Nct 127 as fratboys Pt.1
I enjoyed this wayyyyyy too much lmaoo
Taeil
Tumblr media
first off
baby he don't wanna be here lmaoooo
He don't even know how he got in a frat in the first place
he majors in one of three things
comp sci
finance
or accounting (Yes finance and accounting are different)
Taeil wouldn't be your typical frat boy
he's definitely turning his assignments in on time
and he is never
and I mean NEVER up for a party
but allows it to happen anyway
however, if its finals season...
He is the one who shuts the party down when the clock touches 12
"Everyone get the fuck out! You have exams in a few hours"
The father of the frat honestly
He's pretty laid back and doesn't bother anyone
Some would think that he doesn't get laid either but c'mon now
he fucks around ALOT!
Don't let him fool you
Has had a threesome multiple times
but don't tell anyone I told you that
He hates the parties but always gets 4-5 BJs at each
and guess what y'all
if you fuck him
NO ONE WILL KNOW!
he won't brag about it and he won't tell a soulllll
If his friends are eyeing someone he's been with b4
and they ask him about her
trust and believe this man won't say a word
he'll shrug and be like "Ion know"
ughhh and he pulls easily too
Usually he beats around the bush
but always makes it clear he doesn't want anything serious
all in all he's a sneaky and quiet fratboy
lol
Johnny
Tumblr media
Yeah...
everybody knows about this bitch right here
He is a business major.
Period
do not question the facts
doesn't give too much fucks about his grades though
as long as he gets a degree after this shit
he's good.
He would be known as the irresistible heartbreaker
cuz he WILL pull you in
and then drop you after he fucks.
I'm just being honest here y'all lmaoo
He is THE life of the party
like if a party is happening and he ain't there...
it's gonna be lame asf
He and Jaehyun are notorious for making their coma-inducing
jungle juice
Surprisingly he has a good fashion sense for a frat boy
oh and he definitely comes from a rich family
so yk he's driving his car around blasting
Drake and Tyga
Smokes hella w33d btw
like I'm not even joking
his circle clean as hell though
vibes are always through the roof
He fucks every other day
and everybody knows he does
why?
because he posts about it on social media
yup.
i said it.
He would definitely tag your ass too
so if yk you don't like the inanet knowing
that your- in his words- "pum pum wetter than the ocean"
then leave this man alone
lmaoooo
overall a menace and a jerk- typical fratboy (I'm sorry I wanted him to be sweet too lol)
Taeyong
Tumblr media
He's a nerd.
I'm sorry but Taeyong does not belong in a frat 😭 jk k
but
He 100% has his legos displayed in his room
like don't even say it's not true
His idea of a fun time is spending hours building a lego set
He's definitely a communications major
maintains a relatively good gpa
so he's ight.
And a ladies man
Oh yupp
Everyone who has his twitter sees his posts about pussy eating.
And lemme tell you something
Bitches have lined up in front of the frat to get eaten out by this man
ya hear me???
And he brags about it on the dl
would be notorious for attending 2-3 parties for the semester tho
why?
his legos.
he NEVER has a shirt on
I swearrrrrr
he also smokes w33d with Johnny sometimes
but doesn't do it often bcz it tends to fuck him up a bit too much
can't roll one to save his life lmao
in terms of fucking he only does it when he's stressed
Did a threesome with Taeil once
He's the type to stare you down from some creepy ass dark corner at a party if he finds you hot.
He's definitely not the type to just tell anyone that he ate you out or fucked you randomly
but if one of his friends were to ask him
he's telling it all and giving you a rating outta 10.
for your sake
you betta hope he don't give you anything below 6.

So idk anything about 911 (the show) but my roommate (who is straight & doesn’t interact with fandom) watches it and I was telling her that people on here ship Buck and Eddie (at least I think that’s who you’re shipping) and she was like “yeah I can see them being a ship but Buck is too straight” which basically just means she’s a coward I think bc he’s the one with the bisexual lean 😔
hey, :) yeah its Buck n Eddie (Buddie) we're shipping. at first Maybe i'd get the "too straight" thing (im talking S1) because he was seen as a "womaniser", but the minute he saw Eddie he flipped. when Buck first sees Eddie in s2 the song playing is "What a Man", and it was shown in Buck's perspective. he was gone for him immediately, even if he hated him for like half an ep. very much a jealous hate. Buck is a bicon through and through, the show runners are just too cowardly to have Buck being explicitly homo on screen (although s7 is right around the corner we can only hope).
and then i guess cuz they've both had gfs the last couple seasons, that's maybe why she'd say he's too straight? but you can see so easily how Buck n Eddie interact vs their respective partners, even factoring in how long they've known each other. Buddie are gay bitches, Buck gotta be allowed to show his bi ass off this season.
anyway, tell your roommate to watch literally any comp of them 2 and you can see how in love they are, absolute dumbasses (also you should totally watch it's very fun!)

More T4T Alenoah since people actually seemed to like the last one! :3
Okay so when I said Alejandro had been pretty sure Noah was also trans from the beginning I mean apart from just ; ✨vibes✨, this happened on the way to Japan ;
Noah desperately hiding behind his teammates to avoid Harold and more of their plane facts (Harold thinks they’re friends. Noah does not.) and he’s like ; “THANKGOD they’re gone. Harold’s actually so fucking annoying I will literally kill myself if I have to so much as breathe the same air as them again.” And then Izzy was like ; “oh haha yeah no that guys actually so weird and ! I’m like- so surprised he hasn’t gotten thrown out of the plane yet!”
And then Noah just looks at her super weird and is like ; “Izzy, Harold actually made a twitter post last month saying they prefer they/them pronouns and are more comfortable with androgynous language, at least when we’re not filming, or when talking to the producers” (Harold is non binary and definitely writes think pieces on gender and why we need to break free from these concepts I DARE YOU TO FIGHT ME ON THIS IM PREPARED)
And Izzy is just like ; “oh haha okay theyre so quirky! Anyways like I said; you literally hate them, im surprised they haven’t gotten thrown out of the plane already lol”
And then Noah immediately went back to talking shit (while using Harold’s correct pronouns). And like when Tyler asked Noah’s just like ; “oh, no I don’t respect Harold remotely, I despise them and wish them misery and misfortune and if I never had to hear their voice again it would be too soon. …. But I’ll still respect their pronouns, duh.”
Alejandro was just in the corner like ; 😳. (When he’s a sarcastic know it all but understands disliking someone is no excuse to misgender them >>)
Also cause alenoah friendship REALLY started when they were leaving Egypt and Gwen made a bi joke (which Cody’s obnoxious bisexual ass ADORED btw) Sierra was like ; “oh haha I personally am ✨🥰cOdYsExuAl😚✨” and then Noah from the corner was just like ;
“More like embarrassing. And a lesbian suffering from comp het. But whatever, you’re not ready for THAT conversation.”
And when everyone else was frozen in shock you already KNOW Alejandro was stifling CACKLES. He was also the only reason Sierra didn’t beat Noah up for saying that (he used his big muscles as a shield Les gooo) and whispered to Noah so no one could hear ;
“They hated him, for he spoke the truth 😌” Noah choked.
And then they were friends! C’mon. We see them in the background talking and laughing with each other WAAAY too much for me to buy that they weren’t friendly.
Personally I’m convinced the reason we didn’t get more alenoah interaction was because they were talking a lot about trans solidarity and being obviously in love with eachother, and this queer phobic show just couldn’t handle that smh
(Yes I am insufferable about them thanks for asking!) okay so Noah was taking his testosterone pills one day after he dropped the singing comment and confirmed it, when Alejandro was just like ; oh yeah! I actually used to take the shots lol, switched to patches while on the show” and Noah was like ; “BRO WHY????”
Cause WHY WOULD YOU PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THAT??? (The answer is because Alejandro has issues) but anyways it lead to Noah bringing Heather into the argument so she could help him tell Alejandro ; ?!? No I don’t take my hormones through shots??! I’m waaaay too hot to suffer like that”
Anyways Alejandro and Noah totally just spent that first half of the season bonding over trans masc stuff.
Like Alejandro spent SO much time complaining about how his sweat used to smell like flowers, and how he definetly doesn’t miss the dysphoria but he does miss that.
Noah’s like ; yeah I actually kept some of my skirts because they’re waaaaay more comfortable than pants, but I don’t wear them outside cause then people wanna be queerphobic! Like yeah I’m a guy in a skirt, deal with it.
And they bonded over how they understand misogyny and rape culture in a way cis men really NEED to. And talk about all the male privledge they’ve noticed they’ve gotten (they got overheard and caused several debates on gender theory and politics between contestants that was pretty eye opening for some of them)
Anyways London happens and Alejandro has to get his trans homie eliminated cause he knows too much yeah yeah. So these two were still being petty and bitter, but this definitely happened after the wedding challenge ;
Alejandro and Courtney were debating about which dress had been the best, which then sparked a debate between all remaining contestants on masculinity and stuff:
And in the end Alejandro gets fed up; leaves, AND THEN COMES BACK IN THE V NECK WEDDING DRESS, looking hot AF (just look at slipper slopes fanart if you want a visual) and turns to Duncan, strokijg his soul patch and smirking like ; really chico? dresses make me any less of a man?? then why am i still far more one than YOU.
duncan contemplated on his actions and sexuality a lot that day. And then came away from the experience causing far less micro aggressions :3
And Noah totally saw because Chris definetly rehired him after his elimination (personally I believe he makes a point of firing Noah at least twice a week, it’s a thing at that point) and so he was helping the poor poor overworked (starved crazed desperate) interns in the editing room and was just like ;
Dammit you’re still a slimy eel who got me eliminated and I’m mad at you��� but I would REALLY like to make out with you rn unfortunately , this sucks.
Oki! So I have more, and just more trans TD headcannons in general; but this is already a lot TwT lemme know if anyone else wants more.

Worker’s Comp Doesn't Cover Everything
Tumblr media
Word count: 555 Summary: Gideon’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
Gideon was about a month into his first gig as an actual stuntman. He'd gotten jobs as an extra here and there, but he immediately took to doing stunts like a duck to water ("Nimble, like a beautiful little jockey" his agent liked to say). But something was off.
The long days on set were finally starting to wear him down. Everything hurt, he kept missing cues, maybe he was starting to get a cold too. Gideon just needed to push himself through his last scene of the day. Just one more scene. He was so focused on hyping himself up for the take that he had missed the director calling action. A thud reverberated through the set as Gideon took a roundhouse kick directly to the head. He still wasn’t sure what had happened as he was laid out.
“CUT CUT CUT” the boy heard through the ringing in his ears. From the ground, he saw his scene partner paralyzed with shock and the director and medics rushing to him. No broken bones or blood (thank god), but he did get his bell rung. "Kid, you're good for the day. I think it's a wrap for everyone." the director said from above him in an attempt to disperse the crowd that had formed around the poor kid. If he wasn’t as dazed, Gideon would’ve scoffed. He was not a kid. “I'm fine, really. I'm good for another take." The statement was immediately retracted when he stood and the ringing in his ears got so violent that he heaved into the nearest trash can. "No. No, you aren't. Go get checked out, try not to die, and talk to Linda in HR tomorrow about worker’s comp, okay?" Gideon was burning under the entire crew's pitiful stares. With a nod, he left to silently collect his belongings from the trailer and made his way back to his one-bedroom apartment. Alone. Just like every other day since he got here.
Gideon wanted his mom. The Gemstones could’ve afforded to hire nannies or au pairs when he was growing up, but Amber always took pride in caring for her boys. She attended every PTA meeting at her sons' private school, she had a cooler of capri suns and orange slices at every soccer game, and she’d immediately patch them up when they’d fall off their dirt bikes. She even went as far as to give her eldest son her shoebox of cash that she’d always kept tucked in the back of one of her massive closets “in case of emergency” when her husband could no longer look at their apostate son. In his concussed state, Gideon half-expected his mom to come in and nag him for not going to urgent care to get properly checked out.
He somehow made himself small in his closet-sized apartment, curled up in a ball on the floor of the bathroom, a white-knuckle grip on his phone. Gideon almost dialed her number when the screen went dim. He knew he’d put his foot in his mouth the night his parents disowned him. He wasn’t nearly as grown as he tried to convince them (and himself). Nineteen-year-old Gideon Elijah Gemstone was still a just kid and in that moment he needed his momma to tell him everything was going to be okay.
A/N: I finally finished after 6 months, but what a crazy 6 months it’s been!! My landlord sold my place, I moved to a whole different state, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle while moving into my new place, I learned the truth about some big family secrets, and I dropped my phone in a sewer grate and had to get a new one. Anyway, sorry it is so short. My writing is rusty and I doubt I will be writing on the regular, but I still wanted to post this. It has been glaring at me in my drafts since March. It’s a bit funny. I started writing this as the finale of season 2 aired and now they’re filming season 3. The other day someone followed my main and liked all of my Gemstones posts so I knew that at least someone would still be interested. I still have a few other ideas I may work on but we’ll see if I finish them.

So this is more to be answered after WTT but I wanted to ask now: thoughts on the 2022-23 season overall? How did you feel about scoring overall? The various skaters? Did any skaters catch your eye? How did you feel about the lack of Russians (please don't bring them back, ISU)? Yuzu and Nathan weren't competing, how did the men's field feel without the two titans? And any other thoughts on the season (and also Shoma's season in particular if you want)
So WTT is over...time to answer I guess 😉
Are you in for a long read bc there are a lot of questions 😅
Thoughts on the season overall?
I think there was long time no season as unpredictable as this one. All disciplines were quite unpredictable in almost every competition. You obviously still had favorites for the events but still the winner was not clear when in last seasons you could predict winners most of the time especially in ice dance. I think probably most predictable for wins was Shoma as even with mistakes he was far off the field and results do tell the story. Can you imagine that Shoma finished the season undefeated and actually never did his full layout? Crazy huh? Kaori was not the clear favorite you could have expected, she had a lot ups and downs. Same was for Loena Hendrickx. Ladies was as interesting as ever and for the first time in years I had lot of fun watching ladies competitions. Kihara/Miura were in constant battle with the US team, they won the comps but also profited from their mistakes. In the GP series I was kinda disappointed with the Pairs competition and perceived them as quite boring, but Worlds actually surprised me with the variety of good Pair skaters. I think you can see the development of this discipline. I thought it was an enjoyable season. I like chaos 🔥. I like when it's exciting who will win.
How do you feel about scoring?
Actually over the years I care less and less for scoring. The system is too rigged to be completely fair. I think the judging overall was mostly as fair as it can get in the season, means scoring was as expected with all the shortcomings it offers, nothing too out of the box besides that WR scores for Chock/Bates because wth? I was actually quite surprised that Ilia's PCS score didn't rise as much as I feared. I take the little victories at this point. Y'all know I am not one to be too rigid with technical stuff in scoring as I also see the shortcomings in the rulebook with too much freedom for interpretation, but let's say I was not too pissed off by the scoring most of the time, which I take as either "a victory for my nerves" or "a process of scores are meaningless anyway" 😅 I think overall the right ppl won the events with some few exceptions.
Did any skater catch your eye?
Actually mostly juniors: Hannah Lim/Ye Quan in ice dance. It's been a while I was this excited for an ice dance team. Minsol Kwan - her performance level at 13 years of age is extraordinary. Jia Shin and Mao Shimada also impressed me. But also the Australian Pair who competed in Juniors most of the season and had a fabulous debut in seniors at Worlds.
As for seniors Kao Miura definitely catched my eye. His energy and jumps are stunning to witness, especially live. I think his energy is sometimes a bit too much, but once he learns to control it he'll can be the full package.
Nina Pinzarrone is a skater I really adored first at Euros and especially when I could see her live at Challenge Cup. She's sweet.
Then there are a couple of skaters I long know or like but who got me on a new level of being their fan: Two are definetly Junhwan Cha and Haein Lee. At this Worlds and WTT they were on fire. They really did find their best at the end of the season. In general I really love Team South Korea, their comradery and their programs.
Keegan Messing - I always loved Keegan but now that it was clear that this would be his last season I cried many times over Keegan, the most just today. It made me realize how much I really adored him and how much I will miss him.
Adam Siao Him Fa is another skater I really like more and more. Sadly he had not the best ending to his season but he brings something special to the ice.
How did you feel about the lack of Russians?
I think banning the Russians is the right decision. Russia is using sport as a propaganda tool and sadly a lot of Russian coaches and skaters do support their agenda in words and actions. I think it's unimaginable how you can welcome them back to competitions. I for one would not know how to react when I suddenly face the Russians again at competitions knowing how they will be used for promotion. This war against Ukraine is a crime and as long as the war is on I don't want any of them back on international stages and I seriously hope that the consideration of letting them compete under neutral flag will not happen. Did the Olympics not teach anyone a lesson? They do not care for sanctions such as a neutral flag. Sports and politics cannot be separated and everyone saying it's not a conflict is lying. This all being said I liked or still like a lot of Russian skaters and despite the awful scoring at times - which the athletes themselves are not at fault - so it would be lie to say that I am not sad to not see one or the other, but tbh I didn't see any of the Russian competitions and I did not look at any of their programs. I just cannot watch it. I do not support it. I am not even sure how to follow those I am/was a fan of. I cannot suddenly unlike them, but I also do not feel good about supporting any of them like I used to. (Personally the skaters are not at fault for the war and I do understand why they don't take action against it, but still saying nothing doesn't mean they don't agree on what is happening. They were at the roots of the propaganda, it would actually be logical if they would follow the general Russian mindset.)
So to say I was completely unaffected would be a lie, BUT I don't miss Russian skaters at competitions especially in ladies it was so much more fun than all these years before where unfair rooftop scoring and predictability made it just unbearable at times. I would even say men and ice dance were hardly affected overall by their absense. It's not like they were the top notch only. In Pairs I thought about the Russians because this discipline especially in the GP series had a lower level than what we were used to. But I'd rather take empty fields than Russians back on a big stage. I do not want them back at any cost before the war in Ukraine is over.
Continued in Part 2 because this is already very long...

more dance studio au details under the cut bc i woke up too early this morning and wrote bc i couldn’t fall asleep again, and have now organized those half-asleep thoughts
- they’re all on the teaching team at a big commercial dance studio, which has tons of drop in classes but also a competitive team!
- jack teaches hip hop — the boy can GROOVE, and he’s known for sharp, hard-hitting choreo and the funnest class you’ll ever take. this is the vibe. as a teenager, he was a proper b-boy, but after a wrist injury he had to give up breaking and shift his focus to commercial hip hop. he can still dance like crazy but doesn’t perform much anymore, so it’s a treat when you get to watch him demonstrate in class (or even better, when you show up to someone else’s class and he’s dancing along in the back row).
- davey teaches ballet. of course he does. he’s a little intimidating at first, because his classes are pretty intense and serious, but he’s actually a total sweetheart who just wants to help you improve and learn. he was in a professional company for a few years, but ultimately didn’t enjoy the atmosphere and realized he much prefers teaching. his classes range from baby ballet, to adult recreational, to coaching the studio’s top teen dancers for major competitions. everyone knows his classes are hard as fuck, but so worth it because you always gain something from them
- race is the head coach for the most advanced comp teams, and he’s a definite jack of all trades. his signature is very difficult and intense jazz groups (very molly long style choreography) but he knows how to play to every individual dancer’s strengths when working on solos— he’ll give them anything from contemporary to tap to acro and everything in between, because he has a very well-rounded skill set from when he was a (very successful) competitive dancer himself. he still actively dances, but coaching his team of elite little prodigies is his number one focus.
- spot is race’s boyfriend who doesn’t have any dance experience but has totally immersed himself in the community at the studio. he drops into open classes sometimes just to try it (usually when jack is teaching) but mostly is just a steady presence as he pops in to drop off coffee and whatnot for race every so often. the kids all think he’s incredibly cool, and he’s not exactly sure what to do with the fact that he has a little fan club made up primarily of 8-12 year old girls, but he honestly can’t complain.
- kath teaches theatrical jazz, heels, ballroom/latin, and all that kind of stuff! she looooves some good sexy choreo and especially loves when people who wouldn’t usually move like that step out of their comfort zones to try it— most of her classes are adult recreational drop-ins for that reason. she’s all about building confidence and just has the BEST vibes
- medda is the company director and crutchie is her admin assistant (he danced growing up but his MS started getting worse as he got older so he’s officially retired now, he sometimes substitute teaches different classes). these two make the whole operation run, and it’s no easy task! there’s a solid week at the end of every summer where it’s dangerous territory to even talk to crutchie, because he’s so stressed about building the class schedule for the upcoming season that he could snap at any moment. he can normally be found at the front desk with a smile on his face, though! medda is usually either in her office or in one of the studios, teaching technique classes to the competition teams or just observing while the other teachers work— she started coaching race when he was a toddler so she thinks it’s fun to watch him and see how he’s grown <3
- anyways!! that’s a nice little dump of all the thoughts on my mind at the moment,, i have some plot ideas ready so i may or may not end up writing something! we shall see, folks.

Game Hammers
Tumblr media
HELLO! This is the first-ever-world-renowned Game Hammers blog. There are 2 Developers on this week's post, they are hopefully going to be on future blogs as well. The developers of this blog will track their progress in the week and whatever difficulties they encountered. The mission of this blog is to create a good environment for learning and exploring. Nolam This week I was working on a witch game, so I started by creating a new unity project with some cubes. I want to set it up to be a 2.5D sort of space, where you can move left and right but also see the depth of scenes, kinda like Tomba. In this project, I set up some core mechanics like wall jumping, ledge grabbing, moving, regular jumping, and some scaffolding for more complicated things like combat.
Here you can see the little block guy finding his way in life. In my progress towards moving, I thought it would suit the game to add a sliding mechanic for rails. So you can like, slide on rails. For this, I turned to splines - which I would later regret. If you don't know what a spline is: it's a bendy line. Bendy lines are very useful but very complicated as well.
Tumblr media
This was an attempt at a homemade spline made with the help of chat GPT. It was very rudimentary and I abandoned it after realizing unity has built-in splines. All of this so that I could make a bendy banister. For about 4 days I farted around and wasted my time with this, realizing that it's probably better to just do an easier straight line anyways. Whoops! After that cr*p, I tried to find a new productive avenue - so I went towards making some art.
Tumblr media
The game is about a witch who has to clean a house with her broom, and crossing my vision with Flodo's, I was able to come up with a model of the character, after an interesting attempt.
Tumblr media
that attempt ended up having cool hands, but they likely are to forever rot on my hard drive. This attempt, however, was much nicer despite having no fingers to speak of.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The character ended up having a poofy outfit that looks very warm on her - which I like a lot. I did lots of new things making this like faces and hair, and have been trying to improve my topology. Yesterday, my parents left on vacation and I am in charge of my 3 siblings. It's going to be a difficult week ahead - going back to school and stuff - so I'm excited to see what progress I can make in school and with modeling and game design. PS. Grammarly on tumblr is booty.
Spebby Hey there! This is the Spebby section of the weekly Game Hammers Blog. Like my compatriots, Nolam and Flodo, I’ll be rattling on about what I’ve been learning and doing this week of my life. It’s midterm season, and I’ve been hard at work on studying up. My focus has mostly been upon Calculus, with a focus on Parametrics, Polar Graphs and Surface Area of Rotation. I’m feeling pretty good about my study actually, I have a pretty good grasp on Integration and Convergence, and this midterm’s topics are pretty similar, so I think I’ll be all good! While studying Polar Graphs, I came across a pattern I particularly like, which I’ve dubbed “The Lotus”. Not a super original name, but I think it fits. I accidentally stumbled across this one, the function that creates it is 4cos(5θ/13). A render of it can be found below.
Tumblr media
Outside of Calculus, what else have I been working on? As a stinky Comp-Sci major, I’ve been working on that. I’m still fresh meat. I very much appreciate my CS professor. He’s quite willing to throw us into the deep and push the limits of what our little brains can think of. I’m pretty brash, so I don’t quite give each assignment the thought I probably should. Learning about in-line assembly arguments and how to effectively use them, proper memory management, creating truly class-agnostic functions and how to write fast and efficient code. I find programming quite fulfilling and therapeutic honestly. Making something run faster and figuring out why something wasn’t working quite how I suspected is always quite the reward.
I’ve unfortunately not had much time to work on programming in the lens of game development. Perhaps Nolam has better time management than I do, he always seems to find time to crank out another prototype. Prototyping is quite the art, I’ve never really had to write something from scratch like that, Flodo or Nolam have always beaten me to the bunch in regards to these sorts of things. At some point it’s on my todo list to get cracking with a prototype. I’ve found it frustrating being limited on what I can feasibly do in a project, but to be honest that’s given me some liberty to get the creative juices flowing and try something wacky within my limitations.
Continuing the theme of academics, outside of my STEM major, I’ve been trying to take some interesting humanities classes. Anthropology has been an interest of mine for awhile, at first I thought only Cultural Anthropology would interest me, but Primatology and other Biological Anthropology subdisciplines have proven to be even more interesting to me. Learning about how odd humans are from an evolutionary perspective, and the adaptations that were taken in order to allow for our unique form of movement or perhaps our ancient ancestors, those of Selam, Toumaï and Platyops. Anthropology is such an interesting subject; If you have the ability, enroll in an Anthropology class, they’re super interesting and can teach you a lot about the world and perhaps change your worldview. 
I could go on and on, but I feel it’s best to bring this entry to a close. Be catching you next week. Perhaps we could have a longer chat, no?

Oh I’ll keep asking! What was behind that practice outfit for Tessa specifically (but both!)? It was very different from the other practice dresses that season unless I missed something (which is probable!)
Ok so I don’t know any specific back story. The following is only off general info.
there was a picture she posted from what was apparently the first day of practice in which she tagged ‘Feeling’ (the brand that made all their costumes in the comeback) - she wouldn’t have done that if it was just a Bloch or Capezio unitard (or any other dancewear brand) (honestly at first glance it looks like a Bloch uni):
Tumblr media
while it was different to what she normally wears, they do often do the first practice at most comps in all black, so I guess she just got a new special one for the olys
there’s this IG live in which she talks about the weird and annoying rules/expectations in figure skating, including that they are expected to always practice in full costume, hair make up and that Tessa always found that dumb and wanted to push back against that. And during the comeback they kinda decided to go against those ‘rules’ as a matter to taking control of their environment, feeling empowered and being proud of their movement and physicality with out costumes to distract or hide anything, also as a matter of feeling more comfortable: x
as for Scott, he had worn his Carmen shirt costume several other times for exhibition dances (I’d never seen him wear it for practice tho before now) but going off the above of how they are expected to practice in costumes, this kinda meets halfway in that it is, or at least was a costume, but is so simple, comfortable and shows off his lines that it works perfectly fine as practice clothing.
do I think they coordinated their outfits (because they do match in a weird way) YES I DO. and it’s in the most subtle way. If you look in that practice video (2/17) and you see WeaPo (the no.2 canadian team) they are wearing matching purple practice outfits- that seems like a bit too much, like a bit too obvious that ‘hey we aren’t gonna wear costumes but we have matching practice clothes’. With TS, it’s kinda accidental, but not really. It’s much more subtle coz they don’t exactly match but they complement each other. And that they are black it’s more… standard- again like they aren’t trying too hard at it.
they only ever wore their costumes for the final practice at the olys (the day before -I’m assuming it wasn’t the morning of-practice) every other time she was in either her blue or green practice dress, this ‘heart’ uni or another uni/ Leo+tights. [I believe there was also a practice where she was in a black long sleeve Leo and short skirt that I’ve only seen pics- not video of which seemed very odd for them]
So anyway.. There’s some stuff on that.

AHHHHH CAST LIST OUT!
Alright bitches it is time for me to judge these Houseguests based on appearances and jobs only. I will be following this with my thoughts on their video interviews, but I really wanted to see how I’d do with the first impressions bc usually I am super wrong lol. Here we go....
Tumblr media
I don’t know how I feel about her yet, but the fact that her name is Alyssa and she’s from Florida is kind of a red flag. I hope she surprises me but for now I’m giving her a 3/10. 
Tumblr media
This girl seems so sweet! Also she’s from my home county in MD and lives 30 min away from my hometown so I might be a little biased. I may have to stan her idk yet. 9/10
Tumblr media
She’s giving me hardcore Kaitlyn bb20 vibes with that hypnotherpy shit. She might be cool but I’m straying away from her for now bc she may end up being the cracked one out of the group. Maybe I wanna stan the cracked one tho......5/10
Tumblr media
He’s either gonna be really chill or really annoying. He better be gay. 6/10
Tumblr media
She’s Brazilian which is cool but I don’t like her. Hopefully she shocks me and girlbosses her way to the end but I see only Whitney vibes idk why. 2/10
Tumblr media
She gives me highkey girlboss vibes but are they the girlboss over the men or girlboss ahead of all the other women vibes? Please please PLEASE don’t let me down. 7/10
Tumblr media
NO MORE ITALIANS PLEASE  0/10
Tumblr media
The fact that he’s unemployed gives me red flags but he doesn’t seem that bad? I’m hoping he drinks his respect women juice or hands will be thrown. 5/10
Tumblr media
He’s from Nigeria which is cool, also he has a very cute smile I will admit. Seems very friendly and like he would protect the underdogs but idk looks can be deceiving. 8/10
Tumblr media
No way this man straight, but I hope he’s not white gay TM. Seems like he has strong gen z vibes which I might align with a bit, but I’m not sure yet.....7/10
Tumblr media
He’s an attorney hm. But he’s wearing a cat shirt. I’m actually confused by this man 5/10 kjsdofiusdfsdg next
Tumblr media
I feel like this finna be the man everyone thirsts over but I can also see him disappointing us in the second half of the season. Definitely going to win every physical comp. Idk I’m just wary of the big buff men askjdoad 4/10
Tumblr media
I only get good vibes from her I can’t explain it. Although I know she was a cop before she became a chef, I want to like her. Don’t prove ACAB to us Nicole 8/10
Tumblr media
I feel like she’s going to align with white people only I can’t explain it she just seems so.....annoying. Alyssa and Anal lice 3.0 I’m calling it 1/10
Tumblr media
Everyone is already stanning her and honestly fair bc she’s gorgeous but I’m always nervous about pageant girls asdkljasdisd anyways 9/10
Tumblr media
So obviously he’s the token “older” person of the group. He seems cool in the photo but I need him to actually do well and not be an asshole like some older men that have appeared on here. Also why is it always older men and not women? Hmmmm 6/10

There might be Exile Tribe musicians who do have tattoos, but none I can think of at the moment. I don't think. I know he isn't an Exile man, but I know the musician Anarchy (who was 9 in H&L is obviously very covered in tattoos). But I'm not sure about the Exile Tribe yet though.
Those are the only two outcomes I could imagine for Cobra. Between the Nikka and her brothers owning their family's barber shop, Cobra's possibly able to get his hair done there. Or he dyes his own hair then. Unless you would want to be cute enough by having his girlfriend dye his hair sometimes, but only if she knows what she's doing though.
Obviously! Who wouldn't love Rocky... Rocky may have conservations with the women, he tips them well, and he would beat up anyone that mistreats the women. Unless there as some things I'm missing here.
Not only can't you just dye your hair without bleaching it first. If you'd dye your hair colors, not natural colors but colors (red, blue, pink, any colors), you can't just go from one color to the next because so many colors won't mix well if there is still some discoloration from previous colors. If some of the color is still in your hair anyway. I know Takeshi's hair isn't platinum blond like Rocky, or golden blond like Cobra, I have to say his hair is more of a honey blond to me. But still. His hair is very blond, too blond not to have been dyed. Maybe they steal hair dyes.
Really? I think Hiromi looks good with any style.. In my opinion. I have to say he does always look like a completely different person with any hairstyle. But I don't really think I have favorite styles for him though.
~
Well.. Yeah. That's true. The only why Yang could have possibly ended surviving was if he was critical injured, sent to the hospital, like being out of commission until the war was over. That situation. Something.
And that was another reason why some fans were complaining about the finale. Because they never killed the villains. But here is the thing.. I understand that characters like Choi, Yang and Lee would've killed a lot of the villainous characters - especially Myeong and Inbeom since they do deserve to die. But Gun and Jin have always been against the killings, the murders, situations involving death. They would not do it.
I was gonna to that too! Gun deserves every hug, every kiss, just any ounce of affection in his life. Those boys do deserve more affections.
~
So.. The money that Choi had in all, including the money Myeong did steal, was 84 billion dollars in gold bars. I forget how much one of the gold bars cost. I think millions. And each boy was given two gold bars at the end of the story. Enough to provide for their families and selves for the rest of their lives, for for quite some time anyway. There's that.
But I have Jin's reaction with money. If I see money, especially money that costs a lot - like millions and billions, I may have kept that money all for myself. But... I also respect Gunwoo's reasons for not taking the money, since Choi's last wish was to provide for people in need too.
The ending was a happy ending, minus Ju, for the characters that did survive by the end. And because of how the show ended... That would be why I don't know if the show would be continued with any seasons after this. I don't know. I haven't heard any confirmation or denial over anymore seasons. So who knows what might happen if they continue the show. And, if they don't continue Bloodhounds, I would really love to see these boys in more roles together. Especially since this a series like Bloodhounds just so happened to be Sangyi's first action role so I would love to see them in more action roles too. Along with any roles.
~
Honestly? Not to be disrespectful.. Half the time I forget you're gay.
If I'm being honest about this.
But yes! I mentioned that to you before. This is why these guys would be perfect husband material for me.. Not that I'm their type so I know nothing would ever happen. But besides them both being completely attractive. They're introverts, they're homebodies too. I'm an introvert who rarely likes leaving my house. I am not agoraphobic since people seem to think that. I just don't like interacting with people more than I have to. And! I don't know if you ever read their interviews. But I really have to say Doh-wan knows how to treat women in every relationship - especially romantic relationships. "Woo Do Hwan Claims He Treats His Girlfriends Like The Cherished Daughters Of Another Man." And, "Woo Do Hwan also revealed that he values manners in dating and that he considers them as daughters of another. I tend to be very mannerly when dating. No matter who I meet, I think of them as a precious daughter of another man. He then explained in detail what he's looking for in a girlfriend." That was an interview asking what his type of woman he's attracted to, and how he treats women he would be romantically involved with. What the fuck. This man is perfect for me. And! Not only could I imagine this with Doh-wan, but I could also imagine Gun-woo being this type of man too. Along with any sweeter characters that Doh-wan portrays in the roles he has ever done too.
Oh! About the exercise regime interview. They also mention methods for boxing, for their characters, about how their boxing methods have fit in with their character's personality. Like I mentioned before, Gun's an in box fighter (an aggressive close up fighter) while Jin's method is between an out box fighter (distance fighter) and southpaw fighter.
And before I forget. Yes.. Even though you only see Jin shirtless just a couple times after the time skip, they should have kept his scars even more defined though. The only time you would actually be able to see his scars is in the sunlight (like in the gifs I showed you). So I may just assume that since bars, clubs and even restaurants tend to have very dark lighting in their buildings.. I assume the lighting was too dark for people to see his scars. That's the only excuse I would accept for that.
I think guys would react that why, that they could emphasize in ways like this, is because they usually imagine their balls being crushed like that. I wouldn't be surprised if those reactions were real reactions in a situation like that. But yes.. I was also cheering Moon on for threating to crush the man's balls, I wish he'd still went through with the threat.
My characters would also cheer him on too, if they were not the ones to take that action into their own hands though. But he should do it.
~
Actually... Before I get into anything. I am going to tell you some trivia about the Korean military. Everyone knows Koreans actually have this mandatory military service compared to any other country, people do know this by now if you enjoy Korean celebrities - you probably would know that since Korean celebrities have military services too. But any mandatory military services are only for the Korean male populations, not the female population. Women would join the military voluntarily.
So you wouldn't have to add that into Da-min's backstory if you never wanted to. I thought I'd tell you in case you never even knew that fact.
But some of the backstory seems plausible. Because Mr. Oh was also a security guard back when Choi owned his loan shark business, but I guess he decided to stay with Choi after they shut the business down (and because of Choi's injures too). So they could have known both of their families for a long time, for as long as they have been friends like this. And Choi's so generous with his money towards people his cares for, so he could have gave Mr. Oh a decently sized paycheck any time he might have needed extra money.. Like how he was with Gun or Jin during their financial situations. So that wouldn't really surprise me.
Oh! Da-eun (the actress of Da-min) is actually born in 1994. She really seemed younger than that to me.. I mention this because Da-min was someone I imagined younger than Gun and Jin by a few years but not that much younger. Actually! Do Korean students start archery, in the high school or the college grades? And she seemed to be living alone. I know, I know.. The housing is different in Asian countries. So I might know about to comment about how she lives in that apartment alone before the boys lived there. I don't know. I'm still figuring things out.
Maybe, besides archery, she can learn out to use distance weapons if she has to protect herself or even anyone else from the main group.
Well... I still haven't figured out if I'm going to completely remove Ju's character from my story, or have new characters around the time she leaves (besides Da-min). This is why I have to read the webtoon story.
If your character does know how to ride a motorcycle. Then maybe I'd be able to imagine Yang, Lee and even Ju teaching her how to ride for bonding moments between those characters. I don't know. Since Lee and Yang already knew how to ride motorcycles in the younger years.
~
You're imaging the Do Or Die era style with blue and turquoise hair, at least instead of purples. Makes sense.. I think. I don't know.
But I did find plenty of pictures of AleXa with brighter and lighter blue hair in pictures. But.. she is wearing a mask in most of those pictures.
~
Whenever I do decide to rewatch All Of Us Are Dead, then I will really have let you know about things that I may have missed the first time I watched the show. I don't know when I'll watch the show though.
But! Maybe? I know a lot of the male actors were tall. Maybe that was why he didn't seem that tall to me? I don't know. But that would be an obvious reason. And, for me, most of the guys I know personally have been over six feet tall.. So tall people never faze me as a short person.
i know ryuto from generations has tattoos, and i think takahiro - who plays masaki - has a couple too. hiroomi has a couple iirc, and maybe elly does? so there’s a couple, but i think a lot of them are decently small and usually covered up.
don’t bother cobra for one night every month or so, he’s busy bleaching his hair. don’t distract him! don’t call him! if there’s a problem, figure it out yourselves!
takeshi’s gotta have bleached his hair at least a lil bit. like bleached it with leftover stuff while helping pi with his regrowth/red dye. it’d be a waste of bleach otherwise. just slop it on there.
~
it would’ve been nice if while they were at the hospital there was a scene of like yang being in surgery, in worse condition than jin. i would’ve liked him to survive.
i do wish myeong gil at least would’ve died, but it wouldn’t have been in character for gun to kill him, even as upset as he was. gun and jin aren’t killers like lee and yang. they’re good boys! they wanted myeong gil to pay for what he’d done, but they’re not killers. hell, you can see it at the end when gun gets so upset, he would’ve been way worse off if he’d killed myeong gil.
let gun and jin get kisses! and hugs! they deserve it!!
~
i think it was 500 million for each gold bar? or was it 500 million for two? so a decent amount for both of them that min beom was willing to cover. i bet gun would give the money to his mother again, or at least half of it like he did with his boxing winnings.
jin was really so excited about the money, but he was also on gun’s side about doing something that choi would’ve wanted. i hope they go get some rib eye since they were talking about it the whole season.
i’m in denial about there possibly not being a second season. i’m just going to pretend and not look at any cancellation news. i do hope do hwan and sangyi work together again soon tho.
~
my attraction - if it can even be called that - to men is purely aesthetic. i think they’re nice to look at but i don’t wanna kiss them or have sex with them or do anything romantic with men. i enjoy reading/writing/imaging someone else doing things with hot dudes. but i don’t wanna do any of it myself tho.
women tho, i will go stupid for women, i am painfully lonely and starved for even just a kiss from a pretty girl; my chest physically hurts at merely the thought that i’m not getting regular kisses from a girl.
i’m just going to pretend that jin just heals up better than gun, so his scars didn’t develop as noticeably. or that he just like slopped on those scar creams that minimise the visibility of scars.
guys are like cringing and uncomfortable about ball stuff, meanwhile girls are like ‘get his ass, do it’.
~
oh thank god. i nearly always forget about the mandatory military service in korea until it comes up and i haven’t read really anything about it. but at least now i dont have to plan for it for da min and bi.
i dont how much earlier the choi backstory was, so da min could’ve been born before or after choi closed his business. either way, choi probably met her when she was very young.
there were archers at the high school in all of us are dead, so i think some schools have archery clubs. maybe the more private, expensive ones. i imagine she did it in high school, maybe tried for the olympic team after she graduated, then eventually just went to go work for choi and put archery aside as a hobby until it gets serious with the loan sharks and all the big fights.
since bi’s dad taught her how to cook and trained her with knives and self-defence, lee can teach bi how to ride a motorcycle and slit people’s throats while riding. it’s fun uncle bonding time!
~
i’m imaging bi was blonde at the start for her introduction, dyes her hair blue at some point and then it slowly fades over the six month skip because she doesn’t have time for hair up-keep while they’re training and in hiding.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 216
Girls, Girls, Girls/Robot of Sherwood
“Girls, Girls, Girls”
Plot Description: After discovering powerful with Rowena is recruiting followed, Sam and Dean come up with a plan to capture her. But they’ve got competition
Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: I literally have no idea. Will check in later with a verdict
Dean’s on a dating apppppp!!! I mostly find it fascinating because he’s always tried to be so under the radar (probably because of all the credit card fraud, impersonating law enforcement, and murder charges but you know…)
Nooooooo, oh no. Poor baby’s first catfish. Sam knows it. I know it. Dean’ll figure it out. Oh…I guess, uh, it’s…not a catfish. My apologies, Dean
CAS AND HANNAH ARE BACK!! Hannah. Hannah, no. HELLO?? HANNAH?! What a weird non-attempt attempt at seducing Castiel. She doesn’t NEED to shower, but she’s going to go take one anyway…but like, did you have to strip in the middle of the room?? Does Hannah not wear a bra?? Are her tits just naturally at that placement? Good for you, girl
I’m taking back most of my apology. Omg…DEAN, DO NOT TRADE YOUR SOUL FOR SEX.
Uh oh. Hannah’s vessel’s husband has come into the picture
Rowena’s a total milf. She’s beautiful, she’s powerful, she just rescued a couple sex workers from exploitation, she’s even Scottish
Oh, Hannah…this is a mess now…
Rowena showing these girls how to get what they want, what they deserve. Good for her!!
If a spell hasn’t been used in 300 years and was only known by one person, WHY CAN SAM JUST GOOGLE IT??
ROWENA!!! I don’t think he’ll get workers comp if you KILL him
Nooooo, not this dude again. Marine dude with the grudge against Dean
Hannah, you are just lying to yourself now. I know you’re in love with Cas. Everyone can see it. That was not just convincing your vessel’s husband that she moved on from him
That’s the perfect pondering bridge, though. This…was unexpected. But I do kind of like it. I’ll miss Hannah, but her decision to give Caroline her life back after feeling her call out for her husband. It’s a good ending
Ah, dang. Why’d you have to kill one of your pupils, Rowena??
Omggg, can we just get rid of this guy?? I just don’t wanna see Grear Value Jeremy Renner anymore. This plotline isn’t interesting and it never was
Oh, Dean how wrong you are about how your story ends. It’s not the edge of a blade or the barrel of a gun…it’s so much shittier. It’s the end of a rusty nail…
You did the right thing, Cas. Even though it hurts. Oh….oh Cas…googling Jimmy Novak.
HER FERAL TAUNTING OF CROWLEYYYYY THOOOOOO
“Robot of Sherwood”
Plot Description: when robots threaten Sherwood Forest, the Doctor must team up with Robin Hood
This is legitimately one of like two episodes I remember from this season (which I believe was the last season I watched)
Disney’s fox Robin Hood is hotter :/
Robin is so earnest and the Doctor is so cynical, so the combination is kind of delightful.
Clara’s so smitten. She definitely saw the Disney cartoon
The Doctor taking all kinds of samples (hair, blood, etc. he took friar tuck’s sandal) because there’s no way any of this is real
🥺 just Clara noticing he’s sad because Robin laughs too much. Because she knew a man who laughed too much because he was sad, and the way the Doctor doesn’t recognize it and calls Robin and his merry men simple for it 🥺
*agonized wailing* “when did you stop believing in anything?” “When did you start believing in impossible heroes?” Like she’s not looking directly at one
Doctor wtf…changing up the Robin Hood myth?!
Oh the robots are BAD bad. If a human gets tired doing whatever job the robots are having them do…death. What an interesting commentary that could make
It’s about time Clara yelled at them for being idiots
The Sheriff thinks Clara is the ring leader. OBVIOUSLY. You two were just pointlessly bickering the whole time
She’s very good at playing men. It’s fun to watch. They’ll tell her anything, trust her with any story or information…well, til they decide they should wed her
Oh nooo, this is the part where Robin realizes he’s not real ☹️
Even if he’s not real, Clara’s having such a good time. I’m so glad she got to have this. Maybe it wasn’t EVERYTHING she thought it would be, but it was amazing nonetheless
Awwwww, and the Doctor reunited him with Marian 🥹

Big Brother: DVHS (Part 1)
As a pretty big Big Brother fan, I was hyped to see this simulator, and like DVHS ITMLFY, this is going to be in a couple parts, since it’s pretty long. This is also made with the most basic template, not any specific season, so there aren’t any twists or anything. Please lmk if you want me to use a specific season’s format if you want to see this again! Enjoy!
Week one:
The alliances are 1) Fujimoto and Saito, which is incredibly interesting to see right off the bat, 2) Ikeda and Aoyama, 3) Yoshida, Sasaki, Maeda and Hamasaki, which I also find very interesting 4) Yoshida, Sasaki and Hamasaki as girlpower I guess lol. We all know how girls alliances tend to go, but if it’s just the three, I’m interested to see how that goes.
With the final three in the Wipe Out HOH comp being Oshiro, Yoshida and Abe, Abe ends up winning the HOH and putting Camila and Yasu on the block. They don’t seem like huge targets at all- unless you consider that they both would probably have amazing social games.
Playing in Veto alongside Abe, Camila and Yasu are Ikeda (Houseguest’s Choice for Abe), Miyuki (Camila’s pick) and Maeda (Yasu’s pick). Ikeda ends up winning the BB Galaxy Veto comp, and Ikeda then decides not to use the Power of Veto. Again, I think of the social games of both Camila and Yasu, though I’ll be kinda sad if Camila is voted out first.
Random events: Fujimoto accidentally breaks an item he borrowed from Yasu; Ikeda isolates himself due to the stress of the game; and Saito invents a new game. Which seems completely unlike her but is hilarious nonetheless.
Votes to evict Yasu: Sasaki (she would NEVER), Maeda, Fujimoto, Nakamura, Ikeda, Rikimaru, Hamasaki
Votes to evict Camila: Oshiro, Yoshida, Saito, Miyuki (SHE ALSO WOULD NEVER), Aoyama (okay he would), Matsumoto
And by a vote of 7 to 6, Yasu is evicted. Which I think makes some sense, because as I said, her social game would be UNPARALLELED. If she won any comps through the game, she would be unbeatable.
Week two:
The only change to the previous alliances is that Hamasaki leaves the alliance of her, Yoshida and Sasaki.
The final three in Big Brother BBQ are Fujimoto, Hamasaki and Ikeda (quite the trio lol). Fujimoto ends up winning the HOH, and puts up Ikeda and Oshiro. I think Ikeda might’ve put himself as a target because of his Veto win and isolation, y’know?
As for Veto, there’s Saito (Fujimoto’s Houseguest’s Choice), Abe (Ikeda’s) and Matsumoto (Oshiro’s). I feel like Abe or Matsumoto would change the noms. And, completing a win streak of two Vetos, Ikeda wins Super Veto! Which he then uses on himself. As a replacement nominee, Fujimoto chooses Nakamura, who I also feel would have a strong social game.
Random events: Fujimoto has a public emotional breakdown from the pressure of the game (poor guy), Hamasaki and Miyuki have a heated argument, Abe flips Miyuki’s mattress for some unspecified reason, and Ikeda keeps isolating himself.
Votes to evict Nakamura: Camila (expected), Sasaki, Maeda, Saito, Matsumoto
Votes to evict Oshiro: Yoshida (unexpected), Abe (also unexpected), Ikeda, Rikimaru, Miyuki, Aoyama, Hamasaki
And by a vote of 7 to 5, Oshiro is evicted. I think in this case, Nakamura’s charm works for him in saving him, especially since he was a replacement nominee. I wonder if he was a failed backdoor plan? Would the simulation tell me if that was it? Anyway
Week three:
The final three of Majority Rules are the former alliance members, Yoshida, Sasaki and Hamasaki. Hamasaki wins this HOH, interesting since she’s the one no longer in that alliance of three, though she’s still in the alliance with those two and Maeda. That said, she puts up Miyuki and Ikeda. Miyuki makes sense, since there was that argument last week, and Ikeda likely for the same reasons as last week. Though I guess I feel bad for him being on the block two weeks in a row.
Veto is played by those three in addition to Rikimaru (Hamasaki’s), Sasaki (Miyuki’s) and Aoyama (Ikeda). Ikeda keeps having good picks, since he and Aoyama are aligned. And in Keeping Up with the Jonses, Aoyama wins the PoV and, unsurprisingly, uses it on Ikeda. Hamasaki then puts Abe up as his replacement.
Random events: Fujimoto accidentally makes an inappropriate comment in conversation (jeez he can’t catch a break), Yoshida finds Miyuki creepy and tells everyone else, Matsumoto and Nakamura bond, and Rikimaru attempts to blame and call out Miyuki for certain actions in the house and how she deserves to leave. Wow, this is feeling a lot like early this season /hj but also seems like something Rikimaru would do tbh.
Votes to evict Miyuki: Yoshida, Sasaki, Nakamura, Saito, Ikeda, Rikimaru, Aoyama
Votes to evict Abe: Camila (yeah keep ur gf), Maeda, Fujimoto, Matsumoto
And by a vote of 7 to 4, this game really likes the number 7, Miyuki is evicted and my heart is broken. I think maybe her argument with Hamasaki kicked this off, plus Rikimaru and Yoshida piling on in addition to Miyuki being unable to win the PoV. Sorry ;-;
Week four:
In the Steel Cage Match HOH comp, Ikeda, Abe and Sasaki are the final three, with Ikeda taking the win. Honestly, with him isolating himself and with his PoV wins, I’m interested to see how this goes for him after this week. He puts up Fujimoto and Hamasaki, which makes a ton of sense given the last two weeks.
In the Veto, playing are Aoyama (Ikeda’s Houseguest’s Choice), Camila (Hamasaki’s) and Matsumoto (Fujimoto’s). And in High and Dry, Hamasaki wins the PoV and obviously uses the PoV on herself. As a replacement, Ikeda puts up Nakamura. I guess the guy’s a popular backdoor attempt? Or something.
Random events: Hamasaki flips Abe’s mattress, again for unspecified reasons, and Yoshida makes an effort to improve relationships in the house even though she probably destroyed a few last week.
Votes to evict Nakamura: Yoshida, Abe (that tracks), Aoyama, Matsumoto, Hamasaki
Votes to evict Fujimoto: Camila (unexpected lol), Sasaki, Maeda, Saito, Rikimaru
This is a vote of 5 to 5, with Ikeda voting to evict Fujimoto. No surprise there; it’s likely revenge for Fujimoto putting him up week two.
Week five:
Since Fujimoto was evicted, the first alliance (him and Saito) is now no more.
The final three in Houseguest Soup are Yoshida, Abe and Sasaki, with Yoshida winning this one. Which, reading the description, seems to check out. She decides to put up Ikeda and Camila, both of which seem to check out as well.
For PoV, Saito (Yoshida’s), Maeda (Ikeda’s) and Hamasaki (Camila’s Houseguest’s Choice) play in OTEV the Absent-Minded Alien and Yoshida ends up winning. Fittingly, she doesn’t use the veto.
Random events: y’know what Rikimaru did to Miyuki two weeks ago? Yeah, Maeda does that to Ikeda.
Votes to evict Ikeda: Sasaki, Maeda, Saito, Hamasaki
Votes to evict Camila: Abe (oof lol), Nakamura, Rikimaru, Aoyama, Matsumoto
And by a vote of 5 to 4, Camila is evicted. Jeez she’s had a rough last couple of weeks and I think this means she didn’t make it to jury, unfortunately. But she wasn’t very strong with comps (at all), and she probably didn’t have too strong of a social game, and she wasn’t in alliances either.
Part two coming soon!

i have this silly future!fic thought that i haven’t shared because i didn’t know how it would fit into the timeline of the story, but. you mentioned yz learning how to knit? lots of thoughts about that! gonna keep this ‘short’ and just share one.
thinking about yz bonding with jv’s gaggle of skaters. maybe catalina, maybe someone else — more on that later. but anyways, let’s say he bonds with catalina, right. and then assuming the fic stretches out at least to the fall (start of fs season), let’s say they have a little moment where catalina asks if he’d be willing to come with her to her first comp. and she doesn’t say it but. she’s scared. it’s her comeback season, her mom is trying to find her a new coaching team as they speak, rumour has it her rival has added another quad to her free skate — it’s just a lot.
and like. obviously yz says no. first of all, they don’t even know if catalina will still be with their team jv in the fall + he’s still trying to lay low + he doesn’t want to? accidentally make jv feel like he can’t do his job as a coach? so it’s a no, but a gentle one. catalina just kinda does that ‘teenage brisk nod’ thing and is like ‘okay, that’s cool. sorry to bother you, bye’ and wanders off. but yz can tell she was kind of hurt by it (because it takes a lot of vulnerability to ask for support when you need it!! and she was trying to reach out, she was!! and she got turned down so clearly she got it right the first time, trusting people is for losers. take that jv.)
and anyways, this all culminates with yz crocheting her a little black cat (google has some good examples), maybe he even adds a little yz fruit to it. and then he sticks it on a keychain and is like ‘here. now you can take me with you to the competition’. and catalina loves that damn keychain, even if she’ll never admit it. the only time she removes it from her bag is to put it on the boards by the rink instead, for extra luck.
…i just wanted to take about yz crocheting a little black cat. this got out of hand ^^; — hope you’re doing well 💝
N O T silly this is the cutest thing I’m crying. crying at Catalina asking for support and being (gently but still) denied. the brisk nod. sobbing. BUT THEN crying of joy at the crocheted cat ;;;;;; this is too good. too pure. no words. i could talk about this for hours.
now idk how you feel about this but I’ve been thinking. is there really a way yuzu could ever be a coach? i feel like anyone would get overwhelmed with the demand, bc of his legend and celebrity status now. i feel like he would do more of intensive camps, few per year, but that’d be it? I could see him work on those AI machines tho. a brainy job for a brainy boy. glasses and all. what do you think.

A Spa Treatment
Kim Dahyun
Tags: Anal
Words: 2.9K
A couple of things first.
1. This is to celebrate the last rawe ceek. Yay!
2. Obviously, the timeline isn't correct.
Anyway, hopefully, you'll enjoy it. I hope @asmodeussoularium would enjoy it too.
Inspiration: Heard some lucky bastard had something like this at Canada 2011.
Tumblr media
“Hey dude, are you on? The race is going to start soon.” Your long-time friend on the call is excited about what’s coming up next.
“Yeah, I just got home from getting snacks. It is for Dahyun.”
“I can’t believe you got her to watch the race with you.”
“Ugh Yeah, She promised after I met her parents.”
Finally, today is the day. It is your favorite circuit on the 2021 F1 calendar, Spa-Francorchamps. Why? The long-run down from La source to the fast left-right-left of Eau Rouge to go up to Raidillon before the run down the long Kemmel Straight finally ending at Le-comp. The tricky flat but the almost not left-hander of Pouhon.
This season has been great, with Verstappen challenging Hamilton, the 7-time world drive champion, for the title. Red Bull is fighting for the constructors against Mercedes, dominating since 2014.
This race got exciting even before it started. The entire weekend has rained. Yesterday on qualifying, Verstappen got pole, and your Georgy Boi, in a Williams, lines up on the front row ahead of Hamilton.
“Oh, did you see Perez hit the barriers on the war to the grid? Suspension broke!” The scream of your friend as you turn on the television.
“Shit! Is he out?”
“I think so.”
“Well, Verstappen went out last year in Hungary and he joined the race…”
“Dude, I don’t think it isn’t the same.”
*DING DONG*
“That’s Dahyun. See you at Light’s out.”
“and away we-”
Before going to the door, you drop off the chips and drinks you bought down on the table, ready to be consumed during the race. The doorbell rings for a second time, asking you to hurry up to open it. But when you swing the door, your girlfriend, Dahyun, is wearing her typical casual outfit of an oversized shirt and joggers.
“Oppa, I can’t wait to watch Louie win the race.” as she jumps to your arms.
But you stop her.
“It is Lewis, and I’m a Checo fan.” Pouting at her but her kiss on your lips makes you forget her silly mistake.
“Come on, let’s go and see the race. It is in Holland, right?”
“It is in Belgium, Dahyun, Belgium.”
“Belgium, Holland, what’s the difference?”
Her ignorance of your favorite sport annoys you a bit. But it is your chance to show her what Formula 1 is like. You lead her to the tv room as Dahyun cuddles up on your comfy couch. However, all of your attention is on race. You turn up to the TV as Crofty says:
“There are spa weekends, but there is nothing like a weekend in Spa. Welcome to the Belgian Grand Prix! The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is the longest circuit in Formula 1. It has the largest elevation change of any circuit on the calendar with 102.2 meters. One of the founding circuits of the Formula 1 World Championship. This is the 66th World Championship Belgium Grand Prix at this 4.3-mile circuit or 7 kilometers. Nineteen corners with 10 to the left 9 to the right. The tires this afternoon, well will we see slicks doubt full really, are C4 C3 C2. All drivers have plenty of slick tire compounds to use. Wet weather, and intermediates, they are going to be used. Wets right from the start, as we start the formation lap behind the safety car.” The music to your ears as Crofty does the circuit intro. But your worst fears confirms
Crofty adds in the starting grid announcement, “... P7 Sergio Perez but crashes on his way to the grid. He doesn’t race….” You sigh in disappointment after seeing Perez not starting on the race. But in other news. “Kimi Raikkonen has a pit lane start for changing his front wing for a different specification.”
“Oppa, why are there two empty spaces in the line-up thingy.” Asking as she looks upon you, lying down on your lap, squeezing your cheeks.
“Didn’t you listen? Perez is out, and Raikkonen is going to start from the pit lane because he changed a part of his car.” You try to hold in the slight anger inside you, but you look down at Dahyun’s pretty face. Soon, the irritation goes away.
Dahyun changes her position to sit on your lap, kissing you again. But you try to ignore her and focus on the race as the formation lap is about to start.
“Race control has delayed the start of the race while we try to wait for the storm to go through. Crofty, I have been going to Grand Prix since the 60s, over 550 of them. But I have never seen such consistent miserable weather.” Brundle explains
“Well, I guess there can be too many good things.” you irritated, agitated that the race isn’t going to start yet.
“Yes, we are going to have a delayed start, but the intention is to have Bernd Mayländer and the safety car lead the drivers away and to complete as many laps as possible. Michael Masi, the race director, felt necessary to clear the water and the spray of the track.” Crofty adds.
Dahyun continues to kiss your cheeks, forehead, and down at your neck.
“Come on, don’t you want to do something before the race starts. It is delayed, isn’t it?” as Dahyun’s finger walks up from your chin to your forehead.
“Race is going to start soon. Just you wait.”
Being impatient with you, Dahyun kneels before you and pulls down your shorts as your boxers are exposed. She looks intently while licking her lips at the long hard snack sticking up on your crotch.
But suddenly, you quickly pull your shorts back up. “They’re off to the formation lap.” pointing at the TV.
Dahyun returns slightly disappointed, pouting her lips but her promise to watch the race with you makes her mask it with a façade of excitement.
The 19 f1 cars follow the Mercedes GTR, the 18 on the grid, and Raikkonen from the pitlane. However, Perez is still in the garage. Visibility is horrendous, even from the onboard camera.
“I already cannot see anything behind,” Hamilton says.
“I have to give a little bit more space from the safety car.” Verstappen is telling his engineer and backing off the required ten car lengths.
“It is pretty awful. I can barely see the car in front.” Norris complains
“They are not going to start the race. The start procedure has been suspended.” Croft announce.
The race director decides to red flag the race again as a precautionary measure with all driver feedback. Bringing a massive disappointment on your face, you have been waiting all week to watch the race.
However, Dahyun is going to her other plan. She comes up to you and starts kissing you again; you didn’t even bother resisting.
“Come on, Oppa, let’s have some of our fun before the race starts.” Pushing you down on the couch. As she kneels on top of you, removing her top, showing her braless chest.
“Oppa, I know you want them.” Without saying a word, you move up on her succulent breast and start sucking on them. She moves her hand down into your shorts to stroke your flaccid cock and turns it into a hardened pillar.
As it is now ready, she let go of the grip and cups her hands on your face kissing it, then slowly moving down until your shorts peck the bulge she had prepared.
The excitement of the race now transforms into an itch of having sex. You remove your shirt showing the muscular physic that Dahyun always loves.
She pulls down your shorts, relieving the cock of the tight boxer shorts prison. As it twitches, her hand slowly wraps around it. The long, hardened shaft was ready for her mouth to consume. She gives a few tugs before devouring it. Her tongue is licking in it entirely, her delicate lips encircling your cock as her mouth moves up and down, gently as you slowly release a quiet moan.
But she perceives it as her it isn’t enough, so she ups her pace. The vigor of her motion increases, her hand grips the lower half to aid her. She yanks it unpainfully to stimulate your body. Finally, hearing your excessive moans of pleasure. She sees your satisfaction with her work. The pace now steadies, slowing down, giving you some time to calm your breathing.
As she pops her mouth off of your cock and stands, removing her pants, showing off her tiny, clean-shaven slit. She looks at you with excitement, now knowing it is her turn. The nakedness arouses your senses, resurging your libido—the urge to share the orgasm.
You get comfortable on the couch as she straddles your lap, your cock rubbing against the mouth of her pussy. She leans in, pushing her lips against yours, first gently, then roughly. Your hands move from her tight waist down to her ass in between the cheeks, first touching her asshole.
“Do you want it here?” asking while doing some poking around to stimulate her.
“Not now, Oppa, that can be for later.”
She gets up and slowly rubs the length of your cock onto the entrance of her pussy, teasing both you and her. Slowly, dropping herself, trying to take in the entire shaft inside her tiny hole. Despite the countless times, you have already had sex with each other, your size and her pussy still haven’t fully adjusted to one another. But regardless of the slight pain, she allows your cock to enter, having the pleasure overcomes the discomfort.
Dahyun’s tiny cries for help as your cock fully enter inside her. On her knees and grabbing onto your shoulders, she moves up and down. Her face shows a mixture of pleasure and distress while you give a wide grin. Seeing that, Dahyun ups her pace, her ass cheeks slamming against your thighs. Her gentle skin begins to touch your body. Leaning into your shoulder, she begins to breathe onto you. Her tiny pants tickle your ear.
The pheromones that you emit motivate her to push harder. Your moans scream of pleasure exchange as Dahyun pushes in and out of your cock. You caress her body as she moves around, forward-backward, and all-around your cock. Slapping her ass, leaving a big red mark on her white canvas of an ass. You hold on to Dahyun’s soft white waist to assist her pace. Slowly, making her move faster. Her pussy begins to leak out fluids, lubricating the inside of her walls and coating your cock.
Soon, you feel your legs buckle. Your balls are going to send out the load. The cock is going to spurt out cum.
Suddenly:
Crofty says. “According to the stewards, Perez can take part in the race. If his car can be fixed.”
You throw Dahyun off your almost climaxed cock, with some of her liquid spills out of her pussy. But regardless, your excitement shows as Perez might still be in the race.
Her butt lands on the floor. She shows a face of annoyance caused by you prioritizing the race over her. She sits back on the couch butt naked, arms and legs crossed.
You pick up your phone and text your friend.
“Did you hear that Perez might still race?”
“I heard, but I think it is impossible. I’m not sure if Red Bull can fix the car on time and even a pitlane start. With the time left, I don’t know if I will even get into the points.”
“He has better race pac-“ after hearing a crying sound, you put down your phone, unable to reply.
You look to your left seeing Dahyun sobbing with her hands on her face.
“Dahyun, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong with you?”
“Is that race more important than me?”
Speechless and unable to answer, the only thing you do is to wrap Dahyun in your arms as she settles down.
“Do you still want to have sex? I haven’t cummed yet,” you ask
She looks up with glee; a broad smile runs across her face.
Leaning in and whispering, “Want anal?”
Looking at her, surprised, you pick her up like a baby and transport her to your room and toss her onto the bed, ass facing you. You grab the lube from the desk drawer and coat a layer on your hands and fingers, then slowly insert it in her asshole to give a good feel on what’s about to come. Rubbing some lube around your cock to prepare it as well.
Your cock is ready and excited to see you enter her asshole, also lubricated from her cum from the previous session. Before you insert it, you look up on Dahyun’s face seeing her readiness to take on the challenge; then, she gives the nod to confirm you are allowed.
“Go ahead, destroy me.” Preparing herself
Without care for Dahyun’s wellbeing, you just shoved your large cock inside her tiny asshole. She releases the loudest roar you have heard since your time together. In the first thrust Ignoring her pain, you just press in balls deep. The cries of torture and thrusting of your cock follow the same rhythm. The tiny cunt that gave her the slightest discomfort a while ago is now gigantic compared to what you are fucking.
You continue your movement. Being soft gentle isn’t the priority anymore. You enter your door of the victim of your cock. The repetitive, rough action of ripping her rectum inside her body destroys who is now in front of you.
“Ugh! It is painful!”
“Do you want me to stop?”
“No, it is okay. Keep ongoing.”
You flip on her back, making her face you. You swoop down a see a large cave that used to be her ass. It is nothing now but a place to insert your cock. You line up again and start slamming her again.
Her face says it all. The pain on your cock is destroying her tiny hole. But she likes it. The feeling of getting destroyed shows euphoria, especially seeing you enjoy it. Your delight is more important than the punishment she is going through.
The look on her worries you a bit, but she still allows you to continue. You pound her even harder. The slapping sound of her ass smashing against yours is music to your ears. Her loud moans and your groans fill the room, echoing around the walls. Dahyun’s face reacclimates from her pain back to pleasure. Seeing this encourages you to speed up to try to finish yourself. As your legs weaken, you start to feel your climax.
“Where do you want it? Where do you want it?”
Her lack of response didn’t help in choosing where to finish. You try to ask again before it gets too late. Your intentions are maybe different from hers. But you always respect her opinion first. But since she didn’t say anything, you assume you can choose.
You continue running inside her asshole. The cavern inside her fully adjusts to your gigantic cock, allowing free movement. Soon, your legs feel weak. Your knees are ready to give in. The inside is ready to burst.
Before you know it, your cock starts throbbing; you pump harder to speed up again until your entire load gets shot inside her. Instead of her pussy getting filled, her rectum gets filled up by your hot sticky cum. Your cock is pulsating after each round of liquid enters her.
“That….was….amazing, Oppa.” The tired girl tries to speak in between her gasp of air.
Your legs finally give away and collapse by all the effort you gave, which tires you out. Lying there on the floor, exhausted from smashing your girlfriend. Dahyun lays down with you, cuddling.
“What do we do with the cum?” she asks.
“You aren’t going to be pregnant, right?”
You move your hand towards her asshole and touch a bit, feeling the sticky fluid inside.
She just laughs, pulling you up and snuggles with you in bed. “Don’t worry. It isn’t the same hole.”
Laying down with Dahyun in your arms, “No offense, but I should focus on fucking.” you randomly say
“Huh?”
“Oh, nothing, never mind…..”
The following day you wake up Dahyun still by your side, you get out of bed and walk to the living room, and you realize you forgot something.
What happened at the race?!
The TV is still open, but unfortunately, no news about was the outcome. You pick up your phone to call your friend.
“Dude! What happened at the race?!”
“What do you mean? Didn’t you watch it?”
“Umm…. No. I had sex with Dahyun. But what happened?”
“What the hell, bro. Lucky!”
“But what do you mean lucky? Wasn’t it a good race?”
“I wish I was you. We waited 3 hours for nothing. They just did a couple of laps behind a safety car to classify the race. Half-points. Verstappen won, George second, lulu third.”
“Hmmm,” a voice behind you says
You hang up on the phone and look at the bedroom, Dahyun still naked, leaning and waiting at the door.
“Want another one?”

a/n: i hope you enjoy :)) more fluff! also, REBLOG! if you enjoyed this, reblogging it helps other people see it !
You’re running late, terribly late, and it’s raining.
You knew that biking was a bad idea. While it’s only September, rainy season has come early. Normally, you like the rain. There’s something tranquil about sitting inside while it trickles down the windows, the chill of the air reminding you to take it easy. This is different, though. The wind is biting and cold, and the sky is darkened by the thick layer of clouds overhead. It feels like you haven’t seen the sun in years, despite the memory of a crisp, balmy summer fresh in your mind. You blink against the downpour, trying to avoid being hit by a car on your commute to work. Knowing your boss, worker’s comp won’t exactly cover your medical expenses. Luckily, it’s  barely five in the morning, and there are as few cars on the streets of Quantico as there are bikes, meaning none. As your tires squeal against the wet pavement, you’re distinctly aware of the fact that you should really just suck it up and buy a car. 
You started picking up morning shifts three weeks ago, after Sandy had her baby and told you she couldn’t come in early anymore. They aren’t that bad; despite how busy it gets, you know how to handle a rush. Your good regulars make it worth it, with kind smiles and polite tips. In their absence, you rely on a heard-earned tolerance to men yelling at you for making their coffee wrong. Between your afternoon classes and your new schedule, it works.
There’s a little magic, in the mornings. You enjoy the brief moments of solitude you manage to coax out of sunrise, before customers come in and ask for complicated cappuccinos and pastries that are out of stock. But this morning is totally void of the small happinesses you seek, and disappointment is already sour on your tongue. 
By the time you round the final corner and spot the storefront, there's already a customer waiting outside. Fuck. You hop off your bike a few feet away and unclip your helmet, trying not to appear too flustered as you fish your keys out of your pocket.
“Sorry about the wait,” You call out, walking your bike towards the storefront and pressing your phone into your side. The man straightens, spooked by your presence, and it’s only when he looks up from his watch that you realize who it is.
Your favorite regular.
You try really, really hard not to play favorites. You’re terrible at remembering names, and the whole pseudo-relationship between barista and coffee drinker is a notoriously confusing one. Typically, you offer most of your customers an obligatory smile, and you remember their orders. A mom in a green SUV comes in every Thursday to order an iced chai latte, and she’ll gush to you about her daughter’s soccer games. There’s a prosecutor at the courthouse down the road who tips you double if you remember to sprinkle cinnamon on his coffee without being asked; when you told him you’re in law school, he winked and told you that you'd make a great lawyer.  A gaggle of teenage boys come in on Friday afternoons and order the caffeinated equivalent of milkshakes, and you watch them resist the urge to order coffee cake along with it. Occasionally, you’ll silently use your employee discount. Your boss doesn’t catch on, and in your quest to quit caffeine you don’t use the coupon much anyways. In your own way, you know them, and they know nothing about you.
But how can’t you play favorites? His name is Spencer, and he’s a cop, albeit the strangest cop you know. The gun on his belt, which thoroughly frightened you the first time you noticed it, sticks out like a sore thumb against his usual sweet, timid demeanor. He orders the same thing every time—one cream, two sugars—but you can never predict when he's going to come in, or how long he'll stay. He usually brings a book or three and perches at the bar, reading them quickly and offering you a genuine goodbye when he leaves. Every one of your coworkers has a crush on him, for obviously nerdy reasons, and you refuse to blame them for this. You’re usually not the one to pour his coffee, but you notice when he’s there and mourn when he’s not. He’s incessantly likable, and you desperately want to know him. 
Now, looking at him, he's taller up close. His hair, which is either slicked back intentionally or with the dampness of rain, is tucked behind glasses. You stammer, cheeks flushing with heat as you realize you’ve been staring. 
“Oh. Hey, Spencer. My bad.” 
"No worries. I’m pretty early.” He says, sneaking another glance at his watch. It’s on the inside of his wrist, and you suppress a smile as you push the door open, gesturing to let him know he can follow you inside. The sound of water dripping on the tile floor is a sad refrain, but you don't mind hearing it as he watches you hang up your raincoat.
“How long have you been waiting? I’m the one who's late." 
He's seated at the bar, now, and seems preoccupied with drying off the messenger bag he carries with him everywhere. You’re tying your apron at your waist, ignoring the reality that the coffee is nowhere near ready, when he meets your eye.
“Six hundred sixty seven seconds, and counting. But it’s no trouble, really. I like the rain.” The frown on his face as he rakes his fingers through his mussed hair tells another story about his distaste for rain, but you don’t call him on it. Instead of attempting mental long division to figure out how long he was outside, you busy yourself in flicking the coffee machines on, refilling the ice bin, then leaning on the edge of the counter. 
“The usual?”
He nods, a crooked smile playing on his lips, and you start pulling an espresso shot for his drink. It should be peculiar, to be alone with him, but it feels almost natural. He tells you about the origins of concentrated coffee as opposed to diluted mixtures, and his voice carries over the whir of the espresso machine. After stirring in sugar, you watch the creamer bloom across the top of the latte, handing it to him with a smile.
“Thanks.”
He tries it, a familiar grin spreading across his face. You try not to get your hopes up. In the past, he usually opens a book and you resume your tasks. Instead, he meets your eye, an unreadable glimmer in his eye.
“You know, I try to recreate this at home. The coffee. It never comes out right.”
You shrug, wiping at the counter absentmindedly. To be frank, the coffee isn’t that great, and you’re not sure you’re the best barista. Still, you smile.
“It’s just practice. I’m sure if you keep at it you’ll make something you like.”
The bewildered look on his face tells you that he is good at most things on the first try, which on anyone else is aggravating but on Spencer, endearing. You laugh as he sips the drink again, shaking his head.
“It’s just not the same as when you make it. I think I’ll stick with it.”
It’s totally impersonal. It’s just small talk. Yet you cannot quell the spark of excitement and pride in your chest at his compliment. You flush, averting your eyes, but before the silence can linger you pose a question. “How did you know that? About the espresso?” He takes a long pause before he responds, a little sheepish. 
“I read a lot,” He says, and you get the feeling that he is leaving something out. Instead of prying, you rest your elbows on the counter and cradle your head in your hands.
“Like, literature? I was an English major, in school. Do you have a favorite?”
His face lights up, and you make a mental note to somehow, someday see that expression again.
“Yeah, actually. The Sign of Four, by—“
“Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I read it in my sophomore year.” You interject, hoping that your enthusiasm for British crime literature isn’t too contagious, but he doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, he seems to do the opposite of mind—he jumps into a discussion of the book’s themes and characters, and how it’s his favorite of all stories involving Sherlock Holmes.
As he speaks, pausing every few sentences to confirm you’re following, you watch. Even as you poke around the cash register, nodding to let him know you’re listening, you watch through your periphery. His voice feels like something warm, something to cling to, and it wraps around you as you make your way through the morning’s tasks. Miraculously, both you and Spencer remain uninterrupted, the typical morning rush replaced with sweet solitude. It’s a few more minutes before he reaches the end of his train of thought, hands gesticulating wildly and expression bright.
“I mean, between juxtaposition of the obvious portrayal of wealth and opulence and the social commentary on class and imperialism, I think it’s a perfect story. Truly.” He pauses to catch his breath, fiddling with the empty cup in his hands, and reddens.
“Sorry. I got a little carried away.” 
“No, don’t say that. I like listening to you.” 
You mean it. Maybe that’s what scares you—the way the words slip out of your mouth, a quick aside as you count dollar bills. You freeze, trying to keep your cool as you watch him redden. 
You mention your favorite book, and of course he’s read it. It’s easy, this back and forth, and he sprinkles facts and statistics into the conversation like cinnamon, a welcome addition in anything sweet. It’s remarkable, how much he knows, how easily he works abstract conversations into the mundane. It should feel academic, philosophical, and while you’re a fan of both you’ve never been this innately interested in either.
Eventually, the moment has to end. A very frazzled yet relieved woman enters the shop and orders a triple-shot-double-caramel upside down latte, which you resist the urge to tell her doesn’t exist. Spencer carefully extracts a book from his bag, leafing through it ridiculously quickly as more customers trickle in. 
“Thank God you’re here. It’s busy.”
Anthony, your coworker and arguable best friend, emerges from the back room just as the lobby begins to feel like a can of sardines. You’re handing out croissants and americanos as quickly as you can, but the laundry list of orders shortens only marginally. When you look back towards the seat at the bar, your heart falls. He’s gone, but he’s left a book behind. 
Later, when things have calmed down and you have a spare moment, you take the book into your hands. It’s bruised, battered beyond belief, and you catch a glimpse of annotations inside. It’s a copy of The Hounds of Baskervilles. You grin into the empty lounge, a slight pep in your step as you return to the register.
Spencer Reid is many things, but he is not often late.
JJ and Derek notice first, his desk empty and coffee mug untouched even as the minutes tick past nine o’clock. Sure, maybe the metro was delayed, or his car wouldn’t start. There are hundreds of plausible explanations for his absence, and JJ desperately wants to believe them over the more grisly reasons for his absence.
“Where’s Reid?”
Hotch emerges from his office around nine thirty, case file in hand and appearing only slightly perturbed. JJ shrugs, trying to dilute the panic in her chest as the group grows more and more tense.
“Is he okay?”
“I should call him.”
Derek and JJ speak at the same time, their voices overlapping as they both reach for their phones. JJ dials him quickly, and Morgan crosses his arms over his chest. This is very strange; very out of character, and at worst very concerning.
“Voicemail.” It’s remarkable. A team with every crime statistic at their fingertips ignores the odds in favor of a quickly advancing panic. 
“He could just be—“
Emily seems calm, offering a suggestion from her desk. Derek shoots her a look—in other circumstances she’d object, but she falls silent in favor of joining the group in silently worrying, trying to avert their eyes from the bullpen’s entrance.
The elevator dings, and each head turns as if it’s on a synchronized swivel.
Spencer’s inside, looking a little drenched in rain but wearing a shit-eating grin like a badge of honor. He stumbles towards his desk, his face falling once he spots Derek’s expression. 
“Where have you been?” JJ is the first to ask, lightly punching him in the arm. He rubs the spot absently as he sets his satchel down, smoothing his sweater as the grin from before returns.
“Getting coffee.”
