Sophie wanted to start your hair first, Ashleigh wanted to start your makeup, Sophie wanted you to pick an outfit, Ashleigh didn’t like any of the outfits picked out. By the third outfit change, you were overheated, dehydrated and completely done.
“Ok, seriously you two, cut it out! I’m done. I want to pick my own clothes, I want to do my makeup my own way and my hair is fucking fine in a ponytail!”
“Sorry honey, we just got a little carried away playing dress ups we kind of forgot you’re an actual human being,” Ashleigh apologises, handing you a cold bottle of water. You gulp down half of it in one go and the room finally stops spinning.
“What do you want to wear?” Sophie asks, holding up a couple of dresses you hadn’t noticed before.
They’re all vastly different styles but somehow all similar in their classiness. The first one that catches your eye is a red, spaghetti strap, silk maxi dress, that’s tight in the bodice and then flares out as it trails down. You actually think you might love it until you notice the slit on the left side. You don’t really like the idea of a slit that leads halfway up your thigh so you shake your head. Sophie tosses it aside and holds up a black sparkly dress. This one is short but has long sleeves. It’s tight fitted without trying too hard but you’re slightly put off by the deep V of the neckline. You look down at your chest and realise you’d probably have to go braless, which would be fine until you had a couple of drinks and were less self-conscious of your boobs falling out. Sophie can immediately tell by your face that the answer would be no and she tosses the dress. She’s left holding the last dress and you fall in love instantly. The dress is a white lace, off the shoulders with a love heart neckline and would sit just above your knees. Pattern of the lace is like tiny roses and you melt at the delicacy of the dress.
“That one,” you utter, your face instantly lighting up.
Within seconds you’re pulling the dress on while Ashleigh grabs the perfect pair of nude heels to go with the dress. Sophie fixes your makeup and gives you a pink nude lipstick to apply to your lips, to match your shoes. You check yourself in the mirror while Sophie and Ashleigh wolf whistle behind you. You blush and shrug them off as you sit on the bed and watch them finish getting themselves ready. You pour yourself a glass of champagne from the bottle that Sophie bought up and sip it while Ashleigh and Sophie fight over the hair straightener. After what feels like forever, they’re finally both ready. For some weird reason, they insist that you walk ahead of them, even though it’s Sophie’s party. 
As you walk down the hallway towards the stairs, the sound of hushed voices can be heard and you find it weird that there’s only soft classical music playing in the background. As you reach the balcony of the stairs you stop dead in your tracks. Standing there, surrounded by vase after vase of pink roses and candles, is Colson in a crisp black tux, a huge grin plastered on his face. His usual mess of hair is slicked back and styled away from his face, a single strand falling back over his forehead. As you get closer to him, you look over the landing and realise there’s a large crowd gathered below. A mixture of your friends and family, even your mum and dad, are staring up with matching smiles. You look at your mum and notice the few pin pricks of tears in her eyes and your stomach immediately drops. Colson reaches his hand for you and you take it. He draws you closer so his lips can reach your ear.
“I knew you’d pick the white dress,” he whispers in your ear and a chill runs down your spine. 
Before you realise what he’s doing, he’s down on his knee in front of you, your left hand wrapped in his, as he looks up at you. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small black box and flicks it open with his long, slender fingers.
“Baby, I have loved you from the time I met you and I know we’ve only been together for a little while, I know that I will never love anyone the way I love you. So, Y/N, will you do me the honour of becoming mine forever?”
Every word in the English language has completely escaped you in this moment. You stare between him, the massive diamond ring and the crowd of people below and all you can muster in this moment, is a stunned nod of your head. Everyone below erupts into cheers and applause and Colson stands to kiss you, placing the ring on your finger. The feel of his lips on yours wakes you from your confused fog and it suddenly hits you like a train. You just got engaged. You kiss Colson as intensely as you can, knowing that you’re in full view of your parents, and when you pull away a huge grin spreads across your face.
“So, at the studio all day huh?” you smile knowingly at him. He chuckles and pulls you against him, kissing your hair.
“I had to beg Soph to take you out because I knew if I spent longer than 10 minutes with you, I’d give something away,” he explains as he leads you down the stairs to your family.
***********
You feel like you’ve hugged 1000 people tonight as you collapse onto the couch beside Rook. You feel exhausted yet giddy at the same time and you can’t keep up with your own emotions. Your phone vibrates in your hand again and you wince at the idea of looking at your social media again. You already know that multiple guests and Sophie posted that you and Colson were engaged and your phone hasn’t stopped since. You kick your heels off and rest your feet on the coffee table. You don’t think your feet have ever ached this much. A few more guests drunkenly stumble past, the last of the crowd to leave, heading for the door with a wave and you let out a sigh. 
After your mum and dad hugged you and cried for what felt like an hour, you were essentially passed around the room like a bag of chips. Each person wishing you well and gushing over Colson’s romantic surprise. A few even joked that maybe he should plan the wedding considering how well he planned the evening. You laughed along with them even in your mind you were thinking over my dead body. 
“Long night kid?” Rook mumbles beside you, slinging an arm over your shoulders.
“You could say it’s been the most amazing and overwhelming night of my life,” you chuckle as you lean into him.
You know he’s been planning this since the week after you two go together,” Rook confesses and offers you a sip of his whiskey. You take it, the familiar burn hitting the back of your throat.
“I highly doubt that Rookie,” you laugh him off but the look of seriousness on his face shuts you up fairly quickly.
“I’m being serious. You called me and demanded I come over urgently and when I got there he had brochures full of diamond rings and he looked me dead in the eye and said ‘I’m gonna marry that woman’. He organised Sophie to take you out to get your nails done and a facial. I suggested a different type of facial and got my ass handed to me,” you snort and Rook grins at you before continuing. “He begged Ashleigh and Sophie to keep you occupied while he got everything set up, which they didn’t want to do because they knew what a pain in the ass you’d be about getting dressed up.” you punch him in the stomach and he laughs. “Seriously though, he wanted the whole thing to be perfect because he wanted you to know just how much he loves you.”
You contemplate all this information as you think about how much more you’ve fallen in love with Colson. You always thought he was the impulsive type. The kind of guy to never really think things all the way through. His spontaneity is one of the many reasons you fell for him. You could go to his house and walk in to find many different scenarios. A full house water balloon fight, staircase tobogganing, strip pool or, your personal favourite, blind-folded chasey. The thought of Colson sitting down and planning every little aspect of his proposal makes your heart swell and you have the sudden urge to be with him.
You stand up from the couch, the dull ache in your feet causing you to wince slightly, and you pad around the house in search of your prince charming. You walk around the entire area of the ground floor of the house, even poking your head into the powder room, but Colson is nowhere to be found. You slip out into the backyard and hear the familiar sound of his voice in the darkness. As you’re about to call out to him, you catch the end of his sentence.
“Honey, I know you still love me but I’ve moved on,” he whispers and you realise he’s talking on the phone. “Yes, I think about you from time to time but it will never be the same as it was before. I have to move on and try to be happy. No, don’t cry baby.”
Your heart drops and your blood runs cold as you realise he’s talking to his ex. You feel your surroundings begin to spin and like your chest may cave in. You slink back into the house as you try to catch your breath but you just can’t seem to get any air in. You stumble through the kitchen but you don’t make it past the island bench before you sink to the floor. Your eyes are blurred from your tears but you can feel the hands of people reaching out to you. You hear the overlapping of concerned voices as your friends try and work out what’s wrong. You can’t form a sentence as you still struggle to take in a deep enough breath.
“What the fuck are you all doing huddled on the floor?” you hear Colson’s voice break through the fog and suddenly you're filled with white, hot anger.
“You mother fucking asshole!” you roar, jumping to your feet so you can be in his face. Well, as much in his face as you can be given that he’s a good head taller than you. “How could you?”
“Baby, what’s wrong, why are you crying?” Colson’s voice is full of concern as he takes in your distraught features and hostile tone.
“Don’t you dare call me the same name you call her!” realisation dawns on Colson’s face and he immediately backs away from you, shaking his head. “What, you call us both that so you don’t accidentally call us by the wrong name?” he doesn’t say anything, he just continues to shake his head. “Fucking cat go your tongue Baker?”
“You weren’t supposed to hear that,” he mutters, avoiding eye contact with everyone in the room.
“No fucking shit I wasn’t meant to hear. How long have you been seeing her huh? Sneaking around with her behind my back while I fell in love with you!? What were your words ‘I think about you from time to time but I have to move on and try to be happy’. So clearly I was delusional when I thought the last 6 months were the happiest of both of our lives!” you turn to walk away from him, sick to your stomach at the sight of his face but he grabs your arm to stop you.
“Wait, let me explain! I just tell her that shit to make her feel better. I don’t mean any of it. She’s only ever called me twice the whole time we’ve been together and I just tell her what she wants to hear so she’ll leave me the fuck alone. The last time I told her I was happy, she called me relentlessly for months until I told her what she wanted to hear. Tell her please Rook.” Colson turns to Rook with begging eyes and Rook nods his head.
“She hates the idea that he can be without her so she hounds him but he’s only spoken to her one other time and that was when you two went public. As soon as Kellz says ‘I’ll try to be happy’ she backs off and leaves him alone,” Rook explains with such a deep honesty in his eyes that you feel your anger dissipating. “Honestly, the woman needs some serious fucking help.” everyone else nods their head in agreement and you realise that you really can’t imagine Colson wanting to go back to her or having a secret relationship behind your back.
“I want you to call her right now and tell her the truth,” you look back at Colson and he pulls away from you. “No more lying to her, no more making her think that you’re not in love and that you’re not happy. Tell her the truth and tell her to fuck off or I’m done.”
Colson immediately pulls his phone out and dials her number. He tells her everything. That he’s been lying to her, that he’s in love with you and has been since the moment he met you, that he’s marrying you because he can’t imagine his life with anyone else and that he wants absolutely nothing to do with her. You hear screaming and crying on the other end of the line  and a few ‘bitch’ which you assume is directed towards you but Colson’s resolve doesn’t waver once. He tells her he wishes her a good life and hangs up the phone before she can say another word. Everyone kind of stares at you, waiting for you to do something before anyone else speaks. 
You think for a few seconds before turning and heading towards the front door. Everyone parts like the red sea to let you pass and you grab your original shoes from the front door before heading out into the warm night. You can hear Colson calling your name but you don’t stop walking to your car. Eventually his long strides overpower your own and he’s in front of you, blocking your path.
“Will you just stop for a second and talk to me goddammit!” he screams in your face and you step away from him. He reeks of alcohol and weed.
“I don’t have anything else to say to you,” you tell him calmly and cross your arms over your chest. 
“Please baby, you know I prefer yelling to the silent treatment. The silent treatment drives me insane and you know it,” he begs and your anger begins to rise again but you take a deep breath to push it back down.
“Do you know what I prefer baby,” you spit at him and he flinches away from you. “I prefer when my boyfriend is honest with me. I prefer when he acts like a fucking adult and has a rational conversation with me about his ex. You know what drives me insane? Lies! Feeling like everyone is in on something that I’m completely oblivious about. The fact that Rook knew about your little phone conversations drives me so fucking insane I may actually have a full on meltdown. So please, don’t try and get sympathy from me right now about your needs and wants because frankly my dear, I couldn’t give a rat’s furry ass.” and with that, you push past him and climb into your car, driving away into the night.

have any headcanons for if y/n tried to escape the hotel , also headcanons for what do they do around the hotel on a daily basis? so they all just watch y/b do whatever she does and thirst after her like at the pool ( i love ur writing)
So, how I picture it going if you tried to leave the hotel is that as soon as you stepped through the doors to leave, you'd immediately loop back inside, as if you were stepping into the lobby again (if you ended up getting that far that is lol)
Usually one, if not all of the guys will stop you from escaping simply by appearing in front of you or blocking your path
It is amusing, though, to see your face after the first few times you try and run out the doors only to run straight back into the lobby (Essentially like a looping entrance, like in American Horror Story when Violet tries to leave the house only to run straight back through the back door after stepping foot outside the front door)
You're in their domain now where they control reality, so you can really only 'leave' if and when they say so, or if they decide to take you out someplace
On the plus side, the Hotel has turned into more of a giant mansion with a bunch of different activity rooms to keep you entertained
They've got a full ass library and they stock it with all your favourite books, with new ones appearing when they need them
There's also a cinema room, a game room, and an arcade
You're bored and want interaction with something or someone? Oh, well, surprise, there's a room full of puppies to cuddle with or a cat café style room that's just appeared
You want a room full of pillows to just sink into and relax? It's yours, all you have to do is ask! (Or simply think about it and they'd surprise you with it)
Leads to some very interesting conversations mainly surrounding you saying 'stop reading my mind' while trying not to be mildly impressed by both their powers and their audacity
Should you be thankful? It's hard not to be, even if only slightly. They do take good care of you
On that note, if you do need to go out and actually get some human interaction, they are willing to take you out on some conditions
One: the moment you even think of mentioning your situation to another person they're transporting you right back to their domain, not that anyone would believe you
Two: no flirting with other people, even just to piss them off. You've learned the hard way what their jealousy can entail, and even if they would never lay a hand on you, that doesn't mean other people aren't fair game. They are demonic entities, after all
Three: if you try and run or escape, they will immediately find you and drag your ass back to their domain, threats about them reconsidering letting you back into the real world at all if you misbehave
Four: you have to let them spoil you if they so desire. You show a hint of even liking something, it's yours. Oh, that necklace that caught your eye, even if only briefly? They're fighting over who gets to gift it to you. You look at a display for some giant oversized stuffed animal for a little too long? Cue one of them walking around the area you're in with it in their arms now.
They go a bit overboard at first with the extravagance of their purchases and gifts, but if you really didn't want them to then they'd tone it down. Especially if that wasn't the way to your heart
Oh yeah, and each of them usually does something in particular for you, like San cooks (though the others try at times, and yes, Mingi did almost succeed at burning down the kitchen again, but it's the thought that counts, right?), Seonghwa usually helps with your clothes and/or outfits if you need it, though he's usually the one gifting you different garments to wear, Hongjoong offers to do your makeup and/or hair (if that's the case) a lot, Jongho will always listen to you rant about books or something (maybe even just sit and read with you), Mingi makes you any type of drink that you want and will drink with you if you so desire (he'll mainly just sit with you anyways to keep you company), Yunho always tries to cheer you up and make you laugh if he can (it's worked more often than not and he couldn't be happier), Wooyoung will play games with you (anything you want, and he's still impressed you beat him at eight ball, and Mario kart), and Yeosang literally will bend over backwards to get you anything and everything you need (You want ice cream in the middle of the night, he's already there with your favourite flavour and a spoon before the others can even react. You need a prescription refilled or something, he's got you covered. If you get periods, he's on top of if you need new pads or something)
If you ever get curious about them or their lives, they're more than happy to share any and every detail with you - they're just happy you're asking about them and wanting to get to know them better
Also leads to some pretty deep conversations when you are willing to talk to them - they're all really intelligent so your conversations are really stimulating, and can get pretty lengthy at times when you do talk to them
Of course, they're not always around at the same since they are demons - they do have jobs and they do need to feed on something other than human food once in awhile...

KIN LIST?????????????????????????????????????
AHHHHHH SON!!! THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!! 😩❤️ I’LL GIVE YOU EVERY TYPE OF RAMEN DISH THAT YOU WANT. Also, KIN LIST??? MINE??? 😳
Hmmm… Well, I do have a few in mind, so here’s my Kin List:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mary Kim: I resonate w/ her HEAVILY because her attitude, her behavior, and even the way she interacts with people (esp with Vin Jin) is literally me irl. If I’m close to ANYONE (guy/girl) irl, I’d usually be the type to tease a lot and be the “big sister” in the friend group who usually supports. And I’d be the type to throw hands if necessary, but would never initiate for no reason. Also, her FASION SENSE TOO??? I KIN. DEF KIN. Omg you guys have no idea how similar I dress like her sometimes. It’s insane. 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zack Lee: I feel like his humor and mine, are similar. I just… have a feeing. Imagine, Zack reacting to a bunch of memes (probably dank, dark, and offensive memes) on his phone and he pulls out some Vine references out of nowhere. And I STG, our taste in music would be similar. Zack would definitely listen to rap music like Kanye, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar, etc. Even the way he dresses (usually in streetwear) is one of the clothing styles I mainly go with whenever I dress up to go outside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Johan Seong: Typically, the way he dresses is my MAIN go-to. Mostly, BLACK CLOTHING. Like bro… Majority of my clothes consists of 95% black clothes and 5% any other color. I’m not kidding. Plus, I can imagine me and Johan just chilling and walking out in the street, and some old ladies would ask us if someone died because we’re both wearing black clothing, which is just… our usual outfit. 🧍🏽‍♀️ Also, the way he deals with people who piss him off or is annoyed by them like he doesn’t give a fuck, is such a big personality trait that I kin with. When he doesn’t like someone, then he’d REALLY show that he doesn’t like them. Same goes for me irl too. I like how he doesn’t fake his attitude towards people as well, and he’d come for them like no one’s going to stop him. I fuck with that. 🤝🏽🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lua Im: Lua got a bit of fight in her too, but I like how she isn’t really the type of person to fight in the first place. Similar to Mary’s explanation, she wouldn’t resort to fighting unless she has a good reason to. I also like her personality, and how she involuntarily handles things funny and does some “dorky” things when stressed (because honestly, me too girl). I’d panic and I’d say or do the dumbest shit ever and I’d just embarrass myself even more to the point that I want to die. 💀 In addition to how I kin with Lua through her actions and personality, I really mess with her sense of fashion too. Yeah, I know she rocking the Stüssy top and that one simple style with the hoodie and the jacket over it, because I’d wear those irl. Not joking. She’d def vibe w/ streetwear too, as if she’s the female version of Zack Lee.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vasco/Euntae Lee: Vasco’s cheerful goofiness from the older chapters is something that I can relate to. Especially when I’m out with friends, I usually act like a fool whenever I’m with them. And tbh, before I even started to simp for Gun, Vasco was my comfort character LMAO. Because he was such a cute Cinnamon Roll back then, and now? What happened…? 😭 I even see Vasco as the “fun older brother” too. Man, if he was my older brother, I’d def want to ask if I can hang out with the Burn Knuckles Crew until it’s time to go home because they’re all so fun and lively!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daniel Park: Even though Daniel is attractive (even in those recent chapters 👀) I view him to be the “brotherly type” who'd protect anyone. That’s the type of vibe I get from Daniel. (To be honest, between Daniel and Vasco, I think they'd be the best "big brothers" ever.) Or, just a male/guy best-friend who you can always depend on and talk to whenever you want to rant/vent about something. I kin with him because I always have the urge to help out people who are having a hard time, and I usually offer to listen to friends’ issues irl because I’m aware that we all need someone to talk. If no one’s there for them, then I don’t mind being someone’s shoulder to lean on. In addition to his kind-heartedness, I relate to Daniel because of the whole “bullying” thing. Back then when I was in elementary school, there was a girl that used to bully me by poking me, flicking me, etc. And she’d even turn people against me so I wouldn’t be able to hang out with certain people (but eventually I became friends with her and we settled our differences ig). I even asked her what was the reason why she bullied me back then and she said it was because of the way that I used to look and the clothes that I wore, which made me look “dorky”. 😀 Sooooo, that’s why I kin with Daniel strongly too LMFAAAOOOO 😌✨

Had
Quite
The day.
I, got crossfaded so hard the night before I woke up still high. Then once I finally got up, I started to do my laundry by getting everything together. Only to be interrupted by my friend asking me to go to a pop up cafe themed around Ouran High School Host Club of all things. Which I have never seen, but I am vaguely aware of. I agreed to go with my friend, and that made me decide to switch my plans. So I shelved the laundry in lieu of much needed clothes shopping. I walked down to a nearby outdoor mall and started with shoes, which went like shite because no one carries my size in stores. So I gave that up in about 30 minutes. I was debating going to a plus sized women's clothing store. Since I live in Texas and still go stealth most of the time I was anxious. Yet I wandered in anyways. I was really determined to buy something, I've been in this store before but only when older women were working. So I always went in with the lie ready that I was shopping for my conveniently me sized gf and just bought small stuff like underwear. This time however I was immediately clocked by an enby who could probably read the panic in my soul through my eyes. In comes the next 2 hours of this lovely person having me try on everything they could find in my size. I was sweating, practically fainted, forgot to bring water. It was a grueling experience, but in the end I found an outfit and made it out right on cue to meet my friend for the event. We went and had some delicious drinks, his treat. Also a little cake they were selling as part of the event. After all that we came back to my place and I finally could relax. We hung out the rest of the night. I cooked some amazing teriyaki chicken meatballs for us. We hung out, listened to a bunch of our favorite music, planned a new DND character for me. I have not had such a spontaneous 24 hours in years. The entire day just kind of happened, it was great. I'm now so tired I'm probably going to bed soon after I post this.
Before that though I'm going to post these cute ass pictures I took of course. If you read all the way through that and didn't just skip to here you're a champ.

New Start GO! 🌸 Anniversary 5
Tumblr media
The second day. New marketing plan meeting
Nazuna: Thank you very much to everyone for attending this meeting.
Today we’re discussing a brand new marketing plan called ‘Harenohi Live’.
Hajime: Our proposal for ‘Harenohi Live’ involves a company promotional event jointly launched with Ra*bits - who participated in the ‘New Start GO!’ work experience.
Tomoya: The highlight of this plan is the outfit for the Live-
Here’s a draft that we designed.
As we’re ushering in the start of a new life, we’ll wear beautiful clothes that match this ‘anniversary’ to help leave a strong impression of the company on the audience.
Our reason for choosing kimono as the main theme is because this company was originally a kimono company. You can’t not mention it when talking about this company’s history.
Mitsuru: We looked at a bunch of materials, including the company's development, and then came up with this idea… ah that’s not right, I mean came up with this theme!
Well, I’ll leave the budget and advertising required to make all this happen to Mr. New Guy!
Tumblr media
Hajime: (…… Hm, Mr. New Guy is presenting the data smoothly.)
(I was a little worried he would lose confidence during the actual meeting, but it looks like he’s doing fine.)
(This is great, he’s taking a step forward with no problem.)
(We’ve also fallen down, again and again.)
(But the reason we’re able to stand back up is because our friends reach out their hands to us each time.)
(….. From your perspective, would you say I’ve become that kind of presence for you?)
(Always by your side cheering you on, whenever you’re happy, sad, or hurt-)
(That’s the kind of idol I’ll become.)
Nazuna: ….. That was the complete ‘Harenohi Live’ marketing plan.
Well, next up we’ll be taking questions - if anyone has questions please raise your hand.
“We only just came here to do a work experience, how do we know so much about the company’s history’….?
About this question… I’ll let Hajime-chin answer.
Hajime: Sure. Ra*bits always regards the client of the work we do with the utmost respect.
So, preparation is indispensible. We’ll read the material sent in advance over and over again.
And, if we have time, we also make full preparation by researching online or going to the library.
….. Though that sounds impressive, we’ve recently been very busy and sometimes don't really have time - resulting in insufficient preparation.
However, ‘New Start GO!’ was specially created by people who knew of our active participation in variety shows.
So of course we were able to do our research on the collaboration - that is, on the company♪
Tomoya: Hajime actually loves to learn, so we’ve picked up on a lot things thanks to his guidance. I hope the fruits of our efforts are felt in this presentation.
What? You’re asking "if we hold a Live, will there be an invitation quota?"…..
Tumblr media
Mitsuru: Of course we’ll invite everyone here!
I hope we can shine even brighter for more people. That’s why I became an idol!
….. Ah, I accidentally forgot to speak politely! Sorry!
Nazuna: Ahaha, everyone here knows Mitsuru-chin, so no one will be surprised if you don’t speak respectfully.
It just means you have that sort of affinity, but you still shouldn’t totally relax you know~?
…. Well, we went a little off topic just now. There’s enough time to answer one more question.
Does anyone have any other questions?
…… If there’s no further questions, then our presentation ends here.
Alright. Please continue to cooperate with us for the follow-up discussion of the plan.
Hajime: Thank you very much for listening to our presentation.
Tomoya and Mitsuru: Thank you!
Tumblr media
Nazuna: Jeez, this week flew by in the blink of an eye.
Our work experience ends today…. And after the next few days, after asking for the results of our presentation, ‘New Start GO!’ will officially end.
You’ve worked hard, everyone.
Mitsuru: Good job everyone!
At the start I thought wearing suits was inconvenient, but thinking that starting tomorrow we don’t need to wear them anymore, I actually feel like it’s kind of a shame~
Nazuna: I agree. It was a short time, but I’m reluctant to say goodbye.
Mr. President said "Your work was a breath of fresh air to the company, and also brought out the strengths of the new employee." He even expressed his gratitude to us.
As clumsy as I am, I managed to do some good I guess?
Tomoya: Noooo. We were lucky to have Nii~chan leading the presentation. At the time, I was thinking that Nii~chan was really good at public speaking. Just listening to your speech made the uneasiness in our hearts disappear. You are reliable.
Nazuna: Ahaha, it seems that my training for the broadcasting committee came in handy huh?
In the end, it’s all thanks to our experiences so far. The efforts we’ve made came into play in various fields.
Yours too, Hajime-chin. Before we accepted this job, you said we would definitely gain something from doing ‘New Start GO!’ From our time working in the company, did you gain some valuable experiences in your opinion?
Tumblr media
Hajime: Eh? Ah, Nii~chan was asking me? Sorry, I was a little absorbed in my feelings…
……… ♪
Nazuna: Ahaha, is that right? Well it seems like there was no need to ask. I can tell what you’re feeling just from your expression.
That’s great, Hajime-chin. You worked hard this week.
Hajime: Mhm! You too, Nii~chan ♪

Boys Planet, Episode 8: The First Hour
Tumblr media
Hello, friends! So, as you might recall, the first hour or so of episode 8 is devoted to going through the preparation that the various teams made for the third challenge mission, knowing that only half of them would actually be able to perform it. I didn’t recap it at the time because I was more interested in covering the eliminations, but I’ll be covering it here in this post! 
Please note that it’ll be hard for me to talk about these groups without sometimes acknowledging who does and who doesn’t survive the elimination from the second half of this episode. If you’re spoiler averse, you may want to wait until you’ve seen the rest of the episode to read this part. For what it's worth, I don’t feel like I’ll be saying anything that you wouldn’t have more or less guessed. 
Here we go!
We start at 5:45 in to the episode. The boys are gathered in a large room, still wearing their outfits from the second challenge mission. They’re there to be assigned to one of the five “artist” songs that were revealed in episode 6. (The link takes you to the mini demos, and is spoiler free.) I find it difficult to describe what the songs sound like, especially since we can’t hear the whole songs and the genres the show uses to describe them are kinda weird (“oriental pop”? “Sentimental hiphop”???). So you can listen for yourself. 
As was the case for all Produce/Planet shows before this, the trainees were matched to songs based on audience vote. The Star Creators were given like, 24 hours to vote on this, which means that for the most part, only Koreans really had a chance to do it. The idea is supposed to be that the audience would put, say, Cha Woongki in a cute song, and put, say, Kim JiWoong in a sexy song. Also, the trainees appealed to the Star Creators to put them in a particular song. That video is actually a lot of fun -- some of the trainees sing or dance to get your attention, and I feel like it’s the first time I actually heard Ricky just straight up sing. He’s got a really nice voice! Notably, Z-bo speaks some Korean in his video, too, so that’s cool! Anyway, it’s cute to watch, and has subtitles, so give it a look if you’re at all interested. 
Of course, since a bunch of trainees wanted certain songs, and not a lot of people wanted certain other songs, the matchup could never be perfect. I’ll get to all that in a bit! 
In any case, we finally find out that the new Star Master is Key from SHINee. If you don’t know SHINee, check out their songs Sherlock, View, and Replay. If you don’t like any of those then it’s ok, but trust me, SHINee is really well-respected and completely changed K-pop. Before SHINee, no one danced while singing the way that SHINee did. If there had never been a SHINee, there would not have been a BTS, not the way that you know them. So, even if you don’t like their music, you should know who they are. (Oh, and side note, if you watched Run for The Money on Netflix, that featured Minho, who is also from SHINee.)
The SHINee boys are also sentimental faves of mine. SHINee and f(x) were the two groups who really got me into Kpop, and if you know much about kpop, you know that those two groups have something really awful in common and I don’t want to talk about it, but let me just remind us all to be kind to kpop celebrities, ok? Because we don’t want stuff like that happening again. 
Anyway, SHINee debuted in 2008, when Key was just 17 (and dance machine Taemin was just 14). They were HUGE -- they were absolute sensations. Their clothing set fashion trends, and their songs were all massive hits. The members have gone through a lot, but they’re still kicking. Key is the funniest, most snarky, most honest member, and he’s known for his sense of style as well as his performance abilities. Check out his new song Killer -- it’s got a retro-80s vibe that I really dig and I think a lot of people would like it! 
So yeah, when the trainees react to Key as of a god has walked into the room, they’re not exaggerating for the camera. Key debuted when some of them were still too young to know how to tie their shoes, and he’s fucking COOL.
Tumblr media
His level of fame leaves pretty much every other star master on the show completely in the dust, with the possible exception of Sunmi, who dropped by in episode 3. She's at least maybe kind of on par.
So, yeah, once they manage to rehinge all their jaws, Key gives them the rules of the next mission -- how they’ll all prepare the songs, then find out halfway through who survived and will get to perform them. I love how the trainees are always surprised when the show does exactly what it has done every season since Produce101 season 1. I mean, I know the show has a different name now but it’s still the same show. Six seasons, and you’re shocked? Come on, now. 
Since this is an “artist battle,” let me add in a quick note on the term “artist” in Kpop -- I think I talked about this in another recap but I don’t remember for sure so I’ll risk doing it again. In Korea, it’s understood that idols make idol music, and that artists make, for lack of a better word, “real” music. People like Bibi are understood to be artists, and as such don’t necessarily always dance, or have fan meetings, etc. People like Huta are understood to be idols; they’re praised for their “visuals” (ie, whether or not they have nice faces) and are generally expected to remain single to be a parasocial love object for their fans. They make their money off of brand endorsements as much as concert sales. People like Hui or Jeon Soyeon from G-Idle or G-Dragon from BigBang kind of toe the line between idol and artist, since they write their own songs and manage their own teams, but also happen to be really good looking and usually happy to endorse whatever you have lying around. It’s kind of weird to expect these trainees to be “artists”, but every reality show keeps making things more difficult ever year, even though their contestants aren’t necessarily getting more talented every year. I mean, have you watched the most recent season of Great British Bake Off? What WAS that? But I digress. 
Ok, back to the point. It's an artist battle; they'll be given demo songs and demo choreography, but they're expected to go ahead and change whatever they want and plan the staging and performance.
So the boys listen to the songs and aggressively love them all. My favorite is when they listen to the “oriental pop” song Switch and Seo Won says he feels like he’s abroad. Wut….? I guess to them, “oriental” means India? I also liked when Matthew said, “I don’t want to do sexy concepts” about the sexy song, which like, yes, thank you, Matthew. Figure out what you’re good at, please.  
Then Key tells them that the members of the team that gets ranked first at the Artist Battle will get 200,000 points each, with the “winning” member getting an extra 200,000. That is a substantial benefit, but since it will probably end up going to a mostly top-11 team anyway, it won’t end up mattering. They’ll also end up going on M-Countdown, and, even bigger to them, having a fan meeting. They’re excited about that, and I don’t blame them. 
Oh, I’m having a flashback to that GP999 fan meeting when they were still in the middle of c*vid and all the fans were in their cars in the middle of a field. I’m glad we’re through the worst of that stuff now. I don’t want to go off on a tangent about some of the stuff I experienced living in a huge, hard-hit US city, but it was awful. I bet a lot of us have stories like that, huh? It’ll be one of those things that in five or ten years, when you meet someone for the first time, one of the first things you’ll talk about in the get-to-know-you phase will be “where were you in March of 2020?” Like for the boomers, talking about where they were when they found out that JFK had been shot.
Back to the show. 
So, the boys are finding out which song they got, which means it’s another one of those lengthy “finding out who is in which team” montages, complete with pranks and stuff and it’s not that fascinating…? So I’ll just recap some of the highlights, and then get to the part where they’re actually preparing. 
I-Chan asked for Over Me in that video, but as he was leaving the room the other trainees say he wanted Switch, and that is in fact what he got. 
I really love Park Hyunbeen saying at first that Supercharger didn’t really “suit his taste” (he wanted the cute song, Say My Name, and I agree it would have been a cute performance!) but when he finds out that he got Supercharger after all, he gives a big smile and says that now he’s excited to do that song. Aww, why do I only end up really loving some of these trainees when it’s too late? You’re a cutie pie, Hyunbeen. 
It’s kind of heart breaking to watch Ji Yun Seo and Lee Yedam be so happy to get the song they wanted, knowing what we know. 
THEORY TIME: I think that for the most part, the audience did vote to give trainees what they asked for, and I think that when there were too many trainees for a given song -- “Over Me” and “Say My Name” were very popular -- the producers matched them to songs in order of their rank. Thus, as very few trainees wanted Supercharger, many low-ranked trainees ended up in that song; as Say My Name was heavily requested, it was filled mostly with higher ranked trainees. Just my theory but it seems to explain a lot.
This:
Tumblr media
I think that the reason Anthonny seems a little sad when he joins the Switch team is that he wanted Say My Name. But I think Switch could also have been great for Anthonny. 
The fact that Lee DaEul and both “houses” were put in Supercharger seems to confirm my theory that Supercharger was a dumping ground for unpopular trainees who wanted popular songs. That, or the audience put Lee DaEul in Supercharger to continue to punish him for his sins. 
I love Kum Jun Hyeon saying, “Park Gunwook and I decided to be friends. We became friends.” That’s how it works in my little cousin’s world -- he decides to be friends with someone and then is. Knowing that he’s good friends with Gunwook kind of explains that whole scene in episode 6 when he was trying to get Gunwook kicked out of Tomboy so Gunwook would have to come over to Ggang with him. 
Tumblr media
I know that the show format encourages the pranking and stuff but it’s really not my favorite. 
Everyone’s reaction to Zhang Hao arriving is amazing. Chen Kuan Jui just picking him up and carrying him around is my favorite bit. 
Tumblr media
It’s kind of interesting how Sung Hanbin, Kim JiWoong, and Matthew all wanted to do something “not sexy.” I guess I understand -- most kpop groups do all different concepts, and it’s a valuable skill to be able to pull off a song like Love Me Right and ALSO pull off a song like Love Killa. But still, I just think that Say My Name sounds like every “cute” kpop song thrown into a blender and then put into a “cute song” mold and allowed to solidify there before someone carefully dumped it out onto a plate. I don’t know. I know it’ll get stuck in my head eventually anyway but it’s not like that’s the kind of song I seek out to listen to.
JiWoong says, “I want to perform while smiling.” Do that ANYWAY, JiWoong. If Kai from Exo smiles in the middle of Obsession, you can smile in the middle of Love Killa, JiWoong. 
Ok! Let's talk about each team's preparation.
21:26: En Garde
Here is the En Garde team, with the song that each member wanted, as well as their previous song. I’ve arranged them in order of their Episode 6 rank, which gives you a sense of how likely they are to survive.
Kim Gyu Vin             En Garde                    Love Killa Hui                           En Garde                   Tomboy Park Gunwook         En Garde                    Tomboy Kum Jun Hyeon       En Garde                   Gang Park Hanbin             En Garde                    Law Lee Seung Hwan     Say My Name           Gang Hiroto                        En Garde                    Rush Hour Lee Ye Dam             En Garde                    Law Ji Yun Seo                En Garde                    Home Oh Sung Min            En Garde                    Rush Hour
They have to choose a leader, and Hui is like, WAYYY too invested in being the leader. He wants to work with his “database” and all the know how he’s built up over the years. The editors do him a little dirty, fast forwarding his speech on why he should be leader, and even showing him practicing his speech in the bathroom ahead of time. 
Tumblr media
The first time that I laughed out loud at anything that Kum Jun Hyeon has ever done was right here, when, after Hui finishes his lengthy speech, Kum says to the other trainees that their speeches about why they want to be leader “have to be lengthier than this.” I think it threw Hui off a little bit -- he may have been expecting grateful acceptance of his leadership, or else a challenge from Park Hanbin perhaps, but not someone making fun of his careful speech. 
In any case, naturally, Hui is chosen to be the leader. I’d choose him as the leader too. 
The crew members explain that there will be two people chosen for the killing part and other parts, because there are ten of them for now, despite there being six people in the choreography.  And of course, everyone wants to get the killing part, because as usual that means tons more screen time. Gyuvin, JunHyeon, Yedam, Gunwook, YunSeo, and Sungmin all want it. I actually laughed again as all six of them practice the same bit but at slightly different times. The edit focuses primarily on Gyuvin and Gunwook -- as if the other ones are laughable for wanting it. I think Oh Sungmin actually does a great job -- JunHyeon overdances and looks out of control, and we barely see Yedam or Yunseo. 
Side note: Oh Sungmin looked so much better with his real hair color. Why is he doing this blonde curl thing when he is capable of looking like this?  Oh, and while we’re looking at old T01 fancams, check out this one of Woongki, being all serious and charismatic. I know it’s not his personality but he pulls it off, in my opinion. I guess they just both don’t want to do songs like that anymore. 
In any case, Gunwook turns out to be a lock, and then they choose Gyuvin as well. 
We cut to their trainee self-evaluation, and we see them performing. Honestly, they look great for a midway practice run. I wonder if Hui deputized Park Hanbin to run dance rehearsals? I would, in his shoes. A good leader knows how to delegate!
Gyuvin is nervous to be compared to Gunwook, and when it’s his team’s turn to try, Gyuvin chokes a bit and forgets some of the lyrics. Still, later on when they get the evaluation forms back, many trainees choose Gyuvin as the better choice for the center, saying he suits it better. 
Side note: Look at Gyuvin doing a scaled down version of his hero Exo-Kai’s trademark leaning-back slouch.
Tumblr media
Obviously, Kai has it down to a limbo-esque art, but Gyuvin is working on it!!! 
The team does well overall. It’s great to see some of the trainees perform the song who won’t get to do it on stage -- good job, you guys. And we’re left with the thought that team En Garde is on track to succeed. 
We’ll have to see 
which member they kick out later on, and 
which member gets to keep the Killing Part. 
At 31:00, we switch over to team Say My Name. 
Everyone in this group wanted this song, so I’ll just list the trainees and their previous song to help remind you of who is who, but this group is full of fairly popular trainees and you’ll probably recognize all or most of them.
Sung Hanbin                         Tomboy Han Yu Jin                           Law Seok Matthew                       Love Killa Kim Ji Woong                       Love Killa Kim Tae Rae                          Man in Love Yoo Seung Eon               Home Seo Won                           Love Killa Takuto                           Rush Hour Ollie                                     Zoom Cha Woong Ki                       Feel Special
The team needs to elect a leader, and there’s this ex-cru-ci-a-ting-ly edited bit about Matthew possibly wanting to be leader and then Sung Hanbin volunteering. I cannot describe how irritating it is. The worst part is from about 31:55  to 32:15. I want to burn their editing studio to the floor. 
Tumblr media
So they decide to have Hanbin be the leader, and Kim JiWoong says, “Matthew, I think Hanbin will be good leader,” and Matthew says, “As long as he listens to you.” 
Matthew is doing a lot of that kind of “joking” that people do when they’re not really joking, you know? Ok, so, story time. I’m friends with two people who a couple, and we were all having a board game night, and when one member of the couple went to get another drink, the other one in the couple was like, “Oh, ha ha, he can’t enjoy an evening without drinking too much, ha ha ha ha, guess I better not get a second drink because SOMEONE has to drive home so we don’t end up in a ditch, ha ha ha,” and it was sooooo uncomfortable because she was saying it like it was a joke, but it was NOT a joke. You feel me? That’s the kind of “joking” Matthew is doing. 
That little dig -- “as long as he listens to you” -- manages to imply that (1) any issues JiWoong may have had with Matthew’s leadership stemmed from JiWoong wanting to inappropriately get his own way and (2) that JiWoong’s preference in a leader is rooted in who he thinks will give him his own way rather than in the quality of the leadership and (3) that JiWoong will probably have as much of an issue with Hanbin’s leadership as he did with Matthew’s once Hanbin starts actually giving orders AND (4) that there is no other substantive difference between Hanbin and Matthew’s leadership skills. You see what I mean? There’s a LOT there.
It’s u n c o m f o r t a b l e. 
We don’t see the team choose main vocal -- they must have given it to Yoo Seung Eon -- and instead we go straight to subvocal 1, a substantive part that a lot of people want. One of the people who wants it is TaeRae, who inexplicably is NOT the main vocal, again, what the fuck, everyone. The story editors, though, focus on Matthew wanting sub-vocal-1. He says, “If I don’t get sub-vocal 1, then I’m screwed.” Again, not a good look.
I don’t know if you guys watched I-Land -- the reality show that created Enhypen -- but there was this memorable scene in which a guy named Jay (see what I mean about there being too many Jays in K-pop?) kept trying to get parts. He tried for main vocal, then subvocal 1, then subvocal 2, subvocal 3…. Every time they went to assign another part, he raised his hand. Inside, he was kind of dying as the potential parts got smaller and smaller, but he just kept trying. He ended up with a smallish part in the song, but the audience watching at home fell in love with the way he kept trying. He ended up actually getting into the final lineup for Enhypen.  
Matthew, honey. Listen to BPR-Noona, ok? The audience already knows how well you sing, so you can relax. And truly, there are no small parts, just small players. Why did Sana’s “shy shy shy” take off in Cheer Up by Twice? Just because people liked the way Sana did it. I’m sure it wasn’t designed to be a “killing part.” You don’t need a "killing part" to win, or even a big part. The most important thing for you right now, Matthew, is for you to stop coming across like a greedy rude North American. As a fellow North American, I am telling you, bud. Rope it the fuck in. BPR-Noona has spoken.
In any case, both Matthew and TaeRae get the part, so we’ll have to see what ends up happening!
Then the trainees try out for the Killing Part, and both Ollie and Han Yujin get it. While I actually like both of them, I can’t help but root for Ollie to keep it in the end. He’s almost certainly not going to make the final lineup for Bepler, so I just want him to have this chance to shine on stage. But yeah that’s probably not going to happen -- no team would lower their chance of winning by choosing a trainee who barely survived over a Top9 trainee. 
After that, we focus on Hanbin’s leadership. He starts off by telling them their goal for the day, which just sets my teacher heart on fire in the best way. Goals should always be specific and achievable. Yes, Hanbin, yes. 
Tumblr media
Notice (1) the way that the only two “global” members on the team end up on the edges, just kind of interesting and (2) the way that Matthew positions himself as if he is also a leader -- he’s the only one not looking at Hanbin. Already, I have a bad feeling about this. 
Hanbin manages their expectations expertly, letting them know that the choreo is challenging without presenting it as scary, and then demonstrates the choreo once for them. (I love how Han Yujin immediately begins sort of dancing along as he watches in the mirror-- that kid really is kind of amazing.) Hanbin is a great leader, and Matthew is very, very envious of that. In an interview, when asked what he would rate Hanbin out of 100, he “jokes” that he “can’t give him a 100” and so gives him 90. The editors are still kind of on his side. They’re scoring his “jokes” with plinky-plunky comedy music. 
Hey, hey, uh, Matthew? Matt? Hey. It's me, BPR-Noona again. Um, why? Why can’t you give him 100? Isn’t he your friend? Aren’t you hoping to debut together? Why even joke that you can’t give him 100? What’s that about? Is it because you don’t want to place yourself below him in any way? Could it be that? Because other people who are excellent leaders themselves are letting themselves be led in other groups, and aren’t being “joking” jerks about it, Matt. General Gunwook and Park Hanbin are both really excellent leaders, and they’re following Hui in their current group. I don’t know, Matt, but I don’t think that this is a good look, no matter how plinky-plunky the comedy music is. 
Sigh.
Then there’s a hilarious bit in which Kim JiWoong openly admits that he’s never felt jealous of other trainees before, but he does now a little bit, because they so naturally suit the concept of the song in a way he doesn’t quite. Then he says that normally he just looks at himself in the mirror while he dances and enjoys his time that way. OMG. 
Tumblr media
See, JiWoong can make jealousy seem just fine because he’s honest about it. And just so fucking weird. I love this weirdo. 
Ok, then there’s this long scene that I don’t want to get too bogged down with, but basically, there’s trouble brewing between old friends Sung Hanbin and Seok Matthew.
While Hanbin is off in the bathroom (I assume), Matthew begins “teaching” some of the others the dance -- Takuto, Seo Won, and Ollie. Now, I don’t think it would hurt anything for someone to run through stuff with Takuto one on one, but I’ve never thought of either Seo Won or Ollie as people who need extra guidance when it comes to dancing -- particularly not Ollie, who actually basically taught his own team the dance in the first Challenge Mission. 
It’s pretty interesting how, when Hanbin comes back in, he doesn’t flip out and immediately make them stop. He watches for a bit and thinks before he acts, which, again, is a sign of a great leader. He knows there’s something a little off, but he waits. He’s also polite about it in his interview, saying, “I am grateful that he [Matthew] wants to help, but my style is to have people learn the overall flow and image of the choreo before moving on to the details.” I wholeheartedly agree with that. Again, it’s that thing of how we normally build the frame of the jigsaw puzzle first, right?  Hanbin also seems to say that some of the details might even change, or perhaps that Matthew is teaching them incorrectly --? Either way, Matthew isn’t helping here. 
Then Matthew full on asks Hanbin if he can be “sub-leader,” and though Hanbin doesn’t think it’s a good idea, he says yes. Dude, I think that’s something that maybe you talk about as a team. Like, “Hey, guys, let’s get into one of those awkward semi-circles and let’s talk about whether or not you want Matthew to be the sub-leader of the team.” But I guess Hanbin doesn’t want to devote the time to that, or was worried it would create division or strife, so he just says yes. Ennnhhhh I don’t like it….
We don’t see any footage of the team performing at the trainee self-eval, interestingly enough.
So, we’ll have to watch to find out
which trainees are going to get kicked out of the team (a lot of them!) 
what will happen between JiWoong and Matthew
what will happen between Hanbin and Matthew and
what will happen between Matthew and TaeRae with the subvocal one!
40:14 Over Me 
Here are the trainees, again arranged in order of rank in episode 6 so you have a sense of who is least likely to survive, with their previous song listed to help jog your memory. All these trainees preferred Over Me except for Ma Jing Xiang, who asked the viewers to give him Say My Name. However, I think the audience might have just voted for him to Over Me anyway -- it’s not impossible. 
Zhang Hao                 Tomboy Keita                             Zoom Jay                             Home Ricky                             Rush Hour Yoon Jong Woo     Home Wang Zi Hao                Law Chen Kuan Jui     Butterfly Ma Jing Xiang             Rush Hour Lee Jeong Hyeon     Gang Lim Jun Seo                Butterfly
The team starts off by trying to choose a leader, and it seems that some of them are reluctant to volunteer. Zhang Hao says that everyone should just take a moment to think about whether they want such a big responsibility, and then Yoon Jong Woo steps up. Almost immediately, the whole team says an enthusiastic yes. Jay says that JongWoo has cold eyes like a tiger but behind that he’s a genius. Heh. Everyone’s excited because they think that being on a team with JongWoo will give the team a good vibe.
Almost all of them want the killing part -- everyone but Jay, Lim Jun Seo, and JongWoo himself. 
Tumblr media
We see their auditions and are reminded again how great Keita’s and Hao’s vocals are. In the vote, Keita gets 4 votes and Hao gets 5. It’s noteworthy that Hao is the only one who didn’t vote for Keita or himself -- I think he voted for Ricky, but it might have been Chen Kuan Jui? It’s not clear from where his finger is pointing. But if Hao had voted for Keita, the way that Keita voted for Hao, it would have been a tie. Did Hao purposefully not vote for Keita in order to win? Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. 
Side note: I’m kind of surprised that Keita didn’t volunteer to be leader. This seems right up his ally. But maybe he’s kind of exhausted after working so hard on Zoom. Or maybe he knows that the show will punish his team if he’s the leader. But when he’s not the leader, Keita becomes an excellent teammate instead. Just watch the way that he reacts to EVERYTHING here. He grins broadly at the idea of JongWoo being the leader, and even puts his fist in the air to cheer for the team. He laughs with genuine good humor when almost all the teammates apply for the killing part. Later, he grooves to everyone else’s singing. He’s a fan of every other member of his team. That’s the kind of teammate people want to be around. Just sayin’.
After that, the team moves forward with part distribution, and there’s an uncomfortable moment in which Ma Jing Xiang tries to ask for a section of a part that is in his vocal range. It’s also edited horrifically, with TRIPLE replays of MJX’s incorrect Korean.  Yoon Jong Woo shuts him down extremely thoroughly. Then we also focus on how MJX continues dancing even when Jong Woo calls the team over to circle up. You get the feeling that Jong Woo genuinely dislikes MJX, and it’s a little uncomfortable because all or most of the team feels the same way. 
Tumblr media
Like, Yoon Jong Woo is not fucking around. Not one bit. I get it, because MJX seems like a pretty irritating person to be around sometimes, but it might be a bit… much. 
The other storyline is that Lee Jeong Hyeon (that’s Lee of the Mun and Lee duo) thinks that there’s a spot in the song that he could write a rap for. His teammates support him in that. The next day, they go to the producers and Lee gets to do the rap he wrote in less than a day for them. The editing here gets REALLY annoying for a bit so feel free to skip ahead if you want -- the upshot is the producers say they like it and will consider it, so that seems like a win for Lee! 
So we’ll have to find out:
Which teammates they’re going to kick out
Who will get to keep the Killing Part between Keita and Hao
Whether Lee Jeong Hyeon will get to do his rap
50:01 Switch
Here are the trainees, again arranged in order of rank in episode 6 so you have a sense of who is least likely to survive. A lot of these trainees had bene hoping for a different song, as listed in the second column. I’ve also listed their previous song to help jog your memory. 
Zhang Shuai Bo          Switch               Feel Special Na Kamden                 Switch               Law Cai Jin Xin Switch             Feel Special Anthonny Say My Name Limousine Brian             Say My Name      Butterfly Dang Hong Hai Switch                   Home Wumuti Switch                  Zoom Krystian Switch                  Limousine Jung I Chan Over Me             Not Spring Choi Woo Jin Switch                   Man in Love Lee Dong Gun Over Me             Feel Special
So, this team, as leader Wumuti put it, is “nomu down.” (nomu = very) And with good reason -- their average final rank is 38, and as it happens, only a very small percentage of this team is going to survive. 
Tumblr media
Wumuti is doing his best, but his team knows that most of them aren’t going to make it through the eliminations, and it seems kind of like a waste of time to them to try. The sense I get of the vibe of the song is that they would be good choices even if other people DID want the parts. 
Because no one else wants the killing part, Na Kamden and Wumuti take it. Wumuti is hoping that as they continue, that they’ll “find joy.” 
For some reason, as I was watching this, I found myself thinking, “What would I say as the leader of this team, to get them to try?” And I think what I would have said is this: “Hey team. I know a lot of us are discouraged right now because the reality is that many of us, myself included, may get eliminated soon. But I still really want to try my best preparing for this song. So, let’s brainstorm reasons that we should still try our hardest, despite the circumstances. I’ll get us started by pointing out the cameras that are recording us, right now. Everything we’re doing right now? The Star Creators may see that in an upcoming episode. Some of them are Star Creators who may have voted for us in the past, or might become fans of us in the future, when we’re on a different stage. Don’t we want to do our best, for them?” Then maybe based on the vibe, I’d have us go around and each give our own reason for wanting to try our best, or else just let people say things, or if necessary, give more reasons myself, like  “We want to be kpop performers or we wouldn’t be here -- don’t we want to practice just for the sake of improving?” You have to get a buy-in from the people you’re trying to lead. 
Me saying this isn’t knocking Wumuti. I think he was doing a fantastic job, especially considering his quite low rank. 
Anyway, then the show spends like 3 minutes just shitting on Jung I-Chan, who obviously could work a bit on his focus (I really do wonder if he might have something in the vicinity of ADD?) and who is obviously feeling super defeated. He never has been much of a dancer, so him having trouble with the choreo is probably just too much. At some point, his self-defense mechanisms would kick in and tell him to just give up because it’s safer. I just don’t think the guy is cut out for this stuff, but that doesn’t make him a bad person, MNET. Jeez. He even tells Wumuti, “I want to work hard, but I’m scared to work hard. It’s over.” 
Tumblr media
And the show just HAMMERS on I-chan, even though Lee Donggun is just as “lazy.” It’s like MNET is trying to destroy this kid who obviously has some mental health issues. 
It makes perfect sense that Kamden, Brian, and Dang Hong Hai would keep trying, but I was a little surprised to see how hard Krystian keeps trying, though! I thought he was pretty much OVER the show. Maybe it’s just sort of in his nature to keep singing and dancing when he has the chance to do so. 
At the trainee self eval, they actually look pretty cool.
Tumblr media
I totally understand why Wumuti is irritated with I-Chan, though. I would be too, in his shoes. There’s no easy way through a situation like this. 
We see him in the dorm later, wearing his official pink pajamas, and talking to someone who I can’t really see but might be Na Kamden. I don’t think we’ve ever spent this much time with Wumuti, ever. He’s such a sweetheart, though. 
Tumblr media
At their meeting with the composer oversees -- at which they seem to communicate mostly in English -- Wumuti has a lot of ideas, and the composer seems to really enjoy the conversation. The choreographers are also impressed at their dance rehearsal. These are the kinds of things that people remember, my friends. It’s not just about how many audience members like you -- it’s also great if producers and choreographers and staff like you. That is how sometimes you can get gigs. 
So I console myself that even though most of this team doesn’t survive to perform the song -- and yes, that includes Wumuti, I don’t think that’s much of a surprise and I did warn you that there would be some mild spoilers -- I think that good things can still happen for them in the future. 
Hey, go follow Wumuti on insta, ok? Even if you don’t use insta much, it just helps him to keep his numbers up. He has a nice cover up of UN Village, and a long note he wrote in English about his time on the show. Fighting, Wumuti, sweetie!
So, I guess the questions to be answered are:
Who among this team will survive? 
What will it be like for the replacement team members to jump into this work in progress?
1:00:00 Supercharger 
So, not a lot of trainees wanted Supercharger. Among those who asked for it, all of them got it. A lot of the rest wanted the super cheerful “Say My Name” or the sexy “Over Me,” and this song is neither cheerful nor sexy. It’s easily my least favorite of the five, and I think that’s how most of the trainees felt as well. Below I list the trainees assigned to this song, the song they asked for, and their previous song.
Haruto                         Supercharger           Zoom Mun Jung Hyun Say My Name Gang Jung Min Gyu            Over Me           Man in Love Chen Jian Yu             Supercharger           Gang Park Ji Hoo             Supercharger           Limousine Cong                         Supercharger           Butterfly Bak Do Ha             Over Me             Not Spring Lee Da Eul             Say My Name Not Spring Lee Dong Yeol           Over Me             Man in Love Park Hyunbeen Say My Name Zoom
We don’t seem them pick a leader -- it’s Lee Dongyeol -- or the killing part -- they give it to Haruto and Park JiHoo, good call. Instead, we pick up with the trainees as they are watching the demo performance on their tablet. The choreo is difficult to say the least. The song still requires a lot of tweaks to the rap, performance, and choreo, and most of the team doesn’t really have the skill. They have Haruto, who can probably choreograph, and Park Ji Hoo, who can definitely write raps, plus I think Mun Jung Hyun and Park Hyunbeen are both into rapping and might be able to help a bit.  Lee Dong Yeol debuted with Up10tion in 2015 and must have learned something about performance by now.  But the rest of them, as Dong Yeol puts it, “aren’t there yet.”
They seem to be putting on a happy face as much as possible, especially Hyunbeen, who probably doesn’t want to be remembered for how much he cried at the first elimination. 
They talk about how they want to put on a good performance, and my theory is that what they mean is, they want to put on a good performance at the trainee self-eval. That’s the performance that they know is guaranteed to them, right? And they want to do really well there. 
If you operate under that theory, everything else they’re doing makes sense. They’re not dwelling on their low ranks. They are instead working really, really hard. Haruto is the dance captain, leading the rest -- Jung Min Gyu (red house) calls him “Haruto-sensai,” which is pretty adorable. 
Tumblr media
They are trying so, so hard. The dance is probably the hardest of the five and the average dance abilities of this group is probably the lowest of the five, but goddamn if they aren’t trying, you guys, and it’s charming. Haruto is complimenting them, and they’re saying “This is fun!” and stuff. 
The other teams go back to the dorms to sleep…. 
Tumblr media
… but all ten of them stay and keep practicing. Even back in their dorms, they’re continuing to practice in the hallways and their rooms. Trainees from the other teams notice and cheer them on.
At the trainee self eval, though, things go off the rail pretty fast. No one really sings, and they sort of lose their place in the choreo a few times. I think they rehearsed in a big group of tne, looking into the mirror the whole time, and didn’t work enough on performing as a group of five and singing along, without a mirror. They keep trying to pick it back up, but it’s a mess.
The other trainees are looking at them like this:
Tumblr media
Kum Jun Hyeon says to a friend, “Wow, the choreo must just be THAT hard” -- that’s such a sweetly empathetic thing to say, cousin.  Park Hanbin is doing that thing he does where he smiles because he’s shocked. Hui is squinting at them, as if trying to imagine how he could fix it somehow. And Lee Yedam is just like, a full body Aigoo. Things don’t go better for the second team. 
It’s just heartbreaking. Afterward, Haruto is crying from embarrassment, and a few of the others are near tears too. The choreo is just too fucking hard for them. They probably should have focused on simplifying it a little, and maybe building in some rest periods, where a few dance a few don’t and then they switch. 
When they get the trainee evaluation forms, the feedback is brutal. But Park Hyunbeen says that this isn’t the worst. “The worst,” he says, “Was when I wore that vest for the Hot Sauce hidden camera.” Then he adds, “I was born to do Super Charger. I went on Boys Planet to perform that song and I don’t ever want to go home. I’ll make sure to survive and perform SuperCharger.” If only the show aired some of this footage before the voting period was over, lovey, but at least we see some of your mettle now. You’re a charming guy, Park Hyunbeen. Fighting!
So the questions that remain are:
Which trainees, if any, will survive? 
Which trainees will end up joining this team?
What will happen when they join -- will anyone be able to dance this choreo?
After that, there’s this bit where Seo Won and Cha Woongki go around and are silly with the other trainees -- the Planet Camp Tour --  and it’s cute, but I don’t have a lot to say about it. 
I still think Ollie was dumb to jam his finger into the camera and say that it smells bad. But he doesn’t know about my theory about bad smells on reality shows. Basically, something I’ve noticed is that on audience-vote-based reality survival shows, like So You Think You Can Dance, if someone on the show is revealed to smell bad at some point, they nearly ALWAYS go home the following week. Like once on SYTYCD, one of the dancers was complaining cheerfully that her dance partner had awful Doritos breath. Gone the next week. Another time, one of the dancers was joking about how awful he smelled at the end of a day of dance practice. Gone the next week. It doesn’t happen on shows where the judges decide, like RPDR or ANTM, but it happens whenever there’s an audience vote. Seriously, watch for it from now on. Let me know if you have another data point to add to my research on this. 
Anyway, the final moments we see before the eliminations start are all the trainees in their dorms probably the night before. We see a conversation between Hui and Kim Gyuvin, who worked together on Love Me Right and are together again on En Garde. It’s cute because Gyuvin doesn’t really fit on the bed. 
Tumblr media
Gyuvin is worrying not about this elimination, but about the final one. It’s far more likely, he reasons, that he’ll be one of the 89 who don’t get into Bepler than to be one of the 9 who do. Hui is worried too. “If I were a Star Creator,” he says, “would I vote for an idol in his 30s? Even I wouldn’t do that.” Oh Hui. Then why did you come on the show, sweetheart? Why on god’s green earth did you do this to yourself?
We see Wumuti talking to his friend again -- it has to be Na Kamden, but I still can’t get a look at his face or get any other clue. “ ‘Give up,’ “ he says. “I used to say those words to myself once in a while. But I can’t seem to. I want it so badly.” Oh, twist that knife, MNET. 
Then we check in with Ji Yunseo and and Lee Yedam, who are with a friend in a mask who I can’t identify. The fucking subtiles say that Lee Yedam is Oh Sungmin, and I mean, omg, MNET, Sungmin has blonde hair right now, what the actual fuck.  
Then we check in Cha Woongki for a while, while he calmly but sadly talks about how he’s not really that popular and even expected to come in last in Feel Special. Now they’re not just twisting the knife; they’ve attached it to a power drill and are just spinning that thing at like 200 rpm.
Then there’s a bit with the boys all writing final messages on the wall about their time on the show. It’s as sad as you’d think it would be. A lot of the notes are addressed to the star creators. I hope that the boys are at least happy to know that people did vote for them, even if they didn’t win. Every single one of them got hundreds of thousands of votes. That must mean something, right? I do a creative performance thing myself, and I recently was eliminated in the second round of something, but people came up to me afterward and said that they voted for me and thought I was the best and were sad I’d been knocked out, and that meant a lot. 
And then the eliminations start.
Alright, loves! Thanks for reading! At this point, episode 9 is out and I haven’t even watched it yet, so I guess I’ll get on that. As always, I really appreciate the support -- some of you have sent in asks that I really loved and just haven’t responded to yet because I have the thoughts in my head and haven’t had a chance to type them. You guys are great. Hope that you’re having a good day and that you’re warm and cozy wherever you are. See you in the next one.

Young and Beautiful - Lana del Rey
Warm hand around my waist, long hair all over the pillow we are sharing, that's how she fell asleep a while ago. Her position hasn't changed yet which tells me, she is having a sound sleep. I can feel her breathing against my neck. I want to watch her face, play with her hair and cheeks. But I can't move an inch, what if she wakes up. It was hard not to let her touch me before sleeping cause I've works to do after she falls asleep and will have to be done before she is awake.
It's almost 3 a.m. and I am having a hard time staying awake while it's warm around her. She is wearing my favorite lace lingerie, if only she knew how hard it was for me not to rip off that piece of cloth from her skin and straddle her. Make her cum in my mouth the whole night until she feels tired and sleepy. I wanted to abuse her soft delicate breasts as she likes. But damn this valentine's day surprise is really taking a lot for me. I gotta make it memorable.
I try to face her as I slightly pull myself away from her. Her facial expression changes as I can understand she is disturbed by me moving her hand from me. I stop as I'm facing her now, ogling her lips, her long silky hair, her smooth milky skin, her lashes, her neck, her curves, her abdomen. It's amazing to know that she is all mine. Mine to love, mine to chase, mine to devour, mine to taste, mine to hug, mine to kiss.
After thinking about what I want to do to my own girlfriend when she wakes up for almost one hour, I get up from bed slowly praying she doesn't wake up. Thankfully she is sleeping a deep sleep or else it would be difficult to let go off her. God, I hate letting go off her.
Fixing my short hair and making a pony tail, I start gassing up the red balloons in the living room. I wish I could listen to some music right now as it's lonely here without her but unfortunately it's not possible. She may call me, need me there, I won't be hearing her and will get caught. Can't let it happen to myself after sacrificing my sleep like that.
After finishing up the balloon decoration, I start fixing the letter box I made for her. Yes, all the letters in and the gifts are ready too. Flowers, yes red tulips are here. I don't know why I bought red tulips instead of roses. I just liked them more than red roses for today. Everyone is gonna give everyone red roses so why don't I prepare tulips for my woman? Hope, she doesn't get offended. She doesn't get offended usually. She is always happy with what I give her, gift her. Never asks for more.
I love how she makes me feel at ease, gives me peace and freedom. I love when she share her clothes with me though they are always short on me. After all, my sweetness is tinier than me.
I should work right now and stop think about what will she think. She will be happy, she will be for sure.
Chocolates, where are them? Ugh, her favorite chocolates, I can't find them. Oh, there. Hiding these from her was difficult but I somehow managed that I forgot where I've kept them. My bad bad luck.
Fixing the living room with bunch of gifts and balloons, chocolate boxes, the outfits I want her to wear. Well, there are lingerie of course, red ones and a white one, a lavendire dress, lavendire shoes. Wine of course, her favorite ones. For today, everything is for today. Also some new rings, accessories. Everything checked. Now, I can go to kitchen.
I start making the flour dough and melt the chocolate chips on the stove. As mold the cake and finally take that from oven, I start mixing some whipping cream with the melted chocolates. I have to do faster and also quietly or else I'm done f-
"What are you doing, babe?"
I stop as soon as I hear her near the kitchen, I shove the flour in the drawer. But as I try to move the chocolate away, my hand falls into it covering my fingers. Fuck, it's all ruined now.
"Oh my God, baby. You don't need to hide everything right now," she says running towards me as I face down feeling defeated. I'm in rage right now. I couldn't finish on time and fuck my fingers are soaked with chocolates, I can't hide a thing.
"Hey, it's alright, baby. I'm happy you are doing all these for me. I'm out of words you know, sweetheart," she sounds concerned and I can feel her coming near and near.
I'm still looking at the floor facing down in frustration. She saw the living room for sure or she didn't? I don't know, I wanna die right now. This is frustrating.
"Baby, slow d-" I cut her off, as I swing her up into my arms and make her sit on the kitchen counter facing me.
"Happy Valentine's day, my sweetness," I say rubbing my thumb on her bottom lips, making it soak with the chocolate I have on my fingers and she cups my face smiling like she is blessed to have me in her life.
"Happy Valentine's day, babe," she replies before pulling me for a kiss making me taste the chocolate on her lips.
I pull her closer by her neck and run my chocolate soaked fingers on her throat soaking her skin too. The stickiness and her milky skin making me want to eat her whole as I bite down her bottom lips making her moan my name softly. She wraps her legs around my waist as she slowly rests her hands on the counter letting me be in control now.
And I take advantage of the moment as I start to leave sweet kisses on my sweetness and licking the chocolate on her throat. I can feel her grabbing the kitchen counter with all of her strength as my kisses deepens more and more.
"Baby, please," she pleads for more and I drive my hands in the chocolate again. I wanna stain her with those right now.
I start to pull up her bra revealing her milky soft tits wanting to get touched, sucked, loved by me. I squeeze them marking in chocolates and take one of them in my mouth sucking the sweetness of chocolate.
"Oh God, babe, you're insane," she almost slips down but I capture her on my hand as I play with her nipples trailing my tongue on them, licking them like I am starving for them. Fuck, she doesn't fit in my mouth fully but I try to take her whole leaving red marks on her tits. As I reach for another tit, I feel her hands on my hair pulling the rubber band away from them, freeing them but capturing them in her fist. She drags me into her more pleasingly.
"Don't be so impatient, sweetness," I order as I drive her crazier taking her nipples in-between my teeth and look at her as she watches me. I bite her nipples only to see her close her eyes while she bites down on her lips and buckles her hip around me.
"Wait, sweetness. Your up comes faster," I say kissing on her chest, her sweet heart.
"But I want you down there, right now," she says softly causing me troubling as she drags me closer making me feel how wet she is right now. Soaked for me to clean, mine to lick, mine to fuck however I want to.
"I see you are desperate, sweetness. But Mommy gets to do what she wants first," I tell her dragging her up, making her sit properly as I rip that bra off her. Fuck, I've bought a better one this time.
"Baby this was your favorite," she says as I threw it away and I smirk dragging my lips on her pelvis, "I can always buy you another one."
I like calling her mine, reminding myself everyday how I am the luckiest girl in this world. If there are multiverse world, I wish to be with her in each one because no one can make me feel like she does, her touch does, her kisses does, her care, her warmth does.
I keep kissing every spot on her skin without going down, she keeps trying to sway me down but I am a very patient woman, she knows she can't fight.
As I get up to kiss her lips again, I feel her hungry, wet kisses while our tongue tangles with each other. Her tongue inside my mouth wishing to dominate but my tongue forcing back in her mouth and taking the domination back. I know she likes it as I pull down her hair to find more domination in her mouth. My another hand working down on her underwear and fuck yes, sweetness is so damp for me. Maybe she is dripping down there and I can't help playing with her waistband while I drag it down. Her biting on my lips continuously not being able to stop whimpering.
Yes, this is how I wanted our day to start and the sun is rising when my hand is inside her lace underwear while I take her clit in-between my index finger and middle finger slowly sliding them up and down while she starts buckling her hip around me.
Hell, the way she is moving holding me for dear life. I don't know how am I not losing control.
"You like when I tease you, don't you?"
She whimpers positively making me feel more at ease and I start fastening my pace. Good girls don't get punishments. Bad girls do.
"Do you want my fingers inside that cunt of yours, sweetness?"
"Yes, please. Please do it," she begs but I don't like it much.
"Not convincing sweetness," I say making her legs shake as I squeeze her clit in-between my fingers pinching her.
"Please," she says not realizing my demand.
"Use your words, sweetness. I don't do anything unless you tell me to. Why should I always remind you?" I say coming closer to her for a kiss but don't actually serve her right.
"I want your fingers inside me. All of them. I want you to finger fuck me. Fuck me h-" I cut her off by slipping one finger inside her little cunt while she falls on my shoulder.
"What? You said, you wanted all. I just entered one, sweetness," I say and keep pacing them in and out painfully slow.
"Please another one," she pleads like a whore she is for me and I keep my promise entering another finger, with more speed.
"Oh God... You are everything, baby. Fuck, yes yes yes, everything. Yes," She says moving her hip with my fingers' rhythm. I like how she matches each thrusts, perfectly, sweetly, madly.
I push another finger curling inside her, stretching her a little more which makes her winch in pain, "Bloody, fuck. This is heavenly."
As I insert my fingers deeper, she starts nodding looking at me becoming a moaning mess. Her hands on her hair as she falls completely on the kitchen counter. I understand how easily I hit the right spot. Fuck this girl always makes me crazy.
"Don't stop, I'm coming," she says as I keep thrusting my fingers again and again. But her this call stops me and she looks at me with disbelief, "I told you not to stop."
"And I'm telling you, this day, you come in my mouth before my fingers, sweetness."
She stares at me with a disappointed face but as I pull her legs closer to my mouth and my hot breath falls upon her pussy, she cries out from the lost orgasm she felt a while ago.
"Baby, please do," she says wanting a bit of release.
I smile looking at her eyes then at that sweet pussy waiting for my meal to be devoured by me. It's all mine and I can't wait to claim it like every single time.
I start teasing her, tasting every inch of her, kissing her, making her a moaning mess again and again.
She cries, she pulls my hair down wanting my tongue inside her deeper than before, faster than before.
And I gift her pleasures one by one, making her cream fill my mouth slowly. The smell of her, the sweet salty taste of her making me feel drunk. I forget how I was sleep deprived, I forget how to stop until she comes again and pulls me towards her to kiss her. I kiss her lips, trail my lips on her chin, her neck. Her neck is place, I fill all of my love and when I stop, I see her becoming a panting mess in front of me.
Such a messy girl of mine. Just mine.
"We have no cocoa powder left. Thanks for ruining my cooking," I say staring at her as my hands are under her neck.
"You look awfully tired, baby. Shall we take a nap at least?" She asks.
"But I haven't come yet, sweetness?" I'm just teasing her.
"We have the whole day tomorrow but you need to sleep. Okay?"
I smile before taking her into my arms as she cross her legs around me, being like a Koala.
As soon as, she pulls me closer, takes me inside her chest. I feel my world closing around her as I drift back to sleep.
What a morning it was! Perfect and even.
When my eyes open, I smell something sweet, chocolatey around the house and realize, she is probably making the cake now.
Without complaining, I get up from bed and take a shower before going to see her and wrap my hair in a towel. We will go out in some hours so, there is no way I would just dress up now.
I leave the room and see her serving the breakfast on the table. Comparing to what I planned to make, it's quite different but I don't mind as long as it's her dishes.
"I heard you were in the shower, so I served the plates," she says sitting next to me putting her head on my shoulder.
"Did you see the gifts?" I ask in dissatisfaction.
"No, I thought I'll go to the living room once you wake up. Didn't wanna ruin your surprise," she says smilingly and I bring her face closer to mine for a peck.
As we finish our breakfast, I take her to the living room and her eyes are shot open.
"Omyyyyyy, baby....So, many gifts," she smiles making me melt as if I'm a butter.
Tumblr media
And when she opens the gifts one by one, I see her expression changing with each gifts. The handmade letter box, the letters.
Tumblr media
She fills me up with smooches in a minute and runs in the room with her dresses. God, I love this woman with everything I have.
She comes back after some minutes wearing the dress, the earrings. I smile as I take her in my arms once again, "You look stunning, beautiful."
"Get ready, date on me," she says and I smile rubbing my nose with hers.
I know how it will go and how it will go after we come back. And it's a blessing knowing we got this life together after struggling for months. One thing is for sure, I love my girl beyond everything.
Happy Valentine's Day sweetness.
What type of girlfriend I am if I don't write for my sweetness? I wanted to write more but baby, I've exam today. 😭
