my take on yueki's personalities

yue

notes / personality

cocky (but also like understated confidence - r e g a l af)

kind of a nerd

maybe a little entitled, and a little bratty and suki loves to indulge her or to rile her up depending on her mood

books

seems soft but made of steel

strong sense of duty

socially intelligent - can be manipulative and suki (the dork) thinks it is so hot

aloof queen bee typa beat

supportive, both in ur day to day and in going after your big moral life goals

deep water - steady and powerful, often underestimated

untold depths, private yet surprisingly nurturing - master of deflecting away from herself

political nerd - well read, and when she has someone she trusts not to take advantage of her, she goes OFF

distrusting of most people, has been used and ignored and underestimated her whole life

patient - homegirl knows how to play the long game

excellent at pai sho / chess

she and suki have epic battles of wits - dif types of strategy but both are really into it and get a little too competitive (multiple board games have had to be replaced over the years)

loves travel bc wasn’t allowed to much, esp when she was sick

was super repressed growing up - never let her be herself or really have any sort of independence

used to sneak out and wander around in rebellion and casually sabotage plans and decisions she didn’t agree with

introverted, many opinions but keeps them to herself, discreet but well spoken

weaponizes secrets and information - doesn’t often use it but...she could

definitlyyyyy worries and overthinks and re-evaluates - worries ab social politics a lot

obsessive about picking things - wants it to be perfect

shes growing into her confidence as a leader

prefers quite intimate places

incredibly romantic

classic lit

planner for the future - visionary

kind / sweet / gentle - yes, but that’s also her “front” to a degree (seriously, i feel like she gets painted as so sweet and submissive and one dimensional by the fandom a lot of times and it freakin kills me)

INFJ-T (The Advocate) ((yes this is from 16p which i know is not super accurate but u can still catch her overall vibes from it ya know)

Creative/insightful/principled/compassionate/altruistic

sensitive/reluctant to open up/perfectionist/prone to burnout/not a fan of the ordinary

friendships / relationships

(<> indicates that they’re one of her best friends)

sokka - puppy love crushes, laugh ab it now, get into deep late night talks about responsibilities and leading, water tribe culture, prank wars (no one believes sokka when he says yue is a mean prank master (expect suki comes to see it in action lol))

katara - <> badass women friendship, totally would go to matches and protests together, tough girl shit, waterbending practice/duels - start of cautious, but then get rough in a good way bc they trust each other, they do water tribe food adventures together

toph - indulges her chaos, bonding over stupid royal upbringings, odd yet weirdly endearing pair

zuko - both sort of standoffish gay royals, but once they come to see that they are friends - take up similar spaces though, so only hang out in a group or rarely by themselves, they do hang out at like political parties and stuff when they get more comfortable together

aang - <> he has an impressive world view, yue is super studied and well read, so she and aang nerd out over past cultures together, and also their peace keeping nature, they have tea together often - usually after she and katara wipe the floor w/ each other

clothing / aesthetic:

blues and pale colors

classy and understated wealth

like those cute feminine button down shirts

dresses

like cold weather classy

complicated braids

sort of soft girl aesthetic?

pleated skirts !!!

i feel like she would wear ethically sourced fur (i don’t wear fur but idk how to get it in an ethical way - maybe it’s just fake??)

knit sweaters and skinny jeans and heeled ankle boots

light academia !!!

hella funky earrings - to mark her native pride and also cuz gay

from my readings, tattoos have a lot of cultural significance for Inuit women, and so i feel like yue would totally have some (when she comes of age ofc)

suki

notes / personality

extroverted

also very strategic

more spontaneous tho - will totally calculate the odds in a spilt second in her head and then just go for it

like still a careful planner, but willing to say fuck it, yolo if it seems right

reflects on her mistakes, but more in like a healthy way - unless it was a leadership mistake, then it eats her up inside - worries more ab keeping her girls safe and making the right call

likes lively places

total bashful romantic

manages the present and the short term - realist

loves to do lists

a little punch happy - loves to make violent threats, but also does it out of excitement and she’s just a really physical person tbh

steady, can come off as stubborn and abrasive but she really just wants what’s best for everyone she loves

harsh on herself and worries about her girls a lot

always ends up in the oddest situations

totally would kick someone’s ass for being racist/sexist/homophobic/etc

dedicated to her training and her regime

not a great cook, but she can manage

would drink monsters

has a weird relationship with femininity - took her awhile to reconcile strength and toughness and being assertive and aggressive with also wanting to feel pretty and feminine and embracing being a girl and how those things can coincide and amplify each other

abandonment issues - parents absent/dead

was imprisoned - obvi she had several almost successful escape attempts, but she got really close to breaking

was incredibly independent really early, grew up really fast and tries to make up for that now by sometimes being reckless

tough/assertive/woman of action

dry sense of humor/sarcastic - not good at nickname/pun humor tho

practical/dedicated/strong-willed/direct/honest/reliable/loyal/patient

stubborn/judgmental/difficult to relax/difficulty expressing emotions/too selfless

friendships / relationships

(<> indicates that they’re one of her best friends)

sokka - <> man they’re like platonic soulmates - she beat him up, and now they spar all the time, totally funny and crack jokes all the time, go skating together, they do shitty art together, and then show their lovers after zuko and yue come back from their high society mixers, broke her out of prison, m/f friendship !!!

katara - also sparring buddies (suki will throw down at any literally moment (and tbh so will katara)), not close but will hang in a group - go to each other for advice

toph - <> listen these two wreak havoc together, they help each other out a lot, i feel like they’re shopping buddies (similar enough style to frequent the same shops) toph knows suki won’t judge her for wanting to feel pretty and suki knows toph will be honest, they are both blunt sarcastic assholes and get along like a house on fire

zuko - <> shows zuko how to like,,,enjoy things (and how to let go of some of that pressure to be always right and the adult and in charge bc they were raised with so much responsibility on their shoulders even tho they were just kids)? she is also super protective of him (once she trusts him), one of the only ppl who can match suki fully in hand to hand combat, both do the Disappointed Parent Look when the group falls into chaos, but by themselves, the two of them end up in hijinks

aang- suki enjoys his optimism and they’re just chill bros, they love exploring abandoned placed together

clothing / aesthetic

sporty and skater mixed

ripped jeans, crewnecks, vans

green and yellow and dark red

gym clothes/athleisure - lifting style gym clothes - cut off t-shirts and bike shorts

skirts too, likes to play into femininity

she’s a gold jewelry kinda girl - but stuff that won’t hinder her movements

necklaces that end in the hollow of her throat & occasionally rings

definitely cuffs all of her jeans (it’s just bisexual culture ya know)

so many crop tops - some came like that, some were more of a diy project

yueki’s relationship!!!

nerd/jock solidarity

feel the burden of responsibility and the weight on their shoulders

they create a safe space between them, full of trust and warmth and vulnerability

yue will read suki sappy passages from poetry books while suki polishes her fans

they slow dance in the kitchen a lot

they get good at ordering takeout - and they have some weird decision making process that only they understand - bc neither of them are great cooks

yue would feel jealous of suki and sokka, if it weren’t for how stupid in love sokka was with zuko and yue can see that suki really only has eyes for her

yue is taller than suki and it amuses her to no end to pick suki up and carry her away from a fight (we all know suki could get away if she wanted to, but when ur hot tall sexy gf throws u over her shoulder,,,,,,u don’t complain)

joke they’ve adopted kataang and zukka, bc they’re all dummies, but in reality every last one of them is stupid LMAO

they love to do each other’s hair and it’s like super intimate and really cute

sometimes it’s these epic elaborate hairstyles and then at other times, they try to see how many ponytails they can fit on suki’s head and how many little braid yue can do

they travel EVERYWHERE

since yue is royalty and suki is her body guard,,,, well i mean, they totally have to see these kingdoms they are doing trade deals with in person

it helps that they're friends with a lot of them

they stay over in everything from camping so they can stargaze to ritzy hotels with hot tubs in the bathroom

yue gives suki rocks she finds on all their travels and suki lines them up on their mantle around the pictures of them in increasingly weird locations

suki loves guarding yue’s meetings bc she gets to watch her absolutely rip a new one into misogynistic old men and it never fails to bring her joy

While yue doesn’t love getting attacked, the ruthless efficiency suki defends her with is like,,,,,stupid attractive

#wow this got long #this is a mix of modern au and canon verse headcanons #but yeah #let these girls have more dimension than just soft uwu gfs #esp yue #yueki #headcanon #atla #yue #suki #yue x suki #wlw #zukka #kataang #sapphic

thoughts on a court of mist and fury *spoilers*

***** lots of spoilers folks *****

- MY GIRL FEYRE IS READING!! SHES READING LIKE REGULARLY AND CASUALLY IM SO PROUD

- RHYSAND MY LOVE I TAKE BACK ALL THE BAD THINGS I SAID IN BOOK ONE AND YOU ARE A BABY THAT NEEDS TO BE LOVED AND PROTECTED AND DESERVE PEACE AND QUIET AND MORE LOVE

- tamlin needs therapy like pronto; we dont stan a unsupportive partner and partner who is unwilling to share pain!! CANCEL TAMLIN 2020

- rhys popping up during the wedding scene was *chef’s kiss* and i noticed that he didn’t “claim” her as he said he would for like three months after everything. i suspect he was being a good person and literally letting her live her life. also for loving someone, tamlin was super chill and just kind of let her go??? idk i thought there would be more of a fight??? when feyre was literally like why are your claws retracting man?? fight for me??? hello??? but then again rhys is definitely more powerful than tamlin and probs some unspoken laws and such between high lords i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ anyways tamlin aint shit

- page 296-298! fucken shook me to my core. that self awareness, that confrontation, she identified the core of everything and it was such a turning point and im just so proud of her!!! She's recognizing her traumas and is healing!!!!!!!!!!

- yeah i immediately ship cassian and nesta; i hope she fucks shit up in the next book 😀 😀 😀 😀

- maybe az and mor are truly the slowest of slow burns ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

- i pictured pollution from good omens as how Amren is suppose to look like

- rhys is such a strong leader and im just -- baby deserves all the love. He's really good at plotting. He really made feyre learn all these things so they can nurture their love but also be a strategic advantage its interesting that even tho theres love there he still treats her like a weapon

- the joy in his rhys eyes when they winnowed into his regular ass town house that feels super lived in. and his friends banging on the door like he isn’t the feared night court high lord that he is. that was so refreshing to see that hes a regular person and not that high lord man who lives in a near empty mansion. he puts on a mask for everyone but he himself is just a regular fae.

- reading about the peace that velaris was able to live through was beautiful. i imagined a city like san francisco with the hills and views of the ocean but kind of like the peace found in super small towns or cities in asia; maybe even some european cities (which is prob where this location is inspired by but i haven’t visited many euro cities). the scenes of ppl dining out, making art and music and just chilling is so lovely esp given our current pandemic. art is so treasured there and im like thats the epitome of a great society isn’t it? being able to do things because you just can without the pain of financial insecurity, civil unrest, etc. i definitely would love and die and for a society like that. its just so wonderful. i was filled w happiness while reading those scenes. :)

- rhys and his inner circle taking feyre out into the town and just being casual. nobody treats them like theyre royalty or anything special. theyre just a regular group of friends who enjoy hanging out. its super nice and nostalgia inducing esp during this pandemic when friends are so far away and not like it used to be.

- when rhys immediately saw how under weight and dead freye looked when she was in spring court -- AND IT WAS THE FIRST THING HE SAID TO HER WHEN HE SAW HER THROUGH THE DOOR WHILE TAMLIN DIDNT FUCKEN NOTICE

- i also take back my frustrations in book 1 when freye always wondering around the grounds in spring court esp during calanmai. i thought it was because the author needed to move the story forward but its just freye. she doesnt sit still and now that shes w rhys, we are seeing soooooo many things about prythian and thats beautiful. tamlin was truly a hinderance huh

- rhys sent her music when she was in the cell in Under The Mountain which was found in velaris. maybe he wasnt risking a lot but he just showed her a glimpse of the forbidden world right under aramantha’s nose holy shit he saved her from destruction!

- when rhys had his nightmare and feyre came to comfort him and kissed him on the cheeks and gave him such tenderness made my heart sing~

- rhys is literally opposite of tamlin is soooo many ways. RHYS DID THINGS OUT OF LOVE, WHILE TAMLIN DID THINGS FOR LOVE. everything from how rhys made sure feyre can grow into who she is meant to be, to how he introduces her to his friends and how he interacts w everyone in his court, how he handles pain, everything is so different than tamlin. tamlin feels pain and just bulldoze over things, doesn’t think about how his actions are hurting others even as he is hurting. he doesn’t talk, he doesn’t share, he doesn’t try to get himself or feyre out of this misery and just sees threats everywhere and hits them. he was also supper passive honestly. no doubt hes riddled w guilt and grief but can’t figure out how to handle it so he uses feyre as his crutch where if he can “save” her he will be free smh

- rhys PAYS feyre!! HE GAVE HER FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AND RESPECT FOR HER WORK!! THE INDEPENDENCE THAT TAMLIN DIDNT FUCKEN GIVE.

- THOSE NOTES THEY SEND TO EACH OTHER SINCE FREYE CAN READ AND WRITE NOW

- Ianthe was sus from the beginning!! i knew it!! although i did bet she was gonna sleep w tamlin on the side. But she's a lot worst so we don't like her either

- the throne room scene was steamy af this time its fine because there was ~consent~ and also because we see the dynamic and growth between the two and how they work together. this was great although I was kind of like pls get a room tho

- RHYS SMILING!!! FEYRE AND RHYS LAUGHING TOGETHER UGH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

- THEY ARE MATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FEYRE AND RHYS FOUND EACH OTHER AND HAD SO MANY SHARED TRAUMAS AND WORKED IT OUT TOGETHER AND GREW TOGETHER AND LEARNED ABOUT EACH OTHERS QUIRKS AND ITS JUST LOVE IN ITS PUREST FORM UGH THAT SCENE WHERE RHYS WAS CRYING AND FEYRE HEATED UP FOOD FOR THE BABY AHH MY HEARTTTTT MY WHOLE ENTIRE HEARTTTTTT IS BURSTING WITH LOVEEEEEE

- LUCIEN AND ELAINE HOLY FUCK WHAT A LEFT FIELDER i hope this is the push that will propel lucien to defy tamlin. going back to the contrast between how tamlin vs his court and rhys vs his court, rhys has a group of unwavering loyal friends and are treated equally esp letting them joke around so much and it feels like a casual group of friends hanging out. tamlin has just as much loyalty from lucien but theres still a power structure that tamlin maintains. luciens words doesn’t have much weight whereas rhys’s friends do. both tamlin and rhys have so much power and sway and similarity in traumas and tragedy but both execute things completely differently. tamlin only wants to upload what he is familiar with, maybe what he thinks his father wants whereas rhys actively tries to think of something better, to change the system regardless of how hard it is.

- tamlin you dumbass. He didn't learn from amarantha. He again let his pride fuck over a bunch of other ppl. He shat on amarantha and fucked over his court. Now he fucked the rest of prythian and human world by bargaining w the king. Smh goodbye tamlin

- I straight up knew the queens were bad!!! I knew they had to be plotting something. The sixth is "ill" my ass.

- LADY OF THE NIGHT COURT LETS GO FEYRE AND WOOWW WE STAN A MAN BREAKING TRADITIONS AND SUPPORTING EQUALITY

- when hybern was destroying velaris. I WAS GONNA THROW HANDS BRO. I'm glad we saw the extend of how powerful feyre could be and how she was clever and we can really see how she's completely different from before. She has bite and fight in her and it's so refreshing!

- how about we let az and cassian live in peace. Those boys had to deal w the blunt of literally everything. from being the only shield in valeris to poison/hurt wings against the king, just beat up all the time 🥺

- suriel is their version of a wikipedia

I read all 600 damn pages in like 2.5 days and I was loving it the entire time! My heart sored when feyre and Rhys were getting close and starting to break down their walls and really connect. This was a truly good enemies to lovers, slow burn tale and the drama is so great. There were good stakes that changes a character and their behavior and a good balance of action and excitement but at the same time so many little moments that let u see the character and how they interact w each other and the world. a lot of big plot moments, slice of life moments, a bit of romance and comedy. overall, an amazing book but super long. thus far this is my favorite book and im hoping the rest of the books can be just as charming and lovely but not too heart breaking. i hope rhys and feyre makes it. i cannot predict what to expect in the other books in the series (isn’t there gonna be 8 books total???)

#amandathoughts #bookthoughts #acotar #acomaf #a court of mist and fury #a court of thorns and roses #book 2 #sarah j maas #acomaf thoughts #i said a lot because this book had so much content #acotr #amandabookthoughts #feyre #rhysand #feyre archeron #feyre x rhysand

potc!au | nct

drink up, me ‘earties (never shall we die)

3 ships, 3 crews, 18 boys sailing the vast atlantic

warning lowkey dark bc potc

TAEYONG: Captain of La Vipère

loves the sea more than anything

has probably sailed more waters than any other pirate (he does own the fastest ship out there)

fears neither death nor life

but has a gentle heart so therefore...too many weaknesses

cares about his crew a lot, especially jaehyun

brilliant swordsman; one of world’s best

it’s mesmerizing to watch him amidst battle bc he fights like he’s dancing

confident & courageous & will face anything head-on

charismatic; ppl are naturally drawn to him

ten’s nemesis; their vendetta against each other is never-ending (though neither is sure how it started)

romantically unavailable bc he’ll only ever be in love with that distant horizon and boundless sea

SICHENG: Quartermaster of La Vipère

taeyong’s most trusted right-hand man

aloof, mysterious; no one rly knows why he’s here or what he wants

ex-british royal navy commander but he left all that behind for the uncharted sea, bc taeyong somehow convinced him

pretty boy

his beauty is literally deadly bc ppl let their guard down around him then lose their lives for it

terrific fighter

doesn’t talk much

can be very cruel if needed (to enemies & crew alike)

extremely disciplined but slowly trying to unravel the navy orderliness that has defined most of his life

TAEIL: Boatswain of La Vipère

loves the ship more than his crew

carefully maintains her so she’s always running at 100%

will probably go down with the ship if she ever sinks

looks harmless but is actually p good with a sword

doesn’t like fighting though

taeyong consults him a lot

experienced & versatile bc he’s worked on many pirate ships before

but for some reason everyone trusts his loyalty to la vipère

has a lot of good stories to tell

loves singing haunting tunes about dying sailors; it sets the crew on edge but his voice is too beautiful to make stop

JAEHYUN: Sailing Master of La Vipère

inexplicably attuned to taeyong’s feelings and desires

prob bc they’ve known e/o since they were little pirate boys

shares his captain’s love for the sea

taeyong trusts him with his life

doesn’t like making empty promises

soft-spoken & gentle

has the face of a heartthrob but doesn’t use it to his advantage

very precise with navigations

seems to always know where taeyong wants to sail before he even tells him

JOHNNY: Master Gunner of La Vipère

chill and laidback; nothing ever fazes him

joined the crew bc he was bored & wasting his life away on land

master gunner for no reason other than that he gets a sick thrill out of bombing other ships to oblivion

he only feels alive during battles; the more chaotic the better

so unsympathetic that ppl think he’s missing a nerve but rly, he’s just perpetually disinterested in everything

can be very charming from time to time depending on his mood

loves thunderstorms & hurricanes

JAEMIN: Surgeon of La Vipère

childhood friends with jeno; they were both orphans living off of scraps in paris

doesn’t talk about it bc they’re kinda enemies now but he worries over him a lot (taeyong knows this but can’t do much about it)

initially joined la vipère to find jeno

adapted well to life as a pirate; anything is better than the starving hell he grew up in

a surprisingly capable doctor even though the only experience he’s had was from treating his and jeno’s cuts & bruises from larceny punishments

very stealthy & nimble

good at stealing

loves his crew members

+++

TEN: Captain of The Black Pearl

taeyong’s nemesis; would kill him but would highkey also fuck him (their relationship is rly twisted & intense idk)

a playful trickster

nothing but snide remarks tucked under his tongue

devil-may-care attitude; little thoughts given for the future

so unbelievably selfish and narcissistic it’s amazing he has a crew at all

but he’s fun!! and clever and charming as hell

can wiggle his way out of any trouble

very good at lying & acting

speaks a lot of languages

legendary swordsman; on par with taeyong

only shows genuine affection when talking about the black pearl

sleeps with countless ppl every time they dock at a port

DOYOUNG: Quartermaster of The Black Pearl

basically in command of the ship bc ten rarely does anything for the crew

smart, organized, well-rounded

revered and somewhat feared by the crew

hides his emotions v well

ppl think he’s heartless but tbh he’s not rly; he’s just good at separating task from feeling

has a soft spot for jeno; thinks the boy is wholly unsuited for this barbaric life

doesn’t seem very invested in piracy (he wants something more but he’s not sure what)

loves the sea at night when everything is calm & quiet

prefers peaceful sailing to battle frenzy but that doesn’t mean he can’t fight well (he’s actually the second-best swordsman onboard after ten)

KUN: Boatswain of The Black Pearl

similar to taeil, the ship is his pride & joy

does a good job overseeing everything on a daily basis

greedy; loves gold more than anything

always the first to locate the treasure hoard on a conquered ship

dreams of being the wealthiest man in the world and thinks piracy is the quickest way to achieving that

everything he does is for his own gain; the crew to him is just another means of aiding him in the bigger scheme

takes care of yukhei the most bc he thinks that kid is their best asset in battles; ppl mistake it for affection but kun would drop him in a heartbeat for even the tiniest materialistic gain

loves rum

JENO: Sailing Master of The Black Pearl

the kindest & most thoughtful boy

very good-looking (his beauty is famous across all the seas; even mermaids fall for his allure)

childhood friends with jaemin; misses him but doesn’t dare to say anything bc if ten ever finds out, jaemin will likely die just so ten can see jeno’s reaction for his own entertainment

not very fond of his captain

only joined the crew bc ten saved him years ago from nearly getting his hand chopped off for stealing (“now, boy, i need me a crew, so what do you say? join me and i’ll consider your debts paid”)

separated from jaemin due to that but fate has her own way and now they’re enemies on sea (he’s not sure if he’s thankful or angry)

has a natural affinity for directions at sea despite having been a parisian street rat his whole life

YUKHEI: Master Gunner of The Black Pearl

epitome of the ruggedly handsome pirate™

crazy fucking bastard

doesn’t know what holding back means

blasts cannons like there’s no tomorrow every time the black pearl engages in battle

loves joking around with the crew

says he adores & would die for everyone but no one knows if he rly ever means it

so reckless w everything he does that it’s a feat he’s still alive

drinks a lot but rarely gets drunk

honestly just wants to live life to the fullest

that’s why he loves being a pirate!! nothing else can give him the same dizzying rush of being alive, knowing he’s always on the verge of death

huge womanizer... always gone the moment they dock, just like ten

JUNGWOO: Surgeon of The Black Pearl

shy & quiet & seemingly innocent

but no one knows of all the shit he’s done in secret to get to where he is today

obviously he’s darker than he comes off as if he’s survived for this long on the sea

ppl always want to protect him and he goes along with it bc false impression is his favorite weapon

so tbh he’s as good of a liar as ten is

pretends to act like an airhead but is acutely perceptive to everyone and everything around him at all times

a highly skilled surgeon; was trained as a pirate doctor’s apprentice since v young

+++

MARK: Captain of The Flying Dutchman

cut his own heart out and locked it away; no one knows where it is or dare to ask

cursed with the ship; can never make port and is doomed to sail the seas for eternity

acts cruel and merciless but is deep down very sensitive

ppl say no one knows love like he has known love

self-destructive, moody

lone wolf; pushes everyone away but somehow his crew is unshakably devoted to him

superior swordsman; second only to ten and taeyong

controls the kraken; the entire sea is envious of him for that

RENJUN: Quartermaster of The Flying Dutchman

ex-british commodore

was so so devoted to great britain like literally exemplar pawn of the empire; would’ve died for his queen with zero hesitation

drawn to ppl who are better than him

which is why he was enthralled by mark during one great battle bt the british navy & the flying dutchman

and then promptly abandoned everything he ever stood for just to follow this boy

has a pride complex where he simultaneously pines after & wants to kill those who’ve bested him

very good with guns & pistols

YUTA: Boatswain of The Flying Dutchman

loves being a ghost-pirate; he was made for the undead life

had an intense affair with sicheng from years ago but was betrayed and nearly hanged for piracy

so now he’s bent on revenge (but some fucked-up part of him is still in love with sicheng) (he’ll never admit it though)

tongue sharper than ten’s bc he always speaks with the intention to hurt

very manipulative

holds grudges

joined the flying dutchman bc it’s the most feared ship on the seven seas & he thinks it’s his best chance at finding & killing those he’s been wronged by (rn primarily sicheng)

despite everything he’s p loyal to mark bc there’s something about cutting one’s own heart out that intrigues him to no end

CHENLE: Sailing Master of The Flying Dutchman

navigates the ship to various locations to collect sailors who died at sea & ferry their souls to the next world

good judgements when it comes to sailing

often climbs onto the crow’s nest to stargaze or watching the rising sun bc they’re the only things that calm him

absolutely devoted to mark bc mark plucked him out of an abusive shanghai orphanage & basically saved his life

has a dark side but is generally a sweet boy

confides in renjun a lot bc he trusts him the most

DONGHYUCK: Master Gunner of The Flying Dutchman

would die for mark in a heartbeat

he’s in love with his captain? maybe?

rude/sarcastic little shit

jack of all trades; very smart but puts 20% effort into everything

disobedient as fuck bc he wants to get a rise out of mark but has never succeeded

sunshine boy on the surface but won’t bat an eyelash when spilling blood

gets a sadistic kick out of firing cannons and pistols

likes playing games with their captives/hostages

good at telling jokes & stories but everyone finds him annoying

JISUNG: Powder Monkey of The Flying Dutchman

suspicious of everything & doesn’t trust anyone

bad at managing emotions & relationships (his captain can relate)

a quick learner; can honestly take over any position on the ship if he wants to

gets along well with chenle but isn’t super close w anyone

his mother tossed him overboard at birth w the intention to drown him but mark saved him by chance

yuta jokes that mark only picked him out of the water bc he didn’t want to ferry another dead soul

he considers his life to be mark’s; 100% at his captain’s disposal

excellent fighter despite being so young

Reminisce | The End

Park Jimin “I found myself falling more in love with you as I grew older.” You and Jimin were childhood best friends until you had to move away. As years passed and you both aged, the separation between your friendship deepen and you never heard from him again. More than a decade passed and you suddenly stumble upon the man who you never stopped thinking about. Genre: angst Word Count: Warnings: explicit language Italics = flashback Prologue | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | the end

after 8 months of not updating, i want to finally conclude the end of this story. thank you for all who constantly reminded me and checked up on this series i really appreciate it bc it shows me that there are still ppl who are interested. through my major writers block, i have to say that i am quite happy with how this all ended.

“Are you going to tell me what it is that hurt you so much that you couldn’t come see me?” Jimin sat in front of you on his bed, his hands twiddling with yours.

“We lost touch, Jimin. As close as we were, we were living separate lives and I wanted to respect yours. You were entering high school at the time and I was just some old friend holding you back from exploring. I liked you a lot, Jimin, so when you began pushing me away.. it hurt me.” Look up, Jimin’s eyes were glossy and rimmed with small puddles.

“Right.. I realized that I was doing that. I never meant to stop calling. I wanted to, I just got distracted by other things. But I never stopped thinking about you, (Y/N). I found myself falling more in love with you as I grew older. When Christmas rolled around, I waited to see if you were flying back. When it was your birthday, I begged Mom to help me mail your gifts.. but even my own mother lost contact with your’s.” A single tear ran down Jimin’s plump cheek.

“You thought about me?” Your voice cracked, shocked by his confession.

“All the time. I could never fully commit myself to a new relationship. I was never fully there because I couldn’t. I was stuck on my best friend.” Your hand slipped from his as the doorbell rang.

He wiped his wet cheeks and got up to answer the door. “What are you doing here?” His voice rang throughout the apartment.

“I need you, Jimin. You make me feel whole. I miss your arms and your chest. I miss you.” A woman’s voice carried with his.

“You can’t be here. Go home.”

“This is my home. It’s our home.”

“No, it’s my home and I need you to go, it’s late.” Jimin was growing angry.

“Fine. I’m sorry. I’ll see you tomorrow. We’ll have lunch or something.” A slam followed her response. He walked into his bedroom with you shocked.

“Were you seeing someone?” You asked softly, your past young self dying inside from jealousy.

“No, (Y/N). But she thinks that I want to be with her and I really don’t. She doesn’t understand that I don’t feel the same and she visits me every week. I tell her every time. I tell her to leave me alone. She’s trying to find the reason to why I don’t want to be with her and she almost found it at first.”

You stared at him, confused. “What do you mean? What’s the reason?”

“If only she came in and checked to see who was in my room. She’d know the reason why I don’t want to be with her.” He held your hand again, glossy eyes soaking you up.

Then it hit you. He meant you. Swallowing the lump in your throat, you drew Jimin in for a hug. “I’ve waited all my life for you to say that you want me the same way I want you. But, Jimin, we don’t live in a fairy tale and you’re a little too late. 13 years late..”

He pulled back and held your face. He searched for answers in your expression, but you remained as blank as possible. “I leave in the next 3 days, Jimin. I don’t know when I’m coming back. I don’t know where life will take me next.”

“So stay. Live here with me, with your dad. This was your life before, the life you loved.” Jimin begged and you’ve never seen this side of him before.

“You didn’t beg this desperately when I left 13 years ago..”

Jimin rolled his eyes and his hands let go of yours, “because that was out of your control. Now, you’re an adult and making your own choices, kiddo.”

You had forgotten how smart and witty Jimin was. You always use to believe that he was smarter because he was older, but it was actually because Jimin was just academically excelling.

“No, you can’t take away 5 apples if you only have 4 to give away. That is when you get into negative numbers and you aren’t learning those yet.” Jimin helped you erase your previous answer.

You pushed away the thick book filled with math worksheets. As a nine year old, you only desired to play, especially with the new scooter that Jimin recently got for his birthday.

“Can we play?” You asked impatiently Jimin poking his temples with the end of his pencil. He shook his head.

“I promised your mom I would help you with your homework and you’re not done with it yet. Come here.” He patted the spot on the lawn next to him.

You stood your ground and crossed your arms. Shaking your head violently, you proceeded to say, “I want to play, Jimin.”

He pouted, “we can play if you answer this problem correctly. If you don’t, you’re coming back to finish your homework, deal?”

You gleamed and nodded, but your smile fell when Jimin hit you with a division question. You had only recently learned division in the fourth grade and you were too busy doodling to pay attention.

When you couldn’t answer him, he patted the seat next to him again and pulled out a clean sheet of paper to write more division practice problems for you to do.

“Well smartass, why don’t you tell me how much it would cost for me to stay here? What job will I be doing instead of a flight attendant? Do I continue school? I definitely can’t dance, Jimin, so don’t even think about that. Are you okay with me living with you? How much is rent? What would happen if we break up? Or if you change your mind?” As smart as Jimin was, asking you to stay was a ridiculous request.

You no longer lived in your old city anymore. You no longer needed Jimin to support you anymore. “I don’t know, if you really want to stay then we can talk about this over the next few days and figure everything out. If you don’t, then I’ll let you go on your way.”

“I’m not staying here.” You told him and the his face sadden by tenfold. “I love you, Park Jimin, as my close childhood best friend. I love you, Park Jimin, as something more than that. But, we would never work out and maybe that’s why it took so long for us to realize how each other feels for the other.”

“But you’re not going to give us a chance?” Jimin’s voice cracked, indicating how much he was holding back from crying.

You pulled him onto the mattress with your arms draped over his torso, your chin on top of his chest. “I gave us so many chances.”

At that moment, he sat up with you in his arms. His lips pressed gently against yours. His scent engulfing you, his nose pressed roughly on your face. His antsy hands wondering your canvas.

The many emotions overwhelmed you, causing you to vibrate and grip onto his shirt to steady yourself. Your heart beat faster than Jimin’s impatient touches. Heat radiated off of your cheeks.

You were feeling a mixture of nervousness and passion. While the other kiss was refreshing, this one was laced with every ounce of passion that Jimin hid inside of him.

After a few more seconds, you pulled away to breathe. Your deep breathing mixed with his as he stared deeply, longingly into your eyes. His chest rose evidently and you whispered, still inches away from his face, “what happened to letting me go on my own way?”

He chuckled, but his smile changed to a small pout as if he had realized something, “I was crazy to push you away before. I’m not going to do that again, (Y/N). I don’t know how many more years I can stand hearing you call me your best friend when I know we both want more than that.”

“So?”

“So.. fucking stay with me, please.” Jimin nuzzled his head at the crook of your neck, burying his hot face into your skin.

The next few days, Jimin would not stop holding onto you. He was afraid of you flying off. He showered you with love and affection. Every night, he made sure you were comfortable in his arms before he kissed you goodnight.

You have never felt more happy in your entire life. Growing up, you had the longest crush on the man, who you’ve been waking up to the past mornings. Jimin was finally yours.

The older protector, the admirable, fearless Park Jimin saw you in the same light that you’ve been casting upon him your whole life. However, something felt off and almost unsettling.

Even though you were happy, maybe it wasn’t the relationship your younger self wanted. It felt almost rushed, but you’ve both been waiting for practically a lifetime for these moments. So... why weren’t you running around the room and doing cart wheels?

As Jimin slept soundlessly at night, you laid next to him wide awake. You didn’t want to stay, even if it did mean that you’ll finally be with the man of your dreams. Your life was in the sky, in different countries.

Your big move when you were younger switched something within you. Through the tears and the new experiences, you couldn’t stay in one place for long. You couldn’t get too comfortable or else, you’ll release it really wasn’t what you wanted.

You didn’t want to abruptly leave Jimin one day. You loved him too much to hurt him like that, so the only way to avoid it was to never start it.

“Why are you going so far away for college? Don’t you want to stay here with me? With your mom?” Your close friend questioned you as you browsed through a college brochure.

“I really.. don’t. I just don’t like it here.” You simply told him, not intending for it to mean much.

He huffed, “I’m here.”

“I know. It’s not you. It’s this location. I’m not happy here. There are millions of different countries in this world, aren’t you curious to what’s out in the world?” You held onto his shoulders, but he shook you off.

“I don’t care about anywhere if it doesn’t involved you. I’ve never found someone as great as you, (Y/N).”

“Don’t say that because you don’t know what you’re saying. How could someone stay in one place for the rest of their lives and be.. okay with it? To be with the same people and feel like they’re not missing out?” You marveled, but you didn’t realize how much your excitement was hurting him.

He cleared his throat and he began to gather his things to leave, “well then, you don’t really need me anymore, do you? Sorry that you felt like you missing out.”

“Why don’t you want to leave?” You followed after him, down your staircase and to your front door. You were unsure why he was getting upset with you.

Your friend spun on his heel to face you with all his final might, “because I’m comfortable.”

“That’s the thing. I’m too comfortable here. I’m-I’m--I’m sick of it!”

“Maybe you should warn the next person you let into your life that you’re not staying for long before they get too attached.” He smiled bitterly before exiting your life.

“Jimin.” You called after him the morning of your mandatory flight back.

The sleepy boy groaned and mumbled, “yes?”

Sitting up, you held his blankets close to your nose to remember the sweet scent you’ll miss. “I’ve decided.”

He shot up, rubbing the morning out of his eyes. “You’re staying?”

“I’m.. leaving. And.. I’m.. not..” you swallowed before finishing your sentence, “coming back for us.” Hot tears spilled at the sides of your cheeks, but Jimin wasn’t comforting you. He was busy curling up into a small ball, cushioning his own heart break.

“Can I ask you why?” His delicate voice cause the guilt to close your throat.

“It’s better if you didn’t know and that there is nothing you can do to change my mind.” Getting up, you needed to get back into uniform.

Jimin’s body shook as his sobs drifted around the room. His tears stained more than his pillow.

He wasn’t the only one who was choked up inside. Hearing your best friend cry was the worst thing that you’ve ever experienced. You experienced turbulence all the time in the planes, times where you’ve felt like you were going to die. But Jimin’s tears shook you violently, more than what turbulence ever done to you. However, the only reassurance you had was that it was for the best. Jimin was better left hurt now than later when he was too invested in the relationship.

Although you had come to the decision of letting go, it was still hard for you to go. Jimin’s nonverbal cues planted your feet to the ground. It made your body hesitant from moving on.

“Are you going to send me off, Jimin?” You asked the sobbing man, his eyes already red from the tears.

He peered up at you and you saw the most hurt expression on your best friend’s face. “Of course. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t?”

His voice cracked halfway and he grabbed his keys, without brushing his teeth or changing, he headed for the door. “Do you get ready first, Jimin?”

“Sure.” It almost seemed as if he was mindlessly listening to your orders, losing a mind of his own.

When Jimin was ready, the car ride over to the airport was occupied with a heavy silence. You had to refrain from reaching over and holding his hand. Jimin had to refrain from crying anymore. He didn’t want to listen to the radio, afraid to create any songs that reminded him of you.

Once you arrived, Jimin parked and helped you with your suitcase. He had been avoiding eye contact the entire time, but he looked up once more before you left. His breath was caught in his throat when he saw you beautifully made in your uniform and red lipstick, the same night he had saw you again.

“I’m sorry, (Y/N), that I hadn’t realized how much I was in love with you until recently.” He whispered and you fell into his arms, breaking inside and out.

“I’m sorry for doing this to you, Jimin, but I can’t hurt you in the future when I know it would destroy you more than it does now.” You sobbed into his arms and he pulled you back, confused.

“What do you mean?”

Your mascara smeared under your eyes and Jimin rubbed the rolling tear away. “I don’t stay for long. It’s only a matter of time before I get too comfortable and fly away again. I’ve done it before and I sure as hell would do it again.”

“No matter how much you love me?” His voice grew small.

“No matter how much I love you, Park Jimin.” You kissed him again, dragging out the last taste of his lips, the last smell of his scent.

He held you by your forearms, taking in all your grown features. “You’ve grown up to be a beautiful, independent woman, (Y/N). Don’t forget me when you’re off into the unknown.”

“Jimin... I loved you my entire life. I’ve traveled to exotic countries and I loved you. I’ve gone to places that I can’t even pronounce and.. I still love you. And I hope that you understand my decision of not staying. And don’t you worry, Jimin, I’ve never forgotten about you, you’re with me where I go.” You held up your necklace charm he had given you when you were younger.

He kissed your cheek and drew you in for a long hug. “Goodbye, (Y/N).”

“Goodbye, Jimin. Thank you for being my best friend.”

“Thank you for loving me.” He smiled through his stained cheeks and you felt his arms slowly fall from your arms, and drop down to his sides. You began walking towards your terminal where your coworkers chatted among themselves.

You told yourself you wouldn’t turn around and look at Jimin one last time, but your body betrayed you and your head spun around before you reached your group. However, Jimin was gone before he could take one last look at you.

dinner @ Double Greeting Wonton House

I wanna hear your answer: Was there a restaurant that you/your family went to in your childhood but (as you grew up...) you haven’t visited for 15+ yrs? The follow-up question: Was it more or less the same as you remembered it when you revisited it?

For me, such restaurant would definitely be Double Greeting Wonton House (DG). Like Taipan located in Chinatown, my family & I would come to DG with another family (grandparents, parents that are my parent’s generation, & their kids, which were 2-10 yrs younger than me) for late-night meals sometimes. So the routine was like: have dinner at one of our houses, chit-chat, then go out again for late-night dinner. Of course, we abandoned this habit over a decade ago. But nonetheless, I still remember DG’s exterior/interior. I occasionally pass by this place as it’s next to the Chinese Multicultural Centre.

Its full store front. Looks super shady (& it is lol).

But you can’t judge a book by its cover. They got a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. A lot of ppl have been here since the 80s when they first appeared & are still coming here! One thing for new customers is that: don’t let the shadiness or “dirtiness” scare you. They have awesome food!

Side note: regarding this “dirtiness”. Was on the topic at work about restaurants & someone said, “for places like .. ‘blah blah’ I always check the health inspection/hygiene reports before going. If it’s an issue, I won’t go.” I was literally dying on the inside, thinking, what do these reports mean? lol being named on such reports but still in business literally just means they have “cleaned up” & are ok to serve food again. But what about those ‘negatives’ where they’re not in any report? Does it mean they’re actually 100% “clean”, or did they just pass the minimal standard so their name didn’t get released? Maybe they just escaped under the radar? Maybe on the day inspection came, they were ok, but the day after, they’re terrible? As a normal customer, you don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen, right? I just find the statement so funny, & to an extent uneducated. You know what I mean? Even a “good” restaurant will have its dirty moment. *shrugs* that’s just my opinion - I won’t not go to a restaurant based on that factor is what I’m really saying.

Their menu - the good ol’ folded laminated type of menu haha they also dropped off a pen & the order form. Customers fill it out themselves & then they review the order with you before they take it away.

Appetizers.

Sorry it’s blurry.. . didn’t realize this till I looked at the photos on my laptop =( Look at the prices; most are under $10! Like tell me, which restaurant still have these prices?!

The restaurant has Chinese customers for the most part but during my evening there with my parents, we saw many different ethnic groups coming in as well - that don’t speak Chinese. The table next to ours actually ordered by number straight off the bat without spending much time on the menu, which shows that they were very familiar with the menu/are regulars.

I’m just gonna tell you other things about the restaurant in between these menu photos :P

Their staff: the guy in his 40s/50s who “overlooked” the place (owner?), with 5 servers that did everything from taking orders, wiping tables, bringing dishes out (a lady held a big tray with her left arm, & on it were 5 plates of food!), setting tables after clean-up, & got the bills for ppl. They literally did everything, running back & forth. The guy wasn’t just doing nothing either, he answered many take out phone calls (in Chinese & English), & he also occasionally wiped tables & such.

The restaurant itself was super busy for a Saturday evening. Tables & tables of customers came & went, came & went. My family was one of the very few that actually took our time.

A summary of their menu: they have everything you would see in a Hong Kong-styled Cantonese café. The prices are very cheap, & there are many opions.

The cashier counter. Loved the “oldness” of this place. It honestly looks exactly the same in terms of the layout compared to when I last visited (which was likely >15 yrs ago). But everything looked newer. I’m sure they've had at least 1 reno since then.

On the far left is the entrance. Once you walk in, you will see a washroom & an ATM on your left. Then you enter the dining area. There are different types of tables: circular for large groups, 2-persons, & couch-seating like where I sat. The hole there leads to the kitchen but that little corner there is for storage.

Let’s move on to the food!

234. Deep fried fish with sweet & sour sauce. Mom loves the sweet & sour pork but decided on the fish version bcos it was later than our usual dinner time & we didn’t want to eat pork. The fish was basa fillet I’m sure. Lightly coated with batter, deep fried like the usual. I really liked the fish actually. It was REAL fish, not half batter, half fish. The sauce, however, I didn’t like it too much bcos I’m not into this type of sauce to begin with. Also, I don’t eat raw onions/half raw onions, so the onions were . But my mom & dad both liked the dish!

63. Chicken cubes & gai lan chow mein. This was my favourite of the evening! Huge pieces of chicken breast, gai lan was cooked perfectly (some places undercook them), & the noodles... wow! Crunchy when without the sauce (like on the edges), but soft & chewy with the sauce (under the chicken & gai lan where the sauce is). The sauce was a nice & simple oyster sauce-based sauce. Not too salty, & very tasty.

78. Beef chow fan (flat rice noodles) with bean sprouts. If you eat with my mom at places like these, expect to eat this every time (or at least, 99% of the time) lol I don’t know what it is, but she just loves this dish & orders I everywhere. A part of me thinks she’s just lazy or can’t make up her mind with the menu so it’s her go-to item haha anyways, this came out steaming hot & the smell was just so .. . powerfully appetizing! The taste was good, not as savoury/salty as you would expect based on the smell, but that’s good bcos it won’t make you thirsty! A large amount of beef for 10.75 in my opinion. Noodles were cooked decently well, with some pieces that were stuck together. Most importantly, this dish had that “wok” hotness to it. So yummy!!!

Definitely will be back again & likely fairly soon bcos my mom said this will become our new family favourite for Chinese food haha she is the type that sorta dislikes the idea of going out for food... but she really liked this place so I think that says something. That was a strong statement coming from her. For me, I liked both the chow mein & the flat rice noodles but the fish was the only thing I really liked in the 1st dish so.. 9/10!

Bonus photo #1. Haha shady.. . oh yeah! This place is cash-only so remember to either bring cash or your card for the ATM!

Bonus photo #2. I am so digging this background for a swag “back alley” photoshoot, like not joking at all. This is a far stretch but it kind of reminds me of those magazine photos of either street wear or Kpop album teaser photos of hiphop artists........ I don’t know. Like the ones taken in back alleys in LA!

Suuuuuuuuweeeeeg.
