Don't Turn Your Back
Tumblr media
Tenth Doctor x GN!Reader
Part 1: Don't Blink Part 3: Don't Look Away Part 4: Dreams See Us Through
Summary: If you never see a Weeping Angel again as long as you live, it'll be too soon.
Requests: Open!
Tag List: @nyxiethesimp
Warnings: Weeping Angels.
When the Doctor said "Let's find out why this Weeping Angel is stalking and torturing you," you weren't exactly sure how he intended to do that.
You were not expecting him to propose establishing a psychic link between you and the Angel in question.
"Absolutely not," you'd said, adamantly. "Find another way -- I won't have that thing inside my head."
"It's the only way," he'd said, and damn if he wasn't a bloody good liar.
"I hate you," you'd said.
To which he'd smiled and replied, "You know you're dying to know." And damn if you weren't convinced he couldn't read your mind, sometimes.
So now, here you sat, with some odd machine he'd fashioned out of scraps sitting atop your head. "I don't like this," you told him nervously.
"Oh, but you look great," he told you with a smile. Despite his blasé attitude, you remained unconvinced. He was a little too casual, yet for some reason he wouldn't meet your eye.
"What's wrong Doctor?" you finally asked as he adjusted the machine you wore. "Why won't you tell me the other options?"
"Because there aren't any," he said, yet again.
"Doctor, I know when you're lying."
"Because the only other option is to let you die," he snapped, voice broken and movements suddenly jerky as he was overcome with emotion. "And I will not let you die."
"Oh."
You regretted asking. And yet, you persisted.
"So this is safe?"
"No," he replied with a sigh. "But you have a better chance if we do this than if we do nothing. If we do nothing... the Angel will get bored, and..."
"It may not send me back... like the other Angels do."
"Are you ready?"
"No."
"Starting on the count of three."
He counted down, turned the machine on... and then everything went black.
You could tell something was off even before you opened your eyes, but opening them certainly confirmed your suspicions. You found yourself back in your flat, but the world around you was strangely dark and covered in thick mist -- even though you were inside.
Not a fan of that, you decided.
Walking through your flat didn't reveal anything out of the ordinary, besides the darkness and the fog. There were no ghosts, no angels, no Doctor, no... anything.
You were alone.
How were you supposed to tell him? How would he know to pull you out? Those thoughts, among others, ran through your head as you made your way outside to look around the garden. Finding more nothing, you moved on to the street.
You saw the TARDIS on the other side of the road, its light dim and ominous in the oppressive dark of whatever Hell this was.
You wanted to run towards it, and into the safety of the TARDIS, but movement to your left caught your attention.
Oh.
The Angel.
You sucked in a steadying breath and walked towards it.
"Why are you doing this?" you asked as you neared. You hadn't expected your voice to echo. It freaked you out a little. This whole place did. The situation, too.
The Angel didn't answer you.
"Oh. Do I need to turn away?" you asked, genuinely. You blinked and when your eyes opened you could've sworn the Angel's lips were slightly more upturned. "Okay. I'm here to talk. I'm here in good faith. Please don't kill me... I... I'm trusting you."
It was a terrible decision, really, but what choice did you have?
So you turned -- and closed your eyes for good measure.
"Why are you doing this?" you repeated.
A voice not unlike two rocks grinding against each other whispered in your ear, "Revenge." And as quiet as that single word was, it still echoed around you.
"But I've never seen a Weeping Angel before," you whimpered. "How could I have done anything to you worth revenging over?"
"Not you," the voice whispered.
Oh. Well, the only other person that left was the Doctor.
"What did he do?" you asked, even though you didn't actually want to know.
"He killed my sisters."
"I... I'm very sorry," you started, swallowing thickly. "That must've been... terrible. I can't imagine."
"He took something from me," the voice continued, "something I loved. So now I will take from him something he loves."
A nervous laugh bubbled out of your throat. "The Doctor doesn't love me."
"Foolish human," the voice said, and there was just enough threat in those words for you to instinctively open your eyes and turn around.
The Weeping Angel was gone.
Nerves alight and mind about a hundred times more exhausted than it was when you first entered this place, you sighed and wearily turned to the TARDIS. Walking inside revealed that it was just as dark, misty, and creepy as everywhere else.
But you could see yourself sitting in one of the seats by the console, unconscious. The Doctor hovered beside you, his hands clutching yours desperately. He kept whispering to himself, but in this place they echoed right over to you, clear as day --
"Come on, come on, come on."
Over and over, just those two words.
You watched sadly for a moment before you made your way to... well, yourself. You weren't really sure how to wake yourself up, but were willing to try anything and everything that came to mind.
Which was how you found yourself going through a series of ridiculous attempts that included yanking on wires, chanting in Latin, screaming in your face, slapping your face, and dancing the hula.
After everything you tried failed, you dropped to the floor with a whimper and closed your eyes.
You awoke with a jolt, gasping desperately as if you'd been holding your breath for several minutes.
The first thing you saw was the Doctor, still hovering over you. He looked incredibly relieved to see you back, unharmed. You let him take the machine off, and though you felt incredibly heavy suddenly you let him pull you into a hug, too.
"What happened?" he asked as he pulled away. "What did it say?"
"It..." God, you were so tired. Why were you so tired? "It says it wants to kill me because you killed its sisters...?"
You could see him pondering that, eyes searching the air as he tried to recall a time he may've killed some Weeping Angels. All the while, his hands still held yours. It was a small comfort, but a comfort nonetheless.
If he remembered at all, he did a strangely good job of hiding it, though you supposed it helped that your sudden swaying drew his attention away. "Hey, hey," he cooed, pulling you up and into his chest. "Let's get you to bed, eh?"
You shook your head, pushing yourself gently away from him. "I need... to think. Erm. I'm gonna take a shower. And then I'll go to bed..." You nodded tiredly but resolutely and made your way to your bathroom.
The shower you took was long, just shy of blisteringly hot, and not nearly as productive as you'd hoped it would be. Your thoughts kept running in circles, or else running away from you altogether, and chasing them only served to wind your anxiety up like a rubber band about to snap.
And snap it did.
You hadn't even realized you were screaming until the Doctor was pulling you out of the water and gently shushing you. You only sort of quieted, your screams simmering down to sobs as you clung to him. He held you firmly, protectively, whispering such gentle words of comfort and encouragement in your ear even as your cries filled his.
"Oh, it's all right now," he soothed, petting your wet hair. "I won't let it hurt you, eh? I promised I'd keep you safe, didn't I?" He sighed when the only response he got was a sob, and pressed a kiss to the top of your head.
Carefully, and much to your confusion, the Doctor managed to move to a stand with you cradled in his arms. You didn't protest as he carried you to your room (again), nor as he set you down and swaddled you up under the covers.
As you started to come down, you realized you were still naked -- that the Doctor had pulled you out of the shower and held you and carried you all while you were naked, but honestly dealing with that would have to wait until you weren't exhausted.
Once he was, seemingly, satisfied with the cocoon he'd surrounded you in, he leaned forward and pecked your forehead, then moved to leave.
"Doctor, please don't," you begged quietly, still sniffly.
He paused for only a moment before he turned back to face you, before he came to sit on the edge of your bed, before he scooted in next to you and laid beside you.
He didn't even need to speak for you to feel comforted. Even just turning to face him and nuzzling up to his shoulder had you feeling immensely better.
He rested his cheek against the top of your head and silently stared up at the ceiling as you yawned and sank into him. It took a long while for sleep to come for you, but when it finally did, it came hard and fast.
You were haunted by nightmares of moving statues.

"Playing with Balls are Not For The Weak (Pause on that.)"
15! basketball plyr! chuuya x gn! reader - HIGHSCHOOL AU, HEADCANONS + DRABBLES
a/n: as per request, thank you @sstarshroom my pookie ☺️, sincere apologies for the title its my toilet humor. next week will be dazai content im sorry my dear dazai fans
content: headcanons, drabbles, fluff, slowburn, pre-relationship,"in a world of boys, hes a gentleman", chuuya as them short hoopers, relationship of these two actually sucking at life, cheeky and smug chuuya, idiots in love, dumbass behaviour
as a classmate, chuuya would have a pretty big friendgroup but only really hang out with a few select people;
in class, he's quiet and focuses on school;
he's also naturally smart, a good 80s-90s student without much effort;
chuuya takes academics seriously but since he doesn't really have to work his ass off to study, he wouldn't be competitive in school, so sorry to all the academic rivals to lovers girlys
you know what he would take seriously though, sports.
and it's not even the serious shit, you could play dodgeball and he's sweating his ass off;
so certified hotshot of the school, short king energy, okay.
Your teacher tediously writes away on a few documents of paper, adjusting his glasses with the flick of his hand. "We have a few boxes from the food drive," he announces, catching the attention of your working classroom. "I need a strong person to carry them to the office, pleas-" a loud smack of a laptop closing can be heard, "MEMEME!!" the class goes silent, staring as your classmate, Chuuya Nakahara, happily voluneer to deliver a few boxes.
okay, okay, so as a classmate, people either think he's slightly irritating or alright, it's another story in gym class though, nobody likes him.
"Pass the ball- PASS THE BALL!" Chuuya yells, you couldn't lie; him wrapping a piece of red cloth around his head like some kind of warrior was sorta concerning? No, really concerning. The small boy leeches his arms out as defense, concentration written all over his face. You dribble the basketball a few times, about to pass it to him. "I said pass it!!" he shouts, rude. You furrow your brows in offense before harshly throwing the ball in his direction, aiming for his head.
Unfortunately, throwing basketballs at your own team player's forehead didn't result in an instant win. As you two sat on the bench, watching the current game along sidelines as Chuuya rubs his temple with an icepack, his red headband cloth resting atop of his knee, focussing intentively. When your team has been declared lost, he clenched the icepack in his hand and starts profusely running around the gym, mourning a gym class basketball game.
I mean, it's not like he's a terrible person though, you've seen the guy, he can be nice, he's got it in his system. Like one time in gym class, dodgeball specifcally.
"Ow! The fuck?" yet another dread of gym class was at your service, the heated air of dodgeballs flying left and right through the air overwhelmed you to say the least. And one of those balls just hit you right on the head, you pensively rub your temple, hearing a loud "You're out!!" from the opposing team.
Curse words roll off your tongue in embarrassment, about to do the walk of shame to the bench until a hand rests on your shoulder. "Hey," you twist your head around, seeing Chuuya approach you, as everyone else fights like their damn lives depended on it. "Did the ball hit your head?" he asks, the boy had short copper locks that framed his face pretty nicely, this time there wasn't a red cloth tied around his head.
"Yea," you quip, turning away from him, the hand on your shoulder lifts as you feel soft fingers brush away some of your hair from the side of your face. "Yeah, that's not allowed, you're still in the game, okay?" the redhead assures you as he casually takes a quick look at your temple. You nod releuctantly, as he pats your shoulder again a few times before smugly continuing the game. Since when did Chuuya Nakahara abide the rules?
You know, there seems to be a reaccuring pattern between you two. Everytime you're near each other, someone always get hit in the face with a ball.
But, there seemed to be more casual conversations, ones that didn't include violence with sports equipment.
As a friend, Chuuya was teasing, he always said no to what you asked him to do, but ends up doing it anyway.
"Can you hold my bag?" you ask, "No." the redhead says as he grabs your bag anyway
but as a friend, he came with more benefits. a trustable walking partner.
It's that time of the season, December, where snow engulfed every pathway you walked on. It was one of those days after school, walking home in the freezing cold; but today was unlucky, you were caught in a snow storm. And apparently, your friendgroup is nowhere to be found.
To be honest, walking alone is kind of scary, intimidating, terrifiying. You would run, but ice was everywhere, tripping in public wouldn't be any better than fear.
You saw a black jacket, red scarf, and a backpack with soccer keychains and a massive waterbottle. Most obvious feature, was the black gloves the figure wore. "Chuuya!" you call out, the boy almost immediately spins around, nodding to you as a greeting. "What's up?!" he flashes a cheeky smile, the redhead was pretty far away from you, and you weren't just interested in a simple 'hello'.
"Can you walk with me?" you ask, shoving your hands in your pockets from the cold. The redhead doesn't falter his smile, not hearing you as he had earphones on. "What?" he asks, communicating with you whilst walking backwards; some assholes just don't care about splitting your head open on ice.
"Can you walk with me?!" you repeat, the ginger stops in his tracks, muttering an "ohhh" as he speeds towards you. Again, some assholes just don't care about their life. And so, Chuuya doing a quick slip and drop onto the sidewalk, in a snowstorm, whilst running to you would be the outcome of this story.
...
You immediately start laughing your ass off, watching as any smugness on his face completely disapates. Accepting defeat in every form. "Fuck!" you cackle, slapping your knee. You attempt to skedaddle to him, still laughing before.. Slip. You fall onto him, your elbow piercing his ribs, the boy chokes out a cry of pain before you laid together on the ground in pure defeat. You know what passing by cars thought of when they saw you two? Two teenagers laying on the ground, 'X' style, in the middle of a fucking snowstorm.
You made it home safely, having to make your friend and classmate, Chuuya Nakahara, hot chocolate as an apology.
yeah, having chuuya as your friend can get pretty hefty, and violence is all that seems to be thrown at your friendship;
as a friend, you and chuuya didn't feel like friends sometimes, it was weird;
he constantly asked you to come to his games, in all honesty - you were too busy or just felt like staying home;
there was one day though, you did come to his game, out of pure curiousity
and when he saw your face, accompanied with a wave, the teenager knew; he was inlove.
he was really bad at showing it though
After enough convincing, you finally showed up to another one of Chuuya's games, you've already once; but apparently this one was really important.
You were actually concentrating, it was getting really heated, time was getting thiner, and the scores were relatively even.
The crowd roared as Chuuya took the ball, running through the court with a focussed but cheeky look on his face.
Just as he reached the net, he yelled out the loudest, unexpected sentence.
"[Y/N]! This one's for you!!"
The crowd's jaw drops in shock and anticipation, whoosh, he missed miserably.
damn, you guys really suck.

Ritsu Sakuma x Reader ♡ Tags: Fluff, established relationship, casual romance, really wholesome, INTRO IS REALLY LONG, SORRY!, she/her pronouns ♡ Word count: 2,215 ♡ Synopsis: Inspired by the Meowsketeers scout story in which this card is featured in. I've been trying to read the scout stories since I never read them, and I thought that this one would be cute to add the reader in! Please note that this fic does not stay true to the story, but it has taken bits from it. A/N: There needs to be more Ritsu x reader fics.
Tumblr media
Drenched in sweat, Ritsu slowly woke up from his nap in the ES gardens. His mind was still filled with thoughts of what happened the other day when Tsukasa confronted and withdrew some of the new members of Knights.
Ritsu pitied them, but what was said was the mere truth. That's the way Knights operated, it was never a unit to have fun with as an idol. But seeing those tearful faces did take a toll on him.
At that moment, Ritsu felt something heavy weighing on him. It wasn't what happened that day, but something physical that he could feel near his stomach.
'Who is it? Am I being attacked? It's not those pranks Tsukipi set up, right?' he thought tiredly. Unless it's (Y/N)...? No... she said she'd be busy today–
Ritsu was getting annoyed. "Hold on. You don't disturb people when they're sleeping!" he groaned. "Now I'm in a bad mood... Don't mess with me– Huh?"
Eyes wide open, Ritsu found that on his stomach was a black cat.
"Ugh, so it was this guy!" he fumed. "Get off! You're heavy and it's too hot...!"
Yet the cat wouldn't budge. It stayed lying on Ritsu's stomach as if he were a pillow. Ritsu wasn't having any of it though, no one dares disturb his sleep even if they were a cat! Getting angrier by the second, he decided to fight it off him.
"Hey! Ow! Don't dig your claws in me!"
"That Suo, he's late!" exclaimed Leo. "What a troublesome guy! I came early today since he gets angry at me when I come late."
"Unbelievable! He's wasting my precious time!" Izumi chided. "This is so annoying. Did your wanderlust infect Kasa-kun?"
Leo laughed. "Eh? What, what? Wahaha, that's funny, Sena! I suppose it's fate that Knights' leader is to be cursed by wanderlust!"
Frantic footsteps could be heard as Tsukasa barged into the studio panting. He apologised, mentioning to his seniors that he got involved in a little incident with Ritsu. That was when Ritsu entered the room, still arguing with the black cat he encountered outside.
"I told you to let go of me, didn't I?! Why can't you understand me, you stupid cat?!" Ritsu growled. "Do my clothes smell like catnip or something...?"
"A stray cat got attached to Ritsu-senpai and it won't let go of him," stated Tsukasa.
"Unbelievable. This was why you were late?" said Izumi. "There's got to be some way to pull it off. Just grab it by the neck like how a parent cat carries a kitchen– Owah! This guy tried to scratch me! If you were human, I'd have you pay compensation!"
Arashi suggested that they all calm down and get started on the retrospective – the reason why they were holding a meeting in the first place. If they ignore the cat, perhaps it would let Ritsu go!
But as Arashi started playing the video of their live, Leo noticed something. In the video, Leo pointed out the front row seats where beside a fan's feet, a black cat was seen.
"This guy, it saw Ritsu at Knights' live and came to meet him!" said Leo excitedly.
"Hah...? No way! That sounds so unrealistic," Ritsu replied before turning to the cat which started showing him affection. "Owah, what? Don't start licking my cheek!"
"Given its reaction, it probably did come to meet Knights," said Tsukasa. "Isn't it just the cutest? It probably fell in love with Ritsu-senpai's brave figure at the live!"
"What?! Don't say things so nonchalantly!"
But the other members of Knights had agreed to let the cat do what it wanted despite Ritsu's comments on how much of a disaster this was.
The cat didn't let go of him even during the retrospective. It lay sound asleep on Ritsu's lap. Knights had come up with a name for the cat too, 'd'Artagnyan', their 'newest knight that was drawn in by Knights.'
Ritsu didn't like this idea at all. He didn't see any resemblance between him and the cat that his fellow members were constantly pointing out too. Though, he didn't want to just kick it out. He wanted it to leave on its own volition.
"It clings to you like how you cling onto (Y/N)," stated Arashi causing Ritsu to erupt into a steam of embarrassment. "Maybe it finds your scent comforting~? If so, it might be satisfied with something that has Ritsu-chan's scent on it..."
"Something with my scent?" Ritsu repeated. "Ah, I just came to an unpleasant conclusion..."
He was talking about his favourite blanket – the only thing in this studio that had his scent on it. But there was no way that Ritsu wanted to give this unlucky cat his favourite blanket!
"Ah, wait! Don't suddenly pounce for my blanket, you idiot cat!" huffed Ritsu as he tried to yank the blanket away. He was now on the floor fighting with the cat. "Give it back! I don't want such an unlucky cat to use my blanket! Guys, please help me out here!"
"Oi, oi. There's no need to get so worked up over something like this, right, Ritsu?" said Leo. "I know it's annoying, but it'll be dangerous if you get violent in here, no?"
"But I really like this blanket! I won't allow it to use it! Ah, don't scratch it–"
"Please calm down, Ritsu-senpai...!" sputtered Tsukasa.
But before Izumi could assert himself to scold Ritsu, you had rushed into the studio. Arashi had texted you about the situation before they started their retrospective, hoping that you'd come to solve the issue at hand. After all, you solved a lot of their problems before, it became customary to ask you for help.
"Ritsu, are you okay?" you asked worriedly, bending down. "Hey, what's wrong? You're not usually like this."
"(Y-Y/N)?!" Ritsu blurted, perplexed at your sudden appearance. "W-What are you doing here?"
You answered that even though you were busy with your own assignments today, you couldn't just ignore what was happening with Knights, with him.
"Is this what's bothering you?" You tried picking up the cat, but it immediately started hissing at you. "Ah! Okay, I'm not going to pick you up then...! Anyway, Arashi texted me all the details already. Why don't you just give up the blanket, Ritsu?"
"N-No!" he cried. "I can't!"
"I don't understand why you like that blanket so much," said Izumi. "I'll buy you a new one if that makes you happy–"
"That's not it! (Y/N) bought me this one!"
Everyone had gone silent over that fact.
"Then I'll buy you a new one," you offered.
"No!" Ritsu protested. "You got this for me when we were first years! I can't just let that go!"
Ritsu usually wasn't this worked up, so you knew he was upset about something other than his blanket. But you also knew that he was a very sentimental person too, so you couldn't just force him to give up something that he truly loved. It was sweet that he had kept this blanket up until now though. It showed how much he loved you.
"I have an idea," you suddenly said. You rummaged through your bag and pulled out a white sweater. "This also has Ritsu's scent on it."
"Wait," Ritsu began. "That's my sweater."
"Mhm, my favourite one too!" you giggled. "If we give the cat this, then it'll give up on the blanket!"
"B-But (Y/N), you love that sweater...!" he said.
"I do, but you love that blanket too, right? I'll give this up so you can have your blanket back!"
With how selfless and thoughtful you were being, Ritsu had finally cooled down.
"N-No, it's fine," he said sadly. "I'll let it keep the blanket, you keep the sweater, okay? I'm sorry, everyone, I went overboard. I didn't mean to hurt anyone."
"Ritsu..."
He picked up his blanket with the cat still attached to it and left the building quietly. The meeting with Knights had come to an end. You sighed, apologised and thanked Knights for putting up with your boyfriend before following after him.
Ritsu was situated on one of the tables at the ES gardens, his head laid on his arms as he watched the black cat sleep in his blanket.
"It's my fault that Knights ended up fighting again... If only this cat hadn't been there. No, I should've been calmer..." he murmured. "It would've been better if I had analysed the situation calmly like I usually do, and brought it to a positive conclusion..."
"Ritsu~" you called out.
With the sound of your voice, his eyes immediately gravitated towards you. He didn't lift his head though, he was too tired for that.
"(Y/N)..."
"Here," you said, pressing a cold can of soda to his cheek. He cried at the coldness but quickly covered his mouth from being too loud. He didn't want to wake up the cat despite how annoying it was today.
"Ah, thank you..." he said, taking the can from you. He laid it in front of him, not opening it. "(Y/N), I'm really sorry about earlier. You were busy, and Nacchan had to call you over to deal with something so small."
"Eh, it's okay~," you said. From behind, you wrapped your arms around his neck, holding him close to you. "I'm nearly finished with my assignments anyway. But Ritsu, are you really okay?"
Ritsu strained a smile, but he held your arm in a way to comfort himself. "I'm fine now. I'm going to sit here and reflect on my actions until this stupid cat wakes up. If I ignored the cat in the studio and it gets restless, it might be even more troublesome."
You laughed. "It's so cute when it's sleeping. It reminds me of you."
"Eeehhh? Why does everyone keep saying that?" he asked.
"Well, it's cute and you're cute! Also, it takes naps just like you, hehe~"
Ritsu sighed but laughed along. "Ah, you're wearing the sweater," he said, finally noticing the baggy look on you.
"Yep! I'm glad I didn't need to give it up in the end, but I do feel sad that you had to give your favourite blanket away," you said.
"It's fine. Maybe it'll let it go later..." he started. "Well, I hope it does anyway. I really do like that blanket..."
He chuckled, reminiscing the time you first got him the blanket. The two of you met just before entering Yumenosaki. You were Mao's friend initially, but he had introduced you to Ritsu during the time he had to repeat his first year. Ritsu had treated you coldly at first, but when you spotted him sleeping in the gardens, coming to know of his illness, you had decided to gift him a blanket for him to use.
It was a blanket you had bought at a shop in town, nothing special, but Ritsu thought the world of it. Even when he treated you so poorly, you were still so nice to him – to accommodate him in this way. He grew fond of the blanket, but he mostly grew fond of you.
After that day, he stuck to you just like the cat he was watching now.
"You know, I'm surprised it's still kept in good condition after all these years," you pointed out. "We're in our third year now... and it still looks brand new."
"I take good care of my things, (Y/N)~," he said. "And I'll be keeping that blanket for as long as I can."
You smiled and gave him a peck on the back of his head. "Anyway, aren't you going to tell me what got you so riled up? It can't just be because of the cat, right?"
"Ah, right..." he said. He opened the can that you gave him and began to drink the contents of it. "So, this is what happened..."
He explained everything to you, recalling what happened that day when they had to withdraw some of the new Knights members. He was honest with his feelings, how bad he felt when he saw those tearful faces, how bad he felt when he knew that those dreams were being crushed.
But after some reassurance from you, Ritsu felt a lot better. That's when Tsukasa showed up to check up on him too. A suggestion of finding foster parents for the cat was brought up which Ritsu agreed to.
By time, he grew fond of the cat albeit he still wanted it gone. But things had resolved themselves, and Ritsu was back to his calm, analytical self again.
You had come to say goodbye to the cat, d'Artagnyan, too. This time, it had let you hold it.
"Hehe, it really does remind me of you," you told Ritsu who immediately turned red. "Don't miss Ritsu too much, you hear me~? I hope you live a comfortable life."
Watching you be so gentle with the cat like that had Ritsu feeling some sort of way. He smiled gently to himself, appreciating that you were there with him, that you were there to console him and to listen to every word he had to say. There was nothing better in this world – even his favourite blanket – that would compare to you.

Crazy fan-theory / AU: what if Rosie was the one who has Alastor on his leash?
Alright, hear me out on this theory about Alastor and Rosie in "Hazbin Hotel." So, in the show, it seems like Alastor just casually strolls into Rosie's territory, asks for help, and boom, she's down with it. But let's dive deeper.
Rosie mentioned, "And old Alastor has never done me wrong before," hinting at a history between them. What if they had a binding demonic deal going on? Like, Alastor brings souls to Rosie, boosting her power, and in return, she hooks him up somehow? Maybe it all started with them teaming up to hunt demons, with Alastor broadcasting screams on his Radio Station, and Rosie's crew feasts on the literal bodies like an all-you-can-eat-buffet clean up crew. But then, because of some vague or confusing wording that created a "backdoor" in the deal, it twisted in Rosie's favour.
Alastor and Rosie working together isn't an implausible scenario, since we know Vox approached Alastor to team up as well. Now, why did Alastor pick Rosie over Vox? Simple. He found Vox too brutish and preferred Rosie's refined persona. He also just didn't vibe with Vox's goals: Alastor doesn't respect Vox because Vox doesn't respect his professional medium. Vox wants influence using media in the way the media corporations of real-life owns and influences us. Alastor takes pride in his radio profession, sees it as an art form from simpler but more refined times. To him, it was an easy choice between Rosie and Vox.
So, when Alastor brings Charlie to Rosie, he's not doing anyone a favor. It's a win-win for Alastor. He wins if Charlie + Cannibals lose because Rosie will be weakened and its not like the Cannibals are his people, and he ALSO wins if Charlie wins because then the Princess of Hell is indebted to him. He didn't have such high stakes in the gamble at all.
He definitely miscalculated his own strength when he faced Adam, and regrets it. Alastor likely thought he could take on Adam as equals. The fight worked out well enough in the beginning, Alastor was able to easily dodge Adam in his childish rage, and severely underestimated the First Man. Alastor knew that Vox would be watching, if not broadcasting it, so it was also an opportunity for Alastor to show off his sheer power to the masses.
Alastor is ADAMANT to remind all of Hell he is back, and just as fearsome. During his song against Vox: "♪ Let's begin... I'm gonna make you wish that I stayed gone. Tune on in... When I'm done, your status quo will know its race is run, Oh, this will be fun! ♪".
But his plan backfired BAD, and it made Rosie stronger because her people got to reap the rewards of the battle. EVEN WORSE, Alastor was wounded and nearly died.
"Great Alastor Altruist died for his friends?"
If he HAD died, the citizens of Hell would've thought he died for his friends since he, a powerful and feared overlord, has lived at this Hotel that supported the ridiculous notion of betterment and redemption. Completely against his personal brand. Word has surely spread of his return, especially news regarding his questionable choice of residence. In his breakdown song, it wasn't Alastor having an internal conflict between "omg I can't believe I nearly died for my friends??? These people?????? what the fk??" but more "i fked up, and this makes MORE people think i'm soft and weak, sacrificing myself for OTHERS".
So Alastor went back, because Charlie's team had won, as Plan B. Even if Alastor lost is fight against Adam, who could blame him? Charlie trusts him more now, and owes him BIG TIME. Not only because Alastor reached out to his 'friend' to help her, but he also nearly died fighting the biggest and most powerful person from the enemy team. With Charlie owing him big time now and their binding deal in play, Alastor's favor can be way more significant.
As for Alastor's initial interest in the hotel, it's likely he saw it as a chance to cozy up to the Princess of Hell and maybe gain some leverage to get out of his deal somehow.
I still can't rationalize the coincidence of Alastor and Lilith disappearing at the same time, so I'm going to ignore that for now.

Just for Tonight
Tumblr media
Request: 5 + hyunjin pls :3 and ty ! :3
Prompt:
5) “Let me call you mine, just for tonight.”
Pairing: Stray Kids Hyunjin x Reader
Genre: Angst
(**warning: language and steamy situations)
.
Having visitors early in the AM was not a common standard for you.
That is, unless it was Hyunjin.
Casually dating an idol was not on your bingo card for the year, but here you were, yanking open the front door of your apartment to usher in a man you never would have thought could acknowledge your existence.
It wasn't that you weren't worthy of dating someone who was a celebrity, it was that you assumed this particular one was much too expensive for you. Now, when talking about "expense," you weren't meaning that he spent large amounts of money. You were meaning that he looked expensive. His features, his movements, his aura. Everything about that man was extraterrestrial in the most enticing way (emphasis on the "extra"). He was walking art. No one should approach him in any capacity because no one was worth his time.
But then there was you.
He had admitted before that you brought a sense of normalcy to his world. The safety of your normal, little apartment. The stories where you talked about your normal job and your normal schedule. He craved these bits of your life, if only to live vicariously through them.
When he showed up on your doorstep, he looked like he could almost be normal too. With a hat pulled low over his eyes, baggy clothes to distort his frame, and a dark mask covering his mouth, he could be any person visiting their partner.
Only the two of you knew his secret...for now.
That's what he was here to talk about.
"What did the company decide?" you blurted before he even crossed the doorstep.
He didn't look up from his phone as he came inside, popping off his shoes as soon as he got past the entryway. Closing the door behind him, he leaned against the cold metal. "Is this really how you want to start?"
"If you don't tell me now, it's going to be all I think about," you said quietly.
It had been two days since an article was posted online about Hyunjin's dating life. Apparently, sources had leaked that he was dating a non-celebrity and had been for months now. They even had distorted security footage of the two of you leaving a 7/11 in the dead of night.
As soon as the news broke, Hyunjin was brought in for a meeting with his managers where he felt compelled to confess everything. It was then up to their PR team on how they wanted to deal with the situation. It didn't really matter what he wanted, and definitely not what you wanted.
If you could, you would keep Hyunjin tucked away from the world for as long as you could. It was selfish, but this was your worst fear. You didn't want the fate of your relationship to be in everyone's hands but your own.
Turning your back towards him, you muttered. "Quickly, please."
Hyunjin took a deep breath before starting, speaking as if he was reading a memorized script. "The company decided that it would be best to dispel any dating rumors. At this time in my career, it would be foolish to throw away what I've worked so hard for. Fans will not welcome the idea of me seeing someone, especially a non-celebrity. I'll be a weakness for the team, and I can't in good conscience let that happen."
You turned toward him, horrified. He looked back, a sad smile on his face and helplessness in his eyes. "They've asked that I stop meeting with you for the foreseeable future."
It felt like your chest was going to crack in two. Admittedly, you had both decided that you wouldn't put a label on what you had. You weren't dating seriously or exclusively, but it was unsaid. You had a bond and a love for each other that only grew more intense as the days went on. It seemed like a safety protocol to keep it casual, but in the end, it hurt no matter what you wanted to call yourselves.
"Fuck," you whispered, plopping on the couch. You weren't sure where to look, but it certainly wasn't at Hyunjin.
Biting his lip, Hyunjin nodded slowly. "Fuck."
"We should've been more careful," you croaked, on the brink of tears. "We should've ordered in and -"
"Y/N," Hyunjin sighed. Tilting his head, he smiled sadly again. "That's no way to live."
"It is when it's protecting you!" you squeaked. Dropping your face into your hands, you tried to focus on your breathing.
"You shouldn't have to protect me," you heard him say quietly. Crossing the room, he sat on the couch beside you and leaned his head on your shoulder. "I should be the one protecting you...and in a weird way, I guess that's what I'm doing."
"Oh yeah," you scoffed, popping your head up. "Breaking up will do such great things for me."
"Hey," he chuckled softly, sitting up so he could wipe at the tears sliding down your cheeks. "I really don't want fans to start meddling in your life too."
And that was a valid point. If you continued to date, how long would it take for internet sleuths to figure out your identity? And from there, how long would it be until an attack was launched your way? Your job, your relationships, your social life. Everything could come crashing down if your information got into the wrong hands.
You knew he was right, and you hated it.
"I'm sorry I dragged you into my mess in the first place," he said quietly. "It wasn't fair to you."
"Stop," you groaned. "I don't want an apology."
Hyunjin nodded, remaining quiet. You knew he was just as much at a loss for words as you were. However long your relationship was, it was one of the brightest moments in your life, and you never wanted to take that away.
"Normally when I'm dumped," you continued. "At least I get to be angry at the person who's breaking up with me. This time, I have to be mad at a whole corporation."
Hyunjin snorted lightly. "You can be mad at me if it makes you feel better."
"You're the last person I want to be mad at," you sighed. Looking toward him, you tried not to start crying again. "So this is it?"
"Probably for a while," he whispered. "Is it...is it okay if I still text you? From time to time?"
"I would be disappointed if you didn't," you smiled.
Pulling yourself to your feet, you tugged Hyungjin along with you. "Well, I guess we should rip the band aid off then."
Sliding your arms around his waist, you nuzzled your face into his chest. Without hesitation, he wrapped his own around your shoulders, encasing you in all that was Hyunjin.
"I'm going to miss this," he whispered into your hair. "I'm going to miss you."
"I'm going to miss you more," you croaked, leaning back to look him in the eyes. "It'll be okay."
He nodded, but you could see tears start to gather at his waterline. "Y/N?"
"Hm?"
"I know...I know you said you wanted to rip off the band aid," he started slowly. "And I assume that meant that I should leave quickly because it would hurt less...but..."
"But?"
"Can I be selfish?" he whispered.
Furrowing your brows, you looked up at him again. "What do you mean?"
“Let me call you mine," he breathed. "Just for tonight?”
It was suddenly very difficult to breath. Having one last night together would definitely break your heart even more, but it was tempting. One last taste of the man you never thought would be yours.
The last time he'd be tangled in your sheets. The last time you'd smell his cologne on your pillowcase. The last time you'd hear him tinkering in the kitchen, getting coffee ready for the two of you in the morning.
You had taken so much for granted before, not even realizing that it could all come to a grinding halt. At least if you had one more night, you could truly treasure those moments and commit them to memory forever.
It may make the pain even worse, but you didn't care. You were selfish too.
"It's going to suck so bad," you murmured. "But I guess it already does."
"I don't want to make things more complicated," he said quickly, but you immediately shook your head.
"Hyunjin," you said, your voice much more fragile than you wanted. "Please stay."
The response was immediate. Hyunjin's hands grabbed at the fabric of your sweater, balling it inside of his fists as he held your waist. Lips crashing into yours, and bodies swaying from the impact, you struggled down the hall to your bedroom, making sure no part of your anatomy broke contact.
It took only moments for the back of your knees to hit the edge of the bed and send you sprawling. Hyunjin climbed over you, familiar with the scene being played before him. There would be time later to go slowly and luxuriate in each other's attention. Right now was for fulfilling a need and a want so deep that it made you act on instinct alone.
He began kissing down your jaw and to your neck, causing small whimpers to escape your lips. The sounds only encouraged him, turning his gentle motions into ones involving teeth and tongue. As his mouth searched for your shoulders, he grew impatient with your sweater and started to yank it up and over your head. It wasn't long before he insisted that he wanted your skin against his, so he paused only to dispose his own clothing before carefully sliding your pants from your legs.
Kneeling atop the mattress, he looked down at you with reverence. His brow furrowed for a moment as he bit his lip and took you in. Reaching up, you tugged him closer before smoothing out the small line between his eyebrows. "You're not allowed to look conflicted. Not tonight."
"I wasn't conflicted," he said hoarsely. "You're just so beautiful that it hurts."
Your breathing hitched as he looked into your eyes. He wanted you to know that he was being sincere, and this was all as painful for him as it was for you.
Head bowing again, he caught your lips for a softer kiss this time. Using one hand for leverage, he used the other to cradle your cheek. The moment was so tender, you were certain you would just split apart when it was over. Breaking the kiss, he gave you another heavy look before moving his motions down your chest and stomach, only stopping to use his tongue when it suited him. Your small noises and gasps were his driving factor, so if he wasn't getting enough, he would work until his name fell constantly from your lips.
Settling himself between your legs, he glanced up at you with half lidded eyes. "Being away from this is going to be torture."
Reaching down, you pushed his hair behind his ears and gave a lazy smile. Your fingers quickly found their way to the strands at the top of his head, brushing through them once before grabbing hold. "Then make sure you give me something to remember."

"When they see us coming, the birdies all try and hide... but they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide~" (x)
---
New Dog's Life chapter today! ~ 3rd Life series fan-season
Chapter 27 - “Boil Over (Bdubs, Scar)”
❤️ Read on AO3
💛 Start from Chapter 1
💚 More Pixels Imperfect fics
---
Bdubs and Grian dance around each other while planning their jungle temple base design. Meanwhile, Scott comes out to Scar about his allay hybrid side. Scar, fearing his glitchy vex code will corrupt his friend, debates cutting ties. Honest conversations are had.
(First 1,000 words under the cut)
---
BdoubleO100 - Phantom
Status: Yearning
Captain of New Star Station's phantom hybrid flock
💙  🧡  💚
By the time Grian swings open the door, wings perky and smile bright, it's too late to deny they're both gunning for something more than "casual roleplay dynamic chat" this evening. Bdubs went and stuck the scarlet feather on a gold clasp, which now hangs from a string at his neck. What are we? is a syrupy-sweet red herring overlaying the actual question of the evening, which is, of course… What are we? Or 'What are we gonna be?' if you wanna get technical.
Grian's face is flushed like he's been swooping laps around New Star all night. His eyes flick low enough to glance off the feather necklace, then bounce up again like he didn't see it. He totally did. There's too much mischief in his eyes. "Whoa," he says. He's fighting back a laugh or grin. He's losing both attempts. "You're really glittery."
"So are you," Bdubs points out.
"Mine's a squeaky clean skin," Grian tosses back. "My plumage would always look like this if I wasn't gathering messy resources and building all the time. What's your excuse?"
"Look at you! Coming on strong, poultry boy." Bdubs pushes through then, knocking Grian with his shoulder. Grian's apartment opens with the sitting area on the left - couch unoccupied - and the kitchen to the right. The floor's so shiny, it must've been freshly mopped. Or licked? Is there a mob that licks the floor? Maybe sniffers do that, though he's pretty sure there aren't any in New Star Station.
Grian's wearing socks striped red and white like candy canes. He shuts the door with a huff, then quips over his lifted wing muscle, "It's Poultry Man. But actually, it's not Poultry Man- Who's he?"
"Yeah, yeah…"
"You got a new lip scar."
"Wait- For real? It crossed over?" Bdubs' fingertips jump to his mouth. Sure enough, the vertical gash Impulse made with his sword curls from his upper lip across his bottom. Yikes. It glows white against his hand. "Well… This'll all blow over soon."
"It looks like a soul wound. Did you get-"
"It's fine!"
There are places to sit at both the bar counter and in the living area. Grian didn't specify a preference. Bdubs realizes in that moment he's never been invited to Grian's place as a proper guest before. He's glimpsed it. But usually when someone's way down at the end of phantom hour and squirreled away in a building, he sends Martyn to handle it. Bdubs hunts the streets on raw wing power, but Martyn's a specialist. When it comes to twisting through little gaps, he's the best they've ever had.
He makes a split-second decision and walks towards the living area. There's a white rug, a nice coffee table, and plenty of room to sprawl. "Hey, did'ya ever find out why we're playing early next session?"
"What?" Grian mutters, tapping after him on socked feet. Then, "Oh, no… I've no idea. It's my birthday, though. Maybe that's why?"
"Hm," says Bdubs. Back in 3rd Life, he sat out a session once for birthday-related reasons. Grian seems like he's thinking the same thing, because he pauses between the couch and an armchair, hands resting on them both.
"… You think I'll miss next week?"
"I mean, if it were my birthday, I'd prob'ly write a list of things I wanted my basing buddy to do. I'm just saying."
"Well, just because it's my birthday, it doesn't mean it's his birthday. And he's not really one to miss a recording."
Yeah, that's true. One time in Limited Life, Grian tried his best to cover when his boss wasn't feeling well enough to focus. It must've really wrecked their sync-cord too, 'cuz Grian kept coughing and lilting sideways like emotions and viruses were dogpiling from above.
Honestly, Grian jumped online long enough to establish a bare-bones presence, then crawled into free-cam and flew off to take a nap. Took ages to find him when the session wrapped up, but there was this whole other side to the map where no one was really basing, and eventually they found his purple parrot soul tucked in a tree with his head under one wing. Figures. Hopefully he'll just stay offline next time, or else call someone in to wear his skin for a day like Cleo and Pearl did when they knew they couldn't make it.
Anyway, Bdubs cocks his head. "Weird day to run the session early though, right? You might wanna write a list of materials or something I can grab in case you're gone. Maybe we need to move base."
Grian frowns, wandering his eyes across the sitting area. His cheeks look full and flushed in the lantern light. "I'd still like a break from building bases that'll just be exploded or burned. I think I'd know if he wasn't going to play, though… Although, Season 9 is ending. What if he's quitting Hermitcraft?"
"Oh, I'm sure that's not-"
The glow of Grian's eyes dims in panic, his energy needed elsewhere as his soul starts to squirm. "What if he's quitting the Life series? I mean, maybe he had a fight with someone. Maybe he yelled at his friend?" He takes to pacing. Bdubs follows with ticking eyes, not breathing a word. Grian always paces when he can't settle down. His fingers fold in front of his mouth. "Maybe he doesn't want me anymore. Bdubs, this might be it. If he's walking out on Minecraft for good, this could be the last night I ever come off AFK."
"I'm sure that's not true, G." He keeps his tone as kind as he can, hands resting in his pockets. At least he doesn't have to concentrate on keeping his wings down. It's just the tail, and that's easy to curl away so it doesn't flicker or misdirect. "It's the middle of a Life series. He's not gonna ditch you. I mean, think of the viewers!"
"I mean, he could. He could just walk out. Maybe he's dying. Or maybe he wants Two to jump in and cover for me." Grian looks down at his body then and rubs his palms across his chest. A pulse of purple sparks darts across his wings, then fizzles out. Bdubs tilts his head, but doesn't jump in. Grian's not gonna want someone baby-talking him while he's flickering. "You know, I… I think he's probably moving bases out there. And he's been playing a lot of Phasmophobia. Maybe New Star's not going to recognize me as a Minecraft player much longer. I mean, that's what happened to Netty, right? Except for her, it was Sims."
"He's prob'ly just wrapping up obligations so he can say good-bye to Season 9 and plan for Season 10. We have meetings and paperwork down here. I bet they have do that kind of stuff out there too. He's got friends and a wife. You wanna talk? I mean, I'm not gonna have solutions, but maybe you can walk me through your feelings."
"He has a wife." Grian sounds… dazed. Shell-shocked. Like he's been clinging to a rope for a little too long and someone just came through and sliced it clean with a Sharpness II netherite sword. Uh. This isn't news to him, right? "He's married. Do you think he has a kid? Maybe I'm a dad. Well, maybe he's a dad… I guess I won't be one unless I want to be. Maybe that's why it's been a struggle to focus on Season 9. Bdubs, you have kids, right?"
Bdubs blinks. "Huh? Yeah. I mean… yeah, my beloved does." You guys all know that, right? His beloved's kids don't have their own accounts yet. Probably someday will, and then Bdubs will do what Impulse and Jewel did and request the newbie to move to New Star, like they did with the other two. They're expecting a third pretty soon, I think. He shrugs. Golly, it's weightless without his wings. "I get emotion bleed from 'em sometimes; they play on my account. I can tell 'em apart. They're sweet."

i don't get heart heavy
March 12: Loveless / AU (college AU)
Prompts: @mcyt-aro-week // ao3 Link: i don't get heart heavy // Title: Heart Heavy - Mother Mother
The room looked plain, drab even. Skizz could already see Tango’s pierced gaze. The only decorations were stringed lights, not even fairy lights, hanging from wall to wall. They weren't even on. 
A plant pot laid on the shared table, drying out. But none of that mattered to Skizz.
His eyes were locked onto the flag sticking out of the plant pot. A small green and white one. His eyes widened.
“This won't do. We'll have to bring in decorations, fix up the walls… Maybe bring in a fan or two… I can make one in a day or so, no issue...”
Skizz let Tango trail off with his new plans for their dorm. They'd arrived late in the afternoon, and the other person who seemed to be sharing the dorm with them was out. 
But elements of their presence remained. One specific element.
“-Skizz, are you even listening?” Tango seemed to finally notice Skizz’s absence. He turned, just slightly, to look over him. Skizz finally pulled away.
“Sorry it's just-” Skizz put his arm up to his head, brushing hair out of his face as if embarrassed. He felt his face heat up.
Tango glanced between him and the flag. “Oh. That's your one, right?”
Skizz hesitated before nodding. “Yeah…” He had no idea why he was so nervous about this, him and Tango had had so many conversations about their sexualities, why was he suddenly so anxious?
“...I think we keep that decoration then.” Skizz internally thanked whatever braincell that he and Tango shared, that Tango didn't keep pushing. His friend knew him so well.
Tango kept rambling on about decorations and eventually it became dark with not even a sight of their roommate.
Skizz clicked the jug on, prepared to make some noodles for them. He hesitated, glancing back to the flag before adding some extra. Just in case their new roommate came back. He wouldn't want to make a bad impression. 
And plus, if they didn't come home, him and Tango could share the leftovers on the couch tomorrow while watching bad robotics competitions.
Halfway through Skizz's cooking, the door creaked. His head snapped up.
His new roommate wore a dusty blue sweater and a few rings. His hair was curly black and stretched down his face to his goatee. He had dark skin, mottled with scars as well as socks on. No shoes, only socks. 
Skizz liked this guy already.
“Oh hey-” His voice was awkward. Unsure. “I wasn't sure anyone else was moving in, I would have shown you the place.”
“No need,” Skizz smiled before turning back to his pan. “The uni isn't really open with anything are they?”
That got him a laugh. He could hear ruffling from the door. “What are you making?” 
The conversation was lighthearted, almost fun. “Noodles. I've got enough here if you'd like some, but you'll have to be okay with soy sauce and chili.”
Their roommate laughed once again. “I'd never turn that down. I'm BigB, by the way.”
He was right next to Skizz, observing him cook. He seemed relaxed. 
But that didn't stop Skizz's heart pounding like a rabbits.
Did he ask about it?
“My name is Skizz-” His voice was tilted, slightly off centre. 
If he didn't ask now, he'd never get the courage to. “I like - I like the flag you've got on the table.” Great. Just vague enough to make it awkward.
“Yeah it's mine.” Skizz finally looked over at BigB, who was still talking in that slightly awkward conversational tone. He didn't seem to take it as an attack or anything, which Skizz had feared he'd do, (if someone asked him about his sexuality he'd definitely get defensive.)
Instead he seemed open about it. Casual. Relaxed. Everything Skizz hoped to be.
“I think your noodles are burning…”
Right. “Right!” Skizz turned back to the pan, tossing them around through the water. In fact, some had burnt, BigB was right. Skizz frowned, but didn't remove them. He could live with some burnt noodles. It hadn't killed him yet. 
BigB was starting to walk away. It was now or never. “I've got the same flag.” Casual. Nonchalant. That's how Skizz was trying to act. Exactly how BigB was.
He stared down at the pan, hearing BigB stop. Maybe it was nothing, maybe it meant nothing that their was another aromantic here. Maybe he was placing too much faith in the idea of solidarity. His eyes didn't leave the pan, even as BigB stepped closer.
“Wow… So you're also…” For once BigB looked thrown off guard. Skizz finally chanced a glance at him. His eyes were wide, “-thats so cool. So we're both aro, thats- that's really sweet-”
Skizz felt his tension lift at that. At BigB's approval. He'd feared rejection, annoyance or maybe even confusion, despite none of those being likely. Skizz felt himself smile. “Yeah… It's nice to have someone else who's aro around here. I- I thought I was the only one.”
It was such a stereotypical statement and made Skizz cringe. But BigB was nodding. “Absolutely. It's such a relief to know you aren't alone, I feel you.”
Skizz continued smiling even as BigB walked away to introduce himself to Tango. It was such a welcome surprise that he thought any second he might wake up from this dream. But even as he dished out their meals and spoke with BigB about their courses, everything stayed.
And later down the line, Tango had brought a giant heart decoration for the room, painting them the same colours as the flag and declaring their dorm as ‘the heart foundation.’
It were pretty unsightly due to its size, but both Skizz and BigB agreed the dorm didn't look as drab as it had at the start of the month.

Hey there, so about that old post you made about wizard reader and Tesla hcs, it actually gave an idea of a request if it seens interesting enough to write it. So, in middle age people also thought scientists were wizards and witches (especially if they tried explain certain phenomenous like the earth shape and rotation around the sun wich physics now explain, or the origin of live that biology studies till this day). Then i can see a reader who tried proceed with their studies in those times while alive but ended up facing a bit of a cruel fate for such "heresy", but in a twist of events they were brought to Valhalla just like the future scientists in our history including Tesla. So in this kind of scenario considering they were more from a physics field, but still found time in their live to know a few other areas such as chemestry (wich they would probably know as alchemy instead) and biology, would you have any headcannons for them envolving Nikola, Marie Curie if you write for her and maybe Beelzebub? Considering how good is your writting i can only imagine how amazing this would turn out to be.

Oh my dear!! I didn't know my writing was sooo good 🥺🥺 I hope you like this and don't dissapoint you ><
I didn't know if you wanted romantic or platonic so i tried to keep it neutral
From now on i declared me a simp fan of Marie Curie
Tumblr media
Nikola Tesla
Tesla is a man that had dedicate all his life to his studies, wanting nothing more than share all his knowledge to the world, so if he has the opportunity to meet another scientist he won't even think twice, not matter if you work on another field of science
It doesn't matter too much if you two meet by casuality or that you approached him, he is just happy to talk to you. Also, for him it isn't really a bad thing if you just hang out once, just being able to talk to you and know more about you work just like he share his own with you makes him happy, but if you want to keep contact and even become friends he gets excited
Although, once you two become friends expect for him too be more interested on your work and him to talk about his own, he is always so excited to know about your work as much as he loves sharing his own. Besides, if you work on another field he will be asking you a lot of things about it, he is always excited to learn new things and having a specialist who can teach him just making so ecstatic that he can't help
Most of the time you two always talk with letters or even hanging out together, he doesn't have problem for one or another and is always excited when he gets yours news
Tesla had never liked when people call him a wizard or what he does is magic, all his efforts are motivated for his love for science and the memory of his brother (that he holds close to his heart) so when people say that is magic he take it as a personal offence, and he will complain a lot about when talking to you (specially when just happen), you could try to calm him down but it won't work so is better if you just hear him rant about how is science and not magic, however if it bothers you too then will be the two of you complaining and aggresibly talking about all your own studies
Tesla end up having a pretty long life and even when he had some troubles he is pretty satisfied of it, however it wasn't the same for you since you had died some time ago, either victim of others or from your own experiments, that will afect him but won't really stop from his work, prefering to keep your memory as a motivation to continue with his work (just like he did with his brother)
Once he wake up in the Valhalla he just take a moment to apreciate everything before starting to investigate his surroundings and planing to continue with his work. Finding him again would be just as when you two first met, meeting by accident or you approaching to him, in either case he will be ecstatic not giving you even time to finish whatever you were saying before hugging you tightly (may even hold you and spin around out of excitment)
Just as always he will ask you non-stop different things, about what you have done all this time and about this place as well as telling you everything it happened after your dead, and is until he is finally done with knowing anything and everything it happened when he start thinking on resume his work
If you had already started working again in the Valhalla he ask you about your improvement and ask to see your place of work, if you hadn't is not really a trouble because he is planning to do so and, of course, he invite you to work with him, together once again
Tumblr media
Marie Curie
Since Marie was a toddler her parents had always instilled in her the importance of the studies, and she just end loving studing and learning all she can
Even when Marie loved studing and investigation just for being a woman the world were making things difficult for her, still she just never give up and always found a way to get away with it, so she will never overlook the opportunity to meet another scientist
Even when she doesn't give importance in the gender the time where you two live do it, that is why at first she just act polite when talking to you, however for the love you two hold for science will make it easy for her to warm up with you and start to be friendly
If you two don't work on the same field of science she will take this opportunity to know more about that field, at first will be a little shy to ask about it and just ask some things when you start talking about it, but the more time you two pass together the more confidence she gets so at one point she will ask you more. On the other hand if you work in the same field of science is not a problem to her, taking the opportunity to talk a lot about it with you and your ideas (and this time without being too shy at first)
She is always happy to recive news about you, and even when she loves knowing about your work and ideas she is always up to talk about other things. Also, when she start to open up more with you she start to complain about how society is so unfair whit woman, leaving them with almost no option just for their gender
Marie is always curious and searching for more knowledge, so she is always excited to know more about your work, at first she is just happy to hear what you like to share, but the more time you two pass together the more she start to ask you for details about it and about your improvements, just like she does too, at first just share her work in a pretty superficial way but as you two get closer she trust you more with her work and give you details
Also, when you two get a closer relasionship and you win her fully trust is when she start telling you about her investigation with radioactivity, since is a pioneering research she prefer to talk about it in person with you so she can express her ideas and hypothesis better (along with introduce you to Pierre since they are working together)
Marie end up dying due to high exposure to radioactive materials so we can tell that she died by her own investigation, however she didn't regret it since she enjoyed all her life doing what she loved. If you encounter a similar fate before her she will be really affected for losing you, she had grow to care a lot for you and it would take her some time to continue, but she is completly sure that you were happy for the life you had so she decide to continue with her work with the memory of you close to her heart
When she wake up in the Valhalla she was really surprised, it took her a long time to realice what is happening because she is taking a lot of time to appreciate her surroundings, a little nervous to move from where she is because she doesn't even know where she is, but brave as always she brush off her worries and start looking around
When you two meet again she will be shocked, recognizing you in an instant and still freezing on the spot, it doesn't matter if you were the one who approached to her or her finding you she still freeze, slowly reacting by calling softly your name before running to hug you in a emotional and thighly hug
Without being able to calm down she separate from the hug minutes after and looking to all over you she asks you what you were doing there, passing hours that felt like a single moment talking about everything that happened after your dead and the place you were in
Marie doesn't think on continue with her work imediatly, so if it isn't your idea she will be the one who brings it up after enjoying the peace and beauty of the Valhalla and your company a little longer
Tumblr media
Beelzebub
Beelzebub has never been really interested in others, not humans nor gods, and since everyone just avoid him and even hate him he just doesn't see why even try to approach to anyone
He could be consider an scientist for the work he taked after meeting Hades, but still he is mainly focused on create someone stronge enough to kill him
That is why, for you to meet it has to be totally by your hand, maybe on day you are lucky enough and meet him, either casually or intentionally, or maybe you get into troubles (while trying to investigate something) and you end up meeting him, either way he doesn't really care about you (although if you were causing problems he may give you a warning)
Even when he can be consider a scientist he isn't interested in other's work either, so you have to be stubborn and insist, probably by hearing the rumors about his work you end up interested, still he find your insistence annoying
It could get the point that either you manage to sneak in his laboratory and he, tired of it, just let you be or that, again tired of you insistence he let you see what he is working on with the condition that you leave him alone, although once he let you in you weren't planning to leave
He finds you pretty annoying at first and may even threaten you if you don't leave him alone, but as time pass and you still insist on being with him and seeing his work he just give up and let you stay (he isn't going to accept it, but your interest on him and the admiration you have for his work flustered him)
He won't really talk much with you, essentially just answer whatever questions and curiosity you have for what he does, if you give him suggestion he most of the time just hum or ignore you, but in reallity he hear what you say and even really consider some of them
He doesn't ask you about your personal life or about when you were alive but if you want to talk about it he won't stop you, again it seems like he doesn't pay attention to you but he actually does and end up pretty interesed on your previous life and what you investigate back then, he even mentally make a comparation between your human life and the gods culture and knowledge (not to judge, he just find it curious)
He really didn't expected that back then people accuse you of been a wizard/witch or say that what you did was magic, it surprise him but at the same time he doesn't find it strange, what surprise him the most is that even existed a threat against scientists for the heresy (humans could be as cruel as gods, huh?), that is when he gets more interesed
He doesn't express it but he likes to have you around and end up really liking hearing your stories and ideas, and, even when he never let the two of you get a close relasionship, he had made clear that you are free to come over his study whenever you want if it help you continue with your investigation

Barbatos' Birthday Surprise (Part Seven)
August 24
One of the backstage staff guides us to the green room, where we're greeted by the sight of a couple of people playing ping pong. Our arrival causes the person facing us to look up, and a smile forms on his face.
"Is that who I think it is?" he asks, causing his female opponent to turn around to look at us.
"It depends on who you were expecting," Barbatos quips. The two people at the ping pong table--I assume they're band members--laugh at his retort.
"Well, it's about time you finally showed up!" Okay, now I'm confused. Have they met before? I was under the impression that this was the first time Barbatos has seen Severa in the flesh, but maybe I was wrong.
"Pardon me for interrupting, but am I missing something?" I ask. The band members turn their attention to me. The man smiles while the woman gives me a once-over. Meanwhile, Barbatos sighs.
"You could say that I've become a bit of a joke amongst the fans," he replies. "They like to poke fun at my bad luck, you see." Barbatos pauses, glancing over at the band members. "I didn't realize they caught wind of it as well." He sounds bitter, which makes me wonder just how much he's been affected by the teasing.
"Believe me, it's not like that at all." A third member--another man--reveals himself as he gets off the couch and faces the two of us. "We've found your predicament to be rather unfortunate, actually. Up until now, something has always prevented you from seeing us live, and that sucks, especially since you seem to be one of our biggest fans."
"He's certainly been one of the only ones that's been around since our EP," the woman replies. "That's some real dedication right there."
"The important thing is that you're here now," the first man states. "And with a date, no less. Would you care to introduce us, Barbatos?" Barbatos clears his throat as a slight blush begins forming on his cheeks.
"This is MC," he responds. "MC, these are the members of Severa. The two that were playing table tennis when we arrive are Mereth--" The woman raises her hand. "--and Branrnon."
"And I'm Zerruder," the other man announces. "But you can call me Z. Everyone else does." If I recall correctly, all three of them sing as they play different characters. Mereth plays guitar, Branrnon the bass, and Z the drums.
"You should come sit down," Z adds. "Mere and Bran were in the middle of an exciting game of ping pong." The eye roll indicates his sarcasm, causing Bran to reach over and smack Z's shoulder.
"That can wait," Mere responds as Barbatos and I walk around the couch and grab a seat. "I wanna know more about this lil' situation." She gestures at the two of us. "I assume that you were the one to get him tickets, MC?" I nod my head.
"I won them over the radio. The DJ did add a few extra things to go along with it, including these passes. I initially didn't know how much Barbatos enjoyed your music, but I knew he was into Devildom metal, and so I thought it would make a nice birthday present."
"That's right!" Bran exclaims. "Your birthday was a couple days ago, wasn't it?"
"Yes," Barbatos answers. "Although this is one of the few years I'm celebrating it. I normally just treat it like any other day."
"Yeah, I can imagine, given your job and all."
"The Young Mas--I mean, Diavolo--insists that I should celebrate it more often, but until recently, I haven't really seen the point." I wonder why Barbatos corrected himself. Is he trying to sound more casual? If so, why? It's not like the members would berate him if he speaks formally, would they?
"What made you change your mind?" Z asks.
"I don't think it's a what, but rather a who," Mere responds before Barbatos can even open his mouth. "And that person is currently sitting right next to him."
"Something like that," Barbatos mumbles, his hand reaching over and squeezing mine.
"Cut it out, Mere," Bran tells her. "You're making him all flustered." Mere scoffs.
"I think you're blaming the wrong person."
"Mere, enough," Z pipes up. "I know you like a good love story, but Barbatos doesn't seem to want to talk about that right now, and I think we should respect his wishes."
"It's not that." Our attention turns to Barbatos. "I'm just not used to being read like an open book, that's all. My position requires me to be more private about my emotions." He takes a deep breath. "I do like MC. They're a good person." I catch Bran glancing over at a clock.
"Do you guys need to get ready?" I ask.
"Unfortunately, yes," Bran answers. "I really do wish we had more time to chat, though." This prompts Z to jump up and dash over to a nearby table, where he flips open a notebook, scribbles something in it, and tears off the page.
"Here," he states, handing it to me. "Stick it in your pocket so you don't lose it."

Ivy Chapter 19
Tumblr media
DISCLAIMER: I just deepl and google translated my way through this because I wanted to know what’s going on, so there are definitely mistakes but I believe I managed the general gist of the story. Anyway, it’s just a fan-made translation solely for entertainment purposes. Morganatic Idol belongs to Cybird and ABC Frontier, Inc.
Tumblr media
The day after the re-presentation.
When I went to the living room to get ready for work, exe was just about to leave for work.
The other members were already gone, and Ivy-san, who was the last to leave the room, noticed me and smiled.
Ivy: Morning, Rina-chan.
Rina: Good morning.
Ivy: ... Huh?
As he approached, Ivy-san touched my cheek.
Rina: Ah, Ivy-san?
Ivy: You look a little pale. Haven't you slept much?
Rina: Oh, that's ...
... Last night, he and I had a chance to be together. I couldn't sleep because I was so nervous when I remembered that.
When I honestly told him that, he smiled blankly.
Ivy: Oh, I see. ... I thought something had happened.
Ivy: But it's the same for me. Your words made me so happy that I remembered them over and over again.
Rina: Ivy-san ...
Ivy: ... I have to go. I'll call you later. See you.
Rina: Y-yes. See you later.
He patted my head, and left the room.
... His demeanor wasn't only gentle but also sweet, which was clearly different from his previous behaviour.
(I really have a chance to be in love with Ivy-san ...)
Joy fills me with a sense of realization.
(I'm so happy that my re-presentation was a success ...)
I went to work feeling happy, but ... I soon regained my composure.
Yamauchi Kota: Kawanaga-san! Why didn't you reply!?
Yamauchi-san rushed up to me and looked at me in dissatisfaction.
Rina: How ... did you know my contact information? I didn't tell you.
Yamauchi Kota: I asked Mori-san. I told her I had a job offer for you.
(You mean you lied to get it out of herß9
Rina: Please don't do that.
I said this out loud, feeling a sense of discomfort welling up inside me.
Yamauchi Kota: Eh ...
Rina: If you want to talk about work, ask me during work. Please don't send me any more messages.
At that moment, I received a message on my phone.
(! Maybe from Ivy-san.)
Yamauchi Kota: K-kawanaga-san. I'm ...!
Rina: I'm sorry. Excuse me.
I walked past Yamauchi-san and headed for my desk.
When I checked my phone, the message was indeed from Ivy-san.
[I'll be back at the condo early today.]
[I need your help gathering materials for work. What time do you think you can get home?]
... The image of his face came to my mind, and my surging heart calmed down.
[I don't have to work overtime today, so I'll be able to go home on time.]
I received a reply immediately.
[Got it. Good luck for your work today.]
Even casual exchanges such as this one make me smile.
(I can't wait to see you ...)
... By the time I finished messaging with him, I no longer cared about the discomfort I had felt just before.
Yamauchi Kota: ...
After that, I finished my work on time as scheduled and left the company.
However, as I was walking toward the station, I felt a strange presence behind me.
When I quietly checked, I saw Yamauchi-san following me at a certain distance.
(Did he follow me from the office?)
The moment I realized that, a chill ran down my spine.
(I'm scared ..)
His incomprehensible behaviour filled me with an indescribable unease.
(What should I do? I can't go back to the apartment.)
He would know where I live, and above all, I must keep it a secret that I'm living with exe.
(It can't be helped, I'll take the long way around. I hope it works ...)
... I held back the fear that welled up inside me and started walking in a different direction from the station I usually use.
Ivy: ... She's late. You said you'd be home on time.
With this in mind, Ivy launched the location sharing app.
Ivy: ... are you on a different train than usual? Are you stopping somewhere ...?
Ivy: Rina-chan ... is something wrong with you ...?
... It was already quite late because I had been running around trying to shake off Yamauchi-san.
(I guess he's not here anymore. I'm glad I was able to lose him successfully ...!)
I almost collapse from exhaustion.
(It's well past 10pm. Ivy-san must be tired from waiting. I need to go home soon.)
But ... just as I was about to head to the apartment ...
Yamauchi Kota: Kawanaga-san.
Rina: !?
The voice coming from right behind me made my heart skip a beat.
Rina: Ya-yamauchi-san ...
I turned around and saw Yamauchi-san standing unexpectedly close to me.
(I thought he was gone already ...!)
There was a thick, obsessive look in his eyes he had fixed on me.
I don't know why he looks at me like this.
Yamauchi Kota: You finally turned around ... why are you ignoring me? You knew.
Yamauchi Kota: Don't run away from me. I just want to talk to you.
Rina: W-what are you doing?
My voice trembled with fear. I wanted to escape, but my legs were too weak to move.
Rina: Please don't follow me. How could you do this to me ...
... At that moment, he opened his eyes wide and cried out.
Yamauchi Kota: It's your fault!
Rina: Eh!?
Yamauchi Kota: Why are you trying to get away from me!? You know how I feel about you, don't you!?
(What are you talking about!? I'm scared ...!)
I had to escape. I ran forward on shaky legs, but within a few shaky steps, I was grabbed by the arm.
Rina: No!
Yamauchi Kota: Don't run away!
The arms pulling me closer to him gave me goosebumps.
Rina: Let go of me!
I swung my arms desperately to escape, and a fierce scramble ensued.
Yamauchi Kota: Why do you hate me so much!? You're always so nice to other guys, but you think I'm stupid ...!?
He was furious and pushed me away.
Rina: Aah!
The force of his oush caused my body to stagger and I fell over onto the roadway.
The lights of the cars coming toward me with their horns blaring burned my eyes.
(I will be killed ...!!)
... At that moment, a large hand grabbed my arm and pulled me up strongly.
Ivy: Rina-chan!!
With the same momentum, he hugged me tightly. Right after that, a blaring car was driving by.
Ivy: Are you okay!?
It was Ivy-san who saved me just in time, just before I was about to be run over by a car.
Rina: Ah, Ivy-san ...
Rina: I ...
Shocked and relieved, I relaxed ... and clung to his chest.
Ivy: I know you were scared. It's all right now, everything's okay ...
He wrapped me in his arms.
And ...
Ivy: Do you ... do you know what you've done?
Ivy-san turned his angry dragon-like eyes towords Yamauchi-san, who was standing frozen next to us.
Yamauchi Kota: No, no, it wasn't my fault! If she'd behaved herself ... I wouldn't have done what I did!
Yamauchi Kota: It's all her fault!
Rina: !
Yamauchi-san was extremely distraught and accused me.
Yamauchi Kota: Because she ignores me! I was the only one who was nice to her when the rest of the colleagues at work were shunning her!
Yamauchi Kota: I'm the one who took pity on you and supported you because you had no place in the company!
Yamauchi Kota: You told me that your contract was terminated, and I consoled you! And you turned me down ...!
... I'm struck by the words of obsession and anger.
(I can't believe he thought that ...)
Ivy: Shut up, that's enough.
However, Ivy-san interrupted him.
Ivy: That's your fantasy. Don't force your selfish thoughts on her.
I could see that Yamauchi-san was taken aback by the overwhelming force.
Ivy: This isn't a girl you should touch.
Yamauchi Kota: ...
Ivy: Go away and never come near her again ... or I won't forgive you.
... His voice was chillingly cold and filled with an anger I had never heard before.
Yamauchi Kota: ... shit!
... Perhaps in fear, Yamauchi-san fled the scene.
Ivy: ...
Ivy-san silently glanced down at me in his arms to make sure I was okay. Then ...
Ivy: Rina-chan ... thank goodness ...!
He twisted his face and pulled me even closer into his arms.
(Ivy-san ...)
I was hugged with so much force that it hurt ... and noticed how his body was trembling.
Rina: I'm sorry. Thank you so much, Ivy-san ...
... I could only apologize.
... Afterwards, I received treatment from him in my room.
Although nothing serious, I had sustained minor injuries when I fell down after the collision.
Ivy: I got home late, so I checked the app and saw that you were acting strangely ... I thought something was wrong, so I rushed over.
Ivy: What the hell happened? How long has he been following you?
Ivy: And what was that about the contract termination? ... Tell me everything.
I could no longer afoord to feel bad about it ...
Rina: Actually ...
I received numerous messages from Yamauchi-san, to whom I hadn't given my contact information.
And that my contract at the company was terminated ...
When I told Ivy-san everything, he looked grim.
Ivy: ... Why didn't you tell me?
Unable to bear the accusing gaze, I find myself becoming frightened.
Rina: I didn't want anyone to misunderstand my situation with Yamauchi-san.
Rina: And I didn't want to worry you when you were going through such a hard time ...
(But that's why we ended up like this ...)
Rina: I'm really sorry ...
Ivy-san let out a deep sigh and wrapped his hands around my own.
Ivy: What do you think would have happened if I had gotten there too late?
Unlike usual, his palms were extremely cold. I looked up to see him staring at me with a tearful face.
Ivy: When I saw you lying in the driveway, I thought my heart would stop ...
He hugged me tightly.
Ivy: I don't want to lose you ...!
The arms that clung to me were different from the usual Ivy-san who protected and reassured me.
Ivy: Don't go anywhere ... don't leave my side. You promised, remember?*
Rina: Ivy-san ...?
I had never seen him like this before. I could see how much it had worried him.
While I feel sorry for him ... I am also glad for his deep feelings.
(I can't believe you're this worried about me ...)
Rina: ... I'm not going anywhere. I will always stay by your side, Ivy-san.
Rina: This time, I mean my promise ...
Ivy: ... Rina-chan.
I promised again and hugged him back with the strong feeling that welled up in me ...
Tumblr media
Note: Thank you Ivy for giving me a chance to quip in again. First of all, dead eyes Ivy is back again.
Second of all, since I had already played chapter 19 when I translated chapter 18, I knew the location sharing app would come in handy. It's still extreme but it actually saved Rina's life though she probably wouldn't have been in this situation if she had just talked to Ivy. Anyway, I can understand why he's angry even though he's victim blaming her here. But definitely not as extreme as Yamauchi. This man is absolute scum.

We need to talk about Jimin's reaction to JK mentioning a marriage proposal. Although i dont think he was actually angry but he seemed a bit annoyed, and confronting Jk right there on live i was like🧍‍♀️😳. Also round of applause for JK handling it like a boss, he said 👏i👏just👏saw👏it. Hobi and Tae reactions is me when a couple start bickering.
I was so so happy that we got another Vhopeminkook live after a concert! They said "it's always us 4 hanging out" and they just keep proving it! They are so cute 😭
Tumblr media
And AS I SOMETIMES DO, I'm going to go ahead and use this to talk about the whole Wlive. Lol except imma need someone to teach me how to link lives from weverse because the app isn't giving me a copy link option??! Why? Regardless, until I figure that out (preferably I can do this from the apps) here is the full live link from youtube
youtube
And istg they are so funny. Not even a full minute in and we have jikook bickering over marriage proposals 🤣 Yoongi marry me is a standard joke at this point. Lmfao Jimin even jokingly teased Yoongi after the grammys about finally accepting ARMYs proposals. But wow were the vibes during this one different! Lovemaze did miss on their trans here below right after JK says he say "jungkook marry me" hobi repeats it and JK squints his eyes at the camera and jokingly goes "you want it" and Jimin looks genuinely like "uhm. No sir" for a second there before they just start bickering in a more lighthearted manner. Lmfao like you said, momentarily annoyed before laughing it off and teasing JK about it, perhaps drawing a boundary line about accepting rogue marriage proposals from fans lmfaoooo
Tumblr media
He wouldn't let it go!! Lmfao JK immediately being like "nah babe, no. I was just saying I saw it not that I WANTED to marry anyone else!" It was giving "it's just army. You don't need to be jealous of army" 🤣🤣🤣 Hobi and Tae were so funny too just laughing. It's peak friends of the couple behavior as they bicker over amusing couple shit. Lmfao very lovers quarrel of them
Bonus, it cracks me UP that we now have BOTH of them getting a tad bit defensive over the other getting fan proposals in front of them 🤣 JK glaring after hearing a fan shout "jimin marry me" in 2018 and Jimin wanting to know how JK really feels about it all in 2022 🤣
Tumblr media
Also everyone laughing so hard because Jimin said what sounded like a curse word and his rushed explanation that it wasn't that word, he wasn't cursing! Lol the panic! Followed by the jokes that they would see news articles the next day about how BTS Jimin cursed in a livestream 🤣 followed by the same jokes when Tae misspoke too. They are so funny! They also spoke about things they wanted to do differently (like during Idol) but were told no. An ARMY shared a video of what they had planned on doing originally when they did it during rehearsals if you wanted to see. And Jimin being silly off camera and the way all 3 of them were watching him 😭 imagine being loved this much by the people around you!
Tumblr media
And we progress further into the live and Jimin informs us all that Jungkookie has very strong farts 🤣🤣🤣🤣 lmfao I'm dying! All the Busan satori jikook are using during the vlive during the teasing. I bet being in their hometown is bringing it out in them more! Lol especially with how whenever they speak to each other in these little side conversations, they just automatically casually slip into informal speech we well. JK slipping into satori asking Jimin to scoot over further on the couch so he has room
Tumblr media
It's always the tone of voice with these two! Jimin turned JKs Ramen bowl around when he was mid bite since the label was showing, but JK thought that Jimin wanted more to eat so he was just automatically trying to hand it off to him. So sweet. And again, with the informal tones. JK asking if he is free to eat the food "over there" and Jimin saying he can and JK just replying with the cutest and most informal 고마워 (thank you). Jimin taking another big bite of the Ramen and I guess it was an extra spicy bite because he made the cutest "no thank you" face and immediately handed it off to Jungkook who took it for him. Lol it's not anything major but it gave very boyfriend-y vibes
Tumblr media
Jhope speaking so meaningfully and asking armys to trust them and talking about the concert and Jimin just nodding and clapping to give support in the oddest and cutest way. Lol and JK just copying his little claps for Hobi 🤣
Tumblr media
Followed by their funny dance moves together which is YET AGAIN ANOTHER INSIDE JOKE they share from a show they watched together. It's CLEARLY something they do alot. Watch shows and movies together and continually reference them. Lol an adorable habit. Which they followed up by making silly/knowing faces at each other. But it begs the question. Was this look exchanged due to their little jokey joke dance? Or was it about what Tae was saying about future concerts? What do yall know???
Tumblr media
And JK looks so endeared and giggly over how loudly Jimin is slurping his food off camera 🤣 Tae "aren't you slurping too loud?" 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Jhope telling a story about how once when he went out to eat, the shop owner just kept talking about how RM came there once too 🤣 Jimin telling the funniest story about how when he was asked if he was BTS Jimin, he said no. Lmfao and Tae and JK sharing that they wanted to go out after getting to Busan this trip but were too tired and didn't do so. But Jikook DID both get to go home and see their families. Which makes me SO HAPPY. Jimin saying his family made him Seaweed soup for his birthday. JK saying he also went home and his mom also made him Seaweed soup. Lmfao Jimin laughing and reenacting the scene of Mrs. Jeon giving JK Seaweed soup for JIMINS birthday. (Which is a very cultural thing, you get Seaweed soup on YOUR birthday with YOUR family, you don't eat it on other people's birthdays. So it GREATLY speaks to the vast level of closeness between families, aka, the Jeons basically considering Jimin family, someone whose birthday they celebrate in such meaningful ways, even if he isn't present at the time. You can read Dallogas post about it.) And JK speaking informally to Jimin about the soup too. Just so much to consider! Lol
Tumblr media
It's honestly the awkward silence that follows that whole exchange for me before the tension breaking with Jimin getting awkward about it and pretending to leave. With everyone's abrupt awkward laughter and Jhope changing the subject IMMEDIATELY to JKs glasses thanks to armys questions in the comments 🤣🤣🤣 boy they do a lot when Jikook say something out of pocket, don't they? 😂 Of course we get Jimin pointing out Jimin o'clock here too, and JK confirming it! And both Tae and JK saying they will try to join Jimin on one of his next weekly lives he has been doing. JK confirming twice that he will try to make it to a live! Me: trying not to get my hopes up too high but really hoping! Vmin, jikook and/or vminkook lives?! 😍
This was such a cute live. I'm so glad they hoped on together for a bit to just hang out and also double confirm lots that this isn't their last concert, they will be back and to continue trusting them. And tease about how Jins new solo is super good. I'm excited!!

STRAWBERRY ✯ 𝙕𝙃𝘼𝙉𝙂 𝙃𝘼𝙊!
m.list
synopsis: 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐥
pairing: Zhang Hao of ZB1 and fem!oc
status: ongoing
chapter 6: fate
Tumblr media
hao was knee deep in idol life. it was like there was an event every second for them to attend. even when he did have some free time to go out, there were certain fans interrupting his peace. he didn't leave the dorm as much if it wasn't for a schedule. 
rina continued her regular somber life. if she wasn't working a shift at the convenience store, she was either hanging out with haemin or laying around doing nothing. her shifts became increasingly more boring without hao's regular visits with the promise of a fun night. she thought of texting him about his whereabouts, but she knew how hard it was to be an idol. she felt like it'd be insensitive to ask for his time when he has so little. 
despite this, she still would send him good night texts as usual. receiving late responses and apologies alongside them. she tried not to take it to heart since she knew he was genuinely busy.
 we haven't even known each other for long, why would i feel hurt by this?
ever since she got closer to hao, she slowly began to suppress her feelings for him. sure, she did like him before she knew he was also someone she would become fan of. but, she thought someone like him would never go for her, so what's the point of continuing having a crush on him?
she liked to think the scarce responses wouldn't make her feel bad, but they did. she beat herself up about the fact that she even liked him in the first place. was there even a point of trying to get close again?
rina was spending the day with haemin walking around the city.
"what is wrong with you?" haemin nudged rina. she had noticed her off behavior the past few weeks. she seemed more monotone and less lively.
"what do you mean?" rina hadn't noticed just how different she was acting. she was becoming bored of living the same day on loop. she  met someone new that made her look forward to things she would otherwise, but he wasn't there anymore. "i was just zoning out."
"come on, let's do something fun. how about bowling." haemin pulled rina's arm towards a nearby bowling alley. she didn't protest it, after all she did enjoy bowling. rina was the most grateful for haemin. if it weren't for her, rina would probably be a mess. they had been the best of friends since middle school. if there was anyone that would always have her back, it would be haemin.
Tumblr media
they played several rounds of bowling and had all types of foods. "are you not embarrassed that i'm so much better than you?" haemin bragged.
"i don't know if you hit your head, but i quite literally beat you." 
"well i'm the winner in my heart." 
rina dismissed herself to the bathroom to wash her hands. there was a narrow hallway that led to the bathrooms. she could see the figure of someone in the distance so she pulled out her phone, pretending to use her phone while only on the weather app. while not paying attention to what's ahead of her, she bumped into the person, her phone falling out of her hand in the process. 
"sorry!" she looked up. "hao?"
"rina!" a smile immediately spreading across his face.
"wow, i didn't think i'd see your face again." rina joked.
"i'm sorry, i was so busy, i should've updated you more. i hope you're doing well." 
"no, you don't have to apologize. i understand you're busy. i mean, it's not like you have to spend time with me anyway." rina shrugged, but on the inside she felt like her body was on fire.
"but i want to spend time with you." the burning sensation in her body was quickly replaced by butterflies in her stomach. "we should catch up my next free day."
that one sentence made her stomach do somersaults and he only casually stood there like he didn't just almost give her a heart attack. "well you know where i am on most nights."
"i will definitely be paying you visits again." he smiled. "i'm missing the strawberry ice cream."
"we could always have our ice cream dates." rina mentally slapped herself. she did not mean to say dates, well at least not out loud. "i mean hang outs." she tried to laugh it off.
"no, i like the sound of ice cream dates better."
footsteps quickly approached the two standing in the middle of the hallway.
"is this her?" yujin asked warranting a hush from hanbin.
so he talks about me
"wait, i remember you!" hanbin recalled her name and face from their last fansign.
she didn't know how to act around them, so she awkwardly swung her arms and forced a polite smile.
"you don't say!" she tried her best not to sound sarcastic, but her awkward smile made it sound extremely sarcastic.
"your.. your phone." gyuvin pointed down at her feet. there was the hao photocard in all it's glory sitting in the back of her phone case. as if the situation couldn't get anymore awkward. she quickly shoved it in her pocket. "thanks."
"well!" hao tried to wrap up the interaction.
"rina, what's taking you so long?" the sound of haemin's foot steps grew closer.
"just a minute!" rina scratched her head. "well it was nice to meet you, bye!" she practically ran off.
"i swear she doesn't usually act like that." hao started.
"i think there's more pressing issues. you didn't mention that she was a fan." hanbin whisper-shouted.
"eh, it's complicated." hao shrugged. 
Tumblr media
"rina, you won't believe what i heard." haemin began collecting their belongings.
"and what is that?"
"that girl over there told me she saw jebewon. it must be fate at this point." rina could hear the smile in her voice without even facing her.
"yeah, i'm starting to think that too."
what were the odds of her not seeing hao for such a long time, but bumping into him merely by chance? he's not an average joe. maybe it really was fate. the way he spoke to her tonight made her think that maybe her feelings for him were actually valid. that she wasn't just a delusional fan. maybe he did like her back after all.

Ok so I did watch the Haunted Mansion movie the day before yesterday. I almost did before and as said chickened out because I was sure it was gonna be shit, but ended up going because "don't be stupid give it a chance, HM has a thousand canons, it's its own and won't affect the ones you love. If you don't like it, it will just be on it's own. And you did like the 2003 movie as flawed and not respectful of the ride's spirit as it is"
And... I apologize to this movie. It was very good !
Spoilers below
I feel bad to have chickened out before. It DID respect the spirit (the trailer and summary were misleading, they intended to exorcise them all AT FIRST and they were not all evil, a majority turns out good and lovable and goofy and mischievous when they follow you home and do know you enough and don't want innocent people to be killed, they act and chat casual to each other a "lively" natural way when seen through the lens of the ghost realm and in the end FUCKING FINALLY Disney UNDERSTOOD they are meant to STAY because it is their home and the humans and them coexist happily in the end !!! FINALLY NO MORE "they are sad and need to go to the Other Side" BYT AKNOWLEDGING THEY ARE THE 999 *HAPPY* HAUNTS WHO STAY HERE BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO) and there were so many good Easter eggs so I feel like it was made with love by peoole who do know the ride and its lore
I liked little details like how Master Gracey's (who for ONCE is cute to me ; I love moustaches ok) name was William like in the SLG comics (and the name I use in my headcanon), Constance even if evil (and psychotic as most adaptations make her, sigh) FOR ONCE is not the main villain and ends up fighting against the common enemy, the Ghost Host even if never named IS there instead of being fused with Master Gracey like he used to always be on adaptations (too bad he is evil and apparently supportive of Crump but oh well, he always was ambiguous and meant to be interpreted however we wanted), the old lady in the Stretching portraits NOT being Constance like she used to be before being retconned as her (and even being grey haired like she used to be), how "no flash pictures please" for the ride was incorporated as a genuine in-universe thing NOT to do or it will hurt YOU, how the professor's transparent coat and hat were hints at the old transparent plastix clothes the old animatronics wear for their effect to work, and how they all were terrified and most looked evil in the trailerd not out of evil but essentially like the ghost who hits the kid in the Sixth Sense to finally have the mortals do something and help them showing they are not pure forces of magic and supernatural and in fact start helping in return when the mortals finally understand and coexist happily like friends when all is good (like the same Knight who earlier had fun scaring them all giving Ben a slight little nod to tell him to hide under the table ; it was a serious dangerous moment, no time for scaring)
Also it was great to see all the rooms and recognize them. And I actually loved the music, not a fan of the Grim Grinning Ghosts party remix in the end but the New Orleans jazzy touches here and there did put me in the mood especially at the start. The CGI wasn't always great (GOSH IS ALISTAIR CRUMP UGLY... I STILL STAND BY IT, CGI WENT SO FAR ALL FOR HIM TO LOOK LIKE A POLE EXPRESS CHARACTER) but when it worked it SLAPPED (genuine scary moments like Travis seeing Constance for the first time, for a Disney movie it truly felt like a Conjuring scene, and all the ghosts hiding and running from Alistair the first scene we finally see him was BADASS and scary with the score helping), the pictures taken by the elaborate camera really felt like ghost pictures that are debatable as real or not with only the silhouette and details appearing and not a clear picture, and even if MANY things were predictable (I knew for the cat IMMEDIATELY, and Travis' dad being dead just the way he spoke of him, and it was so obvious Ben and Gabbie would end up together), many also caught me off guard (the fact it was not Travis' dad but Alistair Crump passing as him for one year holy SHIT talk about villainous patience and awfully deliciously evil to try to push a grieving lonely bullied child to suicide by passing as his dead dad "don't you love me?" and I did not expect Kent not to be a real priest that was a hilarious plot twist). The humans, even if I STILL want an adaptation that focuses on the ghosts as main characters one day and am a bit tired of real estate plots, were not insufferable and forgetable like I imagined they would be, they all had their motivations and interactions making them likable, Ben's arc to finally mourn his wife was touching, Travis felt like a real child and was not annoying on the contrary he makes you need to hug him for all the shit he goes through, the medium first passes as a bitch who ends up being actually nice and effective, Gabbie even if she is the one who marks the least is a good mom and doesn't take shit for granted (meanwhile the movers still didn't come lol), the professor is an eccentric grumpy old guy who finally knows childlike joy at the prospect of being there after having studied its cases without ever visiting it for 60 years despite having heart problems (which... went nowhere. Seriously ? At this point he could have been the 999th ghost, what was the point of hinting he will die of fright if he doesn't ?) and Kent is the kind of lovable scammer who speaks a lot who ends up becoming genuine
Not perfect tho. I did laugh at some humor like Kent's hints he is not a real priest by being questionable, the medium and the professor, and the Scooby Doo chase between Kent and the evil ghosts, but I am not fan of the other half (gosh do i hate Wellon speak anf quirky jokes Disney pulls these days in its Marvel movies and animated shows, that still made me cringe as shit) and I think some stuff are solved too easily (really Kent ? You managed to have the evil ghosts who knew they were doing evil be on your side just by telling them Alistair will do nothing for them ? As if after 150 years there they did not see by themselves he was evil and would never repay anyone !? Also WHY WERE THEY JUST STANDING THERE THE WHOLE TIME THE GOOD GUYS DISCUSS WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO SAVE THE HAT FROM BURNING AND PREVENT ALISTAIR FROM DOING HIS SCHEME WITHOUR STOPPING THEM OR INFORMING HIM ? THEY ARE SO FUCKING DUMB HOLY SHIT) and I thought some stuff were wasted potential (really ? The Hitchhiking Ghosts exist and it is hinted Ezra is the one who follows Gabbie and Travis to their hotel but never they are aknowledged as being the main ghosts to follow you home and the ghost who helps them outside of the Mansion is a sailor ? Are you kidding me ?) Also, a nitpick but the actress they took to play Leota really did not feel like Leota to me, she really did not look like her at all, I never thought I'd say it but Jennifer Tilly from the 2003 movie looked more like her. Also no Singing Busts ? Unless they were quick I did not see them. Oh come on, the theme song should have be sung by them !
NOW THE MAIN COURSE : I DID enjoy Alistair Crump. He was a very, very good villain. Ok I was not a fan of how the Crump manor scene was there to show you how eeeeevuuuul he is (his chair is higher than others at dinner to have them feel small ! He doesn't want people to sit anywhere else because sadism ! He openly shows his wife he cheats on her by hanging the portrait of his new mistress before her just to humiliate her ! He felt contempt for women especially if they can *gasp* read ! HE EVIL ZOMG *0* holy shit...) but like you all I def loved the scene about his backstory. All the animation budget went there, it really felt like the kind of urban legend/rumor turned into legend you can hear about a mysterious local historical figure, and even if it did not excuse his behavior it did explain how a traumatized unhelped child can become somber snd dangerous). Alistair Crump felt threatening, was manipulative, was omniscient and dangerous always there knowing even when the protagonists plot against him and is defeated only because one changes his mind at the last moment
But... note how I did not refer to him as the Hatbox Ghost once in that post. Ok I DO know the HBG can be evil and already was, like in the SLG comics (which I think it takes inspiration from. Evil Hatbox Ghost pushing William Gracey to suicide to join his dead bride/wife resulting in the mansion's curse). But to the extent of being a Satanist with more powerful powers than everyone else, terrorizing everyone even Constance just by his mere presence, only wanting sad/dark music to be played, omniscient of everything, manipulative mastermind who plans his plot one year in advance like a guess game, wants to keep the ghosts for himself to terrorize forever, laughs evilly and when you think you win happily breaks your hopes... that's not the Hatbox Ghost. That's the Phantom. He even looks like him at times, his clothes are more similar to his than Hattie's. It shoule have been the Phantom or gis own original character. Seriously Disney the Phantom was RIGHT THERE, why fusing them into one ? It really felt like, magnifying a silly ghost just because he is a famous character, he is seen like a demon not even as a ghost and it's just a guy with a hatbox, that felt kinda... not underwhelming becausd Alistair is badass and legetimately threatening, but it's like I made a reboot of the G3 MLP, had Kimono be feared and everyone fearing her because she is the most powerful and when you see her she is a normal purple pony with a Christmas tree decoratings cutie mark but who speaks evil snd laughs evilly, jusg because she is one of of the most known G3 ponies so was randomly picked instead of another more fitting character for such a role, you see what I mean ? Also like another post says... uh... Gracey died in 1788. So why does Alistair who is supposed to be already dead by the time the Graceys come dresses up like he's from the 1860's ? Does he die in the future but ghost summoning affects space and time !?
...without Crump anymore are they just 998 in the end ? Even less since a minority did go back to the Other Side when given the choice ?
Anyways it was a good movie. Much better than the 2003 one even if not perfect. I recommend

my chemical romance a fav band for me ever since their 2nd album/when i was 13
and by a fav i mean listening to entire albums as opposed to the 2-4 songs i usually enjoy per musical artist casually.
that sort of active engagement and seeking out of media/quotes, drawing them, printing out pictures and collecting magazine clippings to put in the back of my school diary, applying their music to other media i like- it's all stuff i did for a handful of artists at the time
and not all of them are musicians i liked every album of, i dropped off with green day and p!atd and fob due to disinterest in their sound after a specific point.
in the 2010s i had a lot of typical early 20s teen nostalgia where mcr's music became a throwback, partially because their last album was danger days/i was not immersed in fandom enough to seek out the eps and b sides, and partially because pop culture had shifted and i had other artists to listen to
so when they announced their return back in 2019 it was in that exact mindset of throwback casual nostalgia enjoyment that i was excited.
and over the years between then and actually seeing them live for the first time in 2023, i slowly shifted from that surface level interest to actively following the fandom and diving back into the details and deep cuts and both refreshing my memory and gaining new experiences and associations with the group
it's such a different vibe now- it feels vindicating to see wider praise for a band that it very much was NOT cool to like when i first listened to them- and the way people engage with their music and entire history is so fascinating as a kind of next gen musicology. it's so funny and kind of good to experience something i grew up with discussed in the same way i saw bands who had their heyday before i was born discussed.
i don't seek out live experiences for every artist i enjoy or have nostalgia for, but it was extremely fun to do the active fan thing and watch the livestreams and get hype over the little details of the tour and line up all day with other fans and see them live with the anticipation only to be had by having expectations from shows i wasn't even at as a reference point!
it was so good and i may not be super active in the fandom circles but i am sooooo glad i decided to get back into being a fan in the here and now rather than a fan who was only nostalgic, either way would have been a blast but it truly feels like i'm unlocking secret bonus emotions this way

For a while, until season 5, when I still thought Tyrion was a good man and never considered Jonsa as a couple, I thought Sansa and Tyrion could be a possible couple. A kind of Beauty and the Beast story. I know that parallel was made for Sandor and Sansa but I always found difficult to think of them as such and in political terms made no sense. Before Jonsa, who did you think Sansa would end up with ?
Oh, I think you are quite right to read some Beauty & the Beast into their dynamic, anon! I've gotten some questions about "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" which is his in-world song along those lines and he’s associated that or B&B to a number of relationships. Finding traces or even direct references to it in a certain dynamic doesn't necessarily mean a mutual romance or an endgame couple, it may simply be one of the facets he wants to explore of a certain idea. So to me, it's certainly valid to find it and talk about it there, especially when there's such a contrast between the beautiful prince who abuses Sansa and the man society has tried to dehumanize who stops him. None of my "anti Tyrion" posts are meant to deny that, they're just written to highlight how he too wronged her, even if Sansa wasn't quite fully cognizant of it.
Tyrion may be a villain only slipping further into his villainy, but he has those moments when, like the Hound, he protects Sansa. The fact that he wanted the North so much, but stopped himself from sleeping with Sansa we can read as a moment that defies the expectations for him who has been stigmatized. On the one hand, well, it's the bare minimum, he isn't exactly a hero for not sleeping with a child who was forced into the marriage and is a prisoner in KL, but many times over, we're being shown that he isn't quite the monster his family/society made him out to be. This is not to say he is a good man, he did marry her because he wanted power, but I think it is meant to criticize society's prejudices.
Anyway, I actually didn't ship Sansa with anyone before Jon! I was a very casual fan who wasn't involved in the fandom, and I was simply happy to enjoy the show as it was. It was during the long hiatus that I become very curious about what the ending would be, found Jonsa, and am now a living testament to the power of smart meta writers, wonderful gif makers, talented artists, fabulous fic writers. The damage is immense. Just say no to fandom, kids, or this may be you! 😂
Even though I enjoyed Tyrion, I could never stomach him (or the Hound) with Sansa. Their interest in her while she's so young, the way Tyrion took advantage of her situation for his own benefit and the Hound threatening her....I couldn't be at peace with that. If say, Tyrion had married her and took her away to safety, or if the Hound had offered to help her escape KL without the frequent insults/threats of death/the assault, then you could imagine that Martin might be planning to have these play out in the fairytale way, but he didn't do that. He might be talking about the trope, is certainly referencing bigger ideas here, but it isn't following the path of the og story.
Also, I don't think Tyrion's choice to marry Sansa is defensible. She was a child bride. She was going to be forced to marry someone. She couldn't really say no, so her agreeing to it isn't meaningful. It's good Tyrion felt bad, but Sansa didn't have good options. I was very disturbed that D&D wanted us to think Tyrion was a great guy in s8 even though he was angry with Sansa for abandoning him and also wanted to reestablish his relationship with his child bride. Creepy AF.
Let’s see….I do think Sansa x Pod is a cute idea, Sansa x Jeyne is sweet, I think you could write aged up Sansa x Willas fics, lots of fans fell in love with the unnamed Prince of Dorne from the finale and started listing the benefits of long distance relationships...but even if Jon didn't exist, I don't think there is a canon option for Sansa that has both the potential of happening and would be good for her which is why a lot of people believe she'll marry a rando post canon. And I could be happy with that if the rando has a long face, a very large dog, and a surprising familiarity with Winterfell!

Dang those polygamy posts are really really good~ so I'll be the third to add one, how about Tenko, Himiko, Ibuki, Natsumi, Maki, Akane and Sonia with Male reader who has Chieko Maki's talent because those posts and that character are pretty cool.
Seriously Chieko is really awesome and seems like a cool character to hang put with
Thank you! I'm glad y'all are enjoying these polyamory prompts, cuz they're hella fun to do~
Time for a third one, Chieko Edition! And I agree, she would be awesome to hang out with
Chieko's info: https://www.quotev.com/story/11950461/Danganronpa-Abandoned-Sanity-CLOSED/9
Tenko, Himiko, Ibuki, Natsumi, Maki, Akane and Sonia Fighting Over Reader Who's Like Chieko Maki
You were just living your life as the Ultimate Hero
Then you woke up and found yourself caught up in whatever this was
You had a feeling it was just about your talent
But that doesn't seem to be the case
Tenko Chabashira 
She originally approached you because of your talent
She really admired you and what you do
She was a little annoying at first
She reminded you of the fans you deal with every day
But you did enjoy having her around, so you encouraged her to talk to you as a friend
She was so overjoyed to be called your friend that she toned down her behavior
Unfortunately, she has six other girls to deal with
But they're girls, so she's not violent or mean to them
She focuses less on them and more on you
She meets you every morning with a big smile on her face
Then she'll offer to walk you to class, like friends do
If she sees one of her rivals, she just pulls you away and distracts you
She knows you hate having cameras shoved in your face, so she'll yell at anyone who does it
She's may not be petty or mean, but she's also not too happy about having to share you
Himiko Yumeno
She admired your talent, but that wasn't the whole reason she approached you
She just walked up to you like "hey, you're the Ultimate Hero, right? You're really cool"
Instead of acting like an obsessed fan, she just treated you normally
Which is exactly what you wanted
Too bad she's not the only one who's in love with you
She's in competition with six other girls, and she ain't happy
She's a little petty with them
And she's very clingy with you as well
She's especially not happy about Tenko simping over you
First, she had to deal with Tenko gushing over her, now she's her rival in love?
She just can't get away from Tenko, can she...
Well, whatever
She'll do her best to beat Tenko and win you over
Ibuki Mioda 
Also a huge fan of you
She also reminded you of one of your fans
You felt overwhelmed by her attention and just asked her to treat you normally, like one of her friends
She was hella overjoyed to be your friend
Too bad she has some competition
She's not mean, she's just petty
Every time she spots a rival, she sticks her tongue out at them, like a child
Then she pulls you away to do something else
She can be quite loud with them when you're not around
If someone starts an argument, she's gonna keep fueling it
Particularly with Maki...
Natsumi Kuzuryu 
Now, we already know how she reacted to you at first
She really didn't like you
She spied on you a lot to gather information
Then she got feelings for you
But so did six other girls
Like we said before, she is very clingy
She just wants to have you with her at all times
If she notices one of her rivals, she glared at them and pulls you away immediately
They're all suspicious of her because of her yakuza background
She hates when they bring it up; it only makes her even angrier
She firmly believes that she's the best match for you
And that she's better than the other girls in general
Maki Harukawa 
She always admired your talent, but felt too shy to tell you
She also spied on you a little bit, to see what your talent was all about
She doesn't act as bad as Tenko or Ibuki
She finds both of them annoying by the way
She just acts casual towards you, exactly how you like it
Like we said before, she is gentle with you
She doesn't wanna push you away and risk losing you to one of these "idiots"
She's particularly not fond of Ibuki and Tenko
And Sonia, because she thinks she's stuck-up
Maki won't be bitter if you don't feel the same, but she at least wants to have a chance with you
Akane Owari 
She thought you were hella cool
She didn't act like an obsessed fan, but she made sure you knew how amazing you were
When it comes to her crush, she's pretty passive most of the time
The only girls she's leery about are Maki and Natsumi
If they pick fights with her, she'll argue back
If it weren't for you, she'd beat their asses
But for the most part, she just acts normal with you, except for a few special privileges
She'll share her food with you, which she never does with anyone else
She also enjoys working out and training with you
If she sees one of the other girls, she'll just glare at them before distracting you with something else
For the most part, she just acts like a really good friend
But if any girls get in her way, she's gonna have a problem
Sonia Nevermind
She admired you a lot
She walked up to you and asked you a lot of questions about your talent and what you do
When you told her that what she was doing was uncomfortable and overwhelming, she stopped immediately
She wants to be treated normally, so she'll do the same for you
You became friends really quickly
And she got feelings for you soon after
Then she realized that she's in competition with six other girls
She doesn't have any issues with them, actually
She won't start any arguments, or argue back when they do start
If she spots one of her rivals, she'll just ignore them and continue talking to you
She doesn't even act that much different
She buys you expensive gifts or snacks, walks you to class, sits at lunch with you, just the casual friend stuff
She's completely fine with you not returning her feelings
But she does want to have a chance
So, back to you
You know that these girls really enjoy being near you, and that some of them don't do too well around each other
Whether it's because of your talent or not, you know you need to have a talk with them before things get messy
And so, you summoned them all to your dorm room for a meeting
And there, you learned the cause of their behavior
"So... All seven of you are in love with me?"
They all nodded simultaneously.
"It's because of my talent, isn't it?"
The girls gave you shocked looks.
"No. Why would you think that?" Maki asked.
"That's the only reason I can think of. No one's ever really been in love with me. Just like the only 'friends' I've had, they were only into me because of my talent. They just wanted stuff from me."
You got sympathetic looks from half of the girls, and angry looks from others.
"Whaaaaat?? That's so mean!" Ibuki called out.
"Yeah! If I knew their addresses, I'd go and use my Neo Aikido on those degenerates!" Tenko shouted, cracking her knuckles.
"What if they're girls?" Ibuki asked.
“Then I'll find them and give them a good talking-to!" Tenko responded.
Himiko rolled her eyes at Tenko.
"Aside from all that, none of us could ever treat you that way, (Name). Our love for you is true," Sonia assured.
"Nyeh... Yeah. We're not like those superficial jerks. I promise you," Himiko muttered.
"So! With that being said, which of us do you choose?" Natsumi demanded.
You scanned over each of them, thinking. You felt something for each of them, and you weren't sure if you could just choose one.
"I'm not really sure," you said.
"What?! What the hell do you mean 'not sure?!'" Natsumi demanded.
"Hey, leave (Name) alone," Akane said.
"There are seven of us here. I cannot imagine it is an easy decision to make," Sonia pointed out.
"Well... Would any of you be open to polyamory?" You asked.
They all looked at each other.
"I would not be opposed to that," Sonia said.
"I'm down," Akane agreed.
"Ibuki's down!"
"It's not the worst arrangement, I guess," Maki said.
"Ugh. Well, if these morons are good with it, I guess I am too," Natsumi agreed.
"I'm all good with it!" Tenko said.
Everyone agreed with the arrangement. 
Except...
"Great. Now I have to deal with Tenko even more," Himiko sighed.
All the girls turned to look at her.
"What do you mean, Himiko?" You asked.
"First, I had to deal with her clinging onto me because she liked me. Now I have to deal with her having a crush on the same person. I just can't get away from her. It's annoying."
Tenko gave her a hurt look.
You walked over to her and sat down in front of her.
"Look, Himiko. I know what you're saying. But these kind of relationships are about communication, and making sure everyone feels loved. I'm gonna do my best to give you all the same amount of love. And that includes you and Tenko."
Tenko stiffly scooted close to Himiko.
"Hey. I guess I was a little bit annoying with my crush on you. I'm sorry about that. This time around, I'll do a better job. I won't take all of (Name)'s time away from you, and I'll be sure to respect your wishes. Okay?"
Himiko looked you, then at Tenko, and sighed.
"Okay, fine. I'll join your relationship."
You smiled. 
"Good. Now, why don't you two girls hug it out?"
Tenko looked excited, but held herself back. Himiko pouted at you, but you saw a smile on her face as she leaned her head on Tenko's shoulder. Tenko squealed and wrapped her arms around her tightly.
"Awww! Girl love!" Ibuki called out.
"It truly is nice to see you getting along," Sonia said with a smile.
You agreed, smiling at the two girls. You hoped they would get along better as your relationship continued.
Now that you're all together, things are mostly chill
They do get messy sometimes, but the girls do get used to sharing your time
While you're sitting at lunch with Sonia, Maki will come and join you
Maki is a little awkward with the princess, but Sonia is kind when talking to her
Soon, Maki will threaten Kazuichi when he's hitting on Sonia, and gets blushy when Sonia thanks her
When you're walking down the hall with Natsumi, Ibuki will run up to you and ask you to watch her play
Natsumi acts annoyed, but secretly enjoys Ibuki's music
She'll give shit to anyone who talks bad about Ibuki and her music
You'll have workout dates with Akane and Ibuki, and they'll compliment each other's performances
Speaking of Tenko, she and Himiko get along much better
She's often there when Himiko is performing, and she, along with you, praises and compliments her
To help them get along, you'll cuddle with them, both on either side of you
You'll often notice them smiling at each other and take each other's hands
Now when you see them in the hallways, they're almost always holding hands
Ibuki and Sonia are big fans of Himiko's magic as well
Sonia especially appreciates the dark magic, but she loves all of it
She, along with Ibuki and Tenko, stand up for Himiko when people cough cough Kokichi make fun of her
The relationship actually works out pretty well, and everyone involved learns to enjoy being around each other
You brought them all together, especially Tenko and Himiko
