-

it all started at music bank a week into your group’s promotions for the new title track, when your manager entered the waiting room and yelled out that she had a surprise for all of you. you looked up from your phone just as the hairstylist had fixed your bangs and shot an intrigued look over to your closest friend in the group. she raised her eyebrows at you and mouthed: “twice?”

you knew then that it was all over for you.

even being at the music program today, occupying the same building as them brought you a rush you’d only felt going up on a stage and seeing a thousand fans gush over you. you were finally going to be able to meet them, actually meet them. not smile and wave from afar. you could finally talk about how much they’d inspired you, even take a picture with them. but you’d be lying to yourself if you said your heart wasn’t in full on palpitation mode thinking about finally seeing your favorite girl face to face like this.

you’d even set her as your lockscreen for god’s sake. but maybe then the rumors were true and her face does bring good luck or whatever. embarrassed just wondering what’d happen if she ever saw it, you shoved it into the shallow pocket of the tightest mini skirt the stylists could’ve fit you into and left the room with your members.

the meeting with twice was brief and took place in the most random of kbs corridors. most of what you’d remembered of it was tripping over your words, bowing a bit too much and too fervently, and staring at how gorgeous they looked in person. seeing them in concert was nothing like this.

“congratulations on your new song!” sana shrieked, pulling your leader into a hug and beaming at the rest of you. “ah, i love seeing juniors with so much passion!”

they took turns wishing your group the best and exchanging some encouraging words. you were avoiding eye contact with one of the girls in fear you’d combust, but felt her gaze lay heavily on you. The way im nayeon stared you down stirred something in your stomach and made your fingertips tremble against the copies of signed albums.

Unlike jihyo or dahyun, she barely said a word beyond the niceties. Which was odd, because nayeon was nayeon. Her expression was fixed and ambiguous, and you swore at yourself for giving into looking her up and down. She was wearing that outfit from the concept photos. the one with that fucking jacket and the tube top and that skirt. nayeon had her gloved hands on her hips and you had to tear your eyes away, afraid of letting your stare wander too much.

when your manager signalled for the group to get to rehearsals, you hurried to bow once more with your members and hastily presented the signed albums to twice. when you gave a copy to nayeon, she accepted it with both hands and a closed smile.

“thank you, y/n-ah~”

you turned on your heels and ran back to the waiting room to get ready. your members teased you for how pink your face had turned even with all your makeup on.

-

when filming was done, your body felt the pressure of the late nights and intense practices come crashing through. you were just glad you’d be able to get a full night’s sleep. stepping into the waiting room ready to change back into your clothes, the sight of your manager glowering at you made you wince.

“how many times do you have to lose your phone? you know, twice’s manager had to come all the way here to hand it to me.”

she sighed and handed you your phone, now with long, deep cracks sustained from a corner - it must’ve fallen out of your pocket while you were running.

you and half your members got into a van to get back to the dorms. as soon as you settled into your seat and got comfortable though, they started to take sneaky glances at each other and giggled.

“i used to think you liked nayeon-sunbaenim too much but i think she actually likes you back,” one of them teased.

“oh my god, did you see how she was looking at you?”

“or maybe she hates you somehow? either way, even i began blushing…”

“-please, please, please guys i think she was just like ill or something.” you were tired, sure, but the annoyance also had something to do with wanting to never think about the stray possibility of her liking you at all. you turned on your phone to send a text to a friend when you saw it. just as you were going to attach some pictures, you were greeted with a flood of selfies of nayeon.

you first raised an eyebrow at your members who were also busy on their phones, as if they played some lame prank on you. but you soon realised that you’d never seen those nayeon selfies before (you were surprisingly on top of twice content for someone who clocked an average of 4 hours of sleep), and that those selfies looked really fucking recent. taken today, recent.

there she was, standing in front of a bathroom mirror, your phone looking small in her hand, a thumb slipped under the waistband, pulling it ever so slightly down. as soon as you saw it, you dropped your phone onto your lap and took a deep breath. nayeon found your phone, nayeon took your phone, nayeon saw your lockscreen and nayeon used your phone to take insanely hot mirror selfies in the kbs bathroom.

all the other images you flicked through were just slight variations of the first, till you landed on a short video. playing it, you saw nayeon moving your phone back and forth from the mirror as she cycled through an array of poses, mouthing… something?

one of your favorite things about im nayeon was how she could sing like an absolute angel, light and airy, while having this depth and hoarseness in her speech. you pressed the speaker against your ear and upped the volume ever so slightly. the sound of her voice, nearly whispering, soft and sultry, forced a sigh out of you. you’d thought she was just spewing random numbers, which you would’ve accepted anyway, but then it hit you.

it was her number.

-

you [9:01 pm]

hello?

nayeon [9:05 pm]

what took you so long?

-

before your first date, all she’d given you was a date, a time, and an instruction: wait for me outside your building. the surprise in it made your breath hitch as you stepped out the front door to your dorm. the fact that you kept it a secret from your members and managers gave it the mildest sense of danger you craved after years of obedience. when you got down to the entrance, you saw nayeon leaned against her coupe in an off the shoulder midi and heels.

“you got down here a lil early… you this eager for our date?”

in an instant, your cheeks flushed red. first, because in the 3 weeks you’d been texting each other, you must’ve forgotten how beautiful she looked in person. then, because you looked down at yourself and realized how underdressed you were. nayeon clocked this, and you didn’t notice how she tried her best to resist smirking.

“sorry, umm… i didn’t know we were going somewhere fancy…”

it didn’t click that maybe she’d left that bit out intentionally.

“don’t worry babe, a pretty face like yours doesn’t need a flashy dress to make an impression.”

she opened the door for you then got into the driver’s seat. all the way to the restaurant, you held in the urge to ask her to keep her eyes on the road. it was surreal. being in im nayeon’s car and her driving you to your first date at a restaurant you could hardly afford on your rookie checks. her looking into your eyes, staring at your body like she’d eat you whole.

you’d admit you felt uncomfortably warm as she cursed out other drivers. you’d admit you leaked through your underwear when she gripped your bare thigh with her left hand and drew lines with her thumb. you felt her grip loosen and her fingers trace your thigh higher and higher until she pulled it back to hold the wheel.

“ahh! we’re just around the corner. i hope you like french food?”

-

you had a curfew, you had dozens of unanswered texts and yet you were tipsy in im nayeon’s apartment. putting down your glass of wine on her coffee table, you looked over at her floor-to-ceiling windows - a view of the han river at midnight framed perfectly - and shook your head at your stupidity.

your leader might kill you. your company could set your contract on fire.

then, you turned and saw nayeon there, bathed in yellow light, head propped against her hand, biting her bottom lip.

“thank you for tonight,” she said and set her glass down to take your hand and stroke the back of it gently with her thumb.

your leader was going to kill you. your contract was up in flames. whatever.

throughout dinner, all that initial embarrassment of feeling out of place in a dimly lit restaurant full of finely plated dishes and women decked out in jewelry, died down and was replaced by a heat that grew up your neck and between your legs. nayeon made you feel like you were the only girl in the room. like you were worthy of everything. like you were beautiful and good. you tried to play it cool but when she got the bill and asked you if you wanted to come over to her place, you’d never felt more easy in your life.

so there you were, the wine’s acidity coating your tongue, your throat dry, just craving her lips that were parted slightly, right in front of you.

“why did you give me your number?” you asked.

“because.”

nayeon licked her lips and you wondered how desperate you looked at that moment.

“and… and why did you take all those pictures?”

as brazen as nayeon was, you still caught her sheepish smile when it appeared for the briefest moment.

“i knew i had to have you from the moment i laid eyes on you.”

you didn’t know then how long she’d actually kept tabs on you for. she scooted closer and intertwined her fingers in yours, never once breaking eye contact. the smell of bergamot and citrus was intoxicating.

“and it worked didn’t it, babe?”

you hummed in agreement and tore your gaze away from her. but your sight landed on her cleavage and you turned dumb. at once, nayeon lifted up your chin and chuckled, just knowing how much you wanted her.

“texting me straight away like a good girl?"

“i had to.”

nayeon exhaled, closed her eyes and moved her hands to your hips.

“such a good girl for me.”

she kissed you and you never realized how soft lips could be. you laid your arms on her shoulders as she slid her tongue between your teeth, then sucked on your bottom lip till it was sore. when you shifted, you felt how wet you were getting just fantasizing about what that tongue could do to you.

when she pulled away, you saw the desire set deep in her eyes. she tilted her head and sunk her teeth onto your neck. she sucked and licked on your sensitive skin, and you didn’t notice how her hands got under your blouse. you were so sure she’d leave hickeys (and what will you even tell your makeup artists tomorrow?), but the way nayeon’s fingertips traced the curves of your waist left goosebumps on your thighs.

“i-i don’t think i should stay overnight though,” you whined, helping nayeon take off your blouse. “i’m already in so much trouble unnie.”

her bunny-toothed grin appeared as soon as you said that last word and she hurried to get your bra off. “don’t worry, unnie will take care of you.” she tossed your bra aside and steadied her breath staring at your tits. “fuck,” she breathed. “i wish all of seoul could see them.”

she played with your nipples for a while before wrapping her lips around one of them. you threw your head back and moaned, feeling her tongue flick at it and encircle it. she planted kisses across your chest making her way to your other breast and slipped her hands beneath the band of your skirt. you resisted the urge to just spread your legs wide open for her when she pulled it down. you never felt more like a slut than then.

after you kicked the skirt to the side, nayeon kissed you and you whimpered into her mouth. “can i taste you?” she asked, and you nodded and ogled at how the pinkness of her full cheeks spread to her nose.

you squirmed in your seat as you watched her carelessly push back her coffee table and get on her knees. it was mesmerizing seeing her fix her bangs the same way she’d always done when you watched her vlogs or interviews, except this time it was in person, and this time, she’d done it before forcefully dragging you closer to the edge of the sofa.

“fuck…” she groaned. ever since she saw you in that mini skirt, she’d been touching herself to the thought of taking it off of you. now you were in front of her, legs inching apart somewhat unconsciously, she was going to have you. all of you. with your underwear still on, she pressed your thighs further back and took a second to admire the sight of you.

“you’re so wet.” nayeon smirked and dragged her tongue from the bottom of your slit to your clit, the friction from the fabric driving you insane. “so wet for me.” she nearly tore your panties forcing it off of you.

she parted your pussy lips with her long fingers and lapped at your cunt with broad strokes. you writhed and wriggled, sobbing at the way her thick tongue moved onto brushing back and forth over your clit.

“nay-nayeon unnie…”

you bit your lip and looked down, catching her gazing up at you like she was going to devour you. you moaned with each shape she drew with the tip of her tongue.

“my little slut got wet even on the drive over to the restaurant right?”

her tongue teased at your hole, dripping with juices, then sunk into it. you tried moving your hips, grinding against her face to get more of it in, wanting so badly to be filled with her warmth.

“mmh…”

“what a slut,” she muttered, pulling away.

nayeon stood up and ordered you to do the same. she grabbed you by the wrist and yanked you to the window. instinctively, you tried to cover yourself up with your hands and angled your body to the side, nervous at who in those officetels and apartments across the river could’ve seen you.

“no, no,” she said in a low voice, getting behind you and taking your hands in hers, exposing you to the skyline of east seoul. you knew the odds were tiny, but reddened uncontrollably at the thought of some stranger being able to watch. your reputation could’ve been wiped just like that. everyone could’ve found out how much of a slut you were for nayeon. yet, she gently pushed your shoulders down and you obediently took that as a cue to kneel.

“what if someone sees?”

nayeon sighed and sat down, her thighs holding you in place, her clothed chest pressed against your bare back. “you’ll put on a show for them then,” she whispered, and gestured for you to sit down. “you’re good at that aren’t you?”

she forced your legs open, but you tried resisting even to come across faintly as having some sense of dignity. digging her nails into your skin, nayeon spread your legs wide open and you instantly felt the cold air on your pussy again. looking down at all those tiny cars stuck in traffic, at all the red and yellow lights of the city, you shuddered but gulped your doubts straight down. as one of her hands slid down your chest to your abs and finally to your needy pussy, the other groped your breast and rubbed your nipple between a finger and a thumb.

you couldn’t get over how warm and smooth her touch was. she rested her chin on your shoulder and you felt her lips hover behind your ear. “baby, i want the whole world to see you get fucked.”

the moment her fingers skimmed over your clit, you jerked your head back, resting it on her shoulder, and whined. she giggled right in your ear and you felt a wave of tingles run down the small of your back. the image of her eating you out was still burned into your mind.

this was the first time you thought that maybe she just liked to torture you, enjoyed the tension in your thighs as you tried your best to keep them apart. not squeeze them together to get a little more pleasure like a bitch in heat. no, you had more patience than that. just enough to to be able to feel the rise and fall of her chest on your back and not collapse to her feet, pleading to be fucked.

with her index and middle fingers, she slowly parted your folds and you heard the subtle sound of her smacking her lips. “such a pretty pink pussy. i can’t wait to ruin you. can’t wait to hear you beg and cry.” nayeon smacked your cunt and removed a hand from your tits to squeeze your cheeks as you winced in pain. “what do you want? say it.”

“i want you…”

she spanked your pussy again.

“you want unnie to what?”

“i want you use my holes and fuck me like i’m your fuck toy!”

just like that, the pent up horniness from nights wasted fingering yourself senseless to imagined scenarios with her spilled right out. you couldn’t tell how badly that sent her on a power trip, but you had somewhat of an idea. because nayeon dragged her fingers up and down your pussy like it was fucking nothing at all then shoved them so far down your mouth you felt them at the back of your throat.

“suck it,” she ordered.

you obeyed her and wrapped your tongue around the salty slickness of her fingers. you bobbed your head up and down, coating their entire length in your spit. all you could think about was them ripping you open. how she so easily held your tits in the palm of her hand. how much more they would stretch your pussy out than your own fingers.

she pulled them out of your greedy mouth and deftly brought them to your entrance. her fingertips dipped in and out like she was testing you, and the frustration nearly made you break free from her hold.

“please, please, please agh… please fuck me, please!”

she kissed your cheek and held your throat in her free hand. “if you say so,” she quipped, and thrust two of her fingers deep into your hole. she plunged into you fast and hard, you were just dumbstruck at how much they filled you up. she curled her fingers to hit your walls at an angle that made you see stars. your breathing grew ragged as she picked up the pace. nayeon’s grip on your throat tightened and you felt yourself reaching a point where you were so blissed out you would’ve done anything to keep her fucking you at that tempo.

“f-fuck me, fuck oh fuck, please i need you, i need more of you-”

without another word, she forced another finger into you and grunted at how tight you felt, clenched around them. “oh my god, you’re so tight for me,” she sneered, the thought of you feeling so vulnerable and small in her hands made her feel ecstatic. at that point, your brain was mush, and every word that left your tongue was some form of: please, fuck, more, or deeper.

“what was that? d’you want me to slow down honey?” she taunted, and drew her fingers back ever so leisurely. the pressure that was building down in you dissipated and you couldn’t help but grasp at her forearm.

“no- no i was gonna- nayeon… fuck!” you felt tears form and the corners of your eyes. how miserable you must’ve looked to anyone who might’ve peered into the window to see you just there, grinding and fucking onto her unmoving hand until it disappeared. her other hand still on your throat, she shoved you down so you were on all fours.

“you can’t cum now, no, not just yet,” she near growled in your ear. she pushed you around and shifted till your ass was up and facing out onto the skyline. it hadn’t crossed your mind until that night how thrilling it was being treated like a piece of meat in nayeon’s hands. your knees and arms yelped at the cold hard marble tiles, but your belly was hot against the silkyness of her thighs.

then, a hard spank landed on your ass cheek. you shrieked but why were you sticking your ass out even more after that? nayeon massaged your ass and rubbed down to the back of your upper thigh.

“i feel so sorry for giving such a good girl such a bad punishment, but i couldn’t stop myself…” she slapped your ass harder this time and you felt the heat and the pinkness form on your skin. “should i? should i stop?”

you shook your head.

“spank me and fuck me until i’m sore,” you sniffled and rested your cheek on the ground.

nayeon shoved all three fingers back into your sopping wet cunt and pistoned them in and out. the only times she’d ever paused for second were to land a slap on your ass. it stung like hell and each subsequent smack made your clit that bit more sensitive to the accidental brushes of her knuckles.

with every pump deeper into you, nayeon felt your walls squeeze tighter and tighter around her fingers. her arms grew tired and yet she just went faster, knowing how close you were getting.

“cum for me baby, cum for unnie.”

as another smack landed on you, the searing pain combined with the overwhelming pleasure was almost too much to handle. your breath hitched and you clawed at the tiles, nayeon’s pace becoming so unforgiving that you just had to-

“fuck- oh fuck! i’m gonna-”

nayeon nearly came to the sound of your scream. you came so hard you felt like your eyes had rolled back into your skull. speechless, shaking, shivering, even when you felt so overstimulated just having her still fingers inside of you, you could only swipe at her arm. feeling liquid stream down your thigh, you whimpered.

when nayeon pulled your exposed form into her arms, you were enveloped in her warmth and her scent. wordlessly, she rubbed your back and planted tender kisses on your shoulder, up to your jawline and onto your lips.

“i like you,” she confessed. and though it sounded so simple and so light, it gave you butterflies.

she cleared her throat and picked you up. you were initially surprised at how strong she was, then blushed when you thought about the definition in her muscles as she fucked you. she kicked open the door to her bedroom and softly laid you onto her bed. tucking you under her heavy blanket, she gave your forehead a peck and slid into the other side. with how dim the lighting was, you could barely make out how nayeon was just looking at you with a goofy smile plastered on her face.

“i like you too,” you admitted. she stroked your cheek and hummed in contentment. you looked over her shoulder and caught a glimpse of the time on her clock. “fuck. my-my manager, i need to let them know i-”

“shh, shh… darling please don’t worry.” all that fear and anxiety was washed away when nayeon shushed you.

“i’ll handle it, princess.”

Once Upon A Time:

(gifset 1, gifset 2)

"There's blood, wounds, captivity, bondage, a slow-dipping-mechanism, a big rescue, and excellent acting by Colin O'Donoghue - who delivers the tiniest whimper and the most delectable of trembles for our whump-loving eyes to devour!" ~ @killian-whump

"[...] Killian was BROKEN. Absolutely and heart-wrenchingly devastated. He was tortured within an inch of his life (… or death, I guess) and practically left to slowly drop into a pit of eternal despair.

Killian was not easy to break. He would get injured and get back up with a sneer and an "I'm alright love you should see the other guy".

But to reach that point? The point of telling Emma she should have kept herself safe instead of saving him from this torment, to hold on to her like she was his lifeline, to SMILE that small smile from the first bit of hope he'd gotten since he ended up there?

The relief upon watching this episode for the first time was visceral. For two episodes we knew Hook was being tortured, we saw him try and fail to limp to safety, we saw his resolve and defiance desperately hold on, we saw him accept his fate, we saw him preferring to be tortured further than hurt his friends… And then he got saved! And he had no witty comeback, no effort to hide his pain. He just fucking collapsed in the arms of his beloved, of his saviour, and held on for a moment to realize that it was real, she was there, he was finally safe.

Add to that some amazing, jaw-dropping, emotional acting by Colin O'Donoghue, how can you get any better than that?

Anyway vote for ouat. Because this whole torture mini arc existing is probably what caused a chain reaction of me understanding and accepting I love whump, so. I wouldn't be here torturing blorbos if it weren't for it 🤣" @piracytheorist

The Young Blood Chronicles (Save Rock and Roll's music videos, Fall Out Boy):

(link)

"Everyone gets bloodied, bruised, beaten up, tortured, rescued, limbs are amputated - it's brutal. Alone Together is particularly strong."

sorry for being late, but you want YBC propaganda? then you're getting YBC propaganda. I know you're a FOB fan, but I will be writing this for the benefit of those who don't know what YBC is, for better propaganda purposes! and yeah this is gonna be LONG. sorry.

So! The Youngblood Chronicles (shortened to YBC) is a series of 11 music videos made by the band Fall Out Boy, for their album Save Rock And Roll (you know this album, it's the one with My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark on it). The whole thing is quite short, less than fifty minutes long (even shorter if you don't count the uncut version's credits!!), and every single music video has some element of whump in it. This propaganda is gonna break down each individual music vid, and at i'll also talk a little bit about the irl context the album was written in, and why even THAT can be a little bit whumpy if you're insane like me!

(note: i'm going in the original release order over the uncut order, hence why i'm starting with MSKWYDITD instead of The Phoenix)

My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark: Arguably the least whump-y out of all of them, but man, seeing all of Fall Out Boy's discography and memorabilia be burnt while people are dancing around the destruction? Man, when you know the real life stuff (the reception the band had in 2009, leading to them to take a three year hiatus)... and at the end, you see four guys bound in the back of a van!! And that van is getting burnt!! Burn everything you love and burn the... ashes.

The Phoenix: NOW here's the first of MANY whump tastes you'll get. Patrick Stump, the singer/cutie of the band, gets kidnapped, tied to a chair, has his hand CHOPPED OFF and mailed to his bandmate/best friend Pete Wentz, then gets tied down and utterly tortured by women who are laughing at his misery the entire time, getting prodded and stabbed by tools for... well, you'll see. By the end of the video, Pete and the other two members of FOB (Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley) have been kidnapped by these mysterious women too, with Pete specifically getting kidnapped by the blonde woman he was in bed with when Patrick's hand got delivered to him. If you enjoy cute boys getting tied down, covered in blood, and writhing around like worms while getting tortured... well you'll enjoy all of YBC but specifically you'll enjoy this!! I did :D! The war is won, before it's begun, release the doves, surrender love...

Young Volcanoes: Good news, FOB has been reunited! Bad news, by the women who dismembered Patrick! And now all the band members are tied to chairs, hooked up to IVs full of god knows what types of drugs, and blindfolded (all except Patrick). They are then forced to drink, snort hard drugs, and are force fed Patrick's organs! Yep, all four of them are forced to eat their lead singer's guts, and are so fucking drugged up they don't even realize what's happening (and now you know what the women were doing to him in the last mv, and you even get a nice little shot of the hack job of stitching him back up)!! Patrick hallucinates everyone having fun, but of course, at the end, all of them are knocked out because of the drugs. Americana, exotica, do you wanna feel a little beautiful baby?

Alone Together: This is the song the OG propaganda mentioned, and for good reason. All four of them are shipped off into little personalized torture rooms, and, well, tortured! Pete is able to break out and even steals the hook from the girl who was torturing him, but little does he know that'll be his own undoing... also, in general, this song has some whumpy elements, specifically the line "my heart is like a stallion/they love it more when it's broke-in"... but notice how easy it is to hear "broke-in" as "broken"! At the end of the video, Pete is at least able to find Patrick (Joe and Andy have NOT been having a good time, either!! But sadly, they aren't found by Pete, but Pete DOES find Big Sean), and is even able to attach the hook to the stump (ha!) where his hand used to be. But something is clearly wrong with Patrick now. His eyes are yellow, and as the song ends, we hold on him, sneering and twitching. This is the road to ruin - and we're started at the end...

The Mighty Fall: First off if you say this is the worst song off of SRAR I will hunt you for sport. OKAY ANYWAYS, chronologically this comes after MSKWYDITD, and yeah, the four guys are the members of FOB. Pete is able to free himself with Patrick's new hook hand, and is able to get the other three out while Pete is hacking up a lung from the fire they just barely escaped. But they're not done getting their shit rocked yet. A gang of children show up (the leader being the kid Patrick waved at right before he was kidnapped back in the Phoenix MV), and proceed to separate them and beat the living shit out of them. The leader kid who's chasing Patrick plays something on a boombox... which triggers Patrick to go yellow-eyed again (from here on out i'll call it "going Youngblood" or "Youngblood self"). It was confirmed in the commentary track that ANY music would cause him to go Youngblood. And knowing Patrick IRL fucking loves to create/compose music... yeah! Take something he loves and turn it into something that drives him insane!! I'm normal!! And also the irl parallel you could draw to his solo career doing the same thing to him (on a less uh Dramatic level but you know)!!! Ouch!!!! Big Sean is able to save Patrick, but at the cost of his own life (and a killer rap verse... HELL YEAH I'M A DICK GIRL, ADDICTED TO YOU). Oh, how the mighty fall in love...

Just One Yesterday: The last vestiges of comfort you're gonna get for a WHILE. The four are separated, getting even more beaten up, Pete vomits up a snake, Andy gets his shit rocked by a homeless guy, Joe has to use white sheets as a makeshift tourniquet bc his leg got fucked up in The Mighty Fall MV, and Patrick is picked up by a kind stranger (hi Foxes! you have a very pretty voice! PLEASE KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL!). And finally, finally we get a hope spot. Fall Out Boy is reunited (the part where Andy just grabs onto Patrick's arm, in disbelief they're both alive... augh!!! AUGH!!!!), and for a moment, it seems they've been delivered to a hospital... before Foxes' eyes go completely black, looking at Patrick... and turns on the radio. She's able to trigger the Youngblood. And now Patrick is gone. The other three scramble into the hospital, Patrick not far behind, determined to kill them to stop the noise in his head. If Heaven's grief brings Hell's reign, then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday...

Where Did The Party Go: Patrick, now fully consumed by the Youngblood brainwashing, is now stalking his bandmates in a hospital. Patrick is seeing visions of the hospital as an abandoned party, Andy has to painfully disinfect the wounds he's gotten, Pete is able to call for the police, and Joe... oh, poor Joe. He barricades himself into a room, but not well enough. Patrick finds him, and kills him, slitting his throat with the hook hand, showing no remorse at all... until Andy and Pete find them. The Youngblood wears off, and Patrick looks to what he's done, and is horrified at what he's done to his friend. And, bad news for him, the police are here, ready to arrest the murderer. All Andy and Pete can do is watch as tears roll down Patrick's eyes. And for the extra IRL context, this was the first song written for the album that made Pete and Patrick realize they had to get FOB back together... so lets match that with a music video where the member who helped get the band together in the first place dies. By the hands of the kid he found. Let's fade away together, one dream at a time...

Death Valley: Joe gets... uh, a little comfort? I mean, he thinks he's getting sent to heaven but goes to hell, buuuuut I think doing drugs in rock and roll hell with Tommy Lee is actually a pretty sweet deal, better than the deal the other three got! Pete and Andy are being interrogated while Patrick is in a jail cell. We find out that the cult that kidnapped them, Silence the Noise, is lead by Pete's girlfriend from WAAAAY back in the Phoenix MV, Courtney Love. And at the end of the MV... Patrick is bailed out of jail by Silence the Noise. They have him again. And this time, they're not gonna let him walk out until he's fully under their control. 'Cause tonight it's just fire alarms and losing you...

Rat a Tat: Silence the Noise has Patrick, and they utterly brainwash him, A Clockwork Orange style, with electroshock stimulation to keep him from looking away or closing his eyes, until there is nothing left. Patrick Stump does not exist anymore. Only the Youngblood, pliant under the control of Silence the Noise, tasked to destroy what he once loved; music. Andy dies at the hands of the cult, and now Pete has to protect a briefcase, the thing that got them into this mess, and keep it away from Silence the Noise, all while his best friend hunts him down. Are you ready for another bad poem?

Miss Missing You: THE WHUMPIEST OF THE WHUMP. What if we were best friends but you've been driven insane and I know the only way to stop you is to kill you and it was my fault you got into this mess and I was the one who gave you the weapon that will be my own undoing. What if we both died at the same time. What if we died, both of us failing the mission we had before us. What if that was a reference to one of their first music videos. What if this song was originally written for Patrick's solo album but he realized it was more of a Fall Out Boy song so it was scrapped until now. What if there's a legit argument to be made that half the lyrics for this song was written by Patrick. What if we were both boys. Grips walls, yeha i'm normal. If you don't watch ANY other music vid, watch Miss Missing You. Sometimes before it gets better, the darkness gets bigger. The person that you'd take a bullet for is behind the trigger.

Save Rock And Roll: And our final track gives us a final bit of comfort. Patrick is able to overcome the Youngblood, and gets into heaven, where all of FOB is finally, finally reunited. God (aka Elton John) gives them new instruments and brings them back to earth, so they can do what they love; play music together. Which just so happens to release people from the control of Silence the Noise! But, because we can't have nice things, a cult within Silence the Noise got a hold of the briefcase, and summoned a spirit that starts to kill everyone. FOB stands together, and blasts the evil spirit, the blood coming up to the gates of heaven and covering Elton John in it. And... that's how it ends. No true resolution. Just Elton John covered in blood, as the song fades out. Oh, no! Wherever I go, go! Trouble seems to follow! I only plugged in to save rock and roll!

UH. AGAIN I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LENGTH. but i really wanted to express just how much WHUMP they manage to fit into less than fifty minutes, all backed by an amazing album colored by the three years they were apart. colored by how they grew, colored by how bad the hiatus was for Patrick specifically, colored by how Confessions of a Pariah got Pete to reach out to help him, and this album came out of it, Fall Out Boy came back out of it, and now here we are, ten years later, with the title track being performed every night for their concert, with all the band singing the final lines together, and the line you are what you love, not who loves you hitting every single night.

SORRY. LISTEN TO FALL OUT BOY. thanks for letting me rant.

❄️ Lucy Frostblade ❄️

Fantasy High Junior-Year Mini-Playlist

It's blizzarding where I am, so I've decided it's the perfect time to post my first Fantasy High NPC playlist. Lucy has been captivating my little theorist mind for weeks now, and God, I have so many feelings about her. A lot of the situations that I have this playlist highlighting are very much headcanons/theories about who she was, her relationships, and the events leading up to her death. (also, they are all winter-themed. None of them are explicitly "holiday," but one is holiday adjacent, as it comes from Sufjan Steven's holiday album and is inspired by Christmas, though it is instrumental)

Genres: Alternative, Folk, Instrumental

Vibes: Moody, Introspective, Spiraling, Winter

SPOILERS AND THEORIES BELOW

1. Winter is Blue, Vashti Bunyan

Winter is blue Living is gone Some are just sleeping In spring, they'll go on Our love is dead Nothing but crying Love will not find even One more new morning Why must I stay here Rain comes I'm sitting here Watching love moving Away into yesterday

Vashti Bunyan is a name in folk that you need to know. She's 79, and she's still writing amazingly gorgeous music. This one comes from my personal winter solstice mix that I've had since high school, so every year when wintertime rolls around, this song is always one that I am vibing to. I think the way it gets at this really soft sadness is perfect for lucy and how she worked with her goddess.

2. If Winter Ends, Bright Eyes

I dreamt of a fever one that would cure me of this cold, winter-set heart With heat to melt these frozen tears burned with reasons as to carry on Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow But I swear that I would follow anything Just get me out of here

Ok, this ties into a theory I have. We were only told a few things about Lucy in her introduction but one of the things that was reiterated several times by Brennan as Yolanda Badgood was that she was deeply sad/depressed. And part of that comes with the territory of her god, Ruvina, whose domain includes sadness, coldness, and winter.

Lucy, before her death, tries to switch her god (whether of her own volition or not) to Ankarna. Ankarna, as we found out, is a sibling of Ruvina and a Summer god, which might also put them originally as a god of joy and warmth- acting as a foil to Ruvina's sadness. So maybe part of the motivation that Lucy had to switch gods was to find something that could bring her out of her depression.

What confirms this to me is that in the d20 mid-season recap, after they show Kristen talking with Yolanda about Lucy, they end it with a clip of Ally as Kristen."Was it to something more positive?"

3. Winter Wonderland, Animal Collective

Mold of the fawn I have been frozen there for days With headlights reflecting in my face I must be cold on your lawn But inside I'm okay I can live without your time Where snowmen never melt Instead, they all went shy And if you don't believe in fantasy Then don't believe in fantasy Do you not believe in fantasy because it gets you down? If you don't believe it's raining I won't tell you that it's raining Do you not believe it's raining just because it gets you down? And if you don't believe in happiness Then don't believe in happiness If you don't believe in happiness then man you must be down If you don't believe you're dying I won't tell you that you're dying But do you not believe you're dying just because it gets you down?

You can find my thoughts on this song here!

4. The Incarnation, Sufjan Stevens

(instrumental)

This song I picture playing under the miracle Kristen performs, releasing the souls of Lucy and Yolanda in the forest. It is truly gorgeous, and I think the reverence and mystery in it is perfect for a miracle of doubt

[thefringespod]

Finally got smart enough to make my #AudioDramaSunday list ahead of time so I wouldn't forget anything for once! We're gonna start today with the newest Magus Protocol episode which was phenomenal. Cole Weavers wrote this one and I just adore his writing. Also: Augustus is here 👀

Early access for the newest ep of @souloperatorpod was this week and y'all have a TREAT waiting for you tomorrow. Tot continues to astound me with her many talents and we also get to meet a new character who I'm already in love with

@tellnotalespod has brought us back to Julia and Riley who are overworking themselves (especially Riley. Let them sleep.) I love getting to hear from them in these mini eps but they DO make me want to shake Leo even harder Leo please talk to your friends please

@camlannpod episode 2 released this week and my gods it was so much fun. A blend of deep and emotional scenes and comedy (I'm still thinking about "The CW lied to me") I love every character with my whole heart and have been loving all the theories on tumblr about the show

New @innbetween was so sweet I love hearing the Lowlifes become actual friends. Phoebe thinking that everyone wanted her to leave squeezed my heart so hard and everyone insisting she stay because she was the one that they wanted for the quest??? Just so so good

@somewhereohio has once again knocked me flat with this episode. The worldbuilding around Jasmine and what's going on with her memories is incredible! I am an Orange Splice stan 1st and person 2nd. Also the Nadia/Alex scene breaks my heart because I know how they end 😭.

New Technomancy Project was SO GOOD!! And I was FUCKING RIGHT!!! I said this before but I love having all of them play Belial's game this time around and I don't think there's a single EPO agent who didn't make me cry this ep. The Technomancy Project continues to kick ass

Caught up on last weeks @thesiltverses and gods it fucked me up (affectionate) B Narr does such a fantastic job with Faulkner. I love him. I hate him. I want him to get whats coming to him & I want to protect him from it at the same time. B's performance knocks me flat every time

There was another special episode of @wakeofcorrosion this week featuring the Fringes' very own @totcoc0a and @taytayheyhey! I will never forgive them for what they did to my heart <3 Shaun Pellington wrote a killer script and deserves none of the blame even if it did break me

Continuing to make my way through the Storage Papers this week and episodes 13-19 were VERY good. I said "Nope, don't like that" out loud multiple times while listening to 19 which is the exact reaction you want from a horror pod.

This isn't a new episode listen but @wpwcpod has announced their existence and cast and im SO FUCKING EXCITED!! Not only do I love CL Hendry's writing but it will also feature the Fringes' very own Ollie Bannerman and @chainofbeing Cai Gwilym Pritchard I'm so hyped

Also not a new episode listen but Athan (creator of The Grotto) has announced that his album is coming out on March 29! If you've listened to The Grotto then you know Athan writes killer music. And if you dont listen to the Grotto: DO IT GO LISTEN RIGHT NOW ITS SO GOOD

Here on the Fringes we're preparing for the second half of the season! Episode 19 is available RIGHT NOW at patreon.com/PineTreePods and will be available to the public this Wednesday! Also gearing up to finish the last 3 episodes of season 3 which I'm super excited for

And over on @forgedbondspod the first half of the show is written! The cast has been thrown into a discord and has access to scripts now which is super exciting, I can't wait for yall to hear what's going to come from the first 24 eps

And that's all for this week! It's a long audiodrama Sunday post but there's just. So much good stuff going on. Every day I'm so grateful to exist in this audiodrama space and to share my work with yall <3

~Manifesting Seunghan's Return~

I am writing this post so that I can manifest Seunghan's return. Do I think it will work? Absolutely not LMAO however, I do think it is worth trying. For God's sake I just want to see my boy back with his 6 goofy friends ripping stages and making history.

Now, I don't follow any specific template or rules when I want to manifest something. I don't do crystals or do tarot readings for this. I literally put it into the universe by speaking or writing it down and put my trust into all the things I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IN to make things happen. What exactly do I say or write? My gut feelings, hopes and thoughts. That's it.

Mmkay...I shall begin

-Recently a former member of NCT made a comeback that no one was expecting or even wanting...with the exception of his fans. I'm not sure why, but something tells me to expect something similar in the case of Seunghan. There are many people that think he (Seunghan) is going to get kicked out of RIIZE after going quiet for probably as long as the former NCT member. Because SM is...SM, I can understand why some people would believe that and honestly, I don't see why I should throw that option out the door because quite honestly, I don't know what the fuck goes on behind it.

-HOWEVER, in Seunghan's case, if he were to make a comeback and return to our precious RIIZE, I strongly believe it will be after RIIZE has established itself as a group. My gut is telling me that it is likely that he returns after they drop their mini album, however, it isn't clear. My gut is telling me that their management is taking this very seriously because they invested a lot in RIIZE and are hoping that they are the next big group in SM. Also, I am not too sure what my gut means exactly when it says that Seunghan is likely to come back after RIIZE establishes itself as a group. I don't know if it means winning a specific award or what exactly.

-If his comeback is RIIZE's next comeback, which I believe will be their mini album, then we should expect to see random sightings of him, which have already started. Two people claimed to have spotted him shopping in Hongdae in late February. Literally today (Marh 06) an article was released that confirmed RIIZE will have a comeback next month, and in this article they mentioned all 7 members. Then, the article was updated to not mention him... Suddenly his name is making noise again.

-I feel like his team genuinely does not want him to be removed from RIIZE, though. I think many of them believe that the backlash he received was insane and unfair.

-When he comes back, there will 100% be a song about regret

-I think there is a huge likelihood that he will return to us because his scandals were not crimes or morally wrong. I'm mad they're even called scandals tbh but anyway

-I have two images in my head: a twitter post about seunghan in a couple of years praising him for his hard work and remembering the nonsense he was put through in his early debut days. The post praises him for overcoming obstacles that he faced and for becoming one of the most celebrated idols....the second one is another twitter post that feels very sad. The person that wrote the post feels like Seunghan was wronged and is disappointed...The post is also in the future, years from now.

-I don't feel the second post as strongly as the first.

-Idk I keep seeing these images in my head that feel like relief, praise, and bittersweet. Compilation videos of the RIIZE members looking at Seunghan fondly

Okay...Enough about my thoughts and gut feelings...

I hope that Seunghan returns to us very soon. I hope the people around him acknowledge how unnecessary this "hiatus" is. I understand that they probably felt like hiding him because they didn't want to tarnish the group's image (whatever), but it has been far too long. I think they kept him locked away because they realized RIIZE was riding a high wave and they didn't want any scandal to interrupt them.

Actually now that I think about it...What if my gut feeling of them waiting for RIIZE to be more established is actually them waiting for the right time for them to garner enough fans and anticipation to release theirr first mini album? RIIZE has established itself as a pretty powerful rookie group despite all the "backlash" they received (using the word backlash very loosely here btw). They have the entire industry waiting on their mini album so what if now is when Seunghan returns?!

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but right now would be a good time to bring him up IF what I am saying is true... Anyway,

I hope that Seunghan is able to return to practice with his friends. I wish for him to be locked in and focused in the studio making music with his friends. I want Seunghan to tell the world how cute he thinks Sohee is, how Shotaro is actually the real maknae, I want to see him play around with Eunseok. I want to see him dance with Shotaro and Wonbin. I want him to joke around with Anton. I need to see him talking to Sungchan. I hope that all of these things can be done soon, on camera, for the entire world to see. I want the world to see Seunghan as a member of RIIZE. RIIZE has to promote as a 7 member group.

RIIZE is a 7 member group.

7. 7. 7. 7. 7. 7. 7.

Seunghan will return.

7. 7. 7. 7. 7. 7. 7.

⸻  WHAT  IS  HAPPENING  TO  RAEVIL,  THE  QUEENS  OF  HORROR  ? 

ib.  :  midnight  theories  &  news  accounts  on  yt  ! 

final  word  count  :  556

warning(s)  :  none  as  far  as  i  know,  but  do  lmk  if  you  find  some  ! 

THE  TIME  HAS  COME,  EVERYONE.  twenty-twenty-three  is  the  year  that  marks  seven  years  since  RAEVIL  debuted  under  GLASSHOUSE  INC.,  and  i'm  sure  that  everyone  has  been  wondering  about  their  future,  me  included.  so  why  don’t  we  go  down  memory  lane  and  explain  everything  that  needs  to  be  known  about  this  seven-member  girl  group?

RAEVIL  debuted  under  GLASSHOUSE  in  2016  with  a  mini  album,  REVEAL,  a  day  before  halloween.  we  knew  since  the  beginning  that  they  would  do  something  big,  especially  after  releasing  a  banger  that  is  BEWITCHED.  our  interest  only  grew  the  longer  they  stayed  active  and  promoted.  i  can’t  even  begin  to  count  the  awards  they’ve  collected  over  the  years  but  trust  me,  there  is  a  lot!  there’s  no  comeback  that  doesn’t  receive  at  least  five  music  wins,  and  i’m  being  humble!

from  what  i  know,  RAEVIL  is  the  first  group  to  have  every  member  from  a  different  country,  with  only  one  coming  from  SOUTH  KOREA,  while  others  have  been  scattered  from  various  places  around  ASIA  (and  one  from  RUSSIA!).  and  not  only  that  but  what  makes  RAEVIL  RAEVIL  is  their  intriguing  lore  that  only  adds  spice  to  the  group.  MARIE,  the  oldest  in  the  group,  said,  “  RAEVIL  are  seven  evil  immortal  mythology  creatures  that  are  trying  to  find  a  way  to  cross  over  to  the  other  side  while  also  wanting  to  avenge  their  previous  lives  when  they  were  still  regular  humans,  ”  which  is  mind-blowing  if  you  ask  me! 

now  let’s  get  back  to  the  present.  what  exactly  is  happening  to  RAEVIL,  and  why  are  fans  so  worried  about  their  current  situation? 

in  case  you’re  a  new  fan  and  didn’t  know,  each  group  must  sign  a  contract  before  officially  debuting.  most  of  them  signed  for  seven  years,  RAEVIL  included,  which  is  precisely  what  concerns  the  fans  now.  with  no  latest  news  about  their  contract,  fans  can  only  guess  and  theorise  whether  all  girls  signed  the  new  contract  or  some  of  them  had  some  disagreements  and  just  left.  the  members’  instagrams  were  a  little  slow  regarding  their  activity,  but  even  when  they  posted  something  new,  there  were  still  no  updates  about  their  careers.

the  group’s  latest  comeback  was  last  august  with  a  full  album,  FINAL  HOUR,  and  its  title  track,  OH  MY  GOD,  which  showed  a  more  sensual  side  of  the  members,  yet  still  kept  to  their  horror  concept.  as  much  fun  as  that  era  was,  fans  couldn’t  help  but  feel  saddened,  thinking  this  might  be  their  last  comeback  if  they  decided  not  to  renew  their  contracts. 

for  all  those  now  thinking,  “OH  MY  GOD  (literally),  this  is  goodbye  to  RAEVIL,  sob,  sob…”  well,  stop  thinking  that  way!  because  i  just  heard  from  an  anonymous  source  that  RAEVIL  is  preparing  something.  at  this  point,  ‘  something  ’  could  be  a  piece ��of  terrible  news  or  a  new  album  popping  out  to  be  a  part  of  their  vast  discography!  

don’t  believe  me?  check  out  YAOYAO,  MILA  and  DEE’s  instagram  stories  that  were  only  sent  to  particular  people,  where  they  mention  something  is  coming  up!

there  have  been  many  speculations  about  RAEVIL  returning,  but  if  GLASSHOUSE  hasn’t  updated  us  on  their  contracts  yet,  who’s  to  say  what  the  fans  theorise  is  true? 

for  now,  let’s  hope  that  the  spoilers  we  got  from  three  members  are  valid;  otherwise,  there  will  be  a  bunch  of  angry  NEMESIS  knocking  on  GLASSHOUSE’s  front  doors.

holy shit

3 weeks of editing and basically 2 years of game play to get the best clips edited in the very best way and holy shit the montage is so close to done there is only room for 1 more clip and i just have to wait for my guy to be able to send to me and as bad as i want him to just see it because its so good its TOO good to spoil i cant show him it unfinished i need him to see it completely finished so he can experience the the little mini movie event that ive put together in just under 4 min i did so much editing and touched up the clips themselves even to make sure none looked dull or flat and i brightened up night time clips and etc etc etc i just want this video to be perfect cause i think of it as a legacy in a silly way in however many years we'll be able to look back and go "remember that time we started getting pretty good at beach aw in gta online?" and just having the proof to myself and not having to rely on memory and being able to relive those things, thats really what i think the channel is all together, i never made it to be a big youtber i made is for personal prosperity and now its just in prosperity for me and my guy. Our channel is just going to be a little section of memories and as much as i love gta its why i want to post other stuff too because i feel like eventually a large amount of memories and things will be had uploading different things and being able to capture that is really precious. I couldnt do that in my childhood, what i would give to have streams of me when i was little playing crash bandicoot with my sisters or spyro the dragon. I have these really faint flashes of memory but not much else and i wish i could just have those moments preserved like me and him do right now. I think im gunna start really doing different things with the channel now that im fully realizing this just uploading whatever we wantg to anything and eveyrthing because i basically just want it to be a time capsule and i know i know "youtube is a private service its not guaranteed your videos will always be there" okay we'd lose some stuff a little bit of raw footage here and there and we'd lose most of the streams but all the public videos on the channel i have backed up to a hard drive and now that im also realizing that in context i'll need a hard drve to start backing up the raw footage of streams to preserve those in perpetuity as well. Growing up we had photo albums that was like your definitive little book of memories but you can have so much more now, you can have almost every part of a person you can have their face and their voice and their presence you can re live those moments without having to try as hard as you can to remember and human memory sucks and is flawed you dont remembers things how you think you do, you think its like finding a file on a computer and putting it away but the brain doesnt work like that every time you remember something you remember the last time you remembered it. So the more often you remember something the likely it is details to change but it can make entire scenarios change because everytime you've remembered it you're altering the file its like your pulling up the file, trying to copy it really quick, we're human so we have certain tendencies and those play out subconsciously, copying the file and adding your extra human brain goo smudges to it and putting it back and very time you remembers it this happens those smudges build up more and more god damn i nailed that metaphor lets go OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH's in the chat folks

#im high #i love you #your my guy #i hope i dont look crazy i just think alot #uhm i want bacon #and cuddles #in that order

Max, Barb, Dustin, and Robin!!! 💛

Max🛹: What are your top five songs right now?

Currently listening to these songs on repeat:

Silk Chiffon - MUNA ft. Phoebe Bridgers (partially for my Ronance wip, partially because it's catchy as hell)

Strange Love - Halsey (bc it's such a Steddie song omg)

Fuck About It - Waterparks (once again, a Steddie song but more on the angsty side)

WTF Do I Know - Miley Cyrus (her album Plastic Hearts is one of my all-time favorites)

Last Christmas - Wham! (tis the season)

Barb 👓: What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen a stranger do that you still think about today?

Christ, I don't knoooowww. Well, there is one thing from my high school trip to Rome but I didn't actually see it (thank God) but I heard of it and it still boggles my mind to this day. Basically one couple got very, well, intimate while we were ON THE BUS, with only a blanket to cover them??? And then there was this other girl who admitted to giving herself a whole lot of self loving during another school trip (to France this time) and ONCE AGAIN ON THE BUS??? I mean go explore your sexuality all you want but WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS ON THE BUS WHILE THERE ARE TEACHERS AND STUDENT PRESENT??????

Dustin 🧢: If you were a piece of media, what iconic trope(s) would you be?

Oooh that's a tough one, so many tropes to choose from! I just went through a list of characters I identify with and I came up with: deadpan snarker (thanks Stiles Stilinski), perfectionist and geeky turn-on (thanks Amy Santiago), competition freak (thanks Annie Edison), spoiled sweet and cheery pink (thanks Elle Woods)

Robin 🎺: What piece of media secured your sexuality early on?

Let me tell you about the masterpiece that is Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001). An underrated Disney movie about Milo Thatch who joins a crew on a journey to discover the long lost empire of Atlantis. It's an amazing movie on so many levels (the animation, the story line, the humor) but I swear this movie made me the bi girlie you see before you today. Because on one hand we have cute, stumbling yet bad-ass when he wants to historian/linguist Milo Thatch, and on the other hand we have Kida, who's just so cool and pretty and strong and mini-me was OBSESSED with them. Now looking back, Helga Sinclair also did things to my brain that I didn't quite understand but like 👀👀👀

#thanks for asking lovely!! 💛💛 #legitcookie #asks

[confusions-shed-of-ideas]

So the Octopath Traveler 2 demo trailer came out and I am screaming /pos

(Spoilers for the trailer! no I don't have the demo downloaded unfortunately I don't have the time to play it)

I have so much to talk about

Characters

I love them all so much. Gently holds. They just make me so happy

It's so cool knowing that they'll have connected storyline things with each other because now they'll get more interaction and that's what we were missing in the first game. Pretty excited for that :) I'm really looking forward to exploring all the characters' stories because they all seem really cool so far

The voice acting for all of them is just incredible. All the VAs did such a good job and I'm in awe because the voices just fit the characters really well

If I had to pick one or two characters to start with it would have to be Hikari or Throné because they were the two that have caught my attention in the beginning lmao

Music

THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD??? HOW??

I expected nothing less since the music in the first game was absolutely god tier as well but damn??? The character themes were stunning and I think that was one of the battle tracks we heard as well

I love music so much this is going to be so great ahdhgjdjdhjfkd

Can't wait for the spotify album to come out as well because you bet I'll be adding a ton of tracks in my playlist

Gameplay

It looks like the original game but cooler. I don't really know how to describe it lol

I've never played a JRPG before octopath and I found the battle system really cool so it's nice to see that they've managed to go above and beyond for this game. The concept of latent powers seem awesome and I can't wait to see what they're all about in game

I've been looking at the sprites throughout the video and the different job sprites look cool as well! I think I may have spotted a few advanced job sprites but I'll have to double check lmao

Also can I just say that I didn't know I needed to see a super cool angle change in this game because DAMN THOSE ARE SO. COOL HGJDJJF

Scenery/Backdrop idk I'll edit this later because I Cannot think of the right word for some reason

Gorgeous as expected. Each location has its own unique vibe and I really really love that. It's just so cool seeing so many different biomes

And the fact that there are mini canoes??? AND A SHIP?? HELLO?? I'm so excited I live little boats. Each traveler will get their own little boat as they travel through the rivers oh my god

I like how these regions look different in comparison to the first game so it just highlights that this is a whole new world to explore. I think that's neat. Also I'm liking the steampunk thing Paritio's hometown has going on. Locomotive trains?? In octopath traveler?? Who would've thought?

Extra bonus detail

I've noticed they've kind of already established the OCTOPATH order for this game in the thumbnail of the trailer (shown below)

From left to right: Osvald, Castti, Temenos, Ochette, Paritio, Agnea, Throné, Hikari

So that confirms Osval being the first O, Ochette being the second O, Temenos being the first T and Throné being the second T

Pretty neat if you ask me

Okay that's it lmao if you've watched the demo as well feel free to talk to be about your thoughts!! :))

#from now on i'm going to tag any official octopath 2 related discussions with #octopath traveler 2 spoilers #all incorrect quotes/miscellaneous stuff regarding them that i made up will not be tagged as spoilers #UNLESS it includes in game content e.g. character stories #anyways i'm so hyped for this game aaa #octopath traveler #octopath traveler 2 #octopath traveler ii #confusion rambles a bit #Youtube

Favorite time of year: Christmas. I remember last year it was just me and Merlin (my dog) one evening. I had all the lights off except for those on the Christmas tree and the other various decorative ones we put up. One of my favorite instrumental Christmas music compilations was playing sofly in the background. I was curled up in one of the big chairs in the living room, a cup of hot cocoa in my hand, and Merlin on my lap. It was truly one of those moments of utter and complete happiness. I tend to have lots of moments like that during the holidays, and it's something I hold onto and cherish.

Comfort food: There's this cold seafood salad sandwich from a local restaurant, and it's called The Crabby Shrimp. I've been eating it since I was a little girl, and it's probably my favorite sandwich in the world. It's simple and unbelievably delicious. I usually order the smoked fish spread to go with it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. My mouth is watering as I type all this. I'm hungry now lmao.

Do you collect something?: Oh yes! Comic books, Loungefly backpacks, different copies of the first Dune book (I hope to obtain a copy published in the 70s someday. I'm obsessed with the cover art from that decade), Disney trading pins, chopsticks, mini resin owl figurines, Ina Garten cookbooks, trading cards + candles + pins + menu cards from a bakery I'm obsessed with called Gideon's (they're based in Orlando and have the best cookies I've ever eaten and I LOOOOOVE their nitro cold brew iced coffees too), stuffed animals/plushies (I have a unique collection and will always add to it), figures/statues of my favorite fictional characters, fanart prints, vinyl records, Alex & Ani bracelets, and "The Art Of" books.

Favorite drink: A large McDonald's Coke. Truly the drink of the gods. Bad day? This will fix me. Inject it into my veins.

Favorite song: Truly one of the hardest questions anyone could ask me, tbh. I think I said a Def Leppard (my favorite band of all time) song last time, so I'll pick a different musical group this time. I don't know how many of you listen to the Bee Gees outside of their disco songs, but their stuff from the 90s and early 00s is AMAZING. I grew up listening to their albums from those years most above all their other music. Anyway, the song Embrace is on an album (This is Where I Came In) that came out in 2001, I believe. Hoo boy that is a really really good song. Probably my all time favorite from them.

Current favorite song: The Sound of Silence by Disturbed. My current go to when I'm not listening to my podcasts and can't figure out what music I'm the mood for.

Favorite book: The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray by Chris Wooding. My mom bought it for me for Christmas my freshman year of high school. It's the first book I can actively remember being absolutely frantic to finish reading. I reread it several times a year. The day that book gets made into an animated series or a live action show is the day I ascend.

Favorite fic: OOF WHAT A QUESTION. I truly can't pick, because I have too many favorites, but I'll name one from each of the ships I currently read fic for:

Jaime x Brienne: the battlefield between us (isn't here tonight) by @robotsdance

MSR: Out of Rain by suilven

Royai: Juniper by sixpences

Neo x Trinity: Collateral Damage by nanda (nandamai)

JonMartin: A Measure Outside the Lines by Rend_Herring

Tagging: @kittsunegari @houseoftrinity @exquisitecashmere @genderqueer-klinger @absolutebearings @karrashi @viksworth @kriscynical @ussfaramir @hamster-on-fire and anyone else who wants to play! 💙💙💙

Since I’m officially done with the main guides to Stray Kids, I   figured I’d do a couple fun guides, just for, well, fun. I’m done with   the dynamics, but I didn’t want to stop making these, lmao. So, I   thought it would be interesting to kind of explain the boys music, kind of like a summary of all the music they’ve put out. Not each song   individually, that may be too much. But maybe the albums/mini albums/   EPs, etc.

This post is going to skip around just a bit, it’s why I made sure to put the exact dates in the descriptions, as I wouldn’t be going in exact order. This post contains their 2 full length albums, Go Live and Noeasy, as well as their reissue In Life.

(Most of the info was taken from Wikipedia, or from my own listen of the album. I’ve gotten bits and pieces from other areas, but yea. If I got something wrong, or missed something important, please let me know!) 

Go Live (2020)

released in June 2020.

the group’s first official full length studio album

contains 14 songs: Go Live; God’s Menu; Easy; Pacemaker; Airplane; Another Day; Phobia; Blueprint; Ta; Haven; Top; Slump; Mixtape: Gone Days; and Mixtape: On Track.

has 5 official music videos, along with a special video.

ta doesn’t have an official music video, but it does have a dance practice, so i linked that. i highly recommend it, as they look like they’re having so much fun doing it.

top is interesting, as that song, along with slump, were made for an anime, and they were both recorded in korean, japanese, and english. the korean version of top doesn’t have an official music video, it has an unveil, however, it’s basically the whole song? so more of a performance video.

mixtape: on track is part of a trilogy, kind of. at least, from what i’ve seen from other stays. it starts with on track, goes into b me (the unveil, since there was never a music video for that one), and that goes into mixtape: oh.

the themes on this one are a little more all over the place, just because it is a full length album and there is variety here. there is also the first major incidence of them starting to push back on their haters and harsh critics (a major theme in Noeasy). they’ve touched on it before, but now, they’re being way more up front about it.

go live is just another starter song. it’s also just a shorter version of the tortoise and the hare, a song that appears in full in the reissue.

my personal favorite: definitely a tough one, this album has so many fantastic songs on it. overall favorite for me is probably ‘easy’. a song that i think stands out the most is probably ‘God’s Menu’. and a song that has the most emotional punch, again in my opinion, is ‘Another Day’. I actually cried the first time I heard it.

Wins - No music show wins, but they did win something call the ‘Main Award’ at the Seoul Music Awards

Peak position - 1 on the Circle Album Chart (previously the Goan Album Chart)

In Life (2020)

released in September of 2020.

is a reissue of Go Live, but minus a handful of songs and with 8 new ones.

includes the following songs from Go Live: God’s Menu; Easy; Pacemaker; Airplane; Another Day; Phobia; Blueprint; Ta; Haven

The new tracks are: The Tortoise and the Hare; Back Door; B Me; Any; Ex; We Go; Wow; and My Universe

has 3 new music videos, but there was an unveil for B Me.

the tortoise and the hare doesn’t have a music video, however, go live had an unveil track, and since thats just a shorter version of this one, i linked that.

the new songs includes a variety of themes again. this one also contains three unit tracks, each one sung by a different ‘racha.

my personal favorite: yet another difficult choice. all 8 new tracks are standouts in their own right. I genuinely don’t think I could pick a favorite. I will say out of the unit tracks; Wow is my personal favorite. But honestly, every single one of these songs is A+

Wins - 2 music shows wins for back door, one on Show Champion and one on M Countdown.

Peak position - 1 on the Circle Album Charts (Goan Album Charts)

*i’m a newer stay, i only became a fan this year. but based on what wikipedia is saying, and based on bits and pieces i’ve seen since becoming a fan, it seems like their go live/in life eras were when stray kids really started to get big. it’s not that they didn’t have a loyal fanbase before this, but i think this album and this reissue seemed to have brought in so many more fans, and i’m glad that it did. it’s led to them being with some of the top idols in the industry and they deserve it.

Noeasy (2021)

released on August 23rd, 2021.

includes the following songs: Cheese; Thunderous; Domino; Ssick; The View; Sorry I Love You; Silent Cry; Secret Secret; Star Lost; Red Lights; Surfin’; Gone Away; Wolfgang; and Mixtape: Oh

has 9 music videos. however, they performed wolfgang on kingdom. HOWEVER. i won’t be linking that performance, as there is no hyunjin. instead, i linked the other time they performed it, as 8 instead of 7. as wonderful as the original performance is (and i do recommend checking it out), this song and performance work so much better with all 8.

domino is another one that was given an unveil, but no music video, which a lot of fans hate, because the song and the unveil are so damn good. so i linked it.

mixtape: oh is a bit unique, as it was actually released in june of 2021, along with the music video. from what i can tell, it’s release was a bit of a surprise, coming right after kingdom ended, and featured hyunjin back with the group after his hiatus. stays have a great love and fondness for this one, because of the return of hyunjin and how much so many of them were happy to have him back. (in fact, the most replayed part in the video is hyunjin’s appearance)

once again, because it’s a full album, there’s a lot of themes at play, but the main one was clearly showing up their haters and harsh critics who call their music ‘noisy’, hence the title ‘Noeasy’ which is a play on the word noisy.

this one has 3 unit songs again, however the units are more random. red lights is by hyunjin and bang chan, surfin’ is by lee know, changbin, and felix, and gone away is by han, seungmin, and i.n. each one of these is very different from the other, they all give off completely different vibes.

my personal favorite from this album is another tough one, lmao. there’s so many good songs here. for overall look and feel and sound, i’ll go with thunderous, because it’s my favorite music video from them. also domino just hits so good. and the unit songs are stand outs for sure. each one has a different feel and mood and i highly recommend them.

This album was nominated for a few different awards, but the only win was for Best Album (Bonsang) at the Golden Disc Awards.

For music show awards, Thunderous took home 6 awards: 2 on Show Champion, 2 on M Countdown, 1 on Inkigayo, and 1 on Music Bank.

Peak postion - 1 on the Circle Album Charts (Goan Album Charts)

This popped up on twitter yesterday:

A leaked tracklist of Treasure's next album?

It's probably fake. The source is a person living in Japan who posted it on facebook. (Apparently they also leaked that Babymonster's debut song was going to be called 'Batter Up' months in advance and that turned out to be true...) But no one knows who it is + how they are associated with YG.

Someone could have just typed this up. 🤔Like sure, Baemon's actual tracklist was just scribbled on a piece of paper, leaked by a chinese businessman taking a selfie at YG but still

The titles of the songs make it seem like it would be a very powerful and dark album and Treasure has never released an album like that before. Don't get me wrong, it would be cool, but it's also not really their style? They have a lot of powerful party songs for title tracks but their bsides are more fun and vibey

+ We know some of these songs already and it seems unlikely yg would put that many known songs on one album. It's more likely a fanmade tracklist and they included songs that teume would recognize.

But I do want to indulge and give my thoughts pretending it's real 😅👍

Treasure is working on a new album and last year they did sign with Colombia Records for promotions in America... Au/Ra and Arcade Fire are two artists under Colombia records but it seems very random to feature them on the album. Because of that people think it might be an English album. I don't think that at all. No offense to the boys because they work very hard, but most of them can't speak English yet or still talk with an accent. It seems highly unlikely to me that there will be any English songs on the album.

I think they'll just finally start promoting in America by going on tour + It was leaked that Treasure might perform at a festival in Las Vegas in April (though the organization already released a statement that it is not the final line up and they just put placeholder names... I don't really believe it cause it said 'Treasure US debut!' on the site... You're not going to put it there if it's just a placeholder right?)

Analyzing the songs: The 2 asterisks' indicate 2 title tracks! So probably Apex as a pre-release and Ravage as the actual title track.

Maybe Rampage featering Au/Ra could be with the rapline? HyunHaYo doing the rapverses and Au/Ra singing the chorus?

Guy Like Me is a song by Junkyu so it would make sense for it to be made for T5, like their debut was. It's weird that it's not a pre release song though. T5 members have had schedules without the rest of treasure + some dyed their hair + they were hinting at it. It would just make sense that T5 would do the pre release...

More is probably refering to Jaehyuk's song. (the one he played when he filmed Lawoo). I would be over the moon if Jaehyuk got the chance to release his music, but from what we have heard of it already, it seems a bit out of place with the rest of the album (assuming they are going for powerful and dark vibes)

Fantasy by Asahi 🥺 I have prayed for this song to be on an album 🙏😩 Could we really have this after 4 years? It could be the perfect last song for an album 🧡

So I really don't think this is the actual tracklist of their new album :p but I am super excited for their next comeback 😍

This is my prediction for the timeline

End of April/beginning of May: T5 pre release

Beginning of June: Treasure album release + Tour announcement

I have never been able to predict YG's calender (because I swear to god that company doesn't understand how time works) so i'm probably wrong 😅 I'm just pretty sure they'll first let Baemon release their mini- album and do month long promotions so Treasure will at the earliest have their comeback at the end of April.

Let's all pray for a world tour announcement Teume 🙏 YG doesn't know that I would give them so much money 😩

[melodyreviews]

For todays "Tuesdays Reviews" and also my first review I choose 'FML' Seventeen's 10th mini album!

This mini album is definely one of my favorites from them because of how many details they put on this mini album, it feels so right, so cohesive, so genius.

Seventeen doesn't have any concept, I mean, they don't have a storyline and it's not a problem since they explore various concepts and references and this album really shows this.

F*ck My Life

This song oh my god it really hits my soul, the lyrics is so spectacular, so amazing and it hits me deep down. It's a song I truly relate and it gets me emotional but not in a crying way.

I like how Hoshi's voice is kinda soft in this music compared to others songs in this album, actually, in this song, all of their voices are kinda soft but still strong in a way.

It's a calming song full of emotion. It's ironic while listening to this song I can feel/sense anger but I also can feel and sense a pure void, a true nothing, the same you sense when you're lost in this world, it's like feeling something when you feel nothing at all. The MV shows this all, it shows chaos and them trying to find themselves/each other in the middle of it, it also shows a storm of emotions while being subtle about it.

The key point in this song for me is how you can listen "Fight For My Life" as "Fuck My Life" because of how the emphasize the "For" in a way that's similar to "Fuck". Truly a masterpiece.

2. Super

I will be honest, the first time I listened the song I was like "Oh... I just don't feel the Seventeen vibe for this one..." I really didn't like it at first but then I listened it again and I was like "Oh no THIS IS Seventeen", I really liked it listening again. The performance is powerful and the lyrics and the performance referencing Journey to the West and Dragon Ball (which is based on Journey to the West) is so so so good and genius.

Jeonghan rapping feels so nice and for me is such a new side from him that I wasn't expecting but it came out so good and fresh, everyone was good as always but Jeonghan really owned this for me alongside with Hoshi because Hoshi was just so powerful and energetic performing that left me flabbergasted.

I won't deny, I hated the jeans outfit but they were so endearing performing in sync with the dancers (that are referencing the shadow clones I presume) that I don't mind the jeans outfit anymore, it doesn't bother me because my attention is on how good they are.

It feels so good too to notice how Dino says "Son-Ogong" in korean meanwhile The8 says "Son-Ogong" in a way that you can almost hear "Sun Wukong" in chinese. I also noticed that the song although it's about Sun Wukong it's also about them, kinda referencing their journey in Kpop, it feels as if it's their own Journey to the West.

3. April Shower

This song is also calming but unlike F*ck my life it's a calming that just feels warm and refreshing, like when you're in summer and you get some fresh water in your face with a nice breeze.

When Dino sings "늦봄에 April shower 내리면 우산을 접어 빗속을 걸어" I just feel butterflies, really. This song shows how good their vocals are and shows us a brighter side of Seventeen in this album.

4. Dust (Vocal Team)

This song feels so romantic, I was wondering what thing this song reminded me and then I saw someone saying that sounds like a K-Drama OST and bingo, that's it, it reminds me a K-Drama OST. The music really feels romantic but not in a cheesy-couple way, you know? Even the lyrics is like a hopless romantic but still with hope? The lyrics is sad but the melody is cozy and vivid, like do I feel sad or do I feel nice and like dancing? It gives me mixed feelings in a good way.

5. Fire (Hip-Hop Team)

Being honest this song is my least favorite in the album, it's not that the song is bad it's just my personal preference, it's not my cup of tea. I can hear the funk beat at the beginning and for me it just feel strange listening funk when it's not in portuguese. Their verses are really good, it's just that the beat isn't for me and that's okay, it's a personal preference.

6. I Don't Understand But I Luv U (Performance Team)

This song is definely my favorite from this album, this song just feels so sexy but also feels so romantic, longing, beautiful and kinda sad in terms of melody and lyrics combined that I can feel my brain chemistry being rearranged, seriously.

Dino and Hoshi's voice range gets me every single time I hear this song and Jun's vocals being so vevelty-like as always has me ascending to heavens. The8 voice is also really good, sounding like honey and I'm being serious, every part of this song just matches so damn right that I feel like the time stops.

This song really feels like it's written for Carats while being about Carats and their relationship with Seventeen, specially International Carats, that part about loving someone even if you don't understand what this person says is just so on point about the idol-international fan relationship and the inconditional love that this bond has.

General thoughts

The mini album feels so nice, it's like they're telling their own story, talking about the hard times and the bad feelings they had but also talking about the good times and the bright feelings they had and their relationship as a team and also their bond with Carats, as I said earlier, it feels as if they're telling us their own journey, making their own Journey to the West, and to me that's the most brilliant thing about the album, mixing their history as a group with a well-known story that has various versions. Seventeen once again amazed me with this mini album, that for me is the best album/mini album from this year. I can't wait for their next comeback to see if they will amaze me even more.

[baekhyunnybyun]

oh ofc vocally there are others who carry nct. but i think a lot of them do get way more attention that taeil does. i think he's overshadowed a lot. because and this is just my personal opinion. kpop has become so much about looks now that it don't matter if you have no vocal talent (this is so many idols imo) ppl love you if ur pretty. and if you're outside the generic pretty standard they don't care about you. and i think for a lot of ppl taeil is outside that standard. couldn't be me. he's so handsome. but 100% his vocals deserve to be talked about. i have been praying for a solo album from him for years at this point. (tho i know they gonna fuck me over with that too) like he deserves so much and has gotten so little. it's crazy. idk man if he leaves the industry because they've made him feel unwelcome or not recognized his talent. i will be committing arson 🥰🥰

I definitely agree that most of the other vocal members get more attention than he does. And it really, really sucks. Kpop has for sure got this emphasis on who's the best looking or whatever and lost a lot of the other requirements for being a literal singer. Like the position of visual has existed forever. But now it feels like actual talent is so incredibly undervalued by kpop stans on a whole. Maybe it's the hag in me, but it doesn’t seem like, across the board, idols are able to carry a tune the same way 2nd or 3rd gen could.

And I have seen people say that taeil's lacking in the visual department, but I personally think they can't see clearly bc he's hot af. Just look at him. REALLY look. He's so fucking beautiful?? Idk how more people don't see that. He needed a solo album years ago. He deserves one now. And I'm mad that I'm over here just hoping and praying to every god that'll hear me that they give him at least one, singular song before he enlists (that's what I was referring to when I said he was going to leave for a year and half to two years) when he SHOULD have several minis by now.

➥ author’s note: Yeah I don’t think a lot of you guys saw this coming but aha… Here it is~ Feel free to scream at me in the comments or in my ask box c:

“Man, I don’t know if I should be here,” You mumble before taking a sip of the drink your best friend has already gotten you. Something sweet to start you off, they said.

Somehow through the music blasting through the speakers and the chatter of who knows how many people, your bestie hears you and gives you a look, “Lighten up. You’re not going to have a good time if you don’t even try.”

“What if I start crying with someone mid-dance? Then I’ll just embarrass myself even more,” You whine only to earn yourself a pinch on your bicep which makes you pout.

“Seriously, YN, I love you, but let’s have a good time, yeah? I promise tomorrow, we’ll go to that really cute cafe with the bunnies if you enjoy yourself tonight.”

You stay silent. The offer is tempting but… your chest still aches with loneliness and need. Maybe you should have stayed ho-

“ANDDDDD,” Your best friend continues making you look at them again curiously, “I’ll buy you a few of those limited edition Infinite albums you said you couldn’t spoil yourself with this semester because of tuition.”

You narrow your eyes at them because damn your best friend really did know you too well. That offer really was too good to pass. Getting some of those said albums would help you get closer to completing your Infinite album collection. Your best friend doesn’t even need you to say anything to know you have already fallen for their bait because their eyes are sparkling with mischief.

“Okay fine!” You give in and chug your drink down at an ungodly speed before getting up from your seat.

Your bestie looks at you with wide eyes, surprised, “I haven’t seen you chug a drink down like that since our first year here in uni…”

“Yeah well,” You wipe the corner of your lips with a napkin, “I need the liquid courage tonight.”

With a toothy grin on their face, your best friend wraps an arm around your waist, “Now that’s what I’m talking about!”

And off the two of you went into the mini sea of dancing people.

It's getting late, I'm making my way over to my favorite place

I gotta get my body moving, shake the stress away

· · ────── · ·

Please don't stop the music, music, music

How long has it been since you started dancing? An hour? Two hours? God you can’t even tell. You’re running on pure adrenaline and alcohol at this point to ignore those negative whispers in your head. But you’re smiling.

You’re smiling and laughing— you’re free.

“Hey,” You tap your best friend’s shoulder who was about to jump onto the dancefloor again, “Let’s get something to drink, yeah?” You’re pretty sure they hadn’t drank as much as you, but they were practically bouncing off the walls. How they had so much energy and still had some to spare for you you didn’t know. Bless your dear friend.

“Yeah!” They grin, bumping your shoulder playfully. “C’mon!”

They hold your hand and lead the way through people back to the bar. On the way there you take a peek and see that your previous table was taken by other patrons which is understandable since you left it unattended. Guess you had no choice but to stand by the bar unless someone was kind enough to give you their seat which wasn’t likely. A seat in a club like this was only given freely when you either knew each other or when someone was trying to score for the night.

The bartender here is quick and agile and she takes both of your orders as soon as you two walk up to the bar. Your best friend is chatting it up with the person to the right of them and you lean against the cool metal of the bar, closing your eyes and letting the music thrum through your ears. The loud bass makes your chest vibrate and your senses tingle. Or was that the alcohol? Whatever it was, you were feeling good, very good.

When you hear the bartender call out your drink, you open your eyes and reach for your drink only to see another hand also reaching for the same cup. Immediately you retract your hand and look to the side to see pretty violet eyes look, or more like glare at you.

“I’m sorry, is this one yours?” You ask because maybe you didn’t see him to the side in your tipsy state.

The guy is taller than you with long lilac and black hair styled in a mullet, though it oddly enough gives it a shape of… a jellyfish? He does a double take of the drink before his mouth forms into a small scoff. With that attitude you think he’s going to completely ignore you, but he doesn’t.

“Sorry,” He looks back somewhere else in the club, barely giving you the time of day until the bartender calls out for an american cocktail which seems to be his correct drink since he picks it up.

“Ah,” The smile on your face is small, “I can see how you confused that with my vodka spritzer,” You chuckle before taking a small sip, your hip resting against the bar.

This guy just keeps shocking you. He looked like he wasn’t very social, yet he’s the one that continues the conversation. He stands next to you, almost aloof but the way he presents himself shows he means business. “You don’t seem like a vodka type of girl.”

You blow a raspberry at this and roll your eyes, “Oh yeah? And what type of girl do I look like?”

“Something like wine coolers or some shit.”

You guess your facial expression must have been funny since he attempts to hide his smile behind his glass. You on the other hand are insulted. How dare he assume you couldn’t handle your alcohol?

“I’ll have you know that my girl right here,” Your bestie suddenly cuts in, resting their chin on your shoulder, “Is a champ when it comes to drinking. She’s actually in the top three out of our group of friends for alcohol tolerance. She just knows when to let loose or not~”

You raise your brow at your friend’s interjection, gently nudging their chin off your shoulder which was jabbing you. “That was back in the day though. I’ve calmed down since then.”

“And what a shame that is,” Bestie tsks playfully as they sip from their own glass, seemingly garnering the stranger’s attention.

“Yeah? How so?”

“Oh man,” The grin on your best friend’s face means they’re up to trouble and you’re not sure if you should let this interaction continue. “I have quite a few stories for you!”

Please don't stop the music, music, music

· · ────── · ·

Please don't stop the music, music, music

Again, time is irrelevant in this club. Ever since the little drink mishap at the bar, you had been talking to who you now know was named Rindou and your best friend in a private booth he had. Interestingly enough… the two seemed to hit it off even if it was at the cost of your own embarrassing stories at first. The sight made you smile because this was the first time you witnessed your best friend talk so freely to someone who clearly caught their eye. Maybe the liquid courage did them more good than you and that was totally okay. Seeing them so happy and having fun was more than enough for you.

Deciding you needed some air and to give the two some privacy, you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. Thanks to the private booth Rindou invited you into, there’s no long line to the private bathrooms so you make quick work. Washing your hands in the running water of the sink, you look up into the crystal clean mirror.

Your all black outfit still looks pristine. Your skin tight leather skirt accentuates your figure perfectly and the matching velvet like thigh high boots makes you feel like a bad bitch, like your bestie said. You’re wearing a long sleeve crop top that should make you feel overheated in the club atmosphere, but you’re not. In fact, you feel a bit chilly thanks to your ‘cooldown’.

The more you stare at yourself in the mirror, the louder the whispers in your head get.

You weren’t enough.

Look at you.

I hate you.

You’re boring.

You’re controlling.

He never loved you.

How can you even love yourself?

By the time you focus your vision back to the mirror, you notice your tear brimmed eyes and you hate yourself even more.

Your best friend brought you here to have a good time, to take a break from all the crying you’ve been doing yet here you are… about to cry in yet another bathroom for the day. First the library and now the club. How pathetic could you be?

Shaking your head dramatically, you take a deep breath and carefully use a paper towel to dab at the tears that gathered up in your eyes.

“No,” You let out one last sniffle before smoothing down your clothes. You weren’t going to let him ruin your night.

You were here to have fun and to score yourself some albums your fangirl side was in dire need of. You weren’t going to cry anymore tonight. You were going to have fun and you were going to learn to love yourself again one way or another.

Please don't stop the music, music, music

Ran was going to kill Rindou later. After the last ‘hurry’ message, he got up from his seat abruptly causing the girl on his lap to fall off. He didn’t even look back or amuse her with any words when she called him an asshole with fake tears in her eyes. Instead he makes his way to the private booth where his brother is and the first thing he sees is Rindou trying to comfort a stranger. That must be said best friend. He raises an amused brow at the sight. The best friend isn’t bad on the eyes, but that’s not what intrigues him. What intrigues him is the fact his little brother is actually trying to be nice and comfort someone in distress, albeit a little awkwardly. Huh… Interesting.

“Oh my god, the rest of our friends are going to kill me. I forced them to go out with me tonight and now I lost them and oh fuck- what if something happens to them??? It’s all on me,” The best friend covers their face with their hands, near tears.

“They couldn’t have gone too far…” Rindou tries to reassure them, but Ran jumps in with a grin.

“But there is some shady people out there so who knows~”

“Oh my god-”

“Ran shut the fuck up,” Rindou hisses at him and the culprit simply shrugs.

“I’m just telling the truth,” Ran hums as he walks closer to his brother. “So? What do they look like? Got a picture and a name so I’m not looking around like a dumbass?”

“You already are one…” Rindou mumbles, causing Ran to almost say he won’t help anymore if that attitude continues, but a phone is flashed up to his face before he even gets a chance.

“This is her. Her name is YN,” The friend practically whimpers, “Please help me find her.”

Ran takes the phone in his hands, “Huh…” Okay, he had more of a reason to help now. Rindou should’ve told him the missing friend was a beauty. “Got it. I’ll be on my way now~ I’ll text you if I find her.”

Rindou nods at him as he stands with the bestie, whispering in their ear that they would find YN as Ran steps back out to look at the busy club. Well, time to get to work.

· · ────── · ·

“What the fuck,” Ran curses as he walks to the bar again. He checked practically everywhere in this damn club but this girl seems to be unfindable. Did she really leave? If so, Rindou should be able to track her phone, right? With a wave of his hand, the bartender quickly serves him his usual and Ran is left standing there, sipping on his drink as he looks around again. Rindou and bestie were double checking the back rooms, again, and Ran was just about to give up. This was more work than he anticipated. He should be drunk or high right now, not sober and tired.

As he gulps down the rest of his drink, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, he spots her.

Unlike the picture he was shown where YN was grinning from ear to ear with her face cutely smooshed against bestie’s own, you look completely different now. Definitely not what he expected from the picture earlier.

You’re dancing with another girl, on top of a table out of all things, your body moving with the music, your (hair color) haired loose and free, swaying with each swing of your hips. Ran watches as the other girl almost trips off the table and you catch them, the both of you giggling before deciding to finally get off the table, the crowd around them still cheering for both of them.

Found them - He texts Rindou, not bothering to wait for a reply before walking to YN who seemed ready to walk off somewhere again.

Not giving them a chance though, he grabs your wrist to pull you close only to be left breathless soon after.

As soon as your hand was rudely grabbed, you went into defense mode, immediately snaking your hand free and counterattacking by pinning Ran’s own hand to his back. “Watch it,” Your happy and fun attitude is gone as you growl those words out.

“Fuck-” No, Ran wasn’t in pain, he’s dealt with worse, way worse. But he’s never had a girl do this to him, shit, not even a guy because everyone was too scared of his rep. “YN is it?” The grip on his wrist loosens. “Your best friend is worried sick looking for you. Ring a bell?” YN lets go of his wrist allowing Ran to turn around and properly face her and wow. That picture did not do YN justice at all.

Your face is flushed from the dancing, alcohol too, but you seem to be glowing. The furrow of your brow only makes Ran more interested in you, especially with the pout that forms out your cute red painted lips.

“Bestie…?” Your (eye color) eyes look up into Ran’s violet ones and oh- they’re even prettier than Rindou’s. You wonder if he and your best friend are still chatting.

“Hello????” Ran waves his hand in front of your face, dazed eyes blinking up at him. Cute. “You good?”

“Y-Yeah… uhm, you said my best friend is looking for me? How do you know that?”

“My brother called me for help because your bestie over there was about to have a panic attack.”

“Oh my god,” The earlier buzz you were feeling is washed over with worry and regret. When you check your phone, you see an onslaught of messages not only from your bestie, but the groupchat and the rest of your friends individually worried about you. “Oh shit… wow okay…” You quickly send out some I’m fine messages as well as I’ll go look for bestie now before putting your phone away to look at the man in front of you. “Uhm, do you know where-”

“YN! OH MY GOD!” You’re pretty sure you would have fallen to the ground with the aggressive hug your bestie just gave you, but luckily you braced yourself as you sheepishly smiled.

“Hey… sorry that I worried you,” You apologize, but your best friend shakes their head, their hands on your shoulders as they inspect you to make sure you’re okay. “You two looked like you were having fun so I thought it was best to leave you alone…”

“YN…” Again, your best friend shakes their head, “You could’ve at least told me. What were you doing?”

“She was dancing on top of a table,” Ran informs, causing both Rindou and your bestie to look incredulously at you.

“WHAT?!” Your best friend is fighting the smile off their face, you can tell, “You haven’t done that in so long!”

“Well…” You laugh, “I was letting loose. Before that, I was on the second floor dancing with some people I met.”

“Good!” Bestie laughs before turning to Ran, “Thank you for finding her… oh shit, I never got your name, I’m so sorry.”

“It’s irrelevant,” Rindou scoffs.

“Rude,” Ran huffs before extending his hand to your best friend, “Haitani Ran, the better and older brother.”

“Oh you’re Rindou’s brother! Should’ve known by the eyes,” Your bestie hums in amusement as they shake Ran’s hand.

Ran turns to you to introduce himself, but when you place your hand in his, he holds your hand gingerly, leaning down and placing an ever soft kiss on the top of your knuckles, “It’s nice to meet you doll~”

You don’t know if it’s the nickname he used on you or if it was the gentle kiss that causes your heart to skip a beat, but you can’t say you didn’t like it. “Nice to meet you too… I’m sure you know by now, but I’m LN YN.”

You failed to see the look of disgust Rindou had on his face when Ran kissed your hand, but your best friend was living for it.

“So…” You look over at your little group, “Let’s dance, yeah?”

· · ────── · ·

I wasn't looking for nobody when you looked my way

Possible candidate, yeah

How long had it been since you arrived at the club you’re not sure, but you do know that you were having fun. Between dancing and chatting it up with your two new friends, you didn’t want this night to end.

“C’mon! Dance with me!” You whine, tugging on your best friend’s arm who only laughs at you and your pouty face.

“I need a break YN,” They plop a seat next to Rindou, leaning into him who doesn’t mind the proximity, “Give me like ten minutes.”

“Boooo,” You huff, only to have your eyes covered from behind.

“Guess who~”

“Oh I don’t know. Not like only four of us are allowed in this private booth,” Your answer causes Ran to snicker as he lets you get your vision, “Need something?”

When you turn to face him, he has this devilishly handsome smile on his face and you almost hate it. “Dance with me?”

Though… who were you to say no?

Who knew, that you'd be up in here looking like you do

You're makin' staying over here impossible

Baby, I'm a say your aura is incredible

If you don't have to go, don't

Your connection with Ran grew and grew both mentally and physically, though it seemed more physical at the moment. His hands were on your waist, his breath fanning your neck, bodies molding together as one.

How long had it been since you’ve been held like this?

Too long.

How long had it been since you felt your heart fluttering in your chest like this?

Too long.

A part of you wants to feel bad, guilt even for how you’re feeling but you won’t allow it.

You’re allowed this. You deserved this.

Do you know what you started? I just came here to party

But now we're rockin' on the dance floor, actin' naughty

Your hands around my waist just let the music play

We're hand in hand, chest to chest, and now we're face to face

“Hey…” Ran whispers in your ear, making you shiver at his proximity. “Wanna get out of here?”

The hand on your waist trails down to your hip and it makes your skin tingle. “I don’t know…” You’re unsure. After all, you didn’t come here alone. But he distracts you from your thoughts with his free hand twirling a strand of your hair.

“If you’re worried about your best friend, they’re in good hands, I promise you,” He nods over to the booth where his brother and your best friend are to prove his point. Despite doing nothing but talking, the two are close, very close, and the smile on your bestie’s face shows you they’re enjoying themself. “So~?”

You bite your lip in anticipation before nodding, “I’ll text my bestie, but you let your brother know too, okay? I don’t want either of them worrying about where we are.”

“Anything you say YN,” Ran grins, message already sent before he takes your hand in his. “Ready?”

Quickly sending your bestie a message, you nod to Ran whose eyes seem to glimmer even more with excitement.

“Let’s go for a ride then doll~”

I wanna take you away

Let's escape into the music

DJ, let it play

I just can't refuse it

Like the way you do this

Keep on rockin' to it

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

· · ────── · ·

“R-Ran…” You huff, head tilted back as his mouth attacks your neck with searing kisses and bites.

“Hm~?” Not moving an inch from you, only caging you against the door of his penthouse even more.

“..’s hot-” Your hands grip at his shoulders, his body flush against yours makes your head spin.

Finally he pulls away to look you in the eye, but only for a fleeting moment before his eyes trail down to his handiwork on your neck. “I can help with that.”

You expect him to undress you right there and then, but he doesn’t. Instead he cups your face in his hands, leaning in to kiss you deeply, sucking the air right out of your lungs. The kiss is intoxicating, but you want more. More of this. More of him.

Just as his tongue teases yours with a flick, he pulls away, making you whimper at the last of contact. His handsome face dons a smirk, but before you can voice your complaint, you squeak in surprise when he picks you up, wrapping your legs around his waist as his large hands hold you securely on the bottom of your thighs. You’re looking down at him, cheeks ablaze as you huff for air.

Not even giving you a chance to question his moves, you find yourself giggling when he leans up to litter your face with kisses as he takes you to the closed confines of his bedroom.

Baby, are you ready 'cause it's gettin' cold

Don't you feel the passion ready to explode?

What goes on between us no one has to know

This is a private show

Everytime Ran removed a piece of your clothing, he kissed a part of you. Your boots? He held your legs gingerly as he kissed the inside of your thigh. Your shirt? He kissed down your neck and to your shoulder. Your skirt? He kissed the swell of your hips. Not even fully naked and he was already looking at you as if you were a full course meal.

“You’re beautiful…” He whispers loud enough for you to hear, your flustered face only amusing him even more. “I could eat you right up~”

The double meaning of his words makes you hide your face behind your hands. “Shut up…”

Ran’s laugh is deep and even teasing, but it only makes your heart skip another beat. “What…?” He smiles as he settles between your thighs, arms caging your head as he looks down at you. “Don’t tell me you haven’t been called beautiful before?” You gulp as his nose grazes against yours, looking at you right in the eye. The color violet suits him so well and even in the dimly lit room, you can see the different shades of purple in his iris’. You’re so lost in his eyes that you don’t even hear his next question. “YN?”

“S-Sorry… What did you say?”

Ran shakes his head, playfully clicking his tongue. “Not paying attention, hm?” He grabs your chin with one hand, pursing your lips and he licks his own lips. “I really hate repeating myself, but for you I’ll make an exception. So be a good girl and listen this time, okay?” You nod meekly, squirming under his touch but that only allows his hardening dick to rub against your core. At your low moan he grins in triumph before letting go of your face to press a proper kiss to your lips again. “I asked: Or are you flustered because you haven’t been eaten out before?”

“R-Ran!” Your hand pushes his face away only making him laugh before he teasingly nips at your fingers. “That’s not something you just ask!!”

“What? Why? It’s a genuine question,” He pouts for only a second before that damn grin is on his face again. “Or maybe I’m asking the wrong question…” Your curious look makes him continue. But this time he leans down to whisper into your ear. “Have you not been eaten out properly like you deserve…?”

“I-”

He nips on your ear before kissing down your neck again, a hand of his playing with the hem of your thong. “You don’t have to answer if you don’t want but…”

“But…?”

His kisses trail down to the swell of your chest, making you yelp when he takes a bite of not only your breast but a part of your matching lace bra as well. “I’m gonna treat you right tonight doll. Don’t you worry about a thing.” As if to reassure you, he kisses you again, slow and hot with your tongues mingling. But just as you’re about to fall deep into kiss yet again he pulls away, your mouth agape as you try to catch your breath. “Will you let me…?”

For a second you’re not sure. Was this really what you wanted?

Yes.

Your hand wraps around the back of Ran’s neck, tugging on his short black and light purple strands of hair. This time you pull him in for a kiss. It’s hot and needy— desperate. You’re practically begging for him now and Ran knows it.

This time he’s left breathless, but he refuses to let you take charge. Not tonight at least. Tonight it was about you. All you.

“Use your big girl words YN,” Sliding his hand under your bra, he gives your boob a light squeeze just to feel you wriggle underneath him again. “Tell me. Do you want me?”

“P-Please…” You look up at him, glossy eyes making him coo, “Yes, I want you Ran. Please- Please make me feel good.

And that was all he needed.

I wanna take you away

Let's escape into the music

DJ, let it play

I just can't refuse it

Like the way you do this

Keep on rockin' to it

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

“F-Fuck-” You moan as your back arches, Ran’s tongue deep inside you as his thumb skillfully circles your clit. “R-Ran, I’m- oh god,” Your eyes squeeze shut, your hips trying to move, but Ran’s other arm is pinning your hips down. Let me do the work, he said and living up to his word he was. You just wished you knew how weak you would be under his ministrations so you could have prepared yourself more.

Some people are cocky and then disappoint in bed, but Ran was not one of those people. He was cocky for a reason and boy were you experiencing it. He had you seeing white and only on his tongue and fingers.

You’re trying to warn him you’re about to cum, but you can barely form words. The most you can do is tug on his hair which only makes him groan into your cunt sending vibrations through your body. “R-Ra-ah fuck, w-wait-”

But he doesn’t. He pulls away from your messy cunt for merely seconds before his mouth is on your clit, sucking and licking with greed. Two long and slender fingers slide right inside your begging hole with ease as your hips buck up at the sudden intrusion. Ran doesn’t bother to hold you down anymore. He enjoys seeing you squirm and wriggle under his touch.

His eyes look up to see your expression and if it wasn’t for his busy mouth, he would tell you how pretty you were. Your eyes are squeezed shut, biting your bottom lip, cheeks adorned with a blush and yet he wants to see more.

So he waits. While his fingers continue to fuck in and out of you, his tongue works slow and teasing around your clit until you whimper. “R-Ran p-please, please,” You’re losing your high and you hate it. You’re so so close. Your eyes shoot open, looking down at the man between your thighs only to see his teasing eyes looking right up at you. “W-Wha-” But before you can finish the word, his mouth is back on your clit, fingers thrusting in and out of you faster- all while keeping eye contact with you.

That simple action has that heat pooling in your gut again and you are so fucking weak to it. The pleasure is almost overbearing, but when you close your eyes for even just a second, Ran removes his mouth from you again. It’s a silent order. Keep your eyes on me, he says. With a whimper you nod your head and you see that little smirk on his glistening lips, happy with your obedience. And just like that he gets back to work.

His mouth is relentless on you. That sinful tongue moves between joining his fingers in you to lapping at your clit and god-

There’s tears in your eyes, trying to keep your eyes on Ran but he’s making it practically impossible for you. All you can do is furrow your brows, moaning out in pleasure as he continues his attack.

But then you feel Ran curl his fingers inside you hitting your g-spot just right and your neck cranes back into the pillow, tugging on his hair as you curse out loud. But it’s not enough for Ran. The next thing you feel is his teeth nibbling into your clit and you lose it.

“R-Ran~!” Your vision goes white as your orgasm hits you like a slap to your face, your back arching so prettily and making Ran’s eyes focus between your bouncy chest and your fucked out face. Your mouth gasping for air, pulling on Ran’s hair for leverage only making him groan again into you. He refuses to remove his mouth until you have completely ridden your high.

Your moans and whimpers are so cute and music to Ran’s ears. For a moment he thinks about overstimulating you with just his mouth, but he has his own problem that is throbbing and begging for attention as well.

“Doll?” You hum as your chest rises up and down as you calm down. “You okay?” Despite his caring words, you can still hear that slight teasing in his tone. He knows how much of a mess he made out of you but like the cocky little shit he is, wants to hear it from your mouth anyway.

“Yeah…” You detangle your fingers from his hair, letting them lay limp on your stomach. “More than okay really…”

“Good. You’re so good for me YN,” Ran grins, placing soft kisses on your inner thighs before crawling on top of you again, kissing between your chest and up to your neck. It's not until he’s nibbling on your earlobe when he grinds against you, his throbbing cock sliding between your wet folds making you moan softly. Just then you realize he still hasn't come yet and your hand moves up to cup his face, making him look at you. “Hm?”

Looking him right in the eye, your voice is quiet but sure, “Fuck me Ran,” That handsome smirk grows on his face again, “Please…” You lean up and kiss him softly on the lips, his lips reciprocating seconds after, nibbling at your bottom lip before pulling away.

“Please what doll~?”

Even after everything that he’s done to you, the simple question makes your face heat up. You shy away for a moment only to flutter your lashes again at him. “Please fuck me Ran. Make me feel good again.”

“Fuck, you’re so cute…” Ran licks his lips before leaning down to capture your lips with his own again. You don’t mind at all that you’re tasting yourself in his mouth and that drives him crazy. Ran has never kissed one of flings this much, but fuck- he can’t help it. Ever since he saw a picture of you, you caught his attention.

And now that he had all of yours? He was going to bask in all of its glory.

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

“S-Shit-” Ran stutter as his hips piston into you like a man on a mission, “Doll if you keep squeezing me like that I won’t, fuck, I won’t last so long-”

You only reply with moans and gasps as you hold onto him tighter. Your thighs are pressed against your own torso, legs over his shoulders as he bends over you, fucking you into oblivion. His cock is long and has a girth that was much thicker than his two fingers fucking you earlier. Much thicker. Every thrust has you seeing stars, subconsciously making you squeeze around him driving him wild.

“YN-” Ran gasps, the coil in his stomach tightening with every squeeze of your walls. How the fuck did you feel so good? “Fuck, you’re so good for me- So pretty for me~”

Just what about you was driving him insane?

Whatever it was, he wanted more of it.

With one hand on your thigh, the other moves between your bodies and clasps around your neck.

For a second your eyes go wide, but you don’t tell him to stop. If anything your eyes are shimmering with excitement, mouth agape as he continues to thrust into you relentlessly.

“Shit, YN, you’re making me pussy drunk-” Ran groans, giving your neck an experimental squeeze making you tighten around him again. You can’t even keep your eyes open anymore, but Ran allows you this time.

He’s too busy chasing his own high to care right now. With another squeeze to your neck, you gasp, hips bucking up into him as you reach your second orgasm, your nails scratching down his bicep you previously had a grip on.

Your blissed out face is what does him in.

Your eyes roll back, eyebrows twitching as drool slides down from the corner of your mouth.

He groans deeply as he pushes his hips deep inside you one last time, spilling his hot cum into the rubber as he stills. His chest heaves for air as he thinks: What the fuck? Since when was he a pleasure dom? He got off to you getting off? What was going on with him?

“R-Ra-an-” You gasp out, his hand on your neck getting a little too tight for comfort.

Immediately he snaps out of it, eyes wide as he lets go of your neck, your chest heaving for air, “Shit,” He pulls away enough to let your legs relax, massaging your thighs to ease your probably aching muscles. “I’m sorry- Are you okay? I didn’t hurt you did I?” His face has concern all over it and it’s honestly adorable.

For someone who was trying to fuck your brains out like a mad man not even five minutes ago, he really was soft with you wasn’t he? You cover your eyes with your forearm as you catch your breath, a smile on your face. “I’m okay… You were a little out of it there, huh?” You tease.

This eases his worries, rolling his eyes, “Oh shush,” Of course he’s not going to admit that, at least not right now. You only giggle at his childish reply, making him smile. “Hold on…” He mumbles, pulling out of you with a bite to his lip as you whimper softly with oversensitivity. Tying up the condom and throwing it in a nearby trash bin, he moves to lay beside you.

He rests on his side to face you, bending his arm and propping his head on his hand to look at you. You look beautiful, even with the thin sheen of sweat covering your body. It makes you glow in the low light of the room and it makes his mouth dry. Just what the hell was it with you that was making not only his body, but his mind do things differently with you?

“Something on your mind?” Your voice reaches his ears and he just now notices that you lay facing him too, a cute worried pout on your lips.

Ran chuckles before he moves in and places a soft kiss on your forehead, “Yes actually.”

“What is it?”

“I think we deserve a nice hot bubble bath,” He grins like a Cheshire cat, “What do you think?”

Your warm smile only makes his heart skip a beat and he hates it, “That sounds lovely actually. Carry me there?”

Ran sits up, looking at you with an incredulous look, “Do you even have to ask?”

Please don't stop the, please don't stop the, please don't stop the music

· · ────── · ·

“Comfy?” Ran asks as he lays on his back, an arm wrapped around you as you snuggle into him.

“Very…” You whisper, relaxed and warm after the bath you both just took. That and the fresh blankets and sheets on the bed were undeniably soft and almost soothing. You were more than shocked when you got out of the bathroom to see his bed tidied up, but then again, he did live in a penthouse… so you presumed he called house cleaning to do that tedious task while you two relaxed. Now you laid in Ran’s king size bed in nothing but a shirt and boxers that belonged to him while your clothes got washed during the night. Ran was beside you in boxers only, rubbing small circles on the small of your back.

The warmth of the blankets and his body have you already dozing off, even while knowing you’ll really be feeling it tomorrow.

“YN?” Your eyes are closed, snuggled to his side as you reply with another hum. “Can I ask you something?”

“You just did, but sure…” Your quiet voice is playful and it earns you a gentle pinch to your side.

“Haha, very funny,” Ran huffs as he moves so you’re snuggling to his chest instead, “Why were you at the club tonight?”

Silence is all he gets.

He almost thinks you’re asleep, but when he looks down, he sees your furrowing brow as if to stop yourself from something.

Ah, so he was right. Despite you dancing on top of a table and wanting to dance the night away, there was something in your eyes that let him know there was something more. You didn’t exactly fit the title of wild and free, even if you did have some traits. He calls your name out again, but you still don’t reply.

He decides it’s best to drop it seeing as you didn’t seem to want to talk about it.

But just as he’s about to lean down to kiss your forehead, he sees silent tears rolling down your face and his blood runs cold. “S-Shit, I’m-”

“I’m a horrible person aren’t I Ran…?” Your voice is soft and frail and he hates it.

“What? What the hell are you talking about?”

He reaches to cup your face, but you’re sitting up instead, moving away from him on the bed as you refuse to look at him.

“Talk to me doll…” He sits up too, but doesn’t get closer, deciding to give you some space, “Something’s on your mind isn’t it? Tell me. I promise I won’t judge you.”

“...”

“YN.”

“Not even if I told you I used you as a distraction?”

Now that he didn’t expect. He’s left looking at you, blinking a couple times to process what he was asked. “... What?”

But you don’t reply again.

Your face is in your hands as your shoulders start to tremble, “I-I’m sorry…” You cry, hiding your face in shame. Just how stupid were you?

Ran has been nothing but a gentleman to you, even while fucking you brainless, yet here you were now crying in practically a stranger’s bed. All because what? Because you used him to try to forget about the pain ebbing away at your heart?

Stupid.

So so stupid.

Pathetic.

“Hey…” Gentle arms wrap around you, holding your head to his chest as he smooths down your hair with his hand, “I’m not upset. I’m really not. That’s what flings are anyway, right?” For some reason, he’s having trouble getting these words out. “A night of fun with a stranger right?” You still don’t answer. “YN… Come on… Don’t cry…”

Ran isn’t one to comfort crying people, especially crying women (he’s usually making them cry to be honest), but seeing you cry makes his chest ache. He doesn’t like it. Tears are much prettier on your blissed out face. Hell, your playful smile was ten times better. Not this. He doesn’t know why, but he wants to see you smile again. And if that meant making you talk and letting your sorrows out, then so be it. He would do that for you.

“I’m one of the most honest and open people you’ll meet YN. Just ask my brother or my best friends. Whatever it is, I’ll listen, okay? No matter the reason. I won’t judge you. How could I ever judge you, huh? I’m your friend now aren’t I?” For some reason, that friend word hurt to say.

You still don’t say anything, refusing to look at him as you keep crying into your hands.

So he moves your hands away from your face before cupping your face with a fondness that makes your tears flow more freely.

“YN…” He gives you a small smile, “Talk to me, yeah?”

“R-Ran…!” You sob as you wrap your arms around him, hiding your face in his chest as he does nothing but rub your back soothingly, simply listening carefully as the words seem to flow right out of your mouth.

Just how much pain were you hiding behind that happy and carefree attitude from earlier?

Please don't stop the music, music, music

Please don't stop the music, music, music

Please don't stop the music, music, music

Please don't stop the music, music, music

· · ────── · ·

“So…” Like promised, Ran listened to you vent about everything and anything you wanted for almost an hour. You were both sitting against his headboard, his arms wrapped around you securely as your body still slightly shook with cries, “What you’re telling me is that this guy’s a prick?”

“W-What-? No! Where did-”

He shuts you up with his index finger on your lips, “The way I see it, you did nothing wrong YN. Plus the asshole dumped you out of nowhere with no warning or explanation.”

“Actually he did-”

“That wasn’t an explanation YN. That was him being a dick and leaving you with your thoughts. I bet you half or all the shit he said were lies. Are you sure he wasn’t cheating on you?” Immediately he realizes his mistake as he winces, your eyes casting down, tears gathering in your eyes again. “Shit, no I didn't mean that. I’m sorry. It just slipped out…”

“It’s okay… Maybe… Maybe that’s what it was… He got tired of me and started going elsewhere… to someone else…”

“YN,” He cups your face to make you look at him, “If anyone ever cheated on you, they’d be stupid because they fucked over one of the best things they could have ever gotten. Whatever he did, is stupid, yes, but I don’t think he cheated on you. You would have seen more signs. Did you see any?”

“No… It’s like I said… we were happy…”

“Then let’s just say he didn’t, alright? Moving on,” He sighs as he lets go of your face making you pout. He almost kisses the pout of your lips. “So you want closure is all?”

Looking up at him, you nod, “Yeah… I just… I just want the real reason on… why. I know he’s hiding something from me, but I don’t know what…” You rest your head on his chest, tracing the lines of the intricate tattoos on Ran’s body. “I could sense he was hiding something but he- He just left before I could even fight back. He said… he also said some really hurtful words too and I just… just want to know if he means it. If he does, well…” Biting the corner of your lip, you blink back tears, “I’ll accept it. I’ll accept it and move on. I just want to talk to him one more time… That’s all I’m asking for.”

“You’re honestly way too good for him,” Ran scoffs, “Bastard will realize he fucked up and then come running back to you I bet.”

“R-Really?”

“Really.”

You’re still unsure so Ran speaks up again.

“If I can help you talk to him one more time, will you feel better?” You look at him with doe-like eyes and a shy nod. “Then I’ll help you.”

“Are you-”

And he kisses you again. Another super effective way to shut you up even if it’s a little selfish on his end, but he gets to see your cute blushing face. “I’m sure YN.”

You hide your embarrassed face in his chest only making him laugh. How is it that despite embarrassing yourself and being so pathetic you still find such good people? You surely didn’t deserve it.

What you did know is that Ran deserved a night where the girl he slept with didn’t end up crying over her ex instead.

“You’re getting into your head again doll…” He sighs, carding his fingers through your hair. “You know you can’t exactly hide it, y’know? You get this look in your eye and this adorable furrow in your brow.” Your muffled mumbles only make him chuckle. “What are you thinking about now?”

“I’m sorry for ruining your night…” Your voice is quiet, very apologetic. “I ruined this night for you didn’t I…?” Your hand clenched into a fist against your stomach. “It’s all I’ve been doing lately it seems.”

Ran only hums, cupping the back of your head and slowly makes you look him in the eye, “Did you regret sleeping with me?” You’re slow, but not hesitant as you shake your head no. The look in your eye is truthful, he can tell. “Then don’t feel bad, alright? I still thoroughly enjoyed myself.” You’re about to say something again but he cuts you off. “You didn’t see me as your ex, did you?”

“What? No,” You pout, “I’m not that bad. You-” Your cheeks are stained with red at your neck words, “You were really good Ran.”

“Enough to make you forget about that fucker while you were with me?” You nod again, “Then that’s good enough for me.” He grins, so carefree and aloof.

Just how was he able to be like after everything that you dumped on him? You really should take your friend’s advice about not letting everything get to you so easily, especially after having a genuinely good time with someone. It’s quiet as the two of you move to comfortably lay in the bed instead, nice and snug under the covers. Ran was nice and comfortable and though you hate to admit it… you dearly missed sleeping with someone next to you.

“So… I guess this mean I can’t replace your lover boy, huh?” At your pout, Ran laughs, “I’m just joking,” Is he really though? He’s not even really sure, “I may not be able to replace him, but so what? Let me at least ease your pain, alright doll? Not that you aren’t pretty even when you cry, but I prefer seeing that beautiful smile on your face.”

“You’re such a flirt…” You huff, snuggling into his chest closing your eyes.

“Yup, that’s me,” He laughs, seeing you hide your red face yet again. “Let’s go to sleep now. I’ll cook you breakfast tomorrow morning too. How does that sound?”

“That sounds lovely Ran.”

“Good,” He smiles, kissing your forehead one last time, “You can tell me more about that piece of shit tomorrow so I can roast him, deal?”

With a playful slap to his chest, you nod as you finally succumb to a nice night of sleep.

Need a Ride?

As the new social media intern on the McLaren F1 team, my days consisted of looking at post analytics, grabbing coffee for my boss, and scouring albums for the best pictures of the drivers.

It was the day before Monaco - the big one. Interns rotate when traveling to GP’s and luckily I snagged the Monaco slot. It’d always been my favorite race and to see it from the track was a dream. 

After qualifying, I waited at the back of the paddock and got down to some work. I sat on top a counter with my computer at my lap, clicking through pictures from the latest session and saving the best for social media. 

-- Sunday, after the race --

It was the most amazing day. Lando squeezed every last drop out of his McLaren and got P3. A podium in Monaco. I was in the office during the race and I peered down to the paddock to see the team celebrating as Lando rolled into the finishing area. Our own office celebrations commenced, but I kept looking down at Lando and seeing the joy on his face, even magnified by the TVs surrounding me. 

I could only enjoy the celebrations for a few moments before I returned to my intern duties. 

Before I knew it, the office lights dimmed and I turned around to see the night janitor waving goodbye. I looked at my watch: 10:48PM. Shit. My head fell into my hands and I sat there, realizing I had missed all the celebration the joys of an F1 race because I was a freaking workaholic.

Great.

I packed up my things and walked out towards the East entrance. I got my phone out and began to dial for a cab when I heard a voice behind me.

“Aren’t you an intern on the McLaren team? Hi, I’m Lando, nice to meet you.” He held out his hand but I hesitated. I had been working in the office for two months and I haven’t even gotten close to either of the drivers. After a moment, I greeted his hand with mine. 

“That’s me, y/n. Nice to meet you too.” I looked away, knowing red flares were making their way up my cheeks.

Lando was dressed in a sexy all black suit as if he were going to a party. 

“Congratulations on the race today. You were... amazing,” I exclaimed. HIs eyes shined in the moonlight as we stared at each other, lost in the moment. 

“Thank you, y/n. One of the best races of my life.”

“So... shouldn’t you be out celebrating?” God I should order a cab soon the service ends in just a few minutes.

He chuckled, “Well the festivities at the paddock ended a few hours ago and I’m headed out for the after party.” He looked at his watch. “Are you trying to order a cab? The service ends in like 12 minutes. I could give you a ride...” he looked down and up at me, “or I could take you to the after party.”

“What? No! I have so much work to do and I spent all my money on this mini vacation and-”

He took my hand and held it to his chest. “Shhh shh shh shh shh - just tonight, forget.”

“Forget...” I thought for a second. I was standing in front of one of the hottest, most amazing Formula 1 drivers in the planet and he was inviting me to a party. God, was I really that stupid. “Let’s do it.”

We hoped into his McLaren coupe and sped away quickly towards the party. Zooming through the streets of Monaco, I turned my head slightly to see him. God, he was so hot. In that drivers seat, in complete control, in his element. 

We arrived at the entrance of an extremely fancy hotel. Lando exited the car and came directly to my side, opening the door and holding out his hand to steady me. He tossed the keys to the valet, and without hesitation, firmly grasped my hand in his and led me towards the elevators and ushered me quickly inside the first one open, pressing the button for the top floor. 

After a few moments the elevator doors opened and an eruption of music and lights appeared.

The party was huge. People everywhere, so many celebrities, models in the sexiest and hottest clothes. And there I was, still in my jeans and button up from work. 

I leaned over to Lando’s ear and shouted, “I don’t think I’m dressed for this.”

He looked me up and down. “Darling, you are the hottest thing in here.” He took my hand and marched towards the dance floor.

Classic club music filled the room and Lando and I quickly got close to each other. I brought out my moves, turning so my back was facing him and angling my ass just so that it brushed his crotch. 

I took my throat and whispered in my ear, “You’re gonna have to stop if you don’t want this to go farther.”

I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. “I guess I won’t stop then.”

He immediately pulled me in for a steaming kiss, his tongue dancing around in my mouth. Our breaths synchronized and in the middle of a chaotic dance floor it was as if we were the only two people there. 

He grabbed my hair, pulling it black so he could gain access to my neck. Lando’s kisses left sweet marks along my neck and I quickly returned the favor, using my hips to gently rub against his sweet spot. 

After a few minutes of this, Lando couldn’t take it. “Follow me.” He took my hand and quickly took me to a back storage room. He locked the door behind him and went for it.

Engaging me in a full throttle kiss, his hands cupped my breasts. My hands reached up to caress his face, feeling every curve and dimple. Lando’s patience was waning. “Clothes off. Now.” He was so playful but all of a sudden, he became the sexiest man alive.

I immediately undressed but got stuck with the buttons of my shirt. Lando, without hesitation, ripped it open. The look on his eyes was primal. 

Still making out, I helped him take off his clothes and bent down towards his underwear. I slowly pulled them down and his giant, thick cock leaped out of his boxers. I gasped - he was the biggest I had ever seen. 

I lifted his dick towards his stomach and licked from the base all the way to the top, sucking on the tip and humming. I could head Lando moan, “y/n, god yes.”

I worked my way down his cock, stretching my mouth out. He became gently pushed my head all the way to his stomach, leading to a small gag. He pulled me out letting me suck his finger before he picked me up and held me against the wall.

Lando lifted my right leg, holding it in the nook of his arm, giving him easy access to my slit. He dragged his wet finger through my juices, ultimately ending up at my clit. God, the man was good with his fingers. He knew exactly where to push and when to let me breathe and after a few minutes I reached a body-shaking orgasm. 

Without hesitation, he turned me over so I faced the wall. “Good girl, you like that? You like cumming for me?” he whispered seductively.

“Mmmhmm” I moaned.

He slapped my ass, hard. “Use your words, darling.”

I looked back towards him, giving him my most doey eyed expression. “I fucking love cumming for you, please please make me cum again.”

Lando smiled and slipped his cock into my tight hole. I squirmed, getting used to his size, and he paused to let me adjust. “Are you alright?” he asked. His concern for me was so fucking sexy.

I was honest. “Yea, you’re just so big.” 

And with that, his speed increased. Gently but quickly stroking his veiny cock into me, I could feel my insides shape to perfectly conform to his cock. A harsh, gutteral moan slipped from my mouth, Lando returning with a low grunt. 

He slowed down, carressing my insides with his fat cock. “Ugh,” I moaned, reaching back and digging my fingers in his thighs. “Please, Lando, fuck me harder.”

Lando paused, which triggered a squirm out of you as you wanted more of him. “Say that again.”

“Lando, please, fuck me, hard.”

He picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist, and slowly edged me down his cock once more. Lando reached my g spot perfectly as he began to bounce me up and down his large member. 

Messy moans and grunts mixed in with me tugging at his curly locks and him nibbling at the buds of my perky nipples filled the room. 

After a few minutes, I could feel myself reaching my climax. “I’m gonna cum,” I moaned, pressing my forehead to his. He leaned in, connecting our mouths and slipping his quick tongue in.

His speed increased like a demon, his F1 athleticism on full display. I was almost bursting when Lando whispered in my ear, “Cum for me darling.” And with that, I was gone. My insides squeezed around his cock, triggering his own release. Our heads on each other’s shoulders, we stayed there for a bit, him in me, our sweaty bodies carressing one another. “So, again next time next week?” he joked.

I giggled, the vibrations causing me just the slightest bit of ecstasy. “I’ll be there.”
