#I'm just rambling at this point but it's been awhile since I've felt like this and it's overwhelming

[letsquestjess]

Hello! I'm not too sure if this is the right place to make requests. Anyways I've had this little idea for a while. So basically, the reader occasionally talks quietly to herself, and one day, Tech ( or all the boys in like an imagine) overhears this happening. This happens for awhile then one day they mentioned it or laugh at the comment (depends who you do) and were in shock since we say the weirdest things to ourselves. Thanks for checking my idea out. No pressure to actually do this!

Hello there! Thank you for the request! 💜

I went with just Tech for this one. He has such a natural curiosity I think he wouldn't be able to help but listen to Reader's musings 😊

A New Kind of Understanding (Tech x GN!Reader)

Summary: When Tech notices you mumbling to yourself, he starts to listen to see if he can find the cause.

Word count: 1.1K

Warnings: None.

-- -- -- -- --

“Okay, so that’s for this week…” You clicked your tongue and contemplated the assortment of ration packs spread out before you, counting them again. “And then that leaves these for the week after, and we should have some to spare before our next supply run. I hope it’s not the same supplier as last time.” 

As your muttered ramblings persisted, Tech’s datapad slowly dipped, his focus diverted. From his vantage point in the hazard seat, he observed you with keen interest as you lifted a stack of rations into a case. Your mumbling transformed into a vivid recollection of the chaotic sandstorm that had nearly engulfed the team, and he found himself captivated by your train of thought. Whirling grains and howling winds had hounded your steps until you had all bundled yourselves into the ship to wait out the angered elements. 

The storm outside had since subsided, but the flurry in your mind showed no signs of calming down, incoherent mumblings evolving into nonsensical rambles and a stream of random thoughts escaping your lips. Tech almost asked if you were okay before you quickly refocused on the task at hand, labelling the food inventory and rifling through the rations for the following week. 

Your words became more organised, more precise, and you methodically checked off each item on the stockpile until the list lay bare. 

“We should have more than enough until the next supply pickup,” you assured him, pushing on your legs to lift yourself up from the low cupboard. “Might also have some for emergencies.”

“That is a relief,” Tech replied. “Are the crates from the back separated too?”

With a small smile, you nodded and hummed. “Organised them first. Everything has been checked, double checked, and stamped. Even left a little extra for Wrecker.” 

“I am certain he will appreciate the gesture.” Tech’s eyes trailed after you as you descended the ramp. At the greetings that sounded outside in response to your cheerful disposition, he peeked out and scratched an itch from beneath his goggles. How often did you mumble to yourself? Had he been so absorbed in his own work that he had missed a squad mate in need? 

Continuing with the rest of his duties for the day, he made a mental note to keep an eye on you, paying attention to any subtle changes in your behaviour that could indicate potential stress. 

Tech didn’t have to wait long. As you prepared your bunk and settled down for the night, he heard your statements, faint and whispered while you set your armour by your bed. 

Entranced, he pretended to busy himself with his datapad and absorbed your voice. Although most of what you said made little sense to him, he could tell from the patterns that they held meaning to you. Mentions of something you had seen, things you needed to remember for the next day, someone from your past who had irked you. Or so he gathered. 

Tech clung to every word and felt the movement of thought resonate in his mind. Despite his scientific inclination to document his findings, he respected your privacy too much to intrude in that way. While he was open to observing a willing participant, he would never conduct experiments without your complete understanding and consent. 

Instead, he lay back in his bunk and strained his ears for any sounds that might reveal the source of your mumblings, particularly if they revealed any stress or a heavy mental burden. He approached everything with logic and purpose, but he acknowledged that certain emotions and pressures defied explanation, and made it a point to be there for you if you ever needed someone to talk to. 

* * * 

A jangle of machine parts and tools announced your arrival into the cockpit, and you carefully placed the crate onto the co-pilot seat. As you sorted through, you began to mumble, starting with comments about the items in the box and branching out into other musings. 

Standing on the captain’s chair to remove the broken lights overhead, Tech unscrewed the last panel and propped it by the console. Your ramblings continued. He missed a lot due to the rapid pace of your speech, but he caught a few statements to ponder on later.

An old documentary played through the radio, and the correspondent grated on your nerves. His condescending tone provoked you one time too many, and unable to withhold a remark anymore, you sarcastically scoffed, “about as sharp as a cable that one.” You laughed at your own quip and a quick snort from behind you responded. Your voice silenced, and Tech froze. 

“Didn’t realise you were listening to me,” you said, a shaky chuckle escaping into the quiet between you. 

“I apologise,” Tech replied. With a firm step, his feet found solid ground again in front of the rotating seat. “I… I have heard you mumbling to yourself quite a bit recently. Should you need to discuss any concerns, I am more than willing to lend a listening ear and provide assistance. I’m sure my brothers would also listen should you prefer to talk to one of them.” 

Your lips parted as though to speak, but no sound accompanied the motion. Although initially embarrassed by Tech eavesdropping on your ramblings, the realisation that he did it out of concern for your well-being eased your momentary sheepishness and left a warm sentiment in your heart. 

“That’s kind of you,” you said. “But I’m more than okay, I promise.” Despite knowing exactly what you wanted to say, you found yourself dithering for words. Coughing to clear your throat, you pressed on. “I was going through some things a few years ago, and one of my friends told me that muttering to yourself is a good way of settling your mind. It allows you to see clearer, to get rid of the mental clutter you don’t need, stuff like that.” Your fingers fidgeted and your ribs ached as anxiety climbed. “I mumble to sort through my thoughts. I know it sounds stupid, but it works. At least for me.” 

“I do not think your methods are stupid,” Tech assured you. As he neared your position, he extended his hands to grasp yours, stilling the nervous movement of your fingers. “It is a rather rational approach. I find your mumblings interesting as I get to listen to your natural stream of thought and observe how you transition from one idea to the next. As a result, I feel a deeper understanding of you.”

With a fluttered breath, your chest finally settled, comforted by the intelligence clone’s sweet yet logical manner. “Thank you,” you said, turning your palms over so that you could hold on to his hands and give them a grateful squeeze. 

“There is no need to thank me. You are a part of this team and it is imperative we look after each other.” The corner of Tech’s lips curled into a smile, and you reciprocated the gentle gesture. “Although, the offer remains unchanged. If you ever require help, you know where to find me.”

You Belong

An Evangelyne + Adopted Child!Reader comfort fic! requested by anon! featuring Percedal, Rubilax and the kids.

(its been awhile since i've seen season three so i'm setting this just before the main events of that season)

It had been quite a while since Evangelyne and Percedal had found you and saved you from an incident, having taken you into their family since.

Since they took you in they've had two more kids and Eva was now expecting another, and while you loved them and were very grateful, you couldnt help but feel...odd about it.

thinking about it was kind of hard, you werent sure what to call it. you've only ever known them as your family, you were too young to remember any family you might have had before, but you felt so..out of place with this family.

you didnt look like them much, you didnt have any specific traits from your parents like your little siblings had and thinking about this further made you feel sad...

you'd try pushing it down and helping eva with the kids and play with dally but you'd have your moments of suddenly growing very quiet, especially during family moments, and Eva began to notice.

one afternoon while Percedal kept the younger two busy at Evangelyne's request, Eva took you aside to ask you what was bothering you.

"you seem a bit sad lately (name), is something the matter?" she asked gently, sitting carefully on one knee so she was down around your level. "i noticed you get quiet during dinner instead of talking with us like you used to." she pointed out, eyes looking into yours with care.

you felt the same weird sad feeling come back, this time mixed with a shyness that made you look away from her worried gaze. "um...im okay.." you mumbled, clearly not being very convincing.

"its okay if you dont want to talk about it, cher, i'm just here to listen to your troubles. you can tell me anything whenever youre ready, okay?" her soft voice and small smile made you feel a little less shy.

"wel...its just that...i dont look like you or papa, not like Elely and Flopin do, and.." pausing between your words, you glanced over to the rest of the family, Elely had rubilax and was swinging the shushu around despite his many complaints for Dally to get his tot's hands off him.

Eva tilted her head a bit back into your line of sight, showing she was still listening and silently urging you to continue, her green eyes still on yours.

"and um.." you started playing with the hem of your shirt as you spoke "im not from you like Elely and Flopin and the new baby, and i dont have anything cool-im clumsy with a blow but flopin learned from you real quick, i dont know how to hold a sword even when papa tries to show me, im not very good at...fitting in."

finishing your ramble you realized you'd been staring at the floor as your vision blurs and tears start hitting the floor. Eva gently takes your chin in her hand and carefully lifts your head back up to face her, wiping away a few of your tears.

"no, dear, youre very good at fitting in. I understand what you mean, you feel like you arent part of the family, right?" she wasnt smiling now, but she wasnt angry or upset, her voice was still soft...she looked sad.

Nodding, you couldnt help but feel a little guilty for making her sad. She did so much to take care of everyone and her being happy made you happy, you felt bad that your words took her smile away.

"I'm sorry you feel that way, cher." she said, brushing some more tears away before tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, keeping her hand gently on the side of your face. "You are a part of this family though, we love you very much." she started to explain.

"You dont have to look like us or act like us to be family, you dont need to hold a bow like me or a sword like your father, just because Elely and Flopin have picked up our skills doesnt mean you have to too, especially not in order to fit in." Eva's smile was back, soft and small.

"Youre family because we love you, just the way you are, and besides, youre my best little helper, (name), what would i do without you, hm? you can find your own special skills, something cool suited for a cool cutie like you, we can figure that out anytime you'd like." She softly ruffled your hair.

you couldnt help but giggle a bit when she did that. Eva gave you a quick peck to the forehead before pulling you in for a hug, wrapping her arms around your small frame. "You belong, ma cher, i promise."

as soon as you two pulled away from the hug, before you could even say "thank you mama", Elely and Flopin were tugging you away.

"(name) come play already!!"

"Yeah! come play adventurers with us!"

"no we're playing monsters and heroes!"

"no! we're playing adventurers!"

amongst the kids arguing, dally scooped you up and sat you on his shoulders. "How about this, little warriors! we play a big adventure with lots of monsters to fight along the way and we all become heros!"

Evangelyne couldnt help but giggle at her husband's usual 'heroic' antics and how cute he was with the kids, her happy smile as bright as ever. you gave her your biggest smile right back, because she was happy and so were you.

this was your family, you belonged here.

Hi pookies 😊 I'm back i got my first follower so in celebration I will show the rest of what I have for chapter 1. Enjoy 🥰

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️: Talks about incapable of having kids, violence,blood, foul language!

Summary: y/n meeting the hargreeves for the second time in her life. Your mother gave you away to a friend instead of Reginald Hargreeves. Your adoptive mother forced you to the funeral. Thats when you met him...

You were born on October 1st, 1989. 43 women gave birth to children around the world the only thing odd about this was the women weren't pregnant when the day had started. You are like the other children, you were born with powers. Except for the fact you have to powers. Venom is an inky black entity a result from your powers he can take over your body at any time (he likes to scare you time from time). Your second ability is mind reading pretty basic for the fact you can go deep into memories and remember them as if you had just teleported there but you didn't do it often ever since an incident where you heard disgusting things it was horrible.

When born a man named Reginald Hargreeves tried to buy you from your mother. She had never trusted him so she gave you to friend that was incapable of having kids. She was an amazing mother you loved her like she loved you. Though she was still an acquaintance of Reginald Hargreeves just in case. You had met the other children once when you were 13 years old.

It was when you were a single adult coming back from a photo shoot (ptssssss your a model) you were walking down a street when you had saw it. A news report of a essentric billionaire that had died it had shown a picture of the man that had tried to buy you as a kid. You felt slightly bad for the children not knowing how they would react. You got a call from your mother. Venom popped up confused and wanting to hear the drama. "Hey honey" an elderly woman peeped. "Hey mom whats up?" You asked not knowing what she might say next knowing she was unpredictable. " you heard the news right? Reginald Hargreeves has passed away so I want you to go to the funeral for me since I don't have time" you slightly gasped at her sentence . She was retired and you knew her hidden motive. " also maybe you can find someone I could care less if it is a boy or a girl or other just find someone before you die alone" you sighed. "Mom your single." She scoffed "okay and? I've had five husband's and ive got money i had my love life now ill send you the address the funeral is tomorrow have fun!" You tried to protest but she hung up before you could. "*sigh*" venom was cackling. "What are you laughing at?" Venom stopped "th-he old lady told you! HAHAHHA- you are going to die alone 🤣 ". The next day you took off you disided to wear a black t-shirt, black jeans and black boots. You did tiny bit of makeup then you walked out and got into your car. Venom that was coming out if your shoulder wanted to cause havoc knowing you didn't have your morning coffee. He rambled the wholleee way. " thats what I would have done if I was harry potter. Any way we are here get out and hurry up so the old lady can calm down about you being single!!" You wanted to slap him so bad but he was right. You got out and he continued. You walked inside the luxury home in awe. You saw the hargreeves in the common room not wanting them to hear venom talking about how stupid single you are you yelled. " VENOM shut up already for goodness sake!!" You looked at the shocked siblings "been awhile nice to see yall" you said calmly after words Luther the biggest guy was quivering and pointing to venom. " Uh-hm you've got something on your shoulder.." you nodded venom interrupted you before you could speak

"And that something is powerful enough to rip you to shreds so NEVER say that again!" You laugh a little at venom taking offense to a simple sentence " thats venom he is a result of one of my abilities."you stated matter-of-factly. Vanya the smallest one looked at you in confusion " one of your abilities?" You nod and take a seat next to Klaus the druggie and you could smell the alcohol from him. " My second ability is mind reading pretty simple." You look at the siblings and shrug of their stares. " ima get a cup of coffee so yall can continue." You headed down stairs rumiging trying to find coffee. " ugh what luxurious house doesn't have coffee?!" You can hear venom little girl giggles until they got cut of by a loud rumbling sound from outside you sprinted outside to meet your eyes with a huge blue portex from what you could tell.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!" You tried to yell over the rumbling Luther answered quickly "LOOKS LIKE A SPACE ANOMLY!!" Diego gave you a second option " OR A REALLY SMALL BLACK HOLE!" Klaus threw a fire extinguisher in it " WHAT THE HELL WOULD THAT DO?!" you yelled at Klaus he shrugged.Luther yelled " GET BEHIND ME" Then Diego did. " YEAH GET BEHIND US". You could make out a 13 year old boys face going through the anomaly. TUMP!!

The boy dusted him self off. Klaus looked around then looked back at the boy. "Am I the only one seeing little ol five?" He asked confused. Then the little boy looked at you in a daze. "Who are you??"

Hope you enjoyed it be on the look out for chapter 2! Be safe drink water and have a good day 🥰❤❤❤

Hi Luta!

I've been following your blog since KinnPorsche and very quickly fell in love with your reviews hehe and as I read through them, a lot of what you wrote really just clicked for me so you know how you said you seem to attract brats? Congrats you got another baby brat following you 😂 (I actually took the bdsm test you used for the KinnPorsche posts and scored 91% for brat lol ngl that surprised me but also thinking about it......yeah it fits 😂). Learning more about the bdsm community is definitely something I want to do in the future, I just don't have the means rn. But I've always had a very active imagination and the theater major/creative writing minor in me loves to analyze stories and characters, so trying to see a story from several or all of the characters pov is something I really enjoy. And that combined with what I've learned from your blog, I've been able to start figuring out what I do and don't like (theoretically ofc since I have no practical experience and when I experience it irl things will most definitely change), for instance I liked the gentle corrections you pointed out in KinnPorsche or how in Love in the Air, Phayu never denies Rain comfort when he needs it even when he's being firm and just overall how these couples found ways to bring the D/s element into everyday life that works for them.

Anyways I just recently figured out something that I probably don't like skdjks I've been watching Not Me (and reading your posts about it after each ep) and I got to ep 8. Bondage is def something I want to try in the future but I got so mad at Sean for leaving "Black" tied up alone AND I'M NOT EVEN THE ONE WHO'S TIED TO BED 💀 I actually had to pause the ep so I could calm down a bit skdskfkd to help myself calm down I aggressively stabbed some cinnamoroll cloud slime with my fingers (while wrapped in a fuzzy blanket which def must've made for a funny image lol). Once I felt better, I hit play again but kept playing with the slime while watching. And then "Black" came to meet Sean at that abandoned building at the episode and I had to pause again cause I was still mad skfjsjfk my slime really went through this evening 💀 And knowing my petty ass I will most definitely still be mad at Sean for awhile lol (the logical part of me knows it's just a show but the petty side is winning rn) so yeah needless to say, if that had been me.........good luck getting my trust back Sean skzkfhjdkd

Anyways I just felt like sharing this, I know it's a pretty long ramble of an ask but I felt like I could share it with you 💕

Hope you have good day!

Hey baby brat!!!

Thank you for following me so long!!! You've gone through some craziness, lol. 💜💜💜

Yeah, my pet peeve is leaving someone tied up. I tend to be lenient with movie and show magic. However, so many people just don't realize how dangerous it is to keep someone tied up. For a multitude of reasons. Depending on the type of restraint, you only have a few hours to even minutes before you can start causing damage. Cuffs and handcuffs are safer than some other restraints, but even then, you should play by the rules of mobility.

Also, there should always be escape access nearby. A way in which a submissive can remove the bondage if necessary, should there be an emergency. I've known submissive who've had to cut their ropes to save their Doms. It happens.

So yeah, I agree with you completely here. Hope you have an amazing day!!! 💜💜💜

Rambling About a Show (08/13/2022)

⚠️SPOILER!?⚠️

This is another drama I started because I saw an edit on tiktok that piqued my interest. (First time that happened was a Gwi edit, The Scholar Who Walks the Night). Anyhoo, I enjoyed the storyline, the action, the romance, and the drama. I started this on Wednesday (08/10/2022) and finished it today. Here's my rambling.

So, before Court Lady Noh Ok-nam mentioned anything about chaos and it's revealed a version of Jeong Tae eul exists in Lee Gon's universe. I kept questioning if her being in the Kingdom of Corea creates some sort of paradox or something. Same with when Lee Gon is in her universe. Also, later on when Jeong Tae Eul ask Na-ri what she would do if she had met another version of herself. Na-ri's response is shocking but also she's got a point. However, that does not mean I condone in murder. It just means I agree with the whole two versions of one person shouldn't coexist in the same universe, because it messes with the balance of everything.

There were so many plot twists. My favorite is when it's revealed that Lee Gon's older self is the one who saved his younger self on the night of the treason. I had figured it was either Jo Yeong or Luna.

Lee Jung-jin did an amazing job portraying Lee Lim, one of the villains that I couldn't stand. I think Jung Eun-chae also did a fantastic job as Minister Goo. The funny thing is, I instantly didn't like Minister Goo when she first appeared. As I continued on, she showed that I had a good reason not to like her. She is power hunger, manipulative, rude, and wants to be in control. Lee Lim, he just wanted power and eternity, still pretty evil. Also can't forget that he killed his brother and attempted to murder his nephew, Lee Gon. So, both characters are pretty evil and unsettling.

I got emotional when Lee Gon figured everything out towards the end, and also figured out he might not be able to return to Jeong Tae Eul. There was also a possibility that Jeong Tae Eul may not have memories of Lee Gon. Which honestly broke my heart. Also when Jo Eun seob and Jo Yeong said goodbye, that scene made me emotional.

I wanted to talk about the cinematography towards the end of episode 11 and into episode 12. I personally felt that him and his guards riding into the scene on horseback made it all the more powerful and emotional. Sure, they could have pulled up in their royal vehicles, but it wouldn't have as much of impact as the horses. That's just my personally opinion. It also looked like an extremely cool shot. Gotta hand it to the entire crew and actors for producing such a gorgeous and impactful scene. Another powerful scene I was mesmerized by was when Lee Gon and Jo Yeong went back to the night of the treason togethr. Their entrance there was amazing.

I recognized several of the actors from other dramas I have watched. Kim Yong-ji (Na-ri), first character I saw her portray was Yuri in Tale iof the Nine-Tailed. Kim Go-eun (Jeong Tae eul), first character I saw her portray was Ji Eun-tak in Goblin/Guardian The Lonely and Great God. Lee Min-ho (Lee Gon), first character I saw him portray was Goo Jun-pyo in Boys Over Flowers (currently watching that whenever I visit my bestie). Jeon Moo-song (Prince Buyeong/Lee Jong-in), first character I saw him portray was Veteran Lee Young-cheon in episode 6 of Tomorrow.

I should also recognize Kim Young-ok (Court Lady Noh Ok-nam) from an episode of Tomorrow, but I don't. 😳 I saw Kang Ki-doong (Secretary Kim) in Prison Playbook as Prison Officer Song. I was wondering why Kim Kyung-nam (Shin-jae) seemed familiar but couldn't place his face until now. He portrayed Lee Joon-dol in Prison Playbook. That character is vastly different from Shin-jae, hence why I couldn't pin point where I've seen him before. I admit I have seen The Divine Fury, Woo Do-hwan (Jo Yeon) portrayed Ji-sin in that film, but it's been awhile since I've seen that film so I forgot about it. 😫

I admit there is so much I love about this drama. But as usually I'm only rambling about everything that stuck out the most to me. This was definitely worth the watch.

Going through your archive I saw a post you made a while back about the book disenchanted by brianna sugalski and I just really want to know if you've read the rewritten version of book 1 and if so, what did you think of it?? I read her debut arc when it first came out but I saw some negative reviews of the rewrites she did and was wondering what your take on it was. I loved the first book, it was super fun. Should I bother to keep reading the series?

Note: Sorry for spaming your notifications btw 💞🫂

XOXO

hiii !!! no need to apologize at all <3

ok so i'm kinda the resident disenchanted stan around here so i'm very biased when it comes to this book and series lol. i personally love both versions for different reasons. the ya edition is pretty nostalgic for me at this point since i read it around the time it first came out in 2020 and it's my most read book to date. the rewrite, however, follows many of the same beats as the original version but i felt it fleshed things out just a biiiit more, character and lore wise and if anyone knows me they know i loooove lore. the world feels richer to me like it has more depth. i wish i could ramble on more but if i'm being honest, it's been a hot second since i've read this book and i'd need a refresher to try and attempt something that could be considered a review

something important to note is that, if i remember correctly, disenchanted started as a series of poems that was then turned into a book, then it was turned into a series, hence why we had that scene with garin and the duchess at the end of it. brianna said she wanted to make it clear there was more to the story that was originally a standalone. she started writing the sequel i think a little after her debut's release and struggled with it for a long time, trying to make things work before she made the decision to rewrite the first book. so i understand people can have some frustrations with a rewrite but brianna said it was important for the series going forward and i fully believe it was for the best

overall, in my completely biased opinion, i'd say it's definitely worth it to continue the series. i'd also recommend reading the rewrite if you haven't, it's kinda like visiting an old friend you haven't seen in awhile. like you know them but they've also grown a bit, they're more sure of themselves and it's a refreshing change

Jekyll & Hyde the Musical at the Star Royale Theatre

I've been meaning to start a series like this for awhile where I share my thoughts on local theatrical productions! I've been a part of community theatre since 2017 and love being in the cast, crew, and audience alike. Getting to know these amazingly talented actors and watch them perform their hearts out is truly a pleasure and I wanted to start documenting that as much as possible.

Since I'm just doing this for fun, I'll only be using character names instead of actor names just in case they would prefer not to have their names out there. I'm also not the best writer haha - I'm not really looking to make these "thoughtful thought pieces". I think these are just going to be a little ramble of excitement for local theatre and the things I liked in shows. 🖤

First show I'm going to highlight is Jekyll & Hyde from the Star Royale Theatre in Pompton Lakes, NJ!

I'm a bit of a theatre noob (...extremely in fact) so there are so many shows, actors, and songs that I just don't know that fellow thespians know inside and out. As a result, I have never seen nor heard of Jekyll & Hyde and I was super excited to enter the audience without any information. This show was creepy, heartfelt, suspenseful, and funny. I really enjoyed it!

-spoilers ahead-

The symbolism in Dr. Jekyll's "double character" was done so well! In the very first scene he stood behind two frame-looking set pieces that showed "2 sides of him". The light design for every time Mr. Hyde came out was so on point and it really added to that creepy vibe that let the audience know what was coming. I found myself feeling unsettled every time the light changed (in a good way) and was fascinated with the "inner demon" concept.

The songs were beautiful and the singing was hauntingly beautiful and operatic and I feel like I could listen to Lucy & Emma sing duets all day. My favorite character was definitely John Utterson. He just wanted to have Jekyll's back but couldn't allow him to hurt others any longer. I really felt the respect he had for his dear friend. "His Work and Nothing More" had to be my favorite song. And everyone's accents were SO GOOD!

Jekyll dueting with himself in "The Confrontation" could not have been easy and going from one character type to another in a split second while maintaining his projecting was very cool to watch. The lighting hitting him in the "half red / half white" was dope af.

I'm feeling inspired to read "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" which is the book that the musical was adapted from. We are in the spoopy season so why not continue the spoops? 🎃

I'll be seeing more shows coming up and I'm excited to share more!

kim lip scenario where she fell in love with a book and went to a book signing event, since it’s the first time of the author to do a book signing, then she met the author and surprised because she was also kim lip’s almost girlfriend when they were in highschool.

Books & Latte's

During winter break Jungeun spent her days in the small library in her home town reading her favorite book series that she had unintentionally fell in love with during school. She would spend every moment of free time reading them and even staying up late some nights.

When Jungeun was scrolling through her phone her eyes perked open when she read an announcement that Barnes and Noble had posted on their Instagram account y/n announce: "The author of the book 'Free Fall' will be at your local Barnes and Noble Saturday from 2-5pm."

"I have to get a picture with them, I have to meet them" she huffed seriously. That night Jungeun fell asleep getting herself mentally prepared for the long day ahead of her.

•

•

•

Jungeun impatiently stood in the ridiculously long line that curved around the block of Barnes and Noble. It was a crisp 17°F outside, everyone bundled up in their winter clothes while gripping onto their book for dear life.

Right as Jungeun was next in line she got a glimpse of the person's face. She gasped, dropping the book to the ground just as it was her turn to meet the author.

The woman sat behind the table with the same stunned face as Jungeun. Neither of them spoke for half a minute before the woman broke the ice, "i-its been awhile Jungeun" she nervously smiled. "Yeah it has, I didn't know you made this book. I've been obsessed, y-you did great, y/n" Jungeun complimented while handing y/n the book to sign it.

"would you like to meet me at the coffee shop across the street? I have about 10 minutes left of this and then I'll be there" y/n suggested. Jungeun agreed to the location before grabbing the book and walking out the front entrance. Her airway felt tight as she didn't expect to run into her almost girlfriend from high school.

The two of them were best friends who would flirt with each other and sneak a few make out sessions here and there, but they never made time to make anything official. And when Jungeun heard y/n was moving out of state for college she was devastated, and ghosted the girl for her own good.

Jungeun sat at a booth near the window swirling her straw through her hot chocolate as she watched the light snow flurry that took place outside. As she heard the small bell go off indicating someone entered or left the store she looked up making eye contact with y/n who was failing to hold back a smile at Junguen's presence.

"I missed you so much" Y/n got right to the point, "I dreaded leaving, I wanted to stay here with you and become a couple and spend my days with you. I didn't want to leave" she rambled on. Junguen sat speechless knowing that if she spoke she would stutter badly.

Junguen swallowed deeply, "I missed you too, y/n, but if you would have stayed then you wouldn't be successful as you are right now"

Y/n reached across the table taking Jungeun's soft, cold hands into hers, "but I don't feel successful if I'm not with you. Ever since I left I could only think about you and all the ways I had hurt you when I left"

"no y/n, you're the one who must've been hurt considering I ghosted you. I was a jerk for that." Jungeun sighed looking down. Out of the blue, y/n didn't hesitate and asked, "can we try a relationship again? And if it doesn't work out we can still be friends?" She asked causing Junguen to blush a deep shade of red.

Jungeun nodded her head yes, smiling hard about everything that occured in the last 10 hours. "I know I already said it, but I missed you so much unnie" y/n pulled Junguen in for a hug.

okay so i know i mentioned on here before that i have a bunch of dreams when i sleep and how i had that cute one with xiao & mingxiao before right?? 👀

forgot to share it sooner bc life but anyway i had a funny/cute dream with diluc the other day (i'll try to add a read more bc this got a lil long but it doesn't always work on mobile so i'll try & fix it asap if so!) but yeah this kinda turned into a whole fic of its own lol,,

☆ the dream itself is here, under the cut! ☆

basically, to not have to explain all the lore about my oc/self insert and all that again, the tldr of it is that i landed on teyvat similar to traveler but didn't really have anywhere to go so after gaining his trust and becoming close, diluc sort of just takes me in and lets me work at the tavern + lets me stay in a spare room at the winery. so yeah we often walk to/from work together if he's working at angel's share that day, and i guess everyone just assumes we're dating?? ...except for me, that is, who still thought he was in love with jean (bc of the whole stormterror thing).

one night, kaeya's been hanging out in the tavern all night, venti's already left or passed out or smth, and then once things close up, diluc and i get ready to head off, but apparently this is the first time kaeya's seen us head off together/in the same direction, and immediately decides to start teasing. he's all "ooh look at the two lovebirds, you've moved in together already? how'd you ask her out, i didn't know you two were a thing, congrats bro so glad she likes you back" kinda stuff and then i just start laughing and telling him to knock it off, wouldn't want jean to overhear and misunderstand. and they're both just like ......wait what? and i'm all "oh cause diluc likes jean right? i thought the were like an Unspoken Thing yknow??" and both stare at me as if i've grown like 3 heads and started doing a one-(wo)man barber shop quartet. lightbulb goes off in kaeya's head that i don't know jack shit & we're not a thing (yet) and diluc is just thinking like "i can't believe you're literally this oblivious, holy shit". hence kaeya's teasing The Sequel, where he just starts complimenting my uniform and says i look like a cute little maid or whatever and diluc is silently fuming behind me. he mutters something along the lines of "how oblivious can you possibly be?" and all but throws his coat/jacket over me to try and cover me "bc it's cold" (yeah yeah sure, jealous much? haha), then asks me how i never noticed how he felt about me. so i'm there having an earth teyvat-shattering moment of revelation that it WASN'T jean he liked, and that he didn't do all those nice things for me bc i'm friends with her, but because he liked...me????

kaeya smugly walks off with a little "you're welcome", after a his shenanigans, and i'm still trying to process things bc i'd never seen diluc that way, always assuming he'd liked someone else so i never really looked at him that way. we kind of quietly resume our walk back "home" and im clutching his jacket close to me, then we both try to speak at the same time, he tries to ask for my response/reaction and i was trying to ask for some time. he's kind of confused and almost looks hurt, but agrees to give me some time to think, since i explained the whole "not seeing him in that light" and didn't want to answer on a whim. that i didn't want to mistake gratitude for all he's done for me for affection and stuff so he was like hey good point i wouldn't want you to feel like i forced you into this, and no you're not gonna get kicked out/fired if you don't like me back, it's okay. diluc mentions having to be away for 2 weeks cause of a work trip and that i can respond then.

in the meantime, a bunch happened like a trip to liyue with aether & paimon, a whole girls' talk over tea with jean & lisa over the situation, and got my own lil serenitea pot so i potentially had the option of moving out now if i wanted to. i decided to my day off from the tavern to go out on a little adventure, just journey around and test out the teapot home and all that jazz. ran into noelle and we hung out/trained for awhile together and invited her in for for a tea break and stuff, like it was just really cute and fun. but apparently diluc came back a few days early and was freaking out when i was nowhere to be found, no one had any idea where i was, and was just really concerned something might happen to me. then noelle arrives through the gates and overhears him asking lisa stuff and goes all "oh she's over by (idk where i was maybe that bit of land between mond & liyue?) and he thanks her for the info and runs off to find me. he finds the teapot (somehow) on some rock but doesn't see me and i come back out of my lil abode bc someone outside kept saying my name and then i felt the teapot shake (he'd picked it up). cue a dramatic reunion in the rain bc when isn't it pouring and trying to kill me in teyvat in true romcom fashion i guess.

diluc is all "do you have any idea how worried i was about you? all alone out here? any of the abyss mages could have hurt you or taken you away or-" just rambles on and meanwhile im having this sort of Oh You're Back and I Think I'm Feeling Things realization (absence makes the heart grow fonder lol). so there's just this kind of strong, desperate hug moment and everything's quiet, save for the pouring rain and faroff occasional lightning strike. and i whispered something along the lines of "i think i'm in love with you" and his eyes widen before responding smth like "i think i'm in love with you too" with a fond smile, the first genuine huge smile i've ever seen on him (pls picture him like in the manga and not his in game ._. face PLS-🤣). cue another romcom cliche reunion hug + kiss scene in the rain, in which we take shelter from the rain inside the serenitea pot bc of how bad the storm kept getting.

(aether has tubby but i have chummy, kinda looks like the teapot salesman, and i usually just call her chums.) so we're greeted by chums who kind of is like staring daggers at diluc bc i showed up with a guest unannounced, drenched, and we're holding hands. she's overprotective in a very Mom Friend kind of way but she just means well. we change into some baggy share clothes i have and then i scrambled up something to eat (since we can apparently cook & forge in our lil pot i love that so much-) anyway so we decide to get some rest bc it's late and have the Oh No There Was Only One Bed conundrum until we agree to just share and sleep on opposite sides bc nbd right? i turned in my sleep and essentially was hugging his back whilst asleep, and he just turned over at some point and hugged me too, and booooiiii was this fire boy WARM, he felt like a personal heater and after all that rain, i slept like a log. diluc woke up before me cause he's used to an earlier schedule and slips out quietly to speak to chummy, asking if she knew where the supplies were cause he wanted to surprise me with breakfast (and man can he cook! goodbye kfc, hello good hunter). chummy is still kind of not vibing with him, until he apologizes for "intruding" and explains everything that's happened, to which chums kind of softens up and realizes he's sweet and just wants to do something nice, not go around raiding the house. woke up alone and went to look for the source of the smell, and kinda just clung to him, making diluc blush. don't remember too much more after the cooking thing though besides going for a stroll around my teapot layout, meeting all the pets that chill there, and kinda just having a relaxing day off together. the winery staff was probably freaking out wondering where we were, but we were just kinda in our own world (literally?), enjoying the peace before returning to all the chaos that is teyvat. cutest damn dream ❤
