Amnesia - Chapter 2

Jumin x Mc Ending: Happy End

Okay! Chapter two! I hope i could glue some hearts and didn’t destroy them even more, ahahah XD Enjoy!

Chapter 1

,,Mommy, when will the doctors allow Daddy to see us again?’’ your son asked you. You looked down at him and smiled warmly. You weren’t sure how long you could keep up with this lie. ,,JiHo, shall we draw today while Mommy goes to work?’’ Jihyun asked your son, who immediately agreed. ,,Thanks,’’ you whispered and tried to hold back your tears. On your way to work, the conversation you had with Jumin went through your head. The RFA, who was present yesterday when Jumin told you that he wanted to get divorced, stopped opening new chats. To be honest, Seven made a second server where everyone beside Jumin was in. Zen already proposed to you that you could go to his place, however, Jihyun was quicker.

,,Jumin would have wanted me to take care of you, don’t worry. Once he regains his memories, he will be sorry and beg you for forgiveness. Give him time and take care of your health,’’ he told you. You looked up to the big company. He wouldn’t fire you, would he? ,,What are you doing here? The samples for the DNA test aren’t ready yet, or do you want to confess already?’’ Jumin asked you annoyed. Jaehee pressed her lips together. ,,I work here, Jumin,’’ you told him. You were confident and didn’t intend to show him any weakness. ,,As…?’’ he asked you and looked over to Jaehee.

,,You can’t fire her!’’ Chairman Han hissed as his son. ,,Son, for me, you were always perfect, but just now I realized how much better this woman made you. First of all, she is your wife. Secondly, you can’t fire a pregnant woman! At least give her another workplace, but even if you do, how would it look if the wife of the CEO gets another job in the company?!’’ Chairman Han tried to ask his son. But Jumin already made his decision. ,,You will work here,’’ Chairman Han said, ,,it’s the best I could do, unfortunately,’’ he apologized. ,,It’s okay,’’ you mumbled as you patted your belly, ,,we can handle it,’’ you tried to smile and not to cry.

But one of the co-workers in the accounting office was already really nice to you, so you didn’t feel that bad. You knew that everything would turn out for the best, or so you hoped. ,,It is my son. She was telling the truth,’’ Jumin mumbled as he and his lawyer looked at the documents. ,,Jumin, I swear to God you weren’t manipulated. I have known you for a long time and trust me, you even made me change the documents on her name, see! If something were to happen to you, everything would go to her. You wrote that yourself!’’ the lawyer showed Jumin. Everyone was telling him the same thing. Everyone wanted to show him that he changed and that he loved, but if not even he himself could understand his feelings, how could other people do it? ,,As your personal lawyer I won’t finish the divorce until you wait for the birth of your next child,’’ he said and packed his stuff. ,,You do know that I will fire you even if we’re friends, right?’’ Jumin asked with a dark voice. ,,Then fire me, but I won’t destroy the little family you built and cherished, because someday you will regret it,’’ he said and packed his stuff, leaving Jumin alone in the penthouse. And once again, this odd feeling overcame him. Pain. ,,Maybe I should call the doctor,’’ he mumbled to himself. ,,I feel pressure on my chest, but not pain. I can’t breathe correctly. I have an odd feeling,’’ he tried to describe. ,,Mr. Han, you aren’t sick,’’ the doctor chuckled. He was his doctor for the last ten years and knew what he was feeling, finally. ,,You’re lonely,’’ he explained and patted his shoulders. With that, he was fired too.

,,FIRE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ME OR THAT WOMAN!’’ he yelled into the phone as he called Jaehee. He was sick of that. Why did the people around him think that they knew him better than he did himself? Weeks went by, and even though he could have called another lawyer, he didn’t do anything about the divorce. Weeks went by and even through he wasn’t interested in you, he came by daily to check ,,if the work was done cleanly.’’ But the truth was that he just had to see your face. Because whenever he saw you, he felt at ease. His chest didn’t hurt, his breathing would calm down, and his mind would be at ease. Whenever he heard you laugh, he had to laugh too. But he also hated to come by because, often he would see you crying alone in the room, mumbling his name. Once he even overheard something and he regretted being there at that moment. ,,What will happen to the little girl I’m carrying? She will be here soon and her father won’t even love her… It hurts my heart so much… but what hurts the most is, that he will hate it… He will never feel the same again… I’m scared that he will stay alone forever… so much changed in his life and he doesn’t even know it yet…’’ you sobbed. Jumin was about to enter the room when he could see and hear that another man was in the room. ,,Where are you staying at the moment, Mc?’’ ,,At his best friend’s place… He’s taking care of us…’’ ,,Why don’t you come to my place. Let’s break contact with Mr. Han. He will never be the same again and it will only hurt you… He was like that, he always was,’’ the man tried to explain. ,,You shouldn’t say that about the person you’re working for…’’ you mumbled. ,,I know, but I became to hate him, seeing that he makes you cry…’’ ,,Wooseok…’’

Suddenly his body reacted on it’s own. Jumin Han felt something inside him, as if his blood was boiling. He felt hot and even though he didn’t mean to, as he entered the room he began to yell. ,,YOU ARE FIRED! AND YOU! I KNEW THAT YOU WERE A GOLD DIGGER!’’ he hissed at you. ,,How dare you… HOW DARE YOU, JUMIN?’’ you hissed at him and jumped up. ,,YOU DON’T EVEN RECOGNIZE ME OR YOUR SON! YOU FORGOT US! THE MEMORIES WE MADE TOGETHER AND OUR VOWS! SO WHY WOULD YOU CARE WHAT I TALK ABOUT WITH OTHER MEN?!’’ you yelled louder, catching the attention of everyone else around you. ,,Because… BECAUSE I HAVE THIS ODD FEELING INSIDE ME. DEEP INSIDE ME SOMETHING IS TELLING ME THAT YOU AREN’T ALLOWED TO TALK TO OTHER MEN! SOMETHING MAKES ME FEEL ODD WHENEVER I LOOK AT THE PICTURES! BUT WHENEVER I WANT TO DELETE THEM, I CAN’T!’’ ,,Jumin, you got to know your feelings. Why can’t you accept that we are a family and that you love us?’’ you asked him. You had a sore throat, your limbs hurt, you were scared, and you were angry and desperate. You needed his strength again. You needed his love and warmth. ,,Because I don’t love you… This isn’t love. Love doesn’t exist…’’ he mumbled before you closed your eyes and collapsed.

The Great Chain, Chapter 5

The Hierarchy of Beings | Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4

Written for @nebluus for her birthday! It was a MUCH WELCOME break to have something non-obiyuki to work on during bingo, especially to play with HMH, even if this did turn mostly into two OCs having a nice chat with one another XD

Ambassador Prak is punctual, as would be expected from a man raised to the grace of Chanvaty’s gaze, sharply dressed and not a hair out of place. He favors the style of these heathen lands, mirror-shined boots and indecently tight pants, as well as the ridiculous high-collared coats that they wear. She peers at him through a haze of gold, and with the same swiftness as the God’s breath, decides that the costume is not entirely unbecoming. After all, he is here to live among the heathens, to learn their ways so that he may better come to understand what value they can be to Wati. Imitation is but one tool through which trust may be forged.

“I must admit, Most High,” he says, bowing at the waist as these heathens do, “I did not expect your summons. Nor your...request.”

She nods, and ah, it is strange to talk to a man with no screen between them, nor a woman of proper birth to serve as their go between. It is only she and him and the God’s breath around them.

“Nor should you,” she agrees gracefully. “It is not a whim I am accustomed to having. However--” he lips curl behind her veil slyly-- “I have been told that it would be beneficial for the vessel which houses what is most womanly and sacred if I were to...take in the gardens.”

His neck cranes up, brows raised nearly to his hairline. She grits her teeth. In her brother’s court, a man would lose his head for such blasphemy.

Here, she can expect no such justice.

“Is that so?” His voice is strained from the angle.

“It is.” She draws herself straight on her seat, shoulder rolled proudly back. “Do you find that strange, Ambassador?”

“No, no, not at all,” he assures her. “It is common for the ladies of the court to take a daily turn about its pathways.”

"Am I not a member of the same court?” If she were her brother, she would raise that single, dangerous brow, but she settles for tapping a displeased finger. “Should I not partake in their preferred pastimes?”

“I...” His jaw shuts with a quiet snick. “Of course, Most High.”

“Then come.”

She stands, though not without difficulty. Her brother always had a strong presence, moving with the grace of a warrior and the gravitas of a god. She is neither, levering herself to her feet only by virtue of the rests on either side of her arms. Still, her ambassador is awed when she holds out a hand. “It is time that I walk on my own two feet.”

The pace the ambassador sets is slow; so slow she assumes he mocks her until she sees the other pairs that promenade down the garden paths. It makes some sense, in a way-- this is, after all, an activity of leisure, not exercise. Though even with the veritable crawl he sets, her feet ache mere minutes after their start. By the time he suggests a rest to smell the roses, it has spread all the way up her legs, even into her hips.

“Thank you,” she pants, bending over a large, ruffled bloom. Through the veil she can hardly smell it, but she’s glad for the excuse to linger, to let the burning in her legs subside. After all, she has not yet even begun to complete the business she set out to do on this walk.

“My pleasure,” the Ambassador assures her. “It is my great honor that you have brought me along as your particular companion.”

She straightens, examining another flower on a higher branch. “Is that not how it is done here? We have passed many pairs.”

“Yes, Most High. The paths are narrow, and the ladies prefer to keep their parties small, or plan to be paired.” Prak nods, leading her to another bush, one with a flower nothing like the last, but still labeled a rose. “Most choose to come with their closest female companions. However...”

She turns to him. “However...?”

“Ah, well...” He smiles, sly. “Some choose to take advantage of the garden’s more secluded nature and take a turn or two with their, ah, intended. Or perhaps, more accurately, their...intended intended.”

She stares for a long moment. “You mean assignations?”

His mouth twitches. “The court is quite young, Most High. They have a tendency to get into...shall we say...spirited follies.” He slants her a look from the corner of his eyes. “Perhaps you might invite Prince Zen on your next walk, should you enjoy this one.”

She is glad for the veil, for then no one can see how her jaw drops, how her face heats. To think that she-- that he--!

“I do not think that would be prudent.” Or enjoyable, she does not add. “And the prince must have other duties that need his attention.”

Prak barks out a laugh, muzzling it when she stares. “I think,” he says, careful, “that his most pressing duty is your attention, Most High.”

Her fingers hesitate on the bloom she holds, its silky petals slipping against her skin. “What do you mean?”

She is not used to being stared at in such a way, let alone by a man of the God, but the ambassador does, both brows raised. “Surely you have not forgotten, Most High, that the contract between our countries relies on whether you accept his suit.”

She had, entirely. After all, it was not as if her brother would welcome her home with open arms if she refused. He had made that clear enough before she left.

To return would disappoint the God. His face is as smooth and forbidding as any statue of the God, with the same chill as stone. You will stand in his shadow should you return to feel his light.

Her hand clenches in her sleeve. “Of course.”

Prak holds out his arm. They have apparently lingered enough. “It would not surprise me if the king had informed his brother that wooing you was his highest priority.”

She hesitates, her hand hovering in the air between them. This is how the others have walked, ladies arm-in-arm and gentlemen with hand either placed on top of or tucked into their elbow. This is what is polite here, what is expected.

But still, still. She is the sacred feminine, a child of the God himself. To touch another is to profane herself. To touch another is to spell their death.

Or that was what she had been told. But when she had laid a hand upon the prince he hand not burned, and when the concubine had looked upon her bare form--

Nothing. Perhaps this country is a sight too far for even Atar Wat’s gaze.

She lays down her hand, his coat rough beneath the sensitive pads of her fingers. “He has a strange way of showing it.”

“Has he not come to see you?”

“No.” It has been a relief; she had thought a man who loved his own voice so would importune her with it more often. “We spoke only the once. The first day.”

Were he not a man of dignity and gravitas proper to his station, she might say that Ambassador Prak was agog. “That was nearly a week ago.”

She shrugs a hand. “So you say.”

“Hah.” Prak hums, thoughtful. “Did you say anything to make him think you would not want his company?”

Until we are married, she had said, so sure, so proud, I will remain untouched by your eyes.

“Ah, there.” She points around a bend in the path. “Come, tell me the name of this flower.”

She might not be much of a hunter, but by the God’s grace, she still finds her quarry.

Mistress Shirayuki. Prak good humor is unfeigned when the woman startles, red tail whipping over her shoulder. I suppose it should be no surprise to find you here.

Ambassador Prak. The concubine stands, her smile more strained than his. Munkhtsesteg. Prak’s brow twitches at the name. I didn’t expect to have visitors.

We were only passing through, he assures her, slanting her a questioning glance as her hand tightens on his sleeve. Her Most High wished to see the gardens.

They are lovely this time of year. Or any time of year, really! The girl’s smile puts the sun to shame. She might be the god’s vessel, but it is she who is blinded when Shirayuki looks at her. I’m happy to see you’re taking my advice.

The ambassador’s brow twitches again, and she resists the urge to hunch in on herself, to become smaller as the lesser folk do in the presence of their betters. But there is no man or woman who can claim themself her better, save for her brother and the God, so she stands tall. Who is this man, born under the gaze of Rith, to question her?

I had thought it might be prudent to see these much vaunted gardens, she allows graciously. Since it seems this...promenading is the activity favored by the young ladies of this court.

The concubine nods, pulling at the thick gloves covering her hands. And what do you think?

“It’s vulgar,” she says, the disgust on her face masked by the weave of her veil. The concubine’s smile does not fade, but she glances up at Prak, brows raised in question.

Her Most High means that it is quite different from her brother’s court. Her glances down at her, mouth pinched. The transition between them if quite...difficult.

A politique answer from a politique man. She would have expected no less from their finest diplomat.

Oh? Shirayuki’s face is alight with interest. Are the gardens very different there? Do you have colder place to grow plant from other countries, or--?

Ah. Prak smiles, chagrined. I do believe Her Most High meant that the...activities are different, not so much the gardens.

But they are, she supplies, too eager. Come, you shall walk with us, and I will tell you of them.

The concubine stiffens, every inch of her pale skin blooming with crimson. She worries-- surely the girl would not be so gauche as to suffer apoplexy here, now, in the garden of her king.

Most High, the ambassador says, as harsh as a whip’s crack. Surely Mistress Shirayuki has duties to attend to.

Oh, no! When she looks again, the girl is smiling, wide and bright. I would be happy to come. I just need to finish a few things here first. Do you mind waiting?

Of course not. Her lips curve wickedly beneath her veil. There are times where even the God must hold his breath.

The girl’s gaze skitters to the ambassador before meeting hers again. Then I’ll be just a moment.

Treading 27th: What Dose Wander Over Yonder mean to you?

Oh, where do I begin...?

February 9th, 2014 was the day I got into Wander Over Yonder. I started looking up pictures of Wander on WOY Wiki, watching clips of the show on YouTube and this was back when Season 1 was still airing at the time! Basically, you could say Wander had taken over my life and the lovable alien sure did!

Seriously, when I entered the Wander fandom, I started drawing fanart of Wander and all his friends. Even fanart of Wander and Sylvia visiting the talking planet Janet. Trust me, I drew a BUNCH of fanart for that episode...

My love for Wander Over Yonder was so strong that I can’t even tell you how PUMPED I was for Season 2! I still remember watching the summer shots that were on Disney XD’s YouTube channel and they made me so happy and hyped for the new adventures our galactic heroes and villains will be going on while also dealing with their new villain, Lord Dominator!

Hater: BOO! I HATTE THAT GUY!!!

As Season 2 got its start, I could tell that this happy go lucky show was about to take a GIANT dark turn and it sure did! But it was actually really fun getting to learn more about our heroes. Like how Wander said Wander isn’t his real name, it was a nickname Sylvia gave him after she had captured Wander during her days as a bounty hunter. And how Wander always loves to help people because his helper personality comes from when he was a small child who was helpless and scared. I still love the qoute Zen Wander said about Helpless Wander.

Zen Wander: The helper seeks to help because he knows what is it means be helpless.

Season 2 went off with a bang during 2015 and I was super excited to see more of our heroes adventures in 2016. Until that’s when I heard Craig saying that Disney wasn’t going to renew Wander Over Yonder for a third season and just when the Second season had just started getting fantastic...

I felt my heart sank a bit hearing the news. I loved Wander Over Yonder and it was such a shame to see it go. But at lest we still had a bunch of episodes to go until the finale on June 27th, 2016.

During the summer of 2016, there was no doubt I wanted to watch all the summer episodes Wander had planned before the show was going to be ending. My favorite episodes I couldn’t quit obsessing about was The Search For Captain Tim and The Heebie Jeebies. I drew a bunch of fanart for this one too... To make a long story short, after when Wander’s last episode aired, I suddenly made a vow to keep Wander Over Yonder alive forever and well, I’m happy to say that it still continues to this very day!

Wander has been a influence on my life for many, many years. “Never hurts to help” became my everyday qoute. I love this show. Even if it’s over, there are still many questions that keep floating in my mind like: What is Wander’s real name? Where did he come from? How did he and Sylvia met each other? How did Hater ever became a villain? How did Hater met Peepers? What is The Space Normand? How was Wander supposed to be tested? Who is the space chimp and his mysterious spaceship? Whatever happened to Lord Dominator after her defeat? Who was going to be the main villain of Season 3? There are so many unsloved questions about this show and I think it DESERVES a third season to warp it all up! Who knows.

I’m crossing my fingers that I hope Wander gets added onto Disney+ in the future.

Keep on wandering, space cowboy.

#Wander Over Yonder #Treading 27th #Save WOY #Season 3 Saturday #Aslo for the other topic for this month about Wander helping you.#I would LOVE Wander to help me around with my chores!#It’ll get the work ten times faster!

For your D&D character meme, how 'bout odds for Talise, evens for Tamsyn, and the letter C? :D

Had a feeling this revenge was coming XD *cracks knuckles* Here we go!

1) What would they consider to be their biggest failure?

Talise: Oof. Maybe not being able to save her family, or at least her sister-in-law and nephew. Maybe her (former) deep reliance on alcohol once her memories started coming back. Trauma is a motherfucker

2) What’s the story behind their name?

Tamzen: When it comes to naming characters, I really just start thinking of names that stick out. It started with “Tiernan”–from Pirate Queen–and I must have watched an episode of The Tudors with Tamsin Merchant to remember that name, too. “Tamsin” kept sounding best with the character concept and then the spelling changed to “-zen” as a subtle joke since she’s a monk haha

3) What’s their relationship with their family?

Talise: When she was Hosanna, very close. They all loved learning (though maybe different things), the people in their city, and each other. She was closest to her brother, Yanis, despite their age difference. She felt adrift without a family unit, having a ship and crew helped, and finding Yanis has upset any equilibrium she was finding.

4) What’s one song that describes them or is them?

Tamzen: Not many peeps know this, but she was built to be the personification of the “Morgan: Amor Tristis (or Morgan - Amor Tristis on Spotify)” instrumental from the Ah! My Goddess movie. My all-time favorite instrumental and it suits her story.

5) Who is their best friend?

Talise: Expanding on the Yanis thing, he was her best friend growing up. So the years in which she thought he was dead and that she failed him were rough…but she was working towards a place of resignation…then they found him alive. It’s super weird now because yes, her brother used to be able to embarrass her; but now, it’s the first time she’s ever felt shame. Hosanna, while sharing a small flair for the dramatic, was a very different person than Talise was crafted to be. But in the party, Jax is the closest to a best friend, no contest.

6) Why are they their class?

Tamzen: She ran away from the city after her heartbreak and stumbled across a traveling group of mousefolk. Most of them were monks but since she stayed with the leader and his wife (the only ones with stuff able to house a larger humanoid), they were the ones who taught her as a way to find calm and take back a sense of control.

7) What do they think of their party members?

Talise: She feels distinct lines in the sand. At first, they seemed only about their sleeping habits (there was no other way the rooming arrangements could have shaken out and everyone live). But now, it feels very much like two separate factions working together. Separately: Q- she’s terrified of everything she does being in that book, and she has a hard time wrestling with his innocent naiveté when it reminds her of who she used to be. Briony- Not used to being around women in a strictly friendship sense, but is happy for her presence so Q has someone of a similar maturity. Braxton- He’s rarely there. Jax- They instinctually understand each other. It’s complicated but in a good way. Caspian- Like recognizes like but she feels they have different motivations behind collecting information…and it’s hard for her to move beyond a betrayal of trust.

8) In what ways are they similar to you?

Tamzen: Extremely calm under pressure, thinks she’s never good enough to be significant to anyone enough to not leave her, thoughtful gift-giver, gives herself for others until there’s nothing left, can have an accidentally sharp sense of humor, deep well of feeling and protectiveness for those she considers “hers”

9) In what ways are they different from you?

Talise: Unashamed in the way she moves through the world, unabashedly flirtatious and teasing, confident, how she copes with things (tends to be physical indulgences), seeing trust as black and white, unafraid of confrontation or large birds

10) What do they look for in a romantic partner, if they have a romantic orientation?

Tamzen: Someone who doesn’t see her as second best or not enough. Someone she doesn’t need to take care of but who can take care of her. Tamzen has a competency kink a mile wide; so if they’re even-keeled, stronger, a better fighter, and extremely skilled in what they do…they’re definitely her type. She’s a pretty quiet person, so they need to be comfortable with silence and understand things unsaid as she’s very action-oriented. You can tell a lot about how she feels about someone based on her actions, not her words. They also need to love her son.

11) If they had a patronus or animagus form, what would it be?

Talise: Ooooooooo….idk. Maybe a panther animagus? Something that slinks around with confidence but can be very soft. Patronus would be a cat like Talis or a hippogriff like Fantôme…or a peafowl.

12) What do they smell like?

Tamzen: Orange blossoms and vanilla, with hints of herbs that can be used medicinally (eg: lavender, tea tree, etc)

13) What is their secret skill?

Talise: Sketching/drawing. She’s intensely private about it; but has charcoal, pencils, and a sketchbook in her pack that’s rather like a diary.

14) What is their relationship to spirituality?

Tamzen: Complicated haha. She’s a “tsuki kitsune” and I tweaked that to mean she’s a fox blessed by the goddess of love with the potential of becoming “human.” Her “parents” are the guardians of a special, unknown spot in a forest the goddess has declared sacred; there to take care of the clearing and of any creature blessed by it…and Tamzen was a fox spawned there. Anyways, so even as a fox, she was engrained with this strong belief in the goddess and had an awareness of her presence; but then something devastating happened with the person Tamzen thought she was fated to be with–who had been the cause of her transformation. Ever since, Tamzen has had a tumultuous time with the idea of love…much less having firm faith in her goddess, because she feels betrayed. She’s slowly trying to repair her side of the relationship through making sure her friends find love; but she still thinks she’s been abandoned by someone she had absolute faith in, so she’s weary.

15) If they were to be remembered for something, what would they want to be remembered for?

Talise: NOT like what they were shouting at Hosanna. She’d like to be remembered, in general, rather than lost to lines in a book. She wants people to speak of her and the small amount of goodness she’s put into the world.

16) Why did they become an adventurer?

Tamzen: Happenstance led to her becoming a monk…and she needed additional discipline to try to silence the rage and nastiness brewing inside of her, so she joined the army. The adventuring grew from that.

17) What’s one thing about their backstory that came to you after you already started playing the campaign?

Talise: THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. One notable thing–I hadn’t even thought about her being an alcoholic (sober now) until making her playlist. For some reason, “Chandelier” kept coming up and it had to have been a sign because it’s deepened her in ways I wasn’t expecting. Also her tattoos.

18) Do you have any headcanons for them that haven’t come up in game? Or headcanons for other party members?

Tamzen: Totes! She plays the lute only for Tal or when she needs to really think through something–frequently those moments are one in the same when he’s playing outside. Her internal crisis over always being second best and slowly being resigned to it. Party members: Mama: they sometimes read together (even though Tamzen doesn’t like to read), trade skills (Mama helps her build strength and she helps Mama with flexibility), and that Mama has to spend extra time in front of a mirror before going to a fancy event to take in the fact that this is her life now and she gets to wear these pretty things and be feminine. Kerrick: that he’ll sometime have ink in his hair from running his fingers through it while copying down spells. TBD: thinks it’s hilarious how he still hasn’t had to explain his name and has a running bet with himself over it. Finn: she catches Tal speaking squeakspeak to Finn while playing and Finn just going with it and trying to learn the game through context instead.

19) Any ships with your character? If a PC or NPC, what interaction launched it?

Talise: YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE, SHIPPY MCSHIPPERSON xD. She’s the first character in a LONG time I legit ship with another PC. Whether it becomes romantic or remains platonic (it’s not just up to me or Talise), Jax is the most significant person in her life–excluding her brother. They just got each other from day one and they seem to be the only ones able to easily talk to the other, even when the subject is difficult. The canon you created about her feeling safe with Jax is 100% true; ever since Before, she has a hard time sleeping around other people but she trusts him enough to even share a bed…and he’s the only one with whom she would never be anything but truthful. At their core, they are people reinventing themselves after tragedy but don’t know if they’re doing it right. But Jax makes Talise feel it’s alright to be who she authentically is rather than acting the part she’s written for herself; and to find joy again in the things from her past. The ship’s legit launch was after their serious conversation about “equivalent exchange” in relationships (about Caspian) and has since been buoyed by all their side chats + interactions. “…are you just going to stare at me?” “Until you’re ready.”

20) What would your character consider their biggest success? Or what is your favorite success your character has had so far?

Tamzen: Tal and facing Silas again. She’s really surprised me in how she’s been able to grow to where she is now…so that’s an awesome success because it feels like there’s still more growing for her to do emotionally. But the ultimate success EVER was the gift of the hearthstone to Mama. It was canon lore created on the fly and it was so meaningful and has become a cornerstone of Tamzen’s character.

Letter C:

Smartest- Talise and Syl are the most booksmart; Calla is the wisest about people (followed by Talise and Tamzen); Vi is the smartest about how to use people for her advantage; Mireth is the most diplomatically savvy.Most Attractive- Tamzen is that annoying woman who looks beautiful even without makeup (#blessed) but isn’t necessarily sexy like Talise is. From there it’s Mireth (that half elf/half fae glowup), Calla (aasimar moon baby), Lady Vi (moon elf tall, slim model build), Evi (Italian witchy woman), and then Syl (striking but not always considered beautiful).Hogwarts- Ravenclaws are Talise and Syl. Slytherins are Lady Vi and Evi. Hufflepuffs are Calla and Mireth. Gryffindor is Tamzen.

Any recomendation?

I want to make a ReiMob/MobRei Video with a Vocaloid song

-or others in Japanese (will be j-pop with rock or something like that) Don’t Cantarella because I aready did some video with that song neither Magnet because I was making another with that one (I stop the proyect... like 4 years but I still want to continue it)

(like those ones that are... not totally animations (?) but somehow the images make a history? I’ve made one FrUK long time ago (years) and one about MP100 -with bikini sports ponching alsdkdontjudgemejalskdj just because it makes me laught-)

About it being “ReiMob” or “MobRei”, I LOVE BOTH!!! Q^Q <3 <3 <3 !!!

But I prefer “ReiMob”, even that I will make it like... “switching” (?) Because for me these two are that kind of pairings, don’t really minding about who tops, or even if one wants to tops the oher doesn’t bother -well, that will depend of the situation (?)- and if the other wants... the same.

A boring (?) draw of them together to add something to the post (?)

pd: Probably I will finish the video in half year

[because... Not Important things, just me venting]

I go back to college! -I left it like 8months, I’m on the last... “ciclos”(How do you say that in english? It’s not “cicles”) I feel nervous TT_TT. I’m already a Graphic Designer graduated, but Software engineer is something really different, I’m not talking about the courses or the effort, It’s about feeling confident (?)...

It’s funny, in my college you can ask for courses of others careers and I already take ones of Sciences of the Computation to make games, Why I do that if I feel insecure with my own career?

xD HAHAHA... I’m a mess TT-TT... a thash really, In fandom terms (?) I will be a “Pandajoshi” [you know, Fujoshi is despective, and it’s because they act inmature about liking yaoi, for example, they harass boys to fangirl about that, Pandajoshi instead means “mature woman” and involves not harassing people for that] but because “Fujoshi” means “rotten woman” I felt like it’s more for me

xDDD HAHAHA... yes, I feel like a mess..gosh, even If I can go to the hospital I didn’t go there for 5 years... I’m really triying to be better... [If you ask me, It’s for Zen (?),that MysMe character... I really love him and I want to felt like someone worthy of him (?)]

When I was a kid I was a lot like Mob.... now I’m more like Regen [about being a bit disaster (?) but good person... at least I thing I’m a not bad person (?)] but I wish I had his ability to speak, Is really hard to me even trying to star a conversation.

Thanks for read (?) Bye uwu

#reimob #mobrei #the postscript? has nothing to do with the ship #venting #Switch is the best oh yea oh yeah (???)

Finally, I was able to finish my drawing right on Zen's birthday! It took me a week since I'm just starting but I put as much effort as I could. This is my message for Zen:

I always thought that these types of games were not my style and I did not need them, I thought that they were just any other game to hang out with if you were bored.

I discovered the game in September 2016, the same year as its launch. For personal reasons I didn't feel that I had the attention I deserved either in my home or in my school, there were enough problems in my house that someone of my age could not solve or do anything about it. I discovered the game by a friend I had on Facebook, she published many times about the game and I said "Why not?" XD thought it would be a good way to kill time and have fun but I never thought I'd be marked in any way.

When I started playing it caught my attention, it was really fun to talk with everyone in each chat and I always wanted to call them all but I didn't have enough hourglasses ;-; I responded to their messages as fast as I could and tried not to be bad with none. I let myself be guided by the design of the characters, the first boy I liked was Jumin and now it turned out to be one of the least I like XD and I realized that I could not play his route so I went for the of Zen first. Follow his games when he was narcissist or see when he was fighting with Jumin was really funny, I liked him a lot as well as I loved that he's an actor, singer, dancer, he knows how to play the piano, among other things... It was catching my attention more and more until I didn't want to lose a single chat in the game.

His route came to my heart because his family didn't support him with his dreams and still wanted to go ahead and fulfill it, he gave me a lesson that I should not give up even if my own family doesn't support me. My emotional state improved and then I tried the other routes only to realize that Zen's route, his evolution, his affection, his personality, etc... He was the one I liked the most, let's say that no other person came to like me like him. Maybe I obsessed something with him but I didn't want to bother anyone with that or anything, it was a secret love (? Haha. I started having dreams with him and every time I woke up from one I felt really good until the end of the day.

I wanted to be like him, I wanted that despite all the problems I could go ahead with my goals and dreams and partly I wanted some of his confidence and self-esteem, it was a great motivation for me and that's how I started to build my own path. I play his route again and again and to this day I never tire of it, now that I can start to fulfill one of my dreams (which is to draw for others) I thank him, he motivated me to want to make my own drawings, I wanted to make drawings of him and many other things and I will not give up to make professional drawings. I also want to learn to sing and dance like him! Step by step I will achieve the things I want.

His DLC of the day of the innocents touched my heart besides it was very funny, this April 1 I will play it too! His ending "Crossing over dimensions to you" made me cry, it really was like a crush to the heart. His phrase "I hope you're not making a sad face. Is the one I always remember when I feel bad, it helps me a lot to cheer up and I can feel how sincere he is with his feelings there.

When I think of that phrase, I think he would not like to see me that way, he would not feel good to see that I'm letting myself be overcome by the things of my life. He promises that one day we can see each other and so I think it will be and if it is not possible, I know that it is someone who marked a moment of my life. I will always smile for you, Zen.

Many thanks to Jang Kim for giving that beautiful voice to Zen! I also made his April Fool’s version, sorry Zen!

Mystic Party

I previously made a post about the invitations, and in this post I’m going to literally go through everything I remember about the party while it’s still fresh in my mind! ;)

A bit of a warning that this will be one heck of a long and detailed post with lots of information and images and links! This post is also going to include a lot more of my personal experiences and feelings rather than the more neutral info dumping, because this event was so major and I’m treating this a bit like a “diary entry” for myself ^___^

I’ve used subheadings to organise everything so that you can skip what you don’t care about or just read the specific part you’re interested in. *If you only want to read about the Rika and Vanderwood Route, it’s in the “SPECIAL GUEST SUJIN RI” section!

But if you’re in for the whole experience, it’s gonna be a LONG ride. So buckle up and let’s go! ;)

ARRIVING

The party was held on 23rd August from 1pm to 4pm, on the 5th floor of a fancy place that’s usually reserved for wedding receptions and other formal occasions, so we were told to dress decently :) No need to go all-out and wear a formal gown or anything (though some people really did!), but you needed to be well-dressed xD Oh, and cosplays weren’t allowed!

Lining up to enter the banquet hall!

Once you get in, the staff members will verify your identity to make sure you’re the person registered (so strict!). They also ask you to draw a card with a character on it for the “game” and give you a bunch of forms/cards needed for later and an RFA paper bag with your gifts.

Lining up to have your identity verified and to collect all the prizes and information you’ll need. Hello there, V.

Each table has a character emoji, which is also the emoji printed on your seat number card. My card had Zen’s emoji (YASSS), and my seat was in the very front row and right at the edge.

Our table. (My seat is no. 16)

A good thing because I can see things clearly and eavesdrop on the hosts/staff members/cosplayers when they’re waiting to go onstage, but a bad thing because sometimes the official photographers and news journalists try to take pictures or film stuff and block my view >.<” (Yes, there were news journalists from actual TV broadcasting stations because the event was such a big deal! :O)

GAMES

The first 50 minutes were for people to arrive, settle, buy merch, and most importantly, do the little “game” thing they prepared.

Seat card with Zen’s sparkly emoji, form for if you want to buy merch, and the card that lists the rules of the game. (Forgot to take a close-up... >.<)

Basically there are five “official cosplayers” playing the RFA members. They’ll be on the stage, and you go to the character you drew at the beginning for a short “game”. If you pass/win the game, they’ll stamp your card, and you can then go and put your card into the box corresponding to your favourite character (not necessarily the one you played the game with). The boxes will be used for raffles later where they’ll draw out names for prizes or for people to go up onstage for more “intimate” character interactions.

People playing their game with the character they got.

If you win your game, you come and put your stamped card in one of these boxes!

The card I picked out was Jaehee’s. I won’t deny that I was a bit disappointed (I DO LOVE BAEHEE I JUST LOVE THE MEN MORE DON’T KILL ME PLEASE), but after reading the instruction card and going through the game, I’m kind of glad I got her xD All characters have different games (win at paper-scissors-rock against Jumin, correctly answer a random times table question from Seven, draw a card and hope your number is bigger than Zen’s, beat Yoosung at “seaweed paper-scissors-rock”, or correctly answer Jaehee’s question about a random RFA member’s eye colour). 707′s and Jaehee’s are the only ones that weren’t left up to chance and the questions were easy, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to pass. Also, the male characters were pretty... “touchy”? For the fanservice, if you get what I mean? Like they might put their hands on your waist or bend down and talk to you really “intimately” xD

There are a bunch of standees on the right side of the stage. You line up in front of the character you’ll be playing your game with, and when they’re done with a player, you’ll be called up for your turn.

You line up like this for your turn at the mini game (which I didn’t have to do ;D)

To be honest, the “interaction with the cosplayers” thing was the part I cared for the least before coming; these characters are 2D, and no matter how good the cosplayers are, I’d personally prefer to keep them 2D in my mind xD

But then the Jaehee cosplayer personally came down the stage and approached me to ask if I needed assistance! I have no idea why or how she was allowed to leave her post and come to me? Maybe because I looked very confused, since my Chinese isn’t SUPER GOOD and the staff member explained the game rules to me very quickly and concisely ^^;; And when Jaehee saw that my card had her emoji on it, she was like, “Oh, then you’ll be interacting with me!” and explained the rules of the game to me again more slowly. By then I was pretty much like, “Eh, may as well” xD I didn’t go up the “normal” way by lining up on the right in front of the standees, because Baehee was already with me, so she literally took my hand and walked back up on the stage with me from the left side ahahaha I’m special :P The cosplayer was really nice and had a “big sister” feel, so it really was kind of like how I imagined Jaehee to be ^^

This is only a small detail, but I found it quite interesting that the cosplayer didn’t touch me until I explicitly said “Okay” to the game/interaction. I guess maybe there really are people who are uncomfortable with doing lovey-dovey and touchy stuff with strangers (since the characters are just regular people cosplaying). I found it quite nice that they were careful to respect people’s boundaries and only proceeded to touch you in any way when you’ve explicitly said yes :)

The games take place on the stage, but everyone’s doing their own thing, so it’s not like anyone was watching. Anyway, after leading me onto the stage and her position/place, Jaehee asked me who my favourite character was. Obviously Saeran isn’t an option here, so I said 707. Then she goes, “Okay, I’m going to test you! Can you tell me the colour of 707′s eyes?” And I’m like “yellow” (man, is it gold or yellow), and since the 707 cosplayer wasn’t doing their game with someone at the time, Jaehee goes, “707, come here,” points to their eyes (coloured contacts LOL) and says, “Yes, yellow! Okay, you pass!” She then leads me to the side of the stage (we were meant to leave ourselves ajksfh;asj why is Jaehee so niceee) and tells a staff member that I passed so I get my card stamped.

Then you come to this box area, and after you’ve written your in-game name and phone number on the card, you’re asked to put it into the box corresponding to the character of your choice. I knew that putting it in 707′s box would be an unwise decision, since that box would be filled with cards and you’d get a lower chance of winning anything, but Zen, my next-favourite, is almost just as popular in Taiwan xD So I went ahead and shoved my card into the 707 box anyway ahaha :P (A decision I would later regret as I didn’t win a single thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

The adorable emoji boxes! You put your stamped card into the box corresponding to your favourite character.

There were also a lot of small interactions between the cosplayers when they were idly waiting for their next player, and they were super in-character <3 Jumin brushed the huge paw-shaped cardboard sign he was holding against Zen’s hair and Zen literally flinched, patted down his hair, and turned around to glare at him xD Seven pulled at Yoosung’s suspenders and even stuck his head in to annoy and eavesdrop on Jumin when he was trying to have a serious conversation with Jaehee xD These cosplayers really know their characters well haha :D

FOOD

They also served food and drinks :) The highlight was obviously the original HONEY BUDDHA (TECHNICALLY “BUTTER”) CHIPS. I was pretty excited to finally try actual HBCs in real life, and I must say that the taste was... very oily and buttery? xD I mean, they are Honey Butter Chips, so I’m not sure what I was expecting, but the butter taste was a lot stronger than I thought it would be xD It’s nice, but I can’t imagine myself eating more than half a bag at once before I start feeling a bit gross/sick xD Seriously, how does Seven eat so much O___O

Finished my game with Baehee, and now settled with my juice and cake and Honey Buddha Chips.

OFFICIALLY STARTING

Waiting for the hosts to officially start the party!

The two hosts (more like MCs, but we all know that “MC” has a whole different meaning for MM fans, so I’m going to stick with “host” xD) are pretty popular among the Taiwanese MM fandom. They do weekly live streams/videos on the official Facebook page, where they talk about MM, upcoming events, joke around, and do raffles for MM merch. They’ve sort of become the unofficial “faces” of MM in Taiwan, and most of the Taiwanese MM fans (myself included) love them, so it was a real treat to see them in person! For this post, I’m going to call the female host “Cuby” and the male host “Fatty”, since that’s a direct translation of their Chinese nicknames (meaning “cube/square” and “fat”) and they’ve used these translations themselves at some point.

At 2pm, the lobby theme (“Mystic Chat”) finally stops playing and is replaced by Yoosung’s second theme, “Silly Smile Again”. Cuby goes onstage, talks a bit, and officially starts the party.

She then tells everyone that because this party is supposed to be “full of mysteries and surprises”, we should all check under our chairs! The chairs were covered in fancy silky fabric, so we had to dig under that. And SURPRISE! Each seat had a random sticker sheet stuck inside (the ones that come with the emoticon cushions), and it’s yours to keep! Cue intense screaming and fangirling throughout the whole room, to the point where the host had to put her mic down because she couldn’t talk over the screaming and she failed at getting us to calm down xD I got a 707 sticker sheet YASSSSS!!! (I could feel the envious stares of other people on my table hur hur nope not trading with any of you :P) And I just got the Ray stickers with my Ray emoticon cushion a few days ago ;___; Come with me, Saeyoung, I have your brother at home and I will reunite the two of you <3

The 707 stickers hidden under my chair!

After that, the opening video was played to signal the start of the party! I’ve watched that video countless times by now, but seeing it blasted through huge speakers and played on a giant screen gave me all the feels, and it was cute when Cuby cued everyone to sing along haha <3

The feelsssss ;___;

And when you think the next segment is officially starting, the lights dim again, the intro of the OP comes on once more, Cuby goes “Wth is going on?”, the big screen splits and opens, and Fatty enters with much fanfare, singing the Chinese version of the song xD

So much LOL (and yes, I will always snap a picture when Saeran shows up on the screen)

Cue everyone screaming and cheering for him (because this guy is so hilarious and therefore super popular). He even had a rose, which he threw to the girl sitting next to me. Guess I’m too close to the edge for him to bother reaching LOL

SPECIAL GUEST SUJIN RI (RIKA AND VANDERWOOD ROUTE INFO IN THIS SECTION)

They then played an exclusive video that featured all the VAs (minus Saeran, Rika, and Vanderwood), Han (the singer of the theme songs), some Cheritz staff members and Sujin Ri (founder of Cheritz and creator of Mystic Messenger) greeting and thanking Taiwanese fans. They’d teased that there would be a special guest coming to this party from Korea, and it was none other than Sujin Ri herself!!!

Sujin Ri in her adorable cherry dress <3

Sujin Ri is so cute! xD She spoke a bit of English, but most of her longer speeches and answers were in Korean, so she had a translator with her. The event planners had put together a list of questions that they knew everyone would be curious to know, and the hosts read out the questions one by one while Sujin Ri answered them onstage!

Q: “Why did you create this game? How did you come up with the script?” A: It was a long answer, but she basically said that she took a long break after her first two games and was wondering if she should continue. She then decided to make a mobile game, and wanted it to be more “relatable” for players, so came up with the idea of a messaging app! She also said something about how she really likes watching American shows and dramas, so a lot of her inspiration came from those. One of the hosts joked that American movies often have hackers, so maybe that’s why MM has a hacker (or two) :P

Q: Will there be a chance to release a Rika Route? A: She basically said something like (paraphrased), “The Taiwanese version hasn’t released V’s and Unknown’s stories yet, but they have been released in Korea [she didn’t say internationally, for some reason] and lots of Rika’s secrets were revealed. There will be more in the future, so please look forward to it.” The reactions were mixed, just like with the international fandom. Some people were frowning and shaking their heads, but there were definitely some people who cheered and clapped lol. Guess Rika is a controversial character in every country xD (Fatty revealed in the Facebook Live After Party that when he asked her, “Yes? Or no?” she replied, “Maybe!”) But yeah, her answer was vague and her words in no way confirm a Rika Route. But to me, just the fact that the party planners chose and put this question in the script seems to be a pretty clear indication that it’s probably going to happen...? Like, why tease something that isn’t going to be an actual thing? I dunno, maybe it’s just me reading too much into it and trying to be smart, so don’t quote me on an official confirmation for a Rika Route; I’m just relaying what I heard and sharing my own interpretation ^^;;

Q: Will there be a chance for the VAs to come to Taiwan? A: “Yes!” Short and sweet, so I take that as a sign that there might be more official MM events in Taiwan in the future! (My poor wallet...)

Q: Will there be plushie merchandise released in the future? A: Possibly! Again, not a direct confirmation, but just like with the Rika Route question, I take that as a pretty good sign that it might happen since they bothered to mention it! Dunno if it will be released internationally or be another Taiwan-only merch, though... (Either way, my wallet is crying again.)

Q: Please release LINE stickers with sound! A: “Good idea!” (in English!) Taiwanese people use the messaging app LINE a lot, and although there’s been two official MM sticker sets released, a lot of people have been wanting a version that has the characters’ voices (like how it is in the game).

Then they said there was time for ONE question from ONE fan in the audience, and a girl’s arm shot up so quickly that she was picked before I even had a chance to move my hand lmao xD But no worries, because it turns out that her question is exactly what I was going to ask! She takes the mic and speaks the holy words, “Will you consider making a Vanderwood Route?” CUE THE INSANE SCREAMS OF A BANQUET HALL-FULL OF THIRSTY MCS. INCLUDING ME. Seriously, the reaction was IMMEDIATE and the screams were RIDICULOUSLY LOUD. I hope the volume and intensity was enough to convince Sujin Ri that Vanderwood really is that popular and how much we really would love to have his route ;___; And her answer was basically (again, paraphrased), “Vanderwood wasn’t even meant to be an official character, but we ended up adding him into the game. I never expected him to get so popular, and since everyone loves him so much, I will take note of this and discuss with the company the possibility of making a route for him in the future.” NO OTHER WORDS NEEDED. EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO CRY TEARS OF JOY. THERE IS HOPE. And it’s even better because we now know for sure that the creator herself is the one who heard us and said those words ;___;

They then drew out some names for fans to go up and receive a gift and take a group photo with Sujin Ri. Two fans got a set of cards (game CGs) with the VAs’ autographs, and three fans got the official RFA badge set!

COSPLAYERS

So the official cosplayers had left the room after the games and were away during all this. After Sujin Ri left the stage and took her seat at her table, the hosts “officially” welcomed the cosplayers in for the first time!

(They’re just cosplayers and they’re actually all female, but for the purpose of this post, I’m just going to use the pronoun of the character they’re portraying and use the characters’ names as though they really are the character.)

They enter one by one with a rose and give it to a random fan. No chance for me because they entered through the aisle in the middle of the hall and I’m right at the edge at the front xD Jumin gave his rose normally, Jaehee didn’t give hers away (I’ll explain why later), Seven and Yoosung threw theirs to reach fans that were further back (still not far enough for me T_T), and Zen got down on his knee Zen-style and handed it to a lucky fan.

The RFA members (well, cosplayers) are formally introduced for the first time!

Once they’re all onstage, the members introduce themselves one by one (which was when I found out that they were all women as soon as they spoke xD) and answer some quick questions from the hosts. While it wasn’t top-notch acting or anything, the cosplayers were very much in character the whole time. The way they stood, their expressions, their manner of speech, their interactions with each other, everything was just like the character they were supposed to be, so props to them for that!

Jumin was asked why he didn’t bring Elizabeth the 3rd! Just as he was about to start talking, 707 cuts in and says, “Yeah, where’s Elly? Why didn’t you bring my Elly? She’s mine!” xD Jumin basically brushed him off (”She’s not yours!”) and said it’s because there’s a flu going around and he didn’t want her to get sick =^.^= The hosts kept jokingly begging him to please not purchase and merge their company with C&R xDDD Jumin also said that he’d like Zen to model for his cat food commercial, and the look on Zen’s face was priceless LOL xD (Zen said only if either the cat is put in plastic wrap or they just get a fake 3D cat instead xD)

Jaehee was asked why she still had her rose with her, and she said it’s because she wants to give it to Zen!!! It was super cute, and Yoosung and Seven were making love heart gestures behind them when she gave the rose to him xD But then Zen asked if he could give the rose to “one of the ladies down there” LOL WAY TO SHATTER BAEHEE’S HEART ZEN YOU AKSDJFHA;SKJ XDDD

Zen asking to give Jaehee’s rose to a fan. ZEN WHY XD

They chose a Jaehee fan from the crowd (a middle-aged man!!!) and Jaehee and Zen handed the rose to him together, which was really cute :) Jaehee also complained about her boss’ cat’s fur getting everywhere, that she was still using tape to get rid of them before coming in xD The hosts asked her if she realised her boss was standing right beside her, and she asked him for a raise. Jumin said, “For what you said just then, no.” xDDD They also asked her if she recommends any cafes. Jaehee said that while she enjoys Starbucks, the cafe she recommends is “The Who”, which is the one that has the MM collaboration going on right now lololol not-so-subtle advertising ;)

707 teased Fatty and said that he knows everything about him, and started listing his personal info, like his job, his height etc. But when he was about to reveal his weight, Fatty apologised for teasing and questioning “God Seven’s” abilities as a hacker and begged for forgiveness LOL xD

Yoosung was asked about his future plans, like whether or not he was planning to continue working for Jumin’s company. Yoosung said that rather than a career, he’s more interested in being a good husband ;) He wants to find a kind and pretty wife and have three kids, and even revealed the names he wants to give them xD (They’re all to do with stars, since Yoosung’s name means “Shooting Star” ^^) Such a cutie, and very Yoosung-like <3

Zen was last, and they asked him what he thought about Jumin LOL xD He admitted that he used to hate him, but now he thinks he’s actually a pretty nice guy ^^ The hosts then asked the two to “hug and make up” OMG. Cue the fangirl screams xD I feel like they know about the JuZen ship and are fueling it a bit xD Jumin walked towards Zen with his arms out, and Zen reluctantly went in for the hug xD They literally twirled around on the spot, with Zen keeping his hands OFF Jumin’s back despite having his arms around him, and the hug ended when Seven tried to put their heads together and make them kiss LOLLL. Seven and Yoosung were cheering and making love heart gestures (THEY SHIP IT), while Jaehee was filming it on her phone xD

JuZen huggles!!! (featuring shippy YooSeven and fangirl Jaehee)

After that, they basically had all the characters draw cards from those five emoji boxes, and the people chosen would go up onstage and draw a random ball with a number on it. Each number comes with some cheesy/romantic interaction (e.g. a romantic dance, holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes for 10 seconds, a hug and a pat on the head, being fed Pocky etc.), and the player would then do this with their character while everyone watches in envy. I won’t upload any photos of these moments to respect the privacy of the fans, but I will and have cropped out YooSeven in the background mirroring the romantic moments with each other! It’s like they’re all aware of the fandom’s main ships and are fueling them xD

YooSeven dances and snuggles!!!

One of Seven’s fans picked out “being fed Pocky”, but being God Seven, he immediately said, “I don’t want any of that! *signals a staff member* Could you bring that over for me? The one I brought myself!” What else could he be talking about xD

707 awkwardly struggling to open a Honey Buddha Chip bag onstage xD

They also get to take a polaroid pic with the cosplayer at the end. And since Fatty is known to be really generous and is always “adding more” to raffles and games, he allowed like at least another 10 or so fans to be drawn for a polaroid with a character of their choice :)

And Jaehee herself also asked if she could have a polaroid with Zen! xD

Zen and Jaehee posing for a polaroid, featuring an unamused Jumin.

By the way, Cuby is a HUGE Jumin fangirl and she got a turn with the Jumin, too! xD

"Ju-Jumin... I... I’m willing to raise Elizabeth the 3rd with you—KYAAAAHHH~~~” (That’s exactly what she said ;D)

They then got Sujin Ri to come onstage again and draw more lucky winners who’ll receive the card set with the VAs’ autographs. Fatty also drew a bunch of people to win a Taiwan-exclusive cushion (or the space cushion for 707 because they ran out of his Taiwan cushions). Amazing that there were so many things drawn at random and I didn’t manage to get a single one LOLLL XD

I managed to snap a picture of the cosplayers as they were leaving the stage for a break. They literally walked right by me (because of the convenient position of my seat), and Jumin and Yoosung even waved and posed xD

CHARITY AUCTION

It was later revealed that a part of the money they raised for this party would be donated to an official animal protection association in Taiwan, just like how the RFA parties are for a good cause ^^ They even played a video about the association we were donating to (lots of sad and abandoned puppies ;___;) complete with “I Miss Happy Rika” as background music.

Additionally, they bring on three extra standees for auction, and all the money from the auction would be donated to charity, too! I love MM but I don’t want a standee LOL so I just sat back and watched xD They only had Yoosung, Jumin, and Zen, and I got a picture of the prices they were each sold for (all in NTD):

I’m still shook that the Zen standee was able to sell for NT$9900!!!!! That’s like... *throws it into Google to convert* $322-ish USD!!!!! Insane but also very impressive! :D (Wonder how much a 707 standee could have gone for if they offered one haha)

Sujin Ri was so happy, and said that they would be sending them some kind of official donator’s badge from Korea for contributing to a good cause <3 The host even said that it’s amazing and really beautiful how a simple mobile game can grow to the point where so many people come together and do things to make the world a better place ^^ <333

ENDING

After the auctions, the party came to an end ;___; They played “Like the Sun in the Sky” as the ED and listed all the people who helped to make the party happen. But then they said that “special thanks” go to the fans who attended, and literally typed out ALL of our names in the credits! <3 The hosts picked out random names to read, like “Thank you _____! Thank you _____!” including mine, so I guess that was the only thing I got picked for today LOL XD

Cuby reading out my name!

After that, they have an ending screen with the SNSplus and Cheritz logos, and when you think it’s all over, Fatty enters from the right of the screen (turns out to be a video) and tells us that they’re going to be releasing a big confetti ball to signify the end (one of those giant balls that explode and then confetti falls out).

A wild Fatty appears!

I was expecting a huge ball to explode in the middle of the hall or on the screen, but when the Fatty in the video says “GO!” instead we get “I just got your messages!” again. Turns out he TROLLED US, and instead, they played a self-made, absolutely hilarious and utterly stupid but amazing “music video” of Fatty himself singing the OP XDDD Needless to say, the entire room was a laughing MESS XDDDDD

(Not sure how interested the international fandom would be because Fatty really is more of a Taiwanese MM fandom favourite, but if you are, there will be a link at the end of this post with appropriate timestamps for anyone who would like to witness this... glorious mistake of a video xDDD)

They also ended the event by taking a big group photo together! I managed to get pretty close to the front because my seat was so close to the photo spot already xD

All hosts, cosplayers, important guests, and 150-ish attendees! (Credits to the official Taiwanese Mystic Messenger Facebook Page.)

PHOTO TIME

After that, they said that they would allow a few minuets for people to take pictures with cosplayers, with each other, of the venue, basically anything. But unlike almost everyone who immediately STAMPEDED to line up for the cosplayers (especially 707), I raced to look for Sujin Ri!!! There were quite a few other people going for her, too, and she was taking photos with fans and signing people’s merch and stuff. I was able to speak to her in English, and simply asked, “Can I please take a photo with you?” She was super nice, and so was her translator, who ended up taking all the pictures for everyone who lined up xD Before I left, she told me, “Thank you for playing!” Ahhh she’s so cute <333

Major fangirling!!! (Yes, that is me in the white dress. I have officially revealed my face >_<)

I then went and selfie-d with the two hosts (because why not? :D), and then selfie-d with the standees for a second time. Yes, I am literally more interested in standees than cosplayers... To me, the standees were more “like” the characters? They’re 2D anyway, so I prefer to keep them that way rather than pretending that a person who isn’t them, is xD

And even after I was done with the standees there was still time. On my way back to my seat to clean up my belongings, I literally JUST SO HAPPENED to walk past the place that was the end of 707′s line. At this point, I kinda thought to myself, “I already paid for this party and I’m literally already standing in the queue, so may as well.” xDDD I did end up taking a selfie with the 707 cosplayer! I even decided to just go with it and asked him for a hug, too, and he told me to be careful on my way home :) Two possible responses: “Awww what a nice cosplayer she is ^^” and “OMGGGG I TOOK A SELFIE WITH SEVEN AND HUGGED HIM AND HE TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL ASD;KFJAHS;KJDA” May as well fully immerse myself in the experience and choose the latter ahahaha :P

After that, you were free to leave or make any final purchases at the merchandise section. The merch didn’t really appeal to me, so I only took pictures.

Cup holders and washi tape! They’re cute, but not really things I need or particularly want. I’m happy with just my Ray emoticon cushion and rubber keychain for now ^^

The RFA members are also standing at the exit and seeing everyone off!

Jumin even helped the fan who bid for his standee to bring it out of the hall. What a gentleman <3

Jumin waved goodbye to me as I was leaving, and 707 waved back when I turned for one last look ^^

GIFTS

I only really opened the paper bag once I got home, and inside were the gifts they promised!

The bag is huge!

You get a random big cookie with an RFA member’s face on it! I got a Jumin, and I would like to ask how anyone thinks I will be okay with eating this ;___;

My Juju cookie <3 You will eventually end up in my tummy ;~;

You also get a poster set that’s limited to this party only (there is no other way to get them)! I thought we would be getting one poster with all the characters, but no, they gave us five posters, one character each, separately :O

This is basically all the stuff I came home with haha <3

Overall, was it worth it? Yes, I think so ^^

The ticket was pretty expensive and the purchasing process was crazy and stressful, but I think it was worth the money and effort spent. The party was a lot more grand and fancy than I expected, and you could tell that they really did put a lot of effort into making it a really extravagant event. I did not come in expecting to meet Sujin Ri, and revealing that a lot of the money would be going to charity also made the party so much more meaningful <3 (I’m sure the RFA would be proud ;D) Of course, the experience would probably have been more unforgettable and rewarding if I had actually gotten drawn for just ONE of the many lucky draws they had LOL but I still had a great time and I’m just thankful that I got to attend such a fun and wonderful event <333

Not sure if they’ll be holding another one of these parties in other cities in Taiwan (or maybe in Hong Kong and Macau), but I’m pretty sure that this isn’t the last of these MM Taiwan events xD I hope my wallet can take it :P

Here is the official compilation video with footage from the party (featuring my embarrassing self being filmed selfie-ing with a 707 standee OH GOD WHY.) The caption on the video post also has a link to a Google Drive where you can look at some clearer photos taken by their staff members!

And here’s the “Mystic After Party” live video hosted by Cuby and Fatty. (Go to 2:20 [as in 2:20 REMAINING of the video, so about 40:35 minutes in] if you’re interested in watching Fatty’s music video xD Please imagine this video coming on with the shook-ness of a troll surprise when you’re expecting a confetti ball to pop out instead >.>)

If you’re still reading, I APPLAUD YOU :O LET’S BE FRIENDS! No, seriously, thank you for taking interest and reading until the end; I am so sorry that it’s so insanely long ^^;;

A Discussion with a Plush Connor - Nvtfoa Short Story.

Hello! I’m back and back at it again!. So let me start this off properly...

*ahem*

SALUTATIONS AND GREETINGS DENIZENS OF THE INTERNET! I’m Burst-Zen and I hope you all forgive me for the long hiatus, I didn’t have a computer to post anything or write anything with, and it was summer vacation for me so I hope you understand.

Both character design and concepts from Svtfoe are belonging to Disney and Disney XD.

Nvtfoa characters and concept designs both belong to @mrevaunit42 and @marionette-j2x I hope you all offer healthy criticism to help me flourish for my writing in the future, and I hope you all have a good day!

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

The light from the window peered into the room as the young princess stirred from her slumber, her rich brown hair frazzled and unorganized spread across her bed. She slowly opened her light blue eyes as her mental activity began to stir and aroused herself to look around the room haphazardly as she groaned in annoyance. The thought of picking herself up off her bed to get ready for the day seemed almost poisonous to her in a sense, as if the action would cause her unending, annoying, pain for all eternity.

Her sense of touch slowly came back to her, however, and she felt the soft fabric of something plush within her grasp. She brought it to her eyes as she revealed a small doll of a boy that was an avatar of a childhood friend… and whom she enjoyed the thought of sharing a life with one another every day.

Although she would never admit it to anyone, especially to the person previously mentioned.

She stared at the plush form of Connor, the soft white skin of his fabric, the messy black hair, black buttons that acted like eyes, a white T-shirt that held a crescent moon in the center, and dark legs that indicated black pants on the plush. Nova stared at the doll for a moment and sighed as she sat up to stretch her upper body and grabbed a phone that sat on a nightstand beside the bed.

Nova saw the time being only ten minutes until the alarm on the device went off. She sighed and looked back at the bed and flopped her head back down on the pillows, however, her vision soon took hold of the doll that she previously held in her grasp and grumbled.

“Nooooo…. You know I don't do mornings,” Nova said to the doll, “Especially if I wake up early.”

The doll simply stared while Nova kept speaking, “Yes I know It's my fault for staying up all the time, I couldn't have guessed that from the thousands of times you actually told me… The actual you, not the plush you.”

Nova face-planted herself in her pillow and sighed softly, “I don’t want to wake uuuuup.”

A sudden buzz was felt within her grasp and she reflexively looked at the front of her phone, and when she looked, she realized that there was a new text message with a profile picture eerily similar to the stuffed toy in

She was disgruntled at first, but the message read 'Connor: Nova? Can we talk?’

Nova sat up with new found interest, and minor hidden annoyance, as she sat up from laying down and hastily replied “Nova: I'm up, wassup?”

After a few moments, a reply came back that read, “Connor: I can't sleep. Something just keeps waking me up, Any ideas?”

Connor tapped her chin and tried to think of a response for him. Realizing she needed more to go on than simple vague words, she wrote “Nova: What's on your mind?”

Another awkward moment passed, and a reply was sent back after a minute “Connor: I keep thinking about plans for something, but I keep drawing blanks for how to do it.”

Nova rolled her eyes “Nova: Another invention?”

“Connor: Something like that”

She smiled and rolled her eyes as she turned to the doll and said, “Your so predictable, ya know that?” She turned back to the screen and replied with, “Nova: What is it?”

More time passed as Nova awaited for a reply, hints of curiosity and slight worry began to perculate within her mind as she looked back at the ‘friend’ that laid beside her and she said “Do you think that it's a secret project? Is that why he’s taking a little bit to reply?”

She pondered the thoughts for a moment as she began to imagine the what new construct Connor could have made, and what it could have possibly been. However, she soon stopped as she knew that guessing on a whim would be fruitless to know whatever he made in detail. The creation in question, she knew, would be too creative and unique to attempt something like that.

Just when she was about to think of leads to narrow down available options, another text appeared that read, “Connor: It's actually a Sonic screwdriver replica from the “Doctor Who” series that you like to watch with me whenever we hang out. It's taking me a while to find all the right metals to recreate the tenth’s screwdriver, like iron or the bronze…”

Nova’s eyes widened as the rest of the text spoke of various intricacies of what the aforementioned replica was made, and even what it would do. Her excitement began to build within her heart, and she even thought about yelling for joy in a pillow but decided against waking up her neighborhood.

She quickly regained part of her composure, failed, and then looked at her cellular phone to reply back with, “Nova: Really?!?! Why did you make it for me?!”

Nova's felt her chills around her body at the excitement of getting an expertly crafted, real working, and slightly functional Sonic screwdriver from the show. She typed once more before Connor could reply again “Nova: When can I see it?!?!”

Nova got a quick reply that simply read, “Connor: I was actually planning to give it to you today.” The next post was not a text, but instead a picture of the actual screwdriver nearing completion on a familiar work table proudly being displayed in the middle of various bits and pieces of machinery and metal.

Nova turned towards the makeshift plush version of her best friend to embrace it in a gentle hug with a warm smile on her face.

“Nova: AWESOME! I'll be at school right away then! Thanks, Connie!” She texted this whilst multitasking with both hands. Once more, she looked at the childhood memory and spoke as though she was staring at the real Connor.

“You're the best friend a girl could ask for, you know that?”

The sound of 'friend’ rang in her mind and her smile began to lessen slightly as certain thoughts were thrown into her mind unwillingly, and were thoughts she had before… Thoughts she’d rather have left buried in her soul… in the past...

But nothing she did ever stop the dreams. The ideas. The Love.

Sudden tension could be felt around her as she spoke without thinking, “I both hate and love the fact that I fel-”

RING! RING! - RING! RING!

Nova flinched as she looked at the phone she had placed beside her from picking up and hugging the plush of her friend. She stared at the phone as it continued it’s chime, staring at the picture of her and Connor smiling together behind the numbers that said ‘6:01a.m.’. Nova’s fingers whipped to grab the phone and turned the alarm off, annoyance and sadness fresh and lingering in her mind.

Nova didn't want to move as she picked up a bittersweet feeling from only a momentary series of actions. Still holding onto the Connor plushie, she got up from the bed and laid it next to a heart-shaped box that lay on a desk within her room.

She reflexively wiped something from her eyes and retorted within her mind saying, 'Some pollen might be around the house today…’

With a small smile, she walked out of the room and into the hallway, leaving the Connor plushie to watch light slowly close behind her, eventually having the room in darkness.

Expectation

So, my Beyond Words fic (Zen/Hyun Ryu x Cassandra Whilmer {OC}) has one scene only in my head at the moment that I really wanted to draw but it isn’t coming out right so... I know I can write decently so I’m gonna write it out. It’ll probably be the last chapter in the fic, but I wanted to write it now because it’s practically taken over my head recently. xD This will be from Zen’s POV so I can hide the surprise until. the. last. possible. moment. (tm) ;3

For those that haven’t read the fic (I hope you do check it out [here!]) I put English dialogue in italics and leave Korean in regular typeface. If you want to follow along with the song that’s included, here’s the link to the YouTube page for it. Also, this is gonna be REALLY long ‘cause I don’t really write short fic... so.. yeah. Strap in if you click on the “Read More”/”Keep Reading” bit. xD And if you really do like this long drabble, reblog it so other people can enjoy it too! ^_^

It had been almost half a year since Zen been able to visit America -- visit Cassandra, more importantly -- but he was here again. It had been upsetting that she wasn’t able to meet him at the airport this time, but she sent one of her friends in her stead so that he wasn’t alone. He could have handled it just fine by now and he told her several times but she wasn’t having any of it. Zen had long since learned that fighting her on simple things was a complete waste of energy so he simply went along with it unless it was something he was intensely opposed to and that had only happened once because she couldn’t have known his squick.

The truth was that she knew him so well that he found himself asking her for advice about what would suit him best. In this case, she’d suggested and set up something that he was surprised she thought he could do: playing Evan Hansen in a play called “Dear Evan Hansen”. It was a Broadway production and a romance title to boot so he was thrilled for that part, but he still wasn’t confident in his English. Not to mention that the lead was unsure, shy... things that he’d intentionally worked to stop being when he went out into the world on his own. This project made him feel like he was connecting with his formative years in a way he hadn’t before, which was both exciting and terrifying.

Cassandra had encouraged him for months to apply, even managing to sneak a copy of the script for the scene for the audition to him in order to help him feel confident and finally he did. She then got a copy of the song for the scene for him, which he found out later wasn’t too hard since they first round’s cast had already recorded a CD. Even if she’d had a shitty day, all she wanted to do for months was help him practice for this. She encouraged him every step of the way and made him laugh when he felt like shit trying to properly pronounce things. There was never a day where she didn’t impress him and he was grateful she was so devoted to him.

As he sat in the car, waiting to arrive at the theater, he remembered his last big interview back home. It was a few months ago, but since it was for a fairly big entertainment TV show it stuck in his memory. He remembered one particular part vividly: the female interviewer had asked him point blank if he was in a relationship and he’d been quick to insist that he was.

“We both have full fledged careers.” He had told the interviewer. “She’s amazing and I love her, but because of that I won’t make her choose between me and her job. Or her home. And I know she wouldn’t do that to me, either.”

“Her home? You talk like she doesn’t live in Korea...”

“She doesn’t,” he’d answered, a fond smile at his lips but a sadness in his gaze. “It’s expensive and time-consuming to go see her, but that just makes us enjoy every minute that much more.”

The female interviewer had sighed wistfully and put a hand over her heart. “That’s so sweet~ You sound quite happy with it, even though you’re not able to see her often.”

Zen had nodded enthusiastically before replying verbally. “We talk every day. At the very least we text each other but we prefer to video chat whenever we can.”

“You’re so devoted! It must be hard, though, not being able to physically be together much...”

She was harping on the hardest part, but that wasn’t enough to dissuade him. Even though he knew it was expressly against normal etiquette when filming, Zen had found one of the main cameras with his gaze and stared into it, knowing Cassandra would see this at some point soon (if 707 hadn’t already patched her into the feed somehow). “One day, when we feel like our careers can be put aside, we’ll never have to worry about being apart again.”

He turned his attention back to the interviewer, a broad smile on his lips. “I enjoy my career a great deal, but those will be the days I will cherish each and every moment of.”

The realization that the car had stopped forced Zen’s attention back to the present. Though his memories reminded him of how Cassandra had gushed to him about that interview and he had a bit of a stupid grin on his face as her friend let him out of the car.

“You seem excited,” she commented in English, clearly teasing him about his current expression.

“Yeah,” he answered in kind, still grinning at her. He was always grateful that Cassandra liked teaching him English. It made his trips to come see her easier and easier each time. He even liked the slang, though he was still usually pretty confused by memes. “I’ll see Cassie while I’m here.”

Her smirk betrayed her as she attempted roll her eyes and huff, “you two’ll make me sick. All this puppy love nonsense...”

Zen just kept grinning at her for a moment before he spoke up again. “Which way inside?” he asked, the grin finally being taken over by a serious expression. This was currently still business, after all.

Cassandra’s friend led him to a side entrance of the older brick building and gestured that he follow the wall. He offered her a short wave of thanks before heading off. Cassandra said she’d be driving him from here, which made him think that she’d be in the audience. As he approached the rear stairs and made his way up them, he was surprised to not find her amongst the sparse attendees. Maybe she just wasn’t here yet? It wasn’t like her to be late, but then again this was a really dense city. He pushed the concern away, attributing it to traffic, and made his way over to what looked like a stage hand. It was a guy who was even a few inches taller than he was, head bent over a clipboard and muttering to himself.

“Hey, I’m... here for the audition?” Zen hated that he was still so nervous over his English, but did his best to camouflage it. He was the best actor, he worked hard and it showed. This would be no different.

“Oh!” the brunet all but gasped. He blinked and stared for a moment, as if surprised to find that Zen actually showed up. The reaction brought back the actor’s nerves in full force but he pushed the feeling down. “You’re that guy that Cassie said would be coming...Zen, was it?”

“Yeah,” was all that Zen could manage aside from a nod.

“Your audition should be coming up soon.” The stage hand eyed him a bit strangely after speaking, as if sizing him up or something. “You sure you’ve got the lines?”

Zen barely managed to not glare at him. What was this guy’s damage? Did he really think he’d be here if he didn’t? “Yeah. I’ve got them. If you know Cassandra you know she wouldn’t have put her rep out there if she didn’t think I could do well.”

The other man chuckled, which only further concerned Zen. “Well, just listen for the chime and walk out. Shouldn’t be more than a few minutes now.”

As he was left to himself, his mind careened off the track that he’d done his best to keep it on. Did Cassandra not actually put in a good word? Why would she have suggested this if she didn’t have some kind of pull? The guy said he knew about him as well as Cassie so... why didn’t he think he was good? Had he never seen any of his performances? Did Cassandra not actually talk about him to her friends? Zen knew he talked about Cassie almost as much as he did himself with the RFA and had ever since he had to go back home after the first filming she’d helped him with.

A soft chime brought him back to the present and he took in a deep breath to collect himself. A quick glance out to the audience still showed him that Cassandra wasn’t there, which was really starting to depress him. Did she really not come-- his thoughts were interrupted as he started walking out on stage and recognized the woman walking towards him from the opposite side.

He would never in his life forget that perfectly flipped bob of raven hair or her sea green eyes. She was dressed very casually, in a simple blue T-shirt, stone washed jeans and sneakers. “C-Cassie?” Zen asked, both pleased to see her and shocked that she would be his partner for the audition. He realized in the back of his mind that he was a bit over-dressed with his tailored jacket and slacks, but this was supposed to be business.

She smiled at him, never missing a beat as she walked within a meter of him. “What? Did you think I was only helping you practice? I wanted to try this whole thing too.” When he just stood there for apparently a few moments too long, she reached up and playfully tapped his cheek. “You are blushing, you know~”

That pulled him back to functioning and he grasped her hand lightly before she could pull it away again. He pressed a quick kiss to her palm and looked to her under hooded lashes. “Thank you, babe.” The least he could do was play along, if it was actually true then he’d love it. If this was just a joke to help him do better, he was grateful for that, too. “I hope you get this part too, then... I’d be able to give my best performance ever playing opposite you.”

It was her turn to blush at that, which had Zen’s lips parting in a rather wolfish smile. Oh, he would get her back for this little prank tonight. He wanted to quietly tell her just how he planned to, but the music suddenly started up. For the moment he had to push the beast back down.

She carefully pulled her hand out of his grip. “I believe the first few stanzas are mine?” Cassandra asked, though it was clearly more of a reminder and rhetorical question than an actual inquiry.

Zen nodded. Cassandra wasn’t a great singer by any means, at least not the last time he heard her sing, but it has always been soothing to him regardless. For the moment, he had to get into character. He took another slow breath in and let it out just as deliberately. He was to be Evan Hansen; shy kid, insecure about anyone ever loving him. It made him think about himself, about Hyun, about his parents telling him he wasn’t ever going to succeed at what he wanted to do... it was him, in a way. That part was still there, no matter how flamboyant Zen became.

“I don’t need you to sell me on reasons to want you”

He was supposed to keep in character, but his eyes widened as he listened and a small flush painted his cheeks. She really had been practicing. She was on key and had good pacing. Thankfully he had his head down as per the cues he’d read in the script so he had some time to gather himself.

“I don’t need you to search for the proof that I should”

Cassandra had put so much effort into this, he was honestly wondering if she hadn’t gone for intense singing lessons while he was away. It made his heart thud heavily against his ribs. If this was all to just help him, he owed her even more than he already did. His precious babe was amazing.

“You don’t have to convince me You don’t have to be scared you’re not enough”

How many times had he thought that? Zen’s mind pulled him away from the act for a moment. He’d asked her several times during their months apart if she didn’t want to just go date someone else closer by. That it’d be better if she could get all the physical love she deserved. The second time she’d asked if he wanted to date someone else because it seemed like he was hinting that by continuing to ask. Zen had been quick to say there was no point. That he couldn’t make the time because of his work. She affirmed it was the same with her but that, as a proof of concept, they both were making time for each other regardless of their jobs and schedules. The relationship was difficult, but they were both willing to put the work in and that was what mattered.

“‘cause what we’ve got going”

Cassandra’s touch drew him out of his thoughts, a gentle set of fingertips touched his chin and he happily followed their push upwards.

“is good”

Zen smiled at her naturally, though they both knew it was also a cue for the scene. He searched her eyes and found the love he was so used to seeing and craved when she was away but there was something else, too. She reached out and grasped his hands, carefully holding them. His gaze shifted to them, surprised when she lightly caressed them with her thumbs like she normally would even though it wasn’t technically part of the cues.

“I don’t need more reminders of all that’s been broken I don’t need you to fix what I’d rather forget” The longer the song went on, he could only draw parallels. He and Cassandra had shared so many secrets about themselves, about their lives and their shortcomings and every one they’d accepted or helped the other change. As testament to all that he hadn’t smoked at all since he’d been away from her this time. Every day clean his lungs felt stronger and he felt energized more than he had before. Cassandra was, in so many ways, the best thing that had ever happened to him. “Clear the slate and start over Try to quiet the noises in your head”

Had they not been auditioning, he would have laughed. Of the two of them, he’d always thought that she was far more busy in the head than he ever was. But this was the role: Evan was always in his head so Zen simply gave her a sheepish smile as if he’d been the one called out.

“We can’t compete with all that”

She pulled away from him and for a brief moment he instinctively reached out for her but remembered that it was part of the cues and simply watched as she hurried over to the chairs in the middle of the stage. It was supposed to be a double bed, according to the script, but apparently they hadn’t had one to work with yet.

“So what if it’s us? What if it’s us and only us”

Zen began to break character as he watched her, expecting her to sit in the chair as the cues would probably dictate. She would have been directed to sit on the bed facing him. Instead, she was still standing. The more he looked, he even realized that she was shaking slightly. Was she just nervous because she was performing? He couldn’t ever recall her being so nervous that she shook, though...but she was still singing without breaking her voice. “and what came before won’t count anymore or matter? Can we try that?”

Cassandra hesitated for a moment and Zen noticed her throat tightening as she swallowed. What in the world had her so nervous?

“What if it’s you and what if it’s me”

She reached behind her and pulled something out of her pocket. That isn’t part of the cues... he noted inwardly, his heart suddenly surging to overdrive in his chest as he tried to figure out what she now held so carefully in her palms. “and what if that’s all that we need it to be?”

He didn’t have to wonder long, since she knelt on one knee and held out the box for him in her hands. Zen’s eyes widened to the point that he began tearing up just from the fact that he was unable to blink and his face as well as the tips of his ears began flushing pink. What... is she doing...? There’s no way... his mind couldn’t even comprehend that this was happening.

“And the rest of the world falls away?”

She opened the box and there it was: a simple silver ring. Zen swore that his heart skipped several beats and everything but he and Cassandra disappeared just as the lyrics had suggested. This was above and beyond anything he thought would happen to him. She loved him so much that she would set all this up for him, practice until she was able to be on stage with him as an equal, if only for a few minutes, and propose? For a moment he felt intensely guilty that he hadn’t been the one to do this-- wasn’t he the man in this relationship? The one that was “sickeningly romantic” as Cassandra had put it several times?

“What do you say?”

The entire theater went quiet, though Zen barely noticed through the pulse pounding in his ears. This had clearly all been a set up for this moment, but he didn’t care. All he could think about was the fact that he was being proposed to by the love of his life. Ideas for “sickeningly romantic” revenge proposals already drifted in to the back of his mind but he couldn’t focus on them now. “Babe...” he gasped. “Oh my god, babe...” He couldn’t actually say yes or no, even though he knew the answer the moment he was certain he knew what she was doing.

Cassandra didn’t say anything, but she looked absolutely terrified and was already sweating. The stage lights were hot, but she’d hardly been up there long enough to justify that kind of response to them just yet.

Zen didn’t want to keep her waiting and he knew how best to answer her. He gestured to the side stage, where he’d seen some of the audio equipment. “What’re you waiting for?” he asked, his tone bordering on playful teasing as a tiny smile flickered at the corners of his mouth. “Continue the song.”

Within moments the music began again, but as Zen looked back to Cassandra she still looked worried and now rather confused. That would all be cleared up soon enough. He closed the gap between them as he sang out his response.

“I never thought there’d be someone like you who would want me”

She all but gasped out her “well?” line in response as the scene dictated, voice shaking.

“So I’ll give you ten thousand reasons not to let me go”

He was in front of her now, leaning down a little so he could reach out for her face.

“But if you really see me”

Zen gently cupped her cheek and she leaned into it as she closed her eyes. He felt awful for a moment as he swore she shed a tear. He would have to kiss those away soon. And every inch of her skin...but that was later. Now, he still had to perform. And perform he would.

“If you like me for me and nothing else”

Cassandra opened her eyes, silently begging him for the acceptance that he already knew he was about to give her. He quickly moved his left hand to the box, gently touching the ring.

“That’s all that I’ve wanted”

Zen slipped his ring finger into the offered band and pulled his hand away to show her with his most dazzling smile.

“for longer than you could possibly know”

Cassandra dropped the box and all but shot into his chest, clearly continuing to ignore any kind of cue that they would have had, and wrapped her arms tightly about his neck. Zen continued to sing regardless, but happily returned her embrace.

“So it can be us it can be us and only us and what came before won’t count anymore or matter. We can try that.”

He pulled away before she was supposed to sing with him, but his hands were still on her shoulders. She put her hands on his arms, grinning like an idiot with tears making her sea green orbs shimmer. At least now he knew they were from happiness... not that he wouldn’t kiss them away soon anyway.

“It’s not so impossible”

Zen moved his hands to gently grasp her cheeks as he sang his line to her with a gaze so intense that it would have made anyone else step away. He made a mental note to serenade her more, watching her blush manifest as he sang.

“Nobody else but the two of us here”

As they moved to sing together again Zen really did feel like they were the only two people in the universe even though the music was still playing and they both knew they weren’t.

“ ‘cause you’re saying it’s possible”

She watched him with nothing but adoration as she took up her own line.

“We can just watch the whole world disappear”

Their hands moved to intertwine as they continued, following the song and continuing to get lost in themselves.

“ ‘Til you’re the only one I still know how to see”

Zen squeezed her hands as he sang to her, matching her passion as best he could but still lowering his volume as the cues would have demanded.

“It’s just you and me”

She smiled at him as she followed his lead with her response lines.

“It’ll be us, it’ll be us and only us and what came before won’t count anymore”

Though she came in with her lines quietly, they didn’t stay that way and Cassandra surprised him with passion and intensity that she could put into her voice without breaking. She really had to have practiced even harder than he did... and he had no idea when she’d even had the time to do so. He was thrilled to sing with her again.

“We can try that You and me That’s all that we need it to be and the rest of the world falls away and the rest of the world falls away”

Zen had carefully stepped closer as they sang, eyes never leaving hers, to the point that they were touching foreheads as they neared the end of the song. Had it been an actual performance, he would have been worried that they couldn’t sing loud enough for the crowd to hear but as it was he couldn’t have cared less. Cassandra could hear him, and that was more than enough.

“The world falls away the world falls away and it’s only us...”

They barely finished the last note when Zen leaned forward and latched on to Cassandra’s lips, his right hand divesting itself of her hand to grasp at the back of her neck. He heard cheers and applause, but he was far more interested in the woman who had just so boldly proposed to him. “Babe...” he panted when they finally parted. “You are... amazing.”

Cassandra seemed like she was going to reply but he quickly cut her off with another scorching kiss. He pulled away with a playful nip at her lower lip. “You’d better let me have my fun tonight, babe~”

“You realize you already accepted the proposal, right?” Cassandra teased him, pulling up a hand to brush some longer snow-white strands behind his ear where they belonged. “Too late to put in terms.”

He just shook his head. “Let me phrase it another way, then,” he mused, leaning forward to finish his thought next to her ear. “Once we get to the place you’re staying right now, you’re not leaving for days. And I wouldn’t recommend trying to walk much for at least a day more... so you’ll just have to let me take care of you even longer~”

Despite shivering at both the heated breaths and the promises contained in his words, Cassandra stood her ground. “As long as you let me have my fun when you return the favor.”

Zen pulled away, faking a look of shock. “Just what would I need to propose to you for? You’ve already done all this work... I would never dream of upstaging you!”

She chuckled. “Oh, I already see it in your eyes, Hyun. I can only imagine the elaborate sappy nonsense you are planning...” As if to emphasize the point, she shook her head slightly and rolled her eyes.

“My lady protests a bit too much,” Zen murmured. “You love it. And me.”

Cassandra smiled at him. “I do love you. Very, very much.”

“Then I suppose you’ll have no problem,” he began, reluctantly releasing his grip on her so he could grasp her hand and bring its back to his lips for a princely kiss. “Letting me off the chain tonight...”

“I will look forward to taming you again later,” she replied, her smile twisting slightly into a smirk.

“Get a room!” someone jeered. A chorus of laughter erupted from that and Cassandra even joined them.

“Come on,” she insisted, using their intertwined hands to lead him off the stage. “Let us go to my room so you can fully appreciate your fianceé~”

白雪 - Shirayuki ゼン - Zen オビ - Obi ラタ - Lata キリト-Kirito リュウ-Ryuu

**I don’t usually bother pointing out mistakes, as there’s plenty; but when I posted the first half I had north (the rebellion), 東 is east, and as I actually most definitely know that I wanted to note it’s corrected xD That said, please also take the Shirayuki thought-sequence with a hearty grain of salt. I didn’t have the time to spend on it my limited ability requires~

キリト「Ryuu you want to?」

リュウ **I’ve seen a bonfire many times**

リュウ「Nope」

オビ「Eh?!」

ゼン「How about it Shirayuki?」

オビ「Lata san want to talk and drink around a bonfire?」

ラタ「I’ll eat and sleep in the inn」

Page 15

オビ「The merchants didn’t have enough things there that were cheap enough to rent out.」

白雪「I bought some ingredients」

オビ「Ahh looks good looks good」

キリト「Finished!」

Page 16

Let’s Eat!

Bread get bread!

オビ「Miss, sleeping outdoors…camping, is this your first time or have you before?」

白雪「Yes? Second time.」

ゼン「The first time was when we met when you were on your way to the capital.」

オビ「Whats that?! That’s the first time I’ve heard this. Miss Kiki was there too? And Miss?!」

ゼン「They were there.」

白雪「Mitsuhide san was there too」

オビ「As for Sir either is fine」

Page 17

キリト「Shirayuki!」

キリト「Let’s arm wrestle!」

白雪「Eh?」

キリト「Shirayuki challenged Kazeha before to an arm wrestling battle to the death right?」

リュウ「Uh huh」

白雪「Eh!」

Page 17

オビ「This is the first I’ve heard of that」

ゼン「Is Kazeha reliable?」

オビ「He’s some pharmacist guy」

BEGIN!

オビ「Zen Wins!」

オビ「And now me if you can」

ゼン「Oh?」

Page 19

オビ「So…..So this is why people swing swords around..!! You have a lot of arm strength.」

ゼン「Ha what, I always train the whole body」

リュウ「Amazing」

キリト「Is it okay for this to continue?」

白雪 **I didn’t make it 100 seconds**

Alright after 10 seconds its a draw…

DRAW!

Then lets go to bed beneath the starry sky….

白雪「Indeed, do you two need compresses prepared?」

Page 20

リュウ「Kirito are you asleep?」

オビ「He’s all tuckered out」

オビ「Good night Miss, Ryuu Hou, Master」

白雪「Good Night」

ゼン「Now I’m just an afterthought」

オビ「No way, that’s just in your imagination」

白雪「Zen」

You know... I'm not sure if you'd want to. But would you want to gift me with a rare pair analysis of Mitsuhide and Izana? Cause I've already got a list of chapters to pull material from but since this is kind of your thing right now I thought you might be interested in compiling it all. Feel free to say no, I'm just curious about your thoughts on it.

Oooooh… another pairing that shares less than 20 panels? YES YES I CAN DO THIS FOR YOU THIS IS THE MOST FUN!

I can definitely work with this. :3

So Mitsuhide and Izana know each other before canon or, actually, before the earliest flashbacks even (This gives me a lot of speculative empty space to work with so thank you for that :3 :3 :3).

The first time we see them together is in Sereg very shortly after Mitsuhide is made a knight at a very early age. He’s, what? 19 here? And already Mitsuhide is all sorts of badass:

(It’s a terribly zoomed in scan, but the look on Izana’s face is incredibly *cough* fond *cough*

Who wouldn’t look at all that and swoon, though? Mitsuhide may be this gentle giant, but he is all sorts of sexy when he’s fighting.)

But all that smexiness Mitsuhide exudes in battle just melts away the second he realizes Izana is there watching him. He just turns into this young man in love. Look at how fluttery and excited he is here (especially when Izana compliments him :3 )! Who KNOWS how long it’s been since he last saw his lover?

BEFORE I CONTINUE ON, HERE BE MY SPECULATIVE RARE PAIR GETTING TOGETHER BACKSTORY because it’s obvious that some sort of relationship has very clearly been established:

They’ve known each other for years. Probably met shortly after King Kain’s assassination and Hurato sent Izana up to Sereg for some additional training (also see: protection). And it was only supposed to be a passing thing between the two of them; two people just dealing with very confusing times together but they became far closer than either intended.

So when it was time for Izana to return to Wistal, a lot was left unsaid between the two of them.

And when Izana came back three months later, they had to admit this was something more.

Mitsuhide, knowing that the only way the two of them could be together in any permanent or real sense of the word was if he rose as high as he could socially, pushed himself hard, surpassing his peers and even his elders. If he’s the BEST, he figured, he may be able to stand by Izana’s side.

(And perhaps this is why Mitsuhide is so supportive of a certain redhead we know who’s trying to do the same thing..)

And it sorta works!

Sorta.

On one of Izana’s rare trips to Sereg (getting rarer and rarer as the years pass by…), Izana asks Mitsuhide to be Zen’s retainer instead.

That look… that doki…… I know Izana is stupidly attractive, but don’t tell me that’s platonic. Izana just broke Mitsuhide’s heart a little when Izana was trying to do anything but. (He thought Mitsuhide would have been more excited.)

But Mitsuhide is forever earnest as a puppy dog. He states his intentions as clearly as he can and … I don’t know. Izana seems a little.. disappointed? in Mitsuhide’s response here. Like, he is rewarding him for his hard work with an important position, yes, but he was also TRYING to get him as close as he could without Mitsuhide becoming a point of speculation or drawing unnecessary attention to their relationship. He’s giving him the chance to at least be in the Palace with him (for now). But Mitsuhide just isn’t seeing that.

And Izana is arguably entrusting Mitsuhide with something greater than his own body: He’s trusting him with his wild and hurt little brother.

And it ends up being a good plan because together, they save Zen’s life.

At a cost, of course.

…poor kids :(

But years have passed between the Atri Incident and Izana and Mitsuhide’s relationship is the Worst Kept Secret in Wistal now. While they will never do anything overt, Mitsuhide is far more comfortable approaching Izana than literally anyone else:

(Who else but a lover would have gall to yell “Stop!” at the future King? Not even Zen is so bold.)

Honestly, the bone deep sadness in Izana’s face here breaks my heart. It’s very similar to that earlier scan when Izana asks Mitsuhide to watch over Zen and Mitsuhide just isn’t catching what Izana is throwing. It must be hard to be as smart as him - even the person who should know you best can’t understand your intentions.

Because what if this is part of Izana’s aversion to Shirayuki and Zen? Izana knows what it means to love someone so far below your station it is impossible to share a public partnership with. We already know that Izana does certain things so Zen doesn’t have to experience pain if he doesn’t have to; Why would this be any different?

Best to nip it in the bud before it blooms, really.

T_T

Gives layers and layers to this statement, though, doesn’t it?

WELL, before I fall down my angst rabbit hole, let’s turn the bend:

Because THIS is comedic gold.

LOOK HOW HAPPY IZANA IS. I’VE NEVER SEEN HIM SO HAPPY THE LITTLE TROLL. XD XD XD

But you know and I know that Zen is 100% aware of Mitsuhide and Izana’s “””arrangement.””” (And it’s definitely A Reason why he thinks his Lord Brother and Haruka are being obnoxious about Shirayuki)

(Zen: DOESN’T IZANA TELL YOU EVERYTHING? LIKE, ISN’T TELLING YOU ABOUT HIM GOING AWAY PART OF THE WHOLE PILLOW TALK DEAL???

Mitsuhide: Not if he thinks it’s funnier not to tell me???)

And Kiki DEFINITELY has his number. Especially when Mitsuhide stares off all wistfully into the distance whenever Izana is away:

She likes to tell him he’s pining.

(Mitsuhide: I am not!)

…which honestly just makes it worse.

Honestly, I’m surprised Obi hasn’t figured it out yet.

But that’s probably best for Mitsuhide :3

Heyo! I have so many ideas for headcannons so I'm sorry in advance but feel free to choose any one of these ideas as the prize for the contest that happened a few months ago! They will all be for rfa + minor duo. The first idea is for soon after the main story before marriage. MC has a loving, but loud and crazy family and they all want to meet her new significant other at a family gathering. How will the boys(and girl) impress them? (Feel free to have them bring out baby photos)

RFA meeting Mc’s parents {it’s boring :( }

Hahaha the one with the baby photos actually made me chuckle! It’s a good idea! I hope you like it, especially because you’re the first one who will read this, my lovely beta-reader XD

BTW, I’m sorry for not writing, I didn’t forget you all but I was so busy...I still have exams going on. The day after tomorrow is my day, I will turn 18 and so I have been busy...besides I found and amazing KDrama and so I’m enjoying it instead of writing anything.

Jumin

,,Okay okay okay…’’ you mumbled excitedly and let your fingers down in front of your face in order to make yourself cool down.

,,I will give my best, my love…’’ Jumin tried to calm you, when he noticed that you were really nervous.

,,I’m not worried because of you, but because of my crazy family members…’’ you laughed.

But your fears were all in vain because Jumin fit in perfectly.

You were happy that he could talk normally with them.

When your little cousins decided to play a game, you were also grateful that Jumin showed his best skills.

,,Drawing cats in a few seconds is one of your skills, huh?’’ your sister teased him.

,,Yes. I actually like cats very much.’’ he affirmed, not noticing that your sister meant something completely different, but making your family burst in laughter.

Zen

,,You need to at least tell me what kind of wine your parents like,’’ Zen begged you, making you grin.

,,Nope. You have to impress my big family on your own,’’ you kept teasing him.

What your boyfriend didn’t know was that your family was literally big - you didn’t just mean your parents and your siblings, but also your aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Your boyfriend’s skin was pale, but now he was even paler than he was before.

But he soon won over their hearts when he began to dance and sing just for them.

As if he was on stage, he thanked them all for their love and support.

,,And now, let’s have an encore together!’’ he laughed and caught your aunt’s heart when he grabbed your little cousin’s hands and began to sing with them all.

Yoosung

,,Huh? Yoosung? What are you doing with the box?’’ you asked him when you were about to start the car.

,,It’s a surprise,’’ he mumbled and laughed.

He had a pretty good idea.

As soon as you arrived at your childhood house, you got welcomed by your family.

Yoosung was pretty impressed himself by all the people he met outside.

As soon as he saw the other twenty people inside, he noticed that bringing baby pictures with him was a mistake.

But it also ended up with your mother unpackaging your baby pictures and looking at them together with Yoosung’s pictures.

,,Here. I have a similar picture! The difference is that Yoosung is wearing his sister’s clothes and that Mc is wearing my clothes and shoes!’’ your mother exclaimed, making Yoosung blush at the sight of him wearing a bright pink dress with lipstick in his hands.

Jaehee

The car smelled so good.

You loved the smell of coffee and cakes and she knew.

That’s why she brought along plenty of desserts and coffee.

When you guys arrived, she kindly shook hands with everyone and then showed them all the cakes she made, catching the housewife's hearts.

Everyone complimented you for finding such a heartwarming and intelligent girlfriend and you could only agree.

Saeyoung

To be honest, you were kind of worried about your fiancé.

It was his first time meeting your family and you knew, for sure, that they would all ask him about his past.

You were really worried because of that, but perhaps you just forgot how amazing he was.

He could perfectly win over their hearts with his amazing jokes, stories, and not to forget, with his amazing creations.

,,Oh dear! A robot cat!’’ your cousin exclaimed.

,,Yes! You have to keep an eye on her because she’s being hunted by the other cats for being a robot! Will you protect her with me?’’ he asked her and motivated her to be a kind child.

Since then, he softened your family’s heart and was loved by everyone.

Yes, I forgot the Minor Duo, I’m sorry.

Translation Notes:

[1] Onii-kei, literally “older brother fashion”, is a Japanese fashion subculture that references rocker and military looks. This style tends to be geared towards high-end fashion but with the inclusion of rugged elements of street style, characterised by accessories like branded sunglasses, belts and watches.

[2] Hoikoro, or twice/double cooked pork is originally a Szechuan-style Chinese dish, called 回鍋肉 in Mandarin.

[3] Zazen is seated Zen meditation, usually in a cross-legged position.

[4] I was at first confused (incredibly concerned) by what he meant by face swelling but I think he meant the kind of swelling that is caused by water retention at night if you drink a lot of water before (although I’ve never gotten that before). (UPDATE: apparently it can be caused by dry air and not enough water? Ryuji, please take care of yourself XD)

More translations from 2.5 Jigen Danshi Photobook:

Torigoe Yuuki’s 50 Questions Ota Motohiro’s 50 Questions Matsushita Yuya’s 50 Questions Hirose Tomoki’s 50 Questions (translated by withchantomo)

Personal Note:

The 2.5 Jigen Boy photobook was released on 17 October 2015. It’s one of my favourite photobooks because it has 5 2.5D actors whom I like, namely Hirose Tomoki, Torigoe Yuuki, Ota Motohiro, Matsushita Yuya, and of course, Sato Ryuji. (It features bad schoolboy!Ryuji, how can I not love it?) Though I have managed to find some scans of the photos online, I’ve never seen a translation of the 50 Questions section at the back for most of the guys (except Hirose Tomoki), so I thought I’d try my hand at translating it. I might translate this section for the other 3 boys next! (If I have time… and energy… and willpower…)

I also scanned in the pages with the questions from the book itself because the images are really cute wwwww

This is my first time ever posting a translation, so I’m still kinda unsure about some of these lines, but well… I tried my best for Ryuji :P (If you have a better translation, just drop me a message here or DM me on twitter!)

これからもよろしくお願いします！
