Y/N had gotten a little giddy feeling in her stomach again when Harry had asked her to go for a coffee date. Not at her shop, but somewhere where they could talk and also be seen together. Just a nice little coffee date prompted by Jeff. This would be their first time actually hanging out on their own, it made her nervous in a good way. She’d actually get to talk to him and get to know him if he wasn’t so damn closed off. Y/N knew he’d probably be asking more questions about her, but whatever made him more comfortable. 

She showed up to the address he had given her right on time, having spotted him sitting in the corner of the coffee shop with a book. Y/N made sure to ask him about that later. He looked really cute and comfortable, casual Harry. It made her smile. 

“Hey, you.” Y/N smiled widely, genuinely excited to see him.

Harry had been nervous. Harry made the decision to try and be nicer to Y/N. So far, she hadn’t bitten at any money grabbing or fame opportunities. And while that made him scared about what the real motive was? He felt that it could be safe to be on a casual friend basis with her. She couldn’t get too close though. Not when he still dreamed about grabbing her throat and forcing her to her knees so she could suck him. Yeah. He had tried to work on that until he realized that he had to just accept it and try not to think about it too much. Thankfully today she wore a cute outfit that didn’t have her tits out. He couldn’t speak properly when they were. He respected women— of course he did. But Y/N really, really got inside his head. 

“Hi.” He closed the book and stood up, knowing it would be polite to hug her. Not that he was excited about it. He wasn’t... nope.

Y/N wrapped her arms around him and was bold enough to kiss his cheek, thinking that was appropriate. “How are you? How’s your week been?” She asked genuinely curious about how he was doing since the dinner. Of course she couldn’t find out any specifics, Harry wouldn’t let her. She had grown accustomed to him shutting her out so she sort of just expected it now. She waited for him to answer before she went to order herself a coffee and a cheese and tomato panini for lunch because she was a tad bit hungry. Y/N refused to let him pay, giving him her example of a stern look. “You paid for dinner, let me.” She pouted, just wanting to be self sufficient. 

Once they had gotten all their food bits sorted and sat down, Y/N felt the giddiness kick in. He was just so fucking handsome. She had trouble wrapping her mind around it still. To the whole world he was the most desirable bachelor and he picked her. She felt her ego inflate a little at that idea of power.

“Well.. I’ve been recording. I’m excited about the new album.” Harry said shyly. He didn’t know if she would care about it or not but so far she hadn’t given him reason to think otherwise. She had asked about it before. However, it was weird. She again insisted on paying for her own food. Wasn’t taking handouts. And it made him feel a bit more comfortable with her. Y/N was just very genuine seeming and he was confused as to what he should be thinking and feeling all the time. His mind was still split, but letting himself talk to her. “Want people to like it, but I want to like it most of all. But how is the bakery? Harry prompted, taking a bite of his own lunch. “I know that you probably have to get up early.”

Y/N’s eyes lit up, “you have?” She asked even though he had just said so. She was screaming internally because she’s been waiting for him to just do something. All the fans had no idea where he was whenever he wasn’t touring, and now suddenly they were getting content because— it made sense now. “I think people will love whatever you do, and I’m not just saying that.” She said honestly, “you’re very good at catering to large audiences and well, people love that you just do what you do.” Y/N let herself open up as a fan a little bit, show him that she actually did care about his music. 

Y/N took a bite of her panini and nodded her head, finishing chewing before speaking. “Oh yeah... 3:30 every work day.” She chuckled, “gotta make sure everything’s prepped and ready. We are thinking of getting more staff, but it’s not in the budget yet so we are hustling.”

Harry was surprised she seemed to know anything about his work. It was a pleasant surprise though. Her compliment was sitting nice even if she was just acting about it. However it seemed pretty genuine if you’d asked him. He winced at her answer for the time she woke up, though. That was rough. 

“Christ. 3:30 is early.” He hissed. “Thought I was an early bird at 6:30, 7.” Obviously a joke, but also a seedling of truth. Harry was up very often with his sleep problems, usually only getting 3 hours at a time. It’s why he had naps. Sleeping all night long didn’t work well. “I think you’ll get there.” He encouraged. If only he could trust her enough to be like this in private. He was just so terrified of being hurt and led on again and again. The past trauma of Camille and Kendall weighed heavily on him and he knew not many others in the world would understand his heartache.

“It is super early. I hate it, but I’m committed to the quality of our baked goods. Might think of some better methods for preparing. Maybe get up at 5 instead. That would be much better.” Y/N chuckled, taking a sip of her coffee. “Thanks babe.” She responded without thinking, genuinely feeling like she could say that. They happened to be sitting in a corner which was probably something Jeff didn’t want, but if Harry felt more comfortable in a corner that’s fine. The place seemed relatively busy, not too much that they couldn’t talk, but not too little and there were people who didn’t notice. 

“But besides being a baker, I do enjoy music and movies and traveling. And you’ve done all three of those things, well, four I should say.” Y/N teased, hoping that the little bits of information that she knew didn’t seem too creepy. She didn’t want to give away just how big of a fan she was, but wanted to be relatable.

She knew? That impressed Harry too. So she did research. At least she wouldn’t be thrown in blind if people or fans asked her stuff one day. It is a little reassuring. 

“Yeah? That’s cool. Uh— I like those things too. Sometimes traveling is a lot though.” He admitted. “S’a lot when you’re super tired and have shows every night. But I mean, it’s nice. I get to see more places than I got to beforehand, it’s definitely far calmer.” Y/N seemed to understand, nodding at his words. “Where do you want to travel to?” This was going okay right? It wasn’t too personal. Just enough that it was okay if someone else heard it. He wasn’t disinterested. In fact he craved more answers from her but had to calm him the hell down. Y/N was the type that seemed to be an open book but he was sure that there was more to her than that. Things she was hiding.

For sure.

“I’m sure... but you travel for fun sometimes no?” Y/N said with a small hum, she knew he went to Jamaica for the album but also to relax. He went to Italy and to Japan. All places she loved dearly. Y/N of course would let him speak about the places he’s been himself. Maybe he would tell her something she didn’t already know.

“Greece. I’m a big history nerd and I geeked out when I went to Italy. But yeah, Greece, Egypt, and Japan.” Y/N told him, giving him a little insight on her interests. She thought it was going relatively well, still to small talk for her liking but they couldn’t really get deep over coffee could they? “I love going to Russia. My family is from there, so we go back to visit family friends every couple of years.” She told him, knowing he had never been and she had always wanted him to. “If you ever have the opportunity to go, I highly recommend it.”

Lord... if she could speak Russian Harry may cream his damn pants. He had a thing for different languages and accents. He wasn’t sure how it had started or when but he had a thing for them and they turned him on so of course she could probably speak another one. 

“That’s cool.’I’ve been to Japan a lot. S’my favorite place.” Harry loved London too, but Japan was just relaxing. No paparazzi up his ass. People far more respectful of him and his privacy. “I like Jamaica to. America can be cool. You’ll probably end up coming with me to America sooner or later. New York or LA. I prefer LA. New York is kind of chaotic and it can be really cold and bitter in the winters and it’s all concrete so the summers are brutal. But LA is cool. I have a place there.” He was giving her that little bit of information. 

“I agree, New York is a bit shit. Visited some friends there and it was just… not what I expected? London is perfect to me, I’m biased.” Y/N shrugged, pausing for a moment when he mentioned bringing her with him to America. She had to remind herself it was part of the contract. “That would be fun. I haven’t been back to America in a while.” Y/N said and took another bite of her sandwich. 

“Can you speak Russian?” Harry had to ask, he shouldn’t have even done it because if she said yes he was going to have to think about that every time he was jerking off— which was a lot lately.

Y/N was waiting for him to ask. She knew he had a thing for accents and different languages, she had a feeling he would thoroughly enjoy this bit of information and she would run with it. He had a massive fan base in Russia that had been neglected and she was excited that she’d get to represent for them too. 

“Да я говорю по—русски” Yes I speak Russian.Y/N answered fluently. “Ты наверно не думал, да?” You didn’t think, yes?

It took every bit of self control Harry had to not drag her into the bathroom and bend her over the sink. Make her speak it while he fucked her deep and had her come apart on him. That was one thing she could do to wreck him. His eyes darkened at the little smile at her sentence's end. She spoke it perfectly accented too. And Harry would be thinking all about that tonight. Half of him wanted to keep her on speed dial and have her talk as he got off. It was that much of a thing for him. 

“Oh.. that’s cool. I try and uh... I try to learn languages with every place I go to. Just a little.” He was annoyed in his head. She hadn’t even showed her tits and his cock was twitching in his pants and wanting out. Harry swore that he hadn’t jerked off this much in his whole life, but Y/N has gotten him to the point of no return.

Y/N could tell by the look in his eyes that he really liked it, smirking at him because she had found the one thing she could use against him anytime she wanted. He would never actually fuck her, but she could at least get him turned on. That was already a win in Y/N’s book. 

“That’s cute.” Y/N giggled, “I can teach you some Russian if you’d like?” She was asking more for herself. She desperately wanted him to try and speak it. For years she’d been wanting one direction to tour in Russia just so Harry could try and speak Russian. “And then, you can book a tour date in Russia and be prepared. Wow them with your skills.” She smiled, genuinely wanting him to say yes to it. There was always something really sexy about how good Harry was at accents and languages. He was a smart and talented man and she would do anything to have him balls deep in her. Too bad he wanted nothing to do with her when they were in private and he was only talking to her now because he had to.

“I would love to learn a little bit.” Harry admitted. “I like languages a lot. It’s always been intriguing to me.” He still couldn’t get over the damn woman sitting there and talking to him in Russian with the smirk on her face. Did she know it aroused him thoroughly? Because it absolutely did. More than anything. “We have been looking into tour dates for Russia, actually. It’s been difficult to plan out and timing is difficult but I’d really like to go.” He knew Y/N found it good that he did because she absolutely lit up at the confirmation that he was indeed trying for it. “I know that you’d be a good tutor. I like hearing you speak it.” Harry let that little thing slip when he hadn’t meant to but, oh well. She would know that he was into the way it sounded and maybe use it to her advantage. However... if it was whispered into his ear at the right setting, he’d lose his whole cool.

“Oh my god! That’s great wow.” Y/N smiled brightly, “okay, I’ll teach you something new every week.” She said, deciding they could work on it as their relationship progressed. Plus, Harry would actually want to talk to her if she spoke Russian to him. She found the loophole. Y/N blushed, the smirk returning to her face for a bread moment before she thought about what she wanted to teach him. “What would you like to learn how to say?” She asked curiously, “something that would come in handy on stage? Or just general conversation things?” This would be fun for the both of them and to anyone listening in, it was a casual chat between people that were dating. From the corner of her eyes Y/N could see a few people had noticed Harry was there, but they seemed to respect the fact that he was with her which was strange. They didn’t want to interrupt because it was clear they were on a date.

“Uh... basic, I think.” Harry gave her a quirked little smile. Y/N looked so excited about it too. He was honestly happy to learn but wanted to hear her talk more first. So he sat there and let her speak it to him while he got honest to god hard in his pants. His cock ached when she went over basic phrases with him and he thanked god above that he had his jacket, otherwise he would be giving the world a show. It was a weird thing to be aroused by and he knew it but... there was the way Y/N sounded saying Russian words and how she had her voice a bit huskier and spoke quiet when she did that would have him thinking about it at intimate hours. Would it be so bad to take her to his car and fuck her? Yes. Yes— that would be very bad, Harry's brain. He knew that. Still, he wanted to. Y/N was having fun giving him the phrases to repeat back, and she flushed a little when he gave them a shot.

“Okay so, if you want to say ‘hi my name is Harry’ you’d say ‘previet menya zahvoot Harry’” Y/N started, chuckling a bit at his amused face. “I think that one is pretty simple.” She was getting far too excited about this, she had been waiting to hear him speak Russian for years. “‘How are you’ is also easy it’s, ‘kak di—la’ and to say ‘I’m good’ you’d say, ‘oo menya f’suwa harasho’” Y/N smiled, knowing it was a lot to take in but she slowed it down for him and guided him through it. He was a really quick learner and it made her horny as well hell  just listening to him. 

The hot part about this was that she was correcting him and he was saying things and just giving her these looks. There was a tension building up that Y/N was positive other people could see. Y/N could truly spend all her time sitting here talking to Harry, too bad they’d have to go back to barely speaking. Y/N was hopeful that maybe he would be okay with talking to her now that they had hung out on their own and had a bit of their own fun? Maybe this would be the start of something new and exciting.

“This is hard. I love it though.” Russian was definitely harder than Italian or Spanish which Harry knew bits of. But it was hot. Watching her mouth round over the sounds and her talk quieter and giggle at his mispronunciations.. it was incredibly arousing and he knew that he had to stop. He may mess his damn pants. “Thank you.” He smiled at her, taking her smaller hand and holding it in his. He would tell himself that it was so people could see and take photos but he knew that deep down, he just wanted to hold her soft little hand. Feel how warm it was. “Hm. You’re very warm.” He commented. Where else was she warm? Harry bet there were tons of places that he could find that would be even warmer than this. “I can’t wait to impress the Russian crowd with ‘previet menya zahvoot Harry’” He teased. “Honestly though... helps me connect with them that much more. Some don’t speak much English. And it’s cool to be able to make them feel good.”

Y/N felt like she was on fire, genuinely building tension with Harry that she knew no one could deny. Not even Harry if he protested. There was something about her speaking a different language that just opened up a new avenue they hadn’t been down before. If they weren’t careful they’d never come back. 

“I think it’s really sweet. You definitely do make their lives when you try and connect with them. It’s a step farther than most.” She reminded him. Harry was really good to his fans and really did love them. It made her heart swell because she was technically one of them, but he didn’t really know that. She wished she could tell him but part of her thought he wouldn’t be cool with it as even Jeff hasn’t told him yet. Y/N moved her other hand to play with his rings, tracing over them slowly whilst they spoke. Maybe she was desperate for touch, but god did it feel nice to just hold his hand and have him look at her the way he was looking at her.

Harry had to stop— really, he knew that much. But he couldn’t. Not when Y/N really had him by the balls when she spoke like that. Her hand felt good and he couldn’t deny that physically? There were tons of things he should be doing, but he was thinking about laying her over the table and licking from between her thighs all the way up to her tits. That would be lovely. 

“I hate to cut this, love. I’ve got to go to the studio.” He said quietly. He really did hate to cut this. He wanted to talk more and listen to her and watch her eyes roll over him. Harry didn’t think Y/N was faking her attraction to him. “I’ll get to see you tomorrow morning at the bakery, yeah?” He squeezed over her hand reassuringly. If only he could truly trust her. It hasn’t been that long yet, though. He couldn’t do that. Harry needed to keep his guard up. This heavy flirting was okay right now but he couldn’t let it get that bad alone. He was going to be okay alone but when she aroused him he was going to have to back off.

Y/N frowned a bit when he said he had to go but understood. He was busy and well, she’d just go back home and relax the rest of the day. Maybe she would go online and see what people were saying? She’d been MIA on her fan account and people probably connected the dots by now.

“Alright, I’ll walk out with you.” She spoke, getting up and slipping on her jacket. London was quite chilly this time of year but not too cold. You could wear what you wanted as long as you have a bit of a jacket to wear just in case. Y/N led the way out of the coffee shop and he followed, she could sense eyes on her already. There weren’t any paps outside but there were a few fans that took pictures on their phones. “I’ll see you tomorrow then.” Y/N hummed as she turned to look at him, waiting for him to respond before going in for a hug as usual. Y/N was giddy after their little date today, she wasn’t sure how he felt about her. She was convinced today was genuine but for all she knows it could be a lie.

Harry hugged her back, kissing the top of her head for extra measure. Mainly because that deep part of him wanted his lips on her anywhere he could get and that was a safe spot. It made him feel so off because she fit right in his arms. Perfectly nestled there, her face in his chest, it was perfect for him. She would have to go up on her tiptoes to kiss him or he would have to bend down but he likes that. Harry felt weird going to leave. One last squeeze, he gave her a parting smile. 

“Course. Please put extra lemon bars in there for me, sweetheart.” 

Y/N hummed at the kiss on the forehead, pulling back with a wide smile. “Of course I can babe, have a good day. Can’t wait to hear all about it.” She spoke to him, desperately wanting to lean in and kiss him but she couldn’t. Not yet anyway. She made her way back to her flat, feeling really smiley and giddy. She took precaution to make sure people didn’t really notice her. Y/N was just thankful her building had multiple entrances. 

------

Online, fans were freaking the fuck out. A video a fan took was circulating as well as photos of them inside the cafe. 

‘Oh my god look at him. He NEVER does this. He’s holding her hand, and he’s looking so deeply at her I can’t—’

‘The way he’s holding her. My god I want to die.’

‘THE KISS ON THE FOREHEAD... PLEASE WHO IS THIS GIRL I WANT WHAT SHE HAS!!’

‘Wait.. who is this girl? She isn’t famous right?’

Y/N logged on to see all the photos and it made her gooey. Harry was looking at her with those loved up eyes and they just looked so happy together. These poor fans were lapping it all up. Y/N desperately wanted to comment, but she chose not to. She’d wait for Jeff’s directions. If the fans knew she had a fan account it would only cause them to look back and see the years worth of Harry obsessed tweets she had. Y/N wished she could share the feeling of hugging Harry with every single fan on her timeline. They deserved it.

Harry logged in to look too. They were taking a break at the studio and he was genuinely shocked at how he looked at her. He played the part well. Almost too well. She did too, to be fair. They both looked so loved up and happy and Harry's smile was devilish in the way that people probably could tell he was incredibly attracted to her. He could tell, anyways. But he hadn’t seen photos of himself like this before— never allowed himself to be open with someone. 

The pictures of their hug are what got him though. It looked natural. Very natural. Like it was meant to happen. If he had seen them on the street as an outsider he would probably coo internally. Holy fuck. He sat back on the couch and threw his hand over his eyes. What the hell was he going to do now? He needed to be nice to her, but he didn’t know how to do that and also not being her back to his place and fuck her for a good 3 days straight.

I can’t remember. Like I said, it’s close to bedtime where I’m at and boi, it’s hard to concentrate right now.

Do you always order the same thing at a restaurant or order something different each time?

I order the same. 

What’s something you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t yet?

This sounds awful, but I’ve always wanted to try ecstasy. I have buddies who’ve taken it and say, if you do it right, the first time is pretty bomb. 

If you could learn to do anything right now, what would it be?

Singing. I can’t carry a tune.

Favorite physical feature about yourself?

My eyes.

Least favorite physical feature about yourself?

My wide hip/waist ratio. If my waist was thinner I wouldn’t mind as much.

What’s one amazing thing you did that nobody was around to see?

OKAY. I scored a strike on Wii bowling while i was on the toilet one time. Two rooms away and not even looking at a screen. Just using my heart and determination and it was SUPER COOL AND I WISH PEOPLE COULD HAVE SEEN THOSE SKILLS.

If you could change your height, would you?

Yes. Everyone is a good foot taller than me. So I would most definitely want a few more inches.

What’s something you would rate 10/10?

Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s Character concept for Sephiroth. The eyes, the height, the hair. WOW. In love.

Heels or flats?

Heels

What’s something you wish you had more knowledge about?

Politics. I want to get more involved but every time I do I get so confused.

Would you want to be famous?

I wouldn’t mind. But I value my private life.

What’s something you would get arrested for?

Well I already almost got arrested for eating tacos in a closed park at 3 am. So maybe that.

What’s your spirit animal?

A cat. 

What’s the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to you?

The fact that I graduated high school. I was developing anxiety and literally had no idea what the frick was happening with me and no one told me what it was. So I ended up skipping loads of school for that reason. 

Are you the type to have an organized mess, or no mess at all?

Organized mess. Or just a mess. 

Do you tend to make decisions based on the past, present, or future?

The future.

Are you a planner or a more spontaneous person?

Planner. I hate when things are sprung on me last minute. I have to emotionally prep up before a social event so 5-10 business days are needed.

Thoughts on the oxford comma?

I was taught to use it, but it’s literally so useless? I found myself either not using it or just doing it on instinct. So in one story you could probably find multiple instances where I use it and where I don’t use it, maybe in the same paragraph. I just do whatever fits that moment I guess.

What do you hope never changes?

My squad. I love them to pieces and it would break my heart if at some point they’d want to split.

How would you celebrate your 100th birthday?

Something extremely dangerous like skydiving or zip lining across a canyon. 

[thorne93]

As I read through what your favorite romantic cliches are, I couldn't help but want to ask what your least favorite ones are, the ones you hate, the ones you detest. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

Ooooohhh boy these are pretty easy for me, lol. Sadly...

Enemies to lovers. I know, I know. “But Thorne, you listed the bickering-to-loving couple” yes, I did. But to me, the couple like in 10 Things I Hate about you -- they aren’t enemies. Kat thinks she’s above everyone, and Patrick just sort of hates everyone. That isn’t really directed at each other. The Ugly Truth -- shes professional, rigid, and confident. He’s funloving, and a little immature... Think of it like yin-yan. I like when two very different people can come together and compliment each other. Like my parents. They were very different, but where one shined, the other had a great skill somewhere else. They filled in the gaps, if you will.... But shit like “I just loathe them”, or being downright hateful to each other isn’t cool. Like... You can’t start a relationship where you pretty much couldn’t stand each other.... 

Stumbling into each other/being clutsy and finding each other... Let me be clear, let’s say person a trips and falls, maybe they spill their coffee, or their files to everywhere, or maybe someone slams into them, and person B comes along to help, I like that. It shows good character right off the bat - Person B is a helpful person to strangers.... I don’t like Person A and B slamming into each other and somehow its... supposed to be cute? I think I don’t like it because I myself am not clumsy. I see in a lot of fics (especially SPN) about how the reader “hates wearing heels”... I don’t. I love heels. i think they’re sexy and powerful as fuck. I took ballet and tap as a child, entered numerous talent shows for dance, and I took professional dancing when I got older. Dance, grace, and beauty are things to be admired. Don’t get me wrong, my favorite shoes are combat boots and Converse... But I also don’t groan and roll my eyes at heels. I like grace, i like delicacy, i like “lady like” behavior. To me, the gawky, clumsy thing isn’t a turn on. I dont like the idea of a girl falling the fuck all over herself and a guy being like “oh, poor thing”.... A good example is the beginning to 50 shades of grey (besides EVERY OTHER PROBLEM with that story), Ana literally falls into Christians office with the “oh look at me im so clumsy bit”.... That shit would be very... bad as a first impression for anyone. (and if you are clumsy, that’s okay! I’m not saying you need to be some sort of ballet dancer, but using this as a device to seem cute, is immature to me.)

Giving up a dream for a significant other -- hell to the FUCK NO.... No, you don’t give up amazing opportunities for anyone. I know it’s hard. But either a) you love each other so much that they’ll be there when you get back (if someone has to travel for work ....or whatever) b) or you support their dream. It’s simple... I think I am really stringent on this because anything can happen. By anything, I mean, you can be super in love today, maybe this year, but in five years, maybe his secretary will turn his head, and meanwhile you gave up on your career to be with him. Or vice versa. He invested everything in you, and you leave him for someone else.  Maybe you two just fall out of love. Maybe tragedy strikes... So now I ask you, was giving up something that would help you financially with YOUR life a good move? Probably not... Don’t dictate your life for someone else... yeah, take them into consideration. If you’re married, don’t just move you’re whole family across the globe to better you’re career.... But like coming out of college and you’re unmarried, or you got a promotion that may require travel... fucking do it... 

Makeover and now she’s suddenly hot cliche -- just.... why??? 1) If she’s hot, why did she look like garbage in overalls? Hot is hot. put margot Robbie in a fucking burlap sack and that chick is still on fiiiiyyyaa... 2) Why do they always look like a different person? I realize me in casual clothes with no makeup is a little different to how I looked on my wedding day, but overall?? I look the same. So wtf...? 3) Is she suddenly going to have fashion sense? know how to do her hair? know how to dress? Because to me, if you had 0 fashion sense, just because someone makes you over, doesn’t mean you suddenly know how to put together a killer outfit, so how does that work?? Just too many weird things... also! Why would you want a guy that didn’t want you until you slapped on pretty lipstick and a push up bra??

Use someone to make your ex jealous -- again, WHY? He/she/they don’t want you.... so why are you fucking around with them? Why the hell are you wasting your time on someone who doesn’t want you? Plus it sort of wastes the person’s time who is helping you out. Like... Just... move on. Also, i really dont like it, if the person you’re using to help make the ex jealous, is someone you fall in love with... Idk to me I would be like “you’re hella unbalanced. You aren’t over your ex, and yet you’re in love with me..... soooo wth?”

“Shut up and kiss me” cliche -- the thing where you shut someone up by kissing them... It drives me up the wall. it’s rude. If my husband ever did that i would pull away and probably punch him. I dont know why. It’s just.... it’s important to let people talk and just shoving your mouth on them... like especially during a fight. When I’m mad, im MAD. I dont want to kiss. I don’t want us to lead to steamy sex. You have somehow fucked up my day/week/month/life, and now I’m mad, I’m expressing that I am displeased -- kissing me while i’m pissed will just make me more pissed, and make me wonder what the fuck is wrong with you to think that THAT was a good time to kiss me????

I think that’s.... it for now? I probably have more.... Damn, i am salty. What about you!? I’m cuuurrious! Thanks for asking lovely!!!!

Klaine Advent: Example

Summary: Kurt and Blaine’s daughter gets involved with some girls who are not setting the best example for her. 

Mornings were hectic for the Anderson-Hummels. With three teenagers trying to get ready for school at the same time, things often got crazy. “Guys! You better hurry. You’re going to be late.” Blaine yelled upstairs. He was frantically slapping together sandwiches and shoving them into brown paper bags. Kurt had long gone to work...some kind of button emergency at Vogue. Caleb, their fifteen year old son, came down first.

“Dad, can I have twenty dollars?” he asked.

“What do you need twenty dollars for?” Blaine asked, still frantically making sandwiches.

“The science club is getting t-shirts and I really want one.” the boy replied. Blaine, who was running out of time, whipped out his wallet and tossed it at his son.

“Here. Only twenty though.” he replied.

“Thanks Dad.” Caleb said, before going to the cabinet and grabbing a granola bar.

Blaine knew Caleb was a good kid. He was their low maintenance kid and didn’t often ask for things. His sisters on the other hand...they were another story. Penny came down next. She was frantically writing on a folder, obviously still trying to finish her homework. She sat the folder down and immediately went to the coffee pot and poured it into her travel mug.

“Pen, coffee is not breakfast.” Blaine scolded.

“I’m too nauseous.” the teen replied. “I have a huge physics test today and I’m so going to fail it.”

“Honey, you’ve studied for that test. You’ll do just fine.” Blaine told her as handed her a brown paper bag lunch. Penny had always been the overachiever. Her confidence level however didn’t match her skill level. He and Kurt tried to encourage her as much as they could, but ultimately Penny was her own worst enemy.

“Where the hell is Charlie? She’s going to make us late again!” Penny replied, as she fumbled through her backpack, looking for her car keys.

“Calm yourself down.” Charlie replied as she came down the stairs. “I’m ready.” Blaine took one look at his daughter and practically had a heartattack. She was wearing skin tight black jeans that had holes in the knees and a purple crop top that exposed a huge portion of her midriff. The worst thing however was the large diamond stud sticking out of her belly button.

“What on earth are you wearing?” Blaine asked, desperately trying to keep his cool.

“An outfit.” the fifteen year old replied.

“You better get your butt upstairs and change into something that covers you up. And, you better take that stud out of your belly button before your father sees it and has an aneurysm.”

“But Dad! This is cute and it’s what my friends are wearing!” Charlie screeched.

“I don’t give a damn what your friends are wearing. You are not going to school dressed like that. Now get your butt upstairs and change before you make yourself, and your brother and sister late for school.” “You suck! I hate you.” Charlie yelled before stomping upstairs. When she got there, there was a loud slam that the other three Anderson-Hummels assumed was her bedroom door. Blaine let out a long sigh. Charlie was the reason why he was already finding gray hairs on his head.

“She’s literally so dramatic. I’m surprised that she’s not biologically related to Aunt Rachel.” Caleb said quietly.

“And what’s that supposed to mean? I’m biologically related to Aunt Rachel.” Penny retorted.

“You know exactly what I mean. I don’t know how but somehow you turned out okay.” Caleb replied. Penny didn’t know whether or not to consider her brother’s comment a compliment or an insult. But right now, she didn’t really care. She had a physics test to take. She walked over to the bottom of the stairs.

“Charlie! Hurry up! You’re going to school not the Oscars!” Penny yelled.

“I’m coming.” Charlie replied. “I would have been ready if someone wasn’t so uptight.” she added, looking directly at Blaine.

“You are working on my last nerve, Charlie. If you’re not looking to get grounded, I would go and get in the car.” Blaine replied, gritting his teeth. The teenager rolled her eyes and began walking towards the front door. “Wait, is that my shirt?” Penny asked. “That is! Charlie what the hell??” She left the house while still continuing to yell at her sister.

“Well, this ought to be a fun car ride.” Caleb muttered as he picked up his backpack and followed after his sisters. After all three of the kids left, Blaine took a seat in the living room and let out a deep breath.

“These children are going to be the death of me…” he said to no one.

Later that day, Blaine called Kurt from the house. He really needed a break from the piece of music he was writing for his latest musical.

“Hello?” came Kurt’s voice. He sounded stressed.

“Hey honey,” Blaine said.

“Oh Blaine, it’s you.” Kurt replied. “What’s up?” “Just wanted to check in. Did the button emergency get resolved?” he asked.

“Yeah, we figured it out.” Kurt replied. “So how has your day been?”

“Great since the three monsters we call children left.” Blaine told him. “Your daughter is going to give me a heart attack.”

“Which one? And wait, why is she my daughter now that you’re clearly upset with her?” Kurt asked.

“Charlie.” Blaine replied. “She came downstairs dressed like a-a prostitute this morning. Also, did you know that she has her belly button pierced?”

“Her what?!?” Kurt screeched. Clearly, he had no idea about the belly button piercing either. “I’m gonna kill her Blaine.”

“Not if I kill her first.” Blaine replied. “What are you thinking? 2 weeks grounding.”

“Maybe 3.” Kurt added.

“Well, you get to tell her. I got the brunt of her tantrum this morning.” Blaine replied.

“Fine.” Kurt agreed. “I’m sure it’ll be the greatest part of my day.” he added sarcastically. “Well, I really have to go, babe.”

“Okay, I’ll see you at home tonight.” Blaine said. “Love you.”

“Love you too.” Kurt replied before hanging up the phone. Oh the joys of parenting…

Later that afternoon, all three kids got home from school. “Charlie, I wouldn’t go far.” Blaine said. “Papa’s going to be home soon and we need to talk to you.” “Great, just what I wanted.” Charlie replied. “A lecture...not like I get enough of those.”

“Maybe if you’d stop acting like a tramp you’d stop getting them.” Caleb told his sister.

“Oh shut up Caleb!” Charlie retorted. “Just because I’m not a goodie two shoes like you doesn’t mean I’m a tramp.” he yelled before running upstairs and once again slamming her door.

“What is going on with your sister?” Blaine asked. “She’s always been...a bit of a diva, but she’s gotten so out of hand.”

“She’s got these new friends. They’re the cool girls at school and I don’t think they’re setting the best example for her.” Caleb confessed.

“Are they bad kids?”

“Well their not good, Dad.” Blaine sighed. Great, this was all that he needed. As if on cue, Kurt opened up the front door and walked into the living room.

“Caleb, can you go upstairs and tell your sister to come downstairs?” Blaine asked.

“Sure. To the dragon’s lair I go.” the boy added before heading upstairs.

“So, our plan is three weeks grounding?” Kurt asked.

“Sounds reasonable.” Blaine replied. “Caleb said Charlie’s got some new friends that aren’t setting the best example for her.”

“Well, that’s interesting.” Kurt replied. “This child...I just can’t with her sometimes.” A few minutes later, Charlie came downstairs and flopped down on the couch, her arms crossed over her chest.

“Well, say it. How many weeks am I grounded for?” Charlie asked, rolling her eyes.

“3 weeks. No going out after school and no internet, unless it’s for school” kurt replied. “And you better get that attitude in check before I add another week. Also, you will take that jewelry out of your belly button and let it close. I don’t want to see it again.”

“Papa! I spent three months allowance on that.” Charlie screamed.

“Well, next time, you’ll think wiser about how you spend your money.” Blaine chimed in.

“You guys are the worst. You;’re so lame and annoying.”

“Keep pushing little girl.” Kurt threatened. “We can dole out more punishments.”

“You might as well. I can’t do anything right anyway.” Charlie replied before running back upstairs.  Kurt and Blaine were at a loss at what to do with that child. No matter how much they tried to talk to her, she just wouldn’t listen.

For the next few days, Charlie remained hostile and bitter towards them. However the breaking point came on Saturday night. Kurt and Blaine were both home cuddling on the couch watching a movie. All of a sudden, Blaine got a phone call. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and put it to his ear.

“Hello?” “Daddy…” came a terrified little voice.

“Charlie?”

“Daddy, I screwed up. I’m so sorry.” she cried.

“Honey, slow down. Take a deep breath.” Blaine coaxed as he sat up from Kurt’s grasp on the edge of the couch. Kurt sat up too, anxious to hear what was wrong.

“I-I went to this party with these girls.” Charlie cried. “I snuck out and I’m so sorry. There’s people drinking and doing drugs and I-I don’t want to be here. Daddy, please come get me. I’m so sorry!”

“Okay, hold on. Give me the address.” Blaine said as he motioned for Kurt to get a piece of paper and a pen.

“Its 3456 West Boulevard in the Bronx.” Blaine wrote furiously on the sheet of paper as his daughter talked.

“Jeez, okay. Honey, I’ll be there soon.” Blaine told her.

“Daddy, please hurry.” Charlie cried and then the phone turned off.

“What’s wrong?” Kurt asked immediately.

“Charlie snuck out to a party with those great new friends of hers and she’s scared and wants us to get her. The party is in the Bronx for god's sake.” Blaine rambled off as he grabbed his coat and car keys.

“I’m coming with you.” Kurt announced. Within minutes the two men were in the car and on their way to the Bronx to get their daughter. When they got to the address, there were people outside on the porch smoking what the two men assumed was weed and beer bottles littered the front lawn. Blaine sent Charlie a text and soon enough, she came running out of the house. She ran directly into Blaine’s arms.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry.” Charlie cried into her father’s chest. Blaine held onto her tightly and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

“It’s okay. Get in the car and we’ll talk about this at home okay.” Charlie nodded and wiped her tears and got in the backseat. The ride home was completely silent. When they got home, Charlie sat down on the couch and Kurt and Blaine sat on either side of her.

“Honey, what were you thinking?” Kurt asked softly. This time, his voice wasn’t angry, just very concerned.

“I-I just wanted them to like me.”

“Who?” Blaine asked.

“These two girls, Tasha and Gwen. They’re cool at school and they wanted to be friends with me. They told me the party would be okay. They didn’t say that people would be drinking or that there would be drugs.” Charlie confessed.

“Honey, no friendship is worth compromising what kind of person you are.” Kurt told her. “Your Dad and I know that you’re a good girl. You just need to make better choices.”

“I know. You’re right.” Charlie admitted. “I’ll be better. I promise.” Kurt pressed a kiss to his daughter’s head and Blaine gave her a hug. “I think I’m going to take a shower and head to bed.”

“Okay honey.” Kurt replied.

“Thanks for rescuing me.” she added with a smile. “I guess you guys are pretty cool and pretty good examples for me.”

“Thanks Charlie.” Blaine replied. “You’re still grounded though.” “4 weeks.” Kurt added.

“Fair enough.” Charlie replied before heading upstairs. After their daughter disappeared upstairs, Kurt and Blaine gave one another a smile. She might be dramatic and not make the best choices sometimes, but she was still their baby and they didn’t know what they would do without her.

Tsumugi Shirogane Free Time Event 6

CHAPTER 1 SPOILERS

Timestamped video link

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): Speaking of it... Shirogane-san, how did you start making cosplay outfits?

Tsumugi Shirogane: Huh-!? Are you really prying into that?

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): Ah, no need to talk about it if don’t want to.

Tsumugi Shirogane: It’s not really on a “I don’t want to talk about it” level... It’s more that it’s quite embarrassing...

Shuuichi Saihara (thinking): So, Shirogane-san blushes a little and takes a thoughtful pose.

Tsumugi Shirogane: Hmmmmmm, where do I start?

Ever since I was little, I... loved cool clothes and cute clothes, see.

So, as I really admired the clothes I saw in anime, I started waking up early on Sundays only to watch the best shows on TV.

Then, I forgot how exactly I found out about it, but I discovered cosplaying exists...

When that happened, I secretly worked my hand in trying to make my favorite character’s clothes.

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): You made that immediately? That’s impressive...

Tsumugi Shirogane: No, I knew starting from scratch is not an easy task, I just modified a similar piece I already had.

But, it was pretty nice that I made it and all but, there’s no way I had any courage to go to an con.

Despite that, I made it, so I want someone to see it!

Can you understand this feeling...?

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): I can. You worked your best to make it

Tsumugi Shirogane: I know, I know, right-?! Humans souls crave for the limelight!

With that in mind, I mustered my courage and posted some pics online.

T-thinking back, I’m scared at how ignorant I was... I can’t believe I exposed clothes like that so boldly. That’s a past I want to forget...!

Shuuichi Saihara (thinking): Shirogane-san is in amazing agony... I understand the feeling in this case too...

Tsumugi Shirogane: The anime in question only had really kind fans, so no one said anything bad to me...

On that note, there was this cosplayer who praised me saying “That’s pretty well made for someone’s first work”, you see.

I thought “Well, that’s just flattery, even if it’s for me”.

But, see! She called me saying “I want to wear your costume, let’s go to a con together”!

I got really surprised! She was a really famous cosplayer on that fandom!

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): R-really... And then... did you go to the con?

Tsumugi Shirogane: Of course! It was even more fun than imagined! I couldn’t believe a place like that existed outside of my dreams!

Shuuichi Saihara (thinking): Shirogane-san’s eyes are sparkling. She really had a great time.

Tsumugi Shirogane: Thinking back, that person might have been actually an evil soul working on a villanous plan to drag the aspiring cosplayer rookies into this hell.

Well, she did a great job dragging me down though. I’m thankful for that.

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): And that was your first step on your way to becoming a “Super High School Level”, wasn’t it?

Tsumugi Shirogane: Yeah, if that person hadn’t invited, I wouldn’t be who I am today.

Even to this date, she is my number one cospartner. I want to get out of here soon and make new stuff for her to wear...

Oh no... why do I keep ruining the mood?!

Whaaaaa, I’m embarrassed... Sorry for making you listen to my simply boring story...

Dialogue option 1: I’d listen to you anytime

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking):  I’d listen to you anytime. Your stories are fresh and interesting, Shirogane-san.

Tsumugi Shirogane: Whaaa!?

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): W-what? Did I say something bad?

Tsumugi Shirogane: I never heard this line being side outside of a shoujo manga or a otoge...!

Shuuichi Saihara (thinking): ...Her eyes are sparkling for some reason?

Tsumugi Shirogane: Saihara-kun, if you were an otoge character, you wouldn’t be the most popular, but would have a very loyal fandom.

Shuuichi Saihara (thinking): Was that... a compliment? I honestly have no idea...

Dialogue option 2: It was a nice story

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): It was a nice story.

Tsumugi Shirogane: ...Sure. It’s not really a story I tell many people about.

Not only because it’s embarrassing, but also because, how do I put it, it’s a very important to me...

But I thought it would be ok for you to listen to it.

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): Why me...?

Tsumugi Shirogane: Because you’re starting to get interested in cosplaying, aren’t you, Saihara-kun? Now it’s my turn to drag you with me into this hell.

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): Huuuh?

Tsumugi Shirogane: Just kidding. Well, not completely, but I just told you the story because I thought you were not the kind of guy who would make fun of someone else’s memories, Saihara-kun.

Dialogue option 3: I was the one who asked

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): I was the one who asked.

Tsumugi Shirogane: Yeah, but... aren’t you disappointed because it was even more simply boring than you expected?

Shuuichi Saihara (speaking): I’m not. On the contrary, I’m grateful I could listen to a nice story. 

Tsumugi Shirogane: Y-you are? Well, Saihara-kun, good thing you’re satisfied, I guess?

After any option:

Shuuichi Saihara (thinking after leaving the scene): After listening to all kinds of cosplay memories from Shirogane-san, I returned to my room.

metr0con 2019 saturday diary

cosplayed/breakfast: same as the other 2 diaries. snack: a twin kitkat.

my eyes only, buckaroo. for future me.

can i b real w u i waited until 3 am to type this n a lot (esp from panels/early in the day) is HELLA fuzzy!!! sry! ;w; also it’s like. 4 am as im typing this n im not in the mood to write a diary! recalling everything is tiring, yknow? n i need to go to bed ghh... anyway!!

we left late bc i couldnt decide who to cosplay n i arrived late :(( anyway, it hadnt been 5 minutes there when i dropped my plastic purple heart ring i had from the dentist n i was so sad :( but i went to the bn-ha panel n i dont remember a lot of it sry. i remember iida wore a giant floppy sunhat that said Sunny Vibes on it tho n momo wore a black n white striped dress w sunflowers!

After this was cafe-stuck and it was fun! everyone kept calling jade a furry n i asked nepeta if she’d ever seen Nyan Neko Sugar G!rls to which she said no n someone asked her if she’d heard of/seen nek0para n she said she’d heard of it but it was “a bit.. too Extreme/Much for me.....” and someone asked the group (vriska, jade, john, dave, nepeta, tavros, aradia) why they were doing this and they said it was equius’ and john’s (i think?) prank that got way too out of hanf bc kanaya made the outfits for reals. someone asked vriska if she was a furyr cuz she had a spidersona and throughout the panel vriska and tavros kept talking abt how vriska took away his legs/him not having any. i asked the aradia n vriska if they’d work good together to make a good hall0ween themed cafe if this cafe were real n they were like “what’s hall0ween?” n the others told them it was a holiday that had candy n dead bodies n stuff! n someone asked abt who has the least human rights or just rights in general n john was like “jade u dont rights, ur an animal” n jade was like “trans rights”.

i decided to skip the d-dlc panel bc i didnt rly wanna write poetry cuz i do that at home n i dont rly care abt theories n discussing stuff like that so! i went walking around the dealers room n stuff. my crown actually came off at this time n i remember feeling like my crown had fallen off bc i thought i heard the mini whoosh it makes when it falls down but when i looked behind me, it wasnt there so i checked the aisles nearby n it wasnt there so i assumed someone had snatched it off my head but after a lot of walking, i found it half-underneath a con table w black tablecloth?? so i picked it up n went to the cosplay help desk and the guy safety-pinned it to my wig so i was all good to go!!

after that, i tried to look around to see if i could find any ens-tars cosplayers bc the meerup but i didnt see any so i was like oh well whatever im going to the LL panel anyway. so i went to the aki hana panel n i have videos of it! so im not rly gonna talk abt it. they played kings game there tho and “who’s most likely”! they said “who’d like an!mal crossing the best” n my immediate thought was rin so i raised my hand but the answer they had thought of was kotori, which actually makes much more sense haha. they said my answer was valid tho. i still got candy for answering! anyway the punk set ruby next to me ended up being the hifumi from yesterday that gave me the flower tin n they said it was nice to see me again n i said i wasnt able to go to the ES meetup bc i was only told when it was, not where it was, n they said that Eri/Eli (?) 9im guessing that was the host of the meetup) had to cancel it n i went oh. at the end of the panel i received a kotori pic! also a girl dressed up as a witch complimented my tsukasa outfit n i knelt down n said “thank you, princess” or smth i was like “i had a ring that i was gonna use to like. pretend to give to pretty girls but.. i lost it” n they seemed flattered but we parted ways!

after this was the aqours panel n the hanamaru did a dance n the you also did one but then they started playing the p0cky game n Headphones n i got kind of bored so i left n i heard “tsukasa!” n it was the jakurai from yesterday (that told me abt the meetup) dressed as mao in a yukata w their friend as oni ritsu n they looked so good! the jakumao apologized saying the meetup was cancelled. i think we talked for a sec then i went to go check out the rw-by q n a n it was a whole lot of roasting from the audience haha bc they did questions one at a time (ex: questions for yang, now questions for blake...) n i asked yang how she gets her hair so nice n she went “...nice?” w an unbelieving laugh/tone then they moved on n i was confused but oh well! they asked summer how she felt abt sloppy seconds bc taiyang n how taiyang’d feel abt a 3rd wife n nora got asked how many pancakes she could eat at a time n she was like “how much time do ya have?” n after the qna they started playing a weird game n it was rly boring so i left but the panel was almost over anyway. 

after i left i ran into a ramuda n they recognized me as tsukasa n they’re into ES n they said they hadnt watched the anime yet n they were surprised to see valkyrie in it bc they thought they werent gonna b but they said they hope the anime doesnt butcher shhu bc they like shu n know a lot of ppl hate shu n stuff. we talked abt the ES cosplayers at the con for a bit n i told them abt the ritsu+mao cosplayers n we had anice time talking n they said they rly liked rabits n i was like oh dude me too!! “i havent met anyone who hates ryu-seitai. like, Good.” n they were like “how could you hate ryu-seitai, they all wanna b nice n make friends” n i was like “yea mayb except midori” there was more but yea! i also ran into the witch girl n her friend from earlier bc they went “tsukasa!!!” n her friend (cosplayin smth from hn-k) showed me they had/got a leo plush n i was like “OH MY GOD. HE’S FINALLY BEEN FOUND!! HOLD ON CAN WE HAV A PIC W IT” so we took a pic of the leo plush beside my “where is leo??” sign like!! hell yea! n i was like “leo needs to pay child support. he’s evading his taxes. tax fraud” or smth around this point i think. at some point, on the escalators, i noticed a juto n a samatoki but when they got off the scalator they were heading for the exit so i couldnt rly ask for their pic so i decided to try n find em later.

then i went to the bn-ha panel but it was full to the BRIM but i made the mistake of sliding into the middle of an empty row for a good seat but the prson sat in front of me had big poofy hair so i couldnt see like half of the characters n ppl filld all the seats to my left n right so i couldnt leave. i was rly bored n trapped so i went on my ipad for almost all of thepanel n read part of a chiana/zu fic n stuff until the girl w the big hair left then i focused a Little more on the panel but i was still bored so wehn i noticed the ppl to my right all leave except the one guy next to me, i left the panel. i was sad bc at the time of that panel, there was a DR murder mystery panel that i couldve tried to attend instead but i was trapped so i couldnt :((

after that i decided to wander around for a bit before idolfest but when i went in at 5 pm, i 4got just how small that room was n how few chairs it had, n there were ppl standing against the walls so i leaned my sign against the right of the double doors BUT I LOOKED AHEAD N THERE WAS!! A HYPM!C PERFORMANCE STARTING TO HAPPEN!! DIVISION RAP ANTHEM WAS STARTING UP N MTR WAS ON THE STAGE!! but there were tall ppl standing in front of me n i was crowded against the back so i raised my ipad way above my head n started recording n watched them thru my ipad util someone opened the right door n i had to scramble tog rab my sign n lean it against me somehow n it made my fildiming falter but!! god i was just so exciting bc i wasnt expecting A HYPM!C PERFOAMNCE!! they did so good too ;w; after that, it was a solo hanayo perfoamnce then 3 songs from a non-anime-specific idol group that did 3 voca songs (one of which was LUVVVORATORY!!) n another non-anime dol group that did kpop songs (they were rly pretty n good) n then a you solo then a you/hane duet! ALSO during the hypm!cperformance, te juto n sama n a gentaro were dancing in front of me n right after the perfoamcne, a BB group opened the door but realized they missed the hypm!c performance n left n i decided to try n find em later too. 

after the last performance, there was still time, so a samus came over to me n asked to take a pic of my sign n they said they like ens-tars too n they said they cosplay tsukasa too n they ran a panel as him back in georgia n we talked abt best boys n i showed them all the keychains on my bag n when i pointed at mika n said 2nd best boy they went “:o me too!” n there was a lot more said but we went on talking for a while abt ens-tars n they showed me pics of the tori n arashi cosplayers that day they saw. 

after that i just walked around for like 45 minutes until the samus saw me again n waved me over so i was talking w them n they were apparently drinking alcohol despite being 18 n their friend was 23 n we were just talking abt stuff n i noticed a trigger group on the escalator n we called out to them n i took their picture n samus was like “dude it’s so cool that ur into id0lish7 too” n then we kept talking n at one point the samus was like “tsukasa i luv u” n made a lil finger heart n i tried 2 make one but my hands were kinda full but i managed to make one! they also said earlier today, they saw a sasuke cosplayer getting arrested n they took a pic of it for their snapchat lmao n it was them in front of a cop car n they said the person said “dont touch me!!” to the cop. the friend w samus said the only idols he knows were the combie one n that saki was def best girl hands down like, its a fact n i was like “ur right. it not even a hot take, its the Facts.” anyway then i wnted to walka round a bit more so i did n at like. 7:10 i decided “why not go near the photosoot area n registration to see more cosplayers that r there bc ive just been walking repetitive loops around the dealers room entrance n the con floor so! there could b some new cosplayers there! n lo n behold i found a tenn n ryuu that i had seen briefly earlier! n took their pic! then less than a few ftaway, i tried to walk past some ppl but there was a bag in the way so i stepped over it (like, not on it, i mean. like, Over, to avoid it) but i noticed it was an MTC itabag n the person next to it had bunny ears n it!! was the juto n sama i was looking for! so i took their pic n was talking abt how cool it is to see more hypm!c cosplayers here this yr until some guy came up n started telling the samatoki they looked like kaworu n they mistook them for kaworu n they said they didnt kno who i was supposed to b but i looked nice (iirc?) so i left n near the prop check table, I SAW THE BB BOYS! so i ran up to them n asked for a picture n then i started talking abt the hypm!c thing n there being so many this yr when there were none last yr n the jiro was like “aa ur tsukasa” n we started talking abt ES a lil bit n the anime then i complimented their ritsu+mao plushies on their bag n left!

after that i just roamed the halls until 8 pm. then the v0ltron panel! keith n lance hd like, a roasting rivalry going on n keith was like “i keep getting bullied! i dont deserve this!” n i kept askiing questions. me, a green ranger, a dave, n the dave’s friend were mainly the ones asking questions lmao. anyway keithd b like “lance dont touch me oh ew” and i asked keith what his fav anime was since he said he was a weeb n he said blue ex0rcist n i asked keith if hed seen LL (bc LL cosplayers were dancing to the music outside the panel room n i heard it) n lance was like “oh yea, he knows all the dances. he does them in his room” n keith denied it n at one point, i was like “since keith n lance share one braincell, who has it the most” n they said keith. the bonding moment was also mentioned a lot and alluras death n how lance can get much more “game” than keith (like, ladies. sorry im tired they might hav used another term) and an amami in the audience told lance to fortnite dance with him aftr thelance fortnite danced n!! just. a lot happened. it was a very casual-ish panel imo. haha.

after that i 4got that the bn-ha panel was at 10 not 9 so i just decided to wander then hit up the dance floor for most of the duration n i spotted the juto n sama n a nurse ramuda that i remember the samus talking abt n also someone who looked like the arashi the samus showed me but in an ali!ce madeness returns dress  o i asked the ramuda for a pic and then started dancing and the juto got into one of the dance circles n just started going hard as HELL n i was just dancing in the area they were near n out of the corner of my eye i’d see juto just absolutely KILLING IT w their dance moves bc they were dancing in front of their friends (occasionally w samatoki or posing w them) n i was just jamming out n during a slow song i pulled up a pic of chiaki on my ipad n started slowdancing w my ipad n the girl near me was like “that’s a Mood” n i think i heard the possibly-arashi n the others laugh a bit bc i was slow-dancing w “chiaki’ haha but god the dance floor was WILD! there was a guy w a saxophone at some point playing along w the music then a guy w a guitar! n we yelled lyrice to dont stop believing n stuff.

[welcomerandumbness]

Morning! This is Petroeshka & Mario of InuNeko Cosplay.

I’m a bit late in posting this and getting to know them both was honestly a really great honour. I was amazed at how amazing and talented they both were. Enjoy today’s interview guys.

1.) How long have you’ve been cosplaying?

We’ve been cosplaying for the very first time in 2013. But we are cosplaying as InuNeko Cosplay since 2014.

2.) What character did you enjoy making the outfit and dressing as?

Petroeshka: Overall I must say that I never pick a charcter to cosplay that I don’t have any heart for. I always enjoy the making and wearing of all of my costumes.

I think when it comes to the crafting process and actually LEARNING to craft, that I mostly enjoyed making my Lady Scorpion. Besides having big love for the character itself, it just involved everything that comes to mind when building a cosplay costume: The usage of various materials and fabrics for the armored parts and clothing, the use of make-up, and a bit of wig-styling. All sorts of cool new stuff that I had to learn from scratch back then.

Also my Ratchet Deadlocked Gladiator, because that was my first actual wearable armor build and the very first time I built a, for me at the time, really complicated prop weapon.

As far as actually WEARING and embodying a character, I still gotta say that I love my Lady Scorpion the most of all my costumes. I just absolutely love badass warrior characters and esspecially ninja’s and samurais! And Mortal Kombat is a videogame that I grew up playing so… I build it in 2014 within 3,5 months as it being my very first selfmade cosplay. And looking back upon the things that it got me to do and the awesome people that I got to meet while wearing it, still makes me proud up until today. It’s just really cool that people after all this time still recognise me as “that one Dutch Lady Scorpion”. And that’s why this costume has such a close place to my heart.

Mario: Sub-Zero. Because this was my very first selfmade costume. And because it was my first selfmade one I learned so much from the whole crafting process, esspecially how NOT to do certain things and how much work it really is to make a unrealistic costume reality (really underestimated that part). Also, blue is my favourite colour and I love ninja’s and samurais too, so yeah…

3.) How long does certain outfits take to make?

It all depends on how complicated you want to make it for yourself and how many details you like to add to an outfit.

That’s the nice thing about cosplay: There are always different versions of characters depending on the example sources you’re using. For instance: You can choose for a cartoon, comic, fanart or movie version for your cosplay. So there are all kinds of levels of accuracy. It’s all up to you. Your budget that you like to spend, the materials you use, the skills that you already have or have to develop. And how far you want to take it in to making it come to life in the shape of your costume. Next to cosplay, we are both just normal people with normal obligations and jobs. So there isn’t always time to work on our costumes all the time. Though we really like to take our time into making our costumes. We always find it very important to read to up on the backstories of the characters. This helps us more to bring the characters to life in photo’s and video’s. We do research on the different techniques that are needed to make certain stuff involving the costume. And we always like to check if the costumes are potentially useable for cosplay acts and competitions.

So as you can see: Everything together takes up a pretty great amount of time. (Not to mention money ofcourse.) Depending upon the project ofcourse. But we always like to start ours out about 4 months before the deadline.

4.) Which con is your favorite so far?

Petroeshka: In The Netherlands that would be Dutch Comic Con. Just so many cool memories! I think Katsucon sparks most of my interest when it comes to American cons. From what I’ve seen in video’s, it’s just a very beautiful convention center with lot’s of cool photo locations! And the afterparties are pretty cool also!

Mario: Mine would be Dutch Comic Con in The Netherlands too. As far as cons abroad, I would choose Collossal Con. I mean, the concept “waterpark meeting animal petting zoo”: What’s not to like? Perfect combination for me! You won’t find that anywhere else in the world!

5) If your cosplay line up isn’t secret for this year would you mind sharing?

We’re sorry, but that’s a list that we never officially share. Not only to just keep the pressure off for ourselfs, but also because the plans keep changing as we go. Besides: The list is ENDLESS!

6.)Where are your plans for cons this year?

We have several. But in the end it’ll always depends on our budget and wishes of what we like to achieve with our cosplay plans for that particular year. Upcoming cons and events where you will see us this year are mostly in The Netherlands, Belgium and maybe Germany. Think of cons and events like Dutch Comic Con, The Party, Animecon, Abunai, Firstlook and Campzone in The Netherlands. FACTS in Belgium. And maybe Comic Con Germany and Gamescom in Germany. We would love to go to cons abroad in other far away countries. Keep your eyes open tho. You never know where you might run into us down there in the United States…

7.) Have there been any racial problems either of you faced while cosplaying certain characters at different cons?

Petroeshka: Not for me. I think this is mainly because I’m mixed and people never know where my ethnic roots are actually from. (I’m half black and half asian.) Besides I don’t seem to care too much about it. People will always have something to say, but I always try to keep in mind that I love to cosplay for my own reasons. Ofcourse it’s nice and cool if you actually look a bit like the character and that’s something that I always strive to work towards. I’m not stupid. I know what colour my skin is and what I look like. But if I like a certain character and that character will be white, asian, arab or whatever, I won’t let it stop me from cosplaying him or her. If the character has another skincolour or ethnisity than me, then hell: Then the character will get another skintone with me wearing it. So be it. Everyone has their own reasons for cosplaying certain characters, so I think nobody has the right to say that they can’t or shouldn’t. Most of the time I get told that I actually embody the characters that I choose pretty well, so it’s not something that I worry too much about when choosing one.

Mario: Neither for me. People have been nothing but positive up until now. For example Sub-Zero is a half Chinese guy, but I never heard anyone say that I shouldn’t cosplay him because I’m white. In fact, I get nothing but compliments for me cosplaying him. Same goes for me cosplaying as Ushio Aotsuki. I’m not Japanese, but I love cosplaying this character because I think he’s cool. Though most of the time I choose characters based on my own appearance and physical skill for a bit. That’s just because I feel more comfortable doing that. But it doesn’t mean that I won’t ever cosplay a character of another ethnicity. Just with my own skincolour then. As far as it goes for having real racial cosplay problems at Dutch cons, people seem to be pretty cool and reasonable about it.

8.) As far as black/brownface go, have either of you encounter anyone doing such things at a con?

First of all: We like to put upfront that we as InuNeko Cosplay exist out of 2 different people. 1 is mixed and one is caucasian. Both born and raised in The Netherlands. A pretty multicultural and tolerant country. Having said that, we like to take you all on a little schooling about what the term “blackfacing” actually means. Blackfacing is the intentional hurting of people with a certain ethnical decend or background by turning that background into a caricature and wearing that caricature out in the form of a costume to intentionally hurt or ridicule that certain ethnisity. Our opinion about this is that this is NOT what cosplay does and is intented to do. And if you’re one of the persons that does that intentionally just to make fun of others and their background, then maybe you shouldn’t be cosplaying at all. Our answer around this subject may piss some people off and we understand why. But everyone should be able to be proud of their own ethnisity without hurting others or to be made fun of. Luckilly we don’t see a lot of people doing things like that at Dutch cons. Those who do get scollded by others pretty fast. It’s overly a thing that is not accepted overhere in The Netherlands. Real blackfacing is a disgusting form of display and we don’t support that at all. 9.) Any idea’s on how we can get people to understand why painting one skin another color to be “authentic” is wrong?

We wouldn’t know the concrete answer to that. Also because it is not our place to tell people what to do, since everyone’s interpretation on the term is different. All we know is that there’s a certain moral line made of respect for others and their cultural background, that you don’t cross. If you do and you notice that people don’t like that and you still continiue to do that, then you’re in the wrong bigtime! We wouldn’t know how to make people stop to do it. What we do know is that it’s a subject that as well white as coloured people, should get more educated on.

10.) What are some pet peeves you see at cons that you think should change this year?

Oh boy…Here we go then. Mainly 3 things:

- The eternal bickering within the world of cosplayers about who’s better and popular than who. This is not a race people. If you think that you can do better, then try and learn from your own mistakes as a cosplayer and better yourself in your own way at your own pace. Everybody does their own thing in their own way. Leave them be and try to mind your own business.

- A little wellknown petpeeve down here in The Netherlands: Con and event organisators should stop “using” cosplayers as their own personal Pegasus horse in trade for giving back bad quality cons for the masses. Esspecially those who think that letting cosplayers into your events are just a way of making easy money through the mainstream non-cosplaying crowd. It’s better to organise a big wellorganised and positively remembered con 1 or 2 times a year, then to organise 8 small bad ones.

- The online bashing, hating and calling out of talented famous cosplayers. Why? Because it’s no use and it’s stupid! Those people are just like you: Started out from nothing, but kept on going for the pure love of it. Just trying to make a living out of their favorite hobby: Cosplay. Most of the time they are mainly trying to do their best and inspire others to go and achieve the same dreams in their own way. And show others how much fun it can be to do so.

As a little wrap-up: We’re not saying that cosplay is this dreamworld in which you will not encounter problems like in real normal daily life. You will get haters sometimes. You will not always like every other cosplaying person that you encounter. AND THAT IS OK! Try and keep a realistic, but positive view on the cosplay world and what it involves. Cosplay is meant to have fun. So let that be the first thing on your mind when starting. All that we like to say lastly is that if cosplay is something that you always wanted to do, then just go out and do it!

We started doing this awesome hobby because we think it’s fun bringing to life creatively self designed concepts and perform with them in stage acts. It brought us so much joy and got us to meet so many amazing talented people with the same mindset as us. Being able to share that artform with people around the world and actually getting mad props for that, is something that we will never underestimate and forever appreachiate.
