sometimes we just need someone to pay enough attention.

for the longest time i had been trying to read The Lord of The Rings. everyone had sung the praises for it, over and over. i'd seen clips of the movie and it seemed like it could be fun, but actually reading it was fucking horrible.

my parents had the omnibus - all the books squished into one big tome - and in the 4th grade i started sort of an annual tradition: i would start trying to read TLR and get frustrated after about a month and put it back down. at first i figured i was just too young for it, and that it would eventually make sense.

but every time i came back to it, i would find myself having the exact same experience: it was confusing, weird, and dry as a fucking bone. i couldn't figure it out. how had everyone else on earth read this book and enjoyed it? how had they made movies out of this thing? it was, like, barely coherent. i would see it on "classics" list and on every fantasy/sci-fi list and everyone said i should read it; but i figured that it was like my opinion of great expectations - just because it's a classic doesn't mean i'm going to like experiencing it.

at 20, i began the process of forcing myself through it. if i had to treat the experience like a self-inflicted textbook, i would - but i was going to read it.

my mom came across me taking notes at our kitchen table. i was on the last few pages of the first book in the omnibus, and i was dreading moving on to the next. she smiled down at me. only you would take notes on creative writing. then she sat down and her brow wrinkled. wait. why are you taking notes on this?

i said the thing i always said - it's boring, and i forget what's happening in it because it's so weird, and dense. and strange.

she nodded a little, and started to stand up. and then sat back down and said - wait, will you show me the book?

i was happy to hand it over, annoyed with the fact i'd barely made a dent in the monster of a thing. she pulled it to herself, pushing her glasses up so she could read the tiny writing. for a moment, she was silent, and then she let out a cackle. she wouldn't stop laughing. oh my god. i cannot wait to tell your father.

i was immediately defensive. okay, maybe i'm stupid but i've been trying to read this since the 4th grade and -

she shook her head. raquel, this is the Silmarillion. you've been reading the Silmarillion, not the lord of the rings.

anyway, it turns out that the hobbit and lord of the rings series are all super good and i understand why they're recommended reading. but good lord (of the rings), i wish somebody had just asked - wait. this kind of thing is right up your alley. you love fantasy. it sounds like something might be wrong. why do you think it's so boring?

#thanks for reminding me this happened #writeblr #warm up #i don't think this story translates well to the page #IRONIC!!!! :)#but yeah man i read the Silmarillion before i read the hobbit #the omnibus didn't explain what it was and i figured - you start at the beginning and then you read from the beginning #that's how books work #how was i supposed to know #EDIT IN THE TAGS: hi i think i worded this in a confusing way #the omnibus had ALL the stories in it - the silm #the hobbit #and all of LOTR #they just put the silm in the front so i thought logically it was the first book #that's how an omnibus usually works after all - the first book in the series is the first book in the tome #to be fair i GUESS the silm takes place “before” the hobbit????

I cannot stop thinking about Eddie calling you nicknames. Not even just the regular ones, like baby, honey, sweetheart, baby cakes, though those ones still make your heart race. Imagine the day he figures out you like other nicknames. And once he figures out one, he’s testing them all to see which one gets him the biggest response.

Imagine being at school, you’re sitting next to him in class and suddenly your teacher is calling on you to answer a question. You’re always fast to clam up when you’re called on but luckily this time you really did know the answer to whatever the teacher was asking. You give a clear, straight answer and your teacher commends you on your work, “Good work, y/n” and you just hear next to you, barely above a whisper “that’s my good girl”. You’re sure that you’re more red than a tomato.

Imagine you’re at hellfire club with everyone and you’re getting hyped up before a session and he is just sitting there in his chair, looking at you with big, bright eyes, noting how excited you seemed. When you take your seat next to him, he just comments “seems like my doll is ready to play. Let’s get started.” Again, you’re a mess and a half, red as can be but you’re still able to control yourself a bit.

The last straw is over the weekend, at a party at Steve’s with everyone around and you wish you could crawl into a hole when it happens. You’re having a great time, you’re chatting with the crew, Robin is sharing stories about this guy that came into the store today and was recommending the worst movies to her as though he had any taste. Everything was going really smoothly and then, Eddie comes over. He slides right next to you on the floor that you had been sat at in the circle. He’s laughing at something Robin said, placing a hand on your thigh and rubbing comforting circles to show his presence. He smells like weed, alcohol, and his cologne and you’re already gone. Then, knowing exactly what he’s doing, he just leans into your ear like he’s telling a secret - “hiya bunny, how’s my sweet baby doing?” and you all but whimper. Bunny. You don’t know why that’s gotten the reaction it did but you immediately regret it the moment it slipped. The music felt like it went quiet and you felt like you had multiple pairs of eyes on you. Eddie’s eyes look like a lightbulb just went off behind them.

“Ohhh what’s this, bunny? Do you like being called that?”

It’s the alcohol. Definitely the alcohol. It couldn’t possibly-

“Awe what’s wrong bunny? You embarrassed? Don’t be. This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. You’re so good to me, bunny, letting me know something like this”

You absent-mindedly are clenching and rubbing your thighs under his touch while he’s chuckling low and you wish you were anywhere else right now. You had been avoiding eye contact this entire time until he took your chin and jaw in your hand and with a gentle but firm touch, he turned your head towards him

“Just say the word, and we can get out of here baby. I’ll treat you like a good little bunny too. All you have to do is look at me in the eye, and say so.”

Before you can even respond, Robin let’s out a long sigh and groan “guys, come on, either get a room or get a clue”. You decide at this moment to finally look at Eddie. His eyes have a smirk behind them and you’re swimming in chocolate.

“Well sweetheart? What do you say?”

“i thought…” you weren’t sweetheart right now, you wanted the other name again. You needed to hear him say it again.

He lifts your chin up again to look at him, firmly

“Speak up, Princess? What do you want to do?”

“I want to be a good bunny-“ he’d be pulling you out the door in a spilt second and you know it.

I just- I want to be called names like that by this man so badly. And you KNOW he would.

xavier thinks you're cruel when you smile. everything about you is different, to the point where it feels like you're just a whole different person sharing the same face as the woman he knew. but then, when he met you as a lightseeker, he'd thought the same thing, that you were nothing like his best friend who didn't have any grand dreams of becoming a grandis knight, and only thought of living today to the fullest because she knew she would not see tomorrow. and then he'd fallen for the woman sacrificing her blood, sweat and tears just so that she could be claimed as his. and as predicted, he's fallen for you for the third time now, and he realizes that your personality could change a million times over a million lives, and he will love you more and more each time he meets you. because no matter what you do and no matter what you are trying to be, your smile blinds him each and every time. and that is what he finds cruel, because it must be cruel to make him fall for that smile again and again and again, and surely there is a limit to how many people one man can fall in love with. perhaps he's the exception, or perhaps it doesn't count because you are still one person. either way, it is torture, torture in its sweetest form that he could never hate you for, because you are not actually cruel, you are far kinder than he deserves.

"mister deepspace hunter," you sing, poking his cheek with a chicken plushie, "you can't sleep, we've only seen two movies."

"how many more are there?"

"three more in this series, and then we start the next fantasy series."

"you're insane," he says sweetly, burrowing further under your favorite blanket.

with a giggle, you lay your head down on his lap, hair splayed out on what he deems is your rightful pillow. "it's not a movie night if we don't stay up the whole night."

he's about to tell you that both of you need sleep, that it's not healthy to stay up this late or to pull all-nighters, but then he gazes down to where you're grinning up at him, and his heart stops for a second, because you are so, so, so beautiful, and he's gone.

sleep can wait another day.

zayne thinks you're cruel when you speak. you are reserved around him, and while he never thinks you should limit yourself, least of all on his behalf, maybe this is the most merciful path you can take. because once you do start speaking, once you place your hand over his across whichever table at whichever restaurant to go off on an excited ramble about your latest endeavor, everything else fades way. and it is cruel, to make him lose control all of all senses aside from sound. it is cruel to metaphorically force him on his knees to bend and dance to the sound of your voice and your voice alone. it leaves him vulnerable, to pain, to betrayal, to any and every harmful thing that could possibly be surrounding him, when he cannot observe, when he cannot fight, when he cannot be, while you are speaking. when every individual word you speak has its own unique significance, and he would not be able to kill anyone who interrupts you because he would not even realize it happened, too entranced by the spell you cast. he is not his own in those moments, he only belongs to you. and thankfully, nothing does befall him, because you are not actually cruel, you are far kinder than he deserves.

"what do you think?"

he pauses, hand in yours as the two of you walk, blinking at you a few times. "what do i think?"

"yeah, you, doctor," you tease, squeezing his fingers. "what do you think? i've been talking your head off for five minutes."

he is not jarred because he hadn't been paying attention, on the contrary he'd been hanging off your every word. his opinion simply does not matter as much in his eyes.

"i agree with you," he says, enjoying the way you beam at his concurrence, "but what did you think about the other article?"

predictably, you take the bait and launch into another long rant, and he wills this topic to last forever.

rafayel thinks you're cruel when you sleep. so, so soundly you sleep, sometimes in his own bed because he offers it to you like a fool. you look beautiful when you sleep, which is half the problem, and he knows that it is all sorts of wrong to find you beautiful when he's also paralyzed because of how similar your appearance is to death. from a distance, he could never tell the difference. it is only when he is next to you, holding your slack wrist in his hands, that he can breathe easier by pressing his fingers to your pulse. and he is terrified that one day he won't feel it, because it has happened before. one moment you were there, alive and well and his, and the next you were in his arms, lifeless and limp and somehow still beautiful. so there is no way for him to calm his racing heart when he sees you asleep, and the reason it's cruel is because he knows he cannot disturb you. not you, who works so hard and needs your sleep more than anyone else. he cannot ask you to sit up and breathe and laugh and show him that you're still alive. even though he knows you would should he ask, because you are not actually cruel, you are far kinder than he deserves.

"hmm." your eyes are bleary as they blink awake, hardly aware of where you are.

he slides his arms around you from behind, hiding his face in your neck. "you can go back to sleep, was just making sure you were still alive."

a quiet huff escapes you, clearly annoyed at being woken up for such a ludicrous reason. "don't be annoying."

he wasn't trying to be, this time. "okay," he whispers, "sorry."

you turn all of a sudden, shifting in his arms until you're facing him, with a light glare. another apology is on his lips when you crossly tell him, "i was kidding. you're not annoying."

"i can be. sometimes," he admits softly.

"no." you press a deep kiss to his lips, and he understands now why some humans would rather choose to drown under the sea instead of going back to the surface. "you're not annoying. you're never annoying. i love you. okay?"

his voice is choked the next time he speaks, with your face hidden in his neck, soft puffs of air on his neck letting him know that you're still breathing. a tear runs down his cheek.

"okay."

nct dream as… / fanfiction aus 𓈒✳︎🏡

[take the quiz here to see which one you get!]

✰ MARK — childhood friends to lovers!au

ever since you've basically known your name, mark has been the boy next door. there was the cheeky, red letters of "lee" painted on the mailbox, the windows were adorned with the same coloured curtains, and the same doormat has been sitting in front of their door for ages. you have loved mark ever since you two have met. there wasn't a day where you wouldn't think of him, and there hasn't been a day when you haven't loved him. it was like a vicious circle which you couldn't get out of, because those stupid feelings would destroy the oh so precious friendship of yours, and you cannot let that happen, right? i mean, that's what you've thought for far too long, since this friendship meant more to you, than the fragile feeling of love - you didn't want it to get to the point where you would rather spit on each other, than talk it out. maybe that's why you pushed him away from yourself? maybe you just did that because you weren't too sure of your own peace of mind? no matter what, you knew the decision itself was wrong, only to realize it way too late. damaging the friendship and crying yourself to sleep was all your fault, after all, being way too proud and scared, stupid even; when you came back to the town where you two grew up, the least thing you wanted was to meet mark lee, mainly because you wouldn't have been able to look him in the eyes after all these happened. but you had to, so soon you even got a little surprised. it's been a while since the last time you have been home, your bedroom seemed way too unfamiliar at that point, just like the vhs tape placed directly in the middle of your bed. one which you haven't seen yet. it didn't have a title, the white label completely empty as you picked it up. you were a little bit cautious when placing it in the system, waiting for it to play whatever is on it, not having such large imagination to expect anything. it was a home video montage, full of videos of you and mark: playing together, getting ready for the first day of school, going to the movies, the way you two got engaged in middle school as a joke, and the omnious day of prom... you got teary eyed, with one thing on your mind - you have to go and save whatever's left now. maybe you're not too late.

✰ RENJUN — soulmate!au

life had been pretty much grey and dreary until you found The One. the other half everyone had been so obsessed to find. you were never big on all this stuff, because you were convinced you'd be able to live as a single half for you whole life, and don't need anyone else to feel complete. deep inside you knew that all of this is bullshit, truly, and all that was coming out of you was true bitterness and constantly ongoing unsuccessful confessions, making you believe in your delusions. with every passing second, you had to see people find their other half, while you were left to deal with the grey world you were left in, not as a choice but as fate instead. you felt like a loser, a big zero, who doesn't even deserve a soulmate. you thought you were destined to die alone, maybe compensate with something of brilliance: be a composer or a singer, write or paint something extraordinary, lord knows what, just something of importance! you were looking for yourself in every corner of the world, not for a lover or a fling, not for an other half, fully ignoring the law of attraction. it might have been some reverse psychological trick, effecting it all. and this may have been the reason behind why you had to leave that horribly boring theatre play, sneaking out and bumping into The One, who handed back your accidentally dropped bag, slowly looking into your eyes. he might have worked at the theater as he was wearing a name tag on his elegant shirt - huang renjun, it said. but it doesn't even matter, because his eyes were brown! brown! not grey, brown! everything cleared up. you did find the half - with brown eyes and a smile so bright.

✰ JENO — coffee shop!au

it was pretty much bittersweet to step foot in your favourite café: it was getting dark out there, and although the rain has stopped pouring, you got absolutley soaked to the core along the way there, rain replacing the tears on your face by then. your hair was sticking to your forehead uncomfortably, your body trembling without stopping, as you entered. the bell placed above the entrance was ringing lightly, gathering everyone's attention to you, although there wasn't too much people there except for the baristas, maybe two wandering souls, working on their laptops or reading in a cozy corner. well, maybe if it wasn't for getting dumped literal minutes ago, you wouldn't be here either, but it was still the most reasonable choice compared to going to a club or a ruin bar, gettig incredibly drunk, Plus! a good espresso might be able to clear the fog in your head, which you were in need of during this stupidly stressing period of life. you expected hyuck to greet you by the coffee machine, grinning ear to ear, as he always does when you visit between two lectures, but there was a completely new face behind the counter. it's been a long time since you've last seen a new employee here. his smile was sweet and rather warm, eyes conveying a sense of concern as you took one step closer, rubbing your eyes while getting your purse out of your pocket - you discreetly looked at his name tag, right on his black apron: lee jeno. whatta name... by then, you were way to hopeless to try and guess how the day would go, but life had to surprise you, fate deciding funnily against all odds: next to your cup of coffee, there was a napkin, hiding a telephone number on it, messily written down with a short message as well: "would you go out on a date with me, darling? :)"

✰ HAECHAN — rivals to lovers!au

lee donghyuck's name rushed through the hallways of your music academy just as quietly as a whisper, and you never knew why was it all like that ever since you've stepped foot into the school. you couldn't even hide the way too obvious rolls of your eyes every time you heard it. lee donghyuck was one of the biggest prodigies at the academy, no one could even be considered as a rival for him, this is mainly why he was such a big living legend amongst the students - you couldn't even hide how annoyed this made you, especially because he made sure you knew this ever since you two were little. music played a huge part in both of your lives, and somehow, you two always seemed to be at each other's throat, the first place at being the best always changing between the two of you. you could never get rid of each other either; your dad, always being so positive, once said, on your way to the academy sometime between sophomore and junior year, that the only reason behind this is that you two are equally good at what you're doing. you were pretty much skeptic for the longest of time, and felt as if you were destined to be the forever second next to him. you've had enough of always bumping into walls, since hyuck was the one who could stand at the first place ever so proudly. in kindergarten, in middle school, and even in high school, every. god damn. time. and that infuriating smile was plastered all upon his face even when you two were asked to not perform alone on the annual charity gala of your academy - you two had to perform something phenomenal, putting the childish jarring aside, growing out of the silly phase of hating each other, which was all made up by you, and you only, pushing the poor boy away from you. the boy who had always been so obsessed with you, utterly and completely. he won this time again, isn't it right?

✰ JAEMIN — photographer!au

when jaemin brought up the idea of making the last parts of his portfolio with you (which basically means about you), you were a little bit skeptic at first. you loved jaemin dearly, since he was a really understanding friend, but... you were simply terrified of cameras. you didn't really like the idea of being captured at all, you hated looking back at yourself on pictures taken of you, and you couldn't even think about how high quality his pictures would be with that hyper super machine, focused on all the little flawed details of your face that you absolutely despised. no, you couldn't even bear the idea of this whole project, and you stood by this decision of yours, jaemin waiting patiently the whole time, not pushing it too hard. since he wanted to work with you no matter what, giving up on his plan wouldn't be too typical of him - the fight didn't last long but it was pretty heated, him highlighting so many known things that needed to be said finally: it's childish how you reflect on yourself, and your delusions stop you from way too many things. the way he said straight into your face how beautiful he thinks you are, inside and outside, and that he wants the whole world to know how ethereal you are, made you tear up a little - especially when he said his heart breaks every time you speak so lowly of yourself. he truly thinks you're the modern manifestation of aphrodite, that you are his own venus, the muse of him, someone he can adore... that he's way too in love with you to let go of this, and-; the kiss you gave him was short, yet gave him exact answers. answers to hundreds and thousand of unsaid questions he kept hidden in himself for years and years on end.

✰ CHENLE — blind date!au

you clearly didn’t brace yourself for this whole fiasco proposed by donghyuck himself, foolishly believing his reasonings behind how perfect of a matchmaker he is. of course you knew that what he way saying was partly stupid, plus you were like a seventy percent sure he wasn't even sober when he set up a blind date during that omnious frat party he wasn't invited to. you didn't have to worry or anything, that's just how you were - overly anxious of such things, even if you weren't meeting a psychopath. you were only a bit vary of the awkwardness this whole new experience would bring, both of you rushing home way too soon from the date, trying to forget about it as soon as possible. these misconceptions about how the night would go stayed straight until you stopped in front of the restaurant to wait for your - then late already - date. you were a little nervous he stood you up, and you got yourself into the most beautiful piece of clothing from you wardrobe for nothing, but it was worth it, looking back at it, as zhong chenle arrived and you two simply just... clicked? automatically? not to mention you two decided to leave the place after the hors d'oeuvre, since you both found the place a little too fancy at that moment, going to a simple ice cream parlor instead, taking a walk in the park after, talking about anything and everything that came to mind: family, politics, movies and the most embarrassing memories from your childhood came up too, as you couldn't help but laugh at how chenle dropped his ice cream cone on the ground, while he simultaneously promised you that he wouldn't drop the cone on the next date - and you smiled, so happily.

✰ JISUNG — secret admirer!au

you were head over heels for jisung and his undying love for dancing. but, thinking a bit deeper about it, while writing that foolish, teenager like love letter for him, forced into the role of his secret admirer, there were much more of those things that made you feel head over heels for the boy: he showed you what persistence was, he spent the whole of his youth with you, and he wasn't afraid to spend the rest of his life with you, helping you out anytime you're in need of it, since he couldn't not do that as you "best friend". he couldn't be evil with you, he was never able to leave you and he couldn't even envision a future in which you weren't by his side. but the border he made up between the two of you, was never crossed - you two were friends, not more, not less. you were so torn deep inside, as you were helpless, being in the never ending limbo you would rather push forward, but he kept on tugging it backwards; the idea of writing letters was originally from your mother, who had enough of your obvious agony. she was positive you would write every feeling of yours out, making it easier as time goes by. their number kept growing, however, one letter becoming a dozen soon enough, maybe even more in the meantime, while not writing a name on any of them, referring to yourself only as a mere secret admirer. they suddenly disappeared from the bottom of your drawer one day, though, realizing way too late that the ringing phone in your pocket was in fact park jisung, the picture of him taking up the screen of your mobile - did he know?

You don't need to worry about the ATSV fandom dying. As someone whose been in the Marvel fandom over ten years - I can assure you this is natural.

The ATSV Fandom Isn't Dead: A brief look into the science of fandoms.

[me standing beside Hobie beaming my thoughts of love and adoration into his head like I'm professor x]

A lot of people are afraid of the ATSV dying - and I don't blame them.

In the era of shows releasing all in one day, or movies coming to streaming almost immediately - it's not hard to say we're in an era were content is consumed at ridiculously rapid rates.

I mean, this time last year Wednesday was breaking records on Netflix. Where's the hype now?

I know you see it too, there's less posts everyday in the Hobie tag, less screenshot breakdowns, etc etc etc.

But I'm here to tell you - The ATSV fandom is doing just fine. Better than fine. All of this is meant to happen.

Let me put it into perspective.

ATSV released on June 2nd - it's November.

ATSV released a little over six months ago.

For reference: The Avengers (2012) was released on May 4th.

The Avengers DVD wasn't available for purchase until SEPTEMBER 25th - almost SIX months later.

The time that the Hobie fandom has formed and existed - is the same amount of time people had to wait just to see The Avengers again.

Large periods of time where tags only get three posts a day TOPS was nothing to fear. xReaders and fanfics held the fandom over until the next trailer, the next sneak peek or leak.

Prior to the release of streaming, only a little more than ten years ago - it was NATURAL for a fandom to wait six months before even seeing the movie for a second time.

And mind you - streaming didn't exist. If you wanted to see The Avengers again, you had to go out and BUY it. $26.99.

If you wanted to order it online - you'd have to get it shipped to you. Before Disney plus, we watched on BlueRay Discs.

And the fandom was fine and healthy.

If a fandom that doesn't even have a DVD release can keep up content for six months, I think we'll be fine.

But I'll admit - there's still the question:

If the ATSV fandom is 'doing fine' then where is everyone going? Why are the tags getting slower?

The answer is simple:

FANDOM BIOLOGY

I LOVE social sciences and the systems people create and how they work - even unintentionally.

And I have a theory - one about the natural evolution and regeneration of fandom. Hear me out -

When it comes to ATSV:

We are leaving the Analysation Phase, the phase in which content creation is centered around deciphering and breaking down the most recent installment in the fandom.

During this phase usually see art of newer characters, new ships, meta breakdowns, easter egg point-outs.

We were in that phase.

Once the Analysation Phase dies down, usually main content creators may remain. The intermediate or liminal period.

The intermediate is usually when you'll see more x-reader art pop-up, the levels of fanart evening out as artists return to their favorite characters - usually incorporating any new ones they gained from the last installment.

Shitposts usually also become popular around this time, as the shock and weight of the story wear off, and we're more able to joke about the storyline a lot more light-heartedly.

That's why the intermediate point is often see as the passion 'dying out'.

When in fact, it is the fandom getting comfortable. Resting for the next phase.

And after a few months, the next phase comes:

The Speculation Phase:

The Speculation Phase cannot come until the Analysation Phase is over.

During the Analysation Phase the fandom begins to breakdown and digest the writers intentions. They integrate the new character into the story, and the fandom.

As the audience and fandom talk amongst each other, we get more solid ideas of who the characters are, what their motivations might be, and most important of all-

What they might do.

In the Speculation Phase we turn from the last installment - and start looking towards the future.

Let's take Hobie for example.

Looking at the timeline of the Hobie fandom, we can see a progression.

Originally taken as a punk-rockstar and little more, throughout the months the fandom began posting things about punk culture, the 70's, Hobie's motivation in the comics, and how that all correlates to him.

As the fandom analyzed, the collective zeitgeist and understanding of Hobie grew into something a lot more sound, and telling.

We looked at the parellels he provides in the story, and what kind of person he is.

And because if that we have seen a marked improvement in people's contextual understanding of Hobie - as a punk and a hero.

And now that we can understand him - we can predict him.

The same goes for Miguel - over the months, a lot of us have began to question if we know him as well as we think we do , if we really know the kinda person he is -

And if we really know what he's doing to do.

That's where the Speculation Phase comes in.

The Speculation Phase in fandom is when we see some of the most passion - and instead of tapering off overtime, it builds. More and more until the next release.

The Speculation Phase is when the fandom takes the analysis' and from there, they begin to theorize.

Now that we understand, we can begin to predict.

And this is arguably one of the most interesting parts in a fandoms natural ecosystem.

During the Speculation Phase, we can see a number of diverse opinions appear.

As more and more creators begin to gather their understanding, tips from the writers, new released news, and past comic book arcs, we start to see dozens of triguing paths the writers can take us on.

As more news releases, the more hype people get. I mean - imagine how you'll feel when they release the first new poster of Hobie, or Miles? Or when we get to see Miles.G in the trailer?

And with each new poster, or trailer, we're given clues. The theorizes develop more. And the plot thickens.

It's all natural.

So I can understand the fear. Only getting one or two new posts when you visit the Hobie tag can be a bummer. But it's natural and it's GOOD.

Y'all, we need to conserve our energy. We are in the liminal phase. And they never last long.

With the news of the voice actors back in the studio, and a cliff-hanger like we have - I can assure you, it's only a matter of time before we begin to see the theories, the trailer breakdowns, the people guessing what Miguel might do, or exactly how much tech Hobie is hiding.

And when that time comes we need to be READY. I can already feel it on the horizon.

I really wonder what they'll do with all that left over Hobie concept art.

Plus with explosion of Hobie approval, I wonder if they'll add him in even more. Hobie fan-service anyone?

Hmmm...

But chill y'all, we're on the right track -

-------------------------------------

If you read this far, as always THANK YOU SO MUCH!! And as a token of my appreciation, I hand you this Hobie. Hold him gently please

Bye 💗

Ants Are Going to Town in My Body

Summary: Your boyfriend Shayne helps you through the roughest night of your period after getting a taste of cramps for himself.

Title taken from the video that inspired this story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkn2dc4L7fE

Word Count: 1.7K

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People could easily say that Shayne Topp has golden retriever energy. As his girlfriend of two years, you would completely agree with that statement, and you would say it as the highest compliment.

Shayne is the absolute best boyfriend you’ve ever had. It’s not uncommon for him to surprise you with flowers for no reason. He loves to cook. Sometimes you help him in the kitchen, and other times he kicks you out in order to surprise you with the new recipe he decided to try.

He gets excited to tell you all about the latest book he read or to watch a new movie or show with you. Day trips outside of the city happen a couple times a month, the two of you listening to music during the drive as you enjoy the fresh, non-LA air.

One thing that you found surprising at first is how much he dotes on you. It’s always in subtle ways, nothing overwhelming, but he does little things to show he cares. To show that he knows what you need, deep down.

He always takes care of you when you’re sick, grabbing medicine and making soup to help you feel better. If you’re sad or stressed he’ll go through the feelings with you. People often see him as a class clown type and might assume that he’d just do what he can to cheer you up and make you laugh, but that’s not always the case. He’ll meet you where you’re at. If you need to vent, he’ll listen. If you need to cry, he’ll hold you. He’s one of the most emotionally mature men you’ve ever met, and you can’t help but feel like the luckiest woman in the world to be able to call him your boyfriend.

He is also super supportive of you each month during your period. He has no problem picking up pads or tampons, not even batting an eye when fans recognize him in the feminine care aisle of the local convenience store.

He’ll make sure that you have pain medicine and a snack to take it with, so it doesn’t upset your stomach. He draws warm baths and makes sure your heating pad is ready for you. When you have cramps in the middle of the night you always go to the couch so that your constant tossing and turning to find a comfortable position won’t wake him. But without fail, he always comes to find you and bring you back to bed.

All that to say, he’s truly a perfect boyfriend. You don’t think it could be better than this. Until one day, he proves you wrong.

It’s day two of your period, and you’ve been curled on the couch since you got home from work. The pain meds haven’t kicked in, nothing is comfortable, and you’re extremely bloated. You’re debating if it’s worth it to drag yourself to the bathroom and take a bath when the front door of your apartment opens.

The very first thing Shayne does is press a kiss to the top of your head. The sweet gesture distracts you from the pain for a moment, but the relief is fleeting.

“Hey honey, how are you feeling?” he asks gently.

“Like it would be less painful to slice open my stomach and take out my uterus,” you reply through gritted teeth.

You finally look at him and see the most loving expression on his face. It immediately lightens your mood, and you say, “Sorry, that was a bit dramatic. I just hate waiting for the medicine to work. And I cannot get comfy.”

“I got something that might help,” he says before walking into the kitchen. You miss his presence next to you, but you’re also curious what he has for you. The microwave beeps and he’s crouched in front of the couch again. You look up and see him holding a stuffed rabbit.

“It’s one of those thingies that you can heat up and works like a heating pad. Plus, it’s your favorite animal so, I dunno, I thought it was cute.”

He hands it to you, and you place it on your belly, sighing at the immediate relief. “Thank you,” you say quietly.

“Of course, babe. I also have ingredients for your favorite meal so I’m gonna wash up and start making that, okay?”

You nod and smile, and he leans in to place a soft kiss to your lips. You’re comforted by the sounds of him preparing dinner in the next room and by the time the food is ready you’re finally feeling better.

“So, how was work today?” you ask as you dig into the delicious meal he prepared. You’d been too nauseas to eat lunch earlier, and you suddenly realize how starving you are.

“It was good, recorded a podcast, a reddit reacts and a challenge pit,” he replies.

“Busy day. What were the challenges?”

“Uh, it was a fun one. I’m gonna let it be a surprise for you when it comes out,” he says with a laugh. “How were the pups today?” he asks in reference to your job as a service dog trainer.

You tell him about the new dog that you’ve started working with as you both finish eating. Once you’re done you try to bring the plates to the kitchen. Since Shayne cooked you plan to do the cleanup, but he stops you before you can even stand. “I’ve got it babe, why don’t you choose a movie for us to watch tonight?”

You again wonder how you got so lucky to have someone who takes care of you and does so with a smile on his face. There’s a new documentary you’d both been wanting to watch so you pull it up and grab a blanket while you wait for him.

He joins you a few minutes later and hands you a bag of your favorite chocolates. You know that you didn’t have any in the apartment, meaning he’d picked them up for you. The kind gesture brings tears to your eyes, and you internally curse the hormones that make you more emotional than normal.

Shayne doesn’t comment on the crying, knowing that it sometimes makes you uncomfortable when he points it out. Instead, he just wraps his arm around you, pulls you in to cuddle against his chest, and presses play on the documentary.

His free hand moves to your belly, massaging and giving the type of pressure that always helps with your cramps. Even though they’re not bothering you right now, you appreciate how well he knows you and how he’s doing everything he can to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.

For the next hour and a half, the documentary plays. You’re only half paying attention to it. The rest of your brain is focused on your wonderful boyfriend, who knows exactly how to take care of you. There’s no expectation, he doesn’t want anything in return. He just wants to make sure he’s doing everything he can to make you feel better.

The credits start rolling and Shayne turns off the TV before getting off the couch and reaching out to help you stand as well. The two of you get ready for bed side by side in the bathroom and you burrow under the covers.

It takes a couple of minutes for Shayne to join you, and you assume he’s checking that the door is locked as he does every night. But when he comes into the bedroom, you see he’s carrying the new bunny he got you. It’s warm, and smells of lavender, and you know he heated it for you in the microwave before coming to bed.

You place it against your belly and Shayne gets under the covers, spooning you from behind. He places a kiss to the back of your neck and murmurs “I love you” against your skin.

“I love you too,” you reply, and fall asleep.

You wake in the middle of the night, your cramps coming back, so you quietly slide out of bed and walk into the kitchen. You find a snack already left out for you nearly cry again at how well Shayne takes care of you. After eating the food, you take more pain medicine and reheat the bunny. You notice a vase of flowers on the counter that weren’t there yesterday and immediately realize that Shayne must have picked them up along with the chocolates and the new stuffed animal.

Just as the microwave is about to finish you feel hands wrap around your waist.

“You okay?” Shayne asks, his voice groggy from sleep.

“I’m okay. Thank you. For the snack. And for the bunny. You truly are the best,” you say as you turn in his arms to press a kiss to his lips.

You grab the stuffed animal and lead Shayne back to bed. It takes half an hour for the pain medicine to kick in, and he rubs your back the entire time.

The next day is better, your cramps and bloating subsiding. But you can’t forget how well Shayne took care of you through the worst of it. He never diminishes your emotions or belittles the pain you feel.

A couple weeks later you get home from work and open YouTube to relax a bit before starting dinner prep. You see the new Smosh challenge pit video titled “Period Cramp Simulator Challenge” and you immediately start to watch it. The video begins with the rubber band chicken challenge which has you in tears with how hilariously ridiculous it is.

And then comes the period cramp simulator. You notice the outfit Shayne is wearing while he practically fights for his life experiencing cramps for the first time. Suddenly, his actions on day two of your last period make sense. Because that was absolutely the day they shot that video. He got a taste of what you experience every month and went even further in his need to take care of you. And for that reason, this video makes you fall even further in love with your boyfriend.

love spill !

PAIRING! - rockstar!jay (enha) x fem!reader

wc: 1.3k+

warnings: angst-ish but not really + fluff later !!, reader is stressed/exhausted, profanity, slow burn(?)

coco’s ♡ note: this came from a mini game I answered once and literally could not get over because I need rockstar bf jay so badly, I might make more with this jay too so let me know if you like it or have any rockstar!bf jay thoughts because I will indulge and write them !!! literally adore this jay so much ahhhh!!!

Finally.

Finally some piece and quiet away from the shared apartment you live in with the three younger boys.

Perhaps living with your younger brother and his university friends wasn’t the best idea, especially when you had a ten page journalism report due by three pm the next day.

That’s why you find yourself here on a hot summers day sitting in your favorite cafe, it’s not busy on Fridays and is hidden enough so the boys won’t find you for a while, but they will come looking eventually.

The bell of the cafes door rings to signify it being opened but this report is due tomorrow and you can’t stop to look up, but maybe you should have. Maybe you should have because now as you watch the hot brown liquid seep into your laptops keyboard you become painfully aware of the boy in front of you who’d walked in early wearing the most guilt ridden expression. His words muffled as you watch your screen go black.

“Oh fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I’m so sorry. Wait here let me get something to clean this up.” He’s fumbling with the other drinks in his hand as he tries to reach for napkins to clean the spill he’s made.

Where else would you go really? Right now you’re just waiting for the ground to swallow you whole. Had the program even saved the other three pages you’d written? Was your hard work gone just like that? Would your professor even believe you if you told him what happened? Even if it sounded straight out of a movie?

“Just leave it, I’ll clean it myself. Please leave.”

He stills at your words, no malice or emotions within them just exhaustion. The tone of your voice makes his heart ache, and he swears to himself that he’s going to make up for this for the rest of his life.

“I’m sorry for this really, I need to leave because I have a schedule to get to but I promise I’ll make this up to you. Can I have your number?”

Your stare makes him feel small, then he realizes how his question sounds after a minute passes between you two.

“Wait I didn’t mean it like that. I’m not asking you out. Not saying I wouldn’t ask you out but I’m not doing that right now! I just need it so I can text you to pay you back, or I can pay to get your laptop fixed. I’ll send you the money or even if you want buy you a new one.”

Jay can’t tell what you’re thinking but somehow he’s walking out of the cafe with your phone number and an assortment of drinks for his members. Dreading having to explain to them just what happened in the cafe.

unknown (2:46pm):

uh hey this is jay, I’m the one who dropped my coffee on your laptop, really sorry about that by the way!! um i want to give you these so I can say sorry again in person because my mom always said to apologize face to face or you don’t mean it and also that way we can figure out the laptop money thing together.

unknown (2:47pm):

four attachments sent

just stop by tomorrow and have some fun and then after I’ll come find you and we can talk!! what’s your name by the way?

you (3:12pm):

it’s y/n. thanks, I’ll see you tomorrow.

“I cannot believe some random dude gave you tickets to see downfall, like this show has been sold out for months and I mean months, talking eight months and he just gave up four tickets to see them? He must be loaded! Tell him you want a new computer and game console, I want the newest version.”

Jungwon’s excited rambles bring a smile to your face, sure just yesterday you’d cried almost all the water out your body until Jungwon had called your professor and explained in detail (along with sticking the phone in your room so he could hear your cries) the situation, but he’d also somehow gotten you an extension on your paper for the next week. He seriously deserved the random concert tickets the stranger, Jay, had sent you.

Receiving them was odd but he’d convinced you with the promise of fixing your laptop and that’s honestly all that mattered, so if you had to sit through a three hour long show next to some stranger who spilled coffee on your laptop then so be it because you’d be getting it fixed no matter what.

Except instead of said random stranger sitting next to you, an actual random stranger stood beside you excitedly yapping with her friends and the random stranger you had expected was perched on stage with a guitar in hand, microphone stationed in front of him like it belonged to him, and soon enough you’d realize from the crowds hollers that it did belong to him.

“ARE YOU READY FOR TONIGHT?” He’s met with screams all around the arena.

“That’s what I like to hear, alright let’s go.”

The shock of who Jay was really didn’t cease even after the show had ended and the four of you began to walk out the packed venue, it doesn’t really go away until a large man comes to escort you backstage.

“Hey buddy I think you have the wrong people, we’re just here still because my sisters waiting for someone.” Jungwon’s voice breaks you out of your shock and the man nods as if he knew what he was going to say.

“Yeah he’s backstage, just follow me.”

Jay fidgets with the bag he has in his hands, earlier he’d dragged the boys along with him to pick you out a new laptop and even threw in a new case and holder for it. He really wanted to get the image of your exhausted eyes out of his mind, he wanted to see you happy and healthy.

“Y/N you didn’t tell us the guy who spilled coffee on you was one of the members of downfall,” the voice he hears is failing to whisper as you get closer.

“Are we about to meet one of the members? What if it’s just like a staff or something like why would an actual member be getting their coffee and oh my god that’s the lead singer Jay.”

He laughs shyly at the boy who’s mouth is now wide open pointing excitedly at him, but he quickly shuts up as he spots you. You look so pretty, completely different from when he’d last saw you drenched in coffee and exhaustion all over your face. Right now you looked content and really really pretty.

“Hey Y/N, I know I said I’d give you the money to fix your laptop but I thought you should just have a completely brand new one, I’m really sorry for spilling my coffee on yours, I’m sure you were busy and needed it, I hope you can use this new one well,” his breath hitches as he holds out the bag to you and your fingers touch briefly, “and I hope you liked the show, I see your friends did.” He sends a wave their way and laughs when they all excitedly wave back.

A smile begins to develop on your cheeks and his heart races. This is exactly how he’d like to see you, happy and smiling.

Later that night as you pull out the new laptop determined to finish your nearly complete paper, a small card flutters out with it that reads —

“I wrote this to say not only sorry again, but to also ask if you’d like to go out with me sometime? and I mean it this time, as in I am actually asking you out unlike last time when I, you know accidentally asked you out unintentionally, this time I promise it’s intentional. Please let me make up the god awful first meeting we had, I promise it’ll be worthwhile. You have my number so if you want to then just shoot me a text but if not then that’s fine with me too! – Jay”

A smile forms on your face as you set down the card and get to working on your essay, the answer to Jay’s proposition already clear in your mind. Yes.

coco’s love note: i am so terribly down bad for jay it’s crazy. he’s so just perfect like I adore him so much!! and I’m the biggest rockstar!jay enthusiast like I just had to write something about it, plus I think it’s so adorable how he’s clumsy in this fic but a crazy rager on stage & only mc gets to see both sides of him fully! I hope you enjoyed this fic! As always, feedback & reblogs are appreciated! Thank you for reading <3

❒ PAIRINGS: Killer!KyojuroRengokuXReader

❒ CW: Mentions of Murder

❒ BACK STORY: it’s a Friday night and after months of hiding due to seeing a terrible event unfold, you’re waiting in front of the movie theatre for your group of friends to show up, not knowing that they brought a familiar face.

It’s like you’ve seen a ghost.

Something, or to be more precise, someone you have tried many times to get it out of your head yet comes back with a vengeance once you think you have finally done. You must be going mad because as you’re standing there waiting for your group to approach you, they appeared in the crowd and with your peers no less.

Why are they here? Who invited them here?

The golden question appears bright in your mind. Like a moth to a flame, you start searching for answers inside your own mind but soon realize that you know only they can answer but knew you couldn’t, no you mustn’t ask them. Your mind starts to slowly go into a frenzy asking the same thing over and over. Why why why why why?

This cannot be happening.

But it is. And the worst part of it all is that while you’re frozen in place with a look of terror on your face, your friends, accompanied by the monster, are starting to approach you. Some with looks of worry and others with looks of happiness on their faces. They are saying things, nothing their hands in the air trying to snap you out of your frozen state but to no avail. You were too busy trying to find a way out of there. Trying to find a way to escape.

There’s still time to run.

There is but not much. Since they have spotted you, they are more that ready to run after you if needed and you don’t know if you will be fast enough to get away but you must. You MUST for it’s the only way that you’ll be able to survive. They don’t know what you know about the ghost. They don’t know that they are murderers. That you saw with your own two eyes what they have done, what they are capable of and you’re hoping they never do. But one question is remaining, why haven’t you started to run yet?

Before you realized, you were surrounded by your peers. Laughter and questions could be heard all around you but all you could do was silent stare in terror as the person, the ghost who has haunted your nightmares and was the original reason for you shutting yourself in your apartment for months standing a couple feet away.

You can still make a run for it.

But you wouldn’t because even though your mind was made up and ready to sprint, your body became unresponsive, cemented to the ground you stood on. A smile slowly forming on his face. His eyes met yours with such intensity that it made your body shake. As your friend proceeded to pull him towards where you were standing to introduce him to you, nails dig into your arm accompanied by a forced panicked smile. You’re doomed.

You can’t run now.

Shivers coursed down your spine as you friend happily introduced you to her new friend. You attempt to crack a smile but felt too uncomfortable to do so. Standing not feet but inches away from you was the person, no the monster that you have been trying to avoid for fear that he might have figured out that you were a witness to his heinous act was now in front of you.

“You friend must be shy. That’s okay!” He says while smiling at your friend. “My names Kyojuro! May I know your name?”

Eyes wide and beaming down at you like the white hot scorching sun, his smile widens and you can see the tips of his canines peak, burning you down to the bone. A husky, deep tone vibrates from him, forcing your eyes make contact. You can feel the energy coursing through him and can tell that the energy was not that of a good person but of a trained killer. Your throat goes dry from the awkward silence making speaking impossible. Before you could, someone from the crowd yelled that it was time to go in, making everyone hurriedly rush inside the building.

“Maybe next time” he says while still maintaining eye contact, scanning your face and body to see how you would react but was met with only a nod. It’s suffocating and almost makes you want to vomit but you hold out until you no longer can see him in the crowd. As soon as you’re certain, you make a run for it, not thinking twice about looking back. There’s no way you’re staying there and you make sure that there’s never a next time.

God you wish there’s never a next time. But wishing and luck can only get you so far.

When the World Shifts (Finnick O’Dair x reader) Part 3

TW: It's about the Hunger Games, so murder, talks of death

We have left the other district 4 tributes now 😞. You do drink tea, but you can change it to coffee or water it's not important. Should I base the chariot outfits on the books or movies?

No Betas, we die like vikings.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 (here), Part 4: TBD

You sat on the train to the capital staring out the window as the trees zip past. You felt numb, you could only think of those who have been left behind and what you are heading to. You wonder what Mags and Annie are doing right now, hopefully, Annie is in a calmer space than when you last saw her.

You hear Finnick’s steps toward you but you cannot make yourself turn your head to him. “Darling,” He calls to you, hand wrapping your cheeks to make you look at him “I brought you some tea, you need to have a drink.”

His care of you made you softly smile as you grab the tea from his hands. You take a sip, the liquid soothing your throat.

“Finnick, what are we going to do?” You ask him.

“We have been training, haven’t we? I wasn’t doing that for fun darling.” He jokes trying to keep the mood light. He knew the seriousness of the situation but he was trying to comfort you.

“You know what I meant Finn, physically we are training but who are we allying with? Are we going to go to try and start fighting immediately or will we wait it out? I want us to be ready for what we will be facing in there.”

“Well I am sure Joannah will want to team up with you and she will tolerate me because of that.”

You giggle at his comment. Joanna had become a good friend to you, her anger at the games was something you felt and her honesty was something you applauded her for. She refused to be the capital’s pawn and you wish to join her, but you knew what it cost her. Her fight lost her family and you couldn’t risk the people you cared for. You knew the cost of fighting them, Finnick warned you but Joanna did not have someone to tell her that, leaving her with nothing to lose. Her honesty at the capital and willingness to call them out of their lavish parties while districts starved gave you comfort. You felt you could trust her friendship, she didn’t play capital games, she stood with you and talked because she wanted to not gain something.

“Let’s hope, but just to make sure maybe you shouldn’t mess with her. She doesn't think your jokes are as humorous as I do,” You responded.

These moments where you could pretend everything was okay, that you weren’t about to return to the arena. You could pretend you were at Victor village, just spending time with Finnick. But the truth chokes you, you aren’t at the village. You were here and although you joke with him you cannot truly be relaxed, knowing the peacekeepers in your train would report you if you did what you truly wanted. You hated how you had to keep Finnick further than he truly was to you. You cannot show any excess affection to him, only what you would to the other victors. The only reason you wish to get off this train is the fact you could finally have a truly private moment with Finnick, away from guards without fear of someone witnessing it. You spent as much time with the girls before you left since you did not know when you would see them next, with Finnick doing the same which meant you lacked time to be just the 2 of you.

“When the sky has clouds and we move so fast they almost look like waves,” Finnick spoke, eyes looking at you and guiding your eyes to look out the window with him. You look and understand what he means. The blue of the sky was rich like the waves you hear at night, and the cloud acted as the seafoam. You smile thinking of your home, although you were just there you realize that you did not appreciate it enough. You let yourself become comfortable, thinking you would live the rest of your life at the district, but that was something that would not be happening. You should have spent more mornings where the sea met the land, walking barefoot, and speaking to those who share your home. You had holed yourself away, feeling so much guilt for the lost tributes you could not save that you stopped seeing your beloved home.

“There are a lot fewer fishermen in these waves,” You point out, wanting to keep the conversation going.

“Maybe the weather is not nice enough to go out,” Finnick counters you “They did not want to waste the day on the sea when nothing would come of it.” The idea of this is a paradoxical joy for the District 4 people. A day off would be wonderful, but the weather would be terrible. Though being unable to be at the sea for a full day, being unable to catch your livelihood is risky.

“You know Jaks would never,” you giggle “Livia would have his head for not being out there. He would drive her too mad being inside all day.”

“Maybe they are celebrating something, something so important he had to stay on land,”

“He could never handle the whole day. He would spend the morning at home before he became too antsy and Livia would kick him out until supper. If she truly wanted to spend the day with him she would have to go out on the water with him, you know what she says,”

“If you could marry the ocean you would never spare me another glance!” You both say in unison, laughing at the thought of the old couple. The old couple was a stable at District 4, and although they bickered they were deeply in love.

“His response was always so beautiful,” Finnick reminds you. “My sweet Livia, even the ocean does not compare to you. If I could never go to the sea again I would survive, but to never see you again is a curse I could not bear.”

“Jaks could have been a poet with words like his,” You muse “they are sweeter than capital cakes. You could learn a thing or two from him.”

Finnick laughs, “Oh really? Maybe you just haven’t heard the best of my words yet.”

“Well, you should try to impress me before the games begin. It could be your last chance.” Your voice quiets as you finish your thought.

“I’ll have plenty of time to impress you, darling, that I promise you.” He throws a wink your way and takes a sip of his tea.

“I’ll hold you to it,” you tell him miroring him to take a sip of the tea. You both sit in a comfortable silence, not feeling the need to keep talking. You sit across from each other, you wish you could sit next to him, and be wrapped up in his arms but if this is what you can have you will take it, Your eyelids become heavy, and knowing he is with you, you let yourself rest falling into a sleep.

XDINARY HEROES WATCHING A SCARY MOVIE WITH YOU

♬ all members ♬ gender neutral reader, likes horror movies ♬ fluffy cuddles

GUNIL:

He isn’t necessarily afraid of the horror movie in question, it’s mostly just the jumpscares.

He always wants to cuddle with you and if he can use the movie as an excuse then so be it!

He tells you other scary stories the movie reminded him of while laying in bed as some kind of weird bedside tales.

This makes you become the scared one instead…

He comforts you by reminding you that it’s okay because he can always protect you with his strong arms.

He holds you close to his chest and tightens his arm around you while you fall asleep.

JUNGSU:

After the movie ends, he pretends that the horror movie didn’t affect him at all.

But he was clutching your hand the whole time, holding onto you for dear life and freaking out at the jumpscares.

“Do you want to sleep together tonight?” you ask, out of concern.

“Sure, if you’re too scared to sleep alone, I don't mind,” he replies with the most relieved smile ever.

He needs to hold your hand, and when you accidentally let go while turning in your sleep, he wakes you up so you can keep holding his hand in a different position too.

Nobody is going out to the toilet in the middle of the night alone, not you, definitely not him.

GAON:

He only agrees to watch the movie because he’s a ManTM and he’s not afraid of scary stuff!

He watches the whole thing through his fingers while covering his eyes and screaming every time something happens.

He’s definitely the type of person who knocks the popcorn bowl over at a particularly bad jumpscare…

At one point you want to touch his hand to see if he’s okay and he almost jumps out of his skin.

You have to say in a very roundabout way that you don’t want to watch this movie anymore to save his pride and his poor heart.

He cannot sleep AT ALL but you can easily distract him with cuddles and kisses.

O.DE:

HATES the mere idea of a horror movie but he wanted to be a considerate boyfriend so he agreed to watch one of the “less scary” ones with you.

He has instant regret.

He pretends to go to the kitchen for more snacks or drinks, and stays there for half an hour, sits down for one minute then goes to the bathroom…

He plugs his ears when ominous music starts playing and starts mumbling worried advices to the characters.

After it ends, he makes you promise to never watch a scary movie with him again, and to compensate him for the emotional damages.

Yes, kisses and cuddles will be okay for a start, yes, a breakfast the next day in addition would be perfect.

JUNHAN:

He agrees to watch it with you because he doesn’t think it will be that scary - it’s just a movie and he knows that everything is fake.

He also has confidence to tune his brain out and think about other things if he doesn’t really want to watch it anymore.

He tries to rationalize the scenes but still jumps at jumpscares because those are very shocking. What can a man do about it?

He refuses to admit that the movie’s contents are still lingering in his head when it’s time to go to bed.

He smoothly suggests that you should stay over and you should sleep together, and hopes that his sudden invitation is enough of a pleasant surprise for you to not question it.

He calms himself down with you sleeping soundly in his arms, listening to your heartbeat, caressing your hair.

JOOYEON:

He agreed to watch the movie because he’s ManTM and he’s not afraid of scary stuff - version 2

SCREAMS THROUGH THE WHOLE THING - even when there’s nothing particularly scary happening.

When you make him stop, he starts attempting conversations with you and just speaks over the movie so he can only hear his own voice.

If that doesn’t work, he will simply beg you cutely to watch something else.

He can and will make it impossible for you to watch that damn movie, one way or another.

He claims you need to take responsibility for his trauma, puckers his lips and closes his eyes, waiting for you to kiss him.

About chapter 369:

Remember that these are my own, personal opinions, and you don't need to agree with them (however, friendly discussion is welcomed as always). And my opinions are affected by the rumour I heard about there being only 3 chapters of BC left, including 369. Meaning that we'd get the finish, maybe, Christmas 2024.

The chapter was very MagLuck centric, which is amazing to those who love the dynamic duo, and I'm happy for them, but... I felt that essentially... nothing happened? I mean, Asta comes back, with Ichika, and we have the very brief "omg Captain Yami's lil' sister is here?! wait?! He has a sister??!!", but it was very brief. And, I get that due to the tempo of the point where the story is, them being in the battle where we've been for the past... 30+ chapters (granted that Asta was in yet another battle within those 30 chapters, but it's been basically just one battle after another ever since the start of the Spade arc); battles make the tempo quick. That's how most prose works. You can't focus on many events in the heat of the battle, but BC... in my opinion, has become about nothing else than fighting. It's like Luck took over Tabs and it's just fight fight fight. The movie was just one 1h+ long fight scene with minimal story, and so is the manga as it stands now.

And... if Tabs is supposed to wrap it up in 60 or so pages, I cannot see how he could realistically do that unless it ends in the "you all die" ending. Which would be very un-BC like.

Could Lucius die of a heart attack? It's possible. The big bad's heart can't take the toll of all the mana he's consuming suddenly and it gives out and he flops down. Asta and Yuno wouldn't get their rivalry settled and life in Clover would go back to business as usual. (I'm not seriously suggesting this of course, I'm trying to be funny)

I hear that this is very Berserk type of a situation to be in. You got one chapter every 6 months and nothing essentially happens, because the plot is progressing so slowly. But as of now, I feel like BC is a falling house of cards. A lot happens, without proper development, and it's buried under flashy fights, maybe, meant to distract the reader.

The next chapter will (if we believe the battle order in the end of chapter 368) have the Mereo&Morris battle, and the last issue will deal with Yuno&Asta vs. Lucius. But it all feels too hasted.

There absolutely are good things about BC, which is why I'm saddened to feel that it's going out in flames. I just don't find things to expect anymore.

I am happy to those who feel hyped for the MagLuck moment, and them having their Great Duo Fight against the big bad, and my criticism isn't just about this chapter. It's about the last 100 chapters. The movie. The lack of lore, world-building, character-building, the lack... of a story.

And I blame the manga industry pushing Tabs to burnout, which is why we're here.

I feel bad for Tabs. I feel bad for the story. It could've been a cool story.

And that's the real tragedy here, to me. What might've been

Table number six p.3/...

pairing: charles leclerc x fem reader summary: you decided to disappear from your hometown with your bestfriend, finding the anchor in Monaco. With your talent to be in the right place at the right time you got yourself into some fine situation PS summary: Charles is getting just a little bit obsessed(ish) with you, yet you still think he hates your guts warnings: emotional cheating (kinda), some swearing, bad jokes and smuttish thoughts, wet dreams about reader Word count: 2.8 K notes: there you go! :* @laneyspaulding19 @f1obessed

That was the first night he came back home, laying down onto the bed next to his girlfriend, his eyes pointing to the ceiling above him and thinking about someone else rather than himself… -

When you got home, you clasped the handle of the door behind you and smiled wildly from ear to ear with your back pressed against them. You couldn’t collect your thoughts about what just had happened. The touch you two shared. The closeness you two shared. Something ignited in you. But this thought of yours came quickly to an end. (Wait, I don’t even like this guy in a first place.)

well you’re home quite early - Mary disturbed you out of your thoughts. oh hi Mary - as you saw your best friend looking at you confused. It was probably because of you, looking like an insane person, smiling from ear to ear yet your eyes were wide awake with a hint that something is conflicted inside of you.

- As you told your best friend everything about the whole evening, you felt like you’re in a movie or something. You've never had such a bad timing in your whole life. With all of the coincidences that had happened, meeting the family and all….Yet, the most surprising thing was that you are being aware of the fact that you are shy and insecure about HIM. -

So yeah, that’s how I got into the mess. And then Pascale asked this guy to take me home and- -Wait wait hahaha. This guy? Didn’t you just tell me like he is her son or something? Well. Yeah. Whatever,….it was so embarrassing I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole. I bet it wasn’t that bad as you make it sound. You two with this guy just don’t know each other ...so it makes sense he’s not that all over you in the first place…. Hahahah cannot say the same about you though. Well haha very funny Mary. - You rolled your eyes at her. - Yeah but if you did actually see him how he looked at me! Like I’m annoying him with just my presence! Well he took you home, didn't he? Yeah, but - like it's just because of his mom. It doesn't mean anything! Silence Girl, you like him? What!!!!!? No! Jesus no. He is pain in the ass. Grumpy man. Always looking like something is hurting him or something. This guy cannot even properly smile. - you blurted it all out Silence Alright, a simple no would be ok.

The next day you crawled out of your bed to make you a cup of coffee. It's probably not the best thing for you to drink coffee as the first thing in the morning but oh well you needed that. Because the whole night you were thinking about Charles. You wanted to smash your head through the wall. Like this guy is giving you a headache. While you were standing in the kitchen, complaining about your life right now, making grumpy sounds you felt how the cold breeze blew through the kitchen from the street and caressed your whole body, making you feel goosebumps, thinking of wrapping your arms around you. But you heard your phone buzz. Taking you out of your moment. You took a look on the screen. A message from Unknown number. (What?)

Hey, how did you sleep? (Whaaat the fuck is that???)

Oh hey YN. As you were still looking on the screen in disbelief, Mary made herself present in that moment. YN?? Oh - you looked at her - sorry. I was lost in the thoughts. Yeah, I can see that. What's wrong? Someone texted me from an unknown number. Show me. - you handed her the phone. After a while she spoke back. Well isn't that Charles? - handing you back the phone. Looking unbothered as ever. WHAT? … Nah. He doesn't have my number. Well then ask who it is. Yeah sure, you should know better than that to communicate with creeps and serial killers. Mary gave you an annoyed stare. - Do you think creeps talk like that? - as she pointed towards your phone. Yeah ok whatever.

Who is this? Charles. Sorry, I asked for your number. Ehm ok? Why?

My mum would like to see you. (Oh….) What is it about?

She wants to take you out, go shopping or something like that. I am leaving today for about a week, so she wanted to make sure you two could arrange the date while I'm still here. I see…. She would meet you tomorrow, around 5pm in the mall. You up for that? Yeah, I'm free. Perfect. I will let her know then.

Soo??? What was it about? His mum wants to see me. - you put the phone on the table and came back to pick up your coffee. Oh. wow. Why? I don't know. Go shopping. I guess she thinks we have a similar taste in clothes since we were talking about it yesterday. Well that is nice no? I guess….

Well you didn't know what to think about that. Isn't it kinda weird? To meet his mum solo?

The next day did pass. Jean called you to tell you about how well you did at work and how he'd like to hire you. You were actually up for that. It's nice money. And friendly people are always welcome in your presence. But with the upcoming date with Pascale, you were little anxious. As you were waiting in the mall, you saw the familiar face.

Bonjour Pascale Bonjour YN. Ca va? Bah ouais, ca va.

She grabbed you by your arm and led you to the first shop on the right side.

Please forgive my manners using my son to contact you. I wanted to go out with you and ask you about something. Oh. - (what could she possibly ask me about?) - it's alright. What is it about then? - you asked her, eagerly waiting for her response as the fabric of the dress you were looking at ran through your fingers. There is this event my whole family and friends will be attending. I'd like to see you there. Yet it would be better to bring a plus one. You know, long dresses, dancing, drinks. I thought you'd like that. And I'd love to have all of my friends there. Jean will be there as well. Wow, that is so nice of you! But I'm not quite sure. Aren't the tickets like sold or something? - you really wanted to get out of this, but something was keeping you back. You tried to play it cool, but you've recognized how excited you got. Silly you. OH! Don't worry about it. It is all settled. It is my friend's event and we are all so welcome, including my friends. Pascale, I really appreciate it, but - I cannot think of anyone to go there with. - which was true. You are really not dating anyone right now. And bringing a friend is just.. unnecessary. Well clearly there has to be someone. You are so young and so beautiful, guys must be drooling over you. - (ehm wow), you giggled slightly from the embarrassment. Yeah, I will have to think about that. Merci Pascale.

The rest of the time you talked about life in general - she told you all about her family and her childhood as well as her young adulthood. She was kinda wild as you found out. You had to chuckle from time to time. She was sweet and funny, you started liking her even more. -After you two separated, you went back home. Feeling tired all of a sudden. This whole meet up must have taken a lot from you. Which was very strange finding indeed.

Had fun with mum tonight? - another text message from him. Hello Charles, yes. She invited me to this gala event next week.. I suppose I will see you there. You suppose right.

(Alright mister passive aggressive.) You tossed the phone away as you snorted. You grumpily went to the living room.

What's up with you? glancing at your best friend and waving your hand. Nothing… YN? Yeah Ok. - you sat on the couch - You know how I was meeting Pascale today right? Ohhh, right! I completely forgot about it. How did it go? Well, fine. She invited me to this gathering. Oh! that's nice! Yeaaaah, but there is a snag in it.. Firstly, I have to bring someone with me. And I have ZERO idea who to bring with me. Since we're gonna dance and all - you know. And second, Charles is a creep. Alright, spare the poor guy. What did he do now? Well, he is acting like a creep! Sending me a message If I had fun tonight with his mum. Like - who asks these questions nowadays? It's just.. so weird. I don't know how to explain it to you. Well… I don't know, I guess it is slightly weird, but - I don't know what is happening between the two of you guys. What?? Nothing! I swear to God it's nothing. She just gave you this look you knew all too well. Like she doesn't believe a word you say. Well anyway, about the guy, what about Gabriel? Who? Your classmate. The one with brown eyes and curly hair. Oh… like my plus one to this gala event? I don't know. - you furrowed your eyebrows. It's not that you had something particularly against him, you just weren't really looking for guys or having whatever nightmare with them. Charles was giving you enough already. Well he clearly likes you. He'd say yes to that. Mary - I'm not sure. He will think I like him or something. Well you either want to have good fun or not. You want to go to the event? Yes. Then do it. The rest will be taken care of. -

Hello sweetie. Take a look. What do you think about this dress? I had my mind full of thoughts about my mum with YN together. What could they possibly be talking about?? Like I don't even know what my mum wants to do with her in the first place. Charles? Sorry? What were you saying? The dress… what do you think? - as she spun around. As I watched my girlfriend in that dress, all I could think about was how the dress would look on YN's body. Remembering the last time I saw her in dress. The white one she had when walking down the stairs, walking to me, the fabric hugging her thighs and leaving her body in a nice sensual motion. Im sorry, I cannot concentrate well today. Oh, was it the trainings? Yeah. it was tough today. No grip. I see, but think about it. I want us to match. -

(Ok ok, how to approach this. Hey Gabriel, I have an offer for you… what? No! Bad idea What about Hey Gabriel, long time no see.. - ok that's even worse. Hey Gabriel, how are you today? Well that is weird - since we are barely talking to each other,….oh my god alright I don't have the time for this.)

Hey Gabriel, I got invited to this gala event, there should be drinks and dancing and nice people to talk to. You first came up to my mind as my plus one, would you be up to?

Bzzz..

Hello YN! Oh yes I would love to! Can we meet? What? Like right now? Yes yes. I need to know more. -

She was on her knees, her eyes devouring me from the inside out, her gaze ascribing who I belonged to. Her sensual and slow movements of her mouth around my cock seduced me so much that I lost consciousness. But those eyes of hers, they kept me alive, they kept me conscious. If I looked back for just a moment, I would lose it all. I would have been nothing more than a piece of debris that had let itself be caught in a trap. But with her, she's the one who keeps me alive, even though it's because of her that I'm losing ground at the same time. And she knows it. And I know it too. But because I am thoughtlessly hers, I let myself be carried away by her flow of femininity and secrecy. She has power over me, pure power, she keeps me with her, but I would be the one to lay down my life for her and suffer all the losses, just so she wouldn't have to suffer any. And that's when I put a piece of myself into her, she made me the way she wanted to make me and she got me. I will forever be under her influence. And now she knows I'm hers. -

I drove the car to her place. I was unconsciousness. I needed to see her to feel alive again. I felt torn after this dream. And the only thing that could make me whole again was her. Seeing her. As I was waiting for some time in front of her apartment, in my car, I was considering If it is a good idea. Somehow I got back my logical mind. But when I focused on the feeling within, I still felt torn, even when logic came back. That is when I knew what to do next. She was the reason why I immediately packed my bags and went straight back to home, her place is my first stop after returning from the Grid. Nobody knows I'm already here, that early. But I felt like I cannot hold it anymore. After days of no contact. - I looked around. It was still early in the morning but I somehow knew she'd be up already. I got inside the building the next minutes, the number of her apartment written down in front of the main doors. Going upstairs searching for the number 4. Second floor. I knocked on the doors and waited. Feeling anxious about what I'm gonna do next. It didn't last long though. Seeing YN in just a man's shirt and her hair being all over the place. Looking surprised. Her smile faded away quickly.

Charles?!!! W-what are you doing here???? You were at loss with your words. You wanted to say so much more but couldn't. He was looking at you like he wants to kill you at the same moment. Feeling of uneasiness got the best of you. You're thinking pattern got back to normal. You've had enough of this guy. First he make himself seen like he is something better than you. Then he shares with you such an intimate connection with you, at least for you! leaving you confused. On top of that, you're meeting his mum who you like so much and now he is standing in front of you, early in the morning with a look that could kill. Just finally for a few days you didn't have to think about him and his grumpy confusing ass and now he is in front of your apartment.

YN? Is something wrong? - Gabriel showed up behind you, wearing nothing but grey sweatpants. Charles glared at him, with such a disapproving undertone. Yes - you could cut the tension with a knife. I'd like to talk to YN. A.L.O.N.E. Ehm, yeah sure… - Gabriel looked at you, lost in words. Looking like a lost puppy. Cannot blame this guy. Even you were scared of him. Damn this guy has something in him, something that scared you yet intrigued you, and you wanted to find out more. But you clearly didn't want to admit that. As Gabriel was taking his stuff and leaving the two of you behind, planting a kiss on your cheek and saying bye to you, you bore your gaze to Charles again. The two of you just shared an intense gaze towards one another. He was the first one to break it though.

He was waiting till the last second when Gabriel finally left the space you occupied together. Then he made himself feel like at home by passing by you and going straight to the kitchen. Without any words. Ehm sorry???, but what is going on? - he looked at you upside down, hating the fact you wear some other guy's t-shirt. You thought that he is simply disgusted by you being half naked. But - the truth was rather opposite. You went to change your clothes and came back. You really couldn't play this game much longer. You couldn't even stand his stares on your half naked ass, looking so digusted so you gave up. (Whatever this guy's problem, I won't let him ruin my day.) Would like something to drink? Just water, thanks. - already sitting on the chair at the main table in the kitchen. Looking rather unbothered. As you poured the water to the glass, you turned back to him. Will you finally tell me what is this about?
