NSFW ALPHABET - ratman 5

AO3

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

incredibly tired, but will most likely play with your hair idly. you won’t need much intense aftercare with him anyhow

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

doesn’t really have one for himself, he doesn’t think about his appearance at at all. he really, REALLY loves your neck— everything about it is just so primal-y alluring for him

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

5 is absolutely disgusting when it comes (hehe) to this, he’ll finish on the wall and not even think about cleaning it up

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

spies on robert while touching himself. it gets him even more excited when he’s just doing normal things, like counting the holes or eating chips

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

no clue except base primal urges. sees a vagina and his eyes fully open for the first time

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

holding you down with his weight and mouth clamped on your neck— not even biting but just keeping you in between his teeth… that’s heaven for him

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

neither serious nor humorous, just pure eagerness

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

downy blond hair, full bush ;-)

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

silently breathing down your neck, full mating press, staying inside of you until he knows for a fact he’s got a great chance at knocking you up? if you consider that intimacy, go you!

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

hides in the rafters and overstimulates himself every other day

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

biting, voyeurism (noncon), has a very strong affinity for skimpy clothing because of one of 3’s lifted porn mags

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

again, the rafters in the ratmen hideout are his go-to, but you can persuade him to put out in the space between the fridge and the wall!

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

seeing even an inch of unexpected skin e.g. midriff, neck, thigh gets him going like a dog (rat?) in heat

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

each of the ratmen knows how short and unforgiving life is, so nothing is off the table in actuality

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

loves to fuck your face, even if you bare your teeth :-) maybe even more so! … do you really think this guy can give?

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

i don’t think it’s possible for any of the ratmen to go slow. 5 isn’t actually rough in this regard, but he loves it when you beg for roughness!

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

the only kind of sex you’ll get from the average ratman is a quickie, life is too short! expect major desperation each time from this guy though

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

again, everything’s a risk. he tends to stick towards the nest in the walls for that very reason. as for taboo kinks? sure, why not!

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

scarily long-lasting

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

experimented with a hairbrush once, hated it

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

5 paws at you a lot, you could consider that teasing if he gets majorly distracted by your chest

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

fairly silent besides animalistic grunting. i don’t think he’s capable of speaking any non-rat language

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

has often wondered if he could ever fuck someone with his nose. what a weird thought…

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

… much smaller than his nose

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

24/7, 365 baby!

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

immediately. very alert nonetheless. does he ever really sleep?

About Separate Ways (Spoilers)

Wow, guys. I was super excited to get gameplay footage/input from friends about Separate Ways (too broke to own the base game myself) to put into my longfic, but aside from some super cute Luis/Ada moments, I am... dissapointed.

Capcom hire me, at least I can keep the plot consistent because what the actual fuck.

Will discuss below to avoid spoilers (much more story than gameplay, but gameplay wasn't great either), but I'm not going into insane detail save for some things. READERS BE WARNED!

I'm also specifically looking at this through the lens of my own fanfic, Simulation Swarm, which is my take on how Las Plagas works and infected!Leon (in addition, infected!Ashley and a lot of Leon's unacknowledged trauma and relationship issues throughout the game series). I was majorly excited about Separate Ways because it implied that Ada also gets infected- which I really want to still implement even if it changes a LOT of major things about the fic.

I'll go over the good stuff first. AKA, stuff I'm keeping, and not retconning.

1- Luis' characterization was still amazing. It was really nice to see his character balance out Ada's, how he's still as chipper as he can be. Additionally, it's VERY clear how much he cares for Leon and Ashley alike, and he goes out of his way to get Ada the suppressant and still respects her throughout that process. 2- Pesanta/IT/U-3's design with slightly more of a scorpion shape. That was sick! 3- The fact that Ada was aware of most of Leon's movements and a lot of what happened, and in a way was following him around and handling things he couldn't/wasn't aware of. * 4- Ada didn't help Leon into the chair, Ashley did. But that scene isn't even shown. 5- Luis and Ada def had chemistry, and it was so cute!

Well! Short list. Now for the bad stuff. AKA, shit I'm retconning/ignoring/pretending never happened (most of the DLC).

1- Ada's infection is weird as fuck. She got... shot? And infected? And then, infuriatingly (because I've spent WAY too much time thinking about the physiology of Las Plagas and researching w/ the help of others how the infection would work) PUKES UP her plagas?!?!? HELLO!? This in particular drives me insane because like. Las Plagas nests and develops behind the sternum, between the lungs, where it can attach to the nervous system along the spine. It is TOO BIG for a human body to fight against, it's growth shoving lungs out of the way is why people cough up blood. It's nowhere near the throat or stomach and clearly it's extremely well engineered/evolved for human hosts not to end up in conveniently the wrong location. And if she did puke it up, at that point, miraculously, after two days? Her intestines are fucked. She's dying of internal bleeding. I don't fucking care how much of a bad bitch Ada is because at that point Wesker wasn't gonna help her. The fuck? Capcom, know your own lore challenge. 2- We got NO backstory, not even HINTS about Ada's past and origins. Again. 3- * Seriously made Ada's character into a very flat character and removed a lot of the urgency/clear want for her to help Leon from the original DLC. Seriously, she does not gaf about anything but her mission and making it more convenient for herself. Everything she does to help Leon is sheerly coincedence- which, honest to fuck, does not line up. Especially considering she appears to completely lack empathy until... uh oh, Wesker wants to kill a bunch of people? Like sure, she has that BRIEF conversation with Leon in the boat but like... what happened to the people she has history with, the people she could've ABSOLUTELY been saving to spite Wesker and allow her to have her own motives until whoop-de-doo, uh oh, gotta stop a genocide! Be so for real. 4- Bonus: After Luis helped her and she'd made the deal to get him out, he, still dying, calls her with a warning about Krauser. It took a long time for him to die. She SHOWED UP after witnessing the fight and pretty much just... left him. Despite all of that. Which I get from a 'not fucking with canon' standpoint, but seriously. 0 effort. 5- Krauser literally fucking gets away when she fights him???? 6- Wesker keeps making appearances. For some reason. It's not even clear why, he literally just shows up to be intimidating and to threaten Ada into doing the job but like. At that point, honest to fuck, he could've done it himself? Also it was majorly hard to empathize with Ada considering we STILL KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HER OR HER MOTIVATIONS. 7- Luis has no distinct fire trauma. (Okay. Revoking this after the discussion, I just had a no media literacy moment after everything I was taking in. Luis' response was actually pretty good and honestly? Should be appreciated. Though it does bring up another point- while I love Luis, I guess I was walking in with it more being an expectation for it to be 'Ada's Story'. We didn't get that, though the Luis background was great!) 8- Ashley's interaction with Ada was a single line asking for help and Ada just. Walks off.

Anyway, everything I've seen first hand and have discussed with others has left a sour taste in my mouth. Boo, @Capcom. Good thing I can make up my own stupid little stories and pretend that none of that happened.

just wanted to say Kashmir has always belonged to India

And you were saying why people of India is always about Pakistan is because Pakistan is always sending terrorist in India and we are not going to forget about the death of our indian army

And you were talking about BJP, BJP is the first political partie in India that has guy to ban the three times saying divorce means divorce many of female muslim in India support BJP for this

By your logic, Pakistan and Bangladesh also belong to India? Should they all just reverse their independence???

Personally, as someone with Kashmiri ancestors, I think yall should have Kashmir vote whether they wanna stay in India, join Pakistan or be independent altogether.

As far as the whole "announce divorce 3 times" goes, that's an Islamic thing okay? There's a way things are done in each religion, they don't have to provide u or the state reasons for that. I'm sure, whoever passed the ban probably thought he was helping Muslim women out or something but it wasnt BJPs problem to deal with. Besides... why... why are they banning hijab?? What good is that bringing to the world? Is it fair for the Indian Muslims to not be able to practice their religion freely, while Indian Hindus get to do it??? What about Muslims slaughtering animals on eid? Should we ban that too because the BJP, a majorly Hindu party, feels its uncomfortable, if not outright disrespectful because they worship cows??? Then, should Muslims be allowed to bash all the idols because they consider it disrespectful to have so many gods????

And look, Im mot saying Pakistan is completely innocent. I'm sure they've done terrible things too when minoritiesare considered (like blasphemyaccusations end up costing u your life there), but to consider the actions of few bad people and assume everyone of association is a terrorist is just downright stupid. Not even sad, pathetic, its stupid.

Should you be afraid of me because I'm a Muslim? Huh? Do you hate me now?

Thing is u are probably wondering why I'm being all Pro Muslims rn when every other community in the world is also suffering/had suffered through something bad... why I'm soooo "insensitive" to the Hindus pain?

Because you/whoever that anon was decided that the time to bring up the Hindu suffering is when I'm talking about Palestine. The fucking nerve. What you/that anon was trying to do was overshadow the Palestinian suffering, by bringing up Hindus. Not to mention, how they mentioned being afraid of Muslims now?? Idc how old u are, its not okay to be racist and its not my job to teach you right from wrong.

Now, you could say whatever you want about me- I give two shits. If you really care about Hindus suffering and what not, post about it on your blog. Raise awareness. But you can't guilt me into sympathising for your cause by making me stop talking about Palestine. I'm not forcing u to raise awareness about Palestine, am I?

AWEEE YAY I WAS HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE GUITARIST :)))) as always, can we know some more ab him :0

yayayay!!! aaaahhh! i'm so glad you're stoked. i tried not to be too obvious with the hints and give you guys just enough information to put the pieces together, whilist also kinda keeping you in the dark.

but now that that information has come to light:

i would Love to talk a little more about the ex-cd guitarist

— aka my son, ofc. xx

it's down in the crotch.

( what i'm calling the readmore now, smh )

so scott ( who i think is not white? i wanted to free raven from ringleading all the little white boys...i do kinda want to canonize androgynous asian panderverse kenny so that might happen...it does make sense that jimmy be our token white presumed straight boy...but anyways ) is half black, i have decided, and still has all his little freckles. i was obsessed with this site model man and i had no choice but to ravenstan him.

he is not from south park, same as the other cd boys.

however, unlike all the cd boys, scott was not a musician/had no interest in music. the reason that scott was even aquainted with the cd boys at all, is because during part 3, side a of the rm!flashbacks before the boys got famous and were living in their rundown ramshackle rat-infested ass LA afartment from hell, ravenstan and kenny were looking for roomates…

…and Bandmates in particular.

they put up the world's worst craigslist ad ( like when i tell you it was like a glittery blingee thing w/ like ass and titties all over it and dollar signs...kenny said graphic design is my passion & ran w/ it crying lol )

anYWAYS! they recruited jimmy like that, who was doing stand up comedy, but also went crazy stupid on the drums...they were skeptical of his skills bc of his disability ( boo! ) & IMMEDIATELY GOT HUMBLED!!! they were like You Are In The Band My Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( welcome to...a precd band name like Missed Universe )

after jimmy they had one more room and one more slot open, so they were searching, reviewing roomate candidates who were...Sooo Weird. like oh my god all of them were FREAKS, like, thats what you get, boys!!! for posting that boof ass apartment listing on craigslist!

...but at the very last moment, like a beautiful gift from the heavens above, scott malkinson was dropped on their doorstep, adjusting his big sweater and jeans, holding his textbooks and our hearts, lmao.

but no, he could not play guitar/wasn't a musician, he said, he was just a pre-med student at like ( stanford? usc? somethin like that ) and his scholarship did not cover room/board so he was majorly fucked becuase housing was so expensive tht he basically begged kenny, stan, jimmy to let him live with them & not b in the band.

which? was Fine, tbh.

ravenstan could absolutely shred on guitar bc his mom taught him ( sharon we miss u ) while singing, and with jimjamboree on drums ft. kenny on bass...they didn't really need another band mate...persay. they Did, however, need that four-way rent split because trying to cover their rent three ways when they all had really whack jobs to try and make ends meet...and scott ( who, granted was kind of awkward and weird ) was still the least weird candidate they'd gotten, he seemed consistent/reliable, was quiet, not messy, did his thing...

plus...ravenstan took a shine to him bc he had all the kyle freckles, the curly hair, was kind of tall, very studious and had diabetes, so he was like Absolutely! Welcome To Bro Haus, Compadre <3

but yes, moving on! with scott moving in <3 like i said, he kind of did his own thing. he was cordial-ish and all? but very quiet. would just come home from the OR looking exhausted and stressed and just immediately holed up in his room to read and shit. i also think he has super mega autism so his social interactions were really weird?

w/o him meaning to be? not in an aggressive kyle way, but in an embarassing, nerdy, deeply cringey way. scott just...was Not Cool. which granted, ravenstan is not cool, but his charisma is very natural and he's super personable and bubbly, he is also v confident when he drinks/enjoys having fun. scott is more like distant, skittish, strange.

all the pre-cd boys minus scott hanging in the living room, crushing beer and takis on their nasty boy couch from hell, w/ kenny nodding towards scotts room like...any1 else get serial killer vibes from him?

jimmy being like not unless you mean cereal killer ba dum tss! ( dead silence so jimmy is like ) yeah no dw he didn't laugh at that one either fml maybe hes the n-n-narc ( pre!cd jimmy's goal in life was to get scott to laugh bc he literally has not laughed )

and ravenstan was like be nice u guys!! :( i think he's nice hes just a lil weird yknow? mayb he just needs friends <3

and when scott comes home shuffling his papers and looking like a deer in headlights trying not to look at anyone ravenstan is like !!!

scott come hang with us on the couch we ordered way too much pizza and we need help finishing it...we also need help finishing this massive handle of vodka <3 come sit pecas :') <333

( side bar: raven does give everyone lil spanish pet names bc he loves them :* but jimmy and kenny are like thank u bestie idk what u said to me but kiss me lmao, scott tho!!! can Speak Spanish so ravenstan gives scott the chisme all the time oh my godddd j&k are like!!! boo wtf are u guys talking abt are u talkin Smack?! and scott and stan are like idk! ¡aprendan, boys! besitos xx )

BUT LIKE I WAS SAAAAAAYIN!!!

scotts like uh idk *nerd sounds* i'm not really sure abt that...i have a midterm but...yknow...he's never had friends before...so he sits down.

and at first he's not vibing bc he is a Straight And Narrow ( which is funny bc pre!cd early on scott was super closeted kinsey scale 6 gay and also was super religious because he lived with his grandma )

he also is kinda convinced all the cd boys are satan worshipers ( tru ) does not really fuck with their loud ass music bc he thinks its sinful even tho...hes kinda tappin his toe a little...he's just like scared to break into that world and break out of his bubble.

but you know, the boys chill with scott, ask him abt school stuff. theyre trying to be sweet to him even tho he is...the most uncool person ever but its ok bc they are all misfit boys. scott also does not drink ever, but then he's talking abt school and gets stressed so he's like what the hell? i'll have One Shot...i guess.

aND SCOTT IS A MEGA LIGHTWEIGHT AND HAS NEVER DRANK BEFORE WHEN TELL YOU MY MAN WAS ROOOOLLLING!!! he was being so fucking funny oh my god they were like SCOTT SCOTT SCOTT SCOTT!!! having him call out the fancy medical terms for parts of the body while doing body shots…OFF ALL DIFF PARTS OF KENNY STAN & JIMMYS BODIES?!

legendary moment...they were Obsessed w/ him.

he was super hungover after that and failed his midterm...but he had Friends :) and scott went from the weird lil guy living with them to Their Weird Little Guy. scott was their freakin BOY dude. I'm :(

he truly kept order in their shitty apartment, helped them figure out gigs and stuff...he was a little type a like jersey kyle, but way nicer, way less pushy and was mostly concerned abt being helpful. which wa a lot to do while he was doing hard ass med school shit, but he did it because he loved the boys n brought his textbooks & hw to their gigs...also like jersey but didn't heckle them :)

so eventually scott got ~Sindoctrinated~ into being bros with the cd boys ( he also denounced the catholic church and begun to come to terms with his sexuality...im love u, scotty ) BUT ALSO THE BAND!

because they were like scott, you gotta take the edge off dude!!! you should join the band!! you're like basically a part of it because ur like the super diabetic nerd boy glue that binds us together? please? xx

and scott was like omg idk guys i cant play an instrument!!! and mega schwasted ravenstan was like ;))) i will teach you; its easy <3

it was nAUGHT easy but also, ravenstan is lovely and very paitent, scott bc he's a super focused student, picked it up fairly quickly and in no time...

…he was Rockin and Rollin. ;)

OKAY THERES TOTALLY MORE BUT THIS POST IS LONG!!! that's some basic info on scott. an important part 3, side b distinction:

everyone...this is scott, who i would die for. <3

...and this is THOT!!! THIS IS THOT FUCKING MALKINSON WHO I DO NOT CLAIM!!! YES HE LOOKS GOOD BUT THATS NOT MY SON!

THOT FOULKINSON!!! >:////

anyways...that is all <3

ssiiiiiikeee!!!

-uncle nina, scott enthusiast

#rm spoiler #anyways i cant write anything in the comments really bc i dont want to drop his name not under a readmore #but here is a little info #sorry its kinda scattered ill write a more formal post later #theres def...a lot going on so just chew on this for a sec #also let me know how u feel idk what im doing #this is also all spelled wrong

oh, so many ideas so little energy and time,,, so ummmmm authors feel free to take a spin if you find something u like <3!!!!

---

1.) inspired by Loving you is beautiful (darkfic) by @rippersz — wherein reader learns to enjoy Larissa's red flags rather than slowly wilt from the distinct skewed version of love :)

Excerpt:

You've been hurt by the world.

Pain is the only thing you remember, ever since you were young. Always remembered a yearning hunger deep inside your heart. Wishing to be loved, to be saved by someone.

But humans were monsters— it wasn't until you've found yourself on the gates of the so called Monsters' precious academy that you've found what seemed to be the shelter from the storm that is your life; found the answer to your prayers.

Found her.

Your savior, your goddess, your beloved.

You won't lie, trusting such a vision was a bit hard to bear, because to be so lucky was not in your nature. But oh, Larissa is so tender, is so sweet, is so caring, and is ever so patient— to stay by your side, equal parts loving and protecting you from harm. You feel a little silly now, asking all those questions then, about her kind; of how outcasts like her lived.

Isn't it such an irony, that it took you finding 'monsters', to find humanity?

Well. Well.

--and thats all ive got for it rn lol--

2.) ICE SKATER AU or wherein reader was a former ice skater but has since been retired, and is a part of their past they'd just occasionally brush off for stress relief. Can either be a new teacher for Nevermore or the new barista in town, who gets pestered to sign up by their former partner & still best friend (also a new hiree crushing majorly on one Coach Vlad :]) to a local skating contest. They didn't initially plan to, but after overhearing that a certain principal was interested in seeing the performances, well... local disaster gay brushes off the dust off their skates ;3

"You. Me. The lake, with your skates. NOW."

"Woah woah woah Y/N, hold on a moment. I thought we were going to the booth to cancel—" Elijah says, but I whap him with a rolled up newspaper.

"Well, that was BEFORE I learned SHE was looking forward to watching the event." I start. "And since we both know I am a small, disaster gay with 0 rizz and speaking skills, THIS is my chance to get her attention! It's brilliant! It's foolproof! She'll never see it coming!"

"Who'll never see it coming?" Coach Vlad pops up half dressed behind Eli, and I blink.

"Hold up, are you guys—"

"Yes." "N-Um." The two men look towards each other, before looking back at me. Eli mouths a yes.

"I cannot believe YOUR fucking luck!"

Bestie in Christ I WISH I had the luck, skills, AND charisma of THIS manwhore of a bestie-slash-longtime-skating-partner I have. Maybe then I COULD grab a whole fucking date with one Principal Larissa Weems. Is it too much to ask???

3.) academy time! Morticia/Larissa/Reader or where before everything went downhill, three girls had a secret worth keeping. bc i need the "and they were roommates + they're galpals <3" soooo bad

4.) 5 times they kissed + the 1 time they didnt FLUFF & then major angst >:) bc i love me a relationship establishment fic and then the worst pain imaginable to man aka Wifey death /// or if more fluff, just 5 dates and 1 wedding (BUT OFC THEY HAVE MORE DATES) :)

5.) Sleepy reader being a clingy mess and touch starved Larissa sooooo torn between having to get ready for the day vs staying in bed for 5 more minutes just to savor r's presence :')

---

...and then the NSF ones

6.) Reader is being more of a brat than usual so Larissa punishes them the next day by making them wear a remote controlled toy for the WHOLE day & getting teased at the most inopportune times but they are not allowed to cum >:)))

7.) OH GOD TRADE OFF where usual brat reader has been a V good girl™ for some time and in turn Larissa allows them one (1) wish...... and R picks revenge by having mommy wear the accursed toy and being teased 👉🏻👈🏻

8.) R making Larissa jealous soooo bad they need to be taught a lesson, marked & properly bred to appease the green eyed demon in Larissa's mind :) :) :) (and it works out bc R has been. entertaining v v filthy breeding kink thoughts oop)

9.) R has quite the closet of costumes and they find a cat maid cosplay 👉🏻👈🏻 practicing their meows and nyas and being all cute not knowing Mommy's been watching from the door the moment they started meowing

10.) oblivious reader unknowingly teasing Larissa all day and the woman is abt to FUCKING burst in horny except oh no???? reader was not oblivious and this has been part 7 of the 10 step plan to get Larissa as her gf >:))))))

#i am nothing is but a small and gay mess and i blame tall mommy for it #having so much clown thoughts abt a larissa weems x reader fic idea and im wondering if i can even commit to writing anything #larissa weems x reader #larissa x reader #fic ideas #insp

i don't know josh please tell me about him. if u want

ough i would love to. this is going to end up so much fucking text because i don't know how to be concise so courtesy readmore also the linebreaks might make no sense but it's better than a massive chunk of text which is what it was initially before i realized that is Awful

ok so josh(ua majkavić) is my character for my friends and i's monster of the week campaign The Body and like his entire character concept is being if damien thorn or rosemary's baby or any other human-raised demonspawn grew up to become a guy who sucks. he grew up around the appalachian part of georgia but has been living in the general area of chicago with his ineffectual nerd roommates for most of his adulthood now

he's pretty majorly depressive/somewhat of a doomer, terminally insincere, and is generally predisposed to cruelty, but he's a pretty funny guy mostly intentionally. in all reality he cares quite hard and usually does not actually mean to be awful but it is literally his nature it makes him feel kind of bad sometimes but he also genuinely has to throw up if anyone cries around him. he also did beat a kid on an opposing roller hockey team to death when he was like 15 and made blood and dead fish rain on his town for about 12 hours don't worry about it.

he doesn't really leave his room if he can help it he has a really scary like prison gym setup in there and a carefully controlled climate both so he can keep as covered up as possible all the time and so his intricate crypto rig(/only source of income because he doesn't want to be a line cook again) doesn't catch on fire

has tyler durden-esque god-daddy issues despite having no father involved in his creation and is a COLOSSAL momma's boy to the point of getting about as close to being a misandrist as a cis bi man can get. speaking of which his mom (rosemary<3 aren't i clever) is a slightly hippieish cultist who had him as part of a ritual so he can bring about the radical change her group wants and bring about the end times but she also loves her baby (29 year old son) so so so so so so so much. he knows that most kids didn't have animal sacrifices at their birthday parties but he doesn't feel like having that conversation with anybody!

ok anyway ummmmmm let's see. he is the kind of guy that shaves his head in response to any occasion of major stress. starting as a young teenager one of his favorite hobbies was writing gruesome chainmail stories and he stopped in his early 20s but he thinks about going back to it sometimes. he was hooking up semi-regularly with their now-dead roommate and that is going to be a bigger deal than he ever expected it to be. his favorite movie is martyrs and his favorite game is cs:go which he is VASTLY toxic in. he's 5'10" and gets insecure about it sometimes. while he is quite good with computers he is still the least tech-inclined of his household and he recently clicked on a sketchy link his sister's hacked account sent him once and his roommates have lost all faith in his internet safety knowledge and he is suffering the consequences more in that way than he is in actual damage to his pc. he has a really bad tattoo somewhere but i haven't decided where or what yet a tribal tattoo is tempting but almost feels too obvious for a former linecook

he is very fun i think i do a bad job at describing him in a way that doesn't sound intolerable to play with i promise everyone loves josh. i still have not finished art of him at any point but the best i have to offer is this. jotch at 29 at the time of the campaign, around 15-16, and at his ninthish birthday with his mom:D

#sory for such a late response i have been busy and my phone hates answering asks badly #i also have no concept of which of these pieces of information are at all interesting i'm just saying shit #AND THANK YOU FOR SHOWING INTEREST BTW ;_; i love seeing you tabletop post

i'm new. who's the ur oc u think should be punted the most

ok this is hard because theres 3 characters in particular that suck pretty bad.

the first one ill say is henricus's father, the king of talithen. i have never drawn him or named him because i hate him that badly but he is absolutely crucial to henricus's story. like, that guy is so evil and shitty that he caused the entire plot to happen. raising a kid and convincing them that theyre going to bring the destruction of the world is sooo evil. he should be punted for this.

the second one is aster. the tldr for his story is that he was a fucked up wizard who cursed various people with amnesia. one day the spell majorly backfired (long story) so he gets to rebuild his life as a normal guy. but he slowly figures out that he used to be a bad person. he wants to punt his past self for this. he'll probably actually get punted for this too

the third one is lucerna. lucerna is a magical girl who sucks. she's evil as fuck and she works for the military and she's always trying to stop silhouette's plans. silhouette is the hero of the story and she is like if a shadow was a girl. lucerna is also like weirdly attracted to sil and is conviiiiinced that theyll end up together for no reason. like she thinks an ememies-to-lovers thing is possible but thats 1000% one-sided. she should also be punted for this but in her defense she is also really funny

#oh and to be clear sil and lucerna (and lucille not mentioned in this post) are a totally separate universe than the rest of my ocs LOL #everyone else is like a fantasy world that ill sometimes call henryworld #anis gaymer moments #oc tag

I know Nate and Eddie are brothers asnd love each other greatly…..imagine Nate (who got the lead in the school play) all the drama girls have major crushes on him and the cool guys in class start ganging up on, pushing him around, being plain mean.

what would Eddie do?? (I loved that small bit we got with Eddie paying nate to do his work) we need more brother time 😂

god the theater girlies would LOVE our little nate

eddie, bless his heart, is a tiny little guy, just like nate, but he does run with the more popular crowd at school, i'd imagine, so you bet your ass he'd start fights with anyone who tried to bully his brother

eddie, blood dripping from his nose and his knuckles bruised as he walks through the front door, grinning widely: mom! dad! i got in a fight!

r's mom: what.

r's dad: son, you're 12. how did this happen?

eddie: some guys were picking on nate. gotta do my older brother duties

nate: ur 3 hours older than me.

eddie: c'mere, twerp. i'm gonna beat u up

because, yes, while he's majorly protective over his brother, he also likes to make fun of him. they've got that 'only i can make fun of him' relationship

how do art trades work? /gen I'm interested in the idea but don't understand them like unless the artists are in the same area is it strictly digital? Or would the art be mailed to the person?

i’m sick so no art but i can totes answer this

this is how i do my art trades, but it differs from person to person

- start off by asking the person u wanna do a trade with. some people will wanna see ur work, but i trade with just about anyone. make sure they’re credible and won’t scam u before u trade though (i usually do this by checking to see if they’ve done any collaborative projects, commissions, or art trades before)

- decide what ur doing. ie u can draw a headshot, bust, half body, full body, scene, etc, it’s up to you guys. send what u want the other person to draw (it’s usually an oc, but i’ve also seen people use characters from media n stuff, so once again it’s up to u). sometimes it also helps to set a “deadline” of sorts (ie, have it done in a week, 2 weeks, etc) i also think it’s important to keep the person updated. if it’s taking longer than expected let them know so they don’t think ur scamming them

- i usually send progress pics and make sure they’re happy with what they’re getting

- and then once ur done just send ur art and the trade is completed :3

i can’t speak much for traditional because i’m a majorly digital artist. what i’m assuming is the trad artist will just take a good pic of it and send it as their side. i’m not too sure if mailing the piece is typical, i think that’s more normal for a commission. but also idk! i don’t do traditional and also haven’t traded with someone who draws traditionally

anyways, hope this helps :3

1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12 for Borderlands

[From this !] Thank u for the ask now I get to practice my VIOLENCE

1- The character everyone gets wrong

Hate hate hate hate hate how so many people write Rhys. Rhys is a character who's whole appeal {personally} is that he is very much Just Some Fucking Guy. Before the stories of Tales happened, Rhys was just some random dude who wanted to make it big, and afterwards, when he gets the opportunity to, he's still Majorly not his own person. He's influenced by the player in a meta sense, but also by Ugly John. This guy's identity is based off what the situation demands and what other people expect of him, and yet no one ever seems to acknowledge it, favoring instead his fucked up relationship with H.J as the sole atribute of his character [and this WILL pop up later trust me].

The guy has potential and the game acknowledges it (by the games own words, he rebuilt Atlas, became the CEO and even invented some cool new tech along the way), but he is NOT ALL THAT and I'm TIRED of people acting like there is that much substance to him. Just say you want the white men to kiss, stop putting on different hats on this guy and acting like hes all that

4- What was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

Moxxi slander. I swear, anyone who says Mad Moxxi is "annoying" or "a bitch" is 20% of the time a misogynist and 80% of the time a Handsome Jack sympathizer who thinks that she should've had some pity on The Active Space War Criminal. And this person did exactly that so yk how it is

6- Which ship fans are most annoying ?

Rhack shippers. No doubt. Partly because of my own personal gripes with how this dude is characterized {see: number 1}, but also because it's genuinely just so boring 😭 you can write this ship a thousand different ways but ultimately it boils down to "We need these white men to kiss" and nothing else. Also the whole "this guy manipulated this other guy for the entire time they interacted and then tried to kill him" thing.

8- Common fandom opinion everyone is wrong about.

There's nobody who is good in this game I'm sorry to all apologists out there but all these guys suck ass. This isn't a competition about who's most morally correct it's about who your favorite criminal is ok

9- Worst part of canon.

The way they don't expand on lore, not even a little 😔 Please just tell me how ancient eridian people got their hands on an Atlas gun all of a sudden. Or at least tell me something about Sirens. How does the magic in this universe even happen. For the love of God HOW did Pandora GET LIKE THAT how is anyone there LIVING. PLEASE just CRUMBS OF INFORMATION you can't have me guessing everything you're presenting !!

+ How they don't expand on characters. Like come on let me hang out with these guys they're so cool :(

12- The Unpopular character you actually like and why more people should like them.

Tannis Tannis Tannis I love you cringe fail autistic woman. I don't see nearly enough appreciation for her. Matter of fact, I see a lot of people hating on my girl like :[ Leave her alone. Here's my comprehensive list of reasons why you should actually like Patricia Tannis.

1- So smart. She seems to be one of the only 5 people who know anything about the setting and who actively tell you about related history. She's one of the only sources of knowledge on Eridian culture we have in-game, which means this also extends over to Sirens, magic and the vaults. Relevant stuff yk !!! /// 2- She's COOL LOOKING okay. Her design is more down to earth and restrained compared to other characters, and it makes her stick out a little more imo. It's also just wonderfully practical which fits for her being a researcher and scientist. /// 2.5- Girl... pretty... /// 3- This woman is so autistic have I mentioned that yet. Because she is. She unfortunately does fall in some pitfalls in terms of stereotypes {I.E: nerdy personality with tendencies to be rude to people, the whole facts and logic thing, etc} but also damn she is so relatable. I too feel nauseous at the thought of a social interaction but still actively crave to have conversations with other people. I also struggle coming up with words at the time of most need. I too have like 3 people who actively take me places and make me feel comfortable (SEE: Roland, Lilith, the VH in some cases). I too humanize objects and talk to them because of loneliness. That's so true. She's so real for that.

A Look At Stuff You Probably Never Heard Of: Brawl in the Family

Another webcomic today, and a pretty charming one, too. One you can sit with your family and read together, especially if they’re fans of Nintendo and video games as a whole. But mostly Nintendo. Today, I give you... Brawl in the Family!

Brawl in the Family is a gag-a-day webcomic created by Matthew Taranto and the first issue would be uploaded on June 13th, 2008, with the webcomic primarily centering about the characters of Nintendo, all existing in a single unified world, al a Super Smash Bros., to which Matthew drew inspiration from. The first several issues of the comic were about 3 pages long, sometimes extending to 4 or 5 and most of those were merely “Kirby eats something” gags.

Of course, the main character of the comics is Kirby, and by extension, his ill-tempered rival, King DeDeDe. Though they would eventually extend to more varied gags with more characters, such as DK accidentally blasting a bird when he tries putting his bananas in a Blast Barrel or the Lon Lon Milk that Link had on hand being long-since expired during his 7-year slumber. Not to mention Adeline and Bandana Dee (or merely Waddle Dee) would end up becoming majorly recurring characters.

As stated before, the comic is largely gag-focused with each upload being a simple gag. But on occasion, there will be longer stories, such as one where DeDeDe and Meta Knight are stuck together via a Gooey Bomb and they try to get it off (the series goes on for 7 parts) or one where Kirby is taken to court in Ace Attorney with Edgeworth as the prosecutor and Kirby’s best friend, Diddy, in place of Phoenix Wright and DeDeDe as Manfred von Karma.

And since all these Nintendo characters exist within the same world, they all have noticeable relationships with one another; such as Samus dating Captain Falcon.

There’s also more to the comic than just gags. There are times where there’ll be something akin to a story; not like the Gooey Bomb story, like I mentioned, but things actually happening. There’s one that shows DeDeDe and Meta Knight when they were younger, attending school together.

Alright, now it’s time for the Final Recommendation Never Let Go Of It||Get It||Hold Onto It||Try It||Consider It||Stay Away From It

Like I said at the start, the comic is very charming and completely family friendly. No swearing, overt violence, or anything like that. Just gags and occasional heartwarming moments. The gags themselves aren’t just limited to wacky situations, but sometimes poke fun at game mechanics, like Mario and Luigi messing with Bowser’s insides to make him do various things (Bowser’s Inside Story) or Crocomire actually being polite when his roars and other sounds are translated.

There’s also an entirely new character added to the series known as Eario, who serves as the janitor for the Mushroom Kingdom,

More than that, Matthew has occasionally used the comic in reaction to video game news, such as reactions to E3, making a tribute comic starring Howard and Nester because Nintendo Power was ending, or even a tribute image when Satoru Iwata passed away.

The comic itself would eventually come to an end on October 3th, 2014; the comic started around the time Brawl was released, so it ended on the same day Smash for 3DS and Wii U came out. The comic had 600 issues, not counting intermissions or the extra pages/updates after issue 600.

And before I end this, I want to say that Matthew has also released; most of being voice-acted versions of his comics or even singing in some of them. Here are some of my favorites. And the comic itself can be found here.

youtube

And with that, I’ll see you guys next month for October. What spooky thing do I have planned? I’ll give you a hint; it relates to Sesame Street. Not directly, but still.

Epic swag villain asks-

For Azale... Syndrome, Tamatoa, and Mor'Du?? However many of those u wanna answer

And for Jupid, how about Alien? (This is a joke)

[For Azalea]

SYNDROME: Was there ever a point they could have been a hero?

-Oh there were multiple points. So many points. Literally at any point in his life before he decided to get into politics he could have been a better person, and honestly if he quit early enough in his political career his path still wouldn’t have been as villainous. If only he was a small town mayor for a few years before deciding to switch careers but alas, he turned out like this </3 but here’s some of the more major turning points in his life where things could have gone differently

I think the first key point that formed his views/outlook today is joining the military as a young adult. I unfortunately haven’t really named the conflict or figured out too many details but the TL;DR is that he went to fight in an imperialistic war and thought it was 100% justified and got radicalized because he’s fucking weird <3 If he hadn’t had that experience I don’t think he would have developed such a strong drive to get directly involved with politics and tbh he probably would have avoided it altogether. Also funny story but he barely met the height requirement at the time when he joined… if only he was just a tad shorter…

This one was in college. Azalea is a huge perfectionist and he wants to constantly do better than his past self, and this translated to him going absolutely fucking insane with studying. If you can’t already tell, he is a Highly Stressed And Anxious Dude. He began to develop a bit of a drinking habit, though he mainly just maintained a state of tipsiness as a shitty second rate anxiety treatment. He never majorly messed up in his studies but man if he did I could honestly see him drinking more to cope with the fact that he’s failing and then completely flunking out of school and just isolating himself while going from dead end job to dead end job for the rest of his working life. Failure is a massive fear of his and this would have fucked him up bad enough to where I don’t think he’d even try to get back to where he was before. So like. Unironcally he would have been a better person if he just went full alcoholic and destroyed his life lol

So by this point in his life he’d already strayed pretty far from the hero path because. well. he’d currently be a dictator by this point. But man he really didn’t have to start an unnecessary and ideologically fueled war huh </3 like come on man maybe former territories are former territories for a reason and you don’t have to invade them 60 fucking years later but what do I know <3 And god I don’t know how to succinctly explain the fictional politics around this point bc this conflict is actually more developed(mainly because uhhh this is when the main story happens lol) but here’s another TL;DR - cringe guy invades his neighbor while internal political tensions worsen, gets ganged up on by his other neighbors causing him to start losing, THEN a second civil war happens due to said internal tensions and the overall shitty conditions of uhh everything. Like good job man you really did great things for everyone :)))

I know You’ve seen me post massive essays about this world’s politics on discord but for any random people seeing this I cannot possibly fit it all into one ask because we’d be here all day <3

TAMATOA: What is your antagonist's theme song? (or playlist)

-So a lot of his playlist is based off an event in his backstory that I later removed because it didn’t make sense #oops but here is the link. I think the song that my brain mostly associates with him is poison apple by uncle acid. Somehow my brain decided to associate him with stoner rock <3 OH and also masked jackal by coroner because that’s about being a corrupt politician :D Though honestly he’s not traditionally corrupt in the sense that he bribed people or anything, he just has awful views and policies.

MOR'DU: How are they different from the hero/How are they similar?

-This is such a sexy question because I’ve thought about this in depth in the past. It’s also sexy because Aureus himself isn’t even much of a hero, though of course he is leagues better than most of the characters in this universe. For similarities:

Aureus and Azalea both struggle with morality to some extent, albeit in different ways. In Aureus’ case, it’s a huge deal for him, so much that instead of facing the fact that he was wrong, he instead just changes his moral compass so his actions fit within it <3 Eventually his actions do catch up to him and he can’t rationalize it anymore and he kinda loses his shit and has a breakdown but that’s a ramble for another day and also something that happens post-story. In Azalea’s case, his desire to be right mainly stems from his longing to succeed. If what he’s doing isn’t the correct thing, then wouldn’t that just be failing? Occasionally the thought will come into his mind that he’s not doing the best thing in the world, but he pushes it away because he doesn’t want to deal with it <3 If only this bitch actually self reflected.

They are both very anxious people, but once again the core motivation is different. In Azalea’s case, his anxiety stems from insecurity and the feeling that he’s not, and will never be able to be enough. For Aureus, a major source of anxiety is him being found out for being a spy which is a. pretty obvious one. But another one is he gets overwhelmed with the expectations of life very easily, and he often feels like the world is too fast paced for him. I decided to project my dyspraxia onto him and this is mainly why and wow this is reminding me that I should post a dyspraxreus ramble explaining how it affects him someday ANYWAYS back to the point-

-As for how they’re different…

So this first point is for basic differences. Mainly: Azalea is extroverted while Aureus is introverted, the massive height difference between the two, their conflicting political values, etc etc. uh uhhhh Azalea is outwardly friendly and polite while Aureus can be kind of cold and a bit of a prick sometimes… yeah

Okay so I am losing steam </3 but a lot of their differences are kind of explained in the similarities section since the root of their respective issues are different for each of them

[For Jupiter]

ALIEN: Are they a parasitic, acid-drooling, two-mouthed terror?

-Hi for some reason I misread two-mouthed as unwashed, which he is indeed unwashed a lot of the time however that was not part of the question lol. But yes he is all of these things… and more………….

#my ocs #agent blackthorn #text post #oc info #fenris azalea #jupiter ludwig #this is the first post in his tag and he deserves it because he is cringe and fail #not art #ALSO THIS GOT OUT OF HAND I THINK LOL #I have thought in depth about azalea #I love him but in a throwing him down the stairs kinda way #also i have been tormented by phone calls for the whole day and I worked on this during the downtime epic distraction moment #oh I should tag aureus too bc I talked about them a bit #aureus morozov

author’s note: hello everyone ! i am BACK with a royal au! ꒰◍ˊꈊˋ◍꒱ i’ve been watching a lot of reign and the crown… too many period pieces. so i just had to write something with prince jungkook bc i kept imagining him being this obnoxiously sweet guy wanting to waltz with you everywhere ♡ i hope you enjoy!! i hope to turn this into a series so pls lmk what u think! also if u see a typo… shhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! no u didn’t ♡ =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇)

no one believed you when you told them you were a princess.

albeit, you do say it in the weirdest situations. passing moments with strangers in coffee shops and when you’re checking your groceries out. usually, you never saw the person again. this time you decided to tell your best friends in the middle of a club, because jimin suggested truth or shot. and you, being self aware that alcohol and your brain do not mix, told them that you were the daughter of a king. therefore, making you a princess.

they laughed it off at first. until they realized that you weren’t laughing.

“oh, you’re serious?” seungyeon quips. her eyebrows raised along the shot glass in her hand. the vodka almost spilling out when she pulls it back. “how?”

“it’s kind of a long story.” you scratch the back of your neck. you then proceed to tell them your entire life story. how you were born into the raemor monarchy with your father being the king and your mother being the queen, which leaves you to be the crown princess. then about how you wanted to spend time outside of the kingdom and not be shut off in raemor for the rest of your life. you know, literally everything.

you’re not exactly supposed to tell anyone. part of you feels like you’ve majorly fucked up, but the other half doesn’t really care. nothing happened the last few times. what’s the worst that could happen?

you were very, very, very, naive.

there were newspapers, articles, tweets, and posts about how the princess of raemor is not actually in raemor. they didn’t exactly know where you were, there were tips that you were in los angeles, new york, seoul, tokyo, basically every major city in the world. you came to a conclusion that someone at the club overheard the conversation you were having with jimin and seungyeon; then the media mixed up the locations, all of them unaware where you actually were, but they just knew that you weren’t where you were supposed to be.

soon enough, you woke up to your phone ringing with a contact that was all too familiar but so rare at the same time. “dad?”

“princess,” he replies. you can’t tell if he’s angry. his tone is calm, but you bet he wants to tell you off.

he sent you off, allowing you to explore and live because he wanted you to be happy. on your sixteenth birthday, your father asked what you wanted as your gift. you said something along the lines of get out of here and experience the real world. you were an angsty teen, you’ll admit it. nevertheless, he listened and allowed you to.

royalty isn’t like how it was back then, when you had to stay trapped in a castle twenty-four seven. your parents would probably like that more than you being thousands of miles away from them, but they still wanted you to be content. so they let you; sending you off with a trusted advisor, an apartment, and an allowance that would keep you fed for years and years.

there was only one rule: don’t tell anyone you’re a princess. specifically, don’t tell them the kingdom you’re from.

your father was already paranoid to start off. power hungry kingdoms could and would do anything to get their hands on the crown princess of raemor; one of the top three most powerful kingdoms in the world.

no one knows what you truly look like, so they wouldn’t be able to spot you even if they happened to be where you were. there was a rule that princesses need to cover their faces with a veil at every public event until they were eighteen. it was set by your great grandmother, the queen; she hated seeing her nieces and granddaughters fight off the stares of creepy men, so she protected them while the king would keep the men in line.

knowing that the public has never seen how you really look, he felt a sense of relief. still, sending his only daughter off worried him terribly, but he loves you so much, he’d do anything for you to be happy. he’d also do anything for you to be safe. so you were told to hide the fact that you were royalty, at all costs.

“did i mess up?” you groan, rubbing your hand over your face.

“i’m afraid so, sweetheart.” he laughs a little, easing the tension you feel in your chest. “blue will come by to pick you up and help you pack your things, you must come back to raemor immediately.”

it’s been a while, five years to be specific, that you’ve been away from home. you’re excited to see everyone, you always wonder how everyone is; your parents, your friends, jungkook. but the other part of you knows you’re gonna miss the city, your friends here, and everything you’ve got to experience that you didn’t have the chance to in raemor. there is still a yearning in your heart to go home; after all, home is where the heart is.

the first person you thought of was jungkook. your best friend since you could remember. you think about him often, if not everyday.

you wonder how he’s doing. the prettiest prince in all of the kingdoms. no, seriously. the christmas festival before you left, they held a ‘most handsome prince’ competition. you remember teasing jungkook about how his mom entered him in the competition without him knowing, and how he ended up winning. he got a specially engraved sword with his family name on it and then some other things, he didn’t get to show you them because you left right after the festival ended.

he’s probably prettier now. if he was declared the most handsome prince of all the kingdoms when he was seventeen, then you’re kind of terrified to see how he’s grown. he’s probably breath-taking. stunning everyone when he walks into a room. he’d always been that way in your eyes. it wasn’t just because of his looks, but his presence. his personality and aura, it demands attention. even when he’s not trying, he’s the best at everything.

you found yourself both falling in love with him and partially hating him because of it. mostly because there is no other guy like jungkook. you can still attest to that now. it’s annoying sometimes. you’ve met hundreds, probably thousands of people by now and yet, none of them shine as bright as he does.

“___?” jimin groans. the sunlight blares through the window and is pointed directly at his face. he holds his hand over his face to cover the bright light when he asks, “why are you packing?”

“i fucked up,” you admit. you’d started to pack when you got off the phone with your dad. the clothes you folded neatly pack into your luggages. seungyeon wakes up too, the noises make her slowly open her eyes. “i gotta go home.”

“huh? where?” both of them ask. sleep still woven into their voices.

“raemor.” you answer.

“are you fucking with us right now? swear to god, i thought you were telling us a bedtime story.” seungyeon groans. jimin is sitting up fully now, watching as you lift your luggages onto their wheels and pull up the handles.

“i wish i was— my bodyguard is picking me up soon.” you tell them, showing him the texts between you and blue.

“well, fuck— bitch, give me a hug.” seungyeon lifts herself off the couch when she realizes the severity of the situation. you had the most serious expression on your face, they’ve never seen you like this before. she gives you a hug, swaying the two of you around for a little bit. jimin joins in on the hug, reality washing over him, making him realize that his best friend for the past five years, is leaving.

you’d met jimin when you moved into your old apartment, he was your neighbor actually. he was always super nice. back then, you didn’t really know how to make friends outside of raemor. in the kingdom, your friends were people that your parents raised you up around. it’s hard to explain, to keep it short, their friends gave birth to children, and those kids ended up being your friends. you didn’t really need to try to make friends, you just happened to have people around you.

so one day, you knocked on jimin’s door with your supervisor, venus. a shy smile on your face when you offered the cookies the two of you just baked to him and his family, “i’m new in town, do you wanna be friends?”

the rest was history.

after your eighteenth birthday, venus left you to fend for yourself in the real world. your eighteenth marks your official adult era; therefore, you didn’t need a supervisor anymore. the kingdom acts as though when you turn eighteen, you automatically know how to be an adult. venus expected you to know everything; how to do taxes, get a job, go to school, juggle your responsibilities easily. but it was so obvious that you weren’t ready for all of that.

this is when seungyeon comes into the picture, meeting you in chemistry class and telling you that she thinks you’re pretty. fast forward, seungyeon would teach you how to drive and how to take care of yourself in ways jimin couldn’t help.

over time, you lived and you learned, with jimin and seungyeon by your side the whole way through.

you can’t help but feel your heart tug and beg to stay here. there was so much you were leaving, but at the same time, there was so much you were coming back to as well.

“are you coming back?” jimin asks when you pull away from the hug. all you could do was shrug. you had no idea what was next after this, whether your father would let you stay, go back, let you visit; you didn’t know.

“i’m not sure,” you shrugged again. “i compromised my identity— if anything i could visit, but probably not until a couple of months pass or maybe a year.”

“huh?! how are we gonna live without you?” seungyeon cries. jimin agrees. the three of you have grown quite close to each other. the highs and the lows, the three of you were together, no matter what. it hurts, having to leave them like this, so abruptly. but it was your fault for being so reckless.

“i’ll facetime and stuff, we could be pen pals or something!” you pinch their cheeks, trying to make light of the situation. assuring them that you could still talk and keep in contact with them. it makes them feel a lot better. the fear that they would lose you forever no longer hanging over their heads.

a knock on the door startles the three of you. when you peek through the peephole, a familiar face stands just behind the door. blue!

his real name was namjoon, he goes by blue for his own protection. the door swings open and you give him a big hug. you haven’t seen him in so long, the last time being when you said bye to him entering your old apartment. you missed him. strict rules and all. you knew namjoon always meant well. he cared for you deeply, just like you do him. he’s family, and you’re happy to see him.

“blue, come in first!” you pull him in by his hands, making him stumble into your apartment. “these are my friends, jimin and seungyeon.”

he smiles at them, “nice to meet you guys, thanks for being by ___’s side.” a very short conversation follows where jimin and seungyeon talk about how troublesome you’ve been. laughs are shared amongst all of you. then, all three of them are helping you bring your luggages to the cart namjoon brought. “can’t believe you blew your cover,” he shakes his head.

you pout, “you didn’t miss me? wasn’t five years long?”

he rolls his eyes, “of course i missed you— we all did, but this isn’t exactly how we envisioned your return.”

“right,” you sigh, shoving the rest of your essentials in your bag. you turn to your friends and watch as they begin to pack their things too, readying themselves to go home. “do you guys wanna come to the airport with me?”

“princess, we’re taking the private jet on the royal runway, it’s registered guests only.” blue warns you, your face falling fast. “my apologies, princess.”

“it’s okay.” you pat him on his shoulder, turning to your friends. “just kidding— i’m sorry, guys.”

they both shake their heads, silently saying that it was no problem, and pull you into another group hug. “we’ll miss you,” seungyeon speaks. she rubs your back before she pulls away to ask, “are you serious about not coming back?”

“i’ll let you guys know when i know for sure,” you assure them, holding one hand of theirs in each of yours. “thank you guys, for everything, i mean it.”

“stop it— you’re gonna make me cry.” jimin rolls his eyes up towards the ceiling to prevent the tears that welled up in his eyes from falling. it doesn’t do him any justice, they fall like raindrops.

namjoon stands by as the three of you hug it out. once all the tears were let out, the four of you made sure all the lights were off and all the electronics were unplugged before you exited the apartment. namjoon told you that someone would come and clean the place up for you in about a week or so; your father was going to let you keep the place, just in case you’d come back.

you make it to the car parked in front of the apartment building. namjoon takes your luggage and places them in the trunk, giving you some extra time with your friends to say a final goodbye. you give both of them a hug, squeezing them extra tight. “i love you guys.”

“we love you too.” they both say at the same time.

namjoon makes his way from the trunk of the car to the backseat, opening the door for you and waiting for you to step in. “bye, guys!” you wave to them as you take your seat in the car. namjoon joins you soon after, sitting in the back with you. they wave back.

they stay until the driver pulls away and you can’t see them anymore. a bittersweet parting that reminds you of one that you did five years ago; to someone you’re on the way to see right now. you let out a big sigh, slumping in your chair. “how have you been, princess?” namjoon asks.

“i’ve been amazing, blue, and you?” you smiled.

“i’ve been okay myself, your father is planning to raise my position soon.” he informs you. you couldn’t be happier. you tell him how proud and happy you are for him. a silence falls between the two of you again. “so, did you get into any trouble while i wasn’t with you?”

you let out a little laugh, “you wouldn’t believe the things i’ve experienced, blue, you and my parents would go crazy.”

his eyes went wide for a second, “okay— maybe don’t tell me, so i won’t have to do another lengthy report.” the two of you laugh. the familiar energy makes it easier for you to be calm about the situation instead of being super upset. if your father sent another body guard, one you didn’t grow up with, you’d probably be taking this entire thing a little harder.

the rest of the car ride went by fast, mostly because you fell asleep while namjoon was reporting to your father. the royal runway held a private jet and security just for you. the driver parks the car and namjoon makes his way to take your luggage out of the trunk. the other security guards help you out of the car, bowing to you first and then taking your hand to lead you to the stairs of the plane. that was one of the things you didn’t miss about being a royal, all the niceties and etiquette that came along with it. if you were being honest, you probably forgot half of the things you were taught. especially the ones for dinner, you completely forgot how to place your fork and knife when you were done with the meal. you wonder if your family will be accepting of the fact that you didn’t retain the information well.

it wasn’t long before namjoon joined you in the jet and told the pilot that everything was good to go. soon after, the plane took off. in fifteen hours time, you’ll be back in raemor.

it was a long plane ride. nothing much to do other than watch movies, listen to music, or sleep. so you sit up straight in your seat, turning to namjoon and asking, “is there any gossip from raemor that i missed?”

he gives you a little smile before he nods. the two of you used to chit chat and gossip all the time. being together for days at a time, the two of you passed time by informing yourselves of the drama and stories that float around the kingdom.

namjoon tells you things that surprise you and also confirm your suspicions. like how chaeyoung, the daughter of the earl of ishaven is due to marry to chani, the son of the duke of kiwen. they were always cute together. not to mention, she was also your childhood best friend (both her and jungkook.) you’d find any chance you could to get them to hang out with each other, and now here they are: getting married.

“anything about jungkook?” you asked. always nosy when it comes to him. you just wanted to know if he was doing alright. when you had the time, you would look on social media and check if any articles were being written about him. you never found anything spicy, just him being in all of the top ten lists of the most handsome and eligible bachelors.

“i knew you’d ask,” namjoon snickered. “there isn’t much, other than the fact that his parents are looking to get him married soon.”

the news shouldn’t shock you, it would make sense. marriage when you’re young (early twenties at least) is common in the kingdom. it makes it look better for pictures and longevity in the history books. (eg. your parents were wed when they were twenty one, it’s been almost twenty five years since then.)

you hate the thought of it. or perhaps, you hate the thought that the one he‘ll wed won’t be you. so you furrow your eyebrows, asking namjoon, “what? isn’t he too young?” even though you already know the answer.

“he’s the perfect age to get married in the kingdom,” he states matter-of-factly. “and you are too, your parents are probably gonna push it on you too when you get back.”

“i doubt it,” you scoff. “i do not want to get married so soon.”

“it’s not up to us though, right?” namjoon shrugs.

he was right. regrettably so.

you are the textbook definition of privileged. everything and anything bends at your will. you never took advantage of that, but you’re aware of it. the one thing you don’t have control over, is who you get to marry. only your parents have that power. they do take suggestions, ask you who you’d like but in the end; they choose. they want to make sure you’re marrying a good leader, someone that would help make the nation stronger. so that the two of you could have a great rule. this is the one thing that they haven’t been very progressive about.

they’ve changed a lot of things over the years; banning consummations, no longer needing to check if the woman was a virgin before marriage (because it really did not matter, if the men were allowed to sleep around before they settled down, why couldn’t the women?) and etc. it just isn’t as strict as it used to be, but arranged marriages are the only way to keep the power within the kingdom and the families. so the parents seem to keep it dear to their hearts.

namjoon is also subject to this rule. though he is a ‘just a bodyguard’, he is a well received one. that gives you power in itself. if you have the king’s blessing, you could be granted a title. with your father’s plan to move his position up, things may be going that way for namjoon. your father loves him, he would talk to you about him on phone calls when you were away. tells you that even after you left, namjoon was always proactive about the security of the kingdom, suggesting this and that, and consequently, making everyone else in the kingdom feel very safe. your father even regards him as a knight sometimes, a title that’s been retired for fifty years now.

it makes you happy that namjoon is being appreciated this way. but at the same time, you know he doesn’t want an arranged marriage. he wants to love someone on his own, to grow with them, and marry them on his own time.

you hope that he’d be allowed that, having spent his entire life protecting everyone around him; maybe your father would allow it, for him to live a life that he chooses.

thinking about it all tires you out, a yawn escapes your mouth. namjoon takes this as a sign to turn the lights off in the cabin, letting you get some rest on your way home.

namjoon wakes you up a few minutes before you land, offering a meal to fill your stomach before you touched down. soup and rice. apparently, your mother intruders him to give it to you. she said that it’ll help with the plane fatigue. the thought of your mom ushering a tupperware of soup and rice into namjoon’s arms before he left the kingdom makes you laugh. you ate it well, and before you knew it, the plane was landing on raemor’s runway.

it was technically in the backyard of your house, but your backyard was huge. it seemingly went on for miles. you were rich after all. through the window you could see your parents and others waiting for you. among the others was jungkook and his family. you could feel your heart skip a beat.

the plane comes to a stop and namjoon gives you a reassuring look, “ready?”

you nod, “as ready as i’ll ever be.” he holds his hand out for you to take and you follow his lead to the stairs of the plane.

“welcome home, baby!” your mother approaches you first, giving you a tight hug and multiple kisses on your face. “my god— you’ve grown so tall, and you’re still as beautiful as i remember.” she’s missed you a bunch. she’s just happy you’re back.

“i missed you, mama.” you give her a kiss on the cheek. she lets you go to hand you over to your father, who’s waiting with his arms open. “i missed you too, papa.” your head lying against his chest as he hugs you and sways you around.

“we’re happy you’re safe.” he gives you a kiss atop your head before letting you go.

now you stand there, a bit unaware of what to do— stuck, really, when you see jungkook standing in front of you.

he looks a little different now. taller, mature, prettier? if that was even possible.

you’d imagined this meeting for years. ever since you left, you missed him terribly. your dreams were, half of the time, scenarios of him in the city with you. you always wondered if he’d like it in the city; if your favorite coffee shop would fit his taste and if he’d like the way you decorated your apartment. you hope to show him around one day.

“hello, your majesty, it’s nice to finally see you again,” he greets you with a bow. when he rises, those beautiful brown eyes shine towards you. it makes you pause, blatantly staring at him. his hands come around from behind him, holding an extravagant bouquet.

“hi, jungkook.” you smile, a curtsy is given for good measure. you take the flowers from him, another small pause decides to interrupt the flow of things; both of you are unsure and awkward. so you step forward and give him a hug. his hugs are still the same, you still feel so safe, so secure in his arms. “thank you for the flowers.” you tell him when you pull away from the hug, he gives you another little bow and you snicker. “no need to be so proper, it’s just me.” you poke him in the side like you used to, he flinches away and lets out a little laugh. the same laugh that you remember.

small conversations erupt around you. small talk between you and jungkook also ensues before your mother takes your hand and leads you back to the castle. the group follows behind you. when you walk back into the garden through the back archway, a major rush of nostalgia floods through you. your childhood flashing through your eyes as you look around; the pond, the trees, the tables, the flowers. all of it. your breath is caught in your throat.

your mother continues to pull you through the garden, finally making it to the back doors of the palace. she maneuvers through the halls and to your room.

your lady, chungha, takes the flowers away from you to put them in a vase. she tells you that she’ll put them in your room after you’re done changing. you tell her you’ve missed her and that the two of you should catch up soon. she smiles, agreeing. it was a quick conversation because your mother was pulling you along in the halls. you’d forgotten how confusing the castle was.

they’d also given you a new room, the one you asked for all those years ago. this room is about two times bigger than your old one. with pretty, big windows all around, a wrap-around balcony that gives you a beautiful view of the flower beds and jungkook’s palace. “get changed into the dress i set out for you, then come out whenever you want.” your mother instructs and you nod.

she leaves your room to let you get ready. you plop down on the huge bed. the sheets freshly washed, the scent of fresh linen flooding your senses. you exhale, turning on your back and looking to the ceiling. paintings displayed up there, stories that only the artist could tell, to keep your brain busy.

the sound of your phone ringing snaps you out of your stare. jimin’s contact name flashes over the screen, you press the green button hastily. “jimin!”

“what’s up, princess?” he laughs over the line. his voice is a little crunchy over the phone. you suspect it’s just because the signal in your room is terrible. you keep that in the back of your mind, telling yourself to ask your father about it.

“oh, be quiet.” you roll your eyes even though he can’t see you. you rise from your bed to sit at your desk, just in front of your bed.

“how is it there? are you settling in fine?” he asks. you look back at your room, one of your luggages sitting in the corner, waiting to be unpacked, and your closet door slightly ajar.

“it’s okay,” you answer, “everything’s just a little different than i remember— oh! and do you remember that one guy i told you about?”

jimin laughs, you always get side-tracked so easily. “yeah— jungkook, right? your knight in shining armor that you’ve had a crush on ever since you could remember?”

“i did not say that— also jungkook’s not a knight—” you tsk before you hear a knock on your door. “who is it?” you shout, waiting for the person behind the door to answer.

the door slides open a bit to reveal jungkook. he peeps his head in and asks, “are you busy? may i come in?”

you flush. you could feel your ears starting to burn. still, you shake your head, “i’m just talking to a friend, you can come in.”

“who is that?” jimin asks. suddenly, the speaker is all too loud. jungkook steps forward and closes the door behind him, moving to sit on the bench just in front of your bed. “who is it? is it jungkook?”

“oh?” jungkook perks up when he hears his name, “your friend knows me?”

“um— yeah, you’re quite famous.” you make up an excuse fast. “do you wanna talk to him? his name is jimin.”

you stand up and pass the phone over to jungkook who speaks into the microphone. “hello, jimin, i’m jungkook, it’s nice to… meet you?”

“ah— jungkook! wow! it’s nice to meet you too—” he starts, he sounds a little shocked. maybe he didn’t expect to speak to him so soon. “—i’ve heard a lot about you.”

jungkook’s gaze moves to yours, catching the look on your face. like a deer in headlights. “oh? ___ has spoken to you about me?”

“yes! dude, all the time—”

“alright! that’s enough!” you laugh, taking the phone from jungkook’s hands and taking jimin off speaker phone. “me and you are gonna have a very long talk later, yeah? i’ll call you before i go to sleep.”

“yeah, yeah,” you could already see him rolling his eyes playfully. “let me talk to him more later, maybe i can help you score—”

“okay! talk to you later!” you cut him off and hang up abruptly. throwing your phone somewhere on your bed behind jungkook.

he laughs. “my apologies for coming unannounced,” he bows his head.

his hair has gotten longer. there’s a sudden urge to touch the silky strands. but you’re still not sure where the two of you stand now. there’s five years of uncertainty between the two of you. so you just give him a smile when he brings his head back up, “it’s no problem, jungkook, i don’t mind.” you plop down onto your bed, lying on your side, facing him.

“i can’t believe you’re here,” he gushes. “at the runway, it didn’t really hit me that you were really back, but seeing you walk through the palace and— and now!” he laughs, “i— i really missed you.”

your heart constricts. your teeth rot. everything. it’s just all so sweet. “i missed you too, jungkook.” you give him a small smile. “oh! i almost forgot,” you’re sitting up now, criss cross applesauce, recalling jungkook’s missing birthday present. “i got you a present for your eighteenth birthday, but venus said it never got to you?”

“you did?” his eyes widened, “yeah— no, i never got it.”

jungkook is relieved. he didn’t hear a word from you on his eighteenth birthday. he thought you’d forgotten, that you just didn’t have time for him anymore. it was strange, you’d greeted him all the years before and all the years after as well, the only birthday you missed was seemingly the most important one. knowing that you got a gift for him all those years ago… it makes his heart pound in his ears.

“yeah, she told me.” you pouted, “so i just got you a new gift instead, come with me.” you urge him, and he doesn’t hesitate to get up from his seat and trail behind you.

you try to navigate the halls as you used to, using all your power to avoid your mother because you know she’ll scold you about how you’re not wearing the proper attire around guests. she’d already reminded you once to change into a dress when you got to your room.

you’re almost to the front of the house when you spot your father, meaning your mother must be close somewhere. you try to hide behind jungkook until you feel a tap on your shoulder.

you turn to see your mother, a ‘gotcha’ look on her face. “you know what i’m going to say, get changed now, sweetheart.”

slouching your shoulders, you groan. “fine— wait a sec, jungkook, i’ll be right back.”

not too long after, you appear at the end of the hall. walking as fast as you can in constrictions of this dress. it wasn’t anything too much, a long, flowy, cream colored dress, straps that tie at the top of your shoulder with cute little polka dots on it. in the kingdom, this is what you would call ‘a lazy look.’

“ah— see! you’re stunning, darling,” your mother smiles. “isn’t she so beautiful, jungkook?”

he’s almost stunned. he’d thought the attraction would go down since the two of you had been away from each other for so long, but it seems to have made it even stronger. he can’t seem to take his eyes off of you. “yes, your highness,” he answers to your mom, “very.”

you step in front of them just after jungkook finishes talking to your mom, sending them suspicious looks. “what were you two talking about?”

“nothing, darling,” she teases. “are you both off somewhere?”

“oh— i’m just giving jungkook his gifts, we’re not going anywhere.” you explain but you see jungkook shift beside you.

“uh, actually—” jungkook speaks up, “your majesty, is it alright if i bring princess ___ to my palace? i would like to introduce her to my friends.”

your mother smiles, “of course, jungkook, just be back in time for dinner, alright? it’ll be in an hour or so.” he nods and bows his head.

apparently there was a dinner set in motion when the court found out you were coming home. no wonder everyone was rushing around when you first stepped in. your mother tells you that it’s a ‘welcome home’ banquet, and that you don’t need to worry about talking to anyone. she must have picked up on your change in energy when she mentioned the party. she leaves down the hall soon after, and both you and jungkook walk towards the car that was still unpacking your things.

you ask for the big, wrapped box that’s snug against the wall of the car, and the guard passes it to you. jungkook wastes no time and takes the box from you, placing it in the back of a carriage that he had waiting for you. “a horse-drawn carriage? really?” you laughed.

“what’s wrong with it?” he smiles. getting up first, straightening the seats out and making sure they were clean before he held his hand out for you to join him. “it’s a special ride for a special girl who’s finally back home.”

there were too many butterflies in your stomach. prince charming, he very much was. you roll your eyes playfully before stepping in and sitting down.

the ride is fulfilling. travelling through familiar towns and places that you know by heart. raemor is beautiful, it’s known as the kingdom of flowers. having the healthiest soil that almost any plant (especially flowers) can thrive in. sometimes you can’t believe you were granted the chance to live this life, that you have the privilege to enjoy the luxuries you have. you turn your head, glancing jungkook’s way. he too, is gazing at the familiar landscapes. a feeling of nostalgia washes over you.

before you knew it, the carriage was slowing down and entering the driveway of jungkook’s palace. if you say that you don’t gawk at it every time you visit, it’d be a lie. jungkook’s family had one of the prettiest palaces in all of raemor. tall, strong foundation that was littered with pretty flowers and gold fixtures. the inside was just as beautiful as well. paintings on the ceiling, arched doorways, endless halls of art and history. it had it all. maybe you were just biased; you did help them decorate a few parts of the palace.

jungkook told you during the carriage ride that his friends were somewhere in the palace. the two of you walk through the castle, maneuvering through halls and doorways to find them. when you hear the sound of voices overlapping, you feel your breath get caught in your throat. your stomach suddenly sinks.

somehow, you just realized that you hadn’t really met anyone outside of your family and close circle yet. you were terrified of what everyone else would think of you. there were many people that were incredibly negative about your trip away from raemor. there was a certain expectation for you when it came to the kingdom. you were the daughter of the king. you had to be perfect. there was no way for you to escape that. almost like you were bracing yourself, you gently grasp jungkook’s arm, trying to calm yourself down.

he turns at your touch, sensing your hesitance. “everything alright, princess?”

you try to give him a smile, but it comes off as a tight lipped nod. “i think it’s just plane fatigue or something— jet lag or whatever.” you laugh it off.

he places his hand over yours. “we don’t have to meet them right now— they’ll be at the dinner tonight.” he assures, “we can just sneak into my room, if you want?”

“sure,” you nod, “yeah— please.”

with your hand in his, jungkook leads you to his room. his new room, he also moved to a bigger room for his eighteenth birthday. it was huge. you see that they’ve allowed him to decorate it himself; adorned with modern fixtures along with some classic touches that seem so him. “how cool…” you think out loud.

“thanks,” he replies. a proud smile on his face. “make yourself at home, princess.” you move to sit at the chair of his desk. sitting straight and with almost perfect posture after placing the gift on his bed. he turns to you and lets out a little giggle when he sees the way you’re sitting. “you can sit here with me,” he suggests, before immediately backpedalling and adding, “if you want to, of course.”

how could you decline such an offer? so you stand and make your way to his bed. you look to him for reassurance before climbing on and he nods, another sign that it’s totally fine. you take your shoes off and pull yourself onto his bed, sitting on your knees as you urge him to open the present. “i think you’ll like it, it’ll go well with your big tv.” you point to the flatscreen that’s just in front of his bed.

“really?” he raises his eyebrows. carefully untying the bow and tearing at the wrapping paper, which he commented on, telling you it was a pretty choice. he opens the box to see another box in it, a stack of clothes, and an envelope.

he moves to pick up the letter first. you stop him quickly, placing your hand on top of his. “read this later, please, when i’m not in front of you.”

he smiles, “very well, princess.” picking up the stack of clothes inside, it was just a bunch of comfy clothes. jungkook always talks about how royal garb is uncomfortable and how he wishes that he had more comfy home clothes. so you kept that in mind when looking for his new gift. an array of sweats, sweaters, and jackets for him to wear on the daily to keep him comfortable. “you’ve been away for five years and you still know me better than anyone else.”

you roll your eyes despite the butterflies in your stomach acting up again. “only because i remember how you always complained about how your clothes were itchy.”

he gives you another smile, a sweet one that might keep you up tonight. you wonder if he would smile like that in between kisses. the thought makes you blush. “open this one now,” you urge, brushing the thoughts of kissing him aside and pointing to the other box.

inside the bigger box, was another box that was wrapped in more paper, which he took off to reveal a ps5. “no way! i was thinking about getting this the other day!” jungkook gushes.

“really? i saw it and thought of you.” you smiled.

“you’re the best, ___.” he sets the box down on his bed to give you a hug. a long one at that.

instinctively, you move a little closer, closing the gap between you both drastically. your chest pressed up against his and he pulls you even closer. “i missed you so much,” he admits. a whisper that catches you off guard.

“me— me too, jungkook.” you reciprocate the comment. there was tension. you felt it immensely. you’re not sure if jungkook could feel it too, but with how hard your heart is beating, you’re sure he can at least feel that.

he pulls away but still lingers close, his face far enough, but still too close for comfort. “i have a gift for you too, but compared to your gift, it’s almost silly.”

“oh, don’t be stupid,” you shake your head and laugh, trying to ease the tension of almost kissing your best friend. “i’ll love any gift from you.”

he scrunches his nose, “we’ll see about that.” he laughs before getting up from his spot and moving to his closet. he rustles around for a minute or so before coming back with a prettily wrapped box. you open it to reveal another box, and a letter.

opening the other box, you see that it’s a necklace, a beautiful necklace at that. jungkook told you to read the letter later, like how you did to him earlier. “i was supposed to get you eighteen different gifts, but when i found out i wasn’t going to be able to ship them to you, i decided to just get you one gift that was more meaningful and wait to give it to you myself.”

“it’s beautiful, jungkook, i adore it.” you hold it in your hands and admire the bright jewels and the dainty chains. it was gorgeous, your style entirely. there were small diamonds embedded in the chain, dangling chain pieces with gems that were a little bigger attached to the bottom. it was perfect.

“you do?” he smiles, looking at you through the mirror. “it’s custom made, from jewels from both your family’s vault and mine.”

you gasp, “they let you do that?”

he nods, “anything for you.”

there’s a brief silence between you both. he lets you admire it in the quiet, waiting for you to say something before he gushes about how excited he was to get this for you because he knows you’d look so beautiful in it.

“can you help me put it on?” you ask, holding the necklace up to him. a smile on your face that is unsuspecting of any of the thoughts running through jungkook’s mind right now. you’re just so pretty, and he can’t believe you’re here right now. after dreaming of meeting you again, there are too many thoughts running through his mind.

his eyes flicker down to your exposed collarbones, he just realized how you’ve matured, how your body has matured. suddenly, his face feels too hot. he shakes the thoughts out of his head. gulping, he swallows the temptation. “sure,” nodding as he takes the piece from your hands. “let’s go in front of the mirror,” he suggests, leading you to his huge body length mirror near his desk.

you stand in front of him, holding your hair up as he places the necklace over your throat. you could feel yourself holding your breath, scared that he’ll realize how the thought of him putting a necklace on you is turning you on. it sounds so simple, helping someone put a necklace on. but there’s intimacy tied in the small touches and the brief glances to one another.

the clasp is secured and you let your hair down. jungkook fixes it, bringing all of your hair behind your shoulders and behind your ears. the necklace beautifully laid against your neck and chest. “it’s gorgeous, jungkook,” you smile.

“really? you’re not just saying that, right?” he asks, looking at you and making eye contact through the mirror. you nod, your eyes flickering between his gaze and the piece of jewelry on your neck.

“of course not,” you roll your eyes playfully. “you’ve got great taste.” you compliment, staring at the necklace once more.

jungkook bites his lip before he steps a little closer. thinking over what he’s about to do. fuck it, he tells himself. bringing an arm around you as if he were going to hug you, instead, he points to your necklace. “well— these tiny diamonds here,” he gently taps the jewels embedded in the chain and comes close to your ear. his front making contact with your back. a shiver runs down your spine as he explains, “they’re from my great grandmother’s wedding bracelet.”

you try to withhold any noises your mouth would produce by biting your lip, keeping the whines and shaky breaths in. “and these,” his hand moves down to the dangling gems, dangerously close to the tops of your breasts. “are gems from your grandmother’s wedding tiara.”

he takes one of the gems in between his fingers, lifting it slightly to show you in the mirror. “it— they're beautiful, jungkook.” you stare straight to the mirror, your eyes follow his hands carefully. he lets go of the gem and lets his hands fall to his sides. the breath you were holding is released in relief of the tension. “thank you, i love it.” you smile, turning your head to face him only to see that he hasn’t backed up. you almost make contact with his cheek before you let out a quiet gasp.

the two of you stay like that for a while. staring at each other. you could cut the tension with a knife. it looked like jungkook was about to lean in for a kiss before a knock on the door startled the both of you, making you both jolt away from each other.

“jungkook? we are leaving for the princess’ dinner now, don’t be late!” the sound of his mother’s voice sounds through the door.

“well,” you laugh. like you and your best friend of your entire life didn’t just have a moment for the second time today.

“we better get going,” he smiles.

“welcome home, princess ___!” the announcer speaks, holding your hand as you curtsy at the front of the dining room. the entire party cheers and he begins leading you to your spot at the table with your family. jungkook stands and helps you sit down, pulling the chair out for you. when you sit down, you fix your dress, smoothing out the outrageous amount of tulle that encases your bottom half. your mother rushed you into your room once you and jungkook returned to the castle. she laid out this beautiful, big, blue tulle dress for you to wear for your welcome back dinner. it seemed like a lot, but sometimes you forget you’re the crown princess of an entire kingdom. if you think about it, your mother really held back.

the party was beautiful as well. the ballroom was decorated intricately with strings of flowers hung along the walls, the tables were adorned with extravagant centerpieces, you were surprised you didn’t see this set up earlier. perhaps you were too busy creating incredibly intense sexual tension with your best friend.

round tables are set up all around the dining room floor, while one long square table is placed at the front of the room; where you, jungkook, your mother, father, and other members of the royal court were sitting.

the dinner happened to be a five-course meal, and like you worried before, you’d completely forgotten the etiquette of meals like this. you grabbed the wrong spoon when you were eating your soup, jungkook gave you the right one. then once you were finished with the main dish, your utensils weren’t in the right position to tell the waiter you were finished. so jungkook adjusted the knife and fork for you. soon after, someone came to pick up your plate.

“i can’t believe i forgot how to eat.” you laugh, hiding your face behind your hands.

“it’s old-fashioned anyway,” jungkook comforts you with a smile. “you’ll get the hang of it soon.”

the tables talk amongst themselves, beginning to wrap up the meal while getting ready for the dancing and drinking bit. you sit back in your seat, awaiting your next instructions when you feel your phone ring in your bag. you check to see that jimin texted you, it was an article about your coming back party. already? goodness. the press is quick.

“___, phones away at the table.” your father reminds you when he spots you with the device in your hand. you give him a quick apology as you place the phone face down on your lap, the sea of tulle swallowing the gadget. again, you sit back in your chair and try to focus your attention elsewhere. trying your best to ignore the buzzing in your dress, begging you to check your notifications.

“are you bored?” jungkook questions, watching as your attention turns to the people on the dance floor. you give him a small smile, shaking your head. “are you sure? do you want to dance—“

“your highness!” a man comes from behind jungkook and wraps an arm around his neck playfully. you flinch at first before more men come up. all of them messing with jungkook somehow, the taller man with the dark hair plays with his hair, another pinching his cheeks.

“god— you guys cause chaos everywhere you walk.” jungkook pushes the man’s arm off of him, a smile on his face as he shakes his head. jungkook stands up, fixing his hair and bowing to you. “apologies, your majesty,” he says to you, “these are my friends.”

“oh— oh shit, it’s the princess.” they all fix their posture, standing straight once the curly haired boy makes the realization. you also stand from your seat, greeting them with a curtsy.

“have you not been paying attention the entire dinner?” jungkook ruffles his hair. he introduces them to you one by one. the curly haired one, you learn, is taehyung; the son of the duke of naterra. another is yugyeom, chaeyoung’s brother, making him the son of the earl of ishaven. then the last one is eunwoo, son of the viscount of gotia.

all of you talk for a little bit and you’re able to get a sense of how their friendship group is. they’re funny, never not joking and having fun. you’ve known of them since you were kids but you’d never really took the time to get to know them very well, and jungkook told you that they all had gotten closer after you left.

it seems you’ve missed a lot. there’s a bittersweet feeling attached to knowing that. understanding that you love the memories you made in the city, and that you wouldn’t trade them for the world. but then realizing that the world didn’t stop when you left. everyone’s a little older, people have new friends, some are married now, a lot has changed. but you hope you won’t focus on what you missed and what you could have done, rather on what you can do now that you’re here, and what relationships you can help grow.

“it’s nice to finally meet you all, i am glad jungkook has such fun friends.” you smile. jungkook stands beside you, looking at you with so much awe. his friends take notice, giving each other a look; a funny one.

“we’re happy that you’re home safe.” eunwoo speaks first, a bright smile on his face. “it’s nice to see you again, princess.”

“you were missed, princess! especially by jungkook, he talked about you all the time—” yugyeom starts before jungkook lets out a loud cough, so obviously cutting his friend’s statement short. you giggle in response. he’s so cute.

“you are more beautiful than i remember,” taehyung compliments. you give him a smile, thanking him. “do you want to dance?” he asks, holding his hand out for you to take.

“oh—!” you look at jungkook first before taking his hand, “didn’t you want to dance?” you ask him, remembering his request earlier before his friends came up.

jungkook’s eyes flicker between you and taehyung, mouth slightly ajar as he thinks of a reply. “n-no! it’s alright—”

“you don’t want to dance with me?” you look up to him and furrow your eyebrows, a playful tone in your voice to assure him that you were just kidding.

“wait, i do—! it’s— you can— uh— you can dance with taehyung first— if you want, of course.” jungkook stumbles over his words terribly. his face turning a bright pink when he realizes that he completely embarrassed himself in front of you. his friends let out a little snicker while you give him a comforting smile.

“you better be ready to dance when i come back!” you wiggle your finger to him as you take taehyung’s hand.

he watches from afar as the two of you waltz every corner of the ballroom, a few spins and dips every now and then. the tinge of pink on his face starts to wear off after a few minutes.

hearing the sound of your laughter and seeing you have fun was surreal to him. a part of him still can’t believe that you’re back. despite hugging you, talking to you, being with you for almost this whole day. you just are… unreal.

“dude, you are so whipped.” yugyeom throws his arm over jungkook’s shoulders, breaking him out of his trance. the remark makes him laugh a bit. there was no need to deny it— he was right. “do you think she’ll take you as a husband?”

he shrugs. the familiar feeling of guilt sinking into his stomach once again. he watches as you glide around the dance floor in taehyung’s arms, a bright smile on your face, the sound of your laughter filling the room along with the music playing; it’s all he can hear— all he wants to hear in this noisy room. you’re so happy.

he wonders how it’ll all change once you find out.

jungkook understands the inevitable. the drama that will arise once the truth is out. he can only hope that you won’t hate him when the time comes, and that you’ll be happy when you hear it.

so for now, he wishes and wishes. “i’ll be whatever she wants me to be.”

My Top 15 Boygroup/Solo Songs (2021)

Remember guys, this is just my personal list. Let me know what yours are! Love sharing music with eachother etc so let’s all just have fun.

TOP 15

1. Beautiful Beautiful - ONF (ONF:MY NAME) April 28th

This is truly no surprise. Anyone who has followed me for a little while knows the way I feel about ONF and their music. As far as ONF goes, this is their best title track yet. It’s fun, upbeat and encouraging. It’s such a hopeful song and something very needed in 2021. The acapella and harmonies throughout the song make it unique and have added to the reasons this is my favorite songs/albums of 2021. The repackage as well is absolutely genius with songs that connect with eachother like The Realist and The Dreamer. Not to mention the fun pre-release My Name. I can’t imagine the next 1,5 years without new ONF music but I truly will be sad.

2. Nerves - DPR Ian (Moodswings in This Order) March 12

Not really Kpop but it’s here. DPR Ian made his long awaited solo debut and holy shit. This album is the most raw, emotional thing I have ever listened too. Every song on the album is so well done, but Nerves is probably my favorite. The raw emotion and the sound of Ian’s voice cracking at his words. It hits my soul. He’s also just so incredibly open with his mental issues and he really let his feelings out in this album. Not to mention the visuals with the album are stunning. Honourable mentions: Welcome to the show Dope Lovers Scaredy Cat He said he’s working on another one and I can’t wait, like really can’t wait.

3. Moonshot - N.Flying (Man on the Moon) June 7th

I also don’t think this is a surprise. N.Flying finally got their first full album and I just think it took entirely too long for them to have one. But it totally didn’t disappoint. I have an emotional attachement to N.Flying and for them to release such an empowering song when I really needed it, meant alot. N.Flying always hit and their other song from this year Sober almost made this list, but I decided to put in Moonshot because it resonates a little more. Other songs on this album I recommend are: Comma, Flashback Blue Scene I even ordered both versions of this album to support them. I also recommend watching their process of recording this album, it gave a lot of perspective.

4. 0x1=Lovesong - TXT (ft. Seori) (The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape) August 17th

Now, I only really got into TXT this year. It majorly has to do with their change in sound. I love the rock elements and the feeling this song gave me. It gave me goosebumps the first time I listened to it. Sadly, the rest of the album wasn’t for me but Lovesong made up for all of that. I listen to this song soooo often, I even enjoy the remix with pH-1 and Woodie Gochild it’s just sooooo good. I hope they keep up this sound, like they did LO$ER=LO♥ER. This music video is also my favorite of theirs, the colors, the found family feeling. Truly amazing.

5. Paranoia - Kang Daniel (Yellow) February 16th

Daniel is also an artist I got more into this year, mainly because of Paranoia. Paranoia was a great choice for pre-release and this song gave me goosebumps. The visuals with it, the hard work Daniel put into it, he deserves the recognition. The theme is so dark but so honest to how he feels and it just hits so hard. Not to mention the song is just so good and he looked absolutely stunning. I’m not above superficial reasons lmao. Antidote and Save U (ft. Wonstein) are other amazing songs on this album.

6. Popping! - ONF (Summer Popup Album) August 9th

Shouldn’t be surprised this is here either. ONF really outdid themselves this year. They worked so incredibly hard and this album shows it. They went through alot of trials this album as well but they worked through it and dropped my favorite summer song possibly ever. Summer Shape Dry Ice Summer Poem are amazing songs on this album, totally worth checking out. Please do, they worked so hard. I guarantee at least one song will make you smile.

7. Hula Hoops (ft. Hwasa, Beenzino) - DPR Live (Iite Cool) July 23rd

DPR Live, sir where do I start. DPR dropped this album with the notion that they just wanted to have fun and have fun they did. This album is fun and lighthearted, just what everyone needed in this last year. The whole album is a fun party and the DPR crew worked so hard for this. Listen to this album for a fun time, I recommend: Yellow Cab Summer Tights Boom (ft. DPR Ian) All fun songs with totally different vibes. Music videos are perfect too.

8. Cinema - CIX (`HELLO' Chapter Ø. Hello, Strange Dream) February 2nd

I’ve mentioned this song alot on my blog, Cinema feels like a warm hug. The best way I can describe this song is, going on your first date to the movies and being too shy to even look at eachother and going in for your very first kiss. Just such a wholesome song. I listen to it for comfort and watch CIX’s content for comfort as well. Stairway to heaven and Young are great songs on this album, I highly recommend. I also have gotten into CIX wayy more this year and to say I adore them is an understatement.

9. Do or Not - Pentagon (Love or Take) March 15

Pentagon and their amazing songs. Look songs like this tickle that special part in my brain. Do or Not is the perfect song, it’s fun and colorful while not being overbaring. All members got their moment to shine and it’s just so good!!! 1+1 Sing-a-song and Baby I love you are great songs on the album. The album is also just so cute, the whole design of it even. Can’t wait for them to come back.

10. Advice - Taemin (Advice) May 18

It’s not a list without something SHINee related and low and behold here it is. The piano in Advice is really what does it for me, not to mention Taemin’s styling to be totally honest. I loved everything about this video. It’s the clean white background while he’s covered in paint and then the other way around. Sad Kids and If I could tell you (ft. Taeyeon) are beautiful songs that show Taemin’s artistry.

11. Inside Out - Nu’est (Romanticize) April 19th

Nu’est have become one of my favorite groups of all time. I love that their songs are so lowkey and they aren’t in your face. They’re calm and relaxed and just very good like background music. I love Inside Out a lot as the concept really sat with me, not to mention the vocals and visuals that came into play. Not to mention every member got a solo this album: here is Aron’s because I’m so biased: I’m Not . Another good song on the album is Black. Shoutout to Aron for climbing into my ult list as well.

12. Outsider - BtoB (4U: Outside) August 30th

BtoB had a comeback and I am the happiest person ever. Anyone who has followed me for a few years will know my connection to BtoB and I missed them. Outsider follows that jazzy vibe they’ve always had and emphasized it. Changsub and Eunkwang’s vocals are truly magical and the music video is so insanely fun. My baby Peniel absolutely dominated his rap, especially with the adlibs. Can’t Breathe and Traveler are my favorite b-sides.

13. Teardrop - SF9 (Turn Over) July 5

Runway song of the year, ass shaking music but make it high fashion. Not to mention the choreo. Icons and icons only, this being their comeback after Kingdom too. SF9 forever not getting the attention they deserve. Ughh I love them so much. Love Again, Believer and Off My Mind are amazing b-sides I highly recommend. I also recommend watching every Hwiyoung fancam of Teardrop that you can. You know for clean skin. Here is a playlist where you can do that

14. All In - DKB (the dice is cast) March 30th

DKB, my sons. They dropped this absolute banger. It gives me old kpop, like 2013 - 2015. DKB are so well developed already, sound wise and choreography. They are so impeccable. I really loved watching them grow from their last comebacks. I hope that with Brave Girls’ recent success that people will check out their little brothers. Anyways, I recommend Flower Less and Real Love off of the album. Please show DKB a lot of love!

15. Atlantis - SHINee (Atlantis) April 12th

Okay it was a toss up between ‘Don’t call me’ and this, but I picked this because it gave me more the authentic SHINee sound. I loved the music video and all the fun little details in it. Also this isn’t a list without SHINee, it’s not valid if they aren’t on it. Body Rhythm, CØDE and Kiss Kiss are my favorite songs on the album but Body Rhythm takes the cake, never have I heard a more wavy song.

Favorite debuts

Kingdom ‘Excalibur’ February 17th

Kingdom really got me this year. Their music is absolutely impeccable, the boys are amazing, they’re concept is insane and I love it. I found them to be entirely unique even in dynamic and they have made one of my favorite songs of all time Night Air (Acoustic Version) I can’t wait to see where their concept takes them, because it’s just so interesting.

Mirae ‘Killa’ March 17th

Mirae are another one of my favorite discoveries. DSP Media sucks, but their groups don’t. This song reminded me of NCT 127′s Superhuman and I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. The futuristic vibe to the video and everything also really tickled my pickle. Not to mention I also just adore their content on their channel, it’s just so fun and comforting.

D.O ‘Rose’ July 26th

Now, the long awaited solo debut of D.O. This was right up my alley, the acoustic guitars and the comforting lyrics just hit me in the feels. I’m so sad he didn’t promote. This album was also just impeccable and managed to make me absolutely sob my heart out to one specific song: Dad. I hope D.O has more solos in the future because I just adore his voice so much.

girl you’re so right with the nsfw headcannons u posted earlier i loved them

plEASE!!! i love you, thank you!!!! i literally thought i was going to have to delete them five minutes after posting them in shame and gaslight all of you into thinking that they were a figment of ur imaginations, but you all seemed to really like them which!!! aaaa!!! i am still writing the more for fun, random nsfw meme w/ way less Lore attached to it

BUT because i am impatient/don't know when i'm gonna finally finish, you guys were all angels and i am allergic to not sharing things: you can have my favorite random little nsfwish hc under the cut which i honestly just thought was cute tbh. :)

live laugh love ravesey world domination...Literally if ur kyle, lmao. <3

-pastes sh*t straight from my post bc i'm lazy lmao-

-so raven is my fruity edgy boy jewelry king and jersey does make fun of him 25/8 for being a walking hot topic accessory display case btw, ( which like, kyles,...baby...please do not pretend like u didn't just spend half the current word count on my fanfiction wanting to hook urself on a certain sexc rockstar boys tacky hot topic display case skeleton hand lip ring like a goddamn fish smh ) esp. The Choker,

which...okay, sidebar, but before they were happily #hating and jersey kyle actively thought he 'hated' ravenstan, one time our punk rock prince was giving poor kyle what i like to call the Risque Raven Runaround, which is super effective, and in fight or flight response to getting flirted with/majorly sexually frustrated by said rockstar boy...

kyle stepped up to him, ran his nail across stans neck with aching slowness and basically threatened to 'replace that tacky too tight velvet vampire dog collar with my hand' if u keep talking shit, which was all bark no bite obviously, an empty threat/a joke, but uhhhh? the Crazy SOUND tht ravenstan made...kyle was like eXCUSE ME??? plZ

my whole fic is jersey insulting raven and him being like damn thats crazy u hate me...i also hate me...do u want to Make Out about it???

anyways! so i really don't think they fight, like, ever, they are so in luv, but very early into them #hating, kyle, who i will say that despite being the hottest most scrumdidilyumpious bad as hell man on planet earth, did display real human emotion ( surprisingly ) and got hella insecure and jealous about stans fans not respecting their relationship and a bunch of dumb tabloids saying theyre prolly Not Really Dating bc why would a celebrity settle for 'some guy'? which...

i want u to know that kyle calling himself Some Guy unlocked something extremely visceral in ravenstan because he showed up to his next show...w/ a tiny silver K charm on the iconic raven choker ;)

wHICH WAS HIS LITTLE EMO GOTH BOY VERSION OF WHEN GIRLS PUT THEIR BOYFRIENDS INITIAL ON A NECKLACE EXCEPT KIND OF HOTTER TBH HE ATE THAT LIKE HELLO?? STAN?? wHEW

kyle...ironically...was Gagged, he was sweatin oh my GOD, he was like Come Home RN sakhdlksahd and i would just like u All to know that

...the sexy velvet eboy k charm choker Does stay on during sex. <3

( which, ok tbh, guilty as sexually charged, ravesey are an i'm yours, you're mine possessive couple, but not in a scary toxic way, just in a mutually obsessed with each other, Everyone Fuck Off kinda way

so...Cute :') sahdlksahdlsad am...i delusional? )

buuuut, okay bonus because i love to laugh [ this is unhinged ]:

- i also want to say that jerseykyle knows not to be intimidated by ravens little dawn spawn minions trying to flame him on social media & shit but that does not stop him from saying out of pocket shit like

yeah!!! well just remember that while you're screaming his name at ur stupid concert, in a couple hours he'll be at home screaming Mine xx

wHIHDSIHDIHDDSLNKD AAAAA KYLEEEE!!!!!! jail jail jail stan was like kYLE!!!! OH MY GOD in the comments and kyle said See ;)

HEEEEELPSHDKLHDL

listen y'all...jersey kyle may be the villian, but he is MY hero, babey. <3

-toxic yaoi ceo uncle nina
