I want everyone to realize that I've been accidently dressing Joe up as Jon Arbuckle this whole time.

Kiss me (beneath the milky twilight)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
paring: musicanbur x fem!reader
summary: you’re the backup singer for lovejoy, the fans don’t know you and wilbur are together, but one duet changes that.
authors note: trying to practice dialogue, so sorry if it is a little wired and doesn’t make sense idk how to write good conversation lmao, also i thought this idea was cute hope you guys like it :)
warnings: short, a make-out on stage, fluff, unedited!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Okay, someone ate the last poptart this morning on the bus, fess up, who was it?”
Mark, who was twirling his drum stick a few times questioned amongst the group as you and the rest of lovejoy stood in a circle backstage minus Wilbur; who was still asleep in his dressing room. Pre-show naps were a ritual for him now.
Being on tour was an experience to say the least. You never thought you’d be sharing a small space with four grown men, but here you were living on a tour bus for the next four months with them. Most days it wasn’t complete chaos, you all had your respective bunks and areas but a lot of times you thought you’d somehow died and were sent to purgatory until whoever decided to send you to actual hell.
“I don’t know but I have a stash in the bus so I know it’s not me,” you raise your hands up in innocence.
“Why do you get your own secret stash?” Mark frowns.
Wilbur liked to spoil you with snacks to hide around the bus so the other boys wouldn’t find them just to tease them, All in good fun of course.
“Perks of being the lead singer’s girlfriend,” you smirk with your chin held high.
“Im convinced now that you’re the pop tart thief,” Joe added, thumb and pointer finger fiddling with the tuning pegs on his guitar while standing off to the side. “I know all the little hiding spots on the bus and I haven’t seen any secret stash of pop tarts anywhere,”
“That was completely sus of you to say, now i think it was you!” you pointed.
Stupid moments like this made up for all the times you got annoyed with them. Though you loved them all to death they drove you absolutely insane.
“So where’s your secret stash then?”
“Ill never tell, you thief.”
A pair of arms suddenly came to snake around your waist and pull you further back until a head rest on your shoulder. A very sleepy Wilbur yawned and pressed a tender kiss to your shoulder. You smiled sinking back into your lovers arms and reached your hand up to pet his soft curls. Almost instantly he hummed and it mimicked a cats pur.
“What are you guys arguing about now?” he mumbled against your shirt.
“I wouldn’t say we’re arguing, just pointing blame for whoever stole the last pop tart this morning,” you explain.
“It was probably Ash,” Joe quips. Ash looks offended with his arms raise in confusion.
“Oh no, that was me,” Wilbur states nonchalantly.
“WHAT?!” The group erupted into protests.
“I was hungry,” Wilbur shrugs. “we can afford more guys.”
“very true,” you piped.
“well i guess this solves the great pop tart thief mystery,” Mark shrugs.
“Case closed.” you remark.
Soon the argument dissolved, and everyone spoke amongst themselves. You rocked with Wilbur side to side as you hummed no tune in particular as you leaned against him.
“How was your nap honey?” you asked.
“lonely,” he states. “I missed you,”
Your heart jumps at his sentiment. It had only been a few hours since you both woke up tangled in each other’s limbs, maneuvering out of the small bunk trying not to roll out and fall. Still, you missed him when he wasn’t around too.
“I missed you too,” you brought his hand up to your lips and gave it a kiss before placing it back down against your waist.
“you still wanna go through with tonight?”
You knew what he was referring to. Wilbur had come to you with the idea of you both singing a duet on stage at one of the gigs. At first you weren’t so sure, it was his bands time to shine and you didn’t want to take away from that. You’re the back up singer for Wilbur, you felt out of place trying to share the spotlight. After some convincing; more like brain washing you with his puppy dog eyes, you eventually caved and agreed to do it.
Now that it was so close to the performance, the nerves in your body weren’t going away. You had never really been front and center on stage before. Always in the back round hidden in the stage lights. So the thought of being in-front of a crowd of a thousand people staring at you, probably waiting for you to possibly mess up, was fucking you up in the brain just a bit.
Wilbur could practically feel how tense you suddenly got and perked his head up and looked at your face with a slightly worried expression.
“We don’t have to if you’re not ready darling,”
“No, I’ll be fine,” you shook your head. “I wanna do this with you, It’ll be fun.”
Your smile didn’t seem to convince him. He didn’t want to push you into anything but, he could sense how anxious you had seemed the past couple of days. One word from you and he would cancel the whole show if you asked. which of course was very silly of him.
You were determined to get over this fear and just go with it. With one last final hug you both pulled apart and began getting prepared for the show in an hour.
Tumblr media
The show was so explosive. The energy of the crowed was strong tonight, it made your adrenaline buzz with excitement. You had almost completely forgotten about your nerves when you stepped onto that stage.
The band had just finished One Day and cheers and screams rang out through the venue. You watched as Wilbur reached down to grab the towel sat beside his mic stand and whip his brow clean from sweat. He threw the towel back down and leaned into the microphone.
Wilbur had told you after One Day was the time slot you had to sing the duet with him.
“Alright, so we have something special planned,” Wilbur spoke. “I wanna welcome to the front of the stage Y/N, my incredible backing vocalist!”
Cheers rang out for you as you stepped center stage into the light clutching your microphone. You smiled and wave at the crowd shakily, you could practically feel your heartbeat out of your chest.
“Were gonna play a song for you, and I need you guys to sing the lyrics if you know them, and be nice to Y/N, shes super nervous,”
A chorus of ‘awes’ rang out from the crowd and you blushed bashfully as you heard a bunch of various shouts of support.
“Thanks Will,” you playfully roll your eyes at him revealing your secret.
The song you had chosen was Kiss Me by Sixpence Non the Richer, one of your favorites. The opening chords rang out as Joe began the melody. Soon, Mark kicked in the drums and you were bobbing your head to the beat.
You glanced over at Wilbur and saw a smile on his lips as he began playing as well. He looked over at you and saw the panic glossing over your eyes in the light. Somehow it made you forget everything once you connected eyes.
Look at me. he mouthed. just keep your eyes on me.
You took a deep breath and began to sing the lyrics, keeping your eyes locked with Wilbur. Somehow it made you forget everything around you and be in the moment with him.
Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Wilbur saw how stiff you were, barely moving your limbs. In an attempt to get you to be more comfortable he moved towards you while continuing to play.
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress, oh
He leaned forward until he was practically kissing your mic. Shocked at the close proximity you kept your composure as you both sang the chorus of the song in harmony.
Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
staring deeply into each others eyes nothing else seemed to matter. The pit in your stomach making your knees weak with the look in his eyes as they flickered down to your own lips as he sang.
You rested your left hand on his bicep, the fabric of his silky black button up grounding you before you got too light headed.
Lift your open hand, strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
You broke apart and suddenly felt weightless. You danced around the stage as Wilbur watched you with awe and adoration. Your cheeks were hot feeling his eyes on you the entire time. You sang the next line;
Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
You moved towards Wilbur and he turned to wiggle his hips to the beat. Trying so hard to hold back a laugh, you copied his movements. You couldn’t wait to see all the videos on your timeline the next day.
leaned against his side and began singing together once more;
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map
Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand, strike up the band
And make the fireflies dance, silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
You dance around the stage again feeling yourself in the moment as the last notes rang out. You didn’t even process the cheers and screams as you felt a pair of hands cup your cheeks and press their lips against yours.
Your eye’s opened in shock to see Wilbur was the one who pulled you into a kiss. On stage. in front of a whole crowd of his fans. Fuck it, you thought, and melted into his touch. His lips moved against yours softly and you could feel your skin set aflame.
Your arms looped around his middle and pulled him closer to you. Hours could have passed and you could’ve kept kissing him, but eventually you pulled away for the lack of oxygen in your lungs. Chocolate eyes peered down at you with such love you had ever felt. Wide smiles broke the two of you into infectious giggles you could barely hear over the whole crowd of people screaming all around you.
Wilbur took your hand and walked back over to his mic. All your friends were cheering you on as well, Causing you to blush harder at all the attention on you but it didn’t matter anymore.
“Well, that was a heat of the moment sort of thing guys, sorry about that,” his giggle echoing through the venue speakers, everyone ‘wooed’ in response. “Had to take my moment, y’know?”
Wilbur gazed at you out of the corner of his eye to see your bashful state. Squeezing your hand he said one last thing to the crowd before he had to move onto the next song on their line up.
“Everyone please give it up for my beautiful, wonderful, talented, girlfriend!”
You were most certainly redder than a cherry at this point. The crowd was loving every second of it. Hiding your face in Wilbur's shoulder from his side, he kisses your forehead before having to send you back over to your place on stage. You very certain your twitter feed will be insane the next day.
It wasn’t long before the next song started up and you were dancing along with Leandra. Wilbur gave you one final glance behind him and you blew him a kiss to which he beamed at you before he turned forward to continue on with the show.

pets i think the main 5 would have
cartman
he would definitely have a cat (or 3)
he’s like a crazy cat lady and all his cats are really mean lol
They’re all fat too because he spoils them
He’s not great with animals but he’s not terrible either
he just loses his temper a lot (judging by how he was with mr. kitty)
also i wish fluffy would make a return
stan
he ends up with a number of pets
i like to hdc he majors in animal science and he ends up nursing a lot of animals back to health
he’s been banned from animal shelters by his friends because he adopts like al the pets in there (exaggerating ofc)
but he’s awful at naming them
they’re all either the most basic dog/cat names out there or they’re human names
like he has a snake named Joe and a lizard named Michael or something
probably named his dog rover or smth basic (he’s not too creative)
kyle
i don’t care what you say kyle is a fan of animals (let’s not forget his elephant. also there was a clip of gerald walking a dog that i saw so maybe they have one?)
but kyle wanted a dog (he’s not a cat guy) so when he was moved out and had the money he was looking for a dog that would actually run with him
he ends up getting a german short haired pointer/german shepherd mix
he named it bucky because he’s one of those marvel fans lmao
he wanted a dog that would run around with him but also a dog that would calm down when he wanted it to
so after a lot of training he got exactly that lol
kenny
kenny would have really exotic animals
he has an ant farm (which is just ants he collected around the house)
he would probably have rats and mice aa well
he befriended an opossum so there was that as well
he makes up funny names for all his animals
its like the most random shit like he’ll just be all ‘oh yeah this is william snakespeare and alexander rattington IV’
he’s pretty okay with animals tbh
butters
butters would live on a farm as an adult i just know it
he adopts a border collie and names it waffles
he loves the cuter animals. he raises chicks and bunnies and names them all just really random shit
He also adopts three kittens to act as mice patrol in his barn
he probably names them after breakfast foods too
so he just has cats named pancake, toast and bacon
he names his farm animals really randomly though like he did in fun with veal
he has cows, chicks, bunnies, pigs donkeys, ponies, you name it.
i like to hdc he finds a good job that pays REALLY well (because he’s butters of course he would find a job like that) and he wants to buy things that make him happy. like animals.
he donates a lot to animal shelters and anti abuse organizations too
really random but was thinking about it because i’m making kyle have a dog in my comic lmao

punch out boxers and what i think they had as a childhood stuffie + some extra guests
As a break from that one Forbidden™ post, heres something fluffy, sorry if the translations suck im using a translator
Glass Joe - a cat plushie with dark blue button eyes, lovingly named "Jojo" after himself, think of a calico cat for its pattern and its built like a teddy bear except for its head & tail
Von Kaiser - a teddy bear, creatively named "Bär" (means bear in german, i know how creative this is) suprisingly squeaky clean with a few stitches and a eye missing
Disco Kid - a koala named "Mr. Dance" that he regularly gave concerts to along with dance performances and talked to a lot, a bit pink since he accidentally messed up while washing it but still loved nonetheless, mr dance is a real one
King Hippo - a hippo plushie made from rags with souless button eyes he made a crown for, he got the name inspo from his plushie since it was named "King hippo", he jokingly refers to himself as "King hippo the second" if anyone knows about the original hippo
Piston Hondo - a frog plushie that is also suprisingly clean with a copy of his headband on it with a red belt, smells like mint for some reason named "マスターフロッグ" (master frog)
Bear Hugger - a stuffed salmon plushie handmade by a friend, smells like death and has a bite taken from it because he bit it while dreaming & ate a chunk from it
Great Tiger - a tiger plushie with sunglasses named "awesome man" (i couldnt find a proper translator and google translate sucks so im writing it in english) that smells like his dads perfume with a few cuts & a eye holding on for dear life, he performed magic tricks for it and made it have drama with his clones
Don Flamenco - a flamingo plushie with a red scarf around its neck, patched up with colorful fabrics, named it after himself, its eyes also happen to be missing, he argued with it constantly and fought it for no reason
Aran Ryan - a giraffe plushie named "spots" that has seen some stuff, half of its face missing, constantly wet (think of that webkinz plushie post) probably moldy with thousands of stitches & patches that smells like spoiled milk
Soda Popinski - a husky plushie with blue beady eyes, somehow in one piece except for one eye gone & sewn up nicely, named "Охотник" (Hunter) that smells like your grandmas house, lovingly hugged and tucked in along with him
Bald Bull - a sheep plushie, somewhat yellowish fur & glittery eyes named "kuzucuk" (no exact translation for this, kuzu means sheep and -cuk and most verbs similiar to it is usually added to mean little, either in a rude way or a cute way) that is always really warm and smells like cinnamon, he has sobbed into that plushie right after decking it in the face many times
Super Macho Man - a dino plushie (specifically a t-rex) named "Chompers" that has a few bitemarks on it and reeks of glue, he made it act out godzilla
Mr Sandman - a squirrel plushie named "Ms. Walnut" that has a portion of its tail missing and has one button eye and another stitched up eye, he always talked to it for advice and apologized to it after he punched it from anger, he always imagined Ms. Walnut's voice as a posh british lady when he made it speak
Doc Louis - a crocodile plushie named "Pickle" that reeks of pickles somehow, tail sewn in a half-assed way, always rko'd for some reason
Little Mac - a polar bear plushie, gifted to him from doc when he was first adopted named "tiny mac" stitched up lovingly, he still has it and is not ashamed, not one bit (me too bestie, shout out to that one pikachu plushie i bought with my own money at a bazaar and still hug every night)
Carmen - clown plushie with a dress very similiar to hers named "Señorita Payasa" (Miss Clown), the reason she has a polka dress is because of her and was the main reason she loves clowns
Narcis Prince - a horse plushie named "horsey" that is loved very much, always accompanied him with his imaginary tea parties, sewn up in the stomach nicely (he secretly still has it and still loves it very much shh shut up)
Gabby Jay - a handmade doll of him by his grandma, called "Gabs" for short, always held it close to his heart and sprayed his perfume on it, no injuries (unlike gabby jay himself LMAOO) , no dirt, and no trauma, beloved
Pizza Pasta - a flour bag with eyes drawn on, stuffed with fluff (with no flour thankfully) named "L'uomo della farina" (flour man) with a lot of patches, bitten very often

absolutely ok if you're keeping it a surprise, but since you've mentioned it in your tags, is there any teaser of what drawn from memory is about? no spoilers of course! ;)
Oh yeah, totally!
Essentially, it's Patrick retelling his own version of their whole story. It came from a bingo card that @hey-ginger and I created for ourselves, to try to inspire us to write short fic (HAHAHAHAHA. Short. FUCK.), which had one of the squares, 'All This Happened, More Or Less' and it just seemed right to do it first person, even though that's not a style of writing I'd usually go for myself. I know a lot of people don't like it. It may not go down very well, but it's kind of what makes the story distinct and sort of work in its own right, I guess. You have Patrick as a potentially unreliable narrator, so you're not sure if what he says happened is just his perspective or if that really was it and what was exactly said or implied, and whose actions may or may not have been to blame for things happening.
It covers from a time when they started taking an interest in each other, through the stuff that caused the hiatus, the hiatus and its various projects, and all that kind of thing... It sticks pretty closely to the real timeline and major events, and fits the story around that. Here's a little bit that doesn't really spoil the Patroh parts of the story, too much.
I was hurt, y'know? I think that was the worst of it. It hurt. I was just kind of in shock, because what the fuck was I gonna do, now? That was my future she was ripping apart - all those years I'd fucking wasted, y'know? We had a cat! And I kind of acted out over it. I felt so sorry for myself, I guess the thing I thought it was best to do was to hurt myself through the medium of Sad, Lonely Drunk: A Dickwad Story.
I sat in a bar and I got drunk. Every day. For a month. And I could've sat at home and everything, in this apartment she'd moved out of to live with him, and I had to finish the lease on, but no. I chose to go out, to the bar where I always used to go hang out with Joe and his Not The Band friends, because he's always been the social butterfly amongst us - always the one who had someone to hang out with - and I guess I was kind of waiting. I wanted someone to come in and find me, I guess. Like, I was hiding with my misery, but in plain sight, like some kind of woman in a classic novel, with a bad case of affected melancholy.
And, after a little bit, he did find me. He just came in, one afternoon, sat beside me and ordered a Coke, because he wasn't even twenty-one, yet. And after a couple of minutes of us just hanging out there in silence, he says, "Told you she was a fucking asshole, dude."
And for the first time in like a month, I laughed. I just spluttered out this dumb, stupid laugh and I leaned on his shoulder and he put an arm around me and he didn't even finish his Coke before we went back to his place and Marie made us mac 'n' cheese and we sat up on the couch until 2am, marathoning Police Academy and picking out every fault Anna ever had. All three of us.
I slept on the couch, instead of going back to our shitty, stupid apartment and when I woke up at like lunch, the next day, Joe had called Pete and gotten them both calling around a bunch of our friends, asking if anyone needed a new roomie. It sounds like a kind of little thing, now, I guess, but that day it was like they chained themselves to railings with me.

Sk8 Headcanons: Babies/Toddlers Edition!
Joe: He was a cranky, crying all day baby. he learned how to talk pretty quickly, walked kind of late for some reason, and loved to play with the shape sorting toy and watched too much Dora. His first word was "Eat"
Cherry: He was a relatively quiet baby, which could either mean he was asleep or getting into something dangerous. He learned how to talk pretty early too but was generally quiet, he wasn't as talkative as other babies his age. He loved toys that included vehicles and would really enjoy. His first word was "Mama"
Shadow: He was a very whiny baby, so whiny about every little thing. He learned how to walk and talk at a normal pace, and was super talkative. His favorite toy was his black and blue blanky that he'd always carry around until 12 years old. His first word was "Blankey"
Adam: He was obviously a spoiled baby, with everything he could ever want material wise, but he was pretty clingy. He'd be a slow learner at talking and had trouble with walking all on his own for a good while. He'd have tons of favorite toys in his own playroom, which had a giant toy chest. His first word was "Food"
Tadashi: He was a pretty chill baby. He didn't really like being held by anyone besides his parents though, he'd start bawling if anyone but his parents held him, it'd be like this until he turned 5. He learned how to talk and walk at a normal pace. He didn't have a favorite toy. His first word was "Play"
Reki: He was a whiney and cranky baby, probably why his mom likes to think of him as 'a little pet monster'. He totally got into a lot of trouble, getting into dangerous things or stupid things, like putting his toys in the toilet and crying about it. He learned to speak at a normal pace was learned how to walk pretty early. His favorite toy was a little cat plush of his, he'd always sleep with it. His first word was "Mama"
Langa: He was a very quiet and chill baby, he wouldn't cause many problems for his parents and listened very well. He learned how to talk a bit late but he learned how to talk extremely quickly. His favorite toy would be the snowboarding goggles he'd wear whenever his parents would take him to learn how to snowboard. His first word was "snow" (but rumors his mom swears his first word was "food")
Miya: He was a loud baby. He picked up on both talking and walking extremely quickly. His favorite thing to play with was his pet cat that was pretty old at the time and he was devastated when it died just when he was 5. His first word was "Kitty!"

Annyeonghaseyo Baeksussy, I have returned from Jeju and almost lost a kneecap, but overall it was fun and we saw a filming crew (I think a kpop boy group was filming something outside our hotel lmao, but we had no idea who they were). The weather in Seoul is so unpredictable like wdym one day it's 27°C and sunny and the next it's 15° and raining 🔫
Omfg hold on, so much has happened. Firstly I'm sorry about your principal's passing :/ secondly not you imagining Yunho as another guy AGAIN 😭 how is the writing going? Thirdly you watched SIXTEEN MOVIES LMAO which ones did you see?
Also good for your cousin, but come on don't slander MU fans that much sjsjaisjjsjssjsjshs (lowkey I consider being a Barca fan as red flag soz </3333) I decided not to pay attention to football for the time being cause it's boring and annoying and I can't even watch any matches live 🔫 I don't need the negativity in my life 🤚🏼 wtf is up in the F1 world? I see my man Lewis isn't winning :/
Speaking of food, I discovered vegan Jeju and my faves are Lan's Kitchen, Cheesylazy (for some reason I thought the name was Cheesyslay sjsjsjsjskaja so now we call it that) and one cafe/bakery with amazing cakes - And 유. Also 7/11 and CU have some more vegan products and even accidentally vegan ones, so I'm living <3
Yeah Limitless was underwhelming, there's a song called Diamond that's nicer, not really my thing, but Hwa and Yunho sound so good! Though I prefer them on a different song called Diamond 😅❤
I just want Ateez to stop releasing unnecessary songs and focus on a full album. Also not another fucking festival and in Qatar of all places..... good for the fans, but 🤡🤡🤡🤡 and Xikers are going too, KQ is really doing everything to attach them to Ateez
I heard Jimin's song so many times, like it's EVERYWHERE and ngl the single is better and a decent club song, but overall... nothing great. Hybe continues to piss me off!!! And the encore he did was... rough. https://twitter.com/jnksoluna/status/1641461317428215813?t=1sChI621kLP7pKFGzYGTzg&s=19 all the fandoms are beating him up 😭
I really really need to watch The Glory, but I've heard and seen so many spoilers already, rip. I kinda wanna rewatch S1 of AOS, cause it's my comfort show for sure. Everyone who prefers S2 has the right to do so, but don't try to convince me it was better, just say you were blinded by the angst and fluff 🙄
Okay so about YOU, let me spoil you then - I hope it'll sense made - in s4 Joe went to the UK started hanging out with insufferable posh people and "met" a guy named Reese (he was a writer and was running for Mayor of London). Turned out Reese was killing said posh twats and tried to frame Joe, became his stalker, wanted to be killing mates together (the Reese x Joe ship has sailed ajsuajahjsjsja). BUT! Lots of people noticed that during gatherings Joe was the only one who interacted with Reese and like we suspected - that whole thing was only in Joe's head cause he has split personality. So he basically dissociates and doesn't know what's going on. Reese was a real guy that Joe was obsessed with, but they never actually met and Joe was behind all the murders. Now that Joe accepted the truth and still wants to act like a saviour I feel even more icky about s5, he was always awful but his delusional monologues were funny. Now that he has a rich girlfriend and acts like a entrepreneur I'm like 😬😬😬😬🤚🏼
I did not talk to Jin Goo, because we were far away, but the way my hand automatically waved and he was like "🧐😀👋🏻" and then I quickly opened my phone to yell about it. Imagine if I saw Soohyuk or Dohwan or someone else I've been obsessing over 😳 (BTW NEW WOO DO HWAN DRAMA) you'd not hear from me! My friend saw Kim Mingue three times in the past month cause he came to the same cafe as her
TAEMIN HAS A NEW CAT AND THE NAME IS DAENGDAENGIE??? 😭😭😭😭😭
Have some Seonghwas cause I haven't been up to date with Ateez, but I checked Twitter and HEEEEEEEE ❤❤❤❤

Also good for your cousin, but come on don't slander MU fans that much sjsjaisjjsjssjsjshs (lowkey I consider being a Barca fan as red flag soz </3333) I decided not to pay attention to football for the time being cause it's boring and annoying and I can't even watch any matches live 🔫 I don't need the negativity in my life 🤚🏼 wtf is up in the F1 world? I see my man Lewis isn't winning :/
she really dodged a bullet, he was an absolute jerk who said the n word and then went and said “my parents didn’t raise me like that, know me for what i am right now and not for what i did yesterday” MU FANS ARE A RED FLAG ITS LITERALLY THEIR COLOUR FBWNFB 😭😭😭 WE DO NOT CARE BARCA IS 17 POINTS CLEARRRRR
f1…anon, yesterday was phew, the emotions as a ferarri fan- them being 26 points BEHIND MCLAREN IM ACTUALLY CRYING 😭😭😭 ,,, australian grand prix,,,, 8 dnf, 4 restarts, UNFAIR PENALTIES??? SOME WERENT EVEN GIVEN???? huge expensive crashes, they fucked ferarri over AGAIN they had a straight p4 and turned into p3 after a crash— they restarted the race and didn’t count that lap yet still gave ferarri a 5 second penalty in which they ended p11, no points for them- but red bull got them all bc the fia dickride them 🥰 HAMILTON AT LEAST GOT A P2 IT WAS SO FUNNY BC GNWNFBWK MERCEDES WAS P1 AND THEN THEY WENT P7 AND THEN A STRAIGHT DNF id be crying ngl they’re all too strong to not cry bfnwbdns it was a silverstone again, but at least alonso somehow got p3 🔫 did not deserve it ngl, mercedes not winning bc rocketship red bull won’t let them

THIS IS SO FUNNY GHWNDJKWHFKW
😭😭😭
Speaking of food, I discovered vegan Jeju and my faves are Lan's Kitchen, Cheesylazy (for some reason I thought the name was Cheesyslay sjsjsjsjskaja so now we call it that) and one cafe/bakery with amazing cakes - And 유. Also 7/11 and CU have some more vegan products and even accidentally vegan ones, so I'm living <3 /// Yeah Limitless was underwhelming, there's a song called Diamond that's nicer, not really my thing, but Hwa and Yunho sound so good! Though I prefer them on a different song called Diamond 😅❤
chessyslay 😭😭😭 i looked the restaurants up and omg they all look so good 😭😭😭 ANON SEND SOME HERE PLEASE JFVWKCHKC u know what forget limitless, dimaond. THIS. HWA SINGING ANGEL BABY PLS 😭😭
I just want Ateez to stop releasing unnecessary songs and focus on a full album. Also not another fucking festival and in Qatar of all places..... good for the fans, but 🤡🤡🤡🤡 and Xikers are going too, KQ is really doing everything to attach them to Ateez
I heard Jimin's song so many times, like it's EVERYWHERE and ngl the single is better and a decent club song, but overall... nothing great. Hybe continues to piss me off!!! And the encore he did was... rough. https://twitter.com/jnksoluna/status/1641461317428215813?t=1sChI621kLP7pKFGzYGTzg&s=19 all the fandoms are beating him up 😭
you are correct, want them to create a song with good b-sides, gathering songs that are actually their style + diving into r&b’s, reggaeton, dance pop’s etc,,, i really hope they chose songs by the sound and not bc the sound what their storyline is meant to be,,, ateez doing a song like oasis, body rhythm, tell me what to do— no rap, just everyone singing and vibing, give us a summer album with no empty chorus, a album where we can play the songs on a road trip with a car with no roof and just vibes GIVE IT TO US PLEASE 😭😭😭
NAURR THE ENCORE,, and then they released the edited version? 😭😭😭 what GOES ON PLEASE speaking off solo’s jisoo’s solo! my favourite is the second track; all eyes on me, has a better sound!
I really really need to watch The Glory, but I've heard and seen so many spoilers already, rip. I kinda wanna rewatch S1 of AOS, cause it's my comfort show for sure. Everyone who prefers S2 has the right to do so, but don't try to convince me it was better, just say you were blinded by the angst and fluff 🙄
YOU REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED TO ANON, forget the spoilers anon, pls watch it + han so hee and song hye kyo are starring in a drama together ✊🏻😭 LMFAOOOO IM SEEING A CHANGE ARE U BEGINNING TO PREFER S2 THAN S1 👀
Okay so about YOU, let me spoil you then - I hope it'll sense made - in s4 Joe went to the UK started hanging out with insufferable posh people and "met" a guy named Reese (he was a writer and was running for Mayor of London). Turned out Reese was killing said posh twats and tried to frame Joe, became his stalker, wanted to be killing mates together (the Reese x Joe ship has sailed ajsuajahjsjsja). BUT! Lots of people noticed that during gatherings Joe was the only one who interacted with Reese and like we suspected - that whole thing was only in Joe's head cause he has split personality. So he basically dissociates and doesn't know what's going on. Reese was a real guy that Joe was obsessed with, but they never actually met and Joe was behind all the murders. Now that Joe accepted the truth and still wants to act like a saviour I feel even more icky about s5, he was always awful but his delusional monologues were funny. Now that he has a rich girlfriend and acts like a entrepreneur I'm like 😬😬😬😬🤚🏼
wHAAAAAT

Help! My cat loves my FWB and so do I
by KiraInTheSky
“Sure, she gets all the sweet talk,” said Kaoru.
“Awe somebody is jealous of my little tesoro, maybe he wants to be my princess too” Kojiro cooed down at Hime. She purred loudly leaning into his touch. Kaoru scoffed, did the idea of Kojiro whispering sweet nothings to him in Italian make his pulse race? Sure, but Kojiro didn’t need to know that, not when Kaoru had these stupid feelings to get rid of.
or Kaoru is jealous of how much Kojiro loves his cat and Kojiro shows him he has nothing to worry about

My energy level is zero. That’s what Bria told Jon and Brad when they found her lying on the couch. She was so hyped up, she made herself tired. Was it depression? No, just a very low battery. Jon got the feeling she was being dramatic, so he sat down in front of her. It was two in the afternoon. He made sure she went to bed the previous night because he was not going to stay awake with her all night. When he left to have lunch with Brad, she was bouncing around downstairs.
She was trying to decide where she wanted to eat. That was a few hours ago. Did she eat something? Yes, cat food. Why did she eat cat food? She was just joking. It was the only thing aside from dog food she had at the house.
“Don’t you go grocery shopping or have someone grocery shop for you”, Brad asked.
“No. I eat out two to three times a day.”
“How can you afford that?”
“Bria is a multi-billionaire who will never run out of money”, Jon explained.
“Are you serious?”
Yes. She inherited her parents’ wealth when they died. Her wealth was growing with her music career. He did not know that. Jon went back to the issue at hand. He told her to get up, brush her hair, get dressed, and go eat lunch. They would be there when she got back. She got up and excused herself to do that. Brad laughed.
She was probably very hungry but didn’t realize it. That was why she was low on energy. She came down after ten minutes dressed and her hair brushed. Her outfit looked great. She was wearing a T-shirt, pants and jacket. Why was she dressed up? Because Nobu had a dress code. She was going to call Mike and see if he wanted to meet her there. Could he afford to eat there? No, but she loved spoiling him. She loved spoiling all of her friends because they never asked for anything from her.
No, Mike was busy. She called him while sitting in her car. He would love to go but he was working on new music with Jay Z and Brad. She jokingly called him a bitch, making him laugh. Joe, Brad, Rob, Phoenix, and Chester were also busy. As was Linsey. Adrien was available, so he agreed to meet her there. Awesome. She would grab a table for them.
Fucking ditching me for Jay Z. Asshole. JK. – Bria
Mike laughed when he got her text message. He shared it with the group. Brad found it funny, but Jay Z had so many questions. That was just her sense of humor. She called them assholes as a term of endearment. Oh, okay. Mike got the idea she added JK to let him know not to worry about her. He would still check in with her later.
Brad and Jon continued hanging out with the animals. They took the dogs outside to get exercise and use the bathroom. Her backyard was fenced in, so she didn’t have to worry about coyotes or other predators. Brad was impressed with the house the more time he spent in it. It was unique and well done. She and her friend left no stone unturned. They had an eye for detail. He could hear the waves hitting the beach below. Bark! Bark! He turned around to see one of the dogs chasing the other.
He couldn’t remember their names. One was older than the other and was wearing a dress. She was chasing her brother around the yard. Buddy stopped momentarily to see if Missy was still behind him. She was, so he continued running. Haha! You can’t catch me! Missy barked. Get back here! She growled, making him growl back. It was a playful growl. He ran over to her.
She swung her paw at him but missed. Her arms were too short and he was too far away. He smiled at her with his tongue out. After a while, they were both called back inside. They followed the humans into the house. They were both thirsty, anyway so they went over to their water bowls.
Adrien had fun eating with Bria. It felt like an unofficial date. This time, she wasn’t approached by any celebrities. He paid for what he could afford while she got the rest. That was how she did it with her friends. Was she sure? Yes. Okay, then he didn’t feel so guilty. The food was very good. Ten out of ten! The restaurant wasn’t too busy since it was a weekday. That meant faster service.
When they got back to her place, he was introduced to Jon and Brad who were in her kitchen. She told Jon not to interrogate him while she went upstairs and changed clothes. He promised not to. Adrien laughed. No, he didn’t interrogate him. They mostly talked about lunch.
She invited him to join her. It was very good food. Where did he meet Bria? It was at In-and-Out Burger. She was there with a friend and he got her phone number. When she came down, she had on the same shirt with sweatpants and a matching zip-up hoodie. She was in a more energetic mood. Did she invite Mike to join her for lunch? She did but he and Brad ditched her for Jay Z.
They were doing something with him. He might come over later. Everyone except Adrien declined. She looked down when she felt a paw on her leg. Anya. She had a stuffed rabbit in her mouth. It was the dogs’ but she stole it from them.
She picked her up and held her in her arms. Jon let her know that he and Brad took the dogs out. Awesome! She took the rabbit from her mouth and held it out to her. Anya grabbed it with her paws and held it against her chest. My rabbit. How was her energy level? It was ten out of ten. They laughed. Did she always have high energy? Mostly, yes. It was part of her BPD diagnosis. What was that?
“It’s an illness where you are hyper-sensitive to rejection and abandonment. You push people away because your mind tells you they’re leaving you. But then you beg them to stay with you. You’re also hypersensitive to emotions. Good or bad. It’s ‘go away I hate you. Come back. I love you.’ It’s a very difficult illness. You latch onto people you think are perfect. Then, you discard them. It could be friends or relationships. You do that to protect yourself from being abandoned.”
Jon and Dorothea were learning everything they could about it. Her friends were amazing because they let her express her emotions and they reassured her that they were never going to leave her. They also did everything they could to learn how to help her. Her illness affected how she saw the world. She had black-and-white thinking. Was it genetic?
Hers was genetic from her birth mother. It was also developed from childhood trauma. She also had PTSD, ADHD, anxiety and depression. Her birth mother had Borderline Personality Disorder and schizophrenia, along with childhood abuse and domestic violence.
She was an open book, so they could ask her whatever and she would not be offended. What was her PTSD from? September eleventh. She was in New York near the Twin Towers when it happened. She was fully recovered from that and had zero symptoms. It took years of therapy to get to that point. She took everything moment by moment because she never knew what emotion she would have next. If they wanted to learn more about BPD, she encouraged them to look online. They would do that.

More healed AU please?
Heck yeah let's go!!
-Alcina-
-Her daughters discover malls and the internet. She's totally doomed.
-Her new abode is a lovely yellow mansion on one of many low sloping hills. Her favorite thing to do is walk through the grape arbors as the sun sets and enjoy this strange new freedom.
-Since they aren't allowed human blood, she sets her daughters to the task of eliminating the pests that plague her grapes. When people visit unexpectedly they think Alcina has a bunch of cats. The girls like to leave "gifts" just to bug her.
-Absolutely a neat freak. Will randomly grap servants and lift them up to show them a dusty surface they missed.
-Spoils and scolds her daughters in turn, as tough as she tries to be on them they inevitably get away with several war crimes.
-Donna-
-Eventually she gets the courage to open a little arts and crafts store, since even though her Etsy was monetarily profitable, she was still very alone.
-Pretends Angie's her ventriloquist dummy while she's working, people stare a little but her wares are top quality so they don't mind too much.
-Her scar does disturb people a bit, but one day when she's very low someone tells her it "looks badass". She can't stop smiling for the rest of the day.
-Has on the phone spa days with Alcina where they paint their nails and lovingly harass each othet for "not getting out more".
-Once she realizes you can paint whole rooms their is no stopping her, ever room in her house changes color so frequently most people wouldn't recognize it a week after they saw it.
-Admittedly most rooms are various shades of purple but no one could ever guess her favorite color. Right?
-Moreau-
-Has a love hate relationship with large bodies of water now. He's loved them since he first toddled into the ocean, but there's.... less positive memories associated with them now.
-Constantly paranoid that he's going to change back at any minute, feels peoples eyes on him constantly.
-On a happier note, he gets to see musicals! Live!
-He goes to every performance for every show within driving distance (and he's not above driving several hours).
-Starts, eventually, working as a doctor again. It'll take a long time though. Trust, especially self-trust, is easily shattered and not so easy to repair.
-Enjoys the little things the most. Humming without choking on his bile, walking around without stares, ordering food from someone other than the Duke! He's over the moon for life.
-Heisenburg-
-Practically lives in junk yards. I don't know if stealing from them is illegal, but he could NOT care less.
-Prep talks younger mechanics in a supposedly threatening way, but he comes off as a gruff dad who's not-so-secretly proud of you.
-Makes giant coffee makers with unnecessary features "Of course it needs to be able to bissect someone in half with a hot stream if coffee, what if my enemy wants a cup o' joe?"
-Watches those "making fictional tech real" Youtube videos all the time and critiques people methods in the comments to the point that he's been banned on several occasions.
-Very perturbed by the idea of a bed, since he just falls asleep wherever his body decides. Makes side eyes at it as he passes out on the floor again.

"haha yeah, im with the others right now" reki said to the phone as he wiped a table clean. 
"really? are you at S?" y/n asked from the other line 
"oh no, we're at joe's restaurant." reki replied with a laugh "everyone's eating right now." he then covered the phone with his hand and sent them a nasty glare "everyone but me.. " he grumbled bitterly 
miya stuck his tongue out at the redhead and tauntingly bit into a piece of steak. "not our fault its your shift right now" he said. reki playfully rolled his eyes and brought the phone back against his ear. "anyways, y/n what're you up to?" he asked 
"i remember you mentioned joining a club right?" he said. "is it one for skating?! i didnt know schools even had those!" 
from the other line, y/n chuckled sheepishly. "ah no.. its a club for volleyball" she said "although im just a manager" 
reki furrowed his brows in confusion "volleyball? i didn't expect that" he said 
"me too reki. but it's really fun! if you ever come here we can try playing with my friends" she said excitedly 
"sure! im actually coming th-" before reki could finish his sentence, joe quickly covered his mouth and snatched the phone. "hey rookie!" joe greeted with a laugh "little reki here is busy at the moment but why don't ya chat with me?" he mused 
"oh, hi joe." she greeted him "why is reki busy? i thought you were just eating?" 
"ah well-" 
"are you lying? does reki not wanna talk to me? is he with someone else? or did something else happen?" she bombarded him with a chain of questions 
joe sweat dropped and looked over to the rest for help. "ah no, none of that happened, rookie" he reassured her "reki here is helping me out in the restaurant so he's a bit occupied" he explained 
"oh.." y/n mumbled in response "okay then" 
"dont spoil it, you slime!" miya scolded him "our visit is supposed to be a surprise!" 
"i was just excited!" reki defended himself with a huff "whatever, dude! y/n's gonna think i don't wanna visit her" he said 
"then make it up to her when you get there" shadow said as he ate . "good idea, old man shadow!" reki exclaimed "i'll do just that, but for now let me talk to her again-" 
before reki could reach for the phone, miya has already sprung up and snatched it. "y/n~" he cooed with a smug cat-like grin "how's it going?" he asked as he clawed reki's prying hands away 
"oh hi miya!" she greeted him cheerfully "everything is fine. though i miss you and everyone else" she said 
miya smiled in delight and his face exploded into a bright red hue. "you miss me?!" he asked excitedly. he then cleared his throat and scoffed. "how cute. you like me or something?" he said 
reki, along with the others watch with a deadpanned expression as miya shyly fiddles with his hoodie with a blush, although his tone of voice seems quite different. 
"of course i like you" y/n said 
miya splutters and throws the phone at reki's direction. "take it! i'm done here!" he shrieks as he turns his back at them and slaps his red face repeatedly. 
"you're my friend. why would i hate you?" she continued, although he wasn't there to hear it anymore. 
"hi y/n" reki said 
"hi!" she shrieked, followed by a loud thud, as if she had fallen. 
"hey, sorry about earlier! we can talk now if you want" he said with a chuckle 
"oh sure! lets--" 
reki's brows furrowed in confusion as the call suddenly disconnected mid-sentence. "hello?" he called out 
"huh? she hung up!" he exclaimed. "maybe she didn't want to talk to you" miya teased him. reki faced him with a look of distraught. "you think so?" he asked in panic 
"dude" miya sweat dropped "of course not. its y/n we're talking about" 
"REKI!" y/n shrieked out as she reached for the phone that was snatched out of her hands "why'd you take it?!" she exclaimed as she tried to reach for the device 
the class sweat dropped as they watched her try to reach for the phone in the teacher's hands
Tumblr media
"i don't know who reki is, but you can't use your phone. classes are about to start" he said 
"but-- but i was on a call with reki.." she sulked 
"you can call each other after class." the teacher sighed. "i won't take your phone since its your first time doing this, but let it be the last please" 
"okay.." y/n replied as she took the phone from him "i won't call during class. sorry." she said as she bowed her head 
"good. anyways-" the teacher cut himself off as he caught sight of her hunched over and rigorously typing on her phone. "hasegawa y/n! you can't text either!" the teacher scolded her 
"but i'm not making any noise.." she reasoned with a confused tilt of her head 
"it doesn't matter. you have to stop or i'll take away that phone." the teacher said. he then narrowed his eyes threateningly and said, "along with that skateboard of yours" 
the whole class sweat dropped as they watched y/n shudder in fear and quietly place the phone into her bag 
"sorry." she muttered as she placed her hands on the desk and tensely kept her eyes on the blackboard. "apology accepted." the teacher said. "anyways, let's start.." 
oikawa side eyed her, watching as her eyes and hands twitch , as if she was itching to pull her phone out again. the brunette leaned over iwaizumi, who groaned in annoyance, and poked her shoulder 
"yahoo, y/n-chan~" he whispered quietly 
"oikawa-san, please go away. if i make noise he'll take my phone and my board." she said 
oikawa frowned and poked her again. "don't be so cold to me, y/n-chan~" he cooed "i just wanted to ask you to join me for lunch later." he said. "lunch?" y/n hummed. "yup. let's do something fun together" he replied. 
"okay, oikawa-san" she agreed with a curt nod. "i'll join you" 
"hasegawa." the teacher called on her. y/n jumped and shakily faced the man. "yes?" she replied. "answer the question on the board." the teacher said 
"i can't!" she quickly denied. 
"why not?" the teacher said with a sigh "this is english class. you're from canada right? all im asking is for you to say something in english." 
"sorry!" she replied in english. "please don't take my phone and my skateboard away." 
"good job." the teacher gave her a nod before moving on 
"sorry" oikawa chuckled sheepishly "lunch later, okay?" he cooed. y/n simply nodded and gave him a thumbs up, refusing to speak a word. 
"shut the fuck up, shittykawa." iwaizumi grunted as he pushed the brunette away. "you're causing everyone problems" 
"ow! just for that, you're not invited to our lunch" oikawa said, to which iwaizumi simply replied with an eye roll 
"you didn't even plan on inviting me anyways, didn't you?" iwaizumi huffed
"duh!" 
"so why did you want to have lunch together, oikawa-san?" she asked him
Tumblr media
"i see" y/n hummed. "im glad you enjoy my company, oikawa-san" she grinned
"no reason~" he cooed in response. "i just wanted to be alone with you, that's all" he said
oikawa nodded along as he transferred some food from his bento onto hers. it was placed on top of her board as she lightly rolls it around. "tell me about that reki guy, will you?" oikawa said with a curious hum. "i always hear you talking about him.." 
y/n peered up at him with a look of confusion, but nodded nonetheless. "i don't know why you'd like to know about him but okay.." 
"reki is my best friend. i met him when i moved to okinawa with my mom. he was my first ever friend and he was the one that taught me how to skate" she explained 
oikawa watched as a fond smile lightly grazed her lips, followed by a distinctive glimmer in her eyes. 
"reki is really amazing. i admire him a lot." she muttered 
"i see." oikawa hummed. "i'll love to meet him one day" he said. y/n perked up at the statement. "really?" she asked "don't worry, if you ever met him you'll get along just fine! reki is very friendly" she said with a smile 
oikawa simply nodded and quietly ate his food. she did the same, and they both sat in silence. "hey, y/n" oikawa muttered "you really like skating huh?" he mused 
"oh well... yeah, i guess so" she said. "can you teach me how?" oikawa asked with a cheeky grin. "teach you..?" she cocked her head to the side. "why?" 
"no reason." oikawa huffed "but will you do it?" 
"sure!" 
"put your foot here, and push with the other" she demonstrated as she explained. "then you just have to keep your balance" 
Tumblr media
oikawa watched with calculating eyes, nodding along from time to time as he listened. "usually, tricks should come later on when you've already mastered the basics. but it was pretty easy for me, so maybe you can do it too, oikawa-san" she said 
"that was an ollie. reki said that if you got that down, you'll be able to do other tricks." she said. "it should be easy enough to learn" she grinned "just watch videos like i did!" 
she did an ollie and skated closer to him. 
oikawa sweat dropped and timidly placed his foot on the skateboard. "i don't think it'll be that easy, y/n-chan" he chuckled 
"yo, what the hell are you two doing?" 
they both looked back to see hanamaki, matsukawa, and iwaizumi walking towards them. hanamaki laughed and pointed at oikawa "are you learning how to skate?" he snickered 
"do a flip!" matsukawa hollered 
"i can't do a flip yet!" oikawa exclaimed "and don't laugh at me. you're probably no better than i am" he rolled his eyes. "but y/n-chan could probably do it" he said
"oh y/n?" matsukawa mused. "can you enlighten us with your skating?" he snickered 
"you always carry that around but we've never actually seen you skate" hanamaki chimed in 
y/n blinked at them and looked down at her board. "i guess i can do that" she said "but we'll need a bigger space than the grounds" she said as she motioned to the outside of the gym, where they were standing
"something like..." she trailed off as she looked around the area "like the roof?" she muttered 
the boys sweat drop and look at her in concern and confusion. "the roof?" they simultaneously asked 
"yeah. i'll jump and do a flip like you asked." she said with a shrug as she makes her way to the stairway leading to the rooftop 
"hey hey! hold on!" matsukawa interjected "are you trying to kill yourself?!" he exclaimed 
"no im trying to jump off the roof and do a flip." she shook her head 
"exactly! it's the same thing!" hanamaki shrieked out "you'll die!" 
"i won't die" she reassured them, thought it did not work in the slightest. "i've done this numerous times." she smiled at them 
"is that supposed to be comforting?" iwaizumi sighed and rubbed his temples in distress. "shittykawa. do something about this" iwaizumi said as he sent oikawa a glare 
"ahaha, right right" oikawa chuckled sheepishly. he then turned to face y/n, only to be met with thin air. "y/n.." he muttered "where is she.." he spluttered and looked up, eyes widening as he spotted her on the rooftop preparing to jump off "hey! y/n-chan get down! this feels like a crime scene in the making!" he rambled as he tried to persuade her to come down 
"oikawa-san, please watch carefully!" she yelled 
"no way! get down here right now!" oikawa yelled back at her 
"jump down?!" she yelled "okay! im gonna do it now!" 
oikawa paled as he shook his head and made an x with his arms "no! i said get down! but use the stairs! don't jump!" 
she simply ignored him and jumped anyways, much to the boys' horror. "this feels nostalgic" she muttered to herself with a smile as the wind made her hair fly around 
she spun around and grinned as the adrenaline started to make her heart pound. she placed her hand on top of her chest and kept her eyes ahead, although her mind was wandering back to her moments back in s
"holy shit" oikawa muttered as they watched her maneuver through the air as if it was no big deal 
"y/n is fucking amazing" he blinked his widened eyes and watched in bewilderment as she lands on the ground with a loud thud, followed by the mild screeching of the wheels against the concrete. 
"oikawa-san, this is called 'siderail slide' miya taught it to me." she said as she kicked her board around and let it land on its side by the edges of the concrete 
(WAIT IDK IF THAT'S THE NAME LMAO I MADE THAT UP I TRIED TO LOOK IT UP BUT I CAN'T FIND WHAT IT'S CALED SORRY CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLS LOL) 
her feet landed on the side of the deck as she maneuvers her way around to turn. "stop explaining and get back here!" iwaizumi scolded her "are we going to let the fact that you jumped off a roof slide just like that?!" 
"and this is a kick flip." she said as she ignored iwaizumi and did the trick as told. "it should be easy enough to do if you know how to ollie." she said 
"hey, what's going on here?!" 
her eyes widened as she heard the same teacher's voice and desperately tried to halt her movement. although she wasn't fast enough and she was now frantically ushering the man to move away 
"ah! sensei! move! im gonna hit you!" she shrieked as she tried wobbled around 
"what the-- hasegawa-san you shouldn't--" 
he couldn't finish his words as her board suddenly got dangerously close to his face. the whirring wheels and the snow monster design almost slapping him right then and there. 
"SORRY!" she shrieked as she jumped over him and fell on the ground, rolling around, along with her board until she hit a wall nearby 
"y/n-chan! are you okay?!" oikawa shrieked in distress as he pushed the man away and sprinted to the girl. "im okay, oikawa-san" she said with a wince 
"but my butt hurts from that fall" she pouted "and my hand-- BLOOD!" she shrieked in fear. she holds the bleeding hand away from her as her expression turns into dread. "wipe it off.." she gagged as she looked at it in horror
"this is what bothers you the most out of everything that's happened?!" oikawa sighed in exasperation, though he did as he was told. 
"i don't like blood." she shuddered. "broken bones are what im used to" 
"im starting to worry for your well being if broken bones is something you consider 'the usual'." oikawa sweatdropped
behind them, the teacher glared and held his hand out expectantly. "i was wondering what the screaming was about." he said "but i didn't expect to walk in on whatever that was" 
"give me the skateboard, hasegawa-san." he demanded, making her whole body go ghostly pale 
"no uh.. i'll take detention instead" she bargained with a sheepish smile. "nope. give me the skateboard." the teacher shook his head as he went to grab the deck 
"NO! you can't take that!" she panicked and quickly grasped the other end "i can't skate without it!" she exclaimed 
"exactly." the teacher said. "you need to learn your lesson." 
"but -- but reki made that! i can't lose it! what if it breaks?!" she shrieked, now starting to gradually get more desperate 
"its not gonna break. and i don't know who this reki boy is, but you have to stop including him in everything." the teacher sweat dropped "and let go of the damn skateboard, kid. im not gonna throw it away, im just confiscating it" 
she shook her head as she peered up at him with exaggeratedly teary eyes, each looking like a pool of water waiting to just overflow. 
"will i get it back tomorrow?" 
"no." 
"then im not giving it!" 
"kid, cmon. your making this job harder for me" the man sighed in exasperation ."just give it." he said as he pulled it away from her and walked away. "hope you learned your lesson, kid. you'll get this back soon enough" 
y/n watched his retreating figure with a deadpanned look. she slowly faced oikawa and grabbed his hand. "should i break into his office and steal it?" 
oikawa sweat dropped and shook his head. "you shouldn't. you'll get into more trouble" he said 
"y/n!!" matsukawa and hanamaki yelled as they dove in to check her for injuries. "are you okay?! that was sick as hell but be careful!" hanamaki exclaimed. "you're bleeding!" 
"and your board got taken! don't worry, that teacher's nice. he'll give it back to you soon" matsukawa reassured her 
y/n drowned their voices out as she laid back down on the concrete, looking absolutely lifeless. "i crave death" she squeaked out as her eye twitches in horror 
"cmon now" iwaizumi sighed "it's not that bad" 
"yes it is. i just lost the only thing i have left of reki. it's over" she sulked 
"someone make the pain go away" she pleaded 
"which one? the heartbreak kind or your injuries?" 
"both please." 
a few buildings away from the school adam sat by the balcony of his newly rented hotel room. he held a binocular by his eyes as he watched the scene go down with a wide grin
Tumblr media
"my eve hasn't lost her touch i see" he mused as he took a sip of his wine. "her skating is still as immaculate as ever" adam said as he let out a sigh of pleasure
"it makes my skin crawl!" he exclaimed
"and she.." he trailed off as his vision averts over to her, who was being helped by the boys. "is frowning. my eve is frowning." adam muttered as his grip around the device tightens, causing a soft snap to be heard.
his smile then fell as he watched the teacher walk away with y/n's skateboard through his binoculars. "but that nuisance is taking my little y/n's skateboard..?" he muttered
"you, dog." he called
"yes, mr.ainosuke?" tadashi replied
"get that skateboard back." he demanded as he threw the binoculars away, not caring that it had broken due to the impact. "and give it back to her as soon as possible" he said. 
"but.. are you not worried she'll know you're here?" tadashi asked him with furrowed brows 
adam snapped his eyes towards him and glared. "what was that? we're you about to disobey my orders just now?" he scowled through gritted teeth 
"do you have something to say? tadashi?" 
tadashi slightly bowed his head and replied. "no sir. i have no opinions." 
adam scoffed, followed by a grim laugh. 
"yeah. as always."

You asked for it: live thoughts from Ria and @creatrixanimi​ watching RvB Zero.
So, after having a movie night the day before (third movie night in a week, actually, we are very productive) watching Neil Breen movies and “Cool Cat”, it was now time to touch upon Zero. Sadly, Zero does not belong in the “so bad it’s good” category, but alas, Ria had to spoil Haley’s innocence.
This is not a proper edited review, but just snippets of our live reaction while watching the thing together. We are not drunk, but this continued way past midnight for Ria, so maybe her brain isn’t fully functioning. Also, Ria is a potty mouth because cursing is easy when it’s not your native language. Enjoy.
Episode 1:
Ria: I can’t figure out if they were trying to do a Grif and Simmons parallel with those two random guards talking outside, the ones with the Wash retconning.
Haley: Their armor doesn’t cover their noses. 
Ria: That’s gotta be cold. Frostbitten noses.
...
Haley: There is no exposition. Like, it feels like the writers had their idea and know what is going on, but we don’t so it just feels weird and random. It feels like a Marvel movie.
Ria: Is that a compliment? I haven’t watched Marvel.
Haley: Not a good one.
 ...
Ria: This episode isn’t that bad in itself. But it’s just there to establish that the OG characters can’t beat this new villain, but the new guys can, and, urgh.
 ...
Episode 2:
[The shot focuses on One’s behind.]
Ria’s dirty mind: Ass.
 ...
Ria: STOP CALLING HIM DAVID.
...
Ria: I like this character, but I don’t remember his name.
Haley: Raymond.
Ria: This is why we need a name system like with the Freelancers and states. Should’ve just been numbers all the way through. Except Eleven, you fucking whore.
 ...
Haley at the sight of Raymond’s phone: It’s so big.
Ria: It’s the future. I can believe it.
 ...
Ria: Here’s the thing driving me crazy. Axel is a normal name in Denmark. But like, only old people use it. I know two Axels and they are both older than eighty. So that’s when I think of when I see Axel.
 ...
[After the whole training montage where we are introduced to the characters, we are still confused.]
Ria: I can’t remember their names.
Haley: Well, they didn’t show all of them. They didn’t show One.
Ria: They did!
Haley: They did?
Ria: Wow. So we got all that tell and no show, and we are still confused.
 ...
Haley: When it comes to genre, it’s actually not that bad with the narrated tell and don’t show. If it wanted to be a cheesy/bad action movie, that’s a trope that’s used relatively frequently in the genre. It’s a bad action movie. But it’s not RvB. It’s kinda like a particularly bad Marvel movie.
Ria: You’re really not selling me on the Marvel movies tonight.
 ...
Ria: I know I’m just a sucker for Joe, but I keep thinking of s15. Like, here they just use the files as a cheap way to introduce the characters. But like, in s15, Dylan just read out loud Grif’s file, and it was not to introduce him, but like, to show the complexity of the characters and go against the files? I don’t know, it just seems way cooler now.
 ...
[After the whole “what’s East’s deal” scene, we were so confused. Literally paused for five minutes trying to figure who was whose dad and why and what. How many daughters did Axel have? And where are they? We were just lost. Future Haley: Him waxing poetic about his daughters while watching the two girls in his team train confused me like I thought he was talking about East and One and couldn’t count sdfghjk. Future Ria: I’d even watched the show before and I was still confused.]
Ria: I can’t figure out if they’re too fast or if we’re just stupid.
Haley: It’s like I’m trying to remember the details but it all slips through my fingers.
Ria: The whole Zero experience is to feel too old for this shit.
 ...
Ria: STOP FUCKING CALLING HIM DAVID
 ...
One: This is how it’s done, grandma.
Ria: Fuck you.
 ...
Episode 3:
Haley: People would like it if they love dumb action shows. It works as a mindless action show.
 ...
Haley: So this is a temple?
Ria: I hate the worldbuilding. Is this the same planet as before? Like, Chorus had temples, but it also had lore about it. Is this the same sort of temples?
Haley: So shouldn’t this temple have its own key? Why do they need to include Tucker? It makes no sense for the temple to require a totally different sword from a different planet.
Ria: So they could beat him up ‘cause OG characters are weak now.
 ...
Haley: I don’t like the training scenes. They are so long and boring.
Ria: This is like the third episode where they are training. Holy shit.
 ...
Haley: It’s not that bad. But if you like Red vs. Blue, it’s not something for you. They aren’t really comparable.
Ria: I just don’t understand what they wanted to continue for Red vs. Blue. Like, it’s not the worldbuilding or the plot or the characters. I just don’t get it.
 ...
Haley: Raymond is the best character.
Ria: I like Raymond.
Haley: He’s RvB. He should be the main character.
 ...
Ria: Did East just use the “I’m not like the other (girls)” line?
Haley: I don’t like her. She’s a brat. Why did Carolina have to apologize? They were just training, this is something she’s gonna have to deal with on a daily basis lmao.
Ria: Didn’t Carolina have a cast on her arm? It’s gone now. I can’t keep up with the timeline. So, she’s healed, but how long was Wash gone? They are so vague about everything. Worldbuilding, timeline, motivations.
 ...
Ria: …Did Carolina just say she’d suit up? While wearing a full armor suit?
 ...
[And this is where the cursed part takes place. To talk, we’d often pause the thing. Here, I randomly paused during the introduction for Starlight Laboratories. There’s a desk in the shot. With a fucking marker on it.]
Tumblr media
Haley: That’s a Crayola marker. That’s a Crayola marker on the table.
Ria: Glad we can appreciate the details by pausing.
[Haley then missed the entire Axel flashback scene because she was too busy looking up pictures of Crayola markers. When this is revealed, Ria lost it for like, three minutes]
Haley: I had that marker as a kid. 
Ria: So 4/5 stars for the marker?
Haley: They were supposed to smell like blueberries or something but they just smelled like chemicals.
Ria: This is the most excited we’ve been about Zero so far.
[Future Haley: I was literally laugh-crying you dont understand. This was the best part of the show.]
...
Episode 4:
Ria: They all have super powers. It’s so weird.
Haley: I keep thinking they are gonna explain stuff. But they don’t. So I’m just confused.
 ...
[Haley has now brought forth all the markers in her room to find a Crayola one. She drops them all on the floor. Ria loses it again.] [Future Haley update: I found a yellow one it smells like lemons :)]
 ...
Ria: They are all glowing and have super powers. It’s weird. Like, I know we had super powered armor before but that was all connected to AIs. I don’t get how all of this works. They don’t have AIs.
 ...
[We both agree that we enjoy Raymond and Tiny. Bless them.]
 ...
Ria: It’s weird. The dialogue is so oblivious, it comments on its own mistakes. Like, Carolina just acknowledged Wash has had a computer in his head before. But they don’t acknowledge the whole canonical lore about his trauma regarding computers in his head and why he’d hate this. Same with the name David. They just noticed that it’s his first name and that’s how they’d show how close Carolina is with him, but they didn’t acknowledge the canon lore that Wash dislikes people using his first name.
 ...
Episode 5:
Haley: Why didn’t they use Locus’ sword instead. It’d make more sense. He’s the one travelling around planets and wanting to help people?? 
Ria: What’s the worldbuilding here? Is Tucker on the same planet? Is this Earth? Chorus?
 ...
Haley: Gotta love it when they make Tucker hit on teenagers.
Ria: Oh god why did they make East 18.
 ...
Haley: They should have done something with the Warthog song, even if that’s a Red Team thing.
Ria: I miss Red Team.
 ...
Ria: Wait, so if these three swords are connected, why can the two first ones move by themselves and they have like super powers connected to them? When Tucker’s sword is just boring? They didn’t even make a joke about how the two new swords are longer than Tucker’s.
 ...
Tucker: I’m fine, I have my sword.
Ria: That line is so tragic in hindsight.
 ...
One: It’s Tucker. He is dead.
Carolina: Oh my god.
Haley: *laughs her ass off*
 ...
Haley: I don’t understand why anyone is doing anything.
Ria: Your brain is still thinking about that fucking marker.
 ...
Episode 6:
Ria: The dialogue did it again! Wash just said “amazing medical tech”. Like, he points out a plot hole. Because that amazing tech can heal brain injuries and bring people back from death, but East had to be tortured for years to heal her vague illness? Like, why couldn’t their amazing tech fix that.
 ...
[While watching the design of the temple.]
Ria: It looks like those are just plates glued to the wall. Dinner is served.
 ...
Haley: There is no logical reason why they brought in Tucker. His sword isn’t even from this planet.
Ria: To lure in fans.
 ...
Haley in a very sad voice: The speech wasn’t good.
 ...
Episode 7:
Ria: Is all of this happening on the same planet? They keep driving. The worldbuilding is so weird. At least earlier RvB made a joke about how they could just drive everywhere. This is like a big desert, a training base, laboratory, city and temples and Tucker’s workplace, and I don’t know if it’s even on the same planet.
 ...
Ria: Diesel is just standing there waiting while they outfit Carolina.
Haley: It’s like a video game.
 ...
Ria: The temple’s walls are filled with runes.
Haley: It feels like a free/bought asset. It doesn’t even look like the temples on Chorus. It looks like something in WoW or something like that.
Ria: It’s driving me mad. I can read runes! Imagine a big boss fight and the freaking alphabet is plastered on the walls. That’s what I’m looking at.
 ...
Haley: Zero is such a boring villain. It’s not interesting when we don’t know what this “power” actually is or what he wants to do with it.
 ...
Ria: That’s the helmet Spencer wore.
Haley: Oh god I forgot about him.
Ria: So did the writers.
Haley: Spencer should have been the real villain.
 ...
Haley: *sees the random model of the temple guardian alien* I miss Santa.
 ...
Episode 8:
Ria: The aliens are just dancing in the background while Carolina is fighting Diesel.
Haley laughing: Oh my god, they are. They are just jumping up and down.
 ...
Ria: So, the villain just turned overpowered, and the solution is that Raymond just flicks a switch we haven’t heard about and now the heroes are overpowered too?
Haley: It just makes them shiny. And like... they don’t even use the “power”, they don’t fight him with their powers which only some of them have, they just shoot their ordinary guns at him while doing unnecessary flips.
Ria: I just remembered Church’s dick switch. That had more dramatic buildup.
 ...
Axel: You’re too cocky for that.
Ria’s dirty brain: Cock.
 ...
Post Zero thoughts:
[Ria returns from bathroom break and Haley is proudly showing off her marker over video cam.]
Haley: There was too much going on so I just focused on the marker.
Ria: So how many stars would you give it?
Haley: It’s really bad.
Ria: How many stars for marker representation?
Haley: Three out of five. It was only there for a second.
 ...
Haley: In the beginning, it wasn’t that bad. It was dumb, but also fun and sorta cool. But then it just went on for too long and they didn’t explain anything properly and it stopped being fun really fast. But I can see why some people might enjoy it. Like, you’d love it for its action but only that. Not for plot and/or the character writing.
Ria: I think my biggest problem is the worldbuilding. They kept everything so vague because they didn’t want to connect, not really. Like, where is this happening? When? Why are Carolina and Wash there? Like, the motivations for all the characters were so vague as well.
 ...
Haley: Raymond was great. He had personality and some good lines. And he felt like RvB. Like, he used his brain and actually got shit done, but he also wasn’t over-powered. He followed a similar character arc to what the Reds and Blues had. He sucks at fighting but he’s efficient and smart in a practical way with his rocket launcher. He does the most and he doesn’t stop being a goofball! Even Zero was focused on stopping him the most at the end. And he didn’t need to do any stupid flips.
 ...
Haley: The borrowed assets annoyed me. It ended up looking stupid, like, the temple felt more like fantasy than science fiction. And nothing like Chorus. And normally, RvB doesn’t have to worry about being cohesive because all of the designs are from Halo so it all makes sense and it’s connected. But this is just so random it feels distracting, I feel like this is a big reason people felt that Zero was so jarring… but on a subconscious level. It just felt off and there was no cohesive design. Also everything looked like it was made for video games and not modified at all for the show.
 ...
Haley: Honestly I was optimistic at first but then I got confused really fast and it kept getting worse because it was so fast. They didn’t explain stuff properly or at all. Like, they made it too big. Should have been smaller. I thought going with the “Starlight Labs is evil and needs to go down” plot would have been A LOT better and would have tied together multiple aspects of the story that the temple plot didn’t.
Ria: If I had the power which I don’t, I dunno, but I if the main point was to introduce new characters, I’d keep them tied to lore and worldbuilding we already know. So we don’t get so confused and it doesn’t feel so disconnected. Like, I’m still in love with the idea that it should have been Carolina on Chorus dealing with these soldiers who have been fighting all their lives and now don’t have to do that anymore. But maybe Chorus still needing an army, and that��s why she is training it. I don’t know, but like, familiar, build on what we know. And then they wouldn’t be superpowered, but like, just competent-ish but normal soldiers and we’d get to know them better, but I just think Zero just wanted them to be these super cool soldiers even better than Carolina so they could pull off all the fight scenes. ‘Cause it’s all Zero has going for it. The fight scenes. It’s its strength and weakness ‘cause they sacrificed everything else to look cool. And it does. But it’s boring and there is nothing else going on.
 ...
Ria: I’m still so annoyed about the temples. Why are they there? Like, on Chorus it was a big thing, also plotwise, but it had lore connected to it and the worldbuilding explained it. So, where are these temples? A different planet, right? Is it the same aliens? Are people just cool with the temples? Why haven’t they been explored before. Chorus made sure to explain all of that.
 ...
Haley: The West and East scene-
Ria: Feast.
Haley: Confused me. ‘cause West didn’t really regret anything. He just said why he did it. And then all of the sudden East forgave him and rejoined the team. It was so weird. He doubled down on the thing she hated him for so much I was like “Wow he’s kinda an asshole” and then all of a sudden she was on his side? What?
 ...
Haley: Zero does its job if you want action and nothing else. And it’s not RvB. Don’t watch it if you like RvB. And I just want to acknowledge that we are nitpicking. Quite a bit. I’ll admit that. But, I wouldn’t nitpick the other RvB seasons the same way because the old RvB never took itself seriously the way Zero did.
Ria: I agree. We are nitpicking. But like, that’s why we have the movie nights.
Haley: But we are also allowed to criticize it. You can do that with any season. And with the other seasons, you could nitpick it and you can find stuff you don’t like, but there are always stuff you do like or that other people like. I just can’t find anything about Zero that I like. Besides Raymond.
Ria: Yeah. Like, I really love 15. And it had so many flaws people pointed out. And when it comes to criticism and Zero, I just don’t see many points about why people like it. They are allowed to do that though. But, like, we could have a movie night where we watch the Chorus seasons and we’d nitpick so much because we both have issues with it, but there is still so much stuff we’d still like.
Haley: I like Raymond though. He’s like Grimmons lovechild.
Ria: No. Fuck you. Don’t put that in my brain.
 ...
Haley: Raymond being in this… I want to say it feels like the Freelancers seasons but if Grif was part of the team or something. But that’s just “Hit and Run”. *laughs*
Ria: NO! That’s cursed. Shut up. Also, the Freelancers were way better written.
Haley: And those seasons made better sense.
Ria: And like, the Freelancer seasons did the thing with change of tone and have these new and super cool characters and fight scenes. But they kept half of the seasons to be around the Reds and Blues so we still had the humor and the dumbasses, and Zero just, it didn’t connect.
 ...
Haley: So, I have some thoughts on Zero.
Ria: I know, you fuck, I had to write them all down by hand.
Haley: I like bad movies, actually, but Zero didn’t stay fun, so no, I didn’t enjoy it.
 ...
Ria: Do you forgive me for making you watch Zero?
Haley: Yeah.
Ria: What should we watch next?
...
Also, Haley dressed up her dog for the event and you all deserve to see her:

boyfriend jumin headcanons
theres no way hes been in a relationship before, never even kissed someone before. you best believe hes going to go all in hes so starved for love
he needs to hear every single thing about your life, even the littlest things. he will remember it all, and asks so many questions too. could listen to you talk for hours and never get bored. your life is so different from his, he finds it fascinating. always wants to know more.
at the beginning of the relationship he has an extremely hard time controlling himself and finding whats right and wrong in a romantic relationship. you have to be very open with your boundaries or he’ll treat you like a doll, he cant help himself hes just so enamored.
does SO much research on relationships, he doesnt like the advice he finds but hes looking in all the wrong places. seven gives him links for real advice from real people reddit instead of mens magazines because those all suck. jumin starts to ask him for help whenever hes curious about something and seven will find a link for him to read. it helps bridge their relationship a bit more. seven is one of those friends thats amazing at relationship advice but for some reason desperately single.
even though he’s new to relationships and still trying to figure it out, that does not mean hes bad at it. no sir. this man was raised on romantic novels and cheesy soap operas. he knows his way into your heart easy peasy
the most beautiful arrangements of flowers delivered to your doorstep, your favorite foods from the most gourmet restaurants in seoul sent right to your work, hand written love letters sealed in wax sent to you while he’s away on business. declares his undying love for you over the phone almost daily.
hes never been around women much before, rikas the exception but he wasnt around around her like you would be with a lover. so hes interested finding out about your habits, routines, likes. the way you cook breakfast in the morning, the way you do your bedtime routine, your afterwork routine. always finding something new to love about you every new day.
he really adores anything and everything you think is a flaw. he prefers you with your quirks rather than aiming for perfection. theres nothing wrong with being “plastic” but the majority of those types of women he’s been around are the rich snobby type more than every day women. he prefers you. again hes never been close to many women so its kind of amazing but sad the things you can find to think harshly about. things he absolutely would never imagine someone being insecure about in the first place. he loves this body, it makes him upset when youre so critical to it.
he’ll explain to you what goes on behind the scenes of corporations and how exactly they make you insecure about those odd little things just to profit off of it, theres nothing wrong with you to begin with but if you believed that then they would be out of business, you see. knowing that aspect of things is why hes understanding but still saddened by your insecurities.
hes a very possessive man and is unashamed about it. hes never had anything as important as you to protect before so he doesnt care how ridiculous he may be sometimes, as long as youre safe. body guards, frequent calls, locations on, always wanting to be with you if he can. if that all bothers you i feel like that would be a bit of a disagreement area. his personality is naturally possessive and he does it out of love so bear with him please. he would definitely tone down as time progressed but for now he doesn’t want to let you out of his sight. trusts you, not other people.
he likes to observe you a lot, your day to day. it’s interesting to him even though it can be a little annoying to you sometimes. asks questions constantly. hes so curious. jumin let me go to the bathroom in peace hes literally a child
it makes him so happy when you laugh at his jokes. everyone else thinks they’re not funny but he doesnt care, as long as you laugh hes happy.
if you wear make-up it’s literally amazing for him to watch. he’ll stand in the bathroom and just observe. you can GLUE eyelashes to your FACE?! and its common?! this is so shocking to him. he had no clue. its kind of embarrassing for you but hes just so interested. never watched someone put on makeup before. the process is so intricate and careful, hes so fascinated by this strange magic. youre so smart too, he doesnt know any of the names of the things you use but always asks so he can remember for gift giving purposes. shades you like, shades you dont like, companies you dont buy from, your favorite brands. somehow has a giant mental notepad and writes all this down for safe keeping
speaking of smart he thinks you are the smartest person on the face of this earth. hes so confused at certain aspects of life and you help him get it. why do people eat fried chicken when its not nutritionally dense or even healthy to consume? it doesn’t make sense. because its yummy, jumin. wow, youre so right...
always texts you little reminders throughout the day to show his love. dont forget to eat breakfast dear. dont forget to wear sunscreen before you go out love, its hot today. dont forget that i love you so much my darling ♥︎ SO CUTE hes so caring
this man is so so touch starved, he always wants to hold you or touch you in someway. if he could bring you everywhere with him he would. he starts to get anxious if he goes too long without your comfort, truly doesn’t know how he made it for so long without it
not the biggest fan of pda but it depends on the situation. he likes making others jealous but he doesn’t want anyone else to see the way you look after he kisses you in that one special way that only he can. thats for his eyes only
loves showering you in anything you desire. you are spoiled. he’d buy you a whole ass island if you wanted one. he never understood how his father could just give away so much to a woman but now he cannot say a THING. he’d go completely broke as long as it made you happy
if you dont like tons of store bought gifts he’ll spend more time on meaningful ones. picking you flowers from the rooftop garden and arranging them himself, he embroiders as a pastime so he’ll make you cute little cat decals and stuff like that
he likes to do things for you like paint your nails, wash your hair, put lotion on you after a bath etc. loves it so much, if youre not comfortable with him babying you its totally fine but if you are he’ll do it whenever you let him
he has very cold hands. never really thought about them until he met you, really hopes you dont mind. tries to warm his hands up where he can before he touches you, but secretly loves when he runs his cold fingertips down your skin and you get gooseflesh all over. thinks its cute.
gets insecure sometimes. not really about his looks, but his personality. luciel is funny, zen is handsome and suave. yoosung is sweet and open with his emotions. he wonders frequently why you chose him out of anyone else.
all in all jumin is someone you need to get used to being in a relationship with, hes not the average joe and has a lot going on with himself that he needs to work through. but if you help him, love him for him, he’ll be the sweetest lover you could ever ask for.

Easy CO. Holiday Reacts
Tumblr media
Gif not mine! Credit to owner.
a/n: happy holidays everyone! i know everyone doesn’t celebrate Christmas, so if you don’t, no specific holiday is mentioned in this so everyone can read :)
warnings: none
taglist: @hellitwasyoufirstsergeant @mavysnavy @ivy-miranda-2390 @ya-yeeteth @rayofshanshine @primusk @punkgeekchic @inglourious-imagines @wexhappyxfew @vintagelavenderskies @easy-company-tradition @meteora-fc @teenmagazines @order-of-river-phoenix @contrabandhothead
—————————————-
Richard Winters:
- When the holiday season rolls around, Richard can’t stop the excitement that arises in him.
- It’s not the gifts that excite him, Richard always tells everyone to not get him anything and that he already has everything he needs.
- He’s excited about the time that he gets to spend with you- decorating, cooking, and shopping for presents for friends and family.
- He loves the little break from work he gets, content with getting to sleep in, with you in his arms.
- He knows it’s time he’ll never get back, and he cherishes it more than any gift anyone could possibly get him.
- He finds himself happier than he ever thought he could be when he wakes up with you in his arms, protecting each other from the cold air that is just outside your mess of blankets.
- After a few minutes, he can’t stop himself from pressing light, fleeting kisses to your face, smiling when your eyes flutter open.
Lewis Nixon:
- Unlike Richard, gifts are a big thing for Lewis during the holidays.
- Since he grew up with a wealthy family, he uses his money to show his love.
- He showers you with gifts all month long, handing them to you with a smile, his hands sweaty with anticipation.
- “I know you mentioned wanting this a while ago, I just couldn’t find it anywhere until a few days ago. I’ve been looking all around.”
- He looks at you nervously as you unwrap the box, smiling when you realize it’s a book you had told him you were interested in reading.
- He wraps his arm around you as you thank him, pulling you into his side.
- “I’m glad you like it, sweetheart.” He mumbles as he presses a kiss to your forehead.
Ron Speirs:
- Ron is indifferent when it comes to the holidays.
- He’s not overly excited or overly annoyed by the holiday cheer, he doesn’t care either way.
- He doesn't spoil your fun though, taking you to go see the lights in the city and in your neighborhood.
- You both get bundled up, hands intertwined as you walk around with smiles.
- He’ll kiss your temple whenever your face lights up, mumbling “You like this one? It’s pretty.”
- As you walk back to the car, he’ll unbutton his coat before pulling you into his side, wrapping his arm and half of his coat around you.
- “You’re so cold, baby, let me warm you up.”
Eugene Roe:
- Growing up with a big family, the holidays always meant chaos for Eugene.
- When he went away to fight, he spent too many away from home, experiencing a new kind of chaos.
- So, when you and Gene spent your first December together, he was shocked to find himself relaxed every night.
- He’d sit on the couch, exhausted and eyes half lidded as he watched you hang up the decorations and hum to yourself.
- “Come here.” He’d always end up mumbling, patting the open spot next to him. “I miss you.”
- When you did, he’d wrap his arm around your shoulder, leaning his head against yours as he let his eyes finally shut.
- “Let's keep the decorations up until after the New Year… they’re too cute to take down right away.” He sleepily mumbles, fingers rubbing soft patterns into the skin of your shoulder.
George Luz:
- George loves the holidays, and he’s not afraid to show it.
- Every year he goes above and beyond, coming home with more decorations than the year before.
- He’s always humming some sort of song as he’s working around the house, and even loves to help you in the kitchen.
- He’s always gently tugging on your waist after a few minutes, whining and begging you to slow dance with him.
- When you finally agree, his head immediately nuzzles into your neck as he softly sings whatever song is playing (somehow he knows them all).
- After a few songs he lifts his head, pressing a light kiss to your nose as he mumbles, “I’m so lucky I get to spend another holiday with you.”
- He’ll press a chaste kiss to your lips before pulling away, stepping closer to the counter. “Teach me how to make these.”
Joe Liebgott:
- Joe tries to act like he hates when the holiday season rolls around, but deep down, he loves it.
- He’ll help you decorate, feigning a few sighs as your favorite record plays softly in the background. After some convincing, he’ll start a fire in the fireplace, your small, shared house cozy as his cat hits some of the decorations with their paw.
- “Joe, you really don’t have to help me.” You say softly, “I don’t want you to be miserable.”
- He feels his chest tighten, his cheeks flushing as he realizes how pretty you look as the soft light of the fire hits you.
- “No, no, it’s fine.” He responds, his tone gentle. “It’ll be quicker if I help, right?”
- You chuckle, knowing Joe was having a better time than he was letting on. “Right.”
- He kisses your cheek, hand lingering on your back before he mumbles “Let me help you with this..”
Don Malarkey:
- Don gets quiet during the holidays.
- December always brings back memories he’d like to forget, and he finds it hard to come back after he shuts down.
- But, you brought new life back to the month, replacing the sorrow and dread he felt with love and happiness.
- You prefer to stay in most nights, forgoing endless invitations to dinners and parties to be able to stay inside, exchanging small gifts and kisses as you listen to the radio.
- You stay wrapped inside of a blanket, pressed against his side as he runs his fingers through your hair most nights.
- He’ll quietly sing if he knows the lyrics to whatever song is playing, his deep soothing voice lulling you to sleep.
- And once he realizes you’ve fallen asleep, he’ll gently pick you up and carry you to bed, pressing a kiss to your cheek before slipping in next to you.
Chuck Grant:
- Chuck tries to be home a lot earlier than usual when December rolls around.
- Other months, he finds himself working later than he planned, always feeling guilty when he walks through the door to find you haven't eaten dinner, and were waiting for him.
- So, he makes a point to always close on time in order to be home as you start cooking, so he can talk to you and help you.
- You don’t do much for the holidays, opting to just spend it with your families when the days roll around.
- Of course, you’ll get each other gifts and drive around to see the lights, but nothing much besides that.
- Growing up, Chuck's family never did much for the holidays, so that was what he was used to.
- As you lay in bed, his hand running up and down your side, he’ll mumble “I love doing this with you..just you and me here, nothing to worry about.”
Floyd Talbert:
- You and Floyd are very seldom home or alone during the holiday season.
- You’ve both made a lot of friends, so almost every weekend you’re having dinner or at a party celebrating.
- You spend a lot of time and money on gifts for friends and family, and it seems as if you’re trying to figure out a new dish to bring to every party.
- He still tries to make the month special for you, making sure there’s a few days that you both can just stay home and relax.
- After a few years, though, Floyd gets tired of the constant get togethers, so you both decide not to attend anymore.
- You spend the nights at home, alone together, sometimes venturing into town to see a holiday movie.
- He prefers it this way, always telling you how much he loves being alone with you.
Shifty Powers:
- Shifty prefers to spend his time outside during the holidays.
- As soon as he gets home from work he’s changing into warmer clothes, wanting to get outside as quickly as possible.
- Any winter activities, you’ll end up doing.
- He loves sledding and building snowmen (even though it always ends up in a big snowball fight).
- You went ice skating once, but it ended in a lot of bruises between the both of you as neither of you could keep your balance.
- He prefers somewhere private anyway, as he likes to press kisses to your red nose to try to keep it warm.
- “You look so cold, baby..why don’t we start heading inside?” He’ll always say as the sun begins to set.
Bill Guarnere:
- December means lots of time with Bill’s family.
- It’s quite a stressful month for the both of you, trying to figure out what days to go to his family, what days to go to yours, what gifts you’re going to buy, what dish you’re going to bring, etc.
- Bill is hardly any help, he’s awful at relaying information between you and his mom and sisters.
- He tries, but always forgets by the time he means to tell you.
- He’s used to the holiday stress though, so he doesn’t let it cloud his joy.
- When he sees it start to affect yours, though, he does what he always loved to do as a child- go get candy.
- With a big smile, he takes you to the candy store he often went to as a child, getting a bag full of his favorites and new things to try, so you can both go home and enjoy.
Joe Toye:
- Joe is the only one that genuinely does not like the holiday season.
- He pretends it isn’t happening, and treats the whole month like it was just any other.
- He is clear about not wanting any gifts, and will get upset if you try to give him any.
- Of course, he’ll get you one or two, to try and show how grateful he is for everything you’ve done for him and how you’ve stuck by his side.
- But, there's no decorations, or baking, or strolls through town looking at the lights.
- After a few years, he loosens up, but still has no interest in doing anything except getting gifts and letting you make cookies.
- He’ll always apologize, though, feeling awful for taking away your fun, but hoping you’ll understand.
Babe Heffron:
- Babe’s excitement is up there with George’s, but is not quite as high.
- He loves it more than you, and will spend all month talking about how excited he is, and how much fun he’s having.
- He’s used to getting spoiled by his mother though, so he keeps bugging you to make all of these recipes his mother does until you give in.
- Babe is also constantly slipping and falling on ice, so you’re constantly cleaning and bandaging small cuts and scrapes.
- You swear he comes home with a new one everyday.
- Once you finish, he’ll always press a light kiss to your lips, a soft smile on his face as he looks down at you.
- “Thank you for taking such good care of me, baby.” He’ll softly mumble.

stellaaaaaa i would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the liebgott-talbert dynamic, i am intrigued and you are big brain so please share 💙💙
I'm only big brain because half of it is just broadway showtunes
BUT yes, I shall share.
Sooooo Tab and Lieb are the only Easy men (from the main group the show focuses on, anyway) who later brokeaway from Easy (Lieb never showed up and everybody lost contact with Tab, even Dick) when they returned to civilian life.
That has nothing to do with what I think their dynamic is I just wanted to point that out because it's been making me hurt for DAYS.
Anyway.
Tab is young. He is so so so Young. You can feel it, something about him is boyish-- even later on in the episodes, after all that they've seen, something about Tab just feels eternally young. He's also. Um. There's a Tagalog term that I like to use when talking about him-- madali siya mapikon. He gets riled up easily. And it's so funny parang gusto ko siya paiyakin. Chos. because it's so damn childish how quickly he gets riled up.
By contrast, Joe is old. Literally. He is 30 years old by the end of the war, and Tab is 22. It's never really touched on by the show (which I think is a large bummer), but he's also an older sibling. He doesn't have that energy all the time, of course, in fact there are some moments where he is so painfully young (but then again war makes us all into wailing children in the end) that it aches for me to look at him, but with Tab he does. With Tab, Joe is Old. Old in the sense that he is mature and wise in a way we rarely see in the show because the BoB writers sometimes don't know what they're doing.
He is so so gentle with Tab. I always did say I found it adorable how he's the one who saves him from Smith and then, later on, we see that he's the one sat next to him when Tab makes it back to Easy. Almost like a big brother making sure his baby brother is ok and hiding it behind teasing. I feel like Tab is the go getter, and Joe is the one who usually has to grab him by the collar like a momma cat would grab her kitten by the scruff of their neck and pull him back and away.
And Tab... he trusts Joe so much. And maybe there's a hint of hero worship there, too, I guess, but it's subtle. I mean, you can argue that the only reason why he shows Joe first the gun and the spoils of war he got is because Joe just happened to be standing next to him when he got them but like. I want to believe that the second he got this really cool thing his first thought was; "Joe! I have to show this to Joe!" because it's cool and he wants to show off to his cool big brother this cool thing.
It's such a damn bummer episodes 6 to 10 didn't take more time with the others outside of the POV characters. It's so damn rushed. They should have stuck with the original 12 ep plan instead of 10. I feel like Joe and Tab would have benefited from leaning on each other in episode 10, when Grant got shot. Or even on that damn mountain top scene.
When Joe is taking care of Tab, all his rage and anger gets tucked back under the surface and forgotten-- though in fairness, when Joe is taking care of anyone, the anger and rage gets tucked back in anyway. But especially with Tab, I think. Because Tab is the hot head who's always running headfirst into something and Joe's energy is too wrapped up in holding him back, he doesn't have enough to be destructive himself. They keep each other in check.
Ugh, I have feelings somebody take them away from me.

the epistolary fic is definitely going up this week but in the meantime I have made great progress on the Night World AU* and the kink meme has spoiled me for feedback as I go, so please enjoy this snippet of Joe not at all enjoying meeting his soulmate and Nile being decisive.
*I will include a fuller explanation with the fic but think generic urban fantasy setting where soulmates are a thing, but like, ~problematically~ 
Joe isn’t keen on another late night; he shoos Nile off and closes out himself. The rubbish bin out the back is full, with packaging and a few things they’re tossing due to damage, so he ties off the bag and takes it out into the alley, where there’s a skip they share with several other businesses. He jumps about a thousand metres in the air when someone touches his shoulder.
“It’s just me!” says Nile. “Look, I know you wanted me to go home, I just feel like neither of us should be alone here. This guy came into the shop this afternoon and...I had a really weird feeling about it.”
“What guy?”
Nile shrugs. “Italian, not short, big nose, maybe our age – I’d recognise him again.”
“And you didn’t mention this before?”
“I didn’t realise ‘till I was halfway to the station that he’d mentioned your name, and I hadn’t.”
“It is on the website, you know.”
“Just trust me on this one, okay?”
“Okay,” Joe agrees, and looks down to find out the bag has split. Little bits of polystyrene are fluttering everywhere, static sticking them to his jeans and the bin. “Ah, fuck. You want to go grab the broom, and another bag?”
“Got it,” Nile says, and goes inside. That’s when Joe looks up and sees the leopard.
At the time, probably, he doesn’t know it’s a leopard; it becomes hard to parse that out, remembering. But he sees the flick of its tail, and jumps, and waits for it to resolve into a stray dog, or – but it doesn’t. The light from the street catches its eyes. Exactly like a housecat, but way, way too big. It’s studying him, and he can tell – he can tell – that it’s thinking.
Joe starts to back towards the door, slowly. Nile, coming out with the broom, walks into him. “Joe, what are you – what the fuck?”
Joe’s heart is hammering against his ribcage so fast he thinks you can probably hear it on the main road, if there’s anybody there; it feels deafening. You hear stories of big cats in the countryside or whatever, but this is the middle of London, and it’s there, it’s undeniably there.
“What do we do?” Nile hisses. She’s holding the broom like a spear. Joe wouldn’t have expected anything less.
“I don’t know,” Joe hisses back. “I don’t think it – it’s not an animal.”
“What do you mean, it’s not an animal?”
There is a dry sort of huffing noise from the leopard, like it’s annoyed. It prowls forward, blocking their escape. Joe starts to feel angry. What the fuck have he and Nile done? Nothing, that’s what. They’d been at the wrong place at the wrong time.
“It’s a shapeshifter,” he says. “Like Andy told us about. I bet.”
“I didn’t think she was serious about that bit!”
“Well, this feels pretty serious.” Joe squares his shoulders. “Listen up, asshole. You think you’re clever, because you can turn into a big kitty-cat? You think you’re great, because you have weapons we don’t, and you’re willing to hurt people with them? Well, come on then!”
He’s yelling by the last bit. All he’s hoping, really, is that if the leopard jumps on him Nile will have time to get away.
“You heard him!” Nile yells, just as fired up, and she – she charges it, with her stupid broom. Joe goes left, because what the hell. What the hell. It’s not an animal, it’s intelligent, there’s nothing he can remember from nature documentaries that’s going to help them now.
The leopard pounces, but Nile swings right at the last second, and it careens awkwardly off her fucking stupid, amazing broom, with a thud that makes her cry out, and back off into Joe. And that’s when everything goes weird. Even weirder than it has ever since Joe’s best vendor and his valuer told him they were vampires, so that’s saying quite a lot.
When eighty-odd kilos of angry leopard hits him, Joe goes down – there’s a lot of momentum there – but he barely notices, because his brain has been taken over by this weird...floating...sensation. It’s a little like electricity, a little like being drunk (the one and only time he tried it), a little like prayer sometimes feels like, when he’s at peace with God and himself. He’s lying on his back in a cobblestoned alley, with an entire large cat lying on him. He can feel its breath on his chin, its fur brushing his skin at the opening of his shirt. Except, no, it’s shifting, it’s turning into an entire large man, there’s a strong hand on his wrist now, a knee between his legs. He should be terrified, but maybe he hit his head, because he feels like – like this is exactly where he’s meant to be and exactly who he’s meant to be there with. He’s looking up into a pair of beautiful pale eyes. The light is too bad for him to tell which color exactly, but he wants to tell, he wants to know everything about this man. He knows his name is Nicolò. He doesn’t know how he knows that, but he does.
“Yusuf,” the man says, and his voice is beautiful too, and hang on, how the hell did he – and then he makes an oof noise, letting go of Joe’s wrist, and rolls off. This turns out to be because Nile has kicked him quite firmly in the side. The beautiful floaty sensation of rightness vanishes like a soap bubble, dumping Joe into the cold bath of reality, where his head hurts and the cobblestones of the alley hurt and are damp and everything, frankly, sucks. Nile grabs his hand and pulls him upright; Joe tries to turn back and look at Nicolò, figure out what the fuck the guy just did to him – Andy did not mention mind-control powers – but Nile’s running and so is he, away from the shop, out and down the main road.
