Okay friends of the MDZS/The Untamed fandom
If you've seen my previous post about making lotus root and pork rib soup, you know the journey I've been on. If you'd like to try making the soup yourself, a link to the recipe is toward the end of the OG post. That one got a little long with all the additions and extra advice from friends, but since I've made it again I'm reporting the results. Why I feel the need to do so is beyond me but this is the only genuine cooking I do and I deserve to be proud of every attempt, so if this annoys you, imagine these faces:
Tumblr media
I will give a disclaimer that I had meant to make this soup a week and a half earlier but the mental illness was too strong, so yesterday I forced myself to push through the mental illness anyway so I wouldn't waste too many ingredients (we still wasted some 😔). So, alas, this soup had no ginger and half as much lotus root as desired, plus I forgot to read how much seaweed I was actually supposed to use (way less than what I used), and completely omitted the chopped scallion even though I had it ready because I just. Forgot to actually add it.
We carry on.
In all of my past versions of this soup, I didn't include the rehydrated seaweed. I was advised to give it a go this time and ...well. 😅
Tumblr media
That bowl is a good 9 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep. And I took that photo AFTER adding a liberal amount of seaweed to the pot. Yes, I rehydrated the whole package. I didn't think about anything other than, "I'm finally adding the final step to this recipe I've been following!" and entirely missed that it only calls for 1 cup. [Hold on. Googling how long rehydrated seaweed be stored right now. OMG YOU CAN FREEZE IT THANK HEAVEN.]
Tumblr media
This is me scooping out all the fuckin seaweed that entirely took over the soup 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Remember how I said there was half as much lotus root? Yeah, this is seaweed soup with a hint of pork now. Good luck finding any slices of lotus root.
I had also assumed that this seaweed would be salted (the packaging was NOT in English, but honestly I can't blame the label for this). I had certainly added what I thought was already a generous amount of salt but let's remind ourselves that I am barely a cook by any means. This girl doesn't know shit about how much salt should go into 12 quarts of water to add enough taste. I did go heavy on the goji berries though.
This resulted in the broth being mainly pork and goji berry water :/ if I'd had the motivation to go out and buy fresh ginger and remembered the scallion I'm sure it would've been better (and more salt obviously), but hopefully I'll be in better spirits next time I make an attempt. I learned a lot from this one.
Tumblr media
The one thing I am proud of though?
Look at how clear that broth is. The oily bubbles are from the meat, and I also apologize I don't know if it's my phone's camera or my photography skills, but if it doesn't look clear to you I promise it does irl! I didn't use any of the cooking wine or soaking the meat with the ginger like @of-sevenseas suggested, but just by following the process in the recipe and making extra sure I washed the meat well this time, it seemed to work out!
Lessons learned:
Making soup while having a bad mental illness day is not a failed endeavor, but watch out.
Don't do this without ginger. What are you doing. That soup is wet stuff in hot water.
ADD MORE SALT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YOU CANNOT BE THIS WHITE.
Read the recipe including measurements. Cooking is, of course, more improvisational than baking, but there's a reason we follow guidelines. Especially when we're rookies, still.
Next time we're gonna try the cooking wine and ginger thing with the meat. It sounds like an adventure.
Celebrate your wins!!!! I did have a success in this attempt!
I also did very well keeping the cat away from this whole 7 hour process, which is the greatest success of all.

(Obligatory kitty pic, since I mentioned her. Meet Lucy everyone. She's hiding under my blankets from the loud scary generator outside my window.)

MY LOVE do you have any thoughts or hcs to spare about solarflare protecting each other from the press?? -lambofzenith
LAMB MY BELOVED I am not sure if this will even post since I'm still out in the middle of nowhere lucky to even get one bar but FOR YOU I WILL TRY
Bloom is actually fairly clueless about any issues related to the press in s1 because Stella tends to downplay it and Alfea does have protections against it on campus(I figure a school with multiple royal students would at least have a strict "no pics without permission" policy)
Also Bloom isn't on social media much because screens give her a headache. Stella made her get Magix twitter but she never checks it and the only people she follows are the Winx, so she doesn't even see the trends there. Stella pretends to be annoyed with how out of the loop Bloom is but she secretly kind of likes getting to decide for herself when her best friend finds out things about her
After the whole Diaspro fiasco Bloom becomes the media's favorite punching bag for a while. It could have been worse since Bloom is basically a cryptid with no record of her existence before she started attending Alfea, but she gets identified eventually and it's Not Good
She only finds out about it after the Battle for Magix and it really messes her up. That's when Stella finally decides to share her own experiences with this stuff so Bloom will feel less alone. It helps but now Bloom has graduated from self-loathing mode to being ready to burn the paps on sight
Bloom never actually makes any attemp to tell her side of the story with the Diaspro fiasco since she's afraid of making Sky look bad. Sky doesn't talk much about his private life either so Bloom is still kind of seen as a homewrecker for a good while afterwards? The only clue most people have about the actual details is one passive agresssive tweet from Stella that she deleted not long after she posted it
"If I were dating a naive civilian girl I simply wouldn't lie about my identity and keep my engagement from her. RIP to Prince Sky but I'm different"
Bloom refuses to start engaging in actual PR but Stella and the other social media savy Winx(Musa and Tecna) do hatch a scheme to improve Bloom's image by including her in their own pictures and videos from time to time. It actually works somewhat! She's still a problematic cryptid but that girl-next-door charm wins over a lot of people
The press gets really bad towards Stella after her princess ball. Bloom has always been protective in those instances but after that point she starts actively choosing violence instead of just threatening it. She's very proud of her collection of broken cameras
After Bloom breaks up with Sky, Stella starts pushing her to come forward with the truth about how it all went down, but Bloom still doesn't feel comfortable slandering his good name. It's not until after she starts dating Stella that she agrees to do it. If only because she's worried about it affecting Stella's image too
Much to Bloom's surprise the people of Solaria end up loving her? Turns out on that planet she's mainly known as the cute girl that sometimes shows up in their princess's posts, is willing to fight the press to protect said princess, and was also part of the group that helped save their king. Yeah, she's good in their book when's the wedding?
(In SH2HA she and Brandon both quickly become Solaria's sweethearts. The prince- and princess consorts are totally seen as a power duo, and you can bet they ended up making movies about how the 2 kids from humble beginnings stole the princess's heart)

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ravn:
selfie game, strong! between his insane visuals and like-minded camera angles, you're never let down by his pretty selfies that he sends you throughout the day. mainly paired with his chin to his chest while he's pouting and a silly caption.
if you think his selfies are good, the way he takes couple pictures? chef's kiss. you're never low on pics to post to social media or to put on your fridge. even the embarrassing ones, but he'll whine about those later.
matching onesies or couple pajamas.
walks up to you just to rest his chin on your head or shoulder and breathe you in.
holds your hand in the way that his entire hand envelops the width of your fingers while you hold on to his thumb.
asks for you to buy him flowers more than he gets them for you. you can't help but want to see his eyes sparkle at the sight of a dozen roses, though.
is probably biting his lip unwillingly but also on purpose. it's a habit you learn to enjoy. he does it when he's focused too, so you always know if he's paying attention or not. as confident as he is, he blushes when you call him out for it.
wraps his arms all the way around your torso and picks you up in a hug just because he can.
will see something out of the corner of his eye and make a whole circle to turn towards it. usually it's a gift of a random item he thinks you'll adore, and you always do. you'll gain a little collection of things you never imagined you'd own being with him.
genuinely not used to physical contact and tends to be rougher than he means to be. he's a temperate boy that has a habit of patting your head or kissing you a little too hard because he's in love and is still learning.
talks your ears off when you're alone. if you don't pull his beanie over his face, he won't shut up.
comes across as intimidating, but is literally the most considerate person. like he will physically reel you backwards just to gently push away an eyelash from your cheek and kiss your lips.
big pant, big shirt. aka his and your big pant and big shirt. sharing is caring. he gets butterflies in his stomach watching your hand caress over the clothes hanging in his closet as you search for something to wear.
unintentional - but completely intentional - lip locking. like he'll bend over to reach across your form laying on the bed when you’re distracted and he’ll be right in your face. before you know it, you're sitting up and your lips are colliding. especially loves doing this in public because your warm face is his rapid beating heart.
will admit to others how much he loves you but will be so stubborn behind closed doors. says things like "are you sure we're talking about the same person? me, wait— me? I'm in love with you? no— no, you're right. I'm guilty."
pouty boy with big, pleading eyes all the time.
runs his fingertips over the lines of your hands. you catch him mimicking them on his own and smiling like an idiot when they match.
take his flannels. do it.
late nights where he bursts through your door while you're sleeping and shakes you awake to run a few lyrics by you. always second guesses himself, but when he sees that you're actually taken back by the words, he gets all smiley bolts back to work.
snuggles into your pillow until you lay down with him, then you're his true cuddle buddy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seoho:
dramatically pulls his coats off to put over your shoulders. his constant body heat can warm you up immediately.
takes you on movie dates just to sit in the very back and have heavy make outs with you. like panting, fingers laced in each other's hair, bodies fighting to get into each other’s seats — make out sessions.
his! laugh! the way you can get him to laugh is definitely one of his favorite things in the world, and his smile could light up a room. also has the tendency to laugh at you even when you're not being funny.
pushes his face into the crook of your neck to fall asleep. his breath on your skin can make you feel weird and loved at the same time, but his sound sleeps are worth it. also pushes you to lay on your back so he can curl up beside you and rub his forehead against you.
more chaotic dates where he does things you're afraid of just to show you not to be so scared. hugs you like a koala for the rest of the day.
matching outfits like crazy. even down to the accessories. loves spoiling you with new outfits even if you tell him you hate getting gifts so often.
hugs your waist and lifts you up to reach something instead of getting it down himself.
will have the same pic of you and him set as everything. his phone’s lockscreen, wallpaper, his laptop’s lockscreen, wallpaper, profile pics, it’s the only post on his social media.
so in love that it can come across as icky. blushing cheeks, sweaty palms, a bounce in his step.
mocks you like you’re already an old married couple. but his loving banter comes off as charming.
the saying 'know you like the back of my hand' had to have been written by him, himself, because he does, in fact, know you that well. he knows the different sounds of your sneezes - aka whether you have a cold or not. he knows the change of your morning voice versus the tone you have in the middle of the day. anything going through your mind, this man has down pact.
random night calls where he just goes 'I'm at the door, let me in." because his hands are too full to reach for his key. stumbles in with bags full of snacks and treats just to have you both sit on the floor eating and ranting until dawn.
the softest kisses. and I mean the softest kisses. like michael angelo adding details to his paintings, type soft. you can hardly ever feel them and barely knows he's there until he starts laughing or vibrating from the sudden eye contact you're giving him.
would rather waddle side to side in a back hug than let you go to walk somewhere alone.
has a list of everything he loves to share with you over time. movies, music, random memos in his phone.
included in those phone memos are literally so many details about you that it can make your eyes roll. he has the smallest details noted and little asterisks to remind him to write them down in a physical journal one day, but you might have to do that for him.
a lot quieter than he makes himself out to be. is basically a ghost when you're around him. the only way you really ever know where he is is if he's lugging around a bluetooth speaker with music playing.
messy! hair! he will literally refuse to brush his own hair until you do it for him. loves it more if you just use your fingers to comb his locks.
squinted eyes because he's smiling at you so hard that he'll probably bump into something in the process.
lets you hold both sides of his face in your palms. especially if he's cold. sometimes you can squish.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leedo:
being with gunhak — it is literally a love novel.
warm eyes that sparkle when he looks at you. you notice it and keep quiet just to bask in his affection, but it’s always the first thing people mention when they talk about your relationship.
can’t help but reach his hand across the table to hold yours while you eat.
scrunches his nose when you say silly things.
the most attentive person when you’re telling a story. will sit with his chin in his palm and his eyes going between your gaze and lips as you speak. makes constant “mhm” and “ohh” sounds to let you know he’s right in the story with you. stops you to laugh at the way you say a specific word. you both spend hours sitting somewhere together just telling stories back and forth until the sun rises or sets.
can’t go a single day without throwing you over his shoulder and carrying you around.
has his hand on your lower back all day. like all day. in public, at home, in bed while you're sleeping. as long as his hand is on your back, you know he’s next to you.
his face is always a hotter temperature than the rest of his body, especially if you’ve been looking at him all day. crimson cheeks, red-tipped ears, reddened lips because he can’t stop kissing you.
sleeps with you laying in between his legs and your head on his chest. you fall asleep to the beat of his heartbeat while he plays with your fingers and listens to your breathing.
puts you in the shopping cart before any items just so he can wheel you around and listen to you laugh when he pretends he’s going to ram into something.
will pull the shirt/jacket/top he was wearing over his head and toss it to you to wear or hug if he’s leaving so you don’t miss him too much.
isn’t extremely good with speaking words to express what he wants to say, so oftentimes you find little notebook pages folded around the house with love notes written on them. him telling you how much he appreciates how much you do for him. him saying ‘i love you’ in different colored ink in different kinds of ways. sometimes a smashed flower in between the pages just for added scents. completely a cheesy romantic with love notes.
likes to let you drive so he can put his elbow against the window and stare at you from across the front of the vehicle. while you’re focused he’s grinning and giggling because it’s ‘super adorable’.
sends flowers to your work at the most inappropriate times in order to keep anyone that’s been flirting with you in their place. very subtle about being protective, and thankfully never has to make large leaps to have others understand you’re unavailable. thinks it’s the best thing in the world when someone is eyeing you and you come running to him to dramatically toss your arms around his neck and place a kiss on his lips.
enjoys having cleverly matching pieces. a pair of earrings shared between the two of you. matching bracelets. soft cotton shirts you can wear on your days off. two blankets of the same designs but different colors.
severely embraces breaking his shyness when it comes to pda. will pull you into his arms and kiss you while walking down the street. lets you sit on his lap in a busy place. carries you on his back around big stores.
works out with you around him. if he wants to do sit ups, you're holding his feet. if he wants to do push ups, you're laying under him giving him kisses every time he comes down.
forehead kisses. temple kisses. cheek kisses. literally all of the softest kisses.
terribly difficult to wake up, but the sound of your voice will draw his lids to open in an instant so he can see your smiling face.
super nervous about the entire relationship so you have to guide him at a reasonable pace. hold his hand first, kiss him first, even say 'i love you' first, but he'll return it all in a beat after you express your love.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hwanwoong:
would be the one to have that situation where you met by running into each other at full force and had to laugh it off despite how much pain you were both in. he does something like offer to buy you a drink as an apology and then he never leaves your side.
sits with him between your legs and his back pressed into your front so you can hug him around his waist and lean on him.
smells are a huge deal to him. hoards light scented candles and renames them with comic titles or references to your relationship just to make you laugh when he calls them out in conversations.
runs his fingers through your hair as a way of showing affection on a regular basis. if you’re in public, he’ll sneak in a quick kiss just because he isn’t huge on pda.
but not liking pda doesn't mean he won't cling to you behind closed doors. he can't go very long without brushing his skin against your own, even in a subtle way.
physically capable of making meals on his own, or with you, but he's too lazy. enjoy the take out! also huge on getting snack foods to feed you in a romantic way without it being intentional.
quiet. very quiet. he enjoys silence while holding you or waking up in the midst of the night just to hear you sleeping peacefully. it's his solace.
although he gets whiny, he will let you do anything you want to him. test out makeup looks on him, play with his hair, make him dress up for you. just as long as you can reciprocate by going on sweet dates with him or let him read his favorite stories to you, he's all for it.
gets you random, very personal gifts. his attentiveness is insane, so he'll give you something like a better-formed pillow to help you sleep or a journal of your silly inside jokes to keep around when you have to be apart.
pretends he's not emotional during the day only to spill the deepest things to you at night. you're his diary and he loves you for that.
but with his distant state, you're still the one to notice things first. if he's too tired, if he's hungry - you know the tell-tale signs and can quietly get him back on his feet. you’re basically his weakness and muse all at once.
he might be the last one to wake up, but that's just because he enjoys knowing you slept by his side all night.
tilts your head to the side to kiss you because he thinks it's romantic.
doesn't care who you think you are, he will give you a piggyback ride.
does that thing where you'll be doing something important and he'll be sat next to you whispering jokes into your ear to keep you from getting stressed. also has to hold your hand the entire time or else he'll get up.
intuitive to your emotions and feelings. if you're in pain somewhere, he's in pain. if you're laughing, he's laughing.
the most pleasing, deep morning voice ever. doesn't even have to try. it's like two octaves lower than his regular voice and will always give you the shivers.
instead of big things for dates he does tasks like have all of your house chores done when you return or studies up on your school work to help you out. it's his way of showing affection and appreciation. but he does bigger things too like cover your bathroom in flower petals with a nice bath running when you get home.
has a tendency of saying your name the most when he’s sleeping.
makes choreography and dedicates them to you all the time. will tug you into the practice room to show you moves. but then he's giggling uncontrollably and starts complimenting you until you kiss him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Keonhee:
records everything all the time. has backup storage just so he can film everything you both do or take a thousand pictures. spends literal hours printing out the pictures to make photo albums or put them on his wall so he never has to go a moment without seeing you. carries around a physical, mini album just to stare at while he’s traveling or feels lonely.
loves showering with you. will take the showerhead off of the wall and hold it over you while making lightsaber sounds.
loves the sound of you saying his name more than anything. when he's happy, upset, angry - just a call of his name can settle his emotions. and maybe a kiss too.
will sit or lay somewhere and just stare at you with a big, goofy grin on his face and loving sparkles in his eyes for no particular reason.
claps your hands together before he holds them.
makes music playlists titled with hysterical names that are more distracting than the chaos of the actual list. names them with emojis and such to see if you can code his secret love messages.
his lips are always redder than normal around you. quite literally doesn't know when or how to stop kissing you.
cannot comprehend how he could love someone more than you. it's that dumb love like he'll trip over his own two feet, say your name instead of his own when ordering something, or even intentionally get something he hates just because you like it.
changes the color of the led lights to define the mood. happy, sad, sexy time. the room is a rainbow every week.
contrary to popular belief of the cancer man, he's not clingy until you tell him to be. postpones all physical contact to the last moment when you ask why he's distant and give him consent to holding you whenever he wants. then he never lets you go.
has to be even in height with you ninety percent of the day, even if you're off by a few centimeters. helps you sit on the kitchen counter, hunches to kiss you, lifts you up by your waist.
being on opposite ends of a room while he's doing hand gestures and silently singing you the song stuck in his head.
his most genuine habit is giving away all of his emotions in his eyes. one glance and you know exactly how he feels, even if he isn't speaking about it aloud.
thinks being out in the rain is extremely romantic but will pull you back inside at the first drop because "you might get a cold".
hardly wears clothes when he starts getting seriously comfortable with you. no shirt, maybe some pajama pants, maybe some socks with random patterns on them. if he gets hot at any point, shield your eyes.
pouts without actually pouting. you'll hear a little huff from beside you instead.
put your belongings into the rips of his jeans instead of his pockets. they're 'safe'.
visibly shudders when he gets to hold your hand after a long day.
so many shoulder kisses you can't even keep up with them anymore.
you have a collection of him scrunching his nose when you're trying to get soft couple pictures because he can't take it seriously.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Xion:
if you fall asleep on him at any point during the day, he'll wrap you in his jacket or a blanket around you and carry you to bed. he'll let you rest comfortably while he lays beside you and watches you sleep while running his fingers across your face in a loving way.
sleeps holding your hand no matter what position you're both in.
dates are basically: carnivals to sit at the top of the ferris wheel and make out peacefully, picnics in the park to pick flowers and put them in your hair, going to bookstores just to shuffle through the comics and mangas.
bites you. slowly. he’s not the type to just bite into your skin randomly, more like you’ll get big puppy eyes and know he’s up to something before you feel a little nibble.
competitive in an ‘i’ll let you win if you give me a kiss’ way. guess who always wins. sike it’s him because he can use it as an excuse to make you pouty and then kiss you until you can’t even pretend to be angry anymore.
loves singing to you and only you.
hand-makes you jewelry because he finds it more endearing than buying them. plus it's sentimental.
hates blushing in front of others, but you can make him blush from a few words. loves the pet names you come up with. they sound like common conversation pieces so no one questions why you said them until they notice his face is nearly crimson.
unintentionally does romantic stuff. plays ballads over a speaker while prancing around until you take his hand and dance with him. finds a rose bush and gently clips a single flower to put in a vase for you. absentmindedly kisses your knuckles when he sees you for the first time in a while.
has the hardest time showing emotions, but does have the tendency to cry when parting or send you chain texts about how much he misses you when he's away.
random cheek kisses throughout the day.
sweater paws because you're both wearing his large hoodies and holding hands.
has more soft objects than you've ever witnessed a person own. now they're partially yours, so choose a stuffed animal.
random store dates where you go inside and find the strangest items you both fall in love with and get to put on display at home. you know when you go to someone's house and see an object that makes you question how it got there? he gets a lot of those for the two of you. 'conversation pieces', he says.
remembers cheesy quotes to tell you throughout the day to make you smile. if he wasn't in love, he'd never think twice about memorizing them.
probably thinking about kissing you every second of every day, but he uses his kisses wisely.
steals your shirts to sleep with when he's away because they smell like you.
cannot handle more than holding your hand in public at first, but he'll learn to love pda very quickly if you enjoy it.
where has all his phone's storage gone? oh, they're just pictures of you sleeping.
so adorned by you that his eyes literally sparkle, even if you're in his peripheral.

The Rewatch Academy: Episode 6 of Season 1
Tumblr media
“The Day That Wasn’t”
I am in no way a good analyst so my little analysis and speculations probably sound a bit goofy or pretty wild and probably mean nothing at all. Everything I put into this post about each episode is purely what I noticed or thought, whether it’s funny or serious. I will be making jokes, so please just leave it at that (in no way am I trying to make fun of an actor and or character!) I am also in no way saying I noticed this stuff first. This is just what I noticed while rewatching these episodes
☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂
| 1x01 | 1x02 | 1x03 | 1x04 | 1x05 |
☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂ ☂
Tumblr media
☂ Klaus is lucky that he never got the briefcase shot up
☂ *Hears Klaus flush the toilet and talk* Luther: Oh good, you’re up
☂ Also Luther gave Klaus about two seconds to get up before hounding him again on getting downstairs
☂ Sounds like Tom’s accent slipped a little bit when he said “three days”
☂ Yeah they needed to have a family meeting right away and yet they took the time to go get coffee or at least order it and have it delivered
☂ “Old bastard” and “Our little psycho” 
☂ I still don’t get at this point how they wouldn’t believe Five. Look at him, he himself is evidence of his time traveling! He was gone for 45 years, but to them it was only 17. Either way they try to grasp at that, Five would look older if he made it back without messing up. He knew about their father’s death without anyone telling him. I really think all the mistrust comes from the way he looks and the way he acts (they obviously believe he’s just crazy right now)
☂ “What did Five even see?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☂ Also throw back to 1x02 and I didn’t realized this until now but Five doesn’t have his tie
Tumblr media
☂ I know it’s for the title card gag but no one questions the random umbrella falling and popping open
☂ I aspire to be as sarcastic as Hazel
☂ So where exactly is The Commission HQ at? Is it a random location in the real world? If so then wouldn’t normal people happen to stumble upon it? What about their location in space in the comics? Is this in space?? All we know is that it’s in/based off of the year 1955
☂ “I’d like to discuss the logistics of my family’s safety at your earliest convenience.” He cuts right to what’s most important to him. No “How will you stop the apocalypse?” or “What’s my job?” and even “How will my body replacement work?”
☂ Five sounds almost like he’s snapped back into a work mindset. He's suddenly polite and calm with The Handler. Maybe being back in a work environment has made his brain automatically switch into being more professional. However he might also be acting this way to try to throw her off of him being antsy with a plan
☂ Here's some Commission posters shown throughout 1x06
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
☂ One of us, one of us, one of us-
☂ So basically The Commission makes up history? How do they know what to do and when to make something happen? How do they know it’s right? And what’s The Commission supposed to do when the world ends? Haven't they already fixed stuff in the past or are there just continuous time loops so they need to make sure things happen over and over again? If multiple historical events happen with multiple ways they are made, then which one gets to be in the original timeline??
☂ Dot: No hard feelings! 😁
Tumblr media
Ma’am does it look like he’s going to accept that
☂ Wait why are Hazel and Cha-Cha considered the best Temporal Assassins if Five was/is the best?
☂ Well Five has the job of taking down the Hindenburg again but this time from behind a desk. So it’s possible to accomplish “corrections” without actually having assassins do the work. So I guess there’s just so many timelines that they need to fix every single one of them over and over? That sounds like a pain in the ass
☂ TUA portraits!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
☂ Y’know I have to agree with Allison on this one. Vanya was left out, however she’s offering to talk with her about the important family matter and Vanya is just denying it. I get she’s upset, but her sister is offering to include her. After Vanya leaves Allison immediately wants to go after her to talk with her. On the other hand Allison should have told her it was an emergency meeting and that they didn’t have the time to ask Vanya to join them
☂ Klaus seems genuinely concerned/upset for Vanya
Tumblr media
☂ “We need to figure out what causes the apocalypse. Now, there are loads of possibilities. Nuclear war, asteroids.” Wow spot on, Luther! I can’t believe they actually included foreshadowing for both apocalypses (even though technically it was a chunk of the moon, not an asteroid.) I wonder how much foreshadowing for S3 was put into S2.......
☂ I know it’s big joke about Luther and the moon, but the poor guy just really believes that he was on the moon for an important reason. I mean if I were in his shoes I would believe him too since he had to send a lot of daily updates and samples
☂ “Klaus shockingly has a point. What gives us a win this time?” Shhhh careful Diego, he’s right behind you
Tumblr media
☂ Luther is initially the only one onboard with Five on trying to stop the apocalypse. All the others want to go off and do their own thing before the world ends. He tries to get The Umbrella Academy back together to work as a team, but his leadership skills are now severely lacking. Do people *cough cough* mainly people who hate him *cough cough* overlook Luther wanting to also get his family together to stop the apocalypse with his family? Definitely. 
☂ “We need the full force of the Academy to stand a chance.” Well golly gee, Allison, what did did Luther just try to do? Was that not him trying to round up all of The Umbrella Academy to stop the apocalypse? 
☂ Even though Vanya is ranting, how does she not hear all the creaking metal and shaking cars?
☂ *it’s sunny around them but just the block they’re walking on is rainy until she calms down* “ThAt’S a CoInCiDeNcE.” 
☂ The hall floor and Diego’s floor are so dusty
Tumblr media
☂ It’s sweet that Diego wants Klaus to get clean in a safe way instead of going cold turkey 
☂ Dot, what does “utter silence” mean to you?
☂ “Look at you, deadly little thing.” You’re not wrong, but I don’t think he appreciates being called “thing”
Tumblr media
☂ Such a smug smile
Tumblr media
☂ So how does Five know all of this about Karl and his son? Does it talk about Otto never washing his hands in the file? That seems like an oddly specific detail but I guess in a case file it gives as many details as possible for the worker to figure out who needs to get assassinated
☂ There are a few cog references all relating to The Commission, so I wonder if this is a nod to “Teenagers” or if they’re just using this terminology
☂ Odd tattoos (sorry for the super blurry pic)
Tumblr media
☂ “Can I ask you a cuckoo bananas question?” Hazel is such a fun guy
☂ “Wouldn’t it be nice to kill who you want for a change?” You mean like straight up unhinged murder? 
☂ The first time I watched this Hazel and Cha-Cha scene I for sure thought that Hazel was a dead man
☂ This scene just absolutely breaks my heart 💔
Tumblr media
☂ *skips 25:24-27:42*
☂ Diego is just so accepting to everything Klaus is saying
☂ I’m sorry, are we suddenly on the set of The Phantom of the Opera?
Tumblr media
☂ Diego, I think you’re forgetting a very important person in your life who you let down too who is also dead......(poor Ben can’t believe what his brother just said so he leaves)
☂ “Ordinary is not a word I’d use to describe you.” You’re right, it’s “Extra Ordinary” ha! Sorry Vanya, I had to use that joke
☂ Well at least we know Five ate a sandwich 
☂ How exciting! The same division that made a simple candy taste like a candy from the past, but technically it’s not the past since The Commission HQ is based in 1955, is building a human body! That sounds so promising 
☂ Sooooo whatever happened to Five’s new body? Is it just sitting in a lab somewhere?? Or is The Handler just lying about it to try to get Five to stay at The Commission?
☂ With the amount of time Five was staring at the suit, it obviously hurt him to know that while he has a new body within reach, he’s not going to get it because he’s about to leave
☂ “Course it’s a bit easier to see from 30,000 feet.” What is she talking about Reconnaissance aircraft? There was no mention of aircraft though so why would she bring that up? My closest guess is that she’s referring to strategic bombing in general, or even the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
☂ It sounds like Five suddenly has a New York accent when he says “operator” when talking to The Handler about Gloria
☂ Fuck you, Veggie Tales Hargreeves
☂ *skips 36:47-39:48*
☂ Well there’s your hit, Klaus
Tumblr media
☂ I love the camera moving with Klaus as he falls and the transition into Vietnam
☂ “Lock and load, Charlie’s away!” Wikipedia’s definition of a “Charlie” is  an American military slang referring to the Viiet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers
☂ Klaus desperately calling out for a medic hurts my heart
☂ Well Luther if you had left then your body wouldn’t be the way it is now
☂ *fucking skips 45:41-50:00* 
Tumblr media
☂ Ooooh I just really love the entirety of the “Kill Of The Night” scene! If you listen to the lyrics it’s about someone luring someone into a trap to get revenge because they messed with the wrong person (it’s also about love but we’re going to ignore that part). I personally believe it’s aimed at The Commission from Five because the entire time it plays he’s messing things up for them and in some way it’s like a little bit of revenge from him
☂ Why is Gloria confused on who Hazel and Cha-Cha are? Hasn’t she heard their names a ton of times especially since they’re some of the best assassins?
☂ How did Five know which tubes to put the messages in? 
☂ You can see at this part how Five immediately gets anxious and antsy. He has a wild look in his eyes. From this point onwards he’s constantly moving, shaking with energy, anticipation, and probably a little bit of anger
Tumblr media
☂ “You’re a great disappointment to me.” That’s definitely not the first time he’s heard that
☂ “I don’t belong anywhere thanks to you. You made me a killer!” The first part of that stings. Obviously he feels like he doesn’t belong anywhere, but again I think has to do with the whole “good” and “bad” thing that’s going on. He feels like he doesn’t belong at home because he’s “bad” and has done a lot of dark stuff to get home (it doesn’t help that Luther voiced his acknowledgment of this  to Five and now he has that in his mind that Luther knows and somewhat views him as “bad”). Five 100% feels shame in what he has done, and definitely has an issue of coming back to his family with blood on his hands form what he has done. He doesn’t belong in The Commission anymore because he doesn’t want to stay there to do their dirty work to kill or give out kill orders. He’s done with that or at least wants to be done with that life.
The last statement though is Five taking his anger and guilt about being becoming an assassin out on The Handler. She brought him into The Commission, which in turn he became the best assassin across The Space-Time Continuum. It’s not something he’s proud of, and he never enjoyed killing (as much as I want it to be the DNA alteration I just don’t think it exists in the show or at least not yet). However The Handler replies with “You were always a killer. I just pointed you in a direction.” which you can immediately tell has struck a chord with Five. For the briefest second he looks taken aback and his eyes ever so slightly open wider in shock, whether he took that as the truth or just a terrible accusation isn’t exactly clear. Either way he doesn’t like being accused or hearing the truth out loud of always being able to be murderous, a killer. 
I believe it’s a mixture of The Handler just trying to get into his head and a combination of the truth. Reginald trained The Umbrella Academy to use brute force, but that doesn’t mean Five had killed anyone but he was definitely violent when it came to stopping bad guys (not to mention in the pilot script he was called a “Ruthless little war machine” after violently attacking and decapitating a bunch of mannequins)
☂ Diego: I’m going to go kill Hazel and Cha-Cha!........Riiiiight after I get done walking with my mom in the park
☂ He’s so happy to see Klaus again 
Tumblr media
☂ ✨Gremlin✨
Tumblr media
☂ Who exactly does Five owe a debt to? Maybe his family after accidentally leaving them and now he wants to save them? Or is it a singular person?  
☂ Ouch! Now that’s what I call a problem later!
Tumblr media
☂ 
Tumblr media
☂ Five using “Ya’ll” is weird to hear
☂ Five is talking to his siblings like he knows what’s been happening but in reality he’s rarely been at home so how would he know
☂ I love that Five doesn't even answer Diego at the end and instead just stares at his siblings

Hi 👋
Hello and welcome to whatever the hell this is my simblr. My name is Ennie. I’ve had this blog since the start of TS4 and I’ve been creating poses for 3 years. So, I’ve been here a while. This simblr is a lot of things. Mainly a chaotic hot mess.
This simblr centers around John and Brian. They’re doofuses. They’re also madly in love with each other; they’ve recently gotten engaged! And they have a cat! Her name is Spaghetti. She’s very cute.
Did I mention I make poses? I make male poses! And there’s something for everyone; general, romantic (specifically for m/m couples), little bit of spice, bit of action here and there. Poses! For guys! You know what’s even better?
🚨They’re 100% free! No ads! A rarity! And I post WIPs! Early access without the hassle!🚨
All pose pics are in-game and barely edited (they just have vibrance), so what you see is what you get. If I use render pics, I’ll include in-game too.
I also make stories! Do they have any continuity? Mostly! (One story is a very vague AU but it’s more about the aesthetic more than anything else) That means: yes, that’s canon; it happened. I realize that my early works are very rough compared to now, but I left them alone for prosperity. They vary in length and self-contained (except The Werewolf and the prequel, The Incident and you can actually read those two in whatever order; you can read Incident first and then Werewolf or vice versa -- it’s probably my fav story to date so far). And the posts are in chronological order with links to the previous/next part in the post.
The bulk of OC lore is through the oc things tag if you’re willing to read or try and get the feel of John and Brian. Or, you can ask; my inbox is quite open. I also tend to do OC lore dumps about a thing or something. Sometimes, they may become future stories.
My play style is gameplay? Gameplay. I guess it’s slice of life? I don’t know! I make things out of them sometimes.
I tag a lot of things, but mostly just The Big Ones. Every now and then, I have a spicy or spicy adjacent tag ‘rated s for spicy’, but the truly spicy posts are gonna be on PF, whenever that comes back up again since Tumblr. I can get creative with camera angles though. And then there’s ‘rated b for booty’ which is just a nudity tag. It’s just John doing what he just loves to do -- being naked. Brian does it too but it’s rare.
This simblr may not be the most visually appealing or ~colorful~ so I don’t have much in the way of that, but if you don’t mind... then please by all means check it out, stay a while, throw a comment or two, maybe a sweet reblog? This is a very chill blog, so, if you need some respite with Everything That Been Happening, then maybe I can give you one serotonin. 👋

Hiding in Plain Sight (1)- Tom Holland X Reader
Word Count-1792
A/N: This was inspired by this wonderful post by @starsholland. Without it this would not be happening. This will be a multi part fic, but I don’t know how many chapters or when it will be posted so if you’d like to be tagged let me know:)  Welcome to Tom being undercover on Tumblr. Quick notes- Y/T/B = Your Tumblr Blog, Y/A is your age :)
Tumblr media
“You’re not going to make me go undercover on Tumblr are you?” Tom asks as they hook up the mike to his white t-shirt. “I’ve heard dangerous things about that site.”
“No, no. We’re sticking to Reddit, Twitter, Youtube. Maybe some Quora and IMDB.” The redheaded assistant sitting across from him states as she places the GQ laptop across from him. Tom sees Harrison’s shoulders silently moving up and down, laughing at the idea of him having to go undercover on the site that he had been telling horror stories of for weeks leading up to this interview. “If any of these don’t sound good to you, we can skip them.”
“No, those sound fine.” Tom says. “I’m ready whenever you are.”
“Camera A ready?” She asks the camera man sitting diagonally from where she is. In response she gets a nod. “Tom when you’re ready say something like I’m Tom Holland and I’m going undercover on the internet to answer your questions. It’s actually me. Something like that.”
From across the room Harrison watches as Tom flows through the questions easily, hoping from site to site with better technical luck than he normally has. He can guess that some of the answers will be giffed and blasted around social media within minutes of this interview going live. It would shock him if it didn’t.
“Check it out mate.” On his screen flashes Tom saying I drink tea darling over and over again. “Your fans love it. Which is good, seeing how upset a lot of them are over the Disney/Sony thing.”
“Where is this?”
“Your favorite site.”
“Instagram?”
“Tumblr.” Tom rolls his eyes and falls back into the couch.
“Why are you even on there?”
“Why aren’t you? So many fangirls, so little time.” Tom shoots a dirty look at Harrison. “But in all seriousness, there’s a lot of great reactions and gifs that you can only find on Tumblr. You should check it out.” Tom reaches for Harrison’s computer but he pulls away. “Make your own account. It costs nothing.”
“Ugh, fine.” Pulling his phone out of his pocket, downloads the app and creates an account. Expecting one of the fangirls to have already have taken his common username, he’s surprised to be able to fill out the form with tomholland2013 as his username. Will that seem too much like him? Who knows. It’s not like he’s planning to actually use this site. He just using it to see what Harrison wants him to see. “What do I look up?”
“Just search the hashtag Tom Holland and look under recent for the most recent stuff. Most of it is your undercover interview. Or you can look under the Tom Holland top posts and see what your fans are obsessed with.” Tom is on the main page and sees a suggestion of blogs. A lot of them have his name intertwined in them with his picture as the profile picture. Guess it wouldn’t hurt to follow some blogs while he’s on here? 
The first one he follows is @starsholland who seems to write fanfictions about him but also shares a lot of marvel pictures. By clicking follow it brings up a lot of suggested blogs to follow. He clicks on @tonguetiedholland and sees another fanfiction writer but also a lot of posts between them and other bloggers. “Is this site just fanfiction?”
“No, there’s pictures and edits and stuff too. Why? You only interested in the fanfiction?”
“I only seem to find fanfictions.” Tom replies as he clicks on a blog called @tomhollandsstan, finding a mix of fanfictions, pictures and conversations. However his eyes scroll through one of the fics and find something much more raunchy than he anticipated finding. “Holy hell. What are they writing all of this about?”
“Reading something steamy Tommy?” Harrison teases. Tom feels his face flush with the embarrassment of knowing that there are girls and guys out there picturing stuff like this with him as the main feature. 
“I’m getting off this site. It’s bloody porn.”
“No wait, you’ve just stumbled down the wrong path. Let me send you some blogs to look at.” Harrison pulls up some of the ones that are mostly pictures and reactions. “What’s your tumblr handle? I’ll send them to you?”
“Tomholland2013.”
“Really? It wasn’t taken?”
“Nope.”
“See how long it stays secretive.”
“I don’t plan on using it.” Tom says as he hits follow on some of the other blogs that Harrison sent him, including one that was @Y/T/B. He found himself scrolling through it a little more in depth than he had with any of the other pages he had been on. The posts and your reactions were more what he expected of tumblr. Glee filled, but not thirsty. Hitting follow was a no brainer.
Across the country, your phone lights up as you get a notification from Tumblr. You’re about to swipe it away, since your day is currently going down hill as the recipes you’re in the middle of trying out are turning into pinterest fails. Also you should have checked before you started baking a cake that you had powdered sugar to make frosting, so you’ll have to do another pinterest deep dive for a frosting recipe since you can’t use your tried and true recipe.
However, the name on the notification catches your eye- Tomholland2013 has followed you. Wow someone finally snatched the name. There had been jokes around the fandom for months that someone should snag the name so Tom could have it whenever or if-ever he decided to join tumblr. But it seems someone has decided to be Tom. Whoever it is though seems to enjoy your posts because they’re liking your posts in succession. While your stand mixer whirls, you open to their blog and see there’s nothing there. Not even a banner or an icon photo. They must be a super new blog. You back out of their blog and almost back out of the app when you see a message from this Tom Holland wanna be.
From: Tomholland2013
I really like all your edits of Tom. Can I use one as my profile pic? X
You pause for a second before replying. This person wasn’t the first to ask to use one of your edits as a profile picture. Why does this feel different though? It has to just be because of the name. You click to reply to the ask.
I’m so surprised someone finally took the name. Me and @imanativeofswlondondahling had a bet going on for how long it was going to stay open in case Tom wanted it. Anyway, feel free to use my edits, or if you have a favorite picture of Tom, send it my way and I’ll make an edit for you.
You hit send on the ask before you can change your mind and then you turn back to your cake- which has probably been overwhipped now.
“Do I have a favorite picture of Tom?” Tom mumbles to himself as he reads over your reply. He’d love to see something that was made for him, but that means finding a picture of himself that he wants edited. “Harrison, com’ere mate. Take a selfie with me.”
“What’s this for?” Harrison asks before posing. @Y/T/B wouldn’t know this was just a selfie. You’d probably think he just did a Google deep dive.
“Need a profile picture. For my blog.” Tom teases, before clicking back to his messages on tumblr. There has to be a way to send a direct message instead of an ask like he did before. He had been planning to use an edit you had done of him saying I drink tea darling, but he wasn’t going to toss up having a custom made icon. After fiddling around on the app for a few minutes Tom finally figures out how to send a message and sends the picture he had snapped with Harrison a few minutes earlier. He tacks on a quick message asking her to do whatever she wants with the picture and to take as long as she wants and or needs. After hitting send, he clicks back to your blog's main page, trying to learn more about you.
At the top of your page, simply stated, it reads Y/N, Y/A, Tom Holland Fan. Well that does tell him you’re around his age, so that makes him feel less like a creeper. He wants to know everything he can about you, but all he can find through scrolling is mainly, well him. He can’t explain why, but there’s a sort of pull towards you from what he can find in your messages to other people and responding to anon messages, you seem like someone he’d want to be friends with. You have a great sense of humor and make jokes as often as you can in your messages. 
“Haz, can I turn on notifications for, like a certain blog?” Tom calls across the living room.
“Thought you weren’t going to use it.”
“There’s a couple blogs I like.”
“Sure, let me show you.” Tom passes his phone over and watches as Harrison turns on notifications for your blog. “Oh she’s great. Her reactions when news is posted is great.” A notification pops up on your screen. “Apparently she just posted.”
A cake maker I am not destined to be. Gordon Ramsay will make an idiot sandwich out of me.
A picture of a very sad looking cake appears under her text. “Maybe she should stick to making edits.” Harrison jokes. 
“Mate, that’s rude.”
“But it’s not wrong. Plus it’s not like yours would look much better.”
“Mine would be worse.” Taking his phone back, he clicks on the comment bubble and types out: looks better than anything I would make X His inbox dings a couple moments later. 
How have I never seen this photo of Harrison and Tom? Did it get posted while I was attempting to bake?
I think it’s an old photo. Found it on my phone. X And technically that’s not a lie.
Well I’ll hop on that edit. Any colors you prefer?
Blue or Red would be good I guess. X
I’ll get right on that. What’s with all the x’s?
Oh it’s a European thing. It’s just how we sign off texts and messagesX
If it’s annoying I can try and not do it?X
It’s fine. Just didn’t know why it was there. 
Do you think Tom does it?
Oh most definitely. What kind of Brit would he be if he didn’t?X
Well I’ll go get on the edit, hopefully I’ll have it done in the next day or so
No hurryX
Thanks againX

tcfkag replied to your post “just had to step around your mess of an addition to a post to reblog...”
I just went to your page like "I'll figure out which one" but you add stuff to a surprising number of your own posts, lol. Always excellent additions of course.
Aw, thank you :D I think lately I HAVE reblogged a lot of my own, usually to reply to someone...
drgaellon replied to your post “just had to step around your mess of an addition to a post to reblog...”
I presume this was regarding Pumpkin Spice Evans? Poor little anon, not even brave enough to spew his hate with pride. Sad.
scifigrl47 replied to your post “just had to step around your mess of an addition to a post to reblog...”
Nope, I'm betting it was the Good Omens smore post. Because this is some 'newbie in new fandom' nonsense.
I have no real idea which one it was, I was just sort of enjoying fucking with them should they ever return :D I’m willing to bet it was an older post, probably one where I made a joke they didn’t find funny. Though the whole “I had to go to ALL THE TROUBLE of NOT REBLOGGING YOUR  VERSION” does smack of Anon being new to tumblr.  
tyrannosaurus-trainwreck replied to your post “just had to step around your mess of an addition to a post to reblog...”
I guess you *could* describe the OP's own additions to a post as unoriginal, if you really wanted...? O_o #siriwhyarepeople
I will say I didn’t find “You suck” to be the height of Wildean wit, but we can’t all practice what we preach, I suppose. 
looshahontas replied to your photo “Farewell Ren Faire!”
Which one? I go to the one in Wisconsin
That’s the one! Bristol, unless there’s more than one, which is entirely possible. 
quaidpoppinjack replied to your photo “Farewell Ren Faire!”
My friend owns the flower shop at Bristol! I haven’t been there in ages since I moved west of Rockford, but these pics are making me nostalgic.
Oh, we sat outside the flower shop for a bit! 
the-grey-hunt replied to your photo “Farewell Ren Faire!”
did you enjoy the joust? that's always my favorite part of the day
YES! I bought a flag to wave. SUCH fun. 
i-ddpej replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”
ahhh, have fun!! I blue-screened for a few seconds at "first", but I forget sometimes that the average person did not grow up right down the road from a giant Ren.Fest, lol.
I think mainly the issue is that they’re almost always pretty far outside of town or held at a fairground, and tough to get to without a car, so I’ve never really had any way to get to them, or known people who would be interested in going, before. 
aubergeen replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”
this photoset makes it look like you caught whatever's floating in the air in image one on a plate and just tucked in. i was like, why was there a chicken breast flying in the air is that part of the fair or something
LOL! “We arrived at the faire and a chicken breast just came hurtling at me!”
The thing floating in the air is actually a scratch on my camera lens. I named it Bertie. :D 
guineapigwithaflamethrower replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”
I'm sorry, what kind of Ren Faire is this where the food comes on PLATES?!
It was on a stick on a plate, at least! 
3fluffies replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”
Is that Maryland?! Fantastic faire!
It’s Bristol in Wisconsin, BUT I’m told that the Maryland fair is especially good since jousting is the state sport! 
waititsyu replied to your post “Hi Copperbadge! Are you still making cat food for your babies? If so,...”
just a... friendly reminder that people really shouldn't change their animals diet to homemade without consulting with a vet, and preferably one specialized in it. Cats do need a very specific makeup in their diet (as compared with dogs, that are much more forgiving in that sense), and there are individual variations, etc, that can make the diet that is fine for one, not so fine for another. Not to mention that food transition should always be handled super carefully.
This is a very good point! Before I put them on the homecooked diet I talked with my vet, and others should too. The vet said to me that it was fine as long as they kept putting on weight, and double-checked the vitamin I planned to add to make sure it had taurine in it. But yes, always talk to your vet and make sure you transition the kitties carefully!

Amazing music photographers around the world
We’re currently facing a world crisis unlike we have seen in a generation. Due to shutdowns of pretty much all normal life, the music industry has completely shutdown touring. Festivals and tours all over the world have been cancelled, and the loss of income to all of those connected to that industry will be devastating. 
This is my very small attempt at trying to help out some of my favourite photographers, nearly all of whom are affected by these shutdowns. I’ve tried my best to link to all their print stores, instagram and websites, but if there are direct ways you want to help them, please reach out. Give them a follow. Share their posts. Tell them how amazing they are. Spirits are low right now, and boosting someone’s spirits is one of the best things we can do to get through this.
We’re all in this together. I hope you discover your new favourite photographer.
UK/EU
Bethan Miller // Cardiff, UK
Bethan Miller is a Cardiff based photographer who works within music, event and wedding photography. I’ve followed Bethan’s work for years, and seeing her come as far as she has, and being a full-time freelancer is incredible. She tours regularly with rising UK band Holding Absence, and her work with them truly captures their moody-vibe.  PRINT STORE // INSTAGRAM // WEBSITE
Tumblr media
Corinne Cumming // London, UK
Best known as ‘Captured by Corinne’, one of the music industry’s NICEST humans on the planet, London based Corinne is also an incredible photographer, from her work with Rock Sound with some of your favourite bands, to her unmatched stunning studio work with Drag Queens.

Isha Shah // London, UK
Honestly, a true legend. Isha’s work is so vibrant, innovative and quite genius. She’s able to work with a range of artists and musicians, and also inspires other creatives with her creative collective, Platform London. Never afraid to speak up, Isha’s no BS attitude makes her so unique, and honestly my feeds would be way too quiet without her. 
INSTAGRAM // WEBSITE
Tumblr media
Jennifer McCord // London, UK
Finding beauty in the minimal, Jenny’s work is emotive in the way she photographs some of the most delicate moments, no matter whether she’s shooting live music, portraits or weddings. Seeing her grow from shooting hardcore shows to working with Ellie Goulding, Jenny is IN DEMAND, and there’s a reason why.
PRINT STORE // INSTAGRAM // WEBSITE
Tumblr media
Phoebe Fox // London, UK
It blows me away that Phoebe (SHOTBYPHOX) is only 22. She has toured with artists such as Anne Marie, SWMRS, Anteros and The Amazons and is a powerhouse of beautiful content. Her work is clean, bold, and simply stunning.

One of THE most creative photographers out there, I love the concepts and essence of her work; there’s a story within every photo and there’s a vintage feel to them that works perfectly. Brandynnleigh is based in Calgary and shoots live music as well as portraits, conceptual projects and landscapes.

Tumblr media
Lindsey Blane // Vancouver, BC
Ok, I’m biased, because Lindsey is one of my closest friends but also a ridiculously talented human, a bit of a workaholic and someone who gives every project 110%. When we met, we were both working at a camera store (in different locations) and she stalked me on Instagram and messaged me on Christmas Day 2016, and within weeks she was sleeping on my sofa a couple times a month, so she could come over to Vancouver from Victoria and shoot some shows/build her relationships with artists. It’s paid off and seeing her work with some of the biggest artists in Canada is mindblowing.

Brandon Dacosta // Toronto, ON
Brandon works with a range of indie artists including Canadian bands Bearings and Belmont. His work is so energetic and he checks off everything live music photography is all about.

Fluffy ABC’s (Colt Kaneko x Logan)
A/N: So I usually don’t do requests, but someone wanted an ABC for Colt x Logan and reached out to me. This is my first one of these and I’m not gonna lie, I found it difficult to do. For this ABC, I’m imagining these two as only having been together for about six months. Also, it’s fluffy-ish I guess lol
Tagging some of my fellow Colt x Logan fans: @ladynonsense @brightpinkpeppercorn @cinnamonroll-duffy @ritachacha @kevinarima @tabithacarlisle @queen-among-writers @walkerismychoice @pixieferry @thehonorarybeaumont @tmarie82 @debramcg1106 @boneandfur @kendrasgue @riseandshinelittleblossom @rainbowsinthestorm @darley1101 @bobasheebaby
A - Anger (What was their first fight about? Any big or recurring arguments?)
We all know that Colt and Logan fought all the time when they first met, mainly because both were too proud to admit their feelings for the other. Once they finally moved past that and became a couple, their fighting decreased dramatically. Now they just periodically fight about whose turn it is to do the dishes or fold the laundry.
B - Best (What would they say is the other’s best trait)
Colt finds Logan to be surprisingly flexible and Logan is really impressed by Colt’s stamina. 😉
C - Camera (How do they document their relationship? Who likes to take pictures? Or videos?)
They don’t. The way both Colt and Logan grew up, neither was really into doing relationships, let alone documenting it. This really new territory for both guys, but neither is keen on taking pics of each other or creating a Pictagram to share their relationship.
D - Dates (What are their dates like?)
Colt and Logan don’t really do dates like other couples. They don’t plan to go out, it just happens. It’s usually nothing fancy either. One will just randomly ask the other if he wants to “go with” whenever he’s hungry.
E - Early (What was the first month of dating like?)
When they finally admitted things to each other, there was some pretty passionate and intense sex. Like often too. They still get it on pretty regularly, but that first month they’d do it almost anywhere in the garage whenever the crew was away.
F - Friends (How is their relationship with each other’s group of friends?)
Considering they have the same friends, it’s pretty good. Ximena and Mona are just glad these two finally admitted their true feelings to each other.
G - Gifts (Do they like giving each other gifts?)
Colt and Logan aren’t really into gift giving. Unless you count orgasms 😉
H - Hugs (All things involving hugs)
They don’t hug in public, but they do cuddle and spoon regularly in bed together. Logan quite enjoys being the little spoon.
I - Inside Jokes (Do they have any?)
Colt is super competitive when it comes to games or sports, so whenever it gets to be a bit too much, Logan calls him “Han Brolo” after their favorite contestant on AME last season. It gives them both a good laugh and Colt ends up relaxing a bit.
J - Jealousy (Who gets jealous easier? How do they show their jealousy?)
Colt and Logan both have pretty short fuses and tend to react in similar fashion. They tend to huff and walk off without saying a word. Colt tends to jealous more often than Logan.
K - Kiss (How do they kiss? Who usually initiates?)
Their kissing is intense and full of passion. Lately, Logan has been initiating the kissing more than Colt because he wants to make sure he doesn’t lose him. Logan still has worries of being left alone stemming for his past, so he kisses Colt often as a way to express his devotion.
L - Love (How do they first say those three words?)
They don’t say the words, but rather they’ll briefly and stealthily hook their pinky fingers together when they’re thinking it and others are present.
M - Movies (What kind of movies do they watch together? Is it a regular Netflix ritual?)
They’re both into Matt Rodriguez, Chris Winters, and Jason Statham movies. They’ll tell their friends it’s because of the action, but in reality Colt and Logan just wanna see those guys shirtless. Logan secretly loves Tender Nothings, which Colt gives him constant shit about.
N - Nicknames (Things they call each other)
Colt still calls Logan “Pretty Boy,” while Logan refers to Colt as “Crotch Jockey.”
O - One (Tell us about the moment they realized they were with the one.)
Logan felt it first during their first kiss in the ocean. He had never felt anything as electric as he did during that kiss. Colt won’t admit to feeling that Logan is the one, but deep down he’s sure of it.
P - Pizza (What is their favorite food to eat together?)
Colt introduced Logan to sushi, so for Logan he loves to get that with Colt when they go out to eat.
Q- Quit (Do they break up? Almost break up? What happened?)
They’ve only been dating for a short time, but they’ve never thought about breaking up or had anything happen that would cause them to consider it. Mainly because their interactions before confessing their attraction to each other was so rocky. The fact they got through that, both men know they can get through any arguments that may happen.
R - Rainy Days (How do they comfort each other on dark days?)
Logan tends to have more dark days than Colt, but they’ve been getting less and less ever since the two got together officially. Usually, though, when Logan is down, Colt just pulls him close on the couch, resting Logan’s head onto his chest while wrapping his arms tight around Logan’s body.
S - Soft (Something that one of them did that turned the other into absolute mush)
Colt has a surprisingly angelic singing voice and the first time Logan heard him singing the song “Time After Time,” he absolutely wept.
T - Texting (Do they text each other a lot? What do they usually talk about over the phone?)
No. Logan texts more than Colt, but it’s usually simple things like “where are you?” or “pick up beer.”
U - Unique (Tell us about some of their odd habits that surprised one another)
This is actually an odd habit that Colt and Logan developed together randomly one night. They were relaxing on the couch and couldn’t find anything to watch on NetFilms when they stumbled upon Desire & Decorum season one. They both thought it would be a show to make fun of, but they ended up enjoying it so much that they’ll sometimes spend an entire night talking to each other in a British accent. They’ve even taken the act to the next level by role playing as Mr. Konevi and Mr. Chambers in bed.
V - Vanity (Something they’re proud of in themselves and their partner)
From a physical standpoint, Logan is proud of his hair and loves Colt’s abs. Colt enjoys Logan’s eyes and loves his own abs as well. Personality wise, Colt loves Logan’s humor. He didn’t realize how genuinely funny the guy could be when they first met. Logan loves Colt’s intelligence and cocky attitude. Both turn Logan on quite regularly.
W - Wedding (Tell us about your wedding head canon if they’ve gotten that far. Or if not, have they talked about it?)
Oh these guys are nowhere near ready for that conversation.
X - X (Something they hate about the other)
Logan hates that Colt used to hook-up with Salazar. Colt on the other hand hates how long it takes Logan to do his hair in the morning.
Y - YouTube (What are they like online? Do they post about their relationship constantly?)
Neither one of these guys has a social media presence. If they are online, it’s to watch movies on NetFilms or car and motorcycle videos on YouTube.
Z - Zoo (Are they into animals? Do they want pets? What kind?)
Logan is more into cuddly animals than Colt and one day he hopes to have a dog. He loves labs and beagles to be specific. Colt is a huge fan of reptiles, especially lizards.

Italians love babies so even if you need to beg your next-door-neighbour, bring one with you to Rome, they’re like a free pass to everything! Listen up, I’m about to give you the ins and outs of how to do the Rome thing, this mainly applies if you have a little one but there are some gems of advice for the baby-less too.
Tumblr media
Italians absolutely adore babies. Because of this it was an amazing experience bringing our Little One with us to this incredible city. Travelling with a baby can be quite nerve-wracking for some people, but I think for most things with plenty of research in advance a lot of the stress can be eliminated. D had to go to Rome for work so we hitched along at the end of his trip for a little holiday, it had been a long summer in the UK and we both needed some kind of break!
This blog is being broken up into different segments to make it easier to navigate your way through the piece. The full itinerary is included at the end too as is the walking tour map we used.
Accommodation
We were lucky enough to have his mum join us for the trip. So after a few comparison websites I found the best route was to go with an Airbnb. An entire two-bedroom apartment on the edge of Vatican City was cheaper than two bedrooms in a hotel. With the apartment we not only had the two bedrooms, we had a living room and a kitchen, which turned out to be a godsend. It meant the Little Lady wasn’t confined to one room and could roam about the apartment semi-freely.
We were also right across the road from a gorgeous coffee place which we got breakfast from every morning, it was €1 for a cappuccino!
Planning
I structured a plan for the few days we had but made sure it was flexible. As someone who is possibly a little too keen for organisation it was a lot for me to say this!
We had three full days in Rome, so though we didn’t get to see everything on the list, the Jellybean was the priority and we went by her moods, stopped when we needed to and gave her plenty of chill time in the morning and evenings in the apartment.
We made sure we had ample snacks and water for the Little Lady and brought a packed lunch along so we could let her run around in a shaded spot rather than try and restrain her in a highchair in a restaurant.
Tips
Stay outside of the main tourist hot-spots, though this is a tired piece of advice it’s very poignant. We ate out all but one night because the cost wasn’t horrendous.
They LOVE babies. The Jellybean got the royal treatment in a restaurant we went to on the first night, she attracted attention from all of the staff, they taught her how to blow kisses and she even got her own free dessert. Did I mention she had only just turned one?!
Prams are useless in Rome. If you have a carrier bring that, if not, see if you can borrow one. Remember most of the attractions are OLD buildings and don’t usually have elevators available to the public. We saw a couple having to carry a newborn in a pram up all the steps at Castel Sant’Angelo, I did not envy them.
All of the tourist hot-spots are crazy busy! I’m not talking a few tourists getting in your pictures, I’m talking jam-packed. It was the worst at the Trevi fountain and going through the museums in Vatican City.
Trevi Fountain
Baby Carrier at Trevi Fountain
  ALL of the multi-passes available; Omni Pass, Roma pass…etc really aren’t worth it.
We booked nothing. NOT A SINGLE THING in advance.
Don’t fall for the trap of buying a skip the line ticket for Vatican City, listen up I’m about to seriously make this trip a hella lot easier for you.
We got approached at the entrance by many poachers who wanted to sell us a skip the line ticket for extortionate prices of €50+, we ignored them all and almost ignored the actual official man who let us skip the THREE-HOUR-LONG-QUEUE all because we had a baby strapped to our chest. We strolled on in, walked up the stairs and bought our €17 tickets.
Tumblr media
THIS PART IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE. The Basilica is FREE to enter, however, after you go through the museums and see the Sistine Chapel, you technically need to queue again to see the Basilica – if you haven’t paid for a group ticket. You are encouraged to follow the ‘Exit’ sign at the left. Now, because my husband is a genius, he also did some research and found out if you follow the groups exit which is at the back right of the room, you can skip the next load of queues and enter the Basilica nice and easy. We felt like some super sneaky ninja spies defying the rules – so badass.
Give yourself enough time for Vatican City, you won’t appreciate it if all you’re concerned about is getting through it. Also the amount of people that will be there will just stress you out because everyone moves very slowly, the ambling pace however was good enough for the little lady to nod off so I wasn’t complaining.

We struggled to book tickets for the Colosseum online without paying for a guided tour – which really wouldn’t be ideal with a baby. Instead, after buying the Red Sightseeing Tour Bus ticket, we added on the Colosseum Fast Track when we got on the bus. The queues for these places really are hours long, and this was the best deal we could find. We waited a total of fifteen minutes before getting through security and being inside.

Take it easy, give yourself plenty of time and try not to over plan things, your child is going to get tired and depending on how old they are they’re not going to want to stay in a carrier all day. We broke up the day by sitting in parks, letting her walk around and allowing her explore.
Pack PLENTY of water and snacks for yourself and your child. There is nothing worse than a hungry child besides perhaps a cranky Mama to match. This is where the kitchen in the apartment came in handy. We made a packed lunch and brought it with us for the days, which cut down costs as we were in the top tourist attraction places, but it also meant we could eat when hungry and keep everyone happy.
Despite reading otherwise, most of the restaurants we went to for dinner had some kind of highchair, though I did have to hold her in one place, Rome is definitely becoming more with the times when it comes to dining out with children!
The driving in Rome is TERRIFYING, lanes don’t seem to be a thing. We got a standard taxi from the airport and I genuinely couldn’t look at the road. We got an Uber on the way back to the airport and the driver seemed to have a lot more consideration for us as customers so I would definitely recommend them over the standard taxi service.

Tumblr User! Ong Seongwoo
Tumblr media
[credit to each pic owner!]
ok so i was just eating some filipino food at a restuarant when my mind was like “YO YKNOW I WONDER WHAT WANNA ONE WAS PPL ON TUMBLR WOULD BE LIKE” so here i am BSJXNS [this is literally not proofread tbh everything i write isn’t proof read im so sorry DHFKD]
~~~~
his username would be
ongtheslate95
95 being the yr he was born in
so he’s probably one of those aesthetic tumblrs that posts aesthetic photos that everyone loves
like he’ll post aesthetic photos of him posing at places that look so nice and stuff 
honestly his photos were so pleasing that they actually ended up being used in a lot of places 
also being used without credit but tbh ong didn’t mind, as long as he got recognition for his photos and his artistic style through being aesthetic he was happy! 
so you also happened to be an aesthetic blog, people also admired you
you didn’t really take pictures of yourself mostly of places that looked aesthetic. 
and you followed ong because wow he was handsome and wow his photos were so nice like pls teach me ???
the downside to his fantastic blog was 
memes
literally the memes he reblogs onto it 
it didn’t bother you at first, but it started bothering you when his blog at times was just flooded with memes 
like it was one thing to reblog other aesthetic blogs and like some memes but it was getting to you 
like the stuff he reblogged was just weird like 
there would be a meme of someone cleaning but then someone coming in ruining it and then he would tag it 
“this is literally minhyun and jaehwan rip”
or like something really weird and be like 
“THIS REMINDS ME OF DAEHWI’S AND JINYOUNG’S RELATIONSHIP I SOB”
so like once you were fed up you messaged him like 
“hey ong the slate, i understand you find great memes you wanna share but i hope you know that ppl mainly follow your account for the aesthetics!”
he replied like one second after which had you shooketh 
“ahh i see, i mean i like sharing what i think it funny with the people that follow me!”
so here starts a full blown convo 
“you could make a side blog for just reblogging random things and tell your followers!” 
“oh is that a good idea?”
“yeah ofc i have a side blog myself where i reblog a ton of stuff i like, it doesn’t have like a ton of followers but it’s the thought that counts 
“whats your side blog name?”
“uh i’d rather not say it’s weird” 
anyways after that convo low and behold ong made his own mf side blog called 
theslatememes
you secretly followed it on your side blog because even though you didn’t like the memes on his aesthetic blog, the stuff he was reblogging was pretty funny 
anyways one day at the college that you attend you notice that someone is taking photos near the cherry blossom trees. 
walking closer you notice that it’s ong 
ong the slate 
and you mentally freak out because tf you didn’t know he live this close and 2 he looked hella fine in person 
“daniel no! I asked you to take it in this position, this is important!”
“chill seongwoo, art takes time”
you casually walk up to seongwoo and daniel 
“are you ong the slate on tumblr?”
and he just freezes up like 
“shit i’ve been spotted”
so he just laughs it off and steps away from the tree awkwardly while daniel is over to the side low key trying not to laugh his ass off 
“y-yeah! i actually go to this college, do you?” 
“yeah! i’ve been following your blog for a while and i love the photos you post, i also like your side blog”
his eyes light up and he literally almost grabs your hands in excitement but then realizes yall are still strangers 
“what’s your blog name? i’ll follow you back!” 
and then this is where you realize
“oh shit, i fucked up”
you just kind of awkwardly laugh and just start to back away like 
“well it was nice meeting you! i hope you see you around!” 
while you scurry off though seongwoo just smiles to himself 
“whats up ong?”
“usually when people spot me in public which is rare they just say ‘hey aren’t you that ong handsome guy that takes nice photos on tumblr?’ and the only person who really has directly called me ong the slate was this one girl on tumblr who told me i should make a side blog”
daniel literally started laughing which made ong confused like 
ong literally turned around and gave daniel the “wtf are you laughing at face” 
“you are literally loosely piecing together facts, are you sure you aren’t thinking that way because you want to meet that girl in person?”
he wiggled his eyebrows a little and seongwoo scoffed, 
“shut up daniel let’s go back to taking pictures.”
later that day your phone pinged signaling that you had a notification from tumblr
“hey! I know we haven’t talked since you like criticized my account! how are you”
“oh also your new photos on your account are so aesthetic”
you slightly smiled seeing the second message but when you read the first one he sent you got a little salty 
“OK FIRST OFF i didn’t criticize your account, i was just suggesting something to improve your account”
“what ever you say but anyways what’s your name and how are you?” 
“ok fine well i’m Y/N which is a pretty common name BUT i’m doing fine, just working on some homework.”
“HMMM you go to college?”
“no i go to english language school”
“oh”
“no yes it’s for college”
“HAH ok bye!”
you were so confused like why talk to you for like three minutes then leave after getting some info about you?
the next day while walking down the part of your college with the cherry blossom trees you hear someone call out your name 
“Y/N!”
you froze in your spot and turned around slightly, you spotted Seongwoo RUSHING towards you with a huge smile on his face
ABORT
you started walking equally as fast because who cares about your class now you wanted to escape from possible embarrassment
“uh WAIT Y/N I JUST WANNA TALK”
“THERE’S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT”
“YES THERE IS” 
so now here you are sipping on a hot chocolate in a cafe with seongwoo just giving you a mischievous smirk 
“what a coincidence! I didn’t know you went to me college!” 
“i don’t even know how you thought i was the person that talked to you on your tumblr”
“you see i watch all these detective shows and sometimes even the weirdest facts fit together!” 
you were literally blown away 
“anyways,”
Seongwoo took out his phone and after tapping on it a little he placed it in front of you 
“so i was wondering if you would take a look at the photos i have, i was planning on posting them but yknow daniel isn’t rlly a good helper”
you simply just nodded and looked over the photos while scrolling you realized that over half of them were memes which caught ong’s attention and made him flustered
“AGH i forgot to put it to my folder full of aesthetic photos!” 
he snatched the phone away and then placed it in front of you again 
“i see you’re more of a meme person huh?”
“just look at the photos” 
so you scrolled some more and a lot of them were really nice but some of them had bad angles. 
you causally changed to the camera on his phone and pointed it at him 
“uh what are you doing?”
“just pose or something” 
following what you said he sat up straight and did one of those aesthetic poses (ok so like just try to imagine one bc i cant DFHJKD)
you positioned yourself in a way where it looked super nice and took the photo, changed the filter and handed the phone back to him 
“i think daniel needs a little more training” 
he just laughed and instead of laughing with him your mind was like 
“wow he has a cute laugh” 
but before you could even like second guess that thought of yours seongwoo asked you something 
“hey do you wanna like collab together? like you take my photos and i can help you with something? Daniel keeps on doing the same shots over and over again and i wanna have something new which you provide me with!” 
“as long as you don’t take up a lot of my time sure”
this obviously made seongwoo’s smile grow large and he just took your hands in his which made you surprised and flustered 
oh and your face turned a bit red too
“this is great! Hopefully we work well together” 
time skipp because this is starting to get a bit long
“so seongwoo what do you think of this place?”
it was a simple abandoned train station that had been painted pink (think of bp’s aityl train station that was pink) and since he was wearing pink you thought it would be a perfect idea to take a couple of photos of him there!
before you turned you head to look at him you heard a quiet snap of a camera and saw seongwoo holding the polaroid camera 
“ugh seongwoo what did i tell you? Don’t waste the film on taking pictures of the scenery, we gotta use it for you!” 
he just waved you off and smiled while taking the new photo that had come out and stuffed it into his pocket. 
while you were taking photos of him he stopped posing
“what’s wrong?”
“don’t you ever wanna take pictures of yourself? like and post aesthetic photos of you? i’m sure people would love that” 
you shrugged and placed the camera into your bag 
“i mean i’ve never really had the confidence for it, when i tried it just looked a little i don’t know, tacky?” 
seongwoo nodded and then started muttering something underneath his breath 
“all the photos i have of you don’t look tacky though”
“what?”
“i was just saying how it probably looks tacky but aesthetic!” 
you laughed and just hit seongwoo on the shoulder”
“shut up your always look so nice”
“that’s because you’re taking them” 
“alright alright true now lets go back to taking photos of you”
____
once the photoshoot was done and you arrived home you started receiving a bunch of notifications from your friends 
you picked up your phone and took a glance at it while skimming over your notes for you test tomorrow 
“WAIT WHAT”
you literally dropped your phone 
“HEY Y/N WHY ARE THERE PHOTOS OF YOU ON ONGTHESLATES TUMBLR?? AND THEY LOOK HELLA AESTHETIC PLZ EXPLAIN”
going on tumblr you looked at seongwoo’s posts and noticed that it was the truth 
he had posted a bunch of polaroids of you, including the one he took at the train station today that you assumed was only of the scenery 
“istg when i see him again i’ll make sure to expose-”
mid way of trying to think of ways to get back at him your heart stopped beating at the caption he had put 
“she thinks photos of her are tacky but all the photos i have of her taken over all the time we’ve spent together say otherwise right?” 
you clicked on the notes on the post, which seemed like they were going up little bit by bit and saw what people had said 
“is this your girlfriend O.O”
“she’s so pretty! tell her to start her own aesthetics blog!”
“you guys should become a couple aesthetics blog, that would be so cute~” 
you could feel your face going red as you brought your face to your cheeks
“ugh ong seongwoo what are you doing?” 
you had to admit it was a little sweet but it just made you feel a certain way that you didn’t want to feel 
you still high key wanted to expose him 
SO THE NEXT DAY you started walking over to your usual meet up spot when daniel all of a sudden started walking next to you 
“lets go a different route this time!” 
he started pushing you in another direction
while you were questioning where he was taking you, you noticed a bunch of photos on the ground that looked like familiar places to you 
at this point while you were admiring the photos daniel had left you to jus wonder what they were for 
so like what people do in the movies you started following the trail of photos while picking them up 
which led you to a gazebo which you didn’t even know existed at your college 
the trail also led you to ong, who had his back turned towards you. 
“alright ong i don’t think turning your back towards me is going to make me not see you”
you laughed softly and you could hear him chuckle a little too 
so he slowly turned around 
and by slowly i mean like you wanted to go up to him and turn him around fully yourself 
but when he did though, you gasped 
actually gasped like not enough to put your hands to your mouth though 
“ong what is that?!”
your face instantly lit up and you reached your hand towards a bouquet that had all these aesthetic photos of your and seongwoo 
(try to imagine it i literally cannot explain it SHKD)
“I wanted to surprise you, i know we haven’t known each other long but i would love to start a blog together and with that blog start a nice beautiful relationship between the two of us?”
you smiled and took the bouquet out of his hands 
“that was super cheesy but I guess i’m not against it, i would love to take aesthetic photos with you while also being a cute couple while we’re at it” 
seongwoo’s face lit up
like you know when he smiles so big that it’s literally blinding, 
that kind of lit up 
he instantly picked you up and spun you around making you both laugh in the process 
“gosh Y/N you are like the prince to my charming”
“that literally did not make sense”
he set you down and just gave you this teasing stare
“but you like me anyways rightt?”
he smiled at you and you couldn’t help but smile back 
“of course i do”
before ong could respond daniel literally burst in and ruined the moment 
“ALRIGHT LOVE BIRDS SEONGWOO PROMISED ME SOME BBQ IF THIS SUCCEEDED LETS GO EAT SOME”
daniel then proceeded to grab both of your arms and drag you towards the nearby place
“also count this as your kind of first date!”
seongwoo scoffed
“first date with a third wheeler?”
now it was daniel’s turn to scoff and they both continued to bicker while walking the whole way to the place. 
even though you weren’t really tuning into their conversation, you kept on the looking at each of the photos of both you and seongwoo and couldn’t help but think about how great and sweet seongwoo is 
even though he teased you and also exposed you 
you start to get really excited about the future with him, and also probably daniel since they stick to each other like glue
