Dear, my thirst was quenched after weeks and months when I saw Matt and Jonathan together today. How handsome they looked, did they not? I am so eager to hear what you thought of their interactions, their glances at the other and the way they seemed so close😘

Dear Anonymous, thank you for your message.

I'm still high on cloud nine from last night, and I suspect I will never shut up about the event, or our boys/men/babygirls/babyboys/angels/what even are they?? I will never get over Fellow Travelers, Hawk, Tim, Matt, Jonathan or any of it, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I didn't dare to dream we would see them like this again - happy to be together, both with arms around each other, Jonny even holding Matt's hand. Ahhhhhhhh!! They look so good together. None of the doubt and torture of the past months matters now, because they were home together. I'm more convinced than ever that their bond is rare, undeniable, eternal and unbreakable, and they will be like this even after outliving Hawk and Skippy.

As for their looks, Matt's look wasn't my favourite ever (although it was amazing), and poor baby looked extremely sleep-deprived. But he looked genuinely happy, and that's all that matters. Jonny looked slutty as fuck in that sage green shirt + trousers and brown shoes + white socks outfit. His beauty was dazzling, and this was one of my favourite Jonny looks ever.

This video is everything! It's easily as good as the Maestro premiere videos. Seeing them this content and comfortable... I'm actually at a loss for words. If you look really closely, you can see that Jonny is stroking Matt's back again. I don't care what people say anymore, he is NOT like this with others. And Matt is so much more open than he's appeared to be recently. It's rare to see this kind of public display of affection from him - like when he smiles, gazes at Jonny and puts his arm even tighter around him. He also has this particular micro expression he does when Jonny looks at him, I've seen it before.

Then there's the sweet video of them walking away from the stage. I can't upload another video here so here's a gif of it

I love how happy they look, and how Jonathan waits for a hug/touch from Matt, like he needs it.

I'm so grateful that we got the Ron/Matt/Jonathan only combo yesterday. Ron is the one person who loves and misses Matt & Jonny even more than the fans do. He loves them so much that he started to cry when he talked about their zoom chemistry read.

And speaking of that, this is how Jonny and Matt looked at each other when Ron mentioned the chemistry read:

The panel was incredible. I'm in awe of the three of them, and I wish I could thank them personally. They spoke so eloquently and passionately, and I think they gave an extremely good impression. Jonathan's dirty joke was the icing on the cake.

Favourite moments from the panel:

Jonny saying he feels it in his stomach, when he talks about watching the emotional clip they showed during the panel. He says there's a real emotion that has not left him, that is still present. How they've had six months to get on with their lives and try to say goodbye to the characters, but so many people are talking to him about FT, even crying, and it feels amazing to be back and celebrate it. "I know what pride means now." Oh Jonny!!

Ron talking about the chemistry between Matt and Jonny (that I already mentioned above)

I love and adore Matt beyond measure, so I'm allowed to say this. He has a tendency to go into professional/autopilot mode sometimes, and he does just this when the interviewer (who was great btw!) asks him about the sex scenes. He starts repeating things he's already said in dozens of interviews. But then Jonny starts talking, with much more candour, and it's glorious. And you can see, at least in some angles of the video, that Matt starts to blink and swallow a lot. It's like Jonny unlocks him, like he always does...

Jonny's joke: "Obviously you'd want a scene partner like Matt, because he never put a foot wrong..." Nobody makes Matt laugh like Jonny does. I wish their chairs had been just a little closer, because Jonny really tried to put his head on Matt's shoulder.

youtube

Yeah. Yesterday will stay with me for a very long time.

Could I request, if you have time, Warren Chae with someone who secretly does cage fights for money and everyday they have to hide their injuries until one day their discovered. I adore your writing ❤️❤️

Anon, this ask made me smile, it's so specific! Another sorry for taking so long. Thank you for the ask and for reading all my nonsense! Warren is obviously the best househusband btw.

Warren Chae x Reader: Househusband and The Fighter

The fight today sucked.

It was a close call, but you somehow managed to squeak out a win. You're exhausted though you can't help feeling your pride swell. You have come so far since your first match - the championship title is within reach.

And you can't deny that the money is nice too.

"Oh! Hey Warren, didn't you see there!" You plaster a smile and immediately hide your hand behind your back, hoping your boyfriend didnt catch the bandages.

Warren pauses, a small mountain of vegetables sits next to him as he preps for tonight's dinner, "[Where] have you been?"

"Just with some friends! Phew! I need a shower!" You give him a little wave with your other hand as you quickly duck out of sight.

Warren doesn't buy it. He can smell the disinfectant on you.

"Y/N! What happened [to your] eye?!" Warren grips you by the shoulders, worriedly examining your face.

"I'm so stupid!" you force out a giggle, and try to angle the offending black eye away from view, "I bashed it on the window ledge this morning-"

Your mouth continues to ramble. You can't recall the exact words you say, the story is a reach but it should be believable enough.

Warren stares at your shiner through the day with a frown, and his stomach drops when he notices the bruised and broken skin on your knuckles.

"Happy Friday!"

You had won your match today and the extra cash was burning a hole in your pocket. As a treat, you grabbed some of Warren's favourite food on your way home.

"This is great, [but] I'm not sure how we can [afford it]?

"Don't worry," you say, even as his brows crease with said worry, "I've got this!"

This doesn't make sense. Warren keeps a close eye on the finances, and it is tight this month with little room for manoeuvre.

Wednesdays are Warren's laundry days.

The sun is even shining and there's a light breeze. Perfect.

He prepares the clothes and bedding, but a mark on your top halts his movement. He studies the patch, which looks to have been hastily scrubbed. Is that... dried blood?

Warren connects the dots. It's a little far-fetched but...

"What happened to your forehead [this time]?

Warren greets you by the front door, preventing any room for escape.

"Can you believe how clumsy I've been lately! I-"

Your next lie is cut off as Warren holds out a flyer. Your name and image is clearly printed in full colour. You try to formulate something, but the guilt is already written all over your face.

"Are you [doing] this to provide [for] us?"

Warren takes a deep breath. He's not sure if he has the guts to go through this conversation. That he has failed you so completely that you are putting your body through hell to provide for him. How could he deserve to be your partner if this is what you have to do?

"No!" It comes out louder than expected. You know him. You know the thoughts running through his head.

The lies start to unwind and the truths from the last couple months spill out. With each word, the burden from your secrets lessens. You describe it all to Warren, eyes shining brightly and passion obvious.

The improvements in your skill. The triumph of each victory. The thrill of every fight.

At your next match, you obliterate your opponent as Warren cheers you on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Wonwoo is a busy man. I mean of course he is. The stelar kid of the family, the only child to get a medical degree and also the one to have a fiancé at the age of thirty-one ready to get married and start his own family.

The man was just the epitome of brilliance and was always diligent and hardworking. He was filled with back up plans and made more back up plans for those said back up plans. He was so into creating the perfect life for himself, he even made sure that he has another lady in store to be on the safe side because what if this one leaves him?

Now this is where you come to play. Unbeknownst to you the doctor you had been dating for the better half of two years, has already made plans for his happily ever after with another. What is more hilarious is the one said lover of his is none other than your distant cousin.

Being a woman with normal job that requires working for normal hours in the office, you accepted the fact that you would never understand the intensive hours these doctors work. Yes there were times when he was not called on his pager but his phone and was asked to immediately go to the hospital. Yes there were times when you had gone to the hospital to surprise him only to know that he was not there. And yes he specifically told you he wanted to keep the relationship private as all his coworkers are too nosy for their good.

Should you have figured out that the one guy you were madly in love with was already set to become the husband of other?

Yes

But did you?

Absolutely not!

Maybe that is why he kept you around, you were easy to lie to or were you just a good lay?

You would never know. Funnily enough you wouldn’t have know about the woman either if she wouldn’t have come to your house after your genius of a lover forgot to turn of his location during his nightly escapades with you.

The lady came storming into the house looked around in search of the man who had wronged her all while screaming at the top of her lungs at trying to make her presence known.

You would have never felt the hurt you felt that day if Wonwoo knew how to be a loyal man to his fiancé. You would have never have to hear the words, “this is the bitch you were fucking behind my back all this time,” from that lady. While she slapped you like she hated you and took jabs at your pride.

She made you question your integrity, your life and all your actions. Was it your fault that the man who said sweet ‘I love you’s to you every night was also telling them to his beloved fiancé. Maybe it was.

But the deed was done your self-respect was destroyed. Now you would always look at the mirror and realize that it was you who was the other woman. It was you who took the beautiful fantasy of one home away from another.

You left Wonwoo that day. He never tried to call. You were never important to him anyway. He left you broken, questioning your values, your life, and your actions.

This hurt more than any breakup you had been through because it was when you realized how naïve you were, how it was easy to lie to you. It made you feel like shit and there was no going back.

You stopped visiting your family, and meeting too scared to see those disappointed looks on their faces. What if you stumbled upon her when there was a function, she would hate you and you were too scared to face anyone let alone yourself.

She got married to him anyway. It was just a small hiccup in their relationship, while it did indeed destroyed you, they were happy. It is all that mattered to them. And although you would give them the credit for moving on with their lives, you couldn’t say the same for yourself.

It was then you had met Jeonghan, the man was funny and jovial, a bit of a prankster. He was exactly what you needed to escape life. He was the breath of fresh air you needed. He anchored you to reality and let to feel the happiness of life.

The friendship you both had built, had come shattering down one day when you got to realize he was friends with none other than the man you threw you down the shameful spiral of self-hatred.

That week you reused to talk to the man, at all. He suddenly made your skin crawl. For if he were friends with a man as despicable as Wonwoo after all his deeds, how much of a monster could he actually be. You didn’t want to stick around to get to know that.

Exactly a week after that Jeonghan was standing at your door. And was ready to make you talk no matter what. And talk you did that day. You shouted at the man for a whole hour to make sure he understood you would never be the other woman again. You were fooled once but you refused to be fooled twice.

After your shouting spree, he had held you to calm you down and told you he didn’t know what had Wonwoo done. He apologized profusely for the hurt his friend caused you while relentlessly promising to never betray you.

That day he asked you for a chance and just asked you to trust him for this once and let him in your life. He promised he would make sure you never you feel any less than what you should. He promised that you were enough for him and would spend his whole life proving it to you.

Surprisingly enough he did. He never left you once after that, never let you question your worth. Now after almost thirty years. You are happy with the man. You have lived a life were you enjoyed every bit of it. Jeonghan made sure you did. With your three kids happy and settled, you both went to live in the countryside seeking the peace that comes with it. You are happy and you are sure you would trade the whole world for this happiness. But good for you, you don’t need to.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

B, P, S, W, Y for Yunobo and Daruk, maybe?

Btw I absolutely LOVE your writings, it's amazing to find other people who love the rock bois <3

Aw gosh, thank you so much! I'd be happy to give you these NSFW Alphabet headcanons for our rock baes. I'm starting to see them get a lot more love lately and that does my heart some good. Don't ever be shy to slide requests for them in my inbox, I'm always happy to write about them! (But I also will write for other characters, just an FYI to any passerbys lol) Anywho, NSFW Alphabet Reference can be found here And I actually did S & W for Yunobo already so you will find those here. That being said, the rest is below the cut for you 😊

Yunobo B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) His favorite body part I feel like would probably be his arms. I recall Yunobo calling himself scrawny in the past, but he's definitely beefed up as of Tears of the Kingdom (enough to be able to swing the Boulder Breaker with tremendous ease) and even he's noticed his biceps and forearms are much larger than they used to be. He takes pride in his Goron strength. On you - I don't think he has a favorite. I promise that's not a cop out though, it's because you're body is so squishy and delicate compared to his more rigid physique so anywhere on you that is soft and malleable (thighs, ass, hips, face, etc.) are going to be his favorite. He loves how soft you are. P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) He prefers to go slow if he can help it. Yunobo is very wary of hurting you while doing it, so going at a slower pace helps him keep injuring you at bay. The good thing about that is it allows you to take him deeper; the deliberate thrusts give you the opportunity to truly feel the ridges of his cock stroking your insides. He can kiss you more, touch you all over instead of needing to grip onto you to hold you still. It makes for a really pleasureful and intimate lovemaking session. However - he is capable of more should you ask.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) Honestly? Probably a normal amount. He doesn't need nor want sex every day. That's not to say that he wouldn't if that's what you wanted. He does have pretty high stamina and a shitton of strength so it will really depend more on you! He'll either give you good lovin' everyday if that's what you want, or if you prefer once a week, that's okay too. He's happy either way as long as he gets to tell you he loves you and hold you close 🥰 Daruk B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s) His hands. Daruk canonically often looks at his hands and flexes them, we've seen that more than once in actual cutscenes in the Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity. He's got a monstrous amount of brute strength, but he prides himself with despite being one of the strongest in Goron City, he is still incredibly gentle when he needs to be. It also delights him to see how big his mitts are compared to yours; he's capable of literally throwing boulders and crushing rocks with his bare hands, but he would much rather use them to lift you into his arms. His favorite body part on you however is probably your lips. He loves your voice, loves to hear you laugh, your gorgeous smile - it all draws back to your lips. Often when he cups your cheek with one of his hands, he swipes his thumb over the softness of your lips. Absolutely loves to kiss you as a result.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.) Daruk's a very gracious lover. I've no doubt in my mind this is not his first rodeo - but you know and he knows that he's big - so taking it slow is the best way to make sure you're comfortable. However...once you've completely acclimated - this Goron champion is not afraid to get rough. While he's very much all for the sweet and soft sex that deepens the bond between you both, he knows when you need more. And more he'll give you with the way he's capable of pounding into you. Make sure you stretch~ S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?) Being that he's an older Goron (not ELDERLY, just older) he's not going endlessly like he used to. You'll definitely get a good two, maybe three rounds out of him, but don't be fooled, these aren't short. The rounds in question are how many times he cums - how many times you cum is a different story. He can last quite the long time, especially if you guys are engaging in a more gentler tryst. But if you start crying out his name, gripping onto him tight, pressing your hips back on him, he may not last as long on account of how needy your body is for him. He's weak to that. W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character) Big Daddy Daruk has a bit of a breeding kink. 😈 He most likely can't actually knock you up (for those of you that are capable of that), but he sure will fuck you like he plans to. It doesn't happen very often, in fact, you'll only catch him growling about it when he's lost in how deep he's really dicking you down. But when that instinct hits him, he'll hold you open and rumble how he's gonna fill you up with all he's got - and he keeps that promise, stuffing you full of thick cock first and filling you full of his cum after.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?) He is also not someone who needs sex everyday. Being a warrior and a trusted leader, he tends to spend a lot of time training or helping around Goron City where needed. So some days he himself might actually be pretty wiped from his responsibilities. That doesn't mean he can't accommodate you though should your libido be on the higher end. If fucking you isn't in the cards for the day, Daruk is more than willing to satisfy you with his mouth. Man's got a silver tongue, especially with all gravel in his voice, and he'll make sure you're happy no matter how you need him.

I think it would be interesting if you'd made an au where the dolls see that they have also wronged Lou and should of given him a 2nd chance. So they now try to earn his trust. From styling his hair to how it originally was and giving him more comfortable clothing to trying to talk to him more. But it's very hard to do so because the former leader is now depressed, anxious, and jumpy. He closes himself off and vows to never trust any doll ever again.

And maybe another au where Lou is very smart and manipulative and everything goes his way.

Btw I love your fics, I've searched everywhere to find good Lou angst and you make my day. Thank you for keeping the fandom alive.

Awww, you're so sweet! I'm glad you enjoy the stories! I've also heard you've found my friend @natalie-the-writer 's account. Her stories are absolutely AMAZING! She has such amazing attention to detail and can make any scene feel so real in your imagination. If you haven't already, I HIGHLY recommend reading through all of her stories on her profile. They're awesome!

And since I've gotten an ask similar to the latter portion of your ask, this one will revolve around the former prompt. Brace yourself, this will be longer (for the first time in forever XD).

<><><><><><>

The dolls prided themselves in how fluidly everything seemed to be running at the Institute. It was like Ox had said: they didn't need Lou. From an outside perspective, everything seemed to be going about splendidly. More importantly, everyone was happy.

Moxy hummed a made-up tune to herself as she walked down the winding sidewalks of the villa. Dolls -- with happy smiles, she was pleased to note -- waved and offered their own greetings as they swept by each other. She found her best friend, Mandy, and hopped in front of the doll's path with an enlightened expression. "Hey, Mandy!"

"Hi," the female offered a small smile of her own. "Have you seen Nolan anywhere? I haven't been able to find him."

Nolan. Did she know a Nolan? There were so many dolls that it was difficult to remember all of their names. Mandy must have caught on to her perplexed face because she soon elaborated. "Has the sign around his neck? Brown hair? Green and purple eyes? Kinda tall?"

For such a specific description, Moxy would've thought herself to be quick with a revelation. Unfortunately, that description didn't fit any of the dolls she had grown to be close friends with in the past few months. "Mmm, sorry. I don't think I know a Nolan." She admitted guiltily. "But!" She swung a short leg out to proceed in the direction Mandy had been going in, "I can help you find him!" Then she would know who Nolan was and all would be splendid again.

Mandy accepted the offer silently and walked in what seemed to be an aimless direction. However, she had a specific destination in mind. Nolan had mentioned a few times in conversation about a certain doll that she'd rather not bring up in front of...well, anyone else. So, unbeknownst to Moxy, Mandy had them set toward the old wooden shed near the back of the Institute. Now that she dwelled on it, they hadn't seen Lou in quite some time.

Her theory proved fruitful when she recognized the brunette outside of the abandoned shed. Abandoned to others, not to Lou. Moxy's pace slowed down to a stop even as Mandy proceeded on. "The shed? Why would Nolan be here?" Her question wasn't answered. Mandy didn't really have a sound answer to it either.

Nolan had made his vigil just outside the closed door. He sat on the ground, knees drawn to his chest to rest his head on, and back pressed against the door. There was a plate of food set beside him. Mandy's footsteps caught his attention before he could say anything. Quickly, he put a finger to his mouth to warn her to be quiet. His eyes went to Moxy as she finally walked closer. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked, keeping his voice just above a whisper.

"Looking for you," Mandy answered. "What are you doing here?"

Nolan cast a short glance at the plate of food beside him. It had grown cold, now. "No reason. Maybe I like the peace and quiet." Mandy shook her head and sat down on the other side of the plate. She tapped a piece of bacon experimentally.

"I'm guessing this wasn't for you." Nolan didn't respond. "How many days has it been?"

"Five. Six, if you count today." Nolan sighed.

"What are we counting?" Moxy tilted her head at them.

The Pretty Dolls exchanged glances. Mandy spoke. "How many days it's been since Lou came out of the shed."

"He hasn't been cleaning?" Moxy looked taken aback.

"You haven't noticed he hasn't been around?" Nolan's eyes went a little hard at that. It was the closest to a glare Mandy had seen him pull off. Moxy stuttered out an excuse of some sort, but he brushed it off. "You two can go. He doesn't like having so many people around. It's just been me for the past week."

"How did you know he was locked up in the shed?" Moxy asked. Had she missed a sign or something? Were the other dolls talking about him? She hadn't heard a single mention of the blond since his downfall.

Nolan visibly refrained from rolling his eyes. Instead, he flicked at an imaginary piece of lint on his knee. "Well, he doesn't exactly have the looks to blend into the background. He stands out pretty well on his own." There was an audible bite to his tone that Mandy silently acknowledged and Moxy took no note of. "I came here the first day I noticed he was missing. The door's been locked and he put a tarp over the window to keep from anyone looking inside."

"Maybe he's plotting something," Moxy brought a hand to her chin in thought.

The brunette tried not to bristle at that comment. He closed his eyes, eyebrow raised indignantly. "Like I said, you two can leave. I've managed to get him to unlock the door and I don't need anyone undoing all that progress."

"If the door is unlocked, why don't you just go in?" Mandy blinked up at the potential entryway.

"Because I want him to be the one to open the door. This is the only place he can go without being pushed around by the other dolls -- in case you haven't noticed that either." Nolan sent a look over to Moxy. She shrunk a bit under the tone. "This is his safe place now, and I don't want to intrude on it. If I'm going to make any progress, I need him to be the one to let me in."

Moxy drummed her fingers against her side, eyeing the door that could easily be walked through. "You make it sound like he's scared or something. I'm sure he's just sitting in there pouting and refusing to carry out his punishment." Nolan's jaw clenched, but he kept his mouth shut lest any harsh words are said by him. "Let's just go in there and tell him to get back to work." She stepped up and turned the knob before Nolan or Mandy could stop her.

A concentrated form of light entered the dark room. It revealed the particles of dust floating aimlessly in the air. She waved off a few visible ones and noticed the small figure hunched in the corner of the room near the door. She had been about to say something but stopped short when she realized something was off.

Lou didn't move at all from his position despite her bombarding him. He had been seated similarly to Nolan: legs were drawn up to his chest tightly, feet angled inward, arms wrapped around them, and head resting on his knees. She couldn't see his face with the mess of tangled, blond hair draping over his arm. He seemed to have his head laying to the side, facing away from her.

Before Moxy could take a step toward him, Nolan startled her by appearing in front of her path. "You need to get out. He doesn't want to be around anyone. Especially you."

Moxy was taken aback. "Wh--What did I do?"

"Is that a serious question?" Nolan finally let himself bristle as he glared down at her.

Mandy pulled on the pink doll's arm. "Moxy, let's leave. Nolan can handle it from here."

"Handle what?" A new voice sounded behind them. Ox tilted his head at the group from outside the shed. "What are ya'll doin' here? And where's Lou been? I ain't seen 'im in almost a week."

"Huh," Nolan couldn't help but comment wryly as he looked down at Moxy again, "even Ox noticed." Moxy merely shrunk in more guilt. Perhaps she had been a little too blinded by all the smiles and positivity of the other dolls that she neglected to check in on Lou.

Ox ignored the two and stepped inside, seeing the ex-leader curled up in the corner. "Lou? What's wrong?" Nolan couldn't get a word out to tell him to step back before the bunny was in front of the doll. Ox put a paw on Lou's head to try and brush away the hair, but Lou flinched away. "Lou, talk to me."

"He doesn't want to talk," Nolan clarified sharply. "And you guys are making it worse by invading his space."

"I agree," Mandy tugged harder on Moxy's arm. "So, let's give Lou some space, Moxy." The pink doll finally relented and walked out with the Pretty Doll.

Ox didn't move from his spot. He watched Lou's hands clutch at his pants tighter. Was...he really upsetting Lou just by being here? The thought sent a sharp pain through his chest. Nolan's gaze prompted him to finally stand and part ways. He sent one last look to the doll in the corner before walking out of the shed. Nolan made a step toward the doorway until he heard rhythmic tapping from where Lou was. He paused and listened.

Tap-Tap-Tap...Tap...Tap-Tap...Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

Nolan abandoned the doorway and kneeled in front of Lou. His hand was leaning against the side of the building, tapping. Lou still didn't look up. Nolan pulled out his phone and hit the record. "One more time, Lou, please?"

Tap-Tap-Tap...Tap...Tap-Tap...Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap

The message was translated on the phone. Nolan had first heard the organized tapping a few days ago when Lou was aware of his vigil. It initially sounded like a song that Lou was tapping to the beat of, but the repetition of the taps didn't follow along to a song. It was morse code. Nolan didn't know how or when Lou had learned the cryptic language, but the translator on his phone helped them communicate. Nolan read the result:

Stay.

Just to be sure. "You want me to stay?"

A second of silence.

Tap-Tap-Tap-Tap...Tap...Tap-Tap-Tap

Nolan knew that one due to their limited "conversations" between the door. It was 'yes'.

"Okay," Nolan kept his voice soft. "Give me a minute to get them to leave." He stood and leaned out of the doorway. The others were waiting for him. "You guys go on. He wants me to stay."

"He talked to you?" Ox's ears perked up in hope.

"Sorta kinda," Nolan teetered his head with a short glance to Lou in the corner. "I'll text when I'm headed back into town. It might be a while, though, so don't wait up on me."

They hesitated to move, especially Ox. It took some coaxing from Mandy to get him to relent and walk away. Nolan didn't move from the doorway until they had walked far enough from the shed. Satisfied, he closed the door and immersed the shed back into an opaque darkness. He silently sat next to Lou in the same position he'd been in outside. No words were spoken.

i'm going to go on a big season three bisexual rant because there are no thoughts in here apart from some gremlins chanting "bi bi bi bi"

very happy for redlyn being bi4bi, it's pretty rare to have on bi character, let alone two, let alone in a relationship

i really appreciate that it's a disney+ show aimed at a younger audience giving this representation. despite my thoughts on disney as a Company, at least there are creators within it who are like "you know what? queer rep."

neither ash nor red (presumably) cheat on each other when figure out their respective identities, and neither of them are really portrayed as promiscuous or super popular characters unlike brittany in glee or whomstever in euphoria. not that this is bad at all to be, and if people see themselves in those characters, then that's of course great!!! but having it in this way made me realise there's never been too much "kid-friendly" bi rep (luz from toh predating this by a couple of years), and i am so happy that we're now getting that

ashlyn being "nO I Just Like Her As A Friend" until the fireworks? iconic sapphic experience

her "I HAVE A BOYFRIEND WHO IS MALE" is kinda an examination into comphet and that experience of. well. i've liked men in the past and this is a girl and it's not exactly identical but it's definitely not a friend thing was really relatable to me

and while it hasn't really been confirmed if she's a secular or religious jew (because unfortunately i don't know enough about judaism, sorry!!), it seems that at least a little part of her was struggling with the intersection between religion and queerness. and again, while that's not a lot of people, there are religious people in the queer community and that representation can be really helpful for people who want the best of both world

also??? lesbian (yes i am assuming madmad are lesbians BUT I COULD BE WRONG) AND bi AND gay men representation???? quality content right here.

that being said, there are some flaws. i didn't love how we didn't get to see her come out to her friends or big red. i get that the latter was an intimate moment, but like so was the rina kiss. she mentioned that her "dating pool has expanded" but it didn't seem like she had told anyone yet, until carlos showed up with a pride pin (king behaviour btw).

it seems like the in-universe show is going to out her??? maybe she ended up putting something in the confessionals but... idk the way it was edited was really confusing to me

actually yeah that's really it. i'm so confused about the timeline and people's coming outs. for example, i assumed that when ricky looked at ashlyn for confirmation and she nodded she already knew, but i've seen other people interpreting that scene as her finding out??? i personally would've liked some things to be spelt out more.

just let her have a one-liner next season like "I'm too hot and bisexual for this" it's not that hard???

while i would like redlyn to stay together, i understand that you can't always get what you want. IF they have an amicable break-up then i think that there are a lot of potential fun scenes there!!!

btw ricky bowen? not straight. no way. elton with his storyline may be harkening back to the og trilogy's "gay coded but...". gina and kourtney could be straight but i don't want them to be. and i would love it if there were some aro/ace/trans/enby representation with any new characters!!!

also rip to portwell shippers, congrats to rina shippers. good luck to both of you

#seriously if this season had come out like last year i would've come to terms with some things more quickly #anyway max one of these characters is straight #fight me #hsmtmts #or however many colons there are #bisexual #yes i use the bisexual tag bc of the pretty flag tag #redlyn #big red x ashlyn #ashlyn caswell #long post #big red #finally some good fucking bi content

Saturn reminds me so much of Hunger. Both fics have sad endings. Saturn HJ and Hunger HJ are both artistic - one is a photographer and the other one is a painter. Saturn HJ and Hunger HJ can't love MC at "that" time. Saturn MC found a guy that makes her happy and Hunger MC ended up with Seungmin.

I don't like sad endings. Surprisingly, I was satisfied with Hunger's ending. Let's just say I was kinda pissed with HJ lol So I highly supported MC leaving him; however, Saturn really hurt me even though I already saw it coming. The old man said that MC needs to leave something behind for her to move on plus the diamond ring… But there was still hope in my heart that maybe, just maybe, MC will break the engagement.. well, until read the train station part 😭 But I'm happy MC finally had closure 😢 Even if it's kinda sad that HJ decided to sell painting, i think it's only right so that he could move forward too. By the way, what's the meaning behind "Saturn"?

Thank you sharing your work with us 👏👏👏 Looking forward to that "spicy" Minho fic 😉♥️

As always, thank you for reading! 🥰

I knew that this fic will remind people of Hunger bcs they're both share the "right person wrong time" trope and sad endings. The difference is that Hunger Hyunjin is frivolous, he doesn't know what he wants that's why he can't love MC whereas Saturn Hyunjin knows what he wants and what he wants is not love, also he holds his pride above everything.

And yes, it's only right that he sells the painting. There are few crumbs I left on my previous fic about this painting and it'll link to my upcoming fic. Can't tell it to you now or it'll ruin the surprise 🙈

Next, about the title, Saturn. I have several reasons so I hope you are comfortably seated.

Firstly, I originally wanted to title it The World as in the tarot card but that's too broad, too general.

Why I chose The World of all the tarot cards in the first place? Because it "represents an ending to a cycle of life, a pause in life before the next big cycle beginning with The Fool. It is an indicator of a major and inexorable change, of tectonic breadth" or that's what the Google says. It's basically the main theme of the fic, that MC seeks closure so she can begin the next cycle of her life. I've done my research on tarot cards and the ruling planet of The World is Saturn.

The other reason is because they took painting class every Saturday afternoon. Fyi, the word Saturday originates from the latin word Dies Saturni which means Saturn's day.

In Greek mythology, Saturn described as a God of time, periodic renewal and liberation. Again, fits the theme.

One last thing. I've been associating Hyunjin with flowers and fruits before. This time, I associate him with planets. I have a Hyunjin fic titled Venus before and I have unfinished one called Pluto, I'm developing an idea for a fic called Neptune.

And maybe I'll write a Hyunjin fic for every planet in our solar system. Who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hope that answers your curiosity and thank you for asking, great question btw 👌🏻💗

#spicy mail #maybe i should write the whole milky way for Hyunjin #jks #and for the minho spicy fic #have to put that on hold #but I'll post it as soon as possible

so i was looking for a azef scene to make my icon with, and something just popped in my head

the more i analyze the show the more i just don't get dilruba? i mean really, WHAT IS HER FUCKING PROBLEM

reason why i hate dilruba #635673737365436735 (proceed with caution, not spoiler free for those who didn't watch the show, tho i guess i already spoiled it for my followers asfgsghsga sorry)

dilruba: getting engaged with adem HOPING aziz would come and stop it and tell her how much he loves her and ask her not to marry him

aziz: comes to her to say goodbye before "leaving' the town #1 presenting her a gift as a sign of devotion

dilruba: (and despite all that aziz still covered her ass later on, without demanding anything in return)

dilruba later on:

(he literally CAME TO SEE YOU AND YOU TOLD HIM TO FUCK OFF???? And i know Adem was behind the door, but there was no need to be this harsh to a man who LOVES YOU? You literally just crushed him for nothing???)

aziz comes to dilruba to ask her not to marry adem #2

Aziz literally CRUSHES her wedding, telling her EXACTLY WHAT GALIP TOLD HER HE'LL DO, saying it out loud, for everyone to hear. loud and clear (and it's aziz we're talking about, a man so full of pride that to do something like that is not an easy task at all, to say the least, i mean, he's THIS PROUD. like aziz sweetie i love u to death but at this time u really had to get over yourself. Also, clown. LOL (affectionate)

which makes it THE THIRD time HE COMES to her, which is EXACTLY what she wanted from the very beginning

and what is dilruba doing?

WHAT ELSE COULD HE DO??? HE DID EVERYTHING U ASKED FOR, AND U STILL MARRIED ADEM???? And Adem asked her earlier if she wants to cancel everything, well guess what genius, YOU SAID NO

And she spent almost the whole show like

dilruba: i made a decision x: well live with it then, as a grown up woman dilruba: wait well guess what? What if i don't want to what. the fuck. 🙃🙃🙃🙃

so i ask again, WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM???? If a man i love comes to me and says that he's ready to fight everyone for me, i wouldn't hesitate for a second

i mean yeah yeah, i know it's written this way for the plot (tho i think eda could treat dilruba better by at least giving her SOME purpose rather than just "i want aziz so i'm gonna be a bitch to everyone to get him back") but i've always looked at characters as real people cause guess what, THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE IN A CONTEXT OF A SPECIFIC STORY

and what i hate about it even more, is that later on aziz blames himself for it cause he feels like he's responsible for it, well guess what honey, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. Dilruba made this decision herself for various reasons, which are

she thought i could help her forget aziz (lol, yeah right)

she wanted to at least SOMEHOW punish aziz (for not chasing her enough i guess??)

her mother pushed her to it

galip pushed her to it (#3 & #4 are relevant btw cause dilruba had multiple opportunities to refuse to marry adem in the past)

she literally married adem for money and position

it was the fault of everyone else actually: galip, handan, adem, dilruba's own fucking fault cause she literally said I DONT WANT TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS and i will continue pinning for aziz being a married woman, completely neglecting my husband and constantly punishing him for not being aziz. WELL, YOU KNOW— when Aziz took YOUR blame for shooting Adem, you were almost HAPPY, without thinking how that would affect him OR his family. and then going like "oh let's leave the town" because AZIZ LOST EVERYTHING, because he's not the WEALTHY AZIZ PAYIDAR, because he HAS to start over. You treated the man YOU LOVE like dirt cause you have too much of an ego, and then blame him for "leaving you"

(translate: get wealthy again and then maybe i'll marry you.)

"then we'll decide what to do" — wtf is that phrasing????)

i seriously don't get why she didn't leave after aziz's "death" i mean yeah, she wanted to take her own life at the time so she wasn't thinking straight obviously, but then she, divorced and pregnant (which is practically a shame for a woman in this era), left anyway?????

and she turned down EVERY OPORTUNITY at being a decent person. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. No apology, no admitting that you fucked up and ruined people's lifes cause "WeLl WhAt AbOuT mE", nothing at all I genuinely don't think i saw a character THIS horribly written, it almost fascinates me. i mean, such lack of critical thinking is INSANE

#dasha.txt #anti dilruba #efnan loved aziz HER WHOLE LIFE and she loved him so much that she understood #that it's better for her to let him go with dilruba if that makes HIM happy #i guess miss 'dull eyes' will never stop pissing tf out of me #that's why it's so long lmao #i just don't get how someone can THINK THIS WAY #and treat this way a man they say they 'love'

I hihi I am!!! A little nervous w/ doing this bc I've never done this b4 so please bear🐻 w// me💦 May I request a match up? A vision, a romantic partner and maybe a friend and/or enemy? If that's too much feel free to just assign me a vision + partner, ehe/// Preferably male for a romantic match-up, but either gender is fine with a friend and enemy match-up^^ I tried to be as detailed as possible but I think I ended up just ranting, so im v v sorry if it's long! I sort of fluctuate when it comes to being an introvert/extroverted. W// strangers and irl, I'm very introverted and shy!! Rarely speak and if I do it's just the usual "Hi how are you? That's good. I'm good too, thank you for asking:)" yeayea I'm not too. Keen on social interaction irl. But I always do my best to be very nice!! I never wanna come off as mean bc wow what a bad first impression that would be. But with friends / ppl ik online?? Whew I am very very friendly n chatty ^^ Either very high energy or very chill, there's rarely any inbetween. Sometimes I like to jokingly tease my friends but I'd never go too far / make them uncomfortable!! And if I do I always apologize right away!! I like to say that I'm affectionate?? My strongest love language is def physical affection, if not quality time. Idk man there's just something about vibing with someone or hugging them that just aaaaa/// Although I usually display affection w// words of affection bc. Literally most of my friends are online friends so I can't actually hug them, sad times. Idk if this is needed/important info but I just remembered: I'm 5'6 around??? Need glasses bc. Whew i am blind (near sighted), I'm poc (specifically black) anndd, hm. Actually I think thats it for this section, aha. As you can see I'm, not really all that organized. Also I don't have the best attention span - while writing this I'm circling between 4 different apps - and I'm a bit of a mess. And also a little stupid. Just a smidge dumb. But I have my moments - I solved like. 2 puzzles in Inazuma by myself so I think that counts for something. I also find that I tend to talk a whole lot when I have an idea or smthn to say abt a thing I'm super interested in!! That's info-dumping. I info dump. Yes. I also really like to listen to other people talk abt things they like!!!! Its so nice :) I'm protective over people I care about!! I've never done it but 100% would bark at someone who messed with someone close to be. Arf arf yaknow. I tend to he impulsive. I'll do something, and be all "YEAH>:D" and then regret it later. And then I'll do it all over again in a fun little cycle :) I consider myself an optimist, but quickly turn into a pessimist whenever it concerns myself. Fun funfun. Should probably mention that I am. A very insecure person w/ dangerously low self esteem, which is super fun esp when you mix that with the fact that I'm rarely ever motivated to improve. Yayayay Also sort of a pushover?? Like most often than not I'll be convinced to do something, even if I'm not too keen on doing it. Also afraid of confrontation when it comes to my friends and strangers (that is, if it's concerning me!! I'll order smthn for my friend but if I need to order for myself?? uhh stutter time aha). I'm also a mega simp ahah! Srsly though if I fall for someone/get infatuated with someone I. Will be so obvious abt it even though I try very hard not to be. Would gush over that person probably. I don't really like mean people tbh. Like yes I'll be nice and civil with them but!!! I cannot stand!!! Rude people!!! Esp when they're mean for no reason like sir??? maam??? homie??? chill pls ty<3 People who aren't necessarily mean, but moreso have bastard energy and are just really "hehe>:D" but playfully are p poggers tho!!! I think I get along with kids!! I have a little sister,, around like. Nine? And we get along really well!! I also try and match a kid's energy whenever I'm tasked with looking after them. I take pride in the fact that kids like me >:].... even if they sometimes scare me-- Ok, interest time!!

I like art!! Quite a bit!! Less of a realistic artist and more of a cartoonist!! Idk there's just something fun abt drawing cartoons, hehe. I also like self ships - I have quite a bit of them, actually ! Idk its comforting drawings your fictional crushes loving you idkidk. I like writing too! Both original stories, and one-shots or personal fics that are associated with already created media!! Writing character backstories and personalities and stuff is also fun too! I've even made my own fictional world with a full fledged backstory n everything! It's very fun to think about. I'm a day dreamer!!! Yea remember when I said I write stories? I day dream abt potential stories even more. Mmm daydream world so nice so warm so fun I read aswell!! Mostly fantasy books, or stories where animals are the protagonists. Think Warrior Cats. But my favorite book series has got to be Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Fantasy owl books, anyway! X Readers are also things I enjoy reading :) Again, s I m p Also gaming!!! Is something fun I do sometimes!!! Although it's usually Genshin Impact, or Wii Sports/Resort w// my little sister. Oh, also pokemon! I rlly like Primarina, Vaporeon, Sylveon and Vulpix/Ninetails! I absolutely adore sweet foods, and baking is smthn I'm def interested in! Don't like foods w// weird textures though, like beans or mashed potatoes. Also I. Love spice so much. Mmm love it when my mouth burns so bad. Don't have a favorite animal but I've had three cats in my lifetime (btw not important but my current cat is named Sylvester and. He's my baby boy) so I am. A very big cat fan. Probably not needed but I really like sword and claymore characters. Literally all of the characters I main are either sword or claymore users. Although I did get Diona, so I miiight start forcing myself to learn how to aimmm. I see that I tend to like people/characters that are a little more extroverted than me. Upbeat, happy type beat!!! Nice sunshine babies, :) I think thats it! I hope this was good enough? Again, first time doing this (at 2am nonetheless) so forgive me if I got too rambly or did anything wrong ^^ Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this! And I hope your day is good / you had a good day, depending on when you read this, ehe!

Hey! Sorry if the wait has been long! I also love Warrior Cats (I promise myself, one day I'll finish it.)

You received... A Pyro vision! Optimistic, enthusiastic, impulsive, reckless, and a lot of energy are the general characteristics held by the Pyro vision. • I hesitated between the Pyro and Hydro vision, but your energy distinguishes you from the Hydro vision. • You said you were impulsive, always doing something you might regret later but still doing it. • You react quickly: as you said, if somebody hurt someone you love, you won't think twice before barking. Your partner would be... Xingqiu! “This feeling was unexpected.” • At first, you were just friends, and Xingqiu really loved to tease you. Actually, you both teased each other. But eventually, a feeling of love towards you grew into Xingqiu. And that was reciprocated. • Your relationship is filled with teases, jokes, and good/funny moments where you mostly share what you commonly appreciate. • He also knows when to get serious: for example, he does everything to support you during your moments of struggle concerning your self-esteem. Your friend would be... Childe! “Luckily, I'm here!” • You two also share funny moments, especially during situations where your “stupidity” is overtaken by his insight. • Sometimes, he finds you cute. • He likes the fact that you get along well with kids. It leads you to great moments with him and his siblings. • You're quite the opposite in terms of self-esteem. I think it's a good thing because it makes you complementary. Your enemy would be... Albedo! A misunderstanding. • You wouldn't hate each other, but I think Albedo wouldn't like the way you use your energy, and when you're more in a chill mood (meaning you're more available for him to talk), he could get pissed at how much times he'd have to repeat himself for you to understand something. • He's very patient, but he understood quickly that his interests would maybe not be within your reach. • You would just be too different. Worth to mention • You and Venti are like drama queens in Mondstadt. You are good friends. But you both know that you can't be more, as it would eventually both drag you down (because of similar problems). • Klee is also your best friend: both of you share decisions that you definitely will regret later. Or maybe not. • Hu tao and you are kinds of silently competing over who's the best tease, and she beats you. My goal is definitely not achieved. I hope I can catch up tomorrow. And don't worry, it was surprisingly good for a first description!

(1/2) Hello! I recently began learning Canto &--living in Canada--I have encountered a LOT of people who speak both Canto and Mandarin. Whenever I mention to someone that I'm trying to learn Canto, they ask why I don't learn Mandarin. Now when I was learning Vietnamese and French, locals and expats were SOSOSOOSOSOS!O!OO!!!! excited for me to learn their languages. Yet every Canto-speaking person I've met has discouraged me. This obviously makes me more rigorous re: studying, but I'm wondering--

(2/2) if you’ve ever heard this from any of your friends who are learning Cantonese. Also, when I spoke with someone about saying in Canto how beautiful or handsome someone is, she paused and said “No, that sounds too local.” ??? Like??? Is that not a huge success in learning a language? I’m just really curious to hear your thoughts.

;;;;;;; this was really upsetting to read as a Cantonese speaking Canadian, because this idea extends to a lot of ABC/BBC/CBCs, specifically ones who speak non-Mandarin Chinese varieties. Some Cantonese-speaking CBCs have a slight disdain for Cantonese bc:

1) It means they might not have learned Mandarin growing up and therefore must learn it now as a teenager/adult, and thus they may lag behind their Mandarin-speaking CBC peers in their Mandarin proficiency. A bunch of my friends actually feel this way. They have a distaste for both Cantonese and Mandarin bc they feel like Cantonese dragged them behind, but at the same time, they see Mandarin as something forced onto them

2) They may have struggled with their Chinese identity because people made them feel less Chinese because they couldn’t speak a standard language they were never taught (i’ve experienced this before; monolingual Mandarin speakers have asked me why I can’t speak Mandarin well, despite being a Chinese person)

3) Some of my friends have grown up with the “ching chang chong” stereotypes associated with Chinese languages (particularly with Cantonese), and all those memes on the internet about how harsh and angry Cantonese sounds, and I genuinely think that that has really affected how many CBCs view their own heritage language. It’s seen as ugly, annoying, hard on the ears, etc, and for some speakers, there is not much pride in speaking their own language. The same applies to many second-generation Vietnamese speakers as well, I’m sure.

4) I’m not from GZ or Guangdong so I can’t say this with absolute certainty, but there is some stigma associated with Cantonese, especially since kids are required to speak Mandarin at school (I’m particularly thinking of that one poster that was like “Speak Mandarin, Be a Civilized Person”). You did mention that some of your friends speak both Canto/Mando, and from my experience, most of the people who grew up bilingually in those two languages had parents who came from outside of HK, or they themselves came from somewhere in Guangdong/Guangxi, and maybe that stigma associated with Cantonese got carried on to them.

A lot of people grow up thinking that Cantonese is just a mere dialect, and that to be successful, you need to know Mandarin, which might be why you have received so much negative feedback about why you’re learning Cantonese. A lot of people don’t even see Cantonese as anything special; it’s just the language that their relatives speak in and they occasionally hear on the radio/TV, but it’s not as “impactful” or “useful” as Mandarin, so maybe they are confused about why a foreigner would want to learn such a “useless” language.

I’ve also spoken to a LOT of Cantonese people about the nature of our language and our writing system (written Cantonese - which btw, not many people know about outside of HK), and I have met very few people who take it seriously. The problem is that written Cantonese is still seen as HIGHLY informal and that Cantonese is simply a spoken language that doesn’t necessarily need to be written out. As well, speakers who write in written Cantonese are often aware of the variance in our written form, since there is no standardization, but very few people are bothered about it and don’t see a point in standardizing it, since we already have a written standard (aka Written Chinese), which as you probably already know, reflects Mandarin thought and speech very well, but not so well for Cantonese speech and thought. It’s just concerning to see this kind of apathy in Cantonese speakers. ;;; although it’s actually MUCH worse in many other Chinese varieties, since most varieties do not even have anything close to a written form (particularly with languages in the Wu and Min varieties).

Just to bring back a sense of optimism to this post though, I think the linguistic situation in HK is still quite good. Of course, there will always be Cantonese speakers who view their language negatively, but there are also many speakers who are extremely proud and enthusiastic (including myself :’D) and want to continue spreading their language to future generations and Cantonese learners.

I am so so so happy that you chose to learn Canto (im gettin the warm fuzzies just thinking about how ppl actually want to learn it), and I really hope you keep up with it. Don’t let the negativity keep you back from achieving your goals!!!! Just remember that there are many many Cantonese speakers who are proud of their language and will be VERY excited that you’re learning their language! (And if you live in a larger city like Toronto or Vancouver, you will encounter more of these speakers who view their language in a positive light.)

Btw I don’t exactly get the part about sounding “too local” lol, maybe your friend isn’t that proficient in Cantonese? I would be THRILLED if a person learning Cantonese surprised me with a native-sounding phrase, so maybe she’s just embarrassed that she didn’t know it? LMAO was it “佢好靚仔/靚女” or did you use the word 好索 😏 ?

#cantonese #heritage speaker #cbc #canadian born chinese #chinese #mandarin #sociolinguistics #idk its complicated #and mildly upsetting #but there's definitely hope #asks #REALLY good question though #sorry for all my rambling #i just have too many thoughts about this topic #asian diaspora #chinese diaspora

Btw, when you said "chances are at this point, you’re not in love with her. You’re in love with the idea of her.", I've already thought about that possibility. I'm in love with the memories I had with her... I already rant about this with a friend of mine, also for advice, and she said the same: in order to move forward, I need to talk to her and tell her. But I can't, she moved forward, she has a girlfriend now. I don't want to bring stuff from 4 years ago now that she's happy in a relationshi

“Hey, I’m the anon who wrote you that long post about a long relationship, asking for advice. Thank you for your advice! And yes, I have both venus (11th house) and mars (12th) in scorpio (I actually mentioned it in teh begining). The girl I fell for was a Venus in Leo. I just didn’t understand the part when you said I kind of played myself… What does that mean? Also, do you think I should have said yes, although she got close to someone else and made me jealous?Btw, when you said "chances are at this point, you’re not in love with her. You’re in love with the idea of her.”, I’ve already thought about that possibility. I’m in love with the memories I had with her… I already rant about this with a friend of mine, also for advice, and she said the same: in order to move forward, I need to talk to her and tell her. But I can’t, she moved forward, she has a girlfriend now. I don’t want to bring stuff from 4 years ago now that she’s happy in a relationship"

/////////////////////// When I said you played yourself, I mean you did the opposite of what you really wanted. You wanted your be with her, and yet you told her you didn’t want to be with her. Like you said you let your pride get in the way of your other feelings. This could be just because I don’t have all the information, but it didn’t sound to me like she was trying to make you jealous. It sounded like because you two grew a lil distant, she allowed herself to get close to someone else. But like I said, it could seem that way to me because I don’t know the situation personally. Yeah memories are always better than the real thing. My mind likes to make things seem way better than they were. Well if you can’t tell her, write it all down. Pretend like you’re sending a letter to her. Explain everything. And then when you’re done, burn it. Don’t save it and don’t send it to her. And when you’re done burning it, believe you’re free. Free to move on. Free of that relationship. Read some motivational quotes. Set goals for the future. You have to accept that chapter of your life is over. Bigger and better things are coming if you would only go out and get them
