Cryin' in the bathroom for some dude Whose name I cannot remember now (ooh) Secret jokes all alone No one's home, sixteen and wild (ooh)
            You and charles have been friends ever since you were kids, your parents were friends with his parents since they were in school, and eventually, that lead to you always being raised close with each other. You were together through everything, when his dad passed and when Jules and Anthoine died. He was always there for you too, no matter how busy his schedule was, so much, your parents started to wonder if there was something else going on between the two of you. You were fifteen and had a crush on a boy in your school, you thought he liked you too, that was until you saw him kiss another girl at some random party, of course, your fifteen-year-old self took it pretty hard, immediately leaving the scene and running towards the closest bathroom and letting the tears fall. What you didn’t know at the time was that charles had witnessed the whole scene and also ran towards the bathroom, storming in, not caring if it was the ladies room, immediately embracing you, holding you tight, brushing your hair out of your face, kissing your head and whispering into your ear, reminding you how everything was gonna be ok, and how he would always be there for you.
A few months later, you found yourself turning sixteen, charles right there by your side as you blown the candles, making secret jokes the whole time. The name of the boy who made you cry in that bathroom, long forgotten by now, the only person in your mind being the Monegasque by your side.
Your past and mine are parallel lines
Stars all aligned and they intertwined
And taught you
The way you call me, "Baby"
Treat me like a lady
            “Y/n, can you come here?” you heard him calling you from the living room, making you leave the room who were in to go to him.
“Yes, baby” you made your way to the couch, straddling charles as his hands found his way to your waist.
“God, I love when you call me baby.”
“Yeah?” you ask kissing his cheek and neck, him only humming as a response. “Why did you call me?”
“I wanted to make you a snack, what do you want to eat?”
“Really? You called me here just to see what I wanted to eat?”
“Yeah, why? Did I do something wrong?” his face expressions changing, but you quickly put your hands on both sides of his face.
“No, no, you didn’t. You just caught me by surprise, that’s all, you don’t need to make me anything.”
“No, but I want to, you deserve it.”
“Thank you, mon ange” you hug him tight, kissing his chest, his arm wrapping around your waist, keeping you close to him.
Every dead-end street
Led you straight to me
Now you're all I need
I'm so thankful for
All of the girls you loved before
But I love you more
            “I miss you” you heard on the other side of the line, making a soft smile creep its way onto your face.
“I miss you too, you know that, but you win this race, and you might get a reward when you get home.” You heard his chuckle through the phone and hear a mechanic calling him, letting you know your time with him was over. “Good luck, champ, I love you.”
“I love you too, mon ange.” Was the last thing that you heard and then he hung up.
“Y/n?” you heard from behind you, making you turn around “Y/n Y/l/n?”
“Charlotte? Hi, how are you?” you greeted the girl in front of you, silently hoping charles’ name wouldn’t come up, considering she was his ex-girlfriend.
“I’m good. How are you? I heard you and charles are dating now” ‘and she went there’ you thought.
“Hm, yeah, I’m good” you said, not knowing what else to say.
“It’s fine Y/n, really, I kind of always knew he had a thing for you, besides we just weren’t good for each other, I’m glad you’re both happy”
“Thanks, really, it was good to see you.” You said your goodbyes and headed home so you could watch charles’ race.
.
“Mon amour, I’m home” You were in the bedroom, and as soon as you heard him you sprinted down the hallway, launching yourself into his arms, making both of you loose balance, causing you to fall on the couch, charles on top of you. “Woah, are you okay?” he asked as he carefully placed a kiss on your lips.
“I’m so freaking proud of you, you did it, charles, what a fucking brilliant race” you kissed him passionately, making him moan into the kiss.
“Thank you, I think I did good.”
“You thought you did good? You did amazingly, you did perfect, I’m so proud of you I can’t put it into words. Hard work always pays off, and you’re living proof of it. I love you so so much, my love.” You said looking into his eyes.
You stayed like that for a while, looking so deep into each other’s eyes you could almost look into each other’s soul, until charles lifted you up and carried you to the bedroom, kissing you during the entire time of the walk. He dropped you on the bed and kissed you one last time before going to take a shower and put on some more comfortable clothes.
“You know who I saw today?” you asked charles, who was still getting ready in the bathroom. “Charlotte.”
“Oh yeah? Did you talk?”
“Yeah, she said she knew that we were together, and she was happy for us, because she always thought you had a thing for me.”
“Oh well, she’s right, I did always have a thing for you, ever since we were like twelve” he said in the simplest way, as if he hadn’t just admitted he liked you since you were little.
“Wait, what? You dated her when you were seventeen.”
“Yeah, but just because you were dating that douchebag.” He walked out of the bathroom, coming to sit next to you, holding onto you has you brushed his still wet curls.
“Well, I’m thankful for everyone we dated before, it lead us to here, and I couldn’t be happier to be here” you stated while his finger drew soft patterns on your skin.
“Me too, mon ange, I’m really happy that we’re here”

summary: buck tells his kids the story of him and y/n.
evan buckley x reader
a/n: ok so someone left this as a request and i accidentally posted it too early 😭 but i still wanted to do it and i hope they find it :(
buck was sitting on the couch in his and y/n's home, when he heard little footsteps roll down the stairs and sneak up behind him. he was home alone tonight for a bit while y/n was finishing up her shift, which meant he was the one to put them to bed and get them ready. usually, both of them would put them to sleep, so buck was ready for a night of complaints and the kids missing their mother.
"alright guys, it's almost time for bed!" buck turns around to face them.
"but we wanna wait for mom to come home! she's always home when we go to bed!" their oldest complains, and buck is ready for the battle with his 6 year old son.
"i know, buddy. but moms just finishing up at work. she'll be home soon."
"we want you and mama,” their youngest daughter says in small words, being younger than her brother.
"i know, but she'll be home to give you guys a kiss in bed.” he says, rubbing their sons head.
"can we wait for her, please! we don't have school tomorrow either so we can stay up later." buck contemplated whether he should send them to bed, but he was still outnumbered. he knows he should be the one to tell them to go to bed because he is their father, but there is nothing he hates more than the people he loves being sad.
"fine, but i'm not taking the blame when mom is upset you two aren't in bed!" he jokes with them, moving around so they can sit comfortably with him.
“can we have a story, dad?” his smallest asks, snuggled with her head on his stomach and small body between his legs. buck pulls them both in and begins an old story from when they were young, a classic.
cuddled into bucks side, his son says, “cmon dad! can you tell us about you and mama?”
buck smiles, thinking of how to begin such a long story. “alright, alright. well, you know me and mama weren’t always fans of each other right?”
“what?” the boy asks, moving his head up with a shocked expression. “you hated each other?”
“well…” buck and y/n have always taught their kids not to say hate, as it can be such a strong word, but there really isn’t another word for how their relationship started. “i wouldn’t say hate. it was… rocky.”
after another week of having to be rivals at their station, fighting to keep their spot at the 118. having another dinner together, when y/n walked in, buck rolled his eyes and sighed. even when they were assigned together, he couldn’t help but complain. they were both good. and they couldn’t stand that about each other. they didn’t want to waste any time getting to know each other when they could fight instead. their egos were too big.
they started to think bobby put them together on purpose, “y/l/n, buck, are we gonna have a problem? you guys cannot tolerate each other and if you can’t learn to fix that then we will have one.” they sat in his office after being called in. they didn’t really know how to response, not being able to let up their stubbornness.
“sorry, cap. but don’t look at me.” buck says.
“really, buck? this is exactly why you are exhausting to be around.” y/n says, staring at the wall instead of at him.
“guys, stop. fix this, now. get a grip, and focus on work before i consider other measures.”
“then how did you get married if you hated each other?” their little girl asks.
“well, you wanna know what mama did next?” he asks them back.
“what did she do, dad?” the boy asks.
“your mom,” he presses his finger against his chest. “saved my life.”
“y/l/n, we have no response from buckley during head count,” bobby tells her.
“what? is he still in there?” she says, pointing at the hall building that was seconds from falling. bobby nods painfully, and y/n pulls on her helmet again.
“y/n? you can’t do back in there, we got a direct evacuation order…” bobby says with heartbreak at the closest thing he still has to a son.
“sorry, but he would break an order for any of us, cap.” y/n says, running back into the burning building that could be layered on top of buck right now.
“so if she didn’t find you, what would’ve happened?” buck doesn’t want to answer that question, because she is the reason he is alive. he would be dead without her.
“i don’t know, pal. but she is the reason i have you and everything i have.”
“so you stopped hating her?”
“i realized that we never really hated each other, we were just too much alike so i couldn’t handle someone with as much passion as i did,” buck says. “which is why we tell you kids to never say you hate someone, because you never know what could happen. but me and your mom, i had no idea what to say after. i owed her everything. she helped me all the time after that, so we got a lot closer and we learned to love each other for who we are.”
back to the world outside of his hospital room, finally, the team threw buck a huge party. y/n had driven him over, still having to help him with small tasks. his hand had gripped onto hers, still being prepared for the worst after that had happened to him. when he walked in, everyone was there. karen and hen, chim and maddie, athena and her family, eddie and christopher with carla. buck felt extreme amounts of overwhelming love, before he even realized that she had put this together for him.
as the party went on, and they went their separate ways to talk to different people around them, buck had finally found her again. even thought he was fighting to get back to work, he still got tired at the end of the night.
“hey, you having fun? feeling ok? do you need me to grab anything for you or ar-“ buck cuts her words off and pulls her in. he leaves a kiss on her lips, as a way to thank her without having to figure out the words yet. he didn’t actually have to, as they came spilling out seconds later.
“i love you, y/n. i truly don’t know how to repay you for any of this. you rescued me, i cant thank you enough, y/n. i’m so sorry, i put you through hell and you could’ve left me there-“
“i would never be able to live with myself if anything happened to you, buck. i love you, too.”
“we got married a few years later, and then you,” he nudges his son. “came along. and then you did, too. you two have no clue how happy everyone was when you arrived.”
“i’m glad mama saved you, dad.” his son says, still leaning into his side with tiredness forming in his words. his daughter was already asleep, knocked out in his lap.
“me too, kid. me too,” buck reminisces on all their memories together, finding out she was pregnant and when he proposed, and even the bad moments when they fought over dumb stuff. after a while of telling their son more miscellaneous stories about him and y/n, they both eventually dozed off into a sweet sleep.
y/n got home about 15 minutes after they had fallen asleep on the couch, and a grin grew on her face as she saw her kids both slumped on the couch over her husband. she walks over, not being able to remove the smile. she runs her hand over bucks hair, and his eyes flutter awake.
“hey, how were they? i see they didn’t want to go to bed,” she says.
“oh, you know. wanted to wait for you so i told them a story.”
“wow,” she looks at her son and daughter passed out over their dad. “must’ve been a good one then.”
“oh, you wouldn’t believe it.” buck smiles back up at her as they wake up their sleeping children. after tucking them in with their goodnight kisses, they make their way to end the night together as they always dreamed, even at that station years ago.

The biggest thing I've learned to help manage my ADHD in regards to getting things done is to Follow Those Impulses
(I'm not saying this will work for or is even a good strategy for everyone, but in my own situation it's helped me.)
I'm like allergic to consistency in schedule and cannot enforce one on myself so all it leads to is self-loathing and failure. Trust me, I've been attempting to will-power, shame-fuel my way through it since I was a preteen (I'm currently almost 30.) It does not work for me.
Obviously medication can give me a huge leg up on stuff. But beyond a certain point my brain is simply not wired for long-term sustained consistency.
As in many of my issues, I've found that working with myself gets better results than fighting myself.
When I follow those sudden impulses of interest and motivation, I get things done.
To the outside, I look absolutely haphazard. I'll pause a show I'm watching mid-sentence, stand up, and go empty the dishwasher because my mood/brain/chemicals *ping*ed that it was suddenly do-able and not a huge overwhelming task. Or I'll be putting away laundry and that *ping* will go off and I'll spend three hours re-organizing my closet.
To a neurotypical, this looks like distracted and disorganized behavior.
To me, it's following the way my brain naturally works in order to accomplish tasks.
My ADHD manifests in that I experience very small and unsustainable windows of motivation and interest. So when I feel that window crack open, doing the Thing right then (when the situation enables me to) can mean the Thing actually happens. Even if it's not the thing I'm "supposed" to be doing.
With a neurotypical in that situation, they might be putting away clothes and think: "Oh, I should organize my closet. I have time this weekend, I'll do it then," finish putting away their clothes, and then organize the closet when they had free time that weekend.
I used to try to do things that way too. Because it was how I was taught that "responsible, real people" did it, and had "finish one thing before you start another" drilled into my head. But I'm literally not wired to work that way. And I've been working on undoing that internalized ableism of believing one way of doing things is better and I need to change to adhere to it. I don't and shouldn't be expected to to my own detriment.
For me with the closet example, the weekend would come and I would spend 5 hours screaming at myself to stop working on whatever did have my interest in order to go organize the closet. Sometimes I might ended up doing it. More often, I would not be able get myself to do it even after all that. I would just sit there, yelling at myself, hating myself despite my brain literally not having the chemicals to initiate the activity (let alone follow through) and nothing would get done. Not even the thing I wanted to focus on instead.
The only thing I did accomplish was hating myself for not being able to do "simple" things like other people (read: neurotypicals.)
This is basically how I spent the majority of my schooling; doing simple tasks felt like running in sand. And I internalized all the messages that told me it was my own fault I couldn't run as fast and in as straight a line as those running on pavement.
The past few years, I've been trying to follow impulses more. And its honestly been really helpful.
I get more done even if it isn't a "consistent" amount or I can't always count on having a specific thing done by a certain date.
But the big thing is that I spend less time hating myself for not doing what I "should" be and more time actually doing things when I have the motivation for them. More shit happens, I'm undoing some of that self-loathing.
tl;dr: My advice for fellow adult ADHD-ers is:
Try to learn what your natural rhythms are and, where possible, try leaning into them. Without judgement, try working with your natural tendencies rather than battling them at every moment. See how it feels, see what you accomplish (and not just in the capitalistic "productivity" way--spending 3 hours hyperfocusing on researching the history of wheat germ counts!) See how your brain and body feel.
Your brain is wired different, let yourself operate different.

Oh my god, staff.....
This auraboa issue with the lore being (most likely) unintentionally racist is especially maddening to me, because the concept they seem to want to portray (based purely on the encyclopedia entry) is very similar to an OC I have, and so I can say with experience, it's incredibly difficult to convey! ESPECIALLY when you try to portray it inside a short story where you're cutting lines for word count (their forum reply mentioned they left out some lines to keep it short)
Instead of getting across the concept the encyclopedia entry seems to allude to, the short story just accidentally walks into like 10 racism rakes in a row and its truly agonizing for me to watch, knowing what i assume the actual lore's intent is.
encyclopedia quote: "Older generations of Auraboa existed in a constant state of communion with their fellows. They refer to this connection as The Loop. In this persistent state they perceive time and memory in a non-linear manner; their intertwined considerations for past and present events are such that it became difficult for a dragon outside The Loop to grasp the intentions of these ancient wyrms."
what seems to be the intention is that the auraboa are a hivemind that doesn't experience time the same way other dragons do- they experience past, present, and future all at once and thus cannot communicate well NOT because they have a different language, but because they aren't experiencing TIME ITSELF in the same fashion as the dragons! However, in practice, in the story, the auraboa seem to speak with words in the proper order, just haltingly, since otherwise the story itself couldn't work at all.
another encyclopedia bit: "The newest generation of Auraboa is not linked to The Loop in their waking hours. While they move through the world, they are less directly accessible and read as "silent" to Auraboa who are within the communal state. This disconnection has allowed the young Auraboa to experience time in a linear fashion, and with this new understanding they have begun to form connections with other species of dragon that have never before been possible."
The encyclopedia seems more clear about the Linear Time thing, and that being why they can actually communicate sensibly, but in the act of having a story where the older ones DO communicate with the outside dragons and get a point across, they've kind of not shown the reason why dragons and auraboa COULDNT communicate before! which is! a big thing!
If they'd implemented the auraboa speaking with everything in the wrong order instead of halting single words at a time, i feel like the intention would get across better. As it is, it just smacks them directly into the 'simple native' stereotype with a truly awful tripping into the 'having our kids be taught by outsiders' which is. a really wretched parallel, as many native people have spoken of the unimaginable violence of residential schools.
I feel like the encyclopedia entry Alone isn't nearly as awful (still not great, but not as bad) as the extremely poorly implemented story that managed to ddr dance onto a bunch of horrible tropes.
they were literally so bad at conveying the fact that the auraboa are a hivemind that is unmoored from time, that i see people misinterpreting the lore as auraboa having their own weird language that other dragons can't understand! there was not enough effort put into conveying the ideas they tried to convey, and what WAS put forward was literally chock full of the most unfortunate parallels physically possible.

Love your yandere academy AU!! I have a few Thoughts on it if you don't mind...
First of all the inherent loneliness and otherness you'd feel as the only darling at school? Mwah 🤌 The constant fear of being found out? Delicious. In a way it almost reminds me of Furina in 4.2, having to put on a never-ending show, never letting anyone see your true colors. Her stakes might have been a little higher, sure, but the general vibe is the same.
Next I could imagine darling using the classes as a way to get a leg up on their classmates. They know everything the yanderes do, which helps to even out the playing field, even if just a little. It's easier to avoid being manipulated when you're taking the same psychology classes as the people trying to manipulate you.
Finally I've been thinking about how the yanderes would feel when falling for diet before their identity is discovered. Yanderes falling for other yanderes is rare, and when not reciprocated, it rarely ends well. Especially if darling is a straight A student, they'll know they have to work twice as hard to get them in their grasp, either willingly or not. And with so many people starting to take an interest in them? Even more work. Normally it'd be fine to deal with one or two rivals, but multiple classes of them? Not so simple.
Idk it's just a really neat idea and I'd love to see more of it sometime
Tumblr media
First of all, thank you for sending in an ask! I´m very happy that feedback has been pretty positive so far because I was actually a bit hesitant on posting my idea at first. So this is really uplifting! ☺️
And yes, absolutely do share your thoughts with me if you have any, I love discussing ideas with other people, it´s one of the greatest things regarding fanfiction in my opinion 💕
So let´s discuss all of these concepts you brought up for a bit!
Introduction
1k words
gn reader
tw yandere, discussion of normalized toxic relationships, implied stalking, mention of murder
Tumblr media
Yandere! Normalized Genshin Academy AU
Tumblr media
First of all, yes, you´re totally right! I´m really happy that the inherent feeling of loneliness came through in my writing because it´s one of the first thoughts I had when envisioning this AU. Just imagine how truly alone you must feel, living in a world where all these toxic relationships are viewed as normal and even desirable. All your life, you´ve been terrified of the future, of when the day a yandere desires you would come. You´ve been having nightmares about the day you would feel eyes cling to you way too long for comfort.
And now, you find yourself in this gigantic mess. Not only will you have to stress over your new academy life, but also the people you have to cross paths with in the hallway every day. You have to keep your guard up and play along with the insanity going on around you all day long, you can´t rest or relax for even a second. Because one second might be enough to expose you as who you really are: a helpless darling within a sea of predators just waiting to sink their claws into you.
No matter what, while you´re here you can´t be your true self, you can´t speak your true thoughts because you would be putting yourself in danger. You try your best to stay away from your fellow students but isolating yourself like that feels just as lonely.
And sometimes, you catch yourself almost slipping up when you inevitably have to talk to another student. People like Thoma, Amber, or Kaveh have easy-going and friendly demeanors, they talk to you so eagerly that you can´t help but feel yourself let loose for a bit, only to realize with a start that even these people who seem nice and approachable have to hide dark feelings and thoughts if they´re going to this school. Maybe in another life, you might have loved to have them as close friends but you know how twisted they must be deep down. You cannot allow yourself to trust anyone here and it´s so mentally taxing.
Oh, absolutely! Darling might be terrified by what they´re being taught as if it was the most normal thing in the world but they´re certainly glad to know some of the tricks a yandere might use. They obviously don´t plan on ever using those tips themselves but it´s useful when it comes to keeping their guard up. Thanks to these classes, they know better than to readily accept gifts from any of their "friends" without thoroughly checking them for cameras beforehand.
It´s both a blessing and a curse, really. Darling has a harder time keeping up the facade when confronted with all these new wicked ways to ensnare a darling during classes but they also serve well as a safety precaution. Can´t be tricked if you know all the tricks yourself, right? Though their anxiety would probably skyrocket, questioning every little gesture, gift, or phrase directed at them.
And your last point is also a very interesting point that I would like to elaborate on a bit more! I indeed also think that yanderes dating yanderes would be a very rare thing and I´d even go so far as to say it might be discouraged by society at large. And it´s not for the logical reason one might think of. The fact that two yanderes together would probably cause a spike in murders or similar catastrophes is not the real problem here.
It´s the fact that two yanderes dating each other means that two poor darlings will now have to go without a yandere </3
Even though yanderes are very normalized, I would still say that they´re probably still a minority ( at least I sure hope for the good of the world that half the population isn´t some sort of crazed lovesick fool). This of course comes with the conseqence that there are many more darlings than there are yanderes. Factor in the fact that a darling x yandere relationship is seen as the ideal relationship, something to strive for, and very soon you will see why yanderes dating other yanderes is kind of frowned upon.
Now even fewer darlings will get to have a loving yandere partner!
To you, it´s sick and twisted that this is the consensus, that yanderes and all the horrible things that they do are so romanticized. But at the same time, you´re really glad for this being a thing now because it greatly reduces the risk of one of your fellow students pursuing you for as long as you can still pose as a yandere.
But just because it´s frowned upon doesn´t mean that it´s illegal or that it never happens. There isn´t really any reasoning with a yandere in love so when they have their sights set on someone, there´s pretty much no stopping them. And who would want to be the one to tell them that they shouldn´t be in love with another yandere? That they should give up on you? That wouldn´t go very well.
So sadly enough, once your fellow students grow really interested in you, even you being perceived as another yandere would be enough to deter them. Of course, they´ll have to be more careful when approaching this than if you were a darling. As mentioned, you know all about the different ways to "win someone´s heart" and so they´ll have to adapt their approaches in some way.
Of course, having multiple rivals for your love isn´t making things any easier. Trying to get close to you when you know all their tricks is hard enough, they don´t need any distractions trying to steal your affection. It will certainly turn into a very fierce competition soon and it only gets worse the more people grow infatuated with you.
Your only hope is that they´ll just spend all of their time trying to get rid of the others so that they leave you alone. You´ll certainly have to be very careful about how you interact with your classmates from now on. One compliment and they´ll latch onto the possibility of you secretly loving them as well and then they´ll certainly never let go of you.

Because you cannot pry British Juwon from my hands here are some Juwon headcanons based on his time in England and a bit about how it affects his life in Korea. Featuring Kwon Hyeok obviously.
Language Headcanons:
He is bilingual and is fully fluent in both English and Korean.
He learnt French in school but has forgotten most of it.
It actually got to a point where he would forget words in Korean and ask Hyeok what they were. So he would write down words he forgot and memorise them.
He still sometimes, tho very very rarely, forgets words. He has a note in his phone of them.
He spoke Korean with Hyeok but whenever either of them went out, they spoke English.
Hyeok was fluent but has not maintained the same level as Juwon since moving back to Korea.
Juwon mumbles in English to himself when thinking hard and believing he’s alone. However, people have caught him do this from time to time.
His English voice is a tiny bit deeper than his Korean one but not many people notice it (DS does tho 👀).
He speaks English pretty articulately, and has more of a southern accent.
He says scone like phone and not like gone.
Dongsik adores when Juwon speaks English and has actually picked up a couple words himself.
Unconsciously swears in English… including in rated E moments.
When he’s stressed/upset and gets the opportunity to just explode (obviously after he’s bottled it) he talks in a mush of both languages.
Other Headcanons:
Juwon went to a private school in England and Hyeok taught him extra at home.
He did not have a lot of friends but had one or two that he liked tolerated.
Definitely got picked on by other kids for being quiet or weird. That was until he full on punched a kid and got in deep shit for it, but nobody picked on him again so Juwon called it a win.
He though british/western food was mostly bland but there was a certain elegance and comfort in its simplicity.
Did not go out often, and flat out refused to go to clubs.
He did apply for UK universities and did a year or two before going to the Korean Police Uni.
Did get into a good uni, like Russell group uni (maybe Oxford?), and yet didn’t get accommodation and simply got his own place instead (his hate of sharing things and richness coming into play). He also learnt to cook there.
His father never visited but did send money to the two of them, though Hyeok also got a job out there.
He does not have the best spice tolerance due to western food being… not that spicy.
He has an English name, but doesn’t like to use it unless he has to. He much prefers Juwon.
Has been asked out by a variety of people but turned everyone down as politely as possible (unless they were pushy then he got annoyed and was very bitchy about it). He has never been interested in anyone.
Has read every single sherlock holmes book in English and still has copies in his Seoul apartment.
The only jobs he had in England were from mandatory work experience. 
Despite not really being social, he did get to know a book store worker when he went to purchase something out of the classics section.
Yes he read classics and older literature, you’re gonna tell me he didn’t? But his guilty pleasure was fantasy books. He definitely read mostly in English (more accessible) but did pick up the odd Korean book too.
His notes for cases in korea are a mash of Korean and English, mostly just writing in whatever language flows out first. There’s not a lot of time to get them down and nobody else is gonna see them so he doesn’t care about it.
Feel free to drop your own thoughts and opinions and reminder that these are MY HEADCANONS and may not fully align with yours :)

 Opinion
By MICHAEL KAYE   Published: FEBRUARY 28, 2024 03:04 THE WRITER speaks at a marketing conference in New York City wearing a #EndJewHatred T-shirt.(photo credit: COURTESY MICHAEL KAYE)
It’s been almost five months since October 7, a day that completely changed the lives of more than 15 million Jews around the world. But the aftermath of the attack is still present, months later. In many ways, it feels as though this nightmare just happened, while at other moments, it’s hard to remember what life was like before that day of terror.
I am not fluent in Hebrew. I do not wear a kippah. I have almost 30 tattoos. I am not your stereotypical Jew, but I have become a proud Jewish activist. But October 7 changed me, as it did many others. Who I was before is someone I can never be again. I cannot be complicit or silent. I donate to the Anti-Defamation League; I speak at conferences wearing an #EndJewHatred T-shirt; I never leave home without Jewish-themed jewelry; and I use my social media platforms to discuss the rising antisemitism on college campuses across the United States and around the world.
As someone who was educated at a Jewish school and learned about the Holocaust, I am no stranger to antisemitism or the dangerous impact it can have. My earliest memories include being taught by my parents to be proud but quiet about my Judaism, having swastikas carved on my school playground, being immediately evacuated on September 11, and always leaving my Star of David at home when traveling. 
During my childhood and teenage years, I heard from and met many Holocaust survivors, including Elie Wiesel. I listened to their stories about how the world remained silent.
Today, it feels like the beginning of a second Holocaust. That is why I cannot remain silent.
Tumblr media
A scary time to be Jewish
For this Jewish New Yorker, it’s a scary time to be Jewish. The American Jewish Committee’s State of Antisemitism in America report found that 93% of American Jews surveyed think antisemitism is a problem in the United States and 86% believe antisemitism in the country has increased over the past five years. 
In November, I attended the March for Israel in Washington. Around me were Jewish people from Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Richmond, San Diego, and Queens. A man from Brooklyn put tefillin (phylacteries) on me; it was the first time I had worn tefillin in almost 20 years. I even got to meet Julia Haart and Miriam Haart from Netflix’s My Unorthodox Life, who grew up in a religious community not too far from me. While there, I realized this gathering had the most Jews I’ve been around since I was in Israel in 2006. It was the safest I had felt in years. But there were also allies, including Congressman Ritchie Torres and CNN contributor Van Jones. That day reminded me of why I am proud to be Jewish and why I cannot be silent about my Judaism any longer.
Since October 7, I have lost hundreds of followers on social media. I have received anti-Israel and anti-Jewish messages, even threats. But I am not alone. The AJC found that six in 10 people have come across antisemitic content online, and 78% of American Jews feel less safe as Jews in the United States since that horrific day.
To many of us, the current climate feels different. We’re feeling angry, confused, and isolated. In my lifetime, I have watched the nation unite after domestic and foreign terrorist attacks, social justice actions, and wars. Rarely, outside of politics, have I seen us this divided: the Jewish community against everyone else. Overnight, people who had never spoken about any Middle Eastern wars became experts on the conflict. Disinformation spread like wildfire across social media, and much of it felt aimed at damaging or discrediting Jews and Zionists. Almost immediately after October 7, it was not only taboo to express sympathy for the Israelis who were captured or murdered; it was discouraged and forbidden, often met with attacks, both physical and verbal.
BUT THROUGH these painful months, there have also been glimmers of light.
During this period of mourning, I have watched people of all backgrounds come together – to educate, to grieve, to hope, and to pray. A Christian connection on social media thanked me for sharing educational resources. Jewish friends from elementary school and high school reached out. A Muslim friend held my hand as I cried, and another has been checking on me periodically for months. These are the moments I have chosen to cling to.
Our future is not where one side loses and another wins. It’s where we all unite.
The writer is an award-winning communications strategist, data storyteller, purpose-driven marketer, and educator based in New York City. He often speaks about antisemitism, LGBTQ+ rights, and social justice issues.

that question about drowzee & hypno and their supposed penchant for kidnapping reminded me of another pokemon with a bad rap- drifloon, and all the misconceptions surrounding it.
you're almost certainly familiar with drifloon's supposed habit of whisking children away- you might even be able to point to a few news stories outlining those exact sort of events. many people say that drifloon like to drag kids away to the afterlife, or to eat their soul or whatever.
and honestly- there is some truth to these stories. there are a fair amount of concrete, well-founded accounts of drifloon leading kids away from parks or out of backyards or playgrounds, who are later found deceased or badly injured, or rarely never found at all.
but that's where the truth of it ends. for one, drifloon aren't really able to drag anyone away by force like some believe. drifloon are extremely passive in terms of locomotion, unable to put much force behind their movements and being blown away by stiff breezes, they wouldn't be able to generate the force needed to lift more than, like, a newborn baby, let alone a school-aged child.
secondly, drifloon really have no reason to be leading people away. it isn't a predatory behavior, drifloon aren't active predators for anything more than tiny flying (mostly non-pokemon) insects. they're very energy efficient, passive feeders, going wherever the wind blows and grabbing small insects that wander (or are blown) too close with their tendrils. additionally, there's no evidence they feed on psychic/spiritual energy like some ghost pokemon (ie litwick), so there's zero reason for them to take anyone away in the first place.
so then, how do we explain the deaths and disappearances related to drifloon? its worth noting that such events are very uncommon, despite the fact that drifloon are found in almost every corner of the globe (and have been going down since these stories have become more widely-told). what's far more common are cases of kids being missing for only a few minutes to a couple hours, being found, unharmed, playing with drifloon nearby from where they disappeared from.
what's happening here is that drifloon, like many smaller pokemon, are playful, and view humans (especially kids more their size) as potential friends. so, they'll wander into parks or playgrounds where kids are playing. but drifloon aren't people, and they don't really understand things like "kids need to stay in the playground and not wander off" or "forests, rough terrain, and cliffy areas can be dangerous for people, who cannot float". an unsupervised child might wander off with their newfound friend (as many kids are prone to doing) and inadvertently into danger, whether that means aggressive wild pokemon, or falls off of ledges. to lend credence to this, there was a case a few years ago of a child who disappeared from a park in paldea following a drifloon, and was found injured soon after- because the drifloon that had befriended them had gone to find help, and led rescuers to the child's location.
the overall point is that these pokemon aren't malicious or evil, and they don't mean to bring anyone harm. it's okay for kids to play with drifloon, they can even make good companions with easy care needs, but keep a close eye on your kids, and make sure they know to be aware of their surroundings for potential danger and not to leave the backyard, park, or playground where they're supposed to be. there are also plenty of guardian pokemon which can be taught these boundaries and prevent kids from walking into danger.

Under Rageous
Pictures found on Pinterest for concept on the under city and woods that surround it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Read here for Under Rageous Backstory
Under Rageous is the city below the cloud line of Mount Rageous, they are known as the working districts.
Rageouns that live in Under Rageous differ in look than that of the Rageouns in the upper atmosphere. It began with the isolation of those “defected”. Unfortunately, as time went by, those in Under Rageous are in arms way when it comes to the toxic waste released by Mount Rageous…and of their own doing. It has cause mutations to the people of Under Rageous as generations go by. Read here Under Rageouns.
Mount Rageous is already deprived of natural light as it’s hidden in the clouds. The under city hardly has any light as the upper atmosphere blocks out or absorbs what ever little light can come through. Most of the under city is dependent on artificial light, giving it a cybernetic feel.
Like the upper atmosphere, they are heavily reliant on technology. Though they are not equipped with the newest or most updated (it all gets sent to Mount Rageous) they make do with what they got.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Being the working district’s, everything is manufactured in the under city. It is the source of Mount Rageous’ most valuable resources of jewels and elements. The under city doesn’t see a dime of these resources, yet its inhabitants work day and night. They are able to scrap what leftovers they can get, but it’s hardly enough. Instead of school, work is taught as a trait at a young age. Many children are off on their own by 17 since their families can hardly afford to be keeping them in the house. Many at the age (rather any age) seek extra work in what is called The Pit. Bounties are placed here in which dangerous jobs pay handsomely. These jobs can come from within Under Rageous or sent by someone desperate from the upper city. Many of these jobs take the people out to the dangerous Rageous Woods to collect resources.
A black market runs in the under city that illegally collect valuable items to see in amount Rageous. One of these valuable resources is Troll. Under Rageous are know to absorb their essence, a trait that some of the upper atmosphere want. Those in the under city sell Trolls at a handsomely large price… it’s the one resource the upper city cannot get full control of.
Read here Under Rageous Trolls
The law here is as shifting and uncertain as its people. Many follow the “defend your own motto” causing its people to form some sort of factions to protect themselves from one another. Most of the time these factions can coexist peacefully, distributing and dividing work that is essential and fitting, but there are times where the heads of the factions bicker, causing turf wars here and there.
Sounds of Under Rageous
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rageous Woods
The Rageous Woods are a perfect example of abused nature. The woodlands surrounding Rageous have been deprived of natural resources as those in Under Rageous salvage and salvage. Meanwhile, the upper atmosphere tends to dispose of its toxic waste unruly, causing a sort of mutation in the woods and its creatures.
As time went by, the Rageous Woods has been deemed as one of the most dangerous in the lands. Its creatures there are nothing like anyone has seen, nothing compared to the colorful creatures that surrounded the Troll world, or the gloomy creatures of the Bergen world. The creatures are vicious. It’s unknowing if it is in their nature or something mutated in them by the toxic waste.
It has been deprived of its beauty. As generations went by, Rageouns have lost the sight of what nature is, being born and raised in an artificial world. It has become a topic of myth.
The Rageous woods is where Floyd had first ended up when he ventured out alone. He eventually made it to the gates of Under Rageous where he would then be found by Velvet and Veneer.

Malleus Draconia: Masquerade (Chapter 3)
Tumblr media
Link to Part 1, Link to Part 2
Noble Bell College - Lecture Hall
Magic School Student: A-- Ma, ma, ma-- Malleus Draconia..! Uhm... T-that gift from earlier... It was... It was splendid..! That's all! T-then... Pleases excuse me!
Noble Bell College Student: To have showcased Mr. Draconia's song like this... Our school is proud to have been the host for this exchange program!
*flies away*
Noble Bell College Student: I think President Rollo must have also been delighted. Thank you so much for your lovely singing voice!
*walks away*
Malleus: Though this is a masquerade, you should at least state your name when in a conversation... Heh, they're hopeless.
Tumblr media
Malleus: ... Well, it looks like it made for a nice gift.
Malleus: It must be why people are not keeping away from me like they usually do.
Malleus: This is thanks to Ashengrotto and Shroud's cooperation. I must express my gratitude to both of them.
Malleus: And... to him who provided this venue for us, Flamme.
Riddle: Malleus. Are you taking a break from dancing?
Malleus: Rosehearts and Spade.
Malleus: I've already danced with those I wanted to dance with just a moment ago. I was just taking a break.
Malleus: Are you two resting as well?
Riddle: We were looking for you. I'd thought to chat with you, but you suddenly disappeared.
Deuce: We've already told this to sir Ashengrotto but... sir Draconia! That performance was the best!
Riddle: Indeed. To sing with such confidence! I, too, wish to learn from you. May I ask you for some pointers on how to sing so skillfully?
Malleus: This isn't a pointer, per se...
Malleus: But this song resonated with me ever since the first time I heard it. Perhaps it's because of that.
Riddle: That song... "Make a Wish". Is there anything special about it?
Malleus: Yes. This song was taught by Lilia, and him singing it was the first time I head of it but...
Malleus: The more I hear of it, the more I could never forget it. I felt a deep connection with the lyrics.
Deuce: If I'm not mistaken, "Make a Wish" was the plea of a bell-ringer who wished to meet many other people. It's a song of dreams and wishes.
Deuce: That said... Did you sing while thinking of how much you're looking forward to meeting the other exchange students?
Malleus: Of course, and also...
Malleus: I think there's more to this song than simply 'looking forward to'.
Malleus: The bell-ringer hoped for a brighter world, yet also feared it at the same time.
Riddle: Fear? Even though the lyrics are full of hope?
Malleus: That's correct. It takes great courage to step into the unknown.
Malleus: I feel the same way.
Deuce: Eh?! The confident sir Draconia, needing courage?!
Tumblr media
Malleus: It shouldn't be all that surprising. I AM just a student, just like you.
Malleus: Even enrolling in Night Raven College naturally took some courage.
Malleus: For having lived alone in a castle for so long, being in a crowded place is something I had no experience in.
Tumblr media
Riddle: I see.
Riddle: In that case, I somewhat understand how you feel.
Riddle: Feeling as much fear and anticipation in the unknown...
Riddle: Even so, the bell-ringer musters his courage and steps into the circle of people.
Malleus: Indeed. And he not only encountered the righteous judge who became his teacher, he was able to meet with many other precious people as well.
Malleus: A man who's not only kind, but also full of bravery; I cannot help but respect him.
Malleus: And so singing "Make a Wish" for everyone as gratitude for this exchange program... truly made me happy.
Tumblr media
Deuce: Amazing... I never thought there would be so much meaning behind those lyrics.
Riddle: Me too. I have the lyrics memorized, but I never really thought of them as anything more than sentences... I didn't consider the story and emotions behind it at all.
Riddle: Malleus. Your considerate thoughts led to such a wonderful performance.
Malleus: Your backup vocals were also good. The success of our song was due to everyone's efforts.
YOU: Hornton, good work today!
Riddle: If it isn't (name). Don't tell me you also wanted to tell Malleus about your impressions on the song?
Riddle: We were just discussing that too.
Deuce: I also want to know what (name) thinks!
Deuce: What did you think of sir Draconia's performance?
You: It was incredibly moving.
Malleus: Moving? Is that so... Even when I'm confident of myself, having that said directly towards me is such a nice feeling.
Malleus: If my feelings were conveyed to even you, then I couldn't ask for anything more.
Malleus: I had been bracing myself to not see this performance through when the crimson flowers appeared... I'm just glad that everyone got to participate in this masquerade safe and sound.
Malleus: Oh, (name). [HE SAID IT WITH FEELINGS, like the type when you say "oh darling..."]
Malleus: Won't you let me have this dance?
YOU: *NODS* [THE SCREEN BOBBED UP AND DOWN]
Riddle: That's good. This is an exchange program, so I think it's important to dance with people from other schools, but...
Riddle: This is a good opportunity. So to commemorate, shall we dance, Deuce?
Deuce: It'll be my honor! Well then (name), dance with me next time.
Malleus: Ah, the masquerade has yet begun.
Malleus: Enjoy yourself to the fullest. Meet with lots of people, touch each other... What a beautiful night.
Tumblr media
Note: "touch each other" is just a metaphor for mingling with people.

SSR Malleus Draconia Dorm Uniform Personal Story: Part 2
"Briar Valley's own."
(Part 1) Part 2 (Part 3)
Tumblr media
[Diasomnia Dorm – Lounge]
Lilia: …Which is why it is an issue that you weren't at the Dorm Leader meeting.
Malleus: I hadn't realized such a thing was happening while I was absent. I've caused you such an inconvenience, Lilia.
Lilia: I'm not really inconvenienced. However, the others were saying things that could affect your reputation.
Lilia: So I promised you'd come "next time," without thinking.
Malleus: I see… I myself have been wanting to attend these meetings.
Malleus: For this meeting in particular, the notice was sent out quite a while ago, so it was not as if I had forgotten it.
Malleus: However, that notification came as a mechanical message. That strange board would not allow me to view it.
Lilia: Mechanical message… Strange board… Ah, you mean your email and smartphone?
Malleus: That's right. I could not read it, so I did not know the time and place of the meeting.
Malleus: I attempted to estimate the time and place, and so I ended up waiting in the Lecture Hall…
Malleus: No one came after two hours of sitting alone, so I headed towards the library and waited for an hour, before finally making my way to the Headmaster's Office.
Lilia: Malleus… Most humans won't just sit and wait in one place for one or two hours like that.
Malleus: Is that so? Humans sure are restless…
Malleus: It also isn't ideal that they move the location of the meeting as often as they do. It would be best if it were always in the Mirror Chamber.
Lilia: The Mirror Chamber is often used by those visiting the school. It would not be unusual for the meeting location to be changed on short notice.
Lilia: However, if you did not know the location, you ought to have asked. There must have been someone who would have known.
Malleus: Well, of course I attempted to ask.
Malleus: However, they would immediately scream and scamper off. I had even tried smiling as I called out to them, as you taught me…
Lilia: I wonder what could have possibly gone wrong there? I feel you have a very cute smile, especially when you can catch a glimpse of your pointed fangs… Hm.
Lilia: Then, I suppose we should make sure that you carry your smartphone with you as a means of communication.
Malleus: The smartphone, hm. If we're talking of that thig, it has not made a peep since this morning.
Lilia: I thought so. But we had it repaired just the other day! What could have caused it to stop working?
Malleus: I do not know. I did not do anything, and yet it broke.
Lilia: Malleus… When someone says, "I didn't do anything, but the device broke," that usually means they did something.
Malleus: You say that, but I cannot fathom what may have happened. I believe the last thing I did was…
Malleus: I cast a cleaning spell on it because it had become rather dirty.
Lilia: WELL, THAT'S WHY!!
Lilia: Most devices are weak to water. Hypothetically, even if it were waterproof, it would definitely not be able to withstand the might of your magic.
Malleus: That may be so. There was indeed a crack in the screen.
Lilia: So something had happened to it! And you thought to say you didn't know anything about it being broken.
Malleus: Your phone also has a cracked screen. I thought it a normal occurrence.
Lilia: That's just because I'm a bit rough with it!
Malleus: I cannot imagine that is anything to be boastful about… But alright, I understand. I will refrain from cleaning it from now on.
Malleus: Nevertheless, these devices certainly are inconvenient.
Malleus: It recently returned from servicing, and yet it seems I shall have to completely replace it now.
Lilia: Come to think of it, how did it break last time?
Malleus: I went flying through the sky with the smartphone in my pocket.
Malleus: In the process of moving back and forth from a high altitude to the ground several times, I eventually found the inside of my screen had become wet.
Malleus: According to the repair shop's findings, the rapid temperature change caused condensation, which in turn caused it to break.
Lilia: How high were you flying for the temperature to drop so low as to cause condensation?
Malleus: Prior to that, I was told it short-circuited when I touched it while I was still imbued with lightning...
Malleus: And even before that, it melted when it was exposed to the high temperatures of my fire breath.
Lilia: Hmm. Then, why not leave your phone behind when doing those things?
Lilia: You do that with the little drago-kun I gave you a while back.
Malleus: What do you mean? There is no purpose to a smartphone if it is not carried with you at all times.
Lilia: I know that, but…
Malleus: It's susceptible to water, low temperature, lightning, and fire. These phones are quite frail.
Malleus: Do humans truly value such a useless object? It is past simply being intolerable… I am starting to find it a nuisance.
Lilia: Wait, wait, it's still too early for you to give up. You've come all this way upon leaving Briar Valley, so you must familiarize yourself to human customs.
Lilia: I'll teach you how to use the device again once more from the beginning to make it easier from now on.
Lilia: Here, you can borrow my phone, try to hold it properly. Don't summon any lighting, now.
Malleus: I understand… Hm?
Malleus: Some text has appeared on your screen. It says, "New Message."
Lilia: Ah, a notif. Someone must've uploaded a new post onto Magicam.
Lilia: Looks like it's from Kalim. Let me see…
Lilia: "PARTY TIME WITH ALL THE DORM LEADERS!"
Malleus: …Is this a photo from the meeting earlier? Everyone looks terribly happy in this picture.
Lilia: Kalim must've taken it after the meeting. There's a few frowns, but it's quite a wonderful picture of all the Dorm Leaders together!
Malleus: …
Lilia: Well… I mean…
Lilia: All the Dorm Leaders except for you, who didn't attend…
Malleus: …
[CRACKLE, CRACKLE, CRUSH!]
Malleus: Oh. I accidentally destroyed it.
Lilia: MY PHONEEEEE!
Lilia: How could you, my screen is shattered… Oh, no, it was always like that.
Lilia: What do you think you're doing, Malleus!?
Malleus: Apologies. Seeing those people enjoy themselves while excluding me…
Malleus: I just couldn't control my ire in that moment.
Lilia: If you just destroy the phone whenever you get mad, there's no meaning in me trying to teach you how to use it!
Malleus: Calm down, Lilia. Don't get angry.
Lilia: You don't get to say that, as the person who broke my phone in anger!
Lilia: Sigh… Malleus. Are you truly wanting to participate in the Dorm Leader meetings, or their little get-togethers?
Malleus: …Are you now doubting my true feelings about this? You, of all people?
Malleus: Humans are quick to fear creatures of the night. They are often unable to talk to us out of fright.
Malleus: The ones who taught me that was you, Lilia, and Grandmother. And it is the truth.
Malleus: It is not my fault that I am unable to show my face at those gatherings. It is because those humans have decided to fear me.
Lilia: No, in your case, that is not the only issue at hand. You fail to understand what is going on around you!
Lilia: Faes and humans are different both in their sense of time, and in the tools they utilize. I fully understand how you may have troubles when you first come in contact with them. However…
Lilia: it has been 3 years since you left Briar Valley, you know? And you haven't changed at all in that time!
Lilia: It isn't anyone else's fault. You have to first look inwards. Have you actually put forth the effort to attend these meetings?
Malleus: Put forth the effort…?
Lilia: We've said that, because of your position, it is an unavoidable fact that you cannot join gatherings of people. However, there is still a limit to how shielded you can be.
Lilia: As the heir to Briar Valley, and as the leader of Diasomnia,
Lilia: You need to carefully reflect on how you should conduct yourself.
Malleus: …He got angry and left.
Malleus: It has been quite a long time since Lilia has scolded me like this. It seems it was not smart to crush his phone.
Malleus: …
Malleus: Indeed… It is possible that somewhere in the back of my mind, I may have thought that faes and humans are incapable of comprehending each other.
Malleus: Perhaps that may be the reason why I refrained from making an effort to meet them halfway. But if a change in my conduct can change this atmosphere…
Malleus: What can I possibly do in order to become closer with the other Dorm Leaders…?
Malleus: I shall have to think on it.

౨ৎ txt as musicals !
pairing: ot5 txt x musicals summary: god. idek where to begin. txt as musicals. word count : 0.6k im actually so sorry i even wrote this wow what was i thinking. if you dont know these songs LISTEN TO THEM.
Tumblr media
yeonjun : heathers / mean girls there is also a tiny dash of moulin rouge in him
it boy energy is so reflected throughout BOTH
i’m sorry
definitely a candy store guy
he 100% cracks corny jokes like in stupid w/ love
but the amazing theatricality???
the vocals????
SO yeonjun
and ikik abt the soobin meangirl meme but like
lets be real
jjunie just has that energy
and not in a bad way
like in a 'yeonjun told me to dye my hair purple so i did!' way
and when i say heathers i don't mean the negatives
like that musical is fucked up
i mean the level of iconic-ness (?)
sassy man apocalypse fr
"i like looking hot buying stuff they cannot :3" - yeonjun (definitely)
soobin : six
...
i'm actually so sorry for this one!
he competes with himself, that much is obvious
soobin seems like the type to really question if he deserves something - if his suffering was enough
he's the type to compare past suffering to current
like 'well i suffered back then and i turned out fine, i'm not any more important for suffering now' type of stuff
he's the leader, its his job to be the strongest
and he lets himself have some fun
(i mean his first [?] scandal was him showing his middle toe.)
or he could be super serious like the great leader we all know he is
or he's just a total mess, but yet still so strong ??
hes admirable
he's in the history books fr
beomgyu : hamilton
the perfect balance of chaos and serious
i mean he's literally "lock up your daughters and horses!"
while also being "mom i'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me"
beomgyu was written by lin manuel miranda argue with a wall
its also just so interesting, like gyu
like you could study both hamilton and gyu
a fan favourite
you can't go wrong with hamilton
and you can't go wrong with guy
hamilton has its… fans
and gyu has his bamtoris
both would doxx you if you speak ill of their favs
the gateway into the community
like gyu was the first member i found out about
and hamilton was the first musical i liked
you dip your toes in, and next thing you know you just spent $25 for some merch
taehyun : hadestown
it’s so sad
yet serene and passionate like tyun
i mean, just look at him
those eyes - that smile!!
boba eyes :3
also, he so was a greek mythology kid
probably bought every percy jackson book / related piece of media when it came out
he knows everything
theres just something so tyun about it all
hadestown is a musical you might not know about
but the second you do you're like "wow wtf i was missing out on literally everything good in this world"
and that's literally tyun too
like if you somehow don't know about vocal king taehyun
the moment you find him obsession forms
or at least in my case
my little tyun🤧
i could see him staring in the mirror going "who are you? who do you think you are"
hueningkai : be more chill (bmc)
you can not tell me this boy didn't have some sort of issue making friends
the photos of him sitting alone at lunch (?) pre-debut???
hes so jeremy heere
because he's really just a sweetie
but no one notices him besides his very close friends
definitely would almost accidentally take over the state of new jersey
type of boy to go all the way if he likes a person
im talking joining the same clubs as them
and even joining the friend group they're in
all of it
we all know he used to think so poorly of himself and talk down on himself
like he had those voices in his head
has his michael in the bathroom moments
thinks he's a loner, a loser, a freak
you know the usual high school insults
but he's able to grow confident, with some help
i luv hueningkai ;3
and i luv be more chill
Tumblr media
authors note : i lied this is not based off of making the bed. my bad. whoops. maybe next time!

sorry if you've been asked this before but have you gone to college or are you interested? a lot of my fav writers went to pretty prestigious places and have masters or phds etc and i was the type of person who never thought i'd be able to go to school for writing (or anything really) but i'm gonna try this upcoming school year. would love any insight you have if any <3
my feelings on further education for writing are complicated, but to put it out there at the top: i did not go to college & do not consider it necessary to be published
i did not apply to college in high school, which was highly controversial according to teachers, who insisted i need to at least look. i had some poor grades (almost failed creative writing, almost failed sophomore english) & did not attend many after school programs. i skipped class, had a suspension on record for fighting, & i was deeply deeply clinically depressed. i was in therapy, on medication, & could not see that another few years of school would suit me, especially because i was trying to come out as trans in a small school & that exhausted & despaired me. i did not have savings, scholarship offers, & my parents had told me since childhood that any secondary education would be my responsibility
i would like to go to college now i think, or at least attend more workshops & small classes for poetry & fiction, but i still feel it is very unlikely. education costs are too high for me to consider it an agreeable sacrifice for those experiences & connections. if i had the chance to go somewhere for writing, it would have to be within a financial margin that seemingly does not exist for current college costs & i refuse to take out loans, especially when i would rather work a day job & further my transition
i think it is very possible to educate yourself. there are lots of online resources available that can provide you with lessons, prompts, readings, & "homework". one key element, that ive discussed with other published friends, is that doing it alone... means you are that: alone. there is a lot of value in being taught by someone or someones who can answer your questions & give you a uniquely human perspective. i have taught myself a lot privately, but it does come with a sometimes crushing distance that can feel downright alienating, if not discouraging. there is a thrill in discussing poetry in a group that cannot be replicated in solitude
on the other hand, i think experiences cannot be taught in a classroom. to write, you must live first. you have to have material & it is difficult to craft material when you are entirely occupied with study. heartbreak, loss, love, wonder, can all happen during college, & even college is its own experience, but i do think there is a lot of overlooked value in people who just do... people things without wondering if it'll make a good poem
when i went to a writing retreat last year, i was the only man to attend (or ever apply!) & the only person in the group to not have gone to, or actively be in, college. i was torn between thinking i was an outsider, because everyone around me was "better educated" & feeling like id accomplished something all on my own
so... at the end of the day, i think it is entirely personal whether someone goes to college for writing. i know people who have gone & loved it & others who did not find it useful. i think these depend upon yourself, the school, your style, what you're hoping to achieve, etc. i think most of all it's deeply important to learn with other people when you can, to talk to people about poetry, to go to readings & subscribe to journals & visit libraries & take notes. how that is done is up to you
