people Luci Butler turns three today so we must not forget to credit her mother (and best friend) in a world where it seems moms get no recognition for being superhuman.

user12 imagine using a 3 year olds bday to make some political womens movement statement. mom’s get plenty of recognition.
butlerfamupdates I actually applaud People Magazine for this. All day magazine’s have posted Austin’s cutest moments with Luci and talked about what a wonderful Dad he is - which no one would ever doubt to think he is - but Luci’s mom is very much present as well and deserves love too. Luci loves both her parents. It’s normal for a kid to have favorites, it doesn’t make the other parent ‘bad.’
ccgfan Y/N and Luci sharing their love for open water together and creating sea shell necklaces i cry
ccgfan1 You just know she’s the most supportive and loving mother! Austin and Luci are so lucky to have her!

my brain is so broken that I can read serious articles and discussions about why ethics are different for handling all kinds of situations with humans vs other animals as an adult with a degree and a job related to that and my first thought is still "... and that's why that 18-year-old's take on a mediocre soft seinen manga I saw online earlier is PATENTLY ABSURD"

______________________________________________________________
Second Attempt To Post Up Chapter 2
As I proof read and makes changes to Content #2. I was able to post it up. So, I'll do the same for Content #3-15. Because there are things to do in my schedule, so I could only proof read and makes changes to 1 or more contents. Not all of the contents.
I'll continue to proof read and makes changes to Content #3-15. Then, post those contents up on another day.
______________________________________________________________
Caught In 3 Stories
I got caught in 3 different stories make me wanted to make my situation lesser complicated. At the same time, before I could get half of 1 of the 3 stories across to the world. I'm already got argued as A Few Bad Eggs Ruin A Bunch of Eggs. In addition, I usually write down how I feel in my journal. I don't share my journal with people. Also, I would guard my journal, so no one could read it. In a way, my surrounding have the following belief: Lesser complaining. More training and discipline.
Looking back right, I sees that back then I didn't sees that I would talks about the things I wrote down in my journal. The argument is if I didn't writes it down, then I would have been living my life without looking back. Another argument is if I didn't writes it down, then probably there won't be so much conflicts in my life.
The following are the highlights of the 3 stories I got caught in:
[Story1 Begin]
I would argues my family sees that I'm serving the most student service positions and doing the most house chores is I'm asking for more services and works. So, I don't know if my parents intended to give me more works and discipline. Or, because I asked for more works and discipline. When I'm very upset about my parents, I would writes it down in my journal.
It is pros and cons to have parents that give me a lot of services and works. The pros is the services and works are a lot of works and discipline. But, it could be argued as I'm getting more privileges. The cons is I would argues that because they are my parents, they should help me out instead of creating more weights in my life. In addition, because I already have a lot of weights in my life. My parents creating more weights in my life. I would be crushed by all the weights in my life.
I would argues that without privileges no one would read my articles, so the pros outweighed the cons. Example: Filling out the paper works for my parents would argued as I have the privileges of having the responsibilities over my parents. Even though, filling out those paper works take time from my schedule.
I would argues that in my past I would endure the following: I did all of my community services and house chores. Also, doing some of the works for my parents. At the same time, I'm getting punishments from my parents. My reason for enduring my parents' punishing me is because of getting privileges in my life.
The argument is the enduring of my parents' punishments distinguished me from people who are getting along with their parents. Because of this argument, another person who been away from his or her parents would argued that I lack the understanding of not able to sees that person is missing out on not able to spend time with his or her parents.
Furthermore, this argument would continue by arguing that I would focus on the differences between getting punishments from my parents and people who parents are not around. Instead of I'm getting a lot more privileges than that person.
[Story1 End]
[Story2 Begin]
The argument is in Story1, I don't gives anyone a chance to help me. The argument in Story2 is because I got the most first places in the San Diego tournaments among the players who are in the same game rooms as me. Also, I won most of the time in the games. Mean I don't gives anyone a chance to win against me.
People foresees that I would argues that I'm only follows the requirement. Example: I would argues that I'm only following: My accumulation of 199 first places. Standardizing the events I'm in based on the number of first places I got. Also, the goals in my schedule.
Because of this foresight people would purposely creates conflicts to my schedule. Also, stop me from getting first places. So, I don't says that I'm only following the requirements. Example: Because winning (including getting first places in the tournaments) take more than following the requirement. So, it doesn't seem right for me to win all the time. At the same time, I would said that I'm only following the requirement.
[Story2 End]
[Story3 Begin]
Video games and Trading Card Game (TCG) & Collectible Card Game (CCG) are consider as play time and leisure activities. Education, career, and training are consider as discipline.
The argument is I'm doing so well on education, career, and training. So, I degenerated education, career, and training when I started playing video games and TCG & CCG.
I'm making the video game activities and TCG & CCG activities into my career.
The argument against me is there is no way out for me. If people wanted to give me a break by not seeing my life as #1 and #2. Then, I'm caught in the video games and TCG & CCG conspiracies. Example1: I chooses to play video games and TCG & CCG. Such as I wanted to be like the stories in those video games and TCG & CCG. Example2: I'm degenerating the video game industry and TCG & CCG industry, because I'm addicted to playing video games and TCG & CCG.
This argument would led to the following: 1. Video games and TCG & CCG is creating more arguments to life. Instead of it is my career. 2. I'm being blamed for the degeneration of the video game industry and TCG & CCG industry.
[Story3 End]
Life Without Journalism Argument: This argument is just live my life without journalism. Without journalism in my life mean living my life without looking back at my life. If I'm not looking back at my life. Then, I won't sees that during my past, my surrounding have the following belief: Lesser complains. More discipline and training.
Attack On Both Sides: Side1: Side1 would argues I don't get to chooses to cut down my family tree. People are glad to make me wanted to cut down my family tree. Side2: Side2 would argues my family tree would stop me from cutting down my family tree.
The argument against me is I don't have enough time to deals with Life Without Journalism Argument, Attacks On Both Sides, and A Few Bad Eggs Ruin a Bunch of Eggs. This mean I'm not going to have enough time to look into those 3 stories.
Like I wrote in Story3 highlight, I'm caught in the films, video games, and TCG & CCG conspiracies. 1. Video games and TCG & CCG is creating more arguments to life. Instead of it is my career. 2. I'm being blamed for the degeneration of the video game industry and TCG & CCG industry. Example1: I chooses to play video games and TCG & CCG. And, watch films. Such as I wanted to be like the stories in those films, video games, and TCG & CCG. Example2: I'm degenerating the film industry, video game industry, and TCG & CCG industry, because I'm addicted to playing video games and TCG & CCG. And, watching films.
These conspiracies would lead to I'm being caught in the conspiracies that my life is a story such as a story in a film, video game, or TCG & CCG. There are pros and cons being in a story. The following an example of the pros and cons: The pros is if a lot of people read the published story, then the protagonist is being recognize. The cons is the writer who wrote the story determines what happen to the protagonist. Example: The writer have control over the protagonist's life. If the writer and protagonist work together, the they could create the story together. Instead of trying to kill each other.
Caught In 1 Story Versus Caught Multiple Stories: If I got caught in the cons of 1 story, then the argument it is better than I'm being caught in the conspiracies that my life is the sum of many stories. Example: In Story1, I'm a humble servant. Also, generosity and gratitude is being practice in my surrounding. In Story2, I'm an undisputed title holder that doesn't give anyone a chance to win against me. Or, a chance to help me out. Story1 is a contradiction to Story2.
In conclusion, I don't have enough time to look into Life Without Journalism Argument, Attacks On Both Sides, A Few Bad Eggs Ruin a Bunch of Eggs, and caught in 3 stories. Example: Even though, I'm trying to look for a solution. But, the contradiction could happen to me. Instead of finding a solution, I'm creating more arguments.
In addition, because people would argues that I don't makes any sense or greatly degenerated myself. This confusion or degeneration would lead to people don't recognize me as the protagonists in the stories. Example: A person being recognize as the protagonist in the story bring fame and wealth to that person's life.
But, because I'm caught in the conspiracies that my life is the sum of the many stories. 1 story is already so much confusion and degeneration. Many stories would be overwhelming. This mean if I don't do anything about the sum of those stories, then the sum of those stories would destroy me.
So, I sees the following arguments: Life Without Journalism Argument, Attacks On Both Sides, A Few Bad Eggs Ruin a Bunch of Eggs, and caught in 3 stories. Also, I'm caught in the conspiracies that my life is the sum of many stories. As for realm traveling conflicts in my life, like I wrote in the introduction, Arowra have the power to change the outcome of realm traveler's story. As for DCSS (Database & Championship Series Standard), I have been developing DCSS starting on 2012.
In addition, like I wrote in the introduction, because of Sever the Bloodline. Hypocrisy and uncertainty. Making any kind of declaration is like self-degenerating (hurting oneself , contemplation of committing suicide). At the same time, Arowra: Spiral of Conspiracies require immediate action in order to make this concept into reality, because Arowra is a realm to rule over all the realms. So, the argument is stopping Arowra could also stop the hypocrisy and uncertainty. Also, if people take Arowra: Spiral of Conspiracies away from me, then I don't have to cut down my family tree. Because Arowra is still a concept that haven't made into reality, so it is still not too late to take Arowra away from me.
It come down to am I ready to use Arowra: Spiral of Conspiracies to deals with the realm traveling conflicts in my life. Or, go with that argument of letting someone take it away from me.

So, you have to stop messing around. Yes, Atla live action is not and will never be better than the original version but we have to stop spitting on it for that. Overall the series is very successful. I see some critics saying it's mediocre and that's blatantly bad faith. No, the actors don't play badly, quite the contrary. It's not the best acting in the world but they are still children who are doing very, very well and will continue to progress. They're not fucking disasters. The actors of Aang and Zuko are the best in my opinion. And if I still see someone criticizing the weight of the actresses for Azula and Mai... There are also critics who say the CCG is disgusting, uh sorry ? This is more of a bullshit, at this stage it's downright spitting. I've even seen people say that THE MOVIE WAS BETTER ?! WTF ?! A few days ago everyone was spitting on the movie, and now under the pretext of downgrading the series, we're going to say that it wasn't so bad now ?! And even downright better than this new version ?! But damn, this is mind-blowing bullshit. Also, if I hear one more complaint that it's bad that the original creators didn't have much input into the live action project... FUCK YOU ! It's going to get into people's heads when Atla would never have become the good animated series it is today if it had only been them in charge ?! Katara would have simply been Aang's girl ! (What she ironically becomes in the sequel in comics under their sole supervision !) Toph would not have existed, nor would Zuko's exceptional arc. Misery, the best episodes of the series do not come from them ! Stop glorifying them ! They had the basic idea, but it was developed by a whole competent team behind it ! When they are the only ones in charge it sucks ! The Atla comics are an abysmal disaster in terms of character characterization and many other things. What they did to Zuko, Katara and Aang is unforgivable. The Legend of Korra is filled with the same flaws as the original series but much worse and triple ! And they want to make an animated movie about the adult gaang and another animation series with the avatar as an earthbender ?! But stop the bloody massacre ! Also... do I need to remind you that your creators, darling, that you are complaining about are not on the adaptation project, therefore complaining about the future fidelity quality of the product... THEY VALIDATE THE MOVIE ! THIS MOVIE HATED BY EVERYONE, THEY SUPERVISED AND APPROVED IT, YOU FOOL ! It's not surprising that others are more respectful of the universe than the creators themselves who have always wiped their ass with the original series through the adaptation of the movie, the comics and the legend of Korra ! Damn people can be so stupid...

Naruto Fic Recs
Since so many people liked my svsss rec list I thought I might do one for Naruto, warning all of these are either sasuke-kakashi centric so if you don't like that I recommend you don't read this! Anywho!
heroes come back Summary: Sasuke Uchiha is reborn as Timothy Drake
With Friends Like These Summary:
“I’m from the future—seven years in the future.” There’s a long, drawn-out silence. Itachi’s face is unreadable as he stares at Sasuke. “You’re what?” he finally says.
Sasuke travels back in time to stop the war. He infiltrates the Akatsuki in order to kill them - he doesn't expect to take a page out of Naruto's book and befriend them instead.
CCG Public Enemy No 1 Summary: Kakashi had a single red-and-black eye for more than half his life. Now, he has two.
twist 'verse Summary: Team Seven, in all its iterations, gets fucked over by whatever cosmic powers yet again and time travels/reincarnates/possesses bodies of the Founders. (Note: This is a series not a fic, but I thoroughly enjoyed it so it's making the list anyway.)
Frayed Truths 'verse Summary:
"What are you saying?" Kakashi demands, distress turning his tone harsh. "That you don't know when he'll wake up?" "I'm saying I don't know if he will."
When Itachi uses the Tsukuyomi on his brother that day in the hallway, he miscalculates. In the aftermath, Sakura and Naruto struggle with what it means to be a team and Kakashi sits by the bedside of a boy that might never wake.
A single misstep, and everything changes.
[NOW UNDERGOING EDITING]
(Note: This is also a series and not a fic, I'm sorry about that, but once again it's very good. The series itself has no summary so I went with the summary for the first fic in the series.)
How a Young Heart Really Feels Summary: It was absolutely the most devastating thing to ever happen to him in his six years of life. He knew Uchiha were supposed to love too deeply, but this was ridiculous! He was just a kid, for god's sake! He didn't want to be in love!
Or: Sasuke gets a crush and it messes with best laid plans.
Misrecognition Summary: During the fight on top of the hospital after Itachi's tsukuyomi Sasuke sees Naruto's rasengan and decides that was the final nail to hammer home his weakness, how he would never be able to become stronger than his brother. He was a loser, destined to fail, destined to die. So he might as well die now.
Sasuke tries to use Naruto's rasengan as a means to an end. Friend-killer Kakashi watches this.
Restore My Faith Summary: Sasuke was consumed with hatred because his family was killed. His entire family, not a single person left alive except him and their killer. It was enough to drive someone insane, or into the arms of the first maniac promising him enough power for revenge.
Instead Sasuke finds a little baby Uchiha on a meaningless mission and leaves Konoha for a vastly different reason. (Note: Very literally my favorite fic in the world, of you were to read any fic on this list I beg that it is this one.)
Never Trust Your Rinnegan (Tales of Sasuke's Travels) Summary: "Sasuke isn't in the Elemental Nations.
None of the Elemental Nations have buildings quite like this, people quite like this. Sure, Ame is weird, but this is really pushing it. These people don't have Chakra signatures, they shouldn’t be alive.
The Rinnegan has never teleported him somewhere he hasn’t already gone."
OR: Sasuke is transported to the world of BNHA and has a very hard time trying to get out.
Road to Nowhere Summary: Hitoshi knows there's something wrong with himself before he's even old enough to have a sense of self. He looks at his reflection and knows that the infant looking back at him isn't what he should be seeing.
His dreams are a maelstrom of grief and fear, his mind overwhelmed with a lifetime of emotions his brain isn't developed enough to comprehend. There's an ingrained instinct blaring that everything is wrong wrong wrong.
--
In which Hatake Kakashi is reincarnated as Shinsou Hitoshi, and he wants nothing to do with this world's so-called "heroes."
A step to the left (and right off the cliff) Summary: Team Seven starts off on a different foot and Sasuke's canonical journey to get stronger goes off the rails a bit. It all works out though. Probably.

LIKE BRO HE CANT BE ALL SOFT HE HAS GOT TO LIKE TO INFLICT PAIN AND I WOULD GLADLY RECEIVE
💌 what is winter listening to? : 28 reasons by seulgi
Tumblr media
dedication : to my sleep demon, you can fuck off now. ive written your shit down.
Tumblr media
           Another day at KCCG, Korea Commission of Counter Ghoul, the second branch of CCG that originated from Japan. An everyday reminder when Jimin stepped into the KCCG building. The logos of CCG and KCCG were designated next to each other looking very alike except that KCCG has an additional letter ‘K’ before the CCG. The emblems were blueish black in colour and an animal akin to a bird spreading its wings was embedded at the centre of the emblem respectively, and a few deep curves and details to make it look elegant.
           “Jimin hyung.” A voice called.
           He turned to the voice. “Jungkook.” His soulmate.
           “Why the hard face?”
           “The only thing that is hard right now is my dick, so if you don’t have any plans to help soften it down, then I suggest you go back to your office before I fuck you right here.”
            “Vulgar,” the younger hissed. “I’m your superior. How dare you speak to me that way.”
            “An inferior in bed,” Jimin mumbled nonchalantly.
            “I’ll give away your mission in 1st ward to Investigator Rosè,” Jungkook retorted.
            “I needn’t worry because she’s not fit for the mission, and you need Joon’s approval for that. 1st ward has always been assigned to me.” He said calmly.
            “Namjoon hyung gives me green light for everything, so–”
            “Gyu.” Your voice interrupted their conversation. It wasn’t too loud but given that their sense of hearing was very acute, even your softest voice could reach their ears.
            You entered the building and with delighted steps, you skipped your way towards Kim Mingyu, Ghoul Investigator of Special Class. Jimin’s gaze followed your figure until you reached the male investigator. Jungkook didn’t miss the hard gaze but instead of asking what was wrong with Jimin, he found himself staring hard at your figure too or the situation.
            Since when were you close with Mingyu?
            “Good morning, lotus.” Mingyu greeted you with a soft, subtle kiss on the crown of your head.
            “Morning,” you smiled, handing over a coffee to him. “Where’s Minghao?”
            “Late as usual,” he sighed before taking a sip of the coffee, thanking you after. “Overslept maybe.”
            “It’s fine, we can wait.” Sipping a bit of your coffee, you fished out a small device from your pocket. The device was a sphere in shape and floating. You let it float in the air as pressed the button on the device.
            “You got a new SfereX?” Mingyu asked.
            “Yes. The old one was destroyed during the mission at the 2nd ward.” You sighed.
            As soon as you pressed the button, a hologram flashed in front of you. The technology inside the device resembled a laptop or tablet but an even more compact version. As the system loaded you to your home page, you pressed the reminder calendar.
            “Today we have a training session with Minghao…” You spread your fingers as the hologram zoomed onto the details of the session. “Focusing on hand-to-hand combat.”
            Mingyu nodded. “He needs that very much.”
            You slapped his shoulder lightly. “Give him a little credit. He’s not that bad. He’s just so used to the use of weapons.”
            Mingyu was about to speak up but as his eyes narrowed a bit over your shoulder, he noticed two figures approaching.
            Two figures that, if possible, he always wanted to avoid.
            “Ah, good morning, Director Jeon, Investigator Park.”
            That caught you off guard.
            Upon hearing your childhood friend’s name, your body went rigid, and your mind flew back to when you discovered that half of your files in the star folder were gone after you returned from Investigator Min’s office. You don’t have proof that it was Jimin that deleted your files. Of course, you could walk into the security room and check the CCTVs, but you went against that idea because as much as you wanted to fight for your justice, you knew Jimin would do anything and everything to deny your claim.
            Quickly turning around, you bowed. “Good morning.”
Jimin zeroed his attention on you as he spoke. “Training session with me and Investigator Jeon at combat room 2. In 5 minutes.”
            “But I have–”
            ��Are you defying your superior, (Y/N)?”
            Your eyes flickered at the sudden use of authority. “No, that’s not it…”
            Mingyu saw the hesitation in your eyes as you struggled to find the right word. Maybe it was due to the difference in rank and the intimidation Jimin held because you were not one to hesitate. “Park, she has a scheduled training session with me.” He emphasised the word ‘scheduled’. “Please be considerate and respectful of others’ time.”
            “Investigator Kim,” Jimin turned his body to fully face him. His face was devoid of emotions. “Before anything, (Y/N) is under me. Whatever changes made are effective immediately regardless of your opinion.”
            “It doesn’t change the fact that you are disturbing my line of work by messing up my schedule, Investigator Park.” Mingyu refused to back away.
            “That’s enough.” Jungkook finally voiced out.
            He has been standing next to Jimin all while his gaze was on you. Breaking his intense gaze, he continued. “I instigated the training session. I believe you won’t have any problem with me doing so, right, Investigator Kim?”
            A muscle in his jaw twitched. “If you’re trying to use your rank and force me to submission, I’d suggest you stop, Director Jeon.”
            “Kim Mingyu.” You could see Jimin’s jaw tightened as soon as he let out the stern call.
            You really didn’t want to ruin anyone else’s morning especially yours. “Gyu, it’s fine. We can reschedule.” You told him.
            “It’s not fine. This doesn’t only affect me,” His eyes that were on the two guys in front of him were now on you. A wave of pity – or maybe concern – was seen. “But it also affects you.”
            You knew what his next sentence would be.
            “(Y/N), how–” How long are you going to tolerate being stepped on by these bunch of fucked up higher-ups?
            And you didn’t have it in you to respond to that question yet.
            “The training will take 2 hours at most. I’ll be available by noon and you’re free at that hour too.” You pinched the hologram after checking the reminder calendar and clicked the button to switch off the device.
            “Moreover, your student has yet to arrive, no?” Jungkook directed his question to Mingyu. “Technically, I can take up (Y/N)’s schedule at this very moment because her scheduled training appears to be delayed. It gives literally anyone the right to take it up.”
            Jungkook raised a hand to cover his lips albeit not fully, he let Mingyu see the condescending smirk through the gaps between his fingers. “Teach your student to respect other people’s time before teaching us. That’s very hypocrite of you.”
            He didn’t wait for Mingyu to even breathe another word as he turned on his heels and made his way to the assigned combat room.
            “Let’s go.” Jimin called on you.
            Keeping your head low, you responded. “Yes, Investigator Park.”
Tumblr media
           You entered the combat room after having your clothes changed. It seemed like you blended in quite well with the room. Your combat attire was white overall as well as the room, both wall and floor. The combat room is empty but not fully empty as there were flower beds. White flowers. You have no idea why it was the way it was.
           As you made your way to a bench, you unwrapped the bandage you had brought over from your locker in the changing room to wrap your hands. The clicking sounds of a door closing reached your ears. Jungkook stepped into the combat room. Spotting you on the bench, he smiled as he approached you.
            “Quite a scene just now, don’t you think, (Y/N)?” He sat next to you, mirroring your action with a bandage of his own. “A bit too early to my taste, I’d say. But very refreshing.”
           Of course, it’s refreshing for you.
           You practically wrecked your brain trying to find the appropriate answer to give out in response. Giving up, you could only muster up a tight smile and continued bandaging your hands. You subtly glanced at his hands as he finished wrapping up his hand.
            Well, that’s quick.
            After glancing for a bit too long, you noticed his bandage matched his outfit. Black. You looked at your unfinished wrapping.
            White.
            Just as you were about to resume your wrapping, Jungkook’s hands came into the frame. He gently pulled your hand so that it was closer to him and easier for him to wrap up for you.
            “Uh, I can…” You pulled your hand away slowly. “Do it myself.”
            He seemed to frown upon your action as he pulled your hand back to him and resumed. “I know.”
            Jungkook sure was efficient and quick in his action. He finished wrapping up your both hands in under one minute. All while holding your hand as if you would break if he put even the littlest pressure. You had the time to study his face.
            There were significant features of his that remained the same or maybe matured a bit, but it didn’t stop you from going back to the old days you shared with Jungkook. Back then when you were first brought to the headquarter of the Jeon clan, you knew of no one. Not even the person that brought you there. At that time, Jungkook was the only child you saw. If only calling him a child was right. Given that he acted and behaved nothing like a child.
            Face hard, back straight, and hands balled into fists on both his lap.
            And quiet.
            You had not heard his voice until your third week there.
            “That brings back memory, huh?” Jungkook tilted his head as he stared at you. “Your eyes are showing a hint of nostalgia.”
            The closed proximity and intense staring.
            The mysterious coffee eyes. His eyes were still as dark and deep as you first saw. Unlike you, Jungkook's eyes were unreadable. As if his eyes were disconnected from the brain and lived on their own.
            He was defective.
            But you learned to understand Jungkook by studying his body language instead. That, too, wasn’t as easy. Jungkook mastered the art of concealment. He hated being vulnerable.
            Or he forced himself to hate vulnerability.
            The Kishou and Jeon have something in common.
            Their ruthlessness was known to the world.
            Growing up as a Jeon meant survival. Only the best made it until the end. Jungkook was a direct descendant of the Jeon clan and the future that soon would lead and continue the Jeon clan. He was trained to be the best. As for an indirect descendant like you, your training was much more lenient given the fact that you were a Kishou.
            Jungkook was trained mentally, spiritually, and physically. Trained to be zero.
            Zero weakness.
            But after the death of the Jeon clan's former leader, you could see Jungkook finally breathed.
            You turned away to break eye contact. “Yeah…”
            He hummed before he brought one of your hands to his lips, kissing your bandaged knuckles. “It’s not a good thing, sweetheart.”
            You stared at him in shock.
            “You’re a Jeon.” All said with a smile and gentle thumb brushing.
            I’m a Kishou.
            Kishou.
            Another sound of the door clicking open resonated around the room, making you immediately pull back your hand. Jimin walked into the room with graceful steps. He was wearing the same combat attire as Jungkook. Black. Your hands were itching to grab your SfereX and snap a picture of Jimin really quick.
            Jimin was ethereal. You would never be tired of telling that to yourself.
            In terms of physique, Jimin’s build is lean with enough muscle in the right place. The difference in body proportion between Jimin and Jungkook was visibly huge, but their strength was at the same level. Maybe even a level greater than Jungkook.
           “We’ll do hand-to-hand combat today.” Jimin announced.
           “Sounds fun to me.” Jungkook grinned.
           “Let’s start with one on one before the other joins in for 2 against 1, shall we?” Jimin suggested.
           You agreed pliantly with a soft yes.
           Even if you had disagreed as if Jimin would listen to you.
           “One on one with me, (Y/N),” he declared as he strode to the centre of the room. “Are you ready?”
            The only word you’ve said for the past few minutes. Yes.
            Still having the gentleman in him, Jimin urged you to do the first take before he pitched in. The two of you got into position with hands up into fists just above chin height and feet opened shoulder width apart.
            Jungkook’s remark heralded the start of the fight. “Start.”
            You didn’t start with your fist instead your knee found its way to kick Jimin’s face. But of course, it took more than a simple movement to injure The Park Jimin. He easily dodged your attack. In return, Jimin charged with his fist, targeting your face which you managed to avoid.
            The attack and defence continued until Jungkook announced his presence in the fight. You were against two of your superiors. Two of them hated losing. You didn’t dare to make any first move as soon as Jungkook joined in, so instead, you waited for them to charge any attack.
            Jungkook seemed to see right through you as he advanced first. He fired a punch but instead of dodging it, you blocked it. His firing was too quick that you didn’t have the time to avoid it.
            But it was a grave mistake.
            Jungkook smirked before he continued firing punches to your defence. It was only a matter of time before one of his punches would reach your face. He cornered you to the wall at each punch. You took the opportunity to use the wall to send Jungkook flying back with your feet pushing on his chest and your back on the wall as support.
            You didn’t realise how small your intake of oxygen was until you found yourself gasping for air after throwing Jungkook off. It happened all too fast, but you were sent flying to the other corner of the room.
            By Jimin.
            “Don’t let your guard down, (Y/N).” Jimin reprimanded.
            You were quick to get back on your two feet. “I wasn’t–”
            Had you not focused on your left, you would’ve been crushed. You made a beeline towards another safe spot before Jungkook practically crushed the wall.
            His form of payback was crazy.
            “Yes, she wasn’t, Jimin,” he pushed back his hair, showcasing his defined jawline. “Or else she would’ve been crushed like this wall.”
            You believed in your hand-to-hand combat skills.
            But you don’t believe them in hand-to-hand combats.
Tumblr media
           Jimin’s grip on your hair was unforgiving. As if his life depended on the tightness of the tug. Your eyes were filled with tears from the burn on your scalp. He trapped your body as he sat on your back, one hand tugging on your hair and the other resting on his crouched knee.
           “Weak as ever (Y/N).”
           You grunted in response.
           “That’s why you’re always under me and forever will.” Jimin enunciated each word clearly, drilling them into your brain. “So, remember your priorities: me before anyone and anything.”
           “That is enough, Jimin.” Jungkook stood in front of you with hands in his pocket, looking down at you. The stinging pain on your scalp affected your ability to open both eyes fully, only one of your eyes was opened as you tried to look the superior in front of you.
           “You’re getting way too soft on her, Kook,” Jimin pouted. “That’s why she fails as a Jeon.”
           “I’m a Kishou.” You hissed.
           A new bruising and unforgiving pain started on your scalp and the cause was Jungkook. His movement was so fast that you didn’t get to comprehend the moment he crouched down and replace Jimin’s hand with his own.
           “Kishou clan ended long time ago, sweetheart. Stop being delusional and be grateful the Jeon clan even took you in. You’re a Jeon, so live up to it. Do not sully the good name.”
           He let go of your hair and stood to his full height. Jimin’s hand found its way around your burning scalp yet again but instead of inflicting more pain, he surprisingly massaged your scalp and even stroked your hair.
           The door flew open, gracing the room with the presence of another two Special Class investigators and another one Associate: Min Yoongi, Kim Mingyu, and Kim Seokjin.
           Your eyes were quick to fall on your partner’s figure.
           “Gyu,” you whispered softly with utmost gratefulness.
           But your gratefulness was short-lived as the bruising grip on your hair returned and stronger. Jimin pushed your face to meet with the floor.
           “Jimin!” It was Jin’s voice.
           “Shh, Jin hyung,” this time it was Yoongi’s voice. “They are in their training session. We mustn’t disturb them.” You can hear the smirk in his voice, honestly.
           “The training session ended 2 minutes ago. Release her, Park.” Mingyu said.
           You were sure Jimin was trying to plant your face into the ground. Might as well your whole body. The pressure he put was enough to make you imagine so. Whimpers fell from your mouth involuntarily as you felt the pain was too overbearing that it had already exceeded your limit.
           Jimin let go of your hair harshly and the weight on your back disappeared. You stayed in your position for a few seconds and only raised your head when you heard another clicking sound of a door which indicated that Jimin has left the combat room.
            Jungkook was still standing in front of you. When you tried to stand up, he quickly got to your level and tried to offer a hand.
           Keyword: tried.
           “Ah, Jungkook.” Yoongi tutted. “You can go freshen up. Mingyu will take care of her.”
           Before Yoongi even finished his sentences, your attention was stolen when you heard footsteps approaching you. The next thing you knew, Mingyu was already next to you, helping you to get off the ground.
           “I believe it’s appropriate for me to assist my student until the end.” Jungkook said.
            He glared at the hands that were touching you, and with a deep and dangerous voice, he enjoined. “Get your hands off her, Kim.”      
           But Mingyu was unfazed.
           “It is, Director Jeon,” Yoongi agreed. “But Director Kim urgently asked for your presence. 2nd ward has been attacked by a group of unknown ghouls. You might want to resolve that quickly.”
           The Investigator of Special Class strode towards the changing room with Jin hot on his trail.
           “Rather than to waste your time on…” Yoongi moved his cold gaze to you. “Her.”
           Ouch.
           Jungkook stayed on his spot for a good few seconds before he abruptly stood up and headed towards the changing room with big steps. Yoongi has a victorious smirk on his face as he casually followed Jungkook into the changing room, followed by Jin who sent you a look of pity.
            You wished for the day to end already.
           Before you have the chance to even be sucked into your hole of darkness and self-loathing, a hand reached out to stroke your head. It was Mingyu. He helped you to get into the correct posture and placed you in his arms. You didn’t put up any fights to protect your pride – not like there was any left. It was trampled on by your two superiors – and rested your head on his chest.
           Before the darkness consumed you wholly, you heard a familiar voice calling for you.
          It wasn’t Mingyu’s.
           “(Y/N)!”
           It was Minghao’s.
           And then all your sense shut off.

maybe(?) a bit of an odd question, but I'm interested in your thoughts.
Do you think some of the new characters in TG:re should've been introduced in Tokyo Ghoul?
FUCK okay this is something SOOOO interesting to me. I think because of the limits and restrictions Sui Ishida faced with publishing Tokyo Ghoul (and his overall unhappiness with the series), I think it's safe to say that the characters were introduced at the right times. Of course I would have loved to see more of the CCG folks in training or have a little bit of a hint to the Quinx Squad in the first series (even just as little background characters would have been cute). However, I think this is actually something I'm content with in the series? I can sit here all day and be like "oh this would have been better in xyz place" or "oh I think x character should have done this different" but at the end of the day, I can't change the source material. Foreshadowing is difficult to do and it would be hard to incorporate a lot of the :re characters in a way that doesn't feel forced in the main series. Like drawing a character in great detail in the background would take away from the main scene. Ofc there's silly low quality ways you can do it but no one would understand it until :re came out and it would take up space for something more impactful in the series. Anyways, this is just my thoughts on it, obviously if you have a different opinion feel free to share. I'd love to see other perspectives :3

Same anon for the Gojo post - loved your reply and mostly agree. However, although I see his motivations similarly + think it will come to bite him v soon, I kinda sympathise with him as I feel it's the role his strength has pushed him into. Like yes, he has people that care for him but the power difference is so extreme that he has to stand alone even when he's literally melting his brain to keep up. imo Gege might want to show that that much power in one person is inherently not a good thing
Tumblr media
Continuing the discussion from [this post] and [this response], I agree anon Gojo is in the end a product of the system that he hates so much. Perhaps that's why Gojo's attempt at rebellion against sorcerer society is so flawed, because in the end he is still the Golden Child of that same society. In traditional Golden Child fashion there's basically no thought paid to the hardships in Gojo's life and he's not really seen as a person outside of his ability as a sorcerer.
Gojo's entire character is a meditation on having unlimited strength, and the limitations that come with it. He even realizes pretty early that all the strength in the world doesn't mean he's always capable of doing whatever he wants, and that he'll be able to save everyone he wants to save. My friend justapanda made a meta on how Gojo's actually one of the most limited characters in the series because of the nature of his strengths. I can list off the similiarities between Sukuna and Gojo all day, but unlike Sukuna, Gojo for the most part uses his strength for the masses and sorcerer society as a whole.
It seems only natural that not only would having the strength to fight a small nation's army single handedly alienate you from your much weaker peers, but also carrying sorcerer society on your back and working alone would only further serve to distance you from others.
Tumblr media
Not only does Gojo continually work alone, none of his fellow teachers or sorcerers have any idea who he is - like as a person. There's an extra in volume ten where a lot of the main cast is interviewed about Gojo and they all just say some variation of "he's the strongest".
Tumblr media
None of them say anything personal. On top of that we know for a fact several of the people who work with Gojo, including Nanami say that they can't stand him as a person but respect him as a sorcerer.
There's a pretty simliar character in Tokyo Ghoul who occupies the same spot that Gojo does as "The Strongest". An unnatural talent that puts all the other investigators / fighters in the CCG to shame and someone so unshakably strong he has no compettitors and seems untouchable in battle.
On top of that he seems to have no life / role / friends outside of his job. There's even a similiar scene wher eone character tries to interview everyone else to learn more about him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In a twist it's revealed that despite Arima being the strongest character in the story, with a genius and talent that many people envied was someone with little to no agency over their own life. They're a natural born fighter yes, but in this case that's literal. He's a born and bred child soldier and that's the only thing he was ever allowed to be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's a character born to fight and kill ghouls, and nothing else. Even though he's perfect at what he does, he hates his life, he hates that he was born only to kill and he wants out of it. To the point where he turns against the society that made him just like Gojo did, even if he's one of the most respected members of that same society.
Tumblr media
However, even if Arima wants to destroy the society he's a part of he's too big of a cog in that machine that he can't really see himself living in the new world. As one of the old guard when he destroys the old society he plans on dying along with it, and that's exactly what he does. He's too much of a product of the society he came from to exist without it, or eevn imagine anything better, the most he can do is destroy the old and hope someone else will make something new.
Arima and Gojo are characters who are similiarly people with talent that would supposedly allow them to do anything in life, but are actually rather limited in their agency. They're both stuck in the role that they were born in.
I'd say the difference is that Arima is much more self aware than Gojo will ever be. Gojo knows that he's lonely, he knows that there's something wrong with the society around him and he wants to fix it, but I think despite the fact that he did come to the realization that strength won't save everyone he still uses strength as his go-to problem solver.
His solution to the child soldiers that Jujutsu Society makes and sacrifices is to just... make stronger child soldiers. He says his goal is to destroy things and shake them up but he's not really out for destruction he's just making a regime change and putting his people in charge instead. Gojo knows Jujutsu Society is wrong, but he can't quite decode the "might makes right" that's been programmed into his head.
Having put that much power and responsibility on Gojo's shoulders may have just permanently rewired his brain to where he can't see himself existing outside of his role or any life outside of one as the strongest sorcerer like Arima's own tragic existence. Arima at least is self-aware enough to know that he doesn't want this life though, whereas Gojo is still charging ahead being Gojo.
You mention Gojo is literally melting his brain fighting alone, and just this latest chapter Kashimo even says something along the lines of even if it saves Gojo's life or beats Sukuna don't inrevene in the fight because this is Gojo's fight. Gojo's pride at being the strongest, is apparently more important than his life or the grand scheme of things.
Tumblr media
You know priorities, but it does make sense this is tragically the only thing Gojo has really to base his identity around. Arima can't imagine a life in the better world he wants to create, whereas Gojo only know sorcerer society values of strength.
It makes me wonder if we're going to get a similiar ending to Gojo as we are to Arima. The tragic nature of being the strongest and his role as the golden boy of sorcerery society has just made it so that he can't really imagine a better world than the one we have right now, even if he wants to change or shake up sorcer society he's just too entrneched in it.
Arima ends his life by committing suicide to help bring down the CCG, whereas I don't see Gojo committing suicide but it's possible that the same way Arima died to bring down the old society with him Gojo might similiarly die alongside Sukuna. As a way to show that the old way of being a sorcerer and prioritizing strength over everything else is dying as an ideal and Gojo's students are going to rise up and replace him with a new way of doing things.
Which would make Gojo's character tragic in the same way Arima's is. Someone who genuinely wants better for the world but is unable to grow and adapt in time and therefore can't survive in the new world they want to create.

coffee cart girl (pt6)
words: 3,354 ship: austin x female reader summary: you’re the coffee runner on the set of Elvis. Coffee deliveries run pretty easy, until Austin accidently spills coffee on you. notes: you can find previous parts under this tag :)  warnings: none tag list: under the cut! if your username does not link up as requested, please refer to the link mentioned above. 
With much more banter, Austin talks you into taking the bed.
It’s just for one night and he’s insisting on being a gentleman so fine, no need to twist your arm or anything. You end up slipping your jeans off once you’re under the covers, sinking into the mattress and pulling the pillow close that smells too much like Austin’s shampoo. The last thing you expect is to sleep so deeply, but you do—a combination of it being late when you finally close your eyes and feeling so utterly comfortable.
A trailer mattress should not feel so nice but…maybe it has everything to do with who’s it is.
You’re a pretty heavy sleeper, barely feeling someone come into the room and tug the covers up and over your shoulder. The next time you breach consciousness, there’s a weight on the bed. A soft sigh leaves your lips, you don’t open your eyes, barely hovering on being awake. Lying on your stomach, you gently push your lips and nose further into the pillow, not wanting to get up.
You don’t know the time but your body tells you it’s early.
A small waking up sound leaves your throat as you feel a hand in your hair, running through the strands. It’s gentle, fingers working along your scalp and sometimes resting along your shoulders. You slowly wake up to the touch, eyes blinking up as Austin comes into view. His hair is tousled bedhead but it, of course, works for him—making your stomach clench. Far too early for this.
He smiles, thumb grazing your cheek. “Mornin’.”
You clear your throat, turning a little to give him a smile back. “Hi.”
“How’d you sleep?”
“Pretty amazing, actually,” You lick your lips, voice so groggy, “Was the couch terrible?”
He shakes his head, moving to gently tap on the table next to the bed where a cup of coffee is. “It’s early, you got time to lay here for a bit if you want.”
“That’s supposed to be my job.” You say fondly, picking up the coffee. He remembered—cream and sugar. Taking a long sip, you feel like it’s slowly but surely bringing you to life.
“I knew you were goin’ to say that; figure we could have one mornin’ of role reversal.”
Your lips twitch as you take another sip. Reaching for your phone, you blink at the time—it is early but…maybe that’s better than oversleeping. While Austin’s trailer is tucked towards the back for more privacy, it doesn’t mean that someone can’t catch you together.
You chew on your lower lip, stomach swirling with unposed questions that you didn’t get to yesterday because it just hadn’t been the right time. You can feel Austin’s eyes on you, his hand moving through your hair again,
“What’s goin’ on?” He asks and while you shake your head, before you can say anything he adds, “I know it’s somethin’, the skin between your eyebrows kinda scrunches up when you got somethin’ on your mind.”
Unfair really, how well you’re beginning to read one another. Or maybe it’s just him, Austin’s ability to see you with your defenses down.
“It…does not.” You mumble, staring down into your coffee.
To which Austin chuckles lightly but says nothing, running his thumb over the patch of skin instead that he was referring to. You’re just…not sure if it’s even worth bringing up. There’s still so much filming yet to do for Elvis and who knows what you’ll be by then. You’re obviously hoping for something long term and yet…you’re already kind of preparing yourself for the inevitable hurt you’ll feel if this doesn’t develop into anything more once the comfort of sets and trailers are gone.
You’re not trying to speak to Austin or even to yourself in terms of what this relationship might be capable of but…you also know it doesn’t hurt to be realistic.
Once filming is over, once this movie is out, things will change and you just feel like you’re recognizing what solid ground might look like right now. It can shift in an instant.
“I guess I just…I’ve been thinking about seeing you outside of being on set.” And you know it kinda goes against the whole ‘keeping things under wraps’, you do want this to be a private thing but…it’d be nice to go on a date that wasn’t tucked away in his trailer.
“You mean you want to go out.” It’s not a question.
You swallow, chewing on the inside of your cheek. You feel Austin’s fingers move under your chin, tipping it up so that you’re looking at him and –right, no running away.
“Would that be so bad?” You ask, “Going out? Like…on an actual date?”
“No of course not,” Austin replies quickly, his eyebrows drawing together.
“I mean, you want to be seen with me right?” You joke though you can’t help the insecurity coming off you in waves. Again, the choice to keep this thing between the two of you was a mutual decision. Especially with it being so new and taking things in small steps, together.
But there’s also a lot of uncertainty for you, self-doubt, given who Austin is and who you are. You know he doesn’t seem to care about all that, he’s not that type of guy but…your thoughts run rampant, a lot of conflicting wants and needs. You’re not saying that all this needs to be figured out right now but it doesn’t hurt to be up front about what you’re thinking, right?
“Y/N,” Austin says your name in such a way that it almost makes it seem a bit like conclusion-jumping. It’s not so much that he doesn’t think what you’re bringing up is important but you both know that he’d never make you feel like that, like he’d be embarrassed to be seen with you.
You let out a long breath that flutters your lips, “I know,” A soft laugh, running your hand over your face. “Way too much before morning coffee.”
Austin clasps your chin between his fingers, leaning down to steal a kiss. You melt into it, eyes fluttering closed as you memorize the pressure of his mouth on yours.
“Don’t work yourself up,” He teases as he pulls away, your lips brushing, “You’re gonna get premature wrinkles.”
A soft laugh empties through your nose before you nod, watching him stand up off the bed. Taking another sip of coffee and leaning back against the pillows, you figure you got a bit more time between the covers before you have to get up and plunge yourself into reality.
--
“That is just like somethin’ for a guy to say.”
Your eyebrows crinkle together as you lean back against the counter in one of the hair and makeup trailers that Jillian works in, taking another sip of coffee. Austin got you a simple black sweater from wardrobe that he swears no one will miss and you’re wearing a pair of leggings you had in your car—brand new outfit. The morning coffee deliveries are over and done with and you’re just giving your friend some details about the past few days.
Apparently something from the conversation this morning is rubbing her the wrong way.
“I thought you liked Austin,” You lick your lips, trying not to feel more confused than you already do. You almost miss the days where all you had to worry about was if Sal was going to be in a bad mood when you showed up on set.
Almost.
“I do,” Jillian says quickly, picking up makeup brushes and taking them to the sink you’re standing by to clean them. “I just think he’s kinda givin’ you the runaround. I mean—” She sighs, trying to figure out how best to word what she wants to say, “I think he’s right in the sense that you can’t work yourself up about the future, taking it day by day doesn’t suck either,” She grins at you, “The man is a whole snack.”
You laugh lightly but don’t disagree, shaking your head as your cheeks tint pink.
“But he has to also expect that you’d want something a bit more than sneakin’ around the trailers on set. Even if ya’ll decided to keep your relationship private, that doesn’t mean you have to hide in the shadows all the time.”
You curl your hair around your ear—she does have a point. Maybe it’s about finding a balance or figuring out what that balance is. Or maybe not overthinking it to the point where it makes you feel kinda crazy.
“Why is it that you don’t have a boyfriend again?” You ask only being slightly cheeky.
She chuckles, rinsing her brushes out in the sink before tapping the excess water out. “Funny. I’m way too much for any guy to handle, you know that.” Jillian then turns towards you, resting her one hand on her hip, “Hey, look—don’t let anyone tell you what you should be doin’ in this relationship. Not me, not Austin—you gotta listen to yourself.”
You take a breath, nodding your head. Sometimes it’s hard to circle back to that, to trust yourself that you know what’s best for you, even if it’s not always clear.
“You’re happy right?” She asks, “That’s really all that matters.”
A smile instantly forms on your face because, “Yeah, he makes me happy.” That you know for sure and Jillian’s right, that’s what matters.
--
Gathering your things at the end of the night, you wave to a few people who walk by you that work in hair and makeup. Slipping on your jean jacket, you wonder if you can stop by Austin’s trailer to at least say goodnight—you’re looking forward to heading back to your place and crawling onto the couch with a carton of ice cream. Turning down a row of trailers, you see him exiting his.
A soft smile spreads its way across your lips, his hair hanging a bit wildly over his forehead as he puts his phone into his back pocket. He’s got on a simple black pair of jeans, a latte-colored t-shirt and a sherpa lined blue jean jacket. The combination alone makes you want to bury your face into his neck, press kisses along his pulse point.
“Hey stranger.”
Austin looks up, his eyes landing on you. He smiles, walking to meet you halfway. You guys are alone in the space, no other crew working or lingering. He reaches out, tugging on the one side of your jean jacket to bring you close,
“Busy tonight?”
A soft laugh leaves your lips, tilting your head back to look at him. “Maybe—might have a date with my couch.”
Austin purses his lips, letting out a breath of air, “I dunno if I can compete with that.” You shake your head playfully, smiling. “But I was thinkin’…if we both wanted to get into our cars and just so happen to meet at this taco place I saw…”
You raise your eyebrows, trying to follow his line of thought. Your arms loosely wrap around his waist on the one side, slipping underneath his sherpa jacket, “Whoa wait a minute…meet up at the same place? Is this a spy-mystery, like—would we be eating at the same table or opposite sides of the restaurant?”
He crinkles his nose, “Cute.”
You grin—clearly you’re hilarious. “Are you askin’ me out on a date?”
Austin hums, moving one of his hands to cup the side of your head. His fingers run through your strands a moment, “Maybe—would I have better luck with your couch?” You poke his side for that one, making him jerk to the right before chuckling, “I’ve been to this place before, they’re pretty lowkey.”
You nod, excitement building up in your belly and fluttering up into your chest as you think about having a real date outside of the set. That regardless of the haphazard way you tried to talk to him this morning about your concerns, he listened. You press up on your toes and kiss him, something quick but soft,
“Thank you.” You whisper against his lips.
Austin nods, running his thumb along your jawline before you both pull back from one another.
First official date on the books.
--
There has to be at least ten emotions that you work through on your way to the restaurant, back and forth, one way and back again. This relationship that you’re working on together constantly has you standing on what feels like the edge of a shoreline, feelings capable of washing up and crashing into you over and over again. It’s not bad, just different—new.
You’re still in that frame of mind that when you show up at the taco place, you half expect Austin not to end up joining you. But he pulls up a few moments later, putting a baseball cap on even though it’s the middle of the night. The parking lot is decently empty, this little taco place a white building with bright bulbs on the outside that spell out Taquería. There are some outside tables to which Austin motions to—from the quick run of the website you looked over on your way to your car on set, you order from a counter and then take a seat.
You’re not so sure about sitting outside though…isn’t that more out in the open for people to see? Austin seems unbothered however—you let him take the lead in terms of what he’s comfortable with. He knows how to handle more of his life in the public eye. It feels safe here; you wonder if that’s a common mistake.
“I’ll grab the order.” He offers as you pause by one of the outside tables, so you detail out exactly what you want and he smiles before making his way inside.
Taking a seat on one side of the bench, you let out a soft breath as you set your bag down beside you. This is kind of hard for you to really wrap your head around, the fact that you’re out with Austin at this taco place. A few other people show up, on and off, some getting orders to go while others sit out and inside. None of them pay any attention to him or even seem to notice so…maybe you overthought all this.
Let yourself worry over nothing.
Austin brings out a tray of food a few minutes later, setting it down in the middle of the table. His long legs climb over the bench, sitting down. “Got what you asked for and a few other tacos to try—this place has really great guac, which I take very seriously.”
You laugh lightly, “Okay,” Chewing on your lower lip, you grab a taco and take a bite, humming at the fresh lime and pickled onion on chorizo. So good. You both take a few minutes to eat, enjoying one another’s company in shared silence and food. You feel Austin’s legs stretch out underneath the table, absently hooking your ankles together.
You hum, leaning your legs against his, the weight and warmth of his skin felt through the fabric of your jeans.
“Do you always go out incognito?” You ask curiously, motioning with one hand to the ballcap.
Austin smiles a little, finishing his last bite of a taco. He runs a napkin over his mouth, “Just force of habit.” Makes sense gives who he’s dated in the past and other projects he’s worked on; paps get tips and just show up. You’ve already seen candids of Austin out and about on your explore page on Instagram (the algorithm just loves putting those images in your direction, along with photoshoots he’s done too).
You let out a breath, taking another taco to eat. You can’t imagine how much more of the world is going to open up for him once this movie is done and out.
You watch him for a few moments, licking sour cream off the corner of your lip, “You’re not really on social media a lot, right?”
Austin crinkles his nose and you smirk, that alone should be an answer enough, “No—I mean, I have an Instagram but it’s mostly my agent’s idea.” He leans back a little, putting trash onto the tray, “My ex used to post pictures all the time, which didn’t bother me—I’d just rather keep things to myself.”
You smile a little and nod. His ex, you assume he means Vanessa, liked to share him with the world, share their relationship, their closeness, their adventures—you can totally understand that. But you also see where he’s coming from too; keeping as much as he can about his relationship private because so much of his life is already under a microscope.
“So what you’re saying is…you don’t wanna share me with anyone.”
Austin smiles, standing up from the table to take the tray to the trash. He leans over and steals a kiss, peppering one or two afterwards to make you laugh. “No, I don’t.”
Heat sits low in your belly as you watch him throw things away—you wouldn’t want to share Austin with anyone either.
Once he comes back to the table, you slowly take the script you’ve been working on out of your bag. It takes Austin a moment to realize what you’re doing, raising his eyebrows in your direction as he uncaps his water bottle from dinner and takes a sip.
“You lettin’ me read it?”
Groaning, you can’t quite let go of the papers…even when Austin tries to take it from you. “I dunno, I guess.”
“How bad can it be?” He asks to which you shake your head.
“Don’t say that!” You laugh, your cheeks tinting pink before finally letting it go, “God, it could be awful and then what?”
He shakes his head, amused. He flips through it before setting it down. “I doubt it’s awful, for one. Can I write on it? Leave notes?”
You nod, swallowing down a bout of nerves, “You have to promise you’ll be honest. Like…if you don’t think somethin’ works, just tell me. Or if I have a flat character—whatever, I’d rather get the honest feedback.”
“I’ll be as brutally honest as your cat,” He jokes, remembering you mentioned that the first time when you began talking about your script. Austin holds your gaze a moment, sensing you freaking out about this. He reaches over and rests his hand over yours to get it to stop tapping the table,
“I know what it’s like to want to do somethin’ well.” He squeezes your fingers, “I already know it’s gonna be good because you’re passionate about it—trust me, that’s half the battle.”
And while your stomach is in knots to get his feedback, you believe him. If you get it back and there’s a hundred things to change, then you will…you’ll keep moving forward, because you love writing and want it to be the best possible version of itself.
Getting up from the table, you cross through the parking lot to get to your respective cars. Pausing once you reach yours, you turn to lean against the driver’s side door, smiling up at him.
“Thanks for this.”
“I know it probably wasn’t exactly what you had in mind.”
You shake your head, reaching for the cap to take it off his. Austin’s hair spills forward a little in wild curls—you can’t resist running your fingers through them. “It’s exactly what I wanted.”
And you mean that—it might not have been some big fancy night out but you don’t care. You just wanted to be able to grab food with him and prove you could do it outside the trailers, outside your small bubble of being on set.
Austin leans forward, smiling a little against your lips before kissing you as you haphazardly place the cap back on his head. “See you tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow.” You agree, kissing back.
—you do not notice the sound of a camera shutter in the distance.

💥🥊BIG CHANGES COMING TO BOXERBUN’S FIGHT CLUB‼️
I’m introducing a new concept for the club :) the illustration portion will now become ☆trading cards☆ I’m a big fan of TCG/CCG designs and have incorporated them into my art in numerous occasions (the Pokémon trainer card prints, my business cards, etc) and I thought it would be cool to do it for patreon!
I’ve got concepts of the design for the card with the monthly theme names and number in the series! Cards come in 4 types: Fighter, Spell, Trap, and Health cards that would depend on the chosen theme each month! The cards will all be vertical, 4x6” with rounded corners.
Also important!!! I’m switching the Welterweight and Heavyweight rewards!! Heavyweight Boxers will still receive both the sticker and TCG print! Welterweight Boxers will receive the TCG print only! I’ll be increasing the number of Welterweight Boxer spots as well!
I’ll also be either adding a commission tier to my patreon or adding commission listings to the shop section of my patreon (gotta test it out lol)! I don’t offer personal commissions regularly and I figured it be easier for me to offer them if I set it up on here instead. I’ll be adding this after I finish the current batch of Holiday commissions I received.
Lastly I will be discontinuing the monthly patreon tutorial part of the Featherweight tier. I won’t be deleting any of the old posts, instead for that tier I’ll be sharing the monthly art as a hi-res file for printing and will format it to be downloaded as a phone wallpaper. If I have a technique I wanna show or an artist tip I want to share, I’ll still post it but it will be more occasional. I think I’ll post a poll or ask for things you guys would like me to cover art-wise.
Super grateful to everyone and as always, thank you for your continued support!

Friends to Lovers Tournament: Round 2, Side B, Match 7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
propaganda under the cut!
Hidekane:
"Submission 1 Let me tell you, when I say they should have been canon, they should have been canon! Let's start from the beginning, shall we? (Major spoilers for the whole series lmao)
Hide and Kaneki met as children, around the ages of 7-10. Kaneki has always been a big bookworm while Hide has always been a big extrovert. Unbeknown to anyone yet, Hide had recently lost his father and was just adopted and was having a hard time adjusting and fitting in at this new school despite his cheerful personality. He kinda just walked up to Kaneki and asked to be his friend and he said yes.
They grew up together, Hide being Kaneki's only salvation in the world as he lost his mother and was stuck in a neglectful, nearly abusive situation living with his aunt. They usually just talked about stupid stuff, but Hide's friendship meant everything to Kaneki. Eventually, they began attending the same university, Kamii. Kaneki took literature while Hide studied foreign languages, majoring in English. They were only in their first year when Kaneki was involved in an accident. In this world, creatures known as ghouls exist among humans, look and act just like them, but they eat human flesh. It's the only thing their bodies can digest, everything else tastes disgusting and makes them sick.
Kaneki went out with a girl, but found out she was actually a ghoul when she tried to eat him. He ran away into a construction zone where steel beams fell on the girl and he passed out. He was rushed to the hospital and needed a kidney transplant, but the hospital had none and so they used the girl's, or so the doctor said. In reality, the doctor transplanted the girl's kakuho, an organ unique to ghouls, into him. Slowly, Kaneki began to notice changes to his body. Food tasted gross and people started to sound appetizing (this all sounds off topic but trust me it's necessary to understand the depths of Kaneki and Hide's relationship).
While dealing with this revalation, Kaneki skipped out on quite a few days of class. Once he retuned, Hide immediately hugged him, saying that he's been lonely and that rabbits die of loneliness. Later in the day, Hide is attacked by a ghoul and knocked unconscious while Kaneki tries to fight the ghoul off. Kaneki is very weak at this point and can't do much, but tries to defend his friend until the bitter end. When it really looks like Hide is about to die and be eaten, Kaneki is able to unleash his kagune (a hunting limb/organ thing ghouls use to fight) to fight off the ghoul and save Hide. The two of them are saved and cared for, and Kaneki talks to another ghoul about how he's no longer human in the same room Hide is sleeping in but little does he know that Hide is actually awake.
They started drifting away because of this, with Kaneki wanting to keep Hide out of danger. At one point, Kaneki is kidnapped and goes missing and so Hide spends his time looking for him, tailing shady people, and joining the CCG (Comission of Counter Ghoul, aka the ghoul cops) as an intern to look for files on him. Eventually a few months later, they find each other again. Kaneki has changed a lot, having been tortured and been through a lot of other stuff. The CCG is on a mission called the Owl Execution Operation to locate and kill an extremely powerful ghoul known as the Owl with Kaneki fighting on the side of the ghouls and Hide (technically) with the CCG. Kaneki is beginning to lose his mind while struggling to regenerate a severe wound when Hide shows up. Kaneki freaks out because he doesn't want Hide to know that he's a ghoul, but Hide just pats him on the shoulder and says ""I knew all along man!"" There's a very strong CCG fighter blocking the only exit to the area and Kaneki needs to be at full strength to have a chance at winning so Hide tells Kaneki to eat him. Kaneki gives Hide one hell of a kiss, eating his lips and part of his cheek and neck.
Flash forward three/four years later, Kaneki had amnesia but regained his memories at this point. Kaneki is fighting an extremely strong adversary and is losing horribly. He is about to drown when Hide appears in his dreams. They talk about the situation, joking around a bit too. Kaneki cries, saying how much he misses him, with Hide responding ""what are you, a rabbit?"" Hide convinces Kaneki to keep fighting and not to throw his life away, saying ""it may not be stylish, but live."
Meanwhile, the real Hide has dedicated his life to finding help for Kaneki these last few years. After some really big stuff that I can't even begin to explain happens, Hide comes out from the shadows and takes the lead in helping Kaneki out of this shitshow of a situation. When one person asks ""why go this far for Ken Kaneki?"", Hide simply responds ""Because I love him.""
Submission 2
They're lifelong friends. Kaneki has a bad family history and Hide looks like a sunflower and has the personality of a golden retriever. When Kaneki gets turned into a ghoul, Hide figures it out pretty much immediately and doesn't say anything, because he's waiting for Kaneki to feel comfortable enough to confess. Even as Kaneki drifts away, Hide gets more and more involved in the world of ghouls so he can continue looking after him. At the end of the first series, Kaneki ends up starved for human flesh and on the brink of being captured. Hide, who has joined the enemy side because it's the only way to stay close, finds him in the sewers and offers himself to be eaten. Fade to black.
In the second series, when Kaneki regains his memories, he wants to die in style, like he thinks Hide did, protecting the people he loves. His hallucinations of Hide talk him out of this. He gets ghoul-married to another ghoul by leaving non-fatal bites on each other. This is relevant because Hide isn't dead; just heavily scarred (his jaw and throat are just gone, like a makeout session gone very badly), and he's been going around in disguise as a scarecrow for the past several years, manipulating things so that Kaneki will be as safe as possible.
Percabeth:
Submission 1
they are the cutest thing ever with 5 books of slow burn
Submission 2
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THEM?? THEY ARE THE BEST OTP! THEY START OFF WITH UNCERTAINTIES BUT ANNABETH CHOOSES TO BE HIS FRIEND, HER FIRST INDEPENDENT STEP TO NOT CONSIDER THE OLYMPIAN'S WISHES WHEN MAKING CHOICES. SHE IGNORED HER MOM'S OPINION GUYS, THAT IS BIG! AND HE DOESNT REALLY HAVE FRIENDS UNTIL THE SUMMER HE TURNS 13 AND SHE IS ONE OF THEM. SHE AND HIM ARE ALWAYS BY EACHOTHER'S SIDES (METAPHORICALLY AT LEAST). THEY WORK TOGETHER ON QUESTS SOO WELL BECAUSE THEY KNOW EACH OTHER THAT WELL. AND SHE KISSED THEM DURING THE LABYRINTH QUEST AND HE KINDA IGNORED IT FOR LIKE A YEAR. AND SHE WAS HIS ANCHOR TO THE MORTAL WORLD. AND HE TOLD HER ABOUT HIS ACHILLES HEEL. AND SHE BACKS HIM UP ALL THE TIME. AND IT WAS THE GREATEST UNDERWATER KISS OF ALL TIME. AND WHEN HE WENT MISSING SHE DID NOT SLEEP. AND SHE WAS ALL HE REMEMBERED WHEN HERA TRIED HER SHENANIGANS. AND THEY FELL TOGETHER. AND THEY ARE EACH OTHERS BEST FRIENDS (sorry grover, but you get it) AND I LOVE THEM TOGETHER SO MUCH. THEY EMAILED EACH OTHER AT 13 BECAUSE CELL PHONES WERE A BIG N O! AND HE KEPT A PICTURE OF HER IN HIS BINDER. AND SHE WANTS TO BUILD SOMETHING PERMANENT WITH HIM.
