The Faint Of Heart GN - Kerilynn Wilson

Not that long ago, the Scientist discovered that all sadness, anxiety, and anger disappeared when you removed your heart. And that's all it took. Soon enough, the hospital had lines out the door. June is an exceptional high schooler, though not in the way you'd expect. She is the only one in town who still has her heart. When she looks at her heartless family and friends, she knows she can't become one of them. But the pressure, loneliness, and heartache are mounting, and it's becoming harder and harder to be the only one with a heart. And then June comes across an abandoned heart in a jar. The heart in the jar intrigues her, it baffles her, and it brings her hope. June wonders if the heart can be used to revitalize her sister. But the heart also brings her Max, a classmate with a secret of his own: though he had his heart removed, he is starting to feel again-and it hurts. June will have to choose between a boy she barely knows-a boy who's in pain-and the sister she loves dearly-who feels nothing. But will her own heart rip in two in the process?

Family Style: Memories Of An American From Vietnam GN - Thien Pham

Originally posted on Instagram, this young adult graphic novel details the author's childhood immigration to America with his family, through the lens of particularly meaningful food and meals. Thien's first memory isn't a sight or a sound. It's the sweetness of watermelon and the saltiness of fish. It's the taste of the foods he ate while adrift at sea as his family fled Vietnam. After the Pham family arrives at a refugee camp in Thailand, they struggle to survive. Things don't get much easier once they resettle in California. And through each chapter of their lives, food takes on a new meaning. Behind every cut of steak and inside every croissant lies a story. And for Thien Pham, that story is about a search - for belonging, for happiness, for the American dream!

Emmy nominee Tim Hedrick (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and artist Andrea Mutti (British Paranormal Society) bring you the next expansion of the FrazettaVerse!

Haunt You Til The End #1 - Ryan Cady & Andrea Mutti

Intertwined: The Last Jewish Daughter Of Kaifeng #1 - Fabrice Sapolsky, Fei Chen, Ho Seng Hui & Fred Pham Chuong

In time for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as well as Jewish American Heritage Month, fan-favorite series INTERTWINED is back with a 64 page special dedicated to the only Asian Jewish character in comics: the new Spirit of Water! After the events of the original INTERTWINED series, Leah Ai Tian's life has changed drastically. She had been dragged in Juan Jin's adventures with the Spirits of WuXing against her will and Lady Xia passed on the mantle of Champion of the Water Element to her right before she was murdered. Now, Leah fights along the Spirits of the Earth, Wood, Fire and Metal to preserve the balance of the universe while fully living her Jewish faith. But her past has come back to haunt her. Why did she really leave Kaifeng and China? And what do Mob Lord Yuk-Long wants so much that he sent his goons all the way to Chinatown New York to find her?

INTERTWINED: THE LAST JEWISH DAUGHTER OF KAIFENG is a fast paced action adventure tale dealing with deep real life issues: the meaning of faith in a country that, at that time, doesn't recognize Judaism as a religion, the condition of women in the early 1970s and freedom of choice.

Parallel TP - Matthias Lehmann

Karl Kling's story is one of revelations, and these he has addressed in a letter to his daughter, Hella, who had disowned Karl many years ago.

Taking place between the end of World War II and the 1980s, Parallel chronicles Karl's efforts to comply with social norms in order to keep his sexuality a secret. It also paints a picture of a life torn between conformity and rebellion, and the cruel realities of twentieth-century German society, where homosexuality was proscribed and punishable until 1994. Matthias Lehmann poignantly depicts the story of a decades-long yearning to live an open and free life, and the price Karl and those he loves must pay for it. It is also a story of finding the courage to finally tell the truth no matter the obstacles...or the cost.

Still, with Spider-Man nowhere to be found, the city needs someone to save it...

The Prophet GN - A. David Lewis, Kahlil Gibran & Justin Renteria

First published in 1923, Khalil Gibran's The Prophet is unquestionably the most popular work of free verse published in the English language during the 20th century. The slender book tells the story of exiled Almustafa, leaving his refugee home of Orphalese after twelve years of banishment. Before he goes, however, he has words of wisdom for the people who took him in. This graphic adaptation features a faithful rendering of the original text with a flashback sequence that explains the prehistory of Almustafa and an afterword by A. David Lewis.

OPINION: Target Locked: Paglubha ng Kultura ng Impunity

Photo credit: Rachelle Baldelomar

Sa loob ng mahigit kumulang 5 buwan ng panunungkulan ni Ferdinand Marcos Jr. bilang pangulo ng bansa, kaliwa’t kanan na ang mga atake sa mga kritiko at mamamahayag. Walang katapusang takot at pangamba ang dulot nito sa ordinaryong mamamayan sapagkat senyales ito ng pagpapatuloy ng kultura ng impunity na tumindi noong nagdaang administrasyong Duterte. Maraming mga organisasyon at indibidwal ang nagpahayag ng kanilang pagkundena sa kulturang ito.

“Assassination and any physical violence against journalists are crimes against society since this curtails freedom of expression which is guaranteed by the fundamental law and which all of us are entitled to enjoy,” pahayag ni Atty. Sonny Matula.

Mula sa 22 peryodista at media workers na nasawi noong nagdaang 6 na taon ng rehimeng Duterte, nararapat lang na bantayan at siguraduhin ng kasalukuyang administrasyon ang kaligtasan ng mga mamamahayag. Bukod pa rito, laganap rin ang pag-aresto at pagkulong sa mga mamamahayag bilang tangkang pagpapatahimik sa kanila. Isang halimbawa nito ay si Icy Salem, isang alumna ng UPIS at manunulat mula sa Manila Today. Inaresto si Salem noong 2020 dahil sa diumano’y iligal na pagmamay-ari ng mga baril at bomba, isa sa mga karaniwang kaso na idinedemanda laban sa mga aktibista. Dagdag pa rito ang pagsampa ng kasong cyber libel kay Maria Ressa, ang kauna-unahang Philippine Nobel Laureate at ang CEO ng Rappler.

Naging mainit pa lalo ang usapin nang pumutok ang balita ng pagpaslang kay Percival Mabasa o mas kilala bilang Percy Lapid. Nangyari ang pamamaril noong Oktubre 3, 2022 sa Las Pinas. Si Lapid ay isang beteranong radio broadcaster at tanyag ang kanyang programang “Lapid Fire” sa pagpuna sa administrasyong Marcos Jr. at Duterte. Noong Oktubre 18, umamin sa krimen ang hitman na si Joel Escorial. Siya ang ikalawang mamamahayag na pinaslang sa ilalim ng kasalukuyang administrasyon.

Ayon sa pahayag ng National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, “Accountability in this case will help chip away at the culture of impunity around journalist killings that media, civil society and government agencies have been working to change.”

Kamakailan lang din, pinatay ang tanyag na cartoonist at guro na si Benharl Capote Kahil sa Barangay Pasandalan, Lebak isang bayan sa Sultan Kudarat. Ani ng mga malalapit sa kanya, kilala ang guro sa kanyang mga komentaryo at adbokasiya laban sa disimpormasyon. Ika nga, ang pagkasawi ng isang mamamahayag, ay marami na. Hindi makatarungan ang karahasang kinakaharap ng mga peryodista at kritiko sapagkat lahat ng tao ay may kalayaang magpahayag. Nararapat alalahanin ang karumal-dumal na diktadurya ni Marcos Sr. kung saan nagkaroon ng media blackout at mahigit pitumpung peryodista ang pinaslang.

Sa pagtindi ng mga atake laban sa mga kritiko at mga mamamahayag, mas lalo ring tumitindi ang pangangailangan upang ipaglaban ang karapatan ng mga mamamayan sa malayang pagpapahayag. Hindi napipigilan ng kahit anong rehas, posas, o bala ang pagsiwalat ng katotohanan. Hanggang may katiwalian at opresyon na nagaganap sa bansa, patuloy lang ang paggampan ng mga alagad ng midya sa paghahatid ng makatotohanang impormasyon sa sambayanang Pilipino. //ni Klyssa Betito

Jiangshi - V

Jiangshi Masterlist |

Genre: Drama/Noir | Mafia!AU

Word Count: 2633

The atmosphere of the makeshift office was impending and tense, despite the good news that had been brought. With this line of work, dread and death always seemed to linger no matter how positive any outcomes were. Darkness encapsulated the two men, stood on opposite sides of an old mahogany desk, the only light from a streetlamp outside, shining through the bamboo blinds and casting uniform white streaks over the two mysterious faces.

Tao dumped his handgun onto the desk before pulling up a chair and sitting. A sigh escaped his lungs as he relaxed into the cushion beneath him, closing his eyes. Suho narrowed his eyes and stared Tao disapprovingly before taking his own seat in his large red velvet chaise, much grander than the dingy stool Tao sat upon.

“You could’ve at least cleaned up before you came,” muttered Suho, pulling a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiping down the area around the gun Tao had set down, absorbing the droplets of blood mixed with gunpowder that had dripped off the handle. After, he tossed the stained fabric at Tao, who then began to wipe down his face, clearing away the evidence of his most recent job.

“I thought you might have wanted a souvenir,” replied Tao with a smirk, tossing the handkerchief back at Suho who caught the item in one swift movement.

“I might’ve wanted one if you’d stuck to the plan,” Suho growled, voice becoming stern as he sat himself down in his seat. “I told you not to engage them during the arms deal. Now we’ve possibly involved another gang in the battle, a reckless one too!”

Tao scoffed. “Those crackheads are as unorganised as they are stupid, they’re not a problem.”

Suho’s fists clenched, knuckles turning white, yet his face remained perfectly unchanged and seemingly calm, save for the bumbling rage flaring up in his eyes. “We’re supposed to be eliminating our enemies, not adding to them.”

Tao rose an eyebrow and gestured to the bloodied gun on the desk. “I’m fairly sure they’ve been eliminated.” Suho’s lips pursed together into a thin line, and he was ready to berate the younger, snarky man until Tao interjected with a chuckle.

“Don’t worry old man,” he laughed, causing Suho’s eyebrows to narrow at the nickname. “I stayed outside the warehouse and managed to get one of those crackheads into thinking I was from the other guys. I threatened him and he fired the first shot. They all basically did the work for me.”

“And the Caporegime?”

“He managed to get out of the shooting in a car but, a car’s never stopped me.”

“And the other clan.”

“All dead. Cypher will think that the druggies shot first for now, which will buy us time to take out everyone else in their clan before they realise that their Capo was taken out by someone with more…skill.” Tao’s lips curled upwards in self-praise at the end of his sentence.

Suho processed the information Tao had played out, the light streaming through the blinds landing over the wrinkles on his forehead as he frowned in concentration. He impatiently tapped his fingers on his desk before his face finally unravelled. He leaned back in his chair and placed an elbow on the velvet armrest, propping his head app with his palm while staring at Tao with an unreadable expression.

“You’re welcome,” gloated Tao. “My plan was better. And if that’s all I’ll leave now.” Tao rocked himself out of his chair and stood, straightening his bloodstained blazer before heading towards the door.

“Those “crackheads” you call, they’ll know they never shot first. And if anyone starts believing them then we’ll have a problem. This is why I don’t pay you to make the plans,” grumbled Suho, causing Tao to stop in the middle of the room.

“No. You pay me to do my job. And I’ve done it.”

“Still,” began Suho in a cryptic tone. “The job was rushed.” Suho paused before continuing, and only now did Tao realise, that he had been observing and inspecting him ever since he left the room. Suho's eyes had never left his body.

“Is there something else you have to do?” asked Suho. “Something else that requires your attention?”

“Of course not,” replied Tao nonchalantly.

“Then why so eager to leave?”

Tao felt himself freeze up for the first time. Somehow, something in his brain had subconsciously deemed something more important than his work. The tension only lasted less than half a second, but still, Tao’s head began to buzz at the feeling. A feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

“Is that a problem?” asked Tao, the smallest hint of defensiveness in his tone. However, it was enough to prompt Suho to circle out from behind his desk and slowly make his way towards Tao’s taller figure.

His head was tilted ever so slightly to one side, as if he was moving the blood to one side of his brain, allowing the analytical half to think. His eyes scanned over Tao, but his face remained unchanged. Despite Suho’s seemingly non-threatening good looks and polite mannerisms, he was still incredibly intimidating when he wanted to be.

Suho’s eyes met Tao’s, forcing the younger into an unbreakable gaze. “Remember, Jiangshi, this job, this life, isn’t an honourable one. People get hurt, and even if you try to run it will always find you. You can’t have anything to lose, or it will destroy both it and you.”

Tao’s ears rang at those words, and slithers of dread and content began to slowly trickle into his chest. He twitched at the unfamiliar feeling and played it off as an itch. “You talk too much,” he deadpanned, his cat-like eyes shooting daggers of contempt. “There’s nothing for you to worry about.”

Suso stepped closer to Tao, causing Tao’s defensive instincts to kick in. One of his feet moved behind the other, ready to spring into a fighting stance at any moment. “I may not be as good of a hitman as you are, Jiangshi,” began Suho, voice harmless yet threatening, “but I’m just as good a liar.”

Tao’s eyes narrowed and examined Suho’s posture. He wasn’t in any position to attack, so he straightened up and walked away from his boss. His half red hand found the door handle and twisted it open. “Goodbye old man,” he called from over his shoulder, not bothering to look directly at him. He was halfway through the doorway before Suho spoke again.

“Goodbye, Tao.”

Tao felt like a shard of ice had been shoved into his back, piercing through his lungs as they deflated with one large gasp. His eyes widened, and his hand gripped the door handle so tightly he could feel the flimsy metal beginning to dent under his strong grip.

No one but himself knew his true name, the exception being his parents, who were both dead, and…

Tao spun around with a great force, his eyes landing on what he finally began to properly realise, was the most powerful man in all of East Asia. He may not be the richest, have the most men or connections. But Suho was smart, cunning and unpredictable. It was the reason as to why he rose to power so quickly.

And now, Suho had secured his obedience.

Said man looked no different, his expression unchanged. Tao however, felt his anger beginning to break through his shock. He could’ve killed Suho now and he’d never be caught, but he knew better. He knew how messy Mafia wars could get, and he wasn’t invincible. Besides, Suho was paying his bills, and Tao still held some respect for him.

Tao shot Suho one last look of disdain before swiftly stepping through the doorway and slamming the door shut, the echo rumbling through his eardrums.

***

A loud banging awoke you from your slumber. Your eyes reluctantly opened as you rolled to the side to inspect the time displayed in your alarm clock through your blurred vision. It was almost 2am. Another round of hasty thumping sounded, causing you to groan and kick the sheets of your body before standing and making your way towards your front door.

Who could possibly be here at this time of night? You were used to getting emergency calls, but no one had ever shown up at your door. Cautiously, you checked the peephole and gasped at the sight. Although he was dressed in a plain black sweatshirt with the hood pulled up instead of his usual suit and tie, it was still undeniably Tao. He had his hands in the front pocket of his hoodie, and you could see the outline of his hands, clutching something thick and L shaped.

You swallowed and considered not answering, but you had encountered him enough now to feel less afraid around him. You unlocked the door and inched it open until his face came into view.

All of a sudden, his body was pushing yours backwards. The only thing stopping you from falling backwards were his strong arms which had wrapped around you tightly, pressing you against his chest.

“Thank God you’re okay,” he mumbled.

You stood there with your heart racing, hands clenched at your sides as you felt his gun pressing up against your stomach through his sweatshirt pocket, sending goosebumps through your skin. ‘What…what do you mean?” you stammered.

He leaned away from you and gripped your stiffened arms with his hands. “You need to leave. You’re in danger.”

You had trouble comprehending his statement, but the blood that was smeared on his cheek and the determination in his eyes were enough to send a wave of fear through your muscles. “What? Why?”

He released you and shut the door, locking it and pulling the chain across the doorway. Then, he removed his gun - black and shiny - from his pocket and pressed his back against the door, gaze falling on the window of your living room.

You squealed at the sight of the weapon. “Tao! What the hell are you doing?!”

“Someone knows who you are. Someone dangerous. They know you’re tied to me,” he answered in a hushed but icy voice.

You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. “But…but I’m not a threat to anyone! I work at the hospital for godssake!” You were borderline hysterical. The threat upon your life had sent adrenaline pumping through your veins, and you weren’t thinking when you ran up to Tao, gripping his shoulders and demanding for an explanation.

“What did you do?! Why does someone want to hurt me?!”

“I don’t know! I don’t know how he found out and I don’t know what he’s going to do.”

“Who is he?”

He breathed, ready to answer. But he stopped himself. “I can’t tell you that,” he said apologetically. “It’s better if you don’t know.”

“I want to know if someone’s trying to kill me!” You squeezed his biceps, eyes full of terror and worry.

“No one’s going to kill you!” he cried, arms returning to your shoulders. His loud outburst shocked you out of your hysteria, and you instead froze. “That’s why you have to leave. Come on, I’ll help you pack.” He let you go and ventured further into your apartment until he found your bedroom.

The buzz of uneasiness that was flowing through you seemed to settle slightly in the few minutes you were glued to the same spot by your door. Eventually, you found the will to walk back into your bedroom. You were met with the sight of one of your suitcases open on the floor, a ton of clothing with the hangers still attached spilling from the edges. Tao walked up to you and returned his hands to your shoulders, coaxing you to look back up at him.

“I can get you a new passport, birth certificate, anything you need to start a new life. But you have to go now.”

“But…I have nowhere to go,” you retorted, realising that your life was here, in this town, in this apartment. “I can’t leave.”

“You have to.”

“I can’t Tao!” you replied. “I have to stay here, at the hospital. It’s what I’ve always wanted to do and…I can’t start over again. I worked too hard to get here.” Tao’s jaw tightened at your words, his grip on your shoulders strengthening. “Just tell me who wants me dead.”

“He doesn’t want you dead I don’t think,” admitted Tao. “He just knows that you’re important to me.”

You blinked in slight confusion. “I’m important to you?”

Tao didn’t answer for a while. Instead, he licked his lips and sighed, looking down at the ground before returning his gaze to you. “It’s my fault,” he muttered, disheartened. “I never use the same doctor twice.”

Your mind flashed back to the many times you’d treated Tao at the hospital. “So, why am I different?”

“Because I like y-“ He stopped suddenly, cutting himself off. “What I mean is, you’re a good doctor. You genuinely cared about me. Most of the black market type doctors do a terrible job, and I know that going to proper hospitals was a risk but…I trust you.”

You nodded slowly, acknowledging his words. Your eyes flickered around the room as you processed the statement, a small smile spreading across your lips. “I’m a good doctor?”

He smirked. “The best.”

Some time passed in silence before Tao spoke up again.

“Alright, I get if you don’t want to leave, but that means I’ll have to protect you.”

‘What do you mean by that?”

“It means that I’m not leaving until I know no one’s coming tonight.”

“Oh.” You shuffled your feet as an awkward silence fell between the two of you. “Like, as in you won’t leave my room? Or this house? Or-“

“I could leave your room,” he stated, a slight hint of sarcasm in his voice. “But then someone could climb through the window and pull out a gun and-“

“Okay! Okay, you can stay here,” you interjected, scoffing at the cheeky smile that had appeared on Tao’s face. He strolled over to your desk and pulled the chair out until it was up against a wall between your window and your door. He sat himself down with his gun in his hand.

“Sorry for waking you up by the way. You can go back to sleep if you want,” he mumbled.

You took timid steps towards your bed and pulled away the covers. “It’s not like I can sleep now when someone wants me dead.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be here.”

It was then you wondered, why was Tao doing this for you? Yes, he said you were a good doctor, but there were a thousand better ones that could tend to him. Tao, a hitman with the most terrifying reputation, was sat in your bedroom, protecting you simply because he trusted you enough to patch him up when he was injured. Even if he was responsible for the threat upon your life, he was taking responsibility for it. Somehow, it warmed your heart. Maybe he wasn’t as heartless as his job made him out to be.

You found yourself tiptoeing back towards Tao and leaning down, your arms coming around his torso to embrace him. “Thank you,” you whispered. You could feel his heartbeat against your chest as his empty hand reached around you to mimic the gesture. You backed away and pressed a kiss to his jaw, expressing your gratitude, and you swore you felt him tense a little at your action.

Despite the danger that was seemingly resent, having Tao by your side, protecting you, was enough to calm your nerves, sending you into a peaceful slumber.

A/N: THIS WAS LITERALLY DONE AND SITTING IN MY DRAFTS FOR LIKE A MONTH I AM SO SORRY

one more dynamics post but instead of romantic ships it’s mostly friendships and sibling dynamics

a reminder that these are all my opinions and interpretations of the characters; you are entitled to your own views and i’m not trying to enforce my opinions on you. im trying to provide entertainment :)

with that disclaimer out of the way, lesgo

aether & lumine (siblings)

• they’re literally just the kagamine twins kdjfjfskld

plus

• hot and serious (mostly) twin (lumine) & goblin twin (aether)

plus

• ‘its fine really-‘ (aether) & “excuse me he asked for no pickles” (lumine)

plus

• ‘no stop it was just an accident’ (lumine) & ‘touch her one more time and i will personally kidnap your kidneys’ (aether)

basically, they’re both quite protective of each other but of course we don’t get to see them interact at all because abyss prince(ss) and it kills me because i live for twin dynamics

zhongli & hu tao (friends)

• tired adult holding a child leash (zhongli) & the child attached to the leash (hu tao)

plus

• “my boss is like thousands of years younger than me and yet somehow we get things done”

plus

• your local cryptid & big gen z energy who’s not scared of anything

plus

• “our business might be for funerals but that does NOT mean you need to hire a hitman“

in summary, even though ive never watched spongebob and i’d have no idea, i imagine they interact like squidward and spongebob but squidward is actually having fun... sometimes

diluc and kaeya (brothers gone wrong???)

• no children by the mountain goats. that’s it that’s their relationship

plus

• they’re working on their bad blood and are sort of in that awkward stage thats like “so uh we sort of gotta rebuild our trust in each other. ...hug?” “no.” “duly noted”

plus

• “pls im ur brother u should give me half off my bar tab” (kaeya) & “who are you again?” (diluc)

plus

• just the sight of the other is enough to bring back bad memories, but they both handle it differently. kaeya tries his best to get on with life. diluc just sort of shuts down and doesn’t talk to anyone for a while.

their dynamic is really just angst central. also, if you havent listened to no children by the mountain goats, you should. here’s a link:

youtube

i think it fits their dynamic very well. also its one of my comfort songs so that’s probably why i associate it with them; they’re all comfort items to me

xiangling, xinyan, chongyun, and xingqiu (friends)

• that one friend group that literally everyone wants to have. like why cant i have that. damn it universe

plus

• 3 chaos entities & the one calm kid

plus

• two of them (xiangling and chongyun) enthuse about their crushes (xinyan and xingqiu respectively) (because i ship both xiangling x xinyan and xingyun shut up) and the other two are oblivious and doing some dumb shit in the corner. probably setting something on fire if we’re being honest

plus

• basic but fun bitch (xiangling) & grunge punk bestie (xinyan) & ghost believer (chongyun) & rich nerd kid (xingqiu)

i like to imagine it all started because xiangling was memeing around and sat down with chongyun and xingqiu one day and asked “so what r we ordering lmao” and that’s how they became friends. xiangling knew xinyan before the other two and introduced them. i could and will go on and on about them in a separate post because i have so many headcanons

i have a couple more dynamics i want to explore, so stay tuned lmao

hello chiluc nation im going to ramble abt the chiluc fic im starting

for starters; name! i think im gonna use "a taste of flames" because is it cool? yeah! thats all the reason why i wanna use it because its cool HELP

onwards,

though its gonna be a modern setting kinda thing and visions are somewhat there, the idea is that people do get visions yes, but they aren't very commonplace anymore, if that makes sense??? like people dont quite use visions anymore and vision holders tend to only keep theirs on them in case kf an emergency of any sorts! or more civilian based people, honestly, think of it like superheroes but weirdly complex because i habe thoughts

AND ALSO thr archons do walk as mortals but like in game few people are aware of this fact and they still hold whatever roles they did before but modern (i.e venti is a musician, likely small area and often spends the weekends performing in diluc's bar; zhongli works with hu tao at a funeral home; ei works as a CEO more or less since shes the only one with high power ranking out of the main three thats been revealed in-game; outside of that and really the only other one im gonna focus on is the cryo archon, who i think anya would be a good name for and shes the head of a mafia/underground organization which is the fatui and consider the archons in a power struggle of sorts maybe or at least the ones who interact to a degree im nlt too sure where to go on that one PLUS this isnt a solid idea yet so its bound to change because i also want to consider them working together as a detective agency almost like the one from bungo stray dogs in order to battle anya's attempt to grab power jt really depends on what yall think would be good SO HELP THIS IS A CALL TO PLEASE INTERACT ANF GIVE ME THOUGHTS this is so long imso sorry)

BUT after that okay so onwards to a more general speaking manner here okay sorry for the ramble okay diluc works at angel's share, a bar within the city, and often goes there during the night hours to work it since its a bar he owns, and maybe he has a daytime job because while he definitely has access to money if needed, he prefers to live off his own wages, he also is a single father and caretaker of klee, possibly diona as well but maybe more of a fill in than her adopted dad, we'll see BUT okay so usually, after hes put klee to bed and jean comes over to stay and watch the house (jean being the helpful co-parent because we stan friends raising kids together) he rides the train into the city to go do his night job, some days he does some days he doesnt yknow!! venti is usually there before him and when its his night to open the bar, venti usually is inside beforehand because he has a spare key bc ykmkw. venti BUT okay kaeya is often there as well! while he works as a manager/ceo or whatever kinda business man shit with favonious hq (jean also works there but moved to be closer to klee and diluc) and while the brothers are slightly estranged they do have a good relationship, theyre kinda nitpicky and rude to each other but they mean well and do care a lot for each other

OKAY JERE WE GO the main focus of the fic though its between ajax and diluc because they meet on the train, and several times too, ajax becomes interested in diluc because he 1. doesn't know who he is(famous hitman from fatui but no one outside of the organization really knows his face) and 2. diluc is feisty, hes snarky and rough and ajax absolutely loves that so he tries to find out more about him the more they meet on rhe train while both try to juggle their respective lives and also fall in love but wooo boy we're gonna have angst rivals to friends to lovers to some more angst shit im gonna throw in idk to we're together and happy fuck this shit and also klee likes ajax because cool dad BUT UH YEAH????? please interact and help me with this 😭😭

Hello there, fellow KaiSooists. I have never had as much concentrated written fun as when I was reading these fics. I really love intense violence/crime AUs and I had to leave out so many spy and hitman and military fics for the sake of sticking to mafia. SO I REALLY HOPE YOU ENJOY LIKE I DEFINETELY DID.

Mafia Boss - kyungsoo is the mafia mob leader / vampire and has his secretary jongin by his side. he has to protect jongin since they got an unexpected news from him (mpreg)

Mad Love - mafia au, jongin is kinda soo's trophy wife ;) lots of sexual tension, nini in stockings n purple cropped sweater uwu

Bluff - ot12, unfinished but chaptered. My all-time full EXO favourite. In a mafia based on playing cards system, Kai is a Heart and Kyungsoo the “leader” of Spades. Jongin betrays his group to join Kyung. Tao-centric but godDAMMIT THIS AUTHOR PREDICTED LOVE SHOT AND LEFT US ALL HANGING. I adore this, I really do.

Not Good People - Kyungsoo only wanted to prove his independence to himself and to his mafia boss of a brother, but he wasn't going to complain when he got unexpected sex ed from a hot gang leader.

Ascending Rain - Yakuza!AU, psychological, angst(?), mystery, smut. You know what's hot? Japanese mafia heir tatted up Jongin and pristine looking genius sociopath Kyungsoo. You know what's even hotter? Both of them being in the darkest love-hate relationship in between murders and mind games. So much plot, so many details, great OCs, and occasional first person chapters. Awesome read, too bad it's unfinished.

spring snow - Character death, multiple ships. This is practically the modern shorter version of 48 Hours.Yixing helps Jongin find the man he left behind and watches a mafia slowly die out. It's heartbreakingly good.

Running Up That Hill - Recced before, but I can’t not mention this legend. A chaptered masterpiece with suspenseful angst, awesome smut, intricate detailed plot, ot12 characters, side XiuHan, top!soo and violence. No matter what I do there is no way I can express how unbelievably addicting this fic is. Just read it, it should be a fandom classic by now.

Cypher - OT12, ongoing.

smoke - Oneshot. Kyungsoo as the heir to a security firm discovers that his dad is caught in mafia business. Later, as a president, he is faced with the same pressure from Kim Kai, the heavy smoker mob leader himself..

safe like springtime - only two chapters so far, with Jongin being bratty son-of-a-mobster teenager!Kyungsoo’s confused bodyguard.

4x4 (and away we go) - Twoshot, smut, tw. The Kim family is indepted to the famous stoic mafia leader, Do Kyungsoo, and Jongin finds himself obliged to pay back. Uhm, unsettling

Subterfuge - Oneshot, smoking. Kyungsoo’s a mafia leader, and Jongin a heavy smoker barman. Again, a subtle piece that leaves you wanting more. (a.k.a I’m really whipped for kaisoo and mafia!au)

bang and burn - Incomplete, 4 chapters, pretty heavy drug use, smut and very mild angst. Jongin doesn’t understand what his retired sniper ex did to be worth a million dollars, but dead. He also didn’t understand how in ten years, his pancakes and skin are just as delicious. Indigo’s (a.k.a my favourite active author) freaky shot at assassins. Pretty damn awesome.

in their blood and from the gutter - Oneshot, angst, smut, side BaekXing and murders. Kyungsoo is an associate of the biggest mafia ruling the city. He’s constantly in danger but one assignment officially makes him a dead man. An intense great read ; I’m not a fan of open endings but holy damn, I loved it.

and your sexy enemies closer - SeKaiSoo, based on the Love Shot MV, with bits of crack and uhm, a weird fingering scene. It was pretty good and unsettling because my first KaiSoo+someone fic.

I really don’t wanna let this rec go, but here, the latest pure mafia!AU rec. You can also (re)check other awesome fics here for extra action. And, well, long live KaiSoo, with lots of guns and rainbows.

- Admin Cookie

@icequeenpalace (Hey lovely reader! I am so so sorry for deleting your ask. I didn’t notice and our hero admin J in here told me about it. I hope you still know that it is for you too that this list has been formed and that I am sorry for the accident. PLEASE ENJOY ANYWAY AND FORGIVE A SMITTEN SOUL.)

Tag Game: 5 Male (BL) Characters That I Love!

TAGGED BY: @tharntypesupportclub

I’ve been thinking on this ALL DAY! I’ve seen so many shows and movies so I had LOTS of options. Here we GO! In no particular order.

Takumi from Takumi-Kun Series

One of the VERY FIRST dramas I ever watched. Takumi was such a quiet, but sassy bean. I really enjoyed how even though he was reserved and to himself, he rarely took crap from anyone ESPECIALLY GII! His story was very interesting and he was a complex guy.

Tharn from TharnType the Series

Look I love Type, I really do. BUT ANYONE WHO CAN PUT UP WITH A BRAT LIKE HIM FOR LIFE DESERVES A SPOT ON MY LIST. Tharn had the patience of a saint. He just fucking gave himself to Type and waited for that boy to accept him. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!

Chisoo from Long Time No See

LISTEN! My favorite hitman. Chisoo is an OG. He turned on his whole organization just for bae (even if he was double crossed). I love anything with action and romance and Chisoo was another complex guy. Watching his different lives war with each other was interesting and he deserves the happiness and family he always wanted.

An Ziyan from Like Love 1&2

My favorite smug rich boy. I loved watching him fall completely and deeply in love with Maiding. He seemed like a cold, standoffish, and arrogant guy at first but honestly he was so kind and smart and well-rounded and he was a really, really fashionable person...

Mork from Dark Blue Kiss

I was torn between this guy, his daddy(boyfriend), and his bestie. The 3 of them were actually my face, but I really LOVED Mork. My shy emo bby. I loved watching him take his time getting together with Sun. He was a very relatable and realistic character and I loved that he took no shit from anyone. He was kind, and honest, and very straightforward which I appreciated.

Honorable Mentions:

Sun, Rain from Dark Blue Kiss

Pharm, Win from Until We Meet Again

Fighter, Tutor from Why R U the Series

Kongpob from Sotus

Phun from Lovesick the Series

Shao Fei, Tang Yi from History 3: Trapped

Zi Xuan from History 2: Crossing the Line

Xi Gu and Hao Ting, The Boy CLIQUE from History 3: MODC

I’ll tag: @feelingwild @maabebe @diptripflipfantasia @satouchan @whatisadecentusername @daysinjuly @fairytalelovedramas @tao-taylor and whoever else wants to share

Things I'd like to draw but can't decide and I know I don't have enough resources to do them all:

Filia - various

Lina - casting a spell

Amelia as a sailor senshi

Zelgadis

Sesshomaru

Ichigo - himself and as vasto lorde

Hichiichi

Ishiichi

Uryuu Ishida - various

Ryuuken - alone and with Katagiri

Yumichika with flowers

Iron Maiden Jeanne

Tao Ren

Remake of that old Lyserg and Morphine switching roles fanart

Original composition - not fanart, doesn't even have to be new, i have plenty unfinished sketches

Halloween pieces with Lina, Filia and Xellos

Also things I want to write:

Filia rp and drabbles about her relationship with the Flarelord

The village being attacked and Filia acting out to protect both Val and the villagers, dragon transformation and all

That Xelfi AU based on the Lucifer show where Xel is a mob hitman of the underworld and Filia is a detective with unaware heavenly powers

Xelfi AU based on that pic with the gang where Lina and co. have a mechanic's garage and participate on motocycle races and Filia is a highschool girl, Xel is a biker and they get involved in some rival biker gangs suburban war

Finish that Pluviophile piece about Uryuu (kinda n s f w)

Arabian AU Ichiishi fic, about Ichigo going to another dimension after touching a magic artifact in a antiquity shop, Uryuu is a prince, a war between 2 kingdoms is about to start, parkour in an old arabian town

I tend to work depending on my mood because its, after all, a hobby...but my mood is really....lets just say unhelpful lately so maybe I need a push to finish something, anything.

I’ll try working on something anyway BUT if y’all* want anything in particular from these lists I’ll prioritize it. Just leave a “vote” in the comments.

* by y’all I mean the people following me

#bleach #slayers #sesshomaru #shaman king #I post a lot of trash anyway #at least have a chance to vote for something you'd like to see from me #it was supposed to be a list for me but it turned out in a sort of poll

Jiangshi - IV

Jiangshi Masterlist |

Genre: Drama/Noir | Mafia!AU

Word Count: 1896

The sky was pitch black by the time you had finished your shift, and the only light outside the hospital were the lamps on the streetlights scattered around the parking lot. You pulled your coat tighter around you as you stepped out onto the asphalt and away from the lights of the hospital. You checked your phone. 3:15 am. You sighed and accelerated your walking pace, desperate to get home as soon as possible so you could collapse onto your bed and get some well-deserved rest.

As you walked along the sidewalk, your figure was illuminated by the streetlights and then plunged into darkness at equal intervals. Usually, you felt quite safe walking home. Your neighbourhood wasn’t a bad place, but you felt your heartbeat quicken when you finally noticed the sound of shoes being scuffed against the ground, gradually getting louder from behind.

You were too scared to look behind. Dread filled your chest and your mind ran through every possible worse case scenario, only adding to your anxiety. Your footsteps quickened. Your fingers reached into your coat pocket, wrapping tightly around your phone. If you couldn’t call for help at least you had something solid to throw at anyone who intended to harm you. The scuffing noise drew closer, and you could sense the presence of a body approaching.

Goosebumps prickled your skin when you could hear the sound of breathing, and soon enough, an arm brushed against your own, making you gasp in shock. You watched as a tall figure appeared in your line of vision, dressed in camouflage pants and a black hoodie which was up, concealing its face. You let out a sigh of relief as the person passed by you and continued down the street.

“Just relax,” you told yourself. Your sleep deprived mind was playing tricks on you, and there was still another good 15 minutes before you reached your apartment. Spotting the convenience store that you always passed up ahead, you decided that it wouldn’t hurt to buy some cheap coffee or energy drink. You would probably fall asleep when you got home regardless, and the motion of drinking something should be enough to keep you focused.

You pushed open the door to the convenience store and a doorbell like noise sounded, alerting the register boy of your presence. The poor employee had been sleeping soundly, his head propped up on his arm until you arrived. You felt kind of bad. He sent you a mildly irritated glare as he scanned your bottled iced coffee. You gave him an apologetic smile, thanked him and paid before leaving.

As you stepped outside and continued down the street, you noticed a car had been parked on the side of the gutter. The front tires were turned and half the car had been driven up to the sidewalk. Whoever parked it must have done so in a rush. Then, you heard the banging of metal and hushed voices coming from the narrow alleyway you always passed. You figured it must be someone from the apartments overhead taking out their trash, but when you passed by, you were greeted with an unusual sight.

With the dim street lamps as your only source of light, you could make out two figures next to a dumpster, tossing in what looked like a mannequin. You couldn’t be sure though, you saw the object for a split second before it disappeared from sight. The two men grunted as they released the object, and it hit the bottom of the dumpster with a dull thud, rustling the garbage as it landed. They quietly shut the lid and turned to leave the alleyway, but then, they spotted you standing by the entrance.

The two men froze just as they had stepped into the light of the street lamp. You could see them more clearly now. Both adorned black trench coats and leather gloves. You couldn’t be sure, but from what you could see, they were most likely wearing suits deduced by the single perfect crease in each pant leg and the lustre of their shoes. Their outfits would’ve looked pristine and expensive if it weren’t for the dark stains on each of their coats as well as the dirt on their faces. Was it dirt? It looked more like…blood.

Oh no.

You tensed when you made the horrifying conclusion which did not go unnoticed by the two dangerous men standing in front of you. Your foot instinctively took one step back, and the two men glanced at each other with seemingly expressionless looks, but their eyes were filled with concern. One man looked back at you and reached into his pocket, and you saw the shape of a long, blocky object stretch the fabric of his coat. The second man’s eyes hardened, and he advanced towards you.

You backed away in fear just as he pulled the black gun - fitted with a silencer - into view. You were meaning to turn and run for your life, a scream ready to erupt from your throat, until a stiff body collided with your back. Whipping around, you noticed the hooded figure from earlier. HIs eyes were barely visible underneath his hood and the rest of his face was covered with a mask.

The scream worked its way up from your throat, but the sound was muffled from the hooded figure’s gloved hand. Another arm tightened around you, pressing you against the figure’s body. Fear and panic flooded your veins as you ride to wriggle your way out of his hold, but he was incredibly strong.

You saw him flick his head to the side, and you heard the footsteps of the two men as they walked around you, got into the badly parked car and drove away. You had stopped screaming and struggling at this point as you were busy trying to process this situation. Your answer was provided when the figure peeled back his hood, and two familiar cat-like eyes appeared in the dim light.

“You,” you breathed, both relief and apprehension lacing your voice. It was the mysterious blonde from before who always showed up with the most unusual and borderline fatal injuries. Although, you couldn’t call him the mysterious blonde anymore as his hair was now dyed an ashy black.

He tugged down his mask and it confirmed his identity. “You sure have a way of attracting dangerous people,” he stated, a hint of laughter in his voice.

“It’s not like I’m asking for it,” you replied stiffly.

A chuckle slipped past his lips. “I’ll have to keep an eye on you then. I can’t have my favourite doctor getting into any trouble with the mob.” As he said this, he tightened his hold, and you realised he still had his arms around you.

Blushing, you stepped away and slipped out of his hold. “So, are you some kind of…mafia boss?” you asked uncomfortably.

“No, I’m just a hitman. Nothing special,” he answered, a smirk resting on his face. You nodded, too anxious to ask any further questions.

This man was incredibly dangerous, and you were regretting ever helping him, but at the same time, you were glad that you did. This mysterious man was oddly intriguing, and you worried about him more than you’d care to admit. Somehow, your mind always wandered back to him, wondering if he had received any new injuries. As you thought, you shuffled your feet and let the silence envelope the two of you.

“I should go. But can you do me a favour?” he asked.

‘What is it?”

He took your hand and pressed a single gold coin into your palm. “The Cleaners will be coming any time now. Give this to them and say it’s from the Jiangshi.”

“Jiangshi. Is that your code name?”

He gave you a weird look. “I have quite the reputation you know,” he said monotonously. He suddenly leant forward so that his lips were just by your ear. “But for you, just call me Tao.” His name rang through your mind. “Now don’t go telling that to people,” he breathed, pulling back.

“Or you’ll kill me?”

He smiled. “No, but I’ll be disappointed. Tao adjusted his mask so that it covered his nose and mouth before pulling up his hood. “Goodnight Y/N,” he said before walking away.

Your eyes widened in slight surprise. “How do you know my name?” you asked aloud, but you heard him laugh before he disappeared into the shadows of the night without a trace.

You were left alone on the sidewalk, the early morning winds biting at your legs. You pulled your coat tighter around yourself and looked at the circular object in your hand. The coin was larger than normal currency, about an inch in diameter. There was some sort of sigil pressed into the gold consisting of a man holding a shield surrounded by olive leaves. The words Ex Unitate Vires decorated the top of the design. You flipped it over and depicted was a lion standing in front of a shield with the words Ens Causa Sui above. The coin felt heavy and of great value.

A van suddenly pulled up to the sidewalk and its engine shut off, but the headlights were left on. The words Joe’s Cleaning Company was printed on the side in large blue lettering. The door was slid open, and two men in white hazmat suits, each carrying a large duffle bag. Another man exited the driver’s seat. He looked old, in his early 60’s maybe. A Gatsby cap adorned his head, hiding silver strands of hair. The old man gave you a curt smile before you turned to look at the others.

Your jaw dropped in shock when the two men in hazmat suits pulled a body out of the dumpster and began wrapping the corpse in newspaper. One pulled out a roll of clingfilm, and the two worked together, tightly binding the body with the clear plastic until it resembled an ancient Egyptian mummy. They worked quickly, like they had done this a thousand times before. Soon enough, the body was carried into the can, and the dumpster was thoroughly cleaned with chemicals.

“Have you got our payment, love?” asked the old man with a smile, just as the hazmat men had finished packing away their equipment.

You held out the coin and dropped it into his outstretched hand. “It’s from the Jiangshi,” you said, remembering what Tao had told you to say.

The old man seemed to freeze at the name, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise. “Well, he’s been quite busy hasn’t he?” whispered that man, mostly to himself. He eventually snapped out of his trance and bowed to you, mumbling a goodbye before re-entering the van and driving away.

You stood there in a daze, trying your best to process the events of the night. It was too surreal for you to completely understand. Your mind swam with thoughts of Tao and what kind of world he was a part of, as well as how it involved you. Were you now part of this hidden, underground world?

By the time you reached your apartment, the sun was beginning to peek above the horizon, and your thoughts clouded together in a white haze before you passed out onto your bed.

A/N: This is for that one anon who loves the series enough to send me an ask telling me how excited they were for the next part. So here you go. See guys, I just need a lil bit of encouragement <3

And thank you to everyone who actually reads this series.
