Part 2 of Eddie Making Jewelry For Steve; Part 1 here / Part 3 here / Part 4 here
Steve had figured it out after the second little box that was left on the Family Video counter.
He didn’t see Eddie leave it, he was too involved in his conversation with Robin that happened to be about his panic surrounding Eddie.
See the thing is, he knew there were bisexual people and he knew he liked men for years.
But saying it outloud and falling for his best friend? Well, that was a whole other thing.
The way Steve figured it out was the handwriting on the little notes. It felt a little crazy comparing his Family Video card paperwork to the notes, but Robin was the one who suggested it.
Eddie looped his lowercase Es tightly, to the point they almost looked like Cs. And his Is were always lowercase with a circle instead of a dot.
It really just had to be him leaving the beautiful pieces that made Steve’s heart melt and his stomach fall out his ass. Although, he still had his doubts. There was no way his dream guy was just being that fucking perfect, that wasn’t usually how Steve’s life went.
But oh god did he sure have hope.
Steve thought he was being obvious that he knew, wearing the ring that he had fallen in love with in front of Eddie. He even fidgeted with it and caught Eddie staring at it before the other man quickly looked away.
He couldn’t help but tear up in the Beamer after the outing, asking Robin for advice only resulted in drunken living room karaoke, not a plan.
Steve tried to ask where he got his pieces once so maybe him and Robin could run surveillance like old times, but Eddie ended up being vague and elusive.
When Steve brought Nancy into the secret op, she suggested a stake out which felt like stalking. She started a board with dates and drop off locations and roughly estimated it was every 2-4 weeks on dates Steve was usually busy.
It was coming up on almost a month since the last drop and Steve was practically showing off with the last chain, making sure his polo was just open at top enough for Eddie to see.
The flushing across Eddie’s cheeks into his chest was everything, but still his metalhead said nothing.
It was time for Nancy’s plan.
Steve dropped days he’d be busy, watching as Eddie seemingly made a mental note of them. His feigned disappointment was shaky, Steve hoping he’d just blurt it out without confrontation.
But alas, nothing.
Nancy put on her ‘undercover journalism best’ aka a literally just a black sweater and black pants, borrowing her parents car instead of using her own. And I’m that moment Steve felt—
“Am I crazy? Is this whole thing crazy?” Steve paces the Family Video aisles between romance and comedy, which felt pretty fitting considering his love life was a joke.
Robin places a hand on his shoulder and gives him that all encompassing look between the fact that she thinks it’s completely sane, but also really fucking crazy.
“You want to know for sure, right? Not just the handwriting or little weird glances?”
Steve sighs and then nods slowly, he really did want to know for sure. But the problem is what came after.
“Okay then, we’ll just see what Nancy says then hmm? For all we know it could be a boring—“
As if on cue, the walkie they stole from the kids crackles.
“Steve—it’s for sure him, he just—“
“HE JUST WHAT?! WE NEED ANSWERS WHEELER,” Robin shouts into the speaker before Nancy can even finish, Steve grabs the walk-in out of her hand with a scoff.
“Say sorry to your eardrums for her Nance— so wait, what happened?” Steve tries to shove down his nerves, but his fingers on the device tremble.
“He leave something in your mailbox, do you want me to—“
“Steve, GO!”
He really needs to teach her what an inside voice is.
“Are you—“
“I’ll cover you, if Keith comes back I’ll—I’ll make up a dead aunt or say you ripped your pants, I don’t know! I’m not good under pressure, you know how I get Steve. Goddamnit, just go before I start rambling!”
Steve nods and handing her the walkie, running out the door. He knows he breaks the speed limit on the way home, knows if he gets pulled over he can just use the Hopper card. He normally wouldn’t, but extreme times and all that.
Nancy is pulled into the drive when he gets there, popping out when she sees him pull up next to the mailbox.
“Hey I wanted to stay, for you know, support,” she says with a small smile, seeming to enjoy this all way too much.
“Nance, you didn’t have to—“
“Yes I did, Steve. Now fucking open it before me and Robs burst a blood vessel.”
Steve nervously chuckles, his fingers twitching on the mailbox door before pulling it down to a little red box.
‘Stevie, something different,’ is all it reads.
He shares a glance with Nancy, before pulling it out.

cee cee i have an idea!!! what about Cool and Cultured bookshop owner! tae and dorky y/n walking past the store everyday and one day goes in and strikes a conversation about a fancy book like catcher in the rye and talks about the symbolism of rye in the book and tae's like :0 das wildly inaccurate but you're kinda cute so here's my number so we can talk more about rye and y/ns like :0
Tumblr media
➺ pairing; kim taehyung x reader
➺ genre; wowowow handsome & well-read bookkeeper!taehyung, fluff!!!! the kind of fluff that makes you feel like you’re wrapped up in a warm blanket sipping on a mug of hot chocolate on a nice autumn’s day when the leaves are just starting to turn red and orange, y/n’s kind of a dummy but in a very loveable kind of way, featuring namjoon the (sort of) wingman
➺ wordcount; 6.2k
➺ summary; the catcher in the rye? oh, sure - of course you know that book! it’s about catching loaves of bread, right?
➺ what to expect; “i called it catch her in the eye, joon.”
➺ note; our (first??) drabble of the month as voted by you guys! i finished writing this the day after it was decided that bookkeeper!tae was the winner because that’s how excited i was about him >:-) enjoy! 
                                        »»————- ➴ ————-««
“and… open your eyes!” you exclaim, throwing your arms up into the air excitedly as namjoon takes his hands away from his eyes
he blinks owlishly before looking up and-
“you brought me to a bookstore!” he gasps, a smile immediately spreading over his features as he claps his hands together, “oh, this is great! usually, you bring me to those awful rock-climbing places, or that horribly violent paintball gun place, and even when you brought me to the movie theatre the tickets were for that gory r-rated horror movie-”
“okay, let’s not get carried away-” you hold a finger out to shut namjoon up before he can list out moRe reasons as to why you seem more like you hate him instead of love him, “the point is: this time, i brought you to a bookstore!” you smile proudly before crossing your arms
not to toot your own horn or anything but you did a pretty good job with this surprise
you even did tons of research to find the best bookstores in the city!!
which was difficult because namjoon’s been to like.,,. EVERY bookstore in the city
but not this one!
to be fair, it was a long forty-five minute car ride to get here so you understand why he’s never come out here himself
“…this isn’t like… a weird bookstore or anything, right?” namjoon narrows his eyes in suspicion before taking a step back and looking up at the name of the store again
the secret garden
oh!!!!
like the book!!!!
how clever :D
“what do you mean?” you frown, placing your hands on your hips before glancing back up at the name as well
the secret garden
hm
kind of a lame name for a bookstore
“like a…” namjoon trails off before clearing his throat, “you know, like a bookstore that’s actually a sex dungeon or something like that-”
“ew!” you immediately make a face before shaking your head quickly, “wha- why would you even say that?!”
“well, i don’t know!” namjoon holds his hands up in defence, “i’ve never been to this bookstore before-!”
“this is a regular ol’ bookstore, joon. i promise!” you clap your hands on his shoulders before giving him a squeeze, “just the way you like it! old, dusty, and full of nothing but boring books.”
namjoon beams
that’s exactly what he likes to hear
see, today is your seven year friendaversary with namjoon
you guys have known each other since middle school and noW the two of you are in your final year of university which is crazy
and so, for the past seven years, you’ve gone out on this day to celebrate your beautiful friendship because honestly you’ll take whatever excuse to go to a restaurant to try to get free dessert (“yeah, we’re celebrating our anniversary! so, i’ll take three orders of your chocolate lava cake-”)
you guys usually take turns where one year one of you will plan an entire day of fun activities for the other, and then the next year, the other person will do it because that seems like a relatively fair system
last year, namjoon took you to this cute pottery place and you ended up making these adorable matching friendship mugs
they’re both a little lopsided but that’s just part of their charm!!
namjoon painted his a beige-brown and you painted yours a BRIGHT purple and then you traded mugs (so that when he comes over to your apartment, he has his mug, and when you go over to his apartment, you have your mug!)
he also insisted that you guys carve your guys’ initials on the bottom of yours and draw a heart around it which you thought was a little much but you are… very fond of namjoon so you’d jump off a cliff if he asked you to
admittedly, most of the things that you’ve planned during your years have been catered to your own personal desires so you’ve been a little unfair but namjoon’s always been too much of a sweetheart to say anything about it
and for the most part, he’s a pretty good sport even though it’s blatantly obvious that he’d rather chop a toe off than spend the afternoon doing your chosen activity
the last time it was your turn two years ago, you took him to a go-cart track and spent the entire two hours practically driving circles around him because he was driving like ten kilometres an hour
the only reason why he wasn’t driving like one is supposed to drive on a go-cart track (i.e. like a maniac) is because he was worried that if he went too fast he’d get a ticket or something
and kim namjoon does not get speeding tickets
not on the real road and most certainly not on a man-made road either!
for the record, he definitely didn’t appreciate you calling him a slowpoke and telling him to eat my dust, bitch! and he still brings it up from time to time whenever he wants to guilt you into doing something with him (“i’m not switching muffins with you. it’s not my fault you don’t like yours!” “…hey, remember that time you called me a slowpoke and told me to-”  “take the muffin.”)
anyways
he’s glad that this is just a normal bookstore and that he doesn’t have to worry about whether or not one of your activities is going to end in him losing a limb for the first time
what a wonderful way to end the day!!
actually, you guys still have to grab dinner after this where you’ll try to squeeze as many free desserts out of the restaurant as possible as per usual so this is a wonderful way to almost end the day
the little bell hanging above the door chimes as the two of you step in and almost immediately you’re greeted with the warm smell of what you’re pretty sure is hot chocolate??
“i love this place already.” namjoon breathes out, his jaw dropping in awe, “i wanna live here!”
“okay, keep it in your pants-” the door starts to shut and you nudge namjoon forward to keep from getting your butt nipped by the door
you don’t even get a chance to say anything else before namjoon suddenly darts off
so much for keeping it in his pants
you pause when you get a good look at the place
huh
for some reason you feel like a lot of instagram pictures have been taken here
it’s obviously an antique place but it’s like one of those trendy antique places
a brass chandelier hangs from the ceiling, the (fake) candles casting a golden glow over the entire store
there’s a spiral staircase that curls up to the second floor
the walls are covered with floor to ceiling shelves stacked with, duh, books, but even for what you thought would just be a dusty old bookstore… it’s pretty nice in here!
there’s even an archway in the centre of the place that leads to what looks like a pretty cozy reading space for customers which is a nice touch
and there are people sipping on mugs of hot chocolate too!!!
you can’t help but wonder if you need to be reading a book in order to get a mug of cocoa
you like the hot chocolate part but you’re not as excited about the reading part
“y/n, come on!” you look over to see namjoon - who already has three books cradled in his arms - waving you over enthusiastically, “check it out! it’s a vintage boxed set of the chronicle of narnia series! and they’re leatherbound-“ he practically moans before nudging you towards it, “help me take it out?”
“narnia?” you snort, tilting your head so you can look at the titles pressed into the spine of the book, “isn’t narnia, like… for kids?”
the last time you read the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe was when you had to read it for a book report in like the fourth grade
you glance over your shoulder to look at namjoon who now has an unimpressed frown on his face
“what??”
“…you insult me.” he sniffles, “just help!”
you roll your eyes playfully before turning back to pull the thick set out of the shelf and-
“hello!”
“-!”
the sudden sound of a stranger’s voice nearly makes you drop the set but you manage to prop the edge of the box back up onto the shelf before it falls and breaks all the bones in your foot
you turn to look at whoever-
oh my
hello indeed
“welcome to the secret garden.” he smiles kindly, tilting his head at you, “did you need any help with that, miss?”
oh good god
his voice makes you feel like you’re wading through a river of warm caramel
and you’d happily let yourself drown in that river
two seconds go by where you don’t respond at all and instead you continue staring at mr. caramel with very obvious hubba-hubba eyes
“i think we’re good, thank you!” namjoon clears his throat, elbowing your back gently before offering a smile of his own
“oh, alright! well, my name’s taehyung,” taehyung reaches up to adjust his glasses, “please let me know if you need assistance of any kind - i’ll just be up at the front. if you’re just here to relax and read, i’d be happy to whip up two mugs of hot chocolate for the two of you!”
“awesome! thank you.” namjoon nods all while you continue smiling at taehyung dazedly
he waits until taehyung disappears before turning back and looking at you
“…what’s wrong with you?”
“i’m good, thank you…” you whisper your very delayed response and namjoon moves his head so that he’s blocking your view when you lean back a little to try to look at taehyung sitting behind the front counter, “holy moly. i’d let him explore my secret garden-”
“oh, now look who can’t keep it in their pants-“
“hey, you should look at this as a good thing!” you grunt as you adjust the hefty box in your arms, “now i’ll willingly drive you back here… whenever you want.”
namjoon’s eyes immediately light up
                                         »»————- ➴ ————-««
you and namjoon end up returning to the bookstore about two weeks later
last time, namjoon wanted to stay longer (and so did you, honestly) buT you were pretty close to losing your dinner reservations and you weren’t about to give up your free chocolate lava cake just to stare at the cute bookkeeper from afar like a creep
so you had to leave!
namjoon ended up leaving with the boxed set and a couple other books so suffice to say, he was pretty happy
and when you suggested visiting the bookstore again this week… well, namjoon had to jump on that opportunity, didn’t he??
you?? offering to take him to a bookstore?? again??
you’re obviously only using him as an excuse to go into the bookstore so you can spend hours watching taehyung like a weirdo but he’ll take it
namjoon hums happily as he takes a sip of his hot chocolate before licking a little bit of whipped cream off his top lip
he wonders if taehyung would be willing to share the recipe to it because this is honestly the best hot chocolate he’s ever had
namjoon looks up from his book when he hears you let out a sigh for the tenth time in the last two minutes
oh god
look at you!
“oh… and he’s good with kids, too?” you sigh blissfully as you prop your elbow up on the arm of the sofa chair before leaning your cheek against your fist
you watch fondly as taehyung gets down on one knee, holding two fists out for a little girl
she taps his right hand shyly before quickly wrapping her arms back around her mom’s leg, peeking at him from behind it shyly 
taehyung flips his wrist around and uncurls his fingers to reveal a single caramel, his face lighting up briefly as she takes it from his open palm into her little hand 
“i don’t know why you can’t just go up and talk to him-” namjoon snorts at how lovestruck you look before peering around the corner of the archway to look at taehyung too, “it’s not a big deal. he’s really nice!”
“i can’t just go up and talk to him. are you kidding me?” you frown, shaking your head, “what am i supposed to say??”
“tell him you need help finding a book!” namjoon states as if it’s the most obvious thing in the entire world (because it is) before slapping the book on his lap shut, “just out of curiosity - what book would you ask him to help you find?”
you lean back against the sofa chair before twisting your lips in thought
hm
book?
what book…
what was the last book you read…?
ooh!
“esio trot!” you perk up, namjoon’s eyebrows knitting together in confusion because he has no idea what just came out of your mouth-
“esio- oh my god, esio trot as in the roald dahl children’s novel??” namjoon frowns, “no! you can’t go up to taehyung and ask him to help you find esio friggin’ trot-”
“okay, you don’t see me making fun of you for buying what you bought last week, mr. chronicles of narnia-”
“you did make fun of me!” namjoon gawks, “in fact, you’re still making fun of me for it-” he waves his hand to cease the conversation, “listen to me. from the very few times that i’ve spoken to taehyung, it’s clear that he’s… cultured, you know?”
“cultured… like yogurt.” you joke, slapping your own knee gently, “get it?? because yogurt is cultured? cultured yogurt??”
namjoon resists the urge to roll his eyes
see?
this is exactly what he’s talking about
“…yes, y/n. i get it. anyways, as i was saying- taehyung is just very…” namjoon kisses his teeth as he tries to think of how to phrase his words, “…well-read… intelligent… scholarly… refined…”
you tilt your head in curiosity as namjoon continues listing out a bunch of snooty sounding adjectives
wait a minute
“are you-” you scoff, straightening up in your seat, “are you calling me dumb??”
hey!!
you’re not dumb!!!
it’s not like books are super complicated to figure out or anything
all you have to do is read what’s inside of it and you certainly know how to read!!!
and sure, sometimes you still don’t know if receive is spelt receive or recieve or if business is spelt buisness or biusness, but that doesn’t mean that you’re dumb!!
“no, no, i’m not calling you dumb!” namjoon shakes his head quickly, “i’m just saying that if you had a choice, you would choose a movie over a book-”
“well, yeah - obviously i would choose a movie over a book.” you snort, “why would i waste eight hours reading tiny little words on stiff white pages when i could be watching a movie that compresses the entire story in a convenient one hour and a half??”
“i’m your friend, and i don’t want to watch you make a fool of yourself!” namjoon argues, “because if you do, then you’ll be too embarrassed to ever come back here again, which means that i’ll never be able to come back here again-”
“what’s stopping you from coming here by yourself?”
“because every time i tell you that i’m going to the bookstore, you’re going to ask me a bunch of taehyung related questions when i get back-”
okay
that’s a fair point
that sounds like something you would do for sure
“alright, fine!” you huff before crossing your arms, “what book do you suggest i go up there and ask him to help me find?”
namjoon twists his lips in thought
hm…
“catch her in the eye!” you chirp, folding your hands behind you book as you smile brightly at taehyung
namjoon feels his own face flush at how confidently you just said that and he immediately slaps a hand over his mouth to keep himself from screaMING
he told you to ask taehyung to help you find the catcher in the rye
NOT CATCH HER IN THE EYE
“the catcher in the rye?” taehyung nods, “sure! of course i can help you find the catcher in the rye.” he returns a smile as he steps out from behind the counter, “follow me, please!”
you shoot namjoon a big thumbs up and a faT grin as you pass by the entrance of the archway and he gives you a weak one in return before turning back and slumping against the couch
oh boy
…he’s never going to come back to this beautiful bookstore, is he?
“you were here about two weeks ago, weren’t you?” taehyung asks as he looks over his shoulder, the two of you trotting up the spiral staircase, “with your… boyfriend, right? you guys bought the boxed narnia set.”
“hm? oh!” you let out a little laugh, “yes, that was us, but joon- namjoon’s just my friend. um, that day was actually our seven-year friendaversary and he’s a real dork for books so i thought it’d be nice to bring him here-”
it’s in that moment that you suddenly hear namjoon’s voice in your head reminding you that you’re supposed to act like yoU like reading too
“i mean-” you clear your throat, “i, too, really like books, so i- you know, it was a mutually pleasant experience for the both of us t-to be here-” you chuckle nervously
hopefully you were able to save your own ass there
that was a close call!!
you trail behind taehyung as the two of you weave in and out of the bookshelves
you didn’t get a chance to come up to the second floor last week
but it’s surprisingly nice up here!!  
there’s a lone sofa chair in the corner with a little coffee table sitting next to it
very nice for customers who prefer to read alone
“ah, well, that’s very thoughtful of you!” taehyung nods before suddenly pausing, “i’m so sorry-” he spins around and you nearly bump into his chest but you manage to stop yourself just in time, “i just realised i never got your name.”
“y/n. i’m- i’m y/n.” you stick your hand out quickly for him to shake
you feel a little zap! travel from your fingertips to the rest of your body as soon as taehyung takes your hand in his
he gives you a gentle shake before squeezing your hand lightly and then letting go, “well, it’s very nice to meet you, y/n. now, give me a second to find the catcher in the rye for you…”
taehyung turns to thumb through the books on the shelf and you feel your heart flutter in your chest as how pretty he looks from the side
wowie
you can’t help but take your bottom lip in between your teeth as you continue to admire taehyung’s features from the soft swoosh of his hair to the rosy pink of his lips
how can one man be so pretty?
“ah- here we are!” taehyung pulls a book out of the shelf and you quickly snap yourself out of your daze, “the catcher in the rye… a novel by j.d. salinger.” he hands it to you and you take it before blinking down at the cover
…the catcher in the rye?
what happened to catch her in the eye???
“it’s a great book.” taehyung hums, “have you read it before?”
“oh, i… i have!” you scoff, making a face, “duh, of course i have. i mean, it’s… you know, it’s such a… um, a powerful novel…” you clear your throat before reaching up to scratch the back of your neck, “i mean, the last time i read it was actually in… high school… so… you know, i’ve forgotten most of the details but i figured it’d be nice to get a refresher, you know?”
(you never read this in high school.)
((you just made namjoon summarise the entire book to you in the form of a poorly drawn stickman comic and even then you still didn’t fully understand the story.))
“absolutely! there’s nothing wrong with revisiting old friend from the past,” taehyung chuckles lightly, “in fact, i was reading animal farm the other day- what kind of literature do you typically read?”
you press your lips together tightly
oh god
namjoon didn’t prepare you for additional questions  
literature??
quick!
what kind of literature do you typically read??
tell him you read all kinds of literature!
that sounds like a legitimate answer, right?
“i... read… all-”
you’re cut off by the sound of a bell chiming from below and you let out a breath of relief when taehyung scurries past you to peer over the balcony
“i’ll be right there!” he holds a finger up at the customer waiting by the front counter before spinning around to face you again, “was there anything else you needed, y/n?”
“wha- i-” you stammer, unable to come up with a non-creepy reason to keep him up here with you, “no! no, this was-” you give the front cover a hearty slap, “this was all i needed-”
“perfect!” taehyung claps his hands together, “well, let me know. you know where i am!”  
he disappears down the staircase before you even get a chance to thank him
the smell of his cologne lingers in the air as you make your way down the staircase and you can’t help but beat yourself up over how your interaction with taehyung went
it wasn’t a bad interaction or anything
in fact, you think you did a pretty good job at acting like a bookworm!!
it’s just that…
you don’t think it was a particularly memorable interaction for taehyung
that was just a typical customer interaction for him
you were supposed to charm him!!!
impress him!!
sweep him off his feet!!!
tickle his brain!!
“hey, buddy…” namjoon coos as you plop back down on the sofa chair, “how… did it go?”
he’s afraid to hear your answer because it certainly looks like it didn’t go super well
damnit
he knows this moment is about you but now he’s thinking about how he’ll probably never be able to taste this delicious hot chocolate ever again
“got the book.” you grumble, tossing it onto the coffee table before shaking your head, “i called it catch her in the eye, joon.”
“yeah, i… uh, i heard you.” namjoon nods understandingly, crossing one leg over the other before leaning back against the couch, “i don’t think he heard you say that, though! i mean, he knew what you were looking for right away.”
namjoon knows you well enough to see that you’re currently spiralling down a self-pity hole right now
oh boy
“hey, you know what’ll make you feel better?” he leans forward to give your knee a comforting squeeze
“what?”
“how about i buy this for you so you can read it and fully impress taehyung next time with your newfound knowledge-“ namjoon points to the book you’ve abandoned on the table, “and then we can go for chocolate lava cake!”
your eyes widen slightly
“free chocolate lava cake?”
“no, not free-“ namjoon snorts, getting up from the couch before reaching back to pick up his bag, “i mean, i’ll pay for it. my treat! so, yeah. i guess it’s kinda free for you.”
“that sounds nice!” your frown is almost instantaneously replaced by a grin, “if i get more free things from you just for being sad, i’m going to be sad more often-”
“what?? no! do not pretend to be sad just to get me to pay for things-”
taehyung glances over from the front counter when he hears a twinkly laugh and he can’t help but smile lightly at the sight of you giggling away in the sofa chair
your nose scrunches slightly as you let out a little snort and he presses his lips together to keep himself from beaming too wide
y/n, huh? cute.
                                          »»————- ➴ ————-««
(taehyung can’t stop thinking about you and your absurdly cute face.)
                                         »»————- ➴ ————-««
it’s another two weeks later that you come back to the secret garden - but this time, you come alone.
and to be honest, you… don’t know if this was a good idea or not
because joon was with you for the last two times and you were definitely using him as a security blanket so now you feel like you’re about to dive into the deep end of the pool without any floaties
you were going to ask if he wanted to come with you but you felt like this was something that you had to do alone
you swallow thickly as you tuck your car keys into your pocket
namjoon can’t be your bookworm wingman forever, right?
the store is almost suspiciously quiet as you step in, the little bell ringing above your head as per usual
your classes ended a little later today which is why you weren’t able to come in the afternoon
pluS you had to find a way to get namjoon to go home without you without raising any eyebrows so that sucked up a little more of your time
you were going to tell him that you were going to stay on campus to study at the library but even you couldn’t believe that
so you told him that you had a group project to work on which was why you couldn’t have dinner with him tonight!
you jump in surprise when the door suddenly slams shut behind you from the breeze
it’s a little chillier now that it’s november but it’s nice that you get to wear cozy cardigans and snuggly sweaters now
“i’ll be right there!”
you hear taehyung’s voice ring out from the second floor and you swallow your nerves as you stand up a little straighter
fake it till you make it, right?
i love books
i love books so much
i love books so much that i would fuck a book if i could!
...okay, maybe not that one.
you glance around the store - there doesn’t seem to be anyone else here
which makes sense because the sign says that the store closes at 7pm on weekdays and it’s…
6:50
wow
so you’RE the asshole who comes into the place ten minutes before closing time
good one!
“so sorry for the wait, i was just-” taehyung pauses on the steps, his face immediately lighting up when he sees you, “oh, y/n!”
“hi!” you chirp before reaching up to scratch the back of your neck, “sorry i came ten minutes before you’re supposed to close… i wanted to come earlier, but i had a thing…”
“oh, don’t even worry about it!” taehyung snorts, tossing the dirty rag over his shoulder, “i was just doing some dusting…”
you feel your mouth go drY as soon as you notice what he’s wearing
he’s wearing a henley tee (except all the buttons are undone and aLso he has his sleeves pushed up to his elbows), dark wash jeans, and a pair of tattered black converse sneakers
it’s just the casualness of it all that makes it so sexy
“so, what can i help you with tonight?” taehyung tosses the rag onto the counter before pushing his glasses back down from the top of his head
he adjusts them slightly before blinking at you and you find it awfully cute that his doe eyes now look a little bigger through the thick lenses
what can he help you with tonight?
…yeah, what can he help you with tonight?
the downside of not telling namjoon about your solo mission is the fact that namjoon’s usually the one who plans every little detail out for you
and you just came here on a whim
you don’t have a plan
you don’t have a plan at all!
your plan was to just come to the bookstore to see taehyung because you wanted to see taehyung
“i…”
“oh, by the way-” taehyung perks up suddenly, “how was your little trip down memory lane with the catcher in the rye?”
the catcher in the rye?
the catcher in the rye!!!
ah! yes!!
that’s definitely something to talk about!
…wait a second
you-
you didn’t read the book
oh god
you had two weeks to read the book and you didn’t read the book
almost immediately you feel your anxiety sPike back up and you can’t help but scold yourself for not bringing namjoon along with you
if namjoon was here, you’d just get him to say all the main points and you’d stand right next to him throwing in the occasional ‘yes, very good point!’ and ‘of course, i completely agree’ every now and then!
“the catcher in the rye!” you blurt out, suddenly aware that you haven’t spoken in like ten seconds, “i- yes! the book was- it was great. i thoroughly enjoyed it. i would definitely read it again!”
“hey, that’s great!” taehyung laughs lightly, “you know- i mean, i have to ask because i always ask this question to people who’ve read it- what do you think the main theme of it is?” taehyung hums, “because i’ve always thought it focused a lot on alienation, you know? i mean, a loss of innocence is obviously another theme, what, with holden wanting to be sheltered from the harshness of adult life- i really think it can actually be seen as some kind of social commentary… like a critique of the superficiality in society-”
“of course, i completely agree!” you nod furiously, “those are very good points-”
“i’m sorry, i’m probably sucking up all the oxygen in the room-” taehyung smiles sheepishly before shoving his hands into the pockets of his jeans, “so what do you think?”
if there was ever a moment for a black hole to appear in the floor and swallow you whole… you’d want for it to happen right now.
actually, you’d want it for it to happen whilst you were driving to the bookstore so that you wouldn’t have even gotten the chance to say hi to taehyung
“i think… well, i… first of all, i agree completely with everything that you just said about aliens and… you know, a loss of innocence and how hard adult life is…” you stumble over your words, your face beginning to flush from how idiotic you probably sound, “i just… i have to talk about my favourite part in the book! you know, the part where holden- holden, that’s the name that you just mentioned- he… he does such a great job at catching those loaves of bread. i thought that part was hilarious.”
you clear your throat at the end of your mini-review
taehyung’s eyes flicker slightly and for a second you think you’re in danger of being called out for obviously noT having read the book but…
he nods slowly and brings his hand up to stroke his chin thoughtfully, “i mean… yeah. i completely agree! that part always gets me! why don’t you go on? i’m interested in hearing more of your thoughts.”  
oh
oh!
hey, would you look at that??
phEW
maybe you’re better at improvising than you thought you were
now knowing that you’re on the right track gives you a booST of confidence and you give yourself a mental pat on the back
you can’t wait to tell namjoon about this
he’s going to be so proud of you!!
you grin before nodding enthusiastically, “of course! i have a lot of thoughts to share on the book. i mean, i personally think it was an interesting choice on the author’s part to choose rye as the main ingredient, because he had… so many other options that he could’ve gone with! and also - did he go with light rye or dark rye?? because throughout the entire novel, he never actually specifies what kind of rye bread he’s referring to-”
taehyung leans back against the counter and crosses his arms, smiling politely as he continues to listen to your rye bread rant
it’s obvious that you definitely didn’t read the book but he was genuinely curious as to what you would be able to pull out of your ass which was why he asked you to go on
he doesn’t think anyone’s ever gone into a full-blown ramble about how the catcher in the rye is actually a narrative on the benefits on rye bread for lil ol’ him before
but, for the record… 
it’s really cute how much effort you’re putting into your analysis to try to impress him
“i’m sorry, i need to- i need to interrupt you-” taehyung giggles, cutting you off right as you’re about to dive into a discussion about the number of loaves holden caught in the novel, “as much as i would love to hear more… everything that’s coming out of your mouth is wildly inaccurate, y/n.”
what
...
oh my god.
“wh-” your throat goes dry and you choke a little, “what?”
“be honest- did you read the book?” taehyung asks flat-out and you feel your cheeks burning up again
uh-oh
“i…”
okay
forget it
you can’t do this anymore!
it’s too stressful!!!!
“…no.” you press your lips together before shooting taehyung a sheepish grin, “there’s no catching loaves of bread in the novel, is there?”
“not even one loaf.”
“oh, god-” you groan quietly, reaching up to cover your hot face with your hands at the realisation that you just very confidently ranted about the importance of rye bread in this novel for the past five minutes, “not even one?!”
mortifying!
absolutely mortifying!!!!
well
it’s time to tell namjoon to find a new favourite bookstore because you are nevER bringing him back here agai-
“hey, it’s totally fine!” taehyung laughs lightly, stepping closer to you so that he can pry your hands away from your flushed face, “i actually think it’s really impressive how long you can go talking about bread-”
“you let me- you knew that i hadn’t read the book yet you let me continue talking about bread-?!” you gawk, taehyung now bursting into a full-blown chortle as he throws his head back, “how could you??”
“i couldn’t help it!!” taehyung wheezes, reaching up to flick a stray tear away, “i’m sorry! i’m sorry, really, i am-”
even when he’s laughing at you, your stomach can’t help but feel fluttery
“you’re lucky you’re pretty-” you snort, shaking your head gently, “otherwise i would be way more mad at you…”
taehyung’s laughs dwindle down into light chuckles and you swallow thickly when he takes a small step closer
“you’re lucky you’re pretty.” he retorts playfully, reaching over to move a strand of hair away from your eyes with his pinky finger, “otherwise i wouldn’t have let you talk my ear off about bread for five whole minutes…”
...he thinks you’re pretty?
“oh yeah?” you challenge, reaching over to jab your finger into his chest
taehyung reaches up to wrap his fingers around your wrist before offering you a particularly boyish smirk, “mm, yeah.”
you don’t miss the way his eyes flicker down to your lips for a split second and you know it’s way too soon but you really want him to just lean down and kiss you…
“hey, do you like dessert?” taehyung pulls away suddenly before turning to make his way behind the counter
“de- dessert?” you ask dumbly, still a little dazed from... that
what was that?!
“mhm!” tae leans down slightly and flips a couple of switches underneath the counter, the chandelier light shutting off first before the other little lights begin to switch off as well, “there’s a little diner about a block away that makes really good strawberry cheesecakes.”
“i love dessert!” you nod, “and strawberry cheesecake sounds really yummy.”
“good! in that case, would you be interested in sharing a slice of cheesecake with me and perhaps delving deeper into your rye-based analysis?” taehyung teases as he grabs his coat off the back of his chair, his keys jingling in his hands
you snort lightly
“i would love to share a slice of cheesecake with you but i refuse to embarrass myself further, so we’re going to have to find something else to talk about-”
taehyung holds the door open for you and you immediately shiver as you step out, the chilly air a stark contrast from the warmth of tae’s cozy store
you jolt in surprise when taehyung reaches down and slips his fingers in between yours (which he later explains he only did because his hand was cold and definitely noT because he just really really wanted to hold your hand) before beginning to tug you along next to him
“well, we can talk about the fact that you thought the name of the book was catch her in the eye-”
“i knew you heard me! i knew it!!”
help me help you make your wishes come tru (aka send me a request)
why don’t you explore the rest of the library while you’re here? 
or perhaps you want something shorter to read?

the ao no flag ending
i know i was ranting abt pokemon earlier on today but i did also finish ao no flag WHICH I ABSOLUTELY LOVED HOLY SHIT
but I have some thoughts about the final chapter so I’ll put them under the cut:
so that ending. wow. wowowow. i both expected it and did not expect it at all. let me explain. so i expected it because i noticed taichi's progressing feelings for touma throughout the manga, like how his brain would circle back to touma after thinking about his girlfriend. the difference in his reactions receiving gifts or compliments from the two of them was also telling. i constantly contrasted his relationship with both of them throughout the story so i knew he had feelings for touma from the get-go, except i did this as a queer reader who is used to reading against the grain. non-queer readers absolutely would not have noticed taichi’s feelings for touma even though it was right in front of their faces because straight people be like that (especially shounen jump readers). we forget they’re socialized to no-homo literally everything they consume.
and this leads me to why i didnt expect it: because ao no flag is a shounen jump publication. i mean wow. hats off to you kaito, my man, the GOAT. when i saw i was already on chapter 53 i really thought that was it and hoped touma would at least get a happy ending with a different boyfriend or something. except kaito pulled the rug from under my feet by not just marrying the two of them but also choosing not to have that portion of the story told. and im not mad about it because it would have been repetitive to have readers go through taichi's entire emotional arc about him realizing he’s queer and in love with touma since we already did that with touma and masumi. if you were looking for it like i was you’d have realized the start of taichi’s changing feelings anyways. the story is very much about that particular time in youth where you’re on the cusp of entering adulthood. so that the story didnt show what happened after they all graduated makes sense in that regard.
this manga reminds me of shimanami tasogare becuase it left me wanting more but not in a way that the story is incomplete. if i had to add ONE thing, maybe in touma and taichi's apartment, we could have had a panel of touma picking up a framed photo of him and taichi as a couple right at the end. even just so we could see his timeskip look. but i think the choice to have the final chapter in touma’s POV but not have us realize it until halfway through is a genius storytelling technique. i’ve seriously never read a manga that has done it so creatively and impactfully
as for masumi, biphobes can personally meet me behind the denny’s for a fight to the death. even if she did think she was exclusively attracted to women in high school, young queer people change so much from those formative years. i know I personally cycled through like 4 labels myself. that she fell for a man doesnt erase or cheapen the fact that she’s attracted to women and experienced a lot of internalized homophobia about that part of herself. i think what tells me that her endgame was done with justice and tact is that her partner fully loves and accepts who she is. he could even be a trans guy. or bi. who knows! life be like that. at the end of the day she is still a person who falls for women and is in a queer relationship.
as for futaba, i think her journey was always learning to love herself. her and taichi also didnt seem to have much physical attraction to each other in my eyes. both of them would find touma very appealing and sexy but never each other beyond “aw, she’s like a chinchilla, cute.” or “oh his hands are slightly bigger than mine wow.” that kaito didnt even have them kiss is really telling. i think what they had was more of a deep friendship that mutually benefitted both of them with facing their own insecurities rather than a romance. im glad she actually found someone she felt a romantic attraction to at the end. it just proves she really did learn to love herself. 
anyways ao no flag would make SUCH a good anime (in a way shimanami tasogare wouldnt). who do i petition for this because it needs to happen!

Can I ask for B, C and D for Arthur, Isaac and Mozart pretty please? 🖤
Of course! 💖
Arthur
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
- The size difference between your hands and his always sends a little thrill through him
- Even just twining your fingers together will put a smile on his face
- Often brushes kisses over the back of your hand or your palm
- Looks down and smiles so so soft and gets a little red over it
- You die inside omg
- He can’t help it, he just loves you
- Also loves the way he can make you scream with just his fingers and there’s the Arthur we all know and love
- When you drag your nails down his back in the heat of the moment, it never fails to make him shudder and groan
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
- The man has no sense of propriety and will put his fingers to good use at the worst times
- Very often when you’re supposed to be working, or when you’re positive he didn’t lock the door behind him
- He doesn’t seem to care in the slightest though; will just give you an assured grin and slide his fingers under your waistband
- You’ll try hard to continue with...whatever you were doing before, but he’s a bastard and knows exactly where to touch you
- Rubs you from behind as you hang your head and moan
- When you come, he shoves his fingers inside to feel your body spasming
- After, he licks them clean and hums with satisfaction
- Winks before sauntering off
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
- Listen, he’s a lot of things but pure is not one of them
- You occupy all of his waking and sleeping thoughts and he strokes himself imagining what it would be like to touch you every night
- So he chooses an obvious spot to jerk off, knowing there’s a chance you’ll walk in on him
- He settles in, and then puts on a show
- Quickly gets riled up, heat rising rapidly as he imagines you
- He hears footsteps approach the open doorway and then just stop, the sweet scent of your blood confirming your identity
- His eyes are closed but he can feel you watching; the thought too overwhelming and all at once he comes
- Groan wrenched from his throat, louder than he intended
- Not loud enough to cover your answering moan though
- When he opens his eyes you’ve already rushed away to your bedroom, but he grins to himself anyway
Isaac
B = Body part
- The hollow under your ear is his favourite spot on you
- You sigh gently whenever he brushes his nose there, filling him with such adoration that he thinks his chest might burst
- It’s a lovely spot to hide his burning cheeks as well
- If he stays there for long enough, you’ll reach up to stoke his hair he could die a happy man right then
- He likes his hips, likes watching your fingers spread across his pelvic bones when you go down on him
- Or after sex, you tend to stroke that area and it makes him shiver
- (Deep down the real reason is because of how he makes you cry his name out when he pounds you the way you like, so loud that every resident of the mansion hears it)
C = Cum
- Holy shit he gets so shy about this
- Eyes fly open wide when he sees his come on you for the first time
- When he eats you out, his face glistens; he loves it but is dying inside oh my god he’s so flushed
- If you really want to make his head explode, lick along his jaw when your slick is still all over his face
- Then give him a dirty kiss
- “I want to taste myself in your mouth”
- Wowowow he maybe nearly comes in his pants over that
D = Dirty secret
- Obsessed with coming inside you
- Like, more than is actually appropriate and he’s so embarrassed by it
- Unfortunately for him, you’re both mid-fuck when this secret makes itself known
- Your head is thrown back, chest heaving and his heart is already in his throat watching you bounce on him
- You gasp out, “I can’t wait to feel you dripping out of me, Isaac”
- Oh shit
- He’s gone
- Literally instantly comes, and you’re a little shocked at first?
- His face flares so red that you’re actually worried for a moment
- Buries his face in his hands and won’t come out until you convince him that you like it too, you wouldn’t have said it if you didn’t want it
- Then you grind against him until he’s ready to go again
- You drag his hand down so he can feel his come sliding down your thighs
- Proceeds to add more to the mess
Mozart
B = Body part
- He likes and dislikes his eyes
- Thinks they give him an ethereal glow
- He doesn’t love that they’re so emotive, but he’s trained himself quite well; he’s very sure that he only gives off a frightening aura now
- He’s lying to himself
- You like his eyes too, because of how they show his feelings
- It’s difficult to suss out at first, but once you learn to translate his sharp words with the truth his eyes project
- Then it quickly becomes your favourite thing to tease him and watch how the windows to his soul betray his mouth
- You fuck with intense eye contact, and can tell he’s going to fall apart before he actually does just from the look in those violet depths
C = Cum
- Is in near constant disbelief at how eagerly you drink him down
- Did not expect that
- Is so shocked the first time you do it that he just watches you for long moments in absolute astonishment
- Before reaching down to press his thumb on your lower lip
- He opens his mouth but nothing comes out, and it takes a few minutes longer for his tongue to start forming piercing words
- You simply smirk; knowing you’ve shocked him and relishing in it, blurting out
- “Yum”
- He actually blushes damn it
D = Dirty secret
- Yes, he has jerked off at the piano
- No, he will not ever talk about it
- He was maybe a lot a little drunk
- And riding the high of finishing a work that he actually felt proud of
- It’s ridiculous but the keys were so smooth under his fingertips and before he knew it he was reaching down
- It’s over fast, in an unsteady blur
- He comes on the floor between his shoes, panting like he’s run a marathon
- Cheek pressed to the cool ivory
- He’s fucking mortified about it tbh, but it was so good

—ask collection!
Tumblr media
a collection of mostly very old chats and sweet asks that i never got around to answering! thanks for the patience and love!! 
beware, fairly long post... woops....
Tumblr media
chat asks.
Tumblr media
darling: Eu-jin is best boy. Change my mind.
vanya: i am physically incapable of fulfilling that request, how dare you do that to me... i’m biased since he’s my own oc, but i would die for my (very best) boy eu-jin... who can resist such a gentle yandere that loves you so whole-heartedly?
that reminds me! he’s actually based off of kuroyuki and gekkamaru from the otome nightshade, so if you want similar characters by any chance, do check them and the game out ♡
Tumblr media
darling: I was watching the dub for Part 5 of JoJo's Bizarre adventure yesterday...Mista called himself Daddy and I like- sdfghjfgsdhnhnmj!! My heart can't take this--
vanya: WAIT HE DID???? i’m not even big on daddy kink and reading that made me go 😳 this is vital information to know... what episode was this??? for research purposes, of course. gotta perfect my yan! mista, after all~...
Tumblr media
darling: for yandere songs, have you heard of the major to minor covers by chase holfelder :O? the way he delivers the lyrics in some songs (betty, all i want for christmas), added with the key changes to minor, is really fantastic, and gives a stalker-ish vibe imo! and he's a really good singer in general
vanya: i have!! a good chunk of them are actually on my personal yandere playlist, so i end up hearing them frequently when i’m writing!! i haven’t been keeping up with his uploads recently, so ‘betty’ is completely new to me and just, wow???????????? this man is an absolute god send for us “romantic” horror fans... ♡
this ask gave me such a lovely idea, though, darling: assigning yandere types/mbti based off each of chase’s minor key covers. i think i’ll do that just for you. ♡
Tumblr media
darling @blossomiich​: I reread some of your old character interaction asks and saw the one with Jotaro hugging his Darling after a panic attack and the elephant seal plush reminded me of the iconic C H O N K Y ringed seal plushie that was kinda trending and I can totally imagine Jotaro having one of those >w< that's so adorable!
vanya: i honestly don’t remember that interaction, but then again i don’t remember most things hmghng so i looked it up and
Tumblr media
j...just imagine star plat hogging it and not letting joot cuddle with it 🥺 the duality of man...thank you for this cute image...
Tumblr media
darling: Umm, sorry for asking this. I'm just curious because of your bio language in your header. Are you Chinese too, perhaps?
vanya: no worries!! i’m mixed guyanese (indian, chinese, & possibly black and/or portuguese), but my family only celebrates (or rather, acknowledges?) our indian descent, since the majority of our family is predominantly east indian. 
my header is actually a quote from a danmei novel (and one of my all-time favorite fandoms), tiān guān cì fú (heaven’s official blessing)!
Tumblr media
darling genki stan anon: Omg you're writing for free now, i didn't expect that one lol. It's a cute show innit? Not a nagi stan but I feel like nagisa has that kinda unsnapped personality that would make him peak delusional yandere material lolol like oikawa but less threatening and without his head being up his own ass 😂. Hope you're doing well!! -gsa
Gdjsjs im such a fool, i think my last ask said something about not thinking you'd write for free when i literally just pointed out kisumi on your sideblog LMAO my bad 😅 😂 also ill hold back on the gen chan requests because ive already asked so many in the past! Thank you though 🥺. Also feel free not to post this, it can just dip into my onesided chats with my lil flower 💐 so long as you receive them im fine 😌 -genki stan anon
vanya: nagisa isn’t my favorite (kisumi is), but gods if he wouldn’t make a great yandere. honestly, out of the iwatobi boys, nagi is probably the most unhinged. i wouldn’t peg him as delusional, at least not at first; i think he’s very lucid and knows exactly what he wants and how to manipulate people in order to get it!!! kisumi is fairly similar now that i think about it... i might... have a type...
please feel free to send in gen-chan requests whenever you want!!!! i’m kinda super asocial, so it’ll take me a while to answer, but i love getting asks from you since you’re so sweet and excitable!!! your little flower reads and cherishes them all!! 🥺
also darling genki stan anon: Sorry for spamming you with asks hdjkdks, u dont even need to reply im just kinda brain empty venting here whether you recieve them or not 😂 i just needed to confess that while yes i am #1 gen simp, and he is undoubtedly my fave oc of yours but that Ilya tentacle smut had me very much so highkey kinda 👀, had to re read the genki oral style drabble to bring my head back. He dont even need to worry about luca bc that man a thot. I think therin is a thot too but like lowkey, a classy thót -gsa
vanya: omg i’ve kept this one for forever mnmghngh i might’ve even answered at some other point, now that i think about it... but i just 🥺 gosh i hope i find my muse soon, because i really wanna write you a genki fic 🥺 hhhh
the ilya tentacle smut was so in character for that boy... i have no clue how to write monsters, much less tentacles, but i’d honestly do anything for him 🙏 kinky russian boy...
therin is definitely a classy thot, the kind that only bangs the finest concubines then turns around and slut shames you for banging the very same prostitutes gbfmngnfg rules don’t apply to him, in his kingdom...wish that were me tbh ✊😔
Tumblr media
sweet asks.
Tumblr media
darling one: i've read almost all of your dazai and chuuya fics and i love them so much!! your formatting is also super aesthetic just a question, i saw on your kofi that you also draw so i was wondering if you drew all the header arts?? bc they're all super pretty :) have a great day!
darling two: Just wanted to say love the writing and the way your format your posts is so aesthetically pleasing. One day I hope my posts looks half as good as yours because I legit can't get over how pretty and organized it looks.
vanya: omg thank you so much!!!! one of my bffs, yue, is to thank for the formatting and aesthetic choices, really! if you wanna see more of her aesthetic formats and posts, she actually runs a few blogs! you may know her as @milkscafe​, formally @milkaaton! i adore her and her aes choices so much 🥺
as for the headers, i don’t draw 99.98% of them! i have drawn a couple, but they’re so few and far in between since i almost never finish my art wips haha... my older posts are lacking proper credits because i’m an absolute idiot, but i’m slowly working my way backwards to credit them all where possible! they’re all indeed super pretty!!!
have a great day yourself, my love!!
Tumblr media
darling: THEY’RE NOT BAD CONTENT, I LOVE THEM ALL
vanya: this was in response to a now-deleted lil blurb but i kept it in my inbox because i wanted to say i love u very much and seeing this ask each time i open my inbox makes my heart skip a beat ♡
Tumblr media
darling: Listen I love your writing, you inspired me to start it myself! I've always loved to write, and read of course but your style and concepts just stick with me. If you where to write something besides Yandere content/fandom content and started your own series? I would read the shit, out of it. I'm always nervous to interact with my favorite writers because you know, I'm afraid of the impression I'd leave but I just wanted to say this anyway! 💞💞💞🔫😳
vanya: wowowow fgfnmgnfmngfg that’s such a high compliment my brain just gmfnbgmnf go boom fogjfngnfg and thank you for the interaction, us writers truly appreciate it no matter how awkward or nervous you think you may be / come off!!!
Tumblr media
darling one: As a writer, your post struck a nerve with me. I don’t send feedback to writers I like nearly as much as I should (and certainly not as much as I’d like in return as a writer). So, as such, I’m going to start doing that when I can, starting with you.
You are an incredible writer. You were one of the first yandere writing blogs I found and you’re still one I check in on regularly to see what you have been working on. You can portray a sense of suspense and intrigue in a natural way that many other writers - published ones included - struggle with. You delve into the darkness without it feeling forced, and you have an amazing grasp on the psyches of the characters you write for (which is a quality I adore in writing and strive toward myself).
I’m not great at ending these things so I guess.. you keep doing you? Because the you is great and I appreciate it.
darling two:  hey. i'm here to tell you that from the bottom of my heart i love you and your writings. i really admire your writing skills. you inspire me. one of your posts once saved me from a nervous breakdown. thank you for everything you do. you're a wonderful person. good luck!
darling three: I wanted to tell you that thank you for writing such wonderful beautiful writings and that you take time to edit and write I hope you are taking care of yourself 💖❤
darling four: Thanks. I was having a hard time and deleted all my apps, but as soon as i opened my phone my first instinct was to look at your blog and i got my motivation back. Thanks (:
darling five: Hi ! I just wanted to say I really enjoy the stories you write and how they are detailed so well ! Stay safe and I hope you have a good day/night ! ლ(╹◡╹ლ)
vanya: ahhhh, these are very old asks mostly dating back to my “tumblr writing community is dying” post, and i’ve kept them this entire time because i’m just so starstruck. i have no clue how to reply to compliments, so i’m not sure what else to say besides that these asks made me very happy and got me through a few insecure moments!!! i’ve actually been feeling a little down about my writing recently, mostly because of lack of motivation / inspiration, so revisiting these really warmed my heart, so thank you truly ♡ i’m certainly keeping the originals in my inbox until the end of time!!
Tumblr media
darling @monstrously-obsessed: psst, this local cryptic mom thing send all of their love for you 💕
vanya: your local herbo says she loves you very much momster 🥺 mwah
Tumblr media
also, to the anon worried about my safety:
thank you so much for pointing that out!!! it hadn’t even crossed my mind when i made those ocs, so i appreciate your concern! i was contemplating revamping those two as is, so this is a great place to start! thank you again!!

reaction post typed while watching SPN 15x12 “Galaxy Brain”
CHUCK’S REALLY OUT HERE MARIE KONDOING HIS MULTIVERSE CLUSTERFUCK
-
05:16pm
45 days ago this show went into hiatus and i was like i’M GONNA WRITE ALL THE DESTIEL FANFIC
45 days later all i have is over a hundred thousand words of star trek: deep space nine fic and two failed attempts at destiel because every time i tried to write even the simplest, softest, shortest story, my brain would switch to depression mode and cease to function, only to be immediately rescued as soon as i gave up and thought about deep space nine again
hyperfixating autistic brain sure is a thing
i feel odd noting this, but i think a strange reason i’m less inclined to write spn fics right now is because i would always write from a place of dissatisfaction, because i disliked or distrusted where the story was going in terms of dean and cas’ relationship - except s15 seems to be going fine so i have nothing to complain about or fix (THIS BETTER NOT JINX IT OH MY GOD). even AUs don’t make sense anymore?? BUT THAT SAID i’m definitely not gonna stop trying. sometime soon the right story idea will Arrive and i will write it. and post it the same weekend because y’all have waited LONG ENOUGH
-
05:22pm
right!! let’s watch whatever this is. i have no clue what’s about to happen. they’re going to alaska right?? or did they already go to alaska and come back? i forget
edit: i guess alaska looked suspiciously like vancouver so i didn’t notice
-
05:24
ohhhh yeah i wondered when kaia would come after dean for michael breaking the spear
-
05:25
p R ES I D EN T  HI L A R Y  CL I NT ON
-
edit: but now i’m wondering.......... remember when au!bobby came and sat in the bunker with sam and a bunch of the au hunters, and sam basically did a powerpoint presentation and bobby was like “you have a racist pumpkin for a president” ? and how jack’s biological father was also the president? what’s the timeline on that? because if clinton’s doing a reelection then she’s had her 4 years already so that doesn’t match. THEN AGAIN, as we learn at the end of this episode, radio shed world is another au, so now i think about it, it doesn’t matter, the end. computer, erase that entire personal log
-
until the kid said “radio shed” my brain literally read the thing as “radio shack” regardless
and they don’t even have that where i’m from
-
“it’s monologue time”
THIS KID BETTER SURVIVE
-
“the world”
cue a tv shot of DEAN AND CAS 
??
-
radio shed is having a 50% off sale and there was only one customer?? just occurred to me
giant tv? in this economy?
yeah guess not
-
these AUs don’t spark joy.
“but they do”, with chuck pointing at dean and cas. “they challenge me”
CLEARLY THEY REFUSE TO KISS

05:44
i really don’t know what it is, but every time there’s a close up of sam’s face this season his face makes me very uncomfortable. it’s either tense or jumping around all over the place and i really can’t tell if it’s sam or jared having a face problem

05:56
the graphic designer in me cringes at the magazine not-kaia’s reading, particularly the ad for bb cream. i mean it looks legit but there’s no brand name for a standard-name product (what kind of company would advertise like that??), and the text at the side is BLACK ON BLACK???????????????? HRHGHHGH

06:25
it’s over. radio shed guy.......... oh no

WHAT A GOOD EPISODE. best part was them finding kaia and kaia giving dean a hug and not-kaia staying behind and her world coming down around her. i cried a little ;~;
loved how there was team free will + jack and then WOMEN of the same number, if you include billie, and discount the fact the reaper died the moment billie arrived
wow i really didn’t write much as i watched. but this was so absorbing! and smooth! and beautiful in so many places. i look forward to seeing claire and kaia happily reunited at a later time c:
i liked kaia and jack’s friendship. it was complicated and sweet, and kaia did look good in his clothes~
and when kaia and dean hugged, sam’s reaction smile was the most comfortable i’ve seen his face look all season. *thumbs up emoji*
ahh this was nice. i mean, everything was terrible, but it was fun and somehow soft. because Family Doing Stuff Together and saving one life even if it endangered the world forever
10/10
also? the women had very nice false eyelashes, which were very natural-looking, except for the fact that i noticed them and was constantly distracted by them

Here’s my first impressions.
Warning! a loooong post, squealing, incoherent thoughts smashed together, and crying ahead. A lot of crying.
OH NO. They really started it like this. I’m shivering in bed rn. It’s haunting and beautiful and too short. Is that marching?? That’s marching, are they going to war now omg hold on—
[I didn’t include the audio for Wonderland because I hit the limit and ALSO you should go stream it on the KQ channel instead ;) hehe]
The transition into this was spectacular. The marching just became the beat wooooah! HONGJOONG AHJFKSL YES that’s how you start a song. Seonghwa and Yunho, beautiful. Wooyoung!! sounds amazing!! Seonghwa’s low voice o I was not prepared. San helloooo I love the instrumentation at this part. Jongho, as expected with the high note. Oh OH KAJA!! oooooohhhhh man the chorus goes hard I can’t wait to see the choreo. The production on this is spectacular. FiX oN MiNgiiiiii go off oml 🔥 YEOSANG 👏🏻 GET 👏🏻 THOSE 👏🏻 LINES 👏🏻 this is a head banging song I’m head banging rn. The way they bring it back right before the chorus *chef’s kiss* This is overwhelming man. Jongho with the bridge yussss he and San sound amazing. Wait they were right it is like Hala Hala they added both parts of the chorus together!! It’s almost over isn’t it. Yeah it’s over. Ok I need to breathe,,,
It’s starting kinda like a sad song this isn’t a sad song is it?? SANIIIIEEE! Aw this is cute I like it. Hongjoooooooong! I love this rap it reminds me of something. Ooh prechorus?? It’s so pretty oh No here’s the chorus— oh EDM?!!? OKAY!! Wait do I bop or cry 🙊omg Yeosang!!!! oh my baby you sound amazing. Harmonies 😭 harmonies omg there are harmonies... Mingi! He didn’t say fix on :(( short but slick rap as always. I’m still trying to figure out what they’re saying in this chorus I don’t wanna blast it too loud everyone else is asleep I think... hhhhhh!! Mingi and Hongjoong SINGING IN THE BRIDGE holy cow im gonna lose it they sound beautiful YES THANK U THIS IS WHAT I WANTED. Wowwwww high note 🙌There’s something really really nostalgic about this song,, I am undone. The harmonies omg I can’t take this it’s like they know how much I love harmonies, unfair.
OMG— throwback???????? This sounds so 80s YEEEESSSS ! San!! New beginning fairy?? He sounds heavenly I can’t. Mingi, he’s singing again I can’t stop smiling this is my new fave thing. This prechorus, idk what to say it’s amazing. WOOYOUNG JUNG WOOYOUNG NO NO NO NO HES SINGING THE CHORUS AFHSJLSLE Jongho ur vocals are sweet honey please have mercy it’s only like the 4th song and I’m crying already. Hongjoong my boy, this style of rap holy cow. Did someone tell him this is my fave style of rap, because— oh, he’s still going?? Ah this is going on repeat the rest of today 🥰 Yeosang I couldn’t be happier you sound gorgeous and Yunho woah their voices match well. WOOYOUNG AGAIN!! This part was made for him it has to be. JONGHO! SO PLEASE!! This bridge I’m just a mess of tears now they are really singing their hearts out. Is it too early to have a favourite?
Ugh all these songs are ending so abruptly I’m never ready for the next one. Oh I’ve heard his.. aHA AHAAAAA I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT this is from the teasers. I had the teasers on repeat this bgm alone is. so. cool. Yes the Mingi rap aaaaaaaaahdhsjkdflsl but we can hear it this time lol. woah it’s not over yet. The beginning of Treasure! Hongjoong singing the beginning of Treasure again but different lyrics?? I need to look them up later oh what if it’s like they found their treasure,, no I can’t take it where are the tissues the ending is so sad whyyyyuyyy
Yay there is already a fun flavour in this song! Hongjoong your voice is so rich in the low register daaaaang I need more of this. Seonghwa is that you? I feel like I haven’t heard his voice since Wonderland I’m sorry seonghwa my bff I’m getting whiplash trying to hear everyone’s parts but you killed it. These lyrics!! This is a hype song fs. THE BEAT DROP AAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAH!! “Ayyy we are gonna win” YES YOU ARE BOYS! Oh shoot I said that out loud I hope no one heard. Okay yes this is my new hype song no one is allowed to be discouraged listening to this. Oop “aha” Hongjoong hakdlaplajql I squealed again. Aw the rap verses were short but still slayed. This song is so fast I can’t keep up but I love it I am feeling this. The low voices and then the beat drop I can’t FUNCTION THIS IS SPECTACULAR !!!!! You are gonna wiiiiiin. This reminds me of Pirate King the altered voice and then adding a harmony the second time, anyone feel me? Mingi singing in the bridge again yes I love this. Ooo EDM break aaaahhah go crazy go stupidddd! I want a choreo for this, I need a choreo for this. Woah the instrumental is very unusual here. And it ended like that with the piano, deconstructing the elements of the song. Oh I need a second listen for musical reasons but we gotta move on.
This album is moving way too quickly we’re halfway done ripppp. I love the instrumental here it’s super slick. I’m already enjoying this very much. Oh high notes San!! Vocal line has popped off, exceeds expectations 100% Aww hi Mingi. Ah thank God the chorus is sweet and full of riffs wowowow this is a sharp contrast from last song. YEOSANG!!! My heart jumps every time I hear him, you don’t know how hard I prayed for him to have more lines. Hongjoong! What are these voices in the background?. Adorable, this is adorable aaaaahaha!! Oh it’s “we are one, we stay one” that they spoiled in ANEWZ I seeeee. This chorus ugh this whole song I love I just have the biggest smile on my face while also sobbing yall don’t understand. The bridge ahh idek what to say I’m so happy with this. You boys make me so proud I hope you know that 😭 !! The voices are back! This is literally so cute hELP
Here comes THANK U I’m not ready ok deep breaths. Whaaaa? I’ve never been more caught off guard in my life that guitar... Yeehaw? Is this a yeehaw song what-? Hongjoong’s singing wait I have to go back I missed it. His voice I— digging my grave. Wait why does this sound lowkey country ohhh dear say sike ah no alright the CHORUS mmm I knew it would be a feel good song. That echoing thing after the chorus is cool. Mingiiii! Did he not say fix on again?? This rap is too cute noooooo oml why Mingi why my jaw is on the floor I can’t believe he’s capable of this.. Ok I like it I’ve decided I like this. I was surprised at first bc I’m not a country fan and it sounded like it was about to be a country song 😂 but this is a bop!! “Gomawo” 😭 no gomawo yourself. Thank you for being on my side 🥺 It’s a hands clapping song. Yes Jongho go off!!! Oh I just gasped the biggest gasp the ending riff was beautiful
Sunrise. Okay deep breaths. I’m gonna just listen and try to not think about the fact Hongjoong cried writing this song. Let’s go. .... oh. OH. Oh it’s soft. I’m soft 🥺 ahhh man they sound so good. This— the background music... it’s doing me in. Aww Mingi. Ahh no this sounds sad whyyy I’m afraid to see the lyrics dangit. (0:41) I just dropped my phone. K that scared me but the lyrics just shot me in the heart. !!!!! I gasped again and now I’m coughing hang on I gotta pause. Just keep it up... boys you outdid yourselves. This GUITAR HOLY CHEESE AND CRACKERS ITS AMAZING. *stomp stomp clap* Hongjoong hiiiii wow this rap right here, I only caught half the lyrics but I know exactly what he is saying ah man. We’ve added instruments in the back. Oh Jongho that was such a clear note the vowel was perfect there. This chorus I can’t. Yeah ok I’m crying again something about the guitar I . Cant type. Oh man. Oh OH OH the bridge the BRIDGE THE BRIDGE everything the vocals the background music. Okay here’s our real stomp stomp clap moment. Ah ok wiping the tears now. They sound great. Hongjoong aaaahh what a way to end the song.
That was an experience I hope I get to breathe during this but I already know I won’t. Um.. it’s piano... for like a solid 20 seconds and it’s slightly jazzy are we getting a ballad?? Our first real ballad!! Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! Seonghwa yessss 🥰 Oh you guys I’ve wanted to hear a ballad from him for so long you don’t even know. Wait everyone sounds so perfect I can’t even describe this. Yunho baby yesss your voice. Wooyoung oml SAN ahhh San your transitions are stunning. Jongho our ballad king it’s like he’s barely even trying and it sounds amazing. Lovely lovely lovely. Mingiiiii he’s singing yet again. Hongjoong too!! Yes oh yes this is it. Their voices all being showcased so perfectly. I’m amazed how well they can all fit this style just as well as they can fit a song like Win. I have one criticism only so far and yall already know what it is. Yeosang still could’ve gotten more lines in this one :_( This is the last song before Beginning of the End oh no. Nooooo I don’t want it to be over. Oh? OH? Yeosang! Yeosangggggg!! Omg I have goosebumps he said NO IM TAKING OVER it’s MY SONG NOW! Wow amazing. The structure of this has been so so interesting I’m definitely going back to analyse. No it’s over...
I’m scared. I’m crying again noo it hasn’t even started jeez pull yourself together. Ok but before I start I really don’t want it to be over and not in a way that implies I want more songs just thinking about how... this is Ep Fin right? The end. Obviously not of ATEEZ (God forbid) it’s only been a year and they’re slaying it I mean absolutely knocking it out of the park each Ep bigger and bolder than the last, they aren’t afraid to try things and when they do they hit the nail on the head. But still this is the end of an era, a storyline too if I’m correct. And it’s just a surreal experience to see it come to a close. ATEEZ, I don’t know where you’re taking us next but I trust you guys and I know it’s going to be amazing.
Ok anyway let’s start the song 🤣 crackling noise? Fire? Ok it’s orchestral. VERY orchestral. “Open your eyes” I felt that San. They were open but I just opened them again. This orchestra is really really moving and cinematic I love it. I see what this is, we’re going Intro: Long Journey except Outro version which is fuller, richer, even more epic and emotional. Oh boy I’m really crying now. Idek what to say again I’m speechless. Oh it swells just like Intro!! Is it the end? Woah???????? What is this? .....SAN?? Wait wait wait it’s over? Like that? No hang on. Waaaait what was that? Seriously that was very strange. I’m not imagining things am I? No does this have something to do with upcoming albums? I’m so confused 😭 it sounded rly cool and spooky whatever it was. Well. Okay! Yeah I guess that’s it. That was the last straw. I should really try to go back to sleep I only have a few hours till I have to get up. But now I’m probably going to go write something, that music was really inspiring. Yeah I think I said what I wanted to honestly! Again I just want to reiterate how proud I am, and remind you to go stream!!!!
KAJAAAAA!

(Un)popular Opinions ep 9!
wowowoow so like... this whole thing was a R O L L E R C O A S T E R and like ten times worse cuz im so emotionally fragile after all of this is over djfhjkhfggj
this turned into “what i liked abt each performance” instead of unpopular opinions BUT i still added some throughout so :^) 
OK LETS GET INTO IT :D 
so honesty hour~ i was scared when Seunghun was joining treasure 5... NOT that i think hes untalented in any way shape or form, but he’s the oldest and it seemed like the group would be seunghun + the kids LMAO 
BUT I WAS SURPRISED (not rly) that he fit so well into Going Crazy ??? Like i was so shook that seunghun could sing any song and totally slay it ,, like wowowow he keeps surpassing my expectations
i screamed when he appeared on stage
BOOMERANG PERF ! : ) 
ok ok okokokok for those who dont know... jihoon .... is my bias and this performance i have been dreading looking forward to the entire week
i know YG edited it and made it seem like Boomerang was too powerful and strong for dohwan and yeongue, but honestly, out of all the groups, i think boomerang was most suited for this team ,,, 
like yeongue??? singing daehwi’s parts?? i didnt know i needed that til now... their voices are so similiar (like tone and style) and their dancing was similar as well !! 
 all of them were so good? like dohwan is an amazing dancer + vocalist and yoshinori..... really.... wearing that... rapping like that.... sgjdfghsfdjgh
plus,,, where are those ppl who were calling jihoon untalented?? BOY WAS LITERALLY THE MAIN VOCAL IN THE PERFORMANCE U HOES
anyways, choi hyunsuk......... he is an amazing leader wowow like when he was leading the boys in the rehearsal and shouting at them while they were literally on stage kdfjdhskd  that was a side of him we hadnt seen before
and the fact that he choreographed the dance breaks ?!?!? like he couldve asked jihoon to help him, but the fact that he carried that on his own is AMAZING ... they truly had the hardest dance to learn and when they made it themselves,, it made everything 10x cooler 
GROWL TEAM !
well ,,, this was depressing cuz i knew only one of them would survive ... 
tbh my pick wouldnt have been junghwan, it wouldve been jongseob, but i agree that junghwan did very well !! like he has lots of stage experience and knows what to do on stage ,,,, i mean jongseob too but idk man he is underrated : / 
anyways , DUMB AND DUMBER PERFORMANCE !
ok like from that teaser... we all knew they were going to win ... it was just expected with confetti guns and backup dancers 3 members of team a +mashi and yoonbin,, all very talented boys and mashi has been training for a long time as well 
in my opinion, this song suited Byounggon and Doyoung the most! they really caught my eye in this performance !! like i knew they were going to win as soon as Byounggon yelled “PARTY PEOPLE~~” like...ok byounggon if u wanted my attention, all u had to do was just ask ;-;
byounggon looked really good in this perf... like really good..... too good *chokes*JFGKDGJKJSGF
im usually not fond of that “wet hair” style,,, but it looked so good on him...... /i cant breathe/
ALSO Doyoung’s singing??? i knew he was a good singer but this song really suited his voice and i got chills when he sang 
anyways, DNA TEAM ! :D 
they were amazing as well !! :D but their stage wasnt as flashy cuz DNA isnt really a flashy song,, its very straightforward LOL
anyways,,,,, yedam and seunghun’s high note was a literal out of body experience like i cant even function thinking abt it cuz it was so beautiful ... it was so flawless as well ... 
they sang so smoothly together ... i’ll never be over it ... 
i wish i could actually see them tho wtf was that green lighting
also can we appreciate how hard yedam works? i know lots of ppl say yyg exaggerates yedam’s talent and basically calls him a God LMAO ,,, but like,,, after this ,,, he truly is a genius cuz i cant even fathom learning a dance and song in an hour tops wowowow on top of studying for exams??and how much stress that is ?? i can barely eat when im studying for exams oml
.... he really is amazing ... and doesnt deserve all the shit yg throws at him 
OVERALL ! 
ok ok ok so now it gets controversial 
ELIMINATIONS : ( 
ok so as expected, Keita and Seunghun were eliminated which was such a shit move on yg’s part :/ like Keita is the longest running japanese trainee and seunghun is the longest running korean trainee... like wtf
and before i get shit for this, obviously i didnt want any of DNA team to be eliminated (i dont want anyone to be eliminated period),,, but c’mon ,, a 14 year old who has been training for not even a year VS 9 year and 5 year trainees ... ,, i’l admit, i think seunghun deserved that spot, 
and jeongwoo thought so too ,, like the look in jeongwoo’s eyes were not “oh yay i won!!” they were “me park jeongwoo??” kdfjdgkhsfd ,, he looked at seunghun immediately which was so sad cuz these trainees dont even have the time to be happy for themselves cuz they are too busy feeling sad for their friends... ... /sigh/
ok boomerang elimination time freaked me TF out cuz jihoon is my bias of like the entire show and ;-;;;;;;;;; jihoon ;-;;;;;; like obviously hyunsuk was expected, but i was thinking yoshinori or jihoon? really dont know with yg :/  
bUT IM SO HAPPY JIHOON MADE IT AJFKDFJSKGJ  like yes i love Yoshinori but ugh my heart hurts for jihoon .. he’s been through so much ... (but later i felt better keke)
and after those eliminations were over,,, like hyunsuk’s crying really got to me... he was crying ever since seunghun was eliminated and we all know hyunsuk cannot hide his emotions for shit so he was covering his ears during DNA eliminations and he apologized multiple times to the boomerang team and looked SO guilty... my heart ached hearing his sobs... they sounded so child-like and pitiful. it really put things into perspective ;-; 
before this, i was unsure if hyunsuk was fit to be a leader, not cuz he cant lead, but cuz he’s so emotional ... but after boomerang team, i think he really can lead Team A if/when they debut... like wow he was a really amazing leader and sometimes showing/feeling emotion can be good as a role model ... but ofc all team a members are amazing leaders LOL (also jihoon aka leader of team b)
ok i already said my peace abt growl so yeet ,,, was expected and i heard spoilers... /sigh/
and ok ok ,,, so i truly think Dumb and Dumber deserved to win,, but all the groups did so well ! i enjoyed all of them except growl tbh (maybe cuz that song has been covered so many times and im lowkey sick of it sdlkjfhdsjgs) but !! they all worked so hard :’(    
ALSO THAT ENDING AHAHAHAHA :))))
i believe the trainees who come back are Seunghun (i know it is LMAO) and Yoshinori(??) i say that cuz the camera zoomed on Treasure J members and Haruto opened his arms up for a hug !! and i feel like he would do that for another one of his members kldsjfdgahfjd 
PLUS Hyunsuk looked so happy and i know that happiness was directed at Seunghun too, but Yoshinori was also on his team which probs made him feel so much happier !! 
****** Another side note: Seunghun is LITERALLY SO UNLUCKY & HAS IT SO BAD ... like first, he lost against Mashiho when he was chosen by the 100 treasure makers (mashi was chosen by yg). then he won against yoonbin and yeongue, but was called out by everyone by being a popularity contest (which no one is complaining about now even tho these performances were all chosen by the fans ahah funny weird lmao ahah more sarcasm) + YG didnt even compliment him and/or Byounggon ?? :///  
AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT, he gets chosen to be in the Treasure 5, which i was initially SO excited for, but then D&D wins over the Treasures, leaving seunghun to be eliminated...he can never truly win ... + the only time he got complimented was right before he was eliminated, so waht the fuck...
we really though yedam was the protagonist of this show but UHH we thought wrong: it’s Seunghun !! :)))
also my inbox is open to im open to debating/talking/crying/screaming over all of this dksflhdsgkjhasf also fangirl/boying is allowed :^) especially about jihoon

not so subtle ( bullet point - work in progress )
currently an idea i’m drumming up inspired by this - please do not steal my concept / fanfic it into your own. ( if you wanna make a fanfic based off of crazy rich asians, go for it fam / send that my way. ) i am literally going to write it, but i like to bullet point because it’s fun / helps me get the ideas better rounded. also i think it’s fun. i know i wrote that twice but this is me tryin’ to get my point across.
pairing: harrison osterfield x female!reader 
okay so your best friend is dating tom holland
like kewl. he’s nice enough. he’s chill af. ya get along. and he’s so good to your best friend
she always goes on about him when he’s gone and ur like “aaight but i’m not getting laid so enuf plz. like i love u but no bb girl”
anyways gahdamn u so lucky cuz she lets you tag along with her
at this point you’re her honorary plus one - like wowowow how did you hit the friend jackpot
at this point in your life you kinda always ready to hit up the red carpet with her bc u get to see cELebRItiEs!!11!!
but the one thing that you find kinda a downside is tom’s best friend
which sounds a bit ridiculous - you know - but it’s become annoying
at first you thought he was chill but he’s always teasing you about being starstruck
and ur like “bITCh!!! it’s chris evans!!! one of the chris’!!!!11!!!”
he just seems so smug about not losing his shit in front of cool people
and he just seems to lowkey pick on you??? and you’re like “??? why?” ( aka this vine )
he’s literally so annoying that you don’t do the whole “harrison” or “harry” or “haz” dealio the way everyone else does - it’s either “osterfield” or “lil shit” 
and he seems to literally take PRIDE in being called lil shit by you despite your best friend telling you that it’s rude
at this point you just avoid him but jfc you suck at it so bad
and he always catches you at your worst moments
and laughs about it
which makes you think that you were right in nicknaming him lil shit
the day he finds out you have outfits stored in your car is a day you never wanted to happen
but it’s only cuz your bestie always surprises shit on you like “OMG I GET TO GO TO A SWANKY PARTY WITH YOU?!?!?!?! YAAAYYY~~ OH FRICK FRACK PADDY WACK I DON’T HAVE SUITABLE CLOTHES”
and you think it’s sweet but sweatin while tryin to figure out outfits last minute ain’t cute hunny
so you’ve just happened to store some of your cuter dresses in your car
“You have a cocktail dress in your trunk?” he asked bewildered. A smirk crosses his face as you pull the garment bag towards your chest. Of course he’d give you grief about this. Still, you have your pride along with a fabulous outfit. “I’m not an animal, Osterfield” you announce defiantly as you hmph past him.
anyways y’all are invited to a party and you tryin to play it cool but you also know like, nobody besides your friend, tom, and harrison
and you get lost from all of them and some celebrity that you’ve literally had a crush on for FIVE-EVER approaches you and flirts with you
wowowowowow okay okay you gotta breathe you gotta mcfrickin BREATHE
and when he compliments your dress you’re like “HAHA SUCK IT, OSTERFIELD”
except your celeb crush is starting to get more, uh, aggressive than you prefer. and you’re realizing this is not as cute as you wanted this moment to go
and honestly you h8 this feeling but you feel trapped and a bit scared and just wanna get out
the last thing you expect is harrison to show up and stick up for you and get your former celeb crush to gtfo 
and you’re a little jittery after the whole ordeal like “shakey shakey it feels earthquakey” HSHSHSHS YOU FUCKING SAY THAT TO HIM AND HE’S LIKE WAT AND UR LIKE SDFKANLSF NOTHING
anyways he’s literally helping you to calm down like “breathe. take a deep breath. you got this, love.” 
and you stop breathing when he calls you “love” because he never calls you that. 
like you get that it’s probs just a british thing but he still never uses that with you
cuz he’s gotten fond of just calling you by your name or “lil skunk” ( you fuckin accidentally fall into a garbage once and you earn the worst nickname in all the land )
and when you stop breathing, he’s like “whoa whoa whoa. c’mon, y/n. keep breathing for me.” 
so you start breathing again. and when you finally feel a better, you glance at him and you can’t help but feel weirdly shy
you thank him all soft and nervous and he’s smiling so tender at you that for a second you feel your heart skip a beat
and then some girl wraps her arm around him and he gives that goddamn player smirk to her and wow that feeling just left so mcfrickin quick
and you’re like “bye lil shit” “bye lil skunk” “i hate you” “hahaha whatever you say, lil skunk” “fuck off”
and you start your search for your best friend not realizing that tom watched that all go down and is just smiling all excitedly cuz he knows what’s going on. and he’s about to be the dumbest and try to be y’alls cupid. and it’s gonna be a mcfrickin shit show fam.
anyways i wanna make this into a series bc i’m a mcfrickin idiot hahahaha yaaaaaah buddy
if you wanna give feedback, i greatly appreciate it!

A Rock and a Hard Place- James Potter x Reader
Summary: Y/N’s parents are pretentious pure blood slytherins, and when they find out she is dating James Potter, they have some things to say.
Word Count: 2579 (longest one so far)
A/N: Wowowow this request got me effed up heheheheh WOWOWOWOW that was long as f.
I’ll see you at the start of term next week babe, love you. She finished up her letter to James, and tied it to the leg of her owl, sending it out the window. She heard heavy footsteps rushing up the stairs and hastily shoved his letter to her in a drawer. Her door was thrown against the wall as her parents burst in, faces red with anger. She backed against the wall, quite afraid of why they were so angry. Had they found out?!
“Why did James Potter just send a letter to you? Y/N, we expected so much more of you! You think we don’t intercept the mail? He’s a blood traitor, and so are all of his friends! Such lineage should not be wasted on helping muggleborns, and our lineage will not be wasted because you have feelings for a blood traitor. You send a letter to him right now young lady and tell him that you will not be dating him any longer.” Your eyes widened and filled with tears as your mom ruined your relationship with the boy you loved.
“We knew something was going on when you refused to join the Dark Lord, but we never thought you would betray wizard kind on this kind of a level. You are a disgrace to this family, and to the Dark Lord.” Your dad spat, and you snapped.
“You have NO idea who he is. He’s ten times the person either of you will ever be and I hope that when you’re burning in hell for what you’ve done, that you regret being such hypocritical arseholes!” and with that, you pushed your shell shocked parents out of the room, and began frantically tossing things into your trunk. There was a magical expansion spell on your trunk so you could fit everything you needed. You didn’t know where you were going to go, but anywhere was better than the hell hole you were living in.
After you had gathered all your belongings, you took a deep breath, held your head up high, and stomped down the stairs, trunk bouncing along with each step you took.
“Y/N Y/L/N, get your blood traitor arse back up into that room and wait for us to call you down. We’ve arranged a meeting with the Dark Lord that will hopefully set you straight.” Your mother snarled, pointing to your room. You ignored her however, marching down the stairs once more. You tried to drown out the, “Don’t you dare walk out of that door,” and, “Don’t bother coming back,” that you were getting from your parents, and strutted right out of the door, and onto the driveway, saying goodbye to your family’s awful manor. You stuck out your wand arm, and within an instant, a huge purple bus came hurtling down the street, and screeched to a halt before you.
You were escorted onto the bus and to one of the beds in the back, and as you were thrown around while turning corners, you decided on staying at the leaky cauldron. The bus dropped you off and sped away, and you wrote to James the second you got settled into your room.
“Dear James,
My parents found out about us. They said that I had to write to you and break up with you, but I didn’t really want to, so I left. I’m staying in the leaky cauldron, room 206, if you want to come keep me company for the day. If all goes well, neither of us will ever have to deal with my parents again. I love you.
~ Y/N”
You sent the letter using the pub’s owl, seeing as yours was still on its way to James with your first letter. You flopped back down on the bed and sighed.
Only a day after you had sent the letter to James, he had come tumbling out of the fireplace in your room, coughing and sputtering. His glasses had flown across the room when he had shot out, and you snatched them up for him. He rushed to you and squeezed you so hard, you thought you were going to suffocate. You wrapped your arms around him and nuzzled your head into his shoulder, feeling him grip you even tighter. He had met your family only once before, he had stood up for you when they were berating you in public, but he hadn’t seen them since they found out the two of you were dating.
“James, I can’t live on my own, I-I’m so scared, I don’t know what to do.” You sobbed, clinging onto him as though your life depended on it. You supposed it did. He supported you more than anyone, no matter what. He leaned back and cupped your cheeks, gazing into your E/C eyes with his amber ones.
“Darling, breathe with me. It’s going to be fine, mum has already agreed to let you live with us. You’ll be well taken care of, I promise.”
You shook your head in protest when James offered to let you move in, but he cut you off.
“Don’t even start. You’re always welcome, you know that. Mum and dad haven’t even met you, but they already love you, and you won’t be any sort of trouble. I think Sirius is more trouble than you are and they had no problem adjusting to him. Please darling, I need you safe.” He finished, exhaling as he held you even tighter, still holding eye-contact.
You took one look at his deep brown irises and tears splashed down your face again. He wiped them away with his thumbs, the soothing back-and-forth motions calmed you until all that was left of the tears were shimmery trails where they had slid down your face.
“Are you ready to head back to my house love, or do you want to spend one more night here? I’ll stay with you if you wanna stay here.” You mulled it over for a bit and realized that there was no point in delaying the inevitable, you were so scared to meet James’ parents. What if they didn’t want you to date their son anymore? What if they thought you were a bother, and didn’t really want to take you in? Your thought swirled around inside your head until they were a constant flurry of negative thoughts spiraling around. James sensed your doubts and squeezed you a bit tighter, “we can stay one more night love, but I promise they’re fine with all of this. I think they’d be upset if you didn’t come stay with us at some point - I warned them from the beginning that your parents weren’t the best” He assured you, and seeing as it was quite late, he wrapped you up in his arms, carried you over to the big four poster bed, and crawled under the covers, holding you the whole night.
You woke up to small kisses being placed all over your face, and you blinked repeatedly, confused as to where you were. The events of the past two days hit you like a truck, and you flipped over to see James smiling at you, his grin brighter than the sun itself. He greeted you with a gruff, “Mornin’ princess” and leaned in to kiss you deeply. You couldn’t help it, you smiled into the kiss, and felt him do the same. The two of you spent the morning basking in each other’s presence. At about noon, James reluctantly got up and reminded you that they had to get to his parent’s by one, for a late lunch. Your stomach turned over at the thought of meeting your boyfriend’s parents, always a daunting task, and rolled out of bed, pulling on one of James’ jumpers as well as some jeans. He walked out of the bathroom, just as you were swooping your hair up into a messy bun. He stopped and smiled at you, it was finally sinking in that he had you back. You were back. You were back and you were his and by god, he was never letting you go. He helped you wrap up your stuff, shoving it haphazardly into your trunk, and hooked his arm around yours. He led you to the fireplace and the two of you flooed to his place.
You appeared in the living room of the Potter Manor, and almost instantly you were greeted by a very happy dog. You smiled, remembering James and his stories of his dog. Sirius also came down the stairs, helping you up off the ground, and hugging you extremely tight. You two had bonded over your awful families, that was how you had met James. James went in search of his mum and dad, leaving you, Sirius, and the dog in the living room in wait.
The three of you heard footsteps approaching and you tensed immediately. Were you ready for this? Well, you couldn’t back out now. Oh god, what if they didn’t let you stay, where would you go? Sirius glanced over at you and saw the crease between your eyebrows, quickly grabbing your hand and squeezing it. He too had been nervous, he related to your anxiety, but he knew just as well as James that Euphemia and Fleamont would fall in love with you like James did.
The footsteps got louder, and the door swung open, revealing James, Fleamont, and Euphemia Potter. James rushed and stood by your side, introducing his parents. You introduced yourself and nervously held out your hand for Euphemia to shake, only for her to use it to pull you into a hug. She squeezed you tight, and you saw the parallel between her and her son’s hugs. They were both warm, loving and reassuring, they made you feel at home. She stepped back, holding you at arms length by the shoulders, and smiled.
“Oh, Y/N, darling, you’re even more beautiful than we’ve heard.”
“mUM” James’ cheeks burned red, the tips of his ears also flaming, while his father laughed at him.
“Alright darling, I want to meet her too,” Fleamont switched places with her and also hugged you. You didn’t know what to do. These people were so so so nice and they looked at you as thought you were already a part of their family. You felt so lucky. Fleamont made everyone a cup of tea, and after your little meet and greet you were led up the stairs. James’ father had very boldly stated that the walls were quite thin, and so even though you were sleeping with James, they could hear everything. James had groaned, while you had blushed furiously, Euphemia shrieked and escorted you to James’ room. You had set your trunk down and gone down for lunch.
The next day, around three o’clock, Euphemia trudged up the stairs, a letter from your parents in hand. She frowned, it was a howler but it was one that would only go off once you had touched it. She was going to get your permission to burn it, a magical fire should do the trick. She found the door half open, and peeked in, smiling when she saw you and James curled up on the sofa in his room, talking in hushed tones, James’ fingers tangled in your hair. She hated to interrupt the silence, but she knocked quietly, not wanting to reveal the fact that she’d been watching. Both of your heads turned to look at her in the door, and she stepped in, brandishing the letter.
Your face fell, knowing exactly who it was from.
“I know you probably don’t want to read it, so I’m not going to force you. I was going to ask permission to burn it for you.” Your heart soared, knowing that you had a real family.
“Thank you so much Mrs. Potter, you don’t know how much this means to me, really.” you smiled, getting up as she was beckoning you in for a hug. That was a mistake. Your skin grazed the letter as you pulled away, and the letter began to smoke. Euphemia’s horrified gaze met yours.
“I’m so so sorry dear,” And with that, the letter tore itself out of her hand and hovered in front of your face.
“Y/N Y/M/N Y/L/N! YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION TO WIZARDKIND! YOU NOT ONLY BETRAYED OUR FAMILY, YOU ALSO BETRAYED THE NAME OF PUREBLOODS! WE THOUGHT YOU REFUSING THE DARK MARK WAS BAD ENOUGH, BUT YOU HAD THE AUDACITY TO MOVE IN WITH THE VERY PEOPLE CONSPIRING AGAINST US! THEY WILL TIRE OF YOU SO QUICKLY YOU WASTE OF SPACE! THEN YOU’LL HAVE NO ONE! YOU’LL HAVE NOWHERE TO GO AND YOU’LL BE ALONE UNTIL THE DAY THAT YOU DIE! WE HOPE YOU KNOW THAT EVERYONE WILL REALIZE HOW USELESS YOU ARE, AND YOU’LL NEVER BE OF ANY HELP TO ANYONE! BUT FINE, RUN TO YOUR PRETTY LITTLE BOYFRIEND, JUST WAIT UNTIL HE FIGURES THAT OUT! HE’LL DROP YOU SO QUICKLY IT’LL MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN! NO ONE WILL EVER LOVE YOU, AND YOU ARE BETTER OFF ACCEPTING THAT BEFORE YOU RUIN OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES! DON’T EVER BOTHER SPEAKING TO US AGAIN, WE DON’T WANT YOU”
As the shrill voice of your mother echoed throughout the house, the letter burst into flames and was nothing but a pile of ash when it was done. Your eyes were as big as saucers, tears flowing down your face, some streaming down your chest and stopping on your shirt, forming dark spots. You were frozen in your place and you felt a hand come and gently grab your wrist, pulling you around into James’ chest. He wrapped his arms around you and tears of his own dampened your hair as you sobbed into his chest.
Euphemia backed out of the room, not wanting to disturb the couple. She marched into the office space that she and Fleamont shared, and furiously began writing a howler of her own. The words swirling through her head, she wrote two and a half feet of angry loathsome words flowing through her head, down the quill, into the ink, and spreading on the paper like venom. She closed the letter and made extra sure that the bubotuber pus that she had placed just within the seal was perfectly poised to spring out and spray all over. She sent the letter off with a small smirk, feeling satisfied with her efforts. You had been through too much already, but Euphemia had no idea just how bad it was.
Back in James’ room, the both of you had sunk to the floor, you were curled up in his lap, clutching his shirt like he was your rock. You supposed he was. You were caught between a rock and a hard place but the rock was warm, soft and inviting. The rock soothed your fears and held you when you cried. You came to the realization that he was the one. You smiled a bit through your tears and held him just a little bit closer.

WHAT HAPPENED?!!1!?
If you’d like to see the full event: https://discord.gg/XwWVKWb Everything is open, but you can only talk in the voice and general chat.
Over the weekend (starting about Friday) I made a discord server. This was my first one. I had only made my (first) account a couple of days previous– but I had an idea.
The server was called “Everything is Fine”. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know this is a phrase you should be highly suspicious of.
While I was setting up, I introduced two new characters: Adam Nesling and Ector Elm. I chose their last names for a very specific reason.
Then, the big day came!!! You all were invited. About 20 people came. (AHHHH????) Every guest was given a nickname. The people who participated are as follows:
The Traveler @splatoon-jim wasn’t there, but she helped me figure out how to Discord and for that many thanks 
The Photographer: @pain-in-my-aesthetic (Edit: I’M SORRY I HAD YOU HERE I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED)
The Librarian The Singer The Stupid Siren @mltcp
The Veteran @ironwoman359
The Enchanter @flower-non
The Musician @littleteenblog
The Warrior @readeatfightlove13
The Adventurer @the-editor-is-bored
The Detective @princessbelix
The Exorcist @the-real-bubblegum-bitch
The Insane @sam-moss
The Healer @nikkyshows
The Magician @the-asexual-reaper
The Hunter @virgil-loves-princey
The Poet @poem-jim
The Soldier @forgottenbehindtheinternet
and of course…
The Helpless @theinvisiblespoon
The Host played by @theinvisiblespoon (but technically a separate entity.)
For almost the entire time, everyone playing was in voice chat. I’ll try to relay what I remember. I’ll also star (*) my favorite moments.
*Warrior, Spy, and Host are the first ones in the chat. Spy does not appreciate the Host’s bullshit.
Multiple people start to join, and everyone is conversing and bitching about the Host.
People notice that the Host is in the Beware role and the Helpless is in the Safe…¿ role. They also begin to piece together the available information. Everyone discusses code.
FINE is an acronym for F-ellow I-tzel N-esling E-lm.
*People suspect the Observer.
People are confused by their given nicknames.
Cool people that I never expected to join actually jOIN and I’m trying not to freak out because I’m playing a part.
*What I really loved about this whole thing is that it brought a bunch of people together in hating a common enemy. Everyone had a good time, and everyone was closer because of it.
*Veteran, Musician, Spy, Enchanter, Warrior, and Librarian all appreciate me ahhhhhh
The Host says that this will be a game of wits more then strength.
People vote Veteran to be group leader so nobody chokes to death. Everyone appreciated Veteran for that.
A theory arises that the Host is the Host, a character that Mark plays.
Veteran knows from experience that the Host is a dic not gracious.
People notice that the Host has full control of the environment, and are very anxious.
Voice chat begins.
*The Librarian becomes the Singer (per your requests)
The Helpless speaks!!!! “I have not been me for a long time”
The Singer sings!!! (It was beautiful)
Viz’s Tumblr heading and description changes. (It is still there.)
People notice this list from a day or so before.
*/zoom kitchen
*Anytime the Host types, everybody is like “oH GOD EVERYONE RUN”
Singer gives the Host the idea of Morse code.
…—…
The Helpless communicates for a bit through the Host (and Morse code), but the Host discovers them.
Binary: “Shut up, Detective.” (I may be paraphrasing)
At some point, the Singer becomes the Stupid Siren.
I sing Birds, and soon… We begin.
*The Spy comes back for a bit, and people are suspicious, but let it go.
The Photographer becomes a mod.
Someone: I’ll stab you with a spoon. The Host: only if the spoon is invisible. (This got multiple middle fingers)
Entrance hall: (voice chat is basically WTF VIZ)
Dining room: The Host is a creep. Nobody likes it. The Host is casually impatient.
The Host mentions that you are being led straight to your deaths.
I should mention that people have “roles” in this game. Guests (blue) Not Safe (red) Beware (orange) and Safe…¿ (black). Prior to this, the Host was orange, the Helpless was black, and everyone playing was blue.
*The Veteran speaks out of turn, and her name goes red. (Lots of screaming and panicking in the voice chat)
The Host mentions that you should move as one, or die.
The Host is impatient af
Kitchen: Everyone ransacks the kitchen.
Aleah goes back to the dining room to glare at the Host.
*Everyone in the kitchen begins to choke. (There is so much screaming and panicking lol)
Dining room: Everyone hates the Host with a burning passion.
The Host asks everyone to be quiet, but nobody is. Suddenly, no one is able to type in the chat. (So much fear in the voice chat, everyone.)
The Host is a sassy motherfucker.
Servant 1: There is a riddle! Stupid Siren is a smarty pants and checks if there are laundry machines. Number four has the key.
Servant 2: There were other people here before?!?! gasps in Spanish
*Magician tries to cheat the system, and begins to choke. She stops after she drops the Bobby pin, but half the people ran into the next room so eVERONE IS CHOKING AGAIN (the voice chat was, again, just_ screaming_.)
Storage room: People try to go into the secret trapdoor but tHEN THEY WILL BE STUCK THERE SO I DISTRACT THEM WITH THE HOST
The Host: “The only way to get out of the Not Safe role is to kill someone else.”
Theater: The Host is watching an old movie and is also a cocky asshole
*Magician wants to know if the Host can die. The Host mutes everyone (screaming) except Magician so she has the opportunity. Magician doesn’t take it, though. (Which is nice for me, cause I would probably die. Of course, it knew that.)
Enchanter becomes red. The Host can do what it wants.
Magician is annoying and begins to choke.
The Healer takes the Magician’s pain on to herself.
Hallway 2: The Host is not happy Healer did that. Healer turns red.
Everyone begins fighting amongst themselves, which the Host finds interesting.
Music: A piano tune riddle that coincidentally happens to be the bass line for the opening of WKM. (This wasn’t intentional I swear)
Library: The out of place books are an anagram for “PICK AND CHOOSE”. The meaning of this was not resolved.
*(“There is an open tab on the catalog computer.” “Is it pornhub?”)
Hallway 1: The Host “This will be interesting.” _It eyes Aleah. _Aleah is not too friendly with the upcoming characters.
The unlocked doors are bedroom F and bedroom I. (Fine is an acronym.)
*Everyone in voice chat is like “holy shit are we going to see 0229 and Itzel?!?!”
Bedroom F: 0229 attacks them. They also are in the corner.
0229 doesn’t have a sister. The Host lies.
There is a broken mirror in the bathroom. No one is choking when people are in multiple rooms. The Host is mysteriously absent.
Bedroom I: 0229 and Dr. Itzel are happy to see each other. They hug and cry. Then, they vanish.
Zedekiel I and II neutralized.
Aleah really wants to kill/maim Itzel and 0229.
Everyone is confused. The tumblr heading: “_The first were torn apart.” _
A mirror is broken in the bathroom.
Hallway 3: People are cautious. As they should be.
Bedroom N: Adam is unconscious. He wakes up and immediately aims a gun at everyone.
Everyone’s like “jESUS CHRIST Adam calm tf down”
Metatron neutralized.
Adam leaves and some people take weapons. You should’ve used those.
People figure out they don’t choke when they are in multiple rooms. _The Host lies _is mentioned for that fact.
A mirror is broken in the bathroom.
Hallway 3: People waltz into that hallway.
*Bedroom E: Ector Elm is immediately everyone’s favorite.
He has a lisp.
*Veteran’s burning hand trick does not work on him.
*Ector: “Love ya! The Librarian The Singer The Stupid Siren (everyone bursts out laughing)
They realize this entire game was a test.
On a single page– The Host Lies.
********The door slams shut and locks all of them in. The Spy stands outside the door. (Actual terrified screaming at this point– you guys almost took out my ears)
*Oh yeah, I should probably mention that the Spy was also played by me. If you didn’t figure it out already.
****The Spy’s role changes from Guest to Beware.
I (as the Spy) told everyone repeatedly in the beginning that I was a spy, you idiots.
The door stays closed for days. The group finally leaves the building, and when they do, they wake up in their beds, gasping and panting for air. It wasn’t a dream however. But they are all alive. And isn’t that what really matters?
At this point, I received many middle fingers.
*All of their names turn red. (lots of OH GOD NONONO)
Stupid Siren: “I’m not a rat.” Veteran: “We are to them.” Good point.
Photographer suggests “The Ruined Manor Gang” and everyone agrees.
*PEOPLE GOT INSPIRED BY MY TORTURE FEST WOWOWOW
Thank you so much for being a part of this! Watch your backs, gang…there’s a target on them now.

April 18: Blade Runner 2049
So I have finally watched Blade Runner 2049 (which I have been hoarding since Christmas whoops).
Overall, I did enjoy it. I would say I liked it more than Blade Runner, which makes me feel pretty guilty. I hate that I find Blade Runner dated, but I kinda do. In particular, I think it’s too traditional a noir to me--I like the aesthetic of noirs but I think they’re too slow. I wanted more sci fi, less sad lone detective-man very slowly sifts through evidence in between walks in the rain. Also, so many subsequent sci fi narratives have stolen so blatantly from Blade Runner, and expanded on its aesthetic ideas (and its sci fi ideas) that the original starts to seem... simple in comparison. So I do think its very success altering the landscape of sci fi works against it, in a way.
Anyway, 2049 was more... modern, it felt more familiar to me in its aesthetic, and I felt more at home in it.
So I did think it was good. But. I would probably give it a B, B+. There were a lot of aspects I liked but I had complaints too.
Complaints first:
Way too long. It does NOT need to be (nearly) 3 hours and quite frankly, while I felt like the OG Blade Runner was a little slow, too, I think it was slow because it was being true to its primary genre, the noir mystery. This one felt long because hey if we put the words Blade Runner on it, people will sit through anything, so let’s not bother taking any sort of editing eye to the work. It was self-indulgently slow and my mind DID wander. A lot. Including at times when really it needed to be paying attention!
It was very depressing. I don’t need everything to be a comedy-drama but this was very grim and it has left me feeling honestly pretty down. I laughed like 2 times, once when K straight out ran through the wall and the other I’ve already forgotten.
I was very uncomfortable with the whole Rachael dying in childbirth thing. Like... I feel a bit uneasy even with this critique, because I know it does happen (know too well, sadly) but still, this is a narrative. It’s constructed. Someone made that choice to kill her off that way and it just struck me as a choice made for narrative convenience. In other words, a classic fridging. She was an important character from Blade Runner and yet she has NO importance in this film except to be a womb. Killing her in childbirth just emphasizes to me that she’s being used/treated as a means of reproduction: proof that replicants can reproduce, the mother of the mystery baby at the center of the plot, etc., and that’s it. As soon as she’s fulfilled that role, off she goes, because now she has no purpose. The story treated her like Wallace treated that replicant he sliced open so callously and that’s just... honestly upsetting imo. I also think it’s unnecessary because I prefer reading the OG Blade Runner to imply that she had a built in expiration date and so she could have just as easily given birth and then reached that expiration date, and died, which would also tie in that whole expiration concept--which was central to Blade Runner and nearly completely missing from 2049.
I guess I must grudgingly accept that it does make more sense for Ana to be the baby than for K to be the baby. It fits together very well and I do... appreciate that to an extent, all the little clues ultimately coming together: the two babies, the track-covering, the mysterious illness, the ambiguous description of the memory as “real to someone” etc. But like... I really wanted K to be the baby and my first thought was sort of that I’d been cheated? Maybe I just identified with him too much, but it felt like ‘well what’s the point then? Why is he the main character?’ I can answer that: because it IS his story--it’s his radicalization, and even though he wasn’t born, he still is human in some way by the end of the film. But STILL. Another way in which it’s all just GRIM.
Slow as the plot was, I could not always follow it. Actually, it being slow made it harder to follow because I would zone out a lot, possibly when helpful information was going on. Also I thought it lingered on some parts of the story while just straight up skipping over other things.
The stuff I did like:
I loved the aesthetic. They really went all in on the costumes, the sets, the advertisements, the sci fi concepts, etc. Similarly, the world building, especially the expansion of the technology, was great. I also liked that so many of the machines were very 80s looking, even if they were doing very futuristic things (for example, the scene where K has the wood of the horse analyzed shows this off well).
I especially liked the world building in relation to the advancement of the technology. Like.. I’m not sure how to describe this, but in both films, there is a very strong awareness of human nature as it relates to our own inventions, ambition, and hubris. Te replicants were created by human tech companies specifically to be tools, and all of this, all of the plot of both films, is about that technology going awry, being uncontrollable, and yet humans continuing to try to control it. They try to use the replicants only off-world. They try to put fail safes in the replicants. They try to make more obedient replicants. But they never give up on replicants, and in fact Wallace is really expanding them, taking out the fail safes on purpose: longer life spans, working on reproduction. The original problems haven’t even been solved! But we need to get to that tenth world!! That tension between human greed and human fear, that inability to put the toothpaste back in the container even when you really know you should, is so deftly portrayed. I think this is particularly true of the sequel specifically because it depicts the original company going bankrupt and another one taking it on, and the different ethos that goes with the new owner.
Similarly, seeing the technology advance between the two films was really interesting and felt right: that replicants are easier to spot, for example.
I don’t get the “test” in the original film or the “baseline test” in this film but I do think there’s something interesting in the concept of testing the replicants using personal questions. I especially liked that line of Luv’s: “There’s something exciting about being asked personal question. Makes you feel desired,” or whatever it was. And then she tries to ask K a personal question: a sort of replicant flirting?
I’m too close to the viewing experience and so this is just a bit of a thought but I do think the films, viewed together, have something interesting to say about what it means to be human. What’s-his-face’s speech in the first one. The concept of memories, giving them memories to make them feel more real and thus allegedly make them more stable--but then it also makes them more human? Perhaps perhaps? As soon as they exist, regardless of what safeguards are put in--the short life span, the “inability to lie,” the obedience--if they can remember, if they can experience, if they can imagine the future, they are human. I’m not as big a fan of “if they can reproduce, they are human,” (I’d uh rather not put all my own humanity on my ability to make future humans thanks) but certainly the movies consider different possibilities of what human means, and I appreciate that.
And if you combine the K and Joi relationship/romance with the above thought.... wowowow. I mean first of all I am a Sucker for Romance and I did instinctively think what they had was real. But then I wonder, especially given the overall Grim mood/morality of the movie(s), was it not? Was I suckered in this just like K was? In other words, is it possible for a sci fi AI to come to love? Yes. But did this particular one love? I don’t know. She was made to be whatever he wanted! And everything she did and said could fall into that category, right down to giving him a name and telling him he was special. Except perhaps one thing: asking to be erased from the home itself. That was self-sacrifice. That was for his benefit, and not hers. So was it real? And if it was not on her end, was it on his? Like, the concept of a fake human and a fake intelligence, or a human-designed human and a human-designed intelligence, falling in love, and whether or not that’s possible, and if it’s not or only possible on one side, of the synthetic human truly longing for love and seeking out a version of it just as a human-human would, but in the form of just another human invention, created by the same company that created him, is kind of heartbreaking. Very heartbreaking. Does his very longing make him human?
Also as a side note to that K/Joi parallel--he gives her the ability to leave the house at the beginning and the first thing she does is go out in the rain and “feel” the rain, and this parallels, imo, both the death scene of the last replicant in Blade Runner, and K’s final scene in the snow. I felt like he was experiencing the snow like she was experiencing the rain. Do Joi’s increasing number of experiences, including physical experiences (the rain, travel, sex), such as she can have them, make her more human?
While I was disappointed that K wasn’t the baby--I think because I felt like I’d been duped a little bit, made to think I was watching one story, the Deckard/Rachael’s baby coming to consciousness, while actually I was watching a different story, a random replicant’s radicalization--I did like that the real baby was not... a total success as a model. Like, Wallace will have a hard time creating replicants who can replicate. And the replicants will have a hard time using Ana to lead their army. You would expect the first known child of a replicant and human (or replicant and replicant, as I think the case is) to be a little off in some way. And she is! Her immune system is so bad she has to live in a single room for nearly her entire life. That seemed...about right, yeah.
I liked how the movie expanded on the aesthetic of the first: MORE rainy urban California, MORE big glowing holographic advertisements, but also MORE Earth dystopias, dystopian farms, dystopian irradiated Las Vegas, dystopian snow. The various holographic Vegas performances in Abandoned Vegas were particularly inspired. Also the gigantic dead-eyed Joi at the end was (depressing but) cool.
I liked K a lot. Like every other character, he didn’t get much to do emotionally.. but I was into following him through his extensively-long narrative, and I could see how he was changing, becoming less obedient and more human. Also, I do NOT think he died at the end. He was just being emo in the snow.
Mmm that might be it. I can’t think of any other thoughts currently though I’m sure I am forgetting stuff. I am very hungry though, so I am going to eat.

man it took me like, a month+ to watch the next movie in the thor mcu franchise but
avengers (2012):
- wowowow what a classic!!! it sucks that the director never turned out to be the quality human being we thought him to be (he was the chosen one) but man it really was such a great movie, still the greatest avengers title movie in the whole whole whole damn franchise. like just the feeling of largeness and excitement and drum roll and and such classic lines, such great quotable lines!!!
- lots of really cheesy comic book ones too!!! it's hard not to cringe but you gotta bear it, knowing the history of these characters lmao
- oh man i love me some classic avengers jokes
- and just the cut scenes and the scene transitions building up one after the other! particularly in the part before loki boards the helicarrier
- man that movie had like so many potential points for loki's character development for iw and a4! (i am now positively convinced he's coming back from the grave and the flashback in some way or form in a4) it made such a huge deal about loki learning so much about the tesseract and other worlds and stuff on the first half of the film and we never got to see that in play yet, did we? still holding out hope it comes up in a4
- the true mvps are him, tony stark who has all the best scenes, bruce banner who has all the best lines and nuances and nat romanoff who i miss??? she was so good here, idk why we never saw this nat anymore. or maybe we did i just...never paid attention but she was so good here i really missed her
- i'm laughing at how much respect bruce just lost for the hulk in a span of 8 years
- thor was so surprisingly stiff???? like i never saw the light before but can now totally understand why chris was so frustrated. he's like thor's cape but the new laundry guy overstarched it
- when nat shared her story to loki tho i was still screaming, "no you don't share your vulnerability to the captive criminal YOU DON'T—siiiiighhh nat"
- unpopular opinion 1: nat misunderstood loki's plan. she thought loki's plan was to unleash just the hulk so loki was like uhhhh what? when she exited the scene
- unpopular opinion 2: loki's plan was and always has been to get the avengers to fight each other exactly like tony said and imma say he did it by magic. exhibit a, bruce squeezing the part between his eyes after loki passes. exhibit b, tony doing the same after their team squabble with the sfx to boot. could be bc of the mind stone but could have also been loki tapping into the mind stone. see: exhibit a. also: thor 2011 hidden ending and his power roster, one entry being hypnosis.
- unpopular opinion 3: nick fury asking thor what he was prepared to do was nick fury asking thor if he was prepared to torture loki into giving up the tesseract. interesting to note: the next scene was loki telling nat he was expecting her to come to him as a balm after he's been tortured to hell and back
- interesting also to note was the chitauri bemoaning that earth could not be "ruled". dk if this is a continuity issue or thanos just went "nm about ruling them let's just kill em"
- loki called the battle "glorious, not lengthy" but it got a bit lengthy to me tbh

“so i have taken some time to digest my feelings on the new movie but before i dive into spoilers i loved almost all of it. there were definitely some things that disappointing me but overall i thought it was pretty fucking fantastic. 
if you wanna discuss message me!!! 
SPOILER WARNING UNDER THE CUT:
-to start from the beginning, the relationship between bill and georgie almost had me tearing up from the get go. so unbelievably sweet and genuine.
-the interaction between georgie and pennywise was AMAZING but i didnt really like the cgi on when georgie gets pulled into the sewer drain. it was maybe 2 seconds long i just thought it looked weird. also wished it was a bit more gory but thats just my personal taste. overall, incredible scene pennywise was amazing
-richie and eddie stole the show by far for me. they were as close to perfect as i think you’d get, followed by bill. i thought ben, mike, and stan were all great but needed more screen time. sophia played bev super well but honestly i dont like bev all that much and the movie just solidified that for me LOL
-with bev i think they tried way too hard to make her like “im not like the other girls!!!!!” and theres nothing in the world that annoys me more. but sophia was great
-like literally richie and eddie. they were SO FUCKING GOOD and absolutely hilarious. also they had several cute scenes together soooo :) (NOTHING MAJOR dont expect much but definitely some solid scenes and tiny moments)
-although i gotta say, lots of richie comforting eddie which was awesome. hugging, joking around, banter, and genuine concern for each other and comfort. like richie and eddie hugged at the end just the two of them, and richie rubbing eddies arm and hugging him when he got scared? pure
-also eddie bought richie ice cream. also pure. richie also thought he was seeing eddie when he first walked into the clown room
-god bill just felt so genuine and his pain was so... ow. like this poor kid is constantly on the verge of tears it made my heart hurt for him
-pennywise was absolutely fucking fantastic wowowow. funny but totally fucking terrifying, and the shit they did with the teeth on him was SO COOL and creepy af
-i thought henry was AMAZING as well so so so disturbing. i wish the other bullies got a bit more screentime though tbh they had no lines except for patrick having like 1
-small character but EDDIES MOM WAS PERFECT. wish we got to see richies home life :/// i was surprised we didnt since richie mentioned it but there was 0 i was sad about it
-i thought beverly’s encounter with the blood was SO FUCKING COOL AND GROSS. also her interactions with her dad were so sleezy and gross but also well done
-perhaps my favorite interaction was pennywise using georgie as a puppet. totally chilling and disturbing
-”ITS A GAZEBO”
-lots of dick jokes and jokes about fucking eddies mom from richie
-i teared up when stan was alone in the sewers and gets attacked and is crying saying they left him there alone
-i also teared up during the oath
-BUT THE ONLY PART THAT MADE ME FULL ON CRY WAS BILL SEEING GEORGIE IN THE SEWERS. WOW THAT FUCKED ME UP I WAS CRYING
-ben and bev kiss and its dumb and cheesy LOL SORRY i do like their relationship tho with their inside jokes
-bill and bev was fine but i just didnt really care about their romance story tbh hahahah
-SORELY dissapointed with the leper scene. one of my fav scenes in the book (and such an important thing for developing eddie’s character) but it totally fell short for me in the movie. oh well
-overall i thought it was pretty great. standouts for sure were eddie, richie, GEORGIE OMG, pennywise, and henry. although i dont think anyone at all did poorly everyone did pretty great
-def some flaws but overall i liked it a lot. i wanna watch it again and see if my opinion changed on anything though

top ten songs you’ve been listening to recently
Thanks @xyalovegood for tagging me! I’m so late on this but it’s fineee oops. Anyway I’m also going to do what Ruby did and limit myself to one song per artist. (also this is in no order whatsoever)
1. “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” by Creedence Clearwater Revival. I could listen to this song on a one hour loop. I just love the guitar, the emotion, the overall sound, everything.
2. Gashina by SUNMI. Wowowow so catchy and I just HAVE to attempt the gun dance (1,2) every time the chorus comes on like it’s not even an option at this point. 
3. Nothing Left For You by Sam Smith. I love the newest album and this one just...struck me, I think. Also wow don’t listen to hours of Sam Smith, especially when you have a lot of feels. Tears. Also I’m seeing him in concert!!! There will be more tears then. 
4. Sé Preparo by Ozuna. I’ve been listening to a lot of Reggaeton lately, like Ahora Dice, Que Va, Perro Fiel, El Amante, etc. It’s a great genre, and you should check it out. 
5. Renegade by Styx. Such a good song. That’s pretty much all I can say. 
6. Sleepover by Hayley Kiyoko. Honestly you could switch this one out with Curious and Feelings too but I’m trying to stick to my rule. It’s just,,,so relatable. Crushes are hard man. But Hayley Kiyoko helps. (Go support her new song “Curious” and upcoming first full album, Expectations!)
7. Young and Menace by Fall Out Boy. This one is really different but I really like the kind of sound but also chaos that ensues. 
8. Change Up by Seventeen. This music video is so fun and colorful and I really like it. I like Seventeen’s other songs as well, but this one I’ve just been listening to lately because it’s fun.
9. The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. A Good Song. Just a really good song. My cousins, while high, declared it “the best rock song ever made.” I, while sober and clear of mind and having never used drugs, will declare it a song you should listen to. Please turn up your volume in the middle-ish part because the bass comes in slowly and THAT IS THE BEST PART SO DO NOT MISS IT (I think it’s about 3 min in). 
10. DNA, Spring Day, Mic Drop, Intro: Serendipity, I Need U, Not Today, Blood Sweat and Tears, MAMA, Go Go, Intro: Boy Meets Evil, BTS Cypher 4 (song here and performance u need to see here)
Ha, you thought I could choose one BTS song? I’ve been listening to BTS ALL THE TIME LATELY (blame Ruby herself, in part, and follow her BTS sideblog, @get-out-of-my-face-you-spinach) 
I will tag @songbirdsbooks @lotsoffiction @malorey-ethster @its-rebekah-not-rebecca and @fairylightadventures (I always feel bad tagging ppl like I won’t be sad if you don’t do this!! Pls only do it if you want to!)
