nah my friend is ridiculous 😭

so he just got his jonghyun she is album and he has been looking through the picture book when he got excited over one page in which he took a picture of it and written something like “free foot pic! thanks jonghyun!”

what is his obsession with his feet he wouldn’t even stop talking about the picture of him wearing socks and kicking the air- 😭😭😭😭

jeez and he be talking about how it made him nut and shit like omg i don’t care about his feet what’s so sexy about something you walk on the floor with? is that the sexy part? him stepping on your head with socks on? what’s so hot about that?

but yeah- i don’t have a feet fetish but i do like his hands 🥺

omg the fact that he could use them to- 🫳🏻🍑

*starts screaming* nahhhh all the things i would do to meet him i would kill or give a lap dance just to carry him like he’s princess peach

nvm i don’t think i could carry him, but he can jejeekwkwkwj

he could probably carry me like a baby since i’m not too heavy… but i’d want him to grind on me-

oops sorry pg-13- uh- rainbows and flowers 🌈🌸🌺💐🌷🌹🌼🌻☀️✨

anywho, supreme is too expensive lol and my tatas are big ;(

i’m like idk what size i am i haven’t worn a bra in 6 years- maybe like 28 c of d cup ig it looks big so maybe even dd? (i don’t know my size so-) also, they’re perky too like them pr0nstars which makes it even worse-

i hate my tatas i wish i could donate them to amber or anyone i hate them i would even give them to my little sister like a hand me down so she can have boobs and i can be flat or at least small enough that i don’t have to literally kill myself to make sure i look flat enough when i bind. puberty sucks i wish i never had to go through mean changes and i could look like jonghyun ;(

i’m scared that it may go to my hips and people will see me as a woman i hate it so much i don’t know if the best thing to do is to go to a gender clinic to prevent it from happening but i would try but the uk is shit and is transphobic 😭😭

i literally look like every female character a man written with big boobs tiny waist and big butt (but i barely have hips so… yay…?) istg if i look like miss bellum from the ppg when i turn 25 then imma ☠️

nah my sis doesn’t know what she’s gonna miss like yooo- she could technically go shirtless and get away with it like omg that must feel amazing to be that flat and NO HIPS OR ASS you can live your life not worrying about getting catcalled whilst i get catcalled sometimes or creppy guys touch me like omg i never knew this was a thing in the uk 😭

also thank youuuuuuu i’m gonna shut up now but i love speaking in case you didn’t know hahahahah

mwah byeeeeeeee 😭😭😭

No, no it's fine. I like to talk too. I swear I send my friends like 25 voice memos cause I go on tangents. Then like 5 paragraphs right after the voice messages. Talk as much as you want. Yeahhhh feet fetishes do not make any real sense to me either. Also the fact it's so so so common. Like is this a dormant Victorian era sensibility that gets triggered in some people who see feet and ankles as scandalous and arousing. Also maybe you can find a Calvin Klein sports bra, it's what the supreme one is copying anyway. I got a Calvin Klein sports bra from TJ Maxx\TK Maxx a while ago for like 12 dollars. But new it's like 29 dollars. Aww, I understand, puberty can really suck and being in a body you feel disconnected from while being harassed by creepy guys just makes it harder. I really hope that you'd be able to get where you want to be in your body and you feel like you're suppose to. I'm sure you're still really young and there's so many options. And ugh those creepy guys are literally the worst. Honestly should be locked away. They have no right to touch you. Even though I like my body having a hyper feminine body does make you want to just hideaway. Plus I dress hyper feminine cause it makes me happy, Also I only care about the random women who call me cute. But I once wore like this bodycon mini dress to Home Depot. I know I know but that's like my grocery store dress it's comfy even thought it's short and tight. And I was going to the grocery store after. And like there was an employee who was following me around. Kinda looked like the lead sing of A day to remember. He even followed me into the parking lot where he tried to ask me if I saw some lady in a hat or something like that. I said no and he stayed like right by me while I waited for my aunt to pick me up. Men are creeps. Like if you want to say something say it the first time you see me don't follow me around like weirdo.

2021 Megaman Valentine’s Day Contest Results

Among the many things this past year or so has tested us with is delays, and I apologize that this year’s Valentine’s Day contest results are included in that. I certainly did not plan on this taking until March to get completed, and I am sincerely sorry to have kept you all waiting. But hopefully it is all worth the wait!!

Thanks once again to every single one of you who participated! I will be contacting the winners soon enough. Work will probably keep me from replying to everyone immediately, but I will send a message about prizes hopefully within 24 hours.

Also, my thanks to @subzeroiceskater for helping out with judging this year. Not to mention the promo pic above and other assorted bonuses that always bring me a big smile. I might say this seemingly every year, but you all made judging this VERY hard. It might have something to do with the themes as well, but I think both of us flipped and rearranged our rankings repeatedly, and even then, it was hard to decide on who would place. XD Each one of you did an amazing job!

After the break, you’ll see the winners for both categories, along with all of the entries. Raffle prize winners will be noted below by their alias, as well.

Category 1: Kiss From a Rosered (Talent)

For our talent category this year, the theme focused on your favorite Megaman characters giving roses to their special someone, along with incorporating the symbolism of specific rose colors within the piece. That rose color was also to be the predominant color within the piece, to the best of your ability.

A grand total of 9 entries were submitted for this category. You can see the full gallery of all entries at full-size [HERE]. Each entrant’s name will also link to their individual pieces at full-size.

1.) Sapphire: *$100 prize*

Subzeroiceskater said:

Oooooh, this is so cute and pink! Piiink~ Ehem. I love the depth, angle, and color grading of these—notice how Roll’s black linework is at the forefront of the pic but colors mixes with the lights and colors from the sun further along the pic. There’s a lot to admire about how everything easy to read with so many competing elements like the similar hues and bright lighting.

Pink roses usually mean a gentler sort of love but did you know that different shades of pink could signify different things as well? A darker shade may mean gratitude; medium shade could be about a first love or congratulations while a light shade may mean admiration. Tron holding a singular pink rose with varying shades of pink while literally tripping over herself and a Servbot could only mean—that this is hilarious.

Miyabi said:

From a technical standpoint, I think your piece clearly felt the most polished, crisp and virtually professional of the bunch. But more than that, I felt it also best gave off the vibe of the rose color dominating the piece, but in very subtle, beautiful ways. Where as the pink sunset causes many of the normally white areas, like Roll’s collar/sleeves, parts of Gustaff, and more, to ooze that pink lighting. Even with her klutziness, you still also portrayed the feeling of sweetness, admiration and appreciation that a pink rose conveys. Just so pretty, calming, and joyful to look at!

2.) Forceway: *$75 prize*

Subzeroiceskater said:

There is a sort of gentle irony with how Skull Man and Shade Man are both robots modeled after horror symbols—skulls and vampires—but are here surrounded by a soft sea of pink roses. The dark night is often depicted as a primal fear because it hides our deepest fears but here—illuminated by the bright shining moon—the night is transformed into a scene of love—perhaps devotion, with how Shade is gently cradling Skull, as well with the church bell in the background. This is a very tender piece mixing the shadows and the sweet.

Miyabi said:

I know most digital art programs have the brushes and shortcuts to make detailing things like roses a lot easier, but your bed of roses certainly look all done by hand on your own, and that alone impressed me a ton! Based off of the Ariga Megamix tale of Skull Man not feeling appreciated or having a family after Cossack stored him away, I felt the pink roses and Shade showing him that he is actually appreciated here was a fantastic conceptual choice. Purples in the sky and Shade’s body split the canvas and contrast with the pink well, including how you used the pink for some of the stars in the sky. Beautiful job!

3.) DigitallyFanged: *$50 prize*

Subzeroiceskater said:

Yellow is a bright color, often evoking the sun, warmth, light, joy and hope. With roses, its positive connotations continue with possible meanings of friendship, care and remembrance. Tabby’s piece seems to evoke the last one the strongest—with Zero, broken and forgotten in a lab—but, not entirely, because of a bond that is stronger than apparent death lives on—even if in this moment, it’s only a memory. Even the roses are not real—just projections of what was once alive. This is fantastic use contrast with the dark, moody blues against the vivid, almost defiant yellows; and the repeated little motifs such as X crying and the water drops falling all over Zero. It stands out from the rest of happy entries with how sad it is but it still manages to be hopeful.

Miyabi said:

Zero’s blonde locks certainly are an iconic part of his design, so playing off of that and focusing on yellow as your rose color fit perfectly. You definitely made this a very emotive piece considering technically, neither of these two are even alive and moving here! As mentioned above, the little details like the water droplets balancing against Cyber Elf X’s tears, the digital lines to make it appear like X has created the cyber-roses for Zero, and Zero’s battle damage caught my eye immediately. You certainly captured the yellow rose symbolism of remembrance and friendly affection beautifully!!

And the rest of the wonderful entries, in alphabetical order by alias:

*Raffle Prize Winner* Captain N Mega Man Cel

Subzeroiceskater said:

It’s so poetic about how this contest theme is about how the language of flowers is used to communicate feelings beyond just using words; and so, the comic is completely silent, relying on actions to convey its meaning. Yellow roses could mean friendship, care and affection; and it’s shown wonderfully with how Iris and Lan are so thoughtful with one another. It’s so cute how Iris missed Lan only because he was already out buying roses for her. Given how hard comics are to make and how this is fully colored, I really wanted to give this first place—however I felt the color usage of yellow could have been stronger, especially with the last page, where it would have had the most impact. I had to squint and zoom out to even see if the lighting had changed. Still, it’s such a very warm and lovely work.

Miyabi said:

I always appreciate the effort people put into making multiple-page comics for these contests, and this is no exception! Even without dialogue, you did a great job at conveying your story through your art in each panel and it was easily understandable. Another utilizing the yellow rose, I certainly felt the friendship and warmth in your tale. As Subzero mentioned, the only thing keeping it from placing was that the yellow colors weren’t as dominant in other areas of the pic, besides the panel by Sal. Still, your coloring was very crisp and vibrant throughout each page, and it was an awesome submission!

aw-colorcat:

Subzeroiceskater said:

With the red for Metal Man, orange for Cut Man and the explosion of yellow flowers, that’s the trifecta of warm colors. Yellow roses could mean delight and this pic is delightful in all ways. Cut looks so cute practically swimming in the sea of flowers and greenery, as does Metal’s adorable expression—which is a feat since he only shows his eyes. I also really like the juxtaposition and balance of this piece from: the rust-brown car against green-yellow nature running wild, and Metal holding a bouquet meanwhile Cut’s covered with plants. It makes me want to get some fresh air myself!

Miyabi said:

Cut Man looks grateful for being able to ride in that pickup bed of flowers, and I have a feeling the two of them had a wonderful time just snipping and sawing away at all the stems to gather them all. XD Love how the yellow and oranges play off of both character’s color schemes nicely. The subtlety of the yellow flowers in the foreground, along with the sun and tree in the background all play off each other well, too! Just an absolutely cute pic!

Dark-Dullahan:

Subzeroiceskater said:

What a fantastic composition. Dark-Dullahan does away with most color, leaving the colors of the mixed-bouquet roses as the main focal point. Classic red for romance, a gentler pink for affection, mixed yellow roses to signify caring and probably so much more—seems like Nana can’t contain her feelings for Massimo. I love how the close up of the bouquet doesn’t just form a kind of heart at the top but serves as the divider between the two, like a diptych. With such a wonderful offering, Massimo would surely accept her feelings.

Miyabi said:

As you brought to my attention, your mixed bouquet had a few different meanings, such as the dark pink representing thanks to Massimo for saving Nana from Silver Horn, and the red tips on the yellow roses to symbolize falling in love. Certainly got those vibes from her shy demeanor, as she sheepishly tries to hand them to him. Also agree with Subzero that the line from the bouquet nicely works as a way to separate them uniquely with the background. Sorry you weren’t able to complete it as fully as you had hoped, but the concept behind it certainly was strong!

Donnie:

Donnie also sent in an alternate version made during the creative process, in a different artistic style, that I still feel needs to be shared, as well. Fun to see the contrast, yet still have the same feeling and mood to the piece.

Subzeroiceskater said:

Oh, I adore this one. It reminds me of a movie poster with the tagline. I love the extra PINK flourishes of the letterings like with the Mega Man logo color change and cute pixelated font and heart. Both Rock and Roll’s expressions are so cute, too—with his more subdued smile contrasted with her exuberant grin. Much like how the pink rose could mean many things like thoughtfulness, cheer or as a show of appreciation, this piece is positively sparkling with affection, hearts and all. It’s clever how the sunset is giving the picture an overall pinkish-red hue while having the yellow light as an outline. A darling piece.

Miyabi said:

With pink roses again, I truly liked the additional hue adjustments where you can feel the warmth and see the lighter pink mixed into their skintone, or areas normally of white - from eyes to teeth to the Megaman logo - that have taken on the pink in it’s place. With the painterly watercolor style you used, it all blends in nicely. Even in your earlier version, I feel you brought a strong game with the hues, but toned down the red from that version to make it feel much stronger towards pink, with a tighter crop of your canvas. It was fun to see how it evolved, and strengthened your piece in doing so! Fabulous job!

DragonMarquise:

Subzeroiceskater said:

No better way to show how madly in love you are than a bouquet of roses that run the gamut of—I can’t call these warm colors because these passions are running hot. Orange seems to be the dominant color here—which in roses could symbolize a love that’s passionate, fierce and deep. It’s also expressed nicely with the two lovers embracing, engaged in mid kiss, their bodies also forming a subtle heart shape, to emphasize the flurry of hearts around them. The bouquet is not just orange roses, however, but a mixed bouquet of the classic romantic red and the more affectionate pink—it’s a piece that’s bursting with all degrees of love.

Miyabi said:

You also certainly mastered the limited color pallette challenge as you tackled this piece! Orange, the color of passion, is certainly felt in their deep kiss and embrace. I too caught the heart shape their heads essentially form, which is then further enforced with the heart of hearts behind them. I thought that concept was pulled off very well. Perfect for the fiery intensity of Match, this turned out to be a very hot pic!

Mattasaurs:

Subzeroiceskater said:

This one has a very clever framing (eh? EH?). The color white is often associated with purity, innocence and hope, and with white roses—weddings and marriage. Sonia dons the classic white wedding dress which has a très élégante design—and the little Lyra on her belt is very cute. The pink background is also very romantic and a nice way to tie in with her theme colors. I dig the lovey-dovey feel of Geo doing the classic bridal carry while clasping a single white rose...but seeing the thorns, I think he better watch his hand!

Miyabi said:

For a theme emphasizing color within the pic, I salute you for taking the biggest challenge in choosing white. In many ways, it could have been the hardest to keep as a predominant color, but still make the pic interesting and visually appealing. Choosing to have the petals all around the frame, with the bouquet nearby was a clever touch. With white often used for weddings and new beginnings, I think the concept of your piece worked just right, where it was subtle, but still incorporated enough other color to give the piece some life.

Category 2: Kawaii-rimi (Humor)

For our humor category this year, the theme focused on your favorite Megaman character gifting the plush form of another Megaman character to their crush, instantly created by a ninja-like character, to play off of the Kawarimi concept from the EXE series.

With just 3 entries in our humor category this time around, every entrant placed. You can see the full gallery of all entries at full-size [HERE]. Each entrant’s name will also link to their individual pieces at full-size.

1.) Mattasaurs: *$100 prize*

Subzeroiceskater said:

Y’know how blocks of wood are sometimes used by ninjas when they do that whole body switching thing? I think it’s clever how this pic has Sal—Woodman.exe’s operator—conjuring the doll. Everything about the pic is so fun and colorful: from Sal’s mischievous grin of accomplishment, Miyu being completely shocked by her chibi doppelganger (check out that body language!) and Masa’s confused expression.

Miyabi said:

Yes, while to some, Sal might not be the first one they think of when they think ninja in the Megaman Universe, but I certainly thought she still fits the bill in her design. Usually we don’t see this much emotion or shock out of Miyu, so seeing her torque her body, taken aback at a doll of herself, is amusing in it’s own right. Meanwhile, nothing fazes Masa. And a bit of randomness: oh man, seeing Masa’s head in profile, with his bandana...wow, I never realized how much his head shape with the bandana looks like a fish’s. I can’t unsee it now. Anyways, I also agree that the color, polish, and fun vibe made this a worthy winner!

2.) ColeManX: *$75 prize*

*Raffle Prize Winner* Captain N Cutsman Cel

Subzeroiceskater said:

E-Eyes? What did you mean by that, Mr. RT-55J? Although judging from the sparkle on those booblights… I understand, Cinnamon—if that happened to me, I’d be making asides to the camera, like I was in “The Office”, too. Cinnamon’s enthusiastic smile with this whole bizarre scene really sells it for me but shoutout to Marino’s smug satisfaction in the background.

Miyabi said:

🎵 I kind of liked it your way How you shyly placed your eyes on me Did you ever know That I had mine on you?🎵

RT says it only has eyes for Cinny right now, but it’s also known to be a little grabby hands, so I don’t know if I’d fully trust it...but good thing this is just a plush version. Time for the tables to be turned, and Cinnamon to get her claws and paws on it, instead. Very cute, although after the DiVE V-Day event, we all know this is a ruse and your pal boobeyes only belongs to the Ferham Fanclub. XD

3.) Ronin-Apprentice: *$50 prize*

Subzeroiceskater said:

This whole comic is so sweet and fluffy, nya! ~(=^‥^)ノ☆ It’s adorable how Proto brings up his gift first and the surprise is how Shadow handmade his gift. The little cat-eared Blues design is so darling--almost as cute as him fussing how totally NOT a cat he is. “Did you steal my cat.” had me snorting. Now I’m wondering where Tango went off to…

Miyabi said:

FU-SION-HA!

Aside from getting his own Super Adaptor, this is probably the closest we’ve got to seeing Tango and Blues merged as one. LOL I’m sure that plush would have a ton of fans wishing it actually existed. The panels where Blues embarrassingly hides behind his scarf and gets pet like a cat had me laughing! Very cute and adorable comic, that certainly had the most depth in terms of the theme of this category!

what i think each og new direction member's social media presence would be like

basically i’ve been doing nothing all day and i’m way too addicted to social media and i started thinking about this so here we are. also i’m just gonna pretend social media was a big thing when they were at school (it obviously wasn’t but lets pretend this is set in like 2016 or smth)

rachel berry

lets be honest rachel would be so damn annoying on social media (not like that’s a surprise tho she’s annoying anyway)

she’d definitely use instagram the most

she’d post photos of her and finn holding hands and caption it like ‘My world, I love this boy 🔐❤️🌏✨’ and then deletes them all when they break up

EXCESSIVE use of emojis

posts selfies and quote song lyrics in the caption

posts what she’s listening to on her stories (usually boradway) and feels very entitled because of it

posts singing videos

santana and brit probably bully her in the comments of her posts lbr

honestly i can’t see her having any other forms of social media tbh, she just always uses instagram

auto caps stay ON at all times bc it’s ‘against the rules of basic grammar’

tries to talk in the nd groupchat but no one likes her or listens. like ‘What song should I do for a solo this week’ and then it starts a massive argument

finn hudson

one of those boys who just takes photos of The Scenery™ and no photos of him

maybe posts some photos of him and rachel when they’re together though

actually he probably does the same thing as rachel like ‘Can’t believe this girl is mine 😍💗’ and commenting ‘Love You ❤️’ on her posts but it just seems v high school

probably not very active but uses instagram the most

does a lot of those ask thingys on instagram like ‘send me an emoji and i’ll say what i think about you’ LMAO

i feel like he’s not very involved with it because he prefers video games more lol

uses ‘😂’ unironically

auto caps on and doesn’t even know having them off is a thing

noah puckerman

USES SNAPCHAT. nothing else. but he does have insta

has sent streaks to everyone he’s friends with on sc and will continue to until he’s like 25

posts way too many mirror selfies with the flash on without his shirt off (ew)

literally never talks in the nd groupchat

auto caps on - actually he probably Types Like This All The Time

has A Rule that if he’s talking to a girl he has to not reply for at least 2 hours but if it’s a guy then he has to reply asap (bros before hoes type vibe)

blaine anderson

i really don’t think he’d use it that much??? i feel like he’d get too overwhelmed ahdkjhdjs

WAIT APART FROM TUMBLR

he’s probably very involved with tumblr and is part of the star wars fandom/marvel fandom

his ao3 history is between him and his computer only

ppl wanna be his friend on tumblr because he’s just nice and kind 🥺

he’s probably quite popular on there - has a lot of followers

but he doesn’t really use any others - has an instagram but there’s no posts on there

maybe he tries to spread awareness on his insta stories???

hates snapchat with a passion

uses :) :( <3 ;_; way too much (he’s on tumblr)

has auto caps off. like he’s a fanboy okay he’s on TUMBLR fgs.

auto caps OFF

uses all the pretty emojis way too much like ‘went to the park 🏞 it was so ✨💗 fun!!! 🌸🌈☀️ we had a good time 😍’

is the QUEEN of the nd groupchat along with santana. tbh her and santana would just use it as their place to talk about everything rather than private messages

kurt hummel

uses instagram to show off his outfits

especially when he gets older and lives in ny!!

there’d be such cute lil videos of him and blaine on his story like taking videos of his ootd and then blaine photobombing and then he zooms in on him and laughs ok i’ve thought about this too much

compliments all his besties on their photos like ‘So gorgeous 😍’

auto caps stay religiously ON but uses a lot of abbreviations like ‘btw and ily’ etc

in the early days of him and blaine being together, he’d be quite private about it but around the time just before he leaves for ny they get more public

his replament pt 2

a/n: i am in disbelief at how much you all enjoyed the first part. thank you all so much for the support and kind words. i’m a little nervous because this part isn’t as good as the first but there’s a lot planned for the third. anywayyy, hope you enjoy! 1.8k

Going out that night was actually very beneficial for many reasons. Y/N and Shawn had learned that many beach attractions, like restaurants and gift shops, were in walking distance. And Y/N’s mood had improved knowing that Harry was trying to reach her but she wasn’t crawling right back to him. Shawn’s cheesy jokes may have also contributed to that mood increase.

After returning to their temporary residency, Y/N cleaned herself up after her long travels and bid Shawn a goodnight. That’s when he took the chance to get on his phone but he would never want her to know that. Off she went to her separate room. She plugged in her phone, and got into bed.

After what felt like a century of just staring at the ceiling, she started to debate getting on her phone. She knew if she did, she’d be tempted to call Harry back. And calling Harry would mean forgiving Harry, which she wasn’t ready to do yet. She’s always been the one to forgive right away, but not this time, she told herself. This time she would show him that she didn’t need him, and then convince herself that.

With that in mind, she chose to let her phone sit there in peace and turned on her side to face the opposite way. She did not care how long she had to stay up, she was not giving in.

---

Y/N woke up to the sound of quiet knocks on her door and the smell of eggs. “Come in,” she mumbled with half her face still pressed against the pillow. The soft creaking of the door prompted her to slowly open her eyes. Her eyes revealed her curly headed friend carrying a tray with multiple plates topped with food. The soft glow of the sun shining through the curtains made him look angelic and she definitely took note of that.

“Morning sleepyhead,” he said as walked to her bedside. Y/N forced herself to sit up and returned his morning greeting. “Here’s your breakfast.” He gently placed the tray on her lap. She took in the view of the stacked waffles and scrambled eggs. A cup was filled orange juice and there was a purple flower off to the side for decor.

“Awh Shawn, you didn’t need to make me breakfast,” she said, smiling up at him. Her voice was still groggy from only waking up a few minutes ago which he thought was adorable.

“Good, because I didn’t. I had it delivered.” She laughed at his slight laziness and this made Shawn internally pat himself on his back for making her let out such a beautiful noise.

“Well home cooked or not, I still appreciate it. Thank you.” And it was then that she gave him the look that always brighten his day. A look of admiration she had given him many times before. He would buy her breakfast everyday if this was the look he was going to get afterwards.

“You’re very welcome.” He couldn’t help but grin.

Shortly afterwards, Shawn had left her to eat and get ready for the day. They mutually agreed that the perfect way to start the first day was to hit the beach. In less than an hour had finished eating, washing her face, brushing her teeth, and getting her new bathing suit on.

Y/N left her room hoping Shawn was nearly ready but was soon disappointed when she spotted him on the couch still in his pajamas, the classic white tank top and random sweatpants. In his hand was his phone, that he was currently deeply distracted by. Y/N cleared her throat and he looked up at her with slight surprise. He noticed her beach cover up was already on and she had her beach bag packed.

“I didn’t realize you were ready to go. Let me go change.” He placed his phone on the coffee table and leapt up from his seat.

“Get moving, Mendes,” she joked and gave a little smack to his ass as he walked past her.

“Hey! Watch the money maker.” He could not even keep a straight face as those words left his mouth. She playfully rolled her eyes and he disappeared into his room.

Within another quick hour, they were settled at their spot at the beach. They set up their umbrella and chairs close enough to the clear blue water, but far enough that’d they be surrounded by enough dry sand to use for when she convinced him to make a sandcastle.

It didn’t take much convincing. His inner child fully blossomed as he mentally planned out the castle and start barking orders to complete his vision.

Including the sandcastle, they had done a lot at the beach. They went for a swim which help clean off the sand covering their bottoms. A quick swim lead to a splash war, which lead to Shawn picking her up and tossing her into the water, which lead to her pretending to be mad at him until he gave her an apology accompanied with puppy dog eyes that she always gave into. Afterward, they left the sea and Y/N decided to do some tanning.

“Hey, can you hand me my phone,” Shawn asked from his spot under the umbrella. Y/N gave him a disapproving. “Relax, I’m just using it to play music.” She took a second to decide that was a valid reason to break the phone rule. Reaching into the bag next to her, she grabbed his phone and lifted it out of the bag. Before tossing it to Shawn, she noticed the abundance of messages from his good friend, Teddy.

“Why is Teddy blowing up your phone?” He unlocked his phone to read through the multiple messages and Y/N resumed her tanning position on her belly on her towel.

“Apparently, she doesn’t believe I’m here at the Bahamas.”

“Send her a picture then.”

“You’re a genius.” Shawn gets up to lay next to Y/N on his stomach and props his phone camera up to get both of them in frame with the sea behind them. “Smile.”

Y/N finally looks up with surprise. “I meant of the beach or something. Something without me in it.”

“Well she could just accuse me of looking up a pic. It’s easier this way. Now, smile.” Shawn parts his lips to show off his sparkling white teeth. Begrudgingly, she gives in and mirrors his wide smile. He takes the picture and then looks closely to examine it like a teenage girl. “See, look how cute this is.”

And he’s right, it’s a cute ass picture. Not only do they both look perfectly happy and look great, but the background of the crystal blue sea is adding to the idea that they are living their best life. And they’re perfectly posed so they can look like just good friends or lovers underwraps.

It’s so cute that she just wants to show it off to others. She quietly asks him to send it to her and then he mocks her for not wanting to take it in the first place but still sends it to her anyway.

They don’t stay at the beach for much longer, knowing they will have plenty of days to come back. They return to the beach house to shower and prepare themselves for an early dinner at a close by restaurant.

“Hey, Y/N, you can join me in the shower to save water,” he offers half-jokingly and even adds a playful wink.

“Ha ha, very funny Mendes,” she sarcastically responds.

“I’m just trying to think about the environment here.” The look he gives her is so smug that she can’t decide if she hates it or finds it attractive. The answer is a mix of both. She mutters a “whatever” and lightly pushes him into the bathroom so he can shower. Alone.

Y/N takes the opportunity to check her phone while he’s in the shower. She finally turns the device on for the first time since last night and is slightly bombarded with notifications. All her girl friends are asking if the “lover news” is true, to which she replies with a no. She doesn’t bother opening twitter, already knowing what is awaiting her. She looks at her call log. 3 Missed Calls from Harry Styles. She doesn’t call him back. She sees that he’s texted her.

From Harry Styles

Please call me when you get the chance xxx

C’mon sweetheart, answer the phone xx

I’m sorry, Y/N

Finally. The words she was waiting for. But she still doesn’t want to accept the apology. After all the pain he’s put her through from the beginning of their “arrangement.” She thinks he can and should work a little harder if he truly is sorry. And when she does finally accept his apology, what is he expecting next? He already knows how she feels about him. Would he finally reciprocate those feelings? Probably not.

Y/N leaves him on read and goes to the picture Shawn sent her. She notices how happy she appears. She hasn’t seen herself smile that wide recently when she was with Harry. Taking Shawn on the vacation with her has been refreshing.

She opens up her instagram app and decides to post it. Her feed has a new addition of a smiling Y/N and Shawn with the caption, “unbothered by the beach.” Satisfied with her post, she powers down her phone once again.

“The shower is all yours, Y/N,” Shawn calls from outside her door.

---

@Y/NY/L posted a new photo

reads the new notification on Harry’s phone. Harry opens up his phone to see the picture. Pictured is his Y/N next to someone that wasn’t him. He can see that she was in her new bathing suit that she had shown to him a few weeks ago. The same week he had agreed to go to the trip without fully listening to the details. And if he wasn’t kicking himself before, now he certainly was. He had been such an asshole to her and should’ve listened to her more. And now he couldn’t even get her to return his texts or calls because she was too busy with a guy who was clearly kinder to her than he was. A guy who could potentially steal her away.

This thought is what causes Harry to truly panic. He may have acted like he didn’t want her, but he needed her. He tried to hide it the best he could but he was beginning to depend on her. His new dependency on someone other than himself scared his and ultimately led him to push her away. He never truly thought she would give up and move on but her new post contradicted that. He had to fix this problem that he caused and he had to do it fast.

In just a few short minutes, he had his assistant on the phone. “Cancel all my plans. I need a flight to the Bahamas as soon as possible.”

Star-lit Date Night

//Hey yall, so depression has been kicking my ass and I dont know how to write whump without it being my/Sam's fault in some way, which is one of my big triggers, so I'm gonna pause on those for a hot sec and just write some fluff, because I need that so bad rn. I'm sorry about the prompts, I'll get to those as soon as I hate myself a little less, but for now just enjoy the kinda badly written gay cliche

TW: Gay panic, brief mention of not eating or sleeping much, mention of medicine, kinda suggestive talk.

Sam hadnt stopped telling everyone about this girl she had met since ten minutes after meeting her, which was three weeks ago now. If she wasnt texting her, she was infodumping everything about her to Kat or Sofia or occassionally Jackie and Nic when they were free and up for listening, and if she wasnt doing that, she was daydreaming about kissing her and moving in together, she had even planned their wedding.

Ren tried to keep her in check, so she didnt talk everyone's ears off about some girl they hadnt even met, but even she had to admit she was smitten with her too.

Of course, Ren didnt allow herself to talk to this girl, aware that there would be questions that she couldnt answer with a clear conscious. But she could at least admit she was gorgeous, and Sam's dramatic exaggerations of her beauty werent that far off, or were at least deserved.

They had finally gotten into a point in their friendship where Sam felt comfortable enough to blurt out that she liked her as more than a friend, and as they waited in an increasingly awkward silence, she and Ren decided that no matter what happened, they were glad to have met her.

Dani had responded positively, though! She liked Sam back, and wanted to get to know her more, so she invited Sam on a date on Friday night.

So she acquired permission for Sofia's car, and then waited in an anxious ball for the next two days to pass by. She barely slept and barely ate, only remembering to take her meds because of her alarms and Kat's gentle reminders.

Finally, Friday morning rolled around.

Ren took them to the bathroom, showering and shaving and curling their hair and washing their face with 13 different products, finally finishing with some "light" makeup.

Sam hated it, wanting to scratch at her nose and cheeks and forehead, but knew it would just mess up Ren's hard work. Admittedly, she looked pretty, and Ren's skill was impressive.

They left the bathroom in a towel, giving an awkward smile to Kat as she headed out of the cabin.

Arriving in their room, Sam realized she had to actually get dressed, but didnt know what the fuck to wear. She didnt wanna get out of the towel dress, didnt wanna wear pants or shorts or, gods forbid, a skirt.

So, the only option was a dress.

She had a few, and she liked most of them, but a couple were Ren's, and those were on the downward side of her "like" spectrum.

This is when Ren started stirring again, coaxing Sam to at least try on a few of hers, just to see how they looked with her hair and face all dolled up.

Sam decided to humor her, trying on three before finding one of Ren's she did actually like; a black long sleeve dress with a short skater skirt, and weird ass hole patterns along the whole thing. Weird patterns aside, it was a gorgeous dress, and hugged her body in some pretty flattering ways.

She kept it on, hanging up the other dresses and doing a quick spin in front if the mirror.

Oh yeah, this was a good dress; the skirt flared up and twirled around her, probably showing off her ass a little, but she would put on those dress short things that hide your underwear and call it good.

Despite how happy she was with the dress, there was a new one she got that she honestly loved, and had been waiting for an excuse to wear for a few weeks now.

So she slipped off the black dress carefully, pulling on the dark blue one instead, the pink and peach flowers catching her eye in the mirror immediately. She slipped her hands in the pockets and spun, flaring the dress manually. Even if she had to put work in, the action still made her smile, and she decided this one looked pretty too.

Ren sighed quietly, saying that they were both pretty but the black one was a little nicer, yeah?

Sam groaned, honestly unsure which she preferred. A quick glance at the clock told her that she didn't have a whole lot of time to debate, so she bit her lip and decided to get third party opinion.

Remembering Kat had just left though, her heart started beating faster in a small panic. She grabbed her phone and pulled open her messages, seeing the last person she talked to was Nic!

He would know how to do the date thing, right? I mean, he got the only person as cool as him, so he had to at least be able to advise her for clothes right? Fuck, she hoped so.

She snapped a quick picture of the blue dress while it was still on, quickly pulling it off and putting the black one back on.

Taking a picture of that too, she gathered both and sent them to him, captioning it "Fashion emergency, Ren and I cant decide what to wear for our, my? Date tonight!! Mind helping a little?"

She sent off the message, twirling for a second in the dress again, habitually reaching for pockets that werent there and frowning a little. She didnt dwell on lost pockets though, going back to her closet and pulling out different shoes.

If he picked the black one, would she wear heels or boots? Flats maybe? Not boots, for sure, but I have 4 pairs of black flats and 3 different heels.

Okay, fuck that, what about if he picks blue? I have 2 pairs of blue flats, plus a pair of blue heels, and any of the black shoes would be cute probably.

Sam groaned, quickly realizing she had far too many shoes, and she was completely hopeless with fashion stuff.

Luckily, she wasnt alone with her indecisiveness; Nic responding with a comment about how pretty she looked and how happy he was for her, finishing off by saying that her hair accented the blue one in a really pretty way.

Sam squealed and set her phone down, sliding the dress on and examining herself, brushing some setting power off of the chest and brushing down the skirt a little, finishing by fluffing her hair a tiny bit.

Yeah, she looked good.

She grabbed a pair of comfy blue shoes and a pair of cute heels that she could totally walk in if Ren was fronting, snapping pics of them on her bed and sending both to Nic, saying "You're a fucking lifesaver and I preesh you. Would you mind if I asked for one more?"

His response was quicker, "Go for more comfortable in case you're out for a while. Dont wanna cut tonight short cause your feet hurt!"

Sam laughed a little, enjoying the implications that Dani would actually enjoy her presence enough to want to hang out past dinner.

Still, she slipped on some small socks and the flats, floofing the hem of the skirt in front of the mirror again. Dad made the right call, and she was fucking rocking the look.

She took a better quality picture, showing off the whole look to Nic, writing a quick, "You're a fucking god and thank you so much!! Love you, dad :D"

She didnt wait for a reply, putting her phone into a sorta-matching bag and making sure she had her wallet and keys in it. Finally, she was ready, and ahead of schedule!

She left the cabin quick, making it to the car and driving off without incident.

30 minutes later, she was in the restaurant checking to see if Dani had already been seated. The host led her back to Dani's table, the latter standing up and pulling Sam into a hug before pulling away.

"You look stunning, Jesus Christ.." Sam blushed, stuttering out a small thank you and reciprocating the compliment.

Dani was fucking gorgeous, wearing fancy pants and a nice top, with a complementing jacket draped over the back of her chair.

They parted completely, Dani stepping back and pulling Sam's chair out, coming around to sit again after she pushed Sam in too.

They ordered drinks, neither of them getting anything alcoholic, and then food quickly, only quiet small talk shared as they decided.

Once the menus were taken though, Dani started firing off random questions that Sam struggled to answer, the questions getting more ridiculous as they went; "What would you name a pet dolphin?", "If you could name your super-sidekick, what would you pick?", "Who came to mind when I said super-sidekick?"

Eventually they were both giggling and laughing, Dani not holding back with her head tilted back and a big grin on her face, and Sam keeping herself quiet by biting her lip, also suppressing her own grin.

Their food came, and they made more small talk while they ate, learning small things about each other that Sam loved knowing; Dani loved shellfish but hated other seafood, and her first dog was named Popcorn, and her first girlfriend was in the 7th grade, and they kissed on their first anniversary.

Dani didnt push when Sam frowned at the mention of first girlfriends, avoiding the subject by instead asking her favorite sport, and if she had ever been skiing, and what her favorite halloween costume was.

By the time they finally finished dinner, including a relatively small dessert that they shared, it was 11 pm, and they didnt want to go their separate ways just yet.

So they split the bill and took their leave, heading a block over to the nearest park. Sam started shivering as they walked, but she pursed her lips and ignored it, bracing herself against the breeze that was colder than she was expecting.

Dani stopped in front of the intersection, not even hitting the crosswalk button before taking her jacket off and draping it over Sam's shoulders.

Only then did Sam realize Dani was so fucking tall. Like, she was 5'4, Dani was at least a whole head taller, with slightly broader shoulders and such big fucking arms.

Distracting herself quickly, she slipped her arms into the warm jacket while Dani hit the button.

The jacket was so fucking big on her, naturally. The sleeves went past her hands, the bottom edge coming down past her butt, and the shoulders were already sliding down her, well, shoulders.

Dani wrapped her arm around Sam, keeping the jacket upright and also keeping their warmth closer to their bodies.

They crossed into the park, still entwined and cuddling, both content to walk around in the quiet night for a while.

Sam glanced up at the sky, doing a double take as she saw the big moon and bright stars.

Slowly, she started asking Dani about how much she knew about space, sharing little facts and tidbits that she knew, until Dani asked her to share more. She took the jacket off after a moment of hesitation, laying it on the grass and sitting down on it, patting the space next to her so Dani could sit.

She complied, even following when Sam laid back fully, listening quietly but enthralled as Sam pointed out constellations and planets and even a couple satellites that they noticed passing by.

Dani entwined their hands, looking over at Sam with a small smile. She didnt notice the gaze, still caught up in telling the story behind one of the many constellations she had loved learning about. Dani couldnt help but smile with her as her shy smile grew into a big grin that she didnt even hide the longer she talked.

Sam finally tired herself out, looking over at Dani with her smile returned to its shy, apologetic size. She leaned forward before Sam could speak, kissing her shoulder gently.

"You're really smart, and you clearly know your stuff about this. I love hearing you talk about the stars and space and everything involved with that, Sam. And thank you for sharing," Sam was shocked, her mouth opening a little, like she wanted to protest but though better of it. Dani gave her a small but genuine smile, squeezing her hand gently.

Sam squeezed back, whispering a quiet "Thank you," before nuzzling her forehead onto Dani's shoulder, hiding her face and her slightly-visible smile.

When she pulled away, she caught Dani's eye, both of them refusing to look away. Her hair was a forest green but looked so much lighter under the moon, and San wanted to run her fingers through it.

Dani was a step ahead of her, turning onto her side and releasing Sam's hand so she could pull her into a hug. Her forehead was pressed against Dani's collarbone, but she was so comfortable and felt so safe already.

After everything, she could use a little safe.

So she hugged Dani back, looping their legs together and holding her close, and they stayed like that until the sprinklers turned on.

They both grabbed their shit and ran out of the park, dripping wet and laughing, Sam doubled over by the time they reached the outer sidewalk.

Dani gasped for breath, glancing over at Sam before another laughing fit erupted from her. In the midst of her own fit, Sam barely registered that she wanted to hear Dani laugh like this more often.

The puddles beneath them grew as they slowly calmed down, Dani still letting out quiet giggles every so often, while Sam was just smiling big and proud.

"Your hair still looks beautiful, this is unfair, you're like a goddess or something!" Sam froze, looking over at Dani as she spoke. Her hair was falling into her face, whatever she had used to make it stand up clearly not being waterproof.

"Y-your hair is absolutely gorgeous, and you're rocking the whole.. messy hair vibe. Like, shit, you're so fucking pretty, I could actually ki-" Sam cut off, her eyes widening a little.

Its not that she didnt wanna kiss Dani, but she didnt want her to feel obligated to, I mean it was their first date, and they were both probably cold, and she was getting closer, why was she getting closer?

Dani rested her hands on Sam's shoulder and cheek, giving her a second to pull away before pressing their lips together.

Sam's hands flailed at her sides, before Ren placed them on Dani's hips and kissed her back. Sam came back in control, her eyes sliding shut in near bliss. Dani’s lips were soft and warm, and her hands were playing with Sam’s hair.

They parted slowly, Dani meeting Sam’s eyes with a small smile.

“You kiss good,” Were Sam’s first words, barely a whisper as her eyes flicked between Dani’s and her lips. Dani laughed a little, leaning over and kissing Sam’s cheek quickly.

“You kiss good too. And thanks, Sam,” She was still smiling, and it had Sam smiling back. They stood there for a moment in silence, until Dani spoke up again, “Youre still shivering, do you want to call it a night?”

No, she really didnt, but she was really cold, and she had to take her meds before bed, lest she wake up like an asshole or have nightmares or both.

She sighed, not knowing how to explain any of that without sounding fucking psychotic, so she simply nodded a little. “’m sorry”

“Hey, no need to apologize, i get it, its 2 am and we both have class tomorrow, its all good. You had fun tonight though?” Dani hooked her arm through Sam’s, guiding them back towards the restaurant and where they had parked.

Sam blinked in surprise at the time, but didnt comment on it, instead answering, “This has been the best night ive had in.. ever? Its been so much fun just talking with you, and hanging out, and just.. being with you. Youre so sweet and funny and patient, and i.. really hope we can do this again sometime soon?”

Dani smiled, swinging their hands between them as she nodded rapidly. “Id be so down for that, and we can go out earlier than today? Just so we arent out all night?”

Sam nodded, looking up at Dani nervously, “Fuck yeah, or we could like.. i dunno, set up something so we spend the night together..?”

“Sam Kyle, are you implying-”

“No!! No, not like that!!!!” Dani started laughing again as Sam covered her face with her free hand.

When Dani calmed down again, they had reached the parking lot and stopped walking. “I wouldnt mind having a sleepover though, with or without that.” She said with a fond smile.

“That.. yeah, fuck yeah, how bout we plan something in the morning?” Dani agreed, and they shared another small kiss before going their separate ways.

Sam walked quietly into the cabin, sure Kat would be asleep by now. She shot a quick text to Dani telling her that she arrived safely, getting one a few minutes later saying the same. They said their thank you’s and good night’s, before Sam noticed she still had Dani’s jacket on.

She snorted as she saw herself in the mirror, flapping the sleeves briefly before deciding she did still look cute in it; the color even matched the flowers on her dress!

She took one last picture, and went to send it to Nic, finally seeing that he had wished her good luck before she even left for the date, and had sent another message asking about how it went. With a small smile, she hit send on the photo, the caption a long ramble about how much fun they had and that they were planning another one soon.

He responded with a small joke about the comfortable shoes, before saying how happy he was that she was moving on and finding some happy of her own.

They talked for another few minutes while Sam took her meds, got changed into pjs and washed off the makeup, saying good night’s of their own before she laid down to finally sleep, after three very long, anxious days.

She cuddled close to Peter, her amethyst necklace around his bear neck, bidding goodnight to the stars around her room and both her dads, finally having a completely dreamless night’s sleep.

Shy [ Hwang Hyunjin ]

Request: hi! i was wondering if you could write a story with hyunjin x reader! like hyunjin & the members go abroad & they go visit a boba shop where the reader works at & when he walks in he thinks the reader is rlly cute & the members sense it so they push him to go talk to the reader & he asks them on a date after they get off work & they go on their date to dinner & idk like he cant stop posting pics of them on his snap story bc they're just so cute & he can't believe he was lucky enough to meet them

>>Genre: fluff

>>A/N: I had a lot of fun writing this but I hope you enjoy~ :: Masterlist [ Request box ] Guild lines

>>Member: Hwang Hyunjin

•The meeting room the boys were in was filled with loud chatter and laughter as they waited for Jyp and their manager to come into the room

•honestly none of them not even Chan knew what the meeting was being held for

•did they really care, no

•They had assumed is was about something scheduled

•And they would be ecstatic either way because they loved to see fans or just perform in general

•But no papa JYP had other plans

•He had decided to schedule a vacation for the boys for having such a successful pre-debut

•When the boys had heard that they were actually going on vacation they were ecstatic

•Like almost bouncing off the walls kinda happy

•He was open for suggestions and finally decided to send them to Australia with much begging from the form the aussie line

•Packing was hectic but it wasn’t as hectic as getting on the plane

•But all was good and they safely arrived safely at Melbourne, Australia (Don’t fight me on this)

•The first day they had decided to just walk around the city

•Felix and Chan had a blast watching the other members be confronted by Australian natives

•especially when Woojin, Minho, Jeongin and Changbin would try to communicate in their limited english

•But at the end of the day they had decided to go to a cute little boba shop

•Inside it was really simple yet pretty but the boys eyes couldn’t help but look around in awe

•”Welcome to Milk&T Brickhouse Cafe”

•Finally their eyes landed on the owner of the cheerful voice that had greeted them

•Though their eye didn’t lingered too long before they had found the menu, each taking their turn to mumble their order to Chan

•This didn’t go unnoticed by you and you couldn’t help but chuckle a little bit thinking it was cute

•Chan told you his order along with 8 other orders

•While you were tapping in the orders you couldn’t help but hear their conversations, one standing out in particular

•”Yah Hyung~ Why are you staring?”

•”Shut up Felix!”

•Your eyes ventured upwards to look at the boy who had harshly whisper to the boy whom you presumed was Felix

•You weren’t expecting to make eye contact but when you did you couldn’t help but smile a little bit at the boy

•Like come on he looked so flustered and adorable, how could you not? (Like you can fight me if you don’t think Hyunjin’s smile is adorable)

•And you’d be lying if you said the flustered smile he was sporting wasn’t adorable

•Both of you bowed your heads in a slight state of embarrassment before you told Chan the price of their order

•Afterwards once they left you set back to work and turned around to make their orders totally zoning out the noise of chatter that buzzed around the cafe

•once the boys were seated at their desired tables they had decided to let Hyunjin go for the incident and just talk about things they wanted to do while in Australia

•And although for the most part everyone was chipping in their ideas of what they wanted to do

•They couldn’t help but notice how quiet Hyunjin was especially with the fact of how excited he was to explore

•But once they looked at the boy and saw where he was looking they couldn’t help but chuckle to themselves

•”Aye if you like them so much go up and talk to them”

•”You’ve been looking at them for a while now Hyunjinnie wanna say something?”

•”What no shut up”

•”You’ve been staring at their back for the past 3 minutes Hyunjin don’t ‘what no shut up’ me.”

•”I was not!”

•”You should talk to them! You both would look really cute together!”

•”Ahem…”

•All heads snapped in your direction and before Hyungjin could even think the words spilled out of his mouth

•”How much of this conversation did you hear?!”

•”N-None of it…”

•”Thank god.”

•The amount of chuckles that sounded through the table was enough to tell you that you probably were the topic of the conversation considering what had just went down earlier

•But you decided not to press further and just awkwardly hand them their drinks

•”Is there anything else I can get you?”

•”N-No!”

•And with that you quickly took your leave

•”Wow...that just ruined all complete chances with them.”

•After Hyunjin had shot another annoyed glare at his members they had finally decided to let it go feeling like they had pushed a little too far and went back to their planning

•ultimately leaving Hyunjin too his own thoughts

•I mean he did find you pretty cute and this was his only chance...

•That was enough to have the boy stumbling out of chair almost falling in the process as he made his way to counter

•You had saw every bit of it but just for his pride's sake you tilted your head down hiding your smile and went back to your work

•Till his hand slapped down on the countertop were you were scribbling information on a piece of paper

•”Actually there is something you can get me! Can I have your number please!”

•Honestly at this point Hyunjin was already so flustered and embarrassed he didn’t even care that he had just yelled that out

•And at this point if things didn’t workout the way he wanted them to he would have just curled under his covers devouring any snacks he could get his hands on

•”Here.”

•He’s eyes literally bulged at the site of your number scribbled on a piece of paper

•He looked up and swore his heart never beat so fast, you looked absolutely stunning just smiling at him brightly

•”T-Thanks… And sorry for earlier I didn’t mean to lash out on you like that.”

•”It’s alright I could tell they were pushing your buttons.”

•You glanced over his shoulder at his members that were most certainly trying their hardest to snoop on the conversation

•”Yeah...Hey if your free later tonight can would you like to hangout with just me?”

•Just then the door jingled indicating a customer had walked in

•”Sure text me when!”

•You quickly leaned over the counter and kissed his cheek before scurrying off to help the customer who had just entered

•The little cutie was so shocked all he could do was place his hand over the cheek you kissed and look back at this members with his jaw hanging down in shock

•Once he went back to the his table he didn’t hesitate to tell his members anything nor could he help but steal glances in your direction

•Like honestly the members thought he was love sick puppy

•And it was safe to say that the rest of the day would go to helping Hyungjin with this little date

•They helped him pick out flowers they thought you would like along with a box of candy

•They even went as far as scotting out places for the both of you to hang out

•and once everything was set in stone Hyungjin texted you the deals and you could say he pretty much was bouncing off the walls

•”Hyung DO i LoOK oKaY?!” “Okay but likE HYUNg!” “wHaT iF THeY dON’T lIKe iT?!”

•The question kept flowing till he was finally face to face with your apartment door

•He rung the doorbell while fixing his clothing a little bit, practicing what he was going to say while all the while rearranging what he had held in his hand

•Once you opened the door and he saw you he forgot ever single thing he had ever known

•Like how did you manage to look stunning in ripped jeans paired with a simple white shirt along simple rubber shoes

•”H-Hey.”

•He pushed the bouquet of flowers into your hand along with the box of candy in which you gladly took while thanking him

•And once you asked him what they were for all he could do was giggle cutely which honestly was the cutest thing ever (how many times have I said honestly and cutest like seriously?)

•Anyways once both of yall were outside of the apartment Hyunjin had decided to just stop by a small cafe first so you too could get drinks

•and after ordering he couldn’t help but stare at you from across the table because you just looked so stunning in front him

•like so stunning he even took a picture and posted it on his snapchat with the caption “What a gem.”

•Once you noticed he took a picture of you it became literal war

•every chance Hyunjin would get he’d sneak little picture or videos of you before you’d try to cover your face or snatch the phone out of his hands

•And this didn’t stop at the cafe

•He literally thought you were the most precious thing ever

•Like he stopped everything to take a video of you gushing over at oversized stuffed toys

•In which he of course won for you cause like hello why not also because you with a huge stuffed toy in your arms was a look he very much appreciated

•Though he kept the more sentimental moments to himself, hoping to forever keep them in his memory

•Like when you had brushed your hand against his, accidentally and before you could pull your hand away he had quickly held it causing you to get flustered

•Or the time he had caught you staring at him

•And even the time you would just smile at him because of either something you saw or he did

•Hyunjin was basically whipped at this point with no point of returning

•So when the time came to drop you off at your apartment you could say Hyunjin was a bit sad that time had slipped by so fast

•If he could he would have spent the whole night with you but unfortunately you both had plans the next day

•And once you both were once again in front of your apartment door he couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful that he was so reluctant in approaching you

•But at the same time he couldn’t help but smile a little bit to himself replaying the moments in his mind as you unlocked the door to your apartment, your voice being the only thing to snap him out of his daze

•”Thanks for the date Hyunjin it was really fun!”

•”Y-Yeah I had fun too.Sorry for being so hesitant to approach you, again. And for like taking all those unnecessary photos and videos you were just so precious and stunning I couldn’t help it. Like wow how did I even get so lucky to met someone like you wait did I really just-

•Before Hyunjin could even finish he’s sentence you get on your tip toes and kiss his cheek making the boy cut himself short

•’Goodnight Hyunjin.”

•He’s honestly not even mad at what himself for literally exposing himself, he’s smiling like a little child

•”Goodnight (y/n).”

•This time it was his turn to leave you shook because not only had he decided to kiss your forehead

•He leaned down to give you a second kiss this time on the lips

•And once he pulled away ya’ll were all blushing an giggly

•You both bid goodnight once more before you closed the door

•But let’s be real here both of you lean against the door totally fanning over the moment that just happened

•Bonus

•You and Hyunjin go on a whole bunch of other mini dates together while he’s in australia

•and when he leaves you wake up super early to bit him goodbye for like the last time and gives you the sweetest kiss along with a bunch of printed polaroids from your guys first date and literally every date you guys had

•The relationship was long distance for a while till you finally moved to Korea and let’s just say you guys were literally the cutest couple to walk the streets

chapter 6 asks that are people in distress about shinsou

SPOILERS FOR THE FIC, so it’s all under the readmore

** before i start, i just want to say, the sheer number of people who have guessed that it’s himiko impersonating shinsou is frankly alarming and equally hilarious. thanks yall

Anonymous said: OH MY GOD SHINSOU MY SON, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM??? HE DOESNT DESERVE THIS????? (for real, tho, that chapter was?? So good??? I'm so happy to have read this)

you’re absolutely right he doesn’t deserve this and im doing it to him anyways, which objectively proves that as an author i am not and never have been trustworthy. im sorry if i ever tricked you into thinking otherwise. im crying as well

Anonymous said: holy crap that chapter. where do i even start. i knew the kidnapping was coming up but that scene still managed to punch me in the gut. shinsou doesn't deserve this he just wanted to be a hero you guys. also the scene where izuku brought mitoki flowers was really great and i'm so happy that conversation happened. and the paintball fight? best thing i've ever laid my eyes upon. sorry this wasn't very coherent, i'm gonna go fling myself into the sun. thank you for this amazing chapter.

thank YOU for the feedback, i’m really glad you enjoyed the mitoki conversation & the paintball fight because those two scenes were the ones i was most nervous about. as for shinsou, you are very right. he doesn’t deserve this and im sorry

Anonymous said: WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! that was so intense!!!!!!!!!!!! that chapter was amazing you lied sorry ://// (izuku has a crush on shinsou and i couldnt be happier. sweethearts, the both of them.) SO MUCH HAPPENED AT ONCE IM FU KCIFNSICIAJX!!!! WHAT HAPPENED WITH SHINSOU??? MY BOY WHO THREATENED HIM. WHO HURT HIM??!?!?!!?!??!!??!?! i got so emotional all throughout this chapter i almost cried like 26 times that was wild af!!! NOW HOW DO I RECOVER FROM THIS!!!! (im so worried about shinsou. about everyone.)

hfjldksf thanks!! glad you enjoyed it!! im sorry for making you emotional. its the unintended side effects of tryin to convey izuku’s state of mind

i know this won’t ease your suffering much but for a while i intended for chapter 7 to be from shinsou’s point of view, and it was quite literally just titled “what happened to shinsou.” this may still happen. im not sure yet. stay tuned next for,

Anonymous said: *twitch twitch twitchy twich* omg suddenly i understand those comments from your betas. like. i'm legit speechless???? why. why would you do this, you evil writer from awesome land. like i just. im in like. the all caps state of shock. that FREAKING LAST LINE AKDJKLADSLKAJDSKLJLKJ. like. *squeezes air* i dont even know where to begin???? I MEAN CLEARLY I STARTED AT THE END BUT LIKE. so much. to talk about. like. the smile bits of gaming and cats and pics then THAT KAST KUUSJDFHSKJDHFSKJDHSJDF

i bait in readers with cute fun shenanigans and then i go in for the kill

(thank you for writing in, i’m glad you enjoyed the chapter <3 )

Anonymous said: no, but like, ur saying that chapter 6 is the worst one YET (which is a HORRIBLE LIE. this chapter was great. even if it let us all devastated afterwards. but whats a good fanfiction if it doesnt affect the reader tho heh(and your certainly is a great fanfiction. one of the greatest)) is it because of the giant clusterfuck that 7 and/or 8 is gonna be? (kamino ward, all might reveal, kidnappings+ SHINSOU) im legit worried haha ( btw "(accidental) dad might: Stealth Style" is my favorite tag now)

i cultivate my tags with pride. im glad you enjoyed that one in particular :3c and also... thank you... i was super insecure abt ch6 so it’s really nice hearing ppl liked it! i really appreciate it <3

the next chapter(s?) are going to be a clusterfuck so you are probably wise to be legit worried. preemptive apologies. i don’t know why im doing this and im sorry also

Anonymous said: I don't actually believe that Shinsou did it, naturally. Maybe the villains pin the blame on him cause it's easier to do it to someone that everyone is already wary about? I honestly have no idea, you're too unpredictable with some of these things

u have a good nose anon... but also when have i EVER been unpredictable about anything. my taste and storytelling is incredibly predictable in that it is always The Worst and Incredibly Self Indulgent. all you have to do to pick out the path im taking is think “what path allows simk to pander to their own interests the most?” and thats the path i’ll take. this is exactly what is happening with the entirety of this fic and especially with this next arc

Anonymous said: is shinsou being blackmailed?? controlled by someone else?? someone stole his face?? was he used as a hostage bc he interacted with class I-A more? or is someone threatening izuku again or.. ahhh idk what it is but I really feel he is not a traitor so: my current theories about shinsou. am I close??

yes to all of the above

Anonymous said: Pretty sure you didn't get many theories yet cause we are still in shock. Send help pls. (Loved the chapter btw that chapter was legit a roller-coaster of feels.)

theres no help to be found. i did this irrevocably and now theres nothing we can do about it

(thank you! i’m really glad to hear that, and hope that you have recovered from your shock :p )

Anonymous said: thoughts on shinsou's reasons: bakugou is a abusive shit who is undeserving of being a hero and made him lose all faith in heroes, blackmail, threats, brainwashing, some other type of convincing, he has been the traitor the whole time and you just want to kill us with angst, the LoV is threatening deku and if he doesn't help them they kill him, rage against society has reached its peak (same tho), or he wants to get back at bakugou, or the Cat Cafe is being threatened. please stop killing me.

this is a really impressive laundry list of unconventional reasons for shinsou to join the villain alliance. i love it. i too would become a villain in order to save my favorite cat cafe and spite a person i don’t like

@armcontrolnerve said: it was himiko in the study with the candlestick

d...does this make shinsou the murder victim

Anonymous said: I JUST READ THE NEW CHAPTER AND JUST WANTED TO DROP BY AND SAY YOU'VE UTTERLY WRECKED ME. I have tears in my eyes, I am currently flailing about like a fish while my brain goes into overdrive trying to dodge the reality of that ending. Shinsou was helping Izuku not two scenes ago, he was probably kidnapped and forced to do it against his will via torture or something. I refuse to believe that Shinsou is a villain and you cannot tell me oTHERWISE

good instincts. hold onto that feeling

Anonymous said: My guess: shinsou was kidnapped by Villain Alliance. Himiko Toga is using her quirk to impersonate him. But...why

bad pr image for yuuei

Anonymous said: all im thinking is that girl with the quirk that lets her shapeshift into people if she gets their blood and im just. oh no. shinsou. how could u do this to the poor sweet gay boy. meet me in the pit for a fight, and also a round of compliments for ur fucking writing skills. u made me cry. i love this fic so much but unfortunately i still have to challenge u to a duel, for the sake of these poor children, and their mental health,,, (ps i love ur writing and ur fantastic!! byeee)

if you kill me youll never get these children back alive

(thank u though... this made me laugh. rest assured that i will promptly apply all my writing skills to elucidating the mystery of what happened to shinsou)

Anonymous said: Shinsou probably got his quirk stolen by Sensei or someone is impersonating him I guess. Or his classmates are jerks and framing him or something. Smh

his classmates threw him under the bus

@sunslammerdown said: hi i am a person who reads your very extremely good fanfiction... thanks very much and also Wow Rude How Dare You. you said you were surprised at not getting more shinsou theories so heres my two: 1) It Was Toga, shinsou is kidnapped its not good 2) It Was All For One who can take quirks and use them on people and shinsou has a mind control quirk, its very not good still

what if its... 3) both, for maximum suffering, and the ultimate very not good happenstance

@viperofsand said: I am sure I had something in mind when giving my review while I was reading chap 6, but after the final part my mind was all 'WHAT THE HELLLLLL', so, there is that. Also, I am inaugurating #ShinsouIsNotAVillain2017 for this fic starting now.

this is a good hashtag. i’m behind it. i have no right to be but i am

Anonymous said: ok i'm trying not to panic bc of the cliffhanger but just tell me, will we know /why/ shinso is doing what he's doing ?? i'm trying not to spoil for ppl

no worries! we will find out exactly what happened to shinsou...

@auspiciouswhiskers said: How much do I have to pay for a Shinsou redemption and/or Shindeku endgame because pleeease you have responsibilities

you don’t even have to ask. its already under way...

(more specifically: you just don’t even need to ask. there just isnt a need. hold that thought for a shindeku endgame though bc who KNOWS where im headed with that)

Anonymous said: Izuku's gonna lure Shinsou with cats and everything will be just fine. Izuku holding up fuku, taka and isao: you know u can't harm them Shinsou: defeated

this is the ultimate villain shinsou ask. nothing is ever going to top this. you dont even need to fight shinsou you just have to appeal to him with cats and he’ll crumble instantly

Anonymous said: Eh, I don't know if I'm angry, but I am a tad disappointed if it actually is "what it looks like" with Shinsou. I mean his whole deal is that while his power seems like one that a villain would have, he doesn't actually want to use it that way. If he really is a villain in your story, that sorta defeats the purpose of his character, you know? But I guess I'll just wait and see what you plan to do with it.

that aspect of his character is probably what makes what im doing 100% more awful so i guess what im trying to say is: don’t worry it’s not what it seems, but also, i should not be allowed to touch a computer

Anonymous said: ok ok i have an idea about why shinsou provided inside help(i hope im at least a little right or im going to cry): he was threatened by the league? they saw him hanging out with deku and probably knew that he didnt know he was Hella Strong or smth and were like "look, if u dont want ur friend to die ur gonna have to Cooperate" and shinsou being an amazing friend was like "U LEAVE HIM ALONE U COCKROACH" and he did That. it probably happened in That One Stupid Horrible Month (please. PLEASE)

shinsou became a villain for deku confirmed. be gay, turn to the dark side

Anonymous said: honestly while i'm still Actually Dead over the latest chapter Izuku having his Gay Awakening over someone who stabs him in the back is Relatable lol

h...hold that thought...

also. i’m really sorry to hear that, and i hope you’re in a better place now. may your future gay relationships be blessed

Anonymous said: It's Mamoru. The ending to your new chapter is definitely a twist that I didn't expect at all. But oddly I'm not angry. Is Shinsou really going to be a villain? Because it kinda goes against he is fighting for. Or is he threatened?

spoiler alert...

@chocowl said: holy fuck simk

A theory: was Shinsou kidnapped by the VA and Himiko used her Quirk to look like him? That would explain the silence towards Izuku and would heal our tormented souls Q-Q

the truth is, the entire villain alliance is conspiring to fuck over shinsou, specifically

Rio: Not gone out yet Rio: I know, I know Rio: I'm moping Buster: Baby Rio: I will Rio: but Buster: What can I do to motivate you?

Buster: I'm about the hands on approach so we're gonna have to get yours out of the way first of all Buster: Need you to focus on me and what I'm trying to teach you Rio: [Pic to show she's done it] Rio: I'm so ready to listen and learn Buster: Good Buster: No half measures, yeah? Rio: No half measures Buster: You're so well behaved Rio: Does that make you happy, daddy? Am I doing a good job? Buster: See me after class for that extra credit Buster: Earning that A* easily Rio: You're such a good teacher Buster: What you gonna have waiting on my desk for me to say thanks? Rio: If I say me will you get mad, sir? Rio: I just wanna show you how much I appreciate all that you've taught me in person Buster: Do you think I should be mad at you? Buster: It sounds like you are just trying to be good Rio: Really good Buster: Okay then start slow, you've gotta be patient, babe I know it's hard Rio: Take me time, I remember Rio: but it feels so good, I want more Buster: I know you do but trust me Rio: I do Rio: you know what's best for me, you always make me feel better Buster: And if I was there I'd be worshiping every inch of you, wouldn't I? That's what you need to do Rio: If you could convince me to get up from off my knees Rio: You want me to make all the noises I would if you were here, baby? Buster: We both know I have in it in me to be that persuasive Buster: Slow but intense, yeah?

Rio: Yes, sir Rio: Sorry, sir Rio: Please can I spank myself, just once, because I deserve it Buster: Okay, you are being good enough Rio: I won't leave any marks Rio: because it's yours and only you're allowed to do that Buster: Well remembered Rio: How could I forget Rio: I can still feel that lesson Buster: I wish we could go over it again anyway Buster: Soon though Rio: You promise?

Rio: Almost like the real thing Buster: Nothing makes me feel as good as you but Rio: 'Course not Rio: it's like we were made for each other you feel so right Buster: We were baby Buster: That's why I don't want anyone else however long I have to wait for you Rio: Keep talking like that Rio: I'm gonna cum for you Buster: I love you and I'll always love you Rio: Oh my God Rio: Buster Buster: Just me and you forever, Rio Buster: That's all we need Rio: For fucking ever Rio: I'm going to marry you Buster: Fuck Rio: I love you so fucking much Buster: I can't stop thinking about that ring on your finger while you're fucking yourself for me Rio: Baby Rio: You like seeing that I'm yours?

Rio: Yeah Rio: you wanted me so bad Buster: The only girl I did want Rio: It drove me insane thinking I would never get to have you Rio: more than that kiss Buster: I'd get to have you every night but not like this Buster: Not real enough Rio: That's so fucking hot Rio: I wanna make every fantasy you had about me whilst you were fucking yourself real Buster: Only if I can for you too Buster: I'll never forget what it was like to first touch you or taste you Buster: I thought I'd die Buster: I'd have been happy to Buster: 'Cause that's what heaven is. You are Rio: You're literally perfection, a dream come to life Rio: I feel so lucky I get to spend my life with you Buster: Baby Rio: Yes? Buster: I just Buster: I don't have any words left Rio: Then stop talking and cum for me Rio: I know you need to, moan for me Buster: I have to Buster: It's so loud but I don't care Rio: Let them know who you belong to baby, who got you like this Buster: I'll get over being able to say your name like this Buster: As much as I need to Buster: never* (thats hilarious me just changing the meaning with my typos like) Rio: You don't need to, it's my favourite sound Rio: I intend to make you make it every day Buster: Promise?

Here’s a little back story: My best friend started dating this new guy that she met at a club, which was pretty funny because she didn’t even want to go to begin with but I begged her to come with me and a group of friends.. After a couple weeks, they decided to go clubbing again expect she asked me to go with her, so she wouldn’t be the only girl among all his guy friends. I really didn’t expect much, I was just going to keep her company and maybe just have some drinks. I wasn’t expecting to meet no guys especially because I had a 3 year off & on relationship with my ex. When we arrived at the club her new bf ”Tony” introduced me to his friend “Erick”. I really didn’t think nothing of it, he just seemed like a cool person that was casually hanging out at our table.After an hour, I was OVER IT. My Bff was all up on her boy and I was there basically by myself, playing on my phone so I wouldn’t look like such a loser. “Erick” could probably tell that I was bored out of my mind, The beginning was good, we went on plenty of cute dates and I was really starting to like “Erick”, he wasn’t exactly the type of guy I went for but we had so much in common and we began to get closer and closer. It was the first time in a while where I was genuinely happy. My mother was really happy that I broke the cycle of getting back with my ex but It started to go down hill once he began asking to see pictures of him but I always found a waybecause he walked over and handed me a drink. He was so down to earth a we basically talked until the club closed. After buying me flowers, we exchanged and we both agreed to see eachother again.My parents have never had an issue with me dating anyone, unless it was someone they approved of, and this is where it started getting tricky.. My family was this image of who they want me to be with: Tall, Fair Skin and Attractive. And if they won’t fall under those categories, they’ll basically rip this person apart. So that’s the type I want for, because subconsciously I felt like those were the only guys I felt I was “allowed” to date. My mom was happy that I moved on from my ex but it started getting tricky when she asked for a pic. She knew was up because every time I would start dating someone the first thing I would do (looking for approval?) After her confronting me about it, I told her the truth and showed her pictures of him. I got the reaction I expected, she shut him right down. She couldn’t imagine why a “beautiful” like me would ever go for a guy like that. It broke my heart.. But i didnt expect nothing more from her, but I tried to convince her that the pictures didn’t do him much justice, so she said she wanted to meet him in person. One of my coworkers daughters was having a birthday party so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for them to meet. As the days got closer and closer, I got so nervous. I really wanted to go well so that I could continue to see this awesome guy. The day came and well that’s when the glass shattered..My mom saved her feelings until we got home. My mom was so upset, and I had never seen her act as nasty as she did then. I tried to explain to her that regardless of what she thought I was going to see this guy but she wasn’t having it. She basically told me that she wasn’t going to have my back (she’s the liberal parent) and she wasn’t going to allow it. To make matters worse, she described him as a total monster to my father. I was in a hole and I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to stop seeing this guy. He was different yes, but more than just a physical way. He was kind, and respectful.. And shared the same morals and goals as me. My mom didn’t talk to me for about a month, she was so mean to me, she said things like I was cursed, or that I must be so desperate but I didn’t dare to tell “Erick” because I didn’t want to hurt him.I cried, and I continued to fight for this, and I just told “Erick” that my parents were becoming more strict because I was dating some new but that wasn't the case.. He just went along with it and stuck by my side.I came to a realization, I wanted to be happy.. Even if they didn’t approve. I was really falling for this guy. I was tired of pleasing other people first and bring myself second. I made sure to make that very clear to my parents.. Eventually they just gave up, they realized they couldn’t do anything about it so they just let me be, but they continued to give me obstacles like they gave me weird curfews? (I’m 21 btw). I took it as a win! They might not be 100% but at least I knew they wouldn’t be on my back about it constantly. Between our crazy work/school schedules, me and “Erick” were determined to make it work. We would see each other 1-2 a week for a couple hours and Sundays we would spend the whole day together. It wasn’t what we wanted but we were willing to deal with it because we were both head over heels for each other.Like any relationship we’ve had our problems, Trust was always a big issues from both parts. I’m not going to lie, when we first started talking I didn’t really take it seriously and I would go out with other people and do whatever I wanted but then caught me lying about texting someone (which was before we officially started dating) He wanted to end things, and I couldn’t bare to loose him. I had never begged someone to stay like I did to him. I had fought so hard and I didn’t want to loose him over a stupid mistake. When he forgave me, I promised myself that I wasn’t going to do anything that would put this relationship on the line again even if that meant having no male friends (like he asked)“Erick” has many friends that he knows the clubbing scene. He has a very cool humble personality that everyone gravitates towards.. Especially girls. But since it made him uncomfortable for me to have male friends, I told him I felt the exact same way about him having female friends and he respected that. There was this one time when he was talking me home before going to work, that he received a call from an unknown number. It was a girl, and he basically told me “it was a friend” but when she asked him what he was doing he said “on my way to work” instead of saying “with my girlfriend” and that really bothered me.After having a huge arguement, I got over it though because he’s always showed he that he loved me regardless of what's going on with actions and words. He would always put me first and whenever he would go out he would always make sure I was with him. There was never a doubt that he didn’t love me. I was the first girl I brought to his family, I became very close with them and I was at their house every sunday.Over time we constantly, became super controlling over each other.. I’m guessing because we both didn’t want to be hurt since we loved each other so much. Although we have been together for less than a year, no one has showed me the type of love he has showed me. I was willing to cut ties with my parents, who have gave me everything, in order to be with the man I love. My parents would hate when I would tell him what I was doing, or send him pictures of what I was doing they would say “oh you guys act like you're married and that’s not okay..” but I didn’t care, I loved the fact that we would keep each other on check.. It was mutual. It felt like the other person cared.One Sunday morning when he picked me up from my house to have breakfast before starting our day, I just decided to reach over and grab his phone he didn't notice because we have the same phone case but he would probably ask me what I was doing but we usually check each other social media because of the past problems but I didn't expect to find anything but the first thing that popped up was his messages.. he was having a conversation with one of his close friends where he stated “I'm going to make an excuse to Leslie so I can go out.” after his friend had invited him to go clubbing.which didn't seem like him because we were always on the phone but it made sense because at night before he said he was going to sleep early so that he wouldn't feel so tired picking me up on Sunday. I threw his phone and I started crying and I couldn't believe what I saw but I felt ridiculous and he immediately pulled over. He explained to me that it wasn't what it looked like, that he just dropped off a friend but I am clearly not born yesterday. Was he living the secret life all along? I didn’t understand what was going on it was a slap in the face. I got out of his car but he locked me in and was crying and asking me to not leave and to forgive him but I didn't want to hear because I felt so hurt. I told him I hand me over the phone again because I wanted to continue reading the messages and he what was fighting it and finally I came to message of him and a girl talking and she had asked him why he blocked her on social media and then they just had a conversation and then somewhat made plans to hang out.I have never felt so broken how can my perfect relationship crash. I fought so hard for this.. I got out of the car and I tried to walk home but he begged me to let him take me home. It broke my heart to see him the way he was.. I had never seen him cry in so much pain but then I realize he's only crying because he got caught.when I got home my mother was mortified to see the bruises on my arms and the tears in my eyes she asked me if I was in a car accident and I gave her a summary of what happened she thought he hit me but Just i tried to explain to her that he didn’t and she even said to call the cops. All he was doing was trying to keep me from jumping out of the car.my mother then took me over to his house to drop off all his stuff and his mother was waiting outside for me and she asked me if he caused those bruises on me.. I told her he didn't hit me. They were there because he didn't want me to get out of his car but I didn't make it OK for him to put his hands on me and not let me leave.Erick is a good guy and I know he would never hurt me. He would never put hands on anyone that's just the type of person he is. I know he did grab me but it was because he was concerned about me leaving because he didn't want me to leave. when I got home I told my dad everything and he was upset but he was more happy than anything because that's clearly not what he wanted me to be with. I blocked him off of everything I didn't want to know anything the whole afternoon I just cried and cried like it that was a mourning a death.that Monday night I couldn't take it and I called him when I heard his voice I broke into tears and I just wanted an explanation and I wanted to know why? And what else he hid for me. he told me that that wasn't the first time he lied to me in order to go out with his friends and you had danced with a girl twice (salsa). he swore to me he never cheated though in a weird way I believe him. he said that his friends were constantly bagging on him about not going out anymore and being too into his girlfriend that he just wanted to stop them. he begged me to take him back he told me over and over again that I knew that he love me and that he made a mistake. I told him that I would never forgive him because there's many girls that have his number and I would never be comfortable and he has to many girls on a social media, although he didn't talk to them I just didn't want to be involved anymore.other than that my parents would never allow it.. if things are bad bad before things are Worse than ever. They threatened to kick me out if they ever found out I started talking to him again.All he did on the phone was cry and he told me that things would be different in that he would delete everything on social media, change his number. He told me he was going to TRY, until his heart told him to stop trying. That he was going to make me fall in love with him again. And that he should have never listened to his friends because hes always respected them when they were in relationships. He said all he needed was me, family and his close friends because i never did anything wrong and because I was the “one” and if my parents cant allow it, he would want me to move in with him.Erick is not one to just say things and not mean it. Other than this he never really let me down he's always been there for me and I can truly say that I was in love with him but these actions made me really think if I didn't catch him, would this continue to go on? People don’t change.Is it worth going against my parents? Who have given me everything for a guy that I love with all my heart. I’m clearly not ready to let go..I need the blunt truth, no sugar coating please, I need help sorry for the typos.. I can't sleep and It's pretty late. via /r/dating_advice

Dating & Why I’m Bad At It

So, you’ve probably gathered that I’m gay. I’ve never felt it something that I need to just outright declare; not because I’m ashamed or embarrassed about it, but I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal. But when delving into my dating life, I thought it best to start with complete clarity.

I’ll make a post eventually about my personal struggle with my sexuality, but today I’m skipping to the relevant stuff: the shitshow known as ‘dating’. If you’re looking for some deep Carrie-Bradshaw-esque analysis of past dates and what went wrong, then you’ve come to the wrong place. This is definitely not Sex & the City. It’s probably closer to No-Sex & the Not-City.

I’ll admit: there are probably better people to follow when it comes to dating and for navigating the oceans of people out there. In reality, I’m quite new to all this. As mentioned in my last update, I was a very heavy guy for a very long time, so dating wasn’t really common. As I’ve only just recently begun to feel comfortable with who I am and how I look, I’m putting myself out there to find my better half.

And so far, dating blows.

Now let me just say that I don’t consider myself conservative. I’m fairly open-minded and allow interactions to progress as quickly or as slowly as I am comfortable. However, I do tend to draw the line at meeting random strangers for the first time at their house at 3am. I completely support and encourage people that are capable of doing something like that, but it’s just a little beyond my own comfort level.

However, what I’ve noticed in my own futile dating efforts is that sex comes before the relationship. Everyone seems to be looking for something casual; a hookup, a one-nighter, a friends-with-benefits agreement. It’s only after developing that sort of interaction that a deeper connection blossoms, eventually evolving into a mutual partnership.

What about the ones that like to put the relationship first? I’m assuming there are still men out there that would prefer to know someone before hopping in the sack with them, right? Again, I’m not casting judgment on the decisions or the lifestyle of others; I understand the appeal quite well, frankly. But for me, I’m not secure enough to do the horizontal mambo with someone I just met. Several times I’ve been declined on an offer for dinner because he wasn’t “looking for something serious”. What is it about a dinner invitation that makes me sound like I’m wanting something serious? Is it too much to ask that I have an hour of interaction before deciding to put out?

I can only assume this atmosphere is linked to the popularity of app-based dating. Dating has always been hard, but your competition was usually limited to the other guys at the club. Now I’m competing with every other individual in a 50 mile radius. Don’t get me wrong – it’s definitely a convenient tool for meeting people. I’ve never been one to spend a lot of time out at the clubs or anything, so it’s nice to ‘shop from home’, so to speak. But with that, the moment he loses interest in you, he’ll find a handful of others to choose from in minutes.

I’m not saying I’m perfect, either. I’ve been ghosted just as often as I have ghosted others. I’m never upset or angry about it; usually just disappointed. Interestingly enough, some of the most fun I’ve had on dating apps is with the catfish profiles that you instantly recognize are fake. Usually an extremely attractive guy with too many photos of his chiseled torso that volunteers at homeless shelters and takes care of his elderly grandma. You know it is too good to be true, but then he sends you a message, and you can’t help but reply. Of course, he’s exactly the kind of guy you are looking for. His answers to your questions are always rehearsed and practiced and what you want to hear. There’s usually some reason why he’s not able to meet up; he’s out of town or moving or swamped at work. It doesn’t stop you from continuing the dialog, probably getting flirtier and more sexual. Maybe exchanging more pictures. And during all of it, even knowing it’s all fake, I feel the warmth of excitement of just having someone to flirt with. Having someone tell me the things I want to hear. Having someone compliment me on how I look or whatever I was proud of that day. I’m never sad to see them go; I am sad to return to my solidarity. Because, even though it isn’t real, an imaginary flirtation is better than none at all.

As for meeting guys that I’ve encountered on apps, I can only say this: I don’t believe anyone intentionally misrepresents themselves when talking to others through dating apps. I think we all portray ourselves as we wish we were. Nobody starts a profile with “I’m clingy and needy and desperate for your attention.” Maybe they don’t think they are, or maybe they know they are but also know that it would drive people away. Personally, I try to be mindful of my faults and to bring them up at some point. Every guy I’ve met has been aware that I’ve went through a drastic weight-loss journey and still feel insecure about the way that I look. They’re aware that I’m new to dating and unsure of myself and what I’m wanting. They are aware that at any given time, I would probably prefer to be at home playing games on my computer. What continually frustrates me is having someone tell me how outgoing or talkative he is and meet a quiet hermit instead. Or someone passionate about a certain genre of books/television that has nothing to contribute about the topic. Please don’t tell someone things they want to hear just to get a date. Be yourself. So far, it’s completely failed for me, but I suppose that’s better than having to continually lie to someone to keep them interested.

And before I end this segment, I’d really like to throw out a few suggestions for anybody with a dating profile or intending on making one. These are just my own personal checklist items, but feel free to modify at your discretion.

- Don’t use a group photo for your first picture. With most dating apps, potential suitors are provided that first picture and can then decide to delve deeper or pass. While it is easy to think that a group photo may cause the person to look at your other pics to see which guy is you, it doesn’t always work like that. - Quit. Using. Snapchat. Filters. I know I’ll catch a lot of hell for this one, but Christ-Almighty, I am 30 years old. I don’t think you’re cute with puppy-dog eyes or a wreath of flowers or bunny ears. I think you’re childish. - In fact, quit using filters altogether. I don’t care that you look better in black and white, because I don’t see in black and white. Don’t be afraid to just be yourself in your photos. That’s what I’m looking for. - Keep them updated. Again, I’d like to date today’s version of you. I don’t care that you put on thirty pounds in the last two years as long as you’re upfront about it. What pisses me off is the deception. - I don’t need 5 selfies from the same angle. One or two are fine, but a full profile selection of the same pose/angle in different outfits doesn’t give me any better understanding of who you are. - Shirtless pictures are acceptable or rejectable on a case-by-case evaluation. I wouldn’t use it as the first picture, but some exceptions are permissible*. I also don’t need to see you flexing in the mirror, but some exceptions are permissible*. In general, I would just avoid using pictures of this nature in profiles, but again, some exceptions are permissible*. *For the record, the quality of what you’re displaying does not go into consideration for whether a shirtless pic is ‘permissible’. It’s not like the more defined your abs, the more I like the photo. It’s usually just how I infer the reasoning behind it. If you’re at home in the bathroom with your shirt off taking pics in the mirror, then it’s intentionally showing off. If you’re at the gym with your shirt inched up, then maybe you’re just proud of your results. It all depends on the reason the picture is used. - Don’t use pictures that feature parts of your body that exclude your face. If you can somehow take a picture of your ass that also includes your face, then fine. Otherwise, don’t use it. - Also, don’t use pictures that don’t include you. I can see pictures of the Eiffel Tower and shit just fine on the internet, I don’t need your help. Pictures of your pets are fine (AND ENCOURAGED), as long as you are in the picture with them. - Try to include at least one photo that you didn’t take with the intention of using it on your dating app. C’mon now, let’s all be real. 95% of those selfies we take is because we want to look cute on our profiles. Using one where maybe we don’t look the absolute best is appreciated. - As far as the text goes: don’t get too serious. It’s pretty pointless putting paragraphs and paragraphs of information about yourself that will typically go unread anyway. However, it is important to put something. There’s been several occasions that I have swiped left on guys I’ve found attractive because they didn’t bother putting a single line about themselves. It doesn’t have to be pages of detailed information; just a couple quick sentences about who you are/what you do/what you like will suffice. Avoid being too self-deprecating. While I enjoy someone that can critique themselves, I prefer confidence. Lead with that.

So that’s about it. Maybe I’ll have some better tales to tell in the future, but for now, it’s still swiping and praying.
