Okay so question two!!! Stga friendships!!

Remus and Regulus's friendship in stga! I remember you mentioning how Remus taught Regulus the phrase 'biting the bullet' which I think is very funny afjshsjs Regulus and Sirius were truly isolated from the muggle world

And I think it was also Remus who introduced Regulus to glitter bombs?? I don't remember. But I think that their friendship is very fun based off of what we know afjsbjss so!! If you have more info about it I'd love to know! Did they have any inside jokes, shared experiences, things that only they could understand about eachother? (Notice how I'm in the mood for friendships today lmaoo)

And while we are still on the topic, Regulus and Lily's friendship! Especially during their hogwarts days in stga- I remember she started getting closer with the group after she started dating James. I'd love to know how her and Reg's friendship was like!

Annnnddddd alsooo Marlene and Regulus's friendship in stga. I remember that they were seeker buddies, and that they were close. Scene over here:

"Are you alright?" Peter says.

Regulus pulls back into his own mind. His hands are trembling. He doesn't know when they started.

Peter's noticed them too, and his face fills with pity. "I know Marlene's important to you."

Regulus sighs. It's true that he and Marlene are friends, mainly by necessity. She was reserve Seeker, so they trained together multiple times a week for years. He'll let Peter think Regulus is distraught over the idea of Marlene being a traitor. After all, he would be distraught, if he believed it.

Anndddd we had their chaotic duo in that one order mission fjabsjsbs they have such a great dynamic. If you have more info to tell about them I'd love to hear that too!!

questions remus found himself answering in very quick succession after casually using one (1) muggle idiom in front of regulus:

what is a bullet

what is a gun

do you have a gun

why not

wait how do muggles heal bullet wounds

wouldn't that hurt a lot

wait wait wait how would you BITE a BULLET. it's METAL

......come to think of it why would you bite a bullet in the first place

wait what does the phrase mean again

james first brought up the concept of glitter bombs but remus is the one who taught james about them and remus is also the one who explains what they are to regulus!

regulus and remus are the 'Sensible Ones' - they're the most bookish out of the marauders, the least wild (which is a very relative term), and they are often the ones who listen to james and sirius's plans and go 'that won't work, we should do this instead'. so when i say 'sensible,' part of that includes 'the ones who actually put thought into avoiding getting caught' - both of them have mastermind tendencies afhsglshkfjd

regulus is a little more open about the 'mastermind' thing and to a certain degree he likes to encourage his friends to go further (see 'boils, james? crude, i thought you were more creative than that'), which remus semi-guiltily finds very entertaining. regulus is definitely one of the reasons that remus is like 'i need to be the moral compass of this group of people'. he's like 'oh god it's funny but at what cost'

they also go absolutely feral together inside any bookshop. they have the layout of flourish & blotts memorized. the rest of the marauders' go-to strategy for obtaining any sort of secret gifts or whatnot for remus or regulus is to take them to a reasonably large bookstore, sort of follow them around making appropriate interested noises as necessary, and then drift away and go obtain the secret item in the hour or so they have before remus and regulus notice they left the store

also regulus's education in dark arts was incredibly thorough before he started at hogwarts, but he wasn't quite as ahead of the curve on some practical magic stuff, so remus helped him with that - not that sirius wasn't willing to help, but remus tended to do this really great thing called 'explaining the concept'

(although remus is Not Good at potions which is how regulus first started talking to lily, who *is* good at potions and was willing to help out sirius's little brother who asked very politely)

REGULUS AND LILY!!! they have been acquainted since regulus's first year at hogwarts, but they weren't close for a long time - like, friendly, but they didn't have that many reasons to talk to each other. it was the war that really changed that - or rather, being in the order together. regulus was already friends with both james and marlene so being friends with lily was just a natural extension of that you know?

lily thinks it's hilarious how out of touch regulus is with Normal People Life, but she's occasionally a little appalled by it (see: you don't know how the stove works in your childhood home????) - everything's normal and then regulus says something Obnoxiously Rich and she has to pause and remember that he barely set foot in a kitchen, much less a laundry room, until after graduation from hogwarts

lily also likes movies (especially once she's spending a lot more time shut up at home and needs something to do) and regulus is a good movie watching buddy because a) he's bewildered and fascinated by All These Muggle Weapons (lily likes action movies) and b) he wants to catch literally every word of dialogue so he doesn't talk over the movie like SOME PEOPLE (sirius)

i think a lot of regulus and lily's friendship at hogwarts in the later years (once they knew each other better) was lily being like 'oh my god these people are nuts' and regulus being like 'right?' and lily being like 'i'm including you in that' and regulus being like 'oh. fair enough i suppose'

lily also gets interrogated about muggle idioms by regulus. he's very unclear on what she means by '*my* god'

marlene has feral short person energy and she and regulus encourage each other

neither of them is remotely afraid of heights or of falling to their death or of faceplanting on the ground and breaking their entire body, which means quidditch practices were very fun for them and Very Stressful for everyone else (mostly james)

like the rest of the gryffindor team is minding their own business practicing and then they hear marlene and regulus cackling and dive-bombing some arbitrary point on the ground at the other end of the pitch

this attitude of 'i am invincible unless proven otherwise' did mean that regulus got taken out of games a LOT due to injuries so marlene being the reserve seeker meant she actually played a lot of matches sjflskghjskfhsj - i feel like at some point there was definitely a match in which regulus was taken out due to an injury, marlene went in, and then MARLENE got injured and james was like 'i know how to fix this. someone run to the hospital wing and tell regulus to come back' and regulus (just got his broken arm fixed) is like ALRIGHT I AM ON MY WAY

and then he and marlene probably high fived as they switched off

madam pomfrey considered early retirement but it was easier to just wait for them to graduate

since marlene and regulus spent pretty much entire quidditch practices hanging out with each other, they had a lot of time to talk as the years went on, so that's how they got close - they weren't each other's best friends, but marlene is definitely regulus's closest non-marauder friend (that was the case even before regulus started sort of counting lily as a marauder)

#FINISHED MY LIT REVIEW!!!!!#so i'll be responding to another ask #i'm trying to get ahead on assignments this weekend #before* this weekend #so u are welcome to keep sending in questions!! im rlly enjoying answering them #and seeing what sticks out to people #should i make an inbox tag #set those ghosts alight

class 1A’s tiktok fyp

request: “idk if ur familiar with tiktok but headcanons for class 1A and their fyps?”

i am on multiple sides of tiktok so HELL YEA IM GONNA DO THIS REQUEST! i did “widen” the request a little bit i hope you don’t mind!

characters: momo, ochako, toru, tsuyu, jirou, mina, bakugou, kirishima, kaminari, deku. and a special surprise at the end

warnings: language, bakugou, and mineta lol

MOMO, OCHAKO, AND TORU

i’ve never been on japan tiktok so this will be based on stuff from the tiktok i know

please don’t attack me for this but...momo, ochako, and toru would be on straight tiktok

i think they would really love doing the tiktok dances and would mostly use charli damelio as a reference to learn most of the dances

when they record themselves in the cafeteria doing one of the dances they would get a lot of stares

did they give a fuck? hell no

momo would be the one posting the tiktok

“DO THAT ONE DANCE THAT WILLY WONK-”

mineta got smacked by mina who was hyping the girls up

the rest of the boys were hyping the girls up too

bakugou...well...

“DUMBASSES, THAT’S NOT A REAL DANCE!”

the girls just rolled their eyes at bakugou cus he’s just bakugou

since class 1A was already pretty famous, they got like around 500k likes and 20k comments.

the girls read through the comments

“LMFAO ARE THEY EVEN ALLOWED TO SHOW THE INSIDE OF UA-”

“now i finally seen not only two but three pretty best friends”

deku in the back: 🥝👄🥝

they were most definitely not gonna delete tiktok anytime soon

TSUYU, JIROU, AND MINA

alt tiktok.

they speak ALT

they like posting tiktoks of them on the subway, the little space between the subway boxes, or just riding in the back of the subway

most of their tiktoks are pretty much rebellious

they like showing their “alt” outfits a lot

on jirou’s account, she would like to show off what instruments she has

is musical tiktok a thing? she would be on there

they would make tiktoks in the school bathrooms

aizawa would keep a close eye on them

their tiktoks got super popular ofc

some news outlets were concerned about their actions because it’s UA

they read the tiktok comments

“spare hand in marriage 🤲🏽?”

“their outfits are so good wtf”

“bark baaaark baaark 😏”

BAKUGOU, KIRISHIMA, AND KAMINARI

HAHAHA OKAY

all of them are on different sides of tiktok

kaminari would be on the weirdest side of tiktok

you guys know those heavily filtered random tiktoks? yeah he would be on that side

kirishima would DEFINITELY be on workout tiktok or something like that

maybe his fyp would have a mix of alt, straight, and workout tiktok but just mostly workouts

bakugou’s not really a tiktok type of person but eventually his friends forced him to get tiktok.

and he landed on...

UA tiktok.

he wouldn’t post anything

he would scroll through the ua hashtag and see a bunch of memes of his school

eventually he saw a tiktok meme of himself

it went like

nobody:

not one soul:

bakugou when he was first place during the sports festival:

and it was someone in a bunch of restraints mimicking angry bakugou in like 2x speed

him literally yelling out his hate comment while he’s typing it

“THIS ISNT EVEN ACURATE DUMBASS”

kaminari looks at his phone

“that’s not how you spell accurate...you spell it a c c u r r -”

even kaminari spelled it wrong

“LIKE I CARE DUNCE FA-”

suddenly his phone was buzzing repeatedly

“look, people replied to your comment!”

bakugou taps replies

“when he spells accurate correctly 😍”

“damn hows the education at ua LMFAOO”

“LMAOO YALL BOLD FOR THIS”

someone replied to that comment

“what he gonna do? reply? 😭”

bakugou was about to burn his phone until kirishima quickly snatched it away from him

“i think that’s enough tiktok for today...”

DEKU

aww honestly he’s so soft

if mha was real he would be on all might tiktok

just a bunch of fun facts or people showing off their merch

ok i just thought of something funny

he would see a false fact about all might that was clearly a joke

did you know that all might’s daughter is reese witherspoon?

he would be like WHA!? NO!

he would immediately go to the comments

all the comments were sarcastic but deku didnt realize it

he starts rapidly typing

“what? this isn’t true.”

here comes the replies

“who gonna tell him”

“ur so pure zuku”

“i cant tell if this is a sarcastic comment or ur bein fr lmao”

deku realizes and basically goes beet red from embarrassment

he responds back to his replies immediately

“hehe sorry guys :p”

don’t argue with me, deku would definitely put that at the end

even more replies

“fuck i could never hate deku”

“is he actually this pure or is this just for the public-”

“did he just use :p at the end BYE”

he smiled at his replies and continued replying to as many fans as he could

BONUS: DABI/LEAGUE OF VILLAINS

this is gonna be super short

sometimes he would see prison tiktoks on his fyp

he’s inspired

he would use this audio

he would show each member in each clip

toga would probably stick her tongue out for her pose

twice would definitely just point and mouth the lyrics but you can only see his mouth moving around his mask

spinner would probably just roll his eyes and before the clip cuts off you just see dabi rolling his eyes

as soon as dabi aims the camera at shigaraki, he’s confused at first until he realizes he’s being recorded and lurches himself to grab dabi’s phone and you just see blur everywhere due to dabi trying to keep shiggy away from his phone

then you see dabi holding his phone above him while he’s running and shiggy running far behind him

i would think the video would hit at least 1M likes because they’re fucking criminals

comments IMMEDIATELY started rolling in

“this aint who i think this-”

“HAHAHAH I CANT STOP LAUGHING”

“average life with the league”

“who let criminals run tiktok 💀”

All Consuming - Yandere!Powers!Jimin X Powers!Reader

Yandere!AU - Part of the Yandere!BTS X Reader Series

Genre: Mature, Horror, Angst, Semi-Smut (Mentions of Masturbation)

Pairing: Jimin X Reader

Words: 12,780

Warning: Minor assault. This is a Yandere story, it will contain themes such as stalking, violence, obsession, possessive natures, and just general overall creepiness and swearing. You have been warned.

A/n: Damn this turned out way longer than expected, but it’s finally here! Yay! After how many months of me saying it’ll be posted soon over and over again lmaoo. My apologies about that, life got crazy and I was severely demotivated to write this story for the longest time. Anyways, I'm glad it’s done now, though I think the first half is a bit slow to start. Hopefully it lives up to everyone’s expectations! Loosely inspired by X-Men. As always, I do not believe Jimin, nor any member of BTS would act like this. This is just my interpretation of the archetype. Feedback is greatly appreciated, enjoy!

Another day, another summer that has come and gone within the blink of an eye. This year in particular has gone by quicker than all the rest, and you’re not sure why. You’re just glad to be back at the academy and away from your brother.

A sigh slips past your lips as you stare up at the large stone building, standing almost castle-like in appearance. You watch as hundreds of students mill around you, some returning for another year, while others take in the grand sight before them for the first time. You can hear all their thoughts in your mind, jumbled over one another as their emotions over power you for the time being.

The first day is always the hardest.

Closing your eyes for a brief moment, you focus on casting out all the unwanted voices from your head, something which you learned to do last year, and worked hard to perfect over the summer. Breathing out a sigh of relief, you manage to find peace and quiet within your mind once more.

Being able to read minds can be tough, especially when some thoughts others have just simply demand to be heard. The whole reason you came to this school in the first place is to better understand yourself and your powers. So far, it’s been pretty helpful, and you’ve made some good friends along the way. You can’t help but think of the academy as a second home.

“It’s good to be back,” a small smile tugs at your lips as you begin to make your way inside the building.

Turning a few corners, you allow your feet to take you to the room you’ve been staying in during all your previous years here at the academy. You can faintly hear shouts coming from other rooms as people move in, or see their friends for the first time in what feels like ages.

Opening the door to your room, you take a quick look around. Everything appears to have been left exactly in the same spot as before, only now, a thin layer of dust resides on all the shelves. Your father will be by later to drop off all your other things that you’ll need for the year, like spare sheets, towels, and most importantly, your clothes.

Moving over to the shared bathroom, you give a soft knock before opening the door. Giving a quick look around as you flick on the lights, you notice the door to the adjacent room closed. However, in the next moment, it’s flinging open to reveal Jihyo, your roommate for the past two years.

“Oh my goodness, (Y/n)! Is that you?” She squeals, tackling you in a hug and nearly sending the both of you crashing to the floor.

“Hey, Jihyo,” you chuckle, hugging her back as you steady yourself on your feet.

“Oops, sorry,” she giggles, “I must have got too excited to see you again.”

“It’s been, what? Three or four months?” You smile, quirking a brow as you pull away from her to look into her eyes.

“Seems like forever ago!” She smiles back, eyes crinkling at the sides. “How’ve you been? How was your summer?”

“Not too bad. Though, I wish I didn’t have to spend so much time with Harold,” you roll your eyes slightly, noticing that she shoots a sympathetic look in your direction. “I swear he can do no wrong by our parents.”

“Hey, well, at least you don’t have to see him now for a couple of months,” she says, you nodding along with her statement.

“Yeah, at least,” you sigh, lip quirking slightly. “Anyways, how was your summer? Any big splashes?”

“Will you stop with the water puns?” She rolls hers eyes, exasperated as you simply grin in response. “No, not really, though I did make a wave crash into my cousin at the beach cause she called me a tramp.”

The casual shrug of her shoulders as she says this sends you into a fit of laughter, “remind me not to get on your bad side.”

“Hun, it’s been how many years and I still put up with your water-based puns,” she nudges your shoulder. “You couldn’t get on my bad side even if you tried.”

“You put too much faith in me,” you grin, shaking your head slightly as you cross your arms in front of your chest. “One day you’ll get sick of my puns and leave me for someone more fluid with their words.”

“(Y/n), I swear to god,” a look flashes through Jihyo’s eyes and you jump back into your room before she can smack you. A large smile is on your face as a few giggles slip out, watching her shake her head at you. “You’re lucky I love you.”

“I know,” your voice singsongs, a slight tilt to your head. “Love you, too.”

Before you two can continue your conversation, a knock sounds at your door. Moving over to see who it is, Jihyo casually leans against the side of the bathroom doorframe with her arms crossed. Opening your room door, you’re greeted by your father and brother, both holding two of your bags.

“Hi sweetie! Guess who wanted to tag along to say goodbye one last time!” Your father cheerfully greets you, stepping past you and into your room.

“Oh, hi there, Jihyo,” Harold greets her with a smile, noticing her presence as he steps into your room after your father.

“Hello,” she greets back politely, shooting you a look once both their backs are turned. Your eyes plead for her to stay, but she only sends you an apologetic look. “I’ll leave you all to it then, since you’ll probably want to talk with (Y/n).”

With a final polite smile, she closes the bathroom door in order to retreat into her room, leaving you alone with your dad and brother. You nearly sigh at her thoughts of good luck aimed towards you.

“I think this was everything you wanted me to bring for you,” you father smiles, placing your bags near your bed.

“It should be,” you smile back. “Thanks for bringing this stuff.”

“Of course! If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to phone,” you dad says.

“Well, we won’t keep you for too long then,” Harold says.

“That’s okay,” you reassure him. “Did you want to stay? We could grab dinner and I could show you guys the new west wing of the school if you wanted?”

“Maybe another time, we should probably get back home soon, before the traffic gets really bad,” Harold frowns slightly, along with your father.

“Your brother’s right,” you father sighs. “Maybe we can all come visit you soon though, and stay for the whole day. I do have to drive him back to his university early tomorrow morning anyways.”

“Alright,” you smile, somewhat sadly. “Thanks for bringing my stuff.”

“Of course, sweetie,” your father smiles, pulling you in for a hug. “We’ll talk with you later, okay?”

“Okay, dad,” you mumble into his chest before pulling away.

“Don’t be a stranger,” Harold jokes, pulling you into a hug of his own.

“No promises,” you tease, hugging him back briefly.

Waving a final goodbye, you close your door behind them as they leave. Once the door is closed, you find yourself letting out a sigh.

“You okay?” Jihyo’s voice manages to pull you out of your thoughts.

You turn to look at her, a hint of sadness in your eyes, “yeah, I’ll be fine. I’m used to them not spending time with me anyways. Harold’s more important than I am. Always.”

“(Y/n), you know that’s not true,” she crosses her arms while sending you a firm look. You can practically feel her sympathy radiating off of her before her thoughts even reach you.

“You’re thinking too loudly,” you state, turning around to pull one of your suitcases onto your bed to start unpacking.

You hear her sigh before her mood is shifting to become her usual cheerful self, “well, why don’t we grab food after you’re done unpacking then?”

“Sounds good,” you shoot a smile at her from over your shoulder. “Feel free to keep me company in the mean time.”

“Sure!” She chirps. “Here, why don’t I dust your room while you unpack?”

“That’d be a big help, thanks,” you reply, already opening the drawers to your dresser to start placing your clothes into.

The two of you move around your room soon after, working around each other as you talk about your summers. It feels nice catching up with one of your closest friends, and having her help you clean your room makes the time fly by.

Soon enough, the two of you have finished, and are ready to make your way down to the mess hall in order to grab some dinner. You’re excited to see if any of your other friends have made it back today, or if they’ll be here tomorrow.

Stepping into the mess hall, it seems a little busier than normal at this time of year. Usually, most people move back to the dorms in the upcoming days, but it looks like more moved back early this year. That, and there seems to be a new guy sitting with the most popular group of students.

Your eyes narrow slightly as you walk past, hearing the curious thoughts of the students surrounding the mystery new guy. You manage to catch his eye briefly before turning your attention back to Jihyo. However, a new thought sticks out among the rest - cute.

Seeing as how Jihyo is standing right next to you, you’re assuming she’s caught this new guy’s attention. A subtle smirk pulls at your lips.

“Hey, sounds like the new guy thinks you’re cute,” you nudge her as you step in line to place your orders.

“Shut up, he was totally staring at you,” she responds, nudging you back.

“Who is he, anyways?” You inquire, interest peaked considering the amount of fuss he’s created so far.

“I’m not sure, but give me ten minutes and I’ll let you know,” she answers, looking around the mess hall to see if she can spot anyone else she might know to tell her what’s going on. “Order my usual from last year, I’ll meet you at our spot in a few.”

With that, she leaves you standing in line, off to talk with a few of her friends to update her on the new guy. You watch her walk up to Eric, your friend that you both made last year from your history of mutations class. A slight chuckle escapes your lips as you see them greet each other, almost immediately jumping into a conversation as they not so subtly eye the new guy.

Turning your attention back to the front, you realize that you’re next to order. Placing your orders, you patiently wait for your food to be made, standing off to the side as you quickly check your phone.

Scrolling through your notifications, you’re currently zoned out to the world around you. What you don’t expect though, is to feel a slight bump on your back, followed by a small ‘oof’.

Turning around, you’re met with the apologetic face of the new guy.

“I’m so sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going,” he says, a nervous look crossing his features.

“No worries,” you smile at him, “no harm done.”

“I’m Jimin, by the way,” he introduces himself, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “The new guy. Or at least one of them.”

“There’s more than one of you?” You quirk a brow questioningly, curious to know of the other new students that have joined the academy this year.

“Well, I’m actually not so sure, but I’d assume so,” he begins to say. “I mean, big school, there are bound to be a few new students every year, right? Unless I’m the only one, then that’d be weird, too, right? Oh god, I’m rambling again, I’m so sorry, I need to stop, oh my god.”

You let out a small chuckle, “it’s alright. I get it, don’t worry. We were all in your shoes at some point or other, being the new kid and all.”

You can practically hear his thoughts running wild just by looking at his face, but at your words, he seems to calm down slightly, even going so far as to breathe a small sigh of relief.

“Thanks,” the corners of his lips twitch upwards. “Anyways, I should probably get going, still got a lot to explore and everything.”

“Well, if you need a tour guide-“

He cuts you off before you can continue, eyes widening slightly, “oh, no, that’s okay, I wouldn’t want to trouble you! Thanks though. I’ll see you around.”

With a final smile and a small wave, he’s heading off to join the group of people you saw him with when you walked into the mess hall. You simply smile to yourself, shaking your head slightly as you turn around, hearing your name get called to alert you that your food is ready. You weren’t even going to offer yourself as a tour guide, just wanting to point him in the direction of the campus lead tours they host every year for new students. You let out a small chuckle.

Grabbing the two containers, you make your way over to your usual spot where Jihyo and Eric are already sitting and waiting for you. Placing the two containers down, Jihyo grabs hers, thanking you shortly after.

“So, we saw you talking to the new guy,” she wiggles her brows suggestively at you.

“Yeah, he seems nice,” comes your reply, taking a bite of your food shortly afterwards.

“I was just telling Jihyo here that apparently he comes from the prestigious Park family that practically sits at the head of every governmental council powers are involved in,” Eric tells you, causing you to tilt your head slightly in curiosity. “Apparently, he comes from a family of powerful powers.”

“Has he expressed his gene yet?” You ask, turning to catch one final look at Jimin as he exits the mess hall.

“Apparently not,” Jihyo replies. “That’s why his parents sent him to this academy, in order to assess his skills and find out what kind of mutation he has.”

“So, you’re telling me, he could be just a regular human?” Your brow furrows in confusion, momentarily halting your eating.

“I mean, it’s possible,” Eric replies. “Mutation of a mutation, in some twisted way.”

“Woah,” Jihyo gasps.

“That’s pretty cool though, if you think about it,” you say, continuing to eat in the next moment. “Human or not, that’s still pretty neat.”

“Poor guy, though,” Jihyo adds, causing you and Eric to both look at her. “To have that kind of family, the expectations are probably really high, and considering he hasn’t expressed his gene yet… I can’t even begin to imagine the kind of pressure he must be under.”

“Yeah, fair enough,” Eric nods.

“You never know, maybe he has expressed it, but just no one knows yet,” you shrug, finishing off your dinner.

“That’s true,” Jihyo nods. “Either way, he’s cute and from what (Y/n) says, he seems nice enough. Considering he’s already in with the popular crowd must mean something.”

“Yeah, that he’s part of a major family,” Eric grumbles.

“Careful, Ric, your jealousy is showing,” you tease, watching as he crosses his arms in the next moment.

“I’m not jealous,” he pouts, though his thoughts suggest otherwise.

“Uh-huh, sure you’re not,” Jihyo gets in on the teasing. “It’s okay, we still love you.”

“Yeah,” you nod along reassuringly. “Besides, who else would be able to put up with you.”

“Hey!” He whines, causing both you and Jihyo to burst out laughing.

“We’re only kidding,” she grins, you nodding along with her.

“Yeah, yeah,” he huffs. “You guys would be lost without me.”

At this point, the three of you stand up, seeing as you and Jihyo are finished eating, and make your way out of the mess hall after throwing away your trash. The three of you continue to bicker and tease each other back and forth all the way back to the dorms, smiles never leaving your faces. You’re glad to be back, and glad to see your friends once more.

The next few days are spent with Jihyo and Eric, talking about the upcoming school year, getting resettled into the dorms, as well as catching up with some of your other friends. You’ve just gotten your schedule for the year, and it looks like you have half your classes with Jihyo, and the other half with Eric. Luckily, you all have the same lunch period and free time.

You haven’t run into the new guy, Jimin, lately, so you’re assuming he’s been hanging around with the popular kids all this time. They usually don’t reappear or show up until the first day of classes anyways.

The night before classes start, you’re just heading back to your room with Jihyo when you notice the room across from you still vacant. You send her a questioning look, since it’d odd to not have all the dorm rooms filled, especially the once across from yours considering it’s one of the biggest on this floor.

“Maybe whoever is moving in is late this year cause they’re on vacation?” Jihyo suggests.

“Maybe,” you shrug. “Or maybe there’s an actual empty room for once.”

“That’s true,” she nods.

The two of you enter your room at this, letting the door fall shut behind you. With a sigh, you plop onto your bed while Jihyo sits in your desk chair, spinning around to face you.

“Oh, I’ve been meaning to tell you something!” She says, an excited look crossing her face, of which you nod for her to continue. “Apparently, that new kid, Jimin or whatever, has been asking about you.”

“Really now?” You quirk a brow. “Why the hell would he be doing that, it’s not like we talked for longer than a few minutes.”

“He probably thinks you’re cute!” Jihyo winks. “I told you he was staring at you that night in the mess hall.”

“Doesn’t mean he thinks I’m cute,” you joke with a slight roll of your eyes.

“Still, don’t be surprised if he finds you to ask you out sometime soon,” she wiggles her brows suggestively.

“Jihyo, it’s only the beginning of the year, I doubt anything like that is going to happen so soon,” you huff.

“So, you’d like it if he asked you out?” She smirks, and you can hear her raunchy thoughts teasing you.

“Well, maybe, but I hardly know him,” you reply, throwing one of your pillows at her since she’s started chuckling at you. “Oh, shut up, it’s not like that.”

“Then what is it like?” She teases.

You let out a sigh, “Jihyo.”

“(Y/n),” she mirrors the exasperation in your tone, looking at you expectantly.

“I talked to him for five minutes, it means nothing!” You defend yourself.

“Mmhmm,” she hums, “sure it doesn’t.”

“It’s not like I like him like that, I don’t know him,” you repeat. “The semester hasn’t even begun, so all I can do is just take it day by day.”

“Fair enough,” she nods at you, leaning back deeper into your chair.

With that, the two of you move on to another topic, talking late into the night until Jihyo retreats to her room to sleep. You bid her a goodnight and that you’ll see her tomorrow for class. Once you’ve finished getting ready for bed, you climb under the covers, thinking about what tomorrow will bring. You can’t wait to see who else is in your classes, and you hope that the semester goes by quickly.

The next morning, you groggily pull yourself out of bed. You silently curse yourself for staying up so late last night as you get ready for the day. A soft knock on your door manages to pull you from your thoughts. Opening your door reveals both Eric and Jihyo standing in the hallway with smiles on their faces.

“Ready for breakfast?” Eric asks.

“Ready as I’ll ever be,” you reply with a smile, stepping into the hallway with your bag and shutting the door behind you.

The three of you make your way to the mess hall, talking amongst yourselves. Once you’ve all grabbed food, you’re sitting in your usual spot.

“Don’t look now, but it looks like someone is staring at you,” Jihyo nudges your arm while motioning across the hall with her head.

Your brow furrows as you look up from your food and over to where Jihyo has directed your attention. You do your best to drown out the voices of all the students in the hall, both in your head and not, as your gaze zeroes in on Jimin. Once he notices he’s been caught staring, he looks away quickly, and you swear you hear a loud ‘shit’ in your head as he looks away, embarrassed.

“I told you he’s interested in you!” Jihyo squeals.

“Wait, what?” This time it’s Eric’s brow that furrows in confusion. “Who are you talking about?”

With that, he turns around to see if he can catch a glimpse of whoever was staring at you.

“Jihyo insists that the new guy, Jimin, has a thing for me,” you huff, clearly amused as you lean back in your chair.

“Maybe he does,” Eric shrugs, turning back around to face you. “You never know. You could always do some snooping you know.”

“You know I would never willingly read someone’s thoughts, that’s an invasion of privacy,” you respond, eyes narrowing slightly at him for even suggesting that.

“Okay, okay,” he raises his hands in defence. “My bad.”

“Anyways, we should get to class,” Jihyo says, collecting her things and standing up.

You simply nod your head in agreement, standing up with her and gathering your own things, “see you later, Ric.”

He sends the two of you a final wave goodbye as you make your way out of the mess hall and towards your first class of the day. The whole time, you can feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of your head, causing a shiver to run down your spine. You wonder if it was Jimin who returned to staring at you. You shake your head in order to clear your thoughts. You have more important things to worry about right now.

The first few classes you have pass by fairly quickly for you, and before you know it, it’s lunchtime. Both you and Jihyo meet Eric in the mess hall once more to eat. The three of you joke around, and you double check your bag to make sure you have everything you need for your next class. With a loud sigh, you realize you forgot your textbook.

“I forgot the fucking textbook,” you voice your thoughts to your friends. “I have to run back to my room to grab it quickly, but I’ll meet you in class, okay Ric?”

“Yeah, for sure,” he nods at you as you stand up.

“Save me a seat, will you?” You grin, tossing your bag over your shoulder and seeing him nod out of the corner of your eyes.

“See you soon,” he calls before turning back to talk with Jihyo.

Walking quickly, you weave your way through the halls of the school and back to your dorm room. Once you unlock your door, you grab the textbook you forgot earlier and head off to class. Checking your phone for the time, you see you still have a few minutes to spare, so you no longer have to rush as much as you were before.

Just as you reach the classroom, you manage to bump into someone coming out from the class. You let out a small ‘oof’ before apologizing for not watching where you’re going.

A chuckle reaches your ears, “it’s alright, I wasn’t watching where I was walking either.”

“Oh, Jimin,” you shoot him a polite smile, hearing his thoughts of amusement run through his head, “are you in this class, too?”

“Yep,” he returns your smile, eyes forming little crescents. You can’t help but let out a small chuckle at his happy thoughts of actually knowing another person in his class.

“Anyways, I’m going to head inside now,” you say, stepping around him without another word. You notice his eyes following you even after you walk over to Eric who has so graciously saved you a seat.

“Damn, looks like you have a thing for literally running into guys who like you,” Eric teases once you sit down.

“Shut up, I wasn’t paying attention,” you nudge his arm slightly before pulling out your supplies for the class.

Eric only hums in response, eyes twinkling in amusement, to which you roll your own. You barely know Jimin, it’s not like that at all.

Meanwhile, Jimin stands outside in the hallway for a few more moments, thinking over the past two interactions he’s had with you. You’ve definitely caught his eye, especially since you didn’t throw yourself at him the first chance you saw him, or talked to him for that matter. You actually treated him like a person, not some prodigal son from the Park family.

He begins to make his way to the snack area to grab the drink he originally came out to get, thinking over what he felt when he touched you. He could feel the slight guilt and annoyance that comes with bumping into someone, but once you saw it was him, your feelings shifted. He could sense the curiosity and slight nervousness in you, as well as intrigue. Just like the first time he bumped into you, though this time, you got shy.

Entering the classroom once more after he’s gotten his drink, a smile tugs at his lips. Maybe you like him like he’s starting to like you. He doesn’t know much about you, and you don’t know much about him, but you don’t seem to hold any high expectations of him. He doesn’t even know what kind of powers you possess, and he doesn’t want to be rude and just straight up ask you. He hates it when people do that to him, and he hates it even more that he has to lie every time.

Jimin, although coming from a powerful family of Powers, has what his parents consider a ‘weak’ power. He’s able to feel and understand a person’s emotions when touching them. Everything they feel, he feels, if he’s touching them, that is. However, his family doesn’t consider being an empath anything extraordinary, so he’s been told to hide what he is, to be ashamed.

This is why he hates when people expect so much of him, or are only friends with him cause of his name. His family is nothing special, just a bunch of entitled Powers who think they’re better than everyone else. He only really has one real friend, and that’s Taehyung, who luckily, also goes to this academy. This is also why he likes you so much already. He knows you won’t treat him any different than anyone else just because of his family name.

He’s used to it by now, though, so he’s able to play along with the people who only give him attention due to his name. It does get tiring, pretending all the time, but that’s why he’s so intrigued with you. He feels as if he’ll never need to pretend with you, as crazy as that sounds. What he does know, is that he wants to get closer to you, and maybe, just maybe, take you out sometime. The first step, is becoming your friend.

“Took you long enough,” Taehyung jokes once Jimin returns to his seat before the start of class, successfully pulling the aforementioned boy out of his thoughts. “Saw you ran into that girl that’s caught your eye, how’d that go?”

Jimin lets out a small sigh at the suggestive wiggle of Taehyung’s eyebrows, “I’ve only just met her, Tae. We just happened to bump into each other again.”

“Right, and that’s the reason you haven’t taken your eyes off of her since you’ve sat down,” Taehyung nudges him with his elbow.

At this, Jimin’s eyes widen. He hadn’t noticed he’d been staring at you, for his gaze naturally drifted towards where you’re sitting with your one guy friend. Well, he only hopes he’s just a friend.

“Do you know anything about her?” Jimin inquires, sitting up straighter as he watches you laugh at something the boy beside you has said.

“Just the same as you, that her name is (Y/n), and she’s been going to this academy for a few years,” Taehyung shrugs. “I know the guy that’s sitting beside her is Eric, he’s in one of my morning classes.”

Jimin simply hums in response, attention now being drawn to the front at the arrival of the professor. His mind begins to wander again as the professor introduces their course content for the semester. He has one more class after this, and he hopes that it’s also with you, so he can get another chance to talk with you, and try and become closer with you. He’s just in the middle of wondering what powers you possess when the prof’s words manage to pull him out of his thoughts.

“There will be a final assignment this term, of which you will work in pairs and give a presentation on what you’ve researched at the end of the semester,” at the shifting and murmurs starting up in the room, the professor continues, “I will be picking your partners, so you should all look forward to working with someone new. The sooner you know your partner and your topic, the better, hence why I will be assigning the groups before the end of class. I expect a topic to be chosen by Monday next week, that way you have the weekend to discuss with your partner what you’d like to work on from the approved topics. Have two backups ready incase you don’t get your first choice.”

You let out a sigh as you jot down ‘Monday, topic due’ for this class. You wonder who your partner will be, and unfortunately, you don’t think you’ll be lucky enough to get partnered with Eric.

Since the start of class, you’ve been zoning out everyone’s thoughts, wanting to not only practice this skill, but also not have to listen to everyone thinking at once. You’re glad you learned this technique last year, now, you only need to perfect it.

Soon enough, it nears the end of class and the prof starts calling out the partners for the final assignment. They explained that the final is worth eighty percent of your entire grade, the other twenty percent on attendance and participation. This only causes your anxiety to skyrocket, hating that your mark weighs heavily on one thing only. You just hope you get paired with someone decent and who doesn’t slack off.

“Eric and Taehyung,” they call, followed by, “(Y/n) and Jimin.”

At this, some heads turn to face you while some turn to face Jimin. You glance over to see he’s already staring at you with a smile on his face, so you send him one back. At least it’s someone you’ve actually met before, albeit briefly.

Class ends shortly after the last names are called, and you notice Jimin and his friend heading towards you and Eric.

“Hey,” Jimin greets you once they’re close enough.

“Hey, fancy seeing you here,” you joke, and you notice his friend grinning at your response.

“I’m Taehyung, by the way, and I believe you’re my partner,” he says, turning to look at Eric beside you.

“I’m Eric, nice to meet you,” Eric nods in greeting.

The two of them start to talk about class and the project, Eric calling an ‘I’ll see you next class’ over his shoulder as he walks down the hall with Taehyung.

“Damn, they really hit it off,” you laugh, gathering the last of your things and slinging your bag over your shoulder.

“No kidding,” Jimin replies, letting out a huff of amusement. “So, partners?”

“Well, yeah,” you grin, “we kind of have to be.”

“True, true,” he hums as the two of you make your way out into the hall. “What’s your next class?”

“I’ve got practical training with Eric, what about you?” You reply, glancing at him from the corner of your eyes.

“History of mutations, upper year one,” he tells you, to which you nod.

“I have that in the mornings with Jihyo,” you say.

“Here, how about we exchange numbers so we can talk about this assignment more when we’re both free,” he suggests, and you don’t need to hear his thoughts to see the hope shining in his eyes.

You giggle, “sure.”

Stepping to the side of the hallway, you both input your numbers into the other’s phone. Checking the time on your phone once you get it back, your eyes widen slightly. You’ve only got three minutes to get to class now, so you wave goodbye to Jimin and head on your way.

Jimin watches your form disappear around the corner with a sigh. He was hoping that you two would have the last class of the day together as well, but it looks like luck isn’t on his side. Oh well, at least he has your number now.

That night, you receive a text from Jimin asking you if you’re free Saturday to possibly discuss the project in full. You agree without question, letting him know that the sooner you get this done, the better.

Saturday comes and you end up meeting Jimin in the little café by the school gardens. It’s a beautiful day so you both decide to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine before the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Luckily, the two of you manage to decide on a topic pretty quickly, and choosing your two backups is a breeze. So far, the two of you have been sitting by the rose bushes for almost two hours now, falling into a natural conversation after deciding on what you’ll do for your project.

The whole time, Jimin watches you speak with a twinkle in his eyes. He can tell you’re not afraid of being honest with him and actually talking to him instead of trying to impress him like so many others. He enjoys getting to know you, and he likes how you listen to what he has to say, and actually respond to it instead of just agreeing with everything like so many others.

While you’ve been talking, you’ve also been working hard to maintain your silence in your head, making sure not to allow any stray thoughts from anyone into your mind. You’re pretty proud of yourself, so far, you’ve been able to maintain it and not give yourself a headache. Granted, there aren’t too many people around thinking loudly, which you couldn’t be more grateful for.

From what you’ve observed of Jimin so far, you can tell he’s a bit more reserved than he wants people to think. This only makes you think he’s hiding something, but his business is his own and he seems like a decent guy, so it can’t be anything bad. Maybe he’s just a shy person underneath everything. Either way, you enjoy spending time with him.

Currently, he’s nodding along intently to everything you have to say, eyes trailing over your face occasionally. He enjoys watching you, noting all the little quirks you have when you tell a story. He can’t even help himself when his eyes begin to drift towards your lips, wondering how they’d feel against his own, and if it’d be too early to make a move. Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t register the small shift in your voice.

“Oh, hi Jimin!” A voice interrupts you mid-sentence as you’re telling Jimin about your first year at the academy.

He turns his head, and you notice his eyes droop slightly in recognition, though his fake smile fools the girl easily enough, “oh, hi Sharen.”

“I saw you sitting by the roses and I just knew I had to come say hello,” she giggles, twirling a strand of her hair with her finger.

Checking your phone for the time, you shift uncomfortably. Sharen is one of the most popular Powers of the school. She has the ability to control plants, of which you were envious of in first year, before you got to know how rude she is to everyone who doesn’t have an elemental power.

“Oh shit, it’s getting late,” you say, your chair making a small scraping noise as you push it back to stand up. “I better get going.”

“No, wait, (Y/n),” Jimin goes to stop you, but Sharen gets in his way.

“It was nice talking with you, let me know when you’re free to work more on the project,” you shoot him a tight smile before rushing off, not wanting to remain under her scrutinizing gaze any longer.

Jimin hardly gets to watch you leave as Sharen steps into his line of vision once more, going on and on about something he really doesn’t care about. He sits back in his chair, defeated, but also irritated at Sharen for interrupting such a nice time he was having with you. Now, he zones her out, thinking about you, and how this evening could have went instead.

Maybe he could have invited you back to his dorm to watch a movie, getting to know each other more. He was hoping to at least graze your arm and get a sense of how you feel around him, but it looks like that will have to wait for a while longer. Even though he’s only known you for about a week, he can tell he’s starting to fall, and fall hard.

Instead, in order to keep up the appearance he’s created for himself, he watches Sharen, now in your spot ramble on about how powerful and in control of her powers she is. He nearly rolls his eyes at this, for he couldn’t care less. He hears enough of this shit at home.

Using the same strategy you just did, he checks his phone, but instead, he acts like he’s gotten a text from his parents. He goes to leave, but Sharen grabs his arm and he hates how he can suddenly feel her emotions. She’s disappointed, but also curious, not to mention interested in him. That much is clear even without him being an empath.

“You know, I’m here for you Jimin,” she says, attempting to be sincere but coming across as fake as she is to everyone else. “If you ever need somebody, for any reason, anything at all, I’m here.”

He nearly shivers in disgust at the shift in emotions he feels come from her, as well as the double meaning of her words. He’d rather stick a thorn in palm of his hand, and then set it on fire.

Still, he politely thanks her before taking off back to his dorm room for the evening. Appearances are everything, or so he’s been conditioned to believe. If you can’t make friends of your enemies, you’ll never be able to get far in this life.

The next month passes by fairly quickly, and before you know it, midterms have arrived. Luckily for you, both you and Jimin managed to get your first topic choice for your project, so you’re grateful for that. You’ve been meeting every Saturday for an hour or two to discuss the project and do some research on your topic, and you’ve both grown closer during this time.

You’ve caught some of his stray thoughts around you when he begins to think too loudly, and even though you do your best to block him out, it doesn’t work. Some thoughts just want to be heard, not to mention the ones that people want you to hear. Though, you doubt he wants you to hear him thinking about kissing you, or even giving you a lingering hug. It’s just a simple crush, at least, that’s what you tell yourself.

He hasn’t made any type of move yet, so you can safely say you’re not leading him on. Nor have you given him false hope, for you’ve never really talked about relationships before, and you’d like to keep it that way for as long as possible. Besides, you can tell Sharen has the hots for him, and the last thing you need is to become the target for her incessant bullying by ‘getting in her way.’

Speaking of Sharen, she seems to always appear wherever you and Jimin are working. Whether it be the garden café on the last few nicer days of the season, the library, or even the mess hall, she has a habit of showing up either in the middle of your research sessions, or near the end. One time she even turned up right at the beginning and you couldn’t even get any work done.

She always has a way of getting into your head, and every time, you can hear her spewing insults and laughing at you. It’s getting quite tiresome, honestly, having to deal with her throwing herself at Jimin, and acting like a child. It doesn’t take a telepath like you to know how uncomfortable he is when she shows up. Unfortunately, she cannot take a hint.

Jimin, for one, could not be happier about spending more time with you. He knows all this time spent with one another is only making what he feels for you stronger. He really wants to ask you what your power is, since he still doesn’t know, but he holds off ever time. He’ll wait until you’re ready, he doesn’t want to push your trust.

However, every time Sharen comes along he gets closer and closer to blowing his facade. She makes him so irritable, and he hates being able to feel her attraction to him grow every time she touches him. He swears that she’s become obsessed.

The final straw for him is when she follows him back to his dorm room one evening despite the fact that he’s told her he has an important call with his parents. He sent a text to Taehyung while heading back to his room just in case, using the pretence of texting his parents to make sure Sharen didn’t suspect anything.

Once he gets to his room, he tells her, somewhat through gritted teeth, that he needs to be alone now. He opens his door only to be pushed into his room by her, and he shudders at the lust he feels seeping through her skin.

“Okay, I’m going to be level with you,” she begins, holding his wrists in her hands as she pins him to the wall, “I’ve had my eyes on you since the minute you walked into this goddamn academy, and for some reason, you’ve ignored every single fucking advance I’ve made. I want you, but you don’t want me. Why is that?”

He figures it’s a rhetorical question, but he answers anyways, “I’m sorry, Sharen, I don’t like you in that way. I think you’re a nice girl, but-“

“But what?” She nearly shrieks, grip tightening on his wrists. “Am I not good enough for you? For the mighty Park,” the way she spits his family’s name makes him cringe.

“No, that’s not it,” he shakes his head, counting the seconds that tick by the longer she has him in her hold.

“Then what is it? Huh?” She tilts her head, eyes wide. “Don’t tell me someone else has caught your eye, I’m the hottest piece of ass in this place.” He remains quiet, and he can feel her anger and jealousy before they flash in her eyes. “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for that bitch, what was her name again…” she takes a moment to think, which only causes Jimin’s own anger to flare, “oh yeah, (Y/n). That good for nothing, bitch.”

“She’s better than you,” he snaps, eyes narrow as he glares at her.

“Excuse me,” she seethes, face contorting in anger.

“You heard me,” he spits back. “Now, get off of me.”

“I don’t think so,” she smirks, stepping closer to his body and pushing him further into the wall.

“You’re going to loosen your grip and let go of him slowly while backing away,” a deep voice breaks through the tension in the room.

Turning his head, Jimin nods in thanks to Taehyung as he uses his hypnotic voice on Sharen. Her eyes glaze over and she does what she’s been told.

“Thanks man,” Jimin says, rubbing his now red wrists to ease some of the pain in them. “I had a feeling she was going to try something.”

“Come on, let’s go tell the dean,” Taehyung motions down the hallway with his head, turning to Sharen in the next moment to instruct her what to do next while he still has her in a trance. “You’re going to come with us and tell the dean what you’ve done, and what you’ve said here tonight.”

Almost robotically, she nods her head, slowly walking out of the room and leading the way to the dean’s office. The two boys follow behind her, silently conversing with each other the whole way about what they’re going to do once they reach the office. Jimin already has a plan in mind, and he just hopes he can pull it off.

About a week ago, he remembers you saying something about the room across from yours remaining vacant for the school year. If he plays his cards right, he’s hoping to be able to move rooms. That way, he can be closer to you.

The next morning, you’re awoken to the sounds of something being moved outside your dorm room. Groggily getting out of bed to see what the commotion is all about, you open your door. It takes a moment to register that the door to the room across from yours is open, and a figure can be seen moving stuff around on the inside while some suitcases still reside in the hallway.

“Oh, good morning (Y/n),” Jimin says, shooting you a smile once he sees you standing in your doorway looking at him through sleepy eyes.

“Jimin? Is that you? What’s going on?” You rub your eyes, thinking you’re still dreaming, considering you swear you’ve heard Jimin’s voice in your head echoing the word beautiful a few times.

“You would not believe the night I’ve had,” he chuckles, grabbing his last few suitcases and rolling them into his new room.

“I really can’t even try and guess what could have possibly happened,” you say through a yawn. “What made you change rooms?”

“Well,” he pauses, taking a moment to look down the hallway to make sure no one is eavesdropping. “Sharen assaulted me last night.”

At his words, your eyes fling open, “oh my god, are you okay?”

“Fine, now, thank you,” he smiles faintly at your concern. “Luckily, it was only her grabbing my wrists and acting intimidating. Also lucky I sent a text to my friend Taehyung that she was giving me bad vibes and to come rescue me.”

“Lucky indeed,” you nod. “Still, why the sudden change of rooms?”

“Well, I felt uncomfortable staying in a room where she knows is located, considering what she did last night,” he says, and you nod once more in understanding.

“Yeah, that’s true,” you agree, crossing your arms in front of your chest as you lean against the doorframe. “Do you need any help unpacking?”

“Oh, no! I couldn’t possibly bother you any more than I have,” he replies, looking slightly embarrassed.

“Are you sure? I don’t mind keeping you some company,” you smile reassuringly at him. “Especially after the night you’ve had.”

“Only if you want to,” he replies, a blush rising to his cheeks as he thinks about you finally being in his room, even if it’s one he hasn’t even slept in himself yet.

“Sure, let me put on a sweater first,” you send him another smile before retreating back into your room to grab the aforementioned item of clothing. Not even a minute later, you’re exiting your dorm room and crossing the threshold into his. “Did you want me to close the door?”

“It’s up to you,” he replies, placing books on his desk. He wants you to decide what you’re most comfortable with, though he’d prefer it if you closed the door.

It’s like you read his thoughts, for he hears the soft click of the door closing in the next moment. He smirks to himself. Finally, he’s alone with you in his room.

You opted to close the door to give him some privacy from anyone who could walk down the hallway. You figure he probably doesn’t want people snooping in his business, considering the night he’s had. You also make sure to put your mind barrier up before anything else, just in case he has some stray thoughts. You don’t want to invade his privacy.

“Well, at least this’ll make it easier for when we want to work on our assignment,” you joke, successfully lightening the mood as you hear him let out a laugh.

“For sure,” he smiles. “Just so you know, you’re welcome in my room anytime.”

“Thanks,” you reply with a smile of your own. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

With that you offer to help him unpack once more, but he insists you simply keep him company. Sighing while shaking your head, you climb onto his unmade bed and sit against the wall. The two of you continue to make conversation with each other as he unpacks, and before you know it, it’s lunchtime.

Jimin suggests getting lunch together, but you politely decline. After all, you have some assignments you need to get done for tomorrow, plus you want to take a nap. You’re still tired from being woken up so early this morning. However, you fail to see the small pout that resides on his lips as you exit his room to retreat back into your own.

The next month flies by just as the previous one did, during which time the whole school found out about Sharen assaulting Jimin. Needless to say, she’s no longer in with the popular crowd. You’ve grown closer to Jimin still, but you’ve noticed his thoughts have become more prominent every time you’re with him, and they always seem to concern you. You do your best to block them out, but it’s as if he wants everyone to hear them. There’s no way he knows about your powers, at least, you don’t think so. However, you can never know for sure.

It’s currently Friday afternoon, and you’re sitting in your class which you share with both Eric and Jimin. You, as usual, sit beside Eric for the class, and the two of you are discussing plans for next weekend, seeing as it will be Jihyo’s birthday.

Jimin cannot help but glare at Eric as he makes you laugh once more, gripping his pencil so hard that it snaps. He’s been finding that he grows jealous easily over you lately, and he knows he should ask you out soon, before it gets out of hand. He can’t help the dark thoughts that crawl into his mind, especially at night, whispering that only he should be able to have you to himself. Nobody else deserves you, and no one else understands him like you do. You’re the only one for him, the only person he can envision a happy future with.

“Woah, dude, are you okay?” Taehyung’s voice manages to pull Jimin out of his ever consuming thoughts about you.

“Fine,” Jimin clears his throat, grabbing a new pencil out of his bag as he tosses the now broken one away.

“You don’t seem fine,” his best friend quirks a brow, gaze drifting in the direction Jimin’s is in to see what has his attention. “Ah, I see. Trouble in paradise?”

“I’m not in the mood to be teased right now, Taehyung,” Jimin says, clearly irritated.

“What? She reject you?” Taehyung muses, and that thought alone nearly sets Jimin off, yet he manages to remain calm. His emotions are all over the place lately, and he has a feeling he knows why.

You’ve been subtly pulling away from Jimin since the beginning of the week. He doesn’t know what he’s done wrong, and he can’t figure out why you’ve been avoiding him. It doesn’t help that you’ve been hanging around with your friends more than usual. Only he deserves your attention, and now that you’re barely giving him any, he wants it all.

You’re scheduled to finish up the final touches on your project tomorrow with him, and he just hopes you don’t rush out. He wants to know what he did so he can fix it. He wants you.

The next twenty-four hours feel like absolute agony to him, for they pass by extremely slow. You’re supposed to come to his room around six to finish up the project, and he can hardly wait. He grabbed some food earlier just incase you’re hungry when you come over. Even if it’s in the smallest ways, he wants you to know that he’s thinking of you, that he can provide for you and take care of you.

At long last, a knock sounds at his door at six o’clock, and he practically springs off of his bed to let you into his room. Just like the first time he saw you, you manage to take his breath away. You’re so beautiful, and soon, you’ll be all his.

“Hey, you ready to finish this monster?” You smirk, stepping into his room with your laptop held in your arms.

“More than you could ever believe,” he responds, and he smiles as he hears you laugh.

“Oh, come on, I can’t be that horrible to work with, can I?” You tease, and he tenses slightly as the door falls shut.

Is that what you think? Is that the reason you’ve been avoiding him? Do you think he’ll want nothing to do with you once you’ve finished this assignment? To him, the idea is preposterous, but doubt starts to cloud his mind. He would never let you go again if he got the option, but he needs to make you his first, and let you know that he’ll always want you. You, and only you.

“Of course not!” He replies, eyes wide. “You’ve been the best partner I could have hoped for!”

“Phew,” you wipe imaginary sweat off of your forehead in mock relief, “and here I was, worried for nothing.”

The two of you share a laugh, smiles on both your faces until Jimin breaks the small silence that’s settled over the two of you.

“Hey, uh, I was wondering if you wanted to stay and watch a movie or something after we’re finished?” he asks, suddenly nervous you’ll say no. “You know, as a sort of celebration for completing the assignment?”

“Yeah, sure,” you nod, a soft smile gracing your features. “Sounds good to me.”

“Great!” Comes out a little bit too enthusiastically, which has him clearing his throat in the next moment, “shall we, then?”

“We shall,” you reply with a nod, and in the next moment, the two of you are sitting around his desk finishing off the final touches of your presentation.

About an hour passes by and you lean back in your chair, stretching your arms above your head as you let out a groan. Jimin can’t help but glance down at the small piece of skin that gets revealed to him near your stomach when you do this. He licks his lips and swallows hard.

“Well, that should do it!” You grin, letting your hands fall to your lap as you turn your gaze to him.

“I’m so glad we’re done!” He mirrors your grin.

“Ugh, an I ever tired,” you groan, standing up from your chair only to flop on top of his bed.

“Me too,” he says, joining you on the bed.

He lays on his side, staring at your figure as your chest rises and falls with every breath you take. So badly he wants to reach over and cup your cheek with his hand, leaning over to kiss you to celebrate a job well done. He settles on memorizing your features for now.

“You got any snacks, I’m starving,” you say, sitting up in order to shift your position to leaning against the wall.

“Huh? Oh, yeah,” he shakes his head, seemingly distracted.

Standing up, he pops open his mini-fridge as well as a small cupboard filled with various foods and drinks. He notices your expression of awe and can’t help but smile. A warmth fills his chest at knowing he’s made you speechless, in a good way. Of which he hopes to do many times tonight, and throughout the rest of your lives.

“Are those what I think they are?” You gasp, hopping off the bed to pull out a familiar red package which contains your favourite snacks from when you were a kid. Your eyes sparkle with nostalgia as you rip open the package, “gosh, I haven’t had these since I was a kid. My parents would always take me and my brother to the cottage in the summer and would buy these for us for the car ride.”

“You have a brother?” He inquires, face reflecting the surprise he feels. In all the weeks you’ve been getting to know each other, you’ve not once mentioned having a brother.

Immediately, your expression falls, “yeah.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I guess that might be a tender subject for you, given that you haven’t mentioned him before,” Jimin says, face showing clear concern for you at how sad you look all of a sudden. He lets the door to the fridge fall shut.

“No, it’s okay,” you shake your head, lips twitching upwards briefly. “It’s not like he’s dead.”

You take a seat on the edge of his bed, snacks still held in your hand. You lean forwards slightly, staring at the floor.

“What happened?” He sits beside you, close, but not too close. “If you’re okay with telling me, of course.”

“I haven’t heard from him or my parents since they dropped my off here at school,” you begin, biting your lower lip. “Ever since they found out I had powers, they’ve treated me differently. They’re nice enough to my face and for appearances sake, but they always treat him better. He’s the normal one in a normal family. He got into a good school, kept good grades, always did what they wanted him to. They always cared more about him than me, and he knows it. He knows he’s better than me.”

“Oh, sweetheart, you know that’s not true,” he places a gentle hand on your shoulder in comfort, and he’s hit with a wave of emotions. Sadness, anger, bitterness, resentment.

“It is, though. He’s told me so himself,” you chuckle humourlessly as tears dot your vision. You don’t know why you’re getting so worked up over your family all of a sudden. Maybe it’s because you’ve kept it all bottled up inside since you’ve been dropped off at school this year. You continue, “my parents thought I was crazy when I was a child. So much so that they shamed me for the power I developed, and I don’t like having it. I’m not normal to them, I’m a mistake.”

“You are not a mistake,” his voice is soft, comforting, as his hand draws small circles on your back. He can feel your sadness growing with each passing second, and he’ll do anything to cheer you up, but he doesn’t know how. “You’re one of the smartest people I know. You’re beautiful and caring, both inside and out. I’m glad I met you, for I feel like you’re the only one who truly knows me, and sees me for who I am. You’re special, and you shouldn’t let anyone take that away from you.”

You send him a weak smile, “thanks Jimin, thats very sweet of you.”

“And hey, I’ll let you in on a little secret,” he takes a deep breath, “I’ve known my power since I was eight, but my parents were so ashamed it wasn’t a power like theirs that they shamed me into hiding it from others. People expect so much from me because of my family, but I’m just me. Just like you’re just you, and you shouldn’t change a goddamn thing about yourself because to me, you’re perfect.”

“Jimin, I’m so sorry,” you meet his gaze, and he can sense the slight shift in your emotions at his words. “Your parents are wrong. I’m sure your power is wonderful no matter what it is.”

“Empathy,” a small smile tugs at his lips. “I’m an empath.”

“That’s perfect,” you smile at him, and his heart soars. “How does it-“

“Work?” He finishes for you, and at seeing your curious nod, he continues, “through touch. When I touch someone, I can feel exactly what they’re feeling.”

“Oh,” you say, glancing at where his hand is, now touching your shoulder.

“Don’t worry, it was more for comfort than wanting to know what you were feeling,” he assures you, and you nod slowly.

You meet his gaze once more, “thank you for sharing that with me.”

“Thank you for telling me about your brother,” he replies, staring deeply into your eyes.

He can feel your emotions changing, the sadness becoming drowned out by a feeling of comfort and calm, but also, nervousness. He wants to pry deeper, to know everything you’re feeling in this moment, but he dwells at the surface, not wanting to overstep his boundaries at the moment. The two of you have just shared an intimate, emotional experience with each other, and he doesn’t want to ruin it.

His heart nearly beats out of his chest when he notices you glance down at his lips. He can feel the curiosity growing in you, the spark of interest, and he cannot let this opportunity go to waste. This is his chance, and he takes it.

Slowly, so as not to scare you away, he trails his hand to your lower back, shifting closer to you ever so slightly. He begins to lean in, and he can feel the anticipation building within you. Your eyes flutter closed.

The moment his lips meet yours, it feels as if fireworks are igniting within his entire body. The feeling of your lips against his feels so natural, so right, that he never wants it to end. He pulls you closer, bringing his other hand up to cup your cheek gently, stroking his thumb over your skin. This is all he’s ever dreamed of, and more.

Deepening the kiss, he hears the snack bag in your hands fall to the floor, pushing you back onto his bed as he settles on top of you. His heart races in his chest and he has to pull away to catch his breath. Staring deeply into your eyes, he smiles, diving in for another kiss, much more heated this time around.

The two of you lay there for a few minutes, simply letting your lips explore the other. He can’t help but smirk at the gasp you let out when you feel him bite down on your neck, nibbling softly on the skin. He wants to mark you all over tonight, and make sure that when everyone sees the marks he’s left on you, they know that you’re his.

He pulls away, and he can sense some hesitance on your part, reluctance swirling beneath the surface of your skin that’s come on so suddenly. He parts from your body when he feels your hands on his chest pushing him off of you, confusion evident on his face.

Rolling onto his side, concern crosses his features as he watches you get up from his bed. Immediately, he sits up, thinking he’s done something to upset you when all he wants is for you to be back in his arms.

“(Y/n), I-“

“I should really go,” you cut him off before he can say anything else. “It’s late. Goodnight.”

With that, you’re grabbing your laptop and exiting his room without a single glance back at him.

To say Jimin is stunned would be an understatement. He thought things were going well between the two of you and that opening up to each other was a sign you trusted one another. He thought you were making progress, he thought you were finally becoming his.

A groan of frustration escapes his lips as he falls back onto his pillow. For a fleeting minute, you were his, laying beneath him, letting out the cutest sounds for him, and only him. Yet something, something scared you away.

Maybe he moved too fast at first, or was expecting too much from you. God, he’d never force you into anything like that. Never in a million years; he’d hate himself if that ever happened. He just hopes that you know that.

Letting out a sigh, he stares at his ceiling. Sleep won’t come easily to him tonight, not with these thoughts of you racing through his head, and most certainly not when only minutes ago he had you in his bed, beneath him, kissing you.

He closes his eyes, recalling the soft feel of your lips against his, the way you tasted. How he wishes it could have lasted longer, that he could have shown you exactly how he feels for you. So badly he wants you to know that you’re the only one for him, the only one he loves, the only one he’ll ever love.

He lets his mind wander, allowing for images of how the night could have went to fill his mind and take over his senses until the only thing he can think of, is you.

Meanwhile, you quickly get ready for bed once you’re back in your own room, making sure to double check the lock on your door before sliding underneath the covers. Your eyes are wide open as you stare at your ceiling, recalling exactly the moment that made you hightail and book it out of Jimin’s room.

Your mental block was up, but it began to slip the longer Jimin kissed you, causing you to lose your grip on reality. Just as you were getting ready to let the barricade drop, seeing as you trusted him, a wave of possessive thoughts entered your mind.

To say you were shocked would be an understatement. The darkness you felt surrounding his thoughts scared you. Never have you heard, or felt, anything like it before. You worried for yourself and what he might have done once he actually got you to himself. You’re not even dating, and he’s having these kinds of thoughts where just a glimpse at them has you running away.

Now, you’re pulled out of your own thoughts about the matter when you hear your name being whispered in your mind. It sounds like Jimin, and you have no idea how he’s managed to penetrate your walls.

You concentrate, focussing on strengthening your mental blockade, and it works for a few minutes until another call of your name breaks through. Furrowing your brow, you wonder how he’s managing to do such a thing, for you know he’s not a telepath, and you’re pretty sure he doesn’t know that you’re one.

With each passing moment, you can feel his thoughts getting louder, getting stronger, and you are horrified all the same. Your eyes are wide open as you can hear his thoughts clear as day, ringing through your head, painting a vivid portrait of what he’s imagining.

Doing you best to block out the images, your heart pounds. One second you see yourself beneath him with your arms around his shoulders and your legs wrapped around his waist as he rolls his hips into yours. The next, your hands are bound to the bed frame as he eats you out, a blindfold covering your eyes. Soon, another image of you riding him slowly, sensually, fills your mind, his praises following shortly after.

You can hear each and every thought he has during these moments, overcome with the need to make you his. To show the world that you belong to him, and only him. A shudder of disgust runs down your spine as you hear him think about how he’ll be able to feel your pleasure through touching you during these times, only increasing his own pleasure at the same time.

His thoughts demand to be heard, to be seen, and no matter how hard you try to block them out, you can’t.

You can tell he’s come after a few minutes, for the vivid images have finally stopped, and now he’s thinking about basking in your afterglow. Luckily, you’re able to block him out now, but the damage has been done.

His thoughts screamed his love for you, but what you felt was not love. It is obsession, a need to possess you and keep you all to himself. You need to keep away from him, before this situation becomes worse than it already is. And to think, all of this was just because you were nice to him and treated him like a regular person.

Finally, you manage to get some sleep, but your dreams are filled with nightmares of Jimin always chasing you and never being able to let you go. To say you don’t sleep well would be an understatement.

For the entire week, you manage to avoid him. Rushing off when you see him approaching you in the hallways, and ignoring his calls. Even the students have started whispering about it, wondering why anyone could ever ignore Park Jimin, the nicest guy in school. However, you know the truth, that beneath that facade is a dark monster lurking beneath the surface, waiting to strike.

To Jimin, that week feels like an eternity of agony. He doesn’t understand why you’re avoiding him, and it drives him crazy. Every time he sees you giving your attention to someone who is not him, someone undeserving of you, it causes his blood to boil. That should be him you’re giving all your attention to, not anyone else.

Your presentation is in a few days’ time, which worries you. You know you have to practice in order to get a good mark, and you’ll have to make sure you both have your facts down. At least after this, you can avoid him for good.

The whole time you practise the presentation with him in the library the night before the presentation, you expect him to confront you about what happened in his room the last time the two of you saw each other. As much as it pains him though, he’s decided to let you approach the subject first. He doesn’t want to push you away, nor make you run away from him again. If you go back to ignoring him after your presentation, he doesn’t know what he’s going to do.

Soon enough, your presentation comes and goes, and the two of you end up getting the best mark in the class, of which you could not be happier about. You notice Jimin still looking gloomy, and he scowls when he sees you hug Eric out of happiness. He’s getting tired of waiting for you to go to him. No matter, he has a plan in mind, and in order to set it in motion, he’ll need to make a few calls.

That evening, a knock on your door pulls you out of the notes you’re currently reviewing. Standing up, you stretch briefly before moving over to see who could be at your door at this time of night. Opening your door reveals Jimin standing there with his jaw clenched, clearly not happy.

“I need to talk to you,” he says, not even giving you a chance to respond before barging into your room.

“Jimin, what the hell, you can’t just barge into my room like this,” you say, crossing your arms in front of your chest as the door falls shut.

“Why have you been avoiding me?” He cuts straight to the point, turning around to face you, eyes dark as he meets your gaze.

“I haven’t been avoiding you,” comes your reply, but your voice is a little too tense for your statement to be true.

“Yes, you have,” he counters, mirroring your stance. “I was worried about you, so I did some digging. Normally I don’t like using my status to do these things but you left me no choice.”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Your brow furrows.

“You’re a telepath,” he states, and you’re caught off guard.

“Excuse me?”

“I looked into you, found out everything I could,” he says, taking a step towards you to close the distance between your bodies, only for you to take a step back yourself. “I know where you were born, where you grew up, everything about your family, even your power which you hide from everyone. But now? Now I understand why you’ve been avoiding me. Well, partially. While doing my research I happened to find out that you’ve been practicing mental blocks, so I looked into it. Turns out, if you experience high emotions, or if another person in close range experiences high emotions, it can penetrate that defence occasionally.”

“What are you implying here?” You frown, taking another step back as he takes another forwards.

“You know exactly what I’m getting at,” he smirks as your back hits the wall. “Obviously, despite your mental block, you’ve overheard some of my thoughts about you, though I don’t know why you don’t like them. I don’t like playing this card, but I’m a fairly desirable man with a powerful family, and I can give you everything you’ve ever wanted. I only want for you to become mine.”

“What makes you think I’ll agree,” you reply, eyes narrowed slightly at him. “I don’t care about any of that.”

“That’s exactly why I love you,” he hums, amused. “I knew you were going to say that, and I also knew you wouldn’t agree willingly. So, I made some more calls. Turns out I’m getting to that age where my parents think it’s best for me to get engaged, and who better to have as a daughter-in-law to my parents than a simple girl who came from a regular family. Humbles the Park family in the public eye while simultaneously keeping up appearances. Shows we’re not so narrow-minded about Powers. Besides, it’s the least they can do for me after the hell they’ve subjected me to.”

“I will never marry you, you’re delusional,” you say, leaning your head as far away from him as you can as he presses himself against you, successfully pinning you to the wall.

“See, that’s where you’re wrong, sweetheart,” his grin turns sinister. “Your parents have already agreed to the arrangement, and there’s going to be an announcement in the morning about our engagement. Who’s going to believe you, anyways? Everyone knows me as the kind son and heir of the Park family. You’re mine, whether you like it or not.”

“I can’t believe you,” you swallow the lump that’s in your throat.

“No, no, don’t be scared, baby,” he coos, bringing his hand up to stroke your cheek. “I would never hurt you, I love you too much.”

“You really expect me to love you after all of this? Forcing me into a marriage I don’t want?” You seethe, pushing him off of you and causing him to stumble back a few paces.

“You’ll warm up to it eventually,” he chuckles, “and in time, you’ll be consumed by my love just as I’ve been consumed by you. Now, let’s go to bed, we’ve got a big day tomorrow. After all, soon the whole world is going to know that you’re going to be my wife.”

⁑ Haikyuu Headcanons based on my irrefutable scientific research ⁑

YO-HOOOO! It’s been a while (like 3 months hejfksd) but I felt like doing some shit-posting since that is my profession and sharing my late night HQ headcanon thots, a Christmas miracle amirite?

{Contains some NSFW content}

Tanaka and Noya have a spotify playlist that serves the sole purpose of being blasted before practise to get them hyped up and it drives Daichi insane. It most definitely includes Big Time Rush on it.

Sugawara loves going for early morning walks to watch the sunrise and it makes me so soft omg.

Daichi likes his coffee black, I’m talking bitter as hell.

Kageyama once as a kid tried to bite into a banana without peeling it and is now traumatised bc his whole family laughed at him, kinda has a grudge against bananas now.

Noya drinks too much Monster energy like dear god his kidneys are going to cry.

Hinata sits in the bathtub and sticks his feet out in front of him and watches as his toes curl and uncurl, amused much like a toddler would be lmao. He does this when he is thinking intensely too, like you cant see it but his toes are definitely furling and unfurling when he is contemplating something.

When Kuroo is having a bad day he’s the type to joke about it and laugh it off, remaining strong for the team but then goes home and sits in a dark room crying and listening to Frank Ocean. He also frequently has nightmares and if he has a partner he will wrap his arms around them during the middle of the night for some security. Fuck the bad boy Kuroo trope he is such a secret softie.

Kenma has the cutest yawn, like everyone always goes so soft when they hear this bby cat boy let one out. It’s the equivalent of laying your head on a feathery pillow, it makes you so sleepy. It’s contagious.

When Oikawa has a partner he always calls them after practise to whine dramatically about how his body aches, obviously expecting them to baby him. He’s a slut for shoulder rubs.

Tendou ironically joked about having a foot fetish for so long as a meme, but then actually sucked some toes for a joke and was like “ayo why my pp hard bruh” From that point on he realised it is most definitely not a joke. When memes transcend irony and become a reality.

Tsukishima has a long skinny dick that dangles like a fucking pendulum when he hops outta the shower. I don’t make the rules bruh. Yamaguchi is aware of this and sometimes says “Ahaaa it’s ya boy UhhhHHH--- skinny penis” when he walks into the room and Tsukki HATES him for it.

Asahi owns a very cute scarf collection that screams coffee shop hipster, homie got style.

Kiyoko has incredible taste in music, a lot of soft beats with catchy melodies.

Yachi frequently questions her sexuality, and has most definitely taken one of those “what’s your sexuality?” quizzes on Uquiz mid-crisis lmaoo.

Iwaizumi loves varsity jackets and looks incredible in them, he rocks the 90′s American high school style.

Temperature doesn’t affect Kageyama as much as the average person, though he greatly prefers cold weather to hot, his teammates question how he can run in like -5 temperatures in shorts, literal monster.

Daishou’s first time with Mika included him slipping over a pair of discarded socks on the way to the bed and Mika had to stifle a laugh in order to not fully kill the mood, she still brings it up offhandedly to this day and it kills him inside a little more each time.

Ushijima goes to bed at like 8-9pm and Tendou makes fun of him for it frequently.

Tanaka and Noya giggle at any mention of the numbers 69 and 420. The teacher once mentioned 69 in an equation and they started snickering like kids in the back of class. They often quote old vines and high-five anyone who understands the references.

Kageyama refuses to nut several days before a match as he is convinced it drains his stamina and boosts his concentration. The other teammates thought it was bizarre when they found out.

Death Note and Godliness, or, Who's the Real God — Kira (Raito), or L Lawliet? A Short Cross-Linguistic Overview.¹

Abstract: this short linguistic overview on Death Note is going to include Hebrew and Japanese, in an attempt to prove a point. It is also going to include IPA, so, if your device can't show IPA symbols, it's a You problem.

Introduction

Death Note is a Manga series, on which an Anime was based. The anime series has one season, and just under 40 episodes. To those unfamiliar, here's a recap: Raito Yagami (or Light Yagami in English) is a gifted child who grew up to be more successful in high school than you, is smart as fuck, and also athletic. He's Toni Kroos with a complete Abitur and parents who aren't athletes, and he also was born in Japan, and not Eastern Germany. But they're both Ugly But Some People Find Them Hot. Light is bored af because he's still got that gifted shit going well for him in high school, and he's very clean, and doesn't like to see people (or beings, which soon will be explained) littering.

Ryuk is a Shinigami (death god in Japanese lore) who does like littering. He's also very bored of doing shifts and killing people. Both Light and Ryuk are really bored. Completely unfittingly, the first chapter/episode (i don't remember tbh) is titled "Boredom".

In the anime, death is done by shinigamis, but instead of like, reaping or whatever death is doing in some beliefs, they write names in their notebooks called "Death Note". This is a clear reference to people writing names in notebooks and circling them with hearts, as i have demonstrated in another article.²

Back to Ryuk, the littering Shinigami. Ryuk, in his deep and painful boredom, decides to sow some wind, and thinks, that since he's not your conventional reaper, he won't reap storms.

Thus, Ryuk, while sitting on a cloud like some angel in these ugly stickers that would stand for lots of copyright lawsuits had the renaissance ninja turtles were alive, lets go of his Death Note and litters the Earth.

It falls in Light's school grounds, he even sees it from the window (he apparently doesn't have my dad's 10-6 eyesight and can't read or see what exactly is ht e thing that falls. In true Non-ADHD fashion, he proceeds to listen in class, and waits patiently until he has time, goes downstairs, and picks up the litter, aka the Death Note. Light, unaware this is s Death Note, understands that the sky can't litter, and decides to look inside, in case someone wrote his name and circled it with hearts. It is not the case, as it is, as mentioned, a Death Note.

fig. 1 – the Death Note user's manual

Light is quite curious. First of all, why doesn't it have his name with hearts? (Because he's narcissist). He takes it home to take better look at that black elementary school-like notebook.

In his Man-cave, he takes this better look he was planning on taking. and sees the user's manual in fig. 1.

He, of course, thinks it's a joke. Because he's very Smart, he thinks it's a dumb joke.

This doesn't, however, prevent him from trying it anyhow. While he is very curious, and Very Atheist and shit, he still doesn't take unnecessary risks, and writes the name of a criminal who appears on the news.

And, surprise! The criminal dies and Light is sure it's a coincidence, but Ryuk, the Littering Shinigami, visits Light and says, "Aye, it's the real deal m'dude. M'ma'am, with great power comes great responsibility, don't forget that" and eats Light's apple whole. No one but Light can see Ryuk because of something something.

fig. 2 — light and ryuk walking (and flying but very low) down the street.³

Light, the Good (non) Samaritan he is, uses it on other criminals, with some weird muscle seizures while writing. His second use of the Death Note is also noteworthy, when he saves a woman being harassed and assaulted by a biker, whose name he already heard before.

After that, Light begins looking up all criminal databases, and writes criminals' names that he finds in the Death Note. He does that without adding a CoD⁴, so it'll be clear someone is behind all these deaths; in my article,² i mention how i believe he does it both as a plot device, but also because he's very uncreative.

This gets into his head, however, and he proclaims he's gonna be God of that world. A perfect world with no crime and all that. He calls himself Kira (basically pronuncing Killer in Japanese, where there's no L sound). He says he's justice, god, blah blah blah idc.

Enter L. L is a detective like Sherlock but smarter, better, and not as Gary Stu as Sherlock. Also not British and doesn't look like a dead groundhog covered in vegemite.

L doesn't show his face, but only a letter. L. But he kinda seduces light to kill a killer Lindon B. johnson but only with Ls (Lindon Lee Lindman?) whose been captured but nothing about him was published. Very secret, much undercover. L knows now where Kira (Light) is, which is, well, in some areas in Japan (as in, he knows which area, idr which).

L is the second main character, with Light. Because if this, we will not cover Light's girlfriend who's all misogynistic stereotypes into a character, Makami GodFetish who nuts when someone says Kira; Near and Melo who are like L but kids.

This article is my attempt of explaining why, in my opinion, L is God, and not Light.

Death Note and Godliness, or, Who's the Real God — Kira (Raito), or L Lawliet? A Cross-Linguistic Overview.

Shinigamis are sort of gods. They're Death Gods, and can't be killed.

Light is killed at some point. In the manga it's pretty saddening and like, dramatic. L also dies (:sadyeehaw:), but I still think he's the God in the story.

While others might give the canon and use quotes, I'm using my preferred method of, as you might've guessed from the title, linguistics. Now, i don't have Linguistics degree nor do I know Japanese, but for this article, i use Hebrew and English with simple Japanese to explain my theory of why L is God.

I shall start with the Japanese name, Eru. Eru is the Japanese pronunciation of the name of the letter L (ʔell→ʔeɾɯ̥). It is canonically translated in English to ell, and his symbol, L, is depicted in both manga and anime afaik.

If so, L's name is El, which, coincidentally, is the romanization of the Hebrew word אֵל (ʔel) , meaning God.

And so, L = El = אל = god.

Conclusion

In this article, I have attempted to prove, through linguistic comparison, how L is God. I find myself to be very correct and I hope you too. If not, it's okay, it's not like i can relate to it, idk what it's like to be a dumdum.

I hope you liked it and that it'll help y'all when in academia.

Yours,

Me.

¹ this article was written after exchanges with a colleague of mine with Linguistics degree who's watched Death Note, in which i have expressed how i believe L was God all along because of his name. I then proceeded to write this article and ignored her for more than an hour. Sorry sis, ily.

² lmaoo never written that article. Will do if somebody asked me to tho.

³ fig. 2 was edited by me on my phone with an outdated system, and i couldn't change the direction of the labels. Not ashamed to admit it is a Me problem.

⁴ Cause of Death. While I do wish Light played some CoD (Call of Duty), he didn't. If he did, he wouldn't be bored as he'd be a gamer, and have games to play before he's all bored and starts using that Death Note.

Hey i hope its ok to request something. If not just ignore this. Can you do some salt and pepper mantis shrimp general headcanons? I love your writing by the way💙

Hell yea cyberpunk babe time

• This man? Right here? He’s? Complicated.

• Getting into a friendship with him is hard enough.

• He straight up won’t trust you for a really long time, doesn't matter who you are.

• You thought Boston was hard to win over? Y’all aren’t ready for pepper.

• Honestly the best way to get him to really trust you is to be here for him but distant at the same time. Don’t be overbearing, but do small favors and little pieces of kindness for him.

• Don’t get it wrong, this isn’t a game of “waiting for him to come around” as much as it’s proving your willingness to be patient, and able to give him space.

• He doesn’t make himself easy to love, and he doesn’t feel love easily.

• how you treat others directly affects how he sees you.

• He’s very watchful of you, and honestly very nervous.

• He doesn’t trust you at all at first, he tends to watch over you in less of a protective sense and more of a… “keeping an eye on your enemy” kind of way.

• You unknowingly prove to him your kindness, and it kinda stuns him honestly. He’s used to seeing the worst of humans, so seeing genuine care is…. weird.

• When you notice he isn’t hanging over your shoulder as much, that’s when you can start getting closer.

• His favorite is spinach noodles, but honestly any food you give him he’s pretty grateful for, even if he doesn’t vocalize that.

• He doesn’t have vocal manners at all honestly. Saying your “please-and-thank-yous” was never something that was really… important in his past.

• Surprisingly it will be….. technically both of you who makes the first move

• when he’s fairly confident you’re trustworthy he decides to just keep you close and protect you with all he’s got. That doesn’t necessarily mean romantic, so you’re the one who makes that move.

• Blunt honesty is best. If he senses any jokes or teasing he won’t even consider believing what you’re saying.

• If he feels you’re being honest, he’ll most likely retract for a day or two before coming back to you and simply sitting down close to you. He’ll try to say something in reply, but he can’t seem to get it past his tongue.

• Hold the pepper boys hand, he’ll melt.

• His prosthetic arm might also jump in temperature so make sure that’s not the hand you’re holding lmao

• From that point it’s just as slow as befriending him is.

• A good way to reassure him is with food. Boys got a pretty fuckin big appetite. He won’t eat around you though, that requires taking off the mask. He takes to a room without people and happily munches.

• A great way to get closer to him is…. keeping cute band-aids on your person!

• His skin is actually pretty sensitive and he gets cuts and bruises pretty easily.

• He’ll reject the cute little characters and designs on the band-aids at first but they kinda grow on him, eventually he’s covered in cute cat ban-daids head to toe.

• Will actually melt inside if you stick a band-aid on yourself to match him, even if you’re not hurt.

• You walk out the bathroom with pastel pink bandaids on your nose and he’s thinking “????????? Ily??????”

• He doesn’t have a lot of hobbies, he's never had the time to gain any, really.

• In hanging over your shoulder he gets an idea of what things he’ be interested in trying, though!

• He loves to look at alt fashion. He’d never really try any outfits but he might be down to pick out some for you!

• His fashion isn’t exactly… mainstream? But it is unique and strangely appealing!

• You will be hanging out a lot with Boston lobster. He admires him above all else so, be prepared for that lmao

• Will most likely quietly gush about you to Boston if Boston asks. Only if you’re not around though because he could never say these things to your face lmaoo

• doesn’t really let you touch his prosthetic arm, he’s worried it’ll hurt you.

• He’s also very insecure about it in general.

• Showing interest or complimenting his arm greatly catch him off guard, they’re actually his favorite compliments, even if he has trouble accepting them.

• Shrimp himself is actually a very jealous and possessive person.

• The people he claims as ‘his people’ are under his constant watch, and anyone he deems as dangerous or even just mildly annoying will not be met with any sort of kindness.

• If he catches or finds out about anyone flirting with you, especially a human, he has no problem sorting this… problem with violence.

• Lord help anyone who dares try to touch you, I sincerely hope they had a good life because he’s sending them to god in 500 pieces.

• He definitely prefers indoor dates, far far away from anyone else.

• He’d prolly absolutely love a video game date.

• His favorite games are story based, stuff like the last of us, beyond: two souls, farcry 3-5, etc

• Detroit: becoming human really struck a chord with him, he adores that game.

• Doesn’t like multiplayer as much since it requires talking to people

• His ultimate show of trust is sleeping around you.

• He’s very nervous to test around others, even Boston to a degree, him taking a nap around you means more than you think.

• Would feel very emotional cuddling with you, especially if you fell asleep.

• He takes it as a sign of trust on your part as well.

• His favorite position to cuddle is where you’re both on your side, facing each other. Likes to tuck your head under his chin and rest an arm loosely over your waist.

• Takes a while for him to fall asleep because he’s just not used to this level of affection, but that doesn’t mean he’s not savoring every second.

• Will take a long time to take off the mask. I’m talking l o n g.

• There’s a lot of speculation on what he looks like, personally I think he’s got a normal looking face but has big fangs.

• Like, some serious chompers.

• He knows literally nothing about intimacy, that definitely includes kissing.

• At first there’s… a lot of teeth in his kisses lmao rip

• he loves ghosting his teeth over your skin, just to see how you squirm.

• Loves to bite around the junction of your shoulder, the back of your neck, and lightly nibble on your wrists

• Hickies from him make you look like you got attacked by a rabid rat lmao

• He feels a twinge of pride when anyone asks “what happened to your neck?”

• “I happened, disgusting human.”

• Once he does start getting comfortable with affection his possessiveness gets cranked up a lot, as he gets a tad clingy!

• “Hmm? No, don’t get up yet. It’s…. comfortable here.”

• Overall he’s a nervous, untrusting boy who finally found someone worth trusting in.

• He will not let that go anytime soon.

Oh, well like a stereotypical Briton I do drink tea, specifically green tea, but on average I prefer coffee - I usually just have tea when it’s too late for coffee

But either way, that isn’t what I meant 😅

After a bit of research, I think the confusion comes from different countries calling the same thing different names

So whilst in America I’m pretty sure you guys have Breakfast, lunch and Dinner as your three meals of the day, we call it Breakfast, Dinner ((sometimes called lunch)) and Tea

Which is confusing, having tea be both a drink name and a meal name, so sorry for not clarifying 😂

Also, if not too much trouble, would you let me know how your dance goes? Sorry, it’s just ever since you mentioned you do dance I’ve found it super interesting!!! I will say though, that after a quick Google search to confirm they were what I thought they were, pointe shoes really don’t look comfy

(((Also sorry if that’s creepy I don’t mean it to be 😰)))

And yes I agree!!! Naps are for everyone, except kids - this is the new social movement, reclaiming naps from children who barely take them anyway 😂

- 🦋

OOOHHH thanks for explaining 😅 i've heard that a couple of times but i completely forgot about that hsjsksk but thank you for clarifying!

and sorry what do you mean by how it goes?? like what it's usually like or how it goes tonight like was it good or bad?? and yeahhh they are definitely not the most comfortable lmaoo they are pretty painful. i've gotten a break over the summer which has been nice because my feet are finally back to normal now lmao but im starting back up now so it's probably gonna be a bit rough lol but yeah pointe is pretty painful, but for some reason i love pointe (i'm not even joking i'm the only person on my team who still does pointe, after a year or two no one wanted to do it anymore lol so my teacher just has me wear pointe shoes during normal ballet classes and i'm the only one lmao) but yeah definitely not very comfy. they're really hard, i have to break mine in by literally snapping the soles with my hands before i can dance in them. everyone has a different process of how they sew and break in their shoes, some never break the soles with their hands but i always do. and then i crush the box (the box is the end of the shoe like the more square part) so i can roll through them while wearing them. and other stuff like slamming them in doors and banging them against the floor, yeah they are pretty hard lol but it's cause it has to serve as a base to basically hold your foot up since you're only standing on really your big, second, and middle toe. but we have toe pads that we wear and those are great, they're basically like 1/4 of a sock that just goes over your toes. some have gel on the insides too. i usually wear toe pads with new pointe shoes, and then once they start to die (which is pretty quick lmao) i put a little lambs wool at the toe of the shoe along with my toe pads because i find that my box lasts a lot longer with the lambs wool because it keeps my toes from digging into the platform of the shoe and wearing it downs. that was probably very over explained but you said you were interested so i'm using this to infodump shsjsks

and right!! kids have enough energy they don't need em, we do lmao i will 100% be joining to the social movement as well

beautiful faces - rafe cameron

rafe cameron x kook!reader

tw; alcohol and hard drugs mentioned. it’s rafe cameron, people.

not requested (but i got someone to say they wanted it lmaoo); song fic based on beautiful faces by declan mckenna. the reader watches rafe cameron fade away from them and ruin his life, straying from the life they once had.

a/n -- i fucking LOVE declan mckenna. i’ve been listening to him since like 2016. also i’m still in love with drew starkey. anyways. stream the key to life on earth for clear skin and serotonin.

------

and as the earth returned to calmly dress itself in white we got a glimpse of all the people going out tonight big guys and little guys, and bad guys in cuffs i bet they can’t get enough

“jeez, rafe, will you slow down?” you called after your best friend, chasing him around his house.

fourteen year old you and rafe cameron. inseparable, bound to take over the world. you two were partners in crime, best friends, and the young rulers of the kooks on the island.

“come on, this isn’t gonna be any fun if we don’t get to see it.” he laughed back at you, trying to keep himself quiet. you caught up to him as he snuck through the back door of his house, putting your hand on his shoulder to let him know you were there.

his parents were holding a party, and both of you knew that when your people got drunk and partied, something was going to go wrong. that was what made people watching at your age so fun. sitting up at the top of the spiral stairs, you two were able to look down at all of your neighbors and family friends.

“is he doing coke?” you whispered eagerly, pointing at a chubby man in a suit who was hunched over next to the door.

“who is it?” rafe huddled up next to you, nodding. “probably.” he gave you his answer, and you couldn’t help but laugh in shock. man, things got crazy.

“rafe cameron?” you could hear his dad calling his name, which meant you two were definitely busted.

“shit!” you whispered to him, dragging him further up the stairs, running to his room.

you two were on top of the world when you spent your summers together, promising each other you wouldn’t end up too much like your parents, spending every waking second together.

tonight i wanna be on broadway and in cabaret tonight i must go out and celebrate st. patrick’s day tonight i must demand a raise so i can grab, let’s say some part replacements and strawberry laces, no spaces

“y/n, will you come to this one single party?” sixteen year old rafe was sitting at the desk in your room, turned around so he could face you as you dug through dresses that sat on your bed.

“for the millionth time, cameron, my dad would kill me. and you. and then we wouldn’t be able to steal the boat this weekend for our little atlantic camping trip.” you responded to him, holding up a shimmery blue dress to your body. “how’s this one for midsummers?”

“but parties are way better than spending two days out on your dad’s boat.” rafe complained, getting up out of the chair. “i like it, but the yellow one goes better with the suit i’m supposed to wear.”

you two were still best friends. it just seemed like he had more friends that were more important.

he partied more, drank more, and you always cleaned up the mess. you wanted to, though, that was what best friends did.

at least he was still taking you to midsummers, just like he did every year.

“i can’t, rafe. maybe next weekend?” you spun around to face him after holding the yellow dress up to your figure.

“next weekend.” he nodded, giving you a positive expression for the dress you’d pulled out. “i have to go, but that’s definitely the one.”

“alright. love you, dumbass.” you called after him as he left your room, a smile on your face.

“you too, y/n.”

tossing the dress on your bed, you already missed the nights where you had secret sleepovers in his bedroom and when you two made promises to each other you still kept.

though, you didn’t know if he kept his promises.

beautiful faces smiling over us lift your hands up and lead us back home beautiful people won’t remember you, honey i bet you can’t get enough

“holy shit, how fucking drunk are you?” you laughed, watching rafe cameron stumble by you.

eighteen now, it felt like you hadn’t gotten a moment alone with him in forever. he was scrunching up his nose like it was irritating him, looking confused, like he didn’t know you. “i don’t know, like, eight or nine beers.”

“christ, you don’t know when to stop, do you?” your hands were in your pockets, and you were completely sober. other than a few glasses of wine you’d shared with your mom in the past, you didn’t drink.

it was nice to talk to him, though, you two only seemed to hang out in the company of others lately.

“you don’t know when to start.” he said in a joking manner, but it was delivered a little sourly. apparently that was the end of the conversation, because he walked away from you, towards some of his friends.

watching him stray away from you was painful, but you didn’t know how to save him... and it wasn’t your job to do so. a few girls pushed by him, walking towards where you stood, mumbling about something you couldn’t hear until they passed you.

“shit, those guys’ll give you a gram of that shit as long as you have tits.” one of them laughed under her breath.

tonight i’m good staying inside but i’ll be dancing for sure going to the stores, pulling socks out of the drawers of the people who you don’t love anymore

two houses down the street from the cameron residence, you could hear the booming party.

being nineteen sucked in itself. college, adulthood, the future.

what seemed to suck the most was knowing you’d lost your only best friend to drugs and money. and maybe it was for the best that you weren’t a part of his life anymore, because he was becoming everything you swore to not become.

a/n -- this was short as hell but i needed to post something rip also rereading it i hate it lmaoooo

CONTENT CREATOR YEAR IN REVIEW

tagged by: @hanflix :’))) my love, rue!!! i love you so much!

tagging: @binniesthighs @milkym00n @dreamyhan @mochinnie @hanjizung @seungmoomin (if you’ve done this before please feel free to ignore this! :) ily) + anyone who sees this that hasn’t gotten to do it yet! tag me!!! i want to read into your world please this is fun to do i promise

NOTE: most of my works are nsfw. under 18 please do not interact with them.

1. first creation of 2020 and most recent creation of 2020 first creation: runaway, a lovely fluff + sci-fi! au about alien hyunjin running from his lab and finding solace inside of your bedroom. most recent creation: ironically another hyunjin drabble (he’s my kryptonite)! free with ads is a smut request by a lovely anon about hyunjin wanting to have fun during a movie night with skz! hard warnings btw, beware.

2. one of your favorite creations from 2020 the ricochet effect, although it’s not out yet! it’s an ot8 series, part per member/’choose your own’ vibe, and it’s already got me in my feels. the entire series is meant to have the message of “love does include sex, in a healthy way. you can experiment without being called names, learn from mistakes, and even (just maybe) find someone that you can share a little more time with. all while learning about yourself, and how to love yourself!” or at least i hope it comes across that way. :) it’s witty and has bits of actual advice i want to pass over to smut readers, all while still being fiction. i hope it turns out well.

3. a creation you’re really proud of imminent! it’s a long fic about wolfman! changbin. It’s completely based off the movie “the wolfman” from 2010 that i love substantially, (mainly because it starred benicio del toro, who i’m constantly inspired by) and sort of follows the lore of the film without being exactly like the film. i wrote it in two short sittings, and i’m completely proud of myself for coming up with a huge spin to the plot within like an hour before writing it. it’s also one of the only works of my own that i can read without cringing too lmaoo.

4. a creation that took you forever the ricochet effect, again! i currently have 4 out of 8 written, but it feels like it’ll be the year 3000 by the time i finish it, and i will not be living under water. i’ll be screaming at my wifi for going in and out and deleting what i’m writing. rip.

5. a creation from 2020 that received the most notes could listen to you read the dictionary is the highest of my notes right now! which, who doesn’t have a very specific felix’s voice kink? this was my first request on this blog, so i’ll cherish this drabble for a long time.

6. a creation you think deserved more notes before i swapped over to this blog from bearseokie i was doing a 1k drabble game/halloween drabble game, which brought two of my favorite drabbles to light! epitaph is a warlock! au smut that is centered around the idea that minho can make you see a few minutes into the future, and also bring you back to the now moment! vampire is a vampy! au (obviously) smut where you’ve come to love your human seungmin, and all he wants to do is join you in the life of immortality to make you feel less alone. bonus: for my harry potter/hogwarts! au lovers, stars is considerably underrated and is very cute! jisung is a ravenclaw, reader is a slytherin. could i make it any more obvious?

7. a new fandom you joined and a creation you made for it i’m still a baby stay, so stray kids! i have a tendency to listen to a group’s music for months on end before i even get into the members and knowing their history. but when i got into skz holy shit you’d think i had an epiphany, these dudes are insanely talented and i am so sorry i slept on getting to know them. i’m just going to link my entire m.list since that’s what stanning them has brought out! masterlist!

8. a creation you made that breaks your heart words to me, definitely. the idea of being around soulmate! chan is enough to make anyone weak, but the lights in each other’s eyes put together form a diamond to tell you both that you’re soulmates? i’m on the floor, i hardly even remember writing that bit but it’s in there and i’m going awooga right now.

9. a ‘simple’ creation you really love 11:47 took my brain cells and ran with them. fuckbuddy! hyunjin is always on my mind, but damn if me writing this out didn’t electrify those thoughts by a thousand.

10. a creation that was inspired by another one beat it to the door was inspired by daniel sloss’ comedy special “X” (it is highly mature content and possibly triggering content btw pls look into it before watching if you do!!!) inside one of his jokes he was speaking about how sex is bound to happen to everyone, and can be under any circumstance. while listing things you could have sex during or between, he joked “order a pizza, see if you can beat it to the door.” and my brain went: chan. so welcome to how my brain works!

3AM NO ONES AWAKE, POST TEAM 2

Felicity, Fernando, (Tiny) Timotéo, & Isabelle

where team 3 specializes in water + plant life, team 2 are the future seers

Felicity can’t see the future, but believes it isnt set in stone, she often tries to change things towards her vision of a ‘Good Ending’ Her meddling will often set things into motion so that they proceed as originally planned though.

Fernando is the exact opposite towards Felicity’s idea of fate. While he also can’t see the future, he believes it is what it is and nothings gonna change because whats gonna happen is gonna happen. BUT, he does his part and what he believes is right, and nothing more. Because deep down he cares more than he’d like to admit.

they’re both active but for different reasons

Timotéo, can Actually see the future and how things will turn out. (Where the other two just get a strong feeling about it) BUT he will pass on helping out because to him, the future is just one big inside joke! He knows what’s gonna happen and no one else does. So he’s an absolute little shit about Everything.

Isabelle, also able to see the future, prefers to keep things to herself as well. (Not because she’s being a jerk about it like tiny tim over there) But because she doesn’t believe people knowing their future matters since there’s no changing things, she let someone know his future once before and it turned into an absolute disaster for everyone remotely involved.

theyre both passive, but also for different reasons

The trio name for them is gonna be ‘Inside Joke’ lmao

their outfits are supposed to be moth based!!

F&F having chosen to make their wings appear as clothing, but when needed they can pop out like Timotéos! They’re also able to just have them disappear, but thats only bc i know im gonna forget to draw them one some day so preparing an excuse LMAOO

#rocketfuel #rf tiny timoteo #rf isabelle #rf felicity #rf fernando #THE WAY EACH TEAM WORKS IS 1 main head #the second in command #and the two underlings #here its Isabelle head boss #Timotéo being the 2nd in charge #and the other two as like #idk general employees #lmao manager supervisor and employee #fuckit i dont have names for the levels just . YET .#lizmet #post production art

Hey could u please write hcs on yakumos opinion on MC as the story progresses ? I remember him being like “I doNt tRuSt yOU” and then he’s all baby and I love him😂💕 (he catches feelings along the way ;) )

[lmaoo, I got you, fam. This got a little long because the game is long, but I’m happy with it. Kinda reminds me of something I’m writing, too, so it was excellent practice! Thanks for the request :)]

Yakumo’s never not gonna be protective of the ones he cares about

He’s compassionate, but he also knows where to draw the line with strangers

He isn’t quite happy Louis is bringing some straight to Home Base, to say the least

In the group, he’s most def Louis’ right-hand man so you can bet he has something to say when you aren’t around to hear it

But he also respects Louis’ leadership and experience

He isn’t about to start a fight he knows won’t change anything—he just wants to know if it’s worth the risk

After he hears about your abilities, he’s cautiously intrigued

Somebody with an ability like that could be a flight risk if they think they’re in bad hands

Alternatively, if they’re smart, they can take advantage of those who are desperate

Again, he recognizes Louis has the last word and resigns himself to watching you closely

The best way to set him at ease is to invite him to partner up a lot and basically just spend time with him

When a few weeks pass and you and Io haven’t tried to rob them blind or drive them out by force, he settles

He’s not one to disturb the waters needlessly, he’ll play nice once you prove you aren’t a threat

It might give you a little whiplash, he can compartmentalize like a pro so it’s like a switch being flipped

You aren’t quite one of the friends he would die to protect yet, but he’s willing to let you help him watch over the ones that are

So…progress!

But given that his primary love language is almost definitely Quality Time, like I said before the more time you spend the softer he gets

By the end of the first boss battle, you guys are good pals (Eliot Waugh voice: I bond fast)

He’s given you his blood code and taken to showing you the ropes

He feels bad asking for help, himself when you have a lot on your plate, but he appreciates you helping return his memories too

From there it’s pretty self-explanatory that you…get closer as time goes on

At the Cathedral you regain your memories and learn of your status as Successor

After speaking to Aurora he realizes your job just got ten times more complicated

He jokes about you taking the Hunter’s offer but you tease he’d be lonely without you

He doesn’t outright say you’re right, but…

If there was ever a time for him to start getting soft it would be around the Ashen Cavern

He trusts you a lot by now and will confide in you what he remembers about life with his friends…and with Mido

Appreciates greatly any comforting words you have for him—this is a man he really never wanted to see again

He’ll act tough, but what he went through was traumatic

Stick to his side; it’ll be rough going for a while

But on the flip, he’ll come to see you as someone he can rely on too

He doesn’t do that often—doesn’t want to be the burden he tries to help everyone lift

But you make it so easy to be vulnerable, even for him

When shit really starts hitting the fan—finding Miguel, lost, Emily, a successor—you being there is what grounds him

You’re a raft in tumultuous waters

And when it’s over? When Miguel can rest, at least for a bit, and Emily is able to regain her mind? When he was able to face Mido down without wavering?

Well, he’s your ride or die, now

He’s newly resolved, and with his new mindset he sees you in a whole new light

Through saving Eva and chasing after Mido, not much changes outwardly because he feels too much is at stake to consider much more

It’s when Mido is defeated and you sign up to basically die that something starts stirring

Throughout the Provisional Government Outskirts, you notice a change in him

A hesitance—which is something not usually associated with Yakumo of all people

You catch him watching you all the time

He never admits to anything when you ask what’s wrong

He knows he can’t say anything without making it about him—he knows you’re suffering too; more than he ever could be

He stands, ever your protector, and leads you to the throne

The closer you get the more noticeable his strange behavior becomes

By the time you reach the second mistle inside the Center you’re sitting him down and insisting he talk about it

He just takes you into his arms and holds you

His face is in your neck and his arms are around your waist and you’ve never felt anything like what you feel now

“This sucks”

You can’t help but agree

That’s all he allows himself to say on the matter, and you both keep moving

The fight with the Queen comes and goes

Io sacrifices herself for the good of all and you’re conflicted with equal parts heartbreak and relief, to your guilt

Yakumo feels much the same

He doesn’t confess his feelings until much later; a lot’s happened and everyone needs time to process

But when he does, it’s out under the stars, staring at the mist from the balcony as you both remember the reason you are standing there today

#icescreamonthewall #asks #yakumo shinonome #yakumo shinonome x reader #code vein #headcanons #requests #this was one of my favs i've written so far ngl

Stuck With Me

requested by anonymous: Steve imagine where the reader gets tortured with Steve and Robin and Steve realizes he loves her. You can do anything you want with it just kinda like the general idea! Thanks!

pairing: Steve Harrington/Female Reader

summary: you and Steve have been through some tough shit, but it was always together. This time, it really seems like you’re going to die and Steve doesn’t want to die without telling you something first.

warnings: I guess drug use, and some blood, curse words.

notes: I had fun writing this lmaoo, also I loosely based this off of the reader from Hit and Run! because I like the idea of the reader getting dragged into everything alsdklsjdla I hope you like this anon! ~

!!!Spoiler Alert for Stranger Things 3!!!

***

You don’t know how you allow yourself to get into these situations, you’d think you’d learn the first time to say ‘No I don’t think I will help you’ to Steve Harrington when he asked for your help to translate a secret Russian communication and find a way into the stock room where they believed Russian weapons were being transported.

Honestly though, Steve could ask you to march right into the upside down and you would do it, you liked the guy that much. And now, here you were, arms bounded to your side inside an underground Russian lair with an incredibly painful headache and a Russian man asking you the same questions for the past hour or so.

“Who do you work for?” the Russian general or whatever asked you for the hundredth time, and you answered for the hundredth time, “The Gap- you know the clothing store?! You know the one!? I sell clothes! Literally just clothes!”

“How did you find out about this place?”

“Oh my god guy! I told you! It was by accident! Did you forget?!” you nearly cried out, he glared at you, and for a moment it seemed that he was finally going to believe you, but you should’ve known better before you got slapped. Your head swung to the side, and you let out a painful groan.

“Who do you work for?”

Dear god, you thought, this was the longest night of your damn life.

Eventually, after being questioned and slapped around a bit more- they finally took you out of the interrogation room, you were still conscious, and your face was burning and aching. They tossed you into a new room, you stumbled onto the ground for your feet and hands were bounded together.

You fell to the ground with a hard thud, and a curse word slipping from your lips.

“(y/n)! Are you okay!?” you heard the familiar voice of Robin, you looked up from your spot on the ground, seeing her bounded to a chair. You blinked.

“Just peachy thanks,” you replied, then your eyes averted to the person on the ground next to you. Your eyes widened when you saw it was Steve, he was knocked out cold, face all bruised up and bloody. His mess of brown hair going in every direction possible. You suspected that he got the worse treatment, because you and Robin weren’t beat till unconsciousness, in fact you don’t think they even got to questioning Robin yet. She looked untouched.

“Steve? Steve?! Robin please tell me he’s like...alive!” you said, trying to roll over to him which proved to be more difficult than expected. Instead of rolling, you more so flopped around like a fish out of water, trying to get to Steve.

“He’s alive, just...knocked out cold, been for a while, he groaned like once,” Robin replied, voice shaking. You let out a sigh of relief, allowing your body to relax for just a second, you rested your head against the hard ground next to Steve’s face.

“Thank god,” you said quietly, Robin nodded in agreement.

“What did you tell them?” Robin asked, before you could reply, the Russian general and the guards returned, taking Robin now. You tried your best, yelling and even attempting to trip the guards from taking her.

“Let me go you fucking bastards!” Robin struggled as they dragged her out of the room, and they didn’t leave the room without giving you a hard smack in on your cheek that rendered you weak and dizzy. They really pack a hit, don’t they?

“You assholes! You fucking assholes!” you cried angrily, but had to stop because your own voice was making your head hurt even more. You looked forward, seeing Steve’s unconscious face, your attention quickly turned back to Steve and you realized the slap simply brought you closer to him. You quickly wiggled the rest of the way near him, reaching up with your bounded hands to gently touch his face, “Damn, they really beat you huh?” you asked the unconscious Steve, seriously it wasn’t the first time you’ve seen Steve with a bruised up face- in fact you’re sure you’ve seen it more times than you liked.

It still hurt every time to see him this hurt, the first time he definitely deserved it- Jonathan gave him a run for his money and that knocked some sense into the guy- but the second time, you saw that fight happen right before your eyes. He looked just as bad, not as bad as right now though. You sighed, shaking him slightly.

He wouldn’t wake up, but you continued to try. Eventually, after you’ve given up on trying to wake him and managed to wiggle your way to the door and bang on it with your feet, Steve woke up with a loud groan.

“Would someone get that door?” he asked groggily, your eyes lit up and you quickly slid your bottom on the ground to get to Steve.

“You’re awake! Thank god you’re awake-” you squeaked as you got too excited and ended up tumbled back onto your side next to Steve. His eyes were squinted as he got a good look at you.

“(y/n)- you’re okay- what the hell did those-” he was instantly worried about you, seeing your bruised up cheek and busted open lip. You shook your head.

“Don’t worry about me- worry about yourself- you’ve been out for a while now,” you said, “I was afraid you didn’t make it.” Steve blinked.

“They can’t get rid of me that easy,” he chuckled, and so did you. Steve let out another painful groan as he tried to look around, “Where’s Robin?”

“They took her after they threw me in here,” you said, Steve cursed and began to try and get out his ties, you didn’t try to stop him because maybe he could get out of them, but after a while he gave up and you said, “I’ve tried everything- I yelled, banged on the door, tried to knock down a table- it’s...just hopeless.” You frowned now, Steve rested his head back on the ground and looked at you.

“I never imagined my death like this,” Steve admitted, you pursed your lips together, and suddenly smiled, Steve raised a brow, “What?”

“It’s just- this is exactly how I imagined my death,” you replied, Steve now raised both brows and had to let out a breathless laugh.

“You imagined yourself dying with me in an underground Russian base?” he questioned, making you laugh as well.

“Not the base part, just with you. You all beaten up too. Not in a sailor suit though,” you looked his outfit and he scoffed, “I’ve had too many close calls with you, I couldn’t imagine myself dying without you there,” you admitted, it was a dark thought sure, but it’s just how it was, you sighed, “Kind of romantic? Eh?” Steve smiled softly.

“Yeah- kinda. In a dark sort of way,” he agreed, you both chuckled. Steve was starring at the smile on your lips, glazing over the open cut with dried up blood as he realized that perhaps you guys were going to die. You were literally dead center in an underground secret Russian base, who’s to say that by the time Dustin and Erica get out of here to get help you three wouldn’t be dead already.

Steve reached forward with his bounded hands and hooked his loose pinky finger with yours. You hooked yours around his too, enjoying the small skin to skin contact.

“It’s also kind of poetic, the first time- I saved you from being some demogorgon chow, the second time you saved me. Now- we can’t even save each other.” You let out a breath and shook your head.

“That’s even darker than what I said, Harrington,” you said, Steve weakly smiled and you did as well. You both just stared at each other, as not very likely friends suddenly two of the closest friends. You disliked Steve at first, being friends with Jonathan meant not liking Steve at all, but the night he came over to Jonathan’s house to apologized and saved you from being torn apart by that demogorgon- that changed.

It was the same for Steve, not that he didn’t like you- just didn’t know who you were personally, not until that day. How you both sat on the Byers’ couch, he was wrapping your injured arm that was clawed by the demogorgon with a bandage and you two got to talking. A friendship had bloomed that day, and Steve really liked you. Like really liked you, except he never admitted it to himself or anyone else that this feeling wasn’t just...a feeling for a friend.

And right now, knowing that you guys weren’t going to make it out of here alive without some kind of miracle, Steve realized how much he did actually love you. It wasn’t just moments like this, he’s always felt it when you’d come to Scoops Ahoy, smiling and calling him cute in his uniform, watching horror movies together in the theater, you hiding your face in his chest at the scary parts, sharing a soda, your stupid jokes and your love for strawberry ice-cream- he was stupidly in love with you and he needed to let you know before he couldn’t get the chance to.

“Hey- can I tell you something (y/n)? Before you know- we probably die.”

“Yes?”

Before Steve could tell you, they returned with Robin and that’s when a whole other turn of events happened. All three of you were shot up with truth serum, and drugged out of your damn minds. You don’t really remember most of it, just the colors, and the running, and the excitement.

When you finally weren’t high out of your mind, you were bent over the toilet in the women’s restroom in the mall, puking all the contents of your stomach out. Then you rejoined Dustin and Erica as your normal selves, and met up with the kids, with Joyce and Hopper- then everything literally everything happened. You couldn’t even be that shocked anymore, that surprised that shit like this happened again.

You were sitting by yourself at the back of an ambulance, a blanket wrapped around your shoulders, and holding an ice pack to your cheek. You were staring at the ground wondering what the fuck your life had really become.

You feel like you’ve seen and done it it all. You’d been clawed to death by a demogorgon, almost eaten by one, seen a fucking monster made out of melted human flesh?? You were tortured, actually tortured by Russians- and even- was drugged out of your mind for the first time. You had to shake your head at how ridiculous this all sounded- and then Steve approached you.

He was holding an ice-pack to his own face, and you looked up at him to greet him.

“Hey- feeling better?” he asked, you groaned in pain as an answer. You scooted over so he could sit down next to you. He got the message and squeezed in the spot next to you, your shoulders were touching, so he wrapped his arm around you. You let him.

“So- looks like we survived and get to live until the next time our lives are endangered,” Steve said, trying to lighten up your obvious down mood. You laughed, and nodded.

“I guess so- hopefully next time we almost die it’s not tied up in a Russian base,” you said, Steve nodded.

“Noted- any further situations that arise that include secret Russian facilities- I’ll make sure to leave you alone.” You giggled, and snuggled closer to him. Steve sucked in a breath.

“No you won’t, you have to tell me. We’re a team Steve, wherever you go I go- also the cycle starts over now- you have to be there next time to save me, and I’ll be there the next time to save you,” you looked up at him, Steve quirked up an eyebrow and smiled softly.

“Of course, that makes total sense.” You winked at him, and put the icepack back on your cheek, sighing out of satisfaction from the cold. He eyed you for a moment, recalling the last time he really looked at you- when you were both down there. It seemed at that moment that everything was hopeless, that it was the end of the run for you two- after all these years you two were finally going to bite the dust- but at least it would’ve been together. It was too much of a close call that Steve knew he couldn’t just bury these damn feelings inside and ignore them any longer. He loved you, he really did and even if you didn’t return those feelings- you at least needed to know.

“Remember- I wanted to tell you something before you know- we were drugged up and tortured some more,” Steve said as casual as he could, you hummed as a response, eyes closed still, “Just- okay this is going to sound weird right now- but down there, I realized something that I should’ve realized a long time ago. And it’s uh- okay if you don’t feel the same way but-”

“Steve you’re hurting my head,” you whined as you looked up at him, and he quickly and quietly apologized.

“I just- I love you (y/n),” he said in a softer voice, those words made you suddenly freeze up. You were no longer blinking, or probably even breathing. You just stared at him like an idiot, wondering if you just heard those words correctly. Steve suddenly looked very embarrassed, believing that he actually did just ruin this entire friendship.

But then you turned towards him and gave a shy, teasing smile, “You what me?” Steve blinked.

“You want me to say it again?” he asked, and you looked up at him with innocent eyes, making him nervously smile, “I love you, okay, jeesh, is that what you want?”

“One more time?” Steve rolled his eyes, then leaned in and kissed you. You hummed in surprise, and returned the kiss. Steve leaned away, a dorky smile on his lips.

“I love you (y/n),” he said for a third and final time. You smiled, the aching in your head suddenly being forgotten for the time being. You licked your lips and replied, “I love you too Steve.” Hearing that made Steve feel all soft inside, and he held you closer to him. A shit-eating grin grew on his lips.

“You...what me?”

You leaned over to laugh, and said it again. You sighed, it was a happy sigh that at least something good came out of this entire night. The only thing that’s felt right in your life for a long time, being in Steve’s arms.

You two were officially stuck together now, and not just for demogorgon killing, or breaking into Russian facilities together, in life now. And that made you happy.

2.03 The Midterms

Episode:

• ballot box in gail’s fishbowl!

• psychics!

• “I’m almost certain he’s dead.”

“Sam!”

“I was making a joke too! What you work alone?”

• Mrs. Landingham’s at a funeral???? is that.....foreshadowing??? 🥺🥺🥺

• “You know what word should be Yiddish, but isn't? Spatula.”

• “Leo these last few weeks do you feel like Charlie-

“Nope.”

Damn Leo shut her down

• “Cause that's where (Boards of Education and city councils) all the governing that really matters to anybody really happens.

“We do a little governing here, Mr. President.”

Lmao

• “Can you believe I’m on hold?”

“You’re not sir, you finished the call.”

“I did? How’d it go?”

Alskfja

• “You baked things?”

• it makes sense for Toby to be the one actively wanting to go after extremist groups since he still probably feels guilty for writing the exiting in open air memo

• oh god, when Charlie curses at the President I just cringe. I have it on pause now.

• ohhh this is the radio talk show host episode

• “How did that bullet not kill you?”

• I like when Carol said Jenna Jacobs changed her hair, CJ either consciously or subconsciously starts touching her own hair.

• milk, seltzer and chocolate syrup honestly sound disgusting I would never🤮

• I love how Toby goes “Sam” as a warning to not to tell Bartlet what else isn’t being served from New England

• “There’s Alaskan crab in this White House? Have you tried them?”

“I...yes, reluctantly. I think it was clear the way I ate the crab puffs that it was a gesture of protest.”

Lmaoo

• I just noticed when Bartlet tells Jenna Jacobs he’s interested in selling Zoey into slavery, people are laughing in the background.

• ok real question: would Bartlet have noticed Jenna Jacobs, and called her ass out on her hypocrisy, if she stood in the first place?

• omg just realized Jenna Jacobs is wearing a crab pin. Does this tie into the crab puffs somehow?

• yo why does this computer guy keep coming back to the White house every 3 weeks? The computers can’t be that shitty, it’s the White House. Although it makes me think of when Fitz said the computers weren’t secure lol

• also can I just point out that Elisabeth Moss really has not aged?

• “Everybody should have to stay inside for three months so that they truly appreciate the outdoors. I appreciate the outdoors, now.”

How appropriate for these current events

• I just loved that even after a long day at the office, they all went to visit Josh at his apartment 😊

• Josh I am not sure why you just realized your pajamas were too big when CJ made you stand up to show her but ok.

• I also love that CJ just randomly grabs Toby’s arm after saying Josh’s pajamas look good. Like I’m not sure what the point of that was but 👌🏼

Podcast:

• mentioning how the episode is full of walk and talks, and how Tommy Schlamme said they would have people cross in front of the camera to do edits and make it seem like one endless shot instead of multiple shots.

• “The President’s use of an arcane word is news. “Hey! Did you hear? The President said ‘acalculia’!” lol

• yeah I was confused as to why Sam wasn’t more compassionate towards his friend when telling them the White House wasn’t going to support him when he (Sam) was upset about it earlier. Also why didn’t Sam tell him until the day of the election??

• omg the kid Jeffrey Mackintosh representing Charlie’s lost innocence nooo 😫

• “Also, black guy named Mackintosh? Ok.”

“Blackintosh.”

“No.”

“Sorry. I had to.”

“Nooo. Send your hate mail to West Wing Weekly...” 😂😂😂

• Jenna Jacobs is based on a real life woman named Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

• I like what they’re saying about the Dr. Jacobs scene though. Don’t get me wrong I’ve always liked the scene because it is satisfying to watch. However, I always felt like there was something missing and I think Josh made some good points:

1.) The audience was just introduced to her. We have no idea who she is as a person, other than what Bartlet says about her, and we’re not given a chance to hate her. There was no build to her “character.”

2.) She doesn’t get to argue back. Not that she has any legitimate grounds to stand on cause she’s a Bible thumper, but normally the show presents both sides of an argument/story. In Hrishi’s words: “You have a smart person arguing one thing and then you have a smart person who disagrees with them.” But this doesn’t happen. She’s not a real character with dimension. She’s just there to get a smack down from Bartlet.

3.) The scene is set up too easily and the whole thing resolved too quickly. And it makes no sense to have a radio talk show the day of the midterms.

I agree with Josh that it might’ve worked better in another episode.

That being said, I think it was important/appropriate speech for the time. It was probably an argument a lot of people wanted to make, and also an argument a lot of people needed to hear. LGBT rights have made significant strides since then, but I’m wondering how people reacted to seeing that when it aired 20 years ago.

Also, you could argue this is Bartlet’s reaction to the trauma from the shooting. He’s acting out by picking fights with people: Elliot Roush from the school board and now Jenna Jacobs. It would make sense and follow the theme of how the shooting is affecting each of the staff: Toby goes after hate groups, Charlie’s snapping at the President and Bartlet’s picking fights with people.

I still like the scene and Martin Sheen delivered it well.

• wait did they not know what inspired the Jenna Jacobs scene?? It was based on a letter Dr. Laura received a few months before this episode aired. The letter is very similar to Bartlet’s tirade.

• omg Lyn Paolo (costume designer) actually added the crab brooch as a tie in to the crab puffs!

• and Hrishi mentioned CJ touching her hair

• y’all i could do this podcast lol

#the west wing #the midterms #jed bartlet #the west wing weekly #tww #rewatching tww

not to be that person who asks a googleable question but wtf is hazbin hotel bc i googled it and the only “critical” thing i could find was a typo-ridden article of someone saying it has good animation and its haters are stupid. i was able to glean what it is/what it’s about but idk about the discourse lmao

Im actually so glad u asked this. Here's the lowdown, this is my definitive answer to hazbin shit from here on out, unless new info comes about of course.

Hazbin hotel is an independent cartoon by vivziepop. Most people (that ive seen) have agreed that the pilot of the show really isnt that great but the reason it has so many fans is bc of the entertaining livestreams, massive amounts of canon content produced (she has had these characters for years), unique art style, and the characters. (Ass ugly but unique.)

Its haters are totally justified bc of some of the "controversial" (read: bad) things vivziepop has done. Here's the conclusion that my friends and classmates (several of whom are Black, one Hispanic woman, and one trans woman...nellie if ur reading this i 💜 u) and i came to after discussing this stuff. I am NOT saying "well my black/trans friend said it's ok so i dont have to think about it!" this is based on a few different conversations that my friends and i have had about this topic so what im saying is that my opinion was formed by talking about this situation with multiple people affected by the controversy.

One controversial thing is a drawing u can easily find on google (called beastiality.jpg i believe?) It's a cropped (chest and up, but hes obv naked) drawing of vivziepops character, drawn by vivziepop, moaning, with a snake around him. The character is 17. Many people have interpreted this as child porn. I dont think this image is pornographic, i think it's a stupid joke (it was even tagged as a joke iirc) and completely inappropriate but since it's 8 years old on top of not being porn, i think it's just an example of a dumb drawing. That being said, i would NEVER argue that someone who is uncomfortable w the drawing (im uncomfortable with it! It's gross just not porn) or considers it porn is wrong. They are entitled to that opinion and i would never expose them to vivziepops work or talk about her stuff around them if they expressed to me that they disliked the image.

Another thing is that she drew a doodle of two racist TERFs. This is the one where my friends of color, my friends who are black, and my friends who are trans women took the lead. I sat back for this part and here's their and my opinion on this after talking about it and verbally going through this whole situation.

She was following these women (who had done blackface and stuff) and drew art of them. The art was a "quick doodle" that she did apologize for and she said she didn't realize the extent of their beliefs. She knew they werent great but hadnt consumed much of their content in depth. I believe her bc while ive never followed anyone as bad, ive certainly followed some pieces of shit and didnt notice for months simply bc im not online all the time and bc of the volume of people i follow, combined with the non chronological algorithms lately.

At the risk of screwing myself, im going to admit that there was about a year or so of my life where i enjoyed The Amazing Atheist. I was even subbed to him. I was a nonbinary lesbian (2 things he cant stand lmaoo) in catholic school and therefore i strictly watched his videos about theological stuff since thats what was frustrating me at the time. I had no clue the type of evil racist, transphobic, homophobic (yes ik hes bi), misogynistic things he thought, said, and did, bc i didnt watch those videos. I literally only watched select theological ones that could be of use to me while edgily debating my teachers (sorry mrs macdougal but u had it coming). I was about 15 at the time and im 19 now. Im sorry to everyone i hurt by ever having supported him. I had one of his quotes written in the inside of my religion notebook in high school. I regretted it and ripped the page out the moment i discovered the truth about him. I cant stress enough how much I HATE HIM. Thats an example of what i think happened here tho.

One of my friends who is a trans woman said (paraphrasing) "i think the worst thing shes done is that terf art but i believe the apology especially bc it was a quick drawing."

That being said, i would NEVER argue with someone who wanted nothing to do w vivziepop bc of this. That's their right. 100%. I would never expose them to her work after that.

The last thing i remember is something about a pedophilic couple in a comic but i heard it was a 17 year old and a 19 year old. Im 19 and if one of my peers did that i wouldnt say pedophile but id say ur a fucking weirdo, BUT, the kids were fake and being written by an adult so i can totally see her thinking that age gap is much less of a big deal than it really is. Like she forgot what it's like at this age. Idk how true any of that part is tho, i heard that info entirely secondhand.

Another thing to do with racism is that there's a joke within the show where one character says to the other

"don't get your taco in a twist"

"Was that supposed to be racist or sexist?"

"Whichever one pisses you off more"

I thought that was gross but one of my friends pointed out that vivziepop is of el salvadorian descent so that's her business. Like if i made a lesbian joke of equal or greater offensiveness than that and someone tried to call me lesbophobic over it id be like "that's literally my territory."

Oh speaking of which that character's name is vaggie and shes a lesbian but it's not pronounced w the same G you'd hear in "vagina." Vivziepop seems to name characters weirdly (like how in helluva boss theres a guy named blitzo and the o is silent) so maybe it's a pussy joke but i have no idea.

The animation was.................better than i could do, i wanna say the faces and gestures were good but god i remember there was a part with a car and my gf had to pause so i could laugh my ass off at it. I wouldn't describe the animation as a highlight but i liked the style in motion i thought it was a fun change. Vivziepops style is not appealing imo but i appreciate it as an art student and as someone whose friends all like she ra and steven universe where every character looks the goddamn motherfucking same, and while its chaotic and i dont care for it, the style actually works way better in motion than you'd think.

A good rule that i def use is to assume hazbin fans are guilty until proven innocent. If someone says they dont care about the discourse surrounding it and like it no matter what, RUN! They would support the show even if the creator was in fact a pedophile, or had done the blackface/was a terf herself! They probably support some horrible ppl and are probably "anti antis." A lot of them are minors tho so i'd say block and move on.

So, do i like it or not? Im an art student and all my friends like it so while i didnt think it was funny, i do fuck with it. At the convention this weekend my friends and i had a convo that led to me drawing an ahego hoodie where the faces were angel dust (a character's) face. It was a joke that i could make a killing by selling that in a booth at a con.

Theres really nothing compelling about the show but my friends like it so i join in on their conversations, and i do have a soft spot for angel dust bc he's like a worse, less amazing and gorgeous version of one of my characters, Candy, the love of my life.

A lot of people say the show was edgy/offensive and maybe im just desensitized but besides the taco thing i didnt pick up on that whatsoever??? The Archer episode "Swiss Miss" is worse than helluva boss and hazbin combined and even archer isn't offensive.

Im probably not aware of all the "discourse" (aka people being reasonably uncomfortable by weird and bad shit this random woman has done, and other ppl saying their opinions are wrong when it's literally just an opinion about a show) so if anything she's done isnt included in here it's not to defend vivziepop, this is genuinely all i know. I wouldnt describe myself as a fan of hers.
