Some fresh moonfam angst

So this just hit me, guys, and I need to share the pain, please brace for the Sads.

Runaan’s squad. Four adult assassins, and a 15 year old assassin-in-training. Why did Runaan bring Rayla? Why did he bring these elves?

I just had a really angsty headcanon, and it just keeps giving.

It started with Feathershawl’s crystal. They’re a ghosted Moonshadow from the Tales of Xadia playtest tale, and they carry a crystal that holds the illusions of dozens of family members they’ve been cut off from. Dozens.

That’s a big family!

It fits with the idea that Lain, Tiadrin, Runaan, and Ethari were all basically a big family unit, but it’s much bigger even than that! And it makes sense that Moonshadows would have as many life-affirming connections as they can get, to try to balance the stresses of their culture as well as their inherent introversion: it might be stressful to go shopping, but if you’re just visiting your cousin Merry, then that’s okay, right, you know her.

So what if the moonfam as we know them is just a fraction of their true extended family, and they also have dozens of extended/adopted/found family members that they love and cherish deep in their hearts? Seems likely that plenty of them would be assassins, since Laindrin and Runaan are assassins.

That sounds like a nice thing, right? A positive thing in all of their lives. They are all each others’ safety net and comfort, as family is supposed to be.

Until.

Gosh, it must’ve been hard for Laindrin to leave for the Storm Spire, so very hard. But knowing they were bringing honor to the Moonshadows, and to their family, probably made it a little easier to take. Plus, they were probably safer there than on missions. Until they weren’t.

Family honor seems to be a thing in Moonshadow society. In the book one novelization, Runaan makes a cutting comment about Rayla’s lineage when he’s trying to drive her away from the castle. But that really means that when Laindrin “failed”, their dishonor belonged to everyone in their extended family. Everyone who trusted them had their honor, their judgment, fall into question.

And Moonshadows don’t like questions. They like answers. They always act quickly when something goes wrong, trying to put it right swiftly.

So: Laindrin fails. Runaan’s family honor is tainted. He has to do something. But he’s not the only one who’s been besmirched. And neither is Rayla.

Here’s where the angst starts to ramp up: everyone in Laindrin’s whole family was tainted by their supposed failure. Everyone. Potentially dozens of elves.

What’s a Moonshadow assassin leader to do when all the assassins in his family have their honor questioned, and there’s one single mission they can undertake to redress the balance?

He takes them with him. Runaan takes his family with him to Katolis.

I know I’ve speculated half a dozen reasons why Runaan felt he had to take Rayla with him, and they generally boil down to restoring his and Rayla’s honor for being associated with Laindrin. But in this headcanon, everyone else on the squad is in the same boat!

And see, *slaps roof of headcanon* this baby can fit so much other angsty headcanons in it! I have a headcanon that Andromeda is Runaan’s half-sister, Lujanne’s daughter by another of her husbands, because she has traits in common with both of them. That slides seamlessly into this headcanon.

It also fits as a reason for Runaan’s softness when he squeezes Callisto’s arm reassuringly while he’s binding him to their mission.

Callisto is the elf Runaan is closest with. His tent is next to Runaan’s, and he’s the elf Runaan (briefly) discusses strategy with in the tree when they regroup after learning of Rayla’s deception.

So Skor and Ram must also have family ties to Runaan as well. This is so exciting!

Okay so far? Runaan’s squad, his homies, are family, in all the ways that “family” holds meaning for him. He got his best fams together to go Make Things Right for their honor in Katolis. In this context, Rayla’s accompaniment on the mission makes a whole lot more sense. Her family connection to Laindrin is one of the most direct, if not the most direct, out of everyone in the squad. If this is the kind of thing that Moonshadows do when family honor is questioned, then it makes sense that Rayla demanded to go, and that Runaan said yes. It wasn’t just her he was taking.

In fact, I wonder if Runaan had so many requests that he had to make a list and choose his team from a whole bunch of family who demanded the right to go on the mission. Maybe they started asking the minute that Laindrin’s ghosting ritual was over. Maybe they felt they had to.

So Runaan took his best and brightest family members to Katolis. And then they failed, and he had to watch them all die beside him. It was his mission to run, and it got away from him, and four of his family died right in front of him.

No wonder he desperately wanted Rayla off the mission. If he knew from the moment he laid eyes on Marcos that several members of his own family were gonna die that night, he’d do whatever it took--and he did--to convince Rayla to leave the mission and survive. He was trying to mitigate the disaster that was about to slam into his family tree.

Okay, so this is angsty. But... Can I make it angstier?

Yes, yes I can. Hold tight.

See, because this was a family of hurt, grieving, angry assassins, seeking to prove that they were still honorable elves, that they could still do the job, could still serve their people, could still stand strong beneath the heavy dangerous duty they carried. They went to prove that they could carry this together, that they were good and upright elves in the eyes of their society, that they knew the rules and that they would follow them no matter what, as was expected of them. They went to Katolis to prove that they had not forgotten how to serve properly.

And then, not only did they fall in battle and fail in their mission, but a dark mage resurrected their helpless forms and sent them on new missions in an absolute travesty of what a Moonshadow assassin’s purpose is supposed to be. Dark magic keeps appearing as an imperfect copy of primal magic--which I love, btw--and the missions that Viren handed out are no different. His smoky assassins took lives with their assassin skills, yes. That was Viren’s whole point in using assassin cremains in his spell. But the elf spirits were not honor bound, they weren’t serving their people--quite the opposite, they were serving a dark mage--and they didn’t volunteer, they were pressed into service without consent.

The best and brightest of Runaan’s assassin family fell into the hands of a mage who turned their purpose inside out and manipulated their skills to serve his will instead of their people’s. They didn’t even get to die properly--part of them got yoinked back into the world of the living to carry out Viren’s will.

I cannot imagine how that knowledge will make Runaan, Rayla, their surviving family, and the other Moonshadow elves feel. I’m kinda glad that Rayla tackled him off the Storm Spire without knowing what he’d done to the other assassins. Her self-sacrifice was pure there, saving Zym’s life by trading it for her own, with no extra anger or vengeance in her heart.

But if anyone ever learns about what happened to the other assassins, well. *holds out cup for more angst*

Hi TTji, here I am with more TV digest. SP: MHRW - Amma replaced by new actor with HECK LOT foundation to 'darken' her and Raghav is TPDBD. Same plot (luck again FL, ML taking badla, FL turns innocent, ML being savior) in a loop. YRKKH - Sensible for time being. Sirat's ex is in picture. Kartik & Sirat have healthy convos. Obv Rhea is dying to break the marriage and grab most wanted Munda for herself. SNS - Most sensible leads as of yet? The show still remembers she wants education??? [1/4]

Aksjdlsakjdlskajdlskajldkjslj TPDBD has truly entered myyyyy daily vocabulary as well. It’s such an amazingggggg acronymmmm. Fitteh muh on these fucking ppl who can’t just hire one actual dark skinned actress. I hate this show without even watching it because of everything it stands for. It offends me on a personal level. 🤬🤬🤬

Ofc YRKKH mein abhi bhi shaadi ka silsila jaari hi hai. Ouff, India ke wedding industry ko iss ek hi couple ne kaayam rakha hua hai. 🤑🤑🤑

SNS ke baare mein I never cared, and I never will. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

YHC - Not Chaahat, only mystery and horror like Aahat. FL attempting to expose villains but ML blind cuz it's his true mum and step bro. Anu - Overdramatically yet sensibly depicting divorce and it's ripple effects on fam (kisses for healthy maa-beta & saas-bahu jodi). SM - Preeti is replaced by Nupur from MJHT. KT pretends to be good friend Keertan and shitty rich dude KT to Nu-*cough* Mohi/Preeti. Idk abt the kids. Imlie - Malini reacts normally seeing Imlie wear her sindoor. Finally [2/4]

NO CHAAHAT, ONLY AAHAT 🤣🤣🤣

Anupama, SM, aur Imlie reiterating the life lesson ki pyaari beheno, zindagi mein kuch bhi karo, parrr shaadi mat karo, saaaaalon tak siyaapa hi siyaapa hai. Just be single, have awesome friends and pets, aur mazze ke life jiyo.

SAAKK - FL thinks ML in love with ex. ML clears the air, tells *cough* yells I LOVE YOU DAMNIT *oh wait that was another show* but same and FL is like WOAH. PANDYA - No one realises the DISASTER getting FL forcibly married to her beloved's brother (who marries his own lover) cuz now she gotta live in the same house with her beloved but as his bhabhi? ANNS - The blind ML has been the most aware ML in ITV history. Understands to-be-wife being slighted and flips shit! Next is Zee, Sony & Colors

SAAKK ki incredibly cute FL is stuck in such a michmichi-inducing (for me) show ke mera dillllllllllllll dukhta hai. Koi isko aur GHKPM ke Sai ko bas foreign bhej do where they can do padhaai and become their best selves without being distracted by boy troubles. Sahi kehte hain desi maa-baap, padhai ke waqt ladkon ke chakkaron mein nahi padna chahiye, warna poori zindagi kharaab ho jaati hai. Abhi dekh bhi liya.

Pandya mein seeing Sonakshi from KHKT ki bitchy choti behen be one abla bechaari, and Nazar show waali achchi behen being a hellraising chantomayi is giving me whiplash. Beech mein bechaare bhaiyya-bhaabi jabaran phasein, who kinda deserve it coz honestly wtf were they thinking forcing this bloody shaadi no one wanted. 🙄🙄🙄

ANNS ka hero is wholesome bean but ouff the FL’s family (???? is it even her family? Or her sister’s sasuraal or some shit in which case, phew.) Anyway kaafi off-brand Gauri Kumari Sharma vibes mil rahe mujhe FL se toh I can’t somehow get into it yet. 😐😐😐

ZEE. Kumkum - Pragya asking fam members to help her (Abhi in jail) Rhea (the twin who hates Pragya) agrees. Kundali - Preeta has her hair perfect in jail while ML tries to fix shit. Jindri - Locking wife in room is the new way of showing love. Katti Batti - shit show from promo so no info (total biwi#1 when she should be dumping his dumb ass). Rest IDK, the plots above my head. SONY. 7 1/2 - The show has bad prod quality for some reason. Not watching. (need more space for next so see you in #5)

Yeh poora ka poora ZEE channel hi nahi chahiye mereko. Nothing on it has appealed to me since Qubool Hai and I highly doubt anything ever will. Bleargh. 🤢🤢🤢

Yeh 7 1/2 kaunsa show hai Sony pe??????? 🤔🤔🤔

KUDCA - FL runs away from marrying Veer. He hires fake bride (turns out it is FL who was briefly reunited with her bff who is now kothewaali). COLORS. Namak - Always abusive ML (can't act) now in love with FL (can act) and his family is shitty, as usual. Pinjra - Makers pulled a Main Na Bhoolungi. SSK - archaic shit is back. Shakti - ML post plastic surgery trying to convince FL that he is ML. Fans hate new actor btw. BB - Kid topped, so going to hostel? Bawara Dil - TOXIC SHIT!!! Love, Baby J

KUDCA ka main kya hi boloon, whole thing sounds like a clusterfuck.

Namak is such a weird mindfuck of a show, beech mein kuch kaala jaadoo type bhi hain. ML nafrat se pyaar tak pohunch gaya lekin majaal ho jo uske chehre pe shikan tak aaye. Someone explain to me why that Nazar waali daayan ki character is the mom to two of the ladies (who are easily in their 30s, yet mummy looks younger......... Must be all the kaala jaadoo), but everyone calls her didi, including her daughters??? Also why do these two families live together???? Why does this show exist in general??????////

Pinjra waali shaayad na bhoolegi but I sure forgot this show exists. Thank god for my brain just filtering out the info it doesn’t want and being like sorry 404, page not found. Saves me a lot of rage.

SSK mein I just need to know what new species Simar (or choti Simar, or whoever) is gonna metamorphize into. May I suggest a cow, since that’s the only animal that gets any respect and protection in this country these days.

The way I gaspeddddddddddddddd when I saw OG Anurag Basu backkkkkkkkkk??????// Bhai is on what virgin-blood-drinking regimen ki he still looks exact same???? Sir pls to share sekrits.

Bawara Dil - First I’m ever hearing of this show, and thus, I really dgaf.

Batfam OC Headcanons

These headcanons are all about my superfamily, who I've dubbed the Shadefam. I have post dedicated to their basic info, here. I'm posting this for fun and to invite others to make their own super family or OC family with far too many headcanon and random chapters for a book that'll never be written.

BTW when I say S1, S2, or S3 I'm referring to the certain seasons in Young Justice

Buck- trans ftm taken in by Faith at age 12 because his father isn’t able to properly take care of him. (His dad loves and accepts him, but is very broke and wants what’s best for his son)

Hope is taken in by her sister at age 8 in 2013 when their mother died

Buck dates Bart for a period of time before they mutually agree to break up, both lowkey being attached to other teammates at the time (Jaime and Tim)

Faith is bi and doing fine

Grace is lesbian and freaking disaster

Hope is ace and valid

Buck is trans/gay and perfect

Cody is ace/aro and chillin with his homies

Faith and Grace had a fling for a few months but broke up mutually

Grace has a butch lesbian girlfriend named Joana

They always go to pride and their hero atls hang different pride flags the night before July 1st around the city

Hope lowkey grew up without really registering gender and doesn’t say hello to new people, but asks for their preferred pronouns

Bart’s the closest person to Buck in the Outsiders, being the only person that knows about his true powers as well as the few that knows his birth name

Goes to Bart or Garfield when he has a nightmare at the headquarters

Bruce payed for Buck’s top surgery after S2

Keith is the only straight person in the Shadows

Lily is pan and loves her frogs

Lily really likes frogs and has a small tank for them in her apartment

Hope has one frog gifted to her from her favorite aunt

Cody is the only person allowed to cook in the Manor

Cuddle piles when the enter family is together at their secret hideout

Cody is the only one that owns an actual house and they use the basement as their “hideout”

Lots of “Are the Straights Okay?” moments when the group is people watching during stakeouts

Grace being a flirt to everyone

Hope knowing every curse word at age 9 because her sister can’t shut up

Lots of scolding because of profanity

Faith smacking people upside the head

Cody is Buck’s go to when he’s feeling dysphoria when he’s with the fam

Family nights every friday cause none of them got the most normal lives (Faith lost her parents young as did Cody, Grace wasn’t accepted by her family and lost her parents before even turning 20, Hope only had her parents for 8 years, Lily never had a father and her mother is a thief, Buck lost his mother young and left his father before age 13, and Keith lived mostly alone with a constantly working father. Plus they’re all heroes so I mean none of them are remotely normal)

Cody entered the Shadefam after S3 and doesn’t know that he was previously working with Jason for a period of time

Very confused brother reunion when Cody and Jason meet again

The pair of them both worked for Ra’s a Ghul at the same time in the S3

Lily gives Buck a frog plush that he holds after nightmares at the headquarters

Faith does daily calls to her children

Faith was raised by Bruce, how could she not take in a small child that looks like a mini her

Faith being a mom to everyone, even her brother at times

Faith: “Cody… why are you not wearing any socks?”

Cody: “Why would I be wearing socks?”

Faith: “Because the floor is freezing! Now go put on some damn socks so you don’t get a cold!”

Cody: “But-”

Faith: “Do not try me Cody North Miers.”

Cody: “Damn… the middle name.”

Cody trying to keep Lily and Grace from getting killed on the field

Faith trying to keep Lily and Grace from getting killed off the field

Faith moves in with Keith after her amputation because he has a first floor apartment and she can’t do stairs yet

Keith finds out about MJ and Faith finds out about Hunter after he sneaks back in from a patrol before the accident

Grace and Lily are chaotic a hell, pushing themselves as far as they can during training and mission

They are the two that get hurt the most often

Though Faith always has the worst injuries cause she’s a mama bear that will leap in front of her children

Cody will get pretty severe ones as well when he jumps in front of Faith

Cody: “Why the fuck do you keep jumping in front of them?!”

Faith: “I am mama bear bitch!”

Cody: “Well stop being mama bear cause you’re going to get yourself killed one day.”

Faith: “I can’t die bitch!”

Cody and Faith being responsible adults and the most mature of the group, to being bickering siblings at each other's throats

It always ends up shocking the rest of the fam as well as the Team and the Batfam

Cody: “Can you grab me a pop?”

Faith: “The hell is a pop?”

Cody: “You know a Coke or Sprite.”

Faith: “You mean a soda?”

Cody: “Yeah a pop.”

Faith: “It’s soda!”

Cody: “Pop!”

Faith: “SODA!”

Cody: “POP!”

Halo: “Are they fighting over what to call a drink?”

Buck: “Yeah…”

The Shadefam is sort of a faction of the Batfam

Buck ships Bartuardo and got Hope to agree with him after she jumped ship from Bluepulse

Bruce is lowkey protective of Buck (he loves his grandson)

Buck is Alfred’s favorite of the Shadefam children

Cody and Faith are his favorites of the adults

Faith insists they eat dinner at the table together before leaving early to go invent

Grace and Faith have coffee addictions

Hope is not allowed near caffeine, neither is Buck

Lily shows up at Grace’s and Faith’s separate apartments randomly

Faith was the shoulder Lily cried in after Jason death

Bruce accidentally introduced Buck as his grandson to a board of people when he stopped by Wayne Enterprise

Bruce: “This is Buck, my grandson. He’ll be sitting in today because his mother is busy.”

The news outlets had a field day trying to figure out which Wayne kid was his parents and the person that they knocked up or got knocked up by. Many settled on Faith getting knocked up by some random guy before realizing the math didn’t work.

One outlet found out that Buck was born female and called him a “she” in their coverage of it.

Bruce lost it.

Bruce: “I read your coverage of my grandson. I would like to kindly ask you to pull that story.”

Reporter: “But Wayne sir.”

Bruce: “You misgendered my grandson. So either print an apology or I will be suing.”

Bruce does not stand for misgendering

Keith and Faith child’s godmothers are Grace and Joana

Hope and Buck are practically their child’s older siblings

Lily is the child’s favorite auntie

Keith leaves after their child’s birth

Keith: “Someone needs to be here in case something happens to you.”

Faith: “Nothing’s going to happen to me, Love.”

Keith: “Can you guarantee that?”

Faith: “...”

Keith: “That’s what I thought.”

Faith: “I’m not leaving.”

Keith: “I know. And I don’t blame you. You were built for the hero’s life. I wasn’t.”

Faith: “I swear I’ll be careful. For you and for them.”

Both Hope and Buck move to the Outsiders and later Buck leads the Team, leaving the Shadows.

Faith: “The Team? Buck that’s great!”

Buck: “I thought you’d be a bit more… I don’t know feeling the mode about this.”

Faith: “Why? Cause my little hodgepodge of a team is losing a member?”

Buck: “Well yeah.”

Faith: “Buck. The Shadows were just a covert team for the East. Plus it’s not like I’m really losing you. You are my son after all.”

Buck: “I know. And I’ll never forget that… Mom.”

Lily moved in with Jason and the two of them focused more on Gotham, Lily becoming a true Bat.

Lily: “So I guess I’m a Bat now.”

Faith: “Yup.”

Lily: “No longer a Shade.”

Faith: “The Shades were created by a Bat and consisted of like four current Bat members. The Shades are like a stepping stone.”

Lily: “I guess. I’m still gonna miss family nights.”

Faith: “The Shadows might be decreasing in numbers, but that doesn’t mean we’re ending Shade family nights. Bring along Jason, I’m sure he’ll have a ton of fun.”

Lily: “Yeah surrounded by youngins! He’ll be ecstatic!”

Faith: “Well he does need to prepare.”

Lily: “How the fuck did you know!”

Faith: “Wait, what!”

And that’s how Faith learned Lily was pregnant

Grace leaves the hero world once she and Joana get married and she becomes a criminal prosecutor, sealing the fate of the Shadows

Faith: “So you’re giving it up then?”

Grace: “The hero's life is great and every Faith, but.”

Faith: “I know. It’s a lot.”

Grace: “I mean I never wanted to be a hero, I just wanted to put the bad guys away. That’s what I’m doing now. Plus Joana always frets over me after a mission, even if nothing bad happened.”

Faith: “That’s pretty reasonable. Keith tends to exaggerate the smallest cuts.”

Grace: “So you’re not upset that you’re losing another member?”

Faith: “The Shadows were just a covert team for smaller crimes. I always have my back up with the League.”

Grace: “So the Shadows are done now?”

Faith: “For the time being.”

Cody never left the team, but with only two members it became more of a partnership. They continued to work together, with them assisting the League, Team, and Bats whenever they were needed

Even after the team breaks up, they all gather up once a month and hang out for board games, movies, or a patrol around the city for old times sake.

The older members (Faith, Grace, and Keith) do a lot of reminiscing while the “kids” (Buck, Lily, and Hope) just goan and roll their eyes as Cody listens to the tales of his sister and her friends

Lily and Jason never planned on having any biological children, but they did plan on taking in a street kid. They ended up with one biological child and one street kid

Cody becomes the next Bruce Wayne, training and taking in kids that need a good home

Grace and Joana have three kids, two of which have Grace’s abilities

The entire Shade family is always invited to Bat family reunions. Damian was very confused by the massive amount of people that showed up after Bruce told him he only had a “few” siblings.

Damian: “Eight is not a few Father.”

Bruce: “You have seven siblings Damian. Buck is your nephew.”

Damian: “He’s nearly 16 years older than me.”

Bruce: “Yes but he’s Faith’s son.”

Damian: “Reigns is only seven years younger than Miers.”

Bruce: “He still calls her mom correct?”

Damian: “Yes.”

Bruce: “And he calls me Grandpa?”

Damian: “Yes.”

Bruce: “Then he is your nephew.”

Damian: “But Kyle also calls her mom.”

Bruce: “Your sister does it as a joke to annoy your oldest sister.”

Damian: “Kyle is the only blood sibling I have here. Why must I consider the rest of these people siblings?”

Bruce: “Because they are.”

Damian: “Well… seven is still not a small amount of people.”

Bruce: “With the amount of people here, seven is a few.”

Cody is a light sleeper, waking at the slightest sounds

Grace sleeps like the dead, freezing water and banging pots are the only thing that wake her

Keith can sleep through stuff if he’s in a deep sleep, but also wakes to small shifts in the bed when Faith has a nightmare

Faith is another light sleeper, though not as light as her brother

Lily can and will sleep through anything that doesn’t sound threatening, aka wakes only to gunshots and the scrapping of a blade in its sheath

Buck is a deep sleeper, though often wakes to nightmares

Hope sleeps a lot like her sister, though she’s easier to wake up

When Cody wakes up, he’s up. If he’s woken up, a perimeter check is needed before he goes to sleep. If he wakes up on his own, he still does a perimeter check before going about his day

Grace doesn’t fully wake up until she’s had her eggs and instant caramel coffee

Keith rises with the sun full of energy after seeing Faith sleeping beside him

Faith wakes up tired and a little sluggish, needing black coffee to really wake up in the morning

Lily lives in a permanent state of sluggishness during daylight hours, she draws her power through the moon

Buck is always a bit tired, with usual bursts of random energy

Hope wakes with the sun cause she herself is a ray of sun

Faith & Keith child

Valarie (biological)

Cody’s children

Westly (adopted)

Conner (adopted)

Grace & Joana’ children

Derek (Grace’s biological)

Sophie (Grace’s biological)

Adrian (adopted)

Jason & Lily’s children

Charlie (street kid)

Jaden (biological)

Faith, Hope, and Grace are called the holy trinity as a joke

How Lily and Jason act

PDA constantly, it’s not huge things but it’s very clear that they are together

Nightmare comfort

Got together after Jason came back from the dead, working together as Red Hood and Scarlet Falcon

Were rivals of sorts before his death when Lily was still Misfortune. They fought a lot as Robin and Misfortune, though Faith refuses to let Jason take her in

Lily runs cold so she often wears Jason’s jacket

Faith gave both Lily and Jason the “if you hurt my sibling” lecture. Jason was terrified by it, while Lily shrugged it off

Faith: “You hurt my baby brother, I will hurt you tenfold. I will get a crowbar.”

Lily: “Reasonable.”

Faith: “If you hurt my baby sister, I will hurt you tenfold. I will get a crowbar.”

Jason: “Okay ma’am.”

Buck isn’t a meta but cursed

Hope gets killed in 2023 during the first mission that the team gets together after 2020

Shadefam split by 2020, with Keith, Hope, & Buck leaving in 2018, Grace leaving in 2019, and Lily leaving in 2020 with Faith moving from High Hills in 2019

Keith and Faith move after S3 in 2019 to Star City to man the Wayne Enterprise in the West and raise Valerie in a less crime-ridden area

Cody takes over protecting High Hills, taking on two wards

Grace and Joana move to a smaller town outside of New York so Grace couldn’t be dragged back into the Life

Lily lives with Jason in Gotham

Cody was almost taken by the Court of Owls to become a Talon (their mother’s death was a result of the Court) saved by the League of Shadows instead

When People Call Faith “Mom”

Cody, Grace, Dick, and Jason call her Mom as a joke or when she’s being to much of a mama bear

Grace: “Alright. Alright Mom. We’ll stop.”

Faith: “Don’t call me Mom Grace.”

Dick: “Alright… Mama Bear.”

Faith: “I will kill you Dick.”

Jason: “Oh don’t kill him Mum, he’s a good big brother.”

Faith: “-Jay.”

Cody: “Relax Mother. They’re just playing with you.”

Faith: “CODY!”

Lily does it as a joke most of the time, though often accidentally does it

Lily: “Jeez let up Faith I’m fine.”

Faith: “Fine? Lily, you nearly bled out an hour ago.”

Lily: “Yeah an hour a ago.”

Faith: “Sit the fuck back down you asshole.”

Lily: “Okay.”

Faith: “What were you thinking Lily? You could have been killed. You could have gotten Buck killed.”

Lily: “You quoting Lion King now?”

Faith: “Lily.”

Lily: “Sorry.”

Faith: “What were you planning, Lily? What if we couldn’t have gotten to you in time? What if Buck was in your place? What if we lost you?”

Lily: “I’m- I’m sorry Mom.”

Faith: “I know you- Did you just call me Mom?”

Lily: “Aaaa- no?”

Hope never means to call Faith Mom, but it does just kind of happen

Faith: “Time to get up, Hope. You got school in thirty minutes.”

Hope: “Mmmm.”

Faith: “Come on Hope.”

Hope: “I don’t wanna go Mom.”

Faith: “It’s only for seven hours, Hope.”

Hope: “Mmm. Fine.”

Faith: “Good. Be ready in ten please.”

Hope: “Alright M- Faith. I meant Faith… not Mom.”

Buck calls her Mom the most (besides her own daughter)

Faith: “Have fun sweety.”

Buck: “I will Mom.”

Faith: “You know I’m not old enough to be your mother.”

Buck: “I know Mom. And you know I don’t care.”

faith: “And neither do I in all honesty.”

Tim accidentally called her mom once, which her reflect response was “I’m too young to be your mother”

Faith: “Tim? What are you still doing up?”

Tim: “Working.”

Faith: “For how long?”

Tim: “... I’m on hour… 56?”

Faith: “Go to bed Tim.”

Tim: “But I just need 10 more hours to finish.”

Faith: “Nope. You’re going to bed.”

Tim: “Hey! Put me down!”

Faith: “No. Tim you are a growing boy who needs to sleep.”

Tim: “But I have to-”

Faith: “Sleep! You have to sleep.”

Tim: “Put me down Faith.”

Faith: “Alright.”

Tim: “No I’m not going to bed.”

Faith: “Yes. Yes, you are.”

Tim: “I don’t need you to tuck me in Faith. I’m a grown man.”

Faith: “You’re a seventeen-year-old boy, not a grown man. Now go to bed.”

Tim: “Mmm. Fine. Good night Mom.”

Faith: “I’m too young to be your mother.”

Tim: “...”

Faith: “Good night Timmy.”

Damian also did it by accident once (Jason never let him live it down)

Faith: “I’m fine guys. Just a bit banged up.”

Jason: “Just a bit?”

Dick: “Faith you were held captive for nearly three weeks.”

Tim: “We stayed up endless nights to get you back.”

Lily: “We got to you to find you with a punctured lung and a broken arm.”

Faith: “Yes. But I’m fine now.”

Bruce: “You’re off patrol for the next three weeks and I’ll make sure you get a week off from work.”

Faith: “I don’t need that Bruce. I’ll be fine going back to work and I doubt three weeks probation is needed.”

Damian: “You nearly died Mother!”

Everyone: “Mother?”

Faith: “...”

Tim: “Did you just call Faith Mother?”

Dick: “Well it certainly wasn’t a joke.”

Jason: “I think the demon needs a mommy figure.”

Damian: “Shut up Todd!”

Jason: “Demon misses his mommy!”

Damian: “I said SHUT UP!”

Faith: “Enough! Both of you! Damian get off your brother! Jason stop teasing your brother.”

Damian: “...”

Faith: “Thank you. Now. Damian I’m fine. I’ve been through far worse.”

Lily: “No you haven’t.”

Faith: “You do remember that I got into a car accident where I lost my leg, right?”

Lily: “... Right.”

Faith: “Now I’m going to go watch a movie cause I’ve been stuck in a wooden chair for a few weeks and I have a strange urge to watch Ratatouille.”

And that's it for now. I might make another post about these guys, maybe I won't, depends if people like this.

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃

TRIGGERS: divorce, mentions of crime, drug and alcohol use

the youngest child of ted and elaine mccarrick, wes was a kid who is full of life. she’s the kind of kid who did things to make you smile, and it usually worked. she was warm and inviting, a little naive, but she had a strong support system.

her parents divorce when she’s six, she doesn’t quite understand it but her dad moves out, and her grandma and multiple cousins move in. it’s a lively household, between her mom, who works as a nurse, and her siblings, and her cousins, it was never really quiet and there was never a lot of room.

despite the split, her parents maintain that their children have a relationship with both of them, and truthfully, wes is a daddy’s girl. she and her dad were cut from the same cloth, happy go lucky, fun loving, a bit silly, he’s the one who introduces her to movies. it’s their thing, watching and critiquing them together, and it’s not whatever is in theatres either. they went for all times of filmmaking, new wave, surrealist, and more.

it really stuck with wes, who herself had begun making movies, mostly horror/fantasy/scifi stuff with her friends-- she writes and directs and occasionally, she’ll don a costume and star in them. they’re silly little things, but her family always sat down for her “premieres.”

her formative years are marked with plenty of things, sports, deaths of distant family members, a cousin or two who gets caught in the wrong crowd and ends up in jail, and throughout this, wes remains a rock for her family.

she’s in high school, and she gets into the eclectic crowd, the outcasts, the weirdos, the ones who smoked under the bridge, and partied out in an abandoned trailer near the desert. these freaks were her freaks. they accepted her with open arms, as she them.

she chooses thales because she always wants to see the east coast, and frankly, as much as she loves her family, she wants to be free of them. and they have a fantastic film program. so!

she meets steven in their first film class together, and they’re fast friends, despite her usual weariness of YET another film bro, steven proves to be a good egg. so she thinks. she finds out through him talking that he might not be the most faithful to his girlfriend, and as much as she doesn’t like meddling, she thinks it’s only right to let clarissa, who she doesn’t really know well, know. however, before there’s a chance, everything happens-- now she’s stuck wondering if she should reveal the truth, or let sleeping dogs lie.

nana is different, nana and her dated her sophomore year, nana’s freshman year. it wasn’t serious. but they were fond of each other. they eventually break up, but they stay friendly, waving to each other in the halls, chatting at parties.

both the disappearance and the murder is weird for wes, who by all accounts, isn’t great at dealing with bad shit. she prefers to laugh about things. laugh about everything. because if she doesn’t laugh, she’ll cry.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘

wes is a mess, a free-spirit, a walking contradiction. she’s very independent minded, the kind of person who does things without thinking so much about the consequences, this leads her into trouble sometimes. like nicking something from a convenience store, or stealing a stop sign as a prank. she’s definitely the kind to goof off and not exactly dedicate her full attention to something. and while she’s in genuinely good spirits on most occasions, she has a staunch ‘no asshole’ policy. the type to defend the underdogs, and go after bullies. she’ll punch you with a smile on her face, and yet it ends up being more unnerving than you realize. she’s a bit of a ditz, as well, never the best at school, but can talk your ear off about the going ons of the world. she’s a lovable dumbass, for sure, and loyal to a tee once you get her as a friend.

𝐓𝐈𝐃𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐒

horror movie fan! her favorites are some of the oldies, like dracula and the bride of frankenstein! and some new ones! big fan of jordan peele’s work, as well as ari aster’s! but mostly really advocates for women directors and directors of color!

also does roller derby! she picked this up her first year at thales and fell in love with it, i can’t think of a name for her yet, but she’s a blocker, won’t hesitate to elbow some dick at the bar

kinda a tomboy? she’s always been! she’s rough and tumble and not afraid to get down and dirty with someone, i.e. will join those football games on the quad or crawl through the mud for a scene to shoot

doesn’t know if she wants to be a director/writer or a cinematographer honestly.... she loves the technical aspects of film as much as the making the stories

definition of a bruh girl, says it a whole lot, but also just if you tell her you love her, she’ll just roll her eyes and be like you’re an idiot (which means she loves you too) she’ll be affectionate if she’s close to you

kinda a wh*re oops....... texts multiple girls at a time and doesn’t want to hurt any of their feelings she doesn’t know how she keeps ending up in these situations... also a bisexual disaster

a stoner as well..... always has a massive jar of weed

unclear whether she lives on campus or off campus but if she does live off campus she has a pet turtle named elsa lanchester after the bride of frankenstein actress

a drummer! she’s in a band (name tbd) she started drumming at a young age and found it was a good way to manage her aggression

doesn’t really do well with emotions, so she’ll either be like there, there, or try to make jokes.... she really said kids can you lighten up

walking meme... such a walking meme... doesn’t know so many things she’s like a cute puppy with no thoughts head empty but she’s so fun to be around

life of the party.... nana she came fr ur spot and she took it and she’s not sorry but she does miss u a lot

doesn’t rly feel like she’s allowed to be upset anyways bc some people have it...... way worse.... can u say Imposter syndrome

kind of an enabler...... will be that person to push u to try things but not in a peer pressurey way, more like if u are unsure abt sending a text she says do it

wears fun earrings and socks! think lollipops or gummy bears or found objects like she collects that shit it’s her lifeline

boxes! she’s been boxing since she was abt 12, courtesy of her older brother (who is now a doctor thx ruby) and it’s a good way to exercise and release stress

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

best friend -- two of a feather, cut from the same cloth, or complete opposites it doesnt matter to her (the abbi to her ilana)

roller derby friends -- she’s p close to the team, margs on her

makeup artist pal -- i think it would be neat fr someone to try and teach her makeup whether its normal or sfx bc she wants to look like a monster or smthn

she’s gullible, u take advantage of that -- u just tell her lies p much and she’s like yeah ok that sounds right

party friends

classmates

fwbs (f/m/nb) -- tbh she might have one or two of these but they literally are the def of pals who bone sometimes... like v good abt being like you good? u dont want more? cool me too

exes (f/m/nb) -- mostly dated women or nb people but def cld have had a guy

she smokes you out -- p much the only reason u hang out w her is bc she has good weed

someone she’s fought -- like fully decked in the face, prob said something that rubbed her the wrong way and it just devolved from there

people who dislike her -- she could definitely be seen as annoying bc shes loud and dorky and funny so ??

breaks someone out of their shell -- p self explanatory, pushes them to have fun, w everything happening shes rly like lifes too short to not take the opportunities around u

cousins! probably on her dad’s side! i figure she has some east coast fam

anything? truly?

Note

🖊 i want to have a few sentence summaries of each oc you have and what fandom they’re for!!

Lawd have mercy, this is An Ask. I have so many babies. This is going behind a cut because it will be long.

FC5

🖊 - Del is my original deputy, born out of taking one look at Joseph and having the “oh no, he’s hot” reaction. Plus, Joseph as a character gives my heart a boner, so I had to do an oc to love up on him. She is the epitome of chaotic good. She only joined the sheriff’s department to pay the bills and because childhood bff Staci Pratt did. When they’re together, they have to share three braincells between them. They’re always getting into stupid shenanigans.

🖊 - April was my second. She’s a surgeon/child prodigy/was in medical school at age 16. She’s a little emotionally cold because of her background - emotionally neglectful parents, going right into a physically abuse marriage. She has three children from that marriage, and she moved to Hope County after being blackmailed asked by John Seed. She owed him a favor from when he was still John Duncan. She sees to the overall health and wellness of the Peggies - she does so many stitches, you guys. So many - and is also responsible for overseeing their medical supplies.

🖊 - Mavra is my captain, and she’s a stone cold badass. You know the phrase, “she would kill you as soon as look at you?” Well, Mav would much rather kill you than look at you. She’s the longtime partner (as in before the bombs even dropped) of Thomas Rush, and the mother of his daughter Mila. She is also pregnant during the events of FCND, but that comes out later (and I headcanon that baby will be a SuperBaby tm because of Eden’s Gift). As the Shepherd, she moves her children to New Eden and tries her best to get the two communities to cooperate, because they either all live together or die separately.

🖊 - Uli is another non-deputy oc. He’s an assistant district attorney in Missoula, and not really aware of the problems developing in Hope County. All he knows is he keeps getting files coming across his desk of people being arrested for serious crimes and represented by a lawyer who graduated from an ivy league school. This intrigues him and he decides to do a little digging. That’s how he meets John and it’s hate at first sight. It’s also lust at first sight and they end up hatefucking quite a lot. That is, until they both catch feelings.

RDR2

🖊 - Jessie is my main rdr2 girl. She’s pretty much a self insert into rdo who travels all around with her posse (her fam) doing jobs as the need strikes. She’s chaotic neutral. Killing, kidnapping, and destruction of property, right alongside rescues and recovery of property. She is a bounty hunter, again, as the need strikes. She’s happiest hunting and searching out treasures, and she avoids other people like the plague. That is, until she gets ambushed by a bunch of O’Driscolls and is assisted by one Arthur Morgan (as in, he’s riding through the aftermath and shoots the last remaining guy right before she sticks a hunting knife in his neck). Since she’s separated from her posse for the time being, she accepts his offer of safe harbor with the VDL gang.

🖊 - Lovisa is my other one. She’s a Swedish transplant into Saint Denis and she’s a doctor. At least, she practices medicine, even if the stupid rich old men on nob hill refuse to acknowledge her. She’s protected from charges of quackery charges by grateful patients who would otherwise be turned away from “decent” hospitals and doctors. She lives in a slum and is mostly paid in food, but at least she eats well.

🖊 - Evaline is my last rdr2 oc (so far). She’s got kind of a sketchy background right now because she’s so new, but so far I know that she was abandoned by her parents at a train station. There wasn’t an orphanage or anything she could go to, but she was taken in by the owner of a hotel in exchange for cleaning and helping out around the place. As long as she minded her Ps and Qs and avoided a beating, it wasn’t a bad life. She works as a bath girl now, and she hoards her money in a sack under her bed. As soon as she has enough saved for a decent horse, she’s going to ride out of town and never look back.

FO4

🖊 - Berenice is my FO4 baby. And boy, is she dealing with a lot. She did not cope well with the initial events of the game and spent most of the time internally screaming. But she pulls up her big girl stockings, gathers her group of ragtags, and turns into a capable leader. She and Danse totally get it on.

Destiny

🖊 - Foxtrot-5 is my exo hunter. She’s a Gunslinger who travels The Way of A Thousand Cuts. She’s a bi disaster, or bisaster. She has a crush on Zavala, and it’s honestly embarrassing for everyone involved. EVERYONE. Ultra reliant on her ghost, Sammy, to curb her dumber ideas. Cayde-6 was her best friend. She was wounded on Titan in a Hive nest and it took hours before she died and could be resurrected. It was very traumatic for her and Sammy, and she hasn’t been quite the same since. He’s afraid she might need to be rebooted, but he doesn’t want to lose her. Who knows what Foxtrot-6 will be like. She took off for the Tangled Shore as soon as they announced they were looking for a Hunter Vanguard.

🖊 - Neza is my awoken warlock. She’s a Voidwalker following the Attunement of Fission. She’s a Gensym scribe, a member of the Praxic Order with the Cormorant Seal, and she is married to Banshee-44. They’ve been together for like 80 years, since he was Banshee-15, and they’re very happy, tyvm. She is the apprentice of Asher Mir - whether he likes it or not, she’s not going to let all that knowledge die with him. She was furious after the Pyramidion debacle and barely spoke to him for like three years. He pretended to love it, but missed his “assistant”.

🖊 - Lia is my human titan. She’s a Striker and follows the Code of the Missile and is a little punch happy. She and her strike team mainly hang out on Nessus and keep the remnants of the Red Legion and the Vex from causing too much trouble. She is the: Captain, Godslayer, Iron Lord, Young Wolf, Hivebane, Kingslayer, Crota’s End, Rivensbane, Shadow of Earth, MMXIX, VIP #2014, etc etc etc. She’s lost track of her titles, thinks they’re a bit stupid really, but she has an overactive sense of duty and she rushes into a fight without really thinking it through. She is currently working for the Praxic Order to take down The Drifter, and she might be a teensy weensy bit compromised. But he better keep away from her ghost.

🖊 - Ursella Cousland is my Hero of Ferelden. I think we’re all very familiar with the Cousland background by now. She tried to honor her parents by using their teaching in all of her dealings, like when to be diplomatic and when to solve a problem with a knife. Dual wield rogue. She marries Alistair and becomes Queen of Ferelden and lives happily ever after. Let me ended it there, bioware you assholes

🖊 - Marilyn Hawke is the Viscountess of Kirkwall. Purple Hawke, my dudes. Another rogue here (I have a type, okay.) Fenris is her boo. Anders critical because, I as her creator, find Anders repulsive. She definitely kills him in the end. As much as she would love to, she is no longer able to follow Fenris around on his adventures. She gets stuck in the Fade, but you bet your ass she’ll be out and ready to kick Fen’Harel’s ass in jig time.

🖊 - Adelais Trevelyan was my first Inquisitor. As the youngest daughter of many, many siblings, she feels like she has quite large shoes to fill. Dedicated Andrastian. I headcanon that she was basically starting from scratch, combat wise. She’s would much rather be curled up with a book than out drilling in the snow. Cassandra definitely has to chase her down for training, but they bond over smutty literature. She’s reliant on Vivienne to keep her from embarrassing herself with her country bumpkin ways. They’re the land rich cash poor kind of nobility. She’s related to like…everyone. Family members all over the place. She’s madly in love with Cullen.

🖊 - Haletelbana (Bana) Lavellan is obvs my Elven inkie. I know they say the Lavellan clan roams the Free Marches, but I decided to make canon my bitch and say they were a desert clan based in the Western Approach. She joins Dorian in bitching whenever she gets cold. Eventually they just decide to share a bedroll for the warmth anytime they’re anywhere the temperature drops below sweltering. She sees the ocean for the first time in the Storm Coast and falls in love. Stupid sexy Solas breaks her heart. She also puts Briala in a position of power fuck you Celene

The Arcana

I blame @pabstbeerpussy for this.

🖊 - Sadb (pronounced Sayv) is the name of my apprentice. I don’t have much of a backstory for her yet, but she and Asra are in every kind of love it’s possible to be in, okay? Her familiar is a red panda named Batsa.

I have more, but I think this has gone on more than long enough, plus tumblr has already crashed once. But I’m always happy to scream about my babies!

#my ocs #Thanks for asking!#fc5 #rdr2 #fo4 #destiny 2 #dragon age inquisition #the arcana #i forgot Mass Effect #but damn #this is long

Genres: Contemporary, Romance, New Adult

Synopsis:

How to protect your heart: Let your bodyguard have it. Jane Cobalt is an American princess. The loyal and painfully curious twenty-three-year-old has inherited immense pressure to preserve the Cobalt legacy. But for Jane — sex, love, and life have been a series of royal failures. After a friends-with-benefits ended in disaster, she's sworn to a “no sex” hiatus for, well, eternity — and she has no intention of letting anyone in her bed and definitely not her heart. Twenty-eight-year-old Thatcher Moretti is painfully professional. As the stern 24/7 bodyguard to Jane, thinking about unbridled sex with his sweet client is a sin. One that he keeps committing. But the real act is a hard line he’d never cross. When a family member betrays Jane's trust, the media becomes obsessed with matchmaking the perpetually “single” Jane Cobalt and unwanted attention suddenly compromises her safety. Thatcher would do anything to protect her, and one solution may level the threats: Become the fake boyfriend to an American princess. Entwined together with boiling chemistry, new “professional” parameters, and an oath, unsaid feelings threaten to rise and change everything.

The town is picture-perfect, but it's hiding secrets. And before school even begins for Ellery, someone's declared open season on homecoming, promising to make it as dangerous as it was five years ago. Then, almost as if to prove it, another girl goes missing. Ellery knows all about secrets. Her mother has them; her grandmother does too.

Sebastian Quinn's taste for fast cars, late nights, and beautiful women may have gotten him to the top of a leading New York magazine, but the reputation that made him is suddenly threatening to end his career. Georgina can help Modern Man shed its bad reputation, but in order to do that, she’ll have to start at the top—and no amount of rakish charm or inconvenient attraction will distract her.

Boyfriend!Felix Stray Kids

OH BOY

Felix.

The meme himself

The creator of Changpil

I know right here and now this is going to end me

Let’s get started!

His crush on you is so bloody obvious

He’s not the subtle type

That’s not to say he isn’t hella shy with you tho

No no

He’s gonna tease you to no end istg

But he’ll always end up reassuring you that he doesn’t mean it at all and how special you truly are

Just RaNDoMly likes to crush you in a hug

Quoting the meme “that’s my best friend that’s my best friend!!””

Ye he’s very energetic with you

He’s never

NEVER

Going to stop talking around you

Unless he gets flustered with you

And then he’ll sit verrrrry still

Hands on his lap

With his lips pressed together

And owl eyes

0_0

You don’t really get why he does it

It’s cute tho

What you don’t realize is that he’s fighting with every fiber of his being to not scream and dance around because

Holy shit

He’s head over heels for you

He’s gonna try to confess romantically

Pfft like that’s gonna work out

Gonna try to take you to your favorite takeout restaurant and buy your favorite food

And he’s gonna try to stay calm

He doesn’t stay calm

He’ll suddenly blurt everything in one go:

“Soireallylikeyouandivelikedyouforasuperlongtimesoiwashopingwecouldhangoutasmorethanjustfriendssometime???!!!!!”

Basically shouted

And you’re sitting in front of him SH00K AF because

1) he confessed so suddenly

2) he did just basically yell in your face

Needless to say you’re a little lost

And poor Felix

He just looks at you horrified, apologizes for shouting and kinda looks in every direction as if waiting for someone to come rescue him

But he doesn’t get up

And finally lowers his head

“Sorry I was an idiot there…. I panicked…? I don’t know how to think staight with you”

And you’re about to get teary-eyed because BOI THAT WAS SO SINCERE

“I really like you too, Felix” you say beaming

He’s gonna look at you with the happiest smile ever omg

The same expression he had when JYP said they were debuting as 9 that expression gives me life tbh

So there we go! You guys go on a first date and it’s a sealed deal from there!

Dates with Felix

How to put it?

Chaotic? Ye that’s the word

Improvised, chaotic, fun, amazing dates

You’re ready to collapse at the end of it lol

Especially loves to go to archades or a laser tag I LOVE LASER TAG AND I WANT TO PLAY LASER TAG WITH FELIX DAMMIT *ahem* excuse me

Can you imagine running around in a dark room playing against another huge team

Which Felix is in

You don’t really know-how you both ended up on different teams smh

And you round a corner to see him facing you with the slyest of smiles

“Hey y/n! Look, I’ve got a gun!!” And proceeds to shoot you

Earning a yell of anger from you as he runs away laughing his ass off

Isn’t shy about skinship

Holds your hand without hesitation

But if you peck him on the cheek without warning

He’s gonna have a red face

And he’ll slowly melt into a puddle of goo in your hands

Ye he’s soft

Your first kiss is from a dare I bet

“You need to beat me at this game or I get a kiss”

“But you’re really good at this game and I suck!!”

“Exactly! Now let’s play”

He wins but you refuse to kiss him

“I never agreed to your terms, mister”

He pouts like a puppy but you don’t back down

“Fine then” he sulks “I’ll play it your way” and he snatches your food

Crisps, gummy sweets or a churro, he’s gonna take it and run off with it

“HOW. DARE. YOU STEAL MY FOOD! GET BACK HERE” you run after him, and you both get looks from passing people they judgin you hard

You finally catch up to him, huffing and puffing “give it back, dork”

He jumps around refusing to give your food back

You’ve lost all patience by now

You’re practically steaming when you finally growl “give it back you son of a b—“

He kissed you right on the lips, interrupting you

When you part he’s gonna let out a little scream

“I’m sorry I surprised you! That wasn’t at all planned! Can we rewind and start over??”

And then he’ll run away again, panicking.

With your food.

“FELIX ITS FINE JUST GIVE ME BACK MY DAMN SNACK”

Hehe you better wear ear defenders when you meet the rest of SK

They’re gonna scream 10x louder than ever when they see you

Congratulating Felix, warning you not to tell him where you hide your food etc

You know, Stray Kids stuff :)

“Y/n, can you teach us how you keep him under control?” -Hyunjin

“That would be useful but no one can control that hurricane of a kid” -Chan

“Feel free to hit him if he gets too annoying” -Jisung, as felix tries to wrestle him into the ground

“I hope you’re the right one for him, y/n” says Changbin. “He’s a good person, so don’t hurt him; or you’ll have to deal with me” it highkey sounds like a threat, hello Changlix

You two are the couple that don’t know wtf they’re doing half the time

You’re just having the time of your lives being together

Both of you will be lost if the other gets sick

“Is it a cold? Flu? What can I do to help?? And I might need help in helping you...” -either one of you

After many failed attempts at trying to make food or find the right medicine, you’ll just fall asleep on each other, completely exhausted

Felix can get insecure about his elimination in the 9th cries in 4 different languages

And sometimes will work himself to the bone

If you try to stop him he’ll get really defensive

He’ll push you away

“You don’t understand! You can’t understand! How can you?! I need to get this perfect or... or.....”

He realizes what he said and that it must have hurt you

Even if you keep a plain face and a steady voice, he’ll know that it hurts you

He’ll just break down in tears

“I’m sorry *sniff* I can’t even talk to you properly.... I want to get this right, I want to prove that I deserve to be in Stray Kids....”

You’re crying as hard as he is

Because his pain is yours as well

You hug him tightly, listing all the amazing things he can do

And all the things you love about him

And you’ll repeat over and over how much he does deserve to be in Stray Kids

And that will calm him down

NO MORE ANGST IM CRYING DONT LOOK AT ME

He loves teaching you dances

Not just dances that SK have done, but dances he’s done before moving to Korea

Will actually interrupt you if you try to tell him that you can’t dance

“You can. Because I’m teaching you. And i say you can dance. So you can dance.”

Veeeerrry stubborn

Tried to teach you to beat box like him

It doesn’t work

Sometimes asks for help when he’s learning something new in Korean

Even if you suck at speaking it he’ll enjoy trying to learn with you

Isn’t the texting type

He’ll call/FaceTime you when he knows you’re free and when he wants to update you in the day

Is the type to yell your name as soon as you pick up

And you reciprocate by yelling his name

If you’re in a place where you won’t draw too much attention to yourself

You both send your fav memes

Or quote them lmao

He loves quoting hella old things the other members have said and melts when you start saying them too

It drives SK up the wall RIP

You two are in charge of cooking 2-3 nights a week for the boys

Neither of you know why Chan was so ruddy insistant on it

But meh you just roll with it

If you have to cut onions, you’re both gonna start singing Seventeen’s ‘Don’t Wanna Cry’

The cooking days can be either a complete success

Or a total disaster

There is no in between

At all.

But most of the time you guys make a decent meal to feed 8 other hungry children artists so everyone’s happy

This boy is nervous as fuck to meet your family

At first he tries to back out of it

“Ah ye, I think I’ll be sick on that day?”

“What?”

“I MEAN I MIGHT HAVE AN APPOINTMENT”

He sucks at lying

But he actually gets his shit together when you meet up

Good clothes, perfect hair I mean he has perfect hair anyway sooo

And he’s super smiley

He’s obviously tense

To you anyway

But your fam don’t seem to pick up on his nervousness

And the day goes by smoothly, and Felix finally relaxes

He’s gonna flip his shit when you ask to come with him next time he goes to Australia

He’s gonna start planning it immediately

If his family don’t beat him to it and visit in Korea that is....

Then he stops functioning

Amazing s/o + family = happiest boy on the planet

And you’re relatively chilled about meeting him parents

And they are SO SWEET

You get along so freaking well with his sisters and he lowkey becomes jealous

It’s just the most amazing thing for both of you ever

In the evenings after practice Felix loves to just drift off while you two talk

From what you did in the day to a random anecdote from a decade ago

He enjoys the peace of it until he falls asleep

Will collapse with happiness if you wear his hoodies

“ITS LOOKS SO GOOD ON YOU”

“Felix are you seriously crying right now?”

“I’m just so stupidly lucky”

Definitely not gonna say ‘I love you’ on purpose

100% an accident

He’s gonna say it when he’s half asleep, probs won’t even realize that he’s said it until you react

“Man, I must dead-ass be the luckiest person on Earth to have someone as amazing as you” he rambles. “I love you so much and I just want to tell the world that I do....”

Leaving you SH00K to the core

“YOU WOT MATE?”

If you say it first he’s gonna cry

Don’t @ me I know he’s gonna cry

He's probs stolen your food again

And he’s lowkey being a twat

“If you had to choose your fav food or me, what would you choose?”

“Seriously? The food, duh”

“DUDE WHAT? Alright then! I’ll just leave” you drag him back by his arm

“Noooooo don’t leave I don’t want you to gooooo”

“Why not?”

“BECAUSE I LOVE YOU DAMMIT, WHY ELSE YOU IDIOT”

He’d do that thing again

0_0

“Oh my god, Felix I’m sorry it just slipped out”

“...”

“Felix?”

“I LOVE YOU TOO” he screams

Once again leaving you SH00K

And he’ll crush you in the biggest hug ever

IM SO SOFT HALP MEH

When SK are away

Ngl, I would pray for them

Felix is a whiney baby without you

Can even be in a grumpy mood

FaceTimes you in the evenings

His or your evenings, depending on the time zone

And you two will talk quietly until one of you falls asleep

It’s insanely adorable

Will actually start dancing in the airport before seeing you because he’s so bloody excited

And the rest of the boys disown him

“Who’s that, dancing? He looks like a pigeon” -Woojin

“Dunno, never seen him before in my life” -Minho

Earning a protest from Felix

Your ears will fall off when he finally sees you

“OHMYGODY/NYOU’REHEREI’VEMISSEDYOUSOMUCHI’MSOGLADTOSEEYOUAGAIN”

“FELIX SHUT UP YOU’RE RAMBLING AGAIN”

“WHY ARE WE STILL YELLING?”

Changbin butts in “I DON’T KNOW SO SHUT THE FUCK UP”

He’ll go public about your relationship anytime after a year

In the least flattering way for you

He’s definitely the guy who pretends to take a photo and ends up taking a video smh

You’re both smiling at the camera and he’s not taking it

“Hurry up, man, my cheekbones are getting sore”

No response from him

You immediately catch on what he was doing

“Omg I can’t believe you!!!”

As he laughs like an idiot

Will still make sure you’re ok with him posting it tho

And when he does

TheInternetHasShutDown.jpg

You guys will break the internet

There’s not a single person of consequence who doesn’t love you two

It’s absolutely amazing

A/N: PHEW! This adorable nugget coming to wreck all your bias lists lmao

Hope enjoy reading! Later :D

better late than never i always say !!! it’s me again , your garbage admin aj w another Funky Fresh garbage character. uhhhhhh i dont feel like putting my lil character form above the read more so i’ll just say this : scout’s 23, she’s a member of the walsh fam, and she is an ex-child star w......problems. they are very slightly kept under wraps, which is to say , it’s not known To The World but it’s probably apparent or becoming apparent to like. her family and friends. her label is the hot mess bc damn this girl is a hot mess ! also full intro below the cut imma try to keep it short this time pray_for_me.mp3. trigger warnings: drug references & substance abuse, ummm VAGUE mentions of disordered eating, general extra-ness

like many children of incredibly wealthy parents, scout was the kinda kid w the world at her fingertips.........so, like many children of incredibly wealthy ( & famous ) parents , she became. an actress

it was great she loved it a lot she had a lot of fun she made a lot of friends she was in.... not like a TON of things but a fair amount of things. acting wasn’t her number one priority but you’ve def seen her face in some commercials and in some movies here and there. since she’s been new york based it wasnt that huge of a thing

she didn’t really “”” “ make it big “””” until she was on some shitty mtv high school drama show ( w/ our favorite lowkey garbage aiden hyatt ) as the main love interest

howEVE R , living in la full time was kind of a disaster move tbh bc she was largely left to her own devices + could do whatever tf she wanted , and she started partying A Lot

she kinda recognized that she wasn’t doing great so she left the show and moved back to nyc to be closer to her fam but

hint: she’s still not doing great

if anything it’s gotten worse lmao

but BASICALLY scout is known for being Big Fun. she’s a tried and true PartyGrrrl, she stays out until 7 am, she’s not that.....smart........... but she does laugh a lot and smile a lot and really Seem like she has her act together. she’s always dressed head to toe in High Fashion Glam. her make up is on point. it’s great

total enabler. she will drag you to anything in the entire world that you shouldn’t be going to, you know you shouldn’t be doing this, but part of you Wants to ….. . like. she’s going to speak to the part that wants to.

very outgoing & friendly & a lil magnetic. i doubt anyone ever takes her too seriously bc she’s not exactly full of like deep intense thoughts, but she does know how to get into parties without invitation and talk her way into just about anything

has she been to an illuminati party?

yes

clubs a lot. drinks w the best of em despite being tiny. highkey has an intense adderall addiction, higherkey doesn’t think it’s a problem

prone to being manipulated bc she’ll say yes to anything ! and also prone to getting a lil overemotional

in general prone to crying. it’s REALLY embarrassing she hates it

super into music of all kinds. she’s one of those people that still thinks matty healy is like, A GOD. she hooked up with both the chainsmokers at the same time once. like. she’s that girl.

SO she puts up this intense facade of having it together and being this Fun Cool Girl and blah blah. she carries a five-thousand-dollar lanvin tote bag. her highlights were done at THE sally hershberger salon in the meatpacking district. she has a chic pedicure and smells obscure and expensive. but really she’s a fucking disaster who is Barely holding it together

some examples:

pretty intensely underweight

underneath that chic pedicure? dirty fingernails

only takes baths bc she’s too weak to stand in the shower

lets pretentious art-world guys choke her out during unprotected sex

writes her rent checks in highlighter

never knows whether to put on day cream or night cream because her hours are so bonkers!

tends to go multiple days at a time without sleeping

etc, etc

but. you know. she’s not a sad quiet mouse about it she’s Loud and Fun and not fully aware that she’s on the road to ruin

but she’s a little aware she’s a self-loathing downtown party girl fellatrix but. she masks it w expensive people and substance abuse

OK UH PLOT WITH ME some things i want:

party buddies, duh !!! especially if they are Just as fuckin messy and irresponsible as her and they enable each other’s bad habits

friends from the island or from the past who don’t realize what a shit show she is they really think she’s got it together and will Probably learn over the course of being here

on the flipside someone who resents her bc she’s like SO privileged and her life is so easy and she manages to have all these good things despite being a True shit show

hookups pls especially like Bad Irresponsible ones that she def shouldn’t have gone through with for whatever reason ( male or female listen she’s……..easy nd not picky )

literally anything else is . Good

thanks ! this has been a messy intro for a messy character by aj

#islahqintro #i tried but it's :/ really not that sort #*short

Part 2 - Jikoshoukai (it’s looooooooong so please bear reading it at your own risk orz)

* I’m in my late twenties, but looks like a teenager; one time a jeepney driver mistaken me for a college student and gave me fare discount.

* Am a Taurus, I think iirc an A+? (have forgotten about it since high school, during our physical examination at the school clinic), and my birth date sounds like a Star Wars phrase pun.

* Height’s more or less a 5’5” (until that realization a month ago, I always go on believing that I’m a 5’3” lol).

* You can describe me as a (kinda) my-pace type of girl, but in my case, more like a girl who does things in a whim and more or less likely to regret doing them.

* Always bullied since childhood, that’s why I hold grudges until now haha

* First impressions (when I see one) are hit or miss. When a person did something that make me, say, cringe... 👎🏻 unless I can see some progress.

* Also cringed at wrong grammar and spelling (gdi so many apostrophe S’s I kennat—), no offense.

* Is a cat person nyaa~

* Always been drawing stuff since childhood, wherever I can set my pen/pencil/coloring materials/etc on....even on borrowed books at our university library. Shh~

* Speaking of books, since the age of two I frequently read and read and read lots of reading materials—ranging from novels to newspapers to magazines etc. Had a collection of them at home btw, paperbacks and US magazine backissues, mostly. Amongst them, had a few Jan Karon books (under the Mitford Years series) and some Lorna Landvik novels.

* Speaking of library, this is like second home to me... lots of books, computer stations, wifi (lol), air conditioning system (another lol), solo study cubicles to take a nap on whenever time calls for it, and you can borrow almost all of the books (max. 5-6 at a time).

* I’m one of the lucky few who are referred to as the Batang ‘90s (‘90s Kids)—because, unlike kids nowadays, we’ve experienced watching Tagalog-dubbed anime during weekday afternoons after school in the 1990’s and 2000’s-early 2010’s, for one.

* An anime enthusiast, always watching anime and reading manga, one of the reasons why I draw until this day—the other because of my dear aunt (may God always bless her soul~ Also am the Secretary of my college alma mater’s anime club for I guess two years idk? Ahaha~

* Cosplayed twice during college: the first one is a disaster and my second one is super goooood xD (One of my club senpais joked about the colors of the cloth used on our maid costumes—during my first year, we’ve managed a Maid Cafe during our annual University Days—being bright and vivid as the colors of the jeepney routes in our province; he called mine the Marisol, after the Marisol-Pampang route—ctto pic)

* Been fascinated with Japan and the Japanese culture since childhood: during Grade 2, I’ve purchased a Highlights Top Secret Japan puzzle set; during Grade 6, my older cousin who now based in Japan with her own family gave me CDs of Hamasaki Ayumi and EXILE, among others.

* Collected anime posters, laminated cards, and stickers during Grade 6 until all my high school years. Dunno where they are now...

* Am picky with what I watch and read, whether it’s anime, manga, or a novel/book/magazine. ‘Cause I have a damn refined taste lol

* I also have multiple fandoms across some of the genres. I’m an Hello! Project fan since 2008 (first oshimen was Morning Musume’s Kusumi Koharu, now it’s the 15th gen’s Kitagawa Rio from Morning Musume ‘20; also a BEYOOOOONDS fan—but I love all of the girls like my younger sisters....even though my real younger sister’s a pain in the arse sometimes), a casual 48G fan since AKB48’s Heavy Rotation hit the Oricon charts—and kinda supported its international sister groups too, like our very own MNL48...but kinda laylowed since late last year. Aside from MNL48, I also supported its similar (but related?) local aidoru counterparts, Aidoru Sozai and CH4U, since 2018. But, ever since that goddamn COVID-19 virus and quarantine started, the need to support the members had gradually lost in my hands (don’t worry tho, I still checked out on their SNS even if not on a daily basis).

* Before, I always listened mostly to idol songs (75% of which are H!P), but when my old phone broke (and we have wifi now) I tuned in daily to Spotify and listened to some of its playlists—to which I select a few songs and gathered them in my own playlist full of J-Tracks and old stuff.

* I’m a huge fan of Takaya Natsuki’s “Fruits Basket”, ever since I have watched the Tagalog-dubbed original/Studio Deen version on TV every Saturday morning during the early 2000’s. Read the almost-150+-ish chapters during my high school and college days, read some of “Fruits Basket ~another~”, and now currently watching the 2019 version. Also have a dog-eared TokyoPop copy of the ~Cat~ fanbook skl.

* Due to the influence of some of my artist collab buddies and a certain redraw challenge (#HaikyuuRedraw), at almost three? months, I’m basically new to the Haikyuu!! Fandom. In less than a month, I’ve watched Seasons 1 until the first half of On The Top!!—including the OVAs, read the full 400+ chapters of the “Haikyuu!!” manga non-stop (because, ‘it’s fast-paced’ as I have told one colleague before), and its spin-offs “Haikyuu-Bu” and “Let’s Haikyuu”, and watched all four compilation movies. (Now rewatching Season 2 btw...) *whispers low* Not to mention countless fanfictions and doujins...... FUN FACT: If you visited my Pinterest page, you’ll be annoyingly (imo) amazed at how many Haikyuu!!-related memes, comic panels, fanarts and stuff I have saved in my two boards. Also made some chibi fanarts (first one being Inarizaki’s Capt. Kita; will post Kenma’s later tonight) and some WIP sketches (one Hinata, one Oikawa—on an UFO, duh—and a Yachi... all of them chibified) that idk when the fuck will I start to work on them again qwq (Whew... my longest paragraph so far, sorry~)

* Created my Facebook art page and began sharing my doodles and drawings to the public since 2017 (more then three years ago), then since early 2018 started doing MNL48 and other local aidoru groups’ fanarts in trad (colored ballpens and colored pencils on cheap bond paper halves). Then early 2020, I started doing anime fanarts as part of a collab for I think half a year now.

* I have been a member of two artists’ collaboration groups on Facebook—MFA48 (specializing in mostly MNL48-related group fanart collabs) and Anime Art Collaboration Group (an exclusive-for-Filipino-artists’ collab group specializing in two-week anime collabs and other art activities, to which I’m a part of its Council as the Fukaichou/Council VP). Also a staff member at a memeposting Facebook page for more than a year now (belated Happy Anniversary to me lol~).

* Did make some padorus, a few memes—including an all-in-one virtual powerbank charger, ‘patent pending’—and stuff.

* WIPs old and new kept on piling up due to many distractions (namely, this phone I’m using rn and its many installed apps) and disturbances (my fam, on the top of the list). And I really hate it qwq hence the frustration and stress...

* A lazy person actually tee hee~ (and a big eater but kinda slim like Miaka from “Fushigi Yuugi”)

...well? Ahehehe~ hope you stick on reading all of these bullshit till the end, tho. Ja~ see y’all again! （＾∇＾）

(Hope it can fit within Tumblr’s character number parameters or something...)

Pas de Deux (Ken x Reader)

Rating: M, very very VERY M

(A/N) The fam wanted some sub!Ken and, boy howdy, I was more than WILLING to give! To spice things up, I made this a Ballet AU because why the hell not? He’s my ult and he deserves a cool AU! (ps i just busted the fattest nut for this gif holy cow)

The orchestra struck the first note of the grand pas de deux boldly, as it should be, opening up the scene for the audience who were already scooting closer in their seats to catch a glimpse of what was to come. For this particular ballet, which contained numerous modern and adult concepts like love, sex, control, and the power struggle between two lovers, was not only a dance, but a song as well; a song of both your bodies and voices that captured the essence of the characters' relationship. It was the first time in the entire show that you and your partner were to sing, being the last characters in the plot to showcase your voices to the audience who wanted to know if you both could dance and sing. Critics in the crowd were ready to pick you apart, ready to write columns about how you were nothing more than dancers who could maybe carry a tune when asked. But you had a fiery anger in your heart, defiance lifting your chin as you strode out elegantly toward center stage, ready to prove those ruthless columnists wrong.

You heard numerous audience members gasp as you glided to the middle, performing several intricate dance passes while they gawked at your stage outfit which was innovative and daring for a ballet. Much of your skin was exposed, save for your breasts and tutu, and the audience members soon understood the sexual nature of this grand pas de deux when your partner and danseur breached the stage.

He was wearing nothing but tight black trousers, his lean yet well-muscled chest shining in the spotlight as he approached you boldly, his eyes on fire with passion and love. As you allowed his hands to skim over the bareness of your waist, you gazed up coyly at him, fingers gently brushing the features of his face: kind brown eyes that also held lust, a strong nose, plush and full lips made to kiss, and a sharp jawline that you traced delicately. He would be the first to sing, appearing to dominate the entire scene as well as your body until your turn came.

You lifted up to pointe, raising a single leg as your partner's hand guided it higher and higher, showing the audience that he was in control as his hands never left your body once. The orchestra quieted down from the dark and heavy tune, your partner boldly catching your jaw in his hand as he began to sing, his voice low and sensual enough to cause goosebumps along your arms, even after practicing with him for months on end. His voice was absolutely incredible and you begrudgingly had to give him that as he tilted your head back and skimmed his lips over your throat, feeling their fullness against your skin while you let out a small shaky sigh. You hated how easily he could affect you, even with his acting, but you knew very well he enjoyed toying and teasing you, even during important performances where your reputations were on the chopping block.

You and him performed various difficult lifts, never fearing for your safety once because you had learned to put all your trust in him, in Jaehwan.

The music suddenly became softer, more feminine and sensual, as your time to shine arrived. Where Jaehwan controlled much of the scene before, manipulating your movements and dominating the dance, the tables were now turned. In the dance, you caught the hand that raced up your leg, pulling him to and fro as you showed the audience that you had power in the relationship as well. Your voice rang out clear through the theatre, laced with emotion and gorgeous to hear as you even caught Jaehwan off guard with your song for a millisecond. You heard numerous audience members sigh in appreciation, hoping that a few of them were critics as you continued your pas de deux with Jaehwan.

This entire scene and dance was crafted to show that the woman could easily dominate the man in the bedroom if she so pleased, taking control of him and both learning that he enjoyed this feeling as the scene slowly drew to a close. It evoked feelings of sexual pleasure in any person, and even in yourself as you felt a certain dampness in your leotard from all of Jaehwan's touches. The last dance sequence, and possibly the most controversial and risqué of them all, was when you and Jaehwan dropped to the ground, his back flat on the floor as you crouched over him. Bending close with the sounds of a barely audible orchestra, you ran your lips up his thigh, feeling something twitch against your mouth that made you flush when you ghosted over his crotch. You continued your long and teasing journey from his hips to his chest, his hands slowly coming up to wrap around your waist as you trailed up his neck before ending at his lips. The music rang out as you stopped, fading into silence as your lips barely brushed Jaehwan's while the lights began to dim around your entwined bodies, giving off the feeling of privacy and intimacy before blackness closed around you.

A few moments passed, frozen in your spot against Jaehwan while your chests brushed one another from trying to catch your breath. His lips accidentally, or not, you couldn't tell in the dark if he was smirking or not, skimmed over yours once again before helping you up as the lights turned on again, revealing your smiling forms. You laced your hands together, raising them high in the air before bowing deeply as your fellow dancers and cast members joined you on stage for curtain call. You could barely see past the dazzlingly bright spotlights, but managed to see a few men and women with notepads who were clapping respectfully, nodding approvingly as they scribbled a few notes here and there. You felt giddy upon seeing that, happy to have left everything on the stage tonight so you could really savor these next days of rest and relaxation.

After waving goodbye a few more times, you and Jaehwan, who still held your hand walked off into the dimness of the backstage area where all the crew members were cheering upon your arrival. Speaking truthfully, you and Jaehwan definitely had the hardest time out of everyone, being the two main characters in a highly controversial debut ballet that could either be a hit or a disaster. You'd practiced for months on end, beat out other ballerinas to land this role and in the end, would have to take the most criticism out of everyone who had been on stage. The director had warned the two of you that there would be times when critics could come after the production simply because it didn't follow tradition, because it was modern, but that just made you more and more determined to prove them wrong.

The director came in with a huge grin on his face, coming toward you and Jaehwan who he embraced happily, ruffling your partner's hair like he was his son and patting your cheek like you were his daughter. You smiled up at him as he congratulated the two of you, his voice booming with praise, "In my fifty years of working on this stage, and the hundreds of dancers and singers I've ever worked with, you two, by far, have been the greatest my eyes have ever beheld. Simply incredible!"

The other cast cheered in agreement, making you blush as you smiled, receiving hugs from them before turning up to see Jaewhan looking down at you somewhat intently. Your eyebrows raised at his look, never having seen such an expression on his face off stage. Certainly you'd seen that look on stage during the pas de deux, but he was usually a cute and goofy flirt who couldn't ever get his hands off you. He seemed rather quiet now, distant almost as the director loudly announced he would treat everyone to dinner and drinks tonight at a super nice restaurant. Jaehwan was always one to get excited about food, but he looked disinterested as he walked off farther backstage, heading toward one of the doors that led to the fire escape as people shuffled out.

"__________," one of your friends you'd made called out, taking your hand as she smiled at you excitedly. "Aren't you coming? Get out of that tutu and let's go!"

You gave her hand a squeeze, an apologetic smile on your face as you replied, "I'll be a little late to the party. Save me a seat okay? There's something I have to do real quick."

"Okay...," she pouted, backing away as you grinned at her child-like behavior. "Don't take too long though!"

You nodded, waving goodbye and watching her form disappear before you traced Jaehwan's footsteps, still in your full ensemble and pointe shoes as you pushed open the emergency exit quietly, his name on your lips, "Jaehwan...?"

You saw him leaning against the railing, watching the cars zoom here and there on the busy street below in just his stage outfit. The way his back muscles flexed as he turned slightly to look back over his shoulder made you blush a little, his voice quiet, "__________." You came up beside him, grasping the railing as you looked up at his handsome side profile that was illuminated by the ambient lighting of the street. He didn't seem to be looking at anything in particular, his brown eyes following cars disinterestedly as they raced past, "Why aren't you with everyone else?"

"I came to check on you," you said with a small smile, placing a hand on his tan forearm that made him flinch much to your surprise. Your smile faded, making you take back your hand and wring them together as you stuttered, "I-I was worried about you since you seemed so..."

Jaehwan finally turned to look at you, making you quiet down, his eyes dark and half-lidded as he traced your figure and studied your face. You felt his gaze on your lips linger for a moment too long before reaching your eyes, making you bite your lip subconsciously as you timidly asked, "Is everything alright?"

You'd never seen him look so downcast and it made your chest ache for some inexplicit reason that confused you. You mentally shook yourself, Jaehwan was your friend and closest dance partner, it was perfectly normal to be concerned for him like this.

"__________," he murmured, leaning close enough that you felt his warm breath ghost over your face. You looked up at him expectantly, fingers squeezing tightly together, your heart beating erratically in your chest as you waited for his next words.

"You should go."

He didn't even wait for your response, heading back inside the theatre and leaving you out in the humid summer night air as the cocophonous sounds of the city were dulled by the disappointment in your heart. You vaguely heard the door click close, snapping you back to reality as you pushed it open angrily, scanning the backstage halls to find your dance partner.

He wasn't in any of the changing rooms, not even his own, and everything in there was still untouched. Nor was he onstage or in the audience, the balcony seats were a ghost town as well.

"Where did you go...?" You whispered, wracking your brain for any ideas as to where Jaehwan must've stalked off to brood. Pacing around backstage again, you cursed quietly when you accidentally kicked a prop, a set of fake keys that clinked loudly over the dark wood floors. That's when it clicked in your mind. Thinking of your own set of keys in your bag in your room, you rushed toward the stairs near the back of the theatre that led to the old apartments that were built nearly a hundred years ago for dancers and actors who couldn't afford to live far from their work. Both you and Jaehwan, as well as several other cast members, were all given access to a room to stay in for the duration of the ballet.

You climbed the stairs carefully in your silk pointe shoes, reaching the old-fashioned and dimly lit hall that served as the common area for all the apartments. You passed your own, reaching for the handle on the door next to yours before you stopped yourself from turning it. What if Jaehwan wanted to be alone right now? Perhaps he was upset about something that happened during the performance?

You thought about the ending of the grand pas de deux, blushing as you remembered the obvious twitch you had felt against your lips when you skimmed them over the front of his pants. You swallowed guilty, realizing you almost could've embarrassed Jaehwan in front of hundreds of strangers, one touch too many and he would have been on display for all of them.

"It was me," you whispered to yourself, feeling an overwhelming need to apologize to Jaehwan, lest your conscious would never leave you alone. That, and you had grown to care about him deeply, not only as your danseur, but perhaps more than just a friend.

You knocked timidly, wetting your lips nervously as you called out, "Jaehwan...? May I come in?"

You heard little noises from within, bare feet padding across the old wood floor before the knob turned inside your hand, making you pull it away hastily. The door opened to reveal Jaehwan, still dressed only in his dark trousers with a surprised look on his face. His brown eyes seemed lighter, but they still held something unfamiliar as he spoke, voice slightly hoarse as he cleared his throat. "_________, I thought you left."

You shook your head, taking a gingerly step toward him as you looked up through your lashes. "Not yet. May I come in for a minute? Only for a minute, I swear."

You saw the reluctance in the way his hand held the dulled brass door knob, but whatever he was wrestling with seemed to give way as he held the door open wider, "Of course."

You stepped past him into the modest apartment, which was nearly identical to yours, with its musty queen-sized bed and ugly drapes that opened to a large paneled window. Mustering up your courage, you finally turned back to him, gasping when you found yourself staring at his chest. Your nose brushed his skin as you looked up at him, slightly startled when you saw a new look in his dark eyes, "Well?"

"Well," you echoed, nearly forgetting why you had come into his room in the first place as you held his sharp gaze. You let a shaky breath leave your lungs. "J-Jaehwan, I just wanted to apologize..."

"Apologize," he said flatly, thumb coming up to your trembling bottom lip that you thought had nearly cost him his career. "Are you here to say you're sorry for making me feel the way I do right now?" His eyes stared at your mouth before glancing up at you.

"I-I didn't mean to make you so sad," you stuttered, gaze falling to the floor as you stared at your pointe shoes. You felt his other hand brush over your hips, landing to a place on your lower back that would have felt familiar had you been on stage. Standing alone with him, so close, in his apartment made his touches suddenly feel so different, made you feel different.

"You think I'm sad, sweetheart?" He asked, fingers slowly undoing the ribbon lacing of your tutu. You shivered at the pet name, only ever having heard your name come from his mouth. This gave an entirely different affect. "I'm not sad, far from it."

You didn't realize he had been backing you toward the bed until the backs of your knees hit it. You also felt your tutu slacken around your waist, eyes widening while your own hands seemed to have a mind of their own as they rested gently against Jaehwan's chest. "Then what are you?" Curiosity pricked at your brain like an annoying itch, you wanted desperately to know the answer.

"I'm frustrated," he murmured after a moment, brown eyes burning as he pushed down your tutu, making you suck in a breath as you naturally stepped out of it, leaving you in just your leotard bottoms. His hand caught your jaw, bending his head down so that his lips danced just out of reach of yours, his words washing over you in waves. "Frustrated with how much you affect me, what you do to my body when we're on stage. It's just dancing, but when I feel you pressed against my chest or my mouth on your neck, I can't help myself from feeling the way I do."

"Jaehwan," you murmured, shocked at his confession as you felt your heart brim with excitement. You wanted to tell him that you felt the same way, that you felt all of that too, all along; but one moment your lips were spreading into a smile, the next Jaehwan had crushed his into them. If he wouldn't let you tell him with words, you'd just use your body like the ballerina you were to show him how you felt.

You'd only daydreamed about what it would be like to actually kiss Jaehwan fully on the mouth, not a teasing brush that you had to do during performances, but really kiss him. He was better than anything you had imagined during your backstage musings, his pillowy lips caressing and practically making love to yours while all you could do was cling to his shoulders and make small gasps of appreciation. His tongue came out to lick along your bottom lip, beggaring for a taste as you granted what he desired, eyes rolling to the back of your head at the feeling of his wet muscle exploring your mouth. He pulled away for a moment, eyes surprisingly warm and familiar as he pivoted around and laid down on his bed with you on his chest. Seeing him beneath you made your heart hammer against your ribs, as you watched his kiss swollen lips spread into one of his signature smiles that made his eyes crinkle adoringly. He cooed your name, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear while you straddled his waist, shifting to a more comfortable position.

You smiled back, hand coming up to stroke his soft dark brown hair as you whispered earnestly, "You know I like you, right?"

"I know," he murmured sweetly, tugging you back down toward his awaiting lips, which you avoided teasingly. He let out a soft groan when you attacked your mouth to the underside of his jaw, sucking and licking until tiny bruises danced across his tan skin. You gave a small gasp when one of his big hands came down to squeeze your ass, the coldness of the many rings he decorated his fingers with sent a shiver down your back toward your most intimate area. The way your plush lips felt against his jaw and neck was driving him crazy, brow furrowing with pleasure when your sank down to press fully against his chest.

"__________," he groaned as you kissed down his body, his fingers tighty threading into the silky strands of your hair when you reached the top of his pants. "Jesus Christ, baby girl." He felt his cock twitch when your fingers worked to unbutton him, eager to slip him out of his confines.

"You're so big for me," you cooed, surprising yourself with your words as you felt some your character's dominant personality from the ballet slip into you. Jaehwan could only throw his head back when you gave his leaking member a teasing lick, hand shaking in your hair as you tasted the saltiness of him. You dribbled some of your saliva on his length, slicking his member so you could give him a few experimental pumps. You flushed with pride when you heard him sharply suck in a deep breath, your name playing on his lips like a broken record. Your name coming out of his mouth sent pulses of heat to your pussy, causing you to squeeze your thighs together on instinct as you tongued the small slit of his tip. He was so, so close, it almost pained you to stop your movements, but hearing the delicious whine that left his mouth made up for it.

"Baby," you moaned, extracting yourself from his hold as you turned around, peeking over your shoulder coyly. "Help me?" You gestured to the laced up back of your top and Jaehwan eagerly responded to your request, nimble fingers working fast to free you from your outfit. He pressed kisses to your shoulder, mouthing the sound of your neck and biting the crook of your shoulder hard enough to leave a crescent shaped bruise. You gasped and leaned your head back against his chest, allowing him to litter your skin with hickeys that would remind you of him later.

Once free from your top, Jaehwan's hands didn't hesitate to cup your breasts from behind, a cry leaving your lips at his touch. You arched back into him, hands helplessly grasping at his forearms as he pinched your hardened peaks teasingly.

"So sensitive...," he muttered, holding back his groan of appreciation as he saw you press your thighs together. "Baby girl, are you wet for me right now?" He reached down and stroked your folds through your flimsy leotard, instantly feeling your arousal through the thin fabric. "There we are."

You turned around in his hold, eyes clouded with a neediness that made him want to do whatever it was you would ask of him. You whimpered softly, hands on his shoulders already gently pushing him down to his knees, "Jaehwan, I need your mouth."

He nodded, fingers pulling down your leotard bottoms to get access to your heat until you swatted his hand away. He looked up at you in surprise, only to groan when he saw the dominating look in your eyes that he saw earlier resurface again.

"Stay," you commanded, bending over to unlace your pointe shoes before your mind reeled giddily over the idea that passed through it when you saw the silk ribbons that kept the shoes in place. Freed from your shoes, you took one of the black ribbons in your hand, running your fingers over the smooth fabric before you strolled behind Jaehwan who eyed you curiously.

You knelt behind him, taking both his hands and clasping them together before tying them securely with the ribbon. You smirked and walked back in front of him, happy when he didn't complain, just eyed you hungrily as he awaited for further instruction.

"You're such a good boy," you praised while you slipped out of your bottoms, the cool air of the apartment hitting your lower lips and making you sigh. You lifted one of your legs over Jaehwan's shoulder, resting your foot on the edge of the bed as you exposed your pussy to him.

He couldn't help but groan at the sight, his hard dick flexing against his stomach as he regarded your lower lips. They dripped and glistened with your arousal, practically begging for him to taste you as he watched them clench and pulse. He blew cool air on it, earning your fingers tugging at his hair as you released a moan.

"Your pussy's fucking pretty, baby girl," he murmured lowly in appreciation, leaning in to nose along your inner thigh as he looked up at you for permission. You could barely nod, teeth digging into your bottom lip as you felt him lick one slow stripe from bottom to top, legs shaking as you cried out. He looked up at you through his lashes, dark amber pools of lust that drove just as deep into your heart as his tongue slipping into your cunt.

He kissed and slurped at your center with his plush lips, extracting sinful sounds from your throat as you choked, "O-oh, Jaehwan...!" You could barely keep his steady gaze as he flattened his tongue against your lower lips, squeezing your eyes shut as the ability to keep your hips still fell away from your grasp. You bucked into his awaiting mouth, the danseur humming contently as the hand in his hair became painful.

"Baby boy," you swallowed, brows furrowed in pleasure as you rolled your pussy over his tongue that was stuck out obediently for you to fuck against. Jaehwan hated how much he loved being used by you like this, knowing that whatever you asked of him he'd do it in a heartbeat. He hated how he whimpered against your cunt, but loved it when he heard your praises. "You make me feel so good, Jaehwan. Do you like it when I fuck your tongue?"

Jaehwan nosed your inner thigh before circling your clit with his wet muscle, groaning pathetically as he nodded, "I love eating out your pretty pussy, sweetheart. You taste so fucking good." You'd never thought you'd hear him sound this submissive, taking him to have more of a dominant drive when it came to the bedroom. You don't know why it pleased you so much to know he was that weak for you, his cock straining and twitching against his abdomen.

The coils of pleasure were tightening in your stomach the moment Jaehwan had laid his tongue against your pussy, but the second he attached his beautiful pink lips to your clit, you snapped. One moment you felt in control, the next you were bucking wildly, head thrown back as you cried out from your release. Jaehwan loyally helped you ride out your high, catching your essence on his tongue while his wrists strained against the silk ribbons that bound his hand at his want to touch you. Through your hazy pleasure, you saw the way his shoulders flexed from his insistent tugging against his restraints.

Calming down slightly, though still intensely sensitive, you fell to your knees in front of Jaehwan. You kissed him passionately, tasting the salt of yourself on his tongue while you reached around him to unbind his wrists. As much as you loved to see Jaehwan tied up like a pretty present just for you, you wanted to feel his rough hands on your skin again.

The moment Jaehwan was free, you were thrown onto the bed like a rag doll, gasping and blinking in shock as you watched him shed his pants completely. He stood there admiring your naked body on his bed, spread out all for him to have. Your flushed cheeks and half-lidded eyes, a rosy tint to the rest of your skin as you bloomed in the afterglow of your orgasm. You were fucking gorgeous and he wanted nothing more than to put his cock in your pussy and fuck you until the sun rose and you only remembered his name. The predatorial look in Jaehwan's eyes made you whimper for him, body trembling in anticipation against the sheets as you saw him lick his lips like you were a feast made just for him.

"You had your fun, baby girl," he murmured, crawling on the bed with a wolfish smirk as he caged you between his strong arms. "But now it's my turn, sweetheart, and I'm gonna make the most of it." A hand came down to spread your clenched thighs, parting them easily without resistance as you watched him with bated breath. "You're practically dripping, kitten," he muttered quietly, eyeing hungrily the way your essence still leaked heavily from your heat.

Taking his member in his hand, he teased your still sensitive clit with the tip, smirking when he saw your thigh muscles twitch from the over stimulation. You moaned quietly, just a wisp of air escaping your lungs as you grasped Jaehwan's shoulders, the warmth of his skin your only comfort as you waited for more of his relentless teasing.

"You want me so badly, don't you?" He asked with a glance up at you, his lips closing around your breast too quickly for your tastes before pulling back. "You want my cock buried deep inside your cunt."

You were close to replying when you felt the head of his member press past your entrance, aided by your slickness. Your toes curled at the pleasure of the stretch, your walls still flexing from your release as he pushed further and further inside you. Jaehwan groaned long and hard, so satisfied with the feeling of you around him after wanting it for so long. Sheathed fully inside your heat, he stilled, relishing the feeling of completion as you gulped underneath him like a fish out of water. He was pressed firmly against a spot inside of you that made your back arch and nails dig into the flesh of his shoulder.

"J-Jaehwan," you stuttered desperately, shifting your hips as much as you could to urge him on. "Please...!"

Answering your prayers before you even finished your sentence, he drew his hips up before slamming back inside of you with a loud smack. You cried out, legs coming up to hook around his lower back as he lowered himself to his elbows to drive into you better. His thrusts were fast and hard, relentless and nearly animalistic as he grunted and groaned your name. He was so good, and he knew it too by the way he spoke lowly to you through it all, "You feel so fucking tight, baby. So fucking tight around my cock."

The profanities spilling from those perfect lips made you feel the burn of another orgasm flare up inside of you, nails taking through his hair as you tried to relieve the tension you were feeling. Jaehwan noticed this immediately, his hand flying down to your swollen clit to apply a generous amount of pressure while he growled, "Are you gonna come for me again? You gonna come all over my cock, sweetheart?"

"Jaehwan!" You cried out loudly. Not even the creaking of the old bed or the thick brick walls could muffle the sounds of your release as you came again, trembling uncontrollably against Jaewhan while your nerves fired erratically, making your muscles twitch from the sheer pleasure. Seeing you helplessly tossing underneath him as you came, tiny hands scrabbling for purchase on his shoulders made his hips stutter. You were so fucking tight around him, it would have been impossible for any man with a functioning cock to not come right then and there. And he did, muscles tensing as he stilled inside of you, a sudden warmth bursting within your center while Jaehwan let out the most beautiful moan. You ran your fingers through his hair as you watched him pump himself in and out of you gently, milking as much of his cum inside of you as he could. It was a pride thing for him. He wanted you to feel him leaking down your thighs days after this, reminding you that it was his cum that had filled you up.

You wouldn't say it out loud, but you liked the feeling of his release inside of you, warming your walls with its stickiness even as he carefully pulled out of you. He collapsed against you, pressing as many kisses as he could on your skin before he murmured earnestly against your lips, "I love you."

You flushed at his words, glancing up to meet his gaze as he hovered just above you. A smile suddenly appeared on his lips as repeated himself, cooing softly, "I love you, _________."

A special kind of happiness only felt after hearing those words blossomed within your heart, causing your to pull him close, lips brushing his ear as you whispered, "I love you too. I think I always have."

He rested his head on your chest, fingers tracing the delicate bruises that he had left against your neck as he smirked coyly, "I knew it."

You pouted, tracing the moles on his back and connecting them like constellations, "What's that supposed to mean?"

His arms closed around you again, burrowing you into his blankets as he grinned, "You wouldn't want to be just friends always looking at me like that, like you wanted to simultaneously skin me alive and kiss me."

You nodded in understanding, a small smile working its way on your lips, "Well, you did make me want to kiss you, but all your teasing also made me want to 'accidentally' kick you in the face during the présage." You laughed at the look of mock hurt on his face as he must've imagined performing the difficult lift and you kicking him in not so pleasant places. "But I wouldn't," you added teasingly, pressing a kiss to his prominent nose. "Because your face is too cute to mess up."

"Wow, now you're calling me cute," he smirked mischievously, turning you over so you were caged underneath him again. His fingers crept up the soft skin of your hips, wandering over your curves as he peeked at you from under his lashes, "I wonder what else I can do to make you compliment me...?"

You know what annoys me abt J&D shippers? The fact they're so contradicting. Jon is a dragon when it fits them, and he's a wolf when it fits them. I read so many different metas that approach his character differently, however it fits into the meta they try to write, and yet they use ALL the meta as evidence for their ship, ignoring that they can't coexist, because one evidence then excludes the other and vice versa. One thing I love abt J&S metas is they're always complementary, more convincing

(2) so I’m probably the only one who thinks this, hehe, but I do not think jon discovering that dany is his aunt, it’s going to affect him so much, let me explain, neither of them know each other, they did not grow up together, they’re practically like strangers and have the same age, you could say that they are more like cousins, I do not say that this discovery will not affect their relationship, of course it will, but in my opinion it is more about the fact that jon will suffer an identity crisis

(3) and dany is going to feel threatened by Jon, it is not so much the fact that they had sex being family, I think the discovery that dany burned Sam’s family and that she might leave him for the throne, is what is really going to break their relationship from his point of view. A lot of the clue for jonsa in the books is when jon and ygritte are in the cave, and ygritte asks “you’d sleep with your own sister?” and he says “longspear’s not your brother.”, and many have pointed out that Jon never

(4) answered the question, who says that Jon is so against incestuous relationships? I’m a jonsa too, hehe

Dear nonny, you know I tend not to delve into Jon /D metas in depth because it is somewhat depressing. They have four to five book quotes that are ripped out of context, they have their parallels which are not really parallels but juxtaposition, they parallel quotes from the show which again when seen in context show that Jon and D are exact opposites, and then they go on about how good Kit and Emilia look together and of course they are ICE and FIRE! Since season 7 ended Jonsa shippers have been busy detecting all kind of evidence from the books and still finding more and on the whole they have been civil about it (as far as I know, I’ve seen far more crosstagging, jumping on posts etc. from Jon/D shippers). But as a member of the lovely Jonsa fam I am biased… And of course I like our metas best!

As to your other question, I agree that the parentage reveal will be a foremost an identity problem for Jon, and foremost a threat from another claimant for D. And there are several other issues like Sam’s family that threaten the endurance of J0nerys as a ship. So, even without the incest it would have ‘doomed’ spelled all over it.

I disagree somewhat on how the fact that they are family will affect Jon. If he is already in love with Sansa and is tortured by it, he might mind the incest simply because he tried his best to avoid Sansa and incest with his half-sibling, as he knows it, only to manage to sleep with his aunt. The irony of it will certainly affect Jon. (You know nothing, Jon Snow!). You might be right though, that the actual incest won’t have such an impact on him, as the irony of it all. On the other hand he seems to take actual relatedness as a valid argument against a relationship.

I’ve thought about the possibility of J0nerys back when I first read the books, and have had the idea ever since that it would fall into the ‘accidental incest trope’. So Jon might be o.k. about that, as you think, since he didn’t know, but as a literary trope it spells disaster just like everything else about J0nerys.

I agree on your last point though, Jon is not against the relationship with his cousin, I would just like to insist that this is not incest. To call a cousin relationship incest is influenced by the law in some US states, but it’s absolutely o.k. in most of the countries of the earth. I always tell people who are in doubt about this, that even the Catholic Church (!!!!) allows cousin marriage.

Anyway Jon is clearly on the nature side, when it comes to incest: the quote you shared proves it. So, ‘raised as siblings’ which is just a stupid argument anyway - as if no hero ever discovered his love for the girl next door who had been close to him all the time - could be refuted by Jon’s own words.

#anon ask #Jonsa #Anti-Jonerys #This was tagged anti with a hyphen and should not show up on your J0nerys dash if you search for the 'tag' and not just the 'word'#How will Jon react to the parentage reveal #jon is a stark #Warg not Targ

Some stuff I believe

I was talking with a friend recently about my ideas on God and spirituality. I've been wanting to share what I believe in for awhile, but have resisted the urge to because I didn't feel like I had a whole hell of a lot figured out and no accurate way to articulate what I believed. One of my favorite pass-times is discussing beliefs with friends because it's always interesting, and I always leave the conversation feeling like I've learned something! After all, friendly debate is a way to practice articulation and recall of information!

So what do I believe? I believe in a lot actually. My beliefs encompass my living, too! I recycle because I want to help save the planet. I want to help save the planet because if we don't, our resources will be depleted, natural disasters will keep gaining in magnitude and frequency until our Earth Mother (Yes, I kind of believe it's a real thing, like Eywa from Avatar.) brings things back into balance, so to speak. I believe that if the human race is to survive, we willhave to adopt real sustainability practices and refuse to deviate from them!

Part of being sustainable means being conscious of what foods you buy and what they are packaged in. Can that container be recycled or reused some how? If the answer is no, opt for something else where possible. "We vote with our dollars!" (Uncle Roy) That means what we buy is what companies will want to sell to us. I remember a time when it was difficult for me to buy organic food for my family but now you see organic food just about everywhere because more and more people have made it known that organic is what we want!

I still don't see much recycling in my opinion. I think there should be recycling bins EVERYWHERE, in gas stations, banks, malls, restaurants, bars, even. I also think there should not be a law against dumpster diving! I swear that is one of the dumbest laws I ever heard of! If something is in the trash, it should be free game and people shouldn't be prosecuted for grabbing something out of the dumpster that can still be used! I've found some pretty cool things scavenging out of dumpsters including a neon Bob Marley poster that glows brightly under my blacklight; a Brita water filter, still in the package(!) because someone tossed it for having a little knick in the top(!); and a coffee table and a shelf. Brad's neighbors put their table and chairs out on the side of the road last year and I grabbed them!lol There's almost always a way to donate, reuse, recycle, and reduce waste!

Now, back to food. I believe diet is everything! What we put into our bodies directly affects what our bodies manifest! Literally, we are what we eat! I believe that what our ancestors ate is probably what we should be eating! I'm talking about hunter/gatherer roots! Indian days! Oh, I mean, Native American days.lol Whatever you prefer. This land was supposed to be the land of the free and it used to be! To the Native Americans! The first peoples who were here before the Europeans, who stole the land and forced "civilization" onto the once peaceful landscape! I've been told I am part Indian/Native American before but I have yet to complete the ancestry thing due to lack of funds...

Now I'm thinking again of Pocahontas and why I started this whole post in the first place! lol You guys remember Grandmother Willow! (Side note: Did you know white willow bark was the precursor and is the natural alternative to aspirin?) Grandmother Willow is the perfect metaphor for something I believe in and that's that all living things are sentient in some way! I mean, think about it! Did you know that plants can scream? Did you know they release pheromones to communicate with other members of their own species?! I recently discovered this and it's really had me thinking! I've never gone vegan or vegetarian because they didn't make sense to me. Biologically speaking, our teeth were made like other omnivores' to bite meat and to chew vegetation. So this new bit of information about plants being sentient is not to say we are all wrong for eating other sentient beings. Not at all! I don't know who said it but "Life requires death." We must kill to eat to survive. That's why the Indians/Native Americans only killed what they absolutely needed to eat and used and ate every part of the animal! They also prayed to the animals spirit and thanked it for its nourishment! I wonder if they did that to the plants they used too? Maybe they just looked at Mother Earth as a sentient being (Avatar) and worshiped her. Maybe we should adopt some of those ideologies! We sure as hell wouldn't treat the planet so poorly! What we audaciously fail to realize as a species is that what we don't give back to the earth is what we will eventually be starved to receive! Oh, wait, that's happening right now!

I believe that there is a collective consciousness spread out and manifested in different forms and spirits are a part of this inconceivably interconnected life Force! And yes, just like in Star Wars, I believe there is a Dark Side and a Light Side. Let's get real here. There are definitely ghosts and other entities out there besides just us. (I believe in aliens too, cause how could there not be other lifeforms throughout the vast expanse of the universe?) Did you know that DMT or N, N-Dimethyltryptamine is a molecule that is found in potentially all living things? Did you know it's also illegal? There's another dumbass law. DMT, an entheogen (which is a plant, fungus, or even a secretion of a certain kind of amphibian with psychoactive properties that people have used for thousands of years in shamanic rituals) is known as the most powerful psychedelic substance on the planet, but our brains make it! Why? DMT has been dubbed the Spirit Molecule (actually there's a documentary on the subject by the same name DMT: The Spirit Molecule that's really worth watching if you're interested in this kind of stuff!). I think DMT is the physical molecular manifestation of our consciousness! It's produced when we are born, and when we die and it's been suggested that it affects dreamstates as well! And it's in all living things! It's a sort of theory of mine anyway. lol

Anyway, I'm actually pretty tired and am going to put a stop to this long-ass post now! haha Let me know what you guys think! Have questions?

Do you guys have any plans you'd like to share about the future? When I get around to it, I'll share my plans to eventually live out of a bus or two and travel the country!Good night and much peace and love to ya, fam!
