DC Highschool AU Core Four edition.
This post includes: Core Four (Bart, Tim, Kon, Cassie) they are all in middle school and are 11-12. That's it they are just having fun I made this cause I was bored.
Cassie and Tim are sat under the tree outside their school the group always meet up at. Its around 11pm. Tim is laying out a blanket and food whilst Cassie is trying to set up Netflix on a laptop.
Tim: Okay, Bart said he was bringing the pillows right? There's alot of blankets but the ground is still pretty solid.
Cassie: Yep! Though I'm not sure this screen is big enough for the 4 of us.
Tim crawls over to her: Yeah you're right...
He thinks for a minute.
Tim stands: Uh, you wait here until i get my computer. Its bigger... and I left my bag down at the field anyway so I need to go grab it.
The boy scurrys away and Cassie falls back on the blankets, sighing. She turns her head to the other side and sees two familiar faces.
Kon, carrying 4 pillows and a box full of cola cans with Bart hanging onto his leg: Cassie... help.
Cassie, blinking for a few seconds and then rolling over in laughter: WHAT-hkheue... ACHEM...what happened??
Kon drops the pillow and places the box down next to the tree, shaking Bart off his leg. Then he proceeds to flop down onto the pillows, Bart falling ontop of him immediately after.
Kon: HRG- ugghhh.... I don't know, either. Me and Clark picked him up and drove him here but as soon as I got out the car he attached onto my leg like a toddler.
Bart: Hehe ;)))
Cassie: Sounds like you've become Barts object of interest
Bart: Hehehehehe
Kon: Don't know what that means, don't WANT to know what that means...
He looks around
Kon: Where's Tim?
Cassie: OH! The laptop is too small of a screen so he's away getting his computer.
Kon: Will that really make any difference?
Cassie: Umm I don't know Kon I've never compared Tim's computer to my laptop. 😒
Kon: Damn, snarky... :(
Tim runs back to the group, seemingly exhausted. Kon sits upright, pushing Bart off in the process. Tim sets the computer up and low and behold, it's just the right size.
Bart immediately clinging onto Kon again: What are we watching? I forgot
Tim lays down panting: hhh .... hhhh ....
Cassie: ehehe.. Um, well we think we're gonna have an MCU bashing marathon. I know it's alot of movies but it's a weekend and (albeit, illegal) Tim brought a car we can sit in when it gets cold.
Kon: Dude, I hate marvel.
Cassie: That's why it's called a 'Bashing Marathon', idiot, we make fun of it the whole time.
Bart: Marvel has alot of stuff going on in their movies so it's always fun for me to watch :p
Tim: Okay okay let's get this party started!
Tim jumps up from the ground and places the pillows neatly on the blanket then grabs another 2 thicker blankets and, once everybody's comfortably laying, throws it over them. He tosses a can to Bart and then lays down with the rest of them.
Tim: You punks are gonna be asleep by the 5th hour, I bet.
Bart chugging his drink: NOWAYletsgoletsgoletsgo!!
Cassie: Heh nahh Timmy. I'm so ready for this.
Kon: Let's get ready for a little over 2 days of making fun!
6 hours 30 minutes in and Cassie, Kon, and Bart are all huddling into eachother. One of them is snoring, one is just kicking the blanket continously and the other is sleeptalking. Tim lays happily awake with a bowl full of popcorn when he looks down to his sleeping friends.
Tim: Knew it.
....
Tim sighs as he gets up and turns the computer off, looking back to his friends.
Tim: We probably should've chosen a smaller Franchise, huh guys? Well ... It's dark. And... I don't really wanna drive a car this late so. I'm gonna phone Bruce and see if dad can come pick us up.
He pats his friends.
Tim: And I know you all were tired during Iron Man 2. I saw it in your faces... But you pulled through to the 4th movie out of pure pettiness.
He laughs.
Tim: It's goes to show how resilient you all are... That you don't back down from a challenge. Even if you barely beat it in the first place. It's one of the things I like about you all, and I hope it's something I can one day find myself.
Tim falls back chuckling as he brings his phone out of his pocket and messages his brother.
Tim: Geez I cant believe I'm talking to a bunch of sleeping people.
He feels something brush his leg and sees cassies hand barely but noticeably touching him.
Tim chuckles again, holding his face: Yeah, hehe. You're the type of person to take the chance to tease me about that.
He shuts his eyes.
Tim: Love you guys too...

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Tumblr media
Summary: teen!Devin Walker misses the bond that Heavy Step aka Iron Sides II and Bash Talon once had. Forlorn, he turns to the only guys he’s closest with: Mr. Enigma and Wunderkind. 
Warnings: Angst, guys being emotional, physical harm, kissing, hugging, crying, death, jealousy, control issues.
a/n: This is just based on what I’ve read from the Legacy Watch account on Instagram so don’t come for me if something isn’t accurate. I don’t know or go to school with these people....So something that’s been on my mind lately is how lonely 97!Devin Walker must feel now that he doesn’t have his OG squad with him. What type of person would he become now that his team is so wildly different? Get ready for a little boys on boys indulgent drabble. ;)
It was a gloomy Saturday morning at the Edgewood dorms. The sky was overcast and there was a strong gale that made the windows rattle. One of those days where you’d stay inside with a cuppa tea. 
Devin Walker was huddled under his navy comforter watching YouTube videos on his phone like he always did - with no headphones. It was a constant switch between the actual videos and random pizza commercials. His roommate, Wunderkind, was replaying voice notes on his phone. A familiar accented voice was eminating from the speakers. 
“Hey Dev, you mind turning your volume down? I can’t hear these over your videos,” Wunderkind called. 
“Aww dude, really? You’re making me turn down the volume so you can listen to Tómas?” Devin poked his head out from underneath the comforter. 
“N-n-no - it’s just really loud and I’m tired of hearing the Gen Z version of the Pizza Bagel song. Wait, how do you know it’s Tómas?” Wunderkind responded - exasperated. It wasn’t super visible but he was definitely blushing underneath that mask. 
“Wunderkind, I’d know that French accent ANYWHERE. You should quit being a wuss and just ask him out already,” Devin threw his comforter back over himself and unpaused his video again. 
“I - I - I erm, how did you know I was into him?? And we don’t even know if he likes dudes!” Wunderkind stuttered.
“Like I always say, my dude, to fuck around is holy, to find out is divine,” Devin’s response was a bit muffled from all of the media noise and polyester.
“You’re ridiculous. I give up! I’m just going to put in headphones,” Wunderkind shook his head then proceeded to pop his wireless earbuds in. 
Devin smiled to himself from underneath his blanket cocoon. It was just him and YouTube now, baby. He never really knew what Wunderkind saw in Tómas or why Wunderkind was so head over heels. It’s like Wunderkind never had never met a hot guy before. What the fuck? Devin was RIGHT THERE? Wunderkind never felt the need to be flustered around him. A travesty, really. 
In some ways, Wunderkind reminded him of his best friend and member of the Gold Team, Ironsides II or “Heavy Step” (long story). When Devin knew his version of Heavy Step, he was kind of an anxious kid who Devin had to coax a lot. Honestly, it felt like rescuing a cat off of a treebranch some days. Both Wunderkind and Heavy Step both had big shoes to fill in regards to heroing. Although Wunderkind was a protegé of the Oracle, he, like Heavy Step, had some kind of legacy to uphold. Both of them had to feel an immense amount of pressure. 
Devin’s thoughts shifted to Tómas Fargeon or Mr. Enigma (his working hero name for the time being). Was Tómas really like Bash Talon? Both were kind of boisterous and their love lives were....complicated was putting it nicely. He knew for a fact that Bash Talon did not grow up a billionaire or enjoy playing the cello. In that way, Tómas was his own beast. 
A pang of sadness started to tug at Devin’s heart. Sometimes you never know how much you’d miss a person until they leave. What happens when they’re still here but they’re not the version of them that you knew? And you’re a version of you that they used to know? No one tells you how to navigate those situations. Devin Walker, though he didn’t show it, often felt like one of the loneliest kids on campus. He enjoyed the company of Wunderkind and Tómas, mainly Wunderkind if we’re being honest with ourselves, but it wasn’t the same as the bond he shared with the Gold Team. 
“Hey. Heyyyyyy. Hey, Wunderkind?” Devin, once again, peaked out from underneath his comforter cocoon. He motioned at Wunderkind to get his attention. Wunderkind was currently entranced by whatever he was listening to on his phone. Wunderkind’s eyes were glazed over with lust as he clutched one of his pillows. 
Ew. Guess Tómas really said something juicy, Devin thought to himself. Wunderkind shook himself out of his stupor when he noticed Devin’s frosted tips peaking out towards him.
Wunderkind took out a bud and cocked his eye at Devin, “you good over there?”
“Yeah...no...so like, no homo or anything, but can I like, chill on your bed?” Devin asked sheepishly. 
Radio silence. 
“Uhhhhhh sure??? So like, you want to switch beds?” Wunderkind cocked an eyebrow at him. He was clearly unsure how to interpret this request. 
“No, no, dude like, you can stay on there. I just want some company,” Devin looked at Wunderkind who wore a concerned expression. 
“Um. Cool, okay,” Wunderkind scooted down to make room for Devin, who was still in his blanket cocoon. 
“Thanks, bro. You’re a homie,” Devin said as he hopped up. He didn’t realize it but Wunderkind had sneakily shot Tómas an SOS text. 
A few minutes passed by with no conversation between them both of them. Wunderkind took one side of his bed and Devin sat on the other. A knock at the door broke both of them from their stupors. 
Wunderkind leapt up to grab the door and who other than Tómas was on the other side to greet them. Per usual, Tómas was only wearing a pair of very short track shorts. Sometimes Wunderkind and Devin felt like Tómas had some sort of material allergy. You could never find Tómas fully clothed. Odd. 
“Oh, hey, Tómas! Wow, what a surprise to see you here!” Wunderkind forced an awkward smile. 
“Yeah, Wunderkind I got your text wh-” Tómas began but was immediately cut short. 
“Ahahaha yeah!” Wunderkind awkwardly laughed, putting his hand over Tómas’ mouth. 
“Wunderkind just tell Tómas you think he’s hot already,” Devin called from the bed. Tómas looked down at Wunderkind with a flirty expression and waggled his eyebrows at him. Wunderkind’s whole body started to flush. 
“Oh? Wunderkind - is there something you wanted to tell me? Sadly for you, I’m not gay,” Tómas was clearly amused by the whole ordeal. Wunderkind froze then scratched the back of his head. 
“Uhhh oh...awkward...yeah, I figured as much! Ummm I meant objectively hot, not ‘I want to date Tómas’ hot,” Wunderkind gave an awkard chuckle at this. Devin shot Wunderkind at disappointing look before shaking his head. 
“Dev, you mind if I take this bed?” Tómas made his way over to Devin’s bed which only had the navy fitted sheet on it. 
“Oh, yeah, dude. That’s fine. Do whatever you want!” Devin responded, still fixated on whatever YouTube video was playing on his phone. 
To be continued...

okay so i was queueing this post and was losing my mind in the tags struggling with the constant warning of hitting the word limit bc i had so much to say, until my brain was finally like “dude just make your own damn post” so here i am!
basically my thoughts were about Sean and his experience in episode 4. episode 4 was nuts. the shit Sean endures, regardless of your choices, is horrible. and i just wanted to connect why all the BS Sean experiences makes the choice of shooting or sparing Lisbeth so much more weighty.
(sidenote: i’m not going to be referring to if Sean asks/lets Daniel kill her and will mainly just be focusing on if Sean does it himself or lets Lisbeth leave the church unharmed.)
to start off, i don’t think it’s a reach to say that by the end of the episode Sean has to be fucking exhausted. it’s undoubtedly one of the lowest points of their journey. like from beginning to end: Sean was just held hostage by the feds! he very recently lost an eye and is still struggling to adjust to his now dramatically reduced vision! and still during this recovery phase he crosses hundreds of miles in the desert to find Daniel while trying to avoid discovery. then very quickly he runs into verbally and physically abusive racists who mock his cultural upbringing, raid through his belongings, and then beat the shit out of him, possibly breaking his fucking ribs, while laughing in his bloodied and bruised face. but at least he still has a car oh wait NOT ANYMORE bc he has to abandon it soon after the harassment/assault and is forced to walk several miles in the desert on foot with little food, little water, and little shade.
and then after that absolutely tiring, painful, and no doubt life threatening trek, he finally finds Daniel. finally he gets his brother back but OH WAIT the minute Sean gets there Daniel rejects him, even going so far as to use his power to push him away, bc of the awful brain washing and mental abuse Lisbeth has subjected him to. but ohohoho the horror still isn’t over yet bc in the same exact day literally a millisecond after being kicked out, guess what fucking ghost pops back up in Sean’s life seemingly just to be the sweet cherry on top of these Fuck Sean set of events?? MOTHERFUCKING KAREN REYNOLDS!!! the person that was the very first to fuel his horrific snowball of trauma! that left when he needed and wanted her most and now that shes literally the farthest thing from his mind, ironically spits back in his face that “of course she’s there now, they need her”.
after all this you just know, without a shadow of a doubt, that Sean has to be tired. he has to be fed up with just about everything after being dealt the most atrocious cards ever seen and (intentionally or unintentionally) shat on again and again and again.
then, at the end when he finally convinces Daniel (if you succeed) and tries to leave, Lisbeth will stand in his way after just having her beloved henchmen beat the shit out of him. mind you, Sean still has broken ribs if you rebelled against the desert racists. Sean still can barely see shit. there is blood drenched down his face bc of how much Lisbeth’s goon tried to bash his skull in and Sean is so weak and wounded that, whether they’ve reconciled or not, he has to lean on Karen for support bc he is so fucked up he can barely stand on his own two feet. not even including the absolute mess of mental and physiological trauma the desert pursuit had to have taken on him in the first place.
and Lisbeth, this mass manipulator with absolutely no redeemable qualities, has the GALL to stand in his way afterwards???
the choice to shoot Lisbeth or spare is so so huge i cannot stress it enough, not just as a teaching moment for Daniel but also smthg monumental for Sean. bc what does he do? he just wants to leave, he just wants this part of their journey to be done with already, he just wants it to be over. and again mind you, Sean CANONLY picks up the gun. it is not a choice nor a determinant. Sean grabs it knowing he may need to use it. taking out Lisbeth or sparing her is the culmination of everything that’s happened to him this episode and begs you to wonder:
where is Sean’s head at? has he had enough? has he become so mauled and beat down by practically everything that he finally says “fuck you” and hits back, pulling the trigger? OR does Sean try to maintain the shred of innocence he may or may not have left? does he look at this personification of absolute shit that’s literally daring him to kill her and say “no”?
shooting or sparing Lisbeth at the end of episode 4 is basically asking: will Sean come out of all of that trauma and pain and hurt and fight to remain merciful? or will he mold into hardened steel?

So ok, i was hoping if you could do a compainions react to a trans male sole losing a fight with some transphobic (+ homophobic for male companions) raiders?
(I hope you enjoyed!!)
Let me just start by saying this, the companions will absolutely do their best to fuck their shit up regardless- you’re their friend, in some of their cases, the only friend they truly trust.
—-
Things were going so smoothly.
As per usual, a typical walk down the eastern coast of Boston resulted in stumbling upon some less than savory characters- but that hadn’t been an issue before. Once the two of you had finally stumbled upon mentioned characters, you gave each other a knowing look before engaging in combat.
One thing led to another and somehow they got separated from you, the realization of such causing their breath to hitch- worried eyes scanning all around in hopes of finding you. However they not had to look for very long-
“Yeah that’s it! Fucking tranny, cowering like the little bitch you are.” Somehow, someway..this person got the jump on you. What was to be an easy shot to their head quickly went awry whenever they struck your hand with their tire iron, proceeding to heat you back until your leg swayed from beneath you- your body succumbing to the sheer pain of a few broken bones.
That’s probably why your heart beat several pumps a minute, having had to force yourself backed into a crate wall in attempt to escape.
“Heh, shame. You’re actually kind of cute, for a dude with a pussy, at least.” The sickeningly spat, their fingers fidgeting as they readjusted the grip on their weapon- raising it, about to swing...until-
<Special!>
Dogmeat:
As though it wasn’t bad enough that the person his precious sole was fighting with was being aggressive, they were also saying these weird things too? Oh hell no. As soon aa the German Shepherd got a good shot, he’d leap above your trembling form and a silently wreck shop on their ass. Teeth to tits.
~~~~
Cait:
“Hey you fucking cunt, hope you like swallowing teeth!”
She wouldn’t even hesitate to use her own fists. It would probably hurt her too, but she didn’t care. True to her words, she’d make them suffer- busting their nose and knocking their teeth out before finally settling for gouging their eyes.
Curie:
“You say very mean things, at least you won’t be able to anymore...”
Being so dainty and lithe definitely had its perks. While that asshat was spewing their venomous monologue, she was able to sneak up behind them- plunging a syringe full of poison into their jugular.
How could they be so mean to you?
Danse:
“That’s quite enough.”
Danse usually wouldn’t ever resort to using such..brutal measures. However between feeling the sting of their words and seeing how they were able to beat you so badly....Danse grabbed ahold of their head and simply lifted up. The strength of his power armour suit allowing him to successfully “pop” it off.
Deacon:
“Sucks for them.”
Deacon would use their talking as an opportunity. Sneaking up behind them, he’d plunge his knife right into their back- twisting it for good measure as they screamed in agony. It was a bit underhanded, but shit, it worked.
As soon as he was able to get you to medical help, he’d be there to try to make you feel better about the ridiculous things that person said.
Gage:
“Dumbass, didn’t even know who he was talking too. Oh well, come on boss..let’s go get ourselves cleaned up.”
He. Would. Not. Hesitate. To. Blow. Their. Fucking. Head. Off.
Hancock:
“You, oh you’re coming with me..”
Having chems on hand usually meant Hancock was always ready for a good time..however right now it meant he was stocked up to perform a quick little “kidnapping”. Once he gage you a stimpack and was sure you’d be alright, he’d option for the two of you to go to Goodneighbor- dragging the insufferable, unconscious dickhead with you the entire way.
Once there, it was all a matter of waiting. Who knows? Maybe they’ll be missing a tongue, or a toe when they wake up. Either way, it’ll be a fun experience.
Macready:
“What a buttface..”
They didn’t know it, but it was a horrible decision to turn your back on a sniper. Mere seconds went by before Mac’s bullet flew through their skull, painting you in the viscera of their demise. A little bit afterwards, Mac would come strolling along with his trusty rifle at side. Then he’d kneel down in front of you, a small smile on his face when you thanked him.
Maxson:
“You’re in no position to say such disrespectful things..Mercy isn’t something I usually consider, but for you- it’s entirely out of the question.”
Arthur almost never got involved with the commonwealth missions, but this time he was glad he had.
As they were saying their indecent words, he grabbed the hand they intended to wing with- pulling it back and twisting it around their back, pulling one good time causing them to yell out in pain. Just when they were going to swing toward him, they were promptly met with the business end of his combat knife- slicing into their forehead from the force of which they turned.
Nick:
“Some people just have no redemption..Do they?”
The old detective would merely cast his gaze at their now twitching corpse, having shoot them point blank in the back of their head. He’d just scoff, kicking their body aside as he tentatively looked you over- deciding the next best course of action was to jab a stimpack in you.
Old Longfellow:
“Dontcha dare listen to them kiddo, son of a bitch probably didn’t have a piece of brain left anyway- now let’s go get you patched up.”
It took only five point two seconds for him to choke the unsuspecting raider, having pulled back their tire iron and thrusted it against their throat, holding it their until they no longer breathed. Once done with his rather violent display, he simply shrugged and offered you his hand.
Piper:
“Wow, what a dick..”
She’d have no words! None. She’s seen some terrible people, but boy, the world just never ceases to supply a worse bunch, does it? Regardless of her eternal thoughts, she’d just shake her head before shooting them in their ass, then their face when they turned around.
Preston:
“Hmph, as if being a raider wasn’t already a shitty enough life decision..”
Their words would enrage him to no return. This ended up resulting in him bashing the butt of his laser musket against their head until they no longer moved. They had no right to cast down such terrible judgement. No one does.
Skinny Malone:
“Don’t worry now, bastard got what was coming to ‘im.”
Yours crazy if don’t think wherever Skinny goes, his gang is close behind. At the very first sign of trouble, they came out of their shadowing spots and unleashed hell in the form of several rounds of ammunition. When all was said in done, the asshole that spoke such means words to you closely resembled Swiss cheese. After the whole ordeal, Skinny would take you back to his headquarters and let you drink to your hearts content- reassuring you that you shouldn’t let people like that make you feel any less of your self.
Sturges:
“Listen, I know you raider kind aren’t the smartest but..that’s just stupid. Even for your standards I presume.”
Truthfully..he was scared as hell going up against the raiders but! He owed it to you. So he rolled up his sleeves and stormed right in up to the bastard looking over you, hitting them upside the head with an old wooden board he thankfully found.
X6-88:
“Let’s go..I believe we’re both entitled to drink after this.”
He made quick, precise work of the perpetrator. Gone and done before your eyes could even process it. Had he not been right in front of you, offering you his hand, likely wouldn’t have even thought he had killed them at all- instead perhaps thinking it was some invisible force instead.

i just did some ghirahim fighting (haven’t beaten him yet) and I love the dude.  like, he’s so extra and flashy and the way he catwalks toward you while link frantically dashes around him is just cool.
in his first stage I actually had him at a standstill.  I would run up, bash him while he blocked and repeat, but neither of us dropped out guard long enough for either to land a hit.  ironically, the only way I would’ve lost at that stage is if *I* got too tired (read: my shoulder which HATES me right now) and dropped my guard.
and then!  he did that little swooshy-dashy thing and I was like ):000 because that’s a yiga/ancient sheikah move!!!  i died to that twice because I did most of the dungeon without a shield.  can you leave the dungeon/final fight to restock without losing all your progress?  cuz I really need a shield.
while I was fighting a Small Person was watching, and they loved the whole thing, they were giggling their head off.

Tumblr media
[ 3:19 am , crepuscule dorms , 2016 ]
“okay, what is this?”
standing at the entrance to the hallway that opened up into the kitchen and dining room, bee, although her eyes were foggy with sleep, could somewhat see sooyoung and areum at the dining room table, hunched over with their full attention on something on the table.
sooyoung looked up at bee, “we’re just tryna see if this thing works.”
“what’s ‘this thing’ i can’t see it-“ bee froze when she leaned down and saw what the two girls were so focused on. she gasped, eyes as wide and round as could be, “where did you get that?!”
“they literally sell them at toy stores, they’re 8+,” areum said calmly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. maybe it was, but was bee crazy for thinking you shouldn’t be able to contact spirits at eight years old?
“what kind of toy store is selling ouija boards? and why did you buy one?!” bee whisper-yelled, because after all, it was literally the middle of the night and yoorim was sleeping not that far down the hall, and they knew if she woke up she’d be grumpy in the morning. “and why are they only 8+?!”
“okay,” sooyoung started, “you’ve seen the weird ass fuckin’ shit that’s been going on here lately, so we decided to, reach out, y’know? just be like, ‘hey, what the fuck, dude’.”
bee knew the dorm was haunted, the rest of them knew the dorm was haunted. it was getting harder and harder to explain away doors slamming and opening by themselves, the random cold spots all over even when the heat was blasting in every room, and things being misplaced almost every other day.
what exactly those spirits were and why they were attached to the dorm, bee didn’t understand, and that’s what she had been trying to figure out. countless hours of researching the building they lived in and the areas around it, she’d even tried contacting them- as in whatever resided in their dorm herself, but so far, she’d had no luck. but she did know, that a board game was not the proper way to figure this out.
if bee wasn’t half asleep, she’d be scolding the two of them until their ears bled, but she found herself too tired to care. she sighed, and locked eyes with tomomi in the kitchen, who stared back at her, wide eyed with half a bun in her mouth.
“i’m not involved, i just wanted a snack,” she said quickly.
bee nodded, and turned back to the two girls at the table, “why did you think this was a good idea right now?”
areum shrugged, her calm expression certainly not matching the sheer panic behind bee’s sleep fogged eyes, “arent ghosts like, more active this time of night or something?”
sighing and pinching her nose bridge, bee would go on and attempt to explain why you shouldn’t mess around with the spirit world at three in the morning. if areum was being honest, it all went in one ear and straight out the other. something about 3am being the time when the veil between the living and the dead was the thinnest, and how it was dangerous because they could possibly house something malicious in their dorm, and how you’re not always talking to who you think you are, yada yada. she could really go for one of those buns that tomomi was stuffing her face with earlier.
“did you hear any of that?” bee queried, her patience very obviously wearing thin (just like how she described the veil, kind of ironic).
“i did!” sooyoung exclaimed, “you’re good at storytelling, isn’t she?” she looked down at the board, as if she was asking it directly, but before it could escalate, bee flared at her and continued for scolding session.
“stop messing with this stuff! you guys are gonna get us in serious trouble!”
“bee,” areum deadpanned, reaching her hand out to clap bee on the shoulder, “i love you, but fuckin’ chill. these don’t even work half the time anyway.”
“i’m allowed to be concerned about whatever you guys could be contacting!” bee shrugged areum’s hand off, her eyebrows drawn closely together in concern, “you know it’s easy for something to say they’re something they’re not.”
areum shrugged, “is it? hey ghost! buddy! who the hell are you?” she exclaimed, reaching out for the planchette, but bee swatted her hands away, almost slapping her out of recklessness in the process.
“don’t do that! you’re asking for something to happen.”
“what’s gonna happen?” areum continued to argue. bee would’ve bashed her head in if she still wasn’t half asleep and starting to slur her words together because she was so exhausted.
“i mean, we could always be terrorized by ghosts the rest of our lives, that certainly wouldn’t be fun,” tomomi piped up from the kitchen.
areum glared at her, “i swear i thought you went to bed.”
“alright fine,” tomomi threw her hands in the air, “going to bed now,” she continued as she started walking down the hall, “night.”
“and that’s where we should all be going now,” bee mumbled, picking up the lid to the box the board came in and tossing it in areum’s direction.
“alright, damn, going to bed now,” she grumbled as she picked the lid up and began putting the board back in the box.
“you look tired, you can go back to sleep now!” sooyoung said, waving bee away, who, surprisingly, complied, obviously much too tired to do really much else. “night!” sooyoung called after bee as she disappeared down the hall.
later that night, as the call of slumber had nearly taken control, bee suddenly jolted awake again. she’d just then realized, in her sleepy stupor, she’d forgotten to make sure sooyoung and areum did one of the most crucial things. she heard areum stir on the other side of the room, and bee sat up.
“wait.” she said suddenly, “did you guys say goodbye?”
“...what?”
“on the board. did you say goodbye.”
areum was silent for a beat, before quietly replying, “...you’re supposed to say goodbye?”
so bee knew one thing was for sure, and that thing was that they were fucked! she was already imagining waking up the next morning to those spirits even more violent than usual. cupboards wide open, plates and other cutlery smashed on the floor, and at this point maybe some demonic hoof prints crossing the linoleum floor of the kitchen or something. who knew at that point! was bee overreacting? possibly, but she thought she was justified in being at least a little apprehensive.
“yes? if you don’t say goodbye you could- oh my god, areum, you didn’t know this?”
“i’ve never used a ouija board before! i just thought you asked the thing and the thing moved and that was that!”
“oh my gosh,” bee replied quietly, rubbing her eyes, “we’re screwed.”

My OC Danganronpa Class
What up!
You’d think that after i did this shit for the MHA fandom, I would not do this shit to myself again! But you would be wrong! Oh so wrong, as I am an artist that likes to put myself through pain! An Artistic Masochist if you will!
Anyhow. Just like I did when I made my OC’s for the MHA Fandom, I may as well do so for the Danganronpa Fandom too! What could go wrong? Right? 
My Class of Danganronpa OC’s are made up of 16 Characters! (My Main OC included!) And here’s a list of their talents, gender, personality, and maybe a brief description of them (If I’ve come up with a look for them in my head yet!) I wanted to be as unique with this group as possible when it comes to talent sets, but I also like clichés and tropes and think theirs nothing wrong with them as long as they’re used well and in an interesting fashion! None of these OC’s have names yet, and again grammar is non existent here! So with that out of the way, Let’s begin!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Cosmetologist- Name: N/A Gender: Male (Was born Female) Personality: He is someone who looks for the beauty in all people, be it cosmetic or otherwise! He wants to use his talent to make others feel happy and comfortable in their own skin, to bring out that inner beauty! He himself had to struggle for many years to feel comfortable with who he was, and through his love for the cosmetic arts, he was able to do that! He’s a very confident individual, and becomes very upset when someone starts to become self-deprecating or he sees someone putting down others! He’s not ashamed of himself at all, and will become quite serious when someone puts two and two together when they find out he’s trans. A kind of “Yeah, that’s right! What of it?” attitude. He can be very eccentric and poetic when talking about the things he loves, this includes people!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Match Maker- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: If you took a Multi Shipper and mixed them with a flaming pervert, then you’d have this guy! Despite him being a absolute god when it comes to finding love for others, his own love life leaves much to be desired. As such, he’s always ALWAYS hitting on the girls he speaks too! Even the one’s he’s helping to find love! He’s a horndog, but one can’t deny the man’s talent at finding love for others! He has a nearly 98% Success rate when it comes to his pairings, and a little over half of those end with the pair getting married or being together of many years! He’s very perceptive and is a master at reading body language, which gives him an advantage when choosing partners for others! Deep within that perverted exterior he puts on though, is a genuinely sweet guy who cares for the happiness of those around him! Why would he do what he does otherwise!?
Highschool Level Ultimate: Tattoo Artist- Name: N/A Gender: Female Personality: At first glance, she doesn’t seem like much more then your average Gunge Goth Chick with a thing for looking tired and and just over it. But that the opposite of what she’s actually like, sure she still speaks in a mostly tired and deadpan voice, but she a pretty warm person! She friendly to most everyone she meets, her first question usually being something along the lines of “Yo! Got any Tats?”. She very interested in seeing the tattoos of others and learning their story through them! She’s very gifted at her craft, All of her clients being 100% satisfied with the tattoo’s she makes! When listening to what they want, she’s says it’s almost like she can see their memories as her own, and is able to create exactly what they want! She’s always very chill, and it’s hard to piss her off, but if you hurt a friend of hers, oh! You’re gunna be getting a very unpleasant tattoo from her! The only other thing she can’t stand is when someone mocks another's tattoo. That’s someone’s story and feeling’s put into visual form, and thus she’s very protective of that! She also really hates the term “Tramp Stamp”! Description: She’s a very short and petite young lady who’s always wearing a hoody with the hood over her head. Her hair is platinum blonde and wavy, it always sticking out of the hood on the sides of her face. She has Steel Blue eyes that have very dark rings around them, a mixture of heavy eyeliner and just lack of sleeps. She’s wearing ripped jeans most of the time and sneakers and most of the time, has a lollipop, toothpick, or cigarette in her mouth.
Highschool Level Ultimate: Radio DJ- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: Loud! Very Loud! That’s the first impression he gives everyone! And it couldn’t be more accurate! This dude is a party animal! A love for all things music! He’s constantly listening to all the latest hits from all types of music, and loves all of it! One would never guess though that this crazy fellow also has a more chill side! But if you listen to Station 75.9 after 10 P.M. you’ll notice that this guy has quite a calming voice! At night, he runs a late talk show from his dorm at Hope’s Peak for the student body! He plays soft music like Jazz or Classical during this time for those who have a hard time sleeping or just need something going on in the background while they study for the next big test! He also brings in guests like fellow classmates, members of staff, or those that work close with them to be on his late show to answer any questions that the other students can call in and ask on air! He believes that all things can be bettered by the power of music, and wants to do that for the whole world!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Journalist- Name: N/A Gender: Female Personality: This young lady has some serious guts! With a passion for the truth and the wit to get the best stories for the student body of Hope’s Peak! She wants so badly to be a reporter and will do the best damn job she can! She’s the first one on the scene to anything happening on campus, and no one is safe from her detective like eyes! She can be a bit accusatory at times and seems to get a little too worked up over her job, which can make her come off as bossy or insensitive. She flustered easily by things that confuse her! Mostly that’s things like Machines or Men! Which is way she mostly writes everything down by hand and mainly only talks to ladies, and when she has to talk to guys, she tends to try and get to the point quickly to avoid a long conversation. This is why she always has her classmate with her to help with these kinds of situations!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Assistant- Name: Naya Yuno (Called Ladybug by most of her classmates and close friends!) Gender: Female Personality: Think of the shyest person you know, and times that by a million! She incredibly nervous around others, especially men! This is due to her unfortunate talent! This girl can be told to do or help with just about anything, and she will do it flawlessly without much protest. Now, this has cause several problems for her with being taken advantage of by a good amount of people in the past, her parents included. She she has a general distrust in most people, causing her rampant shyness. But, she still want to be useful and do good things to help others! So she mainly fallows her classmate, the Ultimate Journalist around. She helps her with interviews despite her shyness, as due to her talent and her orders, she HAS to obey. And if she has to be alone to complete a task, she puts in ear plugs to keep herself from being told to do anything else. But despite her orders, there’s one particular little Hall Monitor that no matter what, if she’s asked to speak too, she freezes and can’t speak too with out turning into a blushing flustered mess. Description: She’s a short girl with a rather nice figure! She’s got a strong pair of legs, as she’s always running in halls back and forth to complete her tasks quickly without interruption. She has long black hair held in a low hanging ponytail, tied with a white fluffy ball-like tie, and pair of Golden Brown eyes. She’s always seen wearing a modified School uniform with a noticeably longer skirt then the other girls and a pair of glasses.
Highschool Level Ultimate: Cheerleader- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: If you turned a Golden Retriever Puppy into a human being, you’d have this guy! A literal ball of sunshine and all that is good in this world! This dude kicks ass at gymnastics, Dancing, and singing! Kinda important when  you’re a cheerleader! He grew up with his older sister who is a very Famous and talented Cheerleader for a Sports team. He loved seeing her dance and put smiles on everyone’s faces, getting everyone so hyped! And he wanted to be just like her! Only problem...he was a guy, and guys aren’t supposed to do girly things...right? His sister wasn’t having it! she told him how in other parts of the world, male cheerleading is absolutely a thing, and that it didn’t matter what others thought1 He should just be himself, and have fun! So that’s what her did! He’s a very hard worker and is all about putting a spring in people’s steps! He gets upset if someone bashes him for his interest and will take none too kindly to those who mock him! It just pushes him to do more! 
Highschool Level Ultimate: Empath (Main OC)- Name: N/A Gender: Female Personality: This woman is like an saint! She’s kind, Patient, Caring, and always going out of her way to help others when needed! She’s only firm when she needs to get the job done, but she’s always doing so with a smile! However, don’t push it, cause even though she looks like a pushover, She’s got a will of iron and a smack that can make even the toughest of men tear up a little. And she’ll deliver the blow with that same smile! She hardly get’s any sleep, as she’s always in a state of unrest! So despite her chipper look, she’s actually pretty tired. And who could blame her? Her talent not only makes her deal with the emotions of others round her, but her own anxieties too! She avoids touching people at all coasts, as part of her talent allows her to feel exactly what the other person does just by being around them, but if she touches them, the feeling is increased and can lead to her having nervous breakdowns or even going into shock. She has to e super relaxed in order for this not to happen, but seeing how she’s always on the move, that’s just never really possible. She has a bit of a wild side too! As she used to have a BF before Hope’s Peak who was a biker! She love to dance, sing, drink, and just generally have a bombass time. However, after his death, and her starting work and schooling, she just....didn’t have the time or heart to have that kind of fun again! Sometimes she’ll have a slip up, like letting out a cheer when something great happens, Gushing over her peers, or even a little playful flirting here and there with a certain Fortune Teller.
Highschool Level Ultimate: Farmer- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: He’s the classes big bear man! He’s a gentle giant with a heart of gold! He works hard, cares for his friends, and wants nothing but the best for those around him! Being a farmer, he knows everything about plants, Livestock, the earth, and how to take care of it! He acts like a big brother for his class as he is quite wise for his age! He’s the first one to put an end to an argument by trying to get everyone to relax and just talk out there differences! He hates violence, and don’t take too kindly to people wanting to hurt his friends! He’s pretty intimidating when he get’s angry, and that’s normally enough to keep folks who might try to cause trouble away. Description: He’s quite a tall and big looking guy! He’s got short light brown hair that’s messed up, and thick hair that pokes out of the top of the flannel shirt he wears and that grows along his forearms. He wears dirty overalls and a pair of large steal toed boots. He had a large straw hat as well but only puts it on while he’s working, most of the time it’s just hanging off of his neck on his back. He’s got a bit of stubble on his chin too!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Pilot- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: He’s quite a perky young man! But only when he works on his plane or flying! Most of the time, he looks tired or miserable. Needless to say he hates having his feet on the ground! He’s often daydreaming about flying or just laying in the grass just staring into the clouds. He’s friendly for the most part, but unless you talk to him about something related to flying, odds are he won’t pay much attention to you! Flying just seems to be the only thing that helps him focus on....well, pretty much anything. Despite his lack of attention to most things though, he’s VERY smart! Not only is he a pretty skilled mechanic, but the dude is quite the Linguist! The guy knows Japanese, English, Spanish, German, Russian, and Italian! The only reason his classmates know this about him, is because he starts talking in another language when he starts getting bored in a conversation. He might seem distant to most of his classmates, or anyone really, but he does have a love for people, it’s just hard for him to focus on them, when there is a big old sky just out their waiting to be explored!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Hypnotist- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: It’s a little hard to say much about his personality when the man refuses to talk unless he’s using his talent! According to him, his voice is hypnotic to all who hear it, so he refrains from speaking. He’s a mysterious fellow that’s for sure! Apparently, he’s even so good at what he does that not even he is immune to his own talent, o much so that he keep a blindfold over his eyes at all time, so that when he uses his pendulum, he doesn’t enter into a trance as well! He’s quite helpful though, as if his classmates ever need to relax or need a nap and can’t sleep, he’ll gladly use his talent on them! He’s also capable of brainwashing people doing this, however he himself refuses to use it to make someone do something that would cause them harm or humiliate them!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Fisherman- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: This dude is an....odd one to say the least. He’s always telling stories about Ghosts, Monsters, Alien, and other stuff that he claims to have seen while out on the water! He’s a hugely superstitious person and is quite gullible, but the guy means well! He’s very knowledgeable when it comes to many forms of aquatic life and even has a pet Axolotl, that he claims to have saved it from being eaten by a Bigfoot while on one of his fishing trips! He’s likes to give “Good Luck” charms to his classmates anytime they’re about to do something stressful. They humor him and take the charms, just so his feelings aren’t hurt, the poor guy is just trying to help after all!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Comedian- Name: Autumn Miwa Gender: Female Personality: A ball of literal joy and sunshine! It’s nearly unheard of to see this girl sad or angry! She’s The Ultimate Comedian after all, and laughter and smiles are her MO! Pranks, Standup, Skits, Silly Outfits, Dancing, Jokes, Tickle Fights, Impersonations, Songs! You name it, this girl will do it to make someone laugh or crack a smile! She’s always the first to want to cheer someone up who looks like they’re not feeling so hot. She loves the sound of laughs an cheers and she gets all giggly herself when someone else is happy too! He favorite people to make smile, are the ones who always seem a bit shy or who don’t talk often, hearing those people snicker or giggle is enough to make her so energized that she could power an entire city for weeks! This said, she does know her place, when a situation arises that needs to be handled delicately, she’s more then willing to set aside her need to make the person smile in favor of just being there to comfort and hold them! This girl loves PDA, and has no problem with hugging or holding hands with some stranger! She especially loves it when they get they get a little sheepish about it, she thinks it’s adorable! There’s actually a sweet little Robocutie that she loves going in for sneak attack hugs and tickles, he always has the best reactions! However, deep down underneath this happiness, this poor girl is hiding quite the shocking secret. She suffers from a incurable and life threatening illness that will most likely kill her before the end of her late 40's. So, for now, she just wants others to enjoy her company and remember her as she is now! It's better that way!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Seamstress- Name: N/A Gender: Female Personality: Basically everyone’s idea of a grandmother in the form of a sweet young girl! She very gentle and kind, and has a need to make everyone around her comfortable! Warm clothes, Soft Blankets, Cute Plushies! She makes it all! She also makes warm cookies, though that has less to do with her talent and more to do with her general love for sweets! Though, as sweet as she is, she is also quite clever and tactful, and isn’t above a little bit of blackmail to get people to do what she wants. This is only done to people she may not care much for of course!  She LOVES AESTHETICES!!!! She has a mood board, one for each of her classmates that she always references from when making them something!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Actor- Name: N/A Gender: Male Personality: This guy is as dramatic as they come! He’s quite the overreactor, and tends to get super emotional over the smallest things, good or bad! For example, he once openly “proposed” to a girl in the middle of the Dining Hall, just because she was kind enough to let him have the last Dinner Roll that was left at the buffet table. And the other time he started acting like he would be raining fire and brimstone on a guy just because he accidently clipped him on the shoulder while trying to walk past him! He can be really exhausting to be around but is kind enough! Though, he does have a bad habit of accidently insulting others while trying to give compliments. Most of the time, he can be found practicing his parts for plays and movies alone in the gym. He adores dramas and tragedies most of all, even though he is more then capable of doing over forms of acting. This guy is a master at reading people, which is what makes him so good of an actor, he can sense deception from a mile away! So he’s a pretty hard person to fool!
Highschool Level Ultimate: Meteorologist- Name: N/A Gender: Female Personality: A small chucky lady who’s a sweet as candy! She’s a super smart young lady who loves the weather! She spends a lot of her free time collecting weather data and helping the folks in the greenhouse and gardens by giving them her findings so they can better their crops and protect them if needed. She has a fondness for rainy weather, but more so if it’s still sunny out while it’s raining! I has a huge obsession with Rainbows and Tornados, in fact one of her biggest dreams in life is to go on a real Storm Chase one day! Truly an adventurous young lady!

dragon age: all characters (companions)
I’ve been in this fandom for a hot minute now and I want to update my opinions on characters :)
Origins
Alistair: super sweet dude who literally is not the stereotypicalchantryguyfightme. He’s a great example of healthy masculinity and I totally wish he was bi because I have an entire essay on that— also: he’s a poc! His mum was brown. In game he’s got dark features. if you really want a blond/blue-eyes/white guy, make your warden that. or accept that brown people can be noble and moral. or just draw cailan, idk. just because BioWare whitewashes doesn’t mean you should.
Leliana: someone hug my singing girlfriend before I crush her under with my own hugs. Also: nugs. Yes! Shoes. Yes! She likes how I style my hair? YES!! I honestly think she’s super duper and it pisses me off whenever someone’s like: yeah she enjoys killing people and the Game. ok. and michel de chevin willingly participated in genocidal marches through the alienage he grew up in with his elvhen mum. 
Morrigan: dirty swamp witch that i stan and also have a v big crush on. tiddies. Have a son with a GW so we can raise him with our tiddies out in the forest. she’s also white-passing, as her father was chasind and all people we’ve seen that are chasind are black. therefore, she is biracial. therefore, poc can be goths and don’t shy away from giving morrigan a darker skintone. if the devs had of been thinking, she’d have a darker skintone.
Zevran: Actually is the best romance, I think. Loves consent, therefore I will stan him so hard my skull cracks a little. Also: he is a very brown boy and if he’s white in da4 I’m seriously going to throw all canon out the fucking window. genuinely a good person who needs to be told so. 
Wynne: grandma who only likes my friends who go to church. but also super sweet and I’d rest my head on her bosom (in a platonic way omg ZEVRAN)
Sten: angry quiet boi. the bestest boi. I totally would give him a kitten for a gift and bake him cookies. Thicc softie. I think if I had DA:O and i knew how to use mods i would mod the fuck outta him. sorry.
Sha(y)le: who’s gender? idk her. See also: fuck birds and authority. pound ur ass into the ground you feathery meatbag little shits. fuck songbirds.
Dog: such a good boi. thicc. thinks Alistair is a whiny fuck and is Morrigan’s only friend. love him. he’s the cutest companion. bet.
Ohgren: honestly forgot about him bcc he’s such a shitbag. also: he could’ve been a really cool addiction recovery type but NOPE. probably would have a trump shirt in a modern au and would catcall wlw and hit mlm. no thanks.
Awakening
Anders: he acts like rlly straight but he’s so gay I can smell it. also he’s rlly cute and fun and I love him so much.
Justice: MAYBE i’M selF CONSCious OF THE twitchING. is the friend that genuinely doesn’t get dick jokes but is ur 110% ride or die.
Nathaniel Howe: honestly is sort of a white knight/neck beard a little, but it’s kind of charming with his whole velanna m’lady?? grump boi. annoying soul patch that I’d mod out SO FAST—
Sigrun: would have ROMANCED the FUCK out of her. why she even entertains the idea of fucking with ohgren makes me realize most of the writers are dumbfucks.png. peppy little emo. 12/10 would die if she kissed my cheek teasingly.
Ohgren: why. why. why. I’d have brought Shayle over. Maybe Zev? Definitely Dog.
Velanna: she was written to be an annoying feminist and you can tell but I deadass am a kindred spirit with her bcc I too am deadpan annoyed with Thedas’ general population too. love her. Would’ve loved to romance her. She’d totally be one of those who’d get all tsundere and be like “n-no i hate you” *kisses the fuckin soul out of you then blushes so hard she’s now a tomato*
Dragon Age II
Anders: fuck the cops. i don’t care. fuck the cops. (vine reference). also: do i hate him for blowing up the chantry that would eventually annul a huge collection of his people? no. read dalishious’s meta on Anders. v intriguing. didn’t they retcon the fuck out of the reported deaths too? like there was like eight Templars and Elthinia in there. Templars killed more “abominations” in a day than Anders in the game canon—
Aveline: initially thought she was fine and then realized she’s shit to my lil brother and I will fucking clap her ginger ass. See also: whorephobia isn’t a joke so fuck off with treating Isabela badly, you tit.
Bethany: sunshine. Literal sunshine. I feel my freckles grow in her presence and i love it. she’s my little baby sister and I’d slam that ogre so fuckin hard before it touched either twin.
Carver: there has to be a mod where both twins survive. I love them both to bits. My babies. carver is my bitter, angry little brother and I can relate because I too am very angry and would totally clap my own ass. hes so genuine and I don’t get the competition between Beth and Carver. Like, both are fuckin stellar in different ways. In this essay I will—
Fenris: honestly, I don’t get the general hate between him and Anders. Fenris’ main arc should’ve been a recovery arc, not drunken moping and revenge. he deserves better. give him a soft sweater instead of his spikes and let him love himself as much as I love him for MAKERS SAKE. like when you really think about their relationship, it could’ve been an eye-opener for fenris and finally some legit sympathy for anders. but we all know that if they had of teamed up that Meredith would’ve been dead before the end of Act 1 so.
Isabela: whorephobia is not a joke. oversexualizing your only appearing brown woman is so poorly written. how about we appreciate her and her lovely bosoms but also let people tease her about her heart of gold? her innate understanding of freedom? instead of just a wave of dick? please?? can we give her some pants for when she fights? can we accept that i fall for rogues who hate themselves?? fuck. also whomever draws her x femHawke x Merrill literally is after my own heart.
Merrill: my fucking babygirl MARRY ME. Fenris could’ve been her older brother type, but NO. she and Isabela should’ve been canonical gfs instead of Isabela/Fenris (no shaming the pairing tho!!). I love how she’s written as neurodivergent. V nice. Sometimes I just look her up and cry because she’s fucking everything. Also: she’s in the Dalish origin and she’s far from being white. Why did they make the most innocent/naïve character really white? hmmmm.
Sebastian: whew that boy. Would totally be that annoying Mormon at your door but you still let him in bcc he’s super sweet. Also: huge ass bible thumper and should get his head slap because you said the maker loved all his children why do you defend a complicit old hag you annoying attractive fuck—
Varric: totally is a bard and the devs couldn’t handle the idea of him being one bcc it might make him look less straight. is the only grey morality person I don’t want to fucking bash in with a fry pan. he sees people and I like that, but you totally know he’s siding with mages every time bcc him and Anders are like besties. I’m sorry. I don’t make the rules. “Professional Younger Brother”.
Tallis: I know nothing about her but she seems okay. I think she was an escaped slave and honestly? Fucking props. Spy on a shitting organization, idk what you’re doing, but your VA was that cool lesbian from SPN so I think ur okay?
Inquisition
Blackwall: Redemption Arc 101. Love him to bits. Sad dad bunwall. good man. actually atoned for his sins by actively becoming a good person. his initial design is 80% hotter im so sorry but so not.
Cassandra: was way browner in the last game. would romance the fuck outta her. I love me a butch lady who melts at my dorky recitation of poetry. BioWare is a coward. also is the worst choice for divine. but not a bad person. could use some more guidance or get her ass whipped by a dalish elf about religion or a circle mage kid whos like “yeah bud i didn’t ask for the templars to whip my ass everyday for existing.”
The Iron Bull: I think the Qunari/Vashoth were a little based off black people (the whole anti blackness thing where ppl are scared of them bcc of whatever reason) and it pisses me off that he had a weird ass dubcon thing with Dorian in banter. It doesn’t make sense— he’s an A+++ dom and would not jump straight in role play without at least checking in at first like wtf BioWare.
Cole: his mother was chasind so he’s like not supposed to be that white? or like biracial? albino? idk. love him to bits tho. He’s neurodivergent and I deadass love him. romancing him? idk. I see why ppl think it’s fuckin nasty but also like as a writer I’d age him the fuck up so fast before my inquisitor even THOUGHT about that. like idk. I’m down with him being a sweet little bro character tho. he’s a babe. love him.
Sera: had the worst fucking writer I’ve ever seen and I willingly read the twilight saga twice by a shit ass racist white lady who okay’d pedophilia. like. Fuck you Kristjanson suck your own dick you fuck. had the worst options in regards to speak to her. has a thicc case of internalized racism that literally most of the fandom just loves to use against her. my lesbian neurodivergent queen. Would write a thousand fix it fics for her. Love her to bits. im gay.
Varric: I haven’t played DA2 so i don’t get why everyone wants to romance him but like. a dwarf romance? yes please. Idk he reminds me of my uncle so I only see him as fun uncle material. Deadass should adopt Cole and Merrill and co parent with Blackwall for Sera. dads? fuck yeah. love me some wholesome, present fathers.
Dorian: is a gay stereotype that I love/hate so much. and he’s also just as bad about being a creep bcc he sexualizes qunari men (in banter). I attribute that to shit writing tho. I want to protect him from all the “omg gay best friend!” people. he’d clearly be that tired gay that wouldn’t give a diddly damn about ur het romance. wanna talk about politics? he’s ur guy/gay.
Solas: “me, an intellectual:”. I don’t hate him, but I’m not about him. He comes off as mysterious and suave (which he totally is) but I deadass would not save him from himself because he’s a racist, exclusionist eggshell. idk. not my cup of tea, but I can totally see the appeal. And he’s interesting, I’ll totally say that. “I think the Dalish are garbage but they made you” is not a compliment. it’s so offensive. and such bait for “quirky girls” which I’m no fan of. Would be Achilles and let Patroclus (Lavellan in his case) die before he realized how his pride is literally a waste of time. If he gets a redemption arc I hope Lavellan gets to slap him before getting him to teach all about ancient Arlathan and show that the Evanuris weren’t all total dicknozzles. (Aka I really have a hard time believing that they’d be slavery cult things. especially since they’ve compared elves to indigenous ppl, Jews and the Romani.)
Vivienne: it’s so racist that they’d make a black woman be pro-slavery. That’s such internalized racism. She could’ve been the cool ass “educate yourself first before you speak, fool” ice lady, but NO. the devs could’ve kept the “Templars are a tool that I proudly can mandate” and the “circles are very good education” and we. Could. Have. Romanced. Her. Like. Fuck. Sake. I just wanna give her a hug and say “love yourself omg!!” and not even in a romantic way. Also: she and morrigan should not have been so antagonistic towards each other. I’d expect them to have great respect for each other, as they both moved up in the world through hardwork and very little help. They could learn different magic from each other too and still maintain that rival respect “oh you” mood. Sidenote: probably the cooler option for Divine. if her approval is high enough she’ll love and be loyal to you forever and i can’t see her agenda being bad. she improves the circles exponentially and tells all the antis to suck her pretty painted toes.
Josephine: an actual disney princess. romanced her my first playthrough. I love her so much. she just makes me so happy. And she’s like: “Integrity, Loyalty, peace. That is what it means to be a GREY WARDEN good fucking person.” she’s the person who would let you hold her hand if you got anxious and she’d be that person who shouldered the whole group project with finesse and poise and would probably lie for everyone as to not be mean. i love josie. her and leliana’s relationship is so cute, too. whether it’s romantic or not: women supporting women.
Leliana: if you leave her hardened you must hate her. why. she becomes so against herself. i like how shes feminine and lighthearted because that’s so powerful-- to remain hopeful when the world is hopeless. (its hard to know when to soften her/harden her so i get it but. google it. she deserves to be happy and sweet again.)
Cullen: uwu war criminal with shit ass “redemption arc” that was actually a half-assed (at BEST) recovery arc. Recovery isn’t linear, it isn’t pretty, and even the broken need to be told they are wrong in order to heal right. Like I’m offended by that bullshit. I’ve had to do some mental health recovery in the past and unlearning lots of toxic ideologies— which I’m still unlearning— and it bothers me that he gets an easy pass because he’s hot. It’s one thing if you like Cullen, it’s another thing if you hold him accountable.

"the name mila means sweet one, or dear one. it's of slavic origin, which means you could be from belarus, the czech republic, you could be bulgarian, croatian, macedonian, montenegrin, polish, russian, serbian, slovakian, slovenian, or ukrainian." shawn strutted through the door of the music shop, hands in his pockets. it was the next day, and he was back as promised.
"you memorized all of that, in alphabetical order? i thought you said you couldn't read." mila grinned as he leaned against the counter, "why are you here?"
shawn grinned, "one; i memorized that because i never said i wasn't good at memorizing things. two, i'm here because i needed to tell you that."
mila shook her head, looking up from her book, "you're here because you had to tell me that."
"yes." he looked insistent.
"well, if you're staying here, you might as well sit back here and keep me company. grab a guitar and play anything you want, i guess." shawn shrugged and chose a dark stained guitar, with little shine on it. mila pulled out a foldable chair that leaned against the wall, and so shawn sat down with the guitar. she could now see the rest of his bottom half. he wore black boots with scuffs on the edges of the soles. when he began plucking the strings, she saw his tattoo on the back of his hand. it was a bird, a small bird that was in motion. it looked biblical to her, for some reason.
mila took her book from the table, and shawn looked at the front cover, "i thought you were reading lord of the flies," he continued to play the guitar.
"yeah, i finished it last night. my tv show got boring. now it's frankenstein." mila looked down at the book placed on her thighs and couldn't help but look at them and not at the words on the page. every time she looked down she couldn't help but feel the taste of hatred in her mouth. she focused her attention back to the page. shawn continued the song on his guitar. she got lost in the music and set her book down, knowing she wouldn't read it anyway. "how long have you been playing guitar?"
"five years," shawn replied, taking his hands off the strings, "do you play anything?"
"yeah, violin. i haven't focused on it much since high school, though. i considered majoring in violin performance but i chose a different major. you're really good for five years, though." she looked back down at the guitar, "something isn't right though. did you tune it?"
"yes, a little bit." he looked at her with a look of confusion on his face.
"hand it here," she held her hands out and he gave her the guitar. she plucked the e string. "your e string is flat just a bit." she plucked the rest and stopped on the b string, "and your b string is also a bit flat."
shawn shook his head, "don't tell me you have perfect pitch."
"i have relative pitch. almost perfect pitch. my violin teacher would test me sometimes." she tuned them back up and quickly checked with a tuner. they were perfect. "here, keep playing mendes."
shawn didn't start, just looked at her, "grab a violin. i'll play a chord progression, and you do some improv." mila shrugged, got up and went to a back closet, grabbing a violin, tuning it, and rosining the bow. they played together and mila was happy, she was happy in the abandoned shop and for once she wasn't bored out of her mind. they stopped after a while, and shawn said in exasperation, "you're so good!"
"well, i have been playing for thirteen years," mila laughed, flaunting in an ironic tone. "look, my shift ends soon, and i have to go to a lecture. this was really fun though."
shawn sat up from his chair, "wait, give me your number. we can do this again." mila agreed and so she left twenty minutes later with his contact in her phone, meeting lea at their usual spot before a lecture.
"where have you been, mila?" they started walking back to campus through the busy city of toronto.
mila smiled, "i found out who he was. why he was so familiar."
lea tilted her head, "the customer? was he actually famous?"
mila nodded, "it was shawn mendes. i'm so stupid for not realizing. everyone is obsessed with him, but he acts like a normal person."
"dude, my little sister is like obsessed with him. don't forget about me when you're famous." lea bounced in her step as they turned another corner.
"what's that supposed to mean? we're friends, i wouldn't get famous. i'm not here to exploit him." mila gripped her backpack.
lea grinned, "oh, so you're friends?"
"shut up, lea." they sat through another lecture, though mila found this one rather entertaining considering that the professor kept getting mad at the janitorial staff, who ran huge vacuums down the hall. lea pointed out through the lecture that their professor also had a hickey poking from her collar, which made mila snort.
she turned around from her board, "have i said something humorous, ms. hall?"
mila shook her head, "no, i'm sorry professor, i have allergies. it wasn't a laugh, but i do find our topic today quite interesting, thank you for teaching this." the professor said nothing but smirked and turned back around.
"ass-kisser," lea muttered. mila grinned ear to ear, glad she was annoying her friend. when they had gotten home, lea plopped onto the couch and mila moved to the fridge, making herself another coffee (she had already had one not even two hours before). she connected her phone to her speaker, and started playing shawn's newest album. "so you listen to him too? i thought you didn't like pop music, it was too basic for you."
"are you trying to bash me for trying to expand my horizons of my musical choice? plus, this isn't your basic pop trash. the instrumentals in the back are amazing, and they perfectly are in time with the tempo-"
"okay, okay, okay, lets just start studying."
"i thought you didn't like studying," mila replied, mocking her, bringing her coffee to their dining table. lea grinned, opening her binder on the table and getting their notes out. she hadn't let mila out of the house and they only stopped for food and drink breaks. she had also tried to get mila to eat a bit more, but she insisted she was full. when lea was finally passed out her bed, she pulled on her oversized hoodie and made her way back on the familiar streets, feeling a little on edge from walking by herself at 11 pm.
she unlocked the music store and walked to the back, turning on the lights and going in the recording studio. playing the instrumentals in the background to one her favorite songs by shawn, she began to sing. her voice was deep but with one switch of styles she could be a peppy broadway singer.
don't cry or do
whatever makes you comfortable
i'm tired, too
there's nothing left to say
let's call a truce, cause i don't really wanna go to bed like this, yeah
mila didn't see that a figure walked through the entryway. it had been shawn, and seeing the lights on, he thought it was still open. he knocked on the closed recording room door, and mila turned to see him in shock. mila took off her headphones. "shit, i forgot to lock the door." the hourglass figure opened the door with a smile. "hey, shawn, what are you doing here?"
"i wanted to see if you're here. i forgot to text." mila let him in the studio, and he sat in the chair. "this is a nice recording place. were you singing?"
"yeah, i only really do it by myself. it was actually one of your songs. like to be you." shawn grinned.
"well, i'm flattered. lets hear it, i want to know if you're even more talented than i already know."
mila shrugged, "i don't know, i'm not that good."
"please? i'll get a guitar and we can sing it together if it makes you feel more comfortable." mila agreed, a little scared. shawn began singing the first verse after he sat back down, and then mila joined for the chorus. his eyes widened and a huge grin broke on his face. mila nervously put a piece of hair behind her ear, singing her verse by herself.
can I kiss you or not?
cause I'm not really sure right now of what you want
are you still mad at me? i'm hopin not
cause maybe we could go to the movies
i know that always cheers us up, hey
they finished the song, and shawn laughed in astonishment, "that was incredible, mila, incredible. have you taken singing lessons?" mila shook her head, "damn. you need to record an album or some shit because the world needs to hear this." shawn took her hand and it startled her a bit, but his hand felt reassuring
"thank you, i've always liked singing. i used to belt songs in the car while my dad drove me to my violin lessons." she giggled, and her hand was still connected to shawn's, her other one playing with the rip in her jeans.
"where are you from?" he asked.
she looked into his eyes, studying his face. his pupils dilated like before. "uh, i'm from the us. i used to live in california, southern california. 'moved out here for college. i visit my family every break."
shawn nodded. "hey, do you want to get dinner tomorrow? we can drive out somewhere and eat it in the trunk. nothing fancy."
mila smiled. "i'd like that. how about six?"
shawn agreed, "do you want to sing some more?" the answer was obvious, and the two of them spent hours in the shop until morning nearly broke. mila's test scores would be paying for this, but she didn't give any fucks whatsoever. mila was happy. nothing was on her mind but shawn and the music. she felt like she was floating on a sea of clouds, and nothing else existed.

Dearest O'Malley chapter 21
Chapter 21
Sweetie-Pie was talking to me that she was going on a trip for a few weeks. Since I knew Robin’s birthday was coming up, I guess it would be okay to have some guy time. Sweetie-Pie looked at me concerned and said; “Will you be okay without me a few weeks?” I met her gaze and said; “Oh yes, I’ll be fine. I have Robin’s birthday coming up and he wanted to try out my video-game device by playing games and watching NETFLIX. I have plenty of fish to fry.” Sweetie-Pie smiled understandingly and said; “Okay. I’ll see you in a few weeks.” then she kissed me good-bye for now and left. When I told her the boys about her trip, I knew it would be just me and the guys again. Gonzo already arranged out some things to do. Gonzo, Robin and I were hanging out at Gonzo’s house making a list together in private. We listed things we could do together to have fun on Robin’s birthday and for our next video. Gonzo  got our attention and said; “I have a perfect  idea to pass the time to not be bored.” Robin giggled, tossed a crumbled up newspaper at Gonzo and said; “Oh yeah? Like what? Having a ‘who’s bigger’ engine contest?” Gonzo tossed the crumpled up page back at Robin and said; “No. we’ll take turns pranking each other . For instance, we’ll take one day to pull a prank on the three of us. Then the next , we’ll take two weeks  of having pranks. First O’Malley will prank you, then me and so on.” I looked at Robin as we were laying outside on the grass and said; “Sounds like fun.” Robin looked at me back and said; “Yeah, let’s do it.” so we drove to Robin’s house to hang out.
That same day, Gonzo and I pulled a prank on Robin during lunch at his house. Robin had coffee brewing nice and hot while Robin  was cooking a casserole. He was keeping his eye on it while timing it in his head. So when Robin wasn’t paying attention, I poured NESQIUCK chocolate milk mix into the coffee pot and stirred it up. When Robin took the casserole out, he poured himself a cup of decaf coffee and sipped it. He looked at it weird, smelled it, and tasted it again. He smacked his chops and said; “Why does my coffee taste like chocolate?” Gonzo and I tried  not to laugh. I had something to say, but I kept a straight face and said; “What do you mean?” Robin smelled his coffee, took another sip and said; “my coffee. It has some kind of wrong flavor to it. I bought vanilla bean roast coffee. I’m not sure if it’s the coffee I bought or the creamer. I don’t think I care about it.” Robin took another sip and I said; “Well if you hate it, stop drinking it.” Robin set the cup down, picked it up again and drank some more of it. I thought Robin didn’t care for the coffee that he was drinking, but I believed it tasted good and yucky at the same time, it was actually enjoyable. I looked at Gonzo who was just about to burst out laughing and was trying hard not to laugh. I looked at Robin who was still drinking his coffee, giggled and said; “Dude, stop drinking it. I thought you didn’t care for it.” Robin made another gross face that was priceless and said; “Something’s wrong with that coffee. I know it.” Finally Gonzo and I laughed. It was momentarily   a bust in the gut. I looked at Gonzo and looked at Robin and said; “I got you, man. I dumped some NESQUIK in your whole coffee pot.” Robin dumped out his mug in the sink as Gonzo and I laughed. Robin rinsed out his mug and said; “Oh! No wonder my coffee didn’t taste right.” Gonzo was laughing  so hard that he fell down. I laughed too because it was always  good to see that once in a long time, we can prank each other. Still laughing, Gonzo got up and Robin pushed him down as he laughed too. I was even laughing so hard I had a tear falling out of my eye. Robin guffawed  and said; “I’m gong to get you back  for that, O’Malley.”
The next day, it was Gonzo’s turn to be pranked. In the afternoon, Robin and I used Natalie’s cell phone to prank call Gonzo at my house. I dialed Gonzo’s number and disguised my voice as a woman’s voice so Gonzo would think a random woman was calling him. When Gonzo picked up the  line and said; “Hello, this is Gonzo Continental, who is this speaking?” Robin went to a different room and laughed while I took a deep breath to keep from laughing. Calmly and seductively, I said; “Hello there big boy, my name is Ellen Christina. I’m looking for somebody white as snow and a Lincoln.”   I added in my best woman giggle, but Robin almost laughed, he went outside to guffaw, Gonzo didn’t hear it. He was too busy on the other end of the conversation breathing heavily and hardily, like if he were to be possessed by a ghost. Gonzo cleared his throat  and said; “I’m a Lincoln and I’m white as snow. My name is Gonzo.” oh man, this was too easy!  I looked at Robin snickering  while covering the phone with the tread of my front tire so Gonzo didn’t hear a thing while tempting not to chuckle out loud. I uncovered the phone and said in my best woman‘s voice; “Hmm Gonzo, I like that name. What do you do?” Gonzo paused. I think Gonzo was having a bashful spaz and maybe that’s why he was pausing for five seconds. I waited to see what else I could hear and said; “I hang out with my two friends, Robin and O’Malley. We like to hang out a lot, drink beer, go to town, and cruise around.” I smiled at Robin, winked at him and pretended I was a woman some more. I covered my smile and said; “Wow, what are you like in person?” Gonzo was silent again for 3 minutes and said; “I’m older than 30 years and I got two doors. I ’m handsome too.” I almost laughed out loud, but I held onto it. Then I heard; “Hello? Miss Ellen.” Quickly, I hung up and guffawed as Robin fell to the floor laughing. I returned to my normal voice and said; “It was a good thing I hung up the phone before I could start laughing. Did you hear him breathing on the phone? He sounding like he ran out of breath.” Robin slapped his front tire on the carpet as he laughed. He breathed in and said: “oh man…O’Malley…I’m so glad I met you. That was the best prank I ever saw. We sure cat-fished him good.” we bumped tires to say ‘good job’ and settled down a minute.
The next day, I woke up knowing, I was next. I was a bit nervous about what Gonzo and Robin were going to do. It just so happens when I get nervous, I get jumpy. Gonzo and Robin came over with grins that got me more nervous than ever. I looked at the two of them but Robin said; “Relax, man. We brought you some gasoline to drink so you’ll feel all energized all day long or wherever you’re going.” it was like Robin read my mind. Robin gave me a red gasoline tank with a blue bow on top of it. Something was mighty fishy  with this picture. I opened the can and smelled it. The odor was normal and seemed to be okay. I had a sip of it to see if it had anything suspicious added to it. Ironically, it didn’t taste wrong like it was messed with. Although, it did have a hint of something in it that was a big difference. I sampled a second sip of it, swished it in my mouth swallowed it and said: “This is really kind of you to bring me some gasoline. But what were you two planning to get me with?” Robin smiled like there wasn’t anything wrong and said; “Oh, we decided it couldn’t wait until later to get you.” I took another drink to taste out the answer to the hint that was hiding in the gasoline and when I found it, I said: “This is decaf. You better not be planning to take pictures of me in vegetable suits for the internet.” I felt moody all of a sudden. I started to twitch a little and my eyes began to wink one at a time rapidly. I chugged down the entire gasoline gallon and threw it over their hoods irritated. I felt a quick sense of calming down. My eyes stopped winking rapidly after three seconds. I looked at them strange and was about to say something. Robin and Gonzo tried not to laugh. I looked at them both twice and said; “What?” Robin stopped smiling and said; “Oh nothing.” then, I started to suspect that they did something to the fuel in which I drank and boy, was I was a fool to fall for the prank. I was twitching a little bit and said; “What’d ya’ll do?” Gonzo giggled and said; “nothing. We were remembering a joke that you’ll hear later.” my eyes rolled and I was starting to wink again. I had the jitters. I started to get a jolt of energy. I soon knew I was dashing around the inside house uncontrollably. I had all this frisky energy. I jumped on the couch and sprinted over the coffee table. It was  almost like I was suspended in mid air when I flew over the tables. I dashed for the master bedroom, jumped on the bed and shot out of there like a space rocket. I ran to the laundry room and back, passing Gonzo and Robin who were laughing to their knees.  I bolted out of the door and ran around outside the house unable to be still. I jumped the fence, spooked Ol’ Reliable and turbo boosted over him. I sped down the street and back until finally I flew over the gate like The General Lee. I  passed out fully on the grass.
Two hours later, I woke up still faced down on the grass where I was before. Robin and Gonzo were laughing at me. I felt like my old self and I looked at Robin. He was swinging the gas can smiling and waiting for something to happen. I looked at Gonzo too and said; “Would you like to tell me what you did?”
Robin chuckled and said; “We gave you gasoline that caused you to go crazy-hyper. Happy April Fools, man.”
“You got me.” I said after belching aloud.
The three of us pranked each other for two weeks From me, to Gonzo, and back to Robin. Gonzo and I bought rice crispy treats and rolled them in caffeinated espresso beans, wrapped them in plastic wrap and gave it to Robin at my house. I knew for a fact when Robin gets espresso coffee, he gets totally jittery from the caffeine. Robin opened one crispy treat, and smelled it.
“what kind of bars are these?” he asked.
I tried not to look obvious and said; “it’s an energy bar made out of rice crispy treats. It’s suppose to support healthy day-long energy. I got it from Natural Grocers.”
Robin took a bite out of it, liked it and said; “these are pretty good.”  He shoved the whole thing in his mouth and ate another one until it was gone. Soon, Robin started to get jittery and couldn’t hold still or talk right. He started gazing into the twilight zone of nothing for two hours. His eye twitched rapidly. Robin started to breathe rapidly like he was possessed by something and started babbling incoherently.
“Why is the room shaking. I don’t like the room shaking, I’m trying to balance.” Robin said quickly.
He stopped abruptly  and rapidly was in a daze of the random abyss of nothingness or so it looked like. He was looking for invisible spiders.
Robin got on the loveseat, jumped off  landed with a belly flop, pit-patting the carpet like if there was something there.
“I thought I saw a tarantula. I don’t like this tarantula crawling freely in the house.  Go get the cage for it and some food to occupy this hairy legged thing. Don‘t just stand there, help me.” Robin said.
Gonzo and I laughed hysterically and quietly. We wished we had a video camera because he looked like a random tweeker looking for something that wasn’t there.  This was the best prank ever not to forget. Robin passed out due to a crash between caffeine and sugar. We put him on the couch to sleep it off. He had been passed out for 8 hours on the clock straight and when he woke up, he forgot what he was doing. He had a look on his face of wonder of how he got on the couch.  Evidently, we told him what happened.
“You got weird after you ate all those espresso flavored crispy treats.  I said.
Robin gave me this priceless look on his face of dumbfound confusion.
“What?” Robin asked.
I chuckled and said; “Dude, you got pretty stoned. We pranked you by rolling store bought crispy treats in coffee beans.”
Robin fell off the couch.
“Huh?” he simply said almost pathetically.
It took him 5 minutes to realize it was a prank and he realized by exclaiming “Oh, that!”
He started laughing and then Gonzo too. I sighed like ‘really? How much longer do I have to make you realize something”
“How much more dim can you be?” I laughed.
“Man, you got me. Good one, O’Malley.” Robin said.
The pranks continued  the next day. Robin and I pranked Gonzo. He was out in his yard while we were at his house. He wasn’t paying attention when we did it. Robin prepared the firecrackers that he bought in a pack of 100s. I looked at them before we fired them.
“How many are there?” I asked.
Robin snickered mischievously as he looked at me.
“100, I think Gonzo is going to have his treads knocked off…literally.” Robin said.
“I just hope he doesn’t wet himself with these after the bang. You know how he feels about these stupid things’”
“I know that O’Malley. It’s just a prank for bubble gum sake.” Robin said sticking the firecrackers under Gonzo while he was distracted.
Gonzo was singing along to the song “My girl” by the Temptations but wasn’t pitch perfect. Robin puts the package of firecrackers in a heavy plastic bowl and casually sent me with his “Biggest lighter in the world” lighter and I lit the fuse quickly. I took cover with Robin and watched as Robin filmed it all with the camera.
The firecrackers all went off scaring Gonzo and making him run for the hills. He was so scared that he jumped over the backyard fence, but his muffler got caught on a tip of the wood plank of the fence. He fell and scraped himself on the chin. We had followed him as he was running scared and were laughing hard. Gonzo looked at us as he was panting hard and loud.
“Was this you guys’ idea of pranking me?” Gonzo crooned in fright.
“Yes.” I chuckled with a fast answer of one word.
Gonzo looked as if he saw a ghost but he added; “When is it your turn to get pranked?”
“O’Malley’s turn.” Robin answered.
“I’m going to get you O’Malley” Gonzo said.
I just laughed hoping it wasn’t too serious. Gonzo hadn’t realized he was being filmed until Robin turned off the camera. When Gonzo had a minute to calm down, he looked at us and his face was just as red as Robin’s body. He was frightened and raged at the same time.
But the next day, I was nervous again to see what I’d be in for. Robin and Gonzo came over with a box of Duncan Donuts from in town. They told me they wanted a truce to call it even that we outdid ourselves. I guessed it was okay when I looked inside to be sure. They had picked out powdered sugared  donuts. I helped myself to one of them. But when I took a bite out of it, the entire donut tasted horrible like old flour. I spat it out and tried another to see if it was okay. It wasn’t. they had all tasted terrible. I threw the donut in the trash.
“Ugh, what did those people do? Cover them with asbestos?” I said trying to get the taste out of my mouth.
Robin and Gonzo were laughing and said; “Got you.”
“We covered every donut in flour so we got you. Oh man, your face was priceless.” Robin said.
Once they’ve calmed down a moment, I took those donuts and rubbed them in their faces just for a few laughs.
“How do you enjoy your donuts, you couple of Duncans?” I’m laughing hard.
The two of them were trying to get the bitter taste of flour out of their mouths as much as I had been for a while.
“I’ll Duncan your donuts, you  white sanded dune buggy.” Gonzo said.
We had a donut throwing war at each other for a few minutes. There was smears of chocolate, lemon, and cream filled centers wiped everywhere. We were a mess but having a blast. When we had enough, we settled down on the porch. It was a good prank and it was the time to stop before we went too far. Robin agreed and called it even.
Natalie came out, looked at us and said. “What did you guys do have a party?” she was laughing. I asked for her help in cleaning us off one by one while Robin took care of the donut mess. I was bathed first. Smears of chocolate and strawberry jam ran off my hood like a water fountain.
Once we were all cleaned up, we went cruising in town for a relaxing evening drive on the street. We even swung by Duncan Donuts fir some nice tea. A few people in newer cars took our pictures while we enjoyed the night. Robin told us a true story a long time ago while the evening was just reminding him of this funny tale. He had a fussy girlfriend who was spoiled  rotten so Robin added that he was ending his love with her because he was sick of her attitude. He left her in a sandbox in the park and went home after he told her he was done. When it came to dates, Robin had  strange ways of showing love and he had a way of ending a relationship.

You know what’s funny?
I used to hate then love Tony Stark. Now i hate him again. You see, i was first introduced to him in the original Civil War comic. Seeing him pull all that shit ( and that lead to One More Day. That shit is unforgivable ) made me hate him. Then i saw Iron Man 1 and grudgingly liked him. Fast forward to CA:CW and MCU Tony surprisingly grew on me. Even though he did a lot of shitty things, he was still kinda of likable. I even was a member of the tony stark defense squad.
But you know what? His Stans made me hate him. After Civil War, they lost their fucking minds and starting Stanning him so much and dragging anyone who wasn’t him pissed me off. At first i thought it was just anger because he lost and that this was gonna die down in the following months. But it’s still going on and it has gotten worse. Tony Stans now see him as this person who can’t do now wrong, always is right ( the same thing they accuse Steve off ) and needs to be “protected” uwu.
All this TeamCap bashing / Tony Stanning finally came to a head and it made me hate the dude even more when i first saw him the that comic. So in the Stan’s mad need to make Tony look good by shitting on anyone else other than Tony ironically turned me away from him and i won’t be surprised if anyone else is tired of this shit. Screw Tony Stans.

namseok for no.11 and if you make it the usual amount of angsty i'm gonna cry.... just saying..... ily bea 💜
anja my dude my bestest my love, i’ll really try not to make it the usual amount of angst! i can do happy!!! i can do fun i can do this!!! /cracks knucklesupdate: i tried cried and am so, so sorry but ilu2
send me a ship and one of these and i’ll write a mini fic
11 things you said when you were drunk (namseok)
hoseok is woken up by the feeling of a headache working through his head with the intensity of a jackhammer. his tongue is glued to the roof of his mouth and he is in need of painkillers and a shitload of water. telling by the ache of his legs and arms and the growl of his tummy he should maybe just get a new meat shell.
when he tries to get up his skull is being pierced, or at least it feels like it and he groans and presses his hands over his face carefully, his fingers damp and his body too hot, sweaty sheets curled around him, strangling him.
“oh my god-”
“-you’re awake! good then, i guess”, a low voice hums from somewhere above and his dizzy, tired thoughts (accompanied by a shrill tinnitus) are convinced it’s god he’s talking to before he remembers the last person he was with.
“hey noodles, mind sharin’ some water?”, hoseok croaks and reaches out blindly, eyes still closed against the bright light of a sunny day reaching through the window of what he supposes must be namjoon’s room, telling by the scent and the softness of the mattress underneath his tensed and exhausted body. namjoon gives him what he asks for, cool bottle a pleasure to his sweaty palm and he downs it within seconds, sighing loudly when done and throwing it in the general direction of the trash bin (and hears the satisfying rustle of the plastic bag shortly after).
a minute or two he lays there, forearm over his face, sprawled out on namjoon’s bed and he hears namjoon’s body shifting on the floor besides the bed. his friend is quiet, too quiet, he can tell though being hungover and still dizzy. so he turns his head with a frown, blinks down at namjoon and studies his face through irritated slits.
“hey!” he nudges namjoon’s knee, let’s his wrist stay there, balancing shakingly. his hand feels too heavy, his arm even more. namjoon looks up, all doe-eyed and pouting. that is unusual for him, except when he’s pretending - which he is right now.
oh shit.
“you’re quiet. did somethin’ happen yesterday?”, hoseok asks. his voice is hoarse and the faint sting in his throat tells him he must’ve been really loud yesterday. or worse. he hopes he just sung along too enthusiastically. namjoon shakes his head wildly, grins not broad but actually strained and since it doesn’t reach his eyes they stay wide open and give his expression a somewhat psychotic undertone.
“nope!”, he answers then, popping the last syllable and though hoseok’s frown deepens and he tilts his head to get a better look at the other namjoon doesn’t falter, just continues staring. which makes it very obvious to hoseok that something’s off; namjoon is one of the worst liars he knows but then again try fooling jung hoseok.
“you’re lying”, he deadpans and coughs out a laugh, sitting up with a heavy groan before he sits cross-legged and face to face with namjoon, staring at his every mimic and gesture. his thoughts are still a spiral downwards, faint memories a colorful blur but his observational skills are as sharp as always. namjoon presses his lips together, puts a hand on his neck as a poor excuse to lower his eyes and hoseok tilts his head slightly to the side.
“joon-ah, tell me. right now, or i’m gonna-”
“-you were, like, super drunk, okay? i don’t blame you, i really don’t!”, it bursts out of namjoon, he even raises his palms in a defending manner and once again blinks up at hoseok with wide eyes, tousled hair and one ear still red from where he slept on it like death itself, giving him an even more child-like, innocent appearance. hoseok thinks about that, or at least tries to, and pinches the bridge of his nose to numb the everlasting headache. inhaling deeply he tries to bring back any kind of memory of the former evening and night but there’s just the faint throb of the skull-piercing pain and a blur of colors, scents and noises mixing together to something far too psychedelic and fucked up for past-drunk hoseok and his confused and seemingly slightly scared friend.
“ ‘kay, cool. super drunk. what else we got?”, hoseok asks and doesn’t know if he really wants to know. does he? nonetheless, namjoon obediently answers, voice loud and jumpy:
“you- you said some things and man, it’s cool! nothing nasty, just as i dragged you home-”
“-you what? how drunk-”, hoseok interrupts annoyed.
“-yeah, i gave you a piggyback actually and-”, namjoon tries to continue.“-what the fuck! what the fucking-”, hoseok interrupts again, voice growing shrill.
“-watch your profanity!”
“why’d you have to gimme a piggyback? dude, how gone was i?”, hoseok asks, voice not quieter but less hysteric. not that he minds being dragged on namjoon’s slender form but how did he even, honestly. the guy is a walking disaster on two legs without holding up another weight close to his, all muscles and energy, on top of his clumsy bean sticks.
at that namjoon shrugs, kind of exaggerating, pulling a face of pure distress and desperately gesturing around with his hands and hoseok can see that he almost hits long, slender fingers against the bed frame. hoseok just groans again, presses one hand over his face and waves the other dismissively at whatever namjoon wants to say because he already knows.
“fine, get it, i get it! super gone, ‘kay!”, he murmurs defeatedly, brushing a hand through his hair he looks at namjoon’s bashful and overly attentive face again and wants to punch him in said face a bit.
“but what’s that face for. what did i say”, he asks in a deadpan voice, not even raising it in the end quizzically like asking but more like demanding an answer, very well aware of his drunken self spreading everything that swims and buzzes through his brain immediately by yelling it out into the world - or trying to tell whoever happens to be next to him at that given moment. namjoon opens his mouth, pauses, looks around in a call for help. he has a finger raised and points it at hoseok absentmindedly and seems very desperate to find a halfway okay and acceptable way to describe whatever it was that hoseok did and said last night.
hoseok’s insides curl into nervous snakes, clenching his fists he bumps them against his knees and a low and impatient hum grows in his throat, turning into a whiny and high-pitched noise, his voice wavering until he reaches out and shoves namjoon’s shoulder who grunts and falls back a little before opening his mouth.
“it’s actually kind of hard to replicate our dialogue. more of a monologue, though. your monologue, that is”, namjoon rambles and his hands are doing this nervous thing again where they fling around in vague gestures, tangled in his hair, resting on his neck, tapping against the curve of his jaw, his lips every now and then. it drives hoseok crazy and he wants to both slap namjoon’s hands down and hold them tight so namjoon can’t use them to distract his gaze and busy himself and yell at namjoon to finally spit it out.
“i swear to god if you don’t tell me-”
“-you don’t remember anything?”, namjoon desperately asks, loudly over hoseok and blinks up at him and when hoseok shakes his head he presses his lips together in defeat, dimples drawing deep and averting his eyes again he scratches his right brow before he sighs deeply.
“okay, fine. so, we were at the club, and then at another, we met a few people and you wouldn’t stop dancing-”
“-which is so unusual!”
“-please don’t interrupt me. it’s hard enough to try to tell you this without you commenting on everything!”“i’m super nervous, of course i’d comment on everything!”“i know your nervous behaviors, hobi, but please.”
“sometimes i want to choke you. no hard feelings!”, hoseok chirps sarcastically but gestures namjoon to continue and mimics locking his mouth, throwing away an imaginary key. his insides are still a mixture of iron pressing him into the mattress and jelly making him want to move all of his limbs at once, throw up and additionally maybe jump out of the window, he can’t stand the tension in the air, surrounding and suffocating them.
“so, we’re there and we both drink far too much, okay?”
“we’ve been there a gazillion-”
“-what did i say about interruptions!”
“continue, my dearest friend”, hoseok sighs and actually presses his palms over his mouth. namjoon rolls his eyes at that, swallows and scratches his lower back, eyes darting around in a search for the right words.
“it was just really weird? you were in a kind of sentimental mood, you know? it was round about two blocks from here when you suddenly sat down and didn’t wanted to go on anymore”, namjoon starts again and hoseok’s neck and shoulders tense. when he tries to picture the situation the image becomes more clear in his head, he thinks his memory is coming back, this is not a picture his mind makes up to underline and visualize a story.
there’s his arm around namjoon’s neck though the other is way taller than him but he always manages to pull him down to his level. he thinks he remembers namjoon’s army coat against his leather jacket, namjoon’s side pressed against his and a pained groan when hoseok tugs at him too abruptly, hears his own laughter throbbing inside of his head. okay, that’s fine.
“why did i sit down”, hoseok asks slowly and namjoon avoids his piercing gaze.
“i don’t know, you just said you wouldn’t go any further and that i have to carry you”, namjoon mutters and hoseok feels his ears getting red and a nervous laughter bubbling in his chest, leaving his throat loud and obnoxious.
“hah, why would i- but you carried me?”
“well i was tired and you were super drunk and i wanted us home and safe and-”
“joon-ah.”
“yeah, i convinced you that a piggyback is just as cool as being carried bridal style”, namjoon coughs out and lifts a hand to wipe his nose, actually hiding a lopsided smile. the burn of hoseok’s ears spreads onto his neck.
“are you serious, i did not-”
“yeah, you did. but i somehow managed to get you on my back and-”
“-oh god, no! wait”, hoseok exclaims, almost yells and covers his eyes, shakes his head like he wants to get rid of the image when it blossoms behind closes eyes.
there he sits, on the ground seemingly, the perspective ant-like and his hands reaching out towards namjoon who is bent forward in front of hoseok, a wasted and anxious expression on his face, lit up by streetlights grotesquely.
“did i make grabby hands at you?”, hoseok asks coyly and when namjoon doesn’t answer he peakes through his fingers and sees namjoon suppressing a smile by biting his lower lip and nodding slowly, looking up in amusement yet very carefully.
“you did make grabby hands, yeah. pretty cute. you remember?”
“i think i do. wish i would not”, hoseok mutters and rests his head in his hands, elbows steadied on his knees as the memories come crashing in.
he thinks he was hanging off namjoon’s back with loose limbs, arms dangling around his neck, his right cheek pressed to namjoon’s left and his legs softly kicking at the long, clumsy bean sticks carrying him ever so often. hoseok thinks he remembers that his belly was a warm, swirling mess that felt good and that his chest was bubbling and even warmer and feeling even better. his cheeks ache and maybe that is because he was grinning like an idiot the whole time, wasn’t he?
“and you said something about how i smelled good which i didn’t believe because we were just coming out of the club and everything was smoke and club and shit. but you insisted and i know better than to fight with an intoxicated hoseok”, namjoon finishes causally and hoseok hears his own voice ringing inside of his head, too loud and words slurring, hot breath against namjoon’s neck smelling like jägermeister and his head throbbing and flashes of what seems like electricity in his memory lighting up the scene but that was probably just cars passing by.
“you smell sooo good, joon-ah, sososo SO good! very, very good! i love your smell, joon-ahhh! you smell-”
“-jesus, joseph and maria, i know, ho- shit, oh crap, you’re so fuckin’ heavy i’m gonna pass the fuck out! stop fuckin’ rubbing your face into mine, dude, i’m gonna fall over, shit fuck for fucks- fucking fuckery!”
namjoon has that habit of swearing very intensely and creatively as soon as alcoholic liquid hits his tongue and he didn’t disappoint this time, hoseok still hears his angry growls and breathy swears as lively as possible.
“uhm, do you remember what you said close to home? and, uhh, here?”, namjoon asks quietly, watching hoseok’s face going through different changes of emotions that come to an halt at something close to disgust, terror and embarrassment. he snaps out of it and blinks at namjoon over his hands, palms pressed together with fingers ghosting over his mouth as if he’s praying. for a complete loss of memory of the last night, probably.
the low hum that leaves his throat softly could be understood as “no” and namjoon nods, disappointment washing over his face and it’s that kind of expression that makes hoseok’s insides squirm painfully. his heart skips a beat and he wants to reach out to namjoon, his fingers are twitching but he presses them against his lips again, spreading them, hearing his knuckles protest lightly.
wasn’t it always like that? he really wants to reach out, unsure what his fingers want to do and would end up doing but it’s an urge he can hardly suppress and another reason why he isn’t around as often anymore. namjoon is his friend since forever and he doesn’t want to make namjoon uncomfortable, things between them stiff and awkward.
but things are stiff and awkward right now, namjoon is keeping words in the back of this throat that once belonged to hoseok. he spit them out, let them stumble out and now namjoon has to carry the burden of whatever he said and forgot. now namjoon feels bad about telling hoseok when it was him who said things he probably meant but didn’t want the insignificantly younger to hear, things he doesn’t want him to know.
hoseok is feeling sick, he wants to throw up just to release that guilt pressing down onto his stomach but knows it wouldn’t solve anything. so instead he reaches out, fingers ghosting over namjoon’s bleached hair and tips pressing against his oily forehead, shoving lightly. namjoon whines softly, his lashes flutter and he closes his eyes when his head rolls back onto his shoulders again. there’s those little wrinkles on his chin as he purses his lips, pouting. he looks soft and tired and vulnerable and hoseok’s heart aches a little bit, throbbing heavily.
“namjoon-ah, please tell me what i said. i gotta know”, he pleas quietly, voice wavering in annoyance but soft undertone comforting. namjoon releases a heavy breath through his nose, rubs at his eyes with one hand, fingers and thumb pressing into his skin. he continues doing that whilst mumbling an answer: “well, the things you said.. it’s more about how you said them? like i said, you were super emotional and it hit me kinda hard? first of you told me you loved me more often than usual, okay?”
hoseok swallows around the lump building in his throat and though his ribcage tightens he shrugs it off with another laughter, just as loud and obnoxious as the first.
“dude, we say that all the time-”
“-i know but it felt weird? not wrong but the way you said it..”
“hey, unlike other people-”, he coughs and let’s it sound like kim seokjin in between, “-i’m not a performance major slash acting student but let me have my moments!”, hoseok brushes it off, his neck and ears heating up too fast, his throat still tight, his voice overly loud in his ears. namjoon just looks at him and suddenly he seems like he has lived through five of their lifespans combined, with his fingers resting against his jaw he appears nothing but disbelieving.
hoseok’s strained smile falters and dies on his lips and he blinks once, twice before sucking in a breath and holding it just to feel the lack of oxygen making him feel even worse physically for a reason other than his conflicted emotions and the swirl of uncertain numbing coherent thoughts. he just looks at namjoon as namjoon looks at him and because hoseok is slouched over, with his elbows resting on his knees, and namjoon sitting on the ground cross-legged yet still tall they’re kinda even.
and it is so easy for hoseok to read namjoon. whilst namjoon is studying books hoseok kept studying people and he just reads in between the lines, studies the wrinkles between namjoon’s brows and the curve of his lips and the different depths of his dimples and he just knows. but at this very moment hoseok feels like looking at a book about a species he doesn’t know in a language not known to mankind and he swallows at the sting of the distance that forms between them. if hoseok would lift up his hand he could easily pull namjoon into some awkward but reassuring half-hug, laugh it off, say something along the lines how stupid they’re being and that they should just get back to normal and that he’s sorry - but he doesn’t.
hoseok doesn’t and namjoon doesn’t do anything either and hoseok feels that namjoon is reaching out to him, that he’s very carefully, tenderly but also precisely with the certain of a surgeon is pressing his finger onto hoseok’s softest spot that he hid so well. and it’s so hard not to waver and fall apart under namjoon’s tired and questioning, pleading gaze that he feels it physically and it’s more exhausting than any choreography, babysitting his younger cousins, running after the bus and night’s out dancing and drinking will ever be.
and he’s foolish to feel relief when namjoon lowers his eyes once again because namjoon’s favored weapon is still his words and how easy they seem to find him, sliding off his tongue artistically and spot-on, mustering to hide even the sharpest needles and venomous knives in candy cotton and soft silk.
“you know what hit me the hardest, hoseok? you said.. you really said that, and your voice, it was so soft i wish you’d remember”, namjoon begins and he actually huffs out a laugh at that, shaking his head he rubs at his jaw furiously and hoseok cringes inside and hates himself because that is definitely not a good sign, one of namjoon’s gestures of uncertain and how he must fight with himself internally.
“namjoon. please”, hoseok whispers, voice too soft and hoarse at the same time and the tension feels so thick that he can’t fidget around anymore, it’s handcuffing him and he sits there unmoving and practically waits for death to come and tear him apart, take him away.
“you said”, namjoon begins and his voice is suddenly very loud and vehement and hoseok feels the vibration of emotion trying to break the steadiness more than he hears it though it is audible; namjoon’s voice shakes ever so slightly, “you said you want to grow old with me.”
hoseok wants to swallow but his throat is too tight. he wants to lick his lips but his jaw is clenched and his nostrils dilate as he tries to get oxygen into his system, he won’t open his mouth. if he does he’ll cry and he can’t, he simply can’t. neither is he blinking because his eyes are burning and he can’t move an inch, his spine feels twisted, is aching and his stomach is so heavy he thinks it pulls him right through the mattress deep down under. he just looks at namjoon who looks at him again and his eyes are so goddamn huge, they’re so huge, almost round and there’s so much swimming in these orbs and his full lips are slightly agape and his chin is doing that wrinkly thing again and hoseok wants to curl himself around namjoon to protect him - but how to protect namjoon when the enemy is hoseok himself?
i want to grow old with you.
hoseok thinks he remembers saying that, he feels his dry tongue twitching at that comfortably like it said those words already and he wants to die. it’s not big, beautiful  and breath-taking words that belong on cinema screens but it’s so intimate and tender, so specific. he knows his drunk self, has seen videos and has scared people away with how much of an emotional train wreck he becomes. but never ever did he think it was possible to hit namjoon with his emotional baggage, with this shitload of burning hot affection and twisting cold uncertain pulsing inside of his chest whenever he just thinks about the younger. but he did and he wants to die.
grow old with me.
hoseok’s lips part and he sucks in a heavy breath, raises trembling fingers to shield his face and releases a shuddering breath. he has to explain himself, he has to say something, anything to make things right again and put namjoon’s feet back onto even ground because he still looks at hoseok like he’s lost somewhere between the hysterical shouts of i love you and the last sleepily sighed grow old with me.
“look, namjoon-”
“-is it true?”, namjoon asks and his voice his high and thin with timidity and hoseok looks at him, startled. namjoon’s face, however, is the opposite; there’s a stern frown sitting on his face and he’s pressing his lips together, leaning forward and he seems almost like he’s threatening hoseok to tell the truth. the latter lets out a huff that isn’t anywhere close to a laughter and wets his lips, blinks against the burn covering his eyes.
“i guess”, he then answers quietly, watching namjoon’s every move. namjoon’s lashes flutter before he nods slowly, pondering.
“i mean-”, hoseok hurriedly speaks up again, voice loud and shrill breaking through the faint throbbing in his chest, the tinnitus in his head, “-i mean, sure we wanna grow old with each other, you’re one of my bestest friends!”
namjoon’s face falters and it’s one of the ugliest and saddest things hoseok ever had to witness and his insides curl around, his bones crunching under the weight of guilt dripping down on hoseok like hot, fluid iron and he chokes out something between a laughter and a groan at what he did.
“yeah, i guess”, namjoon murmurs and his voice is hollow and it’s not strong enough to hold any kind of sincerity. a few seconds, maybe half a minute passes in which hoseok sits very still and his head is really loud and yelling awful things at him, his throat and ribcage are being held way too tightly by some evil force. and he feels so bad for making namjoon feel bad, he wants to reach out but he’s an elephant standing in a castle of class and his every move and raise of his voice could break everything into shards.
but namjoon is lowering his head, bringing out a long arm and steadying himself as he gets up and there’s a shadow on his face that isn’t drawn by the physics of light and hoseok’s heart throbs and aches. his body reacts faster than his mind so he finally reaches out and wraps his fingers around namjoon’s wrist.
“i’ll get you something to eat-”
“-wait! i don’t wanna grow old with you”, hoseok nothing but shouts and it echoes from the walls that seem too close and namjoon looks down at him with wide eyes. then his mouth is standing wide open and an expression of confusion and hurt is washing over his features.
“you don’t want to- hoseok, what the-”
“shit no! i didn’t mean it like that, i’m sorry, i want to grow old with you, hell, i want it so much - but not as a friend”, hoseok finishes breathlessly, his voice is so full of emotions that is wavers and gets stuck in his throat too many times but hoseok keeps staring at namjoon and from the way namjoon’s eyes light up and his lips twitch he understands, right?
and hoseok dares to interpret the glint in namjoons eyes, washing over his face and making it glow and hoseok’s heart ache in the most pleasant way, as hope. he feeds off that hope and it enables him to open his mouth again.
“namjoon-ah, i never told you and i’m- i’m so sorry but i don’t wanna grow old with you like that. i mean, of course i want, god i want that so badly, but i also want to share a home with you and like, own two cats and a dog and maybe a fancy bath tub and-”
“-and share a bed, maybe”, namjoon quietly butts in, voice soft but no longer uncertain as he looks down at hoseok and his expression makes hoseok’s bones melt; there’s that upwards curl in the corners of his mouth and his eyes growing smaller, grin spreading pressing them into adorable little crescents and namjoon looks so overly fond that hoseok feels his throat tighten and there’s something bursting inside of his chest.
“and share a bed, that would be dope. maybe go to museums together-”
“-and hold hands and whilst you stare at the art i’d only stare at you.”
“you cheesy asshole, i hate you so much!”
and hoseok’s tongue feels too clumsy and too heavy to form any words but there’s no need to because namjoon understands. just like hoseok reads namjoon’s body language like it’s his mother tongue namjoon speaks hoseok fluently, with all the rambles and too many hollow words, he filters through them and his head magically manages to find a sense without hoseok having to explain himself.
so when hoseok chokes out “i hate you, i hate you so much oh my god”, he just leans down and and wraps his long, slender arms around hoseok’s shaking form and when the first sob breaks out it’s muffled by namjoon’s shoulder and he shoves and presses himself onto hoseok and the bed carefully so they’re sitting there with limbs entangled and hoseok shivering against namjoon’s steady form. his damp, cold fingers stroke over hoseok’s warm, quivering back and he hums sweet little nothings.
“there, there”, he goes.
“i really, r-really ha- hate you”, sniffs hoseok, hot tears stinging in his eyes and dampening namjoon’s neck and shoulder.
“no, you don't”, namjoon murmurs bemused and rubs his ear against hoseok’s, his stubble into the other’s cheek bone.
“i really don’t, i love you so much, oh my god”, hoseok cries out and he literally wraps himself around the taller, ankles locking behind namjoon’s back, his muscles tensing and he doesn’t let go for a long, long time.
eventually hoseok’s shaking and shivering finds an end, the thrill being stroked out by namjoon’s long fingers and whispers of comfort, low voice tired but warm and full. he’s able to withdraw, leaning back a bit he rubs his face over his own sleeve and then looks at namjoon with bleary eyes and the corners of his mouth still quirking downwards.
“i’m sorry for not bein’ honest with you, i just- didn’t know what to do”, he says, voice still heavy with tears and wavering ever so slightly but namjoon just smiles softly and his eyes twinkle so sweetly as his dimples press into his cheeks and hoseok really wants to kiss namjoon.
“it’s okay. but hey, hobi?”, he asks and suddenly looks very serious so hoseok is feeling the thrill of a nervous buzz trying to move every inch of his body.
“mh?”“grow old with me.”“are you fucking-”“-yes. please grow old with me, for real!”,namjoon nods and he sounds so certain, the curve of his smile is so warm and his eyes so tender and hoseok wants to cry again.
“yes. oh god, yes, please”, hoseok chokes out and this mixture of a laughter and a cry feels weird in his throat but the aftermath is those familiar bubbles rising in his chest, exploding in his throat and he wants to kiss namjoon so badly, he still can’t believe his luck, he still doesn’t trust his karma but here he is, the boy he loves and admires right in his arms and he wants to kiss namjoon but he doesn’t.
but when laughter bubble out of his vibrating, slender and energetic form namjoon leans forward and catches the giggles right from his lips so hoseok really doesn’t have to worry anyways.

Iron Man
Tumblr media
Cracking a beer and getting stuck into the first film of the series: Iron man. He's a man made of Iron apparently so I'm expecting a lot of rust related plot devices  #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Oh yeah! I can already tell this is going to be good because there's army cars and AC/DC playing. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Oh but look who it is, in a suit, with a glass of brown alcohol and wearing sunglasses, its RDJ. My man! Always appropriate for any situation. About to go into combat? No problem I'll just grab a bottle of jack and my cuff links. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Obviously he treats everyone else like shit too. Obviously. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Oops! Didn't see that coming. Can't go 30 seconds in a superhero movie without an explosion though and now a war's happening and I'm getting a Saving Private Ryan flashback. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
That’s not good. Better text the wife and tell her I won’t be back for dinner.  #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Oh Shit! It's terrorists, and they've got guns! #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Flashback on Tony's past. No wonder 'Big T' has an ego problem. Bet he pulls some ridiculous shit in vegas. Also I wonder how much that casino paid to get in this movie? #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Bloody knew it!
Tumblr media
Dude’s like: “why the fuck did he just hand me a big glass dildo?” 
Tumblr media
Just a quick argument with a supermodel journalist to set up a parallel with US foreign policy in the subtext. Yeah, I make loads of money selling weapons that kill people but look how cool and attractive I am. Lets fuck! #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan 
Tumblr media
Oh no! That’s your best comeback?... surely you’re not going to let that win you over Everlove? Surely?! 
Tumblr media
Well I guess we all have moments of weakness. 
Tumblr media
And literally all it took was a couple of gadgets for her to drop all her morals. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Poor Pepper, He's literally a nightmare to work for and now he's flirting inappropriately! Also he forgot her birthday and she didn't care... yeah right. #realwomen #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Of course his private jet is a strip club. Where is that pole coming from exactly? #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Why is the business owner doing the job of a salesman right now? Does he really need the commission? #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
All that technology, like genuine future stuff, and he has literally the shittest phone in the world. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Good thing that mad scientist guy happened to be captured by those guys too. Also didn't we just see that he was wearing a bullet proof jacket? How did shrapnel get anywhere near his heart? #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
PROOF!
Tumblr media
Oh no! The weapons got into the hands of the naughty men! isn't that what sexy journalist/supermodel woman was talking about? Maybe you should have been paying attention to her argument instead trying to sleep with her? #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
“But Tony... You promised!” :(
Tumblr media
They went all that time without exchanging names? Guy saves your life but nah, funny accent, not worth getting too close. Also NOW you want to small talk, right when he’s holding a pot of molten metal in a pair of forceps?! #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Oh yeah, just make a couple of rings, stick them together with some copper wire and there you go magic chest battery. Step one, make a ring. #Therestofthefuckingowl #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
And here we are having a bash at step two...
Tumblr media
Hey presto! That was easy.
Tumblr media
Well to be honest its about time that the wrongens noticed something wasn't quite right. Man had a massive glowing thing on his chest that looks like its from the future and nobody seemed bothered. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
For a man who we've established is intelligent Big T has no game. Yeah just leave the blueprints to the secret plan you're working on out on the table. Fortunately the baddies are totally negligent. I'm surprised they remembered to lock the door #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
We've already seen that they have CCTV of what Tony and his mate are up to but some how they aren't seeing him assemble a full suit of weaponized armor under their noses? Even after they've been caught with the blueprints?? #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Could they be any more blatant about what they’re up to?
Tumblr media
Also why build a suit that leaves the one vulnerable part, the battery that powers it and keeps his heart from being shredded, exposed. 10/10 for visual aesthetic -10000 for common sense. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Seems to hold up though, even when shot point blank in the head. Shame his assistant had to die. There could have been some serious competition for chief romantic interest with Pepper later. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Yeah, no shit. This guy had expendable character written all over him. 
Tumblr media
What is going on with his legs? Seriously, who has hips that wide?  #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Ahahaha! Silly baddies! Haven’t you realised that your guns are useless!?
Tumblr media
Oh no! He's gone down! Looks like the terrorists are going to win after all. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Oh... no they fucked it. 
Tumblr media
Good thing he can fly!
Tumblr media
Also good thing that that, way bigger explosion didn't have any nasty shrapnel in it this time. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
 Ah, phew! Good thing the military are here to save the day. Held off till now though obviously because PLOT #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
“Taxi!”
Tumblr media
Also yeah, I want an American cheeseburger and a... (hint at sex but surprise with) a press conference. Definitely don't want to go to the hospital, not even after spending days(?) in the desert following a firefight and crash in a metal suit from 100m #MCU #Marvel #IronMan
Tumblr media
Fast food and a quickie?
Tumblr media
Seriously had enough of his shit... 
Tumblr media
Of course Burger King got that contract. I'm a little bit surprised that Tony didn't ask for a mac book and a bottle of new mountain dew red alert, available in a convenience store near you...#MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Don't tell me he's grown a conscience! Big T! Think about what you're going to the military industrial complex! What about the economy!? All those people who came out to clap at you getting out of a Rolls Royce are jobless now! #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Hashtag UN-nesesary segway #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Okay Pep, just reach into the massive hole in my chest and grab that loose wire. Don't mind all the puss and blood. Oh you fucked it up, never mind, should have had a doctor do it. To be fair, could have done it himself but wouldn't want to miss this opportunity to flirt #MCU
Tumblr media
100% uses that sentient robot arm to wank #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Yep, just walk into a military base and start talking shit to the commander because you're Tony Stark #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
"working on a secret project are we Sir?" - You can trust me, I'm a web connected AI with the same voice as HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Speaking of wrong hands, who's this with a useless remnant of scrap metal. I think I know who the main antagonist is going to be! #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
“What did you just say about my sunglasses!?”
Tumblr media
That looks like pretty complex stuff T! Good thing you've got Wankatron to help you out. #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media
Oh shit... that's at least 3 months in hospital. Also wouldn't a man of science have worked out exactly how much thrust 10% capacity would generate before testing it on himself. Why not test it on a crash dummy first? #MCU #Marvel #tweetalong #IronMan
Tumblr media

Touche! Well said! You hit the nail on the head.
Preach it beee!! Amen and A. men!!
If your natural you know that those styles help reduce tangles i personally dont wear them no reason i havent masterd them as of yet and and doesnt take nothing nut humidity and a wash to get you back to its natural state. Hey check out this video by angel ikyg called black women natural hair its not a bashing video he gives good reasoning to go natural if u feel the same way after watching the video then keep getting relaxers by all means because its your hair have a good day
Dude I always felt the same way. You manipulating your hair to get your curls a certain way says a lot.
Seriously why be so negative? Some people don’t like curly hair or braids but prefer straight hair. Quite frankly some women don’t look good with either hair style. Yeah one can argue that a black woman can achieve straight hair with natural hair but do you know how much more damage will occur than by doing relaxers. If you actually read this woman’s blog you would see her hair is healthy and relaxed. So stop hair shaming and accept the fact that people can have different hair styles and still have healthy hair.
Monique Peterkin says:JANUARY 29, 2017 AT 4:44 PMREPLY
Exactly- this kind of thinking [shaming others hardcore because they have a different view period; be it hair, philosophy, belief, etc,] is and has been completely counterproductive, deleterious, and frankly, embarrassing. We are not a monolith*and there is no “real Black” mind or character. We really need to STOP IT. Where, oh where has it really gotten us as a people in the world? ##!% it.
Everything isn’t for everyone. I am relaxed and I’ve NEVER had anyone else’s hair in my head in my life. My hair is long (bra strap length) and healthy. I’ve never had a desire to go natural because I like the way my hair is when relaxed. My roller wraps and easy maintenance hair works for ME & my life & that my friend is how that works out. I will not apologize or be ashamed of MY choice for MY hair. I am team #CreamyCrack.
There are lots of things we do that aren’t ‘natural’. Do you wear make up? Thats not natural. When people wear braids the extensions they use aren’t natural. When people flat iron their natural hair thats not natural or when people wear weave and wigs over their natural hair- not natural either. Big Deal! People are so busy pointing the finger and telling other people what they should do or think that they don’t realise they are a bunch of hypocrites.
I disagree and can I give you an analogy and you may never agree but this is mine. People over time have used inventions to make their life easier doesn’t mean they don’t embrace their culture our heritage but they are doing things to.save time and effort. Ex. Pencil to typewriter to computer Records to cd to downloads For some not all healthy relaxed hair makes our lives more manageable and easier. I love natural hair but please respect me too and recognize that for me and my course hair it’s much easier.
Where “someone’s” hair means?? Oh pls… Its about time judging stopped!! Its the same hair ok? Jux that others prefer to relax it. And yes… Natural isnt for everyone means… Not everyone wants to keep their hair kinky or natural… Its jux hair ok!? Anyone has the right to do whatever!
Sometimes natural hair does not fit your personality or lifestyle. Its similar to how some people do not prefer their own hair color and choose to dye it.
I agree with you 100%. I think if it grows out your head it obviously is for you. lol Im natural and I don’t judge whether you make a decision to relax or not relax, i really don’t care what you do to your head. But what we’re not gonna do in these comments is say that natural “poofy” hair is “unprofessional”. That is the real issue. What is professional? Straight flat hair? I don’t like that stigma at all. And also side note, natural hair products typically are organic or healthy for your scalp most of the time. Relaxer literally burns your scalp and has your hair fall out if it’s in too long lol it can’t be that safe when used in the long term. But i’m not the one who is making the decision so who cares about my opinion anyway lol

Hey Lauren,
I have been a home relaxer for years! Do you have any suggestions for beach hair or what to do to protect your hair at the pool? It’s vacation season so wanted a little product help!
Thanks Montia
Lauren says:JUNE 14, 2016 AT 9:35 AMREPLY
Hey!
I’ve heard that some women coat their hair with oil of deep conditioner before getting into the water – something about your hair soaking up the moisturizing product and not having enough room to soak up chlorinated water. Just be careful – wouldn’t want to have an obvious slick of oil behind you as you dunk in the water! If I know I’ll be in water a lot (i.e. vacation), I’ll put it into a protective style like Marley Twists or Box Braids. Hope that helps!

I’m so glad I read your post, I have been natural for 5’years now, I have seen some growth but not the amazing results that I expected. I also think my hair seemed much healthier when I had a relaxer, thank you for helping me realize that natural does not always mean better and since everyone’s hair is different you should do what works for you.

Wow. I came across this post and your first paragraph alone had me! I am sick and tired of everyone portraying relaxed hair as the culprit of all hair problems. There is a way to have healthy relaxed hair and I dislike when I am made to feel guilty about my decision to keep my hair relaxed (I’m not “ashamed” of my natural hair, I just prefer it straight). Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting such a rare opposition in a world filled with individuals shunning relaxed hair!
Mesha says:APRIL 27, 2016 AT 11:54 AMREPLY
Wow! Im going through this now. Havent relaxed my hair in almost a year and its coming out, dry and hard to manage. I honestly dont see what all the hype is about natural hair. I guess its personal choice and the type of hair you have. Some people make natural seem easy but then their hair grade is “naturally” nice! My hair is coarse, dry, thick yet brittle and I hate that. Call it what you want, im Europeanized whatever im not with that and love healthy looking moisturized hair, im getting a perm asap!!!

I also tried to go the natural route… this is my second year now, but my hair was honestly healthiest when I used to relax it. Now my natural hair just sheds so much and is super dit. regardless of what I do to it. My mind is made as I take off my braids in relaxing it. And shall be proudly rocking it.

So how did it go? Reading these comments, I think I have made up my mind. After almost 10 yrs of being natural, I hate it. It takes me up to 3 hrs to straighten it and it still looks a hot mess and all I can do is pull it back. I was looking at my pictures from college and I loved the relaxed look. So much easier in my opinion and my hands and arms don’t feel like they are going to fall off. Any pointers? I’ll prob just go back to the olive oil relaxer.

Natural isn’t for everyone! My hair broke in the center and both sides while shedding everywhere else. So I cut it down to where it broke, half of my shoulder length hair, to start all over again. I did one Aphogee treatment, then a week later, hit it with ORS relaxer, problem solved! A year and a few months later, my hair is back down on my shoulders. I’ll never go natural ever again! Moisturizing shampoos & conditioners are a must!

Hi! In 2010 my hair fell out, and I spent the next year-and-a-half in weaves. 18 months later I’m natural and my hair is at my shoulders. It was pretty when straight, but would not stay. It would not hold a style. So I get a relaxer, and my hair starts shedding badly. (The bad reactions were caused my coconut oil as it made my hair dry and brittle, but I just found that out a few months ago) then I get psoriasis from an autoimmune condition so bad my scalp bleeds. So for another two years I stop relaxers. My hair kept shedding and getting dryer( too much protien) finally I went back to relaxers but only to loosen the curl. Now my styles stay. I’m still shedding from a chronic illness and the protien, but my hair is bra band length. Yesterday I went to a new salon, doctors orders, and the stylist said my “natural hair” is so healthy! And that I should let it all go natural. Well, none of it is natural! My ends are just straight because of a bad beautician. I relax my hair every four or so months to loosen the tightness and I love this method. Even the white girls raved after the beautician finished styling it. My hair when straight looks exactly like brand new weave, and I missed that when natural. I mean I could get it just as silky but it wouldn’t stay.. So texlaxsing is my ne strategy.

I’ve been natural off and on for over 10 years. This weekend I just texlaxed my hair because I wanted versatility. I wanted to be able to straighten my hair without all the excessive heat used when pressing natural hair but I also wanted to have a little texture left so I can still do my wash n’ go’s. It’s sad that we have to justify how we choose to wear our hair.

Thanks for this. I’ve never felt threatened with the thought of going natural. I’m texlaxed and have been my whole life. I can honestly say that although i enjoy the look of natural hair, I don’t have time for the maintenance. My relaxer has done me well and I’ll keep that chemical in my head for as long as I can.

Omg , I’m so upset that I just found this post . But I’m extremely happy at the same time ! This post and all the comments made me realize that it’s okay to keep my relaxed hair and not feel bad about it because everybody’s on this natural kick! I had THICK just above my shoulder length hair all my life(I’m 25 now). In August , I noticed my hair just wouldn’t get bone straight anymore when I relaxed it , went through 3 different perms and it just wouldn’t get straight. And because I have such thick and hard to manage hair, it would look like I still needed a perm. So I let my sister in law talk me into going natural(SMH!). The first two times she washed and flat ironed my hair(two weeks apart) , it looked nice . Then it kind of went down hill from there . My hair became SUPER thick , the thickest I had ever seen it before , I could not comb through it , it wouldn’t lay down , it was super dry no matter what I would put on it , etc . Then I noticed that when she would flat iron it , it started looking thinner and thinner.
Towards the ending of November I noticed the back of hair completely broke off ! My mom and I were so upset with what was going on with my hair so by the end of December , I decided to go back to my perms. I permed my hair for the first time since August on January 4th(last Thursday) and while I was in the shower A LOT of my hair was coming out in clumps. Not big clumps , but still they were noticeable clumps. After my protein treatment and deep conditioner , I blow dried my hair and saw that my hair had broken off in the middle of my head as well , not as bad as the back though. Also , when I was “natural” , when I would TRY to comb it , a lot of hair would be let left in the comb.
I’m very inclined to believe that all that heat that was being put on my hair caused a lot of damage, as well as it being soo dry. So I have to admit while I was natural that is when I noticed my hair started to fall out.
What do you think I should do to get it back healthy and growing again ? I’ve always had thick and dry hair and I’ve always done deep conditioners every week to retain the moisture , so I know that’s a given. But what else? Please help me , I’m miss my hair so much!

I love this post so much! One of my coworkers was formally relaxed and is now natural and for her it was the best thing ever. For me on the other hand, I know I will relax until I can no longer relax my hair. I’ve had it done since I was at least 8 years old, I’m 27 and I love how my hair looks after.
I took over the reins when I was 12 and can now apply it in less than 7 minutes. I may have timed it a few times… Haha! It’s so much easier to manage as well. I can tell when it’s almost time because I notice it’s harder to comb thru or brush in general and to wash. Once it’s been relaxed, I’m golden!
I spend less time fussing over my hair with it relaxed than if I were to go natural. I’m half black so I think my natural hair texture would be a 3c/4b combination? Afterwards it relaxes to a 2b wavy/surly texture if that. I have flat iron and a blow dryer although I can’t work the blowdryer to save my life and the Flatiron may used once or twice a month to check on my length or do a trim.
I’m determined to prove that just because my hair is relaxed, does not mean I can’t have long and healthy hair. I’m on my way to hip length right now, it was at chin length about 2 years ago and now it’s down to just past my bra strap.
When I tell people that my hair is actually relaxed their jaws drop, a reaction I will never get tired of! What I do to lessen the damage of the relaxer that inevitably gets on the length is I’ll coat that portion of my hair with coconut oil. It seems to provide a bit of a barrier between my hair and relaxer so it doesn’t damage the previously relaxed hair as much. Also with my last relaxer, I did a henna treatment that next day. My roots felt like normal.
You know after a relaxer your roots fill a bit of dry even a little straw like? After doing the henna it felt perfectly fine! I’ve noticed that weird texture seems to go away within a week or so and the henna treatment seem to speed up that process so I think I’ll do henna after I do my relaxer as well.

Thank you so much, I am a year and a half out with natural hair and I hate it. I agree it takes to long to get it how I like it and I feel it was much healthier, when I permed it. It grew much faster. I will be switching back after the first of the year. Thank you again for all the tutorials.
