Can you write a fluffy jimin oneshot where he gets jealous of your new puppy bc u were drowning the puppy in attention leaving jimin behind.
Clingy, fluffy, whiney Jimin is my weakness 😩
Puppy Love
Tumblr media
Pairing: Park Jimin x Reader
Genre: Fluff, crack
Summary: You didn’t think your 27 year old boyfriend would act this way after you’ve gotten a puppy.
A/N: HI BABE idk if you are alive 😭 but here is this long, overdue writing for you <3 forgive me pls I stopped writing for months and then here I am, back ?? Hopefully this goes well. Enjoy!
-
When Tae and his dog, Yeontan, came over to visit the new apartment that Jimin and you have just finished moving into, you couldn’t help the aggressive cuteness growing in your heart. You decided that maybe getting a new puppy would be good for Jimin and you, and your little apartment.
“Really? That’ll be great! We could have pet play dates!” Tae exclaimed over the phone after you have just told him about your idea.
“I know right! And it’ll be a great surprise too!” You reply, already imagining Jimin’s reaction.
“Alright, I have to go now, but let me know how it goes!” Tae said his goodbye as you agreed.
You jumped off your shared bed excitedly, in a hurry to put on your shoes and get the newest family member today. Jimin was still at work, so you had all day to get a puppy until he came home.
-
“And this is Levi. We found him on the side of a road on a rainy day, so we took him in,” The worker said, showing you the light brown puppy.
“Oh my gosh, he is so cute!” You grinned from ear to ear, playing with the puppy a little bit.
“He seems to really like you; he’s never this energetic when people come to see him,” She commented, admiring how the puppy instantly started to play with you.
“Really? Wow, maybe he’s the one,” You gasped, picking up the puppy and holding him to your chest.
“Well, if that’s so, then Levi finally has a home to go to!”
You nodded, looking back at the puppy in your arms.
-
“And this is your new home, buddy! Do you like it?” You giggled as you opened Levi’s cage, letting him explore his new home as he barked happily.
“Daddy’s not home yet, but in the meantime, why don’t we set up your stuff and toys?” You kind of splurged on Levi’s needs, but you couldn’t help it! You loved the puppy too much.
After a long evening of putting up Levi’s stuff, it was already 10pm, meaning that Jimin will be home any minute now.
You picked up the small puppy in your arms, walking to the front door just as Jimin came in.
“Hey ba- is that a puppy?” Jimin gaped, looking at the tiny little creature in your arms.
“Surprise! This is Levi, the newest addition to this family,” You exclaimed, showing him Levi.
“Oh my gosh, baby, he’s so cute. You got us a puppy?” He laughed, taking the puppy from you.
“Yep! I figured since we moved into a new apartment together, why not get a pet too?”
“You are so cute, pretty girl. This is great; I love you,” Jimin smiled before giving you a peck on the lips.
“I love you too, minnie,” You reply before giving a kiss to Levi as well.
-
“Baaabe, when are you coming to bed?” Jimin whined from your shared bed.
“Soon! I’m almost done teaching Levi this trick,”
“You two have been going at it for almost three hours now! Don’t you miss me?” He frowned.
“I always miss you, you big baby. Just give me five more minutes and then I’ll come to bed,” You teased.
After 15 minutes, you still weren’t in bed and Jimin had become even whinier.
“Levi’s taking up all of your attention and I don’t like it,” Jimin pouted as he stood in front of you, frowning while giving you the saddest eyes.
“Jimin, he’s a puppy, of course he’s going to need all of my attention. You should be giving him attention too, you are the dad!”
“I already gave him a lot of attention earlier! It’s time to go to bed!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll be with you in a minute,” You promised, taking the furball into your arms and walking over to his bed.
“Time to go to bed, buddy. Mommy will play with you tomorrow morning, okay?” You whispered to Levi before putting him down. He circled his bed a few times before finally going to sleep.
You admired your puppy before turning and walking back to the bed, where your cute boyfriend laid in, all snuggled up with a pouty face, waiting for you.
“My clingy baby, have I been neglecting you?” You giggled, sliding into the warm bed next to Jimin.
“Yes. Now you have to give me extra cuddles,” He murmured.
You hummed.
“-and kisses, and hugs, and attention,”
You laughed at his neediness, “Okay, minnie. Anything else?”
“Hmm. No, just want you to love me now,”
“That I will definitely do,” You assured him, running your hand through his fluffy mop of hair.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»
I’m I think I really like this guy (∗∕ ∕•̥̥̥̥∕ω∕•̥̥̥̥∕) . It’s a little sad because I put so much energy into him and he barely puts any into me … I want to ask him on a date so badly but I think he only sees me as a friend and nothing more… he’s pretty nice and we have similar music taste and interests. He works a lot so it’s hard to get him to hang out with me.. and he’s a terrible texter.. but when we do text ♡´・ᴗ・`♡ he’s really nice and I enjoy chatting with him .. at least he’s honest that he’s busy .. a couple days ago he did ask me to text him tomorrow because he will be at work all day and bored … sooo like ofc (o´ω`o) I’m like yes !!! I’m reading this as “ omg he likes my attention”!! He was telling me he was not feeling well so I felt bad for him and told him to take it easy. I checked on him today and he said he called off work because he was not feeling well and by the looks of it he does seem like he needs a break because he works long hours some sometimes only gets one day off a week . So yikes I know how that feels and that would burn me out so bad. I guess i just relate to him and want him to be ok. As much as I want to ask him out on a date I A) don’t want to rush into things B) don’t know how he feels about me. C) am scared of rejecting and think it’s too soon because I think I’d like him as a friend as well.
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
So like here are the reasons I think he kind of likes me .
(/≧ω\) now hear me out!! I know I sound like I am delusional .. just a tiny bit
But ! He’s nice to me! We did talk once on VC and he said he’s like to do it again! Because he liked it. I’ve been trying to work on getting us to bc again but he’s so busy.
He also sends emoticons and little emoji when we chat so that’s really cute ! I mean he replies when he can too and specifically requested I message him the next day that one time,,,,. We also have a Spotify blend playlist!! I listen to it more than I’d like to admit .. but it’s pretty good! _(:3 」∠)_
Overall all I l think I like the idea of him because of what little I know of him.. he is a bit of a flake and SUCKS at following thru with plans .. he’s flaked more than once . I don’t know what that says about me but it says a lot about him. But he did give me compliments the other day.. bc I show him some pics of me before going to an event ..
Anyways I think if I were to ask him on a date.. I’d ask him if he wanted to go to an art museum.. and then get boba and go to a park and just sit in the grass ( and maybe have a picnic? Idk maybe I’m pushing it there lol) .. sounds like a cute date to me..
Ugh I’m embarrassed that I like him more than he likes me and maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree .. and it’s pathetic that I’m the one who Is so excited to talk to him..
Anyways I really hope we can at least hang out soon…
I think I’m just thinking so much but I’m just infatuated I guess
Maybe it’ll work out idk we will see one day if I ever get the guy lol
Oh! Idk what to nickname this guy🤔 maybe I’ll call him mhmmmm idk it’s up in the air I’ll figure it out later lol

Tagged by @ongreenergrasses, thank you!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Way over 300! Tho it feels like it's been at 300sth so long by now, it'll be weird to look at once it hits 400 :D
Btw, funny how this tag meme asks for so much stuff that can be looked up by just... looking at my Ao3... without asking for any commentary by me? Lol
Anyhow, rest under the readmore bc this is 20 questions and Long!
Personal post - do not reblog
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
995596 - just a few more ficlets or 1 longer fic, and I've got a Million! Hey, maybe I should try to write one with... 4404? (I'd need to ask a calculator xD) words exactly... not rly a hardship with how many drabble exercises (exact wordcounts, 100 is the most used, I also do 200, 500, longest was 10000 exactly lol) I've already done... we'll see!
Over 400k for this year alone, and over half of that is my actual writing (not translations etc), I'm so proud! Last year I only barely hit 200k and that included a lot of translating work
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?  
Again, one could look this up in my works filtered - sorted by kudos? But all three of my incubus!jaskier witcher series are in it, part 2 of the series is highest with 1091 kudos, then a Venom halloween oneshot, and 'Belonging', a fluffy snake-crowley piece from my ineffable spouses series (yes, sth with under 1k words - 666 to be exact - is in the top 5... my poor longfics lol)
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
...I try to? But atm I have 202 unanswered (and I always click 'mark read' on replies so these are all comments on my own fic) even tho I told myself I'd not let it get past 200, and now I'm doing a tag meme instead of replying to anything so ummmm
Edit: 203 unread now
But I do love love love all the comments I get! And while atm it's still semi-manageable, if it ever gets to the point where I really can't manage to reply to everyone cause it's too much, i'd rly take that as a compliment lol :D I'd still try to reply to the longer and/or more thought through comments tho :)
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
*thinks* I have an MCD fic? But not only is that very much a case of ~posting a draft version that's barely in complete sentences insgead of taking the time to turn it into a real longfic~, I also just killed off the mlm couple I only semi care about and left the wlw couple with a happy/hopeful (rly don't remember) ending, so... hm idk whether that counts for angsty ending
Apart from that... I dunno, I just prefer my babies to be happy and fluffy? *.* i remember a mirror milippa in the mirrorverse one where in the end Michael is worried about lying to Philippa about her identity... there are some angsty TOG and Gomens ones but I think they end happy-ish (my memory is. Bad. but looking through my 'angst' tag I just saw a lot of h/c and 'angst with a happy ending')
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
They're all happy???!?
7. Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Ahahahahahhahahaahaha
Check this out
I need you to know that all the works in that collection take part in the same universe (or rather, multiverse), and are alltogether just scratching the surface of my gigantic headcanon multiverse that I've been building in my mind since I was like 10
Actual crossovers other than that I don't remember writing
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yeh but I only remember clicking 'delete comment', as it should be
Recently I've just gotten a bunch of 'you Need to continue this' and 'omg why isn't there more' or 'this shouldn't end' type comments, not hate, probably not meant maliciously, but So Annoying (maybe espesh bc I don't want to just hit delete on these, but I also don't want to pretend it's fine, but I also don't have the energy for a fight, and trying to explain why that behaviour is entitled and annoying and that I write what I want to write and nice comments should praise what I actually have written, and hoping that they understand and don't get mad is... hard.)
9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Check out my rated E and rated M in my works
Mostly femslash lately, but I did also write other smut in the past
Most is a bit dominant/submissive play, but I do also like good fluffy smut with feelings! Best in combo, really :D
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not in the sense of pretending someone else wrote it (that i know of), but posted to other sites without my permission - writing 'don't repost to other sites' etc did Not help, they even copied those tags lol, so I just let it be, choosing my battles wisely etcetc, I'd prefer for my fic not to be cross-posted by others bc then I can't edit or otherwise influence the fic anymore and don't see everyone's reactions to it, but as long as it's not someone pretending they wrote it, I only semi care, not enough to fight it tbh
PSA: I Only post fics to Ao3 (and WIPs/prompt fills to tumblr&discord at times), if you see them somewhere else that's Not Me and you'd do me a favour by checking them out on ao3 and kudosing&commenting there instead :)
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yup, one to Russian a while back, a floreleine (Gunpowder Milkshake) one to Korean just today actually, and I translated a bunch to German myself
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I made a TOG fic together with @cinnamonplums, well mostly I wrote and she made the art :D
Trying to remember whether I ever actually co-wrote anything... don't think so?
13. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Don't make me choose!!!
Atm Milippa is OTP bc I'm busy writing them for @discoveryfemslashfortnight (this is not a post to reblog for the fortnight), but I'm also still rly into Floreleine, Bering&Wells and Andromaquynh and Andronilynh, and I read a lot of Mirandy lately
All-time favs I'm not rly active in atm but will always be dear to me are the ineffable spouses, clintcoulson, heistwives, gosh so many more I'll stop here tho xD
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
A Heistwives Kinda Job immediately comes to mind
I also rly want to finish at least one cohesive original-ish storyline for the lverse that I already linked for the crossover question above, but I just have so much backstory (it's been over 10 years!!!) and it's... hard...
And everything else that's still WIP and untouched for more than a few months will probably have the same fate lol
Also have a few that haven't even seen the light of day at all, most recent a Mirandy ~what if Andy had been pregnant when Miranda hired her and how would it change the entire storyline~ bit - I wrote it in bulletpoints in one go as quickly as I could, I know I had the finished product in my mind, I don't remember anything now and don't feel like going through the bulletpoints painstakenly filling in the blanks
15. What are your writing strengths?
Writing one-shots quickly in one go
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Forgetting everything about a fic if I leave it in a draft for a second too long
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
There are many ways to go about it, and I think they all work (depending on the fic and the length and relevance of the dialogue)
I tend to leave single sentences as is, and for longer and important sequences use cursive and 'they said in xylanguage'.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
The Hobbit apparently? I remember thinking that fic was so long lol, it's 3k
19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?
Kat/Ana from Reef Break, they have Such Shippable Chemistry, and it would totally fit Kat's player personality to bang both siblings (she's canonically friends with benefits with Ana's half-brother)... but the ship has one (1!) fic on Ao3 *cries*
20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
TOG Andromaquynh longfic In Your Stead has had the title since last year and probably for a while to come! I loved the story idea so much I really worked with several drafts and only! worked on that fic until it was finished so I wouldn't get distracted & forget about it, and the result was wonderful.
Tagging, if you want to do it, @sarah-fiers @purlturtle @cookie-sheet-toboggan @ussjellyfish @onaperduamedee @startrekgeorgiouery @rosalie-starfall @lonely-night @banashee @xvnot15 and everyone else who sees this
Questions to copy:
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?  4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? 5.

Day 30: Partners (MONSTA X: Chae Hyungwon)
this is horrible HAHAHAHA it's the second-to-the-last day of MTM and today's prompt is:
Day 30: Sports Setting
and i was going to make like an "i can do anything better than you" plot, but this is the most i can do with the time i had today. was super busy and this deformed baby is what was born. hayyyy idk, i was really looking forward to this prompt bc (1) the premise i made was really fun and (2) it's hyungwon HAHA but apparently my brain juices have run out
ALSO IF Y'ALL ARE WONDERING, the sport they're doing is dancesport aka competitive ballroom, which i also practice hihi i'm so predictable, trying to insert dancesport into every sports related thing lmao. it is 100% a sport and south korea is also a member of the world dancesport federation. it was so hard trying to describe the steps without being overly technical and using the actual names man, brain hurty
PAIRING: Chae Hyungwon x reader. GENRE: fic, fluff. WARNINGS: swearing. WORD COUNT: 1,470.
---
“Two—three—cha-cha-cha! Two—three—cha-cha-cha! One more—cha-cha-cha!” your coach chants, clapping in time to the beat as you and Hyungwon spin around the dance floor. You end with your right feet forward and in an open hold, your hands held lightly in his. The music stops and all that’s audible is your labored breathing.
“Oh my god, fuck,” Hyungwon says, letting go of your hands and doubling over to take in deep breaths. You drop your hands to your hips and walk around, trying to slow your heart rate before sitting down to grab water. “How long until the end of the combo?”
Your coach leans on the wall next to the sound system, leisurely scrolling through his phone. “Not long, just a few more steps,” he says. “Ten minute break and we’ll try the rumba. And let’s try to finish it today, shall we? So we can work on your jive on Wednesday.”
You waddle over to your bags and crouch down to grab your water bottle and squirt some much needed liquid in your mouth. You let out a satisfied sigh after swallowing, breathing out slow before standing back up and wiping your sweat with a towel.
Hyungwon does the same, leaning one hand on the mirrored wall as gulps down water. He rests one foot on its heel and turns it this way and that, flexing and pointing his toes to stretch the muscles; the other foot gets the same treatment.
You go up to the mirror, a little ways away from your partner, and lean your weight on both hands to practice your swivels. Left foot steps to the right and as you change weight, bring the right foot in and face to the left side; repeat starting from the right foot; repeat starting from the left foot.
It’s quiet in the studio as you mind you continue your swivels and Hyungwon reviews the choreography on the floor. For the nth time these past two weeks you wonder how you ended up with him as a partner. You still somehow can’t believe that there isn’t another guy available in the club to compete with you for the Lilian’s Cup this season—and you still somehow can’t believe that Hyungwon of all people offered to partner with you.
It’s not like he’s a bad club member—far from it, actually. He shows up for every club meeting, sure sometimes he’s late but he participates the whole time and even asks to stay behind to work on the choreography sometimes when it’s a particularly tricky variation. You just. Never really talk. He hangs out with the couple of friends he has in the club, and you stick to the club officers who you know from some of your classes.
There’s this tiny voice in the back of your head that’s nagging at you to just talk to him. Because in the five training sessions you’ve had this month, not once have you spoken to each other save for the cursory greetings before and after practice. It’s mostly you both talking to your coach and not acknowledging each other.
Which is really bad, given that you’re supposed to be partners and have chemistry, especially for a dance like the fucking rumba.
You sigh, closing out the couple of cucarachas you did to stretch out your hips and slide over to watch Hyungwon.
He’s just starting the second combo you’ve learned for the routine, the natural top. So you slide into the ballroom hold and do three sets of rumba walks forward in time, looking at anything but him, though you can imagine the surprised look on his face.
After the natural top, you slide into an opening out and prepare for the sliding doors step, when you see Hyungwon stop from the corner of your eye.
His arms are outstretched in the proper positions, his left hand still holding your right, but the rest of his body is stuck in an unflattering stance, eyes flitting about and brows furrowing in frustration. “What’s the next step again?”
“Sliding doors,” you say, and step forward. He steps back as you lean your weight on your forward foot and lift your connected hands up and over your head. You step slowly, allowing him to find his footing in the step, and after a moment of fumbling, you watch both of you in the mirror, properly meeting in the middle and splitting with every side step. After the second sliding doors step, you halt, coming to the end of the choreography so far. There’s still a ways to go, seeing as you’ve only been taught around sixteen bars.
Despite the rumba being a slow dance, you’re still somehow breathing heavily. You lament sometimes that the rumba is your favorite dance because the muscle control it requires is insane. The push and pull between slow and sharp movements gets you off kilter at some points, especially if those difficult turns have to be done without support from a partner. Therefore, communication is necessary to build a solid foundation of give-and-take.
Which means you really have to open your mouth and talk to Hyungwon sometime soon if you want to do well for the Lilian’s Cup.
You pivot to face him, the canvas soles of your heels helping your sharp turn. “Do you need help with the choreo?”
Hyungwon had been staring at the ceiling, no doubt running through the routine in his head once again, but looked down at you when you spoke. He shrugs, bites his lips and says, “Yeah.” He sighs, resting his hands lightly on his hips as he leans on one foot, the other tapping the floor in agitation. “I have a tough time memorizing choreo unless I make it, so…”
You blink. “You make routines?”
Another shrug, and he holds up a hand with the palm down and tilts it from side to side. “Eeehh, sometimes. I’m still learning, and it’s full of basic steps. Definitely not competition caliber yet, not even bronze.”
You purse your lips, nodding. “Still, though, that’s pretty impressive. I’ve been dancing for a while and I can’t create choreo yet.”
“Well,” Hyungwon says, bending his lanky body backwards to open up his chest. “The first step is always the most challenging, I’d say. Once you actually try, it’s easier to take the next steps.” He intertwines his fingers and raises them above his head, groaning from the strain.
You smile at that, and decide that maybe Hyungwon is a better conversation partner than you initially thought. “How about we set like, a day in the week to practice. Just us, you know. I can help you memorize the routines for Lilian’s and you can teach me the stuff you make.” You clear your throat, gaze stuck on your feet, pointing and flexing and looking for something to do. “You know. If you’re cool with it.”
Hyungwon hums. “Yeah, sure.” You look up to see him looking into space, finger tapping on his chin as he thinks. “Can we meet up in the afternoon, though? ‘M not much of an early riser.”
You chuckle. “‘Course. I hate mornings, too.” You wipe your sweaty forehead with your towel and let it hang over your head like a veil as you jog to your bag. You come back to Hyungwon’s side a moment later, holding your phone out. “I also just realized that I don’t have your number yet. It’ll make setting up a date way easier.”
“Mm, you’re right about that,” he says, slender fingers taking your phone and tapping on the screen before handing it back to you. His contact is saved as Dance Partner Hyungwon. “Just a warning tho, I might not reply sometimes because I forget to.”
You tap your phone against your palm and shrug. “S’all right. I’ll just ask one of your friends to pester you then, like Minhyuk. I know he’s pretty… persistent.”
Hyungwon scoffs, but he has a fond smile on his face. “Yeah, that’d do the trick. I’ve known him for years, he won’t shut up unless I humor him.”
You’re about to reply when two loud claps echo through the room. “Okay, you two, break’s over,” your coach calls. “Starting positions please, and let’s finish up this routine today so we can just keep polishing.”
After dumping your towel and phone on your bag and sliding your hand into Hyungwon’s as you get into position, you whisper to him. “I’ll text you later about that after-practice practice.” As the sultry music starts, you have a thought. “And don’t you dare pretend you don’t know me when I finally message you, Chae Hyungwon.”
He bites his lips and looks over your shoulder, fighting a laugh. “Fine, fine,” he says, and composes himself, just in time for your cue to take the first step.

Protect You Chapter IV
Oh my god I did it. I wrote a thing for this thing!! You guys are def getting other writing things from me this week but idk what it'll be bc apparently my brain is god and works in mysterious ways (is that offensive?)
Significant lack of Cardan today and I apologize for that but he will deffo be in the next part (if you've read the end of this then you know)
Chapter IV; Some Attempted Breaking and Entering ft. Nicasia being Nicasia and I hate her :)
“Ow,” I deadpanned.
Oriana looked up at me, mouth pinched at the edges, “Jude.” She had the way of saying my name (always has) that perfectly conveyed her distaste at my existence and scolding me for whatever I had done.
We were in Vivi and I’s apartment, Oriana had me propped on the counter while she adjusted my sling and bandages. Every time she saw the injury she grimaced in disgust, which meant that was her only current expression.
“When Vivi does this it’s much quicker,” I muttered, crossing my ankles and swinging my legs against the counter.
“Well, Vivi has had weeks of doing this for you.” Oriana pulled the bandage tighter and my ‘ow’ wasn’t deadpan anymore.
I didn’t think she was going to speak again but she did, “Training,” She scoffed. “I can’t believe you injured yourself so severely.” She looked up at me, “But at least it wasn’t a gunshot wound. At least your life isn’t as dangerous as that.”
“Yeah,” I agreed. Lying always has been my specialty.
Oriana pressed her lower body into my legs to keep me still against the counter. “Stop banging, you’re going to dent or chip it.”
I rolled my eyes and her grip tightened on my arm before she released me entirely.
“All done.”
I rolled my shoulder as best I could, “Great.”
Oriana stepped back and I hopped off the counter. Grabbing my jacket and slinging it over my available shoulder I called back to Oriana, “I’m going to work, Dain needs me.”
I was two steps from the front door when Oriana caught me by the shoulder. “Tayrn’s engagement party is tomorrow night,” She said it like I hadn’t been thinking about it since it was announced.
“Don’t worry,” I grinned at her, “I’ll be there to make everyone’s life hell.”
~~~~~~~~
“Jude,” Lilliver waved her hand in front of my face. “You’re spacing. Everything good?”
“What? Oh, yeah. It’s just…”
“The party.” Garrett said, matter of factly.
I gave him a look. “Yeah, I guess so.”
“Well lucky for you, you’ll be spending the whole time on a job,” Garrett said. Van and Lilliver winced.
“What?” I asked, meeting Garrett’s eyes. He didn’t flinch away from the harsh edge to my voice, the undoubtedly even harsher look in my eyes.
“Dain wanted us to tell you,” Van said, raising his voice as the music caught a crescendo.
We were in some day club that was clearly only for rich people. Sitting at a table tucked in a dark corner, watching as Dain mingled amongst the crowd. Shadows in the shadows, I mused. Weirdly appropriate.
I wasn’t sure who it was, but someone had rented the place and filled it with the highly respected, feared, higher-ups. Dain had heard about the event and invited himself, using the situation to make connections, and further the ones he already had.
He’d dragged us with him, of course. It was 11 at night, I was supposed to be curled on the couch with Vivi, eating ice cream out of the tub and watching Criminal Minds or beating up the punching bag in my room until my knuckles had split, even through the bandages and I couldn’t feel my arms. It depended on my mood.
But Lilliver had called me, said Dain needed his shadows, and that Garrett was waiting outside my apartment building. He had been. I have no idea how he got my address, but I’d refused to let him be my ride. He was too unpredictable, I couldn’t give him that blind faith. So I’d yelled to Vivi that my bike was out of gas and I needed hers and I’d pay her back for the miles, took her keys, and trailed behind Garrett’s car. And now, here we were.
I was nursing a glass of whiskey, mostly to calm my nerves as I followed Dain with my eyes, watching everyone who got too close to him.
“You don’t think anybody would try anything?” I’d asked when I got here, sliding in next to Lilliver in the booth.
“Someone’s done it before.” Van had muttered grimly.
I arched a brow, “What happened to them?”
Van just looked at Garrett, who was eyeing everyone and everything like they all had guns and were about to start shooting people.
I got the message and hadn’t inquired further.
“What does he want me to do?” I asked now.
“Locke’s a friend of Cardan’s.”
“I’m aware.”
Garrett rolled his eyes and I glared at him.
Resting my forearms on the table and leaning forward until I was closer to Van I said, “But Dain isn’t worried about Cardan taking the power, is he?”
“No.”
“But,” Lilliver cut in. “Locke has been seen with Madoc and Balekin. Being with Madoc isn’t that weird-”
“Yes, it is.” I interrupted.
“But Locke is going to be Madoc’s son-in-law. How is that weird?” Garrett asked, tearing his gaze from Dain.
“Madoc hates Locke, he isn’t very happy about Taryn marrying him.”
“For what he did to you?” Van asked.
I snorted, “You’re overestimating him. Nah, he just thinks Locke is a stuck-up prick who doesn’t deserve everything he has.”
“Fair,” Lilliver murmured and I nodded my agreement.
“But Balekin?”
I shook my head, “You don’t know Madoc like I do. If he’s talking to Balekin and it’s not about just security stuff? It can’t be good. Throw Locke into the equation and anything could happen.”
“Great,” Van drawled with an exasperated eye roll.
“So, Jude,” Lilliver asked after a moment of silence. “You have a good outfit, right?”
~~~ A few hours later, I was sitting on my couch, crossing and uncrossing my legs, waiting for Vivi to be finished getting ready.
“Viv!” I yelled.
“Patience is a virtue!” She screeched back from the bathroom.
“Anybody that has time for patience is wasting their life,” I muttered to myself, trying to relax back into the couch unsuccessfully.
I was too stiff all over, shoulders tight, leg muscles straining as I dug the soles of my heels into the carpet as if trying to keep myself on the ground. I curled my fingers into the plush cushion of the couch.
I was wearing a gold dress and matching heels, a small handgun strapped to one thigh, a knife on the other. The slits up the legs of my dress would allow me to retrieve them but kept them hidden enough from prying eyes.
Vivi was taking too long. I rose slowly from my place on the couch and walked to the bathroom. Some Taylor Swift was playing from the Bluetooth speaker perched precariously on the windowsill and Vivi swayed to the beat, slivers of dying sunlight curling in through the window to wind around her gold curls. She was touching up her mascara so she didn’t look at me when I entered.
“I know I’m taking forever, but you should be thanking me for not making you go too early.” I rolled my eyes and leaned against the doorway, not saying anything in response.
Suddenly Taylor’s voice cut off as Vivi’s phone rang. “Can you get that?” She asked me, but I was already reaching for it. I had to twist my arm half under her upper body to get to the other side of the countertop but I eventually reached it and glanced at the caller ID.
“Heather,” I said.
Vivi looked away from the mirror to blink at me and I took that as my cue to answer.
“Hey, Heather,” I said.
“Jude?”
“Yeah. Vivi’s busy being narcissistic so you get to talk to me instead.”
Heather’s laugh sounded like a fairy. “That’s alright, you’re not bad to talk to.”
“Thanks for lying to me,” I replied, leaning against the doorway again. “Is everything okay?”
“Oh, yeah. I just knew the engagement party was soon and figured I’d talk to Vi now before she gets too drunk to do anything.” I snorted, “That’s a very fair assessment. We would’ve been at the party already but Vivi is taking forever.” The last word was louder and Vivi stuck her middle finger up at me without even turning to face me.
Vivi finally set down the mascara wand and turned to me with her hands on her hips before making a toddler-esque grabbing motion.
“Well Vivi’s finally done getting ready, but she wants to talk to you.”
Heather snorted, “Nice. Well, have fun at the party, Jude.”
It was my turn to snort.
Heather’s voice got softer, “It’ll all be fine. You don’t have to stay for very long, and maybe you can find something to distract yourself with.” Oh, I have something to do, alright.
“Thanks,” I muttered before handing Vivi the phone. “Hey, baby,” Vivi said immediately and I shook my head. She stuck her tongue out at me before turning away and I took that as my cue to leave the bathroom.
~~~~
I was physically unable to stay still.
Vivi and I didn’t own a real car, so we’d called an Uber, and sitting in the backseat, I was doing everything but stay still. Vivi kept side-eyeing me when she glanced away from her phone, but she hadn’t said anything.
I was bouncing my leg, tapping a rhythm on the door of the car, the seatbelt, the seat below me, my arms.
Vivi paused in her texting, probably to Heather, to clamp a hand on my knee. It didn’t do much to actually stop my movements but it got me to look at her. “Why are you so nervous?”
“I’m not,” I said stiffly and turned away.
Vivi sighed and took her hand off my knee. “You can talk to me, Jude.” She whispered.
I didn’t respond.
~~~
Locke lived in a mansion. I’d been there before but it was still impressive. What took away a bit of that was that I knew he hadn’t worked for it. He was just a rich kid, born and raised. Like all the others that had looked down on me my entire life.
He fit in with Cardan.
Vivi thanked our Uber driver as we stepped out of the car onto the winding stone pathway leading up to the front door.
As the car sped off Vivi linked her arm through mine and yanked me forward to start walking to the door.
“Stop looking at the house like it murdered your cat,” Vivi muttered, her arm tightening briefly around mine.
I tried to school my scowl into something more neutral. It wasn’t easy.
“We’re here for Taryn,” Vivi continued, “You might not even have to see him, or them together at all.”
I nodded mechanically as my eyes drifted to the window on the second floor that I knew belonged to Locke’s bedroom. Would he keep his secrets locked in there? Taryn could get in there, so maybe not, but it was worth a shot.
Some servants pushed open the door to let us inside and Vivi and I froze in the doorway. It looked like some kind of fancy 1800s ball, but with smaller dresses.
“Is that Elowyn?” Vivi whispered. I followed her gaze. It was, indeed, Elowyn Greenbriar in all her glory, perched near a huge window as if preparing to leap out and make a run for it soon. She was eyeing everyone with that look of judgment that seemed to be a Greenbriar birthright, looking more expensive than Locke’s mansion itself.
“I didn’t think she and Locke were that close.”
“It’s not just her,” I realized, as my eyes fell on Cealia, who was worming her way through the crowd of people to reach her sister.
But Vivi had noticed something else. “Nicasia’s here,” She hissed. “And she’s headed this way.”
Vivi and I’s arms were still linked so I tugged lightly and dragged us deeper into the house and crowd of people, effectively disappearing from Nicasia’s line of sight.
I wasn’t ready to deal with her quite yet.
I breathed deeply through my nose and snatched a glass of champagne off a tray nearby, scanning the room.
How could I slip away and snoop without being detected?
“Hey, Jude.” I tightened my grip on my flute of champagne and turned to face Nicasia. Her expression wasn’t pleasant, so I didn’t bother trying to act pleased to see her, either.
“Nicasia,” God. Why did she have to be so pretty, a long, flowing dress that was so many different shades of blue, I couldn’t even count them. It looked like it was tailored to fit her-it probably was, actually. It rippled as she moved, like ocean waves on the shore. Her hair was loose for the most part, aside from a few intricate braids woven in that she had curled around a single finger.
She plucked the champagne from my hand and sipped leisurely. It made my blood boil.
“I figured you’re one of the few people who hates being here as much as I do.”
I grudgingly nodded and her answering grin was sharp.
“Why are the Greenbriars here?” I blurted before I could think better of it.
Nicasia blinked at me before responding. “Because they’re Greenbriars. They do whatever they want when they want.”
It wasn’t a real answer and I had a feeling that she wasn’t just being difficult; she didn’t know, and hated that she didn’t know.
Well, Nicasia and I had something in common.
“Are they all here?” I asked.
She shook her head, “Balekin was here for a total of fifteen minutes before he vanished somewhere,” She gestured vaguely, lips turned down in disgust. “I haven’t seen Dain anywhere, but the girls are here. And Cardan,” She added, pretending like it was an afterthought.
My gaze automatically shot into the crowd, taking note of every face. But none of them were Cardan.
“Do you love Locke?” She asked scornfully.
“Do you?” I shot back, like we were third graders.
She rolled her eyes, “I’d rather crawl naked over glass.”
“Then you have my answer.”
She just looked at me for a beat
Nicasia drained the glass and thrust it back into my hand. She gave me a final judging once over before strutting off in the other direction.
~~~~~~ The next half hour was nothing but mingling; I had to make it clear I was here, that I supported this. After Nicasia had left me alone, I gritted my teeth and dove into the cage of hungry sharks.
I slipped back into the darkness, listened to aristocrats talk to each other, pretending they were all above each other and felt the weight of the gun shifting under my dress; the cold metal pulsed like it was branding me.
I pretended I was one of them; the lies felt warm and comforting on my tongue, honey on a warm summer afternoon.
The realization hit me like a truck: I couldn't entirely blame this on the Shadows' crash course training these past few weeks. I had always had the capacity for this; lying and manipulating and scheming came as effortlessly to me as breathing. I had been born for this. The thought should've been terrifying, but it settled beneath my heart, caged in my ribs with a comforting weight that couldn't be ignored.
“Excuse me,” I murmured and slipped away from the group I’d been attempting to charm.
Balekin hadn’t resurfaced and I wasn’t stupid enough to think he’d left the party entirely so as I slid along the walls of the second floor of Locke’s mansion, I kept my ears and eyes tuned to catch any and all movements.
Locke’s office.
Yes!
I glanced around, feeling like I was in some kind of cliche mafia movie before attempting to turn the door handle. Locked. Okay. Not great. I could work with it though.
Being Madoc’s daughter and Vivienne Duarte’s sister gave me access to an arsenal of weird abilities to use in a pinch.
I reached up to my hair before remembering I didn’t pull it up, so I turned my attention to my clutch, hoping there was a bobby pin or paper clip or something in there.
I’d let my guard down.
I heard his uneven steps coming towards me too late.
“My sweet nemesis,” Cardan slurred. “What do you think you’re doing?” ~~~

*slides into your asks with a rose in my mouth* why hello, tis me!
Apologies for the long wait but your favorite long asks anon is here and OOF so much has happened. Let us break it down one by one lol
Monsta x our beans, welp we can officially say we are army wives for them because shownu is now at the military and just welp this feels weird lol. I lowkey forgot he was meant to enlist so when the news came out I went through so many emotions. Its why the latest comeback feels a bit bittersweet to me. It is their BEST for sure and for this year, I agree so to not see him perform right before he left is a bit sad. I don't blame him of course (if anyone does i am fish slapping you) but just a shame. I'm happy we do get content with him still? Seems pre-planned so that is nice!
Onto legends exo, fantastic comeback. I cannot stop listening to the album, its just bops full of bops to me. They broke so many records and I'm over here sipping my tea because fudge yes. It isn't a full member comeback, 2 of the members featured in the comeback are off playing call of duty and they still did THAT. While having lay properly in the comeback!? (Or at least some form, better than tempo era!) Kyungsoo my beloved, the man that can swoon you off your feet, his proper solo album. Omg I am just in love? The album feels like a Playlist that you hear while taking a walk or on a raodtrip? I love it, I just love everything about this with how much thought was given. It makes me feel warm and I'm so proud of him (I think he even got a first win) but sadly xiumin got the it shall not be named virus D: I feel so bad and I can only hope he gets better! It makes me worried because I keep seeing more and more idols getting sick and I can't help but wonder why don't the kpop entertainment just put a pause with stuff? Of course that is VERY unrealistic, I am aware that is naive for me to think but its just so idk how to word it properly (my English brain is not working I am sorry) I cannot help the feeling of while I get people are being safe and yes we need to still live like normal beings, is it worth risking idols health just for some entertainment? Idk how to explain my thoughts properly but maybe I hope I made sense!!
Onto svt! That is perfectly fine to not vibe with a comeback! I will admit, I didn't fully vibe with this comeback and it shocked me because every comeback was a hit to me. Even fear, left and right or homerun where I know many fans were split on, I liked but RTL was a grower. For me, listening to it without watching the mv, helped it alot and it is a song I like. Is it their best? No I don't think so but it is alright to say "hey I didn't bop to this, not my cup of tea" (imo I blame the mv? The mv REALLY didn't do the song justice at all, I am sorry if I sound like a fake fan but this mv Just is bad in all aspects. Sure we have some pretty shots but like it just doesn't fit at all?) So if anything listening to the song or wishing the live performances does it better. Seeing the choreography amps the song up more, cannot go wrong with their dancing. As for the rest of the songs, I admit game boy is my top favorite? Idk if it is because I am a gaming nerd and found all the production of the song so creative but yeah. We can wait for the next comeback! Svt always have something up their sleeves, plus we do have their music projects to look forward too (I wonder when we will get one? Seeing as RTL promotions stopped) some positive news with the boys is they resigned like a year before their contract ends and I'm a bit emotional :') I'm excited to see the boys future projects. We did have caratland recently! Did you watch it if I may ask? We did get in the soop confirmation so I'm excited to watch that, the boys deserve that nice break (even if it was filmed for a show fjsbsns)
Ok I think that is it for kpop updates? XD I do hope life has been treating you kindly! Life has been a bit all over the place sadly so I hope it wasn't like that for you as well! Until next time my bean!
hii!!!! omg sorry for the late reply i've been pretty busy these days 🙈
indeed so much has happened! and much more since you sent this ask omg!!
our shownu is at war *looks into the distance* *wipes away tear* *sighs* by now I got used to enlistment news (see what happens when you stan 2nd and 3rd gen groups) but STILL [[IT HURT]] when they uploaded the monchannel videos of his goodbye day like ????? what kind of twisted mind diuhdfuihdifuhs but the boys were all so cute and soft but they seemed so sad they didn't want to let go of their super leader :(( I hope he's learning lots and making new friends (and also we've got our international super spy yoo kihyun giving us small updates on him every now and then so everything's fine!). Yeah I totally get you it felt empty without him this comeback and at first it didn't really clicked with me but when the enlistment news came out i understood he had to take care of his health and thoroughly check on his eye sight in order to be 100% ready for the military so it made sense he had to be absent :( everything was so close (the comeback and enlistment) that I'm sure there was no other way for doing it I'm pretty sure he couldn't maybe postpone the enlistment day any further
onto exo! my ksoo my soft boi my romantic boi 🥺 his album is so him SO HIM i can't explain it bur it's just HIM you know it's the type of album you'd play on loop on a summer afternoon when you've taken your papers and paints outside in the garden to paint a bit with the warm soft breeze moving the trees lightly 🤧 and he signs in English and SPANISH (he did it for me) my multilingual king he's a native. Also I've been watching Honeymoon Tavern with Jongin these days and OMG i could d word for him really (if you haven's watched it go do it when you have time) he's SO SOFT and SO CUTE and he works as a waiter and a wedding planner and helps with the room preparations and is also a tour guide and he's just so cute so happy al the time the way he interacts with everyone is so 🥺🤧😭 onto more serious stuff now: yeah i was so worried about minseok catching covid omg but i'm glad he went through it with our any major complication and the rest of the boys are safe too! I guess the industry doesn't stop bc that would mean a huge loss of thousands and thousands of dollars/won/etc so as long as the gov doesn't prohibit going out or gathering like at the beginning of the pandemic, they'll keep on going with the idols' schedules otherwise the industry would just shut down having no way of earning money to sustain all the companies and idols.
as for seventeen! yeah i like the songs too! the mv sure ruined rtl and listening to it without watching it has really helped it grow on me more but still it feels kind of meh to me idk i really like anyone i think it's my favourite from the album. AND NOW WE'VE GOT A COMEBACK IN OCTOBER!!!! yayyyyy i can't wait they seem to be preparing very diligently (i hope they release a sexy bop) it's a shame junhao aren't gonna be present for this comeback but i'm soooooo happy they have the opportunity to visit their families again omg they have spent 2 whole years without seeing them in the flesh they must be so happy to get back to them again!!! it's so funny seeing them be bored at the quarantine hotel and doing lives every day duhdfiudhfiuh i hope it passes quickly and they can see their loved ones finally! and I did watch Caratland!! omg the unit switch song was the best thing ever hhu doing lilili yabbay and not being able to stop laughing idfuhdifuhs perf team doing chocolate and owning it????? hello??? performance team more like main vocal team wow! and the vocal team being a complete mess during check in lmaooo i loved it! In The Soop has finally started!!! I love these kind of "normal life" concepts I love seeing the boys being themselves cooking and relaxing I've watched the first and second eps as of today and also few clips from the third and omg mingyu and jeonghan drowning in the pond dfuhidfhidfs lmao they're so dumb i love them 🤣 i'm glad they could go away for a few days and spend time together away from their hectic schedules!
I hope you're well now and if not hang in there it'll all pass soon enough! 🥰💕 bye bye!!
p.s.: I got your request for the svt this or that gifset and i promise i’ll do it one day i just don’t feel like giffing these days dhbduusi i’m out of energy

Hello half valid anon here (i like my nickname 😂). I got through all your fics and they were all great. Right now im just reading a lot of poi fanfics and watch fanvids cause i can't accept that the series is over 😂 --- i know what you mean about fics affecting you negatively. I had this with 13rw (the Show and some fics) everything was so dark and hopeless that i had to stop watching it. I also love to seek out fics where someone is hurt so i can feel my pain through the characters (1)
But i try to read only fics with lots of comfort so it kinda feels like i get comforted as well (dont know if that makes sense). If it makes you uncomfortable or if its unhealthy for you to write about this i completely understand and i dont mean to come of as pushing you to write. I just hope whatever you do will be the right decision for you! As for you feeling suicidal im sorry to hear that. Let me know if there is ever anything i can do to help! I wish i could say sth more comforting but Im not super good with words :( i just hope you have people in your life that support you! 💛
maybe root will grow on you too? Or maybe you can skip her scenes and enjoy John, Harold and most importanly Bear! 😂 Yeah Shaw definately looks really good. She is a bit like Reese minus the caring. At first it seems she doesnt care about anything at all but thats not exactly the Case. There was an episode with Shaw and a little girl (3x5) and i really loved it (have you seen that one?).
I really think Shaw would grow on you (especially since in the beginning she does a lot with John) but then again a lot of her later scenes include Root so im not sure. Yes i love that there were never any romantic undertones with her and John!!
yeah the core four were great. I was so sad when Carter died! :(
i guess everyone sees chemistry different, i think Shoot and Rinch post have great chemistry ☺️
as for John being good with people: YES!! he is always so compassionate and such a great listener as well. I especially like him with children. John and the baby were so cute or John with the boy who offered to pay for him. John + Kids was always a great combination and i wished we would have seen it more often. Also regarding children we did we never got to see a John Taylor scene after Carters death? I needed that!
yes John the badass is also amazing! His character has so many different sides and i love him so much!!
i think Grace Harold was really cute but i dont really see a future for them, i mean he lied to her for so long! but then again they really loved each other so idk maybe they work it out. Im also not into John/Harold/Grace but like you said good for the people who like the ship :)
John and Zoe were great! i wish Zoe would have appeared more often!
I have so many things to say about John and the boring therapist but i think i better not say them :D i wish i could just erase their relationship from my mind!
of course he didnt die! i didnt see a dead body so i refuse to believe he is dead! i also just wanted them to be happy. what kind of an ending is it to let the main character die? i refuse to accept this! -- thank you for the rec i will check it out :) while i do like fluff i mostly read h/c (with the focus on the comfort) cause i just want John to get his much needed comfort :D -- i have no idea where season 1 is supposed to be boring. but idc the people can live with their wrong opinions :D
(today: tumblr user nourann3 discovers the option to indent text after almost 5 years on tumblr...)
Hiii !! It is a very valid nickname 😂 That's nice !! Hmu if you want more recs ! Lol same honestly, I can't believe it's been 4 years since the show ended ! I can give you a link to my poi/Rinch fanvids playlist if you're interested 👀
Oh boi 13rw is so cursed, can't believe I watched all of the 1st season 😬 I remember being afraid of the suicide scene making me uncomfortable but it was so cringe, unrealistic and just bad that I wasn't even that uncomfortable, I cringed when she cut her arms but that's it.
Yeah big mood I project a lot on comfort fics as well. For suicide fics, I think it also depends on how the fics adress the subject. It's something that is complicated to write. If I read a suicide fic with no recovery I'm gonna project but feel like shit. But with recovery, I can project into the recovery as well so it's better ! I read a really good ace attorney fic showing Miles recovering after a suicide attempt, it was thoughtful and didn't fall into the pitfalls of magical super fast recovery/love heals everything, and some lines stuck with me, it was really good and comforting. But yeah if it's just a suicide/suicide attempt then I don't think it's good for me (but sometimes I still read it bc I'm a Dumb Bitch).
Dw you didn't come off as pushing 💜 I'll see how I feel about continuing it or not. I have to figure out if writing about suicide is positive or negative for me 🤔 I mean I'm not portraying John's suicidal crisis as a positive thing, and he reaches out to Harold, and considers he might get better so I don't think it's bad for me ? Another problem is that I have a tendency to drop my wips to write a new shiny idea I get, and then I never finish anything gkgkffjfjf I dropped the suicide fic for the body horror fic which I dropped for the time loop fic, and there's also the hanahaki fic I started last year but I haven't touched in months, plus a bunch of random shit floating around OneDrive lmao someone stop me
What helps the most is venting, just getting that shit out is helping y'know. I appreciate your support ♥️ at least it's not as bad as it used to be
I doubt Root will grow on me, catch me watching her scenes at 1.5 speed lmao, also yes you bet I'll enjoy watching them !!
Yes I remember that ep ! Iirc the little girl tells Shaw she has feelings but the volume is lower than in other people or smth along those lines ?
I hope she'll grow on me bc she seems cool. I remember I was a bit afraid of her just becoming a sort of hollow copy of John, like "look we added another badass to the show". Seems to be more than that though ! Also I'm curious about their mayhem twins dynamic. But yeah if she has a lot of scenes with Root idk how much it'll annoy me
I feel like I wouldn't be able to get the Shoot chemistry bc I'm too biased against Root lol
Ikr the crossing hurt me so much. But thinking about it takes me back to my careese days and my first fics lol. I feel like the death of one of the core four + the abandonment of the library really alienated me from the show (did I already say that before ?). And here I'm gonna shamelessly derail from Carter to the library bc boiii do I have a lot of feelings about the library !! And you're here, talking about poi, so you're the perfect subject to throw these feelings at. This post really says what I feel about it (I'll put the link at the end as well if you wanna read it after you're done with this l o n g reply). It was in a way its own character and its forced abandonment/destruction really hit me (fucked me up when they broke that glass board). It says something that it's one of the few things I remember from S3 along with Carter's death and 4C. I loved it a lot, it was a cornerstone of the show. It was a safe place, a home for Harold and John (and Bear !). I love when they're together in there, I love this cracked glass board, this yellow stained glass in the windows !!! (at least I assume it's stained glass ?), these lights, Bear's cushion, the whole cozy/safe/isolated feelings, just absolutely everything. And yeah later they have the subway, idk when it's introduced I don't remember if it's early enough for me to have watched it. And maybe it's nice, I can't judge rn. But it's like trying to give me a new MC after a MCD, make him as nice as you want I'll be clutching the previous MC until I die. Gkfkfkff I went overboard and off topic but I just love the library ok
Ikr I love how he's badass but also gentle and understanding and nice to people ! I love him !!! Yeah wolf and cub is really good, also I love when John smiles to Darren at the end !! I use this moment as my pfp bc I love it so much. He's just so cute ! I wish he smiled more (did we ever hear him laugh in the entirety of the show ?). Baby blue is so great, Harold and him are such a married couple in this ep ! Yeah same more content with John and children would have been nice.
I never thought about how much we needed a John Taylor scene but yes !! We were robbed :((((
Speaking of John being a cool badass. Here's a badass John vid rec it's super good
youtube
Yeah they were cute in the past. I think it's good he went back to her bc it gives closure to both of them. But I don't see their relationship working again. She grieved, probably started to move on after all these years and knowing he lied all this time probably won't make her want to go back with him. I've never been in love so what do I know lol, but were I her I probably wouldn't want to go back with him and I'd just be happy knowing he's alive after all.
Same I need more Zoe (also she's hot)
Lmao let's just forget about that weird relationship shall we
Aren't we all the same, firmly believing he's alive and happy out there ! It was foreshadowed since the first ep and it made sense but do I care ? No, fuck that shit John is very much alive
You're welcome ! John needs all the comfort and the love !!! I think I have a preference for fluff bc he gets hurt enough in the show lol
Indeed they can, veryyy far away from us
Sry if this is shit I have like half a functioning braincell today
The post abt home bases I mentioned

Conflict post that got too long and title doesn’t match the rest because I didn’t plan to write so much
Please be honest: Do you think Conflict is an angsty fanfiction?
Despite the amount of sadness, suicidal tendencies, ptsd, panic attacks and even implied incest; I can’t bring to think that Conflict is angst. It’s just the story of two flawed boys falling in love in their most vulnerable moments and learning how to know themselves as they get to know each other.
It might be because I know the whole story, though, unlike the readers who know the first arc only. I mean... it’s perfectly fine however you interprwt their story. It’s not like I’m mad. I’m just surprised when I see things like “this is so sad!” I mean, yes, Ray is not going through best time of his life, but I think it is honorable. It’s honorable that he is trying his best, despite the depression blowing his mind. It’s honorable that Norman is trying to be a little honest with himself despite the chaos he is living in. It’s honorable that Emma sticks with Ray through thick and thin. It’s just characters trying their best, I don’t think it should be needlessly tagged as “angst” because I don’t think I write them that way for the sole reason of sadness. Rather, there is something I want to tell— something I want all of my readers to see.
But I can’t blame anyone since I haven’t written 3/4 of the fanfic yet. I haven’t shown you even a bit of the path I’ve already decided and mentally written for Conflict. I actually wanted to write Conflict tonight, but due to personal reasons I’m not feeling my best and despite my efforts to write Shotgun, I couldn’t write shit, and it won’t be good for my mental health to be in fiction today. Today I need my science and my facts (I say today but it’s 2.40 am and maybe I should sleep).
So, basically, I want to just SHOW by writing instead of giving leaks and stuff, but...
But...
You have no idea how much braining it takes to write Conflict.
Sure, I’m not a professional writer and there may be many better, smarter stories out there, but to me, personally, I put my best into Conflict. I give it all I have. I give it all my experience and everything I’ve learned until age of 21. It is a very condensed, artistic way of me talking about my life and experiences and observations throughout a fictional universe where it is not directly my life, but a world I try to represent in balance. So— to me, ever since I started writing first chapter I treated Conflict like my first book, I mean, sure it is a fanfiction but I thought “I’d give it a try as a hobby and if it goes well— if i can stick to it determined and if I get nice feedback and if people like it, this will give me strength to write a real book!” and BOY I got SOOO MUCH MORE THAN I’D EVER EXPECT, I even got FANARTS and people messaging me or commenting how much they personally relate or how much the fic helped them to go through bad days or how much they’ve seen themselves in Ray or Norman’s situations, and when I read those messages I can’t help but think all of you deserve to see the way Conflict builds up. You deserve to see how many times Ray and Norman are challenged, by themselves, by each other, and by society, and you deserve to see how they respond to them, and you deserve to see how much and how little of a difference it can make to have two people really love each other. Anyway, I went off topic, I was saying that, to me Conflict is a story I’m giving all I have got as the person I am today.
Other fanfictions of mine are moreee easy to write because they don’t have sovmuch in depth characters or complex plots and they are just that, fanfictions, in which I write a ship. But Conflict, man, I treat it like my real novel— which is technically one to me, though a non-profit one dedicated to the manga that really challenged me, and I have no regrets writing it or making it a fanfic. Anyway! Thing is, given the fact that Conflict is heavy, content and chapter length wise, I can’t always get to write it. I could, if this was summer, but this is collehe time and even though I really want to get going, sometimes I need to save Conflict for another time when I’m more available. Me publishing easy to write things like Shotgun doesn’t mean I’m available for conflict. The mental energy they take is A LOT different.
But it’s not in a bad-different way! I love both my fics! I have no regret over time and dedication I have for Conflict! I just, don’t have the time for it all the time, which can’t be helped.
It’s 2.49 am now. I really want to write conflict. First draft of chapter 16 was written two months ago. The scene is completed as a draft. But that scene includes a terrible pstd & panic attack about Ray and I just... /sighs/ don’t really wanna get in mood for something so gloomy? I wanna write more cute stuff like their awkward date on Shotgun... but I really want to keep Conflict going. I guess I’m terrified that given how fragile my mental health is right now, the content of Conflict might make it worse. I’d still proud to have finished a chapter. But thinking about writing about Leslie’s loss and its effects on Ray makes me shiver, because that’s a topic I’m sensitive of and although I almost never get affected emotionally from the ficsbI write (for example, I dont cry writing sad smiles neither do I smile a lot at soft scenes, I’m usually neutral and I simply enjoy act of writing itself) but the 1% chance that Conflict’s content might fuck with my mental health.. as if one last trigger before a breakdown, makes me want to stay a few steps back from Conflict and just breathe.
But I also somehow feel like I’m really available to write Conflict. I don’t know. Why do I care so much about Conflict, you may ask, since it’s just a fanfiction.
I think that’s because Conflict is the first real thing I’ve done (along with many other achievements that exactly started on the same day, July 1) after I got out of depression. It proves me that I can create something— get it visualized— and having people respond to it makes me feel connected to world. Remember the scene I wrote about Ray’s detachment to Emma’s calls? I’ve never gotten physically unresponsive like that, but there were times depression made me detached and to me that’s the scariest part... feeling detached. I feel as if I don’t post a fic for too long (assuming I’m in mood to write), or if I don’t go out/go to school/go to gym for too long, if I don’t meet up my friends or reply back to my texts for too long, I may get detached. If I get detached, I’ll think of dark, terrible stuff. If I don’t return world easily, it may easily slide into a depressed day. Or two days. Before I get back. And those one or two days are scariest because I’ve lived a YEAR worth of them, continiously, and god forbid me or anyone experiencing that. It was terroble.
So when I don’t write even when I want to, I feel as if I might get depressed. Not emotionally. But rationally— be being unable to do things I want to do EVEN WHEN I HAVE TIME AND SOURCES AVAILABLE FOR THEM would build depression up. I sm not saying right sway. Anyway. That’s why I care about Conflict. That’s why I’m staying dedicated. Dedication prevents detachment. When I’m not detached, and thankfully having readers interacting to me, I feel— or prove— that my work is reaching someone. I exist. My ideas mean something. Even if it’s just fan base, ie friends— I consider y’all friends— I mean, we are still kids, right? Most of us are 16-25 and that ain’t even real adult to me, we are just friends befriending each ofher oe so I believe, so like, even if its just with friends it means a thing. It prevents detachment. When I’m not detached I’m motivated. When I’m motivated I want to live. When I want to live I go out and do things. When I go out and do things I get motivated again. When I’m motivated again I write again. When I write I’m not detached. The cycle continues, see? Of coursw, writing is just ONE way to prevent detachment. It itself can’t carry all burden. Same goes for me regularly going to classes, going to gym, meeting up or calling my friends, etc. I’ve learnt that the more places you put a bit of yourself in, less likely you are from detachment. And that’s good. Idk, that’s why comments are important to me. It’s too personal at this point but they really, really, really help me to stay in connect.
So I want to write, so I can be happy, and I can interact, and look at my published chapter, so I can be further motivated to do things tomorrow... but it’s now 3 am and, I, if I start now I won’t be done earlier than 4.30 am and it’ll be cold and I’ll be brain dead, so for my sake, it’s better if I sleep. Msybe studying a bit before sleep will prevent detachment as well. I usually don’t EVER get detached, I’m quite successful at holding myselfnon line, but that’s bc I am careful about triggers. So... not starting conflict will be the best decision.
I don’t know how much time I’ll have in sunday but I hope it will be enough for a chapter update.
If you’ve read so far, thank you, this post went out of hand— but I can comfortably talk about it now because I’m over it, and I’m trying to rationalize the fact that me consistently updating really makes me happy and excited and having fun instead of feeling detached and it’s important and I just love my story and I hope you all feel content and satisfied when you read Conflict’s final.

Just The Girl
HMMM
I was listening to just the girl by the click five and idk man i was inspired ™ to write for roger.. Please be kind! This is my first fic for the guy…
Side note: I can never read x readers with real people bc i think it’s just weird but I can for roger? But like, I imagine him as Ben!Roger in specifically the movie and i guess it’s not real real? Anyway…enjoy
Requests are open (but i am slow) | i have a tag list too (she’s empty)
Warnings: none
Word Count: 1711
“Roger, what was that performance? C’mon, you can’t hold Freddie–a-and the band back,” Paul chastised.
“Well I think he saw a girl in the crowd he fancies. They never come to our shows, why did they decide to come to this one? Of course, it’s the one that’s not as spectacular,” Freddie chuckled.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Roger replied haughtily, stalking off.
“He knows,” Freddie whispered loudly.
Roger made his way to a nearby bar he had happened to see passing by. He ordered a beer and watched a group of girls stumbling over each other to reach a girl on the dance floor. He squinted.
“Wait. [Y/N]?” he shouted. Her head popped up from the crowd and gave a sly smile, pushing past the people surrounding her.
“Rogah Tayla! Nice performance today.”
He took a sip of his beer, “Eh, could have been better.”
“Yeah, but the part where you go ‘ready Freddie?’ Mmm, I love that part.”
Roger smirked slightly, looking [Y/N] up and down. “So, will you let me take you home tonight?”
“Hm, no,” they laughed, “I’ve got my eye on a cute girl I saw earlier.” [Y/N] pointed towards the entrance was. There were at least five cute girls Roger could see.
“Which one?”
“The blonde.”
“I’m blonde.”
“In the red dress.”
“I’m wearing a red jacket.”
“What is this, Taylor?” [Y/N] watched the girls dance for a moment and bid him a quick farewell. “Got things to do, ya know how it is.”
“Abbey! Wanna get outta here?” he heard them yell. Watched them wrap their arms around the blond chick’s waste and watched them place a kiss to apparently Abbey’s temple. He saw them both giggle and step out of the bar.
Roger threw back his drink and slammed some cash on the counter.
The night air was cold, biting at the tip of his nose and eyelashes. He kicked at the pavement.  “Damn, that [Y/N]. How can she just lead me on like this? I mean, last week, we had a good bit of fun, but this week she acts like I don’t even exist. UGh! I’m sounding like a teenage girl. He thought of their laugher and was quickly pulled into a silent reverie.
“Wow, man, you’ve got it bad. We’ve been trying to get your attention for the past three minutes,” Brian coughed.
“How did I get back here so fast? I swear I was just outside the pub…”
“Bet he’s been thinking about [Y/N] the entire time then. Oh! Let’s call her up to hang out!”
“Nah. She went home with someone,” Roger shrugged.
“A guy?” John questioned.
“No. A girl called Abbey I think? She even kinda looked like me!”
“That’s cold, mate,” said Brian. Roger flopped onto the couch.
“Tell me about it. Remember when we had that school reunion and she pushed me in the pool? I couldn’t even wear my clothes after that they were so wet.”
“Oh, of course I remember that.”
“Well. I say we get this [Y/N] girl up here at some point to hang out. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met em. What do they even look like?” Freddie questioned, twirling a glass of wine.
“Hm…They’ve got bright purple hair now…And they usually wear leather jackets?”
“Roger may always go for those ditzy girls, but I think he’s got a thing for bad girls.”
“Don’t they always wear dark lipstick too?” Deaky piped up.
“What? How does everyone know this girl but me? Roger, invite her over,” Freddie pouted.
“Yes your highness,” he responded, rolling his eyes. “Anyway, I’m going to bed. See ya guys tomorrow.”
“Invite her!” Freddie shouted after him. He turned back to the rest of his bandmates. “So, think he’s got a chance? They sound like a lesbian goddess to me.”
Roger was definitely not going to invite them anywhere.
“If I recall, they used to hook up sometimes during university. But then [Y/N] would disappear for a bit.”
“An enigma, huh?”
“Oh definitely.”
The next day was a day spent in the city, as the boys had no performances or tours. Freddie, like always, was eccentric and hounding on Roger to invite [Y/N] dinner.
“No way! I don’t want you blokes to embarrass me,” Roger shrugged.
“I’ll ask [Y/N], then,” Brian piped up.
Freddie clapped his hands together. “See? We’ve got at least one sane person!”
“Yeah. I’ll just call her up then.”
“NO! You will: not do that.”
“C’mon, Rog, maybe Brian wants to see his longtime friend. It doesn’t even have to be about you.”
“…Ugh. You guys are never gonna give this up, huh? Fine. Do it. I don’t care,” Roger threw his hands up in the air, letting out an exasperated sigh.
“Yessss!!!” Freddie fist pumped the air. “Bri dear, go on and call [Y/N] then!”
“Alright, alright.” Brian fished a couple of coins out of his pocket and stepped into the phone booth.
“Hello?” he heard their sleepy voice drift through the receiver.
“It’s me. Brian.”
“Oh! My favorite person. Why the HELL did you wake me up so early?”
“Uh, it’s noon.”
“Yeah! That’s basically the middle of the night!”
“What kind of clock are you on–no. This isn’t what I called to talk about it. Freddie and me and you to come over for dinner. Or go out somewhere. Your choice.”
“Dinner with the famous rock band? Sounds tempting, but I think I’ll have to pass.”
“I thought I was your favorite person?” Brian half smirked.
“[Y/N], babe, come back to bed,” another voice whined.
“In a minute, Abbs. Gotta go Brian. Don’t wait up,” and with that, the line clicked dead.  Brian sighed, dropping the phone back into the holder and stepped out of the booth.
“Well how’d it go?!”
Brian could see Roger lift his head slightly from where he was leaning cooly against a building wall. “Unfortunately, it’s the middle of the night for [Y/N] and she doesn’t want to come over anyway.”
“Awe,” Freddie pouted. “Rog, where’s [Y/N]’s house? Deaky, what do you have to say about the matter?”
“I think we should leave them be,” Roger and John said simultaneously.
“You guys are no fun.”
In truth, Roger, Deaky, and Brian both knew they were practically under their friend’s building.
Deaky looked up, and could barely see [Y/N]’s retreating figure from the window. “Yeah. Leave ‘em be.”
“Ugh! How can she ignore me like this! And yet, she’s just the girl I’m looking for?!” Roger shook his head.
“Hey! You’re Roger! And the rest of you must be Queen, yeah?” A female voice piped up. Roger glared slightly, recognizing the girl from yesterday who [Y/N] took home.
“Yeah, and you’re that chick [Y/N] took home, huh?”
The girl smirked, “Yeah, what’s it to ya!”
Roger frowned and shrugged slightly.
“Roger dear is jealous,” Freddie whisper shouted.
“Shut UP! I’m not!”
“Not what?”
“[Y/N]!” Deaky smiled, side hugging them.
“Hey Deaks. What’s up?”
“Thought you were asleep,” Brian looked them up and down.
“Yeah, I was. But a certain someone woke me up.”
“OH! So you’re the infamous [Y/N] I keep hearing Roger talk about? I’m Freddie! Nice to officially meet you!”
“Rog talks about me, hmm?” [Y/N] smirked, pressing up against him. “Hey, Taylor.”
“Hey, [Y/N], wanna go get coffee?” Abbey asked.
“Nah, you go on ahead. I’ll see ya later,” they said, throwing up a peace sign.
The girl pouted a bit, but mumbled a ‘see ya later’ and went on her way.
“Why don’t you grab lunch with us then? I mean, while you’re here,” Roger stuttered.
“Awe, that’s cute,” [Y/N] said, patting his cheek. “Guess so, I’ve got nothing better to do. Besides, now there’s two gays in the house. That means….”
“More trouble!” Freddie chimed in.
“You’re bi though…” Brian laughed.
“Eh, saying I’m gay is easier than explaining I like guys and gals. You know how it goes.”
“No…not really.”
‘Whatever, Freddie understands. Right, Fred?” In response, he laughed and nodded, saying something about the gay agenda.
The gang decided to get sushi, the rest of the boys silently agreeing to force [Y/N] and Roger to sit next to each other.
“Thought you guys wanted to wait for dinner, but now we’re having lunch? Wild,” [Y/N] said, kicking up their feet on the chair adjacent to them.
“Well. Obvious change of plans,” Roger snorted to which [Y/N] rolled their eyes.
“You guys already act like a married couple,” Freddie commented.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I’m not.”
“Anyway, I can’t wait for your next album, guys.”
“You listen to our stuff a lot, then?” Deaky asked.
“Uh yeah, you guys are amazing. Don’t let it get to your head though.”
“Too late,” Brian laughed, watching Roger glean with pride.
The group stayed for a couple hours, and [Y/N] bailed early because of their job. “Bye guys. Bye Roger,” they said, kissing him on the corner of his mouth.
Roger gestured to [Y/N]’s retreating form wildly. “They’re a mystery! Maybe they’re too much for me?! Why do I keep coming back to them?!”
“Ya just got it bad, man,” Bri laughed, patting him on the back. “I’m sure it’ll work out. Eventually.”
“He’d wait that long,” Freddie said, elbowing him in the side.
“I’m sure [Y/N] had a good time, so we’re probably gonna see more of ‘em,” Deaky said, “I’m kind of excited. We haven’t hung out in a while. You know, with becoming famous and all.”

Wow you really went off the other day but at least it was worth it 😪 I normally look at the scenery when I’m on a road trip, but then I get bored of it and decide to sleep bc there’s nothing else to do. Motion sickness must suck :(( do you take gravol or something to help with it? Coffee literally drains the life out of my funds it hurts me
Yes omg pls make me cookies I love them. Maybe you can even open a bakery with pastries and sell some good /cheap/ coffee. Ilyt my dear baker 🥺 ye I’m not the biggest fan of my bday either but gotta celebrate anyway!! One year closer to death woohoo 🎉🎉 your birthday is the most important day of the year!!! You can’t fight me on this I’m right
Pearls are so good. Like most places I go to don’t add anything to the pearls so it’s just bland squishy balls but the place I frequent adds I think honey to sweeten them. It gives the pearls life istg. It tastes so good 🤤 hollering is a funny word. For some reason I always associate it with yodelling which makes me laugh
Ksks you must be op if you can make a joke in the wall with a door slam. I can’t relate my arms are literally sticks and I have no strength in me. Chrome books are terrible in general. Add my schools terrible wifi and you get one big recipe for disaster. I’d never fight u either (unless it’s for your bday) ily too much for that 🥺🥺🥺
Hahah I think it’s me. I haven’t heard anyone say “go ham” except for the people who go to my school. I find it really funny tho so I try to incorporate it whenever I can LOL easily burnt? Can’t relate but apparently I easily tan. There’s this one diagonal stripe on my shoulder that separates pale me and tan me which ??? How did that happen and what was I wearing for that to happen??
It’s all fun and games until you go outside and see a mountain of snow waiting for you to be shovelled. But there are some good aspects to winter, like skating and skiing and all that fun stuff. Snow is so heavy?? Or maybe I’m just weak but after I finish shovelling I’m beat. Gardening is not my thing. There’s too many bugs involved flying around 🥴
Kind of? I always thought it was short for cappuccino but I could be wrong. They don’t taste like fraps tho, they’re sm better. I was always a frap hoe until I discovered lattes. My old elementary school was close to a Starbucks so whenever frappy hour was happening, my friends and I would go almost every day LOL
I heard that dunkin coffee is really good. Oof there’s so many things that the us have that Canada doesn’t. But apparently you guys don’t have ketchup chips?? How can one live without them? You know that’s what soulmates are, we’re stuck together forever and I don’t mind that. I’d never leave you 😌😌
YES OMG LATTES ARE SO EXPENSIVE. I pay around the same amount and my wallet cries every time. If you ever yeet yourself off a bridge I’d come visit u in hell and bring u iced coffee 💖 we really are soulmates wtf I get almond milk in my lattes as well!! I used to get normal milk and was like “I’m a bad bitch milk can’t hurt me” but that didn’t really work out. Sigh what we do for coffee 😔
Washing dishes is disgusting. I hate doing them but yk someone’s gotta do it and that someone is me 😤 I’m acc lazy when it comes to smoothies, I usually ask my mom to make them LMAO. Pancakes are pretty much made of flour if you think about it so technically when u eat one plain ur eating cooked flour,, how barbaric. Waffles are Built. Like. They have a 20 pack 😪😪
I love angst personally so pls go ham but not too ham I’d like to keep my heart. Honestly at this point my last brain cell has given up on me. But yes I love angst and I love torturing myself with heart wrenching angst that leaves me crying into my pillow at 3am (I’m talking about this one haikyuu fic that I forgot the name of. I was literally dying inside jalsjwo)
Pls do send me peet’s I’ll send you an iced capp in a cooler so it’ll be somewhat melted and probably spilt everywhere 🤪 tumblrs probably gonna block me again, I’m looking at how much I’ve typed rn and it’s a lot lmaoo. Yes I managed to save myself. I redid the whole last with less detail bc I was not Having It but it turned out better?? How is ur drawing now?
I start after labour day in September. But starting in 3 weeks?????? On a Thursday?? I could never wtf. When do you end? I’m so confused with these ap and honours thing, like there’s none offered in my school nor majority of the school district. Are they just advanced classes or something? It is 7 classes a semester or the whole year?
Stan talent i think you meant yourself??? Jsjsksk I am not only ur coffee soulmate I’m not #1 fan as well and I support u bc ily 🥺🥺 the read more tag had me laughing for a hot minute. Like we really could make an essay out of all of our replies. I don’t have any pets (besides fish does that count?) unfortunately bc my moms allergic to fur 🥺 hbu?? (I can’t believe tumblr blocked me again they can fight me)
-

go ham is so interesting. the first time i heard it i thought it meant go pig and i was so confused but ig,,, i live lathered in sun screen whenever i go somewhere with the sun. ppl are like “i smell sun screen” and im just there like 🙃 it’s me u got a problem u burnt chicken nugget ??? i wish i tanned easily, i have a tan friend and when i showed her when my legs got tan she was so confused. i thought i was tan tho? bc during marching band season my sock tan becomes So Bad i’m basically white. she said she was blinded when she saw me pull my sock down and i laughed so hard LOL & i hate those dumb random tan lines like. where u @ bro? where u come from??
snow is fun for like a day and then i get tired LOL i csn only handle wet socks and a red nose for so long 😔 i tried skiing one time and i did so bad that the instructor had to hold me down and walk with me down the slope. i fell so many times i think he hated me 😳 i’m also rly bad at skating? i went w my friends once and i held both of their hands and still managed to bring both of them down when i fell. a cute guy once helped me when i was struggling to walk so 🥴 not my brightest moment tbh,, trying to walk in skates while on ice. do u enjoy skiing/skating? also gardening is. gross. worms and dirt and the sun i’m not here for it.
u: cappuccinos! me: ...ice bergs,,, now that i think about it fraps kinda suck,,, i used to think i was So Cool for drinking starbucks but now i’m like. wow. i used to think there was coffee in a frap but it’s just. sugar and ice LOL also speaking of tmrw is bogo fraps here,, idk if it’s all over the world but myb u should check it out 😪
dunkins okay it depends on what you get, i once got an iced latte and it was good but my dad got an iced coffee and he like. hated it so we had to switch and it was so bad like. it was coffee crime. it was horrible and not strong it was basically milk 😤 also,, ketchup chip? i just googled what that was and. that’s literally so weird. fun fact i hate ketchup and all other condiments i can only eat bbq sauce and i tolerate steak sauce
UR LITERALLY SO CUTE OKAY UR MINE NOW HHHH
i mentioned this in the other ask but. we going broke bitches club 😪 when u come visit me it’ll be old town road the one w mason ramsey on a loop. nothing will top the og remix but no, i’ll be stuck listening to some 5 year old rap for all of eternity
I USED TO BE SUCH A GOOD KID AND DRINK MILK EVERY MORNING ever since i got to middle school i preferred sleep over waffles and milk and i hardly drink milk but when i do. my stomach does not have it.

twt being no.1 on updates, true that <3
not jaebeom speaking abt the mark, hui, btob youngjae fight on youngk's radio show at the time i was typing away abt temper 😭 dhdjdkkdks it's so funny whenever these guys meet someone has to mention abt it and then everyone starts talking. it's like that one story in your friend group you all just can't let go of and some might be like ' how long are you gonna talk abt it?' & next thing you know they're also talking about it at some other time djdjsksk. (but also not him saying he hugged mk to stop him 😔🥺 this was new info to me) i get what you're trying to say hdjdke <33.
oh no alexa pls play you can't sit with us by sunmi. sorry jaebs you are not allowed in our club anymore </3 dhdjdk. RIGHT?? need some silly things to hang on to, to make life interesting jdjdkdkd. naur <///3 i love yugs' smile and laugh sm. i like calling him, chan and seungkwan(even tho sometimes this one makes me want to fight him) ' babu ' (it's a cute term of endearment in my language djjdd idk how to describe it in eng it's something btwn bub and cutie but tbh comparing it to these two makes it a lil bland djdjdk also i feel like sharing this will give away my identity bc i use these a lot in tags 😭😭 also idk if you got the notif but i accidentally liked & then unliked last ask jdjdkd) anyway all 3 of them make me very happy 🥺.
im starting to l*ve u and ur taste too 😿💗. i'll be honest i don't know which bsides have choreo from old albums ( i only know of current ones bc i was there during cbs djdjk 😭) unless someone tells me abt it, i haven't seen it yet but that's what i'm gonna do after sending this. also samee i dont wanna get my hopes up but since jus2 are basically from same agency i am also looking forward to them being in one track in future.
gotsvt chef's kiss 💖. i think ppl just start naming songs they personally dislike, flop these days djjdke. maybe it's just younger ones or just those who listen to title tracks only. there used to be this one song i listened to, of jamie, it was also a feature can't remember name of it, but other than that i haven't listened to her discography much :3. tasteee it's a banger! on the rocks makes me want to miss my non existent s/o djekdkdl. the lyrics </3 the vibe </3. i think drive you home comes close to it for me. after on the rocks that's another one i love with capital L.

rain rain go away
[soutaku; AU where Souma is a part time cashier part time piano prodigy, and Takumi is a famous novelist who recently got fucked over by identity theft. 
but this fic is about getting caught in the rain and deals with none of that heavy stuff]
a/n: ayyyyyyy back w another au, will i ever fuckin stop. 
btw: u might notice i used 'yukihira' instead of 'souma' like i usually do here. this is bc ppl in this au mostly know souma as 'yukihira' so i used that. more details about this au coming soon. maybe. perhaps. idk lmao
ao3 / ffnet
The weather bureau’s cheery mascot mocks Takumi from his phone screen, beaming “a sunny 35°C, don’t forget your sunblock!”.
Takumi despondently looks down at the quickly gathering water at his feet, ears drowning in the sound of rainfall pelting down.
Sunny indeed.
He pockets his phone and hastens his steps; this inclined path was not doing his leather shoes any favours.
Takumi barely bites back a yelp when a gust of wind crashes into him full force. He stumbles back a step, then two, and catches himself just in time to prevent his untimely demise onto the muddy pavement.
His umbrella is not so lucky and snaps cleanly in half, accepting its end swiftly.
During a brief moment of sheer upset, Takumi considers screaming in frustration, but the heavy rain convinces him to start running instead. This doesn’t stop him from glaring at his umbrella in disbelief for the betrayal as he stuffs it into his chest to reduce wind resistance
Speaking of things to protect. Takumi clutches his briefcase closer to his chest, muttering a short curse at how absolutely soaked it felt. Thank god he’d moved on from hand written drafts to thumbdrives and technology. He might just kill himself if the final draft of his book was ruined from something as stupid as faulty weather reporting.
Amidst the storm, Takumi can make out a dimly blinking ‘24/7’ sign. An arm shielding his face from the rain, he sprints as fast as his already burning calves can take him.
The welcome jingle of his apartment’s corner minimart has never sounded more welcoming.
He does suck in a chilled breath when the blast of air conditioning hits his very wet back, however.
Takumi navigates the store with speedy ease, snatching two towels off a rack close to the automated door, and making his way to the register immediately. He slaps it down on the counter along with his briefcase, and he would have apologised for the unnecessarily sour attitude if it wasn’t for the fact that he recognised the redhead behind the counter.
Too many late night trips to the minimart during the past year -  whether it be a genuine need for something or just to get a breather from his work - had familiarised Takumi with him.
“Bad day?”
Takumi blinks the water from out his eyes, and smiles tiredly at Yukihira.
“Just the weather.”
And that was true. Takumi had been having the best day of his life, prior to this.
Doujima-sensei had informed him that his comeback debut novel was selling like hotcakes, and its sequel’s draft Takumi had brought today was right on track - just a few chapter revisions and finalising a few administration matters, and off to the printing press it would go.
Then the sudden downpour had started, turning Takumi’s forty minute uphill trek from the cafe back home into a desperate dash.
So now Takumi was left stranded and feeling like an old dishrag in his drenched peacoat and soaked leather shoes. Which, he had thankfully sent for weather proofing. He still had the possible loss of a good coat to mourn, however.
At least his hairdo was still intact. Takumi briefly slides a hand over his slicked back bangs, admiring the gel’s handiwork. Isami always did have a better eye for beauty products.
As Takumi thinks about how this would save him time later, he misses the way Yukihira swallows a little too hard at the movement and slips on the keys of the register.
“It’s really pouring out there, huh?” Yukihira says, quickly ringing up Takumi’s purchases.
“Yeah, I could tell.” Takumi rolls his eyes, and Yukihira responds with a laugh. Takumi pays in exact - he always does, when Yukihira is behind the counter. It’d become a silly little routine that Takumi was trying to see how long he could keep up.
Yukihira has the graciousness to rip open the packaging of one of the towels, handing it to a very grateful Takumi.
Takumi dries his face off first, then quickly wipes his neck. Yukihira leans on the counter with crossed elbows, tilting his head to one side, watching.
“No umbrella?” Yukihira asks.
Takumi wordlessly holds up his broken contraption. Yukihira’s eyes crinkle in a wordless laugh.
“That’s some real bad luck, Takumi. Wanna get another one?” He tilts his head to the other side, where a rack of portable umbrellas are arranged along the side of the wall, next to the newspapers.
“No thanks. I don’t think it’ll do much good now.” Takumi sighs, rubbing his hands in the warm cloth.
“I was gonna ask about a raincoat but it seems your coat is a pretty good rain -coat at this point.” Yukihira grins.
“Ha ha.” Takumi throws the towel in Yukihira’s face, and it smacks him with a satisfyingly wet sound. Yukihira makes a faux dying noise, before removing the towel.
“Then how about some oden? We just got a batch fresh.” Yukihira pushes himself upright, putting the towel into a plastic bag, along with Takumi’s other purchase.
Takumi’s stomach decides to growl in a timely fashion. He flushes beet red, while Yukihira grabs a pair of tongs and sing songs, “Yes it is!”
“Thanks.” Takumi replies, pressing a hand against the warm glass display, where a row of split containers with assortments of ingredients bobbing in hot soup seat behind. “I was thinking of grabbing a snack before - oh shoot , I hope the florists’ is still open.”
“Florist?” Souma looks up for a moment, stirring the soup with the ladle.
“Yeah. I need to pick up a bouquet.” Takumi smiles.
“For?” Souma scoops a hearty amount of soup and carefully pours it into a paper bowl.
“I’m going to a recital later.” Takumi explains. “It’s...an important performance to me, and I wanted to give the pianist something to show that. I mean, not that i’ll be able to hand it to them directly, with how performances generally work. I have a friend who knows them, so they promised to do me this favour.”
Erina had been surprisingly forward about it too. Something about helping Hisako with a few favours a while back, so this would be the least she could do for all the help Takumi had given her wife.
It was an incredibly uplifting offer, especially at a time when Takumi was still trying to brush the whole incident with name fabrications, ghostwriters and Mimasaka off his back.
To be able to thank the person whose music had encouraged Takumi out of his depressive slump was the only reason he had worked so hard to make his next novel a bestseller like it had become.
“That’s sweet. Did you get a good seat? Where is it?” Yukihira says, while handing Takumi his cup of oden. A few wooden skewers have already been stuck into the bowl, and Takumi takes the cup gratefully.
“Mmm. I got one in the middle, row L seat 17.” Takumi lifts a fishcake out, taking a bite. Quickly, he devours at least half of the cup’s contents before speaking again. “So this rain is really a downer. I still have to change, too.”
Yukihira stretches his arms above his head, then twists his torso to look at the clock behind him. “When’s it start?”
“Eight. But someone’s picking me up at six forty, so I have to hurry.” Takumi blows on a piece of radish before taking a bite.
“Eh, there’s still another hour and half, you’ll be fine.” Souma dismissively waves, and a part of Takumi agrees, but the more paranoid half screeches at him from the back of his mind.
“Still.” Takumi jabs at a piece of konnyaku, lifts it out of the cup and frowns at it. “Hey Yukihira, want it?”
“You don’t like konnyaku?” Yukihira asks, though he’s quick to lean over the counter with his mouth open.
“I’ll eat it if I have to.” Takumi says, popping the triangular piece into Souma’s mouth. He tries not to stare at Yukihira’s lips. “But I don’t really like it.”
Yukihira nods, chewing. Meanwhile, Takumi drinks the rest of the soup in one long gulp.
“Okay, i’ve got to go.” Takumi quickly tosses the empty cup into a bin nearby, stuffing his broken umbrella in afterwards. “But first.” He opens his wallet to pay for the oden, and realises a little sadly he doesn’t have change anymore.
He hands Yukihira a ten dollar bill, listening to the clacks of the register as it swings open and the clatter of coins as Yukihira quickly takes out change.
Yukihira’s fingers are warm as they press the coins into Takumi’s chilled palm. Takumi resists the urge to hold the hand a little longer.
“See you around.” Yukihira says, voice somehow softer than usual. Takumi gives in to the momentary urge, and squeezes Yukihira’s hand briefly, before moving his hand to shove the change into his pocket.
Grabbing his briefcase, Takumi flashes Yukihira a smile as the turns to leave. “See you.”
Yukihira raises his hand in goodbye, and smiles brightly back.
“I can’t believe you only arrived half an hour before your own recital!”
Erina’s aggravated voice is only partially blocked, with Yukihira’s childish attempt at covering his ears with both hands.
“I arrived before the performance, it’s fine!” Yukihira tries to reason, and he thinks he hears something in Erina snap when he does.
“Even so - !” Erina extends her arm, smacking Yukihira in the chest with a sheaf of papers. Yukihira recognises the hasty scribbles of musical notes as the one he’d handed to his manager just prior.
“What is the meaning of suddenly adding another piece into the performance? A new one, too!” Erina leafs through the sheets, scanning the piece. “And the title! ‘That feel when you see your crush drenched in the rain ten out of ten’? It’s not even spelt out!”
Her hands are shaking with pure fury now. “Souma, this is your comeback recital! You can’t just keep changing things like this!”
Yukihira blinks quietly. He takes in Erina’s stiff form, her contorted expression, and feels his soften in response. He rubs her head, careful not to mess up her hair too much.
“Thanks for worrying about me, Erina. But it’ll all go okay. If it’s that piece, i’ll be fine.” Yukihira looks off to the side, towards the curtains that part the wings from the stage.
Somewhere beyond that maroon drapery, past the lights and amongst the darkness of the hushed audience, a certain blond will seat, arms full of odd blooms.
Erina heaves out a submissive sigh. “...I know. I’m the one who knows your potential best, after all.” The statement is almost grudging.
Yukihira shoots his original co-debuter a winning grin. Erina returns it with a haughty sniff.
“If you don’t mind me asking, though…,” Erina trails off, waiting for Yukihira’s nod of approval before continuing. “What made you decide to return? After all this time, and everything that happened….” Erina ends off uneasily.
Unconsciously, Yukihira moves his left hand over his right. Then he brings his hands up, spreading his fingers out before him. The scar that runs unevenly down from the joint between his third right finger and fourth and odd splotches of discoloured skin on both hands stare back at him.
The warmth from the brief squeeze before still lingers.
“This is my eulogy to mother.” Yukihira begins softly. “And also,” He shifts his weight onto one foot, so he can peer past the curtains and comb through the audience to mid-row L, seat 17. Upon seeing a familiar blond head, he smiles. “I found my muse again.”
“Does it have anything to do with this book of yours you had me bring?” Erina grabs the book she’d placed earlier on a spare music stand, and thumps it gently against Yukihira’s still outstretched arm.
Yukihira takes it, and thumbs to the very first page.
‘Dedicated to Souma; for gifting me with music that became my reason to try again’
Just then, Shinomiya’s loud, singular clap rings out through the backstage.
“Five minutes before we go on!” He instructs, a loud reminder for any lollygaggers.
Erina immediately reaches out to straighten Yukihira’s lapels, and snatches the book from his hands. She looks him directly in the eyes, all previous playfulness gone.
“Do it for them.”
Yukihira nods, a professional smile pinned to his face.
“Of course.”
And that’s the last thing Yukihira has time to say, before he’s ushered towards the stage and met with stadium lights and the roar of applause once more.

Life - Brad Simpson AU (Part 2)
Requested? Yes. 
This is dedicated to the anonymous person who requested it! Here ya go, sweetheart! :)
I suggest you read part 1 if you haven’t
* * * *
You arrived at the playground, the last part of the tour. There were lots parents and kids there.
"And here's the playground." Pastor Brad said.
"Whoa! Aunt Y/N, I wanna play over there!" Sarah excitedly screamed.
"Go play over there, then." You smiled at her. She immediately ran to the swings followed by Audrey and Henry.
"Thank you so much, Pastor Brad."
"Please, call me Brad. And that's no prob—"
"Pastor Brad!" A lady yelled and waved at Brad.
Brad sighed and groaned and told you he'll be back.
"Hey Mrs. Jones!" you overheard Brad greet.
"I made you some brownies." The lady or Mrs. Jones said.
"He gets a lot of brownies." A lady stands next to you.
"Really?" You ask.
"Mhm. I'm Lisa and this is my son Brayden." Lisa smiles at you.
"Hi I'm Y/N." You smile back. After 5 seconds, Brad came back.
"Well I got to go. My husband's waiting for me and Brayden. Bye Y/N, bye Pastor Brad." Lisa smiled and left.
-time skip to the kids going to school-
"Let's go! We're gonna be late for school!" you yelled.
You walked around your apartment grabbing your things, when you saw the bathroom door closed.
'Oh, for fucks sake.' You said to yourself. "Audrey, get out of the bathroom!" you shouted.
"I'm not in there." Audrey said from her room.
You furrow your eyebrows in confusion. If Audrey's not in the bathroom, then who is? You opened the door to find Sarah sitting on the edge of the tub fully clothed, crying.
"Sarah, honey, what's wrong?" you ask worriedly.
"I can't do it." Sarah cried as she looked down at her shoes with shoelaces untied.
"Oh. Well, I'll just tie them—" You said and started to tie her shoelaces, but she slapped your hands away.
"No! You don't know how!" Sarah cried. You didn't know what to do.
"Sarah, we need to go. You don't want to be late for school, do you?" You ask and she shook her hand.
Henry came in the bathroom to fix his necktie and heard all the fuss.
"Mom was teaching her how to tie her shoelaces just before." Henry said before leaving the bathroom.
"Oh I see. And she had a very special way of doing it." You said as Sarah nodded. "Well, we were probably taught the same way. Let me remember. It was something about—"
"Bunnies." Sarah finished for you.
"That's right. Bunny ears." You said and grabbed her foot with the untied shoelace.
"You make two bunny ears. One goes around the tree, and into the burrow. Pull tight." You finished with a smile and you looked up at Sarah with her goofy little grin.
"Yeah! Thank you Aunt Y/N." Sarah grinned.

You arrived at school on time.
"Hey everyone!" Brad greeted.
"Hey Pastor Brad!" the kids greeted cheerfully.
"Okay kids. Have fun at school! Audrey, Henry stop fighting okay? I'll just bring Sarah to her classroom." You said.
"Let me accompany you. Pastor James will you please guide Audrey and Henry to their classrooms?" Pastor Brad asked.
"Sure. Hi, I'm Pastor James. I'll show you guys to your classrooms, yeah?" Pastor James smiled and immediately went inside the campus followed by Henry and Audrey.
Audrey stopped to look at you and asked, "Wait, what about lunch?"
"Eat it. It's healthy." You smiled.
"I meant we don't have any." Audrey said.
"Oh right! I'll take care of it."
"Bye!"
Meanwhile in kindergarten, Sarah was really nervous.
"Look, Sarah! It's a juggling pastor! You'll have fun here." You told Sarah as she sat down with the other kids who were drawing their favorite animal. You were in a hurry, because you're late for work. In fact, you were so caught up with getting to work, you grabbed Sarah's jacket instead of yours. Brad noticed, but decided not to tell you.
"You might wanna put your coat on. It's pretty chilly outside." Brad said to you, so you put your coat on. Only to find out, it wasn't yours. You went back to Sarah's seat to switch jackets.
"You could've told me." You said to Brad.
"Nah. It was more fun that way." Brad chuckled.
"Bye!" You chuckled.
Brad waved goodbye.

You made it to work in one piece. You were a minute late for the meeting, but Monique was happy you arrived.
"Ugh. Thank god you're back!" Monique hugged you. Ever since Lindsay died, you took time off from work and basically today's your first day. You looked around, and found that there was no seat available, but Monique made it happen.
"Who's that?" Monique asked Cherry, your colleague.
"Oh. That's the intern." Cherry replied.
"Move over intern." Monique said to the intern. The intern sat by the door instead. Since Monique wants you to sit next to her, she told your friend/colleague Caitlyn, to move.
"Okay. Let's start. What about the Chanel deal? Is that going to be completed in my lifetime?" Monique asked.
"Mhm. Connor made it happen this morning, and you're all set for your trip to Paris." You replied instantly.
"Good. You're gonna love it there!" Monique told you.
"Me?" You asked.
"Yes. You're back, and I need you." Monique said.
"Oh, Monique. I-I can't just pack up and leave for a week right now." You reasoned out.
"Why?—Oh. Babies? Mm. Alright, who wants to take Y/N's place on a first class trip to Paris?" Monique asked and instantly, your colleagues raised their hands. "Alright, Caitlyn. Y/N will tell you what to bring. Don't bring anything orange. That's so last year. And I want my luggage Federal Expressed ahead of time. Right, that's it. Lacey, who am I having lunch with today? Was it Vogue or Elle?" Monique asked as your colleagues grabbed their things and left the meeting room.
"Elle at (insert random fancy restaurant somewhere in Manhattan)." Lacey answered.
"Okay, looks like we're done here. Good to have you back, Y/N. We'll go over other things at the fashion show tonight." Monique told you.
"Tonight?" You asked.
"Yes. Unless you have a play date or something?" Monique asked.
"Oh no, no, no. I'll be there." You assured her.
"Good."
-skip fashion show bc idk what to write-
-the next day-
You barged in Monique's office only to find Monique and a model.
"Everything's all set! The limo's ready. Hi I'm Y/N!" You sat down next to the model, whose name you don't know yet.
"Hi Y/N. I'm Claire." Claire smiled.
"Okay. Off you go." Monique said as she handed you Claire's bag before taking a sip of her coffee.
-in the limo-
You were engaging in a small talk with Claire when you got interrupted by your phone ringing. You looked at the caller ID only to see Pastor Brad calling. You looked at Claire and excused yourself.
"Hello?" you answered.
"Yeah, hi. There's a problem here. It's Sarah. I think you should come to school." Pastor Brad said slowly.
"Come there now? I-I can't go to school right now. I have work and—"
"Y/N." You looked at Claire, "Give me your phone." Hesitating, you give her your phone.
"We'll be right there." Claire said and hung up.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I know what it's like. I have a 4 year old." Claire smiled.
-at school-
"And I couldn't find the burrow for the bunny." Sarah said as she told you the story of why they asked you to come to school in the first place. Long story short, it was because of her shoelaces; obviously, she forgot how to tie her shoelaces again.
"I hate it when that happens." You told her, so that she could feel that you understood her situation.
"Me too." Sarah said as she hugged hippo.
"Sarah, honey, you don't have to learn to tie them right now. When you're ready to tie them, then you can." You said to her whilst patting her back.
"She's right. Why do you think Jesus wore sandals? See ya!" Brad chuckled as he stood up to leave.
You smiled at her and tied her shoelaces again. You make two bunny ears. One goes around the tree, and into the burrow. Pull tight.
You turned around to see little girls literally putting colored markers on Claire's face. Your eyes widen and you yelled, "STOP!!!"
All of the kids stopped and looked at you, "Are those permanent?" you asked quietly.
"That happens to me all the time. It'll come off in a couple days." The teacher replied.
Claire just sighed heavily and shook her head.
If that's not worse enough, you got fired from the job you loved so much. It was both your loss and hers. You loved your job more than anything in the world and Monique really wanted you to stay, but it wasn't working anymore.
*
That night, Brad decided to pay you and the kids a visit. There was a knock on the door and you opened it to see Brad.
"I'm sorry about the Claire thing." Brad smiled sadly.
"Yeah. Sh—things happen." You said trying not to swear, because you're talking to a pastor.
"So, I bought you comfort food." He handed you a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
"Thanks. Please, come in." You let him in your apartment. The kids stood up and smiled.
"Pastor Brad." Sarah said surprised.
"Hey kids!" Brad smiled sweetly.
"How'd you get pass the visual security system?" Henry asked.
"Who cares? Now we get to watch MTV." Audrey said as she and her siblings sat down on the couch. You on the other hand, went to the kitchen with Pastor Brad to rant.
"It's funny how yesterday I had a job and lost it today. I love my job! And the one time I screw up, she fires me! I have nothing against Monique and her family whatsoever, but give me a break! I have to care for these kids, who aren't mine by the way, and give almost all of my time to them!" You continued to ramble. Brad however, didn't seem to listen to most of them. His attention was diverted from you to Henry's pet turtle, Irwin.
"Um, Y/N?"
"At first I'm living my life, the next thing you know my life is over!"
"Y/N."
"My career is dead."
"Like your turtle."
"What?"
"Yeah. You turtle's dead." Brad said as you decided to look at it yourself.
"Oh no. Oh, Irwin. Henry's going to be devastated." You sighed.
"May he rest in peace." Brad said.
"Oh, shut up. This is Henry's turtle; his friend. He can't be dead." You sighed.
"Well, he is." Brad bluntly said.
"We need to find a body double now." You concluded and grabbed a little box to put Irwin in it.
-time skip to walking back to the apartment with Brad from the pet store is brought to you by Conor Maynard and The Vamps' sing off of Shape of You-
"You...are..my savior!" You told Brad as you clutched the little box with the turtle in it  closer to you. Realizing what you said, you chuckled nervously and said, "I didn't mean it like that-"
"I know what you mean." Brad chuckled with you.
You reached your building and said, "Thank you so much. You have no idea how hard it is. I lost my sister and this just in, my job."
"Yeah, I agree. But don't you think you're thinking a little bit more about yourself?" Brad asked in a hushed tone, just in case you get offended or something.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it's always about YOU having a hard time. Have you ever thought about how hard it was for the kids?"
"Don't give me that right now, Brad! Of course I know how hard it was for the kids! I know how they feel! It's a hard time for me, because they were entrusted to ME!"
"You know what? I'm done. Just- Have a nice night, Y/N." Brad said in a low voice and walked away.
* * * *
Today's the day you're job hunting. Since, you worked at a company related to modeling, you decided to look for jobs related to modeling.
You went on your first job interview. Let's just say that the boss wasn't too sure about the kids.
"Monique's Style is a very impressing background," the boss started. She looked down at your resume and frowned, "But three kids?"
Desperate for a job you said, "They're very lovely kids! They pretty much take care of themselves."
Let's say job interview number one, was a blunder. Not giving up, you went to your second job interview. Your interview was at this modeling agency that had a gay couple for a boss. You found it quite odd, but no matter what happens love wins anyway.
"We've been planning to adopt a child for awhile now." the guy with glasses said first.
"But there'll be a lot of travelling involved on very short notice. We'd have no time to take care of a child." the other guy added.
"Oh, I love travelling! But will they be long trips?" You asked.
To answer your question, yes. Yes, they will be long trips. That's why you moved on to your next job interview.
This job interview is your last, and you were very tired.
"...but I'm not always with them. They can-" You got cut from the boss pointing at your neck. You looked at her confused and touched your neck until you felt a sticker on your neck. You sighed heavily and immediately know that you don't stand a chance in getting a job there.
When you got home, you immediately heard some loud music booming from your apartment. You opened the door only to find a bunch of 18 year olds hanging out with Audrey...your 14 year old niece. It was fine to hang out with her, but these 18 year olds came out of a fucking nightmare. You see a guy smoking weed in there corner, you see two people making out on your couch, you see a guy grinding on Audrey, and you see a guy drinking 2 Red Bulls at the same time. The rest are just dancing along to the music.
"Audrey! What the hell is this?!" you asked angrily. You come home from 3 job interviews to this? You weren't having it.
"You said you wanted to meet my friends. Aunt Y/N, these are my friends!" Audrey smiled.
"Friends?!" you shrieked. Yikes. If her friends were like this, you won't be shocked if she'll turn out to be the school slut. Judging by her outfit, looks like she already is.

hi petal, it’s vn army anon here ♡ I’m sorry again for my late reply! omg cat it’s here. it’s coming. this friday is the D day; my prom’s on that day! and not gonna lie, I’m pretty hella nervous, it’s just rly intense with the choreo and all, hope I won’t embarrass myself that much in front of a hundred of ppl who’ll be there._. I actually went to a makeup&hair try last weekend to see how it’ll look like. and I’m still not sure abt the hairstyle, I’mma ask a few friends but maybe I’ll leave it–
–like that. and how was thanksgiving?? I saw all those pics of food my friends who celebrate it shared and I wanted to be there so bad! yes, at least our class does have matching outfits for our prom bc we ordered them at the tailor’s. we have two skirts, a short one got dancing&long one for later, and an overall body (top). I personally like the long one more but it’s not that bad overall. and yea, over here each class has their own prom where they choose their theme&we all have to do a little–
–opening dance. but tbh I only hope for it to end asap, it’s just too much work around it. ohh that’s great u got a scholarship tho! it rly does help u a lot with ur studies! government sucks. I never got the point of students paying tuition, they just thirsty for $$ lol. “as long as u pay tuition” ouch, but what else can we do, that’s the sad reality. abt the playlist, ur welcome, it rly was nothing, I enjoyed creating it! since I don’t have data, I downloaded the vid&converted it into mp3 so–
–I’ve been listening to it quite often lately as well! another thing I found out was that the sound quality of that vid playlist is way much better than on spotify—like idk if it’s just my case but the sound quality on spotify is rly low, and I have premium! I had to turn up the volume to red mark warning to truly enjoy the music. I even changed my earphones but it was same, when I tried out another music app or listened to my playlist posted on YT, the sound was HQ.–
–I had in mind to make more but as you can see, I barely have time to even make any original content on here so I was just putting it all on hold for now. taeyang’s vocals are truly amazing tho! how are you doing these days? any news? what about the cute guy behind the gym desk? (yea, I read your fic ;D) have a pretty day/night, petal ♡♡
hello, raindrop!! i’m sorry for the super late reply; it’s finals week, so i’ve been cram studying and i took my last exam today, and i’m finally done! my holiday break has officially started aksldjhflas but i missed talking to you!! and HOW WAS PROM? did you have fun? how was the dance? was there good food? i hope you enjoyed it!! and i know you did amazing with the dance! :D did you find a hairstyle you liked for prom?
and thanksgiving was absolutely wonderful!! i had so so much good food, and thanksgiving leftovers are my absolute favorite. I packed some to bring to my dorm for the week, and it was glorious. oooh wow, well, at least the stress of finding a prom dress is nonexistent for you akjsldfhdlas i remember being too impatient with dress shopping, and i tried on like three dresses and just bought one of them right then and there ahah. and your prom  sounds like so much fun!! it seems much more organized than my prom :’) 
and yes!! i’m so grateful for the scholarship because tuition is just unbelievably expensive, but education is so important, so it’s a struggle D: i wish the government didn’t take away all our money like this, but unfortunately, i don’t think that’s gonna change any time soon ): omg did it take a long time to download and convert all those files? i’m still listening to your playlist everyday, too!! it was nice to listen to as I studied for finals :D and really?? i use spotify all the time, but i’ve never noticed that before; maybe i’m just so used to the spotify quality after listening from it for so long ahah for me, youtube has been doing weird interruptions/bufferings after i get three seconds in for any video, and i have to manually press the play button for it to continue playing /:
askdjhfalksh you’re so busy, please don’t overwork yourself!! make sure to take breaks and relax a little bit in between! and yes, i agree!!! i love love love taehyung’s vocals the most, but maybe i’m also just a teeny bit biased haha :’) and i’m doing good! i have a full month off for xmas break, so i’m so so happy to finally be able to go home and catch up on sleep and do absolutely nothing ahhh and the cute gym guy and i are friends!! we like to tell each other pick up lines whenever we see each other at the gym now :D asdlfkajsdf thank you so much for reading my writing ♡ and i hope you’re doing well!! have a wonderful day and night, raindrop!! 💙
