Notes: Every single time I wrote mark my autocorrect wrote Markiplier and it's making me cry
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Byakuya Togami
Will look down his nose at you when you suggest it, but gives in with a sigh through his nose
Will not allow you to leave them anywhere visible
If you even try it he'll order you to get off of him for at least an hour
So I wouldn't suggest it
Him, however, secretly enjoys leaving them on you
A perfectly placed one right on your shoulders makes him smirk to himself when thinking about it later
Really likes the sounds you make when he marks you, but doesn't dare say it out loud
Tumblr media
Celestia Ludenburg
Probably renews her old hickeys on you when they're fading
Somehow knows how to get rid of them on herself without makeup??
So mark as you please bestie she won't care
Enjoys pretending she's a vampire whilst doing it
Or if you're willing, you can be the vampire, but don't expect to be the big spoon tonight
She won't make a sound, but she'd be lying if she said didn't really really like it
Encourages you to make noise while she's sucking at the perfect sweet spot on your neck
Tumblr media
Toko Fukawa
Takes her a really long time to get comfortable enough to allow hickeys on herself
But that doesn't mean she won't leave them on you
You belong to her and nobody else, so in her eyes this is ensuring that everyone knows
When she does allow you to give her hickeys, she'll make the cutest sounds
Pulls at your clothes
Before you even start kissing, she has to remove every pair of scissors on her body and it's embarrassing to her during the whole process
Somehow stutters while moaning
Tumblr media
Genocider
Loooves giving hickeys
Dude seriously her tongue feels amazing when she's marking you and she's licking over the dark purple spots she's left
It'll be rare that you're allowed to give her hickeys because she's got you pinned the whole time
You might feel a poke from her scissors
Might turn it into a sex joke
Totally turns it into a sex joke
"Look what you've got poking your thigh, sugarcheeks! You've got me all excited~ FWAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
Tumblr media
Nagito Komaeda
So sweet about the whole thing
Just as dramatic about it
Evey time he asks first, and repeatedly asks if what he's doing is okay with you, you're happy, etc etc
When you suck on his neck he'll moan so gently kfsjfsntnnab
"C...Can you do more there, please..?"
If you encourage him, he'll do your entire neck in hickeys
Just give him the word first, yeah?
Says thank you afterwards like ??? sir??
Tumblr media
Gundham Tanaka
This man was FLUSTERED when you suggested it
He wears a scarf all the time anyways, so mark as you see fit
Won't make much noise, but his hand will tighten on your shoulder / waist / arm
Another one that pretends they're a bloodsucker when he sucks on your neck
"Fear, mortal, for I have marked you with my insignia of doom!"
His face will be red the entire time it's kinda cute
It's very cute, actually
Tumblr media
Kazuichi Souda
"I won't bite this time, Mx. S/o! I promise."
Bites you.
Pulls his beanie down so he doesn't look you in the eyes when you're on his lap
Or vice versa
When he sees the hickeys on his neck the later he'll do a little "tch" and grab a scarf that looks out of place, but he doesn't care.
When you mark him he'll squirm around the whole time
And when he marks you he'll hold you really tightly to his chest so you don't move until he's done
Tumblr media
Rantaro Amami
He actually doesn't care if the hickeys on his neck are visible
There's a reason he wears a shirt that exposes a lot of his collar bone
He finds it hot when you can see your handiwork later
Him basically broadcasting that he's taken is just a bonus
Grunts into your neck when he's sucking on it
When you're doing the same to him, he'll close his eyes and furrow his brow in the hottest way
"That's gonna bite me in the ass later."
Oh well

hey, do u want free gay stickers, mugs, and even BEANIES???
Tumblr media
WELL? DO U?? yes.
then please please donate to autostraddle and get those perks! for almost 10 years, autostraddle has been a newspaper run entirely by lesbians and femmes with big hearts. it is one of the most important places on the internet for homodykes....i can't tell u how much the website means to me. there are so few spaces where it's just you and your wlw friends, and they're called safe spaces for a reason. so rarely do you get to feel as safe as a lesbian as you do in the autostraddle comments section.
round-ups of tiktoks to thirst over with 0 shame, honest, beautiful personal essays about grief and abortions and lil nas x, fashion and love advice, which reveal how calico critters are the true lesbian fashion icons and what to do w nosy straights. a full sex toy section, which most recently posted "12 Sex Toys for When You Wanna Do The Monster Smash" (a review including pumpkin ball gags) and lovely articles about all the queer media around. a quite necessary column called STRAIGHT PEOPLE WATCH. and quizzes to find out which gay ghost is haunting ur house and meet ups in major cities and always, always, for scared twelve year olds and scared fifty-two year olds and happy twenty-somethings and every WLW in between, a place to be. (even if tumblr goes down.)
part of autostraddle's business model relies on fundraisers. they even stretched out the last fundraiser to make it two extra months! but it's time again.
if u have a heart that desires a sticker, please send them your quarters. if u have a spite that wants to fuck over soulless corporations, send these genuine, fighting independent queer ladies your change. if u just need to do something in these crazy times to make our timeline better....the best timeline is one in which autostraddle continues to exist.
FROM 1 HOMODYKE TO YOU...
THANK YOUUUU!!!

What’s a Period? (Neville Longbottom x fem!reader)
𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: Neville Longbottom
𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: y/n and Neville were suppose to have a nice winter day at Hogsmeade until aunt flow comes for a visit
𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭: none, thought of it cause I’m on mine
𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: none, pure fluff!
𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭:
𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: I don’t simp for Neville but my friend does heavily and theres not a lot of fanfics for Neville cause he gets like, 0% appreciation and y’all have great taste, also this is my first post so heeeyyyy😗✌🏼
Tumblr media
Y/n was suppose to have a beautiful evening in the cold weather with her boyfriend, Neville Longbottom. Unbeknownst to her, yesterday, a Friday in her last class, she’d start her period. It was embarrassing to say the least because she had leaked through to her skirt but she was able to get out of class without anyone noticing, flushed cheeks and teary eyes as she ran out of class, her hands covering her bum.
Laying in her bed in her pajamas y/n was clutching her stomach and groaning from cramps. Y/n wanted to find Neville the day before and tell him they’d had to reschedule but she didn’t want to set her face an inch out of the painting until Monday, hoping whatever people thought happened would’ve been forgotten. She tried to make herself as warm as she could, cacouuning herself in a blanket and curling into herself as far as Y/n could.
Neville was making his way to her domitory, bundled up with a beanie and scarf, matching with a pair of gloves from his grandmother. Stopping in front of the door a knocked twice and called her name. No answer. Knocking again he said.
“Y/n? It’s me, Neville....you’re boyfriend?”
Still no answer.
Taking a deep breath Neville grabbed the door handle “please don’t be naked” he whispered. He entered the room with his hand over his eyes and the other still on the door handle, after a few seconds he took a peak from between his fingers to find her curled in bed, her back facing him. Concerned Neville makes his way to her in only a few long strides.
Sitting on the bed behind her, he begins to rub her back “are you awake?” He asks softly, she nods her head.
“Yes, I’m awake, I don’t want to get out of bed”
Neville leans over to take a look at her face to see tears running down her cheeks. He takes his glove off and gently wiped away a tear or two “what’s wrong, love?” Sniffling she mumbles to him “imonmyperiod”. Neville opens and closes his mouth, trying to processes what she said because he couldn’t hear her “I-I’m sorry, what?” He stuttered.
Y/n sighs and roll over to face him, guessing there’s no way to beat around the bush with this one. “I’m on my period” she told him, looking at her fingers, Neville took a few more seconds again before saying “uhm....what’s a period?” Y/n let’s out a small chuckle. “What? Your grandmoms never told you about it?” She asks him, he shook his head “no, never”.
Biting the inside of her cheek, thinking of ways to easily explain having your period to Neville. “Well” y/n begun “every once a month females bleed out from there.....you know” gesturing to her genitalia “and it technically means you’re not pregnant, so in a way it’s a blessing and a curse because you get cramps and they hurt really bloody bad” licking his lips and taking in the information he just received, failing with a few words Neville asks.
“So....you aren’t pregnant?”
Her eyes widen “merlins beard! No! That’s the whole point of me having my period, so I know I’m not pregnant” she tells him, he lets out a breath he was holding in. “I’m mean, Christ, Neville, we’ve never even done anything” Y/n laughing came to a stop as another wave of cramps invaided her stomach and letting a few tears slip. Neville lays his hand on your shoulder “are you alright? S-should I take you to Madam Pomfrey?” She shook her head “no, I’ve dealt with it before, you should get to Hogsmeade before everyone leaves” y/n told him.
Neville visibly swallows as if he didn’t want to go without her “are you sure? I can stay here with you, I don’t mind” he insisted, once again y/n shook her head “no, I don’t want you to waist a Hogsmeade trip on me, I’ll be alright, I’ll go to the next one, I just want to sleep these cramps off” she said as her eyes started to flutter closed. Neville had an idea, leaving y/n alone to leave for Hogsmeade, catching up with Dean and Seamus.
“What’s up with you, mate? You’re counting your galloens like they’ll disappear” Seamus said, wrapping his jacket around him tighter. Dean let out a quick laugh, Neville glanced at him then back down to his galloens “y/n on her period, so I thought I might get her some of her favorite things” he replied. Seamus looked puzzled, looking at Dean for help. “Alright, a female gets a period about every once a month?” Dean says.
“Once a month” Neville confirms, still counting his galloens.
“Right, so basically they bleed out...down below, and they get like bad cramps and stuff” Dean told Seamus, looking more confused and slightly disturbed “how do you know, Dean?” He questions, Dean just gives him a look “I have sisters you prat” smacking Seamus upside the head, giving out a light chuckle.
Neville visited her favorite shops, stopping first at The Three Broomsticks, waiting patiently up at the bar for him to be spotted. Not long after a lady spots him and makes her way over to him “how can I help you, love?”
“Uh, y-yes, can I get a hot chocolate to go please?” He stumbled, he wasn’t the best when it came to talking to strangers “m-my girlfriends on her period” sometimes he overshared too. Giving Neville a warm smile the lady ordered another employee to get the hot chocolate. Neville stood there, looking down at the bar top “you must be a good boyfriend” the lady said after a few seconds of silence, glancing up at her Neville responded “I-I hope so”
Laughing a bit the lady handed Neville the hot drink “alright, that’ll be two galloens please” reaching into his coat he grabbed two galloens, placing them into the lady’s hand and grabbing the cup “thank you, have a good day” the lady gave him a nod “no problem, you too hun” Neville turned to leave but the lady called after him “I recommend going over to Madam Puddifoots and getting ginger tea, it helps with cramps” she told him, he gave her a smile and a thumbs up, scurrying over there.
Nevilles last stop was Honeydukes, getting y/n chocolate after Hermione told him it’s a essential for periods. Getting a few more of his and her favorite candy, he headed back to Hogwarts with Dean and Seamus. Seamus going on about something Neville wasn’t paying attention to, his mind was back to her, wondering if she had been crying again from the pain. It only made him want to get back to Hogwarts quicker “you need help there, mate?” Dean asks “your arms are practically over flowing” Neville appreciated his gesture cause his arms in fact, were over flowing “yes please”.
As the students started to trickle through Hogwarts entrance, Neville broke away from his friends and made his way to Y/n as quick as he could without spilling or dropping anything. Once he made it back to her dorm he somehow managed to open the door and find her in the same position, upon hearing the door open y/n turned to see who had come in, spotting Neville and his arms full.
Sitting up and staring at Neville with her mouth open as he placed two drinks on her nightstand and all the goodies at her feet “Neville...” she started, he sat down next to her “I thought it would be a nice thing to do, after seeing how much pain you were in” he told her, she felt tears prick at her water line and her vision blur a bit “oh, love, you didn’t have too, this is so sweet” Neville just pulled her into a hug and let her cry a few tears on his shoulder “I wanted too, you deserve it” he whispered to her.
Making room for him, she told him “here, get under the covers with me, you must be cold” he slipped off his shoes and took his first jacket off. He handed her the hot chocolate “here, I know how much you like The Three Broomsticks hot chocolate, a lady there recommend the ginger tea from Madam Puddifoots for the, uh, cramps” a huge smile etched its way onto y/n‘s face, leaning forward she gave him a kiss on the cheek before placing a sweet kiss on his lips “thank you so much, Neville, this is hands down one of the nicest things someone has done for me” she told him.
Feeling his heart sore with love and appreciation, Neville wrapped one of his arms around her shoulder and pulled her in to cuddle “Hermione suggested I get you chocolate as well” he said reaching for a few chocolate brands, handing them to y/n. Throwing her head back and letting out a groan she reached for the chocolate, wanting to devour it “yes, oh my god, you don’t understand how badly I’ve been wanting a chocolate frog or two”
Neville looked down and smiled, even though she didn’t go to Hogsmeade with him, he’d say it was a great day. The two of them ended up spending almost the rest of the day sitting in bed and talking, but it was a perfect way to spend it.

hey mcnuggy!! im a really small artist who just started a patreon to try and raise money for some important things (emergency fund incase i get kicked out, fund to afford a better tablet so i can persue art post-secondary, etc) and so far i only have one pledger. what are some ways i can attract more patrons? :0 i wont plug it here unless you specifically give permission, but anything helps!
I would be happy to share your patreon if you like!!! Tbh i’m still learning and don’t have as much experience with patreon compared to other creatives who have hundreds of supporters ;w; but here’s what i’ve seen and done that has helped! 
(What can YOU provide) specifically, what do you have to offer that others don’t? I know I can draw daily and thus can post 5-7 times a week! so I can provide a lot of content without any extreme changes to my schedule! I can draw adult content, and have some bit of industry experience to share! Maybe you make paper dolls, or have your own unique characters and story, or make custom beanies, or even just have a super specific art style that no one else has etc.! This can also be small stuff too such as creating incentive with tiers! (ex: tier 10$ supporters get a free sketch commission, tier 20$ get to help you pick a theme for a monthly comic, stuff like that!) 
(Advertising) don’t be afraid to advertise yourself and what you have to offer! I’m still shocked when it works, but it really is just as simple as posting a close up sneak peak of something you’re sharing on patreon to get people interested! not sfw content always works the best for this, but it can be anything that gets people intrigued such as a cool project or unique content that can’t be seen elsewhere.
(Make your supporters feel like they’re a part of something) This can mean having polls, letting them make requests while non supporters can’t, letting them vote on potential ideas or projects you will have in the future, I even change the kind of content I indulge in and post if i see supporters gravitating towards it (ex: making more not sfw taz content cause not many people do it so ya know 😌✌️)
(Create excitement!) This can be announcing big projects and showing behind the scenes to your patreons, or actively engaging with your supporters through messages and comments! I personally really like doing my monthly patreon recaps that I share because it creates excitement, makes me feel good about all the progress and work i’ve made, AND it’s advertising my patreon, so it’s really helpful!! ;w;
(Thank your patreons) THANK THEM!!! every chance you get!!!! on every advertisement post, on random art posts!! thank them!!!!!! ;w; it’s what they deserve 💕
again, i’m still learning how to expand my patreon and improve but this is some of what i’ve seen others do as well as what has worked for me 🥺💕, yeah!!!! 
hope this helps!!!!!

(abandoned) all i want for christmas is woohoo
kim seokjin / kim namjoon genre: uni au, fluff, crack rating: general words: 4.9k warnings: clownery, i knew nothing about uni, character dynamics based off a fic none of u have read a/n: incomplete prequel to the yoonmin fanfic i wrote three thousand years ago. i will never finish this so here’s what i started and left behind for the dogs to have at
The stranger makes a noise of voiced agreement. “Mood.”
Tumblr media
September 8th.
One thing they never tell you before going to Uni, is that it’s fucking mental on Move In Day.
Obviously, he had some idea that the student digs would be fairly busy with students moving in, but he never expected to be waiting in a thick line of tired and excited first years for around fifteen minutes, only to then wait another twenty just for the student- who, by the way, was way too busy picking at her purple nail varnish to give two damns about Namjoon’s clearly very important moving in schedule- to find his key on the board barely 50 centimetres away from where she was sitting.
So, yeah- when his sister comes to Uni after him, he’s definitely going to warn her about the madness that is Move In Day, because clearly nobody else had cared if Namjoon was stuck waiting like a doormat for one student who thinks she’s something to hand him a key. I mean, how hard can it be? He doesn’t get it.
“Sorry about the wait,” another male student, who noticed the lack of enthusiasm from second year student apparently named Jisoo, says as he moves from behind the desk to give Namjoon a silver key on a chain, with two other keys present. “Here are your keys- one’s for the front door of your flat, second is for the main building in-case you’re late after hours and the third is for your pigeon box.” He pauses: “no help from your parents?”
Namjoon shrugs politely, “Just me. My parents are back in Ilsang, couldn’t make it.”
“Bummer,” the student replies. Along with the keys, he shoves a brown paper bag into Namjoon’s hands with a toothy smile. “Your complimentary moving in gifts, from the students who moved out! Thanks for picking Blossom Island as your student accomodation!”
Although Namjoon wants to tell him that Blossom Island was the only cheap option out of three absurdly priced accomodations for first years, he doesn’t; instead, he smiles, lips closed and dimples on display, nodding his head and turning all within the same second. The student moves away after, so he doesn’t feel bad about ending the conversation so abruptly.
Blossom Island is located smack bang outside of campus, across a small stream that Namjoon thought would be filled with blossom, but instead is littered with algae and tinfoil. It’s large, tall like a regular apartment complex, with a courtyard out the front with a bouncy castle that Namjoon can already see some people jumping on with what he assumes is their new roommates.
Namjoon leaves the lobby- should he call it a lobby? It was more of a downstairs kitchen and living room, with two small sofas and a mounted flat-screen, a pool table pushed weirdly in the middle of the colourful boxed room and a door near the back wandering into the community study area, another door for what he guesses is for laundry. Hauling his suitcase and big, cardboard box in his arms across the courtyard, he follows the number on the key- number 8, floor 6, Kyoto Building and barely makes it five steps without almost dropping the box entirely, all thanks to some jerk wearing Thrasher and a beanie.
“That’s what you get for not tying your shoelaces.”
Mid-crouch, Namjoon looks over his shoulder and spots Min Yoongi stepping out of the building, followed by a rather proud looking set of parents, preening at the fact that their son is going into Nursing. Due to that, he bites back a curse word he figures would be impolite for the elders, and manages a smile in the sun.
“What? He clearly pushed into me,” Namjoon reasons, standing upright and saying a hasty hello to Yoongi’s parents, who, in all honesty, have never really liked him much. He laughs breathily, waiting for a few seconds before asking, “where are you?”
Yoongi checks his key. “Number 13, Floor 0, Juko Building. What kind of name is Juko, anyway?”
“Beats me,” Namjoon scoffs. “I think Juko’s close to Kyoto. I’ll come visit when you’re all settled and moved in, yeah?”
Yoongi nods, already beginning to walk away. “Yeah, I’ll get your mug out ready.”
That’s the thing with Yoongi, Namjoon thinks as he walks away; he’s always been about the little things in life. In the many, many years that Namjoon has known Yoongi, he’s never really changed- Yoongi has always been compassionate and cutely caring, buying two mugs instead of one and making pasta for two when he knew Namjoon was due to visit on days his parents were working late. And he feels bad, because Yoongi is a giving guy, not a receiving one.
He watches as Yoongi leaves with his parents, and he feels weirdly sad. It’s none of his business, too, as he watches the three Min’s enter the Juko Building, painted a pastel pink with mint compliments, swirling patterns dancing as the leaves on the trees move in the whisper of wind.
Namjoon now has the urge to paint.
Tumblr media
In Number 8, Floor 6, Kyoto Building, Kim Seokjin finally sets down the last potted plant on the sparse looking shelf above his desk, and he steps back with his hands on his hips to admire the minimal effort. Although it definitely took some struggle, what with his Dad accidentally dropping his bag with his Nintendo inside and his Mother judging his absurd amount of pink bath-towels, Seokjin has a feeling in his stomach- the feeling where you know that everything is going perfectly.
There’s a smell in the air; blossom from the large tree outside his window, propped open on the hatch to allow a breeze air out the room. Since his roomie hasn’t arrived yet, the least he can do is get rid of the stuffy smell, something strangely similar to pool chlorine. He inhales it deeply, a smile tugging at his lips. Seoul weather amazes him- even though Gwacheon is a blink away, Seokjin is already starting to feel like a new person.
Maybe it’s just University excitement. Maybe it’s University nerves. But, maybe it’s also because he really needs a wee and can’t think properly.
He waits nicely for his parents to finish up straightening every single crease in his bedsheets before saying goodbye. Although he might tease to their faces that he won’t miss them, and they won’t miss him, Seokjin knows from the minute they open the door to head back out to the corridor that it’s going to take a while to adjust to life without the nagging, but endearing, guidance of his family.
Because Seokjin has always sort of been the baby boy of the Kim’s from Gwacheon- his older brother inherited a type of broodiness that Seokjin is thankful he hasn’t got yet, and so Seokjin’s always been the favourite. The favourite crawler, the favourite footballer, the favourite baker and painter- in honesty, Seokjung never wanted any of that. Seokjin’s proud of who he is- he’s so fucking proud of his family. So he sort of takes pride in being the baby boy of the Kim family. He wears it like armour, glistening armour that represents him in front of a whole army of potential threats and friends.
Jinyoung, an old friend, used to say it was embarrassing- as if Jinyoung doesn’t have a comfortable enough life with parents who would murder for him, but Seokjin doesn’t care. Why should he be ashamed of being loved? Most families aren’t as close as the Kim’s, so he takes extra care in making sure his family know that he loves them. That’s the sort of guy he is- giving, occasionally receiving, but giving, giving his whole heart and soul to everybody else in order to make others happy.
Seokjin pinches the bridge of his nose as the door closes with a sickening click, the noise muting around the faint buzz of traffic across campus and the baby birds in the nest a few floors down on a branch, fluttering in the wind like wings. He’s so lost in the way the small twigs are woven together, like the way a spider builds a web, or an ant a colony, that he doesn’t realise three minutes have passed.
Now he really needs a wee.
Tumblr media
When Namjoon opens the door to room 8, he’s surprised.
Not shocked, but surprised. Because there’s a difference between shock and surprise- shock is entering a room and finding a serial killer, but surprise is walking into a room and finding a party. The difference is in the level of reaction, and Namjoon hadn’t walked in and been completely thrown off by a wall of cute posters and the obvious collection of DS games and a cool looking computer. If anything, he’s intrigued. Surprised. Pleasantly surprised, perhaps.
To the right, Namjoon hears the toilet flush and he knows that he has a couple seconds to look around the room and plonk his bags and box on the plain bed before his roommate emerges from the bathroom. As he sets them down, he casts a gaze towards the right side of the room where his roomie has claimed a bed, a desk and a small looking wardrobe near the door. On the wall next to his bed, a collection of posters have been washi taped to the boring blank canvas- although, as an artist, Namjoon considers anything blank and white to be inviting and anything but boring, because a canvas holds endless opportunities- and his bed covers are a washed out blue, a colour that now, actually, as he’s looking at it, is becoming more chiffon coloured.
It’s evident his roommate likes video games- half the posters on the wall are related to games he knows that they must like; Animal Crossing, a small Stardew Valley postcard and a commissioned drawing of Jinx from LoL, taped next to a large artwork of Mario Kart and more postcard art of games Namjoon thinks he’s heard of but isn’t sure- The Last of Us, Tekken, Zelda. He pretends not to notice the small Minecraft postcard in the corner of the mural but weirdly enough, he finds it endearing knowing that someone at University still plays Minecraft. 
Most of all, Namjoon notices the strange obsession with The Sims, as seen through multiple artworks and the fantastic collection of Sims3 Expansion packs sitting on the shelf above his bed, next to pop figures and a photo frame of a group of friends.
He wonders if his roommate will let him use the expansion packs when he’s bored.
“Oh, hey.”
Clearly having not heard the bathroom door open, Namjoon spins on the spot to look back at the bathroom, where his roommate stands with his hand animatedly raised in a wave, a smile lifting his cheekbones. They look pale, almost watery, but Namjoon doesn’t say anything. He knows why.
“Hey. Namjoon,” he says, leaning forward to shake his hand. For a moment, his roommate stares at the hand, as if wondering what to do with it. “What?”
His roomie shakes his head, moving to shake his hand once, up and down, before letting it drop. “Nothing. It’s just, well, how many people give handshakes nowadays?”
Namjoon thinks it over in his head. “Well, a lot of people. Useful in business, and stuff. A manager might want to shake your hand at a job interview.”
As he says the words, Namjoon can tell by the passing look on his roommates face that he wasn’t expected to give an answer. He stops talking after that, looking back to his bed with a feeling similar to embarrassment, while his roommate moves towards the window and clears his throat awkwardly.
“Seokjin.” He finally introduces himself. Seokjin- it has a ring to it. Namjoon says it over in his head, growing familiar with it. Now that he’s mentioned it, Namjoon looks back over his shoulder and realises that he looks like a Seokjin. The name suits him. “What’re you studying here?”
“Art and Design,” Namjoon replies with a brief smile over his shoulder. Seokjin isn’t looking, anyway. “Nothing too crazy.” He looks at the wall of posters- “Are you studying graphics?”
“Yeah. I’m studying Digital Art,” Seokjin replies, and it’s clear in the way his whole body moves as he says it that he’s passionate about his subject. He laughs shortly, “Isn’t it funny how we’re both doing art and we got pushed together? Do you think that’s intentional?”
Namjoon shrugs, taking out his clothes first from one of his suitcases. “Maybe. I’m glad you’re Digital Art and not Performing Arts. One, this room is not big enough to dance and sing and two, I don’t want to be woken up by a classical alarm clock. You know?”
Seokjin laughs and it suffices as a reply.
As Namjoon sifts around his bag and pulls out the remainder of his clothes, Seokjin turns around and watches for a swift three seconds, and then moves back towards his desk and absent-mindedly moves around his keyboard, straightening it up.
“Do you need any help?” he asks, and as Namjoon turns to catch his eye, he notices he means it genuinely.
“Uh, I’m alright,” Namjoon replies, and even though Seokjin can clearly see the amount of work he has left to do to his half of the bedroom, he doesn’t pry and decidedly drops it. He shrugs.
“Alright then. I’m gonna head out,” Seokjin says. He gestures with his head to the hallway. “Out on campus, they’re doing that thing. What do they call it- Wildflower? I think I just wanna go meet some people. I can wait for you, and we can go together, if you want?”
Namjoon does want. He really wants to. But he takes several glances back at his boxes and frowns deeply. And anyways, he’ll have plenty of time to hang out with Seokjin later, won’t he?
“I’ll pass,” Namjoon rejects him softly, a smile on his lips as if to say, I do want to come but I’m way too busy. Seokjin’s lips twitch into a pursed mouth and he nods. “I’ve just got a lot to do. We could hang out later, if you want?”
“Sure,” Seokjin replies, already inching towards the door. “Yeah, alright. If you need help, just text me. I’ve got my number on the pinboard above my desk- just incase, you know?”
Namjoon glances over; surely enough, on a corkboard pinned to the wall above his desk and beneath the shelf, he can see the sleek black letters printed with “emergency number” written next to it in messy handwriting. He smiles, mostly because he’s never seen someone have their own phone number hung up in their room before, and nods without looking in Seokjin’s direction. “Okay, thanks, Seokjin-ssi.”
Seokjin makes a sound similar to a laugh, air through his nose, a small intake of high pitched breath afterwards. Out the corner of his eye, Namjoon can see him hovering his hand over the handle and to be polite, he finally looks over. Something tells him he was waiting for that.
“Seokjin should be fine,” Seokjin replies with a smile.
Tumblr media
By the time Namjoon finishes sorting out his things (and by sorting out, he means that he’s hung up his clothes and kicked the cardboard box towards his desk out of the way), Seokjin’s still not back from Wildflower, and quite frankly, he’s bored.
As if by a magnetic pull, he finds himself leaving Kyoto building to trudge in the mid-move-in-manic, across the small courtyard where the bouncy-castle has deflated thanks to someone jumping on it wearing shoes, and towards Juko building, a big clump of pastel next to the white blossom tree that Namjoon is jealous of. Yoongi’s room, even back at his home in Daegu- where Namjoon had lived throughout his entire high-school life before his parents moved back to Ilsang during his final year-, was somewhere Namjoon had felt completely and utterly accepted. At home.
He always found it funny how Yoongi said the same thing for him- his bedroom back home was small, smaller than the dorm room he has now. It was an average room, with small bold letters spelling out his name on the front of his door, and his walls were painted a navy blue with dark wood floors that went through the entire house, with thrown around covers and three pillows to sleep with and furniture which didn’t match the colours. But Yoongi’s room was different. Yoongi’s room was Yoongi.
Slanted ceilings and an off-white coloured paint-job on the walls, with grey curtains and white sheets and an electric piano pushed up against the window-wall, overlooking a small line of houses out the front of the street Yoongi lived on, a tree that turned orange in October. On his walls, Yoongi liked to keep it minimal, minus the posters of his favourite artists and a little area above his desk for pictures of him and Namjoon, his first family pet, a ticket to his first family vacation when he was thirteen, dried flowers from a tiny bundle he was given on a Valentine’s Day. His first Valentine’s gift. A memory. A wall of memories, stuck with shimmery tape and dried blue-tac on the white, unremovable, stuck like glue. It was everything Namjoon wanted in a room. It was everything Namjoon needed in a place to feel completely and utterly safe.
Namjoon wasn’t surprised that Yoongi had stuck with the bland style of dorm room, compared to the bed next to him which his roommate- a kid studying Music with an incredible obsession with BoA and Michael Jackson- who, even though he was an amazing artist, Namjoon always felt weirded out by.
He stands by the doorframe as Yoongi shuffles to straighten his blanket at the end of his bed, simply looking at the decor, taking it all in with a deep breath. His roommate stared at Namjoon waiting in the doorway and pulled his lips to a frown, excusing himself, “...heading to Wildflower, bye,” being the only words he ever said to Namjoon.
“Namjoon, I hate it.”
“You’ve been here for two hours,” Namjoon frowns, sitting on his roommate’s bed. He won’t mind (only he does, and he notices the imprint of Namjoon’s arse left behind which he thought would disappear after five minutes.) “It’s not that bad, surely?”
Yoongi shakes his head adamantly. “I wanna go home, Joon. I don’t wanna do nursing.”
“You might really like it, though,” Namjoon sighs. “You never know!”
“I don’t want to study nursing,” Yoongi repeats himself through pouted lips that Namjoon can hear. “I wanted to do art, or music like my stupid roommate. I don’t know why I’m here, Namjoon, I really don’t know why I’m doing this to myself.”
Namjoon knows it’s hard for Yoongi. His family expect too much- like most parents, actually, Yoongi knows they want the best for him. But, the best isn’t forcing him into a nursing degree.
Toying with the frays on Yoongi’s roommate’s blanket, Namjoon says, “hey, hey, calm down. It’s fine- if you don’t like the first three classes, you can’t be expected to stay. You’ve got to do what you want to do.”
Yoongi bites his lip before replying. “I have nowhere to go if I drop out. I’ll do a year, maybe. Maybe half a year. Oh, I don’t fucking know. I don’t wanna give up and let down my family, you know?”
Namjoon does know. His parents had wanted him to be a lawyer. His sister, Kyungmin, wanted Namjoon to do something with his music. But, like the delinquent he is, Namjoon always knew he had a passion for art. Drawing made him happiest- letting his thoughts draw something on a blank canvas was the closest thing to real magic. Singing your feelings is one pleasure, but capturing the colours and movements onto paper was something Namjoon found absolutely rewarding. Thankfully, his parents knew there was no point in forcing him into doing something he wouldn’t enjoy. He was lucky.
“Yeah, I know.”
Yoongi knows Namjoon knows, and he also knows Namjoon doesn’t know what to say. He pulls at the bridge of his nose and lets out a low grunt. “Anyway. How’s your roomie? A weirdo?”
Namjoon shakes his head. “No, not really. I mean, he’s really into video games but it’s not overbearing. Kinda endearing. He’s fun. Seokjin.”
“Oh, cool,” Yoongi replies, nodding slowly. “You get all the good stuff, you know that?”
“What’s mine is yours,” Namjoon says with a frown.
At that, Yoongi smiles. “Yeah. I know, Joon.”
Tumblr media
Wildflower lives up to the frantic Google search that Seokjin did moments before heading down to check it out. Even before arriving, he could smell the variety of foods on rickety stalls, and hear the experimental strum of a live band getting ready to play near the main building to the University campus.
Ducking his head underneath the waving arm of another female first-year, Seokjin took a stroll around the small section of Wildflower, politely looking at the bits and bobs he could purchase, like complimentary University flags and tapestries for walls, or a coffee where the change went to a local suicide-prevention charity. He bought one, a tea that was too milky for his taste, and continued walking.
He hadn’t bought much change with him. After the rather awkward first meeting with Namjoon, Seokjin had let it slip his mind. Regardless, he wasn’t willing to let the lack of coins and a credit card spoil his First Day mood. Inhaling the smell of a nearby Jjinmandu stand, he let his stomach steer him towards it, collecting the spare change in his pocket- luckily for him, he had around 4,000 in his jacket pocket which more than comfortably paid for a portion of Mandu.
“Here you go,” the server hands Seokjin his small paper dish of Jjinmandu with a smile, a smile that reminded Seokjin of his third-year teacher back when he was a child. Warm, inviting, kind, a mother’s smile. She smiled toothily when Seokjin handed her more than he was being charged, saying it was a tip, first day luck, or something. She bowed her head meekly.
Without wanting to hold up the slightly growing line, Seokjin moves out of the way and towards a small cluster of metal tables and chairs, shivering as the umbrellas moved in the wind, passing the sauces with a thoughtful pause. He has time to kill; he puts his dish on the small counter and puts a tiny blob of sauce in the corner, and he dips his finger in to taste it. He recoils visibly, finding the taste too bitter.
From somewhere behind him, Seokjin hears what sounds like laughter and he turns, surprised, and finds another student with a bright orange lanyard hung around his neck. He’s a total stranger, with hair pushed into a black beanie and a denim jacket covering a brown shirt, with some black jeans with the knees cut out. On his feet, worn out Converse. Seokjin does a double take.
“You know that’s spicy BBQ, right?”
Weirdly enough, Seokjin finds that he sounds exactly like what he thought he would. He stares at his glasses, first, and the way they slide down his nose, slightly oily because of the heat.
“Don’t you usually have teriyaki with Mandu?” he continues, wandering over to glance at the bottles of sauce, before pushing a slightly stained bottle towards Seokjin with a smile. “There. Honestly, scrape off the BBQ, this will taste so much better.”
Seokjin feels dumb. “I only usually have the tomato chilli. “
“Yeah, and BBQ?”
“No,” he replies, and then he laughs quietly, “no, never BBQ. Let’s call that...first day experimenting.”
The stranger nods along, shoving a mouthful of his own Mandu. Seokjin wants to point out that he has sauce on the corner of his mouth, but it feels rude. He barely knows him.
Glancing at the lanyard around his neck, Seokjin finishes his mouthful- “Are you staff?”
“What?” the stranger asks, caught off guard. Then, he looks down at the lanyard and smiles, politely, not in mockery, and shakes his head, disturbing feathery hairs that were once tucked up into the beanie. “Oh, no. No, I’m a first year.” He chortles at Seokjin’s stunned expression. “What, do I look really old?”
“No,” Seokjin replies. “I was just...surprised. I don’t know- today’s been weird for me. I’m all over the place.”
The stranger makes a noise of voiced agreement. “Mood.”
They stand in silence for a couple moments after that, eating, staring off at the little stream that ran around the perimeter of the small square, listening to the sound of the live band kicking off their setlist with a slow song appropriate for the weather.
The stranger swallows his Mandu, pointing at Seokjin with his spork without really realising, “oh, I’m Hoseok by the way.”
Hoseok. A name to the face.
“Seokjin,” he replies. Now he’s finished his Jjinmandu. “Digital Art.”
Hoseok makes a noise. “Woah, no way.” Gesturing to himself, “Art and Music.”
Seokjin wants to laugh. “That’s so weird. My roomie also does art. It’s like I’ve been thrown into a pool full of art students.”
“Yeah. Well, we are in the Arts Square. Wouldn’t it be weird if I was doing Chinese studies and I hung around in the Arts Square on my first day?”
“True,” Seokjin nods.
Talking to Hoseok is easy. It’s so fucking easy- it’s as if Hoseok has been a friend for years. They walk together, along the small path that barely fits them both, weaving around the stream. Seokjin learns that Hoseok is from Gwangju, and has a sister who designs clothing in the city. Hoseok, in return, learns that Seokjin barely escaped being a lawyer and comes from a family inheriting endless zeros. It doesn’t bother him. It usually bothers people.
“It’s cool that you got to do what you wanted to,” Hoseok says as they walk further along campus. Now, they’ve reach the on-campus convenience store, the artificial lighting making Hoseok squint, even though daylight still pushed on. “Most kids don’t when they’re in your kind of position.”
Hoseok quickly looks over, “I don’t mean that in a bad way, I only-”
“No,” Seokjin agrees, nodding and thrusting his hands into his pockets. He dips his head upwards, inhaling the smell of the sunshine, before looking at Hoseok with a friendly smile. “No, you’re right. Most kids don’t. I’m lucky.”
Hoseok’s grateful Seokjin didn’t misunderstand. “Hm, maybe we’ll be in each-other’s classes.”
He says it with a hopeful tone, lightly nudging Seokjin’s shoulder with a small smile, that caused dimples to spread across his lower cheeks.
“I hope so,” Seokjin replies, but the sound of the stream covers it. Hoseok keeps walking, not making it known if he heard. He probably hadn’t.
Tumblr media
Namjoon rolls over the next morning, not quite remembering how he got home and when, and squints at the Sepia screen of his phone. It reads 6:45am, too fucking early to be awake on a Saturday.
did you get home ok yoongi
dont think i care about you or anything yoongi
Namjoon snorts quietly, wincing when he thinks he’s woken up Seokjin across the room. But, when he looks over towards Seokjin’s side of the dorm, he notices that he’s not even in bed. His sheets are tucked in tightly, and his jacket is absent on the coat hangers on the back of the door.
Holy shit, Seokjin gets up early.
yeah. hows minjoon, the name robber joonie
seriously fuck off he’s playing fred videos yoongi
it’s fucking 7am yoongi
Namjoon scoffs, mostly to himself- because who else is he going to scoff too?-, and rolls over flatly to press his feet onto the flattened out carpet of his room. The sun barely peeks through the shitty curtains, and he yawns loudly, feeling the euphoria of a morning stretch. Namjoon sighs with pleasure at the feeling of his body stretching out, letting his arms drop and grabbing his phone to reply to Yoongi, who Namjoon’s surprised is awake, even when Fred is involved.
i thought fred had died, fr joonie
bitch me too but here we have his channel, still screeching away about rubber sharks in his tiny swimming pool yoongi
im really not joking joon. i wanna quit so bad i’ve been here less than 24 hours and i’m already fantasising about drinking the bathroom bleach yoongi
He’s about to reply when the door to their dormitory room swings open, and the hostility of the swing almost makes him drop his phone on the floor. Namjoon scrambles to catch it, staring up with surprise at the sight of Seokjin carrying two mugs of what appears to be tea. Namjoon smells the cranberry as Seokjin comes closer with a sheepish, yet almost smug, smile. Bare in mind, Namjoon hates cranberry tea; at the smell he smiles and fakes joy.
“Saw your post-it saying you had to set an alarm for seven,” Seokjin said casually. “Figured you’d be up by the time I came back with this...hope you like cranberry.”

S1E01: Descent Into Eldervair
“Welcome to Eldervair Court, please enter your code now,” the pleasant, computerized female voice prompted. Betty groaned, because of course she had stopped the white Toyota Highlander too far away to reach the keypad. In her defense, this car was given to her by the Bureau as a part of her cover and she'd only been driving it since this afternoon. The thought of the mountains of paperwork she'd have to fill out if she so much as scratched its paint filled her with dread.
“Please enter your code now,” the recording prompted again. Was it her imagination or did the recording sound exasperated? Betty cracked the driver's side door open a fraction and leaned through the window to punch in the numbers she had memorized the night before.
“Please enter your co-- Welcome home, Mrs. Fletcher.”
“I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing that, do you, Snookums?” The sardonic male voice piped up from the passenger seat.  
Betty breathed through her nose, silently counting down from ten before she turned to glare at her pretend husband for the next few weeks. Agent Forsythe Pendleton Jones (“the third, unless you have a daddy or necrophilia kink”), aka Jughead, was partially slouched in the seat.  He no longer sported his ever-present crown beanie, though Betty wouldn't put it past him to have it stashed in a box somewhere. For someone who had his head covered most of the time, his hair looked criminally good.
And Betty had a right to complain- the humidity had made her hair wavy and frizzy. Inherit her mother's 'great hair' genes, she did not.
“Speak for yourself, Buttercup.”
Jughead wasn't Betty's usual partner, but Kevin was taking a well-deserved vacation. (His reaction, when he found out Jughead and Betty would be partners? “Oh dear god, there'll be no self-restraint there. None.”). Jughead didn't have a usual partner; he'd been heading up the X-Files division on his own in his tiny basement office.
She wasn't sure if she'd been partnered with Jughead because she was one of the few agents who didn't make fun of him, either behind his back or right to his face, or because her superiors were tired of her go-getter personality and quick close rate on cases.  Or they had decided 'who better to pretend to be husband and wife than two agents who used to be married to one other?'
Barely sparing a glance at her ex-husband fidgeting in his seat, Betty moved the gearshift back into 'Drive' and steered the vehicle through the now open gates.
Eldervair Court was a massive, walled community in upstate New York— built into a partially cleared section of Fox Forest. As they began to make their way down the winding drive, the multitude of trees gave attractive cover, but nearly blocked out the sky entirely. Given that the weather that day was overcast with gray skies, Betty was immediately unsettled by how isolated she already felt from the world beyond the walls.
The trees faded away just enough to reveal rather enormous but attractive red-brick houses, each on top of a sloping grass hill, with stone steps and pathway leading to the front door. Georgian architecture, Betty thought. Maybe revival, maybe original. Just how old was this community? They hadn't been able to figure out when Eldervair Court was incepted.
The houses were all completely identical; the lawns perfectly manicured with attractive rows of rose bushes. Not a single speck of what might be termed 'character' could be found. They looked, for lack of a better word, perfect.
It gave Betty war flashbacks to her own childhood.
“These aren't houses,” Jughead muttered, right leg jiggling anxiously as he stared out the window. “These are mini-mansions.”
Betty frowned, the surrealism getting to her. “Yeah, I wouldn't say it's all very Stepford Wives, but...”
“More David Lynch's Blue Velvet meets Tim Burton?”
“Something like that.”
As she turned into the driveway, Betty spotted an expertly coiffed redhead in a black sleeveless blouse and red palazzo trousers standing up on the porch with a ruby-red grin on her face. Clearly she was the welcoming committee.
“Showtime,” Betty muttered as she plastered on the smile she'd learned from Alice Smith Cooper.
“It's almost like meeting your mother all over again,” Jughead groused under his breath, eyes trained on the woman on their new porch. Betty didn't even dignify that with a glare.
As they exited the SUV, the moving truck with two other agents backed up into the space next to them. The weather here was still warm for late September, so Betty had dressed semi-casually according to a popular Fall Fashion Pinterest board and Jughead wore a nice pair of new black trousers and a blue sweater that did fantastic things for his eyes.
(She'd given him that sweater several Christmases ago.)
The redhead sauntered up to them on towering red stilettos. “Bonsoir, Fletchers!” She trilled. Now that they were closer, Betty could make out the shape of the woman's broach— it was a spider.
"'Will you walk into my parlour?' said the Spider to the Fly.
She was met at the top of the driveway by a petite pink-haired woman, this one dressed in all black and floral platform ankle boots. Once she struck the perfect couples pose, the redhead addressed Betty and Jughead: “Welcome to Eldervair Court, we're the Topaz-Blossoms and yes, we're domesticated lesbians.”
“Cheryl,” the pink-haired woman scolded lightly, the soft smile on her face telling Betty she was used to her wife's dramatics.
“Sorry TT, I didn't mean to engage in bisexual erasure. 'Domesticated lesbians' just has a better ring to it. Forgive me, mon amour?” Their noses rubbed together in an Eskimo kiss before Cheryl remembered her new neighbors existed. “As you can see, EC is a progressive, open-minded community, as long as you keep your lawn up to regulations!”
Sensing that Jughead was about to make a sarcastic comment, Betty beat him to the punch. “That's wonderful! I'm Juliet and this is my husband, Holden,” she introduced them, patting a hand on Jughead's chest to warn him to watch his mouth.
And also sell that they were definitely a married couple, not a pair of divorced FBI Agents. Nothing to see here, let's move on.
“I'm Toni,” Pink Hair said with a small wave. “Cheryl and I live two doors down, next to the Andrews'.”
Cheryl clapped her hands. “Now that we've dispensed with the niceties, since you two took your sweet time arriving, we're going to have to hurry if you're going to make the six o'clock cutoff.”
“Cutoff?” Jughead frowned. Glancing down at her phone, Betty saw it was 4:51.
“The six o'clock cutoff? All move-ins must be completed by 6 PM. It's in the R&Rs.” Cheryl intoned, as if that ought to have been obvious.
Toni at least had the grace to look regretful. “Yeah, you're really going to need to brush up on the Rules & Regulations. They're the price we pay to keep this community successful.”
“We'll definitely read it through carefully,” Betty promised. “It's just been so busy lately, what with the move and all...”
Cheryl had already whipped out her phone and her thumbs flew over the screen. “I've conscripted some of your new neighbors into helping with the unload. With my superior delegating skills, we'll have you moved in in no time at all!” With a flip of her hair over one shoulder, she was off, barking out orders at the people crossing the street towards them; Toni made a beeline for the moving van.
Betty and Jughead shared a look before they made their way to the front door. In front of the columns on either side of the porch sat two statues, their grotesque features seeming to leer at her. Gargoyles. They were gargoyles. A shiver made its way down her spine.  Keep it together, Betty, she told herself as she slid the key they'd been sent into the lock.
From the entryway, the view of the home was magnificent, there was no other word for it: high ceilings, paneled walling, and tall windows that let in plenty of light. There was a sweeping staircase and the hardwood floors looked to be dark maple and wide planked.  Jughead curled a proprietary arm around her back, resting his hand on her hip.
“Now, Lambchop, what do you think? Is this the place for us or what?”
They'd lived in a tiny two-bedroom in Queens, a paradise before Jughead's undercover gang assignment destroyed them from afar.
“It's right out of a dream, Bugaboo.”
Tap-tap-tap-tap. Shaking off her sudden melancholy, Betty turned at the sound of heels on hardwood on to face Cheryl's approach. “This place is downright immaculate,” she pretended to gush. “I would love to send the previous owners a Thank You note.”
Cheryl made a disinterested noise. “Whatever suits your sensibilities, Juliet dear. You can give it to me and I'll send it on to them,” she said with eyes downcast, pretending to study a scuff mark on the floor.
No, you certainly won't, Betty thought with a vicious stab of satisfaction at catching someone in a clear lie. Because Dilton Doiley was dead and his wife, Ethel, had gone missing.
A steady stream of people with boxes started coming through the open door. In the distance, Betty could see their undercover movers unloading the first of their carefully selected furniture. Now, there was a job: join the FBI and use your interior design degree to stage undercover agents' homes to help sell their cover.
“So,” Cheryl carefully enunciated. “What is it that you do?”
“Oh, I'm the social media manager for an event planning company in the city and Hols here is working on his third novel.” Betty beamed with pride at her pretend husband's achievements. Thanks to Amazon and Kindle Unlimited, it was disturbingly easy to backstop Holden Fletcher's novelist career in such a way that it was believable that the couple could afford to live in Eldervair Court.
The Bureau hired out-of-work English Majors and MFA degree-holders to do things like this, too.
Cheryl made another noise, clearly not impressed by what it is that they do.
That's when it got a bit weird. A redheaded man, who had been introduced to them as 'Archiekins' by his immaculate wife in pearls and a dark plum sheath dress, shouted out the time.
“5:40!”
The stream of neighbors turned into frenzied rapids. Before they knew it, all the boxes were inside, as well as the furniture, if not in the exact room they belonged. By 5:58, everyone was exiting the house with words of welcome and half-formed plans to have dinner tomorrow night.
“We'll leave you to it. Toodles, Neighbors!” And with that, Cheryl closed the door with a flourish behind her.
“Dear god,” Betty groaned, shoulders slumping.
“Yeah, nothing weird going on here at all,” muttered Jughead before he turned away from the front door. “Hold on, you didn't let me carry you over the threshold—“
Betty simply rolled her eyes and made her way toward the kitchen. They'd brought two coolers full of food to last them until they could go grocery shopping tomorrow. The Bureau had only intended to give them one, but Betty had renegotiated the second, knowing what kind of appetite Jughead had. She wanted to get the perishables into the fridge before it was too late.
She stopped short when she caught sight of the two items on the granite countertop. “Ju-” she caught herself in time. “Sweetie, come see what our neighbors left us!” she called out.
In less than two seconds she felt the heat of him at her back. “Well, wasn't that nice of them?”
Next to the enormous, spiral-bound binder that proclaimed 'Eldervair Court: Rules and Regulations' on the cover, was an ivory box with two detailed black-and-white creatures stenciled onto it. Inside the ornate red frame, written in Gothic lettering were the words:
Gryphons & Gargoyles

RWBY Volume 7, Chapter 1
What is up, FNDM!!! At long last we are back with an all new volume of RWBY, and thus I am back to gush about it! Let's just jump right in with my thoughts and opinions on Chapter 1 of RWBY Volume 7, "The Greatest Kingdom"
MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW:
I swear, the moon gets prettier and prettier every volume. This opening shot is incredible.
When we heard his one line in the trailer, I was blown away with how little I could tell that Qrow had a new voice actor, even though I was listening for it. Now that we get to hear more of it, the differences are admittedly starting to stand out a bit more. That being said, I don't think it will take long at all to get used to it, andJason Liebrecht is still doing an amazing job. I certainly look forward to his performance moving forward.
Looks like I was right in the finale in that the lower area is Mantle. I must say, it looks amazing. Everything about it just looks so dirty and industrial, definitely what I would imagine for the slums of the technological giant that is Atlas. Major kudos to CRWBY for this setting design.
Ooh, both Ironwood and Winter get new outfits. They look good, though something about Ironwood's beard looks off to me. Maybe I'm just not used to it, but something about the shading makes it look photoshopped on. Maybe it'll look better in the future.
Decided to pause on the newsboard that the purple haired dude is looking at, and I must say, while there isn't a lot there, what can be made out is...foreboding. The bottom middle headline I believe says "Outer Wall Damaged" which certainly seems like it will be important later, while the one to its left seems to be an opinion piece on the dust embargo. The standouts, however, are the top two. The first on the left talks about a journalist being found dead (always a good sign in politically charged climates) while the one on the right talks about an upcoming council election. Specifically, it talks about a "Mantle Hometown Hero" (whom I am assuming to be the woman on all of the posters that looks like she wouldn't look out of place in The Dragon Prince) going up against an "Atlesian Tycoon." Five Lien on who THAT could possibly be. Are Team RWBY and Friends going to have to go up against Jacques in a political arena? Because that could get pretty interesting.
I'd say that drone was too cute to die the way it did, but quite frankly it was far too funny for me to muster up that much compassion.
Yeesh, our first look at the Faunus Dust Miners, and it is not a pretty sight. Or maybe it's just the drunk asshole spouting casual racism. Either way, it's an ugly sight.
Thank you Weiss. We were all thinking it, put the trash where it belongs.
So did the drunk with the blue beanie know who they were? I feel like that was what he was trying to say before he decided to eat shit.
I don't know who the mouse Faunus girl was that exited the clinic, and we'll probably never see her again, but she was adorable as hell and I feel like that deserved mentioning.
Hmm, a robotics technician that resides in Atlas, has similar hair style and skin tone to the guy we cut to when Penny died, and is currently wearing a pink bow tie? Yeah, no idea who this is.
I love his chair. That is all.
"Days Since Last Nonsense: 0" I like the added touch of 'nonsense' being written down the side where room ran out.
If we never get to see Nora try Pietro's dancing shoes, this entire volume will be considered a waste.
So, seeing how incredibly obvious it is as to who this Pietro guy is, did anyone else perk up a bit when he referred to his daughter in present tense?
Hehe, convenient-reveal-delaying Grimm attack is conveniently-reveal-delaying
I see the Atlesian are as useless as always.
This score sounds like it's based on a song we'll be getting later, but even if it isn't I am loving it all the same
Even though his pose was completely different, when Oscar stabbed the Sabre Grimm in the head, it reminded me of Scrooge Mcduck's pogo attack in the old Ducktales game.
And there it is. The major even that they have been teasing us about for months, the big Vol 7 premiere surprise, the one, the only PENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to see our precious robot girl back! Now all we need is Pyrrha and I will be happy once more
Let's face it Ruby, any other greeting simply would not have done this reunion justice.
Plus side, the status of RWBY redheads just got a lot less endangered.
"We have so many things to catch up about" Oh, Penny, you have no idea.
Dangit, Qrow, you had to jinx it, didn't you. I mean, I guess that's pretty on brand for you, but still.
These Ace-Ops guys certainly seem...colorful (despite most of them wearing the standard boring Atlas white color palette). I'm particularly interested in who I'm assuming is the leader, who the credits name Clover Ebi. I don't know who or what his character allusion is, but I feel like him being covered in stereotypical good luck charms is a sign.
Woohoo! New intro time! Just like last time, there's a lot to unpack here, so let's get into it
-The opening silhouettes remind me a lot of the original trailers, and quite frankly I love it for that. Not sure how I feel about the more pastel color pallet, though. -The shot of Team RWBY flying through the sky and shifting throughout all of their main outfits? A stroke of genius. -They seem to have updated Yang's semblance effect from the Bees vs Adam fight. It looks amazing and I love it. -Ironwood alone in a dark war room certainly doesn't seem ominous-Hmm, now the Ace-Ops guys get there own silhouette portraits? I am certainly interested in getting to know these guys. -When we zoom out on Watts's computer, alongside the Ace-Ops we see something to do with Mantle's security network as well as an election map. This election is definitely looking like it's going to be a main focal point of this volume. -Nothing too special here, just a few character shots, a silhouette of Tyrian looking creepy, Ironwood looking angry and sad (though the effect of the snow and ice consuming him is interesting),  Jacques and Whitley looking smarmy, Weiss and Winter looking at each other (their facial expressions are certainly telling of what their relationship is going to be like this volume), Pietro and Maria, a group shot of Teams RWBY, Team JNR, and Oscar, and of course, Penny looking adorable. -Now that we're getting to see it in motion, I must admit that Jaune's new haircut doesn't look too bad. Also, I noticed his shield now incorporates hard light dust. I wonder if it just widens his shield a little or if it will manifest in other ways as well. -When the Mantle citizen threw a rock at the hologram of Ironwood, it briefly flickered to Jacques. That's concerning. -The action scenes are a lot of fun, with Oscar training with Ironwood, and Weiss and Blake in the dust mines, but the really interesting one is the Mantle Hero and Qrow going up against Tyrian. I wonder if Qrow knows her. -The group shot at the end is very My Hero Academia and I absolutely love it. -Wow, even Qrow gets a new outfit. It only took him twenty years. -Ooh, a brief look at the Relic of Creation. I admit, I was hoping that the relics would each have different color schemes, like having all of them be gold is fine, but I was slightly hoping where the Relic of Knowledge was blue, the Relic of Creation would be maybe green and the Relic of Destruction would be red, or something like that. Still looks cool though -There was not a single hint of Cinder or Neo in the opening, and that somewhat worries me.
Hehe, credits humor "Drunk Mann played by Joel Mann" Ah, once again, RWBY shows that it knows how to come out the gate swinging. They've set up a lot of interesting things in this first episode, and I can not wait to see how it all plays out.

Injured Boy
Tumblr media
Hey, can I make a request with Adrien Rabiot when you come to see him play with PSG and he gets injured. Sorry for the language ❤ Word Count: 814 A/N - At the time of writing, he was a PSG player. Whether he has left after I’m not entirely sure. This isn't real, most of what I have wrote is a made up situation as he isn't playing right now. You were coming to see Adrien play for PSG. it has been a crazy couple of weeks for him with many rumours of him joining different teams. That didn’t happen, so he was still at PSG. He was willing to gain the trust of the manager and even the fans. You were so happy to see him finally back in the team. He knows that there was so much going on and that he probably shouldn’t have been like that. But you were hoping it was going to be a new chapter for you both now. Adrien was hinting so much that he really wanted you to go and see him play, because it had been a while He wanted you to be there for him after such a long time out. It was a cold night, so you wrapped yourself up with your big hooded coat. Also having your beanie on and scarf. This was the dedication and commitment that you were putting in to see Adrien play tonight. You were so excited to get there. When you were watching Adrien, it just made you smile so much. Seeing him out there always made you very happy. You got to the stadium, it was very cold and it was starting to get very busy. You weren't one of those girlfriends who didn't get involved you had to be fully involve din the football. You would sit in the family section, it wasn't near the fans. But it was with the other family members of the players. Once you sat down, Adrien's number come on screen and you were instagramming while his name and number appeared. This is what you had been waiting for, it was such a long time coming. He walked out with the team, you were just so proud of him. You were cheering as the teams were now ready to start playing. While he was playing, it was around 30 minutes in. He got clattered into, it was such a bad challenge. "Shit" you mumbled. You knew that he wasn't getting up. He looked so ad, it seemed as if he was in so much pain. You just wanted to go and run down to see him poor thing. Especially after being out of the team for quite a while, he didn't deserve this. The stretchers were coming out, it looked so bad. You were devastated. You felt really upset for him. You decided you needed to just watch the game because he was obviously going to get treatment. The game ended in PSG winning 4-0, it was a great win. Once the game had finished you headed down to go and see Adrien. He looked so broken, he was always so smiley, But it hurt looking at him. He had his hair scraped back into a small ponytail. "I'm sorry" you mumbled as you kissed him on the lips. He weakly smiled. "It's okay, twisted my knee real bad" he sighed. "Sorry again, I will drive you home" you said as you placed your hand on his face, gently rubbing it with your thumb. "Thanks baby" you smiled at him as you took his wash bag as he walked beside on his crutches. "Is it your knee or your ankle babe?" You asked him. "Knee, it completely twisted under me. It could be a while since I am back playing, as long as the swelling goes down pretty soon. But hopefully it isn't too bad" you smiled at him as you get to the car. "Do you need me to help you get in babe?" You asked him as you stood beside him, opening the car door. "No I should be okay beautiful. Thank you, just take these for me" he says as he hands you the crutches. You nodded taking them from him. The drive was very quiet, he really wasn't in the mood for talking When Adrien got like this, it was best to not talk because you really didn't want to annoy him even more than what he already was. You turned the music on because you felt quite awkward now so it was best to have some on. You finally got home. "Right lets get you on the sofa baby, shall I look after you?" He smiled as he sat on the sofa. "Yeah I will love that. I mean you don't have to if you don't want too" he said to you as you shook your head. "No babe, you are injured and in so much pain" you said to him. "Oh you are too good to me gorgeous, thank you so much. I will have some food then if you are offering to do something babe" He smirked as you rolled your eyes. "Well I bloody suppose I have to now didn't I" you teased Adrien as you left him watching football highlights.

tagged by nini (@tanqram) to share the story of how i biased yanjun!
before i start, i want to say THANK YOU ♡ to nini ! i’m really, really glad i did this ! — it reminded me of all the moments that made me fall for yanjun, and gave me the freedom to address even the littlest details that i’ve come to learn & love about him :’) 
Idol Producer Era
to be completely honest, looking back on when i first started watching idol producer, i would have never ever ever expected yanjun to become my bias. but alas... he not only became my bias, but skyrocketed up my entire bias list and became my ultimate bias. 
i distinctly remember that the first video i watched of yanjun was his Upward! Challenge, and my first impressions were:
cute taiwanese accent
beanie man
the guy who told a cold joke instead of using the allotted time to promote himself (reflecting on this, it was actually a very tactful way of promoting himself because it made him memorable ! moreover, cold jokes are such a large part of yanjun, so he was really just being himself :’> )
this video was enough to leave an impression of yanjun on me from the beginning, but it wasn’t enough for me to remember his name. i also didn’t watch his introduction video until waaay after i was into the show, when i really started noticing him. so at this point in my mind, he was really just the ‘cute taiwanese boy with the beanie’. 
it’s such a shame that i didn’t notice yanjun all that much in the beginning. perhaps this was because of the lack of screen time he had, but because i didn’t see ‘cute taiwanese boy with the beanie’ again that much in the first few episodes of IP, he was quickly pushed back into the corner of my mind by the many many other trainees on the show. 
then came the first evaluation in episode 4, and yanjun was in codename contra team a. when yanjun introduced himself on stage, he kept it super brief and cool, only saying, “hello everyone, i’m rapper lin yanjun” and i thought, woah what a stoic guy...giving off such a strong aura despite such a quick and short introduction...and what enhanced his ‘高冷’ aura was of course his handsome face. i feel like the vibe he gave off here (cold yanjun) was so different than the vibe he gave off in the Upward! challenge (soft yanjun), that i literally didnt even acknowledge that this man in codename contra was the same ‘cute taiwanese boy with the beanie’. so i thought i was basically watching a new trainee that i havent noticed before. when the voting results came out for the members, yanjun had suuuch a high number of votes that i was like woooow this guy is really popular, and no wonder, because he’s so handsome :0 its all visuals man. boy was i wrong
i continued to watch the rest of the team evaluations, and yanjun basically didn’t pop back up again until AI NI TEAM in ep 7. and boy oh boy was my world turned upside down. 
if i remember correctly, i watched the clip of the ai ni performance video on youtube before i watched the full episode 7 on iqiyi, and let me just say that tHE MOMENT YANJUN STARTED HARMONIZING TO JEFFERY AND DINGHAO’S FIRST LINES, I WAS JUST LIKE. WHO. IS. THAT MAN. and WHY HAVE I NOT NOTICED HIM BEFORE???? (clearly, yanjun’s image changed so much that i could not link him back to the same rapper guy in codename contra, nor his upward challenge video) and then yanjun’s first line in ai ni just threw me out of the window and like i was sQUEALING the entire time. i’m rewatching it as i am writing this and I still get the butterflies in my stomach....because the concept is so fluffy and cute and i am weak to vocal yanjun. the whole time i was just asking myself who yanjun was, and his voice suited the song so much and i was just practically melting the whole time. (i still am every time i rewatch this performance tbh)
thanks to the ai ni performance, the rest of my idol producer journey was basically a scavenger hunt for every single yanjun moment i could find. i went to finally watch the entire ep 7, and found out how dorky and funny and playful yanjun really is during the training clips of ai ni team, went back to watch his introduction video, and like scrambled to find him in the first evaluation, where I finally realized that THIS IS THE SAME RAPPER MAN IN CODENAME CONTRA, AND HE’S THE CUTE TAIWANESE BEANIE GUY. i basically had an epiphany and was like WOW cute beanie guy is now my BIAS. 
so after ep 7 was when i REALLY really really really REALLY focused on yanjun. i was sososososo happy he and nongnong were both placed in firewalking, 1. bc it was my fave song from the concept song demos, and 2. he and nongnong are so compatible and i love seeing them together.
in ep 9, a really memorable clip was when dinghao was feeling down and the rest of the banana boys sat down with him to talk it out and comfort him. here, a lot of yanjun’s individual commentary was shown and i think this was when i first started to learn about his mature side that was really genuine, reflective, and empathetic to others. around this time was also when i watched the videos of yanjun reading fan letters, and i found how the fans and him communicated with each other was so cute, and how he smiled and laughed as he read the letters was so endearing.... it really showed how much he loved his fans, and how he thought about showing more of himself through the show. theres one part in the video where the fan wrote, “i wish you to fight for more screen time so more people can know about you!” and yanjun just laughed and replied, “omg sorry...i really don’t know how to...*nervously laughs* ok-no-nvm-i WILL TRY MY BEST” and IDK WHY but my heart kinda broke at this moment because i could relate???? like, he obviously wanted to try his best and have more screen time so more people would notice him, but at the same time he’s really not the type to show off, but rather, he’s the type to quietly work hard by himself to be acknowledged, and akrjhgkjhgjkhjjh i kinda had a moment of reflection that i didn’t notice him much in the beginning either because of the lack of screen time, so ;___; this moment really made me realize how he’s always quietly working hard and will show his efforts and thoughts in a more hidden and private manner, but once his efforts reach you, it’ll impact you so much stronger than if he went and announced his efforts publicly. (did this even make sense... do u know what i mean dkjhkhg)
fast forward to it’s okay - i’m still sosoossooso happy yanjun got to be the center. i think it definitely contributed to him rising in ranking and finally placing #5, which no one expected. i’ll never forget the moment he bent down on his knees and kissed the stage, it was really a life changing moment for him. 
Post Idol Producer
after IP ended and yanjun finally becoming a confirmed member, i wanted to keep up with his and 9%’s activities so i started a tumblr. hmmmm... this was when i started actively stalking following yanjun on weibo, and found quirks about him through his posts, and through other fans’ posts about him. for example, he always keeps the messages in his posts short, will express his thoughts in hashtags (much like tumblr, but he’s so much more poetic about it lol), will share songs with fans frequently, will share the books and movies he enjoys, will always wear the gifts that his fansites gift him to confirm that he’s received them, loves art&literature, is quiet and reserved so he may come off as cold but is actually very thoughtful and warm and always thinking about those around him, always tries to read his fans letters because they energize him, loves taking long baths to destress.....
and the more i found out, the more i realized that other evanisms also love the same things about yanjun - that he’s so much more than just a pretty face. he’s introverted, which makes his actions more complex as they are motivated by a deeper meaning he wishes to express. he prefers staying at home and engaging in activities alone rather than going outside, which makes fans more intrigued in what types types of books and movies and music he likes, all the more to better understand him. evanisms all really empathize with yanjun because of his sincerity and transparency with his words. what he says hold so much truth, and it’s hard to stop yourself from dissecting it sometimes. 
even though now i’m not as caught up with his activities as before, i still really really love and respect yanjun as both a person and an artist :) i really look forward to his future, i’m sure big things are in store for him. 
- miki

Tumblr media
you met chan during the summer on the bus you took everyday to your favorite coffee shop
the moment you had stepped on and trudged on through the adults and exhausted students a tuft of grey hair had stood out to you
he sat the aisle across from two boys and the seat next to the window was empty
you had never seen them before but were extremely thankful to the fact they hadn’t taken up your spot and settled into the back, even if they were kinda cute
especially the boy with the slightly damaged grey hair
you weren’t the type of person to be nosy but every single day you stepped onto that bus in a glum mood their conversations and bright personalities seemed to cheer you right up
you looked forward to it and eventually from so much eavesdropping you discovered their names
the boy who usually had a hat on was jisung, another boy who usually had a beanie or mask was changbin, and cute dimple grey boy was chan
you specifically liked to listen to chan talk
one day you stumble into the bus a little later than usual after waking up late and make it a minute before it departs
as you drag yourself to your seat you notice a little elderly lady comfortably sitting with her bag on the seat next to her
your heart sinks as you realize you have no courage to ask her to move her bag
the bus is full of everyone in their usual spots
except…oh no
the only empty seat is next to chan
you look around praying for a new empty seat to magically appear and it seems your luck is especially bad on that day
you conform to standing and holding onto a rail and as you look around nervously
you meet his eyes as you look around and panic
they’re looking at you with the utmost concern that you nearly melt
wow his eyes are so pretty?
“uhm, excuse me, the seat next to me is empty if you’d like to sit.”
changbin and jisung are shocked as chan gestures next to him with a shy smile
you almost faint as you take wobbly steps next to him, bowing about 500 times
“thank you so much”
HOO BOY MAYBE IT’S THE BUS COMING TO A SCARY HALT BUT EVERYTHING AROUND IS SPINNING AS HE SMILES AT YOU
“it’s no problem”
you notice the trio is a lot more hush and awkward than usual and feel a little guilty
until chan turns around and tries to start a conversation
he’s genuinely interested in what you have to say in response to his questions and smiles a lot
his dimples are so cute up close
you find out the three boys started coming on the bus as they purchased their own recording studio
they created their own rap group called 3racha on soundcloud and became extremely successful as a result
at the end of the ride all three of them say goodbye to you and nudge chan 
he just turns the brightest shade of red
he’s stuttering and scratching his neck,, it’s so cute
“well, i hope to see you tomorrow bus buddy!”
oh boy are your cheeks heating up quick as you hear changbin stifle a wheeze and poor chan is living in pure regret in that moment
jisung is like “no please ignore changbin” and trying to let you both live but it’s too late
and it all kicks off from there
for the next six months you both get to know each other better through slowly exchanging numbers, hanging out all the time, from visiting the three while they record, and eventually forming a strong bond with all of them
and getting an even stronger crush on the bang byungchan ooo
and on the seventh month of knowing each other when you get onto the bus there’s a little rose on your usual seat
jisung and changbin are whistling and pretending to not be spying on both of you
boy they suck at not being obvious
and chan is looking at the floor and then at you and back at the floor while jiggling his foot up and down
“i think i really like you and want to be more than friends”
god you hated that stuffy smelly bus so much but it just got 500 times more lovely to you
phew that took a while now let’s get onto boyfriend chan shall we?
you constantly nag him to put down his work and go to sleep but he refuses
and you refuse to leave him alone
you sit next to him every time he works on music at home
whenever he gets frustrated he just turns to you and buries his head into your shoulder in silence and wraps his arms around you except it’s messy and like a sloth
but you love it nonetheless
you are his biggest fan
every single musical decision goes through changbin and jisung but your word is the most important
“chan i think it’s nice already…but don’t listen to me changbin knows better and i’m not a professional”
“changbin who? i guess he’s just wrong.”
“no chan wait”
as a gesture of love you try to cook for him but it ends awfully
chan takes up cooking after that but he doesn’t mind
he always has you nearby so you can watch and learn
and whenever he has you try to do any cooking he watches you attentively
“no you’re doing it wrong, it’s like this”
and he’ll come up behind you and hold your hands while you cut vegetables
whOOPS the sudden contact makes you so flustered you cut your finger
“see it’s not that ba-WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING”
wee woo wee woo medic chan is on the way
your first kiss is in the middle of a disney movie marathon on the couch while you try to grab the box of pizza from him and he holds it up shaking his head and laughing
“give me a kiss first” and you’re like okay i guess and he’s like wait what and you just lean in
his whole mind goes blank and he drops the box on the floor and holds your face while he kisses you back
his stomach is in an absolute frenzy and you finally pull away and reach for the pizza with a huge grin
“i did it”
“i didn’t think you would and now i’m in a dilemma because i wanted the last slice”
lots of lazy cuddling on the couch after a long day of recording, he just loves taking in your scent and having you next to him
chan constantly keeps you up on your tippy toes
you procrastinate on all your college work and he’ll come by to check on you
“how’s it going babe?”
and you’ll drop your phone in shock and all he sees is you watching another group on weekly idol and now you know you’re in for an intense study session
whenever you try to joke your way out of your work or get distracted he gently scolds you and gets you back on track even if you protest
but your grades are always improving because of him and you’re thankful
no matter how busy he is saturday is the day specifically planned for you no matter what
one time woojin tried to come over and hang out with chan but he was quickly and gently shoo’d away
he’s not the type to get viciously jealous, but he does clear his throat and put a kiss against your cheek just to be sure that the other person knows you’re together
he’ll take off his hats and put them on you and your eyes always go so wide
you act like it’s nothing but it means so much to you and you feel so special when he does that and he notices
he thinks its the cutest thing in the world
your contact on his phone is “my baby” with a bunch of heart emojis and its so cheesy
the contact picture is worse it’s a picture of you sleeping and curled up into him
his snapchat is full of videos with the rest of the boys and both of you using filters and being silly
sometimes if you’re lucky and he’s extra tired he lets you climb onto his bed with him and straddle him while you draw things with his dimples
his favorite creation of yours is when you made flower petals around his dimples
he loves playing drake aloud on the bluetooth speakers in the house and showing you all his favorite musicians
and overtime because you’re so used to it you learn the lyrics too
and whenever songs like 0 to 100 come on you both grab a broom or mop and rap into the microphone and make exaggerated gestures and facial expressions at each other 
he does this little weird dance and you always follow
you look so cute to him with your messy hair and your bouncing steps and big smile and wow…he realizes he’s actually in love with you
just as you’re his #1 fan he is your #1 fan
chan pushes you to be more productive and believe more in yourself
anything that affects you negatively affects him as well… you’re both so united and everything that happens to both of you feels so personal
when things get rough for you he holds your hand and lies with you in bed until you’re ready to talk about it
sometimes he feels like it’s his fault and he’s deeply afraid of losing you
he gets a lot of dms on instagram from girls who are looking for more than just a conversation with their favorite rapper
and you’re always a little frustrated but happy as he doesn’t really care and doesn’t pay mind to it
one day you wake up and check your phone blowing up
he posted a picture of you and him holding hands on his instagram telling everyone he’s happily in a relationship and would appreciate not having his dms spammed
skinship with chan is so calm and soothing
he’s more about touching like hugs and hand holding than he is kissing but when he kisses you it’s passionate and more than just a peck
he always tells you how thankful he is he met you
and he could never say it out of fear of scaring you but he hopes to have a long future with you
he just knows he wants to be with you and keep you safe and happy
“hey chan?”
“yeah?”
“what are you thinking about?”
“i was thinking about how i want you to move in with me because it’s like you live here…if that’s okay?”
“i was thinking you’d never ask.”
one day he brings you to the studio and asks you to sit down and listen so you put in the headphones
the song is about the bus you met him on 4419 oh yes i love being clever
when he asks what you think he looks over at you and sees you’re crying and panics
“why are you crying? did i do something wrong? does it suck that much?” and you just gently smack his hand and wail
“i’m crying because i’m in love with you and that song.” and his heart just beats
it’s the first time you’ve told him you’re in love with him
and while he ruffles your hair to calm you down he hopes you can be his for as long as he exists

saimota prompt: warmth
it started snowing as i was writing this :0 is this a sign??
saimota / fluff / 2.8k / no despair / snow day
[AO3 link]
Shuichi woke up, bleary-eyed, to his phone buzzing repeatedly. It rattled to the edge of the table and almost fell off.
When he unlocked it, he found a dozen messages in their class group chat. Photos streamed in of Kaito, Maki, and Tenko on their morning run, wrapped up in scarves and big coats. The entire field was white with snow. Looking out the window, Shuichi saw snowflakes still gently falling past.
Kaito’s final message was a blurry candid of Maki, glaring at the camera. It said: ‘come to the park if u want ur butt kicked!!’
Grinning and rubbing sleep out of his eyes, Shuichi got up to find his gloves and boots.
*
The park was layered with at least four inches of snow. Students were coming out of their dorms dressed up in wintery clothes, buzzing to enjoy the rare snow day that was given. As Shuichi arrived, he spotted Kaito and a few other classmates rolling huge snowballs along the ground.
“Hey!” Kaito waved him over. He was wearing a beanie hat and mismatched gloves.
He greeted Gonta, Tenko, and Tsumugi, who were offering the giant snowballs to a twirling Angie. She claimed that she was going to build some beautiful, Atua-inspired snow statues, and Shuichi agreed he was looking forward to it.
Even Ryoma and Himiko were out, though half as energetic, they seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere. Rantaro was taking pictures of everyone for his blog, and Kiibo was barely able to move in the layers of jackets, coats, and fluffy scarves he was wearing.  
“Shuichi!” Kaito jogged up to him. “When was the last time we had a snow day, huh? Let’s make the most of it!”
He smiled at his friend’s enthusiasm. “What do you have planned?”
“I thought we could a snowball fight with everyone later. And Kirumi said she was gonna bring hot fudge brownies for after!”
The idea of a mass-snowball fight made Shuichi a little nervous, but Kaito was obviously excited for it.
“Well…we can help Angie with her sculptures for now.”
“Alright!” Kaito threw him a thumbs up, then leaned an inch closer. “Oh, and watch out for Kokichi. Don’t let him sneak up behind you with any snow.”
Despite the cold, Kaito radiated warmth as he leaned in. He paused for a moment, holding a breath, skipping a heartbeat. He had to get this crush under control.
“I’ll keep an eye out.”
When Kaito returned to the others, Shuichi immediately missed that warmth. He must’ve shown something on his face, as nearby Rantaro waved his hand with a sly look. Shuichi flushed, shook his head, and went to take a walk around the park.
*
Some time later, Angie had crafted two lifelike snow-people with such detail in their features, Shuichi thought the falling snow was going to disfigure them in minutes. Gonta was in the middle of building a snow-beetle, which was a smooth lump of snow covered in leaves.
The rest of the group had shown; Kaede had a coffee in each hand, following Kirumi with her tray of brownies; Miu was barely dressed for autumn, visibly shivering, but seemed to be enjoying herself anyway; and Kiyo had settled on a bench with a book, content to watch.
Shuichi watched as Tenko became Kokichi’s first victim. He was sure that Tenko would’ve heard Kokichi’s snickering, as he crept up behind her with a handful of snow. But she was too focused on her conversation with Himiko.
Her high pitched ‘eek!’ made Shuichi jump out of his skin. Kokichi stuffed the snow down the back of her jacket and ran, cackling all the way. Tenko’s expression was scary as she gave chase.
“If she catches him, Ouma may die,” Kaito said solemnly.
Shuichi laughed. “I hope he’s fast, for our sake.”
They kept running, chasing, dodging between Angie’s sculptures and unsuspecting classmates. They were both fast, but Kokichi was starting to pant, while Tenko hadn’t broken a sweat. Kokichi slowed to a stop and brought his hands up.
“Wow Tenko, I’m sorry, okay? I’ll let you hit me with a snowball for free. Come on, make it a good one, and we’ll call it even?”
She stared him down, then gathered a nasty-looking snowball. Himiko turned away, muttering, “I can’t watch.” Rantaro grimaced but pulled up his camera.
Once the snowball was launched, Kokichi did an acrobatic dive-roll. Strategically placed behind him was Ryoma, like the Archduke Ferdinand, the snowball clocked him on the head, knocking his hat clean off.
By now, everyone was watching. Tenko’s eyes went from blazing fury, to pure terror.
Ryoma picked up his hat and brushed it off. “So that’s the game we’re playing…”
“R-Ryoma! That was, uh, totally an accident. I mean, Kokichi–”
There was no mercy left in the ex-Tennis player. He was ruthlessly quick, and his swing was strong enough to knock most people out. The snowball shot like a cold bullet, missing Tenko’s head by mere centimeters.
“I’ll give you five seconds to run.”
Everyone scattered.
*
The simple, fun snowball fight Kaito planned became much more like a war. The park was a battlefield of barricades and trenches, with three teams plotting their moves.
Before Shuichi could really pick a side, he’d been pulled behind a snow barricade by Kaede, with Tenko, Himiko, Tsumugi, Rantaro, and Angie. He saw Kaito duck behind the opposite side. The next time he saw him, it’d likely be in battle.
With Tenko scouting, Angie and Kaede drew up the plan of attack. Himiko would stay and supply the ammunition from the safe zone, with Tsumugi laying cover fire from a distance. He and Rantaro were the frontline (or ‘meat shields’, as Tenko explained), for the other girls to try and knock down the enemy lines.
Of course, they also had to distract the neutral team. Wandering in the no man’s land, Ryoma and Maki carried their weapons, ready to aim at the first thing that moved. Gonta stayed outside as well, apparently immune to snowballs.
“So I’ll go and try to convince Maki to join us, while you and Tenko go with Rantaro and Shuichi, and push as far across as you can. Destroy as much of their walls and ammo as you can, got it?”
Kaede made a convincing leader, and Shuichi found himself getting fired up. If he saw Kaito out there, he wasn’t going to hold back. Everyone pitched in to make a final batch of snowballs before they set out.
“Wait - do you hear that?” Tenko hushed everyone and peeked over their barricade. “Someone’s coming.”
Before they could ask who, a quiet voice called out. “I come in peace! Take me to your leader!”
“Get lost, Kokichi!”
“Aww, man. I have juicy secrets from the other side of the field, but I guess I’ll take them to Ryoma instead…”
“Deserter! Why are you even here?” Tenko hissed at him.
“Those guys didn’t give me an exciting role, so I’m snitching! Isn’t that obvious?”
Rantaro and Shuichi shared a glance. This couldn’t end well. The team looked between each other, ultimately falling to Kaede. She shrugged.
“Might as well hear what he’s got to say?”
“Yaaay!” He hopped over their defenses and planted himself among the team. “You guys are gonna need a lot more snowballs. Miu’s installing an automated snowball flinger inside Kiibo, and Kirumi’s gonna bribe Gonta with sweets.”
“Great. Now what are they actually planning?” Rantaro asked coolly.
Kokichi pouted. “Alright, one of those two things is true. I wasn’t listening to anything else Kaito was saying, so I have no idea what they’re planning!”
It took a full minute for Himiko to convince Tenko not to bury him alive, let alone raise her voice. Meanwhile, the others came up with a back-up plan to intercept Kirumi, and discussed what kind of tactics Kaito would come up with.
“Shuichi, you know him best - what’s his game?”
“Well I can’t say for sure…” Shuichi was thankful that the cold disguised his pink cheeks, “I think he’d make the first move. I mean- he’ll rely on aggressive maneuvers to catch us by surprise. We should be careful, even here.”
As he finished explaining, a hefty snowball cracked into the barricade behind him. Tsumugi yelped and Kokichi took off running with a laugh.
“Th-they’re coming! Remember your stations, people!” Tenko narrowly dodged another snowball as she peeked over the wall.
A battlecry tore across the field. Shuichi grinned, adrenaline pumping for the first time in a while.
*
Kaito charged over the trench, scanning his eyes across the park.  His team seemed to be following his plan for the most part, half splitting off to distract and recruit Gonta. The rest had begun their assault. He threw another snowball towards where the opposition were starting to react.
A head popped up near where the snowball impacted, a familiar hat searching for the source. He made a ‘come at me’ gesture at Shuichi, who stared blankly at him for a moment. Was that too far…?
Then Kibo and Miu’s flank chased the rest of Shuichi’s team out of their barricade, a series of shrieks and loud laughs turning the battlefield into chaos. Kaito lost track of Shuichi as he dodged a volley of attacks from both Maki and Angie. He was easily caught up in the spirit of competition, returning fire, and throwing some fighting talk.
As the two teams fought, snowballs were launched from every direction. The walls crumbled, Angie’s statues became fodder, and before long, it was every man for himself.
Gonta and Himiko retreated to build a safety igloo, defended viciously by Tenko. Korekiyo and Maki soon lost interest, and Kirumi was none too happy when Kaede came out with a bruise on her forehead. Ryoma remained undefeated.
Kaito was crouched behind a snow lump and cherishing the last of Kibo’s ammo stockpile. He was breathing hard, creating puffs of fog in the cold air. With all this running and messing around, he could barely feel the cold - if anything, the snow stopped him from overheating.
He heard a light laugh nearby. Footsteps crunching on the other side of his cover. Kaito grinned, scooped up a snowball, fully expecting Miu or Kokichi trying to get the drop on him.
“It won’t be that easy, y’know,” Kaito spun round, aiming his shot- “Shuichi?!”
The moment he hesitated, it was over. Shuichi was beaming with a pure happiness, throwing Kaito so off-guard, he earned a snowball to the face. He staggered, sputtering, throwing his snowball at Shuichi halfheartedly.
“I expected more from the Luminary of the Stars.”
“You-! What-, damn, Shuichi!” Kaito brushed snow out of his beard. “Is this how it ends? My sidekick turns against me?”
Shuichi tossed his snowball in the air and caught it. “Any last words?”
He was too giddy to respond. Shuichi’s shameless smile was so cute, long lashes resting on bright pink cheeks, sugary snow dusting his dark fringe. His eyes were alight with a surprise competitive streak.
“Wh-whaddaya say we team up? You and I can take out the rest, easy!”
Shuichi seemed to consider his request, rolling the snowball in his hands. Kaito put his hands up in surrender and took a couple hesitant steps towards him.
“Hey…Shuichi… We’d make a great pair, right?”
Kaito worried for a second when Shuichi’s gaze dropped, cheeks getting redder. He held his breath. When Shuichi looked back up, his eyes went wide.
“Behind you Kaito!”
In an instant, he turned around, finding Kokichi dual-wielding snowballs with a sinister grin. He ducked, throwing himself behind the snowbank. As he went, he grabbed Shuichi’s hand and pulled him with him. One of Kokichi’s shots flew over their heads.
Kaito squeezed Shuichi’s hand, their faces inches apart. “Knew you’d have my back! Now go and get that bastard.”
Shuichi nodded wordlessly, lingering in Kaito’s warmth for a moment longer.  He squeezed Kaito’s hand back in a rush of affection. Then Kaito stood up, waving his arms at Kokichi and yelling. His hand felt cold without Shuichi’s.
“Hey! Over heeere!”
Taking the signal, Shuichi made a dash for the flank.
*
Everyone was frozen and exhausted by mid-afternoon. They went back to the college common room, ushered by Kirumi’s promise of hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies. Scarves, hats, gloves, and boots were abandoned at the doorstep. Kibo spent five minutes unwrapping, and everyone’s skin was dusted pink after coming in from the cold. After some chilled out music, chatter, and sweets, eventually the group started dropping back to their own rooms.
Due to the limited supply of blankets, Kaito had absolutely insisted that Shuichi share a space, curled on the couch beside him. There was still a decent distance between them, but Shuichi felt himself leaning into Kaito’s ever-present warmth. Over time, the distance slimmed, but Shuichi was sure he hadn’t moved at all.
The room became a much smaller group of friends by evening. Shuichi was dozing, barely keeping himself awake; Kaito, Kaede, and Kokichi were arguing over music taste; Rantaro and Maki finished off the snacks, sharing glances when someone said something dumb.
When he woke up, Shuichi had no idea how long he’d been sleeping. His head was leaning on Kaito’s shoulder, a spot that was so warm, soft, and comfortable, that he didn’t want to move. Only when he realised where he was did he sit up, face flushing.
Shuichi became acutely aware of his space, of Rantaro and Maki catching his eyes, and Kokichi snickering from behind a cushion. The conversation carried on as normal, but Kaito was pretending he hadn’t noticed. He had to be.
He yawned dramatically, planning his escape. “Well, I should probably head back. I’m getting kinda tired…”
“How can you still be tired?” Kokichi frowned at him. “You’ve been asleep for three hours now.”
“It was like two minutes,” Maki interjected, saving Shuichi from a heart attack.
“Ah…all the more reason to call it a night…”
He stood up and said goodnight to everyone, missing Kaito’s blanket and body heat with a shiver down his spine.  Kaito was unusually quiet, only offering a smile and a nod as he left. Shuichi’s heart sank. It looked like he’d made things awkward between them now.
*
When Shuichi left the room, Rantaro threw a cushion at Kaito.
“Hey! What was that for?”
Rantaro rolled his eyes. “You spend all day giving him gooey eyes, he falls asleep on your shoulder, and you’re just gonna let him walk away like that?”
“You’re breaking my heart right now, Kaito,” Kokichi whined.
Kaito rubbed his temple, looking for Maki and Kaede for help. Maki shook her head and Kaede pointed at the door.
“Go on. Or I’ll never forgive you.”
He hesitated for a moment longer, then without looking back, he jumped up to follow Shuichi.
*
Footsteps filled the corridor but Shuichi didn’t dare turn around, until he heard his voice behind him.
“Shuichi.”
Kaito sounded a little more serious than his usual tone. Shuichi put on a sheepish smile.
“Hey. Sorry about earlier, that was pretty embarrassing…”
“It’s fine, man, I don’t mind,” Kaito gave him a thumbs up and a grin. “My shoulders’ always here for my sidekick.”
Shuichi didn’t meet his eyes. “Yeah… Thanks, Kaito. I’ll see you tomorrow?”
“Alright!” His enthusiasm fell into the quiet corridor, creating an uneasy pause between them, before Shuichi turned to leave.
“Damn it– wait, Shuichi! I should be the one to know that communication is the most important thing in a team. Especially between friends.”
A breath caught in Shuichi’s throat. He waited for Kaito to continue, too nervous to reply, the heat of swirling emotions in his chest becoming sickly.
“So we should talk. Cuz you’re my best friend, and I wanna make sure everything’s good between us.”
“Everything’s fine.” His voice was quiet enough that Kaito almost missed it.
Kaito stepped towards him, concern on his face. “You sure?”
“Yeah. Why would anything be wrong?”
They held each other’s gaze for what felt like a minute. Kaito searched Shuichi for any hint of truth, for any reason he was keeping himself at a distance. Shuichi returned it with stubborn refusal. Kaito sighed.
“If you say so, then I trust you. I’m here for you if you need me, alright?”
Shuichi nodded, tearing his eyes away from the taller man. As soon as he figured out whatever he was feeling, he could talk to Kaito. For now…
“I had a lot of fun today, with you, and everyone else.”
“Yeah!” Kaito beamed, “It got kinda crazy, but hanging out with everyone was the best thing I could ask for. I’m, uh, really glad you had a good time.”
“Me too. Let’s do more stuff like that,” Shuichi mustered a smile to match Kaito’s.
“I’ll let you get some sleep. Message me if you need anything. See ya tomorrow for training!”
They parted ways - Shuichi spending the rest of the night thinking too hard, and Kaito going back to his room without facing the others. It snowed again during the night, but neither of them noticed.

Auston Matthews #5 - College Visits
Anon one: Hey! Could you do an Auston Matthew's or Mitch Marner imagine where he visits your college and just cuddles in the small dorm bed, goes to a college hockey game and gets noticed? Thank You!
Anon two: Auston Matthews imagine??
Hey y’all! Because the second one is very vague, I decided to combine it with the first prompt so I can kind of clean out my inbox. I hope you enjoy!!
College is … an experience. The seemingly endless string of new people you meet, the plethora of athletics and even the surprisingly interesting classes mean that you don’t really have much to complain about but still, it’s an experience. You’re also a RA, something that can sometimes be a lot of work but does mean you get your own room and free housing so again, not much to complain about.
Attending a college in a city with a hockey team is also a perk. It’s an environment you’re familiar with, that with your boyfriend being a hockey player. This means that he is occasionally in town and always tries to stop by. If you’re lucky, that game is the last one for a few days and he is able to stay for longer than just dinner.
This weekend is just that. Auston has a game on Friday and offered to get you tickets. You made him promise to not get too flashy of seats, your relationship was relatively low key and you didn’t need your friends asking how you afforded such expensive tickets.
On the night of the game, you arrange for Auston to meet you at a 24-hour diner near your dorm. It allows him to get something to eat and for you to hang out somewhere other than your cramped room.
The Leafs pull out a decisive victory which leaves you in a good mood despite the bitterness from the people around you.
“I didn’t realize you were such an intense hockey fan,” one of your friends comments.
“Not that intense,” you respond.
Your other friend pipes up, “you knew the whole roster’s fist and last name and shouted a lot about them making questionable plays.”
“No shame in getting into the game.”
“I guess not,” they laugh.
The three of you drive back to campus and they drop you off in front of your building. This gives you a bit of time to straighten up your room and charge your phone. You are hanging up some shirts from your laundry basket when your phone starts ringing.
“Hello?”
“I’m outside.”
“What?” you pull the phone away from your ear. “Auston?”
“Let me in, I’m outside.”
“Outside?”
“Your dorm. Babe, let me in.”
“I thought we were meeting at the diner?”
The connection cuts briefly as you enter the stairwell so you missed his response. You cut across the lobby towards the front door and sure enough, standing outside with a beanie pulled low is your boyfriend.
You push the door open, “are you coming in or are you just going to stand out there all night?”
He looks up and a smile breaks out across his face. He follows you inside and up to your room, crowding into your space as you try to unlock your door.
“Auston please, I have residents to set an example for.”
“There’s no one out here. Isn’t it ‘Thirsty Thursday’ after all?”
You get your door open and all but fall inside. He shuts the door and pulls you in for a searing kiss.
“What was that for?” you ask once you pull apart.
“I missed you.”
You wrap your arms around him and have no intention of letting go.
Auston is the one to pull away first. “Can’t let the food get cold.”
“Food?”
He holds up a brown paper bag that you hadn’t noticed before.
“I stopped off and got food on the way here. That way we don’t have to leave.”
You hop up on your bed and motion for him to join you. He climbs up and begins shuffling through the bag, passing over what he brought for you. The two of you sit in comfortable silence while you eat and just enjoy each other’s company. It is nearing 1:00 am when you finally start getting ready to sleep. Auston grabs a toothbrush from a small backpack he brought and you direct him towards the restroom down the hall. He returns to the room, laughing lightly.
“What is it?”
He takes a breath, “I think I scared one of your residents.”
“Auston what are you talking about?”
“I went to use the restroom and heard two guys come in right.”
“Ok?”
“And one of them started talking about the game.”
“Game? Your game?”
“Yes! Then he started talking shit about we shouldn’t have won and it was some kind of fluke,” Auston starts laughing again. “And then, in the middle of his rant I pull the stall door open and nod at him.”
“And..?”
“The one talking shit nods back and turns towards his friend, still talking shit and then all of a sudden stop, looks back at me and just is at a loss for words.”
You feel a smile start to form on your face.
“And I ask him to repeat the part about the win being a ‘fluke’ because it was hard to hear through the door. Then I left and came here.”
“You did not!”
He smiles smugly, “I did.”
You grab your own toothbrush and roll your eyes, “you’re ridiculous.” You leave your room and walk down the hall towards the bathroom. Sure enough, two of your male residents are standing at the sinks. One of them doesn’t seem to be moving.
“Are you alright Henry?”
Mark, his friend, elbows him when he doesn’t seem to hear your question.
Henry jerks, “huh? Oh, yeah. I’m fine.”
You look at Mark, “what’s going on?”
“He’s freaked because he was bad mouthing the Maple Leafs and then Auston Matthews came out of one of the stalls.”
“Auston Matthews? Like the professional hockey player.”
Mark nods.
“Are you sure? What would he be doing here?”
“I have no idea but this is the funniest shit to ever happen,” Mark turns to Henry. “Maybe you should shit talk Sidney Crosby next, I’d like to speak with him.”
You finish brushing your teeth and go back to your room. Auston is already in your bed and under the covers.
You climb up, “move over, you’re taking up all the room.”
“I’m pressed against the wall. I can’t go anywhere.”
You click the light off and let the room be swallowed in darkness.
“Do we have any plans this weekend?” Auston asks, breaking the silence.
“Not really, is there something you want to do.”
“Your men’s hockey team has a game tomorrow.”
“Is this your way of asking if we can go?”
You feel him nod next to you.
“Yeah we can go. What time?”
“3:30 pm.”
You glance at the clock on your bedside table, “sure. When do you want to get there?”
“Doesn’t matter, any time before it starts.”
“Alright, go to sleep.”
Not long after, you fall asleep, Auston’s arm a warm presence around your waist.
You wake up before he does and decide to repay the food favor by picking up breakfast. It’s late enough that it’s more like a lunch. When you get back to your room, Auston is scrolling through something on his phone. You hand the food to him and climb back into bed. You plan to savor the little time you have together.
The only hockey gear you have is whatever Maple Leafs merchandise Auston has given you which you have no intention of wearing to your collegiate game but just as you’re about to walk out, he passes over one of his sweatshirts which you take easily. It’s too large on you but incredibly comfortable. It’s just close enough to walk to the game and you arrive thirty minutes before the start. Auston picks the seats in the student section much to your dismay.
“You need to truly experience the game and who better with than your peers.”
You roll your eyes and follow him to some seats three rows back from the glass. It’s ten minutes until puck drop when the whispers start. A group about five seats away glances towards you and then turns to whisper amongst themselves.
You lean towards Auston, “looks like you’ve been spotted.”
“Hmm?”
You motion towards the group who are now openly staring at the two of you. Auston weaves his fingers through yours and looks towards the ice.
Thankfully the game begins and the group turns their attention to the ice. You do know a few guys on the team and start to get invested. Your team is up 1-0 at the end of the first period.
“Should I be worried about number eight?”
“Who? Jackson? Be worried?”
“You cheer for him a lot.”
“He was in my literature class and we’re good friends,” you find yourself getting defensive. “Besides lots of people cheer for you, should I be worried about the middle-aged men who constantly shout?”
Auston’s answering smirk gives away that he was just kidding and has you shoving him.
“Jerk,” you say affectionately.
The second period comes and goes without incident, your team added to their lead making it 2-0. During the third period though, is when the group from earlier seemed to gain some courage. A guy and a girl, neither of which did you recognize, get up and sit in front of you. You glance at Auston who squeezes your hand but continues to watch the game. The duo doesn’t say anything until the last two minutes of the game when the girl asks, “are you Auston Matthews?”
Auston’s eyes flick down to meet hers and a cautious smile appears on his face, “yep.”
“What’re you doing here?” she asks bluntly.
“Watching some hockey.”
You stifled a laugh and pretend to cough. The fake cough turns into a real cough and soon enough the whole section is looking at you.
Auston stands up, “you want some water? I’ll get you some water.” Before you can insist that you’re fine, he disappears towards the concession. The two in front of you leave not long after and return to their original seats.
The game ends in a win for your school and the team leads the fans in the school chant before skating towards the tunnel and going into the locker room. Auston texts that he is near the doors you had come in so you stand to meet him. He had a water bottle in his hands that he passes to you and pushes through the doors to go outside.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“Doesn’t sound like it.” You grab his hand.
His shoulders relax, “I’m okay, I promise. I feel like I was kind of a dick to those people but they were interrupting our time.”
“You’re not a dick; you’re allowed to want privacy. People need to respect that.”
He presses a kiss to your cheek, “I know somewhere we can go for privacy.”
“Hmm, do you now?”
“Yeah something about a single room.”
“Oh interesting, and how do you have access to a single room?”
“I know a guy.”
You laugh and let him tug you towards your building. Even though you don’t  have a lot of time together, you plan to make the best of it.

Merry Christmas Angels! 🎄💕
I wish all of you a peaceful and happy Christmas with your family and beloved ones and that you get to stuff your stomach with the most delicious Christmas roasts, cookies, gingerbreads and of course mulled wine hehe! (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
Tumblr media
I hope everyone will have a wonderful Christmas filled with a lot of joy and happiness and nice presents, after all all of you’ve been very good this year, right? (。•̀ᴗ-)✧
Hopefully none of you will have to work all night long on Christmas Eve just like me, but at least I get to see my sweet little brother’s smile on Christmas Day again because we will be watching my all time favourite Christmas movie “A Nightmare before Christmas” oh I just love this movie!
Tumblr media
Of course I haven’t forgotten about you, so as a little Christmas present from me, here are some Christmas headcanons on how Christmas would be celebrated in my citadel.. oh and trust me, there will be a lot of tears and chaos involved, because what’s a real Christmas without some chaotic mess right? ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ∗)
To end this on a sweet note: Merry Christmas to all of you angels out there and a Happy New Year, I love all of you and hope you have a jolly Christmas! ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭*
Tumblr media
This got quite lengthy again so under the cut as not to blow up your dashboard..
A long time ago in a certain citadel far, far away (my nerdy self couldn’t stop herself from including this smol Star Wars reference forgive me) certain Sword Warriors were preparing for the most important holiday ..
being your attendants for the day Tomoegata and Hasebe forced you to stay in your room while everyone else was buzzing around the citadel to prepare for the evening
‘Aruji, please leave the preparations for this festive event to the other Touken Danshi. Your only task for today is to relax until tonight.’
even though you were more than thankful for this offer you couldn’t help but worry a little knowing them all too well 
… and rightly so because getting to celebrate a peaceful Merry Christmas in your Citadel? Dream on it’s more like a Merry Crisis
when the evening broke on they finally allowed you to leave your room and led you down the dining hall where a festival of dazzling lights and a Christmas Banner spelling something like ‘Marri Kurismas’ was awaiting you
your heart nearly lept out of your chest when everyone rushed forward and scream-yelled ‘MERRY CHRISTMAS ARUJI!’ at you
‘You did all of this for me? Oh my –thank you so much - everyone– I – just - Merry Christmas to you as well!’
you were nearly crying of joy when you realized just how much effort everyone must have put in decorating the Citadel for you
‘How much trouble did all of you went through to prepare this for me?’
Swelling with pride Hasebe grandiloquently waved your worries away ‘It really wasn’t that much trouble’ 
cue angry stares from everyone else and a more than grumpy Oodenta whispering ‘Yeah well not for you Mr. Loudmouth’ under his breath
now let’s rewind to the morning of Christmas Eve and what was happening while you were cooped up in your room wrapping your Christmas presents for everyone
let’s go back to the first crime scene: The Kitchen
it was quite obvious but calling the kitchen a chaotic mess was way understated
chocolate frosting and powder sugar was splattered everywhere but on the cookies (meaning on everyone’s faces)
Souza and Kousetsu were tasked with baking and cutting out cookies and Sayo decorates the most delicate and beautiful snowflake, flower and tanuki cookies fight me on this
Tumblr media
Azuki was smitten with this tradition from the start, because now he could give everyone sweets and mother them to his hearts content and went into full sweets-making-mode while Kenshin was eagerly buzzing around him
being the Citadel’s own Grinch Ookurikara tried to escape just on the mentioning of another celebration but got hold back by a dangerously smiling Shokudaikiri who was holding a dough roll like a battle axe 
‘Kara-chan of course you’ll help too, will you?’ 😇 😇 😇
Translation: ‘Get in the fuck*ng Christmas spirit or I’ll cut you down’ 
Micchan vs. Kara-chan 1:0
cursing under his breath he and Yamanbagiri were tasked with hanging up the fairy lights 
which brings us to the second crime scene: The Dining Hall
poor men just wanted to be left alone but instead had to help hanging up chain of lights and garlands while some drunk on eggnog Fudou, Nihongou and Jiroutachi were singing some very disturbing Christmas canons they had composed themselves
cue Yamanbagiri muttering to himself: ‘Maybe I should hang myself instead of these Christmas lights’
bby no 
‘Even though I’m somewhat renowned as a sword who can cut through ghosts I’d rather not have to cut down your vengeful spirit on this festive occasion’ Nikkari was laughing cheerfully at him while reading ‘A Christmas Carol’ to Akita and Kenshin
way to get in the Christmas spirit darling
bigger swords like Tonbokiri, Oodenta, Otegine and Hachisuka were tasked with logging a fine Christmas tree and mistletoes in the woods (’Really? You’re making an original Kousetsu like me do something unspiritual like that?’)
If you’re asking what Jiji was doing then I can tell you that this lazy old man was sitting far away from the hustle and bustle and got himself pampered and entertained by Kogitsunemaru and Shishou
man just because you’re old doesn’t mean you can just ditch work to everyone else
i’m just kidding i love them very much and it’s probably good that Jiji wasn’t helping he’d probably just be in the way anyway lol
as usual Gokotais tiger cubs had escaped again and were leaving flour footprints everywhere, cue Ishikirimaru running like a madman to clean up behind them while poor Gokotai was bawling his eyes out again
they even left some on Kuniyuki’s face when they trampled over him but that lazy bastard was so busy sleeping he didn’t even mind that (how can anyone be so lazy, honestly? i am so in love)
meanwhile Kasen was in his room trying to write an elegant and refined Christmas banner but just couldn’t remember what this festivity was called like
‘Marri Kurismas. Yes yes, that’s what it was called like I’m sure of it!’ (almost honey, almost..)
after the Christmas tree had been installed in the dining hall (it only took 15 attempts to even get it inside and that one time where Kane-san and Mutsu nearly got buried under the tree because they were bickering who was stronger again) the Toushirous, Monoyoshi, Hyuuga, Aizen and Hotarumaru were decorating the tree with self-made ornaments out of little gems, shells, pie cones and candles
Ichigo and Yagen carrying every Tantou on their skinny shoulders through the whole citadel so they could hang up ornaments everywhere, can we agree on that?
they’re the best brothers in the world i’m sobbing why are they so perfect? 
in the meantime busy bees Horikawa and Urashima were running around and motivating everyone by serving Hot Chocolate whenever someone seemed tired out (these boys are angels guys, angels)
Namazuo and Honebami doing a leg-up so Honebami can be the one to put the star on the Christmas tree.. yeah that’s the kind of imagines I’m living for
Tumblr media
sounds wonderful doesn’t it?
well it nearly ended in bloodshed when Tsurumaru and Taikogane who were throwing snowballs at each other nearly knocked down the Christmas tree the children had lovingly decorated
which leads us to crime scene number three: The Garden
unlike Germany for the last 10 years your Citadel had been blessed with a white Christmas and the Garden and roofs were covered up with a beautifully glistening blanket of snow
and what could be better than having a real snow fight and go sledding right?
since Tsurumaru got banned from helping he immediately had the glorious idea of having a snowball war in the garden
Tsurumaru, Sada-chan, Aizen, Hotarumaru, Koryuu were on one side while Kashuu, Yams, Yamabushi, Iwatooshi and Imanotsurugi were on the other team
and there were only some minor casualties like the snowball that flew right into Hasebe’s face when he was screaming out of your window
whoopsie  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
run guys.. run as fast as you can, leave the country, get yourself a new identity but RUN 
.. yeah no big trouble at all ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ∗)
back to Christmas Eve and handing out of presents
You had knitted everyone something warm like gloves and scarfs and little beanies for the Tantous so they wouldn’t get a cold when they have to battle in winter, and even stitched everyone’s crests on their scarfs
let’s skip the tearful and cheesy speeches of thanks everyone was throwing alright?
well but one moment was worth mentioning, and that is Hizamaru crying over Higekiri giving him a present even though he wrote his name wrong on the gift tag cue Iwatooshi patting both of them on their back ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ∗)
at least he tried
of course Micchan surpassed himself by light years and made you the most beautiful yule log you’ve ever seen 
(my self indulgence is showing I’m sorry angels)
Tumblr media
“You told me this was the season of giving your loved ones gifts right? So I hope you’re going to enjoy this I tried to make it based on your desciptions but it may not be sweet enough .. though nothing could be as sweet as you anyway.’
geez save the cheesy lines for someone else
I’M JUST KIDDING MARRY ME MARRY ME MARRY ME
maybe Touken Danshi aren’t the best at celebrating Christmas but they always have good intentions and it became a happy Christmas with a lot of laughter (and eggnog) because being with your loved ones is the most important thing on Christmas after all
..but wait, who’s going the wash the dishes ok i’m outta here ~
I hope you enjoyed it and Merry Christmas angels! (*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡
