#random but the video appeared on my feed again

[purerehua]

kiss cam

- noun: kiss cam; plural noun: kiss cams

a live video feed in a sports arena showing images of selected couples in the audience in the expectation that they will kiss.

pairing ⇆ zb1 kim taerae x reader

genre ⇆ fluff ; romance ; unexpected feelings ; frnds 2 lvrs ; open ending

wc ⇆ 1.1k

cw ⇆ poor representation of baseball lol, also 90% writing and 10% dialogue. sorry y'all i'm working on it. let me know if i missed any warnings!

the cheers of the crowd rung loud in your ears as everyone yelled and jumped for the third time this afternoon. you were currently attending a baseball game with your bestfriend kim taerae and you could tell he was having the time of his life. you on the other hand? not so much.

it’s not that it was boring or anything, you had your own basic understanding of baseball but you couldn’t say you had an interest in it. taerae however insisted it would be great and you would have fun, plus you guys hadn’t spent time together in a while since you both had responsibility to your college studies.

so here you were, zoning out in the crowd while your loser of a friend whooped and yelled, smiling brightly at whatever impressive thing the player just did. he settled down again, calming down and watching the game with bright and focused eyes. but as much as it was entertaining to watch him go crazy over this, you needed a break as soon as possible.

taerae’s head turned to you as you tapped his shoulder before your mouth moved to speak.

“i’ll go to the bathroom real quick, okay?”

with a nod and thumbs up from taerae, you made your way past the people in your row and found the bathroom. you took your time, using the toilet and fixing yourself in the mirror a bit. you even pulled out some oil blotting sheets and your tinted lip balm because why not? and as you finished up and were satisfied with your appearance, you made your way back to your seat beside taerae. as you settled back beside him, you realized that there was nothing going on in the field at the moment, and your eyebrows scrunched in confusion.

taerae somehow sensing your confusion started to explain.

“they’re taking a break, don't worry it’ll start back up in a few minutes.”

you let out a hum of understanding at this, and instead your eyes drifted to the big screen in the meantime. it played a variety of advertisements before the TV showed a real time camera that was pointing towards the audience. the big text in bold spelling ‘KISS CAM’ dawned on you as the camera continued to single out two random people after another. you laughed a bit, since the first few reactions were people either refusing or flat out yelling ‘THEY’RE MY SIBLING’ to the camera.

the camera finally landed on a real couple and they shared a sweet kiss to which everyone cheered at. you instinctively glanced at taerae wondering what he’d do if the camera were to land on the both of you.

just then, as your eyes drifted back to the big screen, you could see the frame focus on taerae and the girl on the other side of him, immediately you looked over at taerae beside you who’s expression went from relaxed to bewildered in a snap. he brought his hands up to communicate his reluctance, but the girl beside him perked up in a casual manner and over the noise of the crowd you were sure you heard her say that she didn’t mind.

he was floundering, his body was faced away from you and his words failed him as he tried to figure what to do.

he looked over his shoulder at you, his eyes basically screaming for help. your own eyes widened as you shrugged your shoulders, silently saying you had no idea what to do. but taerae looked so desperate, and you felt so bad from the way his fist tightly held on the edge of his shirt, the way his other hand kept coming up to adjust his glasses nervously.

so you did the only thing you could think of and the millisecond before your lips touched, you realized how bad of an idea this was.

you had spun him around, pulling him in by his shirt before planting your lips on his. he surprisingly didn’t scream bloody murder in shock, instead steadying himself by holding onto your waist and relaxing into the kiss.

it was short and sweet, you almost expected him to kiss like this. It’s not like you’ve ever wondered what kind of kisser taerae was (you totally have) but somehow the kiss felt exactly like him, and that made it quite enjoyable even if it didn’t last that long.

once you both parted, your eyes found the TV screen immediately and obviously the camera had now panned over to show you and him in place of him and that girl. people were whooping and cheering you on, even the girl that was originally supposed to do the kiss cam with taerae.

your gaze came back to focus on your best friend, who looked at you with a soft smile and admiration in his eyes. you suddenly got shy and realized that you were still holding on to his shirt so you promptly let go, smoothing it down for him and clearing your throat.

he in turn moved his hands from your waist, opting to clasp them behind his back instead. he seemed to be waiting for you to say something, as a few seconds passed of him looking at you and you pointedly avoiding eye contact with him.

seemingly realizing you weren't going to say anything, he picked up his bucket of popcorn and offered it to you with a soft smile.

"y/n, do you want some popcorn?"

you could feel the box being pushed against your fingers lightly and you finally lift your head to face taerae for the first time since the kiss. and as soon as you did it, you internally panicked.

' woah why is he looking he looking at me like that? '

you gulped and suddenly the urge to kiss him again was so strong you could vomit. looking at him again you saw a whole new perspective and were suddenly very aware of the way his hair fell, the dimple on his cheek, and the smile lines around his mouth now suddenly drove you crazy.

you politely shook your head, wringing your hands behind your back and willing yourself to focus on the game you had absolutely no interest in.

later at home, you lay on your bed in the comfort of your room silently reflecting on the days events. you think about how awkward and quiet it was when taerae drove you home.

you think about how attractive he looked driving.

suddenly your phone vibrated in your hand, and you brought it to your eye level to see a new message from the very man you were just gushing over in your head...

a/n: this work has been locked up for like two weeks and i finally decided to finish it up and post it. anyway, thanks for the love on my bf!hao texts. i might make a part two for this taerae and y/n, should i? lmk.

Techno Metropolis [BETA] Chapter 1

The end of the last class of the day marked the beginning of a new after school afternoon for Elektro.. Or just an average after school afternoon. Elektro tried to recount the few homework assignments that were due the next day as they overheard their classmates talking about some random chatter he couldn’t block out of his attention if he tried.

He pulled out his phone to check their texts from his friends, texting them to ask what homework they had, possibly out of boredom, but he wondered if tonight would be one of those nights where they could call to work on homework together. 

After they got home, Elektro relished the fact that none of his homework assignments were due the next day, and the only ones that were, he had completed in class. This left Elektro to his own devices, quite literally, as they had until he got too sleepy to stay up to do whatever he felt like, browsing their carefully curated tumblr feed filled with posts about his favorite cartoons and video games. 

As usual, Elektro soon got sucked into this, reblogging and liking nearly every post he came across, forgetting to drink their lemonade he poured for himself earlier to not forget. The usual. Eventually, he looked away from the screen of his Ipad and processed that he had a headache for a while and chugged the drink on his table. Within a minute, he began to feel better, but he remembered something else after his mind was cleared.

He wasn’t entirely sure what he remembered, but the sense of Deja-vu made him wander his eyes around his table to a piece of paper he’d used to write down a code he found off of the internet. He remembered it was related to this obscure blog that was recommended to him. It did not have many posts, but it promoted some kind of work-in-progress indie game being developed, or maybe it was some kind of platform like Roblox where you could hang out with friends but without the numerous and overwhelming predatory tactics aimed at unsuspecting kids wanting to play. 

Sometime after he found the blog, it provided a link that would launch said game/platform. It would require a code generated from an invite to play, and Elektro had previously received one from a mutual of his. They wrote down the code for him to use later, and since he was free for a while and his mom had already gone to bed, this was the perfect time to use it. 

Elektro went back to the link to the game/platform whatever it was that he had bookmarked to save. When he accessed the link, it loaded for a few seconds, and then displayed some text.

[  Welcome to New Techno Metropolis (BETA)! ] [ Please enter Invite Code for entry ] Elektro entered the code he wrote down on his paper. The code read “V1rtu4l F4nt4s7” 

[ Loading ] [ Invite Accepted!

 (you will only have to enter this again if your device is lost or broken) ] [ Use connected email to connect to save data?  -Yes  No ] [ Ok, you’re all set! Press Enter to continue ] [ Enter New Techno Metropolis (BETA) ]

The moment Elektro pressed the button to enter, he could not understand why his finger stuck to the screen, but he then felt his whole self being pulled into the screen of his Ipad, and everything around him was dark.

.  .  .  .  .

Elektro first felt the vague feeling that he was falling, like the kind of thing that you feel before you fall asleep. Elektro could feel it was dark even with his eyes closed, but he was scared to open them. He curled into himself as he continued to fall.

When he came to, he found himself on the ground.. somewhere. He slowly opened his eyes as he realized he was not in any pain, just feeling like he woke up from a dream. They remembered what happened as he saw what was around him. He was laying on a white, circular platform in a larger circular platform with others inside it. There were cyan message boards surrounding the platforms. 

“What.. in the…”

“Where.. Oh my gosh”

As Elektro got up, he observed himself and the new clothes that had appeared on him. The dark green hoodie and jeans he was wearing before were gone.

“Woah.. oh my goshhhh.. OH MY GOSH!”

“I’ve always wanted to wear something like this!!!”

He was now wearing a dark blue hoodie with a bright indigo hood and vertical stripe down the middle with white/cyan mid-length sleeves that matched his new pants of the same color. On his wrists were red bracelets and on his ankles yellow ones of a similar shape. He also had black, fingerless gloves under them and black shoes with white on the bottom and toe tip. 

“Wait, what the-”

From the back of his hoodie two long ribbons extended and flowed freely. Elektro could almost feel them moving on their own, but he felt he could control them a little himself. 

“Heheh.. That’s kinda cool..” 

“Alright uhh.. Where the heck am I?”

Elektro read the message boards in front of him.

[ Welcome to Techno Metropolis (BETA VERSION) ! [PLEASE READ]]

“Oh, there’s my stuff.”

Elektro collected his phone and Ipad from the box nearby and observed the warp device in his hand. It looked like a small remote with a stick for directional inputs that could be clicked in for a select input. Elektro clicked in the stick and it displayed the names of some areas and an option to “transform into complimentary gift”. He selected it and the warp device became functional noise-cancelling headphones that matched his outfit. 

“No way, I get noise-cancelling headphones too?? What a lifesaver!”

Elektro read the rest of the message board.

[ Note: This pocket dimension allows for excess energy usually stored in your body to manifest in different ways. It works differently for everyone, but you will likely figure out what that means soon.  ]

“Huh.”

[ Remember you can invite other people here by taking an invitation code below this message board so you can hang out with friends here! Feel free to do whatever you feel like while you’re here! Have a good time exploring Techno Metropolis (BETA VERSION) ! 

Use your warp device to enter the main area. ]

Elektro clicked into a button on his headphones that turned on the warp device and selected to go to the main area.

.  .  .  

Before they knew it, Elektro appeared in a large city-like area with large roads and tall  buildings all around. It reminded him of the tall buildings in the city they would often drive by on the trip from his dad’s house to his mom’s. The area also reminded him more of the lively city squares that made up the lobby areas of his favorite video game series. He found himself in the middle of an intersection with what looked like a few establishments. 

They looked unfinished, since some buildings were still being developed. There were two large buildings in front of him. The building on the left looked like a library, the study hall, and the other on the right was a designated art studio. There were no cars driving through the intersection, but there were some vehicles around that looked only like props that were scattered around the area. There were some more message boards scattered around that seemed to display information about the establishments there. 

Elektro wasn’t particularly interested in working on homework or drawing at the moment, so he didn’t read the message boards this time. He was in the mood for running though, and the road in front of him was the most clear of other people walking in them. 

They began sprinting ahead, getting glimpses of other people hanging out together or just chilling out in random spots, probably here to unwind from any possible harsh reality that they came from. 

He began sprinting faster because he felt like it, seeing the various buildings pass by and watching other people running through the roads too. They drifted at turns quickly, imagining himself playing mario kart, and before he knew it, he started running into and then up a building. He reached the top and flung into the air reaching a considerable height, as if he had used the building as a ramp. He watched in awe as they saw many of the buildings below him. They landed on the top of the building easily, feeling little to no pain from it. When he stood up, he processed what had just happened. Sort of.

“Woah.. what.. “

“What did I just DO?!?”

“I JUST.. I JUST SCALED A BUILDING LIKE A RAMP!”

Elektro recalled the strange remark on one of the message boards back in the lobby he first entered in. It said something about excess energy usually stored in his body to manifest in some way, MAYYBEEEE this was how?????

“Damn… And that landing didn't hurt at all. Maybe there was something on those message boards back there that I missed…”

“I do feel a bit winded though, so that’s normal. This place probably only enhances a person’s individual agility to a certain amount.”

Elektro walked over near the edge of the building as he sat cross- legged looking at the digital sky. The view was somewhat nice as the sky was a dark indigo color, and Elektro could faintly make out a light blue grid pattern that replaced the occasional stars of the light-polluted night sky. A replica of the moon was also visible, probably showing the same phase and placement it would be where Elektro came from, he thought. It was around 8:30 pm when Elektro had first entered, and the sun had already gone down by then. Not much time had passed since then, evidenced by Elektro checking the time on his phone.

He wondered when he would get to hang out with his friends here, especially with transportation completely out of the way. They could possibly all meet up at the same time if that was the case! Elektro smiled excitedly at the thought of just getting to see his friends here, especially Spectra and Razzi, since they haven’t interacted in person much since they graduated from middle school. Star though, he could see her in person at break time if they both weren’t busy, but they didn’t do much together other than that. Elektro and his friends always kept in touch through text, but it wasn’t the same as meeting up in person. Elektro hadn’t seen Razzi at all since middle school.. Should he bring something for them? What would they want to have? It probably would be ok if Elektro didn’t bring anything, but maybe he could share some oranges.. Wait, would they be ok with having oranges? Elektro knew Star was ok with sweet things and Spectra didn’t really have many food preferences, but they couldn’t remember what Razzi was ok with. Elektro was sure they told him at one point! Why did he have to forget such a potentially important detail-

Elektro noticed he was twitching his foot and beginning to pick at his fingers. He realized he did not have any fidget toys with them. They let out a sigh and muttered an annoyed “dang it.”

Elektro wished he had a piece of clay to play with so he wouldn’t have to pick at his fingers. The clay was soft and he could squish it easily without much effort, smooth it out, fold it, whatever his hands felt like. If only it didn’t get all over his fingers.. 

They could almost imagine perfectly what it would feel like to have it in his hand without it getting his hands dirty. It nearly felt as if it was really in his hands and they were playing with it.

He looked down at his hands. There was a bright green material the same color as his body exhibiting a slight glow with the exact texture of the clay he was thinking of in his hands.

“.  .  .”

“HUH?!?” 

Elektro kept playing with the material. So many new things had been happening to him since he came here that he just couldn’t resist playing with such a familiar material. This was probably what the message board meant by excess energy manifesting in different ways. The spontaneous creation of a near perfect replica of a thing so familiar to Elektro had to be unique to him. 

Elektro thought about different slimes he had played with before, and was able to shift the texture of the material to that, stretching it and squishing it further. They thought of the textures of plastic, rubber, wood, and metal, and the material changed to each one as he thought of them. 

Then he imagined a specifically solid material, and then extended the material into a narrow cylinder shape like a pen. They twiddled with it for a second, and then imagined it having the exact shape of a pen, and it conformed, now having a distinctly softer cap part with a long part on the side that stops it from rolling off a surface. 

He then turned the material into a rubber ball. He tossed it not high from his hand a couple times, and impulsively threw it at the roof of the building, bouncing it. They did this a couple times until he failed to catch it and it rolled away from him. They began to reach out to grab it but immediately it came back to his hand like a magnet. Huh.

He squished it again back into its original clay texture. That was certainly interesting. And satisfying. They continued to squish and fold the clay material. He separated the clay material into four parts. They smiled as they looked at each piece.

“I think I know just the thing to give to my friends.”

[lovethetasteofnothing]

Hello! If you can, I would like a headcanon of Task 141 with a tiktoker s/o and see them doing a dance, you know, some tiktok trends. Thank you so much! <3

my apologies for this being so late, i haven't touched tiktok for months and have no idea what trends are currently popular

the clock app vs task force 141 | price, ghost, gaz, soap

includes: captain john price; simon "ghost" riley; kyle "gaz" garrick; johnny "soap" mactavish

gn!reader, gender neutral terms of endearment

warnings: nsfw content, mentions of breeding kink (implied), brief smutty descriptions, horny jokes (it's all in price's hcs)

word count: 1k, aprox. 250 words/ character

Captain Price

is so confused every time you start recording, like what are you doing?

you were just laying in his arms and decided to film a cute little tiktok because you wanted to join in the trend with your lovely husband

you looked back at it and you knew you couldn't post it, this man had the most confused face the whole time

"youngsters these days..." before picking your phone out of your hand and demanding cuddles

you tried on multiple occasions to show him tiktoks that you found funny

he just stared blankly, trying to figure out what you found funny at them

but you show him one dad humor tiktok and he's daying laughing??

watches tiktoks over your shoulder while you cuddle him

since he won't do trends with you, you might as well do them alone

so you decided to record a very pg 13 lies tiktok trend in front of him

just to spite him

we can all agree he has a breeding kink, yes? good luck with that mating press, soldier

and because you love him so much and respect his opinion so dearly, you ask him opinions on which tiktoks you should post

doesn't see the point of this but is supportive nonetheless

you use the opposite of what he chooses, sorry pop

until you accidentally stumble across some older thirst traps you recorded

he just stares at you, makes you send them to him

for safe keeping yk

Simon "Ghost" Riley

THIS MAN REFUSES TO USE TIKTOK BUT HE WATCHES REELS

"tiktok is for kids, luv" you just stare at him in disbelief for a minute (in my mind he's like early 30s)

you tried to explain that it's almost the same thing-

pretended not to hear you and went on with his day

but oh it's no longer a kid's app when you started doing the dancing trends

literally watches you doing them from the corner of the room

"you're not posting that, are you?"

he'd probably take your phone and delete it for safety but he doesn't know how to

you also try and make him do couple trends

random stage fright where he just 🕴️and doesn't move at all

confuses you because you have seen him scold a whole group of recruits before and then bark out orders to them with no problem

but you put a little phone with some music on it in front of him and he just error 404s

god forbid you have one good attempt and put this man on the internet

you dragged him into ONE trend and the video went viral

never again, you had to turn off comments

didn't even show him because... i mean we know, you're not feeding his ego any more today

its already so high, he doesn't need to see the step on me daddy comments

he also watches tiktoks over your shoulder, tells you to slow down because you're swiping too fast and he can't read

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick

type of person to have cooking videos appear when he's hungry and can't eat (me)

also type of guy who has random facts on his fyp but he actually goes to check if they're accurate

he either sends you 20 tiktoks in five minutes or 3 in two weeks

he actually does send you good tiktoks, i'll give him that

fairly normal feed (for your standards at least)

he'd argue with people in the comments about random misinformation

does cute tiktok trends with you

makes you get all dressed up for them because he wants everyone to know what a cute partner he has

i feel like he'd have a fairly large number of followers just because he's a man in uniform-

you both giggle at the simping in his comments

kisses you while telling you you're the only one who can have him

posts you so so much because he just loves to have little memories with you in his posts

i feel like he does the different outfit trends with you

overdressed bf x overdressed partner energy

knows all of the slang, trends, sounds and references them randomly

they appear on his feed before they do on yours

randomly pulls you aside and uses those "which blank are you" filters

redoes them because he's not happy with his result, also goes into a random analysis as to why it doesn't match him

"it's just a filter, kyle" you tell him because he won't stop until he gets his favorite thing

Johnny "Soap" Mactavish

this man right here sends the wackiest tiktoks with no explanation

like you just wake up with 10 tiktoks in five different genres and one of them is a poorly edited 3d animation (iykyk)

and if you ask him he just says it's funny???

also the type of person to find random misinformation about his field of work and send it to you complaining

doesn't last long

he finds another weird video and sends it right after the rant

starts recording randomly while you're talking to him

you don't notice until he shoves the phone in your face and records you mid sentence

he loves to see you doing trends (went wild for American horror show when you did it)

this man learned the dance with you and did it better

biggest fan of you posting thrist traps

there's just something about knowing that other guys are thirsting over you but he's the only one who can have you

helps you pick the best one to post and reads the comments with you

makes you post a couple tiktok right after, his account tagged and everything

has the weirdest profile pic and username

that plank/pushup training filter that was trending a while ago?

he did it like five times to impress you, makes you watch each one and give him your opinions

doesn't post anything, lets you do the bragging

he and gaz stole your phone once and recorded like 20 tiktoks with the same sound

all of them were showing how they almost burned you guys' kitchen down

they were used as proof against them

Nerdiest rant about the thresher maw…

I know mass effect is fun video game scifi and the maw is designed as a fun mini boss, and I am not suggesting that the writers are wrong. Alien life... of course I can't know how it would work with facts. From my personal understanding of an evolutionary standpoint, the thresher maw infuriates me!

Design wise I am not very fond of it. I did enjoy the maw’s redesign in ME3 however but generally it gives off a more whimsical fantasy vibe in comparison to the more sophisticated alien designs we see in the game. But that’s not what infuriates me. 😤

The thresher maw seems to have the appearance of a centipede and it has the ability to shoot acid. This tells me that it’s an insect (the only insect I could find that shoots acid is a type of beetle) and therefore should be laying eggs. However, it doesn’t, and instead procreates by spreading its spores, like… a fungus. Even though appearance wise it clearly looks like an insectoid…. 😡

Then we read that it has the capability to burrow itself deep underground, it doesn’t need an atmosphere to survive and its diet is exclusively rocks and ores. This means that it can easily survive underground without the need to ever resurface. So I don’t understand the evolutionary benefit of being aggressive to whatever mammal passes by on the surface! 😡😡

We can assume that it could be territorial because it needs to feed a large amount of minerals and it needs to ward or kill off other maws for areas with potential nutritional value. If that were the case, again, why would it set up a fluorescent lure and subsequently waste its time surviving by waiting for mammals that it can’t even eat by being so close to the surface?! 😡😡😡

Finally, the design does not showcase any appendages that suggest earth burrowing and processing. Its acid attack feels random (I would only imagine it being useful if it were to use it to process rocks to eat it… but could it eat its own acid?) and the claw arms it has seem extremely vulnerable for an animal that spends all its life digging 😡😡😡😡

I know it’s not that deep. But it’s fun to think about ✌️😤

#sorry for being like this 😭 my true colours…

nostalgia

pairing; Sergio Ramos/luka modric

word count; 771

summary; Marcelo sends luka some old videos.

it was late at night. Luka was laying down on his bed, his phone the only light in the room. he yawned but never set out for bed. he was mindlessly scrolling through his feed when he received a text from Marcelo.

he was confused since it was 2 in the morning but he and Marce didn't talk often. mostly random good mornings and hellos but that was as far as it went.

he clicked on the notification and saw two videos followed by a message.

‘found these deep in my gallery lol’

very vague.

luka clicked on the first one, he didn't know why Marcelo would randomly send him videos but he soon found out.

the video was old. the quality was grainy and the bad audio made him cringe. but what gave it away was the two people in the video.

it was him and Sergio.

Sergio sat up on a worn couch and leaned back into the fabric. he had an arm on the back of the couch and around Luka. he had an old game controller in his hand, Luka assumed he was playing FIFA. He took in the appearance of Sergio. his features looked round and softer, his muscles were tamer and fewer tattoos littered his body.

he then looked to see himself. younger him was leaning against Sergio's side, browsing through his phone like Luka was doing not that long ago only this time he had earphones in. he took notice that his hair was longer and less styled, mostly a mess on his forehead. his skin didn't have the lines he has today, and his two front teeth poked out between video Luka's lips.

he could feel his heart swell, he didn't know why but it did. luka heard Marcelo speak from behind the camera. the video was shaky from Marcelo's unsteady hands.

“look at you two! ”

Marcelo zoomed in on both of them. Sergio looked away from his game to roll his eyes at Marcelo. he scoffed and continued playing. video Luka continued to be oblivious to his surroundings.

“how much do you want to bet that within the next hour, he falls asleep? ”

Sergio asked Marcelo pointing with his head to Luka.

Marcelo only scoffed.

“you know him way better than I think his mother knows him, I aint betting anything! ”

the video ended.

luka smiled to himself, he doesn't recall that ever happening. To be fair, he was caught up in whatever he was doing on his phone.

he felt familiar warmth spread through him.

be eagerly clicked on the next one.

it was similar to the first one, the almost identical only difference is the room was darker. Sergio stopped playing his game and was now spread out watching a . Luka could hear faint Spanish and a laughing track.

video Luka was sleeping, out cold. he was laying on Sergio's side with his head deep in the crook of Sergio's shoulder. he still had his phone in his hand and his earphones in.

Marcelo zoomed in on sleeping Luka. he chuckled to himself. Luka's mouth was open, two big front teeth poked through his lips.

Marcelo zoomed out

“he's gonna catch flies!” Marcelo commented. Sergio looked away from his show to look at Luka, he chuckled. his chest moved Luka up and down.

“I told you he'd be asleep! ” Sergio boasted. raising a lazy hand.

“yeah, yeah. I know, your right. ” Luka could tell Marcelo was rolling his eyes.

“I'm always right! ” Sergio bit back. he was slightly too loud, he caused past Luka to stir. Sergio planted a hand in his hair and shushed him.

“god, look at you two! your sickening. ”

Sergio shined a big smile. he stuck his tongue out.

“you're just jealous! ”

spin cycle 22 | jjk

pairing: jungkook x female reader

genre: drabble series, slow burn, idiots to lovers, fluff, lil bit of angst, eventual smut

summary: This random guy has started doing laundry at your favorite laundromat each week (at the same time as you, no less!) and to be honest, it’s going to be a problem. You’re just not sure how yet.

rating: 18+ for eventual smut

word count: less than 500

warnings: The Green Pajama-ish Outfit finally makes an appearance. Casual Koo™️. Define the relationship convos. Lil bit of kissing :)

notes: ALRIGHTY KIDS I HAVE MADE A DECISION ABOUT SCHEDULINGGGGGG. It’s going to be weekly! Cuffing Szn ended up being a whole four parts so each thing will post once a week (this on Mondays, Cuffs on Thursdays) until they’re done, which should be about half way through June! At that point in time, I’ll take a little break to recharge and focus on some other projects :) it’s exciting!! We’re so close to the end!! I’m so excited to share this all with you. Hope you’re having a good start to your week <3

my masterlist | my disclaimers | read on ao3

previous | series masterlist | next

When you walk into the laundromat several hours later, you’re not even sure it’s all real. You know you need to talk to him while you’re both here. It’s the perfect time to do it; there are no prying eyes or ears.

You glance at the time on your phone. 2 AM on the dot. Shortly after you’ve set your bag and basket down, you look up to see Jungkook walking in. He’s similarly laden with his bag and his laundry, but something seems different. As he comes closer, you see what’s bothering you.

His whole outfit is see-through. His whole fucking outfit is this olive green, houndstooth lace pattern that lets you see all of the skin he’s revealing beneath. You already know he wears boxer briefs for fuck’s sake; you’ve only been doing laundry at the same time as each other for what feels like months, so of course you’ve seen him carefully fold his own underwear. But like, you weren’t expecting to see just how they fit over his very muscular thighs. You weren’t expecting to see how … built he is tonight. Again, this isn’t knew information to you! Maybe it’s just this outfit. It’s just so revealing.

Ah fuck, he’s noticed you checking him out. He’s got a little weird little smirk on his face. He knows. He knows that you were without a doubt wondering what those thighs would be like wrapped around your—

“How’s your evening been?” he asks, as he slips into the seat next to yours. To your shock, he even leans over and gives you the softest, gentlest kiss on your cheek. He pulls away to start rummaging in his bag, looking for his laundry money.

Is this what you are to each other now? He did it with such ease, like it was the most natural thing in the world. When he turns back to look at you, however, you see his ears are flushed the slightest pink.

“What?”

“Nothing,” you say. “I’m just … That was nice.” You let yourself smile shyly.

Do you regret the compliment when he blinds you with his own dazzling smile? Perhaps. You’re lucky your new boyfriend is so … wait …

“So I suppose we need to have a conversation,” you say, rising to go to your customary machine to start your first load. “Define the relationship or whatever.”

“Yeah, probably,” Jungkook follows you, fiddling with his coin pouch and listening to the metal clank together. “We should get dinner. Or I can cook. We could watch a movie. Maybe make out on the couch.”

“Namjoon told me you like video games, we could—”

Your heart stops as you feel him brush against your back. Suddenly, just as you’re starting to feed quarters into the machine, you feel his arms wrap around your middle. He starts kissing the nape of your neck.

“This okay?” His voice is low and warm against your skin.

“Y-yeah, aren’t you worried about being seen though?”

Thank you for reading! Drop me an ask and tell me what you think. Find me in various places at my carrd :)

Halfway There: Run Ridge Run Race Report

Race: Run Ridge Run by Coast Mountain Trail Running

Distance: 25k, 3200ft vert

Location: Port Moody, BC

Time: 4:18:48

Goal: Don't cry, have fun - ACHIEVED

Sometimes, there's no amount of repetition that makes a challenge easier, and I'm starting to think that the Diez Vista ascent portion of RRR 25k and the DV 50k is one of those things. Having run the course twice already this winter, my trusty run buddies and I were excited to tackle it for time.... and also dreading that grinding ascent.

As any good running pod does, the three of us set out the night before for packet pick up, and a stop by Rocky Point Ice Cream for some cones before dinner in the hopes that a little treat would fortify us for the next day. After a series of road races over the past couple of months, I was itching to get back to the trails for a formal event. While the grind of an uphill slog is soul crushing, I don't think I would trade it for the nausea and occasional asthma attacks of trying to run as fast as I can down some flat pavement again any time soon. Race bibs and ice cream cones in hand, we were ready to take on whatever Saturday morning was going to bring us.

The morning was mild, and we lucked out on the rain holding off until well into the race. I had a feeling my husband was going to drop me and our other run buddy in pretty short order despite his Charlie-the-Unicorn caliber complaints that "three cheesy eggs was probably an excessive breakfast for race day", but he was still near me by the time we had dragged ourselves all the way up to the Diez Vista sign. However, the blue babbling unicorn to my pink rambling unicorn was nowhere in sight. Upon questioning, my husband reported that she'd "dropped" a while ago on the climb and then sprang off into the distance, unperturbed by the treacherous descent ahead of us and seemingly unfazed by the grueling ascent we'd just made. As I meandered along, carefully avoiding slippery spots and gingerly placing my feet to avoid sliding down deceitfully slimy rocks, I realized that 'dropped' could mean multiple things. I did not want to believe that she could have quit the race (but honestly I wouldn't have blamed her - that climb is no thoughts just vert), and vowed to wait up for her a little farther along the trail when it opened up. My relief was palpable when a familiar headband appeared in my peripheral vision, confirming the presence of my long-suffering, peer pressured companion.

Speaking of, the reason I was not at this event alone was because I had peer pressured my husband and running bestie into doing this with me, as preparation for the other race I pressured them into, the Diez Vista 50k in April. This course is essentially the front half of that race, so of course we should do it! They were probably questioning this reasoning on the way back off the ridge, but didn't voice any complaints. These are the kind of people you want to pressure into trail running with you. Absolute yes-people.

A hobby that running bestie and I have gotten into is describing our very lengthy training runs in terms of an open world video game. Being out in BC, you quickly realize that you've been dropped into an IRL Breath of the Wild type map to run around in. It starts raining sometimes. The weather shifts. You're out long enough that the daylight changes noticeably over the course of the run. There are NPCs that join you for short periods and at the aid stations that you can interact with. You're running a side quest to pick up enough trash to merit a free pair of socks at the finish line. You're snacking on health-restoring elixirs imbued with arcane energy. On this logic, you quickly devolve into letting your brain go completely feral. Thoughts enter and exit without rhyme or reason. Your internal monologue is feeding you random early 2000s YouTube video quotes and songs you haven't listened to on purpose ever in your life (I have not even once listened to Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj intentionally).

It's been years and years since I ran a race with a friend, and never a trail race. This is the cheat code. I think that with a good run buddy you could probably cover untold kilometers as long as you both were prepared to feed each other the most absurd thoughts from the depths of your meme stuffed Millenial minds. We decided that the Brightline train line in Florida was a worthy topic of conversation and speculation for a nontrivial quantity of the course. I have a feeling that my husband raced off from us is because he knows that he is the Charlie the Unicorn to our pink and blue unicorns, and that if he sticks around we will eventually tell him to put a banana in his ear. However, it was his words at the finish line that sealed the experience for me: "You two just looked like you were having so much fun when you got to the finish line. You looked so happy." After hours of running through mist shrouded forests, up and down hill after hill, dodging rocks and roots and small rivers, telling ourselves we were graceful fae princesses frolicking through our kingdom, I arrived at the finish line incredibly tired, incredibly ready to be done running, and happier than I though you could be at the end of a race. I collected my hard-earned Gary Robbins finish line hug, and the three of us grinned, dirty and tired, ready to tackle the second half of this training cycle and face the final boss - the Diez Vista 50k.

Bonus Chapter: The Juice Vendor NPC

Running Bestie and I finally peeled ourselves away from the refreshment tent to go get changed after finishing, leaving our partners to discuss whatever it is that brogrammers discuss by a fire on a gloomy beach, but were quickly arrested in our path by an older fellow beseeching us to wait as he had blueberry juice for us. I do not know how we managed to spend five minutes discussing how many samples each of us were to collect, but we left that baffling conversation with about 6 locally made juice pouches each. All this to say, you should always hit the dialog button to engage because sometimes, the merchant characters have elixirs imbued with arcane energy to give you.

Firstly I really, truly need you to understand you’re not a bad person for still enjoying the show and I am so sorry you’ve been made to feel that way.

I’m going to try and lay things out in a way that’s easy to understand:

Boycott - It can’t be boycott. ST is already getting made. Everyone is already getting paid. Nothing is stopping season 5’s release. People are being dramatic as hell and all you really can do to assist is cancel your Netflix subscription and not interact with posts on official pages (but absolutely post clips or screenshots etc same as usual for your own pages and enjoy them that way! For official accs it’s interaction levels people want to target)

You can also not buy merch, however if you receive merch as gifts from those who know that you like ST you are not a bad person for loving and keeping them!!! It’s not your money! I have to say that because I have seen others believe that, which is ridiculous. No logic to that.

“But then again there’s a literal genocide going on.” - Darling, it’s okay! It’s great that you show so much empathy, but there’s really only so much you can do. This specific situation is so dire, even things like donations as one normally would do to help have been discouraged because it’s not making it to the actual people! There’s a reason we sometimes feel helpless about it okay? You spread awareness when you feel you can, you go to protests if safe in your city, you write to any officials in your govt if safe to, you avoid giving to any brands you’re financially able to not support, and that’s kind of all right now. Recognizing your privilege in being able to step away when it feels mentally heavy is good too, but you’re still allowed to take a breather for a few days if needed. Nothing, absolutely nothing to do with your favorite show and your enjoyment of it.

The main thing:

A fandom is merely an extension of its source material, that is all fic writers, fan artists, video editors etc are doing. It is all fictional and removed from the streaming service. Nobody here is a marketing team - we all have SO much smaller influence than people think; we are not influencers, we are not promoters or journalists or review critics. Posting to your fandom feed does nothing. Posting to your personal Insta story about a new trailer? yeah that’s more promoting than sharing hype in a fandom space is.

If others can’t separate characters from actors, or are still at an immature stage where seeing someone’s face is enough to ruin their whole day and feel the need to change a character’s appearance because of it, or are unable to regulate themselves and step away and come back after cooling down instead of saying a million unnecessary things in the heat of the moment - that’s not my problem. It’s not your problem. They will try and make you think it’s your problem, what they’re saying and doing is truly morally correct (can’t be, they lack nuance in everything), that because they’re right you have to do exactly what they do - but you don’t. You can’t shut down a fandom and you shouldn’t. They can go away if they can’t separate things (and thankfully most are going away 🙏).

Nobody is pathetic or an asshole for still enjoying the show and everyone should keep an eye on the types of people who say things like that to guilt you (usually a fellow minor, mean spirited and often gets in random fights anyway, stans celebrities and isn’t used to a fandom where it’s understood fictional characters are not real people.).

Another big thing - it’s understandable to want opinions or talk things out with others, but I so discourage listening to anyone who tries to help but does so in a mean way (your gut will tell you). I say this because I saw you say the pressure of others is getting to you. Again I’m sorry, because that pressure is affecting so many people and it’s so good you broke free from that and asked instead of following blindly. So many of those people especially on tiktok will be minors and while they may know information, they don’t have a lot of experience and context to put it into and it’s all very surface level and performative. Not all of them, but definitely the one’s going for people’s throats. You’re 21 - find better sources and don’t listen to them. Step away from tiktok for a bit if you have to.

You’re not a shitty person. You’re not a shitty person. I hope you keep enjoying the show and when a wave of hate comes once filming starts or trailers drop I hope you stay strong! Try and find some people (preferably other mature adults) on tumblr or something to lean on! All love to you.

Omg anon you’re actually so fucking nice and sweet, I won’t even respond to all this I’ll respond more to your second one

Hello. I don't know what to think with the fans and P. suddenly saying he is in love with KE. You seem to have been in the fandom for a while and have a pretty objective point of view so can you tell me if he's ever been like this with any of his other girlfriends? Videos of their holidays and road trips etc? Do you think anything has changed in his behaviour?

I haven't been here for that long either Anon, at least not like others. But for the last 2.5 years I have and had rather a steep learning curve about the fandom, the different views on things. It's hard to try and figure out what is real, what is made up, what is narrative feeding confirmation bias...

He seem to have had some relationships that lasted longer, or were more serious, @outlanderfandomfollies just reblogged one of my former posts and put some links in her texts to posts she wrote in the past about them. I rather think her view on that is more complete than mine, since I wasn't here at that time to see it all happen in RT.

The last 2.5 years however, I've seen ladies come and go, he never directly posts about it, but the ladies involved posted about their whereabouts and one could easily see that there was a connection. What connection, or call it the nature of the relationship, I leave in the middle, you can't really say so from pics or videos we've found, or from what was shared by the people involved.

Some where just one time encounters, like the MC papwalk pictures, or the London video of KK (imo nothing more than a coffee date perhaps), others were a little longer. We saw AM in a video in London, and we found more of her in the Paris videos. All that footage was not posted by him or her, but found on random accounts going by tags of locations one or the other posted from. It was a one week vacation though and that was it.

The one that lasted longer was our Bunny (Gia), in Hawaii. As they got 'stuck' because of the pandemic, and he felt 'nervous to take a flight home' this lasted about 6 weeks. Before that she was seen with him on the pier in Malibu and there's enough reason to assume he took her to Big Sur. Again, besides the pier pic of both of them, no pictures together. None of them admitted being together in Hawaii. But enough evidence to put it all together.

I don't see any change in his behaviour this time Anon. He didn't admit anything, not a picture of them both. A dog in a picture he posted that has great similarity with KE's dog, and blurry videos from a concert in Las Vegas. Circumstantial, but enough to be curious about. All the rest, like someone tagging him at the Chargers game last weekend, a blogger inventing a whole scenario. People jumping to conclusions because of a follow that is in Florida where KE is originally from (and has family living there still), a snippet in a video that could either be LA or FL and posting times on SM. All that is just what the fandom tries to see, or deny depending on the differences of the narratives they believe in. Conformation bias.

Just as an example, after the AM Paris videos, people have been going on for months, predicting they'd spend Christmas together, or she would come with him to NZ, Valentine's Day would be the engagement day... you can't believe the things people come up with. Until the MC papwalk pics appeared and boom, people jumped on that ship going on and on for months to try to put them together. Even above mentioned blogger that invented a whole scenario was still on the MC ship thinking it was her she saw in the videos of the concert in LV, until the dog was spotted in the cowboy-cucumber pic. Oh and about that pic, no, I don't think SH noticed that the dog was in it and posted it for us to find out. Nobody noticed, until an Anon pointed it out to us, we all missed it.

The only thing that is different this time is, there is no confirmation about KE's whereabouts as she doesn't post on her IG. And you can say he posted less on SM as usual, being quiet at the end of July, but since he has a new roy (TT) he seems to have exchanged platforms. He's neglecting Twitter for days (which was not usual), and posted less on IG. I have to see how long his new toy lasts though, it does remind us of the Telephone number he shared after he came back from Hawaii, a number people could text him after they signed up for that service. At that time a trend he hopped on but after about 3 months he ghosted all of them that signed up.

Meanwhile S is posting about his whereabouts as he always does, most of the time not in RT. He's out of Scotland as soon as he has nothing to do there. He has his business and his business partner in LA, he combines traveling there most of the time with vacation(s) (with or without a fling or a date or whatever it is). He keeps that private (as far as you can call it private). He needs to go back, if he isn't already, to the UK soon though. Has OL filming to do, needs to record his audiobook, has to finish MiK2, and with that another book to write. MPC and his booze... well I don't see any time for a (steady) gf to be honest. And we all learned that business and work comes first in his book.

[wrecking]

 keep going “i should make a splat blog” and then every time i go to start it i realize that no one on here cares much about gameplay and map design stuff + with so little time left btwn my school starting and also the game coming out soon there’s like.  very little i feel like i can contribute i guess.  like i’ve noticed a fuckton of gameplay things but only the competitive players are really gonna care.  you know what i’m actually just gonna throw a lot of them under the cut because i don’t even feel like making a proper post about it.  read below if you’re a real #splathead and want more gameplay info i guess.  i tried to include screenshots or links to sources so please see those lol

demo stuff:

 - 26 weapons in it , presumably will have all 12 maps based on the fact it’s 12 hours long with six 2-hour, 2-map rotations*.  presumably we will see how the tri-fest maps work for half of the map roster which is great (assuming they’re random like other splatfest stuff in 2 onwards)

 - you can access the test range in the demo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please let me do this outside of the fest times

* this is a hard read based on the fact they say league rotations will be 2 hours long in the direct.  and also it matches splat 2.

weapon stuff:

 - eshop for demo confirms we’ll be getting a new shooter, roller, and charger + possibly more as post-launch content, in addition to weapon alts

 - speaking of, it seems at least gold dynamo & gold aerospray are in the base game, the latter of which uses booyah bomb in the trailer

you can miss it if you don’t look close, but it is here! (booyah bomb footage in the direct)

it’s him!

 - the wiki is wrong in that it says gold dynamo has tacticooler when it’s actually silver dynamo (and they would know that if they watched the japanese site’s gameplay footage (here’s a link to the video directly rather than to the site bc i don’t have it on hand, it has no audio) because it has direct feed gameplay which is nice)  - despite them pushing angle shooter as a replacement for point sensor, the press kit shows point sensor is BACK and on squiffer.  all the more interesting is that for some reason both jet squelcher and splattershot pro have the angle shooter, like y’all really couldn’t give one of them it ...?

press kit screenshot

i turned up the contrast on this one but it’s otherwise a direct screenshot of the weapon section so

not gonna screenshot existing weapon kits but in 1 both squiffer and (forge) pro had point sensor, in 2 both squiffer and default pro had point sensor, and now in 3 they’re... giving one of them angle marker.  alongside another long range shooter.  weird.

 - the press kit also shows autobombs (on seemingly blaster, possibly able to throw 2 in a single tank) which you could spot very briefly in the hud for tetra dualies during the tri-fest footage, and beakons (my actual enemy) back on dapple dualies again.  it also shows us rapid blaster pro which has the orange nozzle which is new to both of them for this game!

from the direct, note the autobomb sub

presskit screenshot sorry it’s lower quality than the rest

beakons... go away if they’re like they are in 2 on god

rapid blaster in 3.  note the orange.  also run octoling boy run it’s gonna get you!!!

rapid blaster pro... idk abt the orange nozzle but it’s a thing i guess

 - hydra splatling has booyah bomb, which is terrifying.  many have also pointed out glooga dualies having wall + booyah, much like kensa .52 gal 🥴 just what we needed more of

yeah it would get 11 kills huh

 - splashdown is inexplicably in the story mode, which actually tracks with how nintendo was experimenting with having seeker appear exclusively in 2′s single player.  i wonder if it’ll be in salmon run actually?

image for those too lazy to click the link

 - i still have yet to see anyone talk about how this weapon is just unrecognizable, like what is it.  (from the weapon shop section of the direct)

EDIT

thank you to @hero-octoling​ who pointed me to the fact this might actually be BLOBLOBBER.  one of the last weapons with no visual confirmation at all- consider the following evidence:

- also idk if anyone has noticed but L-3, H-3 nozzlenose, and squeezer are shown in the direct as well but exclusively as badges.  flingza roller is also here but it’s in the replay results, it has tenta missles like foil in 2.

H-3 has a new design and this person apparently sucks with it  also bonus:

hero shot replica, which i guess confirms it’ll be unlockable again.  no other hero weapons show up though.

map stuff:

 - makomart seems to be the same, in the icon shown first, the lighting was DRASTICALLY darker, but is fixed later in the direct and in promo screenshots.  weird

direct map reveal screenshot

 press release screenshot

- wahoo is also inconsistently changed in that the big curved wall near middle seems to be missing in some footage, i know it goes away in certain modes it goes away but it’s all turf war footage presumably.  also its early icon features grey metallic central walls.  it also has additional changes in the big run footage shown, such as a block leading up onto the wavy platforms near middle, the middle walls being removed, and a ramp leading into upper spawn that’s normally inaccessible during turf

the metallic walls icon

press kit screenshot

one picture of it from big run, showing a new path into spawn

 - museum d’alfonsino has changed drastically from the first trailer, which was almost an exact 1:1 of it’s splat 1 layout (sole exception being its 2 rotaries on either side near middle, which had 2 arms instead of 3 [#1 in screenshots]) - the new layout has a bunch of changed things including new uninkable areas over gaps near the middle of the map [#2], several walls have been changed to be entirely glass [#3], the spawn rotaries are completely missing [#4], and several other areas of spawn are different [#5]

splatoon 1 screenshot

early splatoon 3 footage

new splatoon 3 press release screenshot (there’s more changes i didn’t note tbh)

you can see the #2 platform a little here from the opponent’s side

 - hammerhead bridge is fundamentally unrecognizable, mahi-mahi is at least vaguely similar in middle and gimmick, but otherwise both maps have changed so much that they are new maps more or less. (not putting pics for this just go look for yourself)  - inversely of this, inkblot is so unchanged they only showed a single HQ screenshot of it, and barely ANY footage.  OH IM SORRY THERES A *SINGLE* CHANGE.  the grey rectangle you can use near middle has been changed to something closer to a cube.  that’s it.  layout wise it is otherwise identical.

splatoon 2 moment

splatoon 3... the way it is barely different

mode stuff:  - league has “special modes” which sendou thinks could mean 2v2v2v2 turf wars, which i think would be dope.  each map is presumably going to have 4 spawns possible now to accommodate for this so like come on nintendo!!!

 - rainmaker now functions seemingly as you needing to run to Any podium that isn’t the one at the end, and then the KO podium unlocks.  the footage in undertow (hudless so we can’t see how checkpoints work exactly here) shows the player skipping one, and the third not being unlocked until the player reaches the “second” one.  the hammerhead footage shows the player running the rainmaker from middle to a checkpoint at 77, and then the one that KOs at 0 opening after that.  the hud matches this.

i’m not gonna bother notarizing this, nor going over the hudless undertow spillway footage.  just go look it up it’s the “post-launch content” section of the direct.

salmon run stuff:  - there are 7 specials confirmed for it which is interesting (among the new ones are wave breaker and booyah bomb... the former of which feels weird and the latter is just funny to have in SR imo) they could also add one more- ultra stamp (edit: OR splashdown) to bring it up to a round 8.

not gonna post every pic but i’ll post these 2 just because they’re relevant and don’t get much highlight, inkjet and- the shark special that i still don’t remember the name of- are also newly added via this direct.

wave breaker

booyah bomb (also new booyah prompt)

 - you can use the scales obtained from SR to customize your work outfit which is so nice (just gonna post the images but these are both on the english site)

 - there’s also a salmon run test range lobby thing with test dummies which are cute

etc.:  - speaking of the test range thing, what is this????  i have nothing else to say abt it like what IS it.

 - changing mains means now we have chunks of every ability in the game.  i’m personally wondering if they’ve changed how the “exclusive” abilities work so that you can stack them like normal abilities & have them as subs, but idk about that.

technically this is just a demonstration yes but also they are literally showing Respawn Punisher being used as a chunk here to go into that last sub slot.  also Opening Gambit is there i guess.

ok that’s it that’s all i got.  hope u all enjoyed xxoo

I'm Not Angry Anymore

-Harry's Pov-

I was completely bored out of my mind. I had no interest in playing FIFA and I had filmed all the needed videos that week. Looking around my room, I found a ukulele discarded, collecting dust as my hobbies changed from moment to moment. I could be invested in something for weeks on end and then never pick it up again. But I figured it'd be good to see how much I remembered. Plus it could fulfill the boredom.

Slowly strumming a few chords, feeling like I was relearning how to ride a bike. Finally going through the chords C, D, G, and E minor. Pulling up the tabs for a random Paramore song, the band appearing a lot in my playlists lately.

Getting into it, Harry softly started singing, 'I'm not angry anymore. Well, sometimes I am.' Thinking of the annoyance whenever I'd tried a joke and it wouldn't work. Or when I'd attempt to add an idea for the Sidemen channels. 'I don't think badly of you. It depends on the day.' Then there was that time last week when I accidentally broke a bowl, Lux scolding me for it. I know he meant well, but I still feel bad for it; not anger but rather guilt? 'The extent of all my worthless rage, and, I'm not angry anymore.'

-Cal's Pov-

Apparently it was my turn to do the dishes. Simply a menial task that needed to be done regularly, not that I minded. It gave me time to think, not having to worry about a project's deadline or ideas for videos. Just some time to myself. Usually Lux or Bogs would join me but I assumed they were both busy. Lux being out with some friends and Harry somewhere in the flat. Once wiping my hand and drying them, I heard music playing from upstairs. Not loud enough to where I'd have to tell the person off but a comfortable, faint level. 

Walking up the stairs, I was able to hear the music more clearly. Is, is that Harold singing? The instrumental bit sounded happy but the lyrics were quite the opposite. 'I'm not bitter anymore. I'm syrupy sweet.'  Not wanting to bother him, I sat down by his door. Leaning only my head against the frame so it didn't creak. As to not give me away. I wonder what made him feel so...defeated. 'I'm syrupy sweet. I'll rot you teeth down to the core if I'm really happy.'

I didn't realize how exhausted I was until I almost let a yawn escape. Didn't know dishes could tire a person out that quickly. That and I hadn't really gotten a good night sleep, staying up until 4am to edit. Without realizing, his eyes slowly fluttered shut.

-Harry's Pov-

'Well I'm not angry. I'm not totally angry. I'm not all that angry anymore.' Letting out a soft chuckle when I heard my stomach growl. Realizing I'd forgotten to eat, I decided I should go downstairs and see if either of the Cals' were around as well as feed myself. Opening my door, I was startled when I spotted Freezy asleep on the floor. I didn't want to wake him but I didn't really have the strength to carry him to bed. Instead, I grabbed a pillow and blanket. Gently lifting his head, trying to maneuver him to a position that wouldn't hurt his neck or spine as bad. And laid the blanket across his lap. Hopefully, he wouldn't end up sleeping through the night. 

-Cal's Pov-

That bastard.

So Stationerypal was super cool and sent me a box of artist things 8) I've been really wanting to draw with alcohol markers again and that may be something I'll do this weekend.

Id also really like to make an artist christmas wish list video this weekend as well but I'm not showing my face like all the cool youtubers do it. I just want to talk about the supplies D: and I don't know how to film that.

also I caved and joined Mastodon although I SWEAR I had already signed up for it ages ago but my account is either no longer there or I've made 2. I actually kinda like the design of Mastodon but with the sheer number of social media websites I don't know how to keep everything organized. I primarily want to keep things art related but I do occassionally want to talk about my every day life. Like my husband this morning made a cup of coffee with the coffee cup upside down in his sleepy daze. I thought it was funny. I do try not to look at follower counts on my social medias because in the end they don't mean anything for me but I do notice every time I post something about my real life I lose multiple followers. Which is fine. You retain the right to keep your feed as you want but it does make you feel a sense of "oh my, guess I shouldnt post about me here" so I don't know if I should even dare post random tidbits about myself on mastodon or not....

I also keep seeing inkblot appear and reappear. I have had an inkblot since it was released for beta but I keep forgetting about it. Honestly cant figure out what my log in is on anything but my cellphone. And then weirdly enough as well I'm thinking about signing up for Furaffinity, just to have a portfolio there but not to really participate.

This is also my last week of work. Tomorrow is my last day. Next week I have to start packing.

Deeper Blues | Yandere Merman x Reader

Yandere Merman x Reader

⚠️[Warning: Yandere behavior and mindsets, general discard for civilian employees, violence, and death ]⚠️

You had been working at the Marine Magestics Company for a while now. Of course never really advancing past your position as an errand (girl/boy) you just kind of did whatever was asked. Because of that you happened to know how exactly to do everyone’s jobs so when someone got sick or oddly put out of commission you were summoned. You were almost certain some less than legal stuff went done here on an everyday basis. But what exactly were you supposed to do? If you left you’d not only lose the great pay for minimal effort but you’d also lose the ability to live without this company breathing down your neck. Plus where else are you going to get free trips to an aquarium like this.

“(Y/n)! Hey glad you could make it! I was sorried for a second that you would turn me down.”

“You're my boss, it wouldn't exactly be wise to do so.”

“Right. Anyway, here are the contracts you have to sign for this new position.”

“And paycheck?”

“Yes, yes the new paycheck. “

You bent down to a nearby crate to finish your reading and signing.

“Hey, this says a whole team ended up dying...What is the job again?”

“Ew you actually read that? Well fine just come with me, it’ll be easier to explain.”

Your boss led you past a multitude of safes and security measures before arriving at a tank big enough for an Orca surrounded by computers and testing equipment. For a moment as you neared the thick glass you saw nothing until you caught the blur of something swimming. Looking longer you eventually are able to make out what looks like a merman with teeth sharper than blades and eyes black and soulless-looking.

“This is what needs monitoring. This thing has killed off some of our best scientists with some kind of poison.”

“So you want me to take all their places.”

“Not exactly. We’re not willing to have to send another stack of millions to your family. You’ll just have to watch it. Monitor it. Feed it. Or don’t I honestly don’t care, just don’t die.”

At the same time you were given so much responsibility and yet none at all. You opted to use a shirt-gun to deliver this thing’s food. Looking over the now deceased scientist’s notes described how it was most likely a male, understood them to some degree, and had a strong dislike for the shocker. As expected they were conditioning him with electric shocks; no wonder he retaliated. You told yourself this would be your last result. In the hours of boredom where you weren’t allowed to have your phone books and random games were your entertainment. Sometimes you sat and watched him round his tank indefinitely.

“Hey, do you ever get bored of that?”

He stopped his speedy swim to turn and look at you. You perked up from your resting place. “Would you like that if I brought something?”

He continued to stare at you as if frustrated you broke the monotony of his routine. From there he slowly started back his circles around the tank.

True to your word the next day you brought a sinker, chucking it in the water. When he started trying to eat it though you realized he probably didn’t know what this was. So for a while you would try to use the devices inside to show videos of people using this toy. Sometimes he acknowledged it but usually he was too focused on whatever uses he wanted.One day though he did leave it on the only platform connected with his tank. Against your better judgement you scaled the stairs armed with only a fish. When you reached your foot to slide the toy to you, he appeared. Splashing and flashing those crazy teeth as he seemed to aim for your face. Anticipating this you smash the fish into his mouth carrying it through to push him back into the water, running back down when you had the sinker. It spooked you for a week, you couldn’t look at his curious gaze from the tank without being reminded of the sheer terror. But from time came growth and you went back up to the platform staying the furthest away and dropped the sinker once more. You turn to walk away but the splash of water on your back makes you stop. Looking at the settling water the sinker was returned. From there things got alot better.

Playing this game with varying toys and energy you found that this put you on better terms with the merman, who didn’t mind coming to the surface when you would drop a sinker or two. It became like muscle memory doing this even as you sat on the platform reading a book casually throwing the sinker. It was bliss, like having a new dog.

“I’m gonna kill it!”

The entrance of your sanctuary was brushed through by a disheveled man that had a knife. How he got past the safe you had no idea. All you knew was that this man was charging up the steps where you were sitting and the merman was hanging off of. You tried to speak to the man but all that happened was that you were lifted by the back of your shirt by this crazy man who was getting closer to the tank.

“Please! Mathew don’t!” Your boss had arrived with backup but you knew they wouldn’t make it before you got thrown in. Before you did, the man held you to his chest with one hand as he made a cut on your cheek.

“You’ll make a great sacrifice.” The force at which you were launched into the water burned the side of your face but the pain pailed in comparison as the water unpreparedly entered your lungs. Thanks to your swimming lessons you were able to cling to one of the sides of the tank. Inching along the sides you tried to ignore the splash of red that seemed to be spreading in the tank. It was a lot harder to ignore the bits of tattered clothes floating around the bloodied waters on your arms and hands; you began to panic. If those were in tatters than his flesh... You had begun to hyperventilate and let out a scream as it felt like something floating by nudged your back. Frantically you swam to the platform letting armed guards pull you out and to the hospital.

Thankfully they weren’t entirely heartless. Paid leave, paid medical bills, you were even offered to meet with the company therapists. Your boss had worriedly expressed how you’d never have to come back in again but you were both proved wrong. Apparently they had resumed testing on the merman and you were a key piece. Somehow they had gotten footage of you two playing and they figured you were their best way to go.

Seeing him again nearly made you faint he on the otherhand put his hands to the glass and the black of his eyes shrinked to the pupil of a yellow iris. He was what looked to be smiling, wagging his tail excitedly. They shoved you in a wet suit and pushed you into the water immediately triggering an even worse panic attack. Floundering helplessly the merman swims to your sinking body seeing that you can’t breath wraps his arms around you swimming to the surface, you were unconcious. When you awake you are floating in the tank with a warm hand on the small of your back. When you turn around the guards sit relentlessly calling out to you.

“They can’t reach us on this side of the tank. They can’t shock me either.”

The smooth sultry unfamiliar voice made you stop the back floating to shred water for yourself.

“You-you can talk?”

“Up until recently. Yes. My turn. What do they call you?”

“(Y/n). Yours?”

“You can call me Vain.”

—------

He’ll admit as soon as he saw you walk in and press your face to the glass he planned to eat you. You were just so much smaller than him and just out of reach doing whatever baseless things you were doing. When you continued to feed him with the gun that shot the fish he was getting irritated. He needed to eat a human and soon. It was becoming too hard to maintain his sentience, his intelligence. A trade secret of his people: the eating of a human for at least six month will result in losing the features. The only reason he lasted this long was because of his status but that wouldn’t matter if he didn’t get his hands on a human soon.

When you began your game he didn’t understand and he tried to figure it out. A sign that he wasn’t completely lost. This was great. Your human game had staved off the reversion only for a little while. When you first went to retrieve the toy and he nearly got you; he cursed himself he meant to speak but in an animal instinct opportunity to strike had appeared. From there he only meant to silently indulge in your presence so that you wouldn’t be hurt. IT almost felt if he somehow got closer to you his sanity wouldn’t escape him but with the only human left he figured he’d rather not try it. This was the best he’d felt in awhile. That is until that human came.

The entry of the insane human destroyed that peace. Hurting his new human and then trying to attack him. It was wonderfully convenient that this human was practically offering himself to be eaten. Now he’ll admit he was a little crass in devouring the corpse leaving hardly anything but he just totally deserved it. What he didn’t like was after filling his belly with the intruder he wanted to speak to you but your heart was going crazy. He wanted to hold you and show that he could talk, but the scream you let out when he went to support you. You were overwhelmed, he had read about this. So he let himself only monitor from a distance while you made your way back to the platform where the violent humans scooped you up.

He was purposefully letting his instincts run wild. You were gone and he was being poked and prodded at. He knows how the scientific method works. If he acts out enough they’ll bring you back no matter how hard you scream, they were just like that. When it finally worked you were in his arms and sleeping so peacefully. This felt right. He intended to make sure this would happen often. At least up until the Summer Solstice.

—-------

“We are relieving you of your work in this field.”

“Wait, what?”

“We’ll be moving you to work with the porpoise section. Speak a word and you know what happens.”

They shoved a box of all your things into your chest and pushed you away. They wanted to keep it subtle, escorting you out when they were authorizing a tarp to cover the tank. You went quietly, that's all you could do. Nodding at your apologetic boss who had been forced to take a back seat on intervention from the government.

Living out your days as though you’d never met Vain was kind of sad but it wasn’t awful. You could finally go to work without being triggered into another emotional breakdown.

You were paged like the rest of your coworkers, albeit last, but you figured this was some evaluation of some kind. But when you got on the call pleas of a guard asking for you to come. You were hesitant. Something wasn’t right but curiosity was an itch you just had to scratch.

When you arrived at the now opened safe and undone security doors you were almost ready to see blood pooled everywhere in some massacre-like way but you didn’t. Instead there was a man wearing a really exotic sparkling see-through suit with flowing white hair with red tips. They seemed to be packing a bag, you went up to them tapping them on the shoulder they turned around revealing glowing yellow eyed and a toothy smile.

“Hello (Y/n)! I’m so glad you could make it! We have to go soon.”

The stranger grabbed onto your wrist pulling you out the door.

“Wh-what!? Who are you?”

For a moment the man seemed to falter but recovered pulling you into their chest holding you close.

“It’s me, Vain! I know I look a little different now but-”

“Vain!? Your-you have legs! How?!”

His grip seemed to get tighter and his smile seemed forced.

“Something I didn’t tell you about me is that we have to eat humans to keep sane and sentient in general. Lucky for me I’m part of the royal family which grants me the power to switch from a tail with whatever I want. Only as long as I eat enough so-”

“Y-you ate them!?”

Suddenly there was a prick of pain in your arm and you could no longer stand up straight. Falling into the waiting arms of the merman you tried to get out your question “A-re yo-gon eat me?”

Laughing heartily he hoists you into his arm, bridal style. He kissed you on your forehead, your nose, and then your lips. You really shouldn’t have taught him what that was.

“No darling. Not you. I’ve chosen you to be my mate. I can’t wait until we get home.”

Part 2 | Maybe?

[frogtanii]

[buckle up; this one is a long one (1.6k words)]

things weren’t supposed to turn out this way.

she was supposed to show up, apologize “sincerely,” and the boys, her boys, were supposed to welcome her with open arms and swiftly discard of you.

instead, she was sitting in the back of a cramped police car with two pigs, one of which had a horrible b.o. problem and an affinity for sauerkraut.

it was so frustrating.

and, of course, it was all your fault.

you’d been blocking her from true happiness ever since the beginning when you’d first met in middle school. it was crazy because you’d actually seemed nice; kind, understanding, and you didn’t judge her for what her father did to her mother or for how she acted out because of that.

sure, you were a little weird and sometimes you could be downright rude to other kids in your class but you cared for her in a way that no one else had before.

(un)fortunately, you didn’t come alone — you were a packaged deal. your childhood friend, daishou, came into her life right along with you. she didn’t mind at first; daishou was fun when he wanted to be but he was mostly full of snarky comments and sarcastic quips.

the three of you spent all your time with each other; from playing at the playground to helping her begin her makeup youtube channel in 8th grade.

you all got along pretty well up until you got to highschool. once there, you threw yourself into your studies, sort of retracting yourself from her and daishou.

how selfish.

she couldn’t help but feel betrayed by you—you knew how bad she was at making friends and you didn’t even care, leaving her all alone to fend for herself.

well, not all by herself.

daishou was a constant. no matter where she was, or how alone she was feeling, he was there to provide entertainment at the most, and his presence at the least.

it wasn’t always the healthiest, most functional friendship, she could admit that. there were weeks that daishou would choose to ignore her for no apparent rhyme or reason, citing his explanation as he just didn’t feel like it.

obviously it sucked but he was her only friend, ever since you so cruelly abandoned them. i mean, you still ate lunch with them every day and invited them over to study and hang out, but it was not the same.

with you so absent, she grew closer and closer to daishou to the point she was spending almost every waking moment with him. and, as the story so goes, she fell for him, head over heels.

she knew it was a bad idea, if their friendship was anything to go off of but she didn’t care. she was desperate for love and physical affection and he seemed willing to at least give her the latter.

after she decided to confess, nerves all the way in her throat and a box of chocolates behind her back, daishou took her virginity in the back of his ford fusion, hard, fast and nothing like she’d imagined.

the next day, she’d cornered you in the library (where you always seemed to be) to tell you the good news. your face was unusually blank as she detailed the best night of her life to you, your response being less than stellar when she was done. “please be careful,” you had said.

what did that even mean? you clearly wanted to keep daishou safe from her which was ridiculous because weren’t you supposed to be her friend too? she’d stormed out of the library after that, determined to demand a kiss from daishou to make her feel better.

that day was one of the last that she’d see you for a while. you got caught up with clubs and schoolwork (and apparently therapy for god knows what) while she got caught up with daishou.

things with him weren’t... great. they never really were but things were getting even worse. his random bouts of silence got longer and though it was only freshman year and they’d been dating for less than 5 months, he’d meet with her after school with a hickey plastered on his collarbone that she knew she didn’t put there (she sucked even harder over the spot to claim it as her own).

as she said, things weren’t great but they weren’t horrible either. they remained that way all the way up until sophomore year.

you and her had drifted even further, hardly speaking to one another unless it was for a project or to vaguely greet one another in the halls. it was okay though. you had all your other friends and she... well she had daishou.

speaking of, her “boyfriend” had been more distant than usual. she wasn’t an idiot and she knew he’d been seeing other girls on the side, but she believed she would be the one he’d end up with, the one he’d marry.

how foolish she had been.

it was prom night and she felt beautiful. her beauty channel had finally begun picking up traction (she’d just hit 13k subscribers the night before!!) so she filmed a prom night makeup tutorial, making sure that every square inch of her face was perfect. donning a silky blue floor length dress, she felt like a princess and she certainly looked the part.

she showed up to daishou’s house about 30 minutes before the event, ringing his doorbell with an elated grin painted all over her face. he had mentioned in passing that his parents and older sister would be out for the weekend, leaving the house for themselves. that meant sex and sex meant being wanted.

after the third ring of the bell, she started to get nervous. maybe he wasn’t ready yet? maybe he needed help with his tie? just when she was about to wring the bell again, the door swung open to reveal daishou... not in his suit.

“oh, it’s you,” he’d grumbled. “‘m not goin’ to prom.” she felt her breath catch in her throat. she’d protested and begged for an explanation but he wouldn’t give one to her. eventually, she’d followed him into his house, furious because how could he do this to her? on her night?

it didn’t take very long for him to get fed up, his snake-like eyes honing in on her, filled with venom. “‘m not goin’ because i don’t like you anymore. you still look pretty though.”

just like that, with just a few words, he’d shattered her heart. she was frozen in place, completely disconnected from daishou, her love, as he not-so-gently pushed her out the door, slamming it in her face.

she felt tears stream down her cheeks and before she knew it, her legs were carrying her to a place she hadn’t been in months.

banging frantically on the door, she cried out, begging for someone, anyone to hear her. the door opened quickly and there you stood. you’d clearly been studying but as you took in her frazzled appearance, it seemed as though your heart broke.

you ushered her inside, sat her own the couch, and began to make her a cup of tea, your parents having been out for the night as well. once the kettle went off, you quickly prepped her drink and gave it to her, the words flowing out of her like liquid once she had taken a sip.

she didn’t know why she was even there but despite the animosity between the two of you, you seemed like you truly... cared. (neither of you mentioned the tears that stained your favorite t shirt or the quiet apologies you muttered into her hair).

that night quickly went and passed and by the next day, she was feeling rejuvenated and more like herself. however, that feeling quickly dissipated when she caught you in the hallway between classes speaking with daishou behind the stairwell in hushed tones.

within the span of a few hours, her heart had been broken twice and she was sure she’d never felt such heartache before.

she turned on her heel and darted away, avoiding your every attempt to talk to her for weeks and weeks until you just... stopped trying. after you’d cut off conversation, yet again, the sadness quickly festered and morphed into anger.

that anger only grew when she watched you graduate at the top of your class in your senior year, your smile blinding as you accepted your diploma. it only grew when she saw that you had made it into the university of your choice on your instagram story, her own rejection letter torn up in the bottom of her wastebin. it only grew when she saw you’d made your own youtube channel, her own going untouched and neglected (her last video had been a half-assed “get ready with me” that had more dislikes than likes due to her horrible makeup and even worse attitude).

soon enough, the rage had intensified until it had taken over her whole being. she was just so angry at all that you’d done to her, all the ways you’d ruined her life that she couldn’t keep herself from plotting your demise.

when she got the email from the hyper house management team that invited her into the house and offered the option that she could pick someone she wanted to move in as well, her anger turned into excitement.

this was her chance. this was her moment to turn your life into a living hell, to make it at least a fraction of what she went through by your hands.

she was going to make you pay and god, was it going to feel great.

the metal of the handcuffs chafed her wrists as she adjusted herself against the cool leather of the cruiser, the discomfort removing her from her reverie.

yeah, right. it seemed as though she was the only one “paying” right about now.

she tilted her head back to stare at the ceiling, tears filling her eyes but refusing to fall.

things definitely weren’t meant to turn out like this. not at all.

That time you and your demon boyfriend went viral

hi yes hello obey me fandom!! my name is Gabbi and i have never played a single second of the actual game but i have read enough fanon content for the past year to have this idea swimming around in my head and now i am finally letting this accursed thing out of my brain and putting it in yours

also i’m only doing the brothers because any more than that and i’d have an aneurysm probably. oh and shoutout to @obeythebutler and @beels-burger-babe for inspiring me with their works to feel brave enough to write for this fandom

Lucifer:

You and Lucifer go viral on Asmo’s Devilgram story!

You’re in the kitchen helping Asmo with dinner duty and singing along to one of your playlists of human realm music that you like to show him.

Asmo starts filming your cute little dance while you stir the pot on the stove because you are just adorable!

About ten seconds into him filming, Lucifer appears in the doorway with quite the stern look on his face. You know, the one that comes right before a “MAMMOOOOOON” and strikes fear into the heart of all those with functioning eardrums. That one.

He opens his mouth, presumably to tell y’all to shut the fuck up, but then there’s a lull in the music and the eldest can hear your voice ever so slightly above the song’s vocalist and he freezes.

Man stops in his tracks like someone just smacked him in the face with a midair volleyball.

Asmo can be heard stifling a laugh behind his phone.

Lucifer’s face gets so soft and he almost, almost, loosens his metal-rod-through-the-ass posture before you notice him and give a little wave and ask if you and Asmo were being too loud like the considerate darling you are.

Lucifer clears and his throat and says something like, “No, you aren’t. I was just coming to check on how dinner is coming along,” and leaves, after which Asmo immediately presses the post button.

Screenshots of Lucifer’s heart eyes for you go absolutely viral because every demon on Devilgram goes absolutely feral for seeing the eldest demon brother lose his dignified composure. It becomes a meme template. “Get you someone who looks at you like Lucifer looks at MC” and “me at the delivery demon when he shows up with my spicy bat wings” posts become commonplace. (Asmo thinks the memes are totally worth getting strung up with Mammon for laughing at them.)

Mammon:

Much like Lucifer, you and Mammon end up going viral off Asmo’s Devilgram. (Noticing a pattern here?) 

He pulls a silly prank on your asses and honestly I don’t know how you fell for it. But hey, they say “idiots in love” for a reason, so...

You and Asmo are sitting in the common room of the House of Lamentation just chillin. Well, he’s chillin, you’re on the floor studying for an upcoming exam.

The video starts in the middle of a conversation you and the avatar of lust were having.

“No, Asmo,” you say. “Mammon and I don’t use pet names for each other.” Now that’s just a darn lie, and every demon and crow within ten miles of Mammon and you together knows it.

“Really? I find that very hard to believe, MC.~” 

You sigh in response to Asmo’s teasing. “Okay, he has a lot for me but I’m just not much of a pet name person, y’know?” The rest of the exchange goes like this:

“Oh, I totally get it.” *pause* “Hey MC, what do human world bees make again?”

“Honey.”

Cue a sheepish Mammon sticking his head in the doorway at the bluntness of your tone when you answered Asmo.

“Yeah, babe?” he looks like a puppy left on the side of a highway oh my god hUG HIM-

Asmo turns the camera back to his smug ass face and in the background you can be heard tripping on the damn carpet trying to get up and hug your mans. (”MAMMON GET OVER HERE SO I CAN HUG YOU” “W-WHAT? I THOUGHT YA WERE MAD AT ME?!?!?!?!”)

Leviathan:

Streamer Levi? Streamer Levi.

You guys go viral the first time you make an appearance on one of Levi’s weekly (insert cool Devildom streaming service name here) streams. 

It’s completely unintentional. You had been asking him for weeks to play with him on there, but he’s the avatar of envy after all. He doesn’t like sharing his partner, even if it’s with random strangers who have no real access to you.

However, he has his stream on a Thursday instead of a Friday one week, and you come into his room carrying dinner because 1) You didn’t realize he was streaming and 2) No matter what he was doing, the boy needed to eat. It wasn’t unusual for you to bring him dinner, so you had no idea why he was blushing and stammering even more than usual this time in particular. Boy was speaking in beached whale trying to tell you what was wrong.

Then you notice his screen. Oh! “Hi chat!” You wave, setting Levi’s food down on his desk in front of his keyboard. “M-MC!” He full-on whines, slamming a hand over his mouth afterwards when he remembers his viewers could hear that.

Honestly, they’d meme the fuck out of him if it weren’t for the fact that they are FINALLY SEEING HIS HENRY!!! THE MYSTERIOUS MC!!!

Chat is bombarding you with questions while you make Levi eat dinner. And by make him eat dinner, I mean literally feeding this man forkfuls/spoonfuls while he games because you love how flustered he gets when you do that. 

Does it impact his score? Absolutely. Does he care? Not really when you’re pampering him like that.

You start answering chat’s questions about you while he’s chewing so he can’t tell you to stop LMAO-

You’re a natural on stream. The VOD becomes the most popular on Levi’s account in a matter of hours and soon cute highlights compilations of you and him on that stream start making the rounds on Devildom Twitter.

Satan:

There was buildup to Satan going viral, similar to Levi in a way. 

Satan does have a Devilgram, but it’s basically a white woman’s Instagram with added book reviews for variety. Unless you’re a reader his account is pretty boring: candles, books, fireplaces, and cats.

However, after you two started reading together fairly often he began posting pictures of your legs draped over his while you sat together. They’d always be captioned with vague ass pretentious literary criticism. 

This goes on for months, and he gains a lot of (horny) followers after the leg pics start up. He doesn’t really get why but you both joke that it’s because you have some damn nice legs and I mean neither of you are complaining about the new following.

You two go viral when he finally shows your face, entirely by accident.

The post is a video, which is already strange for him and grabs attention. In it, you’re scoffing and reading an excerpt of a book, mocking its understanding of female anatomy.

“I’m quoting here, Satan: ‘her breasts bouncing around like giant pacmen.’ I’M SORRY?? THAT ISN’T HOW BOOBS WORK SIR. WHY ARE MEN ALLOWED TO WRITE?” 

(fun fact that is a very real quote from a very real book I really read last month pls save me)

Originally the camera is focused on your body, with your head out of frame to protect your privacy, but your righteous anger made Satan laugh. Like, a real laugh. The one that makes you and everyone in earshot wonder if he truly was never an angel cause he sure as hell laughs like one but anyway-

When he threw his head back, his DDD angled up just a tad without him noticing, and your face was in view for like .2 seconds. Screenshots of it are making the rounds on Devilgram almost immediately: FINALLY THE LEGS’ OWNER HAS BEEN FOUND.

Satan apologizes profusely but you honestly find it funny and you two opt to just start taking selfies while reading with both of your faces in them from now on. 

Asmodeus:

I’m gonna be real with you: you and Asmo go viral all the time. Pretty much everything Asmo posts can be considered viral because of his social media following and his status as one of the seven avatars of sin.

However, there are some fairly cute highlights to be pointed out among the times you were both featured in a post that blew up.

Your favorite is probably that time Asmo livestreamed on of you guys’ ‘Nail Nites,’ as you call them.

You’re both on the floor, doing your nails and kicking your feet back and forth while talking to chat. A lot of the questions are about your relationship, and there’s a lot of flirting back and forth between the two of you.

A particular clip of the stream does blow the fuck up on Devilgram, though, when someone screen records it and posts it with a bunch of heart emojis edited over it.

“’What colors do you think best describe each other?’ Ooo, that’s a good one, chat!” Asmo claps his hands together excitedly, making sure to be  careful of his nails.

Pretty much everyone expected you to say pink, but you surprised both your boyfriend and your viewers when, after a pensive few moments, you replied with “Hmm...probably yellow or orange.”

“Can I ask why, darling?” Asmo tilts his head in confusion. I mean, yeah, those colors look good on him, but he doesn’t wear them often so he’s wondering about your thought process. 

“Well, in the human world those colors often represent happiness, optimism, and positivity. You’re always the cheerful presence I need in my life when things get hard, so you have the vibe of those colors.”

Asmo proceeds to burst into tears and hug you, messing up both of your nails and prolonging the stream since you both have to start over. But neither of you particularly care. 

Fun fact: Asmo has the clip that demon made of that portion of the stream saved on his DDD and watches it whenever he feels sad.

Beelzebub:

Beel and you probably go the most viral out of everybody. Like this moment is an entire phenomenon across the Devildom internet. 

It’s a video, or well, multiple videos, taken at the end of a Fangol game that Beel’s team had just won. Everyone is cheering and going crazy, yourself included, and you just really wanted to congratulate your boyfriend.

So, like the rational person you are, you elect to climb up onto the railing of the bleachers and wave to get his attention. 

You were absolutely fine up there, and sat all comfortably motioning Beel over to you. He notices, of course, and jogs over, standing right beneath you and looking up. (Back where you were sitting, Mammon is screeching like a hyena in heat and Belphie, who is laying down, has one eye open to glare at him. The youngest knows Beel would never let you hurt yourself; you’re fine.)

A bunch of assorted demons at the game has started filming while you were sat atop the railing since you were rather noticeable. Therefore, there’s a shit ton of different angles of the adorable events that follow:

You slide off the railing, landing right in Beel’s waiting arms bridal style. You’ve got this brilliant smile on your face as you pull his helmet off. None of the DDDs filming can hear it over the crowd noise, but Beel asks you why you just went through all that trouble and you tell him it’s because you wanted to tell him how proud you are.

Soft boy’s chest puffs up and he smiles this big cheesy smile at you reach up to run a hand through his hair. You feel him practically purr at the contact, and with a laugh you pull him in and plant a big ole smooch on him.

The crowd, at least those of them that can see, scream. Everyone is running high on adrenaline and happy emotions; something that cute causes a ruckus!! When you pull away Beel proceeds to put you on his shoulders and you celebrate with him and the rest of his team.

The videos of you two being adorable go completely viral and there are some threads dedicated to stockpiling every single angle taken of the event. Beel is completely oblivious to the attention but you have a lot of them saved on your DDD.

Belphegor:

If you think Belphegor has any sort of social media presence whatsoever then you are sorely mistaken. (Well okay he actually does run some anonymous troll accounts to meme on Lucifer’s posts but that’s neither here nor there-)

Therefore, naturally, you two go viral off of Asmo’s Devilgram. 

Okay so someone in the obey me tag the other say headcanoned that Belphie will go out of his way to nap in ridiculous places and my brain really took that and RAN WITH IT.

So what happens is that Belphie will fall asleep in the fucking weirdest places. I’m talking on top of the fridge, underneath the dinner table, on top of bookshelves...you name it, he has slept there, no matter the effort it takes to get there in the first place. 

And, ever since you two started dating, you would join him. Sometimes it involved putting yourself at risk of great bodily harm, but the little smile he gave when you he saw you fucking scaling the countertop to reach him made it worth it.

So anyway, since Beel adores the both of you to no end, he takes pictures whenever he sees you two napping together, whether or not it is in a crazy place. He sends these to the family group chat because he thinks they’re adorable.

Over a span of weeks to months, Asmo has built up a stock of images of you and Belphie cuddles up in seemingly impossible places. Once he has about ten or so, he posts a compilation of them to his Devilgram with some cheesy ass caption like “The things we do for love <3″.

They become a meme SO QUICKLY. Like UNBELIEVABLY quickly. 

The picture of you and Belphie sleeping on top of a bookshelf, in particular, is a big hit. Memes abound.

“If my girl doesn’t climb up a bookshelf to cuddle my ass, she don’t love me.” “Get yourself a partner who scales bookshelves just to be with your ass.” Etc etc...Belphie doesn’t give a shit but you laugh at a lot of them so he sees that as a good outcome.
