Journey through time - Part 5

Summary: Your relationship with Syverson over the years.

Warnings: fluff and only fluff.

A/N1: Last part to this mini photo series. Thanks to @agniavateira who has provided me with so much inspiration. Also thank you to everyone who read and liked and commented. You guys make me so happy. (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4)

A/N2: I'll be taking a small hiatus from posting fics for now. But I'll be back soon. ❤️

As much as Sy adored his daughter, secretly he had always wanted a son. Two years after Adeline was born, when he was back from his oversees tour for three weeks, Sy took it upon himself to get you round and plump with his kids again. He was overjoyed when you told him over a call that you were pregnant. Although it saddened you both that this time, Sy wasn't going to be around when you gave birth to your child. When you told him he was going to be a father to twin boys, Sy had hollered with glee, making a couple of his men come knocking at his door to see if he way okay. That was a very awkward call, where you were waving at his men while they congratulated you. You sent him a copy of your sonogram, along with a picture of you with Adeline in a care package. "Mini me's," He would say while looking at the picture, "And my princess with my queen." Your heart would flutter like the very first time he had kissed you; upsetting you at the distance and yet also filling you with love. Sy asked his parents to come live with you, help you with Adeline, as you got big and started experiencing difficulty in moving around. When you went into labour, his mother tried to get him on call, just like he had requested. But they were unable to connect to his phone, wondering if he was safe and sound or just away doing things that were expected of him to do as a captain. Your emotions were unbounded when you gave birth to your sons, worrying about Sy and going through the long process without him. The next day, Sy saw his sons for the first time over the video call, happy tears springing in his eyes as you cradled the two boys in your arms. "They have your eyes, Sy. Have you thought of names yet?" You had asked, having decided long time ago that since you had named your daughter, Sy would name his sons. "James and Noah." He had sniffed out, smiling at you lovingly.

Captain Syverson retired as Major Syverson after serving 20 years of active duty. Sy joined as a coach for Little League Baseball team, becoming a favorite amongst his players and their moms. Every morning you would kiss Sy goodbye as he walked out the front door, holding little Adeline's tiny hand in his to drive her to her school on his way to work. Your days were filled with less worrying about Sy's safety and more on providing a loving family for your kids. It helped that at the end of the day, your dining table was occupied with your children and your loving husband, sharing their day's events. Weekends were spent in parks with the whole Syverson clan out for picnics, you watching your husband running around with James and Noah, Adeline who was a spitting image of her father, perched on his strong shoulders. Somedays you couldn't believe your life turned out the way it did, mostly when you would walk inside the living room to find Sy sprawled on the sofa with Adeline curled on his side, James and Noah snoozing on his chest. You would wake him up, carefully peeling your daughter away from her father and take her to bed, while Sy got both boys in his arms with little to no effort and took them to their own room. At the end of the day, when parenthood and responsibilities left you both weary, you and Sy found solace in each other's arms while drifting off to a peaceful slumber.

It was the most devastating day in Sy's life when his teenage daughter told him she wanted to pursue modelling. Adeline was stubborn and opinionated, graced with Sy's beautiful features. He had stared at his daughter with wide eyes, cup of coffee stopping midway to his mouth. "You want me to be okay with grown men gawking at you?" He had gruffly replied, anger evident with his eyebrows knitting together and his lips forming a frown. You had learned over the years to not interfere with Sy's ways of parenting. James and Noah had awkwardly slid off their chairs, both of them avoiding what was to come next. The discussion had ended with father and daughter, arguing with each other, eventually Sy sending a crying Adeline away to her room. Neither of them had spoken to each other the rest of the day, Adeline refusing to eat dinner and Sy drinking too many glasses of whiskey. "I cannot believe she thinks modelling is a career choice." He had scowled later in the night, you both staring at the ceiling while lying in bed. "Didn't you once tell me you had hated your father for sending you off to military school? Do you want your daughter to hate you?" Sy had sighed, turning on his side to face you. "That's different. Adeline's our little girl, it's my duty to protect her." Understanding completely what Sy was feeling as a parent, you had too turned on your side and placed your hand on his scruffy cheek. "You taught her to be strong, independent. She will always be our little girl. Don't you trust her to take decisions for her life? And even if she fails to do what she desires, don't you want to be there for her when she would need her dad?"

The next day you had watched from your kitchen window as Sy and Adeline talked while sitting on the swings in the backyard, ending with long hugs and lots of tears.

While Adeline roamed around the country for fashion shows, Sy groomed his sons to join the army someday. It was not an acceptable behavior, but both of you had your favorites when it came to the twins. Noah, the stronger of the two was decidedly his father's favorite, adding to his delight when by the end of high school, he wanted to go to a military academy. James, the apple of your eye, on the other hand, wanted to become a doctor, much to Sy's dismay. But lessons were learned from the time with Adeline and for that reason only, Sy did not oppose. Noah was sent off to Virginia to a military academy, going on to join the air force as it was affiliated with his school; while James buried himself in studies, moving to Connecticut to attend medical school. Weekends that were spent with picnics in the park, now consisted of video conference calls with your three kids spread out over the country. "It's just going to be you and me in the end." Sy would say, shutting the computer off and looking at you pensively. Wounding your arms around the love of your life, you would rest your head on his shoulder and agree, "Till death do us part."

On your 30th wedding anniversary, Sy gave you an unexpected surprise. He had been missing from the house since morning, only to send a vague text with "Pack your bags and come out in ten minutes." When you walked outside on the front porch, you were left stunned to find Sy dressed in riding gear on a super bike. "I think we need to relive our days from the time we were dating. Come on, I've planned a road trip for us." And with that, Sy had driven all the way to San Antonio for the weekend. With a hotel room on the river, Sy pampered you with all his love and the best Tex-Mex food he could find for you. You spent the day shopping and exploring, while in the night he made love to you with unbridled passion. "My better half," he had called you, kissing your hands while cradling you to his chest. When you both came back home from your trip, you had another surprise waiting for you: Your three children all under the same roof again, holding up a sign board with "Happy anniversary, mom and dad."

Noah had successfully climbed the ranks in the airforce to become Lieutenant at an age younger than when Sy was one. But it was when James, inspired by his twin, decided to join the armed forces as a field doctor, you saw Sy's chest puff in pride. "Syverson men always join the military." He had told his friends over dinner one night, soaking up the praises for his children. Adeline joined a major modelling agency that speared her career forward. She roamed around the globe, sending her old folks trinkets from the new city she was in, and one day added a picture of her and her boyfriend in the mail. Sy turned into a protective father quickly, inviting her and her man to have dinner. "I like him." Your old man had chuckled, when he had scared Adeline's boyfriend, making him blabber incoherently with nervousness. You could only watch in a haze as one day Adeline's boyfriend showed up to your house unannounced, to ask Sy for his daughter's hand in marriage. "Listen boy, Adeline is precious and if you hurt her, you know there wouldn't be anything worse than us. You don't want to be on the bad side of the Syverson men, is that clear?" You had heard Sy warn, a shiver running down your spine listening to his commanding tone, even if the threat wasn't meant for you. A few weeks later, when Adeline was in Paris, she had called home only minutes after the proposal, screaming on the phone that she said "yes." The rest of the night, Sy had you looking at Adeline's baby pictures from old photo albums. "This little bundle would be getting married soon. Can you believe that?" He had laughed, wiping the tear at the corner of his eye and throwing his arm around your shoulders when you couldn't hold onto your own tears.

The day after Adeline, Sy's little girl, was married, he threw a brunch for the newly weds and their families. James and Noah, back from their deployment in time for their sister's wedding, had introduced their own girlfriends to both of you before the ceremony. You knew Sy would never admit it, macho behavior of his never fading, but you could see his eyes glisten watching his family grow. He had tried to keep a straight face throughout the ceremony too, but he had let go of his tears when Adeline had laid her head on his shoulder during their father-daughter dance. Halfway through brunch, Sy pulled you away from the crowd and took you towards the orchard outside the country club. He held your hand while taking you to stand under the shade of a massive tree. "It's like I'm living in a dream." You admitted, looking out at the sprawling orchard, thinking about how you were a mother-in-law to someone. Sy pulled you close to him by your waist, encircling his arms around you. Gray hair on his temples and his face beginning to be marked with wrinkles and yet for you, Sy looked like he had never aged. "I know I don't tell this to you very often, but darlin' running into you, falling in love with you, building a life with you, is the best thing that could have happened to me." He kissed the top of your head, taking your face in his hands before planting a soft kiss on your lips. "I love you and thank you for everything, Sy." You whispered as the birds chirped on the branches above, a whistling breeze blew by carrying the sweet fragrance of fruits in the orchard and you stared at the brilliant blue orbs of the man who had owned your heart and soul since many years ago.

The End.

Debut.

Seventeen AU: 14th member

Jangmi x Seventeen

Recap: SVT’s debut has finally arrived

Words: 1k

AN: Requests are OPEN: Please please please send me what you want to see from Jangmi. I’m also open to feedback :)

Also also, I briefly skimmed over the Minghao & Jangmi situation, which you can read about in Jangmi’s relationship with 97 Line

Jangmi’s Masterlist

“I’m debuting. You’re debuting. We’re debuting.” Seungkwan screamed whilst waiting in line for his makeup to be done.

“Stop ruining your voice, we don’t want any voice cracks do we?” Their manager yelled.

Their main vocalist dramatically shut his mouth, pretending to lock it with a key. Jangmi laughed, causing her makeup artist to put some pale lipstick on her chin.

Once she was given the all clear by her makeup unnit, she sat down on one of the plastic chairs in the corner of the room. Having 14 members in a group was a bit too big for the music venues to handle, so there wasn’t a sofa, only plastic chairs. Jangmi didn’t mind though, she was more preoccupied on the fact that she was finally debuting.

Grabbing her phone from the table, she quickly scrolled through all her texts. Most of her relatives back home didn’t really know she was debuting, but the ones that did had sent her loads of messages, wishing her good luck. Sungyeon had sent her an entire paragraph of how proud she was of her, and that she couldn’t wait till they did a collab one day at an award show. Her parents had sent her a selfie of them waiting in the audience, next to Vernons’ parents.

A creaking sound beside her made her look up from her phone. Minghao had sat down beside her, holding out an apple slice. Jangmi shook her head. She wasn’t allowed to eat anything till after their performance today. She was absolutely starving, but she knew that if she ate now, she’d feel nauseous and throw up on stage. Imagine that for a debut.

“I promise I’ll eat after we’re done.” She held out her pinky, which he shook. Jangmi lay her head on his shoulder, being careful not to ruin her hair or put some of her foundation on his shirt.

She started humming along the tune to one of their b-sides on the ep, and then felt Minghao tapping his fingers to the beat on his lap. She smiled and kept humming along, occasionally adding some of the words in.

She stopped humming in confusion when he had missed a few of the beats. “I’m really sorry.”

Jangmi lifted her head off Minghao’s shoulder and turned her body around so she could face him properly.

“Don’t be sorry” She fake scolded, talking faster than she anticipated.

Once she realised that her Chinese brother hadn’t understood her fast ramble (tbh she wasn’t sure if anyone would have, since it didn’t even sound like Korean to her), she repeated it again slowly. Adding on a bit at the end. “It’s just a little bump on the head. Nothing super important. I can still dance fine. Plus I got to relax for a few days. I forgot what it feels like to actually feel my legs.”

She squeezed his knees and stood up, pulling down her demin shorts, which in her opinion were a little too short. She then pulled Minghao up aswell, and dragged him towards the rest of the members who were all taking pictures together next to the door.

They all took a bunch of pictures, with Jangmi making sure she took at least one individual picture with each member. She made an ‘8’ symbol with Minghao, got a piggy back from Mingyu and did an exaggerated fake cry with Dokyeom (who was already sobbing- bless the makeup noonas).

Soon before she knew it, they were getting ushered by the venue staff up to the stage.

Walking to the stage felt like a blur. She barely remembered putting on her earphones, or picking up her shining black mic. She did remember tripping straight into the glass door though. Luckily no one besides Jun saw, and he was too busy untying his earphones.

Her members quickly grouped into a team huddle, with Jangmi squished between Dino and the groups resident beanpole.

Seungcheol gave a quick motivational speech, something about how they’d been waiting for this moment for such a long time, and how they had to give it their absolute best. No half assing it. This was the real deal.

Truth be told, Jangmi wasn’t paying attention to his words as much as she should, as she was trying to memorise the looks on all her brothers faces. They looked so determined, and so happy and she wanted nothing more for them to be happy. They had been through hell and back, numerous times, with each set back in their debut plan. And even last week, Hoshi had told her that he was still scared that the company would push back their debut once again.

Speaking (technically thinking) of the devil, Soonyoung brought her out of her thoughts by suddenly screaming some last few pieces of advice. That is, if you would call it advice. “I’ll buy you chicken if there’s not a single mistake in the choreography.” Jangmi sighed, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to have the food even if she danced as well as Beyonce. “Stupid diet,” she muttered, of only a handful of pitiful veggies and plain ass un seasoned chicken breast.

They did their final cheer, and quickly walked up to their starting positions on the stage. Jangmi had a quick inspection of the crowd, trying to find her parents. Instead she saw Seungcheols’ and Jihoons’ family, who gave her a wave and a thumbs up.

She continued moving to her position but was intercepted by Hoshi. “I’ll sneak some chicken to you. Don’t worry.”

She chuckled and held out her pinky. But he didn’t even notice, as he was already whisper-yelling at Jeonghan and Joshua for not being in the positions perfectly.

“Rejected!” Chan whispered, whilst standing back to back with her.

Jangmi rolled her eyes dramatically, remembering to give him a sarcastic response once the performance was over

As the music started playing, she quickly glanced at her brothers beside her and her family in the audience (even if she couldn’t find them, she knew they were there).

This was it. She’d done it.

Changes 13

Do you agree that things change in time? Well four years abroad would tell wouldn’t it?

Changes Masterlist

Pairing: Reader x Jeno ft. NCT`

Words: 2494

Warning: Swearing

“Hey Y/N, do you know a guy by the name of Park Jisung by chance?” Chan asked out of the blue as the four of you were at one of Soonyoungs favorite restaurants.

You were glad that Soonyoung and Chan seemed to take a liking to Jeno who they accepted as one of their own when they got to know him and his past. It seemed that Soonyoung had taken a big liking to him because in the end, it was Soonyoung sitting next to Jeno and not you. It was fine though because in reality, you were a bit closer to Chan since you were closer in age and he had helped you during your training camp when you still weren’t fully recovered.

You raised your eyebrows at your best friends name while Jeno’s ears perked in curiosity. Why would anyone be asking about Jisung?

“He’s one of my best friends.” you answered after you swallowed, “We met at summer camp after my first year abroad and he’s the only other partner I’ve had that wasn’t Renjun.”

“Ah, the one Xander told the group chat about that dropped you on your face. The bruise on your cheek looked nasssty dude.” Soonyoung said, cringing.

“What? He dropped you?” Chan asked, eyes wide, “Why didn’t I know this?”

“Xander only told the leadership group chat. Apparently this Jisung kid was flipping her and she got dropped on her face during rehearsal for their summer camp dance competition.” Soonyoung explained, “This is why I still ship RenY/N as my ultimate partner OTP.”

“Renjun rarely lifts me though.” you stated, “And if he does, he can’t hold it for long. This is why I can’t compete with him on a partner level.”

“I think you two would do fine.” Soonyoung commented pointing his chopsticks for emphasis, “You guys managed to choreo ‘Rewrite the Stars’ in eight hours which was a feat in itself but the fact that it was almost perfect is something else. It’s the main reason why I wanted to ask you to dinner tonight and it’s just convenient that Jeno’s with you and that you actually know Jisung. Makes my job a lot easier.”

“Your job easier?” you and Jeno asked at the same time and Soonyoung nodded, taking out two envelopes and handing it to each of you.

“You guys don’t have to answer yet obviously, but I need an answer by next semester so we can start the preparations, especially for you Jeno.” Soonyoung said as you both opened the envelopes, you already had a suspicion as to what it was but it was the contents inside that made tears well up in your eyes when you saw who the letter of recommendation was from.

For Jeno it was different, he had two letters. One was a letter of recommendation for Chan and an official offer letter from the Selects Foreign Division signed by the owner of the Selects Academy herself along with Soonyoung and Jongins signature as witnesses. He was too absorbed in reading the letters that he wasn’t even paying attention to how you were reacting to yours.

After you finished reading the letter, you felt as if your heart was going to burst, “When did he even write this?” you asked seeing that it was dated only days before your departure.

“He gave it to me when I went to visit him a few weeks ago...Jongin has something else as well but we wanted to be the ones who gave this to you…”Chan muttered from beside you, “He really did believe in you, you know.”

Feeling the tears spill, you stood up catching Jeno off guard and he looked up from his letters to see you running out of the restaurant. Before he could react, Chan had gotten up to chase after you and from the restaurant window, he and Soonyoung saw Chan wrap you in an embrace as you broke down. Not the silent crying Jeno had seen from you in the last few days, but actually full blown sobbing.

His heart ached seeing you in that state. He could see you shaking in Chans arms as you sobbed and Chan was running a comforting hand through your hair, whispering things in your ear in an attempt of comfort. He turned to Soonyoung when he heard him sigh and he too was watching you and Chan outside the restaurant with a pained look on his face.

“Xander wrote the letter didn’t he.” Jeno said, asking Soonyoung for confirmation and the latter nodded.

“He had it for a long time now…” Soonyoung said and turned to Jeno slightly surprised, “Did she tell you about him?”

Jeno nodded, “She said he was the glue that held everyone together. Sounds like he was a true leader.”

“He was...He knew Y/N and Renjun before any of us met them but he always talked about them everyday after classes. Their talent, how they always seemed to butt heads but when the music started it was like they were floating on water. He knew after their first year that they’d be a perfect addition to the Selects. We all knew from his texts that he may have liked Y/N as more than a friend and we thought they’d end up together before we even met her…” Soonyoung started remembering all the times Xander would tell the group chat that he found the perfect duo to join the Senior ranks, “But after summer passed and we all met up, the way he talked about her was like how an older brother would talk about a sibling. We knew that he took Yuwen under his wing at the request of Yukhei who he considered a brother at the time but after Y/N was casted, things changed drastically.”

“Cause she got into the accident and didn’t tell him that it was Yukhei who caused it” Jeno commented and Soonyoung nodded, “Yukhei goes to SMAA, we’re in the same dance club...they had a blow up last night after they found out about Xander. That’s why we’re here, she wanted to get away and I wanted to be there for her.”

“And I now understand why she held out all those years.” Soonyoung said putting his hand on Jenos, giving him one of his bright smiles, “You really do care about her don’t you.”

“Of course…” Jeno stated, “She’s the reason I worked so hard for Nationals last year...I actually thought I wouldn’t see her again.”

“Then it was fate.” Soonyoung said, “Listen, about the offer. Don’t feel rushed okay?”

“How is this possible if I didn’t even do a Semester abroad?” Jeno asked the first question on his mind.

“You’d be in Chan’s boat since you’ve won a National title, plus his Letter of Recommendation was an added buffer.” Soonyoung explained, “From pre-lims to Nationals, he followed you through the whole thing and though it’s uncommon, everyone on the Leadership Team thinks you’d be the best suited for the role.”

“And what about Y/N?” Jeno asked, “She just got one letter right?”

“Jongin has her offer letter.” Soonyoung assured, “She was on our radar for a while now and all she has to do is finish this term. I also assume that you know that she’s being casted again right?”

Jeno nodded his head, thinking about how you’d probably have to leave once more. Was he ready to let you go so soon after only getting you back though? “She’s going to have to leave again won’t she…”

“Probably...I’m not sure what Jongins plan is...Junior performance season is his section...Chan and I jump in once training camp starts next semester when we start holding auditions.” Soonyoungs brows furrowed, “Can I actually ask you a question?”

“Of course…” Jeno said and looked outside to see Chan holding your face in his hands as he wiped away your tears and the two of you seemed to be having a conversation.

“Don’t tell Y/N this yet but Xander wrote a letter of recommendation for someone else as well…I was just curious if you knew why.” Soonyoung started.

“Who?” Jeno asked, raising his eyebrows.

“Park Jisung.” Soonyoung said and Jeno froze, “In the letter, it said that he saw great potential in him after one meeting. All he has to do is pass training camp which means a semester abroad. If he passes training camp, then he’ll receive an official offer.”

‘One meeting…’ Jeno thought to himself. When would Jisung have met…his eyes widened, “They must have met when he was taking care of Y/N after she collapsed. We were in the middle of competition season and he booked it after they announced that I would represent the school in Nationals.” he muttered, “We all thought he was upset and no one could find him. Taeyong just told us he had a family emergency but Jisung never talked about it. No one knew where he was but one of our friends who were friends with both of them but she kept tight lipped.”

“That explains a lot. Xander did say he visited her with Mia after he found out what happened..” Soonyoung commented, getting the full picture now, “He was always someone who was easy to open up to. They probably got to know each other in a short period of time since he was with her till they left for summer camp.” he gave Jeno a bright smile, “Okay, then I’ll let Jongin know to accept his application.”

“Wait what?” Jeno asked, astonished, “He sent in an application?”

“Mhm…” Soonyoung said nodding, “I can’t say anymore but thanks for the information.” he then looked up to see you and Chan reentering the restaurant, your eyes slightly puffy but it was clear you were trying to hide it with your fake smile.

Jeno saw through it right away and got up to meet you halfway, gently holding you by the arms, he asked you in a concerned tone, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” you said giving him the best smile you could muster, “The letter made me emotional and I didn’t ugly cry. Are you guys ready to go?”

“Yea, just let me get the bill.” Jeno said and Soonyoung was quick to get up.

“I said I was treating!” he said quickly following him to the counter making you and Chan chuckle.

“So you’re okay with him taking a leadership role?” Chan asked, looking at Jeno and Soonyoung talking. In reality, the two of you were ready to come inside quite some time ago but the two seemed to be getting along so you took the opportunity to discuss some other things.

“If he wants to then yea of course.” you said, “I don’t think he expected it though judging by the way he looked.”

“I don’t think so either but his skills are too good to miss out on. He’d have to attend the last two weeks of training camp but that's about it. He’d receive credits through the training program anyways so it’s not like he’s missing school.” Chan explained, “And after that, you guys just take a semester off every year to lead training camp and compete at the scheduled events. You know how we do it.”

“I love how we do it. It just shows the strength of the team.” you said knowing of the complex training/practice program the Selects had, “I guess it helps that few of us are based here and can actually meet up.”

“That’s what I look forward to the most.” Chan said with a grin, wrapping an arm around your shoulder looking at Jeno who was still fighting Soonyoung to pay, “you got yourself a good guy. I’m happy for you.”

“Thanks Chan.” you said leaning into his shoulder as you saw Soonyoung successfully tap his card on the card reader after grabbing it from the cashier.

“You guys should come for breakfast tomorrow then, my place isn’t that far from here and then we can pick up whoever you need to from the airport.” you heard Jeno suggest to Soonyoung as they walked back to you.

“Really? You’d do that?” Soonyoung asked with a big smile, “That sounds great.”

“Renjuns coming down anyways and they’re all meeting at my place so yea, it’ll all work out.” Jeno said with a thumbs up.

After everything was settled, the four of your parted ways with the promise of meeting early the next morning. When you got back to the penthouse, Jeno put down the shopping bags on the coffee table before he wrapped his arms around you in an embrace and put his face in your hair as he felt your arms wrap around his waist and you let out a sigh of relief.

“Are you feeling better after you ugly cried?” he asked, muffled and felt you nod.

“He was just so honest about everything in the letter...he told me why he didn’t want me to say goodbye...he said that I was already in good hands and he wasn’t worried about my development.” you said in a whisper, “He said he was proud of who I became in a short period of time...it was just too much.”

“He’s not wrong you know.” Jeno commented, pulling away slightly to look at you, wiping the stray tear, “Now no more crying okay? We have to prepare to be bombarded tomorrow morning. Knowing Jaemin, he’s going to have that awful coffee concoction on his way so he’ll be wired to drive early.”

“Renjun and I are probably going to have to meet with Jongin and Soonyoung privately, are you going to survive being with everyone else for a while? I’m sure Chan will join you too if he isn’t busy.” you asked looking up at him as he leaned down to brush his nose against yours.

“If I must.” he let out a sigh as you giggled, there was something about Jenos presence that made you feel uplifted and you knew that what Xander said in the letter about him was right but you weren’t going to tell him that, “Will you be okay though?”

“Of course.” you reassured, ‘As long as I have you, I’ll always be okay’ you thought to yourself as you leaned up and he met you halfway, brushing his lips against yours. You still couldn’t believe that this was happening but you were glad that you were open with each other, that you didn’t feel the awkwardness but instead butterflies when his lips were on yours.

You weren’t sure where things were going with him yet, but everything from what Xander said in the letter, to receiving Chan and Soonyoungs seal of approval, it was all leading in the right path. You just hoped that you would be able to pull through with what had yet to come.

Top 50 NaLu Anime Moments {Pt 1}

And thus we get back to me fangirling over my favorite NaLu moments once again, only this time we do it based on the anime-only moments, which covers: canon, filler, movies and ovas. 100 year quest is not included bc it hasn’t been animated (yet) and it’s still fairly early in the story to start listing my fave moments, so we’ll just cover these I mentioned. If you’re not up to date with the anime, I recommend you skip this list.

Originally, I was just going to do 30 moments, but the list kept getting bigger and so on, and here we are. So I’ll post from least favorite to, well, most favorite, and will divide the list in 5 posts. In this first one, I’ll list my fave moments from 50 till 41.

Warning: lots of gushing and fangirling over a beautiful ship. also, a few moments will be differently placed on this list contrary to where they ranked before (some may be higher and some may be lower) and that’s due to the fact that some of them were better in the manga, whereas some were better in the anime, and some of them are lower simply bc dragon cry exists. so, here we go,

50. “Hang out with me a little longer.” (Ep 125).

We starting off with a filler moment, and you may wonder why it’s so low, since it’s such a cute moment. One, it’s filler. Two, it made into the list, which is already saying something. There’s many great NaLu moments, and they have a lot of scenes together, so choosing only 50 moments was hard enough, so no judging the rankings, kay? It’s the only scene ever where Natsu and Lucy are dancing, so I couldn’t leave it out. It’s such a great moment because, especially at first, Lucy hardly initiated the NaLu moments, and this was post Tenrou, which is known for its NaLu amazing-ness and where the ship truly start to develop, so to see Lucy grab Natsu’s hands even though he “ruined” what she thought would be a romantic moment, and just pull him in for dancing, was actually really sweet, especially at the sound of “Glitter” which is a great song. Also, it’s easy to miss, but Natsu is blushing when she pulls him to her so they can dance, which made the scene extra cute. Let’s ignore the fact that he probably puked on her next, lol.

49. Lucy stops Natsu in Edolas. (Ep 82).

Does anyone else find amazing the fact that Lucy can calm down Natsu and talk him out of so many fights? Natsu Dragneel, the guy who storms into fighting without a second thought? Because I do. And this moment here is no different. Back when I was watching this, I had no idea where we were going with NaLu as a ship, esp bc I knew Lisanna was coming back this arc, so it was nice to see them having moments like this, where you can see Lucy’s affect on Natsu, the way she calms him down, even when she’s upset too, like you can see on the photo. Also, a back hug, which is a total NaLu thing, so it’s a must on this list.

48. “That was dangerous. Thanks, Lucy.” (Ep 59).

BLUSHING LUCY IS SO CUTE! Srsly, though, I love seeing her blush over Natsu, especially so early in the series. I headcanon that she had a little crush on him around this time, but didn’t know how to deal with it, so she just buried it, but moments like these would happen, and it would slip out. Also, the matching outfits are a plus! I don’t have much to say about this moment, other than it’s hard to show this photo to someone and have them explain how could this be platonic in any way. I mean, they’re friends, ain’t nobody denying it, but it’s not just that.

47. Original Team Natsu is formed. (Ep 3).

Time to travel a bit back in time, back to when I didn’t even ship NaLu, and they certainly did not have romantic feelings for one another, but it’s still a pretty special moment, and that’s when Original Team Natsu, which consisted of Natsu, Lucy and Happy, was formed. I love how in sync they were with each other since the beginning; they certainly had immediate chemistry with one another, even when they were still getting to know each other. Gotta add this one, bc, where would we be if the Everlue mission never came in about? If they never needed a blonde? I mean, Natsu would probably choose Lucy anyway, but this was very essential to the building of their friendship, as it also opened the door for them to start spending time together.

46. Natsu saves Lucy from Zash. (Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry).

And from one jump in time, to something more recent, and where Natsu and Lucy are 100% the ship we love, which would usually not be so low on the list, but God, there are so many moments that weight more, especially on the emotional side, for me. This moment I feel it’s important to point out bc we all know nothing good was about to happen to Lucy, and Natsu once again comes through to save her, to make up for the fact that he almost hurt her, and he just burts in yelling “Give Lucy back!” and just wrecking in everything and punching that creep in the face. And he still picks Lucy up in his arms and is all flirty with her and starts sniffing her. Also, for someone who complains about Lucy’s weight, he sure doesn’t mind holding her like this, does he?

45. Lucy and Natsu falling from the waterfall. (Ep 59).

For those of you who don’t know, I feel it’s fair to point out Orácion Seis is my least favorite FT arc (yes, I know Alvarez exists, but at least it’s entertaining), and the only thing I really liked about it was Jerza, Wendy’s introduction, and, well, the moments with Natsu and Lucy, individually and together. I wanted to bring this moment in because it’s always nice to see Lucy being the one to save Natsu, but also because it shows how their relationship is slowly but surely progressing; before, every time he got motion sickness, she’d tell him to snap out of it or just call him pathetic. And then, somewhere along the way, she stopped finding it ridiculous. As we can see on this moment, I think for the first time, she’s so worried about him and goes on to save him even when she’s all banged up too, and she risks her life to protect him, even when he’s about to be sick right at her chest. She doesn’t ridiculize him, she doesn’t roll her eyes at him, nor ignores him, she steps in to save him because she already cares about him so much. It was a nice development in their relationship, and I’m very grateful for this moment. It’s always nice to see NaLu being reckless together.

44. End of the Starry Sky arc. (Ep 150).

And whereas in one we had Lucy jumping from a waterfall grabbing onto Natsu for dear life to protect him, here we have Natsu straight up jumping at the sky to save Lucy from falling to her death (again), with a beautiful scenery, with all the stars falling, nice background music, and, after the long roller-coaster arc we had, ending it this way, with Lucy giving Natsu one of her sweetest smiles after he catches her and then throws himself on the ground as they fall so she doesn’t get hurt, gave such a warm feeling to my heart. The nice reminder that although Lucy had lost all of her family (Layla, Jude and Michelle), she still had a family right there in him, in everyone else at Fairy Tail, and they would always be there to catch her.

43. The “almost kiss”. (Ep 219).

While I’m sure we all knew there was no way Lucy and Natsu would be kissing in the middle of the anime, and certainly not in an omake, it was very entertaning to see how they both would react to the suggestion of doing so, which resulted in: Natsu was all okay going for it, and Lucy became a flustered mess. I like how the anime added her heart speeding up when Natsu came closer, right before she pulled Happy to the middle. And can we talk about how Natsu just went for that kiss, though? He didn’t seem bothered by it in the slightest. Oh, if only Lucy wasn’t so shy! But it’s okay, I’m sure it’ll be even better when it actually happens in the actual story. Also, kudos to little Asuka, the mvp, speaking for us NaLus and trying to make dreams come true right there, lol.

42. “We can’t let it end here.” (Ep 122).

A small addition the anime made for the scene where they’re all getting ready to defend themselves from Acnologia, during Tenrou Island, which was very much appreciated. To see once again how Natsu knows exactly how to comfort Lucy, how he gives her hope, how they become stronger together, and have so much trust between them. Also, holding hands, which is always welcomed. They could have shown Natsu comforting anyone else, literally, it could have been anyone else from the guild who felt hopeless, just like they could have had anyone else comfort Lucy and give her hope. But, for this situation, who better than these two? They do so much for each other. Moments like these, filler or not, showcase how important they are for one another and the affect they have on each other. It could be their very last moments of their lives, and they were spending it with one another. Simply amazing and very touching.

41. Last moments before the war. (Ep 291).

Yup, I love this moment. I love how Natsu knows war’s gonna break out the next day (it happens on the same night but only bc Zeref is extra like that), and he goes to spend his last peaceful night at his favorite place, with his two favorite people, Lucy and Happy. I also like the talk they had and how Natsu explained himself to her, about how he loved fighting, but he didn’t like hurting/killing, and he only wanted to protect his guild. In moments like this, you can see Lucy look at him like that, like she’s thinking, yup, that’s why I love him so much. And when he says stuff like that, I think she can’t help admiring him even more. And this is the moment that opens the “let’s talk of the future” thing between NaLu, which has a nice conclusion by the end of this arc, which I’m sure you all know what is, and I’ll bring this moment back, but we’re still far from it. Anyways, a great moment because, even though it’s little, you can see how close they are with one another, and after spending one year apart, they’re more than happy to stay with each other for their last peaceful night too bad it gets interrupted huh.

Part 2 will be posted tomorrow!

on ‘BE’ing here: part i

rambling of sorts on Grammy nominated artist Bangtan Sonyeondan

(note 1: I was planning to complete this the day of the nomination, but judging from the state of how things are - this right here is the opportune moment to, as my friend Mint had put it, clear out whatever I��ve been wanting to do but didn’t get the time to)

When Spotify announced, loud and clear, on that 2020 Year-End summary instagram story, Dynamite was the song that helped me through 2020 (this fuck-up of a year), that wasn’t an understatement.

I’ve seen Bangtan before, heard of them in passing, even (slightly, really slightly - when you’re hanging out in film-dom or western doms, I doubt you’d come in contact with a full-fledged Korean dom as it is, or perhaps my circles were small and quite closed in on themselves. Regardless!) - and opened that Boy With Luv SNL performance for my parents on the TV in the living room, not long after they went on the show. But it took that one song, one full English song, for me to listen.

(sorry and thank you Namjoon for that diss. Yes, the song’s message’s definitely digestible and easy to consume - for foreign, western audiences. No one much had to care what you guys had to say way back when and they were wrong for it.)

Dynamite pretty much saved my life. (Still waiting for that damn vinyl, BigHit. Think I’ll get it come new year’s.)

The first time I started listening, I couldn’t really stop. I think I played and replayed and replayed the song 20++ times as I did mundane household chores which were asked of me in the morning. Sunday August 24th, my life was transformed (and my digital and physical wallets along with it. Sobs.)

I had no idea who was singing which part, no idea which boy was which, but what got me in, locked and loaded and in place, were the beats, the uplifting sounds that got me dancing again after a messy heartbreak caused by a personification of immaturity who had refused to let go. I was only one week into my new job (old job again now. Such is the way of life - and we lead separate ones now, no reason to cry over invisible lives and imagined smiles or smirks of satisfactions I am not in any current position privy to - or will ever be. Thank God.)

Then there were the messages - the lyrics - “I’m diamond, you know I glow up.” - I mean, Yes, Fucking YES - Kim Seokjin, of course I’m a piece of precious Jewel. Of course I am one and whole of myself and one of a kind (apologies for being cliches, felt good to type out loud right). Asked on Twitter who the “other black-haired” guy was and learned that it was Hobi. Spent time watching a couple of interviews, took 3 hours to tell the boys apart (”You had a lot of free time,” Shareef said, amused, and I quite abashedly admitted to him yes.), and picked him as my bias (little did I know).

I was attracted (still am) to sunshine. I needed smiles and laughters like his in my life. He stood out to me in almost every interview, beaming with his heart-shaped lips and his eternal catchphrase - “I’m your hope.” I was exactly at that point in my life when I needed to hear that. From him, in that voice, from those lips, with those eyes.

And I thought, dear god. I’m always attracted to guys who bring smiles to my face. Of course it has to be him.

(Natalie replied “You’ve joined the party!” in a reply to my screencap of Taehyung wearing those adorable black-rimmed glasses on Stephen Colbert not long after.

That Beatles-Boy With Luv performance remains one of my favorites.)

youtube

Bangtan has since performed and performed and performed Dynamite, and to this day I and the rest of the fandom have witnessed and seen about 30++ performances of Dynamite, and it has yet to grow old on us. (Well.) I swear I can still play the song at least once a day, and that irresistible bubble of hope in Jungkook’s voice in the opening simply shines through. The rest of the song just does its magic - every single time.

I mean, “Life is sweet as honey,” “I’m in the stars tonight,”? Talk about hope, about confidence, looking forward. Straight and simple as that. I had yet to discover what BTS truly has in store.

Note 2: My favorite dance move in the performance itself is Hoseok’s, for the Japanese taping (FNS Music Festival) right here.

youtube

After Dynamite, I burned through the usual favorites, seeing as there was a literal treasure trove of Bangtan songs to discover and listen to, thanks also to this chart.

Go Go and Pied Piper are fun teases to listen to every now and then. Their Halloween dance practice and MNet countdown (I could die over Tae’s clear-rimmed glasses) are bundles of colorful energy. (Until I came across Lotte 2018 Jungkook?! Adding Best of Me here because it’s become a recent favorite. Dance moves are impeccable. There was a stint in my life where I was watching the Airplane Pt. 2 MV almost every day because of how in love I was over Taehyung’s whole look - pink hair, flowing robes, and how the boys pull off their outfits. )

I proceeded mainly through the orange branch, bought myself a few Love Yourself albums along the way, and the day I saw this Min Yoongi in In the Soop, my Bangtan life took a turn.

Yep. Simplicity.

What’s not to fall in love with?

One of my current, low-ranking regrets may include having forgotten the exact moment I first listened to Trivia: 轉 Seesaw, but I fell hard and deep. To that point of no return when I read the lyrics and that analogy Yoongi had penned.

I mean, add Autumn Leaves (the complexity of layered notes, beats, and resulting emotions... ah) and you’ve got this king of breakup songs right here.

What beautiful words, what gorgeous language. I wish I could learn Korean just to fully appreciate the message.

Another friend recommended me Butterfly and I lost my shit realizing they referenced Murakami.

More obscure songs like 134340, Paradise and Sea I didn’t get to till much later. Whalien 52 could make me cry just with the lyrics alone (I doubt my exes had ever felt that level of emotional toward me - the more tragic thing is that the doubt would always exist). Just One Day was that track I had on loop this one afternoon I had to go into town for a dinner party, and Miss Right was an accidental discovery that had me grinning and blushing to the boys’ voices alone, same as 21st Century Girl (’Cause you’re my only girl, oh yea. If you love me, just say it straight. We love a confident but committed guy.)

*Dope is that one MV I waited to watch because of my love of uniforms and managed to get to on a day I could not recall.

*This MIC Drop MAMA performance is the hottest clothes-on, turn on performance I’ve ever watched.

Coffee was the track I first listened to on a drive back from a rather unsuccessful and uneventful beach (bitch?!) trip, and the bitter nostalgia cut me deep. Jungkook’s voice could string up my soul any day of the week. Yes, baby, I still drink Caramel Macchiato every time I think of you - the song, not the person, or any person at all.

I discovered HOME because of this comfy Kimmel performance and died over the camaraderie and obvious ties they have as a family.

youtube

Plus a blue-themed home, uh, have you seen my bedroom, sir?

Boy With Luv will cheer me up any time of day - no thoughts but blue haired Tae and bubblegum pink haired #Jimim, indeed. (That mirroring of a glow-up from the 상 남자 of Boy In Luv is genius. Girl, ‘m not begging for you no more, but letting you know that I’m whole and ready and intent on keeping you safe.)

Spring Day I listened to on an off day in October and wrenched my own heart over the lyrics, even starting off a chapter in one of my fics with the verses that hit me most in particular.

The ON:E concert re-introduced me properly to Filter, My Time (sexy personified as a performance), Persona, Interlude: Shadow, Ego, UGH!, Moon (Prince Kim Seokjin - you have my heart, and my light, always), and 00:00 (picked up through Twitter that it was the song for personal therapy and reminded me of that quote - nothing good ever happens between midnight and 2am, go to sleep. Add 2!3!, which I’d properly listened to after viewing the ON:E exhibit, to this and we are done.)

It wasn’t until I listened to Blood, Sweat, and Tears that I went full-blown head over heels (more than I was before). I’m a musical theater kid, have always been at heart, and those boys dancing in the suits and literature and arts references. You could have just plunged that knife a bit deeper into my heart.

youtube

Needless to say that I bought Demian couple of days after (my 3rd Herman Hesse! Regrettably not my favorite.)

Blood, Sweat and Tears joins my own mini self-compilation of songs on the attraction and sublime relishing of a toxic relationship. That sweet temptation that’s so lush in theory yet acidic in real life.

You’re willing to give it all to this person, this passion, this love, this lure of attraction, imprisonment, and just lose yourself.

You’re begging to be hurt, even when you know it.

You’re asking to stay bathed in acid, drown yourself in punishment, and you’re okay. As long as the “you” in the lyrics is ok - to have you.

You’ve signed over your mind, your body and soul - “I know well they’re all yours” - what sinful admittance, what a delicious way to say you’re under the other’s spell. Not like I haven’t been there before (fitting to think of Jimin holding that apple. God.)

“Peaches and Cream/Sweeter than Sweet/Chocolate Cheeks and Chocolate Wings” - talk about dessert, about diabetic, diabolical sweetness that both indulge and burn your soul. These are saccharine metaphors and goddamn if I wasn’t and am all over them.

Sweet as they are, they melt - they expire, they’re tangible but transient, and you’ve chosen to have them anyway, just to taste them, just to know, to satisfy your sense and just to possess.

“There is a ‘bitter’ next to your ‘sweet’“ - this is my kind of writing. My kind of getting your sweet now and being punished for it later, the kind my friend had commented before of living for today and choosing to forgo the punishments of tomorrow that you’re all too aware of.

And here comes Hoseok!

Kiss me, it's okay if it hurts Just make it as tight As that I can't feel the pain anymore

Goddamn. That Blade Runner 2049 phrase about how pain makes you human - this is next level of hurting just so you could feel. This is hurting to know that it’s real - that the ‘you’ exists - and this “tightness”, this tense sensation, is only reminding you that the lover(?) is worth the pain (grit your teeth and continue!)

Baby, it's okay if I get drunk I'll drink you in deep now Deep into my throat The whiskey that is you

Intoxication - another one of my favorite topics sprouting a platitude of interpretations. Aside from being a sucker (and loving it myself) of saying “baby,” (signaling intimacy, no less) - this is an artful, eloquent way to sketch another version of “love is the/a drug,” which the lover/”you” is consciously consuming with consent.

There’s a repeat in the “d’s” that definitely conjures an imagery of diving deeper and deeper into a bottomless abyss, or of drinking your bottles dry - but this is a translation so that’s that.

But where we have been (or were) in love, we could feel the other person intoxicating, consuming us, consuming our senses, straying our conscience, blurring the lines among reality, reasoning and our own thoughts and what they may have driven us to think or view, just like alcohol or drugs would lead you to do. That inebriated state would be just a self-enriching cycle of docile submission and self-driven continuance.

It doesn't matter if it hurts Tie me up so I can't escape Hold me tight and shake me up So that I can't come to my senses

Like Jimin with the cloth over his eyes in the MV, this is another conscious decision to be held imprisoned, bounded, senses so disrupted you’re choosing to stay. I don’t know about you, but there’s an inkling of weakness in me when I’d chosen to do that, to opt for that choice and stay in something I was fully aware from experience wasn’t going to last (’can’t come to my senses’) but choosing to blind myself to indulge in the fleeting sweetness anyway.

When you’re making that firm and persistent decision to beg for pain and consciously choosing to numb your senses so you could feel nothing else but what you may have thought you desire to feel - you’ve got it bad, baby. That absinth’s hit you hard.

(And we love it.)

Kiss me on the lips A secret just between the two of us Deeply poisoned by the jail of you I cannot worship anyone but you and I knew The grail was poisoned but I drank it anyway

Yoongi’s “Kiss me”, like his “불타오르네” (and obviously “용서해줄게“) in Fire may as well linger in my ears as my personal on-demand whisper sounds. His voice is that sexy as fuck ASMR I never knew I needed (and queue Ben Whishaw’s...)

Here we see “poisoned” harking back to intoxication, and “jail of you,” calling back to the whole verse I’d interpreted above before. What interested me here was the couplet - “Kiss me on the lips/a secret just between the two of us” - kissing as an act of sealing a deal or secret reminds me of age old love songs, of promises made between lovers before they part. Not to mention, this is that sexy, 섹시한 way of “sealing the deal” you may have heard about.

“I cannot worship anyone but you...” holds the lover up high, almost godlike, maybe on a pedestal. It’s that everest, that peak point when you’re more than head over heels in love, when you’re able to see no one but this person. “Worship” is that word signaling holy, direct, and submissive devotion - just powerful.

“...and I knew/The grail was poisoned but I drank it anyway” - again the voice of submission in line with above verses, submitting yourself to temptation, same as biting into that apple despite knowing consequences. “Grail” embodies the whole MV image of the classics.

Close my eyes with your caress I can't resist it anyway I can't even escape anymore

You are too sweet, too sweet Because you are too sweet

“Close my eyes” is the same as asking to be blinded (see above). Adding “with your caress” only enhances the intensity of the speaker’s desire, of the intimate and physical nature - you know full well what that person does to you, your heart, conscience, and senses with just one simple touch or the trace of a finger on your skin - especially someone as addicted to skinship as I am. The repetition “You are too sweet...” brings us back full circle to Namjoon’s dessert verses, intoxication, indulgence, and submission.

What a delicious song. I fall in love every time I listen.

Second song in my trilogy is Love Maze - an intoxication of a different, lighter flavor yet still an an intoxication nevertheless.

youtube

Trapped in a maze of decisions Exhausted by all the different chaos We’ve wandered around, looking for the answer Lost in the maze, in the darkness

Jimin’s first verse traverses over the trials and tribulations of every day life - naturally we’re caught in decision-making from the moment we open our eyes (ah, sigh. my major. what the hell), and that, in extreme cases, can escalate to choice paralysis). Life is a mess, to say simply. At times you can feel (and you are) lost in some sort of maze which seems impossible to escape from.

[Verse 2: Jungkook] We ran and ran endlessly But all the fake noise Can’t tear us apart It’s true baby [Refrain: Jimin, Jin] We must believe only in ourselves Can’t let go of each other’s hands We need to be together forever

And now this is just asking your partner to hold your hand throughout the darkness, holding hands while the walls come tumbling down type of way.

[Verse 3: RM] People say That I’ll end up a fool But I don’t wanna use my head I don’t wanna calculate Love ain’t a business Rather like a fitness I’ve never been in a calculating love I know it’ll be cold like winter But I still wanna try

Yup, sure. Love isn’t logical, and we feel it when we feel it. This is a more considered version of love or succumbing to temptation/infatuation, compared to Blood, Sweat, and Tears, see here:

If you push me, I’ll fall, just raise me up again Even if I pull, you don’t have to come

Upon a close look, this is the more confident, the more ‘out-there’ you - like a rocking doll, a full human ready to get back up on its own once fallen, not a blind follower or submissive slave. What I find particularly captivating is the bottom verse - “Even if I pull, you don’t have to come” - this is a show and declaration of independence at its finest. I’ll woo you, I’ll say I want you, and I’ll grab you toward me, but you “don’t have to” be with me, [if you don’t want to.] (Plays I’m Fine)

No matter what others say, don’t listen Just let’em talk, whatever they say The more they do, the more I’m sure

Honestly this reminded me of a past relationship, where figurative hand-holding was the emphasized union to help us make it through. Would have been half the fight if it was that aspect alone, though.

Baby just don’t give a damn

This is the sentence I sing to every single time I play this aloud. The sentence.

I always think, even if eternity is hard I wanna try it, let’s be forever

My ex once asked, “How long is forever?” just ripping off that sign in a mall we walked past, and yes, that’s what I do remember about us. Part of it. Since then, mentions of eternity like this has always hit me.

And forever doesn’t exist, guys. COVID does.

(Bad joke, sorry.)

The song that completes the trilogy is one I discovered only last week. My last BTS x Steve Aoki crossover: Waste It On Me.

Queue neon club lights and bad decision drinks. Kook being Kook, his voice in songs like these, House of Cards, and Savage Love slices you right through, like a young, impressionable boy asking you to give this love a try, to forget yourself in being attracted to him, and to waste the time you aware you’re willing to waste on him:

[Verse 1: Jungkook] You say love is messed up You say that it don't work But, you don't wanna try, no, no (You don't wanna try, no, no) And baby, I'm no stranger To heartbreak and the pain of Always being let go (Always being let go)

This verse, man. When your heart’s rusty and battered and beaten and broken enough, “Baby, I’m no stranger/to heartbreak and the pain of always being let go,” is that overwhelming elixir to slosh it altogether, like soaking your lone damn heart in warm bathwater, and with Jungkook’s inviting voice, you may have added your favorite flavor of Lush bathbomb.

[Pre-Chorus: Jungkook, RM & Jimin] And I know there's no making this right, this right (This right) And I know there's no changing your mind, your mind (Your mind) But we both found each other tonight, tonight (Oh yeah) So if love is nothing more than just a waste of your time

It’s that exact moment when it’s the night of your birthday, you’re all dressed up with only one place to go in a town where you knew a handful of people, and the guy at the bar had bought you a shot of mysterious substance to drink. So you’re here. So he’s here. And the drink’s here, between you two, and you’ve downed it in. And you’re here.

So why not?

‘Waste it on me’ is a sexy invitation in itself, that momentarily grasp for pleasure. Ok, yea. I’m all yours.

Tonight.

[Verse 2: RM] So we don't gotta go there Past lovers and warfare It's just you and me now (Yeah, yeah) I don't know your secrets But I'll pick up the pieces Pull you close to me now (Yeah, yeah)

Namjoon’s voice has always been sexy to me. Masculine, dominating, in control, in the same way that Yoongi’s raspy, gravelly voice grabs you and stubbornly holds you close.

Maybe this guy you’d just met in a club’s blabbering away to pierce who you may have been or who you’re presenting yourself to be just for you to be with him, and takes ahold of your waist before you could say no.

What do you say?

Yay, don't you think there must be a reason? Yeah, like we had our names Don't you think we got another season That come after spring? I wanna be your summer I wanna be your wave Treat me like a comma I'll take you to a new phrase Yeah, come just eat me and throw me away If I'm not your taste, babe, waste Waste it on me

I’m speechless over the “Treat me like a comma, I’ll take you to a new phrase,” wordplay. Most of all, it illustrated my past relationship in that all too on-the-nose way, for me and him both. English is sexy, man, please don’t ever say it isn’t.

“Yeah, come just eat me and throw me away/If I’m not your taste, babe.” I’m partial to babe as much as baby, let’s be real. Haha. The whole “come just eat me” paints that picture of the speaker being “consumed,” just devoured whole (echoing the earlier image of being “washed over” from “I wanna be your wave”) by the to-be-lover, without a care, a giving-himself-away submission reminiscent of Blood, Sweat, and Tears’ intoxication and blind bondage. The speaker here doesn’t even care if he’s not tailored to the ‘lover’s’ desire, ready to be discarded, treating himself here as disposable, even worse than Love Maze’s partnered hopefulness and teamwork or Blood, Sweat and Tears’ irresistible, spellbound attraction.

Aaand there you have it, my ramblings on Bangtan (as of now). There’s just so, so much - I’ve recently received my HYYH Pt.1 (RIMBAUD! SEXY CONVERSE!!! BOYZ with FUN!) and YNWA albums, not to mention my rap line songs, vocal line, In the Soop, Performance details, Run BTS (source of joy and laughter, more than any man has ever affected me), Premiums, and the whole “Love Yourself” concept + B.E. Itself.

I’ll be sure to pop back in very, very soon!

Danganronpa V3 Character Rankings

My rankings for each character, plus a little paragraph for why I put them there. Spoilers ahead.

16. Korekiyo Shinguuji

I hate him. He’s creepy and he freaks me the hell out. Plus he killed two characters who I loved very much. Plus he was a really obvious killer. Even though the seesaw trick was incredibly clever, he was obviously the killer from the start. To add insult to injury, he’s voiced by my favorite English voice actor. He also shows us the unquestionable truth that incest, truly is wincest.

15. Ryoma Hoshi

I don’t have any problem with Ryoma actually. I’m just incredibly indifferent to him, so everyone who I actually like is above him. I honestly don’t really have an opinion on him except that he’s kind of cute as a ship with Gonta. I liked how he was so willing to give himself up for everyone else at first, and that he let Kirumi kill him, it made him seem like this person who’s already been through so much that he’s just finished with his life. He gave the impression of being just so... tired. And I thought his death was really interesting.

14. Tsumugi Shirogane

I actually like Tsumugi a lot. I thought she was a really relatable character at first, and then I thought she was a pretty cool mastermind. I hate that she got Kiibo killed and killed both Rantaro and Kaede, which is probably why she’s so low. Also just... her cruelty is so needless. During the sixth trial she’s so horribly cruel to the other survivors up to that point, but, once the jig was up and they knew what was going on, she really didn’t need to be. Unless my theories are right and it’s all a lie anyways! (*nudge nudge*)

13. Gonta Gokuhara

Again, not me disliking a character, just liking others more than them. Gonta is such a pure cinnamon roll who truly did not deserve what happened to him. He was taken advantage of by someone who just wanted someone to do their bidding, but Gonta was such a legitimate sweetheart to everyone. Even Kokichi. He only went with Kokichi and allowed himself to be manipulated because he thought it was the best for both Kokichi and everyone else. He just wanted to protect everyone, and he deserved so much better.

12. Kaito Momota

I liked Kaito a lot more than I thought I would. I went into the game expecting him to be a Hagakure type character. I thought he’d be loud and annoying and I’d get fed up with him quickly. But he proved himself to be quite likable in the end. His relationships with Shuichi and Maki respectively are what really make him likable. After what happened to Kaede, Kaito really picks Shuichi up by the hat and doesn’t let go until the hat falls off. And he single-handedly got Maki to come out of her shell and start caring about someone. Honestly, without him, neither of them would have any character arc. Which is part of what makes his death so amazing and so tragic at the same time. At least he got to stick it to Monokuma with his death.

11. Miu Iruma

Oh god Miu. Why do I love Miu. She’s just so damn entertaining I can’t stop loving her. What was Kodaka thinking when he said he made her to be unlikable?? Her death is the biggest turning point of the whole game for me. It does so much for so many characters and just outs Oma as such a truly despicable person (or at least that he’s acting as one) and she herself is just so much fun to watch. And I absolutely adore her relationship with Kiibo. They’re just adorable, whether you choose to interpret them as friends or lovers there’s no denying that they’re a perfect match.

10. Tenko Chabashira

Tenko is one of those characters who occasionally gets annoying, but you still just can’t help but love them. Before chapter three I was more neutral towards Tenko, but once she had raised her death flag right before the seance I realized that I really really REALLY did not want her to die. To the point that I almost started crying and was actively shouting at my game for Tenko to NOT go along with the seance. And of course, her ‘unrequited’ love for Himiko was (while slightly creepy) still sweet and something that was relatable for me (I’ll hang around people when I want to be friends with them). Her death was really the booster behind Himiko’s character arc too, which is just another bonus.

9. Kirumi Tojo

I’m honestly not sure why I like Kirumi so much. She’s just such a good person, even if she does murder someone she only does so because she honest-to-god believes with all of her heart that doing so will save the lives of so many other people in the outside world. She treats everyone with the utmost respect, and she’s an incredibly intelligent person too. I mean, you need to be smart to come up with and carry out a murder plan like the one she had. She created what would have been the perfect crime if not for the inner tube and the black gloves that she only had to leave in the pool because she would have died if she tried to retrieve them. I love her reserved calmness and how she just LOSES all of it once she’s discovered. That’s what really set her apart from Peko, she refused to accept her death and even tried to escape her execution, which just added so much. Also it doesn’t hurt that her execution was pretty damn cool.

8. Kaede Akamatsu

Honestly she would have made a great protagonist all the way through. I love how she helps Shuichi so much and is just so desperate to save everyone that she resorts to killing the mastermind herself. I love how Kaede’s trick was ultimately what outed Tsumugi as the mastermind and that, even after her death was long over, her absence weighed heavily on the rest of the game. She does so much for Shuichi as a character. She gives him his confidence in the first chapter, but takes it away again with her death, showing that the truth isn’t always the better answer and that, by fining the truth, Shuichi is sometimes just making the situation worse. She makes him doubt himself once again and leaves room for Kokichi to take advantage of this and for Kaito to step into her role as the one to help Shuichi get his confidence back. Of course, her memory doesn’t die as the one who left Shuichi to lose his confidence once again, he heeds her advice and remembers her as someone who believed in him, and that’s what she needed to be.

7. Maki Harukawa

I went in pretty indifferent towards Maki. At first I thought she was going to be a Kyoko type in a game that already had its Kyoko (Shuichi). I was expecting her to be the stereotypical cold girl with a tragic past, and she ended up being so much more. With the twist that ended up forcing Shuichi to step out of Kyoko and Chiaki’s role, Maki really took over in that area. She’s an intelligent and interesting character who is far from being perfect. She makes mistakes, and she lets her emotions get the better of her despite trying to be cold and emotionless most of the time. Even then, she tries to be selfless and protect her friends at the end of the game. And, despite her cold exterior and avoidance of relationships early in the game, she lets herself become close with Kaito and Shucihi. Leading to one of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the entire game when she confesses to Kaito, just before he's dragged off to his execution. And, even then, she maintains a strong friendship with Shuichi, who clearly trusts her and is willing to rely on her for good reason.

6. Himiko Yumeno

I mostly just think that Himiko is really cute and I find the whole ‘always tired’ angle pretty relatable. I love her relationships with both Tenko and Angie and I adored her reaction to their deaths. She had one of the most realistic reactions to losing two friends in all of Danganronpa, and the CG of Gonta carrying her back to her room after she cries herself to sleep is absolutely adorable.

5. Shuichi Saihara

I don’t think loving Shuichi needs much explanation. He’s incredibly sweet and has severe anxiety and self-esteem issues, which makes him incredibly relatable. And the relationships he forms with Kaito, Maki, and Kaede are truly what help him begin to overcome this. While I often say that I wish Shuichi had been the mastermind or how cool it would have been if there was a twist where he had been a corrupt detective or if he had killed someone, I’m till very happy that none of these were the case and that our precious detective got to live in the end. He’s just a very likable character and someone you really cheer for. He’s so incredibly supportive of all of his friends despite he himself being the one who really needs their support and assurance to have confidence in himself. And I want nothing more than for him to gain this confidence and be happy with himself.

4. Rantaro Amami

I mostly love Rantaro so much because he has so much potential as a character and I have so many specific head canons about him and his relationships with others that just make him so lovable for me. I adore how desperate he was to live at first and how he really trusted himself to figure it out even though that trust is what ultimately got him killed. I love all the subtle hints towards his history at the beginning of the game (the most notable being Monokid shouting ‘he flew through enemy territory just to die like a bitch!’ or something along those lines) and everything about how much he clearly hates himself during his FTEs with Shuichi. His self-blame is incredibly relatable and just makes me want to hug him. And when he called himself the Ultimate Useless Big Brother I almost cried because hell no he is not a useless big brother, he’s doing so much for his sisters and he deserves the world! He truly did die too soon.

3. Angie Yonaga

I know most everyone hates Angie or finds her annoying, and while she can be annoying sometimes, I love her so much that I can basically forgive anything she does to annoy me. She’s basically Ibuki’s personality in Hina’s body, so she’s basically a combination of my favorite girls from both of the previous two games. She’s such a fun free spirited person and I just can’t help but absolutely adore her.

2. Kokichi Oma

Yeah he’s a terrible person, yeah he kills another three characters who I love, yeah he’s just an all-aroid pretty horrible acting person, but that doesn’t mean I can’t love every second he’s on screen. While I honestly believe that his personality is mostly fabricated, just watching him toy with everyone else is so much fun, especially since for the most part they’re all aware of it but still can’t help but fall into each and every one of his traps. The moment when I truly fell in love with him was during chapter four when he yells at the others that they’re just TERRIBLE AT BEING LIED TO, SERIOUSLY THE WORST! I adore this speech from chapter four so much that I’m going to be performing it as a Dramatic Interpretation piece. He’s jut impossible not to love for me, especially after chapter four. I was certain he was going to die in chapter five, but I certainly didn’t expect that badass trick he pulled and it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. While he’s not the most relatable, he certainly is damn entertaining and charming, and he caught me pretty easily.

1. K1-B0

I love Kiibo. Like obsessively. I have a firm belief that Kiibo would have made a great protagonist and that him being protagonist might have made the game’s social commentary even more relevant. I am planning on writing a post about this at some point in the future. Regardless of this there are just so many things I can’t help but love about this small and precious robot. How he’s so full of hope, even if hop isn’t what they need, how he tries to help everyone no matter what they do or say about him, and how he just doesn’t understand what his best friend (Miu) is even talking about like 95% of the time. He’s just so adorable and pure and I love him. His death was the hardest for me and when he smiles upon seeing that Shuichi, Maki, and Himiko survived it just kills me every time. My baby.

The Struggles Of A Fanfic Writer

AU - Fanboys!AU Genre - Fluff/Comedy Warnings - None Word Count - 1422

Summary - Kim Wonshik writes 6Keys fanfiction. And like most fanfiction writers Kim Wonshik struggles with that one idol group member.

Find all parts here

“I just saw the music video for Lady Gaga’s paparazzi” Wonshik typed.

“I haven't seen it yet. Brb” Jaehwan responded.

“Go watch it! Because it just gave me a fic idea” Wonshik told him.

“aksjdhs Don't you already have like 50 WIPs already??”

“>.>”

“Kim Wonshik. I swear to god if you leave that high school MiRa (Miya x Ara) fic unfinished and unresolved then I will jump off a cliff and my spirit will haunt you for eternity” Jaehwan swore.

“I will finish it! Eventually! But get this, this might be MinEul (Minah x Haneul)” Wonshik replied.

“Ugh. I hate you but I am listening” Jaehwan said.

“Did you see the video yet??” he asked.

“I just did! Akdjdhskal it was all very rated. You're writing MinEul smut aren't you?” Jaehwan asked and Wonshik could feel the suggestive eyebrow wiggle through text.

“It does have… sexy times in it” he agreed reluctantly.

“HOE GO DO IT INSTANTLY” Jaehwan yelled over text.

“You are a pervert” Wonshik scoffed.

“You are the one writing it! Besides, I am starved for good MinEul smut okay!! What is the entire storyline?” Jaehwan asked curiously. Wonshik rarely wrote for Haneul so this would be interesting.

“Well… Minah is a famous celebrity and Haneul is her girlfriend who seduces her only for the fame. And Minah comes to know of this but the couple is already very popular and she knows she will lose fans after the breakup so she stays in the relationship” Wonshik explained.

“...”

“KIM WONSHIK WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS TO ME”

“Hehehehehehehe”

“HOE DON'T DO IT. IF IT ENDS SAD THEN I WILL CRY”

“You cry even when my fics have a happy ending”

“That is besides the point! Why is Haneul always evil in your fics? Are you an anti?? Why can't my fellow Aries sister Minah be happy?!”

“I don't hate Haneul lol”

“She's your favourite and hence she must suffer?!? Is that going to be your explanation?? I hate you fanfic writers. Also I hate myself because now I want to read it!”

“You love my fanfics~ That's how we became friends”

Wonshik laughed as he typed. Jaehwan had been one of the few readers when he had started writing 6Keys fanfiction and the first to read and leave comments. Wonshik had fallen in love instantly and ever since then Jaehwan had been his go to person for all his crazy fanfic ideas.

“One of these days Kim Wonshik… one of these days...” Jaehwan complained.

“Okay. I will be back after I write something”

“Okaii! I shall be fanboying with Sanghyuk over his new crack video”

Wonshik closed the chat window and opened up a doc.

He had the idea in his head. Minah was to be an upcoming singer. Suddenly too famous and with everyone's eyes on her next move. And while she was glad her music was being recognised, she was all alone and easily disillusioned with the bright lights and jazz.

Till Haneul came along that is.

Haneul would be the that girl that stood out in the club. And Minah was inevitably drawn to her. Oh oh oh. Maybe the affair should be secret. A forbidden love. And that would be what drew Minah into the scandal.

Except Haneul wasn't innocent at all. And beneath the alluring smiles lay danger and greed. And Minah took a while to realise it but she does and then she would delude herself into believing that someday Haneul would love her for her. Or maybe get jaded but keep her around for company because she was all alone and didn't have anyone else.

Damn.

Maybe Jaehwan was right and he was extremely evil for doing this to his girls but… that was the thing about angst fics. It demands to be written. (Somewhere John Green was getting teary eyed over his references. He just knew it)

So Wonshik put his headphones back in and put Paparazzi on repeat. He was going to write a heartbreaker! Honestly the excitement of a story was the best.

What to take as the opening? Hmm… Maybe he could start at the club scene. When Minah first meets Haneul. He could clearly imagine it. Minah would be in one of those private rooms that overlooked the dance floor. And Haneul would be on the said dance floor. Dancing sexily enough to attract her attention.

No no no. This trope was so tacky. And kinda sleazy. Gross. Maybe they should meet at the bar. Get to talk. That would be a more organic attraction. Hmm.

But what would you say to a pretty woman? What would a pretty woman say to another woman? Like how would a girl pick up another girl at a bar? Much less do it artistically enough for a fanfic??

Well Google sucked. Wobshik took a moment to blink. Lesbian pick up lines and tactics was something he had never thought he would google in his life. It ranked above the time he googled how to murder using ball pens in his list of weird things.

Anyhow, back to the topic. Which was embarrassingly still lesbian pick up lines.

Maybe Minah and Haneul should just start at the hotel room after the club. But that would mean starting with the smut right off the bat. And if you thought Wonshik was bad at handling pick up lines…

Wonshik sighed. Maybe he should eat some chocolate pudding. The sugar in his blood would jump start his brains.

Oh oh oh. There was the Ceci shoot from last year which has a lovely gold and black theme. Everyone had looked sexy. Maybe that would work as better inspiration.

Wonshik opened up Hakyeon’s blog. He had a sideblog dedicated to Haneul and his tag system was amazing.

Now that he thought about it, he never had this problem with any of the other 6Keys members. Of course it was easiest to write anything for Ara and Bora. Miya was his bias and his longest and favourite aus were dedicated to her. Haru was the youngest and hence he had a strict no mature theme rule for her. But he had an abundance of cute fluff for her.

So why was Haneul a problem?

“Did she have another Ceci shoot?” Wonshik asked out loud when he saw a very different set of pictures appear. This time the theme was red and white and she was wearing a long flowing red gown with red white and pink flower crown.

The set was interesting… The lighting brought out the red very well. It was set in the ruins of old Greek style building. Had they shot this while 6Keys were on tour in Europe? Wonshik kept scrolling and liking the posts. He added a few to the queue on his own 6Keys fan blog.

“Why are you stalking Haneul on my blog??” Hakyeon’s message popped up on the chat window on the page.

“I'm not stalking her!” Wonshik replied indignantly. “I'm just looking for fanfic inspiration.”

“Why? So you can kill her and break my heart yet again??” Hakyeon asked bitterly.

Wonshik bit his lip. Hakyeon had never forgiven him after Haneul had died in his mafia au. But to be honest the entire story had even been written because Wonshik had imagined that scene first and then written the rest of the story around it. It had also been crucial to Bora’s character development. Haneul’s death would be what prompted her to finally kill their enemies and become the true mafia lord of the city.

“I won't kill her this time. I promise” Wonshik said.

“I don't trust you” Hakyeon replied.

“Fair enough. If it makes you feel any better then I updated the Miya x Ara fic yesterday. It's all fluff” Wonshik told him.

“Yay *__* “ Hakyeon replied and went offline. Wonshik laughed and prayed that Hakyeon would forgive him for the fic to come.

Speaking of which, Wonshik had no idea how to start that. The Ceci shoots had given him an idea for a different au for Haneul altogether. But what to do about paparazzi au MinEul?

Maybe he should start with a different scene and then come back and write the starting. This time he would post his fic only after finishing the entire thing. No more making readers suffer because of his erratic update schedule.

The blank doc stared at him.

Wonshik stared at the blank doc.

He groaned and opened the chat window with Jaehwan.

“I have a writer’s block ;A; “

“Noooooooooooooooooooooo”

I just posted "The One: Chapter One: Burt’s Beginning Not The End" for my story "The One, The Right and Chosen". #fanfiction

The one

Stu and Burt from Werid City fanfic

Chapter One: Burt's Beginning Not The End

At above the line hospital. Burt Chund along with his children walked in to Mary, his wife's room with a bunch of colorful daisies his hands. When Burt saw his wife asleep thin, weak and lost he nearly lost sense of balance nearly falling to knees his children to get him up but he was big for a man his age.

But from the thud Burt made on the floor he made made Mary awake as she said to her children, trying to make a joke, "Leave for your father be, he is big enough to get on his own."

Her children left them be as they went hugging her, sobbing knowing this is would the last time they see since her battle of breast cancer was taking her away. Burt got up off his feet walking to his children and his wife. Mary as she was still hugging her sobbing children and asked them.

"Kids, Me and your dad love you so much but can you leave us alone for a moment we need to chat."

Each of them have gave their mother a kiss as they left. Burt set up the daises in a vase by her bed side counter she smiled at them and with the strength she had reached for his hand. Burt turned towards held her hand sat by her side kissing her hand.

He told her, "I love you so much, Mary"

"I know that is why you need to promise me something. It is very important for you to promise me to be happy again with out me."

"How can I be happy with out you Mary."

She cough motion for water Burt gave her some. After having some water she cleared her throat and told him.

"I was talking to young man. Before you and the kids got here. I think he is a volunteer nurse he had a smile that remind me of you and when first met. When I gave him a comment on the smile of his we talked about he wished we had a love like ours a love that can get through good and bad and life and death"

Burt sighed "He is young he should be selected already."

"Not if he was born below the line like we were he hasn't so lucky and he feels he will be alone forever and i don't want to feel like that ever. That is why you need to be promise you will fine the one."

Burt trying not to yelled at Mary as he told her "The one? You are the one? "

"I know, please Burt you have to find the one that makes you smile. The one who laughs at your jokes even though they don't make sense. The one who thinks, feels and believes that you and most kind and handsome I have met even though you don't believe so. Be open and happy with what you have, need, and love that will carry you through."

Mary using her strength to kiss her husband as he hold her hating the fact he will have to let go of her forever.

Burt buries his face into his wife arms sobbing kisses her on the cheek to lips and murmurs the words "I promise "

A week later Mary passed away in her sleep. Burt's world felt as if were ending after shortly after Mary passed but Burt did not it was just Beginning to start again for his promise to Mary will help him find happiness in the most unexpected way.

One year later

Burt's daughter was pushing him into the building of "The one that's the one" scientific matching service to finding your soulmate. Burt felt so ridiculous as the doctor strapped his head hat full of sensory and wires he felt a like science experiment. His daughter noticed how uncomfortable he but assured him.

"Dad, come on be open mom, would want to least try. This place highest approval rankings in finding matches."

The doctor added, "she is right, Burt, and try to comfortable and relax the more stress your might hinder your responses and results."

The doctor turned to daughter asking to leave and wait in the waiting room till the analysis is completed. She agreed and left her father with the doctor as Burt trying to get comfortable he asked,

"How accurate are your matches?"

"Very accurate, this mind sensory

Helmet will simulate your thoughts and feelings throughly as you answer our questions is that simple, all you have to is trust us."

Burt took a breath reminding himself the promise he made Mary, and told the doctor,

"Let get this done then. Sooner the better."

The doctor began to questioning Burt that would help him find his soulmate

"What's your favorite number?"

Burt answered "6 no wait 7"

"Okay just one answer first that comes into your mind right now will put six."

Burt nodded as the doctor proceeds with the questions

"What is your favorite color."

"Light blue" Burt answered without hesitation

"If you had a genie why would not ask for infinity amount of wishes."

Burt was surprised by this question and try his best to answer

"Because I guess that I am happy with the wishes I got"

Doctor said "hmm " as he noting the his chart Burt wondered why he didn't want his head ache from the mouth of this doctor if did asked."

"If you saw a person that looked like a lost loved one what would do.l

"I would cry" Burt as a man hated to admit but it happen often since Mary's passing

"Last question," the doctor instructed Burt, "Why?"

Burt didn't understand "why, what?"

"Just why?" The doctor asked

"I just want to be happy"

If that the closed his notebook took the helmet off Burt, have signed a document and paid two credits and that his results would come through via text with just address of your soulmate home to be there at midnight for dramatic effect. Burt left meet back with daughter which she hugged and told him how proud she was for him and mom would be happy to see him try to be happy again. After the hug, Burt wanted time alone for walk to mentally prepare to meet his so called soulmate.

Burt decided to take walk on the automatic nature trail he pacing and stoping thinking how could it be possible those questions would lead him to his soulmate. He especially though about the last question just why? And he thought about more he answer yes wanted to be happy, he didn't want pretend that everything was okay but it wasn't now that Mary was gone. God he still missed he would miss her but she was right he need to fill whole and loved again the question was could someone suited for him be able to love him as just much if not more than Mary did.

After his nature walk he went to Mary grace sat on the bench talk to gravestone told her about the one that's the one, admitting his insecurities and hesitation about the whole as. He sat talking to her he felt relaxed and tired and started to drift off and before Burt ended up sleeping past five minutes midnight the text of the address to meet his soulmate. When it turned five past midnight Burt was awaken by the nudge of the caretaker of cemetery,

He said, "Hey old man not wise to sleep in the grace past midnight."

Burt yelled, "Past midnight!" He got his phone saw the text with the address bid his wife goodbye and thanks to the caretaker in waking him. Burt following the gps coordinates of his suppose soulmate he was relived that address was not to far from the cemetery. It was 12:15 am. He was fifteen minutes late not a good first impression to his soulmate, but it was something she would have to get used. He stood by the front door of his soulmate took a breath door on the knock and he was stunned not a woman but a man on the other side of the door.

A man Burt he thought a very young quarter til his age man. He was thin but muscular about the same height as him. This guy Had brown hazel eyes, Burt had felt he was looking at younger him before he met Mary. When this guy said Hi, Burt's mind nearly lost the train of thought but was able to manage in saying,

"Hey, I am Burt"

This guy still looked confused, "Okay, are you..."

"I am the one that's the one."

Burt went into this guys apartment feeling he and him should figure or consider what possible went wrong with their match he thought definitely there was a mistake and together they should both get their credits back.

About maybe half an hour talking with Stu seeing that he felt more than him. It was comforting for Burt to know he was not alone in feeling that way. When Stu asked him if he was hungry and he was in the urge for some good wholesome below the line food at Al's dinner. Burt was happy that Stu same good appreciation for below the line food as much as him. So as they left Stu's apartment Stu said to Burt

"Hey big guy, wanna walk or share a cab."

Burt said "Big guy, what you do think a fat."

Stu felt as if had offended trying to apologize and recover from comment that meant to be a joke.

"Sorry, no just look strong that what meant sorry I tend to make bad jokes."

Burt chuckled, "Don't sweat about kid, I do make bad jokes too, at least both we should ever have a glorious career as comedians. For me I like to walk if you don't mind

Stu laughed patted his back as he answered, "I Don't mind a walk either, let's go."

One hour of walking and talking Burt and Stu made it to Al's dinner Burt couldn't remember how much of good time since mary died. Burt was also amazed how much him and Stu had in common from bad jokes, loving walks than rides, and so enjoying the exact same meal at al's dinner. Burt had to admit he liked Stu he was funny he made him smile he was happy for first time he lost Mary which he didn't realize how comfortable he was with Stu to admit that his wife.

After apologizing Stu admitted something more cosmic than Stu and Burt realize. Stu told Burt,

"Do remind me someone."

" Really, who?" Burt asked

"Actually, I never meet him, only heard of him, from someone. "

"This sounds like an interesting story you must tell." Burt said

Stu began with his story "About year ago, I was arrested from DUI, not proud of that haven't drank since then. But anyway for sentencing I had to volunteer at the hospital nursing and comforting the people were about to pass. There one lady talk with i don't why I told how alone and lost I felt wondering if you ever find someone I could just me with me. And i will always remember the one thing she told me."

Stu stopped reliving that time with wise old Mary when Burt took his hand but on top his and said, "Go ahead, stu, when you are ready"

Stu sighed smiled to have new good friend to be honest with it, so proceeded in telling Burt the wise old Mary told him.

"Be open and happy with what you have, need, and love that will carry you through

Burt let go Stu's hand wipe little of tears from his face, as he told Stu,

"That was my wife, wise old mary. Gosh I will miss her always saying that to me, you were the guy she was talking about before she died, thank you."

"For what." Stu said

"For being their for her, for letting her be wise for you as much for me."

Stu smiled and thought out loud, "That is probably the nicest anyone has ever said to me."

Burt trying to joke to lighten the serious mood, "Then I guess you don't much complementing."

Stu chuckled, "No, Burt I don't, but not as much you have."

As they ended their late night breakfast dinner. He was surprised that Stu was going for hug he thought a simple handshake would be best wanted the hug and he didn't know for the same reason didn't know why smile was coming across his face and they parted ways glancing at each other waving goodbyes both wondering if that was a chance that there could be more than friendship between them.

End of chapter one will work chapter two after my vacation

Thanks for reading

Actual First Impressions: HakuMyu LIVE 2, Act 2!!

In much the same fashion as last night.

INTERMISSION – Yazaki Hiroshi is frickin adorable, enough said. Best Hijikata. They’re showing clips of his time in the spotlight and it’s really cute and he’s really cute anD IS THIS REALLY—

Reigen na Hitomi – YESSSS OH MY GOD YAZAKI-SAN SOUNDS GREAT IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL probably because he’s just hanging out not in a costume under stage lights doing any physical activity oh my heaven an angel in a purple yukata has descended before me and he’s so adorkable what a wonderful way to indulge the fans while giving the main cast a break and

[Interlude] – SPEAKING OF WHICH THEY’RE BACK IN WESTERN WEAR but… they’re actually furies… they didn’t do that for the last LIVE. I’m pretty sure Souji is talking to Yazaki-san like he’s Hijikata and completely ignoring Matsuda Gaku in full costume behind him. also trying to sing a part of “Shinsengu Tanjō” with him but Yazaki-san doesn’t know it as well hahaha AND GAKU-SAN IS JUST STARING THEM DOWN TRYING NOT TO SMILE OK OH MY FUCK KONDOU IS ADORABLE HE’S LIKE PATTING DOWN YAZAKI-SAN TO MAKE SURE HE’S REAL also now I think they’re arguing over which one is the ‘real’ Hijikata and here comes Shiranui with his watermelon ball (to settle the dispute I guess?) and apparently Yazaki-san is declared the winner as well he should be since he’s using actual volleyball technique hahaha THIS IS FUCKING PRICELESS HE’S GOT SUCH A HUGE GRIN WHAT A DORK and I can just tell Yazaki-san is saying some super awesome things about HakuMyu and Matsuda Gaku and stuff what a sweetheart

Opening ~ Dainimaku ~ Makoto no Hata – ok Yazaki-san might have said some probably nice things about Gaku-san but please do not cover his work even if there’s a part added, please, he will always have done better than you please stick to songs from the new run WAIT WHAT HOLY SHIT IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF OKITA’S MUSICAL I HEAR

PAINT IT BLOOD – IT FUCKING IS BUT ARAMAKI-SAN CAN FOLLOW DAISUKE MARGINALLY BETTER SO I’M MORE OK WITH IT also possibly because I love this song. even if I don’t get why he and Saito are sparring now. oh and there’s Ryunosuke, acting out the end of his anime, which has got to be my favorite scene. and here’s Yamazaki, looking mortally offended that Okita would threaten his boyfriend, because only he is allowed to do that. gods help me for starting to understand this ship

Kawaranaimono – …oh no. oh no are they going to have Hashimoto-san sing Kawaranaimono when his voice is so much rougher than Ryo-san’s. please no he does not have the finesse. oh no please no stop objectively this isn’t terrible but I’ve heard so much better and yeah he hits the notes ok but no this isn’t supposed to happen this is Ryo-san’s song please do not with this. also why have Chizuru there if she’s not gonna sing with him, I mean really. also his face is p shiny but Still Not as Sweaty as Ryo-san™ thankfully

?!?!?!?! – that’s Harada’s voice but… uh what is this? it sounds Latin and I don’t recognize it at all but I could dance to this and [MIND GOES ABRUPTLY BLANK AS HE FUCKIN FEELS HIMSELF UP] …uh they better keep this in his musical (though I can’t think why they’d take it out) it’s such a wonderful piece oh my GOD thank the heavens for this Harada and his powerful voice and how he’s like a head and a half taller than everyone in the audience, I will kneel and give thanks if you know what I mean holy shit HE WORKS THAT SPEAR LIKE KAZAMA WORKED HIS MIC IN THE ORIGINAL LIVE *applauds as song ends… along with Kazama, oh I guess this was the context for his new medley*

[RELUCTANTLY SKIPS AHEAD TO] Jōran Shiai ~ Asagi-iro no Kakugo [2] => Yume no Hate – ah excellent I love this piece and its gorgeous guitar. I’d love it better if they didn’t cut the intro short and have Hijikata sing alone at first, even if the others join him—he just can’t hold his own in a solo. also damn Nagakura looks good, he just doesn’t sound right. OH NO PLEASE NOT THIS ONE, KAZAMA-HEN ALREADY DID THE BEST YOU CAN POSSIBLY DO WITH THIS, PLEASE DON’T RUIN IT A SECOND TIME, WATCHING IT IN SHINSENGUMI KITAN WAS BAD ENOUGH but hey, at least Yamazaki gets a verse, even if Yazaki-san’s solo over the chorus beats the pants off Gaku-san’s.

……… – THE FINALE APPROACHETH?! ohhhhh no. oh nooooo. this is going to hurt me, isn’t it. but first, the shippy bit. I do think their little love theme is better than Hijikata and Chizuru’s from Hijikata-hen and the first LIVE; at the very least, it gets stuck in my head a hell of a lot more often. honestly, A+ on the staging and music and everything. (also even if I’m going to hurt in about 30 seconds I could watch Suzuki Shogo climb stairs forever in that jacket, just saying.) and my adoration of the way this version of the final battle is done remains, even if the set is a little less elaborate than in Shinsengumi Kitan; they bring Yaisa! into it, but clear the stage instead of leaving it crowded. speaking of which nO SHOGO-SAN DON’T CRY PLEASE DON’T CRY YOU’RE ACTUALLY KILLING ME HOLY FUCK THAT LITTLE ADDED MOMENT WITH CATCHING THE CHERRY PETAL AT THE END NOOOOOOOO

whatever comes after that – KAZAMA IS DEAD, WHY DO I CARE. but I am curious, without Amagiri, who’s going to save Chizuru when the humans come for her. or… I guess they’re not coming after her this time? although I do hear Amagiri’s theme. (too bad, I wanted Shiranui to save her à la my semi-AU route.) also, if this song showed up in Shinsengumi Kitan, I was too destroyed by the final battle to realize that it’s actually a good one. also, the Shinsengumi bestowing their haori on Hijikata will never be as sad as in Kazama-hen, sorry guys, you sing nice but this is much too triumphant for a bunch of dead guys. ALSO SHOGO-SAN HONEY NO NEVER MIND THIS IS THE SADDEST THING EVER HE’S STILL CRYING OH MY FUCK NO MY FEELINGS WERE NOT READY FOR THIS

Yaisa! Yaisa! Yaisa! (Reprise) – bouncy as ever, I see; nothing like the instrumentation on the actual version of Yaisa! they did. but there’s like half an hour left; I wonder what they’ll do with it? …ah, looks like the same thing as in the original. repeat-after-me. also are the idiot trio fuckin dabbing like it’s only endearing when they do it haha aLSO NO FUCK THIS YOU ARE NOT MAKING ME SHIP THIS YOU ARE NOT MAKING ME SHIP RYUNOSUKE/YAMAZAKI STOP YOUR LOVERS’ QUARREL STOP PRACTICALLY HOLDING HANDS WHILE ARGUING OH MY GOD also hi Kazama are you ok? seems like he’s doing better, maybe my heart will recover after all. also wow I completely forgot Serizawa was even in this till I saw him in the audience just now hahaha and OMIGOD EVERYONE IS SO CUTE

Aftertalk – I think I’ve spoken enough for one period of twelve hours, don’t you? Besides, my feelings are a total mess right now, and I need to make myself presentable for the day. Besides, there’s backstage shenanigans that need examining…

Endnotes: My reaction is mixed, obviously, but mostly it was awesome. There were a couple purist moments where I was like “THE ORIGINAL CAST SANG THIS BETTER”, but ya know, that’s just kinda how I am, so it’s incredibly biased and subjective. I really love the energy level in this, tbfh. Like, the first LIVE was great, but everyone in this is just having such a wonderful time and it shows, and the audience is a lot more involved too. Basically, 10/10 would definitely recommend. I rank it much higher than either Reimeiroku or Shinsengumi Kitan.

Airedale terrier Referred to as the “king of terriers,” the airedale is indeed the most important of all terriers.

The airedale has the difference of being the largest of the terriers. The primary attempt at developing the airedale terrier, even though nobody had a blueprint in mind at that time, turned into in 1853. A difficult-coated black and tan terrier become bred with an otterhound in hopes of creating a properly-rounded sporting canine that could hunt otters within the rivers and rats on land.

The primary crossbreeding produced a canine that possessed the keenness of a terrier and changed into capable of swim and fragrance game. The crosses were known as waterside or bingley terriers and inside 12 years of the primary crossbreeding, the dog had end up a famous sporting terrier.

It's miles believed that the actual name turned into first recommended by way of dr. Gordon stables, who had judged the puppies a year earlier than dalziel, however that reality is hard to validate. In 1880, dalziel again had the opportunity to decide the airedale terrier and noted the canine as such in his document.
