SECRET SWEETH TOOTH: Sweets turned out to be one of Sisi’s favorite over-indulgences, and she was known to splurge on confections and pastries. She frequented Demel, the official patisserie of the Imperial Court, which was conveniently located across the street from the Hofburg. She would slip in and order thick hot chocolate, homemade truffles, and sumptuous slices of chocolate cake. She was especially fond of candied sugar violets, and always went home with a box. Her passion for violets was so great that she even indulged in her favorite treat, violet ice cream, when she wasn’t starving herself. THE FAIRY QUEEN: Sisi got the idea for her famous sparkling stars after attending a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Vienna's Burgtheater. The actress portraying Titania wore a sprinkling of glittering stars in her hair; inspired, Sisi then requested her own fairy stars from the imperial jeweler. She saw herself as the fairy queen Titania, and her bedroom (which she called "Titania's enchanted castle")  was painted at great expense with scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream by a young Gustav Klimt. THE LOOK: Her beauty routine was legendary. She used facial waters of rose, chamomile, lavender, and violet to remove impurities, and she would slather her cheeks with pure honey, rose petals and crushed strawberries. After her Rapunzel-esque hair was done to her satisfaction, it would be sprayed with Creed’s Fantasia de Fleurs, a heady floral fragrance created especially for the Empress, with a regal bouquet of the best Bulgarian roses.

Roman Reigns x Reader x Jey Uso: Break The Rules For You, Pt. I
Author's Note: This is on Wattpad, however, I wanted to post it here too! Don't know why it took me so long to post this.
WARNING: Roman is an a**hole in this.
Tumblr media
You smile at all the people around you as your husband introduces you to his colleagues and business partners. They were smiling in your face, but honestly, you couldn't care less. You wanted to be out of there. You just weren't in the mood to put up a facade for everyone at this stupid business dinner. You didn't even want to come, but then again you had no choice, not when it came to Joseph.
He held a tight grip around your waist, forbidding you to move more than an inch away from him. You slightly winced in pain as his fingers dug into your skin. You honestly didn't understand why he was being so overprotective. It wasn't like you were looking at any of the gentlemen here. You weren't allowed to.
That was rule number one.
No looking at another man. If even a man came around, you are to look at the floor. Never make direct eye contact......or else. Direct eye contact was considered flirting which Joseph would not tolerate. You were his and his only.
As everyone was talking, and laughing, you inwardly sighed, wanting nothing more than to go home and sleep. Yet here you were faking it for a bunch of your husband's business partners, just so he could get that promotion he'd been dying to get. You look over at your husband as he wows everyone in his expensive suit and charming smile.
Joseph was a man who took great pride in his appearance. He knew he was charming. He knew he was good-looking. He knew all the ladies wanted him. That's how it's always been with Mr. Anoa'i. He was born with a golden spoon up his ass. Coming from a strong family lineage had its perks. That's how you two crossed paths. His father Sika Anoa'i had come into your father's furniture store, demanding your father give him money that was owed to him.
You were only sixteen at the time, volunteering as a custodian for your father's store, so you didn't know much about the business. All you knew was that whenever the Anoa'i/Fatu family visited your father's store, it was never a good sign. Unfortunately, you ended up falling for Sika's undeniably handsome son Joseph Anoa'i who at the time was a schoolmate of yours. But you never made a move as you were too shy to ever talk to him. That was until you crossed paths again through his cousins whom you grew to become good friends. Little did you know what you'd get yourself into.......
"Joe, your wife is so beautiful! What's your name sweetie?" one of his female colleagues asked, smiling at you.
You look over at Joe as he slightly nods, giving you permission to speak.
Rule number two, don't speak unless spoken to.
"Introduce yourself, babe," he answered, a tight-lipped smile on his face.
Rule number three. Introduce yourself properly, and let everyone know you were his.
"Hello. I'm Joseph's wife. We've been together for over ten years... He's the love of my life, an amazing man he is. I'm so blessed to have him." you say, the words taste bitter as they leave your mouth.
You can't even count on your fingers how many times Joseph's made you rehearse those lines whenever someone asked about your identity. You swear you sounded like a robotic being every time you said it.
You weren't allowed to introduce yourself by name, he didn't want people to know your name. He felt if they knew your name, the men would try to flirt with you or memorize you. He felt if they knew your name and you did anything out of character, it might tarnish his reputation or image. And he was a man that cared deeply about his and his family's reputation. And as his wife, you should care just as must.
You were only able to introduce yourself as Joseph's wife. That's mostly what everyone knew you as. No one really knew you as anyone but "Joseph's wife". Whenever you went out in public and someone familiar saw you, "Hey Joseph's wife! How are you?" was all you would hear. As annoying as it was, you couldn't complain about it. If it's one thing that annoyed Joseph, it was anyone complaining too much.
"Aww, that's so sweet! Joseph, she's a beauty! And she's loyal, I see. You know how to pick them, don't you." one of Joseph's close friends, Colby grinned, nudging his friend slightly.
"Of course. I knew she was the one when I met her," he answered, kissing you softly.
You wanted so much to smack him in the face, but you couldn't. That would surely embarrass him.
Rule number four. Don't embarrass him whether in public or in private.
If you did, you'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble. He always got what he wanted. So, what was the point in fighting him anymore?
You kissed him back, putting on quite the show for everyone as they gawked at the "lovely couple". Well, all except one of Joseph's friends who just so happened to be his cousin as well......Joshua Fatu.
He knew the truth. You weren't fooling anyone. At least, not him. He clenched his jaw seeing Joseph kiss you, knowing you were inwardly suffering. His jaw clenched at the seemingly tight grip his cousin had on your waist, going unnoticed by everyone but him. He was very observant, and he could see the way you flinched whenever his cousin would hold you. He'd see the way you'd slightly flinch whenever his cousin raised his hand to caress your face. It was all an act. A stupid act. He knew the truth.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. You were the one that chose to be with Joseph instead of him. You were the one who rejected him to date the most popular guy in school, Joseph Anoa'i. Yes, throughout school, Joshua Fatu, or Jey as most knew him, was known as the nerdy guy, but he didn't care. You were a nerd too, which was something you two bonded over, becoming great friends. You two even bonded over the fact that you both worked at furniture stores. With you working at your father's and him working alongside his twin brother at their uncle Edward's furniture store.
However, all of that changed when he introduced you to his cousin. He never thought in a million years Joseph would've taken a liking to you, but then again he knew if Joseph wanted you, he'd have you. That's how it's always been. Joseph got everything and anything he wanted in life, girls, cars, money, literally everything.
For as long as he and Joseph have known each other, it's always been his girlfriends leaving him for Joseph. His first girlfriend had slept with Joseph and gotten pregnant. What hurt worse was that he'd caught them, but Joseph made up an excuse that the girl was no good for him anyway and that it was "bros before hoes". As much as that hurt Jey, Joseph was his cousin, his blood, his family, someone he'd grown up with, so he couldn't disown him.
Yet, the toxic pattern continued. Any girl Jey even thought he'd have a chance with Joseph took them, slept with them, and dumped them like trash. So, what did he do? He gave up on love. Or at least that was until you came along. You weren't popular like all the other girls he'd dated, so he assumed you'd be different. But boy was he wrong.
Technically, you two never dated, but he thought that you'd felt the spark he felt with you. But of course, Joseph's charms won you over. He regretted ever introducing you to his cousin as it turned out to be his biggest downfall. Now, he had to sit back and watch you be with a man that was undeserving of you. You were too good for an asshole like Joseph Anoa'i. But again, you chose Joseph over him. He'd thought that stupid proposal of his would prove to you that he loved you, but apparently, Joseph beat him to it.
He was so embarrassed when he pulled out the ring only to see one already occupying your finger. It broke his heart in two, but he couldn't do anything about it. Joseph was his family, and you were his best friend, and clearly, you didn't love him the way he loved you. He'd always heard horror stories about unrequited love, but never did he think he'd be in that position to say the woman he fell in love with fell in love with another man.
Fast forward, and he was left watching, teary-eyed, as you walked down the aisle, preparing to give your life to his cousin. You looked so beautiful in your white dress, smiling so brightly, looking perfect. His twin brother, Jonathan, had to hold him up to keep him from fainting at the sound of you and Joseph exchanging vows. Oh, how he'd wished he'd been the one you'd married. But he wasn't.
It wasn't until after you married Joseph that the fairytale relationship came to an end. He started becoming more and more abusive towards you. You didn't understand why though. You were a faithful woman. You loved him to death. You'd do anything for him. Yet, he treated you like crap. He started coming up with all of these rules you had to follow. At first, you didn't take his rules seriously, thinking he was just being a jealous/protective husband. But he wasn't. It wasn't until he hit you for the first time that you'd taken his rules seriously.
Ever since then, it's been the same routine. Follow his rules and don't get punished. Disobey his rules and get punished. Simple as that. And let's just say, disobeying him was not worth it. He'd have you half dead if you disobeyed him. Jey can't even count how many times you've shown up at his door battered and bruised because of Joe.
Jey remembers how you once showed up at his door with a bruised face, but you refused to go to the hospital. Joseph had beaten you because a male colleague dropped you off at home because your car had messed up and you needed a way home.
Joe had refused to answer his phone because he was "too busy", so what else were you supposed to do? Even so, when you showed up in another man's car, he was furious.
You went to Jey's house and stayed there too afraid to go home. He told you to call the police, but you refused, so he took care of you the entire night. He stripped you of your clothing, placed you in a warm bath, and cleaned you off. Then he fed you (knowing Joe didn't let you eat that entire day). And lastly, he let you sleep next to him in his bed.
He was so angry with Joseph that day, so much so that when you fell asleep, he snuck out of his house and paid a visit to Joseph. He beat the crap out of Joe before returning to his home to cuddle with you.
However, that sweet moment didn't last long because you were gone the next morning to lie in the arms of your husband as he fed you stupid apologies of how he'd never hurt you again. Ever since then, he and Jey haven't been the best of cousins, but they still keep in touch. They must. They both run a family business.
And now here you are again, putting on a facade for everyone to believe you and Joe were "couple goals". Jey sighed heavily before excusing himself and walking over to grab a drink. He needed to ease his mind. Seeing you like this broke his heart in two and he swore years ago he'd stop caring about you, but the lie detector test determined.... that was a lie. His heart ached and yearned for you. And he just didn't understand it. Why couldn't he get over you?
"Hey Joe, I just bought my new lambo. I wanna show you." Jon Moxley, Joe's other best friend says excitedly.
Joe looked at you, up and down, a warning to not misbehave while he was gone.
"Of course. Let's go gentlemen. I'll be back, baby. Behave...." he whispered the last part in your ear, sending a chill down your spine.
"Yes...." you mumble, he quirked his eyebrow at you.
"What was that?" he states, slightly glaring at you.
"Yes...sir," you mumbled as he rolled his eyes before walking away with his friends.
You were standing there awkwardly watching as everyone enjoyed themselves, but then your eyes landed on Joshua. He was over by the drink table, looking gorgeous as usual. Joshua was a beautiful man. Inside and out.
He was minding his business,drinking his wine, until he noticed you staring at him. He shook his head,rolling his eyes before turning his back to you.
Ow.....
You felt a small lump form in your throat. Why was he being so rude? He didn't even greet you when you and Joe showed up to the party. You weren't sure but you were going to find out. You knew it was against the rules, but you were going to talk to him. It's been a minute since you two have chatted. Hopefully, Joe will stay occupied a bit longer.
You look around, making sure your husband is nowhere in sight. After the coast was clear, you hurried over to Jey, tapping him on his shoulder gently. He slowly turns around to look at you.
"Hello Jey," you say quietly.
"I'm sorry but, I thought you weren't allowed to talk to other men?" he said with a slight attitude.
You sigh heavily, shrugging your shoulders as you play with your trembling fingers. Ever since you've been with Joe, your body reacts in ways you were ashamed to admit. You'd catch yourself shaking sometimes just at the thought of making him mad. You could be at the store grocery shopping and you'd be a shaking mess at the realization of returning home to that devil.
"I just wanted to talk to you," you answer quietly, scratching the back of your neck as you continue to look at the marble floor.
"Ha, I see my cousin still got you trained to look down at the floor. How sad. You still believe you're his property." he says without humor.
"Jey please, there's no need to be rude. I-" he cuts you off.
"Save it, Y/n. You're not even supposed to be talking to me. Don't talk to me unless it's to finally tell me you've divorced that asshole you call your husband. Have a good night." he says before leaving just as Joe comes back into the building, immediately scanning the crowd for you. His eyes looked angry. Oh boy......
When he found you, you hurried back to him as he latched onto your waist like a leech.
"Where the hell were you?" he asked, jaw clenched.  
"Getting us something to drink babe," you say, the two wine glasses in your hands that you grabbed on your way to him.
He nodded, taking one of the glasses from you. Gosh, you wish his glass was filled with poison.
"Come, I have more people to introduce you to," he says, grabbing your hand and leading you to meet more unimportant people.
You inwardly sigh as you see Jey settle at the piano that was in the near corner of the room. He was such a talented player when it came to instruments, something you loved about him. The man was a man of many talents.
He begins to play on the piano as he serenades the partygoers with Brian McKnight's "The Only One For Me". He looked so beautiful. So lovely. So majestic.
Oh, how you wish he were the one you were with...but he wasn't. You made that decision a long time ago, regretfully......

Pretend Boyfriend - George Weasley
Tumblr media
Pairing : (F/M) || George Weasley x Reader Word Count : 3.2k Warning : None that I’m aware of. Notes : This story was posted first on my Ao3 account. “Well, since you don't have anyone you want to go with and that I need someone to shield me from these boys, would you please be my pretend boyfriend?” George deals with his feelings as he falls deeper for her in their fake relationship.
The sun was smiling above, giving enough heat and encouragement for the young gentlemen to gather their courage and shoot their shots to find a date. The Yule Ball is just around the corner and it seems to have taken over the main topic of the whole castle ever since it was announced. It was starting to look rather ridiculous to see someone popping the million galleons question every other corner of the hallways.
They were walking through the Main Courtyard, heading to her Transfiguration class after they had just finished Herbology. He has Astronomy after this, and though it would require him more effort to get to his next class, walking her to her classes has become a special habit he’s grown over the years. At first she was the one who insisted that they walk together so that he wouldn’t skip his classes and plant a prank on the hallways, yet even after they get to higher classes and more specialised schedules, the habit persists.
Perhaps that’s just what people do with their best friends. Walking them to each of their classes, everyday, no matter how far their classes actually are.
“That has got to be the fifth girl who bats their eye at you today.” she says as they walk past a group of Beauxbatons girls. She looks at her watch, making an impressed face “Not even half the day has passed. New record.”
“Well I'm a pretty good looking lad, wouldn’t you agree?”
She flashes a mocking smile, “Of course you are, George.”
“Thank you.” he playfully bows in gratitude “You’re one with quite a fanclub yourself. I heard Zabini asked you for the Ball last night. How did he deal with your rejection?”
“Not so pretty, really. I think I scratched a bit of his ego.”
“And he is, what, your sixth rejection?”
“Seventh, actually.” she corrected him, looking rather proud of herself “I rejected McLaggen on Monday. He said he’d tell his Father about it and that My Father would have to apologise to his Father then. Pretty wicked, to be honest.”
George smiles at her.
It is no secret that his best friend is a one fine lady. Ever since she stepped in the school, she has always had a long list of admirers trailing behind. Her clever jokes and warm personality compliments her beauty perfectly. George always wondered how he could be so lucky and befriend her because he knows a handful of boys who are certainly envious of him.
Hell, sometimes he is envious of himself whenever he thinks of her.
He wasn’t sure when it precisely started, she has always been on his side after all, but his feelings for her blossomed from just platonic love to a romantic one. Perhaps it was when they successfully pranked Filch in second year or when she gave him a hug after winning his first Quidditch match. He couldn’t tell when, but he’s certain that he won’t be coming out of these feelings anytime soon.
“Are you tired of girls hitting on you?”
“They’re not hitting on me.” George denies, trying to sound as coy as possible “But I do find the sudden attention to be ridiculous.”
She scrunch her nose, nodding, “For me, too. I’d rather people leave me alone and let me brood in the dark as I always have.”
George chuckles lightly. He knows how much of her words were complete bull. She has always been in the spotlight. Boys admire her, left and right. It’s just that now they have a real reason to approach her that it seems like she’s getting a sudden wave of attention.
“Why do you keep on rejecting them, anyway?” George asks, curious yet fearing of her answer for the possibility of a heartbreak “Surely there’s one bloke that isn’t as awful as the rest.”
She shrugs, “I don’t really find them interesting, is all.”
George nods. Wondering if he’s the one asking her for the Ball, would she have found him uninteresting too.
“Say, George.” she says, stopping her pace as her face lit from a sudden idea “Are you planning to ask someone to be your date?”
George shakes his head, slightly sweating at the sudden question, “Well, there’s someone but I’m not sure if I should ask her.”
“Why not?”
“It’s just- Nevermind, I don’t really have anyone in mind.” he lies, forcing a smile “Why, what are you thinking?”
“Well, since you don't have anyone you want to go with and that I need someone to shield me from these boys, would you please be my pretend boyfriend?”
George blinks, confused and surprised at the proposition, “Your what?”
“My fake boyfriend.” she says nonchalantly, not sensing the slight disappointment the boy radiates “I mean, it's a rather clever solution, don’t you think? I wouldn’t have to reject anymore boys and you wouldn’t need to deal with undesired attention anymore. Win-win for us all.”
George could swear the colour of his world turned dull. A pretend boyfriend? How worse can her offer be?
But in the rush of time, being her pretend boyfriend might be the closest thing he could ever be romantically with her. At least, until the Ball finishes, she is his girlfriend. Even when she doesn’t have any feelings for him.
“You know what, nevermind.” she says with a nervous chuckle “It sounds ridiculous now that I think about it.”
“Let’s do it.”
Now it’s her time to look flabbergasted. A growing grin appears on her face, squealing a little as she takes George’s hands in excitement, “Really?”
George nods, showing a half-hearted smile, “Why not, right?”
“Brilliant!” she exclaims cheerfully “It’s settled then. I better get going now. See you later, boyfriend!”
She skips her way down the hall, bidding one last wave of goodbye before disappearing in the ocean of students.
George was left stunned at his spot. What has he gotten himself into? Fake boyfriend? Really? Couldn’t they just go to the Ball as friends instead? Surely that would’ve been better than an artificial relationship.
But the happiness she paraded was something he couldn’t shake off. It makes him content to see her smiling and jumping in excitement. He’s always been there to make her smile, anyway. It’s like he has devoted his life for her happiness. Now he could only hope that however this fake relationship would end, he wouldn’t cave in too deep in the sea of sorrow.
____
“You must have been the daftest bloke of the century, mate.” Fred commented as he placed sausages in his mouth “A fake boyfriend? Really? Just how desperate can you be, Georgie.”
“I didn’t really think about it thoroughly, alright.” George defended, slightly moping at his twin’s negative feedback “Just pretend that you didn’t know about this, okay? I don’t even know if I should keep this a secret from you too. We haven’t actually established the rules and all.”
“It would be the death of you, you know.” Fred snorts, mocking him “Why couldn’t you just be honest with her? Ask her to be your real girlfriend, instead.”
“I wouldn’t want to be the eighth bloke she rejects this year. I’ll take whatever is served at the table.”
Fred was about to prolong the bickering yet closes his mouth as he spots the said girl approaching them.
“Hi, Fred.” she greets, taking a seat next to George “Hi, boyfriend.”
“Right,” Fred retches, picking up his plate to move to another seat “I’ll see you guys later.”
She frowns at Fred’s unpleasant reaction. The boy was just fine this morning when they had their breakfast. Why is he acting so strange all of a sudden?
“Don’t mind Fred. He’s just bitter we didn’t tell him about the whole relationship thing.” George lied, trying to ease her mind “He feels betrayed that we’re together and didn’t even tell him that something was going on between us.”
“Oh,” she nods, flashing an unsure smile “How much did you tell him?”
“Just that we’re together now.”
“Did you tell him that it’s fake?”
George flinches slightly at the word, “Would you like me to tell him?”
“No,” she says with a trailing tone “I guess it would be best to keep this between us. You know, to make it more convincing.”
He nods.
George wanted to ask why it is so important to make people believe that they’re really together, but he reckons there’s only so much heartbreak he could take in a day. Perhaps he could ask her some other time.
“So, what do you think we should do to make us seem like a real couple?”
George shrugs, “I don’t know. I’ve never been in a relationship before.”
“Maybe we could hold hands and you can walk me to my classes?”
“Don’t we already do that?” he says with a crisp chuckle “I mean we don’t really hold hands, but I’ve placed my arms around you.”
“True.” she nods, agreeing with his statement “Maybe we could.. Um, kiss?”
A slight crimson colour starts to tint his cheeks. He’s always imagined how pleasant it must be to kiss her, placing his hand on her cheeks as he caresses her skin while they share a chaste peck. If only she would kiss him the same way he would.
“I mean, if it’s too much for you we could always opt out.”
“No, it’s fine for me.” George says fast, not wanting to lose the chance “Are you fine with it?”
She nods with a smile.
“Should we uh- Should we try one now?” George asks unsurely, biting his lower lip in doubt “You know, to set the ground and all.”
She grins, “Please do.”
George lets out a nervous blow before leaning in with a smile.
It was a short tender kiss. Exactly how he imagined their first kiss would be. He traces her jawline with his thumb as his other hand entwines to hers. He could taste the light hint of strawberry from her lip gloss before finally pulling away, still locking their gazes as they smiled at each other.
The kiss might be uneventful but it was enough to make the eyes present at the Great Hall to stop and stare. At last, the good looking pair of best friends finally turn into a real couple.
If only they knew the truth.
“You have yet to ask me to be your date.” she whispers softly, still smiling from the kiss.
“I thought it’s already a one deal package with the relationship thing.”
“Still, it would be nice to hear you say it.”
George chuckles, taking both of her hands and holding them in his. He stares at her face, gathering all the nerves he has to finally ask her the question. If only he could ask her genuinely, “Would you be my date for the Yule Ball?”
She nods eagerly. She plants a small kiss on his cheek before pulling him for a hug. Squealing and giggling like a real person in love.
George rests his face on the crook of her neck, inhaling and embracing her presence. The butterflies in his stomach have long blown into the chaotic rain of fireworks. His heart was full, happy at the fact that she seems to be enjoying the artificial relationship as much as he does. A small voice in his head was telling him to be careful as it must have hurt later when reality hits and this fake relationship has to end. But for the time being, George could only enjoy and appreciate each passing moment.
He would certainly miss this once it’s done.
____
The dreadful night has finally come. As every other student welcomed the Ball with joy, George could only hope that his sheer act of indifference was enough to conceal his disappointment. Other than Fred, no one truly understands how he hates the night. There’s no telling of how their relationship would be after this. He’s not even sure if they could be as close of a friend as they were before. All these weeks of playing dating have been wrecking his emotions and boosting his hopes so high he would certainly succumb once it plummets.
He would certainly miss laying on her lap at the Common Room as she reads her book, or going to Hogsmeade and having glasses of butterbeers only for him to kiss the foam moustache off of her lips. He would miss holding hands in the hallways and spinning her around before pulling her for a kiss. He would miss being her boyfriend.
Though he’s fully aware that they were only doing a fake one, he couldn’t help but to feel that the feelings and moments they shared were authentic. There are times when he finds her blushing from his kisses. She has shown nothing but sincere happiness, one he has never seen before. It makes him hard to tell if she actually reciprocates his feelings or that she’s just a very good actress.
Now they’re dancing closely, her hands resting on his shoulders as he holds her gently by the waist. She looks dashing, certainly the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on. He studies her face, trying to map all of her facial features in his mind as it might be the last time they could ever be this close.
“You’re doing it again.” she says with a soft chuckle.
“What?”
“Staring as if I’m going to be blown away by the wind anytime soon.”
George smiles, not replying to her words and plants a kiss on her forehead instead.
“That’s sweet.” she comments, making a slight frown “But you haven’t properly kissed me tonight.”
She was inching into him, tip toeing so that she could level his height. But before their lips could touch, George lets go of her waist, slightly pushing her away. She blinks at the surprising gesture. Baffled.
“I’m sorry, I can’t do this anymore.”
With that, George walks out of the floor. He loosened his tie, feeling suffocated from his thoughts. His head was all over the place. Agreeing to the fake relationship was a mistake. It made him realise the life he could never have, a life with her as his girlfriend. It hurts even more to know that he’s falling deeper in love with her.
He finally stops as he reaches the bridge. He rummages his hair harshly, desperate to get out of his own frenzied head. He feels like he’s going mad. He’s not ready for their relationship to end. Fake or not, he knows that his feelings were genuine and that’s all that matters, truly.
“George?” she calls with worry from the end of the bridge “Are you alright?”
“No, no I’m not.” he says desperately, still not looking at her “I feel like I’m going to burst. My head cannot keep quiet for one single second and my heart- My heart’s hurting.”
She was anxious, watching him lose the plot like this. She couldn’t tell what went wrong tonight. He has been quiet all night and has kept her at an arm’s length. She’d asked repeatedly if she could do anything to lift up his mood, but the boy was too deep in his brood and bottling his emotions. Now that it finally erupts, she’s unsure how to dampen it.
“Why did you have to ask me to be your stupid fake boyfriend?” George asks angrily, finally looking at her “How did you even come up with such a heartless idea, like that?”
She frowns, confused at his sudden outburst.
“You’re cruel, do you know that?”
“How am I cruel? You’re the one that willingly agrees to my plan, I never forced you to say yes.”
“Well, how would you expect me to say no when I am so deeply in love with you?!”
She blinks, caught off guard at his confession.
“Yeah, that’s right. I love you. I’ve always loved you.” he says again as if he could read her mind “But that doesn’t matter, does it? You don’t care about my feelings. It never matters for you.”
“What are you talking about?”
George groans in despair, “I am in love with you, alright? And it drives me nuts that this fake relationship is everything I’ve ever wanted but I know that you don’t feel the same way so I can only pretend that it’s working, but it’s not. It’s only making me more and more desperate for you.”
He couldn’t find the right words to convey his feelings. Everything was in turmoil. He was angry, disappointed, and desperate at the same time. Who would have known that being in love would push them to the pit of insanity?
“Then ask for it.”
George raises an eyebrow, still looking very much in vexation, “What?”
“Ask for it. Ask me to be your girlfriend.” she challenges, staring back at him with firmness “You never got the gut to ask me yet blame me entirely for not having the perfect fantasy of us together.”
He chuckles bitterly, “I’m here unhinged from my feelings for you and you still have the heart to joke about it,”
“I’m not joking. Why are you always belittling my feelings about you?” she asks, this time sounds like she’s nettled herself “I have literally given all the signs that I want you to ask me out. I want you to ask me to the Ball. And yet, you’re still so daft to pick them up that I have to ask you to be my fake boyfriend to finally have the chance to kiss you.”
George was at a loss of words. He stares at her with confused empty eyes.
“Haven’t you ever wondered why I wanted the relationship to be convincing? It’s because I want you to fall for me. I hoped that somehow, one of these days you’re going to see that I’m not so bad of a fake girlfriend and that you could finally ask me to be your real girlfriend instead.” she rants, chest heaving in anger “Blimey Georgie, you could be such an airhead at times.”
“You’re not- You’re not joking, are you?”
She stares at him with angry eyes, shaking her head.
In an instant, the loud voices in his eyes dissipated. George lets out a relieved sigh, chuckling lightly as he takes closer steps to her. He tries to pull the angry girl closer, placing his hands on her waist. He smiles wide, the silliest grin he has ever shown. His eyes were practically gone from all the cheeks folds.
“You really mean it, didn’t you?”
“George Fabian Weasley, if you ask me one more time, I will throw you off the bridge and make it seem like it’s a suicide.”
He grins, planting a kiss at the tip of her nose, “I love you.”
She rolls her eyes, “You have yet to ask me to be your girlfriend.”
“Do I have to, though? I mean you’ve basically confessed that you love me too.”
“Well I wasn’t the one throwing a fit for not having a girlfriend ten minutes ago, am I?”
George smiles, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ear, “Love, would you please be my girlfriend?”
She bites the growing grin and nods.
Sparing no other minute, George leans in and seals their new relationship with a kiss. This time he kisses her deeper, showing the desperation he held a few minutes ago that has now melted into tender delight. At last, he could finally kiss her passionately and know that she’s kissing him back genuinely. His doubts and second guesses are dispersing into thin air.
Perhaps tonight isn’t so bad after all.

HD fic recs : Muggle Life (part 1)
Here are a few recs where either Harry or Draco are living a muggle life. This is part one of three and focuses on shorter fics (up to 30k). Listed in alphabetical order, as always.
An Aching Soul by @writcraft [14k]
I can’t help but wonder if Potter’s really as fine as he claims to be. There’s something strange about seeing the vanilla hero of the wizarding world eye-fucking someone across a crowded bar before slipping off into the shadows
Draco Malfoy escapes to the Muggle world to avoid his parents, memories of the war and Harry Potter. However, some things prove harder to escape than others as Draco realises when his favourite Muggle haunt is rudely invaded by a post-war Harry who is struggling to cope with grief, growing up and the battle with his inner demons.
Be not defeated by the rain by hereticalvision [22k]
Exiled from both Britain and the magical world, Draco Malfoy makes a living by identifying illegal magical artefacts on behalf of the Yakuza in Kyoto.  He’s almost put his past behind him when Head Auror Potter shows up in Japan chasing a Celtic relic, and Draco’s life is once again thrown into utter turmoil.
Coins by Inell [5k]
Coins make a certain jingling sound whenever they are tossed onto the top of a wooden bureau.
Develop, Stop and Fix by @onbeinganangel [15k]
In his five years in New York City, James Black has earned significant fame as a photographer. In fact, he’s attracted the attention of London curator D. Black. Harry Potter uses a fake name and runs away. In a way, so does Draco Malfoy.
How do these stories connect? It’s quite simple: they’re one and the same.
Doing the Lambeth Walk by blamebrampton [26k]
There are only three traditional choices for the cashed-up hero after victory. Harry Potter is too young to settle down and provide the wizarding world with a happy ending, and has too acute a sense of humour to spiral downwards into a spectacular flame-out. That leaves a life of good works. Choosing to lead it in Muggle Brixton comes with its own set of challenges, including Malfoys in the biscuit aisle.
Exposure by GallaPlacidia [26k]
When Seamus uncovers Draco Malfoy’s camboy profile, he, Harry and Ron decide to anonymously book a private show so as to humiliate him later. Fascinated by Draco’s confidence, Harry keeps booking private shows under the disguise…
Self prompt: Draco is a camboy. Harry betrays him.
Full by shushu_yaoi_lj / @orange-peony​ [16k]
The door opens and the bell goes ding.
Draco’s eyes immediately fly to the entrance of his bookshop, his heart beating madly in the hope that it’s him.
Hush, darling by @magpiefngrl [23k]
Draco is in trouble. To get out of it he needs to seduce Harry Potter.
In Plain Sight by @pennygalleon [4k]
Harry doesn’t tire of this. It’s a sense of belonging he’d never even dared to dream of having back when he was living with the Dursleys.
So it’s probably too good to be true…
It Takes a Village by Saras_Girl [24k]
Eighth year isn’t exactly going to plan. Harry is definitely not running away, Draco is definitely not impressed, and it’s almost definitely not going to stop raining.
Leave the Past Behind by sesheta_66 [25k]
When Harry is sent undercover to get Draco’s testimony against two suspected Death Eaters, he finds Draco living as a Muggle with no memory of his past. Harry, determined to find out who did this to Draco, finds himself enthralled by the magic of the Isle of Skye and fascinated by the stranger he thought he knew.
Leave Your Field to Flower by @emmagrant01 [12k]
Draco Malfoy is like all the other Survivors of the disaster – except for one called Harry Potter.
Let him lead me to the banquet by @harryromper [16k]
The worst part is Harry’s got no idea why Malfoy keeps sending him invites. He’s never replied to a single one. And if the whole dinner is as exclusive and sought-after as the Prophet keeps breathlessly reporting, then presumably the only reason Malfoy wants him there is in his capacity as the Chosen One. So, really, he can fuck right off. Harry doesn’t care about Draco Malfoy’s redemption tour. And he’s certainly not going to help him with it.
Lift Your Open Hand by @firethesound [18k]
With Draco Malfoy as his assigned partner for the next six weeks of Auror training, Harry had been prepared for things to go poorly. But getting themselves accidentally bonded to each other in the first twenty minutes of their very first assignment seemed going above and beyond, even for them.
Look For Me In The Sun by @wolfpants [8k]
Harry and Draco are on the run in America after a mysterious string of werewolf-like attacks in the Muggle community causes the Ministry to  impose new and harsh anti-werewolf legislation. Giant trees, crashing waves, seedy motel rooms, and the long and winding coastal road awaits them, but will they ever be able to go back home?
Magic Tricks by talithan [5k]
When Draco agreed to accompany his flatmate to a Muggle magic show, he did not expect Harry Potter to be the magician onstage. Since then, nothing has gone according to plan.
Moneymaker by @dictacontrion [16k]
As a top trader, Draco has power and money, suits and cars, houses and good champagne - everything a person could want. So when Auror Potter comes looking for help, Draco can’t think of anything that might persuade him to lend a hand.
Well…maybe one thing.
Nine Days in Coventry by @sitaz [16k]
When a de-aged Draco Malfoy is discovered in Knockturn Alley, the Ministry appoints Family Liaison Officer Potter as his emergency guardian. Whisked away to a Muggle safehouse, Draco does not cope well, and Harry learns just how hard life can be when a five-year-old declares war on you.
Nobody’s Ever Died Of A Broken Heart by Frayach [10k]
Harry staggers under a burden of grief, trying both to remember and to forget
Normal Is the Watchword by lamerezouille [29k]
This story is about love and family and yes, maybe it’s not supposed to be about Jamie exactly, but Draco and Harry are very stubborn and Jamie’s just a kid, you can’t expect him to completely extract himself from a story he’s actually living, right?
Qui Vivra Verra by camomiletea [22k]
“It’s just- It’s a bit funny is all. Draco Malfoy working in a coffee shop.”
“Patisserie,” Malfoy corrected.
The one where Harry is a sad tourist and Draco feeds him croissants.
Reading Malfoy by @femmequixotic [15k]
After thirteen years of hiding himself away in Muggle London, Draco Malfoy shows up again in the wizarding world–with a wickedly amusing memoir in hand. Harry doesn’t want to read it. Really. He doesn’t.
Rich Friend by iota [18k]
As far as Harry can tell, Draco Malfoy is still rich as hell. He’s just not a wizard anymore. Featuring: Draco Malfoy trying to make it as a Muggle pop star, Harry Potter as our confused and horny hero, bad driving, good music, and the mysterious magic of falling for someone.
Sourdough by academicdisaster [17k]
Draco writes romance novels and doesn’t leave his apartment much. Harry  bakes bread and sells it to Draco. Draco is quite weird. Harry might  like that.
Trust In A Broken Thing by SqueekaCuomo [23k]
If the ring was broken, that could only mean one thing… Harry Potter was dead.
Twelfth Night, or Harry Potter Is A No-Good Tosser by lotus_lizzy [8k]
There is only one thing a 13-year-old can do to protect his father, and that’s to sneak, snoop, and bury my nose into things where it most certainly does not belong. But Harry Potter is up to no good, and with my father’s probation almost at an end, I have to make sure Mr Potter doesn’t ruin it. It would help if my dad would stop giving me so many chores, though.
Twelve Hours by @eidheann [14k]
The last thing Harry expected to see while leaving the takeaway was Malfoy dumping his garbage into a bin on the kerb of a Muggle neighborhood.
The Weight of a Wanting Heart by @femmequixotic [11k]
After nearly two decades hidden away in the Wiltshire countryside, Draco Malfoy’s surprised to see a familiar face come into his local.
When You Kiss Me (What A Lovely Way To Burn) by @femmequixotic [22k]
A drag fairytale of New York in which Draco wears red lipstick and Potter can’t get enough.
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

What's interesting about even the busty asian beauty thing is that he never says anything like that about asian women in reality/outside of porn. Like it doesn't make the 'joke' ok, it's definitely still gross, but it's porn, it's 'fantasy'. Despite sam saying he confuses porn and real life I think dean separates the two in his brain and his actions towards real people don't really align with sam's comment. Dean isn't perfect but some corners of fandom really make him sound way grosser than he is
First off, just need to point blank say, the BAB stuff is horrible and gross and always made me super uncomfortable whenever it would pop up on the show. And it's VERY much a writer problem. The writers either had to be extremely unaware or just didn't care abt how gross and fetishizing that magazine is for it to keep recurring like it did in the show. This is one of those instances where, yes, you could absolutely do a critique of Dean + fetishizing asian women and that would totally be valid because it is canonically in the show, but for me I just can't get past it being such a glaring writing issue and it doesn't feel aligned w/ a lot of Dean's character.
But god do I have a lot to say abt Dean + porn in general from a Dean studies perspective. I've wanted to make a proper post abt this for a long time but I want to provide more specifics so I gotta wait until I'm further along in my rewatch. But the gist of it is that for me and in my interpretation, the majority of Dean's porn consumption is very much clearly separate from reality. He tends to prefer over the top, borderline cringe and cheesy productions. Like those Casa Erotica films. And if you read Dean as someone who likely did some form of sex work for survival (very possibly underage as well) I think it makes a lot of sense for Dean to prefer these very obviously staged films instead of some kind of amateur thing.
Like, no doubt there are huge problems in the porn industry, not arguing that, but from Dean's perspective these over the top staged performances feel safer. These women are clearly performers and less likely to be some vulnerable person being nonconsensually filmed or forced to do these acts. I think he likes that it's fake. Even his love of anime and tentacle porn like, those things are so clearly fake. And in this case, they're animated! There is no real person that could potentially be a victim. There's a distance between reality and fantasy for Dean, and again this is purely my own headcanons and interpretations, but I think for him, if he had a traumatic history with sex work (which again, likely was more for survival and therefore not really a 'choice' or something empowering for him) then this sort of cheesy porn would feel very safe and comfortable for him and less likely to trigger past trauma or other uncomfortable feelings. Even when he meets that porn star, he's very star struck in a "fan" sort of way, which again highlights that he views those films as well, films, and he recognizes that it's all fake. I'm pretty sure he even like, compliments her on her talent and performance. Because he knows it's a job and an act. But yea there's just so much more that could be said about this.

Tumblr media
I'm morbidly fascinated by those "quotes" blogs. Whenever one of them makes it onto my dash I often compulsively hate-scroll through it for a couple of minutes, and I almost always find that while *some* of the blog is made up of vetted aphorisms and statements by identifiable people, a LOT of it is always some sort of extremely clumsy platitude attributed to "Unknown", as if it's a piece of ancient folk wisdom--but on closer inspection it's barely meaningful, like the one above. What does that say, "things that are hard to do are hard when you do them"? Yes, it is literally true that difficult doesn't mean impossible, is that really useful to point out? I would even get this more if the quote were something like "Impossible only means difficult"; there ya go, there's a little chicken soup for the teenage soul type of mindbender for ya. But what we have instead is just a definition of difficulty with a list of tags longer than the two sentences themselves. Thanks a lot, real inspiring. And then some of the quotes laid at the feet of poor old Unknown are just something like, "All I need is a cup of coffee, my favorite sweater, and a dog-eared book on a rainy day," and you're like Is this really a quote? Is the idea of "quotes" still worth something if we just mean "anything that could potentially come out of someone's mouth"? If you gave any of the people who run these blogs a copy of Bartlett's it would probably blow their brains out of their minds.
So because I get obsessed with things I don't understand, I start thinking about who it is that cooks these things up. There's someone, somewhere sitting at their computer trying to think of "deep" things to say, things that fit a certain tone and pattern that targets "your loneliest elderly relative on Facebook", and then they just write them down and slap "Unknown" on the end like it's some kind of profound secret that the reader is fortunate to stumble upon. To me, some of the results are just word salad. Like I think I know how this one is going to end, but then:
Tumblr media
Ignoring the stray hyphen...my "pure soul"? I guess this is one way of saying "it's what's inside that counts", but seriously, what the fuck. What the hell are you talking about. But I have enough self-doubt in my constitution to wonder if I just don't get something here; I start to have a waking nightmare that this is actually an unattributed verse from Rumi or some shit that I'm just too primitive to recognize or understand. So I go Google this, and of course I find 15 or so versions of this:
Tumblr media
And I'm back to trying to envision the culprit sitting at their computer trying to figure out how to sound like the oracle at Delphi real quick before their lunch break is over. What motivates someone to do this? Do they think they're going to get a book deal out of it? A lot of people will just do anything for attention; years ago I saw a post with this dry, formal caption about the domestic abuse incidents that led up to the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson along with regular pictures of her with VERY poorly photoshopped injuries. It was like...dude that is all a matter of public record, with real photos already in circulation, WHY ARE YOU FAKING THIS?? Maybe I'm just too much of an alien to understand why anyone does anything at all. But anyway, if this is too much negativity for you before 8am, try this version on for size, and have a terrific day.

I always rolled my eyes whenever that post about too much fics always being setted up in American cities and not being afraid of use your own country because of how dumb it sounds.
Except...except until I watched Chainsaw man because...BECAUSE I CAN CLEARLY PICTURE DENJI WEARING ONE OF THOSE PUBLIC MEXICAN SCHOOL UNIFORMS
Just imagine it
Fleeing from Makima the Hayakawa family have to go somewhere far, somewhere Makima control won't reach them. Somewhere she will never thought to look after them.
México is perfect.
(In fact most latino countries are)
Because Aki uses most of his money to pay the costs of moving and buying fake IDs and also because they have to lay low they move to your common popular low income Mexican neighbourhood.
Denji enrolls in the local public high school
(Originally i was envisioning Denji in one of those public middle school uniforms, if you are Mexican you know which ones, but these work too)
Despite everything he does okay-ish in school.
He isn't the only teen who can barely read in high school and because he is a foreigner he gets a pass. Aki, armed with a dictionary, helps him with his homework as much as he can so yeah. He's doing ok.
Except when he's picking fights(the other boys are jealous of how much he is getting the girls attention) and/or being rude to teachers.
That's when they decide to call his parents for a much needed meeting.
What they weren't expecting was for a polite good looking young man missing an arm coming in and declaring himself Denjis older brother and guardian.
What they werent expecting much less was for said good looking young man to apologize profusely for Denjis behaviour and swear he will do his best to have a talk with Denji. That they will accept any punishment they deem necessary.
They love him immediately
They love him a little less(not by much really) once they learn what he does for a living.
Because they needed to make a lot of money quick (in case they had to run away again) and without being questioned about their papers, past or appearance Aki has no choice but to open the most prolifilic bussines you can open in Mexico starting from nothing:
He starts a puesto de micheladas.
(of course Aki has the skills to do something else but even if he manages to not doubt the quality of his forged papers he is still a clearly japanese immigrant with a dubious past and a missing arm who barely speaks the language. He has no chance at formal jobs and said missing arm disqualifies him for most manual labor. The easiest route is food and still he has problems by not being familiar with the cuisine and ingredients)
It becomes popular among young people because Power works there attending customers and everyone wants to bang Denjis super hot sister so they buy more and invite her over
Aki of course doesn't let Power drink but she doesn't know because he always prepares super special drinks for her(nothing more than a simple flavored soda) made to look the same ( yes for those who know un simple refresco preparado. He got the idea from watching customers come in with their kids and asking for that) and she keeps boasting about how mighty she is by not getting drunk like the other weak humans with their feeble minds even though she gets special drinks.
All the customers know what Aki does but nobody dares to speak up against the young man with a missing arm and the stare of someone who has seen too much and seems capable of anything... So they accept it as part of her charm.
That and how easily she burns her tongue with anything remotely spicy noy matter how much she denies it (Denji isn't much better but he manages. If he can eat rotten food he can handle a little spicy here and there)
Denji also works there attending customers and breaking fights. An amazing feat considering how tiny he looks even after throwing out 5 rowdy customers.
Between that, Power being unable to keep her caps/hats on while working (there's just so many times you can convince people that her horns were just a drunk mass hallucination) and the rumours of Denji just standing up and dusting his pants after getting shot in the chest after he resisted when someone tried to rob him on his way back home from school people quicky realize the new neighbors are demons/fiends.
But either because the mexican equivalent of Public Safety doesn't exist or they are just incompetent a hunter never comes no matter how many times they call.
At most the police comes when it gets too loud but all Aki has to do is offer free drinks to the officers and they go on their merry way.
So once people realize they aren't there to drag their souls down to hell and are mostly harmless (yeah they seem super strong and could kill them... but so could many other things. Fear of the death? Here? Pfffft) they leave them alone. They couldn't be worse than the santeros from the other street.
Mostly alone.
Aki still gets stinky eyes from the women whenever he goes to the market to buy groceries
That all changes once Angel goes out.
After seeing nothing happens and nobody came after them once their devil nature got too hard to hide they thought people were ok with them being devils.
So Angel, who was absolutely bored out of his mind from being cupped inside the house all the time as the most outstanding of them, argued that if Power could go out so could he. There was no way he could do worse than Power.
So after a lot of begging Aki finally relented.
It was a grave mistake.
Not because people were scared of Angel.
Oh no.
On the contrary.
All the grandma's in the neighbourhood fell in love with him.
They thought he was a straight up actual angel that descended from heaven to bless the earth.
The concept of an angel devil was unthinkable. Who would in their sane mind fear angels?
Angel hates it.
He wants to be back locked inside the house but it's too late. The grandma's come everyday knocking at the door asking for Angels power to relieve their aches or bless their family.
Even the priest at the local church had to intervene and ask them to stop. That this was against god.
It was to not avail.
The old ladies were dead set on their beliefs. Adoring angel and putting him on a pedestal like a golden idol. Venerating him.
Even when time passed and the novelty wore off. When it was obvious Angel couldn't do/wouldn't do half of the shit they believed. Even then they kept loving him.
He was a fine looking polite young man. Very cute.
Actually he was pretty rude.
They still wouldn't stop pinching his cheeks and sending him back home with dish upon dish of food they cooked for him.
Unluckily for Angel Aki gladly accepted th and even encouraged Angel to keep doing whatever he was doing
After all this time he was still struggling to cook with ingredients he wasn't familiar with (why didn't the rice stick the way it should? Why did noodles taste different? WHAT THE FUCK WAS A MARUCHAN WITH CHILE PIQUIN Y LIMON??) and he was starting to worry about running low on money and Denjis and powers health with how much street food they had to ate to compensate Aki's lack of cooking skills.
This way at least Power and Denji got to eat some home cooked meal instead of stuffing their mouths with tacos de a $1 (Aki knew Power and Denji could eat almost anything and those tacos were a lifesaver those first months but yeah... Better to not risk it)
Besides now everybody was starting to treat Aki better whenever he went out (and this time without him having to give free drinks).
Because...
Those who had control over the local grandmas had control over the whole neighbourhood.
And Angel hated it.
He hated it even more when the priest came over and declared Angel had to help out at church to compensate for leading poor defenseless old ladies through the path of damnation.
Angel was going to refuse until Aki heard the priest was willing to pay him a wage.
It was the only job that would allow Angel to work without having to stuff himself in an overcoat to hide his wings in the middle of the day at 20°C. He would just look like a super devoted disguised weirdo Aki argued.
Angel didn't care.
It would be pretty devilish of Angel to pretend being an actual angel working in a church Aki tried.
Angel still didn't care.
Well in that case if Angel didn't want to work there then he could busy himself by working shifts at the business with them and watching over Power during serving hours so Denji could dedicate more time to his homework.
Angel immediately accepted the priest offer
His job mas mainly cleaning and organizing papers around.
Truth be told Angel sucked at his job and spent most of it sleeping but the grannies were once again attending church every sunday and that was worth the pay to the priest.
(Still Angel also ended up taking shifts to watch over Power and prep with Aki so Denji and power herself could free some time)
(Even though it wasn't that necessary bc Denjis single teachers kept asking denji about his hot older brother after the first time Aki went and were very lenient with him when he didn't turned in homework once they knew Denji tended to help Aki out)
Now that the community was treating them better and Denji had more time he took up little jobs at the market helping butchers cut down big frozen pieces of meat with his powers or carrying around ladies bags and heavy crates.
He usually got payed with money. But sometimes with a bag of fruit/vegetables to Aki's delight. Or sometimes even with a bag of blood from the butchers which was really helpful in case of a sudden injury or simply to quell Powers complains.
Now with both Angel's meager pay and Denji's extra money Aki was able to ample the business by adding hot wings and hamburgers (the tears he cried when he discovered he could at least do that) and stop feeling guilty about selling alcohol to young people.
The business ran smoothly and the four of them could mostly calm down.
Or that was until Christmas season came and the old ladies and the priest himself wouldn't stop asking Angel if he was going to be part of the pastorela this year.
They of course thought he was perfect to play the part of the angel.
Angel of course doesn't want to
Aki tells Angel that as part of the church staff it's his obligation to take part of this even (it really isn't but they don't know that) and that he could learn something
Angel tells Aki that in that case he should be really happy because they also want Power to play as one of the devils
Once Power hears about the piñata and the sweets she'll get nobody can change her mind.
She of course also ends up dragging Denji into it. He plays as one of the peasants trying to get to Bethlehem while Power is one of the mischievous devils trying to derail them and Angel as the reluctant angel that guides them
They are a little too old to be part of the play. It's ridiculous.
But now that all his family is part of the play Aki can worm his way into the group of moms preparing the meal for that day and he finally gets to learn how to cook local dishes.
The day of the play unhappy with the planned ending Power tries to wrestle the other kids for protagonism to show the mightiness of demons. Denji tries to stop her. Angel just watches from the sidelines.
Its complete chaos. Kids are screaming. The scenario is getting destroyed.
It's like any other pastorela.
Aki doesn't stop taking pictures like a proud dad during the whole ordeal.
Once it's time for the piñata Power goes hog wild and summoning a blood bat breaks it before anybody gets a chance to hit it.
She is pretty dissapointed when all that comes from it it's 'more veggies'.
All in all they enjoy it.
Now that Aki can finally cook he can finally leave the alcohol business (and stop corrupting the kids as he sees it on his mind) and goes a step forward:
He opens a puesto de comida económica
Angel quits his job at the church to help him full time.
Denji and Power help him after school when it's more crowded.
Power now also enrolls into school but although she's s little old she starts at middle school.
Aki and the others don't think she could handle highschool yet. They are correct.
And this marks the first year of the Hawakawas coming to live in Mexico.
Life is good.
Bonuses I came up with while talking about this au with my best friend:
At some point during the first months Aki buys *insert your adultered/cheap alcohol of preference* because he wants to cut up expenses and he hear someone say it does the job/every puesto de bebidas uses it.
Half of Denji class misses school the next day
The Mexican public safety department receives that day a lot of calls about three powerful demons cursing all the teens into the hospital in a certain neighbourhood. It's one of the first complaints about them they get.
Not wanting to deal with that shit they literally ignore it.
In their defense they also think it's another case of parents blaming their kids getting drunk/high on demons.
The fact they are kind right doesnt make it better
(am I talking about the parents? The Mexican public safety? Yes)
The reason why Mexico is the perfect place for the Hayakawa to hide it's because once they escape Makima/Japan public safety starts calling every devil containment dependence around the world asking for them and the Mexican branch very aware there are lots of reports of sightings of devils fitting the description but wanting to ignore it being like "no.... We haven't seen anything like that"
The reason why the Mexican department doesn't tell on them can be summarized by the 3 points:
They literally don't want to deal with this shit
Some of the officers know Aki and like the free micheladas he gives them so they ain't snitching on him (yes Aki manages to befriend the police here faster than he ever did back in public safety. They even invite him to smoke with them when they are drinking at his bussines. Aki can't really refuse.)
eventually the reports get lost among a bunch of other papers they had so at some point they aren't even lying anymore and that way get to evade Makimas control
So in the ends it's something like: Blood fiend? Chainsaw devil? We only know al chino y sus hermanos
they then proceed to hang up on Makima
Aki cries everytime he goes to the market. He doesn't understand why the lady at the marked keeps giving him a rock whenever he asks for something to help him clean the bathroom.
He's pretty sure the words are right. He asked Denji and he says his pronunciation is alright...SO WHY? WHY THE FUCl DOES THE LADY KEEP GIVING HIM A ROCK?
He now has 60 of them.
The boy just nods and smiles and pays for the rocks instead of asking. He stores them under the cupboard.
He's very stressed.
Between school and his amazing adapting skills Denji is the best of them at spanish. Aki has to carry a dictionary and hesitates when enunciating. Power just sputters nonsense and gets way with it. Angel just doesn't talk much.
He actually could be very good at it but he's too lazy to study it. Besides he only has to show the minimum of interest in something before an old lady is giving it to him for free. So as Power he gets away with not really practicing the language.
Denji and Power are the kind of kids to always buy unhealthy snacks (papitas con chile, chicharrones, dorilocos) after school even though they can barely handle spicyness.
Aki is suffering for their health. He doesn't understand why they do that when there's so much new fruit they can eat. Aki is in heaven everytime he buys himself un vaso de fruta picada or un agua de sabor.
Angel on his part is content with all the new desserts he gets to eat: Fresas con crema, plátanos fritos, duraznos en almíbar to name a few
Not to mention how crazy Angel goes after he learns bout all the new ice cream flavors there. And raspados and paletas congeladas.
That's all for now folks.
If I ever think of something more for this au I'll let you know and if you come with something else let me know.
I had so much fun writing this.

yeah, nah, fuck it. im sharing this post and then i'm just gonna link to it whenever it becomes relevant.
every disagreement i have with yall always comes back to me phrasing things in a way that sounds mean. always, always. like duh, i dont try to sugarcoat how i see things, i have realized that, in fact i do it on purpose. why? well.
i come from a culture where it's often interpreted as deceitful and/or shallow to sandwich your point in with superficial courtesy. if you spend too much time packing your point in with whatever you think will make it easier to swallow, people will start to feel like you're infantalizing them, or straight up wasting their time. being direct and honest from the get-go is seen as a sign of respect - yes, even if what you're saying could easily be interpreted as rude. say what you think, say exactly how you feel, and we'll take it from there. that kinda thing.
when i say an opinion or criticise something on here, i am treating you, the reader, like someone who is smart enough to understand the gist of my argument without being bogged down by its delivery, mature enough to recognize the difference between criticism of your work (or general trends) and criticism of you as a person, and emotionally well-adjusted enough to not pin your self-worth on the negative opinions some random guy on the internet might have of something you do/create/like.
i am showing you respect by talking to you as if you are an adult who can deal with what i might have to say. if you're not, and you can't, i expect you to have the wherewithall to not engage with me. i could at the very least respect that. alternatively, you're also welcome to disagree with my points, obviously. i'm always up for a good discussion.
but you responding to criticism like mine with defensiveness, affront, or worse, the idea that you're now justified to go after the criticiser as a person, only comes across to me like immaturity, self-consciousness, self-importance, and in some cases - deliberate or not - obtusiveness. see how that cultural divide can go both ways?
we're probably not gonna find common ground here. i'm tired of being interpreted as aggressive all the time, but i have no intention of conforming to the american ideal of social courtesy, because it makes me feel shallow, disingenuous and fake. meanwhile, you're probably not gonna be able to hear me speak without shaking the knee-jerk feeling that i'm purposefully ignoring the sensitivity of others (because objectively, i am).
so do we chuck the whole thing up to different culturally determined approaches to communicating our ideas? can we keep a shred of respect and mutual understanding and leave it at that?
or are you gonna insist that i'm immoral/rude/aggressive/callous/antagonistic/attacking people/etc, for voicing my own opinions, in my own way, on my own blog - in which case i, in turn, will feel perfectly content to just consider you an inherently silly person?
as far as i can tell, it's one or the other.
(also please please recognize the difference between using culture as an excuse, and pointing out a very real cultural divide that influences both how i communicate and how you interpret how i communicate. my point is that we're gonna keep talking past each other unless we adress the fact that we approach communication with very different goals in mind, mine being effectiveness and honesty and yours being courtesy and social sensitivity. i am also not saying that either one of these is "the right way" to communicate. don't read shit into my takes that isn't there to begin with. thx)

Seeing as requests are strictly for cryo ladies I'd lioe to see any cryo ladies with an S/O who can't cope in high temperatures.
This is the best thing my 4 braincells could come up with.
Them with a reader that can't handle heat well
characters: Eula/Ganyu/Shenhe x gn!reader (seperate)
warnings: none
a/n: I already clarified this in a previous post, but requests aren't strictly for cryo ladies, you can still request the other women, I simply wanted to write for the cryo-ladies because I have been brainrotting over them during this *nice* heatwave that I'm currently living through.
I left out Ayaka and Rosaria because it's getting pretty late and I did want to finish it before going to sleep.
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Eula
Even if Eula wasn’t someone that showed it, she wasn’t a huge fan of the heat either, there was a reason why she took baths in the icy waters of Dragonspine, after all. You had always voiced your thoughts about her habit of doing so, leading her to promise you, that you’d change your opinion about them once day, more than once. And seeing you whine about the heat like this made it seem like the perfect opportunity to do so.
Normally, you’d immediately reject any proposal to go anywhere near the cold waters of Dragonspine, your instinct for self-preservation taking over control before the rest of your brain even had the chance to hear Eula out, but considering the heavy toll the heat had already taken on you, making you unable to even rest in peace without feeling like your home had spontaneously transformed itself into a furnace, jumping headfirst into cold water didn’t sound like a bad idea.
“You know, Eula? I think having visited Dragonspine was enough to cool me down, I think I’m actually ready to go back home already”, you stated before letting out a nervous laugh, regretting having ever agreed to Eula’s proposal the moment the tip of your toe made contact with the ice-cold water, and while you shot her an obviously faked smile, the Lawrence didn’t return the favour one bit, instead giving you a glare.
“Didn’t your parents teach you that it’s extremely rude to go back on your words? In the days of old, breaking one’s promise to an aristocrat would carry serious consequences, and while we no longer live in those days, I wouldn’t expect me to simply leave such a transgression be, if I were you”, she responded before grabbing your arm without words notice and dragging you into the water with her, the somehow unexpected cold causing you to yelp.
“Now don’t act like that. It’s not that cold”, Eula responded to you both literally and figuratively freezing, and while her voice didn’t make it seem like that, she’d be lying if she said she didn’t worry about your reaction in the slightest.
At the end of the day you survived, leaving with not only a new appreciation for warmth, but also probably a cold.
Tumblr media
Ganyu
Whenever summer and its accompanying heat would return to Liyue, it seemed to you like your world was ending. And while you tried your best to put on a brave face in front of others, not wanting to worry Ganyu and any shape or form, the half-Adepti knew you too well at this point to miss your obvious struggle with the temperatures, seeing it as an opportunity to repay you for all the times you took care of her.
Ganyu would use her vision to cool down any room you two found yourself in, no matter if it was inside your home or her office, and while she enjoyed the warmth of the summer sun, the two of you both knew well enough that taking her usual lunch nap anywhere outside of the shade would probably result in you not waking up again.
“How are you dealing with the heat today?”, Ganyu asked you the moment you entered her office, already knowing the answer long before you even opened your mouth to respond but asking anyway, both out of politeness and because she had hoped you’d be honest about it for once.
Instead, you gave her the widest smile you could possibly muster in the heat, hoping she’d ignore the sweat all over your forehead. “I’m doing fine, thanks for asking. Did you remember to take a break every now and then?”, you answered before asking a question in return, only for her to nod her head, proving herself just as much of a liar as you.
“Could you take a look at this paper please and tell me if I filled out everything correctly?” You’d be lying if you said that her asking you for any kind of a favour surprised you, but you walked over to her nonetheless, only for Ganyu to summon her small cryo-orb shortly after, its cold immediately causing you to relax and revel in it. “I’m sorry if the sudden cold annoys you in any way, I just needed to cool down for a second”, she lied once again before shooting you a shy smile, causing you to return the favour with another wide smile, this one being genuine.
Tumblr media
Shenhe
Shenhe herself never had problems with the weather. Having been trained in the mountains under all kinds of extreme conditions by an Adepti made her resistant to almost everything the weather could throw at her. The same could hardly be said about you however, heat wasn’t your preferred weather, far from it. And while Shenhe tried her best to help you, there was only so much she could use her vision for without hurting anyone, she did use it as a weapon most of the time, after all.
Eventually, she got the idea to ask Chongyun for help, and since he seemed to have an almost inexhaustible number of popsicles, at least enough to help him survive the heat of the summer himself, he was happy to donate a few of them to a fellow sufferer-from-heat.
“Shenhe? Is that you?”, you asked the moment you heard the door to your home open, even thought it realistically could have been no one else. And while Shenhe’s footsteps rang through the halls, approaching you much quicker than you had expected them to, you still couldn’t find it in you to actually lift your head from the pillow and look at her, feeling to exhausted from the heat. That was, until you suddenly felt something cold press against your neck, immediately causing you to look at the popsicle in her hand, causing your eyes to widen in surprise before quickly taking it in your own hands.
“I happened to run into Chongyun today, so I asked him if he could spare a popsicle or two of his”, she stated before continuing to silently watch you enjoy every second of eating the popsicle. You finished in a speed that made her almost worried you might get a brain-freeze or however you called it when you explained to her why people tended to look like their heads were hurting after eating something cold.
“Your nephew?”, you asked, wanting to make sure that you didn’t mix any names up, only to let out an internal sigh of relief when she nodded her head in response. “He’s a lifesaver. Thank you so much, Shenhe. I swear I’ll pay you back for it someday”, you thanked her, probably not for the last time that day, before leaning back and enjoying the refreshed moment for as long as it lasted.

y'know when you read something ages ago and didn't think of it for many years, then try to get into that thing again - hp, only severus and remus related stuff tbh - and you find out the fandom is even more idiotic than you remember, by "fandom" meaning the marauders fans?
your last post made me remember how i'm still in shock people have this newfound fascination with regulus, invent crazy narratives where they basically give him severus' entire character's story, some even go as far as to disappear severus' from their aus, all in favor of giving regulus the space severus had as an spy, AND TEACHER EVEN! i just don't get it. instead of analyzing severus' character to try and understand even the things they don't like about him, they create a whole personality for a character with no real scenes in the stories, while trying to paint him as holy perfect, like he wasn't a black and sirius' kid brother; he wasn't going to be mr. kindness and perfection, no one in that sick family was.
i just? don't understand this wave of hp fans, if the source material is too much to work with, with what it has to offer, then maybe read another book series, a more sugar coated teenage book series? idk. i hate r*wling. i understand being apprehensive of the canon, but i don't like nothing they come up with. it's all the same corny shit but they paint everyone as goodie two shoes and completely ignore their wrongs, minus' severus'. severus can't be forgiven for his mistakes even though he was a child as well when he made them. i feel like the hp fanbase went even more to shit 🤷🏽‍♀️
Yep, and whenever we call them out, 90% of the them they would reply with : Fuck the canon. Which is funny cuz they refuse to stop dogshitting on canon!Severus. I found a character poll on twitter few weeks ago and I can't believe so many marauder fans were shocked that Severus is more popular than Barty and Rosier. Bitch, they were irrelevant 99% of the time of the whole series.
Someone even asked them : Why would Rosier and Barty be more popular than Severus when they were barely there in the book? And they replied : Because they're hot.
Yup. They will fake anyone's whole personality and backgrounds as long as they're 'hot'. And they're not even hot, FANCAST DOESN'T COUNT. They don't give a fuck if someone was a death eater, they never did. (they use this excuse a lot to hate on Severus) God forbid ugly people exist. Marauder fans give me high school mean girl vibe.
Invent crazy narratives where they basically give him Severus entire character's story
Their inability to be creative is so funny to me. Bitches really had to yank Severus' whole storyline and slap it on their favs to make them interesting. Why in the world would Regulus Black work as a spy and teacher in hogwarts? Why would he ask Dumbledore for help? Who is he trying to protect? Kreacher? "Hide Kreacher, I'll do anything" "Kreacher? After all this time?" "Always" lmaooooo.
While trying to paint him as holy perfect, like he wasn't a black and Sirius' kid brother.
They choose to ignore the fact that Regulus Black gave 0 fuck about Muggleborns getting tortured and killed. The only reason he changed sides was because Voldemort tried to hurt Kreacher, someone he genuinely cared about. Sounds a bit familiar to you? Yep, he got the same reasoning as Severus. But one got unnecessary hate while the other was glorified. Ironic.
They paint everyone as goodie two shoes and completely ignore their wrongs, minus Severus.
I've seen too many marauder fans defending the sexual assault during SWM. At this point, they're not even trying to 'ignore' their wrongdoings, it is the opposite actually. They're literally enabling bullying and sa which is hella disgusting.
And you're right, op. The fandom is getting shittier and shittier each day. This is why I refuse to interact with anyone outside of Snapedom.

I think it’s so funny when people take issue with the content that I share on my page, because they’re pretty much expressing their frustrations in a huge vacuum.
God forbid that you see a post where one of your celebrity crushes isn’t bearing a set of perfectly chiseled abs. Oh, the horror!!! It must be so hard for you😢. People really act like I’m out here fat-shaming these guys… like that picture I posted of Shawn Mendes a few days ago, where his stomach is a little rounder than usual. I’ve gotten a handful of messages from these crazy tumblrs, with pages solely dedicated to Shawn… like they’re truly obsessed with him… acting like my post was some kind of attack on him😂. Y’all do know that people with abs don’t have insanely defined abdominal muscles all the time, right? Like, you have to relax your stomach at some point… and, the stomach has a naturally rounded shape to it. Most of the time, when these guys’ abs do look super indented, it’s not even real😭. Welcome to 2023! We’ve had professional photoshop for years now… and Shawn has been a victim of that for ages. I would’ve thought you guys could tell the difference between real and fake by now, this many years into his career… but I guess I should’ve known better. Maybe he was a little bloated, just relaxed, or taking in a breath when someone took the photo of him… but the happenings of that moment have nothing to do with me. The picture exists, IT’S REAL, I saw it, and I liked it… so I shared it😂. Simple and plain. Not once did I call him fat, or say anything discouraging about his body. I did agree with the person that sent in the ask, and express my shared belief that he does look a bit thicker in the photo… and I gave my two-cents on why I thought that was, but I never framed it in a negative way.
I think the real issue, especially for pages like those, is that you guys have this perfect image of him in your heads… and that image is so far detached from reality that it’s scary. You see a candid photo of him and lose your minds, like I’m trying to make him look unattractive, when you’re the ones who associate NORMAL BODIES with being unattractive. That’s not a reflection of me, and you’re wasting your time projecting your own feelings onto me. Not that he has anything to do with Shawn, but I’ve seen so much love from fans of Harry Styles… like, the hardcore ones. From my experience, they see his tummy as something of beauty… and actually appreciate it whenever it doesn’t look “ideal.” Harry gets bloated, just like the rest of us… he gains and loses weight, just like the rest of us… and he doesn’t always have crazy muscle definition. Bodies change — even from minute to minute — and a great deal of his fans, like myself, seem to understand that. Like I said, he has nothing to do with Shawn, and he’s far from my only example… but there’s such a stark contrast in the ways that I’ve been addressed in conversations that I’ve had about the two.
I really don’t have to explain myself to you any further, but if you READ anything on my page, you’d know that trying to twist my intentions/reasons for sharing the content that I choose to share, just to sound as though you’re morally superior, is a waste of time and energy. There are plenty of pages out there that are actually being negative, and attacking people for their appearances… and my page IS NOT one of them. If you’re going to be a loudmouth, or be a performative activist behind a screen, go do it someplace where it actually matters.

A creep: fetishizes wlw relationships and constantly speaks as if he knows what a dead man wants and insults said man's friends despite him tweeting about not wanting fans to do that
You: ignores that and say that Miles is bad too despite it not relating to syto being a creep as well, and not having any arguments for the 2nd anon so just hit them with the "you're using big words that you don't know the meaning of"
Also I really love how whenever someone says anything true about a rwde member you try to deflect it by saying that rwby/crwby also did it, fun fact: just because crwby did it it doesn't excuse rwde, also whenever you say that it's always with asks that didn't even praise rt/crwby for anything, for all we know they could dislike that about them too and simply called it out elsewhere
In conclusion: Congratulations! You're clown of the day :D
You can keep trying to sound smart anon, but you're the one defending the fool who tried to make my post about holding RWDE accountable for racist behaviour about some stupid ass AUs and drawing Monochrome. The only clown in this circus is you, baby girl.
And I damn will use CRWBY when this FNDM constantly ignores these straight men queerbaiting with wlw relationships, straight up made one of the lesbian characters based on a nazi, the other one bitter because the girl she's about to send back to her abusive ex didn't notice her, wanted to do queerbait with the first gay character in Pilot Boi after seeing how popular he was, and strung along the hyperbole of who would be a good boyfriend for Jaune because he was paid to do so while the mlm rep is downright atrocious.
Not even getting into how they treat real life queer people like Kdin and Arryn. But you guys are quick to call an artist fetishising for drawing Monochrome? And having a history of driving artists away who also drew queer characters like Dashingicecream?
These ain't apples and oranges. I don't give one idota of a shit for some petty ass drama because you guys don't like some dude being too mean about your shitty ass fake anime. I care about the PoC who were sent death threats and rape threats by stans, for having our complaints parroted by critics who then went and showed that they didn't know what the fuck they were talking about, for having our real complaints, the same ones that would be taken just to beat CRWBY with, then said we're "reaching" or "overreacting" like me explaining as an Irish Traveller that the depiction of Jinxy was fucking racist.
I don't care that you don't like SYTO and most of the original ask that I answered was straight up "I don't like his AU", which is so fucking childish.
Get out of my inbox you crusty looking bag of moldy wonderbread.

Can you share some of those screenshots from your jeff collection??
djdkfkdkd i mean!!!! sure lmao. this will include nine billion screenshots so i’ll put it behind a read more or whatever (also sorry this took so long but i had to kind of sort through these/make selections/shittily censor names of people who aren’t like. celebrities in their own right)
some notes just so no one can clown on me: most of these are from random internet people; i have a bunch of articles as well but the screenshots here are mmmmostly coming from the comments i’ve managed to hoard over the last few years. i lurk in facebook groups on my fake account and whenever i’m not providing my unsolicited input and dissolving pointless fights between strangers i am screenshotting cute shit. anyway, many (most?) of the non-article anecdotes are ppl who i am like, BASICALLY certain are telling the truth. but there are a few where it’s like…idk. they’re all harmless enough that believing it won’t hurt anyone even if it’s not true lmao but as a general rule yeah yeah yeah people can say whatever they want on the internet, etc., whatever. that’s ur disclaimer
i'm also ANNOYED bc there were a few more i would have liked to include here but apparently i'm not as organized as i thought
anyway!!! yeah half of these are just people talking about meeting him lmao but there are a few things from articles andddd idk. Other Things. but without further ado!!!:
Tumblr media
adorable
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
this guy (in the above screenshot which i didn’t crop properly sjckdkfls) is from the band starbuck, so no shitty censoring for him. there was another thing where he elaborated on the whole story but i may not have screenshotted it? :(
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
this one just killed me tbh
Tumblr media
^ this one is MEAN but also like. cute. poor baby. Random People were like, debating whether or not this is true but i have no idea who this person's Source was so. the world may never know
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
this whole article is just some silly goose material
okay and the following are ones that come from like. trusted sources lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^these two are by the same woman who comments occasionally. it's extremely cute bc she kind of adores him i think. same
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this lady tells this story plus a few other lil things pretty often. she's always like "my mother thought he was a lovely boy and he was." my heart. ur mom had good taste
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ THIS ONE in these last two is a confirmed Friend and talks about him a lot. i have so many thoughts re: the first thing but i’m not sure how to articulate that
Tumblr media
this one isn't that entertaining but i just thought it was sweet lmao. people were fighting with each other within the group (so like. the usual basically) and i think he kinda misunderstood what was happening. understandable bc half of the people in there seem to be recreationally insufferable. but! oh well very Cute
anyway!! there's definitely more but i don't want to spam too much and some things i just haven't saved unfortunately :( there have been like. multiple stories of ppl hunting him down at his house in the 80s and talking to him for extended periods of time (that sounds sooo unsafe tbh but then again i'm biased bc i will hide if someone rings my doorbell and nobody even knows who i am). those were all very cute and even though that’s kind of a lowkey stalker vibe it does make me like, hmmmm would’ve been nice to be born earlier!
also i have one thing where somebody was like...sharing a post card he apparently sent to their now-deceased relative in the 70s. it was sooo cute but i feel kind of weird about reposting it (even tho it was shared publicly tbh...) but if anyone's eager to see it let me know and i'll send it privately. there are a FEW things of that nature where i'm just like 'this is cute but posting it would seem Weird'
anyway! i hope that was sufficient :^)

TWDG Ericsson kids with a reader who is tall, has tattoos and scars!
Violet
Tumblr media
She was definitely intrigued by your scar and tattoos she thought they where so cool lmao
She’d wait until you played that stupid card game to get a chance to ask you about them
Once you too go out she feels comfortable asking you more questions about it!
She’d also want to touch your scars and tattoos! Don’t ask why she just would like too lmao!
She also loves that she has to look up at you because your so tall
Even before you where dating you could see this girl blush whenever she had to look up to talk to you
Mitch
Tumblr media
Man was JEALOUS
You where everything he wanted to be!
He wouldn’t ask you straight up about your tattoos and scars but if you where talking about them he would definitely listen in lmao
He’d then make random conversation about it with you
“So…where’s you get your tattoos from?”
“How’d you get that scar?”
Please don’t take offence to this mans questions! He’s just a bit jelly
Once you start dating he loves when you guys just cuddle and if you let trace any tattoos or scars you have ugh this man will love it!
As I said in a later post he was also jealous that your taller
But now he adores it!!! He feel so at home with you <3
Also if he sees you in a fight with someone he will do encourage you
He’s a mischievous lad and he supports you kicking someone’s ass
Louis
Tumblr media

One of the first things you hear from him are
“Whoa! Sick tats! And those scars? Totally rocking the ‘don’t f*ck with me vibe’.”
Once you two are a thing this man will not hesitate to use you to scare others
“Now are you sure that was the right thing to say? You do know I’m dating them right?”
He’s so proud to be with you!
However when he does see you fight someone I think he’d too scared to say out but he’s just watching like “ 👀”

Once you two become an item he’s all over you like he wants to see every scar and every tattoo
He wants to map everything out lmao
Oh also you get use to seeing this man a lot if your naturally confrontational because people have reported you to him so many times
Sometimes he acts like a real principle lmao
Tenn
Like I said in another one you’d like his hero (or cool member of authority)
Whenever some one picks on him or makes him set he goes over to you to talk about it
And at this point the person who made him so upset has FLED
Also he wants to draw out your tattoos!
Mainly because Willy wanted to be like you so he asked tenn to redraw them on him lmao!
You have his full and total trust!
He also doesn’t care that you have scars he just think it adds more character to you!
Willy
Like I said in Tenns one, he wanted to be just like you!
And once he has is fake tattoos from tenn he’s definitely going to show them off to you
“Look at that! Aren’t they cool! Tenn did them for me! We’re the same now!”
Also just like tenn when you see someone being mean to him you instantly jump in!
Scaring the shit out of whoever decided to upset him
He loves that your always there for him however the down side is that he’s one cocky bastard now
It’s kinda funny but also sweet!
You and Mitch and literally his bodyguards
Aj
He didn’t know what tattoos where at first so prepare for a lot of questions
“Hey who drew on your arm? You have a mark on you how’d you do that? Can I get a tattoo?”
It’s low-key so funny and totes adorable!
Just like tenn and Willy when someone says summat mean to him you can see him grumping around school
And when you ask him what’s up oh my your furious
You tell him you’ll be back soon before power walking over to the evil sod who upset him!
Let’s just say they won’t say anyone being mean to him anymore

He was definitely curious
He’d sneakily ask you questions if you two where alone
He’d act all cool on the outside
But on the inside?
This man was scared he was so worried you where gonna punch him in the face
But you didn’t <3
And now he respects you
He also respects if you don’t wanna talk about where you got a certain scar or tattoo form
Also if he saw you in a fight he’d just try to talk you out of the situation <3
Omar
His genuine reaction to seeing you is “😯”
He loves how badass you look tho
However if you got into an argument man would be so embarrassed just because he doesn’t know if he should step in or stay out yk?
If you came over while he was cooking that when he would ask you about your tattoos and scars
And if your willing to talk about him he’d leave the stew to simmer so he can give you his full attention

Tbh she found your tattoos a little much at first
She understood your scars even if she was a little worried about them
But your tattoos? Oh she wasn’t happy
She gets use to them because there’s nothing you can do about that yk so she just puts up with it
But if you try to defend her in a fight? Oh lord you’ll never hear the end of it
“I can look after myself!”
“Fightings never the answer!”
She appreciates later but she just doesn’t want you to get into trouble!
Brody
She audibly gasped the first time she saw you
I’m sorry but I can just see her shocked little face lmao
She was just a little scared by you tbh!
But now, like tenn, Willy, and aj, your like her guard dog
Heaven forbid someone picks on her now because you just show up give that bully a glare and their running with their tail between their legs lmao
She loves that she has to look up to talk to you too! She gets all wishy washy in the legs when you look down at her lmao

random thoughts about strong girl nam soon, episode five (pt 1)
(read more because i always get carried away lol and this post might contain spoilers)
hopefully nam soon will be more efficient at being discreet. Even though i don't count on it
i just realized there are eleven episodes left after i finish this one so i kind of understand why it took some time to introduce the villain and develop the story.
I still can't believe the chief of the diu team put the dr*g in his mouth. I think the writers decided to do that because when the chief d1es, the charges against doogo will be heavier and he'll be incriminated for longer. But anyway, it still doesn't make sense that someone who's worked for such a long time in a diu team went and made a rookie mistake, especially given the fact that the whole team saw the effects it had on the two victims of said dr*g. Talk about lack of creativity. I would've understood if he went to the hospital to, let's say, visit a family member and then they gave him the fatal mask. That would have made a lot more sense a lot but no, they chose something so stupid even a rookie would have thought before doing such a thing. Oh and let's not forget how hee sik told him SECONDS BEFORE how the drug works. Talk about impulsive thoughts.
Sorry i'm very disappointed by such reckless behaviour from someone who should know better.
I know i've said nam soon is doing a terrible job at laying on the down low but i do appreciate her enthusiasm. She has lead a pure life, rid of bad intentions so she is adamant on catching the villain and stopping the k1lling of so many victims.
Hee sik being stunned by her super powers is hilarious. He's seen it before but he doesn't know the extent of it. By the end of the drama, he'll just be so impressed he'll become numb to it.
The bells ringing whenever his heart flutters over nam soon.
Nam soon running with hee sik in her arms adds a lot of fun to this moment. He's already become numb to it.
The veins on the ryu si o's arms and back. He's the first experiment of his own drug. I don't know how the makeup/vfx artists did it but it's a really good job. The veins don't look fake.
I'm sorry but hwang geum ju is so badass and elegant at the same time. How does she do that? And the fact she's riding a motorcycle? She's catwoman!!!
who's following hwang geum ju? It's the guy who gave her the opulentia card.
I'm wondering why she revealed her identity so quickly. I mean it could have been dangerous. But we don't know if she gave her identity when signing up to the opulentia site. Or did she need to create an account? Anyway if I were her, I would've kept my helmet on. Would have worked better for the undercover mission.
The vice chairman of opulentia, i wonder if it's his real voice because it sounds like one of those voices you hear when taking a TOEIC exam for example. It just threw me off. Also it looks like they asked him to speak very slowly and to articulate every word when talking in english. I don't know but it's weird. It doesn't sound natural is what I'm trying to say. If that's really how the man speaks, i would like to apologize.
Hwang geum ju's smile when she understood she shares the same goals as the opulentia vc. She finally found someone of "elite" status who wants to do good and not just keep earning money and keeping it to themselves. And i think that's a very beautiful thing to see that she's no longer alone in her quest to make the world a better place. She really found someone she wants to associate herself with.
Cute! They're now officially a team.
Hee sik using any excuse to be with nam soon. We know what you're trying to do. I just appreciate all the little details the show gives us to drop hints that they're going to be a couple by the end of the drama.
Talking about hwang geum dong, they chose the perfect actor to play him because he has this tired look on his face already and he mastered the art of using it to his advantage.
Ever since she literally fell on top of hee sik, nam soon's heart doesn't have as much space for her kpop idols. Accurate representation of kpop stans when they get a real life partner lmao
