i just finished volume 1 and Shen Qingqiu makes me so insane like. the level of detachment he has to his surroundings and to HIMSELF... my guy you are in MOURNING. you FEEL BAD and are GRIEVING YOUR FRIEND. yes you already knew it was going to happen, but rationalizing your actions and dismissing your emotions doesnt make them LESS REAL. like. idk maybe if Every Other Person keeps treating you like you're a mourner. maybe its because. you are in mourning? just a thought.

Modern AU HOTD Yandere HCs
note: idk what possessed me to make this lmao
warnings: yandere content, dark content, toxic relationships, sexual innuendo in aegon's part, college students au, helaena is my sweet baby ily helaena targaryen
┍━━━━━━━ ˗ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ˗━━━━━━━┑
Aemond Targaryen
Tumblr media
☆ He meets his darling in college and is charming enough for them to trust him almost immediately. Aemond is smart, and often offers to tutor his darling in any subjects they're having trouble with, even going as far as renting out a room in the campus library so they can study without being bothered by other students.
☆ There comes a time where Aemond becomes romantically involved with his darling, after careful planning, and he invites them over to his apartment. He's a Targaryen, so he lives lavishly, but his apartment is tasteful, and you wouldn't know that he's rich just by looking at his home. Inside resides his large Maine Coone, Vhagar. She's this huge, extremely old and grumpy cat, who surprisingly takes a liking to Aemond's darling, and is always more active when they come around.
☆ Aemond is smooth with his relationship, yet he's far from perfect. Aemond is jealous, possessive, and obsessive when it comes to his lover, and hates sharing them with anyone else. He's more on the traditional side, as well, and desires to make them his little housewife as soon as possible.
☆ He most definitely tells his mother about his darling! Alicent and Aemond have weekly lunch dates, and she loves (Name) already from just hearing her son talk about them. She wants to meet them so bad, and once she does, she absolutely adores them. Aemond is a mama's boy. Not meeting his mother is out of the question!
Aegon Targaryen II
Tumblr media
☆ The resident fuckboy, Aegon desires his darling more than any of his hookups, but she just doesn't seem interested in casual stuff. I can definitely see Aegon going for the nice girl, and he's an absolute menace when it comes to his darling! Aegon is high key annoying, but he's definitely an art student, which makes a lot of sense.
☆ I feel like his darling would be good friends with Helaena, so he asks her to put in a good word for him. Despite his reputation, Aegon is really devoted to his darling and has a hard time with anyone else that he tries to bring into his bed. It's a very toxic situation because while he's in bed with someone else he's thinking of (Name).
☆ Aegon is a bitch, like he'd let a pretty girl walk all over him kind of bitch. Once he does get involved with his darling, he's incredibly good at pleasing them. It doesn't matter what they want. He's there. This isn't just a sexual thing. Either way, he'd literally do anything for their approval.
☆ He's dependent on his darling, as well. He loves his sweet girl so much that he's unable to imagine his life without her! He wants to crawl into her body so she can never be without him, and Aegon recognizes how creepy that is, so he settles for keeping her in his bed as long as humanly possible.
Helaena Targaryen
Tumblr media
☆ This sweet girl is an entomology student! She loves her bugs and is so passionate about them that she goes into that kind of career path. She meets her darling through her mother, unsurprisingly. Helaena doesn't have many friends, and so when she finally finds herself a companion, she's very happy!
☆ Helaena's feelings for her darling don't stay platonic, obviously, and she ends up wanting them to be more than friends. I definitely think she's neurodivergent, so Helaena isn't quite sure how to navigate her emotions when it comes to romance, but she knows that she absolutely adores (Name).
☆ She's a stalker. That's the only way to describe Helaena. She loves observing. She always has, but it's different when it comes to (Name). They're very close, and Helaena just loves looking at them! She thinks that her darling is so pretty, the prettiest in the entire world. So, Helaena follows her darling around constantly. When they're not hanging out together, she tries to steal glances of them. She's so sneaky about it, too. You'd never catch her in the act.
☆ Helaena hyperfixates on things, so she really appreciates it when people take in interest in her hobbies or whatever she's into currently. Like, she went through a phase where she was absolutely fixated on doing crochet, and she was making little bugs to give to her family and darling. She blabbers on to Aegon about her darling. I feel like in a modern AU, they would be very close :((((
☆ She has a pet tarantula named Dreamfyre 💕

Summary: While originally being fast friends Jace ditches the reader to become part of the in crowd at university only to end up right back where he started. TW: Jace being a douche but redeeming himself, swearing, and stoner Heleana ig?
A/N: I saw headcannons for cocky Jace and my mind ran with it so I present cocky Jace.
Word count: 4240
Tumblr media
Masterlist Here
Jace Velaryon was almost a legend at Kingslanding University. All his family were alumni of the school who were always making donations and appearing at university events. One of the student halls was named after his dad’s family, the Velaryon Court, and the Dragonstone library was funded by his grandfather and was engraved with his mother’s maiden name. No one was shocked when he pledged to The Fraternity of the Seven or when he became the youngest captain of the rugby team, a position nearly always held by a Targaryen or Velaryon. His cousins were also on the team and Jace, Aegon, and Aemond were always the talk of the school. The only reason he even went to university was to study business so he could take over the family business after his mother. The company that basically employed half of Westeros. It was no surprise that people wanted to be in with the Velaryon-Targaryen Crowd, but you had quickly learned it was far better to avoid them than share their company.
In first year, you shared quite a few classes with Jace and the other Targs, as everyone called them, and at first, he was nice. Hell, you were even kind of friends. He sat next to you in High Valyrian 101 and freshman English and every class he would text you first to see if you wanted a coffee from the canteen. He would genuinely try in class and attended your study sessions you held in your dorm with friends, and he was always the one who would bring the most snacks for people to share.
It had been his father that had encouraged him to join the family frat but even when he first joined it Jace was a normal guy. He didn’t brag when he made the rugby team or when he got into his frat. Something changed though halfway through freshman year. He stopped showing up to study sessions and instead just asked you to send him your notes. You were fine with it at first, figuring he was just busy with all his new activities. Until you realised his new activities was a girl called Sara Snow who made fun of you and your friends at every opportunity. Jace had known this but clearly, he didn’t care as he sat in class with her tongue halfway down his throat.
It only got worse over time. He basically dropped all of the friends he had made when he started and instead hung out with the senior in crowd who were happy to get a Velaryon in their mix. He stopped eating at the Canteen, turning his nose up at the coffee and insisting on ubering Starbucks to class. He was still passing his classes somehow, but you had stopped replying to his texts asking for notes and realised it was the only thing he still asked you about. The down to earth humble guy had died, and a new frat boy cocky athlete had taken its place.
Unlike Jace you had stuck with your first-year friends and now in senior year you were still best friends with them all. Alysanne, Arra, Lynara and you had formed a strong friendship group whom all shared a mutual hatred of the Targs. Well except for one. Heleana Targaryen was nothing like her brothers or cousins and had joined your group a couple of years ago. At first, she seemed so innocent and shy, but you soon realised she was just a massive stoner who had a special interest in bugs and women.  
The five of you were sat in the canteen eating lunch when Alysanne brought up the upcoming rugby game, “I have to go so you all have to go and we have to look cute.”
You rolled your eyes knowing exactly why she and Arra wanted to go, “You have an unhealthy obsession with Cregan you know?” you said nodding at the pair who were scrolling through Alysanne’s phone looking at outfits. “He’s not gonna see you when he’s mid game,”
“Maybe but,” Alysanne said with a smirk, “He’s been messaging me. So now we have to go support him and I have to look cute for when I not so accidentally bump into him after when he’s all sweaty and glowing from his win,”
“Aren’t they going up against the Dornish Academy? Aren’t they liking the ones who won the whole thing last year? Or was that someone else. Its hard to keep up when they talk about this crap at dinner,” Heleana said. You couldn’t imagine what it’d be like to have to put up with her family all year round.
“Yeah, but this year’s Jace is captain, so they’ll be way better than last year. Marston Waters was such a loser. And a creep,” Despite her obsession with Cregan, Alysanne did genuinely enjoy and followed the rugby team, something you couldn’t understand why. “He actually seems to know what he’s doing,”
“That’s only cause he’s a Valerian. No offence Hel,” you added, and she just shrugged, “If he wasn’t born with that silver spoon up his ass no one would care about him,”
“I mean yeah he can be douche,” Arra jumped in, “But he’s hot and he’s fit, and he can run really fast,”
You gasped in fake surprise, “Don’t tell me you’re falling for a Targ Arra,” you said as you clutched her arm, “Are you ill? Are you dying?”
Arra swotted your hand away as Helena chuckled to herself, “You’re just mad you fancied him in freshman year and he ditched you for Sara Snow,” Arra said.
You hated that she was right and sighed as you took your hand away. He had gone from being so kind to you to pretending he didn’t know you existed. Or maybe he really forgot about you. It didn’t help that Sara smirked at you every time she passed you in the hallway, clutching onto his arm even tighter the whole of first year.
All of this was clearly new information to Heleana since you had sworn them all to secrecy after freshman year. “You used to like my cousin? That’s so gross,”
“Tell me about it,” you muttered before quickly changing the subject, “So how mandatory is it we go with you tomorrow, Aly?”
“Like 100%. He’s invited me to the after party and told me to bring you all,”
“Cregan Stark knows who we are?” Helena asked.
Lynara snorted at her words, “Dude he’s, my cousin. Plus, everyone knows who you are Helena even if you wanna be a stoner loner so bad,” Helena rolled her eyes but couldn’t even argue with her since her last name was all over campus, “Plus Arra and Alysanne went to high school with me and Cregan. No clue how he knows you though,” she said nudging your shoulder.
“He’s probably just seen me hanging around you guys before or something,” you assumed which seemed to satisfy everyone’s curiosity, “Can’t we skip the game and just go to the party?”
Shock and offence plastered Arra and Alysanne’s faces, “Why do you hate me being happy?” Aly asked and you rolled your eyes, “Do you want me to die old and alone and surrounded by 15 cats?”
“Why 15 cats?” you asked, ignoring her question.
“Oh my god will you just please come to the game? If you come, you can be maid of honour and Cregan and mines wedding?” she offered prompted Arra to shout her protests.
You laughed as Arra continued her rant about how she was supposed to be maid of honour before interrupted, “Fine you have a deal. But know. im only doing this to piss her off,”
“You suck,” Arra deadpanned causing you to laugh more, “But as revenge I get to pick your outfit,” you groaned but not wanting to argue allowed it.
Shockingly her outfit choice for the game was fine but it was the outfit for later you worried about. Instead of worrying you tried your best to ignore the sinking feeling whenever your friends brought up the after party and actually tried to enjoy the game to appease Aly.
When the game was over everyone began to rush either on the pitch to talk to the players or out the stadium to get ready for the after party. You and your friends however were stuck trying not to get knocked down by the crowds as Aly swooped in for the kill. You watched her obvious flirting and hair tossing and arm grabbing. Arra was doing the same with a guy from the sulking Dornish team, but her eye lash batting seemed to put a smile on his miserable face. You watched in awe, “How do they do that?” You asked.
Lynara shrugged and tore her eyes off the rugby boys, “Flirt?” she asked, and you nodded, “I don’t know you just like do it,” she said to which you rolled your eyes at her unhelpfulness, “Its hard to explain. You touch their arm, butter them up, act like an idiot while batting your eyes. All the cliches really. Laugh at all their jokes. That kinda thing,”
“What if they’re not funny?”
Helena snorted as Lynara almost face palmed, “This is why your single,” Helena said, and you swotted her in response, “You can’t just talk to a guy about the history of Valyria and expect him to know that means you wanna fuck him,”
“All you do is talk about bugs,” you said as if it was some kind of defence for your own helpless love life. “Is that why you don’t get any?”
“I don’t get any because I don’t want anyone here,” she corrected, “But clearly you do so spill,”
“No, I don’t!” the warm blood rushing into your cheeks did little to convince the pair who started to laugh at your fluster, “This is why I hate rugby,”
“I’m wounded,” a voice said from behind you, and you quickly spun around to see your least favourite Targs standing there. Jace walked to stand in between you and Helena, draping his arm over both your shoulders but you quickly shrugged his sweaty arm off. “If you hate it, why were you cheering for me?” He grinned, not caring about the rejection or the way you wouldn’t even look at his stupid perfect grin.
“We came for my cousin,” Lynara said, and you’d never been so grateful to have a stark on your side.
Jace looked down at Helena, “What about your auntie? You here for him too?”
She snorted, “Please im here to watch the Dornes tackle my brother,” you couldn’t help but laugh as you looked over to where Aegon was getting checked over by the school nurse for concussion. The boy charged into everything blindly and you were shocked he still had any braincells left.
Jace laugh made you stop yours however, but his attention eventually turned back to you, “So if she came for her cousin and she came for her brother. Who were you cheering for?”
Before you could come up with a response or come back Arra and Aly returned with Cregan in tow, “I was just telling Cregan how we turned you into a rugby fan,” Aly grinned as she brought her future husband over.
Jace’s arm returned to your shoulder and a massive grin on his face, “Oh really!” he beamed, “I thought you hated rugby?” he batted his eyelashes like an innocent child, and you did your best not to hit his perfect face.
Shrugging off his arm yet again, and receiving a questioning look for Arra in the process, you scrambled for a response, “I guess its not as bad as I expected,”
Cregan’s smile unlike Jace’s felt genuine and not mocking, “Hopefully we can turn you into a mega fan by the end of the year. Are yous coming tonight? Who can turn down free punch?” and with that your friends committed you to an evening of drinking, fun, and rugby guys much to your dismay.
You tried your best not to ruin Arra’s and Aly’s moods as you all got ready for the celebration, but Lynara was texting you to make sure you were okay. You didn’t know why the whole thing with Jace still bothered you, but it did. And seeing him act so casually flirty and friendly today out of nowhere didn’t help.
Despite it all you stood outside the Fraternity of the Seven with your girls as you waited to get into the party. This was your first official Frat party, so Arra had insisted you looked the part with a tight short black leather skirt, tights, and long sleeve top. Aly’s had done you hair and makeup to match and it had felt good to get ready like this in the dorms. Despite the modesty of the outfit, you felt exposed as the frat boys at the door let yous in and your good mood was soon diminishing.
Aly’s was gone within seconds to join Cregan at the opposite side of the room and Arra was soon to leave as well to join some other guys. Lynara linked her arm with yours and began dragging you to the drinks table. “Beer or punch?” she asked as she grabbed you a cup and filled it with your choice before handing it to you, “You’ll feel better after you drink something,”
“Or I’ve got weed if you prefer,” Helena offered causing Lynara to roll her eyes.
You laughed as you began to drink the cheap alcohol, “Im good but thanks Hel. Im at least going to try and enjoy this,” and you did. You ended up sitting with Baela, who you still struggled to understand how she was related to Hel, and some of her friends.
You were sat on the arm rest of the couch facing the group with your legs resting in Hel’s lap. You did your best to join in conversation, but it was mainly just a couple words here and there not really knowing what to say so to keep your mouth busy you kept sipping your now third drink. As you were laughing at one of Baela’s stories you felt someone’s toned abs lean against your back. “What’s so funny?” Jace asked and you felt your body tense as he draped his arm over your shoulder.
Baela, who was still laughing filled him in on the story and Jace kept up with the conversation, not even acknowledging the position you were both in. Hel gave your foot a squeeze and looked at you as if to ask if you were alright and you nodded, knowing the scene she would cause if you hadn’t. Jace moved his hand to rest on your other shoulder, essentially locking you in place, and you could feel his smirk burning into the back of your head, but you refused to look at him. With Jace behind you you could feel so many eyes on you and you hated to think what they were thinking. Aly looked over and gave you a puzzled look but got distracted by Cregan as quickly as she looked.
At this point your mind was wondering, thinking of what to do or what was happening when Jace interrupted your thoughts, “You want another?” he said as he took your now empty cup from your hand.
“Huh? Oh yeah sure thanks,” you said and for a second it almost felt like freshman Jace getting you coffee again.
“Be back in a beat sweetheart,” and the thought died as quickly as it entered your head.
As soon as he had walked away Lynara had jumped up from her chair, grabbing your arm and pulling you off the couch with Hel following in tow. “Quick lets escape,” Lynara said as she dragged you to the other side of the room. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, im fine I was just like you know,” you said, and she nodded in response, “Isn’t he just gonna come find me?”
“Jace has the attention span of about 10 seconds,” Hel said and for whatever reason it only made you feel worse, “If you want, we can find Aly and Arra and ditch?”
“Nah its fine. I don’t wanna kill their vibe because of freshman stuff,” you said but your eyes were on Jace who was now making his way back to the couch with two cups and a very cutely confused look on his face. It almost made you wanna walk back over but when he looked up and you made eye contact you spun around to face the girls, “Let’s dance or something?”
“You wanna dance?” Lynara said shocked but quickly grabbed your arm dragging you to the dance floor before you could change your mind.
For a few minutes it actually took your mind off it all especially when Arra and Aly’s joined, finally ditching their guys for the evening. You lost track of how long you had been dancing but you were starting to regret not getting another drink, “Im gonna grab a drink be back,” you told Hel who just nodded before continuing her questionable robot dancing.
Once you arrived at the table you quickly poured your drink before deciding to down it and pour another. “Thirsty?” you snapped your head to the side to see Jace who must’ve only just came over. he stood beside you as he poured his own cup, “You wouldn’t have been so thirsty if you had waited for me to get back,”
“Lynara wanted to dance. I got distracted,” The lie slipped easily off your tongue as you began to drink your next drink, to increase the buzz you already had, “I didn’t think you’d mind,”
“I might be a Valerian but even we get offended when girls run away from us,” he said with his cocky grin but this time your buzz made you scoff in return, “What? You think we don’t have feelings?”
you rolled your eyes and briefly debated whether to just walk away but the cheap alcohol had obviously lowered your senses. “No, I think yous are all rich douchebags,” you said and Jace’s jaw slackened as his eyes widened. “Yous are all the same,” you continued despite any logic but you knew your freshman self would be proud, “Your daddy donates a few grand to the school, has your name plastered all over campus, and suddenly you think your mommy’s money somehow makes you the shit,” Jace went to say something but you didn’t stop, “So you ditch all your friends and skip all your classes and pick the bitchiest girls to date. Like seriously yous all chose the same mean girl in a different font its insane. Then you become rugby or football captains and spend all your time partying then take over your family business instead of the people that actually work for it,”
“That’s not fair,” Jace snapped when he could finally get a word in. his face was red, and he looked angrier than he had than during the whole rugby game. “Your barley knows me- “
“No but I do,” you cut him off, “Because you are all the same. And it’s a shame really cause you used to be really cool then you joined this stupid frat and started hanging around with Aegon fucking Targaryen and ditched all your friends to fuck Sara Snow,”
“I didn’t ditch you guys,”
“Im shocked you even remember us,” you snapped, and a silence fell between you both.
You turned back to your drink as Jace stewed in silence, “I didn’t mean to ditch you I just got busy and I-”
“I don’t really care what your excuse is Jace,” you cut him off as you sat your empty cup on the table, “It was fucking hurtful okay? You came to this school normal, and you turned into some Aegon Targaryen 2.0. We weren’t cool enough for you, I get it,” tears began to prick your eyes and threatened to spill but Jace just stood silently with his head hanging down. “I can’t believe I used to like you,” you said, and he suddenly looked up with his eyes wide and a confused look on his face, “Yeah, I know. Trust me to fall for the asshole. I shouldn’t have come tonight,” you said as you started to walk away.
You heard Jace say wait but instead you speed up and pulled out your phone to text Helena that you were leaving because of a sore stomach and began to walk home.
When you were halfway down the street you heard someone running behind you and glanced over your shoulder to see Jace had followed you. You tried to speed up, but he ended up in front of you, “You shouldn’t walk home alone drunk. It’s not safe,”
“Im not drunk,” you said, moving past him.
Jace only followed though, easily keeping pace with you, “Still. I don’t want you to get hurt,”
You snorted, “That’s ironic. What do you just wanna make fun of me? Is that why you were talking to me today? To laugh with your friends about it?”
“Gods you can’t think im that much of an asshole surely?” he asked but you stayed silent, “Look im sorry okay. I shouldn’t have just ditched you it was just like I- “
“You what? You started dating Sara Snow then suddenly I was invisible to you?”
Jace sighed and grabbed your shoulder, forcing you to stop walking despite your protests, “I only started dating her cause you kept rejecting me,”
This baffled you. You felt your head spinning and your whole world being flipped, “I never rejected you? You never even asked me out? What the fuck?”
“Are you serious?” Jace asked and you just shook your head confused. Jace let out a laugh and began to look around, “Oh my gods you’re an idiot,” you went to protest but he cut you off, “I was constantly flirting with you. Like the whole of first year. I got you coffee like every day,”
“Didn’t you get everyone coffee?”
“No!” Jace said and now you were both confused, “I got you coffee and always wanted to hang out and id come to your dorm all the time, but you kept inviting other people with,”
“We were studying!”
“I was trying to flirt with you!” Jace practically yelled as he flung his arms in the air, “I thought you were trying to let me down easy, so I started dating Sara to make you jealous and you didn’t care!”
The weight of it all mixed with the alcohol had hit you like a bag of bricks. “II just wanted you to be happy. I didn’t know,”
“You seriously didn’t know?” Jace had stopped yelling as well and suddenly it was as if his freshman self was standing in front of you. “And if you did know? would it have changed anything?”
It took you a long moment to answer, “I liked you too Jace. I always did. That’s why it hurt when- “
“I know,” Jace stopped you, stepping forward to hold your arms and force you to look at him, “But if you did know. if I had asked you out. Would you have said yes?”
The frat boy was completely gone now. Jace’s eyes bore into yours with a mix of sadness and hope only a puppy could have. His eyes scanned your dumbstruck face for any kind of answer. You didn’t know what to say. Instead, you leaned in without even thinking.
Your lips crashed onto his. It took a moment for Jace to realise what was happening but when he did, he was quick to catch up. His hands slid from your arms to the small of your back to hold you closer. You brought your own arms up to his shoulders holding on to keep your balance as his mouth danced with yours. You couldn’t help but shiver either from the cold or the kiss you couldn’t tell. When you finally broke apart his heavy breath fanned your face, and the heat made your skin tingle.
“I would’ve said yes,” you finally whispered back, and a smile began to tug at Jace’s lips.
He kissed your lips again, this time softer and only for a moment, “I’m sorry for- “
“Being a cocky lil shit?” you chuckled and Jace laughed this time at your insults, “I suppose you deserve to be a bit cocky,”
“Oh really?” Jace asked with a grin as he pulled you in closer, neither of you caring who could see you “Whys that?”
You hummed as your hands moved to his neck to pull his head closer to yours so you could whisper in his ear, “You’re the best kisser at this school,”
“That’s where your wrong love,” Jace corrected you as he moved his hand to your chin to pull your lips close to his so when he spoke, they brushed against yours, “I think you’re thinking of yourself,”
“You wanna have a contest?” You offered and without answering Jace closed the gap yet again. There you were shamelessly making out with the Rugby captain in the middle of the street while a bunch of frat boys started to cheer their captain on from the house. But they didn’t matter. You finally had the real Jace back.

moot game! ship your moots with an idol and give them a trope!
hihi! ^^ i didn’t put everyone because i don’t know everyone’s bias.. so mea culpa ><
@byhees with jungwon | rivals to lovers.
yizu and jungwon would both be the top of their classes, constantly competing over which one is going to be on the top of the whole school at a given semester. it’d obviously be the reason they wouldn’t stand each other— well, maybe just yizu because if you ask jungwon, he is quite fond of her actually and this is why he loves, and emphasizes on that word, to come sit next to her during her studying time. claiming that he needs to distract her (he can’t let her surpass him, can he?) but really, teasing her might be his favorite thing in the world.
@okwons with sunghoon | middle school crush (and still going strong)
and don’t get it wrong; if you ask vi about sunghoon, she’d say that she doesn’t really mind his presence and that he is a funny guy. if you ask sunghoon about vi, he’d go on a whole rant about how beautiful she keeps on getting and how he wishes he could give her the moon, and far, far beyond. he’d be so enamored by her that he’d look so stupid whenever she is near— stumbling over his every words and blushing when her shoulder slightly brushes his.. and the worst part about this is that: she doesn’t even notice! and it makes everyone go crazy.
@isoobie with heeseung | fake dating.
heeseung and ri wouldn’t that much of friends.. just seeing each others then and there at parties or at the cafeteria. he’d give her a little smile and a charming wave when he sees there, even if they don’t talk that much. and one day, when they find themselves alone in the school’s library, he’d ask her to date him and she’d go ‘huh?’ and he’d explain whatever his raison may be.. but at a moment during the whole fake dating thing, the line between reality and fake would get blurry— little unnecessary kisses there and there, a tad bit jealousy when ri talks with a guy.. i’ll let you imagine the rest.
@boyfhee with jay | neighbors to lovers.
they’d meet in such chaotic circumstances, there would be absolutely no way that they just go back to normal after that. it’d be the kind of situation where jay hears cael screaming her lungs out because of a small bugs in her apartment, she’d run out of it so hurriedly and end up in jay’s arms, who lives just infront of her and was worried sick about these screams. he’d help her, of course. and ever since then, they see each other everywhere; at the grocery store, at the gym, somehow even at work! they’d even get kissy at the club... hehe.
@hoonvrs with sung hanbin | girlboss x malewife.
saint is that strong, independent, smart, funny, cool and many more, woman that works in a office, where she is very important in and hanbin is her silly husband who makes sure to prepare dinner before she comes back home. i can see them being that one side couple in a kdrama everyone would watch just for them; because they are just so cute and funny— the audience would love to see how scared hanbin would be whenever saint is a little irritated, but at the same how soft she is with him when she annoyed.. she has a soft spot for her cutie husband.
@tyunni with riki | annoyance to lovers.
mj would not be able to stand riki in the slightest, rolling her eyes whenever he talks and scoffing when something unfortunate happens to him. her hate would be justified; he tends to get so annoying with her, pulling a strand of her hair when he sits behind her, stealing her food and holding it really high so she can’t reach it, etc.. poor girl doesn’t even know why he is all over like that but it’s just that he wants her attention, you know! of course, he’d have his redemption arc where he follows her like a puppy and obeys to her every word. the treatment she deserves!
@wonryllis with jungkook | situation (seven ver.)
jungkook would be so obsessed with her, she’d have wrapped around her finger.. for her, jungkook is a just a guy she likes to spend her time with and sometimes, okay, they kiss, but so what? for jungkook, yeonie is the only woman ever on this godforsaken planet— he’d even tend to get a bit clingy and obsessive. following her in the rain after an argument, forgetting his initial destination to follow her whenever she goes whereupon he sees her in the train. he just doesn’t know how to show her that he likes her a lot and she doesn’t make it easy either..
@alaezasmystery235 with sunoo | coworkers to lovers.
alaeza would be that cute girl at the cafe next to the faculty, and sunoo would be the new worker to this cafe— who also happens to be head over heels for her. as nice as she is, she’d help him with all his work, given the fact that he is new and doesn’t really know what he is doing, showing him how things should be done but, the thing is, sunoo wouldn’t even learn anything at all, staring at her hand as she shows him where the glasses are and watching her hair fall beautifully as she leans to look at the exposed donuts..
@euncsace with mingyu | meet cute.
they’d meet each other at the bus stop, where rim goes back home after going to the library and mingyu comes back from the gym. he’d ask her if she knows when the bus is coming and she’d say that she was about to ask him the same question. then, they’d have a little conversation about their day and what they are planning to do next. these cuties would exchange numbers before rim gets out of the bus and never leave each other alone again..
@soov with yeonjun | gym crush.
yeonjun would be that attractive man at the gym who works his biceps and and in a tank shirt and rei would be that new girl who doesn’t really know what she’d doing.. as the gentleman as he is, when he sees a damsel in distress, he’d come to her rescue and help her.. moving her by the waist so he can see the machine she’s using clearly, that only move would send butterflies in her stomach. and, yeonjun, even when he doesn’t need to, would always come help her about something— just to talk to her. let’s hope that the gym crush makes it to the outside!!
@atrirose with wonbin | tutoring au.
seiu, as smart as she is, would offer her help to wonbin, who is clearly failing is tutoring classes. they’d meet at the library or at the cafe, and have some studying sessions together. wonbin, would be far too focused on seiu’s features to even listen to what she’s saying, always answering wrong when she asks him a question but swearing that he is focused.. well, he is, but more on her lips than what is coming out of her mouth.
@seongclb with jeno | grumpy fast food employee au.
jeno would be the type of employee that says that the ice cream machine doesn’t work just because he is too lazy to use it, he’d be so unhappy to be there that it’d be written all over his face. kat would be that nice and breathtakingly beautiful girl who comes regularly and for who, jeno as a tender spot for. he’d always have a wide smile when she comes that his coworkers would make fun of... and she’d be so oblivious about it because as far as she knows, he is the nicest guy she has ever met.
end! ♡

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s a rapt knock on your door, arrogantly enough to draw you away from the paperwork you’ve been diligently doing for your… Superiors. Usually a distraction would be welcome, but in this case you know it’s no one you care to see. Letting out a quiet sigh, you fold your hands and call out regretfully for whoever to enter.
“Yes, come in!” The door opens promptly and in steps Williams… Along with another man you’ve never seen before. He’s taller, younger, and his smile is bright enough to blind you. Perhaps an aspiring new hire? Certainly no one with experience down here, no. The excitement is far too displaced. Williams marches straight up to your desk with the man, eyes wide as he gazes down at you.
“Good morning Dr._____.” You murmur a good morning back, bringing your cold coffee up to your lips for a sip. Honestly, you have so much work to do and such a tight schedule to do so. Playing Williams silly little games is always a nuisance, especially since he’s the one piling on the work. He tilts his head to the side toward the new man, an odd little smile on his face. It repulses you ever so slightly.
“I’d like to introduce you to Doctor Freeman. He transferred from this facility to another, but has decided to return after Andrews’… Unfortunate passing.” You nearly laugh out loud, something you’ll certainly have to reflect on later. Freeman extends his hand outward to you, and you shake it mindlessly. His grip is firm, nearly too tight as his hand engulfs yours.
“Dr. _____, I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s nice to finally put a face to the name.” His smile has been turning sharper by the second, eyes carefully hiding something away as they remain blank. It’s happening slowly, but with each passing minute you like him less and less. Clearing your throat, you manage to plaster on a fake smile.
“It’s nice to meet you as well. I’ll take it you’ll be filling Andrews’ position then?” He nods his head as Williams looks… Proud? Smug? You’re not quite sure. Is it possible you know this man? No, you’ve never seen him before, you’d remember the dumb way his head bobs as he nods enthusiastically.
“Correct! I’m excited to be stepping into my old shoes and taking off. I’d also like to work closely with you given the chance.” He steps impossibly closer and you feel the need to sink through the walls. There’s a sudden bang down the hall, the men ignoring it as you peer toward the door. Choosing to ignore it as well, you decidr to address the odd man.
“Closely with me…?” He hums as the banging continues, and you swear you hear a gunshot in the distance and… Screaming…? Perhaps it’s nothing to worry about. Perhaps it’s everything to worry about. The only thing you can currently worry about though is the way Freeman’s eyes nearly bug out of his head.
“Yes; I didn’t study psychology much during my schooling days but I find it quite… Interesting.” Interest is fine but his interest unsettles you wholeheartedly. Tapping your pen against the table a few times, the banging becomes louder steadily, and then stops. The three of you look toward the door, both men flinching as the loudest boom yet echoes from somewhere down the hall. You can’t even describe it; like some sort of guttural scream mixed with metal being torn.
“What was that sound…?” And then comes the screaming. The desperations echoes its way down the hall, the voices frantic enough to make you uneasy. It’s pretty clear what’s going on, but Williams just clears his throat and shrugs his shoulders like it’s nothing to worry about.
“I’m sure it’s nothing. Now, I wanted to ask you about that paperwork-“ He doesn’t get to finish his sentence before your door is ripped of its hinges and thrown into the wall, a blur flying through the room and onto Freeman. You catch a flash of silvery hair as both bodies fall to the ground and oh.
Oh. Oh no.
“Yoongi! Yoongi, hey, come on-“ You’re up and around your desk in seconds, torn between keeping your distance and trying to calm the obviously very pissed off Nightmare. It’s a fifty-fifty toss up between him going on a killing spree and coming down from his blood-lust, but you’ve got to try something. You slowly step closer, Williams distractedly taking something out of his pocket and paying no kind. There’s a rattle and so you glance up, and not one, but three of the frames on your wall fall to the floor in a crash as not a single soul disrupts them. It can’t just be a coincidence..,
Looking back quickly to Williams, you gape as pulls out a taser of all things, the oversized object clearly trying to make up for something. Stepping between him and Yoongi, eyes blazing as the Nightmare continues to snarl down at the newest Doctor with malice. Williams tries to sidestep you, but you continue to use your body as a sort of wall between them. It’s shocking that none of these absolute morons have figured out how to deescalate a situation like this. What does he think he’s going to do? Taze him and not die horribly?
“Do not.” He scoffs but turns his back, clearly not willing to risk his own precious life. It’s curious though; it’s more than he ever would have done for Andrews… Turning back and taking a step forward, you stand directly behind the Nightmare, hovering with an outstretched hand as he drags the other man off the floor. Something else moves around in the corner of your eye, crashing to the floor yet again. Still, you don’t pay mind.
“I’ll fucking rip you apart. Skin you alive, gouge your eyes out and eat your insides for a fucking snack and string the rest up on the walls. Would you like that?” He snarls his words darkly, spit flying as he chokes out Freeman. The doctor is starting to turn a shade of purple, his head cracking against the wall as Yoongi shoves him into it again. You can only begin to guess what he’s done to make Yoongi so angry in such a short amount of time. How long has he even been here?
“Please, Yoongi,-“ Finally touching his shoulder lightly, you try not to gasp in pain as a hand shoots out to grip your wrist violently. He drops the man and turns toward you, likely ready to kill, but thankfully gives pause. He stares, and you stare back quietly, eyes gentle and trying desperately to convey that it’s okay. That he’s okay.
Fully taking in his appearance, it’s obvious he’s already caused some sort of chaos. He’s covered in blood, splashes of it littering his face, some of it smudged as if he tried to rub it away. His pupils are blown, nostrils flared, but otherwise he looks like himself. Blood drips off his hand and onto your jacket, staining the perfect white a crimson red, but you don’t falter.
After comprehending just whose wrist he’s about to snap, a litany of emotions wash over his face before he settles on something grim. He looks anywhere but at you, his hand loosening and letting go slowly. Not thinking much about it, you grab his hand as he tries to draw away, his eyes snapping up towered yours, the shock there evident.
“I-Doctor I didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to.” It’s quiet. It’s apologetic. Hell, it even sounds a little desperate. You wish he could tell how important all of them have become to you, that you know that they’re people too, that they matter. You nod your head, tightening your hand ever so slightly to try and sooth any remnants of his anger as pain twinges up your wrist.
“It’s okay, it’s alright. You didn’t mean to, I know that.” He continues to nod, composure growing slightly more anxious as he hunches into himself. You understand; vulnerability in front of these assholes isn’t something he desires, and so you try not to lean into that. But, you do need to get him out of here, and quickly.
“I need you to listen to me though, okay? You’ve got to come with me so we can get you washed up.” Looking him directly in the eye, you try to tell him. Try to tell him he’ll go down there, try to tell him that you don’t want that. You don’t want him to be tortured, you don’t want him to lose himself. You don’t want him to rot.
There’s a sudden rustling of clothing, a groan from the sad mess on the floor. Yoongi lashes out relatively often but there’s always a reason. Always. So, you’re sure Freeman’s broken face is somehow justified, especially as he starts to speak.
“No, I’ve missed 061309 quite a bit. I would love for him to join us down below instead after an episode like that.” Freeman’s voice is raspy, gross, absolutely grating on your poor ears as he cuts in. Glancing down toward the floor, you try not to giggle at the poor excuse of a blob laying there. You knew you were right about him. You knew, and you’d like to know more. You’ll have to speak to Hoseok on the matter; it’s been too long away no anyway.
“Well Doctor Freeman, I don’t really care what you would love. He’s my patient, he’s staying on this floor and he’s taking a nice hot shower. Also, I would appreciate if one of you would call to have my door fixed.” Taking the Nightmare by the arm, you start to drag him toward the door unceremoniously. There’s a shuffle as Freeman stands up, his whole body covered in grime.
“I wasn’t done talking to you.” It’s hard to take him seriously with his eye nearly swollen shut, and so you don’t. Not even turning back fully to acknowledge him, you finally enter the hallway with Yoongi on your heels. He doesn’t try to run or cause chaos, apparently having no issue with following you. You’re glad he’s in his right mind to understand the consequences of doing so.
“And I was quite done talking to you. Now, if you’ll excuse us.” Ignoring that you’re leaving those two alone in your office, you lead Yoongi down the hall, dead set on getting him cleaned up. You know he doesn’t like the mess when things die down, when he has time to calm, and something tells you he wasn’t very excited about this particular massacre.
“I didn’t mean to.” It’s quiet as he whispers it out, the almost desperate tone coming back. Stopping in the middle of the hall abruptly, you turn him toward you slowly. He won’t look you in the eye, staring past you but not with a hint of malice. Keeping your hands on his arms, you allow your voice to be the gentlest it’s ever been with him; with any of them.
“I know Yoongi. There’s really nothing to apologize for, though I do appreciate the gesture immensely. I can tell you’re not fond of Freeman so lashing out isn’t an uncalled for response.” You think that perhaps mentioning Freeman wasn’t a good idea as Yoongi’s face morphs in disgust. He takes deep breaths, clearly trying to control himself but not altogether able to.
“He’s disgusting. He should rot. I should have slaughter-“ Before he can fully fall into his anger again, there’s a soft call of ‘Yoongi’ from the other end of the hall. Glancing that way, you spot Jungkook standing there and looking immensely worried, still in civilian clothes and not his usual uniform. Once he catches your eyes, he starts to jog over.
“What happened? Are you okay?” The man actually grabs Yoongi’s jaw without hesitation, softly turning his face from side to side as if to examine him. You let the Nightmare go, fully allowing for Jungkook to take over the situation. You don’t think he realizes just what a blessing he is in situations like this; the nightmare certainly would have ripped off anyone else’s hands.
“… He’s back Jungkookie. I’m sorry, I almost ripped him apart for you, I wanted to make a pretty picture but-“ Jungkook blinks owlishly, wide eyes lost for a few moments but like a snap, they harden. He doesn’t let go of Yoongi as the man nuzzles into his hands, now likely feeling safe and yet still distressed.
“Freeman is back, huh?” Jungkook directs it at you, and you nod hesitantly at his correct guess. Clearly the man had some sort of reputation around here, and clearly it’s very, very bad. But as much as you’d like ask more questions, you have to get Yoongi to the showers. Holding a hand out, you gesture that you have to keep going.
“Ah, yeah, hold on. Come on Yoon, we gotta get you cleaned up. That’s a lot of blood ba-“ He cuts off, clearing his throat as he drops his hands from the Nightmares face. Yoongi whines, whines, and grabs the other man’s hands, gripping it tightly as Jungkook starts to tug him along. You hide your silent smile well.
“Jungkook, I trust you can take care of this yourself…? I have some matters to attend to. If any issues arise please come directly to me and I’ll handle them accordingly.” You give he man a knowing look, taking a few steps back to take your leave. After your little talk with Dr. Kim a few days back, you know it’s in your best interest to check in. Jungkook looks torn for a second but gives as Yoongi practically shoves his face into his neck.
“Yeah I got this, but. Uh… I think you and I need to talk. Later?” You give a curt affirmation that that’s fine because really, you want to know what’s got one of your Nightmares in such a tizzy. So much to do, so little time… Hopefully Hoseok is faring better. You have more than a few questions for him now.
“Yes, later. Be safe you two.”

ObeGuda somewhat angsty brainrot where Guda summons Obe in a normal HGW and falls hard and fast in the span of what, two-three weeks? And since it's just normal JK Guda and not Master of A Hundred Servants, Destroyer of a Few Worlds Guda, she gains insecurities because JK Guda can't see through Obeberon's lies as well as Veteran Guda can.
Obe is VERY MUCH still very obsessed (Because neophyte or naiive, this girl is still Guda) and is generally a very mean tsundere who is more Tsun than Dere...
JK Guda who becomes more self-conscious, more paranoid about how people see her post-HGW and Oberon unsummoning because titania, titania, titania still rings in her ears despite the owner of said words being gone.
I tried my best!💪 Its really rough! But i like the concept!
-
Despite her quiet room, basked in moonlight, in darkness and faint glow from her study lamp, Ritsuka forced herself to breathe evenly. Even as her heartbeat was loud in her ears.
“Ritsuka, I heard some loud noise over there! Are you okay?” Her mom calls out, her shadow partially obscuring the hallway light that peeked from underneath her door.
“Yes! I’m sorry, I just fell asleep from studying!” As fast as she can while keeping quiet, she slips into her pajamas out of her school uniform, making sure her hair was not too windswept nor too neat to make the lie believable in case her mom barges in.
“...Alright. Just sleep early so you don’t catch up on it in class.”
As the woman’s footsteps receded as well as the light from beyond her door now void, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Entering through her window had been risky as it would reveal her location to the other Masters, but it was worth it as her mom had nearly walked in on her room which had slightly transformed into a bug's nest.
“Oberon, I told you to keep the centipedes out of my pillow.” She turned to her Servant, already hogging her bed for himself as she readied herself for bed.
It’s been… a couple of weeks since she summoned him for this weird war she suddenly got herself into and to say the least, she wants to hit him on the head constantly. He’s just so… confusing. Obviously, he’s a liar. Yet his lies seem to be two-faced too.
Sometimes he’d be sarcastic, sometimes he’d be so scornful she was a little shaken, sometimes… he’s roundabout with his words.
Even when his words were things she couldn’t fully trust though, Ritsuka learned a little later that reading him through his actions and intentions was far more useful and easier for her to understand. Not that it made him easier to really understand though.
Just as she climbed into the bed, a dark clawed hand pulled on her own, forcing her to go down and be smothered against his nape with her yelp muffling into it.
“Just get used to it, idiot.” He grumbles against the top of her head, ruffling her hair. And initially, she was repulsed by the bugs that infested her room ever since Oberon appeared and now followed her around everywhere she went, she found herself slowly becoming comfortable with them.
After all, never once did Oberon’s friends bite her. To most they did was sleep and crawl all over her, which was cute. But it made her really ticklish under her shirt.
“What if I accidentally squish them while sleeping?” She whispered, hesitantly wrapping an arm around his body as she nuzzled into his embrace. Even though he had zero body heat, she still found comfort in his arms.
There was a tired sigh that bordered on annoyance, “You’re seriously getting on my nerves.”
Before Ritsuka could even see it coming, her lips were sealed into a kiss, a pair of cold, solid lips enveloping her own. She makes a noise of surprise but nevertheless lets him do what he wants.
…She’d never admit it, but she liked it when he suddenly does things like this to her.
“...You called me ‘Titania’, when you were summoned.” Ritsuka looks at the pretty flowers growing nearby, her hand caressing small smooth locks of silver hair with pink tips from Oberon’s small form. “Why’s that?”
Despite his chibi appearance sitting like a king on her lap, he takes a big bite of her sandwich, “Really? Well, couldn’t it just be you were hearing things?”
No. Ritsuka was one hundred percent sure she heard Oberon say that to her. As if… As if he had been in awe of seeing her again, as if she had died and come back to life before his eyes only to be engulfed by the dark-insect like figure, holding onto her like a lifeline, murmuring Titania in her ears.
What was that? Why did Oberon looked like that? Seeing both as herself and someone else?
Based on the information she got from the other Masters luckily doing monologues outloud, Oberon’s class wasn’t registered in what was supposed to be only the original seven that were summoned.
Yet, in what was supposed to be Archer’s place though was a ghastly Abyssal Insect summoned in the sky that only mages and magic-sensitive beings had seen.
Oberon was summoned like that, devouring buildings, infrastructure, people as a ‘tornado’ which was described by the common residents from the other town. Although only a part of the city had been damaged, she was lucky that Lancer’s Master told her to catch the attention of the dragon-like insect before it consumed all of Japan in its rampage.
Back then, she felt his eyes zero in on her, which made him automatically stop, disappearing from the sky before appearing right before her with a pale look, murmuring a foreign name against her hair.
Looking down at Oberon, Ritsuka slipped her hands underneath him to carry him so they could stare at each other evenly.
—Innocent looking sky blue eyes meet a golden gaze that compliments a twilight sky.
…For some reason, a promise echoed into her mind. Never said before, never heard before in her entire life.
“Shall we fall into the nonexistent bottom of the Abyss together?” The Oberon in the brief flashback smiled and made her heart skip a beat.
She should find it creepy, she should be repulsed, yet… Why did she feel so flustered and overwhelmed?
As revenge, Ritsuka decides to chuck him to the sky, yelling out how stupid he was before going back inside the school before lunch period ended.

maleyanderecafe · 7 days
Note
ok so I'm on your blog a lot, and I wandered across this one manwha the other day and I think??? its got some male yandere stuff it?? like his older brother is platonically one as far as I can tell, and this other guy I'm 90% is literally stalking-him obsessed even though he bullies him at school. Honestly, it's been a pretty good read so far in my opinion, it's called "Comes in Threes"
Tumblr media
Phew, Comes in Threes is one of those BL webcomics that starts out very comedic and then punches you in the gut with drama and then everything falling apart while still maintaining the comedic tone. I was pretty caught off guard by the sudden angst that happened actually. There are two yanderes, one that is mentioned is the main character's brother and the other is one of the male leads of the story, though it's not fully known the reason for why he fell so hard for him or why he did all these horrible things to him.
The story starts off with Joon jacking off to his crush Jong-oh, before going to a meeting he's missed. There he also sees another mischievous friend of his, Seong ah-in. The story then goes into a more comedic tone, with the three of the in a group when they go on a trip, with Joon continuously pining over Jong-oh while Seong ah-in keeps butting in. During this time, Joon gets molested during the camp, though he can't seem to find out who did it. Their relationship progresses with Jong-oh inviting Joon to go gym together, though is once distraught to see Seong ah-in there as well. Eventually they study together, and Jung-oh accidentally catches Joon jacking off when trying to return and get his phone, which makes things very awkward between them. At some point, Jong-oh gets drunk and kisses Joon, and confesses his feelings to Seong ah-in, much to his dismay.
We get a backstory about why Joon dislikes Seong ah-in so much, seeing that the two were best friends during high school. He hangs around with Joon a lot, but he also seems to have a different side to him, as we see in the current day as well. We see that Jun's dad runs a restaurant that sells pig feet that Joon and his older brother help out in. He ends up bringing food to Seong ah-in's house for a delivery, noticing the marble floor that he has. Soon after though, his life goes down the drain as one scathing review about their service and finding a bug in their food causes the restaurant to get shut down, forcing Jun's father to go take a job in construction to keep his family afloat. Not soon after, Joon's father ends up in a fatal accident, forcing Joon's older brother Chan to take care of Joon. After looking at the photo of the review that indirectly caused his father's death, Joon notices that it's the same marble flooring that he say at Seong ah-in's place, directly linking it to him. He's outraged and confronts Seong ah-in about the truth, but he does not respond clearly, leading him to hitting Seong ah-in, forcing both of them to go to the principal's office. Soon after, Chang joins the army after dropping out of school to take care of Joon.
Back in the present, Seong ah-in drags Joon to an amusement park date and confesses his feeling to Joon atop the ferris wheel to which Joon rejects harshly. He ends up getting a call and runs into Jong-oh, who drives him to the hospital to see his brother, who has been injured. After this, it seems that Chang ends up quitting the military and staying with Joon to take care of him. After Chang reassures his brother that he will be okay, Joon goes to his part time job, which leads to Jong-oh confessing to him and the two of them dating. Joon ends up picking up Chang from the hospital, and we see just how overprotective and possessive Chang is with his brother, wanting to see his new boyfriend, even sleeping together in the same bed (no, not having sex, thankfully). Joon and Jong-oh get more and more close together, being all lovey dovey like a couple, at least until one of his friends asks about a similar situation where she isn't sure about where her relationship stands, with Joon realizing that his situation with Jong-oh is similar.
At some point, Seong ah-in ends up inviting Joon over to talk about what really happened with the photo, clarifying that it actually was another one of their friends who did it, even explaining that he dished out revenge for him as well. Joon is still not really happy with Seong ah in given that he still is a dick and bully him, even telling him that Jong-oh actually is in love with Seong ah-in and even raping him.
Chang gets worried that his brother doesn't return for the night and ends up calling Jong-oh, who also has no idea where he is. After meeting up with Jong-oh the next day and reassuring him (and Chang), but things suddenly turn sour when Jong-oh admits to Joon that he does have a crush on Seong ah-in, and that Seong ah-in forced him to do a lot of things like molest him in his sleep, put trash in his locker amongst other things, which he only did because he liked Jong-oh. This pisses Joon off, and leaves Jong-oh to hang out with Seong ah-in, who attempts to kiss Jong-oh, even though Seong ah-in refuses. We get to see a backstory about the two's relationship, with the two of them being childhood friends. Seong ah-in comes from a rich abusive family, and with Seong ah-in being as haughty as he was before. In one instance, he tries to get Jong-oh to steal something from his step father as revenge for him beating Seong ah-in, but Jong-oh refuses, leading to Seong ah-in getting beat. Jong-oh tries to apologize, though Seong ah-in initially refuses.
Meanwhile, Joon hangs out with his brother, still pissed at Jong-oh and we see Chang become extremely overprotective of him, trying to get him to not leave the house, to refuses to spend time with his friends and trying to break it off with Jong-oh. We get a backstory on Chang's point of view from when he first saw Joon as a baby. Initially he didn't like the idea of having another sibling, but we see him slowly warm up to him. Tragedy strikes as Joon and Chang's mother dies, causing Chang to lash out at Joon, telling him that he no longer wants to be brothers with him. After his father comes home, Chang realizes his mistake as Joon has run from home and spends a long time looking for him. Eventually he is able to find him again, which leads to him promising to always look after him. The story currently is at the point where Jong-oh has admitted that while he did like Seong ah-in, he wants to be with Joon.
I was really caught off guard by the sudden change in tone, but at the same time, there were always little hints that this was always the case, especially when it comes with Seong ah-in, who is constantly acting shady. I do like that it's able to balance between both comedy and the more dramatic/angsty parts of the story though, since that can be pretty hard to pull off. I actually quite like the backstory for Joon and Chang though, especially since a lot of it just seems like pretty unfortunate circumstances that kept piling on top of each other and that their father actually does seem like a really good dad really makes it more difficult for them when he did suddenly die. It also explains pretty well why Chang is so overprotective over Joon, even if he is going about it the wrong way.
Chang as a yandere is pretty understandable due to his backstory. He's had a pretty tragic life due to the various circumstances of losing both of his parents, and had to raise his younger brother, and we see that he clings pretty heavily onto the past when they were younger, even calling it "the best days of his life." The timing of his injury seems a little odd to me, considering after this, he simply accepts his fate of being rejected by the military without any hesitation, almost seemingly as it was planned. It makes me wonder why he chose now to come back because while I know part of it was because he was trying to provide for Joon, his severe overprotective nature makes it hard for me to believe he would willingly stay away from him for so long. Chang is kind of on the borderline of some incest stuff, even besides just sleeping with each other in the same bed, he does also touch (?) Joon's lips in a suggestive matter. I really hope that this story doesn't make Chang go the incest route though because it honestly does have a better setup as a platonic yandere. Besides being generally overprotective, he's really possessive over him, trying to get him to not spend time with his other friends, guilt tripping him by having meals together and trying to "recreate when they were younger" and in the recent chapters, very lightly trying to confine Joon to the house. Part of it does benefit Joon as... well the two other people, Seong ah-in and Jong-oh can be pretty shady, but he obviously shouldn't really be going about it this way. Still, I do like how the backstory is able to make a reasonable and understandable reason for why Chang acts this way.
Seong ah-in on the other hand is a bit more confusing as a yandere, mostly at least in the bullying aspect. To me, at least, it is a bit strange when yanderes end up bullying the person they like, unless it's either for a manipulation tactic or if it's sort of a way to release some anger about their love for them (like a reluctant yandere), but Seong ah-in seems pretty clear that he does have feelings for Joon, and says so as much in two of the scenes. Currently, it's not really clear why he made Jong-oh molest and stuff trash in Joon's locker, and also why he did try to kiss him afterwards so that Jong-oh could get his reward of getting his crush. It's probably some sort of manipulation tactic, seeing that Seong ah-in is pretty sly, even when he was younger. He does follow Joon a lot though, butting into pretty much everything when it comes with Joon and Jong-oh and even suggesting a threesome (?) between them, which I feel like is not something yanderes tend to agree to (given then loyalty to one person kind of deal). He does also give various types of gifts to Joon (going on the amusement park rides with him and in high school buying him a ton of food) and clearly teases him more than anyone else. Even taking the blame for making Joon's resteraunt close and seeking revenge for the real culprit. As a yandere, his actions are rather confusing, so I'm not really a 100% he is one, at least as of writing this ask.
Overall though, I think it's a pretty good BL series. There are some things that seem to jump out of nowhere and some general BL shinnanigans, but I think the humor and story make it very worthwhile to read.

Okay!! heres outline of the first part, or chapter of my Fnaf Human Au - williams origin
sorry for some typos and werid wording.. im bad at descriptions, ill probably edit later and add more stuff
Note- Fnaf lore is always changing bruh.. I tried to fit most of the story with what we know is canon but if i get stuff wrong and this information ages poorly….. I tried T T
TW for: 
animal abuse, abuse, suicide, murder, death, and child death. 
To begin, we should start with the origins of William Afton himself. He was born in 1943 somewhere in the United Kingdom. From day one, William has always had an obsession with death, probably because he was surrounded by it since birth (many of his male relatives were killed during the war.. Which also contributed to him having zero paternal figures or maternal- his mom and sisters were also struggling through their own depression and financial burdens) 
As he lived in a woodland area, young William would often spend his days studying the bugs on the ground and scouting for animal carcasses. He enjoyed grabbing whatever small creature he could get his hands on and basically torturing them because it gave him a sense of power he desperately lacked in his own life. As one of his now deceased brothers had been an entomologist, william had easy access to tools that he would use to dissect bugs and other animals. He especially loved targeting rabbits.  William. quickly took an interest in taxidermy, though was discouraged from bringing his hobbies within the household. As the large family continued to struggle to make ends meet, he was sent to a boarding school where he eventually cut all contact with his family. At the school, William was able to master his skills of charisma and charm. However, he felt empty inside, especially since nobody really payed him any mind as much as he had wanted them to. This place was too repetitive, too dull. He needed something new. Once william had graduated secondary school, he decided to go to college in America in hopes he’d find more opportunities. 
It’s at college where William met Henry Emily and from the moment they first met William knew there was something special about this guy. While their other peers were mostly interested in partying and “wasting their lives and money” (his words), Afton appreciated Emily’s similar intellect and they found they had a lot of things in common, especially their shared appreciation of taxidermy and the study of death. While Henry was a very smart man, Afton did notice how he lacked any real aspirations. Henry told William he thought about being a science teacher but was overall unsure of his life after college-  but Afton had bigger ideas.. Especially after reading Frankenstein - What afton really wanted to be was an entertainer, to be adored by billions for his intelligence, and he knew if he and henry banded together they would be an unstoppable team. 
Afton layed out the idea to Henry- they would develop tricks and illusions with the dead animals they taxidermied - make them really come to life again. William would never admit this outloud- but Henry’s taxidermy skills were far superior to his.. He really had a talent in making the dead look alive, he also had a great talent in puppeteering. Henry was definitely the more artistic of the two and Afton was sure this would get them attention as nobody has seen an act this before. Henry thought it was a morbid idea, but soon he was fired from his job working as a cashier for a grocery store-  money grew tighter for him and he was beginning to struggle paying off college loans, he would take any chance at making money. So the duo was formed, and with Henrys intelligence and Afton’s charisma….they failed miserably. Without the proper funding, the duos act was pathetically cheap and no average person would want to see dead animals being dangled around like cheap props. So Afton started to scam. He told customers he had the power to actually revive their dead pets but just replace them with a living animal. After four years,  Henry had second thoughts about the whole business, especially now that his girlfriend was pregnant and he was getting ready to be a father.. He had no time for these ideas anymore and the duo drifted apart. 
Eventually Afton gave up his scam too and just became an average office worker that received poor pay, working from 9-5, as well as starting his own family with the first woman who showed him any interest but he was miserable.The only real joy he got was controlling his family and making them solely dependent on him. Afton didn't really care much for his first son Michael. He was too argumentative, too stubborn and really not worth his time. His other son Evan was a crybaby but followed whatever dad said without much talk back, but it was Elizabeth he favored the most. She took no nonsense from either of her two brothers, and regularly bossed them around to enforce his strict rules. Elizabeth just wanted her dad to pay attention to her, so she worked tirelessly to be on his good side, but while she was his favorite, he barely spent any time with her just like the rest of the family. 
So i'm going to be honest - i'm not really sure how I plan Elizabeth’s death to be but she is the first child of William’s to die and the start of his spiral into insanity. All I will say is that she’s missing and I will leave her fate a mystery with a body never being recovered. What is known is that while Clara was busy with Michael and Evan, Lizzie snuck out while trying to chase down her dad as he headed over to work. She was tired of being ignored, tired of being silenced, and tired of her dad never really being around. She never got to confront him though. She could have gotten attacked by a wild animal, she could have fallen into a hole, or just had gotten lost, maybe even gotten run over by a reckless driver driving an ice cream truck… I mean I want it to kind of resemble her canon death with baby but I'm indecisive so this will be left up to interpretation…. but she was never found and was declared dead. She would have been 10 years old. (To clarify somethings in this timeline- at the time of Lizzies death, Michael was 11 and Evan was 2)
This left a horrible mark on the entire family. William spent even longer hours away from home, barely acknowledging his wife or kids - blaming them for everything while never considering his own contributions to the tragedy. After all- he practically left Clara to raise 3 children alone with little support… not even financial. Its with Elizabeth’s death that William realized he hated being a father. He hated the life he created. He never loved Clara, and he obviously took long hours at work just so he wouldn't have to confront his failures at home. At a similar time, Henry’s own wife had just died after a long battle with sickness. They both stumbled into each other at a bar while trying to drink their sorrows away and quickly rekindled their friendship. Seeing Henry sparked William's passion for fame and money once more and wanting a way to distract themselves from their pains, both men decided they wanted to open a restaurant together and worked tirelessly to achieve that goal. 
The big obstacle was finding a location. Henry and William spent years searching high and low for a building they could settle in. They also struggled to develop a marketable company. Many of their restaurants failed due to isolated location and the fact that the building was just too boring, even with Henry's artistic inputs. The men lived in a very remote part of Arizona, but then decided to travel out of state and landed in Hurricane, Utah. This is where they came across a place that would forever change the course of their lives. A place called Fredbear’s Diner.

The CQL scene where XY smugly (and dare I say, kind of hornily) watches XXC very efficiently slaughter fake fierce corpses and then smirks wider as XXC walks back and their shoulders barely brush is. Such a choice. So hot and full of tension. I'm a goner. I love CQL's direction choices so much. I wish more people focused on this aspect of their early dynamic, yes xuexiao's later emotional attachment is beautiful but THIS phase of fascination and moral friction and ambivalence and obsessive animosity is so incredibly sexy and interesting. Which is why I loved that 'care and keeping of an unexpected captive' fic.
oh absolutely, it's a real "we fucking on the murder tableau tonight" kind of moment.
I have my differences with CQL, but for the most part the decisions in Yi City, particularly the ones that make the xuexiao of it all feel even more obvious, are ones I'm pleased with. Xue Yang being horny for Xiao Xingchen killing people is particularly choice.
because he is! he absolutely is. and I agree with you, that post I made recently about how I'm not a fan of "love at first sight" but I am a fan of "obsession at first sight" is 100% Xue Yang to Xiao Xingchen (and, tbh, Xiao Xingchen to Xue Yang but he's less obvious about it). Xue Yang at this point is basically playing the "what can I get Xiao Xingchen to do, how far can I push him, heh heh heh this is very fun and entertaining" game and honestly that phase of things is what makes the later emotional attachment so juicy.
particularly because I'm pretty sure Xue Yang never consciously transitions out of that state of mind, he just sort of drifts away from it into "what can I get Xiao Xingchen to do (sexually), how can I mess with him (in significantly less sinister ways), heh heh look at me conducting my excellent sneaky revenge plot except with no determinate end date actually)"
but yeah. fascination and moral friction and ambivalence and obsessive animosity + attraction - not even in the horny sense, necessarily! more in the "I want to study you like a bug" sense, at least a little - absolutely, yes.
and I absolutely love the idea that Xiao Xingchen killing people does actively turn Xue Yang on. it's sexy on like six different levels okay, some of which are "he'd be sooooo upset if he knew what was happening right now but he doesn't and I do!!!" I think that particular brand of dramatic irony in this situation is a kink Xue Yang didn't know he had until right now.

playing x, listening to all of my music on shuffle to see if i can "find poke!ren" in random lyrics, and so far all i have in his playlist is like. the go-to lighthearted and silly tracks for multiple vns and otome games HDHVDHDB. plus one arkn.ights song that i think will be the source of his tag name + a couple tv room tracks.
dude really and truly is Just Some Guy. even moreso than r!ren, who still has A Lot Of Things to work through...
i think our deal might be that he has to travel for work, if some big new discovery has been made in another region and his lab needs samples asap, so we foster a friendship through our holo casters / phones / whatever device i decide on. that way, things build up much slower and more naturally between us, so the emotions are less overpowering and explosive (obsessive) than the other rens.
and when he IS around, it's like. meet the family! ohh they love him, he's so funny and smart, let's have him over for dinner! we walk (read: i ride my horse bug LMAO) to a local lake with my art supplies, and we spend an afternoon drawing and talking about vns and games and music and art and poke.mon and local wild mushrooms vs regionwide variants vs cross-region variants, all while our poke.mon play together or watch over us... he might skitter off if he sees an interesting spore-producing pokemon in some bushes... just being a big ol' goof.
his work is much better here than in other verses; medicine and research seems to be a HEAVY focus in the pk.mn world, and what we see of it is generally very well-presented and helpful. there are some research facilities that are Less Than Stellar. cough. but those stand in contrast to all of the ones that are doing so much good.
like i cooooould consider a "this place is a [villain group] facility and some of the field study scientists don't know...? and when things implode due to some plucky teens lol, he's taken hostage and then is A Bit Fucked once he's out" plot... but i like the idea that this guy is allowed to have less trauma in one (1) AU brjbdjdbdh. at the VERY least i dont want this to be a villain arc au.
idk. maybe some song will come up that'll change all of this. we'll see!!

Set season 5
Their room has been silent for far too long. He heard the shower go on, and then off again a few minutes later. Kate had said she was only going to jump in quickly to rinse off after her workout. She knew they had reservations for dinner. 
So, when she doesn’t make an appearance after nearly forty minutes, he goes to investigate. He cuts through his office, knocking on the door separating it and their bedroom.
“Kate?”
When no response comes, he eases the door open and is both surprised and loved by what he sees. 
His girlfriend, wrapped only in her towel, is laid out on his bed on her stomach reading a book. She must be really into it too because she doesn’t even flinch at the door opening or him crossing the room to her. 
“Kate?” He says again, reaching down to run a hand over her shoulder. 
She finally flinches and whips her head up to him. “Oh! Castle!” she gasps, looking down again. “How long have I been here?”
“A while,” he says. “Good book?”
“I was only gonna finish a chapter. I was so close last night and it’s been bugging me all day.”
“You’re not gonna get any disappointment from me. I’ve been there too,” he says, throwing up his hands in defense. 
“We have to go! I still have to get dressed! Babe, I’m so sorry,” she says, tossing the book aside and sitting up quickly, letting the towel slip a bit down her chest. Kate rushes to the closet where she’d taken to keeping some of her things. “Give me like five minutes, okay?”
“No problem,” he replies with a soft smile. While Kate was distracted, he picks up the book she’d been reading and studies it. He would never peg her as a fantasy novel fan, though now that he thinks about it, she did say she loves Lord of the Rings.
Just another layer to her onion he gets to peel back,
“Okay, ready!” Kate says, pausing to finish zipping up her boot. 
“Wow, that was fast,” he remarks. 
“I told you I just had to get dressed,” she says, rolling her eyes. 
“You’re right, I’m sorry. Let me get my coat.”
She follows him out to the front hall and takes the jacket he hands her as he puts on his own. 
“Hey, maybe at dinner you could tell me about that book that got you hooked.”
“Why, are you jealous I found a new literary obsession?”
“Not jealous. Just curious.”
“Oh, okay. Is that what the kids are calling it these days?”
“No! I’m not jealous! You looked so enthralled by that book just now, I want to know about it.”
She smiles at how flustered he is and pats his arm as they head down the hall to the elevator. “I would love to discuss books with you at dinner.”
“Okay, that was so sexy.”
“And you ruined it.”

Farscape rewatch 2x10 - My Three Crichtons
This is probably a lesser ep, objectively speaking, but one that to me presents  fascinating foreshadowing and contrasts to what Crichton has been and what he will become (as well as first plays around with multiple Crichtons in a foreshadowing of such a major part of s3.) The summary is pretty simple and traditionally scifi. Due to an alien race’s attempt to capture Crichton for its collection as it had never seen a human before and the Moyans (of course) meddling with this, Crichton is now confronted with both a ‘prehistoric’ proto-Crichton, and a so-called ‘Future Crichton’ (aka Crichton as he would have been if he would be a product of humanity’s future development). But the themes that run through the episode (not to mention the seemingly inescapable fact that no matter what, any new ‘adventure,’ even a lesser one, is just further add-on to Crichton’s issues and pain, and mess) are something that just resonate in general. Here he is, as yet another entity attempts to disassemble and study him as a lab rat:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His horrified yet unsurprised “of course” reaction is honestly heartbreaking. 
Tumblr media
The man can barely walk and all he keeps asking for is a gun. I think what hits me here on rewatch is we haven’t even gotten past first half of s2 yet, the real horrors only just started, he has so much further to go and be broken as and he is already this messed up.
Tumblr media
The way he is so different from wide-eyed Panglossian John of the start of the show...all that constant horror will do that to you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There is the fact (which is starkly true from the Premiere episode to Peacekeeper Wars) that Crichton does not need to do anything different: his very alienness in the alien world, his very fact of being is enough to mark him, put him in peril, make him wanted. The alien race collecting specimens the way Victorians collected butterflies is merely another facet of the same obsession that drives Scorpius. They might not be about wormholes (are in fact ignorant and indifferent to them) but they go by the same principle: unique is always valuable. But by his uniqueness, Crichton is not made special and favored. Instead, it’s a Mark of Cain of sorts, and he is dehumanized and objectified because of his uniqueness. Scorpius wants wormholes and John is just a bug from whom he can extract it (though later this changes into a vary acknowledgment of Crichton’s almost equal status. Scorpius elevates Crichton to ‘opponent’ from ‘experiment.’) The alien race couldn’t care if they got John or an elderly German janitor. It’s being homo sapiens that matters to them. That is one of the things I love so about Farscape. Even the seemingly one-off episodes resonate within the larger themes and arcs. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at this throwaway bitter quip - this is a man whose mind hasn’t been fully his own since at least A Human Reaction and then got rifled through like a drawer by Scorpius and as the show goes on becomes more and more something exploited and manipulated and attacked and disassembled. Volition? Control? Privacy? What’s that, says the universe. (I always found it quite precisely brutal that John is largely attacked through his mind because that is his strength; while Aeryn is through her body because that is hers.) 
To get back to something I mentioned earlier btw, this is the first ep that plays with multiple Crichtons and I want to scream into my hands, knowing how thoroughly and heartbreakingly this will get explored in s3.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But even in this ep, where it is a one-off where it is resolved, and we do have the “original” John and the distorted copies, we are left with a hell of a sting, with John confronted with the realization of how far he’s come from the man he was at the start and how far further he might fall.
Tumblr media
I love the existence of ‘pre’ and ‘post’ Crichtons, distorted John mirrors of a sort. In some ways, the symbolism is pretty obvious: pre-Crichton is kind if not super bright, and he wears John’s discarded space suit, while post-Crichton is intellectual but heartless and is dressed in PK uniform. But I think it’s a lot more complicated than that. I find it interesting that it is Chiana who ends up interacting with ‘pre’ and Aeryn with ‘post.’ Because the reaction to ‘post’ Crichton is as much about Aeryn and Aeryn’s change as it is about anything else. In part, because Crichton’s slow descent to that side of the scale is prompted so much by his love and need for Aeryn (he wouldn’t have gone to the Base etc etc in S1 if not for her. His love for her is both his destruction and his salvation), but also because it shows us her change, her thawing and humanization. If you think about it, post-Crichton is someone that PK Aeryn would have liked the most out of the versions, someone she could have related to the most: ruthless intelligence and efficiency, not a spark of heart. But this new Aeryn, while someone who would likely be impatient with pre-Crichton (because she will never lose her feeling for efficiency and razor sharpness. John wins her respect and eventually love not just because he is ‘a nice guy’ but because he is incredibly smart and functions under pressure) sees through post-Crichton as a pane of glass and does not like him in the least. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(bwahaha only Farscape would go there)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And of course, it makes sense that it is Chiana who ends up bonding with pre-Crichton, Chiana who is the most ‘childish’ of the bunch (Rygel is a lot of things in his greed, gluttony and boredom, but he is not truly childish, not ever), the most open to just expression of emotion, and who is, probably, someone who misses the slow disappearance of Crichton who helped her under the burdened, cracked shell of Crichton the way he is now. 
Tumblr media
And of course, pre-Crichton’s situation reminds her of herself when she first was aboard Moya. It’s interesting, because in a lot of ways, Chiana is harder than Aeryn, but in a lot of other ways, she is just younger. She is never about justice, but she is about personal compassion. Even Aeryn’s compassion is tempered, controlled, different. But yes, the pre and post as symbolism for what Crichton was and for where he is going. That is perhaps something that scares John the most: that he can end up as another type of Scorpius, someone unfeeling, uncaring, willing to be ruthlessly expedient. But that is the thing, he never will become such, however he teeters on the edge. He is someone who is, in this episode, refuses to take the easy way out, to close his eyes to sacrifice, to let the post-Crichton do the dirty work and to try to absent himself and excuse himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is willing to be the sacrifice, to walk into the sphere to death to save his shipmates, telling post-Crichton that if he is the future, he is glad he won’t live to see it.
Tumblr media
And the thing is, this refusal to give his humanity, his feeling of guilt and his capacity for self-sacrifice is always there no matter how hardened he becomes. Even at the end, even as he blows up a nuke in ‘We are so screwed’ that ends season 4 or with his actions in Peacekeeper Wars, he will never be post-Crichton, because no matter how mutilated, his caring and humanity remains. He is someone who will weep in Aeryn’s arms at the destruction he has wrought. His actions might change, but his basic compassion does not. Post-Crichton is yet another ‘fractured future,’ a possibility, but not something that will ultimately come to pass and I love that Farscape, for all its darkness and horrors was never about girmdark but about hope.

Chemistry Ch. 2 - Franken Stein / Reader
Summary: Much to everyone's astonishment, you and Stein get along surprisingly well.
Warnings: None. Literally just fluffy nonsense.
Tumblr media
[Masterlist]
"Let me try again! One last time, please?"
"Sure..." Honestly, it's way too early for Stein to endure anyone's voice longer than the bare minimum - but on the other hand, it was quite entertaining to see you all delighted over something so trivial. "Go ahead."
You giggled like an overly excited child as you pressed Stein's hands together, emitting soulwaves through your palms with ease.
It was a rather pleasant sensation, he had to admit.
...but with such a happy look on your face, he didn't really feel like destroying your efforts just like that.
"Now try moving them apart!" The strings you had formed to stitch his palms together were feeble and easily torn apart...
"Very good" your partner praised with a proud smile on his face, acting as if it was hard to set himself free. "You certainly have potential."
Learning this kind of skill sure wasn't easy. In fact, Stein was the only person known to be capable of using his soulwaves in this unique way - until now.
"Do you want some coffee?" you hummed, disrupting his line of thought. "I think I've stressed you enough this early in the morning, so it's the last I can do."
"Yeah, that would be nice" he mumbled, head resting on the table of the teacher's lounge as he watched you operate the coffee machine. "And don't worry about it - I like having little side studies."
Stein couldn't help but using his soul perception, the initials on your soul catching his attention once again - and he began to wonder: Don't they say Soulmates share similar abilities?
"Say, Y/N, what was the property of your weapon again?"
"Electricity" you answered as you put down the mug in front of him, hearing a quiet 'thank you' in between his usual self soliloquies. "Why?"
"Oh, nevermind. Forget it."
Mistaking the brooding with his usual morning grumpiness, you didn't really put much thought into your partner's words. "We sure make a good team, right? At first glance, no one'd ever expect us to be so similar."
"We are not even remotely alike" he retorted, absentmindedly stirring his drink. "Far away from it, even."
"I object. We are compatible in the ways that count!" You ended the topic like that as you sat down next to him, busying yourself with preparing today's lessons.
Since Death's order a whole month had passed without further incidents, so there was plenty of time for the two of you to grow accustomed to one another.
At the beginning you admittedly were still a little hesistant and unsure to what extend you could trust your unusual new partner, but Stein really went out of his way to act welcoming.
While he could certainly be a pain in the ass and liked to annoy you more often than not, he was also reliant, funny, witty - and could even be quite charming if he felt like it.
However, sometimes it was hard to conceive whether the man was being genuine, or if he was just acting to give you a false sense of security.
Spirit, knowing him best, emphasized that even though Stein certainly had a more humane side towards certain people, he was emotionally immature and unable to control the different sides of his personality...
...and that he was in fact very talented when it came to playing along with what's considered 'normal' behavior - even if you rather wouldn't want to know what's going on behind the facade.
And while Stein himself was amazed that your constant presence didn't bug him in the slightest, something about it still wasn't sitting right with him.
The small possibility of you poor thing being his Soulmate, that is.
"You done there?" Stein leaned over to see the last few tests you were currently grading - way too late, obviously, since class started in not even twenty minutes. "I can help you with that, you know."
You had been obsessed with perfecting Stein's soulwave technique lately, and had wasted a lot of time on training those past few evenings instead of doing your actual work.
"Forget it!" you wouldn't even look up from the papers, feeling irritated that you could get distracted by his stare so easily. "I've screwed up myself, so I'll get it done myself. And also: Your handwriting is awful."
"Aww, you should hear yourself." Not that he doesn't know what it's like to rather drop dead than to accept someone's help, but your stubbornnes was almost endearing. "Death's hard-working little lapdog."
"You're one to talk, you freaky douchebag!" You punched Stein's stomach softly, a few sparks of your soulwaves disappearing into thin air as soon as they touched him...
...Soulmates are also unable to harm each other with their souls, he mused.
"We should take bets whether they start making out or get at each others's throat first." The source of that aggravating voice was Sid, entering the teacher's lounge together with the others who had been in the canteen during lunch break.
"Fair enough" Stein cackled, even though you were the opposite of amused. "Don't encourage them! And also: gross."
"Hey, I consider myself quite a catch." Seems like he's enjoying the subject as long as it get's on your nerves.
"Yeah, so does Spirit" you scoffed, hearing the man whine in the background before he proved you right as he started bothering one of the other female teachers.
Out of a whim, Stein put his arm around your shoulder, jokingly declaring "Besides: This is the woman that let me operate on her without a sedative. So she's not too bad either."
You blinked up at the man, taken aback by the sudden proximity before watching your wrist. The wound was almost nonexistent now, just as he had promised back then - and you couldn't help but feel grateful.
"So that's the only way to earn your respect?" Naigus spat bitterly, walking past the man without biding him another look. "Psycho."
Maria Naigus sure was the hardest colleague to deal with - at least ever since you had been assigned to Stein, that is...
...and that mix of disdain and pity whenever she looked at you was somehow hard to bear.
Moreso, it seemed like he always drew the focus on himself, so the others would leave you alone. "If you want to find out, you know the location of my laboratory."
"Haha, maybe." Stein himself seemed completely unfazed by the constant degrading. Well, he's probably used to be the centre of negative attention either way.
Naigus chose to ignore him, rather whispering some barely audible curses under her breath as she stormed outside the room again. Sid rushed after her after uttering a half-heartedly apology on behalf of his partner.
There was a while of uncomfortable silence until soon the remaining teachers would leave for their respective classes as well, and you finally felt like you could breathe freely again.
You should've been used to this kind of treatment by now, and if not you should hurry up and do so - because this is what it's like to be associated with Stein.
"Well that was uncalled for" you said, about whom of the two you weren't sure. "Why does she have such a great problem with you?"
"Who doesn't?" he shrugged, just to be sharply poked to the chest by you. "Me, for example."
"Yeah, that's right." You felt Stein's hand petting your head, smiling at you almost innocently. "Thanks for putting up with me, Y/N."
"Oh, I- uh...it's actually fun being around you, ya know? Never get's boring at least."
There was something about whenever the two of you touched that shot pleasant tingles through your whole system, no matter how desperately tried to contain this feeling...
...and little did you know that Stein felt just the same.
You gave it your best to avoid his intense gaze, willing to do anything to change the topic before he'd notice your nervosity - only then realizing that the clock showed five past 1pm. "We should go. Class has already started."
"In that case, how about we meet after work today?" he suggested, curiosity getting the better of him as he wondered if his theory might be correct after all. "To spar a little, I mean."
Your function at Death Academy was to lead some of the weapon exclusive classes, and others which focused way more on the practical usage of one's abilities than theoretical knowledge.
And many, many times you had asked Stein to accompany you for a demonstration, which he had always politely declined. In fact, until now he had completely avoided to use your weapon form at all.
So it was no wonder his offer made you a little suspecting.
"I thought there's no need for that, since you're such a great Meister and all?" Still jittery beyond belief, you shuffled away from the man to become clear-headed again.
"It could help us getting used to each other's fighting style, though." As if a goddamn genius like him only now noticed this.
There just had to be a superior motive to his idea, yet you couldn't put your finger on what it was.
"Y/N?" Stein waved a hand in front of your face at your lack of answer. "So, what do you say?"
"Okay, okay!" You threw your hands into the air, gaining a cheeky smirk of your partner. "Fine by me. 4pm at your laboratory?"
"Can't wait, my dear."
___
The last hours of school went by incredibly fast - that's probably what enjoying your job must be like...
...and now for the rather unpleasant part.
"I honestly have no idea what awaits me at a place someone like you calls 'home'" you teased as Stein escorted you to his laboratory.
"I always found uncertainty eery exciting, don't you?"That was a lie, and you knew it. As intrigued as he was by so many things, the constant ambiguity of his own self sure had to be exhausting, if not deeply frustrating.
You were correct of course, since right now Stein was concerned for your wellbeing - or rather the consequences if you'd find out to be Soulmates after all.
As much as it being true would be a blessing for himself, it would also be a curse for you on the other end.
Staying blissfully unaware would be better than a life-long sentence written in stone, right?
But hey, in the end the two of you had to find out eventually - even if the idea itself didn't even cross your oblivious mind yet.
"...why am I not surprised" you taunted as you saw the huge patchwork building at the horizon. "You live pretty far away from...everything, don't you think?"
"I like to have my peace and quiet while working" he shrugged it off, mutely adding "and like this no one can hear the screams."
Seems lonely, you thought.
"At least we can go all out here!" Feeling a rush of motivation and adrenaline flowing through you, you stretched a little before you grabbed his wrist. "Ready?"
"Ready when you are."
In an instant, you had transformed right into Stein's hands, feeling the massive power radiating off of him now flowing through you.
And that you were supposed to channel and amplify?!
"Don't worry, I can control the output" your partner reassured you, as if able to hear your thoughts. "Also, you're a Death Scythe - and a very competent one at that. With you I shouldn't need to hold back."
"Huh, how considerate. I'll go easy on you the first time as well!" you cheered, knowing that the burden of wielding a weapon as powerful as yourself had it's limits - even for someone like him.
And indeed, there was no need to get used to each other, for the instant connection between the two of you felt as natural as nothing you had ever before experienced.
"This is incredible! Don't you think so too, Y/N?" Stein was laughing almost manically as he manoeuvred your weapon with ease, leaving you a little uneasy. "Y-Yeah...but please don't overdo it, okay?"
"Soul resonance?" Both of you suggested in unison, and in a matter of seconds you were ready for the blow. It was amazing, what sheer power you were capable to synthesize together.
Something like this shouldn't even be possible, unless...
"Shit!" The shockwave of energy following your attack could most likely even be heared far away back in the city...
...and right there, at Death Academy, two spectators had witnessed your little performance as well.
The two of you were unable to see it with your own eyes, but anyone with soul perception could've seen the initials on your respective souls brightly lighting up.
"Master Death..." Spirit was left at loss for words by the sight they both observed through Death's mirror. "I've never seen a soul resonance like this."
"Yeah, a Death Scythe in combination with the strongest Meister is immensely powerful for itself, as you already know..." Death explained calmly as the scene unfolded in front of him, "But what dimensions would their potential reach if at the same time, they'd happen to be soulmates as well?"
"How most unfortunate...or not? It could be beneficial, yet also unpredictable..." Seems like not even Death had planned for this outcome, yet an overwhelmed Spirit still felt the need to defend his former partner for some reason. "We won't know how this ends until we see it with our own eyes."
"Either way, what an incredible twist of events. I'll need you to keep an eye on those two."
"Stein!" you exclaimed as he had fallen over due to the recoil, transforming yourself back. "Are you alright?!"
"Heh, worried for me I see?" he gave you that shameless grin again, to which you'd simply pout. "Can you be serious for once? We've almost wrecked your house."
"I think it went pretty decently for the first time" he evaluated contently, looking at all the havoc the two of you wreaked in his front lawn.
"Strange man, strange hobbies, strange views..." You sighed, offering him a hand and almost losing balance yourself as you pulled the tall man up.
"I could get used to this" Stein stated quite jubilant, dwelling in the afterwaves of your soul. Time sure ran fast when together, both of you realized as you saw the moon raise over a purple sky. "Should I accompany you home?"
"No, actually-" you stopped yourself halfway through the sentence, biting your lip as you realized how stupid the idea might sound...
...just to give in to this whim anyways. "I-I'm exhausted. Do you think I could stay the night?"
"Sure, suit yourself." This time it was you supportingly putting your arm around Stein, whose back hurt a little more than he was willing to admit. "But don't complain if you get dissected."
"As long as I wake up again, why not?" you snickered and your partner couldn't help but break out in laughter as well. Maybe it would be nice to have some company for a change - if it's you at least.
"No, seriously: I trust you with my life, Stein."
Already?
"Oh, I'm honored - but I don't think I deserve that praise yet" he dismissed the compliment, yet you wouldn't give in. "Then you better hurry up and prove yourself."
Impossible, he thought. Someone as naive as yourself can't possibly be his Soulmate...
...otherwise this story would have the complete opposite of a happy ending.

oooh i wanna hear more about your haruta byrd :o !! particularly if you're feeling like there's any new developments in the coronation era thus far 👀
ohhhhh haruta my beloved haruta
idk if i've ever like. properly mentioned this in a fic before but!!! was very very close with xir grandfather– when xe was growing, xir parents worked a lot and he was semi-retired and so ended up bringing xem to the Haleakalā Observatory (where he worked!) and is how xe became obsessed with space and stuff
another thing that's very inherent to my haruta but i've never actually properly said in a fic– is so very autistic. this is like evident from the everything about xem but. bears repeating
has had a long and storied rivalry with jefferson de la cruz (astrophysicist edition) even prior to blaseball– jeff was a few years ahead of xem in grad school, haruta had to TA for him once, the rest is history
coronation era!!! i went into this era being like. haruta is in xir moving on phase and i still think that's true but also. seeing someone explode while you're at bat for the first time since your ex exploded like. two weeks after being alted is. a lot
still rotating alt ideas. was playing around with a version of haruta that never turned into a ghost but i think it might change too much for me lmao
the famous haruta justice order in the fridays lineup is so funny to me bc you could not find guys who grind each others gears more if you tried but also they're v good at batting each other in??? very much has vibes of guys who hate each other off the field but begrudgingly work together on the field and i adore it sm
wants to study annick throgmorten like a bug
ETA: is an only child and you can tell this is very important to me

Okay bestie I need a run down of what's going on in kinnporshe
Not the main two guys they seem sappy and in love but the Vegaspete guys?? Was he torturing him?? And now their dating?? What's. What's going on there please tell me
Oh boy, it's like 50 shades of 🤪🫣😰🤯 right now
I'll put it under the cut due to spoilers and all
We need to dial back to a few episodes back where my man Porsche and his bf Kinn were living their best couple life until Kinn's trashy ex Tawan (who was supposed to be dead!!) showed up. Long story short, Porsche got framed and everyone thought he was a mole when really, it was Tawan working with Vegas to screw over Kinn.
One person who thought Porsche was innocent was my man Pete (beloved). Man's like "I will go in the den of the wolf and spy on Vegas to prove Porsche's innocence". He did just that but got caught in the process by the real mole.
Vegas, who is a bit of a freak with breathtaking anger issues (I'm being sarcastic here) came home after the big showdown when things went wrong and decided to take it out on Pete.
Good times were not had by all (well, arguments could be made there...) and Vegas continued to take out his anger on Pete in various creative ways, as Pete was the only target available.
Until Vegas took it a bit too far and Pete was on death's door. Don't know what switched in Vegas' head but he started freaking out, looking after Pete and started to be nice to him? Pete, the absolute freak he is (honorary) took one look at Vegas "Red Flag" Theerapanyakul and said "I can fix him" and treated his own torturer with kindness which ????? Absolute mad lad. Also it worked lmao.
Anyways there was a shift in dynamic which has me like 👀📝
Make no mistake, Vegas is a pathetic little thing. Man's out there killing and torturing for pleasure and a whole host of other issues, but... I am obsessed with the character? Kudos to the actor because he's doing a wonderful job in portraying so many sides of Vegas, and you cannot help but be drawn to him.
But also Pete is balls to the walls insane. Man is looking (respectfully) at torture sessions while mentally taking notes. He's volunteering to go on dangerous missions knowing he'll be killed if he's found out. Cackles like a maniac before his torturer tazes his family jewels. Offers free therapy and general empathy to said torturer when he's having a bad day. Refuses food that he doesn't deem to his standards even though he's been chained to a wall for days and hasn't eaten. And so much more. I am obsessed with him as a character, I tell you. Both actors are next level, especially in the last few episodes.
Anyways, I want to study Vegas and Pete like a bug.
So yeah, right now they are tentative friends? Not sure what's going on with them really. It's odd but I want more 😂

for the Bingo oh I wonder what your thoughts on Pluto >:3c wanna enable you to talk about him ehe >:D
Tumblr media
I've done him before but since it's a new bingo and the last one was from awhile ago, I thought I would do it again.
I could have technically scratched off more of the boxes but I decided not to because that would be too many circles.
Since I don't feel like doing anything productive, I'll actually go through every single box that isn't repeated.
(Edit: Removed color coding but it was unintentional because tumblr just removed it for some reason :/ Don’t know how to add it back now so it’s stuck with just bolded text)
Everyone but me is wrong about them <3: Not enough people think about him for me to disagree with others so I can happily not check this box. I also haven't heard other people's head canons for him so I can't say whether or not they are wrong.
I'm obsessed with their character arc: What character arc :'(
They got done dirty by fans: There are some works that I've seen that make Pluto the absolute worse human being on the planet and as much as it makes me sad, it's also understandable since he doesn't get much characterization in the first place.
They got done dirty by the creators/Not enough screen time/Wasted Potential: This one is obvious and needs no explanation.
Too much screen time/Overrated: You would have to be tripping on stairs to think he had too much screen time or was overrated. Pluto has like what, less than ten fans including me and a lot of them have disappeared from the Beyblade fandom since then :(
Adoption Papers: If I could steal him and make him my OC I would.
I am constantly going insane: I mean anyone following me can see it for themselves lol
They work better as part of a dynamic: Pluto doesn't exactly have much of a "dynamic" because of how little he appears and the fact he's always in the temple. One of the headcanon/story things I like to personally add myself is the rivalry between Pluto and Dynamis. It sort of makes sense considering they are opposites in sorts of ways. I wish Beyblade did more with them.
The popular ships for them suck: I've seen only three ship pairings for Pluto and it's Johannes, Rago, and Dynamis. As you can tell, I prefer Johannes but I can see Dynamis being one as well(there were some really cute Pluto Dynamis fics on pixiv that were really wholesome). I'm not personally a fan of the Rago ship but I'm not going to freak out if someone likes it (I don't know how to feel about Pluto being with someone who can step on him like a bug :/ )
Constantly listening to songs holding them like a paint swatch: I do this with every character I'm obsessed with(mostly with my OCs only but Pluto is fancy enough to get this treatment).
I want to study them like a cockroach: He's so mysterious and unusual. Like, so many questions can be asked about him. How old is he even? Is he like every other character and has dead parents? Did he even really do that much behind the scenes of Dark Nebula and Hades Inc. or did he sit in his temple all day? I want to know.
What's wrong with them (affectionate): He's so stupid and I love him for it.
What's wrong with him (derogatory): I was about to check this one off but most of the time when I make fun of him, it's only cause I think he's the goofiest lil' guy. I couldn't actually hate him.
I would never want to meet them: I'm such a boring person irl I don't see why we would have a reason to oppose one another.
They've never done anything wrong in their life <3: He's probably done many things wrong(He's the leader of a doomsday cult) but I'm always one for villain characters so it's okay :3
My opinions would be received by most fans as akin to hitting a wasp's nest with a baseball bat: I've had a good experience in the Beyblade fandom so far and haven't encountered that many weirdos(yet) but unfortunately I have had some experiences where people were kind of rude to me about liking Pluto so unfortunately I do have to check this box. (I will clarify that the person did apologize but still. It has made me rethink how much art I really want to upload of him at times)
This is the best character in the work: I mean I love Pluto and he's my favourite character ever but is he the best character in the work? Yes and no. No because as you know he barely does anything. There are many other characters that are objectively better(imo I love Dashan, Ryutaro, and everyone in Team Dungeon)
I like them but I don't really think about them much: Yea sometimes I wish I could not think about them much but that clearly isn't the case.
I don't really have much to say about them: I have too much to say about them. I'm using every fiber in my body to not put him in literally everything.
I actively dislike them: No.
Biting and killing and maiming them and death and violence: He has already died twice. He doesn't need to die more times. I was about to jokingly check this box but it made me a bit sad so I didn't.
