Finally, some peace and quiet after such a chaotic day! You practically leap out of your RAD uniform and into some pajamas as the night begins to fall, crashing face first onto your plush bed. It’s warm, with the fuzzy comforter the twins gifted you, and soft, with the various stuffed creatures given to you by the brothers and angels alike. You snuggle in further, allowing the dark tendrils of sleep creep in, beginning to drift off after such a long-
*thunk*
After such a long, agonizing da-
*thunk*
A-After such a long, agoni-
*thunk*
Ignore it and it will go away-
*thunk*
Nope, you’re not moving from this spo-
*thunk*
Ugh.
You knew you shouldn’t have shown him that cheesy romcom from your home realm.
Sighing, you stand up slowly, wiping the sleep from your eyes and making your way over to the room’s large ornate window. Honestly, you should have known he was up to something when he wasn’t attached to your hip on the way home.
Pulling back the curtains, you see Mammon, small stone in hand winding up to take another pot shot at your window. Upon realizing you’ve finally stirred, his face elates, letting the rock in his hand fall to the ground as his eyes shine with anticipation. He’s almost like a puppy, excited to grab your attention.
You pick up the large golden hook from its resting place and lift up, allowing the window panes to be pushed open and outwardly towards the source of your annoyance.
“Yo!”, he smiles widely, self assured that his plan was working.
“What are you doing?”, you question back, wanting to get to the point of this charade and get back to your pillowy slumber.
“What’s it look like I’m doin’! I’m bein’ romantic!”
You snort at his comment. Seems like he’s not gonna beat around the bush this time.
“Uh huh, so you decided to throw rocks at my window…for romance?”
“Nah, that part ‘s just to get yer attention! Now c’mon, we’re sneakin out!”
You give him a quick once over then look back down to yourself, already in your night clothes and ready to pass, quiet frankly, the fuck out.
“You expect me to sneak out looking like this?”
“Course not! But how was I supposed to know you were goin’ to bed already like some loser!”
You feign a hurt expression, bringing a hand up to your chest, “So you’re trying to convince me to sneak out with you by calling me a loser? Well, so much for romance!”, you say, turning up your nose and beginning to close the window back.
“Oi! Hey! No! Don’t ya dare close that window on me!”
“Oh yeah? Or what? You gonna come throw rocks at my door instead? Prrrretty sure Lucifer would loooove that!”
“Argh- Alright! I’m sorry for callin ya a loser, ‘kay? Now would ya please get ready to go? Car’s runnin’ an’ our reservation’s at si-”
He seems to kick himself mentally for letting that last part slip.
“Oh? Reservations you say? Maybe you do know how to be romantic after all~”, you tease as his face gradually turns redder.
“That part…was ‘ppose to be a surprise”, he sighs, cursing himself under his breathe.
You giggle at his flustered state. He could be so cute without realizing it, and the fact that he had put so much effort into this surprise had your heart reeling enough to shake off the rest of your drowsiness.
“Alright, I’m coming. Just, gimme a few minutes to get changed?”, you smile softly at his nervous mannerisms as he runs his hand through his hair for the umpteenth time.
“Make it quick, or I’m leavin’ without ya!”, he bites back with a smirk, confidence seeming to return to him.
You can’t hold back the laugh that comes out at that statement. “Oh please, we both know you wouldn’t dare.”
“An’ we both know you wouldn’t have any fun without me!”
You give a lighthearted scoff and turn back to shut the window.
“O-Oi, what’d ya doin?”, he questions, worry beginning to settle on his face.
“Well you can’t watch me get changed pervert!”, you laugh as the comment makes his stuttering worse.
He quickly glances away from you, finding himself unable to maintain eye contact any longer.
“M-meet me round back in five, got it?!”, he calls out to you before sprinting out of view, presumably to where he’d backed his car out to. “Ya damn nuisance!”
Time spent with Mammon may not be the most relaxing, usually involving you running from Lucifer, or Casino security, or both, but you wouldn’t trade it for the world.

I am once again going to queer analyze the fuck out of Ted Lasso, specifically the scene with Trent and Ted in the hallway at the end of Season 3, Episode 7.
Trent swoops in as the door is closing behind Ted, calls out, “TED!”, and then he runs towards Ted, who is walking away from him. Ted turns, bewildered, because here is Trent -- cool, calm, awkward Trent -- completely out of his shell like never before. There’s a spark to Trent. He’s excited, he’s rambling, he’s so close to Ted. He’s vulnerable, too, because he is laying everything he’s thinking and feeling out in the open. (“It’s going to work!” “And I’ll tell you why -- The Lasso Way!” “You haven’t switched tactics in a week!”)
Chemistry goes both ways. It’s a feedback loop, in a sense, because Ted is taking in what Trent is giving. He turns fully to face Trent, even turning when Trent leaves; actively engages by asking questions (“Great! What is?” “Why?” “I haven’t?”); and the more this interaction goes on, the more Ted’s face goes from bewildered to fond. Is he humoring Trent by letting him ramble? Yeah, he is, because he finds it endearing.
The way it’s shot plays a massive role, too. We the audience know that Roy and Beard are there all along. However, we temporarily forget their presence because the camera is equally close on both Trent and Ted. And the intensity of Trent’s rambling distracts us. It’s not until their little conversation is over that the angle is zoomed out and we’re reminded they aren’t alone. It’s intentionally done like that as an insight onto how Ted feels. He’s tuned in on what Trent has to say, and everything else falls away to the background.
In a heavy rom-com episode, this is the love interest’s confesional to the main character.
Trent was sparking. So much so I’ve seen people say they expected the two to kiss. And that thought doesn’t just pop up out of nowhere. You don’t arrive to that conclusion baseless. Which means:
1) The simmering three-season-long groundwork put into their relationship is rock solid.
2) The romcom beats -- which have gotten more frequent -- are subconciously hitting the audience and therefore priming us to expect a follow through (re: a kiss)
3) Characters do not get that close unless it’s to kiss, fight, or scheme. Clearly they aren’t fighting or scheming, so what other expectation is there?
Now hold onto your hat, cowboy. This is where it gets fun.
This hallway scene is a direct parallel to Rebecca and Ted in the West Ham hallway. It’s at an away game; Rebecca and Trent are both potential love interests with an air of manic energy; and, again, it takes place in a hallway with the team in the locker room.
Only this time, with Trent, everything is subverted.
Ted walks to Rebecca vs Trent runs to Ted.
Rebecca touches Ted vs Trent doesn’t physically engage.
Ted being uncomfortable the entire interaction vs Ted leaning into the interaction.
Beard and Roy not being present vs Beard and Roy being there.
This subversion also applies to where Rebecca and Trent’s respective manic energy stem from. Their energy levels are foils of one another.
Rebecca’s stems from negative external factors outside of Richmond (re: Rupert) and the fact the team is losing the match/things are not working.
Trent’s stems from positive internal factors within Richmond (re: belief in The Lasso Way) and the fact things are going to work despite the team losing the match.
Let’s get queer up in here and extrapolate those subversions to sexuality:
Ted slowly approaches heterosexuality (Rebecca), alone (without community) and is uncomfortable by the external pressures placed upon him, the way heterosexuality imposes its touch on him. He visibly looks/feels worse after the interaction.
vs
Queerness (Trent) running up behind Ted with a warning shout (hitting Ted when he doesn’t expect it) and while Ted is surrounded by others (with community). And at first Ted is confused by it, but as soon as he hears it out, gives it a chance, he grows fond of what it has to say. It does not impose its touch on him, and the pressure is an excited internal one. Ted visibly looks/feels better after the interaction.
In Trent’s words, it’s going to work.
#anyways!! going to stop it there because holy shit i can talk about this entire episode#ted lasso#ted lasso spoilers#trent crimm#tedtrent#tedependent#ted lasso meta

i was wondering what writers you would recommend that have a similar style (romance and comedy) to you since i'm new on tumblr :'P
omg wait this is sort of sweet 😭 i dont really know what my 'style' exactly is, BUT i have been waiting for this exact moment!!!! (ranting about my favorite writers my favorite beings in the world and fangirling bcs that is clearly in my nature)
OKAY OKAY LETS DO THIS!!!

My little review of “Elemental” (spoilers!)
Imma be honest my expectations weren’t insanely high. I wasn’t expecting it to be fantastic but I didn’t think it would be bad (Pixar movies almost never are) so I just went in neutral. I saw it with my friends and before we went in they kept bashing it solely bc of how bad the promos are—and honestly they’re right. The marketing for this movie sucks. Do not let any of it fool you, please watch this film. I guarantee you will end up enjoying it.
Now I know everyone was making fun of the character designs since the first teaser was released. I’ll admit some of the background characters are a little lazy and while the designs could’ve been better, the animation made up for it because holy shit is it beautiful. The visuals are absolutely stunning, and I just love the way the characters move and interact with each other and their environment. I can’t imagine how tough it was to animate all of that, especially when your main protagonist is made of fire and therefore is always moving in some way.
I won’t go too much into the whole interracial relationship/struggles of multicultural families aspect because I feel like other people reviewing this movie can explain it so much better than me, but I gotta say really appreciate the fact Elemental had a romance plot but still focuses on the values and importance of family, especially because in most kids films they choose to solely focus on one or the other. I’m glad media is showcasing familial love but not completely abandoning romantic love either.
I’ve seen a lot of people try and compare this to Zootopia, I guess cuz it takes place in a metropolis city and features a mixed ‘race’ main duo and racism/oppression allegories. Honestly tho a lot of movies do this, it’s not a “rip off” of Zootopia cuz it takes place in a city. In Zootopia the city is a prime focus, it’s almost like it’s own character. The whole point is that it’s a place special to mammals because it’s where dreams can come true, where all animals live in harmony together. It’s a dream home for its main character who has to come to terms with the fact it’s not a perfect place. Elemental isn’t as focused on its location and that’s ok. It’s a sanctuary for Ember’s parents when they first arrive, but overall the story isn’t about the city.
Ok now I’ll get to the part you’re here for; Ember and Wade’s story. Wholehearted truth; I love their dynamic and development so much. I definitely felt like they needed more screentime at first (to me the pacing in general was a little rushed in the beginning, then slowed down towards the middle). Call me a hopeless romantic but I’m just sucker for that forbidden love type shit. I’ve seen people try and call this a Romeo and Juliet romcom but I didn’t personally get that from them. I can see why some might interpret it that way cuz they were hiding it from Ember’s dad, Bernie. But really, I wish we’d stop comparing every forbidden relationship to Romeo & Juliet cuz A. that play is so fucked up and is barely a love story and B. there are a million tales of forbidden love out there, it’s intriguing. It sells well for a reason and if you do it right it makes an amazing story!
Anyway, I really adore their dynamic. It’s so refreshing to see a non-married couple say “I love you” in a Disney movie. It’s a simple yet deep, beautiful expression of one’s feelings, I was not expecting them to go that route but I’m so happy they did. I’m even more happy they kissed (I was trying so hard not to squeal at that part, you don’t even know)
I’ll be going on and on about how cute Ember and Wade are on this blog. I’m super excited to add them to the Pixar AU, can’t WAIT to write all kinds of one shots about them tehe.
Sorry if you were expecting a more deep and profound review, I’m just here expressing my thoughts five hours after leaving the theater. I plan on going to see it again sometime so maybe I’ll have more to say after that.
Overall I definitely recommend giving this one a chance. Don’t listen to critics or dumbasses on tik tok, go see it! For me this movie already has a special place in my heart and I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I did!

Best fairy tale esque Asian drama
Beauty and beast type
Little mermaid type
Aladdin type
Cindy type
Etc
oh interesting! here's what comes to mind
for a beauty and the beast parallel, i think my favorites are:
hotel del luna. gender-swapped version! the female lead is a hedonistic immortal being cursed to run a hotel for ghosts due to her Traumatic Backstory. the male lead is a recent harvard graduate who was born for middle management and is in way, way over his head as he tries to teach her how to balance a checkbook
love between fairy and devil. the female lead is a little naive, very sheltered young flower immortal who accidentally unleashes the devil from a mystical space magic prison. so gorgeous and unexpectedly wonderful
for little mermaid:
my girlfriend is a gumiho draws direct comparisons to this story throughout its plot! it's a romcom/action/lite horror show about a gumiho (fox demon) who ends up transferring her power to a guy who wants to become a stuntman/action movie star. very cute and aggressively 2010 teen movie
i havent seen it yet, but legend of the blue sea is about mermaids and based off of a korean fairytale
for cinderella/rags-to-riches
okay it's not super cinderella-y on the surface, but princess agents has this vibe in a way? but instead of A Fancy Party the heroine instead was given An Awesome Sword, Spy Training, and Several Noblemen with Complexes
continuing to be super liberal with this interpretation, empress ki has the female lead go from smuggler to slave to concubine to empress. work.
shopping king louie is sort of this fairytale in reverse: the rich male lead loses his memories and ends up relying on a poor country girl. very fluffy and cute
100 days my prince is like a joseon version of shopping king louie, but at times darker with the subplots
i think a good chunk of 2000-2010ish kdramas basically lived on this trope
for aladdin i couldnt think of anything direct, so here's sort of a broader "making wishes/deals with immortal powerful fantasy beings":
mystic pop-up bar is about a cursed immortal female lead who runs a pop-up bar and is trying to resolve human being's grudges/grant their wishes by teaming up with a former ghost cop and a regular guy (or is he?) that has a special power of his own
goblin is about a girl who finds out she was destined to be the "goblin's bride" and bring about the death of an immortal cursed general who has been looking for a way to die for several centuries at this point. some wishes/genie-esque dynamics
angel's last mission: love. female lead is a cold, bitter former ballerina who has closed herself off from the world. male lead is her actual guardian angel. not one of my absolute favorites, but i liked the interesting dynamic and the OST is beyond gorgeouuuus
i did not like this drama that much but doom at your service might scratch this itch as well. the female lead is dying from cancer. the male lead is the actual manifestation of doom. would have been SO GOOD if it cut out the subplot and streamlined things a bit more
and these aren't really related to fairytales, but they have a similar vibe:
love and redemption. girl meets boy. boy is in a martial arts sect forbidden to love or marry. girl doesn't understand feelings and is in fact the reincarnated god of war. girl has also sort of killed boy for 9 lifetimes prior to this. boy keeps coming back for more because he thrives on masochism and costume changes. one of my top 3 favorite dramas
goodbye my princess is like someone had all the fairy tale tropes (rebellious princess, meeting while disguised, magical rivers) and then sort of took them in the backyard and shot them. lmao if you want it tragic, go here
craving more dysfunction junction? check out the wolf which starts with some sweet disney tarzan plot and escalates into fucking chaos
river where the moon rises is based on a piece of korean folklore. this one i wanted to like so much (and was enjoying for the first half), but the real-life drama lead to some unfortunate story complications (the show notoriously swapped out its male lead actor midway through airing)
alice in borderland draws a lot of parallels to alice in wonderland. it's survival horror so LMAO not the same vibe as the original story at all, but i figured i'd throw it in here. i have some mixed feelings about the drama, but i definitely binged it all

movie review - a perfect pairing
will try not to spoil anything btw!
from the title itself, you just know its one of those hallmark type of romcom movies and tbh i havent watched one of those in a really long time thats why i gave this a shot + victoria justice was the star and i havent seen any of her new stuff in ages so it was all about watching something new after a long time
super cute plot and character stories - thats one of the things i really enjoy about these types of romcoms is that they can literally make a love story about anything
when it comes to thinking it was cringey, there was just like one teeny tiny part in the movie where i scrunched up my nose with how cliche it was but nothing too bad
the "plot/s" were surprisingly well-put in the whole timeline! like it wasnt rushed into the story but it wasnt also left too late near the ending that much
can i just fucking say - adam demos is just so so so so FINE; i loved him in falling inn love and i like how his character there has the same personality in a perfect pairing so it just means that im pretty sure he's just being himself most of the time in these types of movies
super duper feel good movie and i would definitely watch it again; this is definitely going on my list of comfort movies
and last but not the least, and in my opinion, is the best thing about this movie: the soundtrack; it was perfect! it fit every possible scene, the songs melded into the sceneries, and the fact that they used one of my favorite songs as the main song for the movie just made me feel so ecstatic and i literally cant stop smiling

Kimagure Orange Road ( A FULL BLOWN REVIEW because Final Thoughts are not enough to explain).
Welcome back....
Before I start this special review, something must be addressed. Last month, there was suppose to be a final thoughts post pertaining to Tropical Rouge! Precure. However, for personal reasons, the draft evidently had to be scrapped and will be reworked into a special post about the future of Precure; since my feelings about the past two seasons are being affected due to the pandemic.
With that out of the way, let's start this massive unpacking....of a review.
Exactly what is Kimagure Orange Road? What about it made this series so influential in the coming decades in popular media (including anime)? At first glance and in face value, my initial thought was this would be another 80s anime with a shallow plot and share a similar vibe as to something like Ranma.
Sadly, I was dead wrong, by the middle of the season.
Let's back up for a moment, and look at the origin of this anime.
Kimagure Orange Road originally started as a manga series created by Izumi Matsumoto, and was serialized through Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1984-1987. A pilot was filmed in 1985, which prompted a series two years later. The anime series ran from 1987-1988 with 48 episodes. An OVA series consisting of eight episodes was produced in 1989, with two films being released in 1988 and 1996, respectively. With the impact it has left during its runtime, what made Kimagure Orange Road so darn beloved to begin with anyway?
SYPNOSIS
The story consists of 15-year-old Kyosuke Kasuga, a teenage male with a secret: he and his family have paranormal abilities. Therefore, they have had no choice but to move from one city to another to avoid the same outcome over and over again. However, things would be different when Kyosuke encounters Madoka Ayukawa, a tomboy delinquent who can be a bit bitchy at times but otherwise, can show friendliness. On the other hand, there is Hikaru Hiyama, another delinquent who is childhood friends with Madoka and develops a crush on Kyosuke and assumes he feels the same (no he doesn't...not even close...why the fuck would she think this way wtf). Thus, a love triangle develops and a long summer of complications, drama, and hilarity is about to begin.
You'd think this would be another one of those romcom anime with one-dimensional personalities for supporting and background characters, right? ACTUALLY, YES AND NO. MAINLY NO THOUGH.
While the plot, at first, felt like something I could have seen out of another romcom, there are just way too many things going on to focus on the romance aspect when necessary. In fact, each episode has a “plot B” element going on that forces you to pay attention and literally watch EVERY, SINGLE, GODFORSAKEN episode from beginning to end or else, you miss something important; albeit either character development or shift in direction. For once, I kept getting hooked, wondering what was going to happen.
Oh, did I mention, the COUNTLESS TIMES THE WRITER KEPT TEASING WITH THE POSSIBLE IMPLIED INNUENDO OR SMUT????
(Given the standards back in the 80s, the anime industry really let themselves go so far before hitting the hentai/ecchi level of HOLY SHIT. Although, this might have been the start of the era where women or female characters being “damsels in distress” was outdated as hell. Hell, a LOT of heavy topics are shown throughout these 48 episodes that may have been a kickstart to a new generation of social exploitation.)
Needless to say, there was never a dull moment.
CHARACTERS
In order to properly explain my thoughts on the cast, I have to break it down into three different groups: the main characters, supporting, and background and/or one-shots.
Main characters in a nutshell
Kyosuke Kasuga is the older brother of the three siblings who has the ability to teleport and foreshadow (although it usually is raunchier than what it turns out to be, because teenage boys in puberty are always gonna have their “moments”; very natural to the human body). He does gain a couple new powers during the series, but I won't say this here. He is well-mannered, but indecisive when it comes to his two-timing situation.
Kurumi Kasuga, one of his two sisters; able to use telekinesis; energetic, can be emotional and defensive around other boys or men (especially Hatta and Komatsu); kicks ass without touching.
Manami Kasuga, the other sister (my favorite main); also uses telekinesis, but doesn't get along well with her sister; more reserved, and home-bound.
Jingoro: BEST CAT; doesn't do much except be a mascot, but he's freaking cute and adorable. Sometimes, he is abused by Kurumi (so help me God let me punch her). BEST CAT CHARACTER in my opinion...I demand a Jingoro plushie.
Takashi Kasuga is surprisingly the only one in the family that has no esper powers whatsoever. He does photography. He's just there.
Madoka Ayukawa: main female protagonist; best friends with Hikaru Hiyama, top student but also a lonewolf who has smoked and been involved with gang wars; obviously capricious (lol this is what they meant by Kimagure??) I do adore her. (Wait until I talk about the seiyuus).
Hikaru Hiyama: sweet, bubbly, obsessed with Kyosuke, can be a bigger bitch than Madoka, (Personally, I could not stand her for most of the series, until the end of the 1988 movie (and the sequel movie from '95)).
The main characters were an enjoyable bunch with great dynamic., espiecially the “love triangle dynamic”, which had me engaged in how this was gonna turn out. The supporting characters, like Hatta and Komatsu, were decent, although not a lot of layered dimensions in terms of traits or behavior except for “being mainly horny at the sight of girls” and “begging for love”. Yuusaku had more character development throughout the season than those two ever did receive; although Hatta could have had a little more.
As for minor characters, like Akane and Kazuya (Kyosuke's relatives), their involvement was short but memorable. (Speaking of Akane....*thinking the wrong thing right now when she should be focusing*).
Overall, the writers really took the time to make these characters seem believable and relatable.
Story Elements
Before I drop into my favorite portion of this review, I want to quickly explain a recurring plot point that ended up making this series influential. Prior to its premiere, sources claim no other film, animated series, or any other property at that time used this particular trope, as coined by TVTropes: Temporal Paradox or Bootstrap Paradox. (Of course, time travel tropes have been around longer than that.)
However, KimaOran implicated a time loop effect in their Christmas episode, which left Kyosuke repeating the same damn day...which inspired future films, tv shows, and anime to pull this stunt. (No, the Endless Eight arc in Haruhi Suzumiya kinda took that trope a bit too far where there was a literal added catch in order to actually get out of it; one that might gave stemmed from Groundhog Day).
Hell, people are telling me Groundhog Day is the perfect example of being inspired by this trope KimaOran started, although the concept originated from Urusei Yatsura, which predated the series by three years. Nevertheless, this plot device was done seamlessly with a dash of mystery left to be resolved.
(Not to mention, the tsundere trope was also used here in Madoka's personality; not the first to adopt this behavior but the same trope would eventually blow up in the 00s and up to present day).
MUSIC
Now, to my favorite portion of this review: the music. As someone who is trying to expand into older anime titles and the genre of city pop, this series had some memorable tunes. I'M DEAD SERIOUS.
Let's start with the OPs.
Night of Summer Side – catchy song; uses animation from the show itself with some original content; love the use of cut transitions, although it may have been a bit too fast for my liking. Still, solid opening for its first arc.
Orange Mystery – better animation; use of filters and color splash in some places, also inspired by the Take On Me MV (you know the one) with the sketch-like pencil style; not a bad song, but it's okay.
Actress in the Mirror – best of the three; stellar animation, has a continuous, fluid feel that transitions very well, and also ends how it began and I cannot get over the song. The drum beat was killer; and I just LOVE every moment of that OP.
Choose Me – From the OVAs, this was decent, although I was meh on the song itself.
Endings
悲しいハートは燃えている (Sad Heart Burning) – The best of the EDs ; no questions asked. The animation reminds me of an old PBS bumper from the 90s that involved a crow trying to retrieve water out of a bottle by shoving pebbles into it. The song, which is sung by Kanako Wada, is, in my opinion, her best track. There is so much more emotion complimenting the sequence and the arrangement is immaculate. (Highly recommended).
ダンス・イン・ザ・メモリーズ (Dance in the Memories) – This ending has a simple sequence, but the song itself has a mall rat music vibe. It sounds a bit goofy, but also appropriate for the time.
ときどきBlue (Tokidoki Blue) – one of two OVA endings; it's nice in appearance, but on par for an average tune
もうひとつのイエスタデイ (One More Yesterday) – Slightly better in animation and music...nothing special though.
あの空を抱きしめて (Embrace That Sky) – literal tearjerker, fits the end of the main series almost perfectly, but not as great as her second ED track.
Day Dream ~I'm at Your Side – I have no idea why the fuck this is considered city pop, when by 1995, the genre was basically dead to the sounds of bubble gum / teen pop and europop. This sounds more teen pop than anything. It's okay at best.
Most of the music used in the show were done by Kanako Wada, whom has her own distinct and memorable vocals. The OST is remarkably worth a listen. I cannot say or praise their music any more than that.
In conclusion, Kimagure Orange Road showed more than enough evidence to leave a lasting, enjoyable experience for me, as a viewer. Such a simple story about a love triangle expanded into this huge, complex concept involving time loops, drama, comedy, more time paradoxes, and social commentary; going as far as including such adult topics, like drugs, sex, alcohol, and the like. Nothing more can be said other than this:
Kimagure Orange Road, if it had to be placed anywhere in my tier, it is definitely worthy of an S-rank (perhaps 9 and ¾ mikans out of 10). As I said before, there was never a dull moment in this show. If you are interested in exploring 80s anime or even romance shonens, please give this a shot.
As for my opinion on if this series deserves a reboot: NO. The content in this title is a product of its time; a lot has changed since the 80s, and to just bring the original material back and adapt it from the manga could be risky. Not to mention, this may never happen, since the original mangaka, Izumi Matsumoto, passed away in 2020. Whomever holds the rights nowadays...is unknown to me; I can see a sequel series happening, but that's up to them. Personally, I see no reason to reboot this.
With that, I want to thank everyone for reading my thoughts on this rare gem of an animated series. Next month, there will be no scheduled anime watches due to personal reasons. I have to prepare the last of the watches for this year, and also start next year's WHEEL of WATCHES (more info in November). Until next time, here's hoping senpai notices you!
(I feel like I forgot something important...)
#2022 anime watch#first review in a long time#kimagure orange road#forgive me if something seems inaccurate#I swear I've put enough research into this.

Film Friday: Hush (2016)
I'm on a bit of a thriller track after talking about Red Eye last week. Today I want to talk about another movie where a woman deals with a threatening man, and things are decidedly less romcom initially, aiming for more of a "this madman is hunting people for sport" kind of vibe. There is something to be said for drilling down to the core of things.
Maddie is an author and, like many of us, she's a bit of a recluse. Granted, not all of us take it to the level where they live alone in the woods, but I'm sure more would if presented with the opportunity. Further adding to her isolation is the fact that Maddie is deaf-mute after a childhood illness. Nevertheless, Maddie's days of not quite being able to make herself write and battling imposter syndrome get disrupted when one of her few friends in the area is brutally murdered by a masked assailant who, upon realizing that Maddie is deaf, decides to really fuck with her.
What follows is an almost uncomfortably tense game of cat and mouse. The assailant, so mysterious his role's credited as "The Man," clearly enjoys the power Maddie's deafness affords him, and so instead of sneaking up to her and killing her right away, steals her phone and starts terrorizing her by sending her pictures from the thing. In an early confrontation, he even unmasks in front of Maddie to make it crystal clear that he does not intend for her to make it through the night.
This isn't to say Maddie is taking this all lying down, far from it. After an early encounter puts her in a position where her two choices are 1: killing this guy or 2. dying out here, she does gun for the stronger, faster, decidedly more bloodthirsty man with what little she has. It's one of those desperate struggles that even when Maddie pulls a Wait Until Dark (1967) with her visual fire alarm is settled more by a lucky shot than any innate ability.
It's a nasty, brutish kind of story, but I honestly feel better about the brutishness than say The Strangers, who pits preternaturally sneaky and scheming killers against regular fallible humans. The Man is not the kind of man you want to be pitted against, but he's strong and capable in the way a regular human might be, and he bleeds like the rest of us. It makes for a high-tension sort of chase that maintains the energy despite a relatively low bodycount for a slasher.
Hush is a product of mid-budget horror master Mike Flannagan and his wife and co-writer Kate Siegel, who also plays the main character. I would have preferred to see the main role be played by a deaf actress. Not because Siegel does a bad job or anything, she's quite excellent and expressive and does a lot to communicate the character and the horrors that she faces. It'd just be a really cool role for a deaf actress, like how Millicent Simmonds really elevated A Quiet Place to something quite special.
The movie is decidedly less of a heady experience than many others I favor, but this isn't a strike against it in my book. Hush finds its home in the limbic system. It's not what it's about or how it is about it, it's about how there's a guy out there and he can see you but you can't see him and he's going to GET you. It's a primal fear, prey fear, more concerned with its emotional impact than what it's saying.
This isn't to say it has nothing in that regard, paralleling Maddie's ability to plan for her survival with her ability to work out and visualize a plot. Like many writers before her, she's struggling with the impossibility of getting her plot started, and she similarly struggles with engaging with the main challenges to survival until something in her figures out that there's no other choice than to Do It Scared or face death with a whimper. This feels very correct as far as writing processes go, although the stakes generally aren't quite as high as death.
It feels wrong to call a movie as brutal as Hush fun, but certainly is captivating. It does terrible things to the protagonist, but more for catharsis than for fun, and once in a while I believe it's healthy for the soul to have a movie kick the shit out of you.

"well of course it used to belong to me" I'm actually dying i cant

finally bro's catching on to the bs he's spouting
"i know who i am! im the type of guy who kisses women randomly!"
"doct-eah" they're so married
THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS "hes planning to take my body so that he will live and i will die :0 *run*"

i feel like she's faking or smth she looks like an angel w/ that thing and he's coughing
"i would never lie to you i would only protect you" funny how none of that is true even remotely
how the hell do all these characters remember all these super specific spoken instructions during high stakes situations, i can't even remember spoken instructions on a regular day
cant she just pull out one of the huge pole things wouldn't that stop it
he's always so kind even to the ppl who are actively trying to kill him and the entire planet

Johnny Suh Teases Y/N L/N While Eating Spicy Wings
SEAN: Hey, what’s going on everybody? For ‘First We Feast’, I’m Sean Evans, and you’re watching Hot Ones!
the camera angles shifts from sean to a shot of the table. he is sitting across johnny and y/n, who are smiling at each other while sean introduces the video. they quickly break their gaze and look at sean.
SEAN: It’s the show with hot questions, and even hotter wings.
the camera pans directly to johnny and y/n.
Y/N: *whispering, excited* He said the thing, oh my gosh.
SEAN: Today we are joined by Johnny Suh and Y/N L/N!
the video cuts to photos of johnny.
SEAN, VOICEOVER: He rose to fame through his YouTube channel and his acting career took off through a number of indie films. Since then, he has been the face of several Hollywood blockbusters.
the video cuts to photos of y/n.
SEAN, VOICEOVER: She’s an Emmy award winning actress well-known for a number of TV roles—most notably for her starring role in the HBO series, ‘Obsession.’
the video cuts to photos of them both.
SEAN, VOICEOVER: Their latest work is the critically acclaimed film, ‘Day Dream,’ currently in theatres.
the video cuts to the camera pointed at johnny and y/n.
SEAN: Y/N L/N, Johnny Suh, welcome to the show.
Y/N: Thank you for having us.
JOHNNY: Thank you, we’re happy to be here!
the camera shifts to a shot of the table. johnny sits on the outside, but y/n’s chair is pulled very close to his. their arms are practically overlapped.
SEAN: I’m excited, viewers are excited—we’ve had so many requests to have you two on the show.
y/n beams, excitedly gesturing between herself and the table with her hands. johnny stares at her, smiling.
Y/N: It’s literally a dream come true—I love this show, I’ve seen all the episodes—I feel like this is the true mark of success.
JOHNNY: She’s been talking about this nonstop since we found out we’d be on.
y/n swats his arm.
SEAN: It’s okay—we’re all stoked to have you here! But the question is: can you two handle the spice?
JOHNNY: I’m pretty confident about it.
Y/N: That isn’t saying much, you’re confident about everything…
JOHNNY: She actually really loves spicy food. She can handle it.
Y/N: I do love it…but I’m not trying to fuck it up by saying I’m good at managing it, though.
SEAN: Well, I have a feeling you two will do great.
it cuts to the intro—shots of the hot sauce bottles, as well as the logo for the show.
the camera is back on y/n and johnny.
JOHNNY: Ready?
Y/N: Always.
the two tap their wings together, as if clinking glasses, and take bites.
the hot sauce and its spice level is shown.
JOHNNY: Shit, these are really good. Nice flavor.
Y/N: Can I eat the whole thing? I’m hungry.
SEAN: Yeah, of course.
johnny laughs at y/n proceeding to dig into the wing.
SEAN: So, you two are very successful at a young age. Johnny, you’ve been vlogging for years, and Y/N, you got your start with small roles in TV shows, and now have an Emmy. Are you surprised about how quickly you achieved so much in the span of a few years?
johnny nods at y/n, letting her go first, smiling fondly at her and watching. the camera pans to y/n.
Y/N: Y’know… yeah. *laughs* I’d be lying if I said that it wasn’t absolutely insane and overwhelming. I went from a few lines in shows to starting an HBO series? With a fucking Emmy? I never expected to get that role or any of this and I’m still confused about it. Acting… all this, it’s my life. It’s what I’ve wanted since I was a kid, and I’m so, so grateful for how far I’ve come. *laughs* I don’t know how anyone let me get here, though.
JOHNNY: *exasperated* Oh, c’mon, Y/N. You’re a star.
SEAN: It’s definitely well deserved. Johnny?
the camera settles on johnny, who pulls his gaze away from y/n to look at sean. y/n keeps her eyes on johnny, a soft expression on her face.
JOHNNY: I started out just as a kid with a camera. I grew up wanting to act, wanting to sing, and being very into photography and visuals. My channel started out as me just talking or doing stuff with my friends and it grew bigger than I could’ve imagined. I’m beyond lucky for how far I’ve come—and to get to direct and produce a lot of my projects is great.
SEAN: Speaking of, my next question for you is actually about your experience in the production of films. How does directing and producing have an affect on you now as an actor? Even for projects like ‘Day Dream,’ where you aren’t taking a role in production.
johnny runs a hand through his hair, nodding.
JOHNNY: *pauses then laughs* Shit, did I get sauce in my hair? I hope I didn’t.
y/n leans closer to him, and he lowers his head to her level. she runs his fingers through his hair, and shakes her head.
Y/N: Nah, you’re good.
SEAN: Just be careful around the eyes!
Y/N: *fangirling* AH, I knew you were going to say that—fuck, sorry… big fan.
SEAN: *laughing* You’ve seen a bit, then?
Y/N: Totally. Oh, sorry Johnny—interrupted.
JOHNNY: Don’t you always?
johnny laughs, and y/n pouts in response.
JOHNNY: Just messing around, don’t worry. But, yeah, I actually like this question a lot. Honestly, it gives a whole other dimension to the experience. I think that we—as actors—always invest love and care into our work because we want it to be the best it can be. We all come in wanting to do well for not only ourselves but for production. Like, we already know how big of a job it is for them, how hard it is but when you’ve been there, it’s different. You start to look at things you wouldn’t notice before and it’s almost like you’re hyper-aware of many more facets of shooting than you normally would think about—and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
Y/N: *musing* No, it’s not.
JOHNNY: It gives you more drive.
SEAN: Totally. And I’ve seen your work— you’ve pulled off so many different roles, but I think how you executed the filmmaking was even more impressive.
JOHNNY: *grinning* Thanks, man. That means a lot.
the next sauce is shown, as well as it’s scoville level.
the camera cuts back to them, biting into the wings.
Y/N: I don’t taste much of a difference in the sauce…is my palate broken?
JOHNNY: Wouldn’t be surprised… weirdo.
Y/N: Oh, fuck off.
SEAN: It creeps up on you, but then it piles on all at once.
Y/N: Are you even fazed by it anymore, Sean?
SEAN: You’d think I’m more used to the hotter ones, but it still gets me sometimes.
Y/N: It doesn’t show.
johnny looks over at y/n’s wing and scoffs, jokingly.
JOHNNY: Damn, Y/N, at least clean the bone better.
Y/N: *frowning* I don’t wanna mess up my makeup.
SEAN: So, Y/N, this is your first movie. How does the filming differ from TV—is it any harder or easier? Do you have a preference and how have you felt through the process?
Y/N: It’s not that different—for me, anyway, I don’t know what others might say. I was so stoked to get this, especially because the concept for the film is pretty different to most of the romcoms I’ve seen in the past. Not as cheesy—it feels like a real romance. In fact, it felt—well, not easier, because, like, with ‘Obsession’ I’m so comfortable with my role and my cast but it was kind of the same here. Being with Johnny was great because I’ve known him for so long and it felt natural to be working with him.
johnny is, yet again, staring and smiling at her. you can almost see the hearts in his eyes.
SEAN: Johnny, did you feel similarly?
JOHNNY: *snapping out of it to look at sean* Of course. Y/N’s been in my life for what seems like forever and I was even more excited about taking the role when I found out she’d be doing it with me. She said it best—it was natural.
the next sauce is shown.
they all bite into the wings.
SEAN: How we feelin’?
Y/N: This one’s got a ‘lil kick to it, but it’s still pretty mild. I love this flavor.
JOHNNY: Yeah, this one’s my favorite so far, flavor-wise.
SEAN: We have some for you guys to take home, don’t worry.
Y/N: Oh, you’re the best.
SEAN: Kind of going off where we were, the internet is raving about your chemistry.
the two laugh, y/n looking slightly shy.
SEAN: You mentioned it was easy to star together, given your friendship. Was there anything, though, that was particularly hard?
unseen on the camera, johnny rests his hand on y/n’s thigh under the table, in a casual manner. she stiffens slightly, then relaxes as he speaks.
JOHNNY: For this project, I mean, Y/N was perfect. She executed the role of Audrey beautifully and when you have someone who just knows exactly how to play their part, it makes shooting feel more immersive and intimate. She’s just perfect.
Y/N: *beaming* I feel the same about you—you played Chris flawlessly.
johnny thanks her, and rubs circles onto her thigh with his thumb.
Y/N: For my first film, I’m beyond happy I got to do it with him. He’s been in my life for years, like, we met when we were twenty, and I just felt… everything was, like, comfortable, and easy, and safe. Gotta be real, though, the sex scenes were weird.
SEAN: *laughing* Oh?
JOHNNY: *bewildered* Are we going there?
Y/N: *shrugs* I mean… is that okay? Can I not say that?
SEAN: No, you can. We don’t bleep cussing on here, so I think it’s fine.
Y/N: I won’t share all the gory details.
JOHNNY: I don’t mind.
johnny is smirking, and looking intently at y/n. she tries not to falter under his gaze.
Y/N: *laughs* It was just kind of bizarre to see him like that? I mean, it’s my job, it wasn’t a big deal, I kept my professionalism, but was it strange? Absolutely.
y/n laughs nervously.
JOHNNY: I didn’t think it was that weird.
Y/N: *sarcastic* Yeah, okay. For real, though, it was my first sex scene, I was nervous, and he made me feel protected and comfortable… *quietly, cutely* Thank you for that.
JOHNNY: *fondly* You’re welcome. Yeah, I’m messing around, it was a little odd…but my goal was to make her comfortable. Our crew is great, of course, but it’s notoriously harder for women in the industry than it is for men. I care about her, I just want her to be okay.
SEAN: It really is. I’m glad you two were comfortable during all that.
y/n is looking down, biting her lip as she smiles.
the next sauce shows up on screen.
the camera shows the table as they all take a bite.
Y/N: Ooh.
johnny and sean laugh.
SEAN: Is this one harder?
JOHNNY: It’s a bit hotter.
Y/N: Nothing unmanageable, though. It’s kind of… fruity?
SEAN: It has mango in it.
JOHNNY: I think it really adds to it, it’s nice.
SEAN: So, something I wanna ask you two is about music. Johnny, I know you’re a great singer, and have been interested in music for a long time, being in musicals. And Y/N, you’ve contributed songs to the ‘Obsession’ soundtrack— you’re very musically talented as well. Tell me—do either of you have any musical plans for the future? And who has inspired you, musically?
JOHNNY: *laughing* Thanks, man, I appreciate that. Uh, honestly, I grew up listening to such a wide range of music. I definitely have plans to create my own music down the line… but I can’t really say when. I’m focused on acting right now, y’know? But it’ll be sooner than you think. As far as musical influences… God, it’s all over the place.
Y/N: You love Coldplay.
JOHNNY: Yeah, they’re my favorite artist. I like so many genres… *absentminded* Y/N showed me a lot of stuff, too.
y/n grins, patting johnny’s hand.
Y/N: Yeah! We would just share airpods between takes and listen to music… It was nice.
SEAN: I heard you two also fell asleep a lot on set.
they both laugh hard.
Y/N: We did—it was like a running joke. Jaehyun and Yerim—they were also in the film—always took pictures and teased us.
johnny laughs again.
Y/N: Oh! Yeah, to answer your question… to be honest, I was surprised that they asked me to do a song. I knew Kyungsoo would be—I mean, everyone’s heard his voice. He’s a god, he’s good at fuckin’ everything. But I think he, Jongin and Sehun tattled on me to the execs, because they heard me singing in my trailer. I work with such assholes. *laughs* I’m joking… but, yeah! It was pretty cool… I didn’t even know I was capable of sounding that good. I don’t wanna sound like I’m bragging—I was just surprised when I heard the track. And people liked it! I would definitely consider—
johnny is staring intently at y/n, who has sauce on the corner of her mouth. while she’s speaking, he reaches out to grab her chin with one hand and uses the thumb on his other hand to wipe the sauce. sean feels as if he’s interrupting a private moment, and y/n falters, cutting off.
Y/N: *speaking to johnny as if the two are in their own little word* -did I have sauce?
johnny licks the thumb with the sauce on it, casually, nodding.
JOHNNY: Yeah, just a little.
SEAN: *laughing* Do you like this one that much?
JOHNNY: *smiling, speaking lowly* Yeah it has… a nice flavor. *his demeanor changes quickly, smoothly, his tone becoming light-hearted* It’ll probably get worse from here though, right?
y/n is internally malfunctioning, but masks it. it worsens when he places his hand back secretly on her thigh. her heart is hammering in her chest and she resists the urge to aggressively bounce her leg. she’s SO into him, and he’s fueling the flame. unbeknownst to her, he is definitely flirting.
SEAN: Most definitely.
the fifth sauce pops up, as well as the scoville level.
they all take bites, and y/n smiles.
Y/N: Yeahhh, y’know, this one is… hot.
SEAN: Are you doing okay?
Y/N: Oh, hell yeah. It’s good. All of these have such great flavors—I’m excited to take the sauces home.
JOHNNY: I know she’s gonna cook something with it as soon as she gets home.
SEAN: You’ll have to send me what you do. You like to cook?
JOHNNY: *quickly, beating y/n to answering* Dude, she’s an amazing cook.
Y/N: *embarassed* I’m okay… I really love to cook though. *laughing* Wife me up.
johnny smiles slightly at that.
Y/N: One of our friends, he’s a rapper, Mark Lee?
SEAN: Yeah! He’s great, I’ve met him.
JOHNNY: I love that kid.
Y/N: Yeah, I’m pissed at him. He was noticed by Gordon Ramsey.
johnny is cracking up, and sean smiles.
SEAN: I think I heard about that.
Y/N: Yeah, a fan tweeted a picture of Mark’s shitty scrambled eggs at him, saying it was her boyfriend. And he fucking told her to break up with him. *laughing hard* I mean, I’m just jealous, because I love Gordon Ramsey and would love to be noticed by him.
SEAN: Gordon, if you’re watching this, Y/N is dying to meet you.
y/n shakes her head, shy.
JOHNNY: She’s too much of a shy little wimp for that.
Y/N: Is today shit on Y/N day? Goddamn…
SEAN: So, we have a segment on the show we like to call ‘Explain That Gram’. Basically, we just take pictures from your Instagram that need more context.
Y/N: I love this.
a staff member brings a laptop to sean.
SEAN: We’ll start with Johnny?
JOHNNY: Bring it.
the screen shows a photo from johnny’s instagram. y/n and johnny can be heard laughing their asses off at the picture shown.
SEAN, VOICEOVER: So, this is you and Ten Lee, the dancer and model, who you’re close friends with. Can you explain *laughs* what’s going on here?
the screen goes back to the camera pointed at johnny. he’s laughing with his head in his hands and y/n is suppressing her laughter.
JOHNNY: *clearing his throat and composing himself* Yeah, so that’s Ten. *he laughs more*
Y/N: God, I love Ten. I miss him.
JOHNNY: Yeah, he’s great. One of my very best friends. So basically, I was visiting him at his home in Thailand. He was supposed to come to Chicago, actually, but his schedule got packed at the last moment. But I had an idea to take photos in front of a greenscreen, wear ‘I Love Chicago’ shirts, and put images of city landmarks behind us.
Y/N: That doesn’t look like Chicago, John.
JOHNNY: Well, that one’s a wave. That one was just funny.
a photo of from y/n’s instagram is shown on screen. once again, they all burst out laughing.
SEAN, VOICEOVER: Here you are, wearing a dinosaur head. Could you give the context?
the camera is on y/n.
Y/N: *smiling* God, my face hurts… fuck, you know how to pick them, huh?
SEAN: That’s the game!
Y/N: Uh, well, Johnny actually took this photo.
JOHNNY: *grinning* Yup.
Y/N: You see, what happened was… we were in Walmart with our friend Seulgi, and I found a dinosaur head. And because I’m a literal child, I thought it would be hilarious to pretend to be a dinosaur and chase them around. It was an action shot.
another photo pops up on screen, again from y/n’s instagram.
SEAN, VOICEOVER: Here you two are getting on a plane. Can I ask what you’re doing here, Johnny?
the camera pans to johnny, who is grinning.
JOHNNY: We were actually boarding the plane to go visit my parents in Chicago. It was a few days after we wrapped up filming—
Y/N: —I have to interject before he lies about what was really happening. Here is concrete proof that Johnny bullies me. Little shit.
JOHNNY: *staring into the camera* I was not bullying her. She was already making us late, and I was trying to board the plane, not pose for selfies.
Y/N: … Honestly, all I heard was you saying you were bullying me.
SEAN: *laughing* You were running late, Y/N?
JOHNNY: She’s always running late.
Y/N: Well— *hesitates* unfortunately, I can’t dispute that.
both johnny and sean laugh, as does the crew behind the cameras.
JOHNNY: That’s why she has me. I keep her on time.
Y/N: I don’t know why I keep you—pain in my ass. *she smiles, despite herself*
JOHNNY: We keep getting sidetracked. *laughs* But, yeah, we were going to stay with my parents for a week in Chicago. It was really great.
SEAN: You’re from Chicago, originally, right?
JOHNNY: Yup! Born and raised. I spent some summers in Korea, and I’ve always had a connection there—it’s where my parents grew up, it’s where they met, where my family is—but Chicago is always gonna be my true home.
Y/N: Honestly, it’s great there. I always have the time of my life when I visit—especially because Mr. and Mrs. Suh are amazing. I love them to death, and I’m always so grateful for how welcoming and loving they are.
they move on to the sixth sauce.
Y/N: So, this one is making my lips tingle. Not bad, though.
JOHNNY: Ooh, yeah, that’s a little bit hotter. ‘S good.
SEAN: So, let’s talk about ‘Day Dream’. The film, as well as your characters, Audrey and Chris, and their journey through love, mental illness, and success has been captivating audiences worldwide. What drew you two to the film? Did you feel connected to your characters, and were there any parts of the film that were particularly hard to film?
Y/N: You first.
JOHNNY: As soon as my manager explained the premise and Chris’ character, I was hooked. Of course, I didn’t understand the complexity and intensity of our characters yet—but something was instantly so interesting and captivating. *he pauses* Chris was challenging for me—in a good way, of course. We have this guy who has so much going for him—but so much more holding him back. He’s really… going through it. He’s got serious, intense OCD, as well as depression. I didn’t want to fuck up my portrayal of him, or OCD, so I did a lot of research, and I reached out to people with OCD. I learned a lot. Honestly, though, he’s suffering. He’s struggling, and he wants someone to hold him together. He makes finding love his priority, he tries to make it the answer, to make Audrey the answer. He invests everything in her. I just wanted to make his mindset, his genuine and pure love for her… I wanted it to feel as real and human as it is, and for people to understand why he does what he does, why he says what he says. I’m being a little vague— *laughs* I just don’t want to spoil it. But, yeah, Chris is very important to me. I was absolutely honored to play him.
SEAN: It was very, very evident that you put thought and love into him, and to the film. I think you pulled it off seamlessly, Johnny.
JOHNNY: Thank you, man.
Y/N: *nudging him, reminding* Were there any parts harder to film than others?
JOHNNY: Oh, right! Sorry… ugh, I don’t want to spoil anything.
SEAN: You don’t have to answer it if you’re concerned about spoiling.
JOHNNY: Okay. Well, if you’ve seen the film, or even if you haven’t… there’s a scene near the end, where Chris is alone… you’ll know what I’m talking about. It was difficult.
SEAN: Y/N?
Y/N: Okay. *she exhales* Hopefully I can articulate this well. I was attracted to the film for the same reasons as Johnny. But… what really did it for me was reading the monologue I was given for my audition. I don’t wanna say what it is, since I guess we are a spoiler-free zone, but it was so raw and real. I just fell in love with Audrey, I really did. She’s an aspiring novelist, and she truly loves writing, and words, and feeling. Maybe it’s also one of her biggest flaws… but she can’t bring herself to write a feeling she doesn’t understand. That’s, like, her thing. Every emotion—every smile, every tear, she has to have felt it for it to mean something. That’s what broke my heart. Life has just beat her to death, and on top of everything she’s been through, after how numb she has been for most of her life, it’s like she craves that sort of pain, the heartbreak. She falls in love easily, and she wants the impending heartbreak as much as she fears it. She wants her muse. She wants someone to give her the pain she wants to write about. It’s really fucked up. But she meets Chris, and she invests her mind, her body, her soul into him—and she doesn’t know what she wants anymore. She’s as real to me as anyone else. She’s fucked up, she’s brilliant, she’s lovable, she’s mean, she’s extremely flawed—and I just love her for that. I didn’t want to just play her… I wanted to be her, to immerse myself in who she is. I want people to watch the film and forget they’re watching a film. I want them to live it, and for them to know and love Chris and Audrey the way we do.
JOHNNY: You made my response sound bad.
Y/N: Oh, shut up.
SEAN: You’re obviously very passionate about them—and it shows on screen, as well. I don’t imagine it’s easy to portray those situations, for either of you, but I can’t tell you enough how amazing you two did.
Y/N: Thank you so much. Awwh—I’m really touched by that.
JOHNNY: It means so much. We put our heart and souls into this.
SEAN: You’re welcome! It’s honestly Oscar worthy, in my eyes.
Y/N: Oh my God—I can’t even think about that… never in a million years would I think about getting an Oscar. John, though, I can see.
JOHNNY: *scoffs* You’re insane. You deserve one—Miss Emmy award.
she sticks her tongue out at him, and he smiles adoringly at her.
SEAN: Ready for the next sauce?
they move on to the next sauce.
Y/N: *biting into the wing, mouth full* Oh, fuck.
SEAN: Bad?
Y/N: *shaking head* No, just a… strange flavor? Not bad, but different.
SEAN: You two are really good with this stuff—usually people are sweating a bit by now.
JOHNNY: I grew up with spice. Korean food is hot.
SEAN: So, Y/N, I wanted to talk a little more about ‘Obsession’.
Y/N: Go for it.
SEAN: Rumor has it that filming for season three is coming up… can you confirm that?
Y/N: I don’t know if I can confirm it, but I will. *laughs* We’re supposed to do a read-through in a few weeks and I am scared shitless.
SEAN: Why is that?
JOHNNY: Can I just say—she regularly spoils the show for me. I’m scared shitless, as well, because I don’t want her to drop any bombs on me.
Y/N: *pouting, whiny* But Johnny, my mom gets mad if I spoil it.... and you’re my best friend.
johnny rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
SEAN: You’re notorious for spoiling—I’m surprised you haven’t spoiled the movie in this.
JOHNNY: I made her promise not to.
Y/N: Yeah. But, uh, I’m nervous about what the fuck is going to happen this season. I stay in close contact with production, and… I’ve heard it’s going to be insane. I love playing Mina, I love her to death… so I’m, like, fearing for her life and well-being. We all know Jongin’s character, Kai, is fucking stalking her, and she’s just… oblivious. It’s scary. And last season we started to find out about Kyungsoo’s character, D.O., and the skeletons in his closet…
SEAN: The show definitely doesn’t shy away from the disturbing.
Y/N: Right! It’s part of why I love it… even though it can get insane and terrifying, it’s addicting. And, God, it’s so crazy how well Kyungsoo and Jongin play their parts. It’s almost weird how Jongin is so good at what he does—especially since he doesn’t have a background in acting. It’s a challenging role.
SEAN: I agree—it’s very chilling at times. As for Mina, she seems very different from you.
Y/N: Oh, one hundred percent. She’s vulnerable in a way that I’m not familiar with, in a way that very few people are. Sometimes I wish I could shake her by the shoulders, because she’s an idiot, she’s purposely continuing to fuck up her life, and I want her to realize her worth… and to stop wasting her time with Kai. D.O. is better, even though he’s also batshit—and I can’t rave enough about Kyungsoo, my God. He’s a dream. He’s helped me adjust to the success, and helps me with my performance… We all know how perfect he is.
johnny had been listening intently the entire time, but frowned slightly when y/n raved about kyungsoo. his jealousy is shown on camera, albeit subtly.
SEAN: You know, we’ve had so many requests for you two on the show, as well. Jongin and Sehun as well.
Y/N: I never want to do an interview with Sehun—he’s a little shit and I refuse to compliment him. He bullies me more than Johnny does.
JOHNNY: *grinning* She’s lying, she loves him.
y/n shakes her head at the camera.
the next sauce is shown.
Y/N: Oh, this one is your sauce!
SEAN: Yeah, it’s one we made for this season. Ready?
they all bite into the wings.
JOHNNY: Oh, God… *he grabs his water and takes a sip*
y/n is coughing and has her nose scrunched.
SEAN: You guys okay?
Y/N: This hurts.
JOHNNY: Yeah, uh, this one is a bit of a leap.
y/n goes to scratch beside her eye, but johnny notices and quickly grabs her hand.
SEAN: Your eyes!
Y/N: *eyes wide* Oh, God, thank you… that would have been bad.
JOHNNY: Dummy.
SEAN: Johnny, you’re one of the most followed Instagram users in the world. On top of Youtube, Instagram, and Twitter, fans have been requesting you join TikTok.
y/n is giggling.
JOHNNY: God, they really have.
SEAN: Any plans for that? Or is YouTube enough for you right now?
JOHNNY: Honestly, I’m not that big of a fan of TikTok. Y/N sends me a lot of them, but that’s really it. I don’t have an account. So, honestly, probably not.
Y/N: You don’t watch all of the ones I send you…
JOHNNY: You send me about twenty a day.
Y/N: And?
SEAN: *laughs* Well, you’re obviously popular on the other platforms.
JOHNNY: The Instagram thing blows my mind.
Y/N: Oh, please… you always stop for pictures. You’re all about your daily fits.
JOHNNY: Because I’m fashionable.
SEAN: Yeah, I was going to ask about that. You’ve done a few fashion shows, and you’re an ambassador for Saint Laurent. You’ve expressed interest in creating your own clothing line, as well. Were you serious about that?
JOHNNY: Oh, yeah. I would love to be able to have my own line… fashion has always been something I’ve been interested in, and I enjoy styling my outfits, as well as my friends’.
Y/N: He helps me. I have a horrible sense of fashion.
JOHNNY: You’re not that bad.
Y/N: Eh.
SEAN: You’ve made headlines just because of your street style.
JOHNNY: *laughs* Yeah, that’s… something. Honestly, though, maybe in a few years… I’d love to have my own line. I’m also honored to be a Saint Laurent ambassador—they’ve been one of my favorite brands for years.
SEAN: You’re really a jack of all trades—Youtuber, influencer, actor, singer, and model. Is there anything you can’t do?
Y/N: I can answer that—no. He’s infuriatingly perfect.
JOHNNY: *teasing* Awwh, babe, you’re so sweet.
he caresses her cheek, and y/n is screaming on the inside.
Y/N: I take it back.
the ninth sauce is introduced.
Y/N: Fucking hell.
she begins to cough, and fan her face. the sauce is nearly unbearable. johnny breaths out, eyes wide and staring at the table. he also coughs a bit.
SEAN: You okay?
JOHNNY: Yeah, this sucks. This is hot as fuck, holy shit.
y/n is still silent, and begins to chug her entire glass of water.
SEAN: Y/N?
Y/N: I’m good. I’m fine. I got it.
JOHNNY: *concerned* You sure, love?
once again, y/n is flustered. this time, she’s bad at hiding it. she blames it on the spice.
Y/N: U-uh, yeah… *gets a grip on herself, waves him off* Yeah. Don’t worry ‘bout it.
she is clearly still affected, whereas johnny has already tackled the intensity of the spice.
SEAN: I’m curious—are there any genres of film that you two want to try? And do you two want to work on another project together?
johnny looks over at y/n, a slight crease in his brow. worried.
Y/N: Um, my mouth hurts. You go first, mm?
johnny squeezes her thigh under the table and pushes his water towards her.
JOHNNY: Of course I’d want to work with her again. That’s my Y/N—I feel like we bring the best out of each other, and, again, I love working with her. As for things I’d want to try… *he trails off, his mind definitely on things he wants to try… but not in relation to the question. he pushes his hair back with his wrist* I think It’d be fun to do a crime movie. I’m obviously fond of doing dramas and musicals, as well as coming-of-age movies, but playing a criminal would be fun.
SEAN: I didn’t expect that! I can see it, though.
JOHNNY: Yeah, I’d like to do something like Robert Pattinson in ‘Good Time’.
SEAN: I think you could pull that off. Y/N, you doing okay?
Y/N: *smiles* Yeah, sorry! Just had to get used to it. Uh… yeah, me too—working with Johnny again, I mean. Of course—he’s my guy. Working with him is the best. And… ooh, honestly, I want to be in a horror movie, or a thriller! I like psychological thrillers, and I love scary movies… very open to that. *laughs* John, we should do a movie like Zac Efron and Lily Collins… what was it? The Bundy movie.
SEAN: That’d be interesting.
JOHNNY: Hell yeah.
the final sauce is displayed.
y/n has her head in her hands, stressed, and johnny has moved his hand from her thigh to her back.
JOHNNY: C’mon, it’ll be okay.
SEAN: We’re almost done! You’ve done really great so far.
Y/N: *sighs* Shit’s hot, dude… fuck it, let’s get it over wwith.
the guys laugh as y/n hurriedly bites into the wing. they follow. johnny has a funny expression on as he swallows.
JOHNNY: Goddamn… this hurts. *he coughs*
SEAN: Yeah, this one is pretty bad.
y/n has her head completely down on the table, but with one elbow propped up, sauce still on her fingers. you can hear her moaning in pain.
JOHNNY: Here, drink some water.
he grabs her and sits her up, gently, but laughs at her pained expression.
Y/N: I hate this. Do we have milk?
SEAN: Yeah, we’ll get you some.
she coughs, johnny rubbing her back, and reaches for the glass of milk. he still seems collected.
SEAN: You got it, Y/N.
y/n is chugging the milk and giving a thumbs up. johnny smiles at her.
SEAN: So, we got deep with some of these questions.
JOHNNY: You’re a hell of an interviewer.
Y/N: *still pained, but smiling* I don’t know what you lace things wings with to get us this deep. We talked a lot.
SEAN: All good answers though! So, for this last one, it’s not really a question—anything you guys want to say to each other or to the cameras? Anything, the floor is yours.
the two look at each other, silently asking a question. johnny smiles, but it quickly turns to an intense stare. y/n’s eyes widen, confused. he can’t look at her like that.
Y/N: *nervous* What?
JOHNNY: *puts a hand on y/n’s cheek and leans in, almost smiling at her flustered expression* Y/N…
y/n bursts out laughing, but is equally terrified. her heart is beating out of her chest. sean internally feels like he is interrupting something again.
JOHNNY: I just wanted to tell you… it’s something I’ve wanted to say for years. Something that—fuck, this’ll probably change everything. I just need to tell you, get this off my chest.
y/n is panicking and fails at masking it. she looks over at the cameras, genuinely baffled. they’re doing an interview, what was he doing?
Y/N: Johnny, what-?
JOHNNY: When we were at that hotel with Jaehyun and Sooyoung—a few years back, remember? You lost your room key and got locked out, and I told you I didn’t have it, but I was lying. I took it on purpose to fuck with you.
y/n is gaping, completely at a loss. sean laughs, also shocked. johnny is laughing his ass off.
Y/N: I… you fucking bitch.
SEAN: You really had me going there.
Y/N: Edit this out. I have nothing to say to this asshole.
JOHNNY: *innocently* What did I do?
Y/N: *ignoring him, turning to the camera, smiling* Anyway, thank you for watching us! ‘Day Dream’ is out in theatres, and we really hope you’ll go see it. We put our all into it, as did the other cast members and the crew, and I know you all will enjoy it!
JOHNNY: Yeah, please go see it, you won’t be disappointed.
johnny smiles at the camera, and then y/n who rolls her eyes and shoves him, though she is unable to suppress her smile.
the logo appears on screen and the video ends.

series master list
chapter one; touché, jaeger
content warning; public sex, cheating, wall sex, unprotected, cream pie, slight degradation
the sun was setting as you walked out the front doors of your dormitory, closing them behind you. hearing your phone quietly ring, you pulled it out from the waistband of your skirt.
‘hello’
babe, are you guys almost here? games about to start and the other girls need historia
‘leaving now, hist just got here’
alright, if i can’t catch you before it starts we’re still on for dinner... right?
‘yeah of course. good luck reiner, win one for me.’
your life right now made you feel like you were in some cliche romcom. dating the college football superstar, best friends with the head cheerleader, all the cliches made you feel like you were still in high school. historia has been your best friend since birth, so of course the two of you hadn’t split up entering college. she had the cheer scholarship, you had the brains to get in with an application. you met reiner through mutual friends, but you couldn’t figure out why he fell for someone like you. usually, in the movies, the hot popular guy falls in love with the hot popular girl... but that wasn’t you, it was more like your best friend. you were more laid back, just wanting to get your degree.
your relationship with reiner was... slow, to say the least. it’s almost the end of your freshman year of college and he seems to be more focused on football than you. but you don’t blame him, he just wants to be successful with his passion. you do hate the fact that you have to take care of yourself all the time. he’s never able to stay the night, as he has training early in the morning. sometimes you wish that he could just be more available to you.
running out down the small path, you stopped in front of a car full of people. this was the way all friday nights were. you were picked up by a jammed pack car holding historia and a bunch of other people, before driving off to the football field. opening the car, it was really full tonight.
“you’re gonna have to sit on someone’s lap, just for the ride” jean said with a grim smirk on his face
“hist you’re tiny, sit on ymir’s lap”
ymir of course not having a problem, pulled the small blonde into her lap with a grin on her face. you then hopped into the car, taking historia’s previous spot.
arriving at the field, historia had to run off to her team and get a lecture by the coach on why she has to stop being so late. after giving her a hug for good luck, you wandered off to the concession stands.
“just a pretzel, please”
receiving your snack, you were about to walk over to the bleachers until you heard your name being called over the short fence.
“Y/N!”
letting out a sigh, you ran over to the voice calling you over.
“quiet down, unnecessary attention.”
lifting his helmet off, he used his large hands to pull your head into his, capturing his lips with yours.
“and? ya look pretty tonight, what if i want people to see my gorgeous little girlfriend.”
“don’t you have a game to play, tough guy?”
talking to your boyfriend, you felt like someone was piercing into the back of your head. people were probably watching the two of you, but no... that wasn’t the feeling. it felt like one person had their eyes glued to you. saying goodbye to your boyfriend, you started to walk over to the bleachers. they were packed with people and you had no one to sit with. your eyes started to scan looking for either bertholdt or colt, two quiet boys you seemed to get along well with.
bertholdt was reiner’s best friend. you noticed him the first time you met everyone. he was always following reiner around like a lost puppy, but reiner seemed to love his presence. when you and reiner started dating, he left you guys alone most the time, but he’s still was always around. colt you also met through reiner, on campus. you really strengthened your friendship after visiting reiners hometown over mid-winter break. while you and reiner were babysitting his cousin, her best friend tagged along, who was the little brother of colt.
you were getting a little nervous until you heard someone call your name and wave you over. jean kirstein, from the car. jean pissed you off on so many levels, but he also made you feel safe in a way. running over to where he was, you took a seat in between him and his best friend.
“hey marco! kirstein.”
“ouch... you’re so cold sometimes, y/n”
jean always had to make a dramatic comment no matter what the situation was. settling into your seat, you stayed quiet for the most part after that. the game was close to being over when you got up from your spot.
“gonna use the bathroom, ill be right back.”
you didn’t actually have to pee, just needed a moment away from the screaming and loud noises. running towards the extra, empty parking lot. you felt someone grab your arm, dragging you into the darkness. about to scream, you felt a hand cover your mouth.
“shhh, its just me.”
wiggling out of his grip, you pushed him into the brick wall. he let out a chuckle, surprised you could shove him like that.
“you dipshit, i thought i was getting kidnapped.”
you felt rough hands pull you by the waist into his chest.
“yeah well anyone would want to get their hands on a pretty girl like you, i’ve warned you about wandering at night by yourself... haven’t i?”
“touché, jaeger”
his slender fingers found their way up your thighs and under your skirt, teasing the hem of your panties.
“not here jaeger, i have to get back to-”
“back to the boyfriend, yeah.” - he didn't stop though, he snuck his hand down to make contact with your clit, rubbing small, soft circles around it. “remember our agreement though? if you want, i can break it... show everyone your-”
“fine. make it quick.”
“you don't make the rules here, ill take as much time as i need.”
eren jaeger was popular around campus, not in the same way as reiner though. he wasn't some big shot blonde football player, just well known for being a jackass. his reputation started in the beginning of the year. he was a pretty low-key guy, just down to fuck almost anyone who asked. but then he'd just break their hearts, but girls always still tried getting him to fall for them.
he released your skirt and pushed you back up against the wall. as you both switched positions, you could see the faint red in his eyes, pulled out by the street light.
his lips found yours, roughly shoving his tongue into your mouth. once he felt that was enough, he flipped you over on the wall. to avoid scraping your face or getting your shirt dirty, you pushed your hands up onto the wall. you heard the familiar unbuckle of eren’s belt, and the shuffling of him trying to free his erect cock.
brining his hand in front of your mouth, he cupped it a bit. knowing what he wanted you to do, you spit right into it twice. he then brought his hand back and lathered his cock with your saliva. pulling the bottom of your skirt up to your waist, he pushed your panties to the side before slowly sliding himself into you.
not bothering to care about the stinging you might've been feeling, he brought himself back out before slamming right back in. repeating and repeating, going at a roughly fast pace.
“‘ren sl-... slow down.”
“shut up, whore. you should... fuck- should know your place by now.”
letting out a whimper, you felt your fingertips push so hard into the wall, bound to leave a scratch. you then had them peeled off the concrete wall, as eren pulled both of you backwards. pulling out, he spun you around and pushed you back up onto the wall.
he brought your thigh up to meet his hip, before thrusting himself back into you.
“your little pussy takes me so fuckin’ well”
clenching around him from his words, you let your head fall down onto his shoulder.
“want me to fill you u-”
he was cut off by the sound of your phone ringing. brining your head up, you went to go pull your phone out and hit decline... but eren beat you to it. he took your phone and hit accept, holding it up to your ear.
babe?
‘r-reiner!’
nice win, right?
‘y-yeah you were... you were amazing as always’
cuz i was thinkin’ of you. anyways i'm heading to the locker room, you with bert?
you felt yourself start to panic at the heat of the moment. you were on the phone with your boyfriend as you were getting pounded by the biggest dick on campus. he was ruthless. not bothering to slow down or stop, he just thrusted in harder and faster than before.
‘no actually-’ you were about to let out a moan but you covered it up with a cough ‘just i-in... the bath- the bathroom’
you okay?
‘yeah i’m... fine, 'm fine. ill see you in a few’
alright, love you
‘i love, love you too.’
right when you hung up you choked out a load moan that's been building up. without warning, eren came and shot right up inside you. of course he wouldn't make you cum at a scene like this.
pulling out, he pushed the seeping cum back up with his fingers, before pulling your panties back in place and fixing your skirt.
“now go hangout with your boyfriend while your full of my cum.”
“eren-”
he turned you around back out of the darkness and playfully smacked your ass before giving your back a little push.
“i promise i’ll make it up to you, now run along like a good girl.”
giving him a frown, you made your way to the exit of the locker room. you stood there waiting for reiner, clenching your thighs together.
dinner with reiner was sweeter than usual. most times after a game you were dragged to a loud diner with all his friends, forced to hangout with them. but tonight, reiner just wanted it to be you and him. nothing special though, just a quick food joint. walking back to your dorm, you felt the guilt build up in your chest like it always did.
arriving at the front door of your single-person dorm, reiner pulled you into a soft, sweet kiss.
“practice is canceled tomorrow, i can stay for once.”
of course, the one night you're stuffed to the brim with another man’s cum.
opening the door, you let him in. the two of you laid kissing on the bed, before he tried sneaking his hand up your skirt.
you felt yourself start to internally freak out. if he were to finger you right now, he'd just be met with a load of cum.
“i-im on my period.”
reiner was always understanding, so of course he was in this position.
“ok, that's fine. we can just cuddle and watch a movie.”
“sounds good” after placing a kiss on his cheek, you got up to go put a pair of sweats on, before returning back to your bed.
he must've been worn out from the game, as he almost immediately fell asleep in your arms. you couldn’t help but feel guilty, thinking about eren. do you wish it was him laying in your arms right now? no. reiner is everything you could ever ask for. you knew he deserved the world, you don't want to hurt him like you are now.
but you knew what would happen if you didn't give eren what he wanted.
and that'd be even worse.

Lips Of An Angel, Part 2
Here it is guys!! Part two!! Thank you for being patient with me!! and because you asked nicely I tagging @marshmallow12435 because you wanted to know when I posted!! So here goes! Enjoy everyone!!
====================================================
Shot ran until he thought his lungs might give out, he was hoping he would catch up to you before you even made it to Katsuki’s, if that was where you were even headed? No he couldn’t think like that, He was going to find you there.
There is was, just up ahead, Katsuki’s home, The lights were on, that’s a good sign right? It was almost 2am! Surely that had to mean you were there. He reached the door and began to hammer on it, Frantic, but he didn’t care, He needed to explain, or at least try to.
A very disgruntled Bakugo finally answered the door.
“She doesn’t wanna see you, Asshole.” He snapped a soon as he opened the door.
Shoto was trying to catch his breath on the blondes porch.
“I don’t care what you tell me she said, i need to speak to her.” He managed to get out between breaths.
He tried to push his way past the explosive hero, but to no avail, Bakugo stopped him.
“I said she doesn’t wanna see you.” He said eerily calm.
They angrily stared each other down at the front door, Bakugos grip on Shotos arm tightened, small crackles could be heard and the temperature in the room began to noticeably drop as the two heroes continued their stare down.
“Katsuki...” Your feeble voice came from behind the mountain of a man, “Its ok, i’ll handle it.”
Shoto looked behind Bakugo, his eyes widened in shock and sadness as he took in your dishevelled hair, red eyes and puffy cheeks, he had caused all this hurt, you let out a sniffle and he thinks he feels his heart break, This was all his fault. He snatches his arm away from Bakugos grip and quickly makes his way over to you, reaching for your hands, only to visibly wince when you retreat them from his reach, not letting him hold your hands in his.
“Say what you came to say, and leave.” You said, as you stared at you hands, picking at the loose skin around your nails, a habit of yours. “I already know all the important parts, so don’t try and play the victim here”
“No please, YN. I am not here to try and talk my way out of anything, what i have done is awful” He says sadly, “But please here me out.”
Bakugo interrupts. “I’ll be in the kitchen, YN if you need me to kick this guys ass, just shout.” He makes to leave, but not without harshly bumping in to Shotos shoulder first. Making you smirk a little. Petty, but you didn’t care.
“Thanks Suki.” You mutter, eyes still glued to your hands, still yet to look Shoto in the eye.
Shoto guides you to the sofa and sits down besides you, feeling the pain when you shuffle away from him being to close.
“I love you...” He begins but is quickly cut off.
“Don’t, Just don’t give me that bullshit, I don’t need you to lie to my face as well as behind my back, stop trying to make yourself feel better about doing something shitty. I don’t need your pity and your excuses, If that’s all you have to say then leave.”
“I can’t lie to you anymore, because I truly do love you, Please believe me.”
“WHY SHOULD I?!” You yell, forcing yourself to your feet to pace around, “Give me one good fucking reason as to why I should believe a god damn word that comes out your mouth! You have apparently done nothing but lie to me from the start! Everything you have ever said to me has been a lie, EVERYTHING!”
“NO Y/N!! I never lied to you, everything i ever said was true, every compliment, every i love you, everything was true, just please let me explain.”
“And what? I am meant to be grateful now?” You spit back.
“No, just please...”
you looked down at his desperate facial expression, you could see it in his eyes, sincerity, maybe you should just let him explain himself properly.”
“You have 5 minutes.” You huffed as you sank back down in to the sofa.
“Thank you.” He said, then silence engulfed the two of you, Where did he even begin?
“4 minutes left.” You stated.
“Right” He sighed deeply, “Well as you probably gathered from the phonecall, there has been...”
“No shit Sherlock” You snapped, you were beyond sad now, Shoto turning up and taking his sweet time had just made you mad, in fact it made you furious. He blinked back at your bluntness, he wasn’t used to you not being patient with him or swearing so much, he was taken aback. You had never snapped at him before. “Just get on with it Todoroki or I swear.”
That was it, hearing his family name slip from your lips instead of the usual Shoto made him snap, tears threatening to pour down his pink cheeks.
“Don’t you fucking dare.” You snapped when you saw the tears. “You have absolutely no right to cry in front of me right now.”
“I can’t help it, hearing you call me by my surname feels like the final nail in the coffin.”
“If you don’t get on with it we’ll both be in coffins.” You muttered, “Now just tell me what you wanna say.”
“There has always been someone else that has also had my heart.” He said, wiping the tears away, “She shrouded my mind and for a while she was all i could think about, even after we met, I just couldn’t seem to get her off my mind, But the closer we got, the more she faded away, eventually I found myself barely thinking of her, and smiling around you a lot more. Just as a I found myself fully falling for you, she clawed her way back in to my life, and it was like she had never left, like I was under some kind of spell for her. I couldn’t bring myself to hurt you, I really was falling hard for you, But I also kept finding myself in her embrace, I am sorry for what I have done, truly, because after tonight’s phone call, I saw you were gone and I just instantly knew, I felt it in my bones that you were the one I needed in my life, the one i wanted and desired the most. The panic that washed over me at the thought of you not being in my life, Imagining not waking up to you every morning, No more loving kisses, no more breakfasts together before going off to work, no more evening cuddles while a forgotten movie played in the background, I couldn’t not have you in my life, and i promise to spend the rest of my life making it up to you, If you could just find it in your heart to give me one last chance, Just come home with me and forget any of this ever happened, to please, just forgive me and let me hold you again.”
A few tears rolled down your cheeks as you cupped his face with your hands, he automatically leaned in to your touch, he looked in to your eyes and gave you a small smile, which you returned, and he closed his eyes in contentment....
“Is that it?” You sighed
His eyes snapped open as you let go of his face, staring straight in to your stoic eyes that gave nothing away. Emotionless.
“Di you really think something like that pathetic little speech was going to get me to come home and welcome you back with open arms, when our whole relationship was built on a rebound that you didn’t even get over? You want me to just up and forgive you after 3 years of deceit? You think its gonna be all sunshine and rainbows? No, I don’t trust you and you want to follow you home like a loyal puppy and play happy families and pretend like none of this happened!!”
You stop to catch your breath, standing and running your hands through your hair, A speechless Shoto sat staring at you as you continued with your rant.”
“What? Nothing to say? Did you not prepare for the possibility I wasn’t going to return to you, what like I am so lucky in life to be with the great Shoto Todoroki? Well, as it turns out, I am shit outta luck! And so are you!! Tough luck Todoroki! TOUGH FUCKING LUCK! This isn’t some sappy RomCom where you say a few nice things about me and I come running back to you, I’m not some pathetic lonely woman who thinks she will never find love again, who thinks she has nothing else in her life worth living for because some asshole cheated on her, I am not someone who has no other options because some lying cheating scumbag bastard strung her along for 3 years, NO! Not me, I have a life still to live, and I don’t need you in it. But I do want an answer, so give me one. Who is she?”
He stared open mouthed at your heavily breathing frame, Should he tell you? Would you kill her? What does he do now? Just as he was about to open his mouth the door opened and he suddenly didn’t have to say anything, In walked Camie, Bakugo’s long time girlfriend, and from the shock on her face and the look on Shoto’s as he stared at her presence, It didn’t take a genius to figure it out.
“Sh... Todoroki... YLN.. what...what are you guys doing here so late?” She asked, a lump in her throat as she did.
You looked from her to Shoto, and you knew.
“It’s you...” You said, “Its been you all along..”
Camie just stands there like a dear in the headlights, her gaze flitting from you to Shoto, begging him with her eyes for an ounce of backup.
“ I....” Tears began to pour freely down her face.
“KATSUKI!!!” You screamed.
“NO! PLEASE!” She lunges towards you, grabbing your arm.
“What? and just let my best friend continue his life with an unfaithful whore?”
You yelled at her as Bakugo shot in from the kitchen, just in time to witness you thro Camie from your grasp on to the ground.
“Woah!!” He yelled, heading for Camie, but you stopped him, “ What the hell is going on here?”
“It’s her” you said calmly looking down at the girl, who was now her knees, crying at your feet. “It’s her who has been fucking Todoroki for almost my entire relationship with him!”
Bakugo just stared down at her, eyes wide, His gaze turned to Shoto, who was sat on the couch, his face in his hands as his shoulders shook from silently crying. Bakugo saw red. His head lowered, his teeth grinding together, His Palms crackling loudly around his balled up fists, He was about to step forward until he felt your hand on his shoulder.
“They are not worth it, either of them.”
He calmed down slightly at your words and touch and looked you in the eye, you smiled and he returned the smile.
“Just one question,” He stated boldly, looking down at Camie, “Di you ever love me? Or did you just choose me to get closer to this bastard?”
She looked up at him, her silence speaking volumes, That was all he needed.
“Get the fuck out, both of you.” He fumed
“But where am I meant to go?”
“Do it look like i give a shit about where you go, end up in a ditch for all I care, why don’t you go to lover boys house with him, Whore.”
“She is no longer welcome at my place.” Shoto said as he stood up heading for the door, not without giving you one last apologetic smile.
“Katsuki, please.” Camie begged holding on to the hem of his shirt from he place still on the floor.
“NO! You don’t get to call me that anymore, Now I aid, get out.”
He bent down grabbing her by the collar of her coat and literally throwing her out the door, Shot still stared at you sadly as the door was slammed in both thier faces. He had really fucked up, and he knew deep down there was nothing he do to fix it.
He stared longingly at the door, until Camie tried to grab his hand, that he snatched away.
“Don’t touch me, this is all your fault, I was just getting over you! I had found someone I could love, who I DID love, why did you haver to come back and ruin everything for me!? I am going home, don’t follow me.”
He storms off leaving her in the street alone to sort out her own situation, He was done with her, he wouldn’t let her ruin his life again.
Back in Bakugo’s house you slumped down on the sofa, your head on your hands, tears wanting to fall but you not quite letting them.
“He isn’t worth it.” Bakugo said in a calm voice, a hand around your back, drawing small circles along the small of it to calm you down. You look at him smiling and padding your eyes with your hands to stop the tears, “ You know I am right.” He smiles down at you.
“Yeah, you’re always right. Aren’t you?” You giggle back at him.
“You know it, sweetheart.” He laughs, “Now come one we should get some shut eye, we are both on patrol tomorrow. You can stay here as long as you need to.”
“Shit, Patrol. My hero uniform and everything is all at that hom... Todorokis place.”
“Don’t worry, make me a list and ill swing by in the morning for your uniform, you have bought the essentials right?”
You nod at him
“Right well I’ll get you some fresh sheets for the guest room, lets sleep.”
You yawned and followed him to the guest room and he got you the fresh sheets he promised and bid you a goodnight as he went to his room.
The next morning, Bakugo was true to his word and went to Shoto’s house to collect your hero uniform and a few other things as specified in the list he asked you to write for him. He arrived, ringing the doorbell and waiting for an answer. He eventually opened the door, he looked like shit.
“Bakugo.” He seethed
“Asshole.” Bakugo replied.
After they exchanged their greetings, Bakugo made his way inside, explaning you had sent him for the bits you needed.
“Is she okay?” Shoto asked sheepishly.
“You don’t get to know that.” Bakugo spat back as a reply.
“Come on Bakugo, at least let me know she is okay?”
“You threw away the right you had to know anything about her or her life.”
Shoto stared down at the blonde as he packed a few of your belongings into the bag he bought with him.
“Oh my god...” Shoto realized. “ You’re still in love with her aren’t you?”
“Always was, always will be.” Bakugo replied without missing a beat, he smiled up at the dual haired man, “ Your loss will be my gain.”
He zipped up the bag and stood besides Shoto. Shoto’s left side began to ignite a little out of jealousy and rage.
“Go ahead IcyHot, do your worst, I’ll just go home and have YN patch me up while i tell her what a monster you are.”
With that said, his flames extinguished, He didn’t want you to think he was a monster, even though it is what he deserved.
“Just treat her better than I ever did.” Shot said quietly.
“That won’t be difficult.”
That stung.
Bakugo stepped past Shoto, leaving him behind with just his thoughts and memories.
He made it back to his house, he entered only to be hit with the smell of bacon and eggs, a smile creeped on to his face, he could get used to this domestic life bullshit, coming home to a cooked meal everyday sounded great. He decided there and then that he wasn’t going to waste another second of his life with out you. He walked in to the kitchen gaining you attention.
“Hey Kats....” You were cut off by his lips slamming down on to yours, You were still for a few seconds while you figured out what ws happening, and then you melted in to his embrace as you returned the kiss, you felt his smile on your lips as the kiss deepened.
He begrudgingly broke the contact.
“You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that.” He whispered against your lips that were still very close to his own, his arms tightening around your waist.
“Then show me, Suki.” You said as you returned you lips to his and kissed him with all the passion you had.
You were sure he has the lips of an Angel

please DO give us a list about why we should watch Die Hard
OK COOL YES WILL DO!
This movie changed the fact of action movies forever!! Ask anyone who knows anything about film history— it was groundbreaking. It basically set the formula for action films for DECADES to come
It was the first action movie to have the entirety of the conflict/plot take place in one area/building (so its basically a movie-length bottle episode which is SPECTACULAR)
John McClane is FUNNY. Like not overdone quippy action star funny. His dialogue is so damn genuine and actually hilarious
Speaking of: if I remember correctly, because of time crunches the script for this movie was written more or less as they shot?? Which is insane for a blockbuster and even more insane because of HOW good it is.
And he’s not a passive protag either!! Things don’t happen to him in this movie, HE happens! It’s SO refreshing to see an action movie where the protagonist actively chooses to move the plot along.
Be ready to have an emotional attachment to like, every character. It’s kind of insane how well written they are (Except maybe ellis. He sucks)
More than that, it’s a Masterclass in acting from Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. Like really fucking good. Oscar worthy
Hans gruber is such a fucking good villain. Not only does he have really relatable motives compared to the world domination of, say, bond villains, he’s just got SUCH an interesting was of improvising when he needs to. Watch the movie, but my FAVORITE SCENE EVER is the one where he puts on an American accent. You’ll know it and you’ll LOVE it when you see it
Any explosions filmed from the outside of the building (+ helicopter scenes!!) were filmed with SCALE MODELS!!! And you can BARELY TELL but its SO COOL AND REALLY GOOD
It’s so damn well paced. Like it’s legitimately so exciting to watch and it never feels too slow or too overcomplicated
The emotional arc of the story is SO important?? And really well done? Like it’s not all about the explosions and stunts its about FAMILY
Its on my list of hyper masculine movies that are actually really good and well made if you’re not watching them with a cishet man
Its also on my list of hyper masculine movies that are actually gay romcoms if you squint (i mean this scene they’re fully flirting like zero subtext it’s embarrassing)
And my favorite little bit of trivia:
Bruce willis, before becoming the action star we know and love, was in this really soapy romcom tv show called Moonlighting. he was cast in Die Hard the execs were so worried that he wouldn’t be able to pull it off because he had this image of being a romantic lead. To put it in perspective it’s like if noah centineo was cast in a big blockbuster action flick next year. It’s insane and shows JUST how dang talented Bruce is.
Go watch die hard this Christmas. Or whenever. It doesn’t matter just watch it
#BUT FUCKING WATCH DIE HARD OK#ITS ON PRIME AND PEACOCK FOR FREE BITCHES NO EXCUSES#WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAL#btw this is coming from a person who is relatively neutral about action films. like they do nothing for me if theyre not quality#and besties#this one is QUALITY.#there are. so many movies i could recommend in this style#please more people ask me to recommend them movies#i have so many good ones up my sleeve because i am a little film nerd in my heart#die hard#thoughts from the dumpster#thank u for the ask!!#kap tag

May 13th Reading
Definitely long awaited and way bigger than I intended it to be so buckle up.
Funky disclaimer: this is for entertainment purposes only and not to be taken as fact! This is my interpretation of the cards!
Oh boy. The continuation of yoongis soulmate saga.
(Note frome future me: it's not proofread but I'm hungry. Sorry for mistakes!)
So so so so
Let's start.
I started with all the normal jazz. Connecting with his energy and shit. Same as usual same old same old. Platform= same same. I was like, "hey, let's talk about your soulmate and the whole may 13th shit" and we connected via energy stringy thing to the forehead and such. I was intresting bc my end of the string was kinda my energy color! Neato. Looks like some rest has really done me good!
Okay, here's where I start actually asking shit. I made notes at this point before the reading as I usually do. I'm just gonna insert the screen shot here.
The 14 thing really fucked me up. You'll see later. Also, when I got the whole Pisces Jupiter thing I had to do me some googling bc we established that Jupiter went into Pisces ON May 13th so I was like?? Am I missing something?
I was. I forgot that it goes retrograde and then co.es back to Pisces on December 28th. And I do indeed think it to be significant.
The shit about temperance makes a lot of sense. In yoongis first soulmate read I flipped my shit bc he was like, "You're gonna get temperance reverse" in regards to a card for his soulmate and I was like "pft whatever. Don't play me like that"
And then I got temperance reverse. It's been a significant card from the jump.
I asked him if he had any advice for his soulmate and that's what "Don't wait for big things, you'll miss the small ones that lead you to bigger things" and "Look for facts before assuming" and "Don't try pushing it, forcing it won't make sense" and "A spade is a spade/ ace is an ace" and "Don't make ill informed guesses" all were
Now this part:
"Union has happened , yet to on the physical"
Gave me some hints thankfully because he straight up said no more hints.
This ties back into the whole Jupiter thing too. The seeds are/ have been planted and now they have to grow before they can be harvested.
Well Mr. Yoongi, I'm impatient and I don't want to wait. I want to see you in love pronto.
Anyways
He showed me a little dream box/ trinket box looking thing and a super vague Keychain with no further explanation... so... there's that I guess.
I can't quite decide if "Don't make ill informed guesses" was a tongue-in-cheek pike at me or if it was genuine advice to his soulmate? He just loves to not explain things.
Now let's begin the monster read.
So. The first row of cards
I asked the question, "what the fuck was May 13th and what was it's purpose in regards to your connection"
Important is what it was lol. I interpret this as them finding their footing and this being the starting point of the genuine foundation being layer. Like they've been manifesting eachother for a while but May 13th marked the start of them making the real life changes in their actual lives that will be the set up for them meeting.
The seven of coins is about thoughtful planning and creating security/ stable plan. The tower is essentially ripping away anything and everything that was built on unstable foundation and challenging/ testing your character (an extremely rude awakeing if you will). Judgement is releasing the past so you can rise above it and confronting yourself as you are (Also legit awakening) the queen of coins is financial security and self confidence in your abilities. Ten of coins is prosperity and abundance and most of all, stability. Eight of wands is explosion of potential and rapid movement. Temperance is awareness and balance between physical and spiritual. It's also that quiet peace where you find balance.
So. Seeing all those cards it really does seem like maybe his soulmate took on something new that could lead straight to union? Same for yoongi. I'd like to analyze and recent or new-ish habits or hobbies he's picked up?
Moving right along though. I asked what the 13th did for each of them in their personal life and personal journey. Kinda like what came as a result of that energy? Let's start with yoongles
This was really intresting to me. I think he definitely gained some form of clarity about the situation with that sun card. The 5 of cups tells me that either he was kinda forced to confront some of his flaws in a way that he was trying to avoid or he had to consciously let go of something dear to him? Could be something he had to leave behind because it crumbled with the tower moment but he didn't see it coming or didn't know that it was time to part with it? With that queen of wands though fits beautifully with the sun! Its like he's found warmth after a long winter. Definitely found a spark of compassion and generosity from a place of happiness and love rather than anger, fear, obligation or pitty.
I asked for clarity cards/ anything else that may 13th signified bringing in and we got the 2 of cups and 10 of swords. I have two thoughts. Either he let go of a relationship that he was already in because he didn't feel as though they were particularly compatible anymore (Also ties into the above section) OR the 13th had made him very much consciously aware of his soulmates incoming status and he is now preparing and working on himself for when this person comes. The 10 of swords would be him releasing the past and the pain and any ill fitting behavior that don't vibe with him any longer. Yellow really seems to be working for him by the way.
Soulmate time
Lol. All signs point to his soulmate genuinely starting a new venture. New creative pursuit that will bring them good money. 10 of pentacles is abundance, prosperity and stability. The ace of wands is a new creative spark and passion and it's the first big steps into something new. The 2 of wands is "the world is in the palm of your hands" vibes. Choices need to be made swiftly and with the ace of wands I think they will be. With the heirophant too, it will be a well informed decision because they've been manifesting this and has been searching for all the possible information.
As for clarity, we have the moon. Damn. Soulmates been doing that shadow work. Dredging up all their bullshit and getting rid of it while still taking the time to sit with it and release it so nothing is unresolved. Also probably extra creative due to all the emotional baggage being thrown out. (Definitely helping with the ace of wands vibes tbh)
Now for the bad boys in the middle
The question I asked is what those individual changes (detailed in the last two sections) will bring for the bond and I just can with them. These fuckers. I am so invested in their love story bc it's so... them? And just so fucking ROMANTIC. UGH I CAN'T.
Back to the point. High priestess, 4 of wands and the lovers. The high priestess is deep knowing and insane intuition, the 4 of wands is the purest joy and marriage and the lovers is well, the lovers.a magical union.
FUCK DUDE I NEED THIS TO BE A ROMCOM.
For the row of bottom cards
I asked if they had anything at all to add so I'm gonna explain each card individually bc I think they could be individual tid bits of shit.
Knight of coins is good news about finances/ money looking promising and organized work (also dependability!!). Death is all about transformation, the beginning of a new chapter and accepting in order to move foward. Ace of coins is spiritual and material abundance and also a reminder to keep grounded. Page of swords is confidence, important news coming and really good insight! Roots out secrets or hidden things like a truffle pig. The star is promising potential, healing and guidance from an enexpected place. The two of cups is a soul connection, love, intuition especially in regards to another person and a good bind. The emperor is self awareness, foresight, fearlessness to achieve a goal and confidence. Eight of coins rev is poor discipline and skating by on low effort.
Now to the sides!
Yoongi is the left, soulmate is the right.
So, let's begin with yoongi. The first two cards are anything he wants to say to his soulmate. Wheel of fortune and three of swords reverse. I take this as "its all in divine time/ it's destiny" (wheel of fortune) and "trust your intuition. It's okay to get hurt, you just need to remember you can always pick yourself up" (3of swords rev.)
We have now cards that I asked what he was learning through this process/ in this time. Be positive and first step.
The last two cards are affirmations he wants to give his soulmate.
"When I introduce joy to a situation, I change the vibrational frequency of what's happening around me" and "directing my focus onto what's thriving creates more of what I want"
Now for soulmates cards (same structure)
Strength and eight of swords. "You're stronger than you think. Take every part of yourself and acknowledge it. You're a force to be reckoned with" (strength) and (soulmate snapped at him on this) "the only thing holding you captive is you."
Now we have peer pressure (I think soulmate is learning to say "fuck you" and "fuck off" to people who have a set idea of how everyone should be living their lives), emotional healing and open your arms to receiving.
Then we have "its good to feel good" (lol I feel like yoongi definitely needs this one) and "when I connect to the spiritual realm, I open the door to recieve divine guidance, clear direction, and great wisdom"
The last stretch my friends.
So. Completion, leave behind the things that no longer serve you. Exist in the present and don't keep mulling over the past or any future happenings. Magic, pay attention to the magic around you. Listen for the signs of the universe and take them as they come (essentially listen to divine guidance) . Be open minded but logical as well. Luminous warrior, try focusing on the good in yourself instead of berating yourself for every small flaw. Spiritual path, self explanatory. The blade, your power can be a weapon when used willy nilly (most often wounding the wielder) or it can heal. Don't fear it but also consider how you choose to utilize it. The give away, be greaful for the sake of being greatful for it, not because you want something in return. The rain maker, manifestation station. Create with the tools you have because you have everything you need in order to manifest. "Don't take life personally"
Now we have heaven sent.
""Let yourself be helped" assistance is coming your way so act on it and say yes"
" This Oracle also comes with the message that you are to trust in the things that you feel and say to others without knowing why. It moves them. You might not understand, but through trust you are allowing yourself not to overthink and censor yourself. As such you are able to become a vessel through which the spiritual gift can be passed on to others. Don't block yourself. Let life happen through you. Only benefit can come from this."
And free from judgment, free to love
" If you have been asking life for a solution to a specific difficulty you have been having, this Oracle comes with the message that a solution is in gestation right now. This situation is already being sorted out and the resolution will come to fruition very soon. Hold tight and wait for the eminent birth of that resolution."
" This Oracle also brings you a message about love. You may find that you are loving, or soon will love, in a different way. You may worry about this love, given that it defies what you have known or been taught about love. Perhaps you are becoming able to love another tremendously, even though you don't have much of a personal relationship with them. You might question if this love is real. It is real Kama it is just happening at a different level to the love and attachment you experience when you are involved in a personal relationship with someone. It is not more or less, it is just a different facet of love. It may be that you are opening up to love the planet and her creatures, including the animals, the ocean dwelling life, your own body, the trees and so on, more than before period you may feel passionately purposeful about giving your time and energy to causes that protect and nurture the Earth and her creatures. You are affirmed in this love too. The universal mother is operating through you to nurture life. She will support you in your work, so that you can continue To come from love and not become drained, depleted or lost in despair or fear of futility. Instead, you will be energised and expanded by your dedicated service to life."
" Finally, this Oracle has a message for those who may be feeling alone or lonely in a need of greater nurturing from others. You are asked to stop, relax, centre and settle into your body to feel your connection with life itself. The air in your lungs is the same as the air that moves through the trees. The water in your blood is the same water that fills the oceans and is moved by the phases of the moon. The flesh of your body is the same substance as the body of the Earth itself. The heat in your digestive system is the same fire and heat as that from the Sun. Feel this connection, then do something nice for another without agenda. Make a donation, even if just a small one, smile, say a prayer, sent out a good thought or make a wish for another. That's it. You have connected to life again and in doing so, life can connect with you. And so it shall.
And that's all for the cards but but but.
Someone (either my guide or yoongi) was like, "do a song. Do a song. Do a song." And I was like, "oki doki, sounds good.
So I asked what numbers I should try refreshing and then it hit me. The number 14 came up before the reading and it seemed a bit misplaced? So I did 14 shuffles and look what popped up
You gotta be fucking with me.
Istg these fools will actually be the death of me dude. Euphoria is so romantic and I lowkey feels like it describes a bit of what their bond must be like.
YOONGGGIIII
Anyway,
I came back to the platform to be like, "thanks homie" and it was weird bc he was practically pure energy? Like usually I visualize his energy as what his physical body looks like because it's easier to comprehend? But nope, he was just a big shimmery glob of energy.
As I was going to disconnect, a few things happened. I felt tingly and the platform was vibrating almost? So I was like, "hold on, what the fuck is this?"
And then
It hit me
"MIN YOONGI IS YOUR SOULMATE HERE??"
I could tell this fuckin asshole was smug even in his blue glob form.
The color was... blue like yoongi but also a light lavender/ pink kinda vibe. Pretty damn distinct.
I was so stoked and I thought we'd all get to chat and I could yell at his soulmate for being an elusive asshat
But Mr smug butt had different plans.
My dude dropped a little marble thing in my hand and I was like ??? And he was like, "you'll know when you need it" and I was like ?????
My guide took pity on me and said, "it's just a representation on information that you've been given but it isn't the proper time to unpack it yet"
Cool cool so like and energetic zip file that will release itself whenever it damn well pleases? Cool cool cool.
(Asshole)
Anyway, I genuinely think that my excitement of this whole situation must somehow also influence how yoongis energy handles my prodding? Like what the fuck is this marble bullshit?
To top it all off, he gives me a friendly shove off of his platform.
Thanks, buddy.
Now we are here. And as always, I'm left with more questions.
My main take away is that amay 13th through July 28th will be all the foundation and ground work and December 28th 2021 through May 10th (11th? 9th?) 2022 will be a more likely time for physical union and actual relationship stuffs.
Anyone who knows more about astrology please feel free to chime in on this whole Jupiter in Pisces bit! My understanding is super surface level!!
~~~~
That was a big boi and now my thumbs hurt real bad. Hope you were entertained by the chaos.

rosemary thyme milk chocolate
♡a/n♡ remember when i said i tend to write too much when it comes to angst? a new record for this event. i really did so much research for the last few to grasp their characters better so hopefully that it paid off
♡fillings♡
post-timeskip!sakusa kiyoomi x gn!reader + angst + a happy ending + "i dont want us to break up over this, i trust you but i cant believe you" + established relationship + 800 words
♡box of chocolates event♡
as soon as you get home from work, you shower and prepare for your boyfriend to come over, excited to spend the night together since your busy schedules didn’t let you have valentine’s day to yourselves. meanwhile, sakusa is busy at practice to perfect his cross-court shot after the last one he used in a game lost a tide-altering point.
when you’re done, you text him letting him know that you deep cleaned your little studio apartment. you smile remembering how funny he looked standing too tall in an arrangement that seemed too small for him the first time he came over. he waited for you to get all the giggles out of your system before giving you a rare smile.
“that just means there are fewer places for germs to hide and fester” was all he said, but he’s made space for his larger-than-life presence after all the visiting hours he’s logged since then.
you’re so caught up in the memories tucked in every nook and cranny of your home that you don’t notice how much time had passed without so much as a peep from your boyfriend, so you send a follow-up text, wording it carefully to avoid sound annoying only to get… no response.
so you clean up everything you set out for the two of you and cook a single serving of the meal you had planned to share with sakusa, furiously swiping at the fat tears rolling down your face in an attempt to keep them at bay.
meanwhile, sakusa finally realizes how fucking late he is. by the time he gets to your apartment, you’re curled up on the sofa in one of his hoodies and sweats watching “me before you” for the umpteenth time. you take your time getting the door, but his knocking grows too insistent for you to ignore anymore.
when your door cracks open, he takes in your red-rimmed puffy eyes and the silvery tracks on your cheeks glinting beneath the hallway light. his mouth opens to apologize, but you cut him off before he utters a sound.
“do i even matter to you, sakusa?” the fact that you have probable cause to ask and your use of his family name cuts deep enough for him to get an idea of how much he hurt you tonight.
“you do, of course you do. i would much rather lick the floor of a subway bathroom than lose you.” if you weren’t so heartbroken you would’ve laughed at his sad attempt at a joke.
“well it doesn’t fucking seem like it!” scoffing, you turn on your heel and head to your bedroom, leaving him to trail after you like a sad puppy.
“baby, baby, wait, please.”
“just tell me what took up all your time, the time we were supposed to spend together when you told me practice ended hours ago.”
“remember, in the last game against the adlers? my cut shot got stuffed and the point ended up costing us the match. i got so caught up in perfecting it i just messed up this night with you. i’m so so sorry, i’ll make sure it never happens again, just please don’t break up with me i need you.”
“i wish i could say this is the first time you flaked on plans because you stayed late for practice, but it’s not and we planned this night a month ago. a month ago! we promised that because we couldn’t spend the day together, you would come over after practice and we would cook dinner together and do face masks and watch cheesy romcoms and complain about how stupid all of it would sound if it happened in real life. i don’t want us to break up over this, kiyoomi. i love you and i trust you with my life, but i can’t believe you."
the fresh tears spilling from your eyes make sakusa’s eyes shine too. his cheeks grow ruddy as his body shakes with suppressed sobs.
“i, i swear i’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you, p-proving that i’ll put you before my stupidly selfish perfectionism if, if you’ll let m-me.”
you sigh shakily, hiccuping from crying so hard, before slowly opening your arms to him. sakusa doesn’t hesitate to engulf you in a much-needed hug, not a single thought about the bacteria you’re sharing in his mind when he’s so relieved that you’re giving him a second chance.
“let’s go to bed, omi. we’ll talk about this more in the morning after you bring me breakfast in bed.”
“yes, ma’am.” he carries you to bed bridal style, wrapping himself around you and reveling in how perfectly your bodies fit together and how close he was to losing the right to ever feel it again.
