OMG OKAY SO- I SINCERELY APOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPSLOCK BUT I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS WHILE I WAS DOING THE DISHES—
How would the worst gen trio react to fanservice scenes of the reader? More specifically: the typical anime onsen scene. aka those japanese(??) baths where it's steamy and stuff).
AND IN ADDITION: the writers and authors for the anime are aware of how large the 'simping for the crimson reaper' fandom is so they decided to make a call out in the scene where the characters, in ckuding reader, look at the camera when they mention that reader has a lot of worshippers even as a pirate(?). HOW WOULD THE WORST GEN TRIO REACT TO THAT?? BECAUSE I LITERALLY BEGAN LAUGHING LIKE A HYENA WHEN MY BRAIN SUDDENLY THOUGHT OF THIS WHILE DOING THE DISHES :'DDDDD
— yours truly, also a eustass kid simp anon 🥀
a/n - NO DW ABT CAPS I YELL ALOT ANYWAY 💀 damn maybe I should do dishes so I’d have good ideas 😭 oh. My. GOD. YES OML I- I CHOKED ON MY WATER WHEN I READ OVER THIS- TY KID SIMP ANON YOU’RE THE BEST
Warnings ⚠️ - g/n reader, worst gen trio live together in an apartment
Tumblr media
Law
- oh he was doing COMPLETELY fine while watching op with a cup of water in his hand
- He took a sip, closing his eyes and sighing with how nice the ice cold water felt
- Once he reopened them, he spit it out, clutching his throat while coughing and wheezing
- On-screen, he saw you in nothing but a towel on!
- law.exe has stopped working
- He almost had to call the ambulance because he was choking so badly 💀
- he was literally struggling to turn the tv off, dropping it and the remote accidentally turning up the volume (pls this is so horrible 😭 I’m so sorry law)
- he was literally dying, figuratively and- literally because he’s having absolutely no luck with trying to stop coughing
- The volume was so fucking loud
- OF COURSE IT WAS A SCENE WITH YOU IN A BATHROOM WITH ALMOST NO CLOTHES ON
- The sounds in this scene were also- kind of questionable
- He literally was banging the floor, trying to drink more water to help himself not die such a stupid death
- “Trafalgar Law, death by water”
- no he wouldn’t ever allow that to happen
- then suddenly, he saw that you and the other characters turned straight towards the camera
- “So uh… I guess I have a lot of worshippers?? I’m a pirate guys..” You said with an awkward look in your eyes
- You had an abundance of fan letters right beside you, and this was one of those special edition episodes
- Law was so- red
- He was freaking out SO MUCH
- At the same time, he loves you so much. But then feels so stupid for falling in love with a fictional character 😭
- The TV was so loud that when Luffy and Kid barged through the door, they immediately asked questions
- “Why are you groaning Torao?!” -Luffy
- “Is that you or the TV…?” -Kid (kid this is the one time I’m gonna say you did smth good :)
- Law turned bright red. And I mean BRIGHT red
- he threw himself across the floor like a worm, grabbing the remote while wheezing
- he kept pressing the button to turn the TV off to no avail
- “DAMN IT!”
- He yelled, slamming his fist into the remote, finally getting it to turn off
- He was breathing so heavily, his heart pounding from stress, fear, and embarrassment
- He almost died choking on his own water, because of seeing his fictional crush in a bath scene 💀
- Luffy and Kid looked at each other with the same look in their eyes
- “YOU’RE A SIMPPPPPPP!” They both cheered, making fun of him to no end
- they were like little kids saying “na na na na na” around Law
- he had a headache before, but now he thinks he has brain damage from these two 😭
- he secretly saved that episode for.. later purposes you could say 👀
Tumblr media
Kid
- he usually watches one piece while tinkering with some of his new machines, he likes listening to your voice in the background
- It helps him work lol
- all of the sudden, he heard water noises, so he turned to the tv out of curiosity of what was happening
- maybe you were fighting someone again?
- his eyes went wide, and he dropped his hammer into his foot, making him start screaming like a madman
- “FUCK- DAMMIT FUCKING- OW-“
- He was hopping around on one foot for a long time after that
- when he finally calmed himself down, he went straight towards the tv as fast as he could
- You were in nothing but a towel, your feet hanging in the warm water of the hot springs
- Steam making your skin almost glisten with the lighting
- Kid had to swallow hard, and he swore to himself, he better not be getting turned on by a literal anime scene
- he was almost frozen in time
- you turned towards the screen, literally staring right at him which made him turn bright red like his hair
- his foot was throbbing from his injury earlier, but this was obviously more important 🙄
- “Wow- that’s a lot of.. People who like me- guys I’m a pirate you know right?? Not exactly the best person ever-“
- Kid was about to punch his face to see if this episode was real-
- it literally seemed like you were staring right at him as you were talking!
- he clenched his fist, getting ready to punch his face as he closed his eyes, then swinging his fist quickly
- it flew just in front of his face, hitting the tv in front of him, making it completely shatter and fall into the ground
- He was wondering why he didn’t even feel a single ounce of pain, he swore he swung pretty hard..
- He opened his eyes and then realized, he fucked up
- “GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!”
- He screamed, grabbing his red tufts of fluffy hair with stress
- When Law came downstairs to see what all the commotion was about, his eyes widened
- “You broke the fucking tv????”
- “WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE GENIUS?!”
- “MEATTTTT!” *snores*
- “...the fuck?” -Kid/Law
- Law made Kid buy a new one since he’s the one who broke it
- and Law also told him to watch those types of scenes on his phone and not on the tv
- man was so angry at Law for telling him that, but also the most tomato colored man on earth
- kid now watches one piece only on his phone, in his room, and with headphones on so no one will disturb him
- and also to prevent the risk of having to buy another tv
- also to avoid arguing with Luffy over what show to watch
- 😭
Tumblr media
Luffy
- Luffy managed to convince both of his roommates to watch this special episode of one piece with him
- Man was so excited he got out the meat too-
- Law and Kid didn’t mind the episode so far, until it got to a bath scene (which pretty much every classic anime has-)
- Luffy picked his nose, not even paying attention to what was going on
- “Ugh.. This is kinda boring, I thought I’d get to see y/n fighting-!”
- He started to shout before he saw you in only a towel, nothing more
- he didn’t drop his meat, but he stopped mid-bite, his mouth already wrapping around the entire bone
- Kid and Law looked down at him with a deadpan expression
- No one talked for at least 4 minutes
- they were all frozen in the same position for so long that luffy’s meat was going cold
- he then noticed that your eyes stared straight into his, almost as if you were standing right in front of him
- his eyes went wide, and you went in to explain, “Wow- that’s a lot of.. People that like me? guys. I’m evil.”
- Luffy jumped out of his seat and started to tackle the tv
- “No! You’re amazing y/n! You’re super powerful and everything! I still wanna fight you! You’re not evil!”
- He screamed, wrapping his legs around the tv
- “DUMBASS YOU’RE GONNA BREAK IT!” -kid
- Kid had to run forward, making Law try to pry Luffy off the tv while Kid held it upright as much as he could
- “LET GO OF ME TORAO I’M EXPLAINING SOMETHIN’”
- “THEN GET OFF THE TV!” -Law
- He went on a rant, and even after the episode was already done, he was listing all the reasons of why he looks up to you and why he literally thinks you’re so amazing 😭
- when the scene started, it was 5pm
- it was now 8pm.
- Law and Kid beat his ass afterwards 💀
Tumblr media
a/n - pls I swear this was so funny 😭 tysm kid simp anon you’re amazing as always 🥺

For the ship bingo: those two skeletons I forgot their names I know they're skeletons though!
:DDDDD CRISS AND CROSS!! MY LITTLE SKELETON GUYS!!!!
Tumblr media
They were asked "what are you to each other" and they chose to label their relationship as bonefriends so they are a qpr to me <33
Fandom doesn't know them like I do because I spend way more time thinking about these silly side characters than I reasonably should. This is also why canon did them wrong, i thought to long about the tragedy of the situation they put themselves in - dying separated, both thinking it was all their fault if only they'd stayed together. Now when I watch the episodes they're in I get offended that theyre just the comic relief ahskaoskak
Tbh idk where my obsession with them came from, I was totally normal about them until like 3 months after I watched chapter 2 and just went insane about them for no reason. Like what prompted me to start thinking about them I have no idea. I'm so grateful though <3
One day I'm gonna read everything there is to know about Plato's allegory of the cave and I'll write an essay about them. Like I wanna write essay about how their story parallels other characters but I also want to write about Just Them
ALSO I am. Drawing attention to "id read a fic". Anyone reading this i just want you to know for no particular reason that I would be really enthusiastic about a fic, especially your fic specifically, if you happened to write one haha
Please.

♦️Episode 23 ♦️
Gonna skip mseto's clovenheart and come back around in my pass for the extras
[Felix is spar's ran, androgynous, willowy, Luna sibling &therefore elven light-medium brown skin VERY curly hair, which Spar also has when not slicked back, but brown eyes, sweet smile "between them and tars, they are obviously the more delicate one"]
[Josepha has green skin]
[Merim² is Felix's sibling, spar's Om (om is an ungendered word for aunt of uncle that has become my default for that usage but which I have seen used by other peope exactly once. But I like it. So.)]
The dreams sequence was uhhhh fucked up, methinks!
[Spar's restless & withdrawn when he's angry] hough....HOUGH.
Vellum making sure Spar's all healed up...ugh. ugh. Knife through my heart.
Yk how like there's that circle of distance animals tend to keep from sitting humans and how like dogs will come up really close to like any person but cats tend to stay further away?
Sometimes I think about that in situations like this, and what vellum's doing. Being visible, being available, helping keep watch but...letting someone take their time. Giving space at the same time.
I love that Vellum and Anya get along the are SO ♥️♥️♥️
Omg 🥰carnation🥰
Ah, I'm really glad they went to get her if they were gonna give up Anya........ [Vellum expresses that while he prefers to trust people it's often best to err on the side of assuming dishonesty—mostly at work]
OOOOHHHHHHHH ANYA'S DAD BEING IN CRYSTALLIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
Oh my god Anya is so sweet I love her!!!!
Spar if you don't fucking open up your goddamn heart and stop shielding and self isolating every time something sucks I will kick your ass!!!! I KNOW. it's hard, but fuck!
ANYA CALLS HIM KAOLIN VELLUM THEY HAD THE NAME MOMENT RHEY HAD!!!!!! THE NAME MOMENT IM SCREAMING. YAYYYYYY OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! >:DDDDD
They have such sibling-in-law energy. They have such "gossip over tea as the run rises before making sure everyone's up and ready for the family event" energy. Your honor I love them.
OPE spars up.
The hurt/comfort ideas this episode is implanting into my brain.
JACKS LETTER. HOLY SHIT
SEVENTEY TWO HOURS WAS......TOO LONG AGO, HUH? FUCKING HELL
"it's on the list" I'm gonna strangle spar.
Narratively? I love this. Narratively, spars doing so good. Narratively, gimme gimme gimme those good good flaws
Personally? Spar what the FUCK. Spar FUCK OFF. BITCH.
IPSWITCH'S "AHEM" UFKSGSKAGSKDG
"who should even be in charge of this?" technically Vellum, right? He's the one that gives final approval on use of force?
OH SPAR FEELS HELPLESS, THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. Makes sense, checks out, mhm
"QCS LIKE WHY WOULD YOU KILL A POPSTAR" FOSVSOSGSKS FUCK LMAO
Vellum trying to pull Spar's bear hug move.
Oh, goddamn, this scene is....hooooo.
"greggins is gaining a new appreciation for spar's style of communication" spar communicates???
VELLUM PULLED NO FUCKING PUNCHES ON THAT PHONE CALL LMAO
"I need to hyperventilate for a minute and then I'll get back to you" first of all, mood—
"spar has never willingly taken a vacation...usually his loved ones trick him into it" spar is SUCH a hot mess, and I love Tatiana but girl....
VELLUMS BEING A LITTLE ARCHEOLOGIST IS SOOOO CUTE
LUNAVELLA AND BRUNHILDE HI!!!!!! I hope they kick his ass (not literally just give him a good talking to because spar what the fuck)
Spar...Spar speaking to them like that is WILD to me...
"he pats her as if he's comforting her" I am going to run spar a nice hot bath with lavender Epsom salt and fucking bolt him down into it will this man let himself be comforted ONCE?
"the more important thing is that they're here now and I can't keep everyone safe." D:
Spar? Asking for help? Of course not, unheard of.
Bestie those are elven war vets who killed a puppet-master-(functionally)demigod PLEASE let someone help you.
Musician...musicia—DIAMOND. FUCK.
Also NOBODY made diamond a scapegoat in ANYTHING I love them (sincerely) but they are so annoying (derogatory)
RESIST DIAMONDS MIND CONTROL?
YEAH!!! YEAH I WOULD NOT LIKE THAT JOKER FLY CAUSE FUCK.
So diamond had contact with Grey....and wait grey was coming to sindershore? I'm wondering if diamond can mind control on the phone
HEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHE vellum said fuck
(not that he hasn't before? I havemt kaot track. But that was a DAMN well delivered line)
"OHHH! YOUR SPARKLINESS" FUEKGSKDGD
"looks like you've collected more of them!"
"which means over been watching them EXTREMELY carefully!"
Ipswitch is annoying in the best way. Ipswitch is annoying like I hope they never stop talking I have my chin in my hands, tell me all about how deductibles are a metaphor for justice.
Diamond is annoying like when I even hear the name I'm like "oh this bitch again"
WHY DID THEY CALL QC A MINION? MOTHERFUCKER—
""""""""the other one""""""""
"JEALOUS"
"it's seems that you (pointing at vellum) have joined the list of my suitors" hhhh diamond is sooooo lucky to not be real because if we existed on the same physical plane I would be stepping on the back of their heels when they walk at every opportunity. I would mix toner into their hair mousse. I would straighten the backs of all their hanging earrings and bend the backs of all their studs. I would put olive oil in a spray bottle and go ham on their closet.
"I'm being cute" that's a word for it.
BITCH "WHY?" AFTER YOU WERE FOUND WITH THE FUCK WERELION DRUGS THE PERSON YOU INVITES WENT ALL WERELION AND THEN YOU JIST FUCKING LEFT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING AND DIDNT UPDATE THE PROGRAMME ABOUT YOUR ABSENCE YOU HAVE GOOOOOT FO SEE HOW THAT IS SUSPICIOUS "WHY" MY ASS. """""WHY""""".
bitchass motherfucker. God.
AND OH YEAH YOUR PROBABLY MIND CONTROLLED KURT
"how is sekitan? :)" I don't trust that question at all.
"I didn't want them to be a fatality in all this" HHHHHHHHHRRNGHHH (wrathful)
[Kurt? May be green-skinned]
I loved this episode so much there are so many feelings in my heart. I was affectionately exasperated with spar, and then diamond came in and I was just exasperated. But ipswitch, Anya and Vellum are balancing it out for me. And also the scene between Spar and auntsssss that. That was so. SO. WAH. —AND END NOTES LUNA AND HILDE WERE GOING TO THE COUPLES DANCE THAT'S SOOO CUUUUTE!!!!
And ohhhhh diamond from from the plot card!! Huh!! They wove into the story so well I assumed they were, like, in the premise of the show!
But anyways I'm still bonking spar over the head with a wrapping paper roll and yelling "YOU. MUST. TRUST. YOUR. PEERS. TO-BE-STRONG-ENOUGH. TO CARRY. THE BURDEN. THAT IS. YOUR HEART. BECAUSE-THEY-CANT. KNOW YOU. WITHOUT. THAT. TRUST. SO. HELP. ME. GOD!!!!!!!!"

Buncha shit I’ve written over the past couple o’ months
Lotta shit here, 23,950 Characters and 4,379 words. LONG AS FUCK, BEW A R E
okay but deadass imagine if Techno's crown is a cardboard crown that Tommy made for him when Tommy was like 6??? IMAGINE BRO THE POSSIBILITIES angst? sure, Tommy died or suddenly hates techno and the crown is all techno has left of Tommy. fluff? sure, flashbacks showing Tommy making the crown/au where Tommy is Technos VERY younger brother. gore? someone breaks the crown and techno snaps and kills a bunch of people (bonus points if techno just walks back home all casually to 6 y/o Tommy and asks for a new one, Tommy completely ignoring the smell of blood yet he knows what happened). smut? GET OUT OF HERE FILTHY DISGUSTING MONSTER
okay, so idea:
Phil lectures Tommy for doing dumb shit (getting into a fight) and Tommy starts to cry and Phil doesn't know why because he wasn't even being that harsh on Tommy so he's like
"what's wrong? oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh shit oh fuck oh shit" because panic, and Tommy's like
"its nothing, I'm fine, it's stupid-" because teenage angst and plot purposes, so Phil is like
"bullshit, tell me what's wrong"
and Tommy's like "I punched the guy because he said that you and Wilbur and techno don't love me and that's why you never hug me and that I should stop complaining about it- oh shit wait-" and Phil's like
"complaining about what? COMPLAINING ABOUT W H A T???" and Tommy says
"... I think I'm touch starved."
BAM ANGST IS OVER, THEN YOU GOT YA FLUFF
Fd Au. Tommy coming home after getting detention in school, where he got an F on his test, coffee got spilled all over him, constantly made fun of, no lunch, and overall a really bad day. Wilbur asks him to get him a glass of water, and Tommy says no. Wilbur and Tommy start arguing, and eventually, out of spite, he came back with a glass full of ice cubes and tell him to wait. Wilbur gets pissed and goes to yell at him, but Tommy shoves him and yells at him to fuck off. Wilbur asks what's wrong with him, and Tommy shouts back, "I was supposed to be home three hours ago and all you care about is me getting you water! Do you even care about me at all?" While crying, and runs up to his room. After a little while, and after Phil gets home, Wilbur tells him about the argument. Phil takes Tommy's side and tells Wilbur to apologize. Wilbur goes to Tommy's room and finds his window open and Tommy not there. He climbs up onto the roof and finds Tommy smoking pot, and starts to yell at him.
Fd Au. Tommy comes home hours, past curfew, really late, like after Phil comes home. Wilbur is about to yell at him when he notices how tired Tommy looks, and then how much blood was on him. He instantly panics and yells at Techno to get the medkit, and Tommy passes out due to blood loss. Fd Au. The Pandel siblings go to a party and Tommy gets pulled away from his siblings by some random people he doesn't know. When they find him, with the help of DTeam, The Trio, and The L'manburg Crew, a group of 16-20 people are trying to pressure him into drinking/smoking. Tommy refuses every time, and then Bad, Toby, and Phil comfort him while everyone else beats up the people that were trying to pressure him, other than A6D and Fundy, who are both getting rid of the stuff people were trying to make Tommy consume.
DreamSmp Is Real Au (????). Dream finds Tommy crying. He asks what's wrong, and Tommy completely breaks down. He tries to respond without his voice shaking but all that comes out is a sob. Dream walks over and tries to comfort him, but Dream isn't good with emotions. He panics and calls Bad because he knows how to deal with kids. Dream tells Bad that he's gonna bring Tommy to base-area, and asks Bad to comfort Tommy. Bad agrees, and Tommy and Dream set off. Dream tries to make small talk and asks what's wrong, and Tommy starts crying harder. "I feel so fucking lonely. All the time. But I know I shouldn't, because I have Wilbur and Toby, and- and everyone else on ou- MY side. I miss not fighting. I-I miss talking to you- and George- a-and everyone else without it being fucking fighting! I-I miss Eret- GOD I miss Eret so fucking much-" While sobbing. Dream doesn't know how to react, and Tommy collapses. He sobs with his face in his hands, and Dream collapses next to him and begins to just hug him. He messages Bad and tells him that there's been a change of plans and that Bad needs to come to them. Bad agrees.
IMAGINE DREAM FINDS A FUCKED UP TOMMY, HE'S CRYING AND SHIT, ALSO PROLLY DRUNK??? LIKE STOLE LIQUOR FROM WILBUR (or imagine they find Tommy cause he broke into their base and stole all their liquor- LMAOOOO-) AND IS FUCKING H A M M E R E D AND DREAM HELPS HIM, BEING SOFT N SHIT, LETTING HIM SLEEP IN DREAMS BED, AND WHEN TOMMY WAKES HUNGOVER AS FUCK DREAM ASKS HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND TOMMY EXPLAINS (god I cannot do ANYTHING that involves Tommy without adding angst IM SORRY) (you make up a scenario, I'm lazy) AND DREAM TAKES HOME TOMMY CAUSE TOMMY IS HUNGOVER AND WHEN SOMEONE ANSWERS THE DOOR (TOBY??? WE LOVE SEEING PROTECTIVE TOBY AAAAAAAA-)  THEY GET ALL PISSED CAUSE dream bad person, he kills us, and now he has Tommy who was missing all night, I wILL KILL HIM-Aa AND TOMMY DEFENDS DREAM AND SHIT AND THEN EVERYONE IS SURPRISED BUT THANKS DREAM AND DREAM SAYS 'don mention it' AND LEAVES AND TOMMY prolly gets grounded for life cause he got drunk and also went missing for a whole ass night???? lol loser)
imagine everyone (ie. dteam, l'manburg boys, sleepybois, the trio, etc etc) all have a job working for the mafia. after a mission (idk they steal something from someone, no killing cause a child is on the job), Tommy asks dream to give him a ride home and offers to pay for gas money. and dream's already taking out his keys like 'ur like twelve no you don't have to pay gas money get in the jeep child' LMAOOO
Totoro recasted
mei kusakabe - Tommy
satsuki kusakabe - wilbur
tatsuo kusakabe (their father) - Phil
yasuko kusakabe (their mother) - nonexistent. instead of a mother, it'll be a brother, aka techno
kanta ōgaki - dream
granny (yes that's her name) - uhhh fuck idk. I would say voiceoverpete but he sexually harrassed some girls so no. y'all can figure that one out ig.
totoro and the chibi totoro's are normal.
kiki's delivery service
kiki - Tommy
jiji - wilbur
lily - niki (:DDDDD)
tombo kopoli - toby (BUT ITS PLATONIC)
osono - idk phil (BTW, OSONO IS A PREGNANT WOMAN. SO HAVE FUN WITH THAT???)
fukuo - techno
ursula - idk fundy????
'dream looked at the crying teenager who was being held by wilbur. tommy was sobbing, coughing on occasion. bad and eret had quickly got off of the ground after comforting the younger teen and walked over to the rest of the group, either not caring or remembering that tommy was the enemy.
"tommy- why would you go out and try to negotiate with THEM?" wilbur asks panic and a slight amount of annoyance evident in his tone. dream whips his head up instantly, offended.
"you think WE did this? jesus wilbur, i know you think we're horrible people but horrible enough to do that?" dream questions, glaring at wilbur through the mask. e opens his mouth to say something but tommy cuts him off.
"t-they didn't-" he coughs harshly, "do it." he manages to weaky finish, burying his face back into his older brothers neck. dream doesn't know how tommy knows that dream and his group were innocent but is thankful that tommy defends them, because he knew that when wilbur gets angry, he'd call techno. and everyone is scared of techno. wilbur makes eye contact with dream or the closest thing they can get to that, and subtly nods his head as an apology. dream accepts it, knowing he would probably blame them if they were somehow in the same situation, giving the same nod back to wilbur. dream thinks for a second, just a split second, that maybe tommy was overreacting, but he quickly shuts himself down, chastising himself as that was a cold thing to think, even for the sadistic man.
because he knew, that at the age of sixteen, he would probably be crying if he had been almost hanged in front of seven people who were out for blood. even if he knew they didn't do it. which caused his heart to yearn to comfort the child even more.' ok so basically someone (we don't know who) sets up a trap for tommy that wraps a rope around his neck and hangs him, which goes off while he's trying to negotiate with dteam. dteam calls wilbur while eret and bbh comfort tommy, and everyone else tries to figure out who set the trap because even the dteam aren't sadistic enough to do that.
ok fuck it adding in other people
"Playing in the backyard, whispering in the dark, catching fireflies with mason jars." Wilbur says this line, talking about how much fun they had as kids.
"It's 2007, the closest that I'll ever get to heaven, but I can't see that far." Phil says this one, and flashbacks show four-year-old Tommy running around with his older siblings while Phil watches, as a calendar in the background shows that its 2007.
"You were just a baby, of course, you'll always be my little lady," Techno says this, and a flashback shows (now) nine-year-old Tommy after getting his haircut, and the first thing he says is, "I LOOK LIKE A GIRL!". A calendar shows that the year is 2012.
"But then you were free." All three say this line, each giving their own perspective on it. Wilbur thinks about how much he is pressured by being a streamer so young while dealing with people who tell him to ||off himself|| every day. Techno thinks about how much he is pressured going through highschool while being popular. Phil things about how much he is pressured by life in general, dealing with the pressure of upcoming jobs, taxes, love, etc.
"Before you started, bout what you were wearing, God you're turning into me." Surprisingly, Bad says this line. He can't help but think that Tommy is probably a little self-conscious, like him, due to some specific things both of their chats say about them. (I DONT THINK TOMMYS CHAT IS AS MEAN AS BADS BUT LETS PRETEND IT IS FOR NOW)
"I just wanna hold your little face, look at you and say," Sap says this line, smiling at how innocent Tommy can seem at times (COUGH COUGH CRAFTING TABLE).
"It's not as good as it seems." Schlatt says this line, talking about how much Tommy seems to wish to grow up (or become a become a buisness man).
"Cause growing up's forever," George says this line, smiling faintly as he remembers what he was like as a kid.
"It never gets better than being a kid with a dream." Dream (lol) says this line, speaking directly to a sixteen-year-old Tommy. A calender in the background shows that the year is 2020.
HERES ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A LIFE
Fallen Kingdom - Cover by Katelyn Lapid.
"I gazed off into the boundless skyline." It shows Tommy leaning against a railing over a cliff, staring at the sunset. He's crying. He's wearing all black. He looks dead inside.
"Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine." As the camara moves away from Tommy, it moves to a graveyard. On the gravestone that a crowd has gathered around is the words, 'R.I.P Techno. The king forever and always.' As the people (I.E, Wilbur, Phill, Dream, etc.) gathered around him are shown crying as well.
"Turn around, pick up my sword, and wield." Dream turns around and grabs Technos cape and sword, setting it onto the casket before it is lowered into the ground.
"The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield." A flashback is shown of Techno, Phill, Wilbur, and Tommy all laughing as they run through a forest.
"If this battle should leave me slain." A different flashback shows Techno talking to Wilbur, just before a fight (you can pick which, maybe the ender dragon?) telling him to leave him if he gets close to death.
"I know Herobrine will call my name." A little farther forward into the flashback, Techno is on the ground dying with Phill kneeling next to him, trying to help Techno stay alive.
"Better to take a stand." Wilbur and Tommy run over, just as Techno begins to lose consciousness.
"And that was when I ruled the land." Techno hands Tommy his crown, and then dies in Phill and Wilburs arms.
Yeah sorry for the angst.
Play Date by Melanie Martinez.
In the beginning, where the music plays, Dream is shown surrounded by the (dead) bodies of Sap and Bad, and then stalks George to his house.
"You call me on the telephone, you feel so far away." A flashback where Dream is shown calling their house phone constantly, asking where they are and mocking them.
"You tell me to come over, there's some games you want to play." Another part of the flashback shows Sap finally answering, and telling him to come over. He says that they just want to watch some movies. What Dream isn't supposed to know, is that there's a trap set up for him. (which fails miserably, and probably is the reason that Dream's mask is broken.)
"Walk into your house, nobody's home." George walks into his house, closely followed by Dream. George calls out for Sap and Bad, but their dead (obviously).
"Just me and you, and you and me alone." A creepy zoom in of Dream in the dark holding a bloodied sword. His mask is a little broken, and you can see him smiling. Sap and Bad are shown respawning in a field.
"We're just playin' hide n seek." Dream pins George up against a counter and holds a knife to his throat, telling him that he wants to play (drumroll please) hide and seek (wowowowow what a surprise). Bad and Sap begin to go in the right direction to where they last died.
"It's gettin hard to breathe." George attacks Dream (like a fuckin idiot) and Dream reacts by using chloroform to knock out George (which works.).
"Under the sheets with you." George wakes up in a basement, with a sheet over his head, with Dream sitting in the corner.
"I don't wanna play no games. I'm tired of chasin', chasin' after you." Dream says, 'I don't wanna play games with you, I want to marry you.' Bad and Sap are shown fighting some more mobs.
"I don't give a fuck about you anyways. Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?" George rejects him, and Dream says "I don't give a fuck about you anyways. Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?" (who woulda guessed?) but since George can't see, Dream starts crying. (Awww, almost feel bad for him.) Sap and Bad are now in the forest where they died.
"You never share your toys or communicate." George yells at him for always ignoring Sap and Bad, and only paying attention to him. He says that its Dreams own fault that he got kicked out of the group. Sap and Bad reach where they died last, and grab all of their stuff that will help them kill Dream.
"I guess I'm just a play date to you." Dream starts to kill George by putting lava around him, and the wooden chair that George is sitting in catches fire. Sap and Bad are almost there.
As the music plays, Dream leaves the basement, just as Sap and Bad arrive, now fully equipped with gear. They hear George screaming, and run past Dream, who follows them. When they open the door, Dream pushes them down. They fall into the lava and die, just as George dies from the fire.
Big Hero 6 Au (mostly here for the family dynamic at the beginning)
Hiro: Tommy
Tadashi: Wilbur
Aunt Cass: Phil
idk who the fuck techno is, you can write him yourself ig, but Tadashi's friends are Lunch Club :p
GOD I LOVE ANGST SORRY
Techno joins the server, and instantly starts beating the shit out of people (not killing) on the other side for what they did to Tommy, Wilbur, and the rest of L'manburg. As he corners Eret, he mutters, "Backstabbing bastard..." with a glint in his eyes, and raises his sword to kill him (You can even do a rlly cool shot of Techno's POV where he sees everything in red :oooo), he stops. You can see someones arms around his neck.
Tommy's hugging Techno, sobbing, and asking him to stop hurting everyone. Eret scrambles away, and (if you added it) Techno stops seeing red. The murderous glint in his eyes go away. He drops his sword and hugs back.
(Then if you want to contuine the comic/more angst, Tommy gasps suddenly. Techno instantly backs away. He sees a red stain on Tommy's shirt, near his chest. Tommy collaspes. Dream is standing behind him, smiling, holding Techno's discarded sword. Tommy starts to die, and Techno goes fucking sicko mode, and almost kills Dream [with his bare hands because Dream has his sword]. Techno can just barely hear Tommy call his name, and instantly backs away from Dream, running over to Tommy. He either A, brings Tommy back to L'manburg and heals him up, or B, Tommy dies in Techno's arms and Techno is scarred for life and vows to get revenge. [Maybe Dream gets scarred for life too because 'holy shit i didnt mean to kill him oh no i killed a teenager'])
Option C, WILBUR AND PHIL WALK UP TO THEM AND STAY WITH TOMMY AND TECHNO FOR TOMMY'S FINAL MOMENTS
option D, tommy starts to bleed out and they patch him up and he becomes delirious and starts talking abt how much he loves them (PLATONICALLY) and will miss them if he dies. they reassure him that he wont die, and tell him that they love him too, but he starts writing a will with his own blood (which they quickly stop him from doing) and then he continues babbling on and on about toby and fundy and everyone else fro l'manburg and how nice they are and that he loves them.
(he also talks abt niki and says 'shes really pretty and nice, i was kinda mean to her wasnt i' and wilbur smacks him on the head and goes 'yeah, be nice.' and everyone just laughs and- AUGHSHS)
when they get back to l'manburg and tommy starts recovering phil techno and wilbur all tell them how he was talking abt how he loves them and they all get him gifts and- AAAAAAA
tommy starts crying because 'oh my god everyone is so nice holy shit i am overwhelmed'
maybe tommy even talks about how he likes dteam too, and phil tells them what he said and they all soften and boom war is over. (when telling dream what tommy said abt him [idk smth like 'hes cool and nice sometimes and stopped me from drinking vodka once' and phil is pissed that tommy drank vodka but whatever] phil just casually throws shade like 'yeah while he took him home cause he was bleeding out he was delirious from blood loss and then started talking about how he looked up to you' and dream feels bad and stops the war)
suggestion: we all know sbi + tommy (TM) being siblings is the BEST thing ever, right?
what if we were to add dream???
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITES
tommy getting beat up at home even more now :DDDD but he genuinely looks up to dream (along with his other siblings) and tries to be cool and dream makes fun of him for it but secretly dream finds it rlly adorable and he and phil gush abt it together.
dream and wilbur never 'dated' cause uh??? incest is sincest. but the two are still rlly close and bond over their 's/os' being stolen by an e-girl (george and maia, niki and minx) (YES I JUST CALLED MAIA AN EGIRL, CRY ABOUT IT)
techno and dream having the BIGGEST rivalry (unless it comes to beating up tommy, they literally will ALL throw hands with him LMAOOOO) and get into 'play' fights all the time
phil and dream lit rally just vibin, like all the time??? although tommy getting beat up stresses phil out even more, but tats fine because phil doesnt need to know (when phil finds out theyre all gonna ge BEAT lmaooo)
he pretends he hates his siblings but he doesnt, and he gets into fights a BUNCH (not as much as tommy tho LMAOOO) cause his siblings are always fucking fighting and he needs to defend them like omg calm down
literally just beats up tommy??? like i cant stress this enough????? will see tommy making a sammich atlike 3am and he just??????? punches him like six times?????????? and tells him to go to bed????????????????? and calls him a moron??????????????????????? (he then tells wilbur and techno the next day, who in turn beat him up and threaten to tell phil) (tommy now has to make sammiches in secret) (poor tommy)
[My friend Pillar wrote this] im sorry but- techno and dream are close in age and go to school- and have half the same classes- and are competitive as fuck?? and phil is constantly buying bandaids because the two of them fight OTHERkids at school and EAChother at home
THEY TRY TO SEE WHO CAN FIGHT THE MOST ASSHOLES- 😭😭
"Okay so-" "I got like... 7 this week, theres no way you-" "HAH NEEEEERD! I got 8! AND the twins after science class- you *know* thats an extra point!" "Your kidding- no way! No one said anything about that, your lying!!" "Of course I'm not!" and somehow they start to fight
[i wrote this stuff] imagine dream gets a better score than techno on a test (both are RLLY smart LOOOOLLLL) and techno just like??? fucking kicks the shit outta dream??? and they both come home with like fucjing black eyes and bloody noses and phils either like 'omg whta happeened whtf' or 'goddamntpt agian????'
dream and wilbur dont beat eachother up (often) so everyone thinks theyre dating cause they hang out a lot and dont look alike and *thats* where that came from (they were quick to debunk the theory and were just- yucked out????) (is yucked a word? prolly not LOOOLLLLL)
tommy and tubbo are always fighting (i love writing tommy fighting someone/someone fighting tommy, fuck off) and people like ALWAYS side with tubbo no matter WHAT because they always assume he's innocent, and that little shit (hes a devious motherfucker im tellin ya) uses it to his advantage
tommy gets beat up (I LIKE THE IDE A OKAY????) because 'stop fighting tubbo, hes done nothing wrong' and tommys like 'nothing wrong??? ...HE FUCKIGN THREW A GLASS BOTTLE AT ME-' 'i did no such thing!' 'ITS CAUGHT ON CAMERA YOU FUCKING MORON'
TW: Thoughts of soup-of-side, thoughts of self harm, eating less, depression, bullying, drinking, sneaking out.
"tommy gets beat up by dream (in the sibling way) (TM) and someone makes fun of him for it and tells tommy that he deserves so much worse. the person starts to constantly bully and harrass tommy for no reason and tommy starts changing as a person because of it. he gets quieter, stops talking as much, stops going out as much. he stops talking to his friends as much, and he genuinely starts believing that he deserves nothing and that he's just a burden.
he puts up a facade around his family and, at first, they had caught on almost instantly. but now, after a couple of months of lying to his friends and teachers, his voice doesnt seem to waver as he tells people that 'he's fine'. his eyes dont sting as he walks away from people who bought it. he's better at lying.
he starts to hate everyone around him for not noticing. he wants to be helped, but doesnt know how to say it. he wants to take it out on something, on someone, but cant bring himself to. his temper gets worse. he starts sneaking out at night and drinking. he starts talking to bad people. he stops caring.
then dream goes to hit him again, and tommy just sees the bully, standing infront of him, talking down to him. he panics, and runs up to his room in the middle of dinner, locking the door and not opening it as his siblings ask him whats wrong. he ends up waking up to all of his siblings cuddling with him, and yet again, he breaks down.
they tell him how phil has keys to all of their rooms, and tommy tries to joke about it but cant, instead just sobbing. he tells them everything, about how he hasnt been eating much, about his wish for self harm, about how he wishes for death. everyone cries.
over several months (and therapy), they start to help him slowly believe that he is worth it. that he'll never not be worth it. that everyone is worth it. he stops drinking as much, stops sneaking out, stops listening to the little voices in his head that tell him that he's not worth it. he starts going out again, starts eating more, starts being happier, and he may not be completely ok but goddammit he was close enough."
its a slow burn but i LIKE slow burns ok.

hi! do you have any favourite fantasy/mythology esque sakuatsu fics?
Haikyuu SakuAtsu fanfic recs: Fantasy Edition!!!!
To the anon who requested this, you are an ABSOLUTE GOD. I don’t know if you know, but fantasy AND mythology are some of my FAVORITE genres of ALL TIME. STILL, I saw the esque and I ran with it (cause there isn’t a lot of like pure fantasy or mythological journey fics ie. my poor excuse OOPS LOL and I wasn’t too sure what would be okay on this list AHAHA), so if it’s not the right kind of fics you were looking for, I’M SO SORRY :((((((( May this rec list be up to your expectations!!!!!! (And if it isn’t, feel free to re-request :’))))),,,, ALSO, ignore me switching between Sakusa and Omi LOL.)
As per usual, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for each fic before reading and make sure you’re taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3
if you make me feel in love / if you make me open up by volchitsae (E) 6.4k // this is a reincarnation AU, and it has a major folklore/japanese-ish mythology (gods) element to it. This honestly MIGHT be my favorite from this list cause it’s just done SO well and I LOVE the reunion after the TRAGEDY :’)))) I’m trying to be vague cause I REALLY don’t want to spoil this fic at ALL, so PLEASE read it heh.
my love, take your time by bastigod (T) 9k // this is another reincarnation AU, but this time it’s with greek-ish mythology :’D However, the fantasy part of it is kinda on the back burner (ahaha oops LOL). It becomes more apparent near the end of the fic, but the build up to it is worth reading, which is why it’s here LOL. I love how they added Sakusa’s own memories concerning certain things, and how he collected pieces of them in the museum! The writing is so good, but also, I’m a sucker for Omi making lists relating to Atsumu hehe.
your flame will not survive in this cold tundra by awkwardedgeworth (T) 26.5k // this is an AtLA AU, but even if you don’t know the show, you’ll still enjoy it! I absolutely love this fic and the plot is really AMAZING and asihfkjahsdkfjak their DEVELOPMENT. Especially with the separation of POV’s in both chapters (and what we get to see which we didn’t previously) UGH,,,, it was so GOOD. (Their other AtLA AU fics are really good too, so don’t be shy, go read them as well LOL.)
one life, one encounter by bastigod (G) 5.7k // this is a japanese-ish mythology AU, with our first appearance of foxsumu. We do stan Kita-san and Sakusa being friends with one another in this house :D This fic was really cute and Sakusa is so baby in this (but in a GOOD WAY), and when he talks to Atsumu at first,,, HE SOUNDED SO LONELY LIKE I’LL BE YOUR FRIEND :((((((
give me a moment so devoted by volchitsae (T) 4.5k // immortals! YES! I really really like this one and I think that their relationship in it was SO cute. I am really into the idea of Atsumu being insufferable throughout Omi’s lifetime and them having INSIDE JOKES AHHHHH. It’s really light and fluffy so if you just want some love in your life, this is the read :)
show you my best disguise by volchitsae (T) 5.1k // this one has NICE Sakusa in it (which I think should be more common fight me) and their relationship with one another is actually good from the beginning :D I love how naturally it progressed and how we get to see the habits slowly build as they spend time with one another. Very good fic, but not lots of magic until the end LOL. (There’s also a lot of poetry LOL.)
both our hands speak for us and complicate it by volchitsae (M) 8.6k // MAGIC/superpowers :D FIRST, the puns are such a nice touch to this fic and SECOND we do love the yachi/yama agenda being pushed here. I really like the conditions Sakusa’s powers have, and how that added to the plot (and the ending for that matter, may there be a universe where they can touch LOL). Honestly, the magic is also kinda back burner for this one and it focuses more on relationship dev. but it’s still a fun read so I added it LOL.
Rain and Its Incendiary Properties by firtree (M) 24.5k // so we get some Sakusa turning into vampire backstory in this one, and the revelation of more mythical beings LOL. Bless Komori and tbh Suna for being some MVP’s in this fic, we do love the familial bonds :)))) But also, the knowledge at the end does give some second hand embarrassment so brace yourself LOL.
two slow dancers by orphan_account (T) 1.2k // AHHHHHH BLOND SAKUSA! Also, yes another vampire fic. What? Sue me. This is just a load of fluff and sap from Atsumu, and warning: there ARE twilight references in this one ahahahaha. (If you thought that with this many vampire fics on the list, you would be safe from twilight, you obviously thought wrong.)
crimson colored lotus by sieges (M) 16.5k // this was a demon slayer AU LOL. TBH I haven’t watched DS, but you honestly don’t really need to in order to read this LOL. It’s explained really well and the writing is AMAZING! It’s not a linear fic, but you can read it in order if you so choose. I know it’s a stretch for this list, but it’s just that good, okay? LOL.
how can I not be moved (by you) by Ann1215 (T) 26.4k // this has warlock Atsumu (with an actual REASON for his blond-ness that isn’t Osamu) and halfling Sakusa, who is eventually a sap LOL. I really love fics with familiars and animals so this fic was one that I really liked hehe. The ending? Embarrassing but we do love the love LOL. Also the second part with Atsumu’s POV, FLUFF like, yes please give me all the love :DDDDD
enchanted to meet ya by zantetsvkens (T) 4.8k // FAST BURN but it makes sense. I agree with the a/n at the end for the confession, so there’s that LOL. I liked this one because the tactful provoking was SO good and funny for that matter HAH. But Sakusa WOULD be more concerned with the window costs than Atsumu’s wellbeing (it had to have been said).
when morning comes we'll be safe by bestcarrot (T) 2.7k // another demon slayer AU even though I’ve never read or watched ds? Yes. Again, sue me. I know it’s teeeeeeechnically a stretch BUT fox demon Atsumu...... (Also it’s written so well I felt like I needed to add it okay? :’)))))) AND yes, I WAS holding onto the no character death (YOU SHOULD TOO), the close ending was scary.
a boy is a thing with fangs by unthank (T) 3.5k // foxsumu! ngl I’ll just be straight up honest with you all, I added this for the response Sakusa has to Atsumu when they’re watching SunaOsa play shogi in the next fic LOL. I thought it was so funny and perfect for that moment please. Just,,,, forgive me once AHAHAH.
Falling For You (Literally) by Anubis_2701 (T) 6.5k // clumsy Atsumu makes me feel some type of way LOL. This is another NICE, soft Sakusa fic (like i said we need more: me pretending like I don’t see the tag for it LOL) and it’s just really cute. There’s some medical tings that occur (cause Omi is literally a magical medic LOL), but it’s just very FLUFF hehe.
The curse of a blessing by basinnit (E) 7.8k // CHECKING WARNINGS AND TAGS!!!!!!! I felt like I knew what was going to happen, but DENIAL IS NICE OKAY. Honestly, it seems short with it’s 7.8k word count, but with the number of mental breaks you’re gonna need,,,, it’ll seem long. Also, yes Atsumu punching people (one person in particular) because I would’ve too and I love that person >:((((( It looks scary and confusing with the tags, but I’d read it anyway LOL. (If you’re wondering, the magic is that Suna and Sakusa are warlocks LOL.)
The Fox Prince by cinnamonlove (T) 13.1k // okay there are some INSULTS thrown (and lots of cursing LOL) and so TW: LOTTA CURSE WORDS. Aside from that, we see once again MVP Komori making an appearance, but also vulnerable SakuAtsu near the end :0 It’s definitely an interesting fic, so that’s why it’s here LOL. (Also it’s like fake foxsumu but not really,,,, you’ll understand.)
the echoing halls by ohwickedsoul (T) 11.7k // GAH THIS ONE WAS SO GOOD. To read it though, some background knowledge (or google LOL) is needed cause the mythology references are very strong in this one. But I love when Sakusa was so desperate (honor’d light AUAHFKJDHFKJS) and Atsumu was aboutta (basically) punch him LOL. V GOOD V CUTE IN LOVE? I AM.
Did I just take this ask as an excuse to read a crap ton of fantasy/mythology AUs instead of doing any of my other work? Yes, yes I did. Also, I know it’s kinda short (LOL NOT ME SAYING THIS but I did NOT (surprising IK) put some of the fics I liked D:), but I tried to REALLY narrow it down a bit hehe. I hope I didn’t miss too many good ones, and I’m sorry for not really staying on ‘topic’ LOL. I realized while re-reading these that a lot of them are just Atsumu like meeting Sakusa by chance and being like dang, he’s hot. Gotta bother him forever ig? Thank you for the ask, it was really fun and I hope you liked the fics hehe :)

I don’t know why you turned that comment in a sansan meta, but anyway in my opinion Book!Theon is narratively more important than Sansa and Jamie. What the show did to him was horrible, and I hate that when they talk about Sansa and Jamie they always dismiss Theon. You have no idea of how many times I have seen people say that Sansa is a main character while Theon is a secondary one, if she’s so much more important than him, why did they give her his storyline
I did beeecaaause people putting sansa over 90% of the other characters is also rooted in ignoring that san/san is a thing because it negates what 70% of her storyline is about so they have to give her other people's also i felt like ranting X°D also under the cut bc it got long
that said I 100% agree that what the show did with theon was complete shit and the fact that they gave s. his storyline was criminal because it was tailored to him and it made no sense to give it to her but I'm not so sure he's narratively more important than she is or that jaime is, in the sense that speaking as someone whose third-fave is theon (like my top five is robb brienne theon jaime davos and sansa these days is like... top 20 or 15 at most but idk just to point out that technically I like him better than both jaime and sansa) idt that they are there for the same purpose and theon has less technical narrative weight than she does if only because for now he's been like... the indirect catalyst of a few events but imvho he's there because george wanted to write that story (as in: the ptsd recovery/identity reclaiming/deconstruction of the backstabber trope) and found a way to make it somewhat integral to the plot tying it to robb's demise but like I think sansa is more of a main in the economy of the narration bc she's in the middle of a lot more storylines while theon for now has been basically tied to robb's/the northern demise only and I'm not that sold on the concept that he ends up being part of the supermain political plot, honestly I think he's going to be part of the northern one and play some kind of important role but then he's most likely getting the nice house in the country with jeynep or something because his character is about overcoming trauma and surviving it and realizing what you want from life which is not necessarily a kingdom or posturing for others while sansa has to be at least in the middle of 'we're bringing an army from the vale' storyline + reconnect with jon/her other siblings etc (which is def. gonna happen just not as horrid as the show made it) and so on, so like... if I had to bracket it I think sansa is secondary main and theon is tertiary main and jaime is secondary main bc he's tied to the knighthood theme and the romance theme etc but like.... how do I put it
You have no idea of how many times I have seen people say that Sansa is a main character while Theon is a secondary one, if she’s so much more important than him, why did they give her his storyline
anon I was on the theon tag until the year the show aired believe me I have more than a vague idea of that and like... the thing is: anyone with more than two throwaway povs is a main in these books (I mean AREO HOTAH def is not but theon or sansa or anyone who has povs in more than one book is one), then there's the brackets we were saying (main five + secondary + tertiary) but like how do I put it, I also would consider davos a tertiary main character and he's in my top five, it doesn't make it less of a main? and the problem isn't that she's more main than theon, it's that theon's storyline is theon's storyline like they also gave jon's aegon vi's and it showed because it sucked, they split the joncon/aegon plot over jon, jorah, crsei and dany and it sucked because it wasn't their storyline, even if theon was a secondary one giving sansa his plot made no sense
but that stated if you wanted a srs reply to that: because no one gaf about theon X°D like I've been watching that shitshow since S2 and I can 100% assure you that in S2 everyone wanted him dead and in S3 when they tried to make him somewhat sympathetic everyone still wanted him dead, so since winterfell is a huge location and theon's adwd storyline is like the only northern pov we have they went like 'if we stick theon in the north storyline viewers will riot because they don't gaf about him so we're just gonna swap him with someone they actually care about' ie sansa and they thought it was smart thinking because they could do the whole fake feminism revenge storyline later and I'm dying on that hill and it had nothing to do with theon being secondary or not but all to do with the fact that the majority of the viewers wanted him dead back in the day imvho X°DDDDD and they took shitty decisions based on that without learning the main lesson the sopranos taught us which is don't give the audience what they want rather give them what you think is good for the story XD

I recently saw a heavy criticism of The Beach saying "it's the single least realistic portrayal of teenagers on television: spoiled, rich kids don't actively shun Zuko for having a disfiguring scar on his face, no one tries to start shit with Azula over the volleyball game, teenagers referring to themselves as teenagers, a teen boy tells people not to make a mess, a bunch of 14-16 year-olds sit in a circle and psychoanalyze each other, everything else about the campfire scene." Your thoughts?
:’) that someone looks at the Beach and dismisses it for being “unrealistic” by whatever their cultural standards are is probably enough of a sign of the irrelevance of said person’s opinion. I mean, obviously they’re free to think what they will, but...
Fire Nation society is not American society. I’m going blind here, maybe this person isn’t American at all, but somehow I mostly see such kinds of narrow-minded criticism from first-worlders who are seldom exposed to lifestyles outside their particular, contemporary bubble of experiences. 
Now then, let’s get into the actual debate: Fire Nation society values violence quite a lot. Fire Nation society is full of people who saw Zuko’s literal Agni Kai burning scene, and didn’t look away: the only character who does is Iroh, a very obvious hint by the writers that Iroh has discarded the cruel moral values the rest of the Fire Nation upholds.
With this in mind, a boy with a scarred face might earn all sorts of “ews” from our societies, damn right. From Fire Nation society, though? If even watching how the burn is inflicted didn’t bother most of them, why would the result be a problem? If anything, I wouldn’t be surprised if people with burn scars are even seen more attractive because it implies they were caught in violent scuffles with fire and still survived? Of course, the argument might go that Zuko’s burn is meant to be a mark of shame... but it’s a mark of shame for PRINCE Zuko. For that mysterious boy with the emo haircut in Ember Island, whose real identity is a mystery? It is shown, instead, to result in this reaction:
Tumblr media
Now then, we could say that this is meant to be a jab by the creators and writers at Zuko’s hordes of fangirls, because frankly, Book 3 has several instances of groups of girls swooning over Zuko and it might be what they were going for. In this case, though, they’re swooning over him WITHOUT knowing who he is, as opposed to the fangirls in Nightmares and Daydreams. So, while it absolutely can be inspired on the many Zuko fangirls the staff knew about, this actually ends up serving to characterize a society, a culture: they don’t think his scar makes him unattractive. It’s blatantly stated that their reaction is the opposite. So, instead of thinking “oh god that’s so unrealistic”, how about we actually stop trying to measure everything by our standards and consider that this could be an element of WORLDBUILDING...? :’)
(Also, I’m pretty sure there’s a fair share of privileged young women in our current society who think Kylo Ren was hot as hell with a huge scar across his face... are those people not real, by any chance? :’D If anything, they’re living proof that girls swooning over a scarred boy in ATLA are absolutely feasible, no matter if not everyone shares their opinion)
Continues under the cut becasue this got long....
Now then, Azula is shown to take the Kuai ball game too far. She outright causes the ball, in the final kick, to burst into flames and burns the net. Going by Chan and Ruon Jian, these kids are privileged idiots, why lie... but are these privileged idiots stupid enough to see a girl flying three feet into the air, kicking a firebent ball and then giving a foreboding speech, and say “OKAY WE’RE GONNA PICK A FIGHT WITH YOU FOR BEING SO COMPETITIVE!”???? I mean... honestly. Why would anyone do this? Azula turned an inoffensive Kuai ball game into a battlefield singlehandedly: THIS, as well, is meant to be a display of characterization. That people don’t take the game so seriously, that they wouldn’t pick a fight with her because she’s dangerous or because they just don’t care as much as she does... it’s characterizing Fire Nation people every bit as much as it characterizes Azula.
Azula and Zuko are both shown reacting in ridiculous ways to casual things in this episode: Azula takes the game too far, potentially stages the burning down of a house in retaliation for being rejected by a boy, Zuko is hysterical and jealous and snaps at Mai over stupid things... it’s, again, a matter of showing how poorly adjusted these characters are. They’re not normal kids. They DON’T behave like normal kids. Normal, privileged kids in the Fire Nation, are kids like Chan and Ruon Jian. The episode literally gives you the chance to see Fire Nation society for what it is, in a way no other episode does... and because it’s not like our societies, it’s somehow wrong?
... Also, teenagers referring to themselves as teenagers is somehow unrealistic? I mean... is it nowadays? I don’t think any teenagers had a problem with saying they were teens in my youth :’DDD literally remember MCR released a song called Teenagers and a lot of us loved it to pieces. What exactly is so outrageous about it? Might be that this worked better in the mid-00′s, but I hardly think this makes no sense? Aang refers to himself as a kid earlier in the show, is that unrealistic too and worth rebuking a whole episode over? Are all teenagers supposed to be pretending to be grown-ups, like so many 16-year-olds on Tumblr who always talk like they’ve figured out the world and try to impose rules on fully-grown adults upon whom they have absolutely no power? :’DDDDD Yeah, I think this particular point is a stupid thing to make a fuss over. Honestly, it is.
Chan tells people not to make a mess = unrealistic. Ha. Did this person ignore his reactions at the chaos Azula, Zuko, Mai and Ty Lee caused in his house? “YOU BROKE MY NANA’S VASE!!!”, anyone? Like... I’m sorry, but this IS characterization, yet again! This shows Chan is a spoiled brat who wants to stay in his family’s good graces. The party isn’t at all as crazy and wild as you’d expect from, again, an American teenage party... and why? Because, for one thing, Chan is clearly afraid of the consequences of too much chaos in the beach house: this implies fear of authority, of his parents, perhaps even his grandparents. 
For another, again, FIRE NATION SOCIETY: what does this clever critic know, by any chance, of Nazi Germany’s Hitler Youth? I’ve watched a few documentaries about it, and basically if you were a boy and you weren’t in Hitler Youth, you were no one. You were worthless. And what happened in Hitler Youth? Conditioning to the extreme. These kids were taught all the alt-right ideology that Tumblr despises, and they were made to believe it was an undeniable reality. Were there cases of kids who didn’t like it, kids who didn’t approve of it? Surely. But the general idea of Hitler Youth was to educate every kid to behave in the way Hitler considered appropriate, to the point where “the notion "Germany must live" even if they (members of the HJ) had to die was "hammered" into them.”
This is, of course, an extreme example and I’m sure Fire Nation education wasn’t that extreme because we saw it for ourselves, it’s not. But a slightly milder version of it? That’s absolutely feasible and consistent with what we see in The Headband. Therefore, kids getting high and drunk at a party? Maybe that kind of thing simply DOESN’T happen in a Fire Nation party? :’) Maybe they’re taught that those kinds of things are off-limits to anyone under a certain age (or outright forbidden, might be the case with drugs), and as they live in a tyrannical society that priorizes the Fire Lord and his decrees above all else, where his word is treated as that of a god, even mischievous teenagers refuse to act out? :’D oh, what an implausible concept, this just can’t possibly make any sense! Hitler Youth is unrealistic too!
Lastly, that a bunch of kids would sit in a circle psychoanalyzing each other seems implausible to this person is actually laughable for me. Not only have I constantly found myself, from my early teenage years to current days, serving as some sort of unofficial therapist for many of my friends, who share their woes and ask me for advice (whether they’ll heed it or not), most importantly, I once had an experience with a friend, back in high school, much like what happens with these kids in The Beach, after I’d spent years doing a lot of post-depression introspection. I shared a lot of stuff I didn’t often talk about, and beats me WHY I felt completely comfortable sharing it with my friend that day, but I did. She understood me, listened, offered her opinion, and we talked about her problems too. This happened when I was 15-16. If this person has never experienced such situation... why, that’s not anyone’s business. But it’s certainly not their business to determine this just DOESN’T happen, to anyone, ever. I can safely say it does, to people who do have problems and who sometimes just need a friendly shoulder to rely on. Maybe this critic’s life is just so perfect they’ve never had to share their woes with anyone else :’) I’m afraid that doesn’t invalidate those of us who are different, and it doesn’t invalidate the possibility that those four could talk, as they did, without breaking characterization, in the scene of the fireplace at the beach.
ANYWAYS...
Saying that a show about a group of kids who save the world and then effectively become leaders of such world, facing very little opposition in the process, is unrealistic because “teenagers aren’t like that becuase I wasn’t like that as a teenager” may be one of the most ridiculous and shortsighted things I’ve seen in this fandom, AND I’VE SEEN A LOT OF RIDICULOUS AND SHORTSIGHTED THINGS. A person’s experiences are NOT universal, regardless of how widespread their culture may be. More importantly, fiction does NOT have to abide by rules established by our current society’s state and cultural values. ATLA, as it is, is a completely different world from our own, regardless of its inspiration in many Asian cultures.
I, personally, find it a lot more unrealistic that Fire Lord Zuko can become Fire Lord without much in the way of visible protesting or boycotting when he was a banished prince who didn’t even win in his Agni Kai against Azula since it’s Katara who ends up defeating her and, as far as the rules go, Azula technically won even if not in the most dignified of ways. I find it even more unrealistic that LOK tells us Zuko was Fire Lord successfully for 70+ years and the Fire Nation has been fully reformed into a non-warmongering country despite the 100+ years of indoctrination started by Sozin’s rule. That this gets swept under a rug, not only in the neatly wrapped finale that leaves a thousand unanswered questions, but in the sequel show that merely confirms Zuko succeeded and shows NOTHING of how he managed to reform such a fucked up society...? That is a thousand times more important to me than “privileged kids aren’t acting like privileged kids OMG!”. Honestly, you want privileged kids abusing all their privileges in our society? Go watch Gossip Girl, I genuinely recommend it. You want something that proposes a completely different possibility and a glance at what a society guided by a tyrannical dictator looks like? Feel free to watch The Beach again with a completely different focus and MAYBE you’ll understand what the writers were going for.
If this person happens to see my answer, I hope they learn that worldbuilding, for a storyteller, entails CREATING a world that isn’t necessarily like the one we’re familiar with. There are multiple layers to such a world, and society and culture are some of them. Not all cultures and societies work the same way, which is part of why sometimes you’ll find behaviors from people who belong to wholly different cultures and wind up perplexed because whatever they’re doing is completely unfamiliar for you. Are there any universal behaviors in humans? Maybe! But in a work of FICTION, even the most universal of behaviors can be changed, deleted, altered however the writer sees fit! :’D it’s not a novel concept, and as far as logical fallacies are concerned, this show features a whole slew of those that have nothing to do with this peculiar sense of “realism”, fallacies that absolutely can and should be called out. Namely, things that contradict the internal logic of the show, rather than things that are incompatible with OUR world. Portraying a world that’s very different from ours, on virtually every level you can think of? That’s called creativity, not lack of realism. Please learn the difference.

EX#2!!! Later than I wanted to watch it but at least I got around doing it. And anyway I’d been accidentally spoiled about Doug not being in the episode much and that made me look forward to it less than I originally had... oh well.
Travis knows how to convince Kirill. Just appeal to his fantasy! :DDD
So basically Doug wears his stuff until he has nothing to wear anymore, whereupon he takes a day off to wash his entire wardrobe. Just... Doug... about your life and getting it together... yeah, please do that...
Seriously, why is he such a disaster... :DD
Mila... A pro indeed, and it was really nice how he & Kirill both did the thing with their voice switching from masculine to feminine and back so smoothly, it was pretty impressive.
Oh god, Travis and his rose. Oh god. :DDD 
Seriously, that was amazing. I can't even tell if it's just plain painful, or if it’s so painful it actually goes around and becomes kinda smooth.
I guess this is just saving on the animation budget, but one would have expected Max to wear a wig or something...
OK, the Yusef thing is a pretty standard standalone romance plotline for Kirill? Like, the one you see in similar live-action TV dramas with the MC and the Love Interest Of The Week That We Never Hear From Ever Again Because Status Quo. Normally I'd be enjoying something like this a lot more, but... *shrug* Sorry, I'm the cancer that’s killing fandom that fan who does OTPs, and it kind of tickles me the wrong way that we're never gonna get moments being framed as clearly romantic with Kirill and Doug. :D (With its own love song, too.)
Kirill is such a good person though, awww.
And at least Hosoya gets to do his ikemen voice, that's always good to listen to. Why doesn’t he get to do it more often, his voice is so beautiful!
And at least Kirill’s otomegokoro is now fully awakened, and we know that it’s weak against dudes who look just like Doug when they do romantic shoujo manga ikemen things, I can live with that. (I just hope Doug gets all the training from Mila to be able to do the romantic shoujo manga ikemen things...)
Still, Yusef looks way too similar to Doug. Even his eyes are green! (or blue?) I wonder what happened there - this show doesn't have so many characters that a design so similar to one of the title characters would just slip through by accident. Maybe Yusef is based on an previous Doug design that they liked too much not to use somewhere.
Kay... Kay, just... don’t draw, ever again.
DEANA!!! :D Thank you, Deana. :DDD
SO THE WEDDING DRESS WAS DEANA, TOO! :DDD Well, at least hte original idea came from her. She's such a troll, I love her so much.
So that was EX#2! To be honest I can't help being disappointed over Doug basically sitting out the entire episode. I mean, if at least it was a random episode in the TV show, but it's an extra! A bonus! And Doug's barely in it, sigh, extra sigh since it's an episode where Kirill has a quasi-romantic subplot with another character. I absolutely demand a whole lot of quality Doug, and Doug & Kirill moments in the last extra, to make up for it. 
And on that note...
ONSEN EPISODE, YAY! And it seems they're going to do the "onsen investigation" trope, those are always hilarious. :DDD
Derick & Mila are there too? That means Derick will find out about Mila... right? I mean, unless Mila spends most of the episode avoiding getting into the actual water. 
Or it turns out that he’s known it all along and was just playing along. I kind of want to see that happen, Derick just going along with Mila pretending to be a woman because he thinks there must be a reason for that and he doesn’t want to get in Mila’s way.
Or hell, Derick has known all along and Mila knows that he knows, and the joke’s on Deana & co... :D
TRAVIIIIIIIISSSS :DDDDD

Comic Con Berlin || 20-21.10.2018 (mostly my impressions about meeting Rooker :D)
Okay, well... I just had to make a post about this epic adventure here too. 
So, what to start with? Okay, let’s start from the very beginning. One night we were having a skype conversation with @magneto81 and for some reason we started talking about conventions. And Maggi mentioned that Rooker is gonna come to Comic Con Berlin. To tell the truth, I was thinking about European conventions for quite a long time - I have a friend from Moscow who went to a couple of cons in France, and her stories were quite inspiring. Also - ROOKER!!! So my brains immediately started to work. My Schengen visa is still valid until September 2019... I only had to earn a couple of days off (and some money)... So yeah, a couple of months later we were buying the tickets! It was absolutely unbelievable for me. Even on the plane I couldn’t believe that very soon I’m gonna see Maggi and Rooker (I was actually very excited about both these meetings :DD) I met my friend Katya in St. Petersburg and in the morning we were already in Berlin, waiting for Maggi’s train to come.
Tumblr media
Friday was really good. I met Maggi and it felt like good old friends meeting, as if we knew each other for ages. We walked around the city, did some shopping, talked a lot, then watched Blue Iguana in the hotel... Yep, that was a really very nice day. 
Saturday was the first day of Comic Con. We had tickets for Rooker photo op on this day, and I was NERVOUS AF! Really, even my stomach didn’t feel very well - that’s how nervous i was! But after some coffee and a morning walk it actually got a bit better.
Tumblr media
We had to stand in line for a while, but it didn’t cause big problems. We got in, listened to Billy Boyd’s pannel a bit, walked around the territory a bit and then decided to listen to Backstreet Boys pannel. 
Okay, there goes the most interesting part :DDD
So, we’re sitting there like normal adequate girls, I look at my phone and suddenly see Rooker live on Instagram. We switch it on, and we see that he’s hanging somewhere around the territory! And me and Maggi, being two silly psychos just rushed to find him! We run around the territory looking at the phone like “okay, there are shirts behind him... where are the shirts? and the sweets... Maybe here... No! The ceiling looks different! Wait, I know!...” Lol, we were sooo silly, omg! And finally we found him! So at first we were just following him making videos with our phones, but at some point I realized that I’m walking really close to him. So... It was now or never! I touched his arm and said “Hello, I came here from Russia.” “You’re from Russia?!!” Michael exclaimed and this is how our a bit awkward conversation started. Me and Maggi managed to speak to him for like 2 minutes and a half and later we managed to download this insta-live and now we have it and it’s so cool! It’s even better than a selfie! Yes, we looked like fangirling idiots, but OMG WE DIDN’T FORGET HOW TO ENGLISH and it’s already good. I’m kinda proud of us because we were shaking, but still managed to speak. Though I mostly talked about my friend Olga. She was so hoping to meet him at Moscow Comic Con, but it didn’t happen. But I knew she wanted it so much and it was the least we could do for her. And Rooker was SO NICE!!! So simple... I have some experience in catching celebs, but there were mostly Russian (and some German) rock musicians... And he’s the first like.. Hollywood star I’ve ever met! And I knew he’s cool, but I never thought he’s THAT adorable! He hugged me twice and when we were back to Katya I was shaking, sweating and overall was a complete mess, but a very happy mess :DDD We watched Rooker’s pannel (he was AWESOME) and then walked around some more until our photo op.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We were really happy that we managed to catch Rooker before the photo op, because we were totally less nervous. The photo op went very fast and of course I look like a silly happy hamster, but... who cares! He held my hand and yep... I was really happy %)
Tumblr media
But there was one more thing. I had a gift to Michael. I drew a picture of him as Yondu ages ago actually and I realized that he probably gets a lot of much more beautiful presents, but... I still wanted to give it to him. I wanted to do it at the photo op, but it wasn’t very convenient and the staff guy told me that I should better wait for him at the place where he gives the autographs and give him my present there. I thought that maybe I won’t be allowed to do that if I’m not gonna buy the signature, but it was okay, no one told me to go away or something. 
So, I approached Michael for the 3rd time that day and I still was shaking. But I took a deep breath and gave him my drawing and a card with my city. He was very attentive, asked me about the card and I explained him about our region and my small town near the Northern Dvina river and the White sea... He listened very carefully and held my hand again, omg! He said it’s great that I managed to come from the place so far away and that my drawing is beautiful and then he was like “It’s so sweet of you, let me sign your... your... your badge!” Yep, I had leather ravager badge on my jacket (thanks to my friend Olga once again!) And of course I wasn’t against it! So he signed my badge FOR FREE, and I didn’t even ask for that, he did it just because he wanted! And then we hugged again and I was so overwhelmed!!! And my girls weren’t around (they went to buy some water) and I needed them so much, I just needed some support %)))
Tumblr media
Finally Maggi came to rescue :DD When I told her what happened, she got inspired too, and decided to give Michael the drawing her son made for him (Yondu as well). And he was super nice with her too and he signed the drawing and wrote something like “Good job, keep it up!” It was really the best thing he could do :)))
Tumblr media
Here are our drawings, btw:
Tumblr media
So yeah... It was really one of the happiest days of my entire life and I still have no idea what did I deserve it all for. I was really excited about this trip, but I could never imagine that it would be THAT successful!
Michael Rooker is an amazing and adorable human being, God bless him!!!
On the second day we didn’t get hugs for him, but it really would be too much, I guess :’DDD But we managed to take really nice seats on his pannel and enjoyed it a lot :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also we grabbed a couple of lollipops from Michael :)))
Tumblr media
Overall day 2 was quite relaxing after such an intense first day... But there were really good moments I’d like to point out:
We tasted Twinkies! Yep, those Twinkies from Zombieland! :))) 
Tumblr media
 Aaaaand... We hugged Billy Boyd! Aw, Billy Boyd is such a sweetheart :))) He asked us where are we from and when me and Katya told him we’re from Russia, he was like “Oh, I don’t know anyone from Russia!” And we were like “Well, now you know US!” :DDDDD It was really cool and really sweet :))
Tumblr media
So... Yeah. Conclusion:
Comic Con Berlin was AMAZING! Rooker was AWESOME! Billy Boyd was ADORABLE! Cosplayers were BEAUTIFUL! Organisation and atmosphere - greatness. Plus - I had a REALLY GOOD COMPANY! So all I can say is that it was one of the best weekends in my life so far. I’d love to turn back time and do it all AGAIN! :))))
Thank you guys for reading ;)

#5 - Oh man, reading your latest chapter, lots of tension, I caught myself mouthing, ‘don’t do it! Don’t do it! Don’t do it!’. ...Aaaaand, she’s done it. Fuck! No idea where it’s going at all, good stuff! Anyway, this also made me think, how much blame do the refugees place on Serena individually? Everyone is at least okay sitting in the same room with her, begrudgingly, of course, but still. They don’t know how cruel she was to June, and if they don’t think she’s directly responsible for
the rise of Gilead, I guess they can tolerate to a degree. I am still not clear on how involved she was, either. She was the face of SOJ in the beginning, then got pushed aside eventually. We know she was pushing for “fulfilling one’s biological destiny”, to be honest, in the face of extinction, it’s not really an outrageous stance(I’d let the human race die out, but surely I am in the minority). And she did help write the law to take away women’s right to read and write. So that’s reallyfucked up, but what exactly is “help”, that could go a lot of different ways, I think. Anything else? Which happened first, the theater scene where they found out the bombing of 3 branches? Or when she was about to give her speech, and was told by Fred they said no thanks. That’ll determine whether she was part of the planning, maybe? Anyway, I am planning a rewatch before season 3 premiere, hopefully I learn something new...
------------
>:DDDDD 
Heh. I’m glad it came out like that cos that’s what I felt writing it!!! I was hoping it came across the way I wanted. Like, you just really don’t want this dumbass to pull her usual shit... but alas...
You know, I’ve wondered that myself--just in general, even in canon. Cos the only thing we really see is 2x09 and none of the Osborne crew seem to particularly notice Serena whatsoever. They’re focused on Fred and his demonself. Luke and Moira are specifically targeting him and sort of just... ignore Serena. So, I would assume there’s sort of “Well, she’s just his wife.” But then when you think about Moira, she was way more informed than Luke and you’d think she’d know Serena was the face of the movement at the beginning at least. Hanging out with activists and feminists like Holly, you’d think Moira would be well aware of Serena’s famous “domestic feminist” book and her role in the whole movement that eventually led to Gilead down the line. Even in my most basic feminist philosophy courses, we read pieces and books by anti-feminist writers. 
So Moira staying completely schtum over Serena was interesting. Either she doesn’t know, or doesn’t think Serena contributions were that influential, or she doesn’t care cos Fred is the worse of the two. She is strictly focused on Fred. I think Moira could reasonably assume that June’s suffered because of Serena, as any Handmaid will undoubtedly suffer as a Wife just stands idly by--at best, and aggressively participates in her abuse at worst. Moira has no way of knowing which Serena was without speaking to June about it. I think she could assume Serena’s not just a meek wallflower but regardless, in canon, Moira seems to not really care about Serena one way or the other. She’s a nonentity.
I’m also unsure exactly what the Canadians (esp. the govt) know. They seem to know about what happens in Gilead but how much of Serena’s specific contributions? Like there are 3 people who hint at things towards Serena: Tuello, the Foreign Affairs minister, and the lady with the kid at the elevator. The latter two could easily be talking merely about Serena being an active perpetrator of terrible things against women, someone who maintains the status quo.
Tuello’s the only one who mentions that she’s betrayed her country, and he’s “read a lot about her”. But what any of that really means and more importantly, whether he was being honest about her reward for flipping on Gilead is debateable. He seemed genuine in giving her the offer of freedom, writing a book, Hawaii, and a baby. They clearly don’t think she’s a terrible war criminal if they’re gonna let her off the hook that easily. The propaganda and intel she could give them is apparently worth way more than holding a criminal accountable. So to me, iff he’s not lying just to get her onto American soil where they can put her on trial and execute her, that would imply that either the US government doesn’t know how involved she was in the bombing of DC, or they don’t care cos she’s worth more as a tool rather than an example, or she wasn’t actually that involved and they know it. 
Cos, really, all we know is she and Fred talked about bombing DC--somehow--but again, by that point it seemed Serena was out of the important discussions anyway cos Fred was bitching about how the SOJ don’t have any balls and he was waiting on them for approval. And that was also before she wrote a second book (that she would never end up needing to write). So, really how much did Serena participate in the overthrow? Did she at all other than chatting about it with Fred? Was it her idea that he ran up the flagpole to the committee bigwigs? (I suspect this option was the case. She seems much more certain about it than he does, and he says “we proposed”. This would also explain why no one really knows her full involvement cos it was all done via Fred, like everything). We already know she wasn’t involved in anything related to Handmaids, or the Colonies, or basically any of the actual working reality of Gilead. She just maintains it and profits from it.
Anyway, in my fic/headcanon, I have Moira knowing more details about Serena’s behaviour than she seems to in canon but possibly not the worst bits because June would have to share those, and while I think she would open up about a lot of her experience, I feel like she wouldn’t rehash everything. So Moira would know that Serena basically represents everything she’s against, and, someone who has directly hurt June. But I think she’d still see Fred as the ultimate evil. And honestly, June is the most important person to Moira so she’d put up with shit she doesn’t agree with for her best friend’s sake. She doesn’t strike me as someone who gives ultimatums to her friends. Personally, that rarely works out well for the person giving them and at this stage, with all their experiences, I don’t think either of them would want to put the other in a position that would strain their friendship at all. It’s too precious.
We know she was pushing for “fulfilling one’s biological destiny”, to be honest, in the face of extinction, it’s not really an outrageous stance(I’d let the human race die out, but surely I am in the minority).
(Shhh... I’m with you. I’d rather we all just die out if it came down to that.) And also, I have to agree that Serena’s stance is actually not all that outrageous if healthy birthrates/infant survival rates fell by 60% in a single year and humanity was facing extinction. Would I advocate for forced pregnancies? No, of course not. But insisting women take seriously their “biological destinies” is actually not radical at all. I have this rant in my drafts about this whole issue and how what Serena is saying is not that different from what I argue the majority of people on this planet already believe. It’s a huge discussion but as someone who refuses to have children even though I’m perfectly capable of it, I’m constantly bombarded with the exact same sentiment, just put in more “polite”/less aggressive terms. But it’s the same damn idea. Ugh. It’s presented to me more like, “Isn’t it time you started thinking about having kids?”, “Don’t you want kids?”, “I want grandchildren.”, “Children are what’s important. Don’t you think?��� etc. etc. Just guilt trip after judgement after criticism after guilt trip again.
So, to me, I don’t think a lot of people would actually have much of a problem with Serena’s stance when faced with a birth crisis like that... scarily. The whole concept of no babies makes people freak the fuck out and go completely NUTS. (I think a lot about Children of Men when these sorts of discussions come up, and compare that with what countries do or have done to counteract falling populations.) I don’t think it’s much of a stretch. The whole Gileadean Handmaid system is a totally different monster (and completely ridiculous and ineffective and stupid, besides being horrific. It’s just... dumb.) but Serena’s assertions that women needed to have more babies seems fairly reasonable for someone to say and believe in the face of extinction. How they get people to do that is the thing I don’t think she really thought through??? 
That’s partly why I don’t really understand why she was so hated. From what I know about life even when there is no birth crisis, most people do think women should have children, especially after a certain age--whether they themselves want them or not. We owe it to other people (whether its a spouse, family, or humanity in general) in our lives to have children, apparently. My father actually mentioned something along those lines once. I apparently was a bad daughter because babies give people hope when they’re sad, and society needs hope therefore I should have all the babies I can??????? 
From Yvonne’s perspective she assumes Serena wanted women to save humanity. Which sounds rather noble really, and yes, it’s very much maternal feminism. “The world needs the work and help of the women, and the women must work, if the race will survive.”
[An interesting sidenote about first-wave domestic/maternal feminism is that it did not diminish the role of the woman. It actually held women had important, distinctive roles in society, the household, and politics. (Many of the original maternal feminists were also suffragettes...) Being a mother and housewife was a “natural occupation” for women. In contrast, pure domestic feminism at it’s core basically didn’t want women’s participation in politics, but wanted them to have more autonomy in their households. There is a distinction between them, but maternal incorporates domestic feminism and combines it with social feminism of the late-19th and early 20th century. Sometimes what Serena seems to promote is more maternal feminism than core domestic feminism. I mean, maternal feminism’s main maxim was that motherhood was the be all and end all of womanhood which sounds mighty familiar... and that women were biologically superior to men, lol.
Also, as a Canadian, most of our most venerated women in early-modern history (Famous 5) were, as it turns out, maternal feminists--amongst other problematic typically white feminist things lol. I always find the title of Serena’s book to be a reference to Nellie McClung, a maternal feminist who said, “A woman's place is in the home; and out of it whenever she is called to guard those she loves and to improve conditions for them.” That second bit is often left out, but I suspect Serena would have been aware of it as well.]
I also don’t think people generally take domestic/maternal feminists very seriously either. So for people to be so outraged by Serena’s book to attempt assassination? Either she did/said a BUNCH of terrible shit we haven’t seen nor heard about, or it was just a clunky plot device to make us believe Serena is Very Evil and Bad. Like, lbr, domestic feminism doesn’t cause that much of a fuss even on university campuses and as far as we’re told, the book is only about that. Nothing else. It’s about how women should stay at home, raise children, take care of their husbands, etc. Outdated, idiotic thinking? Yes. Worthy of a violent riot? Um. No. (And this is backed up by Yvonne’s take that Serena was NOT thinking about women being stripped of all rights, or Handmaids, etc. So, what exactly was she saying that made the kids so angry as to call her a Nazi cunt?) It’s all very nonsensical imo. I assume there was a bunch of anti-abortion stuff, cos that follows from her line of thinking. And I suppose that could enrage people... But what else? There are loads of pro-life activists everywhere all the time and none of them are getting shot at.
[I suppose a lot of maternal feminists have historically been proponents of eugenics (in the sense of forced sterilisation of the “mentally deficient”, not race based) so... yeah. That would make people get really angry, and justifiably so. They also have been nativists. I don’t put it past Serena to subscribe to that ideology tbh. But if she’s a true domestic feminist, that wouldn’t really be part of her core beliefs. If she’s a maternal feminist, it probably has more change of being in there. However, we don’t really see any evidence of what Serena actually believes other than women should have more babies and their place is in the home raising their children, not in politics. Assuming that’s what the Mexican ambassador is referring to when she calls “A Woman’s Place” domestic feminism. I think we can assume she probably had some pro-eugenics ideas, an strict anti-abortion ones too. And considering the real woman Atwood based Serena on, it makes sense she’d hold these views too. Although we don’t see her actively talking about them.]
“but what exactly is “help””
I also wondered about this. A lot. Like what does “help” mean in the context? Comparing 1x06 and 1x10 is just... ??? (But I yapped about that crap in my other rant haha. I still don’t get it.) 
Which happened first, the theater scene where they found out the bombing of 3 branches? Or when she was about to give her speech, and was told by Fred they said no thanks.
The way I see it, based on Serena’s wardrobe going more and more plain and conservative, I’d line it up with 
1st: Serena’s book speech at the university, 
2nd: Serena getting locked out of the meeting, 
3rd: the movie theatre bit. 
My reasoning other than Serena’s changing wardrobe (going from pants & styled hair & makeup, to plain ugly “modest” dress and plain LDS type hair style) is that by the movie theatre bit Serena’s at home doing flower arranging, and by the way she’s talking, it’s been a while since she wrote her first book. She’s just considering writing a second one about fertility as a natural resource. Also, the college speech/gunshot gave no indication that they were part of any organised terrorist group yet. It seemed to be just her and Fred--although clearly by the time Fred murders the gunman and his girlfriend, there’s some sort of militia group he’s in cahoots with. The only reason I place the meeting lockout in between is cos Serena still seems to believe she has some involvement with the committee but by the movie theatre time, she seems resigned that it’s only Fred who participates. Also, again, her wardrobe is halfway between the college scene and the cinema one, and it seems to be the final time Serena attempts to be directly involved and Warren makes that pretty clear.
Also, by the pre-cinema scene, they’re being followed by the FBI. I feel like the events of the college riot wouldn’t have happened (esp. Fred being able to point blank murder two students in broad daylight if the FBI was tailing him. Or had any suspicions about his violent coup plans at all.)
Serena just seems so much more resigned to playing the housewife role in the theatre scene than she does in the meeting scene. That’s just how it comes off to me. Whether or not I’m right, who knows lol. I also think the committee seems much more robust in the theatre scene than the meeting one. Like if you’re getting a green light for a terrorist attack on DC, I’d assume the committee has defined itself much better than it had in the non-meeting scene when Fred didn’t even seem to know the rules. It seemed like Warren puts the final nail in that coffin for women.
The only flashback scene I can’t figure out is the sex scene. All I can tell is that it’s before the theatre scene. It could be prior to the college riot, prior to the meeting, after either of those?? Who knows. It doesn’t really matter I suppose. The only point to it is that Serena calls the shots, and they’ve been praying and trying for a baby for a while. Meh.
I can sort of see how it could be argued the opposite way though... That the theatre scene happened before the lockout one, but I’m not sure. I dunno, I guess I could even see how you could argue that the college scene is after those. I’m not sure if I totally buy it though.
Honestly, if you figure it out, please do let me know! :D x

📒 📲 🐇 (yes it's me being hella late on this ask games pls have mercy) ♡
Hello pretty prince David. Okay Ill do this...its okaay to be late XD :DDDDD
📒- For a secret journal/diary they keep (Bonus: Share an entry from it!)
So I had a diary back when I was 10yrs old but it was so cringe so I burned it lol. Literally BURNED IT. FOR REAL!! At least the burning part felt fun?? :3
But I did have an old online secret journal I wrote in when I was stressed sometimes or got ideas. But that is a very weird entry, and it is really just made for myself. It was a way to put my thoughts down in words and try to work on character development. It went great because now I am very proud of who I am as a person....But i really have no idea how this will be for anyone else reading it XD. But Yeah I can share something here with you from that one. Im currently trying to crack the passward for it...lol but I seem to have forgotten it...so Ill press “forgot password” and open it...
Okay here it is:
Can you really say you are a good person if you are not proud of your own development?
-As a friend; be loving, be caring, be encouraging and be motivating to others. When leaving an interaction with someone i want them to be happier than they were beforehand. Make them feel important! They are existent! Listen to their goals and encourage, smile!! SMILE SMILE!!. -As a worker; "try your absolute best and leave the rest upto god", when doing so...there will be a sense of relief after living after that moto. The responsibility and the destiny of everything is ultimately not in your own hands. - As a mindset; I can be sad and depressed about the situation i am in now. But that aint gonna make anything come faster for me. Pray and work to better yaself. Patiently wait for the specific time and date God has planned for events to happen.-As a daily routine; Deticate your everyday to ONE thing!! One task everyday! One goal to accomplish everyday! That way, you will be feeling like you are making progress and not reaching the "lazy slum" even if it is ONE thing. As a daily routine; "Im bored" DOES NOT EXIST FOR YOU ANYMORE SARA!...I cant believe that there is nothing in this whole life you cant be doing right now? DO SHITS!-As an identity holder; Will you hide a part of yourself to fit in? If you put anything to the side for something in this life, then essentually you are puttin that thing infront of that part of yourself. (who cares if society hates u...as long as you r proud of you)
Hahahha...yee this one was the best thing I could find to post, some other stuff is too personal for so many people to see publicly. And it will prbly also bring down a lot of people’s mood. SO yeee ^^
📲- Talk about someone/something you dislike, but only pretend to like
Im sure you want to read drama...bcz u r obvious david, so here I go: Haha okay “someone I pretend to like” is one of my old classmates from middle school. This will sound like such a classic bish ass story, so if you dont want to read this cringe you are free to skip this. 
I changed into a new school during 8th grade and essentially became the smartest kid in the class. Which made the “former” smartest kid in the class pissed af. Bcz that bish had the biggest pride in the entire face of earth. And that person was very close to getting me kicked out of school because they made false accusations towards me and faked evidence. They also treated me like shit and continued to put me down everytime I accomplished something (example: during that time I won a lot of smart-kid-national-competitions) but I always answered with the biggest smile and thank you and acted as if I didnt understand their sarcasm for being toxic. I dunno that person is very close friends with a lot of my current friends. And Ive always said “I dont care if you are friends with them, but I will plainly say I dont want anything to do with them and dont put us in the same events if you ever plan something”. But infront of them I can still greet them and talk for like 5mins if I meet them...but I still hate them. Im just tired of fighting them (since that ended up being a lot of principal meetings bcz of their false accusations towards me that nearly got me kicked out of school). So less drama is the solution. That person is the type of toxic person that wont talk to you unless they are getting something from doing so. If its a false sense of “popularity” or help with a school project..or whatever. egoistic bastard. And apperently Im not the only one who avoids them sooooo.....ye??
🐇- For a secret item they keep (stuffed animal, comfort object, etc)
I only have one secret item, and it is my receipt for registrating to become a monthly donor for international aid in warzones/poverty...etc. I really want to do it for my own sense of sincerety and thus dont want anyone to find it and how much i donate...so thats that?
Make me spill some yummy secrets

I’ve never seen anyone look so pleasantly surprised in my entire life.) My Dad loooved it. X’DI asked my Dad for a toothpick a week before my birthday once and he didn’t have one.

My family (friends included), my pets, what’s right: if the world could be magically fixed but I had to die I’d do it on the spot.
75.do you give out second chances too easily?
I used to. But then I used up all my second chances on people who didn’t deserve them. Normally if somebody really seriously hurts me, I give them one more chance and make it very clear for them to please not do that particular thing again. Everyone makes mistakes, I get that. But if they do that exact same thing again, I’m normally gone. I’m done with waiting around and getting hurt over and over just to “be a good friend.” That’s not being a friend, that’s being a doormat/punching bag.
77.is this year the best year of your life?
So far, nope. We’ll see though!!! :DDDDD
79.who/what was your last dream about?
I think it was about Shameless?? I heard there was a trans character so I watched just those clips and I think I dreamt about it. X’D
Thank you so much for asking, Em!! ^____^

Critical Role Campaign 2: The Shipping Question
24 episodes in, I am starting to get some actual opinions on ships. As opposed to casual, on-the-fly opinions on ships subject to weekly changes. I have no idea if anybody shares these opinions or not, from basic search experiences I think they might be weird. Open invitation to discuss.
Jester/Caleb: At this point I ship it, partly because having gotten varying senses of various character backstories, motives, and dynamics I think this would be really interesting. I think Jester has sincerely been crushing on Fjord from the beginning, but Fjord whether he returns her feelings or not has been kind of ???? about his reactions at times. Jester’s first opinion of Caleb was that he is stinky and needs to take a bath. They’ve had arguments and made up, they’ve confided different things in each other, they had the waltz, they’ve had stupid moments with Caleb playing dead while Jester DDDDD’8′d over him. Caleb seems very much not the kind of man Jester would have seen with her mother, from his status to his awkwardness to his vulnerability. The Ruby of the Sea is not where you take your raw-wound psychological problems, she’s the high class hooker you see because you have an overwhelming love of hookers. I think it would honestly be interesting and show development if Jester started off like <333333 Fjord, who fits more with her ideal concept of a man, but ended up falling for Caleb without meaning to at all or even quite seeing it coming. I think it might be interesting and confusing for Caleb too, who is entirely too worldly in all the worst ways, ending up crushing on someone who seems very innocent but knows a hell of a lot in certain areas and is harder to phase than most. Also honestly, consider whether Caleb would ever consider himself as having any possibility of being picked over Fjord. Guy fucking hates himself, Fjord is gorgeous, Jester has flirted with Fjord openly. It’s kind of been taken for granted both in-game and out of game (given I mean Laura and Travis are married and Travis had some shipping pre-game) that Fjord/Jester would happen. IMO a twist could get really interesting and add a lot of dramatic tension in a constructive, character-depth promoting way.
Caleb/Astrid: I bet Astrid murdered her parents and is still all up in Trent’s business. This is going nowhere good.
Jester/Fjord:  Copypasting what I said before because if anything I think it even more now. “Basically, I think Fjord and Molly’s rapport feels much more fluid and like Molly is better equipped to shrug off the moments with Fjord acting abrasive. Fjord has shown hints of a personal darkness that I think is different from Caleb’s personal darkness (disclaimer I like both characters), by that I mean points where he shuts down other characters and puts them at a distance. He did it with Molly when he asked Molly something to the effect of whether Molly’s past was going to be problems for him (Molly) or for the group, Molly said at this point what’s the difference, and Fjord commented that one is Molly while the other is the group. Isolation “we’re not the circus” stuff, I don’t think it was malicious but I think it comes from a dark place. I’ve also noticed Fjord sometimes shutting Jester’s flirting down in a similarish way, which again I think is fine characterization, but it makes me leery. I think any ship Fjord entered that tendency is going to come up, but I think Molly is probably in a better place to navigate that.”
Fjord is still hiding a fuckton from the entire group, still is warm/cold with the entire group, and I think there is potential he could hurt or scare Jester in a really not fun way. Jester seems like she has an idealized Fjord in her head through all of their interactions and is more into the idea of him than anything. I personally don’t know that she’d be equipped for the reality.
Molly/Fjord: I think Fjord might actually be a Deep Scion, and I think he’s gonna turn out real twisted in a way where his memories might actually be fake or some crap in which case there’d be a lot of poetry with him and Molly. I also think Molly has considered Fjord an option so far while Fjord hasn’t entirely realized Molly is one, but Fjord has been more open, honest, and ultimately trusting of Molly even when Molly tried and failed to cast a spell on him. Like I said above, I think Molly might be more able to handle Fjord’s fjuckery too and just plain knows who he is better. It might be interesting to see Fjord go out on a limb and try something where he feels a little caught off-guard and unprepared too.
Beau/Yasha: I think Beau has been coming to care and worry about Yasha sincerely versus just thinking she’s hot (she got real worried about Trent knowing about her) but I still don’t know where Yasha stands tbh. I legit have no idea if it’s reciprocated or not, and there is a chance Beau could have her heart broken. It could still be interesting from a storytelling perspective, sometimes crushes aren’t reciprocated and it sucks but you can still get a close friend out of it. If Beau/Yasha doesn’t happen I’d like to see Beau find another girl at least. I thought her dynamic with her teacher was kind of interesting before (disclaimer: I am horrible at remembering names) and I could see something neat coming up with an NPC.
Nott/Yeza: Idk if people are gonna get mad at me for saying this but I honestly think Nott is straight. Like possibly even straight to the point that she hasn’t fully realized gay as an option people can do. I don’t think Sam is doing personal opinion shit when he has Nott mention stuff like “X guys X girls do the math” and has other moments of assuming straight. I think that’s specifically Nott as a character having very limited experience with any kind of concept of romance, but the concept of romance she does have is hetero. I’d be able to believe ace for her too if it’s framed as she has no concept of romance in personal experience and is building any commentary/opinion she has around hypotheticals, but honestly idk man. To me it reads like she might be someone who is just coming to terms with having feelings and hasn’t quite figured out other people having different feelings yet. I don’t think she has an issue with non-hetero relationships, it just reads to me like it doesn’t cross her mind as reflexively. I’d be able to believe she has feelings for Yeza, but I’d believe it if she didn’t have feelings for him too. I don’t think she has romantic feelings for other members of the Mighty Nein, at least currently.
Again, feel free to discuss and if you think I missed something honestly it would be cool to hear in on that. I do miss things and misread things sometimes haha. Also I don’t mean any of this to vilify other people’s ships or headcanons! I just like analyzing things and trying to make predictions or see what might be interesting.

NOOOO
peoPLE WHO DO NOT RESTRAIN THEIR DOGS JLAKDJSFLJASDF
I have a neighbour up the road who I’ll call Reggie who has a couple of black dogs. I thought they were labradors but their faces are squarer, but they’re too thin to be rotties either. No idea what they actually are.
ANYWAY.
He likes to keep his dogs in the yard without any restraint. This is an open yard, btw.
I’ve had issues with them before but since their last escapade with JJ they stopped leaving them in the yard unsupervised and I’d only see them if their owners were also out and the side light was on. When this happens so long as I stay on the opposite side of the road there’s no problem.
Tonight the side light was not on and nobody was in the yard. Doggy and I were on the opposite side of the road.
Soooo imagine my shock when two big black dogs come tearing out of the yard, barking their heads off, heading straight towards JJ
here’s the thing
JJ has had no qualms about swiping at other dogs before.
I’ve seen two dogs properly fight -- JJ doesn’t go all-in snarling her head off, but if a dog gets too close she will feint at them enough to make contact and one day another dog is going to call her on her bluff and go all-out.
Tonight, with those two dogs heading full tilt towards her, I thought tonight was gonna be that night and may have died a little on the spot
Thank
Fuck
JJ behaved herself.
She didn’t feint. She just stood her ground, barking back at them, and they came close enough to touch her -- 
-- and then abruptly veered off, back towards their house, like nothing had happened.
Cue me breathing a massive sigh of relief because I’d been psyching myself up to jump in and drag her away*.
(* Yes. I know this is a terrible idea. But if you think I’m going to let my dog get ripped to shreds by two much bigger dogs when my intervention could mean the difference between her living and dying, WELP, MEDICARE HERE I COME)
I’d been yelling at them the entire time, but Reggie, who swooped in to save the day the last couple of times they had problems with JJ, wasn’t anywhere to be seen this time.
I still had his number from when his (outdoor) cat went missing (kitty managed to get home safe and sound a few weeks later), so when I got home I sent him a text
basically usually I hate hints, but I didn’t want to start shit with a neighbour who might be on the defensive no matter how polite I was, so I tried to frame it as a “hey your dogs got out!” instead of a “hey can you please control your dogs” whilst hinting that my dog might have started shit 
He was good about it and fessed up that he fed them their dinner outside and wasn’t supervising this time and apologised, so I let him know it was all good
He’s a perfectly lovely dude each time I’ve spoken to him but man, please, keep your animals under control! D: D: DDDDD: 
Jesus I was so lucky JJ behaved herself tonight. So. Lucky. And so lucky the dogs turned out to be bluffing as well. I was so damn sure they were going to be tumbling on the ground. I’ve seen dogs fight before, our old dogs used to fight whenever they had the opportunity, it’s not pretty.

D-15: Where’s my Mistletoe? - Jisung Fic
Tumblr media
Day 1 of 15, NCT christmas writing countdown.
summary: Renjun invites you to a dumb Christmas party, and you only go for a chance to kiss your crush, Jisung Park.
word count: 1.7k
genre: fluff, semi-angst, christmas (taeyongtown’s christmas countdown 2017)
A/N: I haven’t written something since August. its dec 10 today. Anyway’s i haven’t proof-read this, and feedback and constructive criticism is always appreciated 🌟
christmas countdown masterlist | masterlist
You didn’t even want to be at this dumb Christmas party anyways, but ofc Renjun dragged you along anyways. Well okay he didn’t drag you along, more like guilted you into coming.
“Oh Y/N, you’re my favourite underclassman, and I do so much for you!”
“Renjun when have you ever—”
“like remember that time you got detention and I got you out of it? Or that time you would’ve FAILED that fundraising project if I hadn’t bought all the left over cupcakes or when—”
“Renjun I don’t even go to your school and besides he’s gonna be there—”
“and you’re telling me you won’t even come ??????? Jeno and I didn’t DIE for this disrespect”
As soon as you walked in, Renjun had given you a hug and greeted you warmly, and you know, you felt like it’d be fine, what’s the worst that could happen? But then, he flashed you his pure boy smile, and disappeared into the throng of student. Yes, throng. As in huge crowd. It seemed like at least half of SOPA was here.
Is Taeyong alive, and how did Renjun and Jeno fit in so many kids into their dorms ???
You already weren’t super close to the rest of dream, and really, you had only expect them to invite like 15-20 kids max, and here you were, stuck with at least 50 or 60 kids giggling and talking and kissing under the FIVE MILLION MISTLETOES SLUNG EVERYONE
Whos fucking idea was this ??
Yup, taeyong is definitely not okay rn
Take a shitty college party, replace the alcohol with hot chocolate and like fucking Gatorade, and replace the making out with giggling under mistletoes and that’s the hell that you were in rn
So here you are, sulking in the corner, not only bc you were surrounded by a bunch of infants, but also bc Haechan and Chenle were screaming with a karaoke station, and Mark was dying in a corner with at least a dozen girls holding mistletoes over him as Renjun laughed, and mostly bc Jeno had tried to get you to kiss a boy who wasn’t Jisung Park.
Yes, you liked Jisung Park.
While you had known Renjun for a really long time, and Chenle for around a year or so, you had only really met the rest of the boys a few months ago
Renjun often used Chenle’s house as a place to tutor you, as Chenle was the only one who lived outside the dorms
While you weren’t super close with Chenle, he was like an acquaintance who you didn’t mind
So one day, a few days after school had begun, and when Renjun was done most of his main promotions for We Young, y’all were at Chenle’s
Renjun said he was going to get busier and so it would be good to look at the syllabus to plan out when you would need the most help in tutoring
God bless that boy he’s so sweet
And it’s all calm and quite with no one around
Until Chenle bursts open the front door, with Jeno and Jisung marching behind him
They’re all a little shook, but recover quickly, especially Jeno
Ofc you knew who they were but you hadn’t acc met them, save Chenle
While Chenle sniggers in the background Jeno approaches you professionally “Oh Y/N, I’ve heard quite a bit about you, it’s lovely to finally meet you!”
Renjun puts him in a headlock.
Jisung, however, is extremely quiet and just makes eye contact and smiles at your from across the room smh
And I guess that’s why you kind of fell for him?
Bc he was around your age and he gave you the soft fluttery feeling that you had barely experienced before ?
Anyways, wow I rambled of course Renjun knew the minute y’all left, he was your childhood friend after all
And what Renjun knew, Jeno probably knew too.
And a small, just a tinyyyy part of you had been looking forward to this party
Because you really, really wanted to see Jisung Park.
But no, Jisung was sitting in the living room, wearing some dumb reindeer antlers,,,, giggling with a few of his classmates, some boy, some girls— most of whom were at least 7 hundred and 89 times prettier than you :/ uGh
AnD suddenly,,,,, you had an amazing idea :- )))))) Putting on your best smile, you went out to go search for Renjun.
You find him in the kitchen, refilling snacks.
“Ahhh! Y/N, I hope you’re having a good time !! See, I told you it would be fun!”
You smiled through gritted teeth :- DDDDD
“Yeah, about that! Could I borrow your laptop? I have a huge history project due, and my partner keeps asking me to Skype her bc apparently she messed up :/”
Renjun looked worried, but smiled
“Yeah, it’s in my room, feel free to use it… you remember my passcode right?”
You grinned and hugged him tight, as if the best thing in the world had just happened
“Yes I do! Thank you so much !!!” you scrambled, running out to find his room
Were you going to call a friend? No. You guys had finished the project last week. Were you going to take a nap? Yes, of course you were. Renjun rly wouldn’t mind, he’d be a little disappointed, but he wouldn’t mind, you’d had sleepovers before. It was 8pm right now, and if you set your alarm for 9:30, no one would even notice.
You hit set, and before you knew it, you were asleep.
Except you slept through your alarm. Not by a lot, just maybe thirty minutes. But it was enough for you to be shaken awake by Jaemin, a slightly amused expression on his face. You weren’t close to him, but you didn’t mind him, he was really nice.
Your eyes widened at the site of him, and you scrambled to get up. “Relax,” he giggled, sitting down beside you.
“This is about Jisung isn’t it?”
“Huh?”
“your crush”
“What no— I mean yes I like him— but no! wait what are you implying” you gush
Jaemin laughed again
“You probably wouldn’t hate this party as much as you do rn if it weren’t for Jisung”
you :///// “I guess,,,,,,,,,,,,”
“I say, just give it a shot, it almost Christmas, miracles do happen”
You throw a pillow at him
None the less, you grumbled and get up, tidying yourself in the mirror beside Renjun’s desk. You follow Jaemin towards the living room, and gasp. There were barely a dozen kids left, non including dream. You turn towards Jaemin, “what happened?!” “Most kids at SOPA are either trainees or some type of creative connoisseurs, we all need our beauty sleep Y/N!” Jaemin exclaimed before waltzing off.
You see Jisung sitting beside a few kids talking animatedly, but he himself was on his phone. You decide to take Jaemin’s advice, and go sit beside him. What’s the worst that could happen? “Hey!” you say, plopping down. Jisung looks a little shookt, but he smiles down at you, straightening up. “Hey Y/N! How long have you been here?!” “The whole time,” you say bashfully. His jaw drops a little, “What! No way, I mean you should’ve at least said hi :/ you have no idea how bored I was, everyone’s leaving!” he gestured around him, and that at the kids beside him who got up and walked towards Jeno, probably to say goodbye. You giggle, a little surprised, yet extremely content, at how bubbly and friendly he was being.
The conversation would’ve continued great, except…
“YO! Y/N” Jaemin yelled your name from across the room. You saw him smiling like an angel, and you saw, beside him, Donghyuck smirking like the devil. Donghyuck slung something at you and Jisung, which lodged itself in Jisung’s dumb antlers.
A mistletoe.
This was NOT the Christmas miracle that you were expecting. But maybe it’s the one that you deserve,,, ???
You looked around the room bewildered, looking anywhere but Jisung. You eyes settled on Renjun, expecting some help, but instead he just smiled into his hot chocolate. kermit looking ass. You narrowed your eyes as you realized it was probably his plan.
Donghyuck whooped, “GET IT JISUNG!” You looked down and shoved your face in your hands. Mark giggled, and him and Jeno yelled “Maknae on top!” “That’s so old…” Jisung mumbled, and when you snuck a glance at his face, it was bright red, even in the dim evening lights. Sensing you looking, he glanced up at your eyes, holding his eye contact for no longer than .25 seconds.
“Y/N…” he mumbled, his voice small and childlike.
“Jisung…” you replied back, a slightly shy smile on your face.
“I guess we have to Y/N,”
“I guess so,”
“May I?” He asked, finally looking up into your eyes. You nodded, your eyes fluttering close.
You felt him leaning in, and you did too, for what felt like a year. Maybe it wouldn’t have taken so long if y’all hadn’t been sitting a literal foot apart. You felt him place his lips on yours, his puckered and stiff. But it didn’t matter !! you were kissing Jisung Park !! your long time crush !! your face looks like that gif of haechan when jisung calls him ugly u kno the one. You leant in a little bit more towards him, both of you unsure of what you were doing, you trying to move your lips.
It was over before it even started, but before it was over, you felt a loud click go off. “My badddddd!” Chenle yelled, fake laughing, a camera in his hands. There was a brief silence, and then cheers. “Y/N I TOLD U CHRISTMAS MIRACLES HAPPEN! GET IT!” Jaemin yelled and you look at him, eyes wide in horror. “NA JAEMIN!” You threw another pillow at him.
Jisung ran his hand threw his hair, shy and looking like a baby chick. You leant forward and untangled the mistletoe from his antlers. He gasped, breath held.
“Jisung, I was wondering if you want to go on a date this weekend?” You asked him, looking directly into his eyes, a sudden wave of confidence over taking you. Jisung blushed, his eyes still wide, his face redder than ever.
“I would love to, Y/N”
