Heyooo can I ask for Four w a super strong crush :0 I’m incredibly tiny but God knows if I liked exercising and also didn’t have arthritis I’d be so buff😭🤚
I feel u bestie, had I kept at training in the gym consistently and I'd probably be able to lift some decently high numbers right now lol
This was a fun one! I'm living for it tbh. Hope you don't mind that I made it headcanons, it sounded 'right' in my head to make it headcanons (anyways, you can always just request a fic if you want one after this haha).
Tumblr media
Four with a super strong (GN) crush (hcs)
Tumblr media
Just like the others, he was very surprised by your strength once you got to show it. It's not that he thought you couldn't be packing some power, but he certainly didn't imagine you'd have that much.
Let's just say that he was very impressed once he got to see that you also had the size to show for your strength, clothes tend to obscure many shapes, and it was clear that you took care of yourself.
His simple friendship with you turned into a massive crush faster than he could realize.
Since all of that's happened, he's felt like he's got much more in common with you than he initially thought. Being very small often had people and foes belittling his skills, and also his strength.
On a related note, he especially likes when a particularly cocky monster chooses to underestimate you based on looks alone, only to regret it not long after. Those are never his kills, but he can't help feeling some level of satisfaction when you put one of those creatures in their place.
Gives you compliments on your strength from time to time depending on a few factors.
But something along the lines of "Great thing we have someone as strong as you on our side!"/"You're very strong, so I'm sure it won't be a challenge for you at all."
If the chance ever arises in conversation with someone outside the chain, he's definitely bragging about how strong you are (and if he's not bragging about that, then you can be sure that he's mentioning another remarkable thing about you) to the other person, most of the time before he can process what he's doing.
A few members of the chain have caught on to the way he looks and talks about you, and he's gotten teased about having a crush on you a few times.
His face always turns red afterwards, because deep down he knows they're right even if he denies it to them.
He'd love to stay perched on your shoulders or back for as long as you'll allow him. He knows that he most likely doesn't weight anything to you.
But he's embarrassed to ask you for that, you'd have better luck with hugs.
But that still doesn't take away the fact that he's put himself to sleep at the thought of cuddling with you and imagining what it would be like to have your arms securely wrapped around him.
He'd love to have you as an occasional blacksmithing helper, not only because you're the person he enjoys being around the most, but also because he secretly wants to put more of your strength to the test and be the only one with front row seats to the event.
Don't worry though, he wouldn't give you any complicated tasks. Just simple things along with teaching you anything if necessary.
Of course, but that's only if you're willing to help him with whatever thing at the forge, he wouldn't force you if you don't want to. His crush on you will remain unchanged either way.
Once he grows more comfortable, he'd end up asking you to lift him up so he can reach higher places or get something that's way too high up for either of you to get, out of pure, lazy convenience.
Though that would mostly happen only when he knows you two are alone, otherwise the other Links would never let the suspicions about his crush on you go.
Hylia only knows what would happen to this man if you ever carry him in your arms, out of battle due to injury.
If he had heart eyes for you before, then now he slipped and fell into a puddle of his feelings for you and refuses to get back up after that, and the puddle only gets bigger by the second.
He'd blush at the mere mention of your name from that point on.
The scene from when you carried him back to safety would play on an endless loop for days on end.
And if his crush was easy to spot for those who paid enough attention, then now it's almost as if he carried a sign that stated all he thinks about is you.

what's funny about the jmart LOTR poll is that i obviously cant add 100 layers of context into each option (plus its really fun to read people delving into their headcanons!! i like reading them all) BUT i have more personal hc for jmart :3
i think neither of them would've even known about the series until the FOTR came out in 2001 - placing them about early high school. So theyve definitely changed from being kids!
I think they both went to see the first movie, Jon liked it overall but it was hella long and if he has to sit and watch any sequels, he may as well cut his losses and read the books at his own pace instead. Martin watched and was like omfg i LOVE this and started to read the books so he could compare them to the next films.
I think for both of them it was a chore to read, Jon moreso than Martin (afterall he's mister poetry and prose). I think Jon would, like the films, think it was too long with unnecessary detail (aka describing the food and surroundings for 10 pages) but Martin likes world building like that to compare to the films and imagine the setting. I also think Jon would read a book series if it was good enough! He would want to know what happens next in a story, I think it's separate stories by the same author that gets him bored. But he'd probably get fed up with the books and end up reading the plot synopsies on Wikipedia or something (bc no way in hell is he going to sit and watch RotK for 4 hours). Meanwhile Martin is like watching the extended versions and getting all the behind the scenes lore too.
So when they start dating, Martin is like "WHAT DO YOU MEA N YOU NEVER WATCHED ALL THE FILMS, THEYRE SO GOOD" and then obviously makes jon watch all the extended versions with him (at an easy pace, he'd be nice lol but i like goofing it up in a comic for a laff) while he spouts off behind the scenes facts and any consistencies/inconsistencies with the books. jon is just like oh my sweet nerd boyfriend, i love him <3 but also this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and i will never watch 10+ hours of this with you ever again. Jon would say he likes the movies after watching them but was a little bored since he already read spoilers about what happens LOL
and finally when they were both younger, they both:
1. had gay awakenings to the first movie (i personally think jon's was arwen and martin's was aragorn)
2. attempted to learn Elvish ONLY only because its hilarious and cute to me if s1 martin tried to curse at jon in Elvish under his breath and jon responds in Elvish to him - this embarrasses him extremely but martin is also like YOU KEEP FUCKING AROUND SIMS, YOURE GONNA FIND OUT (i wanna marry you).........and also bc i made art i'll post later
ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK i like saying all these silly things about jmart

I just had a weird-ass moment of sorting out the Don’t Starve timeline
So I have decided to organize it to understand it better. 
This devolved into my own head canons so enjoy i guess?? 
I will warn you: This is a VERY long post. And it is NOT CONSISTENT. THIS BECAME A GIANT HEAD CANON POST. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. THIS WENT DOWNHILL QUICKLY.
NOTE: Throughout the entire timeline, I imagine Wagstaff randomly logging in and out of the Constant while Maxwell can’t stop him from doing whatever science fuckery he wants
Anyways.
0. All non-human characters who were never human before (Wormwood, Wortox, Wilbur, Wilba, and Wurt) currently live in the Constant.
1. Maxwell and Charlie arrive first and become the “King” and Night Monster of the Constant. 
1.5. Maxwell sends random people to the Constant. He does this throughout the timeline until his reign ends.
2. A young Wagstaff discovers the Constant by accidentally opening a portal to it, or finding some way to enter it. He does not actually enter the Constant physically, instead he uses a hologram to do research on it. Maxwell sees this guy logging on and off the Constant and ignores him for now.
3. WX 78′s angry breakdown forces Wagstaff to shove them into the Constant. They are the first survivor to physically enter it. 
3.5. Wagstaff continues researching the Constant. Maxwell is beginning to get annoyed with the fact that he cannot control him. This guy is like a fucking insect. 
4. An older Wagstaff delivers a specimen to Webber’s father (the specimen being a spider). Webber becomes, well, Webber, and eventually Maxwell sends him to the Constant. He is the first person to arrive through Maxwell. Currently, he and WX are the only (known) survivors currently alive in the Constant, not including Wagstaff who is zipping around doing whatever the fuck he wants.
5. Webber dies. WX does not meet him before this happens. 
6. Wes arrives in the Constant by accident. He gets caught by Maxwell and imprisoned. 
7. Woodlegs is sent to the Constant. 
8. Wilson is tricked by Maxwell and sent to the Constant. 
9. Wilson does the standard adventuring stuff.
10. The timeline of who arrives in the Constant continues in the order you unlock characters in. This order takes place over a long amount of time. That order being:
- Willow
- Wolfgang
- Wendy
- Wickerbottom
- Woodie
- Wigfrid
None of them ever meet each other until Charlie takes the throne. 
11. Woodlegs gets trapped inside his cage. Maxwell doesn’t state specifically that he did it, but knowing what he’s like, he probably did. I would assume that Woodleg was having too much fun hunting for treasure and having to deal with both him and that goddamn Wagstaff popping in and out of the Constant on a daily basis was too much for him. 
12. The Shipwrecked and Hamlet characters do arrive at the Constant, but the times in which they do are unknown (aka I am too lazy to check how much EXP is required for them).
- Walani
- Warly
- Wheeler
13. Wilson buries Webber’s skull, reviving him.
14. Wes is freed from the invisible damnation box.
15.Wilson finds Maxwell and takes his place on the Nightmare Throne. 
15.5. I am not sure when Shipwrecked and Hamlet take place on the timeline, but they do take place before Together. 
16. Charlie discovers Wilson on the Throne after quite a while (not as long as Maxwell’s reign, thank god). Wilson is freed from it quite forcefully, and Charlie becomes the new queen.
16.5. WAGSTAFF IS YOUR PROBLEM NOW BITCH HAVE FUN TRYING TO CONTROL HIM
17. Wilson meets Maxwell and the two agree to form a truce. 
WARNING: YOU ARE ENTERING SEVERE HEADCANON TERRITORY. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
18. The other characters catch glimpses of each other but never actually meet.
For example:
WX 78 has found everyone at least once but does not care about their well-being so they just let them go off and do whatever. No one has seen them, however. Currently their only goal is to find Wagstaff and beat the shit out of him (good luck with that lol).
Wagstaff has found everyone as well, but unlike WX, Wagstaff is very interested in finding out about the survivors and is trying to uncover everything he can.
Maxwell already knows everyone, but he has not found any of them and does not want to. He is actively trying to run away. 
19. Charlie stops putting people in the Constant. For now. 
20. Charlie gets bored of watching all these random ass people fuck around and wants to see some REAL drama. She decides to put some of the survivors into small groups to see what would happen via teleportation. The results? Well...
Maxwell and Wagstaff
Purely made to spite her ex. Maxwell not only dislikes Wagstaff (which should be pretty obvious) he is also AFRAID of him and what he could do to the Constant. They stay together for about 1 minute before Wagstaff decides to just log off again. From then on Maxwell makes sure to track down Wagstaff’s plans, to hopefully find his motives for all this. 
Wendy, Wolfgang, and Wickerbottom
This trio would have been dissolved VERY quickly if not for Wickerbottom’s quick thinking. Wolfgang is deathly afraid of Wendy and even though Wickerbottom keeps him in the group, he can’t help but shudder when he has to talk to her. This group is surprisingly good at surviving - Wolfgang protects them, Wendy has pretty good survival knowledge, and Wickerbottom keeps the group from acting stupid. 
Wigfrid and Webber
It goes just as well as you would expect it to. Wigfrid moves to kill Webber immediately after seeing him, thinking that he’s some sort of monstrous “beast” that needs to be slain. 
Wes and Woodie
The pair ever. 
21. Maxwell meets Wilson and the two decide to form a truce. They both hate eachother immensely. 
Charlie sees this and decides to bring Wendy, Wolfgang and Wickerbottom over. The more socialization Maxwell has to do with his former pawns the better. Wilson is so grateful to learn that he is not alone after all (Maxwell does not count). 
22. Wortox is corrupted. 
WX 78 is still being a little loner emo bitch.
22.5. I am not sure when Woby arrives in the Constant, but I will say that she is accidentally sent there around this part of the timeline.
23. Willow starts a MASSIVE forest fire, bringing all of the vanilla game characters (besides WX 78 and Wagstaff) to her location. They decide that if they can’t survive together, they’ll die alone, and they all team up to tackle the dangerous world they live in. Meanwhile Maxwell has some explaining to do to the others. 
23.5. Wormwood, Wurt, and Wortox form a little cryptid friend group but that’s unrelated. Yeah, they saw the giant fire. Yeah, Wormwood cried for a solid half hour. No, they didn’t go to check it out.
24. The Cryptids find WX 78 and try to help them, but they aggressively refuse, as a soulless automaton does.
25. WX finds the Survivors and declares themself their “ruler” and everyone else their “minions”. No one takes them seriously in the slightest, but at least they have a new member now.
26. An injured Wigfrid stumbles upon the Survivors group and is treated. She decides to join the group if they help her look for a mysterious “beast” that she has been hunting down. 
27. That “beast” is, you guessed it, Webber. When the Survivors realize that he does not mean any harm, he is welcomed into the group. 
28. Warly is found by the Survivors, who tracked him down because he happened to be cooking nearby. He happily joins the team. 
29. Winona is sent to the Constant after a disastrous accident involving Wagstaff’s portal. 
29.5. This time, Wagstaff is ACTUALLY sent to the Constant. No more running away old man.
29.75. No fucking way 
29. The Cryptids get separated by accident. They follow their separate paths. For now anyways.
Wurt finds her old swamp village and is reunited with her Merm companions.
Wormwood spends his days chilling with his plant friends, but longs to see his other friends again.
Wortox is kind of alone now, but he’s taken an interest to the humans that have found their way into the Constant.
30. Walter gets sent to the Constant and meets Woby. 
31. The Survivors stumble upon Wurt in the swamps, and out of curiosity she follows them back to their camp. She ends up joining the group after they let her stay with them.
32. Wanda’s time travel shenanigans send her to the Constant. 
33. Wormwood’s search for his friends brings him to the Survivors. WX recognizes him and tries to get the others to drive him out, but to no avail. Wurt sees him and welcomes him with open arms. 
34. Winona is found by the Survivors, who traced the noises of her machinery and were very impressed with what they saw. She agrees to team up with them, and they agree to help her find her boss (Wagstaff) and sister (Charlie), who are both trapped in the Constant. 
35. Walter is discovered by the younger members of the Survivors (and this kid is having a great time camping out in eeby deeby). Walter finds the group and decides to join after realizing just how bad everyone is at managing a proper fire. 
36. Wortox finally decides to show himself to the Survivors, reuniting the Cryptids and adding a new member to the team. However, no one fully trusts him. There is quite a lot that he’s hiding. 
37. A usage of the Backtrack Watch accidentally teleports Wanda to the Survivor’s camp. She joins them and uses her knowledge on time travel to help them figure out their next moves. 
38. Wagstaff finds the Lunar Islands and begins sketching out some big plans. Plans involving that sweet sweet moon juice

what are ur favorite blogs?
Hi! So, I currently follow A LOT of blogs, which made this quite hard to put together, but I tried, lol. If you’re on desktop, you can actually find a few of my favorite blogs listed on my Tumblr page :)
But yeah, since I’m mostly into NCT and SKZ at the moment, this will primarily consist of sub!idol blogs that write for those two groups. Also, I’ve added some non-smut / non-sub!idol blogs that I really like, in case you’d like to check those out too.
With that said, here you go!
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: If you aren’t on this list and I follow you, please, don’t take it personally. These blogs are just a small sample of all the blogs I follow and love, so don’t worry, you definitely belong on this list as well! If I follow you or archive your fics, then I love your writing without a doubt ♥
Tumblr media
Sub!idol blogs
@drippinlovetalk - one of my favorite blogs of all time. If you’re not following her already, I highly recommend you to do so. Nothing but creative, well-written, and just overall amazing fics. It doesn’t matter who your bias in NCT is, you'll end up reading everyone’s fics anyway because they’re all great.
@lovingonrepeat - love, love, love her blog!! Her fics are so nice to read, I love them. I tend to get distracted easily when I’m reading, but her stories are just so well put together that it’s impossible to stop, lol. But seriously!! I’ve re-read all of her fics multiple times, they’re just that good ♥
@capriccio-con-espressione - oof, this one. Her fics are very intense to me, in a way. I don’t know how to really describe it, but once you check out her work, you’ll understand what I mean. There’s always something to them that makes them really memorable and stand out. And don’t even get me started on her sub!Kun fics, it’s embarrassing how many times I’ve re-read those, lmao. And the sub!Winwin one too!! Gosh, I loved that one so much as well!! Seriously, just check out everything she has, you won’t regret it.
@kisskissbanggang - I love her fics, oh my god. Both the sfw and the nsfw ones, they’re just something else. If anyone wants to read some amazing sub!idol fics with a great plot, character portrayal, and just everything in general, this is the blog for you! I especially love her sub!SKZ fics, but she writes incredible NCT fics as well. They’re just all lovely tbh :’)
@lavenderbexlatte - !!!!!! Another blog that not only writes great sub!idol fics, but they have immaculate plots as well?? And it all just comes together so nicely?? And it’s so captivating too?? Ugh, I just love reading her work so much!! So go and support her as well!! She’s incredibly talented and definitely deserves more love and attention!!
@submissivekpop - one of the first sub!idol blogs I’ve followed, and I still love re-reading her fics to this day. Well-written, great to read, and just overall amazing. I’ve always loved coming back to her blog and checking out her fics whenever I discovered a new kpop group, she never disappoints ♥. Please, give her lots of love and support, she deserves it so much :)
@artificialvoe - another one of my absolute favorites!! I’m a sucker for sub!idol reactions, and this blog is just heaven for me. Lots of different groups, themes, kinks, etc., there’s something for just about everyone. (I’ve also discovered quite a few kinks thanks to this blog, but that is a story for another day entirely-)
@sluttyten - also one of the first sub!idol blogs I’ve followed and one that I still cherish to this day. You have it all here - reactions, imagines, oneshots, series, everything. So much content, talent, and just all things great in one place. I don’t think I’ll ever stop recommending her blog, it’s one of my favorite accounts on all of Tumblr. I’ve literally spent most of my time at my part-time job reading her work, and it made it 1000% better.
@submissive-bangtan - ugh!! The power, the skill, the execution!! If you want to read a perfectly written fic with lots of plot, great dialogue, and beautifully described scenery (in other words: a fic that’s tastefully horny with a great deal of talent), this is a blog for you. It’s also one of the first blogs that introduced me to sub!idol content (and awakened the inner dom), so it holds a special place in my heart. But wait!! There’s more!! Not only does she write great fics, but she has so many interesting astrology & kibbe posts as well!! What’s not to love? Exactly, it’s all amazing. Now go and give Caro the love she deserves, damn it >:(
Tumblr media
Non-sub!idol blogs / non-smut blogs
@warmau - my comfort blog, omg. I love her writing style. All of her stories pull you in so easily and are so fun to read! If you ever want to destress, relax after a hard day, or just want to enjoy a heart-warming and beautifully written story, check out her fics!! All of them, in fact!! Right now!! Go!!
@jenomark - I’ve been reading her work today for like what? 5 hours straight? Well, guess what? I don’t regret it in the slightest. As I’ve said, I’m a sucker for reactions/headcanons/imagines/etc., and there are just so many!! And they’re so good too!! How have I not discovered this gem of a blog sooner?? I’m in awe :’) 
@neokollection - even though she’s on a hiatus right now, I love going through her blog every now and then and re-reading her work. Another blog that’s just great for whenever you want to relax and be all soft and comfy :> Please give her lots of love, she’s an incredibly talented and hard-working writer ♥
@hoe9for9kpop - so many groups to choose from!! So many incredibly well-written fics!! I’m in love!! One of the first blogs I’ve followed and one that I definitely have a soft spot for. Her content is very diverse, so whatever it is that you’re looking for, you’ll definitely find it here. And not only that, but you’ll discover so many other amazing fics too! Please read them all, they’re great :’(

Toga, Compress and Dabi with an s/o who acts all aloof and quite but weak for affection?
(A refresher wedged between all the smut asks lol. Btw I don’t mind them, it’s just nice to return to my roots sometimes with the sfw works. Anyway, lemme stop rambling!)
~Toga/Sako/Dabi’s Aloof but Softy S/O~
Tumblr media
headcanon|scenario|imagine|match-up
~Toga~
-She is capable of understanding and giving you space when needed but it will not last long at all with her. She’s really all about being around you when in a relationship. She is pretty clingy and very partner oriented. Fun fact: she isn’t to good with cats because of this behavior. Aside from that, point is that she will be in your face a LOT.
-This is a very good thing on your end since you only seem to be aloof but in reality you crave that affection. Lucky for you, you’ll definitely be getting it when dating her. She’s all about watching movies and shoes together, going on nighttime walks, wearing matching EVERYTHING if you could. Please, she will be around you almost 24/7 so you don’t have to worry about the affection. 
-Her dates probably sometimes consist of you brushing her hair while she’s nestled into your lap and playing some rhythm game on her switch. You peek over her head and watch her play the game while you treat her hair ever so gently. The two of you are the softies in the league but she wouldn’t have it any other way. The only thing she’d change would be her will power to try and give you space. If you find her beating herself up over it, it might be time to come clean about you actually liking her affections and company.
Tumblr media
~Compress~
-He finds it actually really attractive that you behave this way. It’s cute to him because he knows it’s all a ruse. He can see right through it the longer you two are together. In fact, within the first week or two of dating he already saw right through. “You’re as easy to read as a book, dearest.” He teases as he weasels his way into your room after you thought you locked the door...(or did you really keep it unlocked in the hopes he’d come in and give you kisses.
-Even knowing how you truly feel about the whole thing, he still manages to give you space from time to time because he says it’s important in a relationship. He sets up the room in a way that you’ll enjoy, and he heads out to do errands while you relax back at home for him. It all works out because when he gets back, you’re eager to be held by him and revel in his affections. 
-Despite him knowing this fact about you, he still hides it from the rest of the league members so they’ll give you space at the base. This is because they’re all so taken with you that they end up in your face more than him. He just can’t stand that they’re taking the time up between you two so he’s implemented it as a tactic to get you to himself. 
Tumblr media
~Dabi~
-Aloof and quiet? That’s just fine with him. There aren’t many words he feels that need to be shared between the two of you. Actions speak louder than words any day of the year in his opinion. Therefore a conversation could result in the two of you saying good morning and that’s it. However, his hand goes to gently pat your back and he lands a sweet kiss on your forehead before going to eat breakfast. 
-If you want to speak to him more then you’ll have to make the first move and do so. He may start by saying “You’re pretty damn talkative today huh?” But let me assure you that this works. The more you talk, the more he’ll end up talking back. If you stay as quiet as you are, then that’s just fine too. 
-He won’t mention it, but he knows by now that you actually like the affection he gives you. Therefore tender moments become even more tender when he’s around you. He makes sure to put extra care into his hugs and kisses to assure that you’ll be satisfied by his efforts. He won’t speak on it, and neither do you but you know...you can tell. He may not seem like a sweet guy, but between the two of you behind closed doors, he’s nothing but a teddy bear.

I know this is very nitpicky, but what do you think is the level of awareness Griffith has during the stairwell scene? For a very calculated and rational guy like him, it's hard to imagine that he hasn't even tried to decipher where these strong reckless reactions come from. I mean... even king of denial Guts has reflected a bit on it. Enough to ask Griffith about it. I know yoy mentioned in a recent answer to an ask, that you don't headcanon Griffith as pining, so would you say that you (cont)
Would you say that you imagine that he compartimentalizes his thougts and represses to the point that he doesn't aknowledge at least to a certain extent, that his feeling for Guts are more passionate, than what he feels for other comerades. The fact that he fully realises the depth of those feelings once Guts leaves is clear. But Idk the stairwell scene makes me think that he is at least aware, that he has a bit of a crush, but choses to not give it much importance. Curious about your thoughts 
hmmm. okay first off I just want to say that I can see multiple possibilities, from full on repression and denial, to recognizing his attraction but not acting on it, to knowing he cares for Guts and wants him as a True Friend(TM) but often downplaying that because he believes Guts sees him mainly as a superior officer. But yeah I do prefer the denial and compartmentalization explanation and I want to go into why, because I think it’s fun to talk about lol.
So the big reason I read Griffith as refusing to acknowledge his feelings to himself is because that’s how he deals with all his other inconvenient feelings, like his guilt and fear and the fact that he cares about the Hawks. Like eg when he tells Gennon that he doesn’t feel a single emotion about him whatsoever, or when he tells Casca that he doesn’t feel guilty over the deaths of the Hawks, I don’t think he’s just lying to them, I think he’s convincing himself too, to the point where he really believes it.
It’s sort of hard to explain how I see this working in Griffith’s head bc it feels v intuitive to me but I know that’s not the case for everyone. So yk it’s not that I think he like, eg makes himself forget that he nearly had a breakdown in a river, but I think he doesn’t ask himself why he nearly had a breakdown beyond maybe a shallow ‘sex with gennon was unpleasant and made me uncomfortable for a couple hours but i’m completely fine now’ and doesn’t think about it afterwards if he can help it.
And when he tells Charlotte he doesn’t have any friends and tells Guts he belongs to him during the second duel, I think he’s telling himself lies/rationalizations he genuinely believes there too. In fact, I think his denial of his own feelings is straight up meant to be his tragic flaw, which is why he’s only able to finally acknowledge them in the torture chamber, after it’s caused his downfall.
In the torture chamber we see him remember the face-off with Zodd and acknowledge that it was an irrational thing to do and wonder why Guts is so important to him, and I think part of the reason the monologue works so well is because it’s the first time we see that kind of self-reflection sans lofty rationalization from him, because before he ended up trapped in his own brain for a year with nothing to distract himself in between bouts of torture he didn’t really ask himself these kinds of questions. If he had, things probably would’ve gone better for everyone.
And like, I don’t think this makes Griffith less intelligent, or negates his rationality in other areas of life. I don’t see a contradiction in someone being able to analyze a battlefield or read other people well but avoiding genuine soul searching whenever possible and lying to himself a lot. I think it’s actually pretty realistic - I don’t think very many people fully understand themselves or their feelings, even really self-reflective people, and it’s very easy to rationalize away inconvenient cognitive dissonance. and I include myself in that lol.
Griffith’s life is kind of a contradiction that would really fuck him up to untangle (he sends people to their deaths to achieve a dream for the sake of assuaging his guilt for sending people to their deaths to achieve a dream), so he doesn’t try to untangle it, he avoids the question and hides behind a philosophical ideal. And his feelings for Guts add to that cognitive dissonance because if he values Guts over the dream, that kind of proves his entire defensive life philosophy is bullshit and his whole life plan is built on a precarious house of cards, so it makes sense to me that he’d avoid examining those feelings closely too.
And you can look at Guts too, who does navelgaze a lot and tries to analyze his own feelings and motivations - when he’s faced with a contradiction (I want to become independent of Griffith and do my own thing solely to gain Griffith’s approval) he actually notices it and briefly questions himself... and then he still puts it out of his mind and continues pursuing his contradictory goal anyway, and manages to stay in denial for 3 days even after learning that Griffith ended up in a torture chamber because he left.
Along those same lines, Guts eg realizes that he kills things because it makes him feel better but he doesn’t make the connection between his irrational urge to fight powerful enemies and his childhood trauma the way the readers can, the King didn’t acknowledge his incesty feelings til Griffith shoved them in his face, Count Slug kept denying having human feelings til Puck went on a tirade against him and he couldn’t sacrifice his daughter, Casca lies to herself about her feelings for Griffith for a long time before finally acknowledging she’s in love and then doubles down on her Griffith feelings when her newer feelings for Guts threaten them until she has a breakdown and admits some things to herself (I mean I find that last one disappointing lol, but it’s also a really straightforward example of someone living in denial of romantic feelings and therefore a good comparison point to show that Miura does this on purpose), etc. So I think this interpretation of Griffith is also consistent with how Miura just like, tends to write people.
Like imo Griffith has moments where he comes close to self awareness and could’ve started potentially reflecting on his feelings and coming to better, more accurate conclusions, and those moments definitely include the Zodd conversation (as well as the river scene with Casca, and “do you think I’m cruel?”) but none of those scenes lead to useful self-reflection because they all go wrong. Casca tries but fails to reassure him bc she’s out of her depth, Guts reminds him of his dream, the King interrupts their conversation and Charlotte reorients Griffith towards his goal so he can move on from that moment of irrationality and refrain from thinking about it further for a while. Even after the duel Griffith tries to avoid self-reflection by fucking Charlotte imo (”take all the sad and frightening things and cast them into the fire” ie hey girl wanna repress some shit w/ me?), and imo his previous ability to do that makes it all the more impactful when it doesn’t work this time and he breaks down.
BUT YEAH all that said I don’t think this is the only reasonable reading of Griffith’s awareness of his feelings lol, it’s just the one I like best and consider the most satisfying and interesting and fun to think about. And honestly that’s partly because I love dramatic irony and have a real thing for characters who lie to themselves, so I’m biased in favour of it too. Nothing about Griffith being good at denial contradicts the idea that he could still be aware of an attraction to Guts (in that case he’d probably just write it off as irrelevant and deny the associated internalized-homophobia-related self-loathing lol until it all pours out while he’s projecting at the King), and he could eg be aware that he irrationally cares about Guts above and beyond anyone else and just doesn’t even try to reconcile that with his dream, ie compartmentalization in another way.
But I think the idea that he only fully admits it to himself in the torture chamber is just very narratively satisfying.

Hello! If you don't mind me asking, are you planning on watching House of the Dragon? I'm personally unsure about it. I was cautiously optimistic about it since D&D are not involved, but the recent casting news have been ugh disappointing imo. What do you think?
Hey anon! Sorry to say I kind of mind you asking because my inbox is still closed (to everyone except my secret Santas, which is why the ask page is accessible at all), but then I realized it’s possible if you’re on the mobile app only, you haven’t seen said note in my askbox, or my FAQ, or anything of the sort. And with older metas of mine being reblogged recently, it’s possible you may be confused. (I hope you’re on mobile only and not just ignoring my requests.) So I wanted to inform you of that... but also, y’know, I kind of wanted to make a post about the HotD cast anyway? And this ask is as good a prompt as any... so, you’re lucky, but please don’t push your luck. ;)
So, straight up: I currently have no plans to watch House of the Dragon. HBO is not getting any of my goddamn money, I don’t trust like that. And hunting down illegal livestreaming sites is a pain in the ass and I regret ever doing it for GoT, as well as regretting getting drunk every weekend enough to dampen my senses to ever tolerate that show. Yeah it’s different showrunners and writers, I know. It’s still (mostly) the same executives at HBO and even if the pervert producer is gone (or is he?), you know they still just want to sell sex and violence and dragons to an audience that thinks fantasy is for geeks.
Also, considering that Fire & Blood’s story of Dance of the Dragons has very little actual narrative or dialogue, and the historical record is deliberately untrustworthy, that gives them pretty much full rein to do whatever they like with the story and characterization and words without even being slightly obliged to GRRM at all. Furthermore, since the story is wholly political with virtually none of the magical side of ASOIAF (excepting dragons), and honestly does not have much in the way of themes or depth that main ASOIAF or even D&E has, I think it will be very hard for an adaptation to show even those brief sparks of quality that used to make me wistful GoT couldn’t be that good all the time and eventually just made me frustrated and depressed. Note I do like the history and characters of the Dance despite myself, despite its many many many textual issues, but I don’t need to see an adaptation, I have a very visual imagination. I don’t watch a lot of television to begin with, I don’t see why I should start again with this.
However, I’m not going to avoid spoilers or discussion, and I’ll probably follow the show the tumblr way, through gifsets and video clips and people bitching on their blogs etc. If, somehow, by some miracle of good screenwriting and acting, the show manages to transcend its source material, I’m sure I will be informed. And then, if and only if then, I may try watching. (Without, of course, giving HBO any of my goddamn money.) We shall see.
(Though I certainly don’t know why anyone in Targ standom would ever watch a Dance adaptation considering almost every Targaryen and everyone else in the story is terrible except Helaena and the kids, and considering how the story ends, unless y’all are gluttons for punishment? (I do not comprehend hatewatching, sorry.) It’ll probably be fun at first to see the adventures of those “precious silver douchebags” (to borrow a friend’s tag), but eventually rocks fall, everyone dies, including the girlboss you know you’ll hope the story will be changed enough that she succeeds. Just letting you know now, she won’t.)
That said. I’ve been following the casting news and I think the hate/fear/wild screaming is entirely overblown. Yeah, I know, but wait, just listen. On Friday I officially welcomed @naomimakesart to the “favorite character is now played by an actor who looks nothing like most fanart and is mostly known for wildly different roles” club. I still remember that day in September 2009 when my brother texted me “yarp”... and that right there is the thing. Yeah. Rory McCann looks very little like most pre-GoT Sandor fanart... but many fans grew to love him anyway. (There are some who never did, of course. And yeah the character went off the rails by the end, but truly, who didn’t. Having seen his audition, having spoken to him and heard him wistfully talk about book scenes he loved, I’m convinced if Rory had only been given Sandor’s actual scenes and such, he would’ve killed it. Sigh. Deep, deep sigh.)
And Rory isn’t the only one. Neither of the actors for Jaime and Cersei were considered “beautiful” enough at first. I recall very clearly people bitching about Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (about his nose particularly?) because they had wanted Tarzan-era Travis Fimmel to be Jaime. (Seeing people bitch because current-Fimmel isn’t playing Daemon made me laugh out loud for both BEYONCE?! meme -type “why would you ever cast him omg he doesn’t fit my headcanon Daemon at all”, and amazing amounts of fandom flashbacks.) Lena Headey was “too square-jawed”, “too mean-looking” (since at the beginning you should never be able to guess she’s evil), “too dark-complected”, “too mannish”, not at all attractive enough. (Tricia Helfer was the most common “but I wanted” for Cersei, btw.) And of course “they don’t remotely look like twins, ugh!” Note, there’s receipts for all of this, none of it is made up. (Unfortunately.) Those two actors are just the ones whose casting wank I recall most clearly, particularly because oh how the turn tables.
Also. You know, there’s a post with Matt Smith and Mark Simonetti’s TWOIAF Daemon going around with shrieks of horror... and I’m finding it maddening in a “am I crazy? am I  the crazy one???” way, because Matt looks like the painting. Their features are not that dissimilar.
Tumblr media
Same deepset eyes. Same cheekbones of doom. Same thin lips. Same protruding chin. Same high forehead. Same invsible eyebrows ffs. Matt has a squarer jaw, and a longer more rectangular face, and a wider nose, but considering that Daemon’s features are not described in the text, and this is the only official ASOIAF artwork that shows Daemon’s face straight on, I can for sure see why he was probably shortlisted to begin with. And that’s not even getting into to his role in The Crown, which I’ve heard is very well played with politics and palace intrigue... and if you doubt Smith can play seductive/roguish and/or evil (depending on how you LARP as a Westeros historian), or look good with long hair... well. I do not want to watch the movie, but this trailer is disturbingly enlightening.
And as for Rhaenyra... y’all know this show is starting at the beginning of the story, right? When she’s a teenager? Not a voluptuous MILF? Yeah, Emma D’Arcy doesn’t look like a Magali Villeneueve painting (though who does, good lord), but you know who she does look remarkably like? Harry Lloyd.
Tumblr media
Same jawline. Same nose. Same thin lips. Same sharp cheekbones. Notably, same kind of sharp cheekbones and deep-set eyes as Matt Smith. HBO evidently has a concept of a “Targaryen look” that’s a little bit quirkier than supermodel-Greek statue-gods on earth, yeah, fine. But it’s consistent, and they look like family, and that-- that is good casting.
And yeah, in a few months to a year or so, you’ll see them in costume and wigs and makeup, you’ll see them in motion and speaking lines, and go Oh. That’s different. Never mind. And while people will make fanart of the show depictions of the characters and those will probalby get popular, they’ll also keep doing fanart of their pre-show headcanons, and those too will be popular. (God knows when I draw or visualize book!Sandor, Rory does not come to mind, lol.) Either way, there’s no reason to panic. We’ll live.
(Though will we live well? Got to wait on the writing and showrunning for that, alas.)

The Handler is really a fascinating character to me as is her dynamic with Five and how alike they are. Get ready because I’m gonna go on a tangent about them.
I think it goes without saying that in many ways The Handler and Five are very similar people. They’re both pragmatic, goal orientated, cold, and quite simply, both willing to do absolutely anything needed to achieve what they want despite the repercussions others might face at their expense. They both lack a significant level of humanity, something that clearly is a requirement  to be able to do the work they do/did at the Commission. They are constantly at a battle of wits  and attempting to one up the other, both proving to be a formidable foil to the other consistently throughout the show. 
Where things start to contrast between the two is how they grew to be the people they are now. With Five, well, we know why he is the way he is. Five isn’t simply just a product of his childhood. Yes, he still retains a good level of characteristics from his youth into adulthood (arrogant, brash, sees himself as better than everyone else) but Five ultimately was sculpted into the man he is today due to his time subjected to the apocalypse and then shortly after, the Commission. 
The apocalypse did a number on Five. It isolated him for over four decades. It tore layer after layer of humanity away from him until he was left so distanced from other people that segueing into becoming an assassin was like second nature. It forced him to become entirely dependent on himself for survival in every aspect of the word. Physically, of course, he had to take care of all his basic survival needs; food, water, shelter, first aid, etc. Mentally and emotionally? He created a whole ‘nother person in the form of a mannequin to help him retain any semblance of either of those things. It damaged Five so deeply that afterwards he was left almost entirely incapable of empathy (key word, almost), unable to ask others for help/acknowledge he needs help, and able to see assassination as a reasonable means to justify an end. 
Five was left broken by the apocalypse. He is a product of it. And after going through that traumatic ordeal, he was offered a way out but only through accepting employment at the organization that sat by and allowed his suffering to go on for decades. (I’d love to go into the body modifications/DNA manipulation but that isn’t canon compliant for the show anyway (yet) so I won’t). He was transformed into the perfect killing machine. He took the lives of anyone and everyone who stood out of line by the Commission’s standards. Many who I’m sure weren’t actually bad people (ex, Lila’s parents), but because they were deemed irregularities in the timeline (or they were someone who The Handler could benefit from their death, ex Lila’s parents), they had to go. One doesn’t complete a task like that regularly without lacking a level of morality or connection to fellow humankind. 
But The Handler? We don’t really know her back story at all, so perhaps this is going out on a limb here, but I can at the very least say that she did not go through what Five did. There is really no one in the series whose backstory can equate to Five’s. And while I am not entirely excusing Five for being a shitty person sometimes, he and The Handler are very different in the fact that while he was sculpted into one, I think The Handler was just born an awful, monstrous human being. Actually worse than Five. And you know why?
The Handler isn’t even capable of love or empathy or putting anyone else before herself. We don’t see this at all, not even once. The Handler does things strictly for the benefit of herself and no one else. Even when her own self proclaimed daughter asks her if she ever loved her, The Handler doesn’t answer and then proceeds to murder her. Que sera, sera. (Whatever will be, will be). No remorse. No regret. Nothing.
Five, for all of his faults and flaws and uh, murder, still remains more connected to humanity than The Handler. Despite everything he has experienced, everything he has lost, he still has an inkling of heart that’s still beating for others left in him. Because Five still does love and care for people - his entire life purpose is to keep those people, his family, safe and alive, even at the expense of his own happiness and life. Five puts his family before himself every episode, every damn step of the way. He survives 40+ years alone and then works as an assassin for an unspoken measurement of time, all to save his family. 
The Handler throws up the front of being a people person and charming. And she does it really damn well. But in reality she is not morally gray. She doesn’t do some good things and some awful things. She is just all around horrible. She employs Five, again, to work for the organization that tore so much away from him. She dangles the idea of a new body before him, gives him a suit with the claim, “clothing make the man, Five,” as if he isn’t something to be taken seriously in his current physical state, as if he still isn’t the man who survived a lifetime in the end of the world and becoming an assassin. She claims that Five owes her because she ‘saved him from a lifetime of being alone’, which in actuality she watched and allowed him to suffer exactly just that. (I have another meta on here about that scene in particular, which you can read HERE). She tricks Five into murdering the board so she can assume power, all under the guise of claiming to help him get his family back to 2019, only to then use him as a scapegoat in their assassination. She literally kills him (almost) and all of his siblings. She writes the kill order on Lila’s parents, lets Five kill them, and then kidnaps Lila all for her own benefit. She continuously lies to her, ultimately betrays her, and kills her too. She sees zero wrongness in kidnapping a disabled boy from his mother so she can transform him into her weapon just like she did Lila. There isn’t a single instance in the entirety of the show where The Handler shows even an ounce of regret, only shock and anger when things don’t go her way. She is power hungry, merciless, and quite possibly even deranged with how unemotive she is towards other human beings.
And one more thing I want to touch on with The Handler that is a bit of a controversial topic in the show - her handsey-ness with Five. Her unnecessary touching and closeness. I am a firm non believer of the idea many have that her and Five used to be involved romantically or physically in any way. I think it’s quite a reach to imagine Five trusting her whatsoever at any point during their time knowing one another. Five is observant as hell and smart - I just can’t see him ever having an ounce of trust in her, especially with again, how she blatantly admits to him when they first meet that the Commission has been watching him for some time. So no, I don’t think her creepy touches with him have anything to do with a former fling (even if Kate or Aidan play into it that way or claim they might have in the past - sorry, headcanon not accepted lol). 
I view her behavior as demeaning. I see it as her being condescending towards him, like, “Oh, see how you betrayed me and now look at how you fucked up. Small and weak and nothing to be taken seriously.” She treats him like the tiny child he has physically become and she does it to make him feel inferior and like he has no control of the situation he is in or his life. It’s a slap in the face, a reminder of what he has done to himself because he left the Commission, and she does it because she knows how much it bothers him to be perceived that way. Everything she does and says around Five, she does to make him feel small. 
All in all, I really do love The Handler. Do I love that she played a larger role in season 2 than Carmichael? Absolutely not. I don’t love what her character did for the writing or the plot of the show and how it backburnered a lot of things. I think they missed out greatly on a character who was already a fascinating antagonist to Five (Carmichael). However, Kate Walsh is an absolute delight to watch on screen. Her and Aidan have great chemistry and play off one another very well and their scenes are certainly some of my most favorite to watch. I think The Handler is an amazing villain and keeping her as a female as opposed to a male Jon Hamm esque actor as they originally were intending to do was a great idea IMO. I love a female bad ass, even if she is a villain. I’m sad we won’t see more of her purely because she is so fun to watch (and her wardrobe is utter goals) but I’m definitely ready to move on to the next set of antagonists for our favorite dysfunctional family.

I would like to add Gwaine to the list of friends Merlin had. Especially in the 3/4 seasons he really was ride or die for Merlin, they shared intimate details with each other, they truly trusted each other. There were instances where the show alluded that Gwaine knows about Merlin's magic and is fine with it.
hi there!  i’m assuming this is in response to the post i reblogged about will and lancelot being merlin’s only “real” friends?  
i’m actually happy to write about this, now that the question has been posed - it’s been a while since i wrote anything long about gwaine!
fair warning in advance: i don’t personally classify gwaine the same way i do will and lancelot, and that’s what this piece will cover in more detail, but these are just my own thoughts, and it is totally cool for everybody else to have different opinions.  my take is my take, but it does not have to be everyone’s take - if people wanna scroll past because this isn’t their vibe, i don’t mind in the slightest. :)
so, without further ado - i LOVE gwaine, and i have written extensively about how amazing his relationship with merlin is (some examples here, here, here, and here, if anybody’s looking).  he is the most likely of all merlin’s living friends to ditch arthur in the name of addressing merlin’s needs, which is super important, and he also has a much healthier friendship with merlin than arthur does (in my own personal opinion, of course, which nobody is obligated to share).  he definitely does go ride or die for merlin in S3/S4, i agree.
but my own thoughts on this particular point are still the same as they were in that original post.  i tend to hide my clarifications/explanations in the tags, so they might have flown by, but i’ll just copy/paste the relevant bit here for ease of access, as some background for the rest of this post.
re: will and lancelot were merlin’s only ‘real’ friends:
#what this does not mean: merlin has no other friends!  merlin doesn't have meaningful and important relationships with other people!   #what it does mean:  #every single one of merlin's other relationships is undergirded by the sickening knowledge that those friendships are conditional   #every single one of his other relationships is accompanied by the constant undercurrent of 'they would hate me if they knew'   #merlin knows his friends 'care' about him   #except they don't really; because it's not truly him they're caring about   #they care deeply - about someone merlin made up   #about a facade.   #in the most basic sense   #those relationships aren't Real   #the love merlin feels for the people in them is real   #but you cannot truly be 'friends' with somebody who doesn't even know who you are   #you cannot be loved without being known   #you certainly cannot be loved without being safe
obviously i suppose a person’s thoughts on this would be different if they headcanoned that gwaine knew about merlin’s magic, and that’s fine.  i personally do not believe canon indicates or supports that, but i’m not out to convince people to abandon their own fanon interpretations of things; i’m happy just hanging out in my own space talking about my thoughts.  me writing meta is the virtual equivalent of me talking to myself in my room - if other people have different conversations with themselves, that’s fine :)  i don’t mind if other folks organize their thoughts about things differently.  
in accordance with that - everybody please feel free to continue on with your own interpretations, and ignore mine if mine do not appeal to you!  if people are interested about how i organize my ideas on this, though, they are essentially as follows:
1) a cage fighter, a class traitor, and a fake sorcerer walk into a tavern
ok, to start with - here’s a graph.
(...who tf starts a meta post with ‘here’s a graph’ lol i just drew a venn diagram for the first time since like...middle school...i LOVE fandom, man, this is RIDICULOUS)
anyway
this is a very rough interpretation of how i think about gwaine, lancelot, and will:
Tumblr media
to address some of these elements individually:
lancelot and will give merlin something that gwaine can’t - safety, authenticity, the comfort of being known and seen for real, a respite from constantly qualifying every friendship with ‘they would hate me if they knew’
lancelot and gwaine, likewise, give merlin something merlin wouldn’t be as likely to get from will (if will were still alive, i mean) - an understanding of merlin’s devotion to the Crown, a supportive ally in the fight to promote arthur’s reign and keep arthur/camelot safe
will and gwaine, for their part, are more likely to tell arthur to go fuck himself, if it’s important for helping merlin, and that’s a different kind of support that merlin also really needs.
and will, on his own, gives merlin something that neither lancelot NOR gwaine can provide, which is a friend who isn’t connected to or even particularly interested in arthur pendragon (merlin has nobody in his life like this, not after will dies) - somebody who knew and cared about merlin before merlin had any proximity to arthur, before this whole ’destiny’ issue reared its merciless head.
everybody in merlin’s life matters to him and gives him something important.  gwaine is STUPIDLY important to merlin.  the love there is real.  but in canon, because gwaine is not in the know, gwaine is still one of the people from whom merlin feels compelled to hide himself.  gwaine is right up there alongside gwen, arthur, elyan, percival, etc - every other person who merlin loves, who merlin nonetheless constantly, back-of-his-mind fears, ‘they would reject me if they knew.’
the above is part of why i personally have never been too interested in ‘so-and-so knows about merlin’s magic’ canon-imaginings.  there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, and i’m sure people must have tons of fun with them - and in an AU context maybe i would have fun with them too - but as hopeful interpretations of actual canon, they don’t appeal to me.  merlin’s near-total isolation and desperate, constantly-frustrated desire for real, honest love is an inalienable aspect of his character for me, one i can’t separate from who he is and why he does the things he does and why he eventually ends up in the place where we find him towards the end of the show.  
2) i just want someone to see me for who i am
i have seen a bit of sentiment out there along the lines of ‘merlin should have told (x person) about their magic’ or ‘(x person) obviously doesn’t have a problem with sorcerers,’ but i guess i personally don’t think it’s as clear as all that, and i think me saying it is would be doing merlin a disservice.
merlin’s desire to be seen/known/accepted is literally the most base urge he has.  if he truly thought he could tell somebody safely, he would.
i think merlin knows the people in his orbit well enough to know how they feel about sorcery, at least in a general sense.  and even if they aren’t bloodthirsty bigots like uther, they aren’t exactly welcoming magic with open arms, either.  at the most basic, elementary level, merlin understands something that we don’t like to think about: none of his friends ever challenge arthur on the sorcery ban or express any dissatisfaction with the political status quo, and, even absent outright bigotry, this fact speaks loudly enough in and of itself.  merlin’s friends might not be out clamoring for sorcerers’ blood, but they aren’t criticizing a society that criminalizes sorcery, either, and they are never shown to have a problem with the way things are, even though the way things are is wrong.
The Way Things Are is, in fact, unjust.  it’s oppressive.  and allowing that state of affairs to continue, unquestioned and unchallenged, when you have access to the king’s ear and aren’t personally in danger of being persecuted, indicates that you’re okay with the injustice.  that you’re comfortable with the oppression.  that you don’t see a problem with the status quo, and that you're unbothered enough by it to let it be.
it doesn’t matter that merlin’s friends have never straight-up said ‘boy, magic sure is evil’ onscreen.  they never say that camelot’s policies are wrong, and that delivers a clear enough message on its own.
3) it is not a crime to fight for your freedom
to bring this back to gwaine specifically, since that was originally the focus of this ask -
for me, for all that i adore gwaine, and for all that i think he was, for the most part, an INCREDIBLY sound, healthy relationship for merlin, the truth is that gwaine is as much a part of this problem as everyone else.  does that mean i personally think gwaine would have summarily dumped merlin if he’d found out merlin had magic?  no.  but i don’t think it’s as uncomplicated as maybe we wish it might be, and i think merlin has every right to be as uncertain of gwaine on this issue as he does of everyone else.
for one thing, like i said before, even gwaine, who used to have fewer qualms than any of the knights about pushing back on arthur’s BS, has never said a word about camelot’s injustices, or ever acknowledged that the laws of the land are unjust to begin with.  
for another, there are specific moments that kind of make you wonder.
5.05 (’the disir’) is a good example of this - when gwaine finds osgar in the woods, the two of them have this exchange:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you are a sorcerer, a heretic, and a murderer.  
the rhetoric of this sentence frames all three of these things as equivalent entities - criminal ones.  
to pick this apart more carefully:
a) sorcerer
it’s worth noting here that we’re never told osgar has done anything worse than evading arrest for the crime of being a known sorcerer.  when leon mentions him in the council meeting, the conversation consists solely of the following:
“as you know, a few days ago our garrison in the forest of breckfire intercepted the man who goes by the name of osgar.”
“the sorcerer.”
“the same.  they were trying to apprehend him when he used his powers to escape.”
and…that’s it.  osgar’s crime, as far as we know, was simply being a sorcerer (and then, after that, attempting to escape an unjust arrest, thereby killing a knight in the process).  there’s no mention of any other activities that would have warranted his arrest in the first place, other than the possession of magic.
but magic, even on its own, IS a crime in camelot - and gwaine levels the accusation at osgar as such.
b) heretic
that’s a hell of a word to throw around, if you think sorcery is chill.
“heretic” isn’t a mild accusation.  "heretic” has vitriolic severity behind it.  people are accused of heresy when they’re perceived to be in brazen defiance of what is (in the eyes of the accuser) unquestionably right and correct.  “heretic” is like…it’s like blasphemer.  the connotation is not just that something is bad, but that it’s sinful.
for gwaine, either osgar’s association with sorcery and/or his defiance of camelot’s army makes him a heretic.  and that’s not something a person who is down with sorcery or supportive of a magic-user’s struggle for freedom would say.
c) murderer
if gwaine were cool with sorcery, we would expect him to understand that a sorcerer who resisted arrest for the crime of being a sorcerer isn’t a murderer.  
it’s like kara said in 5.11 - it is not a crime to fight for the right to be who you are.
camelot has been killing sorcerers for decades.  osgar mortally wounded a soldier (not an innocent civilian, i might note) who was trying to imprison him.  he was resisting the armed forces of an oppressive state.  that’s not murder.
somebody who understands that camelot is an oppressive regime wouldn’t think of this as murder.  they would understand that it is not a crime to protect your own life when the state has literally been trying to exterminate your people for years.  and even if osgar had been engaged in rebellious activities against the state (which as far as we know is not the case - nothing like this is ever referenced!), they would understand that people with magic have long been overdue for a righteous uprising.  
but gwaine is a little more like arthur, in this moment - he sees the “wrong” that osgar has done (in the form of sir ranulf’s death) without seeing the thousands upon thousands of wrongs that camelot visited upon the magical community first.
4) you can’t go armed into a sacred place
the rest of this episode is similar.  gwaine pays just as little heed to merlin’s warnings as the rest of the knights, when merlin admonishes them that the disir’s cave is sacred.  gwaine doesn’t relinquish his sword or take special care upon entering the cave.  in fact, he is the one who outright interrupts the disir while they’re speaking - as they’re telling arthur a series of hard truths, that he’s persecuted magic-users, “even unto slaughter;” that he’s desecrated their space: “you come here, to the most sacred of the sacred, to the very heart of the Old Religion, with weapons drawn - trampling hallowed relics - treating our sacred space like you do your kingdom - with arrogance - with conceit - with insolence - ”
and gwaine cuts them off, pushing to the front of the group and shouting at them “enough!  you speak of the king!”  and that’s when the fight starts, when mordred gets stabbed.
someone who was fully accepting of magic, or who knew anything about it at all, would not have behaved this way.  they would not have bristled at hearing how arthur’s regime unfairly persecutes the magical community.  they would have known that it was true.
5) i just want to be myself
the above is just one example, but it’s a clear enough one to illustrate what i mean.  gwaine IS an amazing friend to merlin.  he does treat merlin well.  and merlin loves him to death.  but gwaine is NOT totally chill with magic.  i’m not saying he actively hates it, but he is not, from what merlin has witnessed, entirely safe.  merlin loves him, but he can’t be himself around him.
and i do think that pains merlin terribly.  all these people who he loves so much, and every time he’s with them there’s always that whisper: ‘this is a charade.  all the love in my life is a lie.  they only like me because they don’t know me.  if they knew who i really was, this would be over.’  
and we wonder why he never tells anyone.  we tell him he ‘should’ have told gwaine, gwen, morgana, arthur, like it would have been easy, or even possible, for him to ever consider putting himself in a position where he could lose what precarious, partially make-believe connections he has.
merlin, in the later seasons, when he worries about his magic being exposed, isn’t afraid of being executed.  he’s afraid of becoming even more alone than he is now.  and he has good reason to feel that way - even people who appear to put him first aren’t fully on board with the thing that makes him who he is.  and merlin knows this.  he’s seen it.  none of his friends are out fighting for people like him at court.  some of his friends shake their heads and assure arthur “you are a good and just king” when arthur expresses concern that maybe the disir are right, maybe he has indeed transgressed.  some of merlin’s friends used to buck the system in defense of the powerless, but now they defend the regime even when the accusations levelled against it by an oppressed population are true.
merlin knows that revealing himself is a kind of risk that could very plausibly end with him utterly disowned.  every single friendship he has is subject to this justified fear, this bitter knowledge.  merlin has every reason to doubt the soundness of his relationships.
and, circling back to the thing that started all these musings - the only friends who never made him feel that way were will and lancelot.
that’s all i mean when i say that will and lancelot were merlin’s only “real” friends.  i wish there were a better word to use than that, because i really don’t mean it like…as if merlin’s relationships with other people weren’t…valid, or important, or based on true love and care.  they were.  but there’s just not a better way to express that will and lancelot were the only people who ever even knew who they were friends with, who saw merlin for exactly who he was and said “i love you still.”  they were the only ones whose friendship was something merlin didn’t have to be afraid of losing solely for existing.
i always think of morgana’s line in 2.11 - ‘i don’t want to be brave.  i just want to be myself. i don’t want to be alone anymore.’
around everyone else, merlin has to be brave.  he has to keep up the pretense, which means even when he’s surrounded by friends, he’s completely isolated.
with will and lancelot, though, he could be himself.  with will and lancelot, he wasn’t alone.
6) post-script
i really appreciate being given the opportunity to muse to myself about this in more detail - i actually needed to think through some things regarding gwaine anyway, for writing purposes, and this was actually really helpful in organizing my brain.  so thanks, anon, for the prompt!  
i know my answer probably runs counter to your own interpretation of things, but as i said, this is just my own personal outlook.  i typed it up because the message got me thinking, and because i know i have a couple of friends who might find it interesting, but my thoughts apply only to me, and i do not mind at all if folks think about these things differently!  nobody is obligated to agree with anything i write, or give it any further thought, or even read it at all - we’re all going to engage with this story in different ways, so if anybody finds that this isn’t their cup of tea, please feel free to scroll on by, and keep having fun with this show in whatever way makes you happiest! :)

Tumblr media
Percy Jackson stretched his legs out in front of him and draped a blanket over them. There were few things he indulged in, but a good plane seat was one of them. He was spoilt for it but having the space to lay his unreasonably tall body down for eight hours seemed like a worthy investment. The announcements that continuously filtered through the crackly speakers were background noise as the bustle of people getting to their seats flowed throughout the cabins. He stared out his little window at the neon-jacketed guides and airport officials directing people to wherever they needed to be. He loved watching people just do things. There was something calming about knowing others weren’t interested in him in any way. That people got on with their lives despite the turmoil nobody knew about.
A flight attendant stopped next to him with a polite smile, “Champagne sir?”
“No thank you, a water please. Too early for alcohol.” He grimaced.
Mirth danced in her eyes as she glanced up at the rest of the passengers, some dangling flutes between their fingers. “Absolutely sir, anything else?”
He shook his head, before leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes. His pre-flight ritual, which consisted of him snuggling as comfortably as possible it his seat and trying to fall asleep, was already behind. The presence of a certain blonde-haired, blue-eyed CEO taking up the scattered pieces of his mind. It was crazy to think they had met almost a year ago, crazier still to think that about how much they had changed in that time. Percy at least felt like a completely different person to the one who had stepped off a plane from Hawaii all those months ago and attended his alma mater’s dinner. Although the university had surprised them with plaques honouring their contributions, it was seeing Jason Grace, learning about him that felt like the real reward. Hell, he was only half joking when he said he’d marry the guy the next Tuesday.
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts. We will be taking off shortly. In the meantime please turn your attention to the screens in front of you for a video detailing the safety measures you will need to know while aboard this flight.”
He blinked back into the world and turned half his attention to the screen and the other half to locating the blonde he couldn’t seem to keep away from. He knew the safety briefings by heart, but he always felt bad for not paying attention. Someone worked hard to make those. He didn’t spot Jason in the two minutes the video played and then it was too late because the plane gave a low rumble and suddenly, they were lurching into motion. His heart climbed to his throat and he gripped his fingers underneath the blanket.
“Okay Percy,” He mouthed to himself, “You can do this. It’s at most fifteen minutes of instability and then you’ll be up in the air and you won’t even feel it.”
“Just fifteen minutes.” He kept repeating, taking deep shaky breaths. “Fifteen minutes.”
The plane jaggered down the runway, slow enough that he could still read the road signs indicating altitudes and compass directions and all sorts of fun information he didn’t care about. He felt the huge machine turn into the long stretch of tar that led them to the sky and his stomach clenched painfully. This was always the worst part. Take off. It felt like his entire body flew off with the plane while he stuck to the ground, superglue cementing him to the floor with no escape. He didn’t feel free. He felt torn.
The plane gave a horrible lurch and then it was screaming down the runway, grass and yellow lines blurring past them. They were going so fast he’s sure they’d break the sound barrier. He squeezed his eyes shut. Knuckles white as he twisted his hands together. The plan flew down the road and into the sky. His whole body felt suspended in space. He wanted to come down. He didn’t want to be here. Even with his eyes closed he could feel how high they were. He hated it.
Slowly, the plane started to level out until he felt his body realign: feet under him, hands beside him, head above him. He opened his eyes, spots dancing in his vision as they got used to the light once more. The seatbelt sign dinged above him, and a series of clicks followed. People got up to use the bathroom and grab things from the overhead compartments. He wasn’t going to get up until he was out of this plane. So he shoved his headphones over his ears and pressed play.
I will always love you how I do
Let go of a prayer for you
Just a sweet word
He gazed out the window, clouds close enough to whisper to, and his lips pulled up in a soft smile. The sky was beautiful. It just sucked that they had to get into a death trap to get to it. With his ocean eyes pinned to the balls of cotton hanging in the blue expanse his mind drifted. Reyna. He blinked. It was almost shameful how little he had thought of her since their breakup considering their year together. She had taught him tai quan do and baked him blueberry tarts. They had escaped to a little bubble in the forest and watched the leaves turn brown as they tumbled in bed. He knew she tapped her right foot when she was annoyed but her left fingers danced when she was excited. He knew she liked her eggs fried hard because she didn’t have time for sloppy yolk, but she liked them scrambled soft because it meant a richer croissant. But despite this she did not light his soul on fire. And he did not light hers either. They were merely striking matches without wood to burn. He heaved a sigh as he watched the threads of his relationship flutter before his eyes and fell asleep to them disappearing in gold strands leaking into the clouds. He succumbed to the bright sun and the soft warmth of memories and he didn’t wake until a loud announcement gave the signal that they were landing.
It was over so fast he didn’t have time to panic and he was grateful. Finally he was collecting his bags and walking out. A driver with his surname scribbled on a plaque stood front and center and with a quick flash of his ID and a hello they were piling into the car. He didn’t get a chance to see the blonde beauty, but the island was small and time was a plenty. They would find each other again.
“To the hotel sir?”
“Yes Luca, and then please stick around for half an hour. It’s just a quick freshen before I go to work. We have a lab meeting.”
The man nodded and then focused on the busy Italian streets they were navigating. He took in the colours and sounds as they whizzed by. It felt like a different universe. People were loud and excited and full of life and the little markets seemed to pull energy from the sun and direct it into joy. He wanted to tell Luca, to pull over, screw work, and take in the beauty of this little section of the world. But his phone buzzed in his pocket and he knew with a disappointed sinking in his chest that adventure would have to wait.
“Hello Percy,” Rachel Elizabeth Dare bubbled, ‘I assume you’ve arrived?”
“Yes Rach,” He sighed but amusement caught between his lips, “Have you got news for me?”
“No,” She sounded suspicious, “Why would I have news for you?”
“Because you only track my exact times when you want something but you’re too scared to ask me so you wait till I’m halfway across the country before asking.” He wanted to laugh as she made an indignant sound.
“Okay fine,’ She grumbled, “I wanted to know if I could close up the scuba for the weekend. I met a girl and i wanted to go out on Friday night with her.”
He couldn’t hold in his laugh any longer, “Of course you can Rachel. But I’m curious to know…” He trailed off.
“Ugh you are impossible.” He could imagine her eye roll so vividly. “It’s Clarisse. The principal from your old school.”
“Well, well, well,” He grinned, “I better be getting premium seats to the wedding.”
“Why does everything always end in weddings for you?” She groaned.
“Scuse me for wanting a happily ever after.” He scrunched his face, “Oh and guess who’s here?”
“Is this a good guess or a bad one?”
“Good.” He smiled, “Very good.”
She gasped, speaker crackling at his ear, “Tell me!”
“Jason Grace.”
“What?” She squealed, “Are you guys going to have hot rebound sex and then realise you like each other more than just casual fuck-buddies and end up getting married and adopting like six children?”
He burst with amusement, “Slow down there Rach. I know I throw around the marriage idea, but kids seem like a big commitment.”
“You right,” She said decidedly, “Kids are a lot of effort. Just get married then. But no eloping!” He pictured the crease in her freckled brows. “I want to be a bridesmaid.”
“Can’t promise anything,” He giggled.
“Perseus Jackson!” She scolded.
“Oof the full name.”
“I will tell your mother and she will kick your ass.”
“Okay, okay,” He laughed, “No eloping. I have to go. But remember to take the keys for the scuba with you. We do not need the fire department breaking the door again.”
She grumbled about hating him and then blew him a kiss and ended the call. With a smile still playing on his lips he thanked Luca and rushed into the hotel. Thankfully the check in was painless and fast and he was stumbling into his room in no time. He barely had time to appreciate the gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows and the ocean view it laid out before him. He promised himself he would take the time when he got back.
Quickly he hopped into the shower cursing when he realised he’d forgotten to take his socks off. With a horrified shudder he peeled them off and chucked them into the laundry basket, thankful it gets emptied every day. The water beat against his back, fogging up the glass and calming the racing in his veins. He gave himself the luxury of one extra minute to just take a deep breath and screw his head back onto his shoulders and then he jumped out and shoved on a pair of black slacks and a white button down. He didn’t bother to do the top few buttons, figuring he’d have time in the car. Instead he fastened a watch to his wrists, rolled up the sleeves till they sat at his forearms– any attempt to bear the Italian heat– and then he slid his feet into a pair of sleek ankle boots and mussed his damp curls. With half a moments glance at the mirror to make sure his face didn’t have patches of sun-cream and his collar was straight he grabbed his briefcase and walked out.
Glancing at his watch distractedly he rounded the corner, only to bump right into a hard chest.
“Oh,” He frowned, stepping back into a door. “Jason.”
“Hey,” The blonde smiled, “What a coincidence?” He laughed.
“You’re staying here?” It was really starting to feel like the universe was trying to tell him something.
‘Yep,” He gave a shy smile, blue gaze bright. “Guess you’re going to see a lot more of me then you expected huh?”
“I think you may be at more of a disadvantage than me.”
Jason looked at him, eyes dragging from his face down his body and eventually dropping to his shoes. Percy gave an involuntary shiver as the blonde tracked the same slow pace back up. “I think this could be very advantageous.”
“If you don’t stop staring at me like that I’m going to be very late for my meeting.”
He laughed, the previous sultriness giving away to a sparkle and flashing white teeth, “See you around Jackson.” He started walking away.
“Wait!” Percy called, “Date? Tonight? We can explore the city together?”
Jason smiled as bright as diamonds, “Sounds fun. Meet you in the bar at?”
He realised their time depended on when his meeting finished and suddenly, he wanted to cancel the whole thing and start now. ‘Seven thirty?”
“See you there. And have a good meeting.”
The blonde walked away, and Percy felt this time like he was floating away while his body remained superglued to the floor. He wanted to live in this feeling. Because this did not feel like being torn apart. This felt like coming home.
The elevator dinged down the passage and he crashed back to reality. With a string of curse words he raced for it and jumped in just as the doors began to close.
The meeting and subsequent lab tour felt endless and he concentrated on little less than half of what was being said, his mind more interested on the things waiting for him at the hotel, the person. But eventually it was over and him and Luca were cruising towards the Casa de Vita.
“Anything else you need sir?” His driver looked at him from the rear-view mirror as they turned into the hotel road.
“Recommend any good places for a first date?”
“Already met a lady sir?” Luca’s dark eyebrows almost touched his hairline in surprise.
“A man actually.”
The Italian chuckled, nodding his head as if in on some invisible joke, “The Tesora. It is just down the path and near the ocean.”
“Thank you Luca, have a goodnight.”
“And you sir.” Luca winked before peeling out of the entrance and fading into the setting sun.
Percy strolled to his room with a smile on his face, lost in a world full of possibilities. It was unsurprising then that he didn’t see the extra bag against the wall, or the shoes neatly placed by the door that weren’t his.
He took off his watch and undid the few buttons on his shirt, head lost to the glimmer of the ocean. He let his shirt fall open as he slipped off his shoes and walked towards the windows. The view really was spectacular. No matter how much he travelled it always blew his mind the places that existed, that he had yet to learn of. It was irresistible. It was perfect. It didn’t fail to cross his mind that the ocean was the exact same colour as a certain pair of gorgeous blue eyes. He blinked the image away, turning around, and his gaze landed on that exact aquamarine gaze.
“Jason?” He gasped, clutching his chest in surprise. “What are you doing in my room?”

ONF MEMBERS AS YOUR SIBLING (MK & U version)
Tumblr media
OMG I AM VERY VERY LOOKING FORWARD TO WRITE THIS PART!!!!!
Either you are related from Yuto or Minkyun side and either one of them later joined the family. Confusing? OK example you are Yuto’s sibling by blood and then later Minkyun joined. Or in reversed, Yuto joined later.
1. You are the youngest sibling (could be in terms age when the family comes together or you being born later OR stand in of Yuto’s youngest sister)
2. You are the middle sibling, being either Yuto’s elder blood sibling or Minkyun’s younger sibling but is older than Yuto.
3. Or you are the eldest (Good luck if you do lol there will be a lot of face palming), and alot of  “Yuto, I thought you are on my side????”
Any scenario that is suitable to your own imagination. Also there will be some repeated ideas from first universe because i would like to keep characterization consistency.
Btw this pair of sibling would be one of the noisiest.
My recommendation, you are the middle sibling. But you can totally imagine that your are younger ones. I will try to elaborate both, I hope i won’t confuse you guys🙈
Also age recommendations, Minkyun born in 1995 while Yuto is 1999, so if you are the middle sibling, your birth year is at between.  I would prefer as 1997 or 1998. Preferable that 1997 born if you are Yuto’s sibling, while 1998 born if you are Minkyun’s. 
 If you are the youngest, either you are same age as Yuto but later birthdate or the 3rd child that born after your parents marriage, in this case, 2 years younger than Yuto and 6 years younger than Minkyun.
Heads up I mentioned in the Hyojin & E-tion household, 3 households in this universe are very close to each other.So, apologies in advance and by all means there is not explicit favoritism (I did wrote about household interacting for previous universes). It just convenient and i felt we can use it this way.  Also, Minseok is Yuto’s classmate.
General headcanons
Yuto family moved to Korea when he is still a toddler. So he speaks Korean outside and Japanese back home. Because his family speaks in Kansai dialect, Yuto picks up that dialect automatically
Of course it could be Yuto’s family moved to Korea when he is at middle school age as well, it can be flexible.
Minkyun struggling to learn Japanese but then give up. But it never stops him to randomly drops in weird Japanese when he is hyper, and then leaving Yuto (and you)facepalming because Minkyun used it wrongly
Actually even though mature but super sensitive brothers. Well in very different ways. But should you live with them long enough, you pick up that intuitively 
I dont think this family will have alot of fight because both are sensitive in nature and deeply scare to hurt each other. So this family is all about giving out mental security to family members as well.
(its very different from MInseok Yuto household, because them 2 are in same age, so there is less factor to consider, while Yuto would have to put in Minkyun being a hyung when he started to get used to Minkyun’s existence. And Minkyun will sometimes, not in a bad way, being to passionately and freeminded hoping the younger one to open up more)
I mean, Yuto is defo the tsundere one while Minkyun radiates big puppy energy for this pair chemistry.
Loud
Bonus, Yuto never knew Minkyun can be that clingy lol XD
Minkyun never knew Yuto can be such a fan towards his weird antics XD He thought Yuto wont get his joke due to cultural differences, but turns out Yuto loves it (well cause mostly is body gag/ mom gaegu, like you see what Minkyun did during his birthday’s mini game heaven in 2020, that suddenly motor engine starting? Ya that is total epic lol )
Its super harmonious? like this family combi does not shy away on expressing hey i need help and family members super volunteer to help out if needed. (not that i mean other family does not help out each other, but this one is particularly doing it with super high tendency)
Due to Japanese background, Yuto might try to settle things on his own, but Minkyun will break that mindset stereotype and helps him out (like why you think it is a hassle for me? Ask for help if needed that is what family is here for.)
Minkyun playing guitar while singing and that is how your family know if he is at home or not.
Yeap in this universe Minkyun is a songwriter while Yuto is a dance coach and dancer (later when they all grow up, BTW i am thinking that Yuto and Minseok runs a dance academy later on.)
Minkyun is also part time sponsor/volunteer at pet shelter. In the end you and Yuto also are familiar faces at the spot. 
Also, hanging out being little part timers at Baskin Robbins lol
OH IF WANNA TRULY LINK EVERYTHING FOR UNIVERSE 3, BASKIN ROBBINS being the main meetup/setup point.  Jaeyoung is Minkyun’s friend so he would always drop by to have ice cream. While Changyoon could be doing a part time job there before and while occasionally drop by when he is nearby. 
welp they all live in the neighbourhood/same city in this universe so they all coincidentally bump at each other very often.
Either Yuto joining a school dance club or a dance academy  so there is where he met Minseok. (Who is a really curious kid who also look up to Yuto and Yuto also look up to him, cos dance talents)
(for this part I wont be talking about how Minkyun snuggling cat snacks cos its repeating what I wrote.)
 Scenario 1
If you are related with Yuto and Minkyun is the new join
Could you be are extroverted and you kind off help Yuto to get close to Minkyun
You and Yuto would find this new brother fascinating. He looks quiet at the beginning but later he will prove you both wrong
But when Minkyun is his serious mode, you will feel strange towards that too, because how can he has such large gap
i thinking its super cute and funny that if you and Yuto both gets intimidated at Minkyun’s height lol
It will be fun if Yuto has a denial stage aka hard time opening up to accept it because he is cautious, but you just bluntly accept it and joins Minkyun. It shows difference between personality of related blood siblings lol
IF actually you and your blood brother are introvertedly fun, Minkyun’s existence will be the key to spark both of your dork traits. It is a assuring factor for your parents that you 3 hang out very well.
its not like your family never heard Yuto laughed, but ever since Yuto and Minkyun opened up and gets close, Yuto is laughing alot.
you and Yuto both asking MInkyun for help when you two could understand some Koreans. But since Minkyun fools around 50:50, you two ends up googling or just straight up asking your friends
But if it is homework/grammar wise, Minkyun will really really explain it to you.
Minkyun also get close towards Yuto’s classmate, Minseok. I think a few times, you did not join, but the boys went out to roam the streets to feed stray cats/animals.
Bonus if in this hc, and you are younger than Yuto, and you have a crush on Minseok. Minkyun picks it up and would wanna help out but you told him to keep still XD
you three gonna be game buddies for sure lol
Scenario 2
If you are related with Minkyun and Yuto is the new joined / OR my preference, Yuto being the home stay student, and your family ends up unofficially adopts a Japanese sibling since Yuto continues his homestay contract with your family.
You and Minkyun thought Yuto is a bit distant in the beginning, and you three overwork your brains on trying too hard not to do something impolite towards each other culture.
But you and Minkyun would be surprise at how Yuto is so adapted to Korean culture later on.
Could be you are similarly shy like Yuto and need time to open up. This time Minkyun will be the one to open up first and slowly helps you.
Minkyun would suggest 3 of you to hang out at pet shelter. It does help.s
hould it is the homestay hc, I do see your family and Yuto’s family going along very well. Occasionally showing up to greet Yuto’s family during Skype session.
As Minkyun is the one who gave up, you are the one who would pick Japanese up later on. It gave Minkyun a shock when you and Yuto casually switching Japanese and Korean (with you amateur Japanese, but its already enough to give Minkyun a fright)
He might pout a bit, thinking/semi blaming himself a bit for not putting more effort to try to manifest the tool get close with Yuto. But then will throw the worry aside because its not really that important. Because he understands that its not like he and Yuto could not communicate anyways.
if it is the student hc, This could be when you and Minkyun are still high shcool-ers/ middle school-ers. And your school opens for foreigns students.
Minkyun being a bit worried because of he is 95er and Yuto a 99er. But when one day he sees Minseok come to visit, he goes: “ OMG thank goodness, I was so worried that he could not get along with classmate.”
Yuto just sidelining his hyung lol like chill dude, I interacts just fine ok. Don’t worry. 
(maybe Minseok comes to pass homework for Yuto because Yuto was sick and Minseok know the address.)
Similar to above, should you are Minkyun’s younger sibling, he can picks up that you have a crush on Minseok too.
Scenario 3
If you are the child that born later from your parents marriage
Them both flustered when they first meet the baby you.
Idk why for this hcs, I felt that age gap will be wider, as Yuto and Minkyun’s parents come together when them both are more older than other hcs. My age range idea is Yuto is about 10 or 13 while Minkyun is 14 or 17.
So, also I do think them both had a fight with parents, especially the mom because of her decision to get pregnant at older age. But quickly reconciled, they are just worried, no bad intentions. 
Because they are more grown compared to other hcs for this scenario, they help out on babysitting even more and even practical.
Minkyun basically is just like a young flustered dad while Yuto is the calmer one. But sometimes when the baby you throws a tantrum because you specifically wanted mommy, cues in both  Minkyun and Yuto flustered.
Also, Minkyun being funny but you are unbothered, 3 seconds later, it was Yuto who could not hold in and burst out laughter. 
You might be the one who pick up the language. And because you master both language, maybe later on your career pick would be interpreter
Rather than Yuto gets confused with language, you are the one who gets confused with language  in the beginning lol
It only got better when Yuto decided that you should speak Japanese with him and Korean with Minkyun in the household.
Minkyun is gonna let his baby young sibling ride him, and he will do his iconic either elephant or horse voice imitations.
(super funny bonus, if you are scared of that when you are a baby, but it got better later on.)
A/N I will stop here because I dont wanna write repetitive stuffs

Again, no Beta, barely proofread, gotta go to sleep! Stupid work! I want to start Chapter 3 so I can finally get working on dialogue! lol Anyway....
Beast and the Princess - An Entrapdak AU
Chapter 2
Kadroh had lost all track of time. It was still easy enough to count clicks, of course, but without a Horde data pad to perform the necessary calculations it was too difficult to convert the planet’s light cycles to Imperial reasoning. He had been within the castle walls for five darkening periods, but in his current state he had no way of understanding exactly what that actually meant.
The Beast had offered what appeared to be a modified native data pad, but he found it too confusing to even contemplate. When provided with analog marking materials he attempted what he could remember, but gave up after it only produced tears.
Kadroh was not proud of himself in this time, but at least could take solace in the fact that none of his Brothers would ever know of his shame.
The Beast, incomprehensibly, had been nothing but gracious to him. It had taken the time to request what native foods he found palatable and had by some magic procured them.
By Prime’s light, the situation was so terrifying that he had come to believe in the native magic. No logical process could properly explain this castle, nor its Beast, otherwise.
The bizzare creature had, in general, a sensible form - two lower limbs, two manipulator limbs, a standard exemplified by Prime and the Brothers and seen replicated often throughout known space. But Kadroh hesitated to use the terms “legs” and “arms,” for the creature rarely used them as such; instead, most interaction with the world appeared to be through the Beast’s vast amount of purple - again, “hair” seemed too wrong a word to apply. Whatever it was that flowed dozens of paces in length from the Beast’s head, fine strands that seemed stronger than titanium yet infinitely flexible, capable of far too much independent movement for Kadroh to comprehend. Its face appeared featureless, no mouth despite the creature’s ability to verbally communicate, and while in other circumstances he might have found familiarity with the glowing eyes in context their unblinking nature was unnerving. Compounded with the lack of ears, it was utterly impossible to imagine what the Beast was thinking at any moment.
Its actions were no less reassuring. One hectoclick, it was pleasant, proclaiming the Brother a guest within the castle and free to roam as he pleased. All he had to do was make a request of the primitive mechanical servants throughout the halls, and they would serve him to the best of their limited ability.
But the Beast also clearly stated a refusal to allow Kadroh to leave. It seemed quite unconcerned with the very literal traps that spanned every hall he had thus discovered, merely reminding him that if he had trouble the servants would aid him.
Kadroh had spent as much time as he could attempting to find a logic to the castle, a means of exit. This became harder as time passed, as no logic could be found. The same door, from a room he had not left, would open at different times to different hallways. While a few rooms possessed windows to the outside, all of them were out of reach to the Brother and too small to be used for escape even if accessible. All they could do was mock him with the passage of time and light from the outside world, while he remained trapped within a labyrinth that changed every time he turned around.
The servants brought him plenty of clear water, which was good; he would have been in danger of dehydration, from the amount of crying he had come to do.
The Beast had offered him clean clothes at one point, which he had initially refused; the white Horde uniform with the familiar brand was the only comforting thing he had within this building of horrors.
But when he woke from an exhausting sleep after this request, a clean facsimile of his uniform lay beside him. The materials were strange, neither Horde nor what he had encountered from the natives, but of a surprisingly close texture to his own, and visually it was perfectly identical.
The next time he awoke, having changed into the offered clothes, he found his original uniform provided refreshed and folded neatly.
Kadroh briefly suspected the Beast was performing so illogically on purpose, alternating useful and obstinate, but even that did not appear consistent with its actions. It seemed honest in its offers of kindness, and strangely pleased every time he appeared to accept them. The Beast just seemed - unable to comprehend why Kadroh would wish to leave, or why the castle itself pained him. It also seemed to spend most of its time enthralled in its own projects, which it readily - if confusingly - explained to him at length if he happened upon the Beast while working upon one.
In truth, he was becoming strangely fond of the Beast, in a way. Its fixations and enthusiasm towards its projects reminded him painfully of his brother and Hordak’s never ending experiments.
This did not change his frantic desire for freedom, however. Nor made his slowly growing resignation to remaining trapped painful and horrifying.
Kadroh had begun to contemplate if he would go insane first, or simply die, when the halls of the castle boomed with a familiar voice in a familiar cadence.
“I wish to speak to the master of this building, and the captor of my brother.”
Author’s Notes
More timekeeping! One click is one millionth of a Revolution; this brings it to about half a second. A hectoclick is 100 clicks, a little under a minute. Kiloclick is also commonly used in the Horde, about 10 minutes. There is no hour equivalent; you just measure kiloclicks until you get to a Revolution.
None of this matters in the slightest, it just didn’t make sense for Kadroh to be doing all his time keeping with a solar-based cycle.
And if anyone’s noticed the use of pronouns, that will be addressed in the future! I had a bit too much fun creating headcanon for this silly little AU, if you haven’t already noticed! :P

D, I, C, K, A, T, and just for fun, R
YOU :D
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
Bruce/Clark. Seems nice, and super popular, but it just doesn't hold my imagination.
I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why
Tumblr fandom hasn't made me hate any I've been in. Not completely anyway, there are annoying parts of every fandom but *shrugs*. A few I'm not in that got annoying to see everywhere so I blacklisted them lol.
C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)
Destiel. I've written enough angry post about this before and not in the mood to go off right now lmao. But destiel is the ship I have disliked more then any other over the years.
K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms
@professorsparklepants Dai' stiho cousin! haven't talked lately but I love all of your fandom thoughts and headcanons! You posting and reblogging stuff has gotten me into a few fandoms over the years!
A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)
To much of a multiple shipper to get into everything but, Dick Grayson and Haruno Sakura are my main ship bicycles at the moment. So one of them slash almost anyone really!
Castiel/Meg/Sam is my spn ot3 that never leaves me alone when I'm in an spn mood.
Been in a bit of a cablepool and Loki/Verity mood lately as well.
Finally I've also started to shift back into an oc shipping mood. So various video game ocs and their love interests of choice.
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)
Nope. Some I have no interest in creating fic without them showing up but other than that no.
R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships
My first thought is Castiel/Raphael but I've got two people who consistently like my posts about them so not quite alone.
I have some crossover fic ideas but I don't really feel random crossover ships count the same?
All the rare pairs coming to mind have at least one other person I've run into who likes the idea.

ITP: an incomplete but lovingly assembled list of people who have it out for my kid
Tumblr media
hi anon, thank you!!
and omg. I... don’t know, lol. like, I’ve thought about it before, but I always just ended up going “???”. there just doesn’t seem to be anyone tailor-made for him, and it’s honestly weird. shounen tropes have taught me that these things are always foreshadowed in advance. so where is it? WHERE IS THE FORESHADOWING, WHERE ARE MY TROPES. he literally got kidnapped by a whole troupe of them and not a one made any real effort to click. that was like the villain equivalent of The Bachelor and it still didn’t get us anywhere omg.
anyways, since I’m undecided, I’ve taken the liberty of listing and rating all of the Possible Bakugou Antagonists I could think of on a scale of 1 to 10, and I’m not gonna pretend like I didn’t enjoy every second of it, either.
Spinner - 1/10
no offense Spinner. you’re a great guy. but we just didn’t connect. you have absolutely nothing in common. those sparks just aren’t flying. I’m sorry. you’ll find someone someday I know it just keep being true to yourself.
Stain - 1/10
gtfo.
Mr. Compress - 2.5/10
I have no idea who Mr. Compress will end up battling, but it won’t be Bakugou. how do I know this? I just know.
Dabi - 3/10
honestly, Dabi kind of has chemistry with everyone. so it’s a shame he’s already spoken for. by three other people, no less. between Endeavor, Shouto, and Hawks, he’s really got his hands full already. it really is a pity because he was the one who actually kidnapped Bakugou, like grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him through the portal and everything. but he has beef with too many other people to make room in his fridge for even more. sorry Bakugou.
someone from the Liberation Army - 3.5/10
they had better not! he deserves someone more interesting! but, the one thing they do have going for them is their fierce commitment to the whole QUIRKS ARE SUPERIOR!! ideology, because I do have to admit, there’s a part of me that does like the idea of Reformed Shithead Bakugou Katsuki taking a stand against some prejudiced dickbags. so yeah. but also, no.
Twice - 4/10
honestly this rating is too high. there’s no chemistry here either. but on the other hand, Twice is basically the Kirishima of villains, and I just really enjoy the concept of him antagonizing Bakugou lol. plus he does have the whole Satisfying Cannon Fodder thing going for him too on account of he can clone himself x infinity and just attack Baku in waves only to get repeatedly blown up. this does win him extra points, because I feel like one of the important criteria for a Bakugou Antagonist is the ability to actually put up not just a good fight, but an entertaining one, and that’s pretty difficult against a quirk like Kacchan’s. so yeah. this honestly won’t happen but if it did I would be down for it.
Gigantomachia - 4.5/10
on the one hand, Machia is insanely powerful and definitely a worthy antagonist. but on the other hand he has no personality whatsoever aside from LOYAL TO AFO!!! so yeah, he gets mad points for being a challenge, but I can’t see him having staying power.
 okay so now we’re done with the ones who really have no chance, and on to the ones who genuinely could really pull it off. starting with...
 Toga - 6/10
okay so Toga is pretty much a lockdown for being Ochako’s main villain honestly. but I’m gonna give her a decent score anyway, for three reasons:
(1) I love her.
(2) Bakugou is thus far the only male character in the series who’s actually had a real fight against a female character, and not pulled any punches. yeah boy!! he’s a feminist! so I would kind of love to see this even though Horikoshi probably won’t. boo.
and last but not least, (3) THE MIND GAMES. omg. who wouldn’t love to see Toga transform herself into Deku or Kirishima or BEST JEANIST NOOOO or Camie or whoever else you can think of that might fuck with Bakugou’s head. yesssss. god I love Toga so much.
anyways!
Hagakure the U.A. traitor - 7/10
see above re: mind games. you’ll notice that the top tier of this list consists solely of villains who (with the exception of Tomura) all have the whole Now It’s Personal thing going for them. this is especially important because there is no clear-cut candidate to be Bakugou’s antagonist yet. so if he’s going to get one, they’re gonna have to get cracking on that bad blood between them so he can get his vengeance on. anyways the traitor will probably wind up being someone else’s main villain in the end, but they still get a high score because they would do an excellent job if they did end up being Bakugou’s villain.
Hawks - 7.5/10
on the one hand, not an actual villain. but on the other hand, YOU KILLED MY MASTER angst for daaaaaaaays omg. holy shit. Hawks what kind of hole have you dug yourself into?? you probably think you’re so slick you can just fly out of any and all metaphorical holes. BUT NOT IF THE HOLES BLOW YOU UP, HAWKS. anyways yeah. I don’t think Hawks will be a final villain, but as things currently stand there is a very high likelihood of there being at least some temporary antagonism between them, and my verdict is: bring it.
Shigaraki Tomura - 8/10*
the * is there because this score is contingent on Deku and Bakugou facing off against Tomura together. as it is, Tomura’s been built up to be Deku’s antagonist, so he’s not going to go after Bakugou instead unless Gang Green is also there. even though Tomura did engineer Bakugou’s kidnapping and all but single-handedly launched his character development into orbit, so there is history there! but yeah, I just can’t see it happening unless they double team him. that being said, the odds of that are actually pretty good IMO, hence the high score.
All For One - 8.5/10*
same deal as Tomura! but he gets a higher score on account of him actually being the final villain. so if you, like me, believe that the series is building up to Deku and Bakugou working together to become The Greatest Heroes as a team, then you have to assume that this battle is inevitable. unless you’re all-in on Tomura being the final villain instead, in which case see the previous entry.
confession time: I’ve had this plot bunny?/headcanon?/?? thing in my head for the longest time in which the League launches a huge attack on U.A. near the end of the series, and either AFO or Tomura goes after All Might and almost finishes him off, but then Bakugou steps in before they can finish the job, and proceeds to take them on solo. and he puts up an insanely good fight, but loses in the end (because he’s still just a kid! HIS TRAINING IS NOT COMPLETE) and nearly dies and/or has his quirk stolen, but then Deku and/or the others show up, and the villains leave (for some reason. shh). it’s my self-indulgent hurt/comfort as-a-result-of-being-a-self-sacrificing-badass fantasy. anyways then he probably passes out in All Might’s arms or something because I love me some Dad Might angst also. the thing is, if Bakugou ever finds out about Nighteye’s prophecy, there’s a good chance he’ll react even worse than Deku, because it already almost came true, and it would have been his fault. All Might actually went into the Kamino battle thinking that was the end for him, even. willingly ready to give up his own life to save this kid. can you imagine if Kacchan ever learns that. anyways so yeah the idea of him taking a potentially fatal blow for All Might in order to stop the prophecy coming true is something that’s stuck with me for a while now. and it has just about nothing to do with Final Villains, but I just thought I’d throw that out there because that’s one way to establish some Now It’s Personal hella beef between two characters for sure. having one of them nearly kill the other while targeting his mentor lol. anyways I went off on a real tangent, my bad.
 so now, drum roll please! last but not least, we have...
 Ujiko - 9/10
you guys. like 3/4 of the way through this post I suddenly went “!!!!” and remembered, OH YEAH, WHAT ABOUT THAT GUY WHO FUCKING TORTURED AND KILLED BAKUGOU’S CHILDHOOD FRIEND, THOUGH. holy shit. I forgot all about him. and also, what the hell, what is this thing all of a sudden where people whom Bakugou is secretly fond of keep getting secretly murdered by villains and he doesn’t know about it omg. like, why is that an actual trend. between all that and the prophecy, it’s like Horikoshi is actually just hoarding this huge pile of Things That Bakugou Doesn’t Know About Yet That Will Absolutely Fuck Up His Day When He Finds Out. like, I picture him stacking up a bunch of heavy boxes just behind a doorway and then waiting for Bakugou to step into the room so he can push the boxes over and they all fall on him and probably kill him fuuuuuuck.
anyways, but yeah. Ujiko, though. I really do think he’s got the best chance of becoming the main villain for Bakugou now that I think about it. all of the criteria are there.
(1) Satisfying Cannon Fodder - you get a Noumu! EVERY! BODY! GETS! NOUMUUUUUUUS fff but yeah. if you want bad guys for Bakugou to fight that he can blow up without feeling guilty, Ujiko’s your guy. -- though on the other hand, maybe he will feel guilty if and when he learns what the Noumus actually are. oh my god. which brings me to point two!
(2) ANGST FOR DAYYYYYYYS - hey guys, so everyone knows about this fun little thing, right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay so the short version is this: in a volume 7 omake, Horikoshi strongly implied that the winged Noumu who kidnapped Deku and was subsequently killed by Stain during the Hero Killer arc is -- or was -- Katsuki and Deku’s childhood friend Tsubasa. so right away, that’s fucked up. and it gets worse! because Horikoshi went on to include yet another hint tucked away in a corner of the first databook, confirming that Tsubasa was actually the grandson of that doctor in chapter one who diagnosed Deku as quirkless. the same doctor who is 99.9% confirmed to actually be AFO’s personal physician and the architect of the Noumus.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so yeah. this man took his own grandson and turned him into a lab experiment who was later murdered by another villain. and oh yes, that murder just so happened to caught on tape and subsequently went viral. holy shit.
I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this shoe to finally drop, guys, and I’ll continue to be patient. but holy shit, though. anyways, so yeah. if/when Kacchan and Deku learn about this, I can’t even imagine how they’ll react. but it’s safe to say that Ujiko has the Now It’s Personal factor more than covered. if Katsuki is going to go on a roaring rampage of revenge toward anyone, it’s this motherfucker right here.
and last but not least, (3) Ujiko is kind of at this perfect tier of almost-but-not-quite final villain level. like, he’s the guy behind the scenes. not on the same level as AFO, but there have definitely been hints that he’s pulling Tomura’s strings more than Tomura realizes. he seems to be AFO’s right hand man, honestly. so yeah, huge plot importance here, and definitely worthy of being a foil to the series’s deuteragonist. I can definitely see it happening.
so that’s it! I’m sure I’ve missed some people, but I think I got the big ones. anyways, this has been your friendly reminder that the Noumu are going to fuck everyone’s shit up, and there are tidal waves of angst on the horizon that we honestly might not survive. good thing we have a budding hero to root for who always wins no matter what. godspeed, kid.

BTS as boyfriends
Request: Headcanon request for bts as boyfriends? Love your blog btw!!
A/N: wow this was so cute omg I love this 
Seokjin
Tumblr media
• The Most Extra ™
• he’s really into all of the classic and cheesy stuff
• flowers sent to you when you’re at work or school just because? check
• home-cooked meals? check
• packed lunches with love notes? check
• picnic dates? check
• a true romantic at heart
• you’ll be the test dummy for all his dad jokes
• “so why should you never date a baker?”
• “omg Jin no jokes!”
• “just let me tell you!”
• *sigh* “okay...why should you never date a baker?”
• “because they’ll only dessert you!”
• ...*crickets*...
• he’s also sort of a mother hen
• like don’t do anything remotely dangerous
• at all
• if you’re sick....oh boy
• Jin will not allow you to lift a finger
• which is sweet but it gets a little overbearing lol
• but at least you get pampered with yummy homemade soups!
• he’ll probably nag you about how you should take better care of yourself while spoon-feeding you soup
• but he actually really loves to take care you
• Jin isn’t a huge cuddler
• like he likes to cuddle but he doesn’t always want to in my opinion
• like if you’re in bed trying to go to sleep and you initiate cuddling one of two things can happen:
• he’ll accept your cuddles
• or he’ll push you away with a “not now I’m trying to sleep!!”
•if you ask why he doesn’t want to cuddle he’ll always respond the same
• “I have to get my beauty rest. It’s not always easy being world wide handsome, you know.”
• Jin is a great boyfriend, really
• I mean gosh you’re so lucky to have him
Yoongi
Tumblr media
• so you know how everyone thinks that dating Yoongi would consist of spending a majority of the time in his studio?
• well they are correct
• yeah you might as well just get over it honey because this man eats, sleeps, and breaths music okay
• he’s a workaholic
• but even though most of your time with him is spent lounging around while he produces/writes music, you can’t complain one bit
•getting to be the person that’s there with him in these moments is a blessing honestly
• you wouldn’t trade it for the world
• but it’s not like he ignores you while you’re there
• at least not all the time lol
• he lets you sit on his lap while he’s messing around on the keyboard or while he’s listening to a prior recording he’s made
• which by the way he secretly loves getting your input on songs he’s recorded
• *insert shy, bashful Yoongi here*
• okay okay so there are moments where Yoongi takes you on proper dates
• and by proper dates I mean lying in his or your bed while snuggling and taking naps
• he’ll throw in a little Netflix and chill occasionally
• *wink wonk* ;))
• when the two of you do go out, Yoongi will take you to a restaurant of your choosing
• he likes to keep it simple though
• getting a bite to eat, walking around town or a nice park
• it sounds to others like dating Yoongi would be boring and uneventful but let me set things straight
• dating Min Yoongi is anything but that okay
• it’s comfortable, relaxed, and you would not have it any other way
• you love him and he loves you and that’s all that matters
• you don’t need any special things in your relationship to make you happy
Hoseok
Tumblr media
• so you’re like never depressed when dating Hoseok
• like who needs a Xanax when you have Hoseok??
• he’s your happy pill
• your sunshine on a cloudy day
• this man keeps things fun and exciting
• there’s never a dull moment with this man
• he’s literally down to do anything like all the time
• 24/7
• oh and he’d be your dance instructor
• It doesn’t matter if you couldn’t dance before dating him
• once you’re with him he’s going to show you how to dance
• which is fine with you
• you get a hot boyfriend and a free choreographer all in one!
• I feel like he’d take you to a lot of amazing places
• like Hoseok doesn’t do ordinary dates
• wanna fly to Paris?? okay!!
• wanna go skydiving?? sure why not!
• so Hoseok would be your #1 fan
• like okay so it goes without saying that you’d be supportive of him and his music career with BTS
• obviously
• but he’d hype you up anytime you do anything
• if you’re going for a job interview or taking an extra class
• best believe Hoseok will be cheering you on the whole time
• so literally dating Hoseok would be an awesome adventure
• literally the best boyfriend you could ask for
• 10/10 would recommend
Namjoon
Tumblr media
• and the winner of the boyfriend of the year award goes to
• Kim Namjoon!
• this man y’all.....
• what a dream
• just imagine getting to be the person he calls ‘baby’
• like........asdfghjkl
• so he’d call you baby like all the time
• it’s really the only pet name he’d use
• but he’d call you baby more than your own name
• and Namjoon is a smart man
• he knows the effect it has on you so he knows how to use that against you
• he likes knowing that it makes you get goosebumps every time he calls you baby
• he also enjoys your blush
• oh and speaking of him being smart
• he sometimes has a way of speaking that sort of goes over your head
• he doesn’t mean to but he just is kind of on this whole other level
• you’re so lucky you got a hot nerd as your bf
• he totally rocks the hot nerd look am I right or am I right ;)
• deep late night philosophical talks
• the two of you would question the universe and your places in it
• you talk about if soulmates are really a thing
• which you say they are because you know for a fact that he’s yours
• you get each other on a deep level
• and okay btw I’m not saying Namjoon is always so philosophical and theological
• this man is a goof
• a clumsy goof
• he likes to joke around
• he also falls a lot which worries you but also makes you laugh
• you like to tease him about his two left feet sometimes
• he breaks things a lot
• okay I know the whole ‘Namjoon breaks everything a lot’ thing is old don’t @ me

• he’d take you to so many amazing places
• and the places he takes you are always so aesthetically pleasing too
• which makes for good pictures of the two of you
• gahhhhh dating Namjoon would be such a dream
• what a man
Jimin
Tumblr media
• so dating Jimin would be kind of confusing
• like one minute he’s this sweet, soft little mochi boy
• then the next he’s this sex demon
• and you’re like ?????
• it gives you whiplash lol
• but dating him is amazing omg let me tell you
• Jimin is extremely loyal
• all he ever wants is to spend his free time with you
• which you’re not complaining of course
• spending time a part from each other is literally painful :(
• when he sees you for the first in a while he’s attached to your hip
• always holding your hand or keeping a hand at the small of your back
• he’ll stroke your knee when you’re sitting at a table eating dinner or out with friends
• and this is where he can switch really easily
• because his hand can sometimes travel from its innocent place at your knee and go upward
• lol good luck trying to be discreet ;)
• he just missed you and he gets really needy for you and —
• okay we’re not gonna go there rip
• Jimin likes the moments when you’re wrapped in his arms and it’s early in the morning and the sun is starting to shine through the curtains
• he’ll sing to you
• his soft voice is so soothing omg
• it’s morning and you need to wake up soon but his voice will lull you back to sleep
• which often makes the both of you late to where you need to be lol
• but who would want to get out of bed when you could stay in with Jimin????
• if staying in bed with him because you don’t like being separated from your amazing boyfriend could be used as an excuse you’d definitely use it
• so remember when I said needy??
• yeah Jimin is pretty needy
• like it’s not in an annoying way but please handle him with care okay
• he’s like a plant
• give him sunlight, water, and kind words daily
• or a puppy
• he pouts and gives you this look and you’d have to be heartless to be immune to his puppy dog eyes
• don’t forget to tell him how much you love him
• he already knows you love him but he likes to hear you say it
• Jimin likes to know he makes you happy
• which of course he does
• he makes you the happiest person alive

• I mean these people match clothes just to go to the mall
• yeah that’s you and Taehyung
• and you’ll match even in the accessories
• you’re that couple
• that couple that’s so undeniably in love and it kind of rubs people the wrong way because they don’t have what the two of you have
• also because there’s no shyness when it comes to pda lol
• you’re all over each other it doesn’t matter where you’re at
• Taehyung can have his arm around you and you’ll have your hand on his thigh
• and if the moment strikes you two are sucking each other’s faces off in front of everyone while sitting on the bench in the middle of the mall :)
• lol but you don’t care
• because you’re so in love~~~~
• so I hope you like pictures
• because you’ll be the muse of all Tae’s photography inspirations

• Tae would be the boyfriend to keep pics of you in his wallet
• when he’s away on tour he’ll pull them out to look at them when he misses you
• he’ll also show all the pics he took of you to the other members
• “Look! Here’s a picture of (y/n) cooking!”
• “Oh and here’s a picture I took of (y/n) brushing their teeth!”
• yeah so Taehyung is amazing and would be the bestest boyfriend ever okay
• wow just think someone someday will get to call him their boyfriend
• and that person won’t ever be me :’’)
Jungkook
Tumblr media
• you and Jungkook are that couple that act like best friends and people can’t ever tell that you’re in a relationship
• like people will tell you that the two of you would make a good couple and should start dating
• and the two of you are just like ????
• people are surprised to know that you actually are together
• you pick on each other constantly
• like there was this one time the two of you were at a restaurant
• and the waiter said to enjoy your meal
• and you said “you too!”
• Jungkook teased you to no end and mimicked you in a mocking voice
• you threw a fork at him
• but it’s so fun with Jungkook okay
• he’s the boyfriend that’ll give you the aux cord and let you pick the songs
• and the two of you will have a mini concert in the car
• like you are screaming the words as loud as you can
• you get weird looks from people in the other cars lol
• the two of you like to play video games together
• he usually always wins

• you’ll challenge him to a rematch
• he’ll let you win secretly
• because he likes to see the smile on your face
• your smile is his favorite thing ever
• Jungkook is the type to kiss you without warning
• like you’ll be talking and he’ll have the urge to kiss you and bam! he’s kissing you
• you want to complain but he’s a good kisser so there’s no point in fighting it
• and speaking of which he’ll kiss you during an argument too
• you’re yelling and he doesn’t want to fight anymore and has no way of shutting you up other than grabbing your face with both hands and kissing all the air out of you
• it works every time so why stop now lol
• okay so under all the pestering and teasing
