Tumblr media
Brushing down your dress for probably the fifteenth time you let out a slow sigh while looking over yourself in the mirror. You were nervous, terribly nervous. You’d been dating Jake for four months now. You’d learned all about his friends at work. The people he spent more time with than anybody. The people he’d grown to love and adore after going on life threatening missions. See, they kept the group together as a tactical unit after their surprising success bombing the uranium facility. Even more so of a reason to bond. They were the best of friends now. And you were the girlfriend.
Being so nervous you hadn’t heard Jake walk in and watch you with cautious eyes. He too knew you were nervous. You were gentle. So damn gentle. That’s why he went for you. He was so tired of going after the same type of girl and getting the same results, nothing. He’d tried for years and years without much success. The over bubbly bottle blonde wasn’t what was going to suit his fancy. No. It was you.
He'd run into you in the last of places he really expected at the library. His sister and nephews were in town, and they wanted to go. So, he obliged. And thank goodness he did. He always counted his lucky stars with how fortunate he felt that he’d met you.
“You look beautiful.” He spoke in a softer than usual voice trying not to startle you into oblivion.
You still jumped. A small smile brushed across your lips as you spotted him in the doorway of his bedroom, “You scared me.” You let out a soft laugh not really responding to him.
He walked over to you and brought you in for a warm embrace, “Sorry darlin’.” A light but breathy chuckle came from above you. Closing your eyes, you breathed him in slowly trying to slow you rapidly beating heart, “They’re going to adore you.” He whispered before placing a gentle kiss to the top of your head.
You nodded gently into his chest, “I sure hope so.” Your wanted to curse as you heard your voice waver unfavorably. Surely, that was going to give you away.
He gave you a gentle squeeze, “You have nothing to be worried about darlin’. If you can handle me you can handle them.”
You giggled at his efforts to calm you down, “You’re quite the handful Jake.”
He hummed, “Maybe so.” He had to agree. But before he could really counter he heard the knocks at his front door, “They’re here.” He clicked his tongue gauging your reaction. Had he calmed you down? Were you going to be okay? Was it too soon? He wanted to collapse in on himself. He’d surely has never been so unsure of himself. He knew how much he liked you. Even loved you. He knew he wanted it to be you. He was so sure of that. But he was so unsure of how to make that happen. Love was always so fleeting for him. He wanted to make sure you would stay. You would always want to be around him. He never knew how to act. But he must’ve been doing something right as you stuck right by his side for the better part of the last four months.
“You don’t say.” You grinned up at him as he pulled away.
He rolled his eyes before giving your side a playful pinch, “Smart ass.”
“Come on. Let’s go get your friends.” You nodded towards the door letting him lead the way. You were trying to put on a brave face, but damn were you terribly nervous.
Tumblr media
You heard Natasha’s voice from the side of the house, “I’m really surprised you went for her.” Your breath caught in your throat as you failed to listen to the rest of the comment. ‘She’s so sweet and kind!’ But you didn’t hear that as you back up against the door. Well damn. At least you had thought it was going well.
You heard the group laugh and agree in confirmation. Shit. You really had misread the backyard throughout the night. You thought you and Bob were agreeing on so much. You really thought Natasha wanted to go shopping with you after you told her all the good local spots that didn’t include the gross megamall that swam with people you tried to avoid. You and Javier bonded over your love of the San Diego Padres. But maybe you were wrong. Maybe you’d really misread the situation that badly.
“Agreed! She’s not ridiculously tall and blonde and super talkative.” You could’ve sworn that was Bob’s voice speaking up. It seemed out of character for him. But he clearly didn’t like you. You backed yourself right back into the house. You didn’t hear the ‘She’s an actual human being that can have a real conversation. She’s great Jake,’ from him.
Instead, you frantically grabbed your phone from your back pocket. Thinking too fast you shot Jake a text,
Hey, not feeling super great. Crazy nauseous. Think I’m going to head home.
What you weren’t expecting was his insanely fast response. You thought he’d be engrossed in some conversation or agreement about you. Were you really that bad? Was he agreeing with them? It certainly didn’t sound like he was disagreeing with them.
Hold on darlin. Don’t go. I’ll be right in.
Your eyes went wide as you realized you really didn’t have time to slip out the front door like you’d planned. He’d be walking in the side door any second now. Damn you really hadn’t thought this through. You couldn’t lie to the man. No, you were an awful liar. Terrible actually.
You walked away from the door but just a moment later it clicked open. Jake’s big green eyes softening once he spotted you on the other side of the living room looking more frantic than ill. His eyes scanned your figure for any other signs of what was actually going on. He didn’t waste a second once he’d finished his once over. He walked right on up to you.
“What’s the matter love? My cooking isn’t sending you home is it?” He scanned you again with nothing but concern in his eyes. You didn’t really seem sick. You were just skiddish. He was used to this. Earlier on in the relationship he had to dance around you. Let you get used to his presence. He was so careful with you. And you bloomed right under him into something of your own. You got comfortable with him. Opened up like a book to him. Trusted him more than anything in the world.
“I’ve been feeling a little gross all day.” It wasn’t really a lie. You have felt gross all day. You’d been remarkably nervous over the entire thing.
He cocked his head to the side in slight confusion. He read you like a book though, “Honey, they love you!” He gave your arms a squeeze in reassurance. He seemed so adamant. He didn’t seem like he was lying to you. He seemed so confused. Had you missed something?
“It didn’t sound like it.” It slipped so quickly from your mouth you weren’t sure if you said it out loud or in your head. It was a tossup really.
His face dropped immediately, “What’re talking about darlin’?” His face was laced with nothing but confusion. You’d definitely missed something.
You pursed your lips. Oh well, secrets already out, “She said she was surprised you went for somebody like me.” Your eyes dropped in shame. You felt a little guilty for listening In on their conversation meant for their own ears only.
He pulled your eyes up to look at his, “Then what?” He asked.
You shook your head in confusion, “They all agreed.” You sighed. Why was he making you repeat what you heard.
He shook his head slowly, still holding your chin in his hands, “No love. She said you were sweet. That you were kind. She really likes you. Said she can’t wait for you to take her shopping.”
Well shit. How had you missed that? Your stitched your eyebrows together as you looked for any sign that he could’ve been fooling you. You couldn’t find a sign, “But then Bob said I wasn’t a blonde or talkative.” You repeated trying to justify your actions.
“Oh honey.” He laughed at the situation, not at you. He’d never dream about laughing at you, “You don’t know him well enough to know he was being sarcastic. He said that you were so fun to talk to, could hold an actual conversation.” He ran a hand down your arm trying to give you the reassurance you so clearly needed.
Shaking your head, you felt the nerves bubble back up. You definitely missed that, “I must’ve walked back inside.”
He wrapped you in another tight embrace. This one felt more necessary than the rest. He could feel how anxious you were. How saddened you looked at the thought of his friends not liking you. It warmed his heard at how much you wanted to be accepted by them. You knew how much they meant to him.
“Wish you would’ve stuck around.” He mumbled into your hair while rocking you back and forth ever so gently, “Even had Rooster singing your praises.”
You smiled as you finally started to believe him fully. He wouldn’t have lied to you like that, “Really?” You asked softly. You cheek was resting on his chest as he held you in his comfortable embrace.
“Yeah,” He chucked before pulling you closer into him, “I think they may ever like you more than me. I know Bradley does.”
Your heart swelled with all the love you felt for the man. He always knew what to say. He had a way with words that always left you feeling all the love, “Like that’s hard to do.”
He let out a full belly laugh now, “There she is. There’s my smart ass of a girl.”
“You like it.” You countered, pulling away from his strong hold on you.
He nodded, “I love it.”
You couldn’t help but to smile at that comment, “Noted.”
He hummed before dropping his arms from his hold on you, finally letting you squirm away, “Know what else I love?” He asked. He had a mischievous smirk dancing across his face.
Not having a clue what was coming next you innocently answered his question, “What’s that Jake?”
“You.”
A small gasp escaped your throat. Eyes widening and pupils surly dilated, you gave him nothing but a shocked stare, “What?” Finally squeaked out of your mouth after a few long moments.
“I love you.”
You gaped at him. Now of all times? Now?
“Jake! You dropped that bomb right now?” Your head was dizzy with thoughts. How could you face them again after he just did this to you.
He shrugged, “I think I’ve known for a while. They just helped me realize it.” One of the things you loved about him was the complete lack of pressure to respond to it. He didn’t expect it. He knew you took things slow. He was hardly offended. But he knew he loved you and he needed you to know it.
That was when it all clicked for you too. You loved him too. You loved him beyond your wildest measures. You don’t think you’d be able to live a life without him anymore. He’d changed you completely. Changed you whole.
Your eyes found his again. Yours scanned his pretty tanned face. He was smiling. Patient face on as he waited for your response. Your legs felt like jelly when your eyes finally locked with his, “I love you too.”
The smile that lit his face could make you happy for the rest of your life. God, you couldn’t wait to keep making him smile like that. You knew you were in trouble when he picked you right up in his arms kissing any part of you that he could get his mouth on and whispering sweet ‘I love you’s’ in between. The group be dammed.

Tumblr media
royal life sucks.
at least that’s what you believe. others would say it’s the best thing that a person can wish for—and by others you mean your parents.
ever since you were a child you were taught how to behave, how to speak formally and how to treat others like a princess should.
oh and of course how can your silly little brain forget? you need to get ready for marriage as soon as you’re born into a royal family.
so royal life does suck. a lot.
you’ve met numerous princes from all across the country. with you’re parents forcing you to meet any prince they see—it’s quite hard to avoid all of them.
on one of the days, you wanted to catch a breath, so you went to the forest that was the nearest to your own castle.
groaning as you heard your parents yelling at you to take the guards with you, you quickly turned your heels and walked away. the guards will eventually find you anyway.
you sat by one of the trees as soon as you dived deep in the forest. you opened your favorite book you took from your library and started reading it.
you fell asleep after a while, being too tired of life in general and your parents’ constant screams about finding a prince to marry didn’t help any of that at all.
you woke up to a rustle noise and put your hands up since you thought you were caught by the royal guards.
it wasn’t the case at all.
you got up and noticed a little child roaming around the forest. you were about to go up and help him until something stopped you.
“hey! kid! what are you doing here all by yourself?” to be more specific, it was someone.
he wore a uniform only a royal blood would wear—he’s definitely a prince.
you looked at the prince and god, he was so breathtaking. his uniform suit him the best, and his jawline was definitely one to stare at. how come you’ve never met him?
“i-i got lost in the forest, i don’t know the way back” the kid’s eyes were filled with tears.
“hey, it’s okay, don’t cry” he smiled and grabbed the child’s hand, “let’s get you out of this forest”
the kid nodded, “what is your name?” he asked.
“my name is jay” the prince held a hand over his chest as a friendly gesture and the kid smiled, “i’ll tell my mother about you jay”
the prince laughed and shook his hand, “no need to! you should keep that as a secret”
the prince and the kid kept walking until they were nowhere in sight and you finally released a breath you didn’t know you were holding.
you have to meet that prince jay no matter what.
his kindness was what attract you the most to him. who can blame you? beside his outstanding visual, he seemed so kind and generous. definitely a one you’d like to marry.
you came back to the castle and prepared yourself to hear loads of screamings from your parents, but instead you were greeted with a wide smile smeared over their face.
“what’s with that face? you’re scaring me” you sighed.
they looked at each other and cheered at the same time, “we found the perfect husband for you!”
“what?” you spit out.
“we have everything closed! a husband, a place and of course, a date!” they clapped.
“you didn’t even ask me about it!” you shout and they rolled their eyes, “you’re getting old already y/n, and we’re definitely not getting younger. you need to marry someone already so we decided to help you a little”
“this is ridiculous, i can’t believe on you” you shook your head and went back to your room.
“be ready for the meeting tomorrow at ten in the morning!” they shout as you harshly closed the door.
“good morning your majesty, the queen asked me to wake you up early today and help you get ready” one of your servants softly caressed your hair.
you sighed and nodded, “thank you”
you got up and your servants helped you to get ready to meet your soon-to-be husband.
you thought about running away multiple times before, but now you’re definitely considering it as your only way out.
“what if i’ll just run away?” you mumbled while your servants were busy fixing your dress, “don’t be like that your majesty, you’re our only hope in this kingdom after your parents” one of them answered.
they’re actually right. as an only child it is your responsibility to take after your parents when their time will come to an end.
“come on, quickly! we don’t want to be late” you mother waved her hand at you and signaled you to get into the car quicker.
you sighed heavily, an obvious look of disappointment and sadness is smeared all over your face.
“we’re driving to hybe’s kingdom now, i’m sure you’ve heard of them” your father excitedly explained, “you’re going to meet prince jay, your soon-to-be husband”
your eyes light up, did he just say prince jay?
“prince jay?” you asked and your parents nodded.
“his mother is a good friend of mine, when she heard that we’ve been searching for a husband for you she told me one of her sons needs to marry off to someone too!” the queen smiled, “in order to take the throne he has to marry someone, which means you’re getting a kingdom for yourself!”
“it’s not my kingdom” you murmured, “but i am excited to meet my soon-to-be husband”
your parents clapped hearing the exciting news. they never thought you’d get so excited to meet the person you’re off to marry.
“good afternoon” hybe’s queen greeted your parents with a lovely smile and a welcoming hug.
“afternoon! how have you been?” you mother asked her while you curtsy in front of the other queen, “wonderf—oh what a pleasing surprise to see such a beautiful face here in this kingdom”
you smiled widely, “good afternoon, your majesty. i’m l/n y/n”
she then giggled, covering her mouth with her fingers as a formal gesture, “you don’t need to be so formal with me young lady, i’m your mother in law already”
“your mother told me a lot about you! i had to get one of my sons to marry you no matter what” she added.
the king then called everyone to gather in the dining hall and you did as he told.
“it’s nice to finally meet you, my future wife”
as soon as you arrived into the dining hall you were greeted by prince jay, your soon-to-be husband with a kiss on your hand and a slight bow.
before you even noticed it, you were already a blushing mess. this man surely knows how to fluster people!
“it’s nice to meet you too, my future husband” you smiled and curtsy in front of him.
he stared at you and you couldn’t deny his breathtaking visuals. you held your breath, suddenly feeling so nervous around the prince.
your parents made you sit next to jay, you were between him and your parents, as jay was between you and his family.
“so,” one of the seven siblings started speaking, “i’m heeseung, the next one as you already know is jay, then jake, sunghoon, sunoo, jungwon and riki”
you nodded, “it’s nice to meet you all, i’m l/n y/n”
their parents then clapped, “we’ll be leaving now with your parents! stay here and chat for a bit, we’ll tell you all the details later today”
you nodded again, this time a bit hesitated since you’re going to stay alone with your future husband and his six other siblings.
or so you thought.
“we’ll be going now as well, after all you do need some privacy” jake smiled warmly at you.
you looked at the rest of the siblings and they all mouthed you a goodluck,
why were they looking at you with such pity in their eyes?
“so—” you planned on starting your little speech now that you’re alone with jay, but he cut you off before you could even continue.
“don’t get the wrong idea, i’m doing all of this for the throne and my kingdom,” he groaned, “in order to get my kingdom i need to marry, you’re the best option i have right now”
you were taken aback, completely speechless and disappointed.
“shouldn’t you give this a chance? we’re marrying anyway so we should try to—“
“i don’t believe in love anyway,” he scoffed, “especially not when it comes to marrying off to someone like you”
“someone like me?”
he nodded and replied, “a spoiled princess who marries off to a prince”
“i saw you yesterday, in the woods, helping a little boy,” at this point tears started to form in your eyes, “you were so kind to him, why am i different?”
now he’s the speechless one. it took him a while to think of an answer and as he was about to reply both of your parents entered the room again.
you pressed on your eyes to clean the tears that were threatening to fall and smiled at yours and his parents.
“the wedding will be held next week! it’s official and it’ll happen in our ballroom” your mother-in-law smiled warmly at you.
she seemed kind, unlike one of her children.
you nodded and your parents cheered, “i can’t believe my daughter is going to marry” your mother pat your head and you tried not to cringe.
“you’ll pay a visit in your kingdom in a few days as well” your father-in-law added.
this whole idea feels surreal. you? marrying off to a prince? and you didn’t even do anything against it!
you believe that sooner or later, jay will find a way to fall in love with you and find some interest in you as you already did in him.
“morning! i’m taking you to choose a wedding dress today” your mother woke you up with a big smile on her face.
the whole idea about being able to marry a prince you finally found some interest in really excited you.
you’re almost sure that he didn’t mean what he said yesterday, and it’s probably because he got stressed about the whole wedding thing. keyword, almost.
you decided to give him time, and maybe after the wedding he’ll calm down.
“you look so beautiful” your mother held her hands over her mouth and tried really hard not to cry.
you held her hands and smiled, “thank you mom, i got my beauty from you”
the whole week passed in a blink of an eye, and you were already getting ready for your own wedding, held in hybe’s huge castle.
loads of princes and princesses from all over came to congratulate the new couple and to your request, a few important citizens were invited as well.
your visit in your new kingdom that was held a few days ago was nothing but humiliating.
you were busy greeting the citizens while jay went to the other side of the town, completely as far away from you.
the citizens kept asking you if you’re doing okay and if you’re sure about that marriage since prince jay doesn’t seem to treat you right, but you just giggled and shrugged it off, telling them it’s ‘completely normal for a couple to have a fight a few days before their wedding’.
you then arrived to your new castle together, “walking with me around the town isn’t something bad to do, you know that right?” you asked him before you entered but all he did was to ignore you.
you took a few moments to take in the beauty of your castle and your garden, forgetting about the fact that jay is standing next to you with fierce eyes.
“you’ll be taking the room at the end of this hall and i’ll be taking the one on the other side” he started speaking, “don’t talk to me unless it’s important” he added and you scoffed.
did he really have to separated your bedrooms too?
“jay we’re going to be a married couple, don’t you think that—“
“i already told you i don’t care about this marriage, you should be thankful i’m letting you in the castle anyway” he rolled his eyes and entered his new room.
you stayed there, dumbfounded and speechless again for the nth time.
“it’s okay, he’s probably just stressed, that’s all” you convinced yourself to calm down and forced a smile.
the guards that came to accompany you looked at you with an apologetic look, feeling sorry for what just happened and what is about to happen in the future.
as you were now pronounced as a husband and a wife, you couldn’t help but take a look at jay, who was standing right next to you and holding your hand.
for the first time ever since you first met, he smiled at you.
maybe there’s a chance for the both of you?
your wedding was more than amazing, your parents kept on smiling and laughing, it honestly made you feel relieved about the whole situation.
the rest of the guests kept congratulating you and complimenting you about how good you look.
your mother-in-law kept hugging you and showing you off to her friends.
jay couldn’t stop smiling at you and staring at you as well and honestly? that felt so good.
until the moment you were left alone in your new castle. thinking that maybe, only maybe now jay will show some interest and ask you how do you feel about the wedding and the whole situation.
instead, he just got inside his room, not before commenting something like “don’t talk to me unless it’s something important” for the second time.
jay was always known as the cold hearted prince in his family. he can’t explain why and won’t even budge to explain as well. his ego is boosted enough to care about himself and himself only. and well, maybe sometimes his family.
when his parents said the exciting news about getting a kingdom in terms of marriage, he was the first one to jump and ask from his parents a little help, that’s the only reason he got married before the first prince, heeseung.
he doesn’t believe in love. he thinks it’s stupid and distractful, he likes being alone.
when he saw you, he couldn’t deny your beauty, he got a bit taken aback by your gorgeous smile that was smeared all over your face.
but he couldn’t show how mesmerized he was, not when his image is the cold hearted prince and his ego is up in the sky.
he couldn’t deny the fact that he likes your presence, even if both of you spent about an hour alone.
he still remembers the first time he saw you. he was around the woods, walking around and exploring the view, until he saw a figure laying besides a tree.
he walked a bit closer and that’s when he noticed your peacefully sleeping face. god, you looked so pretty even when you slept.
he didn’t know you nor your name, but he felt so relaxed when he saw you.
until he heard some rustles and was sure someone or something was about to attack you.
when he noticed it was a little child his eyes softened and he ran to the child in order to help him.
on a usual day he wouldn’t care about the lost child, but something about your presence made him want to help out and take care of the child.
as soon as he saw that he was going to marry you, he had to push you away at any cost.
you’d be a distraction for him, and that’s a big no.
you on the other side however, held hope about this marriage, after all you weren’t being taught about marriage and how to be good to your family your whole life for nothing, were you?
the first morning after your marriage was quite weird to say the least.
you weren’t awaken up by your parents’ annoying remarks about marriage, and you weren’t even being called into breakfast.
you quickly got ready and went down to the dining hall, already seeing jay sitting in one of the chairs and eating his breakfast already.
“you could’ve called me for breakfast…” you whispered but it was enough for him to hear.
“why would i?” he asked and you were left speechless, “nevermind” you shrugged and sat on one of the chairs across the table.
breakfast was awkward and quiet. none of you spoke, only sounds of muffling were heard between the two of you.
“should we walk around the town today? i feel like we—“
jay sighed, cutting you off, “no, i don’t see a reason to do so”
you replied with a quiet ‘oh’ and nodded, “either way i’ll be going out to—“
“i don’t care” he cut you off again.
you pressed your lips together and nodded again, leaving your seat and going back to your room.
you had to do something about it, there’s no way he hates you that much, right?
that evening, after committing all your duties for the day, you arrived to the castle’s kitchen, greeting all the servants with a kind smile and asking them to teach you how to cook.
“your majesty, a royal blood like you shouldn’t cook your own dinner” they said but you shrugged them, “i insist, i want to make my husband a small surprise, even though i’m not the best cook”
they all nodded and taught you everything you need to know.
at dinner, you sat at the same seat you took at breakfast. right across jay, who was busy daydreaming about something.
you waited for him to finish the food and asked him, “how was the food?”
“appetizing” he answered coldly and pushed back his chair to get up and walk back to his room.
you were bored. you had no one to rely on. the servants became your best friends now ever since you asked them to help you at the kitchen.
you asked them to teach you how to do laundry, cook, clean and much more.
you had nothing to do anyway so why not?
you did most of those things to impress jay. but all you got in return was scoffs and ignorance from his side.
it sucked. and if you thought royal life sucks, this is ten times more awful than royal life only.
he got sick? you’re the one who’s running around with medicine. he felt a bit hungry? you’d be the one to cook him meals. not even minding the facts you have tons of servants in the castle.
after a while into your marriage, and your dozens attempts of making jay have a slight interest in you, you got tired of it.
you felt drained. you felt tired. you felt unwanted.
in one of the days you paid a visit in your parents’ castle.
your one and only home.
you looked at them, eyes full with nothing but love when they looked at each other. you won’t ever see them doing something by themselves, always having to rely on each other no matter what.
you envy them, you feel jealousy whenever you’re watching them and you don’t know what to do about it.
“i was thinking,” you called out in your dinner with your parents, “it’s been a while since we’ve been together and i really miss the both of you”
you sighed, “can i come over for a few days?”
you had to do it. even though all your parents did was to worry about you getting married, they still showed you and showered you with love.
you need to feel loved now, you need those few days with them now. and maybe even eventually you’ll never go back to your current kingdom.
your parents looked at each other shocked, “is everything okay between you and jay?” your mother asked.
not wanting to ruin jay’s image, you nodded, “nothing bad happened, i just miss you two”
“if that is the case then of course! you know this is your own kingdom as well” your father opened his arms out and you hugged him.
you got back to the castle without even having your usual dinner with jay.
he felt frustrated, were you busy doing something more important than a dinner with him?
he knew it wasn’t his place to brag, heck he shouldn’t even feel frustrated, but he can’t help it.
“the food tastes different today” he mumbled, “i wonder why”
of course he doesn’t know you’re the one the always cooked him his meals so far.
you made the servants swear on their own life that they’ll keep that as a secret for their whole life.
and for the first time ever since your marriage and ever since you were taught how to cook, you didn’t cook for him. and he couldn’t understand why it tasted so different for him to the point that he didn’t even want to finish his meal.
the next morning you packed your stuff and stood by the door, you looked over jay who tilt his head in confusion, “i’ll be leaving now” you started.
“i don’t know for how long, and i’m sure you don’t even care. so don’t mind me” you took your last bag and walked away.
jay was left speechless. did you really just admit that you’re leaving him? does that mean you’re planning to divorce him?
why does he even care?
“she’ll be back” he whispered and went to have his breakfast.
he was so wrong for that.
it has been a few days, even weeks since he last saw you.
people started talking and spreading rumors about a divorce between you two, and his parents paid a visit in the kingdom.
he used a lame excuse of “she’s on duties, she told me she’ll be back late and is extremely sorry for not being able to greet you two” and they believed him.
a few days later he was invited to hybe’s kingdom, to meet the person his older brother heeseung fell in love with.
when he heard about the person being the same commoner he warned heeseung about, he couldn’t understand him.
how dare he break the rule of not marrying a commoner?
how did he even managed to fall in love with such a commoner?
he only then realized how messed up he was the moment he heard heeseung’s partner explaining how much she loves him.
he felt even more devastated when he heard how much his older brother is willing to sacrifice in order to marry the commoner.
there’s got to be something that he’s been doing wrong.
you, on the other hand really missed jay. even if he wasn’t even sparing you a glance, even though he ignored you most of the time, even though he denied anything you suggested, you can’t lie you just want to start all over again with him.
there’s something about him that kept you attracted to him, you can’t let go of that feeling.
spending the last few days with your parents made you realize that all you had to do was to confront him instead of going around in circles and trying to get his attention.
jay’s guilty feelings were eating him alive.
just now he heard from the servants that you were the one who took care of him all the time.
this is the only reason his food tasted differently lately, and the medicine he takes when he’s sick has changed.
he’s got to do something about it, but what and how?
“hey, sunghoon,” jay called his brother and sunghoon answered with a short ‘hm’. “have you seen jake?”
sunghoon looked up at jay and slowly shook his head, “i don’t know where he has been lately, he has been gone for a few days already, i’ve been lying to mom and dad about his whereabouts but i really don’t know where he is”
damn. he wasn’t expecting that answer. jake? running away from royalty? what has been going on lately in the little mind of his?
jake is known as the best advice giver, and jay wanted to ask him for some advice about his marriage life. but now that he’s a runaway prince who can jay talk to?
“jungwon,” jay knocked on his younger brother’s door and opened it right after.
“is everything okay?” jungwon asked worriedly.
“i need help,” he sighed, “i messed up, big time”
“is this about your marriage?” jungwon already knew. he was expecting his older brother to mess up his marriage. after all, he wasn’t expecting from much when his brother’s ego is boosted up.
“you should go to her” before jay could even speak again, jungwon put his hand on jay’s shoulder, “admitting that you messed up in front of her is the best thing you can do right now”
jay nodded slowly, “how did you—“
“lying to mom and dad and telling them she’s on duties? not showing up with her for dinner with everyone? come on! it’s so obvious”
“thank you” jay smiled and ruffled the younger’s hair, “update me with whatever is happening” jungwon chuckled.
“you should update me with whatever is happened with jake! where is that idiot?”
jungwon shrugged and sighed, “all he said is that he might be back in a few months, or never”
“what about mom and dad?”
“they don’t know anything, they’re sure he’s staying in his friend’s kingdom for a bit”
jay shook his hand, “let’s hope he’ll be back soon”
that night jay could barely sleep. he spent hours over hours thinking about a way to get you back to him.
he only now realized how much he cares about you, how much he likes your presence, how much he misses you and needs you.
he wanted to tell you all of this but didn’t know how to put it in words, what can he do?
the moment he woke up he cursed under his breath. he knows you’re at your parents’ kingdom, which means he has to tell your parents what happened as well.
can his life be more miserable? he can’t blame anyone but himself honestly.
he took a deep breath before entering your castle.
bowing in front of your parents and waiting for a response from them.
“jay! what a pleasant surprise to see such a king in our home” the queen smiled warmly at them.
“how can we help you?” the king asked.
“i’d like to see your daughter and my wife, y/n” he gulped, nervous and scared of their reaction.
“it’s really been a while since she went back to your home, i guess she missed us that much!” the queen giggled.
jay froze for a second. you didn’t tell them about the whole situation at all? why do you still care so much about him when he treated you so bad?
he couldn’t take it anymore and as soon as your parents guided him to your room, his eyes roamed around and finally softened when he found you.
“jay?” you asked. you were facing the window and took in the view, until you heard your door opening and turned around to welcome the guest, “what are you doing here?”
“y/n” he whispered and got closer to you.
you frozed, it was the first time he called your name ever since your wedding. what happened to him?
you tried to read his eyes but couldn’t. his fierce gaze is long gone, his softened eyes replaced it.
“i’m so sorry” he stopped when he felt he was too close to you. he was actually one step from caging you in his arms, but was scared you’re too angry and hurt to care about him.
“you’re…” you breathed, “sorry?”
you’re almost certain this whole situation is a one big dream.
prince jay? the cold hearted prince? just apologized? in front of you?
“i’m sorry, i was being a jerk, i wasn’t thinking straight” he shook his head, “i thought that if i’d let myself get distracted by you i’d get lost, but i was so wrong. i’m so lost without you”
you couldn’t believe what you’ve just heard. it feels too surreal to see jay almost begging on his knees for forgiveness.
you could see his eyes filled with tears that were threatening to fall. “when i first saw you i was so taken aback by your beauty, you’re so pretty y/n. i loved your presence, even if it was for just a few seconds because i was being a jerk and always ran away from you”
when he noticed your soft gaze he finally stepped closer and caged you in his arms, “i was so wrong. i was scared to fall in love but i already did. it took me so much time to realize that i’m sorry y/n” he whispered in your ear.
he felt so relieved when you wrapped your hands around him and buried your face in his neck.
“it took you so long, idiot” you chuckled, “i’m glad you finally realized how much of a jerk you were and i’m expecting for a payback”
he giggled and nodded, “i’ll give you anything you want as long as you promise to stay with me” he held out a pinky and you interlocked your own with his, “i promise”
not even a day passed and you were already back in your kingdom. yours and jay’s kingdom.
he promised to love you forever, and even planned a little wedding for the both of you, saying that “that wedding was nothing but toxic, you deserve a new and a better wedding”
you played along with him and remarried him again, this time with both of your hearts full with love and affection to each other.
“did you know?” he asked and you hummed, “what?”
he kissed your sweet lips and smiled through the kiss, “i love you so much”
you playfully pushed him and giggled, “i love you so much too, jay”
a few days passed and ni-ki’s birthday was held in hybe’s kingdom.
jay introduced you to heeseung and his future wife and after a while of talking ni-ki called you and you had to go.
jay smiled at heeseung and his partner, apologizing for acting like a jerk and thanking them for saving his marriage.
he went back to you right after that and pecked your lips while holding you tightly.
“by the way, ni-ki asked me to adopt him and i agreed”
“why would you do that—“
“my new parents! i love you!” ni-ki hugged the both of you as you both giggled and held him tightly.

Style | Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw x Reader
Tumblr media
(18+, minors dni)
word count: 3.1k
summary: like clockwork, bradley shows up at your door after a 'breakup'...except this time, you don't think he's going to ever come back
warnings: drinking, cheating (physical and emotional), happy ending for everyone except (spoiler)
A/N: written for @laracrofted's 1989 challenge! I got inspo for this from soo many things. obviously the song, but also hints of some of my fav sitcoms/drama series that involve this certain…trope. ie: the sabrina the teenage witch finale that makes me bawl my eyes out every time. it kinda lost the plot at some point, but hope u enjoy x MJ
You stand in front of the floor length mirror in your bedroom, looking over your outfit one more time. You lean forward, getting as close as you can to the mirror in order to fix your smudged red lipstick from sipping on beers all night. You’re still a little tipsy, having fixed yourself a drink when you got home, right before Bradley texted that he was picking you up. You didn’t ask any questions–you simply slipped on the shortest skirt you own, paired with a silky black tank top. You tousle your hair slightly, giving it a little more volume before picking up the drink and downing it as soon as you hear the familiar sound of his Bronco pulling into your drive. 
You open the door and hop into the passenger seat, your skirt riding up almost completely, though neither of you mind. You and Bradley are both staring at each other in silence. He’s wearing a navy suit. His tie has been untied and is draped over his shoulders, while the top of his shirt is opened about three buttons down. His hair’s disheveled, and he looks tired. 
“Hey.” He says in his low, gravelly voice, keeping his eyes on yours. 
“Hi.” You respond sweetly, a small grin appearing on your face. His lips curl into a small smile of its own, unable to contain his emotions in seeing you for the first time in a few months. The last time the two of you hung out together with the rest of the group, you blacked out and Hangman had to take you home. 
“Long time, no see.” He jokes, leaning over and placing his left hand on your cheek, kissing you hard. You lean back into the seat, wrapping your arm around his neck to pull him closer as he runs his tongue across your lip and pushes it into your mouth. You let out a moan because you’re tipsy and horny. It’s embarrassingly clear that you haven’t seen him in way too long.
He pulls away quickly, though, running his hands along his thighs before putting his car into reverse and backing out the driveway with one arm resting behind your head. 
“Why so dressed up?” You question, holding your arm out the window, feeling the air slip through your fingers as you cruise down the road. It takes him a minute to answer because he’s distracted by all of the thoughts running through his head, and then he looks over at you, and you’re just like you always are. So pretty and carefree–answering his late night texts that he’s coming to pick you up without asking why. 
He’s going to miss this. He’s going to miss you.
“A party.” It’s not a lie. It’s a half-truth, but he wants to spend one last great night with you before he tells you that he can’t do this anymore. He can’t yet tell you why he drove here from Los Angeles just to see you tonight. So, he takes you to get an Icee and the two of you take a walk along the beach, laughing and joking and avoiding any talk of what either of you have been up to the past few months since the last time you spoke. He doesn’t ask about the guy you posted on your Instagram story a few weeks back and you don’t ask about the girlfriend you assume he’s broken up with recently. 
When Bradley takes you home a few hours later after steamy makeout sessions on both the beach and in the back of his car, he plans on leaving. He truly does. He plans on telling you what he came here to tell you, but he can’t get it out, and unfortunately, he’s never been able to resist the temptation of following you inside and up the stairs to your room.
“I'm getting married.” Bradley breathes out, almost in disbelief, chest rising and falling rapidly as he stares at the black fan on your ceiling. It’s spinning–pushing cool air down on his glistening skin, soaked with a thin layer of sweat. He’s been in this position hundreds of times–laying on his back next to you in your carefully curated bedroom. He’s always loved the mini statue of the Greek god Poseidon you have sitting on the nightstand next to where he sleeps–a reminder that this is his spot. You bought it for him years ago, but it never looked right amongst his boring belongings, so he kept it here. He turns his head to look at you, resting his cheek on his bicep that’s bent up, hand cradling his head on the pillow.
“You're getting married.” You repeat, propping yourself up on your forearm to look at him in the dim light coming from the floor lamp in the corner of the room by the window. The curtains are held back with black silk ribbons tied in little bows, and the moon shines through the window, casting a cool glow across the other side of the room. The sheet on top of you falls slightly, revealing your bare chest, but he keeps his eyes on yours. You wish you could say you’re surprised by the news, but deep down, you’re not. It’s what he’s always wanted.
Serena is perfect, at least from your point of view. She lets him have fun when he’s out and joins when she can. She never seems jealous or controlling or even high maintenance. She drinks whatever is around and smokes Jake in nearly every round of darts they play together. Everyone loved her right from the start. You could tell Bradley was smitten, so you backed off. It wasn’t the first time he got into a relationship while you were off, but you certainly didn’t think it would be the last, either. You never imagined he’d propose to her after only eight months together, but Bradley is thirty-four and not getting any younger, and you know getting married has always been something he’s wanted, which is why the two of you never would’ve worked out in the long run.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.” He says softly, chest tightening at the fact that he somehow managed to hurt you and his bride-to-be in one fell swoop. What he really means is “I’m sorry I waited until after we had sex to tell you that I’m engaged” but he won’t say that out loud. It doesn’t matter either way. You know that this doesn’t mean anything, despite what Serena would think if she found out. It never really has–not since the first time you broke up many moons ago. You were only twenty-two. You had your whole life ahead of you and he was trying to get you to settle down. It wasn’t in the cards for you then or now, despite how happy you made each other. 
“Where does she think you're at right now?” You ignore his apology, attempting to get to the bottom of his unexpected visit. It isn’t like him to do something like this. For all the years you’ve known him, he’s never had wandering eyes, even when it comes to you. He gets a girlfriend, they break up, he shows up at your door. Wash, rinse, repeat. It’s why you thought he came here in the first place.
“She’s in LA with her sister for the weekend.” He fails to mention the engagement party from earlier today, and the work emergency he faked in order to drive back earlier than expected. You nod, pushing yourself up and bringing the sheet with you, feeling slightly more exposed than you did when he was pounding into you from behind ten minutes ago. You look around your room. It’s dark, but you can still make out everything. All the stuff you’ve collected from ten years of living in San Diego. Eight years of knowing, and loving, Bradley means that he’s weaved himself into nearly every aspect of who you are and who you always will be.
“Why are you here?” You don’t sound mad, but he’s scared that you are. You sound too calm, like you’re going to snap any second. He wouldn’t blame you if you did. It’s really strange–the feeling that rushes over you when the realization hits that maybe this is the last time. Maybe this is just his fucked up way of saying goodbye to you and your situationship forever. 
“I came to tell you…that’s it. I just–I wanted us to have one more night together.” And when Bradley’s looking at you with those big, brown eyes you can see how genuine he is, despite the fact that he’s just cheated on his soon-to-be wife. You feel a little sick, but you don’t let it show. Instead, you nod your head in understanding and rest your head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as your eyes close slowly.
“I always thought it would be you.” Nat says sadly as you lay on her bed, watching her get ready. Your eyes meet hers in the mirror, lips parted as she swipes the maroon stain across her lips. 
“What do you mean?” You ask, sitting up and crossing your legs, leaning back on your hands for support. She’s rolling her eyes at you as she turns around, rubbing her lips together and putting her hands on her hips.
“With Bradley. The two seemed so good together.” Today of all days–his wedding day–she decides to say this to you. It’s not the first time one of your mutual friends has made a comment about the state of your relationship. Every time you and Bradley broke up in the past, Bob would tell you that he was certain you’d find a way to push through the differences. It’s sweet that they all care, but they don’t know Bradley like you do, and they certainly don’t know you like Bradley does. If they did, they might hold their tongues. 
“Until we weren’t.” You chuckle, shaking your head. “I’m happy for him. Really.” And you aren’t lying. You’ve run through about every emotion imaginable since you found out they were getting married, which was only six months ago. You’ve gone through the five stages of grief a few times, and now you’ve settled on inner peace. You're far from not caring, but if you truly love someone, you should allow them to be happy.
“I know what happened in February.” She deadpans, face falling into a serious expression. There’s less sympathy now. More pity. At least, that’s what it feels like on your end. February. Six months ago. 
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You shrug, frantically grabbing your bag and rummaging through it like you’re looking for something important. You just came to help her pick out an outfit and give moral support for the big event–not to get berated for something you did so long ago now. She crosses her arms in front of her chest–the silk of her dress bunches slightly. 
“Obviously you do.” She sighs, grabbing her heels and taking a seat in the chair by her bed closest to you, undoing the clasps and sliding them on. “Bradley tells me everything.” 
“Then I'm sure you know it was just a lapse in judgment.” You wonder if she knows that he failed to mention his engagement until after the sex. Somehow, you think she wouldn’t be nearly as disappointed in you if she knew that. 
“I told him not to marry her.” Nat lets out a chuckle. “I told him that if any part of him isn't sure about her, he shouldn't do it.” 
“Why would you do that?”
“Because he doesn't love her. He loves you.”
Bradley loving you is the most ridiculous concept you can think of. You dated on and off for a good five years before officially calling it quits three years ago. He began to date a lot, but would come around as soon as it was over to get a fix of you. You’re that kind of girl. You’re not the marrying type.
There’s just something about you that he can’t resist–no matter how long it’s been or how angry he was the last time he saw you. You two were always getting into it, fighting over anything and everything. All of those feelings would slip from his mind the moment he saw you, and you’d spend a couple nights together going at it like you never stopped. He loved that you were always there for him, not just for sex, but for everything else, too. He told you about Mav and you’re actually the reason he made amends a couple of years ago. Mav loves you, too. His friends became your friends–some of them like you better than him, even. Your lives fit together so seamlessly, yet it’s always felt like something wasn’t quite adding up.
The breaking up was never really anyone’s fault. It was everything and nothing at the same time. He used to think it was because he met the right person at the wrong time, but it seems like all the other times you tried, it never worked out, either. He refused to believe you were the wrong person until he met Serena. 
Serena is everything that you aren’t. Mostly, she’s stable. She lets Bradley know when she’s going to come home late or when she has errands to run. She leaves him little notes if she has to leave his place early in the morning and sends cute messages throughout the day, letting him know she’s thinking of him. She’s a teacher. She loves kids and she’s incredibly thoughtful and Bradley never imagined he could be with someone like that until he met her. 
But comparing her to you in the first place is exactly where he went wrong. 
She’s sweet–too sweet. She doesn’t get his or his friends’ humor and she goes to bed early, even on the weekends. Bradley bought her tickets to see one of her favorite bands play in Los Angeles, but she turned them down because she promised to attend a little league soccer tournament a couple of her students were playing in that day. Bradley gave them to Nat, who took you, and he sat watching eight-year-olds kick a ball around all day while you were having the time of your life a couple hours away.
Bradley’s staring at himself in the mirror. The guys are lounging on the couches behind him, drinking beer and watching whatever college football game is currently playing while he tries to figure out what he wants. He guesses he probably should've figured that out before he drove himself to the wedding venue this morning, but here he is. 
He looks down at the letter in his hands. A small, folded up piece of notebook paper that has worn edges and a few tears. He’s had it for a long time–longer than he’d like to admit. He opens it up and reads over the lines like he has a thousand times before. What he doesn’t realize is that Mav is standing over his shoulder, reading along with him. 
“That’s love if I’ve ever seen it. And I did.” He says with a smile, clapping Bradley’s shoulder and nearly giving him a heart attack. He makes eye contact with him in the mirror–eyes full of horror at the fact that Mav just read something way too personal that he’s never shown anyone–not even the person the note was intended for. “I can give that to Serena if you want…before the ceremony?” 
“No–no…it’s not–” Bradley’s at a loss for words. Mav’s making it worse by assuming it’s for his fiancée. The woman he’s supposed to be marrying in a few hours. Bradley sighs, head falling down to stare at the paper again. When he looks up, Mav sees in his eyes that there’s a lot going on in his head. “It’s not meant for–”
And then, just behind Mav, out the window that shows part of the parking lot, he sees you. You’re wearing sweats and wandering around like you have no idea where you’re at. Mav notices Bradley’s eyes shift and turns around, spotting you as you stand in place and pull out your phone, attempting to call Bradley one more time. When he turns back around, Bradley is gone. 
Eight years, five failed relationships, and one engagement is all it took for Bradley to realize he’s been the problem all along. It was never about marriage or you being a free spirit. It’s been him and his stubborn ideals that have held him back from being happy just the way he was with you. He’s the reason that he could never fully give himself to you, and rereading the note he wrote to you years ago on the day of his wedding to another woman made him realize that it’s you. It’s always been you.
When you see each other in the parking lot, it’s like everything stops. You stop walking and Bradley slows his running to a walk, holding a flimsy piece of paper in one hand. Your brows furrow. He’s breathing heavily, chest rising and falling through the thin fabric of his white t-shirt. He doesn’t look like he’s about to get married. 
“What are you doing out here?” You ask, suddenly feeling nervous. You weren’t planning on meeting him like this. In fact, you thought you were going to have to speak to Jake or Mav in order to get to him. You thought there would be begging. Part of you even expected to be turned away before you could get your message to him. You swallow the lump in your throat as you step closer to him. 
“I can’t do it.” He admits. “I want you to have this.” He reaches his hand out, the piece of paper flapping lifelessly in the light wind. You take it from him, holding it gingerly as you look down and read the brief note. It’s no more than a few sentences, detailing Bradley’s fear of how much he loves you. How much he needs you. Most importantly, how much he can’t wait to spend his whole life by your side–however that may look. That he’s always wanted what his parents had, and he thought that meant getting married, but he’s already got it with you. It’s dated back a few years ago. Right before he had broken up with you for the last time. 
“This is true?” You question, eyes filling with tears. Out of all the ways you saw this playing out in your head, this was not one of them. He nods, stepping forward and putting his hands on your arms. 
“Is that okay?” He questions softly, voice almost a whisper. You nod your head, unable to form actual words. The parking lot is crowded with vendors and staff getting ready for the wedding, but it feels like you and Bradley are the only two people on Earth. Like it always feels when you two are together. “Now let’s get out of here.”

my personal glow up guide 1)
physically :
find out what colors , according your skintone suits you the best. ( you can find a tone of pictures in pinterest and i'm recommend dearpeahie youtube chanel. )
also , find out your faceshape , eyeshape and what kind of makeup suits you the best. ofc style is also important but ( ffor example ) not everyone looks hot with a classic red lipstick. you can watch videos about that in youtube but i recommend you to recreate as much makeup style as you can , till you try the one that's work for you.
hygiene is also a big part of our glow up so find a signature scent and always bring perfume in your bag. for me , essential oils work more than perfumes. i like to mix the oil with my body lotion to make the effect last longer.
keep your hair healthy. cut it once in a while , get hair oil and apply hair mask on your hair once a week. and never ! I repeat, never! go to sleep with wet hair !
be exciting, don't wear your hair the same way every day ,there're a lot of hairstyles out there that you can try. there are my fav :
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
as you can see i really like ribbons , they brighten up the whole outfit
workout constently: for me , personally i dont go to the gym i do pilates at home and that's it and i lost a lot of fat with doing pilates everyday ( or atleast 5 times a week ).
i don't do diets , there was time when i cut sugar and it worked for me for a while but it caused me binge eating. i know that it works for many people but it's just not for me. if you can realite to my experience i suggest you to eat everything you want , just not too much and i think that's the key. i also don't count calories.
go to hot girl walks every freaking day. it's very important.
listen to subliminals !! finally ! that's my fav part. you can find a lot of great subliminal in youtube. i link you one of my playlist .
gua sha ! i lost a lot of face fat with gua sha. you can do face massages to it doesn't matter just do it constently. ( i do it every day in the morning , no matter how tired i am ).

avery head canons
@ariscats requested these, and avery's my fav girl so of course i'm gonna make them. hope you like them<3! (i apologize for any spelling mistakes). @catapparently helped me with some of these.
avery loves phoebe bridgers
she's also secretly a swiftie (she was a hugeeee love story stan when she was younger bc she dreamt of a love like that)
she relates to nothing new (ft. phoebe bridgers). she's always blasting that song in her room, crying. (jamie finds out she feels like that song and tries to comfort her by telling her she isn't just something that everyone will get tired of eventually).
she lovesss thrifting her own clothes.
avery pretends to hate her new wardrobe but she secretly likes it.
she used to only drink black coffee but then she found out she actually really likes flavored coffee (vanilla, caramel etc). she loves making her own little coffees at home (xander loves it too)
she went to the eras tour with a reputation/midnights crossover outfit
she loves candles, she has a ton of them in her room
the sheffield grayson kidnapping affects her more than she lets on (sometimes she imagines sheffield walking behind her while she's taking walks and stuff or she'll see his face everywhere)
she has an addiction to those shitty app store games
she used to be a huge star wars fan. she would force libby to watch the movies with her.
sometimes, during family dinners, she'll look at all the people around her (libby, max, the hawthornes, rebecca, etc) and think about how lucky she is to be loved by so many people. she sometimes tears up cause she used to wish to be that loved when she was younger. jamie always notices but knows that she doesn't like it when people point it out.
she loves fanfiction (xander and max introduced it to her)
she loves taking pictures of nature (her and grayson have a shared aesthetic insta account where they post all of their pictures) (i personally really love this one)
avery used to have a percy jackson fan account on insta when she was really young (her mom was her biggest fan) (the hawthornes found the account and find it adorable)
she's a huge percabeth shipper
her favorite book genre is murder mystery (holly jackson stan)
she used to love editing (there was this one percabeth edit of hers to my blood by ellie goulding that went viral)
her mom and her used to love watching rom coms
she used to wonder why no one wanted to be her friend when she was younger (cause she only has max)
ok this one's a bit dark and sad, but we all know she grew up poor in a shitty old town, and that's where you find all the weird creeps. based on the books, she seems to not really be comfortable with physical touch from strangers, so i hc that the reason why is bc walking home from school, she'd sometimes be harassed by these creeps.
she has scars from the bombing and the attempted shooting. she's insecure about them, but jamie always tells her they look beautiful (he also tells her they're proof of how strong she is)
she loves the beach (jamie brings her on dates there all the time)
she tends to get hate comments about her looks (this isn't really a head canon since it was kinda implied in tbh when those people were whispering about her looks (i may be imagining this). sometimes she gets insecure, but jamie always makes sure she knows how beautiful she is by kissing her and whispering sweet nothings in her ear etc. (this one was more of an aj one but oh well, i can never escape them)
avery has really good taste in clothing. her fans are always commenting about how hot she is.
she was times person of the year once
(this one is based off of a pic i saw on pinterest) avery once did a shoot for vogue where she wore a suit vest and nothing underneath and everyone went crazyyy (jamie too). (i'll insert a pic at the bottom)
she's convinced people hate her
she sometimes has nightmares about jamie breaking up with her (jamie proves her wrong in bed if you know what i mean)
she loves interacting with fans (she comments on posts, take pics with them in public, etc)
when libby and her used to live together in lib's apartment and they were struggling to buy food bc of money issues, avery would always leave the food to libby and tell her she ate at the diner (she actually didn't bc she once tried to steal some food but got caught. she didn't want to lose her job so she stopped).
avery secretly loves heels (they make her more confident)
her and rebecca vent to each other sometimes (avery feels really comfortable with her).
she lovesss sushi
absolutely love my girl avery (fav character of all time). i sort of see myself in her so i might be projecting in some of these. she's so underrated and it pisses me off (she easily solos all of the brothers).

Hello, my Tuna! Congrats on the milestone! :3c I was so excited about this event when I saw it! Yuuta will def be going to the beach party. After all the crazy shit at NRC he is ready for a break. Since Vil has been helping him with his potions he invites his tutor as his plus one. He doesn't know how Vil will respond but Vil was happy to accept a day of relaxing in the shade and reading over both their scripts for Film Studies! He was a bit taken off guard as he was sure Yuuta would ask Leona. (Since they both know how he can be.) But Yuuta was aware Leona will already be there for the volleyball games so it is no big deal to invite someone else, right? RIGHT? WRONG. The two of them had barely been there an hour and Leona is already "fallen asleep on an intertube", forcing Yuuta to "save" him. Damn. It was just when Vil was about to apply sunscreen on Yuuta's back too! *sigh* After the drama, I imagine Yuuta and Vil (Who is properly dressed for the sun with a huge hat and sunglasses) spend the rest of the day watching the games and cheering on their friends. Yuuta offers some snacks to the players but the Savanclaw members def hogged them all quickly. Yuuta would even help some of the players after the games by treating/massaging their sore muscles. But as always Leona would probably take up most of their time. Eventually, Yuuta MIGHT even let him share a hammock with them later to shut him up. (Oh and fav color is green btw!) I hope this was enough info! Link to Yuuta's outfit HERE. They only have a lifeguard suit so you can imagine how that would go for them all day. ;-;
Tumblr media
---
Leona was jealous. Would he say it outloud? Never, but he most definitely was. Seeing Yuuta arrive with Vil was one thing, but not having been personally invited by Yuuta was another. In order recieve retribution for this crime, Leona had made it his duty to be as bothersome as he could.
Throughout the volleyball game, Leona played dumb. He'd somehow manage to shoot the ball out of court that just so happened to knock into Yuutas parasol. Yuuta gave an annoyed look as they fixed the parasol back into place and took a seat back down. Yuuta quickly got comfortable and attempted to get back to relaxing only for another ball to fly over. Yuuta could see what Leona was trying to do, but wasn't giving in and ignored the ball. Nothing seemed to drive Yuuta out from the umbrella at this point. He had one last trick up his sleeve, if they won't come to him, he'll just have to go to them.
He lazed over towards Yuuta, not saying a word as he blocked out the sun. Yuuta was the first to break the silence "... What is it?" Yuuta began to sit up, but the lion instead pushed them back down as he plopped his body down ontop of them. Leona grumbled as he got comfortable across Yuutas thighs "Needed a pillow."
Before Yuuta could try to push him off Leona was out. Guess all that extra pettiness was more tiring then he expected, but at last he got some attention. Even if it was a childish war, Yuuta couldn't help but pet over Leona's hair. Yuuta couldn't help but think his dumb antics were just a tiny bit cute.
---
HELLOOO~ OMG THE ART YOU MADE WAS SO CUTE AND LEONAS FIT- All i could think of was the jacket from camp vargas XD He would wear a speedo too- Thank you for the congratz too! Aaaa i hope you can enjoy this! (Vil meanwhile is just like 😑 get a room- hHHSDEHB)

I TORTURED GOV! <333 I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE- YALL CHOSE HIM FOR THE TORTURE VICTIM MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-[dies]
@misery-has-no-company-now :)
Summary: life gets too much for the poor suit bastard and he snaps at PA
TW for: mention of wanting to do s3lf h4rm, but no actual sh. And talks of alcoholism and possible 4bus3?
————————
    It was around 8pm and Gov had just about had enough. Enough of what? Life. F*cking life. Email after email......document after document......scolding after scolding......paper after paper......coffee after coffee...... sleepless night after sleepless night......he was simply done with it. This was his life every day. God everything was so loud...
    Gov eyed the dagger on the corner of his desk. He remembers his sister, International District of Columbia or just IDC, gifting him the dagger a few years ago, though he couldn't exactly remember why. And he wasn't going to try to. He was way too tired for that. He continues to stare at the dagger for another five minutes, allowing those thoughts to fill his already crowded mind. He didn't exactly want to die right? No...... Just a little bit of blood...nothing much... he started to reach for the intricately designed blade. C'mon... no one will even notice...just a little... He pulls his hand back before it makes contact with the hilt. No. He couldn't. Not after the years of being clean. He can't. But would anyone actually notice if I just took a little blood...? Yes. Yes they would. ...but would they...?
    He was quickly ripped out of his thoughts as he heard a knock on the door. Gov quickly ran a hand through his hair and wiped away the tears that he hadn't even noticed had built up in his eyes. He took a sip of coffee before saying:
    "Come in!" in his voice that was raspy from disuse. He turned back to his work. He heard the faint sound of the door opening. And the sound of it locking. Through the corner of his eye, he could see Pennsylvania. Why him... he didn't feel like talking to his father. If he could even call him that. He never acted like much of a father to be honest. A good father isn't supposed to get drunk and thrown into a blind rage almost every night. A good father wouldn't neglect and ignore his son until he needed him. A good father wouldn't sit calmly knowing that his son was being bombarded with unreasonable amounts of work that was definitely too much for one man to do on his own and then getting yelled at or worse when there's a small mistake or when one little paper amongst several doesn't get turned in. Yeah. Pennsylvania is hardly what Gov would consider a good father. Yet still, he turned his chair towards him and put on his very practiced polite voice:
"Hello Pennsylvania, how may I help you?" he asked, smiling politely. That smile that was for sure not genuine. The one he used when talking to politicians and sh*t.
"C'mon. Ya need to take a break idiot." said the keystone state, his voice filled with...concern??? Well that's new...
"I'm fine." muttered Gov, voice barely above a whisper.
"No yer not. Ya can't go this long without sleepin' or eatin' or drinkin' anythin' besides coffee and energy drinks. It ain't good for ya."
"...since when did you care?"
"what?"
Gov looked up from his work to weakly glare at his father. "I said, Pennsylvania, since when did you care?"
"What are ya on about?? Yer my kid! O' course I care about you!!"
Welp. That was the last straw.
"What the hell do you mean ya care??? Since when didja ever care about me????" Gov said, raising his venom-filled voice a little as his NE accent started making itself known.
"What??? Gov, you're my son, why the f(speaks PA)k would I not care??? What are you on about????"
Gov laughed a bit in almost a psychopathic way. Pennsylvania backed up slightly as Gov arose from his seat, staring down into his very soul.
"You???? THE Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?? Cares about me??? Oh that's gold." Gov said, towering over his father.
"What the F(SPEAKS PA)K are you talkin' about?! Since when have I ever stopped lovin' you?!" Pennsylvania shouted.
"So the years of you watching me constantly getting bombarded with overwhelming amounts of work was love?? The constant nights of you gettin' drunk every goddamn night and bein' thrown into a blind rage by every little thing was love??? Every single time you sat by and watched as I was brutally scolded and sometimes hit by my handlers was love???? Only ever bein' proud of me when I was workin' my ass off was love????? THAT was love?!?!" Gov shouted. Damn did it feel good to yell.
"......"
"WELL?! ANSWER MY GODDAMN QUESTIONS GODDAMNIT!!" Gov shouted again, tears rolling down his face.
"I- I know that you're angry......"
"I'm not angry, I am in pain, and YOU put me here!!" said the younger personification, holding back a choked sob. He glared not daggers, but swords into his father's soul. The Keystone State squirmed a bit uncomfortably at the feeling of his son's gaze. Good.
"I-"
Gov chokes back another sob, "You! The person who's supposed to love me more than anything..."
Pennsylvania finally backed out of the corner he had backed himself into. "G-Gov I-" he placed a hand on Gov's shoulder.
"Git the HELL OFF OF ME!!" Gov said before delivering a harsh slap to Pennsylvania's face, leaving the older state in shock. After a few seconds, Gov came to the realization of what he just did. 'I'm such an idiot...' he thought to himself as he frantically looked for an exit.
Gov got up and ran towards the door, shoving his father out of the way in the process. He bolted through the Northeast Floor of the statehouse, trying to ignore any confused looks from the NE states that were still awake and out. He ran about halfway before stopping near a window. He knew that right below the window was Louisiana's room. Loui. Loui is safe. Loui is good. Must go to Loui. Gov opened the window and jumped out, ignoring the slight pain that shot through his legs when he landed. As he started to catch his breath, he heard a window open and a few soft voices:
"Sha??? Are ya aight??" Loui...
"What the hell?? Damn Fed I didn't know this was mission impossible!" Florida...
!SMACK!
"Ow!"
"Shut yer damn mouth Florida! Hon are ya okay??" Texas...
"Eh he'll be fine it ain't that big of a drop." New York. Duh.
"York it's at least a 4 or 5 story drop!" Cali...
"And?"
"I-"
Gov never thought he would feel so relieved to hear the voices of his boyfriends. He never thought he would be so relieved to feel strong arms pull him up and in through the window......

rant kinda ,, just rambling abt springtrap,spoilers asf abt the movie 👍 everything positive tho))
.
.
.
.
Nbjbnmm ok so,,,since fnaf 3 came out ive been a fan of springtrap itself (w/o knowing who was inside lol) and like,he stayed as my fav since that even later when i found out who he was,(i kinda still see springtrap as a character of its own) and when i watched the movie? bro the feeling of seeing william afton,,,,the springbonnie suit....that fucking entrance GODDD the way he just menacingly walks slowly,first the eyes glowing and then just appearing fully njkgdukh cheff kiss,,,all the little details we see when hes fully suited...when he tilts his head a bit and THE ROBOTIC VOICE EFFECTS!!! i cannot wait to see springtrap.....i was like 100% sure we will see it on the second one but now that i think of it maybe itll be on the last one? like,even more epic but i also dont think so since hes like,the only villain so,,,ghhhhh im so fucking excited to see the design of springtrap in the movie just thinking of it makes me vibrate out of existence like...hes such a character i love sm i never knew i needed to see him like that,moving,walking,talking..but now that i did i wanna see him forever o(-( ill never get enough nor get tired of movie springbonnie nor springtrap when he appears i just hope he gets A LOT of screen time since on the first one we only got it at the very end,speaking technically it would make sense that on the 2nd we get wayyy more of him
im also looking forward for his backstory like,since we know so far its a different story,i wonder how different the backstory of the afton family will be? like...will william have a dead son (akka evan) or not? caused by his own animatronic or not? if not,im rlly curious about what happened years ago
I wonder if Henry also existed on the movie story 👁👁,there are some theories only,we do know that someone was working on the animatronics in the guide of security thingy,and the guy does look veryyy similar to mike's dad,and the way will reacts to mike's last name? yeah....theres no way his working buddy didnt have the same last name,hence why that reaction,and the fact that he kidnapped his brother,leads me to think maybeee some drama happened between henry and will? like,as a kind of revenge maybe..

hi, so happy that you’re having an event !! can i please get a 🩰 and 🪞 (just the vibe you get from me and my akk ig, also i looove you theme so very looking forward to the moodboards)
male preference, marauders era / well, im 21, studying literature and linguistics in the uni. im leo (which says a lot)/ im really into literature - my fav books are probably classic english novels like little women and frankenstein. but i also adore sci fi and fantasy / i love abba and taylor swift a lot / i love wearing sweaters, classic suits and vintage shirts with collars and puffy sleaves. also obsessed with jewellery (pearls, golden rings an hoops) / my weird obsessions are true crime and supernatural (the tv show)/ i love going out in cinema and theatre/ i am bubbly until you are disrespectful to me or which is worse to my friends, my bestie says she’s scared when im mad/ hate stupidity and being late/ hope to become a researcher in the field of education 🦢🕯️
heyy ty for participating in my 500 celebration 🫧
☾⋆。𖦹 °✩
🩰 : i ship you with remus lupin
╰┈➤ remus loves spending time with you in silence while reading english classics. it could be in his dorm, library, couch, anywhere.
remus' head was positioned against your thigh, he was listening attentively as you read 'little women' out loud to him. "I can't say 'yes' truly, so I won't say it at all," you said. "do they end up together?" the boy looked up at you. "jo and laurie?" you ran your fingers through his hair as your face stretched into an amused smile. remus hummed in reply. "well, we've got to finish the book to find out," you answered although you knew the ending all too well.
╰┈➤ remus loves seeing you in sweaters all snuggly and warm, he'd lend you his sometimes too. oh and also, he thinks your style looks so flattering on you and would definitely buy clothing items or jewelries that remind him of you. you didn't care if it was expensive or not, you love anything that he gives you. pearls, rings, and hoops give the vibes of elegance which he adores so much!!
both of you were shopping together and he stumbled across a gorgeous piece of clothing. "wait, this one will look stunning on you! try it please?" his finger pointed to a puff sleeved top with pearls decorating it. "well, what do you think?" you questioned as you did a spin with your arms out. "i love it." he ended up buying it for you and you kiss him in return.
╰┈➤ you and remus will have a movie night twice a month to watch sci-fi movies and if you're having a rough day, he'd put on supernatural- because he knew it's your favourite- while cuddling you on the bed with different kinds of snacks to cheer you up. he would take you out to the cinema when there's a good film you've been eager to watch or on special days he will get you tickets to see live theatres.
"honey, c'mere to bed," he said when he saw you walking in, face tired and body exhausted. "i've got your favourite snacks," he continued as you plopped down beside him, a sigh escaping your lips. "thanks, love," you gave remus a chaste kiss before positioning yourself to get comfortable under the blanket with him. "relax yourself, dove, you've had enough of work today," he kissed the top of your head before pressing play on the screen.
"oh my god you did not!" you gasped when remus held out two tickets to watch 'the phantom of the opera'. "i know you wanted to watch a live performance lately so...." he said shyly as a wide smile appeared across your face. "it must cost a fortune!" you shook your head in disbelief, looking at him with love and admiration. "don't worry about that." he just loves making you happy.
╰┈➤ after hearing from your friend about how scary you were when you're mad, the last he'll do is making you mad. he's a bit reckless sometimes so he'd be more careful about what he says or does.
╰┈➤ remus is a man of discipline. he would never be late!!!
╰┈➤ he is so supportive of your dreams of becoming a researcher in education. we all know he's very academically smart and well educated so he gives you little opinions (though you don't need it because i'm sure you know what you're doing but love hearing his thoughts anyway)
╰┈➤ i also ship you with james potter solely because you both have fire signs and uh hello?? twin fire signs (yes a taylor reference)

She doesn't realise how hard that is for him, does she? Her saying Jordie's name feels wrong to me. It's his most intimate secret and trauma. I don't remember the book much (I'm fixing that already), but I believe he first told about Jordie to Jesper.
"Damn it, Jordie!" "Who the hell is Jordie?" "Someone I trusted. Someone I didn't want to lose."
I keep talking about that because it's incredibly important, but they tone it down with Jesper. I NEED to see that interaction between Kaz and Jesper.
Jesper's point of view on all of this is so different compared to Inej's.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Will you leave him the fuck alone, please? Stop fucking pushing him. It infuriates me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Go fuck yourself then. You have no idea how mad I am right now. I am so mad, I wanna cry. Jesper would NEVER.
It's hard for him to even stay that close to her. It's hard for him to touch her. Yet, she's like: "I don't care! Cure yourself immediately for me!"
Tumblr media
The way she looks at him and that he can touch her and she can touch him. You do that. She's not ready for Kaz. She wants some other version of him, not the real him.
Tumblr media
Oooh, we have a new cane? The one that should be more comfortable to use when walking. Good for him! Also, I am sooo happy to see him back at the Crow club. I'm tired of those open spaces and sunshine and all that nonsense. Kaz's place is in his club. It suits him. Also, where is Jesper with his gambling habit?
Tumblr media
JURDA PAREM??? ICE COURT???? Nina changing her abilities and raising the dead???? I AM READY.
I think my fav episode still remains 4 or 5. Whatever it was when Kaz made Rollins kneel in front of him. I think the flashbacks and his trauma were one of the best things shown right for the Crows. Then there's Jesper with his mom. I'm ready to see Colm. <3 Oh, and Nina is a beauty. I love her. As much as I'd want a fatter actress playing her, Danielle is doing great. She fits into this role.

Hi! Sorry I took so long to share. This is the picture from season 4:
https://www.instagram.com/p/C2zsCNAr8tT/?igsh=MTNrajRhM3R3aXM4dg==
I’m not sure if links work through asks but the official account (umbrellaacad) posted it on instagram. I don’t think having an account is necessary to be able to see it.
Tumblr media
It worked, thanks, friend!!!
Hm. Hmmm. Yeah that...is a thing that they posted. Huh. lol.
I mean. This will seem shallow, but Klaus's appearance has always seemed intentionally tied to his inner emotional and psychological (and yes, spiritual) journey--his tattoos alone attest to that--so I think I'm particularly critical of what doesn't seem aligned to his character development visually. That said, I can see how he'd maybe revert to a point in his life when he chopped off and straightened his BEAUTIFUL CURLY hair ( =_=;;;; lol) since the excruciating journey he just embarked upon in order to START seeing himself as worth more than the mastery of his powers ...has kind of been...nullified lol by losing them (I get it, it's a Gerard Way esque thing to be totally nihilistic). Klaus may feel as if he can go back to his younger years (the tennish years preceding the start of Season One) and relive them totally detoxed, harm to his brain and organs also reset, sober. And that's valid, plus I know Klaus has a penchant for going through phases to distract himself from his real problems.
Which is why I'm So Tired™ when I see the nitrile gloves. They have to be in a "still-no-powers" timeline in this shot because Luther is still not fused with ape DNA. I am guessing this is going to be some kind of dumbass ableist gag (lbr, TUA has never cared about stepping right in it when it comes to ableist tropes) a la Adrian Monk and "hoho haha, compounded, severe and complex trauma gave him germaphobic OCD!" (in Klaus's case, because he now has remembered all the murder-experiments Reg did on him in the crypt, and he's no longer immortal, so that makes him hyper-aware of anything that could kill him without his safety net). On the one hand, if this is true I'm happy he has something to lose and therefore cares about how to spend his limited remaining days. On the other hand, no, I don't want Klaus to die, I want him to still have his powers but also CHOOSE to do the work of slowly recognizing he doesn't need them to be worthy of unconditional love.
Is the potential germaphobia good writing? Probably, in many respects.
Is it what I want, because I'm a soft-touch who just wants to see her favs heal because it gives her comfort? Nah.
Is reducing Klaus and his character development to a punchline what I want? God no. I'm so tired of it. I don't care how satirical the show is. Pick on someone else, lmao. I know he's the fandom fav which translates somehow into making him the target for the worst disastrous twists, but LET THE DUMB GAY DANDELION REST.
I saw someone write an alternate theory which I now have forgotten but I KNOW I reblogged it so please feel free to go digging in my reblogs.
Other thoughts: You can tell by the way he's the only one looking a different direction, Five is still the real leader, and I'm glad Luther gave up on that, bc he's Ferdinand the Bull and it doesn't suit him to be all stressed out and bossy. He picks up siblings and throws them down stairs or strangles them when he's overwhelmed, haha DDDDD: Anyway, poor Fivey never wears civilian clothes, except that One Time when he and Klaus went looking for Klaus's birthmother (they are good for each other and need to just like...get in a fucking car and leave again. LOL).
Ben and Viktor look hot but also confused which, fair, especially in Ben's case since he's a Sparrow and a moody Edgelord who needs hugs, lol. And possibly a more dangerous enemy than Reginald, which I frankly hope brings out Klaus's "I'm a big harmless sweetheart who finally snapped a la Katara bloodbending in Avatar" moment. I Need It. Literally every other sibling has had the chance at a minor nervous breakdown, come on. Let Klaus not be okay and acknowldge it to anyone who'll listen! And yeah I know his siblings all love him, I've never disputed that once. Sometimes love ain't enough, and needs to pair up with respect. Sad but realistic truth.
Finally, I wanna know if Allison has reconciled with the family and if so, how. She is fascinating and I think her villain era in s3 was 100 percent in alignment with her character development and her lifelong issues with consent (also Reginald's fault!)
This all came out spicier than I meant LOL. Im not snarking at you, anon, I swear. Thanks for sharing <3 I just expect VERY little out of Season 4. Hopefully I'll be wrong! I was similarly wrong with the Loki series, which gsve me a perfect final-arc scenario for my favorite character of all time.

I raise you a cute soft thought
Nai's sweet, patient wittle baby always sleeping cozy in his arms so much Nai straight up just ends up carrying them around most of the time, bundled up in a little ball like a pill bug, small arms out, palms resting, legs dangling crossed. This tiny, tiny cocoon of feeble mortal skin and bones.
I can see Nai feeling perhaps perplexed about it, if not hesitant, but softens up. He comes to learn how much he loves packing along his little baby like this. So close, close enough to hold, to love, to protect. He is a fierce, stotic man; holding the world's weakest creature.
And he will diligently cut the arms off anyone who dares try to pry his beloved child from his arm.
I wanted sooo bad to draw an image for this, but I even tried an alternative one and just eventually gave up and decided that I cannot draw babies or people holding babies at this point in time in the point of view I want, even with pose references. So, instead, I offer you a mental image of what I had in mind for the alternative image I attempted to draw and just gave up on: Imagine, you happen across the ship wreckage, carelessly entering, be it to plunder or take shelter, and the first thing you happen to see is the back of a large man, wearing the rather form fitting custom suit worn on the ships and there, resting their head on his shoulder, is a small baby staring at you, chewing on their hand. Perhaps the last thing you'll see is the piercing ice blue eyes of the man as he turns to look at you over his opposite shoulder and the intimidating set in his brow and jaw.
Also, as a person who plays Sims and is super guilty of making all my favs in CAS,… Seeing Knives hold a toddler had me going feral. I was like, beating my fist against this stack of books I have on my desk and grinning like a goof. XD It made me so indescribably happy. It was just so cute!! Gahh!! Big strong mean men holding a wittle baby?!?! Being soft?!!? My heart!! For real, Vegeta was a gateway into these types of men for me I just- It's my kryptonite now! And just imagine: reader there, tired, recovering from giving birth, and he's holding the baby in the crook of one arm, and holding her hand with the other, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles, maybe showing a brief moment of tenderness and leaning down to kiss the back of her hand. Beautiful. Augh. And he's just kinda looking between the two of them as reader sleeps? Wondering how this even happened? Unable to quite grasp that this is now his reality? He's just looking at the baby like, 'We made this. How.'
And can I just ramble a bit on how bizarre it is that like, we start out this tiny little thing in the womb, get around the size of a watermelon and are birthed, and then we just… Grow? Our bodies, our very bones elongate and our features change entirely throughout. It's… Wild to me. We're small, fleshy, squishy, weak things because that's what we need to be to even come out of the womb like we do, to be birthed with the least risk possible to both mother and us, and even that's rough. But the fact our bones just… Grow together as we age and then keep growing, getting longer and stronger. It's insane to me how we go from such tiny weak things to these taller, more defined bodies. Like, puberty hits and all sorts of crazy shit happens. I've never really taken the time before now to just be like, 'Isn't it crazy how this just happens? How our bodies just do this?' They just expand and elongate over the years as we grow. I don't know, it's just wild to see just how tall and broad shouldered some people get when we all started as these teeny tiny beings. And the way our bodies produce fat is just crazy to me; the way our bodies create teeth for us, hair, and fingernails, and the way our bodies even function. And how even is it that a single egg cell and a sperm can turn into an entire human with every organ needed to function? Life is crazy to me, so crazy and so fragile, even as adults, but so, so complex. And the moms out here are the real MVPs, carrying us to term, going through all this pain and suffering just so that we can see the light of day. The fact that a woman can just carry this tiny being inside of her. So crazy to me, so fascinating. And even Knives would have to sit there and handle thoughts like these, feeling reader's tummy as the baby grew and developed more over time. Starting so small and then getting big enough that their movement can be felt through her stomach.

Hiii love!
How are you doing? It's been ages again 🫣
I went ice skating again today for the first time in years, and even though I am exhausted now and my legs hurt I had so much fun and I was actually still able to skate pretty well! Very proud of myself for that haha
Also, the Vegas Race... I'll probably be able to watch it, even though it's so goddamn early in the morning and I am so excited because its gonna be such a shitshow!
Pitlane Exit onto the hairpin, cold tyres, almost no corners, that weird sphere thing in the background... It's Gonna be interesting! I just hope noone gets hurt or anything, because I actually do expect half the grid to dnf. Hopefully not any favs though!!
(what if max dnfs then Lando win in Las Vegas babyyyy) (definetly Not happening but a girl can dream)
Life has been good to me, I can't believe it's almost December already! I will fly home for Christmas to see my family and I am really excited for it, got almost all the Christmas present already even though usually I am awfull at this (expect my mom, because I always wanna get her something extra special because she does so much and I never find anything good enough 😭)
Are you good with presents? I am always terrified they will hate what I chose... Meh.
Anyways, I hope you have a fun time watching the race if you can and had a good week!
(also, the Lando/Oscar aftercare?? As always, chefs kiss! I will never get tired of your storys...)
-✨
love!!! hello!!!!!
it sure has been ages, i've missed you! happy to hear that you've been good <3 ice skating! that's so much fun!! i had practically never ice skated before 2020 but i tried it once with a friend and i was hooked. haven't done it in a while tho 💔 maybe this winter!
did u end up getting up in the morning to watch? lowkey hope u didn't considering what happened to lando 😭 but then again, it's not much better to wake up to the news that he's in the hospital... i woke up at 8 to just watch macau and then that was just as much of a shitshow lol! sad that i didn't wake up to watch osc all the way since he had such a good run. im actually surprised at how good las vegas was compared to the expectations... i didn't look too hard but i didn't see the sphere thing too much 🤣 it should've played the inchident video to celebrate lestappen podium 🙏
so happy it's almost december and christmas! the best time of the year 🤭 i'm glad you'll have time to go home and spend the holidays with your family, you deserve a good break <3<3 i think i'm quite alright with presents if i know the person well, but otherwise it's so hard.... not only do we barely even celebrate christmas in my family (it breaks my heart since it's my favorite holiday......), but we're especially bad at gift giving lol! we usually just don't make a big deal out of it. suits me kinda well tho because receiving presents can make me kinda uncomfy 😶
awe love i hope you have a good week too!! come back soon again 💓

Okay, so I wanna go on for a bit here.
In the Dragon cry sketches, we actually saw Mashima draw a suit as Capricorn's SD which was actually perfect for his taste and clothing choice. AND his own personality. But Mashima also drew another SD, which was most probably a Draco constellation dress, not sure. And I'm most definitely sure he merged the two designs to come up with the current one.
Personally, as a dress I love the design of the current one but as a SD of a spirit like Capricorn, it is awful and doesn't make sense at all. Like I agree that the dresses are to reflect the personalities and choices of the spirits themselves. Capricorn choosing a outfit like that doesn't sit right with me.
Ofc Leo's would be a gorgeous gown, Aries' would be a cute and soft and fluffy dress, Taurus' would be a sexy one(tho I'd have loved if Lucy got a jacket with the bikini top), Saguttarius' would be a beautiful green shooter-type(I actually love how the anime added extra black leggings), Virgo's would be a maid costume, the Aquarius one being bikini makes sense, Cancer's is the most amazing with Lucy having twin blades to counter the enemies(and I'd have loved to see Cancer wield big scissors instead of the small ones). AND then the Gemini and Scorpio designs are my most fav ones (as SDs). A badass hairtyle like Scorpio and a red scorpion tail to top it off. The Gemini one actually goes with their magic type since it's actually a lot like real magic, how they copy people and transform. So the magician-ish dress is perfect!
But did you see the AxS design, I hate it even more than the AxG one. The design makes even less sense than the recent one. It looks like a nonsensical costume that seems like can do heavy lifting but actually can't. Lucy has literally no use of those robot-ish parts of the mix. It was used as a way of adding some unwanted fanservice. And with the recent mix, I have lost hope of getting proper outfits. At this point I don't want any, literally any SD to merge with Aquarius. It'll inevitably ruin the dress.
The most modest ones like Scorpio's and Gemini's unique outfits turned into a sturdy bikini and the other one a glittering bikini made me give up hope. I don't even look at outfits now, only consider her achievements. I've talked about it many times how ridiculous it seems for Lucy to suddenly loose her clothes in a battle. I'm tired of it now.
But I've seen many people say, "Lucy did nothing except get naked" or "Laxus did all the work" or "she's JUST fanservice and no might" and I do think they're the vocal Lucy haters. But in general, people complaining about the dress mix aren't them. And I share the same feelings.
Oh dear, you are so right on all this. 
Capricorn’s SD is really sad to see. I begrudgingly admit it’s kinda cool as it is, not going to lie, love the glasses and the braids and the sexy mature cut on the dress, it manages to set itself apart from Loke’s despite both being off-shoudler dresses, but it just... why, Mashima? Why? Capricorn would never approve of this! Where is the super serious butler that respected Layla? Layla (and Anna, now that I think about it) are some of the most modestly-dressed women in the show, so I definitely believe Capricorn would want Lucy to dress like them simply because he knows she’ll look good in it. 
Yes! the base star dresses all look beautiful. I do think some of them could be better or more developed to the spirits (Cancer and Sagittarius are a bit strange because they don’t match the spirit appearances at all, but eh, that’s details), but as single designs, they are all wonderful for what they are, Capricorn aside. I love Aquarius’ the most because it’s a bikini, but it’s at least more functional and comfortable than panties and a bra. It’s a really good balance between fanservice and genuinely something I’d want to wear if I had the assets to pull it off. I love that some of them gave Lucy more combat abilities as well (Cancer, for example). I do kind of wish Loke’s was a bit more functional though, since his main thing is close combat. But it makes sense for him, so it’s fine. The concept of the dresses is just so fun. I could talk about them, both positively and negatively, forever. 
Oh dear I agree. AxS is awful. There was way too much robot against the stupid swimsuit and it just looked bad. But I at least appreciated the creativity, you know? Honestly, I feel we could have found a balance with a thinner tail or shorter glove/boots, Mashima just didn’t try too hard since it only showed for a panel or two. It needs to be reworked so badly. 
AxG was just a swimsuit. Just a swimsuit. They couldn’t even retain any of the magician/clown parts of Gemini, that seriously annoys me! And Aquarius’ contribution is even worse, does Mashima know that mermaid-cut dresses exist? MERMAID? Aquarius can be something other than a typical swimsuit, geez! And they can be ASYMMETRICAL and layered, too! It’s perfect for a Gemini fusion! 
I think it’d have been great if the fusions weren’t literally mixing them together, but the product of “what would both spirits give Lucy?” Honestly, I think among the spirits, Aquarius and Scorpio are totally the type to give you crap about your fashion sense. Aquarius is a very girly girl, and Scorpio is a rockstar! Choosing what to give Lucy as a fusion star dress would be like, a funny way to actually give these two depth in their relationship. Like, their first time ever having a disagreement. 
...I wish the spirits still got personality exploration... I’m sad now...
As for your final point-- you know what? You’re right. Haters gonna hate on that regard. Love to see Lucy finishing a battle on her own, and it’s sad that even after coming this far and going as far as using the spirits’ powers, her achievements are still credited to the damn guys around her. People who think that way are never going to change their minds, they’ve already decided what they think about it.

Doing a round of asks answering
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ooh... oops. Thank you for telling me, I didn’t notice! It should work now.
Tumblr media
Thanks!! Yes, using my art as an icon is perfectly okay! If you can credit somewhere, it’s appreciated but not obligatory. The only thing I’m asking is that no one try to make it seems like it’s their art but that’s kinda a different problem on its own.
Tumblr media
Uhmmmm... I love looking at art that has a cute and soft style, use of colors is my fav thing to be inspired from! I also love cute stationary : stickers, washi tape, postcards, pencils... And collecting pokémon merch.  I think the part I enjoy the most in art is not only imagining a drawing as a flat 2D art but also to conceptualise it as a real life item from the start. How should I draw it if I want it to look the best as a pin or as a keychain, etc? Which material should I choose to suit it the best? It’s fun.
Tumblr media
AAAaa... (First, thanks!) Yeah sorry, I’ve been away for some months, about half a year, but that wasn’t only on tumblr, I wasn’t really active on any of my social media accounts. It’s mostly because I wasn’t happy with my life at the moment and took the time to change a lot of things. I had to let go of long-term efforts in trying to build something for myself (both about my couple and my living place) but also started a lot of new things in 2021 and 2022 (got into a new relationship and moved in with them).  Truth is I still find Tumblr to be the most... clean and gallery-like social website around? I mostly use it for that. It’s a lot easier to just scroll on my page and see a lot of my art at once than anywhere else. I like Twitter though, it’s very active and bubbly and I see a lot of art I love there, but it’s hardly practical.  Even though it can be considered as a “clean gallery” too, I’ve never really liked Instagram because I’ve lived though Facebook pages and it’s basically this damn experience again. The ever-changing algo and the “pay if you want people to see this post” is tiring and the push on video content is... well... not my thing.  I’m surprised that there’s still some activity and interactions on Tumblr though, it’s nowhere near as active as it was but the culture of writing comments in the tags when reblogging was always something I liked. It feels a lot less intimidating than a direct interaction with a post author so I feel people are just more casually commenting this way? It’s always nice to read through them.
