10 QL Girls I Want Carnally
Because @twig-tea hit me with the tag in their 10 QL People I Want Carnally list sprinkled with women as @negrowhat requested, let me slide up in here to show some appreciation for only the ladies because the amount of GLs we have leaves me thirsty, and these women look like a beautiful stream in the dusty desert.
Honorable Mention - Namtan's Characters [Pluto]
Tumblr media
I don't understand the plot of this upcoming series. Namtan is playing twins and one or both of them love May (played by Film). Full disclosure here, I don't give a fuck about the plot because I'm going to watch it regardless. I'm always showing up for Namtan (and Film and Clize). When I'm being offered beautiful women in a GL plot, I do not question the gifts God bestows on me.
Honorable Mention - Jung One [She's Makes My Heart Flutter]
Tumblr media
Fucking Korea and its short ass shows! I only had this precious babygirl for one hour, and I would murder for her. I would treat her so well that she would never feel nervous about another thing in her whole life. She is like Jim from Moonlight Chicken, just trying to help her niece and run her bar, but I'll be like Wen and WORK FOR FREE because that's how much I want to be in her bed warming her up at night. Money ain't the only way to pay me for my services.
Hydration Station
Maya & Rose [Laws of Attraction]
Tumblr media
Choke me. Maya AND Rose are my ideal throuple with me being the third. Silvy had me hot and bothered in her scenes with Joong and New in The Warp Effect (bisexual reawakening), and Organ had me hot for mommy in Never Let Me Go, so Laws of Attraction giving me both in a Be Gay, Do Crime plot was heaven sent. Watching them manipulate and beat up men, knowing they were going home to each other is the energy I need from all my GL plots.
Yuna [Semantic Error]
Tumblr media
She rides a bike and has beanies for every occasion. She'd let me wear her hoodies. She'd let me wear her beanies. She let me ride her bike. She'd let me ride her. Her entire demeanor lets me know what's up without her even having to open her mouth, and I've already signed up for a two-month subscription before I even approach her. Whatever she wants to do, I'm down whenever including going down wherever.
Tee [GAP]
Tumblr media
Let me say this with my full chest "FUCK, SAM!" If I was Mon, as soon as Tee would've asked my name, it would have been "Sam, who?" because TEE COULD GET IT! I'd let Tee fuck me in front of all her friends and God on that table. Tee's game was unmatched. No hate to Sam being inexperienced, but Tee obviously knew thangs and was more than willing to share her knowledge, anytime, any day, anyway. *bites knuckles*
Phai [My Dear Gangster Oppa]
Tumblr media
I don't fuck with cops. But . . . girl definitely knows how to use handcuffs. And the way she always told Muffin to shut up did things to my sacral chakra that told me that even though I don't fuck with the police, I would 100%, without a doubt, fuck the police(woman).
Proud [7 Project]
Tumblr media
This is going to be a theme in this list because I don't just want Proud from 7 Project, who deserved so much better than that horrible story. I want Samantha, the person who played Proud. Sammy has been in everything for a solid decade now. She deserves the lead already, and I deserve to watch her and those beautiful lips of hers make out with another girl again! 2024, do me and my girl right.
Luna [Sleep with Me]
Tumblr media
She has problems sleeping. Like an actual medical diagnosis. Not even trying to take away from the seriousness of her condition but . . . I've heard intensive physical activity is good for sleep. I'd be more than willing to test this scientific theory out by fucking all night long. It couldn't be just once though. In order to prove a theory, we'd have to do it a couple of times. I'm great at pulling all-nighters and being an enthusiastic participant for *science*
Cher [GAP]
Tumblr media
GAP gave me so many beautiful women, and all of them were mean to Sam. Blessed. But my favorite Mean Girl was Cher. I had her for only a few seconds, but I would leave my SO on vacation if I saw her walking through the resort. Her AND her girlfriend could get it. Call me. Beep me. If you wanna reach me.
Ray [Club Friday]
Tumblr media
This bitch was crazy. And I. Loved. It. But playing crazy is apparently what this actress does best.
Tumblr media
As Ray, she was wildin' out trying to have a baby between her husband, her husband's boyfriend, and her ex-girlfriend, and as Anthika in Midnight Museum, she was wildin' out trying to resurrect the savior. And you know what? I would proudly stand next to her and commit queer wrongs every day instead of demanding she come to her senses if it meant she was making me come every night. Ooookay.
Mayris [The Sign]
Tumblr media
Is she open to a two-night stand with a girl? I don't know, but I'm sure the hell gonna try to persuade her.
Ink [Bad Buddy]
Tumblr media
There is a reason everyone loved her in that show. In Magic of Zero, Pa was trying her damndest to get Ink to remember her, and girl, same. If I had a girl like Ink, I would be the brattiest bitch. I'd pout until she gave me all of her attention. I'd be pissy if she even looked at someone else. I'd want her all to myself and she'd have to lose her job because I'd keep her in the bed ALL DAY. Well, not the bed. We could pull a Pat and Pran and fuck on the couch, the kitchen counter, and outside after drinking.
The One to Rule Them All
Sine Inthira, the person, not the character.
Tumblr media
I want this woman carnally. She could tell me to shut up in front of my friends and God, and I WOULD DO IT! She could say something that went against all my feminist beliefs, and I would not give one fuck. I would ruin my life for this woman. I would be peak toxic for this woman. Why The Eclipse cast her as the teacher and tried to make me feel bad for Khao's character was the rudest thing to ever happen in my bisexual existence, but I know where my heart lies because I was telling Ayan to shut the fuck up and let my beautiful angel speak.
Tumblr media
LOOK AT HER! If y'all ever hear of an American sitting in a Thai jail after chasing after this woman, know that American is me because my ass will not be sane if I see her in person.
I'm only tagging one person in this list of women I want carnally.
💙Daddy💙
@dribs-and-drabbles, I'd love to know who you want helping you break in that bed after you move it in this weekend. You've been so focused on shared clothing when all I want to know is whose do you want to take off.

Let's talk reading for a minute. It's a big thing in academic communities and there's a sense that if you don't read x amount of books a year then you're not truly academic or proactive whatnot and that's simply not true.
I know some people who don't read books at all but they read scientific papers daily. I know some people who only do audio books and never read. I know some people who just hate reading and watch documentaries and short films and stuff like that. And I know people who claim to love reading but only know the spark notes (is this still a thing btw?) of all the books they claimed to have read.
Don't beat yourself up over reading. This year I finished over 20 stories. Some were books. Some were audio books. Some were poetry collections. And next year I know I am not going to get anywhere close to that. I think I'll get 3 or 4. Mostly because one of the books I plan on reading is 900 pages and I'm a slow reader. And that's ok! I don't have to read every book. I don't have to read the books everyone is reading. I don't have to finish a 300 page book in a night.
Reading isn't a competition or a measure of much at all. I'm educated, smart, and literate. My dad is a published author and poet. I've been reading since I was 4. I've written research papers. I enjoy reading when I can. And for the longest time I believed that how much I can read is a mark on me of something. The more I read, the better I am. We all hear that statistic that the super successful people read like 60 books a year or something around that.
And what I realized is that those people have time to sit and read. I do not. Working full time, going to classes, having a daily commute of over 2 hours, having a place to keep clean, cooking, going to the gym at least once a week, studying, being social, and playing my video games every now and then take up a lot of my time. I don't have the luxury to be able to read for hours a day every day. And that's ok!
So please don't turn reading into a chore. Reading is to be enjoyed, not to prove anything. It isn't a mark about much at all. You're not going to suddenly become this amazing, super successful genius because you read 100 books in a year. Read because you want to and you enjoy it. Life should be spent on enjoyment and being a good person, not on crunching numbers.
I'm not dissing on anyone either. People who can read 100 books a year. Or even 20. Those people impress me. People who can read 1000 pages a week. That's insane to me. I would watch my mom read those thick Stephen King novels in like 2 days as a kid. (That was her only hobby really. All she did was work, clean, and read. So she would sit for hours every day and read). My cousin can read 500 pages in a night. Yall who can do that amaze me so much.

― who you gonna call? pt.3
the boys know they'll always have someone to call when they need them. that someone in question being you, luckily that feeling is more than mutual.
‧₊˚ chris x gn!reader
‧₊˚ warnings: light swearing (?), the tiniest itzy bitzy bit of angst in the beginning, mutual pining (?)
‧₊˚ word count: 700
‧₊˚ pt.1 ( matt ) | pt.2 ( nick ) | masterlist
Tumblr media
( 𝖈. ) ; you don't have to call him. you always find eachother.
your finger rested over your chat.
snickerdoodle [5:32 pm] : have fun on your date!!!!
you [6:34 pm] : i will, thank uuu
snickerdoodle [5:34 pm] : & tell me if he's a creep
snickerdoodle [5:35 pm] : ill find him.
Despite the tragic circumstances, being you sitting alone in the library, you had to hold back a smile at his words.
You've contemplated calling him multiple times over the last hour, your date had cancelled about half an hour after he should have picked you up. But instead of changing back into some more comfortable clothes and asking Chris to come over for a spontaneous movie night that he would most definitely say yes to in an instant, you decided to search for some comfort in your third favourite place in the world (the first being the triplets' couch and the second being your bathtub).
You actually missed the deadline on returning some of the books you borrowed just to give your full attention to this date that you were really looking forward to.
You sighed.
Those were 30 cents you would never get back.
The same thought taunted you as you walked through the shelves of said library, hoping to distract yourself and not wanting to waste a perfectly good outfit, you found yourself here.
The eerie silence you usually loved felt tauntingly grim tonight and the thoughts that were racing in your head sounded even louder.
Though it did help with recognizing a familiar voice at the librarians desk.
"I'd like to return these please."
You peaked your head out of the bookshelf, the familiar brown locks covering up the familiar and only face you wanted to see tonight.
You had totally forgotten about your date as you tapped him on your shoulder.
"Chris?"
He turned towards you, his face brightening at the sight of you, automatically pulling you into a side hug, his other hand still occupied with an oddly familiar set of books.
"What are you doing here? I didn't know you could read," you mumbled, watching him roll his eyes.
"Ha ha, very funny. You forgot these books at ours and I noticed the return date."
Your eyes widen a bit, A Brief History of Mixed Media Film Making, Directing Explained with Chloé Zhao and Color Theory in Stop Motion
Those were definitely your books.
"And I almost had hope you cared for Chloé Zhao's breakdown of directing," you murmured with a smile.
He shoved you a bit to the side, "Not even my undying love for you would make me pick up a book."
"Undying?"
"Don't get smug. I did it only because I knew you were busy because of your date."
He watched the smile in your face fade a bit.
"Speaking of the date, that you so rudely cancelled our movie night for, how is...did it go?" Chris mumbled, pulling a face at the change of mood he witnessed.
"Didn't show up." You shrugged, your voice didn't waver, but Chris could still make out some hurt.
"I'm sorry."
"It's whatever."
"It's not, this is all my fault," Chris mumbled, his face towards the row of books, though something told you he wasn't actually very focused on Biographies of Philosophers A-G.
"How is this your fault?"
"Should have never let you go on a date with that idiot..."
"Chris," you frowned, concerned.
"Should have taken him out when I had the chance."
"Chris." You warned, amused.
"And I should have taken you out instead of him as well."
He was now toying with Aristotle's biography, but even in the dim library light you could make out his blush and the occasional glance he'd send your way.
"As in on a date or do you want to beat my ass."
"Maybe both if you make fun of the fact that I don't read on our date tomorrow."
You giggled, fully turning your body towards him now.
"Tomorrow? Do I get a say in this?"
"No. Because you have terrible taste in men," he teased, leaning down towards your face.
A beat of silence, the two of you just stared at eachother.
"I'm starting to doubt that," you spoke, lowly. It was more a mental note to yourself than anything, though it flustered Chris nonetheless.
"We'll see," he leaned away again, putting the book he had paid no mind to back and dragging you out of the library.
The rest of the way towards your home was spend in silence, but his hand never left yours, and you had a giddy feeling every time you'd catch him staring at you.
"Thank you, really," you whispered once you eventually made it to your front door.
"You saved this night...and spared me a fee of 30 cents."
"Don't mention it. I'm just happy we spent some time together today."
"So humble," you mumbled as you unlocked the door, for the first time in what felt like the whole night you were turned away from him.
"Take all blame, duck all credit," he quoted, shrugging casually but his smug smile told you otherwise as you turned around with your mouth agape.
"You did read the Chloé Zhao Direction book!"
Tumblr media
i hate the word agape. u say it ag-ape, scientifically proven. (real)
i hope you enjoyed, luv u <3

You Did What?!
Pairing: Florence Pugh x Reader
Summary: Flo comes home with a little surprise 
Fluff | No Warnings | 1.2K | 
AC: If you watched the new interview, I hope you heard my tears of joy! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
With A Good Person just released and your girlfriend on a press tour from London to the States, it was hard not to miss her! Of course, if you had the time off work, you would've traveled with her without a second thought. The two of you have been spending plenty of time in the newly built home in London while Florence took a short break from filming and press, luckily for you your job allowed you to work from home via conference calls etc. 
Florence texted and called you every day, even if she only had a quick 2 minutes to say hi and that she misses you. You loved how no matter where she was, you both were able to make things work. 
When Florence texted you in capitals out of pure excitement, the biggest smile tugged at your lips as you read "I'M DOING THE PUPPY INTERVIEW!!!" It's been on her bucket list for a while now. Just to be surrounded by puppies, who wouldn't want that?! Almost instantly you called her to ask all the questions of when and where.
"I'm doing it tomorrow! I wasn't going to tell you and just wait for you to see it but I got too excited" she chuckled over the phone. Your smile only grew bigger by the sound of her voice and the happiness you could hear. "There's no way you could've kept this from me for too long" you replied in a sarcastic tone. 
"Just be prepared for all the behind-the-scenes selfies" Flo commented. 
"Oh, I'll be waiting! I better get more photos of puppies though" you joked. Florence playfully huffed, "Are you saying I'm not as cute as the puppies?!" she asked. "That's exactly what I'm saying, sorry babe" you chuckled as you pictured what her facial expression would look like right now. 
"I get it, I mean, if you were in a room full of puppies, I'd go for the puppies too" Florence joked pack in a put-on hurt tone. The two of you were well known for always laughing and making fun of one another. 
"Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you're standing there with your free hand on your hip right now totally not offended that I think puppies are cuter than you" 
There was a moment of silence before Florence chuckled once more, "Are you spying on me baby? Have you got eyes one me?" she asked. 
"Always, I'm everywhere" you playfully shook your head, "I have a conference call in 5 minutes baby but I hope you have a wonderful time tomorrow, I can't wait to see the puppies!" you added when your eyes caught the time. 
"Don't let me keep you love, say hi to Billie for me! I miss you both" 
"I think Billie is going to have second thoughts about you after I show her the photos you'll send" 
"Don't you dare! Billie, baby, don't listen to her! mommy loves you!" You'll never get over the sound of joy that comes from her giggle. "I love you hon but I really have to go, I'll text you after" you pouted as your eyes stayed glued to the time on your laptop. 
"Alright darling, have a lovely meeting! I miss you" 
"I miss you too love, stay safe!" 
You both kept the phone to your ears until the beeping died out and silence filled the room. Billie looked up at you as she lay by your feet, a sigh came from you as you looked down at her. "Only a few more days, Billie!" You smiled softly. 
----
Those few more days felt like forever as you and Billie waited patiently for Florence to walk through the door. As normal, Flo messaged you when she landed and that she'd only be a few more hours until she was home, and you could finally tackle her to the floor (with Billie's help) and attack her with a giant hug. During those hours, you decided to cook her favorite dinner and pop open a bottle of her favorite wine before setting the table. 
A playlist that Florence made on your phone played softly in the background, your excitement building by the minute as the clock ticked on, just waiting for the sound of a car pulling up and Billie racing to the front door. Even though the house was filled with the delicious smell of dinner, that never stopped Billie from getting distracted by the sound of Flo at the door. Her bark alerted you that somebody was at the home, and you couldn't help but smile as you quickly poured two glasses of wine and sat them on the dinner table. 
"Darling! I know you and Billie are waiting to take me down but just give me a second to show you something first" Florence's voice came from the other side of the front door. 
"I don't think you're getting out of our love that easy" you chuckled. 
"No, my love, I have a surprise" Florence replied, "could you please hold Billie?" she added. 
You frowned slightly as you gently got down to Billie's level and held her back, "Go ahead" you called just before you saw the door creep open. "Don't be mad but" Florence paused as the door creeped open even more. Slowly Florence stepped in holding a little brown puppy with a tiny white patch on its chest. "Uh, baby" you gasp, "I don't think you were meant to steal a puppy!" you added as Flo slowly walked over to you and Billie, both dogs tails wagging wildly as Florence gently placed the puppy on the floor.
 "I didn't steal her, I adopted her" Florence smiled proudly as she looked up at you, "You did what?" You raised a brow in shock. 
"I adopted her, I don't know how to explain it but leaving her behind felt wrong, I hope you're not mad. Look at her cute little face" 
It was no lie, the puppy was adorable, you just weren't expecting Florence to bring home a puppy! Although Billie quickly showed a liking to the little pup, sniffing her and rolling onto her back to let the new family member sus her out. "You know I can't stay mad about this" you playfully glared at Florence whose smile did not fade an inch, "what's her name?" you asked. 
"She doesn't have one yet, that's for you to pick" Florence watched as the unnamed puppy made her way over to your lap. Her big dark brown eyes looked up at you as you gently picked her up, "You really are just adorable aren't you" you coo'd. After a few moments of petting her and rubbing her chubby puppy belly, you looked up at Florence and smiled. "How about Layla?" you questioned. Florence chuckled, "Did you also notice the little L shape bite mark on her collar?" she asked, you nodded. 
"Layla is perfect!" Florence smiled as Layla jumped off your lap and wagged her tail as Billie came closer to her, "What do you think Billie? You have to be a good big sister and make sure Layla doesn't cause too much trouble" Flo added as she petted Billie gently. "You're picking up after thou, I'm still mad you brought home a dog" you playfully winked at your girlfriend who just shook her head at you as she reached over and kissed you softly. 
"I missed you" she whispered against your lips.
"Do that again and I may forgive you" you smiled softly before she kissed you once again, this time deeper. "I'll think about it" you chuckled as you tackled her with a tight hug, "I missed you too my love" you couldn't help but kiss her once more.

A/N: I feel like this sucks but sorry for the long wait dear! I hope you will like it!
Requested by: @cherry-season
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ೃ⁀➷ They wouldn't really care that you had troubles sleeping but still force you to sleep, even if Jake had to be the one to knock you off since Steven was a sweetheart and Marc didn't want to hurt you.
ೃ⁀➷ Hypocrisies, if I need to say 😐
ೃ⁀➷ It wasn’t that you didn't want to sleep with them, cuddled up with their warmth all over your body but...
ೃ⁀➷ Maybe it was your body that wasn't tired, or the never-ending thoughts that didn't let you close your eyes peacefully
ೃ⁀➷ We all know that if it's the first one... There is always a solution they are happy to give 🤭
ೃ⁀➷ But if it was the second, I believe Steven would be the one to talk with you the most.
ೃ⁀➷ He was generally the one that had social skills, and he was a sweetheart, always ready to listen and help.
This is no saying that Jake and Marc wouldn't try to help you, they would... They would tear apart the whole world for you but those two men knew nothing about comforting or having experience in that field.
"Is there no medicine for her? It's hurting her, I can see her eyes begging to sleep!"
"Marc, as much as your worry is appreciated, yelling is only making her headache worse-"
"Just give me the name of that doctor, Hermosa and I will deal wit it"
It was cute, both in your eyes and Steven's, but everyone who knew you and boys also knew that "deal" with Jake would never be that peaceful.
"nO!! You're not! I'm taking care of them!
ೃ⁀➷ Being coddled up with their love already made you smile and the curls that fell down Steven's very tired eyes made a pang in your heart, feeling bad that he had to take care of you when he has troubles as well.
ೃ⁀➷ But he was quick to reassure you that he was happy to do so, happy that you trusted with something important such as your health, and he wanted to spend time with you...
ೃ⁀➷ Aghhh this man, right here- 🥰
ೃ⁀➷ And since he seemed genuine, unlike other people who only complained about your sleep schedule, you were happy to give in and hugged him while his hands stayed where your hips started and slowly rubbed your back. "Then, my knight in shining armor... What do you suggest we do?"
"Hmm, I heard that tiring the body could help..."
"Is that so~?" Poor Steven didn't realize how suggestive that sounded and immediately went red down to his neck. Giggling at how cute he was being, you kissed his lips softly and fixed his hair with a soft smile. "I'm just kidding, love. How about we make marshmallows?"
"But... we're in our home and not at a campside?"
"So?" 🤨
ೃ⁀➷ And that was how you spent the night with the three men above the stove in the middle of the night, making marshmallows and a plate full of food to go and watch a film with.
ೃ⁀➷ Steven, and Marc and Jake, was happy to see you... soft, comfortable and happy. You swayed to a song in your mind while being completely unaware that the other two men was watching you with hearts threatening to get out of their chest.
ೃ⁀➷ They never thought that they would be spending their times when they didn't hunt criminals, with someone as caring and loving as you. You always waited for them to come back home to patch them up, even if it was midnight, and though they were happy to hear you scold them for the miilionth of times for their carelessness, that was how they realized that you had troubles sleeping.
ೃ⁀➷ A normal human being would be verry tired at that hour after all.
ೃ⁀➷ "Doll, what's wrong with you?"
ೃ⁀➷ Both you and the three men winced how harsh that sounded and they internally beated Marc for saying such a harsh thing when you turned to look at him with a curious tilt. "What do you mean? About the insomnia?"
ೃ⁀➷ His heart leaped to his throat at how easily you understood what he meant, knowing that Marc was bad with words and chose the wrong ones often to voice his worries.
ೃ⁀➷"Hmm, I don't know. Sometimes, It's just hard trying to go to sleep. The voices, thoughts don't shut up and I have to re-experience that one embrassing thing again, thinking that 'I should have done/said that!', you know?"
ೃ⁀➷ Oh, yes... He knew that feeling very well. The same would happen whenever he woke up from a nightmare.
ೃ⁀➷ But he didn't like you suffering because of the same. If it was up to him, he would take all of it on himself to see you sleep peacefully and be healthy.
ೃ⁀➷ "And sometimes, I just lie awake at night, never feeling tired. And when I sleep, I feel so tired... I guess it should have been the otherwise. Medication helps but I don't want to be addicted to them just to sleep."
ೃ⁀➷ your sad mumbling hurted them more than they thought and Marc gathered you between his strong arms while caressing your hair softly. "We will get through this together, okay? You have always been the one to take care of us..."
"Now, is our time, mi alma..."
ೃ⁀➷ That night was the best night you had. You had the chance to cuddle up with your boyfriends while watching a movie you had been wanting to and without any troubles, just like that... You fell into a deep, refreshing sleep.
ೃ⁀➷ Marc and Jake looked down to see your eyes closed and slight drool escaping, chuckling in affection and settled to lie with you on top of them on the couch when a slight sniffle rang inside their minds.
"Steven? What's wrong? Sad that we spent-"
"They fell asleep... It means they feel safe with us! They never did that before!"
ೃ⁀➷ And while Jake comforted the sensitive one out of them, Marc smiled and cuddled to you with a kiss on your forehead to not disturb you and fell asleep.
ೃ⁀➷ He didn't have to say that it was also the best sleep he had in a long time.
ೃ⁀➷ P.S: after that day, when you went to work, They both searched how to treat insomnia by themselves and you definetly didn't question the sudden change of mattress, huge amount of candles with relaxing smells, or the eye masks and ear plugs with the darkest curtain you had ever seen, being all in your bedroom.

⁰⁰¹ : JAEYUN.
quality time. physical affection.
my brain turns to mush (/pos) whenever i think about jaeyun but i will do my best to not explode 💔
jaeyun absolutely adores just simply existing in the same space as you - often times you two stay in the same room without exchanging a single word because your work loads are too occupying.
jaeyun loves to be around you in those times, but he loves even more when there's no distractions. no work or group chats blowing up or emails to check off. simply just you and him in the seclusion of his room (after he's kicked minho out, of course).
you'd spend most of your time together watching films or shows, taking time out of your schedule to watch when either of you were able to visit the other.
more often than not, you'd end up falling asleep next to him (its okay, he fell asleep too).
half of his body would be thrown over yours once you woke up, his temple pressed to your chest as your fingers instinctively began to run through his hair. jaeyun lived for moments like these with you.
plus, you both falling sleep mid-way through the film only gave a better excuse for you to visit again - its a win-win for everyone! (except minho, who just wants to be in his room).
he'd like to be inside with you whenever possible - for both reasons of his job and for his own preference.
loves loves loves just lounging around i can not express that enough.
does everything in his power to make sure you are comfortable with him 100% of the time, even if that means having absolutely NO ONE in the dorms when you visit, drawing closed the blinds and making sure no one sees you together, he’ll do what he can.
jaeyun strikes me as the type to prefer your hands being held or have his bicep resting on your shoulder so he can rub his thumb along your nape soothingly.
the only word i can think to describe how he loves you is comfortable. everything’s about jaeyun is so comfortable.
⁰⁰² : MYUNGHO.
physical affection. acts of service.
with how often myungho can be seen being physically affectionate with his members, it's hard to believe he wouldn't be that way with his s/o!
if anything, he'd be even more affectionate towards you. whether its an arm around your neck, hand holding yours, or his chin on your shoulder when he hugs you from behind, he absolutely loves connecting with you in such a way.
one of his favorite ways to show his love is by playing with your hands. its such a simple act that can be done mindlessly, but to myungho, there's more thought in such an action.
he loves to intertwine your fingers with his just to undo them, taking one of your hands in both of his and tracing over your knuckles and nails, the tip of his index finger following the lines in your palm before closing your hand between his.
when you hold hands, he prefers to have his thumb on the outside of yours so he can swipe over your skin smoothly. if you were to copy that action on him, he'd be the happiest man ever.
on days where its a bit more taxing for you both or you are unable to see each other for a long period of time or maybe your schedules just don't line up, he'd do his best to make sure you know he's thinking of you.
things like: if you say you're hungry, he'll immediately open a delivery app and order your favorite take out for you, the full meal at your doorstep within the hour (he'd pay an extra fee if it meant it got to you quicker).
of course, you'd do the same for him when given the opportunity, and it makes him happy knowing you'd go the same lengths to help him that he would for you :]
⁰⁰³ : MINHO.
quality time. words of affirmation.
he's always so smiley :( you could be doing the most mundane things and he'd just stare lovingly at you. even once you've caught him, he doesn't say anything.
you're so mesmerizing to him without even realizing it. even if its just him scrolling on his phone across from you while you study, he loves every second of it. he loves being able to look up past his screen and see you so concentrated, not knowing he's even admiring you.
minho knows you'd likely turn your face away bashfully if you knew he was staring, so the fact he only had to move his eyes in this position is definitely a bonus.
even if you caught him staring, his eyes would be so full of love that you couldn't even be mad at him.
something he was a bit more shy to do was express his admiration to you verbally. . . but that's not the case when it comes to text messages or notes!!
you'd rarely have a morning without a message from him encouraging you for the day. messages during your time away were somewhat common as well (if he was able to find in between his own schedule to send them).
minho would never miss a chance to wish you a goodnight, telling you how proud he is of you for pushing through the day!
when he gets the chance to visit you, he'd leave notes for you on your desk or in your bag. under your pillow or stuck on your fridge or counter.
minho's secret time! he's unsure if you've ever found it, but he put all of his feelings onto a sticky-note (well, all the feelings that could fit on there) and put it in your phone case. if you ever did find it, you never brought it up.
minho felt what he said was a bit cheesy - too lovey-dovey, but its how he felt about you, so he doesn't regret it all too much. if his members ever knew what he wrote, he'd never hear the end of it.
the words he wrote were only meant for you, anyways :]
⁰⁰⁴ : YOONSUNG.
gift giving. quality time.
yoonsung ♡
if you've read any of my other headcannons with yoonsung, you'd know the yoonsung-matching-with-s/o conversation is one i speak on a lot!!
yoonsung thinks every moment he shares with you is precious - he likes to make memories with you even through the most mundane of tasks.
if you're cleaning together, he'd be sure to have music playing and sing throughout the entire ordeal (the mini concert you get is a reward for all of your work).
he'd also love to try new recipes with you! finding whatever either of you had lying around/left over and trying to make something delicious . . . it works out about half the time - but you both have fun nonetheless!
yoonsung (i've said it twice but here's a third time) loves the idea of making bracelets with his s/o :( he finds the elastic string with colorful beads the most fun - you get to make them for each other so you'll always have a piece of one another with you :")
he's usually slower than you too 😭 wanting to make sure everything is aligned nicely and that it isn't too loose or too tight on your wrist.
if you express you're not too fond of jewelry, he knows how to work with that, too. whether that's buy buying matching shirts or a pair of shoe laces or simply giving you a few of his favorite sweaters, he'll find a way for you to have part of him with you wherever you go.
he loves spending time with you and it doesn't matter too much to him what you do together. if you wanna go see a movie or have a meal outside, he's down! or if you want to take a rest day with your boyfriend and stay indoors, he is more than happy to oblige.
if you're into keeping up with shows, he's gonna be there to watch them with you whether you're together or miles away! it's always nicer to have someone to talk about them with and its even better when they show the same amount of interest and enthusiasm as you do.
thinks little displays of affection can be just as powerful as the bigger ones, and with both of your busy schedules, he does whatever he can to make sure you know how much he appreciates you :]
⁰⁰⁵ : HAEMIN.
quality time. physical affection.
unlike myungho, haemin is much more reserved with his physical affection. he's not a huge fan of pda and typically gets shy when he tries to initiate it.
but his lack of initiation does not mean he doesn't enjoy it! he prefers to keep that kind of affection in the privacy of the dorm (and its not like he can show it outside of the dorm at this point in his career anyways).
but on the rare occasions you're both able to meet outside the dorm - hoods pulled over your heads and masks on your face - he becomes a bit more bold.
reaching for your hand across the table at whatever shop you decided to meet at and interlocking your fingers. joining your arms together as you walk down the sidewalk, enjoying the day together. he lives for the quieter displays of affection.
not because he isn't proud to be with you - he feels the happiest he's ever felt at this point in his life. but he understand with his occupation it gets a bit tough, and the last thing he wants is to jeopardize your safety. so for now, you'll remain behind the scenes for just a little while longer.
spending time together is a difficult task to plan, but you make do with the time you do get and spend it in the best way you can.
because of haemin's reserved nature, he enjoys being indoors with you a lot. catching up on shows or watching a movie is simple but one of his favorites - it allows him to relax and escape from his hectic schedule for a while, and that all becomes even better when he gets to do that with you!
maybe you have to study for an exam or tackle some project for work, even if he has absolutely no idea how to help you, he'll be by your side (or in the next room if you request for him to) making sure you don't push yourself too much and that you take a break once you need it.
he shows his love and admiration in the softer ways - ways he's reserved only for you to see and for you to receive.
⁰⁰⁶ : KYUNGMIN.
acts of service. words of affirmation.
kyungmin, similar to haemin, enjoys displaying his love for his s/o in more subtle ways. placing his hand on the corner of the table if you dropped something, putting the straw to your drink in first before his own, or making sure you have enough charge on your phone before you go anywhere are just to name a few things.
he never wastes an opportunity to tell you how much he appreciates you as his s/o.
kyungmin strikes me as the type to Not Care about about his idol image when it comes to being in a relationship LOL
if one day you're out and someone recognizes him, he'd do his best to make sure your face is covered from whatever cameras might have sprung up.
at the very least, he wants to make sure you're safe. pulling your jacket collar over your face, taking off his hat and putting it on you, rushing to use a mask or simply pulling you to his chest and making you walk backwards . . . he's ready to go to whatever lengths to protect your identity.
his career would never stop him from bringing you around - he's not too fond of the idea of keeping everything private all the time, but that's not to say he isn't cautious when and where he needs to be.
for the times when your schedules just don't line up the best, he will never go a night without talking with you.
whether that's accidentally falling asleep on call with one another, a simple goodnight text to let you know he's drifting off while thinking of you, or something in between, he makes sure you know you're on his mind.
most days he wakes up earlier than you, so that means almost every morning without fail, you'll wake up to messages from kyungmin.
anything ranging from what he's eating for breakfast to how much he misses you to what his schedule is for the day. . . if he doesn't talk to you he feels this unwavering weight on his shoulders from guilt.
always wishes you a good morning :( sometimes popping in a cheesy "hope you dreamt of me ♡" before he has to shut his phone off for some hours.
he can easily tell when you're stressing out and when a burn-out is creeping up. he's the first to tell you to take a break and regain your energy slowly rather than force work out of you.
while at the time you may feel like you need to cram, you know listening to his advice will always prove to be more fruitful. which results in many praises. "i love you, and i love how ambitious you are, but taking care of yourself comes first, okay?"

For a fluffy request: Stewy taking care of a sick reader
Couchside Comfort
Tumblr media
Pairing: Stewy Hosseini x f (Roy) Reader/ Stewy Hosseini x reader (can be read as either the usual Roy reader or Roy-less reader as there's only one small reference to Shiv Roy at the end)
Word count: 2.5K
Author's note: Thank you so much for this request Nonnie! I absolutely adore this type of fluff! I know you probably meant sick like a cold or something minor but this felt like the perfect opportunity to do a chronically ill reader, I then had a lovely ask regarding endo from @emeraldsandelderberries and I was convinced to finish off the idea about a reader having their period and making this ask endo related. I hope you don't mind Nonnie, if you had another illness in mind or wanted something more generic, please do let me know and I can do that! I think having chronically ill readers and fics is so important and endo is so important, so this is dedicated to those two and anyone reading who has endo, a chronic illness, gynae pain etc. You all deserve a Stewy who will take care of you and I hope you all enjoy this! I'm very tempted to write more chronically ill fics! As usual, reblogs and comments are more than welcome and appreciated! PS has not been proofread (shocker!)
Content/chapter warning: established relationship, mentions of endometriosis, chronic illness,pain, periods, fluffy fluff. There is no physical description of the reader but they are AFAB/have endo.
*********************
It had been an absolutely miserable day, you’d woken up feeling a bit bloated and with an ache in your lower back. It wasn’t a great feeling but having dealt with a chronic illness for a significant amount of your life that flared up randomly and consistently through your cycle, you had sadly become used to waking up with discomfort and bloating. At least with your career and home life, you didn’t need to worry about the oxymoron of wearing jeans with an endo belly. 
But the morning had very quickly progressed from mild (for you) discomfort to a full-blown flareup with the culprit being your period. You ended up staying home and having a sick day then going to work, you didn’t text or call Stewy as there wasn’t much he could do. Endometriosis wasn’t something that had an easy guide to fix and cure, it was unpredictable it fluctuated and maybe if you just rested you might feel better by the time Stewy came home. Which you knew was unlikely anyway. 
You’d taken anti-inflammatories, had an obscenely long magnesium bath, you’d tried napping but you couldn’t get into a position anywhere that was comfortable enough and didn’t hurt. Hours had painfully, slowly gone by and you were now curled up on the sofa watching one of your favourite comfort films Dead Poets Society, even though it always made you cry. 
Stewy was home a bit earlier than usual, he wasn’t expecting you to be home already but he knew you were as he could hear the sound of the television playing something. You hear the door open and the sound of him coming in and the usual routine of shoes off and so forth. You hadn’t called or texted so he just assumes that you finished work early and you’re unwinding on the couch. 
“What are we watching?” He calls out as he follows the noise of the television to you. 
“Dead Poet’s Society.” You tiredly and quietly call out as you feel a new shooting pain travel through your abdomen. 
“Why are you watching a sad movie? This one always makes you cry.” Stewy asks as he can now see you and he knows the answer before he even finishes that question. 
You’re awkwardly curled up on the couch with a blanket around you, an electric heat pad tucked into your pants against your abdomen to provide some relief against the sharp, pelvic stabbing. There’s water and chocolate nearby. Your face is in a grimace and Stewy can see that there are some tears in your eyes, he’s been around long enough to know that they’re a product of both your physical pain and tears from this film. 
“Do you want to watch something else?” You softly ask rather than directly answering as you close your eyes, trying to sink further into the cushion on the sofa. It was quickly starting to feel like the migraine that had been haunting you for most of the day was coming back and sinking its cruel claws into you. 
“Literally anything else that isn’t so depressing.” He bluntly says as he watches you carefully. He doesn’t really complain but he’s never really understood the whole sad comfort movie phenomenon, he’s hoping something a little lighter might be a better distraction.  
“I have my period.” You say as you squeeze your eyes with another grimace, it’s a shoot wave and it feels like it’s poking your ovary. 
“Who directed that one?” He asks as he comes closer to you. 
He immediately knows the grimace and his heart pangs at that, he can tell you’re in pain but it seems like you’re in a state that you can put up with a bit of his humour. He’s hoping that it’ll at least make you smile a little or distract you just a small amount from the searing pain, even if it’s only for a brief minute. 
“I guess you since I’m not pregnant.” You say with a small smirk trying to focus on Stewy’s kind teasing as a distraction. 
“Huh, interesting, I don’t think I remember that one. Who was in it?” He questions, as he kneels down on the floor next to where your face is on the sofa. You chuckle a little, the smile feels nice but the small laugh does send another shooting pain up your side and you gasp at that before you’re able to respond. 
“Well, not you since, again, I’m not pregnant.” You try to tease back. 
“Noted.” Stewy chuckles with a small smile as he carefully smooths your hair, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, he pulls your blanket up around you a bit more. “Do you want some peppermint tea baby?”
“Yes please.” You reach for his hand to hold it as he kneels next to you. His hand quickly envelops yours, it’s nice and warm, comforting. But Stewy is always comforting. You wonder for a moment if it would be a better heat pad than your current one or maybe if he could just be an additional one. 
“We’re out of berries.” You sadly whisper as your mind tries to focus on anything but the pain and a priority for you is of course that fruit, it’s one of the only things you feel like you could stomach right now, the chocolate had gotten too sweet far too quickly. 
“We’re not. I’ll make some tea for you and get some, okay baby?” Stewy says as you continue to hold his hand and he strokes your cheek with his thumb, you can’t help but melt into his kind, safe touch. 
“I don’t want to move, and I don’t want you to go.” You groan out as you curl inwards, trying to find some position that isn’t too uncomfortable while internally it feels like your organs and the endometriosis tissue are going off to another war against each other and you already know who has won. 
“I’m not going anywhere. They’re frozen, there’s always an emergency stash for you.” Stewy reassures you as he continues to stroke your face and presses a few more soft kisses onto your head as he becomes more worried at your pain, he often thinks it and he knows you do too but moments like this always surprise at how awful such a common illness can be and he wishes that there was a cure, some magical treatment to completely prevent the flare-ups, that it wasn’t all trial and error and ridiculous potential side effects. 
“Really?” You question, your eyes opening at that. That simple, thoughtful piece of knowledge is without a doubt, the highlight of your awful day. You’re so in love with him and grateful for him. You smile a little bit more at that. 
“Yes… But it’s that bad you don’t want to move?” Stewy asks visibly concerned. As any partner would, he hates seeing you go through this and it always concerns him, how awful it is and that not much can really be done. 
“If I move it eliminates the possibility of the couch swallowing me whole.” You nonchalantly answer. 
It had been a fantasy you’d had when today’s endo flared up, the internal uprising had begun and it was still a very appealing fantasy. You were certain that if the couch did swallow you whole it would be rather soothing and you wouldn’t feel any pain. 
“I guess I skimped out on this couch babe, it doesn’t have that feature. I’m sorry baby. But I did it because I know of your wanting to be couch-swallowed tendencies.” He teases as he continues to stroke your face and you giggle a little at his ridiculous joke. 
Stewy’s many things, ridiculously handsome, intelligent, savvy and witty but he’s also extremely gentle and even goofy. You’re so grateful for him and he’s always this way with you, he’s so loving and you don’t think there’s ever been someone who has seen this all and has continued to show up, to support you and make you feel so loved. You wished this migraine wasn’t here and you could take in his physical beauty and not just his emotional beauty. 
“I’m going to make you some tea and grab the berries, okay baby?” He asks softly in the sweetest voice he has, it’s a voice reserved only for you. It’s literal warm honey to your ears and soul. You nod, he kisses your hand and gets up to head to the kitchen. 
You close your eyes again and snuggle into the blanket more. The couch still hasn’t swallowed you whole, unfortunately, which is surprising considering how large it is. But you suppose that’s a good thing since Stewy’s here now. You listen to the soft patter of his feet that you can hear in the kitchen and him humming as he opens cupboards, and makes the cup of tea. 
After a couple of minutes, he comes back over, placing a bowl of the aforementioned berries onto the coffee table and has 2 mugs in his other hand. You move to try sitting up and he sits on the end of the sofa as he carefully hands you the mug of the warm peppermint tea. It’s so nice and warm in your hands, you take a few sips of it and then a large gulp, wanting the herbal medicinal effects to hurry up and kick in. You hold the warm mug in your hands for a few moments, basking in the heat as Stewy sits next to you with his hand running up and down your back, soothingly tracing gentle patterns across it. 
You lean over to place the mug carefully onto a coaster on the coffee table, you try to stretch a little as you know movement will help but it feels impossible. You then lean back and curl up into Stewy’s side but after a few moments you slink down until you’re lying on the couch again but with your head and part of your upper body curled up into his lap. You close your eyes as you feel the gentle movements of his stomach moving a little with each breath and the warmth of his cosy, signature turtleneck. 
“Do you have a migraine as well honey?” He asks softly and you nod. 
“It’s been on and off all day, like a goddamn ghost haunting me in a haunted house.” You exasperatedly sigh. 
His heart breaks at that and he quickly moves a hand to gently massage at your lower back, he knows it always gets tense and is frequently a source of pain during your flare-ups. But he moves his other hand so that he can gently press a bit of pressure to the pressure point near your temple to try and bring you a bit of relief from your migraine. 
“Is that okay?” He gently asks as he continues. 
You smile at the feeling, of having such gentleness, love and support. Despite the pain and how cheesy it sounds, just his presence is already helping and giving you a bit of comfort during this awful pain. You nod quickly, moving your hand up to give a gentle squeeze to the hand massaging your lower back. 
“Yes sweetie, thank you. I love you so much.” 
“I love you too baby.” He says as he continues with what he’s doing. The film eventually ends and he’s happy about that, he’s silently praying that your next choice might be something a bit lighter or that you’ll be open to a minor suggestion, although he totally respects that not being the case. Today is a day with you and your comfort being the focus. 
You’ve had some more meds and you’re still in pain but you’re feeling a little bit more comfortable with movement and having an extra blanket around you. You sit up for a moment to drink some more of the tea and eat some of the mostly thawed-out frozen berries. There’s something about the cold taste of them that helps during a flare you swear. You look at Stewy and the migraine is definitely currently feeling a little bit better. 
You’re in awe of his gentleness and the way that those deep brown doe eyes of his are looking at you with adoration, even with you looking and feeling absolutely miserable. He’s always been handsome but there’s something even more special about him in moments like this you think. 
“Thank you for-” You start to say before he can cut you off. 
“You don’t need to thank me for this baby.” “But-”
“No, I don’t even want you to try.” He says with a playful but kind smirk on his face as he looks at you. 
You laugh a little and nod. Then lean over to give him a kiss on the lips, it’s soft, gentle, warm and loving. You feel yourself melt into the gentle but brief kiss, and his hands gently rub at your back as he kisses you back softly. It’s a sweet kiss and when you pull away, you place your hand on the side of his cheek, feeling the perfectly trimmed dark stubble of his beard. 
“I really do love you, you know?” You say with a small smile. 
“I know, it kind of helps in these romantic situations.” He teases and you roll your eyes before moving back down to lay in his lap again. “But I love you too baby.” He has a hand stroking your face again and you can feel yourself starting to feel like maybe napping is finally an option. “Did you want a bath?” He asks after a moment of thought. 
“I had one a few hours before you came home.” You answer tiredly. 
“Did you want another one?” He asks in that ridiculously sweet voice that would absolutely melt you if you weren’t in so much pain. 
“Maybe later.” You pause for a moment thinking while in his lap and enjoying being surrounded by him and the warmth from his body, the heat pads, and the blankets. “Did you want to watch Little Women?” You ask a little bit more cheerily. You hear Stewy sigh a little at that.
“I thought you’d never ask.” He’s so glad it’s something a bit happier than Dead Poets Society. “I think I’m more handsome than Laurie.” He says it almost absentmindedly as the film starts. 
“You are.” You immediately agree, he is, without a doubt and always has been, no matter what adaptation you watch. Although the 2019 one is a favourite in this household. “But you are an Amy.”
“What?” He asks in shock. 
“You are!” You respond with a smirk.  
“If you weren’t in excruciating pain right now I’d consider biting you.” He says it mockingly and you giggle a little at that. 
“Are you saying you don’t want to play bitey?” You tease. Knowing that as you’d gotten older that was not a normal game in normal households.
“Well, I know for a fact that you don’t like bitey.” Stewy immediately says, it was a fact, Shiv was always known for taking the game too far. “But I just can’t believe you’d say that baby, that’s cruel. I’m so not an Amy.”

Y/n and jack filmed a sex tape when they where younger or it could be recently and it release to the public and it’s rough sex and everyone is going crazy ??
LEAKED SEX TAPE
A/n: This took a different turn than I expected.
Tumblr media
“It goes nowhere, and no one ever see’s it.” Y/n said sternly to her boyfriend behind her.
“Never mama, on my word, it’s for my eyes only,” He said kissing her neck, “It’s just a little something to inspire me during those lonely nights on tour.” Jack made an obscene gesture with his hand and Y/n smacked him on the arm while laughing.
“Gosh, what level have I lowered myself to.” The young woman muttered to herself, slightly blushing.
“Come on babe” Jack said kissing her shoulder as a hand traveled through her stomach.
“I'm serious Jackman, I never thought I'd be the kind of girl who shoots a Sex Tape with her boyfriend,” she said without taking her eyes off the computer screen. “much less that I would be editing the aforementioned Sex Tape…look what you've turned me into…”
“You weren't complaining when I was making you come for the fourth time on my dick.” He smirked.
“Just shut up Jack.” Y/n pushed her boyfriend's face away from her.
“Okay, I sent it to your cell phone, I will delete it from my camera and computer, so the one on your cell phone will be the only copy, be careful with this shit.”
“Trust me babe,” He said looking into his cell, “this pretty pussy of yours is for my eyes only.”
***
“Good…” She was interrupted before she could even finish her greeting.
“Did you open your Twitter today?” Lisa, Y/n's best friend from university, asked as soon as she answered the phone.
“No?” Y/n said confused looking at her bedside clock. “I honestly just woke up, I just got back from the West Coast… What did Jack do this time?”
The last time Lisa turned it on was in the backlash after Jack messed with a videographer's camera setup during a basketball game, his first 'scandal'.
“Babe, I don't even know how to tell you this, but Jack and you are trending…” Lisa said cautiously, leaving Y/n confused.“It's a sex tape, a sex tape of you guys leaked, twitter is full of screenshots, and people are commenting…” Y/n felt his heart flutter, and panic began to rise. “Babe, are you okay?”
Was she okay? What kind of question was that? Of course she was not Okay. Millions of people had seen her naked, not only that, millions of people had seen her having sex with her boyfriend, and it wasn't exactly vanilla sex. Jack had even shot a fucking cream pie.
People had literally seen her pussy leaking cum.
Just imagining the amount of perverts who must have masturbated watching their intimate moment…
“Babe?”
“Of course I’m not okay Lisa, this is an intimate moment of Jack and mine, exposed on the internet for the world to see.”
“It could be worse.” The friend pondered.
“How?” Y/n asked, she threw the covers away from her body and got up off the bed heading towards the table where her computer was.
“Well… It could be another guy fucking you silly… It could be another girl getting fucked… it could always be worse.” Just Lisa to create the possibility of an exposure of treason to lessen the severity of the situation in case.
Y/n gave a light laugh. “I'm going to hang up, I need to see what’s going on, and I'm going to call Jack.”
“Okay babe, but don't sweat, you look hot, shame on whoever leaked it.” Lisa said. “Love you, stay strong.”
“Thank you for the support, love you.” She hang up her cell phone, throwing it on the table in case Jack called.
She first searched for the video, she wanted to know what had been leaked to understand the context of the twitter comments.
Y/n was relieved to see that the video wasn't in its entirety, whoever leaked it had only leaked fifteen minutes of the two-hour long sex tape.
It was basically Jack performing oral sex on her, a brief missionary, before he fucked her hard and silly from behind, they kept the cream pie shot with her on all fours and ended after Jack slapped her on the ass calling her a 'good girl'.
She was humiliating.
To think how many acquaintances had possibly watched that.
Her family. Professors. Childhood friends. Possible employers.
On Twitter people were going crazy.
Many commented on the considerable size of Jack's dick, memes were not only on Twitter but on instagram as well. Some people commented on the difference in physical stature between them—Jack is tall, big news—. Most were surprised at the roughness of the sex between them—Jack is indeed an alpha in bed, was one of the comments she read.
Of course there were the slut-shaming comments, and the fan comments of him offending her for the simple fact that she was the girl in the video with him, but the general consensus is that most of them would like to be in her place.
Her cell phone rang, Jack's picture appeared on the screen.
“Hey.”
“You’ve already seen it.” It wasn't a question, he knew her just by the tone of her voice. “I was going to call you earlier, but I just got out of a meeting with my legal team.”
“Do you know how it leaked?” She asked, the only copy of the video was on Jack's cell phone, which limited the possibilities.
“They hacked my iCloud,” Jack sighed clearly stressed, Y/n could already imagine him running his hand through his hair. “Apple is collaborating in the investigation, and the lawyers are already moving, all the sites that published the video have already received a letter to take the video down… fuck, sweetheart, I’am so sorry…”
“It wasn’t your fault.” She rolled her eyes.
Yes, a part of her blamed him, a little bit, he could have been more careful, he could have deleted the video, but he hadn't been the one who had leaked it.
“What are you doing now?” Jack changed the subject.
“I had just woken up when Lisa called me with the news, but I think I’m going to order ice cream, and hide in my apartment for the rest of the day, at least for today.” Y/n sighed thinking of all the classes she would miss, and she would have to call sick at work… Thankfully her boss was the coolest.
“I really didn't want you to be having to go through this alone.” Jack said regretfully, it was at moments like this that long-distance relationships sucked. “I wish I could be there.”
She also wished he could be here.
***
She was binge watching GoT—and suffering, apparently all the characters she liked died, and she was only in season two—she just hoped Robb wouldn’t die, because… curls, and Richard Madden sometimes reminded her a little of Jack, so it was safe to say she was emotionally invested.
She was already on the second pint of Ben&Jerry’s ice cream when the doorbell rang.
She was pretty sure she wasn't waiting for anyone.
“May I help?” She said into the intercom without abandoning her ice cream.
“Special delivery for Y/n Y/l/n.” Y/n immediately recognized the voice and accent. She flung open the door, she could hardly believe he was here, the young woman rushed downstairs, and barely opened the door before throwing herself at the sweatshirt-clad figure.
“If this is the reception I'm going to get whenever I show up here, I'm going to have to show up more often.”
“What are you doing here?” She asked, clinging to him like a koala.
“I couldn't let my girlfriend mopping by herself, we were supposed to be together right now, we're both in that video.”
“Yeah, but I'm being slut-shaming, you're the guy with the big dick.” The couple laughed together.
“What are we going to watch?” He asked carrying her into the building.
“I'm watching GoT.” She informed him.
“Um, I never finished…”

modern au hcs i have about the salt lake crew cuz why not i felt like sharing:
abby's secretly into cosplay but she won't admit it; manny's celebrity crush is sza; nora's a "no shoes in the house person" (she almost stabbed owen when he came over for a group get-together); mel's lowkey a disney adult and its adorable (her fav film is frozen); owen and jordan are both filmbros but in different ways - owen's the annoying kind (yk the kind 🙄) while jordan is genuinely passionate about films and film history and gives fun facts during movie nights; nick makes tiktok stitches like this one https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT88SYgkG/ ; leah's one of those drunk girls who hypes up other girls in bathrooms, like she'll see a pretty black girl with gold charms in her hair and start crying cuz she's so beautiful (abby & nora had to drag her out)
this is one of the cutest asks I've ever gotten oh my god? lemme expand on your beautiful thoughts. while I have beef with the salt lake crew, I also appreciate them and I think, had we started with them, we would have all loved or tolerated them.
abby + cosplay is so full of possibility omg. I imagine it started as an appreciation for cosplayers because she thought it was super cool! and then slowly. she started doing outfits inspired by her favorite characters. and then recreations. and then next thing she knows, she's dragging Manny to comic con to be her lil protector/buddy while she dresses up as Spiderman, or Junker Queen, or Samus. she has literally had craft nights where the crew helps her work on her cosplays. mel is the best at it, helping her form foam armor pieces. owen is passable only because he has experience building and fixing shit (the boat). Jordan is laughably bad any it but he tries <3
manny's celebrity crush is Sza AND Kali Uchis. He genuinely thinks he could pull them and, honestly, maybe he could. but abby loves telling him they're out of his league (they kinda are). he has like, Pete Davidson rizz. if that makes sense.
Nora is 100% a no shoes in the house girl. it's how she was raised! her house is fucking Pristine, man, which is honestly such feat because girly is a busy ass nursing student. and you're right about Owen! shit head wears shoes inside houses WITH CARPET. I will say rn, it's pretty much impossible to not wear shoes inside the house in my place bc we have two dogs, but we have tile so it's not as bad. however with carpet? evil. vile. Owen and his nasty ass nike sneakers tried to step onto Nora's pristine cream carpet and she nearly smacked him with a pair of tongs that had just came out of hot oil. as she should. he learned, and has never tried it again (mostly because Mel reminds him every time)
Disney adult Mel!! I know Disney adults get a lot of hate, but I feel like she'd be really sweet about it. like whenever she wants to go, she offers to pay for the others food and stuff, if they can't, she always brings them little gifts. like pins and stuff, shirts, ears, plushies!! she has a special pair of mickey ears that a frozen themed, Owen got them for her on her birthday <3 (this is me taking my powers as a writer to turn Owen into an actually good partner for Mel and not a piece of shit <3). one time, Mel got Abby to disneybound Gaston and it was so cute!! she has disneybounded as Anna and she looks so cute in it <3
the filmbros. oh god. Owen is 100% the type of guy to love Quentin Tarantino films and think they're the peak of cinema, all the while hating Jennifers Body. Jordan however, king, he loves Jennifer's Body and 100% listened to Leah and Nora spend like three hours talking about the nuances of girlhood and queerness in the movie. Definitely watched and appreciated Barbie with them, even dressed up in all pink! borrowed some of Leah's clothes to do it <3 he loves channels like Dead Meat, because I feel like he especially likes horror movies? will defend the slasher genre with his life, hates torture porn movies. big fan of sleepaway camp!
I don't know much about nick but I can say this is accurate, I feel like he also does those videos reacting to weird white people recipes? like how long does it take for them to add a block of cream cheese to the crock pot, or the weird obviously fetish content ones? and he just makes this really stoic disappointed face like. fr.
drunk girl Leah!! I imagine the salt lake crew occasionally goes clubbing, and you're so fucking right about Leah. they all get kinda tipsy, but Leah takes two shots of vodka and starts falling in love with every fem presenting person in the building. gives the good compliments too. how beautiful they look in the party lights, the shine of their hair, the twinkle of their eyes, the highlighter! the outfit! is literally fawning over every fem person she sees and Jordan is just like yeah go ahead. mostly because he knows she loyal and also, she's literally just so cute. disclaimer that it's never in the like, fetishizing wlw for men, Leah literally just compliments every girl she sees ever. especially in the bathrooms! if she sees you crying, she is the first one at your side, offering to beat up whoever made you sad, holding your hand, helping you fix your makeup, the works. drunk girl Leah is a gem to humanity and there are leagues of girls out there whose nights have been saved by this drunken sweetheart. there have been. too many times where abby has had to physically throw Leah over her shoulder to get her out of the bathroom because they need to Leave and she's starting conversations with everyone who walks through the door.
this is so cute!! thank you for this ask nonnie!! and I got your ask about it being duets and not stitches <3

I disagree with your chan headcannon
But I like your other headcannons so can I for macau headcannons if you don't mind
😂 well the good news is that i’m in the fandom minority with my “Chan is loyal to Korn only” camp and rarely ever post about him, so keep asking me about brothers and we'll be delighted together
and yes!!! MACAU MY DARLING BOY!!! i love him SO much, but i will limit myself to only three (3) headcanons for him on this post in a futile attempt to keep it from getting too long
Macau & Kim
his favorite way to piss Kim off is by making club mixes of chinese drama OSTs. he does this with Kim's actual songs too after those start rolling out, but this feud began long before they started posting to social media. Macau also starts off with a larger following for his mixes than Kim does for his covers, and while that eventually plateaus and Kim passes him in their follower counts by the time canon rolls around, Kim is still so fucking bitter. the day Kim starts to let it go is the day Macau posts a video of himself playing hot cross buns on the drama dizi* he stole from Kim years ago.
Macau & Chay
Chay and Macau do Not like each other. i know people like to make them friends, i just don't see it happening without a lot of work first and it's so much funnier to me if they're frenemies. i do love them as online gaming besties tho (before they find out who the other is), because then they both have to live with the mortifying knowledge that Chay once called Macau 'daddy' after he gave him a bunch of turnips in animal crossing, because they are teenagers and teenagers make stupid daddy jokes. any inclinations of trying to be friends because Porsche and Vegas are friends dry up faster than water on a hot pan after that.
Macau & Pete & Vegas
you know what's a great way to bond with brothers and in-laws? movies. you know what's the worst leisure activity to do with Pete and Vegas? WATCH MOVIES. every action scene is scrutinized and criticized and Pete keeps rewinding the same three seconds to mock the character's kick stance. any murder scenes are WORSE. Vegas hates romances and hates ballads. the only things not totally infuriating to watch with him are cooking shows and home improvement shows and the occasional gardening show and yawn. Pete's tastes are much broader thanks to Khun, but he also comes with so many opinions on how to properly watch shows and Macau doesn't actually want to dress up every time they watch a horror film.
so movie nights are almost a bust. they do find some movies they're all into, but it's usually an exercise in frustration. but then, one day while they're queuing up a film they're only 37% sure on, Pete's grandma calls with the hot town gossip--"do you remember Kobb Pete? yes, the nice old man who runs the fruit stand, remember how he gave you a mango on your first day of school and you dripped all down your new uniform? well, you'll never believe what's happened, you know how Kobb passed his stand down to his son Mew and Mew was training up his son Mod to take over one day, except they got into a fight on how to best display the pineapples and papayas and they had a fight, yes, right there in the middle of the road, and Mew fired his son, but Kobb backed Mod, so they opened a rival fruit stand with Mew's wife, but Kobb's wife sided with Mew and got the neighbors involved, and--"
it takes grandma forty minutes to regale the tale of the on-going fruit vendor feud. then she continues to update Pete on the rest of the hometown for another three hours. Macau and Vegas are enthralled. how often does your grandma tell you things Pete, can we be there for the next one, what's the full story behind the thing with Folk's fishing boat, why did you ask grandma if Sine's husband was in the garden--
listen, small town drama is the best drama. and Vegas is having a journey to discover which mafia things are things he likes vs which ones he forced himself to like to survive, and being a nosy cunt sniffing out all the juicy scandals is absolutely something he takes to with glee (he will become grandma's favorite when they visit, they are terrifying together). Macau just loves hearing all the petty drama and neighbors feuds that result in increasingly passive aggressive displays of garden gnomes instead of gunfire. movie night becomes grandma call nights and it's the best family bonding.
*inspired by Jeff buying one of the Wei Wuxian's flutes and the fact that he reportedly learned how to play it because he's a big ol' cql nerd ❤❤❤ this is also a reference to @majestictortoise's fic Middlegame, which everyone should read if they haven't yet and reread if they have
Send an ask, get a headcanon (prev: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

Hi EvansBlues, Red Flower Here,
I'd like to come back and share some new messages with you.
I don't know why, but I'm told that what's happening with the CE case is something karmic but on a grand scale. It's not just him, he's doing a job for others. What happens to him will help others. In his profession, but also for his fans. His inability to say no and suffer when he could have avoided it will save others. It's something he's inherited from his past lives. There's a very high notion of sacrifice in him. Like if it happens to me, let's hope it doesn't happen to others…
He's very lonely at the moment, and even though I can feel a lot of people benefiting from what's happening to him, he feels empty and hopeless. He has trouble seeing the future clearly, he wants to do lots of things but feels stuck. He struggles in the mud.
He knows there's someone out there for him, but he tells himself he's been waiting too long. He doesn't understand that he can only reach her when he has raised his energy so that the meeting can take place. Even if their energy is very connected in 5D, when he's asleep or in contemplation he says to himself : but where is she ? Why isn't she with me yet ? We're supposed to be together, but I can't see her ! There's impatience, anger and resentment. I catch a song last night, it said :
If I laid down my love to come to your defense Would you worry for me with a pain in your chest? Could I rely on your faith to be strong To pick me back up and to push me along?
you'll be there in my hour of need You won't turn me away Help me out of the life I lead Remember the promise you made
It's an 80's song by the band Cock Robin.
This is exactly what he's going through ! But it's necessary, it has to change. It's hard, but it's the only way he can learn to be the person he wants to be. He has to stop hiding behind a persona. It's by being himself that he'll be a better actor but also a better person.
N.B : I'd like to add something because I feel it could benefit those who read it. To raise your vibration and manifest a more harmonious life : self care is the key ! whenever you're feeling down or something is wrong in your life. Listen to music that makes you feel good, watch a film that makes you laugh (joy is one of the most beneficial emotions for manifestation), read a book you like. Eat a dish that awakens your taste buds. In short, live your senses to the full. If you need to isolate yourself, don't ask permission, just do it. It's in solitude that we often receive messages from our soul. When you walk, do sport, even wash the dishes… it's a meditative state that allows you to receive messages from your guides. So love yourself, give yourself the love you want to be given. And the change you desire will appear effortlessly.
Thanks a lot EvansBlues !
Namaste. Infinte Gratitude :)
You hit the nail on the head red flower. I’ve gotten two songs lately: Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls for him and Savior by Rise Against for her, although when I thought of the song the lyrics for Prayer of the Refugee started playing in my head so something is shifting.
Thank you for sharing. This space is always open for you.

PLEASEEE TALK ABOUT YOUR BRAY DYNAMICS I NEED MORE OF THEM IN MY LIFE
GAH OKAY OKAY ILL TRY MY BEST TO EXPLAIN
so basically, it starts during the movie filming, which i have taking place at the start of the school year in the fall. as things with the operator start up, it sort of brings alex and tim and seth together, leaving brian and jay to start gradually getting to know each other. by the time filming is over, they consider each other really good friends. they spend all of summer break getting closer, practically moving into each other's respective houses with how much time they spend together. by the start of the next fall semester, brian and jay are inseparable. its just common knowledge that theyre attached at the hip.
but then, brian accidentally gets involved with the operator. he knows that its putting his other friends in danger, so he creates a secret identity as the hooded man to try and protect them. he starts off making videos on a channel called Intermission, warning alex and tim and seth and anyone else to stop going to rosswood. later he steals alex's tapes with proof of the operator on them, hoping to get evidence and keep alex from digging deeper. however, almost by accident, jay ends up finding some of those stolen tapes and stealing them as well.
Jay then creates his skully identity, which he posts on a channel called Declassified Surveillance. he documents all these tapes hes found, then of course, starts hunting for more. Jay and Brian don't know that each other are behind these alter egos, and still believe them to be totally uninvolved with the operator. So, soon, just to make sure Jay is staying safe, Brian uses his Hoody identity to start watching him. Keeping an eye on him through Jay's bedroom window for hours every night. Jay catches on though, spotting the hooded man one night, and realizing that this Intermission youtube channel not only knows who Jay is, but has an interest in him.
Soon after, Jay does the same as Skully, peeking in through Brian's window to watch his best friend/crush. Skully and Hoody eventually meet as well, forming an alliance and a shaky companionship. Brian and Jay both have feelings for each other, but Brian doesn't want to date Jay while he has the operator to worry about. So for the time being, he just enjoys the cuddles and compliments that Jay gives him.
Okay well. then things get a little more intimate and not so safe for tumblr. FHDGKJDFH i can detail that out later perhaps. but the end dynamic is basically this: brian has entered full on obsessed stalker level. he and jay are completely in love with each other, and are falling for skully and hoody respectively after many a intimate night spent together. theyre all crazy about each other and obsessive and little stalkers that would probably kill if they saw someone else getting flirty with the other. and i love them

I recently took a trip to my hometown to pick up my cat. I ended up staying for a couple days because my family was having a small dinner, nothing fancy. Usually when I go to my hometown, I'm very bored. There's not a whole lot to do in my hometown, especially since all my friends were away also. I should've brought my laptop or switch because I only brought two books, Don Quixote and Against Interpretation and I couldn't read for more than 3 hours at a time. I also wasn't in the mood to watch a film. So, usually I am very bored. I mostly play guitar or more recently banjo. I scream and shout at the top of my lungs, which I imagine must annoy the neighbours but they have never complained. Obviously, I perform these two acts together.
But I also spend a lot of time thinking, as I also cannot sleep in my hometown. It's too quiet and my pillows are too hard. So, I spend a lot of time thinking. Why am I the way I am? Why am I the queer one in my family? (besides certain exceptions). Why am I the empathetic one? Why am I so radically different from everyone else in my family? Not a single person in my family has ever pursued an art, besides wedding photography. I was raised in the same environment, went to the same schools, taught the same ideals. Mind you, I had different friends and I was definitely involved in different social spaces but even then I am quite different from my old friends.
I always realise, my hometown is full of cynicism and pessimism. I was also full of these qualities when I lived there. I wouldn't say people are unhappy there, (though some obviously are) I would say they're sick. It's reeks of post-Thatcherite depression, but unlike other areas where they've built up from this, the town has stagnated. People are born there, they move around a little, they move back, then they die in the same hospital they were born in. I can't imagine a more depressing fate. Everyone wants to escape, lots end up returning because it's all they know. Ironically, it's an migrant town. Everyone who lives there isn't from there, at least originally. Mostly Scottish people, but over the last twenty years, lots of people migrated from Eastern Europe. I wonder why they chose the town. I know why the Scots chose it originally, but what does it offer now.
It also doesn't help there's not a whole lot to do. Whilst I do admit, there's some things (a cinema, swimming pool, lots of green spaces), there's nowhere for you to discover yourself, by that I mean discover arts. There's plenty of sporting opportunities in the area. Besides the cinema (which I do admit is relatively cheap), there is one other arts space. There's an arts centre, hidden away in the towns centre. There's no advertising for it, nor is there much on. It's also difficult to find if you don't know where it already is. Most importantly, there is no music scene. Whilst there is a yearly music festival (though I'm not sure it still exists), there is no music. The best you will hear are old rockers still playing the shitty pubs they grew up in and the bellowing of the bagpipes behind the hearse. Now, I remember there used to be a venue in the town. It was an actual venue, people actually attended. Though it was shut down many years ago, I can't remember why but I think it was to do with costs. Which is crazy cause the venue rent shouldn't have been high due to the placement of it. Sometimes, there's still the one off gig in the building but it's once every couple years, for those who are nostalgic for it perhaps.
My point being, there's a little to do in the town. But no one can afford it. I couldn't afford it, I used to get free cinema tickets cause my friend worked there. I still do, at a different cinema. Same friend. People need to express themselves, I believe the town is improving in that regard but the town genuinely has an opportunity to become a cultural hub. The council is so incompetent and the mayor is a right twat. The people would have to do it. It also doesn't help that when local elections happen, the town always votes labour. But labour never wins because the surrounding villages are included in the votes. So conservative wins. I think if the town had a larger variety of things to do, it would be a much happier, empathetic place. But, perhaps I'm being naïve, perhaps an idealist. I suppose you always want the places you lived in to be better, I suppose only I can implement these ideas. Even if it's just be spreading them.
P.S. It also doesn't help that since leaving the EU most smaller towns have struggled due to the weak policies the British government has implemented to help the growth of these towns. Essentially, the way I understand it is, when we were in the EU. Money made in the bigger cities, a portion of it would be taken out and spread to smaller communities in the UK so the towns and villages wouldn't be crushed under the heel of the ever growing cities. Whereas now, that fund is significantly decreased. Hence small towns in Britain becoming more and more run down.
All we have time for is drinking, screwing and dancing. For it's all we can afford to do.

'He starred in one of the year’s most profoundly moving films, All of Us Strangers, and won praise for bringing Uncle Vanya to the London stage. Now Andrew Scott continues an impressive run of work by giving audiences a fresh take on one of the most iconic characters of them all.
Since US novelist Patricia Highsmith first brought Tom Ripley to life in a series of novels, the shrewd criminal and con-artist has enthralled readers and audiences alike.
Over the years, actors including Alain Delon, John Malkovich and Matt Damon have brought Ripley to the screen. Now the Dublin actor takes a deep dive into Ripley in a new series for Netflix - and characteristically makes the role his own. Not only does Scott take on an American accent for the role - impressively, he learned to speak Italian to play the character, who moves to the Mediterranean in the late 1950s.
“I had a wonderful Italian teacher and learned it for three or four months before we started just so you could understand it. It's a beautiful language to speak. And then of course, when you're around it, you become more interested in it," says Scott.
“It's one of the things you have to get used to a little bit as an actor - you've got to become really adept at something for a particular period, and then you have to move on to something else. I love that about acting, actually. But I'll try to keep it, I'm going to go back to Italy this year.”
Scott has given us a Ripley for the ages in the suspenseful series. It’s written and directed by Steven Zaillian, whose previous screenwriting credits include Schindler’s List, The Irishman and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
Zaillian brings Hitchcockian levels of tension to the storytelling, shot in black and white and striking in its attention to detail.
“It's the most extraordinary character and we spend so much time inside his mind and inside his world,” says Scott of taking on Ripley. “I think that's what's remarkable about it. Sometimes in a television series where there's eight hours of this, it might be about a couple, or a police department, or a family, or a hospital. This is really based on one person. We spend so much time with this guy, the character's in 95% of the eight hours, that's an awful lot of time to spend with one character.
“And so the challenge of it is to not blot the copybook too much in relation to how wonderful the mystery of the man is, as well as what we do know about him, which is that he is an enduring character that people love. But I think the questions about him, and his mysteriousness and his secretiveness, are a reason that he's so fascinating to play.”
Understandably, he opted not to watch other performances depicting Tom Ripley, though he had seen Alain Delon in Purple Noon and Matt Damon in The Talented Mr Ripley years previously.
“I love both those versions for different reasons. It's happened before in relation to Shakespearean characters, you think: ‘Oh, I don't want to see that’. You want to be able to put your own stamp on it.
“I was very lucky because I received the full eight hours of scripts, a big pile of scripts to read, which is very unusual for an actor. You usually get maybe one or two episodes. I had the whole thing mapped out and I knew immediately how extraordinarily written they were and sparsely written.
“I love the film noir-ish element to it. It's absolutely exquisite to look at and I love the opaqueness of playing this character. It felt like a real departure for me.”
The series was shot in New York and various glamorous locations throughout Italy including Rome, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Palermo, as Scott’s Tom Ripley travels to Europe to seek out an old acquaintance, the wealthy and privileged Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn).
As a boy, a shy Scott took up acting classes and quickly fell in love with the craft - playing the Tin Man in one of his first ever performances.
Years later, he went on to star in several Irish dramas including Jimmy’s Hall and Handsome Devil. He gave us the villainous Moriarty in a TV adaptation of Sherlock and the legendary ‘hot priest’ in Fleabag.
“I think we all as human beings want to do something that's of use to other people,” he says of his career. “You want to do something that's useful in the world. I suppose I appreciate more now, how much this can be of use to people, and how it genuinely helps.
“I do feel like I try to force myself sometimes into appreciating that what I do can be of use to people and it's not a frivolous thing, because I know that actors and artists of all different persuasions have really helped me.”
There have been many memorable screen performances from the Irish actor, but theatre is at the very heart of what he does, and his recent successes include an award-winning run of Vanya, which also screened widely in cinemas.
“It's just like injecting the atmosphere straight into your veins,” he says of live performance. “You don't wait around - you're the chief artist, if I'm honest, as an actor. In the theatre, you're in charge.
“If the audience is getting bored, it's your job to pick the pace up, it's your job to be sort of all seeing, and there's nothing like that. If you don't exercise those muscles, you lose them and I don't want to lose them. I find it just the purest form of storytelling. Vanya was exhilarating, and exhausting, and all the things.”
Scott brought audiences one of the finest screen performances of the year in All of Us Strangers, which audiences are falling in love with on streaming services following its successful cinema run. He and his friend and co-star Paul Mescal entertained fans with their banter while publicising the film.
“It's been extraordinary,” says Scott of the film’s reception. “I’m still processing that actually, how affecting the film was for people. I suppose I understand for my own personal reasons more now why it affected people so much.
“I did that project with people that I really love - Paul especially. And when we brought it back to Ireland it was completely magical for both of us. It was very, very special. I'm very grateful to have just been part of it, not just the film, but the process and the reception and everything about it.”
Ripley comes to Netflix from Thursday, April 4. www.netflix.com/Ripley.'

About to watch "After Yang" (2022)
I feel like it'll end in tears and I'll regret it (spoiler alert: I loved it wholeheartedly)
But anyway, for those who don't know it's about family who's android Yang, which was a "Chinese sibling" to their adopted daughter, shut down. It's not a spoiler, I mean it's in the description.
A list of things I'll update as I watch:
In this world child-androids are sold by this corp Brothers&Sisters. Yang isn't exactly a child model, more like older teenager.
Repair is quite difficult and it's illegal to open android's "core", which by law should only be handed to the official provider.
It is believed that this way, after receiving this "core", Brothers&Sisters are collecting private information about their customers. Basically, some believe that androids are full of spyware.
Although it's illegal (and making it a law on the first place was quite a lobby thing done by Brothers&Sisters), of course some people are trying to fix androids by their own.
Androids in this world start to decompose soon after their shut down if not repaired, as they're mostly organic, although they don't exactly age.
Voice assistants are also pretty popular and sound human-like. It is mentioned to be possible to turn dead android into a voice assistant.
While androids are still like posessed property at the same time they're also acknowledged as a life form and called techno-sapiens.
It has only been 40 minutes and I'm already on a verge of tears here. It's one of those quiet sentimental movies that feel personal.
I like how elegantly high-tech is shown in this movie, like videocalls that make it look like the other person is sitting across the table with you as you two are having a dinner or glasses that allow you to watch a movie as you put them on, but what just look like regular glasses. Most of the magic is done with logically-sound montage with no actual need for a lot of special effects. Like there are no heavy cyberpunk gamer-comuter-neon-lights aesthetic attached to it, and I honestly love it. It was the similar way in "Her". This way, although simple, it looks actually more believable.
Man, I knew I'll be sobbig, but I didn't expect it to be when it's more that half an hour more to go
Also, the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, "What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly."
The way this film is put together is just majestic
One more dialogue to share
F: Did Yang ever struggle with being a techno?
A: What do you mean?
F: I mean, did he ever...want to be human?
A: *chukle*
F: What?
A: Nothing. It's just... That's such a human thing to ask, isn't it? We always assume that other beings would want to be human. What's so great about being human?
I knew I'll cry watching this movie but nothing could have prepared me to be in tears for the majority of screen time. I won't spoil things for anyone who'd want to watch it, but I'll just leave a timecode when I completely lost it:
1:19:41
^This is the moment I just started bawling as I realised^
This movie is absolutely amazing, it's kinda similar to "Her" 2013, but more quiet and sad. But it's not depressing or anything, maybe even on the contrary, it's just really really touching.
