Gale headcanon Part 2: Wedding Day
Part 1 Here
Galemancers, y’all really liked my first post with all of Gale’s (very likely to be real) wedding planning/day of antics.
I do think this would make for a fun fic and I wanna write it, but yours truly is not in a position to start any new projects at the time being (not saying it will never happen, just right now isn’t a good time!). However, I still wanna add more to this goofy idea of mine.
Here goes!
Wyll giving them lessons for their first dance as a married couple. It’s as hilarious as it is painful to watch. Gale has two left feet and keeps stepping on Tav’s toes. Tav cries out in pain and Gale feels awful so he conjures a rose to apologize.
G: “The Soirées in Waterdeep don’t move with such grand gestures and arduous foot work!” W: “That’s why you asked me to help you, Gale. Baldurs Gate throws magnificent parties.”
Gale keeps reading and rereading spell based cookbooks to try and whip up the reception meal in one fell swoop. He doesn’t trust a caterer and wouldn’t like the taste of anyone’s food but his own.
Tav keeps begging him to let someone else do the work since he’s stressing himself out with these small details, but all Gale does is smile and give Tav a pat on the head and a kiss on the cheek.
G: “Don’t worry about me, my love. Our day will be perfect, just like you are.” T: “I don’t want it to be perfect, I just want you to relax and have fun.”
Tav goes to a separate room to sleep the night before and finds their bed adorned with flowers and petals in heart shapes
Tav finds a note beneath all the bed decorations
“My dearest love, I write this with nervous hands and a fast-beating heart - we are almost upon our wedding day. What seems like a grand milestone is only just the beginning of an even more remarkable adventure. Our days of journeying through Faerûn may be over, but it only prepared me for the most important journey of them all: being your husband. You are everything, Tav. You have made me a better man. My connection with you is as innate as mine with magic itself. From this day forward, I will devote the rest of my life to your happiness. The beginning of that chapter is upon us both, and I am nearly bursting (despite my lack of an orb to make it so) in anticipation for it to begin. With utmost love, your soon to be husband - Gale.
Tav won’t be able to sleep so instead they read this letter over and over again 🥰
Gale lets Tav wear whatever they want on their big day and even paid for it
He just wants his bb to be at their happiest and this is the least he can do
Tav ofc hires Figaro the dressmaker and Zara the mummy to do makeup
Gale turning around and seeing his spouse for the first time the day of 🥺
He’s literally unable to breathe when he sees them walking down the aisle, however he is partly relieved because he was still anxious about Tav getting cold feet
Gale tears up as he reads his vows 🥺
Their wedding rings bearing the same gem that Tara has on her collar
Scratch is summoned 🥺 and becomes a permanent member of the Dekarios household, and even gets his own gem at the ceremony 😭
Owlbear gets the distinct honor of being ringbearer. He takes it very seriously. Because he knows he will get a snack for it later.
“Withers I would like to recruit a hireling” says Gale *puts an apron on the hirelings to have them clean up after the guests*
Halsin whittles them a pair of swans with their necks in a heart shape as their wedding gift. It becomes Tav’s most treasured knick knack in the tower.
Lae’zel gifts them a pair of swords, which is probably customary for her but not so much for couples in Faerûn (Gale fashions a coat of arms above the hearth with them anyway)
Astarion: “I am the gift.” 🙄
Tara finally begins to warm up to Tav when she fully realizes that Tav makes a great addition to the Dekarios family
Tara shows this by flying into Tavs lap and rubbing her face against Tav
Lasts for only about 30 seconds however. She can’t be seen letting her guard down to anyone.
The night ends, Gale and Tav retreat back to the tower with full hearts and a gleam in their eyes, proud of all they’d done to build their lives and excited for what comes next.
But there’s still going to be copious amounts of sex that night of course. They barely get past the threshold of the doorway before they’re ripping each other’s clothes off.
They’re drunk, but not just because they’ve had a few drinks. Love drunk, adrenaline drunk, life drunk.
“They deserve this night, after all they’ve been through,” Karlach says to Wyll as they are walking back to the portal to Avernus.
“Some day that will be us,” Wyll replies proudly.

Part 1
Tumblr media
Billy and Stu sat down on your couch watching you down a full glass of water. You had told them you needed to have a talk which did nothing but tear at their nerves. With a click, you set the empty glass on the counter. "So," The phone began to ring cutting you off.
"Hello?" You pulled the receiver up to your ear. It was your dad. He called once a day to check up on you and Stu. With a sigh, you held out the phone. "He wants to talk to you." Stu smiled grabbing the phone from your hand. "How's it going Mr. L/n?" Stu grabbed the whole phone off the table sitting back on the couch with it. Billy pushed Stu's feet off his legs when the boy tried to use him as a footstool.
"No way! You didn't have to get me anything." Both you and Billy rolled your eyes. Every day your dad called and spent at least 30 minutes talking to Stu. When he first came over you were terrified of what your dad would think of your friend. Now you would pay him money just to dislike him a little bit. It bugged Billy to no end. Your dad didn't know of Billy's existence but he was best friends with Stu. He loudly laughed thinking what your dad said was hilarious. "Give me the phone." Stu looked up at you holding out your hand. "Sorry man Y/n wants the phone back." Your father because of his job and other factors had no one but you to talk to but you. When Stu came along and they got to know each other your dad felt like he was a kid again. Stupid jokes and random music trivia were all the two men talked about.
"Hey, Dad I'm kind of in the middle of something." Both boys on the couch made a face knowing that didn't sound the best. You pulled the phone away as your dad barked through the device. "I didn't mean it like that. We're trying to talk about school." Billy looked over at his partner. Was that all this was about? If so he had nothing to worry about. Now if this serious talk you had to have was about what he said earlier that day then things weren't looking too good for the boy.
"Yes, I'll call you back later and tell you all about today. Yeah okay, I love you too." You sat the phone down ending the call. "Maybe I can actually talk now." You said with a forced laugh. Your boyfriends did nothing but stare at you with concerned faces. Tough crowd. "I have had a wonderful week with you two. It's honestly been amazing."
"But?" Stu asked knowing Billy fucked this up for both of them. "But you two need to move back home." Stu immediately got upset. His hands covered his face trying to keep his composure. Billy just sat quietly like a dog who knew he was in trouble. "It's what he said isn't it?" Stu asked with a huff. You didn't think he'd throw his friend under the bus like that but here you were. "Not entirely. I'm not even really that upset about it anymore. I just think we need some time apart. Get used to going back to school and being normal kids."
"Would you stop using that word?" Stu snapped. You scrunched your face in confusion. "What word?" If you wanted "normal" neither he nor Billy could ever dream of giving it to you. Stu jumped up off the couch in disbelief. "We're not normal. We're fucked in the head. Like hello?" He shook his hands gesturing to the both of them comically.
"You said we were supposed to have conversations. Talk about things as a group but you're just making decisions." Considering this was your home you thought you had the right to tell them to leave. "I know you're upset that's why we need to separate for a bit. We're all becoming dependent on each other. First, me and Billy fought and now we're getting into it. Maybe we've been around each other too long?" You tried to rationalize the situation but it did no good. Not only did Stu feel like he was losing you he was also losing the home he felt he had. He'd have to go back to the horror house that he'd grown to hate. Billy stayed silent. "This is all your fucking fault." Stu pointed at the boy on the couch hanging his head in shame. "Get off my ass," Billy mumbled in response knowing he played a big part in your decision. "No fuck that man!" Stu shouted pointing at the man still sitting. You held up your hands trying to stop the beginning of a fight. "Stu this isn't his fault. I just need space."
That was a worse word than "normal". Space meant drifting apart and drifting apart meant this would be over. "My dad is usually home one week out of the month. You two can come and go as you, please. I'm just saying we shouldn't live together. Hell, we can have sleepovers if you want to. I'll paint your nails and do your hair but you can't stay here. You knew this wouldn't last forever."
It was true. He thought about the day he'd have to leave almost every night this past week. The reminder made him sick like a kid during the last week of summer break. You walked over wrapping your arms around Stu. Billy watched as guilt pooled in his heart. Stu looked pathetic, his face red trying to stop himself from crying.
You pulled away from Stu as he shook his head trying to fling the tears from his eyes. The plan he just came up with made Billy's skin crawl but he knew it'd help speed up the healing process. Stu's back stiffened as his lover hugged him. It was an intimate act Stu hadn't had the pleasure of receiving from Billy. "What the fuck?" Stu mouthed silently as you shrugged. Billy didn't understand how you made changing for others look so easy. He could lie and charm his way into getting anything he wanted. Afterward, he went right back to being the shitty teenager Stu fell for. Stu gave and Billy took that's how the relationship worked before you showed up.
Stu seemed to melt into Billy's embrace. Billy wasn't sure why he had such a disdain for hugs or other physical contact. It wasn't the feeling itself, no the closeness was what the boy craved. It could've been the fear of getting used to the touch. If sex was what he needed he could go out anywhere and get it. The same moans and sweat, nothing different. His partner's touch, however, that he couldn't get anywhere else.
He feared that this was it. You and Stu would ruin anyone else for him. You'd both eat away at his brain like maggots driving him insane. He still wasn't sure if this "thing" was love but he was damn sure it was destructive.
"I'm sorry for shouting," Stu said once Billy dropped his arms. "It's okay." You reassured watching Billy sit back down as if nothing happened. "Can we spend one more night?" The sorrowful-filled question made you giggle. You were infatuated with two of the most over-dramatic men in the world. "Stu, this is not the end of the world. You sound like you won't wake up tomorrow. Things are gonna be fine. I promise. Billy help me out here." You looked over to the boy with his head down.
Billy cleared his throat. "She's right. You're being overdramatic." You frowned as the boy grinned. That's not at all the kind of reinforcement you asked him for. "Oh, I'm overdramatic? You woke me up the other night listening to Stevie Nicks sing about fucking landslides on repeat. Not to mention your ass was crying." Billy stood up pointing a finger at Stu. "Don't bring Fleetwood Mac into this that's different and you know it." His voice was deep and serious which only made it funnier. You smiled thinking about the fact he was listening to your song over and over. "Guys go get washed up so we can start dinner." You dismissed them both with a grin on your face.
The night continued with you being strangely happy. Both men noticed. The hateful things Billy said to you at school were practically erased from your brain. You had this image of Billy sitting in front of the record player listening to a song he knew you loved. Listening to it over and over trying to remember every word of it because you loved it.
That on top of the fact you had Stu wound so tight that the idea of being away from you was upsetting. This was his home and you were his girlfriend. It wasn't a possessive thing to you. You were happy they depended on you. After all these years you had people who cared about you. They could rely on you and you hoped you could rely on them without having to bail someone out of jail.
"Ow fuck!" Stu cursed pulling his hand back from the hot stove. Before you could help Billy stepped in. "You're such a dumbass give me your hand." Billy shook his head as he ran Stu's hand under some cold water. You watched silently not wanting to disturb the two. You wondered how they lived together before you came along. Based on how you thought of them you assumed Billy would be demanding and hateful to his roommate. While Stu was probably clingy and loud. You were wrong. They were just two confused lovesick teenagers. Sure they had obvious flaws but deep down they weren't much different from the other kids.
"Babe, where do you keep your bandaids?" Billy asked noticing you staring off into space. "Oh um, there's some under my bathroom sink." With a nod, he went off toward your bedroom. "Something's different about him," Stu said striking up a conversation with you. You walked over to stir the mac and cheese.
"What do you mean?" Stu moved his head back and forth because he couldn't gesture with his hands. "He's happy can't you tell?" You couldn't help but scoff. If that was Billy happy then you'd pay money to see him elated. "I'm being serious, he's upset about what he said to you today but you haven't noticed how happy he's been this past week?" It hadn't occurred to you that Stu knew Billy way more than you did. You assumed Billy's helpful nature was just something everyone had to stick around long enough to see. "He's not like that all the time?" Stu couldn't believe you were that oblivious.
Billy was sweet but he was never comfortable. Always afraid of someone walking in, seeing or hearing something they shouldn't. Just a few months ago Billy would've told Stu how to help his hand. He might've even wetted a rag before tossing it at Stu. He was kind but never close. If the two had sex Billy had to flick the lock on the door several times making sure it was locked. The lights would be dim and they would both try to be quiet. The simple hug Stu got from Billy earlier almost sent the boy into shock. That was another reason why leaving your house killed him. He was scared of losing all the progress he had made with his partner.
"You know if somebody robs this place they're going after money, not your bandaids," Billy said walking down the steps. You moved away from Stu starting to set the table. "They were right in the front." Billy laughed at your response as he ripped open the package with his teeth. "You had them crammed behind towels, hairspray, makeup, should I go on?" You shook your head at his exaggeration. Stu looked over at you making sure you took note of Billy's behavior that night. With the package open he dried off Stu's hand placing the bandaid on top of his burn. "That's going to blister so don't pick at it." Billy flicked the wound smiling when Stu winced.
To you, it was a rude thing to do but Stu knew it was how Billy showed affection. "Thanks, pal!" Stu said sarcastically holding his hand. "Anytime." Eventually, you all sat down eating dinner rather quietly. It finally dawned on everyone there that the boys were going home. If Stu's parents were still home Billy would just sneak through his window. Both men knew why Billy stayed away from his own home.
"So..." You spoke trying to break the sad silence. What Dewey told you to do was easier said than done. "Do you two have any plans this week?" That was a normal question, right? Both boys looked at each other in amusement. "Not anymore," Stu said with a scoff. It was petty but you knew he'd get over it eventually.
"I'll probably stop by the video store on the way to Stu's place and stock up on movies for the week." Billy shrugged before taking another bite of his food. A look of confusion appeared on your face. You huffed out a laugh realizing that they couldn't separate. "I thought your parents were still home?" Stu waved you off with a laugh. "Since when has that stopped me? He'll just crawl through my window like he always does." Billy elbowed his partner making the boy groan.
You couldn't help but feel a little upset that you'd be alone while the two of them spent time together. Billy started to smirk as he saw the look on your face. "Having second thoughts?" He asked thinking your jealousy was amusing. "No, I still think time apart will do us good." You stood your ground. "Why the switch up? I mean all week you seemed so happy with us and now you want us out. I get it if it's because of what he said but you're not even mad at him." Stu gestured to his lover and Billy had no objection. He was just as curious as Stu was.
Thinking of something to say without putting Dewey's name out was difficult. You liked Billy and Stu but you didn't trust them not to do something stupid. "Honestly? School was hell for me. The whole fucking place thinks I was sleeping with you and Tatum found out so we somehow murdered everyone."
Both men had heard the infamous rumor. Stu found the idea of you killing everyone rather funny while Billy was concerned with your reputation. "I- I've been looked at and talked about all day and then the one person who treated me with respect you lost your mind over him." You pointed at Billy as you spoke your last sentence. "I just don't want you getting hurt is all." He wasn't lying Billy knew better than anyone that men almost always had ulterior motives. When he first saw you walk into his 7th period his immediate thought was what you looked like under that dress.
You rolled your eyes taking a sip of your drink. "I've got to agree with him we're not the only fucked up people in Woodsboro. What if you became friends with Ted Bundy?" Stu raised his eyebrows with a shrug trying to add dramatics to his point. "If I told you two that some guy was bothering me what would you do? And be honest."
Billy laughed at the question. "If you think we have no self-restraint-" Stu spoke up cutting his friend off. "Kill him." With an open palm, you held out your hand gesturing towards Stu. Billy pinched the bridge of his nose. "What? Did I say something wrong?" Of course, Stu didn't understand how barbaric his statement was. "I'd talk to him. If he doesn't listen, well then we'd cross that bridge when we get to it." Billy's answer was better than Stu's but you weren't too sure of the truth behind it. "I just want to have friends. I don't care if you two have friends."
"That's a lie!" Stu said slapping a hand on the table. Billy looked over at the boy causing a scene. "You would be jealous as shit if me and Billy had girl friends." Billy's tongue prodded the inside of his cheek as he raised his eyebrows at you. It pained you that Stu was right. Earlier that day seeing Stu surrounded by those girls made your blood boil. "Okay fine. What if I introduced you to Chase and his girlfriend? They could sit with us at lunch."
"No that's our spot," Billy said matter of factly. "We've always sat there." Stu chimed in. "You don't have to move I'm just saying they could come over and sit for one day." Neither of the boys was persuaded. You groaned. Getting them to open up was like pulling teeth. "Come on guys just this once. Please..." You puffed out your bottom lip making Billy cringe. The act made Stu melt. You were adorable in his eyes.
Billy still wasn't impressed. You stood up walking over to the boy. Slowly you leaned down whispering something in his ear that would make a sailor blush with shame. "You're a bitch." Billy sighed as you smiled. "I know!" You chirped earning a high five from Stu.
"How does it feel to be pussy whipped Billy Loomis?" Stu spoke into an invisible microphone holding his fist out to Billy. You giggled watching the two get on each other's nerves. "At least I get pussy Macher." Billy raised his eyebrows with a smile. "You always have to hurt me!" Stu cried hiding his face from the boy. "Mrs. Brady here would be happy to lend me some, wouldn't you sweetheart?" Stu batted his eyelashes up at you. You started to clean off the table as the new nickname bounced around your head. "Mrs. Brady?" You laughed raking off the plates into the garbage. "I'm trying it out." He shrugged getting up to help you.
After dinner, you and the boys ended up on the living room floor cuddling while Mallrats played on the TV. Courtesy of the one and only Stu Macher. Billy's back rested against the couch while his arm was draped over your shoulder. Stu chose to rest his head on your stomach laughing every time it made an odd noise.
Little things like this made you question what exactly you wanted. You loved them you were positive. Part of you hated yourself because of it. It was too soon and you were just seniors in high school. You weren't sure if the voice in your head was you or Dewey talking. That discussion with him really bothered you. You wanted to ignore him and continue this little fantasy you had all made out but you knew he was right.
Once the movie ended you helped the boys pack their bags. "I'm calling you when I get home." Stu's words let you know that even though he was gone he made sure it felt like he never left. "I look forward to it." You kissed him for what felt like the first time. Billy smiled partly because the two of you were cute and the other part because he knew he was next. You pulled away from Stu helping him grab all of his bags.
"Don't think I'd forget about you." You grinned before kissing Billy just like you had Stu. His hands found your waist hoping to buy him and his lover some time. Your collar grew hot as his lips trailed down your jaw. "Okay okay, that's enough." Stu stomped his foot. "Damn it! It was just getting good." Billy had a stupid smile on his face making you roll your eyes.
"You two are perverts." You said as Billy started to pack out his luggage throwing it in the back of his car. "And you, my little freak are into it." Stu kissed your forehead making your cheeks grow warm. "Whatever." Stu picked up his bags throwing them next to his friends. "Drive safe okay?" You leaned on the door frame watching the two boys get into the car. "No promises." Billy laughed starting up the car. "I'll miss you!" Stu shouted hanging out of the car window. "I bet."
You watched the car disappear down the street. Dewey had heard Stu's shouting drawing him towards his window. The deputy didn't think you'd follow his advice. Sure enough, there went Loomis and Macher down the road. With a smile, Dewey closed his blinds getting back to his paperwork.

I saw someone ask for this, and I want it as-well so Im writing it
Finnick and reader (y/n) screwing in the arena as a “fuck you” to the capitol.
A final, fuck you
Annie doesn’t exist, quarter quel, no established relationships, just enemies to lovers, sexual tension and an axe to grind
Warnings: cursing, smut, angst, hunger games so yk, violence, mentions of prostitution, porn with a little plot, If you wanna skip there I’ll put a huge red heart right before ❤️❤️‍🔥🩷❣️
Backstory: reader is 23, district 4 won 70th games, family was killed,
“Look at you,” you turn around to see Finnick, and turn away covering your eyes. “You know there are children watching this Odair, wanna put some clothes on? Or leave anything to the imagination?” You say, “ouch, feisty.” He retorts, tossing a sugar cube up catching it between his teeth. “What are you? 12?” You say rolling my eyes at him. God he is such a peacock, and it pisses you off so much. He just thinks he is god’s gift to man. “12 inches deep in your mom.” He says playing into the character. You try my best not to laugh, and Finnick can tell, “you wanna laugh and you know it.” He says, a smirk on his face. “Funny, hilarious actually, it almost made me not want to kill myself.” You roll your eyes, regaining your composure. “Well, we wouldn’t want that now would we, who would be the pretty girl on my arm?” He says eyeing me up and down, “we are wearing the same thing (y/n). You have no leverage here.” He says. “Yes, it seems ive lost my clothes, usually its just you dressed like a whore, i mean if the shoe fits.” You fire back, now it was your turn to smirk, “what? Cat got your tung?” His face falls, he looks, angry? He pulls you in so no one else can hear him. “Look (y/n), you dont know shit.” He whispers harshly, his grip on your arm tightening, his nails digging into the skin, you like the feeling. “So i’ll give you a warning, shut the fuck up.” He finishes before pulling away, his facade back on. “After you m’lady,” he says, a fake smile that looks teasing now, as he holds out a hand to help you into the carriage.
After that interaction meals are quiet, you had quit trying to talk with him, focusing on the task ahead, getting out of that arena, one way or another.
“(Y/n)?” Your stylist, Ines says snapping you back to the present, “what?” You ask. “Never-mind,” she says, waving if off. You’re about to enter the tube that will take you to the arena. “30 seconds remaining.” The speaker says. I step into the tube. “Good luck,” Ines says. “20 seconds remaining.” “Thank you,” you reply, “10 seconds” the tube closes, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” You start to move up. Sun hits your face, as your eyes ajust to the light you look around. Water, you’re completely surrounded by water, well, you know who this arena favors. You get ready as the count down starts. “60 seconds” you look around, Beetee and Chaff are on either side of you. “50 seconds” you look at the cornucopia, you’re facing it’s mouth, there are throwing knives relatively close to you. “40 seconds” you look for Johanna, the two of you made an alliance, she is your best friend and if you’re dying you wanted it to be with her. “30 seconds” you spot her, she is already looking at you. “20 seconds,” you get ready to dive into the water. “10,” you’re shaking, “9” This is really happening, “8” fuck. “7” just get to the cornucopia, “6” Dive as far out as you can, “5” get onto the rocks, “4” run as fast as you can, “3” dont trip “2” you’re ready, “1” shit. The cannon booms, you dive in, you pull myself onto the rocks and start running, not looking anywhere but forward. You make it to the cornucopia and grab the knives and the belt. The first cannon goes off, you look for Jo, and spot her, you run towards her, “Fight them off, Ill get Beetee and Wirus!” She yells, you throw your knife, it finds it’s way into a tribute’s chest, cannon, you throw a few more. “LETS GO!” You shout to Jo, “ok come on follow me!” She starts down a strip of rock, you dive in swimming along side her. You all make it to the beach and run into the cover of the jungle.
“Ok wait stop.” You say after a few minutes of running, “lets stop here and talk strategy.” “Good idea,” says Jo. “I think we should play evasive until we have no choice.” Says Beetee. You all agree. After a minute or two of talking Blight talks, “ok, lets keep moving, we’ll walk as far into the jungle as we can.” He says, “alright, take the lead.” You say, motioning for him to start. Jo and you bring up the rear, half defending half talking and joking. “Would you two focu-” blight starts to say but he is cut off. “RAIN!” You scream, tilting your face to the sky, but something is off, Jo notices it aswell, you all exchange confused looks. “Oh shit.” You say with Jo. Suddenly the ‘rain’ turns into down pour, but its not rain, its blood. Thick hot blood. You can barley see in-front of of you. Jo grabs your hand “RUN!” blight screams, starting to run forward, you start to follow as best you can but he hits something. It throws him back. “WAIT WAIT! STOP!” Beetee screams, “its a force field, other way!” He screams, the cannon goes off. “Damn it!” Jo screams, you turn around. Stumbling blind, you trudge through the jungle, only knowing where the others are by hearing their voices. “THE BEACH! I SEE THE BEACH!” Jo screams, and you follow her voice.
You get to the beach around the same time as Jo. You hug each-other, a few seconds later Beetee emerges with Wirus. She is freaking out, you all are covered in blood. As Jo tries to coax Wirus out of the tree line you are checking the surroundings. “JOHANNA!” You hear, you turn drawing a knife, its just Finnick. But you dont put the knife back tho. “FINNICK!” She screams back. He starts running to her. Sometimes you can’t believe they are friends. As you look past, you see Katniss and Peeta, you clutch your knife tighter seeing she has her bow drawn. Johanna starts explaining the situation to Finnick, but Wirus starts getting on Jo’s nerves, who is already stressed out and pissed off. “Tik tok, tik tok,” she repeats over and over like a mad woman grabbing Jo. “OKAY OKAY!” Jo screams pushing her off. “Hey, HEY, LEAVE HER ALONE!” Katniss screams running up and pushing Jo, she draws an arrow. You look around, Peeta, perfect! You draw your dagger and before anyone can react you put him in a headlock, holding the dagger to his throat. “HEY!” You scream, Katniss turns, aiming her bow at you.“Let him go.” She comands, as if she has any authority in the situation. “Leave Jo the fuck alone, we just ran through fucking blood!” You yell back. She fires her arrow, but you dodge out of the way taking Peeta with you. “Shoot it again, I fucking dare you! This time, I’ll move lover boy right in the line of fire, try me!” You scream at her, pressing the knife harder into Peeta’s neck. He puts his hands up in surrender. “Woah woah, calm down.” Finnick says stepping in between the two of you. “Dont tell me to ‘calm down’! SHE HAS A KNIFE TO PEETA’S TROAT!” Katniss screams at Finnick, “How about we all put our weapons down,” Peeta says, pleading to Katniss. “Shut up.” You sneer, moving your knife to tilt his head up. “Ok look, Katniss, she just thought you were gonna hurt Jo, are you gonna hurt Jo?” Finnick asks Katniss, telling her the right answer, “No.” She says, arrow still in place. Finnick exhales, Katniss must realize your too good to be stubborn with. “See, now, (y/n) let Peeta go,” he says. “I’ll drop my dagger, but im not letting him go till she drops the bow.” You drop the knife. “Katniss, will you please drop your bow?” Finnick says, he knows, you’ll kill him, right here, right now, and that’s exactly what he needs to not happen. She drops her bow. “If you try anything I swear to god i’ll snap your fuckin neck.” You whisper in his ear, he nods. You let him go, with hands still in the air he walk to katniss. “Okay, good, we’re all stressed lets just cool off,” Finnick says walking to you. “Im fine,” you say grabbing your dagger. “No your not, your mad and you’re gonna do something stupid.” He says grabbing you and throwing you over his shoulder. “FINNICK! FINNICK WHAT THE FUCK! PUT ME DOWN- I SWEAR TO GOD ILL KILL YOU!” You scream squirming around. “Calm down” he says dunking you in the water a few times before straight up dropping you into it. You stand up, wiping the water from your eyes, still pissed off, just at him. He laughs, “god you know, you look so… cute when your mad.” He says, still laughing. “Oh fuck off Odair.” You say turning away from him. You wash the blood off as he turns and walks back to the beach. Jo joins you, washing the blood off her. Once you are both done yall go back to the beach, sitting together on the sand.
Some time passes, “Im gonna go get water.”you say getting up and walking into the jungle. Really you just wanna be alone for a little. It peaceful until you hear a scream, it’s Katniss’s name, but its not a tribute. “PRIM” you hear her scream in the distance, shit. You try and ignore it, not your circus, not your monkeys. You hear another scream. “FINNICK!” “FINNICK HELP ME!” What? But thats not possible, you’re not screaming. But its your voice. “(Y/N)” you hear him scream back. “DAMNIT ODAIR!” You scream to no one in particular, your circus, your monkeys. You run towards the screams but run, into a wall? But it’s clear, and it doesn’t throw you back like the force field did with Blight, you cant hear any screams anymore. “(Y/N)! Over here!” Jo beckons to you. You walk over to her. “What is this?” You quickly regret asking as Beetee starts going on about some science stuff. “Okay, okay.” Jo says cutting him off. You look to see Katniss on the ground covering he ears as birds swoop in. “Jabber-Jays, DAMNIT, I HATE SNOW! FUCK YOU, CANT YOU JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY! HOW ABOUT YOU COME DOWN HERE AND WE CAN FIGHT YOU PUSSY!” You scream up at the sky, Jo is smiling, Wirus is mentally gone, Peeta is staring at you like you’ve lost your mind and Beete is just not saying anything. “Finnick flipped out when he heard your screams,” Jo says sitting beside you. Finnick is currently on the ground as well, but he looks up for a brief moment, long enough to see you, and you see some of the worry in his face leave, you look back at Jo but he stays staring at you. You look at Jo, a look of confusion on your face but you know exactly what’s going on because you’ve felt is aswell.
❤️
The hour is up, you run up to Finnick, holding his head, “shit, im so sorry” you say, he straightens hugging you back, it’s strong, and he smells like the ocean. Katniss is worried about her sister, “they aren’t gonna do anything to Prim.” Peeta says. “He’s right ya know, the whole country  loves your sister, if they ever did anything to her, forget the districts, there would be riots in the damn capitol. HEY HOW DOES THAT SOUND SNOW? WHAT IF WE, WHAT IF WE SET YOUR BACKYARD ON FIRE? YA KNOW YOU CANT PUT EVERYBODY IN HERE!” Jo screams, waving her axe around. Katniss and Peeta stare at her in absolute terror, its almost funny. “What? He can’t hurt me. There’s no one left that I love.” She says, “im gonna go get some water.” She leaves. “Lets go scout out the area Finnick,” you say. The two of you get up and walk away. You walk for a few minutes in silence before Finnick breaks it. “Im so fucking ma-” but you cut him off, backing against a tree and pulling him with you into a kiss. Its rough and passionate but hungry. “Fuck,” you pant out. “God you’re hot,” he says kissing down your neck. “Wait, what about the Capitol?” You say before he draws a whine from you, sucking on a sweet spot. “Fuck them, now they’ll know how I really feel.” His voice is low and raspy, his eyes filled with lust. You pull his zipper to the wetsuit down revealing his abs and arms and fuck, he might be god’s gift to you. “Is this really, the best, place?” You say in between pants and moans as he peels the wetsuit off your body, grabbing your breasts and massaging them, making you push back into the tree throwing your head back in pleasure. “I dont want to die never having done this with you sweetheart.” He growls into the crest of your neck. “Mhm oh god, me neither.” You say as you feel his bulge against your stomach. On instinct you start to grind on it. “Fuck thats it.” He says, groaning as he throws his head back in pleasure, “please,” you whine, he brings the rest of your wetsuit down and picks you up, wrapping your legs around his waist. You shimmy his suit down the rest of the way, pulling him out. He groans at the contact, “Fuck, you’ve hardly touched me and look at how worked up I am,” he says, lining up with you. “Oh darling, you’re so fuckin wet for me” he coos, running his tip along my slit eliciting a whimper from you as you grab his hair. He pushes into you with a groan. “You feel so good (Y/n)” he says, moaning your name. It sounds so right coming from his mouth. You clench around him and he lets out a loud groan, his nails digging into your arm, you like it, so much more this time. “Fuck, Finn,” you whine out. “Yea good girl, say my name, tell them all who’s making you feel so good, im making you mine (y/n)” he groans, thrusting into you faster and your moaning and whimpering around him, he feels so good, so so good, “so so so good, finn, mhm dont stop.” You whine out, yanking his hair harder, closing your eyes. “Open those pretty eyes for me,” you whine in protest, “now or I stop.” He forces your eyes open, looking into his as he fucks you harder, hitting all the right spots, getting all the best noises. You can feel how close you are, and so can he. “Finnickk.” You whine out, “I know, me too,” he grunts out, moving his hand to rub your aching clit, “yes, right there, please oh god oh god FIN!” You cry out as you cum for him, “fuck sweetheart you sound so pretty, you feel so good.” You whine and your hips buck up trying to get away from the overstimulation, “Finnickkk, please I can’t,” you whimper out, still shaking from your first orgasm, “Im close sweetheart.” He says his pace picking up, his fingers still working your clit. He hits the spot deep in you that has you seeing stars. You moan his name, as a second orgasm hits you, “Oh god Finnick, finnick,” you moan his name like a chant it feels so good, “Im gonna cum (y/n)” he grunts out, his thrusts getting sloppy before he cums inside of you, moaning your name and burying his face in your neck as he thrusts in a few more times. “God, you did so so good sweetheart” he pants out.
You both regain your dignity before turning to face up and flipping off the world. A final fuck you to the capitol.
The end, hope you liked it ❤️
Funny story, as I was writing the smut while my playlist was on shuffle, Ronan by Taylor Swift started playing, so I had to take a break and cry. 😃 so if the smut sucks thats why, it killed my mood. Then my cat came in and needed my attention.

hii, can you write some angst to fluff for mat? like maybe they get in a fight, someone gets the silent treatment but they makeup at the end :)
GRAND ROMANTIC APOLOGY GESTURE
my favorite thing is angst to fluff. is that weird?
tw: mentions of the isles wags vests, two curse words (shit, hell)
when your fight had happened the day before he was supposed to leave for carolina, it was over something small and it really was pointless.
looking back as you watched game one in the series, it was pointless and you were regretting it, "it was so stupid." you ranted.
"what was it about?" emma asked.
you frowned, missing your friend and wanting her there in person, "he keeps leaving the dishes in the sink overnight and then they smell and i had a bad day so i overexagerated and it was stupid and now i regret it."
"and now he's not even there so you can't apologize." she completed your sentence.
"exactly." you nodded.
"well, there is a pretty crazy way you could apologize." she suggested.
"what are you thinking, emma beauvillier?" you asked, jokingly knowing she hated it.
"i hate it when you do that." she sighed.
you laughed, "all right, seriously, what are you thinking?"
"well, you could always surprise him." she suggested.
"surprise him in carolina?"
"well, yeah, i mean, he's not expecting it."
"and what if the game goes bad and they lose and he doesn't want to see me."
"then don't meet up with him and pretend you were never there."
"okay, that sounds awful."
"well, you never know if you don't try." she shrugged.
"fine, looking for flights to raleigh, north carolina." you grabbed your laptop and began your search.
by the next day, mid afternoon, you were sitting in the airport, anxiously waiting for your flight to board. somehow, you had found an easy flight from new york to raleigh, then from raleigh back to new york on quick notice.
when you landed on raleigh, you were greeted by the other emma, who had traveled with the team to support them. a few other girls were there, but they weren't aware of your surprise.
the day of the game, you got ready and were given your vest. when you found your seats with the rest of the other girls, they were all surprised to see you there.
"what're you doing here? thought you were staying home." you explained your story to the others, who found it hilarious.
the second period was almost over, like 30 seconds left almost over, and the game was still 2-1, canes in the lead. the canes caught the flying puck and threw it down, then another canes player shot it, hoping to shoot it to a teammate, but pelech was the one who caught it.
he skated past center ice, then shot it over to mat, who took the shot, with 21 seconds left, and shot it into the net and you jumped up, eyes wide with shock as you watched him skate around and get his high fives.
"holy shit!" you shouted, watching the replay on the big screen as he went down the bench and got high fives. you whipped out your phone and filmed the replay and the celly.
the game went into overtime, and the canes did end up winning, but all you could think about was mat's goal. the canes were winning the series, but ti was only game 2 and you had confidence in your boys.
you followed the other girls down to the tunnel and waited for them to come out of the locker room. one by one, they filed out.
mat finally came out and was talking to pierre. when pierre saw you, he smirked and that caught mat off guard and he followed pierre's line of sight over to you.
"what the hell?" he set his stuff down and wrapped his arms around you as you approached him, "what're you doing here?" pierre patted him on the back as he greeted his girlfriend.
"well, i felt like a douchebag on how we left things, so i deicded to surprise you and apologize."
"well, i can't stay mad at you when you fly out to surprise me in a big surprise gesture." he smiled, leaning down and meeting your lips.
"i'm really sorry mat." you pulled away, a frown on your face, "i didn't mean to go off on you. you didn't deserve that."
"all is forgiven." he couldn't stop smiling.
"and i'm also sorry about the loss."
"it's only game 2." he sounded hopeful and sad at the same time.
"you're gonna do it, i know it." you smiled, cupping his cheeks and kissing him again.
"thanks for surprising me." he hugged you again, leaning his head on your shoulder, "now let's get out of here before they kick us out." he set you down then wrapped an arm around your shoulders with one arm while the other held his bags.
"well, now we can let emma know her idea worked." you leaned your head on his shoulder.
"emma who? emma s? like, tito's emma?"
"yeah, she suggested this."
"well, let's send her a fruit basket or something."
you laughed, "i'll get right on that." you nodded.

I was wondering because gamepress and reddit just make me even more confused , but which modules in your opinion are most worth getting to level 3? not asking you to list out all of them but like which few are most notable that come to mind
The ones on your favorites : )
But seriously though, off the top of my head there are a few special standouts
Mostima's -8 DP cost module is probably the most famous one, turning a unit once infamously known as the worst 6 star into a legitimately good control unit by giving her a minor but global range movement speed reduction (so it ignores enemies immune to slow!) and a 90% movement speed reduction when inside the range of her S3. Probably the biggest change a module upgrade has given.
All the Abyssal Hunters, because the AH team is hilariously broken, but Gladiia's is especially so. The backbone of the whole AH team, her module bizarrely extends the 25% reduced Abyssal Hunter damage taken vs Seaborn enemies into ALL enemies, and then ups it to 30%. On someone already considered the strongest Free unit. Why not.
Dusk's -8 DP cost module was a massive upgrade from her horrible first module. The upgrades increase the strength of her freelings while every freeling on the field gives her 1 SP every 1.5s, dramatically improving her own S3 recharge time. While not as directly powerful as Mostima's S3 affecting even invincible and invisible enemies, Dusk's module is a gamechanger for Caster-only squads and also makes her a powerful summoner in her own right.
Ch'en's +10% skill damage module upgrades her SP talent significantly, for her allies at Level 2, and for herself at Level 3. She now charges her S3 so fast that even without attacking any enemies it's only somewhat slower than if it had just been a per second SP charge skill instead of per attack. Swordmasters are defined by their powerful nuking skills, so Ch'en spamming hers more often is already a big upgrade, but helping everyone else with ATK and DEF recovery skills too gives her a special niche.
Ethan's is weirdly strong for some reason, because instead of just buffing the bind time or the bind chance, the module buffs both while also adding a 20% movement speed reduction on top of it, making an incredibly powerful module overall (and it's on a 4 star so it's also super cheap!)
Lin's is a must-have because the base effect alone has stupid synergy with her S3 (basically, it raises the damage needed to break the shield to a ridiculous 1,200 phys ATK), but the upgrades increase both her SP gain and her talent proc chance, meaning she's both nigh invincible during S3 AND charges it super fast when under fire. It's kind of wild actually.
There are way more that are worth to fully upgrade too (some of them have huge numbers like Aak, Dorothy, and Rosa, others make someone significantly better inside their niche like Hellagur) but these are the first few I'd recommend!

The Kit Kat Trilogy - A Dieter Bravo Mini Series
Dieter Bravo x f!reader
Tumblr media
What started out as a special Christmas one-shot accidentally turned into a mini series, so I thought I should collate them into a Dieter collection - The Kit Kat Trilogy if you will.
Rating: Explicit 18+ minors dni
Summary: A collection of three stories around our beloved, dreadfully scruffy, sweary Hollywood heartthrob. Let's fall in love with a chaos demon.
Series content: Either present day city in the UK, or a bit of time travel back to post-indie sleaze UK in 2013, heavy on the British slang, soft and squishy Dieter, age gap but no specific age of Dieter mentioned (either: 18/late 30's or 28/late 40’s), lots alcohol and explicit drug references, cigarettes, mention cheating/infidelity, no physical descriptions of reader except she has hair and there are outfit descriptions, much swearing, some fluff, some smut; unprotected PIV (not advised team, we really have no idea where Dieter has been), oral (f and m receiving), fingering, very light dirty talk, pet name (angel), couple of playful slaps, and just a note we’re always very fleabag coded here. Let me know if I missed anything.  
A/N: It's your Dieter rom com, actually! I loved writing these two so much, they are both deeply unserious, quite chaotic, often hilarious, soulmates. Our girl and her beautiful trash panda. I hope you enjoy the journey of reconnection and mild romantic peril, a trilogy I didn't know I was going to write but I was in rom com state of bliss every minute of.
You can read each of these as a one shot if you would prefer!
Thank you so much to the Dieter Bravo Brainrot club (love to @sp00kymulderr & @chronically-ghosted + @ghotifishreads ) for the encouragement in my Dieter normalcy.
Tag for peeps i thought would be interested, but let me know if you'd like me to remove: @lowlights @rosellarecommends @gwendibleywrites @fuckyeahdindjarin @merlinsearsarebeloved @amyispxnk @survivingandenduring @angelofsmalldeathandthecodeine @theywhowriteandknowthings @readingiskeepingmegoing
The Kit Kat Trilogy - Dieter Bravo Stories
Can be read as a series or single one shots.
🌟Part 1: One More Sleep
Summary: You shagged Dieter Bravo one time ten years ago and now he’s coming for Christmas. That’s it, that’s the idea.
🌟Part 2: A bad idea, right
Summary: Hooking up with Dieter Bravo is always a good idea, right?
🌟 Prequel: I knew you were trouble
Summary: 2013 Dieter Bravo crashes into your pub and your life (or prequels are sexy)
💫 Bonus Drabble: A very Dieter Wedding
Summary: A special Valentine’s Drabble with the wedding of the year. Maybe.
Thank you so much to everyone who has read and shared the love for these stories, it is so appreciated and makes being here so much fun.

10 Ways to Turn Revision Into an Adventure
Tumblr media
For some of us, revision may be your next big challenge during Camp. Sounds a little intimidating, doesn’t it? Well, have no fear! NaNo participant Madison Vaughn-Parra is here to make revision fun! So… you’ve got yourself a first draft. Perhaps it’s years worth of work, or perhaps it was the product of the frenzied rush that is National Novel Writing Month. Either way, you’ve deemed it a complete work, which means only one thing: it’s ready for revision.
Did you picture lightning striking on a dark and stormy night when reading the big “R” word? If so, you’re not alone! For many, revision is even more intimidating than dreaming up a novel from scratch. If writing a first draft was an adventure of epic proportions, then revising that same draft is a slog through already-explored terrain, right?
Wrong! I’ve found that revision can be just as grand of an adventure as writing 50K in 30 days! To prove it, I’d like to share ten ways you can turn your revision journey from a dreaded duty into an exciting adventure:
1. First things first: make a copy of your first draft, and then don’t touch the original! You don’t want your adventure bogged down by regrets, after all, and having an untouched first draft will ensure that if you’re unhappy with any changes, you’ll always have the original to fall back on.
2. Be prepared! Just as you wouldn’t want to forget your socks and undies, you’re going to want to pack everything you need to help you on your revision adventure. NaNoWriMo’s “Now What?” revision guide should come in handy, for starters!
3. Take a trip off the beaten path and explore all of the “What If’s”, no matter how wild they might seem. What if you added to the chemistry of your main characters and turned your action-adventure novel into a full-blown romance? What if the murder mystery mastermind was the other guy? The possibilities are endless!
4. Go on a hunt to find the most hilarious typos born from the fever-induced ramblings of the NaNo mind, and share them with your writing group for laughs!
5. Make it a game! For example, does your novel have a character who keeps disappearing from scenes they’re supposed to be in? (Mine was a tiny dragon named Mouse…) Every time you write that character back into a scene, reward yourself with a treat for “finding” them!
6. Gleefully chop away at tangents, plot twists, and descriptions you included in your first draft simply for word count. No one can stop you from backspacing now!
7. Try new tools! Is there any better feeling than using a brand new travel accessory for the first time? That’s how I felt when I first tried Scrivener’s split-screen feature and discovered just how fun it made revision. Why not check out NaNoWriMo’s offers page to see if any new tools spark your excitement?
8. Delight in discovering passages that you have absolutely no memory of writing! If you’re anything like me, there will be quite a few of them, and you’ll find you can improve them with the ease of editing someone else’s writing.
9. Capture your favorites! Create a “Snapshots” document or folder and fill it with all the first draft passages that you got right the first time. If you start feeling discouraged during revising, simply pull up these snapshots and remind yourself of your own genius!
10. If you really want to capture the NaNo spirit, try rewriting your novel from start to finish without even glancing at your first draft. This trick terrifies me, personally, but I know folks who swear by it! Congratulations! You’re now ready for your revision adventure! Pack up your bags, be kind to yourself, and have fun exploring your novel again. I’ll be right there with you!
Tumblr media
Madison Vaughn-Parra is a lifelong writer and passionate geek, who technically works a corporate job in program management but prefers to spend her time in fantasy and science-fiction worlds of her own creation. She’s happily lost in the woods of her own revision adventure at the moment and hoping to dive into the publishing process next. She rarely posts on Twitter, but you can still follow her @vaughn__boyage if you’d like! Header Photo by Leah Kelley from Pexels

I watched Zoey 102.
SPOILERS!!!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Okay so I have quite a few thoughts. First of all, it's actually not as cringe as I thought it would be. There were several hilarious one liners and honestly most of the best acting and comedic moments go to the side characters. There were a lot of "omg lol so relatable" moments that were ehh, but they did nail quite a few things about being an awkward 30 year old. I have to say I actually really liked the actor who played Zoey's boss and the actor who played her fake boyfriend.
Now Quogan. They do get married!!! They do have a callback to their sweet first love confession!!! And they spend the majority of time on screen together holding each other or calling each other babe or just generally being really affectionate. Tbh, it still wasn't enough for me, I still wish Quinn and Logan got more screen time, especially to make their storyline clearer.
As most people predicted, Zoey was like 90% responsible for ruining the wedding, but Logan takes the other 9%, and there's an awkward moment with Stacey and Mark accusing Zoey's fake boyfriend of being a murderer that takes the last 1%. However, I think we'd view Logan as more responsible if there was more screen time actually focused on that, but the majority of the screen time is focused on Zoey ruining the wedding, half assing her job, and having romantic troubles with Chase. The storyline they tried to set was Logan being a groomzilla trying to make everything perfect to the point that he doesn't spend enough time talking to Quinn about everything, but that doesn't come across very well considering most of his screen time is him... with Quinn. I mean I get what they were trying to go for here, but the way everything goes in the film it is so much more obvious that Zoey is the main one ruining the wedding. If things were just a little more focused on Quogan, I think we would have been able to see more clearly Logan neglecting Quinn in favor of giving her the perfect wedding.
They make up rather quickly too. I also don't like that they had Zoey help with the fixing by reminding Logan to go and actually speak with Quinn. That to me was out of character. Logan and Quinn were always great at communicating with each other, I don't think he would have just showered her with presents and forgotten to try to actually speak with her as he does in the movie. At least the two aren't separated for long, but still that moment just bothered me a little, and it was like a two second scene that could have easily been cut.
Now here is the biggest thing that bothered me. Yes, Zoey and Chase finally end up together for reals, whatever, but they have their big kiss at! the! wedding!!! I mean there's two kisses before this between them, but the big "oh we're finally going to be together" kiss happens at the wedding right in the middle of Quinn and Logan's first dance! And the crowd fucking claps for them!!! Wtf??
Anyways. Oh and also they don't show the full wedding ceremony. They have Michael begin and then suddenly cut to someone telling Michael how beautiful the ceremony was. Lazy writing.
At least Quinn and Logan are adorable at their wedding. The kiss, the cutting cake together, and her teasing him. Very cute. I will never get enough of that kiss scene! It is actually so good, y'all. You can tell the actors still have great chemistry with each other!
Overall, the movie is perfectly fine. I wouldn't say it's great, but I wouldn't say it's bad either. There's stuff I wish they had done differently, but it's cute for what it is. I just really wish we got more Quogan screentime because they are my faves!
Final note: They mention every single character who couldn't be there except for Nicole. Yikes. That just kind of annoyed me, especially hearing that that actress wasn't treated very well during the original show.
*Bonus note: I like that they implied at the end that the fake boyfriend was indeed a murderer lmao! If there's any spinoff from this spinoff, I wonder if it will be about him!
**Bonus bonus note: There's a line where Mark comments on Logan being quick on the rebound and sloppy seconds, and Logan's just like "yeah man," and idk why it was so funny to me, but I just feel like the actors added that in themselves lol.

A New School Hunter's Guide to Old School Monster Hunter: What to Expect
World and Rise have come and gone. These are the games that introduced you to Monster Hunter. But now that you've completed every goal you set out to achieve, there's a big 2025 sized hole in your hunting heart where Wilds may one day be. "In the meantime, why not catch up on the old MH games?" you think to yourself, blissfully unaware of the hell that you are about to subject yourself to.
Below the cut is a SUPER LONG and very dramatic post, intended for new-ish Monster Hunter players who are bored of being good at the game, and want to remember what AGONY feels like— but would rather not jump in 100% blind like I did, doomed to hilarious suffering.
Note: This post mainly refers to MHGU, but much of it applies to older MH games as well. I came from Rise, and have not played World. If I made any incorrect assumptions about games I haven't played, apologies in advance. Let me know if I made any glaring mistakes.
Also, feel free to reblog and add any more info that I missed! I am but one mortal hunter, after all.
Table of Contents, because I wasn't kidding when I said this is a super long post:
Preparing for a Quest
GATHERING TAKES FOREVER
Paintballs, and other things that aren't in the newer games for a very good reason
When the monster attacks you
When you attack the monster
Armor Skills (AAAAAAA!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!! AAAAAAAHHAGHHAAHGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!)
The Desire Sensor (You Will Grind.)
No but really, you'd better have ~30 minutes set aside if you're planning on reading this whole thing in one sitting. Enjoy!
1. Preparing for a Quest
Many of the conveniences of the modern quest hub layout are nowhere to be found in old school MH games. Sure, you've got an overpriced shop, a smithy, and a quest handler all in one spot. And if you're lucky, maybe even a place to eat before the hunt. But if you want to change your equipment, save the game, or entrust your cat with an overseas trade deal, you'll likely have to do it somewhere else. And that means loading screens.
I'm telling you now, get used to the loading screens. Make sure you know what you want to do and where you need to do it, before you sit there and wait. Our spoiled Gen 5 asses are so accustomed to seamless transitions; the load times are not unreasonable, but the sheer number of interruptions will make you feel like a rabid animal gnawing at the bars of a wire cage. You'll get used to it. <- That's a phrase you're going to see a LOT in this post.
Go to your house to pick out your weapon and armor, and feast your eyes upon the horror: all of the equipment is haphazardly thrown into one box. There are no separate storage spaces for individual weapon types, meaning your sweet precious baby angel, the hammer, has to share menu real estate with the fucking light bowgun (UGH).
You cannot sort armor by head, chest, arms, etc. Want to see how your armor skills are looking? Close the box. Open the start menu. Navigate to "status," then flip through a page or two of normal, healthy stats. Find the armor skills page. Black out for a split second. Feel your heart rate spike, then immediately close out the armor skills, and decide that it's not important right now, and that you'll figure it out later.
Get your items in order. Set an item loadout if you can. Money is tight, and that won't be changing any time soon, so keep an eye on your zenny while you're shopping and smithing. Excess bones and ore are a decent source of cash if you're desperate.
I know I probably don't have to say it, but EAT! Eat something before the hunt! It increases your health and stamina bar and may grant you temporary skills. Some skills are exclusive to food, and can't be acquired via armor or decorations, so try out as many foods as you can. You'll be able to make more dishes using ingredients that you obtain as side quest rewards.
Before you set out on your quest, make absolutely certain that you have everything you might need. This is EXTREMELY important. The main camp is pretty much just there for show. (And for delivering eggs, but that's beside the point.) You cannot change your equipment or refill your items AT ALL once you're out there. If you forgot to eat, too bad, sucks to be you. And whatever weapon you bring is the only one you'll be using for that entire quest.
Alright, time to hunt! Talk to the quest handler, no, not that npc, no, that's not her either- ahem. Talk to the quest handler, aaaand yippee. 1 Star is all gathering quests. Well, at least they'll go by quickly!
2. GATHERING TAKES FOREVER
The first thing you'll notice on your first gathering quest in old school MH is that you slowly. Gather. One. Item. At a time. Maybe two if you're really striking it rich. Please for the love of all that is good, hold down the gathering button. Save yourself some time. Don't be an idiot like I was for more hours than I'm willing to admit.
YOU NEED TO GATHER. You need to gather so much, all the time, constantly. If you're not actively in combat, you should be gathering. If you're not gathering, then you should be moving to another gathering spot in order to gather more stuff. Bring a gathering palico. Hell, bring two. They are The Best type of palico, it doesn't even come close. There is no moment when you should not gather.
I can't stress this enough. Old school MH games will not just shower you with free items. Quest rewards are often pitiful, and it's safe to assume that the trader won't have what you need. Yes, gathering is slow and boring. But that's exactly why you need to weave it into every beat of downtime that the game gives you. GATHER, always. You'll thank yourself later.
You will need pickaxes to mine, and bug nets to catch bugs. These take up precious inventory space, but are well worth bringing to regular locales. If you want to fish and actually obtain something worthwhile (PLESIOTH), then you'll need to craft bait or bring some with you. And if the crafting recipes aren't listed anywhere in game, then gog help you.
There is a chance that crafting will just... not work. It'll consume the materials but spit out garbage instead of what you wanted to make. The odds of this happening can be mitigated by bringing a crafting book with you on your quest, which you can buy from a shop. But that book will take up space in your already miserably small inventory, assuming you brought sensible things along too, like potions. And a map.
Unless you have the locale memorized, you won't know where you are without the map item. In Low Rank, a map is courteously provided in the main camp's rations box, along with some field meds and food. (Don't get used to this kind of generosity. It'll be gone in High Rank and beyond.) Now that you have a map, you'll be able to see where all of the gathering spots are.......... right? RIGHT?????
WRONG. If you want to know where the spots are, you'll have to find them and then dedicate some real-life human brain memory space for that info. In some games, the gathering spots are obvious, with a big question mark that pops up when you can interact with them. In older games... uh... ha. Haha...... yeah. Good luck.
On the bright side, at least the map is good for keeping yourself safe. Y'know, because of the titular monsters. You can see the monsters on the map......... right?
Okay I'm gonna cut straight to the chase.
3. Paintballs, and other things that aren't in the newer games for a very good reason
Craft a pretty pink paintball with a paintberry and a sap plant. Equip it in your item scroll bar, and press that sexy item use button to throw it at a monster. Voila! A pink dot appears on your map. This (and psychoserum) allows you to see the monster's location.
Get into the habit of bringing multiple paintballs with you on every quest. You will miss a few throws. Also, the effect wears off after a few minutes, meaning you'll have to find the monster and hit it with another paintball again in order to keep it on the map. Be mindful of flying wyverns, who are aggravatingly hard to follow without a paintball. That includes some unexpected honorable mentions, for example Mizutsune, Zinogre, and Rajang, who can just... fly to the opposite side of the map. Yeah, I know. Don't ask.
So Zinogre has just taken to the skies. Now's a great opportunity to sharpen your weapon! If you remembered whetstones, that is. They're not an infinite resource, and they're not just automatically in your inventory. You'll have to go out of your way to obtain them and bring them with you on your hunts.
Likewise, I mentioned earlier that you need pickaxes and bug nets for gathering their respective items. What I didn't tell you is that they too are a finite resource. Pickaxes and bug nets can and will break, and you'll have to buy or craft new ones. If you're planning on doing a lot of gathering, eat for skills that reduce the likelihood of your tools breaking. It makes a huge difference.
Pay attention to what locale the quest takes place in. Some locales are hot, like Dunes and... *shudders* Volcanic Hollow. Bring cool drinks with you to hot locales, or else you'll take passive heat damage. Trust me, you do not want to be on fire the whole time you're running away from (and whiffing your attacks on) Uragaan. Ask me how I know that.
Similarly, cold locales will ruin your stamina bar over time. Hot drinks protect you from this stamina drain. Some locales, like Desert, have both hot and cold areas. Which is annoying because the drinks cancel each other out. Keep this in mind.
Don't be lured into a false sense of comfort just because you didn't forget your cool drinks. Because once you get into High Rank, there's a pretty good chance that you won't spawn at the main camp when you start a quest. One day, you will spawn right into a pool of lava, directly in a monster's line of sight, with zero time to prepare. It's okay to be a total chicken and run away screaming. After all, it is a monster, and it will attack you.
4. When the monster attacks you
I almost guarantee that your first old school hunt will leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Not bitter enough to make you instantly hate the game, but just enough to make you want to put the controller down and go outside and maybe even interact with other human beings, which is just as tragic.
Want to get some practice in with your weapon before the hunt? Well, too bad bucko, there's no training area. There may be a so-called "training quest," in which an npc barfs tutorial text onto your boots and then pits you against a real monster in an inescapable arena fight to the death, which is hilarious if you think about the in-game universe implications. Anyway. If you want to learn the in and outs of your weapon, then you'll have to do it the old fashioned way: get out there and get your ass kicked.
Great news! Getting your ass kicked is cheap, easy, and quick. Monsters' attacks will hit you like a cement truck packed with explosives speeding towards a steel wall. Even dumb little attacks like tail slaps and nibbles will take a CHUNK out of your health bar. Good thing you brought potions!
Terrible news! You are extremely vulnerable for several seconds while consuming healing items. Whether you like it or not, you will stand there in place, unable to move at all, glug, then flex your strong beautiful arms for the whole world to admire. And if the monster turns its attention towards you while you're doing this, there is nothing you can do but watch in despair as all of the health you just regained AND then some, gets torn away from you in an instant.
Don't wait until the fights get tough in order to prioritize learning monster's attack patterns. Even early on, only heal when you know for certain that it's safe to do so. Remember, it's okay to run away like a little wuss to put distance between yourself and the monster so you can use your items in peace. Hell, leave the area altogether if you have to. That being said, don't let the fight get too close to the edges of the area. Loading zones always get the last laugh.
Sooo.... hitboxes. They suck. They're bigger than they look, and they're present for longer than they should be. And some attacks have little to no tell or wind-up animation. Some monsters are just a vile conglomeration of both of these problems. (here's looking at you, Yian "You Mother Fucking Son of a Bitch" Garuga). Sigh... you'll get used to it.
If you came from Rise, getting knocked down by an attack will feel EXCRUCIATING. There is no fast way to fling yourself back onto your feet after taking a big hit. You will lie there, recoiling in pain, seething for way longer than you want— and you may even like it after a few hundred hours. Hang in there.
If a strong attack sends you flying into a wall, you'll very likely get stunned. Getting stunned is the single most dangerous thing that can happen, far worse than poison or waterblight or what have you. You can escape stun significantly faster by mashing buttons and wiggling the control stick. And I guess you could also bring the Stun Res skill, but... we'll, um, come back to that later.
WATCH OUT for pin attacks! You may very suddenly get snapped up and chewed apart like a dog toy, and it will be very bad for your health. That's why you should keep your pockets lined with literal shit. Chuck a dung bomb to escape a pin attack before the monster finishes ripping you to shreds. Dung bombs may also convince an unwanted monster to leave the area, which is great for when you'd rather not fight Gravios and Shogun Ceanataur at the same time. Which is all the time.
5. When you attack the monster
Your favorite weapon is not what you remember it being. Moves are missing, or mapped to completely different buttons. "How tf do I vault? Why won't my kinsect go where I want?? Stop shooting pheromone pellets!!!" whines the insect glaive main. "What do you mean there's no shoulder tackle?? How do I get to TCS faster????" cries the greatsword player. "Oh, ok, nothing's really changed," says the SnS main. It's a travesty, I tell you.
All of your movement is clunky. Attack timing is off. New school muscle memory is going to get you carted a lot. But hands down, the absolute most traumatizing thing is that there is no backwards dodge roll. You can dodge left, right, and forward, but never back. As a hunting horn main myself, I can assure you, this is a fate worse than hell. They say you never know love until you've loved and lost. You loved the backwards dodge roll, and soon, you'll know it.
And it gets even funnier if you play lance or gunlance— you can kiss your forward hop goodbye. Need to close the gap? Turn around, aim your squishy butt cheeks at the monster, and hop backwards towards it, expending absurd amounts of stamina in the process. Otherwise, walk slowly and threateningly towards it like the apex predator you are. Oh, and don't bother blocking attacks. It takes too much stamina, inflicts an abysmal knockback, and half of the time, you'll just get hit anyway. Guard and Guard Up are 100% necessary if you plan on using that shield. Good luck obtaining those skills, sucker.
The charge blade is somehow simultaneously more complicated and way easier to play than its modern iterations. The opposite is true of the switch axe, imo. Blunt weapons are stronger, but there's something a bit off about the way they feel. The longsword is the longsword. And as for the bowguns, I wouldn't be able to tell you, because I know better than that.
It doesn't matter what weapon you pick, because either way, you are going to develop a highly concerning dash juice dependency.
Take advantage of every tool the game provides. The usual stuff like barrel bombs, traps, and ballistae are indispensably helpful. But there are other familiar mechanics that are way more useful in old school MH than they are in newer games. That includes invading monsters (DEVILJHO!!), who will indiscriminately attack you AND the monster you're hunting, inadvertently aiding your hunt without you needing to wyvern ride or seek out a turf war. Jump off of ledges to rack up mounting damage in gen 4 games, which may reward you with a free knockdown (if you can mash fast enough)!
Monster's movements are janky, and this is in your favor. Get good at "head sniping" the monster as they turn around in 90 degree increments. Don't get greedy during small opportunities. Remember, monsters can go from t-posing, straight to crushing you to death, with zero wind-up animation.
There are no damage numbers when you land a hit. This may spoil the instant gratification factor of the game for a while. If you're a greatsword main, you will suffer from withdrawals due to Big Number Addiction. But over time you'll realize that it's actually fantastic, because now you're less obsessed with landing the super big awesome attack on the ultra weak spot for maximum damage. Instead, you'll find yourself savoring every little hit you manage to land. It'll be better for your cardiovascular health in the long run.
That's a good analogy for the entire new school to old school pipeline: it sucks A LOT for a long time, then gets really, really good later on once you get over the "Gen 5 stages of grief." Listen, you will have an abusive relationship with this game. It took me 80 HOURS before I could actually say with confidence that I liked MHGU more than I disliked it. Not that I loved it, but merely that I didn't hate it. 80 real life hours. That's... probably not good, but whatever.
There is one thing that I don't think I'll ever learn to love, though. And that's...
6. Armor Skills (AAAAAAA!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAGHHHHH!! AAAAAAAHHAGHHAAHGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!)
Face it. You will never, ever, ever be as powerful as you are in World or Rise. You will not have your maxxed out attack and affinity boosting skills plus the comfy stuff like Flinch Free and Stun Res all at the same time. Not in Low Rank, not in High Rank, and not quite in G Rank either. Here's why.
Skills have tiers as usual. But now, they also have thresholds. For example, you want the skill Speed Eating +1, then you'll need 10 points in the Eating skill. If you're even one point short, then the skill will not activate. But Speed Eating +1 doesn't increase your potion glugging speed... if you want that to happen, then you'll need to add 5 more points, for a total of 15, to activate Speed Eating +2. This is true for every skill, and is way easier said than done.
Some skills will feel nerfed big time, like Handicraft. You'll almost never see purple sharpness without Handicraft +2. On the other hand, Crit Draw is a one tier skill that gives you a flat 100% affinity boost on every draw attack. Which is absolutely busted.
Wearing a single piece of armor will provide a few points towards a given skill. If the armor has slots, then you can slot in decorations to increase the points as well. Slot "sizes" are weird and inconsistent, and the decos themselves typically only add 1 or 2 points per skill. Considering the fact that the average skill takes 10 points to activate, and the average full armor set has maaaybe around 7 slots to work with, decos are not going to be your primary source of skill activation.
Now for another problem. Let's say you want an armor set that has just three skills: Status Attack +1, Constitution +1, and Stun Res +1. Pretty modest, right? Should be easy enough. Well would you look at that, High Rank Nerscylla's armor set gets you the first two, and because Stun Res decos are worth 2 points each, you can just slot the last skill in! Nerscylla's set has 5 slots, which is the exact number you need to get those 10 points in Stun Res.
Great! So you do just that. Except when you check your skill points, you discover that Stun Res has a whopping zero points.
Yeah, so... negative skills are a thing. Nerscylla's armor comes with -10 points in Stun Res, activating the "skill" Double Stun. Which as the name suggests, doubles the amount of time that you stay stunned, and I don't think I have to explain why that's bad. -10 plus 10 is zero. So much for that Halve Stun you wanted so bad.
Not all skills have equivalent negative skills, but many armor pieces and most decos will have negative points. The challenge of set building comes from having to carefully balance and calculate your skill points, to make sure you're not accidentally charging into battle against Agnaktor while at -20 Fire Res. It can be frustrating if you're like me, and you've got swiss cheese for brains and can't handle the math. Fear not, I've got something amazing for you.
Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite website, Kiranico. This website hosts Monster Hunter databases containing literally everything that the games don't tell you, or do really half-ass job of telling you. That includes weapon upgrades, material drop rates, monster hitzones and health pools, and most importantly, armor sets and their respective skills. Being able to view all of this info all in one place makes it SO much easier to theorycraft new equipment sets.
Kiranico will save you from so much grief. Bookmark it and cherish it like your firstborn child.
Alas, no amount of Kiranico homework will make it easier to obtain the materials you want. The Desire Sensor is real, and it demands sacrifice.
7. The Desire Sensor (You Will Grind.)
It's commonly said that the game can sense exactly what you're grinding for, and will go to un-fucking-believable odds to avoid giving you that which you need most. This is the alleged "Desire Sensor."
Now, don't get me wrong, the newer games have moments like this, too. Don't even get me started about the 46 tries that it took me to get ONE Golden Almudron Orb, out of the TWO that I needed in Rise.
But until you get better gear, a single old school monster could take you 15+ minutes. Especially if you're on your own. Monster's health pools are not well scaled for solo players, so chances are, hunts are going to take way longer than usual if you don't resign yourself to getting tripped by a cheater with a longsword. Couple this with some god awful drop rates plus the disheartening quest rewards, and you're in for a loooooooong grind.
I would say you'll get used to it, but honestly, you won't. You'll get sick of it. You'll be shaking Kiranico by the metaphorical shoulders, desperate for any little thing that might speed up the grind. You might even be tempted to pick up a bowgun. Such a lapse in sanity is frightening, but it will pass. Stay strong.
Take breaks from the grind every now and then, or at least have two different grinds that you can switch back and forth between when you get exhausted of one. Since there is no escaping the Desire Sensor, this is unfortunately the only advice I can offer.
Disclaimer: the Desire Sensor is, as far as I'm aware, not a real mechanic programmed into the games. But godDAMN if it doesn't feel real. As anecdotal evidence, here's a small sample of my own suffering. Materials I wanted, the amount of them I wanted, their drop rates, and the sheer number of attempts it took to complete my goal (yes, I kept count.):
Lightning Sac x8 (G Rank Khezu): 15% chance to carve. 18% chance as quest reward. 27% chance as part break reward. HUNTS: 22
Paddock Cream x1 (G Rank Tetsucabra/Zamtrios): 40% chance to obtain two as subquest reward. 25% shiny drop. 25% chance as capture reward. 14% chance as quest reward. HUNTS: 8. I mean, what the fuck.
Monster Broth x5 (High Rank Insectoid Small Monster): 20% chance to carve. 20% shiny drop. SLAIN: >70
Viscous Radiant Mucus x17 (G Rank Nakarkos) 40% chance to gather; multiple gathering opportunities. 18% chance to obtain at least one as quest reward. 18% chance to obtain at least one as subquest reward. 15% chance per tentacle broken to obtain two. HUNTS: 15 (IT'S A 30+ MINUTE FIGHT SOLO. FML)
Was it worth it? Hell yeah! Do I think we should go back to the way things were in the old games? Fuck no! 46 Almudrons haunt me in my wildest nightmares— but at least I didn't feel my hair getting longer playing Rise.
On the bright side, at least the Desire Sensor has a sense of humor, if that last Khezu was anything to go by. Shout out to carving three lightning sacs in a row.
Phew! That about wraps things up.
Don't let this post deter you from trying out a "hard" Monster Hunter game. I don't regret my old school experiences. They've made me a much more patient and observant player, which weirdly enough, has carried over into other series I play, too. I can't say the same about any other game I've played in my life, and that's just one of many reasons why Monster Hunter holds such a special place in my heart.
I hope that by sharing my wisdom, I've saved at least one overwhelmed player a whole lot of headache. The rest is up to you, fellow hunter. Take it slow, and have fun!
Oh, and one more thing: press the dodge button while climbing in order to climb faster. Learned that one by accident 200 hours in.

The Tattoo Sleeve (Neymar jr soulmate au)
Warning: curse words.
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Neymar watched Y/n as she got her lunch out of her bag, it was mashed potatoes with mixed in veggies (looked like sweet pepper and onions) and chicken alongside some fruits and of course her coffee. In the past few days he had been looking over her- although, stalking is a more accurate word- he realised that she drinks an unholy amount of coffee, he watched her pour in two packets of instant coffee in one mug, that was not healthy! She's a doctor, she should know that!
He wasn't quite sure why he kept coming back to the same street of the clinic. The first time he went looking for her there, where he saw the most hilarious situation and she went through the most embarrassing situation, he stayed at a cafe nearby to clear his head from their conversation when he realised that it was midnight and she was still at work. When he finally saw her entering a car along with Doctor Monet the feeling of relief washed over him, at least she wasn't leaving at 1:30 am alone.
At that day, when he want back to his apartment at 2 am, he decided that he wasn't going to be thinking about anything related to his soulmate, he just stayed this one time to check on her and she has her boss to drive her home. There was absolutely no need for him to be worried, he doesn't even want to get to know her so why was he sitting here on a Friday afternoon looking at his soulmate from afar like a goddamn creep?
"This is stupid" Neymar mumbled as he stood up, reaching for his back pocket to get his wallet, leaving his total at the table along with a tip. Anyone passing by could tell that the man in blue puffer jacket and black jeans was in a hurry to leave, his quick movement and the screeching sound of the chair on the cobblestone floor made it clear.
"Oh, fuck off."
Neymar realised that maybe, just maybe, if he had stayed where he was that wouldn't have happened. His chair wouldn't alert everyone with a mile radius of his presence. His chair wouldn't have alerted his soulmate that he was this close to her. However, judging by the whispers that broke out, his soulmate being alerted wasn't the only issue at hand.
"Holy shit, that is Neymar Junior!"
"Do you think I can ask for a picture?"
"He is so much more handsome in real life."
Sighing, Neymar decided to smile at everyone within his sight. His smile made fans approach him, and he was fine with that, whenever he went out he was always ready to meet someone, to take a photo with someone he never saw before, he knew it was always a possibility. It annoys him sometimes, but he tries not to show it too much, he also tries to get the point across that not at anytime anyone can expect a photo with him or a signature from him.
After a few minutes, he had taken 4 photos and signed 3 shirts along with making small talk with everyone around. Now that everyone had been back in their seat, and it looked like everything was normal, Neymar looked to his right, seeing Y/n still there on her phone, not paying him any attention.
Frowning, Neymar started walking towards her without realising. He wasn't ready to have a soulmate, at least that's what he told himself, but he also wanted to know her, he wanted to see her smile, he wanted to hold her in his arms and hear her laugh. It was messing with him, he couldn't sort out his feeling, he couldn't stop and think about what he truly wanted and his actions showed it.
"Ummm, hello?" Y/n questioned as she looked up from her phone.
"Can we talk?"
"Didn't we do that already," y/n raised her eyebrows as she started recalling the conversation they had last week. "You said you didn't want to be with your soulmate, which is me, so I have no idea what you want from me right now."
"To be honest, I don't either."
There was a bitter taste on his tongue as he admitted that, he was confused and unsure of what he was doing or where anything that is currently happening would lead him, but he wanted to be there right now. That's all he knew, he wanted to be beside her and talk to her even if he didn't want a soulmate.
"Okay, listen," Y/n started "I don't know what you want, hell even you don't know what you want. So please, I am begging you do not come here and expect me to treat you all nice!"
"I thought you wanted to be with me."
"What?" Y/n asked, she hoped to anyone that would listen that her thoughts are wrong, she is just seeing the worst in him.
"Last time you said you want to be with your soulmate."
"Yeah, and that soulmate doesn't want me. You told me that! You made it clear!"
"It's just, right now I feel like I want to be with you and it's confusing me too!"
"Right now," Y/n blinked, "right now? What! Do you expect me to welcome you whenever you feel like it? What about my feelings!
Please, I am begging you, sort out your feelings and then we can talk"
Hearing the crack in her voice, Neymar felt ashamed. She was right, he couldn't just expect her to be okay with his every whim. He knows better than to do that, than to act as if he is the only person that's life will be affected by a soulmate in it.
"Hey man." Neymar greeted as he buckled his seatbelt. "Can I come over, I really messed up."
!ENEWS!

Top 10 Soul Eater episodes?
As in, favorite episodes?? Or best episodes??
I'll do...favorites I guess? If that's even possible my gosh... I'm hard-pressed at this point to find any I don't like, and others are like...yes this one and this one and this one and this one.... Like the whole underground battle series of like seven??? Is just one giant episode to me, lol.
ANYWAY.... FAVORITE Top Ten episodes, listed in airing order not a ranking cuz that's impossible, lol.
Now, to absolutely no one's surprise...
These are all Stein and/or Spirit feature episodes. Except maybe two. Here we gooooo!
Episode 4: "Engage the Witch Hunter! A Remedial Lesson in the Graveyard?"
Tumblr media
Why a fave? Okay well first of all...we get to see the four main characters fighting together against an enemy. The episode starts with the feeling of...okay, here we go... Like setting the tone of the anime after the concept and chars have been introduced. Gonna be a monster of the week thing, fighting new enemies and collecting souls. Like Digimon but not you know?
So we see awesome techniques from both Maka and Black Star and Sid as a char is super creative, so it's all that stuff to start with. And then...then we start to get that tiny bit of backstory at the end about Spirit and Stein and it's like, wait say what now?? The red-head is more than a comic drunk deadbeat dad? So then...
Episode 5: "Shape of the Soul – Enter the Ultimate Meister, Stein?"
Tumblr media
Yeah okay... I mean. Obviously. We see Stein and it's like whoa that design is creepy this guy is creepy and then we hear Spirit blubbering drunkenly about the past and it's like creepy and oh snap I am now sympathetic to Spirit and there is a far deeper backstory going on here with these adults cuz we had the privilege of seeing Sid alive before you know and suddenly he's dead in the prior ep so mystery and...yeah. And then it's very much presented as wow...Stein is...unbeatable. They're doomed. And that twist ending I was just as much huh??? as Soul was and I just. Got captivated by the backstory.
Episode 7: "Black-blooded Terror – There's a Weapon inside Crona?"
Tumblr media
More Spirit and Stein stuff. I swear that hospital scene was my favorite scene in the entire show for the longest time. It's hilarious, I still crack up watching it. The toes thing is just... And that way too long dramatic pause and camera pull before he reveals the divorce, and Stein freaking already knows and just...yeah I'm getting giddy thinking about it. But ALSO it's like, okay...now we've departed from the casual anime silliness. We skipped the 30+ eps of growth like Digimon and went straight to the big major character issue. Which you know, makes sense the further into the anime we go for this anime. But...yeah. It gets. Real. Not kids anymore. Crona with Ragnarok are hilarious I love them, and Crona is highkey relatable; Crona is every teenager to exist ever. But yeah then Soul's sacrifice, for Maka... It's just...wow. Yeah it got real.
Episode 8: "The Witch Medusa – Bearer of the Great Terrible Soul?"
Tumblr media
Truthfully, probably my favorite episode as things stand right now. My mind may change later. Why? Because obviously...Spirit and Stein get to fight together. We get to see what the future is... It's like seeing the past in Star Wars, the very beginning of Ep. 1 you know where we see Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan fight and it's like...yessss this is how things are supposed to be in a world that isn't broken. Seeing Stein and Spirit fight together like that is just... Yeah my heart is pounding thinking about how insanely awesome that is. Also Stein is hot. Plus more of that...not kids anymore. Maka's pure terror at sensing Medusa's soul, seeing her...seeing what a real witch is. Like yeah kid the little kishin egg monsters and magical cats you've been playing with are nothing. Maka realizes the world of meisters and weapons she's in is quite a bit different than her experience so far. And can we talk about how Maka wasn't going to leave Soul's side??? Was just gonna take the hit and die right beside him, because he died for her??? MY HEART! Also Stein is hot yes I know I said it already it bears repeating and man that...seriousness...the way Stein looks at Medusa, the way the witch knows who they are which in itself shows a greater threat... That utter gravity that falls over that moment at the end there, after Stein blocks her attack and it's like....oh snap. Now what? Not to mention all the new tiny details we get about soul resonance and the possibilities and how a weapon can take on features of their meister in the special attacks! (Spirit takes on stitches here on the witch hunter blade, and in the last episodes he takes on Lord Death's skull face on the kishin hunter blade. That's so cool...) Okay I have to stop. I could go on. Like I said...favorite episode as things stand right now.
Episode 13: "The Man with the Magic Eye – Soul and Maka's Diverging Soul Wavelength?"
Tumblr media
This one surprised me because initially I didn't care for it. I don't care for Free's design, shark!wolf just doesn't appeal to me. But over time this really grew on me. The writing is excellent and soooooo many major things happen. We get the first bit of touching on the morality issue, like, is DWMA really the correct moral power? Free says something about it and then it becomes a bigger theme going forward. We get the beginning of the black blood effects and the battle against/with it and the start of what all that means... The start of the "acceptance" theme even if it isn't named. We hear Soul's piano for the first time even though it isn't named as such until Brew. We get to see Soul and Maka both so confused but both so dedicated to each other, and the maturing starting to happen, that needs to still happen... It's a huge ep for their relationship. And also...Eruka. I love Eruka. All things Eruka. Any episode with Eruka is a delight. But yeah this episode is just SO deep and excellent, it needs more love. (Also in the candle room fight if you listen close we hear that Spirit has an outy belly button and I'm just alksjdahkjghsd how silly.)
Episode 14: "The Super Written Exam – Heart-Pounding, Reeling, and Restless. You're Kidding!?"
Tumblr media
Ehhh heheheh...heheh... Pure absurdity. Pure comedic awesomeness. Everything about this episode. I love things where many characters are featured in more than a cameo and get real attention. We see more of all their homes, more of what they do and who they are when not in battle... Spirit being an absolute fool... That hilarious buildup timer to the end of the exam... Blair ruining what should have been something GOOD agh silly cat I'm still annoyed, lol. I'm not gonna say much here since I said so much about the last episode but man, yeah. Just pure comedy gold, I never ever tire of this episode. "Giraffe, giraffe~" Heheheh.
Episode 23: "Dead or Alive – In the Rift between Revival and Dazzlement?"
Tumblr media
Okay like I said before... The entire underground battle, starting with the anniversary party, I consider one giant episode. I name all of those as favorites. I selected this one for here because it's where we get some of Stein's backstory I think? Flashback to he and Spirit as young teens, and we learn where Stein's mental state really is. We get to see more of his and Spirit's dynamic, how they work together both successfully and less successfully... Many headcanons borne of this battle in this episode. My gosh I just...can't put it into words in any brief way. I could write an epic length post breaking down nearly every line, look, gesture... And is this also the episode where the kishin emerges and my gosh if that isn't the creepiest most suspenseful moment I've ever seen. Also, we see more of Eruka! I adore her. And Free. But yeah whole episode... Fantastic.
Episode 25: "The Death Scythes Convene – Stop Dad's Staff Reassignment!?"
Tumblr media
And this episode...also silly and ridiculous, but awesome because we get to see a little more of the "adult" side of the DWMA and how things operate. Comedically yes, cuz Soul Eater is a comedy, but still there's quite a bit of seriousness too. Stein's madness as a plot point... But my gosh... Marie, Azusa... Justin... The dynamic between all the adults. I would give ANYTHING for a prequel anime where we get to see all these complete idiots in the academy and how it all went down between them. And my gosh we've had plenty backstory teased already with Stein's experiments against Spirit, Sid and baby Black Star... Seeing the adults as kids would be the perfect "reboot" series for me. Plus that basketball ending, bringing it all full-circle in terms of...okay, here we are again, and here we go again... Onto the next phase of the show/of our lives. It's a fantastic turning-point episode and I never tire of it.
Episode 31: "Drying Happiness! Whose Tears Sparkle in the Moonlight?"
Tumblr media
This one...so much happens here. We get delightful glimpses of normal life, we get the reminder that Soul plays piano which becomes important quite soon... We get the comedy of Spirit having to parrot Lord Death to Justin because they just won't make the kid take out his earbuds! We get a moment of Crona and Ragnarok actually getting along and having a normal conversation and ohhh myyyy gosshhhhhh I wish we'd had more of that in the show. I adore Ragnarok. But then...ugh. The saga of pain that begins. You get everyone reaching out, you get to see Crona happy... Marie after wandering around lost, saying if there's ever anything you need... Later inviting Crona to her home... Only to be betrayed. And the absolute skill and execution of the writing as they make us believe for a moment that Marie is okay in returning the pen...and then it's revealed that Crona put a snake in the coffee. Just. Oh man. Ugh the pain. Whyyyy Crona whyyy when you had the entire academy to back you up, everyone on your side, full protection from friends, from a death scythe who trusted you to invite to her home, from Lord Death who gave you a second chance... But you still betrayed them all. And then of course, that little snake then is the catalyst for SO much of what happens in the next episodes... Big deal. This ep is so huge. So many different feels...
Episode 40: "The Cards Are Cut – Medusa Surrenders to the DWMA?"
Tumblr media
Spirit feature, Spirit feature! I like getting to see a little more of Spirit's responsibilities other than hovering at Lord Death's shoulder waiting 800 years bound to Death City what the heck his poor death scythes for battles that will never come. I know logically he has other jobs as the death scythe, but it's nice to see him doing some of it and more of his relationship with Lord Death (those two raised their children side by side I mean come on there's so much comedic opportunity here). Also the sheer TENSION in the episode from the fact it's Medusa, and Maka's reaction, and Stein's reaction, and then the deal at the end... It's like...okay this is a serious tone-shift and no clue now what is coming. It's a lot of weight all at once leaving me feel like I'm in a whirlwind and kicks off the final arcs of the show and...yeah. This is a good one.
Also hey guess what!
Turning this ask into a tag game! So...what are your top ten favorite episodes??
@midnightcaptions @memethebum @chickycherrycola @blackbloodteeth @mellancholy-morose @beeejayy (that's right Sunny start interacting with fandom LOL) @takeyourcyanide @cannibal-nightmares
AND...anybody else who wants to take this on! Have fun!
And BONUS... Any and all episodes with Excalibur are awesome and if you don't love him you are wrong. That's okay you're allowed to be, you do you. 😘

I've been discussing with my friends and personally mulling over the New Yorker article about the elimination of phonics based reading instruction in many American schools since last night and I want to bring up a few things.
1. the author of the New Yorker piece starts the article by reporting apparently without self-censure or reflection that she has never attempted to teach her kindergarten-aged daughter to read, nor asked the kid to read aloud. this writer is apparently a fully self employed author of books and articles and i don't know what her home life is like but you would have to physically restrain me from teaching my own child literacy at home. the fact that she goes the entire article without apparently linking the fact that she was completely unaware that her 5 year old has no phonics education with the fact that she personally has not taught her daughter any literacy skills would be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking awful for the little girl. i cannot imagine leaving the education of my children to a school of any kind, regardless of my personal employment situations but especially not if i was a self employed writer, presumably working from home.
2. this pattern is noted in the article itself AND IN THE TUMBLR COMMENTS: the single consistent difference between children who can read well and children who can't is whether or not their parents intentionally and directedly teach them one-on-one at home. in real life this usually translates to socioeconomic differences. poor kids get less teaching time with their parents
3. lots of people in the Tumblr notes as well as multiple references in the article to how difficult and nonsensical English is, as a language. that is a commonly-accepted truism about English, but it isn't true. the third part of literacy teaching, after phonics and grammar, is etymology. this part is ignored because it's considered "humanities" and useless. it isn't. Greek, Latin, and proto-Indo-European word origins are how you teach children why words are spelled the same and sound different, or spelled differently but sound the same, why letters are shaped the way they are shaped (alpha is from "aleph" which means "ox", which is still what A looks like when you rotate it around to its original orientation), where words come from and more importantly, when they come from. all the "nonsensical" parts of the English language are not nonsense at all, they are the stories of how we got those words and how we have used them for thousands of years. you cannot skip etymology and have a complete mastery of a language. teaching children stories about words will help them remember everything else about words. you cannot crowd out information with other information, information only reinforces itself the more you add.
4. a couple people in the notes brought up something interesting which is that they were people or knew people who had been taught the shit way of reading as kids, had always been bad at it, and then learned phonics as adults and suddenly got way better at reading as a result. that's fantastic. it means you don't have to be stuck at the level of reading you are at now if you don't want to. you can go back and learn the right way if you feel like it and if you have the capability
5. speaking of capability!!! I've done a lot of reading about dyslexia because my partner has a severe, life-altering case of it that, speaking of school incompetence, no one fucking noticed until i diagnosed him via sheer observation at age 30. he's spent his whole life masking and covering for his disability and just not knowing he even had it. in my reading about dyslexia I've read a lot of descriptions of how dyslexic reading works, especially in the book The Gift of Dyslexia, and i know everyone with dyslexia isn't a monolith so I'm sure it varies, but i talked to my partner and described the process in the book and he agreed that was how he "read" things. the dyslexic reading process was extremely similar to what is described as the "vibes-based reading" in the New Yorker article. specifically, the way that dyslexics are extremely visually oriented and so will try to sidestep the confusion of reading series of letters and words by looking for visual cues: words that have a certain shape, or start or end with certain letters (because the letters in the middle can get switched around by their brains), and also just vaguely scanning text and getting the gist rather than trying to interpret its actual meaning. this process has to be untaught to dyslexics who have taught themselves to read this way because it's useless for comprehension, speed and fluency. this really caught my attention because it means the Calkins method of teaching reading is teaching a method so awful it is recognized as medically and neurologically dysfunctional and considered a DISABILITY when children with dyslexia teach themselves to do it as a way to cope with the way their brain has trouble with language.
6. i read /r/Teachers a lot and although the sub is mostly full of people who hate children and are very stupid, one thing that seems true everywhere is that schools are fucking desperate. if i was a teacher right now i would just be teaching whatever method i knew actually worked and not bothering with dysfunctional syllabi because what are they going to do, fire me? from reports, it seems like a great many public schools actually cannot fire anyone who is even vaguely showing up on time and putting any effort in. i hope the teachers working in places like this are taking advantage of their defacto tenure and doing away with bad teaching plans. all the BEST teachers of my life have been rogue teachers who just ignored what the administration was trying to get them to do.

126-" I vote today be a pyjama day !"
127-"Am I your lock screen ?" "You weren't supposed to see that."
128-"You're not annoying me, it actually makes me happy when you come to me for things like this."
129-"I don't need reason to bring you flowers, I just wanted to."
130-"Are you planned to stay glued to my side the whole day?"
131-"I can't stop looking at your mouth. Not even in a sexual way, you've just got a cute mouth."
132- "Hey cutie, are you single ?" "We've been dating for a year."
133-"I brought you your coffee."
134-"You look like you need a hug."
135-"Do you believe in soul mates?"
136-"Can you feel my heart beating that fast for you?"
137-"Did you just lick me?"
138-"shh.. stop fussing, I'm just braiding your hair."
139-"C'mere, you can seat in my lap until I'm done working."
140- "Are you flirting with me ?" "You finally noticed ?"
141- "What is you're favorite color ?" "The color of your eyes.."
142- "I think you might be my soul mate."
143-"I can't believe you still get flustered when I tell you I love you, even though I've been doing it for years now!"
145-"You're so fucking hot when you're mad."
146-"Stop biting that fucking lip."
147-"I'm not jealous...It's just ...You're mine."
148-"I don't fucking care you're supposed to be mine."

You Kissed My Flaws...& Made Them Perfect
In a world where every single person has a Soulmate bearing their identical Soulmark and is bound by law to pursue a life with their Soulmate once located, Sebastian and Blaine are gay as a rainbow men from very different countries, who have never met....yet.
Sebastian Smythe is a charming, devilishly handsome (and doesn't he know it!) 30 year-old commitment-phobe still living in his native Paris, where he is an LGBTQ+ Rights Lawyer. He is highly promiscuous, enjoys the finer things in life, especially very expensive Wines and Spirits and First Edition Science Fiction novels, comes from old and new money, and is a bit of a risk taker, to boot.
As far as his 'love life' goes, he pretty exclusively prefers hookups and shuns anything serious, to which end he has never sought out his Soulmate. He really doesn’t see the point, is 100% against people being forced into 'unnatural' liaisons with someone they have never met, just because they share some unremovable (believe me he has tried to remove it - many times!) permanent Body Art that's branded into their skin.. somewhere...on their bodies, and he is determined to challenge, then ultimately overthrow, the Law that decrees you will become bound to your Soulmate from the very second you locate them.
29 year-old jaded (hopeless!) romantic Blaine Anderson is an equally gorgeous (though with a much more dapper and sweet side) Broadway star who lives in Upper Manhattan, New York, and is currently playing Elder Cunningham in The Book Of Mormon. He has had a similarly privileged upbringing to Sebastian, albeit in the US, and is not in the best place in himself. when our story begins
He (spectacularly!) failed to find his Soulmate after a long, long, long and arduous quest to do so, then gave up on men completely after his Fiancé Kurt, with whom he shared a tumultuous, unequal and in truth pretty freaking toxic six year long relationship, finally broke off their engagement. His heart is bruised and battered, and his self-esteem is in tatters, after Kurt slowly but surely eroded the very essence of Blaine and dulled the shine of everything about him that made him so unique and so vibrant….
...then fucked Blaine's co-star and ran off into the sunset with him…
What will happen when (via Grindr - of course!) these two polar opposites discover they are intrinsically and irreversibly linked? Can twin flames bound by law to meet, then pursue a life together, no matter how much the Fates seem to be weighted against them, make a go of things without killing each other in the process? Can an arranged (by law!) relationship ultimately beat the odds and lead to a happy ever after?
Well..you're going to have to read their story to find that out, but rest assured it will not be short on drama, heartache, pining, Angst, laughter, happiness, many hilarious and absolutely NOT so hilarious misunderstandings, and of course…a great deal of good old fashioned…
…hot sex! Oh, yes, and romance and Love of course, too! 😏😉
The unexpected news is - this is actually going to be turned into a fic! Yes..despite still having been unable to update my three ongoing Longfics, due to my increased commitments, I sat down last night to write a short bio to accompany this graphic, and..it took on arms and legs. So yes. A fic it shall become. Either a One-Shot or at most four chapters, but definitely a fic. Soon... And now that I have managed to make time to write, I'm determined to update my other three fics by New Year's Eve! 
Wishing everyone a fantastic 10 Days Of Seblaine, and also an amazing 12th (ahhhhh!) Seblainiversary on 8th November!
10 Days Of Seblaine 2023
6th November 2023 : Day 1: Soulmates/Soulmarks

Recovery Night - A Hilary Knight Imagine
Tumblr media
Another part in my Hilary x younger!reader series! This is the much requested first night of Y/N’s concussion where Hilary takes care of her. This won’t make much sense if you haven’t read Part 1 or Part 2
This is much much shorter than the other 2 parts though, a quick 1k drabble for yall
Tagging @grapefruit-personified​ because she’s really been waiting for this one
“What did the doc say?” Hilary asks. Y/N sighs, turning her face away from Hilary’s.
 “You already know it’s a concussion.”
 “I know,” Hilary says softly, “But how bad? Did he say how long you’re out for?”
 “It’s bad,” Y/N says, “Out for months but they don’t know a timeline yet.”
 “I’m sorry,” Hilary wraps her arm around Y/N’s waist, “How are you feeling?”
 “Bad.”
 Hilary doesn’t say anything.
 “I just… my head hurts. And I feel dizzy every time I stand up. And I kept throwing up in the locker room. And now I can’t play and I don’t even know if I’ll play again and I just wanna cry.”
 “I’m sorry,” Hilary moves closer and Y/N turns and leans her head on Hilary’s shoulder, letting herself cry.
 Hilary holds Y/N as she cries, rubbing her back and whispering soothing things in her ear. It hurts Hilary to hear Y/N cry, but she knows there’s nothing she can do to make it better. She can’t go back in time and stop Y/N’s concussion from happening. She can’t speed up the recovery process. She can’t even take Y/N’s pain away. All she can do is hold Y/N and try and make her feel a little better.
 Suddenly, Y/N stop crying. She tenses up in Hilary’s arms. Hilary sits up a little, her arms loosening.
 “Y/N? You good?”
 Y/N doesn’t answer. She shoots up and runs to the bathroom. Hilary follows and sighs when she sees Y/N kneeling over the toilet, heaving. She kneels beside Y/N, holding her hair back. When Y/N finishes throwing up, Hilary helps her lean against the wall and gently wipes her face with a cloth. She hands Y/N a glass of water and, when she’s ready, helps her stand and brush her teeth.
 “Do you want to go lay down?” Hilary asks. Y/N shakes her head.
 “I think I’m gonna be sick again, I should stay in here.”
 “Okay,” Hilary helps Y/N back to the floor, “I’ll be right back.”
 Hilary returns a few minutes later with pillows and blankets she took from the bed. She lays them down on the floor, makes a nest for Y/N to sit in so she won’t have to sit on the uncomfortable floor. Y/N grabs Hilary’s hand and pulls her into the nest. They sit curled up together, only moving when Y/N starts to feel sick. When Y/N falls asleep, Hilary doesn’t move her, just shifts her so she’s laying more comfortably against Hilary. Hilary sets a two hour timer on her phone. She splits her time between watching Y/N sleep, making sure she’s comfortable and not in pain or having bad dreams, and googling tips for concussion recovery.
 After two hours, Hilary gently shakes Y/N awake. Y/N groans into Hilary’s chest.
 “I know baby, I know,” Hilary says softly, “But you have to wake up. Just for a bit okay?” Y/N lifts her head, pouting, with a look of betrayal on her face. Hilary can’t help but smile at how adorable she is. “I’m sorry, I know you’re tired, but you have to wake up for a bit. You know you can’t sleep for so long with a concussion.”
 “Don’t remind me,” Y/N says, “I know I have to wake up but I’m so tired.”
 “I know baby, but I’ll make it up to you, I promise.”
 Y/N takes her head out of Hilary’s chest after the gentle coaxing. Hilary keeps Y/N talking about anything she can to keep Y/N awake for 30 minutes.
 “Do you wanna move to bed?” Hilary asks. Y/N shakes her head. “Are you still feeling nauseous?” Y/N shakes her head again.
 “Don’t feel like moving.”
 “Okay baby,” Hilary says, kissing her head, “You can go back to sleep now, I’ll wake you up in a bit.”
 They repeat that cycle all night. Y/N complains every time she’s woken up and Hilary soothes her every time. Y/N gets nauseous once more, heaving into the toilet again, but mostly she makes it through the night. Hilary doesn’t know the extent of Y/N’s injury and she suspects the team doctors don’t know yet either. Hilary can only hope it’s not too bad, but she saw how hard Y/N hit the boards, she knows how bad even the mildest head injuries can be. If she’s being honest, Hilary wants Y/N to play again, but more than that, she just wants Y/N to get better, even if that means she never sets foot on the ice again. She’s so lost in thought she jumps when her alarm goes off. Y/N groans.
 “Sorry,” Hilary says, “But I have to go,” Y/N looks up and pouts, “I know,” Hilary chuckles, “I don’t wanna leave you either, but I have to join my team before we load up our stuff and move to the next hotel.”
 “You’re leaving?”
 “Yeah, but we should be back in a few days after our next games. It’ll go by quickly.”
 “I don’t want you to go,” Y/N says quietly.
 “I know.”
 “My head hurts,” Y/N sounds like she’s about to cry.
 “I’m sorry.”
 “You’re still my girlfriend right?”
 “Yes,” Hilary cups Y/N’s face, “Look at me, I love you and I’m with you as long as you’ll have me. I will always be your girlfriend.”
 “Good. I still don’t want you to go but it’s okay now. If you gotta go, you can go.” Hilary kisses Y/N softly.
 “Let’s get you into bed first.”
 Hilary helps Y/N up and guides her to bed, helping her lay down and tucking the blankets around her. She grabs the garbage can, placing beside the bed in case Y/N needs it, and sets a water bottle on the bedside table, along with some snacks if Y/N gets hungry.
 “I’m sure someone will be by to wake you up, but get some rest. Keep me updated how you’re feeling, okay? I love you.” Hilary kisses Y/N’s temple.
 “Love you too,” Y/N mumbles, clearly already falling asleep.
 Hilary leaves quietly. She heads back to her room and packs her things, going down to the lobby to meet up with her team. She runs into both teams in the lobby, both clearly having eaten breakfast at the same time.
 “Were you not hungry?” Jill jokes to Hilary. Hilary shoves her weakly.
 “Shut up.”
 “Did you sleep at all last night?”
 “Shut up.”
 “Because you do not look good, like you look bad. You look like you–”
 “Goodbye Jill!” Hilary walks to the other side of the lobby, ignoring Jill’s laughter behind her.

CHAPTER 1: CAUGHT THE FEELS
THE ATMOSPHERE AT SCHOOL TODAY WAS weird even for y/n’s standards, she and nayeon were the first ones there despite usually being the very last one of their friends to show up at the last minute
y/n walked around the school campus to see if anyone she knew was there still or if she and nayeon were truly early
after circling the entire school three times, she deducted that it was the latter, and wondered where her friends were
jeonghan was always at school at eight o clock on the dot and as of now, it’s eight ten and no signs of him, or the twelve others were there
she circled back to the cafeteria to look for nayeon and once she couldn’t find her either, she panicked
what if she was living a real life horror movie and she was next to go missing? what if they did something terrible to jeonghan? what it jeonghan was missing?
at the thought of that, y/n ran into the courtyard and almost screamed at the large “boo” that had to only come from jeonghan
“what the fuck hannie” the boy giggled and told everyone to stop hiding and to come out “wow, what was the reason” i crossed my arms and feigned anger but the small smile on my face gave away my true feelings
“we just wanted to scare you that’s all, don’t be to mad y/n” i turned my head to cheol after he said that and flipped him off which caused him to gasp “how come i get the bird and jeonghan gets a smile”
jeonghan chuckled and pulled me into a close hug and i melt into it “don’t scare me like that again hannie” “can’t promise not to but okay” “your reaction was hilarious lowkey y/n” “shut the fuck up joshua”
joshua gasped and him and cheol whispered something to each other causing them to both laugh “yeah yeah, come on let’s go to class” i looked at my cousin and flipped her off too
“Y/N ME TOO?? YOUR OWN COUSIN?” i giggled and squeezed jeonghan tighter
“of course nayeon, you know i love you though” nayeon rolled her eyes and giggled before she came up with a reply
“not more than jeonghan” “of course not, i’m the yoon jeonghan, no one is loved more than me”
i pulled away from him and placed my finger on my chin to pretend as if i was thinking “sorry hannie, ima have to disagree, i love cats more than you”
“and when you’re 30 with seven cats ima laugh” “shut the fuck up jeonghan” “finish puberty than talk”
i gasped and pushed the boy away causing our friends to giggle “i’ll have you know, i am done with puberty, bitch” “yeah yeah yeah, come on y/n let’s walk around before we go to class”
i rolled my eyes and took his right hand in my left and walked off towards wherever he wanted to go
y/n’s palms began to feel sweaty and she tried to find the reason as to why, she knew that she wasn’t nervous, she wasn’t hot either, so why?
she looked down at their connected hands and her mind exploded
no way it was because of jeonghan, was it?
oh no, her palms are sweaty because of her best friend
jeonghan seemed to notice the quietness of the younger girl so he nudged her with his shoulder “hey baby you okay?” “yeah i’m okay, why you ask?” “because your hands went from being ice cold to being sweaty as hell”
“i don’t know why, maybe i’m nervous” “about” y/n didn’t want to say ‘you’ so she settled on the first thing her mind came up with “i’m not sure, probably deez nuts”
jeonghan pinched me on my shoulder, causing me to yelp in surprise “deez nuts jokes are so old y/n and they aren’t funny” “yes they are!!”
jeonghan rolled his eyes and held onto y/n’s hand again “speaking of which, why are your hands so cold” i semi shrugged and swung our connected hands back and forth “i’m anemic”
jeonghan ‘ahed’ at this and i smiled “make sure you take your medication, we can’t have you feeling bad”
i smiled and hugged jeonghan while still keeping our hands locked “of course hannie, anything for you”
my heart started thumping harder against my chest and i wish it listened to my head when i said to stop, but the heart what the heart wants and mine wants to thump for jeonghan
JEONGHAN AND I CIRCLED SCHOOL UNTIL the bell rung at eight thirty to signal that first block was about to start
i walked into first block overthinking all of my encounters with jeonghan up to this one and none of them felt like this, and i unintentionally let out a melodic sigh
“what’s wrong y/n?” the sound of a chair being pulled out and the touch of someone’s hands on mine brought me out of my thinking “seri, i think i like jeonghan”
seri- aka my best friend other than jeonghan, was one of my favorite people, she would be there for me no matter what and give me the best advice she could at our young age
“you think? you’ve only been friends for twelve years it was bound to happen” i groaned and laid my head across the desk and seri laughed
“jeonghan and y/n kissing inna tree, k- i- s- s- i- n- g, first comes sex then a bae aye bee” “seri that isn’t the song what the fuck”
seri shrugged and giggled and mumbled a small ‘if the shoe fits, then wear it’ causing me to roll my eyes
“what do i do seri? if i like jeonghan like really really” seri was quiet for a moment until she thought of a response
“figure out how you feel about him then make a move y/n, don’t make a move if you aren’t sure”
i nodded and thanked seri for her advice and thought about if i liked jeonghan like that or if i was being delusional cause false crushes that last no longer than a week happen, and i sorta hope that it’s the case with me
“hey when i said think about it i didn’t mean now, focus on me instead” i giggled and told seri i would which caused the older girl to giggle and gossip until the bell rung indicating that second period was about to start
seri and i began to pack up our bags debating on what we wanted to do for the summer and i told her hang out with jeonghan and her face started to look suspicious
“what does that face mean” “oh nothing my y/n pie, except wear protection- can’t have you with kids this young” i gasped and began to hit seri on her shoulder
“seri what the hell? i can’t even be a mom right now, i’m taking all sophomore classes”
seri snorted and then punched my arm “how the hell are you taking sophomore classes y/n if me, cheol, nayeon, and jeonghan are all older than you if we’re still in freshman classes”
i stuck out my tongue at the girl and smiled “im too advanced and since i can’t just graduate at fourteen-
-they put me in advanced classes when i was in fifth and ever since i’ve even in classes for the other grade so, junior year i’ma graduate” seri’s jaw dropped and i shrugged
“that is so lucky? what do you even do with- no for a job being that smart” i shrugged at seri and she started listing jobs that were honestly stereotypical for someone to say to me, lawyer, doctor, politician, but i didn’t want to do that
“good options, but i want to be a designer seri, i’m going to major in fashion design and minor in business”
seri stopped and thought about it and smiled “you’re amazing at making clothes, so go for it, honestly y/n, i support it”
seri’s comment brought a smile to my face and i hugged the girl, because without knowing she made me feel alot better about myself “well you know if- jeonghan stop i was speaking”
before i could ask her why she said that, the pull of my backpack into someone caused me to let out a small yelp and then stumble
seri crossed her arms and jeonghan chuckled “i was talking to y/n ya know” “i do, but i do not care either, i had to ask my love a question”
at the pet name and my recent revelation that i liked jeonghan, my brain stopped functioning and seri noticed “
whatever, also, y/n remember to be safe” after that she let out a devious laugh and walked the opposite way
“i don’t like seri, but y/n, are you staying over my house for the summer?” “i got permission from my parents so, yeah, ima be living with y’all this summer”
jeonghan side hugged me and thanked me “you wanna come over today for dinner? my parents will drop you off”
i pretended to think about it and jeonghan let out a faux exasperated sigh “i asked nayeon to text your parent and they said it was okay”
“in that case no, byeee” jeonghan rolled his eyes and i smiled “is mama making stew?”
“shes asked you to come because she’s making it” “see you tonight jeonghan” “you better”
I STOOD IN NAYEON’S CLOSET FREAKING out over what to wear to jeonghan’s house, and she felt like i was trying too hard but i felt like i wasn’t trying hard enough
“why don’t you just wear your uniform over to his house?” “because why the fuck would i do that?” nayeon rolled her eyes and went into my room to grab an outfit
“here, pajamas that are comfy and cute y/n, but i don’t understand why you-” nayeon stopped and her grin grew wider until i saw her bunny teeth and i sighed
“YOU LIKE HIM” i shushed her until she was nothing but giggled and once she was quiet i admitted
“only took you a little bit to admit it but it’s okay y/n, have fun but not too much fun ya know” “i hate you with so much hatred, the fiery depths of hell can’t contain it”
nayeon waved her hand to indicate that i should be going because a car just pulled up in the drive way
“your mother in law is here! bye sis i love you” i placed a kiss onto nayeon’s cheek and walked downstairs to see my aunt and mrs. lee talking
“jeonghan is waiting in the car for you darling” “thank you mama” i hugged her and ran out to the car where jeonghan was and slid in beside him
“joshua and cheol are coming over too, i didn’t want them too, but they begged my mom and she said why not”
i giggled and asked if mrs. lee was gonna pick them up and he nodded “cheol is next, then shua’s, then my mom has to go to the store and then we’ll eat”
i nodded and smiled at jeonghan who appeared sleepy “you wanna sleep on my shoulder? i can wake you up when we’re at cheols house?” “y/n i love you”
i scooted over and buckled myself in the middle seat and let jeonghan rest his head on my shoulder
twenty minutes has passed and i began to get sleepy too, especially since his mom wasn’t in the car, i let out a small yawn and rested my head against his for a small second
but i still didn’t fall asleep because i wanted to stick true to what i told han, and i would stick through with it until i did it
a little while later, she came back to the car and saw the two passed out teenagers and smiled as she took a picture
she already loved the two of them way more than her heart could take, so she let the duo sleep in her car as she went and picked the rest of their friends up
telling the two boys to let the kids sleep
she had a good feeling about those two
CHAPTER 2: WHAT DOES LOVE FEEL LIKE
I EXCITEDLY WATCHED AS THE CLOCK WAS one minute away from dismissal time and i would finally be granted to go over the house i am so accustomed to
nayeon giggled at me as i gave her a hug and told her to call mrs. lee anytime she needs me and she rolled her eyes and scoffed at it and told me she loves and will miss me
next person to see was seri and i hugged her tightly until we decided to let go and she ruffled my hair and told me to have fun at the toons house, and told me if i needed a condom to call her
i smacked her head in retaliation
after saying goodbye to all of my close friends, i walked to jeonghan’s classroom and waited for him to come out, but instead his two friends did
“jeonghan’s pup is here” i rolled my eyes at seungcheols remark and flipped him off “yeah yeah but you’re the bitch though so”
cheol rolled his eyes at my rebuttal and i took that as a sign of me winning the petty name battle and joshua laughed and fist bumped me
“your boyfriend is talking to the teacher about advanced placement classes for next year” “thank you joshie” “you know he said your boyfriend right?”
i looked at cheol and shrugged which he raised his eyebrow at “you so do like him” “do not” “do too” “do not” “do not” “i know thank you cheol”
cheol rolled his eyes and i stuck out my tongue at his failed attempt to get me to admit my feelings out loud even if he was right “you do like him though, you dote on hannie as if he was a helpless little baby”
i smirked and before i said something, made sure he was still in his class “he is my helpless little baby”
joshua and cheol chuckelr and before either of them said anything, jeonghan was there taking my hand a muttering goodbyes
while at the same time my heart was thumping against my chest
AFTER I GOT TO JEONGHAN’S HOUSE I RAN straight for the kitchen so that jeonghan and i could make cookies based off of a recipe i had learned in culinary the other day
jeonghan being jeonghan was being a fucking menace with the flour and was throwing it at me anytime he got the chance to
rinsing off a bowl? flour on me
mixing in chocolate? flour on me
hugging jeonghan? flour on me
cleaning the previous flour up? flour on me
i frowned at the most recent time jeonghan got flour at me and hit him with the wooden spoon i was mixing with which caused him to let out a loud yelp
“you’re so mean y/n” “shut the fuck up and clean up the flour, you got it in your hair” the boy rolled his eyes and i giggled “matter of fact i’ll get you hair hannie”
“good, cause you were going to anyway baby, you know that right?” i smiled and finished up mixing the dough
“i do”
AFTER I FINISHED CLEANING THE KITCHEN i took a shower to get all of the flour off, while i was showering in jeonghan’s bathroom, he took the guest bathroom
i dried my hair and styled it into a long braid and threw one jeonghan’s tshirt and a pair of shorts i packed
as i applied my nighttime face cream, my heart thumped at the interaction i had with jeonghan earlier, and i sighed dreamily
he had no idea what he did to me
i chuckled at the memory of me describing how i felt to seri and she called it “coochie tingles” which caused nayeon and i to fail miserably at holding our laughs back
a knock to the door brought me out of my little thought and i replied a ‘come in’ because i knew jeonghan’s knocking by heart
“hurry up i want you to do my hair, also, cheol and shua came over, i hid the cookies” i rolled my eyes and told jeonghan to grab my hair care stuff and i’d help him and he did just that
i walked into jeonghan’s room and noticed how cheol was sitting on the floor and joshua was on my bed which caused me to roll my eyes
“jeonghan sit down at your desk chair hon” at my instruction he pulled the chair out to face his friends i situated behind him
jeonghan hasn’t gotten a haircut in over two years i believe so that caused his hair to be past his shoulders and idly resting on his upper back
“don’t tell me that jeonghan is about to get pampered” “you’re just jealous that you don’t have a y/n like me”
i stood behind him as i gently ran my fingers through his damp hair “did you use the daeng gi meo ri like i asked?” “of course baby”
i smiled at jeonghan’s pet name and began to comb through his hair and moisturize it since it had the tendency to get dry during this time
“not gonna lie, i’m jealous of you y/n, jeonghan doesn’t even let me touch his hair and i’m his bestie”
i raised my brow to joshua and he rolled his eyes “boy bestie” i smiled and began to part jeonghan’s hair to make sure i rubbed his scalp with some anti-dandruff serum
“i just love jeonghan that’s all” “we can tell” i shot cheol a dirty look from behind the chair and began to braid hannie’s hair
“y/n i’ll literally pay you to do that for me” “no, y/n’s only allowed to do it for me” “you heard him” “of course she listened to him, she’s like his puppy”
“shut up cheol”
and that’s how calling y/n jeonghan’s puppy started
CHAPTER 3: A FOOL FOR LOVE
SUMMER WENT BY IN A FLASH AND NOW IT was time for birthday season, seri starts it off with hers since her birthday is in late july, then cheol, then nayeon, then jeonghan, then me, and finally joshua
but now we made new friends with the first years and added them to the line up so it’s no longer just us ninety five liners
we have jinhui and soonyoung with june, some other kid named wonwoo with july and woozi with november so birthday season was packed
this year me and jeonghan we’re gonna have separate bdays since it’s our sweet sixteen and to be honest i’m glad, because being honest we had eighteen days in between our birthdays
and i really wanted a halloween themed party while jeonghan wanted to have a huge party with anyone and everyone from school
and he did, jeonghan’s sweet sixteen was the talk of the school for the next few weeks and being honest it should’ve been for the rest of the month
jeonghan had lights, seven tiered cake, a literal expensive home chef, and gift bags with gifts around $10 each and easily over 200 people came to celebrate it
and that’s what my family was going for too
the day of my sixteenth i wasn’t going to school much to jeonghan’s sadness, because my aunt was taking me to get a piercing, tattoo, and my hair dyed
for my party, jeonghan wanted to match and of course i couldn’t say no to the boy i was in love with so i told him yes
we settled on ariel and eric, and to make the costume more legit, i was actually dyeing my hair
my aunt didn’t want me to get a tattoo but i’ve only been begging since she known me so she agreed to let me get a small playboy bunny on my lower back
and as for the piercing, i got my left nostril, i eas terrified of needles and didn’t want to see it, so it was my best bet
THE MUSIC WAS VERY LOUD AT MY PARTY and i knew we were gonna have complaints from our neighbors and while i was walking all through out my party i saw someone i didn’t want there and frowned
areum, ever since seri let it drop to her cousin about my feelings for jeonghan, she would call me every name under the sun
from shaming me, to calling me a dog, to even stooping as low as to call my mom an alcoholic which she could only know from seri
i frowned and went to find seri who was talking to jeonghan, and her demeanor was lot more different and i frowned
“seri can i talk to you?” seri turned back and on her face formed a scowl and told me hurry up and she led me to a closet so no one would interrupt
“why did you tell areum that” “why not, it’s true y/n” “but that’s private seri? why?” “because i like jeonghan and she does too so why not talk shit about the main one who likes him”
a mix between a gasp and a sob escaped my lips and seri smirked “i thought we were friends seri” “correction we were, until you became a fucking yes dog for jeonghan when he clearly doesn’t want you”
“it’s a pity how you get attached anytime shows you a lock of attention, tag wagging bitch”
seri didn’t stop there and if she did, i probably the wouldve still talked to the friend group but she didn’t, she brought up my history of eating disorders and my lack of parents and it boiled over
boiled over to the point i punched her in the face causing her to scream and run out the closet
at the noise, our friend group ran over and went to tend to seri without even noticing me which caused me to scoff
the only one who came to my aid was joseph who i later learned to be joshua’s older brother and he heard me out
instead of everyone else who told me to leave because i caused seri’s nose to bleed and she was crying, even nayeon and jeonghan
i scoffed at the fact i was kicked out of my own birthday party and tears welled up in my eyes
that would be the last time i interacted with any of them
CHAPTER FOUR: BLAME IT ON ME
THAT MONDAY WHEN WE WENT BACK TO school, the entire friend group kicked me out without even listening to my side
my heart broke at the feeling of isolation and the only person who was there to console it was joseph
i tried not to get close, anytime i felt we were, seri’s words ranged through my mind and then i would cry
“it’s a pity how you get attached anytime shows you a lock of attention”
joseph didn’t mind though, and slowly but surely he developed feelings for me and since i was trying to get over jeonghan, who simply broke my heart with no regard i went for it
and i’m glad i did, because i felt happiness that i haven’t felt since i was friends with everyone, but the dirty looks, the bullying, and the way i would see nayeon and jeonghan leave when i come into the room broke my heart and i fell into my old eating habits
joseph and i talked about how i should just leave but i wanted to graduate first, so i settled on the next best thing
graduating early and moving to france
i tried to get in one last goodbye but no one would hear me out so i scowled and my love for the former friends started to boil into hatred
CHAPTER FIVE: GHOSTING
ITS BEEN EIGHTEEN YEARS SINCE ALL OF that, and i don’t even think about it, in that time i had graduated college at twenty and me and joseph gotten married shortly after
plus two years later i gave birth to our second daughter, sunhye, who proved the second kid stereotype to be nothing but true
life was looking up for me more than ever, my fashion business was taking off, i was happily married, had two beautiful daughters, and i was pregnant again
(some part of me believes that joseph has a pregnancy kink but i never plan on bringing it up)
life was good
until i realized i didn’t love joseph anymore, it was a terrible realization, my oldest was seventeen, sunhye was eleven, and the twins were ten and to top it all off i was pregnant again, much to my displeasure i wanted three kids but now i’m that plus four thanks to this baby making machine of a man
i came to the realization after driving home from a long day at work and i didnt even feel the urge to see joseph, i just wanted to eat and sleep, and joseph didn’t say anything either
i felt terrible, i was pregnant with the most lovely man’s kids, and here i was thinking of leaving him
but unfortunately minduelle noticed it too, and being the wise girl she was, she told me that we should divorce
so i put my big girl pants on and told joseph
me and joseph peacefully divorced and thanks to the prenuptial agreement we had in place i kept my millions and he kept his, and we became even better friends being honest
me and joseph were closer than ever and he even told me he met someone new, much to my delight and that lead us to our current situation
me and his girlfriend planning his 36th birthday while he was away at work, and our older kids playing together
michelle was a little older than me but still younger than joseph, and she had five kids to my knowledge and they ranged from 7-20, i didn’t mind, joseph still took care of our seven even if it meant driving an hour to fix a baby bottle
and it was better this way, i could focus all my time into being a mother, and when they were over his house, i would hold meetings with other company, making even more money, boosting my already high net worth to over 750 million dollars due to my fashion brand
i was in my home office when my soon to be 18 knocked and let herself in “mom i have to ask you something” i didn’t look up from my paper but i nodded and told her to continue
“what was the name of your first love because i think i just saw him” i put my papers down and peered at her over my glasses
“yoon jeonghan and where” “dads restaurant, i went to help and a man named joshua came in there and dad said he’s my uncle and when he came in he introduced his friend to”
i sighed and cursed at myself, i knew coming back to korea before the triplets were born was a terrible idea but my daughters begged me
i sighed again as i patted my chair next to me as minduelle sighed “i’m sorry mom” i raised my eyebrow to the girl and asked her why
“dad invited them to his party”
CHAPTER SIX: BRAVE FOR YOU
MINDUELLE AND JOSEPH’S BIRTHDAY WAS huge, their family was there to support my ex and our first born
what i didn’t expect was for my friend group from over 18 years ago to be there, i was over the incident, but i still didn’t want to converse with them
so i hid myself in my master bedroom with my three newborns until my twins and sunhye came into my room and begged to show me the dance they learned
i sighed, but not wanting to turn my daughters request down, i told them to grab their sisters so i could change into something that wasn’t my breastfeeding pajamas
i changed intro an outfit that i felt comfortable but also acceptable and i finally stepped out which caused my four daughters to run out and say mom finally joined the party
at this mention, i saw nayeon and her jaw was slacked and she got up and minduelle stood in front of me protectively which caused me to giggle 
“cleope, come here sweetie” my oldest twin ran over and i asked her to go ahead and show me the dance so i could go ahead and sing happy birthday to joseph and minduelle
my ex- aunt in law came towards me holding onto my youngest child and smiled “you look absolutely stunning y/n, postpartum treating you okay?”
i smiled and nodded and heard the telltale song of my daughters dance routine which i later learned were made by three of my former friends
apparently the song is called cheers and my daughters are obsessed with it and as the lead rapper came on, i watched as cleope stepped up then, sunhye , then finally cleope
towards the end of the wind i watched sunhye twerk a bit and i called out to her which caused everyone to giggle
after the performance, everyone clapped and i ran up to my girls “good job! i’m so proud of you girls, you did amazing”
before i could dote on my girls any longer i heard cleope shriek and turned around to see cheol, soonyoung, and jihoon who seemingly gotten permission from joseph to hug the girls
i rolled my eyes but let it slide because my girls did love their music and didn’t know that their mom had a notorious history with the three
but when sunhye dragged me over to meet her idols i sighed
the enthusiastic 12 year old introduced me to ‘s. coups’ ‘hoshi’ and ‘woozi’ and i felt as my face scrunched at the stage names
“i know them sweetie, i went to high school with them” sunhye gasped and asked if we ever were friends and i told her i would tell her later which caused nervous looks on the faces of ‘svt’
“lets sing happy birthday to your sister and father now love bear”
i gathered everyone into my kitchen which was very spacious and began to light the cakes that i spent a good amount of money on for the duo
i had a sparkler in my hand and screamed as it was lit by an ecstatic joseph and i screamed as i held it away from my body as it was lit
“fuck you, y- fucking fuck i wanna divorce hoe” “we already are” “i know i want another hoe” only then did i remember my kids were there and apologized as my daughter blew out her ‘18’ candles
CHAPTER SEVEN: BACK TO THE BASICS
AFTER THE PARTY, I WAS APPROACHED BY nayeon and i immediately turned her down and when she pulled the ‘we’re cousins card’ i told her she ditched me for someone who wasn’t
“two weeks after you left areum and seri began arguing and areum told us what happened, im sorry”
i scoffed at the apology she looked down “you listened to the bitches cousin, instead of your own, pathetic to be honest”
“i’m sorry y/n i know it’s late but-” “drop it, why would you bring this up at my kids party nayeon please drop it” nayeon dropped and walked away and i sighed
“y/n you look well how are you” i turned back and saw jeonghan and frowned “i am well, but please don’t speak to me, i didn’t even know you would be in my house”
“joshua invited us, joseph let joshua handle the invit-” “i know, i didn’t know you were coming though, i would’ve said otherwise then”
after i cut off jeonghan, minduelle came back into the kitchen and stared at the interaction “mom dad says you have a gift for me where is it”
i raised my eyebrow and told her it was on my dresser and she squealed while asking me if it was the mercedes keys “what the fuck you had snooped already?”
“of course i did, you go big with presents i had to, suck my toe if you’re offended” “i’ll break your toe minduelle”
“understood have a lovely night mom” at the interaction, jeonghan smiled fondly and asked y/n if they could talk
“why, you had the option to, 18 years ago, why at my daughters party” “because i don’t know if i’ll ever see you again” “that’s the point, i don’t want you to”
jeonghan sighed and i walked out of the kitchen and i sighed as well “if you see me in public, i’ll talk to you then”
jeonghan brightly smiled at this and i roll my eyes and scowl “don’t go looking for me either jeonghan” the male smiled and i walked out feeling worried about the possible interaction
CHAPTER EIGHT: I DONT UNDERSTAND BUT I LOVE YOU
i cursed as i seen jeonghan walking in the park along with two young kids with one of them being no older than two years old and the other being around seven
i tried to turn my back but the notorious triplet baby carriage gave it away and jeonghan had seen me much to my dissatisfaction
“hey y/n” “yoon” “can we talk now” “no” the look on his face was indescribable and i sighed “yes, only because i want my daughters to learn about communication” jeonghan thanked me and i hummed in acknowledgement
“staring off from your birthday party, i went to tend to seri because her nose was broken, i was gonna talk to you after, but everyone told me not to because they saw you as a attempted murderer”
“i see, but why didn’t you call?” “because of joseph telling us to let you go since we already hurt you, and maybe it for the best because i see that the two of you have a lot of kids”
i smiled and nodded and looked down to the three newborns who were all sleeping in the stroller
“so two weeks when areum and seri fought, areum confessed as to what happened and every one felt bad and tried to apologize, but then your aunt told us you left for good”
i nodded and smiled at the memory of first living in paris “and did, the only reason i came back is so that joseph’s parents can see the kids more”
jeonghan nodded and i sighed “i forgive you for what happened in the past, hell i hated you and the others, but after having kids i realized i just prefer forgiving and forgetting then moving on with my life”
“what if i don’t want you to move on y/n” my face was a mixture of different emotions and i asked jeonghan to clarify
“when areum and seri fought, seri said you had attacked her because she was going to set me up with areum and you loved me, and i asked every one if you loved me and they said it was true”
“back then i didn’t think about it, but i called you baby for a reason, and i may not have understood it, but i love you, and some part of me still does”
i frowned and asked jeonghan what was i gonna do with the info and he shrugged “give me the chance hopefully”
CHAPTER NINE: LOVE ME LIKE THIS
IT WOULD BE TWO YEARS BEFORE I GAVE jeonghan the time of day and took the fact that he might actually love me seriously
i invited our former friends back into my life, but kept them at an olive branch distance and being honest i don’t think that’ll ever change
but the way i started to see jeonghan did, he warmed up to my kids, and they loved him, even minduelle said she wouldn’t mind seeing us getting married, and that idea scared me
marrying jeonghan? fifteen year old me would have an aneurysm if she knew that he wanted to marry me, even if i didn’t even indicate that i seen him as more than an acquaintance
the thought of getting romantically involved with jeonghan terrified me, but the fact he’s been trying for over two years quelled my worries and i thought the possibility of being intimate with him wasn’t so bad, just as long as he treats me right
and he did, to the point his kids adored me and called me mama, jeonghan was serious about loving me and in the end, i gave him a chance
if he ruined that chance, then this time kids would be involved and i would honestly kill him but that’s neither here nor there
i fell in love with him again
CHAPTER TEN: LOVE YOU AGAIN
I AGREED TO MARRY HIM AN ENTIRE YEAR later and everyone was involved, from my three year olds, to my twenty one year old
my already big family went from seven kids in the age range of 3 to 21 to the range of ten kids between 3 to 21 and it was never a dull moment
minduelle graduated from college and met a girl whom she’s now dating
jeonghan’s son, junghyun is in his third year of high school and plans on going to a trade school
sunhye joined a dance group let by hoshi and is one of the top dancers in her age range
while cleope and clementine are waiting to do the same
jeonghan’s second son hyunjae is an absolute sweetheart and doesn’t give me a second to be alone much to his fathers annoyance
jeonghan’s youngest child eunbi, is learning new ways to focus because due to my prodding and encouragement, we found out she’s on the autism spectrum, so we’re finding alternatives for her
and my triplets aureliana, arielle, and aurora call him dad, with joseph’s encouragement
my household and heart feels complete and some part of of me hurts at the journey that lead me here, but would i change it?
hell to the no
because life became a full circle for me, and i for the opportunity to love jeonghan twice
