#but all other 17 types are still available
Text
It's been a lot of work over a lot of time but I think I can finally share this...
PMD:EoS, but with all of the starters!
Tumblr media
...Including Grookey, finally!!!!! 🥳
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Introducing PMD: Expanded Sky!
This is a public mod available to download now! It adds in all starters from unova all the way to paldea, as well as zorua, axew and rockruff, and allows evolving eevee into sylveon.
Speaking of which, fairy type has been patched into the game! Disarming voice replaces milk drink and moonblast replaces judgement, which was unused.
Some non-traditional starters are no longer available as hero options in this due to lack of space, but are still available as partners. (Skitty can be chosen as a hero in version 1.0.0 only, so download that version instead of the latest if you wanna use her! Riolu and Shinx are available in version 1.2.1 and below)
If one of your faves was taken off the hero roster (eg vulpix, skitty, riolu, munchlax, etc), I have a tutorial here on how to quickly edit the patched file to put them back in :)
Several regional variants have been added! Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak and Hisuian Typhlosion are now available as potential evolutions for their respective base stages.
Tumblr media
Partners across both rescue team and all three versions of explorers are available too, including Cubone, Munchlax, Machop, Vulpix, Riolu, etc
Sprites and portraits are courtesy of the brilliant PMD Sprite Repository and the many incredible artists who contribute to it!
Credits for all improvement patches, sprites and portraits are included in the download, as well as an explanation on how to patch the game and the full starter list.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The mod is split in two versions to accommodate all the partners - MIDDAY version and MIDNIGHT version. The download includes both, as well as the tool required to patch your game! You'll need a clean US copy of pmd eos at hand.
Tumblr media
A full list of moves learned by newly added Pokémon can be found here, as well as info on how to evolve them and their IQ groups.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you run into any issues, feel free to drop me an ask or DM and I'll see how I can help/what I need to fix!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can find the download for this rom hack here!
Edits/updates noted under the cut:
(27/04/23)
The overall mod now has a name - expanded sky! Reflected earlier on in the post.
I've been informed that the included patching tool (XDelta) doesn't work on mac, and after some digging around and discussions in dms we found this tool works for Mac instead.
Added graphics to the post displaying which heroes and partners are part of the hack.
(11/05/23)
Added link to learnset compilation for all new pokémon.
(17/05/23) Version 1.1.0 has been released!
Sobble is now a starter, replacing Skitty (Skitty is still accessible by downloading v1.0.0 on the download page). Sobble is also now a partner in MIDNIGHT.
Zorua/Zoroark's moveset has been tweaked slightly
Base forms of all new starters can now be found in Oran Forest, and can be recruitable in the post-game. The new fire starters can also be found in Giant Volcano.
Extra portraits and sprites were added for Cubone, Psyduck and Machop. Like the rest of the new assets in this mod, these were imported from the PMD Sprite Repository, and credits are on the title screen and in the readme.txt.
Extra credits + more in-depth instructions for patching the game included in the readme.txt.
(18/05/23)
Added a link to a tutorial on swapping out heroes for others already existing in the game.
(22/05/23) - Version 1.1.1 has been released!
Fixed genders for female starter options on the quiz. Updated Fuecoco to use new portraits and sprites. (Credits to Garbage)
(23/05/23) - Version 1.1.2 has been released!
Female starters from gens 5-9 can now evolve correctly (save for starters who don't have evolutions in the game yet - these are listed in the text file in the download)
Rockruff can now evolve, and Midnight Lycanroc's evolution method has been fixed to use the Lunar Ribbon as intended.
(15/06/23) - Version 1.2.1 has been released!
In 1.2.0, a second version of the mod was included in the zip compatible with melon emulator, and potentially others that were having issues with saving.
Fairy gummis were also made available as mission rewards and shop items.
There's a couple more things that can be seen in the changelog including bugfixes, but the main other thing promised was that Froakie and Litten can now evolve directly into Greninja and Incineroar. Due to an evolution flag not being set this ended up untrue, but has been fixed in 1.2.1.
This post claimed dazzling gleam is in the game, but it should've said disarming voice.
🆕 (10/03/24) - Version 1.3.0 has been released!
Dusk Lycanroc, Drizzile, Inteleon, Grookey, Axew and Fraxure have been added, as well as Alolan Raichu, Alolan Marowak an Hisuian Typhlosion.
Axew replaces Shinx in the hero roster, and Grookey replaces Riolu. Additional portraits and sprites added for starter evolutions, including vanilla starters. Sleep animations have been copied over to EventSleep/Laying/Wake animations if missing.
Greninja erroneously had the same moveset as Froakie. This has now been fixed.
Credits are no longer displayed on the title screen.
Sprite, portrait and patch credits can now be viewed by talking to a Cyndaquil NPC on the crossroads.
Evolution help can also be accessed by talking to this same NPC.

Tumblr media
You didn’t know when it happened. It was as if there was summer spreading all over your neighborhood even before you could register. The breeze felt somewhat cold on your skin,still.
A gust of warm wind greets your face when you open the windows. How did it get so windy?But the sun shines bright and you can get an active sunburn in under 5 minutes or less?This summer break was about to be so unpredictable.
You look out to the mailbox,out of boredom.There was nothing to do here all summer. Your parents are not gonna fly this time. Nor are your cousins,
You traced your fingers above your arms,rubbing them up and down,while you stared outside watching random passers by. 
Over time,the subtle changes on your body from when you were a freshman at college,tended to proclaim more curves on your body,and bust. Not that anyone noticed it much,considering that you were reserved and not outgoing,it was very very evident in the way you carried yourself.
Even in this hot yet cold weather,you tried considering moving in with your parents again.Your friend could bear you for a few days,you know she would,so why don’t you go?and the best part was you don’t have to pay for the fare. If it were possible,there was a chance,by the inconsequential,to meet him.
You didn’t know much about him,nor did he,about you. But you remember,once going to your parents,you have made tons of memories there,and in those,he was there by a quarter of it,but still was there.
He used to be a local gym instructor back when you saw him last time. He was around the ripe age of 22. Pretty young for you back then who was around 17. But the age gap seemed to have died down when you both met each other through a course your mom booked for you,thinking you just needed an even better way of relieving stress,to which she reasoned as working out.
You still remember the way his biceps flexed,as he was just demonstrating you,guiding you,and helping you familiarize yourself with the equipment he owned. It was his gym after all. Bowing your head constantly when you realized you had mistaken him for another nice gym commoner,his eyes peaked over at your cleavage shamelessly. And of course,you had no idea of it.
Out of professionalism,sunghoon never showcased any type of interactions with the others,not even you. When time came for your personal supervision,you were only thriving in your thoughts of actually impressing him,but to no avail,you fell flat on your butt,the sudden thud silencing the whole gym.
Only after sunghoon coughed to catch everyone’s attention,they went back to doing their sets of workout. Sunghoon stretched his arm out and you gladly accepted the leverage and got up. 
Your eyes failed to let go of the way he worked and crushed his arms,effortlessly lifting the weights up,you regretted agreeing to work out,and now park sunghoon was one of your type-matching people. You couldn’t agree on the term summer fling anymore. Park sung hoon changing your taste in men and making him the top of your list was a very quick process.
You used to spit back at him when he got too cocky with his comments,it never had seemed to have an end. After all,at the end of the day,sunghoon loved to tease you.
Telling you that you were wrong in every single exercise and that your form had needed a lot more work. He wasn’t wrong. He chuckled when he saw you struggling with a basic squat. You tried to make sure you were seated in the air as per his instructions. 
“What do you think you’re doing?” sunghoon snorts when he hears you say,laying his palm flat against your waist,now squatted down with you,from behind. He pushes your hip a tad bit down,earning a painful groan from you. “Fuck stop-that’s enough–not more down”
“Helping you, what else?” His reply takes you off guard when you realize you were not fully wrong. You don’t get the chance to revoke his words when he suddenly gets up. “And, didn't think you were not the type that sweats their stress off like this. My bad”
You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. You so badly wanted to punch the shit-eating grin off his face,but you just dropped the weights which you were holding and stood face to face across him. 
His tall and broad frame literally towered over you,looking down with no emotions. “I don’t know why but you make me regret joining here” 
“Oh I do?” he exhales a  fake gasp and clutches onto his left side of the chest,the material of his white t-shirt crumpling,his face resorting to an even faker sad expression. “That hurts so much to hear,love”
“S-shut up,don’t call me that” the nickname had your mind reeling all of a sudden,it wasn’t supposed to though. You loathed the person more than the overly cringed name he just uttered,currently. And him smiling at your reaction didn’t make you feel any better.
“Does it make it easier to mess with your heart?” He takes a step closer to you and softly nips at your chin,making you hiss.”you’re gonna have to put up with me,especially with that 3 month long shit you signed up for,y’know?” you had enough.
“I’m lucky though,you know?my college starts very soon” now it was your turn and your lips crack a smile when you see how dumbfounded he got at the implications of you going away.
And ever since you dropped the bomb,Park Sunghoon never lingered near you. You never asked why. Once in a blue moon,making eye contact with him would go very bothering and the tension between you two was worse than before. So you never went for that as well.
You never asked why he stopped with his snarky comments,and only focusing on training you and leaving the moment it was time,never asked why had he stopped your private sessions with him,never asked him why he abruptly stopped coming to the gym altogether
The sudden disappearance of him baffled you. You hated sunghoon for it but at the same time,you wished he would be there if you showed up unexpectedly at the gym. Maybe knowing you didn’t go,he would try getting back there. You asked for his number from the front desk but to no avail,you couldn’t milk the details out of the employees there.
But when it was your last day of summer vacation in your hometown,you tried one last time to bid farewell even if you both were fairly on good terms. He didn’t even try to get in contact with you,nor appreciate your presence when you entered the gym with a memory for him to keep after you’re gone. 
Before you could give him your number,he waved you off from afar,telling an employee to escort you out and that he was tired. That was a dick move honestly. Your last resort was to just be friends and drop the enemy act for once. You tried reasoning and went there. And he sends you back with a heartache.
Left with tears,shame and regret for trying to build a connection with him in any way,you swore to yourself that you would get over him. Just a silly crush anyway. You wished that your words would be stronger as time flew by. You were ready to find a distraction not only from him,but also for the best.
Tumblr media
Fumbling through the drawers,you could see a tinge of yellow material peeking out. Assuming  it was the strap of a sundress,which was absolutely not it the moment you plucked the clothing out,you were met with a pair of yellow two-piece. 
Huh.This works.You thought as you examined the cloth,making sure there are no wrinkles. 
When you checked everything you needed,you realized that you wouldn’t know who else would be there. And that thought started questioning your choice of clothes. 
Nah it’s not too much,it’s gonna be okay,i can even lend you my robe y/n. You recalled your friend saying that when you sent her the pic of what you were gonna wear,earning a rawr from her side. It looks hot on you babe,the guys would love it. She said as well.
She deemed you as her plus one so that you don’t feel lonely this summer weekend. It shouldn’t be that bad anyways.
The local resort had always been a place for celebrating any occasion. Whether it be a normal birthday or even a pool party. And in your favor,it was the latter.
Upon reaching the resort which was not so far from your house,she greeted you with a warm hug,eyes dotting at your outfit afterwards.
“You can use my room to change” you notice how she styled herself,your mind making a mental note so that you can get a thing or two. “You’re looking pretty by the way” you make sure to let her know,earning a smile from her.
You took your time exploring the house before going upstairs,it hasn’t changed one bit. Except for the fact that they added a pool this time. Before you left,the resort only had a normal setting. There was no shine to the old, almost rotting wood at the exterior, but it was easy money. No wonder people hogged for a room back then.
And when your eyes scanned the open area around the pool,you saw a familiar architecture from a distance. You sighed as you broke your glance before you could let your thoughts proceed further. You knew that the gym was built close to the resort. But it was not something you needed to notice now. Why hasn’t it stopped anyways.
Walking upstairs,you found a pair of girls talking. Must be her friends. They looked quite young for a pool party. When you passed by them you heard a foreign name,it sounded familiar and you were sure you weren’t very fond of the name as well.
Shrugging any thoughts off,you proceed to change out of your travel clothes.
Your friend mentioned earlier that she would have some guests over that you might have known from your last visit,four years ago. You didn’t mind socializing,nor getting to know her part of the group.
And fortunately,your distracted eyes forget to notice that a particular someone was already gawking at your semi exposed figure. It was truly amazing how Sunghoon couldn’t get over anything about you ever since you left.
From his point of view,he took it as a break. Not knowing that this said break would be the reason he distanced himself away from you. He needed to calm down whatever he started to feel towards you,attraction.
He has been attracted to you since day one. Ever since you explained that you had dreams outside working out as a profession and mentioned that this was the bestest hobby you could ever possess. He had his chance back then as well.
His mind was bold enough to befriend you,but he never once tried to shake hands nor congratulate you whenever you did well. To him,he would feel a shiver run down his spine whenever your skin came evidently too close to his,denying any sense of distance between the two of you,he liked it.
And now that he saw you walking by in front of him,taking delicate steps to his cousin’s room,he got a clear view of something he couldn’t forget about over the span of 1400 days.
He used to feel equally bad for staring down at your bent figure,and you were just innocently doing what he told you to. He used to shrug his mind off of you. By watching you through his security cams all over the gym. He still remembers staying back when everyone else had left the premises,he told them that he would lock the place up before going but he stayed.
Stayed back only to untie the strings of his sweats loose and take his dick out.it was painfully hard,his eyes darted at the screen,slowly taking in the way you crouched down with your legs spread out and your hips pushed up and down as he himself counts it for you.
Sweat starts trickling down his forehead to the chin,as he takes his pleasurable time to fuck into his fist,thrusting up hard whenever he sees you sitting down. His breaths fell short as he felt his high near,cumming right after moaning your name in delight. Cum stains his hand and  his thighs as he recollects himself. 
He sighed at the distant memory,not wanting to relive it again anytime soon. Not at least with you around. And the fact that he recognized you even before you did,didn’t even bat an eye at his direction..
“This is going to be a long day”
Tumblr media
“No fucking way sunghoon?!” your friend screeches a bit too loud for sunghoon to cup her mouth quickly as a reflex. 
“Shut the fuck up will you!” sunghoon whispers as he slowly sets his hands down to his lap. “Don’t tell her that i’m here” he sighs with his eyes shutting down momentarily before looking away to the pool.
“Yeah as if that’s cutting the fact that you jerked off to her! That too from some CCTV footage?!you creep-” he didn’t know why he told her the later part of the information,but she was smart enough to connect two and two together and slipped it out of him.
He groaned and hid his face in his palms. “Enough” his voice gets lower as he sits straight and tells her to fuck off.
She just scoffs and threatens him with a ‘just wait till she sees you’ and that was enough for him to push her by the arm and make her promise to not let him out infront you..
“Hey, i was wondering where you kept the–what the fuck are you doing here” and at that very moment,Sunghoon felt his blood run cold when he hears that same voice he wished he never heard back again from. His eyes look over to your friend and they both exchange glances. Speaking of the devil literally…
Your own thinking froze when you saw the literal Park sunghoon sitting in front of you,both him and your friend not talking as they gulped. Yet your eyes never left the man beside your friend,who seemingly just happens to stare right back at you with an unreadable expression. 
Sunghoon felt a sudden pang from the inside,the intensity of harshness when you spoke,having an effect on him already.
“y/n what were you looking for?let’s go and find it” she believes that her words would be enough to break the tension that has been growing thicker ever since your eyes set on him.
You squint your eyes before muttering,”nothing anymore,i lost interest” your mood evaporated the moment he spoke,suddenly your mood felt sour and you felt like you could just ignore everyone and pass out. Park Sunghoon breathing the same air as you,was enough to make you both cry to sleep and be mad about crying over him as well.
That same overwhelming feeling came back up to your chest when you felt his presence amongst the crowd in the residence. Not looking back once,you dashed upstairs,excusing yourself to just nap for a bit.
Sunghoon, on the other hand,cursed at himself. Not being able to keep a straight mind when he saw you talking with absolutely nothing else but venom in your voice,finding it very hot against his mind.
Yet,the way you placed your hands on your waist while speaking to him,the adorable little emotion in you failing to hold itself back,he became a fan of.
Wondering how it would feel to have your hands and fingertips trace down his face and defined v-line,the thought alone allows a contraction on his stomach.
It was downright disgusting how he was so devoted to checking you out in absolute silence,with no one to catch his doing so. If his cousin knows of this again,she would definitely try and urge you with her words to get you to talk to him,and that’s not something that he wanted at the moment.
His eyes zoomed into your back,staring at your roundness with lust-hazed eyes,imagining all the things he wished he had the time to do when you were literally pressed up against him. His dark fantasies slowly progress further,lips curving into a smirk when he spots you closing the door.
The little devil on his shoulder screaming at him to run up and break that door open,finally taking you in every possible way he sexually needed to. 
“I’ve got to admit,your friend has gotten cuter since i last saw her” taking a sip of his virgin mojito,he directs the sentence towards his cousin,who was just sitting there with hurting feet,the heels did absolutely no justice today.
He could have promised himself a thousand times to not walk up to you and start yapping,but he could never stop his mind from drifting away to another zone of thoughts,all very nasty. 
Feeling your skin burn under his touches,your short gasps for air when he squeezes your asscheeks,and imagining it made it worse for his case.
“Who you talkin’ bout? y/n?” she asks back,to which he silently nods. And by now,if she dared to look down by any chance,she would yell at him to get a cold shower. It’s hella weird how someone gets hard while only talking about a girl. 
“And i am telling you to not do anything funny,even if you know her,and can’t keep your dick straight” her silent judgment passes through his ears like she had actually caught on to what he was going to think on. 
The words recoiled around his head like a chant. ‘Don’t do anything funny’ and before he knew it,he already started to feel a sudden change in the temperature,looking down only to find a semi-tall tent forming on his trunks. Fuck….he got aroused at the thought of it.
“What the fuck are you on?me?with her?” the more he denied,the more she kept smiling back at him,finally knowing what his deal was. She waves a hand in defeat at his face and excuses herself for a swim. 
“I’m gonna be back..” it was now sunghoon’s turn to excuse himself to the washroom.
Entering the living room,he saw how people were just passed out on the sofa,some even left but the atmosphere still was lively.
Quickly pacing to grab the handle of the door,he pulls it open and haphazardly discards his pants with one hand while the other presses the lock. 
By now,sunghoon only needed to get a relief,his release being more important than anything else right now,he could think later about getting turned on by you,or that’s what he thought.
He has no time to spare as he takes his meaty length on his palm,feeling the sudden chill of the skin,he hissed and shut his eyes close.
“Fuck–fuck y/n” he didn’t know why he moaned your name in particular. However,the thoughts of how you would’ve reacted if you caught him staring at your ass like a pervert,it made him start stroking his hand around his cock.
The mere fist hole to which he now fucks into,could never be compared to how tight the actual hole,your hole is.
Unfortunately,he never got to put that to attest. you were long gone before he could even lay a single assuring touch on you,or even get comfortable with you.
But he tried making use of it like a fleshlight,jamming it up and down like a madman.
Pressing his thumb on the tip,he smears the leaking precum around his cock.A string of lewd moans and whines,hips bucking up uncontrollably while his moans contain your name,he cums hard. “I’m c-cumming b-baby–fuck!”
Harder than he had ever thought he would. As he comes down to reality,he feels the beads of sweat on his forehead,lips sighing and having a satisfactory smile as he watches his cock drench on his hand.
Grabbing a tissue,he wipes his mess lacily but all clean. And puts his trunks back on. Having hopes that no one caught him in the act. He started to wonder how long he had been off for anyone to notice. No one's gonna be up around here anyways,that too at this hour.
“What are you doing here” sunghoon almost flinches at the sudden intrusion in the silence that had been on for hours now. Trailing his head above his shoulders,the side of his eye catches a glimpse of your body clad in a camisole.
If it had not been for the flickering fairy lights down the hallway,he could never pinpoint how your eyes sparkled as you took steps down,and he was just right near the sliding door which parts the living room and the pool. The lighting did no justice to hide your pretty features and that caught sunghoon’s eye.
He took a deep breath before answering,”what do you mean what i am doing here, what are you doing here?” he hides a smile when he sees your hands on your hips.
“It’s my friend’s birthday” you say, monotone,having no further wishes to keep this communication alive,because to you this seemed pointless,what was even there to talk about,and even if you did,it would escalate,but escalate to what point when you both never talked in a comfortable setting?
“And it’s my cousin’s birthday” “what?” you are even more confused now. What does he mean cousin? Her and him were related?Was that why they were all giggly and cuddly earlier?Wait, what were you thinking? Before your chain of thoughts could escalate,you both hear a small thud.
“Oh- don’t mind me guys,i’m just-*hiccup* heading to bed” your friend slurs as she sloppily succeeds in taking the first step up to the rooms. And she shakes her head no when sunghoon and you offer help,which earns a scoff from him.
Nonetheless, after she closes the door to her room shut,sunghoon’s gaze now diverts to you. Gulping slightly when he basks in your attire now that you’re clearly visible. Sunghoon was never the type to get severely drunk. He could make out locations and aid himself as well.
The flow of the conversation falls short when you decide to not speak another word,the silence growing more awkward than ever.
“So…are you going to move in here again?” with many words he gathered,he tries to make it less tense. Funny how he asks about it like nothing happened. Like he never shoo-ed you away when you tried to talk to him.Watching your expression change into an even more bland reaction,he just seals his lips. 
“Why does it concern you” you didn’t mean for your words to come out so harshly. And you felt like Sunghoon understood what you meant so he fair-mindedly spoke..
“It felt nice to see you again” his genuine words take you by surprise. Never have you ever felt this warm fuzz surrounding your heart. The sudden warmness makes you smile in gratitude.
“Does it?” you stand there,playing with the hem of your camisole which lays on your mid thigh. Sunghoon was never the type to lose his shit while drinking. Which explains his high alcohol tolerance unlike his cousin.
But he was not at all sober for the way you make a small effort to push the lacy cardigan off your shoulders,letting it fall down to the floor. You shyly cross your arms above your stomach when you realize you’re almost naked in front of a man.
However,your consciousness gets thrown out of the window when you see Park sunghoon smiling and walking towards the pool.
“Wanna take a dive?”
"sure..."
Tumblr media
Slowly dipping your lower half into the lukewarm water,a tiny shiver ran down your spine,as you watched sunghoon getting into the pool as well.
You don’t know why you agreed the moment he offered,not even thinking twice about the consequences you’d be putting yourself into,you only ever nodded dumbly.
It honestly felt good. Not that you were with him,but it all felt good to be back.
 Focusing on anywhere but the man who is beside you now,hands placed on the edge of the pool,his back muscles flex inward as he stares up at the dark airglow.
“I want to apologize” your head whipped to the side from where that voice came from,knowing damn well who it belonged to,and after what felt like 3 hours or more,but it was only a span of four minutes and less,you heard the man speak. 
You scoffed,seeing the male linger closer to you. “Don’t” you put up a hand,stopping him from moving any closer to you. 
Hating how his words make you almost shed tears,he was just trying to talk to you,and cutting it straight to the talk was something you weren’t prepared for.
Is he gonna bring up how embarrassing it might have been for you? Is he gonna tell you that you looked pathetic attempting to be all friendly with him?
“No, you have to listen to me” his hands reach for your wrist,grabbing one to stop you from moving around too much. “Shutting you out wasn’t my intention,y/n”
The more he spoke,the more it ached,yet his voice kept getting softer than ever.You wished he hadn’t bothered opening his mouth. But it was too late when he said the obvious. He did see you leaving that day,he did see your tears even if you weren’t facing him,when you left defeatedly. 
And he didn’t want to risk letting you go without an explanation this time,or even better,not let go of you.
In a swift motion,he steadies your body and smashes his lips on yours. You gasp when you feel his large palms roam freely around your body,seving a firm grip on your waist underwater. 
He moves his lips against yours faster,feeling every square inch of warmness your mouth holds the moment he pushes his strong hot muscle in.
“What the fuck-” you pulled away for a breather,only for your chest to be pushed flat against his hard built.  “Sunghoon–” he shuts you up with another sweetening kiss before you can revoke.
His fingers tug at the thin straps of your bottom piece. Your eyes widen in shock when you feel it come off in a matter of seconds but he doesn’t let you pull away for a second. His touches were leaving an impact on you heavily.
He sensed that you were not going to be so easy for him when you kept pushing him away with your flail movements to punch his chest. Simply moving his hands under your kneecaps,he wraps your legs around his waist. 
“Do me a favor and keep your mouth shut yeah?” he doesn’t give you enough time to respond and pushes your back to where his back once rested,your groin now fully in contact with his clothed bulge,the material of his trunks soaked wet,the tip nearly poking at your nub.
He pushes your hips forward,working your body up and down as well,taking every control of your own movements. Being under water made it easier for him to slide cock out,immediately rubbing it along the line of your folds.
He teases the wet tip onto your core,swirling and gathering your fluids which had been there ever since he laid his hands on you. Your breathing falls uneven when he lunges forward and takes one nipple into his mouth,sucking hard.
The pace of his hips never stops,even if it’s only brushing and teasing. You moan when he picks up the speed,rubbing himself continuously on your bare clit. 
After years of torments,he finally gets to finish what he had started alone. His lips rise up to leave a long trail of kisses along your neckline,to your lips.
Heck this felt ten times more euphoric than him jerking himself off to a mere clip. His heart beats faster when he hears you moaning and sink down on his length,but not taking him in yet. The urge to snap his pelvis against yours rises each passing second.
“Can feel how tight you would be for me baby” you needed to feel more of him,and as if he caught you thinking,midway,you felt your ass being groped and pulled up to be placed on the cold tiled edge.
He hums when he feels your delicate fingertips playing around with his hair,completely contrasting his brutal touches. 
Guiding his hand to yours,he brings it down and places it atop his lips,the soft feeling of it on your skin making you sigh in content. He pecks,sucks and fondles your every available skin at the parting of his mouth,with his tongue.savoring any taste of you.
“You have no idea how much you turned me on…” it’s sweetly sickening how his eyes never fucking left yours when he spoke those words out,or even when he created an intrusion when plunging two fingers in at once.
He absolutely adored how your face scrunched up in pleasure,wanting to see and feel more of you. He wondered if your greedy hole would be spread enough to take all of his shaft at one go.
Struggling to take more than one knuckle deep,he chuckles when you try to close your legs but he has to keep them open with only one of his hands. The double penetration of his fingers and him rubbing his cock,both were enough to rip out a guttural moan out of you.
Barely able to take your tiny top off,he succeeds on doing so on the second attempt. “Fuck,rub yourself on me–just like that-yes”,maintaining a strong hold on your waist,he keeps on pulling and pushing you till his eyes roll to the back of his skull.
Your pussy is what sunghoon ever wanted. For now,for always,and forever. Snaking his slender fingers to press down onto your core,his dick finds its way to your aching,gaping and twitching hole. 
“Soaking my fingers so good baby….have you thought about it as well.hmm?” He finds it amusing how filthy and greedy you are when you want something,but never showing the same interest when you’re not.
His words made you clench harder than ever. “Poor girl what would you do if i fuck you? Will you be a good girl and take it?” you nod dumbly again,grabbing his shoulders for support.
“Love the way your fingers grip onto me like a goddamn vice,I'm not the type to let you off so easily,baby. Could fuck you for hours and still your cunt won’t be ever satisfied,would it baby?Would even want to beat it so red from the inside,you just have to moan and cry for me,sweet thing” you never noticed how smugly he slid his cock in you,your eyes widening when you felt an inch or two in you,bare and raw.
“Opening up for me so good,it’s s’tight n’warm in here–shit” jaw slacking open,he slowly buckles his hips up. “Good girl,so good for me” your mouth forms an ‘o’ when he fully seethes in you.
“Want me to move?swear you won’t stop begging for more–please tell me you’re ready,tell me you want this” you cup his face and kiss him as a confirmation. This seemed to have pleased his mind,making him piston his hips into you faster,harder,deeper.
The roughness of his thrusts circulates an amount of ripples around your sweaty bodies. 
“Wanna cum?”angling his hips in a way,only to reach that spot deep in your womb,he grunts,moans and tugs roughly at your waist,pulling you down harshly. He parts your thighs open to slot himself in between properly. “Fuck–are you close–”
Your back arches and you only lay back on your elbows,his skilled hips hitting it so good. Your head falls and your body experiences a sudden jolt when a thumb presses hard against your bud,rubbing it while he assaults your insides,twisting your guts in pure ecstasy.
“S-so close–i’m close….d-don’t stop!” he quickly pulls out,not caring about his own release,letting it be forgotten,as he dives his tongue into your glistening and bare cunt. 
Dragging his wet muscle up and down at a maddening pace,making you shake violently,having little to no space for moving as his fingers dig into your thighs,holding you still as he devours your pussy,pushing you to the brink of a mindblowing orgasm.
“Fucking cum on my mouth,princess,you deserve it” his muffled voice and his tongue proding in you sent vibrations through your body as you finally saw whites in your eyes,cumming and letting it drain down his throat.
“Such a good girl cumming down my throat. Fuck i think i’m addicted to this pussy. Gonna let me taste it whenever I want,baby?” tasting your cum,feeling it drip past his lips to his chin,he felt pure bliss out of it. Maybe this is what heaven feels like. He thought
His hands gently caress your thighs,legs and waist,calming you down after a blissful release only he had given to you.
Now that the lust around the air started to thin out,you couldn’t help but ask,”you… you didn’t get to cum-” he was still kissing your knuckles,your words making him pull his head up to face you.
“Some other time,baby. You should go now” he meant for you to go to bed and wait for him. He thought you had caught the meaning behind his words. But what he didn’t know was, you misunderstood his words,again.
“Oh” it sounded more dreadful than ever,but park sunghoon was too oblivious to see that. And it made it even harder on your throat to take the lump down. It was starting to get painful again.
Creating a hand distance between you and him,you get up and grab a towel to cover your lower region. you still can't get over the fact that you let something this vulgar and nasty happen to you,and that too by a certain someone who never saw you more than anything but a fuck toy.
“I’m gonna be right there-”
“Don’t fucking bother”

Remaking my post with updates
My mom, who passed away more than a month ago, has been cremated by the funeral home. We were raising funds for a burial but we didnt reach it. She was taking up space in their morgue so the cremation was the only option left. They still wont give her ashes to us unless we pay our debt of 1,275$
My youngest brother was diagnosed with dengue during a hurricane. I took him to the nearest hospital not knowing that it costs so much here. He's already fine but we still cant pay the full bill of 630$. Staying here in the ward only makes the bill add up
We still don't have contact with my two other brothers who we lost when we fled the cemetery we were staying at when the entire cemetery flooded during a hurricane. They're only 17 and 12. I don't know if they've eaten or if something horrible has happened to them. They both have autism
Im already so hopeless. We just became orphans so suddenly and I am suddenly left to be in charge of my brothers. Im unemployed and i am severely anemic. It's a trouble for me to stay on a job because of my condition. I faint a lot and would be so physically tired all the time
Im not forcing anyone to donate, the world is getting more and more difficult to live in. I understand. But a reblog would help us so much, just to let this post reach a bigger audience. Just to reach someone who are able to spare us even a little. I am absolutely losing my mind here. Please, please, know i have exhausted ALL options that are available to people like us. This is my last resort

Ever Crisis Tips!
For anyone who started this game or wants to know what the best way to use your time/resources is, here are my tips to get stronger faster:
1: They recently added a 9x stamina option. This means 9 times the rewards with 9 times the stamina, but you save so much actual TIME. This makes grinding for everything a lot easier.
2: Give yourself a specific goal for anything that uses stamina. These will keep you from going insane. "I'm going to max out Aerith's exp." "I'm going to get all the highest weapon materials." "I'll get all the ice materia materials I could ever want!" "I'm going to max out Zack's Ifrit rarity!"
3: Use auto battle. Specifically, if you don't want to be in the top 1,000 of the dungeon rankings (that takes so much time and I am also convinced it costs money), only play levels you do not need to pay attention to. This still applies for stamina cost battles only. Your life will be so much easier if you passively get stronger through a bunch of auto battles than forcing yourself to pay attention.
4: Check on the Cetra Tower every once in a while. You will probably forget about it. If you give it a couple of tries and realize you aren't getting any closer to winning, LEAVE. It's not worth the heartache.
5: When gaining weapon materials, all the metal cubes can be broken down to the smaller ingots and such in the Exchange menu. NEVER waste your time playing early weapon material quests when you have access/can reliably complete the difficult quests. - Even for later materials, you will always run out of the rarest first. The genome pods and such cannot be broken down, but you will not want to either.
6: Weapon enhancement (grindstones) same deal: always play the highest level for the best rewards.
7: I suggest having an A team for difficult battles, a B team for when the A team maxes out, and a C "this team is my lowest level" for daily missions. You might not like everyone, but it feels like you're still making progress even if your A team is maxed out.
8: If there is a free draw, try to remember it with everything you have. Free draws are rare and incredibly useful.
9: Personally I always keep 36,000 crystals on the back burner in case a specific costume I really want appears in the next banner. It is incredibly difficult to maintain crystals if you want something from every banner. The real money option is incredibly expensive. Be careful.
10: Try not to forget about the dungeons, especially early game. But also don't hurt yourself on the crisis dungeons. If you feel like you're hitting your head against a wall, it's not worth the medals yet.
11: You will reach a point where the only thing stopping your characters from growing stronger is the weapon rarity. This will suck. The best you can do is gain materials for other uses.
12: Materia in the microwave: try not to forget but not the end of the world either. I suggest cooking up 3* of every single materia type you have access too. Don't worry about the 4* and 5* materia until everything at least has 3*.
13: Speaking of materia: focus on Ruin when you're bored. They cook fast and since almost every boss requires them, it's better to do more damage in those required levels with higher stars *.
14: Summons: Very hard 1 is the only very hard you should ever do outside of coop. Only complete this to unlock the summon stream/stronger attack. Since Auto battle can't complete them, don't repeat these levels.
15: Double speed is great, but if you lose a level, try turning off double speed. The game won't register certain attacks that should go through on double speed. Normal speed can actually be your key to victory, since all attacks that can go through will.
16: Coop sucks. We all know it, but the rewards are incredibly useful. Usually just doing the event coop will cover the weekly requirement, but check the items available anyway. Item drops increase for coop levels.
17: Save 40 stamina potions before an event begins so if you have time or really want the rewards, you can blow through it. Any more than 40 will become 99 WAY faster than you think it will, so try to use stamina when YOU have time.
18: Yes the phone version drains battery life, but it's also easier for multitasking. I play while folding my laundry or watching youtube. If this is impossible, there is also a steam version. And you can link your account so you won't lose any progress!
Good luck! Hope this helps!

I think the Tiktok reactions to Ulterior Motives/Everyone Knows that is so interesting.
Bit of a random and maybe weird post if you haven’t heard of this subject.
If you don’t know this was pretty popular ‘lost media’ and many people genuinely liked the song and were excited to find a longer version of the 17s that was available. Turns out it’s actually from and 80s adult movie and the reactions to this have been super interesting to witness. Most people are of course shocked but after the shock wore of and the jokes began I think there’s a very obvious difference in how people approach stuff related to sex.
I think we can all laugh at the actual origins but the people who seem to find it embarrassing or shameful especially if they think that about listening to the song need to grow up.
I’ve seen some interesting takes and conversations where people delve into this side of the industry and others just being genuinely cool about it (still joking and laughing). People talking about how there are a few released music and rare vinyls from artists who have featured in these movies obviously also had tried making it in a more general audience sort of way. This isn’t the first time people have tried to find artists through these… movies. Not everyone will become a star but it’s legit work to make music for that industry and years later there are people who genuinely enjoy the music.
Clearly the creator of this song was successful at what he does. He’s got a long list of musical credits for this type of movie.
But there are a lot of people who very clearly find anything remotely related to sex embarrassing and shameful in an immature sort of way. I’ve seen people say (most likely in a joking way) that it’s ‘traumatising’ as if it’s cringe and terrible.
Like people are really weird about the fact that the op (I can’t remember his name so I’ll say that) watch this film. It’s funny that he started an online search for the song yeah but not so much that he watched it. He took the time to record the song yeah that’s funny but people act like he’s the only guy ever to watch an adult movie.
Like yes it’s funny but I think it’s a pretty good subject to see tiktok purity culture.
I don’t want to see the film or hear unedited version of the song so I do get a bit of how people react. But that doesn’t mean that it makes the song inherently bad or wrong, I’ll just find the clean version (or ignore it existence if I was really that uncomfortable)
My point is sometime tiktok feels like it’s full of kids who just found out what sex was for thre fist time and thing it’s gross and icky instead of just growing up and getting over themselves and this was just a really interesting example of that

Bend Til We Break - Chapter 17
previous chapters
Tumblr media
[Quinn’s POV]
I called Y/n to tell her to just come home and that I’d leave and didn’t get an answer. I roll my eyes thinking of the past couple months and how she was just playing with my heart. I shake my head then clean the mess made on the table beside the couch where she was laying. I walk over and put the dishes in the sink and the garbage inside the garbage, then grab my keys and head down to my car. 
7:06pm flashes across the screen of my phone when I pull it out to call again. The line rings once before telling me the number I was calling was no longer in service. She fucking blocked me I think to myself and throw my car in drive. As I’m leaving the lot, my phone starts to ring. I don’t recognize the number so I let it ring. 
I come up to a stop light and the cops have us detouring around the street I usually take to go home. I follow the directions trying to look up the road to see what is going on but there is a bend in the road. I continue driving home and my phone rings again, it’s the same number. I press accept on my steering wheel instead of letter it ring this time. “Hello?” I say into the phone
“Hello, Is this Quintin Hughes?”
“Yes, it is”
“This is Pamela from Vancouver General. Are you in close proximity to the hospital Mr.Hughes?” the voice on the other side of the phone says
“Yes, what is going on?”
“The mother of your children was rushed in tonight, we will need some consent forms signed” Immediately I turn down a street and weave in and around traffic fast. 
“I-is she okay?” I ask 
“More information will be available for you when you arrive to the hospital” she says
I hang up and quickly make my way to the hospital. When I arrive I quickly leave my car and run into the hospital. I go to the ER and go straight to the front desk. 
“Hi, I’m Quinn Hughes. My girlfriend was rushed here tonight, uh- Y/f/n Y/l/n” I say and the women types some stuff into the computer. 
“One second Mr. Hughes” she says and leave the front area. A lady in scrubs comes out opening the door as the woman I was just talking to takes a seat back at the front desk. 
“Come with me” the woman in scrubs says. I follow her down the hallway and into an elevator, “I’m bringing you to Dr. Leland’s office, he will explain your girlfriend and children’s condition”.
“What happened?” I ask
“Ms.Y/l/n crossed the solid and was his by another car head on” she says
“Oh my god” 
The elevator door opens and I follow her to an office. As I sit a man walks into the room almost in a rush
“Hello Mr. Hughes, I’m Dr. Leland. I am the Doctor that will perform the surgery on your children if you decide upon this” he says while extending his hand out, and I stand and shake it. 
“How bad is it?” I ask
“Y/n is still in surgery right now with significant injuries. The twins miraculously could survive” 
“Could?” 
“I need permission from the father to operate to remove the children. Seeing as you are not the next of kin, you cannot speak on Y/n’s behalf. Thankfully her mother had agreed to do whatever to keep them alive through the phone. I have to warn you, this surgery could cause major complications for the mother”
“It’s too early, isn’t it?” I ask
“As Y/n is 38 weeks, the babies would not be born premature. But every forced labour has risks for everyone.
“So they all could-” I start but the lump in my stomach grows bigger, “they all could die?” I ask
“If you need a minute that is fine but I will need to know before they finish with her, I need to be in there as soon as they close up”
“Okay, I just need 5 minutes” I say pulling my phone out, 
“I’ll come in before I need to leave to operate” the doctors says leaving with the nurse as I click on my mother’s contact. It rings a few times before she answers: “Hey Quinney” she says through the phone, 
“Mom?” i say my voice breaking
“What is it honey?” 
“It’s Y/n, she got in an accident” 
“Oh no Quinn, What happened?” she asks. I tell her everything I know and the decision I have to make.
“And her mother said to go ahead with the surgery? What happens if there isn't surgery?” she asks me
“I don’t know I didn’t ask”
“Well what do you feel is the right thing to do?” She asks
“I can’t lose her” Is all I could say
“I can’t tell you want to do Quinn, but I am on the next flight out of here”
We say our goodbyes and I open the door asking if I could speak to him again, he nods and enters back into the office. 
“So what if I choose no surgery?” 
“Mr.Hughes when I said it was a miracle they could survive, I meant could. Once born they will be in this hospital for a very, very long time. Y/n might not be able to hold them for at least a month”
“So, we could lose them both?”
“Potentially, Or one. It’s hard to tell right now”
“What are the chances of-”
“Mr.Hughes,-”
“Quinn”
“Quinn, we will do our very best to keep her breathing” he says and I let the tears fall as he looks at the clock, “I will need to scrub in now if you choose to go ahead”
“Okay, just don’t let her die” I say and the doctor gives me a sad nod before leaving the room and down the hall accompanied by 3 other nurses. The other nurse tells me to follow her to the waiting room and gives me some papers to sign. 
I look at the time 9:38pm.

Forbidden Euphoria [Chapter 5]
Tumblr media
As Jungkook's connection with you deepens, he gradually shifts from his playboy history to a more open and vulnerable version of himself, all the while accompanied by his enthusiastic canine companion, Bam.
Tags: Jungkook x Reader, Jungkook isn't monogamous, Jung-Hyun makes an apparition along with Bam :) (no smut in this part)
Length: 2.7k words
A/N: This chapter focuses on delving into a better comprehension of Jungkook. Although his actions aren't condoned, they are explored within a wider perspective.
Previous Chapter / Next Chapter
...
Jungkook has never been the monogamous type. At the age of 5, his best girl friend wanted them to be together. But he said no because he remembered how his father used to hurt his mother every night. He thought love always ended up causing pain to someone.
By the time he turned 15, puberty hit and he became more popular with girls. Due to persistent advances from one of them, he finally gave in. Even though he didn't find her particularly attractive or funny, strangely, this made him not care if he hurt her. Later on, he started dating another girl while still being with the first one, leading to the unintentional breaking of his first hearts. The thing is, he didn't want to get too emotionally attached. He had seen how bad it could be, so he didn't want to live like that.
At 17, he was simultaneously dating at least 6 different girls, engaging intimately with all of them. His friends dubbed him "the king." He simply thought, I provide them pleasure without harming myself. Although he cared for all of them, he lacked a desire to favor any particular connection.
At 20, his parents' divorce brought immense relief; he believed he could finally straighten things out in his life. He tried to commit exclusively to one girl. She possessed beauty, humor, and a strong love for food. They cohabitated, shopped for furniture, and cooked meals together. He convinced himself that he could embrace a more conventional path.
However, six months later, she caught him in bed with one of her friends.
Feeling alone and realizing she wasn’t available, he messed up.
Post-incident, he offered apologies and parted ways. Recognizing that committed relationships were not his journey, he vowed never to entangle himself again. This decision was born out of a desire to spare others pain and honor his own needs.
And then there's you. Your entrance into his life is like a gentle breeze, soothing and calming. Your dedication to work, clear objectives, and contrasting personality catch his attention right away. Your unwavering focus and determination despite challenges become a magnet for his curiosity.
His interest is piqued. He wants to know more about you, and he finds in each interaction an opportunity to get closer. The extra hours at the office are no longer a means of distancing himself but an excuse to be near you. You, who seem not to have someone waiting for you at home, become the focal point of his attention.
He truly desires for you to hold a positive opinion of him and to see him as a decent person. You stand out from everyone he encountered previously. Your dedication to your work and your clear life objectives sharply contrast with his own uncertain demeanor. This is why he holds you in high regard.
He's perceptive enough to see beyond your surface and recognizes your vulnerability, even though you attempt to appear strong at work. Your consistent blushing when he hints or gazes at you indicates that you haven't been treated kindly by men before. This upsets him because you deserve better. You're worth far more than he could ever offer. Yet, he's determined to give you the very best he can.
He would carry the weight of regret throughout his life if he missed the chance to be with a woman like you. That very first night at the hotel, he poured his heart and soul into ensuring it would be a memory etched in your mind forever. Never before had he encountered a woman so refined and precious. But then you caught him getting into the car with someone else, and he felt like he was 20 again, caught red-handed. He did warn you he wasn't single, but the way you hurried away showed him how much he was hurting you, and it hurt him too.
It was this sequence of events that led him to your doorstep, utterly intoxicated, with alcohol acting as his catalyst to summon the courage needed to see you. How does he tell a woman like you, I’m afraid of being alone and I’m a selfish jerk? He finds himself at a loss for words. Instead, he chooses to candidly share his need for personal freedom, even though deep down, all he truly yearns for is to find solace in your embrace for an eternity. The prospect of his own feelings terrifies him.
Yet, when you mention the possibility of being with someone else – that you might also look for another person – he loses his composure. You don’t understand; if he's going to sleep with other girls, it's to escape from loneliness and to avoid suffocating you with his constant need for attention. His intention is to prevent you from growing weary of him. While if you were to date someone else, you might find a person who's ready for commitment, and he fears you could quickly forget about him.
For Jungkook, these feelings aren't just casual. He's open to evolving, to becoming a better version of himself worthy of your love, even though he can't make any promises. His willingness to embrace transformation arises from a genuine desire to protect you from hurt, even if it means he might endure his own.
Jungkook observes your peaceful slumber, your slow breaths betraying your comfort. The idea of waking you up tugs at his heart, but he recognizes the necessity. He doesn't want to depart abruptly after the night you've shared, striving to avoid any perception that he's eager to leave.
"Hello, beautiful," he murmurs in a soft voice. His hand rests on your leg, a gentle caress aimed at rousing you. You emit a groan of complaint, eventually peeling open one eye. The morning tableau that meets your gaze is rather pleasant - Jungkook in his boxers, his abs and tattoos on full display. Your gaze doesn't hold back.
"Do you like what you see?" He playfully teases, evoking a bashful response from you as you bury your head in the pillow. Memories of the previous night flood over you, and a blush creeps onto your cheeks as you replay your conversations. It's almost surreal to think that it's you who experienced it all.
"I need to head back to take care of Bam. He missed me yesterday, poor thing," he reluctantly imparts. He'd prefer to linger with you, but his paternal responsibilities beckon. You don't want him to leave; he appears so youthful and innocent, his big round eyes reflecting disappointment as he prepares to depart.
He's the same man who mentioned wanting to see you and other girls. You wonder if he's really being truthful. Could he be using this as an excuse to meet someone else without hurting you? Doubts start to creep in, and you question yourself for being cautious. 
"Go, I'll be fine."
"You can come with me if you want."
You really do want to. The strong desire to know him better, to uncover his story, is clear. Even though you don't expect to change him, putting together all the pieces of the puzzle might provide some comfort as you deal with the situation.
The bus route takes you past your workplace, and you're taken aback that Jungkook leaves his hand on your thigh, even though you could encounter someone familiar at any moment. Thoughts cross your mind about whether colleagues might discover your connection, potentially leading to complications. Instances like these tend to further tarnish a woman's image. Nonetheless, you dismiss these concerns, believing that true feminism entails not being bothered by others' opinions, right?
You rest your head on his shoulder, hearing his soft chuckle full of affection. He plants a gentle kiss on your head, and you can't help but wonder why things can't remain as uncomplicated as they are between you two.
Upon arriving at his place, a large Doberman eagerly rushes to his owner, prompting you to step back and allow their reunion. The dog's barking directs your attention, and you respond by moving closer to give it a few affectionate strokes. "I was right, he's cuter than you," you playfully jest, a smile forming on your lips.
Observing the interaction, Jungkook notices Bam's enthusiastic response to you, mirroring the flutter in his own chest.
Feeling a sense of pride as he introduces you to his cherished canine companion, your thoughts drift to whether he has introduced Bam to others and how many others might there be.
As you gaze upon Bam, you can't help but wish for a way to clear your mind of these thoughts. Almost as if attuned to your inner turmoil, Jungkook's voice interrupts your reverie. "Bam only knows my closest friends. And even though you mean more to me than that, I want you as a friend too, if you're okay with that." He nervously scratches the back of his neck, leaving you torn between confusion and affection.
"I could be your friend," you reply, although you wish for something more than friendship. The distance between you two feels suffocating, urging you to take a step forward. You gently cradle his face in your hands, bridging the gap with a kiss that surprises him.
"But friends don't do that," you retort after a pause, playfully teasing. Jungkook's blush reveals his unspoken desire, and for the first time, you notice the hint of color on his cheeks.
Bam's energetic barking prompts you to decide, "We could go for a walk. Let’s make Bam happy too."
Jungkook agrees, recognizing the specialness of this occasion – his first time walking Bam with a woman. He's as delighted as his tail-wagging dog.
Together, you stroll to a nearby park, coffee in hand and Bam's leash in the other. Simple moments like these bring you both joy and relief, allowing you to escape the mounting tension from earlier.
"Do you want to discuss last night?" he inquires, his tone carrying a serious undertone. "What do you mean by 'last night'?"
"It was rather... intense. I've never spoken like that before."
A warmth spreads across your cheeks as memories flood back, leaving you breathless. You attempt to regulate your breath as Jungkook halts, guiding you to meet his gaze. "I don't want you to feel embarrassed around me. I love sensing you let go, and I'm curious about discovering more together. I think you might like it too.”
Interrupted by Bam's growling, you're momentarily speechless. You've never allowed yourself to be so vulnerable with someone before. But then again, no one else is quite like Jungkook.
"I've never been... into this kind of thing before. I guess I was... turned on by the way you talked to me?" you manage to say, stumbling over your words.
"Do you enjoy it when I tease you - when I put you down?"
The knot inside you tightens, warmth spreading – he's hit the mark, quite literally. But you can't admit it.
"No, it's just..."
A ringing phone interrupts your conversation, and you're very much relieved. Jungkook apologizes as he takes out his phone and answers quickly. You patiently wait for him to finish his call while playing with Bam.
"Hey... I'm outside, taking Bam for a walk."
"No, I'm with Y/N."
"I... I'll check with her."
"See you tonight."
Following this conversation, what Jungkook asks of you genuinely catches you off guard and leaves you unprepared.
"So...would you be interested in meeting my brother?"
As you agree, a mix of anticipation and nervousness swirls within you. You, who wanted answers about Jungkook's past, might finally be getting just that. 
After returning to Jungkook's apartment following your walk, you spend the entire afternoon nestled in the comfort of his bed. As the sun starts its descent, your emergence from the shared cocoon is accompanied by a lingering sense of contentment that hangs in the air like a comforting fragrance.
A revitalizing shower rinses away the traces of the day's closeness, leaving you feeling renewed. After slipping into fresh clothes, you step into the kitchen where Jungkook is orchestrating a culinary masterpiece.
His gaze meets yours, and a genuine smile graces his lips. "Make yourself comfortable. Dinner will be ready soon."
You settle into a cozy corner, your eyes tracing the graceful dance of Jungkook's movements as he works his culinary magic. The symphony of utensils and cookware, along with the soft melodies playing in the background, creates a soothing ambiance that envelops the space. This shared culinary endeavor becomes a moment of intimacy, a small yet significant step in your growing connection.
Just as the tantalizing aromas of the meal start to weave their way around the room, the door swings open, revealing another presence. Jungkook's brother, Jung-Hyun, steps in with a genial smile. "Hey, dinner smells amazing in here."
Jungkook's features transform, a mixture of surprise and delight playing across his face. "You're early, Hyun."
A chuckle escapes Jung-Hyun as he approaches you, his hand extended in a friendly gesture. "You must be the one colleague Jungkook can't stop talking about. I'm Jung-Hyun."
You shake his hand, exchanging a smile that carries a sense of genuine warmth. "Nice to meet you. I'm Y/N."
Jung-Hyun takes a seat opposite you, and the three of you engage in casual conversation. The atmosphere is easygoing, and Jung-Hyun's presence seems to complement Jungkook's, adding another layer of comfort to the space. As dinner progresses, the stories flow naturally, and you're intrigued by the glimpses Jung-Hyun shares about their childhood and experiences growing up.
In the midst of this lively exchange, you pick up on subtle cues - the way Jungkook's shoulders tense and his brows furrow whenever their parents are mentioned. It's as if there's a hidden chapter of their lives that elicits these reactions, unspoken stories etched into their expressions.
"Perhaps you should visit Dad sometime," his brother suggests casually. "He's been missing you."
Jungkook's response is swift and firm. "I'm not as forgiving as you are."
As the conversations ebb and flow, you're flooded with the urge to inquire, to unravel the enigma lurking beneath their words. Yet, you're mindful of not prying too deeply, not wishing to stir discomfort in Jungkook's heart. Graciously, Jung-Hyun senses your curiosity and offers his own insight. 
"Our father had a streak of violence - directed not only towards our mother but also at Jungkook. I'm the exception." The weight of his words hangs heavy in the air, and you catch the apologetic look Jung-Hyun shoots his younger brother's way. It's a glimpse into the guilt he harbors, a silent lament for not having shielded Jungkook from the storm.
The conversation drifts onto lighter shores as dinner continues, anecdotes and laughter intertwining. Your fingers find their way to Jungkook's back, tracing gentle patterns of solace since learning about his past. It's a subtle show of support, a silent promise that you're here, willing to listen and understand, whenever he's ready to share.
As Jung-Hyun heads out, he plants a friendly peck on your cheek, a genuine smile gracing his lips. The warm touch lingers on your skin, and you can't help but sense his approval. Leaning in, he whispers, "Look after him, I'm putting my trust in you," and you respond with an instinctive nod - it's precisely what you've been hoping for.
The evening gently winds down, casting a warm glow through the kitchen. With just you and Jungkook, the room feels like a sanctuary of shared experiences and unspoken understandings.
"I hope this isn’t too much," his words are a soft murmur, carrying a vulnerable undertone.
Your smile in return carries reassurance, a reflection of your genuine appreciation. "Thank you for letting me in."
The tension that once clenched his shoulders seems to dissipate, leaving behind an authentic sigh of relief. His fingers intertwine with yours, the touch gentle and sincere.
In response, you give his hand a tender squeeze, conveying your unwavering presence and support. "Right here with you, Jungkook."
As you stand there, connected in both touch and understanding, he gazes at you with an expression that seems to reveal a fragility and youthfulness you hadn't noticed before. In that moment, you feel an overwhelming desire to shield him, to keep him safe forever.

Icelandic whales and ecotype
I’ve seen some claims going around that the Icelandic whales displayed in zoos and aquariums for the past several decades are actually two different ecotypes, with some being “North Atlantic type 1″ and a few others being “North Atlantic type 2″.
I think this is completely wrong, and will show you why.
Above are an assortment of ecotype infographics.
As you can see, “type 1″ are the typical whale you’ll find off Iceland and Norway. They eat mainly herring and other small fish (though some individuals have been observed taking seals), and males typically range from 6.2-6.6 meters, females, around 5.5 meters.
They have clear saddlepatches, and tend to have eyepatches like this:
Tumblr media
As the closeup of the map image (last image in the collection above) shows, “type 1″ orcas are also in turn split into type A and B. Type “1A”, if you will, follow exactly the range of where Icelandic whales were caught, and along the Norwegian coast (this eyepatch collage is of both Icelandic and Norwegian whales).
As all the other ecotype infographics show, “type 1″ live off Iceland, Norway, with a couple pointing out that they may range as far south as Scotland and Ireland.
Tumblr media
“Type 2″ on the other hand, is huge, one of the largest killer whales anywhere on Earth (after Antarctic type A). Males are 7.5-8.5 meters long, females 6.5-7 meters. They have distinctive downwards sloping eyepatches (like sad eyebrows, seen above), faint saddlepatches, are are very rarely seen, range around Britain, Ireland, the Faroes, and occasionally as far as Svalbard - not Iceland or Norway. They are mammal-eaters, specializing in minke whales as prey. Today, only a few of them remain.
The claim is then, that some of our Icelanders in human care are secretly, actually, type 2.
Let’s look at them. I have gathered all the whales caught in Iceland into a large collage, here split for ease of viewing. The only named whales I couldn’t get good enough images of were Canuck 2, Magnus and Benkei 2.
If the whale is still alive or died as an adult, I will provide measurements, if known.
I originally wrote descriptions for all the following whales, but it got tiring, repetitive, and too lengthy.
Tumblr media
Kim, Gudrun, Kenau, Kandu 5, Hoi Wai, Kona 2, Winnie, Betty, Kahana, and Kasatka.
All of very typical “type 1″ looks.
Kim
Gudrun has no measurements available, but as can be seen when she lived at SeaWorld as a full-grown female, she was not large.
Kenau was caught with Gudrun. She was 5.5 meters long when she died at age 16.
Kandu 5. Interestingly, Orkid is the only whale in human care who has anything like the type 2 eyepatch, but she’s the daughter of Kandu who does not, and a Northern resident (Canadian) father who also did not. Kandu measured under 5.4 meters when she died.
Hoi Wai
Kona 2 was likely caught with Kandu 5, had enormous, distinct eyepatches, and she was 5.5 meters long at the time of death.
Winnie was caught with Hoi Wai as said, had a typical Icelandic eyepatch, and the same size and shape as other Icelandic females she lived with.
Betty was caught along with Katina, so they were likely pod mates.
Kahana was caught with Kasatka. She was particularly petite, measuring barely 5.1 meters when she died aged 15.
Kasatka was a mere 5.2 meters long, and looks nothing like a type 2 whale.
Tumblr media
Shawn
Kotar was 17-18 years old when he died, and measured 6.4 meters at the time of his death.
Katina is a typical, squat and stocky Icelandic whale with large eyepatches. She is just barely 5.5 meters long.
Dzul-ha
Caren was just 10-11 years old when she died, and measured 5 meters long.
Kiska was a larger female at 6 meters. Large for a type 1, but nowhere near the 6.5-7 meter type 2 females.
Keiko was an average-sized type 1 male at about 6.4 meters.
King
Ulises is another average-sized type 1 male, at 6.4 meters.
Bjossa is another I can find no measurements of, but she was much smaller than Corky, who is 6.1 meters (a Northern resident). She looks typical of an Icelandic whale if a bit long. Looking at the top middle whale of my eyepatch collage, that whale looks just like Bjossa.
Tumblr media
Finna was caught along with Ulises, Bjossa and Vigga, his pod mates.
Vigga was another stocky and short female with large eyepatches, notably smaller than her 6 meter Northern resident companion.
Nemo
Neptune
Ruka
Noni/Nootka was stocky and large female, at 6 meters, but with a bright saddle and eyepatches so commonly seen among Icelandic and Norwegian herring-eaters.
Freya was the only adult I could find who had a truly faint saddle patch (note that juveniles of all ecotypes tend to have faint saddles). She was also very long and slender compared to the typical, more stocky Icelandic female. She was however caught along with Kim 2 and Haida 2, and measured 6 meters in her late 20s. Her eyepatch is not type 2.
Haida 2 was, unlike her likely pod mate Freya, very typical in appearance for a type 1. She measured 5.2 meters at the age of 13.
Kim 2 was reportedly a large male, at 6.9 meters, just under Tilikum in size.
Nootka 4 (strange designation since she was caught one year after “Nootka 5″) was the same size as Haida.
Tumblr media
Tilikum was the largest Icelandic killer whale in human care, reportedly at just under 7 meters, though I have also seen 6.7 meters (in 2016, shortly before his death). Even if he was 6.9 meters, that is indeed large for a type 1, but absolutely minute for a type 2, and he looks nothing like them.
Nandu
Samoa was 5.15 meters long when she died, with a clear type 1 eyepatch and saddle patch.
Junior
Bingo had interesting triangular eyepatches and a black line in his saddle, and measured 6.5 meters in his early 30s.
Patty
Kandu 7
Prince
Maggie
Oscar was an unusually small male, measuring only 5.8 meters at the age of 26.
Tumblr media
Stella is very small, only around 5.2 meters long.
Ai
Ran
Sharkane
Tanouk measured 6.4 meters in his teens (meaning he would grow larger for a few years).
So that’s all of them, except for Canuck 2, Magnus, and Benkei 2.
Then, there is this:
You can stop calling North Atlantic killer whales type 1 and type 2
“The main issue with type 2 killer whales came from the small sample size (5 individuals)”
“In the meantime, Dr. Foote suggested we just drop the “type 1/type 2” classification for now.”
There is simply no basis to think any of the above 45 whales from Iceland are or were the “type 2″ whales, like John Coe.

PJO, Disney, and Palestine
I'm seeing some nonsense in the PJO fandom rn about how to support Palestine. And, though I'm by no means an expert, I am super super done seeing all the nastiness and bad takes. So I'm gonna try to clear up some confusion.
Long post ahead, bear with me <3
First, let me be real clear: Free Palestine.
I'm not getting into it more than that. You either know already or should know about the ongoing genocide. If you don't know, there are plenty of resources available.
Obviously, we should all be doing everything we can to support Palestine. There are lots of ways to do this. One of those ways is to observe boycotts called for by the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement.
BDS has a policy on Disney. But it does not mean what most of this fandom thinks it means.
Here is the official list of BDS targets as of three days ago (1/17/24):
Tumblr media
(source)
You'll notice there are four types of targets. Let's go.
1.) Consumer boycott targets
This is the category most people think of. BDS has asked for a total consumer boycott of these brands. In other words: do not buy from these brands.
Tumblr media
[List from image: AXA, Puma, HP, Chevron, Ahava, Carrefour, Caltex, Siemens, RE/MAX, Texaco, SodaStream]
Worth noting: Sabra hummus is also a major part of this list. Not sure why it was left out of the graphic.
Here is more info from BDS about the reasoning for these choices. You'll notice that Disney is not in this target category. Let's move on.
2.) Divestment and exclusion targets
This category is about pressuring governments and institutions to end their dealings with these brands on a large scale.
It's really important to note that BDS is not asking consumers to boycott this category. The best way we can support is to put pressure on our institutions (e.g. local governments, universities).
Obviously, if you personally want to stop buying from these brands, you can! But that is not the ask from BDS right now. That is your personal choice.
Tumblr media
[List from image: Elbit Systems, Intel, Chevron, CAF, Barclays, JCB, CAT (Caterpillar Inc.), Volvo, TKH Security, HD Hyundai, Hikvision]
Still don't see Disney, right? Moving on.
3.) Pressure targets
And here we have arrived!
✨✨ This category includes Disney. ✨✨
BDS is asking us to conduct pressure campaigns against these targets.
This can include boycotting ("when reasonable alternatives exist")! It can also include:
lobbying (sending letters, emails, petitions...)
peaceful disruptions (nonviolent direct action, protests)
social media pressure ("hey followers, go sign this petition! go call this number!" "@ slimy corporation, why do you support genocide?")
Tumblr media
[List from image: Google, Amazon, Booking.com, Teva, Expedia, AirBnB, Disney]
Again, if you personally want to boycott these brands, go ahead! That is a valid and worthwhile choice that you can make. It's worth noting though that boycotting does not mean just pirating a show on a different platform.
Boycotting is about ending our support as consumers completely.
That means ending subscriptions, canceling accounts. It also means not consuming any products from these companies or their subsidiaries. For Disney that includes Marvel, ABC, ESPN, Pixar, National Geographic, and literally a billion others. For Google, it's not just the search engine but things like Google Docs and YouTube.
As you can imagine, a complete consumer boycott of these brands would be complicated. That is why, strategically, BDS is not asking for that at this time.
It is imperative that the movement to free Palestine is strategic and organized.
The BDS movement has been doing this work for a long time. Following their lead is a good idea. Directing our energy into the actions they recommend is efficient and vital.
I've seen a lot of people in this fandom saying to boycott Disney as if it's a top priority, or even harassing others for continuing to engage with Disney content. That is nonsense and unhelpful.
There is too much to do, urgently, for us to waste time.
That said, let's briefly go over the last category:
4.) Organic boycott targets
These are boycott campaigns that developed independently. While BDS is not diverting official energy towards fighting these brands, it does support the public in that fight.
In other words, don't buy from these brands.
Tumblr media
[List from image: McDonald's, Domino's Pizza, Papa John's Pizza, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Wix]
Not listed but worth noting: people are also boycotting Starbucks
In conclusion,
Tumblr media
This? Still true.
Just be strategic and informed about it. And don't be an asshole. There is too much work still to do.
[Also, before someone gets on my case about Rick Riordan, I made a whole separate post about it here.]

clipped this ages ago to show some friends the most terrifying thing i've ever had the pleasure of experiencing, just now got around to uploading it bc i think Everyone should get to experience the same terror i did when i listened to this in the middle of a shift at work :)!
transcript under the cut!
AUSTIN: [...] it’s Fort Icebreaker. It shoots you before you get anywhere near it. You know what I mean? Like, there isn’t-- there, it’s part of a big military base, it’s like, there’s-- those other methods of infiltration haven’t been available, no-one’s done the thing you’ve done. This is like that bit in Hitman, where Diana goes like, “huh.”
JACK: (laughing) Disguises…
AUSTIN: “Oh, putting on a disguise, 47? I’ve never seen anyone do that before.” and she means it? This is, like, literally, you are doing the plan, this is a novel plan for you, for this world. Um. And so, that isn’t the thing for me.
[MUSIC: RADIOSATIC. HIATUS. REDSKY.]
The question is whether or not you can still be in control of Juniper when it gets here. Because, passing through the fog, like ghosts, I mean, like, the undead, in a real way, is The Black Century.
The Black Century is, and I think maybe, you-- you have probably heard this, you know this, this is not, this is like one of those things that gets whispered about, and it’s creepy.
KEITH: When you’re saying we’ve heard this, you’re not saying us, the players--
AUSTIN: No, the players have not heard this, this is new to you.
The Divine, Motion, which is what Gur Sevraq warned you about in the last, in the downtime… is a Divine dedicated to ensuring that things keep going. That Apostalos gets where it needs to, takes what it needs to, and that those that are loyal to their nation do not stop fighting. It’s called The Black Century because it is composed of one hundred soldiers, spread between infantry, armored and support roles. They’re also called that because you serve for one hundred years, and the Divine Motion ensures that you live through that century, no matter what befalls you. This goes also for its elect, Hyacinth, who is in their final years of service.
Over this hill, through the fog, come these mechs, these hallows, that look as if they are undead. The joints are loose, the way that they move is sickly in some instances. Unpredictable. There are three kind-of types. There are two of those Kosmos units we saw before, except instead of having, like, shielded faces, their faces are all scarred up from previous battles. All of them are filled with holes that should stop them from working, and yet, they move. There are three of these things called Cackles, which are four-legged, hyena-style mechs, which howl in the fog. And moving above all that are these four flying units, that look like a blend between a bearded vulture and a harrier jet. Their march towards you is syncopated. It is empty of affect. There is no presentation of bloodlust, there is none of that famous Apostolisian courage. It is just shuffling through the silent wind. And then, up through the grey fog, something shoots. The sky is this, like, static, the Perennial Wave and the overcast day. And then there’s this, just, trail of smoke that carries a black flare into the sky above you, and it, it brightens, but darkens at the same time? And for just a moment, the horizon around you stretches forever, and everything - the battlefield, Juniper itself, the hills - it loses colour and inverts, and in that moment, framed on the hills to the south in white and black is something strange, barely contained by its mechanical body. It’s almost, almost writhing. And in the miles behind that, the seeming endless distance behind it, more bodies seem to move yet. If this is anything, it is a spear head. Motion is here.

spoiler alert: yes i prefer all the pretty female non li side characters to any actually available (either male or female) li. all day any day. live laugh love michelle nguyen, diana, ingrid, and briar daly. also dee dee but she's mc's family so i'll have to make a different character for her, sorry andre.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. bachelorette party
full name: leanne gahan
age: 30
gender: cis female
pronouns: she/her
sexuality: greysexual, panromantic, ambiamorous
love interests: diana (formerly), ash tanaka (currently)
occupation: lawyer, former model
more: yes, she's a gyaru, and even in professional lawyer mode she'll still at the very least wear light gal makeup. she's been one since the "glam queens" — her, court, di, and aisha — first formed, and she even modeled as one before she took on her current job as a lawyer. she started a fwb (but with actual friendship) type relationship with diana in college that ended once diana established herself as straight and fell for skip, and again on the trip to vegas after her poor friend started to reconsider not only her supposed love for skip but also her sexuality.
2. bloodbound
full name: raida pearce
age: 23 (physically)
gender: cis female
pronouns: she/her
sexuality: bisexual w/ male preference, polyamorous
love interests: jax matsuo, adrian raines
occupation: pa, former club dancer
more: she, jax and adrian are in a polyfidelity relationship, they're all in love with each other and no one else. she's an amateur dancer and has been since age 15. after the world discovered vampires, she's been dressing almost impossibly bright and poppy, partly to defy the stereotype that all vampires are goth and partly in memory of her best friend lily and the contrast she'd have with her. she's the oldest of seven — her mother really wanted a boy but only after the birth of her youngest she got told that, as the bloodkeeper, she's unable to bear biological sons. fortunately one of raida's many siblings came out as a trans boy, to their mother's glee.
3. crimes of passion
full name: ashley rose
age: 28
gender: non binary transmasc
pronouns: they/them
sexuality: nblm, exact sexuality unclear/unlabeled
love interest: m!trystan thorne
occupation: private investigator
more: before realizing one can be attracted to men and assume a masculine role in a relationship, ashley frequently asked themself "do i want to be the prince or be with him?" at one point, they were secretly in love with luke, but since he's straight and ruby also likes him, they kept it a secret from everyone. their mother, carolina varela, is argentine, and ever since they learned that they've felt a desire to connect more with the culture — especially with the food, you'll frequently find them eating a choripan, empanada or milanesa de pollo.
4. getaway girls
full name: mirah thompson
age: 27
gender: trans female
pronouns: she/her
sexuality: bisexual
love interest: m!jordan paudwal
occupation: chef
more: growing up with feminine interests in an almost female-only family with maia, anita and dee dee means mirah has always seen herself as "one of the girls" even before realizing she really is one. her parents try their best to support her but are still quite behind, and so they thought that as a woman, she has to marry a man. she's had to prove multiple times that she likes women and wants to marry (f!)kamali... a woman that ended up cheating on her due to wanting "a real woman" and inadvertently leading her back into the arms of her ex boyfriend from college, the only person she's ever loved that truly loves her for all of her.
5. murder at homecoming
full name: valentine mandy stone
age: 17
gender: trans male / boyflux
pronouns: they/he
sexuality: demisexual biromantic
love interest: tyler woods
occupation: amateur detective
more: despite no longer identifying as female, mandy still likes wearing dresses and full glam, partly to blend in with the crowd and partly in memory of perdita (yes, they frequently steal from her). at least that's what he always says. they're always lamenting that perdita never got to meet their true self, since she went missing before mandy realized they weren't cis, but part of him thinks she must know anyway. they're frequently described as "having the soul of a divorced wine mom" by classmates due to their personality and style, and he likes to disagree with them, but deep down he knows they're all right.
6. high school story (au?, more of an oc than a mc, i only remember i created her alongside an alternate mc from the one i usually play as)
full name: darlene murphy
age: 16
gender: afab demigirl
pronouns: they/she
sexuality: lesbian, questioning aspec
love interest: giselle zhou (au — trans!f!aiden zhou)
occupation: n/a
more: for a girl that looks and dresses like elle woods' daughter, darlene sure has a secret geeky side and is frequently found discussing one piece with myra and the rest of the gamer clique. they've also got a passion for fashion, having helped giselle find her style at the same time koh helped her medically transition and later working on costumes for the theatre club. she, giselle and koh (and cameron, as of spring quarter) might be quite the odd squad at first glance, but the four have grown to be inseparable, and darlene finds herself spending more time with her girlfriend and their "third wheels" than with her classmates.
7. distant shores
name: elias bellamy
age: 25
gender: gnc cis male
pronouns: she/he. it'd be just she/her, but she knows people from the golden age of piracy won't understand the concept of pronouns not equaling gender so she just lets them call her he/him. so far the only person she's tried to explain it to (the pronouns, not the gender non conformity - that's an open secret among the crew) is edward, who still doesn't quite fully understand it yet but tries the hardest he possibly can to support her.
sexuality: questioning if gay or bi
love interest: edward mortemer
occupation: pirate, sailor
more: fortunately for elias, being a relatively experienced actor means she's far less likely to accidentally reveal her time traveling secret. unfortunately for her, having time traveled to a far less progressive era means she's also forced to change the way she dresses and acts. early in her stay at the poseidon's revenge, charlie spotted her rifling in the former's closet to see if there were any dresses and came very close to disciplining her, until elias admitted she prefers men and had no perverted intentions at all... and that's the first time she ever confided in her sexuality and identity to a member of the crew that isn't edward.
8. desire and decorum
full name: pamela harper, née pamela foredale, née née pamela liu
age: 23
gender: cis female
pronouns: she/her
sexuality: it's not something she dwells on or likes to. even before annabelle introduced her to the concept of not being straight, she's known she's what the modern world would label as pan. she feels her heart has no boundaries on things like birth sex or gender identity, she loves everyone and can be w anyone, but she's too in love with luke to think like that about anyone that isn't him.
love interests: briar daly (formerly), luke harper (currently)
occupation: countess of edgewater
more: before traveling to edgewater, pamela wanted to become either a singer like her mother or a baker like briar's mother. she used to have a relationship with briar that one can only describe as "practicing to become wives" in every aspect, with briar of all people being pamela's first time. unfortunately briar really saw it as just practicing, but fortunately they stayed best friends after their failed relationship. her mother gave her the name "劉瑷菡" (liu aihan) but deep down she's always preferred pamela (or pam), even before she knew her father gave her that name.
9. ride or die
full name: maya minobe (美濃部魔夜)
age: 18
gender: trans female
pronouns: she/her
sexuality: lesbian
love interest: ingrid (yes, ingrid. it's technically colt since that's whose romance route i played, but i'd love for her to be a li and so maya dates her in my verse. in between prom and graduation they form a friendship that quickly turns into romantic feelings, but there's definitely been mutual pining and lesbian panic from both sides even before ingrid swallowed her pride and became actual friends with maya)
occupation: n/a
more: she started transitioning at age 15 and originally picked the nickname "kokoro" from a kanji in her deadname (健心), but eventually landed on maya, meaning "magical night". she used to dress in between dark academia and gloomy coquette, but almost as soon as she met the mercy park crew she changed her style to a mix of romanba gyaru and 2000s party girl, dying her hair blonde, learning to do her makeup and acting a lot more bubbly and fun. thanks to her new style, personality and pink ride, she's earned the epithet "racing barbie" by members of the racing scene and rival gangs tracking down the mpc.

I hope this little library is as useful for you as it has been for me. If you’re currently struggling with an unhealthy relationship, just remember you’re not alone, and you deserve better.
Take really good care of you, now and always 🤍.

FAQ
(will be updated as time goes on)
What is this being written on?
ChoiceScript. I would try Twine, but my other game has a nice steady base on ChoiceScript, and I'd rather not move it over.
Can I make fanfic/art/etc? Can I show you my MC/fanfic/art/etc?
Yes! Please do! I welcome it wholeheartedly!
Do you have a patreon or ko-fi?
No, not as of right now. This will change later.
Is the rating 18+?
Yes. I'd say I believe the minimum age would be 17+, due to sexual content that can be fade to black.
Note: All sex scenes will be fade to black on the public demo. A private demo will be available for patreon or ko-fi donators when we get there which will include the explicit scene option (think ao3) and the "lite" version (think published smut).
How is the story formatted?
It will play out similarly to a dating sim/otome game. There will be 1-2 common starting chapters and then it will branch out into 6 routes for the ROs. All routes will have the same 6 key plot events, but will be different in how they're approached.
How many endings are there?
At least 6?
The endings will scale off of how many main events you succeeded in and the selected RO's relationship towards you. That means if you have a high relationship with your RO but have done poorly with the main events, you can still achieve a good ending.
Are there any poly routes?
Not as of right now. The coding for poly relationships is a bit too complicated for me to do right now. This may change as I get more comfortable with it.
Does MC have to romance someone?
Yes, that's the point of the whole game/story.
What are the characters ethnicities? Are they Chinese?
The world of Nian is heavily inspired by China and the Tang Dynasty, so the characters would be Chinese, but I don't assign real ethnicities onto them.
This isn't historically accurate!
I know. That's why I said it's inspired by China, fantasy period C-Dramas, fantasy period pieces, and romance manhwa/manhua.
How does magic work in this world?
As of right now, I don't have a lore post about magic, so here's a quick breakdown.
Everyone can use magic. Some people have Magic Aptitude, which means they have more ability than most people. Magic is classified into Elemental Type and Class.
Will XYZ be in the story?
Maybe. This is a WIP so it's possible.
How are WLW/MLM/Queer relationships viewed/treated in the story?
They're fine. No one is homophobic.
How are women viewed/treated in the story?
Everything is mostly viewed about the same, as in it's pretty much equal for a majority of people. But a few things have lingered on from tradition (i.e boys inherit over girls, etc).
Help! I can't pronounce the names!
I provide helpful pronunciations for the characters' names on the Side Characters page. There will also be pronunciations listed in the stat page of the game.
How are the names written?
All names are written in the LastName FirstName format.
If I write something like "Consort Huo", it's the equivalent of "Mr Smith". For those who understand, the last names are monosyllabic while the first names are disyllabic.
Does MC have a set name?
MC has a set last name (Nan), but not a first name. You can name your MC whatever you'd like.
I encourage using a disyllabic name, for immersion and the fact that it would be the most "accurate". I provide 3 examples of disyllabic names in the game, but you can ultimately name your MC whatever you want!
Can you help me pick a name?
I certainly can! Just send me a private message (not an ask) with the name of your MC, and I'll find a name similar in meaning or pronunciation. Please be sure to tell me which you want, similar meaning or similar pronunciation.
Does MC have a set personality?
A bit, although it's more traits, as of right now. They will never want the throne, they are a good sibling to their siblings, they enjoy social events, and they are well-educated and a little bit naive from their position.
Does MC have a set appearance?
No. MC's appearance is up to you.
Can MC be trans?
I'm planning on it. There won't be any references made to a transition, though, and it won't affect anything besides the sex scenes. You'll have an option at the first sex scene to set what your MC has.
Will MC become the ruler? Can MC overthrow their father/brother? Can MC hurt *insert person here*?
No. Male MC is 4th in the line of succession and Female MC is 14th in the line of succession. MC loves their family and would do nothing to hurt them. MC will not perpetrate any kind of excessive violence against anyone.
Does MC have magic? Can MC do magic?
As mentioned before, everyone has magic. MC does not have Magic Aptitude, however, so their magic is on a normal level.

Peter Tork, Davy Jones, and Micky Dolenz with Ben Savage, Rider Strong, Jeff Sherman, Danielle Fishel, and Rhino managing director Harold Bronson on the set of the Boy Meets World episode “Rave On” (aired on November 17, 1995). Photos by ABC Photo Archives/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images, and unknown.
“‘I’ve sung Monkees songs all my life,’ quips Tork, 53, between chomps of a candy bar on the ‘Boy Meets World’ set in Hollywood. ‘I had almost forgotten how [to sing other songs]. I have never sung anything else in 30 years. In the shower, I sing nothing but Monkees songs. The same songs over and over. I sing all the parts. That’s all I ever sing.’
Well, not really. In fact, Tork released his own album this year, ‘Stranger Things Have Happened.’ ‘It’s kind of middle-of-the-road, up pop,’ he says. ‘Micky and [ex-Monkee] Mike Nesmith sing backup on a couple of songs. If it isn’t available in your local record store, you can get it by calling 1-800-Not-Ribs-0!’
In the ‘Rave On’ episode, Cory (Ben Savage) and Eric (Will Fredel) enlist the help of three of their parents’ friends (guess who?) after their plans to combine an underground party and a surprise wedding anniversary party backfire.
‘I was in the show last year playing the same character,’ says Tork, who plays Jedidiah, the father of Cory’s love interest, Topanga (Danielle Fishel). Dolenz also has previously been on the series as family friend Gordy.
‘My thing is I am, like, some guy who shows up [that] the parents had met 20 years ago,’ offers Jones, 49. ‘I sort of, like, house crash.’
The reason?
‘I’m here to protect you,’ he says wryly.
‘He’s the eldest, you see,’ pipes in Jones. ‘You probably figured that out.’
Yes, your birth dates were printed on the back of your first album, ‘The Monkees.’
‘They lied [about my age],’ Tork confesses. ‘They lied because they didn’t want anybody 24 [in the group].’
‘I didn’t realize that,’ says Jones, the youngest. ‘What’s your name again?’
‘George Harrison,’ Tork deadpans.
[...] The trio still seem to exude the goofy chemistry that endeared them to millions of teeny-boppers in 1966. Sitting in the empty bleacher area of the darkened sound stage, the group jokes and banters around. Though Tork has already chatted with the set visitor, he’s decided to sit in with Dolenz and Jones.
So what’s it like to be performing together and not playing the Monkees?
‘That’s all I have ever done in my life is to play a character,’ replies Dolenz, 50, who sports a tiny ponytail. ‘The Monkees was a character I played.’
‘No! No!,’ Tork retorts. ‘You were that character.’
Dolenz looks up at Tork. ‘Are you going to do this interview for me?,’ he says with mock disdain. ‘Thank you.’
‘I am here to keep the record straight,’ Tork says with a smile.
‘I always approached [the Monkees] as a part I was playing,’ Dolenz says. ‘I remember Bob Rafelson, the director and creator, talking about it and the original brief on my part was Jerry Lewis. They wanted a Jerry Lewis-type. They wanted a Huntz Hall-type. They wanted a Will Rogers-type.’
‘And,’ Jones interrupts, ‘a Peter Tork-type.’
‘You’ve got to remember, the reality was that the Monkees was not a band,’ Dolenz continues. ‘But a TV show about a band. We became a band in every sense of the word. But we do a lot of acting. Peter just did a thing on “Wings,” didn’t you?’
‘Yep,’ Tork replies. (Tork’s appearance as himself on ‘Wings’ airs Tuesday.)
‘I just did “The Love Bug” for a movie-of-the-week,’ Dolenz says. ‘I’m doing a series for USA called “Pacific Blue” where I play the mayor of Santa Monica. I’m also directing.’
Though Jones isn’t a big fan of sitcoms, doing ‘Boy Meets World’ is ‘a fabulous way of getting exposure’ for their upcoming 30th-anniversary tour.
‘What I find so incredible,’ Dolenz concludes, ‘is the entire project only lasted two years. I have had dinner parties that were longer than the original project. And here we are!’” - Los Angeles Times, November 12, 1995

“The networks and studio then (stupidly) told me the Monkees appearance was not be ‘an event’ for them unless I could get all four. Did I mention networks can be stupid? They ordered me to enlist Mike Nesmith, too. Micky had warned me this would never happen, but I valiantly tried; called Mike Nesmith at home. He listened to my pitch and, after a rather long moment of silence, in his slow Texan drawl, he flatly told me, ‘I'd really rather not.’ Micky explained that, for years, Mike was not very anxious to appear as a Monkee -- he'd moved on. [...]
Maybe a half-hour before our evening taping, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a tall, lanky fellow with dark glasses and big sideburns slip by me and into the dressing room area. Michael Nesmith had shown up! All four of the Monkees were here in the same place -- for the very first time in years and years. I could see them through the little window to the area, shaking hands, hugging, laughing. Unbelievable!
As a major Monkees nut from when the show originally aired on NBC, this was dreamlike. I couldn't figure it out. Mike told me there was no way he wanted any part of this. My friend, Harold Bronson, who co-founded and was running Rhino Records (and arguably the biggest Monkees fan in the world, next to me), explained to me that Rhino had recently re-released all the Monkees albums on CD and they had all gone multi platinum. Because the guys were all going to be gathered, he invited Mike down to take photos with Davy, Micky and Peter backstage on our set with their platinum records!
My boss, Michael Jacobs, found me gawking through the window, slapped my back and said, ‘Sherm? Go get him!’ He said that Mike Nesmith was physically here in this building and, as a producer, it was my duty to go get him to appear with the other guys. I explained, again, that Nesmith had turned us down. He repeated, ‘Get! Him!’ He literally pushed me through the door.
Sort of awestruck and scared at the same time, I paced up to the four guys. Micky saw me and said, ‘Hey Jeff, come meet Mike!’ I came over, shook his hand and introduced myself as the fellow who'd called him a couple of weeks ago. He stared at me a beat, then half nodded. Mike went back to talking to Micky and the guys. It was very warm between all of them. It was truly beautiful. I heard them talking about maybe going into a rehearsal hall together, ‘See what we sound like,’ Mike said.
My mouth dropped open. This was rock 'n roll history and I was standing right there witnessing it. All the guys were really into it, started making plans of when and where. I didn't want to interrupt this, sort of backed away. Turning, I saw my boss staring at me through the window, insistently pointing at Mike. I took a deep breath, walked back up. Mike slowly turned to me. I said something like, ‘So, Mike, you know we're shooting the show in a couple of minutes. Since you're here and since it would be such an incredible --’
‘I'd really rather not,’ he twanged. He stared me down, then returned to chatting with Davy, Micky and Peter about an out of the way rehearsal hall he knew about where no one would bother them. I backed out of the room, through the swinging door and Michael Jacobs said, ‘Well?!’ I explained that Nesmith did not want to be on our show. Michael explained that no one ever wants to do these things, but it was my job as a producer to get back in there and convince him. Two network people walked up and seconded that.
Fearing my job was on the line, I took a deep breath and went back in. Covering my abject fear and loathing with a nervous grin, I slowly walked back up to the guys who were all excitedly talking about meeting up and jamming. Micky, then Davy, then Peter saw me nearing again. I never got a word out. The last one to turn, very slowly and deliberately, was Mike Nesmith. Laser beams were shooting from his eyes through my soul. He slapped his knees, slowly stood WAY up and said one last time, definitively, slowly and with a deeper tone -- ‘I'd... really... rather... not.’ I think I maybe whimpered ‘'K,’ gave a wimpy finger salute and somehow escaped from the room.
Emerging again, my boss, the network folks and now our entire staff moved back from watching me through the portal. ‘Well!?’
‘He'd... really rather not,’ I sighed, and hurried off to look for something to drink and update my resume.
The rest of the night was dreamlike. The whole week was, in fact. It was electric rock 'n roll literally and emotionally in that t.v. studio. Great laughs, great energy. Everyone there knew this was a rare and special night. Even the moments with actor Dave Madden (Manager ‘Reuben Kincaid’ from The Partridge Family) were huge laughs. Everything was perfect.
Nesmith never did appear on the episode, but it was incredibly thrilling to see Micky, Davy and Peter perform live together. They sang live to playback tracks they'd recorded together earlier in the week -- and YES -- they really played and sang and REALLY PLAYED AND SANG amazingly at the session. I was there. What great musicians and vocalists they were together. What classic interplay and rhythm in their acting, as well! The episode was incredible and got huge, huge ratings. [...] I hope people will go back and watch the ‘Rave On!’ episode -- and think -- Mike Nesmith was just maybe 50 feet away!” - Art Brodsky, Huffington Post, March 4, 2012
