more twin swap au stuff...
i really don't think seven would have stopped at the tattoos. i think he'd get piercings too...
i thought it would be funny if vanderwood was still saeran's assistant but instead of getting annoyed by the lack of cleanliness, he gets annoyed because saeran intentionally likes to get things about him just for giggles

in the tags of my saeyoung!wwx fanart, somebody asked: #does he have an evil twin
now, i'm not implying that yllz is evil — but it did make me stop and wonder how a yllz-saeran aesthetic fusion might look like 👀
(ngl i feel like this could pass as a sleep-deprived goth wwx LOL)

Happy birthday, Saeran 🩷
My part of the Mysmes Choose Your Artist challenge! Check out the full video here 🤩
This time, the project's focus was the Choi twins' bday, and the theme was school ✨️So I decided to go for an AU where Saeran and Jinae are going to the same school, maybe the same class even 👀
It's a bit rushed, but still was fun to work on 🫶

Mixed! Messenger AU
I came up with a Mystic Messenger AU! I have no idea if this already exists lol It's sort of a role-swap for the characters, but based on mixing the duos/trios, mostly (but not completely) based on story grouping. Here's the list of who is swapped with who:
MC swapped with Rika
Jumin swapped with Seven
V swapped with Saeran
Yoosung swapped with Zen
Jaehee swapped with Vanderwood
It's still an AU-in-progress, so it still needs some things fleshed-out, but here's some random things I thought about for each character: Yoosung: - a new, young voice actor - still very cute - has voiced characters in (usually indie) videogames primarily - wants to work on bigger games, but spends too much time gaming when he should be applying for bigger voice acting positions Zen: - college student who changed his major several times and failed a bunch of classes, but still doing his best - still a narcissist - working several jobs to pay for his tuition because he refuses to accept financial help, wanting to earn it on his own - loves musicals!! (he'll one day realize his dream to be a musical actor, but he has yet to realize...) Vanderwood: - works for CEO-in-line, Saeyoung Choi, as his assistant (and maid) - constantly reminds Seven to take his job seriously - is very confused why Seven has so much money yet doesn't take care of his health (Seven still primarily eats honey buddha chips) - annoyed when Saeyoung calls them his housemaid when clearly they're his assistant Jaehee: - secret agent (and catsitter for Jumin) - overworked by the agency AND Jumin and needs a break - cat hair everywhere, send help - has to beg Jumin not to involve cats into his or their missions - still loves musicals! (not a fan of Zen as an actor tho since he's not an actor yet) - once sat next to Zen during a theatre showing, but never kept in contact (was in awe from his beauty, but knew she needed to keep her distance due to agency work) Jumin: - hacker and secret agent - still has Elizabeth the 3rd, and claims that her wisdom has helped him crack many codes and solved many missions - great at his job otherwise - still has the same personality as before, except hacker Seven: - CEO-in-line who works hard but also loves mischief! - definitely has produced some hilarious marketing campaigns - may or may not have made some secret loophole scams to snatch more money for his babies (his cars) - still wants to play with Elly - can actually afford to go to the moon V: - used to be best friends with Jumin before joining Gold Eye under MC - loves art, but doesn't have enough time to make any due to hacking and cult shenanigans - instead of a garden, Gold Eye has an art gallery where V likes to spend his time - will do anything for MC, even learning to hack and worshipping her every move Saeran: - leader of MC's Fundraising Association (MCFA) - specializes in floral photography and gardening - lives with his brother in a penthouse - has a large garden in their backyard with all sorts of flowers and plants - he and Saeyoung still grew up with that abusive mother, but, eventually they learned their dad (who isn't the prime minister in this) was rich, so they escaped, found him, and convinced him to let them live with him - loves MC and has been desperate to find her after she vanished Rika: - no, she is not getting the option to date like in the game; she's just there trying to fix everything and make everyone happy - never hosted a party in her life, but is determined to try - never dated V - struggles with mental illness and trauma, but is actively seeking therapy and is improving - joined MCFA after MC left (Yoosung recognized her immediately, but everyone else does not know her) MC: - cult leader of Gold Eye - obsessed with bringing MCFA into her cult as her harem - looooooves bad endings - didn't fake her own death, but did mysteriously cut contact one day and took V with her - the true mastermind in all this EVERYTHING IN THIS LIST IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!! I just thought this would be a fun AU concept idea lol I made this while sleep deprived lol I'm gonna go to sleep now

“Merry Christmas, boss!”
Your words startle Unknown from his work. For one thing, you're practically yelling, when you know that he requires silence to think well— it's as if everything he tells you goes in one ear and out the other. Moreover, he was by no means expecting you to try and celebrate that godforsaken holiday today. Unknown was elated— or as close to elated as he's ever going to get while that redhead is still breathing— when you chose not to bother him on Christmas morning. He should have known that you'd have something else up your sleeve. You truly never fail to annoy him.
“It's not Christmas anymore, prince(ss),” he reminds you in a syrupy tone. “You must be confused.” This would be warning enough for somebody with a normal set of self preservation instincts— sadly, you appear to possess very few of these, because you don’t seem remotely deterred.
“What?” You ask, sounding genuinely confused. ”How is it not Christmas? You took me on the eighteenth of March, right? And I've been counting  off every single day— it has been 282 days; I’m sure of it! So how is it not Christmas?”
Unknown turns around to face you now. He gets the feeling that he isn't going to get very much work done if you're planning to continue being noisy, and (although he'd never admit it aloud) this conversation is shaping up to be far more interesting than some numbers on a screen. “You must have messed it up,” he offers, unable to contain his glee at the idea. Serves you right, for trying to waste his time like this.
“No, you messed it up,” you pout. Unknown wonders what he’d have to do to instill a healthy fear of himself in you. “Because you took away my phone. If I still had it, I would just know the date without even having to make tally marks on a napkin, and—”
“Give me the napkin.” Unknown is going to nip this in the bud right now. If you don’t have anything to write on, then you won’t have any way to record the date, and you won’t try and ambush him with poorly-timed holiday celebrations. If you wanted to plan parties, then you should have just gone into that apartment in the first place— now that you’re with Unknown, you’re going to have to start playing by his rules. Although, if you haven’t figured that out after so many months by his side, he’s beginning to think that you’re a bit of a lost cause.
“And now you're taking my planner?” You regard him with wide eyes. “This is too cruel. How do you expect me to be productive when I don't know what day it is?” But there's this gleam in your eyes that tells him you're just playing around.
“You never knew what day it was, sweetheart,” he points out, “I got you on the nineteenth of March, so you’ve been counting wrong this whole time.” Unknown doesn't think he'll be forgetting that date any time soon. It would have been the day when his plan was set in motion, if you had only followed his instructions.
“Okay, fine, you can have it, since it's wrong anyway,” you grumble, “That's actually good, since I don't have any wrapping paper for your present. Two birds with one stone.” You pick up something you've left sitting on the couch and wrap the napkin— which is, indeed, covered with hundreds of pencil marks— around it before handing the entire parcel to Unknown.
“What is this?” He demands.
“Your Christmas gift,” you explain, suddenly serious. “I wanted to get you one of those 'world's greatest boss' mugs, but since somebody won't let me order anything online, I had to make you something instead. Open it.”
“You don't get to order me around,” he warns, “Try again.”
You roll your eyes before establishing yourself on his lap, where you should probably remain, if you had time to procure any kind of gift for him without his knowledge. Clearly, he hasn’t been keeping you under proper supervision. “We're doing this now? Really? Can’t we have a single normal conversation, just one time?” You pout at him. Apparently, Unknown's glare is the only answer you need to any of your sundry questions, because after a bit of grumbling, you seem to acquiesce. “Fine, fine. Could you please open it, please? Thank you.”
“Better,” Unknown decides. Truth be told, he is a little bit curious— he's never let you out of his sight for longer than a few minutes. How did you manage to put together a gift for him without his knowledge? Whatever it is feels solid and sturdy.  He pulls the hastily-crumpled napkin off of the item in question and holds it up to the light of his monitors to get a better look.
“It's a bracelet,” you explain, “I know you wear them, so I thought you'd like it better than anything else that I could make.”
Unknown turns the bracelet over in his hands. It consists of a series of interlocking brown and white squares, all of which are sharp and thick. Upon closer inspection, Unknown discovers nutrition information on one of the white squares. Is it made from candy wrappers? “You gave me garbage.” 
“Upcycled garbage, yes,” you nod enthusiastically. “I've been stealing your candy wrappers and washing the insides for months, you know. I was going to make you a whole jewelry set with a necklace and everything, but I didn't have time, since you're always watching me like a hawk. This is all I could manage.” 
Unknown has no fucking clue why you would waste your time on something like this. You had every opportunity to let the Yuletide pass unmarked, but instead, you spent weeks collecting trash, cleaning it, and folding it into an ugly piece of jewelry, just so you'd have something to give him. Seeing as he's never received anything for Christmas before, he doesn't know if the gifts are usually this underwhelming— but he does know what your intentions were. “Next time you want to get me something, you can just try being quiet.”
You grin, like you don't care how much he hates your gift. Like you don't expect any thanks for all the unnecessary work that you put into the stupid thing. Like you didn't do it for him to thank you— you did it because you wanted to brighten his day, even if you weren’t necessarily very successful. “Next time, tell me that before Christmas so that I can take it into account when I'm thinking of a gift.”
Unknown rolls his eyes at you and spins his chair around so that he's facing the screen again. This has been an interesting diversion, but he doesn't have the luxury of taking long breaks from the pursuit of his revenge. “I just told you. Won’t you remember?”
“No,” you grumble playfully, “Since now I don't have anywhere to write it down.”
Unknown shoves the crumpled napkin back into your hand. ”Merry Christmas, prince(ss),” he coos, patting you on the head. It’s a generous gift, all things considered— he was seriously planning on throwing that napkin away. 
“Gee, thanks.” You might sound sarcastic, but you still pocket the napkin, just as he thought you would. Thankfully, after this, you give him the peace and quiet that he needs to make some progress with his work.
It isn't until you're snoring softly across the room hours later, unwilling to be separated from Unknown even while you sleep, that he finds himself absently reaching for the bracelet as he works, running his fingers over the sharp edges and smooth tops of the interlocking squares. He'd never be caught dead wearing it— it's made of garbage, for fuck's sake— but Unknown will reluctantly admit (if only to himself) that he likes the feel of it. As far as first-ever Christmas presents go, he supposes that it isn't too terrible, though he'd never say as much to you.

"I wonder what kind of flower is that... It's so pretty!"
Natasha couldn't help but giggle as she saw Saeran's golden eyes widen in pure wonder. It seems like his insatiable curiosity would only grow with time. Or, rather, there was no more fear stopping his curiosity from coming through. "Hm, I don't know! How about we ask grandpa Alan? He knows all sorts of stuff! And, it is his garden after all."
Saeyoung looked up from the hefty astronomy encyclopedia he was engrossed in before, quickly jumping into conversation at the mention of the witty old man all three of them now collectively called their 'grandpa', by his own insistence, of course. "He knows all about stars, animals and flowers? Is there anything he doesn't know?"
"Well... Uh... I guess he doesn't know how to cook! Or maybe he just doesn't like it... But, I never saw him cook anything before." Natasha noted, tapping her chin in thought. Now that they were talking about this, she's pretty sure that grandpa Alan doesn't even own an oven. How weird is that? There's no greater joy than serving a delicious meal you made with your own two hands. At least, that's how it was for her.
"Still, this flower is strange... I never saw one with such bright colors." Saeran's voice was barely audible as he mumbled to no one in particular but himself, all of his attention focused solely on the oddly shaped flower swaying playfully in the wind, almost like it was finding his confusion endearing. He didn't even notice Natasha shuffling closer from the other corner of the tiny garden as she too now studied the aforementioned small plant. Looks like he was completely lost in his own little world. Not like her or Saeyoung minded that in any way. Both of them were happy to see the timid boy feel comfortable enough to indulge in his interests.
"...Maybe it's... magical?" The girl suggested, a silly little smile slowly making its way onto her face as she awaited for a response of some kind from the redheaded boy. It was unclear whether she was joking or not, but, judging by the way her fingers would occasionally drum against the sides of the plastic water can she held in her arms, this was her idea of playful banter. Though, Saeyoung was the only one that caught on her plans, snickering under his breath.
Her sense of humor was pretty odd.
Still, this was the perfect opportunity for something he was planning on doing for a while now. Reaching stealthily into the small backpack laying haphazardly to the side, he pulled out a small polaroid camera he snuck in from the thrift store all three of them visited about a week ago. He's been tinkering away at it for days now, determined to make it work again, no matter how long it'll take him. And so, lifting the fragile little camera into his hands, he snapped a picture of Saeran and Natasha, quickly making them both turn their heads to the sudden shutter sound.
"Hyun? Is that a... camera?" Saeran blinked, obviously a bit confused by what just happened. Though, his older twin was far too giddy by the mere fact of it finally working as he saw a small picture starting to print out. So he did fix it!
"Yeah! The one I found back in the thrift shop, remember?" Saeyoung's grin was practically reaching his ears now as he glanced up at his closest friends, eager to see their respective reactions.
"I thought it was broken!" Natasha exclaimed, her eyes growing wide.
A rather smug look crossed over Saeyoung's freckled features as he fixed his glasses in a sophisticated manner before giving out a reply. "It was broken, but I fixed it! Look, it even prints out pictures as soon as you take them. It's called a polaroid camera. Now we have something for us to look back on in the future when we're all grown up!"
He was obviously feeling quite proud of his achievement, showing off the printed picture once it was done. It was only when all three of them looked at the image more closely did they notice a small bird perched up proudly right on the top of Natasha's head. How long was it sitting there? Either way, it made both of the twins giggle as she quickly got all embarrassed over not noticing such an odd thing before.
It was an afternoon filled with laughs and smiles.
----
"Is this...?"
Natasha mumbled, carefully lifting up a worn out photo she recognized as soon as she saw it, tucked in the corner of a fairytale book. It was a bit crumbled and scratched in some places, but it was obvious that it took a lot of care and patience to keep it in such a relatively good condition.
Saeyoung's eyes widened as soon as he saw her holding the book in one hand and the photo in another. No words were needed as they stared back at one another. This was a moment from the past neither of these former childhood friends ever forgot. And, seeing it like this... was the perfect proof of him genuinely caring for Saeran, regardless of what the 'Savior' has told him.
Natasha swallowed dryly, her hands trembling as she carefully placed the book onto the nearest table. Her voice was barely above a whisper.
"...You never forgot about us, isn't that right?"

this is such a niche concept but CHOI TWINS ROYALTY AU !!!!!!!!!!
i haven’t fully fleshed it out but like i picture mother choi to be long gone by now— saejoong has absolute power and uses saeyoung and saeran as a political tool to maintain his image as a father and family man
the twins fear their father— it’s not dethronement or exile that scares them, but execution; they know the power he has to get rid of them and make it look like an accident more than anyone
i mostly thought of this for the indulgent stuff tho: saeyoung and saeran all dressed up in fancy prince clothing ❤️❤️
saeran (or saeyoung!) falls in love with one of the servants who takes care of the garden
idk what fandom opinion is on their sexualities but saeyoung is bi and i like to headcanon that saeran is gay (or at least mlm) which adds another struggle and layer of control over their lives: they know for a fact that (in whatever time period they’re in) that they wouldn’t be widely accepted, and saejoong would never allow the public to believe he’d carry the shame of having a gay son, let alone two
but i like to imagine they get the help of their gardener mc (and maybe meet the rfa individually on the way) and run away and live in a cute cozy cabin on the outskirts of town 🫶

An Au where Saeran living a life like how Saeyoung expected him to have...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've been considering an Au in which Saeran lives a regular life, considerably superior to Saeyoung if he hadn't been taken by the Mint Eyes in the first place. In this Au, Saeyoung still went to the agency to work as an informant and hide from his father, leaving Saeran in the care of V and Rika as promised. Rika is a stable mental person in a relationship with V, and they would help Saeran achieve a proper life by ensuring he received the necessary education. Saeran is a bright student who is constantly at the top of his class. Because of his gentle and reassuring attitude, he has many friends and crushes. He was enrolled in college, studying in a major he enjoys, and making everything that we wants.
But his heart would wrench in sorrow at times because he still missed Saeyoung as much as he used to, and he wondered how his twin was doing or if he was still alive. When he missed him, he would keep a diary about Saeyoung and constantly prayed that he was safe.
Being apart from Saeran has never been easy for Saeyoung, so he begged Rika to tell him how he was doing, and Rika provided Saeyoung a photo of Saeran from a high school graduation ceremony. Saeyoung was delighted and sobbing because he knew Saeran was fine and that God had answered his prayer, even if he was still living in hidden. But Saeyoung didn't mind; as long as happiness finds Saeran, he'll be satisfied. But, as grateful as he is, he still wishes and hopes that he can reach Saeran even once. So he had been stalking Saeran from afar, smiling as he observed him, but he didn't dare to get too close because it could affect Saeran because he isn't meant to have a family at his agency.
Saeyoung would often leave a present on Saeran's doorstep without revealing who sent it, along with a note congratulating him. Saeran had no idea who was sending the gifts over the past few days and couldn't think of anyone. Saeyoung, as greedy as he has become and wanting to meet his long-lost brother, hacks into Saeran's laptop and leaves a clue of an address, password, and other information on his screen without revealing who he will be meeting. Saeran hesitated since it sounded unsafe, but his heart kept encouraging him to go for it because he had a feeling it would be something "huge" and this was the only chance he had.
Saeyoung had been waiting, fidgeting his fingers anxiously and about to break down in tears. He knew it was a risky move, but he missed Saeran so much that he was prepared to sacrifice. He sprang out of his chair as soon as his door opened, and his heart fell.
.
That couldn't be right, could it? Is that Saeran standing behind me?
.
Saeran was genuinely surprised the moment he turned his body back toward Saeran, and in seconds he wraps his arms around Saeyoung, he couldn't believe his eyes or this moment, because Saeyoung is in his arms, alive and breathing, and Saeran missed him so much, he couldn't breathe properly, with tears, just being thankful that his brother that he longed for is now in front of him.
Saeyoung couldn't stop crying as he returned the hug and apologised to Saeran for not telling him ahead of time and how difficult it was for him to leave his brother. Saeran shook his head, understanding that Saeyoung's intention is for his welfare, and he realised that Saeyoung sacrificed his happiness for Saeran's sake.
I'm dying to see this Au. Saeran would not leave Saeyoung with his agency, so he is doing everything he can to assist him, because he wants to live with his brother as they promised. In this Au, we may have his father after them, so they can work together to finally finish his father one and for all, and finally, finally they can live together. This is just a rough idea so, haha.

How *would* Suit Saeran react to Ray’s assistant?
Well, right off the bat, I need to talk about Suit Saeran as we know him in Ray Route. He wakes up in the basement, alone, sick, and he can feel the waves of elixir in the back of his throat. Ray was tortured for hours because he turned against Mint Eye. He kissed you, lied to his Savior, and debated if he could run away from this place and live as a free man without fear with you.
He risked everything and now he has paid the ultimate price. So, the pain Saeran feels at that moment is anger and despair. He knows the Savior won't hesitate to punish them again for this. He knows what's supposed to happen next, and he takes on the role of a monster with every intention of destroying everything that could risk his safety or Ray's.
That's because Suit Saeran acts with the intention of surviving in hellfire. No matter what it takes to survive, he will do it. Even if he becomes a monster in the process. His actions were a manifestation of trying to be everyone who hurt him, and even then, he couldn't truly become the people who hurt him.
He donned a suit too big for him like his father to feel like a monster and he tried to do what his mother did by holding back food for a day while you were trapped in a room. He tried to recreate what hurt him, thinking that was the only way, spurred on by what he'd learned from Rika, and knowing what happened to Ray for fighting it. He had to be strong in the right way. In Mint Eye, being strong means owning your demons and becoming them.
To stay alive... to keep Ray from being erased... to maintain your life in that room... he became a monster. Make no mistake, he is lost when he wakes up because nothing makes sense to him. Ray was willing to drop everything for you. He shunned the safety of Magenta and let a dream of something they can never have take control of him. Why in the world would he do that?
Why would he risk everything for some... nobody like you?
Suit Saeran is trying to be a monster. He is trying to scare everyone away. He is trying to break everything so he doesn't get hurt again. If he lashes out and proves his demons are strong, he'll survive. That's what he was taught. Rika instilled the fear of God into him by warning him that he needs to destroy to survive, and that's that.
Yet, at his core, this is a character that is bouncing between hurt and misguided "protection." He acts with the goal of beating people down so they don't fight back. Stop fighting, his mind wants to say, you'll... end up in the basement. They'll destroy you. Stop it. Submit. Give it up and let go. There's no winning here. You will lose. Just accept that Mint Eye is the only place for us. It's this or nothing. I either suffer in this place for crumbs of happiness or I leave this place and my father kills me.
He acts out of malice because there is no other way to survive or get by in Mint Eye. He has to be strong, in this way to get out. Add that on top of him not understanding you as a person, feeling angry that you and Ray caused him and suffering, and worse… how you won't break or crumble from the torture, and that you don't even hate him for doing horrible things in the end...
It's like he wants to self-destruct just to make it all end. "Scrub my head clean. I don't want to exist anymore," is what he says when the realization of what he's done and what's been done to him is finally starting to set in.
So, changing direction, what does it mean when Suit Saeran doesn't have the ability to wake up in the basement? What happens when he wakes up in a different situation? V's BE1 makes it clear that Saeran is interested in you... he's just lingering beyond the surface, and he does want to have you just like Ray does. Do you want that? Ray lets you in on that "secret" because he knows that Saeran will surface eventually and corner you.
Not that he minds.
If he and Saeran are on the same page, that's fine by him. Rika said you belong to them now. You belong to Ray, which means you belong to Saeran, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, I'm going to show you the two phone calls you're allowed to get with Suit Saeran in V Route. You get these during the brief period in that route when Ray has overwhelmed himself from despair and his fear of losing you. Ray gets what he always wanted, he got a chance to torture V for hurting him, but it doesn't do what Ray thought. The torture feels good for a while... until it doesn't.
He hesitated in the middle of the cleansing. Then, you were taken away from him. Those two things together were enough to break Ray's constitution. He lost the one person he always wanted to be close to and making V pay for everything he did didn't feel as good as he wanted it to. In fact, it felt bad in the end. He couldn't take it. His mind just couldn't accept what happened. In his influx of emotions, he shut down and Suit Saeran woke up.
His words tell us about what he thinks of you in this context. In this world where he didn't wake up with hatred directed towards you or Ray's kiss. So, what do I think he thinks of Ray's Assistant when I've been granted insight into this perspective?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you ask me, you are a curiosity. You are something he doesn't understand. It's not that he understands you in the context of most situations, but in this specific moment, it can be said that he doesn't understand why you are so fascinating in the first place.
What is it about you that makes Ray so infatuated? What makes you feel good in the first place? He wants to know what makes you tick... so, you'll make him tick.
It's no different than him seeing you as a toy to play around with. I often make this allegory a lot where I point out that Suit Saeran sees you as a toy, and that is something that can be replaced or played roughly with because it's just a toy. Ray, on the other hand, thinks of you like a porcelain doll. It's something you take extra special care of and place on a shelf so you can admire it for ages.
It's a bout of objectification but it's used in opposing ways if that makes sense. You are a possession in many ways but the way that they treat you is contradictory. Yet, it is so similar at the same time. It's two sides of the same coin, and why you shouldn't let your guard down around either of them when it comes to Bad Endings. There is always going to be a threat that you need to watch out for.
When I think about him in this situation where you are an assistant and nothing more, the only thing I can imagine is that you are going to be used as a stress ball. He can corner you and push you around all because you're stuck with him and there's nobody else to go. It's obvious that he wants to push somebody around and torment them for the sake of doing it.
Oh, it's not like he hates you or anything, he just wants to see what will make you break down and cry. There is a difference between the hate he has in the other route and what he would feel in the context of this situation. He wants to break you apart and see what makes it hurt. He wants to see you squirm... for fun!
He wants to have "fun" with you.
You decide what that means.
This is about being able to have something so nobody else can have it. That's why he wants to make sure you understand that he's going to take you and you're going to enjoy it.
You're going to enjoy it because he's going to enjoy it.
Don't you want to know all of the things Ray thought about? Don't you want to know all of the things he's thought about? Don't you just want to get to experience everything the two of them have thought about doing to you? Don't you want to do it with them? Doesn't your silly little head want something good? Don't you want to know all of those fantasies?
Well, it's too bad if you don't want to know everything, you're going to find out because he doesn't intend on letting you get away. If I had to say that Ray and his assistant would have an unhealthy situation with dependency and infatuation... I would say that Suit Saeran would give you something suffocating and dangerous because he might go way too far... further than Ray would go... at least, further than Ray will go before he's comfortable with you.
