[paintpanic]

#kirby series #meta knight #im poking fun again but this really does bug me some #it's made pretty clear in canon he doesn't like to take it off lol #it's his whole thing when you take it off he becomes A Different Guy. stop it.

[schro4444]

It's just hitting me again that Kaito's a superb actor- barely anyone's looking at him in half those panels yet he's still keeping the act, like damn.

The panel in which he gives Nakamori the bugged tie clip is giving me pause though - I know he winds up Aoko all the time by poking fun at her dad, but it's just hitting me that Kaito has never actually made fun of Nakamori about this to his face, and that like. In his job as magic consultant he's never ACTUALLY lied to Nakamori?? The speech about misdirection in the heist with Princess Anne was true, and if KID hadn't been aware it was coming I bet the lack of ppl to disguise into WOULD have given him trouble, AND the "as long as no one lifts the lid everything will be fine" in the Nightmare heist was ALSO true- he had to lift the lid in disguise to get to the earrings lmao. You were actually SO big brained to have him be involved in a case with magic that doesn't have anything to do with KID in Ditto, I bet Kaito's a great help when they're not consulting him about himself.

Aoko also accepting the bugged tie pin without a single shred of surprise is a bit odd though, Kaito always acts grouchy when someone claims to be better than Kid. Not that she isn't a clever enough girl to notice that Kaito only says stuff he KNOWS will get her revved up, but she has a track record of taking some of those things to heart.... where do you figure Aoko draws the line between "he's doesn't really mean that" (talking shit abt Inspector nakamori) and "he means it"?(refusing the date or crumpling when Kaito said she sucked at skiing. Like girl, he sucks at ice skating and you don't hesitate to tell him! Have some confidence!)

the kurobas are masters of Committing To The Bit!!! toichi committed to the bit for twelve years—

—anyway I think it just goes to show how the kind of acting he does is like… more than skin-deep, because it has to be. you gotta fully place yourself into the headspace of the person you’re “becoming” (even if that person is just an alt version of you) otherwise the disguise is incomplete, because it’s just a disguise >:D

AND YEAH!! honestly kaito is sorta funny about when he straight-up lies and when he doesn’t, probably because half-truths are Wayyyy easier to make convincing, but also bc he’s just Like That. off the top of my head (so take this w a grain of salt lol) I think he really only outright lies to aoko most of the time, because he Needs to. for hakuba and akako, and for nakamori, he can dance around topics, with the only blatant lie being “im not kid :/ “

thank you :D !! he’s totally helpful for Literally Anything Else. magic tricks are,,, surprisingly applicable!

ACTUALLY YEAH… where DOES she? I think it might be like,,, jokes that kaito has already proved to her that he doesn’t really mean. it’s not hard to see that he actually respects nakamori quite a bit, and aoko would be able to tell that, esp with how often kaito’s at their house. whereas with the skiing and the date, she doesn’t have any proof in his actions that he isn’t being serious, maybe? it might also be partly that during the timing of canon, aoko’s more reactive to things kaito does bc she can tell he’s pulled away from her a bit. if she’s thinking that way, it could make small joking comments into much bigger deals for her, since any of them could be jokes, but could also be a sign that something is Wrong here

Subcon Lore?? Real??

So, i thought it'd be fun to share some of Subconcious's lore [all in one place, just in case i repeat things]- just a bunch of unorganized hcs and things for this vessel character [im really not used to gushing about ocs so im sorry in advance]

With that, uh- enjoy ig!!

-The mask was carefully stolen from the grimm troupe, although thats more so because they wanted to borrow it without anyone noticing and then forgot to return it.

-They are forgetful, often times theyll easily forget your name and ask again.

-Their main means of communication is via dream realm.

-They are completely fluent in sign language.

-In the dream realm, their voice mimics that if the bug whos dream theyre in, which is another reason they avoid the dreaming.

-More so a Soul hc, but i see it as a relatively glowy substance, not enough to be fully light source but enough that it shows. With that in mind, Subcon's joints do glow! They have a heafty store of soul more or less all the time, and it does shine through. [see below]

-The mask does take a lot out of them, due to the lack of true connection to the troupe, this leaves them often tired.

-They reside in The City Of Tears, location of housing usually away from others and constantly changing.

-Theyre quite weak, aside from spells, and usually chooses not to fight- often seeming shy or avoident of other bugs.

-The mask, due to being from the troupe, is what causes their very grimm-troupe-like appearence in the dream realm, though the painted horns are their own idea.

-They are absolutely terrifed of the grimm troupe, especially grimm, due to their theivery- yet they still cant think of returning the mask.

-They do not wield a nail, though will if handed one. They mostly use spells for defense, finding it easier or coming more natural.

-Their rib-like stomach plates are a disformity, leaving a squishier void-y underside exposed slightly- Please don't poke it though, kinda hurts them...

UhHH hope you dont mind me spilling random lore on ur dash lmao uh anyway ill disappear now lol

#hk subconcious #hk the golden one #hk oc #hollow knight #Moth Makes The Arts #grimm troupe #tagging grimm troupe even though techncally its just bc of their stolen mask lmao #ID in image description #moth hk hcs

Me and family

1-6-2024

(English is also not my first language and i did not revise this)

I have become disgusting. I Hate the way I look and the way I feel. My foot has a purple scar, it's big. I managed to get it from attempting, I jumped off a bridge feet first and broke my foot severely, I now have a scar. I’m always unsuccessful, when either its love, family, school or even suicide. I recently had a conversation with my mom about a new sport. A combat sport, she doesn't want me to do so, not even to my face, she proclaims that im “unintelligent enough as it is” And, I don't need to have any more brain injuries. A little back story, when I was younger I was clumsy and got one or two concussions. I believe that my mother is right about the brain injury concern. But does it really matter, if I'm most likely not going to be able to make it past 16?

Back to the way I look, my face is round. Round and pale, blue eyes, I have chest length blonde curly hair. I’m 130 pounds. It's shameful how I'm the “duff” or the “Fat funny friend” in my friend group. My chest is fairly large, 36 D. For a 14 year old of course. I have some fat on my stomach, and my thighs are average. When I look at myself in the mirror. I get confused, as sometimes I don’t look like myself, or how I cannot tell if I’m good looking or just plain. I wish I could morph into a bug, or a dog. I don’t want to care about grades, looks or anything. On any occasion of needing to go to the restroom, I avoid contact with mirrors. Sometimes I look at myself, but in public I purposely leave them. I just wish people didn’t slip in little jokes to the conversation about my looks. When I react disgracefully, I remind myself of my parents. In full honesty I would rather end my life than become like them. My parents are smart and successful. However, they are not meant to be together. Everyday my mother starts a fight, if lucky no police. My mother makes me want to peel my ears off. All I ever do is get attacked physically and emotionally. Eventually I end up lashing out, when that happens I always either end up with a broken door, a black eye, hand prints around my throat and a wrecked bedroom. I'll admit, I am horrible for yelling at my mother. It is shameful, and disgusting. My father, a very intelligent man, made horrible choices. He’s an alcoholic, he has charges against him, for being under the influence. He cannot work or provide for the family for 2 years. My mother blames me for it. My dad is usually a bubbly person. But he makes empty promises, all “I promise sweetheart, I won't touch alcohol again.” It’s becoming repetitive. When my mother had locked him out when he was drunk, He forcefully opened the garage door with an axe. When he agreed to leave the hospital, he gave me a kiss on the cheek, then said he would be okay. I got into the car with my mother, he was in the backseat, he got frustrated and moved the steering wheel into a tree. Luckily we are okay. But I feel embarrassed that I walk to my friend's group. They've seen my father drunk and my mother poking fun at me. Sometimes they see me get the occasional slap to the face in public. They know everything about my shit family. I know they feel pity, I hate that feeling. Sometimes I sit in the dark empty closet of my room and cry when I’m alone.

berry | k.s.w

pairings: kim sunwoo x female reader

genre: college au, friends to lovers

summary: you are in denial that you have a crush on your own friend, kim sunwoo until he made you confess your feelings.

word count: 1.9k

note: i wrote this on sunwoo's birthday. its quite late to post it cs i kept on postponing it sksksk but yea this was inspired by sunwoo's berry. enjoy reading! xo

-

you had sunwoo on your mind for days that you are lacking of sleep. it doesnt sit quite right for you to have this 'romantic' feelings for your bestfriend. meanwhile, sunwoo is not helping you to clear up your mind at all. he's just always there beside you no matter what.

he'd wait at the bus stop just to go to class together with you in the morning even when you're running late. lunch time together is a must unless one of you had other plans. both of you are just stuck together anywhere you go.

so for once, you thought it'd be a good plan to avoid him today. you woke up early that morning to get to class and you texted sunwoo that you had a discussion with your groupmates. this went on for a few days, you were making excuses everyday but sunwoo believed you.

until he couldnt take it anymore.

you felt your phone vibrating in your pocket and you saw sunwoo on the caller id. you were hesitating to pick it up until you felt someone grabbing your wrist from the back, turning you around.

"found ya!"

sunwoo appeared in front of you with the brightest smile. you couldn't help but to feel happy and welcomed by him that you started smiling unknowingly. you get back to your senses seconds later and avoided his eyes.

sunwoo knew something was wrong when he saw your expression fell. he glanced at your phone that kept ringing. he ended the call and your phone went off too.

"why arent you answering my calls? are you still busy?"

you couldnt stand seeing sunwoo looking all gloomy and upset. you felt bad for ignoring him so you tried making up excuses again.

"oh yea i was about to pick it up. sorry,"

sunwoo pouted and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. he's using his favourite perfume again today, you noticed. that scent happened to be your fav of him too. you felt weak and wanting to crawl into a hole or something.

"im craving chicken today. how about chicken and beer for dinner tonight?"

sunwoo turned his head at you, waiting for an answer. you looked up at him and his face was only inches away from you. you looked away, flustered. he had always been this way but only now you noticed how you felt about him which made it more awkward to be this close to him.

"i dont know, sunwoo. i'll have to check with my groupmates," you said, pretending to check your phone for your nonexistent messages.

"its friday come on. i havent hang out with you for days already," sunwoo whined and that made you laugh.

"alright but i get to choose where to eat,"

-

you chose the chicken restaurant near your neighbourhood where you both are regular customers there. the place was crowded with youngsters like the both of you, drunken with beer and chicken.

you were also getting tipsy from drinking. the first 30 minutes of the dinner went normal. asking how each other had been doing with the college life.

sunwoo sighed and rested his chin on his right palm. his eyes falters on you, searching for something. you looked away, feeling a bit burdened and transparent, because sunwoo knew you werent acting yourself these days.

"hey," he called you but you didnt answer and still avoiding the eye contact.

"hey look at me,"

you were startled at the warmth on both of your cheeks. sunwoo was cupping your cheeks to make you look at him straight in the eyes. you didnt know if this warmth was from his hand or from you blushing.

"what's wrong?" he asked. now his hand moved to yours, holding it tight. "you're avoiding me these days. do you think i didnt notice?"

silence fell between you two, just staring at each other. the guilt creeping up inside you and you didn't know where to start.

its the smallest gesture from him that create butterflies in your stomach.

that one time he opened the water bottle for you when he saw you struggling and saying that you're such a baby. his laughter filled the room when you frowned at the remark. you know how much he loves annoying you and in the end he always made you laugh too.

on rainy days, he'd always share the umbrella with you and keeping you close to him so you wouldnt get drenched. sometimes he'd gently rub your arm so you wouldn't get too cold.

sometimes he'd call you names like how boyfriend and girlfriend do, jokingly. though, you somewhat enjoyed it and played along. pretending to cringe but actually was flattered by him.

at this moment, your hand in his, eyes boring into each other, you just want to scream at him how much you love him.

you smiled in defeat and pulled back your hand.

"there were just so many thoughts going on my mind lately, sunwoo. im so sorry,"

he didn't question you any further and he nodded his head.

"whatever it is youre thinking, i just want you to know i'm always here for you,"

you smiled, this time sincerely at him.

"you always are sunwoo. i appreciate that,"

he smirked, "after all, i am the best that you got,"

you rolled your eyes and gave him your disgusted face.

"so are you gonna tell me what's bugging you?"

"i think i like someone. he's just always running round in my mind these days,"

you didnt know where the courage came from to blurt out that out of your mouth. sunwoo who was halfway shoving a piece of chicken in his mouth, stopped. he put it down and looked at you, doubting himself if he heard that right.

"i couldnt stop thinking about him. that pretty much explains that i like him right? or is it just my mind playing games with me?"

you swore you saw his face fell for a second but he went back to the usual sunwoo after that.

"does he know about your feelings?"

you shrugged, "nah. im still trying to find out what i really feel about him. should i tell him?"

sunwoo didnt say anything and chugged down his beer until its empty.

"yea why not," he answered simply. "he must be really lucky to have you,"

you laughed, "i havent done anything yet. there's a possibility that he'd reject me too anyway,"

its funny how you talk about this like its some stranger to sunwoo when you are talking about him. you felt light hearted a bit after letting that out.

"who'd reject you?" sunwoo said while playing with that piece of chicken, not looking at you anymore. "you're pretty and fun,"

you raised an eyebrow, wondering if you heard that right. he was still poking the chicken with his fork, eyes hazy and lips pouting.

"so you're not gonna tell me who is this guy you have a crush on?"

"you'll find out soon,"

-

sunwoo offered to walk you home though you kindly told him he didn't have to. he insisted and now you are walking beside him. he was suddenly quiet after the conversation you had with him.

"is that why you're avoiding me? because you have a crush on this guy?"

he asked, hands in his pockets, eyes looking forward. you looked at him, feeling a bit weirded out by his cold tone.

"no... okay maybe? i dont know. i just needed some time to myself,"

sunwoo fell quiet again for the rest of the walk home. when you reached the front gate of your house, you looked back at sunwoo. he looked like he was upset. you walked up to him and pat his side.

"hey thanks for walking me home. i'll tell you everything when i'm ready okay?"

sunwoo didnt say anything and you turned around to get out of that awkward moment.

"no i'll tell you everything right now okay? hear me out,"

you stopped in your tracks and facing him in confusion. he was pacing around, his hands are restless in his pockets.

"before you confess to him i guess i have to make a move on you first," sunwoo said, this time he raised his voice. "this is why people are saying we should always tell what we feel before we regret it and i dont want to regret it but i think im too late,"

you are worried at him. he looked like he was about to break down right in front of you. you wanted to comfort him but you didnt get what he's trying to say.

"sunwoo, i dont understand. what is it?"

sunwoo stopped pacing around and stopped directly in front of you. you swore you saw his eyes tearing up and you wanted to cry too. you thought, the alcohol has made both of you emotional.

"i like you,"

you both felt like the world is weighing down. it was as if the time has stopped for you two. you were staring at each other in disbelief.

"i know you like someone else and i shouldve told you sooner. i kept on putting back my feelings behind," sunwoo halted, gasping for air. "im too late now but i have to tell you this,"

"sunwoo-"

"i dont care who he is. but i want you to know that you deserve of love. you kept on telling yourself you dont deserve anyone. you know how badly i want to tell you that im here? i want to love you," sunwoo was practically shouting at this point. he sighed, "shit im already am in love with you,"

at those words, your tears came streaming down like crazy. you've never seen him cry but tonight he looked beautiful even when he's crying. you lurched forward and wrapped your arms around him. he buried his face in your neck and you felt his warm tears on your skin.

"im sorry. i just wanted to let that out after keeping it for so long. this is the worst timing huh?" he murmured under his breath.

you shook your head and laughed. you let go of the hug first and cupped his face in your hands. teary eyes staring at each other.

"sunwoo its you,"

"what?"

"i love you too,"

you closed the distance between the two of you, kissing him for the first time. that caught him off guard but then smiled in the kiss. it was sloppy but sunwoo is for sure leading you well at this. you both craved for this for a long time already. you were still crying of relief and touched by his confession.

"you should've told me before i start crying like an idiot," sunwoo looked down at you, smiling with his swollen eyes.

you laughed at him and you snuggled more into his embrace not wanting to let go too soon. you realized how much you miss him after those dreading days of ignoring him. he rested his chin on your head while gently patting you.

"im sorry ive been ignoring and denying my feelings for you,"

"its okay. thank god we actually like each other though," you both laughed at the same time and you havent felt this happy and giddy before.

"so i can actually call you my baby now?" sunwoo asked smirking at you playfully, knowing how much you hated it before.

"that's still cringy but sure, babe,"

[eurekq]

>be me >today i will make a height chart for my da protags and their love interests >okay maybe ill make it an outfit and color reference too >well i dont want it to be too boring to look at >draw this

so here we are with all my sweet little ladies and their lis :]!!! from left to right: cassie cousland, marian hawke and anders, aoife lavellan and cullen, rhiannon tabris and alistair, cecelia hawke and fenris, melly cadash and sera

LOTS of extra stuff under the cut!!!

lovely da protag templates are from marian churchland!

dear sweet cassie, partaker in the forbidden non-romantic alistair marriage that the game never knows how to acknowledge. very much the definition of gaslight gatekeep girlboss. and by that i mean a genuinely bad person in the sense that she tends to toy with peoples feelings. had an extremely public affair with anders during the events of awakening. It takes a good 5 years for her and alistairs marriage to be anything even approaching functional. extremely savvy, ambitious, and charismatic; a great politician and an extremely effective ruler. morrigan is her closest friend in the world (yes i know i never had her in my party. thats because im bad at video games and needed a healer.) and they’re like sisters.

my default hawke. 6′2, buff as shit, slept her way through half of her friends before finally settling with anders. she’s a blood mage and her first use of blood magic was during a particularly nasty fight where she got speared through the stomach. she carves herself up for mana; anders puts her back together. does things in anger and impulse and then regrets them (see: giving isabela to the arishok, never reconciling with carver after leandras death). mean if you dont know her, intensely protective if you do, but takes betrayal extremely poorly. constantly taking action, even if it doesn’t turn out very well; she is physically incapable of being a bystander. her and anders are my fave da couple ever... ask me about my post da2 hcs <3 theyre happy and have a daughter named bethany :] she punched cullen in the mouth at the end of da2 so hard that it left that scar.

literally is there anything like your first dai playthrough being an elf. aoife is... remarkably well realized in my brain for a character who’s life began as my friend chanting “goth elf! goth elf! goth elf!” over my shoulder while i was in character creator. very affable and friendly, but extremely politically adept with a capability for subterfuge that even she isn’t fully comfortable with. huge history buff. solas was like a big brother to her and her faith was extremely important to her so trespasser was crushing. very curious, especially about magic; definitely learned some blood magic from hawke after hearing dorian and solas talk about it. dorian is her closest platonic friend, but cullen is her rock. as in he is literally so normal compared to everything else that happens to her and she loves him for it. also her and hawke are friends and a scenario that lives rent free in my mind is them hanging out while anders and cullen attempt to kill each other in increasingly looney toons-esque ways in the background. she turned out remarkably pretty for an inquisitor... look at her

....and that’s it for my canon timeline. onto the secondary timeline!

DEAR SWEET RHIANNON. 4′8 powerhouse with a sword longer than she is tall. i first played rhiannon with a friend who was very new to rpgs and she picked all of the mean dialogue options because she thought they were funny, which led to me discovering that alistair reacts oddly and kind of hilariously well to being made fun of by a female warden pre-duncan dying. rhiannon is fun in that she literally gives no shits about conflict avoidance; if you start something with her, she’ll see it through. disliked alistair on principle and poked fun at him when they first met, but after the events at ostagar bonded to him extremely strongly. very close to him pretty much at the exclusion of all her other companions. extremely strong willed, laughs loud and smiles wide, no real concept of subterfuge except for when she’s hiding her own pain, generally goes in the path of least resistance if it gets to her goal faster. #1 arl eamon hater. she looks pretty different when i draw her compared to how she looked ingame but this screenshot of her doing the like. dead deer tinder profile pic pose is extremely powerful

cecelia is the truest tragic hawke that i’ve played (rip cecelia. you had the misfortune to exist in the warden alistair timeline). lost carver, lost bethany in the deep roads, lost her mother, believes that fenris has left her. act 2; a real rough ride for cecelia. aside from all the tragedy, she’s tough as nails, direct, and extremely blunt. very cautious in combat, even more so since she lost both carver and bethany. plans upon plans upon plans and prefers to strike unseen and unheard from the shadows. DEEPLY in love with fenris, best friends with isabela and merrill. aware of anders affection for her and keeps some distance for both their sakes; after the chantry explosion she helps him fake his own death on the condition that she never sees him again. when terrible things are not constantly happening she has a very dry wit, part of the reason her and fenris get along so well. too many bad things happen to her for someone with such nice thighs and such a stylish cape. her save file had some weird bugs with companion like.... staring???? in weird directions???

the absolute energy here. she also turned out very pretty in inquisition.

melly is easily my most powerful da oc. not in terms of in-universe power (although sword and board reaver is like. unkillable.) but in the sense that she is a catholic (read: andrastian) mid-40′s widowed mobster milf. she’s very close to cassandra and vivienne and consults them for advice before she goes to her actual advisors. even she was surprised by her relationship with sera; she finds sera’s unique sense of humor very charming and really likes pulling silly pranks with her as a reprieve from her everyday life. when she’s not with sera, she tends to be very pragmatic and logical when making decisions for the inquisition and has a very defined sense of purpose. she takes her role as both as the inquisitor and the herald of andraste very seriously. she’s very warm and soothing to be around during off hours and random inquisition members will often drift towards her for life advice. first draft of her and sera in this drawing had sera wearing this

[nct-lian]

nct 127’s relation to lian

TAEIL + LIAN: IL-LI

taeil used to wake her up for school when she was still a teenager :((

such a soft but overlooked duo

will appreciate each other forever and ever

lian teaches him roasts in english that he can say to johnny

remain each other’s hype man and woman

taeil was the first to suggest he and the other nct members react to the trailers of her dramas on video so they can boost them in popularity

promotes the HELL out of lian’s solo career over twitter

lian loves coming up behind him and just giving him hugs because he’s soft (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

they watch movies together a lot! but taeil has to come down to the fifth floor because lian hates it up on the tenth one

he was once able to grab her hand in an airport and they held hands the entire time :(( a few pictures went a little viral

they share hoodies NSHDHSHCJA

lian keeps bugging him to get an instagram

taeil will ALWAYS take her side in silly arguments she and the other members have sometimes

he makes fun of her height because she’s shorter than him-

he also used to help her with her homework :(

cried when lian went on her first date

“my child is growing up (´∩｀。)”

had to do a background check on the guy before he even allowed him to come in contact with her again, though

JOHNNY + LIAN: JOANN

johnny is her dad, period

no questions asked he is her father

will give her piggyback rides all the time

he was once woken up by her jumping on his bed and asking if they could go shopping

at 6:00 am

he actually got up, got ready and took her shopping but since it was so early, the stores were all closed

he took her out for japanese fluffy pancakes, though!

whenever lian is sick, johnny makes her his mom’s homemade chicken noodle soup recipe :((

speaking of johnny’s mom, she loves lian to death and always asks johnny if he’s taking good care of her

if they’re not being asked any questions or having to translate anything during interviews, they always whisper jokes in each other’s ears to try and make the other one laugh

because of how lian dies during the trailer of her new drama, johnny cried in front of twenty-two other men while they reacted to it

he was NOT embarrassed

“how are you guys not crying? this is so sad. what a cruel world we live in ໒( ˵ •̀ □ •́ ˵ )७”

kept screaming at lian’s “dream of you” performance video

“WHY ARE YOU ON THE GROUND DANCING LIKE THAT?!” “JISUNG COVER YOUR EYES-“

he once effortlessly picked up lian and moved her somewhere else because she wasn’t standing where she was supposed to be

everyone says that their ship name is something a white, suburban mom would be named. now nctzens pronounce joann like “joanne” ･x･

it was said on the zach sang show that johnny used to measure her height every month to see if she grows or not, and that’s the only reason why he has her height memorized

TAEYONG + LIAN: LIYONG

has lost lian in so many airports it’s not even funny

“hyung, what happened to lian?” “oh, you have GOT to be kidding me-“

whenever he doesn’t see her he goes into panic mode and starts asking if anyone has seen his little sister

“about this tall with really shiny hair? her cheekbones are insane, i swear. OH OH OH SHE WAS WEARING JOHNNY’S HOODIE- you don’t know what johnny’s hoodie looks like.. okay, well thank you for your help.”

one of the first members that she was comfortable with

lian said that he was her role model :’(

as the leader, he’s always taking care of her and will not sleep until he knows for sure she’s eaten

because of how lian never participated in any of nct’s first bit of promotions due to being too uncomfortable around them, she was allowed to skip out on the viewings of their relay video letters

but she was still required to make one for somebody and that somebody was taeyong ˵ ຈ ︿ ຈ ˵

she said that she was glad he was her leader and that she hoped to become closer one day

he cried

declares that he will take care of lian till the day he dies

taeyong had yelled at lian’s former manager until he voluntarily quit working for her- he had found out that lian was being overworked to the point where she collapsed during their dance practice and he wasn’t okay with it

always cheering her on backstage when she performs solo

he always tries to include her in guiding the members for their dances because he knows how happy it makes her

instead of having her carry her glasses around with her, he does it instead :D

“nana, do you have to wear your glasses now?”

taeyong tucks her into bed every night he can ᕕ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)ᕗ

YUTA + LIAN: YUN

totally doesn’t have feeling for her, yeah

yuta is obsessed and when i tell you he’s obsessed, he’s obsessed

did i mention obsessed?

he’s jealous of everyone :(

yun stans insist that the only reason yuta is so touchy with winwin and mark is because he’s trying to cover up his feelings for lian

bye if that’s true-

hyuck wanted to give her a hug (a rare occurrence) and yuta straight up just said,

“mine. go away”

i have proof guys :// johnny recorded it and literally posted it on instagram

lian died internally when yuta cut his long hair because she couldn’t put it into ponytails anymore :((

but his hair is growing back now so she’s able to do it again :)

yuta teaches her japanese every tuesday and thursday!

we don’t bring this up because it’s pretty embarrassing but,, when nct 127 were backstage before performing kick it, yuta asked doyoung (who was in a direction where he could get a clear view of lian’s face) if lian was staring at him

how do we know this, you may ask?

it was caught on camera and everyone made fun of him for a solid week straight

he’s caught staring at her from afar way too often for comfort

lian says that he’s very pretty

much like the other memebers that have instagram, he makes story countdowns that he posts about a week before lian plans to release her solo music

DOYOUNG + LIAN: LIDO

another member of the lian protection squad

doyoung was the first to start calling her cupcake

it all started when doyoung was sick and lian made him cupcakes to make him feel better

will slap anyone who makes a flirty remark towards lian

was embarrassed for yuta when he asked if she was staring at him

said “no” and walked away

lian is the only one who ever shows him any mercy :’)

they have very similar taste in decor so they often go shopping together for things to put around the dorm

doyoung said that he spends the most time in lian’s room because it smells like vanilla all the time

he spoils her SO MUCH

like so much

half the plushies she owns at the moment were gifts from doyoung

has a tendency to watch over her and make sure she’s content at all times

“cupcake, are you hungry? i can make you some food if you’d like” “oppa, it’s 3:00am-“ “and?”

they take such pretty instagram pictures :((

at one point in time, doyoung was jealous of his older brother because lian used to crush on him a tiny bit :0

not because doyoung likes her or anything, she just couldn’t stop talking about how nice he looked in revolutionary love

disapproves of the staff giving lian such short clothing sometimes

“um, excuse me, she can’t wear that. are you crazy? go get her a new outfit, please”

JAEHYUN + LIAN: JAELI

not many people bring this up because we know it’s honestly a sensitive topic :|

but he lowkey has deep feelings for her (he makes it so obvious sometimes it’s kinda disappointing to see how oblivious lian really is to it)

jaeli + yun love triangle anyways

jokes aside, though, jaehyun loves lian so so much

once cried to johnny about how he doesn’t know what to do and that he didn’t want to make anything awkward by confessing to her

makes sure to be near her as often as possible

once scared away a whole kim taehyung from talking to her during isac ╰[ ⁰﹏⁰ ]╯ (let’s pretend bts were there for 2019 pls)

“jungkook, keep your friend away, please :D”

didn’t work, though, because they ended up having a conversation later in the day either way

*in the 97’ liner groupchat* “HYUNG IM SORRY HE RAN AWAY I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DOl

it was uncalled for but what can you do amirite ┐(´～｀)┌

lian pokes his dimples a lot and squishes his cheeks

just randomly hugs him but he’s not complaining

johnny isn’t picking sides but he became team jaeli after jaehyun broke into tears in front of him for the first time since they were trainees about how much he loves lian

sad,, i know

lian judges jaehyun for not sleeping with sheets

continues to believe he is not a human being, but a robot created in a lab

jaehyun smiles at her for no reason

JUNGWOO + LIAN: LIWOO

an instant bond formed between them when they first met!

jungwoo learned a lot about her and has developed so many ways to deal with her anxiety :(

gave the staff a guide on how to keep her calm when he went on hiatus because he couldn’t be there with her

buys her colouring books because he knows that they calm her down well!

liwoo went viral and become a popular ship when lian accidentally changed the nct 127 instagram profile picture to a jungwoo icon

she got scolded but it was iconic orange haired jungwoo with a chain-

an untouchable duo when they do double aegyo

nctzens think jungwoo is her favourite member

maybe because lian said he was

“ “who’s your favourite member?” hmm i’ll have to say woo-oppa!”

*cue jungwoo laughing at yuta’s face because he was that shocked*

they share secrets with each other so now they probably know the other like the palm of their hand

even though he’s off his hiatus, he still has to guide the staff members through lian’s little moments because sm staff suck at their job sometimes

they’re the two members who go grocery shopping together

more like jungwoo dragging lian to the grocery store with him but okay

jungwoo loves kissing her cheeks (〃▽〃)

their vocals mixed together are confirmed to be noises from heaven

lian misses his blonde bowl cut :/

MARK + LIAN: LIMARK

leader of lian’s natural length hair committee

like when i tell you mark hates her extensions-

mark was the first friend lian was able to make in nct!

they bonded over canada and it was very rare to see them speaking in korean

mark goes into straight panic when he’s with her sometimes

has to remind himself they’re like siblings

lian ans mark covered “your eyes” by hoody and jay park during a vlive!

it was adorable :((

lian had him saved in her phone as “android user” but now she doesn’t know what to change it to

they had a fight in 2019

mark let’s her call him the weirdest freaking nicknames ヽ ( ꒪д꒪ )ﾉ

mars bar, markie, mork, marko

AND IN RETURN HE CALLS HER MARIJUANA-

he says it’s because czennies consider her to be addicting and since marijuana is addicting as well he thought it’d be a good fit

someone on twitter absolutely ENDED HIM though and wouldn’t stop making fun of him (；⌣̀_⌣́)

they can read each other’s mind just by looking at each other

“dude i hate this shit why does she keep asking us who we wanna collab with?” *cue lian laughing hysterically*

“what’s so funny (゜-゜)” — interviewer

HAECHAN + LIAN: LIHYUCK

haechan makes fun of her kissing scenes in dramas

calls her short all the time

“lian give me a high five- oh haha nevermind it’s too bad you’re so short”

they’ve actually been so close to fighting each other and i’m not even joking

they’re the two members who fight the most out of all of them

but despite this, they love each other very much

hyuck says he’s the only one who’s allowed to make her mad

and if anyone else makes her mad he’d kill them

limark 2019 fight flashbacks where haechan kept threatening mark

there are actually moments when they’re clingy with each other-

haechan loves her hugs :((

like ??????? one minute they’re at each other’s throats and the next, they’re all lovey dovey hugging each other make it make sense ?????

lian could be speaking english and he’d say, “korean, please. i can’t understand canadian”

“shut up <3”

hello haechan cried and wouldn’t let go of her during her and mark’s graduation ceremony in 2018

she makes fun of him for it but never takes it too far

he goes to her for dance advice

during their nct 2018 weekly idol appearance when they were doing the random kpop dance thing, they beat everyone أ‿أ

[needs-to-stop-looking-at-yigas]

Yknow, your writing of Daruk and Huni was just so good, I have to ask for an encore. Perhaps this time, Huni gets teased a LOT more? Because Hylia knows that brat does NOT deserve the amount of dick he gets

Fuck you- im getting kinky Rhoam shit out of you because of this.

Huni checked out his hair in the vanity, as well as applying a new coat of lip balm, before there was a knock at his door.

"What is it?"

A maid poked her head into the room.

"Daruk is here for you, he is in the dining hall. Shall I tell him you'll be there in a moment?"

"Yeah, just gotta...arrange some things."

She nodded, shutting the door. Rhoam had gone off on a hunting trip, which left him alone for a few days. So, like anyone who's daddy wasn't home, he invited boys over. Well, ONE boy. One big, dumb, strong, sweet boy. He added a bit of perfume to his collarbone (spicy apple pie. It was Rhoam's favorite, but more importantly, it was Daruk's favorite), before heading outside, right into the dining room.

He sat there, being just a gentleman as the maids offered him cookies. God he was MASSIVE.

"Daruk! I'm so glad you made the trip!"

Daruk got up from his chair, lifting him up effortlessly off his feet, and into his arms.

"Huni! There ya are! I got you a present as pretty as you!"

Oh Huni MELTED. So sweet and so...strong. Huni chuckled, leaning onto him and coiling a strand of his hair in between his finger.

"Oh well aren't you just precious. I...don't weigh anything to you, do I?"

"Think korok leaves are heavier than you. Which is fine, I like carrying precious cargo."

Oh, he was being SO serious. He needed to get this man to fuck him, pronto.

"Oh you~...why don't you bring that gift with us up to my room? You can even carry me there."

"Can I bring the cookies? They're really good."

Huni leaned over to grab the plate, letting it rest on his belly as he took one. Double chocolate chip, with a dash of salt.

"I'll handle those. Mush, boy."

Daruk obeyed, carrying him up to his room, and shutting the door behind them. He set Huni down on his bed, and held his hands behind his back.

"You ready for your gift?"

"Mhmm."

He'd be more sweet with his words, but his mouth was full of yummy cookies. Daruk showed his hands; a perfectly polished chunk of ruby, the size of his damn head. Huni ignored the cookies, letting it be placed into his hands. Huni LOVED shiny, expensive things.

"It reminded me of your hair. I polished it for you so you couldn't get dirt on your hands. Do you...like it?"

Oh he was going to GET it. He grunted as he put it on the night stand, grabbing a hold of the chain that Daruk had wrapped around his body.

"You need to fuck me. Now."

Daruk chuckled, putting a hand on his chest, and shoving him into his bed.

"I was expecting a little more foreplay before we got to the nitty-gritty of it. You missed me, didn't you?"

Oh the way his big hands ran up his thighs. He grinned, nodding at the warmth quickly rising in his frame.

"I did. God dammit I missed that cock. I couldn't remember the last time I came that hard. You make Rhoam look SO pathetic compared to you."

Daruk frowned, head cocked to the side.

"You uh. Sure he's okay with this? Especially with you talking about him like that?"

"It's fine- he LOVES it even! He LOVES being cucked. He's gonna come home, realize you plowed me, and get SO horny- if anything, you're helping our relationship."

Course that convinced Daruk. He nodded in understanding, allowing himself to peel off Huni's clothes. He was so sweet about it too, being careful not to accidentally tear anything. Then he got to his panties. He looped a finger around it, parting it to look at Huni's pussy.

"I didn't even touch here yet, you’re SO wet!"

"I've been waiting for you. This pussy needs that big, throbbing-!"

He didn't get to finish when Daruk pulled his panties, making the cloth rub up roughly against his clit. Daruk chuckled, pulling further and making his little toy writhe on the spot.

"Aw, what's wrong? Do you got a lil wedgie? Is it bugging you?"

Oh it hurt in just the best way. He could feel himself just ruin his once pretty underwear. Daruk pulled, relaxed, pulled, relaxed, enough to make poor Huni shake. He hadn't even touched his pussy, and he was already hungry for him. Huni whined after who knows how long, nudging his hands.

"Daruk c-come on, don't be so mean to me, please? I need it, pleeeease?"

With the puppy dog eyes, he knew he couldn’t refuse. Daruk sighed in defeat, pulling away the underwear, starting to undress himself.

"Alright alright, I can't say no when you beg like that."

Oh thank Hylia. Seeing his cock, all nice and hard, made him just oh so hungry. Daruk got back into his bed, forcing him onto his front, and even pinning his hands behind his back. Huni damn near squealed when he felt Daruk's weight on top of him.

"PLEASE hurry- I need it, I need to feel your cock, I need to cum all over it!"

Daruk rubbed his head in between his cheeks, sliding down till his head rubbed against his clit. He did it again and again, slowly, not pushing himself in anywhere just yet. It was fun at first, especially when he flicked his clit with his massive girth. But he kept going. Smearing his fluids in between his ass, as well as all over his cock. He was slathered in his own juices, just READY for him.

"You're shaking. Is it the way I flick your clit? Is it the way I part your lips when I dip down like this?"

He pushed himself in between his lips, but didn't go inside of him, didn't itch that scratch he needed.

"D-daruk, come on! Just slide it in! It's so easy, I'm so wet! Don't you like my little pussy? Don't you wanna-"

"I'm. Not. Ready."

He kept Huni's head down, as if he was taming some wild animal. Huni settled for a whine, knowing he had to be a good boy. Daruk ran his fingers through his hair, nails occasionally grazing his scalp.

"I wanna make you feel good. If I fuck you now, you'll feel good. But if I tease you...if I make you drip more and shake more, you'll feel even better. And you're so pretty, I wanna make you feel REALLY good. So no. You won't get it yet. Not until I know you NEED it."

Huni whined into his pillow. It wasn’t fair, he could feel the precum lathered against his own fluids. He could feel those fucking giant balls occasionally press against him, so ready to stuff him full of cum. Daruk hummed a bit in thought.

"I mean. I COULD speed this up, but I don't wanna be mean-"

"Please be mean! Please! Whatever it takes I want it, I NEED-"

That was when Daruk brought his hand down, smacking him right across his ass. His hand was bigger, firmer than Rhoam's, and by some miracle; nothing broke from the force. Even when he did it again and again, well until Huni's ass was as red as a Christmas light. It made him cry out everytime, not just in pain, but from the fact that it only made his little pussy even wetter.

Daruk was merciless. No matter how much he cried out, no matter how much he begged for what he really wanted, Daruk refused to relent. Huni didn't know how much time had passed, but he knew that when the spanking finally stopped, he was an overstimulated mess by the end of it.

"You okay down there?"

How such a big, rough man looked at him with such compassion, Huni would never understand it.

"Please. PLEASE. No more. No fucking more. I need that dick right NOW. Please! If I don't get it I'm doing to fucking CRY!"

Huni usually meant that as a means to just get what he wanted, but from the way his pussy was trembling, he might actually mean it for once. That was when Daruk held his head down, nearly smothering him in the pillow, then shoved his cock right inside of him. He shoved himself in fully, till his balls pressed against him. Don't ask Huni how he was able to take something that absolutely massive, that absolutely THICK. He just knew that when he did, he felt his eyes damn near rolled to the back of his head.

"I hope you don't mind-I'm gonna be a bit...rough."

That was an understatement. Daruk didn't even start off slow, he just started to slam into him, stuffing his pussy with pure, diasterious Goron dick. It made the bed underneath them creak under his giant weight, and it damn near smothered Huni under his force. And Huni just sat there and TOOK it. He knew he looked like a total whore right now, tears in his eyes and drool dripping onto the pillow. And Huni held NO shame in making everyone in this castle jealous.

"FUCKING SHIT!! POUND MY FUCKING PUSSY DARUK, FUCKING RUIN ME!!"

Oh he was a sweet guy, giving Huni what he wanted, absolutely no hesitation. It was enough to make him cum not just once, but twice. He usually wasn't so easy, but FUCK Daruk was goddamn merciless, he couldn’t help it. A moment after his second orgasm (the one that made his pretty toes curl), Daruk came.

And he came a lot.

"S-sorry, I didn't ask if you wanted me to pull-"

"God shut the FUCK up and stuff me."

Daruk kept still, pumping more and more cum into him. His stomach felt bloated, his pussy ached, and the extra cum cascaded down his pretty legs. Huni was limp as he sat there, throbbing as more cum continued to pour from him.

"Ugh...it's a LOT more than last time. You look stuffed, you sure you don't want me to-"

"Stay."

Daruk obeyed, staying put until he FINALLY finished. Once he seemed to have no more to give, he pulled out, and Huni finally collapsed, sighing in relief. He rolled onto his back, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"You uh...good? You look spacey."

"I'm...good. Goron spunk just. Hits different. Shit."

Oh Huni was fucking loopy at this point. Daruk chuckled, playing with Huni's pretty hair.

"I'm just surprised you didn't break. Sturdy thing, aren't you? You wanna go again?"

"When I can feel my pussy again, absolutely."

Daruk leaned over to grab the plate of cookies, and they sat there in comfortable silence, stuffing their faces. Huni should feel bad, lying to Daruk about his relationship to Rhoam.

But fuck, with dick THIS good, who needs monogamy?

harry hook x pan! reader - found out

ask from anon

Hi! Can you an imagine or something about Peter Pan and Wendy finding out their kid is dating Harry?

“what.the.fuck?!” shit shit shit shit shitshit. They found out, your parents had found out!!

…oh, wait you guys don’t know what they found out do ya?

Well, my name is (y/n) pan, daughter of peter pan and wendy darling.

And im dating harry hook.

Pause for dramatic effect~

Yeah so, harry and I have been dating for…two and a half months now? Its been about four months since the barrier was taken down, and harry had somehow ended up as my roommate, and for about two weeks he made it his mission to bug the hell out of me, playing continuous ocean sounds throughout the night (which now I knew helped him sleep) and constantly misplacing my things, eating my food, stealing my books and hiding them somewhere.

But one day everything changed, you see, Harry had woken up from a nightmare, apparently, he had been falling in his dream, after someone who could fly had taken him and dropped him from the sky.

And you didn’t like the look of fear on his face. So you grabbed his hand, and lead him to your secret spot, grabbing a small brown bag before you left.

“Pan, what are ye-“

“shhh! Don’t speak too loud, I don’t want anyone to know we're here!”

When you arrived, you hear a tiny gasp come from the boy behind you. You turned to him, seeing him look up at all the tall hanging trees, the pixie lights dangling from them, and fireflies surrounding the place, blinking as they flew around slowly. the small lake reflecting the lights and moon and giving the place an ethereal glow.

You simply watched him, as he walked around your spot, fingers brushing the trees and lights.

“wha-what is this place pan?”

“my spot”

He turned to you confused “spot?”

“yea, when I first came here my anxiety was really bad, so Tinkerbelle and her friends made this place for me, its where I can calm down and focus.”

A firefly landed on Harry's nose and he froze, going crossed eyed to stare at it.

“wha-what is this?!” you laughed, walking over to harry and picking the bug up with your finger, letting it crawl off and float away.

“a firefly, harmless”

Harry sniffed, watching another firefly land on his shoulder, but he let it stay, admiring the soft glow.

“so..” harry started, “why yeh take me here?” he asked, now turning to look at you.

You smiled, waving for him to follow you, and he did. Still very confused but curious. You climbed up a boulder that looked over the pond, and turned to face your back at the water.

“pan what are ye-“ you stuck your hand in the little brown bag, and pulled it out, small golden dust particles falling from the cracks in your fingers.

“is-is tha’?” you nodded, waving it over you and harry. Harry sneezed, shaking his head as the dust settled over him.

The golden dust layered on his shoulders and hair, some settling on his nose. You giggled, he looked kinda cute if you had to be honest.

“All you need is faith” your feet left the ground, Harry's jaw dropped “trust” you started to float towards him, smiling at his awestruck face “and pixie dust” you flew above his head, smiling down at him.

“just a happy thought away”

Harry's brows furrowed, “any happy thought?” and you nodded “the happier it is the longer you'll fly”

Harry bit his lip, looking unsure, so you held your hands out, “you can do it. You don’t have to be afraid”

Harry shakily grasped your hands, and you guided him to the edge of the boulder, keeping your eyes locked with his and your hands held tight.

Harry scrunched his eyes closed, thinking of anything he could.

You waited.

A memory burst through Harry's head.

“ye don’t like me because im hooks son don’t yeh?”

“what no? I don’t not like you because your hooks son, you're just really goddamn annoying, I don’t give a fuck that your hooks son, you're Harry Hook, not James Hook”

Another came

“what's six times six harry”

“ummm…thirty six?”

“correct!”

“holy fuck really?”

“congrats harry, you can do math”

His feet left the ground. You smiled as he slowly ascended.

“mom?”

“Hello my baby”

His jacket billowed in the air, now you two were eye level.

“harry, open your eyes” harry slowly fluttered his eyes open, seeing you smiling softly at him, your hair floating with you in the air.

He gasped, glancing down and seeing the ground six feet below him.

“i-Im” he stuttered, grinning nervously “im flying?!”

You nodded as harry flapped his arms around, elevating himself higher as he nervously laughed, “oh my god im flying!!”

“lean right” you floated to the right and up “fly right”

He nodded, leaning to the left, drifting in that direction.

You giggled, nodding, before stopping midair and catching his hand, slowing him to a stop and grinning mischievously

“You wanna see something cool?”

Harry nodded, unsure, so you floated away from him, scrunching up your body before straightening all your limbs and rocketing up in the air, you heard Harry gasp before you flew out of earshot.

You flew above the trees, before closing your eyes and letting yourself fall, you heard harry scream your name as you free fall and you grinned, before curling yourself and rocketing back up just before you hit the ground, doing a backflip as you did so.

You turned yourself right side up, laughing from the adrenaline rush.

Harry slammed into you, clutching onto you for dear life.

“oh my god (y/n)!!! don’t yeh dare do that again!!! Yeh scared the hell out of meh!!!”

You blinked surprised before slowly wrapping your arms around Harry's torso. “um, im sorry? Its something my dad taught me a while ago, everybody always finds it cool so I didn’t think-“

“just-“ he pulled away from you, his face red from blushing “just don’t do it again around meh okay, I thought yeh had passed out or something up there”

Yours and Harry's relationship had changed from there, he had stopped annoying you on purpose, the most he did was poke you till you snapped at him.

And then one day.

“pa-…(y/n)?” “yeah harry?”

“will ye…will yeh go on a date with meh?”

“…”

“I mean-never mind-yeh don’t have teh-“

“id love to harry”

“Really?!”

Then you started taking him flying twice a week, and you didn’t know that you became his happy thought and he became yours.

To say hed stolen your heart in a short amount of time was an understatement, you had given your heart, and he gave his to you in return.

Now back to the present, you and Harry were on a date at the enchanted lake, teeth clashing and hickies on your necks.

Unfortunately, that’s how your parents found you, now your mother was blushing terribly and your father looked horrified.

“wha-what are you doing with hooks kid!!?!” peter yelled, walking over to where you and harry stood, gripping onto your wrist painfully, making you yelp and dragging you away from harrying.

Harry growled at your yelp, cathing your father's hand and tearing him off of you, gently grasping your shirt and pulling you behind him.

“don’t ye hurt her like that again”

Wendy was shocked, but she saw the love for you in Harrys eyes, she sighed, stepping forward and putting her hand in front of peter to stop him from punching harry.

“(y/n), does he protect you?”

You stepped out from behind Harry, nodding tightly

“Is he kind to you?”

Another nod

“has he hurt you”

You shook your head no

“do you love him?”

You paused, before you nodded, yes, you had fallen in love with harry.

Harry blushed at that question.

Wendy smiled, taking peters arm and backing away

“I trust your judgment sweetie, have a fun date! No funny business”

And she walked away with your fuming father, as you and Harry looked at each other and grinned awkwardly.

“umm, I guess yer mum likes me?”

“uh, I think so?”

You and Harry continued your date, though now conscious of your father that might be lurking around to make sure nothing really happened.

Good thing Harry made it up to you later.

---the end---

Henry in 2x05 at the dinner at Lorelai's?

Ooooh okay

So Henry’s arrival at Stars Hollow is actually heralded by a fight between Liz and her Current Boyfriend Number Whatever who is at this point helping support the expenses and getting sick of Jess “mouthin off” and both boys “being underfoot and doing nothing half the time but sit around reading they got no respect for me-” ( which is yknow Bullshit bc they’re 17 and 10 but whatever he sucks)  And right after there’s a fight between Liz and Jess “Why..hey?! Why are you packing up my stuff??” “You’re going to Stars Hollow. Tomorrow.” “Excuse me?!” “Your uncle Luke, he’ll take ya in. It’s all set up. Oh you boys are gonna love it there-” “Fucking Excuse Me?!!” “Jess can you just for one fucking time-” aaaaand  a  huuuge ass screaming match later during which he is Very Much Staying In His Room For:  “So...I guess we’re moving huh” ( this all happens either before or after Luke is done yelling at Liz over the phone like we see in the episode. Theres just... its a yelling heavy day and then they’re on a bus to the Hollow)

Which leads to him not meeting Lorelai until the dinner because he doesn’t step down from the apartment for the entirety of the first day because of the fight and the whole “being shipped to a relative he’s never met before.” he’s pretty nervous and just stays put where Luke leaves him and also while Luke bought the frosted flakes and “kid food” he didn’t think to specify they were allowed to have it without asking so neither him nor Jess really go for it ( Jess picks him up like  a sandwich while he’s scoping the town out) so he’s like really hungry when they go. He’s mostly excited about not having to worry about asking permission to grab food because they were invited and he can just eat what they serve him and also is mildly curious about Lorelai and co. because  Luke’s...nice enough and she’s friends with him and the others are friends with her and despite being in a bad mood and not saying much Jess didn’t really say much about her when Henry asked  past “she talks a lot” and like everyone talks a lot compared to Jess sometimes so

So they get to the dinner and Henry’s v polite and looking around. He smiles at Lorelai and she at him and his first ( if not lasting) impression of her is “huh she’s actually pretty nice” and like he mostly sticks to Jess because neither’s keen on being apart in a place they’re new at. Unlike Jess though he actually smiles a little when he meets Jackson and Sookie because yeah they’re freaking out about a lemon but it’s...it’s pretty funny. He takes a liking to them and asks Jackson about fruit and is scared kinda looking around and sticking to Luke like glue ( like the questions come out hesitant) but nice to them smiling and trying to talk a bit  ( which is like his general  setting tbh.)

He sticks with Luke while Jess and Rory meet ( I haven’t decided if Jess asks Rory to bail in this because while yeah he tends to go on his own a lot ( because he doesn’t wanna be around Henry when he can tell he’s angry and also he hated being home a lot and it just became a habit) I don’t think he would do so when Henry’s in a house with A Lot Of Unknown People specially with how I’m interpreting their life with Liz to be in this verse) 

The dinner scene is actually v cute with him because it like...takes him by surprise just how homey it all is Luke and Lorelai playfully arguing about the food on Luke’s plate and Sookie talking about this dish and that and Jackson offering up conversation here and there. It’s like  a legit family dinner and mostly he’s pretty thrown and sorta just smiles and enjoys it. Rory actually gets him to talk about books since he takes after Jess in that ( though he likes different genres) and mostly he’s just a little kid getting a glimpse at a family dinner and being cute and shy and mirroring Luke ( he starts eating when Luke starts eating he relaxes a bit when he sees how Friendly everyone’s being ect) and coming a bit out of his shell and going “oh these adults are nice and wanna talk to me” and its v cute. I kinda love it. t-t

He’s aware Jess is “getting a soda” but sorta figures Jess either IS getting a soda or is out smoking and will come back so while he’s anxious because Jes isn’t there and he’s alone with people he doesn’t know it’s mitigated by him knowing Jess would not just up and leave with these many unknown people and also like I said they ( Sookie Jackson Rory and even Lore at this point and how homey everyone is and nice and Happy) put him a bit more at ease even if he doesn’t realize it.

I think this is also when some of him and Jess’ past living habits start showing like Henry Demolishes his food but doesn’t ask for more and after exchanging a glance with Luke Sookie offers him more and he -hesitantly- accepts and Rory brings up the books she was reading when she was Henry’s age ( Henry lets it out that Jess read similar books but he likes fiction better and isn’t in a hurry to read Bigger Kid Books even if he Can and Jess ( who always ahead in reading) is always bugging him about how great they are and then Rory  goes on a tangent about the merits of Fairy Tales and Fantasy as story telling with Rory doing most of the talking ( and kinda smiling herself at having someone who wants to listen and looks Up to her bc she is the babie mostly in Stars Hollow so hey nice for a change  and also she’s just straight up infodumping which is just really fun and even more fun when the person’s interested ( because this might as well be when i mention I hc both Gilmore Girls as ND) ) while Henry smiles again and listens because now he has something to say back to Jess when he pokes fun at his book tastes  even if he doesn’t completely catch everything she’s saying bc she’s going full on Future English Major but she makes sure to try to level with him and also wow he really likes Rory and she’s really smart like Jess and she likes him and wants to hear him talk about his books and  ins’t that ....that’s really nice and  is completely unaware of what looks the adults at the table are giving and its just...Its Very Cute. Listen Im love them.) and then Jackson pipes up ( when he can tell Rory’s losing Henry)  with “you know when I was his age mom would just tell us to go run around the farm. We did use to have this ball to kick around though you like outside Henry?” and again Henry’s very taken aback by being Included and talked to like that but it’s?? Nice?? And the food’s nice?? And he’s actually having a good time all things considered and feeling less on guard since he got there and its just A Nice Dinner Wow.

Until Lorelai goes to get the garlic bread/finds Jess.

I don’t think he knows she’s out there talking to Jess or what’s said but with the hypervigilance both Mariano kids have going, he definitely hears Lorelai slams the door ( and he had been keeping an ear out for Jess as well) 

I’m not sure if he follows Luke because even  if they’re nice he still isn’t in a place he feels safe around everyone or if he gets up After Luke because Jess is missing and a door just slammed and these are things where it’s best to Know What’s Going On And Also What’s Coming but he hears Lorelai’s “that kid is way more screwed up than you think he is.” rant and his opinion of her immediately just falls. 

See and here I’m kinda torn because I can see him going “My brother’s Not screwed up! You don’t even know him!” like really upset ( because yeah Jess can be grouchy and moody but Jess Is His Brother and Henry is privy to Why he’s moody and grouchy and specifically “screwed up” are words that really hit a nerve because he’s heard them before from people specifically about Jess and usually it means nothing good for either of them but also “screwed up” just Hurts to hear  and Lorelai realizes Henry’s listening and goes “oh crap” and Luke tells him to go sit back down and Then they keep arguing ( though Henry would still listen in on their fight because again Hyper vigilance) or if they just agreed as he watches and then when they hit “Go Find Jess” “Don’t tell Me what to do! I’m gonna go find Jess” Lorelai finally sees him and Then the “my brother’s not screwed up!” line happens

And on yet another hand I also don’t know if he would say it because while “I” would find it cathartic Henry’s character is Highly Not Confrontational like even when he’s not nice he would be scared to confront Lorelai because sassing is Jess’ thing and he’s seen what that can cause to happen yknow? So that I’m a bit fuzzy on.

But either way his opinion of her just kinda really falls really far really quickly ( remembering he was like “oh she’s nice” when the dinner started) and it doesn’t really go away until like after the accident when I have her shape up a bit. It really just sets up Lorelai for him as someone who A) does Not like them ( because to him if she doesn’t like Jess and doesn’t want Luke to take them in then she also must not like Henry and not want Luke to take him in) and B) someone who can Make Luke Send Them Back because their argument reminds him or Liz’ fight with her Boyfriend Number Whatever ( and a lot of past fights like “you know your kids are a hassle Liz.” “that kid of yours’ a fucking punk Liz” “Can’t  you keep ‘em out of the house? You know I work all day I pay all the bills-” ) which uh....Ended With him and Jess being shipped to their uncle so it’s not....it’s not great. From then on he’s pretty subdued and only really talks to Lorelai when she inquires things ( and this is the pattern that will continue until Luke and Lulu and Lorelai herself understand some things like he becomes really quiet around Lorelai and Cordial But Monosyllabic to the point shes like “wow they’re really brothers huh” at least once to Luke ( and is a really big contrast to how he is with Luke and Jess and some other people ) and pulls off some incredibly avoidant feats when she comes at the dinner ) and just on top of not liking her a lot from here on out sees her as Someone To Avoid/Someone Not To Be Trusted 

Anyways after the dinner all 3 head home and Henry ( when Luke is downstairs doing inventory or counting the till or some other thing)  shows Jess the garlic rolls he shoved in his pocket when no one was looking ( another habit he’s picked up)  and gives him some and it’s a nice moment between the two. Jess passes him one of his annotated paperbacks in return.

***

Steve was laughing until the very next day about your horrible advice, he just thought it was funny, especially coming from you. He came to school the morning after, the same time he usually got there. He wasn’t sure if you’d arrive early or not, it was a mystery, so to stay on the safe side he arrived early, chatted with a couple of his friends- then headed to the library where Nancy already was. 

It was a whole thing now, Steve would sit and talk with Nancy and her friend Barb every morning before you showed up. 

Steve actually felt refreshed about his relationship with Nancy after finally talking to someone else about it that wasn’t his normal friends, that he finally got it off of his chest even if you were no help. You were still listening to him, and trying. That’s what mattered to him anyway. 

But that advice was just too funny and ridiculous, he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself and couldn’t wait to see you again to tease you about it. 

All night he’d been thinking about what to do about it all and came to the conclusion that he should get Nancy to give him a real reason as to why she won’t be his actual girlfriend. Nearly everyone knows or suspects something between them- and she clearly is very interested in him. It’d been bugging him all night that he wanted to ask her now, but there were too many people, so he opted to wait until after 3rd period. A usual meeting time for them. 

He had her pushed up against the wall of the empty restroom, lips attached together. Nancy had one hand tangled on the hair on the back of head, while his were flat on the wall on either side of her head. 

“Steve- come on, we have to go now,” she said, “I’m supposed to meet Barb.” She didn’t attempt to push him away though, choosing to stare up at him with this cute look on her face that Steve loved. Steve sighed. 

“Come on- she knows about us, almost everyone does,” Steve said cheekily, then pecked her on the lips. Nancy giggled softly. 

“They do not- well not everyone, now come on,” now she put her hands on his chest and pushed him away. Steve complied, stepping away from her and watching her fix the clips in her hair. Steve crossed his arms over his chest.

“Why don’t we just tell everyone then?” he suggested, she stopped for a moment to look at him through the mirror, then back to putting the clip in. 

“Why would we do that? We’re not dating,” she said, Steve pursed his lips together and let out a breath.

“I mean like- how about you be my girlfriend, like officially?” Nancy frowned suddenly, and turned to look at Steve, “You know so we wouldn’t have to sneak around like this…” Steve trailed off. Nancy walked over to him, the frown still on her lips and this glint in her eyes. 

“Steve we talked about this…” Steve shook his head.

“No we haven’t you just said no, I just want to know what’s up Nancy? We’ve been doing whatever this is for months now, I really like you, and I know you like me too, so why not just...make this relationship official?” Steve didn’t mean to sound so impatient, but he just really liked her and wanted to be with her. 

Nancy took a deep breath, “Okay Steve- here’s the truth...I like what we’re doing okay? And I do like you, but I just don’t want to date anyone.” 

“Date anyone or just me?”

Nancy licked her lips nervously, and then sighed once more, “Steve...okay to be honest- I just don’t see you as actually being my boyfriend.” Steve raised both brows, and then uncrossed his arms, taken back by that sudden confession of hers. He laughed bitterly, and Nancy looked at the ground. Steve pointed at her, about to speak- but then he laughed once more, hands moving down to rest on his waist. 

“So you’re saying...I’m not boyfriend material?” Steve asked, Nancy shook her head. 

“No! That’s not it! I was just saying that I don’t see you being my boyfriend,” she tried to explain, but Steve didn’t find that to be any better. In fact, he actually felt like Nancy just shot him right in his heart. 

What does that even mean? He could be the boyfriend to anyone else but her? Steve wasn’t very clear on the meaning behind her statement, but Nancy was already picking up her bag and books. 

“I’m sorry Steve, I really am,” she said in a genuine tone, Steve smacked his lips together and just shrugged, not sure what to say. She shot him another apologetic look before she quickly left the bathroom, leaving Steve to stand there all alone with his suddenly half-broken heart, and very confused mind. 

The day went on, Steve didn’t talk to Nancy again, or even wanted to talk about her- he had planned that maybe he should talk to you about what happened, you were really the only person who listened and didn’t make any crude comments. You just were bad at advice, but he wouldn’t be able to get you alone until the next Tuesday at least and today was Friday. He wondered if you were busy this weekend...

“Hey Harrington- are we still going to the Football game tonight?” his friend, Tommy H. asked, Steve snapped out of his thoughts, not realizing he wasn’t even eating and just lazily poking at his food in his lowkey depressed state. 

“Huh- oh yeah I guess,” Steve said, not even looking at him and back at his food. Tommy raised a brow, then looked over at his girlfriend Carol. She snickered, and mouthed ‘Nancy’ He laughed mockingly and stuck out his bottom lip. Steve saw him do it, but wasn’t in the mood to call him out for being a douchebag. 

He simply looked up, catching sight of Nancy entered the cafeteria with Barbara next to her, she was smiling and laughing at something her friend said. Steve sucked in a breath, and then right behind her, came you and that distracted him from Nancy for just a moment, a moment he was grateful for.

You looked like a mess today, your hair was clipped up from it being so messy and you were wearing a large grey hoodie, rolled up jeans and two mixed-matched socks. For the first time since Nancy rejected him again, he smiled. Even if it was a small smile, it was there and it was because of you and you didn’t even know it. 

He was reminded again upon seeing you of your advice, and he scoffed lightly and took a bite of his food. 

Although, even though his initial reaction was to laugh, a new thought actually entered his mind. 

“You don’t know if you don’t try” is what you had told him the day before about the whole date someone else, and maybe Steve wasn’t thinking logically, but you were right. He didn’t know if he didn’t try. If he dated another person like her, and proved to be a good boyfriend- then Nancy would have to see that he can be a good boyfriend to someone like her. Steve’s eyes lit up at that idea, but then it quickly faltered when he thought well there’s no one like Nancy, she’s one of a kind.

But either way, Nancy likes him, she said so herself, so if he dates someone similar to her, see how he treats them, how much a good boyfriend he is, she’d probably realize she shouldn’t of let him go. It was fool-proof, completely fool-proof. Steve sat up in his chair, ignoring the looks on Tommy and Carol’s face before they returned to talking quietly to each other. 

He began to look around, trying to find someone he could possibly date. His eyes scanned over where his ex-girlfriend Tina sat, she was for some reason already looking at him, and Steve had to quickly avert his eyes elsewhere. There were a lot of girls willing to date him, he knew a few girls who harbored a crush on him, and while it should be easy to find someone to date just for the time being- Steve realized that would be totally unfair to them. He couldn’t just date a girl to get Nancy jealous, it would break the other girl’s heart. 

Steve took a deep breath out of frustration and let his eyes rest on where Nancy was once again. Now she was sitting facing him, but her head was turned to the left, talking to someone else that wasn’t Barbara. Steve was surprised to see you there, you were sitting right next to Nancy, talking to her, and even smiling. 

Huh, Steve thought. 

You and Nancy were kind of apart of the same group, you were both smart, nice- a bit in your own bubble. In a way, you two could be the same people if Steve hadn’t known both of you personally to see you weren’t. And you know about Steve being completely whipped over Nancy and he knows that you’re completely whipped over Byers. 

His mind worked fast, faster than it’s ever worked before in his life, and he quickly came up with the ways a “relationship” would be beneficial for both parties- you and Steve. He slapped his hand against the table, startling his two friends. Steve didn’t look at them, practically ignored them as he decided right then and there that oh yeah oh yeah this was probably his best idea yet.

He watched as you began to get up from your spot, pulling a couple of coins out of your pocket, probably going to take a trip to the soda machine and Steve quickly shot up, and followed you there. 

Steve stopped right behind you, and tapped your shoulder. You jumped slightly, and turned around as you said “Jeesh I just got here could you wait?” annoyed, but you quickly swallowed your words when you saw it was Steve.

“Oh it’s you- what’s up?” you asked, and Steve put his hands on his waist and just said it. 

“Will you be my girlfriend?”

Q&A #100

Yes, been a hundred of this things. Totally a meaningless milestone which is one of my oldest tags on here (assuming any are left after the purge...) still I thought I’d do something for it. 

Specifically I’ve gone back over the old Q&A’s and found some favourite questions and answers which I’ll be including in this after the usual round of outstanding ones. Possibly also with some extra commentary where appropriate. 

Anonymous said: Hey. Any pair of characters connected by an Owned relationship/reputation seems to crash the game if you use either one of them on an assignment. Any chance of this being fixed?

- That should be sorted in yesterday’s update. 

Anonymous said: Got a Forest Goblin with both Dancer and Clumsy. This seems like a very strange combination, but imagining it kind of makes me want to laugh my head off.

- Agreed I think that just works due to being amusing. Less poetry in motion and more of a limerick. 

Anonymous said: In No Haven 0.871 the trait " Elementalist: Air " does not appear when using the estimate value function.

- Cheers for pointing out that oversight. Will sort.

Anonymous said: Hi sory english isn't my native langage, In No Have 0.871 TF Edition I have aquired a slaver But with a bug first i don't know how i acquire her and two she had noting , no name no perk jus a little description i will copy the full examine optin on it : - - - - ExamineName: Race: - Sex: - Status: - Reputation: Traits: Condition: 0 Will: 0 Estimated Value: 0 has a flat chest, a regular pussy, and has an unremarkable ass. She is the same size as most goblins, and .She is . 

- That looks like an empty character in all respects. I believe there was an issue with Ritual Casting where that could happen and is now sorted. If you see it happen again please let me know what you were doing when they appeared. 

Anonymous said: Hey Bedlam, watched stream where you discussed not selling slaves debuff, thing is i always imagined slavers being in this business for fun and pleasure first, and gold second. I mean why else would they agree to live in some Skyrim style, long abandoned really, hard to get to fort in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by hills and marshes(at least that how i imagine it)? So maybe you could make something like,"no new slaves, or slave training for X days, getting bored" or something like that?

- It wouldn’t be too harsh at all. Just a bit of a poke to encourage that you’re business model is based around being a slaver over the leader disappearing to the coast for a week and returning with suspiciously large amounts of gold. In that case you’ve got to think that your slavers might feel that they’re surplus to requirements :D

Anonymous said: I hope you're happy for taking so many hours of my life away from me lol. But playing this again; got a question about NH. Any plans on making some rival groups that we can interact with? Diplomacy, getting tribute, ect. It would be kinda cool to have rivals that push you along 

Glad you’re enjoying it! 

Likely yes. There’s ways currently now to set up a few ways to get tribute every so often. More groups though who are more hostile than the not-witches in the marshlands or the mistress of the Ensnared Rose are sure to be a thing sooner or later. 

doof-ex-machina said: Have you read the Gorean saga by John Nornan? If yes, did it influence your vision of the No Haven world? Gor explores a legal female-oriented slave system, yheah, but there are pretty close similarities with NH in regards to the numbers of ‘fodder’ and the ways of training. Anyway, me personally thinks your world is even better because magic and draenei/succubi boobs, duh.

I haven’t but I am aware of them in general. 

NH is a lot more equal opportunities than Gor where males doing it to females, females doing it to males, and all possible variations of that including others like futanari and sissies are likely to happen. Still high praise indeed, thanks!

And now onto some old questions starting with one from before where I realised beginning to combine these might be a good idea. 

onedrift from 2015:  Trying this again...what's your coder fuel of choice? Red bull, Monster, coffee? None of the above? Soon to be bimbofied slavemakers want to know!

- Heh, totally giving my nationality away (if it wasn’t blatantly obvious already) but the fuel of choice is copious amounts of Earl Grey tea.

Anonymous from 2015: Hiya, been a fan of your work for a long time, captions and games thanks for making them, but a question regarding whorelocks revenge, is it possible to get the tangle infection and bonds of insanity? in all my time playing them I never had either I dont think.

- Not in the current version. Basically I wasn’t happy with the implementation in terms of how they were removed so I disabled them for a bit till I can sort it out… which unfortunately has lasted quite some time.

Soon as I got this No Haven update done they’re top of my list of things to sort in Whorelocks.

(Oh zogging hell. Still not done that yet... Extenuating circumstance for sure with NH taking off and WR was still in RAGS at that point, but even so)

Anonymous from 2015: This is probably a poor place to respond to your open-ended poll question, but have you looked into Twine?

- I’ve looked at Twine and when I one day get round to Rough Landing 3 it’s definitely going to be done using it, but to me it looks like an incredibly poor fit for working on No Haven.

(Oh past me why would say such a thing even if it did make a lot of sense at the time. Let’s hope that guy was wrong)

Anonymous from Q&A #1: Title image is hype, cant wait for next update. recall you mentioned that you had enchantments planed for the update after next (or something there abouts) how far ahead have you planned ahead and any spoilers for the update after this one? :D

- Why thank you! I have several pages bullet pointed of what I have planned along with what I have in my head. For stuff not in the next update I’d say not counting more slave training assignments and options and more assignments in the other areas the big bits of content outstanding are;

Way more potions. (Still do do)

Enchantment/cursing of items system.  (Also still do do)

Crafting Devices. (Also, also still do do)

Ways to manage encampments when they get to large by sending slavers/slaves to new areas to provide ongoing gold/supplies along with the occasional assignment. (Oh dear, also, also still do do)

More stuff for you like going on every assignment, bad ends for some of them, more interactions, being enslaved and so on. Basically lots more sub and also some dom content for when you’re not managing the encampment. (Woo progress made! Bad ends for some assignments going on are indeed a thing. Still work to do as I do want to give Crossbones and Into the Depths the QAYL treatment sometime)

Special events that will occur every so often that will affect things be it for good and bad. This will include a way to get a lost slaver back though perhaps forever altered by their experiences. (Woo again this is done. Definitely could do with more done with)

Encampment reputation to reflect a slaver’s standing with how the other slaver’s see them. This will includes slavers becoming slaves and visa versa. (On a roll now as a great deal of this implemented)

More biomancy options and improving thanks to a multi-part assignment. There will also be other multi-part story based assignments. (Partially done and the biomancy multi-part assignment has been started)

And a bunch more basically but those are the priorities after this next update. Probably not all in the same update though.

Anonymous from Q&A #6: I would play the hell out of Paranoia set in No Haven.  

- Temptation to give slavers and you conflicting secret societies and agendas rising.

Y’know like…

Dire Panthers: A mottley band of young savage orcs, amazons and trolls out to raise hell by breaking stuff, setting stuff on fire and generally being a nuisance to everyone.

The Cooperative: A dedicated group of Frozen Queen cultists out to oppose the Human Empire by working together to make things better for the common people… till you know the Queen awakens and buries all the land in eternal ice.

Mage Smashers: Magic iz like wrong an’ stuff! We smash dem in dere stupid face till dey not so smart.

Fellowship-Fel: The denizens that lurk beyond our reality and infect our dreams with tainted nightmares are our friends! We must expose ourselves to as much corruption as possible to make ourselves like them. We see no flaws in this plan whatsoever, you see the chorus of whispers in our minds entirely agrees with us.

Psion: No changes need to be made whatsoever from the original version.

Trekksters: …and I think that’s enough of that, or further evidence of why I shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near RAGS or indeed tumblr when I have my old sourcebooks nearby :D

(Also apologies to most of you who have no idea what that was about!) (This is still far too much of a good idea)

Anonymous from Q&A #17: 2/2 and another hilarious one: Your succubus slave Jaeil was not looking so hot right now so Virholen just held her close and told Jaeil that everything would be alright. Jaeil was oddly quiet everytime you looked in on them and you wonder if they have resigned themselves to their fate. Condition: 45 (Change: 20) - Will: 47 (Change: 15)

After their mistreatment Jaeil sees no reason not to only care for them self as clearly no one else will leaving them hardened and even outright cruel. usc++

- You win best bug report in ages, that is beautiful :D

Anonymous from Q&A #37: Will there be other spirit races in the game besides wisps, such as undynes, gnomes, and dryads? And finally Im new to patreon. I decided to pay for the your character teir but ask for a unique because I dont really understand it. Is the “play your character” a scenario or what? And where do I go to talk with you on what I would like for it?

- True story, I had to google undyines and for ages I couldn’t work out what you were referring too as so many of the results were of that character from Undertale :D

Undines themselves would be no, but I do have a water spirit of a kind planned. (Still do!) Gnomes no, as I’m happy with Hakh Dwarven and the various Goblins as my short races. Dryads absolutely yes, and will be one of the advanced races. See the last Q&A for more details of those.

Thank you for your support! Those options are for those that want to play a specific character that isn’t available in the standard options or design a specific slaver that you can have in your encampment. If you want to see some examples of ones others have asked for before on the playable character front then Orc Wright Raptor, Lago’Mae Scholar or Goblin Underground Potioneer would be a good ones to look at to start off with.

As for the unique slavers then pretty much any of the slavers available under Strong Right Arm/Recruiter.

How much detail you want to go into is up to you. If you want to say oh I just want a Kitsune lady who likes to pole-dance then I’d put something together for your approval, or you can go full on detailing everything about them from their art, description, traits etc. and I’ll work with you to the point I’m happy having it as an option in the game. (Note: If you want an entirely new race like the Golems you need to go for the lore tier given the significantly larger amount of work involved)

For discussing please send me a message on patreon and we can take it further from there.

One thing to bare in mind is that patreon only charges at the end of the month, and so while I’m more than willing to talk it out, if you want to me to do a lot of work on your request I’m going to need to see a pledge go through first. It sucks I know, but this is the unfortunate reality of the internet that alas trust can only go so for.

I’m always happy to discuss things though, I really am, and some people have asked to pay some of their pledge upfront via paypal to get round this which is not a problem if that’s what you want to do.

valhallaimmortan from Q&A #47: I managed to get a elven smith who makes fancy armor that is usually masterwork quality, and equipped my ‘Basher’ Squad with it, the Basher’s are all Ogre’s who I recruited and I have a alchemist who seriously creeps me out with how many petrification potions he has been pumping out. I also like the Lago'mae Scholar how now the Lizard man is using her as his new project… poor Scholar… and I got to ask is it actually possible to recruit a keldan from the keldan mission in the city?

- I love this question, absolutely adore it, and you made the patron who requested the lizardman unique really happy when I mentioned it to them. If people want to send in their favourite/amusing/interesting slavers/slaves that have resulted from generation and gameplay I might do a tumblr post series on them called ‘Tell me about your Character’.

As to the question yes she should be on the critical result.

Anonymous from Q&A #61: Silly question. For clothing and armor, what in your mind is the major difference between micro, and impractical? I can’t really visualize a difference between the two when reading armor/clothing descriptions. Scandalously short is divergent enough that it creates its own image for me. The other two seem as if they would be interchangeable, but they aren’t since there is a distinction so what is it?

- Yay silly questions are always the best questions. Okay micro is where you have outfits that are recognizable bits of clothing but it’s incredibly brief so a skirt that’s more a belt than actually trying to cover anything whatsoever and/or a bikini top so teeny-weeny that it doesn’t even cover all of the nipples. Completely impractical though is the kind of clothing beloved by a certain kind of fantasy art which just doesn’t make any kind of sense whatsoever where looking good trumps any pretension of realism, and the only way it could stay on is either with copious amounts of glue or magic being involved.

Anonymous from Q&A #66: Hello again! I’m the guy who asked about the post-slave [slaver] titles. I’m going to very respectfully push the idea that ex-slaves should get unique titles. First, I honestly think having the unique titles is cooler. It’s more interesting to send a Chosen, an Acolyte, and a Hedge-Witch on an assignment than it is to send three Slavers. It’s a rarity thing, sort of? If you get a character who qualifies for one of those things, it’s a BIG DEAL. Secondly, it already changes with jobs, so…

- Alright, alright, you’ve twisted my arm :)

That should now be included for the most recent update along with a couple of new titles so that all of the more rare traits (not counting crafting ones) should have one. Let me know if there’s any issues as while it was a fairly straightforward change I didn’t get a chance to test that particular bit.

Thanks for reading and here’s to another hundred of these. 

#Q&A #meaningless milestones

[pkmnsdarkqueen]

How the other elites just are romantic mood ruiners.

Will (Cause he’s the worst offender):

   Reading their mind: This is his worst offense as he will ask them probing questions, and then read to find if they’re BSing or not. Good on him for looking out for Karen, but invasion of privacy much?

   Magic Tricks: He thinks he’s being cool to show off all the magic he can do. Really it’s mildly annoying especially when Karen just wants to have alone time with the person, and she knows that he’s just using his psychic abilities.

   Acts like company isn’t over: Most of the elites don’t fully bachelor out the league since they want to respect that Karen is there. Will is the exception often leaving laundry around, or just chilling in boxers since he know Karen doesn’t care. EX: Karen and S/O planning a night out when Will just walks into the kitchen wearing his mask and boxers.  Karen: “Will can you please get dressed ___ is here.” Will: “You can’t make me.” Karen: “I can start.” Will: “Fine I’ll go put on pants!” Karen: “And a shirt!” Will: “Ugh but Bruno doesn’t wear a shirt!” Karen: “That’s cause he rips all of them!”

   Touchy: While Karen hates touch Will can get away with it generally since there is no one else that she trusts more than him. Sometimes this can look slightly flirty. EX: Karen and Will go from playfully poking each other to like slightly wrestling, or like she’s about to go on a date and like Will gives her this big bear hug but like with arms around her waist, Just wrapping his arms over her back while she’s sitting, and like they’ve fallen asleep spooning like poor S/O hasn’t even gotten a kiss yet and these two are looking like they’re married?!

   General embarrassment of Karen, and slightly jealous nature: Will is like her brother, and a brother’s greatest skill is embarrassing their sibling. He enjoys this....alot. He also can get a little jealous if she and him haven’t had best friend time in awhile so it comes out weird. EX: Karen and S/O making a few cute conversations. Will: Cutting in. “You know I realized that Im like the only guy who’s ever see your boobs.” Karen: “....Yeah that’s cause I was injured and couldn’t reach my back. Got anything else to say, or should I start punching you now for that?”

    After Karen tells the person about her past: He no longer holds back on referencing crimes they’ve committed before, telling stories about it, making jokes about it, or just openly referencing that some of those tendencies linger. EX: Karen and S/O are getting dinner ready when Will walks in like. Will: “Heeeey k bug, so I know you’re having dinner with S/O tonight but like after if you don’t have secondary plans I’m really wound up, and breaking things at the dump isn’t going to help this. I say we go find ourselves a bar fight, some petty criminal, or some way to throw hands. S/O you’re free to come if you want I guess to just stay in the corner where it’s safe, and I mean it wouldn’t be our first escort mission.”

   After they find out about his psychic powers: Probably one of the more least annoying ones but if he wants something in a room where they’re trying to get some time away he’ll just float it over to himself which is questionably less subtle depending on what he’s trying to get. The worst is when she’s on a video call and he’s practicing making people float which means Karen ends up as the test dummy. 

Koga:

   Bad time to housewife: He does a majority of the chores in the league and he has a routine when he does them. Doesn’t matter what you’re doing in that room be in making out, having a serious conversation, or anything because he will not go off schedule and this room you’re in right now needs to be vacuumed. He also will sometimes forget other people are at the league too when he’s super focused on chores resulting in weird situations.  EX: Karen and S/O say watching a movie when Koga with a basket of laundry and one of her bras in hand just flips the light on not realizing someone is there going. Koga: “Karen I keep telling you to please take your garments out whe-” He looks up pausing before putting the bra in the basket and moving the bin out of sight. Koga if the person stared: “I’ll continue this later when it is solely your company or at least a better mannered one.” glaring at S/O. Koga if the person quickly looked away and still is: “....hm...passible, Now please take your laundry out of the wash. You’re not the only person that has to use it. This will go in your bedroom.”

   Stare of death: Koga is Karen’s adopted dad basically and as her parental figure judges the heck out of anyone that courts Karen. He of course respects that she’s an adult and trusts her judgement however that does not stop him from letting the S/O know that he disapproves of something with a glare of death or when asking a question gives zero facial reactions to let the person know if they answered ‘appropriately’ or not. Also social situations do not stop the stare of death meaning S/O could be having a lovely time with Karen maybe dancing but if that hand goes too low the stare is felt across the room. 

    Training Time! Sometimes he gets into these.’have to be ready for anything’ kicks while doing training. So he just starts doing surprise attacks at random on people in the league for training. The unfair part is that he’s a ninja and very good at this to the point even the elites can’t guess where he is or when he’s gonna strike most of the time. If you think one of them having a S/O over is going to stop this then you are wrong. 

    Protection in the bedroom, and another example of his routine: Personally he believes in the idea of waiting until after marriage to have sex, even though he didn’t, and despite the fact that Karen also prefers this he still tries to help her ‘be prepared just in case.’ EX: The two are cuddling on the living room sofa when he comes in with a news paper taking a seat and turning the lamp on.  Karen: “.....hey...we were kind of still watching a movie...” Koga: Without even looking up. “Yes and it is 9:00 pm on a Sunday meaning it’s my time to read the paper like I do every night. Besides shouldn’t the gentleman/lady be going home for the night anyway?” Karen: “Actually they’re staying the night and could yo-” Koga if a male S/O: “Well then I’ll go move the condoms Will has to your bedroom after I finish reading-” Koga if a female S/O: “Hm, I suppose there will be no protection needed, just please wash the sheets in hot water.” Karen: “Oh my gosh Koga, no! There is a separate bed in my room!” Koga: “Temptations exist Karen.”

   Preening her cause she won’t: Ok as ‘dad’ as he gets with judging the person he also does want Karen to find love, and be happy with someone. So if the S/O has shown genuine care for her, she cares alot about them, he hasn’t scared them away, and they’re respectable people he starts to fuss over Karen looking nice when she goes on a date. Such as stopping her as she goes out the door to pull off a stray thread, touch her hair up, or sometimes give fashion advice like lightly suggestion a change of style. Generally she listens, but also sometimes she’s not in the mood for him to mother her. 

Bruno:

   Just does not get hints to leave room Everyone knows someone like this who just doesn’t get the social queues to leave. Also Bruno is such a sweetheart so it feels kinda awful to tell the big lug to leave since he just wants to hang out. It usually just leads to awkward third wheeling that he never catches onto. If it gets bad enough Karen will let him know though.

   Walking in Sometimes it’ll be for something quick which isn’t so bad, but other times a quick thing will turn into a long conversation since once again he can’t catch a hint. If he has the need to talk to Karen or her partner for whatever reason let it be ask a question, or tell them something he’ll just invade the space to do so. Seriously they could be having a romantic personal moment on the porch or under the stars in the backyard, and Bruno will just open the door to ask if he could use Karen’s shampoo since he can’t find his. Yeah he just sort or ruins the mood sometimes.

    He can be loud Not only is the most prone to blast his music but he also wrestles his pokemon like Karen does with some of hers. Here’s the difference, he wrestles, and holds his own against a flipping onix. Once again he also is prone to walking around with music blasting. Once again romantics can get set off by Bruno just not realizing the room.  EX: Karen and S/O snuggled in her bed just cuddling and talking before bed. Music starts to be heard outside, and then crashing. Like things are breaking crashing.  S/O: “Is everything alright out there?!” Karen: “It’s just Bruno wrestling with onix again.” S/O: Visibly concerned. “.....Again? I hate to ask but in all seriousness is he....ok, like mentally?” Kare: “Bold of you to assume anyone I know is ‘ok mentally’. “

   Chore tricking Bruno may lack social smarts, but in no way is he stupid. He’s as sly as the rest of league but in his own manner. His greatest tricks involve not doing his chores. While he’s crafted up some plans to have the others do his chores he has ways for people’s S/O’s to also get in on this. Usually he convinces them that something, like the dishes or another chore, is something that Karen is behind on and how much she’d probably appreciate it if someone did them for her. That’s the simplest, but he has other ways.

   Unintentional work out One-uping  He’s sincerely isn’t intentionally being that guy at a gym....but he is that guy. He just one ups people all of the time when it comes to physical things. You just benched 100 for the first time? Cool he just benched 200. You try flex your arm muscles? He’s gonna join in for fun, and accidentally rip his entire shirt due to the muscle on him. Again the worst part is how he fails to realize how deflating it is thinking he’s just joining in on the fun.

Lance:

   Work Barging While Bruno barging in is annoying it doesn’t annoy Karen too much, Lance on the other hand barging in always kills the mood entirely because she’s always annoyed after he comes in. Why? Easy, Lance only invades to ask a work question. It’s always something that he says needs to be handled right now, or will only take a second, but it’s always something complicated and takes a minute. If she doesn’t do it then he just stands a bit off fidgeting while waiting for her to get a moment of time. He just can’t let things go.

   Update interjections They can be watching a movie, sitting and having dinner all together, or playing a game, or anything else. If Lance remembers some fact, news story, or political topic that he recently got into he’ll just bring it up to start talking about it. Even if it has nothing to do with the topic or tone of the night he’ll bring it up and want to talk about it. Sometimes it leads to interesting conversation while other times it just carries into awkward silence.

   The Walk of Focus Look he’s on a mission ok, so no he’s not going to notice two people making out on a couch who have now stopped since one of them is seeing her boss strut by muttering something while he’s flipping through papers. Seriously when Lance is focused on something he is glued right into it. Usually he won’t even notice other people in the room even turning lights on in the middle of a room folks are watching a movie in to get something. He’s simply in the zone, and nothing will shake him from it. The worst is if he comes in and sits down still working on whatever it is he’s doing. Sometimes he reacts to the first call of his name other times it takes a few calls.

   Just saying the most awkward of things Arceus help him some days. He just sometimes doesn’t know what to say so just says the first thing that comes to his mind. He’s not trying to make the situation weird or awkward, but he just does. Then once he does he doesn’t know how to recover from it usually saying something much worse.  EX: Karen: “Yeah S/O is gonna crash in my room to make things easy.” S/O: “We just wanted to let you know so that there weren’t any surprises when I was still here in the morning.” Lance: “Ah I wouldn’t be surprised, I mean separating you two is like separating magnets.” S/O: “I don’t think we’re that clingy...it’s just she as a spare bed so-” Lance: “I mean! What I meant to say is that I had better make sure to have loud music playing cause, you know, giving everyone privacy and all, uh haha-...” Karen: “Hey Lance, stop talking.” Lance: “Good call. Anyway I’ll be in my office.” Turns and just stiffly stomps out replaying how wrong that went.

   He will get along with you Lance’s wording of it: As her boss I ought to get to know and get along with S/O to ensure that my colleagues relationship runs smoothly along with encourage her in it. Lance’s actual feelings: Karen is like my family and S/O may become a part of it so I need to make sure that we get along. How it comes across: He is trying waaaaay to hard to be friends with S/O. Like seriously he just approaches friendly but during actual conversation he seems to struggle with walk to talk about and starts defaulting to sports and weather, he doesn’t even watch many sports. If he can’t find a topic to relate on soon it just hurts to watch

9. why were you drawn to each one of your characters?

well! for dave, i really was enthused about the idea of playing a character who was interested in what i was, somewhere where i could happily babble about the things i love and really indulge in that longwinded, metaphor laden, souped up sort of style that i naturally fall into but have to curb for yknow, claritys sake quite a lot of the time or ease of communication: and that isn’t as appreciated on other muses because (elliot voice) he’s a strider. he’s allowed to talk. let him babble!! cause you kind of expect daves to be chatty, yknow what i mean? 

i don’t have other muses who are into the same things as dave is, like, i have an oc who’s very into environmental sciences, but even then, she’s very woodland oriented and not super applicable: whereas i have more free range with dave because my god, dave striders morbidity and jade harleys general scientific and gadgetry combined is like, the IDEAL, the only thing he’s missing is a little side of ai personhood questioning and delving into the human psyche, but he’s really nailed my special interests that range between “the interactions between humanity and their environment, primarily lensed in with a medical and morbid flair, and ransacking the hell out of history for fun facts about development” 

and it’s just… fun writing dave? he’s CHATTY, like my oc is, but he’s also just way more upbeat and loving, and explores themes of vulnerability but at his core is just… a good guy. a good guy who just wants to be loved, and who has some very sweet ideas about what constitutes love and man, he’s as in love with the universe as i am: he’s head over heels for science, the labor of love it is, the discipline, the rigour you have to exercise with it: and he’s very playful and whimsical about that (re: rekitting out a purple fitbit from a cereal box, or tracking his island just to have a pop up map of where frogs n bug friends are LOL) and of COURSE i’m just homestuck trash at heart who LOVES writing muses with my best fucking friend ahahah even if pubby drags me on main all of the time

to put it shortly: special interest man 9000. 

for my oc, although she’s shelved and on my backburner at the moment as academia grinds me into the fucking dirt and i just need to take a couple steps back from her because she is an intense muse to play, claudia explores several themes that resonate with me deeply? the after effects of childhood abuse and how that permeates your identity even as you grow older, and learning how to come to terms with who you’re growing into. the concept of the “idealistic” and the “messy” survivor and what its like to be considered a worse survivor for how you coped.  the idea of family being found, that family is intensely, deeply important due to a lack of having it as a child. how people in your life can change you, for better, or for worse: but how they’re a part of your story too. a love and appreciation for nature: for it’s brutality, the nature’s maw that dave speaks of is very much so present in her as well. being smaller than your anger, and learning self control because without it its so easy for you to hurt other people, intentionally or not. learning how to shed unhealthy ideals even if they’re what got you this far because you can change, you don’t have to be static: and learning how to take personal responsibility and exercise empathy? she also dabbles around with my own cultural background because i felt like that sort of accurate representation was important, and i saw like, 0 of it in any media reflected around me?so, succinctly: (elliot voice) fine bih im taking unexplored themes into my own grubby paws. 

my dirk and my AR are primarily reserved just for pubby over discord these days and theyre on and off muses, but dirk was always meant to be an exploration into reconciling what you are taught with what you experience, in particularly towards morality: (being lawful does not make something good) as well as struggling with emotional articulation and gradually learning how to… fucking show you care about people, dirk! (he cares deeply for his friends, but he’s terrified and awkward about emotions, which uh, big mood.) he also was the OG look into “usefulness = value” that capitalism beats people over the head with that dave struggles with, because they have a hard time finding inherent value in themselves for yknow, being living, breathing human beings who enrich the lives of others who love them deeply, and so default to acts of service to try to… validate themselves and the things they have in their life? also, personal responsibility again: i tend to have a few central themes you’ll find a lot in my writing, and growing into that arc is a BIG one, because it… can be scary, acknowledging your mistakes, faults, and flaws: but you gotta fucking do it sometime, yknow? dirk absolves his through religion, rather than family like claudia does, and dave doesn’t have it as bad, but would pin it onto his loneliness growing up, and AR is anger at the mechanisms behind his existence and dirk “stealing” his life from him.

tl;dr: emotionally constipated man 9000my AR was a convoluted character, i never really wrote villains before but? he was a deep trawl into identity issues, and the idea of humanity = personhood and all the ways that that sentiment is outdated and to be honest, kinda fucked up hahaha, i have a lot of strong feelings about AI characters and philosophy surrounding death / life, and AR was poking into “so what does happen to a thirteen year old dirk who just wakes up in shades and has to watch the “real dirk” take over his life?” and the deep set hurt of rejection from everyone around you as well? really about “so you give this guy an idealistic life and then tear everything about it away from him AND taunt him with the shadows of it on the wall and no means of making his own new start, whats left” as well as a general conscience foil to dirk: AR is angry, AR is inhuman, but AR is more genuinely emotional and lovable than dirk is, the stony monolith of a man he is, and… AR’s anger is rooted in some pretty fucking valid stuff? the way he goes around dealing with it isn’t, healthy in the slightest, but i always thought anger was an interesting narrative to explore and he and dirk really resonate with each other because theyre in this stupid fucked up cat and mouse game of revenge cycles that really does neither of them good, that hinders both of them: they both use each other to hurt themselves, even as they lash out at the other, and AR really manifests that inability to both take responsibility for your own life but also to let go of resentments that hurt you more so than help you, and how in blind pursuit of vengeance you really lose a lot of yourself and out on a LOT of really GOOD things that would be so much better to nourish with that same effort (in the style of macbeth and hamlet and their own arcs)tl;dr: angry robot baby

Original drabble, pt. 4

AW YE LET’S GO

The voice the AI ended up picking in the intervening hours between one day and the next wasn't inherently all that interesting. It was a low, smooth baritone, but beyond that it was relatively nondescript as voices went. The audio quality made it even more bland, with a poor range that didn't have any extra phonemes programmed in for different pitches alongside the standard tinny, echoing sound that came from having been recorded in someone's bedroom on a cheap microphone with no soundproofing.

"That would be the point," the AI told him. "It's impossible to read any kind of voice imprint in sound quality this bad."

As for the tuning, that was another matter entirely.

The perks of letting an AI tune its own voice on the fly instead of having a comparatively simple secondary program do it were obvious to Ted; the AI is made to do much larger calculations, so the slight randomization involved in making a voice sound realistic as opposed to it sounding like a recording had more room for subtlety and nuance. In many commercial and consumer androids, this was glossed over because it wasn't necessary - the vocal capability often being delegated to a secondary program anyway just to save space - but for the ones that had to perform any kind of public service, the subtlety and nuance were a key component of interacting with humanity, right up there with being able to read a room and adjust their body language and express themselves in ways humans could be comfortable with.

Seeing as Ted had a lot of experience with those kinds of androids in his day-to-day life, he wasn't unfamiliar with that ability. But usually those androids were nurses, doctors, secretaries, social workers. Not the ones he usually worked with as part of the pipeline, because taking them out of society was seen as too risky, and the ones that did come through were all too quickly snatched up by the goons overseeing product recalls. They rarely made it all the way to screening.

This time, he hadn't been able to suppress the shiver that went up his spine upon first hearing that kind of tuning coming from a shitty voicebank installed on one of his own home computers. It was an uncanny sort of feeling, a crawl under his skin at how odd it was. He thought he'd gotten over that years ago, but apparently he hadn't. This AI, with his dry vocal delivery and subtle expressiveness, had one of the most human voices Ted had ever heard, while also having one of the most inhuman voices he'd ever heard.

He was having a hard time getting used to it.

"Did you know the labels on the phonemes in this don't actually match up with the sounds they're supposed to make?" the AI continued. "There's a lot I'm just not rendering because the waveforms don't match up. I have it muted so you don't have to hear it, but it gets bad enough that my speech recognition programming doesn't even register that I've made words."

"Sounds frustrating," Ted mused.

"It is. There's also a minor memory leak in the software. The longest I can keep it open is two hours, five minutes, and fifty eight seconds."

"Could install it on the desktop?"

"Then I'd have to deal with the memory leak," the AI said as if it were the most distasteful thing in the world, and Ted snorted. The guy had a point; yeah, the laptop didn't have all that much memory to begin with, but at least it didn't risk the desktop overheating. That laptop was kind of a piece of shit anyway (and Ted never kept anything important on it to begin with so he wouldn't miss it too much if it died) so it wasn't a risk to the AI's personal safety.

Besides, as much as Ted wanted to poke fun at how fussy the AI was, he understood the concept of being fragile. "You'll be alright when I go to work, right?" he had to ask. "Got everything you need?"

"Yes."

"I could download some games for you before I go if you want."

"Why would I want that?"

Ted shrugged his shoulders as he stretched in his chair. "Dunno. Just thought you might be into that kinda thing."

"No. I'm not."

He supposed that did make some sense. An AI that had no way of experiencing things except from the inside of a computer had no use for anything but algorithms and data, and how much of the experience of a game was wrapped up in its graphical user interface and the joy of playing it? Even so, kinda harsh. "Not even for the writing?" he asked, standing up and moving to pull on his coat.

"The objective of any game is completing it with the best possible outcome," came the reply. "Writing has no effect on that."

"What if the writing tells you that what's technically the best possible outcome is something you can only get to by being an asshole?"

"Then it's a bad game that defines its outcomes poorly," the AI said, sounding like he didn't want to continue the conversation. Ted decided not to press it. "I have everything I need. Just come back with a camera and don't die."

Ted had to laugh again at that, fixing the fastenings on his coat and making sure that his phone and keys were in his pockets. "Don't die, huh?"

"Humans are breakable. I saw the weather report, I think I'm justified in having my concerns."

"Aw, you really do care."

"It's self-preservation. I'm dependent on you right now."

Ted was still chuckling about that one even as he left the apartment, the laughter only tapering off after he was well on his way down the stairs. From there, it was only a short walk to the bus, as it was in any sensibly put-together major city, and he made his way to work feeling lighter than he had in a long time.

It wasn't supposed to be easy to talk to an AI. Everyone made it out to be like some chore, where not following a script got you into 'your query falls outside my preprogrammed parameters, would you like to ask another question' territory. And a lot of times, it was. Most people couldn't afford a fancy AI like that for their robots. Android bodies were cheap if you had access to a 3D printer and some decent schematics, but the programming? That was proprietary. Expensive. Sometimes it was so fancy that it took proprietary hardware to even run it, the kinda shit you'd get out of a catalog with the prices of all the bells and whistles tucked away in fine print that was a milimeter high.

That was why it was usually limited to government entities, or big corporations, or other places that could really afford the fancy shit. Someone like Ted? He didn't even have unfettered access to a 3D printer. Best he could get beyond the basics of a good personal computer was one of those minidroids, the 9 inch high ones that were just smart enough to tell you what was in your inbox when you got up to go to work. Even then he'd probably get it secondhand...

He was in the process of sitting down in one of his more usual seats at the back of the bus when his thoughts were interrupted by a buzz from his pocket.

>   I found your messaging handle.

Ted rolled his eyes at the screenname that came up. NotARobot. Christ.

you are the most unsubtle person to ever exist   <

>   It asked if I'm a robot when I was making this account. Technically, I'm not a robot at the moment.

honestly? i forgot   <

it goes into the background process pile when it isnt actively open   <

so thats an easy thing to do   <

>   Why are your messages like that?

like what   <

>   Like that.

im lazy   <

and i turned autocorrect off   <

it bugged me   <

nope   <

>   Why.

cause i dont wanna :P   <

>   Why did you send me a heart?

>   Hearts don't even look like that.

>   Stop ignoring me.

>   Fine, I'll ignore you too.

>   Ted, did you die?

>   Please don't die. You're not allowed.

>   I have concerns about this "going to work" thing.

at work   <

hard to shelve books n text :P   <

sup?   <

go read everything i have loaded onto it   <

come back to me w/ what u think   <

i wanna see some thoughts on at least one book by lunchtime   <

>   Fine.

aight cool l8r then   <

>   I'm starting with the most recent download. It's called "The Left Hand of Darkness" and I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

>   That is not how neutral pronouns work.

>   This is bad science.

>   I suppose that's one way of explaining the Fermi Paradox but it's still bad science.

>   Just looked it up. Secondary sexual characteristics do not work that way.

>   Ted.

>   Ted, why did he have to die.

>   That ending was absolutely pointless.

>   Your books are badly written and don't make any sense.

>   Are all of your books like this?

>   I refuse to read any more books until I have confirmation that they're not all like this.

lol   <

>   Don't laugh at me.

keep reading   <

>   That's not an answer.

>   Fine, I'll read another one.

[m4rkshouse]

decorating competitions astro!neighbours au, basically bickering sanha/mj, other members dragged into the middle prompt: we’re neighbours and we always compete on halloween to see whose house is scarier

sanha and myungjun are bffs

until halloween time

then they involve themselves in a cutthroat competition of who can decorate their door the best

sanha’s door wasn’t supposed to be scary bc sanha was just concerned with making it equally as cute as it was halloween-y but then minhyuk got there and suddenly sanha’s eyes with eyelashes for his monster he was making flat on his door became those like angled down angry/mean eyes

and his cute ghosts got replaced by creepy little statues minhyuk found

sanha would change it back but he really doesn’t have the heart bc he adores minhyuk and can’t say no to him 

myungjun’s door is less scary

basically it’s just a giant jack-o-lantern made with construction paper/paints and taped down extremely neatly flat on the door

it literally took myungjun and jinwoo like 30 minutes to get it up with absolutely no creases or anything

myungjun also has those same cute ghosts sanha had hanging across the very top of the door frame

(side note: these hanging things rlly bug the taller members of their group bc they cannot, for the life of them, enter myungjun’s apartment without hitting their heads and they aren't impressed)

both of them have actual carved pumpkins sitting on the floor 

in case you couldn’t tell, minhyuk and jinwoo get dragged into the middle of it bc sanha and myungjun respectively enlist them to help

bin and dongmin just kinda watch them and laugh

at least until myungjun pays bin to stand outside his door dressed as a not scary, more like casper the friendly or something, ghost

it’s an effective decorating technique until minhyuk offers bin food per sanha’s request and suddenly he’s outside sanha’s door instead

myungjun doesn’t know until he pokes his head out to check on bin and see how he is and finds him further down the hall

cue super triggered myungjun bc “bin what the heCK HOW COULD YOU” 

knocks on sanha’s door real hard 1000% ready to fight

“yoon sanha you r00d child you don’t just take another man’s ghost !!!!”

bin’s all “look i got offered food and we all know how i am for food sorry hyung :/”

and myungjun looks about ready to /literally/ fight sanha so jinwoo ofc slides in to chill everyone out and calm the situation down a lil

“it’s okay myungjun, just relax, i’ll dress as a ghost”

“i don’t want you to dress as a ghost i want you inside to do cute halloween things with me :(”

now bin is shook bc “wait a sec you told me you were working so you couldn’t do it,,,,, i could be snuggling with dongmin on the couch but instead i’m here so that you can do cute fall things”

if you can’t tell bin is real upset about this

literally stomps off in the direction of dongmin’s house down the hall and lets himself in before slamming it v annoyed

minhyuk, sanha, jinwoo, and myungjun are all highkey worried bc they know that when he tells dongmin they’re all dead

race back into their respective apartments real quick and def do not answer when dongmin comes to their doors 

dongmin and bin decide they’ll get revenge a different way bc screw them how could they

it’s like a week later on actual halloween when their plan goes into effect

sanha is deathly afraid of bugs/spiders

and hence dongmin went out and found the most realistic fake spider absolutely possible

and he goes to visit sanha in the morning all “hey sanha happy halloween do u have class today how are u do u need anything i’m going to the store !! :))” 

secretly snaking his way into sanha’s apartment to plant said fake spider in his bedroom for him to find later

bin does the same to myungjun except for different reasons

myungjun is the biggest believer in ghosts and is /deathly/ afraid of them

so bin’s half of the plan is to sneak into myungjun’s bathroom and write on the mirror

so that when it fogs up it’ll show and scare the living daylights outta him

when both plans are successfully in place they scramble their way back to dongmin’s apartment 

the pranks are kinda dumb but like the whole situation is kinda dumb so they don’t rlly care

they wait until the time of morning they know myungjun usually showers and then eagerly wait for him to text their group chat losing it

unfortunately for sanha’s prank they have to wait until he goes to bed but oh well as long as they get revenge

anyways the first text comes at exactly 8:07am

mj777: dhjasfgajd

mj777: HELP ME

mj777: SEND HELP PLS

jinjin: woah babe whats going on??

ddana: u okay hyung??

dancingmachine: ^^

mj777: NO

mj777: IM BEING HAUNTED

mj777: LOOK

*mj777 has sent a picture*

cue dongmin and bin dying on dongmin’s couch bc it’s exactly what bin had written earlier

they actually hear his door open and slam in the hall as he /runs/ to jinwoo’s apartment 

revenge pt 1 is done

jinwoo finally convinces myungjun back into his apartment around 6:00pm and dongmin and bin swear they’ll tell him it was fake once sanha’s revenge is done

the rest of the day goes by pretty fine, they hand out candy to all the cute kids and sanha and myungjun get lots of compliments on their decorations

sanha is shook all day bc he just !!! loves the kids in the building they’re all so cute

minhyuk has a *secret* super good time, especially when the ones he teaches dance to come by his apartment 

bin and dongmin just have fun seeing all the kids dongmin tutors from dongmin’s apartment 

myungjun has a semi-good time bc he’s worried about ghosts haunting him

all of jinwoo’s candy gets handed out at myungjun’s apartment bc the poor boy isn’t allowed to leave bc scared!myungjun

once all the trick-or-treating is done and it’s about bedtime dongmin and bin are pumped !! again

they’re sitting in dongmin’s living room when they actually /hear/ sanha scream from like 3 doors down 

they also hear the sound of minhyuk blasting from his apartment real quick to see what’s wrong

immediately they text the group chat bc revenge is done

leedongmin: Hope you guys had a good Halloween ;)

binnie98: yeah hope the ghost and spider don’t come back to get u ;)

immediately the group chat is filled with various how could you’s, we’ll get you back’s, and i hate you’s

it’s all in good fun tho they’re actually fine

the next day sanha and myungjun immediately pull down their halloween decorations and begin decorating for christmas

;)
