#my academics is the one thing i’m proud about 😭

[honest-moth-of-silver-grove]

Hey, I'd love a matchup for Castlevania, if you're up for it (was not the person who wrote you those ask anons btw, although I appreciate them clearing things up).

I’m a heterosexual cis woman, although I’m starting to suspect I’m on the asexual spectrum. So, I'd prefer a male matchup. Also not super sure I'd be down with polygamy.

I'm a premed student (no time for irl dating unfortunately 😭). I also work as a volunteer EMS on weekends. Outside of my school and work my hobbies are singing (musical theatre and classical mostly), theatre (backstage work as well as performing), skiing (the only sport I’m any good at) and TTRPGs (was this close to getting my group to play a Castlevania campaign 😔).

I’m also a big nerd about history, American comics, and folklore. I’ll rant for hours about my special interests if nobody stops me. I’d describe myself as ambiverted. I'm socially awkward, but also very loud and expressive. I’m a bit oblivious, I’ll admit lol, but I do my best. My MBTI is ESTJ, and while I doubt MBTI's accuracy, I agree I’m very Type A. When it comes to the things I’m good at, I’m a major perfectionist, but I’m proud of how hard I work. I think my greatest weakness is probably thoughtlessness, but my greatest strength is humility.  My giving love language is acts of service, and my receiving love language is quality time. I'm verbally affectionate towards friends but I freeze like a deer in headlights if somebody flirts with me. Also: I know appearance isn’t super important, but I think it’s important to know I’m only around 5’0 tall. As my friends say, "headpat size."

A/N: Okay for you my PreMed Student Anon (that’s amazing, congratulations by the way!)I have two potential matches in mind. You said you’re heterosexual and would prefer male results, so I chose two from that gender because I honestly couldn’t decide which would please you best. For you, I’m thinking either Dracula or Alucard would be your perfect romantic matchups! (It really does just come down to which man you’d like better: father or son, lol.) 

Dracula (Vlad Tepes), as terrifying as he may be when he decides to enact justice on the human population, is a very reserved and intellectual man. He’s introverted and devoted much of his life to learning about anything and everything from medicine to history to poetry. 

In this instance let’s pretend he’s either never met Lisa or he did meet and fall in love with Lisa but she either lived a full life and died of natural causes, or Dracula was able to overcome the anger and blame he held for humanity following her murder.

Dracula is a patient man. Being immortal means he understands that you must dedicate much of your time to your studies and your volunteer work. So long as the few moments you do get to spend with him are uninterrupted and meaningful, I believe he’d be understanding, and even supportive of your academic endeavors. He was more than happy to aid Lisa in her quest to learn more about biology, so I have no doubt he’d do similarly for you. Any questions you have, he’d gladly answer them. Any resource he has in his castle, any book or scroll, any record of any kind is yours to inspect. He has no doubts that you’re going to make a very accomplished professional one day, and he has every intention of doing whatever it takes to help you get there.

Along with that patience comes an understanding that sex is not the end all be all in life. Sure, it has its place for either pleasure or reproduction but it doesn't need to dominate relationships. If sex is something you're hesitant about, or against having, it doesn't make much difference to him. Dracula would be fine without sleeping with you, so long as he can have you in other ways. Holding you close, holding your hand, sitting next to you in front of a warm fire- those things are what make him feel close to your heart. 

Dracula also enjoys how animated you get when you go on rants about your special interests. He’s very versed in history and folklore as well, although not American comics, so he would listen intently as you teach him all you know. 

As an ESTJ, you would be very grounding for him (an INTJ), while still having a great deal in common. The both of you value an intellectual connection in a relationship while your more empathetic, extroverted side would help push him to see the truth of humanity where he may previously have only seen things in shades of black and white. You both strive for the best, and that suits you just fine with your perfectionism, but do be warned, there may be times you don’t see eye to eye. What you hold as most important in an issue or debate may be different than what he holds. Remember to be patient. INTJs are prone to stubbornness, but being a Type A personality, I do not doubt that you’ll be able to handle any contrary moods of his just fine. 

Your thoughtlessness can also be a source of discourse within the relationship, as Dracula is bound to worry about you. You’re human, you're fragile and under so much pressure. He cares deeply for you and does not want to see you hurt. The one advantage you do have, however, is your humility. It keeps you from being both arrogant and thoughtless which is a much more dangerous combination. So long as you are aware enough of your limits, and keep your wits about you the best you can, Dracula promises to trust you enough to let you come and go as you need to, so long as you’re willing to admit when you need help. But with your best trait being your humility, that shouldn't be a problem. 

Dracula is so touched by your acts of service. Being such an ancient and scary vampire no one ever thought to make him tea or ask if he needed help with anything. He feels so fortunate to have a partner who does not see him solely as ‘Dracula’, Lord of Vampires, but as Vlad Tepes, a man at heart. 

Not to mention your size difference is too adorable for words. He’s so tall and you’re so tiny… He always kneels whenever you ask for a kiss, he’ll never ask you to step on a stool or climb a ladder to reach him. He’s more than happy to come to you. He loves you. You are his new light, his new reason to believe in humanity. 

Alucard (Adrian Tepes) could also be a good match for you! He’s an ambivert like you, although he may not admit it. He’s the son of a scholar and a doctor, so he’s very understanding when it comes to your education and career. And his empathetic nature makes him extremely compatible with your considerate one. 

As Alucard is a dhampir and immortal, this matchup could work in either medieval times or modern times. For the sake of this matchup, imagine whatever you might prefer. 

Alucard hasn’t always had the best experience when it comes to sex. Granted, you can’t judge every potential future experience based on one horrible one, but he’s not the kind of guy who jumps into bed easily. He has reservations and feels very insecure about the whole act. Should he ever engage in it, he’d need a partner who’s very understanding, or just as nervous as he is about the whole thing. In hindsight, I don’t think Alucard would mind not having all that much sex: for him, your continued company means more than any sexual endeavor could. 

Alucard is very impressed with your decision to go into pre med. He knows how much work that means you’re going to be undertaking, and he’ll do whatever he can to support you, either in your studies or in your personal life. He’s very well-read and rather educated on biology as his mother was a physician, so feel free to ask him any questions or have him quiz you before exams. He’s also a bit of an obsessive lover. When he decides he likes someone, he makes a point to memorize that person. (Recall the Trevor and Sypha dolls?) He wants to know what you think and why you think it. That way, he can anticipate your thoughts or needs. 

And he does quite enjoy it when you sing to him, especially if you sing him to sleep. Sleep hasn't always come easy to him, but with your presence and your lovely voice, it’s as if an angel is singing him a lullaby. I also believe Alucard would absolutely thrive playing TTRPG: he’s sarcastic, smart and strategic. I really think he’d dominate any campaign he set his mind to. Plus, it’d be great socialization for him besides you. 

As an ESTJ you’re fairly compatible with Alucard’s INFJ. You’re just extroverted enough to pull him out of his idealistic daydreams, but grounded and predictable enough not to shake his confidence or trust in you/your relationship. The only possible issue is that INFJs can sometimes get caught up in the fantastical destiny of it all: it’s about people and purpose. Whereas ESTJs tend to be a bit more practical- you value reality and stability a bit more than potential and daydreams. But I don’t envision this to be a huge problem, so long as you push communication with Alucard. He internalizes a lot. He’ll need to be reminded to share his inner feelings. So long as you do that, I don’t see any major discourse between you two. 

Alucard may be a little disappointed in your moments of thoughtlessness, but at the same time, he finds them endearing. You try so hard: you’re a perfectionist like he is, and even though you’re only human, you strive for the same greatness. It’s rather admirable. He likes that about you. 

Alucard would also be very touched by your acts of service, mainly because he often finds himself doing the service for others. It’s nice to be taken care of for a change. And he is very happy to spend quality time with you. He’d follow you everywhere if you let him. So long as he’s near you, he feels complete. He’s always leaning down to give you soft forehead kisses whenever you’re around. You’re so precious to him.

₍⁠₍ SPEAK NO EViL ₎⁠₎ ~ CH. 2

[ a kylian mbappe series ]

SYNOPSiS ! it's summer break, where, yes, academic freedom ensues, but for stellar, upcoming young football stars, an unmissable opportunity springs. bondy elite summer academy prepares its youth for the professional world, and inevitably, everybody is hungry to succeed. girl or boy. life isn't kind to 18 year old kylian mbappe, and being mute seems to be a limiting factor of his progress. but once he's accepted into the football camp, he's determined to prove that his football speaks for itself. yet, in the midst of fatal determination and apathetic competitiveness, he doesn't expect to grow intrigue for [y/n], a profound player in the camp's feminine unit, whose kindness and exquisite skill awakens a visceral feeling within kylian, showing him someone else that he could love in a world filled with hate.

PAiRiNG ! mute!kylian x fem!reader | fem!reader x oc!boyfriend

A/N !  i would like to first sincerely apologise for the super long wait. life's been 🫨 but we move. i just love how i’ve written kylian and ethan’s relationship here 😭 like im over here shitting tears and scraping paints off walls cos they’re honestly too wholesome and the best brothers to exist (canonically and prbly irl but who knows?). brice and kylian’s bromance is BROMANCING, lemme just say; im very proud of the characterisation i’ve established for everyone tbh. anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter! things get a little bit more yk 👀 so im very excited for you lot to read this hehehe. tell me your thoughts in my askbox, i’m very eager to know 🤍

SERiES MASTERLiST ! here!

TAGLiST ! [ ask here, those in bold i couldn't tag ] @sad1esgf @ts1mp0ne @fezlvr @ippid @kyksgirl @user6373738 @kenjekwownwjn @lalunaenamoradasworld @mywhimsyjournal @imagesthatlive @heli991113 @cinderellawithashoe

the moment kylian exits the car, he’s encompassed by a wave of thick disbelief. his eyes seem stitched to the grandeur building that stands before him; it’s all glass, glittering in the sunlight that bleeds incinerating heat upon the earth below, and it sends the boy into a frenzy. hasn’t seen infrastructure that screams money to such an extent.

he flaps a hand in front of his face, fanning himself, although rather futile. brice, from the other side of the vehicle, walks up beside him, crossing his arms as he leans on the door.

“wow… just wow.”

kylian turns to face him, arching an eyebrow, as he signs, “haven’t you been here before? moreover, many, many times?”

they’re in public, and as usual, kylian finds his throat go stagnant and brain go blank, so decides to use his hands instead. he’s ever so grateful for brice’s present at that moment.

“yeah, but,” brice exhales, almost wistfully, “it’s always better in person.”

“you’re right about that.”

kylian’s father rolls his suitcase towards him, dumping his duffel bag on top. a smile, a proud one, is ever present on his face, akin to kylian’s. he knows his father sees himself in him, has so much faith in him, and it’s a driving force of his purpose here. not just for him, but his whole family; a referral is the only thing that gleams in his conscience, knows that he mustn’t let the 5 weeks be in vain.

wilfried puts a gentle, fatherly hand on his son’s shoulder, a grounding gesture that speaks much to kylian’s mind. 

“do well, hm?”

“you mean, like i always do?” a cheshire grin fills his face, and it makes his father laugh.

“yes,” wilfried nods and chuckles, “like you always do, kylian mbappe.”

ethan materialises out of nowhere, hooking an arm over his brother’s shoulder. kylian almost pushes him off, but for the sake of goodbyes and farewells (for only 5 weeks, yes, but he’s never been away from ethan for even half of that), he tolerates his sudden attachment. 

“that hurt, you know?” kylian brusquely signs. ethan removes his arm as he returns a sheepish, “sorry,” before resting his head upon his brother’s shoulder. 

kylian exhales, then limply signs, “i’ll miss you bad.”

“it’s only 5 weeks?”

he looks at ethan incredulously, “only 5 weeks, you say? okay then. don’t call or text me at all.”

“you did not need to go there,” ethan’s response is deadpanned and immediate, making his older brother grin widely. kylian would definitely miss this. life will feel slightly sloped and discrepant without ethan’s constant antics, but kylian knows that his career comes with sacrifices, the most obvious one being stepping out of his comfort zone: the restricting boundaries that sees him remaining inert within the lines of local club football. 

bondy is the light at the end of the tunnel, and kylian just hopes that the journey would be worth it.

ethan snaps him out of his mental dally with a tight side hug, then he realises that it’s time for him to depart and register himself in. beyond a certain point, marked out by a blue roped barrier hanging from gold posts (a colour combination kylian would need to get used to for the next month and more, all in the name of bondy patriarchy), family members are prohibited, and so last words are to be said within the parking lot. 

“i will miss you,” ethan mumbles. evokes a smile out of kylian as he notices ethan’s hesitation, “believe me, i know.”

from behind him, his father urges him to go as a line of participants accumulate, and begins to feel the trepidation press against his heart.

“love you, bro.” ethan signs. his mind screams, ‘don’t go, don’t go, don’t go.’

kylian’s mind shrieks, ‘don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.’

“that referral is yours.”

masks a pained smile behind a light-hearted one, ruffling ethan’s hair as he received a glare back. god, he’ll miss ethan more than he fathomed.

“it is.”

then they fistbump, for the last time.

+_-

inside is cool and dry, differing from the hot, humid, sticky air outside that had clung feverishly to skin. the interior structure of the academy puts its external counterpart to utter shame. high ceilings, suspending blue-jewel-embezzled chandeliers, ribbons of gold and royal blue traced in half-wave curves along the walls that seem to be the only thing in this unfathomable-acred campus that don't  abide by the fervid colour scheme. kylian has never seen as many trophies in one glass cabinet (or, rather, walk-in closet; it is massive) as what just stood in the far corner of the foyer. 

“close your mouth, ky,” brice leans in and whispers, snickering. they are unlucky, having to join the right foot of the queue after spending a few extra minutes receiving last minute warnings and advice from their mothers especially. nothing with ill intentions, but rather harsh loving concern. 

kylian immediately shuts his mouth, flushed. brice grins wider, shoving a hand atop kylian’s hair and rubbing it roughly. he’s immediately slapped away and sent on his way with a pointed glare. 

“you're a heathen."

brice snickers, albeit loudly, "right back at you."

they're both taken aback as two boys right in front of them, identical twins they suppose because they look eerily akin, glance behind with looks of confused judgement. the exchange is swift and they turn to face ahead no more than a second later, before huddling close to the other, and swapping whispers. 

their thoughts, though internal, are vehemently blatant to kylian. from a retrospective point of view, he understands– it's as if brice had talked to thin air. he nudges his friend beside, and dejectedly gestures, "sign, please."

brice's understanding is immediate, and rather apologetically, he responds, "okay, sorry." 

"don't be."

they stand and shuffle down the line in silence. it's unlike brice to be wordless for such an extended period of time, but as for kylian, it's second nature. an hour passes, they've only progressed by half of the queue, and its obvious that brice is becoming restless. they haven't sat once, and although kylian had suggested he sit on his suitcase (it was undoubtedly big enough), he refused, saying that it wasn't strong enough to bear his weight. 

"you good, b?"

brice catches him a second too late in his peripheral vision, and asks him to repeat.

"i said, are you good?"

"it's like you're asking me to fight," brice signs humourously, "but yeah, i'm good. just… buzzing with every feeling you could think of."

kylian nods, but brice's words simmer properly, and he then realises what he had said, "every feeling? so you feel… angry, con-"

"why wouldn't i be?"

kylian's delirious, "why… would you be?"

he watches as brice glares at the boys in front of them, and he sighs, "i thought you would've gotten used to it by now, brice."

"you're my best friend— practically practically a brother to me. why would i just let it go, moreover, get 'used to it'?"

kylian notices how his signs get more rapid and hard to decipher. he has a habit of merging two words- subconsciously, he doesn't blame him- or missing out words entirely when he's angry. he stares more intently to understand his friend. 

"i get you. but you're doing more harm than good when you retaliate."

brice doesn't sign back, and huffs begrudgingly. they fall into a prolonged silence once again, and it takes another half an hour before the reach the front counter. 

"welcome to bondy academy! can i please have your names and factions?"

the receptionist is a young woman, probably only 3-4 years older than the two, with honey skin and honey skin and a frizzy afro. kylian looks at her gold-and-blue name tag and sees the name 'genevieve' written in bold black. 

brice gives her a friendy smile, "my name is brice tchaga and his," he points at his friend, "is kylian mbappé. we're both in elite. we’re both in elite."

she nods, typing their names into the computer before again, nodding affirmatively again. she slides a clipboard upon the counter with a pen, and asks them to write their signature next to their name. brice does so, and slides it to kylian, who looks at him and discreetly signs, "i don't have a signature."

"you don't?" brice's face morphs into one of subtle surprise as kylian nods his head. 

"just… make up one. or just write your name fancily, it's not that important here."

kylian is acquiescent, and as brice waits for him to finish writing, he looks up to see genevieve looking at them. her eyes, however, hold no malice, and rather watches them, smiling. 

"you both sign?"

brice's mouth falls agape, "you sign?"

genevieve chuckles, "yeah. my mother is deaf so i had to learn early."

by now, kylian's noticed the exchange between the two, brice turning to him for permission to share his reason. he gives him a look, and brice knows that kylian can handle himself. he's probably happy that he's found a common ground with someone who's not brice, even though she may only be the receptionist. 

"i've been selectively mute for a while, so i talk mostly by signing. brice here is my translator, i guess— wow, now i'm trauma dumping."

kylian is ever-glad that it's practically just the three of them in the foyer, save a couple of bustling workers who are too busy to notice them. 

genevieve laughs heartily, grabbing two gold lanyards from beside her before handing it to the both of them. 

"don't worry, you're good. those are your id and keycards by the way. you lose them, you have no access into your room for the next 24 hours."

kylian scrutinises his and makes a face when he notices the rather unflattering photo they had used. 

"you two are running late now, so i'll let you go," genvieve says. her face suddenly turns stoic, "my only advice is to keep your head down, not everyone here is as nice as i am."

"i did come here expecting the worst, to be honest."

"pessimist."

"i'm being practical, brice."

genvieve intervenes, "it's not all that bad. arguably the best football experience you'll ever have before going professional."

she glances at her watch, alarmed, "okay, i really have to let you go now. the conference room is through those doors, down the stairs, and then the first door on your right."

kylian smiles at her, and expresses his gratitude as brice does the same. she dismisses it with a graceful wave of her hand.

"i'll be rooting for the both of you," genevieve chides, then signs, "good luck."

hopeful and with spirits elevated, brice and kylian amble to the conference room. it’s capacity is just as expected, if not larger, occupied by gold-rimmed blue chairs which accommodate several other competitors, in 6 rows of ten. their entrance alerts those already seated, and a few turn around to take a glance. he wasn’t expecting to see all factions congregating simultaneously, observing the range of ages situated around the room. kylian feels the heat of anxiety nip at his skin, and as he and brice stroll to take their seats, he begins to feel nauseous. 

it’s only a few seconds later when a man, with salt and pepper hair and clad in a suit of a colour that quite frankly, kylian is absolutely tired of seeing and it’s only his first day, walks in. his aura of assertiveness is palpable, and as he, along with a few other adults, take their stand on the pulpit before them, the whole room falls silent.

a lean man, dressed in casual sporting gear and first born trainers steps forward, "all rise.'

a ripple of shuffling bodies and chairs permeates around the room. kylian observes his surroundings, analyses how he, along with brice, are one of the shortest boys in the elite faction. he grumbles internally at that. 

the same voice tells them to sit, and the audience obeys, then the room slithers into another deafening quietude. it feels as if it's prohibited to even breathe and kylian can sense his hands gathering with sweat. 

"good morning bondy," the same distinguished man from earlier pronounces, voice detailed with bass, "my name is jacob dubois and it is an utmost pleasure to have all 60 of you here; i hope the appreciation is reciprocated."

a few nods come from the kids around him and slight relief washes over kylian as he realises that they are free to move. 

"you all have been selectively chosen to come here. we didn't choose random aspirants, but ones who show passion, determination and most of all, potential." 

kylian's fingers tingle with excitement. he's here for a reason. 

"thus, we expect all of you to follow our ethos with pride."

formalities extend for more than half an hour, kylian feels his buttcheeks ache and has had to nudge brice awake numerous times. 

"did you not sleep?"

"i did," he signs back sluggishly, "this talk is always boring."

kylian can't deny that, shaking his head with a small grin. 

as the clock strikes 11am, an hour since they had entered the room, the director finally graces them with the technicalities of the regime itself. 

"your 5 weeks here will be filled with training, educational trips, end-of-week assessments and, most importantly, improvement. you're expected to be up at 5am everyday-"

murmurs erupt, mostly by the younger factions, and mr dubois brings a palm up to silence them. 

"-and curfew is at 9pm. anybody who is seen outside of their accommodation past this hour will be punished."

he waits for any objections, doesn't get any, and proceeds. 

"today is your first day of training. you'll first be taken to your rooms where your kit will be, then receive a tour of the campus. all factions will congregate in their designated parlour where their head coach will give itineraries, and tell you what to do next."

"who's ours?" kylian asks brice, and he shrugs, "dunno. i was asleep at that part."

rolling his eyes, kylian shifts his focus back to the man behind the pulpit. 

"i wish all of you the best, and may the best 3 get their referrals."

a round of applause ensues as the line of coaches upfront move towards where they were sat, and, kylian guesses she's the junior faction's head coach, a tall woman with blond hair orders the kids sat right at the front to stand. they leave the room with their rolling luggages and the rest move into hushed, murmuring chatter. 

"that was long for no reason," brice stretches his neck as he signs, yawning. 

"i know, but sleeping? i thought you said you got 8 hours."

"well, i could barely sleep for 5. my aim was 8."

kylian brings a hand to brice's head, pushing it down to his shoulder. 

"sleep for a bit, something's telling me we'll be here a while."

the boy snuggles in immediately, whispering a 'thank you', in which kylian just pats his knee in response. 

by the time they're summoned, it's been another half hour. kylian taps brice awake, signalling at the suitcase, grateful that brice catches on quickly. his stomach churns in hunger, yet knows they won't be eating for while. 

their head coach, kylian comes to learn, is coach moreau; dark-skinned, averagely talk with dark facial hair. he's not as intimidating as mr dubois, but both kylian and brice can smell his sternness from a mile away. 

"your rooms are on the other side of campus so we'll have to walk to get there. at the lobby, i'll give you your door numbers and you can find your way. please keep your keycards safe, you hear?"

they all nod, and some verbally express their affirmatives.

"good. let's go."

their amble is a good 5 minutes, and both boys, at the end, don't see the need of having a tour. they had passed everything they could think of, and they wonder just what more bondy could have. 

the accommodation is a sleek mini apartment complex, in kylian's words, and seeing as though it only seemed to have one floor, he's unsure if it'll fit all 20 of them. the main door is cut from space grey tempered glass and two security men stand mightily at the entrance, greeting coach moreau, shaking hands.

he then turns towards them again, "feminine and masculine units are separated. this building is for the boys and the girls' complex is behind this one."

kylian ignores the defeated sighs that come from a few boys in front of them as brice glances at him.

"get settled and dressed in your kits by," he checks his watch and gives a reasonable time, "12.15. do not wear your boots indoors, at all, so please keep them in the string bag we've provided for you. let's start rooming you lot."

pairs of names are stated with their room number and little by little, the group breaks off. kylian and brice's names come last, and they are given the number 5b.

they move towards the elevator, waiting for it to come back down. the metal doors slide open and they shuffle inside, kylian just about catching the sight of the girls leaving as the doors shut again. 

brice releases an exaggerated sigh, "i need sleep."

"we've got a whole day ahead of us, if you're able to, you should buy some lucozade at lunch."

brice shakes his head, "i stay clear of those things, mr addicted-to-energy-drinks."

kylian huffs, throwing his hands in the air, "i'm not addicted, i just have one a day."

"have or need?"

kylian throws him a deadpanned look as the elevator opens, giving him the middle finger. brice snickers and follows him out, both looking at the doors they pass for their room. they reach the end of the corridor before finding it, and brice uses his card to open the door. 

"holy. fucking. shit."

brice drops the handle of his suitcase, rushing in like a child gone feral at a candy shop. kylian rolls his eyes as he picks it up, but then freezes when he notices the interior. 

the entire space as soon as they enter, is an enormous area of the living room. it's just about bigger than brice's own bedroom back at home (which, in turn, is much larger than kylian's) and everything feels too fresh to touch. a colour scheme of dark grey and white occupies the space, a large bondy logo  stuck on an empty wall in dark blue. 

"i'm surprised they didn't dump a bright gold sofa here," brice teases, and kylian hums in agreement, "with you on that one. i'm getting tired of seeing those colours, i swear."

brice opens one of the doors, notices that it's the bathroom, then closes it again. 

"restroom?"

"yup."

brice goes to the one not far from the one he had just opened and storms inside screaming, "dibs this one!"

that triggers kylian, who runs to the room, completely astonished at the size. there's no way in hell that the other one's bigger. 

brice jumps back first upon the bed, closing his eyes in bliss, " 've missed these beds."

kylian leans on the door frame, watching his friend in faux disdain, "didn't even give me a chance to fight for this room."

"it doesn't work like that, ky."

"you're sick."

he moves back upright, walking to the room beside brice's, and is succumbed by shock. 

just what more surprises does bondy have?

his room is marginally larger than his friend's, a large king sized bed, protruding outwards from the wall situated to his right. a white desk sits near the window, which overlooks the bondy campus, and beside that, a white-washed timber wardrobe. 

he grants brice the peace of mind at the moment, smirking to himself, and shuts the door quietly as he moves into the room. on the bed is a navy blue string bag, and kylian picks it up. the material is light yet sturdy, feeling the thin material of his kit inside, then he tugs it open. 

the attire is navy blue, with one thick gold stripe running vertically on the left, the crest sitting right on top. he smiles warmly as he turns it around and sees his surname etched in gold as well. there's no number. he's the number 7 in his club, and knows he needs to prove that he's worthy of it here. 

he changes into his kit and glances at the clock. it reads 12pm, and kylian exits his room to retrieve his case just his friend does the same. 

"i feel expensive," brice chides, kylian agreeing. he's also clad in his kit, everything completely identical apart from the name scribbled on his back. 

"we only have 15 minutes to unpack," kylian informs as brice wheels his suitcase into the room. 

"i probably won't do all of it– only half."

they both sort out their wardrobe, almost getting carried away as brice barges into kylian's room telling him that they have 2 minutes to spare. they decide to take the stairs this time, woe betide them they leave their keycards, and reach the lobby just as coach moreau gets there too. 

through the glass door awaits the feminine half of their faction, already socialising as a group, and kylian feels his chest dip. he tries not to think about it too much, afterall, he has brice, and it'll be very unlike his friend to ditch him for someone else during their say. 

coach moreau moves them outside before talking, "we'll begin the tour down the south wing- here- before moving towards north. i hope all of you are ready because this campus is big."

brice leans into kylian and whispers, "you don't say." kylian breaks into a smile, pushing his friend gently. 

during the hour the spend walking- walking!- around bondy's grounds, kylian's brain overspills with information that flies into his ear and out the other. salvages as little as the fact that south wing consists of their dorms, from junior to elite, and leisure spaces whereas its north counterpart inhabits the main and training pitches, every type of hall you could think of, separate parlours for factions to bask in and the canteen. 

brices legs are completely spent, kylian's no different, and once they make their way into their designated space, brice wastes no time to sit on the blue settee. 

"okay everybody, take a seat," coach moreau's voice comes from behind the bunch. they all find a place to sit as the man stands at the front. 

“since i’m sure not everyone knows each other here, we’ll do short introductions. you can state your full name if you want, and what club you currently play for,” his eyes scan the room. the passion is definitely there, that’s undeniable, and coach moreau can see more potential than he ever has. “football is not just about skill and playing, but forming relationships with your teammates, as well. remember, bondy is competitive, but do not let it get to your heads, okay?”

a chorus of ‘yes coach’ follows, and he smiles at the teenagers before him. kylian’s brain seems to go stagnant and he feels scorched all over. he hadn’t planned for this, isn’t prepared. brice looks at him, silently asking if he’s okay, but he doesn’t find it in him to respond. before brice could initiate his concern, verbally, their coach is speaking again.

“alright, we’ll go clockwise, i’ll start; i’m coach moreau and i’ve been coaching here for about 20 years now. i’m normally accompanied by coach lambert, who teaches the feminine unit, but she’s been off for the past few hours. she should be back for training later today.”

the next boy starts to speak. he’s tan skinned, with dark brown hair that’s completely shaved into a buzzcut, “i’m zion saez and i play for l’aigles.” 

the girl beside him shoots him a grin, and he returns it. if anyone present was any dumber, it would be unknown that they’re a couple. they try to be discreet, but their fleeting, prolonged touches sell them out. 

“i’m [y/n], and i also play for l’aigles,” zion’s girlfriend states after. a girl beside her begins her introduction, and before kylian could fathom, it’s his turn. he doesn’t speak- for god’s sake he can’t- and the silence is nibbling at his ears. 

“boy, it’s your turn,” coach moreau’s voice penetrates into the room. everyone’s staring, their eyes dig into his skin, and he brings his hands up to sign. he’s shaking, but hopes that brice can determine it good enough.

“i’m kylian, and i play for loc.”

no one makes a sound afterwards, and his heart collapses in on itself. coach moreau looks at him, his eyes speak of something he cannot understand, then a voice comes from his far left. 

“can you not speak?” his tone is almost degrading, and the humiliation that permeates through kylian is an understatement. 

“he’s mute,” brice seethes, “there’s no reason to be rude about it.”

the boy doesn’t respond, staring at brice with his face crumpled in scorn, and kylian nudges him to let it go. an expectant, yet awkward silence commences, and kylian has to nudge brice again, knowing that in his state of anger, his self-awareness is absent. 

“brice. i play for toc too.”

coach moreau’s gaze interchanges between zion and brice, then he says, “what i said before isn’t a joke. football is about respect, and you’re taught that from early, or am i lying?”

there’s no reply, and he repeats himself, louder and miffed, “am i lying?! zion? brice?”

a collective, murmured ‘no coach’ comes from the both of them, and coach moreau hums. 

“i’m glad i’m being heard. let’s go to lunch.”

+_-

their first training session succeeds after their lunch break, in which the meal was a simple plate of pasta, but kylian had to get seconds. the more bondy surprises him, the more he thinks there’s a catch. privilege cannot come so effortlessly and also have him running scot-free; he leaves that thought for his future self, though. 

coach moreau has gathered them at the centre of one of the training pitches, with the feminine unit on another with coach lambert, after an exertive warm-up and drills ensemble. 

“i feel like i’ve played a full 90,” brice complains to kylian as he stands beside him. his friend pats his shoulder apologetically.

“since it’s your first day, i think a good game of 5-a-side will really establish the skill we have in this team, don’t you think?”

a cacophony of excited cheers and hollers come from the boys and adrenaline finally pumps within kylian. 

“team one will have…” he scans his clipboard, “brice, joel, kylian, rafael and kody. the rest of you on team two, get yourself some green bibs, you’ll be shooting to the goal on my right. let’s get going boys.”

kylian and brice get in position as they wait for the opposing team to situate themselves. once they do, the game begins with the shrill sound of coach moreau’s whistle, and kylian is already dashing for the ball. it’s passed to someone else on the green-bib team before he can reach it, and as brice is closer, he’s able to tackle it off the boy. he passes it back to kylian, who makes a run for the goal.

his speed gives coach moreau whiplash, he has never seen such like it; it’s almost an art to watch, elegantly swift and gets faster with every metre he runs. he circles kylian’s name and goes back to watching the game, just quick enough to notice zion barge into kylian with such vigour that he tumbles out of the pitch. he pushes his whistle between his lips and blows it forcefully. 

everything happens with hastened velocity. kylian is quick to regenerate himself, standing up and immediately shoves zion’s back with all his strength. his sides throbs with a dull ache from the collision prior, yet all he sees is red as zion’s face comes uncomfortably close to his, lips stretched in a sickening smile as he taunts kylian. 

“what are you gonna do, huh? you can’t even talk, you fucking freak.”

then he’s dragged away by coach moreau before his fist can even come close to zion’s cheek.

(she/her 🕸️)

As to my prior question -but on a less angsty note haha-, if Alucard were to be with his parents again after everything went down and they cleared the air after meeting (or if you want to go off your prior answer to the last similar question) what do you think would be he his favorite thing to do with his parents?

In my opinion, i’d think he’d love catching up with Lisa on her studies in science and idk why I see them planting and gardening together haha. Ooh maybe Alucard would teach her the recipes he’d come across when she was gone all those years!

With Dracula, I think they’d drink wine together in silence or maybe have conversation. Idk why I can also see them reading in the same room close together as a bonding moment. I have no idea if this is canon or not but I’ve seen fanart of Dracula painting and being good at it, maybe he paints with Alucard 😭

How Alucard bonds with his parents!

Vlad

Academics! I can see them spending time in Vlad’s study, furthering their knowledge of various subjects. Perhaps conducting experiments, doing researches—some of them for Lisa’s clinic.

They would cook. Adrian gets his interesting recipes from Vlad. He knows recipes from all around the world and has amassed quite the impressive collection at the library. Adrian does most of it though… but their conversations throughout is something to treasure.

Sparring. Vlad definitely teaches his son a thing or two about survival and fighting techniques from time to time.

Travelling. Can you imagine? Father-son duo travelling around the world to witness different cultures, hear different music, try different food, and meet different people? Lisa sometimes joins, but she’s too tethered to their village that she often stays behind. She has a clinic to run!

Music. I bet Vlad has an impressive collection of various instruments and musical paraphernalia.

On quiet and cold nights, their small family might huddle up by the fireplace (more for Lisa’s comfort than anything). Vlad tells them stories from ages past. Things he’d witnessed, where he’d gone. His stories always fascinate Lisa and Adrian. Vlad is a natural story-teller, if only people got close enough to know.

Lisa

They’d do gardening together and plant herbal medicine and easy-to-grow vegetables. He enjoys watering them too, and would occasionally help her pick fruits from the orchard. He carries the basket for his mother, the sweet son that he is.

They’d enjoy peacefully fishing out in the nearby lake in ungodly hours. They’re both morning people. Vlad, of course, is out cold during these hours lol. They’d talk about anything and everything.

I’m convinced Adrian sometimes helps out at his mother’s clinic. He gets to meet various people and learn about humanity. He also furthers his medical education this way.

Adrian likes to help his mother with her house chores or errands in general. He will help her with most things if he can. He’s a mama’s boy and enjoys her presence. Besides, he’s very proud that Lisa has found her life’s purpose and if helping her out from time to time will help her with her work, he’s much obliged.

Shopping is always fun. They’d go to the town centre and go through Lisa’s shopping list, visiting their usual vendors and trying out different ones. Adrian doesn’t know much about haggling, but Lisa sure is an expert!

Riding! They ride together from time to time. Lisa is a human so she cannot just turn into a wolf or mist or fly/float to places, so… riding horses is a must. Adrian doesn’t mind joining her (but really, sometimes he just wants to escort her to protect her).

[haknom]

moot game! ship your moots with an idol and give them a trope!

I’m gna do the mutuals i talk to most and know most about… 😭

@hoonvrs + sunghoon from enha: are we shocked cs i’m not!!!! they would def be like golden retriever x black cat ykwim LIKE saints cigs smau but kinda diff LMAOO their love story would definitely have a silly and happy ending and their goofy climax/downfall would be ummmm OOO they promised to play msp each other but the other forgot 😂😂 LMAOO OR ENEMIES TO LOVERS CS SAINT IS ALWAYSSS FIGHTING ON MSP SO SHE WOULD DEF BEEF W SUNGHOON ON MSP 😭😭

@joomiu + mark from nct: my fave ‘canadians’ (inside joke 😂) they would be cute don’t even. their trope would be friends to lovers for sureee. LMAOO remember when saint was trying to make u a tag nat and went “boy to my shirt” (i still laugh at this) That would def be their way of asking each other out “mark would u be the boy to my shirt” BUE no cs if they had a story abt them i would def read it in one sitting ……..silly x silly It’s perfect.

@weoris + dk from svt: as much as i HATE to say it…. they would match pretty well. their vibes r similar and their energy is also the same. they say the most random stuff yet everyone starts dyinggg of laughter (I’m everyone loud and PROUD) their trope would be rivals to lovers w their friends playing matchmake. Like imagine their friends all decide to hangout without each other knowing they’re both gna be there (?) and when they meet up the two r like Um wtf! def became rivals in the stuco i do Not make the rules 🙏

@soov + kai from txt: are we shocked it’s not jungwon?!?!?!?! anyways they’d be like umm classmates to lovers (?) Like they attend the same orchestra lessons (IS THAT EVEN A THING) and js admire each other from afar. LIKE THOSE POETIC AND FORMAL LOVE STORIES AWW and they’re shy when it comes to each other Ooooo hear me out. rei would def be the one to make the first move tho Idk how she’s so bold (i don’t think she is 😭 LMAOO)

@hanniluvi + jake from enha: now this hear me out. academic rivals to lovers okay Okay? one of them is like “okay guys!!! time for my academic comeback” and is going sooo well until the other shows up and ruins their whole streak LOL like that would acc be cute idc what anyone says. Imagine their love story was a smau…. they’d def argue in variables at some point ☠️☠️☠️☠️ Yes soph i’m starting the very very smart soph agenda TRUSTTT ur number one fan 🙏

@flwoie + hyunjae from tbz: OOOOO they remind me of one of my olddd fics where they were strangers to lovers and fell in love at first sight. walking their dogs (sona do u even have one…) and Maybe sona’s dog (i swear u do Not have a dog) starts going ballistic and runs to hyunjae and his dog making her spill her coffee on his shirt!!!!! she’s apologizing like crazy and he’s js saying it’s okay and stuff and they’re both js chatting trying to come to a mutual agreement of how to deal w the incident while their dogs r js playing together. Then after that. they both go home and text their friends like there is NOOO tmrw abt the person they js saw 😂😂😂 their dogs would def be playing matchmaker LMAOO

@jongsie + riwoo from bnd: i feel like riwoo would be HELLA good at arguing w people and so is rae when it comes to fighting me istggg 😒😒😒 so therefore they’d have a lovers to exes to enemies to lovers type trope DANG THAT WAS LONGGG. they’re bickering and shit and when their friends are like “js kiss already gosh” and yes they get flustered and ‘disgusted’ at the thought when in reality they wouldn’t mind doing that….LMAOO! i think me listening to yours by raiden, chanyeol, leehi, and changmo is doing something…

@yenqa + jay from enha: OKAY! final mutual and i’d say their trope would be strangers to lovers and guitarist x pianist like think abt it they’re both musical geniuses who enjoy to play instruments in the abandoned music classroom at their school . They also had many chances to meet each other but were always one step delayed/ahead of one another sooo they never met Until they did!!! and hit it off immediately ykwim??? idk if that made sense but. they would def be greattt friends at first and the time either of them (leaning more towards jay) fall in love is when they watch the other (yen ofc!!!!) play at their school’s festival cs they look amazing and the tune sounds beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(bye i’m gna write all of these. they were acc such good ideas wth TIME TO MAKE THE SYBOPSIS!!!)

[lilscottishlesbian]

Ezras Ryoutei uniform that illegally took too long to draw and colouring in

The colouring is mid at best and I can’t draw feet for shit. Other than that here she is😭

Resting Bitch Face TM

Here’s some more random shit about her because I’m too lazy to write out her backstory yet

•Her full name is Lillian Ezra , she just prefer to be called Ezra. However this has cause her to get some nicknames like, Ezzy , Ezria , Lil Ez ,ect.

All lovingly gifted from Laito and it ticks her off every time.

•Academically she’s really smart but socially? She tries her best.

•She’s bad at picking up signs, like you could flirt with her like crazy and she would be so oblivious. Causing interesting interactions with her and Laito.

•Her love language is quality time. It doesn’t matter what you guys around doing. For example, Kyoko needed to finish of art assignments, Ezra would sit in the same room either reading , catching up on work or if Kyo wants , just talk shit. Would Sit with Quinn if Quinn wants to have a smoke on the roof, sometimes Ezra would have a smoke too.

•she’s terrible with words of affirmation, if you’ve done something successful or you’re proud of something she’ll give you nice smile or a hug(depends) and prey you know that she’s happy for you. Or you’ll get a “nice :)”. She’s trying y’all.

•can’t take compliments. Like she won’t deny anything but if you compliment her she’ll just look at you , wide eye having no clue on what to say and by the end you’ll get a “…thank you”

•Not a fan of PDA. Like her love language is explicit enough for the public eye. And cause she’s nervous when it comes to that stuff.

She loves spiders. Literally loves them. One time in school Quinn was SCREAMING and Ezra ran into the class where Quinn was sitting alone just to see Quinn standing on the table pointing at a very big and long legged spider.

Ezra seen it and was in aw. “Awww pretty little thing ain’t it?” “Ezra fucking kill it!”

Ezra (a vampire who’s killed and ate many vampires) looked at Quinn confused and sad “why would I do that it’s done nothing to you Quinny?”. So Ezra picked it up and brought it outside.

The poor lassie has the worst case of a resting bitch face but she is really nice.(mostly)

She’ll literally be a good day then someone would say “hey Lillian are you okie? You don’t look good” “…I’m fine?”

Laito and Yui both give her bi panic.

•Laito is obviously aware of this factor because you can’t get Jack shit past him and he literally teases her like it’s a 6 figure job while Yui doesn’t know(sweet sweet girl)

•Her and Reiji are similar in personality however Ezra ego is smaller and isn’t much of a perfectionist.

•She is fluent in French.(small headcannon all three tripelts are fluent in French cause of Cordelia and these wee fucks would purposefully plot shit in French because Reiji can’t understand them)

•This prompted Reiji to pay Ezra to spy on them since they were unaware at first. They were so confused on how Reiji knew but they finally clicked this started when Ezra arrived so Laito went up to Ezra whispered to her in French “we know what you did”.

•Ezra went straight to Reiji and this is how the conversation basically went

Ezra: Reiji we have a fucking problem

Reiji: Please refrain from using such language Ezra and please use proper grammar.

Ezra: My apologies Reiji , it appears that the Triplets are aware that I am fluent in French and caught on that it was I spying on them.

Reiji:..fuck.

•For awhile her and Kanato had to be separated because those two just would not get along. Like Laito would tease Ezra and Ezra would just insult him but Ezra and Kanato were at each others throats.

•They now (moderately) get along since they’re both freaky lil fuckers. Like ones a boderline necroflica and ones a cannibal.

•After while her favourite Sakamaki became Laito but she would rather sit in sun light with nothing on than tell him(he knows anyways and teases her about it)

•Her favourite Mukami has and will always be Azusa , he has asked her to bite him multiple times but Ezra said no because she’ll feel bad. Despite that they have always got along.

•She has given one of Kous fan girls a black eye due to the girl given Yui unnecessarily shit. She then threatened the life of said fan girl plus the girls friends and family if the bitch ever snitched on Ezra and the girl later on apologised to Yui. The girl always flinches around Ezra now.

•Kou was gonna ask Ezra about it but he had a photoshoot the next day and couldn’t risk a black eye.(cunt)

•Her kill count is higher than Laitos body count. No more contexts.

Dream girl wants you to know that Jungkook stresses her out😮‍💨

I realised today that when you replied to my ask, you asked me how I was and ma’am my mother would yell at me for not responding to your kind question, but also I don’t want to bombard you with asks because I understand you get a lot of them and they can be overwhelming!

I am doing well, stressed but surviving tbh, thank you so much for asking🌸 Law is kicking my butt though, but we’re about to enter the final stretch before I finish my student days,

(at this moment, I just realised I will be losing my student discounted Apple Music, this rlly cool discount app for students in my country- you get like kfc, Burger King and other restaurants and clothing retailer discounts it’s rlly cool AND I’m going to have to start paying full price to visit the aquarium and the planetarium????)

Other than that, I’m swell!

Im almost caught up on cmi and I’ve been iiiiitching to come to you with a lil review because wowwwww but let me just read up until the last update so I can do your work justice😚

Oh, I wanted to tell you that you remind me of my best friend (don’t worry, I am not trying to parasocialize- is this a word- lmao) with the way you respond to people and like your tone and stuff, it just reminds me of her and she’s just as kind and considerate as you are!

DISCLAIMER: I’m not like trying to idk 👀👀👀👀 you (I can’t think of the word, is it spy???)… y’know… like I’m not trying to dig personal info out of you

Omg no we are not invasive ppl, I am mannered! occasionally

BABE LITERALLY, WHY ARE YOU SO FKN SWEET 😭😭😭 you can bombard me with messages!! even if i don't get to answer all of them immediately, i read them and they make me smile and i get to them eventually.. but tysm for being considerate 🥺

i'm so proud of you for coming this far. law is so fkn hard, so i can't imagine how good (and stressful) it must feel to near the end. AND I FEEL THAT LMAO. i lost a lot of privileges during the time i didn't study.. i'm doing my master's rn tho, so we're back at using cheap ass spotify and getting discount at dunkin' donuts lmaoo

#and oh my gosh cmi !! i'm so freaking excited to hear what u think 🤧 tyt !! #🤍🤍🤍 #notes for rid 🌹 #dreamgirl anon 💭 #fic: colour me in #long ask

[always-andromeda]

Meda, i am well and truly SOBBING 😭😭🥰🥰 your words in your response to my last ask were so so so so so incredibly sweet and I can't even express to you how much it meant to me to read them 🥹🥹☺️😭

and HELL YEAH WEIRD KIDS UNITE!!!!!! I was also majorly into the titanic (and shipwrecks in general) and I actually got that enormous lego titanic and it takes up the top of like two of my bookshelves 😅

in terms of weirdness, my specialty tends to be in macabre history, so I'll bring the stories about body snatching and that time I almost could have gotten Certified Vintage Victorian Smallpox™️ and you can tell me all about the Kennedy assassinations and true crime cases!! and we can bake treats while we do it!! ☺️☺️ honestly sounds like a dream 🥰

this is also a super random story but it's related to being The Weird Kid and really made me laugh: so at the end of the semester I asked my students what was one thing they learned from the class. it didn't have to be like a dry academic fact or anything, just something super cool or shocking or mind-blowing or whatever - something they would remember after the course ends. and in one of my sections I had one student say "I don't think I can ever forget how you told us that the Victorians ate mummies" and another one who said "pretty sure I'm always going to remember that time when you explained how they buried too many bodies in the cemeteries of Edinburgh and when it rained that one time all the decomposing corpses just floated out into the street." like, I am so incredibly proud that this is my legacy 😂😂

I think that's about all I have for the moment, but I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself! I made a chocolate cake yesterday and I'm about to frost it with my famous Nutella frosting, so I'm cutting a slice and virtually sharing it with you 🥰🥰

love and hugs always,

charlotte 🎨

I owe you a massive apology, Charlotte, for taking so long to get to this!! I’ve been sick for the last week and this ask just got buried in my notifications and I didn’t see it until recently. So apologies for that and thanking you endlessly for the virtual cake!! I’m sure it was absolutely delicious!! 🥰

(Putting a read more cut because I ended up typing up a lot more than I thought I would lol)

That all being said, you talking about your Lego Titanic reminded me of a little memory I have. When I was thirteen and on a trip to Las Vegas, there was this Titanic exhibit at one of the hotels on the Vegas Strip. They had recreations of various rooms from the ship and even a little section of the ship itself?? I’ll include pictures because I swear, it was one of the coolest experiences ever. It was equal parts euphoric because it was a hyperfixation of mine at the time and I was going into such overload but also kind of haunting because of this one detail.

When you started the experience, they’d give you a ticket with the name and information of some random passenger. You’d get to see details of where on the ship they were staying, who they were traveling with, where they were going and everything. Then by the end of the whole experience, they had these massive walls that had the names of who died and who lived through the sinking. And I remember the card I got was for a woman who was traveling with her father and stayed in the servants quarters. And she didn’t make it.

So being like…thirteen years old. It was this haunting experience sitting there and realizing that I now knew the existence of this woman that may have otherwise been inconsequential if she hadn’t died the way she did.

I’ve had a few different little experiences like that with certain museums and they’re certainly very emotionally heavy, but they’re meaningful to me. They fuel this want in me to be more connected with humanity? Which sounds super alien to say lol. But I just…it blows my mind sometimes knowing that as vast as the human experience is, it’s also so unifying to see how people before us experienced it.

Anyhoo, long ramble aside, UGH, I LOVE THAT STORY ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS. Sometimes I think that’s one of the greatest things about being neurodivergent. Just having the largest mental catalogue of absolutely bonkers information like that that almost no one else knows?? Like that’s how you get people interested in learning lmao.

I always love our little chats, Charlotte 🫶🏻🥺 I’m planning on making some brown butter chocolate chip cookies soon so just know that I’m saving a few to send to you virtually as well, dear. Take care of yourself!! So looking forward to the next time I hear from you!! 💛

#˚ʚ ask meda ɞ˚ #charlotte 🎨

[slytherinshua]

this is regarding the funky writing game!! D && F && H && L && S && T !! :D you don’t have to answer them all but those were the ones i was the most curious abt 🫣 LOVE U MWAH

THANK YOU FOR ASKING AXE IM SO EXCITED TO ANSWER THESE KSDJFKSDF

D - "is there a song or playlist you associate with [insert fic]?"

okay okay I feel like I semi associate wildest dreams by Taylor Swift with infamous together... and that's because I listened to that song on repeat like LITERALLY ON REPEAT while in the car while writing a large portion of infamous together... and like its just such tae vibes so rly any tae fic but especially that one!!

F - "share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it"

“This is the best day of my life. Besides the wedding part. But this.” You gestured to the scenery that lay before you both as Taehyun continued to drive away from the old town.

“This automobile is so old. I’m surprised it could go as fast as it did back there.” Taehyun told you with a laugh.

“Of course it did. You fixed it. The one and only, Kang Taehyun.”

“I’m not ‘the one and only, Kang Taehyun’.”

“You’re my one and only Kang Taehyun.”

“You are so annoying with your pickup lines-”

“But you love them.” You teased.

“But I love them.” He glanced at you with a smile on his face before focusing back on the road.

idk smth about this scene in drive was rly satisfying to write like they're running away together but still flirting with each other and I just thought it was cute <33

H - "how would you describe your style?"

this is a hard one... like idek???? I feel like most of it is just me thinking of these complex settings (which is why I like AUs sm) and then just writing down the words that I think of. tbh idek if my writing is good or not 💀I just try my best ig. and like I've read a lot since I was little so that helps with knowing how to write like... better? idek im making no sense lmaooo

L - "how many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting?"

it depends how long the fic sits rotting in my drafts. cause sometimes I write a fic in a day, and then the words just flow together so I do very little edited even I barely proof read 💀 but when its been in my drafts for a while and I've written like the beginning or smth before finishing it, I'll always re-read all of it and then re-write as much as I think is needed so it all makes sense and I can refresh my memory. Infamous together actually took a rly long time. It was originally supposed to be based on like that one halloween thing txt did where they all had spy code names. And Taehyun was "black card" and I was gonna use that as a big thing in the fic. But then I struggled with it for so long, and left it for m o n t h s. and then I finally found a way to finish it. But I actually erased everything I had written before and started completely fresh for that which sometimes happens.

S - "any fandom tropes you can't resist?"

hands down enemies to lover or rivals to lovers with taehyun. like I've written that... 3 times I think? (one of those no longer is published shhhh it was rly bad old writing) academic rivals slays so hard with him, any kind of mafia/secret agent slays as well. honestly I just eat it up every time I LOVE IT SM. also nurse trope. where like one of them is patching up the other sKSKSJDF OH MY GOD ITS SO GOOD THE TENSION CAN BE JUST SDJFSKNDFKSJDFHSKJ or when they're actually dating then its just super cute 😭 OH OH AND ANOTHER ONE IS KINDA WEIRD AND IDK WHY I LIKE IT SO MUCH.... but like. presumed dead?? like when one of them thinks the other is DEAD. but then they're not AND IDK I JUST THINK THE REUNION CAN BE CUTE. but im scared to attempt it and I don't come across it very often on Tumblr but I did a bit on wp.

T - "any fandom tropes you can't stand?"

« It's also such a relief to hear that my posts are interesting no matter the subject at hand. Oftentimes I wonder if I'm truly improving or not, so it has me absolutely elated to hear it from someone else outside the critical voice in my head that I'm keeping things interesting for others to read. Every day I'm learning new words and phrasings to incorporate in my own writing, which makes the asks I receive the perfect practice. I can only hope perhaps it can teach others as well and we can all learn together. » — your say.

First, I should tell you you should be proud of yourself. You’re a wondrous, an amazing writer. Every day when I go to tumblr, I visit tumblr accounts and you’re one of them. Your portrayal is CANON. Like, literally. You aren’t afraid of showing the true colors of MUKAMI Ruki, one of the reasons why I wanted to start a roleplay with you FIRST. Everything is amazing. You, improving ? Tell me you show how excellent are your writing skills please, but I know the modesty is what any artist ought to have. Our interactions are amazing, yesterday I was so happy when you sent me an ask ( about Virgina Woolf sorry I love this woman I want to CRY ) &. Ruki is one of my favorite characters because … I just feel like I am like him. Not the dark parts ofc. I am talking about his love for soup, responsibilities and literature’s passion. Anyway, you’re more than amazing and keep going. Don’t give up.

🧩 Oh my goodness, thank you so much!! This means so much to me.😭 Yes, I find much joy in displaying some of the more dark sides of Ruki for sure, his sadistic side included as well as his punishments. To be honest, I’ve never written anything like this before the creation of this blog, ahaha. I only wrote academic papers and essays, never anything fictional, so your kind words have offered me much reassurance. T_T I’m absolutely besotted with your writing. It’s flattering to roleplay with someone so, so talented. It’s people like you who help me improve, especially when I’ve never written with someone with such a beautifully verbose style. I’m looking forward to what you have to say in that ask and perhaps Ruki will have to visit the inbox more often. 👀👀👀Thank you again for your touching words of encouragement, seriously. Don’t worry, since I won’t be giving up any time soon. 😤❤️🧩

Hello foxy! How are you? I think I‘ve been MIA for like a month? Feels like an eternity. I’ve been lurking undercover in the meantime and I’ve been keeping track of everything you’ve posted so far so I can read it and enjoy once I’m in a better headspace. September started wonderfully since a family member passed away (Yep, another one, what a great year) and I’m honestly emotionally exhausted 😅 I spent these weeks trying to keep myself as busy as possible and then randomly bursting into tears and it’s frustrating as fuuuuck because I’m usually always rational and in control of my emotions so being all over the place is very new and scary and I don’t like it😵‍💫.

Anyway on the happy side I did my last exam for the first year😭❤️ (and if you have an idea of how (disorganized🥲) Italian university is you would understand how hard it is to do 7 exams in the actual span of an academic year so i’m very proud of myself 🎉). It was my English Exam and the reason I’m telling you this is because I mentioned you out of panic☺️✌🏻. There was a speaking assessment with a mother tongue teacher and as I was speaking he stopped me and asked me if had ever been to the US because of my accent (okay so telling you this is embarrassing AF because it feels like I’m bragging or that I think I’m the most important and unique English speaker in the world I SWEAR I DON’T PLEASE I HATE THIS EHEIIESJS. I have a strong American accent [which is probably not even an accent to you 😅] and erased any trace of “foreign” accent because I learned English when I was very young by hearing it on tv shows (hence, all the mistakes I make are because I learned grammar by hearing it in speech and never actually sat down to study it🤡) and everyone was American so that’s how I pronounce words now lol. Thank god you we can’t talk in person or there’s a chance you could humble me real quick😂). Anyway I explained it to him and he said “well but I’m assuming you have some American friends you keep in touch with” and don’t ask me why (maybe because you’re the only American person I “know” lol) I thought about you and I was thinking “okay so we never talked, I don’t know what her voice sounds like, don’t know her name and for all I know she could be a fever dream and never existed in this timeline” then I panicked and told him “yes, she’s a writer. Her name’s Rachel.” So now your name is Rachel. Take it or leave it🤪.

🌸

You have not missed much around here, it's the longest I've been quiet in two years 😭 I think I've posted like one thing a week for the last month or something, it feels pitiful, I'm so sad about it.

but OMG that story is so funnyyyyy. Didn't I give someone in one of my stories a girlfriend named Rachel? Maybe? Or did you think of Friends in your panic? Either way, it's so funny. But I'm not surprised your professor can tell you regularly speak to people in English, your English fluency is so natural seeming! Rachel haha. I wish that was actually my name and I could be like "woah that's crazy you guessed it!!" 😂

My voice is muppety and somewhat accented, unfortunately, despite my trying to completely shake my regional accent 😅

MOONEY MY FAVORITE OC WRITER I MISSED YOU

It's finally midterms season and for the first time in my life... I don't really care about my grades for the test.

You know how toxic the culture in the PH is about being an academically gifted child, right? I don't mean to come across as bragging but in some way I *am*academically gifted, but I'm a burned out academically gifted adult now trying to survive vs thrive in my course.

It's not that I don't like it, I actually love it so much

But I've reached the point where I just wany to start working with food more vs learning about the laws and stuff about education, which I can't escape sadly

But yeah, how are you? Sending you all the love!!

- with chaos and all the suman headed your way, TLE anon

P. S. I've successfully dragged two of my friends down the F1 rabbit hole and they are praising me for falling head over heels for Carlos and are now telling me, "Papaliparin ka na namin sa Mexico nyan, para makuha mo na ang retribution for the Filipinos" 😭😭😭

TLE ANONNNN MY BABYLOVE HONEY SUGAR PIE I MISSED U!!!!!!! 🥰

It’s good that you’ve allowed yourself to no longer care (that much) for your marks. I’m proud of you! You should take care of yourself first before getting back on that kinda mindset because tbh… you can’t function unless your brain’s been recharged.

I literally just got back from the campus after spending HOURS working on three things — two of which were research papers. I looked at my friend and said, “We’ve been here for too long I think we should head home.” So yeah! Now I’m on my bed and writing this hehe! Take care of yourself, alright??

As for me I uhhhh did my midterms! Thankfully my program didn’t require much exams so I got through them easily. One of my courses is grammar and composition and my midterm was… easy to say the least.

I got a 100 on my test hehehehehe~

But right now I’m just going to nap before doing my work again! Did I mention that I started writing smut yesterday? Not the greatest brag ever but people haven’t judged me for it so that’s a win 💀🤣

Sending you love and all the maple syrups in the country, Moony xx

P.S. tell ‘em we’ve been working on it 😭 this one’s for you Philippines 😋💅✨

10. What do you value in friendship and tell me about your best friend? 

One thing I value in friendship is quality time. My best friend is someone I met in sophomore year of high school. We met because we were put in the same table in Algebra 2H. We clicked right away talking about our common interests like Jungkook and kdramas. It never felt awkward with and and it always felt like we've known each other for ages. We always found time for each other despite our busy schedules and we always have things to talk about. This person is beyond amazing, she's extraordinary in dancing, singing, academics, acting, and taking care of her brother. She is so humble even though she is one of the most talented people I know. Over the summer, we hung out almost twice a week and it would never be boring because she always cracks me up with her silliness. Did I mention she's super funny too? We even went to Seattle over break and that was so eventful and definitely one for the books. Even though she goes to school in socal now and we talk less, I still feel happy for her every time she accomplishes something. I know I can always count on her being there for me and she is someone I can talk to about anything and won't have to worry about what they might say back. She's really special to me and I hope we'll be lifelong friends. I can't wait to see her in the summer and go on our super and unfortunately expensive big trip.

Quarantine emojis~ 😊😘😭😠👻👽☠️👾💍🐶🌤️🍕🍦🏆🎬🎸✈️

OK, let’s see here!

😊: What makes me happy is learning more about things that interest me. The more obscure the information, the more fascinating!

😘: I am not in love with anyone at the moment.

😭: Last thing I cried about was feeling lonely because of not having anyone my age to talk to.

😠: What makes me angry is when people act like idiots.

👻: I don’t believe in ghosts.

👽: I believe aliens could exist, but it’s unlikely they’d be intelligent life. Most likely, they’d be alien plants.

☠️: Biggest fear is feeling limited in life. Feeling like circumstances in my life are preventing me from doing the things I love.

👾: Favorite video games are the Pokémon games. I don’t really have a particular favorite one, because I like all of them a lot. If I had to pick one, though, I’d say HeartGold and SoulSilver for having so much content, while having more updated gameplay than Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

💍: I don’t really have strong feelings either way about getting married. If I find the right person, I might, but if I don’t marry, it’s no big deal.

🐶: Technically, I have two dogs. I say technically because getting them was my parents’ idea, and I have to live with them for now because I still live with my parents.

🌤: My preferred weather is partly cloudy, and a cool, but not cold temperature.

🍕: The pizza toppings I like are cheese, pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, and pineapples. Though honestly I don’t get why pineapples on pizza was such a memetic debate. I’ve also had ranch dressing on pizza, in place of the tomato sauce, and it’s good!

🍦: Favorite flavor of ice cream is a tie between mint and vanilla.

🏆: When I was in JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, iirc), they had what they called “special teams,” basically extracurricular activities that you had to be in JROTC to join. I was part of the academics team, where we would study all kinds of information (an eclectic variety of information that sometimes but didn’t always involve JROTC concepts). My school ended up in first place during the last inter-school competition. I particularly was proud of my score when reciting something (I forget what it was called, but it was basically a long declaration that you were a JROTC cadet and that you would uphold the values of one), and I got 149 out of a possible 150 points. I only lost the one point because I messed up one word.

🎬: Favorite movie is Princess Mononoke. I really liked the writing, in particular how morally grey the characters could be (the main antagonist wanted to mine minerals, but it was to help her people, while Moro-no-Kimi wanted to preserve the forest, but was ruthless because she had to be). I also liked how they handled gender roles in the film, showing both characters who conform to gender roles and those who don’t, and presenting them as equally important to the plot.

🎸: I have an ocarina that I play every once in a while. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly good at it though, mostly because I am musically illiterate and have to rely on tabs (charts showing which holes to have covered), with no real formal education on it. I can play a few songs, however.

✈️: Last place I travelled to was Ohio to visit my grandma and uncle. It’s been a while, though.

Aditya Mitta

1. Name, Year, Major & Hometown

My name is Aditya Mittal. I am a second year statistics major and computer science minor. My hometown is Saratoga, California. 

2. What are you most proud of?

I am most proud of my academic achievements, I think they reflect well on my hard work and discipline, as well as my ability to work well with others on group projects and through independent work. 

3. If you could choose a Sanrio character as a pet, which one would it be and why? 

I would go with Hello Kitty, she hella famous and everyone wants to be her. 

4. What is the biggest green flag in someone?

Everyone has extremely busy schedules; I consider it a green flag when someone is willingly making time out of their day to meet with you/do stuff for you/etc., shows that they value you as well. 

5. What’s your biggest ick?

Loud eaters, I really don’t like that. 

6. If you were Kirby, who/what would you swallow and become?

I’d swallow my friend's dog, he has a really good life that I want. 

7. What’s the most embarrassing moment in your life?

It’s probably when somewhen is waving to the person behind me and I waved back lol

9. What’s your most used emoji?

 😭

10. What do you value in friendship and tell me about your best friend?

To me, one of the most important characteristics within a friendship are loyalty and trust. As such, it is important to me that someone has my back when needed and is willing to make time for me (refer to green flag question). Additionally, I usually tend to surround myself with people that are passionate about the same things as I am, such as sports, music, video games, etc. Another major component is independence; though I like spending time with friends, it is important to focus on our own individual growth as opposed to forcing everything together. For instance, my best friend here at Davis is my suitemate from last year – Matt. Despite not knowing each other at first, we instantly got along very well from the beginning as we both liked the same music, food, etc. Last year, being roommates with him really allowed me to get to know him much better and learn more about his passions and future goals. As a result, my first year ultimately created many unique, meaningful experiences to remember. Our housing situation didn’t work out this year due to logistical reasons, so we haven’t had the opportunity to meet as often as last year. That being said, the both of us manage to keep up with one another through concerts and sporting events and make sure we remain well connected. If everything goes well in terms of logistics, I’m pretty ecstatic about running it back and living with him again for the next two years.
