BEST FRIEND VICTON A⇴Z HEADCANON ⇴ Do Hanse

A ⇴ ATTENTION

He simply likes to make sure that you’re alright more than anything else, Hanse wouldn’t exactly like to think of himself as paying attention, more that he just cares and wants to make sure that you’re doing fine.

B ⇴ BICKER

Like any pair of best friends, the two of you definitely have your moments when you bicker, usually when you think that you’re both right. You liked to try and prove to Hanse that he was in the wrong, but he thought that you were wrong too and so he’d try and talk over you, getting louder and louder at each other.

C ⇴ COMFORT

Whenever he’s cheering you up, Hanse will always try his best to be positive and try and find the good in things. He’s never down and gloomy as he worries that it’ll only make you feel worse, instead he’s optimistic in trying to come up with some solutions that will hopefully be able to help you out.

D ⇴ DISAGREEMENTS

If something doesn’t get agreed upon quickly, that’s usually when an argument tends to occur between the two of you. Hanse tends to want you to make your mind up quite a lot, his patience doesn’t always extend for as long as it could. He doesn’t like to be the one to decide, so when he’s waiting for you to decide, he wants you to make up your mind pretty quickly and stop him standing around waiting.

E ⇴ EARLY YEARS

There were plenty of conversations when the two of you first met, you found yourselves talking about a whole world of things which quickly led you to start learning plenty of things about one another. You tried your best to remember the things that you learnt about each other mostly so that you could impress the other person when you were able to recall a piece of information that they had told you.

F ⇴ FAMILY

Hanse’s family treated you incredibly well, mainly because they were constantly hearing good things about you from Hanse and knowing that you were taking care of him. He told them all of the good things that you did for him and all of the funny stories that you had from your friendship which often tickled his family too. Hearing so much left them as huge fans of yours, especially as Hanse was your biggest fan too.

G ⇴ GETTING TOGETHER

Whatever the two of you want to do when you hang out, Hanse will make sure that you do it. He doesn’t care how hectic it is, who might be around, or how careful he’s got to be about his condition, if there’s something that you want to do or somewhere that you want to go, he pulls through every time.

H ⇴ HABITS

The two of you had a habit of knowing exactly when the other person was lying to you, you knew each other far too well for the other to try and convince you that they were feeling alright, or perhaps that they weren’t the one that was responsible for a prank, when you definitely knew otherwise.

I ⇴ INSIDE JOKES

Most of your inside jokes were used as blackmail, you loved trying to get your own way by threatening to share an embarrassing story or too that you had about Hanse. If Hanse wanted to try and embarrass you in front of the boys, you’d only have to mention one of your stories for him to quickly go quiet again.

J ⇴ JEALOUSY

It’s an obvious sign whenever Hanse get jealous that he goes very quiet and observes a lot of what’s going on rather than saying anything and getting involved in conversation. If someone is making him jealous, he’ll watch them closely and wait until he can catch them out by saying something or do something that will send a clear message that they’re not your best friend, and that he is in fact your best friend.

K ⇴ KICKS

Hanse got a kick out of making you cringe, usually using aegyo to try and embarrass you and leave you squirming as you watched him. He knows just like the boys it’s something that you hate to see him doing, and so he uses that against you whenever he can as he knows it’s a guarantee that you’ll react to him.

L ⇴ LOVE

He loved how well the two of you knew each other, which ultimately made being friends together one of the easiest jobs in the world. You knew what each other liked and disliked, how they’d react to things, and how they’d behave in certain situations so the two of you were always prepared. You could probably write books on each other with how well you knew one another, even the finest of details too.

M ⇴ MEETING

The two of you first met when you were working at the coffee shop just beside the company building. There had been a few conversations between you and Hanse when he stopped by, but eventually he decided to ask you for your number and see if you wanted to hang out properly sometime with him.

N ⇴ NONSENSE

He completely let go when he was around you, it was one of Hanse’s favourite things about being around you, how easy it was for him to just relax and go about his day without a single care in the world.

O ⇴ OBSESSION

Hanse was obsessed with how close the two of you were, everyone knew that when you were together you were pretty inseparable, if one of you wasn’t around, it was always asked whereabouts you were.

P ⇴ PRECIOUS MOMENTS

The times that meant the most to Hanse were the times when he could just be himself around you, Hanse loved that he never had to be an idol or follow certain rules when he was around you. Especially when his schedule had been particularly busy, just feeling human around you again was a huge deal to him.

Q ⇴ QUESTIONS

It took a lot for Hanse to ever really ask you outright for help, and so when he did, you knew just how much he meant it and how desperate he was for you to step in and let him rely on you for a little while.

R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS

Together you had planned a tattoo that you wanted to get for your friendship, it was just a case of deciding when you were going to get it. You’d spent many nights together designing the perfect thing that would be representative of your friendship and the various things that you’d done together over the years.

S ⇴ SUPPORT

There was always an extra spring in Hanse’s step on stage whenever he knew that you were in the crowd and watching him, his motivation skyrocketing whenever he saw you there. He loved performing in front of the group’s fans but seeing such a familiar face in the crowd gave him an extra reason to go for it.

T ⇴ TRIPS

Whenever he went out on the road, Hanse loved to try and bring you along with him and the group. He loved being able to take you around the world and have experiences that no one else would be able to give you.

U ⇴ ULTIMATE

There was no one else for Hanse, he knew that he had hit the jackpot being able to be the one to call you his best friend.

V ⇴ VISITS

He stops by your home quite a lot, especially when he’s driving past. Even if all he can say is hello, Hanse enjoys being able to see you in person and see how you are rather than just judging from a text.

W ⇴ WISDOM

One of the things that Hanse tries to do with his advice is be organised so that he can share his thoughts logically with you.

X ⇴ XXXX

Whilst the two of you weren’t massively affectionate with one another, you had your moments when you were feeling clingy and wanting attention, deciding to poke and annoy the other person as much as possible.

Y ⇴ YOU

You were his number one, there was no one that was higher up for him than you.

Z ⇴ ZZZ

Quite often Hanse will stay at your place if you plan on spending the evening together, with Hanse sharing with Subin too it’s a lot easier for you both to get some space and not interrupt any of the others too.

This Beautiful Boy

fluff

You sat on the table by the window, a book open in front of you, a tea half drunk, the jar holding flowers pushes carefully to the far corner of the table, so that you didn’t knock it over. The cafe was quiet, nearly empty and the sun was shining outside, a contrast to your mood so early on a Monday morning.

“Excuse me,” a voice broke you out of your thoughts and you looked up, “Could I sit? All the other tables are full.”

This beautiful boy standing in front of you, with his unruly mop of brown hair flopping in his face, an easy smile and emerald green eyes that seemed to twinkle, grimaced at his own lie and went to turn to walk away when you responded to his question.

“Sure.” Your voice was soft and kind, your smile catching him off guard and you moved the book slightly, so that you could pull your tea closer and leave him some more space on the table. He carefully moved the jar of flowers further into the middle of the table before settling into the seat across from you, placing his coffee, black, onto the table gently.

“Black coffee? Please tell me there’s sugar in there and I didn’t just let a heathen sit with me.” You were teasing him, and your voice was so soft that he almost didn’t hear you .

“Sorry. Heathen here.” He shrugged and pointed to himself, causing you to playfully cringe and the conversation flowed from there.

The way he thought of things differently to how you and your friends did and the way he threw his head back when he laughed and how he didn’t seem to care what the people around them thought just made you swoon, and you stayed there, talking for hours and hours about everything and nothing, some things important and other things completely and utterly pointless.

The day passed by in a blur of conversations and sweat tea and black coffee, and eventually the manager of the cafe had to inform the couple that it was time to leave and wished them a good evening. So, they gathered their items and set off down the street, still chatting about something, something that caused you to laugh more than you thought acceptable and in a way that had him in awe of you for what felt like the millionth time that day.

Don’t Leave Me | Do Hanse

pairing | boyfriend!do hanse x suicidal!f reader

genre/cw | suicide attempt, self harm, self hate, crying, blood, hurt comfort, mention of sex, mild language

wc | 1.2k

notes | if you are feeling suicidal, please talk to someone. taking your own life isn’t the answer, I promise you. this story is in no way glorying self hate and self harm, it’s basically only for hurt comfort, which I love writing. please find help, love you!

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Hated. Unloved. Ugly. Unworthy. Useless. Repulsing. Unwanted. These were all accurate descriptions of how Y/n felt. Of course, none of them were true, but some people in her life, especially her ex boyfriend, tricked her into believing the lies.

For two years, after Y/n and Doheung’s breakup, Y/n was in a dark place. And the bigger problem was, she didn’t want to get out of it. But then, in her senior year of high school, she met Hanse. He was a light in her life, and helped her realize the truth. And recently, he had convinced her to move in with him. They loved each other and wouldn't have it any other way. Although, Hanse was an idol, which made their relationship difficult at times, but it was worth it to them.

Y/n sat on her and Hanse's shared bed and wrote down her thoughts, as faint music played from her iPhone and rain drops raced down the window.

Soon enough, VICTON's Stupid O'Clock began to play. And it was a song Hanse wrote for Y/n after their 'first time'. She made him horny like crazy and he had to write about it. Of course ALICE and the members didn't know it was for her. They didn't even know she existed.

Y/n smiled as Hanse's part began to play.

Even if it's not my style

I can accommodate your Fantasy

So I make you crazy

This is my daily

Baby right, you come to me

I could burn myself everyday, Maybe

It will get hotter

When I splash

Till the break of dawn

You're gonna be obsessed

Every night, I'll be you, you'll be me

Then after burning in the dark again

You make me get up

And wake everyone up at the blissful dawn

At the speed determined by instinct

Fill your night with me

Even after hearing the song one thousand times, it still made her feel things.

The next song that played was a piano piece without lyrics. She didn't even know the title of it, but it did have a sad, depressing sound. It caused all of these thoughts and memories to return. She subconsciously began looking for something sharp, but stopped herself.

"What the hell am I doing," she asked herself, looking down at her shaking hands.

Her anxiety began to consume her as she paced back and forth.

"Please come home Hanse, I need you," she whisper cried to herself.

She then fell to her knees and covered her face with her hands, trying to suppress her screams. This wasn't her first anxiety attack. In fact, the last one was a few months ago, and it ended up in her harming herself. From that day on, Hanse watched her like she was an infant. But today he had a meeting. It was important, and he couldn't stay home if he wanted to.

The room felt as if it was darkening to Y/n. And as much as she tried to stop herself, there was always the "What if death is the quickest way out?". She began searching for a sharp thing and remembered that she had put a letter opener in the kitchen drawer. She rushed down the stairs and ignored the sound of a car pulling into the driveway.

Hanse was home.

She dove into the drawer with her hands and her eyes lit up when she found the wooden handle letter opener. She took a deep breath before slicing her wrist, causing a dangerously large amount of blood flow out of it and onto the white tiled kitchen floor. She stared at it with a bittersweet smile before getting dizzy and daunting from blood loss.

Hanse stepped in through the door and was unaware of the situation, as she has fallen behind the kitchen counter, which was out of view from where he stood.

"Baby I'm home!" he announced, excited to see his girlfriend. He waited to be embraced and kissed by her, but she never came. He assumed she was busy with something at the moment.

He walked up the stairs and searched the whole second floor. Not in the bathroom, closet, studio, or bedroom. He then got slightly panicked because her phone was in the bedroom, and she was never far from her phone. Not on purpose.

"Y/n!" he ran down the stairs and into the kitchen when he gasped at the sight before him. "Y/n!"

He ran and knelt down beside her critical state. He shuttered at all of the dark red blood splattered on the floor. He immediately put pressure on her wrist and called emergency services. He then held her close to him and rocked her back and forth as he waited for the ambulance.

"Don't go... Don't go," he cried, tears freely flowing as he kissed her lips. "If you leave, I won't know what to do with my life," he said with a broken voice.

Sirens sounded in the distance.

~~~~~

Hanse paced back and forth in front of the emergency room. He was alerted when there was a door opening and closing in the room she was in.

"Is Y/n okay?" Hanse asked the nurse who was helping the emergency surgeon, hoping for a positive answer.

The nurse smiled at him. "Your girlfriend is a lucky one. She barely survived the massive amount of blood loss, but she will live. You may see her if you'd like," he answered.

"Thank you," he sighed, a huge smile of relief on his face.

"You should be thanking Dr. Min. If it wasn't for her, your girlfriend may have not survived."

Hanse bowed before walking into the room. Everyone left except for a female nurse who was removing an IV from Y/n's arm. She was still sleeping due to the anesthetic she had been given before the surgery.

"I'll leave you two alone," the nurse bowed before exiting the room.

Hanse went to the side of her bed and held her hand tightly, as if she would disappear if he let go. He leaned up and planted a kiss on her cheek and stroked her hair with his other hand.

"Why would you ever want to leave me?"

~~~~~

It had been three days since Y/n had the surgery, she still hadn't awakened. But still, Hanse waited.

Y/n opened her eyes and stretched like she had been asleep for years, but it was only three days. She looked over to see Hanse had fallen asleep while holding her hand.

"Hanse," she cooed, shaking his hand a little.

He opened his eyes and smiled at the sight of her being concious.

"You're awake," he smiled, resting his head on her lap. "Why did you do it?"

"I just wanted the pain to go away Hannie, I'm sorry," she teared up.

"No don't be sorry," he pouted, standing up from his seat to climb into the bed next to her and hug her. "I never should have left you."

"You had to Baby. It's not your fault. And I promise I won't do it again."

"Okay. I'm holding you to that promise," he replied, smiling into her neck. "I love you. Don't ever leave me, okay?"

"Okay Love."

Saturday 6:05 pm | Study Session pt. 1

Jung Subin x Bestfriend!reader

It was a warm spring day, the sun hit you with its days pushing a yawn out of you. You and your best friend spent time in the library studying for you midterm exams. Which meant you were already exhausted.

“Y/n~” he whined

“Yes?” You asked as you flipped the page of your textbook. “I don’t want to study, my brain hurts,”

“Unfortunately you’re paying for an education, so if you fail this midterm then it’ll become harder to pass the class. Then that can lead to failing the class,”

Subin sighed, he just did not have the brain capacity to study at that moment. All he wanted to do was play Mario Kart with his best friend(and long-time crush) but all you wanted to do was study.

Subin can’t blame you though, both of you were studying medicine; in hopes that you can become a surgeon and Subin just wanted to be a pediatric. The fact that both of you were studying medicine made it even more important for the two of you to pass your exams.

After thirty minutes of you studying and Subin day-dreaming you decided maybe it was for the best to stop. If Subin was just not in the mindset to study you can’t do much about it. “Hey Subin, let’s go back to my place and play some video games,” Subin who had woken from his day dream smiled.

“Really?” you nodded then spoke, “Only if you promise to study with me throughout this week since our exam is Friday,”

“Yeah of course, I just don’t feel like I can concentrate today,” Subin said, packing his things. You gave him a hesitant look but decided to trust him. You started to pack your things while thinking to yourself how you really hope both of you can get through midterms to enjoy spring break fully.

Why was Hansel the meal of the witch?

This is a question I was aked recently, and I thought it would make a good subject for a post. "Why did the witch only try to fatten up and eat Hansel? Why didn't she imprison and fattened up Gretel too? Why did she choose to make Gretel her slave instead of Hansel?"

Which is actually a fascinating question. Now, I do not promise that there is some grand truth or secret meaning behind this. It is just a little detail and some technical workings of fairytales. But it is a point that many authors and rewriters have taken an interest upon, and that if a true well of reinterpretations.

So let's go... Why was Hansel the meal, and Gretel the slave?

If we go by the "canon" of the text (of course "canonical" fairytales do not exist, this is just an expression) - if we go by the Brothers Grimm's text, we... well we do not know. It is not specified anywhere why the witch decides to lock up and fatten up Hansel out of the siblings, and to not do the same thing for Gretel. There is no reason explicitely spelled out or given. Maybe she simply prefers the meat of boys over the one of girls? This absence of justification, and the apparent "randomness" of the choice opens a door for authors who would like to change things: for example in "A Tale Dark and Grimm" (the book, not the Netflix series), it is both Hansel and Gretel that are fattened up by the witch, and she only picks Hansel as the first one to be roasted. The Looney Tunes Hansel and Gretel also were both in the cooking pot of the witch Hazel...

The text only leaves implications for the reader. For example, the need for the witch to have a slave/assistant to help her with the chores is implied by the facts that she is 1) elderly 2) has a very bad sight and 3) walks with crutches (a very important point). So it is understandable she would require a slave to help her - but then why pick Gretel, and not Hansel? Again, the text does not answer. Many people like to portray Hansel as the oldest child of the duo, and Gretel as a younger sister - this is because Hansel seems to be the strongest, bravest and most intelligent one, as well as with how his name always comes first in the text, Gretel being after him. Maybe the witch chose to eat him first because he was precisely older, and thus there was a more developed body to eat? Even if the siblings are of the same age, we can always imagine the very old and present male/female dichotomy that claims that men's body are naturaly stronger, larger and meatier than women's, who have graceful, slender, lighter bodies. Maybe such a concept is at work, putting forward a mindset where a cannibal witch will always go for boys first as a main course, and girls next as an appetizer...

One possible reading of the story is that the witch only had enough place to lock up ONE child and thus had to make a choice. Maybe there wasn't enough room for two kids in her prison for future meals? This interpretation is supported by the ORIGINAL text of the Grimm's fairytale. In the first edition of the brothers Grimm's fairytales (provided by Jack Zipes), there is an explicit mention of the place Hansel is locked in: it isn't some sort of stable or cage as it would later be described, oh no! It is a chicken coop so small Hansel can BARELY MOVE. It is a really tiny prison, in which he barely fits. Of course, on a practical side, it can help with the whole fattening process since having a child eat rich meals without ever moving is certain to make him plump in no time (just look at these horrible industrial farms and how they lock up animals in tiny cages) ; but this detail actually explained why the witch only placed her efforts on one child, and not two: she obviously had only enough to place to lock up one kid, and had to deal with the other in a different way.

But even if we admit all those implications - that the elderly, handicaped witch needed a help, that she had only enough room to lock up one child, that maybe Hansel as an older boy makes a better meal than Gretel - there are still some strange and bizarre logical holes. For example, the witch beats up and starves and exhausts Gretel. This is the complete opposite of what she does to Hansel, who is pampered and fattened up - does this imply the witch maybe does NOT want to eat Gretel? Or does she really have only enough resources to fatten up one child, and can only afford making Gretel more edible once she is done with Hansel?

Again, mysteries upon mysteries. Fairytales are not created to work on practical details or actual psychological processes - they are stories relying on powerful visuals and ancient motifs and a dream-logic-structure. When we are told that the witch locks up Hansel to fatten him up and eat him, and that Gretel is becoming an abused slave, we just accept it, because it works on a set of powerful visuals, such as the malnurished slave sister cooking and feeding her imprisoned and soon-to-be-killed brother. The idea of the sister being reduced to a tool in the process of killing her own brother is a very powerful one, never explicitly stated, but still present and sometimes used by adaptations. There was this German Hansel and Gretel movie released in 2005 that explicitly played on this: the children were never told by the witch her intentions when she locked up Hansel, and for the first week or so of Gretel being a slave and Hansel fattened up, they were left in the dark concerning the real intentions of their mysterious jailers. This was a stark contrast with many Americanized adaptations that have the witch gloating and explaining her cannibalistic desires to her victims, and which opened the door for some interesting plot points - in this movie's case, Gretel being quite jealous and envious of Hansel's new life of feasting and being kindly treated by the witch when she got all the insults and chores. Of course, when they discover the truth, their mutual feelings reverse as Hansel realizes his seemingly "easier" fate is actually the worst of the two.

Still, the text is left ambiguous and open-ended enough for us to imagine TONS of things. There could be a rewrite of the tale where the witch exclusively eats little boys, and hates little girls. One nterpretation of dark poetry of the tale can be found in Znescope's Gretel mini-series. Despite this mini-series having BIG flaws (the choice of the witch's true identity was... quite bad to be honest), it does have a very interestng and morbid answer to the "Why was Hansel the only one fattened up?" question. It chooses to depict this difference of treatment as a sick and cruel game the witch plays with her preys: Hansel and Gretel are both her prisoners, but she fattens up Hansel while she starves Gretel, to make a contrast between the two, simply out of a perverse amusement. There is one particularly striking image of the two children locked in two cages arranged like a weighing scale, with Hansel's cage going lower as he grows fatter and Gretel's going up as she becomes skeletal... It is a nice visual contrast that has been reused by various artists.

Now, I spoke mainly here of the content of the story and of the text itself. However, as I stated before, we must look beyond the story itself to understand why Hansel was to be the meal, and not Gretel. Or rather we need to look at the fairy tale's structure, on a meta-level.

As I said before, the fairy tale works here on a system of duality. Hansel and Gretel are meant to be a yin and a yang, complementary reflections. The boy and the girl, the brave and the coward, the cunning older brother and the crying little sister. The idea that their fates are "split" into the house of the witch not only furthers the anguish of the characters, who at this point were always together but now find themselves separated, unable to face together the same trials, but also keeps on playing on these visuals and motifs. As I said, there is something that many artists read in the tale, in the opposition between a malnourished Gretel and a feasting Hansel. This is part of the same duality of food and famine present all throughout the tale, such as the woodcutter's famished and poor household, opposed to the witch's house made of sweets and with chests full of pearls. The siblings represent two forms of abuse and evilness enacted by the witch, but in complementary forms: with Gretel the witch becomes a domestic abuser and an enslaver, with Hansel she becomes a jailer and an ogress.

One can also read in this an extension of the typical sexist duality between men and women in these old centuries: the fates the witch forces upon the two children can be caricatures of what each gender is supposed to "do" in such a society. Gretel, like women, is expected to do household chores and to cook for her "man" - here it is caricatured into her becoming a slave, and only helping fattening up her brother like some cattle. In return, Hansel, like a man, is supposed to be well-treated and well-fed, but here the caring wife/mother figure is a monstrous hag who only makes him feast so she could eat him later. In fact, it is quite interesting to see how both siblings are dehumanized and reduced to the status of animals - from Hansel being fattened up in the stables like some pig or chicken, to Gretel being fed leftovers like a dog.

All of that being said, there is another much needed argument that must be made: the answer fo thte question can be easily found in the story's structure. This is the most obvious solving of the problem when you consider it all: the story of Hansel and Gretel relies on the idea that the two children must save each other in turn. There is a balance in the tale, which bears the name of the two protagonists as heroes, but one before the other. During the first part of the tale, it is Hansel who takes the lead and the decisions. He is the cunning hero who tricks his parents, saves his sister from the woods, returns home thanks to his plan. Gretel is only seen being scared, and crying, and not doing anything except follow her brother around. In the second part of the tale, within the witch's house, it is Gretel who becomes the hero. Her brother is "out of the race", locked up away and unable to do anything, and it is Gretel who this time has to trick the deadly parental figure, come up with a clever ruse, and ultimately save her brother from death. This creates a perfect balance between the two characters: Hansel starts out as the hero protecting his useless sister, and then it is Gretel who vanquishes her uselessness to become the hero saving her own, impotent brother. The siblings need each other to survive, and thus save each other in turn. This is how the story works. And this is why Hansel must be the locked-up, fattened-up victim, so that his sister can save him. Else it would have been the story of "Hansel", and not "Hansel and Gretel".

All of that being said, a last point must be made about a final theory. A theory and reading of the tale that has been very prevalent and prominent in recent adaptations of the story.

The recent "Gretel and Hansel" horror movie did it. Before the (X horror movie) also did it. Neil Gaiman's Hansel and Gretel also used this idea. The comics Fables toyed with it in a side-way. And this idea is simple: the witch did not want to eat Gretel, but rather wanted to make her a witch like herself. Gretel wasn't the witch's slave, but unwilling apprentice.

This idea is born of course from a reconsideration of what a "witch" is, and the gender questions attached with the figure of the witch. In the original story, the witch is not a witch in the modern sense of the term, in fact she is a monster that is very clearly an ogress by another name. There is no question of learning how to be a witch, or making deal with dark powers, or anything like that. But when you read the tale with the modern sense of "witch", as a symbol of dark and hostile feminity, as a woman of power, who works against the domination of men, or the tyranny of patriarchy - when you consider all the gender questions surrounding real-life witches and the witch hunts, you see the witch's actions under a different eye. Her not wanting to eat Gretel at first, and making her do her chores, and forcing her to live with her, might hint at the fact she still considers her more "human" or more valuable than her brother, who is nothing but food, a mere cattle. Several of the modern reinventions of the tale, such as those stated above, decide to add the twist that the witch actually wants to shape or make the little girl into her image: from a slave doing the witch's chores, she becomes the witch apprentice, who is by her side in everything she does. Some of those readngs remove the elements of abuse towards Gretel, while others do not forget them. Neil Gaiman's take on the story is especially fascinating as the witch is explicitely described as oscillating between periods of sweetness and kidndness, promising Gretel all of her secrets and great powers, and periods of pure hatred and violence where she just insults and beats up the girl - all of it highlighting either the witch's madness, or a form of senility due to her old age.

But this theme of "Gretel as a future witch" or "Gretel as the witch's apprentice" ties in with another subtext well-hidden in the original text, but that many like to weave upon: Gretel as the "daughter" of the witch. In many of those rewrites and reinterpretations, the witch doesn't just treat Gretel as an apprentice, but as an heir or a replacement daughter. This is no surprise since it is very clear that in the original tale, the witch is the dark side of the mother figure, and an evil doppelganger of the wicked stepmother/mother of the siblings. As such, it makes sense for her to impose an abusive and unconsented motherhood upon Gretel - doesn't her forcing the girl to do all the chores not reminiscent of how famous fairytales stepmothers treat heroines like Cinderella? Such a perverse motherhood was already explicit and obvious in her treatment of Hansel: like a mother she nourishes and feeds Hansel (in fact she succeeds where the wicked stepmother failed), but this is all to devour him, in a ritual of "un-birth", she becomes a death-givers who doesn't expel a child out of her womb, but has it return to her stomach. [This is a very common and usual motif among ogres of fairytales, who are all caricatures of parenthood].

More generally, to have the witch act in such a way actually makes the fairytale more "feminist" somehow, but in a quite perverse way. Because in such a reading, we have a women-dominated world. The true active and powerful characters of the story are beings such as the wicked stepmother and the witch, who command, control and influence the other characters - especially the male ones. The father is a weak puppet who can't stand up to his wife, Hansel is reduced to a fat pig in a cage. Hansel did try to escape the tyranny of the wicked woman, but all he could do was push back his doom, and his plans ultimately failed. Gretel, as a woman herself, is given a special treatment - and in the "apprentice/daughter" interpretation, is "absorbed" by this world of wicked, dominating women. But she actually breaks from it, and kills the one that would have "turned" her - and it is telling and interesting that the only one who can have a true an full success, a definitive victory in this tale is Gretel. Hansel's plans work and save them, but only for a brief time, and his last plan fails dramaticaly, before he gets locked up and "out of the story". Gretel meanwhile, when she gets the courage and intelligence to act, proves herself much more efficient and definitive than her brother, as she puts a true end to the threat other them by killing the witch (and by extension killing the wicked stepmother/mother). This is something Hansel couldn't do - all he could was trck the wicked woman, and nullify her plans, but he could not remove the threat of the death and the hunger.

Anyway, as you can see, despite being a quite superficial and silly question, this fact (or rather absence of facts) opens up a whole jar of various interpretations, readings and themes, and proves the hidden complexity of these apparently "simple" stories.

. ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ ⋅˚̣- : ✧ : – ⭒ ⊹ ⭒ – : ✧ : -˚̣⋅ .

Dancing along the sky-way his feet flitted across the cobblestones. Music rang out from bands in different areas of the marketplace. The smell of fresh bread wafted from the bakery, and people from all around lined up for the famous hat shop, the very one of the girl who had once been Howl's sweetheart. Or so she claimed, however, Hongjoong paid them no mind, only rolling his eyes when another group of foreigners raced in front of him to get to it repeating the same old story. Hongjoong merely shoved the bread in his mouth and continued to dance his way through the crowd, the rush of people paying the young lad no mind. What did they care for the boy with two-toned hair? His white button-up rolled above his elbow, the black suspenders holding up his grey tartan slacks, and the polished but worn brown shoes impressed them none. They were all much more excited for the glitz and glam of it all, the big tall, and sometimes short men in uniform were far more appealing than him and his pierced ears and his grey newsboy flat cap. However he noticed them plenty, eyes peeled for the small brief glimpses of magic. Almost always it was a farce but when he did catch an occasional glimpse of the real stuff he beamed, scratching down sharp-faced letters into his notebook.

Many people just passed him by as he ate his toast and fried egg, assuming him to be no more than his looks behind the large circle glasses. A newsboy, trying to get the latest gossip, and in some fashions he was. Ears pricking up ever so often at the name-

But he was almost always let down, this town could glean him no more information. And if that girl from the hat shop warned him one more time to quit while he was ahead and stop poking his nose into magical things he might actually forget the lessons his mother taught him about polite manners when speaking to ladies. Afterall what did a soon to be princess know? She had run from that life to one of fame and “romance”. Hongjoong could do for some romance, but he more truly longed to see that bright fluttering flare one last time. So upon returning home to his tiny rented room, he packed his bag with what few belongings he had brought with him and slept early body bubbling with excitement for the next morning. Dawn came quickly as it always does, and soon enough he was bounding off down the old road, heading far out of the small town he had spent so many years in. Fleeting glimpses of satin locks always had his head whipping around, however futile the cricks in his neck proved to be. Many warned him to turn around and go home. That while the wastes were better in recent years they were still far too dangerous for anyone without magic, or so small. But Hongjoong laughed them off and waved good bye each time. Even as a cold wind picked up in the evening he trudged on, a smile upon his lips. Unfettered he delved into the wilderness searching, mile after mile until he was forced to take shelter under a boulder and rest for the night. Hand wrapped around his notebook as he slept, a smile upon his clissful face, wholly unaware of two eyes watching from a distance ensuring his peaceful slumber remained as so. Two more days carried by before Hongjoongs dust covered shoes led him over a hill and he yipped in delight. Far down below, was the very valley for which he had been searching, flowers by the millions swayed in the early morning air. A large mountainous lake glittered in the sun. “I found it!” He exclaimed and abandoning caution he raced down the hillside and into the beds of wildflowers. However after just a few short seconds he paid them no mind, throwing himself almost flat in an attempt to hide as the valley filled with wind and a whirring sound. Hongjoongs smile only grew, this was it! Now all he had to do was lie still, his intelligence was right! Just as he’d predicted- Yoink! A scream flew from Hongjoongs lips as he suddenly found himself grabbed round the waist and tugged up high into the air. “I’ve got him Cal! Haul us up!” The laigh laughter of a young mans voice did not soothe Hongjoongs fretting as he struggled and kicked as the ground suddenly dropped away beneath him. Flowers becoming tiny pricks of color dancing far below as their petals flurried in the air around them. “Don’t struggle like that-ah ah careful the master will kill me if I drop you.” Hongjoong felt dizzy as he clung to the mystery mans waist in an attempt to not tumble and free fall through the air. The younger mans laughter filled the air as they soared high into the sky on a thick rope, bursting through a layer of clouds before Hongjoong managed to turn his head fully around. The young lad who was gripping his waist and carrying him uncerramoniously like a sack of potatoes had curly raven hair and a wild mischievous smile. But his brown eyes were kind as he looked from Hongjoong to above where a flying island-no ship unlike anything Hongjoong had ever seen before hovered for them. A familiar mop of red hair hauling on the rope to pull them up. “You were supposed to blindfold him Wooyoung hyung what if-” “Jongho how when kidnapping him as I’m free swinging in the air am I supposed to do that?” Laughed Wooyoung as they reached the edge and were hauled onboard ship by the younger still strong wizards apprentice. Wooyoung gaped at him and Jongho pointedly avoided eye contact. After all Hongjoong probably would have in his shoes, for it had been Jongho twice who had stopped him from meeting as he had planned. “Kidnapped-” “Woo you weren’t supposed to tell him.” A blonde man Wooyoung didn’t recognize laughed and shook his head. “Nice too meet you at last, I’m San but you probably heard of me as Cal. I’m the spirit that keeps this-” “Now who’s saying too much.” rebutted Wooyoung elbowing him. Hongjoong staggered staring at all three in disbelief. Not to mention the large open courtyard and grass, clothes hanging neatly on the line. This couldn’t be it, for one they had grabbed HIM not him sneaking in as planned. And…it was all so bright and cheerful and normal. No magicky gimmicks-aside from the entire place flying in the air. Or that was until he took a closer look, curiosity drowning out the sound of Wooyoung, Sans, and Jonghos arguing and flirting he stepped closer. Moving to the hearth and dining set under a over hanging arch of the building Hongjoong didn’t even realize he’d lost his hat, Tousled white and black hair falling around his head as he stepped into the shade. “Its you…” He didn’t need them to turn around. He knew those shoulders as well as the back of his hand. “Hello Hongjoong…I warned you what would happen if you didn’t listen to me.” The deep voice resonated through his chest and made the shorter mans toes curl. “I didn’t forget, its why I’m here.” Hongjoong could hardly believe the words coming out of his mouth were even, as his heart was doing the tango in his chest. Leather gloved hands gripping the strap of his bag tighter. Howl, as they called him turned around, gaze landing upon him with a unreadable expression. Long lashes framing his beautiful dark eyes, and his full lips were pulled together while he regarded Hongjoong. “So you still came to find me?” Howl chuckled and sat down crossing his long legs, the sorcerer was well at ease. “There was never a day I stopped looking.” He responded instantly. “Your spell to make me forget, didn’t work by the way.” Suddenly Howls face was all a flush with pink, eyes wide with surprise as he stared at Hongjoong. The two toned boy laughed, setting his bag on the table as he leaned into the sorcerors space. “It’d take a lot more than magic tricks to make me forget the man I fell in love with, and the one who took my first time~ Now, I hope you’re ready for me this time. I’ve studied hard for you everyday to be a good husband just as I promised~” Howl choked on a laugh of disbelief shying back into his seat flustered but smiling, more than a little pleased by his confession. Long fingers gripping Hongjoongs thin hips as he placed a knee between his thighs leaning over his larger frame. “I’m not a normal-” “So go on, your magic, your soul, everything about you is beautiful to me. I’ve been longing to see it all for so long.” Hongjoong purred cupping Howls cheek. Before the ravenette could speak however a new voice perked up light and amused a puppish jubilation to its tone. “I don’t think kidnapping Hyung is going the way Master Hwa was expecting it too.” “Yunho! Shhhhhh they were just getting to the good part!” A blushing tall deep voiced boy grabbed the tall man with puppy ears and tail and tugged him away with a laughing San. “YAH-” But Seonghwa’s yell turned into a happy smile tugging Hongjoong into his lap for a gentle and tender embrace. “Wait I’m trying to seduce you-” “Shhh. Just let me hold you for now. Seduce me later Joong…I still can’t believe you came here.” Whispered Seonghwa rumbling in his ear, eyes melting into two pools of swirling blue magic.

“Just promise me, you’ll never try and leave me again.” Hongjoong murmured.

Howl-Seonghwa chuckled and kissed the corner of his mouth, long fingers combing the flower petals from Hongjoongs hair. “I promise you, Darling, I will never leave you again. You’re stuck as the sorcerors bride from now on.” “H-hey you’re my bride-” But Hongjoong couldn’t help the slight quiver to his voice now, as his inner panicky gay broke out, absolute putty now he was faced with the man of his dreams. “Whatever you want-” “And don’t you ever go to any hat shops ever again!” Seonghwa couldn’t resist the hysterical laughter at Hongjoongs demand, ignoring too the subsequent yells and smacks for such an insult until his words were drowned out in sweet loving, and tender kisses.

hey!! im not sure if you're still taking questions for the ask game, but how about 1, 9, 10, 20, and 32?

Hi!! Yeah I totally am. (Honestly you could send me asks from a game I posted like a month ago and I'd still answer haha) 1) create a 7 member girl or boy group with existing idols -- Okay so I decided to do both because I had too many ideas in my head. -- For girl group: Sunmi, Chungha, Swan from Purple Kiss, Bibi, Dia from Pixy, Mia from Everglow, and Sori from Cocosori. They would be such a powerhouse of interesting vocals and good dancers, plus Bibi has such a unique image and take that I think would make for such a killer influence on Sunmi, Swan, and Dia's already slightly darker concepts. -- For boy group: Hongjoong from Ateez, Yeonjun from TXT, Donghun from ACE, Hanse from Victon, Cho Seungyoun, Lee Changyoon from ONF, and Woosung from The Rose. Sure, they've got a great balance of vocals, rap, and dance, but more importantly, they are all fashion hoes. Just imagine the styling that would come out of this mix it would be absolutely terrible or absolutely incredible and the two are not mutually exclusive.

9) a group that deserved better </3 -- Ugh there are so many to choose from. B1A4, Pristin, Pentagon, E'last, Rainz, Lightsum, Bugaboo, I could go on, but I think right now, for very obvious reasons, Omega X. No one deserves to go through the abuse they endured, and even now they're going to be fighting a legal battle for who knows how long. They've all been through so much and I'm just really wishing the best for them.

10) song to most likely make you crash your car while driving or get pulled over for speeding -- Good lord Beep Beep from BTOB. I literally had to remove it from one of my playlists because every time it came on while driving the car horns made me Panic.

20) favorite group with a color in the title -- Golden Child! I love their music and I feel like they're so underrated.

32) if you could magically bring back a disbanded group but had to disband another, who would you bring back and who would you disband? -- Oof this is so hard. I think if I could bring a group back, I'd pick Rainz. They really never got any attention at all but their discography was legitimately so good. I really enjoy all the stuff coming from the boys now in their respective groups (specifically WEI, TAN, and Eunki's solo stuff) but I loved their sound when they were together and I'd love to get it back for just a little while. For a group I'd disband, honestly I'd say Blackpink. Their music has felt so flat and repetitive since DduDduDdu, and I Pink Venom in particular felt like such a waste of their performance skills, Jennie especially. Plus, Rose's solo song Hard To Love is so much stronger than the rest of that album, I just really feel like it's time for them to hone their individual colors instead of being churned through Teddy's leftovers.

Send me some numbers!

#Thank you for sending Mairin!! This was so fun to think about #Hi Mairin!!#Ask games #thoughts with sai

WELCOME HOME, CHOI HANSE!

You've got the keys, unlock your new world!

NAME. CHOI HANSE. DATE OF BIRTH. 20040210. OCCUPATION. ENGINEERING STUDENT. NATIONALITY. SOUTH-KOREAN.

FREE FORM.

Hanse was an accident. Many people are, but most accidents don’t happen to sixteen year old girls. Even so, Hanse arrived, a healthy baby boy, to a very scared young girl, who’d been sent off to family in the countryside to have her child away from the whispers of their neighbours. No one knew the baby was hers, but after struggling to look after Hanse for a few months, she returned home to hand him over to her parents, before heading off to the countryside again, hoping to hide from the rumours that would circulate if she were to return.

But, being raised by a couple much older than typical parents of kids his age had its challenges. He didn’t have the newest, coolest stuff—older is better—and his grandparents weren’t as physically capable of playing with him, so he learnt to entertain himself, and make friends, and be independent. He was raised by not only his grandparents, but all the parents and shopkeepers around his neighbourhood, who’d see him out on the street all the time, playing with balls, or imagining himself into an epic fantasy story.

He came to see his own mother as just a distant older sister, but she never moved back to live with them, and Hanse never really cared, he had his grandparents, and they were good enough for him. He loved them, and they loved him, and as he grew older, and was able to do more to help them around the house, they thanked him for bringing youthful joy back into their home.

Hanse’s life, despite beginning shrouded in shameful secrecy, is now the exact same as his peers. He’s an engineering student with more friends than he can count on both hands, and more hobbies than he can reasonably keep up with, but he’s happy, and that’s all that matters to him.

Loaf of Bread

dumb boy can't compare to her, Jeong Hanse

The calls of vendors down the streets of Hogsmeade echo through the early morning air. The stony path lined with businesses eager to sell everything from trinkets to breakfast, to the bakery down at the very end of the street.

Two boys- best friends- make their way down the line, the occasional shove between the pair not uncommon as they took their time to stroll through the stalls. It’s all so fairly new to the two. Despite the rest of the students of Hogwarts already spreading out through the shopping strip, dispersing into their desired stores and little holes in the walls without a second thought- some even going as far as to beeline; neither Jun or Hanse realistically knew where they would be headed.

This would be Hanse’s first time through Hogsmeade and Jun’s maybe fifth (or at least he could count the number of times on his two hands). And the bustle of the vendors was absolute chaos; Junsoo, with a bit more familiarity than his best friend, takes the other boy towards the aforementioned bakery at the end of the strip. Some corner store that doesn’t look like much, if Hanse had been honest; but if Junsoo swore by it- well damn, he might as well have given it a chance.

And chance he did, as they quickened their pace towards the little business. Even without swinging the door open, immediately the smell of fresh bread wafts through every crevice of the little establishment and taking a deep inhale- Hanse decides that he quite likes the aromatics. Packed with the smell of herbs and freshly baked sweets filled with cream and topped with fresh fruit. And the distinctive scents only amplify once Junsoo does swing open the door for the pair to enter. Even through the window, Hanse could tell that the little store would be packed and busy.

Inside, the murmurs of different voices cloud the cozy space, overwhelming both boys, even when Jun leads them towards the front. Waving a hand, the lighter haired male beckons one of the workers to their aide, pointing indiscriminately at whatever bread looked particularly good at the moment.

“Oh- and today’s special too, I’ll take a loaf.”

Hanse distantly hears his buddy over the crowd as his mind drifts across the selection. Looking up at the man just as he begins to slice the bread, the crunch of the crust brings Hanse’s attention back to Jun. The dark haired boy almost watches in awe at the way the crust flakes with each slice, the distinctive sound of bread filling his ears.

The other boy’s picking out two additional apple-pie like pastries too, as Hanse leans into Jun’s side to mutter, “Do you think Diana would like anything?”

The only response Hanse receives in return is a snort and a gentle nudge from Junsoo. One that causes Hanse to raise a brow in question.

“Lord- you’re so whipped, it’s disgusting.” Jun teases, mirth lacing his voice, “Do you think Diana would like anything?” he mocks. “Give it up, lover boy. If Diana wanted anything, you do know she could buy it herself, right? Her parents are… let’s just say more well off than you could ever imagine for yourself. And if not her parents, Chase would buy it anyway. Otherwise, he’d probably beat your ass for trying shit again, either way. You can’t even hand it off to her without being questioned.”

The dark haired boy frowns at that, arms crossing, even when he knows his best friend had a point. And knew Hanse better than Hanse knew himself.

“Well what if–” the Durmstrang boy starts, “– what if, I just bring it to the lady guarding Ravenclaw’s common rooms? I could just drop it off, it shouldn’t be that bad– c’mon Jun, you’re more familiar than me!”

With a sigh, the Dane simply shakes his head, but gives in easily. Somehow, it sounded more like puppy love than anything else, but he couldn’t argue. Not when he had a boyfriend residing in Hogwarts that Jun had seeked out within minutes of stepping onto shore.

“Fine, fine… let’s see, what looks like it’d fit your stuck-up Ravenclaw’s tastes…? Also you definitely owe me one for this.”

A nod and a pat solidifies their mission.

Hanse leaves the store with a warm pastry in his hands, still a little too hot- freshly brought out of the oven.

He’s careful not to ruin the delicate thing, though– it’s cute, after all; decorated in blueberries and silver edible dust.

And kinda reminded the dumb boy of the pretty girl he’d been pining for.
