DEMO (TBA)
Tumblr media
Have you ever had everything you thought you wanted? Everything you could ever dream of just within your grasp? Only to find out it was all built on quicksand?
You were the lead singer in the most popular band to grace the music industry in over a decade-- breaking records, amassing fame and fortune, and launching your career into a height you never believed possible. Everything was going great, better than you could ever hope to imagine, until it wasn't. Until everything started to fall apart. The dreams you had thought you wanted, the life you thought you'd be able to build, began to crumble around you.
So, you did the only thing you thought you could do, you ran. Left the band that you had created within a garage back in high school, and the people that had been with you through it all, behind. Never thought you'd go back, that you'd simply fade into obscurity, but the past has a way of catching up with you. Even after five years of being away, you'll always find your way back home.
Just like you find yourself back in the world you thought you'd left behind for the Legacy Tour-- an event that could right all of the wrongs you had caused.
Will you be able to save what's left of your career, your relationships, and your passion for music? Or will it all simply fade away once more?
Faded is rated 18+ for explicit language, sexual themes, drug/alcohol use, potential violence, morally questionable behavior, and more!
✯ FEATURES ✯
Customizable MC: name, nickname, appearance, gender, hobbies, facets of your personality, various vices, public image, and more!
Delve back into the world of the music industry! Will your MC enjoy being back or secretly long for the simplicity that they have carved out for themself?
Create your own music! Will you share it during the Legacy Tour? Wherein millions could finally hear the true story behind why you departed so swiftly?
Engage in romance with a variety of characters! Some may cause more gossip than others, and be notable for the tabloids, but it's all in the name of love!
Interact with fans, new and old, and discover what they think of your departure. Will you be able to win some of them back?
✯ THE ROs ✯
Hudson Lock ✯ He/Him, 26 ✯ A fan that still remembers when you had met years before; citing that you're the reason he has pursued his passion for photography. His passion, as well as his fervent drive to do better, is something to be commended-- especially when it's focused in the manner it seems to be during the Legacy Tour.
"You've been someone I've looked up to for so long, I hope that I can be someone you can rely on when it counts too."
Noah/Nora Fox ✯ He/Him or She/Her, 28 ✯ Your oldest friend and the person that had helped create the band with you-- the only person that had believed in you during the earlier days. The very same person that can barely look you in the eyes, and has shifted from a happy ray of sunshine to the classic partier that sleeps around. Will you be able to fix what's been broken?
Special Romance: Choose to have simply been best friends with them or have been in a relationship prior to you leaving.
"I hate how much I love you sometimes, I hate that it's still your face that I want to see first thing in the morning and the last thing I see at night. I fucking hate that you destroyed me, yet you still hold all the shattered pieces."
Angelina Thorne ✯ She/Her, 28 ✯ The woman that has taken over for you within the band. With an attitude as fiery as her hair, Angelina isn't one to back down from a challenge, especially if she feels threatened. It'll take a while to break down her walls, but she may just be worth the effort.
"I don't know what bugs me more. The fact that you're here or the fact that I can't fucking stand it when you're not."
Elijah/Elizabeth Knight ✯ He/Him or She/Her, 34 ✯ Your old manager hasn't changed in the slightest; barring that they're no longer married. You don't know how you feel about the news, nor do you wish to comprehend what it could potentially mean, but you do know that nothing would ever happen as long as they kept you at arm's length.
Special Romance: Choose to have had a crush on them, but nothing ever happened because they were married.
"You are, and will always be, my only exception."
Jaime Winters ✯ They/Them, 28 ✯ One of the few people you've let close to you within your new "normal" life. They're not the most talkative person, which you can appreciate, but they always make sure you know that they're listening, and they can brighten any room with a signature smile of theirs. Plus, when they do get comfortable their teasing quips and sly remarks can lighten the mood if needed.
"You're still you. You'll never be anyone else to me. I don't care how famous you are."
Harry/Harley Sharpe ✯ He/Him or She/Her, 29 ✯ A security officer that's been placed to protect you, and the band as a whole, during the duration of the Legacy Tour. They seem to be overall a gentle individual, surprising given their career choice, but their drive to protect and serve creates quite an intimidating presence for anyone wishing to cause you harm. Will you be able to resist their gentle eyes and understanding nature?
"I don't know why this happened, or if it's smart that it's continuing to happen, but I can't stop. I don't know if I'd even want to if I could."

George Weasley - Delicate
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing : (F/M) || George Weasley x Reader Word Count : 4.1k Warning : Heavy angst as requested. Notes : I got a little bit carried away with this one.
Their laughter echoes within the walls of the Common Room. Her face was burning, both from fluster and the fatigued muscles of her face from the non stop smile. She was sitting the furthest from the fireplace yet she could’ve sworn that her skin was flaming in fire. Her eyes are glued on him, watching every gesture, every breathy laughter and every cheers he made. He was the centre of her life, the very source of her drive.
But she supposed, so is the whole castle.
She’s reminded every other time they have a conversation that she’s merely one from his long list of admirers. Being the calmer twin only meant that it was easier for girls to approach him. Girls would come at him, giving him love letters and other trinkets in hope to catch just a glimpse of his attention. And every single time, she has to pretend that the gesture didn’t bother her because what exactly could she do? It isn’t like she has a chance with him in the first place.
George Fabian Weasley was the definition of perfection. At least, in her dictionary. He was smart, within and outside of academic achievements. He knew exactly how to brighten the room, which jokes to crack and what prank to do to lift the mood. He was kind and affectionate. Everything a girl could dream of their knight in shining armour would be.
“Have you heard?” Some girl from her left whispered to another yet loud enough for her to hear “Fred Weasley has asked someone to be his date, meaning only George’s still up on the market.”
“Really? Who’s he going with?”
“Angelina!” The other girl answers “It’s no surprise really, seeing how close they are from quidditch practices.”
“I suppose so. Do you think George would ask someone from the quidditch team too, then? Alicia perhaps?”
“Wouldn’t be a surprise if he does. They’re like honey and bees, especially lately. I think they might’ve been an item already.”
She chews on her lower lip, trying to maintain the calm composure she’s losing through her fingertips. She too has noticed the not so subtle closeness George and Alicia have these days. He’s spent more time taking care of the quidditch equipment with her, coming to the Great Hall together for meals, and doing his paperworks together. All the mentioned activities, aside from quidditch practice, were normally done with her, not Alicia. To say that she felt replaced would be an understatement.
But she knew deep down that she has no right to ever feel disappointed and hurt. George was never hers to begin with. The sense of belonging was only felt one sided, never reciprocated by the other end. She was the only one holding onto every little mundane thing they shared as if they were her life milestones.
“Neville asked me to be his date.” Ginny says, whispering excitedly as she squeezes in to sit next to her.
She flashes a smile, squeezing Ginny’s arm in a warm response, “That’s brilliant, Ginny!”
“Mhm,” Ginny nods eagerly “Have you found a decent date yet?”
“Yeah, I’m not so sure that I’ll be going.” She says with a soft laughter “Balls and dances are not my thing.”
“What are you talking about, balls and dances are every girls’ thing!”
She smiles, averting her eyes back to the pranksters who are still cracking their jokes.
Ginny’s right, balls and dances are every girls’ thing. A huge part of her was screaming and hoping that she could go to the ball with her charming prince, spending the night as they waltzed to some romantic song, being completely intoxicated with each other’s presence. But the thought feels like nothing but a mere dream now that she uses her head more than her heart. Exactly how long would she entertain herself with the blissful fake scenarios where her love was reciprocated? 
“It would be a fun night, don’t you think?” Ginny asks, still persuading her “Imagine how beautiful the Great Hall would be, the music, the food, everything! And we get to dress up! Out of these insipid robes for once.”
“I suppose.”
“What is making you so uninterested?” Ginny asks with raised brows “If you can’t find a bloke worthy enough, I can ask one of my brothers to escort you. I’m sure one of them would be delighted to be your date.”
“No, please don’t.” She says fast, afraid the younger Weasley would pursue her wild idea. With Fred escorting Angelina and Ron who seems to be so determined to ask one of the Beauxbatons, George would be the only brother left for Ginny to ask the favour and although it would’ve been nice to have George asked her for the ball, being asked merely out of pity would be the one embarrassment she could not live with.
“You’re right. None of my brothers are deserving enough to escort you.” Ginny says as she watches the twins fuse a firecracker “You know what, the ball is still weeks away. I’m sure we’ll figure something out.”
She remains quiet, only replying to the redhead girl with a small smile.
She knew that the possibility of her being escorted by George to the ball was slim to none. The distance that’s slowly growing between them is becoming a hurtful thorn that’s piercing deeper into her heart each day. From day one she knew that there would be no chance of him ever returning her feelings. Why should he when he could choose literally any other girl?
—-
Her mind was loud. The ball is approaching close and there’s still no news of George having a date just yet. It was as if she was stuck in a labyrinth, every step she took led to another door that just further fuelled her insecurity. Perhaps George has asked someone in private, unlike his twin brother who asked Angelina in public. George has always been the more reserved twin after all.
But wouldn’t he want to share the happy news if he indeed does have a date? She knew that their friendship had been strained for the past few months, but something as special as a Yule Ball date would surely be something he’d want to share with her. She’s been his best secret keeper after all.
Understanding that slumber wouldn’t be her friend tonight, she peels herself off of her blanket and walks outside of the room. Perhaps she could ask the house elves a tiny favour of hot milk and biscuits to help. Or maybe a late night stroll would make her tired enough to fall asleep. Either of which seems like a better idea than to ponder herself with these unanswered questions.
Walking down the staircase, she could hear faint noise of music from the Common Room. Laughter was heard louder as she descended closer. There were two people, a boy and a girl’s voice echoing through the walls. One’s voice she would recognise anywhere anytime.
“Alright, I think that’s enough practice for the night.” The boy says with slight pants “I think tomorrow I’ll ask- Hey, you.”
She was frozen on her spot. The sight she’s just witnessed would be the bane of her nightmares to follow. There they were, her hands resting casually on his shoulders, big happy grins plastered on their faces. The very position she wishes she could be with him. Close and intimate.
“George, Alicia,” She says softly, forcing a smile and fighting the tears welling up her eyes “I didn’t mean to interrupt, I’m sorry.”
“Don’t worry, you’re not interrupting anything. We’re about to get to bed, too.” Alicia answers with a warm smile “Where are you heading?”
“Kitchen.” She says short “I couldn’t sleep.”
“Oh, can I join you?” George asks, a warm smile evident on his face “I could use a glass of milk too.”
She stares at George’s innocent eyes with defeat, thankful of the limited light showering them both so he wouldn’t see the disappointment and sadness she’s feeling. How could he stand there and still look as beautiful and charming as he always had when he’s just broken her heart into pieces?
“No, actually I’d rather you not, George.” She says softly, not being able to look at his face a second longer “I need some space and time alone with my thoughts.”
Without waiting for his response, she walks out of the Common Room in a haste. Her tears were flowing just when she reached the staircase, unable to hold them any longer. Her nightmare has happened. Every bad scenario she tried so hard to push out of her head has finally come true. 
George Weasley has a date for the Yule Ball.
—-
The following days have been hell. Hours spent detached to reality while nights would be filled with her silent cries. She has emptied her bottle of non-puffy potion to help ease her swollen eyes, but it was to no avail. Her sadness is bleeding out of her.
She’s tried her best to avoid George. Exchanging her seat in every class they shared and would leave before George could reach her. She doesn’t even take her meals on her usual spot at their table anymore. She reckons that her spot has been long occupied by another now that he’s got a new bird to entertain.
She knew that from the beginning she stood no chance to be with him. She knew that she was just another background girl in his bright and daring life, praying that with whatever miracle there is he would spare just a glance and wave her a smile. Yet with all this knowledge and understanding, why does it still hurt? Why does it still torment her everytime the memory of him and Alicia plays in her mind?
“Love, wait!” George calls, running and barely able to catch her as he pulls her hand “Blimey, do I have a stench or something? You’ve been avoiding me like I was the plague!”
“I’m busy, George.” She says, prying her hand off of him “Now if you’ll excuse me-”
“Not so fast.” He says, stopping her by placing a hand in front of her “I just need a minute of your time, please. It won’t be long. There’s something rather urgent I need to speak to you about.”
She wanted to flee from him. Run as fast as her legs could carry her and go back to her room, hide under her blanket and wait until the weeks passed. She’s demented enough, couldn’t he tell? What could he possibly want to talk to her now that he’s got Alicia? Couldn’t he just leave her be?
“Please,” George begs once more “I’m only asking for a minute of your time.”
Looking at his pleading eyes, she finally gave in and gave a slight nod.
He grins in victory, clapping his hand, “Right, so uh- Godric, I don’t know where to start.”
She stares at his eyes. A sense of nervousness was evident from his face. George rubs his palms to his trousers, trying to maintain his cool composure though it’s clear that he’s losing it. She wonders if these jolts were caused by his excitement for sharing the big news with her. A little bit overdue, sure, but it’s not like she’s given him the chance to tell her that he’s seeing Alicia.
“I have something to ask you.” He starts, a nervous smile decorating his face “It’s, uh, it’s about girls.”
She takes a sharp breath, “Right.”
“I, uh, I have a bit of trouble on said topic.” He continues, beating around the bushes to find the right words to say “You know how the Yule Ball is coming, right? And I, uh, there’s this girl that I wanted to ask to be my date. I know that time’s wearing thin and I should’ve asked her the first time the ball was announced but I just couldn’t muster the courage to ask her, you know? I don’t want to come as too strong or anything, she’s a rather special girl.”
She grips her robe tighter, trying to keep her emotions packed. She couldn’t break down in front of him, not when he looks like he’s flustered and in need of a friend to talk to.
“She’s a close friend of mine.” George says, smiling as he begins to describe her “She’s brilliant, to say the least. I just- I can’t find the words to describe her but take it from me, she’s the most brilliant girl there is.”
She says softly, forcing a smile, “You seem to be so fond of her.”
Fighting her tears, she wasn’t sure why George hadn't mentioned Alicia’s name once when she had already caught them red handed the other night. It wasn't exactly a secret for her anymore, so why not just say her name instead of describing how wonderful she is? Doesn’t he know that it’s hurting her?
“I am.” He nods, looking completely intoxicated with admiration “I’m head over heels for her.”
“What exactly is your problem with her then?” She says, sounding a little bit more rude than she expected to but she clearly couldn’t stand another second hearing him swooning over Alicia “You said you two are close.”
“I- Well,” George stutters, completely caught off guard from her irritated tone “I suppose, I wanted to ask for your opinion. If you were in her shoes, how would you like me to ask you for the ball?”
She lets out a scoff. Is this boy for real now? Asking how she would like him to ask her for the ball? Isn’t that just plain cruel?
“What do you want, George?” She asks with more annoyance in her tone “Why are you asking me this? I mean haven’t you been occupied with Alicia lately? Shouldn’t you ask for her opinion or approval instead?”
“I- Well, I have asked Alicia actually but she said I should ask you.”
“Oh, so you’re here because your plan with Alicia didn’t go well? Is that what this is?” She argues, anger and hurt clouding her mind “Is that really all that I am to you? A back up plan? Someone you go to when things aren’t going well with your bird?”
George raises an eyebrow, looking bewildered, “Love, what- I just- What are you talking about?”
“Look, George, I really don’t have time for this.” She says fast before letting herself get even more angry “I’m sorry that things didn’t work out with Alicia, but frankly speaking you have tons of other girls you can ask with so just pick one and be done with it.”
Before George could utter another word, she left him in a hurry. She takes big angry steps away from the redhead boy, praying that her leg could carry her as furthest as it could. The puppy pleading eyes of his would haunt her. She knew that she’s being an arse for spitting him right on the face where he clearly needs someone to talk to, but she couldn't let herself drown even deeper. She couldn’t let him drag her further to the pit of despair. He’s hurt her just enough.
—-
The dreadful night finally comes. In contrast to the happy and excited looks of her friends, she drank the glass of non-alcoholic drink with a frown. If it wasn’t for Ginny dragging her by the neck, she wouldn’t have stepped a foot to the Great Hall tonight.
Taking the empty seat beside her, Ron let out a huff of annoyance. His shoulders were dropped, hair dishevelled and face red in embarrassment. His date was nowhere to be seen, that is if he’s got one in the first place. The dress robe he’s wearing and the long face he’s showing is making it hard for her to tell.
“You having fun?”
Ron rolled his eyes, “The best night of my life.”
“Mine too.” She sighs “I just want to hex myself to death, you know?”
Taking a look at the room, her eyes stopped at the sight of George, talking casually with his date in the corner of the room. Things worked out in the end, she reckons. They’ve finally sorted their problem and he finally got Alicia as his date. She wasn’t sure if she should feel relieved that he’s finally got to go with her, the girl he so much praised about, or should she hate him even more for rubbing his happiness on her face.
“Where’s your date?”
She shrugs, “I don’t have one.”
“Bullshit.” Ron chuckles yet stops right away as he notices her seriousness “You haven’t got a date?”
Once again, she shrugs.
“But why don’t you? I thought you already had someone, that's why you rejected my brother.”
“Your brother?” She asks, raising an eyebrow “What are you talking about?”
“Well, George’s been saying that he’s going to ask you to be his date since the ball was announced, but a couple days ago he said he’s going with Alicia instead, so I figured you must’ve had a date already.” Ron confesses, face full of confusion “He even asked her to teach him the dance so he won’t make a fool of himself in front of you, you know.”
She closes her eyes as her brain tries to digest the new information. She facepalms herself, realising the grave mistake she’s made for giving in to the bad scenarios she over-thinks about. She should’ve let George finish his words that day. She should’ve waited for him a little longer. She should’ve given him the benefit of the doubt and let him explain himself. All these disastrous nights could’ve been avoided if she had been a little bit more patient with him.
“Merlin, I screwed up everything.” She whispers, turning to Ron “Do you think he’d forgive me? Do you think George would ever forgive me for being such an arse?”
Ron chuckles, “Are you kidding? My brother’s mental about you. You can rip his heart out and stomp it to the ground and he’d still kiss the dirt you stepped on.”
She smiles, cheek tainted in light blush.
“But please don’t tell him I told you that.” Ron said fast, realising the secret he’s spilled “He’ll have my head if he knew I told you about his crush.”
She chuckles and nods.
The night felt lighter with Ron to accompany her. That or the fact that she knew more of George’s feelings about her. Perhaps she’s placed too much attention to his surroundings to ever realise where his eyes are actually at. The girls fighting over his affection had blinded her from the fact that she was the only one he ever wanted to impress. She was the only one he wanted to be with.
“Evening, you two.” A voice greets, an unsure smile plastered on his face “Lovely ball, isn’t it?”
“Right, that’s my cue.” Ron says in a low volume, loud enough for her to hear him before standing up and leaving “She’s all yours, George.”
George squinted his eyes, eyeing his younger brother with a suspicious look but chose to say nothing. He turned to see her, smiling and taking the spot Ron left, “You look lovely tonight.”
“As do you.” She says with a smile “Much more handsome than usual.”
A hint of blush appears on his face. 
George chews on his lower lip, looking as if there’s something fighting its way out of his lips. The palm of his hands were getting clammier, his heart was beating at an alarmingly fast rate. He’s been trying to find the words to apologise to her from their misunderstanding yet now he seems to have lost every word he’s ever known. Perhaps it was because he wasn’t sure what he should be apologising for, but remembering her reaction the other day, he knew that he made a mistake and whatever it was he’s desperate to fix it.
“Do you want to dance?” She asks, breaking his internal argument to stop “I mean, if Alicia’s fine with that of course.”
He blinks, stuttering, “Of course, yeah, sure! She’s fine with it, she couldn’t care less.”
With a satisfied grin, George stood up and held his hand out. She gladly accepts it, letting him lead the way to the dance floor. The music has come to the calmer side now that people begin to leave the Great Hall. It’s beginning to be late after all.
She places her hands on his shoulders as he rests his on her waist. Both were looking visibly nervous, afraid that they would make the wrong move and step on the other’s foot. Neither would mind if such a thing happened, to be truthfully honest. The world could burn and crumble right on this very second and they wouldn’t even notice as they drown themselves in each other’s gazes.
“I, uh,” George stammers, shoulders slightly shaking from the nerve wrecking havoc inside him “I want to apologise for the other day. I don’t know what happened but I figured you’re right, I’ve kind of been too occupied with Alicia lately. I’m sorry for that.”
She shakes her head, “No, don’t be. I was being unreasonable and dumped you my frustration when you were innocent all along. I should be the one apologising, George. I’m really sorry.”
“What were you stressing about?” He asks softly “Mind sharing them with me?”
“It’s silly, really.”
“Nothing’s ever silly about you.” He cuts in, eyes still glued on her “If it’s bothering you that much then it must be something serious.”
She shows a small smile, contemplating if she should be blunt and speak her mind, “I’ve been feeling more insecure lately. I feel like I’m not good enough for someone, like I’m just someone easily disposed of and replaced with.”
“Someone?” He asks, eyes softening and looking guilty “Please don’t say that I’m the culprit.”
She remains quiet.
“Oh, Love.” George sighs, understanding her silence “I’m really sorry. I never meant for you to think that I’ve replaced you, I never intended to. You’re someone I could never replace, believe me. Nothing’s happening with Alicia and me, she was just being a friend, I promise.”
George continues with his long apologise yet she couldn’t process any of his words. Her eyes were locked on his lips, wondering how blissful it would be to kiss them. Her heart was beating fast, she could only pray that he wouldn’t hear its loud thumps. Her skin was hot, an unfamiliar tension building inside her.
“I like you.”
George was stunned. He looked at her with widened eyes. The confession caught him off guard, causing his brain to completely shut down.
“I like you, George Weasley.” She confesses once more, this time with a tone more firm and assured than before “And I’m really sorry that my feelings only caused us to fight. I just- I’ve seen the girls who've tried to approach you. I’ve seen how much prettier, smarter, and better they are than me and I just- I couldn’t help but to feel inferior than them.”
He remains quiet, listening to each of her words with full attention.
“You could pick any girl in this castle, George. You have a long list of admirers and I just-” She paused, smiling pitifully to herself “The thought of you ever reciprocating my feelings is just too good to be true.”
George’s hands moved to cupped her cheeks. He caresses her cheek gently, staring at her with a smile, “Can I kiss you?”
She nods lightly, showing a faint smile.
With a warm smile, George leans in. The kiss was gentle, as if he feared she would pull away anytime. His hands never left her cheeks, gently rubbing her skin as if she was the most precious thing he’s ever held. He’s holding her ever so tenderly, making her feel like she was the most delicate thing he’s ever laid fingers on.
“I’m sorry that you ever feel that way, Love.” George whispers as they pull away, his eyes never leaving hers “For what it’s worth, there’s never been anyone more important to me than you. You’re the only one I have eyes for and I’m sorry for not making it clear before, but if you’ll have me, I promise I’ll spend each day proving that you’re the one best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“You’re going to lose your admirers.” She says, smiling from his lovely confession.
“Fred can have them.” He says, rolling his eyes “I’m sure he’ll be more than delighted.”
She chuckles.
“So, is that a yes?”
She makes a thinking face, teasing the boy, “Maybe I could use one more kiss. To make myself sure and all, you know.”
“Just one?” George questions, chuckling “Here I am willing to kiss you all night.”
“Shut up and just kiss me already.”

LA NOIA | ANGELINA MANGO
Quanti disegni ho fatto How many drawings I made Rimango qui e li guardo I stay here and look at them Nessuno prende vita None comes to life Questa pagina è pigra This paper is lazy Vado di fretta I am in a hurry E mi hanno detto che la vita è preziosa And they told me that life is precious Io la indosso a testa alta sul collo I wear it head held high on my neck La mia collana non ha perle di saggezza My necklace doesn't have pearls of wisdom (perle di saggezza=> idiomatic, could also be used ironically "words of wisdom") A me hanno dato le perline colorate They gave me colored beads Per le bimbe incasinate con i traumi For young girls messed up with traumas Da snodare piano piano con l'età To slowly untie while growing older Eppure sto una Pasqua, guarda, zero drammi And yet I'm doing great, look, no dramas (stare una Pasqua => idiomatic and usually very ironic, "to feel/do great") Quasi quasi cambio di nuovo città Maybe I (should) move to another city once again (quasi quasi => idiomatic, when you think about a chance you say "Maybe...") Che a stare ferma a me mi viene, a me mi viene If I stand still I get, I get ("a me mi" is a colloquial grammatically wrong concept that translates literally as "it comes to me"; it should be "a me viene" but for lyrical/musical lyrics is okay to find this in songs) La noia Bored(om) (for translations reasons -aka the sentence construction in English- I'm using the adjective "bored" here but "noia" is a noun so the literal translation is "boredom") La noia Bored(om) La noia Bored(om) La noia Bored(om)
Muoio senza morire, in questi giorni usati I die without dying, in these used days Vivo senza soffrire, non c'è croce più grande I live without suffering, there's no greatest trial ("croce" here has a figurative meaning as in "portare una croce", idiomatic, meaning basically "to bring pain/affliction/trials *on your shoulders*") Non ci resta che ridere in queste notti bruciate We cannot do anything but laugh in those burnt nights (like the famous movie's title "non ci resta che piangere" but from a happier/ironic pov) Una corona di spine sarà il dress-code per la mia festa A crown of thorns will be the dress-code for my party Ah, è la cumbia della noia, mmh Ah, it's the cumbia of boredom È la cumbia della noia The cumbia of boredom Total definitive Ah, è la cumbia della noia Ah, it's the cumbia of boredom È la cumbia della noia It's the cumbia of boredom Total definitive
Quanta gente nelle cose vede il male So many people see the evil in things ("quanto/a/i/e" if not used as a question usually means "a lot", "there are so many...") Viene voglia di scappare come iniziano a parlare One feels like running away as they start talking E vorrei dirgli che sto bene ma poi mi guardano male And I'd like to tell them I'm doing good but then they look at me sideways Allora dico che è difficile campare So I say that it's hard to keep on living Business, parli di business Business, you talk about business Intanto chiudo gli occhi per firmare i contratti, mmh In the meantime I close my eyes to sign contracts Princess, ti chiama "princess" Princess, (he) calls you "princess" Allora adesso smettila di lavare i piatti Then stop washing dishes now
Muoio senza morire, in questi giorni usati I die without dying, in these used days Vivo senza soffrire, non c'è croce più grande I live without suffering, there's no greatest trial Non ci resta che ridere in queste notti bruciate We cannot do anything but laugh in those burnt nights Una corona di spine sarà il dress-code per la mia festa A crown of thorns will be the dress-code for my party Ah, è la cumbia della noia, mmh Ah, it's the cumbia of boredom È la cumbia della noia The cumbia of boredom Total definitive Ah, è la cumbia della noia Ah, it's the cumbia of boredom È la cumbia della noia It's the cumbia of boredom Total definitive
Allora scrivi canzoni? So you write songs? Sì, le canzoni d'amore Yes, love songs E non ti voglio annoiare And I don't want to bore you Ma qualcuno le deve cantare But someone needs to sing them Cumbia, ballo la cumbia Cumbia, I dance the cumbia Se rischio di inciampare almeno fermo la noia If I risk to stumble at least I stop the boredom Quindi faccio una festa, faccio una festa Therefore I make/hold a party, I make/hold a party Perché è l'unico modo per fermare, per fermare, per fermare, ah Because it's the only way to stop, to stop, to stop, ah La noia Boredom La noia Boredom La noia Boredom La noia Boredom
Muoio perché morire rende i giorni più umani I die because dying makes days more human Vivo perché soffrire fa le gioie più grandi I live because suffering makes the joys look bigger Non ci resta che ridere in queste notti bruciate We cannot do anything but laugh in those burnt nights Una corona di spine sarà il dress-code per la mia festa A crown of thorns will be the dress-code for my party Ah, è la cumbia della noia, mmh Ah, it's the cumbia of boredom È la cumbia della noia The cumbia of boredom Total definitive Ah, è la cumbia della noia Ah, it's the cumbia of boredom È la cumbia della noia It's the cumbia of boredom Total definitive

The Yule ball- George Weasley x Fem!reader
Summary- you(Gryffindor reader)go to the ball with George Weasley much to Draco’s dismay but nothing will stop you or George.
Warnings: a bit steamy at the end but nothing too extreme.
Words: 1,493
You were getting ready in the dorm room with Hermione and Ginny you three were gossiping to each other as you got ready. You were doing Hermione’s hair.
“Thanks y/n it looks lovely” Hermione grinned looking at her hair in the mirror
“You look gorgeous mione. And you too gin” the two girls smiled brightly whilst fixing themselves in the mirror.
You were wearing a stunning olive green satin cowl neck maxi dress twined with a pair of lace green heels that complimented your attire very well. Your makeup was matched with soft brown pallets on your eyes as well as some gloss.
“I can’t believe you're going with my brother” Ginny laughed
“I can’t believe it either” y/n said blushing slightly.
“Y/n has a crush” Hermione sang teasingly but it was true.
As soon as the yule ball was announced George was the first one to ask you. Of course, many guys did ask you including Draco Malfoy but they weren’t quick enough to capture you. George Weasley was the one who captured your heart.
As you and mione parted ways with Ginny as she went with Neville you both head down the stairs, heels clicking on the old steps as you both walked down arms linked.
Viktor Krum watched Hermione like a hawk. You giggled as you ushered her to him.
“Good luck” she whispered as she shyly went to Viktor
“Well don’t you look ravishing” you turned around smiling shyly
“Thanks, Fred you look rather dashing” you joked and complimented your friend Angelina
“Where’s George?” You felt a hand on your shoulder
“Speak of the devil” Angelia grinned you looked up at George smiling a pearly white smile
“Oh Georgie you look so handsome” you straighten up his tie and the boy reddened
“Thank you love but you are looking drop-dead gorgeous tonight. I mean you look lovely all the time” you chuckled and blushed at the boy's rambling and gave him a kiss on the cheek making him go a crimson red.
“Thank you, George” you linked arms with him and went into the great hall waiting for the champions to enter. You and George were talking when you were interrupted by someone.
“Y/n you look breathtaking” it was Draco Malfoy. You smiled at Draco
“Thanks, Draco you look good too” you held onto George’s arm tighter to reassure him as he looked down at the floor.
“Save me a dance will you?” the blonde hair boy asked his date looked at him in shock as he wasn’t giving her no attention
“If you’re lucky” you simply replied going back to you and George’s conversation.
As the champions walked in with their dates you made eye contact with Hermione giving her a big thumbs up and a cheeky wink sent to the girl who just simply laughed at her friend and you gave a good luck smile to Harry who looked terrified. Soon after the champions finished their dance everyone started dancing looking down at you and smiling the redhead boy offered his hand
“M’lady” you giggled and took his hand and the both of you were dancing together and it was pure bliss. George’s hand was firm on your waist and one in your hand and one of yours was on his shoulder whilst the other linked with his hand. You two got many stares but you danced like there was no one in the room.
The two of you sat down next to his twin whilst Angelina danced with a drumstrang boy.
“Can you believe it? The cheek of that guy honestly” Fred huffed taking a drink of his punch
“Oooo someone’s jealous” y/n sang teasingly at the boy poking his side
“I’m not jealous at all. Hey y/n wanna dance” Fred shot up and offered his hand you looked at George offering your hand
“Let’s all dance yeah?” The twin's eyes lit up and dragged you to the dance floor. The three of you danced to the upbeat music and Angelina stole a glance at the three of you. She felt guilty.
“This is fun!” Fred screamed over the loud music twirling you around. You giggled slightly and a wave of dizziness came over you. You bumped into George’s chest
“Merlin I feel dizzy” you stopped for a min
“Too much spinning?” Fred asked his head tilting to the side you nod your head laughing
“Just a bit I’m gonna go sit down for a minute” you trailed your way through many body’s and went to sit down waiting for your head to stop spinning. You then felt a presence next to you.
“Why are you here by yourself?” Draco asked sitting next to you
“Just waiting for my head to stop spinning” you simply said with your heads in your hands
“Y/n!” You looked up to see the twins jogging towards you
“What do you want Malfoy” Fred became instinctively protective
“Listen Weasley I’m not doing anything I was just seeing if she wanted to dance” Malfoy spat not looking at the boys
“Does she look like she wants to dan-
“Fred” y/n interrupted the boy and stood up
“Georgie I’m just giving him one dance otherwise he won’t shut up about it” George nodded understandingly he trusted you. You were his best friend, he loved you more than that obviously but he was too scared to tell you
“We’ll be waiting” the twins stated at the same time. Sitting down where you were just sat. Malfoy smirked then offered his arm and you both swayed to a slow song
“So you having a good night?” Draco asked turning you around
“Yeah, it’s been lovely. What happened to your date?” You joked as he dipped you down
“She was annoying” he simply stated and lifted you back up your noses touched Draco's pale skin turned into a pink tint but you moved your face and kept dancing. Once the song had finished you bid your goodbyes to Draco who thanked you for making his night a whole lot better. You saw the twins waiting at the doors for you.
“What the hell was that Malfoy was about to kiss you,” Fred says the three of you walking to the common room
“I moved my face. I don’t want my first kiss to be him” the twins stopped and looked at you
“What?” You three stood on the staircase
“You’ve never kissed anyone?” George pried
“No” you shyly said looking down at the floor to hide the redness of your cheeks
“Wow,” the twins said you raised an eyebrow at the two. You three entered the common room and threw yourselves on the couches by the fireplace.
George sat beside you and Fred sat on the floor resting his head on the chair
“It’s been a great night thank you, Boys, for making it even better” y/n smiled at the twins resting her head on George’s shoulder and staring into the fire, a few moments later Angelina walked in smiling to herself. Her smile dropped when she saw the three of you. Fred didn’t look at her and just lifted his head to the edge of the sofa staring at the ceiling the air was tense.
“Hey guys” Angelina awkwardly said sitting on an armchair
“Hey Angie” y/n smiled at the girl who just looked guilty for some reason
“Fred I’m sorry” Fred huffed the girl's words and got up to sit beside you not looking at her
“You kissed him, Angelina. You were my date” Fred spat staring at the fire
“Wait what” y/n stared in shock
“It happened when you were dancing with Malfoy” George whispered to her. y/n eyes widened at George who bit the inside of his cheek you placed a hand on Fred’s shoulder. He looked so sad Angelina cried and ran up to her dorm.
“Hey, Freddie how bout us three go to Hogsmeade tomorrow?” Fred just shrugged his shoulders bid his goodnight and went to his dormitory.
Y/n gave a sad smile to George who just stared at her. Her kindness and her love for his family just made him feel so warm. His mother loved her. She always helped out in the house even when Mrs.Weasley said it’s not a problem.
“George?” Y/n George shook his head and looked at the fire
“Sorry love didn’t mean to stare too long for you to notice” he laughed and nudges the girl she blushed staring at him. His lightly freckled face those gorgeous brown eyes that fiery red locks
“Now you’re staring lo-” George was cut off by a sweet kiss. The kiss he’s been waiting for ages for.
“Oh Merlin George I'm so sorry-“ y/n was cut off by a kiss this time it was longer y/n hand went in George’s hair tugging at it slightly he held back a moan as he pulled her onto his lap his big hands going on to her waist pulling her insanely close to him. Y/n hands wrapped around his neck tugging at his hair now and then. The two were interrupted by a very horrified Ginny and a smirking Hermione.
“Ooooo y/n!!!” Hermione cheered for her friend as Ginny pretended to gag
“So gross you two. Get a room” Ginny laughed and walked off with Hermione
“Maybe we will” George shouted only getting a vomiting sound as a response.
“Love, will you do the honours of being mine?” George smiled as the girl said yes and kissed her once more.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 80- Taking Things A Little Further
Tumblr media
Chapter Summary: Jennie returns to Korea as BTS prepares for their Festa. Jennie hangs with Big Bang. Jennie comforts Jungkook and calls out the Flower Crew cast for how they mistreated him during filming. JenKook start a Twitch gaming channel together. 
Words: 7,000+
-------
With the guys back in Seoul, they were shooked and happy to see Jennie take so many photos with several celebs.
“Aw~! Munchkin finally got to meet him.” Hobi pointed out the photos with her and Shawn.
"Did he have to hug her so tightly?" Jungkook grumbled, frowning at the hug while the guys laughed and teased him. 
“Look at how big she’s smiling!” Taehyung giggled.
“She’s cheesing, huh?” Yoongi chuckled.
“That smile is so wide. She must’ve been blushing.” Jimin pointed out.
"You think you're gonna lose your girlfriend?" Namjoon teased while the members played along.
"Shut up!" Jungkook whined, trying to hit the guys while they laughed.
“Wow, she met Ludacris and 50 Cent!” Hobi said in awe, pointing at the photos she had taken backstage with all these celebs.
They watched a video of Jennie teaching Ludacris Korean backstage on Billboard’s Twitter.
“So, how do you say it?” Ludacris asked as he tried to say hello in Korean after Jennie repeated the word slowly for him.
The boys laughed at the video and liked his pronunciation of the word.
It seemed like BTS’ name was traveling fast because Jennie was in a lot of videos with several celebs and Billboard staff as she talked about Korean Pop. Which was a great thing as she put out the idea of having K-Pop groups attend Billboard one day.
----
As soon as she arrived back in Korea, she had to go straight to work. Arriving at Big Hit’s building, she went to her studio, quickly changing into her outfit for dance practice. Turning to her desk, she saw smarties and a cute note connected to it. 
Smiling softly, she examined it to see that it was from Jungkook, who drew a small doodle of a bunny and a hamster.
‘I missed you! I hope you had a great flight. Enjoy these. See you at practice. I love you’ – JK
Walking into the dance studio with her gym bag, posing dramatically at the door, she announced, “I’m back~!”
The guys stopped talking and turned to her with bright smiles on their faces. “Jennie~! Yay~!” the members happily cheered and rushed over to her as she laughed.
“Ennie’s back! Ennie’s back!” Taehyung beamed.
“How was the show? We saw all your pictures. It’s like you met everybody,” Namjoon exclaimed.
“How’s Shawn?” Jungkook asked with jealousy, crossing his arms, and making the guys laugh. “You seemed to have a lot of fun with him. Even baked for him, too. When was the last time you baked for me? I’m always up for your baking.”
“Someone’s jealous,” Hobi teased, nudging Jungkook as he playfully hit him back.
"Yeah, Jungkook was complaining a lot when he saw the photos and videos of you and Shawn Mendes," Jimin laughed, throwing him under the bus.
"They have a cute ship name, too!" Jin brought up in a fit of giggles while Jungkook glared at him.
“Oh, would you relax?" Jen giggled at Jungkook. "Shawn has a girlfriend. He told me they're dating privately which is what we're doing. Shawn and I are friends. I think we're going to be the best musical partners going forward when we start collaborating. Anyway, he's great. Everything is great. I'm so glad I went to the show,"
“Angelina was amazing. I had to watch her perform a couple of times. Just wow. Blown away.” Namjoon added.
“Right?! I am so proud of her! She deserves everything!” she went to hug Jungkook who leaned down to kiss her. “So, Silver Spoon, right? And then rehearsing for our Festa?”
“Right on. We’re being filmed for a Bangtan Bomb for this dance practice too,” Hobi added. 
“All right, let’s do this.”
“Let’s have someone take over Hoseok’s dance part at the end of Crow-tit.” Yoongi suggested. 
Hobi agreed since he always did the dance break. After a game of Rock, paper, scissors, Yoongi was the one to lose and would have to do the dance break. As soon as he realized he lost, he dropped to his knees while everyone laughed.
“Yoongi Hyung’s got it!” Jimin cackled.
“I’m glad it ain’t me!” Jen high fived Jimin, celebrating.
After pulling themselves together, they got in position to dance. Jen stood next to Jungkook as their backs were facing the camera and the music came on. Quickly turning around, they shimmy on the beat. As they walked towards the camera, Jen put up three fingers and counted down just before Rapmon began his verse.
They call me baepsae
yokbwatji i sedae
ppalli chase ’em
hwangsae deoge nae garangin taengtaeng
Her weak pelvic thrusts caught the attention of those around her as they laughed at her while she stuck her tongue out. If they don’t leave her alone. Perhaps she’ll just freestyle and shake her ass instead next time.
So call me baepsae
yokbwatji i sedae
ppalli chase ’em
geumsujeoro taeeonan nae seonsaengnim
Moving out of the shot, she watched as Hobi, Jimin, and Jungkook danced. She stood in the background with V and decided to dance with him as they both started to dab and laugh.
alba gamyeon yeoljeongpei
hakgyo gamyeon seonsaengnim
sangsadeureun haengpae
eolloneseon maennal myeot po sedae
Once Rapmon was about to rap, she came back into the picture with him.
rul bakkwo change change
She stood in between Jimin and Rapmon and as she kicked, she put a little bit more fierceness into it as she thrusted her shoulder forward.
hwangsaedeureun wonhae wonhae maintain
geureogeneun an doeji BANG BANG
As they moved around, she stood behind a kneeling Jimin, while Jungkook was next to her as they put up gun signs. Then, she started bodyrolling in sync with him.
igeon jeongsangi anya
igeon jeongsangi anya
Grabbing Jimin’s cap, she took it off his head and placed it on hers instead as he stood up and gave her a playful glare. She stuck her tongue out in response.
ah noryeoknoryeok taryeong jom geumandwo
ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo
ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok
ah noraguna ssaksuga
yeoksi hwangsae!
noryeoktaryeong jom geumandwo
ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo
ah noryeok noryeok
She froze with the rest of the members until Jungkook low fived Hobi and they all leaned back in sync.
ah noryeok noryeok
ah noraguna ssaksuga
Standing in the middle while the guys were dancing around, Jen began doing the shmoney dance for fun.
yeoksi hwangsaeya
“silmang an sikyeo.” she lipsynced with Jimin
yeoksi hwangsaeya
“ireum gabt hane.”
Jimin took his cap back and placed it on his head as they danced with each other, rocking to the beat. Then he got to the front as she stood behind him while they all moved their leg up coolly.
yeoksi hwangsaeya
“da haemeogeora.”
yeoksi hwangsaeya
Hwangsaeya
Jumping to the front, J-Hope continued the chorus as Jen put her own flavor into the leaning to the side dance move by looking extra and having a surprised expression on her face.
They call me baepsae
yokbwatji i sedae
ppalli chase ’em
hwangsae deoge nae garangin taengtaeng
Instead of the pelvic thrusting, she decided to shake her ass, which she felt much better doing as she turned around for her butt to face the camera. She got a kick in the butt in response by Jin who wasn’t too happy, which made her laugh.
So call me baebsae
yokbwatji i sedae
ppalli chase ’em
geumsujeoro taeeonan nae seonsaengnim
Swiping Jimin’s cap off his head again, he laughed as he walked out of the shot while Jen stayed to dance around Suga with Rapmon. She decided to copy Rapmon’s moves as he laughed at her.
nan baepsaedari neon hwangsaedari
gyaenen malhaji ‘nae darin baekman buljjari’
nae ge jjarbeunde eojji gateun jongmok hani?
They say ‘ttokgateun chowonimyeon gwaenchanjanhni!’
Never Never Never
rul bakkwo change change
hwangsaedeureun wonhae wonhae maintain
geureogeneun an doeji BANG BANG
igeon jeongsangi anya
igeon jeongsangi anya
Walking over to the front, she adjusted Jimin’s cap on her head and started to lipsync, “ah noryeoknoryeok taryeong jom geumandwo. ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo.”
Tapping the side of her shoe, she smoothly leaned back while the rest of the members froze until it was their cue.
“ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok. ah noraguna ssaksuga.”
yeoksi hwangsae!
She pointed to Jungkook, who lifted up his leg and arms, pretending to be a bird, with the guys. Jimin started to move past her to the front as they made eye contact and laughed again. She then placed his cap back on his head.
noryeoktaryeong jom geumandwo
ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo
ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok
ah noraguna ssaksuga
yeoksi hwangsaeya
Jungkook started doing one of his meme dances which made Jennie laugh as she continued the choreography.
nae tasirani neo nongdamiji
gongpyeonghadani oh are you crazy
ige jeonguirani you mu be kiddin’ me!
You mu be kiddin’ me
you you mu be kiddin’ me!
After he finished lipsyncing, Taehyung jumped on his back and slapped his butt as he walked back to his position.
ah noryeoknoryeok taryeong jom geumandwo
ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo
ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok
Being extra, she decided to lean back farther than usual, which would be a big rewind moment for reactors on YouTube.
ah noraguna ssaksuga
yeoksi hwangsae!
noryeoktaryeong jom geumandwo
ah ogeuradeureo nae du sonbaldo
ah noryeok noryeok ah noryeok noryeok
ah noraguna ssaksuga
urin baepsaeya
“silmang an sikyeo.” Jen and Jimin lipsync again. Jimin decided to copy her shmoney dance as she laughed and did it with him.
urin baepsaeya
“ireumgabthane.”
Afterwards, it was Yoongi’s time to shine as he started twerking with everyone hyping him up.
“WORK!” Jen cheered, laughing with Jimin while Rapmon covered his mouth.
So call me baepsae
yokbwatji i sedae
ppalli chase ’em
geumsujeoro taeeonan nae seonsaengnim
After the ending pose, Taehyung kicked Hobi’s butt and the recording ended as everyone caught their breath.
Now it was on to practicing for the Festa. The practice room was filled with Hobi’s “Ba bams” and music as he helped Jin with his solo dance while Jimin helped Rapmon with his. V walked around rapping for Cypher Part 3, and Jennie walked around to go over the lyrics for Sunmi’s Full Moon since she’ll be singing and dancing. Including rapping Lena’s part.
Yoongi was with her as he listened closely to her rapping.
“Perfect weather, can get no better,” she rapped smoothly as he nodded. “Everything around us so so real yo. Tonight, it’s the night, boreumdareul jomyeong sama, sarangeul soksagigi ttak joheun bam.”
“geudae soneul japgo Walking on the moon, gutge dachin mun ppajimeobsi yeoreo, oraetdongan gidaryeo watdeon kkum.” she messed up on transitioning back to Sunmi’s verse and stopped singing altogether.
“You sound good, smartie,” Yoongi praised. “Let’s just work on how to control your breathing,”
She needed to make sure her transition from the rap to the chorus wasn’t sloppy as she worked hard on her breath control and timing. Maybe breathing through her nose will help. 
After working on the lyrics, she focused on practicing with Jimin and Jungkook for the Coming of Age Ceremony cover. She swiped Jimin's hat off his head again to wear as they rehearsed. At one point she slut dropped all extra, making the boys laugh at her randomness. 
As the song continued to play, she listened closely to the lyrics. ‘I’m not a little innocent girl anymore, you don’t need to hesitate any longer,’
“Wow, a relatable song to me,” she commented, making Jin stop working on his Festa project.
“What do you mean relatable!?” he called out.
“I was joking,” she quickly replied.
“You better be,” he pointed to her, narrowing his eyes, and making her giggle.
“SKRT!” V shouted on the mic as Cypher pt 3 came on. “SKRT SKRT! SKRT!”
‘This man is a character,’ she thought with a chuckle.
“Hi, Kim Taehyung, I’m so happy I get to rap like this,” he rapped.
On camera, Jennie was standing in the background, smirking at her phone in amusement while nodding her head to his flow. She was going over the lyrics for her performance. 
Jimin’s hat was taken off her head and she looked up to see Jungkook placing his hat on hers instead. It looked like he was a little jealous to see her wearing Jimin’s hat. He planned on leaning down for a kiss but then remembered the camera was on them since Taehyung was rapping in front of them for a Bangtan Bomb. Although it could just be edited, he decided not to take the risk. Instead, he stood with her as they watched him rap.
“Hyung, you really shouldn’t rap,” Jungkook immediately chuckled after he finished the song
“Jungkook.” Jen scolded and turned to V, “Don’t listen to him. I’m your biggest supporter on this no matter what. You killed it. Just keep practicing. Army is going to be excited over it,”
A boxy smile came across V’s face as he looked at her with appreciation.
Later, Jen stared at Yoongi and Hobi wide-eyed and started laughing as they sang dramatically, practicing their cover of Homme’s I Ate Well.
“It’s a big mistake to ask them to do this. I’m extremely good at harmonizing. We should’ve done it together. It’s such a pity.” Rapmon complained.
“AHHHHHHHHHHH~!” Hobi screamed out while singing, causing Jennie to look up from her lyrics, furrowing her eyebrows. The camera caught her reaction and it was sure to become the next K-pop meme as Jungkook and Jin laughed at them.
“Oh yeaaaaaaaaah oooooooohhhhhhhhhh~!” Yoongi sang out
While the guys were doing their own thing, Jennie finally started to practice Sunmi’s Full Moon dance. There was a couch against the wall that she used as she put on the song to practice. Concentration was on her face as she drowned out all distractions to make sure she got this choreography and sensuality right. But Yoongi and Hobi decided to mess with her by sitting next to her on the couch to try to copy her moves. She suppressed a laugh as she continued to dance.
geudaeyeo boreumdari tteuneun nal, nal boreowayo
i bami gagi jeone hae tteugi jeone seodulleojwoyo
As she danced to the chorus, angling her arms up in the air like a moon, Jungkook, Yoongi, and Hobi copied her and pretended to be her backup dancers.
She slowly kneeled and rubbed her hands together.
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
---------
After practice, Jennie went to meet up with Big Bang as G-Dragon invited her to go eat with them. The excitement in her was building as she made her way to a private section of the restaurant where he was waiting for her.
“Jennie,” his eyes lit up as she went to hug him.
“I missed you! What’s been going on?”
“Touring has been fun. Just enjoying every day. So, does BTS know you’re going to be hanging out with Big Bang?”
She smiled sheepishly, “Not...yet.”
They both laughed.
“I’ll let you be my little secret for a little while longer,” she added. “It’ll be nice if we can all hang out one day. I’m sure the guys would flip.”
As they walked over to the table, Jennie was met by excited smiles from the members.
“Here she is. Miss Jennifer.” G-Dragon announced
“Hey!” she waved excitedly.
“Jennie! Welcome!” Seungri happily greeted which caught her by surprise.
“So, you’re the precious Jennie hyung is always blabbing on about. Nice to finally meet you!” Taeyang smiled.
Jen’s face immediately heated up by the way he was smiling so charmingly. It was surprising to her that they knew her name. Like Big Bang knows who she is!? That’s amazing.
When her eyes met TOP's, she almost fainted.
He smiled softly. "It's nice to finally meet you, Jennie,"
"Oh my gosh, hi~!" she giggled, making the guys laugh at her enthusiasm towards him. 
Taking a seat next to G-Dragon and Seungri, she was welcomed with open arms. She watched the group bicker and crack jokes which made her laugh. It made her think of her bond with BTS and she hoped it would remain as strong as theirs.
“I baked some cookies for you guys! I hope you like them. Thanks for having me here.” she took out her bag and placed it on the table to reveal a big container of various chewy cookies. They immediately thanked her as they looked at the cookies happily.
“I like her even more,” Daesung called out with a laugh, making her smile.
“Oh wow, thank you!” Seungri happily took the container of cookies.
“It’s for all of us,” TOP called out, grabbing a hold of it, and pulling it to him.
“Yeah, bring it to the middle of the table so we can all share,” Taeyang added, bringing it to the table which made Seungri pout. “Jennie, BTS’ fire comeback is very impressive.”
“Thank you, that means so much coming from you. The guys will be stoked to hear about you liking the comeback,” she said. “I have to give thanks to G-Dragon for helping me.”
“Seeing your hard work pay off is great to see. You’re doing well,” G-Dragon praised.
“Speaking of fire, TOP caught me making a dance video about it,” Seungri laughed.
“Oh really?! You have the video?” she eagerly asked while G-Dragon and Daesung snickered at the memory, shaking their heads.
“Way ahead of you,” TOP took out his phone to show the video of him secretly filming Seungri in a dance room, making everyone at the table laugh.
“We should make a dance cover video of fire,” Jen suggested.
Seungri seemed to enjoy the idea and wanted to make plans to film a cover with her for fire soon. 
“How is the idol life for you? Any questions?” Daesung asked.
“Yes. I hate to kill the mood but I feel like you guys are the best to ask about this. Um, how do you guys deal with sasaengs? Because I think I was followed by a few when I went to the billboard awards.” she frowned.
“What happened at Billboard?”
“I just always feel eyes on me. It’s crazy about the idea of being followed. And I hope it doesn’t get worse with family being involved.”
“That’s the worst when they start following our families.” TOP sighed and rubbed his temples. “One thing I recommend is speaking up about it. Call them out. Be stern about it. Enough is enough. Stand up for yourself. And keep Big Hit informed,”
“I will. I've been taking self defense classes, too. So, I do feel good about defending myself if anything comes to that.
“You hear that, hyung? Don’t make her upset or she’ll beat you up,” Seungri teased.
“I wouldn’t do that to you,” Jen reassured TOP, as the members laughed.
“You know with me, I had to move at one point because some crazy girls were hiding around my apartment at night. It was shocking. So, I moved to a more private apartment.” G-Dragon mentioned.
“There are times I can’t even get in,” Taeyang added.
“Just let me know when you visit,”
“I do!” Taeyang turned to Jennie and joked, “I feel like he just doesn’t want to see me,”
“You guys are about to celebrate ten years as a group,” Jen brought up in amazement. “Right now Bangtan and I are focusing on our annual Festa. We’re celebrating three years. Time is flying so fast. I hope that we can last a long time like you. Ten years is astonishing. So much hard work and dedication. It’s inspiring,”
“You will,” G-Dragon predicted. “I can see that BTS has a bond like no other. No matter the hardships, teamwork is how to do it. You made it this far. You’re going to soar.”
“Namjoon always told me teamwork makes the dream work as our fans work with us to be the best that we can be,”
After their lunch, the members posted photos from their outing. Seungri posted a selfie of him gobbling up Jen’s cookies while she pretended to look at him like he was crazy and captioned it, ‘Nice to meet u, Jennie! I’m keeping the cookies hyungs!’
Daesung posted a cute photo of them hugging, 'Nice to meet you, Jennie! Thanks for the cookies! You are going to do well in the industry,'
G-Dragon posted a group photo that they took during the lunch with the caption, ‘Big Bang X JW.’
Taeyang had posted a cute selfie with Jen with the caption, ‘Dope Meeting, congratz’
TOP posted a photo of him and Jennie looking cool for the camera. With the caption, ‘W Jennie’

'God...give me the strength. Because I’m trying my hardest to mature and keep in this frustration. But people keep trying me. #Jen’ Jen tweeted as ARMY commented on asking her if it had something to do with Flower Crew.
Earlier today, she had checked out the first episode of Jungkook staring on Flower Crew while taking a break from shopping. He had been talking about it for weeks and was extremely excited to be able to be on a variety show by himself. She thought it would be an amazing experience for him.
But when she watched the show, things started to go downhill as her blood began to boil. Jungkook bought burgers for the cast and then Jo Se Ho decided to act like an asshole and claim they were leftovers, making Jungkook upset and embarrassed.
An irate Jennie had to go on Twitter to tweet and then begin to type out her rant on her notes to post as photos for Twitter. She knew some would most likely criticize her for speaking about someone older than her in Korea like this but this needed to be said. You shouldn’t treat someone any type of way regardless of age. Her heart ached to watch Jungkook look so bummed and uncomfortable during the show. He did not deserve that.
When she brought it up to the members via text, they immediately went to Jungkook to get him to explain what happened as they all went into full protection mode.
“Why didn’t you tell us about this?” Namjoon asked.
Jungkook cringed at the memory and looked down. “It was embarrassing...”
The guys had sat him down to give him a pep talk and to make him feel better, they went out to treat him to lamb skewers.
Jungkook scrolled through Twitter and noticed a series of new tweets from their account, including Jen’s photos of her rant through her notes. He started to read:
‘With all due respect, what made you think your actions towards my best friend were OK? He’s on his first variety show alone, so excited, and took time out of his day and money to treat you and the rest of the cast to burgers. And you say they’re leftovers? You’ve got to be joking me! That’s not cool, Jo Se Ho. Jungkook is one of the kindest, sweetest souls in this world and for you to treat him like that is revolting. Apologize. Immediately. You lucky I wasn’t on the show because I probably would’ve been criticized and asked to leave after what I would’ve said to you on TV. This is unacceptable behavior. The heck is wrong with you acting like this on TV to someone? Grow up. Encourage us young people, not berate and embarrass us. ARMY, stay away from the cast's social media. This is the first and last time I’m giving this joke of a man the time of day. Don’t attack him online or the rest of the cast. It’s going to give a bad rep. You’re better than this. You do not need to attack anyone on social media, so please chill out, and let’s focus on more positive matters. Let us continue to give Jungkook love and support. Kookie, my Marvel bestie, your banana milk is waiting for you.’
Fans tweeted:
'OMGGG’
'Miss Bangtan said to not attack him online! Respect her request. We are better than this’
'Jennie snapped!’
'Can they date?’
'JenKook RISE! She said what she said!’
'And she’s giving him banana milk. Awwww. Thank you for speaking up Jennie’
'DRAG HIM!’
'Miss Bangtan has spoken! Thank you for being a great friend to Jungkook’
'THIS is friendship. She’s giving him banana milk!’
'I really want them to date. Because that last part was cute af.’
When Jen arrived back at the dorm, she had placed five bottles of banana milk down for Jungkook as he smiled appreciatively. He was then met with a tight hug from her and they stayed like that for a while.
“How are you feeling?” she asked with her head against his chest.
“I’m feeling much better now. Thank you,”
She looked up at him as he looked down with a smile. “Don’t mention it. Don’t let people take advantage of your kindness like that. And don’t let this ruin your variety show experience. He was a big jerk.“
“I won’t. I prefer Running Man. Especially when it’s with you,”
"We’ll be on another episode of Running Man, soon enough, okay?”
“Okay.”
The next morning, Jennie felt like she was about to die as she stayed in bed, clenching her stomach due to the most deadly cramps of the century. Every time she got her period, it was the worst for the first two days and she became a different person. If you say something wrong or look at her the wrong way results may vary when it was that time of the month.
Jungkook had been educating himself on periods and to get somewhat of an understanding of what women go through when it is that time of the month. Lately, he had started to track her period to prepare himself and buy things for her in advance such as a heating pad for her stomach. He even spoke to Jin about it.
The first sign that it was that time of the month was when she was bedridden and irritable. She doesn’t want anyone to bother her, always snaps at people, and tends to pass the time by playing games on her phone and napping. Jungkook didn’t take her irritation to heart, no matter how many times she snapped at him. Although she can be a little scary, he knows she doesn’t mean it. If anything, all he wants to do is cuddle her.
“I don’t care, go away!” she placed a pillow over her head.
Next was her weird food cravings. He would always ask what she wanted to eat. For some reason, she enjoyed eating potatoes and bananas the most while on her period. So, he always made sure to stock up.
One time he had given her smarties since he knew that was her favorite snack. But when she rejected them, that made him Jungshooked.
“Ew, I hate smarties. They’re disgusting. Throw them all way!” she complained.
“Wh-what? But you love smarties!” Jungkook tried to reason.
“Who lied? They’re gross. Throw all of it away. I don’t even want to look at them,”
“O-okay,”
Biggest mistake ever.
Because once she was off her period, she almost tore the entire dorm apart, trying to find her favorite candy.
“B-but you said to throw them away-“
“YOU THREW THEM AWAY!?” Jennie screamed, making him flinch. Jimin, J-Hope and V yelped and took cover, getting as far away from her as possible while Rapmon sat on the couch with his headphones on, oblivious. “WHY DID YOU LISTEN TO ME!? THAT WASN’T ME TALKING!"
He assumed everything she said was literal when she was on her cycle and decided to do whatever she said. But now he knew that if she said to throw away smarties, don’t do it. It was just her crazy hormones talking.
Today, during the first day of her period, Jen was lying in her bed, with a heating pad on her stomach given by Jungkook which had started to help.
“I hate everything...I hate my life. This is the worst. Why? What did we do to deserve this pain?” she complained, hissing at the sharp abdominal pain in her stomach.
She then felt herself get pulled back into a warm chest, getting closely held.
“Go awaaaaaaay~!” she whined, trying to get out of Jungkook’s arms.
“I’m not leaving you.”
“Go play video games with the guys or something.”
“I want to be with you,”
“Well, I don’t right now. I look like shit. I feel like shit. I am shit. Leave.”
“No.” he simply answered.
She sighed and decided to just deal with it, making him smile victoriously. As much as she hated to admit it with her stubborn attitude during her period, lying with him helped tremendously. She hoped he would stay after she woke from her nap.
--------
A few days later, playing video games in her room, Jungkook tried to focus on Overwatch while playing through his aching back. He had strained it when he danced too hard during the fire promotions. He had tried his best to hide it from Jennie. But this time, he got caught as Jen had been observing him for days.
“So, how long are you going to hide that from me?” she called him out.
“Hide what?” he asked innocently.
“Your back. You look like you’re uncomfortable. What happened?”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry,”
“Kookie, you’re never going to perform your best with that much tension. Stop playing the game for 30 minutes, come here, and lie down on my bed.”
“I-it’s okay. Really,”
“Really? You always ask me for massages. And lately, you haven’t been asking. Why? What’s the problem?”
He started to feel a little fidgety.
‘Because I don’t know if I can control myself with the way you touch me,’ he thought.
Lately, it seemed like his body was reacting much more to her. It was getting to the point where almost every time they made out, his lower region began to have a mind of its own. Sure they did some things during Prom Weekend but he had been trying his best to avoid being extra touchy these days until he could work on his hormones that were running all over the place. And with them not being alone like they were during Prom Weekend, it was getting harder.
Having enough, Jen rolled her eyes and took the controller out of his hands.
“Goodness gracious.” she huffed, exiting out the game
“H-hey! I was in the middle of the game,”
“I don’t care. Lie down. Now. I’m done watching you in pain like this.” she set the controller down and made him lay on his stomach on her bed after taking his shirt off.
“I told you, I’m okay.”
“I don’t want to hear it,” she sat on his behind, rubbing massage oil on her hands, and began working on his back. 
While massaging him, she proceeded to nag him, which he always thought was cute. He had to admit her hands were doing magic as he immediately felt relief from her touch. But his mind started to drift elsewhere as it started to make him feel fidgety again. Once he felt her nails lightly rake his back, his struggle to keep himself together worsened.
His mind went to a suggestive place, as he thought about her underneath him. He didn’t mean for these dirty thoughts to happen but he couldn’t control it. He knew her massaging him was a bad idea.
Did she know how much of an effect she had on him?
How much he was starting to want her?
However, Jennie was starting to feel the same way. His back was so broad as she thought about him pinning her down against the bed. How nice his lips would be against her neck and even lower.
'No, stop.’ she thought, shaking her head as she tried to block the suggestive thoughts out of her mind.
They weren’t alone in the dorm so maybe making out wasn’t the best idea as she thought of the possibility of being walked in on.
After massaging him, she went into her bathroom to wash off the massage oil from her hands.
“See how easy that was? And you feel much better, right? Next time just tell me to massage you. No more waiting that long to be massaged,” she stated. "I hate when you don't tell me that you're in pain. You worry me,"
As soon as she walked out of her bathroom, she was met with his arms pulling her to him for a kiss out of nowhere. It made her stumble back into the bathroom as she kissed back, pulling him closer.
This kiss felt...different.
More frenzied and passionate.
It made her body feel flush as she was backed up to her sink with his hands on it to trap her. 
‘You’re not alone!’ reality hit her which made her reluctantly break the kiss.
“The guys are here,” she reminded him.
“Just for a little bit,” he whispered, ignoring her warning, and leaned back for another smooch.
“Jungkook,” she warned again.
But he kept getting handsy which started to almost make her forget about the guys being here. But clinging onto the last resistance she had, she gently pushed him back.
“I want to. But one of them may walk in. Let’s make out later. Like when everyone is sleeping or something,” she suggested, walking out of the bathroom.
Remaining persistent, Jungkook walked out of her bathroom and shut her door, locking it.
“There, no abrupt interruptions on our alone time,” he shrugged like it was no big deal.
She stared at him in disbelief. He was getting bolder these days. The intense stare coming from him was making her go a little crazy.
“And what if they hear me? I don’t feel like dealing with them teasing us about it for a couple of weeks,”
“I won’t let that happen,”
“Easier said than done with your unpredictability. We shouldn’t.”
He reached out for her but she turned around to avoid another kiss. One more kiss and it was over for her. She needed to stand her ground. There’ll be plenty of more times to make out. 
But her avoidance was short lived when she felt a pair of warm lips on her shoulder blade. Trapped in his arms, she began to feel her legs weaken as she shivered in pleasure when he began to slowly travel up to her neck.
This was so dangerous.
Her eyes closed and she leaned back into him as her breathing quickened.
‘We should stop but this feels so good,’ she thought as she felt a gentle bite on her neck.
“Just five minutes. And then I’ll stop,” he whispered, gently biting her ear.
'Who taught him this?’ she thought, enjoying what he was doing.
Five minutes he said. Maybe five minutes won’t hurt.
Turning around, she wrapped her arms around his neck for a heated kiss, as her desire for him took over. She felt herself being lifted up and moved to her bed as he sat on the edge of it, allowing her to straddle him. Cupping his face, their slow, passionate kisses left her breathless as their need for each other grew. Gripping her hips, he felt her move against his hardness, making him moan out her name.
"Keep your voice down," she whispered.
"I'm trying...you’ve been driving me crazy these past few weeks, you know that?” 
When he said that, she felt this need for him that she couldn’t quite explain. She wanted to go further.
Securely holding her, Jungkook turned them over to place her on the bed as he hovered over her and kissed her again. He then slowly moved down to her neck making her breathing quicken. 
This felt so good. Everything. The way he was touching her. She wanted more.
“You want me to stop?” he whispered in her ear, making her shiver.
Five minutes passed already? She didn’t want this to end. Can’t he keep going and ignore that the time passed?
“I can keep going,” he said like he read her mind. The way she was looking at him gave it away. “But you’re going to have to say it, baby girl,”
'Oh my God, who taught him this? Who is teaching him to say these things? Because this was new and I love it,' she thought.
“Keeping going,” she responded breathlessly as he went back down to her neck.
Suddenly, she let out an unexpected moan when he found a sensitive spot on her neck. She quickly covered her mouth, making him chuckle.
“They definitely heard that,” she exclaimed. “We gonna get caught,”
“No, we won’t, relax. It wasn’t even that loud,”
“To you.”
“It was for my ears only and I’d like to hear it again. Can I try something?”
“Okay,”
“Trust me.” he leaned down to kiss her again, making her forget about her worries. 
He began grinding his hips into hers, making her whimper. She lightly scratched his back in response as she let out another sound. 
Okay, screw it. If they get caught, they get caught. This was feeling all too good right now, it was worth getting caught. She didn’t want to stop as she felt comfortable with him. She can only imagine how it will be when they’re ready to go all the way.
“Jeon Jungkook! I know you're in there!” Jin called out, knocking on the door, and tried to open it but it was locked. "Stop hiding in Jennie's room! I know you pranked me!"
Jungkook sighed out of annoyance, turning his head to the door. He looked down at Jennie to see her chuckling.
“It was nice when it lasted,” she said while he got off her and put his shirt back on. "What did you do to Jin?"
"I put eggs in his laundry. I guess he figured out it was me. I'm gonna hide from him. Don't tell him I'm here," he went under the bed.
That caused Jennie to laugh. She went to open the door to see Jin marching in, looking around.
"Where is this brat?"
"Jungkook isn't here,"
"Are you lying to me?" he crossed his arms.
"No, I haven't seen him all day. Have you checked the laundry room? I did hear him say he was going to wash clothes,"
-------
During the week of the Festa, JenKook had set up everything for the start of their Twitch Stream for Army. They had the equipment set up, everything was recording fine and they sat next to each other in front of the camera. They were located in Jennie’s Smartie factory for the stream.
Jennie tweeted the link, ‘Guess who is streaming!? JenKook’s first episode is here! Click on the link and watch! Let’s have some fun!’
“It’s on~!” she said excitedly
“How many people should we wait for until we start the stream?” he asked, spinning around in his chair.
“W-wow. We already have over 20k.” she looked on in amazement as she peered closely at the viewer count on the screen.
“It’s still growing. Now 70k. Might as well start now.”
Looking at the camera, Jennie smiled, “Yo yo yo! It’s your one and only Miss Bangtan!” she turned to Jungkook, waiting for him to speak but he missed his cue and they ended up laughing. “We’ll work on our intro.”
“Yeah.” he turned to the camera and waved, “Hello! Jungkook here!”
“And we are The Golden Duo! Welcome to our first Twitch stream. You excited?!” she asked the fans who rapidly replied in the comments positively.
“I am. I can’t wait to win,” the Golden Maknae said confidently
“If you win,” she shrugged.
“I will. I win everything,”
“Well, perhaps today is the big day when you lose, my good friend.” she ignored his glare which made viewers laugh and respond with ‘hahas’ and ‘LOLs’. “Today we’re playing...”
“The Impossible Game!” Jungkook announced in English as the game was happily on the screen, waiting to be played.
“How ready are you to get this going?”
“I got this. Let’s play,”
They played a quick game of rock, papers, scissors to determine who would play first. Jungkook managed to win and they launched the game. The music began as the orange square moved at a steady pace. Jungkook effortlessly pressed the spacebar as it jumped over the first triangle. But automatically died when he failed to jump over the second. He paused the game while Jen let out a laugh.
“I got this. I win everything,” she mocked in a deep voice.
“I’m just warming up,” he said, brushing it off.
“Oh, okay. Try it again.” she turned to the camera, “He’s warming guys.”
He tried it again and this time got further as she watched closely. Once the music intensified, the orange square kept moving up the blocks. Jennie danced to the beat, making him laugh and distracting him as he hit a triangle.
“Stop distracting me,”
“What? I didn’t do anything,”
“Stop being cute,” he murmured and tried again.
“Hop...hop...hop...hop again. And again. Hop. Hop. Hop-hop-hop-hop-hop,” she said, following the square’s movements while he concentrated.
He got even farther as he tried again but still couldn’t make it past the part when the beat got higher pitched.
“Okay, my turn!”
“I bet you can’t beat that,” he said confidently.
“I really hope I win so I can see how salty you’re going to look,” she started the game. She made it just before the beat dropped as she felt accomplished. 
Hearing him laugh at her error, she responded, “Okay but I still made it farther than you on my first attempt,”
As she continued, for some reason, she couldn’t get much farther as she kept hitting the spikes. Meanwhile, fans were amused to see Jungkook grinning at her failure.
“CAN YOU JUMP!?” she shouted at the screen after dying again, making him laugh loudly. “Look I’m just-“
PHEW!
“I’m just not concentr-“
PHEW!
“Can I finish my sentence without dying, damn!”
PHEW!
She sighed loudly and paused the game to rub her temples.
Jungkook glanced at her and the screen as a moment of silence occurred.
“You okay?” he teased.
“Shut up. Leave me alone,”
“Let the professionals take over,” he unpaused the game and began to play while she rolled her eyes and watched him. “It’s okay to lose to me. It’s fine. It’s normal.”
“I’m seconds away from hitting you,”
He giggled as he progressed, jumping up the blocks. But then he suddenly died.
“No!” he shouted.
“Let the professionals take over,” she mocked. “It’s okay to lose to me.”
“The keyboard is just glitching,”
“Oh! Blame it on the keyboard. What’s next?”
“Me beating the game before you,” he replied as he got back to the section he stopped at but died again...and again...and again.
The intensity of the game increased as Jungkook began to look more serious while playing, determined to beat the game. Poking the inside of his cheek, his frustration was more visible since he wasn’t progressing further.
He threw his head back and let out a frustrated sigh. “This game is rigged!”
“Is it now?”
“Yeah! I barely touched the triangle and it made me die! It could have let me go by it,” he whined as she let out a giggle. “Is something funny?”
“Yeah, you. My turn,”
She went to play, making the orange cube hop over the dark boxes and triangles with ease. As the beat dropped, the cube continued to make it up to the top without any errors. Jungkook’s smile fell as she progressed past where he stopped and stared at the screen in disbelief. She kept going as he turned to her and then back at the screen.
He went to read the comments:
'Omg look at his face! He’s shooked’
'I love how cute she looks when she’s concentrating,’
The cube hit a triangle and it was back to the beginning as she tried again.
“How!?” Jungkook exclaimed.
“That was luck. I was trying not to freak out as I progressed.”
As she tried it again many more times, she and Jungkook started bouncing in sync to the beat. The block fell down for a moment but then she didn’t notice as it hit the spike and it was back to the beginning, making Jungkook cackle and clap his hands.
“NO~!” she screamed, “NO! ARE YOU-ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?”
“Welp,“
"I’m done. I don’t want to play this anymore. It took me forever to get back to where I was,”
“Yeah, I think we both had enough,” Jungkook chuckled. “Well, it looks like we can’t beat the impossible game today. But we’ll just have to replay it on another stream in the future for round 2,”
Jen went to the stream chat to read a comment, “What game are we playing next? The next game we’re going to check out is Overwatch!”
“We don’t have a date yet for our next stream but just know when we do, we’ll tweet the link,”
“Yeah, so keep a lookout. It can happen any day, any time. All right, that’s all the time we have!” she paused and glanced at Jungkook. “We need to think of an outro too, don’t we?”
“We should think of something cool. Something catchy.”
“Let’s think of ideas later. So for now, we’ll simply say goodbye.”
----
With Matt Rife who lounged backstage before the show of Wild N' Out, he scrolled through Instagram to see the latest post on Wild N' Out's page. There it had Jennie announcing that she was excited to be a guest on the show in August with Desiigner & Angelina and hoped to take Nick Cannon's belt. 
"Damn..." Matt said as he scrolled through her Instagram page. "This girl is going to be on the show?"
He continued to lurk through her page, liking tons of posts.
“Damn...she is cute,” he said and followed her. 
On Instagram’s following tab where you can see the activity of the people you follow, BTS fans who watch Wild ’n’ Out and check who Jennie is following and who is following her noticed that Matt had followed her.
Mattrife started following JJennie_JW
Tumblr media
They even noticed his comment on her recent photo. A simple eye emoji with a smirking emoji.
Fans immediately jumped on the situation and began commenting and making Twitter threads to bring awareness to who he was and the whole Zendaya situation back in 2015.
‘GUYS! WE HAVE A SITUATION!’
‘Matt Rife followed Jennie!’
'They can never make me hate Matt. Shoot your shot!'
'White boys be loving some Jennie I swear lmfaoooo'
'Oh God...Jennie run. Run now run fast’
'Ew wtf he better unfollow her!’
'Stay away from her!’
'He bet not be trying to make a move because Jennie belongs to Bam Bam’
'He is not ruining my ship.’
'That is Shawn Mendes' future girlfriend! He better stop!'
‘Omgg lmaooo she’s going to turn you down’
'I don’t blame him for trying to shoot his shot’
‘Oh, he is handsome! Who is he!?’
'Get in line pal! A lot of people want her’
'He outta pocket for that comment ctfuu’
'Lol goofy’
'Jennie is single! So why not? He’s cute!’
'She single Matt! Make a move!’
‘Date!!’
'I honestly would not turn him down.’
“Whatever you thinking, don’t do it, man,” Nick Cannon warned with an amused voice.
“Do what? I’m not going to do anything,” Matt replied with a shrug.
“Nah dawg, you going to do some stupid shit on the day they come to the show,” Conceited joined in.
“What he tryna do?” Justina asked, interested in the conversation.
“He drooling over one of our upcoming guests’ IG page,” Nick informed her.
Justina rolled her eyes, “Here he goes,”
“What? I just wanna get her number. Come on! You guys can’t deny we’d make a great couple. She is fine as hell. Look at her. Look at them lips. It would fit perfectly on mine,” Matt rambled which made his cast members laugh at him. “You guys are some haters,”
“This is Zendaya all over again,” D.C Young Fly cackled.
“Matt, there is no way in hell Jennie is going to give you the time of day,” Nick guaranteed.
“You don’t know that,” Matt denied.
“Come on, Jen ain’t going to fall for just some white boy looks and so-called charm from yo ass,”
“Ain’t she in some Korean group?” Chicobean pointed out.
“Yeah, I heard that. What they called?” Justina asked.
“Bangtang or somethin’?” D.C called out.
“No, BTS,” Nick answered. “Seven guys and her in that group. Matt, do you really want to get yo’ ass beat by them boys if you try to make a move on her during the show?"
“They ain’t gonna touch me. I ain’t scared of them,” Matt said confidently, “Look I'ma make my move. I got this. You’ll see. I’ll definitely be getting her number. August can't get here fast enough,"
“He a lost cause. He gonna get embarrassed,” Chicobean laughed with D.C.
“Yeah, I know. And watch them Korean boys pop up on the show and say it’s on sight,“ Conceited predicted. "We ain’t helping you out. You on your own,”
Ignoring everyone, Matt went back on Instagram to look through her page and slid in her DMs.

Astrology observations n2
🌙 The moon signs 🌙
Tumblr media
Water moons
🌊 Scorpio moons , depending on the aspects, either had a protective caring mother or a mother who was incredibly toxic. The mother leaves deep traumas when it comes to communication, abandonment and trust issues. Scorpio moon behind their rough shell there is a sensitive sweet side. They are just scared to show it.
🌊 Pisces moons behind their peaceful and quiet faces, there is an endless chaos. They have extreme mood swings and infinite creative ideas. They are the tortured artist. The person with the talented yet troubled mind. Robin Williams and Kanye West have this placement and both suffer from mental illness.
🌊 Cancer moons are very protective and caring more than any moon placement. They feel this urge to nurture the ones who need it. It’s like a mother instinct. They subconsciously feel the ones in need of help. This trait can make them an easy target for narcissists who seek to drain their goodness. I also noticed many good singers have this placement Taylor Swift, Kurt Cobain, Halsey and Dua lipa are few examples.
Fire moons
🌋 Aries moons bottle up their emotions until they finally explode. And when they do it’s very ugly. They can say the most hurtful things just because their feelings got hurt. They are usually raised by a parent who has anger issues or a mood swing problem. Women with these placement have femme fatale energy. Angelina Jolie, Rihanna, Eva Green share this placement and they are mystically attractive.
🌋 Leo moons adore the attention and they need it. They are the golden child. Sometimes their surroundings expect them to achieve great deal of things. They feel they need to meet these expectations and portray themselves in the fanciest and best picture they can even if it’s fake.
🌋 Sagittarius moons only feel home when they are free, free to love who they want, free to do what they want and free to be who they are. They are usually raised by a mother who is very spiritual, open minded or someone who is extremely religious and close minded.
Air moons
🌬Libra moons have soft physical features and aesthetic.They are romantic to the core. You may ask them about their favorite movie and they will say «  Pride and Prejudice ». They are probably the one who is kind to everyone even when they are upset it doesn’t really show on them.
🌬 Gemini moons are so wishy washy. One moment they are joyful they other they feel depressed and bored. You may even question whether they see you as a friend or an enemy. They love learning new things especially by reading. They are into writing and journaling. Words matter to Gemini moons!
🌬 Aquarius moons are usually into spirituality and humanitarian topics. They hate short conversations, they need to talk about the universe, music, aliens, poetry everything. They also love to observe and analyse people. People with this placement are old peace-seeking souls. They like to help people and can see the big picture Princess Diana and John Lennon are an example.
Earth moons
🌲 Taurus moons are so caring and affectionate. Their love language is gift giving and physical affection. They may even cook for you. They are usually raised by a caring mother. Since this placement can be stubborn and possessive. They will likely get attached to someone very quickly and take time to move on.
🌲 Capricorn moons similar to Scorpio moons have a rough shell they seldom express emotions. This may go back to their early childhood and their relationship with the parents. When they express their love usually it is by acts of service or giving gifts.
🌲 Virgo moon are raised by mothers who are very critical of them. They usually put high expectations for them and expect them to meet all of them. Virgo moons like Bella Hadid do work hard and try to always excel in what they do. They usually have a good sense of humor or they are just good with words.

Hey there!! If your requests for the bakugo prompt list, would you do number 7 where singer!reader and bakugo write/produce Peppers by Lana Del Rey?
YES. OF COURSE <33 my usual reader is a lil different in this oneshot btw :) tw: smoking(?)
your boyfriend smoked a blunt across a leather couch in the recording studio. "i think it's sounds great, babe." he complimented, blowing out smoke smoothly. you were sitting next to him, writing down lyrics in your phone. your head perked up at the sound of his voice. "yeah? i think i wanna go a higher octave, though."
he shook his head. "nah, leave it. sounds good. maybe switch 'wine' to the second part." he leaned over, holding the blunt away from you while reading over the lyrics you two wrote together.
you nodded, erasing to what used to say "baby, i'll bring the wine if you bring the coffee" to "baby, i'll bring the coffee if you bring the wine". it sounds cleaner, you realized after singing the revised version.
"i normally bring the wine anyhow." he chuckled, manspreading back against the sofa. you quietly giggled and stood up. "let's record it?"
katsuki stood up with you, nodding before putting the smoke out. you stepped into the recording booth and put your headphones on as he sat down in front of the pc.
you recorded the intro/chorus 'hands on your knees, im angelina jolie' and took off your headphones. "was it good?" you called out, brushing some hair off your face. he grinned. "t'was great sweetie. g'ahead and do the first verse now." you nodded and threw on the headphones as the music resumed.
'me and my boyfriend listen to the chili peppers, we write hit songs without trying like all the time, all the time. i take off all my clothes dance naked for the neighbors, i'm like "fuck it, gonna give a show" i open up the blinds'
katsuki whistled when you were finished. "love it."
you guys got through pre-chorus and chorus before taking a short break. you and him laid back down on the couch, your legs spread on his.
then after a few minutes, you went back to sing verse 2 'i sit upskirt, dont have much to lose, i got a truck, i take it for a midnight, a midnight drive, yeah. my boyfriend tested positive for COVID, it dont matter, we've been kissing so whatever he has, i have, i cant cry'
you step out once your finished, lightly chuckling at the remembrance of your boyfriend getting the virus for a week. he got up and tickled your waist before planting a kiss on your lips covered in lipstick.

Hey girl!! I'm new here to ur blog and I'm curious Abt ur ships and headcanons for Harry Potter characters? I love ur Harry and Weasley takes but I want to know all ur ships lmao I was looking to see if u had a pinned post but I don't so I figured I'd ask 💕
Hi! Welcome to my blog and thank you for asking about my ships, I have a lot of them and I'm going to try and link some of my stories from Ao3. I put everything under the read more as it turned out to be a lot longer than anticipated!
Bill/Fleur - I ship them in a sort of toxic downfall(?), they're just the kind of couple that I see rushing in too fast and then not dealing with any of their trauma.
Victoire/SJ - they fell in love while Victoire was visiting her grandparents in Paris, he's a few years older and super sweet and doting on Victoire. They have a great relationship.
Dominique/Lorcan - more of a friends to lovers story, but involve an unplanned teen pregnancy, a family tragedy, and also lots of cousin drama, they somehow make it work.
Louis/Anamika - I really adore them, both of them are so quiet and shy despite being on the younger side of their ridiculously big families. They find a peace and love in one another that I find so refreshing and honest.
Percy/Audrey - one of my top Weasley couples! I just simply adore the pair of them, Percy is so sweet to Audrey, her shoulder to lean on while the world pushes her down. And Audrey is the complete opposite of her quiet and studious man, but that's what makes him love her more.
Molly/Artie - they're not exactly a match made in heaven, but they are a second chance romance. They loved one another at 15/16 and they come back to each other again at 20/21. Sometimes mistakes happen in life and sometimes you wake up after a night of partying married to your ex-boyfriend.
Lucy/Devon - She's a nervous wreck at her best and he loves her despite her self-doubt. They care so deeply for one another and she gets more and more confident with him at her side.
George/Angelina - They're resilient, the couple that can manage anything as long as they're together. A sweet pair of soulmates that saw each other at eleven and never looked back.
Freddie/LeeAnne - Another pair of soulmates that met each other young and who love one another so deeply and completely despite the hardships it causes.
Roxanne/Sean/Sasha - Roxanne has been through everything, she has been through so much pain and Sean helped her get through it. Sasha helped her see the light after so much pain and their love is so true and sweet after everything that has happened.
Ron/Hermione - what can I not say about this couple? I adore Romione and think that they are such an amazing couple that have gone through so much together.
Rose/Scorpius - my first OTP in the next generation, I just love the thought of their family dinners. They're definitely a couple that go through lots of ups and downs, but that never lessens their love for one another.
Hugo/Lyla - I love them so much, Hugo is so wild and Lyla is so anxious, but when they come together they manage to become something so entirely beautiful and happy together.
Harry/Ginny - I do love a couple that find each other over and over and over again. They're a couple that love one another in every moment and I love writing them.
James/Marci - coming soon, Nano2023 project
Al/Maggie - they were toxic young couple at 17 and grow into a beautiful and ridiculously loving couple at 21. They go on to become a staple at Hogwarts as DADA professor and Hospital Wing Matron.
Lily/Ryan - She's a bit of a wild child and he's able to wrangle her in, they have a mutual love of music and dancing, and they find each other in their darkest moments.
Draco/Astoria - we love couples that grow and learn from one another and they do that over and over and over again!
Padma/Theodore - a rarepair but a good pair, they come together despite their differences and they are such good parents to any child that comes through their home
Susan/Dudley - my first real rarepair, I love them so much and the story I’ve created for them means so much to me. They found each other over and over again and they found love even during a rainstorm.

Happy Birthday Lady Gaga 🎉🍰🍾🥂
She was born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta but is known professionally as Lady Gaga. She is known for her image reinventions and musical versatility.
Having sold 124 million records as of 2014, Gaga is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the only female artist to achieve four singles that sold at least 10 million copies globally. Her accolades include 12 Grammy Awards, 18 MTV Video Music Awards, 16 Guinness World Records, awards from the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and recognition as Billboard's Artist of the Year (2010) and Woman of the Year (2015). She has also been included in several Forbes' power rankings and ranked fourth on VH1's Greatest Women in Music (2012). Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010 and 2019 and placed her on their All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list.
Her philanthropy and activism focus on mental health awareness and LGBT rights; in 2012, she founded the Born This Way Foundation, a non-profit organization aiming to empower youth, improve mental health, and prevent bullying. Gaga's business ventures include Haus Laboratories, a vegan cosmetics brand that launched in 2019.
Lady Gaga has stated many times how much she admired Freddie Mercury and Queen. Her performance style on stage hints at inspiration from Freddie Mercury. We all know Freddie hammered those ebonies and ivories and so does Gaga. She received piano lessons as a young girl but like Freddie, she plays by ear.
Freddie exemplified showmanship, and Lady Gaga does, too. Mercury theatrically danced and flourished by engaging with his audience. Gaga can be more stoic and picturesque, and her audiences love to sing along. They both make you feel as if you’re in the audience of a historical theater.
Freddie wore leotards and bright colors — disregarding conventional boundaries of gender and sexuality. Lady Gaga does much the same, but perhaps with a more haute couture flair.
When it comes to on-stage costumes, Lady Gaga never disappoints.
Lady Gaga, who wore her own take on the sequined jumpsuit on more than one occasion, is among those influenced by Queen, a band she said she “worshipped”; she followed Mercury’s fashion trends closely. She once said she “hoped Freddie Mercury would have thought I was great.”
On her stage name, Stefani said:
“I decided that I'd been playing under my real name for so long I wanted a new way to reinvent myself. So I said,'What about Lady Gaga?' because Gaga is sort of crazy and Lady has such connotations."
“I adored Freddie Mercury and Queen had a hit with Radio Ga Ga. That's why I love the name. Freddie was unique, one of the biggest personalities in pop music. He was not only a singer but also a fantastic performer, a man of theatre and someone who constantly transformed himself. In short, a genius!”
"I’ve always been Gaga ... I suppressed all those eccentricities about myself so I could fit in. Once I was free, I was able to be myself.”
While it's possible that she might revert to her real name down the road, for now, it's definitely Gaga.
You took your name from the Queen song “Radio Ga Ga. “What is your all-time favorite Freddie Mercury performance? (Far Out Mag)
“When he’s in the king’s outfit, with the scepter. Equating oneself with royalty is such a female thing to do. We dress up as princesses and queens and we wear crowns, but Freddie created this image of himself as rock royalty. That performance screams, “Watch me! I’m a legend!”
Roger Taylor even praised Gaga in an interview in 2019
“Lady Gaga is fantastic. I think there are lots of similarities between her and Freddie. She is an extraordinary woman. She does have a great voice, very musical. She is a great musician.”
Gaga collaborated with Brian May (who had electric-guitar duties) on her songs’ ‘Born This Way’ and ‘You & I,’ which just so happens to sample ‘We Will Rock You.’
She admitted to "Falling to the floor crying and laughing" when she found out that May agreed to the collaboration. A dream come true.
“I had a blast working with Lady Gaga, she’s very creative. She’s not just a singer, she writes her own material. She’s fantastic and very inspiring. She’s a very human person underneath all those layers. I love her, she’s great. The persona she’s built up certainly seems to be working.” ~ Brian May
Wishing you all the best Lady Gaga! 🎉🥂

it’s time for my top 36 as of march. keep in mind that this year is super strong (rivalling my beloved 2016 in terms of song quality) and my top 10 has 16 songs in it. they also change placements depending on my mood
1. norway - i got chills the first time i’ve listened to this song and i get them every singe time i push play on it. pure art, so atmospheric, magical, the mixture of rock and folk with gunnhild’s godly vocals and amazing lyrics IN NORWEGIAN i am just beyond in love with this song IT WAS MADE FOR MY TASTE
2. estonia - it was the first song i listened to form the eesti laul line up and i just knew nothing was gonna beat it for me. it’s just so fun, with funny lyrics and a great folk-ish instrumental. crazy party of this year for me
3. the netherlands- gabber core on my esc?????? no way i lived to see this day. i am absolutely in love with this song- the music the visuals and the touching story of this song - instant hit. europapa has infected my brain permanently. joost was right 12 points to the netherlands
4. slovenia - this just so powerful, i love the siren core aesthetic and sound of this song. raivens voice is hypnotising like of a siren, you can’t help but get immersed in it
5. switzerland - it took a while to fully kick in but i absolutely love it now. the genre mix was a little bit confusing at first but now i’m just amazed at this combination of dnb opera pop alternative and rap - and the fact that it actually works together
6. belgium - they’re back to their dark pop era and IM GLAD. the outro had me on my knees, it’ll be so big during the live
7. lithuania - the 20s are lithuanias golden age, they are finally not afraid of sending their own language and they’re doing it with class. luktelk is a banger we deserved, modern, addicting. i hope for a top 10 for lithuania
8. italy - E LA CUMBIA DELLA NOIA💃💃 a true mediterranean banger, with amazing lyrics an overall full package, angelina is super charismatic, she’s a breath of fresh air for italy for sure
9. portugal - it wasn’t even my winner of fdc but i just fell in love with this after seeing that performance. it’s so elegant, calm, the lyrics are truly moving, everything in both the song and the fdc performance is so well thought out. some people will say it’s just another portuguese ballad but i think it stands out with its grace amongst the others
10. greece - it’s pop but an experimental one, mixing reggaeton maybe some hyperpop elements even? zari is greek to its core and while being very ethnic it’s also innovative and fresh. i constantly find myself humming this song. i can see it doing really well or finishing in bottom 5 - everything depends on the staging. but i love it i hope greece won’t be afraid to continue this more experimental route
11. ireland - my alternative heart is so happy to see a song and a performer like this on esc. you either live doomsday blue or hate it - i loved it form the first listen. it’s dark alluring enigmatic angry - an experience overall
12. spain - ever since it won benidorm my brain just randomly goes ZORRA‼️ ZORRA ‼️ZORRA ‼️in the middle of the day. it’s not even a guilty pleasure it’s just pure pleasure. i love how unapologetic this song is, the message of it, pure fun and celebration
13. ukraine - i absolutely love it as i do with almost every ukrainian entry although i have to admit it grew off me a little bit. it’s still a contender for the win in may and i wouldn’t be mad tbh. it’s a well made, powerful entry, ukraine always delivers
14. croatia - same like with the previous one it grew off me a little bit but it’s still a banger. this is croatia’s best shot at getting a top10 result and i wish them all the best. it’s pure fun and craziness
15. serbia - this year lacks ballads sm, so serbia (and portugal) have the chance to stand out bringing a cool down in between the chaos. ramonda is calm and reflective and so beautiful evoking all the right emotions. it feels very intimate even on a huge stage. i love meaning of the lyrics
16. sweden - is it a basic pop song? yes? did it also brought me to my knees with this beat and the staging? also yes. like i’m the biggest sweden hater but omg i just can’t help but bang to this song. it’s addicting. the norwegian twins have a pass from me
17. san marino - the funniest thing of this nf season. this not as good as arcadia but it’s still megara with their original style and a great vibe. if san marino fails to qualify with this then idk really.
18. armenia - ITS SO CUTE. it puts a smile on my face fr. ethnic banger through and through kind reminds me of trenuletul in a way (also there’s this polish party song “prawy do lewego” and idk if it’s just me but they have such similar vibes, i would absolutely go drunk dancing to “jako”)
19. denmark - idk i think i just have to have this one very basic song that i like for some reason. this year it’s sand. it’s really pleasing for some reason. nothing special as i said but i like it
20. georgia - your token ethnic girl pop. and that’s exactly it, it is a good song in this particular genre. and for this exact reason i can’t rank it higher. it’s good enough for me to put it here. still i am hoping for a q firm grorgia like let’s be real they deserve it more than anyone (with latvia ofc)
21. finland - camp. just camp. some people say that you either love or hate it but really i think it’s just fine. it doesn’t throw me off with its weirdness but it doesn’t excite me in any way. it’s just a weird little song in the middle of my ranking. but we’ll see if europe thinks it’s too much or exactly what we need. i can see it nqing
22. latvia - it was their best shot at q (although i still kinda mourn “kur?” it was such a nice song) but idk if they’ll manage to do that. it’s a strong powerful entry, but it can get a little lost in this years mix. dons is an amazing vocalis and if we had juries in the semis i know they would appreciate this song but with current system i’m not so sure
23. france - another ok song. i don’t really like the yelling ballad type but i have to admit this is well made. i’m still hoping for the revamp
24. poland - we had better options but this is also fine. an ok pop song, that’s it
25. australia - it’s extremely dated, it gives 2016. but it kinda started growing on me???? i love the usage of the aboriginal instruments and language it’s something original and i’m here for that.
26. moldova - again it’s fine it’s ok. but it doesn’t stand out much. moldova didn’t have better options (expept tudor bumbac) but it’s a let down compared to previous years
27. uk - i had such high hopes looking at the names involved in this song but ultimately it’s a let down. i’d does nothing for me. it’s well made once again but it leaves with zero emotions. comes and goes. kinda sad that they brought such a big name and yet failed to bring an engaging song
28. austria - this is so cringy. girlie is telling me that we will rave and then pulls out the most 2002 eurodance drop known to humankind?????? i mean it’s a swedish reject and it shows. in a way it is fun but more because it’s funny. idk i don’t hate it i just have a beef with it
29. azerbaijan - i’m very happy to hear the azeri language finally debut on esc. but the song is fine at best and bland at worst.
30. czechia - i know there will be a revamp but i’m judging the current version. this saddens and a lot. aiko has so much potential and this song fails to showcase it. it’s very american pop rock esque but kinda on a budget. i wanted to se aiko on esc but not like this :((
31. malta - a few revamps too many. nothing special really, average girl pop.
32. germany - this sounds like a last place i’m sorry😭😭 they’re asking for to atp. the guy is a good vocalist but this song is stuck in 2014
33. cyprus - this is just lazy. when will the cypriot hod learn that by doing the same thing over and over again they won’t replicate their 2018 succès. that was a one time thing and buying more songs form sweden and giving them to people with vague connections to the county won’t do them any good.
34. albania - they just sabotaged themselves with this revamp. it wasn’t a particularly good song before but the english language killed any originality it had left
35. luxembourg - this is just really unfortunate. coming back after 30 years with not even a swedish reject but singing dug up from a swedish dumpster? kinda sad for them but that’s what you get for rejecting your artists ogriginal songs in favour for shwdish bought ones
36. iceland - what i a travel agency advertisement is this? it’s not even about bashar loosing, this song is just bad. the only one this year i can use that word for. luxembourg and albania are whatever but this is just unlistenable for me. hera bjork is an icon already she didn’t need a comeback especially not this one.
thank you for reading for anyone who managed to get this far. i still have many things to say about some songs and nf performances that happened while i was inactive on here. and maybe rant about the STUPID system changes that they want to implement. but i still won’t be watching esc this year. and i won’t be active on here during the esc week (exams) so i just wanted to say that this could’ve been the best esc year ever, with amazing songs visuals hosts etc. but ebu decided to use all that to promote a genocide. so instead of uniting in genocide i hope that the amazing artist of 2024 will unite in humanity and raise their voice against the atrocities that ebu decided to ignore for the sake of money

My thoughts on the results of Sanremo 
This is my opinion so :)
1 Angelina Mango:
She deserved it, maybe not my favorite but I’m honestly really happy for her, the people saying it was rigged because it was the 10th anniversary of her fathers death can go fuck themselves.
2 Geolier:
To be fair, I don’t like this kind of music. I personally dislike songs sung in dialects (any really, not just ‘cause her from Naples) but if the people liked the song, then he deserved it.
3 Annalisa:
What can I say? She’s mother, she ate and left. She has an incredible voice (check out her cover with La Rappresentante di Lista) and technique. Great catchy song, overall very deserved.
4 Ghali:
Nice song and message, he has a great voice and the alien is funny. I don’t feel very strongly about him, I am pissed they cut out him saying “stop the genocide” from the raiplay recording tho.
5 Irama:
Heartbreaking song as usual, great chorus and voice, not so great verses (melody wise). Again,I don’t feel strongly about him.
6 Mahmood:
Catchy, great chorus and lyrics. Not my kind of music, but he is the sweetheart of international Sanremo fans and he his rightfully.
7 Loredana Bertè:
Amazing, ate and left no crumbs. Her reaction after she won the Premio della critica Mia Martini (which, if y’all didn’t know, is named after her sisters stage name, whom committed suicide) was so precious. Conclusion: loved the song and she is my sweetheart.
8 Il Volo:
Disclaimer, I feel very strongly about them and not in a good way, so get ready for slander. Ignazio is the only one who can hold the stage and pressure and I do admire him, Piero’s voice isn’t made to sing pop, please stick to opera and Gianluca… I just hate him.
9 Alessandra Amoroso:
A little boring if you ask me, but she has a stellar voice so nothing to say about her.
10 Alfa:
MY BABY MY CHILD MY POOKIE 💖💖💖💖💖😭😭😭 y’all don’t understand I love him so much he should’ve won the whole thing and Eurovision he deserves the world him duetting with Vecchioni made me bawl my eyes out it was so precious and amazing and fantastic and I want to see him live so bad you don’t understand.
11 Gazzelle:
He looks like he wants to die every time he’s on stage, song is okay, no big feelings. 
12 Il Tre:
MY OTHER POOKIE ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥 he was so great and I’m so glad he got a higher placement in the final ranking, you go baby <3333
13 Diodato:
Boring song, I disliked it but hey, you can’t win ‘em all, right?
14 Emma:
MOTHER. QUEEN. I LOVE HER!!1!1! I saw her live with my mom when I was like 4 and I don’t remember shirt but she’s so mother.
15 Fiorella Mannoia:
Very nice song! Liked it and she filled up the stage with her presence real well.
16 The Kolors:
They were my captains for FantaSanremo, I’m disappointed 😔 Blanka is in their mv though so this sin is forgiven.
17 Mr.Rain:
Meh, I don’t like the song at all, it feels dull and just a watered down version of supereroi and overall boring.
18 Santi Francesi:
My babies ❤️‍🩹 I really love their song, esp the instrumental and buildup. Nothing to say, I love them.
19 Negramaro:
Sorry but as a teenager, I am obligated to say this is old people music 😔💔
20 Dargen D'Amico:
His whole thing was being pro Palestine and we stan that. He also did give my mum many point on the FantaSanremo so good job Dargen! Nice song too, very underrated imo.
21 Ricchi e Poveri:
Tbh? Nice song, radio friendly and catchy! No big opinions, just dancing.
22 BigMama:
Robbed queen, she’s amazing and she served.
23 Rose Villain:
Great song but it does get boring fast.
24 Clara:
Nice chorus and voice! Another very underrated song.
25 Renga e Nek:
Ew. Just. No.
26 Maninni:
Very sad for him! It’s a little basic, but it’s well made and the lyrics are terrific, I think they’re my favourite in the whole festival.
27 La Sad:
*Inhales dramatically* LA SĮÆÀĀÅADDD. Okay, jokes aside, it’s a great song! Idk why it ended up so low, it was one of my favourites.
28 BNKR44:
My other winners 💔 very upset, I love them so much and tbf I do need Piccolo carnally so yk.
29 Sangiovanni:
I called it. I knew he’d end up low. Like Mr.Rain, it feels like a watered down and more boring version of Farfalle, which I really like!
30 Fred De Palma:
Not my thing at all, it sounds like any other soundcloud trapper. Sorry Fred, but your outfits did eat imo

The moment I was the happiest with V was when we goof around in the dorm
When I see V rap, I cheer him on proudly
Something I wish for him is many more years of friendship
The thing that connects me and him is our trainee days
I want to be your travel buddy
------
I’m thankful when Jungkook makes me happy
I dislike when Jungkook overworks himself.
The moment I was the happiest with Jungkook was 1-16-16. Haha what a great day.
When I see Jungkook happy, it makes me happy
Something I wish for Jungkook is more cherishing moments
The thing that connects me and Jungkook is how much we relate to each other
I want to be Jungkook’s Marvel Bestie forever
----
The next day for the Festa, a surprise video for BTS’ YouTube channel was released. Armies were surprised to see it was Jin in the kitchen, with an apron on while cooking. Then he turned around.
“There is a certain someone that I have unfinished business with Army,” he spoke. “Someone by the name of Miss Bangtan. I want my championship. The K-Pop title is supposed to be mine and I demand a rematch! You see, I was going easy on you and I’ll admit I underestimated you. But this time, I won’t be holding back! Jin will show no mercy this time! I mean it! I will win! I am worldwide handsome, do you understand!?“
The caption, ‘StopJennie2K16’ came up on the screen
“This time, it will be the match of my choosing. After doing my research on types of wrestling matches, I challenge you to a Falls Count Anywhere match! We wrestle everywhere! At any time! I am taller than you! I am stronger than you, and I will beat you! Jin versus Jennie part 2, coming very soon on your local Bangtan Bomb! Now...accept my challenge, missy! That title needs a more worthy champion to hold it,” he pointed his spatula at the camera and signed out after blowing a kiss.
Jen tweets, ‘Lmfaooooo what!? Is that how you coming? #Jen’
‘Yes, I am. Everyone knows worldwide handsome should have won #Jin’
‘You want a match? Okay. You got it. Challenge accepted. #Jen’
'We bout to go to war, we bout to swing today! Start training. You’re going to need it, gramps #Jen’
‘I am not a grandpa! Watch your back little girl! #Jin’
-------
For the day of their birthday festa event for V-Live, the members were currently at their dress rehearsal. Everyone seemed to be anticipating Jin and Rapmon’s dance battles the most as they sat in their seats.
“You’re freaking cool!” V encouraged as the lights went out, with Rapmon waiting for the music to come on. “Woo!”
“Okay!” Jen cheered as he began to dance.
Yoongi and Hobi started laughing as they watched him.
“His expression is daebak!” Suga said
“Oooooohhhhhh!” V cheered.
After he finished his last move, Jen started screaming with the rest of the members as they all cheered and freaked out.
“That’s my leader! He killed that 'ish! He killed it!” she shouted.
“Wow, you’re cool!” Jin added.
“He’s good. Really good,” Jimin praised.
“Hyung’s coming now,” Jungkook announced on the mic. 
“Wooooooooo! Let’s go Jin!” Jennie cheered as the lights popped on and he began to dance. 
Yoongi and Hobi were cracking up while she and V were bouncing in their seats, vibing to his performance.
“He’s so, so awesome!” Jimin spoke.
“Okay! Okay! I see you, Jin! That’s what I’m talking about!” Jennie shouted.
She was proud of them both. They worked so hard and it paid off. She knew viewers were going to enjoy it.
Next up was Jen, Jungkook, and Jimin’s coming of age ceremony.
“Ah, I think it’s going to be so embarrassing,” Jimin called out.
“We’ll look forward to it!” Jin announced.
“We're going to kill it! We'll be fine,” Jen cheered.
“Fighting!” V quickly said.
As the song came on, the members watched them dance. Jen was in the middle for the performance, giving it 110% as the members cheered.
"Look at Jennie!" Rapmon cheered. "Go, Jennie!"
Hobi pointed out that Jimin had gotten some of the dance moves wrong in the beginning.
“Their moves are different from each other!” Jin called out.
nan ije deo isang sonyeoga aniyeyo
geudae deo isang mangseoriji marayo
geudae gidaryeodeon mankeum
nado oneureul gidaryeosseoyo
jangmi seumusongil naege jwoyo
As the lights went out, they reappeared for their dance break which made the members laugh and watch in awe. 
Next up was Sope’s vocal duet. Jennie sat with Jungkook for this performance. Suga started singing first, walking on stage with Hobi.
“Okay! Vocals!” she praised, waving her arm around
“Everybody! Stand up! Clap! Clap!” J-Hope announced as he jumped around.
Jimin covered his face, laughing while Jennie stood up with her phone. Putting the flashlight on, she started waving it around. When Hobi started screaming into the mic, she sat back down and laughed, covering her mouth while Jungkook stomped his feet and slapped his thigh while laughing.
“Oh my gosh...” she said as they continued to sing all extra.
“My throat freaking hurts,” J-Hope said in the mic after they finished.
“That was cool,” Rapmon stated. “You guys are cool. Really cool.”
“You guys are good.” Jin praised.
“Jennie, you’re up,” the staff announced.
“Oh boy,” she got out of her seat and made her way to the stage.
“ENNIE!” V and Jimin cheered.
“Go, Jennie! Go, Jennie! Go! Go! Go, Jennie!” Hobi rapped.
“This is going to be funny,” Rapmon chuckled.
A couch was already placed on the stage and she kneeled behind it as the lights went out. As soon as the music came on, the lights popped back on and she rose up to sit on the couch and began to sing. The guys watched her admiringly and even laughed since they knew how much she preferred more badass concepts.
Hobi studied the intensity of her movements, making sure she was doing the moves right since she had asked him about a few dance moves while practicing. Rapmon nodded his head to the beat while the Maknae Line started dancing, swaying in their seats. Periodically they would shout silly things to cheer her on.
“Perfect weather can’t get no better,” she rapped.
“OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” the guys shouted as she started rapping on the couch.
Tonight, It’s the night
boreumdareul jomyeong sama
sarangeul soksagigi ttak joheun bam
gibun joheun nalssi yeolhansi wanbyeokhan seting
haneulmajeodo uril chukbokhana bwa
Suga nodded in approval and stood up to applaud. “This is my smartie!" 
After she finished her performance, Suga jumped up and down, "WOOOOOOO! My smartie!”
After getting off stage, she was met by high fives from the guys, who congratulated her on a job well done.
“I’m proud of smartie! She has done well with the rap!” Suga smiled at the camera.
“He’s so happy,” Hobi giggled.
Next up was V’s Cypher pt 3 solo stage which was what Jennie had been anticipating the most. She stood on the side of the stage with the members.
As the song began, V began bouncing. “Ohhhhh. Oh, oh, oh. Do you know this song?” he asked as Jennie danced with Hobi.
V even was wearing Suga’s outfit for the occasion as he began rapping his heart out.
niga mueoseul hadeun I will kill for
naega mueoseul hadeun I’ll be real for
ttokbaro bwa
ige baro niga ba baran beast mode
namjaneun dambae,

“Who the man told you crazy? Who the fella told you crazy, I’m better than ya lazy,” Jen mouthed, pointing to the camera.
kibodeuro hiphap haneun nomdeulboda
baek baeneun yeolsimhi salji
Rapmon squinted his eyes shut, trying to keep his laughs in as he covered his mouth. “I can’t,”
Suga had his arms crossed as he chuckled while watching V rap. Jennie looked like a proud best friend watching him rap while the rest of the guys stood there, staring at him.
“Hi, I’m Kim Taehyung, I’m so happy I get to rap like this. Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho- oh shit!” he rapped passionately.
The guys continued to laugh as Jimin threw his body forward, holding his stomach while Jennie continued bopping around with a proud smile on her face. Everyone made their way on stage as V started bouncing around for the chorus.
Haterdeureun manchi
“Okay!” Jen shouted on the mic, hyping him up while bending her knees slightly, rocking to the beat.
But no problem, I kill
“All right!”
nal mutgi wihae nae keorieoeda padaeneun sapjil
“Say what!? Frankly, you don’t what!? You can’t control my shit!”
bulsineul chamanaen ninjaga dwae dasi dorawatji
As he continued to rap J-Hope’s part, V started dabbing, which made them all laugh and copy his movements behind him. As the chorus came on again, V started dabbing around and Jen joined him as they jumped all over the stage dancing with each other. Suga took over his own verse before V could as they all laughed. And then V joined in.
nuga nae dwieseo nareul yeotmaegideun
nideuri chyeonol ttae urin segyeilju
“Uh! Uh! Okay? Okay? Fuck it up!” she rocked back and forth.
After the song ended, even the staff was laughing.
“You’re good,” Rapmon said.
“So we will watch him quietly like this during the middle and then when it’s Suga hyung’s verse, Suga hyung will rap,” Hobi said.
“I’ll create a surprise twist,” Suga replied.
“Yeah, do the twist, then V goes and then we can-“
“Together. Everyone do it together,” Rapmon suggested.
“And then at the last chorus, we’ll all play together,” Hobi added.
“This wasn’t planned, right?” Jimin asked.
-------
For the opening of the show, Jin and Jen waited for their cue as the camera was now on Jimin and J-Hope. The camera panned to them and they both picked up the piece of paper and held it together as it said, ‘BTS Happy Birthday’
They turned to each other, smiled, and started walking towards the stage. Then they turned around and blocked the camera with their hands.
“Hey, is this your first three year anniversary party?” Rapmon announced, opening up for Dope over the screaming fans who waved their Army Bombs.
After performing Dope, they stood on stage together and did their signature greeting. Rapmon started off by greeting the fans and saying that they were streaming on V-Live+. For the event, J-Hope and Jimin were today’s MCs.
“This segment is to recognize BTS’s three hard years and Army fans,” J-Hope announced. “It’s called BTS Awards.”
“Last week, we asked fans to pick our best photo, the best Bangtan Bomb, and the best moment for BTS,” Jimin said. “Let’s see the candidates and see who got first,”
There were chairs placed for each member as they took a seat. Jennie sat in between Suga and V. They checked out the candidates for best photo as they looked at the screen.
“Oh wow~!” Jen said. 
One was from the fire MV, the other was from their three year anniversary and the other seemed like it was from the Begins concert. The members watched as Jimin unveiled each photo which had a variety of dots on them to determine which one had the most votes.
“You need help?” Jennie laughed when Jimin pulled off the cover for the first picture but it almost fell over and J-Hope had to fix it.
“He always needs help,” Jungkook replied, making them laugh.
“Jimin, this almost fell over,” J-Hope said. “Don’t do that,”
In the end, the Begins concert photo got the most votes.
“Let’s pick our best BTS Bomb,” Jimin said as they looked at the screen.
The one where they were having fun in the hotel, got the most votes.
For BTS’ best moment, everyone voted for when they debuted. 
“That day was the start of our journey. So many memorable moments. We’re extremely grateful for you all being there for us for three years. Let’s hope for many more.” Jen beamed.
“We’re more than happy about this. I heard our Army fans have awards for us too,” Suga added.
“In our special BTS Awards, Army fans prepared awards for BTS,” J-Hope announced. “Rap Monster. The first of many. 772 Award.” he said as 772 meant clumsy.
“I present this award for his excellence. From BTS army fans June 13, 2016. There are other awards. Destroyed the world award.” Jimin announced.
That made Jen laugh with Rapmon and the audience. Rapmon also won the buy two shoes with 10,000 won award.
Jin won the looks good every day, Old Man’s Jokes, Everything tastes good/tasty meals, and Korean meals awards.
“He got five awards. I’m envious.” Suga said.
“Thank you. I’ll make an old man’s joke to honor this moment.” Jin said. “What’s the biggest nose in the world?”
Suga won ‘Otousan’, ‘Suga genius best man’ and ‘I can die for Naver’ awards. With the Otousan award, Hobi explained that Suga seems chic but cares for other members and fans. So like a father figure.
“I’ll do my best to be worthy of these awards. Thank you,” Suga replied.
J-Hope won dances like a God, shares hope with the world and You can depend on Hobi awards. Jimin won Jungkook’s mom award, fan café fairy and Fatal award. The fatal award was about his charm. V won A walking case study, Meant to be, and the T-Zone great looks award.
Jungkook won suspiciously quiet, Jungkook’s face but Jungkook’s body, and everyone’s guy award.
“Ennie~!” Jimin sang as cheers got louder once she stood up with a smile and made her way over to him. “Awards. Name. Jennie. I present to you the Smartie Gobbler award, Nike’s force of greatness and cutest DJ,“
“Why thank you very much,” she bowed, taking the paper. “One day I’ll be able to endorse Nike and become a true force of greatness for their product. Nike if you’re watching this, I am still available!”
“It’s been years. Someone from the company call her up,” Suga laughed.
She went to shake Jimin’s hand and then V eagerly shook her hand too before she went back to her seat.
“I want to give BTS an award. It goes like this, BTS always thinks of Army award,” Suga said and pointed to the crowd, making them cheer while Hobi laughed.
For the next segment, the members decide to make their own cake. A table was brought up on stage and there were two cakes on the table. Their table consisted of ingredients for them to decorate.
“Shouldn’t we just let Jennie do this? She bakes.” Jimin suggested.
“Yeah, a lot. And her baking is delicious.” Rapmon added.
“I actually baked these cakes,” Jen replied.
“Oh! Perfect!” Jin cheered.
“Thank goodness. It’s been a while since we had your delicious baking,“ V said.
“I also baked for Army. You’ll be receiving cupcakes that I made for you all,” she announced to loud cheers. “A token of my appreciation for embracing me here in Korea. Thank you again.”
“Awwwwww,” they responded and chanted her name, which caused her to smile and bow.
Bangtan was set to team up in two teams to decorate. For the teams, it was Jin, Jungkook, and Jimin going up against Rapmon, V and Jen.
“We have Jennie, it’s OK,” Rapmon said confidently.
As they decorated it, Jen used the icing to spell out BTS in a decorative way while V and Jimin began dancing around, entertaining the crowd.
“I need you to destroy these cookies. Destroy them and then sprinkle them all over. I don't care about it looking neat. It’ll look fine with the crumbs,” Jen said as Rapmon did what he was told.
After the time was up, their cakes were judged.
“If she wasn’t on our team, we would’ve screwed up the cake with the cream.” Rapmon laughed.
After the segment, they went to go change, meanwhile, a video was played of Bang PD. Backstage in a separate dressing room, Jen changed into her outfit for the Coming of Age Ceremony, wearing a suit. While she got ready, SOPE performed.
When she made her way to the stage, waiting to go on, she met up with Jungkook and Jimin. She high fived Jimin and turned to Jungkook.
"We got this!" she gave Jungkook a quick peck on the lips.
As the three of them got on stage, ARMY screamed and cheered as they performed effortlessly with Jennie singing the song and dancing in the middle sensually. 
After the performance, she quickly rushed backstage to change for the Full Moon performance. She wore an outfit similar to Sunmi's in the music video in black while going barefoot.
Sitting in a chair, the make up artist began to put red lipstick on her lips and finished up her look to make her look like a vampire just like Sunmi in her music video. 
After getting situated, she stood backstage, pacing around, as her nerves began to get to her.
“Perfect weather can get no better!” Hobi rapped as he made his way over to her with a bright smile. That helped calm her nerves and she let out a laugh. “You’re going to do great out there. Especially the rap,” he kissed her forehead.
Once it was her time to shine, she made her way to the stage. The stage was dark as the couch was placed in the middle, waiting for her. She kneeled behind it as she heard the crowd anticipating what was next. As the music started, she slowly rose up from the couch with the lights appearing on the stage. That piercing gaze in her eyes made fans scream as she made her way to the couch.
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(OK JW Leggo)
She began to sing in a low, mature voice as she sat on the couch and danced.
jigeum dangjang amu maldo pillyo eobseo
geudaewa naui nunbichi malhaejuneungeol
Bouncing in her seat, she shimmied her shoulders. Her goal was to see dance gracefully yet add the sensuality and keep it balanced. It also helped with the way she would be staring into the soul of the camera, which made viewers freak out.
malhaji ma amu maldo pillyo eobseo
chokchogi jeojeun nae ipsure salmyeosi dagawa ip matchwojwo
saranghandan ppeonhan geu han madiga
teukbyeolhage neukkyeojineun oneul bam
wae iri simjangeun ppalli ttwineunji
ja ije sigani dwaesseo
Standing up from the couch, she danced the chorus, as she made a moon with her fingers and extended her left foot to the side.
geudaeyeo boreumdari tteuneun nal, nal boreowayo
i bami gagi jeone hae tteugi jeone seodulleojwoyo
geudaeyeo boreumdari tteuneun nal, geudae sarangeul jwoyo (Jen Walker!)
Armies seemed to have screamed out the fan chants because she started to notice it was almost as loud as the music. She fought the urge to smile and stayed in her Full Moon persona.
i bami gagi jeone hae tteugi jeone nal boreo wayo (Saranghae!)
Slowly kneeling, she gazed at the crowd as she sensually rubbed her hands together.
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
Going back to the couch, she rapped, ‘Perfect weather, can get no better’
Which had surprised everyone. As she took her seat on the couch, she crossed her legs, moving sensually, rubbing her legs together.
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
Laying her body across the couch, she rapped smoothly as the cheers got louder,
Everything around us so so real yo
Tonight, It’s the night
boreumdareul jomyeong sama
sarangeul soksagigi ttak joheun bam
gibun joheun nalssi yeolhansi wanbyeokhan seting

Standing up, she continued to move her hips.

uriman saenggakhago i bameun gildago
geudae soneul japgo Walking on the moon
gutge dachin mun ppajimeobsi yeoreo

Sitting back on the couch with her knees against her chest, she went back to singing.
saranghandan ppeonhan geu han madiga
teukbyeolhage neukkyeojineun oneul bam
wae iri simjangeun ppalli ttwineunji
ja ije sigani dwaesseo
geudaeyeo boreumdari tteuneun nal, nal boreowayo
i bami gagi jeone hae tteugi jeone seodulleojwoyo
She sat on top of the couch to perform the choreography again.
geudaeyeo boreumdari tteuneun nal, geudae sarangeul jwoyo (Jen Walker)
i bami gagi jeone hae tteugi jeone nal boreo wayo (Saranghae!)
Standing on top of the couch, she slowly walked across.
bissoge i osi heumppeok jeotgo
neowa na danduri i gireul geotgo
dalkomhan sarangeul soksagyeoyo
Slowly kneeling, she rubbed her hands sensually again,
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
Perfect weather can get no better
Laying her body on the couch with her head on the floor and legs over the top of the couch, she ran her hands down her body sensually.
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
(Eh eh eh eh eh)
Everything around us so so real yo
Getting back off the couch, she danced while the crowd fan chanted her name eight times for the final beats of the song. Taking a seat on the couch, she crossed her legs and turned her head to the crowd for the ending pose. After the song ended, she was met by loud cheers as she laughed and bowed.
“Thank you! I love you!” she giggled and walked off the stage once the lights turned off.
After her performance, it was now time for V’s as he rapped cypher pt 3, dancing around the stage.
The members walked on the stage as they crossed their arms, staring at him while V rapped J-Hope’s verse. Jennie danced around, bopping to the beat, watching him proudly. She started laughing while V started poking J-Hope and then Rapmon. As planned, V and Suga rapped his verse.
For the last verse, Jen decided to rap with Rapmon, jumping around with him
Haterdeureun manchi
“What!?” She shouted in the mic.
But no problem, I kill
“Okay!”
nal mutgi wihae nae keorieoeda padaeneun sapjil
“WHOOOP! Frankly, you don’t what? You can’t control my shit!”
bulsineul chamanaen ninjaga dwae dasi dorawatji
After the performance, the members stood on stage together, while V dabbed excessively. They recapped their performances, praising one another.
“What about Jennie’s full moon?” Hobi asked.
Loud screams occurred as she covered her face and laughed.
“I’m glad you liked it! Thank you!” she said.
“That was a very sexy stage, munchkin. You looked fierce.”
“Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh,” Jimin sang while Jungkook and Hobi copied her dance moves by exaggeratingly rubbing their hands together, staring at the camera, making everyone laugh.
“I want to praise V. He did such an amazing job. You worked hard and your dream to rap came true. I’m proud of you,” she grinned.
“Thank you Ennie,” he smiled happily and they high fived each other.
“It’s our third anniversary right?” Yoongi asked. “What if we start rising again?
Suddenly Rise of Bangtan came on, hyping the crowd up while the members jumped around.
turn up!
la lala lalala lalalalala
turn up!
ni maeumeul jibeosamkyeo
naega watda jigeum allyeo
la lala lalala lalalalala
While the rest of the guys danced around on stage, Jennie made her way to the stage, standing in the background with a mic in hand.
“Uriga nugu! nugu! jingyeogui bangtan! JENNIE!” Rapmon shouted.
The guys surrounded her, hyping her up as she performed her verse.
“WHOO! My boys and I started at the bottom, now we rising up! And Watch out cause this bullet-proof girl is knockin’ down all the walls! Ain’t nothing stoppin’ us now, they got my back, I got theirs! We steppin’ over all the roadblocks. Our music is on and you can’t help but move to the rhythm. Don’t even try to hide it, this beat is sick, so rock with me now.”
She danced around all extra with the members.
“Ladies! Rise like a Bulletproof Girl Scout! Rise, be brave! Let's go, Jungkook!” She high fived him as he started rapping.
As the chorus came back on again, she threw her head around, dancing with J-Hope.
uriga nugu
“WHOOP!” she shouted.
jingyeogui bangtansonyeondan
uriga nugu
geobeobsi jibeosamkinda
“Cuz we got fire! Fire, fire, get higher! Higher, higher!” she sang.
uril moreundamyeon jedaero aradwo
As Jungkook sang, while getting on his knees, Jen got on her knees too.
Mudae wie oreuneun sungan
geudaeui hamseongdeureul nan neukkyeo
Putting the mic to her lips, she sang, “Geudaero yeongwonhi geogi isseojwo. Idaero jugeodo.”
Harmonizing with him, they sang, “Huhoeneun eobseul tenikka~”
After they finished the song, Satoori Rap came on, as the rap line performed with the vocal line jumping and dancing around on stage. Jennie milly rocked on stage with Jin and V joining. 
Fire came on, which excited the crowd even more as they performed and they wore special jerseys for the occasion. After the song, Namjoon began the closing remarks as the event was about to end. A chorus of awwws was heard. He then asked the members how they felt about fire being suited for them. After their closing remarks, they ended the festa with fun boys.
------
After the show, Jennie, V, and Hobi went out to have a night picnic while walking Tony.
Tony energetically ran around, playing with V as they were all seated on the grass, enjoying their food and light music in the background. The three reminisced on their festa event and Tony was lying down, enjoying belly rubs from V.
Looking up at Jennie who finished listening to Hobi about his performance with Yoongi, V said, “Ennie, I want to say thank you for hyping me up when I was performing and practicing for Cypher. It made me very happy. I appreciate that.”
Jen smiled softly as Tony nuzzled against her. “Of course! You deserve it. Now hopefully one day the rap line can put you on a cypher-”
“Noooooooo,” Hobi interrupted as they laughed. “Yoongi would have a fit.”
“Well, we’re still going to try and make it happen,” she replied.
The night consisted of laughter as the two boys made fun of her dancing to Full Moon. She retaliated by kicking Hobi in the butt, making him fall.
After they finished eating, they lay on their backs, in a circle and watched the stars.
She took a selfie of them and posted it on Instagram. 'Thank you for 3 wonderful years of BTS! I love y'all!'
Her comment section was flooded with positive responses and unfortunately Matt Rife even commented again.
MattRife: You are so gorgeous...
Which caused fans to comment to him to back off once again.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
Jen checked her phone to see a surprise text from Chanyeol.
Chanyeol: Hey Jennie! Congrats on three years with BTS! I wanted to discuss something with you. We have music on our repackaged album that will be released in a few months. We were thinking of having a second version of a song or two with a feature in it. We thought it would be great to have you featured in one of them if you’re interested.
That surprised her. A song with EXO? That would be so fun!
Jen: omg yes! ABSOLUTELY! Send it, please! I want to hear it!
Chanyeol: Yay! I’m sending them now.
She then received two audio recordings.
Chanyeol: What do you think? Do you think we can create something? Lay and Sehun can teach you the choreography. We can work on the lyrics. We’re making music videos for them too. It would be a pleasure for you to be in it too.
Putting her earbuds in, she pressed play while looking up at the stars. The beats for them were sick as she fell in love with the sound. She felt a sense of empowerment with it too, thinking of various ideas.
Jen: Omg.
Jen: Are you kidding?
Chanyeol: Don’t like the songs? :(
Jen: No goofball! This is lit! Both of them!
Chanyeol: So you’ll do it?!
Jen: Yes!! I’m in!
She was suddenly messaged with tons of happy emojis, making her laugh softly.
Chanyeol: Let’s discuss our schedules and when we can work on this

Dance with me, Nobody's watching
"Can't we just go together?" Fred asked, knowing the answer.
"We'd be expelled for sure." George said with both irritation and sadness. The two had been having this same conversation for the past two weeks. The Yule ball was coming up soon, and Fred has been insisting on them going together. The thought was taboo, to say the least, taking your own twin brother to a dance as formal as the Yule ball was. Two boys going together would cause enough commotion as it was, without them being related.
"I don't care if we're expelled at this point! I hate having to hide how I feel about you!" Fred was rather passionate about the topic; they had been hiding their relationship for close to four years. George hated having to hide too, though the thrill of sneaking their kisses was rather exciting, he wanted to be able to love his boyfriend as openly as everyone else was.
The day of the ball came rather quickly. Fred had finally dropped the subject of taking each other and agreed to finding other dates. George ended up taking Angelina Johnson, a Gryffindor from the same year as him that he knew from the quidditch team. Fred took Alicia Spinnet, another girl from their quidditch team. The two girls were close friends and got along quite well with the twins, though they had a hard time telling them apart.
The great hall was decorated with several tall evergreen pine trees and icicle like lights dangling from the ceiling. Everything was dusted with faux snow, looking much like a powdered sugar donut.
The boys spent most of their time joking with each other and their dates. But Angelina and Alicia didn't want to talk and joke forever. Alicia eventually convinced George to go onto the dance floor with her to slow dance. George held his hands on her waist, and she held hers around his neck. Alicia rested her head on George's chest, he was much taller than her. Fred wasn't the type to get jealous, but he hated watching George with Alicia. Angelina took Fred's hand and led him out onto the floor, far away from but still in eyesight of where George was. Angelina wrapped her arms around the back of Fred's neck and rested her chin on his shoulder. Her breath tickled his neck. Fred stared longingly at his brother from across the room. He wished it was George's arms around his neck.
Hours passed as Fred and Angelina shifted their weight from foot to foot, slowly spinning around in a circle. Fred looked back to George, who was seemingly in the middle of telling a joke to Alicia. Fred remarked to Angelina about how tired he was getting; she had been feeling the same way and suggested that they return back to their dorms. Fred walked Angelina back to her room in Gryffindor tower and left her with a kiss on the cheek before going to his dorm room.
Meanwhile, George and Alicia spent another hour dancing and joking in the great hall. Several people filtered out of the hall, some giggling others grumbling about having a horrible time. Alicia seemed to be having fun though, George worried that she would never want to stop dancing. Eventually her grip around George softened and she told him she was tired. They walked back to the tower and parted ways once they got to the girl's dorm.
When George returned back to his room, Fred was nowhere to be found. George, being quite tired himself, went to lay right on his bed. But he was stopped by a note left on his pillow that read with a smile "Meet me in the trophy room past the library."
George barely had to sneak out of the dorm, people were still staggering around the castle tired and sore feet from the ball. As he approached the trophy room, he could hear muffled classical music. Surely enough when he opened the door Fred was stood among the blinding trophies. He was still wearing his suit from the dance. He prompted George to close the door and he held his hand out, flashing a charming smile as he said, "May I have this dance?"
George took his brother's hand, and they began to dance. Fred planted his hand firmly on George's lower back, keeping his other hand clutched around George's. George stared at Fred, they may have had the same face, but George felt Fred was infinitely more handsome than he. His eyes were golden brown, his cheeks speckled with freckles like stars in the night sky, his lips rosy and curled, and his hair as red as the fire from a dragon's breath.
Fred removed his hand from George's waist and flung him out into a spin, quickly reclutching his waist to dip him. George's leg was near wrapped around Fred's backside. His eyes fluttered to Fred's lips which quickly met George's. The music playing faded into nothing when their lips met, everything felt right. George suddenly wished he was kissing Fred at the ball, instead of in the trophy room. He wished that he hadn't insisted on taking other dates. The thought of being expelled didn't matter to him when he was with Fred. Nothing mattered as long as they had each other.

hey so here’s 1,100 words about Arknights music, particularly what it all it, what it means, and how it relates to the game. it’s just an outline of a subject which could be talked about in much more depth, but i hope it’s interesting anyway
so loosely, i think we can break Arknights music down into a few rough categories. three at the broadist, that being in-universe music, songs tied to characters, and songs that are just songs. however, it’s more complicated than that
IN-UNIVERSE MUSIC
these are songs that exist on Terra, that an Arknights character could conceivably listen to. most directly, the songs Alive and Aflame Avenue, meant to be performed by the in-universe band Alive Until Sunset, as well as Ready by DDD, and Not Your Business Part.2,  Loyal to the beat, and Melting White (which seems to be about Magallan, who is similarly based on a penguin) by Emperor
we can also assume the songs Curtain Call and Rhythm in Literature are in-universe songs, as the characters they’re associated with, The Playwright and Phantom, are musicians, so this is likely the music they perform as a troupe
the songs March On! and Towards Her Light are both nationalist anthems associated with characters who have close ties to their home nation of Victoria, Horn and Saileach. this also goes for Keep the torch which is associated with Pallas, another nationalist character, this time tied to Minos. that song was even sung in a constructed language resembling Greek, further demonstrating its in-universe nature. the song Song of Fools is sung from the point of view of Iberia’s people, wishing for better times. 
Hunter's Song is the last song from the in-universe music category, as Skadi in the Under Tides event sings a song with similar lyrics, making it the only song to show up directly in-game
SONGS ABOUT CHARACTERS
i broke the songs about characters section into two subsections:
character songs: songs sung from the point of view of a specific character, but which might not exist in-universe otherwise
and
“associated with character” songs: this includes songs whose lyrics might not directly relate to a character or characters, but through other media such as a music video, may still relate to them, as well as instrumental leitmotifs for 6* operators, which, owing to their lack of lyrics, can’t properly be properly categorized as character songs
the first category has 21 songs in it and the latter has 39. from the latter category, A Grand Adventure (Durin & Myrtle), Bridge to the Dawn (Pinus Sylvestris), CONFRONT (Rosmontis), El Brillo Solitario (Thorns), Evolutionary Mechanization (Eunectes), Field in the Light (Pinus Sylvestris), Gazing From Great Heights (U.S.S.G.), Gearing Up (Passenger), Hometown Wind (Bagpipe), Lily of the Valley (Suzuran), Lithos (Mudrock), Neon-lit Bustle (Aak), Rapier (Irene), Real Me (Carnelian), Reconnection (Surtr), Self-observation (Saga), Solitary Journey (Ceobe), Sparking Hydraulics (Weedy), Stay Gold (Blemishine), Till the Bell Tolls (Archetto), Till the Wave Ends (Dusk & Nian), Tipsy (Mountain), Voices (the Abyssal Hunters), Y1K (Mizuki), Zone 10-8 (Ethan), 却阑珊 (Lee), and 醉飞尘 (Ling)
several of these, such as El Brillo Solitario or Gazing From Great Heights could suggest what in-universe sounds like, as it mirrors the real-life musical styles of the areas which nations in Arknights in based on. however, other than that, there’s little that ties them to anything concrete within the world of Arknights
of the remaining nine songs in this category, it can be broken into two further categories. most are seem vague. their degree of relation to their respective characters varies, but none can be said to be “about” their characters in the same way that the character songs are. this category includes the songs, Autumn Moods (Croissant & Angelina), Daydaydream (Ch'en & Hoshiguma), Everything's Alright (Magallan & Mayer), Hold Onto The Light (Surtr, Thorns, & Zima), Random Randomly (Jessica, Snowsant, & Swire), Spring's Pulse (Myrrh & Nightingale), and Your Star (Nightmare, Podenco, & Scene). these songs frequently combine characters who could conceivably be associated with one another but otherwise don’t have much connection— aside from Ch’en and Hoshiguma, the exception— these are more based in vibes than anything else
however, the songs Lullabye (focusing on Faust & Mephisto) and Requiem (focusing on Patriot, and about FrostNova) are more direct. they’re also notable for the fact that they focus on non-playable characters and seem to talk about specific plot beats. more on this later
as for the character songs, their quality varies, in particular the degree to which they relate to their respective character’s characterization. some are quite direct, and others are more vague. i’m not an expert in every character, so i won’t attempt to analyze all of them. still, the songs Across the wind (Ch'en the Holungday), Ain't Seen Nothing Like This (also Ch'en the Holungday) Awaken (Specter the Unchained), Bluish Light (Lumen), Boiling Blood (Blaze), CanNot Wait For (W), Double Dragons (Ch'en, directed at Talulah), End Like This (Patriot, another song focusing on a non-playable character), Eternal Flame (Fiammetta), Heal the World (Gnosis), Immutable (Kal'tsit), Last Of Me (Frost Nova), Magic Theorem (Dorothy), Radiant (Nearl the Radiant Knight), Renegade (W), Silver Lining (SilverAsh), Ständchen (Ebenholz), Spark for Dream (Goldenglow), Winter Absolution (Shining), Wrathful Cerulean Flame (Amiya), and Прощание (Hellagur) seem to focus on their associated characters’ feelings, and frequently involve their hidden emotions or motivations
there are two other songs that don’t fit in the prior categories, that being ManiFesto:, which features performers singing from the perspectives of Emperor, Siege, Lappland, Indra, and Ethan, and Rock the Night Away, which features W, Zima, Blaze, and Frostleaf. these being such eclectic collections of characters as they are, they’re not especially useful to look at as anything but a fun extra
IDK THESE ARE JUST SONGS
there are a lot of other Arknights songs, which are either instrumentals or only loosely tie into the game through vibes. frequently, these tie into events or special occasions. there’s not much more to say about them without going into analysis
After It All, Come to Light, Crystallize, AJURIKA - Fading Sky, Feels, Heart Forest, I Believe In Us, Infected, Lean On, Never Give Up, Operation Barrenland, Operation Blade, Operation Cinder, Operation Dawnseeker, Operation Deepness, Operation Lead Seal, Operation Pine Soot, Operation Pyrite, Operation Spectrum, Operation Wild Scales, Reversed Time,  Rewinding Breeze, Save Us From Ourselves, Speed of Light, Summer Wave, Survive, Timeless, Tower Fierce, Two Feet On The Ground, Under Tides, Untitled World, and Wildfire
CONCLUSION
IDK! this ended up being longer than i meant it to be. i guess the interesting things here are the in-universe songs or the character songs. there are interesting things that can be further extrapolated from this if one chooses to look deeper on it. music is something Arknights quite obviously puts a lot of thought into, especially with the character songs, so it’s worth giving it focus
also i might have gotten stuff mixed up here because there’s a lot of songs and a lot of lists if i did don’t be rude and just lmk

BACKSTORY
From the time that Stella was a little girl, all she ever wanted to be was perfect, and considering the family she was born into, it wasn’t difficult to see where she had gotten the inspiration from. Emilio and Angelina Castillo were picture-perfect examples of the great American dream. Meeting young and marrying soon after, the couple wasted no time settling down in a cosy town in Arizona; quickly becoming neighbourhood locals. While they knew that some residents may have been standoffish and wary of a young migrant, Emilio and Angelina managed to win most of the town over with their kindness, generosity, and most of all, Emilio’s charisma. Within due course, the pair became town favourites and when Stella was born, she was doted on and fussed over every minute of every day; a factor of her life that the brunette quickly became dependant on. She loved company and attention, and for a while, it came to her in abundance, until her siblings were born. Stella hadn’t known what it was like to feel alone until the Castillo family extended, and while she adored her siblings in her childhood, she couldn’t quite figure out how to adjust to this new arrangement. However, she never cried or threw fits for obvious attention, deciding instead that she would earn recognition from her parents by doing things worth praise. And so, the perfectionist was born.
As an adolescent, Stella took it upon herself to attempt as many different activities as she could; begging her parents to let her sign up for anything she could find. She was involved in everything from dance to sports and (to the dismay of her siblings) music. She had a yearning to perfect any skill that she tried, but none of it was for her. The only thought running through her head when she was studying or practicing late at night was, I hope my parents are proud when they see me. A thought that would consume her for years to come.
By the time Stella was in her teens, her father was heavy on the campaign trail to become a senator in Arizona, and while Emilio did his best to make sure their lives remained the same, Stella started to notice a change in people. Her peers began to treat her differently. Little by little, people whom she thought were friends started distancing themselves from her; making plans without her. She couldn’t understand why, and this made her frustrated; the isolation forcing the resentment she’d allowed to lie dormant in her bones to seep through her skin. She guessed that people assumed she was obnoxious and self-entitled because of her father’s newly elected status and her pre-existing obsessive work ethic. So that’s what she became. She pushed all her remaining friends away and developed a chip on her shoulder; wearing her new attitude like armour. It was futile though, as it did nothing to mend the hole that loneliness had eaten into her heart. By the time senior year rolled around, Stella looked out for no-one except herself and her family. She threw herself harder into her work, figuring that if people didn’t like her, then they would just have to respect her instead, and when she made her valedictorian speech, she felt satisfied knowing that she’d finally earned some acclaim.
After getting accepted into NYU, Stella studied Public Relations, securing a job in publicity upon her graduation. She matured with time and most of her twenties living the New York dream before she was offered a job on Marina Island. She'd started to feel a touch stagnate in the big apple, and while she'd never heard of the island, she saw it as an opportunity for a fresh start and decided to accept the offer and move her life there.
HEADCANONS
When Stella was growing up, she was convinced she was going to go into politics like her father. She’d listened to a lifetime’s worth of speeches and debates and was convinced she knew just about everything there was to know about the career. However, when she got to college, she soon found out that it was nothing like she had expected to be. She was afraid that if she told her father she didn’t like it that he would be disappointed in her, and because she craved his approval, she stuck with it for a whole year before finally caving.
Stella has a tattoo of a single rose on her hip as an homage to her mother, who took pride in the beautiful flowers she grew back home in Arizona. It's Stella's way of keeping herself connected to a small part of herself and her humble beginnings.
As bold and confident as Stella comes across, she has an incessant need to be liked, and as a result she is often cripplingly paranoid about what people think of her. She needs constant validation from people that she is valued and wanted, and if she doesn’t get that in a satisfactory way, she can become moody and upset and either withdraws inside herself, or lashes out.
Stella has previously found herself falling easily for people, however, she finds relationships incredibly difficult because she has a need to control things and doesn’t want to put herself in a situation where she knows she’ll end up controlling someone she cares about without realizing. She has also had some crash and burn experiences in the past that have made her keep potential partners at an arms length, and delves into her job to keep herself occupied instead.
Despite all of her flaws, Stella is deeply caring and will go out of her way to do anything for her friends and family.
